Alaskans go to polls By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

After a marathon season of door-knocking, advertising and campaigning, it’s time for the final vote. Alaskans across the state will go to the polls today to decide who will replace Bill Walker as the state’s chief ex-

ecutive. They’ll decide if the longest actively serving U.S. Representative will get another term. They’ll decide control of the Alaska Legislature. They’ll pass verdict on judges across the state. And they’ll choose whether or not to support a ballot measure that has become the most expensive state-level campaign in Alaska

history. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. across the state, with first results expected by 9:15 p.m. and last results after 2:30 a.m., the Division of Elections said. More than 56,000 Alaskans had cast votes before the start of the last day of early voting on Monday, with advance turn-

out on pace to finish behind only 2014 among state midterm elections. Today’s vote will decide whether turnout tops that year overall. Four years ago, more than 285,000 Alaskans cast votes in the election that legalized recreational marijuana, raised the minimum wage and made Bill Walker the only

independent governor in the United States. Now, Walker has withdrawn from his re-election bid, leaving the outcome in doubt between Republican Mike Dunleavy and Democrat Mark Begich. Libertarian candidate Billy Toien is also on the ballot.

See VOTE, page A2

Before You Vote This Election Day What to know

★ Despite withdrawing from the race, Gov. Bill Walker and Byron Mallott’s names will still appear on the ballot. The withdrawal deadline was Sept. 4, and Walker decided to withdraw in October. A vote for any candidate for governor or lieutenant governor appearing on the 2018 general election ballot will be counted as a vote for that candidate ★ State Sen. Peter Micciche’s name will be the only one listed on the ballot for District O, but two candidates, Ron Gillham and Willow King, are waging separate write-in campaigns.

Where to go

★ Polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. ★ Not sure of your polling place? You can visit elections.alaska.gov or call 1-888-383-8683 to find out.

What to bring

★ Voters will need identification to vote. You can bring a voter ID card, driver’s license, state ID, military ID, passport, hunting or fishing license or other current or valid photo ID. ★ Voters can also bring a current utility bill, paycheck, government check, bank statement or other government-issued document if it contains the voter’s name and current address.

What to expect

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The election worker at your polling place will ask for your identification. They will look up your name on the percent register. They will check your residence address and ask if there have been any changes. You will sign your name and be given a ballot card to give to the ballot-issuing election worker. You will then be given a ballot. When voting, completely fill in the oval next to your choices. If you make a mistake while marking your ballot, return to the election worker and request a new ballot. Do not mark or cross any votes out. You will be given a secrecy sleeve to place your ballot inside. You will then place your ballot in the ballot box or into an optical scan voting unit.

SoHi’s ‘Chicago’ set to razzle dazzle By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

This week, the Soldotna High School theatre department is putting on the razzle dazzle with the three-day showing of “Chicago” — one of its edgier productions in recent years. With two months of work behind them now, stage director Sara Erfurth, a SoHi drama and English teacher, said the cast and crew is ready to thrill the audience with a story that she has held dear to her heart for a long time. “This is one of those plays I remember seeing in high school, and it really resonated with me,” Erfurth said. “It was one of those plays that I couldn’t get out of my head. Soldotna theater students (left to right) Katie Schwartz, Sophie The music’s so iconic and the Warth, Zaiyd Puryear and Olivia Davis practice a musical numstoryline was so engaging.” ber during rehearsal Friday of “Chicago” in the Soldotna High See SOHI page A3 auditorium.

Forestry to host beetle workshop By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Division of Forestry and Cooperative Extension will host a spruce bark beetle workshop Thursday. The event is being offered because of increased spruce bark beetle activity on the Kenai Peninsula, Jessie Moan, statewide integrated pest management program technician for the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service, said. She has been helping coordinate the workshops so people in affected areas can have access to information regarding their lands, and specifically trees. The workshop was also offered in Houston and Palmer last month. An estimated 52,000 acres of the Kenai Peninsula has been

damaged this year, according to the Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Forest Service. Agency representatives will be at the event to discuss spruce beetle activity, focusing on what landowners can do to protect their trees. “We’ll be covering everything from basic biology and life cycles of a spruce bark beetle, status of the current outbreak, what to do when your trees are already affected and more,” said Jason Moan, who is Division of Forestry’s forest health program coordinator. He said the event will be an all-encompassing effort to teach people about how landowners can take care of their trees. The event is 6-8 p.m. at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Building, 40610 Kalifornsky Beach Road.

