Judge: Setnet ban initiative OK Lt. governor’s decision overturned; proponents allowed to move forward By MOLLY DISCHNER Morris News Service-Alaska Alaska Journal of Commerce

ANCHORAGE — Voters could to be asked to decide whether to ban setnets in certain parts of Alaska under a court decision made Wednesday. The Alaska Fisheries Conservation Alliance, or AFCA,

filed a ballot initiative petition in November seeking to ask voters whether to ban setnets in urban parts of the state, which would primarily impact Upper Cook Inlet setnetters. Anchorage Superior Court Judge Catherine Easter overturned Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell’s decision not to certify the proposed ballot initia-

tive in a Wednesday ruling and ordered the lieutenant governor to certify the initiative and allow proponents to continue the process toward getting the question on the 2016 ballot. Treadwell struck down the initiative in January based on a state Department of Law opinion asserting that it would be a prohibited appropriation.

AFCA appealed, and during oral argument, attorney Matt Singer said that organization believed the initiative is not an appropriation, and that the public’s right to weigh in on fish and wildlife management using the ballot initiative process should be interpreted broadly, with the appropriations limitation interpreted narrowly.

Bed tax to go to voters

In the news

JUNEAU (AP) — Arguments are scheduled for October in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Alaska’s ban on same-sex marriage. Five same-sex couples, four married outside of Alaska and one unmarried couple, sued to overturn the ban in May. Alaska voters approved a constitutional amendment in 1998 defining marriage as between one man and one woman. The state, in its response, said Alaska isn’t required to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. State attorneys also argue that Alaska, as a sovereign state, has the right to define and regulate marriage. The case is being heard by U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Burgess. The Oct. 10 arguments are set against the backdrop of judges in other states striking down bans similar to Alaska’s as unconstitutional. A number of those decisions are being appealed.

Upper Cook Inlet setnetters target sockeye salmon for commercial harvest. Their permits also allow to them to target other salmon species, including kings, that swim into the nets. Eliminating setnetters in Cook Inlet would likely result in increased catch for in-river sport fishermen, personal-use

Assembly may debate measure again By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Nikiski Fire Department firefighters continue to work an Aleutian Court home in Nikiski Wednesday after a fire consumed it. When crews arrived at about 6 p.m., the fire had fully involved the home, Nikiski Fire Department information officer Bud Sexton said. The sole occupant of the home was out of the structure when crews arrived, and the fire was quickly extinguished, he said. The department responded with one engine, two tankers, one rescue vehicle, one ambulance and about 10 personnel, according to on-scene personnel. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Sexton said he was unable to release the name of the occupant at the time of inquiry. The American Red Cross has been contacted to assist the victim.

By-mail voting sent to fall ballot By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Voters this Oct. 7 will have the opportunity to advise local public servants whether the Kenai Peninsula Borough should hold elections by mail. The borough assembly at its Tuesday meeting passed a resolution to ask voters to provide the body with their input on the issue. At its July 1 meeting, the assembly considered and failed the resolution for the advisory vote, sponsored by assembly member Dale Bagley, and the ordinance for the assembly to

enact vote-by-mail elections, sponsored by assembly member Bill Smith. Both gave notice of reconsideration to consider the votes at the following meeting. “This is a very major change in the way the borough in the future might be conducting its elections doing by-mail,” Bagley said. “And I’d like to hear what the people have to say, and I also think it’s part of an educational process so they know that we’re looking at doing this.” While Smith sponsored the ordinance, which introduced the concept of by-mail elections

the assembly, he said Tuesday he was supportive of the resolution. Following the passage of the resolution, Smith’s ordinance was postponed to January 2015. Assembly members Kelly Wolf, Mako Haggerty and Wayne Ogle voted against putting the advisory question on the ballot. Smith originally introduced vote-by-mail to the assembly in the hope that by-mail elections would increase voter turnout. Last year the borough saw about 21 percent voter turnout. He previously said he initial-

ly thought vote-by-mail elections would save the borough money. However, according to a fiscal note prepared by Borough Clerk Johni Blankenship, voting by mail will cost more money — $57,420 for mayoral elections and $23,090 for nonmayoral elections. If the borough does hold elections by mail, citizens can still vote in person at absentee voting sites. Of the 28 precincts within the borough, six are currently absentee-by-mail only. Kaylee Osowski can be reached at kaylee.osowski@ peninsulaclarion.com.

With a 5-4 vote, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly passed an ordinance at its Tuesday meeting to ask voters on the Oct. 7 ballot if a boroughwide bed tax should be implemented. But that could change. After Assembly President Hal Smalley announced the ordinance passed, with assembly members Kelly Wolf, Mako Haggerty, Charlie Pierce and Wayne Ogle voting against the ordinance, Wolf gave notice of reconsideration of the vote. At the Aug. 5 assembly meeting, if a member moves for reconsideration of the action, the body votes to reconsider and five members vote against the ordinance, the proposition will not appear on the ballot. However, if the assembly denies reconsideration or votes again on the ordinance and still passes it, voters will consider whether or not guests at hotels, motels, cabins, lodges and bed and breakfasts across the peninsula will pay a bed tax. Felicia Keith-Jones, owner of High Mark Distillery in Sterling, spoke in favor of the bed tax. See BED, page A-7

Therapy dogs highlighted at Central Peninsula Hospital By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

With chocolate eyes Bandit, a 6-year-old border collie and blue heeler mix stared eagerly up at his owner, Lynn Whitmer, Wednesday in the lobby of the Central Peninsula Hospital. Returning the gaze, Whitmer pulled back her right hand, as Bandit attempted to playfully tap it with his dark nose. Whitmer and Bandit spent an hour in the hospital lobby to put help highlight the ongoing Animal Assisted Therapy program at the hospital, said program coordinator Kathy East. The pair have been partners for the past five years in Animal

Assisted Therapy programs at schools and hospitals in Alaska and Wyoming. Once a year East puts together a showcase of the animals and their trainers in the CPH volunteer-driven program to meet the staff and patients frequenting the facility. She said letting the patients know they have the option, and making staff aware of the program is important. CPH is run off of the Planetree model, which views animals as a method of healing, East said. The certified dogs are brought to meet patients at their request, and will spend an hour sitting and interacting in their rooms.

Each animal must be trained and certified through the national non-profit Pet Partners, East said. A certification must be renewed every two years. East said she has heard of cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits and even a mini horse being certified as therapy animals. At Central Peninsula Hospital only dogs are currently in the program, she said. Standards for certification include temperament, physical condition, health and ability to remain undisturbed, according to petpartners.org. The animal Photo by Kelly Sullivan/ Peninsula Clarion must be able to obey commands such as sitting, staying Kathy East brought her certified therapy animal named Ben and dropping an object.

Former governor cited for speeding in Wasilla JUNEAU — Sarah Palin is facing a $154 ticket for speeding in her hometown of Wasilla. The former Alaska governor was pulled over July 16 and cited for driving between 10 and 19 mph over the speed limit. The penalty includes a $144 fine and $10 police training surcharge. An attorney for Palin said he didn’t know details of the case but said that Palin would pay the fine. A spokesperson for the Wasilla Police Department didn’t immediately return a phone message seeking comment. In discussing the ticket with TMZ, Palin made an auto racing reference, joking that she wasn’t speeding, she was “qualifying.” — The Associated Press

Cleanup of trash on remote island underway KODIAK (AP) — Volunteers are cleaning up marine debris from a remote Alaska island. The effort on Tugidak Island is the second and final year of Kodiak Island Trails Network’s debris-removal project at the site, KMXT reported. The island is southwest of the southern tip of Kodiak Island. Participants have been on the island now for two weeks, Trails Network director Tom Pogson said. So far, the work is going well, he said by satellite phone. “We decided that there was enough debris in the area that we cleaned last year and we re-cleaned that area in almost less than half the time,” he said Last year, the network collected 130 super sacks of marine debris, such as buoys and nets, from the island. The bags measure about 4 cubic feet and can hold up to 400 pounds of debris. Pogson said 65 bags have already been collected so far this

