In the news Alaska, Japanese agencies sign agreement

JUNEAU (AP) — State and Japanese agencies have agreed to keep the lines of communication open over a proposed mega-liquefied natural gas project. Alaska is pursuing the project with three major energy companies, TransCanada Corp. and the Alaska Gasline Development Corp. The intended market is Asia, and the nonbinding agreement signed Monday is aimed at strengthening ties with Japan. The “memorandum of cooperation” was signed by Alaska’s Natural Resources commissioner, Joe Balash, and a representative of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Balash said the agency sets Japan’s energy policy and works closely with Japan’s utility market. The gas line project is in a phase of preliminary engineering and design. The companies behind it have said the project, as proposed, would be the largest of its kind ever designed and built.

Jenna Hansen, 17, has been raising reindeer for three years in Nikiski. She organizes photo opportunities with her two reindeer, Scene of the Crash and Comet, to raise money for homeless youth. Hansen also teaches students about reindeer. At the Alaska State Fair in Palmer this summer, Hansen was awarded a $1,500 scholarship from the Summer of Heroes, a partnership program between Alaska Communications and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Alaska that recognizes youth performing community service projects.

Nikiski teen recognized for community service By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

It started with Scene of the Crash, or Crash for short. Next came Comet. If Jenna Hansen had her way, she jokes that she’d probably have a whole herd of reindeer. But for now the trio, along with some help from family and friends, makes an unusual team educating students and raising money for kids in need on the Ke-

nai Peninsula. At the Alaska State Fair, The Summer of Heroes program recognized Hansen for her community service and presented the 17 year old with a scholarship for $1,500. Alaska Communications and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Alaska are partners in the program, which recognizes youth heroes throughout the state. Along with the scholarship, this year’s six winners selected by a panel of judges, received a

trip to the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. About a month ago Hansen started picking up clues that her older sister nominated her for the award. She found the nomination essay in her truck and there were missed phone calls for her mom from Alaska Communications. Eventually everything came together when her sister told her she was a finalist for the Summer of Heroes and then her mom told her she got her first scholarship. See SERVICE, page A-7

JUNEAU — The Alaska Division of Insurance has approved rate increases of up to 40 percent for individuals who bought health insurance plans through the federally run online marketplace. Roughly 10,000 Alaskans receive federal subsidies to help pay their premiums, and increases for those individuals are expected to be largely offset by their subsidies, division director Lori Wing-Heier said Monday. The greatest impact is expected for roughly 6,000 Alaskans who do not receive subsidies. That figure includes Alaskans who bought insurance outside the marketplace. About 13,000 Alaskans signed up for coverage through the exchange. There are two providers on the exchange — Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield and Moda Health. Wing-Heier said the filings of insurers outside the marketplace are not yet complete. Under the law, she said, the filings are considered confidential until their effective date of Jan. 1, 2015. The division announced the rate increases in a press release last week, blaming the federal See HIKE, page A-7

Tobacco store owner pleads guilty to fraud By DAN JOLING Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — A woman at the center of a tobacco-tax conspiracy that avoided paying municipal tax on more than 12.5 million cigarettes has pleaded guilty to charges of mail fraud, money laundering and making false statements. Sun Sims will forfeit more than $1.2 million as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors announced at a change-of-

plea hearing on Friday. The government will recommend a sentence of five years’ probation when she is sentenced Nov. 25. She could also be required to make a restitution payment. “That will be something the court ultimately decides,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephan Collins. Sims, 52, is one of eight defendants in the case. The other cases are pending, Collins said. According to the indictment

filed July 18, 2013, Sims and Michael Butler were owners of three businesses that sold tobacco. One, Up in Smoke, was in Anchorage. The other two were Golden Eagle Tobacco in Kenai and Longmere Lake Grocery and Liquor near Sterling. The municipality of Anchorage charges an excise tax on cigarettes sold within city limits. Wholesalers collect the tax. According to prosecutors, Sims and Butler bought ciga-

rettes and said they would be sold at the two stores on the Kenai Peninsula, avoided the excise tax, and instead sold them at their Anchorage store. Sims and Butler also resold the cigarettes to five other store owners who paid a fee for getting the smokes that avoided the excise tax, according to the indictment. After collecting payment from the other retailers, Sims and her partner would convert the money into cashier’s checks

in the name of the two Kenai Peninsula stores, prosecutors said, and then use the cashier’s checks to buy more tax-exempt cigarettes that were delivered to the other retailers. Sims agreed to forfeit $1,214,402 and 500 1-ounce silver coins. The charges covered 2009 through Oct. 10, 2012. Butler’s attorney, Randall Cavanaugh, said Monday it’s his office’s policy not to comment on pending litigation.

Five men charged State officials confirm first in prostitution case mumps case since 1995 By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

Five men have been charged with engaging in prostitution linked to a sex trafficking case that involved a Kenai massage business. The charges are a result of a 2012 investigation by the Kenai Police Department of a prostitution ring organized by Karen Carpenter, who operated Gifted Hands Massage on Attla Way in Kenai. According to a Sept. 5 press release from the Alaska Department of Law, Pat Hill, 59, of Soldotna, Dan Brown, 52, of Kasilof, Justin Morris, 29, of Kenai, Michael Dimmik, 72, of

Kenai, and Jason Moore, 34, of Anchorage, have been charged with prostitution for offering money in exchange for sexual contact. The men are scheduled to be arraigned in Kenai District Court today. Last November, a jury found Carpenter, 51, guilty on two counts of second-degree sex trafficking for running an enterprise and procuring customers, and three counts of third-degree sex trafficking for running a place of prostitution, accepting proceeds and facilitating prostitution. Carpenter was sentenced to three years in prison with 720 See CHARGE, page A-7

FAIRBANKS (AP) — A 50-year-old Alaska woman contracted mumps in July, the first confirmed case within the state in a decade. The woman on July 11 went to see a doctor after she suffered headaches, jaw pain and trismus, which can mean lockjaw or muscle spasms in the jaw, the Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported Monday. The Alaska Section of Epidemiology tested samples and confirmed the presence of mumps virus. Fewer than 500 people in the United States contract mumps each year, and AlasC

ka’s previous outbreak was in 1995. It’s a communicable illness that is largely preventable with a vaccine. The disease can lead to complications that included meningitis, encephalitis and loss of hearing. Severe complications in recent years are rare, according to the Section of Epidemiology, and are more often seen in adults than children. The virus is most communicable three days before and after the patient begins to experience jaw tightness or spasms. It can be transferred as much as seven days before

the inflammation of salivary glands and two weeks after. The woman diagnosed with mumps had just returned from a trip to Japan, where she had chaperoned students. During the trip June 6 to 26, she stayed with a host family in which a girl had been diagnosed with mumps five days before the group left. The woman told health officials she thought she had received the mumps, measles and rubella vaccination as a child. She did not have a record of the vaccination. No one else on the trip were affected.

Salmon management structure upheld By Molly Dischner Morris News Service-Alaska Alaska Journal of Commerce

Editor’s note: This story was inadvertently cut in Sunday’s Clarion. It is reprinted here in its entirety. A federal judge ruled Thursday to uphold the federal decision to remove Cook Inlet from the salmon fishery management plan. Alaska has managed salmon since statehood, and the National Marine Fisheries Service removed Cook Inlet salmon from the federal fishery management plan, or FMP, after the North Pacific Fishery Management Council unanimously voted in December 2011 to officially

delegate that authority to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. United Cook Inlet Drift Association and Cook Inlet Fisherman’s Fund filed suit in federal district court in Washington D.C. in February 2013, asserting that the federal government erred when it removed Cook Inlet from the FMP. That case was moved to Alaska District Court in Anchorage in June of that year, and oral argument was heard there in May. The groups were not questioning the management structure, but asked for federal oversight of state salmon management — and argued that is what Congress intended in its regulations of fish in federal waters.