Justices seem favorable to Alaska hovercraft hunter WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court sounded skeptical Monday of the National Park Service’s authority to prevent an Alaskan moose hunter from using his motorized rubber boat to access remote areas of the state. The justices heard arguments in a case that tests the

limits of the federal government’s authority in a state in which more than 60 percent of the land is federally owned. The state and moose hunter John Sturgeon are arguing that the Park Service cannot enforce a national ban on amphibious vehicles known as hovercraft on a river in Alaska for which

the state claims ownership, even though it runs through a national conservation area. Sturgeon won an earlier round at the Supreme Court. The case stems from Sturgeon’s 2007 encounter with three park rangers who ordered him off the Nation River within the Yukon-Charley Rivers Na-

tional Preserve in northeast Alaska. The rangers told him it was illegal to operate the noisy craft that can navigate shallow water or even mud. He sued in 2011. The issue is whether a federal law enacted in 1980 to protect undisturbed land but also allow Alaska residents to main-

tain their way of life provides an exception to Park Service regulation of rivers that pass through national parks. “Well, but, I mean, the waters are very important to Alaskans’ way of life in the way they aren’t elsewhere,” Chief Justice John Roberts said, voicSee COURT, page A2

. . . Vote Continued from page A1

The latest polls in the race have shown a tightening race between Dunleavy, who has consistently led, and Begich, who surged after Walker’s withdrawal. Walker’s name remains on the ballot, and even though the incumbent said he voted for Begich, a sufficient number of Walker votes could spoil Begich’s chance to come from behind. One of the biggest dividing issues between Dunleavy and Begich is their stance on Ballot Measure 1, which would implement a new law protecting salmon streams. Dunleavy opposes the measure; Begich supports it. According to campaign finance reports, the fish fight over Ballot Measure 1 has become the most expensive in state history, with almost $15 million total spent for and against the proposal. In addition to a tight governor’s race, Alaskans will also decide a race for the U.S. House of Representatives that may be even closer. Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, has been in office since independent challenger Alyse Galvin was 8 years old, but polls show Galvin neck-and-neck with Young. With Young finishing his campaign in Anchorage, Gal-

ing doubt about the Trump administration’s reading of the law that gives the federal government sweeping control of the waterways. Justice Department lawyer Edwin Kneedler told the court that the 1980 law is a compromise because it allows hunting and airplane use in areas that usually are closed to those activities in national parks in other states. But Congress did not intend to allow hovercraft to be used, Kneedler said, calling them very loud and unsightly.

