In the news Man dies in refrigeration leak on fishing boat C

KODIAK — Police in Kodiak say an Everett, Washington, man has died following a refrigeration leak aboard a fishing boat. The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports the man who died was 30-year-old Cody Cecil. Police and emergency rescuers on Wednesday responded to St. Herman’s Harbor in response to a report of a refrigeration leak aboard the Alpine Cove. Cecil and 56-year-old Francis Rutten of Snohomish, Washington, were rushed to Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center. Three others were also evacuated from the boat. Police say Cecil was pronounced dead and Rutten is being treated for exposure to Freon, a gas used as a refrigerant. The Kodiak harbormaster ordered the evacuation of nearby vessels. Kodiak police and the Coast Guard’s Marine Safety Detachment are investigating. — The Associated Press

Volunteers come to bat for Oilers baseball By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

With the Peninsula Oilers season opener three days away, volunteers have come to lend a hand after the local baseball organization was thrown a curveball. High winds lifted the roof and walls off of the press box Saturday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park and left a large pile of tin and wood debris in front of the concession stand. While the grandstand remains, a building inspector will have to check off the stability of the structure,

which will need additional bracing of the backstop before the section can be opened to fans, said Oilers Board of Directors Vice President Ken Cole. The total cost to clean up and repair for the damage is expected to cost $5,000 to $10,000, an expense not in the budget, Cole said. Oilers General Manager James Clark said with the team arriving Thursday, normally he would just be working on daily upkeep and making sure the field is ready to go. With a roofless grandstand and in need of stabilization it has become

a huge project just days before the season begins. “It is a lot of added stress that sets me back,” he said. “If it wasn’t for all the help and generosity from the community, I would be out here 18-hours a day up until Saturday night trying to get everything done.” Clark said one gentleman came by the field Wednesday and donated $1,000. The roof collapse was deflating because the budget had been cut so much. In See OILERS, page A-6

ANCHORAGE — An Alaska village sued the U.S. Interior Department on Wednesday after it rejected a road through a national wildlife refuge that could improve access to emergency flights at a nearby all-weather airport. The city of King Cove, tribal governments and individuals filed the lawsuit against Secretary Sally Jewell for the agency’s denial of a gravel road to nearby Cold Bay through Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, an internationally recognized habitat for migratory birds. “This is about protecting the lives of human beings,” Della Trumble, a representative of the Agdaagux Tribe said in an announcement of the lawsuit. The state of Alaska in April gave the required 180 days’ notice that it also would sue. Interior Department spokeswoman Emily Beyer said by email that the agency could not comment on litigation. The lawsuit filed in federal court in Anchorage claims the Interior Department’s rejection is a violation of federal law and arbitrary because no other reasonable transportation alternatives exist. King Cove and Cold Bay are at the tip of the Alaska Peninsula, which juts southwest from mainland Alaska toward the start of the Aleutian Chain. The road is proposed for an See ROAD, page A-6

Assembly tweaks, passes borough budget By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

The fiscal year 2015 annual budget balancing act finished the season with a unanimous passing vote. But before its passage, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly discussed the document at length and made a few amendments at its Tuesday night meeting. Funding debates focused on three areas: education, non-

departmental organizations and the assembly budget. In the draft budget, Borough Mayor Mike Navarre proposed the borough contribute $43.5 million to schools. The KPB School District requested an additional $1.5 million. The mayor-proposed amendments at the Tuesday meeting called for an increase of $500,000 to the school district. Navarre said the borough can increase school funding later in the year, but it cannot decrease

funding allocated in the budget. In the fall, the borough plans to review the local contribution. Assembly member Brent Johnson thought the mayorproposed amount was fair. “This $500,000 that the mayor has asked us to give is a compromise position,” Johnson said. … “I want to reward the school district people who are looking after the business of the school and appropriate this money for them.” Assembly member Charlie

Pierce said he wanted to keep the $500,000 in the borough’s account and let the district show that it needs the funds. “There’s no emergency here,” he said. The assembly narrowly passed the increase with five yes votes and four no votes. Funding for schools is the borough’s highest expense using about 66 percent of the general fund. Pierce proposed halving the budgets for four non-departmentals — the Kenai Penin-

sula Economic Development District, Central Area Rural Transit System, Small Business Development Center and Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council. Pierce said he thinks residents of the Kenai Peninsula are split on whether or not their tax dollars should support nonprofits. “I think it’s a 50-50 issue, so tonight what I’d like to do is speak to the voice of both parSee BUDGET, page A-6

Child migrants driven to US by violence, poverty By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN and ALICIA A. CALDWELL Associated Press

Brian Duran, 14, of Comayagua, Honduras collects his line-dried laundry at the Senda de Vida migrant shelter in Reynosa, Mexico, June 3. Duran traveled alone to the U.S.-Mexico border and hopes to soon become one of the more than 47,000 unaccompanied children to enter the United States since Oct. 1, 2013.

REYNOSA, Mexico — Before 14-year-old Brian Duran set out from central Honduras in mid-April, he heard that child migrants who turned themselves in to the U.S. Border Patrol were being cared for and not deported. He knew that a couple of friends who left before he did had given themselves up after crossing and been reunited with family in the U.S. Sitting inside the walled compound of a migrant shelter in this Mexican border city across the Rio Grande from Texas, Brian wonders if that is still the case as he seeks a way to make his own crossing. C

“I don’t know what the environment is like now, if they (Border Patrol) are supporting or if they are returning the minors,” he said Tuesday. He said he has an uncle in the U.S., but doesn’t know where because he lost his number while journeying north. Brian isn’t alone in trying to get into the U.S. In the past eight months, 47,000 unaccompanied children have been apprehended along the border in the U.S. Southwest. More than 11,000 of those were Mexican children, who are generally quickly sent back across the border. But nearly 35,000 were from the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. By contrast, just 6,560 child migrants were put in U.S.

shelters during all of 2011. President Barack Obama called the surge a crisis Monday, saying the influx has overwhelmed the network of U.S. shelters for young migrants. He appointed the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Craig Fugate, to lead the government’s response. The Obama administration has asked Congress for $1.4 billion in extra funding to help house, feed and transport child migrants and has turned to the Defense Department to temporarily house some of them. Detained youngsters are transferred within 72 hours to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement to be See BORDER, page A-6

Sea star disease growing on Oregon Coast By JEFF BARNARD Associated Press

A mysterious disease that causes sea stars to disintegrate is exploding on the Oregon Coast. Oregon State University marine ecologist Kristen Milligan said Wednesday that Oregon was largely spared last year as the disease known as sea star wasting syndrome spread in California, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska. But monitoring of tide pools along much of the coast shows the number of sea stars affected has jumped from just 1 percent in April to as high as 50 percent. The greatest concentration is at Fogarty Creek north of Depoe Bay. One was found

as far north as Seaside. “This is an unprecedented event,” Bruce Menge, a professor of marine biology at OSU, said in a statement. “It’s very serious. Some of the sea stars most heavily affected are keystone predators that influence the whole diversity of life in the intertidal zone.” Milligan, research program coordinator for the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans at OSU, says the cause of the disease is still unknown.

Birdcall playback prompts debate By DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press

Wildlife watchers can now wield unnatural powers, playing actual birdcalls on smart phones and other mobile devices. The practice, called playback, is effective for attracting elusive species but also can harm nesting birds if overused. “It’s kind of a balancing act,” said Jeffrey Gordon, president of the American Birding Association in Colorado Springs, Colorado. “If you’re bringing a common bird into view for a group of kids or showing people how habitat is really good for birds, then a case can be made that it’s a good tool for making birds visible. Caution is most warranted when you have a rare species or a species when a lot of people want to see it at the same location.” The prevalence of these small, inexpensive tools is increasing at a rate that concerns many recreational birders, said Michael Webster, a professor and director of Cornell University’s Macaulay Library archive, the repository for more than 200,000 bird call recordings — 150,000 of which people can use online. “The main negative? It can stress the birds, especially if overdone,” Webster said. “On the positive side? These are devices for people to get out there and experience nature. It’s educational engagement.” People should, however, adhere to a wildlife-watching code of ethics, he said. The American Birding Association’s Principles of Birding Ethics includes: “Limit the use of recordings and other methods of attracting birds, and never use such methods in heavily birded areas, or for attracting any species that is Threatened, Endangered or of Special Concern, or is rare in your local area.”

‘The main negative? It can stress the birds, especially if overdone.’ — Michael Webster, professor and director of Cornell University’s Macaulay Library archive That language soon may be updated, Gordon said. “I don’t know if that will make it more restrictive, though, just more thorough — spelling out a little better that not one size fits all. There are so many birds in so many situations that common sense and courtesy will be a better fit.” Here, then, are some common-sense suggestions for minimizing playback disturbance to birds and other birders, from noted field guide author David Sibley’s website: — Have a plan. Choose your spot and know your quarry, don’t just play sounds. — Play snippets of sound — less than 30 seconds at a time — with a long pause before the next snippet. After five minutes or so, give it a rest. — Be subtle. You are trying to coax a bird into the open, not stir up a fight (among competing males during mating season). — No surprises. Announce your intention to play a recording and hold the device above your shoulder so other birders can see the source of the sound. “Any potential negative impacts of playback are more likely to occur in areas with a lot of birding pressure, so avoiding playback in those places is a good idea,” Sibley writes. “Where and how to use it in other situations is up to the individual birder.”

Village celebrates ‘Oz’ as classic film turns 75 CHITTENANGO, N.Y. (AP) — The central New York birthplace of the author of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” is gearing up for its annual three-day celebration of everything Oz as the classic movie based on the book turns 75. The 36th Oz-Stravaganza! starts Friday in Chittenango (chit-eh-NANG’-goh) in Madison County. The village 15 miles east of Syracuse is the hometown of L. Frank Baum, who published the first book in his Oz series in 1900. The grand marshal for the festival’s Saturday afternoon parade is Baum’s great-grandson, Roger Baum. The festival draws about 20,000 Oz fans to Chittenango. Chittenango’s All Things Oz Museum officially opens Wednesday in a new, larger location. “The Wizard of Oz” starring Judy Garland opened in U.S. theaters 75 years ago this August.

Court considers restoring NYC big-soda ban By MICHAEL VIRTANEN Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York City officials urged the state’s top court on Wednesday to reinstate the city’s ban on big sodas, arguing that the local Board of Health has authority to restrict products that make people obese and contribute to disease. The 2012 ban against peddling sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces at restaurants, delis, movie theaters, stadiums and street carts was overturned by the lower courts the same month the ban was to take effect. It was pushed by thenMayor Michael Bloomberg and since backed by Mayor Bill de Blasio. “The largest source of added sugar in the American diet, 40 percent of added sugar comes from sugary drinks,” Assistant Corporation Counsel Richard Dearing said. “They’re empty calories. They don’t provide nutritional value. ... They’re not filling. What that means is when you consume calories from sugary drinks, you don’t reduce other caloric consumption.” Several judges on the Court of Appeals questioned where the board would draw the line. Judge Eugene Piggott Jr. asked whether triple-decker burgers would be next. Judge Victoria Graffeo questioned the limit in light of exclusions like mixed coffee drinks loaded with more than 800 calories. The board’s decision was reasonable, not arbitrary, based on science, Dearing

said. He added that it isn’t actually a ban, only a limit on cup size. Restaurants, theater owners, beverage companies and small stores sued to block the restrictions. The Court of Appeals is not expected to rule on the board’s request until next month. Richard Bress, an attorney for the plaintiffs, argued Wednesday that the Board of Health lacks authority for such a policy decision and would need the City Council to first authorize it. Many council members had opposed it. “What we didn’t have was the will of the people,” Bress said. “It was a first step to going over the line to tell us what portion size we can have.”