The council manages most fisheries in federal waters from three to 200 miles offshore shore under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The council action to delegate salmon management to the State of Alaska in 2011 made official what had been the policy since the act passed in 1976, but was required under revisions to the law that passed in 2006. Cook Inlet, Prince William Sound and Alaska Peninsula salmon fisheries were removed from the federal FMP, leaving only Southeast salmon still under federal jurisdiction because of the Pacific Salmon Treaty with Canada. The fishing groups also argued that the federal managers had not followed the correct

process in making the change. Burgess wrote that the agency considered other alternatives before removing Cook Inlet from the FMP – as is required by the National Environmental Policy Act – and had followed other regulatory standards for making such a decision. The fishing groups also argued that there could be unregulated fishing in the exclusive economic zone, or EEZ, offshore from Alaska if federal oversight of salmon management was removed. Burgess disagreed. “The court finds that NMFS adequately considered the risks of unregulated fishing in the EEZ and concluded that risk to be minimal, in compliance with NEPA,” he wrote.

Genetic quirk contributes to coffee craving By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — Scientists have woken up and smelled the coffee — and analyzed its DNA. They found that what we love about coffee — the caffeine — is a genetic quirk, not related to the caffeine in chocolate or tea. “It’s an accident that has been frozen in place very likely

by the influence of natural selection,” says University of Buffalo evolutionary biologist Victor Albert. He and more than 60 other researchers from around the world mapped out the genetic instruction book of java. Their results were published Thursday in the journal Science. Albert says researchers discovered that caffeine developed separately in the coffee, tea and chocolate because it is in differ-

Divers seek lost crab pots Editor’s note: This story was inadvertently cut in Sunday’s Clarion. It is printed below in its entirety. By MANUEL VALDES Associated Press

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. — Over 12,000 crab pots are lost in Washington state’s Puget Sound every year, costing an estimated $700,000 in lost harvest revenue, and more poignantly, damaging the sea floor environment. Using sonar to find the pots, divers and scientists venture into the waters to clean up and learn why pots are lost.

The problem Recreational and commercial crabbing in Washington’s inland waters is a popular pastime and an important seafood industry. But thousands of crab pots are lost every year, abandoned on the sea floor. The lost pots continue to attract Dungeness and red-rock crabs for up two years, trapping them until they die. The dead crabs then attract more crabs. “It just keeps on self-baiting itself,” said Joan Drinkwin, programs director at the Northwest Straits Foundation, which spearheaded the crab pot cleanup project a decade ago.

The damage

‘We see people putting their pots in the middle of ferry lanes. And obviously that’s a terrible place to put your pot.’ — Joan Drinkwin, Northwest Straits Foundation

The cleanup After using sonar to pinpoint crab pots on the sea floor, a diver plunges into the cold, dark Puget Sound waters using a rope with a weight thrown near the pot as a guide. Once the pot is found, it’s tied to the rope and reeled in. The team uses divers in an attempt to minimize the impact on the sea floor. In a 2010 trip to Boundary Bay near the U.S.-Canada border, the team found over 1,000 pots in a 6-square-mile area. “When the divers went down to remove them, they tripped over the pots,” Drinkwin said.

The crab pots aren’t alone More than 336,000 animals from more than 240 species have been found in derelict fishing nets and crab pots, according to the foundation. The nets have killed porpoise, sea lions, Chinook salmon and many more species. Since 2002, the Northwest Strait Foundation teams have removed 4,700 nets and 3,400 crab pots from the Puget Sound. The law now requires fishing vessels to report a lost net, and there’s no penalty.

Crabs are not an endangered or threatened species, so what’s the issue? Scientists have estimated that a derelict crab pot can impact up to 30-square-feet of the sea floor around it, depending on where the pot landed. For example, a pot digging out cavities in the sea floor can damage eel grass beds. “If you think about 12,000 pots sitting out there every year, and you add that up, the numbers are pretty alarming in terms of the Fixing the problem kind of impact they are having Crabbing is relatively easy on marine habitat,” Drinkwin and accessible, but that also said. leads to people setting up pots without knowing how to do it well.

Royal couple expecting second child By GREGORY KATZ Associated Press

LONDON — Prince George is not going to be an only child for long — the toddler will soon have a baby sister or brother to share his fancy digs at Kensington Palace. British royal officials said Monday that Prince William and the duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, are expecting their second child. Once again, Kate is being treated for acute morning sickness in the early phases of her pregnancy. The first time she was so ill she required hospitalization. Now she is being treated by doctors at her residence in Kensington Palace. She canceled a planned engagement in Oxford to rest and receive medical care. Prince William told well-

wishers in Oxford that Kate should be over the worst of her symptoms in a few weeks. He repeatedly thanked people for congratulating him and said Kate was disappointed she could not travel. “She wishes she could be here,” he said. “She’s feeling okay, thanks. It’s been a tricky few days — week or so — but obviously we’re basically thrilled, it’s great news, and early days. We’re hoping things settle down and she feels a bit better.” The new baby, boy or girl, will become fourth in line to the throne, pushing Prince Harry to fifth. George, who is 13 months old, is third and likely to become Britain’s monarch one day. William is second in line, while his father, Prince Charles, is first. Britain had changed its laws before George’s birth so that the

couple’s first born would be in line for the throne regardless of its sex. Before the change, a girl would have lost her place in line if a boy was born later. William and Kate have often expressed an interest in having a larger family. The royal couple and their families are “delighted” with the baby news, said officials at Clarence House, the couple’s office. The announcement follows months of speculation in the glossy British and American press about a possible baby brother or sister for George. After hospital treatment for severe morning sickness, hyperemesis gravidarum, Kate recovered and gave birth to George in July 2013 without further complications. The current illness means the 32-year-old duchess may need

extra hydration, medication and nutrients. Britain’s Press Association news agency reported that Kate’s pregnancy hasn’t passed the 12-week stage, which is when she became ill in her first pregnancy. Prime Minister David Cameron said he was “delighted by the happy news that they’re expecting another baby.”

What Others Say

Waking up from Alaska’s aerospace dream When your head is in the clouds, it’s easy to lose track of your feet. Last week, the 17th rocket since 1998 lifted off from the state-owned Kodiak Launch Complex on Kodiak Island. Four seconds after leaving the launchpad, the rocket exploded. The blast damaged the complex — how extensively we do not yet know — and it may be a sign that it’s time to give up on the dream of an Alaskan aerospace industry. Rather than use insurance payouts to rebuild the complex, Alaska Aerospace should consider using that money to demolish it. When it was envisioned in the 1990s, the Kodiak Launch Complex was to be the centerpiece of a new branch to Alaska’s economy. Built with federal grant money secured by Sen. Ted Stevens, the launch complex would welcome rockets and satellites bound for polar orbits. The companies that launch satellites need contractors, and they would turn to Alaskans, much as Alaska’s oil industry is served by a family tree of oilfield service companies. Unfortunately, Alaska’s aerospace dream stubbed its toe on the doorjamb of reality. Kodiak Launch Complex hasn’t been able to compete with launches from Vandenberg in California, and private companies like SpaceX and Virgin Galactic haven’t shown much interest in launches from Alaska. The problem has to do with the market. The Kodiak launchpad can only fly small rockets, and it’s best suited for delivering satellites to polar orbits, ones that go north to south. Equatorial orbits, which run west to east, are more popular among commercial companies. That limits Kodiak to the military market and the market for polar science satellites. A contract with the Missile Defense Agency was lucrative for Alaska Aerospace and the Kodiak Launch Complex, but that contract ended years ago and federal budget cuts mean little is available to replace it. Three years ago, Alaska Aerospace (the state-owned corporation that operates Kodiak Launch Complex) began asking the Alaska Legislature for cash to make ends meet. This year, the corporation received $6 million in operating expenses and $2.4 million for capital costs. We like the idea of an Alaskan aerospace industry, and we like Alaska Aerospace. It’s nice to dream about the Last Frontier becoming the gateway to the Final Frontier. Unfortunately, the market hasn’t matched our dreams. After last week’s failure, no more launches are on Kodak’s calendar. Alaska Aerospace isn’t a failure of imagination. It’s not a failure of hard work or drive. It’s not the Delta Barley Project or the Alaska Seafood International plant. If the state gave up on Alaska Aerospace today, it would walk away having brought millions of dollars in economic development to Anchorage and Kodiak. Dreams are wonderful, but you always have to wake up. — Juneau Empire, Aug. 29

