In the news Pence makes brief stop in Anchorage ANCHORAGE — Vice President Mike Pence paid a Veterans Day visit to service members in Alaska’s largest city during a refueling stop en route to an Asia trip.

Anchorage television station KTVA reports Pence arrived at Joint Base ElmendorfRichardson Sunday afternoon after his plane was delayed by weather.

At the Anchorage base, Pence gave a brief speech before service members. He acknowledged the importance of Veterans Day and said President Trump “is the best friend veterans ever had.”

Pence touched down in Tokyo on Monday to discuss North Korea and other issues with Japanese officials before heading to two regional summits.

On Tuesday, Pence will attend a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Singapore and an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Papua New Guinea on behalf of Trump.

Anchorage police arrest suspect in fatal hit-and-run crash ANCHORAGE — A 71-year-old man has been arrested in the fatal hit-and-run of a female pedestrian in east Anchorage.

Ruti Malietufa was held Sunday on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident with failure to render aid, a felony, Anchorage police announced.

He remained jailed Monday at Anchorage Correctional Center. Online court records did not list charging documents or his attorney.

Police on Saturday evening took a call involving a woman dead just east of the Anchorage jail. Her name has not been released.

Investigators determined the vehicle involved was a yellow SUV with a business logo on the front door, a black roof rack and an inoperative right headlight. They also had a partial license plate description.

The Anchorage Daily News reported it was the latest in a handful of similar incidents in recent months.

Erin Bailey, 24, was run over by a driver who police said left the scene last month in east Anchorage. His roommate is charged in the case.

Cassandra Tinker, 23, died in June after she was struck while crossing a street in midtown Anchorage. No arrests have been made.

Thousands more ballots to be counted

By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

The Alaska Division of Elections will count thousands of absentee and question ballots Tuesday, possibly deciding the outcome of two Fairbanks legislative races that may determine the balance of power in the Alaska Legislature.

In House District 1, which covers downtown Fairbanks, Republican Bart LeBon leads Democrat Kathryn Dodge by 67 votes. In Senate District A, which covers House districts 1 and 2, Republican Senate President Pete Kelly leads challenger Scott Kawasaki by 11 votes.

Those figures are as of Monday morning. Under the state’s normal ballot-counting

Questions loom over which governor will appoint judicial nominees

By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

The Alaska Judicial Council has picked a list of finalists for judgeships across the state, and now it’s time for the governor to have his say.

But it remains uncertain whether Gov. Bill Walker or governor-elect Mike Dunleavy will make the final pick for a vacant seat on Alaska’s Court of

Appeals and for Superior Court seats in Bethel, Kenai and Juneau.

The Alaska Constitution requires the governor to pick a judge from a list of at least two finalists approved by the Judicial Council, a nonpartisan body of legal experts. State law requires “the governor” to make a pick within 45 days. It doesn’t specify which governor.

“Technically, I guess, it could

be either,” said Susanne DiPietro, executive director of the Alaska Judicial Council.

Spokespeople for Walker did not return emails and calls seeking comment Friday or Monday (a federal holiday), and a spokeswoman for the Dunleavy transition team was unable to provide an answer by press deadline.

The issue is a result of the judicial council’s scheduling pro-

cess, which is “agnostic” with regard to elections, DiPietro said. The week of Election Day just happened to be a time when all seven members of the council were available to meet.

As a result of that calendar, the deadline for picking the final judge on the list is Christmas Eve. Dunleavy’s term doesn’t begin until Dec. 3, allowing Walker weeks to interview the See GOV, page A3

Magical Gardens talks CBD business

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Deniece and Ron Isaacs opened their specialty hemp and CBD, or cannabidiol, shop, Magical Gardens, earlier this year in Kenai off the Kenai Spur Highway.

Deniece Isaacs said business has been going well since they opened. The two carry products specializing in hemp and CBD, including beauty products, food supplements, oils, lotions, salves, honey, edibles, dog treats and more.

“Anything and everything, we focus on CBD,” Deniece Isaacs said. “We focus on sharing knowledge.”

How has the response been since you first opened, and was it what you expected?

Deniece Isaacs: It’s been pretty good. The response has been really warm. Everyone has been really supportive. I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Everyone feels so passionate

Shop Talk about it. They think it’s good for us, or think it’s not.

Ron Isaac: The nice thing is so many people come in and thank us for doing this. …

There are so many testimonials. We’ve heard people who say they try it and it doesn’t work for them. We don’t ever tell anybody this will help you because nothing’s ever been researched. We just go by what they say. We hear so many stories.

Are there other specialty shops like yours in the area?

Deniece Isaacs: No, there is not. There are a lot of places that sell CBD, but we specialize in it. We share what we learn, whether you get it here or not. Most places have CBD as part of one of their many, many products. It’s all we do here.

Indictments filed in crime spree case

By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News

A Kenai Grand Jury on Oct. 17 indicted two Homer men who were previously charged with burglary and theft in a spree of home and vehicle break-ins in August.

Travis K. Catron, 25, was indicted on two counts of firstdegree burglary and three counts of second-degree theft. Niko E. Mogar, 27, was indicted on three counts of first-degree burglary and two counts of second-degree theft. All the charges are felonies.

The theft charges include theft of a firearm.

