Soldotna looks into unused properties By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Soldotna is identifying cityowned land parcels that will eventually be purchasable by the public through a bidding process. Director of Economic Development and Planning Stephanie Queen said the city has 22 unused pieces of property at this time. The city is looking into which of those can be used for

future projects, and which will be open to public bid slated for early spring 2015. “I am not aware that we have ever done this before,” Queen said. “Some municipalities do it regularly.” The project has been put before the council multiple times, Queen said. In June of 2013 she asked if the council was interested in analyzing plots to retain or sell them. John Mohorcich was hired

in April 2014, to as a consultant to advise the city through out the process, Queen said. He has completed the background checks, visual inspections and reviewing the deeds from the original acquirement of each property. “These properties were acquired … through foreclosure, some as a trade for other real property, and some with the intention of developing projects that never came to be,” accord-

ing to the memo from Queen submitted to the city council. The oldest parcel dates back to 1970, Queen said. In 1972 a piece of property was purchased to run a sewer line through. The sewer went in, but the property above it remains unused, she said. Mohorcich, who has worked in land management for three decades, said the process of analyzing properties is an exciting one.

APOC opinion sought on referendum activities

— The Associated Press

Correction In a Wednesday story titled “Wal-Mart shooting suspect denied bail” the reporter incorrectly listed Dylan Rink as the suspect’s husband based on information given by the defense attorney. Rink and Nelund are not married. In addition, Rink has not filed for divorce from Nelund as was reported, he has filed for custody of her children. The Clarion regrets the error.

Judge tosses lawsuit over refuge closures

In the news

JUNEAU — The leaders of the Alaska House and Senate have requested guidance on lawmakers expressing their opinions on ballot measures and the upcoming oil tax referendum. The Alaska Public Offices Commission is working on a draft advisory opinion in response to the request by House Speaker Mike Chenault and Senate President Charlie Huggins. The lawmakers do not single anyone out but seek an opinion on what a legislator can permissibly do with respect to the referendum and ballot measures. They ask if lawmakers can use their state emails or legislative websites to share their views on the referendum. They also ask if there would be any reporting requirements for use of the state email or phone systems for such activities, if allowed. Voters will decide the referendum Aug. 19.

“You never know what’s out there,” Mohorcich said. “You never know what people might be thinking about as an opportunity.” Mohorcich said the group of parcels owned by Soldotna is diverse. There is the potential for urban and housing development. He said it is not uncommon for cities to hold onto properties they have obtained. Sometimes projects just aren’t

Crane tips on Beaver Loop Road By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

Employees of Soldotnabased Endries Company overturned a crane Wednesday as it attempted to remove a portion of a culvert from a project site on Beaver Loop Road about a quarter mile from the road’s intersection with the Kenai Spur Highway. The crane was still on its side late Wednesday afternoon and a man on-site, Aron Endries, said pictures of the accident were not allowed. Aron Endries and company owner Peter Endries, later moved a piece of grading equipment in front of the

overturned crane. It was unclear how long it would take the company to turn over the crane. Project engineer Bill Nelson said Peter Endries was trying to round up the equipment to lift the crane. Nelson and Peter Endries said no one was injured during the accident. Employees of Endries Company, the general contractor for the project, were trying to move a 20-foot long section of an old culvert when the crane overturned, Nelson said. “I wasn’t there when the crane tipped over, so I don’t know the exact conditions,”

he said. The Beaver Loop culvert replacement project has been subjected to several delays since it began. Originally, it

was scheduled for completion in early June. Then project managers said it would be open to traffic July 26. Now See CRANE, page A-7

JUNEAU — A federal judge in Alaska has dismissed the state’s lawsuit over the closure of national wildlife refuges during the partial federal government shutdown last year. U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason called the case moot in siding with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Department of Interior, which asked for the case to be tossed. The case dates to last October, when the Fish and Wildlife Service restricted access to refuges nationwide because of the government shutdown. On Oct. 9, an official with the state Department of Fish and Game asked the federal agency if Fish and Game staff would be barred from entering the refuges for research and management activities. A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official responded that such activities would not be allowed, according to Gleason’s decision. After the state sued on Oct. 16, the federal agency clarified that the closure did not apply to research activities by Fish and Game, the order states. The lawsuit was filed as Congress was poised to pass legislation to end the shutdown. While refuges were reopened, the state persisted in its lawsuit, which was later amended to add the Alaska Professional Hunters Association as plaintiffs. The lawsuit said the closure violated provisions of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. In See SUIT, page A-7

Gold miners outraged at critical Nome letter NOME (AP) — Nome gold miners are expressing outrage about a city letter citing the “negative social impacts” of their industry. Miners stormed the Nome City Council meeting Monday night to voice their anger about the July 15 letter to the state Department of Natural Resources from city manager Josie Bahnke. In the letter, Bahnke wrote to DNR Commissioner Joe Balash that there has been some economic benefit from offshore mining, but those benefits are outweighed

by negative social impacts, KNOM reported. The letter refers to a 2011 lease sale that opened up the offshore dredging boom that brought millions in revenues for the state, but left Nome without money to accommodate increased port activity. The city is responsible for new costs, such as extra employees. But miners at Tuesday’s meeting were upset over a perceived slight by officials. “We’re feeling like you’re throwing rocks at us the way

‘We’re feeling like you’re throwing rocks at us the way some of this is written.’ — Kenny Hughes, Nome chapter of the Alaska Mining Association some of this is written,” said Kenny Hughes with the Nome chapter of the Alaska Mining Association. Bahnke said the city has not heard anything from the Department of Natural Resources since June. She apologized for C

any connotations in the letter, saying “it’s more or less, I guess, in response to the frustration with no response from DNR.” Many of the miners attending the meeting took umbrage with the claim that their work

brings only “some economic benefit” to Nome. “I’m an American,” said Homer resident Vern Atkinson, who owns a dredging operation in Nome and is financially compensated by the Discovery Channel for appearing in its “Bering Sea Gold” reality show. “And when I come to Nome, I’m a citizen of Nome — I got just as many rights as anybody else around here. I’m not taking a backseat to anybody.” Atkinson said officials are See MINERS, page A-7

Man finds calico lobster, gives it to aquarium HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) — A fisherman has caught a rare lobster that’s bright orange with dark blue spots. Josiah Beringer found the calico lobster in a trap on July 23 in the mouth of New Hampshire’s Hampton Harbor. He donated the 1.5-pound, 5-year-old male lobster to the Explore the Ocean World Oceanarium in Hampton. Beringer tells the Portsmouth Herald he lobster was found in an area known as Washerwoman Rock, an area between two rocks that gets its name from its “really rough” and “washing machine”-like waters. The aquarium’s Ellen Goethel says calico lobsters are the second rarest in the world, after albino lobsters. She says the spots are the result of a genetic pigmentation mutation occurring in 1 in every 30 million to 50 million lobsters.

Elaine Stritch mourned as funny By MARK KENNEDY AP Drama Writer

NEW YORK — Elaine Stritch was more than a Broadway actress. She was a New York institution, strolling around in a fur coat, pork pie hat or oversized sunglasses. She often wore shorts and ties, or just black stockings and a white flowing shirt. Her weapon of choice was the zinger. “I like anything I don’t know about,” she said in a 2010 interview with The Associated Press. “And I don’t like most of the things I do.” She also offered this: “The most horrible line in the English language for me is, ‘God, you haven’t changed a bit.’” Stritch, who became a sort of shorthand for acting longevity since she made her Broadway debut in “Loco” in 1946, died Thursday at 89 in her home state of Michigan — far from her adopted home of New York and her former longtime home and stage at the Carlyle Hotel. But Broadway and New York immediately sent their love. Liza Minnelli remembered her as “a true trail blazer. Her talent and spunk will be greatly missed by so many of us.” Lena Dunham said on Twitter: “May your heaven be a boozesoaked, no-pants solo show at the Carlyle.” Broadway’s marquees were to dim in her memory on Friday and a Twitter hashtag was born — #EverybodyRise. Although Stritch appeared in movies and on television, garnering three Emmys and finding new fans as Alec Baldwin’s unforgiving mother on “30 Rock,” she was best known for her stage work, particularly in her candid one-woman memoir, “Elaine Stritch: At Liberty,” and in the Stephen Sondheim musical “Company.” Stritch worked well into her late 80s, most recently as Madame Armfeldt in a revival of Sondheim’s musical “A Little Night Music” in 2010. She had built up so much goodwill that simply appearing onstage triggered a wave of applause, but she said she still tried to earn it every night. Her tart tongue also remained. “You know where I’m at in age?” she asked during the run. “I don’t need anything. That’s a little scary — when you know that the last two bras you bought are it. You won’t need any more. I’m not going to live long for any big, new discovery at Victoria’s Secret.” In 2013, Stritch retired to Michigan after 71 years in New York City and made a series of farewell performances at the Carlyle, where she lived for a decade. A documentary released in February showed her final years, complete with forgotten lyrics, touching moments and flashes of irrational anger. Someone asked her if she liked it. “I said I loved it, I just wish I wasn’t in it,” she replied. When she flew back to New York to promote the film — “Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me” — she was as feisty as ever and even unleashing the F-bomb on the “Today” show. Her life story was the basis of “At Liberty,” the show in which she explored her ups, downs and in-betweens. She discussed her stage fright, missed showbiz opportunities, alcoholism, battle with diabetes and love life, all interspersed with songs. It earned her a Tony Award in 2002 and an Emmy when it was later televised on HBO. In “Company” in 1970, Stritch played the acerbic Joanne, delivering a lacerating version of “The Ladies Who Lunch,” a classic Sondheim song dissecting the modern Manhattan matron.

