In the news Coast Guard opening seasonal base in Barrow

KODIAK (AP) — The Coast Guard says it’s opening its seasonal forward operating location Thursday in Barrow. Two Jayhawk helicopter crews from Air Station Kodiak have been deployed with communication and ground support teams. The Coast Guard says the Barrow base will improve response times for search and rescue operations in the Arctic Ocean.

Head-on crash seriously injures California man HEALY (AP) — A 26-year-old California man was seriously injured when he was hit by a camper jack that flew through his sedan windshield during a head-on collision. Alaska State Troopers say Joshua Huerta of El Monte suffered life-threatening injuries Sunday. He was flown by helicopter to an Anchorage hospital after the crash on the Parks Highway just north of Healy. Troopers took a call on the crash just after 3 p.m. Troopers say Huerta was driving north as 66-year-old Glenn Williams of Kentucky was driving south in a pickup carrying a camper. Williams told troopers Huerta’s sedan attempted to pass another vehicle in Williams’ lane. Williams said he swerved but struck Huerta’s sedan at an angle head-on.

Rebecca Adams, her children Jaracca and Michelle Hundley, and her boyfriend Brandon Jividen, have been missing since late May. Adams’ family held the vigil to remind people who go out hunting in the woods to be on the lookout for any clues that could lead to the missing family’s disappearance.

Holding vigil Family still hopes for clues to disappearance By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

Heartfelt emotions poured from friends and family at a candlelight vigil Tuesday night for the Kenai family of four who have not been seen or heard from all summer. About 40 people gathered at the Kenai New Life Assembly of God Church for comfort as family members of Rebecca Adams, 22, her daughters Michelle Hundley, 5, Jaracca Hundley, 3, and boyfriend Brandon Jividen, 37, shared stories and thanked people for their search efforts.

The family insisted they have not given up hope, but wanted to remind people as hunting season begins to be on the lookout for any clues that can help provide answers to their disappearance. The family was last seen May 23. While holding back tears and pausing to collect his thoughts, Dennis Gifford, Rebecca Adam’s uncle, thanked the Kenai Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, search-and-rescue teams and all the volunteers for the hours they dedicated to search the wooded area around See VIGIL, page A-7

ANCHORAGE — Early results indicate Alaska’s new petroleum-tax system will be spared an early death by referendum. If the vote holds up, opponents vowed Wednesday to track promises its supporters made and pounce if they prove to be false. Ballot Measure No. 1 proposed a repeal of Gov. Sean Parnell’s “More Alaska Production Act,” approved last year as Senate Bill 21 and in effect since Jan. 1. As of Wednesday, the repeal was failing by almost 6,800 votes out of 153,164 cast but too close to call. The Vote No on 1 campaign said the law would mean more jobs for Alaskans, more oil production, more money in the Alaska Permanent Fund and “more economic growth for everyone.” State Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, an opponent of the law, said one victory taken from the vote was the extraction of promises from the oil industry that were not made during the Senate Bill 21 debate in 2013. “If they live up to those promises, that’s a victory, that’s a great thing for all of us,” he said Wednesday. Meanwhile, an army of mobilized Alaskans who voted to repeal will be keeping close watch to see if the system not only stems the decline in Alaska oil but also increases production, Wielechowski said. “We’re in the process of gathering up all the statements that were made by the oil industry and by their supporters, and I hope they live up to them,” he said. Supporters hailed Parnell’s measure under the banner of See OIL TAX, page A-7

Murkowski: ‘Front-burner’ issues need attention By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, is visiting the central Kenai Peninsula this week in a public tour around the state. The Senator stopped by the joint Kenai and Soldotna Chambers of Commerce luncheon Wednesday to give an update on Washington, D.C., and expressed concerns about issues that need to be addressed. In a face-to-face with local media Wednesday morning, she said in Washington, lawmakers are looking at funding issues for the U.S Forest Service, which doesn’t have money to take preventative measures such as tree thinning. “How we are better prepared for the next inevitable fire season, I think is part of what we need to be thinking about.” The Senate next goes into a brief session on Sept. 8. With the end of the fiscal year approaching, funding and appropriations will be discussed. Following the Nov. 4 elec-

‘It’s been unfortunate because we’ve got a whole host of things that I think are front-burner issues.’ — Sen. Lisa Murkowski tion, Murkowski said what is taken up in the lame-duck session will likely be dependent on whether Democrats retain the majority or if Republicans take it. Congressional gridlock is causing frustration, Murkowski said, because there are heavy issues that need to be addressed. “It’s been unfortunate because we’ve got a whole host of things that I think are frontburner issues,” she said. … “We’ve got debt issues that we need to address. We’ve got an immigration situation. We have

a weak-kneed foreign policy approach and issues as they relate to what is going on overseas.” Murkowski said as a Republican senator in a Democratic administration, she is facing pressure to help move along backlogged approvals of nominees with ambassadors and the departments of the interior, energy and defense. However, she said Majority Leader Harry Reid, who sets the agenda, is trying to fill out the Department of Justice, which is slowing down progress in other departments. She also said part of the reason Alaska’s agenda is not being heard in the Senate is because the Majority Leader’s agenda doesn’t line up with resource development. “I need to have a Majority Leader that agrees that our nation’s economy is better, that the opportunities for Alaskans and all Americans are better Photo by Kaylee Osowski/Peninsula Clarion when we’re able to access our U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, gives an update on goresources in a responsible way,” ings-on in Washington, D.C., at a joint Kenai and Soldotna she said.

its-kind study at the Washington State University Bear Research Education and Conservation Center. Some — but not all — grizzlies can use primitive tools to thwart your efforts, veterinary student Alex Waroff found this summer in an experiment assisted by Charlie Robbins, WSU bear center director, and O. Lynne Nelson, assistant director and professor of cardiology at WSU’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Nelson said the idea for the study came from a report in a peer-reviewed journal of “first tool use” by a brown bear in Alaska. “The bear was observed to pick up a rock or shell and use it to scratch his face,” Nelson said. “Those of us who work with bears read the report and essentially said, ‘Really? Is that

the best you have?’ “ Nelson said she, and others who work with bears, see evidence of bears manipulating objects for a specific goal all the time — the definition of tool use. “Of course, all of these observations are anecdote,” she said. “So we decided to put this problem-solving skill to standardized research protocol.” The study’s participants are eight grizzly bears — five males and three females — who are challenged to get their paws on a glazed doughnut hung out of reach in their play area on the WSU campus. Researchers place a sawedoff tree stump below the hanging treat to see if the animals will stand on it to reach the object of their desire. Once they do, the stump is turned on its side and moved away from the treat.

Hope, resentment in new charter school landscape By KEVIN McGILL Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Nine years after Hurricane Katrina, charter schools are the new reality of public education in New Orleans. The majority of public school students will attend charter schools established by a staterun school district created in the aftermath of the storm. Supporters hail it as a grand experiment and post-disaster deliverance of foundering schools. The charters, which still receive public money, can operate free from the politics and bureaucracy of the local school board and citywide union contracts. Principals have more authority to innovate. Schools that fail to improve — all public schools are held to the same standards — can lose their charter. “Before Katrina, you could see that schools were allowed to stay open even if they failed students for decades,” said Patrick Dobard, superintendent of the Recovery School District, or RSD, the state entity that oversees most New Orleans schools. But critics, including some parents, say the new system has shut down neighborhood schools, while the best schools remain geographically distant for some low-income and minority families. “If you’re white, you have a better chance to attend a neighborhood school which you can walk to,” says parent Karan Harper Royal, an African-American parent. An overhaul on such a broad scale would have been unthink-

able before Aug. 29, 2005, when levee breaches during Katrina led to catastrophic flooding. About 80 percent of the city was swamped. The Orleans Parish School System was unable to open its 120 schools, which served about 65,000 students. Amid the chaos, state officials saw an opportunity to seize control of schools from a school system widely viewed as corrupt and inept. Then-Gov. Kathleen Blanco and the Legislature passed laws effectively ramping up a 2003 program allowing the state to assume control of any school deemed failing under the state accountability system — most New Orleans public schools at the time. Now, in a sometimes confusing patchwork of school governance, the RSD oversees 57 schools, all charters; the Orleans Parish School Board oversees 20 schools, most charters as well. A handful of schools are overseen by other state entities. Charters have taken off around the country, with 1 in 20 students in America attending such a school, according to the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. Typically, they supplement an existing system and have been criticized at times for leaving the harder-toeducate students to the traditional schools. Education experts are closely watching the New Orleans experience because the city has taken charters to a whole new level. In New Orleans, overall enrollment is 44,700, down about 31 percent from pre-Katrina days, but a higher proportion of students are from families with

low incomes. Progress is measurable but uneven, despite increases in perpupil spending. According to ratings released in October, only nine schools in the city were failing, down from 78 pre-Katrina. Still, most charter schools overseen by the RSD rate no better than a “C’’ grade in the state accountability system, while a half-dozen schools still run by the school board get an “A.” More than half of the RSD’s third-through-eighth-grade students have basic “fundamental” knowledge and skill in subjects like reading and math, up from 23 percent seven years ago, according to the state education department. Still, only 12 percent display “mastery” of subject matter. “Somebody said to me once: ‘We went from a disastrous system where very few young people were graduating ready for college, to a mediocre system. And that’s a miracle.’ Because we had to get off the bottom,” said John Ayers, executive director of the Cowen Institute, a Tulane University public education think tank. RSD schools are open to any child in the city. Some of the Orleans Parish schools are as well, although there may be testing requirements; at least one also reserves some spaces for neighborhood children. Parents fill out a single application listing their top three choices, regardless of school system. Some schools hold lotteries, when applicants outnumber available seats. “I’d rather have a neighborhood school,” Rosa Hernandez said recently outside a Family Resource Center established to help parents through the selection process. A grandchild attends a school near her home and Hernandez was trying to get another enrolled in that same school. “We waited an hour and a half in there,” she said. “They told us we didn’t have space for this school year.” A little more than half of

