Kenai Candidate man charged with murder KENAI (AP) — A 34-yearold Kenai man has been charged with first- and seconddegree murder in the death of his infant daughter. Kenai radio station KSRM reports Franklin Schrader is also charged with felony assault. Personnel at Central Peninsula Hospital on Oct. 19 told Kenai police that they were treating an injured 4-month-old girl. A medical flight transported her to Providence Hospital in Anchorage. She was declared brain dead and removed from life support on Oct. 23. Kenai Police Chief Dave Ross says an autopsy revealed injuries including abusive head trauma or “shaken baby syndrome.” Police say additional investigation including recovery of an in-home video surveillance system led to the arrest of Schrader. He’s jailed at Wildwood Pretrial Facility in Kenai. Online court records do not list an attorney for Schrader.

Congressman Don Young

Independent Alyse Galvin

Question: What would be your first priority as Congressman, should you be reelected? Answer: First priority is the same priority I’ve always had, which is listening to Alaskans and trying to solve their problems. That’s one of my main priorities. One of my other priorities is federal access to government land, and to have the ability for Alaskans to participate on federal land. Alaska Rep. Don Young. (JuSee YOUNG, page A7 neau Empire file photo)

Question: What would be your first priority as congresswoman, should you be elected? Answer: Health care. I would like to put out the fires in health care that I think we can do right away. Then, I would also like to work toward a bigger plan, so that every Alaskan and American is covered and can afford coverage for primary care and mental health care, at the very least. Alyse Galvin.

Begich, Dunleavy face off in final debate By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

The Alaska Permanent Fund wasn’t physically present, but it shared the stage with Alaska’s two leading candidates for governor in their final debate for the general election. Mark Begich and Mike Dunleavy used the hourlong event hosted by KTVA-TV to share their opinions on crime and on the fund. The candidates’ plans for the fund differ sharply and are some of the biggest differences between the two. “Alaska is at a turning point, a crossroads,” Dunleavy said. In the debate, he said he would seek to restore the traditional formula for distributing the Permanent Fund Dividend and would retroactively compensate Alaskans for prior cuts. Incumbent Gov. Bill Walker vetoed half the 2016 Permanent Fund Dividend, and the Alaska Legislature cut it in 2017 and 2018. Dunleavy said Thursday night that he will pay Alaskans that money using approximately $6 billion from

the Permanent Fund’s earnings reserve. While most of the $64 billion fund is constitutionally protected and cannot be spent without a vote of the people, $17 billion of its

total is in the earnings reserve account, an unprotected portion that can be spent with a majority vote in the Legislature. Dunleavy proposes taking

$6 billion from that unprotected earnings reserve and giving it to Alaskans. “I believe with $19 billion in the earnings reserve, we can pay out a full dividend,”

Dunleavy said, slightly misstating the amount of the earnings reserve. “What I hear here is a gimmick and a slogan,” Begich said. “It’s not a gimmick,” Dunleavy responded. The Dunleavy approach to the dividend has some side effects, Begich said. “Under Mike’s plan, he has no inflation proofing which means long-term problems for the sustainability of the plan,” the Democratic candidate said. The Permanent Fund’s board of trustees members have repeatedly emphasized the need for stability and a “rules-based approach” when it comes to spending from the Permanent Fund. The Alaska Legislature approved such an approach earlier this year, after Dunleavy’s resignation from the Alaska Senate. Begich has emphasized his support for a constitutional amendment that would require the state to pay a dividend, but at a lower amount than proposed by Dunleavy. Begich’s plan envisions splitting the Permanent Fund’s See GOV, page A2

Anchorage judge tosses youth climate lawsuit By KEVIN GULLUFSEN Juneau Empire

An Anchorage judge this week dismissed a lawsuit against the State of Alaska brought by youth alleging that the state’s contributions to climate change put their futures at risk. The lawsuit, Sinnok vs. State of Alaska, alleges that the state’s energy policy contributed to climate change, violating

fundamental rights to a stable climate system. The litigation is part of a landmark global attempt to force governments to implement climate recovery plans through the courts. The plaintiffs have 30 days to file an appeal, which would go to the Alaska Supreme Court. Superior Court Judge Gregory Miller granted the state’s motion to dismiss on Tuesday. Miller found that attorneys for

the plaintiffs, 16 Alaskans ages 5-20, failed to show what state policy directly contributed to climate change. “Plaintiffs’ general claims allege that the state has permitted oil and gas drilling, coal mining, and fossil fuel use, but Plaintiffs do not allege how this is evidence of the state breaching any legal duty,” Miller wrote. Plaintiff Tasha Elizarde, a See JUDGE, page A2

The Tongass is the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest. Ketchikan, near the southern end of the forest,

bills itself as the Rain Capital of Alaska and receives upward of 150 inches of rain a year. Tristan Fluharty, forest fire management officer for the Tongass, said warm, dry weather was behind the increase in 2018. “We really did spend a lot more time actually putting the fires out,” Fluharty said. The 32 fires together burned 63 acres. The largest fire, which occurred in fire in May and June near Berners Bay north of Juneau, burned more than 50 acres. A fire at Moser Bay near Ket-

chikan burned for several days and cost the Forest Service about $126,000 to fight. Most wildfires in the region are caused by humans, Fluharty said. Most of the 2018 fires were near the road system in Juneau, the region’s biggest population center. The Tongass’ annual budget for fire preparedness is about $1 million, which pays for salaries, equipment, inventory, travel and training. The 2018 fire suppression costs were not available.

By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

The Alaska Department of Public Safety has a plan and money to test thousands of shelved evidence kits from sexual assaults, and it’s now proposing a way to make sure none are ever shelved again. On Friday, the department released its annual report on the number of untested sexual assault evidence kits, colloquially known as rape kits. Statewide, the report lists 2,568 untested and shelved kits, with 7 percent

coming from the Juneau Police Department. That’s down from 3,484 shelved kits last year. While the state has enough money to test those shelved kits, it is worried about the problem recurring: The crime lab doesn’t have enough manpower to test every new kit that comes in its doors. To fix the issue, this year’s report recommends the state “create a dedicated sexual assault analysis team.” Doing so will cost an estimated $700,500 per year. That money will hire four See KITS, page A3

State expects worker shortage as energy projects ramp up ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska could soon face a labor shortage in some of its key industries, state workforce development officials said. Several major projects are gearing up in the oil, gas and construction sectors in the state, requiring thousands of workers in the next few years, the Alaska Journal of Commerce reported this week. But the state has lost more than 10,000 jobs since a local recession began in 2015, with the majority occurring in oil, gas and construction. “We’ve got this sort of

perfect storm of challenges where we have a downturn in our economy; we have an aging workforce, including oil and gas workers; we have stagnant wages in Alaska; and there’s a boom going on in the Lower 48, pulling a lot of our workers (away),” said Heidi Drygas, commissioner of the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development. While Alaska lost about 6,900 workers in the construction and oil and gas industries during the downturn, laborers in those sectors were at a premium in some areas of the continental U.S.

Drygas said she is already hearing from some union leaders that skilled laborers are becoming hard to find. Alaska needs to encourage young people to look at careers in those trades and invest in training programs, she said. “We have all this work going on on the North Slope. We have a boom in military construction in the Interior and other Interior build-out projects,” Drygas said. “We have an expansion of mining at Fort Knox and Kensington, Donlin Gold looks like it’s going to come online, and

they’re all happening at the same time.” Those jobs will be filled, but companies might recruit outside Alaska, state economist Karinne Wiebold said. Historically, more than 20 percent of nonresident workers have made up the state’s construction sector, she said. The oil and gas sector has had outsiders totaling nearly 30 percent of the workforce. “We have to invest in young Alaskans and in training, ensuring that we have Alaskans first in line to work in these jobs,” Drygas said.

Around Alaska Helicopter rescuers lifted injured pilot from Susitna crash ANCHORAGE — A critically injured pilot was lifted from an airplane that crashed along the Susitna River. The Anchorage Daily News reports Alaska Air National Guard pararescuers lowered from an HH60 Pave Hawk helicopter used crash axes and pry tools to extricate 50-year-old Shon Parker from the Piper PA-12 aircraft. He was flown to an Anchorage hospital. The crash occurred sometime before 5 p.m. Thursday on a sandbar near Mile 79 Parks Highway. Another pilot called in the crash. The injured pilot communicated sporadically with rescue officials through a cellphone. 176th Wing spokesman David Bedard says the helicopter hovered about 120 feet (37 meters) above the wreckage to reduce air turbulence. Rescuers fitted the Parker with a cervical collar and hoisted him into the helicopter. Other agencies also responded. — Associated Press

Old growth logging proposed in Tongass National Forest plan JUNEAU (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service has proposed cutting down a huge swath of old growth timber in southeast Alaska. The agency published its draft decision Friday on logging as much as 225 million board feet (53,000 cubic me-

ters) in Tongass National Forest on Prince of Wales Island, opening up a 45-day period for people to raise objections, KTOO Public Media in Juneau reported Thursday. While the project seems large, the harvests will be gradual, said Delilah Brigham, a

Forest Service project manager. “We’re looking at metering out timber harvest over 15 years,” Brigham said. “So yes, the project does offer a larger amount of old growth, but it’s not going to be harvested all right now within one year.”

The Forest Service said the project aims to improve forest ecosystem health as well as boost the local economy. “We had a variety of comments from different sized mills across the project area saying that their businesses rely on a steady supply of

timber,” Brigham said. Critics say the plan is a reversal of the agency’s 2016 decision to phase out old growth logging and that commercial logging can damage fish and wildlife habitat. “There’s no evidence that anything would be milled lo-

cally,” said Pat Lavin of the environmental group Defenders of Wildlife. “At least that hasn’t been the trend and isn’t what one would expect out of this sale either. Most of the product is exported, unfortunately, and that would probably continue.”

. . . Gov

of the Alaska Legislature. Begich’s proposal would require voter approval as well, because any constitutional amendment must be approved by voters before becoming effective. Dunleavy has said he supports a voter referendum on the use of the Permanent Fund for anything other than the dividend. Crime discussion

The first third of the debate focused on what each candidate will do to arrest Alaska’s ongoing crime wave. Dunleavy said he intends “to budget specifically for public safety,” by keeping courthouses open all day on Fridays (they currently close at noon to save money), fill vacant positions in the Alaska State Troopers and among prosecutors, and have “the right number” of correctional officers. Begich offered a similar approach, then poked at Dunleavy, saying the former state senator voted in favor of cuts to public safety positions that he now proposes to reverse.

Dunleavy responded that he offered an amendment to shift $50 million from the trans-Alaska natural gas pipeline project to pay for public safety positions and education, but the idea was rejected by the House of Representatives. Fisheries and Ballot Measure 1 Toward the end of the debate, Begich used an opportunity to question Dunleavy about his lack of support for Ballot Measure 1. If the Republican doesn’t support that measure to bolster Alaska’s fisheries, what does he intend to do to combat fisheries declining because of warming,

acidifying ocean waters? There’s little the state can do on its own, Dunleavy said. “Alaska is not a smokestack industry state. We contribute very little to the pollution that some attribute to global warming,” he said. He added that he would have the state work with the federal government and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to investigate what can be done in the high seas, particularly with regard to stopping the interception of Alaska fish by foreign vessels. Dunleavy asked Begich why he supports Ballot Measure 1, given that it likely will have some impacts on the ability of Alaska’s mining, drilling, logging and construction industries to do their work. “The last thing we need is more regulations that’s going to kill jobs and investment,” Dunleavy said. “I’m as pro-development

as possible,” Begich said, adding that he supports the measure because it gives communities the ability to comment on projects that affect waters near them. “This should have been dealt with in the Legislature. It wasn’t,” Begich said. He said he also believes that if the measure passes, he is the best person to write the regulations to enforce it in a way that balances the requests of supporters and the needs of industry. Upcoming events Libertarian candidate Billy Toien did not participate in the debate. Begich is scheduled to appear in Juneau on Friday, with a meet-and-greet appearance expected at the Sacred Grounds Café at noon. Dunleavy is scheduled to appear at a rally in Wasilla on Friday, followed by an event in Fairbanks on Saturday and another rally in Anchorage on Sunday.

Alaska’s de- umn for the Empire.) “If you look at everything that our state has done in the past, it has been to pursue more and more oil development and things like that. To say that we don’t have an energy policy per se is not consistent with the actions that our state has committed,” Elizarde said. Juliana v. United States, the federal counterpart to Sinnok vs. Alaska, currently sits in limbo at the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts granted a delay in proceedings over a week ago at the behest of the Trump administration. Esau Sinnok, a 20-year-old college student and the lawsuit’s namesake plaintiff, said in a prepared release that “the consequences of Alaska’s energy policy on climate change are already affecting us and threatening our lives and futures. We do not have time to waste on appeals.” The Sinnok case started in October of last year, after the Department of Environmental Conservation denied a climate change rulemaking petition the youths filed in August, 2017. Andrew Welle, a staff attorney with nonprofit Our Children’s Trust, represented the youth. Attorney Seth Beausang defended the state.