What Others Say

Where does your data go when you die? Dying in the digital age means leaving

two worlds instead of one. One is the physical world, where your body resides. The other is the online world, where your virtual self exists. When you die, your loved ones become responsible for both — yet they have very few tools to take proper care of the online “you.” This is a growing problem nationally and in Oregon, as older citizens become more Internet-savvy and people of all ages conduct more of their personal and financial business online. Oregon lawmakers should be prepared to tackle this issue in 2015, with help from privacy advocates and estate attorneys: Our laws are ill-equipped to deal with the tricky reality of gaining access to others’ Facebook accounts, family photos stored in the cloud, and even password-protected phones. Last week, a leading group of lawyers recommended that states adopt several proposals to make it easier for surviving family members and executors of estates to gain access to your digital assets when you die. This group, known as the Uniform Law Commission, says electronic documents should be treated much like paper documents in a file cabinet. In most cases, a surviving loved one or executor should get easy access without having to petition a judge or jump through months of hoops. Same goes for photos and files that might be stored online: Unless the person specified otherwise in a will, trust or user opt-in agreement, that person’s digital assets should be as accessible as their physical property, the group says. “Technology is creating these assets on a daily basis, and the law is woefully behind,” said former state lawmaker Lane Shetterly, an Oregon attorney who served on the workgroup that hammered out the recommendations. The group’s intent is to establish good public policy around better access, he explained, while also carving out ways for people to protect their online privacy, even in death. “This is a balancing act,” Shetterly told The Oregonian editorial board on Tuesday. Digital privacy is emerging as a hot topic for the 2015 legislative session, and dealing with the digital assets of a deceased person is likely to be part of the mix. Oregon lawmakers may be surprised to discover that many of the same Internet companies that seem awfully casual about users’ privacy are often the most reluctant to share account information with surviving loved ones, both because of company policies and competing federal laws. Oregonians may find themselves debating surreal questions such as: How can we keep a virtual self out of legal purgatory? How should we define a good digital death? This would have sounded like gibberish five years ago. Now, it’s a natural extension of living with our heads — and a good part of our souls — in the digital cloud. — The Oregonian, Portland, Oregon, July 22

Opinion

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

The leader of the free world?

President Barack Obama must have missed his calling as head of the National Transportation Safety Board. In the wake of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, Obama has been the nation’s forensic investigator-in-chief. He has summoned all the moral authority of his office to call for the professional handling of the wreckage. President Ronald Reagan famously implored the Soviets to “Tear down this wall.” President Obama’s injunction is “Investigate this crash.” Or as he put it rousingly in his statement on Ukraine from the South Lawn Monday, “I’ve sent teams; other countries have sent teams.” If transportation disaster assistance specialists strike fear in Vladimir Putin, the Russian strongman is no doubt daunted by the Western response. A fair, expeditious investigation of the crash is obviously preferable to the depredations of Putin’s minions, but is largely beside the point. This isn’t the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. There is no mystery. Forces controlled by Putin shot a civilian airliner out of the sky. End of story. Whether Ukrainian separatists or Russian personnel pulled the trigger is almost moot, since both are creatures of the Russian state. The downing of Flight 17 is of a piece with Putin’s lawless aggression. Having already absorbed Crimea, he seeks to further dismember a European country for the offense of seeking to govern itself in keeping with its values and interests.

Letters to the Editor K-Beach community urged to take action Another fall flooding disaster not only looms large over K-Beach area, but appears to be ongoing. We are now experiencing spring, summer, and fall flooding of our properties. I am writing as a longtime K-Beach resident out of concern for all affected residents who are not only suffering the onslaught of flooded wells, septics, and dwellings; but also properties devalued by standing water, sinkholes, and a myriad of other flood related damages that compound with each rain storm. Groundwater in my septic system has risen ten inches in the past ten days this July. I am grateful for the Kenai Peninsula Borough road upgrades this summer in our area, yet am concerned that building up roads without improving road drainage will only contribute to flooding upgradient property owners. Why is the borough not taking the necessary action to prevent ongoing groundwater flooding before our community suffers further damage? I was informed by the borough that there is no plan to prevent future flooding in our area. I don’t know about all my neighbors, but I am not giving in to discouragement from governing bodies. I am praying to my Lord in heaven who governs all for our borough leaders to seek wise counsel, formulate a plan, calculate the cost, and take action. If KPB has no plan, then at least tell it like it is, so we don’t pin false hope with KPB. I encourage everyone affected to call the governor’s office, and find out if the state is able to take action if the borough does not have a plan to do so. In two or three weeks, it may be too late C

So far, he hasn’t paid enough of a concrete price, despite repeated warnings from President Obama. When they go unheeded, Obama simply makes new warnings. They have marked each step of Rich Lowry Putin’s escalation, and never made a difference. What Teddy Roosevelt was to gunboat diplomacy, Barack Obama is to the ineffectual demand. Putin is surely counting on the urgency of the latest outrage fading with time, and with his inevitable obfuscations and lies. President Obama said on Monday that if Russia persists in Ukraine it “will only further isolate itself from the international community.” But isolation isn’t an autocatalytic process. Someone has to do the isolating. The U.S. has been more aggressive on sanctions than the Europeans, yet has stopped short of cutting off broad sectors of the Russian economy from our financial system. That is within our power to do, even if the Europeans balk at going so far, and there also is nothing stopping us from providing the Ukrainian military with the heavy arms to win the Putin-instigated civil war. The Ukrainian military was starved of funds by pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled the country earlier this year. Ukrainians have been holding

bake sales to support the army. Our initial response was to send the Ukrainian military meals ready to eat, which would have been a fearsome response if Russian-backed rebels could be defeated by Spam. A report in The Wall Street Journal in April captured the administration’s mindset when it noted that we were reviewing Ukrainian requests for medical kits and military socks because “you want to calibrate your chest-thumps,” in the words of a senior military official. The nonlethal aid is now flowing, but who thinks of socks as a “chest thump”? President Obama speaks as if both the Ukrainian government and the Russiansupported separatists need to stand down. This glosses over that the Ukrainian government was elected in a landslide and seeks merely to reassert control over its sovereign territory. It deserves our fullest material and moral support. In international affairs, President Obama possesses only an uncertain trumpet. It’s not as though he’s incapable of outraged righteousness in other circumstances. He summons it against Republicans all the time. If Vladimir Putin tried to repeal Obamacare instead of merely overturning the post-World War II order in Europe by force of arms, perhaps he would be truly exercised and fully engaged. The president lacks the same passion for his responsibilities as alleged leader of the free world. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Business New cakery to open in Kenai By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

When opening a new business, Summer Ferguson’s recipe for success combines dreams, ambition, hard work and talent. After a few years of making decorative cakes and cupcakes at home for weddings, birthdays and other events, Ferguson is nearly ready to open Iced and Sliced Cakery in the strip mall at 610 Attla Way in Kenai. “Kenai doesn’t have anything like this,” Ferguson said. … “This isn’t necessarily a bakery, it is a cakery. But it gives that pastry side to Kenai so people don’t have to drive to Soldotna.” While Ferguson, 24, has been baking since she was a teenager, her interest in making cakes professionally started five years ago with a Fourth of July birthday cake for her father-in-law. “I decided to do the full-on fondant decorated cake and tried to make it really yummy, and it turned out terrible,” she said. “But we put sparklers on it and that made it really awesome.” Since she began her business from home, Ferguson has created 80 different cake flavors including gluten-free, vegan and diabetic options. Along with whole cakes, cake by-the-slice and cupcakes, which will be on a rotating flavor menu, Ferguson will also sell macaroons, croissantdoughnuts and espresso. Customers’ top favorite cake flavors include Strawberries N

Summer Ferguson stands in her soon-to-be opened shop on July 17, Iced and Sliced Cakery in the strip mall at 610 Attla Way in Kenai. Ferguson has been making cakes out of her home for weddings, birthdays and other events for about five years. The grand opening of her shop is scheduled for Aug. 9 starting at 10 a.m.

Champagne, Mimosa, Caramel Mocha and Oreo Ferguson said. “Oreo is just a favorite of kids and adults,” she said “I don’t think anybody can grow out of that.” Ferguson began work on her shop in April while still fulfilling orders out of her home kitchen and taking care of her two young children with her husband. “I had to turn down so many (orders) because I’m trying to open shop,” she said. Ferguson describes the shop décor as rustic and industrial.

Corrugated metal siding and distressed wood with pops of blue throughout the shop, do-ityourself art and one-of-a-kind finds achieve her vision. She hopes the warm, familyfriendly atmosphere will encourage customers to sit down and stay a while. “I want it to be a place where people can enjoy themselves and hang out,” she said. Starting out Ferguson plans to be open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The grand opening is scheduled for Aug. 9. The first 24

customers will receive a free cupcake and Ferguson will have a drawing for a dozen free cupcakes. Ferguson said while her venture has been called ambitious at this point in her life, she’s had a lot of help and support from friends and family. “They’ve known that this has been a dream of mine for a long time and they just want to see it take off,” Ferguson said.