New Orleans voters favor the choice system over neighborhood schools, according to a poll released in June by the Cowen Institute. Royal, a member of an organization that filed a civil rights complaint with the Justice Department, said her son rode the bus three to four hours a day to attend Lusher in largely affluent uptown New Orleans before she decided to drive him herself. One of the city’s best schools, it is a charter overseen by the Orleans Parish School Board. Some parents, facing high tuition for private schools and uncertainty over enrollment in a good public one, have turned to home schooling. “The fear, the dread, just a lot of stress involved with trying to get into the one you want,” said home-schooling mother Dawn Howard, who moved with her family to New Orleans from Hammond, Louisiana, after Katrina. “And there’s not an even playing field among the schools. They’re all performing at different levels, and it seems like everyone’s trying to get into the same ones.”

What Others Say

Leaders on both sides must step up in Ferguson It was reported Monday by Andrea

Peterson of the Washington Post that the city of Ferguson had hired a Chesterfield public relations firm that specializes in crisis management. We tried contacting the firm to verify this, but no one answered the phone. As metaphors for the communications issues that have characterized the protests in Ferguson, this works very nicely. As the 10th night of protests approached, a few things had sorted themselves out. More remain unsorted. The family of Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old whose death at the hands of a Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9 sparked the protests, has hired lawyers. Mr. Wilson apparently has hired lawyers. Three autopsies have been performed, none of which appear to conclusively support initial eyewitness testimony on either side. The Ferguson and St. Louis County police departments, which could not have bungled communications worse if they’d tried, were relieved of overall command by Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol. For a couple of days, Capt. Johnson talked to everyone, leaving no doubt who was in charge. After Sunday night, when protesters made a move on the police command center, Gov. Jay Nixon activated the National Guard to protect the command center, apparently surprising Capt. Johnson. As Monday evening began, Capt. Johnson was still in charge on the streets, which had been ordered cleared, but the Guard was in charge at the command center. For all the uncertainty on the law enforcement side, there was more on the protesters’ side. The pastors and local activists who played a leading role in the first days of the insurgency, appeared to have no control over certain more aggressive elements in the crowd. These awful events will not be calmed until leaders emerge, on both sides, and communicate clearly, among themselves, among each other and to the public. Law enforcement should speak with one, clear voice. It must engage on social media, where it is being creamed in the info-wars. It must treat reporters fairly. In return, reporters should respect lawful orders, as they would if they were embedded in a war zone. People are frightened, and frightened people sometimes make bad decisions. On the other side, protesters should consider who they are following, and for what purpose. Mob mentality is not just a figure of speech. There are people in this crowd who are there to create trouble, not solve problems. If progress is going to be made in dealing with very real issues facing Ferguson and St. Louis, responsible leaders must step forward and be heard. — St. Louis (Missouri) Post-Dispatch, August 18

Opinion

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

It tells you much about the laughable indictment of Texas Gov. Rick Perry that it has made him a figure of bipartisan sympathy. Perry was indicted last week for the offense of vetoing an appropriations bill. Not vetoing an appropriations bill in exchange for a bribe. Not vetoing an appropriations bill as a favor to a donor. Not vetoing an appropriations bill in excess of his lawful authority. But simply vetoing an appropriations bill. That Perry could, in theory, face more than 100 years in prison stemming from this veto is so mind-bogglingly stupid that even Democrats and mainstream journalists have been taken aback. The whole matter has its roots in the drunken-driving arrest last year of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat. Police pulled her over for driving erratically. Video of the stop shows Lehmberg failing all manner of roadside tests, and nearly tipping over as the polite officers try to keep her upright. By the time she’s at the jail, she’s a parody of an entitled public figure. She blusters. She whines. She belittles. She threatens. She kicks and bangs. Her behavior is so outrageous that she has to be restrained like Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs.” Her blood alcohol level was about three times the legal limit, and she ended up pleading guilty and serving jail time. Gov. Perry thought, not unreasonably, that Lehmberg should resign. Her office houses the

Letters to the Editor

state’s Public Integrity Unit, and she no longer seemed a fit leader of it, for obvious reasons. Lehmberg disagreed. This created what is known in America and other free societies as a political dispute. Rich Lowry They happen all the time. Lehmberg exercised her power to stay in her position, and Perry exercised his power to veto funding for her Public Integrity Office as long as she did. You can disagree with one or both of them, but no one was committing a crime. It was left to a special prosecutor of the very same Travis County District Attorney’s Office to concoct one, and manage to get a grand jury to fall for it. The indictment — running barely two pages long — is as substantive as a fifth-grader’s book report, and about as legally sophisticated. The two counts against Perry are that he “misused government property” and engaged in the “coercion” of a public servant. This makes it sound like he used the $7.5 million of vetoed funds to buy a vacation house, and blackmailed Lehmberg into indicting people on his whim. He, of course, did nothing of the kind. The indictment collapses under the slightest scrutiny. As legal blogger Eugene Vo-

Micciche a leader on HB 77 issues

Superheroes appreciate the support

I’m writing to set the record straight on Sen. Peter Micciche’s role in the defeat of House Bill 77 during the last legislative session. Simply put, without his efforts — including calling for a series of critically important listening sessions in Anchorage and Kenai Peninsula communities — we would likely be suffering the first impacts of a bill that would have stripped away safeguards for waters and salmon, while also effectively eliminating public oversight of what happens to our lands and waters. Unfortunately, recent articles and comments reflect a profound misunderstanding of the Senator’s role in preventing passage of HB 77. First of all, Sen. Micciche did not vote for HB77. Second, he brought the issue out of the fog of Juneau and into the public consciousness with his series of public meetings; dramatically improving the quality and quantity of information available about the bill and giving the public a much needed chance to make their opinions known. While my organization simply preferred to see the bill go away, political reality called for leadership and someone willing to work for a tough compromise since the bill had already sailed to passage in the State House. Sen. Micciche attempted to forge an agreement for what, most would agree, a better bill. But the Parnell administration refused to budge. Clearly, the light the Senator helped shine on this issue and the heat applied by concerned citizens are big reasons why HB 77 is not yet the law of land.

This past Saturday, August 16, 2014, Kenaitze Indian Tribe had their second annual Superhero 5K to support their CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children) program. It was quite the site! 88 runners donned their capes and superhero garb and set out from the Park Strip to complete the 5K course through the streets of Kenai. I could not help but be overwhelmed with excitement and thankfulness. It is because of the generosity of individuals and businesses in Soldotna and Kenai that we were able to raise over $3,500 for foster children in our community. Major sponsors for the event include Alaska Correctional Officers Association, Inc., Lambe, Tuter, & Wagner, CPAs., Five Star Oilfield Services, RGB Enterprises, LLC., Pizza Boys, PacFitness 24/7, Three Bears Alaska, Road ID, Jumpin’ Junction, Artistic Puppy, The Fitness Place, Fred Meyer, Gamma’s Design, IGA Country Foods, Odie’s Deli, Renewal Skin Care, Safeway, Save-U-More, CIRI Alaska Tourism Corporation, C-Cups Specialty Coffee, and Sportsmen’s Warehouse. These sponsors helped provide prizes for our costume contest, fun family activities after the run, food and beverages for our barbeque, equipment and supplies for the run, and coupons/incentives for participants. We also appreciate the Peninsula Clarion and KDLL public radio for their help with educating the public about the race and our CASA program. At the end of the run, about the time we were finished cleaning up from the event, Amy Burton, NORWEX Independent Sales Consultant and Soldotna resident, presented us with a check from NORWEX for $5,000. Mind blown!

lokh points out of the first count, Texas laws requires that the official be in possession of the misused funds. Perry never controlled the funds he vetoed. As for the second count, Volokh points to an appealscourt decision that held that “coercion of a lawful act by a threat of lawful action is protected free expression.” The Travis County special prosecutor must think he’s witnessing the political equivalent of an episode of “The Sopranos” every time he hears news that the president of the United States has made a “veto threat.” It’s hard to believe that anyone thinks that these charges will stand up in court. But that’s not the point. The indictment is an undisguised attempt to wound Perry, to create bad headlines, to distract him. On cue, Texas Democrats absurdly called on Perry to resign. The indictment itself is, in short, a naked abuse of power. The Travis County District Attorney’s Office is infamous for this kind of thing. Lehmberg’s predecessor, Ronnie Earle, launched failed prosecutions of Republicans Kay Bailey Hutchison and Tom DeLay. These acts were as blatantly partisan and as audaciously substanceless as the indictment of Rick Perry. Forget vetoing funding for this office. If there were any justice, it would be shuttered and razed to the ground. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