The McDonnell verdict

The soap opera that played out in Richmond these last weeks and ended with the convictions of former Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, on multiple counts of fraud and conspiracy charges is a tragedy for them, their children and the voters of Virginia. By most objective standards, McDonnell did a good job as governor. He took a deficit left by his predecessor and turned it into a surplus without raising taxes or cutting essential services. But a jury found that he and his wife also served themselves, using his office to get sweetheart loans and other favors in exchange for access and the promotion of a commercial product by their benefactor, Jonnie Williams, who avoided indictment by testifying for the prosecution. Some pundits have rightly noted that a man who preaches about strong families and honesty should be expected to live by those standards. Even so, there is a double standard in politics that often allows those who have engaged in similar or worse behavior not only to escape prosecution but to win re-election. The McDonnells might have benefitted from recalling Sherman Adams, President Dwight Eisenhower’s chief of staff. Adams was accused of accepting a vicuna coat along with gifts and loans from businessman Bernard Goldfine. Adams acknowledged that he had conferred with the Federal Trade Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission about Goldfine’s trouble with those agencies. Adams eventually resigned, but it was Goldfine who was later convicted of tax evasion, fined $110,000 and served one year in prison. Little has changed since then because human nature doesn’t change.

Letters to the Editor Look past tax revenue on marijuana issue I am totally out of my mind when I see our elected officials want to legalize marijuana after reading day after day, articles about the possible damage to the brain, which every body already knows. Oh boy, we can collect $20 million by just legalizing the dope. It seems to me that every elected official has nothing on their brain, except how can we tax these idiots more so we can look good handing out bundles of money to all the failing schools and all the other wasteful projects. There are a few of us still left who were born in the bottom of the first Depression when nobody had any money.

The modern gold standard for selling one’s office belongs to former President Bill Clinton. As “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Brokaw noted on a Feb. 25, 1997, broadcast: “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue turned out to be the most expensive bed and breakfast in North America.” A sound bite showed President Clinton denying the Lincoln bedroom had been “sold.” Correspondent Jim Miklaszewski said in his report: “White House documents, some in the president’s own handwriting, indicate the Lincoln bedroom was at least on the market to major political donors. Under increasing public pressure, the White House released the names of 958 visitors who slept at the White House during Clinton’s first term. Most were family friends, but many were major political contributors, like computer magnate Steve Jobs, who gave $150,000; and Hollywood producer Steven Spielberg, $200,000. “But the most potentially damaging revelation came unexpectedly from former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Harold Ickes. Under threat of subpoena, he turned over some 500 pages of documents pertaining to Democratic fundraising to the

House Oversight Committee. The documents appear to support allegations the Democrats turned the Clinton White House into a political fundraising machine. In one 1995 memo, Democratic Finance Chairman Terry McAuliffe [McDonnell’s successor as Virginia governor] recommends the president meet with major supporters for ‘breakfast, lunch or coffee’ to ‘energize them for the upcoming year.’ “President Clinton himself wrote back, ‘Yes, pursue all three, and promptly, and get other names at 100,000 or more, 50,000 or more.’ The president added, ‘ready to start overnights right away.’ And in a 1996 memo, Clinton campaign chairman Peter Knight tells the White House that Democrats expect to raise $350,000 from just one White House coffee with the president. As bad as it may look, White House spokesman Mike McCurry insists it’s still all perfectly legal.” If so, perhaps The Hatch Act and related federal statutes aimed at preventing corruption need strengthening.

Ukraine’s leader rallies for unity

Around the World EU adopts new economic sanctions against Russia delays implementation BRUSSELS — The European Union on Monday shied away from slapping new economic sanctions on Russia right away over its actions in eastern Ukraine. Instead, the 28-nation bloc said the punitive measures will come into force “in the next few days” depending on how well the cease-fire agreement in eastern Ukraine will be upheld. European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said in a statement delaying the sanctions would leave time for “an assessment of the implementation of the cease-fire agreement and the peace plan.” “Depending on the situation on the ground, the EU stands ready to review the agreed sanctions in whole or in part,” Van Rompuy said. Ukraine, Russia and the Kremlin-backed separatists agreed Friday to an immediate cease-fire and an exchange of prisoners. While the truce appeared to hold on Monday, the agreement seemed fragile over the weekend when occasional fighting occurred. The EU sanctions are expected to be coordinated with a new round of U.S. sanctions, a Western diplomat said. The U.S. sanctions are ready for release, the diplomat said, but the Obama administration wants to wait to act in concert with Europe in order to maximize the impact of the sanctions and present a united front against Russia.

Iraqi parliament votes in new Cabine; Arab League calls for united effort against militants BAGHDAD — Iraq’s parliament officially named Haider al-Abadi the country’s new prime minister late Monday and approved most of his proposed Cabinet amid calls by the Arab League for its members to combat the Sunni militant group violently advancing across Iraq and Syria. Lawmakers approved all of the candidates proposed for Iraq’s new government, with the exception of a few posts, namely the defense and interior ministers. Al-Abadi requested an additional week to name them. Outgoing Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and former Speaker of Parliament Osama al-Nujeifi were given the largely ceremonial posts of co-vice president. Kurdish politician and former Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari was named as one of three deputy prime ministers. Former premier Ibrahim al-Jafaari was named foreign minister. The U.S. and other countries have been pushing for a more representative government that will ease anger among Sunnis, who felt marginalized by al-Maliki’s administration, helping fuel the dramatic sweep by the Islamic State extremist group over much of northern and western Iraq since June. Speaking before parliament, Al-Abadi vowed to “back the military operations in all the areas of confrontation against the armed gangs and the forces of terrorism and ensuring their continuation till victory is achieved.” C

Ravens cut Ray Rice after release of video showing he hit fiancee in casino elevator BALTIMORE — Ray Rice was let go by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and suspended indefinitely by the NFL after a video was released showing the running back striking his then-fiancee in February. The grainy video, released by TMZ Sports, shows Rice and Janay Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing. Months ago, a TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator at the Revel casino, which closed Sept. 2. Earlier Monday, the Ravens said they never saw the new video. Hours later, they sent out a one-sentence release: “The Baltimore Ravens terminated the contract of RB Ray Rice this afternoon.” The action represented a complete reversal for the team, even though an Atlantic City police summons stated that Rice caused “bodily injury to Janay Palmer, specifically by striking her with his hand, rendering her unconscious.”

US, UK to send military help for Ebola, as WHO warns cases about to surge in Liberia MONROVIA, Liberia — The United States and Britain will send medical equipment and military personnel to help contain West Africa’s Ebola outbreak, as the World Health Organization warned Monday that many thousands of new infections are expected in Liberia in the coming weeks. The current Ebola outbreak is the largest on record. It has spread from Guinea to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal and killed more than 2,000 people. An “exponential increase” in new cases is expected in the hardest-hit countries in coming weeks, the U.N. health agency warned. “As soon as a new Ebola treatment facility is opened, it immediately fills to overflowing with patients, pointing to a large but previously invisible caseload,” WHO said in a statement about the situation in Liberia. “Many thousands of new cases are expected in Liberia over the coming three weeks.” So far, more than 3,500 people have been infected, nearly half of them in Liberia. The outbreak has taken a particularly heavy toll on health workers. The World Health Organization announced Monday that one of its doctors working in Sierra Leone has been infected with Ebola. In response to the spiraling disaster, U.S. President Barack Obama said Sunday that the military would help to set up isolation units and provide security for public health workers responding to the outbreak.

