Arctic offshore drilling approved

By DAN JOLING Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — The first oil and gas production wells in federal Arctic waters have been approved by U.S. regulators.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on Wednesday announced it issued a conditional permit for the Liberty Project, a proposal by a subsidiary of Houston-based Hilcorp for production wells on an artificial island in the Beaufort Sea. The approval follows through on President Donald Trump’s promise of American energy dominance, said Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

“Responsibly developing our resources, in Alaska especially, will allow us to use our energy diplomatically to aid our allies and check our adversaries,” he said in the announcement.

Environmental groups oppose Arctic offshore drilling and have expressed concerns about the production record of Hilcorp Alaska LLC. State authorities in 2017 year fined the company $200,000 for violations at another production site.

Kristen Monsell, ocean legal director for the Center for Biological Diversity, said approval of Liberty sets the country down a path of destroying the Arctic.

“An oil spill in the Arctic would be impossible to clean up and the region is already stressed by climate change,” she said.

The gravel island would be built in 19 feet (5.8 meters) of water about 5.6 miles (9 kilometers) off shore. The site is 15 miles (24 kilometers) east of Prudhoe Bay, North America’s largest oil field.

Hilcorp will develop federal leases sold in the 1990s. BP Exploration Alaska drilled at the site in 1997 and sold 50 percent of the assets to Hilcorp in 2014.

The base of the gravel island would cover 24 acres of ocean floor, about the size of 18 football fields, with sloped sides leading to a work surface of 9 acres, the size of nearly seven football fields.

To create the island, trucks would travel by ice road to a hole cut in sea ice and deposit 83,000 cubic yards (63,450 million cubic meters) of gravel. A wall would fend off ice, waves and wildlife, such as polar bears.

Assembly continues invocation Despite losing ACLU challenge, assembly starts meeting with religious observance

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting was just like any other, starting with the pledge of allegiance and an invocation. Two weeks ago, however, the borough lost a lawsuit against the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska in a fight over the right to offer a religious invocation at the beginning of each meeting.

The Superior Court ruled the invocation policy, passed in 2016, violates the Alaska Constitution’s establishment clause, which is a mandate banning government from establishing an official religion or the favoring of one belief over another’s, assembly meetings still begin with an invocation or an appeal to a higher authority for the benefit of the assembly.

Despite this, assembly meetings have two weeks in a row begun with an invocation or an appeal to a higher authority for the benefit of the assembly.

The borough’s resolution allows a chaplain serving the military, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, hospitals or other similar organizations to give invocations before Kenai Peninsula Borough Assem-

bly meetings, as well as people who are members of a religious organization with an “established presence” in the borough that meets regularly.

Tuesday’s invocation was

given by Borough Assembly President Wayne Ogle, who gave thanks to “Father God” and offered a number of prayers.

Seward Hwy closures cancelled

By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

Closures along the Seward Highway scheduled to begin tonight have been canceled due to extreme weather.

The Seward Highway closure between mile 84.6 and 86.1, just south of Girdwood and before the Portage turnoff, was set to start the evening of Oct. 24 and continue throughout the week.

The closures were scheduled to replace culverts under the road, but due to deteriorating weather conditions the work has been postponed to next spring, according to the Alaska Department of Transportation.

Drivers to and from Anchorage may still find themselves

sented Lance Hunt, an atheist, Iris Fontana, a member of The Satanic Temple, and Elise Boyer, a member of a small Jewish community in Homer. Each submitted applications to give

at a standstill because of the weather, though.

The DOT warns drivers to expect road closures along the Turnagain Pass area of the Seward Highway near mile-

post 68.7 for about 1 mile due to flooding. Both lanes will need to be closed intermittently throughout the night while workers pump water across the road.

Swimmers are able to get back into the Nikiski Pool earlier than expected. The pool officially opened on Wednesday morning, Nigel LaRiccia, the pool supervisor, said. The North Peninsula Recreation Service Area began construction on their new septic system last week.

The price for the new septic system is now almost twice as much as was previously expected. The estimated cost has risen from $50,000 to $90,000.

Halloween kicks off this weekend

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Halloween festivities kick off this weekend in anticipation of the big night next week.