Homer Police officers arrested the two men on suspicion of a crime spree Aug. 21-27 involving stolen cars, stolen guns, East End Road burglaries, and numerous petty thefts from vehicles in downtown Homer and on the Homer Spit. As part of the indictment, Catron had charges dismissed of first-degree burglary, second-degree theft, seconddegree criminal trespass, violating conditions of release, fourthdegree theft and third-degree theft. Mogar had charges of first-

degree burglary, second-degree theft and third-degree theft dismissed by the prosecution. All of the previous felony charges were submitted to the grand jury and indictments returned. The new felony cases were transferred to Kenai Superior Court.

Kenai District Attorney Scot Leaders explained in an email that when cases are consolidated like that and indictments filed, the original court cases are dismissed.

“The conduct/charges are prosecuted in the surviving case,” he wrote. “… My office under-

stands and respects the high interest these cases have to the Homer community, and will continue to diligently do our best to prosecute the conduct in the furtherance of justice for all involved.”

A trial for Catron has been set for the week of Nov. 26. No trial date has been set for Mogar, who was also found guilty on a charge of unlawful conduct in a jury trial held last week in Homer. Mogar is in custody at Wildwood Pretrial Facility in Kenai. Catron is in supervised custody.

Military contract info session draws strong interest FAIRBANKS (AP) — Construction at military facilities in interior Alaska is attracting strong interest from contractors.

The Procurement Technical Assistance Program in Fairbanks announced a presentation, scheduled for Wednesday, on how to do business with the military, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported .

Organizers expected about 30 people to sign up, said contract specialist Pierre Thompson. Instead, they quickly filled reservations last week for the planned venue with responses from 135 people.

“This blew up in my face,” Thompson said. “I put it out on Monday, and it was pretty much filled on Tuesday.”

Likewise, by the weekend, there were only a few seats in Anchorage for a live-stream version of the presentation at the office of Associated General Contractors of Alaska.

The meeting will feature Army and Air force military contractor officials.

“It’s going to be all-encompassing, so if you are an electrician, or if you cater, or if you do anything that would be involved with doing a lot of construction, then these contracts will be something that you will be interested in,” said Jacqueline Summers, a program specialist in Anchorage for the Procurement Technical Assistant Program.

The meeting is planned as the Defense Department continues $500 million in construction projects at Eielson Air Force Base south of Fairbanks in preparation for the arrival of F-35 fighter jets in 2020.

Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks has an upcoming environmental remediation project. Fort Greely at Delta Junction is installing additional missile defense interceptors, and Clear Air Force Station is installing a new longrange radar system.

The meeting will include staff from the 354th Contracting Squadron at Eielson and the 715th Contracting Team at Fort Wainwright.

“Usually those contracting officers are really hard to get a face-to-face meeting with, so the fact that they’re coming out and actively recruiting is kind of a sign that there’s a lot going on,” Summers said.

Scientists: Wind, drought worsen fires, not bad management

By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — Both nature and humans share blame for California’s devastating wildfires, but forest management did not play a major role, despite President Donald Trump’s claims, fire scientists say.

Nature provides the dangerous winds that have whipped the fires, and human-caused climate change over the long haul is killing and drying the shrubs and trees that provide the fuel, experts say.

“Natural factors and humancaused global warming effects fatally collude” in these fires, said wildfire expert Kristen Thornicke of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.

Multiple reasons explain the fires’ severity, but “forest management wasn’t one of them,” University of Utah fire scientist Philip Dennison said.

Trump tweeted on Saturday: “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.”

The death toll from the wildfire that incinerated the town of Northern California town of Paradise and surrounding areas climbed to 29, matching the mark for the deadliest single blaze in California history.

Statewide, the number of fire dead stood at 31, including two victims in Southern California.

One reason that scientists know that management isn’t to blame is that some areas now burning had fires in 2005 and 2008, so they aren’t “fuelchoked closed-canopy forests,” Dennison said.

In those earlier fires, Paradise was threatened but escaped major damage, he said. In the

current blazes, it was virtually destroyed.

The other major fire, in Southern California, burned through shrub land, not forest, Dennison said.

“It’s not about forest management. These aren’t forests,” he said.

The dean of the University of Michigan’s environmental school, Jonathan Overpeck, said Western fires are getting bigger and more severe. He said it “is much less due to bad management and is instead the result of our baking of our forests, woodlands and grasslands with ever-worsening climate change.”

Wildfires have become more devastating because of the extreme weather swings from global warming, fire scientists said. The average number of U.S. acres burned by wildfires has doubled over the level from 30 years ago.

As of Monday, more than 13,200 square miles have burned. That’s more than a third higher than the 10-year average.

From 1983 to 1999, the United States didn’t reach 10,000 square miles burned annually.

Since then, 11 of 19 years have had more than 10,000 square miles burned, including this year. In 2006, 2015 and 2017, more than 15,000 square miles burned.

The two fires now burning “aren’t that far out of line with the fires we’ve seen in these areas in recent decades,” Dennison said.

“The biggest factor was wind,” Dennison said in an email. “With wind speeds as high as they were, there was nothing firefighters could do to stop the advance of the fires.”

These winds, called Santa Ana winds, and the unique geography of high mountains and deep valleys act like chimneys, fortifying the fires, Thornicke said.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 13, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure lowering the minimum draft age from 21 to 18.

On this date: In 1775, during the American Revolution, the Continental Army captured Montreal.

