Heroin disguised as Christmas package seized in Anchorage ANCHORAGE — A bowling ball-sized package of heroin was mailed to Alaska disguised as Christmas boxes, U.S. prosecutors said. Don Frye Sr., 53, accepted the package containing more than 16 pounds of heroin, resulting in drug charges against him, prosecutors said. Federal authorities on Nov. 6 intercepted a package sent by mail from “David Johnson” in California to “Robert Johnson” in Anchorage, prosecutors said. The package weighed 27 pounds and cost $168.95 in postage. A narcotics-detecting dog indicated there were drugs in the parcel. Investigators with a search warrant opened the package and found two Christmasthemed cardboard boxes containing a total of 7,639 grams of heroin. On Nov. 7, law enforcement officers conducted a “controlled delivery” of the package to the home listed on the package. When officers determined the package had been opened, they converged on the home. Frye was the only one in the home, prosecutors said. He was found with a torn plastic baggie, a glass pipe and a knife. A conviction would mean a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years. A conviction on the more serious charge — possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute — could bring a term of up to life in prison and a $10 million fine, prosecutors said. —Associated Press

Dunleavy to be sworn in above Arctic Circle By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Alaska’s newly elected governor will be sworn in above the Arctic Circle, marking a first for the state. Republican Gov.-elect Mike Dunleavy will become Alaska’s top elected official Dec. 3, when he takes the oath of office in Noorvik, a tiny Inupiat Eskimo village more than a thousand miles (1,600 kilometers) from the state capital of Juneau. Noorvik is where Dunleavy’s Alaska Native wife, Rose, grew up, and where some residents still travel by dogsled and hunt and fish for much of their food. No roads link the village of 670 to the outside world. Instead, Noorvik is accessible mostly by plane and boat, on the Kobuk River, with snowmobiles and ATVs a common

mode of transportation for locals. Dunleavy said in a statement that he and his wife chose Noorvik out of respect for her family and because of fond memories of the years they spent in rural Alaska. The couple, who have three daughters, lived in the regional hub town of Kotzebue for 13 years before the family eventually settled on 45 acres near Wasilla, north of Anchorage. “For us, it is the right thing to do — to call attention to the beauty, warmth and spirit of a part of our state many Alaskans have not experienced,” wrote Dunleavy, a former educator and state senator.

Teachers make ends meet with 2nd jobs By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Arin Bowen starts her morning at Soldotna Montessori where she works as an interventionist. In the afternoon, she works as the Quest teacher at Redoubt Elementary. Her workday doesn’t end there though. She works as a referee for high school volleyball and works at Chal-

lenger Learning Center running missions and educational programs. “I have had my other jobs for several years and I just kept them to help pay for daycare and other fun bills adults get to pay,” Bowen said. While Bowen said she enjoys her side gigs, she also said she’s expecting her third child this spring, and that working long nights and on

the weekends might be hard on her family. “(The extra jobs) might make it harder to be gone for during those long nights and weekend days with two young ones and a fifth-grader at home,” Bowen said. She said her husband and parents are teachers too. “We do what we need to do,” Bowen said. Bowen isn’t the only edu-

cator who has taken up a second job. In fact, Bowen said she remembers her parents always having summer and weekend jobs, as well. “It’s nothing new for me,” Bowen said. “It’s kind of what I have always known.” Roughly 1 in 5 teachers in the U.S. have a second job, according to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. The most recent National Teacher

and Principal survey from the U.S. Dept. of Education shows that 18 percent of teachers have a job outside of their school system. According to the National Education Association, average starting salaries for educators in 2016-17 was $38,617. Salaries for teachers in the Kenai Peninsula BorSee TEACH, page A2

Groups protest plans for possible lease sale By DAN JOLING Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Federal regulators are preparing an environmental review for a possible offshore lease sale in Alaska’s Beaufort Sea and environmental groups are calling foul.

The legality of Arctic Ocean offshore lease sales is the subject of a federal lawsuit. Environmental groups say it’s irresponsible to plan lease sales ahead of a ruling. “Rather than moving ahead with expending large amounts of governmental resources for analyses and holding public

hearings for a lease sale the court may decide is illegal, the Trump Administration should wait for the court’s decision,” said Lois Epstein, Arctic program director for The Wilderness Society, in a prepared statement. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management announced

Thursday it would prepare the environmental review in support of a potential oil and gas lease sale in the Beaufort Sea next year. The review would analyze potential effects of leasing, exploration, development and production. A 30day public comment period runs through Dec. 17.

The agency scheduled public hearings in three Arctic coast communities followed by a hearing Dec.6 in Anchorage. “We especially need to hear from residents of the Beaufort Sea communities, letting us know how the pro-

Kawasaki appears to upset Alaska nets $28M Kelly in state Senate race at oil, gas lease sale By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — Republican Alaska Senate President Pete Kelly appears to have lost his re-election bid but told The Associated Press Friday that he’s leaving open the option of a recount. Ballots tallied Friday show Democratic Rep. Scott Kawasaki widening his lead to 173 votes in the Fairbanks race. As of Friday afternoon, the Division of Elections said it had the potential to receive 50 ballots from military or overseas addresses; that grouping is not broken out. Friday was the deadline for the state to receive absentee ballots mailed from within the U.S. Wednesday is the deadline to receive ballots from overseas addresses. A win by Kawasaki would leave Republicans with 13 of the Senate’s 20 seats. Democrats, however, held out some hope that a bipartisan coalition could be formed. Meanwhile, in the House race to replace Kawasaki, Re-

publican Bart LeBon held a 5-vote lead over Democrat Kathryn Dodge. The lead in that race has gone back and forth as ballots have been counted. Republicans last week rushed to claim control of the House, saying they had a minimum of 21 members for a new majority, assuming a win by LeBon. The current House speaker, Democrat Bryce Edgmon, said the move was prema-

ture. The House has been held the last two years by a coalition composed largely of Democrats. Jay Parmley, executive director of the Alaska Democratic party, said Democrats knew the race against Kelly would be tough. The race was expensive and hard fought. “We just couldn’t be more

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska netted $28.1 million from its oil and gas lease sales in the North Slope and Beaufort Sea. The state received bids on 133 tracts in the North Slope covering about 350 square miles (906 square kilometers), the Alaska Journal of Commerce reported . The winning bids at the annual lease sale Thursday for the North Slope accounted for about $27.3 million, the third highest amount since 1998, said Chantal Walsh, director of the state Division of Oil and Gas. Bidders paid about $848,000 for the eight near shore tracts covering about 32 square miles (83 square kilometers) in the Beaufort Sea. The amount fell in line with historical averages, Walsh said. “We have a lot to be happy about — a very good lease sale,” Walsh said. Dominating the sealed-bid sale, Lagniappe Alaska LLC, a new player in the state, won rights to about 120 leases over a large area south of Deadhorse along the Dalton Highway. The

company based in Lafayette, Louisiana, formed in Alaska last week, according to filings with the state Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing. “We appreciate our new player,” Walsh said. No bids were placed on the three Special Alaska Lease Sale Areas, which the division put up for bids for the first time. The areas each cover multiple lease tracts and have publicly available geologic data. Compiling and advertising the areas directed more traffic to the division’s website than ever before, Walsh said. They also provided officials with insight into how to better direct interested parties to publicly available oil and gas geologic and well data, she said. Walsh said the state will continue to evaluate the concept, and a decision has not yet been made on if the areas will be put up for bid again in their current form. The federal Bureau of Land Management’s annual lease sale for the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska is scheduled for Dec. 12.

ough School District start at around $48,000 a year and can grow to near $100,000 a year, Pegge Erkeneff, communications liaison for the district said. Salaries can grow depending on education and number of years with the district. Winter Marshall-Allen, who works as a special education teacher at Homer High School, said she took up a second job to balance her high cost of living. “I have two degrees and I live to teach, but the cost of living is expensive,” she said. Alaska has the 10th highest housing wage in the nation, according to 2018 Out of Reach study conducted by the National Low Income Housing Coalition. A housing wage is an hourly wage a full-time worker must earn to afford a modest rental home while spending no more than 30 percent of their income on rent and utilities. In 2018, the national housing wage is $22.10 an hour, according to the Out of Reach study. In Alaska, one needs to make $24.80 an hour to afford a two-bedroom rental home. In Hawaii, the highest housing wage in the nation, renters need to make $36.13 an hour to afford a similar two-bedroom home. Marshall-Allen said she’s had more than one job for six

out of the 10 years she’s been teaching. “I have also tutored, been a personal trainer and provided life coach support for individuals with developmental disabilities,” Marshall-Allen said. David Brighton, president of the Kenai Peninsula Education Association, said he believes the percentage of teachers on the Kenai Peninsula

who work second jobs may be higher than the national average because of employment opportunities Alaska has in the summer. “I know a number of teachers who work in fishing or in tourism during the summer,” Brighton said. Brighton said his biggest concern for teachers lies in the rising cost of health care. “Health care is our major

concern and we are trying to find a way forward with that,” Brighton said. Many teachers also use their own money to supplement their classroom. Nationwide, teachers spend $480 a year, of which $250 is tax deductible, on school supplies for their students, according to a study released this year by the National Center on Education Statistics.

Kelly, a long-time legislator who during his career also served in the House, was known as a staunch conservative voice. In 2017, he was outspoken in opposing an income tax that the state House passed as a way to help address the state’s fiscal challenges. “As I’ve said many times,

posed leasing area is currently being used and what specific areas need extra attention,� said James Kendall, BOEM’s Alaska region director. The agency said the proceedings do not mean a final decision to hold a lease sale has been made. The environmental review process is kicking in before the administration has completed a new national fiveyear leasing program, circumventing an established public process for offshore development, Oceana officials said Friday. “Despite the risks of offshore drilling, it appears as though President Trump is charging ahead and that the decision to offer leases for 65 million acres of the Beaufort Sea has already been made, with no regard for the dangers or the established public process,� said Diane Hoskins,

the only thing standing between Alaskans and an income tax is the Senate,� he said at the time. The Senate killed the bill. On Friday, Kelly said he would not rule out a recount. He noted there are still more ballots to come in. “I’m kind of accepting the numbers as final, but any kind of legal path forward, as far as recounts and those kinds of things I haven’t made a decision on those,� Kelly said. He said he’s glad the race is over. “I’ve got a whole bunch of things I need to do that don’t include going down to Juneau,� he said.

Oceana’s campaign director. Former President Barack Obama used executive orders to ban drilling in most U.S. Arctic waters. President Donald Trump in April 2017 signed his own executive order reversing the bans. Environmental groups sued, claiming Trump exceeded his power by reversing the ban on offshore drilling in the Arctic as well as dozens of underwater canyons in the Atlantic Ocean. The case was argued Nov. 9 in Anchorage. The lawsuit contends Congress has authorized presidents to halt drilling in unleased lands of the outer continental shelf but does not allow them to reopen areas. Acting Assistant U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Wood said the law was meant to be flexible. He said it was not intended to bind one president with decisions made by the previous one when determining offshore stewardship. U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason took the case under advisement.

known for its icy waters and extreme conditions. U.S. Rep. Don Young has a home in Fort Yukon, above the Arctic Circle. Most of Alaska’s previous governors took their oaths in Juneau, though former Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 vice presidential nominee, and her successor Sean Parnell, had their ceremonies in the interior town of Fairbanks. This isn’t the first time Noorvik has been in the limelight. It was the first community counted in the 2010 census. Noorvik voted overwhelmingly for Dunleavy in his race against Democrat Mark Begich. Word of Dunleavy’s swearing-in is spreading quickly, and people from surrounding villages are planning to attend, according to Noorvik Mayor Vern Cleveland. “Oh, man. People are excited about it,� he said. “The whole region.� Dunleavy grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and has lived in his adopted state for nearly 35 years. Noorvik is still home to extended family, he said in his statement. Gordon Newlin, Rose Dunleavy’s older brother, is among family living in the region. Newlin said his sister called him to tell him about the upcoming ceremony. The event will be held in the gym of the village school, named

after their late father, Robert Newlin Sr., an Inupiat leader and one of the founders of the NANA Corp., the regional Native corporation. Gordon Newlin is a maintenance worker at the school, where he says people are excited because of his brotherin-law’s years with the Northwest Arctic Borough School District. He also hasn’t seen his sister for at least a year, so her visit will be a bit of a reunion. “It felt great when they selected Noorvik as the place to be,� he said. Dunleavy representatives and Cleveland, the mayor, said the ceremony is still in the planning stages. But one idea Cleveland likes is the possibility of locals using sled dog teams to pick up visitors from the Noorvik airport, as they did in 2010 when census officials and others began counting the nation’s residents there. At the time, residents also hosted a day of festivities with traditional dances, an Inupiat fashion show and a feast of caribou soup, baked bearded seal and other subsistence foods. Multiple entities will take part in the upcoming celebration, including NANA, city, tribal and borough representatives, according to Cleveland. “The whole shebang. Everybody’s involved,� he said. Outgoing Gov. Bill Walker, who dropped his re-election bid last month, said he also plans to attend. “It’s very respectful to the incoming first lady, Rose,� he said of the location choice.

Around Alaska Former juvenile officer convicted of sexually abusing inmate ANCHORAGE — A former juvenile justice officer has been convicted of sexually abusing a 16-year-old inmate at a state detention facility in Anchorage. The Anchorage Daily News reports 50-year-old Phillip Bigham was found guilty Thursday of seven counts of firstdegree sexual abuse of a minor as well as charges of solicitation and attempted escape. According to court documents, Bigham resigned from his job at the McLaughlin Youth Center in November 2015 after he was questioned about outings he took with the female inmate to secluded areas. Prosecutors say Bigham remained in contact with the girl, writing letters planning her escape. The teen later told authorities Bigham had sexually abused her on seven occasions over a four-day period before he left the job. Bigham is scheduled to be sentenced in March. — Associated Press

What Others Say

Counting votes isn’t stealing an election The Florida recounts continue

to move forward with few serious bumps, a credit to local election supervisors, judges and professional law enforcement who have provided a sense of calm, order and faith in government institutions. That stands in stark contrast to the overheated rhetoric from President Donald Trump, Sen. Marco Rubio, Gov. Rick Scott and other Republicans spouting unfounded claims of voter fraud and conspiracy theories. Common sense and fairness require that every legitimate vote be counted, and state law provides a reasonable process for achieving that goal. That’s what’s happening now in a timely manner, and no one — particularly Scott, who continues to narrowly lead the Senate race — benefits from undermining public confidence in the integrity of the electoral process. All 67 counties have until 3 p.m. Thursday to conduct a machine recount of more than 8.2 million combined ballots in statewide races for U.S Senate, governor and agriculture commissioner. Secretary of State Ken Detzner ordered the recount last week in accordance with Florida law, which requires a recount in razor-thin races. At least two of those races — for Senate and agriculture commissioner — could be close enough to force a manual recount, also prescribed under Florida law. Getting an accurate count may take time and effort, but it’s in the overriding public interest, which is why Florida law provides several steps for getting there. Trump has been unhelpful with his uninformed tweets, but Scott and Attorney General Bondi have been particularly disappointing. The termed-out Republican governor should know better than to accuse Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson of trying to steal the election and asking the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate vote-counting in Democratic-rich Broward County. Bondi followed suit Sunday, criticizing the FDLE commissioner, Rick Swearingen, for refusing to investigate “reasonable suspicion” of criminal fraud. Never mind that neither the governor nor attorney general have provided specific evidence of criminal activity. Swearingen deserves credit for pushing back while remaining vigilant. The biggest irregularity to date was the acknowledgement Monday by the elections supervisor in hurricane-ravaged Bay County that he had accepted 11 ballots by email and 147 ballots by fax, even though there is no provision in Florida law that allows it. You don’t hear a peep from Republicans about that. The election supervisors are busy and the environment is toxic enough without adding to the tensions with lawsuits and histrionic allegations that Democrats in South Florida are stealing the election. There are many reasons how we got here — record turnout, confusing ballot styles in some counties, varied practices for accepting mail-in ballots, mistakes by local supervisors, notably Broward County’s Brenda Snipes. But there is a difference between apparent incompetence in Broward and outright corruption. Broward Circuit Judge Jack Tuter rejected Scott’s request Monday to have the police impound voting machines and ballots when they were not in use, suggesting that extra deputies could provide adequate security. The judge also called for toning down the rhetoric. “These words mean things these days,” he said, “as everybody in the room knows.” Scott and Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis continue to lead the statewide vote by narrow margins, and to his credit DeSantis has been more patient and appropriately restrained during the recount. Between 2000 and 2016, there were 4,687 statewide general elections and just 26 statewide recounts. Only three of those recounts reversed the initial result, according to the nonpartisan group FairVote. Counting every vote and then recounting the vote to ensure its accuracy is not redoing an election. It’s the lawful way for getting it right. That must be the priority.