vin embarked on an attempt to visit all of Alaska’s 40 statehouse districts in the last four days before the election. On the peninsula, candidates are vying for spots in Alaska House Districts 29 and 31 and Senate District O in hotly contested races. In District 29, which includes areas in Nikiski, Seward, Hope, Cooper Landing, Sterling and Funny River, Democrat Shawn Butler is facing off against Republican Ben Carpenter. In District 31, which includes southern peninsula communities, including Homer, Anchor Point, Ninilchik, Funny River, Fox River, Kachemack/Fritz Creek and Kasilof, Republican Sarah Vance is challenging non-partisan candidate Paul Seaton. For Alaska State Senate, Republican Sen. Peter Micciche is facing opposition from Ron Gillham, who launched a writein campaign after losing to Micciche by 72 votes in October’s initially too-close-to-call Republican primary. During the last legislative session, the House of Representatives was narrowly controlled by a coalition of Democrats, independents and moderate Republicans. The Alaska Senate is more firmly controlled by a Republican-led coalition that includes one Democrat. Candidates and supporters will be hosting a number of Election Day events on the peninsula. Roberts didn’t sound persuaded by that argument. “While you may think a hovercraft is unsightly, I mean, if you’re trying to get from point A to point B, it’s pretty beautiful,” he said. That comment aligned with the argument made by Alaska assistant attorney general Ruth Botstein, who said the law protected the state’s control over rivers. “Our rivers are our only roads,” Botstein said. The session Monday also displayed the difficulty the justices were having in reconciling the precise language of the 1980 law with arguments on both sides. “I’ve burned up an awful lot of gray cells trying to put together the pieces of this statute,” said Justice Samuel Alito.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, Nov. 6, the 310th day of 2018. There are 55 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 6, 1860, former Illinois congressman Abraham Lincoln of the Republican Party was elected President of the United States as he defeated John Breckinridge, John Bell and Stephen Douglas. On this date: In 1861, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was elected to a six-year term of office. In 1893, composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky died in St. Petersburg, Russia, at age 53. In 1906, Republican Charles Evans Hughes was elected governor of New York, defeating newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst. In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower won re-election, defeating Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson. In 1962, Democrat Edward M. Kennedy was elected Senator from Massachusetts. In 1977, 39 people were killed when the Kelly Barnes Dam in Georgia burst, sending a wall of water through Toccoa Falls College. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan won re-election by a landslide over former Vice President Walter Mondale, the Democratic challenger. In 1986, former Navy radioman John A. Walker Jr., the admitted head of a family spy ring, was sentenced in Baltimore to life imprisonment. (Walker died in prison in 2014 at age 77.) In 1990, about one-fifth of the Universal Studios backlot in southern California was destroyed in an arson fire. In 1995, funeral services were held in Jerusalem for assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. In 1997, former President George H.W. Bush opened his presidential library at Texas A&M University; among the guests of honor was President Clinton, the man who’d sent him into retirement. In 2001, billionaire Republican Michael Bloomberg won New York City’s mayoral race, defeating Democrat Mark Green. Ten years ago: President-elect Barack Obama spoke by phone with nine world leaders and met privately at the FBI office in Chicago with U.S. intelligence officials, preparing to become commander in chief. Five years ago: Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, testifying before the Senate Finance Committee on the nation’s health care law, was blistered by Republicans who bluntly challenged her honesty, pushed for her resignation and demanded unsuccessfully that she concede President Barack Obama had deliberately misled the public about his signature domestic program. At the Country Music Association Awards, Miranda Lambert won her fourth straight female vocalist of the year award while her husband, Blake Shelton, won album of the year and male vocalist -- a category he also won for the fourth year in a row.

KPC Showcase: Environmental Justice, Indigenous Communities, and the Economy with author Winona LaDuke

Continued from page A1

Although the play is a slight diversion away from the “Fairy Tale” performances that SoHi has put on recently, including last year’s “Cinderella,” many of the adult elements of the original musical have been cleaned up. “If you’ve seen it, you know it’s a little salacious and controversial,” Erfurth said. The play centers around themes of murder and corruption in 1920s Chicago, and the original musical and 2002 film showcase elements of vaudeville and sexuality that might make for some awkwardness around families attending the show. Erfurth said she never considered tackling the play for a high school production, but when she heard news that production company Samuel French had released a cleaner version of Chicago that revised and softened the script to make it more community friendly, she knew it could be pulled off quite successfully. “It is a big departure from what we’ve done the last couple years,” Efruth said. Erfurth returns after several big productions at SoHi the past few years, including “Cinderella” and “Once Upon a Mattress,” the latter of which Terri Zoph-Schoessler directed with help from Erfurth. Erfurth said she has worked with her biggest cast list yet, with around 24 people involved in the production. She attributes that to a greater concentration of dance and song numbers, which equates

to more choreography and planning. It also means the talent has had to take a step up, and Erfurth said the production will feature some of the strongest female vocalists SoHi has to offer. She said the two lead stars of the show, Katie Delker and Allison Towell, will combine to create quite a spectacular duo. Delker plays the scandalous and feisty Roxie Hart, while Towell takes on the role of the glamorous and sarcastic Velma Kelly. Hart is accused of murdering her secret lover Fred Casely, played by Soldotna’s Demion Caulderon, after being caught by husband Amos Hart, played by SoHi’s Derrick Bever. While in jail, Hart slowly befriends Kelly while they both look for a way out. SoHi junior Jaron Swanson plays the sensationalist lawyer, Billy Flynn, who is hired to represent both women. Swanson said playing Flynn is a challenge that he’s up to, particularly since he was picked for it. “It’s fun. The nerves get to you sometimes,” Swanson said. “I was ready for any role I was given. If I was given a background, I’d take it. Or, if I was given this one, I was excited for it.” Swanson isn’t new to the big roles. He played Prince Charming in “Cinderella” last year, and has attended a variety of acting camps, including a national excursion in Utah. It helped prepare him for such expert numbers as “Razzle Dazzle” and “We Both Reached For The Gun,” which test even the most seasoned singers with quick lyrics and rhythm.