In 1789, Benjamin Franklin wrote in a letter to a friend, Jean-Baptiste Leroy: “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”

In 1909, 259 men and boys were killed when fire erupted inside a coal mine in Cherry, Illinois.

In 1956, the Supreme Court struck down laws calling for racial segregation on public buses.

In 1969, speaking in Des Moines, Iowa, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew accused network television news departments of bias and distortion, and urged viewers to lodge complaints.

In 1974, Karen Silkwood, a 28-year-old technician and union activist at the Kerr-McGee Cimarron plutonium plant near Crescent, Oklahoma, died in a car crash while on her way to meet a reporter.

In 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. In 1985, some 23,000 residents of Armero, Colombia, died when a volcanic mudslide buried the city.

In 1994, Sweden voted in a non-binding referendum to join the European Union, which it did the following year.

In 2000, lawyers for George W. Bush failed to win a court order barring manual recounts of ballots in Florida. Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris announced she would end the recounting at 5 p.m. Eastern time the next day -- prompting an immediate appeal by lawyers for Al Gore.

In 2001, President George W. Bush approved the use of a special military tribunal that could put accused terrorists on trial faster and in greater secrecy than an ordinary criminal court. President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin met at the White House, where they pledged to slash Cold War-era nuclear arsenals by two-thirds.

In 2015, Islamic State militants carried out a set of coordinated attacks in Paris on the national stadium, restaurants and streets, and a crowded concert hall, killing 130 people in the worst attack on French soil since World War II. Ten years ago: A wind-driven fire erupted in Southern California; the blaze destroyed more than 200 homes in Santa Barbara and neighboring Montecito. Investors did an abrupt turnaround on Wall Street, muscling the Dow Jones industrial average up more than 550 points after three straight days of selling. Colombian rocker Juanes (WAH’-nehs) won five awards, including record of the year and album of the year, at the Latin Grammys in Houston. Cleveland’s Cliff Lee won the American League Cy Young Award.

Five years ago: The Obama administration revealed that just 26,794 people had enrolled for health insurance during the first, flawed month of operations for the federal “Obamacare” website. (More than 79,000 others had signed up in the 14 states with their own websites.) Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted during a heated City Council meeting that he’d bought illegal drugs while in office, but he adamantly refused calls from councilors to step down and seek help. Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers won baseball’s Cy Young Awards. Former Raiders tight end Todd Christensen died during liver transplant surgery in Utah; he was 57.

One year ago: A second woman accused Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexually assaulting her as a teenager in the late 1970s; Moore described the charge as “absolutely false” and a “political maneuver.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Moore should drop out of the race. (Moore went on to lose a special election to Democrat Doug Jones.) A North Korean soldier was shot several times by his comrades as he fled over the border to the South; he underwent surgery and recovered at a South Korean hospital. The Oakland Raiders broke ground on a 65,000seat domed stadium in Las Vegas. The Food and Drug Administration approved the first drug with a sensor that alerts doctors when the medication has been taken. President Donald Trump picked former pharmaceutical executive Alex Azar to be his health secretary.

Thought for Today: “If we like a man’s dream, we call him a reformer; if we don’t like his dream, we call him a crank.” -- William Dean Howells, American author (1837-1920).

How has this location been working for you?

Deniece Isaacs: We met here 35 years ago.

Ron Isaacs: This was Larry’s Club. She worked in the restaurant then.

Deniece Isaacs: We were fond of this location from the time that we found out it might be available.

Ron Isaacs: We’ve still got a lot to do here. We have to get the paving in and a few things here and there, but you got to work it as you can. We like the location. It’s easy to get in and off the highway. There’s surprisingly a large amount of traffic here. We didn’t think there would be this much traffic.

How popular are the pet products?

Deniece Isaacs: We probably sell just as many dog treats as we do people products. I had one lady come in and she said

she was babysitting a Pomeranian for a friend and a half an hour after she gives the dog a CBD treat, she noticed how happy the dog was because he was jumping around and wanting to play. She said she wanted something that would make her feel that way. If everyone made that association it would be great. It works for some people and it doesn’t work for everyone.

How are you getting the word out about your business?

Deniece Isaacs: It’s very hard because being hemp we still fall underneath some of those categories that are gray.

Not everyone can take our advertising dollar and we do have other restrictions. We are relying on relationships and word of mouth, and a little bit of radio.

Do you offer any discounts?

Deniece Isaacs: We offer a veterans discount and a senior discount. If it weren’t for our veterans or our seniors we wouldn’t be here.

finalists and make a decision.

If Walker does take up the issue himself, Dunleavy will have ample opportunity to select judges as well: The Judicial Council will nominate finalists for vacancies in Anchorage, Kodiak, Palmer (two positions) and Utqiagvik in early 2019.

Among the finalists selected in the November lists are Daniel Schally and Julie Willoughby, who will be considered for the new Superior Court seat created by the Alaska Legislature earlier this year.

Willoughby was rejected

by Walker earlier this year for another Juneau Superior Court

. . . Count Continued from page A1

House Republican Minority appeared to control 21 seats in the 40-person Alaska House of Representatives. That’s the bare minimum needed to control the House, and it includes LeBon. “The House is in the balance,” LeBon said by phone from Fairbanks. “If Kathryn Dodge ends up winning, then it’s 20-20, and all bets are off.

I’d say this is real important.”