The fun begins today at 4 p.m. at the Soldotna Public Library, which will be hosting a Halloween party with a children’s story time. The event will include a costume parade and a cupcake walk, which librarian Linda McMilin said will be accompanied by scary music.

“When the music turns off, they’ll be standing on a number, and whichever one we pick will win a cupcake,” McMilin said. “We encourage adults and children to be dressed up. It’ll be a lot of fun.”

The Nikiski Recreation Center continues the festivities with an assortment of events, beginning Friday with its Teen Costume Party from 7 to 10 p.m.

The party is for students grades 6 through 12, and for $2 admis-

“When this ordinance was introduced to the assembly on Oct. 9, 2018, it was anticipated that the North Peninsula Recreation Service Area (NPRSA) would be replacing the Nikiski Pool septic system with a system comparable to the existing system. However, the Alaska Department of Conservation (ADEC) based on calculations from domestic water consumption at the Nikiski Pool, is requiring the tank and trench leach field be significantly larger for capacity,” Finance Director Brandi Harbaugh and Service Area See POOL, page A3

Current Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly President Wayne Ogle and Vice President Dale Bagley were reelected into the assembly’s president and vice president seats at Tuesday’s assembly meeting. The two will serve in those positions for another year. Wayne Ogle represents borough District 3 in Nikiski. Bagley serves District 4 in the Soldotna area. Both Bagley and Ogle’s terms end next year.

Hilcorp proposes to move oil to shore by undersea pipe.

Federal officials said rigorous conditions will be in place to keep drilling safe. Hilcorp will drill into oil-bearing rock only during solid-ice conditions. Drilling and vessel traffic will be restricted to reduce disturbances to Inupiat whale hunters.

State officials embraced the project for the new oil it would add to the trans-Alaska pipeline and the employment it will offer residents. Hilcorp Alaska estimates 200 construction jobs, 60 to 80 drilling jobs and $1 billion in new investment.

Alaska’s Energy Desk reports the Ecosyste m Conservation Office for the Aleut Community of St. Paul Island has changed up tactics and brought in a team of rat eradication experts after the rodent has been on the loose since early September.

Lauren Divine of the conservation office says they have added traps, changed bait and installed game cameras to bolster prevention measures.

Divine says rats threaten the island’s sensitive habitat. She says the rodents “would devastate the seabirds and would change wildlife life.”

ANCHORAGE — A 30-year-old Anchorage man has been convicted of trying to kill a police officer.

Pagopago Beefcake Lelilio was convicted Tuesday of attempted first-degree murder, felony assault and weapons misconduct for being a felon with a gun.

Lelilio was arrested on July 17, 2017.

Police investigating a gunshot saw Lelilio jump out of parked truck.

Two officers dragged him to the ground. During the struggle, Lelilio fired a shot from a .40-caliber pistol in his jacket pocket.

The shot was close enough to one officer to kick dirt into his face.

As two officers pinned Lelilio’s wrist, a third shot him with a stun gun and a fourth grabbed the handgun.

“It’s a warm place for kids to trick or treat,” she said.

Saturday is the when the real fun begins, as numerous organizations across the central peninsula host a variety of events.

The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge will be hosting Spooky Seasons at the visitor center on Ski Hill Road in Soldotna, Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. Park ranger Leah Eskelin said the day will be a drop-in event for families to show up any time.

“The intention is to give folks the chance to know things that are weird, spooky or creepy, to get to know them better so they don’t think they’re so icky,” Eskelin explained.

Eskelin said it will be organized around the five senses, with touch, sound and visual stations set up to acclimate people to creepy crawly animals like spiders, earthworms, bats and owls. Eskelin added that it be a non-candy event, but costumes are welcome.

The Kenaitze Indian Tribe is also hosting a Saturday event with their Fall Harvest Carnival. The Yaghanen Youth Program will host the carnival from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Yaghanen Youth Center on KBeach Drive in Soldotna. The event is open to youth ages 3 to 12 and includes games, prizes and food. Tickets are available at the door.

Also Saturday, the Boys & Girls Club is hosting Trunkor-Treat 2018 in Kenai from 3 to 5 p.m. The event, which is free for all youth, will feature vehicles provided by the Boys & Girls Club that are decorated to the fullest extent and ready to hand out candy and prizes.