Trump’s dog-eat-dog world

I’m always amazed that the Washington types I consider to be such jerks are completely different when I run into them at a dog park. They’re actually pleasant to be around. Our canine kids certainly are a good influence. I find it interesting that President Donald Trump and his family don’t have any puppies, not even the ones that most politicians trot out for warm and fuzzy photo ops or campaign ads. But not Trump, maybe because he doesn’t do warm and fuzzy. Or perhaps it’s because he’s a major-league germaphobe and is worried about rabies. Come to think of it, though, given some of the personalities in his administration, that’s probably not it. There’s some question about whether Harry Truman actually said it or not, but it’s still worth noting: “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” Donald Trump is no Harry Truman, to put it mildly. In addition, he clearly doesn’t care about having friends in Washington, or for that matter, anywhere beyond the rallies where crowds howl their approval nonstop, no matter how he foams at the mouth. He’s foaming a lot lately, growling constantly about how he can’t control the media packs no matter how he tries to intimidate them. Even pulling a White House pass from that hot dog Jim Acosta didn’t cause Acosta or anybody else to cower. And when he tried his alpha act in Paris, French President Emmanuel

Macron, who previously had tried to be friendly, seemed determined to prove that he is not Trump’s “poodle.” For those who don’t remember, that was the scornful label attached to BritBob Franken ish Prime Minister Tony Blair, because he was perceived to support anything President Bill Clinton would do. Not this time around. In fact, Macron seemed to go out of his way to embarrass The Donald, particularly when in front of several world leaders he challenged Trump’s embrace of the loaded term “nationalist.” “Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism,” said Macron through a translator. “By saying ‘our interests first, who cares about the others,’ we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great and what is essential: its moral values.” That was the French president marking his territory, if you get my drift. The trip to Paris to mark Armistice Day, the end of World War I’s 100th anniversary, already was a disaster for the Trumpster. When it came time to travel a short distance from Paris to an American cemetery near the site of a particularly bloody battle, the president of the United States canceled

— it was raining. At the same time, various European leaders were fanning out to their own solemn ceremonies at sacred sites along the so-called Western Front. These days, the United States seems to be shoving Western democracies to the rear in favor of the autocrats Trump tries to imitate. So, another trip overseas, another embarrassment. But finally President Trump was safely ensconced in his home kennel. Back in the day, he used to be quite the horndog, at least according to his PR. But these days, instead of sniffing whatevers, he tweets: “The problem is that Emmanuel suffers from a very low Approval Rating in France, 26 percent, and an unemployment rate of almost 10 percent. He was just trying to get onto another subject. By the way, there is no country more Nationalist than France, very proud people-and rightfully so!……..” Take that, Macron! As for skipping that ceremony because of weather, he blamed the Secret Service. No comment from Secret Service officials; they rarely do. Now the president can start taking a bite out of the high levels of his administration, dumping all those who have displeased him. We can expect more than two more years of this, as “Bulldog” Trump (many think he looks like one) wavers between snarling and whimpering as he hounds everyone who raises a leg against him.

Time to give up invocation fight

How much more money is the Kenai Peninsula Borough willing to spend on defending a discriminatory and unconstitutional prayer policy? The answer from some Assembly members appears to be “much more.” Last month Superior Court Judge Andrew Peterson ruled in favor of three Borough residents who had been denied their requests to present invocations at Assembly meetings. Their denials were based on a policy narrowly adopted in 2016, which limited official invocation prayers to be delivered only by Chaplains or representatives of “approved religious associations.” After adopting this policy and overriding a veto by thenMayor Mike Navarre, the Assembly was warned the policy was unconstitutional and would likely be challenged in court. Sure enough, when Borough residents started to apply and were denied based on their religious affiliation, a lawsuit (Hunt v KPB) was filed in State Superior Court. After a lengthy period of court procedures, Judge Peterson finally issued a decision on Oct. 9. He clearly ruled the policy a violation of the Establishment Clause of our Alaska Constitution requiring the Borough to take corrective action. Not only have the actions of the Assembly — Tampa Bay Times, Nov. 13 caused divisiveness among our residents,

they have also resulted in tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money being wasted on legal fees. What was originally sold to the Borough as “pro bono” legal representation by the Alliance Defending Freedom (an Arizona-based Christian activist law firm) has cost taxpayers $26,882.46 to date, a

V oices of the

P eninsula W illy D unne far cry from the “free” legal defense we’d been promised. Other legal issues surrounding the invocation have cost us too. Public records show payments to three law firms dealing with invocation issues other than Hunt v KPB have totaled $44,391.46. Additionally Borough staff time from the legal department, information technology and the clerk’s office was estimated at 183 hours (costing over $15,000) in the first few months of the controversy. Staff time was not tracked after February 2017, so we will never

know the value of public employees’ salaries wasted on this issue. Finally, and not insignificantly, there is the Borough’s obligation to reimburse plaintiffs’ legal fees after losing a constitutional court argument, another unknown but pending cost to be paid with your hard-earned tax dollars. So, instead of admitting that the policy was wrong (i.e. discriminatory and unconstitutional), some Assembly members are preparing to spend even more of your money to appeal the case to the Alaska Supreme Court. Who knows how much that will cost us and how much longer it will drag out the controversy? I have heard loudly and clearly from many constituents: “Stop spending my tax dollars defending a government policy on prayer.” We have a number of options to comply with the court order and move on. One option is to open the invocation to anyone, regardless of religious belief or non-belief. Perhaps the most equitable solution is to convert the invocation into a moment of silent contemplation. Whichever solution we eventually adopt, I hope we can all agree that throwing more money at the problem is unacceptable. Willy Dunne represents District 9 on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly.

Trump tours Paradise area, calls wildfire a ‘really bad one’ By JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press

PARADISE, Calif. — From the ashes of a mobile home and RV park, President Donald Trump said Saturday he came to the heart of California’s killer wildfire to fully grasp the scale of the desolation wrought on the landscape. “We’re going to have to work quickly. … Hopefully this is going to be the last of these because this was a really, really bad one,” said the president, standing amid the crumpled foundations of homes and twisted steel of melted cars. “I think everybody’s seen the light and I don’t think we’ll have this again to this extent,” Trump said in Paradise, the town largely destroyed by a wildfire ignited Nov. 8 that he called “this monster.” With that bold and perhaps unlikely prediction, Trump pledged that improved forest management practices will diminish future risks. The declaration evoked his initial tweeted reaction to the fire, the worst in the state’s history, in which he seemed to blame local officials and threatened to take away federal funding. When asked if seeing the historic devastation, which stretched for miles and left neighborhoods destroyed and fields scorched, altered his opinion on climate change, Trump answered, “No.” The president has long voiced skepticism about man’s impact on the climate and has been reluctant to assign blame to a warming earth for the increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters. At least 71 people died across Northern California, and authorities are trying to locate more than 1,000 people, though not all are believed missing. More than 5,500 fire personnel were battling the blaze that covered 228 square miles and was about 50 percent contained, officials said. For Trump, it was a day to comfort a state grieving from twin tragedies, wildfires in both Northern and Southern California as well as a mass shooting at a popular college bar north of

Trump says written responses go to Mueller team next week By JONATHAN LEMIRE and CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press

Los Angeles. Wearing a camouflage “USA” hat, Trump gazed solemnly at the devastation in Paradise. Several burned-out buses and cars were nearby. Trees were burned, their branches bare and twisted. Homes were totally gone; some foundations remained, as did a chimney and, in front of one house, a Mickey Mouse lawn ornament. The fire was reported to have moved through the area at 80 mph. “It’s going to work out well, but right now we want to take of the people that are so badly hurt,” Trump said visiting what remained of the Skyway Villa Mobile Home and RV Park. He noted “there are areas you can’t even get to them yet” and the sheer number of people unaccounted for. “I think people have to see this really to understand it,” Trump said. The president later toured an operation centers, met with response commanders and praised the work of firefighters, law enforcement and representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “We’ve never seen anything

like this in California,” he said. “It’s total devastation.” Trump took a helicopter tour en route to Chico before he toured Paradise. A full cover of haze and the smell of smoke greeted the president upon his arrival at Beale Air Force Base near Sacramento. “They’re out there fighting and they’re fighting like hell,” Trump said of the first responders. He pledged that Washington would do its part by coming to the Golden State’s aid and urged the House’s Republican leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, a Trump ally and frequent White House visitor, to “come to the office” to help secure the needed funding. Trump, who left Washington early Saturday and didn’t expect to return to the White House until well past midnight, planned to travel several hundred miles south to visit with victims of a recent country music bar shooting. A gunman killed a dozen people at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks on Nov. 7 before committing suicide. Trump long has struggled to convey empathy to victims of national disasters and tragedies. His first reaction to the fires came in a tweet last week that drew criti-

cism as unnecessarily critical and tone-deaf given the devastation: “There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests.” Nature and humans share blame for the wildfires, but fire scientists are divided as to whether forest management played a major role. Nature provides the dangerous winds that have whipped the fires, the state has been in a drought and humancaused climate change over the long haul is killing and drying the shrubs and trees that provide the fuel. He stuck to that theme in his remarks just before departing on Saturday when he outlined what he planned to discuss with Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov-elect Gavin Newsom, both Democrats: “We will be talking about forest management. … The one thing is that everybody now knows that this is what we have to be doing and there’s no question about it. It should have been done many years ago, but I think everybody’s on the right side.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he “very easily” answered written questions from special counsel Robert Mueller, though he speculated that the questions had been “tricked up” to try to catch him in a lie. “They’re all done,” Trump told reporters at the White House early Saturday before leaving for California, adding that his responses will soon be submitted to Mueller’s team. “We do that next week,” he said, in what signals a new phase of the inquiry. In a swipe the day before at the investigation into 2016 election interference and possible ties between Moscow and the Trump campaign, the president said that “you have to always be careful when you answer questions with people that probably have bad intentions.” Mueller has signaled a willingness to accept written answers on matters related to collusion with Russia. Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has said repeatedly the president would not answer Mueller’s questions on possible obstruction of justice. During months of back-andforth negotiations with the special counsel office, Trump’s lawyers have repeatedly counseled the president against sitting down for an in-person interview. Mueller’s year-and-a-halflong investigation has produced guilty pleas and convictions from several top Trump aides even as the special counsel and the White House have engaged in lengthy negotiations about how — or if — the president would testify. Though he spent hours with his attorneys, Trump on Friday insisted: “My lawyers don’t write answers, I write answers.” The president’s remarks were fresh evidence of his return to the ominous rhythms of the Russia probe after spending heady weeks enjoying adulation-soaked campaign rallies before the midterm elections. Despite Trump’s insistence that he’s “very happy” with how things are going, his frustrations with the probe have been evi-

dent everywhere from his Twitter feed this past week to his private grousing that the special counsel may target his family. There’s also the criticism he’s getting over his choice for acting attorney general, as well as late-arriving election results that have largely been tipping toward House Democrats. “The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess,” Trump tweeted Thursday. The investigators don’t care “how many lives they can ruin,” he wrote. A day later, he tried to put a rosier shine on the situation, telling reporters: “I’m sure it will be just fine.” The president continued to maintain his innocence while launching new broadsides. After a relative lull in the runup to the midterms, the Russia probe has returned to the forefront of Washington conversation. There has been widespread media coverage of two Trump allies — Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi — who say they expect to be charged. The president has expressed concerns behind closed doors that Mueller is closing in on his inner circle, including potentially his eldest son. For months, Trump has told confidants he fears that Donald Trump Jr., perhaps inadvertently, broke the law by being untruthful with investigators in the aftermath of a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Kremlinconnected lawyer, according to one Republican close to the White House. Trump has also complained about efforts in the Senate by his longtime foe, Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, to introduce legislation to protect the special counsel, according to the officials and Republicans. Additionally, Trump has told confidants in recent days that he is deeply frustrated by widespread criticism of his choice of Matthew Whitaker for acting attorney general, according to four officials and Republicans close to the White House who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Whitaker has been a vocal opponent of the special counsel probe.

Florida sues Walgreens, CVS over opioid sales By TERRY SPENCER Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida is suing the nation’s two largest drugstore chains, Walgreens and CVS, alleging they added to the state and national opioid crisis by overselling painkillers and not taking precautions to stop illegal sales. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced late Friday that she has added the companies to a state-court lawsuit filed last spring against Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, and several opioid distributors. Bondi said in a press release that CVS and Walgreens

“played a role in creating the opioid crisis.” She said the companies failed to stop “suspicious orders of opioids” and “dispensed unreasonable quantities of opioids from their pharmacies.” On average, about 45 people die nationally each day because of opioid overdoses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We will continue to pursue those companies that played a role in creating the opioid crisis,” said Bondi, who has been mentioned as a possible replacement by President Donald Trump for recently ousted U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

“Thousands of Floridians have suffered as a result of the actions of the defendants.” CVS spokesman Mike DeAngelis called the lawsuit “without merit” in a statement Saturday. He said the company trains its pharmacists and their assistants about their responsibilities when dispensing controlled substances and gives them tools to detect potentially illegal sales. “Over the past several years, CVS has taken numerous actions to strengthen our existing safeguards to help address the nation’s opioid epidemic,” DeAngelis said. Walgreens said Saturday it

doesn’t comment on pending lawsuits. Until a law enforcement crackdown at the beginning of the decade, Florida was known for its so-called pain mills. Drug dealers from throughout the country would send associates to store-front clinics where unscrupulous doctors would write opioid prescriptions for bogus injuries and illnesses. At one point, 90 of the nation’s top 100 opioid prescribers were Florida doctors, according to federal officials. After receiving the prescriptions, the phony patients would buy the pills from Florida pharmacies — state law says phar-

Space station supplies launched By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A load of space station supplies rocketed into orbit from Virginia on Saturday, the second shipment in two days. And another commercial delivery should be on its way in a couple weeks. “What an outstanding launch,” said NASA’s deputy space station program manager, Joel Montalbano. Northrop Grumman launched its Antares rocket from Wallops Island before dawn, delighting chilly earlybird observers along the Atlantic coast. The Russian Space Agency launched its own sup-

plies to the International Space Station on Friday, just 15 hours earlier. The U.S. delivery will arrive at the orbiting lab Monday, a day after the Russian shipment. Among the 7,400 pounds of goods inside the Cygnus capsule: ice cream and fresh fruit for the three space station residents, and a 3D printer that recycles old plastic into new parts. Thanksgiving turkey dinners — rehydratable, of course — are already aboard the 250-mile-high outpost. The space station is currently home to an American, a German and a Russian. There’s another big event coming up, up there: The space

station marks its 20th year in orbit on Tuesday. The first section launched on Nov. 20, 1998, from Kazakhstan. “As we celebrate 20 years of the International Space Station,” Montalbano noted, “one of the coolest things is the cooperation we have across the globe.” Then there’s the U.S. commercial effort to keep the space station stocked and, beginning next year, to resume crew launches from Cape Canaveral. “To me, it’s been a huge success,” he said. This Cygnus, or Swan, is named the S.S. John Young to honor the legendary astronaut who walked on the moon and commanded the first space shuttle flight. He died in January.