. . . SoHi

Peninsula Take-a-Break Luncheon

“It’s new for a lot of us,” Swanson said. “It’s exciting. It’s scary. But we’re all ready for it.” SoHi junior Rowan Vasquez, who takes on the character of Matron “Mama” Morton, said the revised high school edition of “Chicago” has been a work in progress, even without some of the more risqué material. “It’s a little bit harder because we have to do things exactly from the book, or else we can’t do it,” Vasquez said. “It’s kind of on the edge, but we’re going for it.” Swanson added that the cleaned-up version is something that he thinks will make for a better show. “First, I think it’s a great idea, because all these families will be there,” Swanson said. “But (it’s good) they kept some of the things, because if they ripped all of it away, it wouldn’t have been Chicago. They found the right gray area between.” And the strong female voices that Erfurth alluded to are hard to miss. Vasquez, a Triumvirate North Theatre actress who is participating in her third SoHi play, said she has always enjoyed taking on the “bossy” characters, something that her character is well known for. “I think of my character as a confident lady,” Vasquez said. “When I’m acting it, I have to confident about things, but it puts me out of my comfort zone, and it’s good.” The stage veteran said working under Erfurth has been a great experience. “She doesn’t come into it with a little bit of thought,” Vasquez said. “She comes in with this big imagination.” Erfurth said the process has also been substantially anchored by the talents hidden behind the stage, the production crew. Erfurth’s husband Nathan, the technical director of the production, has led the behind-the-scenes efforts with set and lighting design, and credited the kids with building the immaculate sets. “The kids build it, they’re the ones that make it happen,” he said. “Our kids are so committed to a lot of things. Theater is often a secondary obligation. We’ve got athletes and academic achievers, or singers, so it’s getting everybody here … consistently enough to build something big.” Erfurth said he has been planning it out since March, and enlisted the help of master carpenter Levi Wahl, a SoHi senior. Wahl said he enjoys the multitasking aspect of the production. “It’s a fun chance to solve problems that you wouldn’t get in a shop class or some-

thing,” Wahl said. “There are so many moving parts to this one. The jail cells are moving. The screen flats are going up and down. Just a lot of parts to actually make work.” Ultimately, “Chicago” is expected to be a success due to the complete team effort and the elements that the story addresses. “I think its cynicism is kind of refreshing,” Sara Erfurth said. “Because this is a play about terrible people, and the people who should be punished in the end, aren’t. It’s an interesting commentary on society, and what we’re drawn

to. It’s an uncomfortable mirror, but not an inaccurate one. “It’s nice to have plays that discuss society and discuss corruption, and tackle bigger

issues in fun ways.” The show runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Soldotna High School auditorium.