Charles William Chezik 1953-2018

Soldotna resident, Mr. Charles William Chezik, 65, passed away Friday, Oct. 26, 2018, of natural causes at his home in Soldotna, Alaska. Charles (Chuck) was born on June 12, 1953 in Richland Center, Wisconsin. He graduated from Riverdale High School in 1971, as Salutatorian and Senior Class President. He was active in madrigal and choir, served as the photographer of the high school yearbook, and received many outstanding forensics speaking awards. Charles attended 1 year of college at the University of Wisconsin - Platteville. He then moved to Alaska in 1978 and attended Kenai Peninsula College, receiving his Degree in Petroleum Process Technology. He lived in Sterling before moving to Soldotna, where he has lived ever since. Charles fished commercially from 1975 to 2015, and worked for ISCO as a roustabout. He continued his oil field career, working for Unocal and Chevron until he retired in 2009. He was a member, in good standing, of the Soldotna Elks Lodge and achieved the status of Past Exalted Ruler. (P.E.R.) He’s preceded in death by his parents, Gail E. (Pasold) Chezik and Francis William (Bill) Chezik. He is survived by his sons Christopher William, Matthew John and Jeremy Michael, all of Soldotna AK; brothers Nick (Leanne) Chezik of Blue River, WI and Ted (Judy) Chezik of Wisconsin Dells, WI; sisters Ava Eubanks of Prarie du Sac, WI, Amy (Patrick) O’Herrin of Friendship, WI, and Ella Chezik of Soldotna, AK; Lisa Johns (soon to be daughter in law) and grandchildren, Keelin and Connor of Soldotna AK, as well as 4 nieces and 6 nephews. The family wrote, “Charles was an honest and upright man who put his family first. He believed in hard work and would not hesitate to help anyone in need. His character was truly one of a kind, with the mold being broken after he was born. He loved hunting, fishing, current events, doing crossword puzzles and of course, was a keen and avid fan of the Green Bay Packers. He loved the time he was able to spend with his family, and truly enjoyed being “Papa Chuck” to his grandkids. He was loved by many, and will be missed dearly.” A “Celebration of Chucks Life” will be held on Saturday, November 10th, 2018, at 6:00pm, at the Soldotna Elks Lodge in Soldotna. Memorial donations may be made, in memory of Charles William Chezik, to The Soldotna Elks Lodge, 44640 Parkway Ave – Soldotna, AK 99669. Arrangements made by Peninsula Memorial Chapel & Crematory.

new forensic scientists and pay for the chemicals and equipment they need to do the job. The request has been submitted from the department to the governor’s office and could be part of the governor’s budget request next month. If it appears in that request, the Alaska Legislature would have the final say. Kits consist of physical evidence taken from the body of a sexual assault victim following an assault. Kits may go untested for a variety of reasons, such as when the identity of a perpetrator is already known and doesn’t need to be established by DNA. In recent years, Alaska and other states have taken greater interest in testing all kits: As the theory goes, evidence from untested kits could be used to identify serial rapists or link a perpetrator in a known case to one in an unknown case. In 2016, under instructions from Gov. Bill Walker, the Department of Public Safety applied for (and received) a $1.5 million grant to test kits in the custody of the Alaska State Troopers. Five hundred and seventy-seven of those have been sent to a private lab for testing. The state has also used federal grant money to hire

. . . Fire Continued from page A1

The busy season in southeast Alaska stood out in contrast to the rest of the state. The state usually sees about 500 wildfires, said Tim Mowry of the state Division of Forestry. Lightning starts many of the fires in interior Alaska forests. In 2004, 706 fires burned a record 6.7 million acres or 10,465 square miles. However, in 2018, the state saw just 360 fires that burned 411,591 acres or 644 square miles.

a cold-case investigator to examine the results of the testing and a prosecutor to deal with the cases that result from those investigations. The grant-funded program only dealt with kits in the custody of the state, not those in the hands of the state’s many municipal police departments. In 2017, the Alaska Legislature passed Senate Bill 55, which required the state to inventory all untested kits statewide. That report revealed 3,484, mostly in the custody of the Anchorage Police Department. The same report estimated it would cost between $2.2 million and $3 million to test all of those kits. In response, the Alaska Legislature earlier this year appropriated $2.75 million to cover testing. Again, the state crime lab lacks the resources to process those kits atop its normal work, so they are being sent to a private lab on the East Coast for testing. Testing all of the shelved kits is expected to take several years. While the first results will arrive by March 2019, the last will not come until 2021. While that grant will take care of all shelved kits (except for a handful of rare instances), the crime lab is still receiving more kits than it can handle in a given year, and not all new kits are earmarked for testing. Given enough time, the problem of shelved kits will return.

“In terms of Alaska fire years, it was well below average,” Mowry said. The southeast Alaska fire season occurred against a backdrop of worsening wildfires in the Lower 48. From 1985 to 2017, the total acreage burned in the U.S. each year has fluctuated but increased on average. Over those 22 years, federal fire suppression spending has increased tenfold to nearly $3 billion, according to data from the National Interagency Fire Center. Fluharty has seen no clear evidence pointing toward an acceleration or lengthening of the fire season in southeast Alaska.

What Others Say

Ending birthright citizenship won’t solve immigation problems President Trump’s assertion on Tuesday that he could end birthright citizenship via an executive order likely is another attempt to stir up immigration as a campaign issue ahead of next week’s midterm election. It’s a bad and almost certainly unconstitutional idea, and had the matter stopped there, it would hardly merit serious discussion. Then, a few hours later in a series of tweets, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he would introduce legislation “along the same lines” as Mr. Trump’s proposed executive order. It’s not the first time Mr. Graham, long an advocate of immigration reform, has suggested such a change. But he now has a president open to the idea. Executive orders have been used inappropriately in the past to implement sweeping changes in immigration policy, and presidents from both parties have used the tactic in other sometimes dubious ways. But birthright citizenship comes straight out of the Constitution, and allowing the president to alter that document unilaterally would be a serious assault on democracy. The 14th Amendment states that, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” There’s some room for debate about whether or not that applies to people living illegally in the United States. But presuming that the rest of the Constitution applies to all people on U.S. soil — legally present or not, citizen or foreigner — it’s clear enough that birthright citizenship would as well. Mr. Graham is on firmer legal ground than Mr. Trump by calling for legislation, presumably to amend the Constitution. But unless Republicans pick up significantly larger majorities in both the House and Senate next Tuesday, getting two-thirds of both chambers to vote for an end to birthright citizenship seems exceedingly unlikely. That’s probably for the best. On the whole, birthright citizenship is a boon for the United States rather than a burden. We need young Americans to grow up into our future leaders, to drive economic growth, to invent and create and innovate. It’s perfectly reasonable to be wary of pregnant women traveling to the United States just to have a baby here, but there are less draconian ways to prevent that, like tightening border security. It’s also true that illegal immigrants commonly have children who are granted U.S. citizenship. Over the past several years, anywhere between 5 and 10 percent of all births in the United States have been to undocumented parents, according to the Pew Research Center. But denying citizenship to those children probably wouldn’t encourage their parents to leave. Instead, it would create a permanent underclass of effectively nation-less people who grow up in the United States but face higher barriers to living a productive, prosperous life — all through no fault of their own. Generally, the goal of immigration reform is to bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows and put them on a path toward legality, not to drive them further underground. Illegal immigrant families do impose costs on taxpayers, particularly when their kids are citizens who are eligible for a broader range of social and safety net programs. But they also put billions of dollars into the economy each year, providing a significant net benefit by most measures. Sen. Graham and President Trump are right that the United States desperately needs to reform its immigration laws and border security policies to protect national security and a lawful society. There is no question about that. But undoing birthright citizenship could actually undermine those efforts. Besides, most meaningful immigration reforms wouldn’t require changing the Constitution. We’d be much better off starting with those.

Trump should put away his pen and phone

All of a sudden, we’re all originalists and believers in the sagacity and inviolate handiwork of long-ago white males. President Donald Trump’s trial balloon about changing birthright citizenship via executive order has brought a hail of denunciations. He wants, the critics say, to change the Constitution under his own power, in the service of the allegedly racist goal of excluding the children of illegal immigrants from U.S. citizenship. Contrary to the chest-beating, there’s a serious case that the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to anyone born here who is “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States, is ambiguous on whether the provision applies to illegal immigrants. And, as a policy, nearly unlimited birthright citizenship has obvious downsides. But the executive order the president is contemplating is a bad idea and should go in whatever circular filing cabinet is reserved for misbegotten inspirations that he’s eventually talked out of. The argument about the 14th Amendment is whether it, with the exception of diplomats and foreign armies, is meant to give citizenship to the children of anyone here, or whether it requires some deeper allegiance to the United States. The case for the latter, more limited interpretation has some formidable advocates, but the expansive view has more supporters and also long-standing practice on its side. It’d certainly be instructive to have the Supreme Court weigh in, since the question of illegal immigrants hasn’t been di-

rectly addressed by the courts, and no one who debated and adopted the 14th Amendment contemplated a large-scale influx of undocumented immigrants, or the rise of birth tourism. Rich Lowry Illegal immigrants, of course, come here in open defiance of our laws and stay by continually violating our laws. They are subject to our jurisdiction, but do everything they can to evade it, and aren’t fully subject to it — it wouldn’t make any sense, for instance, to try an illegal immigrant for treason. As a policy matter, it is perverse that illegal immigrants win one of the world’s great lotteries through their lawbreaking, by getting citizenship for their children. So it’s understandable that Trump opposes the status quo, and is frustrated by it. But that doesn’t mean he should issue an executive order. Despite the cottage industry of analysis of him as a budding Hitler, Trump has so far avoided the unilateral excesses of President Barack Obama. By and large, his executive orders and regulations have been devoted to reversing Obama’s. It’s been a tit-for-tat unilateralism. A birthright order would be different. Congress has legislated in this area and codified the language of the 14th Amendment. It hasn’t acted to change

the interpretation of birthright citizenship, even though it had ample opportunity to do so across the decades. (An effort spearheaded by Harry Reid in the 1990s never went anywhere.) So if Trump wants to test the limits of birthright citizenship, he really needs Congress to move, which it won’t. Desperation to change the rules on immigration even though Congress wouldn’t act is what made Obama rewrite the immigration laws on his own. Trump should resist the same temptation. Regardless, if the president goes down this route, he will likely get swamped in the courts. There would be an immediate injunction. A case might not even make it to the Supreme Court, and the courts wouldn’t even have to speak to the underlying issue of birthright citizenship — they could just rule that the executive order exceeds the president’s authority. Even such a limited decision would be widely interpreted as an affirmation of the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The best way to combat illegal immigration is an E-Verify system that requires employers to ascertain whether their employees are legal. It doesn’t have the emotive power of Trump’s other immigration priorities — the wall, tent cities and troops at the border, and now this — but it is more achievable and would be more effective. Meanwhile, he should put his pen and phone away. Rich Lowry can be reached via email comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

High stakes in midterm elections By ZEKE MILLER and CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has been acting like a candidate on the ballot this week, staging daily double-header rallies and blasting out ads for Republicans up for election on Tuesday. Given the stakes for his presidency, he might as well be. A knot of investigations. Partisan gridlock. A warning shot for his re-election bid. Trump faces potentially debilitating fallout should Republicans lose control of one or both chambers in Congress, ending two years of GOP hegemony in Washington. A White House that has struggled to stay on course under favorable circumstances would be tested in dramatic ways. A president who often battles his own party, would face a far less forgiving opposition. On the flip side, if Republicans maintain control of the House and Senate, that’s note only a victory for the GOP, but a validation of Trump’s brand of politics and his unconventional presidency. That result, considered less likely even within the White House, would embolden the president as he launches his own re-election bid. White House aides insist the president doesn’t spend much time contemplating defeat, but he has begun to try to calibrate expectations. He has focused on the competitive Senate races the final days of his scorchedearth campaign blitz, and has distanced himself from blame should Republicans lose the House. If that happens, he intends to claim victory, arguing his efforts on the campaign trail narrowed GOP losses and helped them hold the Senate, according to a person familiar with Trump’s thinking who asked for anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss White House conversations by name. Throughout the campaign, Trump has — The Post and Courier, Oct. 31 been tested out other explanations — point-

ing to historical headwinds for the party of an incumbent president and complaining about a rash of GOP retirements this year. He told the AP last month that he won’t bear any responsibility should Democrats take over. At a rally in West Virginia Friday a defiant Trump brushed off the prospect of a Democratic House takeover. “It could happen,” he said, adding “don’t worry about it. I’ll just figure it out.” Meanwhile his staff has begun preparations to deal with a flood of subpoenas that could arrive next year from Democrat-controlled committees and the White House counsel’s office has been trying to attract seasoned lawyers to field oversight inquiries. Should they take the House, Democrats are already plotting to reopen the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. Other committees are plotting aggressive oversight of Trump’s administration and his web of business interests. Some Democrats are looking at using the House Ways and Means Committee to obtain copies of the president’s tax returns after he broke with decades of tradition and withheld them from public scrutiny during his campaign for the White House. A slim Republican majority in the House would also present challenges, likely inflaming simmering intraparty disputes. First among them would be a potentially bitter leadership fight in the House to replace retiring Speaker Paul Ryan. But a narrowed majority would also exacerbate divisions over policy — and continued unified control could leave the GOP facing the blame for gridlock. “Clearly there’s an awful lot on the line in terms of the legislative agenda,” said Republican consultant Josh Holmes. “The prospect of a Democratic controlled House or Senate puts a serious wrinkle in getting anything through Congress.” Some in the White House think losing to Democrats might actually be preferable.

They view Democrats eagerness to investigate the president as a blessing in disguise in the run-up to 2020. They view House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi as a potent foil for Trump, and believe they can tag the party responsibility for Washington dysfunction. Ari Fleischer, George W. Bush’s press secretary, said Democratic control of the House “has both peril and promise for the president.” “The peril is subpoenas, investigations, legal bills and headaches,” he said. “The promise is Trump will have an easy foil to run against: Pelosi and Democratic leadership.” White House aides have discussed floating popular legislative issues, such as infrastructure, to tempt Democrats and test the unity of the Democratic opposition. While keeping the House remained an uphill battle for the GOP, the in the closing days of the campaign, Trump and Republicans have tried to sell voters on the possibilities of another two years of GOP control. They promised hardline immigration policies and more tax cuts, arguing that Democrats would erase two years of progress. In the closing weeks of the midterms, Trump has unleashed a no-holds-barred effort to boost Republicans as he dipped into the same undercurrents of unease that defined his 2016 campaign. From stoking fears about illegal immigration to warning of economic collapse if Democrats are victorious. But a House loss will prompt GOP handwringing about the divides in the party and the struggles for moderate Republicans to run in the Trump, as well as raise questions about whether the Democratic gains point to a path for presidential hopefuls in 2020. Democratic consultant Jim Manley said Tuesday may reveal if Democrats are having any success recapturing white working class voters in the Midwest who backed Trump in 2016. “Trump is helping. He’s becoming more and more radioactive,” Manley said. “There’s a chance to try and win them back over.”