The 20-member Senate is

vacancy. In that case, Walker offered Willoughby the job but recanted after viewing a legal brief she wrote in defense of a client accused of sexual abuse of a minor. Willoughby is a criminal defense attorney, and Walker’s move was roundly criticized by the Alaska Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

Willoughby received high marks from attorneys familiar with her work; fellow attorneys gave her 4.4 out of 5 possible points in the anonymous surveys conducted by the bar association as part of the vetting process for nominees. Schally, the district court judge in Valdez and a former Ketchikan district attorney, received 4.5 out of 5 points.

Angie Kemp, Juneau’s district attorney, withdrew her can-

didacy on Nov. 3, DiPietro said by phone. Kelly Cavanaugh also withdrew; Debra O’Gara and Shawn Traini were not selected as finalists.

Another Juneau name appears on the council’s list of finalists for the Alaska Court of Appeals. On Nov. 8, the council named Juneau Superior Court Judge Philip Pallenberg one of three people to be considered by the governor. The court of appeals seat is opening with the impending retirement of Judge David Mannheimer.

Pallenberg received a rating of 4.4 out of 5 from his fellow attorneys, the same as fellow finalist Bethany Harbison. Tim Terrell, the third finalist, received a rating of 4.5 out of 5.

Douglas Owen Moody, Eric Ringsmuth and Michael R.

Smith were not selected as finalists.

If Pallenberg is selected for the vacancy, he could maintain an office in Juneau: State law allows court of appeals judges to live and work in Anchorage, Fairbanks or Juneau. His appointment would also open another Superior Court vacancy in Juneau: The entire Juneau bench would have turned over in less than 12 months.

Four finalists have been named to replace Kenai Superior Court Judge Charles Huguelet: Roberta C. Erwin, Jason Gist, Daniel Schally (also a finalist for Juneau’s vacancy) and Shawn Traini.

In Bethel, Terrence P. Haas and David L. Roghair are the two finalists for the Superior Court vacancy there.

more firmly in the hands of a Republican-led majority, but if Kelly loses to Kawasaki, Democrats would hold seven seats in the body. If they join with moderate Republicans, the resulting coalition majority could have enough support to control the chamber.

“I can’t speak to that, but I can say a lot of people want change down in Juneau,” Kawasaki said from Fairbanks when asked if a coalition majority would follow his victory.

Kelly deferred comments until Friday, saying through a spokesman that he wants to

await the results.

Preliminary figures for absentee votes favor the Republicans.

In House District 1, 177 of the 275 absentee ballots received through Election Day favored LeBon. In Senate District A, 502 absentee ballots were received through Election Day: 336 favored Kelly.

By phone, Kawasaki said that while absentee votes have favored Kelly, early votes have gone in his favor.

Figures from the Division of Elections show that of the 1,346 early votes cast before Election Day, 796 were for

Kawasaki. Some “early votes” were cast at elections offices on Election Day (they receive that name because they were not cast at normal precinct polling places), and Kawasaki said he also expects to receive a majority of question ballots.

Senate District A includes Fort Wainwright, and a significant number of mailed-in absentee ballots may be included in the counts this week.

“There are so many people who have yet to vote, we want to make sure every vote counts,” he said. “Until those votes come in, we’re not ready to concede.”

What Others Say

Democratic process is messy, but vital Finally it’s over.

At least until the next election heats up, we will get a respite from mailboxes filled with flyers, endless advertisements demonizing the other side, and social media posts proclaiming one party or one candidate offers the only solution.

The acrimony leading up to Tuesday’s midterm elections too often was a function of deliberate oversimplification. Our state and nation face complex problems that are resistant to easy solutions. Simple fixes would already have been accomplished; the low-hanging branches already are bare. The remaining problems are inherently difficult, requiring level-headed input from multiple perspectives.

The intensity of this election was disturbing, but also a good sign.

Americans get worked up because we care. We are passionate in our desire to improve the state and nation.

And we believe in democracy. We believe our vote matters not just to short-term outcomes, but to the long-term viability of the American experiment in self-governance.

While passionate advocacy has been an essential element of our nation’s greatness, so has the willingness to abide by the decisions of the majority. Every contested race on Tuesday’s ballot resulted in winners and losers.

It is incumbent on the winners to accept victory with humility.

The heavier burden is upon losers. They are frustrated today, and the temptation is to reject the system that dismissed their preferences.

But it is the system, far more than particular candidates or issues, that defines our nation. Our representative democracy — to paraphrase Winston Churchill — is the worst form of government except for all the others. It is chaotic and nasty, brutal and inefficient.

For all its rough edges, however, our system of government eventually points us in the right direction. We stumble and backtrack, careen to the left and right, but our nation’s history is one of progress.

The losers in Tuesday’s election — and most people who voted lost at least one race — need to step back.

Beyond the barrage of tribal campaigning, can we see merit in the candidate or position we opposed?

Even if the answer is no, we should respect the system that allowed us to have a voice. Those convinced the election outcome was harmful have time to better articulate their message before the next election.

Our system is built on immense confidence in the citizenry.

We are trusted to both engage in the conflict of campaigns and accept disappointing results with equanimity.

We are trusted to express our opinions with energy, but to reserve our greatest loyalty to a democratic process that often rejects our viewpoints.

What’s wrong with Florida elections?

MIAMI — Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) had the best line when it comes to the latest Florida election in which contests for governor and the U.S. Senate are still undecided.