Additional carnival activities will be featured inside the B&G gym.

The Kenai Community Library will also be getting into the spirit of Halloween with five days of its Literary Haunted House, which is in its third season. The special event runs Friday (10:30 to noon, and 3 to 5 p.m.), Saturday (2 to 4 p.m.), Monday (4:30 to 6 p.m.), Tuesday (11 a.m. to 12 p.m., and 4 to 6 p.m.) and Wednesday (11 a.m. to noon, and 3 to 5 p.m.).

Children’s librarian James Adcox said the “not-too-scary” haunted house has been a big hit the past couple of years, drawing more than 600 people in 2017.

“Each stop features a book that will have an interactive display,” Adcox said. “We’ll highlight specific books that are of a creepy nature.”

Adcox said this year’s selection will include Medusa’s character from “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief,” a werewolf display from “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” and include the works “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” “War of the Worlds,” and R.L. Stein’s “Goosebumps” series. One of the displays will feature the Joker from the Batman comic book series.

The Literary Haunted House is free to all ages. Children under 10 must have adult supervision, Adcox said.

The Oct. 29 display will be preceded by a Special Halloween story time at 4 p.m., which is designed for children of all ages and will include songs around a fireplace setup.

Adcox added that a Day of the Dead celebration in November is also upcoming, with a Day of the Dead Sugar Skull wire sculpture class Nov. 8 at 4 p.m. Interested artists will be taught to sculpt an ornate wire design that celebrates the annual Mexican holiday.

Halloween night will also see the Anchor Point Senior Center host its own Trunk-orTreat event from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

The Groundz Coffee Shop will also be hosting its own Trunk or Treat event on Halloween night from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in the Groundz parking lot, with a special emphasis on car trunk decoration, and a prize going to the best-dressed trunk.

The Soldotna Senior Center will also be hosting the Fall Craft Bazaar, an amateur art show and bake sale Nov. 2 and 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Around the Peninsula KPC Showcase presents: High 5s and Hugs with Dave Hale Sylvester Since losing a lifelong friend in the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, David Hale Sylvester has done the unfathomable by traveling throughout the planet and hugging over 250,000 people!

Recreation Director Rachel Parra wrote in an Oct. 23 memo to the Borough Assembly.

“Additionally, ADEC is requiring a nitrate test of the soils adjacent to the leach field,” the memo states. “The $50,000 to be appropriated will not be sufficient to complete this project. The total estimated cost of this project

has increased to $90,000.”

At Tuesday’s Borough Assembly meeting, an ordinance appropriating funds for the new system was amended to reflect the increased cost of the project.

The pool’s septic system replacement will be completed in two phases, as both the tank and the leach field require replacement, according to the service area’s Facebook page.

The pool is back open and is operating on their winter hours.

“Plaintiffs allege that the invocation selection policy implemented through the Resolution violates the prohibition against the establishment of religion, denies them of their freedom of speech and freedom of association, and denies them of their entitlement to equal rights, opportunities, and protection,” the court decision states.

Several members of the community came to the meeting to testify on the issue. Keith Hamilton, who lives in the KBeach area, encouraged the assembly to appeal the court’s decision.

“Recently a judge has struck down our policy as it is in its current status,” Hamilton said.

“Doing what we believe is considered right and appropriate by the far majority of our residents, assembly leaders should not let others divert you for what is best for the borough in keeping these policies as is.

Please don’t back down. Please stand firm and know that we are with you. I encourage you to appeal this court decision and take it to the next court.

The first amendment protects us from these threats, for which I’m grateful as both an American and an Alaskan.”

Leslie Rohr is the executive director of Love INC, a community program that represents a network of more than 40 area churches of different denominations. She spoke to the assembly on behalf of herself and Love INC. “My prayer this evening is that the voice of the majority will not be drowned out by the minority,” Rohr said. “There are so many real issues in our community that we could be spending this time addressing. It makes me sad to think that we have people who are in crisis in our community and we are arguing whether or not there should be an invocation when what we need is to restore the moral culture in our community. How better to do that than to have an invocation to call upon our higher power

to bless and guide our elected officials as they make decisions that affect each and every one of us.”

Not everyone who spoke felt the borough should appeal the court’s decision. Ed Martin Jr. from Cooper Landing said he personally believed in prayer, but felt the assembly should not seek an appeal.