According to the American Beverage Association, New York City is the only jurisdiction attempting such a restriction, though several others around the country have tried and failed to impose special taxes on sugary drinks. “We look forward to a final resolution of this issue, as the

soda ban would have a negative impact on businesses throughout the city,” spokesman Chris Gindlesperger said. New York City Health Commissioner Mary Bassett, recently appointed by de Blasio, said the link between the beverages and obesity isn’t in question.

What Others Say

Every bit helps They found bottle caps and rifle brass, tires and burned barrels. They picked up an errant ax and flattened cans, six-pack rings and plastic bags. Last month, Alaska State Parks employees and volunteers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration traveled to Juneau Channel Islands State Marine Park and picked up a literal boatload of trash — two, actually. With gloved hands, they plucked garbage from Coghlan and Portland islands, a pair of popular destinations for weekend adventurers. Juneau residents love wilderness — it’s the reason so many of us live here — but too often, we have a strange way of showing that love. A single discarded can won’t matter, we say. So what if the wind blew away that empty bag of hot dog buns? It’s too much trouble to get up from the camp chair and chase it down. We give it an exasperated wave goodbye and throw another log on the fire. The problem isn’t that one of us does this — it’s that many of us do it. We don’t immediately see the impact of our blown bag, so we don’t chase it down. We don’t see what happens when a curious sea lion noses into the bag and finds the packing band left inside. In 2007, Alaska Fish and Game biologists noticed a sea lion, nicknamed H80, that seemed to be wearing a collar. H80, a young, curious sea lion, had a thin white packing band encircling his neck. Over the next six years, biologists saw H80 again and again on Benjamin Island north of Juneau. H80 grew up, but the band didn’t — it cut into his neck, leaving a gory gash. By the time biologists darted H80 to remove the band, it was so embedded in his neck that it was impossible to remove without extensive surgery. That operation was deemed too risky, and H80 was freed to live his shortened life in peace. The biologists tell us that loops — six-pack rings or packing bands from bait boxes — are particularly dangerous to leave behind. From our point of view, any garbage is too much. Visitors come to Alaska to see a pristine place. We live here because we recognize, as John Muir said, that there is a love of wild nature in everybody, “an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no.” The next time you go out, away from the roads and buildings, don’t just follow the old rule of “leave no trace.” Make the place better — come back with more than you took. Bring out one piece of garbage. You don’t have to clean two islands like the state and federal volunteers did. Every little bit helps, and a lot of little bits will add up to something big.

Don’t celebrate soldier’s release

President Barack Obama marked the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with a Rose Garden event with the captive soldier’s parents and triumphant assurances that “the United States of America does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind.” When wars aren’t won or lost, but are only “ended,” it is the prisoner swaps that are the victories to be celebrated. On “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” National Security Adviser Susan Rice insisted that it was a “joyous day.” She spoke as if May 31 will forevermore be known as “Bowe Bergdahl Release Day.” All indications are that Bergdahl, traded for five top-level Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, recklessly endangered himself and his colleagues after walking off his base on June 30, 2009. Then the military appears to have done everything it could to suppress the story of what had happened that day, while expending great effort to get him back. Continuing her run of saying dubious things about matters of public import on Sunday shows, Rice said over the weekend that Bowe Bergdahl “served the United States with honor and distinction.” The record suggests the opposite. Rice repeatedly said that he was captured “on the battlefield,” although there is no evidence of any battle during which he was captured. By the sound of it, she mistook Sgt. Bergdahl for Sgt. York. Bergdahl became disillusioned with the

Pulled that Ad? Don’t you just love campaign ads that backfire, and I really love the ones that grab an old familiar phrase like we just thought this one up. “Pretty soon (or was it sooner or later), Washington will figure out I don’t take no for an answer.” Did Juneau Empire, June 4 you also hear that old line some 20 years ago from both Senator Stevens and Don Young. I think the Begich camp stole that line just like he stole that job.

war -- and with the United States -- during his deployment. He wrote of the Afghans in an email to his parents shortly before he went missing, “These people need help, yet what they get is the most Rich Lowry conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid.” He went on to say that “I am ashamed to be an American.” Afghan vet Nathan Bradley Bethea participated in the search for him. In a powerful piece for The Daily Beast, he writes that “Bergdahl was a deserter, and soldiers from his own unit died trying to track him down.” Even if you think the trade of five leading Taliban figures who will almost certainly find their way back to the fight was worth it, the swap is still an ignominious end to what appears to be a sad episode that brought unnecessary torment for Bergdahl, pain for his loved ones and bloodshed for his comrades. Let Bergdahl’s parents and friends rejoice and his hometown in Idaho welcome him with open arms. But let’s not pretend that his return is some national triumph. President Obama and his team can’t help themselves, though. They are too desperate for anything they can call a victory, and too

and publicly dirtied Uncle Ted just enough so Begich snuck by him in the polls. Do you also remember that line? Recent claims in campaign adds show the new Senator saying he put in a road and the oil will start flowing next year. What road? You mean the one without a bridge? I guess whoever is really running things in Washington failed to let the Begich camp know that the Democratic controlled EPA was going to stop that road after it was promised behind closed doors? Then to think we trusted him and hoped he would help open ANWR. He didn’t even get Alaska ANYTHING for his deciding vote on Obama care which wouldn’t have passed with “Uncle Ted” fighting it! I’ve heard that called a cheap date! Guess his puppet masters in media central let that small detail slide by scripting or screen play as to tarnish the credibility of such a statement. That’s a heck of a way to thank young Mark for his deciding vote that put Obamacare into law. Has anyone properly thanked him for trading our national health care system for a job? Don’t tell me his camp isn’t smart enough to know when he really has some very key cards to play and just how to get the most for Alaska from such key issues? Well they better figure some of that stuff out because Alaskan Voters have very clear memories of a great public servant who knew how to do our business. I just think it’s hilarious that some very valuable campaign funds have been spent on a road to nowhere, I just hope

invested in the terms of the trade. For the administration, the releases from Gitmo are less a downside of the deal than another virtue of it. It’s not just that the administration doesn’t want to leave any soldiers on the battlefield; it doesn’t want to leave any detainees at Guantanamo Bay. “I will continue to push to close Gitmo,” President Obama said in his West Point speech last week, “because American values and legal traditions do not permit the indefinite detention of people beyond our borders.” Pressed on the Gitmo releases, Susan Rice said Sunday that “the existence of Guantanamo Bay is itself a detriment to our national security.” By this logic, trading terrorists for American captives, so long as those terrorists come from Gitmo, makes us safer. The Taliban had long sought the release of its top commanders from Gitmo, and the administration perversely considers this another virtue of the swap. A senior American official told The New York Times that the deal shows “each side that the other can deliver.” As if the Taliban need to be assured of our good intentions, and as if the trustworthiness of the United States government is in any way comparable with that of a terrorist insurgency. It was folly that got Bergdahl captured, and folly that got him back. Rich Lowry can be reached via eamil: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com

Applause Kudos to crews On Memorial Day weekend, Sunday, May 25, the Funny River Wildfire changed course and headed directly for the Kenai Keys Subdivision due to an unexpected wind change. With little warning, the fire was at our door step on the opposite side of the river. By the best of fortune, the fire did not cross the river into the community but only showered us with hot embers and ash. Instead, it continued upriver a half mile where it crossed the Kenai River at Torpedo Creek thereby putting the community of Kenai Keys in harm’s way again. Almost immediately, there were three water bomber aircraft and two water dispensing helicopters on scene. These aircraft attacked the fire for almost three hours while fire crews on the ground cut fire breaks to protect the community. The ground crews then moved upriver in force and within 24 hours had that section of the fire contained. These crews continue to use our community as a staging area in continued fighting of the active fire and we welcome their presence. The community of Kenai Keys would like to sincerely thank the many firefighters and additional crews who worked so hard to save our community. Simple words cannot express our gratitude. Thank you from all of the members of the Kenai River Keys Property Owners Association. Bill Bailey

Some small businesses skip online

SEATTLE — Two railroad companies want to prevent the public from getting ahold of details about oil shipments through Washington state, a disclosure the federal government ordered be given to state emergency managers in the wake of several oil train accidents. But restricting that information violates the state’s public records law, so the state has not signed documents from the rail companies seeking confidentiality, said Mark Stewart, a spokesman for the Washington Military Department’s Emergency Management Division. The U.S. Department of Transportation issued an emergency order last month requiring railroads by Friday to notify state officials about the volume, frequency and county-bycounty routes of trains carrying 1 million or more gallons of crude oil from the Bakken region of North Dakota, Montana and parts of Canada. Federal transportation officials said they expected the states “to treat this data as confidential, providing it only to those with a need-to-know, and with the understanding that recipients of the data will continue to treat it as confidential.” That includes emergency workers who need access to the information to form response plans. BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad last Friday sent the state confidentiality agreements aiming to restrict the information to emergency response groups for planning purposes only. The companies called it “security sensitive.” Stewart said the state Emergency Response Commission sought legal advice and deter-

with a plan with what I want to do.” He knows he needs one. “People don’t think you exist,” he says. “I want to grow. I want to build my own reputation and brand.” He recently bought a domain name. And he plans to hire someone to build the site, but he thinks it will take him a few more months to get to it. “At the way I move,” says Peatman, “about six months.” Fifty-five percent of small businesses don’t have a website, according to a 2013 survey of more than 3,800 small businesses conducted by Internet search company Google and research company Ipsos. That’s a slight improvement from the year before, when 58 percent said they didn’t have a website. Small business owners who want to start a website have lots of options that make it easier than in the past. Companies such as Wix.com, Google, SquareSpace.com and Weebly. com require no coding or technical skills. Users can choose a template, drag in photos and paste in words. And with more people searching for businesses online

and on their smartphones, companies without a site may be missing out on extra business. “You might as well be a ghost,” says Blasingame, who hosts “The Small Business Advocate,” an online and nationally syndicated radio show. “The customers and opportunity pass right through you.” Sales at Bad Pickle Tees have doubled since Cyndi Grasman began selling her quirky food-related T-shirts online a year ago. She started the business in 2012, selling shirts with sayings like “Oh Kale Yeah!” and “I Heart Bacon” at food festivals. She launched the site using website publishing company Weebly, paying $250 a year. “I’m reaching a larger audience,” she says. Marilyn Caskey says her website has cut down on timeconsuming phone calls with customers. The owner of The Garment Exchange launched a website for her San Antonio consignment shop two years ago using a Google program. The store, which she opened in 2008, used to get calls all the time asking which clothing designers the shop resells. “I’ll be trying to ring up a

sale and someone would call,” says Caskey, who would read through a list to the caller of all the designers the store does and doesn’t buy. “Now we refer them to the website.” Amy Gilson hopes to be able to do that soon. She hired a company to build a website for her Oklahoma City snack food business Healthy Cravings. She is paying $4,500 for it, but she hasn’t been able to find the time to take photos and give them other information needed to finish. All customers see on EatHealthyCravings.com is a message that the site is coming soon. “Right now, I do everything,” says Gilson. “I am the accountant, the marketer, the salesman.” When she sells Healthy Cravings’ zucchini brownie bites or chia cookies at farmers’ markets, shoppers ask about a website. One customer, who was looking for the fat content of the snacks, took to Healthy Cravings’ Facebook page to ask if it had a website with more information. “I can’t wait for my website,” says Gilson, who also plans to sell treats from the site. “I can just send them there.”

