In the news Wildlife officials consider killing nuisance Kodiak bears KODIAK (AP) — Alaska wildlife officials are considering killing nuisance bears in Kodiak if they don’t go into hibernation soon. City manager Mike Tvenge told the council last week that state Department of Fish and Game officials working with Kodiak police will likely kill these bears, noting that nonlethal measures have become less effective against the animals, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported. “Kodiak Police Department is working closely with Alaska Department of Fish and Game to deter the bears from getting into the (trash) roll carts, but those efforts have had short-lasting effects,” Tvenge told the city officials. “The bears are now becoming used to the non-lethal bullets and pepper shots.” Police and wildlife officials have responded to several calls in recent weeks about bears getting into trash around town. In one incident last month, a bear broke into a garage. Kodiak police will provide backup to the wildlife officials, who have already accompanied officers on some patrols, police Lt. Francis de la Fuente said. Killing a bear in a residential area is not an easy task, he said. The wildlife department does not usually decide to kill a bear without first conferring with appropriate local, state or federal agencies, said Nate Svoboda, a department wildlife biologist. “Making the decision to dispatch a bear is not something ADF&G often endorses, as this does little to curb the fundamental problem of bears getting into easily accessible and unprotected trash,” Svoboda said. Before killing a bear, the department will first try to address core problems, like what’s attracting the bear to the area, Svoboda said. Relocating bears is not a viable option, he said. “This can be very difficult, time-consuming, resource intense and expensive, and typically does little to solve the core problem,” Svoboda said. “In addition, relocating bears to other regions can disrupt the natural system in the area the bear gets relocated.”

Multiuse trails, singletrack Kenai works transform Slikok Creek area to attract

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

In preparation for the arrival of the Arctic Winter Games to the Kenai Peninsula in 2006, Dale Bagley, then the borough mayor, and Tsalteshi Trails gurus Alan Boraas, Bill Holt and Allan Miller walked the land across the Sterling Highway from the Central Peninsula Landfill prospecting for a good place to host biathlon. Ultimately, the four decided that if the peninsula was looking to show its best face to northern regions from around the world, biathlon should take place a little farther from the dump and the highway. But the land made an impression. “We got really excited and started laying out trails that same year,” said Holt, the maintenance and development manager at Tsalteshi Trails. “I’ve thought about this land a lot in the past five years with a lot of different people.” Two features combine to make the area perfect for trails. Rocks and other deposits left by retreating glaciers have created rolling hills, potholes and eskers, or long, fingerlike ridges.

The land also gradually slopes down to Slikok Creek, giving a trail designer even more options. “It’s nice, rolling terrain,” Holt said. “That’s what makes it terrific. It’s always rollercoasty. Then that long, gradual downhill to Slikok Creek. That makes it even better.” The land between Skyview Middle School and Kalifornsky Beach Road hosting Tsalteshi Trails isn’t too shabby, either, and for that reason potential trails in the Slikok area went unrealized for more than 10 years after the quartet first walked it. Meanwhile, Tsalteshi was refined into a ski-trail system that Holt said approaches World Cup quality. Last spring, Boraas checked with his son, who runs a trail-building company in Juneau, and got back an estimate that the design and construction of Tsalteshi would cost about $5 million if done today. The problem with ski trails is that they don’t play nicely with other winter pursuits. Biking, hiking, dogs and snowshoeing all degrade the meticulous quality that Holt and This map, provided by Bill Holt of Tsalteshi Trails, shows the See TRAIL, page A14 new Slikok Trails.

new business By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Kenai is open for business. Several entrepreneurs have chosen to set up shop in Kenai, like the new Brothers’ Cafe, Puffin Chiropractor, and Magical Gardens. However, a former Pizza Hut restaurant, Carl’s Jr. drive-thru, Lowe’s Home Improvement store, and a bowling alley still sit empty along with other vacant buildings, storefronts and facilities. For Kenai, these properties mean potential. The city administration is working on several projects to match entrepreneurs with parcels that will work for them and their business. One of the biggest projects the city is undertaking is compiling data on all city-owned land and what it could be best used for, Christine Cunningham, assistant to the city manager of Kenai, said. “The city is a major landSee BIZ, page A14

Soldotna troopers welcome new canine officer By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Alaska State Troopers in Soldotna have a new partner ready to sniff out crime. Since the middle of July, the Alaska State Trooper post on Kalifornsky Beach Road has become the new employer of 3-year-old Donna, who has joined the force as part of the canine unit. Trooper Jason Woodruf said the station has worked with three dogs during his tenure in Soldotna, but Donna is the first he has personally worked with. Troopers that take command of a dog spend every hour of the day with them, including off-duty hours at home. “Being a canine handler is such an advantage, because basically I have a partner right there,” Woodruff said. “It’s one of the greatest things, having such a great partner.”

Donna is a Belgian Malinois, a large and strong breed that holds similarities to the popular German shepherd and came to the Soldotna troopers post from Europe via a California kennel. Woodruff says it is unknown where in Europe Donna came from, but she was selected from a group of about a dozen dogs. Dogs who work as police companions assist in drug and patrol units in myriad ways, so it is important they choose the right one for the job. “Sometimes we work in remote areas and may have two others we’re working with, but not always,” Woodruff said. “So somebody can’t always be there with you all the time. Woodruff said the qualities of the Belgian Malinois Alaska State Trooper Jason Woodruff poses with his new canine co-worker, Donna, on Oct. 17 that make them attractive to in downtown Kenai.

The Alaska SeaLife Center released a male harbor seal named Hubbard back into the wild from Bishop’s Beach in Homer last Thursday. The seal was brought to the SeaLife Center after it was spotted on the beach by bystanders in Clam Gulch this July. Homer resident and SeaLife Center Volunteer Marc Webber observed the seal from a distance, after consulting the SeaLife Center Wildlife Response Team. The seal was very thin and not moving his right flipper. Webber recovered the seal and transported him to Soldotna, where he was met by the Wildlife Response Team. While under the SeaLife

ANCHORAGE — The first formal count of polar bears in waters between the United States and Russia indicates they’re doing better than some of their cousins elsewhere. Polar bears are listed as a threatened species because of diminished sea ice due to climate change. But university and federal researchers estimate a robust and abundant population of nearly 3,000 animals in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s northwest coast, according to a study published Wednesday in Scientific Reports. “It the near-term, it’s abso-

lutely good news,” said lead author Eric Regehr, who began the project more than a decade ago as a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist and last year joined the University of Washington’s Polar Science Center. In the longer term, it doesn’t mean the Chukchi Sea bear population will not be affected. “Polar bears need ice to hunt seals, and the ice is projected to decline until the underlying problem of climate change is addressed,” Regehr said. The study shows there is variation around the world in the effects of sea ice loss on polar bears, he said Thursday. “Some subpopulations are See POLAR, page A2

Fire refugees camp in Walmart lot By KATHLEEN RONAYNE and BRIAN MELLEY Associated Press