It is the first commercial cargo ship to bear Northrop Grumman’s name. Northrop Grumman acquired Orbital ATK in June. SpaceX is NASA’s other commercial shipper for the space station; its Dragon capsule is set to lift off in early December. Experiments arriving via the Cygnus will observe how cement solidifies in weightlessness, among other things. There’s also medical, spacesuit and other equipment to replace items that never made it to orbit last month because of a Russian rocket failure; the two men who were riding the rocket survived their emergency landing. Three other astronauts are set to launch from Kazakhstan on Dec. 3.

macists must refuse to fill prescriptions they suspect are not for a valid purpose. Most of the opioids would then be taken out of state to be resold illegally at huge markups, creating a drug crisis in many communities throughout the Eastern United States. According to the lawsuit, Walgreens has dispensed billions of opioid dosages from its Florida pharmacies since 2006. The Illinois-based chain is the nation’s largest drugstore chain and has more than 13,200 stores globally. The company distributed 2.2 million opioid tablets from its store in Hudson, a Tampa-area

town of 12,000, and in one unidentified town of 3,000, sold 285,000 pills in a month, the lawsuit says. In some stores, its opioid sales jumped six-fold in two years. The company paid $80 million five years ago to resolve a federal investigation that centered on inadequate record keeping of its Florida opioid sales that allowed the pills to reach the black market. Florida’s accusations against CVS were more general, saying it sold 700 million opioid dosages between 2006 and 2014, including outsized sales in Hudson and two other nearby towns. The Rhode Island-based chain has more than 9,800 stores.

Around the Nation Fire at apartments for seniors traps some people; 13 hurt LITTLETON, Colo. — A fire in a suburban Denver apartment complex for seniors created smoke so thick it trapped some people in their homes early Saturday, injuring more than a dozen people, including three seriously, authorities said. Police officers and firefighters guided residents out through smoky hallways at the Littleton community for people age 55 and older, South Metro Fire Rescue spokesman Eric Hurst said. Residents of upper floors waited for an allclear on their balconies, away from the heavy smoke. The fire reported early in the morning was contained to a first-floor unit inside the six-story building. At least 13 people were taken to hospitals, including three in serious condition, Hurst said. Ten others were in stable condition. Authorities told Denver news station KCNC-TV that at least one person was hurt jumping from a second-floor balcony. They said others suffered smoke inhalation. — Associated Press

Migrants get cool reception in Mexican border town By JULIE WATSON Associated Press

TIJUANA, Mexico — Many of the nearly 3,000 Central American migrants who have reached the Mexican border with California via caravan said Saturday they do not feel welcome in the city of Tijuana, where hundreds more migrants are headed after more than a month on the road. The vast majority were camped at an outdoor sports complex, sleeping on a dirt baseball field and under bleachers with a view of the steel walls topped by barbed wire at the newly reinforced U.S.Mexico border. The city opened the complex after other shelters were filled to capacity. Church groups provided portable showers, bathrooms and sinks. The federal government estimates the migrant crowd in Tijuana could soon swell to 10,000. Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum has called the migrants’ arrival an “avalanche” that the city is ill-prepared to handle, calculating that they will be in Tijuana for at least six months as they wait to file asylum claims. U.S. border inspectors are processing only about 100 asylum claims a day at Tijuana’s main crossing to San Diego. Asylum seekers register their names in a tattered notebook managed by migrants themselves that had more than 3,000 names even before the caravan arrived. While many in Tijuana are sympathetic to the migrants’ plight and trying to assist, some

locals have shouted insults, hurled rocks and even thrown punches at the migrants. It’s a stark contrast to the many Mexican communities that welcomed the caravan with signs, music and donations of clothing after it entered Mexico nearly a month ago. Countless residents of rural areas pressed fruit and bags of water into the migrants’ hands as they passed through southern Mexico, wishing them safe journeys. Alden Rivera, the Honduran ambassador in Mexico, visited the outdoor sports complex Saturday. Rivera expects the mi-

grants will need to be sheltered for eight months or more, and said he is working with Mexico to get more funds to feed and care for them. He expects the migrant numbers in Tijuana to reach 3,400 over the weekend, with another 1,200 migrants having made it to Mexicali, another border city a few hours to the east of Tijuana. An additional 1,500 migrants plan to reach the U.S. border region next week. Rivera said 1,800 Hondurans have returned to their country since the caravan first set out on Oct. 13, and that he hopes more

will make that decision. “We want them to return to Honduras,” Rivera said, adding that each migrant must weigh whether to go home, appeal for asylum in Mexico or wait in line to apply for asylum in the U.S. The Mexican Interior Ministry said Friday that 2,697 Central American migrants have requested asylum in Mexico under a program that the country launched on Oct. 26 to more quickly get them credentials needed to live, work and study in southern Mexico.

Argentina minister says country without means to rescue sub By ALMUDENA CALATRAVA Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Hours after announcing the discovery of an Argentine submarine lost deep in the Atlantic a year ago with 44 crew members aboard, the government said Saturday that it is unable to recover the vessel, drawing anger from missing sailors’ relatives who demanded that it be raised. Defense Minister Oscar Aguad said at a press conference that the country lacks “modern technology” capable of “verifying the seabed” to extract the ARA San Juan, which was found 907 meters (2,975 feet) deep in waters off the Valdes Peninsula in Argentine Patagonia, roughly 600 kilometers (373 miles) from the port city of Comodoro Rivadavia.

Earlier in the morning, the navy said a “positive identification” had been made by a remote-operated submersible from the American company Ocean Infinity. The company, commissioned by the Argentine government, began searching for the missing vessel Sept. 7. It remained unclear what the next steps could be. In a statement to The Associated Press, Ocean Infinity CEO Oliver Plunkett said authorities would have to determine how to advance. “We would be pleased to assist with a recovery operation but at the moment are focused on completing imaging of the debris field,” he said. Navy commander Jose Luis Villan urged “prudence,” saying that a federal judge was overseeing the investigation and would be the one to decide whether it was possible to re-

cover a part or the entirety of the ship. Without adequate technological capabilities, however, Argentina would likely need to seek assistance from foreign countries or pay Ocean Infinity or another company, potentially complicating its recent commitment to austerity. Argentina is currently facing a currency crisis and double-digit inflation that has led the government to announce sweeping measures to balance the budget and concretize a financing deal with the International Monetary Fund. Any move to recuperate the vessel would also be a logistically large and challenging undertaking based on the submarine’s distance from the coast, its depth, and the kind of seabed upon which it is resting. Relatives of crew members were determined to fight for it

to be quickly surfaced. Isabel Vilca, the half sister of crewman Daniel Alejandro Polo, told the AP that the discovery was just the beginning. She said families need to recover the remains of their loved ones to know what happened and help prevent similar tragedies. “We do know they can get it out because Ocean Infinity told us they can, that they have equipment,” said Luis Antonio Niz, father of crew member Luis Niz. “If they sent him off, I want them to bring him back to me.” The sub’s discovery was announced just two days after families of the missing sailors held a one-year commemoration for its disappearance on Nov. 15, 2017. The San Juan was returning to its base in the coastal city of Mar del Plata when contact was lost.

Trump administration denies reaching conclusion on Khashoggi By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration denied on Saturday that it had reached a final determination in the death of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi. After President Donald Trump called his CIA chief and top diplomat from Air Force One as he flew to survey wildfire damage in California, the State Department released a statement saying “recent reports indicating that the U.S. government has made a final conclusion are inaccurate.” American intelligence agencies have concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing in the Saudi Consulate in Turkey, according to a U.S. official familiar with the assessment. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity Friday. The conclusion was

UK leader fights back against critics amid Brexit upheaval

first reported by The Washington Post. The Saudi government has denied the claim. Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in the statement Saturday that the government was “determined to hold all those responsible for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi accountable” and that “there remain numerous unanswered questions with respect to the murder.” She said the department “will continue to seek all relevant facts” and consult with Congress and other nations “to hold accountable those involved in the killing.” Trump spoke earlier with CIA Director Gina Haspel and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from Air Force One, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said. She provided no details but said the president has confidence in the CIA. Trump told reporters before he left the White House for Cal-

ifornia that, when it came to the crown prince, “as of this moment we were told that he did not play a role. We’re going to have to find out what they have to say.” In his remarks, the president spoke of Saudi Arabia as “a truly spectacular ally in terms of jobs and economic development.” “I have to take a lot of things into consideration” when deciding what measures to take against the kingdom, he said. The State Department statement noted the administration’s recent actions against a number of Saudis, but also cited the need to maintain “the important strategic relationship” between the two allies. The intelligence agencies’ conclusion will bolster efforts in Congress to further punish the close U.S. ally for the killing. The administration this past week penalized 17 Saudi officials for their alleged role in the killing, but American

lawmakers have called on the administration to curtail arms sales to Saudi Arabia or take other harsher punitive measures. Saudi Arabia’s top diplomat has said the crown prince had “absolutely” nothing to do with the killing. Vice President Mike Pence told reporters traveling with him at a summit of Pacific Rim nations in Papua New Guinea that he could not comment on “classified information.” He said Saturday “the murder of Jamal Khashoggi was an atrocity. It was also an affront to a free and independent press, and the United States is determined to hold all of those accountable who are responsible for that murder.” The United States will “follow the facts,” Pence said, while trying to find a way of preserving a “strong and historic partnership” with Saudi Arabia.

LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May fought back against critics of her Brexit deal Saturday, telling opponents from within her party their alternative plans for Britain’s departure from the European Union wouldn’t work. May is battling to win over rebels in her Conservative Party and and to preserve her position as prime minister after a grueling week in which party members plotted to oust her and two Cabinet ministers quit within hours of her government striking the long-sought divorce agreement with the EU. In a public relations offensive, May revealed in a Daily Mail interview how her husband supported her during “a pretty heavy couple of days.” Calling her husband, Philip, her “rock,” May said that when the Conservative revolt erupted Wednesday, the first thing he did was pour her a whisky. She also laid into political opponents, saying their ideas for resolving the biggest stumbling block in EU-U.K. negotiations — avoiding a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland after Brexit — wouldn’t resolve the problem. “People say, ‘If you could only just do something slightly different, have a Norway model or a Canada model, this backstop issue would go away.’ It would not. That issue is still going to be there,” May said in the interview , published Saturday. “Some politicians get so embroiled in the intricacies of their argument they forget it is not about this theory or that theory, or does it make me look good,” she added. While May appeared to have survived the week, her headaches are far from over. Disaffected “Brexiteers” think they have the numbers required to

trigger a challenge to her leadership within days. They are aiming for 48 letters of no confidence, the number needed for a vote under Conservative Party rules. So far, more than 20 lawmakers have publicly said they submitted such letters. One of them, Mark Francois, complained that May’s draft deal would leave Britain with the worst outcome — “half in and half out” of the EU. He said it would never be approved in Parliament, where May’s Conservatives do not have a majority. Like Francois, many proBrexit Conservatives are pushing for a clean break with the EU and argue that the close trade ties between the U.K. and the EU called for in the deal would leave Britain a vassal state. As it stands, the draft agreement sees Britain leaving the EU as planned on March 29 but remaining inside the bloc’s single market and bound by its rules until the end of December 2020. It also commits the two sides to the contentious “backstop” solution, which would keep the U.K. in a customs arrangement with the EU as a guarantee the Irish border remained free of customs checkpoints. British media reported that several pro-Brexit senior Conservatives, including House of Commons leader Andrea Leadsom, were trying to persuade May to renegotiate the divorce deal in a way they find more acceptable. Leadsom told Sky News Saturday “there is still more to be done” to get “the best possible deal for the U.K.” before the draft withdrawal agreement is signed off on Nov. 25 in Brussels. She didn’t elaborate. The deal also requires approval from Britain’s Parliament before the U.K. leaves the bloc.

Around the Nation Climate change protesters block off 5 London bridges LONDON — Hundreds of protesters have turned out in central London and blocked off the capital’s main bridges to demand the government take climate change seriously. A group called “Extinction Rebellion” encouraged sitins on the bridges Saturday as part of a coordinated week of action across the country. Metropolitan Police said emergency vehicles were hampered from getting across London because of the “blockade” of five bridges. The force said it had asked all protesters to congregate at Westminster Bridge where officers can facilitate lawful protest. About two dozen people were arrested on Monday after protesters blocked traffic and glued themselves to gates outside the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

Cyclone kills 33 in India with thousands in relief camps NEW DELHI — A powerful cyclone in southern India has killed at least 33 people, caused massive damage to homes and roads and drove tens of thousands of people into relief camps, officials said. India’s navy assigned two ships and a helicopter for relief work as state authorities rushed drinking water, food and paramedics to nearly 82,000 people who took shelter in more than 400 state-run camps. They were evacuated from areas in the path of Cyclone Gaja, which struck six districts of Tamil Nadu state on Friday with heavy rains and winds that reached 55 miles per hour. Rescuers found 13 bodies Friday and an additional 20 on Saturday, said Edappadi Palaniswami, the state’s top elected official. Most deaths were caused by flooding, house collapses and electrocution. The cyclone uprooted 30,000 electricity poles and more than 100,000 trees, he said. Nearly 10,000 workers were trying to restore electricity supply to the worst-hit areas, he said. Palaniswami said a large number of goats, deer and wild animals had also perished in the flooding over the past two days. Coconut trees over thousands of acres of farmland have been uprooted, according to Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam, a farmers’ organization. Tamil Nadu state is prone to cyclones that develop in the Bay of Bengal. — Associated Press

Amazon’s would-be NY neighbors: 1 dead, scores injured in fuel tax protests Cynicism, some hope for jobs around France By DEEPTI HAJELA Associated Press

By ELAINE GANLEY Associated Press

NEW YORK — Shawn Smith has heard the promises before. When new hotels sprang up near the public housing complex in Queens where he’s lived for 17 years, residents were told they would bring jobs and economic opportunity. He hasn’t seen any of it. So he’s cynical about the announcement this week that Amazon will build a headquarters for 25,000 workers on the Long Island City waterfront, a half mile from his home. Elected officials gleefully promised that Amazon’s presence will buoy all of western Queens. Smith is not so sure. “The hotels here, they’re not hiring nobody. They’re bringing their own kind,” said Smith, who commutes to a construction job in New Jersey. “That’s how I feel about Amazon.” His wasn’t the only skeptical voice among the roughly 6,400 residents of the Queensbridge Houses, the largest public housing complex in the U.S. Residents, most of whom are black or Hispanic, expressed hope that there might be something for them in Amazon’s hiring bonanza to offset the pressures of neighborhood gentrification. But they are taking the promised opportunity with a grain of salt. “Let’s see if they hire from around here,” said Fontaine White, 54, who has lived in Queensbridge for eight years. “I think it’s a good idea, provided you remember we live here, too. If you put Amazon in Long Island City, we’re part of Long Island City.” City and state officials promised at least $2.8 billion in tax credits and grants to lure Amazon to Queens, where it would occupy a new campus

PARIS — One protester was killed and 227 other people were injured — eight seriously — at roadblocks set up around villages, towns and cities across France on Saturday as citizens angry with rising fuel taxes rose up in a grassroots movement, posing a new challenge to beleaguered President Emmanuel Macron. Police officers lobbed tear gas canisters at demonstrators on the famed Champs-Elysees Avenue in Paris as groups of “yellow jackets,” as the protesters called themselves, tried to make their way to the presidential Elysee Palace. Later, hundreds of protesters entered the bottom of the street dotted with luxury shops where the palace is located — and where Macron lives — before being pushed back by security forces with shields. In a similar scenario, police cleared out the huge traffic circle around the Arc de Triomphe, paralyzed for hours by protesters. French Interior Ministry officials counted nearly 283,000 protesters, mostly peaceful, throughout the day at more than 2,000 sites, some setting bonfires or flying balloons. However, some demonstrations turned violent. In Troyes, southeast of Paris, about 100 people invaded the prefecture, the local representation of the state, damaging the inside, Interior Ministry officials said. In Quimper, in Brittany, security forces used water cannon to disperse hostile protesters. The protester who died, a 63-year-old woman, was killed when a driver caught in the blockade accelerated in a panic at Pont-de-Beauvoisin, near Chambery, in eastern France, according to Louis Laugier, the prefect, or top state official, in the Savoie

built around a formerly industrial boat basin. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, both Democrats, have heralded the deal as good for everyone. De Blasio, who won office on promises to address the widening gap between rich and poor in the city, said Amazon has pledged to give money for job training programs for public housing residents, provide space for a new school and pay into a city fund that will be used for projects that benefit the community. “When you add that kind of number (of jobs) into our economy, you’re opening a lot of opportunity for everyday people,” de Blasio said Friday during his weekly appearance on the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC

radio. He said Amazon’s presence would lead to “a lot of jobs for young people coming out of our public schools, coming out of public housing, coming out of city universities. And that’s crucial to addressing inequality.” The big government incentives for Amazon have sharply split the Democrats who dominate state politics. U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer issued a statement in support of the deal. The state’s junior Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, tweeted that “one of the wealthiest companies in history should not be receiving financial assistance from the taxpayers while too many New York families struggle to make ends meet.” The city councilman and state senator representing Long Island City are exploring ways to try to

block the subsidies. About 100 people attended a protest of the deal this week. New Yorkers who ride the subway through Queens have wondered how the neighborhood will handle additional commuters. The station closest to where Amazon would be located already has an average daily ridership of 23,672, making it among the system’s busiest. Queensbridge Houses has also factored heavily in the public discussion. For decades, the 26-building housing project in the shadow of the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge was known for being a rough place. It factored big in Hip Hop history, producing talents including Marley Marl, Roxanne Shante, Nas, and Havoc of the rap duo Mobb Deep.

