In the news Hiker rescued near Skilak Lake

Alaska State Troopers located an out-of-state man who got lost on a hiking trip near Skilak Lake on Sept. 11. Josh Blackmore, 43, of Midland Mich. became separated from his group of four hikers who set out on a multi-day hike, according to a troopers dispatch. A charter plane flew the four hikers into a remote area on the south side of Skilak Lake. Troopers received a report at about 6:50 p.m. from the Rescue Coordination center to locate Blackmore. An Alaska Air Guard helicopter responded to the area and located Blackmore. The four hikers were transported to Central Peninsula Hospital and released without need of medical attention. — Staff report

Jerry Terp, 59, of Kenai, won the Colonist category at this year’s Alaska State Fair’s Great Alaska Beard Contest in Palmer. Terp was severely burned in a house fire in October 2010. Since the fire, his facial hair has now grown back enough to allow him to compete in beard contests again. On Friday the staff and clients at Birchwood Center in Soldotna, where Terp receives assistance, celebrated his blue ribbon win.

The beard is back

Burn victim wins colonist category at state fair beard competition By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Facial hair of different colors and lengths — some real, some store-bought and others homemade — adorned the faces of staff and clients alike Friday afternoon at Birchwood Center in Soldotna. The beard party, complete with live music, pizza and root beer floats, celebrated Jerry Terp’s first place win in the colonist category at this year’s Alaska State Fair Great Alaska Beard Contest in Palmer.

which he said took about seven hours. A couple in a motor home was particularly helpful, Terp said. They took him to the fair, paid his gate fee and gave him an extra $20 for food. “A lot of people don’t do that,” he said, who had brought about $40 with him to get into the fair and buy a meal. Terp’s first beard competition was in 2009 at the State Fair before the fire took his facial hair. The fire put Terp in the burn center at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for See BEARD, page A-10

“I couldn’t believe it,” he said about the event. “I haven’t had nobody do something like this.” The 59 year old’s long, gray beard is the product of four years of dedication following an early morning house fire in October 2010 in which Terp was badly burned losing his hair and beard. Now Terp’s beard is back. While it may not be as long as it was before the fire, it did win him a blue ribbon and a photo opportunity with the cast of the reality TV show “Duck Dynasty.” Terp hitchhiked his way to the fair,

FAIRBANKS — The Yukon River is having strong runs of silver and chum salmon this fall, giving a boost to fishermen after another tepid summer for king salmon. Sonar counts on the Lower Yukon at Pilot Station had tallied 233,000 silver salmon by Sept. 3, far above the historical median of 126,600 by that date. At that pace, more than 245,000 silvers are expected on the Yukon this summer. Jeff Estensen, an area management biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said it should be the strongest run of silvers in at least four years, allowing for commercial and subsistence openings last week on the lower Yukon. Last year, only about 80,000 silvers passed the sonar at Pilot Station. It’s also been a good year for fall chum salmon, with about 800,000 fish tallied, roughly 100,000 more than during a typical even-year run. The midsummer chum run sent 1.9 million more fish down the Yukon. Those solid numbers have helped offset a weak run of king salmon this year, which left the fishery closed to subsistence users. More than 60,000

KETCHIKAN — Ketchikan could see significant economic benefits — both in terms of new jobs and money spent in the community — if either the state or private companies choose the Ketchikan Shipyard for largescale shipbuilding projects, according to a recent report. The report, released by the

Ketchikan Marine Industry Council, states that a $100 million shipbuilding project could mean 190 new jobs — paying $27.4 million in wages — and $12.4 million on additional spending for local goods and services. Chelsea Goucher, executive director of the Greater Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce, said the study was done for a purely hypothetical situation.

“(The study) just really illustrates to the community how valuable the marine industries are,” Goucher said. “That’s a huge amount of money coming into our community and local economy (for a project like that). People are going to spend money here in town, businesses can hire more employees and that would bolster those businesses. “It’s important to look at studies like this and how, holis-

tically, they’re good for everybody,” Goucher added. The council also is willing to conduct economic impact studies on other aspects of the marine industry in and near Ketchikan. “The shipyard is a sponsor and promoter of the council, but it’s one of many,” Goucher said. “We want to make sure (the council) focuses on all aspects of the marine industry, and it

goes well beyond shipbuilding. We would welcome any interest in other studies.” One project that could test the study’s projected benefits could be the construction of two Alaska class ferries for the Alaska Marine Highway System. In December 2012, Gov. Sean Parnell voiced his belief that the two ships could be built for the $120 million that had See SHIPS, page A-10

Denali road crews juggle access with protection By WESTON MORROW Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

FAIRBANKS — The workers on the Denali National Park and Preserve road crews spend their time navigating a narrow path between two imposing bodies. In the most literal sense, the road crew spends every day maintaining the narrow, two-lane road that runs for miles between 6,000-plus foot ridge lines, but in a more figurative sense, the road crews are perpetually toeing the line between resource protection and visitor access. Tasked with the maintenance of a 92-mile road through the heart of the national park, the Denali Park road crew stays busy. Excluding the first few miles, from its start to the Savage River where personal vehicles cannot pass, most of the park road is unpaved. The miles of gravel road require constant work — whether that means laying down calcium chloride to prevent choking clouds of dust, reclaiming the road banks to stop the

road’s gravel edges from inching out into the tundra or grading the slope of the bumpy road to make it passable for the 10,000 buses that will travel its length annually. All of this work falls on the shoulders of the road crew — a couple dozen men and women who spend day after day ensuring the park’s thousands of visitors have a place to go when they arrive. The road crew is split into two groups that occupy and maintain their separate and bordering territories: the western crew, which roves from the park entrance up to Sable Pass at 39 Mile on the park road, and the eastern crew, which picks up where the western crew leaves off at Sable Pass and runs to Kantishna at the terminus of the park road. Since Sable Pass and beyond is typically accessible only by bus, many visitors don’t always make it that far into the park. Everyone who enters the park via the road system must pass through the domain of the western road crew — led by Rick Weibel. Weibel has been maintaining the See ROAD, page A-10

In Vermont, a milestone in green-energy efforts By WILSON RING Associated Press

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Vermont’s largest city has a new success to add to its list of socially conscious achievements: 100 percent of its electricity now comes from renewable sources such as wind, water and biomass. With little fanfare, the Burlington Electric Department crossed the threshold this month with the purchase of the 7.4-megawatt Winooski 1 hydroelectric project on the Winooski River at the city’s edge. When it did, Burlington joined the Washington Electric Co-operative, which has about 11,000 customers across central and northern Vermont,

which reached 100 percent earlier this year. “It shows that we’re able to do it, and we’re able to do it cost effectively in a way that makes Vermonters really positioned well for the future,” said Christopher Recchia, the commissioner of the Vermont Department of Public Service. It’s part of a broader movement that includes a statewide goal of getting 90 percent of Vermont’s energy from renewable resources by 2050, including electricity, heating and transportation. Across the state, Vermonters are urging their electric utilities to provide them with renewable sources of power, and the utilities are listening, Recchia said. It’s also a growing movement across the country, as governments and businesses seek to liberate themselves from using power produced by environmentally harmful fossil fuels. Diane Moss, the founding director of the Southern Cali-