Yoga studio shooter posted racist, misogynistic videos By GARY FINEOUT Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A brooding military veteran and former teacher who railed at women and blacks in a series of poorly lit videos shot two women to death and wounded five other people at a Florida yoga studio before killing himself. The Friday evening shooting at a busy upscale shopping plaza jolted the state capital and police said they were still searching for a motive that led to the deaths of a Florida State University student and a wellknown local doctor who was a member of the school faculty. But details about 40-yearold Scott Paul Beierle began to emerge in the hours after, including that he had once been banned from FSU’s campus and had been arrested twice for grabbing women even though the charges were ultimately dropped. Beierle, who had moved to the central Florida town of Deltona after getting a graduate degree from FSU, also appear to post a series of videos on YouTube in 2014 where he called women “whores” if they dated black men, said many black women were “disgusting” and described himself as a misogynist. He said promiscuous women deserved to be crucified and he suggested putting up land mines to keep people from crossing into the U.S. from Mexico. The existence

of the videos was first reported by BuzzFeed. Tallahassee police say Beierle shot six people and pistolwhipped another after walking into the yoga studio that sits on the second floor of a shopping center located near the city’s fashionable midtown neighborhoods. Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo said some in the studio showed courage by trying to stop him. Witnesses at the shopping center described how people who had been in the studio ran away,

seeking shelter in nearby bars and restaurants as shots rang out. Police responded within a few minutes, but by then Beirele had fatally shot himself, leaving police to search for a motive and a community to wonder what prompted the violence. “It’s a place that brings me joy and peace, and I think it’s ruined,” said Katie Bohnett, an instructor at the yoga studio who skipped her normal Friday practice to meet a friend for dinner. “This monster ruined it.” Police said Beierle acted

alone but they were still looking into what prompted the shooting. He was originally from New York, had served in the military and once was a teacher in Maryland. After his military service, he wound up attending FSU. Kristi Malone, who had a graduate class with Beierle, said in a Facebook message that she did not interact with him outside of the classroom because of “his odd leering, inappropriate comments and general demeanor.”

About 100 gather for ‘healing service’ outside synagogue By RAMESH SANTANAM Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Parents clutched their children, couples leaned on each other and bystanders wept as about 100 people gathered in a steady drizzle outside the desecrated Tree of Life synagogue for what a former rabbi called a healing service one week after the worst attack targeting Jews in U.S. history. Rabbi Chuck Diamond led a service of prayers, songs and poetry and reminisced about some of the worshippers killed, as Show Up For Shabbat services honoring the 11 dead and six wounded were held at synagogues across the United States. “I almost expected Cecil to greet me this morning,” Diamond said of Cecil Rosenthal, 59, killed along with his brother, David, 54, in the Oct. 27 shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in the city’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood.

Diamond called the victims “angels given to us, full of love and life.” In the past week, people told him of weddings, bar mitzvahs and other ceremonies they’ve held at the synagogue. “This is a place, a building that has stood for joy, but now it is for-

ever stained,” Diamond said. But the shooting “cannot overshadow (that) this building is and will be into the future a place of joy.” He said he took great comfort in seeing people of all faiths come together since the shooting and for his prayer vig-

il on Saturday. “It’s important to come and take care of your community when something like this happens. I want to be in solidarity,” said Andrew Allison, who attended Saturday’s service. Before coming to the outdoor service, Steve Irwin, 59, and a friend stopped by a Squirrel Hill coffee shop. “When we went to pay, we were told all the coffee was paid for by the Sandy Hook community,” referring to Newtown, Conn., where a gunman killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.? “It brought tears to my eyes,” Irwin said, standing outside Tree of Life on Saturday with his dog. “It shows how incumbent it is upon us to pay it forward to the next community this happens, which we hope never happens, but we know it will happen.” The outdoor service “gives you a sense of normalcy, which is impossible to find right now,” he said.

Man in Trump video was jailed, released under Joe Arpaio By JACQUES BILLEAUD Associated Press

PHOENIX — A political ad from President Donald Trump that shows a Mexican immigrant bragging about killing police officers has put the spotlight back on noted immigration hard-liner Joe Arpaio, who detained and released the man in the video years ago. The former six-term sheriff of metro Phoenix says he’s being unfairly blamed for releasing the immigrant depicted in the video that has stoked immigration anxieties in the days leading up to the midterm elections. The ad centers on Luis Bracamontes, who was convicted of murder in the 2014 shooting deaths of two sheriff’s deputies in California while he was in the United States illegally.

Trump blames Democrats for weak laws that allowed the man to keep coming across the border, even though he was deported during the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Bracamontes was also incarcerated four times in jails run by Arpaio, a Republican who is known for his crackdowns on illegal immigration and being the first person to receive a pardon from Trump. He campaigned for Trump on several occasions during the presidential campaign but lost his bid for a seventh term in 2016 amid a swirl of legal troubles. Arpaio said Friday that he hasn’t seen the ad and didn’t remember the details of the cases. But he said his jail officers likely acted properly by contacting federal immigration authorities to pick up Bra-

camontes, because that was the procedure in the jails at the time when inmates completed their sentences. He pinned the blame on federal immigration authorities for dropping the ball. “I would never release an illegal,” Arpaio said. “I think my reputation has shown show that for many, many, many years.” Bracamontes used several aliases, making it hard to pinpoint his immigration record. California authorities say Bracamontes was deported four times before he killed Sacramento County sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer County sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Jr. Bracamontes was deported at least once after doing time in Arpaio’s jails in drug cases from 1996 through 2001, according to court records in Arizona. Arpaio said at that time, his office had a system of notifying

federal authorities about immigrants in the jail through a teletype system. Both Democrats and Republicans have denounced the ad, which links Bracamontes’ crimes to a caravan of Central American migrants moving through Mexico, as a racist campaign tactic. Bracamontes was deported in 1997, when Clinton was in office, according to court records in Arizona. He was arrested for marijuana possession in March 2001 during Bush’s administration. It’s unclear when he returned to the United States illegally before that arrest. Comparisons have been drawn between the ad and the infamous “Willie Horton” commercial in the 1988 presidential race about a black man who raped a woman while out of prison on a weekend furlough.

Parkland survivors vote for 1st time By KELLI KENNEDY and MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press

PARKLAND, Fla. — Nine months after 17 classmates and teachers were gunned down at their Florida school, Parkland students are finally facing the moment they’ve been leading up to with marches, school walkouts and voter-registration events throughout the country: their first Election Day. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student activists set their sights on the 4 million U.S. citizens turning 18 this year. They’re hoping to counteract the voter apathy that’s especially prevalent among the youth during midterm elections. Many of the activists, now household names like David Hogg, postponed college plans to mobilize young voters. Many of them support gun reform, in the name of their fallen classmates. “It is kind of the culmination of everything we’ve been working for,” said senior Jaclyn Corin, one of the founders of the March For Our Lives group. “This is truly the moment that young people are going to make the difference in this country.” Corin, who voted along with her dad at an early polling site on her 18th birthday, visited a half-dozen cities in just a handful of days last week, getting up at 3 a.m. to board planes. It has been a whirlwind for the students, with celebrity support from Oprah to Kim Kardashian, a Time magazine cover, late night TV spots and book deals — but all of it misses their main target unless it motivates students to cast ballots by the end of Tuesday. At a University of Central Florida event during the final week of election campaigning, Stoneman Douglas graduate

and current UCF student Bradley Thornton escorted fellow students to the campus’ early voting site. UCF student Tiffany McKelton said she wouldn’t have voted if the Parkland activists hadn’t shown up on campus. “I’ve never voted in a primary election. I actually did it because of them,” said McKelton, a psychology major from West Palm Beach. In the past months they’ve boarded countless buses and planes, passed out T shirts, and hosted BBQs and dance parties on college campuses around the U.S. Thornton said talking things through often does the trick. “I can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had that were like, ‘Ah, I’m not interested’ … and through just a simple, really nice cordial conversation, they get this magical inspiration to vote,” Thornton said. Corin said she’s encountered plenty of voter apathy along the way. The students often note that voter turnout in the last midterm elections was the lowest since World War II. “It’s really about tying it back to gun violence or tying it back to immigration or whatever that person is passionate about,” Corin said. “I’ve used that tactic so many times and it has actually worked.” It remains to be seen what role the youth vote will play in this year’s midterms. The 30-and-under crowd is more likely to vote in this year’s midterms than in the past. Forty percent say they’ll vote, compared to just 26 percent in 2014, according to a new poll by Institute of Politics at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. They’re being pushed, in part, by a strong disapproval of President Donald Trump.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Nov. 4, the 308th day of 2018. There are 57 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 4, 1979, the Iran hostage crisis began as militants stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran, seizing its occupants; for some of them, it was the start of 444 days of captivity. On this date: In 1879, humorist Will Rogers was born in Oologah, Oklahoma. In 1922, the entrance to King Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered in Egypt. In 1939, the United States modified its neutrality stance in World War II, allowing “cash and carry” purchases of arms by belligerents, a policy favoring Britain and France. In 1942, during World War II, Axis forces retreated from El Alamein in North Africa in a major victory for British forces commanded by Lt. Gen. Bernard Montgomery. In 1956, Soviet troops moved in to crush the Hungarian Revolution. In 1964, comedian Lenny Bruce was convicted by a three-judge panel in New York of obscenity charges stemming from his performances at the Cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village. (Bruce received a posthumous pardon in 2003 from New York Gov. George Pataki.) In 1980, Republican Ronald Reagan won the White House as he defeated President Jimmy Carter by a strong margin. In 1985, to the shock and dismay of U-S officials, Soviet defector Vitaly Yurchenko announced he was returning to the Soviet Union, charging he had been kidnapped by the C-I-A. In 1991, Ronald Reagan opened his presidential library in Simi Valley, California; attending were President George H.W. Bush and former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Gerald R. Ford and Richard Nixon -- the first-ever gathering of five past and present U.S. chief executives. In 1995, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a right-wing Israeli minutes after attending a festive peace rally. In 2001, Hurricane Michelle roared across Cuba, forcing the government to shut down power for much of the communist island and evacuate 750,000 people. The Arizona Diamondbacks won their first World Series by beating the New York Yankees 3-2 in Game 7. In 2007, King Tutankhamen’s face was unveiled for the first time to the public more than 3,000 years after the pharaoh was buried in his Egyptian tomb. Ten years ago: Democrat Barack Obama was elected the first black president of the United States, defeating Republican John McCain. California voters approved Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriage, overturning a state Supreme Court decision that gave gay couples the right to wed just months earlier. Author Michael Crichton (KRY’-tuhn) died in Los Angeles at age 66. Five years ago: In Tehran’s largest anti-U.S. rally in years, tens of thousands of demonstrators joined in chants of “death to America” as hard-liners directed a major show of resolve against President Hassan Rouhani’s outreach to Washington. One year ago: China’s rubber-stamp legislature made it a criminal offense to disrespect the country’s national anthem, punishable by up to three years in prison; the move came amid rising nationalist appeals from the ruling Communist Party. Saudi Arabian authorities began a wave of arrests of dozens of the country’s most powerful princes, military officers, businessmen and government ministers in a purported anti-corruption sweep; they included potential rivals or critics of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Loretta Swit is 81. Rhythm-andblues singer Harry Elston (Friends of Distinction) is 80. Blues singer Delbert McClinton is 78. Former first lady Laura Bush is 72.

World Turkey: Highest level of Saudi govt ordered writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slaying By SUZAN FRASER Associated Press

ANKARA, Turkey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The order to kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi came from the highest level of the Saudi government, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday, adding that the international community had the responsibility to â&#x20AC;&#x153;reveal the puppet mastersâ&#x20AC;? behind the slaying. In an op-ed in The Washington Post, Erdogan said he did not believe that Saudi King Salman had ordered the killing of Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate on Oct. 2. He said Turkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close ties to Saudi Arabia did not mean that Turkey could turn a blind eye to the killing of the journalist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that the order to kill Khashoggi came from the highest levels of the Saudi government,â&#x20AC;? Erdogan said. Erdogan wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As responsible members of the international community, we must reveal the identities of the puppet masters behind Khashoggiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing and discover those in whom Saudi officials â&#x20AC;&#x201D;still trying to cover up the murder â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have placed their trust.â&#x20AC;?

UN convoy reaches Syria desert camp near Jordan border

BEIRUT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A convoy of 78 trucks carrying lifesaving assistance reached a remote camp for the displaced on Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s border with Jordan on Saturday, where tens of thousands of people are stranded in the desert amid dwindling supplies.

The situation sharply deteriorated after the Syrian government blocked supply routes last month following a botched reconciliation deal with rebel groups in the area.

N. Korea threatens to resume nuke development over sanctions By KIM TONG-HYUNG Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Korea has warned it could revive a state policy aimed at strengthening its nuclear arsenal if the United States does not lift economic sanctions against the country. The statement released by the Foreign Ministry on Friday evening said North Korea could

bring back its â&#x20AC;&#x153;pyongjinâ&#x20AC;? policy of simultaneously advancing its nuclear force and economic development if the United States doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change its stance. The North sopped short of threatening to abandon ongoing nuclear negotiations with Washington. Still, it accused Washington of derailing commitments made by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump at their June

summit in Singapore to work toward a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. It was the first time the North said it could potentially resume weapons tests and other development activities since Kim signaled a new state policy in April. In an interview with Fox Newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sean Hannity on Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he plans to talk next week with his North

Pacific archipelago votes on independence from France NOUMEA, New Caledonia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Voters in New Caledonia are deciding whether the French territory in the South Pacific should break free from the European country that claimed it in the mid-19th century. The polls opened Sunday morning in a referendum thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a milestone in the process of the archipelagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-decade-long decolonization â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that will help define New Caledoniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future as an independent country or as a continuing part of France. More than 174,000 registered voters are invited to answer the question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you want New Caledonia to gain full sovereignty and become independent?â&#x20AC;? Observers expect a majority to favor remaining a part of France, based on opinion polls and previous election results.

Polling stations open at 8 a.m. (10 p.m. Saturday in mainland France; 9 p.m. GMT) and close 10 hours later. Results are expected later Sunday. New Caledonia, a cluster of islands, is home to about 270,000 people. They include the native Kanaks, who represent about 40 percent of the population, people of European descent (about 27 percent) and others from Asian countries and Pacific islands. It relies on France for defense, law enforcement, foreign affairs, justice and education, yet has a large degree of autonomy. New Caledonia receives about 1.3 billion euros ($1.5 billion) in French state subsidies every year, and many fear the economy would suffer if ties are severed. The referendum is the re-

sult of a process that started 30 years ago to end years of violence between supporters and opponents of separating from France. The violence, which overall claimed more than 70 lives, prompted a 1988 deal between rival loyalist and pro-independence factions. Another agreement a decade later included plans for an independence referendum. Most Kanaks have tended to back independence, while most descendants of European settlers have favored keeping the French connection. To ensure security during the vote, additional police were sent to New Caledonia. Authorities also banned the carrying of firearms and alcohol sales immediately before and during the vote.