MARIUPOL, Ukraine — Seeking to rally national unity, President Petro Poroshenko visited a southeastern port Monday that has been assaulted for days by Russian-backed separatists and declared the city would remain a part of Ukraine. After a series of military defeats to increasingly confident rebel forces in the country’s eastern regions, Ukraine signed a cease-fire deal Friday that has been widely viewed at home as an act of capitulation. Much of the region has remained calm as the truce appeared to be holding, although sporadic unrest was reported. “We will do everything to ensure there is peace, but we will also brace ourselves for the defense our country,” Poroshenko told metal workers at a plant that was within the range of the rebels’ rockets. Also Monday, the Kremlin said Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone and “continued to discuss steps helping peaceful settlement in southeastern Ukraine.” The two leaders had also talked Saturday about implementing the cease-fire plan in the conflict that has lasted nearly five months and killed at least 3,000, according to a U.N. estimate. The fighting has also forced hundreds of thousands

to flee their homes. “The dialogue will continue,” the Kremlin said without elaborating. Also Monday, the European Council formally adopted a package of further sanctions against Russia but delayed enforcement to see if the ceasefire holds. Council President Herman Van Rompuy said the sanctions will be implemented in the next few days, which would leave time for “an assessment of the implementation of the cease-fire agreement and the peace plan.” The European Union sanctions are expected to be coordinated with a new round of U.S. sanctions, a Western diplomat said. The U.S. sanctions are ready for release, the diplomat said, but the Obama administration wants to wait to act in concert with Europe to maximize the impact of the sanctions and present a united front against Russia. The diplomat was not authorized to discuss the details of the sanctions before they were formally announced and insisted on anonymity. Poroshenko’s trip to Mariupol came days after it came under sustained shelling from rebels stationed along the 70-kilometer (40-mile) stretch between the strategic port on the Sea of Azov and the Russian border. “This city was, is, and will be Ukrainian!” he told the crowd under the gaze of a tight security detail.

Poroshenko made a surprise trip Monday to a key city in southeastern Ukraine as a cease-fire between Russian-backed rebels and Ukrainian troops appeared to be largely holding.

The agreement reached in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, called for an immediate halt to fighting and an exchange of prisoners. It also called for the central government to give a greater degree of autonomy to the separatist Russian-speaking regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, although details remained vague. While insisting the agreement would not lead to the breakup of Ukraine, Poroshenko expressed some openness to further discussions on the shape of the country. “I think that we should elect the real representatives of Donetsk and Luhansk. And we,

with them, can negotiate anything, excluding the sovereignty of territorial integrity,” he said, speaking in English at a news conference in Mariupol. Poroshenko peppered his conciliatory messages with a gritty determination to repel what he strongly implied was Russia’s aggression. “Mariupol has proven that we won’t let anybody burn our city to the ground. The workers of Mariupol have protected peace and calm in the city,” he said. Poroshenko also said thousands of prisoners would be released by the rebels. He later announced that 20 Ukrainian soldiers had been freed.

Serious respiratory illness hits children By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO — Hundreds of children in more than 10 states have been sickened by a severe respiratory illness that public health officials say may be caused by an uncommon virus similar to the germ that causes the common cold. Nearly 500 children have been treated at one hospital alone — Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, Missouri — and some required intensive care, according to authorities. The suspected germ, enterovirus 68, is an uncommon strain of a very common family of viruses that typically hit from summertime through autumn. The virus can cause mild coldlike symptoms including runny noses, coughing and wheezing but Mark Pallansch, director of the viral diseases division at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said this summer’s cases are unusually severe and include serious breathing problems. “It’s not highly unusual but we’re trying to understand what happened this year in terms of these noticeable and much larger clusters of severe respi-

ratory disease,” Pallansch said Monday. The virus typically causes illness lasting about a week and most children recover with no lasting problems. Cases have been confirmed in Missouri and Illinois. CDC said it is testing to see if the virus caused respiratory illnesses reported in children in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma and Utah. The states’ tally changes as specimens are confirmed or test negative. A spokeswoman for Iowa’s public health department said CDC tests confirmed the virus in samples from patients in central Iowa and a Colorado hospital said it has confirmed cases. The CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat said at a Monday news briefing that there are other viruses making kids sick. “Most of the runny noses out there are not going to be turning into this,” she said. Children with asthma and other health problems are especially at risk for the enterovirus, but reported cases include children without asthma who have developed asthmalike breathing problems, Pallansch said. He said no deaths have been

British pound sinks, independence opponents scramble; Scottish separatists surge in polls LONDON — Britain’s main political leaders scrambled Monday to offer Scotland greater autonomy in a last-minute bid to stave off independence, as the pound sank on opinion polls suggesting separatists are gaining ground — and may even be in the lead. A Yes vote in next week’s referendum would end Scotland’s 307-year-old union with England and plunge Britain into uncharted constitutional and economic waters. Many British politicians and business leaders have long considered that outcome unlikely, and for months polls have put the anti-independence side ahead. But the gap has narrowed ahead of the Sept. 18 vote and one survey released Sunday by pollster YouGov showed the two sides nearly even. — The Associated Press C

reported in the outbreak. Dr. Mary Anne Jackson, director of infectious diseases at Children’s Mercy, said local cases began appearing in midAugust and they appear to have peaked in her area. Schuchat said the strain involved also appeared in the United States last year and in specimens from other coun-

tries. She said the CDC learned it had reappeared in this country last month when authorities in Chicago and Kansas City notified the agency about severe illnesses in children who had to be hospitalized. She said the virus was found in 11 of 14 specimens from Chicago and in 19 of 22 specimens from Missouri.

Afghanistan’s Abdullah rejects election outcome By JASON STRAZIUSO and RAHIM FAIEZ Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah said Monday that he will not accept the expected official results of the election, breaking a pledge he made to the U.S. secretary of state and injecting new tension into an already drawn-out political process. Appearing tired and nervous, Abdullah told a nationally televised news conference that he believes he won both times Afghans voted this year — in April and again in a June runoff. He accused election authorities of violating the desires of voters by ignoring widespread fraud and preparing to declare his opponent, former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, the winner. “We were the winners of the election,” said Abdullah. “We are the winners of the election based on the real vote of the people.” Abdullah’s announcement effectively pre-empts the country’s election commission, which is expected to announce the second-round results later this week following a weekslong audit process to weed out the many

fraudulent ballots cast. The winner would succeed the outgoing president, Hamid Karzai. Abdullah and Ghani Ahmadzai had both pledged to Secretary of State John Kerry during a July visit to the country to abide by the audit’s results. The two also agreed to plans to form a government of national unity with participation of the losing side. That second agreement also remains in peril. The two candidates met face-to-face on Monday, but Abdullah said the talks are deadlocked over how powerful to make a newly created position of government chief executive. Kerry made a second visit to Afghanistan in August in a bid to keep the peace. The two candidates then pledged to set an inauguration before the end of that month, a date which sailed by without a hint of finality to the now five-month-long election process. In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that Kerry had spoken with both candidates on Monday. “In our view, the audit process is still ongoing,” Psaki said. “Under the supervision of the United Nations, I think it was confirmed that part of the

Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah, center, leaves a news conference in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday. Abdullah, one of two contenders for Afghanistan’s presidency, said Monday that he will not accept the expected outcome of the election’s second round and that talks with his opponent to form a national unity government are deadlocked.