fornia-based Renewables 100 Policy Institute, said that she wasn’t sure if any other communities as large as Burlington — a city of 42,000 — have reached 100 percent, but that many are working on it. “It’s these front-runners that are showing that it’s possible,” Moss said. Nearly 1,000 businesses both large and small and many communities have also committed to 100 percent, she said. Greensburg, Kansas, almost wiped out by a 2007 tornado, rebuilt with energy efficiency in mind. A 12.5-megawatt wind farm went online in 2009, producing electricity in excess of that consumed by the community of 850, said Administrator Ed Truelove. “We’re trying to be as sustainable a community as we can be,” Truelove said. For both Burlington and Washington Electric, reaching 100 percent was the result of a yearslong strategy to wean themselves from traditional

sources of power in favor of renewables. Utility officials in the lakefront city known for its liberal politics and extensive social service network first began discussing becoming 100 percent renewable a decade ago. Four years later they realized it could be done. “The transition in thought from 2004 to 2008 was ‘We want to do this’ to ‘This actually makes economic sense for us to do this,’” said Ken Nolan, the manager of power resources for Burlington Electric. Neither utility claims that each of their customers’ lights comes from renewable sources all the time. When the wind isn’t blowing and the rivers are low, they will buy power from traditional sources that include electricity generated from fossil fuels. When the resources are right, though, they get more than they can use, and the difference is sold to other utilities. Over time, they sell more than they buy.

Kenai Flotilla meeting scheduled

Craft brewers placing greater emphasis on quality By MICHAEL FELBERBAUM AP Business Writer

RICHMOND, Va. — Scoff if you must at mass domestic beers, but lessons learned from the makers of Budweiser and Miller Lite are helping to make sure your craft beer tastes the same from pint to pint. Far from the small and scrappy crew of home brewers that started the movement, craft brewers increasingly are turning to employees of much larger shops like Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors to tap their experience in creating beer with a consistent flavor and quality time after time on a large scale. While it’s hard to say exactly how many people have left the big boys to join the craft beer movement, it is clear breweries seeking to grow are placing a greater value on quality assurance as the industry gains market share. Sales of craft beer rose about 17 percent last year despite a nearly 2 percent drop in overall beer sales, according to the Brewers Association, a trade group for the majority of the nation’s more than 3,000 breweries. Craft beer drinkers have simply come to expect that every time they crack a can or bottle it will taste the same as the last.

If that doesn’t happen, breweries risk losing customers, says Julia Herz, the craft beer program director at the Colorado-based Brewers Association. Less than a year ago, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery in Richmond brought in a veteran from Anheuser-Busch to head its quality assurance program, a move that co-founder Patrick Murtaugh said serves as an “insurance policy” for a craft brewer to make sure things won’t go wrong. And if they do? You’ve got someone with experience from a bigger brewery to know what to do to fix it. “One of the major things that separate home brewers from professional brewers is being able to not only brew a great beer, but the exact same beer over and over again,” Murtaugh said, who added that it’s wrong to think that products such as Bud Light are lousy. “It’s exactly what they intended to brew and to be able to brew it on that scale over and over and over again is an incredible feat.” Take it from Dan Westmoreland, the brewmaster at AnheuserBusch’s Williamsburg, Virginia, brewery. The facility — one of 12 in the U.S. — has about 500

full-time employees and about 150 weekend employees that produce roughly 2.5 billion 12-ounce beers a year. Its production in one week is about the amount being produced by a larger craft brewery in a full year. “When you’re making a beer that’s this light, you’ve got to be on your game because it won’t be consistent very easily,” Westmoreland said. “You can’t hide anything.” Kate Lee, who joined Hardywood after 12 years in various positions across the country with Anheuser-Busch, knows that firsthand. The biggest difference, she said, is the scope and method of making beer. Much of the process at Anheuser-Busch is monitored from a master control room with a bank of computer

screens. At craft breweries, the more hands-on process makes consistency a challenge. During a forum on the subject at a recent Craft Brewers Conference, industry leaders stressed to roughly 9,000 attendees that with so many breweries opening, a lack of consistency may mean a beer drinker won’t try new brands and go only with ones they know and trust, or simply decide it isn’t worth their paycheck. Tim Hawn, brewmaster at Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton, Delaware, agrees. “People will put up with a little bit of variability,” he said. “Obviously folks are willing to pay for the luxury of craft ... and for that luxury they expect to have that same experience every time they enjoy a beer.”

What Others Say

Scotland secession would weaken Britain America is stronger when our allies

are stronger. That, put plainly, is why folks in the United States should care whether Scotland votes to secede from the United Kingdom. A disunited Britain will be a weaker Britain. There’s been lots of talk of late about the economics of the matter. For good reason, too. For one thing, neither Scotland nor England has a real plan about how to go forward if the two lands, linked for more than three centuries, are suddenly severed. The United Kingdom, as measured by nominal gross domestic product, is the world’s sixth-largest economy. To throw that into turmoil will do no one any good. Even some of the questions that have been raised — No one knows what will happen to Scotland’s 143 billion pounds in debt, most of it guaranteed by Britain — have had a destabilizing effect on markets. Additionally, while Scotland has said it will continue to use the British pound, that isn’t a certainty if the union is dissolved in the Sept. 18 vote. There’s also the fact that England has long been our most reliable ally. When push comes to shove, we know that we can count on the Brits, and the Brits know too that they can count on the Yanks. This wouldn’t change if Scotland were to split away from the U.K., but England will obviously be less capable of sailing staunchly beside us when it is struggling to keep its own ship of state afloat. We understand well a people’s shared identity, their desire for self-determination. But it needn’t trump the strength that can come from a genuine union. We’ve got our own version here in these United States. One can be proud of one’s own state — we certainly feel that about Massachusetts — while at the same time believing in, and pledging allegiance to, the whole. We can only hope that the Scots, at the end of the day, find themselves similarly disposed. Imagine a group of Scots assembled around a table. “Here’s to Scotland,” one says, raising a glass. And after murmurs of assent from those around the table, another might call out: “Yes — and to the United Kingdom!”

The halfhearted war

Only President Barack Obama would feel compelled to mention the success of the American auto industry in a speech rallying the nation for a long war of annihilation against a vile terror group. Through the years, even when he’s been his most stalwart-sounding in national-security speeches, you can’t shake the sense that he’d much rather be talking up tax credits for plug-in electric cars, or extolling Obamacare’s mandate for employer coverage of contraception. The last thing he wanted to do, nearly six years into his presidency, is have to give a prime-time address about his new war in Iraq. Yet he did it and sounded credible, indeed forceful and determined. He condemned the viciousness of ISIS. He put himself clearly on record for seeking its destruction. He boasted of his own lethality to our enemies. He extolled American leadership (and talked up the auto companies). The speech had everything a hawk against ISIS would want — except an unmistakable strategy to destroy ISIS. The president compared the Iraq effort to the “counterterrorism” campaigns in Somalia and Yemen, countries where we target individual terrorists from the air and occasionally with special forces amid chaos on the ground. If we want to kill some members of ISIS over a period of years while it remains a threat, this is an entirely appropriate model. The Somalia/Yemen approach is a