Farmers Markets of the Central Peninsula

By JOSEPH PISANI AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — It’s cheap. It’s easy to do. And it can take less than 20 minutes to set up. Yet more than half of all small businesses still don’t have a website. “It’s just ridiculous,” says Jim Blasingame, a small business author and radio show host. “Every small business needs a website. Period. Nonnegotiable.” Small businesses that don’t have one say they don’t have the time, think it will cost too much or don’t want the rush of orders that comes with being online. But entrepreneurs that have jumped to the digital side say their websites have boosted sales, cut down on time-consuming phone calls and brought more people into their stores. But not everyone wants that. Steve Love has never had a website for the handmade sausage and meat business he’s owned since 1988. He says a website for LoveLand Farms would boost sales and he doesn’t have any more farmland to raise hogs and Black Angus cattle. “I don’t want it to grow,” says Love, who sells his goods at a farmers’ market in Bloomington, Indiana, and a store in another town that’s open once a week. “I’m already maxed out. I’m scared it would blow up on me.” But customers expect one. When they ask him at the farmers’ market if he has a website, he hands them a card with his phone number and a map to his shop called the Sausage Shack in Nashville, Indiana. He has no plans to start a website anytime soon. But it could happen in the future if his kids want to take over and grow the business. “I wouldn’t say never,” says Love. Some owners simply say they have no time.

mined that those agreements “require us to withhold the information in a manner that’s not consistent with the state public records act.” The commission instead presented alternative agreements to the railroads, noting that the information may be subject to disclosure. That proposal said a state official would notify the railroads if the public sought the information so the companies could seek a protective order or other remedy. Courtney Wallace, a spokeswoman for BNSF Railway, said Wednesday that the railway is reviewing that proposal. She said the company would comply with the federal order but believes the information

is “considered security sensitive and confidential, intended for people who have ‘a need to know’ for such information, such as first responders and emergency planners.” The state commission last month approved a plan to post the information online. But Stewart said Wednesday that the data would be posted only after any legal issues from a disclosure request are resolved. The federal order applies to railroad carriers with trains carrying roughly 35 tank cars or more of oil. Late Tuesday, Union Pacific Railroad told the state it does not transport Bakken crude oil trains at the order’s reporting threshold. Company spokes-

man Aaron Hunt said Union Pacific moves 163,000 carloads of crude oil across its national network, and less than 1 percent comes through Washington. In Washington, crude oil shipments went from zero in 2011 to 17 million barrels in 2013, according to rough state estimates. Those numbers are likely to increase if proposed oil terminals at the ports of Grays Harbor and Vancouver and at the state’s refineries get built. Earlier this year, some state lawmakers and groups unsuccessfully pushed for legislation that would give the public information about oil train movements through their communities.

Free Wi-Fi launched at Atlanta airport ATLANTA (AP) — Travelers, after years of complaints, will have access to a free wireless Internet network at the world’s busiest airport. Officials say the network at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport cost more than $5.2 million to install. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and the airport’s general manager on Wednesday announced the launch of the free Wi-Fi in the 6.8 million square-foot terminal complex. Officials say workers spent less than 30 days assembling the network. It’s expected to accommodate up to 15,000 simultaneous users. Southwell says the airport’s lack of a free Wi-Fi network put the facility at a competitive disadvantage, and was the No. 1 customer complaint. Customers previously had to pay $4.95 to get online. Airport officials say the airport serves more than 94 million passengers annually.

addition to his manager duties, Clark has taken on field maintenance. Oilers Head Coach Kyle Richardson arrived earlier than previously scheduled and has taken over field maintenance. Clark said the grandstands, supported by steel pipes welded together, are inspected every two years by a structural engineer and they passed their last inspection last year. Clark said his phone has been ringing off the hook with people asking what they can do to help. Harold Chambers, a friend of Clark’s, worked three straight 12-hour days to get the ballpark ready. On Wednesday, Chambers was putting up the backstop netting that was pulled off when the roof collapsed. ENSTAR Natural Gas Company sent two employees and a bucket lift to the field and Chambers spent most of Wednesday putting up the netting behind home plate. Clark said while Chambers

ties,” Pierce said. He said each agency provides valuable services to the community, but they can raise funds. “I think the government here is forcing some of the hands that say they don’t really see the benefit,” Pierce said. Assembly member Wayne Ogle proposed to amend Pierce’s proposed cuts to reduce the development district, the development center and the marketing council’s budgets by 10 percent. He said he agrees with Pierce’s viewpoint, but offered a smaller reduction to show fiscal restraint and indicate to non-profits that they should seek funding elsewhere. Assembly member Kelly Wolf said he believes non-profits should seek financial support from corporations. The assembly considered and voted on each organization separately. None of the proposed reductions passed. The development district’s funding remains at $50,000, the development center will receive $105,000 and the marketing council will get $300,000.

When the evacuation was ordered from the threat of the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire, Clark opened up his home to the Chambers family. “He is paying me back way more than I did for him,” Clark said. “We have known each other for 20 years and play softball together. I really appreciate his help.” Daniel Lynch, another friend of Clark’s, volunteered his time to put up railing where the grandstand walls used to be. Lynch said all the grandstand end boards where the wall broke off are all split and will need to be replaced. “This was a blessing in disguise,” Lynch said. Lynch wanted to help his friend and asked him to give him a project he could handle. “We are the unity in community,” he said. Merkes Builders Unlimited in Sterling has been contracted budget was doubled to $25,000 through an amendment proposed by assembly member Mako Haggerty. The rural transit system receives federal government funding based on local government contributions. “If we start to pull back from our support of (the rural transit system) then they’re going to start to lose some of that higher revenue stream,” Haggerty said. The rural transit system expanded its services into Homer recently and assembly member Sue McClure, who represents the East Peninsula, said she would like to see the organization expand to Seward as well. The assembly cut money from its travel budgets. Assembly member Dale Bagley proposed reducing out-of-state travel from $19,350 to $5,000 and in-state travel from $26,000 to $5,000. Pierce amended out-of-state travel to $10,000 and in-state travel to $16,000. Assembly President Hal Smalley said he thinks the travel the assembly does to Washington D.C., Juneau and elsewhere for government reasons benefits the borough and the assembly. Smalley said when traveling, assembly members have worked on Beluga Whale studies, federal land management, payment in lieu of taxes and other issues.

Around Alaska Kotzebue plans city-owned bar, restaurant ANCHORAGE — Kotzebue officials plan to open a cityowned bar and restaurant in an ongoing effort to generate additional revenues for city services. The business would open as early as November if approved by Alaska state liquor license regulators, the Anchorage Daily News reported. The restaurant and a city operated liquor store launched in 2010 are expected to generate about 15 percent of the general fund cash, according to a spending plan. “We’re the only game in town,” said city attorney Joe Evans. “We’re the only entity that’s allowed to apply for this type of license.” The restaurant would be called Kotzebue Grille and include a bar area, Evans said. Not all locals welcome liquor sales by the local government in an area where suicide and fetal alcohol syndrome rates are among the highest in the state. Kathy Ward, who grew up in the community of 3,200, said people who had not been regular drinkers began buying alcohol every day when the city opened the liquor store. She said she also saw more drunken teenagers. “Seeing what this has turned our people into over just a short period of time is so sad,” she said. Alcohol sales previously were banned in Kotzebue, although residents could ship in limited amounts monthly. In 2009, voters approved the creation of a city-owned package store and distribution center, as well as a city owned bar or restaurant serving alcohol. A liquor advisory board was created and the liquor store opened first. Business is booming at the liquor store, with increasingly profitable sales. Together, the liquor store and bar/restaurant are expected to make more than $1.7 million for the city in fiscal year 2015, which begins July 1. The location for the planned bar and restaurant is a former bowling alley that currently houses a boys and girls club, which would be moved to a newly built youth center. Evans said the youth center’s construction loan is being paid in part by proceeds from the liquor store.

to remove the debris and cut the team a deal for $3,000, Cole said. The clean up started Wednesday night and the crew was expected to be completed Thursday afternoon. The City of Kenai waived their dump fee, which would have been $1,000, Cole said. Six inmates from Wildwood Correctional Facility were brought out on a work release program to pick up trash and brush from under the bleachers. Clark said their work saved him three days worth of work. Hanson’s Roofing in Kenai donated a new roof for the press box. The grandstands will not have a roof put up and a new roof would not be installed until the season ended, Clark said. Play-by-play announcer Dan Gensel rewired the public address system and the music and game announcements will not be affected, Clark said. Lance Coz, the coach of the American Legion baseball team brought several members of his team to help weed the field. Catcher Kenny Griffin from Soldotna along with his teammates raked weeds from the

warning track dirt and helped zip tie the backstop. Griffin said while he has felt the grandstands move in the wind in the past, he never thought the wind would blow off the roof. With the help of volunteers the park will be ready, he said. “As a legion team we play on this field now and again and we feel obligated to take care of it too,” Griffin said. Clark said every year a windstorm would blow off a section of the outfield wall. A couple years ago the board considered a proposal for a total renovation and a new concession design would have cost $2 million, he said. Now his concern is just getting the ballpark ready for the season. The board is coming up with creative fundraisers to raise money for the club, but those efforts cover other expenses, he said. “If we have our first pitch on Sunday like we should, it will be all good,” Clark said.

Utility lays out options for Wasilla power ANCHORAGE — Wasilla officials are at odds with the Matanuska Electric Association over how to supply more power to the city as it continues to grow. The utility wants to install above ground towers to carry power lines into the downtown core, but officials want the far more expensive option of burying the lines instead, KTUU reported. Dozens of local business owners gathered Tuesday at a Greater Wasilla Chamber of Commerce meeting, where MEA officials provided an update on transition lines. MEA discussed four options for supplying additional power. C

strongly oppose the road for the precedent it would set in refuges and for damage it would create in world-class migratory bird habitat. Congress in 1997 addressed the transportation issue with a $37.5 million appropriation for water access to Cold Bay that included a $9 million hovercraft. The Aleutians East Borough took the vessel out of service after deciding it was unreliable and too expensive to operate. Village residents contend the department is trading human lives for birds. The lawsuit said Leff Kenezuroff, a plaintiff, has been medically evacuated to Cold Bay four times after heart attacks. After one episode, when planes could not fly, he was carried on a crab boat and hoisted to the dock in a crab pot because he could not climb a 25-foot ladder. Eleven people have been medically evacuated since Jan. 1, according to village officials. “We’ve been fortunate that we haven’t lost any lives this year during these challenging medivacs,” King Cove Mayor Henry Mack said. to make his trip north. But he arrived in Reynosa penniless and now hopes his sister in the Mexican state of Jalisco can send him money to cross the border. Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have rampant street gangs and a strong presence of organized crime and drug traffickers resulting in some of the highest homicide rates in the region and in the world. Honduras has the highest murder rate in the world, with 90.4 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, according to the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. Honduras’ economic growth of 3 percent in 2013 was largely based on money sent home by migrants. Almost 60 percent of the country’s 8 million people live in poverty, the World Bank says. Often, child migrants from Central America face the greatest dangers in Mexico, where gangs prey on them as they ride trains and buses north toward the U.S. border.

He said Mexico plans to raise the issue at a regional immigration conference in Nicaragua later this month. At the Senda de Vida shelter in Reynosa, a short distance from the Rio Grande, Brother Hector Silva said more and more children like Brian are arriving. “Our responsibility is to attend to them and not to take from them the vision that they carry,” he said.