Social networks paying for posts SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Facebook and most other social networks are built on the premise that just about everything should be shared —except the money those posts produce. At least two services are trying to change that. Bubblews, a social network that came out of out of an extended test phase last week, pays users for posts that attract traffic and advertisers. Another company, Bonzo Me, has been doing something similar since early July. “I just feel like everyone on social networks has been taken advantage of for long enough,” says Michael Nusbaum, a Morristown, New Jersey surgeon who created Bonzo Me. “Facebook has been making a ton of money, and the people providing the content aren’t getting anything.” Bonzo Me is paying its users up to 80 percent of its ad revenue for the most popular posts. Bubblews’ compensation formula is more complex. It’s based on the number of times that each post is clicked on or provokes some other kind of networking activity. To start, the payments are expected to translate into just a penny per view, comment or like. Bubblews plans to pay its users in $50 increments, meaning it could take a while for most users to qualify for their first paycheck unless they post material that that goes viral. “No one should come to our site in anticipation of being able to quit their day job,” Bubblews CEO Arvind Dixit says. “But we are trying to be fair with our users. Social networks don’t have to be places where you feel like you’re being exploited.” Bubblews is also trying to make its service worthwhile for users by encouraging deeper, thoughtful posts instead of musings about trifling subjects. To do that, it requires each post to span at least 400 characters, or roughly the opening two paragraphs of this story. Technology analyst Rob Enderle believes Bubblews, or something like it, eventually will catch on. “I don’t think this freecontent model is sustainable,” Enderle says. “You can’t sustain the quality of the product if you aren’t paying people for the content that they are creating. And you can’t pay your bills if all you are getting are ‘likes.’”

Gerry Kelly of San Francisco has already earned nearly $100 from Bubblews since he began using a test version in January. His Bubblews feed serves as a journal about the lessons he has learned in life, as well as a forum for his clothing brand, Sonas Denim. Though Facebook is by far the largest social network, it has a history of irking users. People have complained when Facebook changed privacy settings in ways that exposed posts to a wider audience. They have criticized Facebook for circulating ads containing endorsements from users who didn’t authorize the marketing messages. More recently, people were upset over a 2012 experiment in which Facebook manipulated the accounts of about 700,000 users to analyze how their moods were affected by the emotional tenor of the posts flowing through their pages. Facebook apologized. Kelly still regularly posts on his Facebook page to stay in touch with friends and family, but says he is more leery of the service. “They just take all your information and make all the money for themselves. It’s insane,” Kelly says. Despite the occasional uproar,

Facebook Inc. has been thriving while feeding off the free content of its 1.3 billion users. The Menlo Park, California, company now has a market value of about $180 billion, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg ranks among the world’s wealthiest people with a fortune of about $30 billion, based on the latest estimates from Forbes magazine. Advertisers, meanwhile, are pouring more money into social networks because that is where people are spending more time, particularly on smartphones. Facebook’s share of the $140 billion worldwide market for digital ads this year is expected to climb to nearly 8 percent, or $11 billion, up from a market share of roughly 6 percent, or $7 billion last year, according to the research firm eMarketer. Although it still isn’t profitable, short-messaging service Twitter is also becoming a bigger advertising magnet, thanks largely to its 255 million users who also provide a steady flow of free content. Twitter’s digital ad revenue this year is expected to rise to $1.1 billion, nearly doubling from $600 million last year, according to eMarketer. Facebook and Twitter have become such important marketing tools that celebrities and other users with large social-

media followings are being paid by advertisers to mention and promote products on their accounts. Bubblews wants to make money, too, but it also wants to ensure that everyone using it gets at least a small slice of the advertising pie. Dixit, 26, who started Bubblews with his college buddy Jason Zuccari, says the service got about 200,000 users during a “beta” test phase that began in September 2012. The service unveiled a redesigned website last week as it finally moved out of testing. Bonzo Me is even smaller, with just a few thousand users since the release of apps for the Web, iPhones and Android devices in early July. The service has paid about $30,000 in ad revenue to users so far, according to Nusbaum. Sandy Youssef of New Brunswick, New Jersey, likes being on Facebook, but she also intends to start posting video on Bonzo Me just in case she shares something that becomes a big hit. “We are living in an age when the things you post on the Internet can go viral, so you may as well get paid for it,” she says. “It’s time to spread the wealth.”

Audit: NASA doesn’t have the money for big rockets WASHINGTON (AP) — NASA doesn’t have enough money to get its new, $12 billion rocket system off the ground by the end of 2017 as planned, federal auditors say. The Government Accountability Office issued a report Wednesday saying NASA’s Space Launch System is at “high risk of missing” its planned December 2017 initial test flight. The post-space shuttle program would build the biggest rockets ever — larger than the Saturn V rockets which sent men to the moon — to send astronauts to asteroids and Mars. “They can’t meet the date with the money they have,” report author Cristina Chaplain said. She said it wasn’t because the space agency

had technical problems with the congressionally-required program, but that NASA didn’t get enough money to carry out the massive undertaking. The GAO report put the current shortfall at $400 million, but did say NASA was “making solid progress” on the rocket program design. NASA’s launch system officials told the GAO that there was a 90 percent chance of not hitting the launch date at this time. This usually means NASA has to delay its test launch date, get more money or be less ambitious about what it plans to do, said former NASA associate administrator Scott Pace, space policy director at George Washington University.

Nation & World Plane crashes in Taiwan, killing 47

Around the World Solemn ceremony held as 40 bodies from jetliner shot down return to Dutch soil EINDHOVEN, Netherlands — Victims of the Malaysian jetliner shot down over Ukraine returned at last Wednesday to Dutch soil in 40 wooden coffins, solemnly and gently carried to 40 identical hearses, flags at half-staff flapping in the wind. The carefully choreographed, nearly silent ceremony contrasted sharply with the boom of shells and shattered glass in eastern Ukraine as pro-Russian rebels fought to hang onto territory and shot down two Ukrainian fighter jets. The bold new attack showed the separatists are not shying away from shooting at the skies despite international outrage and grief at the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. Even though they are still unidentified, the corpses that arrived on two military transport planes in Eindhoven were embraced by a nation unmoored by the loss of so many people caught in someone else’s faraway war. Boys going to visit their grandparents, a flight attendant hurrying to get home, a bouncer heading to see his sweetheart were among the 298 victims of the jetliner that was blown out of the sky on July 17, intensifying anger at the separatists suspected of bringing it down with a surface-toair missile. Nearly a week later, international investigators still don’t have unfettered access to the crash site, some remains have yet to be recovered, and armed men roam the region, defying their government.

Top US diplomat pushes for cease-fire as Gaza families flee heavy fighting in south GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The United States announced signs of progress in cease-fire talks Wednesday, but prospects for a quick end to the fighting were dim as Palestinian families fled fierce battles in southern Gaza and the death toll rose to at least 695 Palestinians and 34 Israelis. Underscoring the challenges facing international negotiators shuttling around the Middle East in a high-profile bid to end the bloodshed, the leader of Hamas insisted the Islamic militants would not relent until their main demand of lifting an Egyptian-Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip is met. On the ground, meanwhile, Israeli troops backed by tanks and aerial drones clashed with Hamas fighters armed with rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles on the outskirts of Khan Younis, killing at least eight militants, according to a Palestinian health official. Hundreds of people fled their homes as the battle unfolded, flooding into the streets with what few belongings they could carry, many with children in tow. They said they were seeking shelter in nearby U.N. schools. “The airplanes and airstrikes are all around us,” said Aziza Msabah, a resident of the city in the southern Gaza Strip. “They are hitting the houses, which are collapsing upon us.” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who met for the second time this week with United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon, flew to Israel on an Air Force jet, despite a ban imposed a day earlier by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on commercial flights into Ben-Gurion Airport because of Hamas rocket fire nearby. The FAA extended the ban Wednesday and many major European carriers also canceled more flights due to security concerns.

Jury hears opening remarks in Detroit-area porch shooting; defense says man was afraid DETROIT — A suburban Detroit man who killed an unarmed woman on his porch was rocked out of sleep by a series of “boom, boom, boom” pounding sounds outside his home, causing him to grab a shotgun, open the front door and fire, a defense lawyer told jurors during opening statements Wednesday. Theodore Wafer is on trial and claiming self-defense in the death last year of Renisha McBride, 19, in Dearborn Heights. But prosecutors have charged the 55-year-old with second-degree murder, saying there was no reason to use deadly force instead of calling police. Defense attorney Cheryl Carpenter repeatedly told jurors that they need to put themselves in Wafer’s shoes. Raising and lowering her voice for dramatic effect, she portrayed him as a man under siege in his own home around 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 2. Wafer and McBride didn’t know each other. She ended up on his porch 3 ½ hours after crashing her car into a parked car about a half-mile away in Detroit. An autopsy found her blood-alcohol level was about 0.22, which is nearly three times above Michigan’s legal limit for driving. Asleep in his recliner, Wafer heard pounding at a side door — “boom, boom, boom, boom” — Carpenter said. He dropped to the floor, couldn’t find his cellphone and then heard more pounding at the front door, she added.