way, to borrow the president’s formulation from just a week ago, to manage the ISIS threat rather than to destroy it. ISIS has occupied an enormous amount of territory in Iraq and Syria, includ- Rich Lowry ing major population centers. That is why it declared a caliphate and why it has unprecedented resources. To defeat it, this territory must be taken back, and it is unlikely to happen exclusively from the air -- especially in the cities. It will take ground forces. We hope to work with proxy forces, but they are motley groups that will almost certainly need vetting and advising by special operators working closely with them on the ground. But the president ruled out American ground forces. The cynical interpretation is that he is hoping to do enough against ISIS to satisfy domestic political opinion and keep the terror group at bay until he can hand off an incomplete campaign to his successor, who will be left with the difficult choice of whether to truly defeat ISIS. Certainly, the president gives no sign of having absorbed the full magnitude of his policy failures in Iraq and Syria to this point. Former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen points out that President George W. Bush, in ordering the surge

in Iraq, acknowledged his prior strategy had failed. This established that he had a new understanding of the challenge in the country and underlined his commitment to acting on it. Obama has made no similar acknowledgment, and probably never will. To be sure, we are a long way from January, when the president explained away ISIS’s capture of Fallujah as practically the normal course of things in the Sunni heartland of Iraq. It is good that he says he wants to destroy ISIS, good that he has expressed a willingness to extend the bombing campaign to Syria, good that he helped ease the disastrous Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki from power, and good that he has put together a small coalition of the willing. Perhaps the execution of what he described in his speech will be very robust and he will find a way to get out of his prohibition on boots on the ground, if it becomes obvious that it is an obstacle to success. But he has a history of all but walking away from his military commitments. He ordered the surge in Afghanistan, then did all he could never to speak of it again, and now risks creating a new Iraq there with another complete pullout in a few years. No matter how tough he sounds, his heart is someplace else. Rich Lowry can be reached via email: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com

Letters to the Editor:

Nation Santa Monica evaluating happiness By JOHN ROGERS Associated Press

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — As Eileen Brown and her dog stand on a bluff at Santa Monica’s Palisades Park and survey endless miles of sparkling blue ocean, clear skies and shimmering sandy beaches, she ponders how life could possibly get any better in this corner of paradise. “Really, it seems just about perfect,” the Los Angeles woman concludes. There’s a picturesque pier off in the distance with an oldfashioned merry-go-round that stands nearly side-by-side with the world’s first solar-powered Ferris wheel. The sun is shining brightly, the temperature is a pleasant 79 degrees and a light sea breeze makes everything feel just right. But there’s also loads of traffic and a high cost of living, two things that recently prompted the real estate blog Movoto to rate Santa Monica No. 2 on its Top 10 list of America’s Most Stressed-Out Suburbs. To do something about that, the city of 92,000 applied last year for a Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge grant, proposing that it create a “Wellbeing Project” to determine just how much people in this picture-postcard town really like living here. Santa Monica beat out 300 other U.S. cities in securing $1 million. This week, officials will begin asking residents how involved they are in community activities, if they know who to turn to in times of crisis, if they know their neighbors, how healthy they are, how lonely they might be and how

good an education they believe their kids are receiving. Then they’ll examine what changes are needed to make life better. “It’s really about trying to get a much clearer understanding of who the people of Santa Monica are, what they are doing and what we can do on a local government level to help ensure people are thriving,” said Julie Rusk, assistant director of community and cultural services. Some of the other four cities that won grants are going the more traditional route. Houston, for example, plans on building a better trash-collection system. Rusk says Santa Monica came up with The Wellbeing Project after the launch of its Cradle to Career Initiative in 2011. That effort, to learn how students felt about themselves, began after a tragic period that included a teenager committing suicide by throwing himself off a high-rise hotel. “What we found out was only a third of kindergarteners were really ready socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, for kindergarten,” Rusk said. In a community where more than three quarters of adults have college degrees, that was a stunning discovery. About that same time, the city learned its efforts to promote health and fitness might have gotten out of hand when residents complained that commercial trainers had turned Palisades Park into an open-air gymnasium, making it difficult to do anything else there. After months of debate, the city restricted who could use parks for commercial purposes. And on a recent weekday,

People exercise on the beach Wednesday, in Santa Monica, Calif. Santa Monica won a $1 million civic improvement grant from the Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Mayors Challenge last year. While other cities awarded similar funding are looking into expanding recycling efforts or child-reading projects, Santa Monica is planning a Wellbeing Festival in the fall and a citywide survey asking residents what it can do to make them feel better about themselves.

there wasn’t a weight machine or yoga mat in sight at Palisades Park. Instead, it was filled with people having picnics, jugglers, skateboarders, strollers, dog walkers, musicians and someone operating a bubblemaking machine. If The Wellbeing Project works as they hope, city officials could tweak other public services. Brown, who loads her dog into the car a couple times a month and travels to the park to unwind, couldn’t see too many things to improve. The site of numerous homeless people sprawled out in the shadow of beach-front condominiums did trouble her, however. Brown said she avoids the city’s notoriously traffic-choked freeway by taking surface streets from downtown LA.

The locals cite the traffic jams, the homelessness and the cost of living as problems that make Santa Monica not quite as pleasant as outsiders think. “We’re choking on gridlock from overdevelopment,” says 30-year resident Tricia Crane, who complained of watching the city transform from a quiet beach town of cottage-style homes and modest two-story apartments to one of high-rise condos and apartments with high mortgages and rents. The median price of a home is $992,000. Soon, says street musician Charles Baker Jr., paradise could become the province of just the rich. “The way it’s going, nobody is going to be able to afford to live here anymore,” he said as he sat in the park with his keyboard.

Lawyer: Tests could show dead infants stillborn

K By DAVE COLLINS Associated Press

The lawyer for a Massachusetts woman arrested after the bodies of three infants were found in her home said Sunday that he’s optimistic that forensic testing will show the babies weren’t born alive, and therefore weren’t harmed or killed by his client. Erika Murray, 31, was charged Friday with fetal death concealment and other counts after authorities found the bodies in her squalid, vermin-infested home in Blackstone, a town near the Rhode Island border and about 50 miles southwest of Boston. A medical examiner is determining whether the remains were newborns or fetuses, and how they died. Two weeks ago, state officials took custody of Murray’s four children, ages 6 months to 13 years, after discovering the dirty conditions of the home — which prosecutors and neighbors said included soiled diapers piled up 2 feet high and the remains of several animals. Authorities found the bodies of

the babies last week after getting a search warrant. Murray’s lawyer, Keith Halpern, told The Associated Press that he’s hopeful the tests will show the dead infants were stillborn. He also expects DNA testing to show that Murray and her longtime boyfriend were the parents of the infants. “I ... am eager to see whether the forensic testing confirms that in fact the children that are deceased ... were never born alive,” Halpern said. Halpern told The Boston Globe in an earlier interview that Murray secretly gave birth to her two youngest children because she was scared, after her boyfriend told her he didn’t want any more children after their first two. He told the newspaper Murray tried to conceal from her boyfriend the fact that the two youngest children were hers, and apparently told him she was babysitting them. Halpern told the AP that Murray was fearful during the five pregnancies, including the ones of her two youngest children and the dead infants. He said it’s wasn’t clear to him

how much of the fear was attributable to the mental illness he believes Murray has and how much was due to real-life concerns. “Try to imagine the kind of fear and sort of loss of control over your life that would lead a woman to give birth to a child alone on the floor of her bathroom. That’s was she was going through,” Halpern said, but didn’t elaborate on which child or children he was referring to. “This terror just controlled her. She couldn’t figure out how to get out of the prison she created for herself. “She is clearly mentally ill,” he said, “because the lengths to which she went to try to hide these children ... no one in their right mind would have done this.” Halpern declined to discuss Murray’s relationship with her boyfriend and whether she was scared because she believed he would harm her. He also declined to comment when asked what Murray told him about the three dead babies. The boyfriend hasn’t been charged in connection with the dead infants or the conditions in

the home, where he also lived. The children first came to the attention of police two weeks ago when a 10-year-old boy who lived in the house went to a neighbor and asked, “How do you get a baby to stop crying?” said Tim Connolly, a spokesman for Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. The neighbor went with the boy and found the crying baby covered in feces, but no adults around. Police were called and notified the state Department of Children and Families, which removed the four children — ages 13, 10, 3 and 6 months — from the home. Murray was then charged with two counts of reckless endangerment, and the house was condemned. Based on interviews with the two older children, police got a search warrant and went back to the house. That’s when they found the remains of three babies, one in a closet on Wednesday and two others on Thursday. Community members planned a vigil for Sunday evening to show support for Murray’s children.