To these sponsors and to all the participants and volunteers we say chiqinik – thank you. Thank you for your generosity and for your continued support. With the money raised from this event we will be able to provide foster children and youth in our community with the opportunity to participate in activities such as sports, camps, and prom. We will also be able to provide more children with something every child deserves – a caring and compassionate adult who looks out for their best interest. We look forward to continuing partnerships for next year’s Superhero 5K. Chiqinik! Joy Petrie CASA Program Coordinator Kenaitze Indian Tribe

Women small business owners sometimes struggle to get loans By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Women are a growing force in the business world, but if they own a company, they may still struggle to get a loan from a bank. Carrie Charlick and Marcia Cubitt have $4 million in sales but have been rejected for $500,000 credit lines since 2012. Their 11-year-old company, Essential Body Wear, sells women’s underwear at parties at customers’ homes. That’s a problem for bankers, Charlick says. Because the business, based in the Detroit suburb of Commerce Township, doesn’t have a traditional structure and sells directly to the public rather than retailers, banks keep saying no. “We don’t have receivables and we don’t own a building,” she says. “We don’t have collateral.” Male loan officers have also made inappropriate comments about the fact the company sells lingerie. Charlick is convinced that they have a problem with women-owned businesses. Women owners have long been at a disadvantage getting loans. Some states required husbands or other male relatives to co-sign business loans until the practice was outlawed by the Women’s Business Ownership Act of 1988. But women’s business loan approval rates are between 15 percent and 20 percent below men’s, according to the online lending marketplace Biz2Credit.com. Several factors contribute to the problem. Banks historically have been gun-shy about small businesses, and that caution increased due to stricter government regulations after the 2008 credit crisis. Often, women-owned businesses are young, making them look risky to lenders. They don’t look as creditworthy as men. Their credit scores in 2013 were on average 20 points below men’s, an improvement from 40 points in 2012, but still a significant difference, according to Biz2Credit. But women owners may also hurt their chances for approval. “Women don’t ask, ‘what do I need to do to get ready to borrow?’” says Maria Coyne, head of small business banking at KeyBank.

Many women-owned businesses don’t have enough revenue and cash flow to convince bankers they have the ability to handle their debts, says Lisa Stevens, head of small business banking at Wells Fargo & Co. More than two-thirds of women-owned businesses have less than $25,000 in revenue, Stevens says. Some make a poor impression when they show up at the bank. “They don’t take the time to prepare paperwork. They don’t have the proper documents, financial statements,” says Frank Gallo, a commercial loan officer at Tropical Financial Credit Union which has locations in South Florida. Many women can’t explain in detail why they need a loan and what they’ll use the money for, Gallo says. The problems may come from a lack of confidence that would allow them to be aggressive about their companies, including getting a loan, says Barbara Kasoff, president of Women Impacting Public Policy, an advocacy group. They shy away from approaching a loan like any other business deal. “You need to let the bank know you’re a good bet and they can invest in you and they can get their money back,” she says.

Regulations the government imposed on banks after the 2008 financial crisis have forced them to be wary, KeyBank’s Coyne says. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. examines banks’ credit policies and whether they’ve deviated from them, then makes a judgment about whether they’re being prudent lenders, Coyne says. Members of the Senate Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committee introduced legislation in July that would make more Small Business Administration loans of up to $200,000 available to women owners. The bill would also allow lenders to give women owners more flexible loan terms. Stringent terms demanded by one lender forced Alicia Hill to look elsewhere. She needed money for a second Workout Anytime fitness club in suburban Atlanta. Hill applied to her current bank three months ago, expecting her three years of successfully running a club to make approval easy. Instead, the bank emailed her two months later saying she needed to use her savings as collateral. “It didn’t make sense to me. We needed that cash in case we needed to fund the business,” she says. Hill got a loan within weeks from a financing company. She

had been wary of financing companies, believing they would charge a higher interest rate. But the rate she got turned out to be only slightly higher than a bank loan. And the company had a more realistic view of her ability to repay the loan than the big bank she had a 15-year relationship with, Hill says. Individual banks may be resistant to lending to women owners if they don’t understand the business, says Rocco Fiorentino, CEO of Benetrends, a North Wales, Pennsylvania-based company that helps businesses get loans. For example, he says, companies that provide massages and other spa treatments. “If the bank didn’t like that category, she might get turned down,” Fiorentino says. Owners should find out before they apply what kinds of companies a bank is likely to lend to, he says. Women should also get mentoring and advice from accountants, attorneys and other experts before applying, to help make an approval more likely, says Lori Meeder, a loan officer with Northern Initiatives, a Marquette, Michigan business lender. “The most successful businesses are constantly looking outside of themselves for advice or perspective,” she says.

A closer look: Do more with companion devices By ANICK JESDANUN AP Technology Writer

LOS ANGELES — Apple has ways of encouraging you to buy more of its products: It offers bonus features on devices like the iPhone and iPad that work only when paired with other Apple gadgets. Amazon does it, too. It’s understandable. The devices need to communicate with each other at a deep level, and that’s more easily done when a company controls the software on both ends. And these features are more like extras and don’t affect the products’ basic functionality. Take streaming TV devices, for example: These gadgets cost about $100 and let you watch Netflix, Hulu and other online services on a big-screen TV. Though you don’t need any other device for basic streaming, some advanced features in Amazon’s Fire TV require a Kindle Fire tablet or a Fire phone, while some Apple TV features work only with iPhones, iPads and Mac computers. As a result, you’re wise to consider the devices you already own when you buy a new gadget, as these devices become more powerful when combined. Here’s a closer look at how the Apple TV and the Fire TV work with other gadgets from Apple and Amazon. — AMAZON FIRE TV With a Fire phone or tablet, you can start a movie or TV show on one device and continue on another, at least when you’re using the company’s own

streaming service, Amazon Instant Video. When watching on the TV, you can have the phone or tablet display trivia, cast information and character summaries — culled from IMDb and other sources. Information on the mobile device changes from scene to scene. Consider these scenarios: — You’re near the end of a movie on the Fire TV at home, but need to head out. Just pull down the Fire phone’s notification center and switch the mov-

ie to the phone. You won’t miss a scene. It works the other way if you start on the phone on the way home. — An actor seems familiar, but you can’t remember his name or what else he’s been in. With video playing on the Fire TV, check the phone or tablet to see headshots of actors in a given scene. Tap a headshot for more information. The feature also works with songs playing during certain scenes — and you can buy the song through

Amazon, of course. — You can also use the phone or tablet to pause, rewind, forward or go directly to a specific scene on the TV. Or you can check Facebook and email on the device once you’ve had your fill of cast information. — APPLE TV You can start video on an iPhone or an iPad and continue on the TV using a feature called AirPlay. You’re not limited to Apple’s own iTunes service, so this is a way to get Amazon In-

stant Video on the big screen. However, services have the option to disable this capability. Showtime and ABC Family, for instance, have done this. Their apps lack the AirPlay button and aren’t available on the Apple TV. Apple doesn’t offer supplementary information on cast and characters, as Amazon does. And while you can start something on a phone or tablet, switch to the TV and switch back, this doesn’t work if you

start the video on the TV. Amazon’s devices work both ways. Apple does offer screen mirroring, and it’s easier to get to than Amazon’s version. Just swipe up from the bottom for the Control Center. It’s not true screen mirroring, as video disappears from the mobile device when it shows up on the TV. This actually improves video quality because you’re not wasting Internet bandwidth duplicating the stream on a device you’re not watching.

Nation & World

Around the World Social media pushes back at gruesome propaganda by Islamic militants BEIRUT — The extremists of the Islamic State group have turned their social media into a theater of horror, broadcasting a stomach-turning stream of battles, bombings and beheadings to a global audience. The strategy is aimed at terrorizing opponents at home and winning recruits abroad. But there are increasing signs of pushback — both from companies swiftly censoring objectionable content and users determined not to let it go viral. Public disgust with the group’s callous propaganda tactics was evident following the group’s posting of the beheading video of American journalist James Foley — chilling footage that spread rapidly when it appeared online late Tuesday. The slickly edited video begins with scenes of Obama explaining his decision to order airstrikes in Iraq, before switching to Foley in an orange jumpsuit kneeling in the desert, a black-clad Islamic State fighter by his side. The fighter who beheads Foley is then seen holding another U.S. journalist, Steven Sotloff, threatening to kill him next. “The life of this American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision,” he says.

AG Holder arrives in Ferguson, meets with officer in charge of security since shooting CLAYTON, Mo. — U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder arrived in Ferguson Wednesday to meet with federal investigators and reassure residents of the suburban St. Louis community torn by several nights of racial unrest since the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer. While walking through Drake’s Place Restaurant in Ferguson, Holder told diners concerned about the recent clashes in the street, “we can make it better.” He also met briefly with Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who has been in charge of security after the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown sent protesters into the street with nightly, occasionally violent clashes with law enforcement officers. The National Guard has been called in to help keep the peace. “We’re rallying against the criminals,” Johnson said. Asked whether he had confidence in the local investigation of the police officer, Johnson said: “General Holder, by being here, is a guarantee on that.” The visit came the same day a grand jury in nearby Clayton was expected to begin hearing evidence to determine whether the officer should be charged in Brown’s death.