What Others Say

Trade wars: Easy to start, hard to win Work toward a negotiated sale

contract for timber on about 13,000 acres of University of Alaska land in the Haines Borough has been delayed until spring “due to ongoing field work,” according to the Chilkat Valley News, which indicates the University officials had expected a contract to be signed by Oct. 25. The story in the Oct. 25 edition of the Hainesbased weekly newspaper notes that University liaison Morgan Howard said the information about the potential timber-sale buyer and contract details are confidential until the contract is established. Of course, interest within the Haines community about the potential sale is running high. The Haines Economic Development Corp. met about the timber sale on Oct. 19. HEDC Executive Director Margaret Friedenauer told the corporation’s board that,while it’s unknown whether the Haines timber sale is being affected by Chinese tariffs, tariffs had affected a proposed sale in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, according to the Chilkat Valley News. On Oct. 19, the Anchorage Daily News reported that “a log export deal that promised to bring up to $1 million a year to the foundering Mat-Su port is on hold indefinitely.” And what was a primary reason that the 24,000acre Mat-Su Borough timber sale has been suspended? Chinese tariffs on the logs that would be trucked to Port MacKenize and shipped on to China, according to the ADN. The Chinese tariffs have been imposed in response to the U.S. administration’s imposition of tariffs on certain types of Chinese goods, according to ADN, citing several reports. The Mat-Su timber deal involved a partnership of entities in China, New Zealand and Washington state, according to the Anchorage Daily News. The group had taken notice of the tariffs’ effect on market prices, said Eric Oien, who owns the Denali Timber Management entity that’s involved in the enterprise. “The market prices dropped very severely due to the tariffs, so our group all made the collective decision that we can no long(er) harvest this timber without incurring significant losses,” Oien told the Chilkat Valley News. So, the trade war tariff fight between the U.S. and China has affected one timber-harvest opportunity in Alaska directly, and looks to potentially affect another. In Haines, the potential effect is on a 10-year sale. Ten years of economic activity. Ten years of jobs. Who knows what the tariff landscape will look like when field work on the Haines sale contract resumes next spring. For the Mat-Su project, Oien told the Anchorage Daily News that there continues to be interest, passion and appreciation, but“we’re in a suspended position, meaning there’s an unexpected abrupt market disruption that we’re essentially waiting out.” We’ve been questioning the strategy of starting trade wars. Now that we appear to be in one, the implications have become clearer. Suspended positions and unexpected abrupt market disruptions affecting Alaska timber; a slew of rising costs elsewhere. What was once hypothetical or downplayed as inconsequential is becoming real. Carve outs (some types of Alaska salmon) and pay-offs (farm producers) are mitigating some of the damage, but raise the question of equal treatment across sectors. Now comes word on Monday that the U.S. is planning another round of tariffs against all remaining Chinese goods. We’ve been told that trade wars are “easy” to win. We’d like to find the dictionary that defines “easy” as anything close to what’s happening now.

Election season is just getting started Mornings are somewhat brighter, but it’s still a day of mourning. The switch from daylight saving to standard time is an admission that we can’t escape the predictable gloom of winter, with its icy weather. It might become less predictable once global warming fully wreaks its destruction — you know, the disaster that President Donald Trump and the corporate energy interests expediently choose to deny. On the other hand, the political season is nonstop, and the climate in that world inexorably deteriorates too. While we’ve wrapped up the midterms and the creators of those incessant TV ads and robo calls, along with the social media trolls, all will go into hibernation, do not think for a moment that the campaign is behind us. On Nov. 7, we seamlessly move from the midterms to the presidential race. Actually, there’s nothing seamless about the unseemly Donald Trump, who presumably will be up for a second four years. That “presumably” is based on the hypothesis that Trump will be around for seconds, that the Robert Mueller probe or any of the other investigations and lawsuits that swirl around him will not have revealed something so egregious that even he can’t survive in office. Or that he will not issue an executive fiat doing away with the elections. Assuming neither of those happens, just as our clocks were set an hour behind, we also can confidently look ahead to the near future. Don’t be surprised if rhetoric about

that caravan of Central Americans — the thousands of “dangerous” invaders who were on their way to overrun the United States, to trample over our borders — quickly evapoBob Franken rates. They were a handy foil to fool the bigots in his base, but they aren’t needed anymore. His followers’ fears won’t need to be exploited again until the runup to Nov. 3, 2020, which is when the polls reopen. Presto-change-O, the “caravan” will miraculously disappear. No more will we hear about the commander in chief ordering active-duty military forces to confront those migrant trespassers; no more will he bluster with implications that American forces will use their weapons to defend against any interloper throwing a rock. He’s already tippytoed back from that deadly demagoguery, perhaps after being warned by his advisers that he would be culpable for war crimes. Gone will be any talk about setting up massive tent cities to house any of those dangerous aliens waiting to press their pleas for asylum. And waiting and waiting. All of that will vanish, filed away until 2020. That is not to say that things will ease up with the Trumpster. Listen for what