Q: With more and more school and mass shootings being reported in recent years, how do you think America can keep their schools safe? A: There are numerous ways to do it. Number one is awareness. I’m not above having security come into the schools and maintain — like the airports. If we can keep our airports safe, we ought to be able to keep our schools safe. I believe that’s the appropriate way to do it. Q: Reproductive health continues to dominate the Congressional conversation, with some people hoping to overturn Roe vs.Wade and defund Planned Parenthood. Where do you stand on these issues? A: Keep in mind, Congress will not do that. It’s going to take the Congress and the numbers are not there. I am pro-life and always have been pro-life. That decision would be made by an act of Congress and at that time probably challenged and go before the Supreme Court and the decision will be made by the Justices. Q: Many states have legalized marijuana in the last few years, including Alaska. Canada just legalized cannabis on a national level. How do you see the future of recreational cannabis in this country, in this state?

Q: With more and more school and mass shootings being reported in recent years, how do you think America can keep their school’s safe? A: I agree that we’re in a time right now where parents are afraid to send their kids to school and kids are frightened. It’s not the kind of environment I would want for anyone who is about to learn. It’s very difficult for people to learn when they are in fear. Certainly, arming teachers is not the answer. I firmly believe that we need to retain our Second Amendment rights. In Alaska, this is a really important issue to so many, because of our need to bring protein to the table and also to protect it for sport. So keeping that in place, I think there are some things that we can do to create space for us to feel safer. One is background checks. We know 21 states already have that in place. I want to make sure we’re part of that. Then, I would like to also fully support the Centers for Disease Control to see what exactly is best in reducing deaths by firearms. For example in Alaska, more than half of our firearm deaths are by suicide. So for here, I would really want to make sure we would be resourcing mental health care. I would want to really study up and make sciencebased decisionmaking on any policy therein, while fully protecting our rights to bear arms. Q: Reproductive health continues to dominate congressional conversation, with some people hoping to overturn Roe vs. Wade and defund Planned Parenthood. Where do you stand on these issues? A: It’s everybody’s concern. We certainly need to make sure that the laws we have in place are firmly upheld. I think in this case, we know it’s a very personal decision, what you choose for your care, and for some, it’s a religious decision. That should remain within the domain of a woman and her caregiver, and we need to make sure that all citizens have information and have access to healthy care. Whatever it takes to make that happen, I support. I think education is going to be a key piece when it comes to having fewer unplanned pregnancies. I don’t think that’s what makes a healthy society. I think, ultimately, we want to make sure that we’re aware of our bodies in an age-appropriate way. As a mom of four, I’ll say that I supported all along my children understanding their bodies and I would want their peers to have that same knowledge, and also understand what a safe relation-

Peninsula Clarion | Sunday, November 4, 2018 | A7 A: It’s a state’s issue and a state’s right. I’m vice chairman of the cannabis caucus. I do not use it and don’t believe in using it, but the people of the state of Alaska voted to legalize it and I have backed that up and will continue to back it up. Q: The Kenai Peninsula and Alaska’s economy has long been dependent on oil and gas. What will you do to boost the economy here beyond oil and gas? A: Well, on the federal level we can get the federal government out of the way of the state. The state has to be more aggressive. You know, there’s no reason why we’re not developing our other resources within the state and not be delayed by actions of the federal government or people who don’t want to do anything. This state is what I call ground zero for energy. We have all kinds of energy in the state. We’ve done nothing really to develop it. Potential hydropower and everything else we have other than oil and gas. My biggest suggestion, we are dependent on oil right now and we don’t do anything that can take and sustain an economic base. When the oil goes down we have no control over it; when it goes up we have no control over it. Consequently, we got to have something that will fill treasury up with another source of resources. Q: Where do you see the future of the Arctic Wildlife

ship is. It’s one thing to know biologically, your body, but it’s also important to know what the signs are of healthy engagement with friends. I really want the best for every child. Q: Many states have legalized marijuana in the last few years, including Alaska. Canada just legalized cannabis on a national level. How do you see the future of recreational cannabis in this country, in this state? A: Alaskans have voted and it’s legal here. My concern is that the small business owners are having to carry a lot of cash and it’s not safe. I would like to work on laws to ensure that small business owners are able to conduct their business safely. It’s a lot of cash. I would like to make sure that where cannabis is effective medicinally, that it’s available. One thing that comes to mind is our veterans. My understanding is that it’s working quite well for some type of PTSD and other things. I just want to make sure that it’s legally available and affordable as a medicine when it’s appropriate. I would also like to have cannabis studied more, particularly the use of cannabis among children, so that we have a good understanding of how it is affecting our youth. I think that will ultimately bring our community to a more accepting environment of safe ways of doing business if we’re also working to keep our children safe. Q: The Kenai Peninsula and Alaska’s economy has long been dependent on oil and gas. What will you do to boost the economy here beyond oil and gas? A: I would like to see all of Alaska do more with their energy as one avenue of diversifying. I think we are seeing great examples of homes being built using local energy, whether it’s geo or solar, wind or hydro even. They’re expensive on the front end, but they save us on the back end. In some rural communities, it’s been a great opportunity for elders to be able to afford to live in their community in perpetuity because the price of utilities is so much. There are other things we can do, and maybe already do, but could do better. For example, our tourism. In Fairbanks, the tourism industry has managed to change up their revenue streams so that more than 45 percent of their dollars are coming in the winter time. They just got smarter about it. Let’s see what we have. We have the northern lights. Let’s make relationships with China, other parts of Asia and change up our airport. That’s where I would come into play, if there’s a need with the infrastructure piece. Now they’re getting almost half of their revenue stream in the

National Refuge? The refuge is still intact, other than the 10-02 area, and that was set aside in the Alaska National Lands Act for oil development if Congress voted to do so. That’s what we did under the tax bill. I’ve done that in the Congress 13 times to get that done. It’s the right thing to do. It’s where the oil is at and we should do it. A: The Trump administration decision to impose

steel tariffs has had an impact on the Port of Alaska in Anchorage, which already needs significant repairs, as well as potential impacts on pipeline construction — what’s your solution to making sure Alaska’s projects can operate affordably? Q: The Port of Anchorage is not a good port, but it’s our port. It’s the Alaska Port. It’s where all the infrastructure comes in. What I look for-

ward to is continuing to make it a good import port, and develop an export port. That can be done. We already have the beginning done out on MacKenzie Point. So, we’d have two ports here that could take out resources and ship them out and receive our goods that come in. A: Health care costs have been rising in Alaska. What’s your plan to help create a more affordable

health care system? It’s an issue I believe has to be revisited by Congress on the federal level, not using Obamacare. We have to look at how we can improve the health care of each individual. It’s going to take a lot of work from a lot of different people. It can’t be done in the closed doors behind the Speaker’s office like it was done with Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat party.

wintertime. I think about what the Kenai Peninsula could do in the wintertime. It’s pretty fun out here. I don’t think that they are marketing it much. That might be one area, to look at what you’re doing well, and be innovative about it. Tourism is certainly here in the summertime, but maybe there’s a way for us to explore what could happen in the wintertime in this area. Another would be innovations in doing things with technology. I assume we have proper broadband here. You could use those internationally marketable skills, whether it’s the next iPhone app, or software or whatever it is. The people here are very bright, so should they choose that innovative business, that’s possible. Q: Where do you see the future of the Arctic Wildlife National Refuge? A: I think it’s a refuge. While I know a bill was passed for some exploratory drilling, there will be a process for that. I think with the new technology and the drilling that we have now, it’s still possible to keep it a refuge and have much less of a footprint than what has been in the past with oil and gas drilling. That’s what I see for it. It’s going to be important for any development to be always balancing the economic advantages with the very important protections that are also critical to our people. Q: The Trump administration decision to impose steel tariffs has had an impact on the Port of Alaska in Anchorage, which already needs

significant repairs, as well as potential impacts on pipeline construction — what’s your solution to making sure Alaska’s projects can operate affordably? A: In regard to the port, it’s absolutely true that already the costs have been hugely impacted to the tune of almost $300,000, if not more. Having a president seemingly begin a trade war without an overarching plan is a concern of mine. In Congress, it’s our job to ensure that there’s a plan to look out for any activity that’s going to be negatively impacted or threatened. The port is a great example. He put out a tweet one day and that same day there happened to be an order in from China. So it went to Canada, that steel order, which comes in encasements. I was just at the port where I got a long tour and instructional presentation about this. These are encasements that can’t be made in America right now. This port is going to collapse if there is a natural disaster, so they need to have the steel. They order them from China, it goes to Canada and as soon as it hits that port, it goes up up 25 percent. The way it’s written is that each port it goes to, it goes up another 25 percent. So it gets to Seattle next, and that’s another 25 percent. Then it headed up here. The costs were astronomical because of this seemingly unstructured plan that I think deeply affects our economy. It’s a big concern of mine that we have a grown up in the room helping to ensure that we have

checks and balances. Q: Health care costs have been rising in Alaska. What’s your plan to help create a more affordable health care system? A: As I said, we need to put out the fires. The fires that are there are high pharmaceutical costs. We must be able to safely purchase, or a pharmacy should be able to purchase from Canada and European countries. Change that law immediately. Another is that we should be able to work across state lines with other states, states with a similar population size that will help grow our pool and will help lower costs just inherently with that alone. There are some other major things going on that we need to make sure do not pass, preexisting conditions being taken away, children’s health insurance. Our current congressman Don Young has voted 56 times to take away health care. That’s a big concern of mine. Fortunately, the Senate has things in check, but there’s a lot of things going on like junk insurance plans that are out there and not really benefiting our people. We have many elders who are rationing their medicine. Because even with Medicare and even with Medicare pharmaceutical supplement, many of our elders are paying hundreds of dollars and they just can’t afford those pharmaceutical costs. Long term, which we need to start right now, we need to start finding the avenue for every Alaskan and American to find quality and affordable

health care. Frankly, we’ve got an example right here in our state that I intend to bring back to Washington. It’s called the Nuka Wellness Model and it’s through the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and South Central Foundation. It’s serving more than 100,000 thousand Alaskans, and it’s inclusive of primary care, mental health, dental, vision and even specialist care. It’s serving those Alaskans for half the cost. Their wellness outcomes are so high that they’ve won international awards in three out of the last five years for many of the treatments they’ve been doing. Sometimes we need to pay attention to what is doing well here, and not just take what the federal government thinks is best for us. Sometimes we need to bring what we think is best, and this is a really great example of that. I will offer that because I am not in anyone’s pocket; I’m not taking a dime from any corporate PACs. I’ve never taken from a pharmaceutical company or insurance company. I will have a clear conscience to make the bold, courageous decisions that need to get made when it comes to changes that will make a difference for the people of Alaska. I’m beholden to one thing and that’s the people here. I really hope everybody sees our campaign as a different approach to government. When you follow the money, it’s of the people also. I’m most excited that more people are getting enthusiastic and engaged.

As of this writing, the Stand For Salmon effort has only been able to fund a very limited number of media ads. This initiative was written by Alaskans!