Rubio tweeted: “Bay County was hit by a Cat 4 Hurricane just 4 weeks ago, yet managed to count votes & submit timely results. Yet over 41 hours after polls closed #Broward elections office is still counting votes?”

With lawyers descending on the state in what looks to some like a replay of the 2000 “hanging chad” presidential election, an automatic recount has been triggered for both contests.

President Trump and other Republicans are crying foul and accusing Democrats of trying to “steal” the election. Given the history of voter fraud in this country and the heavily Democratic makeup of Broward and Palm Beach counties, their suspicions may be justified.

Vote-stealing isn’t new. After the initial vote count in the 1948 Texas Senate race, which saw Lyndon Johnson losing to his opponent Coke Stevenson by 20,000 votes, previously “unreported precincts” and other “adjustments” were made in the vote totals. Johnson came out the winner by a mere 87 votes, earning him the derisive title “Landslide Lyndon.”

In the 1960 presidential race, which saw the tightest popular vote margin since Gro-

ver Cleveland defeated James Blaine in 1884 by just 23,000 votes, Republicans claimed Richard Nixon was robbed. As Politico reported in a 2016 article, “In Illinois, (John F. Kennedy) Cal Thomas won by just 8,800 votes, largely due to margins in Chicago, where Mayor Richard Daley — a Kennedy stalwart — tightly controlled the Cook County organization.

In Texas, home of his running mate, Lyndon Johnson, the Kennedy-Johnson ticket won by a margin of 46,000. Had Nixon carried both states, he would have won the Electoral College, 270 to 252.”

In the 2008 Minnesota Senate race between Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken, Coleman won the election by the narrowest of margins. According to CNN, “The initial count from the November 4 election put Coleman, a first-term senator, 215 votes ahead of Franken.” The slim margin triggered an automatic recount. The canvassing board finally determined that Franken “won by 225 votes.”

After Franken was sworn in, a conservative group called Minnesota Majority began investigating claims of voter fraud.

The group found 1,099 felons, all of them ineligible, had voted. As John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky note in their book “Who’s Counting?: How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk,” most felons favor Democrats when they can vote.

Which brings us back to Florida. With vote margins in the races for governor and Senate so tight, Republicans are worried that history will repeat itself.

Brenda Snipes, the supervisor of Elections in Broward County, has held her job for 15 years. Her history, to put it charitably, has been checkered. Last May, a judge ruled that Snipes violated federal and state election laws when she destroyed ballots in the 2016 congressional race in which Tim Canova lost a primary contest to incumbent Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

In August, a judge ordered Snipes to stop opening mail-in ballots in secret. Snipes has engaged in other behavior that has raised concerns about her competence and nonpartisanship, including again in 2016 when she “accidentally” posted election results 30 minutes before polls closed.

The recount process will be anything but pleasant. Snipes and others who are responsible for this dysfunctional, incompetent and possibly criminal behavior should be replaced, the sooner the better for Florida and for the country.

lished under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The Borough Assembly’s continued attempt to exert power over who and which “religious” associations can be heard represents a direct assault on both of our fundamental freedoms of religion and expression.

The mere use of the language “approved religious associations” must be considered unconstitutional, and therefore unacceptable, because, as stated, this language attempts to establish the Borough Assembly as an official arbiter of religious relevance and acceptability. Further, the Borough’s attempt to limit or suppress the expression of any “unapproved” points of view, surely

violates another of our cherished freedoms, our freedom of expression.

To wit: That our Borough Assembly continues to spend money to attack two of our constitutionally established and protected freedoms, and particularly during a time of budgetary crises, represents both constitutional and financial malfeasance. Please do not spend our precious fiscal resources to appeal the recent court ruling that held as unconstitutional the current Borough Assembly policy limiting the participation in Borough invocations.

Picking up another seat, Dems ride high

By STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

NEW YORK — No, it wasn’t a blue wave. But a week after the voting, Democrats are riding higher than they thought on election night.

As vote counting presses on in several states, the Democrats have steadily chalked up victories across the country, firming up their grip on the U.S. House of Representatives and statehouses. The slow roll of wins has given the party plenty to celebrate.

President Donald Trump was quick to claim victory for his party on election night. But the Democrats, who hit political rock bottom just two years ago, have now picked up at least 32 seats in the House — and lead in four more — in addition to flipping seven governorships and eight state legislative chambers.

They are on track to lose two seats in

the Senate in a year both parties predicted more. On Monday night, Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema won Arizona’s Senate race, beating Republican Rep. Martha McSally to take the seat held by retiring GOP Sen. Jeff Flake.

The overall results in the first nationwide election of the Trump presidency represent the Democratic Party’s best midterm performance since Watergate.

“Over the last week we’ve moved from relief at winning the House to rejoicing at a genuine wave of diverse, progressive and inspiring Democrats winning office,” said Ben Wikler, Washington director of the liberal group MoveOn. The blue shift alters the trajectory of Trump’s next two years in the White House, breaking up the Republican monopoly in Washington. It also gives Democrats stronger footing in key states ahead of the next presidential race and in the redrawing of congres-

sional districts — a complicated process that has been dominated by the GOP, which has drawn favorable boundaries for their candidates.

Trump and his allies discounted the Democratic victories on Monday, pointing to GOP successes in Republican-leaning states.

“Thanks to the grassroots support for @ realDonaldTrump and our party’s ground game, we were able to #DefyHistory and make gains in the Senate!” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tweeted, citing Senate wins in Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota and Tennessee, among others.