Ross Perot (look him up, kiddies) called the “giant sucking sound” of prominent members of the administration hightailing it. Some will be pushed out — like Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and maybe Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. That probably would happen on a Saturday night (again, young’uns, check out “Saturday Night Massacre” on your search engine). Others will fly the coop. Defense Secretary Jim “Mad Dog” Mattis could bolt from the administration kennel. We shouldn’t be surprised if chief of staff John Kelly marches out at the first opportunity. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen could be nudged out the door, if for no other reason than she was brought in by Kelly. Then we have the ones who are under ominous legal clouds, the likes of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. He soon may be former Interior Secretary Zinke. The Democrats will scramble to find a candidate to rally around, and do it before they rip each other to shreds in their usual way. For both parties, the various political functionaries will be hard at work plotting their strategies. For Republicans, that will include operatives foreign and domestic. So do not for a minute believe there’s a break in the action. Like switching to standard time, look for the politicians to plunge our country further backward into darkness.

AP Politics

Democrats’ hopes high for taking House By STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The day of reckoning for American politics has nearly arrived. Voters on Tuesday will decide the $5 billion debate between President Donald Trump’s take-no-prisoner politics and the Democratic Party’s super-charged campaign to end the GOP’s hold on power in Washington and statehouses across the nation. There are indications that a modest “blue wave” of support may help Democrats seize control of at least one chamber of Congress. But two years after an election that proved polls and prognosticators wrong, nothing is certain on the eve of the first nationwide elections of the Trump presidency. “I don’t think there’s a Democrat in this country that doesn’t have a little angst left over from 2016 deep down,” said Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY’s List, which spent more than ever before — near-

Letters to the Editor Why I support Peter A. Micciche for Alaska Senator

For 13 years I was the Kenai Peninsula Fair manager and in that position, I got to work with a lot of different people and representatives. When you’re working for a nonprofit, you get to see a different side of the people you are working with than the general public sees. I met Peter during his very first campaign — he was running for senator for the — Ketchikan Daily News, Oct. 30 state of Alaska District O. He took the time

ly $60 million in all — to support Democratic women this campaign season. “Everything matters and everything’s at stake,” Schriock said. All 435 seats in the U.S. House are up for re-election. And 35 Senate seats are in play, as are almost 40 governorships and the balance of power in virtually every state legislature. While he is not on the ballot, Trump acknowledged on Monday that the 2018 midterms represent a referendum on his presidency. “In a certain way I am on the ballot,” Trump told supporters during a tele-town hall organized by his re-election campaign. “The press is very much considering it a referendum on me and us as a movement.” He also contended, as he does daily, that if the Democrats win they will work to roll back everything he’s tried to accomplish. “It’s all fragile,” he said. Should Democrats win control of the House, as strategists in both parties suggest is likely, they could derail Trump’s legislative agenda for the next two years. Perhaps

more important, they would win subpoena power to investigate Trump’s many personal and professional missteps. Tuesday’s elections will also test the strength of a Trump-era political realignment defined by evolving divisions among voters by race, gender and especially education. Trump’s Republican coalition is increasingly older, whiter, more male and less likely to have a college degree. Democrats are relying more upon women, people of color, young people and college graduates. The political realignment, if it solidifies, could re-shape U.S. politics for a generation. Just five years ago, the Republican National Committee reported that the GOP’s very survival depended upon attracting more minorities and women. Those voters have increasingly fled Trump’s Republican Party, turned off by his chaotic leadership style and xenophobic rhetoric. Blue-collar men, however, have embraced the unconventional president.

to help me understand what I could expect from our legislators. He made phone calls that connected me with different companies and their philanthropy departments where prior, I was just hitting a brick wall in my search for funds. He chose the Kenai Peninsula Fair as one of his nonprofit organizations to volunteer with so that we could be part of the ConocoPhillips matching program. As part of that volunteer service, he and his family came down and volunteered at a fair work day, and were so instrumental in motivating me. When you spend your whole life begging for money and volunteers, it’s super encouraging when a family

shows up and works as hard as the Micciches did. Since then, I have watched them pour countless hours into the many nonprofits on the Kenai Peninsula. He doesn’t just represent us in Juneau, he pours his heart and soul into helping make the Kenai Peninsula a better place for all of us. Peter understands our school budgeting issues. He’s put in the time. He’s done his research, and he’s proven that he stands for all of us here on the peninsula! For all of these reasons and so many more, I support Peter Micciche! — Lara McGinnis, Ninilchik