CHICO, Calif. — Fire refugee Anna Goodnight sat on an overturned shopping cart Thursday morning in a Walmart parking lot as she ate scrambled eggs and tater tots while her husband drank a Budweiser. The couple was trying to put a good face on a weeklong ordeal that left them uncertain of the fate of their home and now had them camping next to the store with hundreds of others forced to flee from a deadly Northern California wildfire. But William Goodnight finally lost it and began to cry. “We’re grateful. We’re better off than some. I’ve been holding it together for her,” he said, gesturing toward his wife. “I’m just breaking down finally.” With the Goodnights’ hometown of Paradise destroyed, thousands of homes gone and untold neighbors dead, uncertainty hangs over survivors like smoke still clouding the sky over Chico. For those who have turned a grassy lot next to the Walmart into an informal campground, the anxiety of what lies ahead is even greater. They have no roof overhead — just a filament of nylon that

already declining while others are still doing OK,” he said. Polar bears are classified as marine mammals because they spend most of their lives on sea ice. Less sea ice means less productive time to hunt ice seals, more time on shore and longer, energy-sapping swims. The world’s polar bears are divided into 19 subpopulations, including two in U.S. waters. Besides Chukchi bears, the United States shares the southern Beaufort Sea population with Canada. Stress in southern Beaufort

provides privacy but little security. It’s chilly at night and they wonder what will happen if it rains and where they’ll go if the camp closes Sunday, as planned. “It’s cold and scary,” said Lilly Batres, 13, one of the few children here, who fled with her family from Magalia and don’t

know if they have a home to return to. “I feel like people are going to come into our tent.” Word began to spread Thursday that efforts were being made to phase out the camp by gradually removing donated clothing, food and toilets. “The ultimate goal is to get

these people out of tents, out of their cars and into warm shelter, into homes,” said Jessica Busick, who was among the first volunteers when she and her husband started serving free food from their Truckaroni food truck. “We’ve always known this isn’t a long-term solution.”

bears from a loss of sea ice was partly why the United States in 2008 declared polar bears a threatened species. Fewer cubs were surviving into their second year and adult males weighed less and had smaller skulls, the U.S. Geological Survey found. Researcher Steven Amstrup at the time said the trends were consistent with changes in nutritional status likely associated with declines in sea ice. A more recent study by USGS research Karyn Rode found that Chukchi bears spend more time on shore and have almost 30 fewer days to hunt seals on ice than 20 years ago, Regehr said. However, that doesn’t appear to have affected

the population, he said. Polar bears have an amazing ability to build fat reserves, Regehr said, and the Chukchi’s abundant seal population apparently allows bears to compensate for the loss of hunting time. The difference with the southern Beaufort was obvious from an airplane, he said. “It’s visually striking to me, the difference, having worked in both places,” Regehr said. When ice melts, many Chukchi bears rest on Russia’s Wrangell Island, where they occasionally can find a whale or walrus carcass. The Chukchi population study used data collected by sampling about 60 polar bears between 2008 and 2016. Some

were fitted with GPS transmitters. The data was used in a model designed to estimate population size for highly mobile large carnivores. Blaine Griffen, an associate professor of biology at Brigham Young University, said the study was good news. “It’s nice to see that there’s at least one population that’s doing better than others,” he said. The difference may be geography, he said. The Chukchi Sea has a more extensive continental shelf area with primary productivity that enables the food chain to support seals. The research agrees with past studies that suggested Chukchi bears would do better than bears elsewhere, Griffen said.

What Others Say

Stan Lee, creator of worlds and the everyman superhero Comic book fans know writer and editor Stan Lee like baseball fans know slugger Babe Ruth. Both men were mythic. Their impacts and legacies are strong fuel for fan arguments. And both men changed the way the world looked at their professions. But Lee — who died Monday at age 95 — helped create an entire universe. Lee’s co-creations spawned what would become the Marvel Comics Universe — a fictional world where the superheroes not only had amazing powers but very human flaws. That characteristic alone turned the world of comics on its head. Until Lee came along, superheroes were more like Superman, who flew in to save the day and didn’t seem to have problems like actual people. But in 1962, Lee — then editor and head writer at Marvel Comics — saw the success of a new set of Marvel characters called the Fantastic Four, a team with super powers but ordinary faults such as jealousy and doubt. He then co-created Spider-Man, a teenage hero who wrestled not only with villains but also with typical teenage problems. “You ask the audience to suspend disbelief and accept that some idiot can climb on walls,” Lee said in a 1992 interview. “But once that’s accepted, you ask … would he still have to worry about dandruff. About acne, about getting girlfriends, about keeping a job?” Stan Lee led the revolution that made superheroes more human. And that helped the world of comics grow up. With the characters now more complex and realistic, and more relatable to readers, the audience grew older and larger, as it is today. The conflicts of these new heroes were no longer just with other people in wild costumes. Often, the good guys fought conflicts within themselves. A famous Marvel story arc in 1979 unflinchingly showed Iron Man’s struggle with alcoholism. Being spawned in the turbulent 1960s, Lee’s cocreations also confronted real-life social issues on its colorful comic pages. The X-Men’s creation, with the bigotry they endured in their storylines, was said to have been inspired by the civil rights movement. The characters almost immediately jumped off the pages of print and into animated cartoons — and then, after fits and starts, into television and film. When “Spider-Man” hit screens in 2002, that truly unleashed Marvel on the big screen, and many other films followed. Today, by one estimate, Marvel movies have grossed more than $24 billion worldwide. Also, consider: Of the 10 current highest-grossing movies of all time, four of them are based on Marvel superheroes. Largely because of that, the heroes’ images and influence have crept into virtually every level of modern pop culture. They seem to be everywhere. And it all started with Stan Lee. That’s not his real name, you know. He was born Stanley Lieber, in New York City. He aspired to become a famous writer and author of the next “Great American Novel.” When he worked as an office boy for a comic-book publisher, others noticed his knack for writing and editing, and he began scripting stories. But he was embarrassed to use his real name with his comic-book work because he still held higher literary aspirations. So, like a hero adopting a secret identity, he became Stan Lee. And in a way, he became perhaps the mightiest comic-book hero of them all.

Polling Alaskans’ last-minute swings Pollsters don’t make predictions. We just show how things are at a given moment in time. It’s such a simple concept but one that is routinely misunderstood, mostly deliberately and for partisan purposes. Whether it’s to score political points, or get a few clicks on your blog, criticizing pollsters has become the new blood sport. OK, bring it on. But here’s a story to illustrate how challenged and baseless these attacks are. Back in 2002, I was lucky enough to work on Fran Ulmer’s campaign for governor. She had served as Alaska’s Lt. Governor for the previous eight years under Tony Knowles and was the Democrat in the governor’s race. She was up against U.S. Sen. Frank Murkowski, who had returned from D.C. to run as the Republican candidate. In late August, right after the primary election was complete and the contests were determined, our poll results showed Ulmer in a 3-point lead, 46-43. Ulmer’s positive negative rating was 63-27, Murkowski’s 56-36. My candidate was very well liked and respected. In early October, a month out of the November 5 election date, we did another survey that showed Ulmer with a four point lead, 47-43. I remember another Alaska pollster did a survey for KTUU at the exact same time and showed an essentially identical result, Ulmer in the lead by 3-4 points. As we went through October, the race tightened up. Ulmer’s positive rating was dragged back into the 50s, by mid-month the race was tied, and by the third week of October, Ulmer had fallen two points behind. In the final 10 days before the election, we started nightly tracking. On the Monday eight days out we were four points down, by Wednesday it was 7, and by the time the weekend arrived, it was 10. Murkowski won the following Tuesday by 15 points. Of course, nothing’s worse on a campaign than having cratering internal numbers like those taking the wind out of your sails. But our obligation was to put on happy faces and go out there and finish it up. If memory serves me, I don’t think there was even full disclosure with our client, such was the need to maintain morale and get to Tuesday. In the 16 since, if I had gotten a dollar for