Nation &World Around the World US defends prisoner swap with Taliban as Army sergeant; Gitmo detainees win freedom WASHINGTON — Five years a captive from the Afghanistan war, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is back in American hands, freed for five Guantanamo terrorism detainees in a swap stirring sharp debate in Washington over whether the U.S. should have negotiated with the Taliban over prisoners. U.S. officials said Sunday that Bergdahl’s health and safety appeared in jeopardy, prompting rapid action to secure his release. Republicans said the deal could place U.S. troops in danger, especially if the freed detainees return to the fight — one called it “shocking.” Arizona Sen. John McCain said of the five detainees, “These are the hardest of the hard core.” Visiting troops in Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel stepped forward at Bagram Air Field to thank the special operations forces who retrieved Bergdahl, who officials said was the only American prisoner of war still held by insurgents in that conflict. Gen. Joseph Dunford spoke of the excitement that spread through U.S. ranks when the sergeant’s release was confirmed. “You almost got choked up,” he said. “It was pretty extraordinary.” Tireless campaigners for their son’s freedom, Bob and Jani Bergdahl thanked all who were behind the effort to retrieve him. “You were not left behind,” Bob Bergdahl told reporters, as if speaking to his son. “We are so proud of the way this was carried out.” He spoke in Boise, Idaho, as residents in the sergeant’s hometown of Hailey prepared for a homecoming celebration. Hagel was met with silence when he told troops in a Bagram hangar: “This is a happy day. We got one of our own back.” It was unclear whether the absence of cheers and applause came from a reluctance to display emotion in front of the Pentagon chief or from any doubts among the troops about Bergdahl.

EPA seeks to cut earth-warming pollution from nation’s power plants by 30 percent by 2030

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Monday will roll out a plan to cut earth-warming pollution from power plants and 30 percent by 2030, setting in motion one of the most significant actions to address global warming in U.S. history. The rule, which is expected to be final next year, will set the first national limits on carbon dioxide, the chief gas linked to global warming from the nation’s power plants. They are the largest source of greenhouse gases in the U.S., accounting for about a third of the annual emissions that make the U.S. the second largest contributor to global warming on the planet. The Environmental Protection Agency regulation is a centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s plans to reduce the pollution linked to global warming, a step that the administration hopes will get other countries to act when negotiations on a new international treaty resume next year. Despite concluding in 2009 that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare, a finding that triggered their regulation under the 1970 Clean Air Act, it has taken years for the administration to take on the nation’s fleet of power plants. In December 2010, the Obama administration announced a “modest pace” for setting greenhouse gas standards for power plants, setting a May 2012 deadline.

Recovery of 6 climbers who fell at Mount Rainier not certain, area is dangerous MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. — It’s too dangerous right now to search for the bodies of six climbers who likely plummeted to their deaths while attempting one of the more technical and physically grueling routes to the peak of Mount Rainier in Washington state, park officials said Sunday. Like others who have died on the mountain, there’s a possibility the two guides and four climbers believed to have fallen 3,300 feet from their last known location may never be found, they say. “People are very understanding that we cannot risk another life at this point,” Patti Wold, a Mount Rainier National Park spokeswoman, said Sunday. Under safer conditions, crews could go in after the bodies. “The families, I’m sure, would like that closure,” Wold said. But continuous falling ice and rock make the avalancheprone area too dangerous for rescuers, she said. The climbers were last heard from at 6 p.m. Wednesday when the guides checked in with their Seattle-based company, Alpine Ascents International, by satellite phone. The group failed to return Friday as planned.

Boko Haram seizing villages By HARUNA UMAR Associated Press

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — Boko Haram militants are taking over villages in northeastern Nigeria, killing and terrorizing civilians and political leaders, witnesses say, as the Islamic fighters make a comeback from a year-long military offensive aimed at crushing them. Nigeria’s military has insisted that the big influx of troops and a year-old state of emergency in three states which gives them the power to detain suspects, take over buildings and lock down any area has the extremists on the run. But while Boko Haram has in large part been pushed out of cities in the northeast, they have been seizing villages with thatched-roof huts in the semiarid region where they once held sway, boldly staking their claim by hoisting their black flags with white Arabic lettering, and making large swaths of Nigeria nogo regions for the military. Nglamuda Ibrahim, a local government official, says the militants hoisted their flags in Ashigashiya, which borders Cameroon, several weeks ago without interference from the security forces. Muhammed Gavva, a member of one of the vigilante groups formed last year, named another dozen villages that also fell to Boko Haram, also close to the Cameroonian border, with no action taken by

‘They are in charge there. You cannot do anything on your own without their permission. Even if the villagers want to go and till their farmlands, they had to first contact them for permission.’ — Borno Gov. Kashim Shettima Nigerian security forces. He said one road to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state where the military joint task force has its headquarters, is so dangerous that even soldiers don’t dare to travel it. “We have long informed the military officials about this. They are aware but we don’t know what they are doing about that,” Gavva said. The seized villages are near Gwoza, a regional political center whose emir was killed in a Boko Haram ambush on his convoy last week. Emirs are religious and traditional rulers who have been targeted for speaking out against Boko Haram’s extremism. Borno Gov. Kashim Shettima traveled on Saturday to Gwoza to pay his respects to the fallen emir and was quoted as saying it was a terrifying ride. “If I say I was not petrified travelling through that ... road to Gwoza I would be lying because that road had been designated a no-go area for about two months now due to the incessant attacks and killings that occur there,” the governor was

quoted as saying by Information Nigeria, a web site. A local journalist who was in the convoy that was escorted by 150 soldiers counted at least 16 towns and villages that were deserted along the 135 kilometer (85 mile) route, according to the local media report. Shettima earlier told The Associated Press that he was having the accounts of Boko Haram seizing villages investigated and that he couldn’t confirm them. Gavva said the Islamic rebels exert iron control over the villages seized in Borno, one of the three states under the state of emergency declared by President Goodluck Jonathan which cover about one-sixth of the country. “They are in charge there. You cannot do anything on your own without their permission. Even if the villagers want to go and till their farmlands, they had to first contact them for permission,” said Gavva. The group doesn’t allow young men to leave their homes, he said. Civilians frustrated by the

military’s apparent inability to combat Boko Haram have formed vigilante groups like Gavva’s. They detain Boko Haram suspects and hand them over to the authorities. The move was supported and encouraged by the authorities. Hundreds of detainees have died in military custody, Amnesty International found in its investigations. Defense headquarters spokesman Chris Olukolade in the capital Abuja didn’t answer calls to his mobile phone and didn’t reply to an email seeking comment on the village takeovers. The joint task force officers in Maiduguri said they are not authorized to speak to the press. Since May, the extremists have waged a two-pronged offensive, widening their theater of operation beyond their home bases in the northeast with bombings in three cities that killed about 250 people while also carrying out near daily attacks on northeast villages, killing 20 people one day, 50 another. On April 15, they grabbed the world’s attention when they kidnapped more than 300 girls from a school from the town of Chibok, in Borno. Chibok community leader Pogu Bitrus says 57 girls escaped by themselves, leaving an estimated 272 still held captive. The Archbishop of Canterbury made an unexpected visit to Nigeria Wednesday, praying with the president and offering condolences for the abduction of the schoolgirls.

Western couple held in Afghanistan BY ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The family of a pregnant American woman who went missing in Afghanistan in late 2012 with her Canadian husband received two videos last year in which the couple asked the U.S. government to help free them and their child from Taliban captors, The Associated Press has learned. The videos offer the first and only clues about what happened to Caitlan Coleman and Joshua Boyle after they lost touch with their families 20 months ago while traveling in a mountainous region near the capital, Kabul. U.S. law enforcement officials investigating the couple’s disappearance consider the videos authentic but say they hold limited investigative value since it’s not clear when or where they were made. The video files, which

were provided to the AP, were emailed to Coleman’s father last July and September by an Afghan man who identified himself as having ties to the Taliban but who has been out of contact for several months. In one, a subdued Coleman — dressed in a conservative black garment that covers all but her face— appeals to “my president, Barack Obama” for help. “I would ask that my family and my government do everything that they can to bring my husband, child and I to safety and freedom,” the 28-year-old says in the other recording, talking into a wobbly camera while seated beside her husband, whose beard is long and untrimmed. Though Coleman mentions a child, no baby is shown in the videos. The families say they have no information about the name or gender of the child, who would be about 18 months

Suspect in Belgian Jewish museum killings was in Syria, tried to film shooting PARIS — A suspected French jihadist who spent time in Syria has been arrested over the shooting deaths of three people at a Belgian Jewish museum, prosecutors said Sunday, crystalizing fears that European radicals will parlay their experiences in Syria into terrorism back home. When Mehdi Nemmouche was arrested in southern France on Friday, he was in possession of firearms, a large quantity of ammunition and a video claiming responsibility for the May 24 attack at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, a Belgian prosecutor said. In a one-minute rampage that deeply shook Europe’s Jewish community, a gunman opened fire at the Brussels museum. In addition to the fatalities, another person was gravely wounded. Authorities raised anti-terror alert levels as they searched for the attacker. But it was ultimately a customs inspection in the French port city of Marseille that turned up Nemmouche, as he disembarked from a bus coming from Amsterdam, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said.

Cousteau’s grandson extends Conshelf II legacy with 31-day underwater mission ISLAMORADA, Fla. — Like viewers worldwide, Fabien Cousteau was entranced by his famous grandfather’s films about marine life and human exploration underwater. Now he’s adding to his family’s sea stories with a 31-day underwater expedition in the Florida Keys. Cousteau dove Sunday to Aquarius Reef Base, a school bussized laboratory 60 feet below the ocean’s surface, a few miles off Key Largo. He plans to spend more than a month living underwater with a five-person crew, making a documentary and leading science experiments on the nearby coral reef. Before their boat left an Islamorada dock Sunday morning, Cousteau and his crew said they would miss seeing the sun for more than month, but they weren’t nervous about being isolated in the undersea lab. “I imagine we’ll want to stay down once we get comfy down there,” Cousteau said. “We won’t want to come back up to the surface because it’s such a magical place.” — The Associated Press C

old. The families decided to make the videos public now, in light of the publicity surrounding the weekend rescue of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was freed from Taliban custody in exchange for the release of five high-level Taliban suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The families say they are disappointed that their children and grandchild were not freed as part of the same deal but are appealing for help from anyone who can give it, including the couple’s captors or the government. “It would be no more appropriate to have our government turn their backs on their citizens than to turn their backs on those who serve,” Patrick Boyle, a Canadian judge and the father of Joshua Boyle, said in a telephone interview. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf declined Wednesday to discuss specifics

of the case because of privacy considerations. Republicans in Congress have criticized the Bergdahl agreement and complained about not being consulted, though Obama has defended it, citing a “sacred” obligation to not leave men and women in uniform behind. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., asked Obama in a letter this week why other Americans still in the custody of Afghan militants were not included in the negotiation. The families say their children, though without political or military ties to the government, are prisoners just as Bergdahl was and should be recognized as “innocent tourists” and not penalized further for venturing into dangerous territory. “It’s an event that just stands out. I think it cries to out to the world, ‘This can’t be. These people must be let go immediately,” said James Coleman, Coleman’s father.