Beloved toy store FAO Schwarz makes its comeback By VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press

NEW YORK — Three years after it closed its beloved toy store on Fifth Avenue, FAO Schwarz has returned to New York. A new FAO opened Friday in Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center, about 10 blocks from its former home near Central Park. For more than 150 years, FAO Schwarz was known in New York City for its classy and sometimes extravagantly expensive toys. The fantasyland store it opened on Fifth Avenue in 1986 was a tourist attraction, replete with its own theme song, doormen who looked like palace guards and a musical clock tower. Financial problems at the parent company and rising rents closed that store in 2015, but FAO is now pulling back from the worst financial precipice since it was

founded in 1862. In recent weeks at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, workers drilled, hammered and sawed 24 hours a day to get the new store ready. Employees filled shelves with hundreds of plush animals that have long defined the brand — bears, bunnies, elephants, chicks and more. The big entrance clock tower has returned. And on the second level of the 20,000-square-foot space is a giant piano keyboard mat like the one on which Tom Hanks danced to “Heart and Soul” in the 1988 film “Big.” The 20-foot-long instrument with 60 keys is reflected on the ceiling for people in the plaza below to see. Replicas for sale cost $128. There is also a toy grocery store where children can shop among artificial produce, complete with small carts, a checkout counter and kitchen supplies. For $75, another interactive station allows kids

to adopt baby dolls, while a “nurse” gives lessons on how to care for them. Live magic shows will be staged nearby, next to a spot for assembling custom remote-control cars. A 27-foot-tall rocket ship teems with stuffed bear astronauts. “We are about experiences. That’s what’s different from other toy stores,” said David Niggli, FAO’s chief merchandising officer. In a global marketing push, pop-up FAO shops are also opening for the holidays in England, Spain and Australia. A March rollout is planned for a permanent store at a mall in Beijing in addition to smaller retail locations in airports and elsewhere across the U.S. and Canada. FAO Schwarz has gone through multiple corporate takeovers in recent years as retailers struggled to adapt to online sales. It was purchased in 2002 by Right Start Inc., which

US industrial production ticks up 0.1 percent in October WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. industry expanded slightly in October, with manufacturing growth offsetting declines in mining and utility production. Industrial production ticked up a modest 0.1 percent last month, the Federal Reserve reported Friday. It was the fifth straight monthly gain and left output up 4.1 percent on a yearover-year basis. The Fed said that recent hurricanes lowered production by about 0.1 percentage point in both September and October. The economy has been growing at a solid rate this year. The gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 3.5 percent in

the July-September quarter, with manufacturing contributing to the momentum. But there are concerns that the strong dollar and a slowdown in global growth could hurt future U.S. export sales. There are also worries about labor shortages and the impact of President Donald Trump’s get-tough trade policies, which have featured higher tariffs on aluminum and steel along with penalty tariffs on a range of Chinese goods. China. Other countries have already retaliated with penalty tariffs on American products. Andrew Hunter, U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said that the new report “provides

further evidence that economic growth is set for a gradual slowdown in the fourth quarter.” Based on the industrial production report, economists at Macroeconomic Advisers trimmed their expectation for GDP growth in the current October-December quarter from a 2.6 percent rate down to 2.5 percent. That would be a full percentage point below the third quarter’s 3.5 percent growth rate. Factory output was up 0.3 percent in October, matching the previous month despite a big drop in auto production, which fell 2.8 percent last month. It was the second decline for the auto sector in the past four months.

filed for bankruptcy twice. Toys “R” Us was the next owner. It sold the FAO name to the California-based ThreeSixty Brands in 2016 before recently declaring bankruptcy itself. FAO was founded in 1862 by German immigrant Frederick August Otto Schwarz, specializing in high-end toys, some imported from Europe. By the 20th century, in stores across the country, fancy items included a $1,500 jeweled Etch-A-Sketch and a Barbiethemed, hot pink foosball table for $25,000. There are a few extravagant items to be had in the new store but plenty of modestly priced items, too. “We have beautiful artisan pieces here, like rocking horses, but we also have items that are $10,” Niggli said. “There’s always going to be some of those over-the-top items. I think that’s part of what you come to FAO to see. It’s part of the magic.”

region. A confrontation with protesters “got heated up for no reason” and the driver accelerated her minivan after “people started rattling her car,” a protester who witnessed the incident told BFMTV, identifying himself only as Philippe. He said the woman told them she was taking her daughter to a doctor. An investigation into the death was opened. Eight of the 227 people injured were in serious condition, ministry officials said at an evening briefing, without providing details. A police officer and a firefighter who intervened when protesters attacked a closed service station were among the eight. A total of 117 people were arrested with 73 of them held for questioning. The protesters had pledged to target tollbooths, roundabouts and other strategic traffic sites. They called themselves “yellow jackets” because most were wearing the fluorescent yellow vests that must be kept in vehicles of all French drivers in case of car troubles. The daughter of the woman killed called for calm as she protested in Cavaillon, in southern France. “I really want people not to let themselves become submerged by anger,” Alexandrine Mazet told RTL radio. “The yellow jackets must understand this is a peaceful movement,” she said. The young woman appeared later on BFMTV still wearing her yellow vest. The nationwide protest was unusual because it arose from within the citizenry, backed neither by unions nor politicians, although some took part in a clear bid for supporters. It was unclear whether the upstart movement, without a leader, would survive, and what problems it might pose for Macron.

Ketchikan couple have measured much weather over time By DANELLE LANDIS Ketchikan Daily News

KETCHIKAN — On the drizzly afternoon of Nov. 2, Bill Hopkins peered into the cylindrical rain gauge in the yard of his North End home. His wife, Wynn Hopkins, stood by to assist and observe. Bill and Wynn Hopkins have been National Weather Service cooperative observers since 2001. They check NWS gauges installed in their yard daily and report their findings on rainfall, temperature, wind direction, weather changes, unusual weather events, snowfall and snow depth to the organization. NWS meteorologist Wes Adkins wrote in an email to the Daily News that the program, facilitated by NWS Observational Program Leader Kimberly Vaughan, has about 30 participants in Southeast Alaska. Adkins wrote that the coop program is helpful in “supplementing our climate record well beyond a few busy airports.” Bill Hopkins dropped the black metal measuring stick into the rain gauge and announced, “That is 0.37 of an inch in the last 24 hours, at this location.” He said that their location gets quite a bit less rainfall than the downtown locations. “We get about 106.7 inches a year, on average,” he said. He pointed out the temperature gauge that is wired to a monitor in the house. “We’ve only seen this below zero once,” he said. Wynn Hopkins said that was in about 2011. The couple is attuned to many aspects of the weather, and different ways to assess it. Bill Hopkins gestured to the trees across the highway from their house. “We pay attention to the wind,” he said, explaining that he watches those treetops to gauge wind direction and speed. To measure precipitation in the form of snow, Bill Hopkins said he does a bit of a math equation. He held up the clear rain gauge cylinder. “I’ll fill this tube with hot water, and I always measure how much that is. I’ll dump it in there to melt the snow,” he pointed to the larger container that holds the gauge, “then I

take all of that together and pour it in here and re-measure it, and just subtract the amount of water I had originally, and that tells me how much moisture, or precipitation was in the snow.” He said the most snow accumulation they’ve measured was about three feet feet, in 2008. NWS wants to know both the total snow accumulation as well as the 24-hour snowfall. He uses a board about 12 by 18 inches to measure the daily snowfall. Wynn Hopkins recalled one of the biggest surprises they’ve gotten in a different, unofficial snow gauge they have. She began seeing “tiger stripes” in the snow layers, and they realized it was ash from the 2005 eruption of Augustine volcano, located in Cook Inlet. From their upper deck, they said they can see weather events over Clarence Strait coming toward the island. Bill Hopkins said that can help to report unusual events such as thunder and lightning. They usually call in those weather events by telephone as spotter reports , Wynn Hopkins said. The NWS SkyWarn spotter program is distinct from the cooperative observer program. Adkins also wrote in an email that a Road Show NWS Juneau Open House training

held in August garnered 10 new Ketchikan spotters at seven locations for the program. The NWS spotter program was how the Hopkins family got involved at the beginning. Wynn Hopkins, who explained that she loves to try new things, said she became interested in the program when a weather spotter class was advertised. Weather spotters report to NWS, by phone or an online form, when they observe weather events. Bill Hopkins said that although the NWS climatologists can see weather picked up on satellites on their computer screens, they also want on-theground reports of what is happening. Although Wynn Hopkins was the first to jump on the NWS weather programs, Bill Hopkins had a long career as an Alaska Marine Highway System ferry captain before retiring in 2007. He has had a long, intimate relationship with weather. “You never forget that stuff. When you’re responsible for the ship, you pay attention to all that kind of thing,” Bill Hopkins said, explaining, “There’s times you’ll have a forecast and then you’ll see what’s going on, and you’ll make a decision. . I was on the (AMHS ferry Kennicott, so we had to make a choice

whether we were going to go out into the Gulf of Alaska and cross it, or whether we were going to stay somewhere and wait for this one to blow out.” Bill Hopkins continued to recall his experiences with weather, as a ship captain in Alaska. “The weather up here can be quite vicious, and sudden. You can even have a forecast that just falls to pieces on you.” he added, “You gotta pay attention, too. It’s not just reading the forecast, you gotta really look at it. You’re feeling the ship, you’re listening to that wind, you’re looking at the sea, all those things go into making your decisions.” Wynn Hopkins said that Bill Hopkins’ experience as a captain can help when it’s her turn to make a report, as she’s trying to assess conditions. Bill Hopkins said 2018 has been quite remarkable in its lack of precipitation at their location. Bill Hopkins said they would need to receive 26 more inches of rain by the end of December to hit their normal average. Program Leader Vaughan said1 in a phone interview that they “definitely need more coop stations” in Southeast Alaska, especially because the weather can vary widely between even small distances.

US Senate passes funding bill authorizing Kodiak land swap KODIAK (AP) — The U.S. Senate has passed a bill that includes a provision authorizing a land exchange in Alaska between the federal government and a private owner. The Coast Guard funding bill, if signed into law, would allow the swap of the privately owned Ayakulik Island off southwest Kodiak Island for federally owned tideland in Womens Bay south of the city of Kodiak, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported . The nearly 11-acre (4.4-hectare) island is a nesting place for red-faced cormorant, a bird native to the Aleutian Islands but observed infrequently on Kodiak.

The island would be set aside for conservation under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Ayakulik Island is partially owned by Jim Jansen, chairman of Lynden Inc., a shipping and logistics company. The swap would give the company complete ownership of a roughly 11-acre (4.4-hectare) stretch from Lash Dock to Shannon’s Point. The land in Womens Bay is in an area of Coast Guard activity. The Coast Guard has final authority on development in the area and can place “operational restrictions on commercial activity,” the bill states. Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan

introduced the land swap provision in the bill. “The land transaction could occur without congressional involvement, were it not for the need to provide the U.S. Coast Guard with the tools necessary to protect operations,” the senator’s office said in a statement. In a letter earlier this year, Sullivan said the land exchange would lead to economic benefits for the bay while assisting in the protection of seabirds and marine mammals on the island. The swap has concerned some Kodiak residents over the development of a dock in Womens Bay.

Kodiak council member Charlie Davidson raised the issue last month at a council meeting, saying a dock in the bay could economically harm the city. The city rebuilt a pier a few years ago, partially funding the $35 million construction using at least $15 million in Alaska bond financing. “If that land is developed into a dock . and we lose the wages and the tariffs that generally come over our dock, you can be sure that we’ll have difficulty paying for our new dock,” Davidson said. “I hope it doesn’t happen like that, because it is going to definitely hinder us to pay our bill in a timely matter.”

Fairbanks impounds truck hauling historic building FAIRBANKS (AP) — The city of Fairbanks has impounded a truck that was hauling an early 20th century building back to its original home in the former railroad town of Chena. The building previously in downtown Fairbanks was donated to Alaska State Parks, which planned to display it with an interpretive historical sign at the old Chena town site, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported . The truck and cargo were taken to the city’s impound lot Thursday. The truck trans-

Funding for farm workers is a boon to subsistence users

porting the structure lacked insurance, hadn’t been registered in years and was not properly lighted or marked, city spokeswoman Teal Soden said. The driver is working with the city to get the truck back, she said. The green building was likely constructed between 1904 and 1907 and was probably used as a small store, said Martin Gutoski, a member of the Fairbanks North Star Borough Historic Preservation Commission. The Tanana Valley Railroad town was an early com-

petitor to Fairbanks, and it served as a riverboat port and the railroad terminus. It was near where the Chena and Tanana rivers meet, west of Fairbanks. After the town collapsed around 1917, most of its buildings were eventually torn down or moved elsewhere. The Tanana River covers part of the site, Gutoski said. Volunteer Fairbanks history preservationists were the process of moving the old building when Fairbanks police stopped the truck. They

had decided to hit the road at midnight so there be less traffic, said Patty Peirsol, a preservation commission member who drove an informal pilot car behind the truck. “This has become much more than anyone thought it could be in terms of expenses; even before last night it was getting pricey,” Peirsol said. Brooks Ludwig, a regional supervisor for Alaska State Parks, said he’s seeking to work with the state Department of Transportation to use a state trailer to deliver the building to Chena.

FAIRBANKS — Hundreds of parents and guardians called or visited the fourth floor of the school district building this fall to talk to a Fairbanks school district administrator about how their fishing went this year. The conversation sounds like an informal chat, but the annual interview of parents about how much time students spent at fish camp has significant financial ramifications. This year, about $900,000 in federal funding came to the Interior through the Migrant Education Program, which is designed to help the education of students who spend long periods away from home because of the way their parents make their living. The Migrant Education Program started as a program for farm workers, and that’s mostly how it remains in the Lower 48. But in Fairbanks, the program recipients are mostly subsistence fishers, most of them Alaska Native. To qualify, students and their families must spend at least seven nights and eight days fishing or berry picking outside the borough boundary. The money goes to the district federal program’s office to pay for things for the students including tutoring services, school supplies, school lunches and life jackets. Unlike itinerant farm work, most subsistence fishing in the Interior takes place in the summer and doesn’t take students out of school, but it does make it harder for students to do well in school, said Helen Clark, the director of federal programs at the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District. For example, she said a student who is expected to go to fish camp isn’t able to attend an academic summer camp. “The impact of the subsistence lifestyle year-round can cause academic achievement gaps,” she said. “It’s not that it’s not enriching; it’s just that it’s not as directly connected to the learning at school. The life skills are invaluable, but it’s not as directly connected.” The interview Earlier this school year, migrant education parent John Tidwell of Salcha came in for his annual interview with program recruiter Margaret Ungrodt at a small table in the school district’s federal programs office. Even with a detour in their conversation to give Ungrodt a photo tour of his family’s freezer and to discuss a recipe for rhubarb custard pie, the interview didn’t take long. Tidwell’s family has participated in the Migrant Education Program for more than a decade, so Ungrodt simply reviewed which of Tidwell’s children are still in school and the number of days they spent fishing this year. Tidwell is a retired Alaska Department of Corrections employee originally from Seattle who got into subsistence fishing when he lived and worked in Utqiagvik. Five of his own children and another teenager his family looks after attend Salcha and Eielson Air Force base schools. The family and a

group of friends operate a fishwheel on the Copper River near Gakona every summer. With an unprecedented early season closure for subsistence fishing this year, the season started slow but gradually picked up, Tidwell said. The family took three multiday trips to fish camp, which more than satisfied the Migrant Education requirement. All the hours at fish camp are worth it because it helps the family eat a diet with few massproduced processed foods, Tidwell said. “In my house, you can’t find a box of macaroni and cheese,” he said. “My kids are used to going through the refrigerator and finding the salmon and throwing it on a pan to reheat it.” Tidwell said the school benefits and other supplies his family receives through the Migrant Education Program make it easier for the family to focus more of its resources into eating fresh food. “I could survive without the program, but it just makes things a little nicer because our cost of living is so high,” he said. “I’d rather spend my money on vegetables and fruits than school supplies.” The moose in Tidwell’s freezer and that of other subsistence hunters doesn’t contribute to his family’s Migrant Education qualifications. Although hunting is widely seen as a subsistence activity in the borough, subsistence hunting doesn’t count for Migrant Education eligibility because the federal government views hunting as a sport rather than a subsistence activity, Clark said. The federal government also used to include whaling for Migrant Education eligibility, but that stopped being an eligible activity decades ago. A growing program The Migrant Education Program dates back to President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty in the 1960s and has existed in Fairbanks since at least the 1980s. The Fairbanks program has more than doubled in the past five years, which Clark attributed to the work of district staff to find qualified applicants and to word about the program spreading among subsistence fishers. The program now has about 600 enrolled students, and by dollar value is one of the largest federal programs administered by the school district. Because it’s a federal program, the district-managed Migrant Education Program isn’t restricted to district students. Program recipients include homeschool students and students from rural school districts who fish from rivers and shorelines around the state. The Migrant Education families in Fairbanks come together as a community for events like a book night at Barnes & Noble, a math night, a workshop on college financial aid and readiness fairs for high school, college and careers. Migrant Education also pays for nine tutors who help students at all the district high and middle schools as well as four elementary schools.

