DOT shares highway study progress Agency lists preferred options for Sterling Highway safety corridor By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

How many lanes should there be? How should the lanes be divided? What are environmental concerns? Is lighting an option? How much room is available for a pathway? Where should turn lanes be included? Those are a few of the questions officials working on an Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities

Sterling Highway Safety Corridor Study are working to answer. And DOT&PF is looking to the public for feedback to help select the best option to increase safety and mobility to the 11.5-mile stretch of highway between Soldotna and Sterling. At meetings in Soldotna and Sterling this week DOT&PF shared its Decision Document for the Sterling Highway Safety Corridor Study, which explores highway lane alternatives between Mile

82.5 and Mile 94. “The document will stay in draft form until after the meeting(s) and depending on what we hear, we may make some changes,” said Anne Brooks, public involvement coordinator. The department also identified its preferred option and ruled out two alternatives for road construction. Aside from doing nothing, the document identifies five alternatives for the highway:

A) 4-lane divided with a 30-foot depressed median; B) 4-lane divided with two-way leftturn lane or raised median; C) 2-lane divided with 30-foot depressed median; D) 2-lane divided with 30-foot depressed median with alternating passing lanes; E) 4-lane divided with a 2-foot concrete barrier.

In the news Groups ask to have yellow cedar listed

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Four conservation groups have petitioned the Interior Department to list an iconic Alaska tree as threatened or endangered because of climate change. Yellow cedar for centuries has been carved by Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian people for canoe paddles and totem poles. They could remove a lengthwise strip of bark from a living tree to use for weaving baskets and hats, and as backing in blankets because the trees can compartmentalize the damage and heal themselves. Yellow cedar can resist insects and rot and live more than 1,000 years but their shallow roots are vulnerable to freezing. In a paper published in 2012, U.S. Forest Service researchers concluded that climate warming has meant less snow, and less insulation for the ground. Elevated mortality began around 18801890 and peaked in the 1970s and 1980s, according to the study. Across 781 square miles of Alaska’s Panhandle, more than 70 percent of yellow cedar trees have died because of root freeze induced by climate change, according to the petition.

Teen injured in traffic collision By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

A 16-year-old girl riding a motorbike sustained non-life threatening injuries after a truck hit her when she attempted to cross Kalifornsky Beach Road Wednesday afternoon. Alaska State Troopers and Central Emergency Services responded to the accident at about 2:30 p.m. on K-Beach Road between VIP Drive and

Bowpicker Lane. Trooper Ronny Simmons said the girl was headed southbound with a 17-year-old boy on a motorbike when she crossed the street in front of a white Chevy pickup. The truck wasn’t able to stop in time and struck the bike, he said. “All eyewitness reports conclude she didn’t stop or look and came out in front of the pickup,” Simmons said. The driver of the truck, Luke

Demientieff, did not suffer any injuries. The truck sustained minor damage to the front end and was towed because it leaked fluid, Simmons said. The girl was wearing a helmet. CES Health and Safety officer Brad Nelson said the girl was conscious and talking while CES paramedics transported her to Central Peninsula Hospital for treatment of her injuries. Simmons said the girl suf-

fered a broken leg. Alaska Department of Transportation crews are in the process of constructing a pathway on the Cook Inlet side of Kalifornsky Beach Road. Simmons said the girl came off a trail on WestWay Road and attempted to cross from one trail to another. Reach Dan Balmer at daniel.balmer@peninsulaclarion. com.

ANCHORAGE — A judge ruled Wednesday that a commercial fishing group should pay part of the State’s cost for the lawsuit regarding management of the Cook Inlet salmon fisheries in 2013. Alaska Superior Court Judge Andrew Guidi issued an order asking Cook Inlet Fisherman’s Fund to pay the state Department of Law $12,924. That amount was 20 percent of what the state spent defending itself in the fisheries management lawsuit, according to a Department of Law memo filed with the court June 18. The Cook Inlet Fishermen’s Fund, or CIFF, sued the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in July 2013, asserting that fisheries managers did not follow Cook Inlet salmon management plans appropriately that year and caused harm to commercial fishermen. Guidi denied a preliminary injunction that summer. After hearing oral argument May 29, Guidi granted the state’s motion for summary judgment June 2. He wrote in his final decision that there was See CIFF, page A-2

Correction In a photo accompanying a June 19 Business page article called “Odie’s ownership stays local” Odie’s employee Ruairi Tuite’s name was misspelled. The Clarion regrets the error.

Potters guild lease terminated over insurance issues By DAN BALMER and RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

ing the eviction including that the kilns used for making pottery could not be fired, members of the public were barred from entering the potters guild space and that the arts guild would file legal action to evict potters guild members if the terms of the lease termination were not met. “Their activities put our own insurance at risk,” Kashi said. “It is unfortunate it had to happen this way. We are surprised and sorry to see them go.” Laura Feo, president of the potters guild, said the art guild never made an attempt to inform them of their decision ahead of time. “(Kashi) handed us an eviction letter and ordered the kilns to be shut down,” she said. “We have complied with everything thrown at us and we still haven’t been given a straight answer.”

After 41 years in the same space, the Kenai Potters Guild is homeless. The guild shared a space with the Peninsula Art Guild at the Kenai Fine Arts Center in Old Town. However, the art guild board voted unanimously to remove the potters guild at a May 30 meeting after questions arose over the building’s insurance coverage and whether the potters guild was, or could be, included in that coverage. Potters guild members were evicted with the notice that the art guild’s insurance did not and would not cover the potters guild and that lack of coverage could cause the City of Kenai to terminate the building lease, according to a resolution from the Peninsula Art Guild board. In a letter to the potters guild Insurance dated June 6, Peninsula Art Guild secretary Joe Kashi listed The issue of insurance covseveral conditions accompany- erage for the potters guild went

unnoticed for many years until the art center looked into prospective liability insurance at the request of the potters guild, a separate entity of the arts center, Kashi said. It is unclear when communication between the art guild and its insurance company resulted in a revelation that the potters C

guild would not be covered. Kashi said he was told via emails that potters guild would not be covered, however neither Kashi nor the insurance company would provide the emails said to contain that assessment. When asked to provide emails verifying that the art guild’s insurance company

would not cover the potters guild, Kashi said he was going through his emails from the insurance broker and that “they equivocate a little bit,” and that the insurance company told him that they would decide whether the potters guild would be covered after a claim had occurred, “which is no good for anybody,” he said. Kashi provided fully redacted copies of emails exchanged between himself, a State Farm Insurance agent and an agent at Walters & Associates and Peninsula Art Guild board president Shauna Thornton. However, the content of those emails is unreadable. Kashi said board members for the Kenai Fine Arts Center were shown the emails before they voted unanimously to evict the potters guild from the shared building. The potters guild has since received five insurance quotes for its operations, said potters guild treasurer Karen Momell. See GUILD, page A-7

Appeals court: Gays have right to marry marriage ban. It becomes law in the six states covered by the 10th Circuit: Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. But the panel immediately put the ruling on hold pending an appeal. The Utah attorney general’s office planned to appeal, but it was assessing whether to go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court or ask the entire 10th Circuit to review the ruling, spokeswoman Missy Larsen said. Wednesday’s decision “takes us one step closer to reaching certainty and finality,” the office said in a statement. After the ruling, the couples named in the appeal hugged, cried and exchanged kisses at a news conference outside their attorney’s offices in downtown Salt Lake City. “This decision is an absolute victory for fairness and equality

for all families in Utah, in every state in the 10th Circuit and every state in this great nation of the United States,” said their attorney, Peggy Tomsic. Plaintiff Derek Kitchen said he and his partner, Moudi Sbeity, are “so proud to be a part of history.” Later, about 300 people rallied in support of the ruling at a Salt Lake City park where rainbow flags and colorful signs were displayed proudly. “It’s an incredible day,” said Chris Johnson, who married his partner, David Tuma, in December while gay marriage was briefly legal in Utah. “We met 19 years ago. We are former Air Force officers. It’s wonderful after 19 years to have this relationship.” The decision gives increased momentum to a legal cause that already has compiled an impres-

sive record in the lower courts after the Supreme Court last year struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Since then, 16 federal and state judges have issued rulings siding with gay marriage advocates. The latest of those rulings was in Indiana, where a federal judge threw out that state’s same-sex marriage ban Wednesday in a decision that immediately allows gay couples to wed. The Indiana and Utah rulings came just one day ahead of the anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision striking down part of the federal anti-gay marriage law.