Back to a bleak future: Deported Honduran families flown home by US face few options TOCOA, Honduras — Elsa Ramirez already had lost two brothers to violence in this remote Caribbean region when co-workers handling clandestine cocaine flights from South America murdered her husband four months ago. Then the killers came looking for her. Ramirez had seen Facebook messages and heard from relatives that mothers travelling to the United States with children would be allowed to stay if they made it across the border, so she took off for the North with her 8-year-old, Sandra, and 5-year-old Cesar, named for his dead father. Two weeks and many thousands of miles later, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement flight brought Ramirez back to the badlands of Honduras in Colon province, still fearing her husband’s killers and now lacking a plan for survival.

Texas deployment of troops to border echoes previous push amid election concerns McALLEN, Texas — When Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced the deployment of up to 1,000 armed National Guard troops to the Mexican border he was speaking to voters in Iowa as much as Texas. The one-time and possible future presidential candidate is in the waning months of his third and final term as governor. His visits to Iowa, including the weekend before his National Guard announcement, suggest he is considering another run for the Republican presidential nomination. If Perry’s call for troops to the border sounds familiar, that’s because it’s not new. In early 2009, as he was running for re-election, Perry urged then Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to deploy 1,000 troops along the border in Texas. At the time Perry was quick to note that his concerns focused on the growing violence from Mexico’s warring drug cartels and the potential for a spillover into U.S. cities, including nearby El Paso. — The Associated Press

TAIPEI, Taiwan — A plane attempting to land in stormy weather crashed on a small Taiwanese island late Wednesday, killing 47 people and wrecking houses and cars on the ground. The ATR-72 operated by Taiwan’s TransAsia Airways was carrying 58 passengers and crew when it crashed on Penghu in the Taiwan Strait between Taiwan and China, authorities said. The plane was arriving from the city of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan. Two people aboard the plane were French citizens and the rest Taiwanese, Transport Minister Yeh Kuang-shih told reporters. The twin-engine turboprop crashed while making a second landing attempt, Yeh said. The crash of flight GE222 was Taiwan’s first fatal air accident in 12 years and came after Typhoon Matmo passed across the island, causing heavy rains that continued into Wednesday night. Some 200 airline flights had been canceled earlier in the day due to rain and strong winds. The official death toll was 47, according to Wen Chiahung, spokesman for the Penghu disaster response center. He said the 11 other people were injured. Authorities were looking for one person who might have been in a house that was struck by wreckage, Wen said. A car was crushed by a toppled wall but Wen said no one was in it. President Ma Ying-jeou called it “a very sad day in the history of Taiwanese aviation,” according to a spokesman for his office, Ma Wei-kuo, the government’s Central News Agency reported. The plane came down in the village of Xixi outside the airport. Television stations showed rescue workers pulling bodies from wreckage. Photos in local media showed firefighters using flashlights to look through the wreckage, and buildings

Rescue workers survey the wreckage of TransAsia Airways flight GE222 which crashed while attempting to land in stormy weather on the Taiwanese island of Penghu, late Wednesday. A transport minister said dozens of people were trapped and feared dead.

damaged by debris. Penghu, a scenic chain of 64 islets, is a popular tourist site about 150 kilometers (90 miles) southwest of the Taiwanese capital, Taipei. Residents said they heard thunder and then what sounded like an explosion, the news agency said. It cited the Central Weather Bureau as saying there were thunderstorms in the area. “I heard a loud bang,” a local resident was quoted as saying by television station TVBS. “I thought it was thunder, and then I heard another bang and I saw a fireball not far away from my house.” About 200 military personnel were sent to help recover the people who were on the plane, Taiwanese Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Luo Shou-he said, according to the news agency. The ministry said military vehicles and ambulances were rushing people to hospitals and an air force rescue team was on standby to transfer survivors to

Taiwan’s main island if needed for treatment, the agency reported. The flight left Kaohsiung at 4:53 p.m. for Magong on Penghu, according to the head of Taiwan’s Civil Aeronautics Administration, Jean Shen. The plane lost contact with the tower at 7:06 p.m. after saying it would make a second landing attempt. Visibility as the plane approached was 1,600 meters (one mile), which met standards for landing, and two flights had landed before GE222, one at 5:34 p.m. and the other at 6:57 p.m., the aviation agency reported. Shen said the plane was 14 years old. The Central News Agency, citing the county fire department, said it appeared heavy rain reduced visibility and the pilot was forced to pull up and make the second landing attempt. Taiwan was battered by Matmo overnight Tuesday, and the Central Weather Bureau warned of heavy rain Wednes-

day evening, even after the center of the storm had moved west to mainland China. In Taipei, TransAsia Airways’ general manager, Hsu Yi-Tsung, bowed deeply before reporters and tearfully apologized for the accident, the news agency said. “As TransAsia is responsible for this matter, we apologize. We apologize,” Hsu said. Hsu said the carrier would take relatives of passengers to Magong on Thursday morning and would spare no effort in the rescue and in handling the aftermath, the report said. Taiwan’s last major aviation disaster also was near Penghu. In 2002, a China Airlines Boeing 747 broke apart in midair and crashed into the Taiwan Strait, killing all 225 people aboard. In October 2013, a Lao Airlines ATR-72 crashed during a heavy storm as it approached Pakse Airport in southern Laos, killing all 49 people on board.

Social Security spends $300M on ‘IT boondoggle’ WASHINGTON — Six years ago the Social Security Administration embarked on an aggressive plan to replace outdated computer systems overwhelmed by a growing flood of disability claims. Nearly $300 million later, the new system is nowhere near ready and agency officials are struggling to salvage a project racked by delays and mismanagement, according to an internal report commissioned by the agency. In 2008, Social Security said the project was about two to three years from completion. Five years later, it was still two to three years from being done, according to the report by McKinsey and Co., a management consulting firm. Today, with the project still in the testing phase, the agency can’t say when it will be completed or how much it will cost. In the meantime, people filing for disability claims face long delays at nearly every step of the process — delays that were supposed to be reduced by the new processing system. “The program has invested $288 million over six years, delivered limited functionality, and faced schedule delays as well as increasing stakeholder concerns,” the report said. As a result, agency leaders have decided to “reset” the program in an effort to save it, the report said. As part of that effort, Social Security brought in the outside consultants from McKinsey to figure out what went wrong. They found a massive technology initiative with no one in charge — no single person responsible for completing the project. They issued their report in June, though it was not publicly released. As part of McKinsey’s recommendations, acting Social Security Commissioner Carolyn Colvin appointed Terrie Gruber to oversee the project last month. Gruber had been C

an assistant deputy commissioner. “We asked for this, this independent look, and we weren’t afraid to hear what the results are,” Gruber said in an interview Wednesday. “We are absolutely committed to deliver this initiative and by implementing the recommendations we obtained independently, we think we have a very good prospect on doing just that.” The revelations come at an awkward time for Colvin. President Barack Obama nominated Colvin to a full six-year term in June, and she now faces confirmation by the Senate. Colvin was deputy commissioner for 3½ years before becoming acting commissioner in February 2013. The House Oversight Committee is also looking into the program, and whether Social Security officials tried to bury the McKinsey report. In a letter to Colvin on Wednesday, committee leaders requested all documents and communications about the computer project since March 1. The letter was signed by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the Oversight committee, and Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and James Lankford, R-Okla. They called the project “an IT boondoggle.” The troubled computer project is known at the Disability Case Processing System, or DCPS. It was supposed to replace 54 separate, antiquated computer systems used by state Social Security offices to process disability claims. As envisioned, workers across the country would be able to use the system to process claims and track them as benefits are awarded or denied, and claims are appealed. But as of April, the system couldn’t even process all new claims, let alone accurately track them as they wound their way through the system, the report said. In all, more than

380 problems were still outstanding, and users hadn’t even started testing the ability of the system to handle applications from children. “The DCPS project is adrift, the scope of the project is ambiguous, the project has been poorly executed, and the project’s development lacks leadership,” the three lawmakers said in their letter to Colvin. Maryland-based Lockheed Martin was selected in 2011 as the prime contractor on the project. At the time, the company valued the contract at up to $200 million, according to a press release. McKinsey’s report does not

specifically fault Lockheed but raises the possibility of changing vendors, and says Social Security officials need to better manage the project. Gruber said Social Security will continue to work with Lockheed “to make sure that we are successful in the delivery of this program.” Steve Field, a spokesman for Lockheed Martin, would only say that the company is committed to delivering the program. Nearly 11 million disabled workers, spouses and children get Social Security disability benefits. That’s a 45 percent increase from a decade ago.

