In the news Port of Anchorage shifts focus

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Port of Anchorage is turning its focus from expansion to modernization and efforts to improve existing infrastructure. Lower sections of the hollow steel posts beneath the wharf are covered in corrosion caused by bacteria, silt and salty water. Steel sleeves used to cover cracks and holes have begun corroding as well. Port Engineer Todd Cowles called this a temporary fix. “You can spend 15 years fixing 100 piles a year only to have the ones you started with starting to fail. These are not 75-year solutions. These are 10- to 15-year solutions,” he said. So the municipality of Anchorage and the engineering company CH2M Hill are designing possible long-term solutions, with the basic idea to use steel piles filled with reinforced concrete. If the steel corrodes in 20 years, the concrete remains. Port managers also want to replace aging equipment and make the port better able to withstand earthquakes. And they want to redo two older terminals. They do not plan to add new berths. The project is a shift from the failed expansion that began in 2006 and resulted in more than $300 million in costs, unused materials and lawsuits. Each year, 4 million tons of goods pass through the port, a major gateway to Alaska, along with much of the cement and jet fuel used in the state.

How about them apples? Nikiski orchard hosts rare taste testing, feeds largest group yet By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Beside the high tunnels’ at O’Brien Garden and Trees, a line of locals wound around the corner of the southern-most structure, patiently waiting to purchase some of the orchard’s local produce. Fresh onions, and jars of strawberryrhubarb jam and pickled garlic lined two tables. However, of 150 people that showed up Sunday afternoon, most came for the apples. One-by-one they carefully blind taste tested and rated 15 apples at a booth set up against the orchard’s gate for the first apple tasting the O’Briens have hosted

in several years. Once finished assessors were allowed to ask for the names of their favorite apples to purchase, orchard manager Michelle LaVigueur said. The table held two pie apples, which are tart, and 13 dessert apples, which are on the sweet side, she said. The apples were unlabeled so that people would not have a biased perspective since two of the flavors, Ambrosia and Gravenstine, were varieties that could be store bought. But, all of were grown in her father, Mike O’Brien’s, two 24-by-48 foot high tunnels in Nikiski. “Many people have different palates,” LaViguer said. “I prefer a sweet-

tarter apples. There were two in particular people asked about during the tasting, but going through score cards those two weren’t the highest ones.” LaVigueur said Sunday saw the largest group that has ever attended an apple tasting. Families and groups of friends came in droves through out the two-hour event to examine Mike O’Briens high tunnel operation, sample b u c k e t , loaded with gleaming local produce and self-pick gooseberries and black currents meticulously sown black currants and a shallow, blue bowl holding two strawberries. into rows through out the property. “We probably don’t need to weigh Standing in front of orchard, employee Katrina Nelson and local this one,” Pam Crawford said laughing.

Assembly members address dollars and sense of ballot props By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Local elected officials offered clarity on some of the community questions on ballot propositions Tuesday at the Kenai and Soldotna Chamber’s joint luncheon. Kenai Peninsula Borough assembly member Brent Johnson, who introduced a resolution to pose an advisory vote about animal control to non-city residents, spoke about Proposition A. Assembly member Bill Smith addressed Proposition B, which asks for an advisory vote on whether the borough should hold elections by mail. The process when an animal abuse or neglect complaint is made will remain the same with citizens calling the Alaska State Troopers. But, Johnson said, the troopers have a “gap” right now because the agency doesn’t have a mechanism for caring for rescued animals. If the assembly implements animal control powers, the troopers would then contact the organization the borough has contracted with to take on responsibility for the rescued pets. If the assembly decided to establish animal control, it

Kenai Peninsula Borough assembly member Bill Smith (left) discusses the borough ballot proposition, which asks voters if the borough should hold elections by mail on Tuesday at the Kenai and Soldotna Chambers joint luncheon. Assembly member Brent Johnson (right) spoke to luncheon attendees about a proposition asking voters if the borough should exercise and fund limited animal control powers. The propositions will be on the Oct. 7 ballot.

would not include a dogcatcher; it would only be for animal rescue and care, Johnson said. Proposition A also asks voters in a second question if the borough should impose a mill rate of 0.02 mills on properties outside of cities to pay for domestic animal rescue and care. “I want this to have a funding mechanism because we

cannot continue to go to the budget without coming up with funding mechanisms,” Johnson said. The proposed tax would generate about $95,000 according to the proposition. Johnson said if the contracted agency doesn’t use all the money collected by the tax or the tax brings in more funds than expected, the money C

left over would accumulate. “I think the borough assembly, though, is going to have authority over this (accumulated) money, and we’re certainly going to have authority over how this ordinance gets written up,” Johnson said. If the voters are for limited animal control but against the tax, Johnson said he would not support it if it’s not funded. “It is not designed to solve the problem,” Johnson said. “It is designed to address the problem and to do something.” Smith introduced an ordinance to the assembly to hold borough elections by mail. The assembly postponed the ordinance and passed a resolution to ask voters for their view on the issue. He said there is no guarantee that if voters approve of by-mail elections that the assembly will pass it. However, if the voters are against voting by mail, it is “pretty much assured” the assembly will not enact it. “It’s not going to hurt, I think, to try something different,” Smith said. “If it doesn’t work out, we can always go back to the old precinct system.” While going to vote-by-mail See PROPS, page A-14

A Soldotna man died in an all-terrain vehicle accident near Ninilchik Monday night. Donald Burns Jr., 63, was found dead pinned underneath a Yamaha ATV around 9 p.m. on the Caribou Hills trail system, approximately six miles down Waterhole Trail, according to an Alaska State Troopers dispatch. Troopers received the report from other trail users who found Burns deceased. Burns was riding alone and was not wearing a helmet, said trooper spokesperson Megan Peters. Burns was trying to avoid some deep mud in the center of the trail by high-marking a muddy hill. Burns fell off the ATV and it slid on top of him, according to the report. “It was a very muddy trail,” Peters said. “It appears the See ATV, page A-14

Man flees Troopers, wrecks cycle, gets arrested By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

A Soldotna man is facing six misdemeanor charges after Alaska State Troopers allege he fled from a disturbance on a motorcycle and crashed down the road on Sept. 7. Troopers responded to a disturbance on Lake Road in Soldotna at about 11:30 p.m. and could hear an argument inside a residence, according to a troopers dispatch. Bryan Elliott, 44, was leaving the home when troopers arrived and attempted to leave the scene on a motorcycle, but wrecked a short distance down the road. Further investigation revealed Elliott was under the influence of alcohol, in possession of two loaded firearms while intoxicated, in possession of marijuana and without a valid motorcycle operator’s license. Elliott also broke a TV inside See WRECK, page A-14

Arthur ‘Art’ Peters

Learn about brain power

Longtime Alaskan Arthur “Art” Peters, 72, passed away Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014 at Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna after a long battle with life. Following his wishes, there will not be a memorial service, just a “goodbye for now” for his immediate family. Art was born Dec. 26, 1941 in Detroit, Mich. He served 23 years in the U.S. Army and fought honorably in two tours of Vietnam in Special Forces and was also called back for Desert Storm. He also served as a Physician’s Assistant. Art moved to Alaska in the early 1950s and had lived in Moose Pass and Ninilchik. He retired from the military in 1987 and worked in remote areas of Alaska as a Physician’s Assistant until retiring from Medicine in 2002. Art was a member of the Alaska Veteran’s Advisory Council (AVAC), Commander of Military Order of Purple Heart (MOPH), and had served in other Veteran’s organizations. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, homesteading on the Nowitna River, driving his 1955 Chevy and the “occasional martini.” His family wrote, “Art was a proud American whose love for country and especially Alaska, was immeasurable. He was an honorable man with a heart that was even larger than any border. His love of cooking made his many travels abroad even richer. He enjoyed learning all about the cuisine and would later share these recipes with his family and friends, which was one of his greatest joys in life.” “Art’s enormous love for his family, especially his wife, was infectious and it inspired others. We share these words from Art, ‘There’s a camaraderie and brotherhood of men that serve in combat and you just don’t leave. That’s your job….stay with your men.’” Art was preceded in death by a daughter, Cindy Peters He is survived by his wife, Jeanette of Ninilchik; their children and spouses, John and Cheri Hershey of California, Julie Marcinkowski of Nikiski, Alaska, Sally and Terry Glynn of Gold Canyon, Arizona, and Shana and Jose Effio; granddaughters, Stephanie and Alexandra, all of Gilbert, Arizona, and his four-legged child, “Izzy”, still living at home in Ninilchik; two brothers and four sisters.