Around the Nation Hillary Clinton’s 1st Iowa trip since 2008 setback kicks 2016 run speculation into overdrive INDIANOLA, Iowa — Hillary Rodham Clinton, making her return to Iowa for the first time since the 2008 presidential campaign, implored Democrats on Sunday to choose shared economic opportunity over “the guardians of gridlock” in an high-profile appearance that drove speculation about another White House bid into overdrive. “Hello Iowa. I’m back!” Clinton declared as she took the podium at retiring Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry fundraiser, a fixture on the political calendar in the home of the nation’s first presidential caucus. Clinton joined her husband, former President Bill Clinton, in a tribute to Harkin that brought them before about 10,000 party activists who form the backbone of Iowa’s presidential campaigns every four years. The former New York senator and first lady did not directly address a potential campaign but said she was “thinking about it” and joked that she was “here for the steak.” She later said that “too many people only get excited about presidential campaigns. Look — I get excited about presidential campaigns, too.” But she said the upcoming midterm elections would be pivotal for the state’s voters. “In just 50 days Iowans have a choice to make — a choice and a chance. A choice between the guardians of gridlock and the champions of shared opportunity and shared prosperity,” she said, urging voters to elect leaders who would “carry on Tom Harkin’s legacy of fighting for families.” Following a summertime book tour, Clinton was making her biggest campaign splash in 2014 so far, opening a fall of fundraising and campaigning for Democrats who are trying to maintain a Senate majority during President Barack Obama’s final two years. The event also served as a farewell for Harkin, a liberal stalwart and former presidential candidate who is retiring after four decades in Congress.

Self-injury is one of the most difficult behaviors associated with autism and other developmental or intellectual disabilities, and a private facility outside Boston that takes on some of the hardest-to-treat cases is embroiled in a major debate: Should it use electrical skin shocks to try to keep patients from harming themselves or others? The Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to ban devices used by the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center in Canton, Massachusetts, the only place in the country known to use skin shocks as aversive conditioning for aggressive patients. It’s a rare move by the FDA, following years of complaints from disability rights’ groups and even a U.N. report that the shocks are tantamount to torture. FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg says the shock therapy has raised a lot of questions. — The Associated Press

Diplomatic push grows against Islamic State group By LORI HINNANT Associated Press

PARIS — Newly outraged by the beheading of yet another Western hostage, diplomats from around the world are in Paris pressing for a coherent global strategy to combat extremists from the Islamic State group — minus two of the main players and without any ground troops — in a conflict that threatens to spill beyond the Mideast. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has been pressuring allies ahead of a conference Monday to show a united front, especially from majority-Muslim nations, saying nearly 40 countries agreed to contribute to a worldwide fight to defeat the militants before they gain more territory in Iraq and Syria. The White House said Sunday it would find allies willing

to send combat forces — something the United States has ruled out — but that it was too early to identify them. The U.S. has so far been alone in carrying out airstrikes. Several Arab countries offered to conduct airstrikes against the Islamic State group, according to a State Department official traveling with Kerry who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss diplomat developments during his trip. A second official gave some examples of what the U.S. would consider a military contribution: providing arms, any kind of training activity and airstrikes. Muslim-majority countries are considered vital to any operation, although there have only been vague offers of help previously. Iran was struck off the invitation list, and Western offi-

cials have made clear they consider Syria’s government part of the problem. “Ultimately, this is a fight within Islam, within Sunni Islam,” White House chief of staff Denis McDonough told Fox News on Sunday. “That’s why we know that ultimately to defeat and ultimately destroy ISIL, something that is not only in our interest but in the interest of the countries in the region, they are going to need to take the fight to it,” he said, using one of the acronyms for the group. “We’ll build, we’ll lead, we’ll undergird, and we’ll strengthen that coalition. But ultimately, they’re going to help us beat them on the ground,” McDonough said. But the Paris conference, officially dedicated to peace and stability in Iraq, avoids mention

Sweden shifts to left in parliamentary election By KARL RITTER Associated Press

STOCKHOLM — Sweden’s Social Democrats were poised to return to power after a leftleaning bloc defeated the center-right government in a parliamentary election Sunday that also saw strong gains by an anti-immigration party. With more than 99 percent of districts counted, the Social Democrat-led Red-Green bloc had 43.7 percent of the votes Sunday while the governing coalition got 39.3 percent, official preliminary results showed. The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats party more than doubled its support to 13 percent, leaving it with the balance of power in Parliament. “The Swedish people have made their decision. We didn’t make it all the way,” Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said as he conceded defeat. “Therefore I will submit my and my government’s resignation tomorrow (Monday).” The result marks the end of an eight-year era of tax cuts and pro-market policies under Reinfeldt, who said he would also resign as leader of the conservative party. Many Swedes worried that his tax cuts have undermined the country’s famed welfare system. “There’s something that is falling apart in Sweden,” Social Democrat leader Stefan Lofven told cheering supporters at a rally in Stockholm after most of the votes had been counted. “Tonight Sweden has answered that we need change.” The 57-year-old former union leader is expected to enter into coalition talks with the Social Democrats’ main partner in the Red-Green bloc, the environmentalist Green Party, and potentially also the ex-communist Left Party. But unless he’s able to recruit one of the center-right parties in Reinfeldt’s Alliance, he could face a situation where the Sweden Democrats and the Alliance jointly strike down key proposals. “We are now Sweden’s third biggest party,” Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Akesson told jubilant supporters. The once radical far-right party entered Parliament four years ago with 5.7 percent support. Despite the gains, the Sweden Democrats are

unlikely to attain their main goal of sharply reducing immigration because all the other parties are in favor of a liberal asylum policy. This year, Sweden expects up to 80,000 asylum-seekers from Syria, Eritrea, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries — the highest number since 1992. The rise of the Sweden Democrats has unnerved many Swedes, who regard the party as racist despite its efforts to soften its rhetoric under Akesson. Smaller, more extreme groups are also trying to advance their positions in Sweden, including a neo-Nazi group that police said entered a handful of polling stations in Stockholm on Sunday, allegedly intimidating voters by filming them, shouting slogans and spreading confetti with political messages. The group confirmed on its website that its activists had entered polling stations after burning ballots and an Israeli flag at a rally in downtown Stockholm. A small feminist party that an exit poll suggested could enter Parliament failed to reach the 4 percent threshold, finishing with 3.1 percent, the official results showed. Reinfeldt, who took office in 2006, is the longest-serving conservative prime minister in Swedish history. His center-right Alliance has cut income and corporate taxes, abolished a tax on wealth and trimmed welfare benefits. It has also eased labor laws and privatized state-owned companies, including the maker of Absolut vodka. Meanwhile, the gap between rich and poor has grown faster in Sweden than in most developed countries, though it remains among the world’s most egalitarian, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. “I hope that there will be a change,” said Jonathan Andersson, a 25-year-old chef in Stockholm who blamed the government for his problems finding a “proper” job. “They changed the employment law and now I just get temporary work.” Martin Holmen, a volunteer campaign worker for Reinfeldt’s Moderate Party, said many voters didn’t give the government enough credit for making Sweden’s economy one of the strongest in Europe.