I van M oore every time some armchair quarterback had criticized me for “getting Ulmer-Murkowski wrong,” for crying out loud, I’d have a very large wad of cash in my pocket right now. The fact was, my polling wasn’t wrong. It matched up with other poll results at critical points during the campaign, and then I watched it shift, gradually at first, but then suddenly and precipitously at the end, in front of my eyes, because Alaskans decided (to their cost as it turned out) that they were more comfortable with Frank. Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight.com claims that Alaska “is difficult to poll,” like he thinks we live in igloos or something and don’t have phones. The reality is, there’s nothing difficult to poll about Alaska itself; it’s Alaskans who are difficult to poll, because we change our minds. What I was coming to understand prior to that campaign in 2002, and have learned since, is that this movement is an Alaska Shift, a systematic surge in Republican vote that has happened countless times before. It happened the first year I worked in politics, in 1990, when John Devens had Don Young’s campaign on the ropes and convinced they were going to lose, but come election day Young pulled out a miraculous recovery to win by 4 points. It happened in 1994, when Tony Knowles managed to lose a double-digit lead in the final days of the campaign and only scrape home by 500 votes. More recently, it happened in 2008 and 2014 when Don Young was challenged by Ethan Berkowitz and Forrest Dunbar, both of whom led in polls but lost hard on election day, by 5 and 10 points respectively. And it has happened again this year, with Begich-Dunleavy and Galvin-Young. All the Democrats I’ve mentioned, perhaps none more so than Fran Ulmer, were likeable, accomplished and qualified candidates, and all of them made good initial impressions

Florida goes to hand recount in bitter US Senate race

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s acrimonious battle for the U.S. Senate is headed to a legally required hand recount after an initial review showed Gov. Scott and Sen. Bill Nelson separated — The Augusta Chronicle, Nov. 13 Rick by just a few thousand votes. But the highly watched contest between Republican Ron DeSantis and Democrat Andrew Gillum appears to be over, with a machine recount showing that DeSantis’ E-mail: advantage over Gillum was big enough to news@peninsulaclarion.com avoid a hand recount in that race.

in their races. But there’s a sizeable subset of the Alaska electorate who, while they’re predisposed to personally liking the Democrat in a race at least at first, get their amygdalas lit up when campaign messaging turns, as it inevitably does in Alaska, to fear-based, nonsense talk about the things Democrats will do if we’re stupid enough to elect them. Raise taxes, grow government, spend uncontrollably and steal your PFD being principal among them. At the same time this is going on, the pleasure centers of those same voter brains are rendered awash with serotonin with promises of the continuation of the free ride. That was the case with Murkowski in 2002, and this year’s promise of a bumper dividend is a repeat performance. The final poll I did in the governor’s race this year was done the penultimate weekend, about 10 days out of the election. It showed Begich and Dunleavy well matched and in a close race. That poll was perfectly representative of likely Alaska voters, by party affiliation, by age, by ethnicity and by geographical region. In the 10 days that followed, we saw the ritual demonization of the Democrats on the ballot reach a full crescendo, we saw Francis Dunleavy drop a chunk of his Alaska investment into the final week in support of his brother, we saw the oil industry spend untold millions promoting and getting out the “No on 1” vote and, like the cherry on top, we had Mike Dunleavy’s promise of a $6,700 payday and a restoration of the old PFD formula. Who wouldn’t expect the race to fundamentally shift after all that? Listen, is every poll that I do bang on target? Of course not. Like any survey measurement, we are approximating the characteristics of the population we’re studying, and it is by definition inexact. Have I had outlier polls before that I would take back if I could? Sure, every pollster has. But outliers are a different thing. They occur because of random variation, and don’t demonstrate the kind of systematic consistency I’ve described here. Don’t worry, be happy. No taxes. Free money. Alaskans simply like that message and instinctively respond to it with their votes. Over and over again. Ivan Moore an Alaska pollster and owner of Alaska Survey Research.

problems as one large Democratic stronghold in South Florida was unable to finish its machine recount by the Thursday deadline due to machines breaking down. A federal judge rejected a request to extend the recount deadline. “We gave a heroic effort,” said Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher. If the county had three or four more hours they would have made the deadline, she said. Meanwhile, election officials in another urban county in the Tampa Bay area decided against turning in the results of their machine recount, which came up with 846 fewer votes than originally counted. Counties were ordered this past weekend

to do a machine recount of three statewide races because the margins were so tight. The next stage is a manual review of ballots that were not counted by machines to see if there a way to figure out voter intent. The recount has triggered multiple lawsuits, many of them filed by Nelson and Democrats. The legal battle drew the ire of U.S. District Judge Mark Walker, who slammed the state Thursday for repeatedly failing to anticipate election problems. He also said the state law on recounts appears to violate the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that decided the presidency in 2000. “We have been the laughingstock of the world, election after election, and we chose not to fix this,” Walker said in court.

In answer to the question, ‘Who Cares?’ Definition of Loss is any major reduction in a person’s resources, whether personal, material, or symbolic, to which the person was emotionally attached. Types of loss include: death and dying; dissolution and divorce; loss of employment; life-threatening diseases and longterm disability; loss of possessions; homelessness; recurring and haunting memories; disenfranchisement and stigmatization; losses resulting from war and violence; and aging. There is one thing that definition cannot address and that is that loss is a part of life. In chapters 1 and 2 in the book of Job the title character, Job, lost his family and his wealth in a single day. Later he lost his health. There is loss and then there is LOSS, and none of it is easy to deal with.

V oices of F aith P astor A l W eeks Loss, grief, pain and goodbyes are all a part of life. In our culture there is little time for whiners, or weakness. We are taught a young age to suck it up and move on. We value strength, self-reliance and a strong will. But is this the biblical way of doing things? I would have to say no. God has created us in His image and as such He has given us a healthy way to express sadness. We see that in the life of Jesus in one of the shortest verses in the bible, “Jesus wept.” God wants us to

grieve. One of the things that I have come to realize is that everything that happens to us causes change. I once knew a woman who had lost a child three days after birth. I overheard one of the mourners say, “I just hope she can get past this quickly and get back to normal…” Hearing that caused my heart to hurt. The truth is that woman will never go back to being who she was before that loss, and she should not even try. Embracing the grief and allowing the loss to be real will change or destroy anyone going through it, but it will never allow us to go back to what we were before it happened. Recently, I said goodbye to my father. He passed peacefully in his sleep in the same room that my mother left this mortal coil from. He

could not have gone in a better place or in a better way. For me, I still find myself reaching for the phone to call him in moments of stress or if I need his advice. The last conversation I had with him two days before he left was about my wheeler and its engine. Part of me wishes I might have known that was the last time I would speak to him and I would have said more, or maybe less and just let him talk. Either way my life will never be the same. I know that God wants to walk with us through these moments of loss and grief. During our trials we often want the pain to go away, for Him to work a miracle, make everything right again. In reality, God is not in the miracle business (not to say He does not do miracles). Rather, He is