Poverty rate drops for first time since 2006 By JESSE J. HOLLAND Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The poverty rate in the United States has dropped for the first time since 2006, bringing a bit of encouraging news about the nation’s economy as President Barack Obama and Congress gear up for midterm elections. The Census Bureau, in its annual look at poverty in the United States, said that the poverty rate in 2013 was 14.5 percent, down from 15 percent in 2012. The decrease in the poverty rate was attributed to the growth in year-round employment by 2.8 million jobs in the United States, govern-

ment officials said. White House officials cheered the positive information in the census release. “There is reason to believe that this progress has continued into 2014, as the labor market has strengthened and millions have gained health insurance coverage,” said Jason Furman and Betsey Stevenson, members of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. “At the same time, the data also offer a clear illustration of the large amount of work that remains to strengthen the middle class in the wake of the worst recession since the Great Depression.” The median household in-

However, census officials said that income is 8 percent less than it was in 2007, the year before the United States entered the recession. Officials also say that the number of children under 18 in poverty declined from the previous year for the first time since 2000. The number of children in poverty dropped from 21.8 percent in 2012 to 19.9 percent in 2013, and the number of children in poverty also declined from 16.1 million to

14.7 million. The official poverty level is based on a government calculation that includes only income before tax deductions. It excludes capital gains or accumulated wealth, such as home ownership. As a result, the rate takes into account the effects of some government benefits, such as unemployment compensation. It does not factor in noncash government aid such as tax credits and food stamps. A family of four is considered to be living in poverty if it brings in less than $23,830 in a year. A person is considered to be living in poverty if he or she makes less than $11,890.

What Others Say

Pink salmon purchase helps state, nation This is the way the federal govern-

ment should work. Alaska has a surplus of pink salmon from the 2013 record harvest. The feds need food to feed the poor. The state and the feds will help each other, with the latter buying $13 million in pinks from the former. This is terrific for the state and The Emergency Food Assistance Program operated by the feds. This salmon, one of the best nutrient sources available anywhere, will help Americans who have been seeking emergency food assistance as a result of the economy and lack of jobs in their parts of the nation. It would be shameful for the feds to be aware of the surplus salmon and not acquire it for such a program. The feds also will be assisting the state in that, with supplies from ‘13 remaining, it is difficult to proceed with 2014’s newest supply. This will help Alaska’s salmon-fishing industry. Sen. Lisa Murkowski asked Tom Vilsack, secretary for the United States Department of Agriculture, to consider such a purchase weeks ago. Gov. Sean Parnell made a similar request. Clearly, it’s a request that all of Alaska’s congressional delegation and leadership would favor. The purchase will help the low-income families seeking food assistance, some of whom are living in Alaska. It also helps the fishermen and the state. It’s what this state and nation is all about — Alaskans and Americans helping out, supporting each other and the state and nation. — Ketchikan Daily News, Sept. 5

Quotable “Neither today, nor yesterday, nor in the previous days did Ukrainian forces shell any residential areas.” — Col. Andriy Lysenko, spokesman for the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, commenting on fresh shelling that killed six people and wounded 15 others in the rebel stronghold of Donetsk. “The trendlines in this crisis are grave, and without immediate international action we are facing the potential for a public health crisis that could claim lives on a scale far greater than current estimates, and set the countries of West Africa back a generation. This is a perilous crisis but one we can contain if the international community comes together to meet it head on.” — U.S. U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power on the Ebola crisis in West Africa.

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

A lesson from the violence

I’ve always had this Pollyannaish theory that a highly publicized rash of bad behavior can create such a groundswell of disgust that we are compelled as a society to face issues that should have been addressed long before. Certainly the despicable behavior of many Southerners in the 1950s and ‘60s was so outrageous that we were forced to confront racial prejudice. Obviously we still have a long way to go, but we’ve come a long way since then. That’s when television came of age, night after night showing the ugliness of Jim Crow and the racists who viciously resisted any change. Similarly, the bizarre nomination hearings for aspiring Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas put an unavoidable spotlight on sexual harassment, and that led to significant improvements in the workplace. Again, as we’re constantly reminded, this is still a dicey problem, but at least the office sleazebag has to worry about being dragged up to HR. So it is with domestic abuse. After trying as hard as it could to avoid the brutality displayed by too many of its football players off-field, the NFL is (appropriately) being dragged kicking and screaming into facing up to the sad issue of violence against women and children. Finally, after eons of battering that was simply accepted, the incredibly clumsy way the Ray Rice case was handled has caused us to face the horror of this scourge at last. For those who have just come back from

Mars and haven’t heard of Ray Rice, he’s the Baltimore Ravens star who was taped moving his unconscious future wife on the floor off an elevator. League Commissioner Roger Goodell’s response? Bob Franken A two-game suspension ... far less than what would be levied against a player caught abusing illegal drugs or steroids. Apparently, human abuse was considered less egregious by Goodell, at least until he was greeted by a public uproar. It got louder after the emergence of another video that showed Rice actually slugging his then-fiancee into unconsciousness, and suddenly we’re finally talking about the way some men do violence against those who are weaker. By the way, Rice’s fiancee became his wife, which points out another societywide problem: The adult victims are often the enablers, to the point that many women around the country are, incredibly, siding with Ray Rice. Similarly, the physical punishment another NFL star, Adrian Peterson, meted out to his son (hitting him with a switch till he bled; Peterson called it a “whooping”) has ignited a fiery debate about battering children. In this case, a Texas prosecutor has called Peterson’s behavior something else: a crime, and Good-

ell has another problem with one of his stars to finesse. Remember that this is the same league that refuses to get involved in the controversy over the name of its Washington franchise, which is a racial slur, so if you’re looking for Goodell and his collection of team owners to do right, don’t hold your breath, unless all this starts costing them money because people contemptuously stop watching their games. The NFL is hoping the controversy dies down, that we forget about it. It’s not bad crisis-management strategy, but we can’t let that happen. Violent abuse, particularly against women and children, isn’t allowed. No hitting or rough treatment. Period. And sure as can be, someone will ask what happens if a woman or child threatens dire harm or death. Then, obviously, do what it takes to stop that, but we first must do away with the belief that violence is an acceptable way to impose one’s will on loved ones ... or even unloved ones. It would seem to be an obvious proposition, but it isn’t. This is the time to change, while the discussions ignited by these ugly incidents are still simmering. In that way, we can turn a terrible wrong into a right: the right of anyone to not be violently bullied. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Looking to November, parties play it safe By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON — Seven weeks before the elections, Republicans and Democrats are both playing it safe, willing to make short-term sacrifices of long-held positions in hopes of maximizing their chances for victory at the polls. That means that House Republicans who recently voted to sue President Barack Obama for what they say is his failure to obey the Constitution seem likely to hand him new war powers to combat militants seeking an Islamic state. At the same time, legislation seems on track to extend federal funding past the end of the budget year, this time without the drama of a partial federal shutdown that sent Republican poll numbers tumbling in the fall of 2013. On the other side of the political divide, Obama recently delayed an order to increase the number of immigrants allowed to stay in the country even though they are here illegally. The retreat came after Senate Democrats expressed concern that immediate action could inflame voters who oppose easing current rules, and ensure the defeat of their candidates in key Senate races. These moves have dissenters in the approach of an election that will determine control of the Senate and the makeup of the House that convene in January. Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois said the White House was “walking away from our values and our principles” when the president changed his mind and decided to wait until after the election to issue his order on immigration. Heritage Action and Club for Growth, which often attack the congressional Republican leadership as insufficiently conservative, bluntly challenged newly installed House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. “Stay true to your comments from June and affirmatively fight to end the Export-Import Bank,” they wrote. The agency will be extended through June 30 in the spending bill, even though McCarthy and others promised to kill it off. Despite the strategic stand-downs, battles over immigration, Obama’s foreign policy and health care will eventually happen, as rhetoric from both sides makes clear. Republicans opposed to most of Obama’s agenda have adopted a yes-but approach to his request for stepped up U.S. involvement against Islamic State militants who have overrun parts of Iraq and Syria. House Speaker John Boehner, who has criticized the administration as slow to respond to the threat, said he had concerns and questions after Obama’s speech on Wednesday night. Yet, he said, “We ought to give the president what he’s asking for.” Other Republicans agree the militants must be confronted. But it plainly pains them to follow Obama’s lead. Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana said some Republicans think “this is not the C

Moda: Extending policies creates divided insured pool BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — A spokesman for Moda Health says it doesn’t make sense for the company to continue to extend health insurance policies that are not in compliance with the federal health care overhaul.

Jonathan Nicholas says the company will not extend past this year such policies in Alaska, Oregon and Washington. The company offers policies on insurance exchanges in all three states. President Barack Obama last year announced that insurers could extend through 2014 plans that otherwise would have been canceled, a timeline

that was later extended. The other insurer on Alaska’s exchange, Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield, plans to extend the older plans through 2016. Nicholas says allowing for older policies to be extended created a divided risk pool. He says Moda has chosen to focus on one risk pool.