Sullivan Seante campaign reserves post-primary air time JUNEAU (AP) — Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Dan Sullivan has reserved some air time past the Aug. 19 primary. Records filed with the Federal Communications Commission show Sullivan’s campaign reserved time in the fall on at least two TV stations. Sullivan spokesman Mike Anderson says the campaign is not assuming anything but fully expects Sullivan to be the nominee. He said, as such, the campaign needs to be ready to fight on Aug. 20. Anderson said by email that it’s a smart strategy given the intense competition for post-primary airtime. Sullivan is one of the three highest-profile candidates vying for the Republican nomination. The others are Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell and Joe Miller. Democratic Sen. Mark Begich is seeking re-election.

Tourist train derails in Skagway By MARK THIESSEN Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — A popular tourist train derailed Wednesday in southeast Alaska, and nine people suffered non-lifethreatening injuries, officials said. The derailment occurred during the afternoon run of the White Pass & Yukon Route tourist train, which goes from Skagway, Alaska, into Canada. There were few immediate details of what happened, but railroad President John Finlayson said the train derailed as it reached the White Pass Summit. State officials said they weren’t sure late Wednesday afternoon how many cars derailed or whether the accident even occurred in Alaska or Canada. The National Transportation Safety Board was informed of the accident, but it wasn’t immediately clear if rail safety personnel would investigate. Medical workers went to the scene, where responders outnumbered the injured, said Jeremy Zidek, a spokesman for the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Initial reports had as many as 12 people injured. Power was restored to the train, and it brought everyone back to Skagway, about 100 miles northwest of Juneau, railroad officials said without immediately being able to provide more details. The injured were taken to a clinic in Skagway, said Buckwheat Donahue, tourism director for the municipality. Some already had been released before 6 p.m., approximately three hours after the derailment. Coast Guard planes and other air ambulances were on standby in case they were needed to transport the injured, but that didn’t appear to be necessary, Donahue said. Most of the people on the train suffered “scratches and bruises,” he said. Bartlett Regional Hospital in the state capital was told to prepare for as many as 25 victims, Juneau radio station KTOO reported. That number was later downgraded before the warning was canceled. The train is a popular tourist attraction, taking passengers on a three-hour, 40-mile roundtrip tour out of Skagway. It climbs to 2,865 feet at White Pass Summit before it turns around and heads back, Finlayson said. He said the White Pass Summit trip is the railroad’s most popular, offering passengers the views they were promised

on an Alaska vacation: mountains, glaciers, waterfalls and even glimpses of the trails used by miners hoping to make it rich in the 1898 gold rush stampede. Donahue said four large cruise ships were in town Wednesday, swelling Skagway’s population of 927 by 10,000 people. There were an additional thousand independent visitors in town, he said. Up to seven train trips were canceled after the derailment, leaving many people with about four unscheduled hours. “Everybody’s been pretty understanding about it,” he said. The cause of the derailment remains under investigation. “We’re doing our very best to try to gather information as quickly as possible,” Finlayson said.

She said local business like her distillery, hotels and restaurants all depend on one another to make a living and the bed tax will help to grow tourism businesses. “In my mind when I think about it, I absolutely comprehend it as a community growth tax,” she said. Dan Michaels, general manager of Kenai Princess Lodge in Cooper Landing, asked whether all tourism businesses should have a tax to support the promotion of the Kenai Peninsula. “I’m definitely in favor of a broad-based tourism tax rather than a targeted bed tax,” he said. The assembly also debated the issue and amended to the ordinance to reduce the tax from 4 percent to 3 percent. At its July 1 meeting, the body changed the ordinance,

which originally called for 75 percent of the proceeds to fund tourism promotion and 25 percent to be used for school purposes, so that the tax collected would be used primarily to promote tourism. Also at the previous meeting, assembly member Dale Bagley proposed to reduce the tax to 3 percent. With an excused member, the vote tied and failed. With a full body, Bagley proposed changing the tax from 4 percent to 3 percent again. The amendment passed 5-4. The 3 percent tax would bring in an estimated total of $1.6 million with $775,243 collected in unincorporated areas of the borough to be used for tourism promotion, Bagley said. The tax revenue collected within cities would go to those cities. Assembly member Bill Smith, who sponsored the ordinance, said while the amount of tax collected within the cities will go back to the cities for promotion and support, there is

no requirement for what percentage of the proceeds will fund each of those. “But I would submit that in those communities that there are city councils that direct where the money goes,” he said. “And they are going to be very sensitive to what the voices of the community are saying, especially the hotel industry about how to direct those funds.” While the ordinance is assembly member-sponsored, Pierce said it is “disingenuous” to say that the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council didn’t assist with its creation. The borough provides $300,000 to KPTMC to market the peninsula and while KPTMC wouldn’t necessarily be the agency selected to continue promoting tourism, Pierce called the bed tax a “tax grab.” “That’s the problem with America today,” Pierce said. “It’s too easy. The solution and the answer to it is, ‘We’ll just get more taxes. We’ll raise

A-7

more taxes.’ … Look at the business plan you’re currently in and look at how you can deliver the same level of services at a lower dollar and be more efficient at it.” Ogle agreed with Pierce and said there are other options. Assembly member Brent Johnson said KPTMC has worked hard to come up with a funding mechanism so it no longer has to annually request borough funding. The City of Seward enacted a 4 percent bed tax in 1996. Assembly member Sue McClure, who represents Seward, said the tax has benefited the city and that many of the citizens she represents would like to see a borough-wide bed tax. “I’d like to see how the voters weigh in on this,” she said. … “And this may be the thing that brings the people out to vote.” Kaylee Osowski can be reached at kaylee.osowski@ peninsulaclarion.com.

Bronco’s owner steps down after 30 years

Pat Bowlen, 70, hands reigns of Denver franchise over to team president due to dementia concerns ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Even as dementia began to rob him of some of his fondest memories over the past few years, Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen reported to work every day to oversee multimillion-dollar upgrades to the team’s training facilities and roster. So his absence from Dove Valley headquarters on Wednesday as players reported for physicals on the eve of training camp was as jarring as the announcement that the 70-yearold Bowlen was giving up control of the team because of Alzheimer’s disease. “This place will never be the same,” a choked-up general manager John Elway said. “... It’s going to be very hard to not see him walk through the front

doors every day.” Yet, Elway and team president Joe Ellis pledged to continue Bowlen’s legacy and winning culture he fostered during his long stewardship of the franchise. Ellis is adding the title of chief executive officer and will have final say on all matters. “Mr. Bowlen has entrusted Joe to take his spot and he couldn’t have appointed a better guy to step in for Pat,” Elway said. “Joe’s a guy that bleeds orange and blue.” Ownership of the franchise is held in a trust Bowlen set up more than a decade ago in hopes that one of his seven children will one day run the team, Ellis said Bowlen asked him to run that trust.

Elway, who brought Bowlen two Super Bowl rings during his Hall of Fame playing career, demurred when asked if he aspired to one day own the team. “That family owns the Broncos. Pat Bowlen still owns the Broncos. We have total respect for that,” Elway said. “They’ve hired me to run the football operations and I’m thrilled to do that. I work for Pat still, as well as the Bowlen family, and I’m going to conti nue to do that.” Ellis said that with Bowlen no longer able to run the team, the community and fan base deserved to know what was going on, so the family agreed to make public the condition he’s dealt with privately for several years. “Alzheimer’s has taken so much

from Pat, but it will never take away his love for the Denver Broncos and his sincere appreciation for the fans,” Bowlen’s wife, Annabel, said in a statement. After acknowledging in 2009 that he suffered short-term memory loss, Bowlen stepped back from day-to-day operations in 2011 when he promoted Ellis to president. For the first time this offseason, Ellis represented the Broncos at the annual owners meetings. Under Bowlen’s guidance, the Broncos won six AFC titles and two Super Bowls. At 307-203-1, Bowlen and New York Giants founder Tim Mara are the only three-decade owners in pro football history to win 60 percent of their games. The Broncos’ 186 home victo-

ries are the most in the NFL since he bought the team in 1984, when Elway was his quarterback, and the Broncos’ five losing seasons during those 30 years are the fewest in the league over that span. Bowlen was known as much for his humility as his competitive fire, doing his best to stay out of the spotlight even as he built a winning culture and a fan base that extends throughout the Rocky Mountain region. He was instrumental in the league’s explosive growth at its longtime chairman of the broadcast committee, Ellis said, and Elway said Bowlen deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “I’d love (his bust) to be right next to mine,” Elway said.