Hectic serenity of winter

I

t’s been a hectic winter for me so far, which is something for which I wasn’t prepared. In fact, I’m writing this column a full day later than it’s due. If you read this in Friday’s Peninsula Clarion, know that I’m typing this up at about 6 p.m. Thursday night. It still amazes me how fast words can travel, going from my computer to the printer to a reader’s mailbox within 12 hours. And it amazes how much I can procrastinate, even when I know all the work that goes into those 12 hours and that I’m holding it all up with this column. And instead of starting this column earlier, I went for a run. I thought it would clear my head — it didn’t — but it was another day that I could check off in November. At the beginning of this month, I told myself I would run at least a mile every day. A friend and I dubbed it “No Fun November,” but that’s a misnomer because it’s been pretty exciting. Today was a busy day, part of my busy winter so far, so I did the bare minimum — one mile. It was a quick one mile, though, boosting my confidence about how my speed has been progressing. I’m amazed at how fast words can travel, but still unamazed at how slowly I do. But during those eight or so minutes of me slipping and sliding along the icy roads of Seward, I saw a lot. People were stringing their Christmas lights, illuminating the streets. Others were walking their dogs, some meeting at restaurants or canoodling in cars. Sewardites are a wild bunch on a chilly Thursday night. I wish I could have explored more, but like I said, it’s been a hectic winter for me so far and I wanted to get back into the warmth to finish this column. Part of my hectic winter included a trip to Anchorage last week. Usually, I’d be a bit bummed to spend four hours in a car in one day but I had a pair of ice skates in my trunk and had heard some wonderful things about Potter Marsh. So, after my meeting in the ‘big city,’ a trip to get our skates sharpened and a stop at Target, my roommate and I drove out of town and took a left way sooner than we usually do. After pulling off the highway, we traded our shoes for our newly sharpened skates and hit the ice. Gliding around the ice led to some intriguing juxtapositions. Right off the highway, we found serenity and stillness. While we skated from marsh to marsh, a sudden open space would be stopped short by a collection of reeds shooting up from the ground. Our conversation and laughter faltered with the sound of cracking ice and stopped short when my friend fell through the ice. I stood in shock and silence, trying to See BLUE, page A7

Kenai, Homer hockey fall on 1st day Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Service and Wasilla hockey programs dropped the puck Thursday night with a pair of wins at the End of the Road Shootout at the Kevin Bell Ice Arena in Homer. Wasilla blanked Kenai Central 8-0, while Service took care of Homer 7-3 to cap the night. Kenai kept it close against Wasilla, trailing 1-0 after one period before allowing three

goals in the second period and four in the third. Kardinals head coach Jacob Newton said he thought his squad held up well against their former conference foes. “I don’t think the score really reflected how we played, especially in the first two periods,” Newton said. “We really showed up working hard, had a lot of successes, just not on the scoreboard. We didn’t have any major penalties, stayed out of box, so it was good. A think a lot of good

things came from the game.” Wasilla’s Garrison Holler had four points against Kenai, netting two goals with two assists. Homer rallied from a firstperiod 2-0 hole to score three goals in the second, cutting Service’s lead to 4-3 heading into the final period. Homer goalie Hunter Warren stood tall in net, warding off 26 of 27 shots in the second period, and finishing with 44 saves on 51 shots total. However, the Mariners

could not hold up in the final period as the Cougars scored four times to ice the victory. Fiona Hatton, Kazden Stineff and Ethan Pitzman each scored for Homer. Friday’s schedule starts with Wasilla and Service at 5 p.m., while Kenai and Homer face off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Wasilla and Homer clash at 12:30 p.m. in a rematch of last year’s North Star Conference semifinal game, and Kenai and Service meet at 10 a.m.

Seahawks get sorely needed win vs. Packers By TIM BOOTH AP Sports Writer

SEATTLE — After a shaky beginning, Russell Wilson got hot in the fourth quarter, Bobby Wagner and Seattle’s defense stymied Aaron Rodgers and the Seahawks stayed in the middle of the NFC playoff race. “We’ve been through so much throughout this season it was time to get over the hump,” Wagner said. “We’ve been down, we’ve been up, we’ve lost close games, we’ve won close games. It was time.”

Wilson threw for 225 yards and his 15-yard touchdown pass to Ed Dickson with 5:08 left was the difference in the Seahawks’ 27-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. In a key matchup in the battle for the two NFC wild-card spots, Seattle (5-5) snapped a two-game losing streak by overcoming an early 14-3 deficit. Wilson was inconsistent at times early, but was outstanding in the fourth quarter, capping the winning drive by recognizing a blitz and hitting Dickson quickly for his second

TD pass of the night. “I thought that whole drive was pretty exceptional. ... When it came down to it, third-down, you’ve got to win in the red-zone and we were pretty clutch in the red-zone there at the end of the game,” Wilson said. Seattle still has not lost three straight games since the middle of the 2011 season and the Seahawks finally closed out a one-score victory after consecutive close losses to the Chargers and Rams. Seattle was 1-8 in its previous nine games decided by one score.

Rodgers had a huge first half and threw for 332 yards, but the Packers (4-5-1) had just one scoring drive in the second half, helped by a 57-yard strike from Rodgers to Davante Adams. Rodgers threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half, but never got the ball back after Green Bay punted with 4:20 left. Seattle got first-down runs from Wilson and Mike Davis and finished the game kneeling three times. “It was definitely consideration, but with the one time out and the See NFL, page A8

Wildfire apprentice catches the fire bug

L

et’s go back to the beginning. On a day in late August 2016, I found myself on a steep slope in Lolo National Forest near Plains, Montana. I had a Stihl MS038 on my shoulder, and I was listening intently to my hand-held radio. About 500 feet below me on the opposite side of a logging road, a hotshot crew was conducting a burnout operation. Burnouts have many functions. In this case, it was a mitigation strategy — the burnout created a piece of “solid black” — allowing the main fire to work its way steadily downhill without putting containment lines at risk. Or, at least, that was the Allie Cunningham above a burnout operation on the Copper King Fire in Montana. (Photo by plan. I was tasked with “spinParker Anders)

During critical operations, such as firing, fire personnel take weather observations at least every hour, including relative humidity measurements with a sling psychrometer. Burning conditions transitioned from favorable to a little too favorable in just a few hours. As a “holding” resource, we were standing in unburned vegetation across the road from the burnout operation,

extinguishing any embers that crossed into the “green.” This is a vulnerable position, as any fire that crossed the road could jeopardize our safety. It was 1500, the middle of the critical burn period when fires spread most rapidly. Over the radio came a warning to all fire personnel — a thunder cell had formed over Plains and was expected to impact the fire area within thirty minutes. Wind gusts could reach 45 mph. The relative humidity values would plummet ahead of the cold front. We heard this. We kept watch — as did the Bitterroot Hotshots below us on the hill.

Carstens will look to build on a program that went 1-29 overall last year, but Carstens said she chose Chicago State due to the program’s commitment to her, which includes a full-ride scholarship. “It feels like a relief,” she said. “I don’t have to worry about that anymore, I know where I’m going. It just feels like the next step.” Carstens said she chose the Cougars basketball program over other of-

Rooney honored; England tops US LONDON (AP) — Wayne Rooney’s record-breaking England career ended with a first: relief not to score.

fers from Division III and NAIA programs, as well as both the University of Alaska Anchorage and Fairbanks programs, because of how committed Chicago State was to her. “I feel like if I went there, I could be the best basketball player I could be,” she said. “It’s a DI program, I have a full ride so I don’t have to worry about money issues. Everything’s perfect.” Carstens said she developed a love for basketball as a first-grader, then became serious about it in middle school, where she played at the club level with peninsula friends and teammates Kelsey Clark and Emma Wik of Nikiski, Jaycie Calvert of Kenai and Brittani Blossom, Aliann Schmidt and Danica Schmidt of Soldotna. Bethany’s father, Nikiski High principal Dan Carstens, said the commitment that the school gave his daughter was exceptional, explaining that the current Chicago State recruiting coordinator watched Carstens compete last summer in a camp. The recruiter at the time worked at Central Methodist