FELLOW ALASKANS…

We Alaskans are fish people plain and simple. We revere them, catch them, smoke them, can them, pickle them, view them in their natural state, consume them, sell them, share them, and revel in knowing that they prosper among us. Salmon bring nutrients to us from our oceans and breathe life into our wildlife, wetlands, and forests. Fish are a part of who we are whether they are salmon, trout, pike or blackfish. They are the bellwether of our health as a people. Salmon were decimated, and in many cases extirpated, from western Europe, England, Scotland, Ireland, and North America’s east coast. Only remnants of wild stocks remain in very limited areas today. Americans moved westward from our east coast in the 1800s and began to log, build dams, clear land, and grow crops. Salmon lost that battle as well. Our leaders said not to worry. We will solve the problem by building hatcheries. It didn’t work. Wild stocks and their unique genetic makeup were lost forever. Hatcheries largely failed to the tune of billions of dollars. Now we are beginning to remove dams in California, Oregon, and Washington while attempts at fish and habitat restoration continue to cost the tax payers billions. Alaska is the last bastion for Pacific salmon. The last bastion of relatively healthy native fish stocks. Historically, salmon have always lost the battle when pitted against political careers, money, economics and development. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Alaska’s fisheries and their habitat deserve better. It is time to give them the protection they need. A protection that, literally the world heretofore, has failed to do. The win/win is that this can be done in conjunction with healthy development of our other renewable and non-renewable resources! As a former habitat and fisheries biologist and consultant on the gas pipeline in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I am so frustrated with all the misleading information, scare tactics, and negative ads regarding Ballot Measure 1 in the media today. They talk about how extensive and comprehensive our current habitat laws are, betting on the presumption that you will believe them and never look for yourself! Title 16.05.871 is four short nebulous paragraphs! Who of you have even read the portions (all four paragraphs) of Title 16 that protect our fisheries? I believe very few people know what the current Alaska Statutes Title 16.05.871 says and how it protects our anadromous and non-anadromous fishes… and even fewer have read Ballot Measure 1 in full and understand how it is different and better for Alaska’s salmon and the people who depend on them. Instead, they choose to watch and be mis-lead by expensive and erroneous ads on television and their computers, paid for by big business purporting that the proposition is foolish and unwise and will stop every development project in the state. How ridiculous and foolish is that! They quote government officials and leaders who claim that Ballot Measure 1 would stall and/or eliminate all transportation and economic development projects statewide. Let’s get real folks. The bottom line here is money. No one wants to be forced to get a permit or ask for permission from government to do anything, and none of the large developers want to spend a single dime beyond what is required to meet the current letter of the law. Big business likes the current Title 16 fisheries habitat law, as currently written, because they know it requires the minimum effort and money to abide by and mitigate their development activities. The people telling you this are mostly folks that care little about the resource and only about their profits and shareholders. Permitting is part of the cost of doing business in resource development. All these organizations have biologists on staff or consultants who take care of permitting and mitigating sensitive biological issues that arise during development and resource extraction. Throughout my entire 60 years as an Alaskan resident, biologist, fishing guide, and former Board of Fisheries member, there is one thing I have heard over and over from every user group. “Let the biologists do their job! Take the politics out of research, management, allocation, and protection!” Ballot Proposition 1 is a clear honest chance to do that for once! Our current Title 16 salmon protection is outdated, lacks specific criteria and guidelines for fish protection, and worse yet, the go or no-go decision balances perilously on the fulcrum of the current political climate. Decisions about fish and their habitat can vary from the far left to the far right depending upon who sits in political power. This is the people’s chance, not only to protect fish and their habitat, but also to decide as Alaskans what we want responsible development of our resources in Alaska to look like. Will passage of Ballot Measure 1 make development projects more difficult with more hoops to jump through for resource extractors? For some projects… yes. For others… no. Will Ballot Measure 1 make important development projects obsolete/impossible? Definitely not! Salmon will not take priority over all other resource development in this state (our courts have said so) but it will lay all the cards on the table for all Alaskans to see and weigh in on. Transparency! Ballot Measure 1, if passed, also gives the Alaska Legislature the option to weigh in on the specifics of the new statute and tweak it accordingly. We as Alaskans currently have no voice in development projects that greatly affect our fisheries resources other than our own grassroots efforts like the salmon initiative. Permitting decisions are made behind closed doors and ultimately decided by the administration and politicians currently in power. More importantly, what it will do in some cases, is require developers to do a better job at resource extraction. It may require developers to mitigate negative impacts on fish and their habitats, and post bonds that hold them liable and their “toes to the fire” to make sure it is done right, and tax payers are not left holding the bag. One only has to look at Montana’s mining disasters of decades ago where the nation’s largest Superfund projects are still cleaning up the mess left by shady development entities at the tax payer’s expense. Will this cost developers, and ultimately the consumer, more money? An increase in oil or gas prices? An increase in gold prices? An increase in infrastructure and transportation costs? It could. But, if it does, I for one am willing to pay that cost to make sure that our land, habitat and fish resources are protected. This is also known as the cost of doing business. Everything costs money. We pay gas taxes for better roads. We pay income tax for government services. Some pay taxes on alcohol and cigarettes to mitigate their negative effects on society. Increasing the cost of doing business is a common solution to many of our problems. I don’t like increased taxes any more than anyone else and I don’t want to see my costs go up for any goods or services just to buoy someone else’s profits or shares in a company. But if I have to pay 10 cents a gallon more at the pump… or a road tax to make sure our salmon have viable fish passage across roads and highways…or pay a few more dollars for my computer which uses silver and gold in its circuitry, to make sure our renewable natural resources are protected…I’m all in. For me, Ballot Measure 1 is a no brainer. A win/win solution. We have a golden opportunity here to have a say in how we want development of our resources to look. I stand for salmon… and bears, and moose, and clean water, and clean air, and a healthy environment for my grandchildren. I also stand for jobs, a healthy economy, and wise use of our natural resources. I ask you to educate yourself on this issue and be sure you understand it before you make a decision. Don’t rely on the Pebble leadership, or the Donlin Gold folks, or BP Alaska, or Conoco Phillips or even the for-profit Alaska Native Corporation leaders to guide you. I suggest you ask the common folks plying their nets in the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers for king salmon and see what they think. Ask the folks who have blackfish traps in the wetlands surrounding Alakanak. Ask the folks who dipnet on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers and sport fish for sockeyes in the Russian River. Ask the folks who are putting up dried fish at Kokhanok, Aleknagik, and Emmonak. Ask the charter fishing guide in Sitka. Ask the Alaskans who frequent the Portage Valley and the Chilkat river’s salmon spawning areas. Ask the children who had their last school field trip on Campbell Creek in Anchorage to learn about fisheries and their habitat. Ask the dog mushers in the Willow, Salcha, Talkeetna, and Denali Park areas. Ask the folks in Glennallen who fish salmon at Batzulnetas, and those who gillnet sheefish on the Kobuk. Ask the commercial set gillnetters in Cook Inlet and Norton sound. The seiners in Kodiak. Ask the Fairbanksans who dipnet in the Copper River. Ask the Alaskans who visit the McNeil River every year to watch the salmon jump the falls and provide sustenance for Alaska Peninsula brown bears. Finally, just ask those Alaskans who want to see healthy fisheries in Alaska for their children and their children’s children. Don’t ask the heads of corporations whose only interest is delivering profits to shareholders. Please…don’t just vote your pocket book in November. Don’t sell out the one renewable resource that defines us as a people and a state. Vote your heart and do something good for once for yourself, your family, and all Alaskans.

Don’t be afraid to VOTE YES on Ballot Measure 1. Join us and Stand for Salmon.

• Regardless of the election results, we as Alaskans, need to deal with this issue for the better of us all. Let’s put the lies and rhetoric aside and sit down and put all the cards on the table with the goal of ensuring that Title 16 will protect our fisheries for future generations.

• Fish and their habitat will go away in some areas if some of these projects go through, and the potential for environmental catastrophes becomes infinitely larger. The current Title 16 does not protect our salmon and their habitat under these large project scenarios that are primarily approved or disapproved by economics and the political climate.

This ad was paid for by… Mike & Shirley Chihuly, PO Box 39294 Ninilchik, Ak. 99639 We are 65-year residents of the state of Alaska and we paid for this ad with our Permanent Fund. We hunt, fish, pick berries, and enjoy the Alaskan outdoors, and we believe protecting our fisheries for future generations is something worth fighting for. Please consider our renewable resources and the health of our state when you vote on Tuesday. Thank you.

Bears split with Jr. Blues By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears and Springfield (Illinois) Jr. Blues split a North American Hockey League Series on Friday and Saturday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. The Bears won 2-1 on Friday before dropping a 6-1 contest on Saturday. The Bears are now 2-5-0-1 in their last eight and are 9-8-0-1 overall. The Blues snapped a five-game losing streak and are 6-8-2Kenai River Brown Bears forward Alex Klekotka tries to angle 1.

The Bears host the divisionleading Minnesota Magicians on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Friday, the story was three veterans. Three stars of the game. One tough win. Gavin Enright, Alex Klekotka and Michael Spethmann played a major role for the Bears. “We’ve got guys going through slumps, and that’s OK, especially the younger guys,” Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich said. “I always say the young guys are going to struggle for a third of the season. “The older guys have to pick us up and they did that tonight.” It started with Enright, who

is in his second season with the team and has one year of junior eligibility after this season. After allowing a goal to Spencer DenBeste just 2 minutes, 55 seconds, into the game, he was perfect the rest of the way in recording 19 saves. Springfield head coach Tyler Rennette called Enright one of the best goalies in the league. “We had a lot of Grade A’s tonight,” said Rennette, talking about the quality of Springfield’s chances. “We didn’t capitalize on them and they did.” Enright’s most notable save came with 17:49 left in the second period, when he stopped Jonathan Panisa on a breakaway. Springfield also finished

Going out a winner

Bulldogs prevail in 5-setter over Grace The Nikiski volleyball team topped Grace Christian in a five-set thriller to win the Southcentral Conference volleyball tournament Saturday at Anchorage Christian Schools. The scores were 25-20, 26-28, 25-22, 2225 and 15-13. The final game was tied at 13 before Nikiski took the final two points. This was the third straight year the Bulldogs and Grizzlies faced off for the title. Nikiski won in 2016, while Grace won last year. When Nikiski won in 2016, it fueled the Bulldogs to a runner-up finish at state. Last season after losing the title game, Nikiski went two-and-out at state. This year, Nikiski hit a three-game losing streak near the end of the season, but won two straight to finish the regular season. “We’re definitely peaking at the right time,” Nikiski coach Stacey Segura said. “It was awesome to see the girls really kept their cool when we went through that losing streak. “They focused in practice on what needed to be fixed and that helped with what happened tonight.” The Bulldogs have accumulated a lot of experience in important five-setters over the course of the last few years at it showed Saturday. “It’s calming to know we have so much experience at that kind of a pressure situation,” Segura said. “Of course, I’d like it go go four and breathe a bit easier, but this group is very competitive and they don’t like to lose.” Nikiski and Grace earn the only two au-

0 for 6 on the power play and Enright was a big reason why. Klekotka, in his third year with the Bears and in his last year of junior eligibility, was around the puck and putting shots on net all night. He was rewarded when he scored to level the game with 14:05 left in the first, on assists from Spethmann and Eagle River’s Zach Krajnik. Petrich said it is hard to believe Klekotka only has two goals in 17 games considering the quality of his shot. Friday’s effort zoomed past Caleb Hannon (23 saves), hit the pipe and went in. “I’ve had a ton of shots, but

When Soldotna diving coach Dennis Reger asked a group of swimmers in the fall of 2015 if a few wanted to join the dive team, the first hand that hesitantly rose up was that of freshman Kylin Welch. Now a senior, Welch gave Reger the greatest gift a coach could receive Saturday at the ASAA state swimming and diving championships with a state title in the boys diving event, sending Reger off into retirement as a winner. “It’s a big moment,” said an emotional Reger. “What a way to go out.” The championship is the first state crown for a SoHi swimmer or diver in 15 years, the last coming in 2003 when Abby Kiffmeyer claimed double gold in the girls 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke. Reger said when he first laid eyes on Welch and Sam Skolnick, he did not foresee future state greatness. “Especially not when (Welch) raised his hand,” Reger said. “And I never thought Sam could come out and dive the way he did. “But I thought I’ll take anything.” The Dimond girls and Service boys captured team championships at the meet, with the Lynx tallying their fourth straight girls title and the Cougars getting their first state boys title since 1996.

Soldotna punches ticket to state volleyball By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

A day after securing their second straight berth at the Class 4A state tournament, the Soldotna Stars fell victim to the Wasilla Warriors in a tight, five-set loss Friday at the Northern Lights Conference tournament at Colony High. SoHi lost with scores of 25-21, 20-

25, 15-25, 25-20 and 18-16, leaving the Stars with a third-place tournament finish. Head coach Sheila Kupferschmid stressed that the bottom line is SoHi is headed to state. “I feel like I have a very good team,” Kupferschmid said. “We could’ve very well been the team in the (conference) championship game, it came down to a few points here and there.”

Wasilla and Colony met in Saturday’s title game, with Wasilla forcing the if-necessary game, then taking it 30-28. SoHi won sets two and three to grab a 2-1 match lead, but the Warriors won set four to force the winnertake-all fifth set. Kupferschmid said losing 18-16 in the final game came down to inches. “The kids played very well,” she

said. “It could’ve gone our way, but we had opportunities to close it, but it didn’t happen for us. “But I was proud of my kids, they put their hearts on the floor and that’s exactly what I asked them to do.” Kupferschmid said the current crop of seniors have come a long way, and she saw the talent coming early as a 17-1 season indicated at the C-team level in 2015.

Aliann Schmidt exploded for 21 kills against Wasilla, while Bailey Leach had 12 kills and Ituau Tuisaula notched 11. Schmidt added six blocks as well, while Leach scored 11 points and Tuisaula scored 10 to go with 24 digs on defense. Additionally, Kodi McGillivray had 11 points, Holleigh Jaime notched 17 digs and Kylie Ness recorded 14 digs.

Patriots goalie saves 76 in debut Chugiak captures Peninsula Ice Challenge, while SoHi is 2nd By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

They don’t exactly ease freshman goaltenders into action at North Pole. Making his first varsity start, North Pole freshman Nic Clark made 76 saves to preserve a 4-all tie with Soldotna in the second round of the Peninsula Ice Challenge on Friday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. The Stars would still eventually finish ahead of the Patriots at the three-day tournament. Chugiak defeated North Pole 9-0 on Saturday to win the event with a 3-0 record, while Soldotna topped Kenai Central 6-1 on Saturday. The Stars finished second at 1-1-1, the Patriots were third at 1-1-1

and Kenai was fourth at 0-3. North Pole coach Jason Storey was shocked by the Friday performance of Clark, whose last level of hockey was Tier IV. “He worked hard in practice and looked good, but we didn’t expect that,” Storey said. Thursday, Kenai outshot North Pole 41-37 but lost 8-1 due to the solid work of goalie Moses Halbert. Friday, the Patriots were outshot 80-13 but still managed a tie. “For two games in a row, our goalies just stood on their head,” Storey said. “Especially in the first period, we had no business being in the game. “We gave up 40 shots last night and that’s a lot. Eighty is out of the realm

of normal.” Clark chalked up his success to working hard in practice. “I was just trying to play my game, but tracking the puck got hard after awhile,” he said. Soldotna coach Indy Walton and Storey go way back, having played together as teenagers. Walton also dated himself by answering “Yes” when asked if he had ever seen a game like Friday’s. In 1987, Walton was a sophomore at Lathrop when his squad topped Service 4-3 in three overtimes for the state title. Walton said the Cougars won the shot count that night 70-15. “That goalie stood on his head,” See PUCK, page B4

South wrestlers capture Top Dog Invite Staff report Peninsula Clarion

South High of Anchorage won the Top Dog Invite on Friday and Saturday at Nikiski High School. The tournament was an all-new format, with 32-man brackets placing out to 16 places. The girls had a bracket for one weight class, but at other weights with less wrestlers a round-robin format was used. Nikiski athletic director and assistant wrestling coach Dylan Hooper said this format allowed wrestlers to get a lot of matches at their level. The Wolverines won with 300.5 points, while Colony was next at 292 and Homer was third at 222.5. Also from the peninsula, Soldotna was fourth at 210, Nikiski was eighth at 137, Voznesenka was 12th at 83, Ke-