Airstrike kills Hamas leader’s wife and child; Israel demands the rocket fire stop GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas’ shadowy military chief escaped an apparent Israeli assassination attempt that killed his wife and infant son, the militant group said Wednesday as Israel’s prime minister warned that the bombardment of Gaza will continue until rocket fire out of the Palestinian territory stops. The airstrike on a home where Mohammed Deif’s family members were staying — and the tough talk from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — came after the collapse of cease-fire talks in Cairo on Tuesday. In a nationally televised address, Netanyahu showed little willingness to return to the negotiating table after six weeks of war with Hamas. “We are determined to continue the campaign with all means and as is needed,” he said, his defense minister by his side. “We will not stop until we guarantee full security and quiet for the residents of the south and all citizens of Israel.”

Obama meets with business, tech leaders, weighs broader move on immigration WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is considering key changes in the nation’s immigration system requested by tech, industry and powerful interest groups, in a move that could blunt Republicans’ election-year criticism of the president’s go-it-alone approach to immigration. Administration officials and advocates said the steps would go beyond the expected relief from deportations for some immigrants in the U.S. illegally that Obama signaled he’d adopt after immigration efforts in Congress collapsed. Following a bevy of recent White House meetings, top officials have compiled specific recommendations from business groups and other advocates whose support could undercut GOP claims that Obama is exceeding his authority to help people who have already violated immigration laws. “The president has not made a decision regarding next steps, but he believes it’s important to understand and consider the full range of perspectives on potential solutions,” said White House spokesman Shawn Turner. One of the more popular requests among business and family groups is a change in the way green cards are counted that would essentially free up some 800,000 additional visas the first year, advocates say. The result would be threefold: It would lessen the visa bottleneck for business seeking global talent; shorten the green card line for those being sponsored by relatives, a wait that can stretch nearly 25 years; and potentially reduce the incentive for illegal immigration by creating more legal avenues for those wanting to come, as well as those already here.

Beheading spurs attacks in Iraq By LARA JAKES and RYAN LUCAS Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The United States launched a new barrage of airstrikes against Islamic State extremists Wednesday and weighed sending more troops to Iraq as President Barack Obama vowed to be relentless in pursuit of the terrorist group that beheaded an American journalist and is holding other U.S. citizens hostage. In brief but forceful remarks, Obama said the U.S. would “do what we must to protect our people,” but stopped short of promising to follow the Islamic State into its safe haven in Syria, where officials said Wednesday that Foley was killed. However, when pressed, the State Department refused to rule out future U.S. military operations in Syria, where Obama has long resisted intervening in a three-year civil war. The Islamic State called Foley’s execution a revenge killing for U.S. airstrikes against militants in Iraq, and said other hostages would be slain if the attacks continued. Undeterred, the U.S. conducted 14 additional strikes after a video of the beheading surfaced, bringing to 84 the number of airstrikes since they began on Aug. 8. Foley’s mother said she is praying for other hostages being held by the Sunni-dominated terror group, and described her son’s slaying as “just evil.” Obama agreed. “No just God would stand for what they did yesterday, and for what they do every single day,” the president said. The Islamic State militants have promised to eliminate all people they consider heretics in their quest to create an extremist state across much of Iraq and Syria. “We will be vigilant and we will be relentless,” Obama said, urging unity among Mideast governments in order to eviscerate the extremist group’s growing power. He spoke from Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, where his family is vacationing. Western nations also agreed to speed help to combat the militants — most notably Germany, which bucked public opposition by announcing it would arm Iraqi Kurdish fighters to battle the Islamic State. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he was outraged by the execution, deeming it evidence of a “caliphate of barbarism.” Italy’s defense minister said the country hopes to contribute machine guns, ammunition and anti-tank rockets. Two U.S. officials said additional American troops —

Navy kicks out 34 sailors in nuclear cheating ring that operated for 7 years WASHINGTON — At least 34 sailors are being kicked out of the Navy for their roles in a cheating ring that operated undetected for at least seven years at a nuclear power training site, and 10 others are under criminal investigation, the admiral in charge of the Navy’s nuclear reactors program told The Associated Press. The number of accused and the duration of cheating are greater than was known when the Navy announced in February that it had discovered cheating on qualification exams by an estimated 20 to 30 sailors seeking to be certified as instructors at the nuclear training unit at Charleston, South Carolina. Students there are trained in nuclear reactor operations to prepare for service on any of the Navy’s 83 nuclearpowered submarines and aircraft carriers. Neither the instructors nor the students are involved in handling nuclear weapons. After further investigation the Navy determined that 78 enlisted sailors were implicated. Although the cheating is believed to have been confined to a single unit at Charleston and apparently was not known to commanding officers, the misconduct had been happening since at least 2007, according to Adm. John M. Richardson, director of naval reactors. The exact start of the cheating was not pinpointed. — The Associated Press C

‘We will be vigilant and we will be relentless.’ — President Barack Obama probably less than 300 — could be headed to Iraq to provide extra security around Baghdad, where the U.S. Embassy is located. That would bring the total number of American forces in Iraq to well over 1,000, although officials said no final decision had been made. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter by name. In capitals across the Middle East, by contrast, the news of Foley’s death was met with silence, even in Syria and Iraq — the two countries where the Islamic State is strongest. On social media, people in the region condemned Foley’s killing, but stressed that the Islamic State has been committing atrocities against Iraqis and Syrians for years. For much of the past year, and until this summer, the Obama administration was deeply divided on how much of a threat the Islamic State posed to Americans or even other nations beyond Iraq and Syria. But since the militants’ march across northern Iraq in June, and as its ranks swelled almost threefold to an estimated 15,000 fighters, Obama has acknowledged that the Islamic State could become a direct threat to Americans. Foley’s death proved to the West what many people in Syria and Iraq already knew: The Islamic State “has declared war on the civilized world,” said Dr. Najib Ghadibian, the Syr-

ian National Coalition’s special representative to the U.S. The group’s sweep also has served as a wake-up call to other Mideast governments, said Fawaz Gerges, director of the Middle East Center at the London School of Economics. “The Saudis, the Kuwaitis, the Emiratis, and even the Qataris, are getting the message now,” Gerges said. “I think in the last few weeks we have seen a kind of new awareness on the part of regional powers that the Islamic State does present a threat to the very social fabric and the foundation of the state system.” He said Foley’s death could help intensify efforts on the part of Washington’s regional allies to make a more concerted effort to address the threat. Jordan and Saudi Arabia, both of whom share a border with Iraq, have dispatched troops to the frontier in a bid to prevent any attempt by the extremists to attack. Iran, an ally of the Shiiteled government in Baghdad, has sent military advisers to help organize Shiite militias in Iraq and defend holy sites. Authorities from the Gulf to Egypt, as well as their peoples, have looked on with growing concern as the Islamic State group has brutally expanded the territory under its control, punctuating its rise by declaring a caliphate in lands straddling the Syria-Iraq border. Foley, a 40-year-old journalist from Rochester, New Hampshire, was no stranger to war zone reporting. He went miss-

ing in northern Syria in November 2012 while freelancing for Agence France-Presse and the Boston-based media company GlobalPost. The car he was riding in was stopped by four militants in a contested battle zone that both Sunni rebel fighters and government forces were trying to control. He had not been heard from since. He was one of at least four Americans still being held in Syria — three of whom officials said were kidnapped by the Islamic State. The fourth, freelance journalist Austin Tice, disappeared in Syria in August 2012 and is believed to be in the custody of government forces in Syria. The Islamic State video of Foley’s beheading also showed another of the missing American journalists, Steven Sotloff, and warned he would be the next killed if U.S. airstrikes continued. U.S. officials believe the video was made days before its Tuesday release, perhaps last weekend, and have grown increasingly worried about Sotloff’s fate. Over the last week, as threats against the hostages became more dire, their families and the White House asked The Associated Press to not disclose that they were being held by the Islamic State, out of hope the extremists could somehow be swayed to spare the Americans’ lives. The Associated Press is continuing to withhold the name of the other American being held by the Islamic State. The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists says that more than 80 journalists have been abducted in Syria, and estimates that around 20 are currently missing there. It has not released their nationalities.