University in Missouri and liked what he saw in Carstens’ game. After making the move to Chicago State, the recruiter pushed to have Carstens on the team, but had to convince head coach Misty Opat. “He started talking to the head coach and said, ‘Hey I’ve got video of this twoguard that you’ve got to see,’” Dan said. “And the head coach said, ‘Naw, I’m not interested in a two-guard, we’re not looking for that right now,’ and he told her to just watch the video. “She watched the video, came back the next day and said, ‘I’m looking for a two-guard now.’ Totally changed her mind.” With a desire to have the 2018 Class 3A Alaska Player of the Year on their team, Dan said it was the right fit for Bethany. “To feel wanted like that, that’s what I want for my daughter,” he said. “To be wanted in a program, not as an afterthought. She is one of their top choices.” Carstens added that his daughter’s

signing represents the kind of quality student-athletes Alaska is producing that often may go unnoticed. “It means the programs we have here, if you’re willing to put in the extra time, they’re quality programs,” he said. “The high school coaches here were encouraging and recognized what she had.” The signing also signals the pinnacle of a remarkable comeback after Carstens suffered two anterior cruciate tears — one in each knee. The first happened before her freshman year, and the second at the end of her sophomore season, when Nikiski was competing in the region tournament. Carstens’ first ACL tear caused her to miss the entire 2015-16 campaign, while the second one forced her out of the 2017 state tournament, where the Bulldogs finished fifth. “How many kids would want to come back and still put in the time and effort?” Dan asked. “It’s a testament to that kid and the work ethic, determination and love of the sport.”

Lightning score fast, top Penguins By The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Brayden Point scored three straight power-play goals in 1:31 — the sixth-fastest three goals in NHL history — and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on Thursday night. Bill Mosienko holds the record, scoring three times in 21 seconds for Chicago against New York in 1952. Point’s 91-second burst was the second-fastest three goals since 1967-68. Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby sat out after sustaining an upper-body injury Tuesday night at New Jersey. Coach Mike Sullivan confirmed the injury is not a concussion. Yanni Gourde also had a power-play goal, Nikita Kucherov added three assists, and backup goalie Louis Domingue made 28 saves to help the Lightning win for the fifth time in seven games. Starting goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is out indefinitely. Patric Hornqvist scored twice for Pittsburgh, Phil Kessel also connected, Evgeni Malkin had two assists and Matt Murray stopped 22 shots. The Penguins have lost seven of eight following a four-game winning streak.

Cody Ceci also scored for the Senators. Detroit had a chance to tie it midway through the third when Andreas Athanasiou was awarded a penalty shot after Ceci held him on a breakaway. Anderson read the play well and made a pad save. Seven minutes later, Anderson came up big on another penalty shot after Rasmussen was pulled down by Chris Wideman. Anderson denied Rasmussen’s attempt to go through the leg pads.

Boston’s Betts, Brewers’ Yelich nab MVP awards By RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK — Mookie Betts is ready to become an ambassador for baseball, now that he’s won a batting title, World Series and Most Valuable Player award with Boston. “I enjoy being kind of a face around the game. I’ve kind of used this pedestal or whatever you want to say to spread knowledge that the game is fun,” he said Thursday after his runaway victory for the AL MVP award. Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich was close to a unanimous pick for the NL honor. A 26-year-old outfielder just like Betts, Yelich also won a batting championship and led his team to a division title. But while Betts has been with the Red Sox since he signed after the 2011 amateur draft, Yelich didn’t join the

Brewers until he was dealt to Milwaukee last January by the payroll-paring Miami Marlins. “I’m thankful it all worked out because being traded, you never know how it’s going to be,” Yelich said. “Luckily for myself, it all went amazing.” Yelich is signed through 2021 and his deal includes a team option for the following season. Betts didn’t want to speculate whether he would be a Red Sox lifer, like former Boston MVPs Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice. Betts can become a free agent after the 2020 season. “Right now I’m just focusing on the 2019 season coming up,” he said. Betts received 28 first-place votes and 410 points from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout, a two-time MVP, followed with

one first-place vote and 265 points. Trout tied the record of four secondplace finishes shared by Stan Musial, Williams and Albert Pujols. Trout won in 2014 and 2016, finished second in ‘12, ‘13 and ‘15, and was fourth in 2017. Cleveland third baseman Jose Ramirez was third with 208 points, and Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez was next with one first and 198 points. Betts hit a major league-leading .346 with 32 homers, 80 RBIs, 42 doubles and 30 stolen bases as the leadoff hitter for the Red Sox, who won a team-record 108 games and their fourth World Series title in 15 seasons. Votes were submitted before the postseason. Betts, second to Trout in the 2016 vote, raised his profile when he fed homeless people on the steps of Boston’s Public Library after the second game of the World Series. Unlike some

Rockets blow past Warriors By The Associated Press

HOUSTON — James Harden scored 27 points and the Houston Rockets routed the Golden State Warriors 107-86 on Thursday night in a rematch of last season’s Western Conference finals. The Rockets (7-7), who announced before the game that they were “parting ways” with 10-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony, have won three straight and six of their last eight games after starting 1-5 to reach .500 for the first time since they were 1-1. The Warriors, who were without Stephen Curry for the fourth straight game, have lost two of their last three. Curry has already been ruled out for Golden State’s next two games because of a groin injury. Kevin Durant had 20 points for the Warriors on a night they were just 4 of 18 on 3-pointers. Draymond Green had five rebounds and five assists in his return after serving a one-game team-imposed suspension for

Paul Millsap and Gary Harris added 18 points apiece for the Nuggets, who unleashed a torrid offensive display to snap their season-high, four-game losing streak. Jamal Murray, who came off the bench rather than start, had 14 points, as did Trey Lyles. Denver outshot Atlanta 56.4 percent to 34.8 percent from the field and pushed the pace throughout, getting up and down the floor and wearing down the Hawks, who like to run themselves but were also playing at altitude and in the midst of a four-game road trip.

Angeles Clippers beat the San Antonio Spurs 116-111 on Thursday night for their first three-game winning streak of the season. The Clippers improved to 7-1 at home after blowing leads of 14 points in the second quarter and 10 in the fourth. The Spurs were the third highpowered team in a row beaten by the Clippers, who edged Milwaukee and defending NBA champion Golden State in a pair of overtime wins. Williams led Los Angeles with 23 points off the bench. Danilo Gallinari added 19 points and Tobias Harris 18. Montrezl Harrell stole the ball from DeMar DeRozan in the corner and Gallinari got fouled at the other end. He made four straight free throws and Williams hit two to seal the win.

baseball players, he doesn’t eschew offthe-field limelight. Commissioner Rob Manfred criticized Trout during the AllStar Game for not making enough of a marketing effort. “I definitely think it’s pretty cool in some settings,” he said, “and in some setting settings I just kind of want to be with my family.” Both batting champions won MVP awards for the first time since San Francisco’s Buster Posey and Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera in 2012. Yelich got 29 first-place votes and 415 points, and the other first-place vote went to New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom, the NL Cy Young Award winner, who finished fifth. Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez was second with 250 points, followed by Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado with 203.

Nashville. Kuemper, starting in place of injured Antti Raanta, kept a shutout going until Nick Bonino scored with 7:51 to play. Michael Grabner and Jason Demers scored to help Arizona improve to 9-8-1.