DENVER — A federal appeals court ruled for the first time Wednesday that gay couples have a constitutional right to marry, extending the movement’s legal winning streak and bringing the issue a big step closer to the U.S. Supreme Court. The three-judge panel in Denver ruled 2-1 that states cannot deprive people of the fundamental right to marry simply because they choose a partner of the same sex. The court dismissed as “wholly illogical” the notion that allowing gays to wed could somehow undermine traditional marriage. The decision by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel upheld a lower-court ruling that struck down Utah’s gay

Obituary Mike Andrew Truesdell

Volleyball tournament served up

Mike Andrew Truesdell died Thursday, June 19, 2014 at his home in Ninilchik, with his son Rocky by his side. Mike was 70 years of age. Mike was born July 26, 1944 in Seattle, Washington, to David and Charlene Truesdell, who are deceased. Mike first came to Alaska and lived in Anchorage from 1953 thru 1956 knowing then that Alaska would forever be his home calling. He later joined the Navy in 1965, serving two years, until 1967. It was said with laughter that he had dated the head of the Draft Board’s daughter. He later traveled in 1972 to Fairbanks where he lived seven more years before moving to Ninilchik and Homer in 1979. In this time a son, Rambul, was born. After leaving Homer, Mike spent 29 years in California. In 2009, he retired and returned to Ninilchik where he has spent the remaining five years of his life. He is survived by two sisters; his three sons, Rambul, Rocky and Ben; and their mother Sinde. Mike enjoyed commercial fishing, dog mushing, gold mining and living at summer fish camps in the interior. Later in life he would snowboard at Tahoe, California, and loved to hike. Around the Peninsula, he enjoyed beachcombing. He loved to do crossword puzzles and having the company of his friends and immediate family. In retirement Mike enjoyed going to the Ninilchik Senior Center and attending his local church, St. Peter the Fisherman United Methodist Church. He loved the people and they loved him. His quiet gentle nature and thoughtful manner made him an unforgettable presence among his community. Mike was a deep thinker, sometimes thought too much, as one son said. He was appreciated and loved by many. To us all Mike was a special man who placed a “deep footprint” in this earth. Who he was at the end, was who he was at the beginning. He had his ups and downs, but he stayed true to himself. He was a true Alaska “sourdough.”

What Others Say

No excuse for ‘Medicaid gap’ A study by the state Department of

Opinion

CLARION P

Health and Social Services released earlier this month gave insight into the segment of Alaska’s population that falls into the “Medicaid gap” — those who would have qualified for federally funded health care under an expansion of Medicaid rejected by Gov. Sean Parnell. The expansion of Medicaid was a tenet of the federal Affordable Care Act, colloquially known as “Obamacare,” that became law in 2010. It was an attempt to provide health coverage for the poorest Americans — those people under age 65 earning less than $14,859 per year. Under the law, the group wouldn’t have qualified for subsidization of a private insurance plan, so an expansion of Medicaid would have provided them coverage instead. But Gov. Parnell opted not to allow that expansion in Alaska. Calling the Medicaid expansion “a hot mess,” he said he believed it would saddle future generations with heavy debt. At the time of his rejection of the expansion in late 2013, the number of Alaskans estimated to fall within that gap was 40,000. The recently released DHSS study has revised that number downward, estimating that 10,000 to 12,000 Alaskans are truly without coverage after subtracting those who are covered through tribal organizations or other groups. While this figure is meant to clarify the number of Alaskans truly in need, and 10,00012,000 citizens without meaningful health care coverage is a substantial reduction from earlier estimates, Gov. Parnell’s decision not to allow federal coverage despite a lack of a state solution for their care is difficult to justify. The claim that the Medicaid expansion and Obamacare in general are overly expensive and a “hot mess” has yet to be determined. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office forecast sizable savings for the country from the act — $124 billion over the 10 years after it was enacted — and though delay and modification of some Obamacare provisions have had an impact on that figure, an estimation the CBO released this week forecasts the same or greater savings now that four of those 10 years have elapsed. Still, there are a great many moving pieces in the law, and it’s still feasible that its impact could swing in either direction. Given his opposition to many aspects of the act, Gov. Parnell’s skepticism about its savings are understandable. But there’s little evidence to justify Gov. Parnell’s claim that the Medicaid expansion would be overly costly to the state. The federal government would fund 100 percent of costs for those newly covered by the expansion through 2016, after which the state would pick up 10 percent of costs with the federal government covering the other 90 percent. But even at 10 percent, the state would be paying a far smaller share of costs than it pays for current Medicaid enrollees (about 43 percent on average). And without any plan in place, the state is already picking up roughly a third of the tab for Alaskans who can’t pay for their care. It’s difficult to do the math in a way that would have the state spending more money under an expanded Medicaid system than it already spends due to emergency care for those falling in the Medicaid gap. As the non-partisan RAND Corporation states in a brief on Medicaid expansion costs, “We estimate that the increased coverage triggered by health reform would reduce state and local spending on uncompensated care by as much as $18.1 billion, annually, across all states. So it’s in the best economic interest of states to expand Medicaid. Their costs of expanding coverage will generally be lower than the expense they would face for uncompensated care.” We’re already paying the federal taxes that fund the Medicaid expansion, but in the wake of Gov. Parnell’s denial of the expansion, we’re paying for the costs of other states without reaping any of the potential benefits. In the meantime, a group of Alaskans that could fill the Carlson Center to capacity more than twice over have no meaningful health coverage and no way to pay for their care. Continuing to deny coverage to those who are least able to afford it, even when non-partisan estimates show we’re already paying more to foot the bill for their care, just doesn’t make sense. We hope the governor — or, failing that, the state legislature — will reconsider and allow the expansion of Medicaid. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, June 22

The struggles of Hillary Clinton

We haven’t learned much new about Hillary Clinton on her book tour except that she mistakes herself for a version of Norma Rae. First, during an interview in her wellappointed Washington, D.C., home with ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, she said she and Bill left the White House “dead broke,” although they always made better potential subjects for “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” than “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.” Next, in an interview with The Guardian, she seemed to suggest that she and Bill aren’t among the “truly well off,” and said that no one could possibly resent their wealth since they earned it “through dint of hard work.” And so they did — the hard work of building political careers for themselves, and then, when the time came, profiting massively off them. As Hillary put it in her walk-back of the “dead broke” remark, she and Bill had different “phases” in their lives. One phase involved climbing into the White House and incurring stupendous legal bills in fending off various scandals. The other has involved getting showered with money. Most people can’t understand the nature of the hard work with which the Clintons are constantly building their fortune. They don’t know what it’s like to write a calculatedly tedious book for an almost $14 million advance. They don’t know what it’s like to get up

Letters to the Editor Support for 14th annual Kenai Peninsula Air Fair appreciated The Kenai Peninsula Air Fair Planning Committee for the Cities of Kenai and Soldotna would like to thank all the volunteers, sponsors and businesses who generously contributed to make our event very popular and successful. Thirty-two pilots and friends participated in the peninsula wide poker run. First place was won by Nikki Kinne of Fairbanks, second place went to Randy Olefelein Sr. from Anchorage, and third place went to Henry Knackstedt from Kenai. A total of 20 poker prizes were handed out. Prize sponsors who generously contributed: Cities of Kenai and Soldotna, Alaska Sea-Kayakers, Alaska West Air, Alaska Railroad, Barnstormer Aviation, Burger Bus, Chugach Outdoor Center, Dan’s TV & Appliance, Diamond M Ranch Resort, Grant Aviation, Home Depot, Ken’s Alaskan Tackle, Metal Magic, Nenana Raft Adventures, RAVN, SBS, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Trinity Greenhouse, Walmart, and Wayward Winds Studio.

They don’t know what it’s like to Rich Lowry run from speech to speech, collecting as much as $200,000 per gig. They don’t know what it’s like to be married to a man who earns $700,000 for one speech in Nigeria. They don’t know what it’s like to have a daughter who gets paid $600,000 by NBC News for a not particularly taxing job. They don’t know what it’s like to be so connected that even your hangers-on can get rich. This is the life of labor the Clintons have chosen, and if it is arduous, it has its rewards. Between 2000 and 2008, the couple made roughly $110 million in income. They own two homes, one valued at $5 million in Washington, and another valued at $1.8 million in New York state. Last summer, they rented an $11 million mansion in the Hamptons. Such is their wealth that they are using complicated tax maneuvers to limit their exposure to the estate tax.

Classic Doonesbury, 1975

as an average working gal, as she has during the past couple of weeks. The country has a long history of successful wealthy Democratic politicians (FDR, JFK), but a more recent example of an unsuccessful wealthy Democratic politician (John Kerry), who suffered from the perception that he was an out-of-touch elitist. Hillary’s expressed cluelessness about how truly well off she is, and why, risks putting her in the Kerry category. As Daniel Drezner of The Washington Post points out, her attitude surely reflects class divisions within the top 1 percent. If you hang out with celebrities and billionaires long enough, you will feel positively middle class even as you pull down millions of dollars per year. Her cash windfall also will make the Democratic war on inequality at least a little more awkward, although she’s no different than other Democratic scourges of inequality who almost always sop up as much money as possible as soon as they’re out of government. For liberals, to paraphrase an old Ronald Reagan quip, fair reward for hard work and talent is when you get rich; a crisis in income inequality is when someone else does. But Hillary would know nothing about these gradations within the upper stratosphere of wealth. She’s working too hard just to make ends meet.