Questions raised about Bristol Bay mine initiative BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — Questions were raised Tuesday about when the Legislature would have to get involved in authorizing a large-scale mine in the Bristol Bay region if a ballot initiative passes this November. The initiative states that, in addition to permits and other authorizations required by law, a final authorization would be needed from the Legislature for any large-scale metallic sulfide mining operation within the watershed of the Bristol Bay Fisheries Reserve. That authorization would come in the

form of a law finding the operation would not constitute a danger to the region’s world-class salmon fishery. The measure would have implications for the massive proposed gold-and-copper project known as the Pebble Mine. Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell raised the questions during a public hearing on the initiative that he oversaw. State law requires the lieutenant governor to hold public hearings around the state on initiatives. Hearings are also being held on measures that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana and raise the state minimum wage. Before the hearing Tuesday, Treadwell said the mini-

mum-wage proposal is the most straightforward of the three. One of his goals with the hearings on initiatives is to build a record that includes the intent of the sponsors, mechanics of the proposals and what the public is thinking about them, particularly in the event of litigation. Treadwell asked initiative supporter Anders Gustafson when lawmakers would get involved in weighing in on a large-scale mine project and what would happen if additional permits were needed after the Legislature acted. Gustafson, executive director of the Renewable Resources Coalition, said the intent is for

legislative involvement at the end of the permitting process, to allow for a review of the cumulative impacts of the fully defined project and an opportunity for further public comment. The intent is not to go back to the Legislature repeatedly for approval of smaller, more incidental permits, like a change in subgrade to a road, Gustafson said. But he said that if there was a proposal to fundamentally change a project, that proposal would likely trigger a review by the Legislature. Gustafson added that disputes over major changes probably would ultimately be decided in a legal

setting. In an interview later, Gustafson said that there should be an extra layer of public review for a mine of the size of the Pebble Mine in a place like Bristol Bay. The initiative is not aimed at exploratory work, he said. Jason Brune, president of the Alaska Miners Association, said the initiative would inject politics into the process and breed unpredictability that could affect future investment in the state. Although the initiative is focused on large-scaling mining in the Bristol Bay fisheries reserve, its scope could be

expanded by lawmakers in the future, Brune said. If supporters of the initiative lack confidence in the state’s permitting or bonding process, they should focus on making changes to it, he said. The state Board of Fisheries in 2010 asked the Legislature to study permitting standards and environmental safeguards and take any steps deemed necessary to protect game and fish habitat in the area. Money was appropriated, but a study was never done. Gustafson said Alaskans should be able to make changes in rules if needed to help protect the state’s resources.

in our rural areas,” Parnell said in a prepared statement. The Big Thorne project would provide nearly 155 million board feet from about 8,500 acres In the Tongass National Forest. The state received more than $221 million in Tongass timber payments between 1970 and 2014, according to one of the state’s motions to intervene. Earthjustice filed two lawsuits in court soon after the decision by Tongass National Forest Supervisor Forrest Cole to move forward.

The Big Thorne sale is targeted specifically in one of the lawsuits filed by Earthjustice on behalf of the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council and other environmental groups. The second Earthjustice lawsuit alleges the 2008 management plan fails to maintain old-growth trees. The third lawsuit was filed soon after by Greenpeace and other groups and presents similar challenges to the timber sale and management plan. In a response to the state’s effort to participate in the lawsuits,

the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council said the governor supports the status quo that sees 50 percent of old-growth timber from the Tongass shipped overseas. “Unlike Sean Parnell, Southeast Alaska Conservation Council is working to keep timber dollars local by supporting small sawmills, and pressuring the Forest Service to design sales that will benefit local millers without harming Southeast’s real economic drivers: fishing and tourism,” the group said in a statement.

Minneapolis-St. Paul 1 site of anti-terror program By AMY FORLITI Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — The cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul will participate in a Department of Justice pilot program designed to detect American extremists who are looking to join terror organizations overseas, U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said Tuesday. Luger announced the Twin Cities’ participation during an interview with The Associated Press. Authorities have said a handful of people have left Minnesota to join militant groups in Syria. At least one man has died while fighting for the Islamic State. “We all share the same goal,” Luger said. “The community wants this recruitment of people to travel to end. We in the federal government want it to end, and local law enforcement wants it to end. The question is: What’s the best way to

get there?” He said the solution starts with building trust in the community. Authorities have already been reaching out to members of Minnesota’s large Somali community, but this pilot program will bring in more resources from Washington to help solve the problem. Two other cities will also participate in the pilots, which were announced a day earlier by Attorney General Eric Holder. Those cities have not been publicly named, and Luger declined to disclose them on Tuesday. The program — which brings together prosecutors, religious leaders and community representatives — is a natural for Minnesota, which already has a long history of reaching out to members of at-risk communities. Authorities have been working with members of the state’s large Somali community for years, after more than 22 men went to Somalia to join the

terror group al-Shabab. Now, this nationwide effort is designed to stop a new wave of Westerners being recruited for Islamic State militant groups in Syria and Iraq. Authorities in Minnesota are investigating how a handful of people were recruited to travel to Syria and take up arms with militants. Several Somalis have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury — some back in June and others as recently as last week. Authorities have confirmed that at least one Minnesota man has died while fighting for the Islamic State, and some families fear their daughters have also gone overseas to take up the cause. Luger said one advantage to having Minneapolis and St. Paul participate in the program is that “some of the best minds in the country” are focused on building partnerships in the community and solving the problem.

CDC study: Americans’ bellies are expanding fast By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO — The number of American men and women with big-bellied, apple-shaped figures — the most dangerous kind of obesity — has climbed at a startling rate over the past decade, according to a government study. People whose fat has settled mostly around their waistlines instead of in their hips, thighs, buttocks or all over are known to run a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and other obesity-related ailments. Fifty-four percent of U.S. adults have abdominal obesity, up from 46 percent in 19992000, researchers reported in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association. Abdominal obesity is defined as a waistline of more than 35 inches in women and more than 40 inches in men. During the 12-year period studied, the average waist size in the U.S. expanded to 38 inches for women, a gain of 2 inches. It grew to 40 inches for men, a 1-inch increase. “The increase is a concern. There’s no question about that,” said Dr. William Dietz, an obesity expert formerly with the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, now at George Washington University. The expansion in waistlines came even as the overall level of obesity — as defined not by waist size but by body mass index, of BMI, a weight-to-height ratio — held fairly steady. “What it suggests is that even though the obesity rate may be stable, fat distribution may be changing, which would mean that we shouldn’t be complacent about the plateau,” said Dietz, who was not involved in the study. Dr. Earl Ford, a CDC researcher and the study’s lead author, said the seemingly contradictory trends are puzzling. He said it could be that Americans are exercising less and getting flabby. But because fat weighs less than muscle, they are not necessarily getting heavier. The study cites other possible reasons for the increase in belly fat, including sleep deprivation and certain medicines. Also, researchers said the increase might be related to pesticides, the plastics additive BPA and other chemicals that mimic hormones that can affect weight. But the connection is speculative and unproven.

Belly fat not only makes people look apple-shaped but often means fat has built up deep inside the body, around the liver and other abdominal organs. Compared with fat that lies closer to the surface, this “visceral” fat secretes lower levels of beneficial hormones and higher levels of inflammatory substances linked to obesity-related ailments, Dr. Lisa Neff, an obesity specialist at Northwestern University. She was not involved in the study. “In people of the same weight, the person who carries weight around the middle is going to have higher risks” of obesity-related ailments, Neff said. By 2011-12, the last year studied, 44 percent of men suffered from abdominal obesity, up from 37 percent. The trend was more pronounced among women: By 2011-12, about two-thirds of all women were affected, up from just over half in 1999-2000. The researchers analyzed data from CDC health surveys

and in-person exams. Adults’ average age during those years was 45. Previously released data from the same surveys indicate that about 35 percent of U.S.

adults are obese, a level that hasn’t budged much in recent years. Those surveys define obesity as a BMI of at least 30. For example, someone who is 5-foot-4 — the average U.S.

woman’s height — would be obese at 175 pounds. Ford said that for both kinds of obesity, the bottom-line message for patients is probably the same: diet and exercise.

Bus driver killed during safety drill CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio school bus driver is being hailed as a hero after tossing a child out of the way of a rolling bus Tuesday morning before the vehicle rolled over the driver herself and she was killed. “She sacrificed her own life to save the life of this 10-year-old girl,” said Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards. The bus driver has been identified as 51-year-old Laura Zborowski of Akron. Edwards said the bus pulled up beside Middlebury Academy in Akron and Zborowski asked the students to perform routine evacuation drills.