The Service Cougars capped a perfect weekend Saturday at the End of the Road Shootout in Homer with a lopsided 11-0 victory over Kenai Central.

Lancer Smith lives up to tough billing By JEREMIAH BARTZ Frontiersman.com

WASILLA — The Lancer Smith Memorial is billed as the toughest wrestling tournament in the state. Saturday, the event, once again, lived up to its reputation. Seven wrestlers, including four defending state champions, suffered their first loss of the season during the Lancer Smith Memorial final round at the Menard Arena in Wasilla. “It’s tougher than state,” Colony senior Rush Fannon

said. Fannon was part of a pair of matches during the final round that featured a pair of defending state champions. Fannon, a two-time state champ who won it all at 126 pounds last year, pinned Lathrop sophomore Kobe Ames in the first round of the 140-pound final. Ames, the champion at 132 last year, entered the match 16-0. North Pole senior Bradley Antesberger, the defending champion at 195 pounds,

Allie Ostrander, a 2015 graduate of Kenai Central, finished sixth in the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships on Saturday in Madison, Wisconsin. Ostrander, a redshirt junior, led the six-kilometer race along with Notre Dame’s Anna Rohrer for the first four kilometers. At four kilometers, New Mexico sophomore Weini Kelati, many people’s prerace favorite, made her move. Colorado senior Dani Jones was able to stick with Kelati and win the kick down the stretch, finishing in 19

The Next Level minutes, 42.8 seconds, to the 19:45.3 of Kelati. The course was covered with an inch of snow and temperatures were in the 30s at the start of the race. Ostrander nabbed sixth in 19:56.9 to earn all-American status, adding to a runner-up finish at nationals as a freshman and a fourth-place finish at nationals last year as a redshirt sophomore. She also has a pair of NCAA outdoor titles in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Boise State also has reemerged on the national scene

since the arrival of Ostrander. The Broncos women finished a second-straight sixth with 288 points, while Colorado ran away with the title with 65 points. The Broncos men were 10th, putting both programs in the top 10 for the first time in meet history. “Today didn’t go the way we thought it would,” Boise State head coach Corey Ihmels said after watching both the women and men get the top rankings in program history this season. “To get both teams in the top 10 and have three all-Americans is a great accomplishment, but we have higher goals and aspirations for where we want to take this

program.” With Ostrander’s top-10 finish, Ihmels has now had a women’s athlete in the top 10 at nationals for eight straight years.

Area skiers anxiously await snow By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

It’s been 19 straight years a peninsula team has won a region ski team championship, and local ski coaches want to keep it rolling. They also know they need some snow to make that happen, so as Thanksgiving approaches, they’re taking a onestep-at-a-time approach. “We’ve been on snow one day,” said Soldotna head coach Isaac Erhardt. “We’re trying to sniff out snow somewhere. Reports are there are that patches at Tsalteshi, and then the lakes are freezing up good.” An early snowfall last Saturday night did not stick around long as warm temperatures invaded the central peninsula within a day, seriously threatening to cancel Wednesday’s scheduled season opening race Cameron Blackwell of Soldotna (left) loses control on a late at the Tsalteshi Trails. “This week last year, we downhill February 17, 2018, in the girls race at the Region III skiing championships at the Tsalteshi Trails in Soldotna. (Pho- were skiing,” said Homer head coach Alison O’Hara. “It’s kind to by Joey Klecka/Peninsula Clarion)

Season preview of a bummer but we’re hanging in there with the dry-land stuff. It keeps it interesting.” Last February, peninsula programs did well in extending a remarkable streak of 19 consecutive seasons of winning at least one Region III team title, either on the boys or girls side. The Kenai Central girls won their third in four years while the Soldotna boys dominated their home trails at Tsalteshi to win their third straight region championship. While a significant shakeup of graduation loss and incoming freshmen have mixed up the field, both programs believe they can defend their crowns. “We’ll be competitive,” said Kenai head coach Brad Nyquist. “We’ve got a couple of girls that are going to come in strong.” The Kardinals lost threetime Region III runner-up Addison Gibson and 2016 region

champion Riana Boonstra to graduation, but Nyquist said Kenai welcomed a cast of younger skiers that could keep the good times rolling. “It’s hard to say with what the other teams have,” he cautioned. “We haven’t even been on snow yet so I don’t want to condemn us or boast.” Erhardt said his SoHi boys team, which lost a trio of studs in John-Mark Pothast, Koby Vinson and Josh Shuler, is also still in the mix with a pool of returning contenders, including last year’s fourth-place Region III finisher Jeremy Kupferschmid. “Oh yeah, I think we’re in it,” Erhardt said. “Who knows how it’ll play out. I haven’t seen what the other teams have, so who knows.” Erhardt said most teams won’t know who the contenders and pretenders are until after the popular Lynx Loppet meet comes to an end Dec. 7 and 8 in Anchorage. The meet typically draws teams from

around the state. “That’s when we’ll really start to see what our region looks like and what the state looks like,” he said. “That’s a good one, I can get a really good feel.” The 2018 race season is scheduled to start Wednesday with a race at Tsalteshi Trails, but dry conditions may cancel that race unless a hefty snowfall hits before then. The 2019 Region III championship meet is scheduled for Feb. 15 and 16 at the Government Peak ski trails in Palmer, and the ASAA state meet is Feb. 21 through 23 at Birch Hill Ski Area in Fairbanks for a second straight year. SOLDOTNA STARS Erhardt said 37 skiers out for the early weeks of the season is about 10 more than usual as the Stars have picked up a handful of novices trying the sport for a first time.

76ers overcome 60 points from Hornets’ Walker By The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Jimmy Butler knocked down a 3-pointer as time expired in overtime, and the Philadelphia 76ers overcame a career-high 60 points from Kemba Walker to beat the Charlotte Hornets 122-119 on Saturday night. Butler’s play in the final seconds was the difference. He blocked Walker’s shot and saved the ball to a teammate with 15 seconds left, setting the stage for his winning jumper from the top of the key over Dwayne Bacon. Joel Embiid finished with 33 points and 11 rebounds and Ben Simmons had 23 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists as the 76ers defeated the Hornets for the third time this season.

The defending Region III boys champions will need to reload after losing three top-10 contenders. Last year, Pothast finished second in the region and was the highest peninsula finisher at state in 10th. Returning to bolster their squad is Jeremy Kupferschmid, who was fourth at the region meet last year but suffered a tough weekend at state with a 40th-place finish. Bradley Walters, Jack Harris and Joseph Dammeyer also return. Walters was eighth and Harris was ninth at the region meet last season, while Dammeyer racked up a pair of top-30 finishes in the weekend’s two races. The SoHi girls lost senior Kellie Arthur to graduation — Arthur was eighth in the region last year and 36th at state — but Erhardt said he has had a number of girls ski-training throughout the summer in preparation for the winter. The SoHi girls finished third in the region team race last year, and Erhardt said he could realistically see his squad in the mix for a team title this season. “I think our girls team is just getting stronger and stronger,” he said. “I’m really happy with them.” Leading the charge is sophomore

Erika Arthur, junior Cameron Blackwell, senior Hannah Delker and sophomore Sonora Martin. Martin finished ninth at the region meet and was 32nd at state last season. KENAI KARDINALS While the Kardinals are sporting 40 members, the defending Region III champion Karl Danielson is gone to graduation. However, Nyquist said a senior class led by Josh Foster and Billy Morrow are coming along well. “(Foster had) been watching Karl for several years,” Nyquist said. “Having Karl’s leadership and mentorship really gave Josh some direction. He’s got a fire this year that I haven’t seen.” Last spring, Danielson parlayed his region title into a 15th at state, and is now skiing for the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Foster finished 69th at state and Morrow was 79th, and both had a top25 finish on one of the two days at the region meet. Behind Foster and Morrow, Nyquist is optimistic about a group of incoming freshmen that could round into shape quickly. “They’re an outstanding team to want to coach,” he said. The Kenai girls are looking to senior veterans Maria Salzetti, Mickinzie Ticknor and Olivia Brewer to

lead the way, according to Nyquist. Salzetti notched a pair of top-20 finishes in the two races at regions last year, then took 42nd overall at state. “She’s got a little fire in her belly to do well,” Nyquist said. “She’s a state returner who wants to ski well.” Ticknor had finishes of 20th and 33rd at the region meet last season, while Brewer returns to skiing after two years off due to injury. From there, Nyquist said, the Kards have a lot of young kids, including a group of freshmen who received a tune-up with the state champion girls cross-country running team in the fall. “We’re just refining and tuning up some of the raw edges and they’ll be good,” Nyquist said. Nyquist said former peninsula star Kailey Mucha is back as an assistant, along with Mike Bergholtz. HOMER MARINERS Alison O’Hara takes over the head coaching spot for Cole Talbot, who spent just one year with the Mariners program. O’Hara is in her fifth year coaching with the Homer high school team, and prior to that was a coach at Homer Middle School. O’Hara said the Mariners haven’t had any snow to ski on, even in the hills at over 1,000 feet above sea level, but the team is staying in shape with a collection of speed intervals and roller

ROCKETS 132, KINGS 112 HOUSTON — James Harden had 34 points and eight assists, and Houston used a big first-half run on the way to its fourth straight victory. Chris Paul added 24 points and nine assists. Clint Capella finished with 23 points and 16 rebounds for Houston, which shot 57 percent

skiing on the Spit. “It’s pretty cool to have that spit trail accessible to us,” she said. “We’ve been doing that combined with a lot of pole bounding on hills.” O’Hara stressed that her girls team is looking strong after not losing a single state skier from last year’s fourthplace finishing Region III team. “Totally,” she answered when asked if the girls can contend for a region title. “This is a year for them to do well. They’re looking really strong and we didn’t lose any high performance racers.” Top returners include junior Autumn Daigle, who was seventh at regions and 26th at state, and senior Katia Holmes, sixth at regions and 28th at state. Also returning are sophomores Zoe Stonorov and Kara Super, and junior Brita Restad. Stonorov ended up 30th at state last year. “It’s nice to have that friendly rivalry and competition,” O’Hara said. “They help to push each other.” Unlike the girls, the Homer boys lost some speed with departed seniors, namely Jacob Davis, who was seventh at regions and 26th at state, Denver Waclawski, Josh Wisner and Ben Kettle. O’Hara said the one senior leading the pack in 2018 is Andy Super, the only one of the 2017 Homer boys state squad that returns. Super finished 85th last year in the Skimeister stand-

ings. O’Hara added that freshman Leif Restad has looked really strong in preseason practices. Additionally, O’Hara said sophomore Angelica Haakenson, a double amputee who competes with the team as a “sit skier,” is back racing this year and is expecting some improved competition. O’Hara said Haakenson, who lost both her legs in a car accident at age 11, is helping to gain attention to the variation of Nordic skiing that places competitors in a chair that holds them in a seated position on skis. O’Hara said Haakenson is back this year and that talks have been increasing with ASAA in creating a sit-ski event at the state meet. “She just keeps going with her awesome energy and drive,” O’Hara said. “Apparently, some folks in the Lower 48 in sit skiing are looking to us for ideas.” SEWARD SEAHAWKS Seward welcomes a new head coach in Zach Cureton, who teaches at the school and will take over the ski team from former coach Luke Rosier. The Seward girls lost their top senior from the 2017 team in Ruby Lindquist, who is gone after leading the Seahawks with a fourth-place finish at the region meet last year and 23rd at state.

NASCAR’s troubled season ready to hit checkered flag By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — NASCAR’s season of doom and gloom sputters toward the checkered flag with a stout championship field but the inability to distance itself from everything that’s gone wrong in this trying year. Martin Truex Jr.’s team is closing after the race because his primary sponsor is leaving the sport. Kevin Harvick’s team was caught cheating then justified using an illegal spoiler because other teams were doing it first. Fans hope the four championship-contending cars are legal but won’t know for sure until the cars have been inspected, long after the champagne celebration is over, because the culture of cheating in NASCAR lingers. Television ratings hit a low in 26 events this year, and the cumbersome rulebook, a vulnerable inspection process and NASCAR’s officiating has received far too much attention of late. NASCAR may or may not be for sale, the France family doesn’t often speak publicly and their intentions remain private. But the August drunkdriving arrest of Brian France forced a change at chairman and a definitive shift in NASCAR leadership. It was Ben Kennedy, the 26-year-old great grandson of NASCAR’s found-

er, who represented the series during the Truck Series celebration. Next up is the Cup title race Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway that pits reigning series champion Truex against Harvick, Kyle Busch and Joey Logano in a winner-take-all finale. It’s the strongest final four since NASCAR adopted this format in 2014 — the four drivers combined to win 22 of 35 races this season — but the on-track action has been overshadowed time and again by off-track problems. On the eve of the title race, Joe Gibbs was under scrutiny for what some perceived to be race manipulation: Gibbs made a team decision that gave contender Busch an edge. Gifting Busch the top pit stall that teammate Denny Hamlin had earned seems minor, but it quickly became the most intriguing elements of the weekend. Among the other highlights? Jimmie Johnson shaved his beard after seven or so years as a tribute to Lowe’s — the only sponsor he’s had in 18 years — in its final race before the company leaves NASCAR. Truex advised tuning out the noise. “I think the racing has been unbelievable this season,” Truex said. “A lot of action, a lot of big moments on the racetrack. I don’t really worry too

much about the stuff that happened away from it. I think the sport is in a good place and heading in a good direction.” It’s a sound endorsement from a journeyman driver who hit the jackpot when paired with single-car Furniture Row Racing, a mid-level team based in Denver that defied all odds and won last year’s Cup title. But that title wasn’t enough to keep the team’s main sponsor from leaving and Furniture Row will close after Sunday’s race rather than try to compete on the cheap. Truex and crew chief Cole Pearn will join Joe Gibbs Racing next season, and Sunday is a final opportunity for one last celebration with the Furniture Row team. “You can imagine how sick you feel when you see it coming to a close,” said FRR President Joe Garone, who like Truex distanced the team’s closing as an indictment of the overall health of the sport. “NASCAR is still a place to be for corporate sponsorship. There’s no question about it.” Truex, a four-time winner this season, is trying to become the first back-to-back champion since Johnson won his fifth consecutive title in 2010. He’s part of the so-called Big Three along with Busch and Harvick, winners of a series-high eight races each this season.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Karan Higdon ran for a go-ahead touchdown early in the third quarter and Jake Moody set a Michigan record with six field goals. The Wolverines (10-1, 8-0 Big Ten, No. 4 CFP) looked sluggish and it may have had something to do with looking ahead to next week’s game at No. 9 Ohio State, where they need a win to reach the Big Ten championship game for the first time. The Hoosiers (5-6, 2-6) were competitive against Michigan as they have been lately, losing in overtime twice in the previous three meetings, but came up short again.