process had been completed. There’s more that needs to be done. Dr. Abdullah has indicated consistently that he will abide by the constitution, and so we’re continuing to work with the candidates to determine how we can resolve this moving forward.” Abdullah’s latest statement came one day before Afghans celebrate a national holiday to

honor a former militia commander, Ahmad Shah Massoud, a hero in the country’s north, Abdullah’s power base. Massoud was killed two days before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the U.S., and Abdullah asked the country for calm on Tuesday and told supporters not to mix their emotions over the election and Massoud. A spokesman for Abdullah

had said over the weekend that “radicals” in his camp could foment violence if he is not given a share of power. On Monday, former Afghan defense minister Abdul Rahim Wardak said he believes violence could break out. “I think there is the possibility,” Wardak said in an interview. “There are some countries that want that. Both to our east and west,” he said, in apparent references to neighbors Pakistan and Iran. The U.S. has continued to press Abdullah and Ghani Ahmadzai to form a national unity government, and President Barack Obama spoke with both on Saturday. Though Abdullah said the political process has reached a deadlock, he did not say he was pulling out of talks or that the idea of a national unity government was dead. Kabir Ranjbar, a member of Ghani Ahmadzai’s election team, essentially blamed Abdullah for being a poor loser and said he should accept the outcome of the vote given that the audit was aided and observed by the U.N. and the international community. Abdullah — who placed second in Afghanistan’s 2009 vote after what he alleged was massive vote fraud in favor of

Karzai — did not say what he planned to do next. He said he would make a decision “based on consultations with the people.” Afghan election officials under international supervision have finished recounting more than 8 million ballots cast in the June 14 runoff after preliminary results showed Ghani Ahmadzai well ahead of Abdullah. Both candidates had teams of observers watching the recount until Abdullah — who believed his complaints of fraud were not being listened to — pulled his observers. At the request of the U.N., Ghani Ahmadzai then did the same. The international community had hoped for a smooth transition of power as most foreign forces withdraw by the end of the year. The U.S. wants the next Afghan president to quickly sign a security agreement to allow some 10,000 troops to remain to assist with counterterrorism operations and training Afghan forces. Karzai, the only president Afghanistan has known since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion that ousted the Taliban, has refused to sign the accord. Both candidates have said they would sign it; one must be sworn in first.

President Obama to broaden US effort to combat militants By LARA JAKES and JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will go on the offensive against the Islamic State group with a broader counterterror mission than he previously has been willing to embrace, U.S. officials said Monday. The new plan, however, won’t commit U.S. troops to a ground war against the brutal insurgency and will rely heavily for now on allies to pitch in for what could be an extended campaign. Obama’s more aggressive posture — which officials say will target Islamic State militants comprehensively and not just to protect U.S. interests or intervene to resolve humanitarian disasters — reflects a new direction for a president who campaigned to end the war in Iraq and has generally been deeply reluctant to use U.S. military might since he took office in 2009.

He is to describe his plans in a speech on Wednesday. The U.S. has already launched more than 100 airstrikes against militant targets in Iraq. Now, following the beheadings of two American freelance journalists, Obama is considering expanding that campaign into Syria, where the Islamic State has a safe haven. Obama has long avoided taking military action in Syria, concerned about indirectly assisting President Bashar Assad and his government in Damascus, but the White House suggested Monday that the U.S. could be moving in that direction. Asked whether the president has made a decision to use military force in Syria, spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama was willing “to go wherever is necessary to strike those who are threatening Americans.” In a Sunday interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the president compared the recently more robust effort to “the kinds

of counterterrorism campaigns that we’ve been engaging in consistently over the last five, six, seven years.” The U.S. has for years launched limited drone strikes against terror targets in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. The current strikes in Iraq, which began Aug. 8, have involved both drones and manned fighter jets. By the time of Obama’s speech on Washington, Secretary of State John Kerry will be in the Mideast to meet with leaders from Saudi Arabia and Jordan. He will gauge whether other Arab nations might be willing to join a coalition that includes the U.S. and nine allies — mostly in Europe, plus Australia and Canada — that last week agreed to crack down on the Islamic State. “We look forward to working with the international community and our neighbors in the continuing struggle against the terrorists who threaten us all,” Iraqi Ambassador to the U.S.

Lukman Faily said Monday. In Cairo, meanwhile, the 22-nation Arab League agreed to take urgent measures to combat the Islamic State through political, defense, security and legal means. A resolution outlining the league’s intent did not specify how that might happen, and it did not explicitly back American military action against the extremists. Beyond airstrikes, much of the international strategy against the Islamic State covers the same ground as it has for the past several months. Two senior U.S. officials said it will continue to crack down on foreign fighters and funding flowing to militants, aim to persuade the new government in Baghdad that was seated Monday to give more power to its Sunni citizens in hopes of discouraging them from joining the insurgency, and strengthen Iraqi government forces and moderate Syrian rebels in their respective battles against the Is-

lamic State. Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have for months worked to combat the Islamic State either by sharing intelligence, providing military assistance to rebels or punishing suspected foreign fighters. Broadened U.S. airstrikes would help cover Iraqi military forces, particularly the Peshmerga forces in the country’s Kurdish north, and Western-backed elements of the Syrian opposition, aiming to help them make gains against the militants. In Washington, the president is expected to press congressional lawmakers to approve $500 million in lethal aid to the Syrian rebels. He proposed the aid earlier this year, but his request has stalled on Capitol Hill. The U.S. also has pressured Sunni rulers in Kuwait and Qatar to prosecute private financiers in their nations who are believed to be funneling money to the militants. And the

West is pressing Turkey to shut its borders with Syria and Iraq to restrict the travel of Islamic State militants and keep foreign fighters from joining the battle. But Western leaders still appear divided on whether to launch airstrikes in Syria. U.S. officials said Obama is leaning toward doing so as part of an international effort, and British Prime Minister David Cameron last week said he has not ruled them out. It’s likely that the airstrikes, if they occur, would aim to avoid any of Assad’s aircraft, landing strips or other assets that are part of Damascus’ campaign to attack Sunni rebel groups that include the Islamic State. France, however, is stoutly opposed to airstrikes or any military action in Syria that might — even indirectly — help Assad, according to a Western diplomat in Washington. He spoke only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to be named discussing the strategy.

Ex-United States diplomat Zalmay Khalilzad contests financial probe By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Iraq and the United Nations has been caught up in a suspected money-laundering inquiry that led to a freeze on bank deposits he and his wife hold in Austria. Austrian officials said Zalmay Khalilzad, the founder of a global consulting group, was being investigated for suspected money laundering related to business activities in Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. The case became public after a blogger found documents while rummaging through a garbage can used by the state prosecutor’s office in Vienna. However, few other details are known about the case.

The U.S. Justice Department in May 2013 asked Austrian authorities for records regarding the Viennese bank accounts of Khalilzad’s wife, Cheryl Benard, according to a statement by Khalilzad’s U.S. lawyer, Robert B. Buehler. Austrian authorities then froze the accounts. Khalilzad strongly contested the decision to freeze his and his wife’s accounts, saying it was an overreaction to a routine request for information by the Justice Department to Austrian officials. The Austrian state prosecutor, Thomas Vecsey, confirmed the blogger’s report in the Austrian weekly Profil, which said the inquiry centers on the alleged transfer of $1.5 million to an account belonging to Benard. Buehler noted in a statement

that no charges have been filed against Khalilzad or Benard.. “The DOJ request for information did not seek the seizure of assets belonging to Ms. Benard or Ambassador Khalilzad, nor did the DOJ ask Austrian authorities to seize any of their accounts,” the law firm said in a statement. “However, for reasons that remain unclear, an Austrian prosecutor ignored the plain language of the DOJ request and froze Ms. Benard’s accounts solely on the basis of the DOJ’s request for information.” The law firm said the Justice Department request did not contain any evidence of money laundering or other offenses, and that the Austrian prosecutor had not developed any evidence of his own to support the seizure of the accounts. Justice Department spokes-