The students, about 40 ranging from kindergartners to eighth-graders, first exited the bus at the front and lined up single file on the sidewalk as instructed. They then got back on the bus and exited the rear emergency exit, Edwards said. The 10-year-old girl, the last to exit, was climbing out the back of the bus when the vehicle started rolling backward, Edwards said. Zborowski threw the girl onto the lawn and then the bus rolled over Zborowski. “I don’t think she had time to react,” Edwards said. The bus came to a stop af-

ter rolling into a tree, Edwards said. Zborowski worked for a private bus company, Cincinnati-based Petermann, a subsidiary of National Express Corp. Zborowski was pronounced dead at a hospital about two hours after the 8:10 a.m. accident. Middlebury Academy and the Akron school district sent grief counselors to the charter school. “Our focus is making sure kids feel safe and supportive and to get whatever resources we can into the school immediately,” school executive director Joe Palmer said.

NASA picks Boeing and SpaceX to ferry astronauts By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA is a giant step closer to launching Americans again from U.S. soil. On Tuesday, the space agency picked Boeing and SpaceX to transport astronauts to the International Space Station in the next few years. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden named the winners of the competition at Kennedy Space Center, next door to where the launches should occur in a few years. The wall behind him was emblazoned with the words “Launch America” and “Commercial crew transportation/The mission is in sight.” “I want you to look behind me,” Bolden said, pointing both thumbs to the big, bright logos. “I’m giddy today, I will admit.” The deal will end NASA’s expensive reliance on Russia to ferry astronauts to and from the space station. NASA has set a goal of 2017 for the first launch from Cape Canaveral, but stressed it will not sacrifice safety to meet that date. NASA ended up going with a blend of old and new space: big traditional Boeing, which helped build the space station and prepped the space shuttles, and smaller, scrappier upstart

SpaceX. Just 12 years old, the California-based SpaceX already is delivering supplies to the space station — its crew capsule is a version of its cargo carrier. NASA will pay Boeing $4.2 billion and SpaceX $2.6 billion to certify, test and fly their crew capsules. The two contracts call for at least two and as many as six missions for a crew of four as well as supplies and scientific experiments, said NASA’s Kathy Lueders, commercial crew program manager. The spacecraft will double as emergency lifeboats at the orbiting outpost. SpaceX billionaire founder and chief executive, Elon Musk, was elated by Tuesday’s news, as were Boeing’s top managers. “Deeply honored and appreciative of the trust that NASA has placed in SpaceX for the future of human spaceflight,” Musk said in a tweet. Noted Boeing’s John Elbon, vice president and general manager of space exploration: “Boeing has been part of every American human space flight program, and we’re honored that NASA has chosen us to continue that legacy.” The third major contender, Sierra Nevada Corp., had the most novel entry, a mini-shuttle named Dream Chaser that it was developing in Colorado. NASA officials declined to

elaborate on the decision and why Sierra Nevada lost out. In a statement, Sierra Nevada said it would wait to hear NASA’s rationale before commenting further on the options for its spacecraft. While disappointed that it wasn’t selected, the company said it “commends NASA for initiating the effort.” U.S. astronauts have been riding Russian rockets ever since NASA’s space shuttles retired in 2011. The latest price tag is $71 million per seat; NASA puts at least four of its astronauts on a Russian Soyuz every year. SpaceX has indicated its seats will cost $20 million apiece. “From day one, the Obama administration has made it very clear that the greatest nation on Earth should not be dependent on any other nation to get into space,” Bolden told reporters. The commercial crew program follows the successful cargo delivery effort underway for the past two years, also under NASA contract. The objective, for years, has been for NASA to hand space station flights to private companies and focus on getting astronauts into true outer space, with destinations such as asteroids and Mars. NASA is prepping its first-ever Orion deep-space exploration capsule for an unmanned test flight in December. Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp. — SpaceX

Cops: No past reason to enter remains-filled home

BLACKSTONE, Mass. (AP) — Police responded to several calls in recent years from a home where the remains of three infants were found last week but never had reason to check conditions inside the home, according to police logs released Tuesday. Erika Murray, 31, who lived in the home, is being held without bail on charges including fetal death concealment and permitting substantial injury to a child. Four children ranging in age from 6 months to 13 years old were removed from the home on Aug. 28 and placed in state custody. The Blackstone police logs reveal that officers were called to the home seven other times since 2008, the period in which authorities said Murray lived in the house with her boyfriend, Ramon Rivera. Many of the calls involved dogs. According to an August 2011 entry, police and the town’s ani-

mal control officer responded to a call from a concerned neighbor about a dog that was tied up on a leash in the backyard. Police Chief Ross Atstupenas said that based on conditions found outside of the home, officers had no legal reason at the time to enter. “While we will all wonder what could have been done to prevent this terrible tragedy, our officers continue to do their jobs well, and no one could have predicted the scene that investigators would find last week,” Atstupenas said in a statement. Police also released logs dating from 2000-2007 but said those calls involved previous occupants of the home. The state medical examiner is performing autopsies on the remains of the infants, which were found inside the home after prosecutors obtained search warrants. Not guilty pleas were entered

for Murray at her arraignment last week and her lawyer, Keith Halpern, has suggested she may be mentally ill. Rivera was charged with growing marijuana but has not been charged in connection with the discovery of the remains. Town officials reported Tuesday they had completed the cleanup of the squalid, home. Crews filled four trash bins and more than 20 biohazard containers with debris that authorities said included mounds of soiled diapers.

for short — became the first private company to launch a spacecraft into orbit and retrieve it in 2010. The SpaceX Dragon capsule made its first space station trip, with astronaut supplies, in 2012. The Dragon cargo carrier has been enhanced to carry as many as seven astronauts. It’s known as Dragon v2 — version two. Orbital Sciences Corp. of Virginia, which also makes unmanned space station shipments, did not vie for crew-carrying privileges. Boeing’s entry was also a capsule, called CST-100. The letters stand for Crew Space Transportation, and the number refers to 100 kilometers or 62 miles, the official start of space. Boeing will use a former shuttle hangar at Kennedy to build the capsules. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said Boeing alone will add 550 jobs to Cape Canaveral, welcome news for a region still struggling economically from the shuttle shutdown. Both spacecraft will meet

rigorous safety standards for the astronauts who will fly on them, officials stressed. CST-100 will fly atop an Atlas V rocket, while SpaceX will use its own Falcon 9 rocket. NASA astronaut Mike Fincke noted that while the capsules may be small, they’re carrying “big expectations.” NASA paid each of these three major contenders hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years to spur development. The differing amounts of these two new contracts were based on each company’s proposal, Lueders said. Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin company

in Washington state received NASA funding in the early rounds of competition, then said it would continue working on its own, unfunded by the government. The company had given sparse details about its progress and intent. Rocket maker United Launch Alliance, which is behind the Atlas V, scheduled a news conference on Wednesday with Bezos to discuss a possible collaboration. The company has been under pressure, given the political tension between the two countries, to come up with a backup for the Russian-built main engine in the Atlas V.

Ukraine ratifies landmark deal with Europe By LAURA MILLS Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine moved to resolve months of crisis Tuesday by strengthening ties to Europe and loosening some controls over the country’s rebellious eastern regions where it has been fighting Russian-backed separatists. The actions by lawmakers began to flesh out the emerging picture of a new Ukraine, where a determined pivot toward Europe has come at great cost: concessions to Russia and a war with rebels that killed more than 3,000 people and pushed the West’s relations with Moscow to Cold War-era lows. The measure deepening the economic and political ties with Europe was the issue that sparked the crisis last fall, when then-President Viktor Yanukovych’s decision to shelve the deal in favor of closer ties with Russia sparked protests by hundreds of thousands. Those demonstrations eventually drove him from power in February and led to the annexation of Crimea by Moscow and the rebellion in the east, where a shaky cease-fire began Sept. 5. The deal lowers trade tariffs between Europe and Ukraine, requires Ukrainian goods to meet European regulatory standards and forces the Kiev government to undertake major political and economic reforms. After parliament ratified the measure, lawmakers leapt to their feet to applaud and sing the Ukrainian national anthem. A live broadcast of the session was beamed to the European parliament. President Petro Poroshenko called the vote a “first but very decisive step” toward bringing Ukraine fully into the European Union. He said the protesters who died in clashes with riot police

in Kiev and the government troops killed by rebels in the east “have died not only for their motherland. They gave up their lives for us to take a dignified place among the European family.” “After World War II, not a single nation has paid such a high price for their right to be European,” he said. “Can you tell me, who now after this will be brave enough to shut the doors to Europe in front of Ukraine?” Earlier Tuesday, the parliament also approved laws granting temporary self-rule to rebellious, pro-Russian regions in the east, as well as amnesty for many of those involved in the fighting. The lawmakers took that action behind closed doors, in stark contrast to the patriotic fanfare of that vote on the European agreement. In his thunderous speech, Poroshenko did not mention those two measures, which are likely to generate far more controversy among Ukrainians. One of the laws calls for three years of self-rule in parts of eastern Ukraine and for local elections in November. It grants concessions that were not offered in a peace plan that Poroshenko put forward three months ago when he became president, such as local oversight of court and prosecutor appointments and local control of police. A separate bill calls for amnesty for those involved in the eastern fighting, although not for persons suspected or charged with crimes including murder, sabotage, rape, kidnapping and terrorism. The law also does not grant amnesty to those who have tried to kill Ukrainian law enforcement officials and servicemen — meaning that most of the separatists, who have waged war for five months on government forces, could not be eligible.