Sports Briefs Zverev tops Federer LONDON — After pulling off one of the biggest wins of his career, Alexander Zverev was left apologizing for an unforced error he didn’t make. Zverev denied Roger Federer a shot at a 100th career title by beating the Swiss great 7-5, 7-6 (5) at the ATP Finals on Saturday to advance to the championship match against Novak Djokovic. Federer was leading the second-set tiebreaker 4-3 and in the ascendancy of a rally on a Zverev service point when a ball boy at the back of the court dropped a ball. Zverev immediately signaled for the point to be stopped and the umpire ordered the point to be replayed. Zverev served an ace before going on to close out the match moments later. “I want to apologize for the situation in the tiebreak,” said Zverev, who was booed by some of the crowd during his on-court interview. “The ball boy dropped the ball so it’s in the rules that we have to replay the point. “I’m a little bit upset about the whole situation because this is not how I wanted it to end.” Zverev is the youngest player at 21 to reach the final since 2009 and the first from Germany since 1996. He will face five-time champion Djokovic, who defeated Kevin Anderson 6-2, 6-2 to extend his semifinal win-loss record at the tournament to 7-1. Federer, 37, was seeking a record-extending seventh title, but was unable to cope with the pressure created by Zverev’s power and precision at the O2 Arena.

Shiffrin wins season-opening slalom LEVI, Finland — Mikaela Shiffrin started the women’s World Cup slalom season in the same way she ended the previous one — with a clear victory. The two-time overall champion built on a first-run lead to comfortably win the traditional opening race in Finnish Lapland on Saturday. Shiffrin defeated last year’s winner, Petra Vlhova of Slovakia, by 0.58 seconds. Bernadette Schild of Austria, who posted the fastest second-run time, finished third, 0.79 off the lead. Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener, the runner-up to Shiffrin in the overall standings last season, was 0.85 seconds behind in fifth. It was Shiffrin’s 33rd career victory in a slalom, leaving her two wins shy of the World Cup record held by Austria’s Marlies Raich — Schild’s older sister. “I felt well,” said Shiffrin, who won seven of nine World Cup slalom events last season, including the final one in March by a massive 1.58 seconds. “I was really able to push.” On Saturday, strong winds in the upper part of the course forced organizers to postpone the race by 45 minutes and move the start gate lower down the mountain, reducing run times by 10 seconds. “It wasn’t a big problem,” said Shiffrin, who opened the race wearing No. 1. “It was the right decision, for sure. It’s windy.”

Thompson leads LPGA finale NAPLES, Fla. — Lexi Thompson has control of the CME Group Tour Championship, and Ariya Jutanugarn is in control of just about everything else. Thompson’s 4-under 68 on Saturday pushed her to 16 under after three rounds of the LPGA’s season-ending event. She moved three shots clear of Nelly Korda and six ahead of Carlota Ciganda at Tiburon Golf Club. Korda shot her second consecutive 67 to get to 13 under, and Ciganda grinded out a 69 to get to 10 under for the week. Thompson has been nearly flawless this week. Her only dropped shot of the tournament came Saturday when she made bogey at the par-4 fourth hole, then put together five birdies over the rest of her round.

Howell III clings to 1-shot lead ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Two quick birdies and Charles Howell III was five shots ahead. Four hours later, he was reminded why winning never comes easily, especially for someone who has gone more than 11 years and 332 starts since his last victory. Howell didn’t make enough birdies Saturday to do much of anything except post a 2-under 68 and keep his name atop the leaderboard at the RSM Classic, even if only by one shot over PGA Tour rookie Cameron Champ and part-time insurance salesman Jason Gore. “I have a chance to win the tournament, and I’d have taken that Thursday morning,” Howell said. He was at 16-under 194. Champ ran off four straight birdies around the turn and shot 4-under 66. A winner at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi last month, this is the 12th time in his last 15 rounds Champ has been in the top 10. Gore, who only a few weeks ago became certified to sell insurance in California, overcame a missed tap-in at the turn with three birdies and an 18-foot eagle putt over his next six holes and shot 66. — The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA STATE 45, NO. 7 WEST VIRGINIA 41 STILLWATER, Okla. — Taylor Cornelius threw a touchdown pass to Tylan Wallace with 42 seconds remaining to rally Oklahoma State.

The loss all but ended West Virginia’s shot at the College Football Playoff. West Virginia faces Oklahoma next Friday and still has a shot at reaching the Big 12 title game.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Tyler Reddick opened Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s first season in retirement with a victory and closed it with a championship. Reddick won the Xfinity Series finale Saturday at Homestead-Miami Speedway to claim the title in NASCAR’s development series. Reddick was perhaps a long shot behind Christopher Bell and Cole Custer, but with team owner Earnhardt watching from his pit box, he drove away from the contenders and bookended his rookie season with two massive trips to victory lane. “I just knew we had to execute. I thought we had a chance if we just made it to Homestead, it rewards my aggression,” Reddick said. “We hit the wall a lot but the car kept in one piece, enough for me to get to the end.

It was an up and down year. We did everything we had to do in the playoffs and we wound up with the championship. “We can hang our hats on that and people will say others were more consistent. We got it when it counted.” The 22-year-old began this season with a victory at Daytona International Speedway in which he beat JRM teammate Elliott Sadler in the closest finish in NASCAR history. His next win was in the finale with everything was on the line. It was Reddick’s final race for JR Motorsports, which won its second consecutive Xfinity championship and third in five years. Reddick is moving to Richard Childress Racing next season and will race against JRM. But he got one final party with his team, albeit without the massive Xfinity championship flag.

Cougars. On offense, Jake Hayes popped in four goals for Service and Ben Martensen added two goals. The Cougars outshot Kenai 31-13 through the first two periods, building a 5-0 advantage over the Kardinals, then tacked on six more goals in the final 15 minutes to ice the victory. Kenai goalie Carson Koppes made 33 saves on 44 shots.

SABRES 3, WILD 2 ST. PAUL, Minn. — Jason Pominville scored with 1:30 remaining, helping the Sabres extend their winning streak to five games. Rookie defenseman Rasmus Dahlin got his second career goal and had an assist for Buffalo, which rallied from a two-goal deficit to post its longest winning streak since 2012. Jake McCabe also scored and Linus Ullmark made 37 saves. Matt Dumba scored for the third straight game for Minnesota, and Zach Parise add another goal, becoming the highest-scoring Minnesotan in NHL history. Devan Dubnyk stopped 26 shots for the Wild.

Homer 7, Kenai 5 The Homer Mariners picked up a 7-5 win over the Kenai Central hockey team Friday night in the End of the Road Shootout at the Kevin Bell Ice Arena in Homer. Homer improved to 1-1 at the round-robin tournament while Kenai fell to 0-2. The star of the night was Mariners forward Ethan Pitzman, who netted an eyepopping six goals, and the one he didn’t score he tallied an assist on for seven total points. In a game that saw the lead swapped five times, Kenai started with a Wyatt Harvey goal in the first period, Pitzman tied it with two seconds left in the period, then tied it again in the second period after Kenai had retaken the lead on a Miles Marsten goal. Homer took a 3-2 lead on a Brenna McCarron goal, which Pitzman helped set up, then went up 4-2 on an unassisted Pitzman strike, capping a three-goal spurt by the Mariners in 2:06 of game time. Kenai cut the lead to 4-3 by the end of the second with an unassisted score by Nate Beiser, then tied it with 11:17 left in the third period thanks to Zach Burnett.

PHILADELPHIA — Anthony Cirelli scored 1:47 into overtime, and the Tampa Bay Lightning topped the Philadelphia Flyers 6-5 on Saturday after blowing a big lead in the third period. Cirelli outmuscled Wayne Simmonds and beat Calvin Pickard with a top-shelf wrist shot. It was his fourth goal of the season. Tampa Bay opened a 5-1 lead 9:08 into the third on Brayden Point’s fifth goal in two games. But Philadelphia rallied behind two goals by Travis Konecny and Simmonds tied it with 3:32 left in regulation, beating Louis Domingue while lying on his back. The Lightning won for the sixth time in eight games. Adam Erne had a goal and two assists in his first career threepoint game, and Point scored twice after he had a natural hat trick in Thursday’s 4-3 victory at Pittsburgh. James van Riemsdyk had a goal and two assists for Philadelphia, which has dropped three in a row.

The tie game lasted just over a minute, however, as Pitzman notched his fourth of the night with help from Fiona Hatton. The seesaw affair was knotted once again with 5:58 left on a Jacob Begich goal, but Homer finally had the last laugh with just under five minutes left when Isaiah Nevak and Dylan McBride set up Pitzman to score his fifth of the night to put the Mariners ahead. Pitzman notched the insurance goal with 1:34 to play. Also on Friday, Service netted three goals in the first period to notch a 5-1 win over Wasilla.

Mom sez Have you ever really considered how much your mother has influenced your life in ways you probably don’t even think of? We give Mom credit when we are successful (or blame her if we happen to be a psychotic serial killer). If our kids are brats it’s our Mother’s fault because she spoils them or worse, doesn’t pay any attention to them. Moms always bear the brunt. Consider your day-today habits: Hubby asks, “Are you ready?” as he heads out the door. I respond, “in a minute,” and he rolls his eyes as I head for the bathroom. Every time! It’s a holdover from my childhood when the last thing Mom would say before leaving the house was, “Go to the bathroom!” I carried it into my stint as a mother, adding the warning, “We’re not stopping until we get there!” Be it 2 miles or 200. Besides using the facilities, mom hoped we’d run a comb through our hair and wipe any stray dirt off our cheeks. I always glance in the mirror and grab the comb before leaving the little room. Not sure it does a whole lot of good, but I know my mother is happily looking down and nodding her head approvingly. I still sort the laundry into white, colored and dark piles because Mom did, even though modern fabrics and washers don’t require it. A correlation to this is that I must do the laundry at least once a week because you always wear clean underwear because you never know when you might be in an accident. It’s either do laundry or fill up the underwear drawer with enough ‘delicates’ to last beyond seven days. And I have done that also, when my life was more complicated and laundry lingered in the hamper. Heaven forbid I should wear a pair of panties with the elastic sprung in fear of an elusive EMT guy wondering what kind of mother I had who’d let me go out in less than pristine underwear. Another mom thing is the way I fold towels. She always folded them in thirds, because that was the size that fit in the cupboard and that was the way she taught me to fold them. Even though I have a shelf that will accommodate a half fold, I still do the over twice thing because that’s the way mom did it. And how about sifting flour. I know it is pre-sifted now, but I still sift once onto a piece of waxed paper, measure the amount I need, put it in the sifter and sift it again with the salt, baking powder and any spices. Just because! So now you know why most of my baking is done out of a box these days. We remember all the maxims that rolled off her lips like the truth, carried over from her own childhood, I’m sure: “Actions speak louder than words” as an admonition against saying one thing then doing the opposite, and “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones,” or best of all, “Children should be seen and not heard.” We make a joke about hearing our mothers when we yell at the kids, or when we grouse to the husband or comment about the younger generation to a friend. We all have a lot of ‘momisms’ we remember. Some are universal and most of us have carried them into our own kid-rearing lives whether we wanted to or not. For instance, “A job worth doing is worth doing well,” the second time the kid left the frying pans to soak. Of course he might come back with, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” which only proves Mom’s lessons are well learned. The reality is Moms are the institutional memory of civilization. She might have insisted on clean underwear, but what she was really teaching is that what you do in private is who you really are: “Character is what a man does in the dark.” Or as Forrest Gump’s mother would say, “Pretty is as pretty does.” Remember, “Clean your plate. Children are starving in this world”? We thought it was to make us eat our peas, but the companion truism, “There, but for the grace of God, go I,” warns us not to take our advantages, whatever they may be, for granted because they could be taken away at any moment. The glass house thing took me a few years to fully understand that Mom was not telling me to be careful of breaking other people’s windows because mine are also easily broken, but trying to teach me about hypocrisy and karma. There have been moments, even in my senior years when I’ve clenched my teeth and whispered, “Mom, you never told me…” But then I remember, “Old and smart beats young and fast every time.” Mom knew what she was talking about!!

Heritage Place partnered with Samaritan’s Purse and to wrap shoe boxes with love and prayers for Samaratin’s Purse Operation Christmas Child.

The Recycling Bin Turn the tide against plastic Turning the tide on plastic pollution requires the commitment of industry and consumers. Last month more than 275 brands, retailers, recyclers, governments and NGOs from around the world — collectively responsible for producing 20 percent of all plastic packaging — have pledged to eradicate plastic waste and pollution. Led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in collaboration with U.N. Environment, the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment is a first-of-its-kind alliance ensuring that plastics never become waste but are 100 percent reusable, recyclable or compostable. Rethink, redesign, remake.

Natural Disasters: Mitigate Your Losses by Preparing Now Natural Disasters — Mitigate Your Losses by Preparing Now In July 2018, Japan experienced devastating flooding and mudslides causing 2 million people to flee their homes. August brought Tropical Storm Lane to the big island of Hawaii dumping more than 40 inches of rain. During the month of September, three disasters stand out: Super Typhoon Mangkhut slammed into the Philippines and China; Hurricane Florence caused mass evacuations and damage by high winds and flooding in parts of the Carolinas; Indonesia was hit with a 7.5 Earthquake followed by a Tsunami in Palu where at least 2,100 people lost their lives. October brought Hurricane Michael, the strongest storm on record to hit the Florida Panhandle. November brings raging wildfires to California, this year being the deadliest and most destructive wildfire season recorded in that state. Natural disasters are occurring worldwide at an increasingly unpre-

dictable and frequent rate. The preplanning and precautions you take now could make a huge difference in how your family fares — not if, but when, the next natural disaster occurs. “What to Do Before, During and After a Natural Disaster in Alaska,” is a free publication provided by Cooperative Extension to community members to assist in preparing families for the unpredictable. Within its pages are an emergency supply list, a section on helping elderly and those with disabilities, as well as what to do before, during and after a disaster occurs. Mitigate your losses by preparing now. A free copy may be obtained at Cooperative Extension Service located at 43961 K-Beach Road, Suite A, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 am-5 pm. Or download a copy anytime at file:///C:/Users/ vheinz/Downloads/SAL-00009%20 (3).pdf Submitted by Vicki Heinz, Office Manager, UAF Cooperative Extension Service, Kenai Peninsula District. “We are Learning for Life.”

Pet-feeding methods

PET PAL Dear Readers: Jane H. emailed a picture of her furry and funny green-eyed, gorgeous adopted cat, Abby, intent on using Jane’s e-reader! Jane brought Abby home from the Helotes (Texas) Humane Society when she was 1 year old, and Jane says Abby’s been a delightful

member of the family ever since. And a wellread one, too! To see Abby and our other Pet Pals, visit www. Heloise.com and click on “Pet of the Week.” -- Heloise BOX IT Dear Heloise: When giving gifts containing multiple pieces, I include a plastic storage box. Crafts stores have them in all shapes and sizes. Parents appreciate having all the small pieces in one spot. Children enjoy being able to find items. -- Kay H., Little Rock, Ark. CHOCOLATE ART Dear Heloise: I have a hint for an arts and crafts project that is fun for old and young. Take a large, white paper towel and a bunch of refrigerated, candy-coated chocolates. Put them in your hand in the paper towel. The condensation from the warming candies will form a picture. I tried it, and it looks like a bouquet. -- Carol Ann, via email

Dear Heloise: I’ve read this column since the 1970s, but I haven’t seen this. With two cats and two litter boxes in the house, the aroma of cat urine is hard to eliminate. I was using the vacuum cleaner (which is stored in the laundry room near the litter boxes), and the smell was awful when I turned it on! Suddenly, a light bulb went off! I took off the hose attachment and ran some water through it. A nasty stream of stinky, tea-colored water poured into the sink, reeking of cat urine. Vacuuming stray bits of cat litter had filled the tube with dust that was impregnated with urine. I soaked the hose in a mild bleach solution, rinsed thoroughly and reattached -- problem solved! -- Julia D., via email MAKING UP FOR MISSING SERVICE Dear Heloise: If I can’t find anybody at the cash registers at the department store, I go to the cosmetics counter. There is always someone there, they have a cash register, and they are happy to check me out. -- Bobbi K., Waco, Texas

Diligent college student has less time for old friends DEAR ABBY: I’m in my early 20s and the only one in my circle of friends who’s currently in college. They all want to hang out all the time, but most of them live more than 100 miles away. I have a strict school schedule, and I’m required to study and earn high grades or I will be let go from my university. I don’t like feeling like I’m being a jerk telling my friends I can’t make it to certain events. How can I explain to them that I can’t drive there every weekend to hang out? Sometimes I wonder if we’re growing apart because they aren’t doing the same things I’m doing. Is there something wrong with me because I’m still holding on? How can I explain to them that we can’t be as close as we were? If you could help me figure out how to explain my situation without feeling guilty, it’d be great.

