Dipnetters fish for sockeye salmon from boats near the mouth of the Kenai River Monday.

Fishery enforcement ramps up Wildlife troopers issue citations for dipnetting violations By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

With thousands of dipnetters on the water in anticipation of the peak sockeye salmon runs on the Kenai River, the Alaska Wildlife Troopers have increased their presence in the area for the rest of the month. In addition to the 13 wildlife troopers already assigned to the Soldotna post, six troopers arrived Wednesday to patrol the Kasilof and Kenai river personal-use fisheries, said Alaska Wildlife Trooper Lt. Paul McConnell. The Soldotna post is short on manpower with two vacant positions unfilled, wildlife troopers from around the state have been brought in to help

Alaska Wildlife Troopers have issued 44 citations from July 8-14 for the Kenai River and Kasilof River personal-use fisheries. Fail to record — 11 Fail to mark fish — 5 Fail to release snagged salmon — 2 Fishing during closed period — 8 Dipnetting in closed wa-

enforce fishery regulations, he said. This year the Alaska State Legislature added $175,000 to the troopers’ budget to aid in the enforcement of the Cook Inlet fisheries. McConnell said

ters — 6 Sport fish guiding without a guide license — 1 Not releasing king salmon — 3 Not releasing Dolly Varden — 4 No dipnet permit — 1 No boat registration — 1 Non-resident — 1 Falsification of license — 1

the extra funds have allowed the troopers to provide a more significant presence. Wildlife Troopers have issued 30 citations to dipnetters on the Kenai River since July 10 when the fishery opened,

according to troopers dispatch. McConnell said despite lower crowds for the opening weekend, a majority of violations issued to dipnetters for failing to record their catches and fishing during closed periods. “The biggest thing people need to remember is record and mark your fish before you leave your fish site,” McConnell said. “We ask people to make sure they all know the regulations. It is better to ask questions before you go out because it’s a lot less expensive when you get yourself into trouble.” Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations state, “the salmon must be marked before the salmon is concealed See DIPNET, page A-7

WASHINGTON — A retired Coast Guard admiral was named Wednesday as the first U.S. special representative for Arctic issues, overseeing American policy in the icy region that is becoming a global focus for economic opportunities and security concerns. In a statement, Secretary of State John Kerry said retired Adm. Robert J. Papp has broad foreign policy experience and a “passion” for the Arctic that makes him the ideal diplomat to advance U.S. interests in the region. “I could not be happier that he agreed to postpone his well-deserved retirement and join our effort in a cause about which he is both passionate and wise,” Kerry said of Papp, who stepped down as Coast Guard commandant just two months ago. The U.S. next year will chair the Arctic Council, which is made up of eight nations that reach into the Arctic Circle and aims to protect the thawing region as its seas open to commercial shipping traffic. The U.S. touches the Arctic Circle in Alaska, and that state’s two U.S. senators have long pressed the Obama administration to name a permanent envoy to the region. The Arctic is growing hotter faster than any part of the globe. Global warming has melted sea ice to levels that have given rise See ARCTIC, page A-2

Fishery managers contend with ‘perfect storm’ By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

A scenario that area management biologists were hoping to avoid is playing out between the Kenai king and Kasilof sockeye salmon fisheries this week as strong sockeye salmon runs continue to push their way into the Cook Inlet while weak king salmon runs will likely force further restrictions on fishing in the Kenai and Kasilof rivers. Sportfishing anglers, personal-use fishing dipnetters and both set and drift gillnetting commercial fishers have found their means, methods and available time affected as Alaska Department of Fish and Game

managers juggle competing fishing interests and conservation during the busiest time of the fishing season on the Kenai Peninsula. For the third fishing season in a row managers are calling the situation a “perfect storm” of competing salmon escapement goals.

Commercial fishing Commercial fishers have harvested about 1 million sockeye in Upper Cook Inlet as of July 15, according to Fish and Game data, but they have also taken about 1,000 king salmon. Efforts to reduce the harvest of king salmon, while maintaining — or raising — the harvest of

sockeye salmon have kept management biologists busy over the last few weeks. “We’re spinning all the plates,” said Aaron Dupuis, assistant area management biologist in the commercial fishing division of Fish and Game. Dupuis and area management biologist Pat Shields are tasked with managing the commercial fishing fleet to control sockeye escapement. Currently on the central Kenai Peninsula, that means opening the Cook Inlet to drift gillnet fishing and putting two sections of the east side setnet fishery into the water to harvest sockeye salmon bound for the Kenai and Kasilof rivers. However, a no-bait fishing

restriction on the late run of Kenai River king salmon automatically puts a 36-hour per week cap on the number of hours setnet fishers can be in the water, meaning managers must operate within the confines of that hourly restriction while trying to slow sockeye escapement on the Kasilof River. The setnet fishery is split into two sections, commonly called the Kasilof Section and the Kenai and East Forelands sections. One is located south of and closer to the Kasilof River, the other closer to the Kenai River. While the Kasilof section of the setnet fishery has been in the water several times since their

first fishing period in late June, the Kenai section of the setnet fishery opened for the first period during the second week of July and have since been out of the water for a week. Dupuis said keeping the Kenai section of the setnet fishery from fishing was a maneuver designed to avoid harvesting Kenai River-bound king salmon. “We have low numbers of kings and haven’t gotten hit by a big push of Kenai Riverbound sockeye,” Dupuis said. “Our plan was to fish on abundance.” Kasilof River sockeye salmon have continued to pour into the river, despite efforts by See FISH, page A-7

Kodiak community digs in Alutiiq Museum plans annual archaeology dig KODIAK (AP) — The Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak is preparing for its 17th annual community archaeology dig, where nonprofessionals can participate in real research at an actual excavation site. The dig is set to begin Monday and continue until Aug. 8 at the Kashevaroff site, which is among those the museum has excavated in Womens Bay, KMXT reported. Excavation at the site began last year through the Com-

munity Archaeology Project, which started in 1997. The excavation target at the base of Kashevaroff Mountain is believed to be a late prehistoric house as much as 400 years old, according to Amy Steffian, the museum’s director of research and publications. The site predates Russian settlers and also contains evidence of visitation dating back as far as 7,000 years, according to Steffian, who helped start the community project with ar-

chaeologist Patrick Saltonstall. “Around the house we found many large ulus — great big slate cutting knives that are sort of the shape that you would use to split fish,” she said. Half of the house was excavated last year. Steffian said a second room might be located behind a room that was excavated. But she’s not certain there is. AP Photo/Alutiiq Museum “You never know what This August 2013 image shows volunteers working alongside you’re going to find,” she said.

Friends more alike than they think By MALCOLM RITTER AP Science Writer

NEW YORK — You may be more similar to your friends than you think: A study suggests that the DNA code tends to be more alike between friends than between strangers. That’s beyond the effect of shared ethnicity, researchers say. And it could be important for theories about human evolution, says James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego. He and Yale researcher Nicholas Christakis present their results in a paper released Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. How much more alike are friends than strangers? Not much. Imagine the small similarity between fourth cousins, people who share a set of greatgreat-great grandparents.

. . . Dig Continued from page A-1

People can participate Mondays through Fridays in the upcoming dig. An informational meeting and volunteer orientation is set for 7 p.m. Thursday at the museum. Attendance is not mandatory, but the meeting will be an opportunity to get first pick of dates to participate. Only 20 people, including museum staff, can work the dig each day. People who participate can bring rain gear, bug spray, sack lunches and gloves. Every-

How much more alike are friends than strangers? Not much. Imagine the small similarity between fourth cousins, people who share a set of great-great-great grandparents. The study included 1,932 participants in a long-running health study in Framingham, Massachusetts. Researchers knew who was close friends with whom from the 1970s to the early 2000s because of information gathered for the study. From this group they identified 1,367 pairs of close friends and about 1.2 million pairs of strangers. Then they examined information about nearly 467,000 locations in the DNA code of each participant. They looked for how similar the friend pairs were, and comthing else will be provided. Steffian said that after the dig, there will be opportunities for people to learn once artifacts are brought back to the museum. As for the digs themselves, there are few such opportunities for teenagers or the general public, according to Steffian. “When we designed this project we realized that the opportunity to have hands-on experience with prehistory could be really profound for people and could really help people understand not only how Alutiiq folks lived in the past but also the importance of preserving archaeological sites,” she said. recently, however, the resources that could reap hundreds of billions of dollars in revenues were frozen over and unreachable. Kerry also named Alaska’s former lieutenant governor, Fran Ulmer, as a special adviser on Arctic science and policy. Ulmer has chaired the U.S. Arctic Research Commission during the Obama administration.

pared that to how similar the stranger pairs were. The researchers found that genes affecting sense of smell were especially likely to be similar in friends. Why would friends have more DNA similarities than strangers? Fowler said it’s not clear. One possibility is that similar genes nudge people toward similar environments, which then gives them a chance to meet. Another possibility is that people who share certain genes also share skills that become more valuable when the people work together, he said.

This could have been important over evolutionary time, and so set up a pattern that people still follow, he said. Fowler also said it’s not clear whether the finding pertains to groups outside of the Framingham study group, which is overwhelmingly Irish and Italian. In any case, findings of DNA similarities between friends could help explain how behaviors like altruism developed over evolutionary time, he said. Francisco Ayala, who studies evolutionary genetics at the University of California, Irvine, said the study’s results surprised him. But “the statistics are there” to back up the conclusions, he said. Ben Domingue, a researcher at the University of Colorado, Boulder, called the results intriguing. “I am fairly convinced that they are onto something,” he wrote in an email.

UAF starts layoffs amid budget woes

FAIRBANKS (AP) — A reduction in state funding combined with rising fixed costs will force layoffs at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The university said about 40 positions will have to be eliminated to help make up for a $12 million budget deficit. Officials hope not filling open positions will take the brunt of the layoffs, but some pink slips are going out, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Wednesday. The university had little choice since it’s a “service-intensive, people-intensive operation,” said Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services Pat Pitney. The university is instituting across-the-board cuts of 3 percent to 6 percent to all academic units, and that will translate to lost jobs. The university employs about 2,000 people, mostly in Fairbanks. There are about 100 positions that naturally open up every year, and UAF hopes attrition will help the layoff situation. However, Pitney said some reductions will need to be more targeted. “There’s no way we can meet this reduction without 40 or 50 fewer people,” Pitney said. More layoffs may be needed as the budget cuts are finalized. Among positions considered safe are those in growing programs that can’t afford any job losses. Approximately 35 percent of the campus positions are funded by outside grants, which offer a buffer to budget problems. The statewide University of Alaska system also is facing a 4 percent budget cut, which is about $1.4 million. Other campuses in Anchorage and Juneau also are facing reductions. UA spokeswoman Kate Wattum said a review will be conducted of university operations to find places to streamline.