Gubernatorial race heating up By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Candidates in Alaska’s three-way gubernatorial race wasted no time Wednesday launching their postprimary campaigns and welcoming their running mates for the general election in November. Republican Gov. Sean Parnell and Democratic challenger Byron Mallott easily won their party nominations Tuesday, advancing to face independent candidate Bill Walker. The 51-year-old Parnell planned a news conference Wednesday. His first order of business will be to welcome Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan as the GOP nominee for lieutenant governor and merge their campaigns, Parnell spokesman Luke Miller said. Mallott, 71, was flying Wednesday from his hometown of Juneau to Anchorage, where his campaign will be run with Democratic lieutenant governor candidate State Sen. Hollis French. Walker, who is running with independent lieutenant governor candidate Craig Fleener, was heading to Palmer to help set up his campaign booth at the Alaska State Fair, which

Katherine Covey, who helped the family gather volunteers and set up a command center for community-led searches, has started search-and-rescue training and is in the process of forming a permanent search team, Dennis Gifford said. Lieutenant David Ross with the Kenai Police said the department has not received any new investigative leads into the family’s disappearance. Brandon Jividen’s and Rebecca Adams’ vehicles were left at the home along with camping gear and the kids’ car seats. With no leads on where the family could have gone, police couldn’t continue with search efforts, he said. Audre Gifford, cousin of Rebecca Adams, shared stories that highlighted the loving character of the family and the bond her cousin had with her sister Lanell Adams, who is now back in Washington after spending most of the last three months in Kenai helping with the search. “Lanell said Rebecca is her soul mate,” she said. “They had a tough childhood and they supported each other through hard times.” Audre Gifford said Miccelle and Jaracca loved to color and

play with their dog, Sparks. Every time they visited their grandmother, Kim Gifford, they would give everyone a hug and kiss and ring the bell on the porch of their grandma’s house when they left. “I hope to hear that bell ring again,” Audre Gifford said. The Jividen family has become part of Gifford’s and Adams’ family and they have become united through this difficult period, she said. Brandie Jividen, Brandon Jividen’s sister who lives in West Virginia, wrote a letter that Audre Gifford read about how he enjoyed bonding with his father through hunting and how excited he was when he became a father. “As a boy he would sleep curled up with his dog in the doghouse,” the letter read. “He always stinked so bad.” Kenai resident Josh Cobb, who attended the vigil, reflected on his friendship with Rebecca Adams and how they comforted each other when they both experienced the loss of a loved one. Jeremiah Hundley, husband and father to Rebecca Adams’ children died in a motorcycle accident in 2012.

“When Jeremiah (Hundley) was killed in a wreck, we talked a lot because the year before my dad passed away,” Cobb said. “In some sense I felt like I knew what she was going through. I miss her and haven’t talked to her in a while. I’m hoping for some kind of closure.” Friends and family of the missing family circled outside the church, lit candles and had three minutes of silence, one minute for every month the family has been missing. Rebecca Adams’ mother Jeanine Adams somberly wept as family huddled around her and hugged her for comfort and support. “I want to hold my daughter again,” she said. Audre Gifford said the family had one personal request for everyone in the community. “I had been in close contact with Rebecca before she went missing,” she said. “Our hope is all of you could go home and reach out to a family member you haven’t talked to in a while and let them know how loved and special they are.”

grow the royalty base, you don’t then put money into the permanent fund, and fundamentally, you don’t grow the economy. All you’re doing is dividing up what’s existing right now,” she said. The law could be adjusted

sooner, she said. A provision of Parnell’s system is a new Oil and Gas Competitiveness Review Board within the Department of Revenue, an independent board aimed at assessing a fair tax for companies and government.

Kara Moriarty, president of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association, a trade group, said companies already are spending more money under the new law. The indicator of the system’s success will be whether investment adds production, she said.

Hoyer named Cleveland starting QB over Manziel TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Brian Hoyer defied long odds — and stiff-armed Johnny Football — to keep his dream job. Through sweat and tears, he fought his way back from a serious knee injury only to be faced with the Browns drafting Johnny Manziel, college football’s dynamic quarterback with the cult-like following. Hoyer, though, persevered. He endured grueling rehab to get back on the field sooner than expected, stayed focused as Manzielmania consumed the Browns, and ignored trade rumors. It will be Hoyer who will lead the Browns, his hometown team, onto the field for the Sept. 7 opener against the archrival Pittsburgh Steelers. For a Cleveland kid cut by three NFL teams and waiting for his chance, it doesn’t get

any better. “Obviously it’s very special for me,” Hoyer said. “Did I believe this could happen after I got hurt? There was no doubt in my mind, but there were days when rehab (stunk) and I hated what I was doing. It’s amazing how you appreciate the game when it’s taken away from you.” Needing to fix his offense quickly, first-year Browns coach Mike Pettine chose Hoyer as his starter Wednesday over Manziel, who wasn’t able to do enough during training camp or two preseason games to convince Cleveland’s coaching staff he deserved the job. Manziel is 0-1 as a pro. “It’s obviously disappointing,” Manziel said. “I feel like if I would have come out and played better it would have been a different outcome. I don’t think I played terrible, but I didn’t do anything to jump

off the page. I made strides and got better throughout training camp and that’s what I wanted to do.” Despite a 40 percent completion percentage, 57.9 rating and seeming to buckle under the pressure this month, Hoyer will start the season. However, in Cleveland that usually only guarantees one game. After all, the Browns have had 20 starting quarterbacks since 1999. Hoyer is the 12th QB to start the opener, a damning indictment toward a franchise that has only made the playoffs once in its expansion era. The first major decision of Pettine’s coaching career wasn’t easy. He chose Hoyer’s experience over Manziel’s potential and he may have to make another switch. Pettine knows the best plans can change in an instant. “Give me a crystal ball, and

I’ll tell you,” he said when asked if Manziel will play this season. “The NFL season is so long, so much can happen. We don’t want Brian looking over his shoulder thinking one bad throw and I’m out. But over time, if you feel you have to make a change, time will only tell. “You could foresee a scenario where he doesn’t play this year and there are other scenarios that are absolutely possible as well. It’s hard to tell.” Pettine brushed aside the notion Hoyer is on a short leash. “This is Brian’s job,” he said. “I never think of it whether it’s a leash or we want a guy to be a game manager. We want him to be confident and go out and play.” Pettine’s selection of Hoyer will finally allow the Browns to move on to other things, and there’s plenty of work to be done.

MIAMI (AP) — Nick Martinez allowed two runs in six innings in his homecoming, Alex Rios drove in two runs, and the Texas Rangers roughed up Miami starter Nathan Eovaldi on the way to a 5-4 win over the Marlins on Wednesday. Leonys Martin had three hits for Texas, which led 5-0 after two innings. Martinez (3-9) allowed six hits and threw 62 of his 96 pitches for strikes. He was born in nearby Hialeah and pitched at Belen Jesuit Prep, about 12 miles from Marlins Park. Miami rallied in the ninth with solo homers by Marcell Ozuna and pinch-hitter Jar-

rod Saltalamacchia, both off Neftali Feliz. With the tying run on first, Feliz closed out his fifth save in six chances by striking out Donovan Solano. Eovaldi (6-8) gave up nine hits and five runs, four earned, in five innings. NATIONALS 3, DIAMONDBACKS 2 WASHINGTON (AP) — Pinch-hitter Anthony Rendon’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted surging Washington past Arizona for its ninth straight victory. Bryce Harper opened the ninth with a single off Evan Marshall (4-3) and went to third on Kevin Frandsen’s base hit. Out of the starting lineup for the first time in 63 games, Rendon ripped a single

past third baseman Cliff Pennington, scoring Harper. Five of Washington’s last six victories have been by a single run with four coming in its last at-bat. The Diamondbacks tied the game in the eighth on Ender Inclarte’s two-run homer against reliever Tyler Clippard. Rafael Soriano (3-1) pitched the ninth. Arizona has lost five straight and is 5-13 in August.

PADRES 4, DODGERS 1 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alexi Amarista had two hits and drove in a run, Eric Stults combined with three relievers on a six-hitter, and the San Diego Padres beat the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. Stults (6-13) allowed one run in five innings, struck out five

and walked one. The Dodgers came into the game with a 20-10 record against left-handed opponents, but Stults did just enough against the team he pitched for from 2006-09.

CHICAGO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants on Wednesday became the first team since 1986 to win a protest filed with Major League Baseball, and will now get to resume a rainshortened game the Chicago Cubs thought they had won. MLB executive Joe Torre ruled on Tuesday night’s game at Wrigley Field that was called after 4 1-2 innings. The Cubs were declared the winners by a 2-0 score. Now, it is instead a suspended game that will resume at 4:05 p.m. CDT Thursday with the Cubs batting in the bottom of the fifth. The playoff-contending Giants and Chicago have a regularly scheduled game set to begin three hours later. “I thought we had a strong case,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “I’m just thankful and grateful that they (MLB) were open minded. “They listened and they looked at it and I think it’s the fair thing to do.” A short rainstorm caused a delay of more than 4 1-2 hours Tuesday after the grounds crew couldn’t put the tarp down quickly. The umpires said the field was unplayable and called it at 1:16 a.m. MLB ruled that the tarp had not been properly put away after its previous use. Therefore, under provisions of Official Baseball Rule 4.12 (a) (3) there a “malfunction of a mechanical field device under control of the home club.” Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer called it a “just” decision. “The last thing you want is a playoff team feeling bitter about the result here,” Hoyer said. “And obviously it was caused by our organization. It’s a good outcome.” “Hopefully we win the game. We have a 2-0 lead and pick it up from there,” he said. Hoyer said the Cubs had hoped all along to play a complete game on Tuesday night, and that the Wrigley Field grounds crew and the umpires were caught off-guard by a “weird weather pattern” and a lack of advance warning of the

localized downpour. That resulted in the field “wetter than usual,” according to Hoyer, who added there was no rain at his house, located 12 blocks away from Wrigley Field. Manager Rick Renteria agreed with Hoyer that the game should be completed. “I believe in karma, OK,” Renteria said. “The league has made the decision that this is what should be done. We’re going to abide by it and hopefully we go out there and finish it off.” Bochy was grateful to the Cubs for their support. I really have to compliment the Cubs,” he said. “They were all for this too. They wanted to do the right thing.” Giants President Larry Baer said in a statement: “We appreciate Major League Baseball’s careful review of our protest that will allow last night’s game to be continued tomorrow.” “We want to thank Commissioner Bud Selig, Commissioner-elect Rob Manfred, Executive Vice President for Baseball Operations Joe Torre and the Chicago Cubs organization for their cooperation throughout this process,” he said. The last time a team won a protest filed with MLB was June 16, 1986, when St. Louis played at Pittsburgh. There were two rain delays at Three Rivers Stadium, and the Pirates correctly contended those didn’t meet the National League’s 30-minute threshold for cancellation. MLB said in its statement that after watching video of the trouble at Wrigley Field and talking to Cubs’ representatives, “the Cubs’ inability to deploy the tarp appropriately was caused by the failure to properly wrap and spool the tarp after its last use.” “As a result, the grounds keeping crew was unable to properly deploy the tarp after the rain worsened,” MLB said. MLB said it talked with umpire crew chief Hunter Wendelstedt and that grounds crew worked hard to comply with his direction to get the field covered.