New publisher brings experience to the Clarion By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Over the course of 28 years, Vitto Kleinschmidt has risen through the newspaper ranks from a position in home delivery to publisher of the Peninsula Clarion. Kleinschmidt is taking over the position from Stan Pitlo, who is retiring from the paper after 21 years. Kleinschmidt comes to the Clarion from the Juneau Empire, another Morris Publishing Group, LLC, paper, where he worked as the circulation and operations director. In his three years at the Empire, Kleinschmidt said he helped in multiple departments. “(Wherever) I could help because the paper has to go out and the show must go on,” Kleinschmidt said. Initially, Kleinschmidt said he wants to get to know not only the Clarion employees but also the community. “I want to guide this newspaper in the right direction and do it while having fun and meeting

our goals,” he said. Pitlo said some parts of the job will be easy for Kleinschmidt to step into; however, employees will have to get used to a different management style. He recommended Kleinschmidt to listen to department heads and be flexible as change can be difficult for employees — especially after many years with the same publisher. But employees also need to be patient and consider that change isn’t necessarily a bad thing, Pitlo said. “I did everything I could do to take the department heads as far as I could,” Pitlo said. “Maybe someone new can take them further.” Kleinschmidt had never been to Alaska before he took the position in Juneau and moved up with his family. “We just took a chance, a leap of faith,” Kleinschmidt said. “And we love it (in Alaska).” His career in the newspaper industry began in Texas delivering the paper. He worked at multiple publications in Washington, a publication in Illinois

NY attorney general sues Barclays PLC By TOM HAYS Associated Press

NEW YORK — British banking and financial services firm Barclays PLC misled large institutional investors and other clients by falsely telling them it was taking measures to protect them from predatory high-frequency traders, New York’s attorney general said Wednesday. The allegations against Barclays were contained in a securities fraud lawsuit that Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced at a Manhattan news conference. The complaint, filed in state Supreme Court, portrays “a flagrant pattern of fraud, deception and dishonesty with Barclays clients and the investing public,” the attorney general said. In a statement, Barclays spokesman Mark Lane said the bank was

cooperating with the attorney general. “We take these allegations very seriously. ... The integrity of the the market is a top priority at Barclays,” Lane said. The lawsuit alleges Barclays, , deceived investors about its dark pool, an electronic trading operation intended to shield them from the high-frequency traders who use sophisticated computer programs to get early access to pending orders and other marketmoving information. The bank promoted a service it claimed was a “surveillance” system that would identify and hold accountable “toxic,” ‘’predatory” and “aggressive” traders, the lawsuit says. Instead, the service “was essentially a sham,” Schneiderman said. “Barclays has never prohibited any trader from participating in its dark pool, regardless of how predatory or aggressive its behavior was determined to be.”

and moved back to Texas to work at a new Spanish publication before moving to Juneau. “I love it. I’ve loved it from day one and I still love it to this day,” Kleinschmidt said about working in the newspaper business. His favorite position, so far, has been circulation director because it is all-encompassing and involves working with business owners. “You get to go out more, talk to people, get to know the subscribers and the advertisers, and I enjoyed that very much,” Kleinschmidt said. “I enjoyed meeting other people and being out on the field.” After his first daughter, Melody, who is now 17, was born, Kleinschmidt began taking classes again to earn a business management degree from the University of Phoenix. “It was challenging … and now it’s paying off,” he said. This is Kleinschmidt’s first time in Kenai. He hopes to

Explosion rocks mall in Nigeria By BASHIR ADIGUN and HARUNA UMAR Associated Press

ABUJA, Nigeria — An explosion blamed on Islamic extremists rocked a shopping mall in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, and police said 21 people were killed. The blast came as Nigerians were preparing to watch their country’s Super Eagles play Argentina at the World Cup in Brazil. Many shops at the mall have TV screens but it was unclear if the explosion was timed to coincide with the match, which started an hour later. Witnesses said body parts were scattered around the exit to Emab Plaza, in Abuja’s upscale Wuse 2 suburb. One witness said he thought the bomb was dropped at the entrance to the mall by a motorcyclist. All spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. Soldiers shot and killed one suspect as he tried to escape on a power bike and police detained a second suspect, Mike Omeri, the government spokesman for the insurgency, said in a statement. Billows of black smoke could be seen from a mile (kilometer) away, and police said 17 vehicles were burnt out in the blast. “I heard the explosion and (felt) the building shaking,” said Shuaibu Baba, who had a narrow escape. He said he rushed downstairs to find that the driver who had dropped him a few minutes earlier was dead. “I asked the driver to come with me, and he said ‘No,’ he would wait for me in the car.” Police Superintendent Frank

A Nigerian soldier, center, walks, at the scene of an explosion in Abuja, Nigeria, Wednesday. An explosion rocked a shopping mall in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, on Wednesday and police say at least over 20 people have been killed and many wounded. Witnesses say body parts were scattered around the exit to Emab Plaza, in the upscale Wuse 11 suburb.

Mba said 17 people were wounded and 21 bodies were recovered. Omeri urged people to be calm and said the government was doing everything possible “to check the activities of insurgents.” It is the latest in a series of violent attacks blamed on Islamic extremists. Nigerian security forces appear incapable of curtailing the near-daily attacks concentrated in the northeast, where Boko Haram extremists have their stronghold. On Tuesday night, extremists in the northeast attacked a military checkpoint and killed at least 21 soldiers and five civilians, witnesses and a hospital worker said Wednesday.

A soldier who escaped said the militants also abducted several of his colleagues in the attack near Damboa village, 85 kilometers (53 miles) from Maiduguri, capital of Borno state. The extremists attacked in a convoy of more than 30 trucks armed with anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers and powerful submachine guns while the soldiers had only AK-47 assault rifles, said the soldier, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to reporters. He said he saw at least 16 of his colleagues gunned down before he ran away. A worker at Maiduguri’s main hospital said he counted the corpses of 21 soldiers brought to the morgue.

A federal intelligence officer also confirmed the attack, saying the soldiers were overrun. He also is not allowed to speak to reporters. A spokesman for vigilante groups fighting Boko Haram, Muhammed Gava, said the extremists also killed five elderly men in the village that has been deserted by most inhabitants. Abuja is in the center of Nigeria and the militants have spread their attacks to the capital. Two separate explosions in Abuja in April killed more than 120 people and wounded about 200 at a busy bus station. Both were claimed by Boko Haram, which has threatened further attacks. A bomb at a medical college in northern Kano killed at least eight people on Monday. Last week, at least 14 died in a bomb blast at a World Cup viewing site in Damaturu, a state capital in the northeast. In May, twin car bombs in the central city of Jos left more than 130 people dead; and a car bomb at a bus station killed 24 people in the Christian quarter of Kano, a Muslim city. Boko Haram attracted international condemnation for the April mass abductions of more than 200 schoolgirls, and is blamed for this week’s abductions of another 91 people — 31 boys and 60 girls and women with toddlers as young as 3. Nigeria’s military and government claim to be winning the war in the 5-year-old insurgency but the tempo and deadliness of attacks has increased this year, killing more than 2,000 people so far compared to an estimated 3,600 killed over the past four years.

Around the World Kerry issues warning as officials say Syria bombed militant targets in Iraq BAGHDAD — Syrian warplanes bombed Sunni militants’ positions inside Iraq, military officials confirmed Wednesday, deepening the concerns that the extremist insurgency that spans the two neighboring countries could morph into an even wider regional conflict. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned against the threat and said other nations should stay out. Meanwhile, a new insurgent artillery offensive against Christian villages in the north of Iraq sent thousands of Christians fleeing from their homes, seeking sanctuary in Kurdish-controlled territory, Associated Press reporters who witnessed the scene said. The United States government and a senior Iraqi military official confirmed that Syrian warplanes bombed militants’ positions Tuesday in and near the border crossing in the town of Qaim. Iraq’s other neighbors — Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey — were all bolstering flights just inside their airspace to monitor the situation, said the Iraqi official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. American officials said the target was the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the Sunni extremist group that has seized large swathes of Iraq and seeks to carve out a purist Islamic enclave across both sides of the Syria-Iraq border. “We’ve made it clear to everyone in the region that we don’t need anything to take place that might exacerbate the sectarian divisions that are already at a heightened level of tension,” Kerry said, speaking in Brussels at a meeting of diplomats from NATO nations. “It’s already important that nothing take place that contributes to the extremism or could act as a flash point with respect to the sectarian divide.”

Privacy ruling, Supreme Court tells police: ‘Get a warrant’ before searching cellphones WASHINGTON — In an emphatic defense of privacy in the digital age, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that police generally may not search the cellphones of people they arrest without first getting search warrants. Cellphones are unlike anything else police may find on someone they arrest, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court. They are “not just another technological convenience,” he said, but ubiquitous, increasingly powerful computers that contain vast quantities of personal, sensitive information. “With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans the privacies of life,” Roberts declared. So the message to police about what they should do before rummaging through a cellphone’s contents following an arrest is simple: “Get a warrant.” — The Associated Press

Boehner says House plans to sue Obama BY DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON — The House will vote next month on legislation authorizing a campaign-season lawsuit accusing President Barack Obama of failing to carry out the laws passed by Congress, Speaker John Boehner announced on Wednesday. In a memo distributed to House members, Boehner, ROhio, accused Obama of “aggressive unilateralism” and said if left unchecked, it would give the president “king-like authority at the expense of the American people and their elected legislators.” White House press secretary Josh Earnest dismissed any suggestion that the president has failed to act within the law in issuing executive orders or taking other actions. “We feel completely confident that the president was operating within his authority as the president of the United States to take these steps on behalf of the American people,” he told reporters. Whatever the outcome of the suit in the courts, Boehner’s announcement guarantees creation of yet another political struggle between Republicans and Obama and his Democratic allies in a campaign already full of them. “On matters ranging from

health care and energy to foreign policy and education, President Obama has repeatedly run an end-around” on the public and Congress, the speaker wrote. He accused him of “ignoring some statutes completely, selectively enforcing others and at times, creating laws of his own.” At a news conference, Boehner strongly brushed aside a question of whether impeachment proceedings could result from the suit. In his memo, he stopped short of accusing the president of violating his oath of office. Instead, he said Obama was “straining the boundaries of the solemn oath he took on Inauguration Day.” Other Republicans have been less restrained. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Pa., said recently the

House probably has the votes to impeach Obama, although he said he wasn’t calling for it. One former tea party-backed lawmaker, ex-Rep. Allen West of Florida, has called for the House to vote to remove the president from office. Boehner also rejected a suggestion that the suit was a political move designed to give

traditional Republican voters an added impetus for going to the polls this fall when control of Congress will be at stake. But Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who chairs the Democratic campaign committee, said Boehner planned a “politically motivated lawsuit,” and predicted the voters would punish Republicans for it.

