In the news
Hillary Clinton endorses Begich Hillary Clinton has endorsed Mark Begich for governor. In an announcement Monday morning on Twitter, Clinton announced her support for a slate of Democratic governor candidates across the United States. Among them was Mark Begich, the Democratic candidate for Alaska governor. “Governors set the tone and direction for their states. They’re also our last line of defense against some of the Trump administration’s worst policies. So pick a candidate— or two or three—and help flip one of these 17 races,” Clinton wrote. About Begich, she wrote, “(Mark Begich) is a dedicated public servant, business owner, and former U.S. senator who has a record of cutting through bureaucracy to get things done for Alaskans. In office, he’ll prioritize schools, jobs, and affordable health care.” Clinton’s endorsement follows a similar one by the winner of the 2016 election, President Donald Trump. Last week, Trump endorsed Republican governor candidate Mike Dunleavy. Support from Clinton is not expected to affect the race significantly. Clinton lost Alaska’s Democratic primary to Bernie Sanders, and she received only 36.55 percent of the vote in the 2016 general election. — Juneau Empire
North Slope Borough police: Searching for man in shooting ANCHORAGE — North Slope Borough police are searching for a man in connection with a shooting, saying he is considered armed and dangerous. Police have released few details of the Sunday morning shooting in Utqiagvik other than they are seeking Asiagin Dana Ahmaogak as a person of interest in the shooting. Borough police announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to Ahmaogak’s arrest. A release by the mayor’s office indicated there was more than one shooting, but did not provide further details. Police referred questions to the mayor’s office. Borough Mayor Harry Brower Jr. says in a statement released Monday that he was “deeply troubled to learn of the recent shootings.” — Associated Press

Community weighs in League of Women Voters hosts forum on Ballot Measure 1 By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
The League of Women Voters hosted a forum last week to help inform voters on Alaska Ballot Measure 1. Kaitlin Vadla and Laura Rhyne from Cook Inletkeeper spoke in support of the Stand for Salmon campaign. Owen Phillips from Stand for Alaska and Linda Hutchings from Stand for the Kenai Peninsula spoke in opposition of Alaska Ballot Measure 1. In their opening statements, they told the crowd about their connection to Alaska and salmon. Vadla, who grew up in Clam Gulch, said she continues to live in Alaska because she loves it here. She said she wants development to be done responsibly. “I think this is just a common sense initiative. “I hunt, fish, spend a lot of time outside,” Vadla said. “I live here because of the incredible quality of life we have here.” Rhyne said she grew up in Alaska and left for college. She said she left for college and came back even more grateful for the state she calls home. “If we want to protect the things we love it’s not enough

Homer voters to decide on plastic bag ban By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News
A proposition on whether or not to prohibit Homer retailers from giving out single-use plastic bags will once again be on the ballot. The bag-ban vote came during Homer Mayor Ken Castner’s first time running a Homer City Council meeting at its regular meeting on Monday, Oct. 22. As a new mayor but with a council the same as the past year, Castner on several occasions ran into opposition with the council, losing on 6-0 votes on matters he’d proposed.
In the bag ban, the council passed a substitute ordinance, 18-43(S), that lets voters decide at the October 2019 regular election if they want to reinstate prohibiting use of the thin plastic bags commonly given out at grocery stores. The council in 2012 passed a ban, only to see it overturned by a vote put forth by citizen initiative. On Sept. 24, council member Caroline Venuti originally introduced an ordinance to ban bags outright by council action. “I think it’s important that it actually goes back to the voters,” said council member
Shelly Erickson. “The feedback I’ve gotten from many people is they’ve spoken on this. I think that they need to be given the opportunity to speak on it again.” In a 5-1 vote, with council member Tom Stroozas voting no, the council approved substituting the by-council ordinance with the by-voter ordinance. In a 4-2 vote, with council member Heath Smith voting no with Stroozas, the council then approved that substitute ordinance. According to the ordinances, the proposed ban would only prohibit sellers from pro-
Walker’s support for Begich ‘narrow’ By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire
When he gave a speech announcing his withdrawal from the election, Gov. Bill Walker told his audience that they should support Democratic candidate Mark Begich. On Monday, Walker’s campaign said the incumbent’s support of Begich has its limits. In a message to supporters, Walker campaign spokeswoman Lindsay Hobson wrote, “Independent expenditure groups are running advertisements that go far beyond the scope of these areas of alignment into areas where I am not necessarily aligned with Mr. Begich. I have asked that these ads be immediately edited or removed. However, anyone with questions as to where I stand on the issues of this election should look solely to my statement on October 19.” By phone, Hobson said the message refers to a minute-long radio ad that included Walker’s support for Begich and touched on Begich’s support for abortion
viding “single-use plastic carryout bags” that are less than 2.25 mills thick, sometimes called “T-shirt bags.” That means Homer stores will still be able to use any plastic bag as long as it’s thicker than 2.25 mils. The ban also would not apply to the small bags inside a store used to carry produce and other small items or to bags used to collect dog poop. During Homer’s first bag ban, thicker plastic bags were offered for sale at Safeway. Homer was the first city on the Kenai Peninsula to ban bags. Now, if it comes to fruition a second time, Homer
would be the second peninsula city to enact a bag ban after Soldotna, whose new policy takes effect Nov. 1. There have also been bans passed in several other Alaska cities and villages, including Anchorage, where all soft plastic bags are banned, and Wasilla, which only bans thin singleuse bags under 2.25 mils. In a second public hearing on the bag ban on Monday, most people spoke in favor of the ban, or at least of putting it to a citizen vote. “I hope we all can agree to respect this incredible planet,” See BAG, page A2
Dem senator denies endorsing Dunleavy By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire
A Democratic senator from Anchorage is asking a campaign backing Republican governor candidate Mike Dunleavy to stop using his voice and picture in proDunleavy ads. In a press release Monday, Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, said the Dunleavy for Alaska independent expenditure group “never asked my permission to use my name or image in In this Sept. 6 file photo, Democratic nominee for governor of its ads.

state’s traditional formula for distributing the Permanent Fund Dividends. For years, he has unsuccessfully attempted to garner legislative support for a constitutional amendment preserving the dividend. In 2016, he led a charge to overturn Gov. Bill Walker’s partial veto of the dividend, and after the Legislature declined to override that veto, he sued the state, arguing that the veto was unconstitutional. The Alaska Supreme Court disagreed with the interpretation offered by Wielechowski and upheld Walker’s veto. In the legislative session that followed, Dunleavy joined Wielechowski in support of constitutional protections for the dividend. Before the veto, Dunleavy had consistently voted in opposition. “He came around to my view. For five years, he didn’t have my view,” Wielechowski said, adding See DEM, page A2

that he came to appreciate Dunleavy’s support in the Senate. In an interview earlier this year with KFQD-AM’s Dave Stieren, Wielechowski talked about that support and said they agreed on the Permanent Fund and “a few other issues.” In the interview, which took place after Dunleavy’s resignation from the Senate, Wielechowski said he missed having Dunleavy in Juneau. Clips from that interview are being used in pro-Dunleavy ads. “I was specifically asked, is this an endorsement of Mike Dunleavy? I laughed at that,” Wielechowski said by phone. “I like Mike Dunleavy. I like him personally … but I don’t support him, and in my book, that’s the end of the story.” Some ads incorporate a 2014 picture of Dunleavy, Wielechowski and Alaska political blogger Jeff Landfield. Until 4 p.m. Monday, the ad used on the group’s website had cropped Landfield to exclude him and move Dunleavy and Wielechowski closer together. “For me, it’s funny,” Landfield said by phone.

In a press release following Wielechowski’s request, Dunleavy for Alaska manager Terre Gales called Wielechowski’s statements a “ridiculous media stunt” and said the group will continue to run its ads in accordance with the law. “Dunleavy for Alaska legal consel will respond to Mr. Wielechowski, and any attempts on his part to interfere with DFA’s media contracts will be met with swift legal action,” the group’s statement read. Gales did not respond to an email or a phone call seeking comment. Matt Singer, an attorney representing Dunleavy for Alaska, said, “This is a publicity stunt. It’s not a serious legal issue.” The nearest precedent may be the 2014 U.S. Senate campaign featuring Mark Begich and Dan Sullivan. In that race, the Begich campaign ran advertisements featuring the likeness of U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and touted his bipartisan cooperation with Murkowski. Murkowski responded by appearing in an ad promoting Sullivan, then held a press conference to denounce Begich’s ads. “It seems like the same play,” Singer said. “It’s just not a serious issue. That’s my perspective.”

said Roberta Highland, speaking for the Kachemak Bay Conservation Society. “… By 2050 there will be more plastics by pound than fish if we don’t change our practices.” Henry Reiske, an educator on recycling and marine debris at the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies, urged the council not to delay and vote for a ban now. “Getting rid of plastic bags will not be the solution, but it is the beginning,” he said. “It’s just common sense this kind of poison should not be allowed anymore,” said John Sharp. He noted that in Hawaii plastic could be found in sand. “While the people in this
room might not see that, the younger generation will,” he said. Cassie Lawver said she uses reusable bags, but that she’s not for or against the ban. “I think this should go to the voters,” she said. “… You put it on the ballot; we vote. That’s the way it is.” Connor Schmidt urged the council “to start managing solutions and not managing problems.” Smith, who voted against both substituting the ordinance and the council putting it to a vote by the people, said he felt it would be better for the people to bring the issue to the ballot through an initiative, as they did with the repeal. He said the council shouldn’t pass it alone. “You frame your narrative; you help bring along your neighbor,” he said.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, Oct. 30, the 303rd day of 2018. There are 62 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 30, 1735 (New Style calendar), the second president of the United States, John Adams, was born in Braintree, Massachusetts. On this date: In 1912, Vice President James S. Sherman, running for a second term of office with President William Howard Taft, died six days before Election Day. (Sherman was replaced with Nicholas Murray Butler, but Taft, the Republican candidate, ended up losing in an Electoral College landslide to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.) In 1944, the Martha Graham ballet “Appalachian Spring,” with music by Aaron Copland, premiered at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., with Graham in a leading role. In 1945, the U.S. government announced the end of shoe rationing, effective at midnight. In 1953, Gen. George C. Marshall was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. Albert Schweitzer received the Peace Prize for 1952. In 1961, the Soviet Union tested a hydrogen bomb, the “Tsar Bomba,” with a force estimated at about 50 megatons. The Soviet Party Congress unanimously approved a resolution ordering the removal of Josef Stalin’s body from Lenin’s tomb. In 1972, 45 people were killed when an Illinois Central Gulf commuter train was struck from behind by another train on Chicago’s South Side. In 1974, Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the eighth round of a 15-round bout in Kinshasa, Zaire (zah-EER’), known as the “Rumble in the Jungle,” to regain his world heavyweight title. In 1975, the New York Daily News ran the headline “Ford to City: Drop Dead” a day after President Gerald R. Ford said he would veto any proposed federal bailout of New York City. In 1979, President Carter announced his choice of federal appeals judge Shirley Hufstedler to head the newly created Department of Education. In 1985, schoolteacher-astronaut Christa McAuliffe witnessed the launch of the space shuttle Challenger, the same craft that would carry her and six other crew members to their deaths in Jan. 1986. In 1995, by a razor-thin vote of 50.6 percent to 49.4 percent, Federalists prevailed over separatists in a Quebec secession referendum. In 2002, Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell), a rapper with the hip-hop group Run-DMC, was killed in a shooting in New York. He was 37. Ten years ago: A federal jury in Miami convicted the son of former Liberian President Charles Taylor in the first case brought under a 1994 U.S. law allowing prosecution for torture and atrocities committed overseas. (Charles McArthur Emmanuel was later sentenced to 97 years in prison.) Five years ago: President Barack Obama claimed “full responsibility” for fixing his administration’s troubled health insurance website, while on Capitol Hill, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius apologized to frustrated people trying to sign up, declaring that she was accountable for the failures but also defended the historic health care overhaul. The government said the deficit for the 2013 budget year totaled $680.3 billion, down from $1.09 trillion in 2012. The Boston Red Sox romped to their third World Series championship in 10 seasons, thumping the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6 at Fenway. One year ago: Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and a former Manafort business associate, Rick Gates, were indicted on felony charges including conspiracy against the United States as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election revealed its first targets. A former Trump campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, admitted he lied to the FBI about his contacts with Russians. At his sentencing hearing, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl apologized to the military personnel who were wounded searching for him after he walked off his post in Afghanistan in 2009.

Sharon Parker October 19, 2018
It is with a heavy heart the family of Sharon Parker announces her passing on October 19th, 2018 after a long illness. In her last days, she was surrounded by the love of her four children. Sharon was preceded in death by her mother and father, Roland and Wilma Hollingsworth of Placerville and her two brothers, Ira Douglass and Lee Roland Hollingsworth. She is survived by her children Adam Parker, Aaron Parker, Jacqueline Parker and Stephanie Cornthwaite. She was blessed with eight beautiful grandchildren and seven amazing great grandchildren. Services will be held Saturday, November 17th, in Selma, CA. To honor Sharon’s love for cocker spaniels, in lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Camp Cocker Rescue (http://www.campcocker.com/where-donations-go/).

which is why it is important to have a governor who is willing to veto such legislation. While the Walker campaign contacted the group behind the ad over the weekend, it issued a statement because some Alaskans had already heard it, she said. “The governor’s support of Mark Begich — it’s narrow,” Hobson said. While Walker and Begich “do see eye to eye on the economy, the (Permanent Fund Dividend), the gasline … on other issues, they do not see eye to eye, and to take that narrow scope of support and extend it to a universal endorsement is inappropriate,” she said. On Oct. 19 at the Alaska Federation of Natives conference in Anchorage, Walker declared that it had “become clear we cannot win a three-way race” and “Alaskans deserve a competitive race. Alaskans deserve a choice other than Mike Dunleavy.” He warned that Dunleavy’s election would mean the elimination of an expanded Medicaid program, an end to the proposed trans-Alaska natural gas pipeline

hand with Native communities, governmental departments, industry and our communities to ensure a safe and robust habitat for all of our fish and wildlife,” Hutchings said. Phillips is a third generation Soldotnan. He said he was initially worried about getting caught up in the divisive campaign. “I went to study in Georgetown, but I missed home,” Phillips said. “After reading the initiative I realized I could not allow something so poorly written to be enacted into law, so I decided to return home.” The moderator asked Rhyne what the most compelling reasons to vote for Prop 1 are. Rhyne began by noting that the current law is over 60 years old, and was written when Alaska became a state. She said that nowhere in state statute is “proper protection” defined. “The interpretation is very open to the current administration, whoever the current commissioner of Alaska Fish and Game is, who your local habitat biologist is…” Rhyne said. “We’ve got guidelines for this, but there’s no statutory definition for proper protection.” Hutchings responded to Rhyne and said there are many other state and federal regulations that control fish habitat. “Saying our fish protection comes down to two words is not right,” Hutchings said. Phillips responded and said there are some good ideas in Alaska Ballot Measure 1, including the major and minor permit system. However, he said he does not believe that anadromous habitat should include seasonal water bodies and other various things that pop up rather than lakes streams, rivers that we know and define
and a reversal of “the bipartisan approved sustained fiscal plan.” Walker’s campaign has told supporters to take down their yard signs, but a spokeswoman for the Begich campaign said by email that interaction between the two groups has been minimal. “Some staff reached out during transition either about logistics like yard signs or potential volunteer opportunities,” wrote Nora Morse by email, adding in a subsequent message that there have been no high-level conversations. In the days since Walker’s withdrawal from the race, Begich has seen a surge in fundraising support, though he still trails Republican candidate Mike Dunleavy by a significant amount. Dunleavy is supported by several multimillion-dollar independent expenditure groups, such as Dunleavy for Alaska, which had spent $915,000 by Oct. 5, and the Republican Governors’ Association-backed Families for Alaska’s Future, which had reported $2.7 million in contributions by Oct. 8. Begich is seeing some support from a group that formerly backed Walker. The indpendent group called Unite Alaska for Walker transferred more than a quarter-million dollars to a new group calling itself Alaskans Opposing Dunleavy. as natural habitat. He also said the appeals process allows any interested party to enter into an appeals party on any permit. “That seems like a big hurdle to get through, especially if it’s someone just doing a project in their backyard,” Phillips said. Vadla said the update is important for many reasons. She said right now, none of these permits are noticed and there is no comment period for them. “I think we should at least know what’s going on,” Vadla said. She also said the initiative adds in a bonding requirement for big projects that have disasters. “It makes it more likely that a big project will clean up a disaster that they caused, and the burden won’t be on taxpayers,” Vadla said. “We’ve seen that in lots of places in Alaska and outside of Alaska.” The moderator asked Vadla what she liked and didn’t like about the proposed two-tier system for permitting. She said the new system is just an update of the current law. “Right now if you’re putting in a dock or if you’re Pebble Mine and trying to put in a mine near Bristol Bay, it’s the same permit,” Vadla said. “We agree some projects need more scrutiny and some need to move quickly in our backyard.” Rhyne said another major improvement is with transparency regarding major permits. Hutchings responded and said she looked at the issue by considering the future development of her own properties that contain bodies of water. “We have the Kenai River, and we have a piece of property there that we have not developed,” Hutchings said. “If we wanted to develop we would go to the Kenai River Center and all the permitting agencies to establish that. I don’t really have a problem with Kenai River, but with Sport Lake I do. Sport Lake

However, he emphasized that the execution needs to be more detailed. “The idea that all of these permits are going to receive the same amount of scrutiny is baffling to me,” Phillips said. “There’s no way something going on the Kenai River is going to receive the same amount of microscoping that the Pebble Mine project has.” The moderator asked the panelists where the money behind the campaigns comes from, and how it might be impacting voters. Rhyne said the Stand for Salmon initiative is a grassroots movement, and that most of the money raised has come from over 1,700 Alaskans. “We don’t have a lot of money,” Rhyne said. “The ‘no’ campaign has out raised us 10 to one.” Hutchings said the outside companies supporting the “no” campaign have been supporting Alaska communities for 50 years. “These are companies that It only takes a few minutes… Did you know? are invested in your commu1.

What Others Say
Voting should be accessible to all … Georgia’s “Exact Match”
legislation that has called into question the right to vote of more than 50,000 registered voters is unreasonable, creates an unnecessary burden and amounts to voter suppression. And now, an American Public Media report says more than half a million people were removed from Georgia’s voter rolls last summer with 107,000 of those being removed simply because they had not voted in recent elections. That number is in addition to the Exact Match enforcement that questions the legitimacy of tens of thousands of registered voters. Exact Match means there can be no variations on voter registration forms, even slight differences between your driver’s license and registration form. At least three lawsuits have been filed accusing Secretary of State Brian Kemp and the state of Georgia of suppressing voter turnout, especially among black Georgians. The irony, of course, is Kemp is asking voters to make him Georgia’s next governor. We believe Kemp should issue a strong statement directing election commissioners and poll workers to use common sense during early voting and on Election Day — realizing that slight variations are not voter fraud. Do not deny lawfully registered voters their basic right to vote because of some minor variation on their registration. It does not matter if you are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or completely independent, everyone should want legally registered voters to have their voices heard in every election. That is democracy in action. At issue is this Exact Match law being strictly interpreted and enforced by Kemp’s secretary of state office, calling into question the voter registration of 53,000 people, the vast majority of them black. To be clear, the registration caveat is not new. The system was used in previous elections when Kemp was not on the ballot. Kemp employed the practice until it was challenged in court. After the court challenge, state lawmakers changed election law to allow for Exact Match. So, to be fair, the practice is not some unilateral action by Kemp. The Georgia General Assembly, controlled by a Republican majority, passed the bill and Gov. Nathan Deal signed it. The Secretary of State’s office oversees elections and several groups called on Kemp to step down when he announced his bid for governor. Despite the fact 53,000 voter registration forms are under a cloud because personal information on Social Security cards may not be an exact match with driver’s licenses, Kemp has said it does not mean the affected people cannot vote. The secretary of state argues the status of voter registrations is still “pending” and those people can vote by showing proper identification at the polling place or when requesting absentee ballots. The intention seems to be to root out voter fraud. However, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Georgia. No reliable studies have demonstrated that voter fraud has risen to the levels that it could change the outcome of elections anywhere in the nation. So, it begs the question: Why go over registration forms with a fine-tooth comb looking for slight misspellings, abbreviated forms of given names (eg. John instead of Jonathan or Jim instead of James), missed hyphens or misplaced digits in a street address? Such small irregularities do not amount to fraud and should never disqualify a citizen from voting in an election. Shouldn’t we do everything we can to encourage voter registration and turnout? It is estimated 7 million people could vote in this hotly contested governor’s race. Still, voter turnout in Georgia is consistently below national averages. Turnout among minority communities historically has lagged far behind, so creating another barrier — a hoop for people of color to jump through in order to cast their ballots — is wrong.
Instead of conflicts, conversation
Just in time for Halloween comes a former male stripper, who drove a van with Trump stickers plastered all over it, being charged with sending pipe bombs to top Democratic leaders, a journalist and at least one celebrity, all of whom have been vocal critics of President Trump. The New York Post headline was the cleverest: “Caught Red Hatted: Steroidabusing Florida stripper driving Trump van is charged with Dem bomb spree.” The Post reported that the accused, Cesar Sayoc Jr., was said to be lost and a “sick individual” who is estranged from his family, but eventually “found a father” in President Trump. He also hates his mother, according to Ronald Lowy, his Miami attorney. Well, yes, you wouldn’t expect a stable individual who loves his mother to do what Sayoc is accused of doing. Predictably, many of those who were targets of Sayoc’s pipe bombs, some of which were incapable of exploding, are blaming President Trump for inciting people like Sayoc to go beyond verbal attacks and engage in dangerous, unlawful behavior. Some on the right point to language used by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), former Attorney General Eric Holder, former President Barack Obama and others (the New York Times published a review
Letters to the Editor Serve Your Country In my opinion, many Americans find Trump to be a divisive president who fertilizes false beliefs throughout the nation with his lies. I remind them they have a couple of options to show their disdain. First, they should be writing their congressionally elected representatives and informing them of decisions Trump has made or intends to make and providing their objections to congressional support. Second, they need to vote these people out of office if they don’t stand up and object. I know I elected people to fill these positions. Now, I wonder if they haven’t morphed into lemmings. Americans should all look back upon history. In the words of Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.”
of a novel, the plot of which revolves around the assassination of President Trump with the aid of a rogue Secret Service agent). Those conservatives claim that left-wing rhetoric is Cal Thomas mostly responsible for widening the political divide and polluting civil debate. How about each side taking responsibility for its own language and behavior? People attending Trump rallies dislike big media, but their rants haven’t changed what conservatives believe is biased reporting. Why don’t some in the Trump crowd invite a reporter to lunch and calmly explain their feelings and political points of view? On the left, why don’t some of those people confronting Republicans out for a quiet dinner with family and friends respectfully ask for an appointment to explain why they oppose Republican and conservative ideas and offer their own proposals for making America better? Whose mind is changed when their dinner is interrupted by people accusing them of treason? As a conservative, I understand the anger felt by many on my side about the way
our political positions, faith and worldview are portrayed by the media and wider culture, but behaving as conservatives sometimes do only reinforces long-held stereotypes in the minds of secular progressives who think of us as uneducated Bible-thumpers, intolerant, judgmental and a “basket of deplorables.” While many in mainstream media deplore everything for which the right stands, I think they secretly enjoy the conflict because it boosts ratings and sells newspapers. Conflict always attracts a larger audience than comity, but that is no excuse for contributing to the conflict. Our anger at government and politicians solves nothing. The country is divided. It has always been that way. The focus should be not on winning a war of words, which is impossible so long as the name-calling continues; the focus should be on winning the battle of ideas and what works best in promoting the welfare of most Americans. If that sounds naive in our polarized environment, what would you suggest? Clearly, what we are engaged in now isn’t working. As the late Glen Campbell sang, “Try a little kindness.” It’s better than sending bombs through the mail. It’s also better than behaving rudely in restaurants.

Save our salmon Wild salmon were once abundant on several continents for many centuries. The only place on the planet that wild salmon still survive is in Alaska.

Separation of church and state We have respect for individuals’ belief in some form of spiritual guidance in their personal lives.

Thompson breaks 3s record By The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Klay Thompson broke teammate Stephen Curry’s NBA record with 14 3-pointers and finished with 52 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 149-124 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. Thompson set the mark when he nailed a 3 with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter. He was then mobbed by teammates as the players headed to the sideline for a timeout, with the Warriors leading 113-69. Curry hit 13 3-pointers in a win over New Orleans on Nov. 7, 2016. Thompson played only 27 minutes and sat out the fourth quarter.

Patriots’ defense shuts down Bills in prime time ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Devin McCourty returned an interception 84 yards for a touchdown, and the New England Patriots’ defense smothered the Buffalo Bills’ anemic offense in a 25-6 win on Monday night. James White scored on a 1-yard run, and the Patriots relied more on Stephen Gostkowski’s leg than on Tom Brady’s arm for their fifth straight win, which improved their AFC East-leading record to 6-2. Brady finished 29 of 45 for 324 yards, but was held without a touchdown pass for the first time this season. Gostkowski hit four of five fieldgoal attempts, including two from 25 yards after New England drives stalled inside Buffalo’s 10. “They made it tough on us,” Brady said. “We couldn’t get anything going in the red zone, not enough positive
plays down there.” McCourty sealed the win with 5:54 remaining by intercepting Derek Anderson’s pass over the middle intended for Charles Clay and taking it to the end zone. Two plays before the pick, Bills tight end Jason Croom’s diving onehanded touchdown catch was negated following a video review. Replays clearly showed Croom never had possession in attempting to make the 25yard catch, which would have made it a one-score game. McCourty’s interception also came after White scored to cap a 10-play, 85-yard drive to put New England ahead 18-6 with 9:58 remaining. “I felt like once our offense got one in the end zone, it was big for us to go out there and try to get a stop,” Mc-

Flames toast Toronto By The Associated Press
TORONTO — Sean Monahan and Elias Lindholm scored in a 55-second span of the third period to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night. Lindholm and Monahan each added an assist as Calgary snapped a three-game losing streak. Michael Frolik added an empty-net goal to seal it. Mike Smith made 24 saves. CANUCKS 5, WILD 2 VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Rookie Elias Pettersson scored two goals and Vancouver snapped a two-game losing streak. Pettersson, whose second goal came on a breakaway in the third period, now has seven goals in seven games. He leads all NHL rookies in goals and points with 10. Markus Granlund and Jake Virtanen also scored for the Canucks, who ended the Wild’s five-game winning streak. Ben Hutton scored into an empty net with 39.1 seconds remaining.

Courty said. “And it ended up being a turnover for a touchdown.” Buffalo lost its third straight and dropped to 2-6 for its worst start since opening the 2010 season with eight losses. Credit the Bills’ defense for not playing the role of the expected pushover against a Brady-led offense that had scored 38 or more points in each of its past four games. “You come out and you hold those guys to one touchdown and still can’t get a win. It’s tough, man,” Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White said. Buffalo’s problem continued to be an offense that has managed just 87 points this season, and was held to under seven points for the fourth time. Stephen Hauschka accounted for the scoring by hitting field goals from 51
and 47 yards. “It’s clearly not good enough,” coach Sean McDermott said of his sputtering offense. “I thought the defense came out and played well at times. Offensively, we shot ourselves in the foot a little bit there, and just couldn’t get it going enough.” Anderson was escorted off the field with 1:25 left when he was sacked by Kyle Van Noy. Anderson was making his second start in place of rookie Josh Allen, who’s listed as week to week with a sprained elbow on his throwing arm.
Haslam made his fourth coaching change since 2012 by firing Hue Jackson, who won just three of 40 games over two-plus seasons and then lost his job because of a feud with offensive coordinator Todd Haley that went public and threatened to turn a promising season into another one of those Cleveland catastrophes. Haslam fired Jackson and Haley within hours of each other on Monday, a day after the Browns (2-5-1) lost their 25th consecutive road game — one shy of the NFL record. “Hopefully, we made a big step today,” Haslam said. “It is hard to win Browns fire Jackson in the NFL. If anybody knows that, it BEREA, Ohio — Browns owner is us. I think the message today is we Jimmy Haslam finally tried the patient are not going to put up with internal approach with his head coach. discord.

Man says he wants divorce, but doesn’t leave the house cause this situation has left you in limbo, which is unfair to you. Then consult an attorney to ensure you get a fair shake. DEAR ABBY: I am a young adult who suffers from migraines, which make it difficult to have much of a social life. My family and close friends know about them and are supportive and understanding. However, I’m Abigail Van Buren a private person and don’t like talking about it with new people. It’s hard to make friends and go on dates when I know I might have to flake out at the last minute due to a migraine. What’s a good way to gracefully bow out of plans without seeming like a flake? Or should I just tell new people about my migraines? -- HURTING IN NEW YORK DEAR HURTING: Suffering from migraines is nothing to be ashamed of. More than 12 percent of people in the U.S. share your problem. While I don’t think it’s necessary to make an announcement about it when you meet someone,
I do think you should tell the truth if you must cancel an engagement. DEAR ABBY: I am the youngest of four children. Every Sunday, our family gets together for Sunday dinner, a tradition I have loved since I was a kid, although lately, I have grown less fond of Sundays. Here is why: I am now 30 and the tallest sibling in my family, yet I am made to feel as though I am the smallest. No one listens to me; no one asks my advice. I could be at the table with my finger up my nose and I don’t think anyone would even notice. I say things and no one acknowledges me. Sometimes I feel as though I don’t even exist. It’s as if because I’m the youngest, I have no importance. What can I do to change this? -- PATIENCE RUNNING THIN DEAR PATIENCE: Allow me to suggest that at the next Sunday dinner you speak up loud and clear and say exactly that. And if nothing changes, make other plans for Sunday. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2018: This year you will be unusually determined to create what you want. You will meet any obstacles headon. You seem to be lucky! If you are single, you could meet someone very special. This person seems to have the ability to constantly surprise you. If you are attached, the two of you see how dynamic your bond can become. Your sweetie can be provocative at times; just learn to work with that energy. LEO intrigues you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Be careful before you declare today as being “normal.” You might discover that the universe has a surprise or two in store for you. Ignore someone’s attempt to gain power. Lady Luck will come through for you. Tonight: Don’t allow anyone to rain on your parade. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You say what is on your mind, but you refuse to harp on others. You will note that many people around you want situations to go as they wish. Efforts to go along with others’ plans could lead to power plays. Pull back and become more independent. Tonight: Carry on as only you can. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your independent streak emerges when you notice how determined others are to control certain issues. A conversation might seem to clear the air, but perhaps only for a short while. You could feel taken aback by another person’s behavior. Tonight: Catch up on others’ news.
Rubes
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Allow others to see how you really view certain matters. You recognize that you can’t change others, but you can share more of what you feel is appropriate. Do not have any big expectations. You will be happier once you share your thoughts. Tonight: Mind your budget. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be best off in the role of observer for most of the day. Others around you become unusually headstrong. People seem to believe that they need what they desire; they also let you know in no subtle way what is going on. Be respectful, no matter what. Tonight: Time to shine. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Discussions revolve around a loved one or a creative project. Your conversations demonstrate your resilience and willingness to get past a problem. A conversation announces a surprising change. You might need to regroup. Tonight: Get some extra sleep -- you need it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Working to meet someone else’s needs could cause a lot of tension. You want to fulfill the request; however, you also are aware of that person’s demanding nature. A family member also might have some needs. Avoid juggling too many things. Tonight: Let off some steam with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Note what is not being said. Read between the lines. You will be direct in your dealings with a creative venture. Tap into your emotional nature and intuition, and you

can’t go wrong. Detach so that you can understand where others are coming from. Tonight: Happiest at home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your ability to get past problems emerges. You could feel a lot better if you flow from one topic to another. Do not sit on a situation where you cannot change others’ minds. Opt to work through any hassle that might surface. Tonight: The night has a unique and exciting quality to it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be determined to get what you want, yet you assume a low profile. Pressure builds to a new peak, allowing greater giveand-take. Understand what a partner wants. Consider moving away from your position in order to end a stalemate. Tonight: Lighten the mood. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Focus on productivity and getting a job completed to your satisfaction. You will want to switch gears and socialize more to your heart’s content. You could opt to network or catch up on others’ news. Expect the unexpected around your home. Tonight: Go with a suggestion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your caring nature emerges and allows greater give-and-take. Pressure builds around your longterm desires and needs.

HALLOWEEN HINTS Dear Readers: It’s that time of year again, and here are some Halloween trickor-treat safety hints: * Going in a group is always safest. * Only go to a house if the porch light is on, and don’t go inside the home. * Walking, not running, is safer, and a flashlight is a must. * A mask can be a hazard. Can you use makeup instead? * Wear reflectors on your costume, and make sure you won’t trip over your costume. * Check candy and treats before allowing kids to consume them. -- Heloise THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN Dear Heloise: A reader recently said that she doesn’t like the signs (saying “you break, you buy” and similar in stores), but try being a business owner who has to pay for the shoplifting and breaking of merchandise. She would then agree. -- Deb, via email Deb, certainly a valid point. Thanks. -- Heloise ROOTING OUT THE PAIN Hi, Heloise: Two weekly bouts of unbearable left hip pain. Two X-ray sessions. Two doctor visits. Nothing found. I removed my wallet from my pants pocket. No pain. -- Francis D., Reading, Pa. Fellas, sitting with your wallet in your pants pocket is terrible for your back and can cause nerve pain and stress on your spine. The wallet in the front pocket can cause pressure, too. Carrying your wallet in your jacket pocket is your best bet. -- Heloise YOU’RE ON THE AIR Dear Heloise: My radio speaker gets dust in it. I have a can of “air” to clean the keyboard of my computer; the air works great to clean the radio speaker. -- Betty N., Whitehouse, Texas

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for 20 years. We’ve had our share of ups and downs, but always managed to work our way through them. Last year, he decided he no longer wanted to be married, saying the last 20 years “were not all that pleasant” and “we have never really gotten along.” (As far as I know, there isn’t another woman.) My problem is, for the most part, he still ACTS like he wants to be married. He has made no attempt to leave, tells me his comings and goings, asks me to have dinner together, etc. However, he sleeps on the couch and there’s no sex. He says he does this because he hopes we can stay friends after the divorce. I have yet to be served with divorce papers, so I’m thinking it may be a midlife crisis. Am I misreading his signals and he’ll snap out of it, or am I being strung along? -- ANONYMOUS IN THE USA DEAR ANONYMOUS: You are confused because your husband is sending you mixed messages. Could he be having performance issues? Do you still love him? I ask because nowhere in your letter did you mention it. The two of you are overdue for an honest discussion about whether your marriage is salvageable. If it isn’t, ask him when and if he plans to file for the divorce, be-

Pets How this senior dog sanctuary became an internet sensation By JULI THANKI The Tennessean
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Tenyear-old Tigger is big on social media. The internet is the only place the diminutive Chihuahua/ Shih Tzu/Pomeranian mix might be considered big. Before getting adopted recently, he spent about a year building a formidable social media following as a resident of the
Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary in Mt. Juliet. More than 1.8 million Facebook users around the globe have become fans of the nonprofit organization, which has cared for approximately 700 elderly and/ or disabled dogs since its 2012 inception. Another 103,000 people follow Old Friends on Instagram, others have created their own fan pages for the dogs, and at any given time, dozens

of people are watching the dogs eat, nap and play via webcam. It’s easy to see why OFSDS has such a devoted following. Its Facebook and Instagram pages are a soothing, endless feed of the 105 dogs who live at the sanctuary. (Another 200 live in foster homes within a 100-mile radius of Nashville.) And the comments sections, which are typically among the internet’s most vicious hells-
capes, are uniformly positive and civil. “This is the first thing I want to see after I get to heaven,� proclaimed one Facebook user about a photo of a dozen dogs eagerly waiting for their walks. “Queens wish they had her elegance,� wrote another fan on an Instagram post featuring senior dog Chanel high-fiving her caretaker. “Goddess.� “It’s so easy to find negativity (on social media) that at-

newcomers — some of whom have never had homes or proper veterinary care before — transform into playful, healthy members of the Old Friends pack. They share photos and stories of their own dogs and buy Tshirts depicting their favorite residents, including Mack, the blind party animal. Announcements about dogs’ deaths are met with intense outpourings of grief.

Meet Pintail Pintail is a very sweet longhaired snowshoe or ragdoll mix with sky blue eyes. Her age is a guess but maybe 2 or 3 years old. She is very friendly, and ok around other cats.
Meet Evening Star Hoss is a young neutered male, probably only 1 or 2 years. He is from the Shelter so his past is mostly unknown, but we do know he is very friendly towards people. He will need a safe outdoor area to explore when the weather is nice. He might get along with other cats or dogs after a proper introduction period.

Through the internet, people watch sick and scared sanctuary