Indeed, just once in the past three decades had a sitting president added Senate seats in his first midterm election. But lost in McDaniel’s assessment was the difficult 2018 Senate landscape for Democrats, who were defending 10 seats in states Trump carried just two years ago.

Giants’ Manning tops 49ers on late TD pass

By JOSH DUBOW AP Pro Football Writer

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Eli Manning showed he still has what it takes to lead the kind of game-winning drive that earned him two Super Bowl MVP awards.

Manning capped a 75-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard with 53 seconds left and the New York Giants snapped a fivegame losing streak by beating the San Francisco 49ers 27-23 on Monday night.

“It doesn’t get old,” said Manning, whose 36 game-winning drives are the third most in the NFL since he entered

the league in 2004. “It’s fun. It’s fun playing in those games and having a two-minute drive to win it. Those are the situations you want to be in. You want to have a chance.”

The Giants (2-7) have failed to capitalize on those late-game situations this season, losing five games by seven or fewer points as part of a disappointing stretch that has put the 37-year-old Manning’s status as starting quarterback in question.

But Manning delivered against the 49ers (2-8) to give New York a muchneeded win.

“That’s what Eli is really good at, engineering those come-from-behind drives,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “That

Sports Briefs Ohtani, Acuna Jr. earn rookie honors NEW YORK — Shohei Ohtani was rewarded for a Ruthian season at the plate — and on the mound.

Baseball’s best two-way player since the Babe at the dawn of the live-ball era a century ago, Ohtani was an overwhelming pick for American League Rookie of the Year on Monday despite an elbow injury that stymied his switch from Japan to the major leagues and likely will prevent him from pitching next year.

“I was just kind of disappointed I wasn’t able to play a full season,” he said through a translator. “I feel like every player should be able to play a full year and help out the team. So that’s something I need to work on, and that’s going to be one of my goals, to stay healthy for a long full season and be able to the team win from day one.”

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was a runaway choice for the NL honor over Washington outfielder Juan Soto in a contest between 20-year-olds.

Hue Jackson to return to Bengals CLEVELAND — Hue Jackson’s timeout from coaching didn’t last long.

Fired last month after a brutal run with the Browns, Jackson will rejoin Cincinnati’s staff under Marvin Lewis, a person familiar with the hiring told The Associated Press on Monday night.

Jackson, who was dismissed by Cleveland on Oct. 29 with one year left on his contract after going 3-36-1 in two-plus seasons, will take an unspecified position with the Bengals, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the move.

It’s a homecoming of sorts for Jackson, who served as Cincinnati’s offensive coordinator under Lewis in 2014 and 2015 before he was hired by Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam. Jackson also worked with the Bengals as a defensive assistant and wide receivers coach and is extremely tight with Lewis and a favorite of Bengals owner Mike Brown.

Mauer retires from Twins MINNEAPOLIS — Yes, the narrative of Joe Mauer’s career was missing a championship chapter. That plotline stalled for a few years while the star was set back by injuries.

Still, this story of the Minnesota native with the smooth lefthanded swing who played for the Twins the entire time sure was made for a movie.

Six weeks after Mauer symbolically donned his catcher’s gear for one last crouch behind the plate in the final inning of the season, Mauer formalized his goodbye to the game at a tear-filledyet-cheerful news conference to wrap up a 15-year major league career at age 35.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have the personal accolades, and I really do believe that’s a byproduct of how the team does, and those things just come along with it,” Mauer said. “But I’d want to be known as a great teammate, a great person, and a guy who gave it everything he had.”

Rangers nip Canucks

By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Henrik Lundqvist stopped 25 shots to lead the surging New York Rangers to a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night.

Filip Chytil and Brett Howden scored to help Lundqvist get his 437th career win, tying Jacque Plante for seventh place on the NHL’s all-time list. The Rangers improved to 6-0-1 in the last seven.

HURRICANES 3, BLACKHAWKS 2, OT RALEIGH, N.C. — Sebastian Aho scored 1:16 into overtime and Carolina spoiled Cam Ward’s emotional return to Raleigh.

Teuvo Teravainen and Micheal Ferland scored power-play goals 66 seconds apart late in the second period for Carolina, which has earned points in three straight and beat Chicago for the second time in four nights.

BLUE JACKETS 2, STARS 1 DALLAS — Pierre-Luc Du-

bois scored midway through the third period to lift Metropolitan Division-leading Columbus.

Dubois took a pass from Cam Atkinson behind the net and backhanded the puck under the crossbar with 9:39 left for his eighth goal.

capture the outside edge and Eli put the ball in a perfect place.”

Matt Breida ran for 101 yards and scored two touchdowns for the 49ers (2-8), who were unable to win consecutive games under third-string quarterback Nick Mullens. Breida’s 23-yard run helped set up a 30-yard field goal

by Robbie Gould that gave the Niners a 23-20 lead with 2:46 to play.

But the 49ers allowed the go-ahead score and couldn’t pull it out at the end as Mullens’ pass from the Giants 21 sailed out of the end zone on the final play.

“Those are the plays you have to make to finish the game,” Mullens said. “That was a moment of truth, and

I didn’t get the job done. I have to play better in those moments of truth. We all have to play better.”