of Syria, the power base of the militant organization gaining territory in both countries by the week. And the U.S. opposed France’s attempt to invite Iran, which shares a 1,400-kilometer (870-mile) border with Iraq. The gathering itself will be brief, a matter of a few hours between its start and a planned joint statement. In an exclusive interview on Sunday with The Associated Press in Paris, Iraq’s President Fouad Massoum — a Kurd, whose role in the government is largely ceremonial — expressed regret that Iran was not attending the conference. Massoum noted “sensitivities between some countries and Iran.” He also seemed not to welcome the possible participation Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia in air strikes in Iraqi territory. “It is not necessary that they participate in air strikes; what is important is that they participate in the decisions of this conference,” he said, underscoring Baghdad’s closeness to Iran and how tensions among the regional powers could complicate the process of forming a Sunni alliance. Speaking in his first interview since becoming Iraqi prime minister, Haider al-Abadi told state-run al-Iraqiyya in comments aired Sunday that he had given approvals to France to use Iraqi airspace and said all such authorizations would have to come from Baghdad. The killing of David Haines, a British aid worker held hostage by the militants, added urgency to the calls for a coherent strategy against the brutal and well-organized group, which is a magnet for Muslim extremists from all over the world and rakes in more than $3 million a day from oil smuggling, human trafficking, theft and extortion, according to U.S. intelligence

officials and private experts. British Prime Minister David Cameron said his country would continue offering logistical help to U.S. forces and that counterterrorism efforts will increase, describing the Islamic State group as a “massive” security threat that cannot be ignored. “They are not Muslims, they are monsters,” Cameron said. Haines was the third Westerner to be killed by the extremists, after two American journalists. British officials also released the name of a second U.K. hostage being held by the group and threatened with death, identifying him as Alan Henning. Following successes in Syria, fighters with the Islamic State group — among them many Iraqis — took on the Iraqi military in Sunni-majority Anbar province, capitalizing on longstanding grievances against the Shiite-led government in Baghdad. When the militants arrived in Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, the U.S.-trained military crumbled almost instantly. Commanders disappeared. Pleas for more ammunition went unanswered. Troops ran from post to post, only to find them already taken by gunmen. In some cases, they stripped off their uniforms. The militants seized tanks, missile launchers and ammunition that allowed their lightning advance across northern Iraq. The CIA estimates the Sunni militant group has access to between 20,000 and 31,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria. A senior Iraqi intelligence official told The Associated Press that more than 27,600 Islamic State fighters are believed to be operating in Iraq alone, including about 2,600 foreigners. He spoke anonymously as he is not entitled to brief the media. McDonough said Iraq’s newly inclusive Iraqi government allowed the U.S. and other countries to step up their role.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he was preparing to contribute up to 10 military aircraft and 600 personnel to be deployed to the United Arab Emirates. A statement from his office said special operations personnel who could assist Iraq’s security forces were being prepared also, but combat troops were not being deployed. Australia was not on the list of countries attending the Paris conference released Sunday by the French presidency. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier called Sunday for “internationally agreed action to effectively stop the flow of fighters and money.” Germany on Friday banned all activity on behalf of the Islamic State group, including the distribution of propaganda and the display of its symbols, and is supplying Kurdish forces fighting the extremists in Iraq with assault rifles, anti-tank weapons and armored vehicles. But Germany has ruled out airstrikes and ground troops. French President Francois Hollande and his Iraqi counterpart will co-chair the conference of 26 countries, plus the European Union, United Nations, and the Arab League. Hollande said the goals are to provide political support to the Iraqi government, coordinate humanitarian aid, and fight the Islamic State militants. The conference agenda deliberately focused on Iraq for fear that discussions on Syria could distract from efforts to build a coalition. France had initially wanted to invite Iran, but U.S. and Saudi officials objected. “Political feuds and differences between Iran from one side and the West and Saudi Arabia should be set aside,” said Hadi Jalo, a Baghdad-based political analyst. “Iran should be invited because whether we like or not, Iran is a key player in the region.”

Griffin was carted to the locker room with his leg in a splint and could be out for two months. He will undergo Xrays to determine if the ankle is broken. Cousins subbed for Griffin and completed his first 12 passes.

Bills 29, Dolphins 10 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — C.J. Spiller scored on a 102-yard kickoff return, and rookie receiver Sammy Watkins had a 12-yard touchdown catch.

Patriots 30, Vikings 7 MINNEAPOLIS — Tom Brady and the Patriots took advantage of Adrian Peterson’s absence and Matt Cassel’s four interceptions. Chandler Jones returned a field goal he blocked for a touchdown right before halftime. Brady went 15 for 22 for 149 yards, one touchdown and no turnovers, and Cassel’s first start against his close friend and former mentor was a dud. Devin McCourty, Darrelle Revis, Logan Ryan and Dominique Easley all picked him off, setting up 17 points for the Patriots, prompting “Teddy! Teddy! Teddy!” chants from the crowd for the rookie Bridgewater.

SAN DIEGO — Antonio Gates had three touchdown catches and the Chargers controlled the tempo to keep Seattle’s offense off the field.

Brian Hoyer drove the Browns 85 yards in 14 plays in the final 2:46 to set up Cundiff’s winner. Hoyer completed several big passes, none more crucial than his 28-yarder to Andrew Hawkins with 13 seconds to go.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — DeMarco Murray ran for 167 yards and a touchdown and Dan Bailey kicked four field goals. The loss spoiled Tennessee first-year coach Ken Whisenhunt’s home debut. Dallas (1-1) scored the first 16 points of the game in the first half. Even the beleaguered Dallas defense got into the act, coming up with two sacks and two interceptions.

Texans 30, Raiders 14 OAKLAND, Calif. — J.J. Watt caught a 1-yard touchdown pass, Arian Foster ran for 138 yards and a score and the Texans won their second straight game. Instead of controlling the game from his usual defensive end position, Watt made his biggest impact on the opening drive when he lined up as a tight end. He caught a pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to get Houston (2-0) started.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers threw for three touchdowns, Jordy Nelson had a career-high 209 yards receiving and the Packers rallied from an 18-point deficit.

Keselowski wins with bold pass JOLIET, Ill. — Brad Keselowski saw one shot in front of him to steal the win in the opening race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He had twice picked his way through the field Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway, and found himself watching a spirited, sideby-side battle for the lead between Kevin Harvick and rookie Kyle Larson. As everyone else held their breath watching the Harvick and Larson duel, Keselowski saw his opening and pounced. He used a daring three-wide drive through the middle to grab the lead for good. “I just saw a hole and I went for it,” he said. “I didn’t know if my car would stick or not, but I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t try it.” The win in the first race of the 10-race Chase automatically advances Keselowski, the top seed in the 16-driver field, into the second round. NASCAR this year has debuted an elimination format and four drivers will be knocked out after every third race. As Team Penske celebrated in Victory Lane, Keselowski moved his name on a bracket-type Chase grid into the next round. “I guess you couldn’t ask for a better way to start the Chase,” he said. “Today was about as much of a statement as you can make.”