Israel doctors won’t force-feed Palestinians BY KARIN LAUB and MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Proposed legislation to permit the forcefeeding of Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike is pitting Israel’s government against much of the country’s medical community, including the main doctors’ association which contends the practice amounts to torture. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly asked to fast-track the bill as a hunger strike by dozens of Palestinian detainees entered its sixth week. At least 65 of 290 participating detainees have been hospitalized since the first group began a hunger strike on April 24. Many are administrative detainees, held for months or years without charges. There have been near-daily Palestinian demonstrations backing the prisoners, includ-

ing one in the West Bank on Wednesday in which dozens of university students threw stones at Israeli soldiers who responded with tear gas. Families of hunger strikers say they support the fast, despite the risks. “My husband is in Israeli jails without knowing why and when this nightmare is going to end,” Lamees Faraj said of her husband, Abdel Razeq, a member of a small, hard-line Palestine Liberation Organization faction who has been in administrative detention for nearly eight of the last 20 years. Faced with the second largescale Palestinian hunger strike in two years, Israel’s government is promoting a bill that would allow a judge to sanction force-feeding if an inmate’s life is perceived to be in danger. A judge must not only consider the prisoner’s wishes, but also possible damage to the state, said Yoel Hadar, a legal

‘My husband is in Israeli jails without knowing why and when this nightmare is going to end.’ — Lamees Faraj adviser in the Public Security Ministry, which initiated the bill. A death in custody could trigger prison riots or unrest in the Palestinian territories or elsewhere, he said. “We want the judge to take into consideration what will happen to the country if something happens,” Hadar said. There has been mounting opposition from Israel’s medical establishment, with the Israel Medical Association urging physicians not to cooperate. “It goes against the DNA of the doctors to force treatment on a patient,” spokeswoman Ziva Miral said. “Force-feeding is

torture, and we can’t have doctors participating in torture.” She noted that the World Medical Association, an umbrella for national medical associations, opposes the practice. The WMA said as recently as 2006 that “forcible feeding is never ethically acceptable.” Israel’s National Council of Bioethics has also weighed in, saying it opposes the proposed bill. Another group, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, contacted the World Medical Association last month, asking that it help stop the legislation. In a letter to the WMA, the Israeli group reiterated the ethi-

cal concerns raised by others and added that “the true motivation ... is to break the spirit and protests of the hunger strikers.” Despite such criticism, Netanyahu told his Cabinet this week he’ll make sure to find physicians who will participate in force-feeding, noting that forcefeeding is carried out at the U.S.run Guantanamo Bay detention camp for suspected militants, the Haaretz daily said. Netanyahu’s spokesman, Mark Regev, declined to comment on the report, but confirmed the government supports the bill. The U.S.-based Physicians for Human Rights said it is currently not aware of prisoners being force-fed anywhere except Guantanamo, but that it is often difficult to get access to prisons to verify their practices. There have, however, been past cases of force-feeding, including of prisoners from Germany’s radical leftist Red Army Faction in

the 1970s. Hadar said force-feeding would be a last resort. Hunger strikers would be represented in legal hearings and physicians would not be compelled to participate, he said. He said force-feeding is meant to save lives, while acknowledging other considerations at play. “People go on a hunger strike for political reasons ... and the consequence could be political damage to the state,” he said. “The state also has the right to stop the strike.” Qadoura Fares, an advocate for Palestinian prisoners, said Palestinians would seek international condemnation of Israel if the legislation is passed. Existing law prohibits the treatment of patients, including prisoners, against their will, with extreme cases referred to an ethics committee, said Amany Dayif of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel.

Syria’s Assad wins presidential vote in landslide BY ALBERT AJI Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria — Syrian President Bashar Assad has been re-elected in a landslide, officials said Wednesday, capturing another seven-year term in the middle of a bloody 3-yearold uprising against his rule that has devastated the country. Syria’s parliament speaker, Jihad Lahan, announced the final results from Tuesday’s election, saying Assad garnered 10,319,723 votes, or 88.7 percent. Assad’s two challengers, Hassan al-Nouri and Maher Hajjar, won 4.3 percent and 3.2 percent respectively. The Supreme Constitutional Court put turnout at 73.42 percent. Assad’s victory was always a foregone conclusion, despite the presence of other candidates on the ballot for the first time in decades. The opposition and its Western allies denounced the election as a farce, with U.S.

Secretary of State John Kerry calling it a “great big zero.” Damascus erupted into a thunderous, rolling clap of celebratory gunfire that appeared to include heavy weaponry after the results were announced. Thousands of Assad supporters flocked the streets to celebrate, some waving large Syrian flags and others carrying photos of Assad as car horns blared. Some men broke into the familiar pro-Assad chant: “With our souls, with our blood, we sacrifice for you, Bashar!” Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen television aired live footage from the government stronghold of Latakia and the war-ravaged city of Homs, which the government recaptured last month, showing crowds of people celebrating with flags and posters of Assad amid cries of “God, Syria, Bashar!” Fireworks lit up the night sky in Latakia. Voting was held only in government-controlled areas, ex-

cluding huge tracks of northern and eastern Syria that are in rebel hands. Tens of thousands of Syrians abroad voted last week, although many of the more than 2.7 million Syrian refugees across the region either abstained or were excluded by law. The vote provided no respite from the war. As people filed to the polls in Damascus on Tuesday, the rumble of government shelling and airstrikes on rebellious suburbs provided an ominous backdrop and sobering reminder that not all Syrians were able to cast their ballots. That did nothing to diminish the enthusiasm of Assad’s supporters, for whom the election victory provided a boost amid a war that has touched every family on both sides of the divide. The win also provides further evidence that the Syrian leader has no intention of relinquishing power, making a protracted conflict the likely outcome in fighting that has already lasted

three years and killed more than 160,000 people. Assad’s hold on power was not always so secure. Just over a year ago, his grip was slipping as vast swaths of the country fell to the surging rebels. But Assad’s troops — bolstered by allies Iran, Russia and the Lebanese Shiite militant Hezbollah — managed over the past year to turn the tide, and even wrest back some of the ground lost. For the first time in decades, there were multiple candidates on Syria’s presidential ballot. In previous elections, Assad, and before him his father, Hafez Assad, were elected in single-candidate referendums in which voters cast yes-no ballots. In Syria’s 2000 and 2007 elections, Assad garnered 99 and 97 percent yes votes respectively. The government has portrayed this vote as a democratic solution to Syria’s conflict, although there’s no indication

it will help bridge the differences of a bitterly divided nation. Syria’s rebels remain determined in their fight to oust Assad. Like him, they show no inclination to compromise. The war has left the international community deeply divided, with the U.S. and its allies backing the revolt against Assad, who enjoys the support of Russia and Iran. That division persisted in perceptions of Tuesday’s vote. In Beirut, Kerry sharply criticized the Syrian election, calling it “a great big zero.” It can’t be considered fair, he said, “because you can’t have an election where millions of your people don’t even have an ability to vote.” “Nothing has changed from the day before the election and the day after. Nothing,” Kerry said during a one-day visit Wednesday to the Lebanese capital. “The conflict is the same, the terror is the same, the

killing is the same.” The European Union joined the U.S. in condemning the election, saying in a statement that “it cannot be considered as a genuinely democratic vote.” In Damascus, meanwhile, a delegation led by the government’s chief international supporters said Syria’s first multicandidate presidential election in over four decades was transparent and free, and would pave the way for “stability and national agreement.” The delegation of officials from more than 30 countries, including legislators and dignitaries from Iran, Russia and Venezuela, toured polling stations on Tuesday. In a final statement read Wednesday by Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the head of the Iranian parliament’s Committee on National Security, the delegation blamed the U.S and its allies for “crimes committed against the Syrian people.”

Mourning, tight security on Tiananmen anniversary By GILLIAN WONG Associated Press

BEIJING — Yin Min held the ashes of her son and wept, she said, as she marked 25 years since he was killed in the crackdown by Chinese tanks and troops on protests at Tiananmen Square. Outside, guards kept a close eye on her home while police blanketed central Beijing to block any public commemoration of one of the darkest chapters in recent Chinese history. “How has the world become like this? I don’t even have one bit of power. Why must we be controlled so strictly this year?” Yin said in a telephone interview. “I looked at his ashes, I looked at his old things, and I cried bitterly.” China allows no public discussion of the events of June 3-4, 1989, when soldiers backed by tanks and armored personnel carriers fought their way into the heart of Beijing, killing hundreds, possibly thousands, of unarmed protesters and onlookers. On Wednesday, scores of police and paramilitary troops patrolled the vast plaza and surrounding streets in Beijing’s heart, stopping vehicles and demanding identification from passers-by. Chinese censors scrubbed domestic blogs and social media websites of comments marking the crackdown. The silence in the mainland about the anniversary of a pivotal event that shocked the world contrasted with boisterous commemorations in Hong Kong. Large crowds gathered Wednesday night in the city’s Victoria Park for an annual candlelight vigil to remember

the Tiananmen victims, holding candles aloft that turned the vast area into a sea of flickering light. Activists laid a wreath at a makeshift memorial as the names and biographical details of people killed in the crackdown were read out. Organizers said more than 180,000 people took part, with many overflowing into the streets around the park’s main entrance. Elsewhere, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged China to release those jailed in connection with the events. “For all people who seek freedom, Tiananmen Square still stirs our conscience,” he said in a statement. Some relatives of the crackdown’s victims in Beijing were allowed to pay their respects at cemeteries — but only with police escorts. Others did so at home under surveillance, expressing frustration at the restrictions placed on their remembrances. “I told my son this morning, ‘Your mother is powerless and helpless, after more than 20 years I don’t even have the chance to appeal for support,’” said Yin, whose 19-year-old son, Ye Weihang, was killed in the crackdown. Police have kept a round-the-clock surveillance of her home since April, she said, and the relatives’ hopes of gathering and holding a public commemoration were dashed. “You’re not only re-opening my scars, you’re spreading salt and chili powder into them,” Yin said she told her minders. The Chinese government has largely ignored the relatives’ demands for an admission of wrongdoing and for a complete, formal accounting of the crackdown and the number

of casualties. Beijing’s verdict is that the student-led protests aimed to topple the ruling Communist Party and plunge China into chaos. Protest leaders said they were seeking broader democracy and freedom, along with an end to corruption and favoritism within the party. Near the square in Beijing, reporters were told to leave following the daily crack-of-dawn flagraising ceremony and there were no signs of demonstrations or public commemorations. Dozens of dissidents and other critics have already been detained by police, held under house arrest or sent out of the city in what they say is a more restrictive clampdown than usual reflecting the increasingly conservative political atmosphere under President Xi Jinping. On normal days, the vast plaza is closely watched by surveillance cameras and plain-

NRA rolls back ‘open carry’ criticism; mistake C

HOUSTON (AP) — The National Rifle Association has rolled back an earlier statement criticizing “open carry” rallies in Texas in which gun rights advocates have brought militarystyle assault rifles into public places. Chris Cox, the executive director of the group’s lobbying arm, said in an interview Tuesday on an NRA-hosted radio show that the statement was “a mistake” and that it was written by a staffer who was expressing his personal opinion. “The truth is, an alert went out that referred to this type of behavior as ‘weird’ or somehow not normal, and that was a mistake. It shouldn’t have happened,” said Cox, who added that the group “unequivocally” supports open carry laws. The open carry rallies in restaurants and other businesses — part of a push for less restrictive gun laws, including legalizing the open carry of handguns — have prompted public criticism, and the NRA appeared to join in last week. The statement appeared on the website of the group’s lobbying arm, the Institute for Legislative Action, saying that the demonstrations were counterproductive, scary and “downright weird.” “Using guns merely to draw attention to yourself in public not only defies common sense, it shows a lack of consideration and manners. That’s not the Texas way. And that’s certainly not the NRA way,” the unsigned statement said. It remained on the NRA’s website early Wednesday. Open Carry Texas, one of the groups behind the recent demonstrations, had said if the NRA didn’t retract the statement, Open Carry would withdraw its full support for the NRA. Tov Henderson, an Open Carry member, told WFAA-TV in Dallas that the group’s clarification was refreshing. “Getting the clarification from them that it wasn’t an official stance and that it was just a low-level employee ... it makes sense,” Henderson said. Texas has some of the least restrictive gun laws in the country, but openly carrying handguns remains illegal. Long guns like rifles can be carried openly but must be done so in a way that does not cause alarm. But gun holders

can be charged with disorderly conduct if anyone around them feels threatened. The open carry demonstrations, while peaceful, have upset some witnesses. The Chipotle restaurant

chain asked customers last month not to bring firearms into its stores after members of Open Carry Texas brought military-style assault rifles into one of its restaurants in the Dallas area.

clothes police and officers riding Segways, but most people are allowed to enter without having their IDs checked. Wednesday’s measures, including the deployment of hundreds of security and emergency services personnel, were a dramatic tightening.