DEVILS 3, FLYERS 0 PHILADELPHIA — Keith Kinkaid made 29 saves for his third shutout of the season and seventh of his career, leading New Jersey past Philadelphia. Kyle Palmieri, Joey Anderson and Blake Coleman scored. The Devils have won consecutive games for the first time since opening the season with four straight victories.

MAPLE LEAFS 5, SHARKS 3 SAN JOSE, Calif. — Kasperi Kapanen scored his second goal of the game with Toronto short-handed and the Maple Leafs won for the fifth time in six games, beating San Jose. John Tavares had a goal to extend his scoring streak to seven games, and Josh Leivo and Mitch Marner also had goals to give Toronto its eighth win in nine road games this season. Frederik Andersen made 42 saves and assisted on Marner’s insurance goal with a pass to the opposite blue line late in the third period to seal the victory. Joe Pavelski scored his fourth goal in the past three games, and Kevin Labanc and Marc-EdouardVlasic also scored for the Sharks, who had their four-game home winning streak snapped. Martin Jones made 29 saves.

passed over. Trees began torching in groups and embers were blown far across the logging road below. Someone on the road found a spot fire ahead of us, in the green. Bitterroot moved to the road and we followed. Our crew boss counted personnel as we lined out, giving instructions to hike up the road to a safety zone identified earlier in the day. My squad boss led the crew. In that moment, my chain saw seemed to weigh only 10 pounds instead of its usual thirty. We reached the safety zone in minutes and circled up to take our collective breath. This was the moment that I caught “the fire bug.” There have been many others since then, with varying levels

of intensity. Needing to escape to a safety zone is not commonplace. This one sticks in my memory as the first of many times that we leaned upon a network of trust and communication. Our foundation was tested … and it held. I fought fire as a member of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge trail crew for two seasons before the opportunity arose to turn collateral work into primary duty. The Wildland Firefighter Apprenticeship Program was started in 1989 with staff from the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Although the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also partnered in 1997, I am the first wildland firefighter apprentice for the Fish and Wildlife Service!

Ostrander earns West Region honor By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Boise State redshirt junior Allie Ostrander was named the West Region Women’s Athlete of the Year this week in a press release by the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Ostrander of Kenai Central High fame received the award for the second time in her illustrious collegiate career, and earned the 2018 honor after going undefeated against West Region opponents this year, including a dominant victory last Friday at the West Region Championship meet in Sacra-

mento, California. Ostrander won the women’s 6-kilometer race in 19 minutes, 9 seconds, more than 13 seconds ahead of second place. The win was the seventh of her college career at Boise State, tying her with Broncos alum Emma Bates for most women’s win in school history. This weekend, Ostrander is gunning for her first national title in cross-country at the NCAA Division I Championships in Madison, Wisconsin. Ostrander has finishes of second and fourth in two previous tries at the national meet, and begins her assault on the title Saturday at 7:45 a.m. AST.

Federer gains semis LONDON (AP) — Roger Federer is peaking at the right time — again. The six-time champion advanced to the last four of the ATP Finals for a record-extending 15th time with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Kevin Anderson on Thursday. Federer, chasing the 100th title of his career, needed only a set to advance and produced his best performance at the seasonending tournament to end the round-robin stages with a 2-1 win-loss record. Dominic Thiem’s 6-1, 6-4

victory over Kei Nishikori earlier had left Federer with a modest task and ensured that Anderson became the first South African ever to reach the semifinals. Federer looked as if he was about to give up a break advantage for the second time in as many service games when he dropped to 0-40 attempting to close out the opening set at 5-4, but the 20-time Grand Slam champion found his first serve when it mattered most to hold. Anderson hadn’t faced a break point in winning his first two matches.

Today in History Today is Friday, Nov. 16, the 320th day of 2018. There are 45 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 16, 1933, the United States and the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations. On this date: In 1776, British troops captured Fort Washington in New York during the American Revolution. In 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th state of the union. In 1914, the newly created Federal Reserve Banks opened in 12 cities. In 1939, mob boss Al Capone, ill with syphilis, was released from prison after serving 7 1/2 years for tax evasion and failure to file tax returns. In 1959, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The Sound of Music” opened on Broadway. In 1961, House Speaker Samuel T. Rayburn died in Bonham, Texas, having served as speaker since 1940 except for two terms. In 1966, Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard was acquitted in Cleveland at his second trial of murdering his pregnant wife, Marilyn, in 1954. In 1973, Skylab 4, carrying a crew of three astronauts, was launched from Cape Canaveral on an 84-day mission. In 1981, actor William Holden was found dead in his apartment in Santa Monica, California; he was 63. In 1982, an agreement was announced in the 57th day of a strike by National Football League players. In 1997, China’s most prominent pro-democracy campaigner, Wei Jingsheng (way jeeng-shuhng), arrived in the United States after being released following nearly 18 years of imprisonment in his country. In 2006, Democrats embraced Nancy Pelosi as the first woman House speaker in history, but then selected Steny Hoyer as majority leader against her wishes. Ten years ago: Iraq’s Cabinet overwhelmingly approved a security pact with the United States calling for American forces to remain in the country until 2012. Space shuttle Endeavour linked up with the international space station. The Pittsburgh Steelers rallied to beat the San Diego Chargers 11-10, the first such final score in NFL history. Five years ago: In his weekly Saturday radio and Internet address, President Barack Obama said improved energy efficiency and higher energy production in the United States were yielding environmental and economic benefits that were helping ensure cleaner air and a more competitive business landscape. One year ago: Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken became the first member of Congress to be caught up in a wave of allegations of sexual abuse and inappropriate behavior, after a Los Angeles radio anchor accused him of forcibly kissing her and groping her during a 2006 USO tour. The federal bribery trial of Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey ended with the jury hopelessly deadlocked on all charges. (Federal prosecutors decided in January not to retry him.) Jose Altuve of the World Champion Houston Astros won the American League Most Valuable Player award; Giancarlo Stanton of the Marlins was the winner in the National League. At the Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, several artists dedicated their performances and awards to Puerto Rico as the island struggled to recover from Hurricane Maria.

agers. The program accomplishes this task by utilizing training, education and paid work experience to take an entry-level wildland firefighter to the “journey-level,” orcertified Firefighter Type 1. The training and education include up to two academies hosted each spring and fall, as well as on-the-job training through six required experience categories. These categories span fireline suppression duties (engines, dozers, handcrews, aviation) to time in dispatch, wildland fire prevention/ education, local unit planning and preparedness, fuels management, fire business practices and wildland fire safety. The academies consist of classes that support progression in fire management through both fireline (field) duty qualifications and leadership skills. Apprentices are also held to a

national fitness standard, expected to meet the minimum of 25 pushups, 45 situps, two to seven pullups, and a 1.5mile run in 10.5 minutes. Each calisthenic must be completed within three minutes. The Work Capacity Test (aka pack test) is also required at “arduous” level: Three miles in 45 minutes with a 45-pound weight vest. In a nutshell, the Wildland Firefighter Apprenticeship Program is like going to college for a degree in wildland fire but being paid to do so. At the Kenai refuge, this is a term position, which means I work year-round for up to four years while I progress through the program. When I’m not fighting fire, I work at refuge headquarters maintaining our fire caches and chain saws, assisting with fuels work, collecting vegetation data from the Sterling fuel break, helping other refuge programs