Aldrin poses question on anniversary By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — On July 20, 1969, Buzz Aldrin was “out of town” when the world united and rejoiced in a way never seen before or since. He and Neil Armstrong were on the moon. They missed the whole celebration 45 years ago this Sunday. So did Michael Collins, orbiting solo around the moon in the mother ship. Now, on this Apollo 11 milestone — just five years shy of the golden anniversary — Aldrin is asking everyone to remember where they were when he and Armstrong became the first humans to step onto another heavenly body, and to share their memories online. Too young? You can also share how the moonwalkers inspired you. Celebrities, public figures, and other astronauts and scientists are happily obliging with videos. “What a day that was,” said actor Tom Hanks, sipping from an Apollo 11 commemorative cup. He starred in the 1995 film “Apollo 13,” another gripping moon story. “Going to space is a big deal. Walking on the moon is, literally, walking on the moon,” said singer-songwriter Pharrell Williams, born four years afterward. And from London Mayor Boris Johnson, who watched the event unfold on an a little black-and-white TV at an English farmhouse: “I knew immediately it was the most exciting thing that I’d ever seen. I was

only 5 at the time. And it still is just about the most exciting thing I’ve ever seen.” In all, 12 men explored the moon in six landings through 1972. But that first moonwalk, by Armstrong and Aldrin, is what clinched America’s place as space leader supreme following a string of crushing losses to the Soviet Union, which claimed title to first satellite, first spaceman, first spacewoman and first spacewalker. “U.S. 1, Sputnik nothing,” actor Louis Gossett Jr. said with a laugh in his video. It’s the first big anniversary of man’s first moon landing without Armstrong, whose “one small step ... one giant leap” immortalized the moment. Armstrong, long known for his reticence, died in 2012 at

age 82. As Apollo 11’s commander, Armstrong was first out the lunar module, Eagle, onto the dusty surface of Tranquility Base. Aldrin followed. Collins, now 83, the command module pilot who stayed behind in lunar orbit as the gatekeeper, also spent decades sidestepping the spotlight. He’s making an exception for the 45th anniversary — he plans to take part in a NASA ceremony at Kennedy Space Center on Monday to add Armstrong’s name to the historic Operations and Checkout Building.

says in a YouTube video. “So I spend most of my time traveling the country and the world to remind people what NASA and our space program have accomplished, and what is still in our future at Mars. I feel we need to remind the world about the Apollo missions and that we can still do impossible things. “The whole world celebrated our moon landing. But we missed the whole thing because we were out of town. So now I invite you to share with me — and the world — your story or your family’s story of where you were on July 20th, 1969. Or feel free to tell me how the Apollo missions inspired you.” Aldrin used to keep a little black book to list people’s whereabouts on July 20, 1969. Everyone wanted to share that with him. Now he’s using social media and asking people to post a video to YouTube using the hashtag #Apollo45. And the stories are pouring in. It’s the first major Apollo 11 anniversary— one divisible by five — that actually falls on the days of the week that the events occurred. Liftoff was, indeed, on a Wednesday, Eastern time; the moon landing was on a Sunday, Eastern time. Some of videos urge a return to the moon. President Barack Obama scrapped that idea in 2010 in favor of sending astronauts to an asteroid and then Mars. “From one frontier to another, let’s go back,” Alaska’s lieutenant governor, Mead Treadwell, said in his video.

What Others Say

Can Brazil repeat success with Olympics? Against daunting odds — the slow

Union drama at the opera

The fat lady will sing — but only in strict keeping with the work rules set out by the American Guild of Musical Artists. The Metropolitan Opera has a labor problem. Personnel expenses account for $200 million of the financially struggling Met’s $327 million budget. In the interest of survival in an era more attuned to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” than “Le Nozze di Figaro,” the Met wants to reduce its labor costs by 16 percent by getting the unions to accept common-sensical work rules and less generous pension and health benefits. The unions say no and accuse the Met of waging war on their families. The storied but precarious institution could see its next season disrupted in the labor discord. The Met’s general manager, Peter Gelb, warns that without union flexibility, the very existence of the world-famous, 130-year-old opera is at risk. Well, if worst came to worst, at least the Met’s singers and musicians could make a go of it at the New York City Opera. No, wait, it shut its doors for the last time last year. It doesn’t take an opera aficionado to realize that the 21st century isn’t the 19th, and opera is an embattled art form. Unfortunately, the Met is locking horns with a force, the unions, that has proven adept at helping to drive struggling industries into the ground. A New York Times editorial recently

pace of construction, demonstrations by displaced slum dwellers, long distances, impenetrable traffic and the collapse of one hastily built overpass — Brazil pulled off what is universally and rightly regarded as a successful soccer World Cup. The competition was watched by record crowds worldwide, including a 100 percent increase in U.S. viewership over the last World Cup. It is not too much to say that the fate of the government of President Dilma Rousseff, who faces an election in October, was riding on Brazil being able to pull off a major international sporting event. Then, too, there is the matter of paying the $14 billion-plus cost of hosting the cup, but Brazil is a wealthy nation and, besides, it shares South America’s relaxed attitude about carrying large amounts of debt. Few of the brick-and-mortar benefits from the cup materialized and Brazil, which fancies itself the natural home of soccer, must still deal with the lingering aftereffects of its 7-1 humiliation at the hands of eventual winner Germany. However, there looms on the horizon an even larger event to take Brazilians’ minds off that sporting catastrophe. Brazil will play host to the 2016 Summer Olympics, an event that will dwarf the World Cup in size and cost. Before the World Cup there were riots by Brazilians, who felt the money could be better spent, for example, on schools and housing. Having been deprived of promised civic benefits once, it’s hard to imagine Brazilians exhibiting similar forbearance for the Summer Olympics. Miracles do happen; the fact that Brazil pulled off the World Cup was one, but maybe a second one is too much to ask for.

noted that orchestra members, who on average make $200,000 a year, get 16 weeks off with pay. The American Federation of Musicians Local 802 shot back that it is really only 10 weeks of guaranteed Rich Lowry time off with pay. Touché. Under the current rules, the base pay for chorus members, who also make on average $200,000 a year, covers four performances a week. The members get paid extra for rehearsals — even if they haven’t sung in four performances that week. They also earn overtime for singing in any opera over four hours, which makes Richard Wagner the best thing that ever happened to a Met singer’s paycheck. His “Parsifal” clocks in at five hours, and wasn’t performed last season, in part because of the extra labor costs. Who knew that the Met is not so much an opera house as the artistic equivalent of the fiscally unsustainable, union-dominated state of Illinois? The Met doesn’t need Peter Gelb; it needs Chris Christie. The union case against its nemesis Gelb is that he’s a spendthrift, and there’s something to it. He spent $169,000 this season on a poppy-field set for Alexander Borodin’s “Prince Igor.” Let’s concede that half-

naked people moving dreamily through a fake poppy field is not everyone’s cup of tea. Let’s further concede that spending $169,000 on poppies is extravagant. But the Met’s aggrieved musicians might not have noticed: Opera is an extravagant art form. If they wanted stripped-down and no-nonsense, they could have gone into folk music. Gelb dropped almost $20 million a few years ago on a production of Wagner’s “Ring” cycle so ambitious that more than $1 million had to be spent on reinforcing the stage to support the 45-ton set. If the production underperformed at the box office, it was on a scale worthy of the Met and was funded by a gift. Only unions would complain that an opera manager is spending too much on opera and not enough on overtime pay and pension benefits. Given the head winds in the culture, what the Met accomplishes is extraordinary — more than 200 performances a season, in front of 800,000 people in the house and another couple of million in broadcasts in movie theaters. It is working to preserve a demanding art form that represents one of the high points of Western civilization. It would be a shame for the ages if it were brought low, not just by indifference without, but by shortsighted union grubbiness within.

Classic Doonesbury, 1976

By GARRY TRUDEAU

have run our plumbing and heating business here for 33 years and have been in service to the community. We are honest and hardworking. We bought a homestead property south of Kalifonsky Beach Road in 1999 and more acreage ten years ago. I have excavated well over six miles of trenches throughout the entire property. The shallowest depth at which we encountered water was at nine feet. The water table at our ranch (homestead) was at eleven feet for over twelve years. Right now our water table is at the surface. There is no capacity for more water as the coming rainy season of August, September and October approaches. In essence, if the weather patterns hold true to last year and the year before, we (meaning the whole Kalifonsky Beach community to the south and east of K-Beach Road) are in for major flooding. Last year I hired a professional hydrologist with many years of experience in Alaska. I asked him to come down and explain what was happening and to help us find solutions. We spent a lot of time discussing solutions, and the pros and cons to each. The main solution was to create a ten-foot-wide, two-foot-deep swale on the section line easement described as Seventh Street. This is a section line easement that has very little utilities except for two residential lines at the northern most portion. We are not proposing to drain the wetlands, though we have been accused of this numerous times by borough administrators. What we want to do is redirect the surface water that flooded everyone last year to the inlet, via the beaver ponds at Eider Road. This was the natural drainage for this wetland complex for years and years, until it became plugged and nonfunctional. We do not know what happened to cause the lack of drainage other than natural causes. What we do know is that if nothing is done, more people will flood this year than last year. This drainage that we are proposing should help immensely with the flooding problems experienced on Gaswell Road, the Poppy Lane area and the Murwood Subdivision area. C

the inaction we have experienced will ultimately result in the decimation of hundreds of homes. We believe a class action lawsuit may be the only thing that will motivate this administration into fulfilling their obligations of being in service to the taxpayers. We expect the borough administration to help find and administrate a solution to this problem; one that does not take “six to ten years of planning,” but one that is based on the disaster declared last fall. The land in this area has been developed and lived on for years. Plats and roads have been approved by the borough, taxes have been collected, and residents deserve to have honest and open dialogue with the borough. This legal remedy is not our first choice. This is a last resort due to the unwillingness of the administration to act timely. Why is it that the emergency management department jumped all over the Funny River Fire with all resources available, which incidentally was a good thing and saved a lot of property, but would not react to the flooding problems last year and appears to have the same mindset in regard to the impending flooding this year, which will decimate, as mentioned before, hundreds of homes. Hundreds of trees are dying on borough and private land due to the high water table. Some of these trees are 50-foot white spruce that have never been inundated with this much water. It is time to pull together as a community and fix the problem. Otherwise, communities on KBeach, Gaswell Road, Poppy Lane, Murwood Subdivision, and our neighborhood may suffer significant damage. If the borough cannot help, then why are we paying taxes for emergency management? We are looking for positive solutions that will help everyone. If you have one, please get in touch with me. We have offered solutions. If the borough has a better plan, we would appreciate hearing from them. We have about one and one half months to act. Please help yourselves and your neighbors and push for a solution. It will only be by the grace of God and positive solutions that we will overcome these problems.