Silvers: The bite is half the fun Kenai Peninsula anglers anxiously await coho salmon’s arrival By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Silver salmon are now bending the rods of local anglers who were anticipating their arrival among an abundant early run of pink salmon. For weeks it was difficult to hook silver salmon, also called coho salmon, with the pink salmon flooding the Kenai River, said assistant area management biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Jason Pawluk. Silver salmon can be identified by their greenish-blue colored backs and silvery sides. Small black spots are found on their dorsal fin and usually on the upper lobe of the tail only. They have a black mouth and white gums that start at the base of their lower jaw. Now the aggressive species is filling the two-per-day bag limit of fishermen perched on the banks of the Kenai River and anglers downstream, Pawluk said. The most success is being had near the mouth of the Kenai River, said coowner of Trustworthy Hardware and Fishing, Scott Miller. Throughout the last two or three days it has really been picking up. “There are so many different ways to fish for silver salmon,” Miller said. Environmental factors are contributing to the gear being purchased for fishing silver salmon this season, Miller said. Dark, murky water has inspired the purchasing of orange or chartreuse colored spinners for spinner fishing, he said. Once the water clears up, anglers will go back to buying pink colored spinners. Bobbers are the favorite method for fisherman targeting silver salmon, which is likely because the visual aspect makes it more exciting, Miller said. In the area around Soldotna bridge people are plunking off the bank, where a weight anchors the line holding the hook to the river bottom, Miller said. The silver salmon being reeled in range around 10-12 pounds right now, Miller said. “Part of the charm of silvers is that they are very aggressive fighters,” Miller said. Unlike king salmon, where anglers take very specific, tested approaches to catching the large species, silvers go after bait and hooks more aggressively and will respond well to a wider variety, Pawluk said. Right now the silver salmon coming in are either at the beginning or within

A boatload of happy young anglers shows off their catch during the Kenai River Jr. Classic.

Smiles abound at Kenai River Jr. Classic Smiles were abundant Aug. 13 at the 8th annual Kenai River Jr. Classic as nearly 100 youth from JBER, the Mat-Su Valley and across the Kenai Peninsula participated in this year’s event, organized by Kenai River Sportfishing Association (KRSA). For many of the youth, it was the first time they had ever caught a fish. Kids not only got to fish for silvers with a professional guide all afternoon, they spent the morning learning about salmon and their life cycles, how to tie fishing knots, boating safety and the the first pulse that enters the Kenai River usually every August, Pawluk said. The second pulse, which is not as concentrated as the first, can be expected in September. Fish and Game does not have any directed assessment to enumerate the abundance of silver salmon, Pawluk

importance of wearing a life jacket. The Jr. Classic is part of a nationwide effort – Take Me Fishing – that encourages young people to learn about and enjoy fishing. KRSA believes that by teaching kids to fish at an early age, they’ll learn to love the sport as adults. Alaska USA Federal Credit Union and Alaska USA Foundation were the title sponsors of this year’s event. They were joined by more than 40 Alaska and national companies who sponsored boats or donated cash or in-kind services to the event so that youth, ages 8 to 16, could participate. KRSA pays the professional guides who take said. But sonar sites targeting other species, as well as reports from the commercial fishing industry, driftnet fleet and local guides, are all suggesting the salmon run is progressing. For now the lower part of the Kenai River will yield the most success for anglers until the schools move further

The Alaska Office of Boating Safety was on hand to guide the youth through a boat safety class prior to going on the river and every child received a loaner life jacket for the day through the SAFE Kids program, courtesy of Central Peninsula Hospital. Partnering with KRSA to provide help with the educational stations was the Alaska Army National Guard, Alaska SeaLife Center, Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies, Sportsman’s Warehouse, and Trustworthy Hardware and Fishing. — Information provided by the Kenai River Sportfishing Association

downstream to the mouth of the river, he said. The fish don’t seem to have moved far upstream yet. Previously, few catches were being reported on the Kenai and Kasilof rivers, Pawluk said. Guides are now reporting their boats are catching the daily bag limit of two per day or two in possession on each trip. A number of factors are likely contributing to the increased success, he said. The clarity of the water at the mouth of the Kenai River has improved greatly since last week. Additionally, the large tides that were keeping the silver salmon from being able to enter the mouth

WASHINGTON — Hundreds of photographs, papers and historical objects documenting the history of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people are being added to the Smithsonian Institution’s collection Tuesday, including items from the popular TV show “Will and Grace.” Show creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick along with NBC are donating objects to the National Museum of American History. The collection includes original scripts, casting ideas, political memorabilia surrounding the show and the series finale. The network agreed to donate props, including a pill bottle and flask, a sign from “Grace Adler Inte-

rior Design” and Will Truman’s framed college diploma. Kohan told The Associated Press that the Smithsonian’s interest in the show featuring gay principal characters was a validation they never dreamed about when the sitcom began airing in 1998. “Will and Grace” ran through May 2006 depicting four friends both gay and straight, eventually ending with the main characters coupled off with children. “These particular guests that were invited into people’s living rooms happened to be your gay friends,” Kohan said. “I don’t think people really had the opportunity to have that before, and it served to, I think, make people recognize that your close friends were gay.” “The fact that it’s in the See LGBT, page

If I could write what’s really important The whole world would change. If only the love was important As it is right away. If I would have a billion dollars I’ll give it to somebody else. If yesterday were troubles Then today I would’ve solved them. If the world wouldn’t end Perfect one shall never be. And if it wasn’t always for me It will be for everybody. If my friends wouldn’t exist I would not exist with them. If I were a president The Earth wouldn’t be a “Monster Attack.’’ If today was my last day I would enjoy it right away. But if tomorrow I woke up It would be the edge of glory. If I could start all over again I’d probably go back. If I had the hope of a world It would be a better place.

Lab-Golden cross, Casey, didn’t seem happy and Denizet-Lewis wondered if maybe Casey would rather have a “different human.” It was silly, maybe, but a decision was needed quickly: Denizet-Lewis wanted to write a book, and he’d planned a cross-country, fact-finding, dog-loving RV trip – with Casey included, he hoped. Inspired by John Steinbeck’s travelwith-a-dog tale, Denizet-Lewis says “I wanted to write a different kind of dog book. I planned to travel across America … and hang out with as many dogs (and dog-obsessed humans) as I could.” With a launching point near Boston, Denizet-Lewis coaxed Casey into a gasguzzling RV and headed to a dog park, then to visit a Massachusetts pet photographer.

The bad and the not so bad on the big screen “Sabotage” Open Road Films (II) 1 hour, 49 minutes

R eeling It In

“Ragnarok” Fantefilm This weekend saw the big release of “The Expendables 3,” but I just couldn’t do it. I watched “The Expendables” and was blown away by just how tired it was. I tried “Expendables 2,” but turned it off about ten minutes in. The dialogue and acting were so awful I couldn’t stand it. I heard this third outing was better, but how hard could that be? Instead of watching a substandard novelty action film starring a cinematically rejuvenated Arnold Swarzenegger, I decided to rent a recent movie starring the ex-governor that actually looked good. And then, when it turned out “Sabotage” only looked good, I decided to rent a Nor-

C hris J enness wegian monster movie that actually was pretty good. In “Sabotage,” Swarzenegger stars as “Breacher” Wharton, a tough career DEA agent who leads a rough and ready team of undercover special forces black ops cowboys. You can tell they’re not messing around by their tattoos, swagger, and, in one case, braided beard. I should have guessed that this film, directed by David Ayer, a writer on “Training Day” as well as numerous other cop dra-

mas, was going to be nearly unwatchable from the first few minutes where we watch Breacher watching a video where his wife is tortured and murdered by drug dealers. From there, we see Breacher and his team take down a nest of narco scum and then rip them off for ten million dollars. When the money turns up missing however, fingers start pointing among the members of the team. And before you know it, they’re pointing machine guns instead of fingers. Not only is “Sabotage” a huge mess, it’s an ugly film. I don’t mean ugly as far as the cinematography, I mean in terms of tone and content. Ugly doesn’t necessarily mean bad, however. “Seven” is one of the best thrillers I’ve ever seen and it’s hard to think of an uglier movie than that. “Sabotage” however merely piles on the depredations, be it drugs, sex, or pointlessly gruesome gore.