DOT&PF evaluated the designs on safety, traffic capacity, mobility, engineering, maintenance and operations, land use, environmental resources, pedestrian and bicycle accommodation and cost. In each category, the alternatives were ranked most favorable, less favorable or least favorable. Officials have ruled out alternatives C and D because they don’t meet the purpose and need. Alternative A has been identified as the preferred option and B and E could be used in select areas.

While she declined to name the companies because the group members had yet to review them, she said they were all A rated and should satisfy the city requirements.

Kilns

At issue are two kilns, one gas-fired, the other electric, that are used to heat and dry pottery after it is shaped. According to Kashi’s letter to the potters guild, when insurance was obtained for the building, the usage was listed as an art gallery, a low risk operation. However, the pottery-making aspect, according to Kashi’s letter, was “very high risk industrial, generally uninsurable, type of operation by insurance companies,” and was not listed on the insurance agreement. “As a result, we have been informed by the insurance companies that there is NO insurance coverage at this time for any fire or other building damage nor for injury that might occur as a result of the pottery operation. In the event of any fire or loss, there would be No coverage,” according to Kashi’s letter. “There is a general consensus by both the insurance people and the engineers that the existing kiln, particularly the gas-fired kiln, is a serious fire hazard, not to mention a potentially serious carbon monoxide

The 4-lane highway divided with a depressed median had five most favorable marks — the most of any alternative. It ranked high in safety, capacity, mobility, maintenance and operations and land use. The alternative calls for two 12-foot travel lands in each direction, 8-foot outside shoulders, 4-foot inside shoulders and a 30-foot depressed center median. It was the only category to receive no least favorable marks. Dennis Linnell, project manager, Hattenburg, Dilley and Linnell, LLC, said members of the public have commented that they would like to see a pathway along the highway. Alternative A takes up a large amount of right-of-way making it difficult to construct a path

with optimum separation from the road of at least 22 feet along the entire stretch of highway. If a path is constructed, he said in areas where optimum separation is possible, that’s what DOT&PF would do and in areas where the path would be close to the road, a guardrail would likely be installed. Linnell said one of the biggest challenges with the project is figuring out how to balance two competing needs —mobility and access to residences and businesses. Keith Baxter, Soldotna City Council member, attended the meeting in Soldotna on Tuesday and said with the highway serving local and through-traffic, he is glad to hear DOT&PF is considering both sides.

According to DOT&PF, the 11.5 miles of highway is over capacity and has a high rate of fatal and major injury crashes. Moose-involved collisions accounted for 28 percent of crashes between the Kenai Spur Highway and Moose River from 2000 to 2010, with 80 percent of those crashes happening at night. Twenty-seven percent of crashes were rear-end collisions. Compared to statewide averages, running off the road, headon and sideswipe collisions are overrepresented. Nearly 75 percent of crashes happened between October and March during twilight or after dark. Rear-end and right-angle crashes occurred at a slightly higher rate, 55 percent, between April and September. This data

corresponds with higher traffic volumes. The highest crash areas were at Robinson Loop Road to Murray Lane, the Forest Lane and Jim Dahler Road intersection to Boundary Street, Boundary Street to Mackey Lake Road and Mackey Lake Road to Devin Drive. The next step in the process is the preliminary engineering study, which Brooks said gets into detail about right-of-way, access points and drainage issues. The process for the engineering study will being in July and wrap up in the first quarter of 2015, she said. In December 2013 DOT&PF held a public meeting about the project. Locals at the meeting expressed concerns about

moose mitigation, the amount of traffic, drivers speeding and accessibility to businesses along the highway. DOT&PF also held mobile meetings in parking lots in Soldotna and Sterling last summer for local citizens to discuss the safety corridor. Linnell said most commenters have been supportive of the project. “Everybody knows something needs to be done,” he said.

hazard for the entire building,” according to Kashi’s letter. “The art center/art guild is particularly concerned about the gas-fired kiln because of a recent fire-brick failure, the lack of adequate venting, the recent break/welding repair of the metail (sic) part of the gas kiln, and the ability to actually see flames through gaps in the fire brick wall when firing.” Kenai Fire Marshall Eric Wilcox said he last inspected the Kenai Fine Arts Center in 2011, and Feo said he had inspected the building again after the potters guild was given notice of eviction. Wilcox said he never deemed the kilns a fire hazard, but did make recommendations that were corrected by the potters guild. “Kilns are not flammable,” Wilcox said. “The biggest thing is heat and newer kilns don’t get hot on the outside. As for the gas-fired kiln, carbon monoxide can get in the air in a close area but it is standard when operating to open a door and have a fan running for ventilation. They are safe and not anything to be afraid of.” Kashi also contacted a retired North Slope safety engineer from Homer, David Green, to have a safety report completed. Green said Kashi sent him several photos of the kilns and surrounding areas and described the building operations. “I know a little bit about the operations of kilns and kilns have certain problems and have to be built a certain way,” Green said.

From the photographs, Green said he identified a few potential hazards, specifically that certain particulates could escape from the kilns during the firing process and could cause breathing problems for those exposed. Ultimately, Green said, he suggested that the art guild do a detailed investigation to make sure that the kiln operations were safe, but he said the issues he pointed out were meant to be considered potential problems, not problems specific to the kilns located at the Kenai Fine Arts Center.

the gallery. Her ceramic art was supposed to be on display in the main gallery through the month of June. In the pottery building, shelves of ceramic art have already been removed. She said she removed her art “as more of a reaction, and to make a statement.” “I would like to see this resolved in a positive manner so others can take advantage of having a place to learn pottery,” she said. The potters guild held classes in wheel throwing and hand forming in their studio space. Currently it is the only group on the Kenai Peninsula that teaches pottery. While membership for the potters guild is about 10 people, Bill Holloway said, the space was never underutilized. Feo runs a small business and said she uses the kilns to make pottery she sells at farmers markets. “I have basically been put out of business,” she said. “This is my livelihood. (The art guild) claims to support local artists but here they are putting us out of work.” Nelson, founder of the art guild, said the pottery guild is a special place for ceramic artists and part of several members’ livelihood. “This is a valuable community resource,” Nelson said. According to the letter from Kashi to the potters guild, if members fire between now and September, the City of Kenai

is willing to direct ENSTAR Natural Gas Company to cut off the gas and the art center would disable electricity to the electric kilns. Kenai City Manager Rick Koch said if someone fired the kilns after he or she was ordered not to, he wasn’t sure what he would do. The city has a contractual relationship with the art guild and expects the insurance requirements contained in the lease agreement to be upheld, he said. Koch said he was unaware of the art guild’s subleasing agreement with the potters guild. The Kenai Fine Art Center leases its space from the city for $1 per year. Bill Holloway said the potters guild paid $150 per month for rent, not including utilities.

about the insurance coverage and he handed out information on prospective insurance. “When I first walked in, I was looked at as the enemy,” Hillhouse said. “I answered their questions, put things in perspective and they were very courteous. I got a lot of hugs afterwards.” Feo said in her mind the potters guild has done what they can to rectify the issue and some of the board members have been helpful and reasonable. While the potters guild has previously talked about moving into a larger space prior to this situation, she said four months is not enough time for them to find a new space. Kashi said the potters are a small group of the overall art community, but will be missed. The art guild and city plan to help find a new place for the group to continue operations, hopefully in a larger and less crowded space, he said. “These things are always difficult,” Kashi said. “People tend to see their own concerns. I am trying to make things straightforward so there are no misunderstandings … There are many other groups currently without access to studio space. We will repurpose the space.”

Community impact The potters guild has used the space on a month-to-month sublease since 1973 and never had an incident, said Bill Holloway, husband of Becky Holloway, who has been a potters guild member for 17 years. Anyone who fired the kilns went through training first and the doors were left open to allow proper ventilation when operating the gas kiln, Bill Holloway said. “I trust experience over (Kashi’s) claim,” Bill Holloway said. “A lot of people are upset over the way it was done. It is a shame this had to happen the way it did.” According to the resolution from the art guild, members of the potters guild have until the end of September to remove everything from the building. Anything left will be disposed. Becky Holloway wasted no time in removing her items from

Filling the space Kashi also said after extensive discussions, the City of Kenai told the art guild about several grants that might be available to make the pottery space available for workshops for other art groups. Becky Holloway said she is unsure what the next step for the potters guild will be. The group recently met to discuss the search for a new space and insurance options. Clayton Hillhouse, art guild board member, attended the potters guild meeting. He said people asked him questions

Oilers, Bucs split moist league doubleheader Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Anchorage Bucs and Peninsula Oilers split a doubleheader in wet conditions at Mulcahy Park in Anchorage Wednesday, as the Bucs took the first game 12-1 and the Oilers won the second 8-2. Both games were seven innings. The two squads are also tied 2-2 in the five-game series, which ends today with a 7 p.m. matchup. In the first game, a fast start by the Bucs led to 14 hits against the Oilers, who managed four. All nine Anchorage batters managed at least one hit, which resulted in five doubles,

three triples and a home run. Five Bucs batters also batted in two runs. Catcher Nick Thurman led the Oilers’ bats with a 2-for-3 performance, including a home run. Josh Rose and Jordan Sanford each provided a hit each. Evan Manarino (1-0) got the win on the mound for Anchorage, pitching five innings and giving up one run on three hits and seven strikeouts. Manarino currently holds a 1.80 ERA this season. For the Oilers, Jimmy Nesselt (2-1) went four innings, giving up six earned runs on seven base hits, with two walks and three strikeouts. Nick

Rogowski pitched an inning with six earned runs on seven hits, and Chad Rieser finished up with one hitless inning on the hill, with one walk and one strikeout. Cade Reiten started the scoring in the first inning with a double that brought Garrett Copeland home. Reiten was then brought home on a triple from Andy Crowley, who then scored on a home run from Evan Powell. In all, the Bucs scored four runs in the inning. After scoring two runs in the fourth inning, the Bucs added six more in the fifth on the strength of seven hits. The Oilers scored their lone

run in the top of the third on a homer from Thurman, his first of the year. The second game continued in drying conditions as the rain eased up — even as the onfield sprinklers delayed things near the end — and the Oilers came away with the victory much the same way the Bucs did in the opener, with a flurry of hits and runs in the first three innings.