Majka wins stage 17 of Tour, Nibali continues to bear yellow JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press

PLA D’ADET, France (AP) — On the last of four Pyrenees ascents, Rafal Majka winked at a French TV camera and tugged playfully at a motorcycle’s antenna. Even this late in the Tour de France, the Polish rider made winning look easy as he took Stage 17 on Wednesday. For Vincenzo Nibali, the second ride in the mountains on France’s border with Spain was more serious. “The Shark” nibbled yet more seconds away from several of his closest challengers, and the yellow jersey that he has worn for all but two days of the race seemed to fit just a little more tightly ahead of the finish Sunday in Paris. Nibali was even businesslike

with his own prime minister, imploring him not to get too ahead of himself in celebration. “It’s true that I received a text message from Matteo Renzi, who invited me to Chigi Palace to celebrate my victory,” the cautious Sicilian said about the premier’s official residence. “I replied that only after winning — if I do so — I’ll be able to say that I’ll be present.” The 124.5-kilometer (77mile) trek Wednesday was the shortest stage in this year’s Tour. It covered three hard Category 1 ascents from SaintGaudens and a final push up to Pla d’Adet ski station above the town of Saint-Lary-Soulan. Majka, who also won Stage 14 in the Alps, again showed he’s the best climber in this Tour and tightened his grip on the polka dot jersey awarded to the race’s

King of the Mountains. Giovanni Visconti got the action going on the last climb with a solo breakaway with about nine kilometers (5 1/2 miles) left, but could not hold off Majka. Visconti, who also is Sicilian, was second, 29 seconds back, and Nibali was third, 46 seconds behind. With a last Pyrenean day ahead Thursday, Majka could ensure that he takes the red-dot jersey home. His closest rival for it when the stage started was Spain’s Joaquim Rodriguez, who swatted the air in frustration at Majka when the Pole broke away on the last climb. Majka said he felt “comfort” in the last five kilometers in part because he’d been saving up energy a day earlier by riding easier. He finished in a bunch 24 1/2 minutes behind

Australian teammate Michael Rogers, who won Stage 16. By Wednesday, “I felt really, really good in the last climb,” Majka said, after tapping his chest, thrusting his arms skyward and shouting in joy at the victory. “For me, when there are a lot of climbs, it’s the best.” There was a time when seemingly effortless victories smacked of something more sinister at the Tour: the use of performance-enhancers. Few know the scars of cycling’s doping past more than Majka’s own manager at the Tinkoff-Saxo Bank team, Bjarne Riis. Once a national hero in Denmark after winning the 1996 Tour, he admitted to using blood-booster EPO more than a decade later — and was vilified for it. He laid low for a while, but then returned to the

pro cycling world. “I promised Bjarne today that I would win the stage,” said Majka. The echoes of doping resonated Wednesday on the grassy Pyrenean mountainside: The last times that Saint-Lary-Soulan hosted Tour stage finishes were in 2001 and 2005 — won by Lance Armstrong and teammate George Hincapie. Those wins were later stripped because of doping. Their names have been crossed out in the official Tour history book. Cycling has made great strides in fighting doping with enhanced blood and urine testing, along with the biological passport program, but few experts would claim that the peloton today is entirely clean. Nibali, who has called himself a “flag-bearer of anti-doping”,

made his latest case to become the first Italian to win cycling’s showcase race in 16 years — since Marco Pantani, who was once convicted for doping. Nibali gained just under a minute on four of his closest rivals. Second-placed Alejandro Valverde of Spain, who made a valiant recovery on the last ascent to avoid even more damage, now trails by 5 minute, 26 seconds. The exception was JeanChristophe Peraud of France, who hugged closely on the leader’s back wheel and finished fourth. With his performance, the 37-year-old Frenchman made it an even closer race for the podium spots. He is fourth overall, 6:08 behind Nibali, but just eight seconds slower than fellow Frenchman Thibaut Pinot, in third.

Fishing report: Sockeye on By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

While the strength of incoming schools fluctuates, sometimes hourly, sockeye salmon are still the best bet for anglers on the Kenai and Kasilof rivers.

Sockeye Whether dipnetting or fishing with a rod and reel the targeted species right now is sockeye salmon, said assistant area management biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Jason Pawluk. It has been a strange season for sockeye salmon, Pawluk said. The groups swimming through the Kenai River have been spotty, appearing in large numbers for only two to four hours at a time. The average numbers per

day range between 20,00050,000. The record high for this season so far was 63,000 in one day, according to Fish and Game fish counts data. The fishery should be still fishable for the next few weeks, but it is likely the condensed groups will keep coming through in short bursts.

Kings The king salmon season is coming to a close, with a very real chance that the run won’t reach it’s escapement goal, Pawluk said. The low numbers may result in even further restrictions in regulations on fishing the species in the coming weeks. “Currently we are not projecting a good run,” Pawluk said. “It’s on the edge right now.”

Fishing for the scarce species has been almost identical on the Kenai and Kasilof rivers, Pawluk said. The very little effort exerted by anglers has yielded good success, he said.

Resident Species Fishing for rainbow trout and Dolly Varden will likely continue to improve over the rest of the summer season, Pawluk said. At this point with so much food matter entering the streams, in the form of the discarded sockeye salmon carcasses, the fish will continue to concentrate where fishing is already taking place. Any imitation flesh pattern or egg bead imitation will draw the two species as they become more used to seeking the fish carcasses and spawning salmon eggs as a food source.

Teen craft nights boost creativity By JENNIFER FORKER Associated Press

A few months ago, I launched a diabolical plan to entice my teenage daughters to spend more time with me, and to semishelter them from the maddening world. I started a Friday Crafting Night for my two girls and their friends. Brad Sachs, a psychologist who works with adolescents and families, calls family crafting “a lovely metaphor for what parents need to do at this point in child development. “We can’t abdicate our authority; they still need us. On the other hand, we can’t craft them. We need to supply them with the materials and the capacity to craft themselves.” Teenagers want to spend time with us — on their terms, says Sachs, of Columbia, Maryland. For crafting nights, that means they pick the friends, the food and the crafts; I pull

‘Snowpiercer’ a thought-provoking ride “Snowpiercer” SnowPiercer 2 hours, 6 minutes I find it a depressing fact of life, but more and more small, independent, or unique foreign films are premiering on VOD (video on-demand — basically streaming online) instead of in theaters. If the movie is high profile enough, such as this week’s “Snowpiercer,” the movie will come out in theaters and VOD simultaneously, but only in big cities or niche theaters. I’d heard a lot about this movie, was excited to see it, and in the end, enjoyed it. But I won’t get the experience that the filmmakers had in mind when they designed the film — I won’t see it on the big screen in a theater with an audience. VOD is convenient and potentially a cheaper option than going out to a movie, but is it worth the trade-off? Not for me. Chris Evans, otherwise known as

Sometime in the very near future, the movie posits, scientists battling global warming come up new chemical compound which, when introduced into the atmosphere, is supposed to cool the planet gradually to a manageable temperature. Instead, due to some unknown miscalculation, the experiment plunges the planet into a complete global ice-age. Everyone everywhere perishes in the frigid temperatures.