Djokovic gets Titans take down Cowboys back to No. 1 By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Pro Football Writer

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

Novak Djokovic returned to No. 1 on Monday after a twoyear absence and is assured of becoming the first man in the history of the ATP rankings to finish a season at the top spot after being outside the top 20 during that season. That’s because the man he overtook, Rafael Nadal, is done

for 2018. Nadal withdrew from the ATP Finals on Monday, citing an abdominal injury, and announced he was having arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle. Djokovic will be the ATP’s year-ending No. 1 for the fifth time, pulling even with Roger Federer and Jimmy Connors for the second most since the computer rankings began in 1973. Pete Sampras holds the record of six.

Area football players make impact at college By Staff report Peninsula Clarion

When Valley City State of Valley City, North Dakota, defeated host Presentation College in Aberdeen, South Dakota, by the score of 49-21 in NAIA football Saturday, Alaskans played a major role in the outcome. Two of those Alaskans come from Kenai Peninsula football programs — Tyler Howell of Soldotna and Michael Swoboda of Homer. Howell, playing for Valley City, had two catches for a sea-

son-high 69 yards. That included a 36-yard pass that he took to the 1-yard line, just missing a first career touchdown. Howell, 5-foot-11, 174 pounds, has 34 catches for 348 yards in 15 career games. He also has rushed five times for 43 yards. Swoboda, playing for Presentation, blocked a punt and recovered the ball in the first quarter. This came on the heels of being named the team’s special teams player of the week the week before. There were 17 total Alaskans on the roster of both teams.

Byard mimicked Terrell Owens’ mocking celebration on the star logo at the 50-yard line from 18 years ago, Marcus Mariota accounted for three touchdowns and the Titans spoiled Amari Cooper’s Dallas debut with a 28-14 victory on Monday night. The end-zone pick of Dak Prescott came after Mariota fumbled on the first two Tennessee possessions. Just

as T.O. did at old Texas Stadium 18 years ago, Byard ran to midfield, under the huge videoboard at spacious AT&T Stadium, and spread his arms. Owens did it twice in a blowout San Francisco win over a bad Dallas team that time. This win by the Titans (4-4) ended their three-game losing streak while handing the Cowboys (3-5) their first loss in four home games and making their road to the playoffs a difficult one. “It was huge,” Mariota said of Byard, while adding that he didn’t see the celebration. “The defense has done an unbelievable job throughout the year in building us up. They found ways to give us plays, to get turnovers.” The Cowboys looked like

the team headed for a blowout win, but led just 7-0 after Mariota’s early miscues because of Brett Maher’s missed 38yard field goal on the opening possession and Prescott’s ill-advised throw into double coverage. “That was the difference. Simple as that,” said Prescott, who lost a fumble at his 40yard line to set up Tennessee’s tiebreaking score in the third quarter. “Defense gives a turnover there. We’re up seven points and I go down there and try to force the ball and give it right back to them.” Cooper scored the first Dallas touchdown after DeMarcus Lawrence stripped the ball from Mariota . The two-time Pro Bowl receiver finished with five catches for 58 yards

after coming over from Oakland in a trade for a first-round pick during the open week. Given another chance when what would have been a third straight fumble to start the game was overturned by a review that showed Luke Stocker didn’t have the ball long enough on a catch, Mariota led an 80-yard drive capped by Derrick Henry’s 1-yard plunge for a 7-7 tie. Mariota converted two third-and-9s with passes and a shorter third down with a run on his first TD drive, setting the stage for the Titans to convert 11 of 14 third downs. The Cowboys fell flat in 15-year tight end Jason Witten’s first trip home since retiring to become lead analyst for “Monday Night Football.”

Harden leads Pacers past Rockets By The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — James Harden made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 34.8 seconds left and then closed out the Houston Rockets’ 98-94 victory over the Indiana Pacers by making four straight free throws Monday night. The reigning MVP scored 28 points as the Rockets won their third straight since starting 1-5. And the victories have been coming in large part because of an improving defense. It’s the fourth time in six games the usually high-scoring Rockets failed to hit the 100-point mark.