Argentina, France take top seeds Messi leads home nation to win; Switzerland, Nigeria also advance The Associated Press

PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil (AP) — Argentina beat Nigeria 3-2 in the last World Cup Group F match on Wednesday, with Lionel Messi and Ahmed Musa scoring two goals each before Marcos Rojo kneed in the winner. Argentina topped the group and Nigeria also advanced despite the loss, becoming the first African team in the Round of 16 in Brazil. Messi had his best match of the World Cup so far, scoring twice in the first half to boost his tournament total to four goals, and repeatedly cutting up Nigeria’s defense with dazzling runs and clever passes. “We played against a team that wanted to play,” Messi said. “I think we saw a good Argentina. We need to continue on this path.” The Argentina captain needed less than three minutes

to finish Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama’s clean sheet in Brazil, slamming in the rebound after Angel Di Maria’s shot bounced off the post. Nigeria replied within a minute as Musa cut in from the left and beat Sergio Romero with a curling shot toward the far post. Nearing halftime Messi tested Enyeama with a 25-meter free kick that the goalkeeper struggled to push to a corner. Having found his aim, Messi was ice cold when Nigeria gave up another free kick just moments later from a slightly shorter distance. SWITZERLAND 3, HONDURAS 0 MANAUS, Brazil (AP) — Xherdan Shaqiri scored all three goals Wednesday to put Switzerland into the second round of the World Cup with a lopsided victory over Hon-

duras. The Swiss will next face Lionel Messi and Argentina on Tuesday in Sao Paulo. Shaqiri scored his first goal in the sixth minute, dribbling into a crowd of defenders and curling a shot into the net off the underside of the crossbar. In the 31st, he collected a pass from Josip Drmic after a defensive error and easily beat Honduras goalkeeper Noel Valladares. FRANCE 0, ECUADOR 0 RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — France topped Group E despite being held to a scoreless draw by 10-man Ecuador. Ecuador was reduced to 10 men after Antonio Valencia was shown a straight red card in the 50th minute for digging his studs into the leg of French defender Lucas Digne. But Ecuador may feel upset that France center half Mama-

dou Sakho was not shown a red card in the eighth minute when he appeared to elbow Oswaldo Minda in the face during a France corner. Then, in a late incident off the ball, France forward Olivier Giroud jabbed his elbow in to Gabriel Achilier, who was standing behind him. BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA 3, IRAN 1 SALVADOR, Brazil (AP) — Bosnia-Herzegovina ended Iran’s hopes of advancing to the knockout stages from Group F, and registered its first World Cup win in the process. The Bosnians, who were already out of contention, took a commanding 2-0 lead with goals from Edin Dzeko in the 23rd and Miralem Pjanic in the 53rd before Iran hit back in a desperate late bid to qualify for the second round.

The Legion AA Twins swept a Wednesday league doubleheader with Fairbanks Post 30 at Bartlett High School in Anchorage. The Twins used the 10-run mercy rule on Fairbanks in the first game to win 17-6 in five innings, then topped them again 5-1 in the second game, which was rain shortened to five innings. The Twins (5-3, 6-3), will be on the road again for a Sunday doubleheader against Chugiak. Post 20 went wild in the first game, notching 12 hits while Post 30 struggled with only four hits. Tommy Bowe led the Twins’ bats with a 3-for-3 day, adding two runs and two RBIs, while teammate Hector Rivera batted 1 for 3 and had three runs and three RBIs. Tyler Covey hit 2 for 3 with two runs and two RBIs, and Kenny Griffin was 1 for 2 with two runs and two RBIs. “The guys took care of business,” said Twins coach Hector Rivera. “They were hitting the ball well and they took advantage of mistakes.” Covey started on the mound for Post 20, going two innings and allowing three earned runs on one hit, one strikeout and six walks.

Coach Rivera pulled Covey in the third inning in favor of Miles Jones, who recorded the win and allowed three runs on three hits, zero walks and two strikeouts. “Once we stopped the walks, everything went well,” Rivera said. The Twins were able to get seven runs in the second inning to bolster their early lead, then used seven hits to score ten runs in the fourth inning. In the second game of the day, both teams struggled with hitting due to a light rain that continued to fall, and Rivera said the umpires called a quick meeting with both coaches that resulted in a decision to end the game after five innings if the rain did not let up. Fortunately for the Twins, a 5-1 lead after the fifth inning resulted in the victory. Post 20 managed three hits, including a “rocket” of a home run over the left field wall by Dallas Pierren in the top of the fifth which extended the lead. Pierren batted 2 for 2 for the day. Griffin provided the Twins’ other hit. The team scored a run in the first inning, then added three more in the third. Josh Darrow recorded the win on the mound by going the distance, allowing an unearned run on four hits, two walks and four strikeouts.

Knicks, Mavs deal 6 players in trade SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer

The Mavericks sent guards Jose Calderon, Shane Larkin and Wayne Ellington and center Samuel Dalembert to the Knicks for Chandler and point guard Raymond Felton. The Knicks also get both of Dallas’ draft picks Thursday night, a pair of second-round

selections at Nos. 34 and 51. New York didn’t have a draft pick before the first major personnel move since Phil Jackson took over as team president. “The journey to build this team for the upcoming season and beyond continues,” Jackson said. “We have added players with this move that will fit right in to our system while maintaining future flexibility.” New York is hoping to keep Carmelo Anthony despite the star forward planning to opt out of his contract and become a free agent on July 1. The Mavericks are reportedly on a short list of new destinations Anthony will also consider.

Lincecum pitches second career no-hitter against Padres The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tim Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter against the San Diego Padres in less than a year, allowing only one runner Wednesday and leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 win. Lincecum totally shut down the weakest-hitting team in the majors, striking out six and walking one. He retired the final 23 batters after walking Chase Headley in the second inning. The 30-year-old Lincecum (6-5) threw 113 pitches for this win. Last July 13 at San Diego, he threw 148 pitches while holding the Padres hitless. The right-hander became the second pitcher in major league history to twice no-hit the same team. This was the third no-hitter in the majors this year. Lincecum went 2 for 3 with a

walk and scored twice. Buster Posey got four hits, including a double, and drove in two runs. Ian Kennedy (5-9) allowed four runs on nine hits over 6 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out eight. RAYS 5, PIRATES 1 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — David Price struck out 11, becoming the first pitcher in 10 years to fan at least 10 in five straight starts, and Tampa Bay beat Pittsburgh. Price (6-7) gave up five hits and one walk in 8 1-3 innings, leaving the game after Andrew McCutchen’s home run in the ninth. The last pitcher with five straight starts of 10 strikeouts was Minnesota’s Johan Santana in 2004. Price also set a franchise record for strikeouts in a month with 54. He went 2-3 in five June starts. Ben Zobrist’s RBI triple highlighted the Rays’ three-run first inning off Charlie

ANGELS 6, TWINS 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Garrett Richards pitched four-hit ball into the eighth inning to win his fourth straight decision, and the Angels earned their fifth straight victory. Erick Aybar got two hits and stole two bases as Los Angeles won for the 14th time in 16 games at Angel Stadium, moving to a season-high 10 games over .500 at 43-33. The Angels are unbeaten on their homestand, matching their longest winning streak of the year. Oswaldo Arcia homered for the Twins, who have lost seven straight road games for the first time since September 2011. Yohan Pino (0-1) got through just three innings in his second major league appearC

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Scooter Gennett had a grand slam and five RBIs, Khris Davis added a solo shot, and Milwaukee roughed up ace Stephen Strasburg in a rout of Washington. Homer-prone starter Marco Estrada (74) allowed just two hits — and no homers — and pitched effectively into the seventh for the Brewers, who bounced back a day after falling 4-2 in 16 innings to Washington. Davis finished with three RBIs. Strasburg (6-6) was tagged for eight hits and seven runs in 4 2/3 innings. It matched a career-worst outing for Strasburg, who also allowed seven earned runs in a two-inning start against Miami on July 12, 2013. The Brewers’ bats broke out after scor-

ing just two runs in 25 innings in the first two games of a series between NL division leaders. Milwaukee had 13 hits, even with Ryan Braun, Aramis Ramirez and Jonathan Lucroy all getting a day off.