“I believe this assembly and many of us in this room need prayer,” Martin said. “Now, there are some in this room who may not welcome it. We as prayer givers should accept the fact that we should have some tolerance. So, in my opinion, I don’t believe the assembly should appeal this case.

It’s been clear that you’ve been tested by a Superior Court.”

Greg Anderson of Kenai said he’s concerned the legal fight is a poor use of tax dollars.

“It is time to stop spending taxpayer dollars trying to pursue keeping the present policy in place,” Anderson said. “Tens of thousands have been spent so far and I have a feeling since the borough lost they will be on the hook for the ACLU’s legal

fees as well. How many tens of thousands will it add up to? A hundred thousand more? Two hundred thousand more when you add what the borough has spent so far? I would love to see the invocation policy eliminated completely, but I have a feeling that it will be fought tooth and nail by some members of the assembly.”

Anderson suggested the assembly have a moment of silence for people to use as they please.

“Last year, there was a suggestion to have a moment of silence to use as you see fit, which would have ended the lawsuit, but was ignored by most members of the assembly,” Anderson said. “My question is: why not use that now? It is simple and everyone qualifies. No lawsuits. I find it reprehensible that my tax dollars have been spent on this. It has to stop. Appealing the court’s decision would be criminal in my opinion.”

During the assembly meeting, Ogle said the borough hasn’t decided to appeal the court’s decision.

What Others Say

Alaska politics have always been a wild ride On Friday afternoon, Gov. Bill Walker shocked attendees at the Alaska Federation of Natives’ annual convention by announcing he would suspend his campaign for re-election and instead support Mark Begich against Republican candidate Mike Dunleavy. The move capped a wild week that had already seen the surprise resignation of Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott for “inappropriate comments” made to an unidentified woman. Mallott was replaced, in his office and as Walker’s running mate, by Valerie Nurr’araaluk Davidson.

There’s no question that the effect on the governor’s race is momentous. Less than three weeks remain before the election. Ballots with Walker and Mallott’s names on them have already been printed, and about 1,000 absentee ballots have already been returned.

But in grappling with the most recent shakeup, we may be tempted to forget that in Alaska elections, there’s no such thing as normal. Here’s an incomplete rundown of some of Alaska’s most notorious turnabouts from elections past: 1. The Unity Ticket Ironically, Gov. Walker was himself the beneficiary of an untenable three-way race in 2014. Having withdrawn from the Republican primary to run as an independent, Walker was a long shot to prevail and was viewed by many as a spoiler who would ensure then-Gov. Sean Parnell would coast to an easy re-election — until he and Democratic candidate Mallott joined forces to create what they called the “Unity Ticket” and won a tight race influenced by a National Guard scandal that continues to have repercussions today. Although he emerged victorious on Election Day, Walker’s win didn’t sit well with Republicans in the Legislature, who often stymied his efforts to move bills and advance policy initiatives.

2. Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s write-in win Alaska’s senior U.S. senator has always been too close to the middle of the road for those in the Republican Party’s right wing, and her campaign for a second full term came to a screeching, though temporary, halt in 2010 when hard-right populist Joe Miller defeated her in the primary. Undeterred, Murkowski embarked on a near-unprecedented write-in campaign (the only successful previous effort was in 1954, by South Carolina’s Strom Thurmond). After Miller’s campaign was bogged down by allegations of misuse of his office as a Fairbanks borough attorney and the detainment of an editor for the Alaska Dispatch who was covering a town hall event, Murkowski won by 4 percent.

3. Ted Stevens’ trial The 2008 U.S. Senate race in Alaska was bizarre from the outset, as Alaska political giant Sen. Ted Stevens ran his campaign while on trial for making false statements related to improper gifts from oil field services company owner Bill Allen. Under other circumstances, Stevens would have coasted to an easy victory. But Oct. 27 of that year provided the most consequential “October Surprise” in Alaska history, when a federal jury found Sen. Stevens guilty on all seven counts. A neck-and-neck result between Stevens and Mark Begich was too close to call on Election Day, but Begich prevailed weeks later after absentee and questioned ballots were counted. The verdicts in the case were thrown out in April 2009 after misconduct by prosecutors came to light, but Stevens’ political career was over. He died in a plane crash a year later.