Street art shares the stage at Miami City Ballet By JENNIFER KAY Associated Press

MIAMI — Shortly after Lourdes Lopez became Miami City Ballet’s artistic director in 2012, her dancers surprised the outdoor Wynwood Walls gallery with a spontaneous performance, re-introducing the classical art to a city earning acclaim for bold, graphic murals freely spray-painted onto gritty warehouses. The troupe will perform with a street art backdrop again in March, this time on their own stage in a collaboration between choreographer Justin Peck and contemporary street artist Shepard Fairey. Like many tourists seeking a different side to a city mostly known for its Art Deco, glitzy high-rise condominiums and stiletto-heeled pedestrians, Peck made his way to Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood last year while working with the ballet on a commissioned pas de deux.

Miami has many iconic backdrops — neon South Beach, the downtown skyline glittering over the water, the vast Everglades — but what Peck found in Wynwood felt new and representative of the city’s recent cultural evolution. Many colorful and whimsical murals making both classical and comic book references have transformed several blocks of once-drab warehouses into an open-air street art showcase, where artists wielding spray paint cans have become stars during Miami’s annual contemporary art fairs. Peck was especially was drawn to Fairey’s work, featuring large-scale portraits and mandalas and other repetitive patterns in shades of red, black, gold and blue. Peck, a soloist and resident choreographer at New York City Ballet, recognized elements of classical paintings that Fairey refreshed or made new without reducing to cartoonish forms. Inspired, Peck agreed to a

In this July 31 photo provided by the Miami City Ballet, choreographer Justin Peck, right, works with a dancer in the studio in Miami Beach, Fla. Miami City Ballet will debut in March a new work that is a collaboration between Peck and street artist Shepard Fairey. Peck is a soloist and choreographer at New York Ballet.

new commission from Lopez and sought Fairey to design the set. Peck said his choreography will not be a painting come to life, though he found Fairey’s

creative process similar to his own. “It’s this very structural, well-proportioned, well-formatted pattern of art. I think that’s a lot of what I strive to do

in my choreography,” Peck said recently at Wynwood Kitchen & Bar, a restaurant that prominently features Fairey’s work. Fairey, who designed the iconic “Hope” poster for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, said in an email that for his first dance project, he’s proud to follow his artistic heroes such as artist Robert Rauschenberg, who collaborated with choreographer Merce Cunningham on over 20 dance works between 1954 and 1964. Fairey said his backdrop will share some elements with Peck’s vision, “even if that harmony is more about an implicit feeling than anything exactly literal.” “When talking to Justin and watching video and in-person examples of his choreography, I looked at motifs related to pattern, fluidity, feminine elegance, and kaleidoscopic motion that overlaps with motifs within my own work,” Fairey said. The still untitled piece will

feature 17 dancers performing to Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu’s “Piano Concerto No. 1,” a roughly 35-minute piece of music for piano and strings that vigorously references different periods of classical music as it slides from one movement into another. Peck’s collaboration with Fairey builds on Lopez’s push to find ways to help ballet reach a wider audience. “In ballet we have a traditional, very old, classical, social art form. We have parameters, we have history. Look at street art — it is the absolute opposite. It’s now, it’s urban, it’s almost renegade, it’s illegal. When I look at it that way, I see why Justin went to it,” Lopez said. “When I look at Justin, he’s trying to break through like any artist from parameters that we’ve grown accustomed to as viewers. He’s trying to break away from all of that and yet maintain the seed of what we love, which is the classical vocabulary.”

Establishing social media privacy boundaries for our children BY BARBARA ORTUTAY AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Behold the cascade of baby photos, the flood of funny kid anecdotes and the steady stream of school milestones on Facebook. It all makes Sonia Rao, a stay-at-home mother of a 1-year-old in Mountain View, California, “a little uncomfortable.” “I just have a vague discomfort having her photograph out there for anyone to look at,” says Rao. “When you meet a new person and go to their account, you can look them up, look at photos, videos, know that they are traveling.”

At a time when just about everyone and their mother — father, grandmother and aunt — is intent on publicizing the newest generation’s early years on social media sites, an increasing number of parents like Rao are bucking the trend by consciously keeping their children’s photos, names and entire identities off the Internet. Reasons for the baby blackout vary. Some parents have privacy and safety concerns. Others worry about what companies might do with their child’s image and personal data. Some simply do it out of respect for their kids’ autonomy before they are old enough to make decisions for themselves.

“I have a no tolerance policy,” says Scott Steinberg, a St. Louis-based business and technology consultant who has more than 4,800 Facebook friends. Steinberg says he shares no photos, videos or any information about his child. “If I don’t want somebody to know about my child, to take an active interest in them, to recognize them in a city street or as they are leaving the schoolyard, the easiest way to do that is to not have any identifying information out about them,” he says. As for Rao, she says she is otherwise active on Facebook, and even had an Instagram account for her dog before the baby was born. She’s happy posting photos of the canine, but

not the many snapshots of her daughter and the dog together —no matter how cute they are. Rao does share baby pictures, via email or text, but only with close friends and family. Facebook, for its part, encourages parents to use the site’s privacy setting if they want to limit who can see their baby photos and other posts. It’s possible, for example, to create a group of close friends and relatives to share kid updates with. But that’s not enough for some users. New parents Josh Furman and his wife, Alisha Klapholz, are “very protective” of their newborn. The Silver Spring, Maryland couple believes it’s in their daughter’s best interest to limit her Internet presence for as long as possible.

As such, they haven’t posted her legal name on Facebook and don’t post photos of her on the site. Instead, they share her Hebrew name and also came up with a nickname to use just on Facebook. They ask friends and family to do the same. “In 2014 we sort of feel like the repercussions of sharing private data are totally unpredictable,” says Furman, a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Maryland. Like his wife, Furman is very active on Facebook. Even so, he says “our child isn’t capable of making decisions about what details of her life she’d like to share or not.” So they are waiting until she can. A big reason parents are wary, even if they use social media sites themselves, is that

the companies “have not been very transparent about the way they collect data about users,” says Caroline Knorr, parenting editor at the nonprofit Common Sense Media, which studies children’s use of technology. “Facebook’s terms of service and privacy (policies) — no one reads it, it’s too obscure.” Some parents look back to their own childhoods, when they were able to make mistakes without evidence of those blunders living on —forever— online. “I had the choice of what I wanted to reveal publicly,” says Wasim Ahmad, journalism professor at Stonybrook University and father of a newborn son. “I’d like to, as much as I can, retain the possibility of choice for him.”

political, sports and cultural history objects from Arizona to Maryland. Some items being donated include the diplomatic passports of Ambassador David Huebner, the first openly gay U.S. ambassador confirmed by the Senate, and his husband; materials from a gay community center in Baltimore; and photography collections from Patsy Lynch and Silvia Ros documenting gay rights activism. From sports history, the mu-

seum will receive a tennis racket from former professional player Renee Richards who won a landmark New York Supreme Court decision for transgender rights after she was denied entry to the U.S. Open in 1975. “There have always been gender non-conforming people in the U.S., and we’ve made contributions and lived life since the beginning of the country,” said Curator Katherine Ott who focuses on sexuality and gender. “It’s not talked about

and analyzed and understood in the critical ways in which it should be. So for us to build the collection means we can more fully document the history of this country.” “Will and Grace” used comedy to familiarize a mainstream audience with gay culture, said Curator Dwight Blocker Bowers. It was daring and broke ground in the same way “All in the Family” did in the 1970s around issues of bigotry and tolerance, Bowers said.

mascot; and the founder of PETA. He petted wolf-dogs, learned about an invisible dog in Savannah, witnessed the proceedings at a high-kill shelter, and watched dock-jumping competitors. He and Casey did doga in Florida, where DenizetLewis fell in love with a new man. They met a cynophobe, consulted a pet psychic, and added a new member to their family in Arizona. And “somewhere around Texas,” the question of dogs and love was answered… Why do we adore dogs so? You could answer blithely,

but the real reasons are quite deep – and you’ll find plenty of them inside “Travels with Casey.” Making a great big country-wide loop, dog lovers will drool over this (almost) golden reading: we’re introduced to canine worlds populated mostly by aficionados, offered literary kibble about dogs, and we learn something about ourselves – all wrapped up in a delightful romp with a man and his pup. The “almost” comes, believe it or not, with ads. Author Benoit Denizet-Lewis admits

that he received product support for his trip with Casey and to that end, he gives dozens of shout-outs to manufacturers and corporations. I suppose that’s the way to fund a book like this, but it got to be too much. Still, I couldn’t have resisted this book if I tried, and I think dog lovers will feel the same. If that’s you, and you love reading in bed, in the car, on vacation, wherever, “Travels with Casey” is the book to pack.