Mullens wasn’t nearly as sharp as he was in his NFL debut against the Raiders on Nov. 1 when he joined Hall of Famers Jim Kelly and Fran Tarkenton as the only players with at least 250 yards passing, three touchdown passes and no interceptions in the first career game.

Mullens threw for 250 yards and had an 11-yard TD pass to Breida that made it 20-10 early in the third quarter. But Mullens also threw two interceptions with the first setting up a 10-yard TD pass from Manning to Beckham .

Timberwolves cut down Nets New Jersey loses LeVert to leg injury late in 1st half

By The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — KarlAnthony Towns had 25 points and a season-high 21 rebounds, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Brooklyn Nets 120-113 on Monday after finally trading Jimmy Butler.

The Nets lost leading scorer Caris LeVert to what appeared to be a severe right leg injury late in the first half.

PELICANS 126, RAPTORS 110

It’s official: Butler moves to Philadelphia MIAMI — Jimmy Butler is in Philadelphia, and upon his arrival he immediately began talking about winning a championship.

“The Process” has a whole new meaning.

Butler, a four-time All-Star forward, is now officially a member of the 76ers, after they and the Minnesota Timberwolves received approval from the league office Monday on the terms of the trade that was agreed to over the weekend.

“He replicates, he mirrors, the spirit of Philadelphia,” 76ers coach Brett Brown said. “He is a fierce competitor. And there is a toughness that he plays with. That’s who he is. And he wears it on his face, it’s seen in his game, it’s confirmed by multiple all-defensive teams and it’s a perfect fit for the city and our program defensively.”

was terrific. He hung in there and made some really good throws and got us into the end zone. That’s the sign of a good quarterback.”

Manning threw two TD passes to Odell Beckham Jr. and then engineered the late game-winning drive with help from a pair of third-down penalties against Malcolm Smith and Ahkello Witherspoon.

Saquon Barkley then had a 23-yard catch to get the ball into the red zone and Manning connected with Shepard on third down to give the Giants the win.

“I just saw man-to-man coverage,” Shepard said. “That’s something we’ve been practicing. I was able to

-- HAPPY HOLIDAYS WITHOUT CONFLICT DEAR H.H.: You came up with an excellent solution. Thinking outside the box is a trait that can be extremely helpful in ensuring the success of the holiday celebrations.

For many reasons, not everyone celebrates the holidays on their designated calendar days, and that includes Thanksgiving. If more families took a page out of your book, it could eliminate

much of the holiday stress regular readers of my column suffer. Thank you for taking the time to write.

DEAR ABBY: I enjoy going to movies, especially to the theater in town where I can reserve my seat ahead of time. I recently reserved my seat two days in advance to a movie I had been wanting to see. When I arrived at the theater, a woman was sitting in my seat. I politely pointed out to her that she was in my seat, and she glared at me and said rudely, “Really?”

Granted, the row was empty at the time, but it was still early. I knew more people would show up, and I didn’t want to take someone else’s seat. So I replied, “Yes, REALLY. I reserved this seat days ago.” Was I right asking her to move? More people did show up, and the theater was full.

-- MY SEAT IN NEW MEXICO DEAR MY SEAT: Yes, you were right. And if the woman had refused to move, you should have asked an usher to “clarify” your seat assignment for her and ensure she complied.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2018: This year you open up to many new and seemingly revolutionary ideas. Those in your circle of friends often stop by to check out what is going on with you. If you are single, you might meet someone very different and mesmerizing. You might find that your attraction to this person could transform over time. If you are attached, you could have an urge to indulge your significant other in any way possible. Be careful not to smother your sweetie. AQUARIUS always gives you advice.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Feelings run high, at least in your dream life. You gain an unexpected and perhaps startling insight.

A conversation with a friend opens up the possibilities that come from this insight. Financial opportunities come through a partnership. Tonight: Where your friends are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Look for answers by removing yourself from a heated situation.

Know your limits. You could feel as though you need to gain more information. Try to walk in someone else’s shoes as well. Through understanding, you could gain financially.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Reach out to a loved one at a distance. You might need to have a discussion about your impressions of certain events and what actually occurred. Opportunities head in from other people. Do not hesitate to ask

for help, should you have an issue.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Relate directly to a key partner and others who hold important positions in your life. These discussions, which could be emphasized more in the next few months, help to stabilize your daily life. A potential romance also could arise as a result of these chats. Tonight: Take a risk.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your strong personality doesn’t always mesh well with others’. Defer to several eccentric people with whom you enjoy collaborating.

Their high level of creativity appeals to you. You could be surprised by your reaction to what these people come up with. Tonight: Make it easy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You have been on a roll, so buckling down to do some work and clear out some to-dos could be both important and relaxing. You can’t let the structure of your life fall to the wayside. Open up to a family member’s suggestion. Tonight: Think only positive thoughts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You say what you think, and others demonstrate their caring through their responses. You reestablish a natural bond that exists between you and a close loved one.

You could meet someone from out of the blue who could have a big impact on your life. Tonight: All smiles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might opt to stay home, especially if you can work from there.

You might find that you’re more responsive and creative in that setting.

You also might be evaluating a real

Ziggy

estate deal or some other matter involving your home. Tonight: Have a long-overdue discussion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You seem to be carrying a lucky rabbit’s foot in your pocket, so if you find yourself in a challenging situation, you will turn it around.