Authorities allowed about a dozen relatives of four people killed in the crackdown to pay their respects at a cemetery in Beijing, but they were under police escort and were watched by several dozen plainclothes officers, according to Zhang Xianling, a member of a group that campaigns for the crackdown’s victims. The relatives laid flowers and bowed three times as is customary in Chinese mourning, Zhang said, and one of them read from a prepared text. “A quarter of a century has passed since the June 4, 1989, massacre. In these endless 25 years, not a moment has gone by that we didn’t miss you,” said the text, provided by Zhang to the AP. “Our tears have run dry, our voices are already hoarse,” it said. “Our temples have grayed, our gaits are already faltering. With the passage of time, we will bury our sorrow deep in our hearts and strengthen our faith and determination to pursue justice.” Activist lawyer Teng Biao said the government’s repres-

sion only betrayed its frailty and fear of dissent. “Although the government appears stronger, they are more fearful, less confident and have less sense of security,” Teng said from Hong Kong, where he is a visiting scholar at the city’s Chinese University. Foreign media in Beijing have been warned not to meet with dissidents or report on issues related to the anniversary. In an unusual burst of activity, the Foreign Ministry and Cabinet office held news conferences and called in Associated Press reporters for meetings Wednesday. In Hong Kong, the Tiananmen protests remain a totem for political expression and Western-style civil liberties in the former British colony that retained its own liberal social and legal systems after reverting to Chinese rule in 1997. “The reason that I’ve come here is that I want to see the sunshine of freedom,” said Rany Cao, a 30-year-old mainland Chinese electronics importer based in Hong Kong who joined the Wednesday night vigil.

US needs to break ‘glass ceiling’ BY KEN THOMAS Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton says she knows she has a decision to make about running to become the first female president, and believes “we need to break down that highest, hardest glass ceiling in American politics.” The former secretary of state tells People Magazine that she wants to enjoy the moment — she’s about to become a grandmother — as she considers “what I think is right for me.” But she says many Americans think the nation has “unfinished business” in sending the first woman to the White House. “I’m certainly in the camp that says we need to break down that highest, hardest glass ceiling in American politics,” the former first lady said. “To have a woman president is something I would love to see happen, but I’ll just have to make my own decision about what I think is right for me.” The interview was posted a few days before the release of Clinton’s new book on her four years as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state. She tells People Magazine that she remains “concerned about what I see happen-

ing in the country and the world.” She says she will consider her future in the coming months, with “the extra joy of ‘I’m about to become a grandmother.’” In the interview, she described a life partially removed from politics after spending the past two decades in the public eye. She and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, “totally binge-watched” the Netflix political show “House of Cards” and she has done water aerobics and yoga in her spare time. Clinton said she did not make time to read the recent essay written by former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, saying she had “moved on.” Asked if she regretted calling Lewinsky a “narcissistic loony toon,” Clinton said she was unwilling to talk about the scandal that nearly brought down her husband’s presidency. “I’m not going to comment on what did and didn’t happen. I think everybody needs to look to the future,” Clinton said. Mrs. Clinton said her husband’s health has been good. “He’s had that tremor for years — it’s nothing serious, just some sort of nerve pinch. People say that he’s too thin. He doesn’t think so, and he has an enormous amount of energy.”

Baseball icon Zimmer passes away at 83 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Don Zimmer wasn’t a fixture in baseball forever. It just seemed that way. He played alongside Jackie Robinson on the only Brooklyn Dodgers team to win the World Series. He coached Derek Jeter on the New York Yankees’ latest dynasty. And his manager once was the illustrious Casey Stengel. For 66 years, Zimmer was a most popular presence at ballparks all over, a huge chaw often filling his cheek. Everyone in the game seemed to know him, and love him. Zimmer was still working for the Tampa Bay Rays as a senior adviser when he died Wednesday at a hospital in nearby Dunedin. He had been in a rehabilitation center since having seven hours of heart surgery in midApril. “Today we all lost a national treasure and a wonderful man,” Rays prin-

cipal owner Stuart Sternberg said in a statement. Zimmer started out as a minor league infielder in 1949, hitting powerful shots that earned him the nickname “Popeye.” He went on to enjoy one of the longest-lasting careers in baseball history. And oh, the stories he could tell. “I loved listening to him every day,” Billy Connors, a coach under Zimmer with the Chicago Cubs, told The Associated Press. Zimmer played on the original New York Mets, saw his Boston Red Sox beaten by Bucky Dent’s playoff homer, got tossed to the ground by Pedro Martinez during a brawl and was Joe Torre’s right-hand man as the bench coach with the Yankees. “I hired him as a coach, and he became like a family member to me. He has certainly been a terrific credit to the game,” Torre said in a statement.

“The game was his life. And his passing is going to create a void in my life and my wife Ali’s. We loved him. The game of baseball lost a special person tonight. He was a good man,” he said. A career .235 hitter in the big leagues, numbers could never define all that Zimmer meant to the game. He did have tremendous success, too — his teams won six World Series rings and went to the postseason 19 times. Zimmer’s No. 66 Rays jersey had been worn recently by longtime Tampa Bay third base coach Tom Foley in tribute. The Rays hosted the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night, and Foley was crying in the dugout. Earlier this season, the Rays hung a banner in the front of the press box at Tropicana Field that simply read “ZIM.” There was a moment of silence

at Dodger Stadium for Zimmer before Los Angeles played the Chicago White Sox. “On behalf of Major League Baseball and the many clubs that ‘Popeye’ served in a distinguished baseball life, I extend my deepest condolences to Don’s family, friends and his many admirers throughout our game,” Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. Zimmer’s biggest admirer was his wife “Soot” — they were married at home plate during a minor league game in 1951. Two years later in the minors, Zimmer’s path took a frightening turn — he was beaned by a fastball and left in a coma, and doctors had to put metal screws in his head. He recovered well enough to wear a lot of uniforms during his 56 years in the majors. He played for the Dodgers, Mets, Cubs, Cincinnati and Washington. He managed San Diego, Boston,

Texas and the Cubs. “Probably the best baseball man I knew,” Connors said. Yankees executive Hank Steinbrenner echoed that sentiment. “I loved Zim. I loved his passion. He was a great, great guy. He was a great baseball guy,” he told the AP. “Everybody loved him.” Steinbrenner, son of late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, said Torre and Zimmer were the “perfect team” during New York’s run that brought four titles in a five-year span. “Joe was low-keyed. Zim would get fired up. He was a bench coach for real,” Steinbrenner said. “He was an extremely important part of the 1990s success.” Zimmer hit 91 home runs and had 352 RBIs in 12 seasons. He started Game 7 when Brooklyn beat the Yankees for the 1955 crown and was an All-Star in 1961.

Blue Jays take Kings take game 1 in OT care of Tigers “Mr. Game 7” strikes early in overtime to give Los Angeles series lead

DETROIT (AP) — Adam Lind doubled twice to drive in three runs and Melky Cabrera added a homer and three hits, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays to an 8-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night. Lind’s two-run double off Rick Porcello (8-3) in the sixth put Toronto ahead 3-2, and Aaron Loup got out of a basesloaded, none-out jam in the bottom of the inning in relief of R.A. Dickey (6-4).

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Just over 15 minutes into the Stanley Cup finals, the Los Angeles Kings had fallen into yet another two-goal hole against the speedy New York Rangers. Justin Williams knows Los Angeles should stay out of these jams. After Williams scored his latest winning goal, he also had to acknowledge the comeback Kings can handle just about any perilous situation. Williams scored 4:36 into overtime after a turnover by Dan Girardi, and Los Angeles beat New York 3-2 on Wednesday night in the Stanley Cup finals opener. Kyle Clifford had a goal and an assist for Los Angeles, and Drew Doughty made up for an early mistake by scoring the tying goal in the second period as the Kings came charging back from yet another early deficit in a postseason full of comebacks. Jonathan Quick made 25 saves as the Kings moved one victory closer to their second Stanley Cup title in three years. “It certainly helps that we’ve done it time and time again,” said Williams, the repeat postseason hero dubbed Mr. Game 7 for his knack for series-deciding goals. “It’s a great result of the hockey game for us, definitely, but we have a lot of things to clean up. Certainly not our best game by any standards, especially ours, but we were able to get it done. That’s the most important thing.” Game 2 is Saturday at Staples Center. Williams’ goal came on likely the Kings’ cleanest scoring chance of the night. Left alone in the slot after Girardi’s pass from his knees went straight to Mike Richards, Williams put his eighth goal of the postseason past Henrik Lundqvist, who made 40 saves and nearly stole an early win for the Rangers. “There’s a handful of guys who raise their game this time of year,” Kings defenseman Willie Mitchell said of Williams. “He’s one of them, and we’re lucky to have him. ... I want him to be Mr. Game 1, 2, 3 and 4. We need four wins.” Los Angeles outshot New York 20-3 in the third period, becoming the first team to get 20 shots in a finals period in 16 years. The Kings also got a power play with 1:36 left, setting up a wild finish to regulation. Moments after Carl Hagelin was denied by Quick on a short-handed breakaway, Jeff Carter was stopped agonizingly short of a wraparound goal by Lundqvist, sending the Kings to their third straight overtime playoff game.

New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, of Sweden, top, and Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar, of Slovenia, the watches puck flip up in the during the third period in Game 1 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Finals, Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Benoit Pouliot scored on a breakaway and Hagelin got a short-handed goal in the first period, but the Rangers spent much of the final two periods on their heels. “Not quite sure what happened there in the third,” Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. “Not sure if it was them being that good, or us stopping moving the puck and skating and going north-south. They definitely took it to us in the third, and they were able to get a bounce on the winning goal and put it in the back of the net.” The tension-filled opener was a fitting start to the finals for two teams that traversed perilous paths to the first New York-L.A. championship playoff meeting since the Yankees-Dodgers World Series in 1981. The Kings and the Rangers played

a combined 41 games in the first three rounds — just one fewer than the maximum — to emerge from the middle of the playoff pack. Los Angeles didn’t blame fatigue for its slow finals start after finishing off Chicago on Sunday. “There was a lot of talk about that, but they only played one more game than us,” Lundqvist said. “You had to expect them to come out hard. At this time of the year, you’re not tired. You’re excited to be out there playing. We were looking to get the first win here, but we’ll try it again in the next one.” The series is big news in the nation’s two biggest cities: Staples Center was packed for the opener with roaring Kings fans still not quite accustomed to their club’s recent success.