Every year I am astounded at the number of clients who don’t give me a gratuity on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many -- if not most -- tell me how pleased they are with my services, but surprisingly few do anything more Abigail Van Buren than that. I confess, it makes me feel underappreciated.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 18, 2018: This year you push hard to achieve a long-term goal, which could affect your day-to-day life. You might find that your routine changes, but your daily life seems more exciting. If you are single, you meet people with ease. When choosing a sweetie, consider what you want from a relationship before you get too involved. If you are attached, the two of you are more romantic with each other. Choose to appreciate what the other person has to offer. ARIES might push you to be more direct, but ultimately it is your choice. 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 What seems like a great idea in the morning could be a failure by the afternoon. Hold out until a close friend or loved one approaches you and gives you feedback. This person could open up a door that has remained closed up till now. Tonight: Someone could rain on your parade. This Week: Too much energy could push others away. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be too tired to keep pushing as you have been for the past few weeks. Put up your feet and relax. Do not worry about all the things you need to do. Take some much-needed downtime. You have pushed hard to achieve certain results. Tonight: Play it low-key. This Week: You hit your power days on Tuesday. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your friends are not likely to leave you alone. Calls and other forms of communication could keep you busy. If you planned for a quiet day, let that thought go. Say “yes” to a get-together with friends. Include your partner in your plans. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. This Week: Save Thursday for matters you need to be proactive about. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might get up early to see the sun rise or head off to church. Before you make it home, you likely will be invited to brunch. Wherever you are, relax and go with the flow. A partner could be in a bad mood, especially if he or she missed breakfast! Tonight: Indulge a loved one. This Week: Home in on a long-term desire. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A loved one demands your time early in the day. You know your limits and recognize when you have had enough. By the afternoon, you could get together with a friend. Go off to the movies and relax. Don’t push so hard. Let go of recent stress. Tonight: Happiest with loved ones. This Week: Review a far-out idea. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to try a different approach or handle a situation differently. When a partner decides to be more

proactive, you are likely to relax and go with the flow. You can go along with this person’s choices. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a favorite meal. This Week: Take a look behind the scenes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH In the morning, you might want to reach out to a family member whom you have not heard from in a while. You’ll feel more upbeat as a result. You might want to make plans that involve just you and a key loved one. You need some time with this person. Tonight: Accept an offer. This Week: Others certainly notice you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Your creativity entices a loved one. You might want to spend some more time with this person. Pursue a mutual hobby or favorite pastime. This experience is likely to draw you closer together. Do not push too hard, as tomorrow is a workday. Tonight: Avoid a confrontation. This Week: Your concern with a moneymaking venture becomes obvious. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be hesitant to say what’s on your mind. You might want to spend some time away from the here-andnow. You would like to invite a certain person to join you for an adventure. Explore the possibility, but do so subtly. Tonight: Add more excitement to your life. This Week: Remember that anything is possible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You could be out of sorts, as you have many ideas that will be nixed. Listen to a loved one about what he or she thinks. The two of you could have a fun time together, but you might be overly concerned about a roommate or family member. Tonight: Happiest at home. This Week: Your creativity flourishes midweek. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You need to clear your mind of an obligation or two before you accept an offer that could take you right out the door. You don’t have to go far to get past a problem or situation that serves as a distraction in your life. Seek out a loved one for some feedback. Tonight: Speak your mind. This Week: Consider working from home if you want to accomplish more. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Your best hours occur in the morning. You could feel exhausted, but might have some errands you want to get done. Do not allow anyone to slow you down. Go where you want. Curb excessive spending if possible. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a movie or to some live music. This Week: Tension mounts until Tuesday, when you decide to open up. BORN TODAY Actor Owen Wilson (1968), astronaut Alan Shepard (1923)

Dear Readers: When feeding your dog or cat, there are TWO METHODS: leaving food down all day long so your pet can eat whenever, or lunchtime and dinnertime (food’s down for 15 minutes twice a day). Here’s the scoop on each method: Free feeding is convenient; you don’t have to think about it, and food is always available. The bad sides? Obesity; no limits to eating can pile on the pounds. Also, you may not detect a lack of appetite in your pet, which can be an illness symptom. Scheduled feedings are better if you have multiple animals or small breeds. Routine, small, predictable meals can help with digestion. Ask your veterinarian which method of feeding is best for your pet. -- Heloise

Giving Back

• Kids can arrange to visit nursing homes or assisted living homes and spend time with seniors. They might play bingo, read or just talk with the older people. • A Scout troop might offer to volunteer at an animal shelter. The Scouts could help clean the kennels, walk and play with the animals, make signs for pet adoption programs, and collect food and toys for the pets.

Thanksgiving is this week, and other winter holidays are coming up fast. What will you do for the special days? Some people: • travel to see family and friends. • exchange gifts with others. • attend services at a house of worship. • cook and bake special foods. • give time, goods or money to people who have less. Helping others is an important part of many family holiday traditions. People might buy gifts for needy children or serve food at shelters for homeless people.

What kids can do

The holiday season often reminds us how important it is to help people who have less than we do. But you may want to help other people during the rest of the year, too. Start by asking yourself a few questions: 1. What would I like to fix about my community? 2. Whom do I like to work with? Animals? Other kids? Senior citizens? 3. What can I do to make the world more fair? 4. When I see a problem, what kinds of ideas do I have for solving it? The answers to these questions may help you discover a cause you can work toward.

Family fun

Kids can find ways to volunteer by contacting service-oriented groups such as Youth Service America, 4-H, Camp Fire, YMCA or United Way. Families might also set up a regular schedule for volunteer activities. For instance, they might choose one Saturday each month to do service work together.

Giving ideas

Leaders of service groups told The Mini Page that today’s kids volunteer, or do helpful work without being paid, much more than kids did in earlier generations. Kids may volunteer through their church, Scouts or other service programs. What’s more, most adults who volunteer regularly started when they were children. Many of the same people who give their time also give money to help others. Experts say that kids who volunteer get positive effects from their work. They are more likely to stay in school and have better behavior. They are less likely to use alcohol or drugs.

• Lots of kids get involved in improving the environment. They might clean up rivers and streams, organize recycling centers at home or at school, collect aluminum cans for recycling or start a community garden. • A Sunday school group might arrange to visit kids in a local hospital. They can play cards or games, read or just talk with the patients during their treatments. • A classroom might start a book or toy drive. Families at the school could donate books and toys to be delivered to a homeless shelter where kids stay.

Wood ash from stoves & fireplaces can sometimes help soil

This 2018 photo of wood stove ashes shows a nutrient-rich sample free of any residue from pressure-treated wood, painted wood or cardboard. (Dean Fosdick via AP)

For gardeners who heat their homes in winter using stoves or fireplaces, good-quality wood ashes can be a soil-amendment bonus. But if applied improperly, they can be a caustic topping for foliage-heavy plants and seedlings. The primary benefits of recycling wood ash into the soil are for fertilizing and raising pH levels to make soil less acidic, said Leonard Perry, horticulture professor emeritus with the University of Vermont. Soil pH acidity is measured on a 14-point scale, with 7 being neutral. Anything below 7 is classified acidic. Anything above that is alkaline. “What this means for soil ashes is that if your soil is 6.5 to 7 or above, don’t add them,” Perry said in a fact sheet. Always test the soil before spreading ashes. “Too high a pH will bind up micronutrients that your crops need,” said Julia Gaskin, a land application specialist with the University of Georgia Extension Service. “If you are just getting started in a garden spot, soil-test every year until you get the fertility and soil organic matter right. Then you can test every other year or so.” Wood ash contains calcium, magnesium, and potassium among a dozen or more important nutrients. “They vary widely with the types of trees being burned,” Gaskin said. Hardwoods, including oak, maple, ash, hickory, sycamore, walnut, apple and cherry, burn hotter and longer. They also produce several times more ash and contain more nutrients than softwoods like pine and fir. Avoid using fireplace or wood ashes from pressure-treated wood, painted wood and cardboard. They carry chemicals that can harm plants. The same goes for charcoal residue from BBQ grills, fake fireplace logs and coal. Those should go to the landfill. Wood ash can be used sparingly in gardens, spread thinly over lawns and stirred thoroughly into compost piles. Lawns needing lime and potassium benefit from wood ash — 10 to 15 pounds per 1,000 square feet, Perry said. “This is the amount you may get from one cord of firewood,” he said. Spreading wood ash on compost piles keeps the acidity level near neutral. “Sprinkle some on each layer of compost as you build the pile,” Perry said. “Another option is to store wood ashes dry, then make a ‘tea’ with them during the growing season for watering plants and so providing some nutrition.” Avoid applying wood ashes if you’re about to seed your garden, said Alicia Lamborn, a horticulturist with University of Florida Extension. “If you want to use wood ash as a pH source, then do it three to six months before you plant,” Lamborn said. “It takes some time to work it into the soil. A chemical change needs to occur. You want to do that ahead of time before you put any plants into the ground.” Some people store the ash they remove from their stoves in winter for applications throughout the year. “You don’t want to pile it on in one season or just one time,” Lamborn said. Do not spread ashes around acid-loving plants like blueberries, strawberries, azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, holly, potatoes or parsley. Plants that thrive with a dressing of wood ash include garlic, chives, leeks, lettuces, asparagus and stone-fruit trees.

A Thanksgiving Countdown: holiday planning made easier By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press

Thanksgiving is just around the bend, and if you are hosting you might already be thinking about how you might plan things better this year, how to make it all a bit less stressful. While the truly prepared are already polishing their napkin rings, the rest of us are just starting to wonder, “How can I not want to throw a gravy boat out the window?” Let me start by saying, striving for perfection is overrated. The messiness and imperfectness of the holidays is part of what makes each one memorable and particular to your family or the band of friends you share the occasion with. Still, there are strategies and tricks to making sure Thanksgiving runs smoothly. Here’s a game plan for getting things done ahead of time so you can truly enjoy the turkey and pie along with your gang.

ONE WEEK BEFORE 1. Lists, lists, lists: Plan your menu, and make shopping lists, guest lists, lists of who is bringing what, lists of who needs to be picked up when. 2. Create a timeline leading all the way up to the “Dinner is Served” moment. Determine when you are going to get things done (for example, two days before, make Brussels sprouts; one day before, arrange the flowers, etc.). Write down all of the little things, like putting the mashed potatoes into the oven to reheat, filling the ice bucket, setting out the appetizers. 3. Do the Turkey Math: Calculate how long the turkey needs to be in the oven, and remember that it might take up the whole oven for that length of time. Plan accordingly. 4. Write down who is responsible for what: Giving people a written list of tasks with a time frame makes things clear for them, and lets you hand off things neatly. 5. Buy all non-perishables, including drinks (alcoholic and non), canned and boxed items (broth, cranberries), baking staples (flour, butter, refrigerated pie crusts — what? They are terrific!), and also sturdier produce like potatoes, apples, squash and carrots. Make sure someone is home to help you unload. 6. Give any silver a quick polish (though I firmly believe the slightly tarnished look is in), iron any tablecloths and cloth napkins (though I firmly believe the slightly wrinkled look is in), find those candlesticks and candles. 7. Locate roasting pans, food processor This 2017 photo provided by Katie Workman shows food on the table at her apartment in New blades, potato ricers, whatever equipment you’ll York.

Protect your home (and more) from winter’s freeze Service HVAC systems It’s important to ensure that heating systems are working properly prior to the cold-weather season. It may only take hours for the interior of a home to reach dangerously low temperatures without adequate heat. Homeowners should schedule annual checkups of furnaces and hot water heaters. Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, install a clean air filter and make sure all thermostats are working properly.

Have fuel ready

Freezing temperatures may be good for ice skating or building snowmen, but sub-freezing temperatures can be dangerous for the average person and his or her home. Cold weather often leaves people scurrying to do whatever is necessary to safeguard themselves from the big chill. But it’s important homeowners also protect their homes in cold weather.

Homeowners who heat their homes with oil, wood or coal should make sure they have plenty of fuel on hand in advance of winter. Shortages can occur, and it may take some time for new fuel to arrive in the midst of a cold snap. As a precaution, homeowners can rely on portable space heaters to fill in the heating gaps during freezing temperatures.

CALM BLANKET

Do you know somebody who feels they’re failing at sleep? The folks at MyCalmBlanket have borrowed a tool used to soothe anxiety and other sleep disrupters — a weighted blanket. The cotton inner blanket uses glass beads to provide mild pressure based on body weight. The blanket, which measures 48 inches by 72 inches, should weigh 7 to 12 percent of the sleeper. For a person who weighs 80 to 100 pounds, for example, a 10-pound blanket would do. An outer duvet, in a gray square quilted design, is made of minky, a soft polyester velour. The creators caution that the blanket should not be used by

anyone who likely would not be able to remove it on their own. Buying the right weight is key otherwise. It comes in four weights, from 10 pounds to 25 pounds. Search around because many other weighted blankets are available. This one, intended for use year-round by one person at a time, costs $169.99 for the 10-, 15- and 20-pound versions, and $199.99 for the 25-pound blanket.

BUDDHA BOARDS & SAND GARDENS A token gift or actually pretty Zen? Your gift recipient may get a tickle out of one of these either way. Buddha Boards come in a range of styles and sizes now. They provide a surface for creating fleeting designs with water, a bamboo brush, a bowl and a stand to catch drips included. Mini Zen sand gardens are a world onto themselves, with little tools, bridges, rocks, trees and Buddha statues available. One company, Zen Life, offers a set of eight sand stamps in floral, spiral and polygon shapes. $17.95 on Amazon.

Some ideas on how to revitalize your aging sofa

Couches are an important component of living rooms and dens, serving as comfortable places to relax. Sofas will be sat on, slept on and,

if young children are in the house, sometimes jumped on. Homeowners looking for new sofas often prioritize comfort, but they also want

a sofa that can withstand the test of time. Although there’s no magic formula, a sturdy sofa should have a lifespan of around 10 years. Accord-

ing to Houzz, quality sofas should feel solid and heavy. They should have joints that are double doweled and fitted with corner blocks that are both glued and screwed (not stapled) into place. Over time, even the sturdiest couch can start to show its age and look a bit past its prime. Don’t fret. There are some easy ways to give that aging sofa a makeover. Begin by reviewing the service agreement. If you purchased an extended warranty or protection plan on the furniture, you may be eligible for repairs at no cost. Stores will restrict just what is covered under such service plans, and regular wear and tear may be excluded. However, rips, certain stains or opening seams may be eligible for repair. Covered costs means not having to spend any money out of pocket.

Cleaning may be another simple fix. Check with the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning. Certain fabrics require specific cleaning solutions. If you are ever unsure about what to use to clean the sofa, use a mild solution of soap and water in an inconspicuous spot first. Many carpet and upholstery cleaning solutions can be used on furniture. Use sparingly and test for color-fastness before cleaning the entire couch. For those who are skittish about cleaning the sofa on their own, consult with a professional upholstery cleaning service. Slipcovers are another option to revitalizing the look of an aging sofa. Fitted slipcovers slide right over the existing couch cushions and can change an outdated sofa into one that looks brand new. Measuring correctly and

buying accordingly will help achieve a seamless look. There also are some easy do-it-yourself fixes for couches that may be sagging or looking deflated. If seat cushions can be removed, consider placing firm cardboard or wood on top of the springs to provide more firmness. Cushions may begin to sag when the springs underneath begin to lose their elasticity. If the cushions are the problem, replacing the foam in the cushions or the loosefill stuffing in the pillows can breathe new life into the couch. Foam can begin to disintegrate and lose its shape and integrity. Craft stores, home improvement centers and fabric stores often carry foam products, but those you can’t find might be available via online orders. Do not give up on a sofa just yet. It may be repaired or given a fresh look to make it appear like new.