man Peter Carr declined to comment Monday. Benard’s lawyer in Vienna, Holger Bielesz, said Austrian authorities ordered several bank accounts owned by Benard frozen in February, about 10 months after the Justice Department asked for Austria’s help. That ruling is now under appeal. Bielesz said the U.S. request did not specify the grounds for the investigation, but that it appeared to be looking for evidence of money laundering. The lawyer also argued that Austrian authorities had overreacted in freezing Benard’s bank accounts because the Justice Department had not yet offered “reasonable grounds for suspicions.” Bielesz declined to go into details about the investigation, saying that at this point he was

representing only Benard and her attempts to get full access to the funds in her accounts. Khalilzad was born in Afghanistan and went to the United States as an exchange student. He later became a professor and served various ambassadorships under President George W. Bush. He was the U.S. special presidential envoy to Afghanistan from 2001 to 2003, then U.S. ambassador there until 2005. He was the ambassador to Iraq from 2005 to 2007, and the U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations from 2007 to 2009. Khalilzad played a key role in the political transition in Afghanistan after the 2001 U.S.led invasion and the fall of the Taliban. He took center stage organizing the traditional grand councils that would eventually

approve Afghanistan’s constitution. The State Department had no comment on the case. In the private sector, Khalilzad is founder and president of Gryphon Partners, which advises companies and wealthy individuals on business opportunities in several industries and regions, including highrisk territories. He sits on the boards of the National Endowment for Democracy, America Abroad Media, the Mideast studies center at Rand Corp., the American University of Iraq and the American University of Afghanistan. He also is a counselor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and writes about foreign policy issues and frequently appears on U.S. news shows.

Three arrested in vehicle reported stolen Three people were arrested in Kasilof Friday after Alaska State Troopers allege the vehicle they occupied was stolen out of Anchorage. Troopers located a gold 2001 Lincoln Navigator at the Kasilof Post Office at about 11 a.m. with three people inside. According to a troopers dispatch, an investigation found the vehicle to be stolen from Anchorage and led to the arrests of Ashley Armknecht, 23, of Kasilof, James Stacy, 29, of Sterling, and Lawrence Trudell, 52, of Kasilof, for vehicle theft in the first-degree, a Class C felony. Armknecht, Stacy and Trudell were transported to Wildwood Pretrial Facility and held without bail. The Lincoln was impounded from the scene. The investigation is ongoing. — Staff report

health care overhaul sometimes known as “Obamacare.” WingHeier cited the relatively small market, which has to support its claims, and claims during the first half of the year that were “quite horrible.” She said it’s not clear if it was really sick people who ended up in the plans or pent-up demand. U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, a supporter of the health care law, said thousands of Alaskans would have access to care if Gov. Sean Parnell accepted federal funding to expand Medicaid coverage in Alaska. Parnell, a critic of the law, refused to do so last year, citing cost concerns. Begich has proposed creating a new tier of insurance policies with lower premiums but the odds of that happening this year seem long, with the Republicancontrolled U.S. House pushing to have the law repealed. Mike Anderson, a spokesman for Begich’s Republican rival Dan Sullivan, said Begich’s vote for the health care law is “costing Alaskans greatly.” Tasha Bradley, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said the state could offer more affordable market options with a more robust rate review program. Alaska is among several states that did not apply for a rate-review grant from the federal government, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. “Until the state’s insurance department releases actual rate information, rather than only the maximum possible rate increase, consumers will not be able to tell how their premiums may change in 2015,” she said

in an email. A new open enrollment period is set to begin later this year. The division, in laying out the rate increases, focused on a 37 percent hike, which would apply to the popular silver plan offered by Premera, WingHeier said. Increases range from 22 percent to 29 percent across all plans for Moda and 35 percent to 40 percent for Premera, she said. The increases are considered justified, Wing-Heier said, saying there wasn’t a month in which the insurers did not lose significant money. She said the division was working off six months of data, and the increases were the result of factors such as looking at the companies’ financial strength and negotiating. She said Premera initially indicated it would need a rate increase of 70 percent. Premera, in a statement, said it would need a 71.5 percent average increase to break-even next year but filed for and received a 37 percent average increase. The company noted the actual rates will vary depending on plan types and things such as members’ ages. From January to June, the company said it had more than $7 million in medical claims from 33 Alaska members. Premera expects to lose $5 million next year, even with the increase. A Moda spokesman did not return messages seeking comment. Premera spokesman Eric Earling said the company is urging the state to create a supplemental reinsurance program to help stabilize the market and spread high medical costs across the entire insured market. He said that would help stave off future large increases.

Around Alaska Alaska Railroad reports revenue growth FAIRBANKS — The Alaska Railroad Corp. is reporting revenue growth of more than 4 percent in the last fiscal year, despite declines in petroleum and coal shipments. Railroad revenue rose 4.3 percent between July 2013 and July 2014, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. Most of the increase is credited to freight shipments, with the rest coming from passenger and real estate gains. Most of the boost in freight shipment is attributed to Alaska Rail Marine. Shipments in the weekly barge service rose nearly 30 percent from 2013. Revenues from passengers rose nearly 11 percent. The boost in revenue comes at a time of significant decline in transporting Flint Hills Resources petroleum products. There also has been a slight decrease in coal shipments. Usibelli Coal Mine spokesman Rob Brown blamed a difficult export market for a railtransport decline of roughly 10 percent. Exports account for about 40 percent of the coal mine’s market, according to Brown. Little or no increase is expected in rail travel to Fairbanks this summer, according to Deb Hickok, president and CEO of Explore Fairbanks. But Fairbanks has seen a significant increase in winter rail travel, she said.

She is looking into animal and wildlife-based degree options both in Alaska and Washington State and will use the money to help fund her academic goals. When Hansen was about 3 years old, she got her first horse. Since then she has raised lambs, goats and steers — everything expect pigs, she said. In the fall of 2011, she brought Crash home. Originally, she got him for the Junior Market Livestock Program through 4-H. “I was thinking about selling him, but I got too attached to him,” Hansen said. “So I couldn’t sell him, and I didn’t want him to be lonely. So the next year I got Comet.” When Hansen learned about the number of homeless students in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, she wanted to do something about it Her 4-H group had previously planned a few fundraisers. Hansen asked if the other

members would support changing the recipients of the money to homeless students. The entire group helped with the first photo shoot from setting up to waiving signs. At the first photo fundrasier in late 2011, Hansen said she wasn’t sure how well Crash was going to behave at the event. “We would have the people sit down and I’d lead him behind them and he stood perfectly,” she said. “I was so happy with him.” Hansen sets up photo opportunities with the reindeer at various businesses in the area. The suggested donation for a sitting is $5 where people are invited to take as many of their own photos as they would like. “It would be kind of hard to print out pictures,” Hansen said. “I’ve sat when it was about 10 (degrees) below (zero) and done pictures. If my fingers don’t work, I don’t think a printer would.” Hansen said during the past three years she has arranged the photo opportunities, she hasn’t seen an increase in clients, but the trio does see returnees.

Crash wasn’t as used to being around people as Comet, and Hansen worked with him daily to get him adjusted to humans. “I would come everyday after school, get a hold of my snowsuit, and I would sit with him and I’d just read until he was comfortable with me,” she said. “And I would take him out take him on walks and let him play in the snow.” Then she started getting him used to other people and then larger groups before taking him to photo shoots. Depending on where Hansen decides to go to college, she said she may have to sell Crash and Comet. “If I get to keep them, which I hope I do, I’ll be home for Christmas break, so I’ll hopefully still be able to fundraise for the homeless,” she said. “And I have a feeling if I go Outside and people find out that I’m from Alaska and I had reindeer, I’m going to be educating people just right and left.”