4. The wild 1998 governor’s race Prior to this year, the governor’s race that saw the most late-stage hijinks was unquestionably in 1998, when Republican John Lindauer faced Democrat Tony Knowles. Lindauer’s campaign was rocked by revelations that his campaign had been largely financed by his wife, and — according to Republican Party leaders — “undermined the party’s credibility” by not being transparent about the source of the money. In late October, Republicans pulled their support from Lindauer and endorsed write-in candidate Robin Taylor. In the end, Taylor and Lindauer split the Republican vote nearly evenly and Republican Moderate candidate Ray Metcalfe siphoned off another 6 percent, and Tony Knowles cruised to an easy win.

5. Hickel and the Alaska Independence Party In 1990, Lindauer was involved in another of Alaska’s biggest electoral shake-ups when he vacated his

Vote no: Ballot Measure 1 hurts rural residents, rural communities

Salmon have always been and will always be a vital part of our culture, history, and way of life. The decision by Alaska Native Regional Corporations to oppose Ballot Measure 1 was not easy, given our peoples unique connection to the land and water and the life they sustain, but there’s no doubt that our decision to oppose Ballot Measure 1 was right.

Supporters of Ballot Measure 1 are aggressively pushing a measure whose impacts they do not appear to understand or appreciate. This comes as no surprise to us, as the measure’s architects made no effort to engage all voices in the Alaska Native community or the Alaska public at large as they developed their proposal.

This was a measure drafted in private with no public input, hearings, or scrutiny — we find that ironic and hypocritical given that the supporters’ central argument in favor of Ballot Measure 1 is the need for enhanced public comment in developing fish habitat protections.

As the largest private land owners in the state, Alaska Native Corporations want to be — and have a right to be — at the table when matters that impact us so profoundly are being discussed. The fact that Ballot Measure 1’s architects ignored our voices is a source of deep concern. No one asked us for input, and no one sought our advice.

Ballot Measure 1 is now before voters as a “take it or leave it” proposition and, under these conditions, it’s easy to see why we

choose to “leave it.”

But our opposition is tied to more than principles of inclusion.

The flaws inherent to Ballot Measure 1 — from the problems it will create for our people to its failure to heed voices in our community — have motivated us to oppose this drastic policy shift.

Passage of this measure would cause immediate and lasting negative harm to vital rural infrastructure projects related to health and public safety. Moreover, the passage of the measure could impact our peoples’ ability to access the lands and waters our people have subsisted off for generations.

Supporters of the measure have been quick to dismiss critics as being motivated by narrow financial interests, but the reality is that the implementation of Ballot Measure 1 will do more harm to Alaska (and Alaskans) than its supporters are willing to admit — something we consider to be wholly irresponsible.

Ballot Measure 1 also represents a direct threat to our right of economic selfdetermination. The ability to develop our land and resources as we see fit was guaranteed to us under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act passed by Congress in 1971. Ballot Measure 1 would diminish our rights of economic self-determination, putting a damper on our future without doing anything to tangibly improve on existing habitat protection policies.

Alaska Native people have always had a special relationship with salmon and the other wildlife with whom we share this vast land. However, Ballot Measure 1 isn’t going to better protect Alaska’s salmon. Instead, it will harm the people and regions who rely on the land and water supporters of the measure say they are trying to protect.

Ballot Measure 1 is bad for Alaska Native people and bad for the state, and that’s why we’re firm in our opposition to this deeply flawed measure. We urge you to vote NO on Ballot Measure One on Nov. 6.

Vote yes: Ballot Measure 1 supports sensible development The outside billionaires inundating the airwaves, social media and newspapers with ads are telling us that the problems with salmon returns are all in the ocean and that somehow we don’t need to be concerned with habitat issues.

While I agree that management decisions and ocean conditions need to be addressed as well, it seems absurd to ignore threats to salmon habitat.

Let me list a few obvious examples of how a better permitting process would have helped salmon stocks here in Soldotna and the nearby region.