A partial solution to flooding in other areas is installing culverts at the correct grade on Patrick, Eastway, Buoy, Karluk, Boretide, Ebbtide (to only name a few) and numerous driveways throughout the area that have no culverts, which are required by borough statutes. We excavated with a borough permit, during last fall’s flooding, from the gas lines to the east end of Trawling Street last fall. This ditch moved tens of millions of gallons, if not hundreds of millions of gallons, of water away from residential neighborhoods. This ditch needs to be enlarged and maintained. An example of another partial solution to the problem is looking at Buoy Street drainage. The grade of Buoy Street from the east end to K-Beach Road is approximately 9.84 feet which equates from 0.14 percent grade. There is plenty of grade for water to flow if the ditches were maintained. We believe it is in the best interest of the borough that a drainage engineer be hired to help facilitate drainage in all areas affected by the flooding. The Borough administration has stated that this is not a man-made problem but when we have asked for assistance, we have been met with nothing but resistance. This may be a second class borough but I think the people who live here are first class. We deserve to be treated fairly and with honesty. We are not interested in throwing stones and pointing fingers. We are interested in finding solutions. I offered to dig the Seventh Street ditch last year to prevent flooding. My offer was rejected. I tried to warn people of the impending flood, but for the most part was met with disbelief or confusion. I did not file a lawsuit against the borDave Yragui lives in the Kalifornsky ough.

possible downsides

To blunt the rise of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, a combined company would have more power to withhold content or demand steeper licensing fees. That, in turn, could force streaming services to raise subscription prices. And further consolidation puts more media voices under the control of one entity. That’s why Fox, which operates the lucrative Fox News Channel, is willing to sell Time Warner’s CNN, according to one person familiar with the matter. That person spoke on condition of anonymity because that deal point wasn’t officially made public. It’s unclear how regulators would view so many pay TV channels being owned by the same company.

And it’s not over yet DiClemente and Janney analyst Tony Wible both believe that with interest rates low and with Fox having a healthy balance sheet, Fox could raise its bid above $100 per share by borrowing more money. It also could set off interest by other bidders for Time Warner, which in turn could set off other mergers among content companies that don’t want to be left out. “It’s a chain reaction,” Wible said. “There will be more consolidation on the content side.” Crockett agreed. “I think what this is, is ‘Game on.’”

The Duluth-based company will install the technology to help settle allegations that it violated the federal Clean Air Act by failing to get permits and installing less-than-best pollution control technology at its plants, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice said. The deal also calls for Minnesota Power to pay a $1.4 million penalty to resolve Clean Air Act violations and spend at least $4.2 million on environmental projects benefiting local communities. The state of Minnesota will receive $200,000 of the penalty. “Today’s settlement will require system-wide controls to reduce harmful air pollution and will benefit Minnesota residents today and for years to come,” Sam Hirsch, acting assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division, said in a news release. “This innovative agreement will also fund projects that contribute to renewable energy production and restore valuable wetland habitat.” The air pollution control technology will be installed at plants in Cohasset, Hoyt Lakes and Schroeder. The agencies say it is estimated to cost more than $500 million.

Chambers set schedules

LOS ANGELES — Even though Rupert Murdoch’s $76 billion bid for rival media giant Time Warner Inc. has been rejected, that doesn’t mean how you watch TV shows and movies will stop changing any time soon. The cash-and-stock bid by Murdoch’s Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. was partly meant to counter consolidation among TV distributors like Comcast-Time Warner Cable and AT&T-DirecTV. The more must-have channels like HBO and Fox News Channel are assembled under one company, the stronger that company’s bargaining position in demanding licensing fees from the TV distributors, no matter how big they get. Time Warner also owns TV channels CNN, TNT and TBS, along with the Warner Bros. movie studio, which includes Batman, Superman and Harry Potter. Fox owns the 20th Century Fox movie studio, the Fox broadcast network and such TV channels as Fox News and FX. Much of the value is in the television channels because of the ever-increasing fees they are able to command from cable and satellite TV providers. Disputes over such fees have led to temporary blackouts of popular channels from various systems. The Comcast-Time Warner Cable and AT&T-DirecTV deals are both undergoing regulatory review. In disclosing the rejected bid Wednesday, Time Warner and Fox indicated that their talks were over, but analysts don’t expect Murdoch to give up. The offer was worth about $86.30 a share based on Tuesday’s closing price. If talks resume and a takeover succeeds, analysts see some possible consumer benefits.

Minnesota Power, a utility division of publicly traded ALLETE Inc., said the settlement does not include any admission of wrongdoing by the company. “The company has been in discussions with the EPA since 2008 to settle this matter to avoid costly litigation, in the best interest of our customers and other stakeholders,” ALLETE senior vice president, general counsel and secretary Deb Amberg said

in a statement. Among projects under the settlement that Minnesota Power intends to fund are $2 million for a large-scale solar installation system for the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and $200,000 to the National Park Service to restore wetlands at Voyageurs National Park. Other possible projects include a forest restoration project, an electric

car charging station in northeastern Minnesota, clean diesel programs and upgrading wood-burning appliances to reduce pollution. The settlement must be approved by a federal judge in Minnesota after a 30-day comment period. Minnesota Power provides electricity to 144,000 customers and 16 municipalities in northeastern Minnesota.

Seattle taxi drivers attend charm school SEATTLE (AP) — Some Seattle-area taxi drivers are trying charm school as a way to improve their customer service and fight off competition from other ride services. KOMO-TV reports about 130 drivers from Yellow Cab sat in a classroom Tuesday to listen to hospitality management instructors from South Seattle College. The four-hour program focused on connecting with customers, leaving a good impression and dealing with complaints productively. One of the region’s major cab companies, Yellow Cab, asked the college to design the class in response to competition from smartphone app ride services like Uber and Lyft. Cabbie Paul Cheema says he and his fellow drivers want to show customers they’re trying to make a change in the industry. The class costs $60. Another is scheduled for Thursday, with more planned if reviews are favorable.

Egypt sentences 7 to life for sexual assaults By SARAH EL DEEB Associated Press

CAIRO — An Egyptian court sentenced seven men to life in prison on Wednesday for sexual assaults on women during public rallies in Cairo’s iconic Tahrir Square, in the first such heavy sentences since the government vowed to crack down on rampant sexual violence. Sexual harassment has long been a problem in Egypt, but assaults have become more frequent and brutal since the 2011 overthrow of longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak, with frenzied mobs targeting women who take part in political gatherings. The charges stemmed from four different incidents of sexual assault this year and last year, including during celebrations of the inauguration of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi in June. Videos of the brutal attacks posted online caused a public outcry, and pushed the new leader to make the highest profile condemnation of the escalating phenomenon and order a crackdown on perpetrators. A week later, 13 suspects were sent to trial in a speedy referral aimed at sending a message of deterrence. “This is the first verdict in a case of sexual assault in the history of this country,” said Mozn Hassan, director of Nazra for Feminist Studies, which provides legal representation for victims. “This could open the door for ending impunity in such cases.”

The sentencing session was aired live on TV, indicating the government hoped it would serve as a deterrent. Judge Mohammed el-Fiqqi sentenced the seven men to life in prison, with four of them receiving multiple life sentences. An eighth defendant received two 20-year jail sentences and a ninth received a single 20-year sentence. The five were given multiple sentences after being found guilty of taking part in more than one attack. Hassan said she hoped the verdicts were not the last, and that authorities would investigate the 500 cases of sexual violence in Tahrir Square since 2011 that her center has documented. Sexual violence is often unreported, particularly in conservative countries like Egypt, because women are ashamed to come forward, and where it is hard to identify perpetrators during the attacks by dozens of men. Scenes of women being attacked by frenzied mobs have sullied political rallies in the square made famous by the revolt that toppled Mubarak. Activists have organized volunteer groups to protect women, and many of the volunteers have also come under attack. The various charges against the defendants ranged from attempted rape, kidnapping and assault to torture and attempted murder in the four incidents. The maximum possible sentence was life in prison. Hassan said three of the assaults occurred in different parts of Tahrir Square on June

8, the day of el-Sissi’s inauguration. The fourth dates back to a rally in Tahrir in January 2013. In each of the June 8 attacks, women said the mob encircled them, used sharp objects to tear their clothes off -- in some cases leading to vaginal and breast wounds -- and beat them with belts. Some of the victims had belt marks on their faces, bruises and dislocated shoulders. Hassan said another 10 cases from that day have not yet been sent to trial, including one in which a woman required 13 stitches in her vagina. Two other women suffered from severe burns after their attackers pushed them into vats of boiling water set up on tea-maker stalls. She said the cases have not yet been moved to court because the severity of the injuries delayed further investigation. For the case ruled upon Wednesday, the women were asked before the referral to trial to identify the attackers from a police lineup. Some of the women passed out while others went into fits of hysteria upon seeing the suspects. One woman suffered temporary paralysis. The defendants were to be placed on surveillance for five years once they finish their sentences. They were also ordered to pay compensation. The sentences can be appealed. Hassan said the harsh sentences are not enough, though, to combat the widespread phenomenon. She wants the legal

definition of rape expanded to include penetration with any body part or object without consent. The current law doesn’t define rape, and refers to “indecent violation,” a vague term with a moral connotation in Arabic. “We have been campaigning not for toughening the sentences, but for changing the philosophy and definition,” Hassan said. “It is about shaming. You should shame for the right thing.” Hassan’s group has also asked a government fact-finding commission to investigate allegations by activists and other rights groups that sexual violence is deliberately used to clear protesters from public squares. Such allegations have surfaced throughout Egypt’s troubled transition, regardless of who was in power. Police reluctance to enter the square during political rallies has fed the suspicions. In one of his last decisions before stepping down in June, Adly Mansour, Egypt’s interim president and el-Sissi’s predecessor, decreed sexual harassment a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. The decree amended the country’s existing laws, which did not criminalize sexual harassment. Those found guilty of harassment face six months to five years in prison, with harsher sentences reserved for offenders holding a position of power over their victims, such as being a woman’s superior at work or being armed.