The decision to hold a closed-door session — an anomaly in the Ukrainian parliament — underscored the political challenges of the measures. Although Poroshenko did not mention the bills in his speech, he was later quoted by Interfax-Ukraine as saying that he felt “we are obliged to take a step to ensure that the other side takes corresponding steps” toward peace. Alexander Zakharchenko, the leader of the rebels in the Donetsk region, told Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency that the separatist leadership would study the measures, an unusually conciliatory statement compared to the rebels’ previous assertions that they aim for complete independence. The U.S. State Department congratulated the Ukrainian lawmakers. “By forging ahead with this agreement in the face of great challenges, Ukraine’s leaders have carried out the will of the Ukrainian people, who demonstrated their overwhelming support for further integration with Europe last winter and with their votes in the May 25 presidential elections,” said Marie Harf, deputy spokeswoman at the State Department. Harf also applauded the passage of the amnesty and selfrule measures, saying they were “two important commitments Ukraine made in the Minsk cease-fire agreement on Sept. 5.” She urged Russia and the separatists to begin immediate and full implementation of the cease-fire agreement. The passage of the measures came as Poroshenko begins his first state visit to Canada and the U.S., where he will address a joint session of Congress on Thursday and is also scheduled to speak to the U.N. General Assembly next week. The EU association agree-

Ukraine’s parliament ratified an agreement to deepen economic and political ties with the European Union on Tuesday, and passed legislation to grant autonomy to the rebellious east as part of a peace deal.

ment was long sought by Ukrainians who want their country to turn westward and out of Russia’s sphere of influence, and its passage was welcomed by many in Kiev, even if they also were worried about some of the government’s actions. “I participated in the protests, and we’ve been waiting for this for so long,” said Rostislav Sezov, adding that he didn’t oppose greater autonomy for regions in the east. “Let us be smaller but better. Let us be a core that is oriented toward Europe,” he said. During the protests in Febru-

ary, the EU’s flag — the same blue and yellow as Ukraine’s — was seen everywhere. That symbol faded into the background as demonstrators, who set up camp on Kiev’s Independence Square, fended off riot police night after gripping night with barricades of bricks and burning tires. But even after Russia annexed Ukraine’s Black Sea peninsula of Crimea in March and a pro-Russian rebellion broke out in eastern Ukraine in April, the new Kiev government made it clear that it would not back down from the EU deal. In Brussels, EU lawmak-

ers overwhelmingly ratified the agreement. “The message this sends could not be clearer: the European Parliament supports Ukraine in its European vocation,” said Martin Schulz, the president of the EU Parliament. “The European Parliament will continue defending a united and sovereign Ukraine.” Russia has strongly opposed Ukraine’s tilt toward the EU and it has threatened that the reduction of tariffs on Western goods would force it to limit the influx of Ukrainian products into Russia.

Sides in Scottish referendum make final push By JILL LAWLESS Associated Press

EDINBURGH, Scotland — The two sides in Scotland’s independence debate scrambled Tuesday to convert undecided voters, with just two days to go until a referendum on separation. The pitch of the debate has grown increasingly shrill as both sides make their oft-repeated claims and promises with increasing urgency, and supporters square off at public appearances. Labour Party leader Ed MIliband, who backs the antiindependence “Better Together” campaign, was surrounded by rival camps shouting “Vote Yes” and “Vote No” during a walkabout at an Edinburgh shopping center. Miliband said he understood that “passions run high,” but he hoped the debate would be conducted “in a civilized way.”

Thursday’s referendum, in which more than 4.2 million people are registered to vote, is a high-stakes decision that could end a political union that has stood since 1707. Anti-independence campaigners argue that separation could send the economy into a tailspin. The Yes side accuses its foes of scaremongering and says independence will give Scots political control and economic prosperity. After a late poll surge for the pro-independence side, the No campaign is striving to persuade Scottish voters that they will gain more autonomy if they do not secede. Prime Minister David Cameron, Miliband and Liberal Democrat chief Nick Clegg all signed a pledge published Tuesday in the Daily Record newspaper promising Scots “extensive new powers” — including tax-raising authority — if they remain part of the United Kingdom.

Dominican officials turn over suspects to US SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Dominican authorities have extradited 14 suspects to the U.S. to face a slew of drug, extortion and fraud charges. The group was turned over to agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on Tuesday at an air base in the capital of Santo Domingo. The suspects did not contest extradition and are expected to be tried in a federal court in New York. Miguel Medina is a spokesman for the Dominican National Drug Control Agency. He says most of the suspects are alleged members of a gang that was broken up in late May with raids requested by the U.S.

‘This is bound to be a messy and expensive and costly and difficult divorce.’ — Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown Salmond has stressed that after a Yes vote, many things will not change, from the currency to the monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. No campaigners have used increasingly stark language to claim a Yes vote would be irreversible. On Tuesday Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown — a Scot who commands considerable popular affection in the country — said voting for independence would end “every single last remaining link that exists, the connections we have, with our friends, neighbors and relatives” in the rest of the U.K.

“This cannot be a trial separation,” Brown told an audience in western Scotland. “This is bound to be a messy and expensive and costly and difficult divorce.” But Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland would “continue to be part of the family of nations that make up the British Isles.” “Those ties are not about politics, those ties are about people,” she said. Polls suggest the outcome will be close, and several hundred thousand voters who have yet to make up their minds could determine whether Scotland leaves its 307-year-old union with England.

For some voters, concerns about economic insecurity and job losses are a powerful reason to reject independence. Property developer Alex Watts said international investors were putting Scottish projects and purchases on hold because of the uncertainty around the vote. “What the property industry needs in Scotland is more certainty and stability,” he said. “Why should we take the risk? Scotland is not the only place to invest in.” Others, though, say the negative campaign of politicians on the No side has driven them into the Yes camp. “Rather than putting their own case for why we should stay together they’re trying to scare us into not separating,” said Mike Smith, who sells leather goods from a stall along Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. “If that’s what they’re doing now, what are they doing the rest of the time?”

Restoration of oldest pyramid on track

Around the World

Labour Party politician Douglas Alexander said a No vote meant “faster, safer, better change for Scotland,” while independence would bring “risks, uncertainties and costs.” “With just 48 hours to go, they can’t even tell us what currency we’ll be using,” Alexander told No supporters in Edinburgh’s financial district. The pro-independence Scottish government says Scotland will continue to use the pound sterling, but the British government insists it won’t agree to a currency union. The Yes campaign says the promises of new powers are vague and reveal the No side’s desperation. “This last-minute desperate offer of nothing is not going to dissuade people in Scotland from the huge opportunity of taking Scotland’s future into Scotland’s hands this coming Thursday,” First Minister Alex Salmond told the BBC.

BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombia’s police chief says leftist rebels have killed seven police officers and injured five in an ambush in the country’s northwest. National Police Gen. Rodolfo Palomino tells The Associated Press that members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia bombed a truck that was carrying 14 police officers on a road in Tierradentro in Cordoba province, 415 kilometers (258 miles) northwest of the capital, Bogota. Palomino said that seven officers were killed, five were seriously injured and two were uninjured in Tuesday’s attack. That attack comes amid ongoing peace talks between the leftist rebel group and the government of President Juan Manuel Santos being held in Havana, Cuba. Santos has warned that continued attacks by the rebels could undermine the peace process. — The Associated Press

SAQQARA, Egypt — Egypt’s antiquities minister took journalists inside a 4,600-yearold pyramid on Tuesday to reject recent accusations of mismanagement at the site as false and “without evidence.” At a press conference at the Saqqara pyramid complex, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of Cairo, Minister of Antiquities Mamdouh el-Damaty decried recent media reports alleging that the Djoser pyramid might collapse. “All these repetitions that there are fallen stones inside or outside the pyramid are not true,” el-Damaty said. He welcomed small groups of journalists inside the towering stone pyramid to view the inner chamber’s steel and wood support scaffolding. “You were with us inside the pyramid, you saw it from the inside,” el-Damaty said. “It is not destroyed, it is safe.” Criticism of the project centers on the government’s choice of a contractor, the Shurbagy construction company, which

has no antiquities experience. Critics point to a new brick wall built on top of the pyramid’s base, which they say risks damaging the ancient structure. “This company is full of corruption, they didn’t hire professional people,” said Monica Hanna, an Egyptian archaeologist. She advocates the formation of an independent committee of Egyptian conservationists to oversee the restoration of all the country’s historical sites, including Saqqara. “Looking at archival images of Saqqara over the past 100 years, the pyramid actually looks new,” Hanna said. “This should never be the case: we have to conserve these monuments in a way that is unnoticeable.” During the conference, elDamaty angrily blamed journalists for not contacting the ministry about the “rumors” of the pyramid’s structural integrity. He singled out the website “Archaeologists Against the Coup,” run by Islamist supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, as being “behind the spread of rumors which the media helped exaggerate.”