like trails and cabins, and a myriad of other things. We have a unique situation at the Kenai refuge, as most of our fuels work is completed in the winter rather than summer. We typically burn piles of slash derived from other thinning projects accomplished by hand or machine. It will be an adjustment for this lifelong seasonal worker to relinquish some of my former adventure time to working time, but it is part of the path and I will do my best to accept the change gracefully. I have the fire bug, after all. Alexandra “Allie” Cunningham is a Wildland Firefighter Apprentice at Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

clock stopped at two minutes, we played the numbers,” Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. Chris Carson rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown, overcoming the mistake of fumbling on the first play of the game and setting up Green Bay’s opening score. Tyler Lockett had two key receptions late in the fourth quarter and Doug Baldwin had his first TD catch of the season for Seattle. Rodgers was 21-of-30 passing with 10 of those going to Adams for 166 yards receiving. Backup tight end Robert Tonyan had the first catch of his career go for a 54-yard touchdown to give Green Bay an early 14-3 lead. The Packers led 21-17 at halftime after Aaron Jones caught a 24-yard TD pass from Rodgers in the final minute of the half, but Green Bay’s offense was stymied in the second half. “Of course there’s hope. Of course we believe in each other,” Rodgers said. “It’s just going to take one galvanizing moment, whether that’s a speech

or a practice or something happens in the game, something’s got to get this thing going.” Jones finished with 40 yards rushing after going for a careerhigh 145 a week ago. Rodgers was sacked five times, four of those in the second half. The Packers gained just 114 yards in the second half, half coming on the one throw from Rodgers to Adams. That pass set up Mason Crosby’s 36-yard field goal with 8:23 left to give Green Bay a 24-20 lead. Wilson had one more answer. Wilson hit Lockett on consecutive plays for 18 yards — to convert a third-down — and 34 yards to the Green Bay 16. Two plays later, facing another third-and-long, Wilson recognized the blitz and hit Dickson quickly over the middle to put Seattle in front. That proved to be enough. On Green Bay’s next drive, Rodgers short-hopped a pass on third-and-2. “The ball just stuck to my hand and went in the dirt,” Rodgers said. “Frustrating obviously, I can do that a hundred times and probably not do that again. Rather than going for it on fourth-down, Green Bay punted and never got the ball back.

Men’s group chat draws fire for sharing explicit photos that for men to bond and feel like “real men,” they need to advertise to each other their sexual interest in women other than their spouses, and women need to tolerate it. The practice is hurtful and disrespectful. How can a woman feel like her fiance’s friends care about her welfare if they’re sending naked photos of other women to him? It seems women’s feelings don’t Abigail Van Buren matter at all in this bonding ritual. Furthermore, the men don’t have to touch these other women to have a “sexual experience” with them. -- TIRED OF “BOYS” IN TUCSON DEAR ABBY: I do not agree with you that what these men are doing is the equivalent of “old-time barbershop talk.” What’s being shared digitally today isn’t at all like the magazines and chat from even 20 years ago. It’s far more graphic and less woman-friendly. You are right that “Tired” will not change her fiance. That’s why she should leave now and avoid the future heartbreak that could be waiting. There’s always a victim when it comes to porn. Just because the shar-

ing is within a closed group doesn’t mean some women weren’t victimized. Or that some men won’t become addicted. -- SAD ABOUT THIS IN THE WEST DEAR ABBY: Speaking as a man who has been part of multiple “men’s groups,” as well as happily married for many years, I find “Tired’s” fiance’s chat group to be inappropriate, just as she does -- particularly the group icon picture. I respect women as people, not physical/sexual objects. He should speak up out of respect for women. Doing so could influence one or more of his friends to rethink their position. -- WILLIAM IN OREGON DEAR ABBY: These are private conversations between adult men. Sexuality makes the world go ‘round. Yes, women deserve respect and not to be sexually harassed. But we shouldn’t have to totally remove sexuality from the equation. Women chat about men and look at images just like we do. It’s just less talked about. -- MR. B. IN HOUSTON DEAR ABBY: If these are solicited photos, as the writer suggests, privately sent and then shared in a group, it is illegal in most states. You cannot share nude photos of someone without her/his expressed consent. Perhaps “Tired” should inform her fiance of that! -- EMILY IN MICHIGAN

Here are some things to consider: * First, please consult the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s website (www.aphis. usda.gov/aphis/pet-travel) for advice. * All vaccinations must be up to date and administered in advance of the trip. Airlines and foreign countries will require proof. * The European Union has an “EU pet passport” system that makes traveling with your pet through the EU easier. * DO NOT give your pet anti-nausea or anti-anxiety medication unless your vet recommends it. * Your pet will need a reservation, so make sure you discuss this with the airline before traveling. -- Heloise SILVERWARE THAT SHINES Dear Heloise: Is there a simple way to shine silverware? -- Kat M., Stafford, Okla. A good tarnish-removing formula is to place a clean sheet of tinfoil in your sink or a bowl. Make a mound of salt in your hand and pour it in the bowl. Then do the same with a mound of baking soda. Pour in just enough hot water to cover the objects, and wait for a few minutes. You’ll see it change before your eyes. -- Heloise PIANO KEYS Dear Heloise: How do I get dirt and gunk off my piano keys? -- Zoe J., Appleton, Wis.

DEAR ABBY: I must take issue with your response to “Tired of Behinds” (Sept. 5), who was upset that her fiance is part of a men’s group chat that includes the sending and receiving of pornographic female images. While “boys will be boys” has been the reigning excuse for male misbehavior for years -- nay, centuries! -times are changing. “Tired” has every right to demand that her fiance behave respectfully toward women, both publicly and in private. He may not be able to change his friends’ behavior, but he has control over his own and could demonstrate that he’s not a boy, but a man who respects women for who they are, not their looks or perceived sexual value. Would he want others to look at his sister, his mother, his daughter or her that way? I doubt it. Excusing “boys” for their misogyny only perpetuates our sexual assault culture. “Tired” should take a long look at her fiance’s behavior and decide whether or not he is the kind of man she wants to share her life with. -- WANTS A BETTER WORLD FOR MY DAUGHTER DEAR WANTS: Most, but not all, of the many women -- and men -- who commented on that letter agree with you.

Dunleavy taps Feige to head Natural Resources By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU (AP) — Gov.elect Mike Dunleavy on Wednesday named a former director of Alaska’s Division of Oil and Gas to be his Natural Resources commissioner. Dunleavy announced his selection of Corri Feige during a Resource Development Council conference in Anchorage in which he repeated that Alaska would be “open for business” under his administration. Dunleavy said he would ask Gov. Bill Walker’s administration to halt the creation of any new regulations until the new administration is in place. He said Walker indicated he was willing to work with

owner,” Cunningham said. “One of the things the city can do is get those lands working, whether they are through leases or ownership by businesses.” The city is considering creating a brochure featuring the compiled data to allow residents to easily see where they could develop a business on city-owned land. Cunningham said the city created a temporary position that will help the city in identifying and researching the best uses of city-owned land, which consists of more than 300 parcels. “When people come with ideas, we can say here’s what we have in terms of land and in terms of programs,” Cunningham said.

his fellow groomers spent over three hours per day, on average, producing last winter. Holt never liked seeing people out for a nice, healthy walk in the winter and having to tell them to get off the trails. “You get tired of telling people they can’t walk their dog,” he said. “But they can’t have their dog out there. Those are high-end ski trails.” Enter the land across from the landfill, which for the time being is called the Slikok Trails. Holt credited Marcus Mueller, land management officer at the borough, with being instrumental in getting a trail management permit for the land in the spring of 2017. In June 2017,