PARIS (AP) — Briefly, and only briefly, Rafael Nadal was in a difficult spot in the French Open quarterfinals. For the first time in this year’s tournament, the eighttime champion dropped a set. And this had to be on Nadal’s mind: His opponent, David Ferrer, could present real problems. Not only is Ferrer ranked No. 5, and not only was he the runner-up at Roland Garros a year ago — to Nadal, of course — but he also beat Nadal on red clay the last time they played each other. So how did Nadal handle this test? Perfectly. From late in the second set, he won 10 games in a row, and 13 of 14 the rest of the way, to come back and beat Ferrer 4-6, 6-4, 6-0, 6-1, setting up a semifinal Friday against Wimbledon champion Andy Murray. “At the beginning,” Nadal acknowledged, “David was playing with a higher intensity than me.” But once Nadal made a key adjustment — deciding to dispense with his surprisingly off-target backhand as much as

possible and instead do whatever he could to use his topspin-heavy forehand — he took over. After committing 28 unforced errors across the windy first two sets, Nadal had zero in the third, and only three in the last. “When I was able to hit with my forehand,” Nadal said, “I felt that I was in control.” Ferrer, for his part, said that in the latter stages, “I lost my concentration, my focus.” It was Nadal’s 33rd consecutive win at the French Open and improved his record in the event to 64-1. His only loss at the tournament came to Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009. The Spaniard, who turned 28 on Tuesday, is not used to facing much in the way of hardship at Roland Garros. So Nadal took what he was able to do against Ferrer as a good sign. “At the end of the day, I am rather happy to have been able to turn the situation around,” said Nadal, who wasn’t thrilled to be put on Court Suzanne Lenglen, the second-largest arena, for the second time this year. “I managed to pull through, even though it was complicated.”

On the hunt for halibut As the calm and unseasonably warm weather continues in the Cook Inlet, many anglers are looking to the sea to start their fishing seasons. Charter boat operators, tackle shop employees and biologists from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said the halibut fishing season is gaining momentum and, while catch data shows an average size of about 13 pounds per fish — there are monsters to be had. Just last week a client with a charter captain from John Baker’s Afishunt Charters in Ninilchik landed a 235 pound behemoth which Baker estimated to be at just under 7 feet long. Landing fish of that size is hardly the norm for this time of year, Baker said, anglers are far more likely to catch something within the current average size range which Fish and Game data shows to be between 5.3 and 54.4 pounds. “Photos of go viral on Facebook and people tell other people and it becomes very well known,” he said. “Of course, what doesn’t get broadcast is the dozens of people that end up with smaller, average catches.” Several charters operators said they had been taking clients since the begin-

ning of May and the fishing has been fair. Cherise Hyslip, owner of Big Bear Halibut charters, said trips are filling up fast and the season promises to be a busy one. “We had some customers this last week that came all the way from the East Coast and they have $4,000 — in East Coast worth — of fish to take home,” Hyslip said. The 11-year veteran of the Homer charter-fishing business, said she expected fishing to pick up exponentially as the season wore on. “It’s anwhere from 20-80 pounds this time of year and as the summer goes on you start seeing the 100-pounders come in and it increases all the way through July when 100-pounders become regular catches,” she said. Successful fishing for halibut will likely improve as the fish move from deep, over-wintering waters back to shallower waters for the summer, according to Fish and Game fishing reports. Smaller tides coming in the next week should be favorable for halibut fishermen, said Barbi Failor, Fish and Game fisheries biologist. “It’s hard to keep your bait on the

Changes in 2014 halibut fishing regulations for the Cook Inlet

Captains and crew are no longer allowed to fish for halibut while customers are on the boat. Charter boat operators may now only make one trip a day rather than two — so many raised their prices to compensate for the loss in fishing time. While a private angler may retain two halibut of any size per trip — those on a charter trip may only keep one of any size, the other must be smaller than 29 inches.

bottom when the tides are stronger,” she said. Mike Scruggs, employee of the Sports Shed bait and tackle shop in Homer said his shop has been busy selling halibut bait and tackle this season. Anglers are primarily using herring, but the shop also sells octopus and fishers can also use sport-caught cod as bait. Most people fish for halibut with circle hooks, but some people still use J-hooks, Scruggs said. Using herring and cod together can be a good way to land a halibut, Baker said. “They’re complementary,” he said. “The success of the herring is dependent upon its oil and therefore the smell, the scent trail that gets out for the halibut to hone in,” he said. But, he said, the oily texture of herring causes it to slip off of the hook easier. “We put herring with a small piece of cod. Cod is the antithesis of herring, it doesn’t have that much oil, but the skin is extremely tough and therefore it stays on the hook.” While there have been a few windy weekends, Baker said, the weather has been pleasant enough that clients have been fishing in shorts and t-shirts on the normally chilly Cook Inlet. “Last year, there was still snow on the ground on Memorial Day and people were kind of grumpy,” Baker said. He said anglers interested in a charter trip should book early as changes in regulation have caused many businesses to raise their prices as the season gets busier.

Kenai sockeye and lakes the best options By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Kings Fishing this week is still slow for king salmon on the Kasilof river, assistant management biologist with the Department of Fish and Game Jason Pawluk said. According to Kasilof river logbook reports, many of the caught king salmon are being released, which suggests most catches are naturally produced, not hatchery kings, Pawluk said. However, the numbers near the sonar site on the mouth of the Kenai river show a slight increase in numbers coming through. “It is an increase when we should have one,” Pawluk said. “The numbers are still not anywhere near (where) they need to be.” Fishing for king salmon on

the Kenai river is closed until June 30. Hatchery king salmon can be fished on the Kasilof river, but no more than one can be kept per day. Their missing adipose fin distinguishes hatchery salmon. A healed scar will be in its place. The annual limit for king salmon in the Cook Inlet is five if they are larger than 20-inches. No treble hooks, baiting or scents are allowed. Only single hooks can be used to fish with. For better success, try fishing in the early morning and at the mouth of these streams on the incoming tide. Important Regulations Changes to the king salmon regulations on the lower Kenai Peninsula streams are in effect through June 30. n Crooked Creek is closed to all fishing through July 31. n The combined annual limit of king salmon 20-inches

or greater in length has been reduced to two from May 1-June 30 in the Anchor River, Deep Creek, Ninilchik River and all marine waters south of the mouth of the Ninilchik River down to Bluff Point. n After harvesting a king salmon 20 inches or greater from either the Anchor River, Deep Creek, or the Ninilchik river, anglers must stop fishing in those streams for the rest of the day. n Anglers may only use one un-baited, single-hook with an artificial lure on the Anchor River, Deep Creek and Ninilchik River. n The Ninilchik River king salmon bag and possession limit is one wild or hatcheryreared fish during regular weekend openings in May and June but beginning July 1, it is reduced to one hatchery-reared king salmon.

Fishing for sockeye salmon between Skilak Lake and the mouth of the Kenai river will likely yield some success for anglers, Pawluk said. Catching sockeye salmon has been common this last week, due to the early runs coming in, Pawluk said.

Trout Successful fishing for resident species should be picking up soon, Pawluk said. Spawning is almost over for dolly varden and rainbow trout. Fishing for rainbow and dolly varden trout on the Kenai River between the mouth of the river and Torpedo Hole is illegal until June 11. There is a one-bag limit per day and the fish has to be smaller than 18 inches.

Stocked Lakes Hooligan fishing will be

Sockeye

peaking this week, Pawluk said. The most successful fishing at this point in the season will take place on the 27 lakes Fish and Game stocks with fish, Pawluk said. Trout can be taken on dry or wet flies with small spoons, spinners or bait. A few lake areas have northern pike. Pike can be taken using spears, bow and arrow (with arrow attached by a line), bait, spin, and fly-fishing gear. Try fish-shaped and fishcolored lures and flies. There is no closed season for pike and the bag limit is unlimited. The numbers, kinds and locations of where to fish can be found at dfg.alaska.gov, or free packets are available in the office on Kalifornsky Beach Road.

A quick glance into the unmarked building behind Subway on Kalifornsky Beach Road reveals a suspended construction project camouflaging a cavernous adjoining room filled with half-finished backdrops, racks of plastic covered costumes and piles of miscellaneous props. A group of the Kenai Performers is currently practicing in the disarrayed space for a dinner theatre style performance of Ken Ludwig’s play “Leading Ladies.” On the opposite side of the room the play’s director Terri Zopf-Schoessler sits on a metal foldout chair facing an ornately designed burgundy couch, a red armchair and floral carpet, acting as the rehearsal set.

signment, said “Leading Ladies” producer Mary Krull. The Kenai Performers have a history of transience. But over their 40 year run, it has occasionally been out of necessity. Mary Krull found the space the Kenai Performers are currently practicing in, and ventu-

ally hope to turn it into a theatre with abou 100 seats, she said. Zopf-Schoessler said her handpicked cast is fiercely dedicated to the show. Rehearsals began two months before opening night, catered by Kenai Catering, Saturday, June 6, at the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska.

Played by two self-proclaimed giants, Daniel Rozak and Jacob Coreson, fictional friends Leo Clark and Jack Gable hatch a plan to pose as the relatives of an ailing stranger named Florence, and try to get in on her inheritance. Once the pair realizes they must play the part of two women in order to hace a chance at the old woman’s money, Clark and Gable decide to continue on with the ruse. Both Coreson and Rozak are over 6-feet tall and finding high heels that fit was a task Zopf-Schoessler said. Costume designer Chris Cook was able to find a pair of men’s size 16 pumps on a drag queen website online. “They’d jump of a cliff if we asked them,” Zopf-Schoessler said of her cast’s willingness to play the roles.

ou just got bit. And bitten again. Every time you go outside, it’s like you’re a walking feast for a zillion biting, whining, creepy-crawling bugs intent on making you dinner. Where the heck did all these insects come from? Read “Nature’s Nether Regions” by Menno Schilthuizen, and find out. Literally. Birds do it, said Cole Porter. Bees do it. Even educated fleas do it. How they do it is the focus of a “new branch of biology” that explains why the sex lives of our fellow creatures - whether they crawl, run, or fly - rival anything you’ve ever seen on reality TV. But first: why have sex at all? Biologists are “still puzzled” about that, but they think mixing DNA has something to do

with “outsmarting parasites” and ridding future generations of problematic mutations. And why just two basic genders, male and female? That still “beg[s] for an explanation,” though some creatures dispense of the whole male-female thing altogether, and reproduce through cloning. For them, it’s more efficient. Other critters get species-specific, when it comes to reproduction. The size and unique shape of a sex organ, which “is the only reliable indicator of a species,” may have evolved to keep, for instance, one kind of bumblebee from mating accidentally with another kind of bumblebee. Then again, some aquatic creatures don’t even bother with using their organs for mating: they cast sperm and eggs, willy-nilly, in the water and hope that their DNA meets someone special.

Sherlock Holmes is focus of London museum show By JILL LAWLESS Associated Press

LONDON — The Museum of London is turning its magnifying glass on the most famous Londoner who never lived — Sherlock Holmes. The museum on Tuesday announced an exhibition devoted to Arthur Conan Doyle’s Victorian detective, featuring everything from hand-written manuscripts to the coat worn by Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC series “Sherlock.” It’s the first time the history museum has built a show around a fictional character. But Holmes is one of those rare

a passionate scientist, author Menno Schilthuizen takes a peek inside the bedrooms of beetles, bats, and bonobos. Here, we learn squirmy things about slimy creatures, nasty things about critters that once seemed cute, and we’re privy to the (sometimes) life-anddeath struggle to pass along DNA. Along the way (and though his writing can get hard-core sciency), Schilthuizen does a fine job at entertaining while teaching – so much so that readers who’ve finished this book could surely be forgiven for becoming armchair entomologists. This book proves that the old slap-and-tickle is much more interesting than slapping a bug dead. It truly shares more about the birds and the bees than you ever thought possible – and if that sounds like fun to you, then “Nature’s Nether Regions” is a book of which you’ll love every bit.