Look at the Crooked Creek culvert on the Sterling Highway. For years the hanging culvert has prevented up migration of juvenile and perhaps some adult salmon in one of our critical habitat streams. Take a little time the next time you drive over that section of road to stop and look at the huge

pool underneath that hanging culvert and wonder how that affects salmon trying to swim upstream, especially the little ones trying to find a winter home up Crooked Creek.

Look at the riprap dumped in the Upper River at milepost 57. Was there any consideration for salmon habitat in that project? Do they really expect us to believe that salmon can spawn in that area or that wiping out a little more spawning habitat has no effect on Kenai river runs?

We have dewatered Cooper Creek for hydro power and figured that the kings that used to spawn there were somehow extra and not really needed because: how could the Kenai king run ever become endangered?

Do you think the development projects on the Kenai river had any consider-

ation for the impact on salmon habitat?

All these examples are in our own backyard, in our lifetime. It seems obvious that we need a change in our ancient statute that allowed all these projects to move forward without any regard for the salmon habitat.

Please don’t label me as anti-development; I love having roads, electricity and houses. It is just that we currently don’t have any sound rules that apply to these projects, and until we do, we will likely continue to make more mistakes than we need to.

Please vote Yes on Ballot Measure 1 and put some sensible balance into proposed projects.

place as the Alaskan Independence Party nominee to clear the way for Wally Hickel, a late entry after the Republican primary was won by moderate Arliss Sturgulewski. To make matters even more dramatic, Sturgulewski’s running mate Jack Coghill jumped ship to join Hickel’s ticket on Sept. 20. Sturgulewski’s campaign never recovered, and for

the first time, a third-party candidate won the Alaska governor’s race.

That feat wouldn’t be repeated until Walker’s independent run in 2014.

Alaska is a wild place, and so are its politics. There’s no guarantee that this year’s electoral roller coaster is over, but the drama in the governor’s race to this point has earned it a place in the pantheon of campaign upsets

that have made campaigns in the Last Frontier so unpredictable. Candidate Dunleavy’s final words in Friday’s AFN candidate forum were “don’t be surprised if there are more surprises along the way” — so buckle up, this year’s drama might not be over yet.

Nation/World Pipe bombs sent to Obama, Clintons, CNN

Around the World

By MICHAEL BALSAMO, ERIC TUCKER and COLLEEN LONG Associated Press

Retired US general says war with China likely in 15 years

WASHINGTON — Crude pipe bombs targeting Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, CNN and others were intercepted Tuesday night and Wednesday in a rash of attacks two weeks before nationwide elections that could reshape Congress and serve as a referendum on the first two years of President Donald Trump’s presidency.

The devices, which officials said shared a similar design, were aimed at prominent Democrats and a cable news network often criticized by political conservatives. A similar device was found Monday at the New York compound of liberal billionaire George Soros, a major contributor to Democratic causes.

The bombs overtook other campaign news in an alreadytense political season, which has included pitched fights over immigration, the Supreme Court and sexual violence against women.

The White House quickly condemned the attacks aimed at Democrats and perceived foes of the administration.

“Acts or threats of political violence have no place in the United States,” Trump said.

WARSAW, Poland — The former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe warned Wednesday that it’s very likely the United States will be at war with China in 15 years.

Retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges said that European allies will have to do more to ensure their own defenses in face of a resurgent Russia because American will need to focus more attention on defending its interests in the Pacific.

“The United States needs a very strong European pillar. I think in 15 years — it’s not inevitable — but it is a very strong likelihood that we will be at war with China,” Hodges told a packed room at the Warsaw Security Forum, a two-day gathering of leaders and military and political experts from central Europe.

“The United States does not have the capacity to do everything it has to do in Europe and in the Pacific to deal with the Chinese threat,” Hodges said.

Hodges was U.S. Army commander in Europe from 2014 until last year. He now is a strategic expert with the Center for European Policy Analysis, a Washington-based research institute.

Despite shifting geopolitical priorities, Hodges said the U.S. commitment to NATO remains “unshakable.” He said he is certain the Trump administration views Europe’s security as a key U.S. interest even though President Donald Trump has sometimes questioned the Western military alliance’s usefulness.

“So you’re going to see us continue to invest here in Europe, continue to train, to practice rotational forces, as well as permanently assign forces for the eventuality that in 10 or 15 years we’re going to be having to fight in the Pacific,” Hodges said.