UK man gets more than 12 years for Taliban support By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN Associated Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A British citizen was sentenced Wednesday to more than 12 years in prison by a judge who said he supported the Taliban regime in Afghanistan while it was protecting Osama bin Laden. Judge Janet Hall sentenced Babar Ahmad to 12 years and six months but gave him credit for the 10 years he already served. Hall said Ahmad helped enable bin Laden to be protected when he was plotting the Sept. 11 attacks by supporting the Taliban. But she said Ahmad had no knowledge of the plot and there was no evidence he supported bin Laden’s alQaida terrorist group. “You can’t walk away from the fact that what you were doing was enabling bin Laden to be protected in Afghanistan and

to train the men who actually boarded the flights that drove into the Pentagon and World Trade Center,” Hall said. She imposed a much lower sentence that the 25 years sought by prosecutors, rejecting their claim that he posed a high risk of recidivism. She also rejected testimony from a government cooperating witness that Ahmad had traveled to Afghanistan. The case did not involve participation in acts of terrorism, and Ahmad showed no interest in doing so even after receiving a document detailing the movements and vulnerabilities of a U.S. Navy battle group, Hall said. Ahmad pleaded guilty in December to supporting terrorists through websites that sought to raise cash, recruit fighters and solicit items such as gas masks for the Taliban. Ahmad’s attorney has said

he publicly condemned the Sept. 11 attacks and deeply regrets his support for the Taliban. Ahmad says he tried to help Muslims under attack in Bosnia and Chechnya, recalling atrocities he learned about while in Bosnia. Hall and a prosecutor said his support for the Taliban continued after the Sept. 11 attacks. Ahmad told the judge he supported the Taliban because it was under attack, not because he supported bin Laden or AlQaida. He said he was stupid to believe bin Laden’s denials of involvement in earlier terrorist acts. He said he has read books about pacifist leader Mohandas K. Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi, and others while in prison and that talks can resolve differences. “Not every conflict in the world is Bosnia,” Ahmad said. “The world is complicated.”

U.S. Attorney Deirdre Daly called it a significant sentence. “We say that this is a warning to all those that support terrorism that the government will not stop at making sure that people who support terrorism will be stopped and brought to justice,” Daly said. A co-defendant, Syed Talha Ahsan, was sentenced Wednesday to time already served of about eight years. Prosecutors say Ashan processed orders for videos that promoted violent jihad and attended a training camp in Afghanistan, but his attorney said he had a peripheral involvement in the case and the military training was for selfdefense. The two men, who were extradited from Britain in 2012, faced charges in Connecticut because authorities said they used an Internet service provider in the state to run one of the websites.

Around the World In crowded Gaza, civilians urged by Israel to leave homes often have nowhere to go GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The text message was as urgent as it was unwelcome: The Israeli army advised Mouin Ghaffir to leave his home quickly or risk being killed in airstrikes against Hamas rocket squads. He swiftly sent his wife and 11 children to a dirty U.N. emergency shelter, with more than 40 people crammed in each classroom, but had to endure a night under bombardment at home after failing to find a safe place for his ailing 75-year-old mother. Such is the life-and-death predicament of tens of thousands of Gazans being told by Israel to flee targeted areas, most with nowhere to go. U.N. shelters lack the space, and relatives, with their own overcrowded homes, often cannot help. Israel says urging residents to evacuate — with warnings delivered through automated calls, text messages and leaflets dropped from planes — is part of the military’s attempt to spare civilians whenever possible. It holds Hamas responsible for the ordeal of Gaza’s 1.7 million people, saying Hamas fighters fire rockets toward Israel from residential areas, effectively using civilians as human shields.

Loss or gain? Democrats reach for political advantage with women in birth control setback WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats suffered what looked like a difficult setback on birth control Wednesday, but they hope it pays big political dividends in November. Republicans blocked a bill that was designed to override a Supreme Court ruling and ensure access to contraception for women who get their health insurance from companies with religious objections. The vote was 56-43 to move ahead on the legislation — dubbed the “Not My Boss’ Business Act” by proponents — four short of the 60 necessary to proceed. But Democrats hope the issue has enough life to energize female voters in the fall, when Republicans are threatening to take control of the Senate. GOP senators said Wednesday’s vote was simply a stunt, political messaging designed to boost vulnerable Democratic incumbents. The GOP needs to gain six seats to seize control. “Democrats are just trying to win an election,” Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said bluntly.

US escalating economic sanctions against Russia in response to crisis in Ukraine WASHINGTON — The United States imposed new sanctions Wednesday on lucrative Russian energy and defense entities, as well as major banks, as the Obama administration struggles for a way to quell an insurgency in eastern Ukraine widely believed to be backed by Moscow. The penalties significantly expand on previous U.S. sanctions, which hit Russian individuals and companies with travel bans and asset freezes. But the new sanctions stop short of fully cutting off key Russian economic sectors, a step U.S. officials said they were continuing to hold in reserve in case Moscow launches a full-scale invasion of Ukraine or takes similarly provocative actions. The Treasury Department sanctions target two major Russian energy firms, Novatek and Rosneft, and a pair of leading Russian financial institutions, Gazprombank and VEB. The sanctions restrict the entities’ ability to access U.S. capital markets, officials said.

Texas woman gets 18 years in prison for sending ricin-laced letters to Obama, Bloomberg TEXARKANA, Texas — A Texas actress who tried to blame her husband after sending ricin-laced letters to officials including President Barack Obama was sentenced Wednesday to 18 years in prison.

Another was issued a misdemeanor for falsification of an application for a commercial crewmember license. During a traffic stop on July 12, wildlife troopers discovered Andrew Nelson, 33, of Kenai, did not qualify as a resident, despite having a resident commercial fishing crewmember license. To deal with the influx of visitors to Kenai for the personaluse fishery, Kenai police have added six temporary officers who have helped enforce codes and provide information for people on the north and south beach and at Kenai harbor. Sgt. Scott McBride with the Kenai Police Department said the biggest issues officers have dealt with has been parking and letting people know their passes expire at midnight. Day use parking costs $20 while overnight parking is $45 and valid from noon to noon the following day. “People have been calm and behaving themselves for the most part,” McBride said. Kenai City Manager Rick Koch said the police department has done a good job informing dipnetters of code changes like the no-wake zone area during high tide and no camping in front of privately owned land on south beach. Since parking has been closed in Old Town, he said that area is much more pleasant. “The critical part of the fishery is getting through the first week because the high and low tide has been a challenge for everybody,” Koch said. “At low tide the boat launch is closed and at high tide people can’t camp anywhere on the beach without getting wet.” As the Kenai River personal-use fishery enters the second weekend, Koch said dipnetters are waiting for when the salmon run jumps from 80,000 to 200,000. “We have a lot of people down here ready and waiting,” he said. “Nobody wants to miss it.”

Just over 3,000 late-run king salmon have made it upriver through July 14 while more than 260,000 late-run sockeye have made it into the river, according to Fish and Game data. The early run of Kenai River king salmon, which ended July 31, was originally forecasted for a 2,230 fish return, well below the escapement goal range of 5,300-9,000 fish. While Fish and Game Sportfish Area Management Biologist Robert Begich said in January that he would consider keeping catch-and-release fishing on the early run — a practice which Fish and Game estimates causes about 8 percent of the hooked king salmon to die — managers ultimately decided to take a more conservative approach and announced in February that they would close the early run to king salmon fishing altogether. It was the first time since 1965 that Fish and Game had announced a pre-season closure of fishing for Kenai River early run king salmon. Ultimately, 5,311 king salmon were estimated to have passed the sonar during the early run, or 12 fish above the lower boundary of the river’s escapement goal. Despite the higher-than-expected return of early-run king salmon, a forecast of about 19,700 late run king salmon — less than half of the average total run for over the last 27 years — caused managers to prohibit the use of bait for king salmon fishing on the Kenai River for the entirety of the late run. No-bait fishing is the first of a series of “step down” measures managers have used in previous fishing seasons to restrict sportfishing for king salmon and reduce the potential for an angler to successfully catch one. If managers were to follow the pattern used in previous years, the next fishing restriction would be to prohibit anglers from keeping king salmon caught in the river, or catch-and-release fishing. With about 25 percent of the late run of Kenai River king salmon in the river, biologists are estimating that 3,208 king salmon have made it up the river past the sonar. If those numbers remain steady, managers could

see just over 12,000 kings make it past the sonar — well below the river’s king salmon escapement goal of 15,000-30,000 fish. “Further restrictions are going to occur in the sport fishery,” Begich said. Begich said those restrictions would occur within the next few days, but would not confirm what the restrictions would entail. According to Fish and Game’s online inseason run summary, updated Tuesday, if significant improvement of the king salmon run does not occur within the next few days, the king salmon sport fishery will be restricted to catch-and-release fishing “effective late this week.”

creases the risk of something happening to cause the fish stock to produce lower runs. A commercial fishing emergency order released Wednesday opens the Kasilof River Special Harvest Area. Commercial area managers must use emergency orders to open the east side setnet fishery as it loses any regularly scheduled periods during times of low king salmon abundance under a revised management plan passed by the Board of Fisheries in February. Setnetters may only be put into the water via emergency order at this time. The special harvest area is designed to concentrate commercial fishing on the mouth of the Kasilof River and requires that any commercial setnet fishing on the east side of the Cook Inlet take place within a two-mile area around the mouth of the river. While it is technically possible to pack the 450 setnet permit holders in the Cook Inlet into that area — as there are no restrictions on how far apart the nets have to be, the fishery can be chaotic, Shields said in an April interview. In addition, the drift fleet and several hundred personaluse dipnetters are also allowed to fish in the area. It’s a relatively new tool for managers to use as a king salmon conservation method. While the special harvest area has been in place since 1986, the first time managers used it to keep setnet fishers off of Kenai River king salmon was during the 2013 fishing season. Fishing in the special harvest area does not count toward restrictions on fishing time available to the setnet fishery according to its management plan and Shields said it would likely be used again before the end of July. Dupuis said managers would have to judiciously use their available hours outside of the special harvest area and would likely not be fishing setnetters outside of that area again this week. “We want to save some bullets in our chamber for when the Kenai (River) reds hit the beach,” he said.

In the east side setnet fishery, catch-and-release fishing on the Kenai River triggers a reduction to 12 hours of fishing time per week — a number commercial managers said would further complicate efforts to keep the Kasilof River from exceeding its escapement goal. Mark Willette, fisheries biologist and research project leader in the commercial fishing division of Fish and Game, estimated that users would have to harvest between 62-81 percent of the Kasilof River sockeye salmon run to keep it within its escapement goal range this season. According to Fish and Game harvest data the commercial fishermen in the inlet have harvested an average of 58 percent of the Kasilof sockeye salmon run over the last 10 years. It’s a range of harvest that commercial managers said would be difficult to reach. Dupuis called an 81 percent harvest rate “astronomical.” “Even at 36 hours of fishing time, we feel quite strongly that we will likely not make the escapement goal,” Shields said. Keeping Kasilof sockeye salmon escapement within the goal range has proven difficult for managers over the past decade. Shields said it had been exceeded six times since 2004.

Bucs take rubber game from Oilers By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Between inconsistent pitching and lean batting, the Peninsula Oilers simply could not get anything going against the Anchorage Bucs on Wednesday night at Coral Seymour Memorial Park. The Oilers dropped the rubber match of a five-game series 4-2 and are now 2-12 in their last 14 contests, dating back to July 5. The loss leaves them with a 9-16 American League division record in the Alaska Baseball League, seven games behind the Alaska Gold-

panners of Fairbanks (13-6). The win was huge for the Bucs (1710), who are now tied for the lead in the American League with the Panners. “Coming here and getting the series is pretty big,” said Bucs coach Tony Cappuccilli. “It keeps us there, and the tough part is (Fairbanks has) had some rainouts that they’re supposed to make up, and it looks like they’re not gonna have to based on the league’s decision. “We’re gonna have to go out and play our best baseball and try to control our own destiny.” Trevor Lacosse received the win on

the mound for Anchorage, going five innings and giving up two runs (none earned) on five hits, four walks and six strikeouts. Lacosse lowered his ERA to 2.02 with the performance, good for second in the ABL. “He honestly didn’t have his stuff, and he’s been sharper than that,” Cappuccilli said. “He battled through it and wasn’t giving up hard-hit balls, so he set the tone by battling through without having his best stuff.” Nick Rogowski (1-3) recorded the loss for the Oilers, tossing 126 pitches for the night in seven innings of work,

giving up four runs on six hits, seven walks and four strikeouts. Early base-running mistakes cost both teams, as the Oilers shortstop Mylz Jones was caught stealing home on a muffed pitch that never made it far off base, and the Bucs saw two runners tagged out on separate attempts to steal second. Jones made up for his out with a few big plays on field, including a long throw to first in the top of the eighth that ended the inning. After giving up two runs in the sec-

HOYLAKE, England — Even when he’s not the favorite, Tiger Woods is still the show at the British Open. Woods earned that attention by piling up majors at a faster rate than anyone in history, and the attention is just as great now because his recent past includes back surgery and his immediate future is more uncertain than ever. ESPN plans to show his entire round online Thursday. Not to be overlooked at golf’s oldest championship, however, is a new generation of stars. Rickie Fowler and Harris English will be playing ahead of him. Two groups behind will be Jordan Spieth and Hideki Matsuyama. They are among

25 players who share a bond that speaks to the state of golf. Woods has never won a major during their professional careers. Yes, they saw his dominance on TV. They just never experienced it. They were not around for the decade when Woods won majors with regularity, sometimes by a record score, sometimes by a record margin. They missed the days that were so Tiger-centric a player couldn’t get through an interview without being asked something about Woods. “Tiger ruined a lot of guys’ lives,” Charles Howell III, a longtime friend of Woods who lived through those times, said earlier in the year. “He caused a lot of people some sleepless Sunday nights.

Talansky shows grit at Tour Durant, Rousey JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press

OYONNAX, France — Sitting on a roadside guard rail, wincing and rubbing his lower back, Andrew Talansky looked ready to quit the Tour de France in the middle of Stage 11. The Tour’s Web site and French TV commentators said his race was over. So did some English-language Twitterati. The “Pit Bull” proved them wrong. With a show of tooth-grinding grit and determination to repay his Garmin Sharp teammates who had ridden hard to help him, the 25-year-old Miami native got back up on his bike, wiped his eyes and pedaled on to the finish far behind the pack — and just in time. Two days earlier, the pain and damage from two recent crashes had already ended Ta-

lansky’s outsider hopes of victory. He began Wednesday’s 187.5-kilometer (116.3-mile) hilly ride from Besancon to Oyonnax in eastern France in 26th place — nearly 15 minutes behind race leader Vincenzo Nibali. The Italian retained the yellow jersey Wednesday by finishing right behind France’s Tony Gallopin, who won Stage 11 in a bold late breakaway. Talansky, nursing a sore back, had bad luck compound his misery early in the stage: He blew a tire and got left behind. Because he was no longer in contention to win the Tour in Paris on July 27, his teammates didn’t wait up. Straining, he couldn’t make up the difference alone, but pressed on anyway. When Talansky, clearly in agony, stopped on a roadside and sat down with about 60 kilometers left, Garmin-Sharp

sporting director Robert Hunter — who as a rider became the first South African to win a Tour stage — and other two other staffers pulled up in a team car. “He thought that maybe it was time to stop the Tour. He sat down ... thought about it, and decided to continue,” said Hunter. “If he wants to fight on and get to the finish, the only way we’re going to get there is by fighting. That’s his character and the way the team works as well.” Hunter continued to pour on encouragement from the car as Talansky resumed riding. Under race rules, Talansky — who would’ve liked to be a journalist if not a cyclist — faced a deadline: Because it was a hilly, relatively long stage, he had to finish with a time no more than 14 percent greater than that of Gallopin.

It added up to roughly 37 minutes, race officials said. He finished 32:05 back, with a 20-second penalty for taking too long a pause. Other riders might have calculated that it would be wiser not to risk worsening an injury so early in a promising career. But Talansky was running on determination, and wanted to make it through the stage. “I just wanted to make it to the finish ... for my team and the work that they’ve put into this Tour for me,” he said at the team bus after straggling to the finish. “I didn’t just want to stop and go home that way after everything they’ve done for me.” Talansky was the last of the 179 remaining riders in a pack already depleted of its two biggest stars to crashes. Now, he’s 44th in the overall standings — more than 47 minutes

LOS ANGELES — Kevin Durant won two ESPY Awards, including male athlete of the year, and mixed martial arts star Ronda Rousey earned female athlete honors, becoming the first UFC fighter to claim a trophy in the biggest category at the show honoring the year’s best performances Wednesday night. Durant also won best NBA player, ending LeBron James’ two-year reign in both categories. “Everybody helped me out along the way,” the Oklahoma City Thunder star said. “My beautiful mom watching at home who couldn’t be here. My favorite teammate, Russell

Westbrook.” Durant beat out fellow male athlete nominees Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers, Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos and boxer Floyd Mayweather during the show hosted by rapper Drake at the Nokia Theatre. Rousey, the first female UFC champion, won over WNBA star Maya Moore, Olympic champion skier Mikaela Shiffrin and Brenna Stewart of national champion Connecticut. The winners in most categories were determined by fan voting. Rousey didn’t attend, with presenter Chrissy Teigen saying the fighter had surgery a day earlier. Manning didn’t go home See ESPY, Page A-9

tivated an entire generation behind him.” Howell’s point was that while the next generation might have been in awe of Woods, being outside the arena allowed them to study him without getting scarred. They learned from the way he worked. They were more prepared than the generation before them. The talk at this British Open is that it is more open than ever. But then, that’s been the case since Woods won his last major six years ago. Since that 2008 U.S. Open, 19 players have won majors, and no one has won more than two. In the 24 majors leading up to his last major, Woods won six, Phil Mickelson won three and no one else won more than one. “Looking at the different amount of winners in the last five years at the major championships, we’re seeing so many players win,” Henrik Stenson said Wednesday. It’s so competitive. At some point there might have been 20 guys battling out for it. And now it feels like anyone in the field can win if they have a great week. So it’s definitely tighter.” Stenson, No. 2 in the world and among the favorites this week, will be playing alongside Woods for the opening two days. “He’s just one of the guys I need to beat if I want to do well this week,” Stenson said. “But it’s a good start if you know

ond inning, the Oilers came back to tie the game up in the bottom of the fourth, starting with a double from Josh Rose that bounced off the centerfield wall. Jones followed that up with a center-field single that just made it through the Anchorage defense to score AJ Hernandez. The crucial point came in the top of the fifth, with Rogowski on the mound. The inning started with a scary incident that saw Bucs batter Cade Reiten beaned in the side of his head and collapse to the dirt. Reiten stayed down for over a minute clutching his head, eventually sat up and then walked gingerly off the field. Cappuccilli said Reiten was taken to the hospital for precautionary scans but is otherwise OK. From there, Mark Krueger and Evan Powell both drew walks to load the bases with two outs. Grant Palmer followed up with a single past second baseman AJ Hernandez that brought Dylan Butler in to score the goahead run. In the bottom of the ninth, Jones came up clutch again, sending a double to left field with

you can beat him.” Woods is playing his first major of the year because of March 31 back surgery. Returning to Royal Liverpool was always the target — he won his third claret jug on these links in 2006 when it was brown and fast, not green and slower as it is this year. Woods came back sooner than he expected, missing the cut at Congressional three weeks ago in what had the feeling of a 36-hole rehab assignment. He feels healthy. He feels strong. And he still commands a presence. That much was clear when Woods played only two holes Wednesday as spectators scrambled for a view. He brings energy and excitement to a golf tournament. Does he bring intimidation? The Open is his next opportunity to see if he can regain the mystique that a younger generation has yet to experience. Matt Kuchar, who played a practice round with Woods on Sunday, doesn’t think it will take much. He’s not sure Woods ever lost it. “The kids today grew up idolizing him,” Kuchar said. “He gets back on form again, I don’t think that intimidation factor is gone at all. These are the kids that grew up watching him and wanting to be him.” Kuchar said it can be intimidating to play alongside, although Patrick Reed sure wasn’t flustered having Woods in the group ahead of him at Doral, and Spieth didn’t looked rattled when he shot 63 at Torrey Pines (the North Course) with Woods in his group.