What Others Say

Visitors galore With visitors to Alaska at an all-time

high, tourism is growing here. Alaska tallied 1,966,700 visitors between May 1, 2013 and April 30, 2014, according to the Alaska Division of Economic Development. The previous record came to 1,961,500 — 5,000 fewer — in 2007-08. This represents the most significant period of growth in a single year since 2005-06. It’s also the third consecutive year of growth after the 2008, 2009 and 2010 periods affected by the recession. The Alaska mystique is responsible for much of the visitor interest in Alaska, but it wouldn’t produce recordbreaking numbers without effective marketing. It also requires an open-for-business attitude, particularly when dealing with the airlines and cruise lines carrying visitors to the state. The fall and winter visitor volume for 2013-14 also saw an increase, about 4 percent above 2012-13, mostly related to an increase in international travel out of Fairbanks where Japan Airlines now flies. Domestic visitor exits out of the state increased by 4 percent between 2012-13 and 2013-14, mostly out of Anchorage. But Ketchikan also experienced a 4 percent increase. The Alaska Marine Highway System reported being down 24 percent for the most recent fall-winter. That represents a loss of 400 visitors, a decrease from 1,700 to 1,300. Non-resident ridership declined 17 percent in fallwinter 2013-14; that followed a fall-winter season with an 11-percent increase. AMHS officials attribute the decrease to reduced sailings to and from Bellingham and Prince Rupert. More than half of the visitor volume for 2013-14 (all seasons) can be attributed to the cruise lines; 51 percent or 999,600 visitors came to Alaska via cruise ship and another 4 percent (85,700) by AMHS ferry. Air travel accounted for 45 percent (881,400). The numbers speak to the value of the cruise ship industry in Alaska; it ferries the majority of visitors to and around the state. But more than the industry, it’s a validation of Alaska — not only its incredible scenery and natural resources, but its attitude toward the visitor and the businesses that accommodate visitors. Alaska has it when it comes to a place to see and experience. — Ketchikan Daily News, July 26

By GARRY TRUDEAU

‘A hell of a diplomatic foray’ If an Israeli high-level official were caught on a hot mic candidly commenting on Secretary of State John Kerry’s ill-fated act of Israel-Hamas peacemaking, he might call it “a hell of a diplomatic foray.” Kerry was caught sarcastically describing the Israeli offensive into Gaza as “a hell of a pinpoint operation” during his round of Sunday-show interviews two weeks ago, before telling his aide over the phone, “We’ve got to get over there,” and “It’s crazy to be sitting around.” Kerry’s belief in himself as the Indispensable Man is touchingly quaint. His conception of the U.S. secretary of state is apparently frozen in a time when it was a position of unparalleled power and respect. Those days are gone. Or as President Barack Obama might quip, to paraphrase his put-down of Mitt Romney’s foreign-policy views during one of the 2012 presidential debates, “John, the 1980s want their secretary of state back.” After six years of resetting, leading from behind, ending wars, nation building at home and pivoting to Asia, the U.S. has reduced itself to a husk of its former influence. When Kerry showed up in Cairo to meet with the president of Egypt, he was wanded by the guards, as if he had just wandered in from the airport security line. Kerry underlined his dubious relevance by his inability to secure a ceasefire, and his dubious wisdom by making

Letters to the Editor ACES is better for Alaskans This vote is about trust. Who do you trust? Governor Parnell? Legislative leaders employed by ConocoPhillips? The leaders of the oil industry, bankers, chambers of commerce and other special interest groups all trying to buy your vote? I, on the other hand, have no vested interest in ACES or SB21, except for three years of effort in evaluating oil taxes. I have no reason to mislead anyone. Careful study reaches one conclusion— ACES is better for all Alaskans. The North Slope oil fields are mature and declining and will continue to decline in the future—and yes, even under SB21. This fact is supported by the Alaska Department of Revenue: Revenue Sources Book, fall 2013. SB21 will lose C

it his overarching goal. At this point, after Israel has committed itself on the ground, the U.S. should be seeking to give it the time it needs to do as much damage as possible to Hamas’ military Rich Lowry infrastructure, instead of effectively bailing out the terror group. Kerry held an ill-advised confab in Paris with Qatar and Turkey, the patrons of Hamas. Even the Palestinian Authority blasted this as the “friends of Hamas” meeting. With the Egyptians, the Saudis, the Emiratis, the Jordanians and the Palestinian Authority all functionally on Israel’s side in the Gaza War, it should be in a superior diplomatic position, but its superpower patron evidently didn’t get the memo. By the time Kerry returned home, he had been showered with so much criticism by the Israelis that the U.S. government was saying it could endanger our relationship. The question raised by Obama administration foreign policy again and again is, How can self-styled Smart Power be so dumb and toothless? For all of Kerry’s failings, he is a relative giant among a foreign-policy team composed largely of political hacks and post-American declinists. At least Kerry retains some of the old Democratic Party belief in America’s importance in

billions for Alaska at high oil prices and even at current oil prices with escalating expenses. Additionally, North Slope oil leases need to be enforced or they should be cancelled. Governor Parnell has a history of consistently supporting Big Oil. His latest support came via an attempted reduction of TAPS tax valuation to $5.7 billion— off by $4.6 billion. How does that help Alaska? Legislative leaders (several are employed by Big Oil as pseudo-lobbyists) gave their employers a multi-billion dollar tax break. The legislature’s ethics rules permit corruption. However, two Republican senators, Bert Stedman of Sitka and Gary Stevens of Kodiak, un-

the world. His condemnation of Syria’s use of chemical weapons last year was a stirring moral indictment of the Assad regime -- although President Obama immediately undercut him when he abandoned his own “red lines.” So far, Kerry’s tenure as secretary of state is making Hillary Clinton’s undistinguished stint look impressive by comparison. But that’s mostly a matter of timing. It is his misfortune to be present at the unraveling, as crisis after crisis unfolds, with the administration lacking the interest or the tough-mindedness to effectively respond. It is impossible to find anywhere in the world where our position or alliances are stronger than they were six years ago. Incredibly enough, President Obama once called Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Islamist prime minister of Turkey, more than any foreign leader other than British Prime Minister David Cameron. Now, Obama hasn’t even talked to Erdogan in five months, and his erstwhile buddy condemns Israel as a “terror state.” One hopeful theory about Obama foreign policy was that, after serial humiliations and failures, it would recalibrate toward more assertiveness, like Jimmy Carter did after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. But he seems content with America’s new status in the world. John Kerry will just have to get used to it. Rich Lowry can be reached via email: comments.lowry@national.review.com

derstand ACES and SB21, and they intend to vote to repeal SB21. Big Oil leaders (BP, ConocoPhillips, Exxon)--were caught cheating the state on numerous occasions. Severe penalties should be enforced when the oil industry intentionally overcharges Alaska for expenses—as they have in the past. And, they’ve just spent $13 million to buy your vote for a multi-billion dollar tax break! The oil industry has not been trustworthy in the past and neither has the legislature. Why should you trust them now? Vote YES and repeal SB21. Tim Tilsworth Fairbanks

Liliana Aranda’s business began picking up in March. Her 4-year-old company, Faces By Liliana, gives facials, massages and other spa treatments in homes or offices in the San Francisco area. Her business has done well since its start, but she never needed to hire. When clients held spa parties for their friends, she looked for freelancers to help. In early spring, Aranda suddenly started getting more appointments. She attributes the bump in business to people splurging again after the recession and its aftermath. “They make a point of say-

ing, I’ve earned this, I’m going to treat myself, and I’m not afraid to spend a little more,” she says. The size of Aranda’s spa parties was larger than in the past — 11 to 14 people compared to six to eight. Revenue is up 20 percent so far this year. The increase in business made hiring three part-time employees who she could always rely on a necessity.

A region recovers The recovery in South Florida’s real estate market and economy has allowed Tadd Schwartz’s public relations firm to step up its hiring. Schwartz Media Strategies usually hired one or two employees annually the past six years, but in the last three months, he’s added three full-time staffers and two interns, putting his payroll at 17. That’s up from 12 staffers a year ago. Schwartz has been confident enough to hire before sealing a deal with new clients. He wants to have enough people on staff to hit the ground running when a contract is signed. “We want to position our firm so we’re not only able to service our clients, but be in a position where we don’t have to say no to the right client,” he

says. Schwartz Media’s revenue is up about 16 percent so far in 2014. If Schwartz lands two or three more big accounts, he says he will start recruiting again.

Order flood Publicity the last few months about Brad Barrett’s product Grill Grate sent orders for the backyard grill accessory soaring. Barrett, who was cautious while building his 7-year-old company, had six employees including himself and his wife. He expected that to be enough. But orders flooded in faster than expected, and over the Independence Day weekend, the Barretts had to fill orders themselves for their product, which creates a raised grilling surface for backyard grills. “We were inside the entire weekend. We shipped 500 packages the Monday after July 4,” he says. Barrett is now looking for two workers for the Cartersville, Georgia, company — one to help fill orders, and the other to handle administrative and marketing tasks. “We’ve waited perhaps a bit too long. Business is up substantially and the six of us are scrambling,” Barrett says. Barrett expected his revenue

to grow 40 percent in 2014, but sales of Grill Grate are already up 55 percent from this time last year.

Fewer holdouts When Microsoft Corp. ended support for its Windows XP operating system, forcing businesses and people to find alternatives, Marcus Networking was able to hire four people. The end of XP support on April 8 gave the technology seller and consultancy a boost owner Eric Marcus expects will last for several more years. Thousands of companies still need to replace PCs and servers using XP. “We’ve only made a small dent in the amount of replacements that need to be done,” says Marcus, whose company has 18 employees in Tempe, Arizona, and five in Woodland Hills, California. The economy is also a factor in Marcus’ 29 percent revenue surge this year. Small business clients are hiring workers who need computers. And companies that delayed replacing XP systems because of cash flow problems have more money. “They’re saying, ‘we’ve held out for so long, now we just have to do this,’” he says.

Lawyer sues GM on behalf of 658 plaintiffs DETROIT (AP) — A Texas lawyer has filed a lawsuit against General Motors on behalf of 658 people who were injured or killed in crashes allegedly caused by faulty ignition switches. The lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan in New York City names 29 people who were killed in crashes and 629 who were hurt. All the crashes occurred after GM emerged from bankruptcy protection in July of 2009. That makes them exempt from GM’s efforts to shield itself from claims due to crashes that occurred before the bankruptcy, attorney Robert Hilliard said in a statement. Hilliard also said he will ask judges for permission to file another 248 cases from before the bankruptcy, including 21 deaths. “It’s certainly not a legal given that GM will be successful in its attempts to use this ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ bankruptcy card,” said Hilliard, of Corpus Christi, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that GM knew about the defective switches that can cause engines to stall since as early as 2001, yet it didn’t recall any cars until this year. The switches can cut off the engine, knocking out power steering and brakes and disabling the air bags, which wouldn’t protect people in a crash. The lawsuit seeks in excess of $75,000 in damages for each plaintiff. The filing comes just days before compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg is to start taking injury and death claims

Chambers set schedules

NEW YORK — The longawaited surge in hiring at small businesses appears to be underway. Owners who resisted hiring after the recession are taking on workers to keep up with rising demand for products and services. Companies began stepping up their hiring pace in the spring. Faulkner Hyundai in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is adding seven people to its staff of 92 because new cars are selling at their fastest rate in eight years. The market for used cars is also strong. “Managers are actually getting involved in selling cars because we don’t have enough salespeople,” says Paul Selvaggi, president of the dealership and service center. Faulkner has hired a sales manager, its first new employee since the third quarter of last year. Up next: salespeople, workers to service cars and employees who develop new sources of revenue. Small businesses held off hiring until they had enough business to justify taking more risks. As recently as March, an American Express survey found 76 percent of owners planned to hire only when their revenue rose. The ripple effect from growth in construction and consumer spending are feeding the increase, says Susan Woodward, an economist who helps software maker Intuit compile its hiring surveys.

on behalf of GM. Feinberg, who handled claims for the BP Gulf Oil Spill and the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, has said GM has placed no limit on the total amount of money he can spend to compensate victims. Feinberg is to start taking claims on Friday and will accept applications through the end of the year. Those who settle with Feinberg must give up their right to sue. GM recalled 2.6 million small cars such as the Chevrolet Cobalt for defective switches

starting in February, touching off a recall crisis at the company that has ballooned to 29 million recalled vehicles. Of those, 17.3 million are to fix defective ignition switches. But only owners of the original 2.6 million small cars are eligible for compensation through Feinberg. GM says the small-car switches have caused at least 54 crashes and 13 deaths. Hilliard’s lawsuit includes crashes involving the original 2.6 million cars as well other cars with faulty switches. He

called the exclusion of some ignition switches from the compensation fund “GM madness at its best.” GM spokesman Jim Cain wouldn’t comment on Hilliard’s lawsuit, but said the company wants to do the right thing for people harmed by ignition switch issues with the Cobalt and other recalled small cars. “That’s why we engaged Kenneth Feinberg to independently design and administer a compensation program,” Cain’s statement said.

Obama order to expand labor rights for contractors WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is preparing to sign an executive order cracking down on labor violations by companies that contract with the federal government, the White House said Wednesday. Obama’s order will require companies seeking federal contracts valued at more than $500,000 to make any previous violations of labor laws public, a step the Obama administration hopes will incentivize companies to resolve labor disputes such as back wage claims. Federal agencies will be given more guidance on how labor violations should factor into their decision-making as they award lucrative contracts, officials said. In a bid to allow potential victims to have their day in court, the president’s order will also prohibit companies pursuing government contracts from requiring their workers to agree upfront to mandatory arbitration, in which an intermediary hears both sides and then makes a binding decision. That provision, which applies to new contracts exceeding $1 million, will affect disputes brought under the anti-discrimination section of the Civil Rights Act or to accusations of sexual assault or harassment.

Nation & World

Around the World 3 long-time Putin allies, including ex-judo partner, among 8 people hit with EU sanctions BRUSSELS — The European Union targeted Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle for the first time Wednesday for the Kremlin’s actions in Ukraine, subjecting three of his long-time associates to EU-wide asset freezes and travel bans. A total of eight people were added to the EU’s sanctions list for allegedly undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty or profiting from Moscow’s takeover of Crimea, the EU’s Official Journal showed. Three companies were also blacklisted. Among the individuals was Arkady Rotenberg, Putin’s former judo partner and a major shareholder of the civil engineering company Giprotransmost. The company has received a public contract to conduct a study on building a bridge from Russia to Crimea, the EU said. Also targeted was Yuri Kovalchuk, a longtime Putin acquaintance identified by the EU as co-founder of the Ozero Dacha, a cooperative society bringing together influential individuals around Russia’s president. Kovalchuk is also the chairman and largest shareholder of Bank Rossiya, which has opened branches in Crimea since its unilateral annexation by Russia. The third Putin ally on the sanctions list was Nikolai Shamalov, another Ozero Dacha co-founder and the second largest shareholder in Bank Rossiya.

Almost 2 weeks after Ukraine crash, clashes again prevent experts from reaching bodies DONETSK, Ukraine — Almost two weeks after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was blown out of the sky, the remains of some passengers are feared rotting in the 90-degree (32-degree Celsius) midsummer heat, deepening the frustration of relatives desperate to recover the bodies of their loved ones. Fighting between Ukrainian forces and separatist rebels has kept away international police charged with securing the site, a sprawling area of farmland and villages. And until it’s secured, there is no way for forensic experts to gather up any remaining bodies or collect debris for analysis. Even the rebels — who initially oversaw the collection of more than 200 of the 298 bodies in a disorganized, widely criticized effort — have stopped their work, saying attacks from the Ukrainian military have forced them to focus on defending themselves. It remains unclear exactly how many bodies remain and what condition they are in after being exposed for so long to the elements. Dutch officials are adamant there are still bodies to be recovered, and Prime Minister Mark Rutte has said repeatedly that bringing them back is his government’s top priority. But Dutch officials were gloomy Wednesday about the prospects of reaching the site any time soon.

House approves $16.3 billion measure to overhaul VA health care system WASHINGTON — The House overwhelmingly approved a landmark bill Wednesday to refurbish the Veterans Affairs Department and improve veterans’ health care. The 420-5 vote sends the bill to the Senate, where approval is expected by Friday. The $16.3 billion measure is intended help veterans avoid long waits for health care, hire more doctors and nurses to treat them and make firing senior executives at the VA easier. The measure includes $10 billion in emergency spending to help veterans who can’t get prompt appointments with VA doctors to obtain outside care; $5 billion to hire doctors, nurses and other medical staff and about $1.3 billion to lease 27 new clinics across the country. The House vote came one day after the Senate confirmed former Procter & Gamble CEO Robert McDonald to lead the sprawling agency, which provides health care to nearly 9 million enrolled veterans and disability compensation to nearly 4 million veterans.

Congress eases veterans cleanup toward passage but keeps up other fights WASHINGTON — Eager to begin a monthlong break, Congress leavened its customary heavy partisanship on Wednesday with a pinch of compromise, advancing legislation to repair the deeply troubled Department of Veterans Affairs and working to clear funds for highway construction at home and missile defense in Israel. Yet old habits proved unbreakable less than 100 days before elections with control of Congress at stake. House Republicans hastened to authorize an official lawsuit accusing President Barack Obama of failing to enforce the health care law. And gridlock loomed on the administration’s call for billions to cope with a surge in young immigrants pouring into the U.S. illegally from Central America. “Stop being mad all the time. Stop just hating all the time,” Obama lectured lawmakers from afar in Kansas City, Missouri, in a speech that was particularly harsh on Republicans. “Come on. Let’s get some work done together.” There was a modest amount of progress on compromise legislation during the day, and hopes in both parties for considerably more before a scheduled adjournment on Thursday. On a vote of 420-5, the House overwhelmingly approved a compromise bill to clean up the scandal-soiled VA, where some officials are accused of covering up long delays in patient care. The $16.3 billion measure would allow veterans to get outside care if they live too far from a VA health facility or face a delay of longer than 30 days in getting an appointment.

Police: Sleeping boy, 8, dies after being hit by bullet that pierced wall of Detroit home DETROIT — Sporadic gunfire isn’t an unusual sound in the Brewster Homes public housing complex in Detroit, but booming noises that shook Tenesha Higgins early Wednesday morning were way too close. Numerous shots were fired at an apartment building, with one piercing a wall and hitting an 8-year-old boy who was sleeping. The child — who Higgins described as a “good boy” who loved playing baseball — died 45 minutes later. “I haven’t been to sleep. I don’t feel safe at all. I didn’t go to work today. I didn’t want to leave my baby,” Higgins told The Associated Press as she and other women huddled together hours after another night of violence in a city struggling mightily to reduce its crime rate. The boy’s name wasn’t released by police, but The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press identified him as Jakari Pearson. — The Associated Press

Israeli strikes hit Gaza By KARIN LAUB and PETER ENAV Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli strikes hit a crowded shopping area in Gaza City Wednesday, hours after tank shells tore through the walls of a U.N. school crowded with war refugees in the deadliest of a series of air and artillery attacks that pushed the Palestinian death toll above 1,300 in more than three weeks of fighting. The bloodshed came on the heels of an escalation by both sides fighting in the embattled coastal territory, further dimming prospects for a sustainable cease-fire despite international diplomatic efforts. The attack on the U.N. school in the Jebaliya refugee camp was the second deadly strike on a U.N. compound in a week. Tank shells slammed into the compound before dawn, said Adnan Abu Hasna, a spokesman for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA, which is sheltering more than 200,000 people displaced by the fighting at dozens of U.N. schools across Gaza. Gaza health ministry official Ashraf al-Kidra said at least 17 people were killed and about 90 wounded in the school strike. Four of the dead were killed just outside the school compound, two in their home nearby and two in the street, after returning from pre-dawn prayers, their relatives said. The Israeli military said it fired back after its soldiers were targeted by mortar rounds launched from the vicinity of the school. Assad Sabah said he and his five children were huddling under desks in one of the classrooms because of the constant sound of tank fire throughout the night. “We were scared to death,” he said. “After 4:30 a.m., tanks started firing more. Three ex-

plosions shook the school.” “One classroom collapsed over the head of the people who were inside,” he said. In one classroom, the front wall was blown out, leaving debris and bloodied clothing. Another strike tore a large round hole in the ceiling of a secondfloor classroom. Hundreds of people crowded the school courtyard after the strike, some dazed, others wailing. “Where will we go?” asked Aishe Abu Darabeh, 56. “Where will we go next? We fled and they (the Israelis) are following us.” In all, 1,359 Palestinians have been killed — 114 on Wednesday — and 7,100 wounded since the July 8 start of fighting, al-Kidra said. The Israeli military said three of its soldiers were killed when a booby-trapped house collapsed after they identified an entrance to a tunnel inside, raising to 56 the number killed since a ground war began earlier this month. Three civilians also have been killed on the Israeli side. The U.N. said it was the sixth school to be hit since the conflict

GOP blocks tax hike on firms moving overseas By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republican senators blocked an electionyear bill Wednesday to limit tax breaks for U.S. companies that move operations overseas. The bill would have prohibited companies from deducting expenses related to moving their operations to a foreign country. It also would have offered tax credits to companies that move operations to the U.S. from a foreign country. The Senate voted 54-42 to end debate on the bill, six short of the 60 votes needed to advance it. The White House says President Barack Obama supports the legislation. “Today in the United States, any time an American company closes a factory or plant in America and moves operations to another country, the American taxpayers pick up part of that moving bill,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. “Frankly, a vote against this bill is a vote against American jobs.” Republicans called the bill an election-year stunt. They noted that Democrats tried to pass a similar bill two years ago, right before the last congressional elections. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said the bill is “designed for campaign rhetoric and failure, not to create jobs here in the U.S.” Republicans also complained that Reid wouldn’t allow any amendments. The legislation now joins a growing number of bills that have stalled in the Senate this year because Democrats and Republicans couldn’t agree on amendments. The bill would have cost U.S. companies that move overseas $143 million in additional taxes over the next decade, accordC

ing to the Joint Committee on Taxation, which analyzes tax legislation for Congress. Companies moving into the U.S. would have seen their tax bills drop by $357 million over the same period. The difference — $214 million — would have been added to the budget deficit. The White House and some Democrats in Congress have been making the case that a growing number of U.S. corporations are using international tax loopholes to avoid paying U.S. taxes. On Wednesday, Obama criticized U.S. companies that reincorporate overseas as a way to lower their U.S. tax bills. Many of these companies keep most of their operations in the U.S., including their headquarters. The process, called an inversion, allows firms to shield more of their foreign earnings from being taxed in the U.S. “You know, they are renouncing their citizenship even though they’re keeping most of their business here,” Obama said in a speech in Kanas City, Missouri. “They shouldn’t turn their back on the country that made their success possible,” Obama added. Some Democrats in Congress have been pushing legislation to make it harder for U.S. firms to reincorporate overseas mainly to avoid U.S. taxes. Republicans say that instead of punishing corporations for leaving the U.S., Congress should make America’s tax laws more inviting so more firms will want to come here. At 35 percent, the U.S. has the highest corporate income tax rate in the industrialized world. Many corporations, however, pay lower tax rates because the law is filled with many credits, deductions and exemptions.

began, and the second to cause deaths. At least 15 civilians also were killed last Thursday when the courtyard of a U.N. school in Gaza City was hit. Israel has acknowledged that troops fired a mortar shell that hit the courtyard but said aerial footage shows the yard was empty at the time and that the shell could not have killed anyone. “I reached levels of anger and indignation about the fact that despite all the efforts that we have put in, to ensure that places like these would be respected, that people in them would be protected when they were there — that this was not the case is intolerable,” said Pierre Kraehenbuehl, the UNRWA commissioner general. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon called Wednesday’s trike “outrageous” and “unjustifiable,” and demanded an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas. “Nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children,” Ban said on his arrival in San Jose, Costa Rica. He added that “all available evidence points to Israeli artillery

as the cause” and noted that Israeli military authorities had received the coordinates of the school from the United Nations 17 times, including on Tuesday night. The White House also condemned the deadly shelling. White House spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan also said the U.S. is “extremely concerned” that thousands of Palestinians aren’t safe in U.N.-designated shelters, despite being told by Israel’s military to leave their homes. Israel has been warning civilians by phone and leaflet to leave dangerous areas ahead of strikes on militant targets. The mortar shells were fired from a distance of some 200 meters (yards) from the school, said an Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. Yomtov Tamir, a retired Israeli general, said he was not familiar with Wednesday’s strike but said that even though tank fire is generally “very accurate” it can miss its target for a variety of reasons. “One — it might have gone through a target. Two — it might be a mistake in identification, that they intended to hit something specific but that it was actually something other than what the person aiming intended,” he said. Hours later, an Israeli airstrike hit a crowded shopping area in the Shijaiyah district in Gaza City, killing at least 16 people, including local Palestinian photographer Rami Rayan, who was wearing a press vest at the time, and wounding more than 200 people, Gaza health officials said. Al-Kidra and witnesses said the shopping area was busy because residents, and many who had taken shelter in the area from fighting elsewhere, thought a cease-fire was in place. The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed the death toll.

cel that was purchased along Knight Drive with the original intent to develop a cemetery, is an example of a project that changed after part of the land had already been purchased. Later the city decided to develop the land, for Memorial Park now sits on for that purpose. Other parcels such as the

three that sit directly adjacent to the Soldotna Wastewater Treatment Plant will be kept for potential development, Queen said. Queen and Mohorcich will be proposing a timeline for an approval process to develop the parcels the city will be retaining and when they plan to sell

off the remaining parcels at an upcoming council meeting. Queen said pamphlets and advertisements will be released when the properties are available for public bid early next year.

think he’s on track for that, but I can’t guarantee it.” The culvert set to be replaced has been completely removed and backfilled and a new, larger culvert, is in place, Nelson said. “I think that obviously the very difficult part is behind us, all the difficult and technical parts, the de-watering, the stream diversion … the stream

had been temporarily diverted through an overflow project and has now been restored through its original path through the new culvert,” Nelson said. There has been a noticeable improvement in stream flow and movement of juvenile salmon fry in the creek, Nelson said. The project is one of the Kenai Watershed Forum’s fish passage projects and was de-

signed to replace an old culvert with one that would allow salmon to move freely through the creek which feeds into the Kenai River. “If you just look into the stream on a clear day like this, kind of just focus for a little while, you’ll see lots of little fry both upstream and downstream of that culvert,” Nelson said. “It’s working.”

not make it reasonable to expect that Defendants’ response to a future shutdown would be the same as the response to the 2013 shutdown.” During arguments in the case, an attorney for the state said that to her knowledge, no prior shutdown affected access to national wildlife refuges, Gleason wrote in her decision, finding that “insufficient to demonstrate a reasonable expectation that Plaintiffs will be subjected to a closure in the future.” Cori Mills, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Law, said Wednesday that the state planned to evaluate its options for a possible appeal. The state has a history of pushing back — and even suing — over areas of perceived federal overreach. The cost to the state so far in trying to case was about $34,000, Mills said.

Around Alaska Miller outlines plan on illegal immigration JUNEAU — Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Joe Miller says the U.S. should bill the governments of people who enter this country illegally for policing, housing, food and transportation. Miller’s campaign Wednesday released a seven-point plan for addressing illegal immigration. The proposal also calls for immediate completion of a fence along the southern border of the U.S. and stopping benefits, like health care, for people who are in this country illegally. Miller called it a commonsense approach to addressing the issue. Miller is among the candidates seeking the GOP nomination for the Senate seat held by Democrat Mark Begich, who is seeking re-election. Also running are Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell and former Natural Resources commissioner Dan Sullivan.

Yukon Quest purse in 2015 up from 2014 FAIRBANKS — The winnings in the 2015 Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race will be increased by more than $12,000 from the purse in this year’s race. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports next year’s race will have a purse of at least $127,110. This year’s total purse was $115,000, but $12,110 was not claimed because fewer than 15 teams completed the 1,000-mile race. The unclaimed money is being added to next year’s purse. The record high purse was $150,000 in 2012. That’s before sponsorship and donation problems contributed to the recent dip.

Plea deal reached in Ketchikan standoff C

KETCHIKAN — A 30-year-old Ketchikan man has pleaded guilty in a case alleging he threatened to shoot anyone who walked past his home. Mathew Martinez pleaded guilty Tuesday to assault and weapons charges in connection with the June 10 incident. Martinez originally was charged with felony assault, terrorist threatening, weapons misconduct and violating conditions of his release. KRBD says the charges had stemmed from the incident in June, when Martinez called 911 and allegedly made his shooting threats. — The Associated Press

court filings, the plaintiffs said the closures impaired the state’s ability to manage fish and wildlife and affected the ability of hunting guides to use their permits, costing them money. The state and hunting group asked that the federal government be barred from enforcing a similar closure in the future on federal refuge land in Alaska. They said the government has a history of shutdowns in arguing that another one could reasonably be expected. But Gleason, in her order dated Tuesday, said that in this case, “even if the history of government funding gaps makes it reasonable to expect that another shutdown will occur at some point in the future, it does

More acidic seawater poses risks in Alaska By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — The release of carbon dioxide into the air from power plant smokestacks to the tailpipe on your car could pose a risk to red king crab and other lucrative fisheries in Alaska, a new report says. Ocean water becomes more acidic when it absorbs carbon dioxide released by human sources, such as the burning of fossil fuels. Increased ocean acidification could harm important Alaska commercial and subsistence fisheries and communities that rely heavily on them, according to the new research aimed at spurring discussion on how to address the changes. The research, led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was to be published Tuesday in the online journal Progress in Oceanography. Researchers said changes in ocean chemistry could make it harder for mollusks and other small creatures to build and keep their skeletons or shells. Previous studies have shown red king crab and tanner crab grow more slowly in more acidic water and that red king crab died in highly acidified conditions. Communities in southeast and southwest Alaska face the highest risk from ocean acidification because of their reliance on fishing, relatively lower income levels and fewer job alternatives than other parts of Alaska, the report states. For communities with high food and energy costs, ocean acidification could be another hit, the research says. According to the NOAA, Alaska’s high-latitude coastal waters are more vulnerable to acidification because cold water can absorb more carbon dioxide. Circulation patterns also bring more acidic deepocean water to the surface, the agency said. Co-lead author of the study, NOAA oceanographer Jeremy Mathis, said the goal was to try to quantify the potential risk and impacts from ocean acidification, a question that’s come up in meetings with fishermen, villages and com-

munities but one he’s never had a good answer for. While direct, harmful impacts aren’t showing up yet, the ocean is changing quickly, he said. Oceans are about 30 percent more acidic today than they were at the start of the Industrial Revolution, he said. If fossil fuels continue to be burned at the current rate, pH levels could drop significantly by the end of the century, said Mathis, who is also director of an ocean acidification research center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. “We could have a 300 percent greater change between now and the end of the century than we have in the past 250 years combined,” he said. “So the rate of change is what’s accelerating.” Mathis said lab studies have shown a low level of tolerance for acidification in crab, but those impacts haven’t been seen in the wild yet. As the oceans change, there are some who believe species will adapt or new organisms will emerge, and that could happen, he said. But acidification also could change population dynamics, he said. “In a place like the Bering Sea, where a billion-dollar industry has been built around a few species of crabs, then that’s where we really start to worry. It’s something we’re going to have to pay very close attention to,” Mathis said. As an area of further study, Mathis said he would like to be able to quantify the potential financial impacts of the changes.

Cardinals make Peterson highest-paid CB BOB BAUM AP Sports Writer

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Patrick Peterson is the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. Just ask him. Not only did he tweet out the terms of his new contract — five years, $70 million, $48 million guaranteed — he referred to himself as the highest-paid at his position at least five times in the Arizona Cardinals news conference announcing the new deal on Wednesday — twice before he was ever asked a question. He’s long maintained he’s the league’s best cornerback. Now he says has higher goals — the playoffs, a Super Bowl title, the Hall of Fame. And Peterson doesn’t speak as if he’s boasting, rather just a matter of the facts. In just three years, he has become,

as he put it, “a face of the organization.” “He’s earned it,” Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said, “and I agree — he’s the best defensive corner in the league.” Peterson is the first of the 2011 draft class to sign a second contract. He had two years left on his previous deal after the Cardinals picked up his fifth-year option. “It shows that we’re a first-class organization,” Peterson said. “We want to get the job done. We want to win, that’s the most important thing.” By tweeting out his deal, Peterson made sure everyone knew his contract was bigger than that of Seattle’s Richard Sherman. The two have carried on a Twitter rivalry for some time. Sherman signed a four-year, $56 million contract — $40 million guaranteed — earlier this year.

Peterson rubbed it in with a tweet on Wednesday that said “You mad bro!!!” followed by five faces crying. Sherman responded with a closeup photo of his Super Bowl championship ring and said “Can’t ever be too mad.” “I don’t have any beef with Richard,” Peterson said at the news conference. “I’m having fun. I don’t know if he’s having fun, but I think it’s going to make me take my game to the next level.” He noted some of Sherman’s tweets are “a little salty.” “I guess it will be must-watch TV when we play Seattle,” Peterson said. It’s the second-largest contract in Cardinals’ history, exceeded only by the eight-year contract worth up to $120 million — with nearly $50 million guaranteed, that Larry Fitzgerald signed in 2011. Peterson doesn’t cover a particu-

lar part of the field, as Sherman does, but is assigned to the opponent’s best receiver, wherever he lines up. “Twenty-four years old, 48 straight starts,” Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said. “In my humble opinion there isn’t another corner in the league that has his size, speed, athleticism, explosiveness, ball skills. “On top of that, Pat will probably be the first to tell you he hasn’t even scratched the surface yet, which is actually scary considering the fact that he could redefine the position.” Peterson said “it’s a big deal” to have the biggest contract at his position. “I think I have done a lot in my young career to be recognized not only as the best cornerback in the league,” he said, “but as the highestpaid cornerback in the league. I think my body of work is only going to get better.”

Peterson said the contract won’t mean an added burden. “Honestly, I don’t think my responsibilities have grown,” he said, “because I’ve been the guy that wants to get better each and every day. I want to be the guy who leads this team. I want to be a face of this organization. I have accomplished that in my first three years. Now it’s getting championships.” Peterson, who turned 24 on July 11, has made the Pro Bowl each of his three NFL seasons after Arizona selected him with the fifth overall pick in the 2011 draft. He made it as a punt returner in his rookie season, and as a cornerback the past two years. He and Sherman were firstteam All-Pro last season. “He’s very, very mature,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. “I don’t like using that role model word, but he’s a perfect citizen.”

Indians give up Masterson for Ramsey in trade deal TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians had little choice but to give up Justin Masterson. The trade doesn’t mean they’re going to surrender the season.

“We will never raise the white flag,” Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. “That’s not an option. Anybody who stands next to me in the dugout knows that will never happen.” Protecting themselves in case the 29-year-old Master-

son left as a free agent after the season, the Indians traded the right-hander on Wednesday to the St. Louis Cardinals. The trade of Masterson could be followed by other moves by the Indians, who entered Wednesday 6 1-2 games be-

hind first-place Detroit in the AL Central and in a scramble with five other teams for the league’s second wild-card spot. The Indians could also trade shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera before the deadline. Like Masterson, Cabrera is in the final

year of his contract and the Indians have shown little interest in re-signing him. Dealing the two-time All-Star could bring a prospect in return. General manager Chris Antonetti said he’s exploring deals to improve the team before Thurs-

day’s 4 p.m. trade deadline. “Our focus is to continue to try to win as many games as we can,” he said. “We’re currently in the midst of having conversations to bring players in to impact our team at the major league level.”

Greinke strikes out 13 in victory Kemp single in bottom of 10th scores winning run for Dodgers The Associated Press LOSANGELES (AP) — Matt Kemp singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, Zack Greinke struck out a season-high 13 and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 on Wednesday night for their season-best fifth straight victory. Kemp scored the Dodgers’ first two runs of the game, including his 11th homer leading off the second. Pinch-hitter Justin Turner singled to open the 10th and took second on a wild pitch by David Hale (3-3). Kemp followed with the winning single to left. J.P. Howell (3-3) got the win in relief, walking two and striking out one in one inning. The Braves tied the game 2-2 on Justin Upton’s home run off closer Kenley Jansen leading off the ninth. Greinke allowed one run and five hits in eight innings while walking one. He was making his first start at home since June 28. GIANTS 7, PIRATES 5 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Reliever Jean Machi and San Francisco took advantage of a huge baserunning blunder by Pittsburgh, tagging out two runners who wandered away on the same play and beating the Pirates to end a six-game losing streak. The Giants stopped a skid that matched its longest of the season, and avoided the club’s first winless homestand of at least seven games in the 15year history of AT&T Park. The Pirates, who had won three in a row, led 5-4 in the

sixth when Chris Stewart drew a one-out walk with runners on second and third. Machi (6-0) got the ball back from the catcher and noticed Travis Snider had left second base, thinking it was a bases-loaded walk. Machi threw to shortstop Brandon Crawford to trap Snider in a rundown. Crawford tagged out Snider, then threw to Machi to catch Gaby Sanchez in a rundown when he broke home from third. Machi tossed back to third baseman Pablo Sandoval for the tag. INDIANS 2, MARINERS 0 CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber pitched a threehitter for his first career shutout, outdueling Felix Hernandez and leading the Cleveland Indians over Seattle. Kluber (11-6) gave three singles, struck out eight and walked none. Hernandez (11-3) didn’t allow a runner until Carlos Santana drew a leadoff walk in the fifth. Yan Gomes delivered a two-run double later in the inning. ROCKIES 6, CUBS 4 CHICAGO (AP) — Brandon Barnes hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the 10th inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Chicago Cubs. Colorado loaded the bases on two walks and Michael McKenry’s third hit of the game before Barnes singled with one out against Wesley Wright (0-2). Drew Stubbs then scored on a wild pitch, helping the Rockies stop a three-game slide.

Sports Briefs Panners win ABL title; On to Wichita The Alaska Goldpanners won the Alaska Baseball League championship series Wednesday at Mulcahy Stadium with a 2-1 victory over the Mat-Su Miners. The win was the first of a scheduled doubleheader Wednesday, but since Fairbanks only needed two wins out the three-game series that began Tuesday, one game was all that was needed. All three runs in the game were scored in the fifth inning, starting with the Goldpanners at the top of the frame. As champions of the ABL, the Panners will now travel to Wichita, Kansas, for the National Baseball Congress World Series.

2015 crew chief announced for Junior

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There was no shortage of candidates to replace Steve Letarte as Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s crew chief The list of applicants was long, but Hendrick Motorsports has always liked to groom its own talent. So the organization didn’t have to look very far for the next leader of the No. 88 Chevrolet. Greg Ives, who was shipped over to Earnhardt’s Nationwide Series team at the end of 2012 to gain his first experience as crew chief, was chosen Wednesday as Letarte’s replacement with NASCAR’s most popular driver. Letarte will move to an analyst role with NBC Sports and Ives will move from JR Motorsports to crew chief for Earnhardt. “Not only is he the most talented candidate for the job, but it will be the most seamless transition,” Earnhardt said Wednesday. “I don’t see how it couldn’t go any smoother, being that he has that past history and understanding of the building. “When Greg comes into that position, the boat won’t rock. Everybody already knows Greg, is comfortable with him.” Ives was race engineer for Jimmie Johnson’s record run of five consecutive championships, and worked under Johnson crew chief Chad Knaus and alongside Earnhardt’s No. 88 team. When he told Hendrick management he wanted to be a crew chief, there were no openings in the organization. Ives was instead moved to JRM, which is co-owned by both Hendrick and Earnhardt.

Reaching for rainbows, casting for char

Anglers looking for something more challenging than the traditional “Kenai Flip” for sockeye, might try for some of the river’s rainbow trout and Dolly Varden. While reports are that both the Kenai and Kasilof river fisheries are slow, if the fly rod isn’t working there are still salmon to be had. Monte Roberts, guide for All Alaska Outdoors, said trout fishing is slow but the fish could be found if anglers know where to go. “Early in the spring, they spawn and then you start to get these migrations of smolt out of the river and the trout follow those smolt down into the river, eating them,” Roberts said. “They follow them into the zones where people don’t normally fish for them.” Roberts said the fish have moved down the river into places like Poacher’s Cove, but are also less concentrated than they are when spawning near Skilak Lake. “A lot of times we catch a ton of big (rainbows) in the king fishery from the Soldotna Bridge down to probably about Stewart’s (landing),” he said. “ That’s is the lowest that they seem to go regularly, but in that stretch there’s a ton of them that get caught on bait when we get bait openings in June.” As the trout move back upstream later in the fall, Roberts said the fishing would improve. Angler Bruce King said he

has been on the Kenai River once this year for rainbow fishing, but in previous years has fished the river almost exclusively for rainbows and Dolly Varden. “I’ve killed enough salmon. I

fill the freezer at the beginning of the season in the personaluse fishery,” King said. When the salmon are spawning, using beads, which resemble eggs, can be a good draw for both species of fish — however

decision whether it’s food or not,” King said. The key, he said, is to be willing to change beads quickly. “You can have a boat full of four guys fishing beads and one will consistently catch fish and the other three won’t and so you basically march through beads until you find one that works and then you switch,” he said. When other fishers are filling the river with salmon carcasses, flesh patterns also work well — though Roberts said, now is the time of year to fish with sculpin and smolt patterns. There may be a few eggs in the water, but not enough to justify using beads as lures yet, he said. Both Roberts and King said the challenge for fishing for trout and artic char on the river is part of the appeal. “The trout fishing is really, really tough,” Roberts said. “Mostly, because they’re a very educated fish. They’re getting handled and caught a lot and they’re going off the bite. After so many times of getting your face ripped off, maybe you’ll just stick to eating bugs.” King said the fishery is a challenging, but worthwhile one. “You’ve given the fish about as much of a chance as you can possibly give them when you use a fly rod and put a bead on it with a little tiny hook,” he said. “If you like the challenge of giving the fish the biggest King said the fishing requires advantage, that’s what you’re finesse. doing.” “You really have to pay attention because the way the fish Reach Rashah McChesney are feeding, they’re basically at rashah.mcchesney@peninsampling.

Summer Orchestra highlights new bands

By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Not a seat could be found at noon in the restaurant-turnedconcert venue Tuesday at Odie’s Deli in Soldotna. Picking, and strumming at the back of the dining area were the Spur Highway Spankers, a resident bluegrass band, who

have been playing together for 25 years. The performance is part of the 2014 Kenai Peninsula Orchestra Summer Music Festival, which connects peninsula bands to local businesses and opens their music to new audiences. Fiddle player Sue Biggs stood at the end of the quintet beside her husband and

the band’s guitarist, Jack Will. Biggs has been playing with the Spankers for 19 years, and is responsible for their mingling with the music festival, she said. Peninsula resident Jim Fischer has been somewhat of a groupie of the Spankers for the past decade. “They’re amazing,” Fischer

said after the performance. “I have been following these guys around for 10 years. I try to go to each of their concerts.” And that would be a lot of traveling for the dedicated Fischer. Biggs said just recently the band performed at the KBBI Concert on the Lawn, July See BAND, page B-2

One for me, and one for you Bookworm Sez One for me, and one for you. Divvying up candy when you were a kid was an almostexact science. Everybody had to have an equal amount, and they watched closely to ensure that happened. One for you, one for me. Even Steven, it’s all the same. But, in the new book “Laws of Wrath” by Eriq La Salle, what’s good for the goose might kill

the gander. Phee Freeman could never forget why his brother left the family. A.J. was gay, which was something that neither Phee, nor their father, Clay, could accept back then. When Phee and Clay learned the truth, it was as if A.J. had never been born. Phee couldn’t forget that, nor could he forgive himself for shunning his only brother – especially when A.J. was found mutilated and dead. Naturally, Clay Freeman

mourned for his eldest son but as an older man, Clay had seen death before. He’d lost his beloved wife years ago – but prior to that, he’d been on the wrong edge of trouble and the right end of a gun. It wasn’t something he was proud of, but that was all in the past. Although it wasn’t protocol, when Detective Quincy Cavanaugh was assigned to investigate the murder of A.J. Freeman, he needed his partner by his side. Having been a team for See SEZ, page B-2

‘Hercules’ “Hercules” Paramount Pictures 1 hours, 30 minutes Years ago I saw “The Scorpion King” starring a charismatic wrestler known as The Rock. I remember telling my wife that the movie was terrible, but the wrestler was, surprisingly, not bad. Since then, The Rock, or Dwayne Johnson, as he came to be known, has made a career out of improving mediocre films with his winning personality and incredibly charismatic performances. He is a good actor, if not necessarily a great one, but he tends to boost the quality of just about any project he’s associated with. Until now. “Hercules” is not a good movie, but for the first time in years, Johnson’s performance is part of the problem instead of the solution. I hate to say it because he honestly has very little to work with in terms of script, but where he can usually turn lemons into lemonade, this time around it just stays sour. The film opens with some expository narration from Iolaus, Hercules’ nephew and traveling press agent. Born of a union between Zeus and a mortal woman, Hercules is a demigod who has traveled the world doing great deeds. In an effort to appease the goddess Hera, Zeus’ wife, who hates Hercules for obvious reasons, our hero agrees to take on twelve labors, miraculous feats of strength and courage that could only be accomplished by a superhuman. He fights monsters, performs amazing feats, and before long his legend grows longer than the lustrous locks that adorn Johnson’s normally bald head. Now, Hercules is an agent for hire, willing to right injustice for a price.

R eeling It In C hris J enness Iolaus enthusiastically spins these tales before each battle in hopes of dissuading the evil-doers to fight. When the inevitable battle does come, however, it’s more than intimidation and Hercules’ admittedly impressive strength that wins the day. At

our hero’s side are four trained killers of impressive and varied skills who do the lion’s share of the fighting. Before too long we come to the realization that maybe the whole legend of Hercules is really just a lot of hot air used to drum up business. The “is he / isn’t he” theme runs weakly through the production, before falling apart near the end. Hercules, struggling with his own secret past, will have to put his own reputation to the test when Lord Cotys of Thrace calls upon our hero and his merry band to rid him of a killer plaguing the people and raising an army.

Lollapalooza marks a decade in Chicago

By CARYN ROUSSEAU Associated Press

CHICAGO — Once the vagabond of the music festival and touring circuit, Lollapalooza marks its 10th anniversary in Chicago when it opens for three days starting Friday with a lineup including Eminem, Outkast and Kings of Leon. “We are very into the idea of being an international music event,” Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell said in a recent interview. “But I would have to acknowledge that if it were not for Chicago, that beautiful showroom, I don’t think we would be

in the position we’re in now.” Farrell, the leader singer of Jane’s Addiction, started Lollapalooza in 1991. It was a tour until 1997 before a hiatus until 2003. There were struggles in 2004 when the event was canceled just weeks before it was to get underway because of poor ticket sales. But in 2005, Lollapalooza came to Chicago’s lakefront Grant Park where it hosted several dozen musical artists on five stages over two days. The headline in the Chicago Tribune the day after the festival ended read: “Successapalooza.” Its second year in Chicago, Lollapalooza grew to about 130

acts on nine stages with capacity for 75,000 people. This year promoters expect 100,000 on each day with as many acts on eight stages. The festival has grown over its years in Chicago, adding food tents with offerings from gourmet chefs and a children’s section. And it has brought acts like Lady Gaga, Nine Inch Nails, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Coldplay to town. Eventually, Lollapalooza became the basis for the modern festival culture and circuit that has evolved since, including events like Bonnaroo, Coachella and a legion of smaller multiday parties. This year, Lorde, Skrillex, Calvin Harris and Nas are part of the jam-packed lineup. Chicago city leaders decided in 2005 to let Lollapalooza take over its beloved Grant Park. They now say it was a wise decision, benefiting the city both culturally and financially. “It’s become a global imagebuilder for Chicago,” said Don Welsh, president and chief executive officer of Choose Chicago, the city’s tourism and convention organization. “Lollapalooza has become synonymous with Chicago.”

NEW YORK — NBC has picked its Peter Pan: high-flying “Girls” star Allison Williams. The network announced Wednesday that Williams will play the boy who refused to grow up in NBC’s new staging of “Peter Pan Live!” The live telecast of this musical classic will air Dec. 4.

They have also played at the Soldotna Library, the Duck Inn on Kalifornsky Beach Road, and various other venues around the peninsula. “We like to playing anywhere and everywhere,” Biggs said. Biggs said the members of the Spankers come from a variety of backgrounds, and have many different musical influences from jazz to folk to rock. She said they found common ground and sound in bluegrass. “It’s very standard bluegrass,” Biggs said. “It’s what we like, no drums. We are very influenced by Bill Monroe who is considered to be the father of bluegrass. The Spankers banjo player, Randy Hogue, one of the founding members, said the band’s goal with each performance is to include the audience. “We try to involve the lis-

First of all, this book screams for an editor and a disabled comma key. Yes, it’s rough, littered with extraneous (and incorrect) punctuation and choppy sentences - both of which are increasingly irritating as the pages fly by. Which brings me to the second thing: the pages will fly by because, though his story can be quite gruesome at times, author Eriq La Salle gives thriller fans that edge-of-the-seat feeling they crave. There are good guys here that are filled out nicely and criminals who couldn’t be more evil. I was also pleased to note that while I saw some of the ending coming, I didn’t see it all. And when you ignore its punctuation flaws, “all” is what you’ll get with this otherwise fine thriller. If you want to pick a nail-biter, in fact, “Laws of Wrath” may be one for you.

years, he and Phee were known around the NYPD for being the best at solving unusual cases – so when a second mutilated body was found, Cavanaugh knew that this would be one of the strangest cases of all. Years ago, there were other corpses with similar mutilations, but Dr. Daria Zibik, the person behind those murders, was sitting in prison. She couldn’t have committed these crimes, but Cavanaugh knew that Zibik led a Satanic cult and had prepared someone to take over until her release. It made sense for him to offer Zibik a deal in order to figure out why innocent people were being tortured and killed. But time was of the essence. A killer was on the loose, and he apparently had the Freeman The Bookworm is Terri family in his sights… Schlichenmeyer.

Last year, he said, the organization estimates Lollapalooza’s economic impact on Chicago was $140 million. This year for the first time the city and Lollapalooza promoters worked with tourism partners in international markets to make tickets available for music fans around the world. And Chicago Park District

officials say festival proceeds have gone to pay for park improvements and educational and cultural programs. With an event this large, things haven’t always been perfect. A thunderstorm moved across Chicago in 2012 and shut down Lollapalooza, forcing promoters to shuffle the lineup. And at least twice parkland was

muddied and damaged after the festival, but the promoters paid for repairs. From his point of view, Farrell says Chicago offers him “no plug-ups or bottlenecks.” “Just being in the presence of Chicago we look damn good,” Farrell said. “I have nothing but praise and adulation and I want to do Chicago right.”

The 26-year-old actress-comedian plays Marnie Michaels on HBO’s comedy “Girls,” for which she has recorded several songs. She is the daughter of NBC News anchor Brian Williams and has also appeared on “The Mindy Project” and “The League.” NBC recently announced that Oscar winner Christopher Walken will play the villainous pirate Captain Hook. tener,” Hogue said. “The more involved they are the more fun they are going to have.” Throughout their performance at Odie’s the different members spoke directly to the audience, asked questions and quipped among one another. Hogue said he started the band with Spanker’s mandolin player, Rick Epling on the offshore oil platforms in the Cook Inlet more than two decades ago, just to pass the time. Biggs said it’s amazing how tight-knit the group has remained since its beginning. She said the Spanker’s harmonies, style and sound are uniquely succinct. The music festival’s Artisit Director Tammy VollomMatturno said one of the goals of the summer orchestra is to reveal local bands like the Spanker’s to new audiences. It also promotes awareness of the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra, and local businesses, she said. “People who have lived here a long time will come to these concerts and say, ‘Oh, I didn’t stealing willy-nilly from other, better movies. When it does finally try for an unexpected twist near the end, the result is hamhanded and, frankly, leaves the audience confused. For a simple, turn-off-your-brain action movie, you could do worse than “Hercules,” though you could certainly do better. The violence is pretty extreme, at times, pushing the bounds of a PG-13 rated movie, although boundary pushing is not a way I’d describe the movie as a whole. Nothing about it feels like anything but slick, manufactured entertainment with very little though given to logic or believability. Johnson is joined by impressive actors like Joseph Fiennes, Rufus Sewell, Ian McShane, and your go-to guy for wizened British patriarchs, John Hurt, who already appeared in “Snowpiercer” just last week. God love him, Hurt will do just about any movie that comes down the pike. None of this talent helps the fact, however, that the script for the movie is pure junk. Even The Rock couldn’t save this dud. That would be a feat even a demigod couldn’t manage. Grade: C“Hercules” is rated PG-13 for bloody violence, partial nudity, and language.

if not great movie, purported to show the “true” story of Camelot and the Arthurian knights, casting them as Roman subjects running around England in the 4th or 5th century. Though this movie makes no claims to the veracity of the story of Hercules, the vibe is the same. The difference, however, is that “Arthur” was better written and better directed. “Hercules” has an abysmal script and Johnson drowns in its senseless flipflop from stilted “period” dialogue to wisecracking modern patois. Much of the structure is the same, however. We have the mercenary band, each with a special skill. There’s the gregarious but greedy second-incommand, the zany, inscrutable one with the funny gadgets, and the one with a scary propensity for iolence. And then, of course, there’s the girl, even more kick-ass than the guys, beautiful and sexy, though almost never sexualized, and expert with a bow, if you hadn’t already guessed. That’s part of the big problem with “Hercules:” it’s completely predictable Chris Jenness is a freelance and completely unoriginal for graphic designer, artist and most of its 90-minute runtime, movie buff who lives in Nikiski. C

“I have wanted to play Peter Pan since I was about three years old, so this is a dream come true,” said Williams, who added, “What could go wrong in a live televised production with simultaneous flying, sword fighting and singing?” This musical version of “Peter Pan” has a long tradition on NBC. It opened on Broadway in 1954, starring Mary Martin as

the flying boy and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook in a pair of Tony Award-winning performances. They reprised their Broadway roles in a live telecast of the production that aired on NBC in 1955, revived a year later with a second live telecast — and then, in 1960, with a new, videotaped “Peter Pan” that again starred Martin and Ritchard.

She bounces between Homer and the Central Kenai Peninsula coordinating rehearsals and performances with the different bands. She said the festival includes a variety of styles to appeal to as many new ears as possible.

B-8 Peninsula Clarion, Thursday, July 31, 2014

Obsession over six-pack abs puts swimmer in unsafe water unless you are secure about who you are and what you have to offer, you can’t maintain a healthy relationship. (If you don’t believe me, look at the tabloids and start counting how many movie star romances resemble a game of musical chairs.) If you truly think that death might be preferable to being fat, then you are Abigail Van Buren in trouble. You may have a serious eating disorder, one that could shorten your life. Most people who have an eating disorder need professional help to overcome it, so the place to go is to your student health center. Ask to speak with a mental health counselor about what you’re doing and how you’re feeling. It is important that you understand what has caused this so you can be successfully treated.

If I had it at a nice restaurant, would it be rude to ask them to pay their own way for dinner? I am only 21 and just graduated from college, so I can’t manage it on my own. Any advice? — SON OF “SILVER” PARENTS IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR SON: I think the sentiment is sweet, but if you are going to have this kind of an anniversary party for your parents, you should wait until you can afford to host it. For this one, invite your parents out for dinner, and give them the kind of party you’re planning on their 30th. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Leo and a Moon in Virgo if born before 12:09 p.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Libra. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 31, 2014: This year you are dynamic and charming, but there seems to be a softness, especially regarding romance. You are in the first year of a new luck cycle. Can you understand why people flock to you? If you are single, you will have to work on staying single. Be careful about dating more than one person at a time. There is a likelihood that you will run into one person when you’re with the other! If you are attached, you enjoy hanging out with your significant other more and more. It will seem as if you are dating for the first time, all over again. LIBRA is as charming as you are! The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Schedule meetings for the morning, when you are on cruise control. In the afternoon, you won’t be able to concentrate as you might like. Go with the moment, and work through a certain unpredictability that keeps appearing. Tonight: Think “weekend,” and make plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHHTapintoyourcreativitywhen trying to fulfill a desire. A friend or associate will brainstorm with you. In the afternoon, settle in and take a hard look at your finances as well as your long-term goals. You’ll gain insight into a friend’s attitude. Tonight: Play it easy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Rubes

HHHH Take your time in the morning. In fact, if you can stay at home, do. A special opportunity seems impossible to say “no” to. Choose to go with the moment, and you’ll see what lies ahead on this unusual path. Tap into your sense of adventure. Tonight: Let your hair down. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHHVisualize more of what you want from a certain situation. You also might want to discuss it with a trusted friend or adviser. By verbalizing what you want, you’ll help turn a desire into reality. Touch base with a roommate in the evening. Tonight: Hang close to home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Take care of practical matters first. You will want some time in the afternoon for a lengthy lunch with an acquaintance or friend. Catching up on news could prove to be a real mind opener. You might be surprised by some of what you hear. Tonight: Read between the lines. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by what a partner, friend or associate might share. Eye a risk with care, but ultimately go with your sixth sense. The variables with a money matter still might be too hefty. You won’t want to sustain substantial damage. Tonight: Your treat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to take the morning off, considering how out of sorts you feel. Consider taking the whole day off if you can, but know that someone will be looking for you. Lie low, no matter how many offers come your way. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one at a distance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

HHH Zero in on what you want in the morning. By the afternoon, you might want to do some research, take a nap or enjoy a favorite pastime. You’ll need to pull away from others for a while. Don’t forget to schedule an important doctor’s appointment. Tonight: Vanish. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You’ll fulfill your obligations first, and then you’ll enjoy the assortment of people around you with whom you would like to visit. A meeting might evolve into a social happening. A loved one could want his or her share of time, too! Tonight: Only where your friends are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Detach early on, and you will gain a deeper insight into what is going on. In the afternoon, you can act on your perception. A loved one or family member is highly receptive to you. Ask this person for the support and feedback you feel you need. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Get past a very serious discussion in the morning. Take a walk or indulge in some other type of distraction after this talk. Allow your empathy to come out when thinking through the issue. Tonight: Consider going on a weekend getaway in the near future. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Others seem to know where you are coming from. No matter what goes on, you’ll be able to have a discussion that lets you know that your position is being weighed. Use care with manipulative people. A loved one needs your attention. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

The answer will sink in Dear Heloise: If you have a vacation home, here is a way to determine if your electricity has gone off for a time — enough time for food to spoil and the power to return so that the contents appear to be fine. First: Fill a plastic cup about half-full with water and freeze it. Second: Place a coin on top of the ice and replace the cup in the freezer. When you return, just check the cup. If the coin is still on top of the ice, all is well. If, on the other hand, the coin is in the bottom and the cup has ice in it, that means there has been a complete thaw and refreeze when the electricity returned. The contents of the freezer/refrigerator should be discarded. If the coin is below the ice surface, but not on the bottom, this indicates a thaw that was not a total thaw. Again, to be safe, toss everything out. — Alan M. in New Jersey Alan, this is a very good hint indeed! Others put ice cubes in a plastic bag. If they are melted and all spread out, the power has been off — not sure how long, though. Thanks! — Heloise Full feeder Dear Heloise: When I read the letter suggesting using an old T-shirt to make a bird-cage cover, I knew I had to write to recommend the best idea I had for my birds. I bought a small, outdoor bird feeder that fits in the bottom of the cage. It holds at least two to three weeks’ worth of seeds, and the husks fall right onto the bottom of the cage. I have gone on vacation twice, and the birds have been fine, as they had enough food and water. I might not have done that had I not had two parakeets that are content with each other. — A Bird Lover, via email

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 21-year-old man who has been a successful swimmer in high school and now in college. Over the past few months, I have become obsessed with developing six-pack abs. I have never had much success with women, and I thought that looking like a movie star might finally get me noticed and make me feel good about myself. As a result, I have become obsessive about my diet. I have dropped 10 pounds, mostly muscle, and my performance in the pool has suffered. If I don’t see perfect definition between every ab and don’t exercise for at least 2 1/2 hours a day, I feel fat and guilty whenever I eat. I have awakened in the middle of the night worrying about what I’ll eat the next day. I’m concerned for the future when my metabolism will inevitably slow down. I have begun to think that death is a better scenario than being fat, or feeling that way. I want to be able to enjoy eating again and get my life back. I don’t want to tell my parents or friends for fear of seeming weakminded. Where can I go for help? — FEELING LOST IN NEW MEXICO DEAR FEELING LOST: Physical perfection is no guarantee that you’ll find love. Liking yourself and accepting yourself for who you are is what attracts others. Although “looking like a movie star” can be an asset — depending upon who the movie star is —