The Kenai Central boys took fifth in the team standings as the top peninsula school with 32 points, tied with JuneauDouglas. SoHi finished ninth in the boys team race while Homer was 11th and Seward was 15th. In the girls team race, Homer was the top peninsula school in ninth with 23 points, while Seward was 10th and SoHi was 13th. The other big peninsula performance of the day came from Seward freshman sensation Lydia Jacoby, who rolled up two state titles in the girls 200-yard IM and the 100-yard breastroke, the latter which saw her break the eight-year-old state record in the event. Jacoby was announced as the Outstanding Female Athlete of the meet, along with Outstanding Male Athlete winner Caleb Law of Service. STARS TAKE DIVING Welch scored 433.15 points to beat West Anchorage runner-up Houlton Dannenberg’s 410.15 points, and was closely followed by senior teammate Skolnick, who finished third with 407.60 points to join Welch on the state podium. Reger is retiring after 21 years as a diving coach, 17 at Soldotna and four at Skyview High School, and was able to enjoy his last moments on the pool deck as a coach in style. The state title for Welch came a week after he won the Northern Lights Conference crown in a 1-2 finish with Skolnick. “We’re both part of it, I’m really proud of him,” Welch said. “It’s been a long journey to get here, but it’s been great.” Welch said the state win was the realization of a dream he has had for four years. “It was everything I hoped for,” Welch said. “I’m still freaking out.” Welch entered the final three rounds Saturday with a sizable lead to protect with Skolnick sitting second. Entering the final dive of the day, the senior needed just 21 points to win, but came through with a big 44-point haul. Welch said he believes he had it won with his forward 1 1/2 with a full twist. “It was a lot of pressure, I

was definitely a little nervous for it,” he said. “But it came out all right.” Skolnick said his first dive, a back 1 1/2 somersault with a half twist, did not get enough rotation, which may have cost him the silver medal, but he finished with his best yet, a triple somersault. “I’m definitely happy,” Skolnick said. “Maybe the meet could’ve gone a little better, but it is what it is. I’m happy I got into it these last two years.” SEWARD FRESHMAN NETS RECORD If no one knew the name Lydia Jacoby, they sure know it now. Jacoby blazed a path to the girls 100-yard breaststroke state record — officially — with a time of 1:03.11, erasing the 2010 mark of 1:04.50 held by Kodiak’s Laura Griffing. Jacoby had eclipsed the state record twice before this season, including last weekend at the region meet with a PR of 1:03.05, but times do not count for the official record book outside of the state meet. “It was coming,” said a pleased Seward head coach Meghan O’Leary. “We knew it was coming for a while.” Jacoby took two wins Saturday, adding a victory in the girls 200 IM before tallying her breaststroke record. In the IM event, Jacoby trailed by about four seconds and in fifth place at the halfway point, but posted a monstrous breaststroke leg of the four-stroke event, quickly eating into the lead of Dimond’s Dreamer Kowatch to catch and pass her before starting the final freestyle leg. Kowatch lost about five seconds to Jacoby alone on the breaststroke leg, and Jacoby said it was undoubtedly her better race of the day. “I guess my mind was on the 200,” she said. “I knew I had the ability to win but there were like four other girls that could win it.” The two wins are the first state championships for a Seward swimmer since 2010, when Ryan O’Leary won double gold in the boys 50 and 100 freestyle races. O’Leary’s older sister, Meghan, now the head swim coach, said Jacoby’s performances made for a proud day to be a Seahawk. O’Leary said her last words to Jacoby before the breaststroke event stressed the im-

portance of finding her rhythm quickly. “I told her she’s got to get into it the first 25 yards,” O’Leary said. “That really set her up well for the last 100.” Having swum a tick slower than her region meet time, Jacoby chalked it up to exhaustion from the two-day state meet. Jacoby is also scheduled to swim at the Winter National Championship meet in Greensboro, North Carolina, at the end of the month. “I don’t know, I think I just tired out,” Jacoby said. The only other Seward swimmer at the state meet, junior Connor Spanos, also brought home a strong finish with a fourth in the boys 100 butterfly final. O’Leary said Spanos had just overcome an illness, so the result was impressive. “(Friday) was horrible for him,” O’Leary said. “But he had one more good swim in him.” HEAVEN TAKES SILVER Kenai Central senior Savaii Heaven closed out his high school career with a runner-up finish in the boys 100 backstroke final, while also teaming up to take fifth in the 200 medley relay and sixth in the 200 freestyle relay. Heaven was joined in the 200 medley relay by Trevor Bagley, Owen Rolph and Sorin Sorensen, and in the 200 free relay by Sorensen, Rolph and Koda Poulin. Heaven, who is not one to put emphasis on placement, said he was most happy to finish with his personal best in the backstroke, a time of 52.77 seconds. “I’d rather have a better time and (finish) second, than to win and not PR,” Heaven said. Heaven also said he was proud of the two relays for breaking the boys school record in both races. The 200 free relay finished in 1:31.83 and the 200 medley relay finished in 1:41.50. “I think everyone pulled PRs with their splits,” he said. “It’s just a good group of guys to get our names up on the board.” The top finish for the Homer

Mariners was a fourth for the girls 200 freestyle relay, with Madison Story, Ella BlantonYourkowski, Adeline Berry and Alia Bales making up the team. Also for Homer, Clayton Arndt wrapped up a stout season with a fifth place in the boys 100 freestyle final.

Custer gets NASCAR Xfinity victory to earn a shot at the title FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Cole Custer’s first career victory at Homestead last year wasn’t for the NASCAR Xfinity championship. When he gets back to South Florida in two weeks, the 20-year-old Custer will have a chance

to win a title there. Custer locked in one of the four championshipcontending spots for the season finale with his second career win. He regained the lead and won at Texas on Saturday when he pushed past rookie

driver Tyler Reddick on the final lap soon after a restart. “We haven’t won all year but we have been so close. It starts to frustrate you,” Custer said. “We kept going and this is a perfect time to do it.”

The final restart with two laps left came after the 13th caution, the most ever in an Xfinity race at Texas. The final charge to the finish left Custer’s No. 00 Ford with a winning margin of .162 of a second, the third-closest at the 1 1/2-mile track.

The Bulldogs did exactly that. Bethany Carstens had 18 kills and five blocks for Nikiski, while Kaitlyn Johnson had 13 kills, six aces and 18 assists, Emma Wik had nine kills, three aces, 27 digs and 22 assists; Kaycee Bostic had 10 blocks; and Kelsey Clark had 36 digs. Clark also was named co-MVP of the conference. “It’s usually a hitter or a setter,” Segura said. “I pushed for her hard. She doesn’t get a lot of recognition but she works her butt off and she’s carried our defense for the past three years.” Homer prevailed in the thirdplace bracket Saturday by defeating Kenai 25-15, 25-17 and 25-13.

Nikiski punched its ticket to state for a third year in a row Friday with a pair of three-set sweeps over Redington and Anchorage Christian to set up the title game with Grace. “It’s about staying positive and not getting outworked,” Segura said about the title matchup with the Grizzlies. “Grace never gives up, so it’s important to finish every point. We’ve got to have a great serve-recieve, they have good servers.” Nikiski started the day Friday with a 3-0 win over Redington with scores of 25-11, 25-10 and 25-9.

Alabama routs LSU By The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — Tua Tagovailoa threw two touchdown passes and ran 44 yards for a score in his toughest test this season, Alabama’s defense stifled No. 4 LSU, and the top-ranked Crimson Tide remained unbeaten with a 29-0 victory Saturday night. Tagovailoa took the field wearing a brace on right knee, threw his first interception of the season late in the first half and also played into the fourth quarter for the first time this season. None of those developments proved consequential. He was 25-of-42 passing for 295 yards and moved as well as well as he needed to, particularly when he sprinted up the middle of the field or his long TD run in the third quarter to give Alabama (9-0, 6-0 SEC, No. 1 CFP) a 22-0 lead. NO. 2 CLEMSON 77, LOUISVILLE 16 CLEMSON, S.C. — Travis Etienne ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns and 350-pound defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence added a 2-yard scoring burst for Clemson.

I have to remind them they’re No. 1 in the region for a reason. “It’s a game of mistakes, it’s just part of the game, and you can’t be perfect all the time.” ACS had beaten Seward 25-18, 2521, 23-25 and 26-24 earlier in the day in the first round of matches. Seward came back Friday to oust Redington 25-12, 26-24 and 25-16 and set up a consolation match with Homer. Against the Lions, Johnson pulled together an impressive match for Nikiski with eight kills, two blocks, six aces, 10 digs and 10 assists, while Bethany Carstens had 11 kills and five blocks. Wik provided 21 assists to go with two blocks, while Bostic had five kills and Lillian Carstens had seven. Clark notched 15 digs on defense. The Homer Mariners prevailed 2511, 25-12 and 25-12 in the first round over Houston, but fell to Grace 19-25,

25-16, 25-15 and 25-21 in the other tournament semifinal. Kenai split its two tournament matches Friday, starting with a threeset loss to Grace Christian with scores of 25-22, 25-12 and 25-15, eliminating the Kardinals from an automatic state berth. Later on Friday, the Kardinals beat Houston 25-11, 25-17 and 25-20. “It’s very important (to win),” said Kenai head coach Tracie Beck. “(Grace) came ready to play, but we’re playing our best ball. That’s what you hope as a coach, to see your team peaking at this time of year.” Against the Grizzlies, Jenna Streiff had a defensive day with 25 digs, while teammate Bethany Morris had six kills, Lexi Reis notched four kills, and Kaylee Lauritsen scored three aces. Against Houston, Morris led the offensive attack with 10 kills, while Abby Every kicked in nine. Reis notched nine ace, Jayden Streiff had three aces to go with 17 digs, and Kailey Hamilton provided 14 assists and Lauritsen had 12 assists. In the Saturday match against ACS, Every had three aces, Jaiden Streiff had three aces, Morris had 16 kills,

Every had eight kills, Jaiden Streiff had 26 digs and Jenna Streiff had 41 digs. Against Homer, Reis had three aces and six kills, Morris had two aces and six kills, Every had five kills, Jenna Streiff had 18 digs and Jaiden Streiff had 12 digs. Kenai Central did not have any seniors and the strong finish sets the Kards up nicely for next season. “They just worked hard and continued to improve all year long,” Beck said. “They played some of their best ball at the tournament. I’m super proud of the effort. It was an excellent way to finish.” All-Conference

Cormier chokes out Lewis, defends title NEW YORK (AP) — The “DC” initials that flashed on the Madison Square Garden marquee have a deeper meaning for Daniel Cormier. Dual Champ. Cormier draped himself in two title belts, historymaking bling that cemented the 39-year-old as one of the greats in the mixed martial

arts game. “Two belts for each shoulder! I get to look at this again,” Cormier said. “It’s history and Daniel Cormier is one of the best of all-time.” He backed up his boast with authority in New York. Cormier choked out Derrick Lewis in the middle of the second round to retain his

heavyweight championship in the main event of UFC 230, becoming the first fighter to defend titles in two weight classes. Cormier, who also holds the light heavyweight crown, made quick work of an overmatched Lewis with a rear naked choke. He celebrated with his family in the cage as

puck to the net. With 10:04 left in the game, Springfield was on the power play passing around the perimeter when Spethmann poked the puck away, shook off a player being called for a penalty and scored on the breakaway. “Him and Krajnik are so much speed to handle on the penalty kill,” Petrich said. “They put pressure on the perimeter. Give him credit for staying on it and finishing it.” Spethmann’s play got the seven-game homestand off on the right foot. “It was frustrating going on the road and struggling,” Kle-

kotka said. “You always want to come home and play well in front of your home crowd. You want to show them it’s worth it to keep coming. “We were definitely playing for all of them up there.” The Jr. Blues came out strong Saturday, ready to shake off the losing streak. Springfield took a 3-0 lead after the first period and didn’t look back. Jack Williams had 36 saves for the Jr. Blues, while Enright stopped 41 for the Bears. Kenai River’s lone goal was by Connor Scahill on an assist from JJ Boucher and Connor Canterbury of Eagle River.

they have not been falling,” Klekotka said. “I just turned around and saw an opening on the left.” It fell on Spethmann, in his second year with the team and his last year of junior eligibility, to produce the game-winner. Rennette said his squad’s power play was good at the beginning of the season, but has tailed off as his players have become enamored with perimeter passing and not getting the

Lewis trudged out, still in his trunks unlike the last fight that made him a quick star. Cormier (22-1, 1 no-contest) had a quick takedown in the first and turned in a dominant yet dull effort to easily take the round. He didn’t waste much time in the second and left MSG with a little slice of history.

Biles wraps up remarkable worlds with 4th gold medal DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Simone Biles returned to training last November wondering if she could ever return to the form that made her an Olympic champion. She doesn’t wonder anymore. Neither does anyone else.

The American star capped a remarkable 2018 world gymnastics championships by claiming gold on floor exercise and bronze on balance beam during event finals Saturday, giving her six medals for the meet and 20 overall in the world championships, tied with Russia’s Svet-

lana Khorkina for the most by a female gymnast. “I think there’s a lot to be proud, but I’m most proud of that I’m here, I made all the event finals, medaled in all of the events and I survived,” Biles said. Something that wasn’t a guarantee when the

meet began. Biles spent the night before qualifying in the hospital dealing with pain from a kidney stone. The stone was too big to pass and she couldn’t take prescription pain medication because of doping regulations, forcing her to simply deal with it.

The Alaska Division of Forestry and the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will host the free workshop from 6-8 p.m. Nov. 8 at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Building at 40610 Kalifornsky Beach Road.

p.m., Friday Nov. 30 and Saturday Dec. 1 7 p.m. All through the latter part of November and into December, keep a look out for various craft shows going on in the Soldotna and Kenai area. There are several events happening around the state of Alaska during this holiday season. Apologies for not naming all of them. Here are two that I’m aware of. On Nov. 5-11 in Haines the 24th Annual Bald Eagle Festival will be celebrated. This is the largest congregation of American bald eagles in the world, and is in the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in Haines. Each November in the Chilkat Valley between 2,000 and 4,000 bald eagles are attracted to a late-run of Chum and Coho salmon. Because of this Haines is known as the Valley of the Eagles. This event is hosted by the American Bald Eagle Founda-

tion. The 2018 Bald Eagle Festival has won the Mindful Birding Award on ethical viewing of bald eagles. The foundation is a nonprofit organization. On Nov. 23 in Petersburg there will be a Festival of Lights. This happens on the Friday after Thanksgiving when a Community Christmas Tree is lighted. Hundreds of people walk down Nordic Drive with Santa carrying lights sticks or candles. A local citizen is honored to light the tree, with a magical wave of their hand and the high school band and chorus performing Christmas carols. Here are some November trivia: On Nov. 16, 1973, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act passed by one vote in Senate and became law. On Nov 24, 1958, Alaska held the first general election. November is the time to don warm clothes, because the chill is on. The Holiday Season is starting. Have fun. Be safe and be responsible.