New exercise guidelines: Move more, sit less, start younger By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer

CHICAGO — Move more, sit less and get kids active as young as age 3, say new federal guidelines that stress that any amount and any type of exercise helps health. The advice is the first update since the government’s physical activity guidelines came out a decade ago. Since then, the list of benefits of exercise has grown, and there’s more evidence to back things that were of unknown value before, such as short, high-intense workouts and taking the stairs instead of an elevator. “Doing something is better than doing nothing, and doing more is better than doing something,” said Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones, a preventive medicine expert at Northwestern University in Chicago. Only 20 percent of Americans get enough exercise now, and the childhood obesity problem has prompted the push to aim younger to prevent poor health later in life. Highlights of the advice released Monday at an American Heart Association conference in Chicago and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association:

begin at age 6, but the new ones say preschoolers ages 3 through 5 should be encouraged to take part in active play throughout the day. They don’t call for a certain amount but say a reasonable target may be three hours of various intensities. That’s consistent with guidelines in many other countries and is the average amount of activity observed in kids this age. From ages 6 through 17, at least an hour of moderate-tovigorous activity throughout the day is recommended. Most of it should be aerobic, the kind that gets the heart rate up such as brisk walking, biking or running. At least three times a week, exercise should be vigorous and include muscle- and bone-strengthening activities like climbing on playground equipment or playing sports.

ADULTS

Duration stays the same — at least 2½ to 5 hours of moderate-intensity or 1 ¼ to 2 ½ hours of vigorous activity a week, plus at least two days that include muscle-strengthening exercise like pushups or lifting weights. One key change: It used to be thought that aerobic activity had to be done for at least 10 minutes. Now even short CHILDREN AND times are known to help. Even TEENS a single episode of activity The biggest change: Start gives short-term benefits such young. Guidelines used to as lowering blood pressure, re-

ducing anxiety and improving sleep. Sitting a lot is especially harmful. The advice is similar for older adults, but activities should include things that promote balance to help avoid falls.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTER E Targeting young children is the goal of a project that Dr. Valentin Fuster, a cardiologist at New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital, has worked on for years

with the Heart Association and Sesame Workshop, producers of television’s “Sesame Street.” At the heart conference, he gave results of an intensive four-month program to improve knowledge and attitudes about exercise and health among 562 kids ages 3 to 5 in Head Start

preschools in Harlem. “It was really successful,” Fuster said. “Once they understand how the body works, they begin to understand physical activity” and its importance. When brains are young, “it’s the best opportunity” to set health habits that last, he said.

Meditation helps vets with post-traumatic stress disorder By CARLA K. JOHNSON AP Medical Writer

Meditation worked as well as traditional therapy for military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder in a small experiment sponsored by the Department of Defense. One method preferred by the Department of Veterans Affairs is exposure therapy, but it doesn’t work for everyone and many can’t handle what it requires: purposely recalling traumatic events and confronting emotions. Meditation could be a better choice for some, the researchers said. The experiment tested meditation against exposure therapy, which involves working with a therapist and gradually letting go of fears triggered by painful memories. Many vets won’t try exposure therapy or drop out because it’s too difficult, said Thomas Rutledge, the study’s senior author and a Veterans Affairs psychologist in San Diego. Evidence for meditation “allows us to put more options on the table” with confidence they work, Rutledge said.

The study was published Thursday in the journal Lancet Psychiatry. About 400,000 veterans had a PTSD diagnosis in 2013, according to the VA health system. The VA already is using meditation, yoga and similar approaches to supplement traditional therapy with PTSD, said Paula Schnurr, executive director of the VA’s National Center for PTSD. While the three-month study adds to evidence supporting these lifestyle practices, Schnurr said, more research is needed to learn how long meditation’s benefits last. “There’s no follow-up in this study,” Schnurr noted, and one therapist did 80 percent of the exposure therapy so the findings hinge largely on one therapist’s skills. Researchers measured symptoms in about 200 San Diego area veterans randomly assigned to one of three groups. Some learned to meditate. Others got exposure therapy. The third group attended classes where they learned about nutrition and exercise. All sessions were once a week for 90 minutes. After three months, 61 percent of the meditation group

improved on a standard PTSD assessment, compared to 42 percent of those who got exposure therapy and 32 percent of those who went to classes. When researchers accounted for other factors, meditation was better than the classes and equally effective as exposure therapy. The researchers defined success as at least a 10-point improvement in scores on a standard symptoms test, given to participants by people who did not know which kind of treatment they’d received. The test measures symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares and insomnia. PTSD also can be treated with medications or other types of talk therapy. Many of the participants were taking prescribed medicine for PTSD. Most of the vets were men with combat-related trauma, so it’s not clear whether meditation would be equally effective in women or with other types of trauma. There’s growing interest in meditation in the United States. A government survey last year found 14 percent of adults said they had recently meditated, up from 4 percent from a similar survey five years earlier.

There are many styles of meditation. The type taught to vets in the study was transcendental meditation, or TM, which involves thinking of a mantra or sound to settle the mind. TM was developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a guru to the Beatles in the late 1960s.

Some of the study authors are affiliated with a university in Fairfield, Iowa, founded by Maharishi. Their role was to oversee the meditation training. Rutledge, who was the principal researcher, said he does not practice meditation himself.

Meditation could be more acceptable to veterans who might associate mental health treatment with weakness, Rutledge said. “It’s probably less threatening,” he said. “It may be easier to talk to veterans about participating in something like meditation.”

Cutting them off: Owners ponder limits on alcohol at parties

NEW YORK — The alcohol will flow less freely, and sometimes not at all, at some small business parties this holiday season. Owners concerned about sexual misconduct and the safety of staffers and guests are eliminating or limiting the open bar, making their events alcohol-free or switching from a traditional cocktail party to activities including games and contests. Human resources consultants and employment law attorneys say they’re fielding more questions about alcohol and parties than in the past

following the string of highprofile sexual misconduct cases that began a year ago. They’re advising their small business clients to impose limits on how much people drink. Ladan Davia decided there’d be no drinking at her company’s party this year after two incidents at last year’s gathering — a male staffer and then a female staffer who were drunk groped other co-workers. “I’m creating a safer environment for everyone,” says Davia, owner of Beeya, a job search website based in Irvine, California. “While I know it can be seen as ‘not fair’ for banning alcohol from our holiday party, I would respond saying it’s ‘not

fair’ for anyone to feel uncomfortable especially in their place of work.” Davia understands that alcohol becomes a form of entertainment at an office party, so she’s going to have substitutes for her 11 staffers and their guests: a magician, games and prizes. HR consultant Rob Wilson has gotten many more calls than in the past from companies needing help with party policies. Even owners who haven’t had problems are asking about going alcohol-free or limiting everyone’s intake. Some owners ask whether they should have chaperones to ensure no one is overdrinking or trying to grope anyone.

“They’re much more cautious than I’ve ever seen,” says Wilson, president of Chicago-based Employco. Owners’ questions come from their concerns about staffers’ well-being and the fact they’re legally liable if drunken employees or guests are in accidents of any kind, hurting themselves or others. The company is also liable if a staffer sexually harasses or verbally or physically abuses anyone. There are ways to prevent problems, starting with banning or limiting alcohol. One way to put the brakes on drinking is to give staffers coupons or tickets for drinks. Another option is to serve only wine and beer.

Some of Jay Starkman’s small business clients struggle with the idea of not serving alcohol. They’re concerned about sending a negative message to staffers. “They’re saying, ‘I don’t want to not trust my people, or insinuate that they’re a problem,” says Starkman, CEO of Engage PEO, an HR provider based in Hollywood, Florida. Using drink coupons is a way around that concern, Starkman says. Julia Kravets used to have an open bar at the parties at her Brooklyn, New York, restaurant, Little Choc Apothecary, but some employees drank so much they became sick and Kravets had to help them into cabs. Last year, Kravets brought in games “as opposed to just standing there and alcohol is the only activity.” She did serve wine, but no one drank to the point of vomiting and “I didn’t have to revive anybody,” Kravets says. When small business clients ask employment law attorney Mark Kluger what they should do, he tells them, no alcohol, period. But Kluger says that has been the most ignored advice given by the lawyers at his New Jersey-based firm, Kluger Healey, even though when alcohol is served, “things can get out of hand and often do.” This year, clients’ concerns about alcohol are ramped up because of the potential for sexual misconduct. Kluger suggests they follow his firm’s example — it’s not serving alcohol and is having its party at a hatchetthrowing venue. Kluger believes his staffers and guests won’t miss drinking because they’ll be having fun throwing hatchets at wooden targets, much like the events in lumberjack competitions. “We need to walk the walk,” Kluger says. “Last year, we went bowling and we kept so busy, people weren’t thinking, ‘hey, we’re not drinking.’”

Jonathan Bell, also an employment lawyer, is serving alcohol at his firm’s party at a restaurant. But, he says, “we are sending an email before the holiday party about being responsible both for purposes of safety and for sexual harassment.” He’s also not allowing alcohol in the last hour of the celebration, and if his 11 staffers and/or their guests are drinking too much, he’ll ask the restaurant to stop serving altogether. Bell, founder of the Bell Law Group in Garden City, New York, is putting his staff on notice that they face discipline if they drink too much and behave badly. He notes that under the law, misconduct at a companysponsored event is the equivalent of misconduct at work. He suggests all employers issue similar warnings — giving employees a reality check can help them stay in line. “That seems to bring the focus to everyone that while they’re hanging out and having a good time socially, they need to be responsible,” he says.

FDA to crack down on menthol cigarettes, flavored vapes By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer

NEW YORK — In a major new effort to curb smoking, a top U.S. health official pledged Thursday to try to ban menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars and tighten rules governing the sale of most flavored versions of electronic cigarettes. The proposed restrictions were aimed mainly at reducing smoking in kids: About half of teens who smoke cigarettes choose menthols, and flavored e-cigarettes have been blamed for a recent increase in teen vaping rates. “I will not allow a generation of children to become addicted to nicotine through e-cigarettes,” Scott Gottlieb, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said in a statement. Health advocates say a menthol ban would have greater impact on the health of Americans, but it would probably take years to put in place. The changes for e-cigarettes could kick in within a few months. Battery-powered e-cigarettes are more popular among teens than regular smokes and are considered safer. But many versions contain potentially addictive nicotine, and health officials believe they set kids who try them on a path toward regular cigarettes. Gottlieb called for additional steps to prevent the marketing of e-cigarettes directly to kids and online sales to minors. He also proposed beefing up measures to ensure that convenience stores and some other retailers do not sell e-cigarettes in kid-friendly flavors such as cherry and vanilla. They could still be sold in vape shops or other businesses that do not admit minors. Smoking is the nation’s leading cause of preventable illness, causing more than 480,000 deaths each year. The FDA currently bans sales of e-cigarettes and tobacco products to those under 18.

In 2009, the government banned a number of kid-friendly flavorings in cigarettes. But after an aggressive lobbying effort by tobacco companies, menthol was exempted. Gottlieb’s proposal for ecigarette flavorings also exempts menthol. He said menthol e-cigarettes may be an option for adults who turn to vaping products to quit regular cigarettes, and he decided not to push for an end to menthol flavoring in vaping products. Smoking has been declining for more than five decades. Some 42 percent of U.S. adults smoked in the early 1960s. Last year, the rate was down to 14 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts credit anti-smoking campaigns, cigarette taxes and smoking bans for most of the decline in the adult rate. But some say adult smokers switching to e-cigarettes have also helped in recent years. The cigarette smoking rate is even lower among high school students — about 9 percent, according to the latest figures. But e-cigarette use jumped 78 percent this year among U.S. high school kids and 48 percent among middle school kids, Gottlieb said. He cited a survey this past spring of more than 20,000 middle and high school students. About 21 percent of high schoolers said they had vaped recently, and 5 percent of middle schoolers said they had. Some experts attribute the jump to newer versions of ecigarettes, like those by Juul Labs Inc. of San Francisco. These products resemble computer flash drives, can be recharged in USB ports and can be used discreetly. “The increase in e-cigarette popularity (among kids) is almost certainly not a function of flavors. All the flavors were out there already,” said Kenneth Warner, a University of Michigan emeritus public health pro-

fessor who is a leading authority on smoking and health. The FDA has taken earlier steps to investigate the marketing of e-cigarettes by Juul and other companies. Getting out ahead of the FDA announcement, Juul on Tuesday stopped filling store orders for mango, fruit, creme and cucumber pods and will resume sales only to retailers that scan IDs and take other steps to verify a buyer is at least 21. The company said Juul will continue to sell menthol and mint at stores, and sell all flavors through its website. Health advocates generally applauded the e-cigarette plans, but some said they did not go far enough. Some called for a complete ban of flavorings, for example, and a more aggressive regulation of e-cigarettes that have come on the market in the last two years. The proposed sales restrictions on e-cigarettes “are a step forward, but by themselves are not enough to stem the youth ecigarette epidemic,” said Robin Koval, chief executive of the Truth Initiative, an advocacy group that runs anti-tobacco ads. Gottlieb acknowledged that he could have taken more aggressive steps, “but I don’t want to foreclose opportunities for currently addicted adult

smokers” to access e-cigarettes as they try to quit regular smokes. He also said he hopes ecigarette companies work to restrict kids from buying their products. If current efforts do not succeed, he’s willing to take more steps later, he said. Menthol cigarettes, which contain a minty compound that reduces the harshness of smoke and suppresses coughing, were widely marketed starting in the 1950s and 1960s. Roughly a third of the cigarettes sold today are menthols, according to some estimates. The e-cigarette measures will probably face little opposition, but Gottlieb “has guts” to pursue a menthol prohibition because it will draw political and legal fire from the tobacco industry and its supporters, Warner said. An official with Altria Group Inc., one of the big tobacco companies, said a total ban on menthol cigarettes or flavored cigars “would be an extreme measure not supported by the science and evidence.” Murray Garnick, Altria’s general counsel, said the company expects that establishing product standards on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars “will be a multi-year, deliberative process.”

Staining wood can transform the look of everything from fencing to decking. While wood can be beautiful in its natural state, staining can protect the wood and complement landscaping and other home design elements. Staining can seem like a simple project, and that is often true. However, certain woods, such as pine, cherry, maple, and birch, can be difficult to stain. Boards with attractive grain patterns also can absorb stain differently, resulting in blotching and uneven tone. Before beginning a staining project, it is important for homeowners to test the stain chosen on a sample piece of wood to see how the color and absorption turn out. This gives homeowners the chance to understand what they’re dealing with and time to make any necessary accommodations to achieve a more even look. Begin by gathering the necessary supplies. A pair of latex or vinyl gloves will protect your hands. Drop cloths will catch any drips or spills. Safety goggles and a dust mask provide protection if sanding is required prior to staining. If sanding is necessary, homeowners will need an orbital sander, hand sander and sandpaper. Start with the coarsest grit sandpaper and move to a higher grit for a smooth finish.

Wood that is covered in paint may need to be stripped prior to sanding. Follow the directions carefully when using chemical strippers. Natural bristle paint brushes are handy for oil-based stain applications. Synthetic paint brushes can apply water-based finishes. Many do-it-yourselfers find that foam brushes or paint pads are the most handy because they provide a smooth finish and there’s no need to clean up the brushes afterward. Many professionals recommend using wood conditioners or pre-treaters so that the stain will not leave blotches on the wood. This is especially important for homeowners who determined their wood is prone to uneven color absorption. Allow the conditioner to dry according to product directions. Stain should be applied so that it is evenly coated. Wipe off the excess to get the preferred color. Apply more stain as necessary to get the desired color. Many stains only offer color, so you’ll need to apply a finishing coat to protect the wood. Otherwise, look for a product that combines stain color and a finish to save time. Remember to remove knobs, hinges, and handles from a piece before staining, as the stain may affect the color of any metal hardware and damage it.