Team USA captures World Cup MADRID — Kyrie Irving made all six 3-pointers and scored 26 points, and the U.S. repeated as world champion for the first time by crushing Serbia 129-92 on Sunday in the Basketball World Cup. James Harden added 23 for the Americans, who made 11 of 16 3-pointers in a sensational-shooting first half, adding one final romp to a tournament full of them. This depleted team that was supposedly weak enough to lose was too good to be touched. The Americans were supposed to have All-Star forwards Kevin Durant, Kevin Love and Blake Griffin, who all informed USA Basketball not long before the tournament that they would be unavailable. But Irving — the tournament MVP — and Harden stuck around, and despite sending the youngest U.S. team since NBA players debuted in 1992, the Americans remained as dominant as ever. They have won 63 straight games — 45 in official FIBA events and 18 in exhibition play — and are automatically qualified for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. — Staff and wire reports

Horschel takes FedEx Cup playoffs ATLANTA (AP) — Just three weeks ago, Billy Horschel had every reason to start looking ahead to next season. He had missed the cut in the first FedEx Cup playoff event to fall to No. 82 in the standings. He only had two top 10s all year, scant evidence that he was on the verge of something special. He was weeks away

from becoming a father. What followed was the best golf of his life, and a payoff that was more than he could grasp. “I’m not sure life can be better than this,” Horschel said. Horschel capped off his improbable playoff run Sunday at East Lake by pulling away from Rory McIlroy early and holding off Jim Furyk late. He

posted his 12th straight round in the 60s — a 2-under 68 — to win the Tour Championship by three shots and claim the FedEx Cup and its $10 million bonus. That’s what these FedEx Cup playoffs are all about — who can get the hot hand over the last four tournaments. Horschel took that to a level only Tiger Woods can appreci-

ate. No one had ever won the FedEx Cup starting the playoffs lower than No. 19. Horschel started at No. 69. But he was the runner-up in Boston, a winner in Denver and he cashed in big in Atlanta. Those three weeks of prize money and the FedEx Cup bonus were worth nearly $13.5 million.

He still feels the affects the fire had on his body; Terp has trouble walking and has to wear gloves to protect his hands on sunny days. While Terp had gotten himself and his longtime girlfriend out of the house safely during the October 2010 fire, he went back into the house to try to call 911. The phone didn’t work so he woke up his neighbors and used their phone to make the call. Terp was trying to move the vehicles in the driveway to make room for the fire department when responders arrived. The crews took him out of the truck he was in, carried him to

He started with the park’s eastern road crew as a seasonal rock crusher operator in the 1980s and after a minor excursion or two away from the park, his career has largely paralleled the unique highway. He plans to retire this fall. When the inevitable cessation of summer forces the closure of the park road and the animal residents cease their winter preparation, Weibel, too, will take his leave of work. For the remainder of the season, however, he and his crew will work nonstop to finish the pile of work that must get done before winter.

While in Seattle, Terp said he found out his partner was leaving him. He said she took out a restraining order against him to keep him off the property and to keep him from collecting his things. “I went from something to nothing,” he said. For two years Terp said he was homeless. Birchwood Center, where Peninsula Community Health Services of Alaska offers adult services, and Alaska Housing Finance Corporation helped him with housing in Kenai. “It’s no fun here on the street in winter time,” Terp said.

Even four years later, Terp wakes up in the middle of the night and sees the wall on fire, he said. Terp currently holds a presidential position among his peers at Birchwood where his gets to act as a sort of spokesperson listening to the group and suggesting events to the staff. He said taking on that leadership role at Birchwood has helped him in beard competitions to be less nervous. Earlier this year he competed in the Mr. Fur Face Contest at the Miners and

Trappers Charity Ball during Fur Rendezvous in Anchorage. While Terp didn’t place in last year’s Mr. Fur Face, Terp plans to make an appearance at the 2015 Mr. Fur Face Contest and hopes that another year of facial hair growth will put him on the podium. “A lot of competitors go to beauty parlors,” said Terp, who just trims and combs his beard. “I’m just natural.”

Weibel’s road crew struggles to keep the park road functional, often without much outside recognition. Some of the attention that does make its way to the road crew, though, doesn’t come in the form of thanks, as some detractors have pointed to the park road’s very existence as a destructive property. “There’s a school of thought that says this road shouldn’t even be here,” he said. “Parks have two mandates, to protect the resources and to provide for the enjoyment of the public. ... I guess it basically boils down to an individual opinion.” In Weibel’s description, that balance is more like a pendulum that swings slowly back and forth between increased resource management or expanded public access. The motion of that pendulum depends on numerous factors, from the

attitude of the park superintendent to changes in federal regulation. “There’s a tension between resource group and maintenance. I think it’s always going to be there,” Weibel said. “There’s a dynamic tension that ultimately management has to decide what’s really in the best interest of the park and in the best interest of the public.” Weibel said it’s possible the road crews are sometimes painted as villains or antagonists of wilderness preservation, but one thing he said many people fail to recognize is that he and his team are there for the same reason as the park rangers and scientists and visitors. “One thing that sometimes strikes us as maintenance people is that the resource people think they care about the park

more than we, and that’s not really the case,” he said. “Everybody here is trying to do their part to either protect the resource or provide for the public or somewhere in between.” The road crew, in Weibel’s view, is not some destructive force sent to defile a 92-mile stretch of pristine wilderness but rather a valuable agency tasked with providing a connection between that wilderness and the generations of people for whom it has been preserved. “Do you want to make this a place where people come and have an enjoyable experience, or do you want to make this a place that’s a glass jar that no one steps into?” he said. For Weibel and his road crew, the goal is to allow visitors the chance, however limited, to glance into that glass jar.

company is coming up with final numbers for the project and has been working with the state to develop a final cost estimate. However, he added, the potential project has not yet been finalized and the ferries may not be built in Ketchikan. The shipyard could also be used to help replace ships in the Alaska fishing fleet, Ward said.

The fleet needs to replace 2,829 ships — out of the current 4,171 vessels— and the estimated cost could be close to $15 billion, according to information Ward provided. If a large shipbuilding project does take place at the Ketchikan Shipyard, it would add to the growth the facility has experienced recently.

Employment at the shipyard increased by 100 — 60 to 160 — from 2003 to 2013, with the average annual salary being $62,000 in 2013. The shipyard also paid more than $120 million — including wages, charitable donations, taxes, goods and services — over the same time period, according to the study.

tion for just the second time in five years, but Alaska fisheries on the Yukon were halted to achieve it. Estensen said other salmon species may help ease those closures. “Especially with the (short-

age of) kings, we’ve been fortunate to have good runs of chums to give those subsistence users something,” Estensen said. The fall chum run is healthy enough that there shouldn’t be a problem meeting treaty obligations on that species. A range of 72,000 to 104,000 fall chums need to make it to the border, along with a percentage of fish caught in U.S. waters. Estensen said he doesn’t anticipate a problem reaching those targets.