CARDINALS 9, ROCKIES 6 DENVER (AP) — Matt Adams homered and drove in two runs, Matt Holliday had three hits, and St. Louis rallied to beat Colorado. Drew Stubbs homered, and Justin Morneau had two hits for the Rockies, who finished their homestand 1-5. The game featured the major league debuts of both starting pitchers. St. Louis’ Marco Gonzales was sharp early before faltering. Colorado’s Yohan Flande also started well before getting hit hard in his last inning. Pat Neshek (2-0) pitched an inniwng in relief to earn the win. Trevor Rosenthal got four outs for his 23rd save in 26 chances. The Cardinals scored twice in the See MLB, page A-9

Well, one was hit Wednesday night — and the folks in Nashville undoubtedly will be talking about it for a long time. John Norwood’s tie-breaking homer in the top of the eighth inning carried Vanderbilt to a 3-2 win over Virginia in the third and deciding game of the CWS finals, giving the Commodores their first national championship. “I thought it was gone, but you never know in this park,” Norwood said. “I was just hoping it went out, and if it didn’t, I knew my teammates would pick me up. It’s a home run, but it’s also a team effort to get here. We were confident the whole entire year.” Norwood turned on Nick

Howard’s 97 mph fastball and sent it into the left field bullpen for only the 25th home run hit in the four years the CWS has been played in the cavernous TD Ameritrade Park. It was Norwood’s third homer of the year, his first since April 19, and Vanderbilt’s first since May 16. It also was only the third home run in 16 CWS games this year and the 22nd in 72 games by the Commodores (51-21). “I was praying it was gonna be gone,” Vandy’s Tyler Campbell said, “and to see it land in the bullpen was awesome. Obviously, Virginia is a tough team and we still had to come out in the ninth and play hard until it was over.” The Cavaliers (53-16) loaded the bases with one out in the eighth when Adam Ravenelle hit Kenny Towns. But Mike Papi was forced out at home on a chopper to Ravenelle, and Brandon Downes grounded out.

Boys and girls making putts and memories as pristine play continues The Birds have established a mighty fine crew this year. The clubhouse has great food, and a friendly staff. On the course the greens are looking excellent and tee boxes looking good. The entire crew is doing a great job keeping the course in pristine conditions from the clubhouse, the range and the greens. Ladies Night Although the weather wasn’t too great last Wednesday, we still had some women come out and play ladies night. The first place team of Pat Bird, Sissy Bird, and Susan Ellis came in with a score of 41. On hole No. 3, Sissy Bird hit an incredibly accurate putt, winning her longest putt. On hole No. 2, the one and only Kelsey Slough crushed the ball winning her long drive again. How someone with a stature so tiny can hit the ball so far is beyond belief. How can someone hit the ball over 100 times their height?! You will have to see it to believe it. Join us for a night away from men, every Wednesday night at 6:30. Don’t be discouraged to come out because of your skill level, it is best ball format and we are out there for a good time with no men, not serious heart-pounding competition.

Men’s Night Tuesday night was a beautiful night and we had a great turnout for men’s night. We had 25 guys show up for a night of golf with only men. Dean Cash led his team to a first place win in a chip off. The first place team consisted of Dean Cash, Trevor Baldwin, Cuz Cousins, and James Kozel. The second place team was Hans Brans, Scott Sundberg, Rob Robertson and Aaron Blackburn, and both teams came in 1-under. Long drive on hole No. 5 went to Aaron Blackburn. On hole No. 6, Mike Fastabend hit a great tee shot, landing him only 13 feet from the hole. Mike Fastabend also finished up on No.6 by getting a pure birdie. Men’s night is held every Tuesday night at 6:30. What man doesn’t want an excuse to get out of the house and be free from women and kids for a whole evening? The format is best ball, blind draw, so don’t be worried about your individual golf game, the men are out there to have fun, so beginners don’t be worried to join the fun. Quilters Tournament recap The Funny River Quilters did an amazing job hosting and organizing

B ird H omestead G olf R eport Kelsey S lough their 12th annual tournament Saturday. They had a great turnout with 28 avid golfers showing up in the rain to help such a great cause.

Second place, “The Misfits” (Kevin Hanson, Aaron Blackburn, Dan Skipwith, Mike Fastabend) and third place “Billy & The Kids” (Gary Lindman, Glenn Cole, Billy Hilton, Judi Christianson).

Aaron Blackburn tuned in his precision and got his tee shot to land only 22 inches from the pin on No. 8, winning him closest to the hole. The mighty Kelsey Slough hit her tee shot on hole No. 6, a mere seven feet, 10 inches, away from the hole, winning her closest to the pin, and also a nice C

Rushin’ the rushing Russian By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

The battle has begun on the Russian River where an unexpectedly large run of sockeye salmon prompted managers to loosen restrictions on fishing the early run. Anglers who make their way to the clear Cooper Landing-area river can bag six sockeye salmon a day and have up to 12 unprocessed fish in their possession at a time. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game also expanded the area allowed for fishing for early run sockeye, opening the Russian River Sanctuary Area, a move many anglers said left the best spots open to lay a line the water and catch a red salmon. The sanctuary is at the confluence of the Russian and Kenai Rivers where the obscured glacial water of the Kenai gives way to the crystal clear water of the Russian and anglers with polarized lenses have a good chance of spotting a fish before they land it. “Fish seem to hold there before they go up the Russian,” said Dave Goggia,

owner of Hooky Charters. But, the clear water and close access to a campground can make shoulderto-shoulder fishing a regular occurrence in the area. “I think if you go early in the morning or late at night, you can get away from the crowds,” Goggia said. While local tackle shops carry Russian River flys, Goggia said he would use the Kenai Bug. “Years ago, I was fishing and I used flies like everybody else — Russian River flies — and this guy came up and said it was a new fly he had developed and gave me one and he said ‘I think you’ll have better success.’ Doggone if he wasn’t right.” Goggia said he buys the bugs, a hook wrapped with different bright colors of yarn, for his clients every year.

Sockeye going strong, kings to be had in saltwater By KELLY SULLIVAN and RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

Sockeye Reports of sockeye salmon catches on the Russian River are still ranging between “good and excellent” two weeks after the opening of the fishery, said Alaska Department of Fish and Game assistant management biologist Jason Pawluk. An emergency order opened the Russian River Sanctuary Area to fishing for sockeye salmon on Tuesday. The emergency order also increased the sockeye salmon bag limit to 6 per day and 12 in possession upstream from Skilak Lake to Fish and Game regulatory markers located approximately 300 yards upstream of the public boat launch at Sportsman’s Landing and the Russian River from its mouth upstream to an Fish and Game marker located approximately 600 yards downstream from the Russian River.

Last Thursday, in a foot survey taken between the Russian River Falls and Halfway Hole, biologists counted more than 10,000 sockeye salmon in that area, indicating the run is still strong, Pawluk said. Logbook reports indicate sport-fishing efforts in the Kasilof have mostly shifted toward sockeye salmon, which also indicates successful fishing in that area, Pawluk said.

Resident species The best option for rainbow trout and Dolly Varden fishing is on the upper Kenai River, Pawluk said. Discarded carcasses from the sockeye salmon fishery are now heavy in the confluence area of the Russian River into the Kenai River. The concentrated food source draws trout and Dollies to the area, making for a good place for catching the resident species, Pawluk said. The bag limit for both species is one per day and one in possession, and the fish must be

less than 18 inches long.

Salmon It is safe to say the early run king salmon fishery on the Kasilof River is coming to a close, Pawluk said. Reports of success are low and will likely continue to dwindle. Fishing for king salmon on the Kenai River is closed through June 30. On the Kasilof, the bag and possession limit is restricted to one hatchery king salmon. Hatchery king salmon are distinguished from natural king salmon by their missing adipose fin. A healed scar will be in its place. The annual limit for king salmon larger than 20 inches in the Cook Inlet is five. Treble hooks, baiting or scents are prohibited on the Kasilof. Anglers must use single hooks on king salmon. In the salt water, anglers have had success trolling for feeder king salmon near Flat Island, Point Pogibshi and Bluff

Point. Anglers are also reporting catches of sockeye, chum and pink salmon in those areas, according to the Fish and Game Lower Cook Inlet fishing report. Popular trolling set-ups for king salmon include herring, hootchies, tube flies and spoons with dodgers or flashers for extra attraction. In Homer, king salmon fishing in the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon is good, anglers have had success with salmon eggs, herring and blue Vibrax spinners, according to the report. King salmon have also been returning to Seldovia and the Halibut Cove Lagoon.

The China Poot personal use dipnet fishery opens July 1. Personal-use caught sockeye must have both tips of the tail fin removed.

Clamming

The next series of clamming tides run from June 25-30. For razor clams, try beaches on the west side of Cook Inlet where they tend to be more abundant. For beaches on the east side, those North of Clam Gulch access road have been the most productive this season, according to the Lower Cook Inlet fishing report.