Rental rights for support animals

PET PAL Dear Readers: Richard and Susan emailed a picture of Shelly, their green-eyed specialneeds cat. They found Shelly at a cat-rescue event, and they really fell for her. Shelly came from a hoarding situation and was in poor health. But with Richard and Su-

san’s support, Shelly healed magnificently. She’s now a happy kitty and spends every day playing with her toys, and following Richard and Susan around the house to see what they are doing. Most mornings, she comes onto the bed to remind them: It’s time for breakfast! To see Shelly and our other Pet Pals, visit www.Heloise.com and click on “Pet of the Week.” -- Heloise P.S. Richard and Susan read my column in the Redondo Beach, California, Daily Breeze. NO BENT EDGES Dear Heloise: When closing a paint can, I lay a wooden stir stick across the lid. A couple of sharp taps with a hammer on the stir stick, one on each side of the can, seals the lid tightly with no bent edges, leaving it easy to open the next time. -- Mary, via email

MAKEUP REMOVER Dear Readers: A roll of bathroom tissue in a square boutique facial tissue box makes an easy cleaner for makeup. Flushing facial tissues is not recommended, but a length of bath tissue can be used to blot the face and then be flushed, if necessary. -- Heloise

-- LOST COUSIN IN CALIFORNIA DEAR COUSIN: I can offer insight, but not a roadmap for how to proceed. Family secrets can be devastating. That your father reacted so strongly shows how threatened he is that you might uncover something he isn’t proud of. As a college graduate, I am sure you are familiar with the myth about Pandora’s box. While you may not lose your father if you delve into this, you may find that when you do, your image of him may be shattered. If you really feel you will “regret it forever” if you do, then make sure you are prepared for the possible penalty.

DEAR ABBY: My only son and his wife had their first baby recently. My daughterin-law treats me terribly. She’s hypercritical of what I do or say. I am usually so blind-

sided I don’t have much of a reply. When I attempted to help out with the laundry, cleaning, etc., I was met with more criticism and advice on how to perform those tasks. She also says I don’t know how to properly hold an Abigail Van Buren infant. Abby, I have raised five grown children! How can I change this situation? -- PUNISHED FOR WANTING TO HELP DEAR PUNISHED: Remind your daughter-in-law that you’re just trying to help her. She may not have been critical of your efforts as much as trying to convey how she would like those tasks done. However, if you can’t please her, take the hint and stop offering. She may be a nervous new mother, but she appears to have gone overboard to the point of being tactless. The next time she tells you you don’t know how to hold a baby, point out that you managed to raise five of them safely to adulthood. Then back off and give her some space because she may be hormonal and need it.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby. com or P.O.

Dad threatens to disown son if he digs into family history DEAR ABBY: I am a 22-year-old, single male who recently graduated from college. I received lots of congratulations in person and by phone, text and social media. One of them came from a woman my age named “Bree.” When I responded, I didn’t recall ever having friended her but learned she’s a cousin who lives back east. Apparently, her mother and my father are siblings. When I asked my father about it, he got very defensive and told me whoever it was I spoke to is a complete and total liar. Ordinarily, I might have agreed, but his reaction tells me there’s a lot more to this. I want to find out more. Neither of my parents will say a word about it, and I don’t know why. When I told them I plan to travel to the East Coast and meet Bree, I was told I may not be welcomed back if I do! This makes me wonder what horrible thing could have happened that would make a father consider disowning his son. Because my father won’t share the truth with me, I am left with only this option. Pursue this, find part of my family I never knew existed and learn something, but lose the family I have and regret it forever. Any insight?

TIRE TROUBLE Dear Readers: A Saturday is the perfect time to think about the tires on your car. Here are some hints: * Rotate your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. This can help prevent uneven wear. * Look on the doorjamb for the recommended tire pressure. Check your tires about once a month. * Tires should be rebalanced every other rotation. * Inspect your tires frequently. Look for gashes and other damage. * The tire pressure monitoring system indicator light comes on only when your tire loses 25 percent pressure. That’s too much! -- Heloise

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others greet you with enthusiasm and happiness. You cannot help but enjoy being part of the group. Reach out to an older person at a distance.

Dear Readers: Do you have an EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL? If you are a renter, does your landlord waive the pet deposit and monthly pet rent? He should. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (www.HUD.gov) says an emotional support animal is NOT defined as a pet, but rather as “a reasonable accommodation for a disability,” and therefore is not subject to a pet deposit or monthly pet rent. However, per HUD, you are responsible for cleaning up after the animal, and to repair or pay for any damage the animal may cause. Your doctor or therapist can assist in getting your dog, cat, ferret, rabbit or other animal declared an emotional support animal. -- Heloise

American veterans

My Daddy Is a Hero

Sarah Verardo said Mike “wore the uniform (of the U.S. Army) proudly.” He wanted to serve “to protect the freedoms of all Americans,” she writes in the book. “Families serve along with them,” Sarah said. “We’re proud, too.” It’s important that we remember and celebrate our veterans every day of the year, but Veterans Day gives us a chance to show our service members how much we appreciate their sacrifice, or something given up for someone else. The holiday falls on Nov. 11, the anniversary of the end of World War I.

Mini Fact: There are about 4 million wounded veterans in the United States. all photos courtesy Sarah Verardo

When Grace was 3 years old, she went to preschool for the first time. Her mom and dad came to school events and met her friends at school. But her classmates had a lot of questions about Grace’s dad. Veterans Day is celebrated on Nov. 11. This week, The Mini Page tells the story of Grace’s dad, her family and many other veterans of the U.S. armed services.

Wounded by war

Mike Verardo, Grace’s dad, enlisted in the U.S. Army after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in New York City; Arlington, Virginia; and Mike in Afghanistan. Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In 2009, he was sent to Afghanistan as an infantryman with the 82nd Airborne Division. In April 2010, Mike was struck by an explosive device known as an IED. He was badly injured and lost his left leg and the use of his left arm. He also had bad burns and suffered damage to his brain. Doctors thought he might not live. Mike’s brain injury affected his balance and motor skills, along with skills needed to manage himself. He can do many things on his own, but he needs help with some daily tasks.

A proud family

Three years after his injury, Mike and Sarah, his girlfriend, got married. Grace was born a year later, and now she has two little sisters.

For Grace, her daddy always had one mechanical, or prosthetic (prahs-THEH-tick), leg that he could remove. For her, his left arm was always paralyzed. And many of her dad’s friends also had new legs and arms. But when Grace first went to preschool, another student made a lot of comments about her dad. She told Grace her daddy was “gross.” First, Grace corrected her, saying her daddy is a hero and is not gross. Then she told her mom, Sarah, about the comments.

Helping other veterans

“Hero at Home” was written for children of disabled veterans, but it will also help veterans themselves. Sales of the book will benefit The Independence Fund, an organization that “Hero at Home” was illustrated by provides wheelchairs and other mobility aids Inna Eckman. to veterans, along with help for caregivers and support for sports programs for disabled veterans.

Teaching children

Sarah decided she needed to help her children understand that although their daddy’s body had changed, he still had the same heart. So she wrote “Hero at Home,” a picture Grace helps her dad attach his book for young kids about prosthetic leg. veterans with severe injuries. “Children are naturally curious,” Sarah Verardo told The Mini Page. “It’s OK for kids to say hello and ask about” Mike’s leg or his wheelchair. She hopes that with so many wounded veterans in our society, today’s children will grow up to accept them and work for their rights. Sarah said one of the most important messages of “Hero at Home” is that Mike is still working hard to get better. He has long hospital stays and more surgery ahead, and his family will need to support him for the rest of his life.

Eco Note In 1830, there were about 1 billion people on Earth. Just 100 years later, the figure had doubled, and experts predict that by 2050, the planet may be home to as many as 9 billion people. As the human population grows, we need more and more resources, such as food, water, land and fuel. These needs put pressure on habitats and wildlife, threatening many living things.

Recycle that: Many household items find surprising new lives

This photo shows an array of succulents planted in a shallow dish for display inside a home near Langley, Wash. (Dean Fosdick via AP)

There’s no need for gardeners to go dormant along with their landscape when cold weather arrives. Arranging plants in small dishes and pots can be an enjoyable indoor alternative at the end of the summer growing season. “By creating a dish garden, you are in fact creating a miniature landscape,” said Dawn Pettinelli, an Extension educator with the University of Connecticut. “It can be as plain or as frivolous as one desires.” Dish gardens generally consist of several different plants arranged together in a single container. The most important thing is choosing plant varieties needing similar surroundings and care. For example, dish gardens combining succulents with cacti would work. Mixing plants preferring direct sunlight with something like shade-favoring orchids might not. Or choose a theme: desert garden or tropical garden, moss garden or rock garden, herb garden or woodland garden, and many others. “You could make one up depicting where you vacationed, a holiday theme or even the time of the dinosaurs,” Pettinelli said. Indoor gardens, with their miniature, lowmaintenance plants, thrive in small spaces, and that makes them a natural fit for succulents. “Thanks to their intriguing forms and ease of care, succulents are replacing African violets as the plants of choice for indoor gardens,” said Debra Lee Baldwin, author of “Designing With Succulents” (Timber Press, revised second edition). Succulents are shallow-rooted. “For a windowsill, a pot that fits into your cupped hands is perfect,” Baldwin said. “If using a tall or deep container, fill it half full with empty plastic water bottles,” tightly capped, she said. “You won’t waste soil that the plants don’t need and that might even compromise their health by holding moisture that causes rot. Plus the pot will weigh less.” When choosing containers, determine first how large the plants will grow, Pettinelli said. “Either give plants that tend to grow a little larger and faster a larger and deeper container or plan on switching them out when the container looks out of proportion,” she said. Container plants should not be encouraged to grow too rapidly, so Pettinelli recommends using half-strength liquid fertilizers two or three times per year. “For succulents, I would use a cactus potting mix,” she said. “For all others, I would use a layer of coarse sand or gravel at the bottom and then a thin layer of horticultural charcoal.” Stick a finger into the potting soil to determine when to water, she said. “If it feels on the dry side, add some water. The soil should not be saturated but it should feel moistened. “I think watering properly is one of the most difficult tasks for people to learn,” Pettinelli said. Use whatever materials you have to accessorize — natural ones like rocks, lichens, sticks, acorns, small shells, or figurines and fairies, she said. “Because fairy gardens are still pretty popular, often local garden centers carry fairythemed and other small items suitable for dish gardens,” she said. Much of the fun in growing succulents is their adaptability, Baldwin said. “Give them adequate light, good air circulation and fastdraining soil and you can grow succulents in a pair of socks,” she said.

From packaging to clothing to cigarette butts, more and more everyday items that once were destined for landfills are being recycled, composted or upcycled in creative ways. Many of the new products made from waste are finding their way onto runways and into design museums and households. The company TerraCycle, for example, has devised ways of collecting waste like ocean plastics, cigarette butts, chewing gum and even dirty diapers, and then processing it so it can have a new life. “Waste is way more than figuring out how we can deal with a negative. It’s really rather exciting,” says TerraCycle’s CEO, Tom Szaky, who loves to put surprising trash items to use. Some of the company’s upcycled products, like tote bags made from juice pouches and laptop cases made out of retired US Mail bags, are sold online, by the retailer dwellsmart.com . Pittsburgh, New Orleans, San Francisco and dozens of other cities, partnering with TerraCycle, are finding it worthwhile to collect and process old cigarette butts and packaging, which is shredded, separating the ash, tobacco and paper from the plastic filters, Szaky says. The ash, tobacco and paper are then composted, and the plastic filters (made from cellulose acetate) are shredded, compounded and turned into plastic pellets to make a variety of products like park benches. The cigarette recycling program in the U.S. is financially supported by The Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, he says. Kiehl’s, Nespresso, Colgate, Tide, Brita and a host of other brands, meanwhile, are finding it advantageous to offer clients ways to recycle their packaging so that it doesn’t have to end up in landfills, an eco-friendly effort which gives them cachet among ecominded consumers.

Federal health care website up and running after slow start By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The federal website where consumers can get health insurance under the Affordable Care Act was up and running Thursday after a slow start as sign-up season for 2019 opened days before the midterm elections. During early morning hours, people accessing the site were directed to a screen that said work was underway. A recording at the HealthCare.gov call center conveyed a similar message. Things seemed to be running normally by about 9 a.m. EDT. With health care a major issue in Tuesday’s elections, this sign-up season under the Trump administration is getting close scrutiny. In earlier years, technical problems with the site created major headaches for the Obama administration. Some Democrats cited HealthCare.gov’s meltdown after its 2013 debut as

one of the reasons they lost control of the Senate the following year. Since those initial problems were fixed, the website serving people in 39 states has worked fairly smoothly, first under President Barack Obama and now under Donald Trump. The rest of the states and the District of Columbia run their own sign-ups. A spokesperson for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said Thursday morning that HealthCare.gov was open for business. Before the site went live for sign-ups at the start of a new coverage year, technicians had to load up details on thousands of changes in plans and premiums. “Prior to every open enrollment, final preparations must take place ahead of the start of the open enrollment period to ensure the website runs smoothly for consumers,” said a statement from the agency. The statement said the agency’s commitment had been that the site would be ready “in the morning.”

The health law’s sixth sign-up season began with stabilizing premiums and more choices for consumers. Nationally, average premiums are going up only by low single-digit percentages for 2019. In some states, and for some types of plans, premiums will decline. Fewer areas will see increases. Insurers also are expanding their participation. But Republicans have not backed off their pledge to fully repeal the health law, despite failing to do so in Trump’s first year. Still, other changes by the GOP-run Congress and the administration for next year may result in fewer people signing up. Congress did get rid of the unpopular requirement that most people carry health insurance or risk fines, starting Jan. 1. The administration has opened the way for insurers to offer alternatives to the law’s comprehensive coverage, including plans that don’t have to cover pre-existing conditions.

Democrats have made maintaining protections for pre-existing conditions a major issue in the elections, forcing Republicans on the defensive. They also accuse Trump of trying to “sabotage” the health law, and a core group of former Obama administration officials has kept close tabs on sign-up season. Despite all the political drama, enrollment has remained remarkably stable. About 10 million people have private policies through HealthCare.gov and state-run insurance markets, with roughly 9 in 10 getting taxpayer-financed help to pay their premiums. An estimated 12 million more are covered through the law’s Medicaid expansion, aimed at low-income adults. Income-based subsidies that protect consumers from high premiums remain available for next year, as has been the case since the overhaul went into effect. Open enrollment ends Dec. 15 for coverage starting Jan. 1.

Picking out a new sofa? Sites offer design advice for cheap By JOSEPH PISANI AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — Hiring an interior designer is expensive, and the chances of an HGTV host bursting through your doors are slim. But several sites have made it more affordable to get design help without anyone ever stepping inside your home. Havenly, Wayfair and others are charging less than $100 a room to connect users with an interior designer who can pick out a sofa, show you how to rearrange furniture or offer other design help. The sites also make money if you buy the furniture and other goods that the designers recommend. Even though you’ll have help from a designer, make sure you have a sense of what you do or don’t like. The sites depend on your survey responses to come up with a design plan. “You want to ensure you’re giving the designer an accurate representation of your taste so you receive a design that you’re happy with,” says Sara Skirboll, a shopping and trends expert at deal site RetailMeNot. Here’s what else you need to know:

WHO IT’S FOR Those who need help filling an empty room or sprucing up a den or bedroom with new lighting or pillows. It’s not for those who are seeking help with major renovations, like a bathroom or kitchen remodel.