Hodges told The Associated Press that a recent near-miss between a U.S. Navy destroyer and a Chinese warship in the disputed South China Sea was only one of the signs pointing to an “an increasingly tense relationship and increasing competition in all the different domains.”

Others, he said, are China’s “constant stealing of technology” and how China is gaining control of infrastructure by funding projects in Africa and Europe. He said that in Europe, China owns more than 10 percent of the ports.

“This egregious conduct is abhorrent.”

“That’s a very bipartisan statement,” he said.

All the confirmed bombs appeared to come from the same person or persons, said John Miller, the New York Police Department’s head of intelligence and counterterrorism, who briefed reporters in New York.

The U.S. Secret Service intercepted a bomb that was addressed to Hillary Clinton at

the Chappaqua, New York, home she shares with former President Bill Clinton, and another that was sent to former President Obama at his home with Michelle Obama in Washington. A police bomb squad removed still another from CNN’s New York headquarters, which was evacuated.

Overhead TV shots showed a truck carrying that device, which law enforcement officials said was linked to the

other explosives, being driven away. The package sent to CNN contained a live explosive and envelope with white powder, and officials said the substance was being tested to see if it was dangerous.

“We will not rest until we stop these hazardous devices from being mailed and bring the individual or individuals to justice,” said Bryan Paarmann, the FBI’s top counterterrorism official in New York.

White supremacists arrested on Charlottesville riot charges The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The leader of a Southern California white supremacist group and two other members were arrested on charges of inciting a deadly riot in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The arrests come weeks after other group members were indicted in Virginia on similar charges.

Rise Above Movement leader Robert Rundo was arrested Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport and was denied bail in Los Angeles federal court on Wednesday, U.S. Attorney’s office spokesman Thom Mrozek said.

Two others, Robert Boman and Tyler Laube, were arrested Wednesday morning and Aaron Eason remains at large, Mrozek said. All four are charged with traveling to incite or participate in riots. Attorney information for the defendants could not immediately be found.

The men allegedly took actions with the “intent to incite, organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on riots” last year in Charlottesville and in the California cities of Hunting-

ton Beach, Berkeley and San Bernardino, according to a complaint from the U.S. Attorney’s office.

“RAM members violently attacked and assaulted counter-protesters at each of these events,” the complaint said.

Prosecutors have described the Rise Above Movement as a militant white supremacist group that espouses anti-Semitic and other racist views and meets regularly to train in boxing and other fighting techniques.

The latest arrests come just weeks after the indictments of four other California members of RAM for allegedly inciting the Virginia riot.

In August 2017, they made their way to the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville with their hands taped, “ready to do street battle,” U.S. Attorney Thomas Cullen said at a press conference announcing the charges earlier this month.

Hundreds of white nationalists descended on Charlottesville in part to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Clashes erupted Aug. 11 as a crowd of white nationalists marching through the University of Virginia campus carrying torches and chanting racist slo-

gans encountered a small group of counter-protesters.

The next day, more violence broke out between counterprotesters and attendees of the “Unite the Right” rally, which was believed to be the largest gathering of white nationalists in at least a decade. Street fighting exploded before the scheduled event could begin and went on for nearly an hour in view of police until authorities forced the crowd to disperse.

After authorities forced the rally to disband Aug. 12, Heather Heyer, 32, was killed when a car plowed into a crowd of counterprotesters.

Yemen officials: Coalition set for fresh assault on key port SANAA, Yemen — The Saudi-led coalition has sent reinforcements to Yemen’s west coast ahead of a fresh assault on the rebel-held port city of Hodeida, Yemeni officials said Wednesday.

The city is a lifeline for international aid deliveries, and the battle to wrest it from the rebels has, like the rest of Yemen’s war, fallen into a stalemate.

The officials said the reinforcements arrived Wednesday in tanks and armored vehicles provided by the United Arab Emirates, a key member of the coalition that has been battling the Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, since 2015.

Medical officials say that in the past 48 hours, at least 65 combatants have been killed and hundreds wounded in fighting around Hodeida and other parts of the country.

Price, Martinez propel Sox to 2-0 Classic lead Price shakes off past playoff demons, Martinez 2-run hit sends Boston to game 2 win over Dodgers

By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — From playoff flop to World Series ace in one legacy-changing October, David Price earned his second postseason victory in a row Wednesday night and moved the Boston Red Sox two wins from another title.