Industry: Southeast timber sale needed for mill JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Southeast Alaska’s last midsized timber mill is at risk of closing if a sale that would clear-cut 3,700 acres of oldgrowth forest stalls, according to industry representatives and the U.S. Forest Service. Viking Lumber Co. in Klawock was the winning bidder when the Big Thorne sale was announced last year. The sale was later withdrawn amid appeals by critics, with concerns raised about the impacts on Alexander Archipelago wolves. That spurred further review by the Forest Service that led to a decision last month to go ahead with a sale. Owen Graham, executive director of the Alaska Forest Association, said the mill estimates it will run out of logs by next spring. Forest Supervisor Forrest

Cole said the sale will go out for bid this month unless an agreement is struck with the organizations suing the agency to delay it. Conservation groups have sued to stop the project on Prince of Wales Island, which would harvest more than 8,000 acres of old-growth and second-growth forest and produce about 116 million board feet of timber, the Juneau Empire reported. An agreement is in the works, with at least 50 percent of the wood going to keep the mill in Klawock open, Cole said. The Forest Service has not

Railroad spokesman Dale Wade declined to comment specifically on an increase in real estate holdings. He said the railroad’s revenue increase comes from a healthy economy. But the corporation is mindful of reduced petroleum shipments. “It’s going to be a long road ahead,” Wade said. “We don’t have the luxury of taking our foot off the gas pedal in any of our business lines.”

The agency has spent three or four years on the Big Thorne sale at the expense of other possible projects, he said. There are no backups to supply wood to processors if it fails. Mills continue to operate off the last large Forest Service sale, near Petersburg in 2012. The state also supplies wood

from its forests, which include 50,000 acres in the southeast part of the state. The Tongass National Forest covers 17 million acres. The Southeast Alaska Conservation Council says it is suing over the Big Thorne sale to protect small mills in the southeast. Spokesman Daven Hafey called these types of large sales unsustainable, too much, too fast. The organization would prefer sales of “similar volume of timber but spreading that over the course of three or four or five decades,” Hafey said.

Rice cut by Ravens after video surfaces DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

BALTIMORE — Ray Rice was let go by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and suspended indefinitely by the NFL after a video was released showing the running back striking his thenfiancee in February. The grainy video, released by TMZ Sports, shows Rice and Janay Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing. Months ago, a TMZ video

showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator at the Revel casino, which closed Sept. 2. Earlier Monday, the Ravens said they never saw the new video. Hours later, they sent out a one-sentence release: “The Baltimore Ravens terminated the contract of RB Ray Rice this afternoon.” Coach John Harbaugh said he met with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, team president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome after they saw the video, and they made the de-

cision to let Rice go. “It’s something we saw for the first time today, all of us,” Harbaugh said. “It changed things, of course. It made things a little bit different.” The action represented a complete reversal for the team, even though an Atlantic City police summons stated that Rice caused “bodily injury to Janay Palmer, specifically by striking her with his hand, rendering her unconscious.” The Ravens had used words like “respect” and “proud” in referring to Rice following his arrest.

When the NFL announced Rice’s two-game suspension for domestic violence on July 24, Newsome said: “We respect the efforts Ray has made to become the best partner and father he can be. That night was not typical of the Ray Rice we know and respect. We believe that he will not let that one night define who he is, and he is determined to make sure something like this never happens again.” In late July, Harbaugh said, “The thing I appreciate about it is how Ray has handled it afterward by acknowl-

edging it was wrong and he’ll do everything he can do to make it right. That’s what you ask for when someone does a wrong thing. So, I’m proud of him for that.” Asked Monday night if Rice misled him, Harbaugh said he didn’t want to get into “all that.” “I don’t think of it that way. Everything I said in terms of what I believe, I stand by,” he said. “I believe that still, and I’ll always believe those things, and (we’ll) always stand in support of them as a couple, and that’s not going to change.”

Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson makes a catch for a touchdown defended by Giants cornerback Jayron Hosley in the first quarter at Ford Field in Detroit on Monday.

Lions post blowout of Giants By The Associated Press

DETROIT — Matthew Stafford was at his best when improvising — and that alone may be a sign of improvement. Stafford threw two early touchdown passes to Calvin Johnson, and Detroit beat the New York Giants 3514 on Monday night in Jim Caldwell’s first game as Lions coach. It was a bright start for the Lions and their quarterback after the team collapsed down the stretch in 2013 —

Sprints

in part because of Stafford’s turnovers. “I don’t work on my moves a lot during practice, but I know I have to be better with my feet this year so that we can keep plays alive,” Stafford said. “On both of the touchdown passes to Calvin, the offensive line got me a lot of time, and he was able to uncover himself and find somewhere open.” The Lions intercepted Eli Manning twice in their first Monday night opener since

1971. Stafford went 22 of 32 for 346 yards, and Johnson had seven catches for 164 yards. Manning was 18 of 33 for 163 yards and a touchdown for the Giants, who started 0-6 last season and never led in their 2014 opener. “No excuses. We played very poorly,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “We don’t have a lot to be proud of here. Couldn’t move the ball, couldn’t stop them, turned the ball over, got into that business

again. Got a punt blocked, so you name it. It was a nightmare performance.” CARDINALS 18, CHARGERS 17 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Carson Palmer threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to John Brown with 2:25 to play, and Arizona rallied to edge San Diego. Brown, a rookie from little Pittsburg State, caught a short pass and then eluded tacklers into the end zone, capping an 11-play, 91-yard drive.

Scoreboard

Sports Briefs CIA soccer wins Tri-Valley Tournament The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team won the Tri-Valley Tournament for a second-straight year this weekend. The Eagles started the tournament with a 6-0 victory over Nenana on Friday. Timmy Smithwick and Johnny Smithwick each had a pair of goals, while Connor Leaf and Andrew Hammond also added tallies. Goalkeeper Brady Hammond, with the help of defenders Noah Leaf, Ashleigh Hammond, Riley Smithwick and Kendra Brush, had his second-straight shutout. CIA then kept rolling on Friday with a 4-0 victory over Wasilla Lake Christian. Defender Riley Smithwick, in addition to helping secure another shutout, opened up the scoring with a rocket from 30 yards. Timmy Smithwick then had a pair of goals, one assisted by Andrew Hammond, and Noah Leaf scored on a free kick from 35 yards. The Eagles then opened Saturday with a 12-0 victory over Lumen Christi. Timmy and Johnny Smithwick each had four goals, while Connor Leaf had two and Madison Orth had her second tally of the season. Brady Hammond, who had a great save early in the second half to preserve the shutout, also had a goal in the 78th minute. CIA coach Kenny Leaf said Lumen Christi, which finished third in the tournament, is actually a solid team, but that CIA is very hard to beat when the Smithwick boys play that way. The tournament championship was a rematch of the 2013 state championship game, and Saturday CIA topped Delta, which came into the game 3-0, 4-2. Delta scored first in the 18th minute, as the CIA defense finally allowed a goal. However, CIA quickly answered when Timmy Smithwick found Andrew Hammond for a goal, and the half ended 1-1. Just five minutes into the second half, Delta scored for a 2-1 lead. Connor Leaf tied the game in the 12th minute of the second half, then Timmy Smithwick and Andrew Hammond followed with goals to salt away the victory. This weekend the Eagles will take to the road again to play Delta, Nenana and Tri-Valley.

Cilic wins US Open NEW YORK — Unable to play in the U.S. Open a year ago because of a doping suspension, Marin Cilic is now the tournament’s champion. Croatia’s Cilic won his first Grand Slam title by beating Japan’s Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 on Monday at Flushing Meadows, using 17 aces — including four in one game — and the same powerful groundstrokes that helped him eliminate Roger Federer in the semifinals.