Jones joins James with Cavs By The Associated Press

The Cleveland Cavaliers are moving quickly to surround LeBron James with shooters, and it probably helps that James knows exactly what he’s getting. A day after the Cavs locked up James’ buddy and former teammate Mike Miller, they agreed to terms with Miami Heat free agent James Jones on a one-year, veteran-minimum contract, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Jones, who spent the previous four seasons playing with James in Miami, will earn $1.4 million next season. The person requested anonymity because an official announcement has not been made. Jones spent the past six of his 11 NBA seasons in Miami. Last year Jones shot a careerhigh 46 percent on 3-pointers, but only appeared in 20 games. He hasn’t been a regular contributor since averaging 19.1 minutes in 81 games for the Heat in 2010-11, James’ first season in Miami. He will turn 34 in October, but formed a solid relationship with James while with the Heat. He joins Miller, who agreed to a two-year deal on Tuesday, as former James teammates that are following him to Cleveland. Miller’s departure from Miami before last season didn’t sit well with James, and the vet-

Manning won his fifth MVP award last season, when he set single-season records by passing for 55 touchdowns and more than 5,500 yards. The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks won best team. Their All-Pro cornerback, Richard Sherman, won breakthrough athlete. The best game was the Iron Bowl matchup between No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Auburn, with the Tigers winning 34-28 on the final play to spoil the Tide’s BCS hopes. Led by goalie Tim Howard, the U.S. men’s soccer team won best moment for its run to the round of 16 in the World Cup. Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal won best international athlete. Drake zinged Howard and Sherman in his opening monologue. The rapper joked about banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, saying, “We’re a few hundred yards from Staples Center, which is as close as Donald

Pacquiao to fight in China Manny Pacquiao will return to China for his next fight, taking on Chris Algieri in the gambling enclave of Macau. The scheduled Nov. 22 fight for a piece of the welterweight title held by Pacquiao comes a year after the Filipino headlined the first big fight card there with a win over Brandon Rios. Promoter Bob Arum said Pacquiao will likely fight at least once a year in Macau the rest of his career. “It’s almost like fighting at home so it’s a major advantage for Manny,” Arum said. “Plus if he fights in Macau he’s not subject to U.S. income taxes, which are 39.5 percent.” Arum said the fight won’t sell as well on pay-per-view in the U.S. as it would if it was in Las Vegas, but that will be offset by lower taxes on Pacquiao’s purse and a bigger site fee from the Venetian hotel-casino. He said plans are also in place to sell the fight on TV in China, where Pacquiao is becoming better known.

The 6-foot-7 Blair averaged 6.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in 78 games in his only season with Dallas. He spent his first four seasons with San Antonio and has career averages of 7.5 points and 5.6 rebounds. Dallas obtained the rights to Emir Preldzic in Tuesday’s trade. The 6-9 Preldzic was selected by Phoenix with the 57th overall pick in the 2009 draft. ey

Pacers fill void with Stuck-

LAS VEGAS — The Indiana Pacers blew Lance Stephenson a kiss goodbye and jumped on Rodney Stuckey to fill the void. The Pacers agreed to terms with Stuckey on a one-year deal Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. The deal comes one day after the Charlotte Hornets swooped in to land Stephenson, the wildcard guard who dazzled with his versatility and infuriated with his after-the-whistle antics. Sterling is allowed to get.” Clippers star Blake Griffin laughed until the camera caught him and he acted serious, drawing laughs. Griffin and Drake teamed up for a funny pretaped bit in which they pretended to be each other while spewing insults, with rapper Chris Brown joining in. Brown, who has been in and out of jail, jokingly introduced himself as “America’s sweetheart.” James wasn’t on hand, but Drake noted the superstar’s recent decision to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers after winning two NBA titles in Miami. “You know what 40 million gets you in Miami? A really nice house,” Drake said. “You know what 40 million gets you in Cleveland? Cleveland, you get the whole thing.” Drake mixed in song, too. He crooned “Honorable Mention,” a tune he said was dedicated to the runner-ups, including Triple Crown loser California Chrome and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. Lil’ Wayne cracked up as Drake sang “Side Pieces,” full of references to the on-theroad cheating that goes on in sports. Drake noted a lot of men in the audience wanted the song to be over.

EASTERN CONFERENCE

NEW YORK — Clint Dempsey and DeAndre Yedlin of the Seattle Sounders are among a group of eight players from the U.S. World Cup team voted to the MLS All-Star game. On Wednesday night, Major League Soccer announced the result of the fan vote. The game against Bayern Munich is scheduled for Aug. 6 in Portland, Oregon. Sporting Kansas City’s Matt Besler and Graham Zusi, Real Salt Lake’s Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando, Omar Gonzalez of the Los Angeles Galaxy and Toronto FC’s Michael Bradley also represented the U.S. in Brazil and were voted to the MLS team. The U.S. lost 2-1 to Belgium in the World Cup’s round of 16 on July 1. Galaxy forward Landon Donovan, who played for the United States in the previous three World Cups but was cut from this year’s team, also made it. Forwards Thierry Henry of the New York Red Bulls and Obafemi Martins of the Seattle Sounders round out the Fan XI. The winners of the fan vote are not necessarily the starters for the game. All-Star coach Caleb Porter of the Timbers will choose the rest of his game-day roster on Saturday, and the final list of 32 All Stars will be announced on MLSsoccer.com on the day of the game.

NBA R oundup

Terms of the deal, which was first reported by USA Today, were not immediately available. The person requested anonymity because an official announcement has not been made. Stephenson was one of the Pacers’ best offensive players on a team that often struggled to put the ball in the basket. He gained All-Star consideration while averaging 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists in a breakout year. But he also showed flashes of erratic behavior, most notably when he blew into LeBron James’ ear during the Eastern Conference finals. Charlotte landed him with a three-year, $27 million contract after the Pacers couldn’t close the deal with him, so Indiana moved quickly to address the loss. Stuckey averaged 13.9 points last season, his seventh season with the Detroit Pistons. He was once viewed as a promising building block for the Pistons, and he averaged 16.6 points and 4.8 assists in 200910. Davis gives Lakers another athletic big man LAS VEGAS — Ed Davis is on his way to the Los Angeles Lakers, giving the changing Lakers frontcourt another athletic big man and Davis another chance to show what he can do. Davis agreed to a two-year, $2 million deal with the Lakers on Wednesday night, a person

with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person requested anonymity because an official announcement has not been made. The deal includes a player option for the second season, giving him the chance to get back on the market quickly if things go well. Toronto made Davis the 13th overall pick in 2010, hoping the forward would add a dynamic element to its frontcourt. He showed real flashes early on in his career, averaging 7.7 points and 7.1 rebounds in under 25 minutes per game during his rookie season. Two years later, Davis was shipped to Memphis as part of the trade that sent Rudy Gay to the Raptors, and he struggled to find consistent playing time on a Grizzlies team loaded with talent and experience in the frontcourt. When the Grizzlies re-signed Zach Randolph this summer, it made Davis expendable. The opportunity is there for him in Los Angeles. The Lakers are going through a period of transition, with longtime power forward Pau Gasol headed to Chicago and veteran center Chris Kaman gone to Portland. The Lakers brought back veteran Jordan Hill and drafted Kentucky’s Julius Randle with the seventh overall pick in June. But that’s about the extent of their depth in the frontcourt, so the opportunity is there for Davis to come in and make an impact.

a rap accompanied by video of the Clippers owner saying he isn’t a racist. The screen displayed the hashtag of Sterlingneverlovedus. Later, Drake teamed up with WNBA star Skylar Diggins for a sketch. She went in to kiss Drake, who has acknowledged his affection for her, but the smooch landed on his forehead and not his lips. Gregg Popovich won best coach-manager for guiding the San Antonio Spurs to the NBA championship. Spurs player Kawhi Leonard earned the championship performance award to go with his MVP award from the NBA Finals. Westbrook won best comeback athlete, having overcome his latest knee surgery to help the Thunder reach the Western Conference finals. Stewart won best female college athlete, while Creighton basketball star Doug McDermott won male college athlete. Olympic snowboarders Jamie Anderson and Sage Kotsenburg won best female and male Olympian. Kotsenburg won the first gold medal of the Sochi Games in men’s snowboard slopestyle. The Arthur Ashe Courage award went to St. Louis Rams

draftee Michael Sam, who announced earlier this year that he is gay. The former Missouri defensive end will be trying to make the Rams’ roster when training camp opens. If he does, Sam would be the NFL’s first openly gay player. Sam teared up throughout his speech and his voice faltered at times. “Great things can happen when you have the courage to be yourself,” he told the audience. Hall of Famer Jim Brown hugged Sam on his way to the stage. The Ashe award is named for the late tennis player who died in 1993 after contracting AIDS from a blood transfusion. The Jimmy V Award for Perseverance was given to ESPN “SportsCenter” anchor Stuart Scott, who is fighting a recurrence of cancer first diagnosed seven years ago. The Pat Tillman Award for Service was given for the first time to Josh Sweeney, a retired Marine who lost both his legs after an explosion in Afghanistan. He scored the lone goal for the U.S. sled hockey team that beat the Russians for gold earlier this year at the Paralympics in Sochi.

Sharing recipes Dipnetters share their favorite ways to prepare fresh-caught salmon By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Salmon recipes range from hours-long preparation time to simple standbys with only a couple ingredients that at-home chefs have perfected over time to everything in between. Early Wednesday morning dipnetters on the north Kenai beach from Palmer, Fairbanks and Anchorage shared their favorite recipes. Marianne Tiedeman, of Palmer, makes smoked Kippered Salmon annually when her family gets its full catch for the year. The recipe is from her mother-in-law Viola Tiedeman.