Hussien Ahmed, 70, a camel rider, talks to a visitor in front of the Djoser Pyramid, 30 kilometers southwest of Cairo, in Saqqara, Egypt, Tuesday. The restoration of the 4,600-year old pyramid has prompted controversy between the Ministry of Antiquities, activists and archaeologists.

Morsi was overthrown by the military in July 2013 amid mass demonstrations calling for his resignation after a tumultuous year in power. His supporters view the current government as illegitimate. The government has recently announced a range of programs to revitalize the tourism sector,

which fell by nearly 46 percent following the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak. Funded by museum and site ticket sales, the ministry of antiquities is facing bankruptcy as international tourists remain wary of visiting Egypt after three years of turmoil.

Kenai boys, SoHi girls capture borough titles Kenai’s Ostrander runs away with girls race while Theisen brothers battle for top spot in boys event By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

With two races left in the 2014 prep cross-country running season (only one for some runners), the time to make a move, impress the coach, or just beat a rival is now. Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough high school cross-country championships in Nikiski provided a golden opportunity for runners to put a season’s worth of practices to use and show off their speed in a smaller field

of racers. The Kenai Central boys and Soldotna girls teams captured the team titles, with Homer placing second in both divisions. Kenai senior Allie Ostrander won the girls 3-kilometer race in a time of 10 minutes, 10 seconds, a hefty 82 seconds ahead of runner-up Olivia Hutchings of Soldotna in the 3-kilometer race. “For a small race like boroughs, it’s kind of fun to run a 3K,” Ostrander said. “It’s good to sort of switch it up a

bit since we run 5K’s all season.” Most Peninsula runners are familiar with the Nikiski High trails, as many participated in the Nikiski Class Races a month ago, but it doesn’t make the trails any easier. Tuesday’s distance of three kilometers (about 1.86 miles) featured big hills and wet conditions, which Ostrander said made it difficult on the slick downhills. “It was a hard course, really hilly, but it was over fast so it was easy to push yourself,” Ostrander said. With the region and state meets ap-

proaching on the schedule, Ostrander said Tuesday’s event kept her optimistic heading into the final two races of her stellar high school career. “We’re gonna have a really hard week this week,” Ostrander said. “Start a little tapering next week and finish it off at state and go into every race with the thought that it’s another chance to get a PR.” The Soldotna girls won the team title with five runners in the top 13, led by Hutchings’ second-place finish. Dani McCormick in sixth and Daisy

Nelson in ninth were the Stars’ other top-10 finishers. The Homer girls, fresh off a team victory in the Palmer Invitational 10 days earlier, placed six runners in the top 16, led by Megan Pitzman in third, with a time of 11:42, while teammate Molly Mitchell took fourth. “You can’t duplicate a good race for a speed workout,” said Homer coach Bill Steyer. “I think our biggest competition is Grace (Christian) and See RUN, page A-11

O’s, Nats clinch divisions Baltimore, Washington claim spot in playoffs DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

BALTIMORE (AP) — Champagne was spraying all around him, and Dan Duquette couldn’t help but laugh at the mayhem he helped create. The Orioles clinched their first AL East title since 1997 by beating Toronto 8-2 Tuesday night, and Duquette was right in the middle of a long overdue celebration in the Baltimore clubhouse. “The guys are having a great time, and they earned it,” said Duquette, the team’s executive vice president of baseball operations. “We’ve got some more work to do, and these guys know it, but congratulations to them on the division crown. They did a great job.” With their ninth win in 10 games, the Orioles clinched their second playoff appearance in three years following a run of 14 consecutive losing seasons. After the final out, the Orioles converged behind second base. Fireworks soared in the outfield, while streamers and confetti sprayed throughout the boisterous crowd of 35,279. The party continued in the

clubhouse, where players wore goggles and smiles while covered in champagne and beer. “It’s everything I hoped for, man. It’s an awesome experience,” said right fielder Nick Markakis, who experienced six of those losing seasons. “We worked hard all season long to get where we are now. We got one step out of the way. Now we have a couple more steps to go.” It was Baltimore’s ninth AL East title, but only its second since 1983, when the Orioles last won the World Series. The franchise has enjoyed a rebirth under the guidance of manager Buck Showalter, whose 1,254th victory thrust him past mentor Billy Martin into sole possession of 36th place on the career list. “There’s probably not a better strategy guy in the game,” reliever Darren O’Day said. “He sees things days in advance. He put guys in opportunities to succeed. It was pretty special.” Baltimore is 42-23 in a division that includes the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox, the free-spending New York Yankees and pitching-rich Tampa Bay.

Nikiski netters take Kenai to 5 games Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Central volleyball squad escaped Nikiski with a five-game victory over the Bulldogs Tuesday night. Kenai won 3-2 with game scores of 23-25, 25-17, 25-14, 23-25 and 15-6. Kenai improved its nontournament season record to 1-2, while Nikiski dropped to 2-4. Kenai coach Tracie Beck said after being swept in two matches to Kodiak over the weekend, the long ferry ride home left the Kards plenty of time to think about things. “I think part of us believe we shouldn’t have picked a Tuesday game after Kodiak to play again,” Beck said. “We were happy to be on land, and I feel like our feet still quite weren’t under us tonight.” Kenai senior Kiana Harding led the attack with 12 kills and two aces, while teammates Abby Beck, Alli Steinbeck and Amber Walters had six kills each. Jamie Bagley notched 17 digs, Sierra Hall had four aces and Walters provided 12 assists. After the Bulldogs rallied back to tie the match up in the fourth game, Beck said Kenai’s hitting took over in the tiebreaker game. “We finally kind of played well and the fifth game was our

best game,” Beck said. “We were able to put the ball down and take care of business as far as communicating.” After hearing that sophomore Ayla Pitt would be out due to illness, Nikiski coach Stacey Segura said she was forced to make a rotation lineup change for the second straight game. “I thought that after completely losing our main middle against Kenai, going to five games with them was a huge deal,” Segura said. “Our passing was good but the hitting was off ... I’m proud of them in stepping up tonight.” After being put in the middle hitter’s position Saturday against Houston, senior Rachel Thompson returned to her setter role and racked up 14 assists, seven kills, and four serving aces. Teammate Laura Hufford amassed 24 digs, Lauren O’Brien had four kills and freshman Varity Feltman had three kills and two blocks in place of Pitt in the middle hitter position. “(Feltman) showed up and played really well in her first game,” Segura said. “It was a big step for her.” Kenai will be competing at the West Spiketacular in Anchorage this weekend, the first time the Kards are scheduled to appear in that tournament in over three years. Nikiski will host Seward, Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

NFLPA appeals Rice suspension DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

BALTIMORE (AP) — The NFL players’ union has appealed the league’s indefinite suspension of Ray Rice. Rice was originally handed a two-game suspension in July

under the NFL’s personal conduct policy after he was charged with assault following a Feb. 15 altercation with his then-fiancee in a casino elevator. The Baltimore running back had already served the first game of that suspension when, See NFL, page A-12

NATIONALS 3, BRAVES 0 ATLANTA (AP) — The Washington Nationals are again champions of the NL East, wrapping up their second division title in three years against the team that knocked them out of the top spot last season. Tanner Roark pitched five-hit ball over seven innings, Ian Desmond’s two-run homer broke a scoreless tie and the Nationals celebrated another trip to the playoffs with a victory over Atlanta. The clinching victory was especially sweet coming against the Braves, who finished 10 games ahead of the Nationals in 2013. The roles were reserved this season as Washington steadily pulled away down the stretch. Atlanta (75-76) lost for the 11th time in 14 games, further damaging its hopes of making a third straight playoff appearance as a wild card. The Braves have lost five straight

The boys race — once again — came down to the Theisen brothers of Kenai. Jonah took his second straight boroughs title in a time of 9:37, while twin brother Jordan finished 13 seconds behind in second. “We’re all in pretty good shape right now,” Theisen said. “We just got to transfer that to regions and state.” Travis Cooper took fourth to give Kenai three of the top four spots. Seward’s Hunter Kratz edged Cooper for third, only two seconds ahead, and Aaron Swedberg, Soldotna’s top runner, finished fifth. Theisen said it’s tougher to judge where the competition’s fitness level is at with a short field and a shorter race, but was still pleased with his result. “I wanted to go sub-10 (minutes) and I got that,” Theisen said.

on Sept. 8, a video surfaced showing Rice punching Janay Palmer, now his wife, in that elevator. Within hours, the Ravens released Rice and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell extended the suspension to indefinite based on the “new evidence.” Goodell and the Ravens say they never saw the video before Sept. 8. The NFL Players Association had until 11:59 p.m. Tuesday to file the appeal.