But monkeying around isn’t always so bucolic. Certain species of female ducks have evolved with specialized organs that keep them from being raped. Some insects and fish pierce the bodies of their amours to mate, and spider males and mantises famously don’t fare well at all when it comes to romance. Read this book and you’ll see why eating not-quite-cooked squid is dicey. You’ll find out how your pollen allergies are worse than you ever imagined. You’ll learn how “female preferences” drive evolution. Oh, and size? It matters in the animal kingdom, but not like you think… Well, now. Here’s something you probably have never seriously pondered: the sex lives of bugs. But you will, once The Bookworm is Terri you read “Nature’s Nether Regions.” Schlichenmeyer.

ter through the BBC’s “playful and reverential” adaptation, the timing seemed right for a major retrospective. “This is the moment to say: He is one of London’s icons. He helped make London what it is,” Werner said. The exhibition — which opens Oct. 17 and runs to April 12 — examines the character’s origins, in a series of stories by doctor-turned-writer Conan Doyle, and his evolution through myriad stage and screen adaptations. Werner said the aim was to “peel back the layers” of a character who is simultaneously cerebral sleuth, forensic scientist, drug-taking bohemian and archetypal Englishman. The show draws liberally from the museum’s large collection of Victorian costumes and artifacts, including a 19thcentury syringe; Holmes infamously relieved boredom with a seven-percent solution of cocaine in water. The Free Library of Philadelphia has loaned pages from Edgar Allan Poe’s handwritten manuscript for the 1841 story “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.” It’s often considered the first modern detective yarn and was a childhood favorite of Conan Doyle. There’s also an oil portrait of Conan Doyle, painted in 1897 by Sidney Paget, whose illustrations for the original stories in Strand magazine created the

weren’t quite so angry? That kind of thing. These literary devices allow the reader to revisit a well-worn tale or character, and see it anew, this time fuller and more fleshed out as a result of having traveled down a new path. One of the best examples of this, and surely one of the major influences on this week’s “Sleeping Beauty-esque” film, “Maleficent,” is “Wicked,” the novel by Gregory Maguire that tells the tale of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and all the trials and tribulations she endured before the events of “The Wizard of Oz.” It’s fun, pretty dark, and razor sharp. I haven’t seen the musical, but from the look of it, it’s a completely different animal. The novel’s central premise is a kind of “sympathy for the devil,” a conceit shared with “Maleficent,” wherein the character who was originally the villain is now the hero. This may disturb some people, even annoy them to their core, but for me, as I said, it’s a heck of a lot of fun. “Maleficent” begins some thirty or forty years before the events of “Sleeping Beauty.” A magical land called “the Moors,” teeming with fairies, boggins, gnomes, a walking trees, sits just adjacent to a neighboring kingdom of men. Naturally, the men don’t look too kindly toward their magical brethren, and before long a war breaks out. Maleficent, strongest of the fairies, full-size with huge feathered wings, craves peace, but will not allow the armies of men to cross her borders. Well, all but one, as it turns out. From her adolescence, Maleficent has harbored a secret friendship with a peasant boy named Stefan. The friendship gradually grew into something more, but the boy’s ambition and hunger for power lead him to leave Maleficent, breaking our fragile fairy’s heart in the process. And C

lean, hawkish Holmes of popular imagination. Pat Hardy, the museum’s curator of paintings, prints and drawings, noted that the solid, moustache-sporting Conan Doyle looks distinctly Dr. Watson-ish. And no modern Sherlock show would be complete without the flowing Belstaff overcoat worn by Cumberbatch in

“Sherlock” — a garment that’s something of a style icon in itself. The artifacts will be set alongside paintings, prints and photographs of late 19thcentury London, including the evocative but little-known illustrations of American artist Joseph Pennell, on loan from the Library of Congress. The

images — like the stories — evoke a vast, polluted metropolis of foggy streets and horse-drawn hansom cabs, bustling crowds and screams in the night. Hardy said the exhibition hoped to underline “the importance of London to the stories. It seems to have been taken for granted.”

They have excellent comic timing and are willing to tango in heels, she said. Alyeska Krull, playing the role of Audrey, said ZopfSchoessler has a great eye for directing, having a very meticulous personal style. For Alyeska Krull, it is her first time performing in a play with some risqué themes, such as cross-dressing. Robert Peterson said the

play, however, is still PG-rated. It also brings up other interesting social themes, such as greed, which drives the two friends to go after an inheritance that is not their own. Through out the rehearsal on May 28, Elan Krull, playing the role of Florence, practices letting out a shrill squirrely squeal, of a batty old woman, cracking up the previously stoic faces of her fellow

performers. Peterson said the biggest challenge of his performance responding to his cast-mates lines with a straight face. Leading Ladies is playing June 7, 13-14, and 20-21 at 7 p.m. at the Challenger Learning Center.

that’s not the worst of it. After a final, heartbreaking and, frankly, disturbing betrayal, Stefan manages to seize the throne of his kingdom, marrying the old king’s daughter and siring a daughter of his own. In an effort to soothe understandably sticky relations between the Moors and Stefan’s kingdom, three fairies (you’ll recognize them from the 1959 animated version) agree to come and gift the new child, Princess Aurora, with magical blessings. There’s another fairy, however, who also wants to bless the child. You probably know the rest. Pricking the finger on a spinning wheel, endless sleep, true love’s kiss, yada yada yada. Naturally, it doesn’t all turn out quite like you remember it. I enjoyed “Maleficent” a lot more than I thought I would, though it definitely has some problems. The trailers made it look either overly dark or overly goofy, but I’m pleased to say that the tone was nicely

in the middle. In fact, the look of the film was very nice, from the effects, to the costumes, to Angelina Jolie’s exquisitely crafted cheekbones. It was interesting how much of the original animated version was drawn upon for the film’s style. Maleficent herself looked great, but that could also be partly because Angelina Jolie has a kind of alien beauty about her. The three aforementioned fairies are obviously patterned after their animated counterparts, but here, instead of being sweet and quirky, the three are simply nitwits. I also liked the story, although, in this post-”Frozen” age, it’s pretty obvious how the whole thing’s going to turn out. One of the weak links was the dialogue, which is somewhat stilted and dull, though does retain the somewhat stodgy sense of old fairy tales. At least no one ever deigned to call our hero “Mal.” There are script problems, too. I know Stefan’s character, as a boy, is turned to

the dark side, so to speak, but only because the voice-over narration tells us so. His character’s path is more like an acute triangle than an arc. This is not the case with Maleficent, however, who is well written, as well as well acted by Jolie. She’s, naturally, the star of her own movie, and she definitely carries it. Unlike the manic “Alice & Wonderland” or the grating “Oz the Great and Powerful,” this modern retelling strikes a nice balance, taking itself just seriously enough without overdoing it, putting the audience to sleep in the process. Grade: B+ “Maleficent” is rated PG for fantasy movie scares and violence. It’s pretty tame, but parents may want to think twice about bringing the very small ones.

cheering you on, despite what you might think. Give up a newfound level of fussiness, and open up to a loved one. Consider the possibility of a long-term trip with a fun orientation. Tonight: Think about your weekend plans. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might find that taking the lead could entail far more responsibility than you had originally thought. Loosen up, and stay on top of a project. Others might be withholding what they know. Make it a point to open up when others reveal some information. Tonight: Till the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could have difficulty letting go of a problem. You might feel as if you have to shake a friend or loved one just to get him or her to listen to you. It is possible that this person is not as relaxed as you originally believed. Remain sensitive. Tonight: A must appearance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to move forward. Get someone’s support by sharing your thoughts and by incorporating some of his or her feedback. Optimism seems to surround a personal issue. As a result, you will be able to infuse those around you with energy and conviction. Tonight: Be a duo. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to open up a discussion about a key decision. The more feedback you get, the stronger you will become. You also will make a better decision. Someone you keep reaching out to seems to be unavailable. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s wishes.

Carbon monoxide’s sneak attack Dear Heloise: I really appreciated your column in the Orange County (Calif.) Register on carbon monoxide. I had carbon-monoxide poisoning in 2013, after being sick for one and a half to two years, with symptoms coming and going. I had seen 35 doctors in one year and gone to the emergency room so many times that I couldn’t keep count. I was told I had anxiety and that was why my heart was racing out of nowhere. I finally tried alternative medicine, and I was told that I had too much gas in my body. This convinced me that I was being poisoned by something in the air, but I couldn’t figure it out. I finally bought a carbon-monoxide detector and tied it around me. It went off in my car! I had an exhaust leak from a broken bolt in my high-end SUV, which caused the detector to go off like crazy! I made one final trip to the emergency room because I was so dizzy and thin. I asked them to do a bloodgas test (that was never done on me), which came back positive for carbonmonoxide poisoning! I think the message needs to be out there that carbon-monoxide poisoning is very real, and it can be in your home or even your car (I am now in a new car). — Suzanne L. in California What an extreme case, but worth sharing with others! So glad you are now doing well and were able to figure this out! — Heloise Ointment on Dear Heloise: If you put ointment on a bandage pad, rather than directly on the wound, it’s less likely to smear onto surrounding areas, which keeps the bandage from adhering well. — D.F., via email

front. A partner, family member or roommate could become demanding, or a problem involving your home might become more obvious. Don’t expect to accomplish a lot with this issue looming over you. Tonight: Paint the town red. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Listen to news more openly. Your perspective could change, and you also might have a more active interaction as a result. The experience might make you feel more sure of yourself as well. A discussion in private will give you more information. Tonight: Hang out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Sometimes you underestimate the effect you have on others. Therefore, you’ll make a point of being very dramatic. Trust that you don’t need to present an exaggerated form of yourself. Refuse to become critical of someone. Tonight: Live it up, as only you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might wonder what is needed to follow through on a long-term commitment. You could be even more detail-oriented than usual, but in this case, you’ll be helping others involved see the big picture. Confusion seems to surround a partner. Tonight: Keep your own counsel. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH How you deal with a loved one could change radically because of the confusion that surrounds this person. You might want to be very clear in your communication, as he or she will be difficult to get through to. Tonight: Meet friends for a fun happening.

children some nights and on the one day I have off — usually on weekends. I can’t plan things on a weekend without feeling I have made it difficult for my son and his wife to find someone to watch their children. Her mom, a stay-at-home wife, watches them several days a week. I want to continue spending time with my grandkids, but I also want the freedom to be there when I choose to be. I realize finding a sitter you can afford and trust to watch your children is a challenge. I have tried talking to my son, but it doesn’t seem to get through to him. I know I need to do something, but what? I’m afraid I won’t see the kids at all if I take a stand. — LADY ON THE LAKE IN MICHIGAN DEAR LADY: Check your calendar and plan some time for yourself — one or two weekends a month. Then tell your son and his wife which ones you will be AVAILABLE. Free baby-sitting services are hard to come by, and you are not giving yourself enough credit. If the unspoken threat is that it’s “all or nothing,” then, frankly, you should step back further and let your son and daughter-in-law shoulder even more responsibility for the children they brought into this world.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Gemini and a Moon in Virgo. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 5, 2014: This year you might not be aware of the mixed messages you send. Don’t be surprised if you get some strange looks or reactions. If you are single, you will have many choices of potential suitors. As a result, a commitment from you could be hard to get; you might be having too much fun. If you are attached, the two of you often seem to be working from different points of view. Somehow you will manage to have a meeting of the minds. Others sense your enjoyment of life, and friends frequently invite the two of you out. VIRGO tends to overthink like you do. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Make time to reach out to someone you deal with on a regular basis. Tension might build around a money matter. Optimism seems to surround a roommate or family member. Though you enjoy this perspective, you might wish it were more realistic. Tonight: Go with a suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your imagination could go haywire, visiting nearly every topic except the one that is pertinent to the moment. Attempts to discipline your mind might fail. If you can, take a personal day, or take off half the day. You will feel refreshed soon enough. Tonight: Let the fun begin. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Pressure builds on the home-