Everyone, that is, except for those who were lucky enough to make it onto the Train. The Train, Wilford’s train, is the result of a fabulously wealthy man’s quixotic attempt to create a track to circumnavigate the globe, and an engine to run on it. Never stopping, generating its own power, the Train makes a pass around the globe once a year, and has been doing so every year for almost 20, without fail. In the intervening years, in the absence of outside stimulus, the Train has become a kind of religion, with Wilfred its deity. In the front of the train, the wealthy live lives of ease and indulgence, while in the tail end, the poor and disenfranchised scrabble over scraps just to survive. Life is hard, and made harder by periodic visits from the front section to kidnap people from the tail for unknown sinister purposes. Curtis is planning to change things, and, See REEL, page B-3

it all together and step back (but stick around — I’m here to connect and get crafty, too). Teenagers also want (and need) to build independence and identities separate from their families, but our society places too much emphasis on that and not enough on their need to connect, says Sachs, author of “The Good Enough Teen: How to Raise Adolescents with Love and Acceptance (Despite How Impossible They Can Be)” (HarperCollins, 2005). “Of course you don’t want to suffocate them, but you also want to help them find ways to be with adults in healthy ways,” he says. Crafting nights are just one way. Hiking, playing games, sitting around a campfire — there are plenty of activities that foster family closeness. I opened crafting nights to my high-school girls’ friends — female and male — to gin up interest. Deanna Kaylor Lenz, of Overland Park, Kansas, says her daughters are hooked on crafting just with her. Years ago, she introduced Sydney, now 20, and Elyssa, 14, to scrapbooking. It didn’t take, but sewing, painting, photography, jewelry making, beadwork, knitting and upcycling used furniture did. “They’ll just sit with me and do whatever craft they’re working on. I have weird daughters who like to be with me,” Lenz says with a laugh. Four teens attended my first crafting night last spring to glitter cheap papier-maché boxes. Since then, we’ve hosted several crafting nights. Lenz suggests introducing teenagers to Pinterest, the online “pinning” site for inspirational ideas and images, and taking them shopping for supplies. My crafting nights fumbled along until daughters Hope Clarke, 16, and Grace Clarke, 15, found Pinterest. Now they craft on their own and bring ideas to crafting night. Recently, they wanted to make fake cupcakes by piping white caulk onto squatty mason jars and decorating them with glitter and faux gemstones. They also chose to make “Thought Bubbles” — glue-soaked yarn wrapped around balloons that create airy yarn orbs for hanging (after the balloons are popped). Both projects were found on Pinterest, the “bubbles” pinned by the youthful clothing store Free People. Bottom line: Teenagers will craft with you if a project instills a sense of achievement and pride. “Being able to say, ‘I made it,’ especially after a friend asks about an item — I think that’s a real inspiration,” says Lenz. My daughter Hope likes to make things for her bedroom. “I like to be creative,” she says. “I like crafting and talking and listening to music with my friends.” Sachs notes that teenagers spend a lot of time studying for school and college-entrance exams — not to mention keeping up on phones and other screens — and relatively little time developing their imaginations. “We underestimate the redemptive power of the creative spirit while raising children,” says Sachs, but it has “inestimable value for their development.”

LONDON — Model and TV personality Peaches Geldof died from a heroin overdose after relapsing from a battle to give up the drug, a British coroner ruled Wednesday. Coroner Roger Hatch said 25-year-old Geldof took a fatal dose of high-purity heroin shortly before she was found dead at her home south of London on April 7. An inquest heard that Geldof — daughter of Live Aid organizer Bob Geldof — was a heroin addict and had been taking the drug substitute methadone for more than two years in a bid to stay free of the opiate. Her husband, Thomas Cohen, told the hearing that

Geldof had started using heroin again in February. He said he had seen her flushing drugs she had hidden in the loft of their home down the toilet. Cohen found her body when he returned from a weekend away with the couple’s 2-yearold son, Astala. Their younger son, 1-year-old Phaedra, was in the house with his mother. Police found heroin and syringes in the house. A forensic scientist said the drug had a purity of 61 percent — much higher than the average drug sold on the street. A pathologist told the inquest that Geldof’s blood contained a high level of heroin, along with traces of codeine, methadone and morphine. There were puncture marks on her arms and legs.

Duran Duran sues fan club CHICAGO (AP) — Popular 1980s band Duran Duran is suing its own fan club. The group known for hits like “Notorious” and “Hungry Like the Wolf” accuses the suburban Chicago-based club of breaching contract by not paying the band promised revenue. The Chicago Sun-Times (http://bit.ly/1sRxoJ8 ) reports that Duran Duran’s lawsuit names Glenview-based Worldwide Fan Clubs, Inc. as the defendant. The suit was filed in Cook County Circuit Court this week. It says the band entered a 2010 contract allowing the club to collect memberships and sell merchandise. The contract also allegedly stipulates Duran Duran would get 75 percent of the profits. C

Inquests are held in Britain to determine the facts in sudden, violent or unexplained deaths. The coroner’s conclusion is a sad echo of the life of Geldof’s mother, Paula Yates, who died of a heroin overdose when Peaches was 11. “It’s said that the death of Peaches Geldof-Cohen is history repeating itself, but this not entirely so,” the coroner said. “By November last year she had ceased to take heroin as a result of the considerable treatment and counseling that she had received. “This was a significant achievement for her, but for AP Photo/Jonathan Short, File reasons we will never know prior to her death she returned In this Sept. 19, 2011, file photo, Peaches Geldof arrives for the Moet & Chandon Etoile Award, at a central London venue. to taking heroin.”

Working late in life, directors refuse to say cut The Associated Press

Visiting a retired Frank Capra at his Sierra Nevada hideaway, Clint Eastwood was baffled. “I always thought: ‘He could be making a film right now. He’s as lucid as could be. Here’s the great Frank Capra not doing it,’” Eastwood recalled of the famed director, who died in 1991 at 94, three decades after his last film. “I always thought, ‘I wonder why that is?’” Eastwood, who at 84 just released the musical “Jersey Boys” and wrapped shooting on the Navy SEAL drama “American Sniper,” isn’t the only filmmaker blowing past conventional retirement age. This Friday, Woody Allen, 78, will, like clockwork, release his latest, the French Riviera romantic comedy “Magic in the Moonlight.” He’s also already on to the next one, shooting in Rhode Island this summer. In June came “Venus in Fur,” from 80-year-old Roman Polanski. And in May, 83-year-old Jean-Luc Godard, the perpetual enfant terrible, premiered his 3-D “Goodbye to Language” at the Cannes Film Festival. Both European iconoclasts remain as mischievous in old age as Allen and Eastwood have been steadfast. Polanski’s film is a gloriously comic, self-referential gender play. Godard’s film — in which his dog played a starring role — was more experimental than most 25-yearold’s would dare. It was greeted in Cannes by an audience mem-

This photo shows director/producer, Clint Eastwood, left, and executive producer Frankie Valli on the set of Warner Bros. Pictures’ musical “Jersey Boys,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release. The big-screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical “Jersey Boys” is Eastwood’s 12th film as a director since turning 70.

ber’s cry: “Godard forever!” At a time when literary giants like Philip Roth, 81, and Alice Munro, 83, have quit their craft, many of cinema’s auteurs have stubbornly persisted, while at the same time churning out frequently acclaimed, often vibrant films in a youth-driven industry. “In Hollywood there is that kind of hackneyed, commercial thinking where they think, ‘Oh, this guy is over the hill, this guy can’t direct that kind of

picture,’” says Allen. “But the truth of the matter is that in my lifetime, there have been many directors like John Ford, John Huston, Billy Wilder who were wonderful as they got older and they made sometimes better pictures than they made when they were younger.” Certainly, film history is littered with directors who worked well past retirement age. Akira Kurosawa, Sidney Lumet and Robert Altman all worked into their 80s, produc-

ing some fine films: Altman’s “Gosford Park,” Kurosawa’s “Dreams,” Lumet’s “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead.” Huston, at 81, died months after the release of “The Dead,” his Oscar-nominated adaptation of the James Joyce story. The French film director Alain Resnais was active right up to his passing, at 91, in March. Such longevity would only be possible for widely admired filmmakers who still have the drive to tell a story and the in-

dustry weight to attract financing. Because of tight-fisted studios, it’s arguably harder today to get a movie made than ever before, adding to what’s already a hugely taxing profession. Martin Scorsese, 71, sounded slightly dejected by this part of contemporary moviemaking when releasing “The Wolf of Wall Street,” an explicit romp of a movie few would associate with a director in his 70s. But it also took years to get a green light. “The problem is, it’s too much,” Scorsese said last year. “It’s almost becoming that I want to do so much, and when you get to this vantage point, there’s not much time left.” Around the same time, Scorsese guessed he had about two movies left in him. Ridley Scott, 76, has mirrored Scorsese in prolificacy. Along with the Moses tale “Exodus: Gods and Kings” due out later this year, he has a dozen projects in development as a producer and plans for a “Blade Runner” sequel. But few have kept their edge like Scorsese. Late-period films are generally more placid things. Often, even a good film for a master filmmaker late in life is merely a footnote to their younger, more urgent work. Such a fear has previously prompted Quentin Tarantino, 51, to declare that he’ll never become “an old-man filmmaker.” He has instead suggested he will quit moviemaking around 60 so as to not dilute his filmography with weaker

Remote solutions to make life easier . . . Sez By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press