Alaska News Police: 6 hurt in shooting outside Anchorage bar ANCHORAGE — Police say six people were injured, one critically, in a shooting outside a bar in Alaska, and the suspects remain at large. A group of family members and friends was outside the Kodiak Bar and Grill in Anchorage at 4:25 a.m. Sunday when one of the family members and the suspects began arguing. Moments later shots were fired. Of the six shot, police said only 20-year-old Jonah Silva suffered a life-threatening wound, a gunshot to his abdomen. The suspects were described as two men in their mid-20s. Detectives spent the morning interviewing victims and witnesses. Police asked anyone with information about the identity of the suspects to call the department. A reward of up to $1,000 was being offered. The other victims were identified as: Randi Popoalii, 33, shot in her foot; Willie Popoalli, 34, shot in his back; Dorothy Tialino, 20, shot in her shoulder; Tasi Silva, 21, shot in his waist and knee; and Derrick Parson, 21, shot in his forearm.

3 rescued after plane goes down JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON — The Alaska Air National Guard says it rescued three people after a small plane went down near Beluga Mountain, northwest of Anchorage. The plane’s emergency locator beacon sent a signal to the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday. The Air National Guard’s rescue helicopter headed for the coordinates transmitted from the beacon and found the plane 1.2 miles away. The three people who had been onboard were taken to Providence Medical Center in Anchorage. They were released shortly after 5 p.m. in good condition with no reported injuries. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the plane to go down or whether it sustained damage. — The Associated Press

Soldotna Prep students listen to their guide as they tour the Career and Technical Education Center on Kenai Peninsula College’s Kenai River Campus on Sept. 9. The freshmen visited KPC to kick off the Career Pathways Program for the year.

Planning for the future Soldotna Prep students visit Kenai Peninsula College By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

A quick field trip to the nearby college for Soldotna Prep students proved to be an eye-opening experience for some ninth graders. Monday and Tuesday last week students toured Kenai Peninsula College’s Kenai River Campus to kick off the Career Pathways Program for the school year. Karen Ruebsamen, Soldotna Prep guidance counselor, previously went on a tour with other counselors in the district. She thought it would be beneficial to take the students on the tour as well not only to show them the campus, but also to get them thinking about post high school graduation plans. While students might not get the whole potential of what KPC can offer based on the tour, Ruebsamen said they will at least get a taste of what’s available.

“I mean it’s just a gem here on the peninsula, and we want to expose the kids here to what is available in their futures,” she said. With the JumpsStart program, which allows high school students to take courses at KPC, now open to juniors, within two years Soldotna Prep students could be frequenting the campus. It’s also part of the transition process from middle school to high school, Ruebsamen said. “These kids are secondary, their next four years planning is going on, and we see that to be important and we sort of just want to help with the transition into ninth grade with this,” Ruebsamen said. Throughout the year, Soldotna Prep students will be learning about career exploration through career pathways curriculum, which works with one of the school’s objectives, she said. “It ties right into our school goal of a

four-year plan (for students) and looking at what they want to do after high school,” she said. … “It’s seeing that relevancy between the courses that are available (at KPC) to take and what fits in your four year plan … and your future after that.” KPC staff guided students through the campus showing off the Career and Technical Education Center with the process simulator and instrumental lab as well as the main academic collection of buildings. Megan Fenton said she is “artsy” so the opportunities offered in the CTEC building didn’t appeal to her, but the overall tour was interesting. “It’s given me a lot more options to chose from that I didn’t know were there,” she said. Fenton said she thinks it’s a good idea for students to start thinking about the future and their career goals as freshmen. She looks to her successful family memSee TOUR, page B-2

App helps track university’s plant life LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — A University of Louisiana-Lafayette professor has developed an app that helps people identify the diverse plant life as they walk through the campus. The Advocate reported Arborgraphia is the brainchild of Douglas Williams, a professor of instructional technology and director of the University’s Center for Innovative Learning and Assessment Technologies. “There is such a great treasure with the trees around the university,” Williams said. “And since I’m in education, I began thinking, What could we provide in regard to technology that could help people learn about the trees on campus?”

The smartphone app offers an interactive map that allows users to identify trees and study the science and history of each plant, such as how a particular group of people, like early Cajuns settling in the area, might have used the leaves or the bark of the tree. The app also provides specifics, like the plant’s scientific name, special name and leaf type. “There are several ways you can interact with the content,” he said. “There is general information about the trees, hand-drawn illustrations and, if we have it, pictures, as well. It’s a useful way to learn, in detail, about what grows on our campus.” Most of the data collected

came from the university’s Community Design Workshop, a senior-level studio for architectural students that focuses on urban planning. It took Williams almost three years to combine his childhood admiration for nature and his experience in education to produce the app. He recruited Tiffany Gilbert, a sophomore informatics major, to gather GPS data for the 260 trees representing 33 species. “The app showcases some of the most beautiful trees we have on campus,” she said. The area the app uses is bordered by Johnston Street, East University Avenue, Hebrard Boulevard and East St. Mary

Boulevard. She said the app is a great record of the diverse plant life on campus, one that will grow as the app expands the area it covers. Senior visual arts major Brittny Giroir provided the handdrawn and painted images, which are meant to resemble an explorer’s notebook, Williams said. Giroir said the illustrations give a more appealing and stimulating look than other apps that traditionally use computer-generated images. Williams said another app associated with Arborgraphia is in the design stage for young children and could be ready by spring 2015.

New art show opening at Kenai River Campus Local photographer Joe Kashi is the next featured artist in the G.L. Freeburg Gallery located in the Brockel Building at the Kenai River Campus. Kashi’s show, Fleeting Images, opens on Sept. 16 and runs through Oct. 10. The gallery is open from 8:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. on Fridays. The thought-provoking exhibition centers around images Kashi captured during a spring 2013 trip to Dachau concentration camp in Germany. On April 29, 1945, Dachau was liberated by the United States 7th Army Infantry Unit. At the time of liberation, there were approximately 27,400 prisoners who remained alive in the main camp. In total, over 188,000 prisoners had passed through Dachau and its sub-camps. It has been estimated that nearly 50,000 of those prisoners met their death in Dachau. Kashi was accompanied on the journey by Fred Kehl, a fellow longtime Soldotna Rotarian member. Kehl had a special connection to the notorious camp. “He is now in his late 80’s. Fred was one of the U.S. soldiers who liberated Dachau and he will be present at the show’s opening reception to talk a bit about it and receive a replica brass and walnut copy of the plaque that now hangs at the main gate of Dachau,” said Kashi. Kashi’s images of the Dachau concentration camp sequence is printed on a sinC

K enai P eninsula C ollege A round C ampus gle sheet of photo canvas, 12 feet long and two feet wide, stretched and framed. “After the show comes down in October, the big Dachau sequence and the large image featured on the exhibit’s promotional poster, will be going to the Jewish Museum in Anchorage,” said Kashi. There will be an artist reception for the exhibit held from 4:30-6 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 25 at the Freeburg Gallery.

KPC seeing shifting demographics Currently 48 percent of KPC’s student population is under the age of 25; that equates to 1,378 students. In 1997, the college counted 415 students in this age group. Students in the age range 17-24 represent what is typically referred to as traditional age college students. The median age of a KPC student now stands at 25 years old. Early in the 2000’s the median age was in the mid-thirties. With increased outreach to Peninsula high school students, a strong JumpStart program supported by the Kenai Peninsula M

Borough that offers discounted tuition and dual-credit courses along with the availability of student housing at the Kenai River Campus, it is anticipated that more traditional age students will choose Kenai Peninsula College for their first college experience.