Dunleavy on the transition and was hopeful about Walker’s response. Dunleavy takes office Dec. 3. Walker spokesman Austin Baird said late Wednesday afternoon that the administration had not yet received any direct request from Dunleavy or his team. But he said Walker has no plans to implement new regulations that would restrict resource development. Through the remainder of his term, Walker “will continue to champion responsible resource development of Alaska’s vast natural resources, from oil and gas to minerals to timber,” Baird wrote in an email. “Because there was never any plan to implement new regulations restricting resource

development, the Governorelect is effectively asking the Walker Administration to continue the work we’ve been doing for the past four years,” Baird wrote. At the conference, Dunleavy reiterated his desire to further develop the state’s natural resources as a way to create jobs and boost the economy. He said a focus will be to “reform regulations” in a way to help boost the economy. But he wasn’t more specific. Speaking to reporters, Feige mentioned looking at regulations and existing programs as the administration seeks to maximize resource development. Feige has spent her career working in the energy sector,

including as a geophysicist and consultant and in management-level positions. Feige worked as director of the Division of Oil and Gas from April 2015 to October 2016. The division falls under the Department of Natural Resources. During her tenure, the state maintained its push for more information from top North Slope companies on plans to support a future potential major gas sale. Walker has been pursuing a liquefied natural gas project, and state-sanctioned Alaska Gasline Development Corp. has been courting Chinese partners as part of that effort. Dunleavy will have to decide whether to stay the course.

tail and industrial space exists outside of the city domain as well. Kenai City Manager Paul Ostrander said there is also a significant number of privately owned parcels. “There’s a lot of vacant land in the city that I see as an opportunity for businesses to come here,” Ostrander said. Cunningham said Kenai is unique in the sheer amount of land they own. In 1963, the Federal Aviation Administration deeded the city of Kenai ownership of land surrounding the Kenai Municipal Airport. Some airport land cannot be purchased, but it can be leased. Cunningham said the city recently implemented some code changes that give credits to businesses who develop airport land. Now, the city administration is now looking at its land policies beyond the airport. City Planner Elizabeth Ap-

pleby said the administration is also working towards updating city sign and land codes to work better for businesses. The bluff stabilization project is another important factor the city must take into account when attempting to attract new businesses. Appleby said the bluff project will secure a stable environment for someone to invest in. “We have this amazing view, and if we can confirm that the land isn’t going to be eroding away, we can sell that land,” Appleby said. “In addition to just being able to sell land there, confirming it can’t erode could also spur reinvestment and economic development, even trails planning in the area.” .In Old Town Kenai, the amount of capital investment over the last 30 years has been minimal, Ostrander said. “The biggest driver there is

the uncertainty of that erosion,” Ostrander said. “Resolving that has been the number one priority, as far as capital projects go, for at least 30 years and we’re really close now to making that a reality. That will spur development in an area that arguably is the most dramatic and valuable part of the city, as far as land goes.” Cunningham and Appleby said they are also working to promote what’s attractive about Kenai, including beaches, Old Town Kenai, a balance of local businesses and national chains, easy access to the outdoors while still having access to a highway system and reliable air travel. “I think there are things here that other places don’t have and we should embrace that more fully and communicate that to people,” Appleby said. Besides policies and projects, Ostrander said the city is chang-

ing their attitude in an effort to be friendlier to business developers. “What we’re trying to accomplish when new businesses come to town, is that we’re really helping them through the process — rather than the attitude that’s, you know, ‘Here’s a packet, with information. Fill it out and come back,’” Ostrander said. “We help them through the process. If they run into hurdles, we help them get over them. It sounds a little corny, but we’re trying to partner with these businesses to make sure they are successful if they want to come to the city.” Tuesday night, the city hosted a Policy with a Pint event for the public to gather and discuss ways of improving the city. Appleby and Cunningham helped facilitate the discussion. “The Policy with a Pint event was an informal way to engage with citizens and promote the sharing of creative

ideas for the city during Startup Week,” Appleby said. “I have observed events similar to Policy with a Pint in other communities where various policy alternatives were discussed or presented, and I wanted to try this in Kenai to see what sort of feedback we could generate. Appleby said the city came away with 26 ideas and suggestions for the city of Kenai to consider, including citysponsored events, partnering with developers, creating rentto-own opportunities, creating incentives for restoring abandoned or distressed buildings, creating a walkable downtown space, improving public transportation between Kenai and Soldotna and others ideas. “In Kenai, we’ve long said that we are open for business, but now we can say we are ready for business,” Cunningham said.

Holt put in a one-mile loop that would serve as a multiuse trail for the winter of 2017-18. It was a great success, drawing bikers, walkers with dogs and snowshoers. “Now, when I saw somebody walking the ski trails, I could tell them to come up here,” Holt said. Then things got a little crazy. Holt figured trails would gradually fill the Slikok land over the course of many years, but in June he was able to bring the mulituse trail to a total of just over three miles and five loops. That included connecting the Slikok system up with Tsalteshi at Isaak Road. Holt and the Tsalteshi Trails Association then landed a Recreational Trails Program grant, which is federal money administered by the state, that is enough for about 3.6 miles of

Slikok singletrack trail. Holt said the borough’s willingness to make the trail management permit for 20 years made landing such a generous grant possible. By Oct. 15, Jon Underwood of Happy Trails, Inc. was starting on a little less than a month of trail-building that would put about two miles of singletrack on the property. Three loops and an additional trail have been completed. One loop is an easy trail, while the other two loops and the trail are in a style Happy Trails calls dirt roller coaster. Construction will resume in May 2019, weather permitting. In addition to providing finishing touches to this fall’s work, the site will get two more trails and two more loops, including a downhill trail and some “oldschool” trails featuring roots

and unbanked corners. Holt said it was neat to watch the school district, borough and Tsalteshi Trails Association move so quickly on the project. “I’ve always been one to want to grow slowly,” Holt said. “But there was a lot of opportunity all at once. Everything came together.” Holt gave a tour of the singletrack trails early this week. They are not super technical, but the various mounds, banked turns and gradual rises and falls come one after another with little break and scream fun. All is tucked into various pockets of land, allowing riders to feel more alone than they probably are. There even will be a few massive rock jumps for the truly daring, though both still need a little finishing work. “I think they’re pretty phe-

nomenal,” Holt said of Underwood’s work. “He did some trails for us the year before and did a good job then. But I think he’s learned some cool tricks since then and found out a way to make them more swoopy. “The terrain was key. It’s just really good.” While beaming about the Slikok project, Holt said it was even cooler to take a step back and look at all the quality outdoor, human-powered recreation the area south of Soldotna now offers. Skiers have high-quality trails at Tsalteshi or the more primitive offerings at the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Bikers, no matter the time of year, can now leave Soldotna and get all the way to Slikok Creek with only a few road crossings. Skaters have ARC Lake and the refuge’s Headquarters Lake.

Snowshoers have opportunity at Tsalteshi and Slikok and nearly endless opportunity at the refuge. Winter dog walkers now have the Slikok system, and runners also have options galore no matter the season. “I think this really pulls the community together,” Holt said, giving special credit to the youth ski and mountain-bike programs at Tsalteshi for pulling in kids and hooking some parents, as well. “Not everybody is a trails person, but this gives a lot of people more opportunity to do physical exercise.” Coming from Soldotna, the Slikok Trails can be accessed directly a few hundred feet after the dump on right side of the highway. An area with a series of trailers that was a firefighters’ camp serves as parking for the trail head.