WHAT IT COSTS A flat fee is typically charged per room. Prices differ: Havenly’s fees start at $55 for a design refresh and then up to $169 for a full room makeover. Wayfair offers a $79 and $149 option, and another site, Deco-

rist, charges $299 a room. Do an internet search for coupon codes since the sites often offer discounts to new users. Both Havenly and Decorist also allow people to ask designers questions for free through their sites, which is a good way to test the type of advice you’ll get before buying. And make sure to read what you’ll be getting. Some may not offer revisions, phone chats with designers or 3D layouts of what the items will look like in your room.

HOW IT WORKS After a quiz where you pick out styles and colors you like, you’ll be asked for room measurements, photos or videos of the room. You’ll be matched with a couple of interior designers and be able to look at pictures of their past work and select one of the designers. A budget can be set so that designers will know how much you’re willing to spend on new items. The sites say that they vet the designers, many of whom already have their own design firms and are looking to make extra cash or boost their cliental through the sites.

BUYING FURNITURE Havenly and Decorist recommends products from furniture sellers that it partners with, such as West Elm and CB2. Wayfair, meanwhile, recommends items from its own sites as well as other. Havenly gives those that paid for its design service a $50 credit if they buy $200 or more in goods. There’s no obligation to buy anything that the designers recommend, and you can use the advice to “find the exact item or a similar one at a lower price These images provided by Wayfair shows a design of a space that was done with design services. (Wayfair via AP) elsewhere,” says Skirboll. odor-proof bins to collect dirty diapers, which will then be recycled into their various components and re-

processed, Szaky says. Many firms are finding uses for recycled materials at the beginning of the design process. The company ReWall, for example, makes high-performance wall board, exterior and other architectural products out of unwanted packaging materials. ReWall recently worked with the architecture and design firm Bureau V and designer Mary Ping to come up with a futuristic tabletop as part of a commissioned artwork. “This was one of our first projects using upcycled materials, but it certainly won’t be our last,” says Peter Zuspan, founding principal at Bureau V. “It’s definitely the type of thing we’ll see more of in the future.” The tabletop was featured in one of two recent exhibits at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum that looked at ways in which items many people assume cannot be recycled are transformed. It includes Starbucks packaging, with the famous green logos barely visible in the swirls of pattern, and is part of the museum’s new exhibit, “Tablescapes: Designs for Dining.” Another show that originated at the Cooper Hewitt, “Scraps: Fashion, Textiles and Creative Reuse,” is on view at the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center in California through Jan. 14, 2019. It includes an array of textile works from three designers who give new life to waste materials that might otherwise have been thrown away. One of the designers, Christina Kim, cut up handwoven sari fabric to create a new clothing line. She then utilized every bit of the scraps in other products. The tiniest bits at the end of the process were turned into amulets to be used for necklaces. And interest in eco-friendly textiles is hardly limited to lesser-known designers. Big clothing labels like Everlane are making fashionable clothing out of recyclables (in their case a new line of jackets made from recycled PET bottles). “Designers are looking for alternative ways to produce things, and are paying more attention to what they produce them from,” says Matilda McQuaid, who organized the “Scraps” exhibit and heads the textiles department at Cooper Hewitt. “People in general are looking at materials in a very new way, with a much greater focus on sustainability.”

US home price gains weaken for 5th straight month By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — U.S. home price gains slowed for the fifth straight month in August as higher mortgage rates have lowered home sales. The S&P CoreLogic CaseShiller 20-city home price index, released Tuesday, increased 5.5 percent in August compared with a year earlier, down from a 5.9 percent gain in the previous month. The deceleration reflects a broader weakening in the nation’s housing market. Sales of existing homes have dropped for six straight months, and sales of new homes have fallen for the past four. Home price increases have run ahead of wage gains for five years and appear to have left many would-be buyers on the sidelines. Prices rose the most in Las Vegas, San Francisco and Seattle. But price gains have slowed compared with a year

earlier in 14 of the 20 cities tracked. The slowdown in housing shows little sign of becoming a broader crisis similar to what occurred in 2007. David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones, points out that mortgage defaults, which spiked in the housing bust, remain stable. Higher borrowing costs have raised monthly payments for new buyers, on top of rising home prices. Some of the biggest increases in mortgage rates occurred in September and October and there aren’t reflected in Tuesday’s data. That suggests that price gains will likely slow further in the coming months. The average 30-year fixed mortgage ticked up to 4.86 percent last week, from 4.85 percent the previous week. A year ago, it stood at 3.94 percent. “These challenges for buyers will continue to diminish affordability, taking a bite out of home sales and exert more

downward pressure on home prices,” said Cheryl Young, senior economist at real estate data provider Trulia. Home prices in Las Vegas jumped 13.9 percent from a year ago and rose 10.6 percent in San Francisco. Seattle’s home values increased 9.6

percent, the first time its gains have fallen below double-digits since December 2015. The slowest increases were in Washington, D.C. and New York City, with 2.8 percent each, followed by Chicago with 2.9 percent.

to the elements or become outdated and unappealing to prospective buyers. Fall has become a season that’s synonymous with home improvement, but homeowners need not wait until the leaves begin changing colors to start planning their next projects.

Fast & Effective Results

Less precipitation tends to fall during the warmer months than during the late fall and winter. As a result, homeowners may not be aware of leaky roofs until autumn has come and gone. But waiting until winter to inspect the roof can prove disastrous, as weather conditions will not be conducive to inspection and increased precipitation may result in potentially costly damage. Leaky roofs can be easily identified by looking for water stains on interior ceilings. Once you see a stain, you can climb onto the roof to identify the location of the leak and fix it before winter rains and snowfall turn the problem into something much larger. Inspect your ceilings for signs of leaking after a strong rainfall, and then address any leaks immediately.

Gutter cleaning While some homeowners prefer to delay their gutter cleaning projects until late fall, those whose homes are surrounded by trees may need to schedule two such projects. Gutters clogged with leaves and other debris can cause serious roof damage, and that damage can extend all the way inside a home. In addition, clogged gutters make great nesting areas for insects or critters. Always stand on a ladder when cleaning gutters, wearing gloves to remove items by hand and dropping leaves and debris into a trash can below. Standing on the roof and leaning over gutters greatly increases your risk of injury. If the gutters are clear when you first examine them in early fall, you can wait until later in the season to give them a complete and thorough cleaning. Once you have finished clearing the gutters, you can use a hose to run water through them and the downspouts to confirm everything is functioning properly.

Window and doorway inspection Before temperatures start dropping once again, homeowners will want to inspect their windows and doorways for leaks. Over time, cracks can develop around windows and doorways, and while such

cracks are rarely noticeable when the weather outside is warm, they can be quite obvious and very costly if they remain unsealed come the start of winter. Cold air can enter a home through cracks around windows and doorways, and many homeowners who don’t suspect leaks may respond by turning up the thermostats in their homes. That can prove quite expensive over a full winter. Choose a windy autumn day to place a hand by windows and external doorways in your home to see if you can feel drafts. If you can, seal these cracks as soon as possible.

Patio cleanup Patios are popular hangouts during spring and summer, and that can result in a lot of wear and tear. Once you store patio furniture for the winter, inspect your entire patio to determine if it needs any refurbishing. While certain patio projects may be best left for spring, you can still clean any stained areas around the grill and look for cracks in the sidewalk that need to be addressed. Preparing for fall home improvement projects ahead of time can help homeowners complete projects in a timely manner and ensures they won’t be forced to brave the winter elements when refurbishing their homes.

Gum, bottled water, pizza bagels want to be called ‘healthy’ By CANDICE CHOI AP Food & Health Writer

NEW YORK — Pizza bagels, chewing gum and bottled water want to play a starring new role in our diets: Foods that can be called healthy. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is revamping its definition of healthy to reflect our changing understanding of nutrition science. The push is fueling debate about eating habits and what the new standard should say. Frozen food-makers are seeking special rules for “mini meals,” citing little pizza bagels and dumplings as examples that might qualify. Chewing gum and bottled water companies say they should no longer be shut out from using the term just because their products don’t provide nutrients. Advocacy groups and health professionals are also weighing in, raising concerns about ingredients like sugar. Some say the word healthy is inherently misleading when applied to a single product instead of an overall diet. “The problem is that healthy is relative,” said Bruce Y. Lee, a professor of international health at Johns Hopkins. Subsisting on broccoli alone, for instance, wouldn’t be healthy. The federal standards for use of the word “healthy” on labels was established in 1994 and set limits on total fat and cholesterol.

Susan Mayne, who heads the FDA’s food labeling division, said the definition reflects decades-old understanding of nutrition and needs to be updated. With the revamp, she said people will be able to trust the word “healthy” is based in science, unlike many other terms on packages. “This is one that the federal agencies will stand behind,” she said.

NUTTY HEALTH The government’s dusty definition of healthy came under scrutiny in late 2015, when the FDA warned Kind that its snack bars had too much fat to use the term. Kind pushed back, saying the fat came from nuts. Since the rule was established more than two decades ago, nutrition experts have drawn a greater distinction between “good fats” like those found in nuts and “bad fats” like the trans fats in oils that are partially hydrogenated, an industrial process that gives foods a longer shelf life. The link between dietary cholesterol and heart disease is also no longer clear. Separate U.S. dietary guidelines , which are updated every five years, no longer set limits on total fat or cholesterol. They still recommend avoiding trans fats and limiting saturated fats, such as those found in meat and milk. But even the link between

saturated fats and heart disease is now questioned . Now sugar has become more of a concern, with some health experts saying our past fear of fat led to people gobbling up low-fat products high in sugar. The shifting views reflect the pitfalls of nutrition science. Most food studies are based on links between what people say they eat and their health, which leaves the door open for flawed conclusions . Pinning down cause-and-effect relationships is harder. It’s why the effort to redefine “healthy” invites such debate. After launching the push in late 2016, the FDA received more than 1,140 public comments on the matter. The next step is for the FDA to propose a new definition, which would be subject to an- This file photo shows Kind snack bars on display at a supermarket in New York.

Yale psychologist, game developer partner for anxiety study By CLAIRE DIGNAN New Haven Register

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — In a novel approach to clinical study, a game developer and a Yale University psychologist developed a game for measuring avoidance in anxiety disorders. Eli Lebowitz, assistant professor in the Child Study Center at Yale and associate director of the Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, wanted a new way to study avoidance behaviors in people that was more reliable than traditional methods, so he took his concept of using motion tracking to PreviewLabs, a rapid game prototyping company, whose founder and CEO Bernard Francois turned concept into a working program. Lebowitz studies anxietyrelated disorders, primarily in children and adolescents, and central to that study is measuring avoidance because when anxiety or fear is triggered, it makes a person avoid doing what is safe (and even necessary). “The real problem is not that I’m afraid of the thing; it’s that I start avoiding a variety of situations that make me fear,” Lebowitz said. “Avoidance is germane and central to anxiety disorders, but it’s also a challenge because it’s a nonbehavior. It’s not like measuring a heartbeat. We’re talking about a behavior that (a person is) not doing.” Lebowitz had the idea to use motion-tracking technology to study avoidance because there seemed no simpler way to see how people avoid what they’re afraid of than to see what they physically stay away from. He took the concept to rapid game

prototyping company PreviewLabs, and Yale Interactive Kinect Environment Software (YIKES) was born. “This game is really simple but it has a big impact,” Francois said. “It’s something we can be proud of because it has a big impact on researchers.” In the game, participants see themselves as players on a screen and need to move back and forth between two images that stimulate feelings of fear or safety in the person in order to catch falling balls and earn points. In Lebowitz’s study, he used traditional stimuli — spiders and angry faces of people — but any images relevant to what the person avoids can be used. Historically, researchers use interviews and questionnaires to measure avoidance, but problems present themselves because that subjective measure tends to be inaccurate, Lebowitz said. Responses are biased by how participants understand the questions and what they consider normal. Their responses are only good for the day they’re taking the assessment because a person’s memory of how they felt isn’t reliable, he said. “We developed it to be more game-like so we wouldn’t focus the participant on the study, but on the task,” Lebowitz said. “One of the best things about YIKES is it’s fun to do. That means they’re focused on the fun behavior rather than the question we’re asking. It’s a very immersive, natural intuitive experience.” YIKES also opens up Lebowitz’s study to people where verbal communication is challenging, such as in children, people on the autism spectrum or those who aren’t fluent in the

researcher’s language — doing away with interview-style limitations. With the program, Lebowitz could measure how fast people were walking, how close they went to the images, how soon they turned away from it, and use the data as a good predictor of other clinical characteristics, he said. Through a recently published peer-reviewed paper, Lebowitz and Francois show YIKES measures avoidance behaviors accurately and effectively in a way traditional methods can’t. They were also able to measure progress of children in cognitive behavioral therapy and see whether their anxiety issues decreased after therapy. Now that Lebowitz and Francois have developed this program and tested its validity, YIKES can sit on a shelf for any researcher to take down and use, Lebowitz said. PreviewLabs began in Francois’ living room in Belgium with his fascination for game creation and conceptualizing. Since 2010, lab projects have become wide-ranging — one was a forklift training game that uses virtual reality technology to take the player through a safety training for warehouse workers; another project called Buggy Blasters was the first multiplayer game available in the Microsoft store for HoloLens, a holographic computer that projects games and other software into physical space to create a “mixed reality.” “We use the same tech used for games and make prototypes for other applications that use that technology,” Francois said. PreviewLabs clients come from 16 countries, including France, Israel, Belgium, the U.K. and the United States.

PreviewLabs rapidly prototypes games for clients working in medicine, education, research and technology. When Francois and his team finish, they’ve made a playable game concept with the help of the client’s input and feedback. They turn the client’s initial idea into a working prototype. Having a playable game to test lets clients see if their concept is good. YIKES was the first project PreviewLabs collaboratioon with Yale, but they’ve worked several times over the years on other applications, such as developing an artillery-style game that teaches calculus by way of two people battling each other using function graphs. Motion-tracking technology has recently developed, but its use in a research study is “not something I’ve heard before,” Francois said. “There’s definite