like other actors who have this same general characteristic, i.e. Clint Eastwood, Swarzenegger never, ever breaks the mold. If the guy from “Kindergarten Cop” had decided to go into Drug Enforcement instead of Elementary Enforcement, and then went through the same things Breacher did, this is how he would have turned out. A big issue is his accent, which is, if possible, even thicker and harder to understand than it was before he was governor. He’s an actor! How is it that he’s built an entire career making English-language films while speaking only barely passable English? There are plenty of foreign actors who can do any accent you want, but Swarzenegger isn’t one of them. And maybe if there was some reason for his character to be a recently immigrated Austrian, it might make a kind of sense, but that is never the case. It’s never explained why he has such a thick accent. He was sheriff of a small West Texas town in “The Last Stand.” Really? Why did they elect a muscular Eastern European for the job? I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, but if it did it would be

a worthy story point. I think the only film I’ve ever seen where I believed Swarzenegger as a character, and this includes his good films like “Predator,” “True Lies,” and “Terminator,” is the frankly substandard “Escape Plan,” with Sylvester Stallone. It’s the only time I’ve ever seen him play a character who is supposed to actually be Austrian. Even in “Conan,” every other character in the film spoke with either a British or American accent. I know, I’m ranting. Suffice it to say that “Sabotage” isn’t worth the rental fee, even if dumb action is what you’re after. Grade: D “Ragnarok,” on the other hand, the recent Norwegian monster movie about a handful of archaeologists following a 1,000-year-old Viking legend, isn’t half bad. In Spielbergian fashion, the story follows Sig, a single-father trying to hold onto his museum-sponsored project who, spurred on by a remarkable find, packs his two children, (teen-age girl and 10-year old moppet) off to the remote Norwegian North and into a forgotten Soviet-era “no man’s land” between Russia and Norway. There they will find the

answer to their mystery, but it may not be the one they were looking for. Short and fairly straight-forward, “Ragnarok” could easily have been a straight-to-video, SyFy Channel knock-off, but for some very good performances and a surprisingly effective score, which had definite John Williams overtones. In addition to the movie’s fun and scary aspects, Sofia Helin, as field researcher Elisabeth, has some very nice, subtle yet moving moments with Sig’s children. Things fall apart a little at the big reveal of the monster — “Ragnarok” obviously is working with a limited budget, but the problems are forgivable. After all, it could have been a lot worse — it could have starred Arnold Swarzenegger. Grade: B “Sabotage” is rated R for sexual situations, nudity, gore, violence, pervasive language and just being generally gratuitous. “Ragnarok” is rated PG-13 for creature scares.

are searching the wreckage of a Winnebago struck by a train, we are treated to a literal pile of guts on the ground. And that’s not the only gratuitous gut scene in the film! The writing is bad, but made worse by a purposely loose scene structure where the actors are asked to speak over one another half the time. At least the film breaks the mold of cop dramas in one way. Rather than being a straightforward tale of how a troubled cop either overcomes his demons, or gives into them, “Sabotage” makes an attempt to be an actual mystery. It stumbles big-time at the end, but by that point I was so checked out it didn’t matter. “Sabotage” boasts an impressive cast of B-list celebrities including Terrence Howard, Sam Worthington, and “Lost’s” Josh Holloway, but the whole thing rests on Swarzenegger’s massive shoulders. He is just awful. He’s always been bad, but the problem is that he never actually acts. Every character he plays is exactly the same guy, and unC

Cousin’s tag-along kids push the limit of bride’s guest list

DEAR ABBY: My husband prefers leftovers to sandwiches for his work lunch. He generally takes

them in reusable plastic bowls that claim to be dishwasher and microwave safe. After a short time, these bowls become terribly stained. Not only are they unsightly, but sometimes they harbor odors. Even though they have been thoroughly washed, they seem unclean. We have noticed this happens more often with tomato-based food like Abigail Van Buren spaghetti or barbecue. I have tried soaking the bowls overnight in dishwashing detergent and even using a small amount of bleach, but the stains remain. Is there a way to remove the stains and odors, or must I continue to buy new bowls and throw the stained ones out? — BOWLED OVER IN ALABAMA DEAR BOWLED OVER: According to “Haley’s Hints,” by Graham and Rosemary Haley (New American Library), if you soak the bowls and lids in cold water for five minutes or more before putting the leftovers into them, you can prevent the staining

from happening. And the odors can be removed by placing crumpled newspaper inside them and putting the tops on before storing them. (This is also an effective way to deodorize shoes.) DEAR ABBY: My daughter just got remarried to a man who has a 10-year-old son. I don’t know the boy at all. What is the appropriate name he should call me? My daughter already has two boys from her first marriage and they, of course, call me Grandma. I don’t feel comfortable having her new stepson call me Grandma. Any suggestions? — NAMELESS IN NEW YORK DEAR NAMELESS: Is your heart really so closed that you would tell that boy he isn’t welcome in it? I urge you to be more accepting of this child, or you may get a name that isn’t fit for a family newspaper — and not only will the boy be using it, but also his father. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Leo and a Moon in Cancer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014: This year you could alternate between nurturing and critical. If people start acting a little crazy around you, it might be in direct response to the mixed vibes you’re sending. Try to get some feedback. You are unusually creative and full of energy. You will enter a new 12-year luck cycle in late spring. If you are single, others want to get to know you. Be careful when meeting new people, as you could encounter someone who is emotionally unavailable. Get to know someone very well before you decide whether to commit. If you are attached, the two of you will enter a special period that brings you very close together. Accept and respect your differences. CANCER can be clingy. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might feel caught between doing what you would like to do and doing what needs to be done. Recognize manipulation for what it is. You might not want to play with those who are deeply embedded in this type of behavior. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your ingenuity will come forward and eliminate a difficult situation. You could be too tired to keep dealing with others who complicate your life. Give some thought to establishing stronger boundaries. You know what you want. Tonight: Join a friend at a favorite spot. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Rubes

HHHH Stay anchored when dealing with a domestic matter. Your ability to convert a difficult situation into one that is easier could be challenged. Be patient when dealing with others. Your fuse could be short, especially with an associate. Tonight: Defer to someone else’s ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHHYou finally will feel more up to snuff, only to have a loved one become touchy and withdrawn. You might need to let this situation work itself out. Try not to be so uptight; instead, go off and choose an activity that you enjoy. Tonight: What would you like to do? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH So much is going on behind the scenes that you could be overwhelmed. You know what you want, and you know where you are heading. Pulling back might be the only smart response for now. It won’t be long before you feel more in control. Tonight: Do your thing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A discussion can be put off only for so long. Your creativity will feed naturally into your day. What you see happen could please you, even though you might not have anticipated that reaction. What you were concerned about won’t be an issue now. Tonight: A midweek break. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH A loved one could become very demanding regarding a financial concern. The two of you clearly do not share the same values, and it will become very evident when money is involved. Tonight: Be willing to clear out extra work, even if it takes you all night.

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might feel as if you are caught between a rock and a hard place. You need to rethink a problem and come to a decision. Your ability to negotiate a different solution will emerge once you detach. Take a walk to clear your mind. Tonight: Choose a favorite mental escape. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by all the choices an associate presents. Somehow you’ll need to figure out how to make a decision. Understand that money doesn’t have to be the driving force. Take your time, and look at the big picture. Tonight: Make it easy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will be in the mood to do less and let others carry more of their weight with a project. Fortunately, they will be up for taking on more responsibility. It is important to prove to yourself that you can relax and assume a different role. Tonight: Keep it light and easy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You’ll see a personal matter differently from how an associate sees it. Sometimes discussing one’s personal problems with others does provide a fresh perspective, but this might not be the case for you. Only you can decide that. Tonight: Schedule a message. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHYou’llbecomemoreresourceful in spite of someone who keeps saying “no.” Don’t waste time feeling disappointed. There is an easier solution; you simply haven’t found it yet. Keep discussions open until you can bypass this obstacle. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

What to do with Ormolu Dear Heloise: I have an OrmoluEncased Clock that has been passed down to me. What is the best way to clean this type of item? — John A. in California Wow! You made me look up “ormolu” again, since it is not a common question that I get. Readers, do you know? Read the whole answer to find out if you’re right! John, your best bet is the safest method first. Just use a clean, soft brush or microfiber cloth to dust and remove fingerprints, etc. If it needs a little more, you can try using a clean cloth or cotton swab dipped in distilled water (so there is no chlorine or minerals in the water that may leave a residue or harm the finish) to gently rub the surface. Of course, this is a family “heirloom,” but you might want to check with an antiques specialist to see if it’s valuable! You never know, and many folks have found out the hard way that it was worth a lot of money! — Heloise P.S.: Here is the answer: Ormolu is a decorative, “fire-gilding” layering process done over brass. Front loader Dear Heloise: I think it was from your column that I learned to keep the door of my front-load washing machine open so that it could dry between uses. What a difference this has made in odor control! — Debbie Y. in Illinois Cleaning lampshades Dear Heloise: I wanted to let you know a hint for cleaning lampshades: canned air! It works great on many things, including lampshades. I was surprised you did not list that as one of the methods for cleaning dusty lampshades. — Trish A., via email

DEAR ABBY: I am being married later this year, and I’m planning my guest list. My cousin “Emily” has five young children who I’m making an exception to invite. She lives across the country, so she’s starting to book her plane reservations. Emily just announced that she’s being remarried and her fiance has three children he shares joint custody of. Am I obligated to invite three children I have never met? This is causing a lot of grief between me and my fiance because Emily assumes that they are all welcome. Please advise. — D.C. IN NYC DEAR D.C.: Call Cousin Emily. Explain that your guest list is limited and that her five children — to whom you are related — are the exceptions. No other children have been invited to the wedding, and you would prefer to get to know her fiance’s children under less stressful circumstances. Emily’s wrong to assume she can include anyone whose name wasn’t on her wedding invitation. The children can stay with their mother or grandparents during the time their father will be away.