Smoked Kippered Salmon

larger propane or electric smoker, smoke for three hours on the lowest heat. For a smokehouse, smoke overnight. Pull the smoked fish off into a bowl or tray. Sterilize jars and rings, but not the lids. By placing them in your canner with about an inch of water until it starts boiling, place lid on sand steam them for 10 minutes. Fill your jars to approximately 1/2 inches to 3/4 inches form the top of your jar. Optional — add 2 tablepsoons olive oil for pint jar. Place filled jars into your canner without rings or lids, put lid on and steam for seven minutes. Take warmed jars out and using damp paper towels or cloths clean the top edges of your jars. There must be no grease or slivers of salmon on the top or your jars will not seal. Place lids on and rings just lightly tightened. Place lidded ringed jars into canner, upon filling your first row add enough water to come up halfway of the first row of jars. About 2 1/2 to 3 inches for pints. Fill the rest of the rows. Stretching out the rubber seal manually at this point ensures a good seal. Lid on, high heat until steam is vented. Vent for seven minutes. Add 10-pounds of weight or choose 10-pounds of pressure on a newer pressure cooker. Once the weight begins to jiggle rapidly, set your timer for 90 minutes and turn heat down to medium/ high. The weight should jiggle about every 15 seconds. When 90 minutes is up take the weight off and vent until it stops venting. Running cold water over the lid will hasten the process. Take your jars out with a canning grabber. You will start hearing pops as the vacuum is formed in the jars. After about 10 minutes out of the canner has passed, check your jars for sealing. This is done by tapping lightly on the lid. If it’s sealed, it will not spring up. Unsealed jars can be re-cleaned, a new lid added and put into the next batch to seal.

“My secret is cooking those onions until they’re dead,” she said.

Sauté one to two sliced or chopped onions on medium-low heat until they’re caramelized. Add minced garlic to taste at the last minute. Sprinkle the mixture over a raw fillet. Tent the salmon with foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes. Add salt and pepper to taste. “Everything is better with onions and garlic,” Luper said. For Julie Earp, of Anchorage, the best salmon recipe has a cedar planked standby that she makes multiple throughout the year.

Sockeye The bag limit on the Kasilof has been increased to 6 per day and 12 in possession while the personal use dipnet fishery on that river has seen its area expanded from the mouth upstream to the Sterling Highway Bridge as Alaska Department of Fish and Game managers work to control the escapement

sockeye have been returning to the Tutka Bay Lagoon alongside pink salmon returns.

Kings For anglers who want to harvest a king salmon, looking away from the famed Kenai River may be the best route as the late-run continues to come in slow and will likely be restricted later in the week. The marine fishery for kings has proves fairly successful during the 2014 fishing season and Fish and Game reports show that trolling for feeders kings is good in the Lower

Cedar Planked Salmon with Maple Ginger Glaze 1 salmon fillet 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1 2-inch peeled piece of ginger Zest and juice of one lemon 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Soak large cedar plank in water for two hours. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Sprinkle salt and pepper on salmon and let stand for about 15 minutes. In a sauce pan heat maple syrup, ginger, lemon zest and butter over medium heat until thickened. Stir in lemon juice. Pat cedar plank dry. Place on oven rack for about 15 minutes. Remove and place fish, skin down, on plank. Brush fish with half of glaze. Cook until salmon is just turning golden on top. Remove fish and change setting to broil. Brush rest of glaze on the salmon. Broil until golden. Remove and let rest for a few minutes before serving. “It’s a sweeter way to eat salmon,” she said.

Sockeye still the fish to follow of red salmon up the river. The number of sockeye entering the river has remained relatively stable and fishing is fair, according to Fish and Game fishing reports. The red salmon have yet to enter the Kenai River en masse, though a thriving personal-use dipnet fishery has seen fair success as the run continues to progress. On the Russian River, sockeye salmon fishing my improve over the next few days as laterun reds migrate through the Kenai River, according to Fish and Game’s fishing report. In the Lower Cook Inlet,

Baked Salmon with Caramelized Onions

This recipe is for a large amount of raw salmon. Amounts can be adjusted. A large, wheeled-type of cooler. This size works well for about 20 pounds of salmon. Mix in clean cooler: 1 box canning/pickling salt or rock salt if you cant find the canning kind 1 bag brown sugar 2 cups soy sauce Add water to halfway up the cooler. Stir well until salt is dissolved. Add salmon sliced about 1-inch wide and 5-inches long for pint jars. Leave in brine for approximately one hour. Clear a large table or countertop and cover it with clean garbage bags to contain the juices release and brine. Pull out strips and place on countertop/table to dry overnight.

Cook Inlet near Flat Island, Point Pogibshi, Yukon Island, Bear Cove and Bluff Point. Anglers have also reported catching pink, chum, sockeye and coho salmon while trolling for kings, according to the report. King salmon may also be caught in the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon just off of the Homer Spit, according to the fishing report.

Pike For a different kind of fishing experience, anglers can target invasive Northern Pike which are present in several

Northern Cook Inlet streams and in a few lakes on the central Kenai Peninsula. Pike can be harvested using spears, bow and arrow, bait, spin and fly fishing gear. Herring suspended under a bobber will likely catch the fish, according to a Fish and Game fishing report. Anglers may keep as many pike as they catch — there is no bag or possession limit. On the road system, try Nancy Lake, Long Lake, Memory and Prator lakes in the Northern Cook Inlet or boat into the Deshka River and Alexander Creek.

This photo released by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation shows Andy Serkis as Caesar in a scene from the film, “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.”

Latest ‘Apes’ film impresses “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” Twentieth Century Fox 2 hours, 10 minutes One of the pop-culture blogs I read recently did a feature listing all of the “Planet of the Apes” movies in order of how much of a “bummer” the ending was. This was kind of funny, but it really served to remind me of two things: one, that almost all of the “Apes” movies, released from 19681973 are schlocky, low-budget affairs (not counting the original which is a certified masterpiece), and two, how remarkable it is that these more recent iterations (not counting Tim Burton’s version which is certified junk) are so good. 2011’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was an excellent movie, not only as a genre film, but as a well rounded, well thought out, well executed cinematic tale. The story of genetically enhanced apes, recipients of an Alzheimer’s cure gone awry, and how they escape humanity all the while ushering in a global pandemic is both fast-paced and methodical. This week’s highly anticipated sequel, “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of besting the original, balancing emotional

When we left off, Caesar, the first in a line and the leader of a colony of intelligent apes, has created a peaceful society in the rainforests outside of what was once San Francisco. It has now been more than ten years since the so-called Simian Flu wiped out nearly the entire human population of the world. Things seem well, but the burdens of leadership weigh on our hero. Caesar’s son Blue Eyes is struggling to balance wisdom and action, and his second in command, the hideously scarred and emotionally damaged Koba, is beginning to chafe under domestic tranquility. He needn’t worry for long. One day Blue Eyes and his friend Ash, son of Rocket (who you may remember from the first

New gardening for new climates By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press

Ripping out the front lawn and its bordering rhododendrons and replacing them with a landscape of native grasses, groundcovers, succulents and rocks once seemed an unfathomable act of defiance. No longer. As many parts of the United States grapple with drought and rising water bills, “The thought of an English garden in the Central Valley of California is sheer madness. It wasn’t meant to be, and it’s sucking up precious groundwater we need for agriculture,” said Ann Savageau, a design professor at the University of California at Davis, who recently traded in her lush green lawns for a desert look. Instead of scoffing, neighbors stopped to ask her landscaper for his business card. Other California towns, including Sacramento and Menlo Park, have begun offering rebates to homeowners who re-

can follow. “Awareness is changing in a way that is here to stay,” said Brian Sullivan, a vice president for landscapes at The New York Botanical Garden. Mowing and watering a traditional lawn requires a lot of time, money, water and fertilizers. Increasingly, many home gardeners want to focus instead on edible gardens, and rethink the rest of their landscaping in a more environmentally sustainable and low-maintenance way. It’s sometimes hard to know where to begin, however, and few people have the funds or AP Photo/Katherine Roth time to tackle a total garden This photo taken on May 13 shows dwarf crested irises in makeover all at once.

film as the whitish chimpanzee who bullies Caesar at first) are out scouting the area when they happen across a group of humans hiking through the underbrush. One has a gun and, spooked, he shoots Ash, wounding him. This confrontation reveals to the apes that the few human survivors, far from fading away quietly, have been attempting to rebuild society on top of the ruins of their once proud city. A necessary component for this rebirth is the re-establishment of electrical power by reactivating a nearby hydroelectric dam. Unfortunately for all involved, access to said dam goes right through the apes’ territory. The inevitable culture clash could be enough to rip apart whatever fragile progress either group has made. As impressed as I was with the first film in this new series, I was doubly impressed here. The confidence and patience involved in this story is supreme. Director Matt Reeves is content to let the tension and drama build naturally without any artificial push to a splashy climax. The characters are all fully fleshed out, and the fact that most of them are also fully furred makes no difference.

Family travel: Five tips for vacationing with teens By BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

NEW YORK — Family travel falls into three distinct phases. First, there’s the exhausting period of travel with crying babies who need diapers, bottles, strollers, car seats and naps. Then come the golden years, when kids can handle long rides and long walks, when they actually think scavenger hunts are fun, and when they bask in their family’s love and attention. But that’s followed by the teenage years, which can be nearly as challenging as the toddler years — because to a teenager, any place a parent wants to go is by definition uncool. It’s tempting to fantasize about leaving them home (surely they can take care of themselves!), but they might throw wild parties in your absence, so you’ll have to bring them along. Here are five strategies — crowd-sourced and from personal experience — to help you survive. It may not be cool for teenagers to travel with their parents, but you can definitely make it

more fun.

Find appealing activities Teenage brains crave danger. Parental brains crave security. Fortunately, many activities are both thrilling and basically safe, like zip-lining, whitewater rafting and roller coasters. Teens also like trying new things. Let them try surfing, stand-up paddleboards or snorkeling. No reason mom and dad can’t sit that stuff out, by the way — the kids will surely learn faster than you, and you wouldn’t want to be humiliated. If activities involve spending money, discuss limits ahead of time. And if shopping’s on the itinerary, don’t forget thrift shops as fun, bargain alternatives to malls and brand-name stores. Like the song says, “Is that your grandma’s coat?”