Peterson loses sponsorship MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — For as long as he’s been in the NFL, Adrian Peterson has been one of the most popular and most marketable stars in the league, an approachable superstar with the kind of inspirational comeback story that made him an endorser’s dream. Now that he is facing a felony charge of child abuse for spanking his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch, the Minnesota Vikings running back is in the middle of a firestorm the likes of which he’s never seen before, and several highprofile sponsors are starting to distance themselves while the controversy swirls envelopes a league in crisis. In the wake of the Vikings’ decision to allow Peterson to play while the legal process plays out in Texas, the Radisson hotel chain has suspended its relationship with the Vikings, Nike stores in the Twin Cities have stopped selling merchandise with his name on it and a message on his All Day Foundation’s website says the children’s charity is on hiatus and “will reengage after Adrian, his family, and staff have reflected

on how the current situation impacts the direction for Adrian’s philanthropy.” “It is an awful situation,” said Gov. Mark Dayton, who spearheaded an effort to secure $477 million in public funding for a new Vikings stadium that is being built downtown. “Yes, Mr. Peterson is entitled to due process and should be ‘innocent until proven guilty.’ However, he is a public figure; and his actions, as described, are a public embarrassment to the Vikings organization and the State of Minnesota. Whipping a child to the extent of visible wounds, as has been alleged, should not be tolerated in our state. Therefore, I believe the team should suspend Mr. Peterson, until the accusations of child abuse have been resolved by the criminal justice system.” Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf sat Peterson for the 30-7 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday while they tried to gather more information about the case. After reviewing files, speaking to Peterson, his attorney and authorities, the Wilfs decided to reinstate Peterson and he plans to play this weekend at New Orleans. On a day when AnheuserBusch said it was “disappointed and increasingly concerned” with the negative attention brought to the league by Ray Rice’s assault on his wife and Peterson’s treatment of his son, Nike pulled Peterson jerseys from its stores at the Mall of America in Bloomington and in outlet malls in Eagan and Albertville. Nike still sells the jerseys and features Peterson on its website. Mylan Inc. said it was no longer working with Peterson to promote its EpiPen, used to treat allergic reactions. The running back had participated in several promotions to raise awareness for anaphylaxis, which he has dealt with in the past.

“Mylan has ended all activities with Adrian Peterson,” spokeswoman Julie Knell said. “We remain committed to supporting those managing potentially life-threatening allergies and will continue our educational efforts to increase anaphylaxis awareness and preparedness.”

113 nominees make up NFL Hall of Fame Super Bowl-winning quarterback Kurt Warner and linebacker Junior Seau are among 15 first-year eligible modernera candidates nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Also nominated for the class of 2015 in their first year of eligibility are receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, tackle Orlando Pace, and placekicker Jason Elam. A total of 99 players and 14 coaches comprise the 113 nominees. A modern-era player or coach must be retired at least five consecutive seasons to be eligible. The selection committee will choose 25 candidates as semifinalists in late November. That list will be reduced to 15 modern-era finalists in early January. The 2015 class will be voted on the day before the Super Bowl. One senior committee nominee, former Vikings center Mick Tingelhoff, also will be on the ballot. Between four and eight new members will be selected. Inductions will be in August at Canton, Ohio, site of the Hall of Fame. Some other familiar names who have been nominated are running back Jerome Bettis, receivers Tim Brown and Marvin Harrison, guard Will Shields, defensive end/linebackers Charles Haley and Kevin Greene, safety John Lynch, and placekicker Morten Andersen. All were finalists in 2014.

Stewart-Ward case to be presented to grand jury CAROLYN THOMPSON Associated Press

The decision whether to charge three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart in the August death of a fellow driver at a sprint car race in upstate New York will be up to a grand jury. Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo said Tuesday he made the decision to present the case to a grand jury after reviewing evidence collected by sheriff’s investigators. Tantillo could have determined there was not enough evidence to support charges and dropped the case, but instead announced his decision more than a month after Stewart’s car struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. at a dirt-track race on Aug. 9. In a statement, Stewart said he respects the time and effort authorities have spent “investigating this tragic accident.” “I look forward to this process being completed, and I will continue to provide my full cooperation,” he said. Stewart-Haas Racing said Stewart will race in Sunday’s NASCAR event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Stewart spent three weeks in seclusion before returning for the final two races of the Sprint Cup season. He did not make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field, and finished 18th in the first Chase race Sunday at Chicagoland.

County Sheriff Philip Povero spent weeks investigating the accident at the small track in Canandaigua, several times saying investigators did not have any evidence to support criminal intent by Stewart. Ward had spun while racing alongside Stewart and then the 20-year-old climbed out of his car and walked down the track, waving his arms in an apparent attempt to confront the 43-yearold NASCAR veteran. “Upon my review of all of the information contained in the entire investigation,” Tantillo said, “I have made the determination that it would be appropriate to submit the evidence to the grand jury for their determination as to what action should be taken in this matter.” He said the law prevented him from saying when the case would be scheduled or who would be called as witnesses. Experts have said Stewart could be charged with seconddegree manslaughter under New York law if prosecutors believe he “recklessly caused the death of another person,” with negligent homicide another possibility. The sheriff asked in the days after Ward’s death for spectators to turn over photos and videos of the crash as investigators worked to reconstruct the accident. Among the things being looked at were the dim lighting, how muddy it was and whether Ward’s dark firesuit played a role in his death, given the conditions.

In submitting his findings to the district attorney last week, Povero said they included a “forensic video enhancement” from state police. After Ward’s death, NASCAR announced a rule that prohibits drivers from climbing out of a crashed or disabled vehicle — unless it is on fire — until safety personnel arrive. Stewart, who has 48 career Cup wins in 542 starts, is one of the biggest stars in the garage. From the small town of Columbus, Indiana, he has long been one of the most proficient drivers in racing, winning in every kind of series, from sprint cars to the elite Sprint Cup Series. He has for years taken part in little races in nondescript towns because he loves the thrill of the high horsepower, lightweight cars skidding around the dirt. He rarely made his schedule public, popping up when he pleased, and he was welcome at the clay track at Canandaigua Motorsports Park the night before the NASCAR race in nearby Watkins Glen. NASCAR spokesman Brett Jewkes said the series was closely following the case. “We are aware of the completed investigation and the announced next steps,” he said. “We will monitor this process and stay in close contact with Stewart-Haas Racing. It would be inappropriate for NASCAR to comment on this case so we will continue to respect the process and authorities involved.”

Pam Crawford said she had never attended an apple tasting. She said the experience was very educational, and she learned about apples she had never heard of, let alone tasted. Pam Crawford’s husband, Bill Crawford, said he enjoyed seeing where and how local apples were grown. “I thought they all grew in plastic bags,” Bill Crawford said with a laugh. LaVigueur, Nelson and O’Brien were on hand to answer questions storage, and preparation methods for what was tasted and purchased. Nelson said apples last longer if dried, frozen, or coated lemon juice. O’Brien said he had the easiest job at the tasting. He moved around socializing and answering inquiries about the hundreds of flavors from Silken to

Ginger Gold and Zestar apples he grows organically on his orchard. The fruiting trees in O’Briens high tunnels are in their third year, and will eventually be grown up to 8-feet-tall, to utilize all the available space in the structures, he said. “These apples that we have are from all over the world,” O’Brien said in a previous Clarion interview.