Homer-area jazz musician leaves for school, branches out By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

It took five years, a move to New York City and some soulsearching, but Kenai Peninsula trumpet player and musician Joe DeCino has graduated from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. While he left Homer with aspirations of being a professional jazz-trumpet player, DeCino found himself drawn increasingly to other instruments and the art of composition — so much so that he didn’t touch a trumpet during his final recital. “About two years in (to studying) I had to take some time off of the horn,” DeCino said. “It opened my eyes to all of these other facets of music that I was way more capable and interested in. I just started studying everything, a lot of composition and conducting and production and arranging — I finished as a jazz trumpet major, but that was just on paper.” This summer will be the first that DeCino stays in New York rather than traveling back to Alaska to earn money fishing out of Homer. DeCino said his final recital at the The New School reflected the diversity of his musical interests — but also showcased the connections he made while studying in New York, jamming with a succession of brilliant jazz musicians. A 16-piece band made up of musicians DeCino has met and played with during his time in New York, performed during DeCino’s May 12 recital. The “foot-tall stack” of sheet music DeCino wrote was not finalized until a few hours before the show and DeCino said the group sight-read most of his big band arrangements. The recital, a showcase of DeCino’s talent as a musician, composer and student at The New School, was difficult to put together. “The band that I put together

for the show was world class and I was totally humbled to have these people playing for me because it was pretty much for free and, really, they saved (me) completely,” DeCino said. “There were quite a few people in the band who were sightreading.” DeCino said he had scheduled one rehearsal so he could hear his big band compositions played — otherwise individual musicians arrived knowing they would be playing music they had not seen before. “Musically, it was very interesting,” said Tatum Greenblatt, a well-known professional trumpet player based out of New York. “I hadn’t gotten a chance to hear Joe’s music before.” Greenblatt, who has known DeCino for five years and calls the Alaskan musician his “private fish supplier,” said he was impressed with DeCino’s versatility and ability to change direction mid-degree and devote himself to composition rather than trumpet performance. “He even performed a couple of pieces on the piano,” Greenblatt said of DeCino’s recital. “(It) was impressive because I didn’t even know he played the piano.” Greenblatt said DeCino’s personality lent itself to being able to surprise people with little-known skills. “Joe is a wonderfully eccentric person in, sort of, what he wants to do with his life and things that he wants to experience. He’s always looking for new things to do and going off on these really impressively crazy life journeys and I think seeing him do that on the piano was a little subset of that part of his personality,” Greenblatt said. “He didn’t seem at all nervous about it and got up and directed (the big band) and was like ,‘Now, I’m going to sit down and play this impossible piano thing.’” Bob DeCino, Joe DeCino’s dad, said he liked to hear his

son’s jazz and big band arrangements. “When he’s got his big band thing going and he comes in with those first few beats that just part your hair — I like that,” Bob DeCino said. “The really cool thing is that he’s good at networking and good at bringing really good people around to play music with and when you’ve got a good talent for conducting and that kind of stuff. .. when he puts a show together I like to just go soak it in

because they’re so awesome.” Bob DeCino said he was sad to see his son put aside the trumpet, but recognized that his talent might lay more on the composition-side of creating music. “I was probably more disappointed than surprised,” Bob DeCino said. “Because he would always be playing the trumpet, practicing the trumpet when I’d be making dinner or something, so my music was listening to him practice which See JOE, page B-2

‘Jump Street’ sequel in on the joke R eeling It In C hris J enness “22 Jump Street” Columbia Pictures 1 hour, 52 minutes Comic actor Nick Offerman sums up the concept of “22 Jump Street” perfectly in one of the first scenes of the film: “When the ‘Jump Street’ reboot was first proposed, everyone, myself included, expected it to be a huge failure. Much to the surprise of all, it was a hit, and now the department wants to do it again, just with much more money.” He’s talking about the undercover narcotics operations, of course, but really he’s talking about the movie.

Eli Wallach, veteran character actor, dies at 98 By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

NEW YORK — Eli Wallach, the raspy-voiced character actor who starred in dozens of movies and Broadway plays over a remarkable and enduring career and earned film immortality as a conniving, quick-on-the-draw bandit in the classic Western “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” has died. He was 98. The actor’s son, Peter Wallach, confirmed Wednesday that his father passed away Tuesday evening in New York from natural causes. “The best way to honor him is to put on one of his movies,” he said. “Put on ‘Baby Doll’ or ‘Magnificent Seven.’ Those live forever.” Wallach and his wife, Anne Jackson, were a formidable duo on the stage, appearing in several plays dating back to the 1940s. He won a Tony Award for his supporting role in Tennessee Williams’ “The Rose Tattoo” in 1951, was an original member of the Actors Studio, and was still starring in films well into his 90s. “He was as wonderful a person as he was an actor,” said Robert De Niro. “He will be missed.” Wallach may be best remembered for his role as Tuco in “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” In the Sergio Leone spaghetti Western, Clint Eastwood (The Good), Lee Van Cleef (The Bad) and Wallach (The Ugly) attempt to outwit and out shoot each other in pursuit of a trove of gold coins buried in a Civil War cemetery. Wallach played a menacing, yet lovable, outlaw who had committed every crime in the book: “murder, armed robbery ... inciting prostitution, kidnapping, extortion ... rape” as the executioner intoned in one famous scene before Tuco escaped a hanging. The movie — with a haunting score by Ennio Morricone — was the third film in a trilogy that included “Fistful of Dollars” and “For a Few Dollars More,” and influenced a generation of filmmakers. Wallach’s character had several memorable lines, including, “When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk,” after being confronted by

‘Although I limp in life as a result of my two hip operations, whenever I go onstage with Anne, the lights give my body a lift and I prance onto the stage and dance off.’ —Eli Wallach a rival gunslinger. “Everywhere I go, someone will recognize me from ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ and start whistling the theme song,” he said in a 2003 interview. “I can feel when it’s going to happen. I smile and wave, and they wave back.” Wallach, an eager storyteller, even titled his 2005 memoir “The Good, the Bad, and Me: In My Anecdotage.” Wallach also starred in the steamy “Baby Doll” (1956), “The Magnificent Seven” (1960), “The Misfits” (1961), an Arthur Miller-written film that starred Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, “Lord Jim” (1964) with Peter O’Toole and “The Godfather III” (1990), in which he played a murderous mobster who dies after eating poisoned cannoli. He and Jackson starred in a series of plays, including George Bernard Shaw’s “Major Barbara” in 1956 and a hugely successful run of “Luv” in the mid-1960s. A critic once hailed them as “the proletarian Lunts,” a reference to Alfred Lunt and his wife, Lynn Fontanne, who at the time were the most famous couple in the American theater. “Although I limp in life as a result of my two hip operations, whenever I go onstage with Anne, the lights give my body a lift and I prance onto the stage and dance off,” Wallach said in his 2006 memoir. “I feel I can play a 16-year-old if the author calls for that. Which is why I prefer live acting to film — I come alive with the lights.” Wallach was born in Brooklyn on Dec. 7, 1915, the son of an immigrant candy store owner. He dabbled in dramatics in high school, while becoming a table-tennis champion. His brother and two sisters had become teachers, and other family members were doctors and lawyers. Wallach, who had as a trumpet player — so I’m just trying to increase my own musicality I suppose.” Still, the trumpet will stay by his side, Joe DeCino has plans to move to Africa next year and teach English in Adis-Abba, Ethiopia. “I’ll take my instrument to Africa and travel around,” he said. “I’m looking forward to seeing things and experiencing things and feeling things that I’ve never comprehended before; to wipe the slate clean of all the subconscious parts of culture that I take for granted. I feel like if I do that and really dig into that difference, I can sort of set up a better platform to make a decision that really resonates with me about what next to do in life.”

I liked a lot... I miss it because of my own selfish reasons but I just like to hear him play.” While he’s not sure what is next, Joe DeCino has a few ideas and said he will continue playing the myriad of instruments he took up after deciding to shift his focus from the trumpet. “I’ll keep the trumpet up because, just as a composer or an arranger, it’s really helpful to be able to write music from the point of the player,” DeCino said. “So I play a lot of piano and cello, guitar and saxophone.

Dylan’s draft of ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ sells for $2 million NEW YORK (AP) — A draft of one of the most popular songs of all time, Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone,” sold Tuesday for $2 million, which the auction house called a world record for a popular music manuscript. A working draft of the finished song in Dylan’s own hand went to an unidentified bidder at Sotheby’s. The selling price, $2.045 million, included a buyer’s premium. The manuscript is “the only known surviving draft of the final lyrics for this transformative rock anthem,” Sotheby’s said. The draft is written in pencil on four sheets of hotel letterhead stationery with revisions, additions, notes and doodles: a hat, a bird, an animal with antlers. The stationery comes from the Roger Smith Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Dylan was 24 when he recorded the song in 1965 about a debutante who becomes a loner when she’s cast from upperclass social circles. “How does it feel To be on your own” it says in his handwriting. “No direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone.” Scrawls seem to reflect the artist’s experimentation with rhymes. The name “Al Capone” is scrawled in the margin, with a line leading to the lyrics “Like a complete unknown.” Another note says: “... dry vermouth, you’ll tell the truth...” Sotheby’s described the seller as a longtime fan from California “who met his hero in a non-rock context and bought directly from Dylan.” He was not identified.

appeared in plays as far back as grade school, elected to study acting. Acting definitely did not run in his family, Wallach once said, “Being an actor to them is like joining the Foreign Legion.” His drama training was interrupted by World War II service in the Army medical corps, in which he earned the rank of captain. From 1945 to 1948, he appeared in several Broadway plays but had to work as a swimming instructor and camp counselor to make ends meet. His stage career eventually took off, thanks in large part to his success in Tennessee Williams productions. He appeared in “The Rose Tattoo,” then “Camino Real” and later had a long run in “Teahouse of the August Moon.” His debut film, directed by Elia Kazan, was “Baby Doll,” based on the Williams’ play. It was condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency for what was termed its “carnal suggestiveness.” He became a charter member of the Actors Studio, along with up-and-coming performers such as Marlon Brando, Karl Malden and Jackson. He was one of the nation’s early students of Method acting, where actors draw upon their own memories and emotions to replicate the emotional conditions under which the character operates. After “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” his relationship with Leone soured. Leone had

This Feb. 27, 2011 photo shows actor Eli Wallach, left, and his wife Anne Jackson at the 83rd Academy Awards in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles. Wallach, the raspy-voiced character actor who starred in dozens of movies and Broadway plays over a remarkable and enduring career died Monday of natural causes. He was 98.

promised him a role in the Western “Duck, You Sucker,” but the studio wanted Rod Steiger. Wallach had already canceled another project to take on the role in “Duck, You Sucker,” and was angered by losing the part. Wallach did not slow down in his later years. He played a store owner in 2003’s “Mystic River,” directed by Eastwood, and had a part in the romantic comedy “The Holiday” in 2006. In 2010, he was featured as an old financial hand in Oliver Stone’s “Money Never Sleeps,” the sequel to “Wall Street.” Wallach met Jackson while they were appearing offBroadway in Williams’ “This Property Is Condemned.” They

married in 1948 and had three children, Peter, who became a film animator, and two daughters, Roberta and Katherine, both of whom followed their parents into acting. Wallach’s nephew is New York Times film critic A.O. Scott. The actor once said: “Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you’ve got a pretty neck.” Though he never won an Oscar, Wallach was awarded an honorary Academy Award in 2010, hailing him as “the quintessential chameleon.”