Remote controls, designed to make life easier and more convenient, have become so numerous in many homes that keeping track of them is a challenge all its own. There are often separate remotes for the TV, DVD player, cable box and sound system. And if you’ve got a more sophisticated set-up, or have retained your old VCR machine, you may well have a few more (gaming consoles, light dimmers, airconditioning units, etc.). Remotes tend to be annoyingly similar in size, shape and color, and have a pesky way of slipping between couch cushions, walking to various parts of the house, getting chewed by the dog or just — poof — vanishing. To help restore order, cable companies and professional organizers offer some suggestions:

Find a container Caddies made for remote

controls come in a huge range of prices and styles. There are clear Acrylic organizing cubes (US Acrylic), non-skid rubber with voluptuous curves in impossible-to-miss primary colors (J-Me Cozy Remote Control Tidy), faux-leather organizers in staid brown and black that rotate for convenience (Cosmos) and wooden organizing boxes with NFL team logos. For those loathe to park one more thing on an overworked coffee table, some caddies hang saddle-bag style over a chair or sofa armrest (Ikea). “Whatever you get, make sure it’s not the type of thing that will get tipped over by a stretching cat. Trays or low baskets are perfect, and drawers are terrific if you have a grabby toddler. Oh, and definitely don’t store it beside the TV,” said Liz Jenkins, a professional organizer in Franklin, Tennessee. “As with everything in your house, you should store it closest to where you’ll be using it. So it really has to have a home near your couch or chair.” Kevin Hall of Clutter No More, Inc. in San Diego says

rehashes. But such catalog care is of little concern for others, who continually filter their lives through a camera lens. Between the two of them, Eastwood and Allen have combined to make a staggering 20 films since turning 70. What compels them to make a film year after year? The answer, Allen said in an earlier interview, is pure distraction from sitting at home pondering, “Gee, life is meaningless. We’re all going to die.” “I get to get up in the morning and go into work and there’s Penelope Cruz, these beautiful women and scintillating guys — Alec Baldwin, Jesse Eisenberg,” said Allen. “So I’m distracted for the day with trivial problems.” If for Allen filmmaking is a way to order his day-to-day life, for Eastwood, it’s a means for staying young. Age, he says, is “a mental outlook.” Maintaining interest — in moviemaking or anything else — is his secret to life. One striking commonality between the likes of Allen, Eastwood and even Godard is that none are abundantly precious about their films. None, for example, are likely to go past take two or spend five years laboring over a project. Whatever keeps them going, one director has them all handily beat. The Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira is 105. Earlier this year, he shot his latest, a short about Portuguese history.

Your Answer must be filed with the Court at: 125 Trading Bay Drive, Suite 100, Kenai, AK 99611 not less than thirty (30) days after the last date of publication of this notice. In addition, a copy of your Answer must be sent to the Plaintiff's attorneys, Molloy Schmidt LLC, 110 S. Willow St., Suite 101, Kenai, AK 99611. If you fail to file your written Answer within the time required, a default judgment may be entered against you for the relief requested in thee Complaint. The Plaintiff brings an action to quiet title to, and for a declaratory judgment and damages regarding the real estate described as follows: LOT SIX (6), THOMACK SUBDIVISION 1968 ADDITION, according to the plat thereof, filed under Plat Number K-1575, Records of the Kenai Recording District, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska. Street Address: 16930 Dilligara Lane, Clam Gulch, AK 99568. The Plaintiff, HAROLD V. SMALLEY, and his spouse, ARLEEN S. SMALLEY, executed a Deed Of Trust on the real estate in favor of MARY E. LEFFEL, as beneficiary, to secure payment of a debt. The Deed of Trust on the real estate was recorded on August 5, 1981 at Book 174, Page 564, in the Kenai Recording District, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska. On or about October 3, 1983, the Plaintiff paid the debt in full to MARY E. LEFFEL, but the Deed of Trust has not been discharged of record and the security interest granted on the real estate under the Deed of Trust has not been released. This is an action requesting a judgment to (1) declare that the Plaintiff has satisfied the Deed of Trust by payment in full; or in the alternative, that the statute of limitations bars all claims that the Deed of Trust has not been satisfied by payment in full, and bars any other claims that Defendants may have to enforce or foreclose on the Deed of Trust; (2) to quiet title, determining that title in FAYE E. MACFARLANE, the current owner, is free and clear of any and all adverse claims by all defendants, and expunging and removing the Deed of Trust from the title to the real estate; (3) for damages; (4) for an award of litigation costs, attorney's fees, prejudgment and post-judgment interest; and (5) for such other and further relief, in favor of Plaintiff, as this Court deems to be just and proper. "ALL OTHER PARTIES OR PERSONS UNKNOWN Claiming a Right, Title, Estate, Lien, or Interest in the Real Estate described in the Complaint in this Action" are also joined as Defendants in this action because any such person or persons may claim an interest in the real estate that is adverse to the title in the real estate.

Crossword

Guest howls over dog’s attendance at wedding from ours. I believe in the rule of etiquette about avoiding the topics of politics and religion in mixed company. Well, somehow the conversation turned political. Voices were raised and I stood up and ended it. There are now many hurt feelings with the parties involved still disagreeing about what happened and how it was handled. I know my ac- Abigail Van Buren tions were extreme, but things were out of control and I was upset. How do I deal with this if we are invited to future events? — KEEPING THE PEACE DEAR KEEPING THE PEACE: You may be worrying needlessly, because you may not be invited to future events — at least until the next election is over. Whatever your friends were arguing about, while you had a right to speak up and say it was making you uncomfortable, because your reaction DEAR ABBY: We were recently at dinner with was “extreme,” you may have been as rude as the longtime friends whose political views are different others.

If you caused hurt feelings that evening, you should apologize, if you haven’t already. DEAR ABBY: A sibling died recently and I have received numerous sympathy messages in the form of cards, gifts and online posts. Do the people who send them typically expect a response? I feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of attention, and I worry that they’ll think I’m not appreciative if I don’t respond in kind. What is your advice? — GRIEVING BUT GRATEFUL DEAR GRIEVING BUT GRATEFUL: Their kindness should be acknowledged. To those who sent gifts and cards, a short note saying how much their support meant during this difficult time would be a gracious response. The online condolences could be handled with one email “blast” conveying the same thing, which shouldn’t be offensive to those who sent their sympathy that way. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

A baby born today has a Sun in Leo and a Moon in Cancer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 24, 2014: This year you often have strong emotional reactions to situations, but you tend to keep your feelings in. You lean toward not discussing a situation that evokes strong feelings from you. If you are single, you could attract the wrong person for you by not being true to yourself.

Wonderful wicker Dear Heloise: I have some wicker furniture. It is dirty, and I was wondering what is the best way to clean it. — Cheryl, via email Wicker is wonderful! If it’s indoor furniture, then all you need to do is pull out your vacuum and use the brush/ upholstery attachment. Also, take the furniture outside if you can, and turn it upside down to really shake loose some of the dust. If it needs a deeper clean, mix 2 pints of cool water and 1 tablespoon of salt, and apply to the wicker using a damp sponge or microfiber cloth. Don’t overwet; just wipe. After the solution has dried, scrub with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse with clean water on a clean cloth and let dry. This should get your wicker clean. For the future, dust or vaccum the piece often to keep dirt and dust from accumulating. — Heloise Reliable transportation Dear Heloise: A friend has an elderly mother who can no longer safely drive. Taking her car away was very traumatic for this involved and active lady. So as not to stifle her mother’s interests and assure safe transportation, the daughter contracted with a local taxi company to take her to the places she needs or desires to go. The daughter and the cab company agreed on a set amount of money, and the company agreed to use the same three drivers so she would recognize them. A winwin for all. — C.B., Huntington Beach, Calif. A win-win hint for sure! Yay for both parties — they worked it out! — Heloise

DEAR ABBY: Is it acceptable to bring a teacupsized dog to a wedding? The excuse was, “Well, the wedding was at the beach.” The pre-dinner and dancing were inside a high-end resort on the beach. The dog was taken inside these establishments. After a guest — a family member of the dog’s owner — asked the owner to remove the animal because the occasion was not about her and her dog but the bride and groom’s day, the owner put the dog in a carrying case and the dog returned to the wedding for the rest of the night. Only this one couple made an issue of it and they weren’t in the wedding party, but relations of the dog owner. What do you think? — DOGGONE DISGUSTED DEAR DOGGONE DISGUSTED: The rule of etiquette states that nothing should distract attention from the happy couple — and especially the bride — at the wedding. However, IF the dog owner had first asked for and received permission to bring the animal to the festivities, then it wasn’t rude and the relatives of the dog owner were wrong to intervene.