About porcupines and eating brookies 1948-49 Red Feather Lakes, Colorado 2014 North Nikiski, Alaska

y Dad owned two ranches besides the home farm that he called “The Shamrock Shorthorn Ranch.” He bought the two ranches after I left home in 1955, so I rely on information from my sisters and brothers about them. One he called the “Grace Creek Ranch” and the other was “ The T-Bone” I never got to see either one. I am sure I missed a lot. Mom and Dad and anyone they could get to go with them would spend endless hours fishing for “brookies,” small trout in the creek running through one of the ranches. Mom would fry them rolled in cornmeal and flour in a very hot skillet-usually the bacon fat that was left from breakfast, for a feast that my Dad would talk about for days! My first recollection of fishing for brookies is at Red Feather Lakes on a trip we took with Grandpa and Grandma Cogswell and my Uncles, Les and Marvin, Aunt Ruth and Uncle Norman, about 1948-49. After fishing all day, we all gathered around a large table, with a huge platter of brookies Mom had fried and was still frying. We all dug in and carefully pulled the backbone out of each fish before we ate it with great pleasure. We also had to have a slice (Dad called it a “slab”) of homemade bread with lots of butter on it - just in case we swallowed a fish bone. I remember Grandpa showing me how to carefully pull the backbone out so there would be no bones left. For a replacement of the brookies, our Alaska lake had small trout that I used to “con” Arleigh or Grey into catching so we could have a special treat of pan fried “pish” as they called it. On the particular day at Red Feather Lakes, after the big batch of brookies were devoured and a pile of bones left on the plates, everyone sat around and told stories. My Dad told his colorful and humorous stories about when he was growing up in Kansas. Bed time was bunk beds and large beds for everyone. We all were fast asleep, until Grandpa got up during to night to “go out doors” See GRANNIE, page B-2

The flavor of fall — pumpkin pie in a cinnamon bun By ALISON LADMAN Associated Press

A pumpkin pie. Rolled up in a cinnamon bun. Do we have your attention yet? That’s right... We took our autumn baking to a delicious new level by combining two classics, then topping them with an intensely good homemade caramel sauce spiked with flaked sea salt for added oomph and to contrast to all that sweetness. When slicing the log of dough into individual buns, a serrated knife works well. You also can use unflavored, unwaxed dental floss (or heavy thread). To do this, hold a length of floss (about 15 inches or so) by both ends. Slide the floss under the log and move it down to where you would make the first cut. Now lift both ends up over the dough log and pull in opposite directions across the log to slice through. Repeat with the remaining rolls. AP Photo/Matthew Mead

Salted caramel pumpkin buns

This Sept. 8, photo shows salted caramel pumpkin buns in Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours (30 minutes Concord, N.H.The bun combines two classics, pumpkin pie active) and a cinnamon bun, which is topped with a homemade caraServings: 12 mel sauce. For the dough:

3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 1/2 cups milk, warmed slightly 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon instant yeast 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom For the filling: 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1/3 cup canned pumpkin 1 egg white 1/2 teaspoon ground dry ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon For the glaze: 3 tablespoons butter 1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup light cream 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste 1/2 teaspoon flake sea salt To prepare the dough, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine all ingredients and mix on low until the dough is soft and elastic, about 8 minutes. Alternatively, the dough can be mixed by hand. If so, in a large bowl combine all

ingredients but start with 2 cups of the flour, then slowly work in the remaining 2 cups as the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead several times. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes. Once the dough has rested, use a rolling pin to roll it out into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. If the dough shrinks back, allow it to rest a little longer before continuing. Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-by-13inch baking pan with cooking spray. Alternatively, line a rimmed baking sheet with kitchen parchment and coat with cooking spray. To prepare the filling, in a medium bowl use an electric mixer beat together the cream cheese, pumpkin, egg white, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the rolled out dough going all the way to the edge except on one long side (leave 1 inch of that long side bare). Starting with that side, roll up the dough into a log like a jelly roll, pinching the sides to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 rounds. Arrange the rounds in the prepared pan. If using the 9-by-13-inch pan, the

Peninsula Clarion, Wednesday, September 17, 2014

The key to being well-liked is to make yourself likable of all ages. To order, send your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. There are tips for becoming the kind of person other people find interesting, attractive and want to know better. (If Abigail Van Buren parents, teachers and clergy know someone needing help in this regard, it might make an inexpensive gift that could help change the course of that person’s life.) The key to being well-liked by both sexes is: Be kind. Be honest. Be tactful. Don’t be afraid to give someone a compliment if you think it’s deserved. If you think you’re not beautiful (or handsome), be well-groomed, tastefully dressed, conscious of your posture. (People who stand tall and smile project selfconfidence.) If you’re not a “brain,” try harder. If you are

smarter than most, don’t be a know-it-all. Ask other people what they think and encourage them to share their opinions. If you’re not a good athlete, be a good sport. Think for yourself, but respect the rules. Be generous with kind words and affectionate gestures, but respect yourself and your family values always. If you think “putting out” will make boys like you, forget it. (It won’t work, and later you’ll be glad you didn’t.) If you need help, ask God. If you don’t need anything, THANK God! DEAR ABBY: I’m a 27-year-old male, and I have no clue how to read women’s subtle interest cues, if they ever display any. I’d like to think they have, given that I put in at least two days a week at the gym working with weights. Since you are a woman, could you please be so kind as to give this man a clue what to look for? It’s driving me nuts! — AVAILABLE IN ILLINOIS DEAR AVAILABLE: The most obvious clues that a woman finds you attractive are eye contact and a smile. That’s your opening to make conversation. The rest is up to you!

she relates to a mutual friend of yours. Even if there is some kind of friction, you need to accept both people as they are. Demonstrate caring, and the gap will be bridged. Tonight: Your treat. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHHYou’ll beam despite someone’s unpredictability and ability to shake things up. At this point, this behavior is becoming predictable. Maintain a sense of humor, but don’t laugh out loud. Tonight: Invite an older friend or family member to join you for dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might want to delay a conversation, as you will want to reflect a little more on your recent choices. Treat a friend or loved one to a late lunch. Let this person know how important he or she is. Your indulgence makes this person feel cared for. Tonight: Out and about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH In a discussionwithafriend, focus on the friendship instead of a minor issue. Your caring is likely to evolve to a new level. One-onone relating draws excitement and unpredictability. Your smile could save the day in a tense situation. Tonight: Among the crowds. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You are in the limelight, and are enjoying every moment. Understand that responsibilities naturally team up with this type of visibility; be ready to accept them gracefully. A partner or associate might not be as steady as you might like. Keep smiling. Tonight: Leader of the gang. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Let your imagination play

out, especially in a project involving others. Share more of your feelings and thoughts with a close loved one. This person adores this part of your personality. Others might be overwhelmed. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one at a distance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be experiencing a lot of different emotions, and might not know how to express them to others. Don’t worry — they probably already know, as they are very sensitive and pick up on your vibes with ease. Accept their caring. Tonight: How about dinner for two? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be responding to someone’s strong stance instead of assuming control. You might need to learn to be as receptive as you are assertive. Understand that this experience might be more important for you than you realize. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might feel the need to accomplish a lot, and you will. However, expect a certain amount of disruption from others. Choose to let calls go to voicemail right now to avoid getting entangled in a long conversation. Tonight: Off to the gym for some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Look within before trying to manipulate an associate or loved one. Why would you even need to do this? Let others make their own choices. By letting go, you will allow greater give-and-take between you and this person. Tonight: Make it romantic.

Butter Is the Real Deal Dear Heloise: When a recipe calls for BUTTER, does it mean real butter, or can you use margarine? Will it make a difference? I always associated “butter” with margarine, but I know they are not the same. — Cynthia Z., via email Yes, they are not the same! Butter and margarine are very different: One is from animals, and the other is man-made. They taste different, too. However, when cooking and baking most items, stick margarine usually can be interchanged with butter. But if you are substituting margarine for butter, be sure to use one that is at least 80 percent vegetable oil. In most pastries, cookies and candy, you really should use the real deal, unless the recipe has been tested with stick margarine. — Heloise LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: Since a grapefruit knife was mentioned several times in your column, I had to tell this story about mine: When my son was 7 or 8 years old, he was outside working diligently with a hammer. Later he walked in the house holding my grapefruit knife. It was as straight as an arrow, and he said: “Look, Mom. I fixed your knife. It’s straight now.” — Barbara M., via email NO SLIP Dear Heloise: I have a large food processor that chops, shreds, slices, etc. The suction plate for it is clamped to the counter by using a small lever. It would no longer adhere, so I tried washing the plate with pure vinegar, and lo and behold, it really grips the countertop now. If this works on the counter, it probably would clean any suction-cup device that adheres to windows, etc. — Joan, via email

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl. When I’m with the high school group of kids at my church, I try to extend myself and talk, but they never reciprocate much. I always have to try to think of something to say and be careful I don’t embarrass myself. Especially around guys, I feel awkward and self-conscious. I feel OK about myself, but I still get nervous. Other girls find things to talk about to each other but not me, and guys never talk to me first, either. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or being too careful. I’m an only child. I get along pretty well with adults, but I have a hard time with kids. I heard you have a booklet about these issues. If you think it might help me, how can I order it? — UNPOPULAR IN SACRAMENTO DEAR UNPOPULAR: Part of your problem may be that you’re an only child, which can be isolating. If you spend most of your time with adults, it’s understandable that you are less comfortable with people your own age. But don’t let it stop you from trying to be friendly. If guys don’t speak to you first, they’re probably feeling as awkward as you are. To smile and say hello is NOT being pushy. My booklet “How to Be Popular” is filled with suggestions for polishing social skills. It covers a variety of social situations and is meant for people
