Slate lawyers said it was the first lawsuit of its kind filed since the law was passed a year ago.

It law requires marketers who sell to Alaskans by phone to register with the attorney general's office. The rule is aimed at reducing consumer fraud. Attorney General Bruce Botelho said in a news release that San Diego-based Distributel Inc. continued to operate in Alaska after being warned three times to stop. The telemarketer offers advertising novelties such as key chains and cups.

The state filed a lawsuit in state Superior Court in Anchorage and obtained a temporary restraining order to block the company's business here. Officials said the company was making calls to Anchorage, Soldotna and Seward as recently as this month and that small Alaska businesses had complained about the company's sales tactics.

Airport Repair May Mean Delays ANCHORAGE (AP) A S4 million ramp repair project at Anchorage International Airport will require that cars, travelers and baggage be rerouted this fall. And that may create some logjams for late arrivals, officials say. The elevated traffic access ramp to the airport's domestic terminal needs to be upgraded to comply with new municipal codes regarding earthquakes, officials said. It also needs to be resurfaced. Despite detailed detours and provisions for information updates, airport officials were warning travelers on Wednesday to expect headaches.

"We don't want to kid anybody," Airport Director Lowell Humphrey said. "There will be a tremendous impact on the traveling public." Private passenger drop-off and pick-up zones will be moved away from the front doors. The rental car lot will be moved a bus ride away. Car and truck traffic will be detoured. Cabs and commercial vans, shuttles and buses will operate more or less as they do now, but more slowly.

Tryouts Planned The New Archangel Dancers will hold preliminary tryouts 7-9 p.m. Sept. 1 and Sept. 6 at 208 Lake Street, above First Bank. Dancers must be 21 years of age or older and available to perform during the summer months.

The Environmental Protection Agency permit also does not take into account local consumption of shellfish, marine mammals and marine plants, the groups said. The EPA issued the permit in July.

It imposes strict new limits on the amount of pollutants Ketchikan Pulp may discharge into Ward Cove. The company would have to reduce suifides, dioxins and other toxic chemicals in its wastewater, said Ben Cope, permit manager for the federal agency's Seattle regional office. The company also would face stricter standards on the color of die wastewater and the amount of organic compounds it contains. The company says it would cost tens of millions of dollars to upgrade the mill to comply with the new permit. It instead is seeking permission for an alternative plan to build a mile-long pipeline that would dump the mill's wastewater into Tongass Narrows, a larger and more turbulent Permit waterway.

Cope said Thursday that the permit was scheduled to take effect this month, but will not pending the outcome of the administrative appeal. Ine company and the environmental groups have asked the EPA to hold hearings. Ketchikan Pulp filed its appeal Aug. 4. The environmental groups filed their appeal Aug.

JUNEAU (AP) Byron Mallott, former Sealaska Corp. president and chief executive officer, is running for mayor.

Mallott said several people, including Mayor Jamie Parsons and former Mayor Bruce Botelho, asked him to run after Parsons announced last week that he would not seek re-election. The looming capital-move vote proved to be a key factor, he said. A measure on the Nov. 8 ballot asks whether the capital should be moved to Wasilla. "I felt that I could contribute something to that debate." Mallott, 51, announced his candidacy Tuesday.

He is a former chairman of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corp. board, and has served on the board of Seattle-based Alaska Air Group parent company of Alaska Airlines. He recently has worked as a lobbyist for the state medical association, a seafood company and the Alaska Federation of Natives.