KRC facilities improvement projects ongoing For almost ten years, there have been construction or modifications underway somewhere in the KPC system. The latest renovations are happening at the Kenai River Campus with several tandem projects that will result in the continued renewal of the campus. Projects underway or recently completed include lighting upgrades to more energy efficient LED fixtures in exterior locations, roof replacement on the Goodrich Building, remodel of the upstairs Ward Building to accommodate almost all faculty members in one location (a back-fill project from space freed up by the establishment of KRC’s new Career and Technical Education Center). The KRC library now has an upgraded circulation desk and newly configured office spaces for the staff. Other projects are in various stages of planning with many additional improvements and efficiencies that will continue to enhance the campus.

B-6 Peninsula Clarion, Monday, September 15, 2014

Readers take Abby to task for answer to obese woman If anyone was hurt by my reply, I sincerely apologize, because my remarks were not meant to be rude or disrespectful. When I called the young woman after that column ran to apologize if I had hurt her feelings and read her my response to her letter, she told me she was not offended. When I answer questions, it is my responsibility Abigail Van Buren to be honest and direct. As anyone who has read my column knows, I am not always politically correct. When I saw her statement that she was 60 to 70 pounds overweight — which is obese — and “comfortable in her own skin,” my reaction was alarm. If she doesn’t become proactive NOW, by the time she’s 35 she could be far heavier. Everyone knows the many health complications associated with obesity, so I won’t list them. And while not everyone develops complications, in general, the greater a person’s weight, the greater the LIKELIHOOD of developing them. While los-

ing weight may be challenging, as I know from personal experience, it’s important to make beneficial lifestyle changes to promote healthy weight, just as it is important to have healthy self-esteem. That young woman needs to have a frank talk with her doctor about what’s causing her to be so heavy. I told her that when I talked to her. I also suggested it might be helpful to consult a nutritionist. As to my comment about her mother, I strongly suspect what I said is true, and I’ll stand by it until I hear from the woman telling me different. 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. Abby shares more than 100 of her favorite recipes in two booklets: “Abby’s Favorite Recipes” and “More Favorite Recipes by Dear Abby.” Send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.)

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Gemini. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 15, 2014: This year you often send out mixed messages. Be aware of this tendency, as it could make others crazy. Listen carefully if someone gives you feedback. You are likely to do a lot personal work on yourself and move quickly through any issues you encounter. You also will want to examine your life and try to tweak whatever is not working. If you are single, get to know someone very well before making any commitments. You will have a tendency to attract people who are emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, your relationship benefits from weekend dates and vacations away. Being alone together strengthens your bond. GEMINI can irritate you, but he or she has great ideas. 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) HHHHYou’ll speak your mind as you typically do, yet your tone could motivate others to take action. Make sure your information is correct. You might want to move in a new direction because of a partner. Deal with this person directly. Tonight: Don’t hold back. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Be aware of what is going on within you. You will gain a new perspective if you slow down. Follow your instincts. New information comes forward that could cause you to reorganize your plans. Relax and get past the immediate issue. Tonight: Keep stress levels low.

Rubes

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHHYou’llflourishdespitesomeone else’s attempt to put you down. You understand the relevance of this behavior and how to bypass it. You could be challenged by a friend who acts in a most unexpected way. Tonight: Do what would make you most happy. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Take your time in how you deal with someone and the choices you make. You will need to take your time and look within yourself in order to find the right answer. Don’t allow someone’s attitude to distract you. Decide if taking action is necessary. Tonight: Keep an easy pace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ll be able to visualize a good idea and then make it a reality. One person inevitably will give you flak, but the majority of people will support you. News from a distance could surprise you. Resist a tendency to be fussy. Tonight: Let it all hang out, even if it is Monday! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You’ll have a tendency to feel overconfident — until you have a discussion with someone you look up to. Use this conversation to clarify your views and understand others. Defer to someone who might be more creative and diplomatic. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Use your ability to stay above the fray. Take a complete overview of an event that might have caused a difficult situation. This perspective will be needed when dealing with a key person in your life. You could be taken aback by a loved one. Tonight: Opt to make a change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to listen to news with a bit of cynicism. Just because someone says a situation is a certain way does not mean it is; that person’s perception simply defines the matter in that way. Decide to gain your own perspective. Tonight: Togetherness works. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHYou might want to ease some of today’s tension. Detach from an immediate situation, rather than add to your stress level. Sometimes you need to back off and give a situation or others a break. Tonight: Share with a dear friend or loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Keep an even pace, and attempt to see how you can delegate certain tasks, or find a shortcut. Use your leadership skills and efficiency to head down a new path — not only for you, but for others as well. Listen to news more openly than you have in the past. Tonight: Happy at home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHHYour playfulness might not work with friend who has a solemn attitude. Be smart, and try to avoid this situation. If possible, take off in the evening and do something just for you. Allow greater giveand-take with a child or new friend. Tonight: Let loose! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Relate to others directly, and avoid getting involved in any gossip. Your personal touch will make all the difference in your dealings. A family member might want your attention. Recognize that you need to focus on your priorities. Tonight: Enjoy being home.

Hotels need to see the light Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about lighting in hotel bathrooms: “I travel frequently and find that most hotels have terrible lighting over the bathroom sinks. It makes it very difficult to apply makeup. How much could it cost to install a makeup mirror with some magnification? It certainly would be helpful.” — Ellen H. in Florida Have you been my shadow, in an almost dark hotel/motel bathroom? I don’t know what they were thinking ... oh, they weren’t! I defy a man to try to shave, pluck a few eyebrow hairs or floss in that dark space. I’ve complained about this for years. I used to have to sit on the sink (yes, readers, many women do this) until my dear husband pointed out that I should check how well the counter is secured! Luckily, I never had an accident. But now I take my makeup and mirror to the window! — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Other uses for plastic applesauce cups: * Hold individual gelatin servings. * Start seedlings. * Hold buttons and thumbtacks. * Scoop birdseed. * Hold baking soda for brushing teeth. — Heloise Crayon removal Dear Heloise: My 3-year-old daughter decided to draw on a painted wall. Can you help me get the crayon off the wall? — Lucy in Texas Don’t worry! I can help. Here are some hints to use: First, get a brown paper grocery bag and your iron. Set the iron on LOW, hold the paper bag over the marks and carefully press until the wax comes up. Another hint? Use a lightly damp sponge and baking soda. GENTLY scrub the marks until they are gone. Baking soda to the rescue again! — Heloise

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once.

DEAR ABBY: Your response to “Offended Daughter” (Aug. 10), whose mother didn’t like her lounging in a bikini top at her house because of her weight, was inconsiderate, irresponsible and, frankly, offensive. You started off well, advising her to consider her mother’s preference because it’s her house, but your second paragraph took a wrong turn. You used your column to imply she should not feel comfortable in her own skin. You assumed her doctor thinks she’s unhealthy, knowing nothing about her other than the fact she’s 60 to 70 pounds more than “average.” You assumed she was “complacent” and her weight is a problem, even though you do not have access to her medical history and are not a physician. That response serves no purpose other than to fatshame “Offended Daughter.” Even if she is unhealthy, if she weighed two or three times what she does now, even if she lies around all day in that bikini eating potato chips and ice cream sundaes, she still deserves respect as a human being. She deserves advice without judgment. — LINDA IN COLUMBUS, OHIO DEAR LINDA: Thousands of readers in newspapers and online wrote to tell me how angry they were about my response to that letter, accusing me of “fat-shaming.”