Let them explore Let teens explore on their own as much as possible, whether the setting is a theme park, mall, beach, festival or neighborhood. If everyone has cellphones, it’s easy to keep track

Be flexible about itineraries I like museums, gardens and historic sites. My husband likes 6 a.m. sunrise hikes, preferably up steep mountain trails. Guess what? Our kids sometimes rebel and we sometimes compromise. Being flexible about itineraries and letting kids help plan is critical to family travel happiness. We’ve let a kid stay at the hotel while we’ve gone hiking. I’ve done botanical gardens alone while the others went to a zoo. We’ve even skipped alleged must-sees because the kids didn’t want to do them, and really, what’s the point? It’s vacation, not medicine.

This Aug. 5, 2011 photo shows whitewater rafters going down the Sacandaga River in Lake Luzerne, N.Y. Activities like whitewater rafting, ziplining, surfing and stand-up paddleboarding often appeal to teenagers, even when they’re at the age where they’re not all that excited about vacationing with their parents.

Friends can make trips more fun and give parents time to relax while kids hang with their buddies. But consider a trial-run sleepover at home first to get a realistic preview of your prospective guest’s habits. Can you handle overly picky eaters, screen addicts and kids who either won’t go to sleep or won’t wake up? If you can afford accommodations with a separate room for teens — even if it’s just a pullout sofa in a living room with a TV — that might also make everyone happier. Inviting another family — parents as well as kids — to vacation with you is another option, depending on budgets and logistics.

show or antiques store. Some families plan trips by letting each person pick one place for the group to visit, alternating adult choices with kid picks, and limiting museums to an hour if kids don’t want to be there. Sure, you want to see the “Mona Lisa” in Paris, but you needn’t spend all day at the Louvre. Another museum strategy: Let teens sit somewhere playing with their phones while you power walk

through a gallery or two. Here’s the good news: Now that my kids are older — 16 and 21 — they think art is cool. What’s more awesome than putting a selfie with “The Scream” on Instagram? And even if you can’t get teens psyched about museums, they might love street art. Many cities have neighborhoods where graffiti — illegal or sanctioned — is a tourist attraction, like Wynwood, Miami, or Bush-

The greatest feat of these films, this one in particular, is that it makes the ridiculous premise of talking, horse-riding, guntoting chimpanzees believable — so much so that you begin to forget how strange it all is. I did feel that the film’s big emotional climax lacked a little of the punch it was going for, if only because it seemed inevitable, but this is a minor complaint. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” is one of the best examples of genre filmmaking I’ve ever seen and one of best films of the year. Grade: A

“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” is rated PG-13 for action violence and mature themes. Speaking of mature themes, I was early to my screening of “Apes” and decided to sneak in and watch the first fifteen minutes or so of the new “Transformers” movie. If there were any group of films that was the absolute antithesis of all that I’ve written here it would be Michael Bay’s despicable giant robot series. In just a few minutes I was treated to Bay’s trademark bombastic cinematography where each new character is introduced, shot from

below with a swirling dramatic camera shot. The little dialogue I heard was awful, but worst of all was the treatment of a blond teen bombshell who Bay takes pains to film in as lascivious a way as possible all the while having the script decry her lack of conservative sensibilities. It was more than a little disgusting. Luckily a good movie was starting, so I didn’t have to endure it for very long.

and local extension services offer brochures, online help, and classes on suitable plants and landscapes for various climates and regions. Many also maintain native plant gardens to inspire home gardeners, and some communities offer incentives to homeowners making the shift toward more sustainable yards. Melanie Sifton, vice president of horticulture and facilities at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, in New York City, suggests that homeowners start with Landscapeforlife.org, an interdisciplinary effort toward sustainable gardens led by the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at the University of Texas in Austin, and the United States Botanic Garden.

mixed with Kentucky bluegrass, she said.

Consider a rain garden Rain gardens are “a great idea for any part of the country. ... You take out a small area of lawn and make a depression into which you direct the rainwater coming off your roof. Instead of rainwater running down the driveway and overwhelming sewers, it goes into an area planted with occasionally heavy downpours in mind,”

Think sustainable “In areas with sufficient water, I’m not anti-lawn,” Sifton said. “Just be aware of water use, use organic fertilizers and aerate the soil a lot.” Sustainable lawn varieties being used successfully in New York City include tall fescues

Give a teen a job Let them drive on a road trip. Put them in charge of taking pictures. And with all their digital know-how, let them navigate when you’re lost.

Chris Jenness is a freelance graphic designer, artist and movie buff who lives in Nikiski.

Compost “Composting yard waste and putting out a bucket for rainwater are huge in their environmental impact, and are both very easy ways to start gardening more sustainably,” Sifton added.

Reader reports happy ending to engagement ring dilemma DEAR ABBY: On July 26, 2011, you posted an answer to “Jittery Future Bride in Boston.” I am that woman. I had asked you how to get my boyfriend of five years to use my deceased grandmother’s ring as an engagement ring. I followed your advice and told my boyfriend-atthe-time that I wanted to use a family ring. I spoke with my father about it and checked with my sister to see if she would mind if I used it. We got engaged seven months ago, and my nowhusband told me he had been hoping to take the stone from my paternal grandmother’s ring, a stone from my maternal grandmother’s ring and one from his family to make a new “joining of the families” ring. We haven’t made it yet, but we all look forward to the special meaning that it will embody. We even plan to make a new setting out of the old setting. It’s a fairytale ending. — BLUSHING BRIDE IN BOSTON DEAR BLUSHING BRIDE: Actually, it’s more like a fairy-tale beginning. I love the idea. Thank you for letting me know how things turned out. Not many of my readers take the time to do that. I wish you and your husband a lifetime of happiness together.

died recently. I offered my condolences, and since then I haven’t been the same. I am nine months pregnant, and even though I should be excited and celebrating the anticipated arrival of our baby, all I can think about is that my mother is going to die one day. She’s 52, healthy and happy, but I can’t get it out of my mind. I have become a different person, crying at the Abigail Van Buren most trivial things and often panicking that Mom’s OK. I don’t think I could make it through if anything happened to her. Dwelling on this is affecting my relationship with my husband and my friends. How do I stop obsessing over this? — ANXIOUS IN ALBUQUERQUE DEAR ANXIOUS: A discussion with your OB/ GYN would be helpful. By the last months of pregnancy, a woman’s body is swimming in hormones. Those increased hormone levels have been known to have a profound effect on a woman’s emotions. DEAR ABBY: The mother of a friend of mine The solution to your problem may be as simple

Hints from Heloise

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

ple are forgetting important pieces of a puzzle, perhaps involving your immediate circle. Make a point to get past your irritation, and consider how you can persuade these same people to be more thorough. Tonight: Make it early, if possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your fiery nature takes over, which factors your creativity and dynamic thinking into the mix. Others enjoy this part of your personality, and they often step back and make way for you and your expansive ideas. Do not accept “no” as an answer. Tonight: Paint the town red. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your mind might be on home and family. Your thinking will be clear to those close to you, though you still could tumble into controversy. You’ll have to decide whether to stand up to different ideas, incorporate them or become rigid about them. Tonight: At home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You often tell it as it is, which tends to trigger some uproar. You bring out a natural sense of defiance in others. You will find out quickly whether your style will work well in a new situation. Try to choose your words with care. Avoid getting personal. Tonight: Hang out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Be aware of your actions and how they might trigger a strong reaction from a loved one or an associate. On the other hand, remember to be sensitive to your needs. Use a measure of care with your finances. It will serve you well to honor your budget. Tonight: Pay bills first.

A good habitat to have Dear Heloise: I remembered reading in your column about the Habitat For Humanity resale store called Habitat ReStore. Because of this, I was able to go there and purchase items for our new home very economically. What a great hint! — Jessica D. in Tennessee Habitat for Humanity is a wonderful organization that has been mentioned in this column before. It accepts any leftover and reusable furniture, building supplies and materials. It even takes appliances, but those appliances must be in working order. An added bonus is that the Habitat ReStores are owned and operated by local Habitat for Humanity affiliates. These donations are sold to the public, and the proceeds are used for building the Habitat houses in that area. It is a great organization to support, along with being a great place to take donations of items you no longer need. — Heloise Fan pulls Dear Heloise: We always were having trouble identifying which chain to pull on for the fan and which one for the light. I went to a home-improvement store and bought several small pulls in white and several large ones in black. Now, whatever room we are in, we know that the small, white pull is for the light and the large, black one is for the fan. No more confusion. Fan pulls come in so many shapes and colors that you can find ones that work for you. — F.E., via email Cake carrier Dear Heloise: My cake carrier takes up a lot of space. Not wanting to waste space, I started storing my paper plates and napkins in it while not in use. Keeps them clean, out of the way, and does not waste space. — Tina in Oklahoma

someone’s frustration. Try not to fan any flames; instead, help this person discuss his or her feelings. Be optimistic in your calls and in your communication, and you will see a positive response. Tonight: Where the gang is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might decide that a new approach would be better, especially if you find that others are trying to force your hand.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to an expert to help you make a decision. If you can postpone having to choose right now, you would be well advised to do so.

as understanding that once your baby arrives and your hormones return to normal, you will be back on a more even keel. If that doesn’t happen, you may have to talk with a mental health professional — although I doubt that will be necessary. In the meantime, your mother is healthy, happy and about to be a grandmother, so dwell on the positive.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Cancer and a Moon in Pisces if born before 12:24 a.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Aries. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 17, 2014: This year opportunities pop up from out of the blue, though they might force your hand in making decisions that you would prefer to avoid. If you are single, you attract many different personalities. Avoid getting too serious with anyone who is possessive. If you are attached, the two of you will reach a financial pinnacle, but only if you continue to save. A lucky bet or a promotion also could be part of the scenario. ARIES might be alluring, but he or she also can cause a lot of conflict in your life. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Confusion will mark your words, though you might feel as if you are being very clear. As a result, you will have a choice to make that you would like to avoid. Be careful when suppressing your anger, as there could be a backfire. Tonight: Go for the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH You might choose to say less and listen more. What you see evolving could be somewhat depressing. Remember that everything can change in the blink of an eye. Be careful, as anger easily could disrupt and surprise you. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Emphasize what you want. You could be taken aback by