Eastwood presented the award, calling him “a great performer and a great friend.” “I’ve played more bandits, thieves, killers, war lords, molesters and Mafiosi that you could shake a stick at,” said Wallach. “As a civilian, I collect antique clocks, tell endless stories of my days as a medic in World War II, watch every tennis match, live for my family, daily mail, run the dishwasher, take pictures of faces in the bark of trees.” “I don’t act to live,” he said. “I live to act.”

. . . Reel

Rarely do you go to see a big budget, mainstream comedy that is this self-aware and screwball. It’s good stuff, and very funny, but does get a little overbearing at times. The number of times they refer to their current assignment in the terms of a sequel starts to wear. OK — I get it. You the filmmakers are aware of how silly the original was, how unlikely it was to be a massive hit, and how silly sequels in general are. You can stop hitting me over the head with it. I can’t complain too much about the filmmakers, though. Chris Miller and Phil Lord are the amazing creative team behind “The Lego Movie,” “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” and the original “21 Jump Sstreet.” These guys are able to take bizarre, nonsensical concepts and spin them into pure gold. I don’t know that I would suggest “22” is gold, but it is a heck of a lot of fun. One tip, stay for the credits, where the stars and their director lampoon the entire idea of a whole series of “Jump Street” films. “22 Jump Street” is rated R for language, comedic violence, and mild sexual situations.

going to college. And, in order to maintain the continuity that the police force sees as success, they go undercover with the exact same back stories and identities, despite those being blown at the end of the last film. The emotional conflicts are the same as they were previously, though reversed here, with Schmidt being the awkward one this time around, and Jenko getting to be the successful popular one. Even some of the sequences are similar, i.e., the freaking out on the crazy designer drug scene. Far from being lazy writing, however, “22 Jump Street” is doing everything it can to skewer the very concept of a sequel. It’s a brilliant move, making the movie almost impossible to criticize. When Schmidt’s art major girlfriend turns in a flat performance, you have to wonder, is it just because she’s not a good actress or that the writing isn’t very good, or is the flaw intentional because sequels tend to be shoddy rehashes? Hard to say.

Expectant mom’s disappointment more common than she thinks Crossword ing him, I felt the same way. I didn’t think I could love him like I could love a daughter. I didn’t tell anyone about my feelings and I, too, felt like a monster. But this all changed once I held my son for the first time. I can’t imagine now living without my little guy, and I wouldn’t change him for the world. “Undeserving” is not Abigail Van Buren alone. Many women feel this way about having a son. Like Abby said, don’t rush into signing any papers, because you may find that when you hold him for the first time, you will fall in love and you would deeply regret having done so. — UNDERSTANDING MOM DEAR ABBY: “Undeserving Mommy,” you are so lucky to be the mother of a prince. Every princess dreams of marrying a prince. You need to reread the fairy tales and get some counseling. — GRANDMOTHER OF PRINCESSES AND PRINCE CHARMING DEAR ABBY: You should have also advised that

woman that before she has four children — princes or princesses — she should get an education, a job and a husband so society won’t have to support her little “kingdom.” Too many children have no father figure to help raise them. I spent my working life striving to educate my children, and achieving that goal is much more difficult when there aren’t two loving parents to share the job. — FRED IN THE MIDWEST DEAR ABBY: Even if that child was another girl, there is no guarantee that she would be a girly-girl; she could easily be a tomboy, gay or prefer sports to tea parties. There is also no guarantee that the little girl “Undeserving” already has will be a girly-girl. Abby, you were right to advise counseling. This unwed mother shows disturbing signs of living in a fantasy world. And it may well be that the precious baby boy she is expecting would be better off being raised by the father and his family. — JANE IN ST. JOHNS, MICH. 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.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Cancer and a Moon in Gemini if born before 5:05 p.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Cancer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 26, 2014: This year you need to pull back and listen to yourself more often. You are full of questions, nearly like a child seeking answers. To others, your questioning could be worrisome or exhausting. Try to center yourself, and you might get a better reception. If you are single, you could meet someone of interest after July. Let a new relationship flow naturally. If you are attached, the two of you start acting like two peas in a pod. You will enjoy each other’s company more than you have in a long while. PISCES is a good listener. 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) HHHH Others could find you to be unusually inquisitive, as you seek out many answers. You might get a lot more information than you originally had anticipated. Some of what is shared could be significant at a later point. Tonight: Make it an early night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might be trying to solidify a money matter. You could feel out of sorts when dealing with someone who does not understand the liabilities of a situation, but who considers him- or herself an expert. Move on, and you will be happier. Tonight: Your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Find out what is happening

Rubes

with someone who might be intentionally avoiding you. Consider an opportunity elsewhere. Let go of the present problem, and make it a non-issue. You will be valued more if you leave this situation behind. Tonight: Buy a token of affection. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might feel overwhelmed by a situation. Recognize that you have been overthinking it. Listen to news with a more open mind, as you will need to gain a different perspective. Talk to others, and curb a need to always be right. Tonight: Nap, then decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Someone will be very inquisitive, and he or she could evoke your suspicions. This person doesn’t have a deep motive, but is simply curious. You might not be aware of the impression you make on others. You are far more intriguing than you realize. Tonight: Follow your friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will want to rethink a decision with an eye on expenses. You have the capacity to want to spend, but you also are able say “no.” A parent might share his or her opinions and put you in a difficult situation. Make plans later in the day. Tonight: Where your friends are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by an option that you had not even considered. Reach out for more information, and touch base with someone at a distance. This person has a lot of questions for you that you will need to answer. Tonight: Consider a unique idea.

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be confused by what someone is saying. Understand that this person has difficulty relating to others. Try to help him or her focus on the main issues. You also could decide not to deal with this situation right now. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to allow someone who feels as if he or she has the most understanding to come up with an idea. Listen to news with an open mind. Others keep seeking you out; let them take the lead. Tonight: Go with the best idea! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Pace yourself, and complete as much as you can. A brainstorming session could throw you off schedule, but it will be worth it. What emerges as a result of this conversation could lead to a great idea. You will want to mull this conversation over several times. Tonight: Play it relaxed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHHAllowyouringenuitytocome out. Listen to news, even if you do not think you will like what you hear. Do not forget about a loved one — your calls mean a lot to this person. Your advice is likely to help him or her get past a hassle. Tonight: Slow down just a little. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Stay more centered with a family member. A real estate matter might come to the forefront. You could hear a lot of good news when you decide to open up a conversation. Your authenticity marks your interpersonal interactions. Tonight: Head out on the town.

Honey, what a mess! Dear Heloise: The container that holds honey leaked all over my kitchencabinet shelf. The shelf is plastic, and I can’t take it out of the cabinet. How can I clean this mess? — Julie P. in Oregon Start by taking everything off the shelf and any lower shelves. Next, boil some water and pour it over every place on the shelf that has sticky patches of honey. Cover the water and honey with paper towels. Continue to add more boiling water until the towels are completely soaked. Finally, cover the entire area with plastic wrap. After about 10 or 15 minutes of letting the water and paper towels sit (until the honey is softened), you should be able to remove the paper towels, plastic wrap and honey all at once. For stubborn, stuck-on spots, you may need to repeat the process. — Heloise Temporary tag Dear Heloise: I recently went on a trip, and my daughter kept my dog. I was worried that if something happened and my dog got out, she wouldn’t be able to get ahold of me. I went to a large pet-supply store, which had a machine that makes tags in a few minutes. I made one that had my daughter’s information on it. Before I left on my trip, I traded out the tags on my dog’s collar. That way, if something happened and he got picked up, they would call my daughter first. — Vicky in Louisiana Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com.

DEAR ABBY: When I read the letter from “Undeserving Title of Mommy” (March 4), the pregnant woman who was saddened by the fact that she’s expecting a baby boy instead of the girl she had hoped for, my heart went out to her. I was reminded of something I had read about, a condition called gender depression or gender disappointment. In the cursory search I did, it was almost always described as what this mother seems to be feeling — disappointment, sadness, guilt, etc. Unfortunately, this condition isn’t widely discussed, in much the same way that postpartum depression isn’t talked about. However, from what I’ve discovered, the writer is far from the only woman to experience this. Many women describe their feelings about gender disappointment on parenting websites. This may be a good start, opening a discussion for this woman on what she is feeling. She should also consider talking to her doctor to find out what resources may be available to her as she works through this. I hope she finds the help she needs. I wish her well. — CONCERNED IN NEW MEXICO DEAR CONCERNED: Thank you for the suggestion. Many women sympathized with “Undeserving.” Read on for more responses: DEAR ABBY: I have a son, and when I was carry-