You are full of surprises, and others might not be sure how to deal with you. Today, take the lead in all important matters. Tonight: Say “yes.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your concerns frequently surround financial stability. Once more, the same theme emerges. You need to be careful with something that might seem like a good hunch but easily could be problematic. Nevertheless, you will find that your intuition is unusually high. Tonight: Pay bills.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You perk up early in the day.

You suddenly might feel like you have control of a situation or the ability to handle whatever comes down the pike toward you. You have the ability to fulfill a long-term wish or dream this year. Start planning. Tonight: Time to scheme with a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might be uncomfortable, as someone could be reading you too well. It’s not like you enjoy being deceptive, but you might need to keep some distance from others, especially if you’re in the process of sorting out your feelings. Tonight: Do whatever feels good.

GET AHEAD OF THE FRONTS Dear Heloise: Is there anyone who still takes used greeting card fronts? Please reply in your column.

-- Irma B., Sioux Falls, S.D. Hi, Irma! St. Jude’s Ranch for Children is currently revamping its card program, but it is still accepting cards. Send the front of cards only (with no writing on the backs) to: St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, 100 St. Jude’s St., Boulder City, NV 89005.

Due to licensing issues, St. Jude’s cannot accept Hallmark, American Greetings or Disney cards.

St. Jude’s also graciously accepts monetary donations to help the kids, who are at the ranch because of abuse and neglect, among other reasons.

-- Heloise CANDLE REPLACEMENT Dear Heloise: Those small, battery-operated tea lights are the solution to burning candles, not only at Christmas, but at any time.

They flicker like real flames, I never have to replace burned-out candles, and, most importantly, if I forget to turn them off, no big deal -- no danger of fire!

-- Hillery, via email WHERE TO WRAP Dear Heloise: It’s that most wonderful time of the year -- holiday gift-wrapping time. For years now, I have used my ironing board.

The height is adjustable -- I move it around to where it suits me. No bending over, no sitting on the floor, no aching back.

-- Carolyn G., Charleston, S.C. TV TIME Dear Readers: Watching or listening to the TV is the perfect time to clean out drawers, bins and boxes of clutter.

I throw away/recycle things that are trash, donate things I can’t use, and keep what I really need. The task gets done quickly!

DEAR ABBY: I am ashamed to admit this, but years ago I had an affair with a married man. His wife had no idea, but all of his friends knew about it.

She recently left him because she met someone else, and he’s not only bad-mouthing her, but also using it against her in their divorce.

Would it be wrong of me to help her by letting her know he was a big cheater? I don’t want to cause her any more hurt than she’s already experiencing.

I no longer have any interest in him, but I think the information might help her. I genuinely feel for her.

-- KARMA OUT EAST DEAR KARMA: I genuinely feel for her, too.

By all means volunteer the information. And when you do, do NOT do it anonymously because if you do, her almost-ex can claim the information isn’t credible.

DEAR ABBY: With the holidays approaching, I want to share with you the solution to a holiday problem. When our kids grew up and started their own families, I had read many letters from young couples caught in the middle of a battle over where to spend Christmas. So I decided to start a new family tradition. We celebrated Christmas at Thanksgiving.

We put up the tree and had all the family presents wrapped and ready to exchange underneath.

Pets Woman goes above beyond at Crossed Paws Pet Rescue

By MIKE FERGUSON The Ledger of Lakeland

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — Dogs survive in her care because she doesn’t give up.

That’s what Stefanie Badillo, 45, of Auburndale, said about herself. Badillo is the owner of the nonprofit Crossed Paws Pet Rescue at what used to be Winter Haven Kennels, 3205 Recker Highway. “I’ve spent a lot of time, money and sleepless nights,�

Badillo said. “I love animals and always have.�

Since 2009, Badillo estimates that she’s spent about $60,000

of her own money rehabilitating animals. She said it started when she took in two Jack Russell Terriers that had been thrown out of a car window. “She’s done amazing things,� said volunteer Mariann Motola. “She’s literally crawled on her hands and knees to save dogs.�

Winter Haven Kennels was previously owned by Thomas Becker, who died in April 2017. His estate was later auctioned off. The location continued to be a boarding home, Badillo said, but the woman paid by the owner later abandoned the facility, which sat empty

for about two weeks. Badillo took in the 17 dogs that had been abandoned in early October and started working out of the location Oct. 16. “She’s all about the dogs,� said JoAnne Tickner, vice president of Crossed Paws. “It’s all about getting the dogs a forever home. We’re not just getting them adopted as quick as they can.�

Badillo said she has a strict, three-page application process and will take back dogs that are not a fit for families. The process includes background and in-home checks. She currently has 92 dogs at the facility and 140 total in her care — three on the verge of giving birth. “Most of my puppies are born into rescue,� Badillo

said. “I’ve worked really hard and I’m really tired. These dogs are my life.�

Currently, Badillo only has three volunteers but is looking for more and donations — both time and monetary. Information about adopting and volunteering can both be found online at https://crossedpawspetrescue.org/.

He might get along with other cats or dogs after a proper introduction period.

Meet Kish Super sweet, energetic boy. Loves to stand on his back legs and be close to you. May be a bit too much for really small children but from what we’ve seen he loves people.

Badillo said she’s been able to find homes for about 200 pets in the last six months alone — all online — from all across the Southeast. This is the first time she’s had a storefront. “I’m very picky on where my dogs go,� she said. “They have to be forever homes. I take in dogs that can’t find a forever home and see to it they get one.�
