In the news 3 JBER Army units to be deactivated

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON (AP) — Three Army units at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage will be deactivated this week. KTUU reports this is part of the Army’s reorganization plan announced last January. Overall, the Anchorage facility will lose about 800 positions, but Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks will gain about 370. The soldiers aren’t being forced out of the Army, though some may choose to end their careers. Others will stay in Alaska, while others will be transferred out of state. The three units, from the 6th Engineer Battalion, 2d Engineer Brigade, will stand down in a Thursday ceremony.

With bellies still swollen from a lack of food, 35 dogs are on their way to recovery after being rescued Monday. The dogs are currently housed at the Alaska’s Extended Life Animal Sanctuary in Nikiski. On Monday night two Soldotna residents along with Tim Colbath and Sue Whipp, who run the non-profit sanctuary, and volunteers from the Domestic Animal Protection League of the Kenai Peninsula rescued the dogs on Knight Drive just outside of Soldotna city limits. “They look so much better,” Whipp said on Wednesday. The dogs are becoming more active with proper nourishment. The voluntary rescue took place from about 8-10 p.m. The dogs had been housed in a 10--by-20-foot room and most of the animals likely Photo by Kaylee Osowski/Peninsula Clarion had never been outside, Col- Sue Whipp of the Alaska’s Extended Life Animal Sanctuary in Nikiski feeds the 35 dogs bath said. rescued from a home on Knight Drive near Soldotna Wednesday.

The new Ninilchik Emergency Services facility is open and active, one year after the groundbreaking. The building was completed in June, and was unveiled to the public during an open house August 9. Ninilchik Emergency Services, which is a local nonprofit, set to designing and erecting a facility for housing their staff of 19 volunteer responders and four emergency vehicles four years ago, said NES board member Steve Vanek. The single-level, fourbay building now has locker storage, showers, bathrooms, adequate equipment space and a common room for volunteers on shift, he said. Fire chief Mike Chilhuly, EMT level 1-3 medics and emergency trauma tech first responders make up the response team utilizing the facility with two pumper trucks, a fourwheeler and ambulance in their response arsenal. “The four-wheeler is necessary for this area,” Vanek said. “The beach is right here, and we have so many clam diggers.” NES received a $2.5 million grant from the state, which was See NEW, page A-7

Juneau hires lawyer Fish and Game reminds fishers to investigate hazing to return personal-use permits

JUNEAU (AP) — The Juneau School District has hired an Anchorage attorney to help investigate alleged hazing involving high school athletes and a wooden paddle. Schools Superintendent Mark Miller announced Tuesday that attorney John Sedor is coming on board for the investigation, the Juneau Empire reported. Parents have complained that their high school-age children who are athletes were kidnapped and beaten with paddles by upperclassman on May 31. The district has been investigating the incident since June. The police department also looked into the matter, but ended its criminal investigation

without any arrests or charges. Miller said the district is looking into violations of board policy and state statutes, unlike police, who look at possible violations of the penal code. Sedor will be speaking with students and staff, Miller said at Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting. Miller said Sedor already has been talking to adults with direct knowledge of the incident and will soon start interviewing students. “We can’t rely on what we read in the news as what we take action on,” he said. “We have to verify all those facts.” Police ended their investigation after no witnesses were See HAZING, page A-7

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is reminding residents who utilized the Upper Cook Inlet personal-use fisheries this year to turn in their permits by Friday. This includes permits used for dipnetting on the Kenai, Fish Creek and Kasilof rivers, as well as personal-use setnetting on the Kasilof River. Even if a permit holder did not use the personal-use fisheries, or was not able to catch fish, the permits must still be returned.

Paid Advertisement

Sport Fish Area Management Biologist Robert Begich said permit holders that fail to comply can be subject to a $200 fine. Anyone who does not return the permit will receive a reminder after Aug. 15. “It is important to collect or receive permit returns to give the department estimates about the harvest of salmon by species and by location,” Begich said. “The harvest information is used to estimate the total number of salmon in runs to various rivers where personal use fisheries occur which is important to managing the salmon stocks for sustainabil-

ity.” Permit information is also used in the Board of Fisheries regulatory process, Begich said. There are options for permit holders whose permit was lost or damaged, and Fish and Game has specific directions for properly documenting how the permits were used this season. Permits can be turned in at local offices, or mailed to the Fish and Game Anchorage office. Kelly Sullivan can be reached at kelly.sullivan@ peninsulaclarion.com.

Woman drives to hospital after mauling ANCHORAGE (AP) — A 57-year-old woman drove herself to a hospital after she was mauled by a brown bear in Alaska, state troopers said Wednesday. Wildlife troopers were notified Tuesday afternoon that Thea Thomas of Cordova was attacked by the bear while hiking on Heney Ridge Trail in the Cordova area. Thomas sustained substantial injuries, but they are not believed to be life-threatening, according to troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters. Peters said she was unable to discuss the woman’s specific injuries because of privacy issues. Thomas was listed in fair condition Wednesday at an Anchorage hospital, where she was transferred after checking in at her local hospital. Salmon were actively spawning in a nearby stream as Thomas hiked alone with her dog and a friend’s dog, Peters said. The dogs ran off, then returned shortly with the bear running after them. The bear noticed Thomas and attacked her multiple times. The dogs took off again as Thomas was being mauled.

What Others Say

More jobs available, but paying less Two new reports are out this week

that, taken together, provide a pretty good picture of how the U.S. labor force has fared since the economic recovery began in June 2009. On Monday, the U.S. Conference of Mayors released a report, prepared by IHS Global Insight, noting that U.S. payroll employment reached an all-time high this spring, finally surpassing the prerecession peak of 138.4 million jobs, reached in the first quarter of 2008. Then, the Labor Department reported Tuesday that there were 4.7 million job openings on the last business day in June, not only a slight uptick from May, but also the highest number of openings in 13 years. If the reports stopped there, it would be cause for celebration, from Orange County, California, to Orange County, Florida. But, as a wise man famously advised, all that glitters is not gold. Indeed, the Conference of Mayors report laments that jobs gained during the economic recovery pay an average 23 percent less than jobs lost during the so-called Great Recession. The annual wage was $61,637 in sectors where jobs were lost in the economic downturn, which began in December 2007, while the average wage of new jobs gained through the second quarter of this year was only $47,171. “This wage gap,” said the report, “represents $93 billion in lost wages.” As to the Labor Department’s monthly report on Job Openings and Labor Turnover - known as JOLTS - it has been held out by Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen as an important barometer of the state of the nation’s job market. Continued strength in the next several JOLTS reports could portend a move by the Fed to ratchet up short-term interest rates, which would be most welcomed by inflation hawks, who complain that the nation’s central bank has kept shortterm rates too low for too long. But Ms. Yellen and the Fed’s board of governors are not strictly looking at job openings. They also are looking at the number of workers who voluntarily quit jobs and the number of workers hired. Indeed, when workers voluntarily leave their employers, it usually means they have found better - usually higher-paying - jobs. That’s a sign of a dynamic labor market. Similarly, when that nation’s employers are competing with each other to hire workers to fill job openings, it’s a sign of robust economic growth. In June, some 2.53 million workers quit a job, the most since June 2008. Meanwhile, some 4.8 million Americans were hired in June. Regrettably, that quit rate was a mere 1.8 percent in June, which is trending somewhat upward, but remains at a historically low level. And, while monthly hires are trending in the right direction, they have yet to return to prerecession levels. So, American workers are to be forgiven if they are not especially bullish about the nation’s labor market. After five years of putative economic recovery, they almost certainly expected more. — Orange County Register, Santa Ana, California, Aug. 12

Classic Doonesbury, 1976

By GARRY TRUDEAU

House District 29

Chenault: Address needs, control spending I am very humbled and proud that the voters of my House District have had faith in my abilities to send me to Juneau for the past 7 terms. I am also proud of the fact that my colleagues in the State House have selected me as the Speaker of the House for the past six years. I have strived to meet the needs of my constituents and have and will continue to place an emphasis on education; road improvements; life, health and safety needs and economic opportunities. One accomplishment of which I am particularly proud is the work I have undertaken to promote a gas pipeline. Beginning with House Bill 369, in 2010, which set up a team to look at aspects of an in-state gasline to House Bill 9 and finally House Bill 4, establishing the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation and its’ duties, which were sponsored or co-sponsored by either Representative Hawker or myself, promoting an in-state gasline has definitely been one of the achievements of which I believe will bring lower energy costs, jobs and energy security to the residents of our state and district. Without the passage of HB 369 and House Bill 4, I don’t believe we would have had the progress that we are now seeing on an Alaska LNG project that is being re-

Mike Chenault viewed and planned by the state, AGDC, the producers and TransCanada. I will continue to work with all parties to do whatever I can to see a project through its completion. Education is and has been a priority for me as well. We have continually provided additional funding for education throughout the time I have been in office. The most important part to remember we’ve funded both inside and outside of the foundation formula. State funding in FY04 for education totaled $675.5 million and has increased to the point that in FY 14, over $1,9 billion in state funds was invested in our educational system. Our total investment in K-12 is over $2.8 billion when you take into account state, local and federal dollars for both operating and capital expenditures. An increase in the area cost differential for our district is another aspect of the formula that I fought for and achieved, which meant that the Kenai Peninsula School District was treated fairly and received additional funding due to the number of rural schools within our district. There have been numerous requests for capital improvements throughout not only

my district but the entire Peninsula as well. Road funds for the Borough, capital improvements for Kenai Peninsula College, fire stations for Ninilchik, Nikiski and Bear Creek, the Sea Life Center in Seward, harbor improvements, the Sterling Community Center, Bear Creek flood mitigation, Boys and Girls Club, the Kenai State Fair in Ninilchik, areawide school projects, emergency response equipment, landfill improvements, and numerous other projects to promote, the health, safety, quality of life we expect on the Peninsula, and promoting economic opportunities have been priorities for me and Peninsula residents It is imperative we begin a systematic approach to controlling the state’s operating budget. I sponsored legislation that requires a governmental audit of each state agency within a ten-year period to look at all programs within each department to determine whether or not each of these functions is providing the services for which it is intended and to look for cost cutting measures. This is a start of bringing government spending under control. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I would appreciate your vote in the primary and general elections.

Knudsen: Get informed, get out and vote August 19th will soon be here and Alaskans will be voting on Ballot Measure One to decide if Oil Tax Reform will be repealed or remain in place. In my opinion, and from all the predictions that I have seen, the oil flowing through the pipeline will continue to decline with SB 21 in place, so I am voting to Repeal. “YES” This affects every Alaskan now and in the future. People need to listen to the arguments on both sides and vote for what they think will be the best solution for themselves and all Alaskans. In Alaska, we often have “outside” companies doing work in local areas. It is “good practice” and “good business” for the com-

Rocky Knudsen panies to hire as many locals as they can and spend money at local businesses. It makes the local people respect them and feel good about them being in the community. I know that some companies do this, but I have worked for companies that don’t believe they owe anything to the local economy. I would like to see all companies working on the Kenai Peninsula contributing to our economy. Funding for public education has not changed in four years, but costs have increased. The best investment we can make

for our future is providing a high quality education for our children to ensure they will have good jobs here at home when they become adults. I have never held or run for a political office before. Over the years, I haven’t kept up on decisions that were being made in the government. I just thought, if it doesn’t affect me right now, don’t worry about it. Well, that was a mistake on my part. Now I am learning that just like being in school, when you get behind it is hard to catch up. I encourage everyone to stay as informed as they can on political issues and be a voice in your community. GET OUT AND VOTE

House District 30

Olson: Effort has state moving forward It has been an honor and a privilege to represent you at home and in Juneau for the past five terms. I am running again because we are at a crossroads, one path will lead us to jobs, an educated workforce, prosperity and rational utilization of our vast natural resources. The other path will not. I have the skill-sets and knowledge to ensure we continue along the first path. We are now closer than ever to not only monetizing our stranded North Slope natural gas, but utilizing a portion of it in-state both to heat and power our homes and for value added industries. I would suggest that anyone who has not driven up the North Road lately, do so. Take a look at the new construction, all the new oil service companies and the renaissance of older properties. Cook Inlet is booming with new exploration and site development for the new LNG terminal. The 28th Legislature was a success. We continued to adequately fund education, we took strides to keep the retirement system solvent by reducing future payments, and save money for the lean years. Until the gas line comes on line and the throughput in TAPS increases, we must guard against overspending at every level of government. I have the budgeting experience for this important task while making sure

Kurt Olson our communities see a fair share of capital projects funding. I worked not only on energy issues but on reducing the workers’ compensation insurance impact on both small and large businesses. Recently, Governor Parnell came to our district and signed three pieces of legislation that are expected to have a significant impact on workers compensation rates. When you first elected me, I promised to work on three things; jobs and the economy, public safety and education. I have kept those promises. During my years in Juneau, I have had great success in passing legislation to benefit my district and the state, while staying true to my promises. I passed legislation increasing the penalties for anti-trust violations by individuals from $20,000 to $1,000,000 and by corporations from $50,000 to $50,000,000 – making ours some of the toughest in the country. As a freshman legislator I changed the fire season start date to allow the Division of Forestry to begin preparing for early wild-land fires a month sooner. This has helped save lives and untold millions in property across the state, since its passage.

This includes the recent Funny River fire. My “Little Davis Bacon” bill means that you get more for your public dollar when municipalities award contracts smaller jobs. The trigger amount had not been adjusted since the early 1900’s. The legislation was supported by unions and municipalities statewide. My HB 198 had an immediate positive effect on oil and gas leases across the state. It required producers to develop leases and not warehouse them. My bills are not necessarily flashy or high profile but they have been critical improvements to state statutes governing business actions while protecting individuals. Issues that I will be working on in the 29th Legislature will be on track with my past promises. It is imperative that we revisit the Area Cost Differential to make sure our school district receives the funds we are entitled to. I will continue my work to lower workers’ comp rates to help not only businesses but to get injured workers back on the job. My efforts to strengthen public safety and infrastructure will also continue. Thank you again for allowing me to represent you. I ask for your vote and thank you for participating in the process.

Thornton: Pay attention, do the right thing Theodore Roosevelt said, “Knowing what’s right doesn’t mean much unless you do what’s right.” Service leadership means getting out there, often times getting dirty, tired, going it alone; to do what is right for others. Empowering others as individuals, groups, and communities to achieve their goals with no gain to self are attributes that make great leaders. There will always be those that sit on the sidelines, complaining, yet never get up the momentum to try for fear of failure, or waiting for others to take the lead. When I decided to run for office, I knew and know that as “the newcomer” my experience in being a state representative could be a bit of a hindrance. My experience is based on hard work, advocating for, and serving our community through many organizations, and as the Speaker for the Coalition of Student Leaders for 34,000 students across the state and advocating in Juneau for five legislative sessions. During this time a mentor and service leader said, “There are a lot less of C

Shauna Thornton us in District 30 than there are students at the university and you have done a great job with that opportunity as the leader of student groups. With many awards and kudos in the past five years” this mentor and many other mentors gave me the impetus to join on the campaign trail. Knowing I was not the incumbent, and would have far less money to spend, yet in my heart I knew it was the right thing to do. My goal in this was to give voices to the many in the community that felt as if their voices were unheard. Service leadership has given me the tools to take on the task, these attributes include being down to earth, in touch with our community, and listening with an open mind and heart. I will work hard to protect our Alaska values and educational opportunities, listen and fight for what is right. Experience has many downfalls, as does the lack of it. Being in the trenches hearing the voices that are not always heard, engag-

ing in your community, cleaning the beach, giving a hand to a group, sharing your talents and building others as leaders, listening and hearing those in the community and moving toward a common goal, is never a wrong choice. Without this one becomes apathetic, and visionless, a drone. While meeting with others in our community remembering while we do not have all the answers and knowing through listening, paying attention and finding common ground we all gain what is most important at our core, our sense of community, belonging and value. We have many experienced leaders not engaged and out of touch, and just sitting on their laurels giving minimal effort and even less in results. The leaders we remember are those that get out there, pay attention, serve their communities, and do the right thing. Protecting the process of democracy does not require anything more than, allowing those with differing beliefs, a voice at the table finding compromises that bring us together as a community. In essence, paying attention and doing the right thing!

Entrepreneurship opens doors for some with autism By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — When Matt Cottle asked his boss to let him work in the supermarket’s bakery, she told him he’d never do anything more than collect grocery carts. After six years of bagging groceries and pushing carts, Cottle wanted more. He had already learned how to do some baking. Cottle is autistic. And today he’s an entrepreneur, the owner of Stuttering King Bakery, turning out batches of cookies, brownies and scones for cafes and businesses and groups that need catering. “I was like, OK, I am destined to do something greater than that,” Cottle says in the kitchen of his family’s Scottsdale, Arizona, home, where he spends hours each day filling orders. He generates $1,200 monthly. He named the business for Britain’s King George VI, whose struggles to speak were the subject of the film “The King’s Speech.” Cottle is one of a few known small business owners with autism, a brain disorder that affects a person’s ability to comprehend, communicate and interact socially. There are varying degrees of autism, but even autistic people with the greatest capabilities can find it impossible to get a job because they take longer to read or process information, or because they struggle to hold conversations. One in 68 people have some form of autism, according to government figures. There is a growing movement to help autistic adults find jobs, but for Cottle and his family, the answer was a business of his own. Cottle had taken training to do search and rescue operations. And he tried working in a bakery. Both times, he encountered people who didn’t understand him, and who ended up yelling at and insulting him, his mother, Peg Cottle, says. He wanted to enroll in a culinary school, but an administrator gently told him and his parents it wouldn’t work out. Four years ago, the Southwest Autism Research and Research Center, or SAARC, connected Cottle with a pastry chef who mentored him. In August 2012, he unexpectedly got an order from a cafe operated by Phoenix-based SAARC. At that point, Cottle told his parents he was starting his own baking business.

Changing attitudes Many autistic people can run businesses if they’re given the chance to discover something they like and develop skills around their interests, says Temple Grandin, one of the best-known advocates for people with autism. “If you get them exposed to something, they can get a career,” says Grandin, author of “The Autistic Brain.” Grandin, who has autism, didn’t speak until she was four years old. In her teens, she was bullied by classmates who made fun of the way she spoke — she repeated the same phrases over and over. “They called me ‘tape recorder.’” she says. In her teens, Grandin was exposed to horses at a boarding school and cattle on her aunt’s ranch, and she began working with farm animals. She eventually created a business designing equipment for handling livestock. People with the most severe autism aren’t able to work because their disabilities limit their ability to learn. But it’s only in the last two decades that society has come to realize that many people with disabilities including autism can work, says Paul Pizzutello, principal of Reach Academy, a West Harrison, New York, school whose students include some who are autistic. “With many people with autism, it’s not their intellect that a problem, it’s their ability to engage with their environment and manage social contacts,” he

In this July 15 photo, Matt Cottle, owner of Stuttering King Bakery, works a new batch of chocolate chip banana muffins in his parents’ kitchen in Scottsdale, Ariz. Cottle is one of a few known small business owners with autism, a brain disorder that affects a person’s ability to comprehend, communicate and interact socially.

says.

Inspired by a king When Cottle’s parents tried to help him get a job, they explained to prospective bosses that because he is autistic, he needs more time to understand instructions. The companies either didn’t want to take the time to learn how to work with him or they assumed Cottle might do or say inappropriate things. He grew frustrated by the unsuccessful attempts to find work. “He was at a brick wall before he started his bakery,” Peg Cottle says. Soon after starting, Cottle and his mother attended entrepreneurship training classes offered by Seed Spot, an organization that helps socially responsible businesses. “He’s legitimate. The product he produces is the real deal. His disability doesn’t even come into play as far as I’m concerned,” says Chris Norcross, general manager of building company and Stuttering King customer Mortenson Construction. He orders as many as 300 cookies at a time. The Cottles recently moved to a home with a larger kitchen, one that will allow Cottle to bake more and increase his revenue. He wants to expand.

A family affair Autistic owners don’t run their companies by themselves. Support from family members to interact with the public, take orders and handle marketing and billing is vital. Peg Cottle takes orders and does marketing for Stuttering King Bakery. Cottle is able to speak, but talking on the phone can be difficult. If a customer gets chatty and strays from the basics of placing an order, it can be hard for Cottle to understand. Vinnie Ireland has little language ability but owns landscap-

ing company Weed Whacking Weasel in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The autistic man does leaf-blowing, hedge-trimming, mulching and other tasks, and works with an assistant trained to help the autistic. His mother, Lori Ireland, handles marketing and billing. The business has between six and 10 residential and commercial customers, depending on the time of year. “When we tell him it’s time to go to work, he jumps up,” Lori Ireland says. Autistic business owners are much like other entrepreneurs who concentrate on creating a product or delivering a service, and delegate the administrative work to others, says Vinnie’s father, Gregg Ireland, a mutual fund portfolio manager and cofounder of Extraordinary Ventures, a group that finds opportunities for autistic people. “In my business, I wouldn’t be marketing. I wouldn’t be able to keep the books,” Gregg Ireland says. Ireland’s parents wanted to find a way to keep their son occupied and to build his selfesteem. They got the idea for Weed Whacking Weasel because he enjoyed doing gardening.

Overcoming autism and more Joe Steffy is autistic and has Down syndrome, a congenital condition that affects a person’s ability to understand and learn. He’s unable to speak. But he has owned and run Poppin Joe’s Gourmet Kettle Korn in Kansas City, Kansas, since 2005. Steffy loves to work, his father Ray says. His family didn’t believe teachers and counselors who said when he was in his teens that he’d need to live in a group home, that he wouldn’t be able to work because he has a short attention span and can’t focus. Instead, his parents looked for something he could do. They found the answer in a

popcorn company. About two-thirds of the company’s revenue comes from events such as fairs and festivals. Customers also include convenience stores and corporations that give popcorn bags to employees. “There isn’t any job he can’t do,” Ray Steffy says of his son. He pops, seasons and bags the corn. And he supervises five part-time workers, all of whom he helps interview before they’re hired. Joe Steffy responded in writing to questions asked by a reporter. He said he loves his work and the independence it gives him.

Playing to his strengths Although Christopher Tidmarsh graduated from college with a degree in languages, environmental science and chemistry, he was in the same limbo as other autistic people. A postcollege internship didn’t work out because co-workers didn’t make the accommodations he needed, like labeling drawers where he could find supplies, or communicating with him through emails rather than by talking. Job interviews were nearly impossible because he needs time to process the questions and come up with answers. “People in the traditional work place don’t know how to work with people with autism like me,” Tidmarsh says. The solution was starting Green Bridge Growers, a company that grows vegetables in water, a process called aquaponics. Tidmarsh has been building the business in South Bend, Indiana, with his mother, Janice Pilarski, the last two years. They came up with the idea for the business because it would allow him to use the knowledge he developed in college and internships with organic farmers.

Nation & World Obama weighing refugee options

Around the World AP video journalist Simone Camilli, translator and 4 others killed in Gaza explosion GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Six people — including an Associated Press video journalist — were killed Wednesday when leftover ordnance believed to have been dropped in an Israeli airstrike blew up in the Gaza Strip. Simone Camilli and his Palestinian translator, Ali Shehda Abu Afash, were covering the aftermath of the war between Israel and Islamic militants in Gaza when they were killed. The blast occurred as Gaza police engineers were trying to defuse unexploded ordnance fired by Israel. Four police engineers also were killed, police said. Three people, including AP photographer Hatem Moussa, were badly injured. Moussa told a colleague that they were filming the scene when an initial explosion went off. He said he was hit by shrapnel and began to run when there was a second blast, which knocked him out. He woke up in a hospital and later underwent surgery before he was transferred to a hospital in Israel for more advanced care. Police officials in Gaza said the blast took place at a special site set up in the northern town of Beit Lahiya where authorities have collected unexploded ordnance to be defused. The cause of the blast was not immediately known.

Kurdish forces say they urgently need more weapons, say evenly matched with militants MAKHMOUR, Iraq — The Kurdish commander stared down a road shimmering in the heat, then gestured to where the Islamic militants were deployed, plotting their next advance on this dusty Iraqi frontier town. There was very little his Kurdish fighters could do about it. “They have better weapons,” Lt. Col. Saadi Soruchi said of the insurgents. “American weapons.” The Kurdish forces trying to defend frontline towns like Makhmour in their autonomous region of northern Iraq have felt the brunt of the Islamic extremist fighters’ attacks and know how ferocious they are. The militants are bristling with American weapons and armored Humvees looted from Iraqi arsenals, giving them a powerful edge. After Washington’s promises to arm them, the Kurds say they badly need heavier weapons from the United States to stem the expansion of the Islamic State group.

Ukraine death toll rises; government onslaught on rebels intensifies; aid stuck DONETSK, Ukraine — A rebel-held city in eastern Ukraine came under intensified shelling Wednesday as the U.N. revealed that the death toll from the fighting between government troops and separatists has nearly doubled in the last two weeks. A spokeswoman for the U.N.’s human rights office, Cecile Pouilly, said the organization’s “very conservative estimates” show the overall death toll has risen to at least 2,086 people as of Aug. 10, up from 1,129 on July 26. Pouilly said at least 4,953 others have been wounded in the fighting since mid-April. While the humanitarian crisis reaches critical stage in at least one major Ukrainian city, trucks apparently carrying some 2,000 tons of aid have lain idle at a military depot in Russia. Moscow insists it coordinated the dispatch of the goods, which range from baby food and canned meat to portable generators and sleeping bags, with the international Red Cross, but Ukraine says it’s worried the mission may be a cover for an invasion. A spokesman for local authorities in the main rebel-controlled city of Donetsk told The Associated Press on Wednesday that rocket attacks over the previous night had increased in intensity.

Brazilian presidential candidate Eduardo Campos, 6 others die in plane crash SANTOS, Brazil — Brazilian presidential candidate Eduardo Campos died Wednesday when the small plane that was carrying him and several campaign officials plunged into a residential neighborhood in the port city of Santos. All seven people aboard the plane, including a campaign photographer and cameraman, a press adviser and two pilots, died in the crash, Santos City Hall press officer Patricia Fagueiro told The Associated Press. In a solemn address, President Dilma Rousseff declared three days of official mourning in honor of Campos and said she would suspend her campaign during that time. “Today Brazil is in mourning and reeling from a death that took the life of a promising young politician,” she said, adding that Campos had been facing “an extremely promising future.” Campos, the scion of a political family from the northeastern state of Pernambuco, had been an ally of Rousseff but broke away ahead of the campaign for the Oct. 4 presidential election.

By JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent

EDGARTOWN, Mass. — President Barack Obama is considering a range of military options, including airlifts and creating safe passages, for rescuing thousands of Iraqi refugees trapped on a mountain, and is expected to make a decision in days, the White House said Wednesday. A U.S. military-led rescue mission on Sinjar Mountain could involve putting American troops on the ground. But the White House insisted that their mission would be strictly a humanitarian rescue and would not constitute a return to combat 2½ years after the last U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq. “We don’t believe that involves U.S. troops re-entering a combat role in Iraq,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser. “It involves frankly a very difficult logistical challenge of moving folks who are in danger on that mountain into a safer position.” The U.S. has been delivering food and water to the refugees for several days. But Rhodes said it was unsustainable to let thousands of people remain on the mountain. “There needs to be a lasting

‘We need a plan to get these people off that mountain and get them to a place of safety. Detailed plans are now being put in place and are underway and that Britain will play a role in delivering them.’ — British Prime Minister David Cameron solution that gets that population to a safe space where they can receive more permanent assistance,” he told reporters traveling with the president during his vacation on the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard. The Pentagon sent 129 U.S. troops to Iraq on Tuesday to assess the scope of the humanitarian crisis and the options for getting them safely off the mountain. Rhodes said that given the urgency of the situation, Obama was expected to receive their final recommendations quickly and make a decision within days. Thousands of Iraqi religious minorities sought refuge on Sinjar Mountain after militants from the Islamic State group swept through their village in northern Iraq. In addition to the humanitarian aid drops, the U.S. has conducted airstrikes

against Islamic State targets, both to protect American personnel in the region and stop the militants from moving on the civilians again. Obama has ruled out sending combat troops back into Iraq, where nearly 4,500 Americans were killed during the eight year war that ended in 2011. Rhodes suggested the U.S. would undertake a rescue mission with help from allies, including Kurdish forces that are receiving arms from the U.S., and the British. British Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed Wednesday that his country stood ready to assist with that effort. “We need a plan to get these people off that mountain and get them to a place of safety,” he said. “Detailed plans are now being put in place and are underway and that Britain will play a role in delivering them.”

The British military has already joined the U.S. in delivering supplies to the mountain in recent days. Rhodes noted that there have also been offers of humanitarian assistance from France, Canada and Australia. The White House has not said specifically how many people they believe to be on the mountain, though estimates range in the tens of thousands. Rhodes said several thousand have escaped, but the U.S. is seeking a more firm estimate from the assessment team now on the ground. The Pentagon said the assessment team was transported to Irbil, capital of the largely autonomous Iraqi Kurdish region, by a small number of V-22 Osprey aircraft from an undisclosed location in the Middle East. The assessment team joins 90 U.S. military advisers already in Baghdad and 160 in a pair of operations centers — one in Irbil and one in Baghdad, the central government’s capital — working with Iraqi security forces. They were in addition to about 455 U.S. security forces and 100 military personnel working in the Office of Security Cooperation in the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

Egypt: Israel, Hamas to extend temporary truce By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH and TIA GOLDENBERG Associated Press

CAIRO — Israel and Hamas agreed to extend a temporary cease-fire for five days, Egyptian and Palestinian officials said Wednesday, potentially averting renewed violence and permitting the sides to continue to negotiate a substantive deal to end the war in Gaza. Egyptian mediators had been racing to pin down a long-term cease-fire as a temporary truce was set to expire at midnight. The Israeli military said five rockets were launched at Israel in the hours leading up to the end of the cease-fire. Egypt’s foreign ministry and the head of the Palestinian negotiating team announced the extension. A spokesman for Israel’s prime minister had no immediate comment. The cease-fire extension is meant to grant both sides additional time to negotiate a longer-term truce and a roadmap for the coastal territory. The lull in violence has also been a welcome reprieve for Israelis and Palestinians living in Gaza. During the temporary cease-fire, Israel halted military operations in the war-battered coastal territory and Gaza militants stopped firing rockets, aside from the ones late Wednesday. “We have agreed on a cease-

Drug crime penalties reduced, attention turns to sentences for white-collar crime WASHINGTON — The federal panel that sets sentencing policy eased penalties this year for potentially tens of thousands of nonviolent drug offenders. Now, defense lawyers and prisoner advocates are pushing for similar treatment for a different category of defendants: swindlers, embezzlers, insider traders and other white-collar criminals. Lawyers who have long sought the changes say a window to act opened once the U.S. Sentencing Commission cleared a major priority from its agenda by cutting sentencing guideline ranges for drug crimes. The commission, which meets Thursday to vote on priorities for the coming year, already has expressed interest in examining punishments for whitecollar crime. And the Justice Department, though not advocating wholesale changes, has said it welcomes a review. It’s unclear what action the commission will take, especially given the public outrage at fraudsters who stole their clients’ life savings and lingering anger over the damage inflicted by the 2008 financial crisis. But the discussion about tweaking sentences for economic crimes comes as some federal judges have chosen to ignore the existing guidelines as too stiff for some cases and as the Justice Department looks for ways to cut costs in an overpopulated federal prison system. Sentencing guidelines are advisory rather than mandatory, but judges still rely heavily on them for consistency’s sake. — The Associated Press C

fire for five days,” said Azzam al-Ahmad, the head of the Palestinian delegation to the Cairo talks. He noted that there had been “significant progress” but that disagreements remained over the wording regarding security arrangements, reconstruction efforts for the Gaza Strip and the permissible fishing area. The two sides were considering an Egyptian proposal that partially addresses their demands, but deep differences have kept the deal in doubt. Hamas is seeking an end to a crippling blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt in 2007. The blockade has greatly limited the movement of Palestinians in and out of the territory of 1.8 million people. It has also restricted the flow of goods into Gaza and blocked virtually all exports. Israel says the closure is necessary to prevent arms smuggling, and officials are reluctant to make any concessions that would allow Hamas to declare victory. Israel wants Hamas to disarm, or at least be prevented from re-arming. Hamas has recovered from previous rounds of violence with Israel, including a major three-week ground operation in January 2009 and another weeklong air offensive in 2012. It now controls an arsenal of thousands of rockets, some with long ranges and

powerful. Gaza militants fired more than 3,000 rockets toward Israel during the war. Neither side is likely to see all of its demands met, but the Egyptian proposal tabled Tuesday offered some solutions. A member of the Palestinian delegation at the Cairo talks said the proposal calls for easing parts of the Israeli blockade of Gaza, bringing some relief to the territory. The proposal leaves the key areas of disagreement, including Hamas’ demand for a full lifting of the blockade and Israeli calls for Hamas to disarm, to later negotiations. The Palestinian negotiator said he had some reservations about the proposal and would try to improve it. “We would like to see more cross-border freedom, and also to have the question of a Gaza seaport and airport discussed,” he said. The Palestinian official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss negotiations with journalists. As the talks continued, Hamas indicated it was sticking to its demands. In recorded remarks broadcast on Hamas radio Wednesday, Ismail Haniyeh, the top Hamas leader in Gaza, said that “achieving a permanent truce can come only through lifting the blockade on Gaza.”

Israel, meanwhile, signaled it was ready to respond to renewed fire from Gaza following the end of the cease-fire. “We will continue to defend, continue to operate. We will be ready for any effort, any way, at any time,” Israel’s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, told reporters. Amid the cease-fire, an Associated Press video journalist and a freelance Palestinian translator working with him were killed Wednesday when ordnance left over from the war exploded as they reported on the conflict’s aftermath. Simone Camilli, a 35-yearold Italian, and Ali Shehda Abu Afash, 36, died when an unexploded missile believed to have been dropped in an Israeli airstrike blew up as Gaza police engineers worked to neutralize it in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya. Four police engineers also were killed. Three other people, including AP photographer Hatem Moussa, were badly wounded. The war began on July 8 with Israel’s air campaign against Gaza’s Hamas rulers, whom Israel blamed for the kidnapping and murder in June of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank. Nine days later, Israel sent in ground troops to destroy Hamas’ underground crossborder tunnels constructed for attacks inside Israel.

The crew lined up kennels and loaded the dogs with little hassle and the owners were grateful for the help, Colbath said. “They were doing the best they could,” Whipp said about the owners, who willingly surrendered the animals. Krista Schooley and Tabitha Walker, both of Soldotna, found out about the situation that had been going on for years via a Facebook post and decided to do something about it. A few days after reading the post, they went to the house and talked to the owners, offering help. “It took two people in the community who just cared enough to actually knock on their door and be human beings with a loving heart and not judging them for what they are doing, but saying, ‘Hey, here we are we want to help,’” Schooley said. The duo called the sanctuary to help collect and provide a space for the rescued dogs. Of the 35 dogs — primarily a mix of miniature huskies and border collies — nine are four weeks old, 11 are 1-week-old puppies and two of the dogs are pregnant. While most of the dogs were hungry, they appear to be in good health and are social, Whipp said. However, one dog is special needs and is being cared for outside of the sanctuary. In two days, the sanctuary has gone through two large bags of dog food to feed the rescued dogs. Colbath and Whipp are working to get the dogs bathed, de-wormed and to the veterinarian for check ups and to get spayed or neutered. Within a month the sanctuary hopes to start adopting out the dogs. Colbath and Whipp estimate the rescue will cost more than $15,000 with food, medications and spay and neutering costs. Anyone who is interested in donating time or money to help the 35 rescued dogs can call the sanctuary at 907-776-3614 or

Hundreds attend hearing on mine proposal ANCHORAGE (AP) — Hundreds of people turned out in Anchorage to comment on a proposal that would severely restrict development of a massive gold-and-copper mine in the Bristol Bay region. The proposal, made the by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last month, effectively would bar the type of development that the mine’s owner, Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd., has discussed. The agency is hosting public meetings in Alaska this week, though written comments can be submitted through Sept. 19. People on both sides of the issue testified about their love of salmon during Tuesday’s hearing, the Alaska Dispatch News reported. But mine opponents said the project, near the headwaters of a world-premier sockeye salmon fishery, posed too great a threat. Some pointed to the partial failure of a tailings dam in British Columbia that sent contaminated slurry into a lake. Others said the project should be allowed to move through the permitting phase before any action is taken that could curtail development. Tom Collier, CEO of the Pebble Limited Partnership, which is working to advance the project, said it was “ludicrous” to hold a public meeting so soon after releasing a lengthy technical report. “I think this hearing is much

more about show than it is about substance,” he said. EPA’s review of whether to impose restrictions on development, through a rarely invoked process under the federal Clean Water Act, could take a year. The agency’s regional administrator, Dennis McLerran, said he was taking notes from the testimony and said the proposal could be modified. Pebble supporters, though, fear the EPA is on track to preemptively veto the project. The Pebble Partnership and state of Alaska have sued, saying the EPA overstepped its authority. The agency has asked a federal judge to toss the case. At Tuesday’s hearing, tribal leaders, religious leaders, fishermen and environmentalists spoke in support of the EPA. Mary Ann Johnson, who grew up in Naknek on Bristol Bay, said village residents can’t depend on the state to look out for them. Several legislators also testified, some in support of the EPA’s actions, some against. “I’m just a working stiff like everybody else around here. I’m not a lawyer,” said Rep. Pete Higgins, R-Fairbanks, a

dentist by trade. “This is not about tribes. This is not about Pebble mine. This is about government overreach.” The Pebble deposit is on state land. Deantha Crockett, executive director of the Alaska Miners Association, said she regularly takes calls from potential financiers wondering if investing in

mining in Alaska is a safe bet. “And I don’t know what to say to them,” she said. Everett Thompson, a commercial fisherman from Naknek and Bristol Bay Native Corp. shareholder, urged the EPA to stay tough. “I believe it to be arrogant to say fishing and mining can coexist,” he said.

Giants rout White Sox after video review call The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Giants scored seven runs in the seventh inning after a video review led umpires to overturn an out call at home because Chicago catcher Tyler Flowers illegally blocked Gregor Blanco, and San Francisco went on to beat the White Sox 7-1 on Wednesday. With out in the seventh, Chicago first baseman Jose Abreu fielded Joe Panik’s broken-bat grounder to easily throw out Blanco. Giants manager Bruce Bochy challenged the play, and umpires ruled Flowers’ left leg was illegally blocking the plate before the ball arrived. White Sox manager Robin Ventura argued the call and was immediately ejected, setting off an epic protest in which he repeatedly kicked dirt on the plate. San Francisco snapped a fivegame losing streak and Jake Peavy (1-3) won for the first time since April 25 with Boston. Peavy had lost 12

Anthony Ranaudo became the first Boston rookie to start his career 2-0 since Justin Masterson won his first three in 2008 and the Red Sox finished their eight-game trip with five wins.

Selig successor to be introduced Announcement could be today DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

BALTIMORE (AP) — Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig is looking forward to writing a book, teaching history and taking it easy when he retires this winter. Before that happens, however, he hopes to introduce his successor — perhaps as soon as Thursday. Baseball’s 30 owners will meet in Baltimore this week to vote on Selig’s replacement. A seven-man committee whittled down an expansive list to three candidates: MLB Chief Operating Officer Rob Manfred, Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner and MLB Executive Vice President of Business Tim Brosnan. “The process has worked just the way I thought it would,” Selig said Tuesday at the Orioles’ home ballpark. “I gave them a great list of names, and these names were on it.” To win Thursday’s vote, a candidate must receive approval from at least 23 owners. “A lot of other people are making predictions,” Selig said. “I’m staying out of that business because I don’t know.” Asked what would happen if there is an impasse, Selig replied, “This seven-man committee has done really good work. We’ll see what happens.” This is what won’t happen: Selig changing his mind and sticking around. “I thought long and hard before I made my announcement in October of last year,” he said of the announcement, actually made Sept. 26. “I just celebrated my 80th birthday. In life, there’s a time to come but there’s also a time to go. I’m looking forward to that. I

have a lot of things planned.” Those plans include writing an autobiography, teaching at two or three universities and “maybe a little peace and quiet.” “It’s time for baseball to move on and it’s time for me to move on,” he said. “If anybody would have told me back in September of 1992 I’d be here 22 1/2, 23 years, that would have not been conceivable. So, I’m done.” Before he leaves, Selig hopes to see the feud resolved between the Orioles and Washington Nationals over their broadcast rights. The Orioles own a controlling stake in MASN, which televises Nationals games as a result of an agreement when the team moved from Montreal. The Nationals want higher annual broadcast rights payments from MASN, and the network isn’t willing to pay the desired amount. “MASN is an inner-club dispute,” Selig said. “It’s an important goal before I step down. We’ve tried very hard, and we’ll continue to try. We’re doing everything we can.” As far as Thursday’s vote goes, Selig has only one priority. “The only goal I’ve really had all along is, when it’s all over that people can say, ‘Well, it was really fair,’” Selig said. He was delighted to see that, even though the sport doesn’t have a salary cap, small-market teams such as Kansas City, Oakland and Tampa Bay have flourished. “The things we set out to do in the ‘90s, that was the objective,” Selig said. “I always have regarded my job to be to provide hope and faith in as many places as possible. And we’ve done that. Baseball is better off as a result of it.”

Speed beats seed in Youth run With field handicapped by age and gender, speedsters win out By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

With the same names always winning local running races, the Fountain of Youth five-kilometer event at the Tsalteshi Trails is open to an unknown taking the victory. The field is handicapped and seeded into 21 waves, with the (perceived) slowest going out first and the rest of the field following in 30-second intervals. The first wave is comprised of women age

63 and older and men 78 and older, and the final wave is just men ages 20 to 33. Instead of an surprise winner, however, Wednesday¹s race had a familiar face crossing the finish line, as 18-yearold Jonah Theisen of Kenai started nine and a half minutes behind the first wave and passed everyone to win. Theisen’s winning time was 27 minutes, 10.8 seconds, although in real time, he ran a 17:40.8. John Mohorcich, 55,

started in the 14th wave and finished second, about 80 seconds behind Theisen, but ranked fifth overall among the field. Theisen’s brother, Jordan, finished third, over 90 seconds behind Jonah, but actually ran the secondfastest time of the day with a 19:17.2. In a bet to see who was fastest, Tsalteshi Trails Association board member Mike Crawford won out over Paul Ostrander, who was introduced on a prerace promo-

tional poster as “father of superstar runners Taylor and Allie.” In the races that the pair has run in this summer, the average time difference between them has been 59.5 seconds, and coincidentally, the race seedings spaced them apart by one minute, with Ostrander getting the advantage.

Sterling attempt to appeal Clippers sale rejected BRIAN MELLEY Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Donald Sterling’s latest effort to block the $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was rejected Wednesday by a California appeals court. The 2nd District Court of Appeal issued a brief order Wednesday say-

ing it couldn’t halt a sale that had been completed. “The evidence before this court indicates the sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to Steven Ballmer has closed,” the court wrote. “Thus, there is nothing for this court to stay.” Even if the sale hadn’t closed, the three judges said the former owner failed to show he was harmed enough to get a temporary stay.

Ballmer sealed the deal Tuesday after a probate judge cleared the way for Sterling’s estranged wife to sell the team. The Los Angeles Superior Court judge said Shelly Sterling could complete the sale she negotiated after removing her husband of 58 years from the family trust that owned the team because of questions about his mental competence. At the time she negotiated the

record price for an NBA team the league was threatening to seize the team and auction it after banning Donald Sterling for life for making derogatory remarks about blacks. Sterling’s lawyers, who acknowledged in recent court filings that he isn’t a sympathetic figure, derided the “popular” ruling against the unpopular owner. They said they were deeply disappointed with the appel-

late order. “He has been deprived from ownership of the Clippers after 33 years without being accorded appellate review of this harsh result,” attorneys Max Blecher and Bobby Samini said in a written statement. Ballmer’s lawyer, Adam Streisand, said they were “supremely confident” that even with further Sterling appeals, Ballmer is the “undisputed owner.”

Woods backing out of Ryder Cup spot due to ailing back DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

Tiger Woods removed himself from consideration for the Ryder Cup team Wednesday evening with a clear message that he is not healthy enough to play. One day after U.S. captain Tom Watson said he trusted Woods to give him the

“straight skinny” on the condition of his back injury and his game, Woods said he called the 64-year-old captain to say he would not be available. The decision spares Watson from having to leave Woods off the team, and it eliminates a distraction over the next three weeks before Watson announces his three captain’s picks for the Sept. 26-28

matches against Europe at Gleneagles. “I have already spoken to Tom about the Ryder Cup, and while I greatly appreciate his thinking about me for a possible captain’s pick, I took myself out of consideration,” Woods said in a statement on his website. “The U.S. team and the Ryder Cup mean too much to me not to be able to give it C

my best.” That he was even under consideration was mildly surprising. Woods’ best finish this year was a tie for 25th because of nagging back issues at the start of the year that led him to have surgery on March 31. He missed two majors, including the Masters for the first time, and did not return for three

months. In the four events he played upon his return, he missed the cut twice, withdrew during the final round at Firestone and finished 69th in the British Open for his worst 72-hole result in a major. “My primary wish is for Tiger to be healthy and competitive, and I hope that he’ll return to the game very soon,” Watson said in a statement released

by the PGA of America. “Of course, I’m disappointed that Tiger Woods has asked not to be considered for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, and that his health is not where he would like it to be. However, I think we can all agree that we need Tiger Woods in this great sport, and he has taken the high road by informing me early on in the selection process.

Ultimately, Crawford beat Ostrander to the finish line by 53 seconds to finish fifth, although in reality, he was 1:53 faster than Ostrander, who finished seventh. “He ran my legs out from underneath me,” Ostrander remarked. “I’d like to say that I had the wrong strategy, but I think he was just a lot faster than me today.” Ostrander said Crawford caught him at about 13 minutes into the race, at approximately the two-thirds mark. “He was sandbagging the rest of the year,” Ostrander joked. Crawford said the uphills around the Wolf loop favored him, since the course took a reverse route on the loop, which likewise reversed the hills. “I thought if there were downhills, I’d never catch him,” Crawford said. “But that was a hot course on a really hot day, so maybe that was better for me.” The top eight finishers all hailed from the 15th wave or higher, and all but three of the top 18 started in a double-digit wave number.

RAYS 10, RANGERS 1 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Chris Archer had a career-high 12 strikeouts in seven innings and Matt Joyce hit the first of Tampa Bay’s three early home runs. Archer (8-6) had his only two walks in the first three batters he faced. But the hard-throwing right-hander got out of the inning when Alex Rios went down swinging, the first of six consecutive Rangers he struck out.

TIGERS 8, PIRATES 4 DETROIT (AP) — Nick Castellanos homered and tripled, and Detroit rallied to snap a four-game losing streak. The Tigers, who are suddenly facing adversity amid mounting injuries, rallied from a 4-1 deficit on a night when they had to send Buck Farmer to the mound to make his major league debut.

Get away from it all

For adventure, try a fly-out fishing trip By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

While salmon and trout fishing on the Kenai River is what brings anglers from all over the world to the Kenai Peninsula, more guides are providing fly-in fishing trips for visitors looking for the ultimate Alaska wilderness adventure. Talon Air Service, located on Mackey Lake Road in Soldotna, is one flight company that offers a variety of fishing trips to more remote locations on the west side of the Cook Inlet. Fly out fishing combines sight seeing, wildlife viewing with some of the best remote fishing around, said Mark Wackler, owner of Fishology Alaska, a guide outfitter. Wackler, who uses Talon Air to take clients out, said for people interested in a fly-out trip, there are three places worth checking out: Big River Lakes, Kustatan River and Crescent Lake, all within the Lake Clark Preserve and Wilderness. A 30-minute floatplane ride from Mackey Lake takes clients to the west side of the Cook Inlet to Redoubt Bay. Clients board a 19-foot boat and explore the lakes and Wolverine Creek for sockeye and silver salmon along with a guide familiar with the waters. Part of the experience is sharing the fishing holes with brown bears, he said. “Everyone is flying to Big River Lake for silver salmon fishing,” Wackler said. “At the Kustatan River when the silvers come in (late July) the fishing is insane. It is so much fun.” Wackler said his favorite spot is Crescent River, where up-close views of Mount Redoubt from the air are spectacular and on the remote waters the fishing is top-notch. “It has become more popular over the years as people experience it for themselves and word of mouth spreads,” he said. “The scenery is unmatched.” Wackler said while July is peak fishing time on the Kenai River, August and September have become the best fishing months for silvers on the other side of the Cook Inlet. The guides who frequent these areas know trends and what the fish are doing, he said. Monte Roberts, a guide for All Alaska Outdoors in Soldotna, said they offer three fly-out services: floatplane, wheel and the ultimate trip. All Alaska Out-

While anglers are waiting for the waves of silver salmon to flow through the Cook Inlet tributaries, pink salmon are easily accessible and still plentiful. However, a convergence of poor water conditions are negatively affecting fishing climate in the Kenai and Kasilof rivers, said assistant area management biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Jason Pawluk. Due to recent heavy rains and large tides occurring in the Cook Inlet, the large flow in and out of the river mouths is resulting in low numbers of fish moving higher into the streams, Pawluk said. “Water levels on the Kenai are near-

Fish on!

A guide waits to net a pink salmon caught by a member of military who spent two days fishing on the Kenai River August 8 near Soldotna. The Kenai River Foundation hosted the “Wounded Heroes” fishing event that brought more than 70 military members down to the Kenai River and paired them up with area guides who took them fishing August 8-9.

doors uses Talon Air floatplanes, while the wheeled planes from Natron Air, fly from Soldotna Airport to the beach on the west side of the Cook Inlet. From the beach anglers can either use spinners or fly gear for chum salmon, Arctic char between August and September. While fishing in such a secluded area makes for common bear encounters, they are often seen from the safety of a boat, Roberts said. The ultimate trip package, provided by All Alaska Outdoors, is the pursuit for a variety of fish species, from salmon to Dolly Varden, grayling, northern pike and rainbow trout. Along with a guide, clients will travel to multiple spots in one day aboard a Dehavilland Beaver floatplane. “The difference between fly-out and fishing in the Kenai River, those fish

are in clear water streams fished by one group for six hours a day as opposed to all day long by hundreds of boats,” Roberts said. “The scenery on all three trips is beautiful. Overall it makes for an incredible experience.” The floatplane trip to Big River Lakes or Kustatan are $375 per person. The 40-minute flight to Crescent Lake and River is $475 per person. Wackler said the extra $100 is more than worth it. The ultimate fly in fishing expedition costs $750 per person. Alaska Troutfitters in Cooper Landing also offers fly-out fishing trips to several lakes on the Kenai Peninsula. Jeff Whalen said they use Scenic Mountain Air and fly out of Moose Pass. For fishermen looking for grayling, they fly to Paradise Lake, Crescent Lake and Bench Lake. Dolly

Varden fishing is found in Crescent Lake. With Bench and Johnson lakes close to each other one attraction guides like to do is take people fishing for grayling in Bench Lake then hike down the trail to Johnson Lake for rainbow trout, he said. Alaska Troutfitters charges $900 for one person and $1,100 for two people. All the fishing equipment, waders and float tubes are provided. The customers only need to bring a fishing license and lunch, Whalen said. “(Fly-out fishing) is a great option when the river is high or when it’s early in the season,” Whalen said. “It’s just a 20 minute flight so it doesn’t cut into your fishing time.” Reach Dan Balmer at daniel.balmer@peninsulaclarion.com.

This image released by Universal Pictures shows Scarlett Johansson in a scene from “Lucy.”

“Lucy” Universal Pictures 1 hour, 29 minutes “We only use 10 percent of our brains.” That’s one of those strange little science tidbits that you pick up somewhere, repeat a few times without every really putting any thought into it, and then file away as fact. I know I’ve spouted that line and never bothered to see if it was actually true. It’s not, by the way. I spent about two minutes looking it up just now, and lo and behold, we apparently use nearly all parts of our brain at one time or another. I can be forgiven, however, because I’m just a guy who likes to spout science trivia. I didn’t spend $40 million making an action movie about it. French auteur Luc Besson has made some good movies, but “Lucy,” unfortunately, isn’t one of them. False premise aside, I think “Lucy” had the potential to be good. A similarly premised movie, though a dramatic thriller rather than an actioner, 2011’s “Limitless” was pretty good. It benefitted from good

R eeling It In C hris J enness writing, however, a characteristic “Lucy” doesn’t share. At the start of the film, the titular Lucy, played well for about ten minutes by Scarlett Johansson, is arguing with her boyfriend about the delivery of a mysterious briefcase to an equally mysterious Southeast Asian kingpin. Forced into making the drop, a terrified Lucy is thrust into a nightmare where she is kidnapped, drugged, beaten, and winds up as an unwilling mule, supposed to carry the drugs that have been surgically implanted in her lower stomach across the border into the United States. These aren’t just any drugs, however. A powerful new synthetic compound has

been created and, after a brutal beating, said compound begins to leak into poor Lucy’s body. The effect of such a large, sudden dose is to awaken the dormant parts of her mind, rocketing her from 10 percent to 20 percent to 50 percent and on up. We as a species must have a lot of hidden potential, because in very short order Lucy is able to control the minds of others, manipulate physical objects with her mind, see different frequencies of light and cellular signals, even control time. For lack of a better word, this drug essentially turns her into a god. Naturally, she takes her frustrations out on the drug dealers in a big way. For an action movie, “Lucy” is definitely strange. Besson was probably not expecting the massive success the film has seen, because it is structured like a trippy indie film, complete with random stock footage of nature documentaries and a bizarre interaction with one of the first humanoid creatures, Lucy, from the 3 million-yearold skeleton found in Ethiopia in 1974. But it’s not the strangeness or the prem-

NEW YORK — Marvel Entertainment, which muscled into pop culture with comic books, TV cartoons and movies, is gambling on attracting new fans as it tackles 3-D — but forget the silly glasses. A new live arena show called “Marvel Universe Live!” — a first for the comic franchise — has begun an 85-city tour over the next two years, flooding stages with a dizzying array of actors and upping the technological ante for theatrical events. “We pushed ourselves so much on this project to do things that have never been done before,” said producer Juliette Feld, who is a Feld Entertainment executive vice president. “This show is actually more like an action movie than anything else.” Captain America, Thor, The

Hulk, Black Widow, Wolverine, Nick Fury, Spider-Man, Storm, Green Goblin and Red Skull are among the heroes and villains that constantly battle during the two-hour show. The show leverages many of the elements that Feld Entertainment has pioneered, including its motocross show Nuclear Cowboyz and monster truck spectacular Monster Jam, and even Disney on Ice and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus. There’s projection mapping, LED screens, aerial stunts, massive set pieces that emerge from the ceiling, motorcycle stunts, pyrotechnics, real fire, martial arts, smoke and lasers. “We’re performing movie stunts in a live setting,” said J. Vaught, Feld’s vice president of ice and stage operations and creative development. “It’s not CGI. Gravity’s real. Solid ob-

lean up your mess! It’s something you’ve been told your entire life. Put away your toys. Color inside the lines. Straighten your room. Keep your handwriting neat, make your bed, wipe the countertops, take out the trash. Neatness: maintenance, paycheck-getter, or personality trait? Depends on who you are, mostly. In “The Removers” by Andrew Meredith (c.2014, Scribner, $24, 179 pages), cleaning up was ultimately a method of coping. The body had been there awhile. On his second run for the funeral home, Andrew Meredith was cocky, thinking he’d seen it all … until he went into the dead man’s room. So how did Meredith, a twenty-something college drop-out, ever get to that point? He’d grown up in Philly, in an area just minutes from most of his extended family. His parents were both professionals; he and his sister had childhoods filled with activities, Sundays at Grandma’s, aunts and uncles

and cousins. And then one day, when he was an adolescent, Meredith came home to a house that remained mostly silent for the next decade: his father had had an affair with a college student, which seemed to ruin everything. Still, for the sake of family, Meredith’s parents decided to stay together. In that atmosphere thick with sadness and hostility, Meredith says that his “outsides … become even more frozen than before, and the tiny remnant of who I was before the house went silent … retreated even deeper … .” He floated through Catholic school, flunked out of college, and quickly endured a series of superficial relationships. Finally, “dreadful broke,” depressed, and bored, he asked his father to help him get a job as a remover of dead bodies. Later, while working at a crematorium, Meredith says “you could’ve powered a forklift with the stopped-up rage in me.” He grew even more moSee SEZ, page B-2 C

slow and a little dim. It only stands to reason, then, that he’s a brilliant neuroscientist who knows more about the brain than anyone, other than Lucy. I tried hard, but I never could buy into “Lucy.” The movie moves at a manic pace with bizarre punctuations throughout. The terrible dialogue and odd performances kept pulling me out of the story, and the premise seemed barely considered. “Lucy” reminded me of another Besson property, “The Transporter,” a movie with a potentially good cast that is simply awful in the translation, because the filmmakers gave no thought to the premise other than “a tough guy who can drive fast.” Here the idea is simply “girl gets superpowers.” It turns out we do use a lot more than 10 percent of our brain, but this film doesn’t even require that much. Grade: C“Lucy” is rated R for sexual situations, graphic violence, and language.