Penn St. released from severe sanctions Penn State’s football program got out from under the most severe on-field sanctions imposed on it two years ago over the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal, learning the NCAA will allow it to compete in this year’s postseason and that all scholarships will return in 2015. The surprise announcement, linked to progress the school has made reforming its athletics programs, moved the university a step farther away from the fallout from Sandusky, the former assistant coach convicted of sexual abuse of 10 boys, including acts inside university facilities. — Staff and wire reports

Men who use dating sites offer tips for women online hunch my male readers would react to “Surfing’s” observations. Read on: DEAR ABBY: To the ladies, I advise: Don’t post a 10-year-old photo as being the way you currently look. And don’t lie about your marital status or the number of times you’ve been married. These will come back to haunt you. “A few extra pounds” Abigail Van Buren does not mean 100 pounds overweight. If you are obese, admit it and say you are working on getting the weight off — and make sure you are. — EARLE IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: For women who post photos of their pets, it’s great that you love them, but I’m only looking to date their OWNER. Same thing for travelogue photos with no one in them — what’s the point? And if you say you are active with an athletic body, I’d like to see it. Descriptions can be subjective, and your perception might be different from mine. — DONE MY TIME ONLINE

DEAR ABBY: Selfies in the bathroom mirror are tacky. Have a friend take a picture of you. Avoid taking photos of specific body parts (lips, feet, etc.). It’s low-class. Describe yourself in detailed terms. Every woman says she’s down-to-earth, decent-looking, caring and smart. A little originality goes a long way! — LOOKING IN LANSING, MICH. DEAR ABBY: A woman should never post her previous wedding picture when looking for a new life partner. Photos with the ex that you’ve ripped down the middle or cropped don’t work any better. We can still see his arm around you holding the 40-ounce beer, and it’s not a good image for us. And ladies, if you’re looking for someone to sweep you out of that crappy life you’re in, forget it. Fix your life first to the point where you can enjoy it by yourself, and then look for someone to share it with. We guys like our fixer-uppers to be houses or cars, not our women. — FOUND MY QUEEN ON A SITE DEAR ABBY: I was taken aback by “Surfing’s” advice against facial hair. My beard is part of who I am. Assuming it is “hiding something” signals you may have trust issues with men. If you don’t like what you see, move on! — HAPPILY HIRSUTE IN MISSISSIPPI

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Pisces if born before 7:33 p.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Aries. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014: This year you express unusual grace and integrity. You will spend a lot of time reflecting on what is going on. Try to walk away from what no longer works for you. This year is the last of a 12-year luck cycle. By next summer, you will want to be free of anything that does not work in your life. If you are single, date with cynicism, as you might meet several people who are emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, do not keep secrets from each other. Plan on some weekends away together as well. ARIES adds fire to any of your ideas or actions. 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) HHH Maintain a low-profile and you’ll find that others will respond accordingly. A key partner seems readily available to have an important discussion. Communication opens up when you decide to reveal more of your feelings. Tonight: Energized. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Use the daytime hours to finish up a project. You might want to think through an issue that surrounds a personal matter more thoroughly. Deliberate all you want, but postpone an important discussion for now; someone easily could blow his or her top. Tonight: Settle in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You will be on top of your

Rubes

game. Take responsibility for what needs to be done, and complete it. You will feel great and be in the mood to join friends or indulge in a favorite pastime. You could have too much energy for your own good. Tonight: Where the action is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Keep reaching out to someone you care about. It might be difficult to change direction or do something differently. Your ability to honor a new friend’s requests could launch a fun escapade. Don’t overthink — just go with your initial feelings. Tonight: A force to behold. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You enjoy relating directly to others. Try to understand why a close friend continues to trip himor herself up. Understand that others respond differently to you because you keep things to yourself. Share your feelings more openly, and visualize what you desire. Tonight: At home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by someone’s efforts to draw you out. You usually don’t shut down, but lately it seems as though you have. Something else might be happening here. Once the other party starts talking, you will gain understanding. Tonight: Be a duo. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHA loved one could be balking, which might be causing an additional effort on your part to keep him or her on the right course. Let someone you care about express his or her thoughts on the matter. Tonight: So many offers and invitations. Now choose. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

HHHH You’ll move quickly from one topic to another, as your agile mind is capable of finding answers fast. You know when enough is enough, so make it OK to say “no.” A call could add a lot of romance to your life. Be open to your feelings. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to move in a different direction, but you’ll want and need more feedback first. Listen to news with a bit more cynicism than usual. Your creativity will emerge toward the end of the afternoon. Use this energy well. Tonight: Love the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Speak your mind, and don’t hold back. It will be clear that you have a different idea from someone else for how to handle a personal matter. Understand that the two ideas could work well together. Return calls and ask long-overdue questions. Tonight: Hang out close to home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Continue monitoring your finances closely, as there could be a problem where you least expect one. Schedule meetings for the end of the day, when you’re more relaxed. Listen to what someone has to share. This person might have very different views. Tonight: Join a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You will be in your element.As a result, you’ll be able to pull back and see the big picture from various points of view. How you deal with a problem could change radically given new information. Know that you will find the right solution. Tonight: Your treat.

Will my sheets blow up? Dear Heloise: Please run an article about bedsheets. I am told that most have formaldehyde in the fabric — except organic sheets. And wrinkle-free have the highest percentage of formaldehyde. Any hints? — A Reader, via email Yes, I have hints! Don’t fret too much. You are not sleeping on a time bomb of formaldehyde! The component that helps keep fabrics wrinkle-free may contain a small amount of formaldehyde. But unless you are highly sensitive or sleep with your nose buried in the sheet the whole night, there should not be a problem. Formaldehyde is found in many, many items in and around your home. The levels are below anything considered dangerous. If you are concerned, follow these hints to a healthy sleep, and feel comfortable wearing new clothes. First, wash all new clothing and bedsheets a time or two before wearing or using. This also helps remove some of the “sizing” and will make most sheets feel softer. When shopping for new clothing or sheets, look for labels that state “chemical-free” or “formaldehyde-free.” The word “organic” just means that no pesticides or chemicals were used during the growing of cotton. Formaldehyde or other chemicals may be used during manufacturing. — Heloise Shirt clips Dear Heloise: New dress shirts typically come with sturdy, clear plastic clips holding them together. I save these clips to use much like paper clips. The clips mark pages in a book, keep the corners of a calendar down and seal chip bags. — Jeremy R., via email

DEAR ABBY: “Surfing in Petersburg, Ill.” (June 17) raised good points about men who use online dating services. However, many of the things she pointed out could also be said of women who put their ads on the sites. The pickings are just as slim on our side of the fence. My hints to the “fairer sex”: (1) Don’t overdo your makeup and hair in your photos. While some makeup can enhance a lady’s look, we aren’t seeking someone who looks ready to go trickor-treating or perform as a clown in the circus. (2) Decent men don’t want to see ALL of your physical attributes on these sites. Dress appropriately for your age and don’t allow the “girls” to burst out of your low neckline. (3) Don’t start your first conversation with, “What do you do and how much money do you make?” Intelligent men will realize that you are not as concerned with finding a quality guy as you are with looking for a fat wallet. (4) You don’t have to speak perfectly, but the teen lingo and texting abbreviations are a real turn-off. (5) Don’t constantly complain about your ex. It provides insight as to why he opted to break off your relationship or file for divorce. — DAN IN OHIO DEAR DAN: Thanks for the input. I had a

Man faces eviction because of he has “assistance cats” BENBROOK, Texas (AP) — The attorney for a man who sued an assistedliving center over a threat of eviction for his two cats says he’ll be allowed to stay at his apartment while negotiations continue. Gary Coleman, born with spina bifida, uses a walker and has a serious lung condition. He said he received a letter from Mirabella Assisted Living telling him his lease would be terminated Sept. 11 if he did not find another home for his two “assistance cats,” Rex and Milo. He sued the facility, claiming it violated Texas law and state and city codes. He said Mirabella is violating his lease, which he said allows the cats. “Gary was really scared

about what they were going to do,” said his attorney, Randy Turner. “He was greatly relieved when I told him they were not going to evict him while this case is pending.” The facility’s attorney, Greg Blaines, said in a statement the business is committed to finding a solution that works for Coleman and other residents. Blaines said the facility is working with Coleman’s attorney to “create a positive outcome.” The cats are not pets, but rather therapy animals, Coleman told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “I have no family,” Coleman said. “I have no mother or father. My cats provide something that no family has ever given to me and that is emotional support.”