ise that kills this film. “Lucy,” like so many of its ilk, is killed by the script, plain and simple. The writing is atrocious. The dialogue is completely leaden, filled with needlessly expository speeches and cheesy lines. At one point Johansson is forced to say, “I feel the wind on my skin. I feel the rotation of the earth. I feel my brain.” Granted, our star had very little to work with, but I should take issue with Johansson’s performance as well. As soon as the drug enters her system, she turns into an automaton, staring blankly, repeating her lines deadpan and showing almost no emotion whatsoever. I’m certain this was a directorial directive, but it makes her seem blank instead of smart, and her performance literally sucked all the energy out of her scenes. Also bad was poor MorChris Jenness is a freelance gan Freeman who, possibly in an attempt to make Lucy look graphic designer, artist and smarter, seemed to be playing movie buff who lives in Nikiski.

n Kenai’s Saturday Market is open every Saturday through Sept. 13. It is held in the grassy area across the parking lot from the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center. The market will include very talented folks selling beautiful Alaskan Arts & Crafts. Fresh vegetables will start showing up about the middle of June.

jects are really solid.” The show, which fills 25 cargo trucks, begins a five-day stand Wednesday at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and then moves to Uniondale, New York; Washington, D.C., Virginia; South Carolina; Alabama; North Carolina; Kentucky; Florida; Tennessee; and Georgia. Next year, it’s due to hit Indiana, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hampshire and New Jersey. In 2016, it’s set to visit Missouri, Oklahoma again, Colorado and Utah. Feld spent two years making the show, twice its typical research and development time. But none of the previous spectaculars had 11 motorcycles, 53 performers, 25 projectors, 10-foot falls, car crashes that end in flames and 37 cameras beaming video content. “We’ve put in probably the largest and most sophisticated

touring video system ever conceived, and then we’ve added a lot of tricks on top of that to really leverage that technology,” said Vaught. One jaw-dropping effect is the use of 3-D projection mapping, also known as video mapping technology, which turns objects into display surfaces for video projection. Video content will also be sent to tiny beacons embedded in performers’ costumes to ensure that special effects like laser blasts stay smooth. “After all, Iron Man does not miss,” explained Vaught. The tech team will beam images across the arena’s back wall — 110 feet across and 36 feet tall — and the floor, which is 70 feet wide by 140 feet long. A gigantic, 26-foot cylinder drops down for more storytelling, including a spiral motorcycle chase between Captain America and Red Skull. The man picked to carry Captain America’s shield is Phil Smage, of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, someone as comfortable on snow as he is in the motorcycle saddle. He grew up an X-Man fan, competed at Winter X Games and was touring with Nuclear Cow-

cebook. Interested vendors can contact Market Manager Dan Funk at 382-0210. n The Soldotna Wednesday Market is open Wednesdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Peninsula Center Mall. n Local farmers markets will have free Chef at the Market cooking demonstrations in July and August funded by the Alaska Division of Agriculture. The full schedule includes: — Central Kenai Peninsula Farmers Market, Saturdays, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Kenai Spur Highway and and East Corral — August 16, Loving Your Kale, and Eating it Too! with Nancy Schrag.

morous, beautiful and horrible, all at the same time. Author Andrew Meredith metes out slices of a slacker life filled with teen angst and simmering anger, in a voice that’s sometimes shocking in its seeming lack of emotion. That’s dark – disturbingly so – but through it, we catch glimpses of a boy growing up, which softens what we’re told. So wrapped up was I in this book at that point that I realized I’d been holding my breath. That’s a sure sign of a good read and a good reason to look for this memoir. For anyone who relishes a shadowy coming-of-age story, “The Removers” is one you won’t be able to remove from your hands.

rose and, though he was curious about former lives of the deceased, bodies melded into one “Mildred,” making his job with the dead into a certain dead-end job. But realizations were dawning slowly: Meredith began to understand that picking a path was okay, and that his was “good and helpful work.” Furthermore, his parents did their best. And, he says, “I start to see the dignity in doing the necessary.” Five minutes after I opened the package containing “The Removers,” I knew I was in trouble. Clear my calendar.

DEAR ABBY: My best friend, “Cecily,” has just come out to me as being a lesbian. We are both 15. I have tried my best to make her feel accepted and comfortable. But whenever she wants something from me and I refuse, Abigail Van Buren she says I’m “treating her badly because she’s gay.” I let it go the first couple of times, but now she does this every time she wants something. When I finally confronted her about it, she went to her mother and said I was bullying her because of her being gay. Her mother yelled at me and told me to “get my act together or get out of her life.” Her mother is like a second mother to me. Other than this, Cecily has been a great friend. This has gotten way out of hand. Abby, I have tried everything. What do I do? — WAY OUT OF HAND IN NEW YORK

DEAR WAY OUT OF HAND: Cecily may react this way because she’s newly out and hypersensitive to being discriminated against for being gay. (For too many gay teens, this is a sad reality.) Consider asking your mother to talk to Cecily’s mother and explain that you’re not homophobic but feel her daughter is being manipulative. If the woman hears it from another adult, she may talk to her daughter about it. However, if that doesn’t work, you may have to decide if it’s worth it to continue the relationship under these circumstances. 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.

A baby born today has a Sun in Leo and a Moon in Aries. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014: This year is the first year of a new 12-year luck cycle. Focus on your goals, and you will be able to manifest them more easily. If you are single and romance and being in a committed relationship are your desires, it is more than likely to happen. There will be many different potential suitors as you zero in on finding Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you demonstrate a newfound closeness and a silliness that remind others of young love. You enjoy the energy that ARIES has, but you won’t want him or her to influence you too frequently. 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 You might notice that others are shielding themselves from you. Some people even might become exhausted after speaking with you! Be your spontaneous self, and reach out to those who enjoy your high-voltage ways. Tonight: You are top dog. Go for what you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Take a deep breath before starting an important conversation. Be careful if it involves someone whom you feel you have to answer to.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHYou’llbemorethanwillingtotry out a new idea or take a vacation to some strange land. You understand the value of offbeat situations opening up your mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You are very sure of a partner, and you feel extremely stable. Your confidence could be a result of your ability to tolerate whatever heads your way.

Solve the softener syndrome Dear Heloise: I saw the article in the San Antonio Express-News about not using fabric softeners when washing bath towels. I have been using fabric softener for some time, and I have noticed the problem and wondered why (Heloise here: Jim is referring to towels not being absorbent when too much liquid softener is used, or when dryer sheets are used every time). Would future washings without the softeners bring back the towels’ original absorbency, or is there a specific step that must be taken to do so? Or is it too late? — Jim S. in Texas It’s not too late, Jim! Just wash the bath towels alone, with nothing else, add 1 cup of ammonia (no detergent) and run through a second rinse cycle. Fabric softener is OK if not overused, especially on towels. — Heloise Take a picture Dear Heloise: I have been lucky enough to receive floral arrangements several times a year from out-of-state relatives. I always take a quick picture and include it in the thank-you note that I write. It lets the sender see how beautiful the flowers are and if it’s what he or she requested. Sometimes I have found that the delivered flowers differed from the actual order. For example: My son, who hates carnations, always asks florists to make sure there are none in the arrangement, but then if he sees them in the picture, he can let them know. — Mary D. in Tennessee

DEAR ABBY: I’m not much of a drinker. I have nothing against drinking or those who do. I just do not like the taste of alcohol. Worse, I have a very low tolerance for it. After only half a glass of wine, I become so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open. It makes me feel physically awful. My husband takes offense to the fact that I don’t want to drink. When we’re out with friends, he’ll have three or four beers and pressure me to the point of embarrassment in front of them until I finally give in and order a glass of wine. Of course, I then spend the rest of the evening feeling terrible. When we get home, he’ll want to be intimate, but I just want to go to sleep, which aggravates him further. I have tried for several years to discuss this with him, but he can’t explain why he does this. What can I do? — JUST WATER, PLEASE DEAR JUST WATER: Your husband is a drinker. He may be self-conscious about the amount he imbibes and feels less so if he has a drinking buddy (that’s you), willing or not. To say the least, his behavior is inconsiderate — and I mean ALL of it. When someone is involved with a problem drinker, and from your description of his behavior your husband is one, the place to start looking for