The left-hander pitched six innings of three-hit ball, and major league RBI leader J.D. Martinez broke a fifth-inning tie with a two-run single during another two-out rally that sent Boston to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers and a 2-0 Series lead.

Game 3 is Friday in Los Angeles. The Dodgers need a win to avoid an 0-3 deficit that no World Series team has ever recovered from.

The Red Sox have won 14 of their last 16 World Series games, dating to a four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2004.

Not bad for a team that went 86 years without a championship before then.

And Price had battled a curse of his own.

The one-time Dodgers draft pick had been 0-9 in his first 10 postseason starts and his

team had never won a playoff game he started before this year. Boston has now won his last three starts, including the ALCS Game 5 clincher against the defending champion Astros in which he pitched six shutout innings.

So what changed for Price, who said he found something while warming up in the bullpen late in Game 4 at Houston?

“I have,” he said Wednesday night. “I take a lot of pride in being able to evolve from pitch to pitch or day to day or game to game. Being able to make adjustments on the fly, it’s paid off.”

On a frigid night at Fenway Park, Price held the highestscoring team in the NL hitless through three innings and retired the last seven batters he faced. He struggled only in the fourth, loading the bases with nobody out on two singles and a walk as the Dodgers took a 2-1 lead — their first of the Series.

“He was amazing,” Boston manager Alex Cora said. “I get it, the numbers. But this guy has been one of the best pitchers in the big leagues for a long time.”

And once again, the 108win Red Sox waited until there were two outs to break through.

In an uncanny stretch of clutch hitting that has been their hallmark throughout the season, the Red Sox scored all four of their runs in Game 2 with two outs, including a three-run rally in the fifth that only started after Hyun-Jin Ryu set down Ian Kinsler and Jackie Bradley Jr. Christian Vazquez singled, Mookie Betts did the same and Andrew Benintendi worked the count full before walking to load the bases, chasing Ryu. Ryan Madson walked Steve Pearce to tie the game before Martinez, who had 130 RBIs in the regular season, dropped a soft line drive in front of right fielder Yasiel Puig to score two more and give Boston a 4-2 lead.

Price and three relievers retired the last 16 Los Angeles batters, with Craig Kimbrel closing out the Dodgers in a perfect ninth for his sixth save this postseason. Not since Don Larsen’s 1956 perfect game for the Yankees had an AL team retired so many consecutive hitters to finish a World Series game, according to STATS. “We had him. We had him on the ropes,” Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said.

“The difference is they got the

big hit when they needed and we didn’t.”

Boston’s other run came on Kinsler’s two-out single in the second. The Red Sox, who led the majors in two-out runs in the regular season, have scored

36 of their 68 runs this postseason — and nine of their 12 in the Series — with two outs.

And now it’s the Dodgers in a hole.

The last 10 teams to win the first two games of the World

Series — and 16 of the last 17 — have gone on to win it all.

And the NL West champions will need to do it against a team that has won six straight postseason games and five in a row on the road.

Curry nets 51 to fuel Warriors to victory over Wizards

By The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry just shrugged and grinned as he kept lighting up the floor, scoring 51 points and finishing with 11 3-pointers in only three quarters of the Golden State Warriors’ 144-122 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.

Kevin Durant added 30 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and Draymond Green had 11 of his 12 assists in the first half to help two-time defending champions finish with 37 after dishing out 35 assists in a 20-point victory against Phoenix on Monday.

But this was all Curry’s show. No. 30 knocked down his 11th 3 of the night late in the third from 32 feet back and shrugged like no big deal whatsoever.

He scored 31 in the first half and finished with his sixth career 50-point game and made 10 or more 3s for the 10th time. The 51 points matched his most at Oracle Arena.

JAZZ 100, ROCKETS 89 HOUSTON (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 38 points to lead the Utah over Houston in a game James Harden left with

tightness in his left hamstring.

Harden headed to the locker room midway through the third quarter and didn’t return. He missed seven games last season with a Grade 2 hamstring strain and said this was not the same type of injury as that one.

With Harden out of the game after the Rockets pulled within five, the Jazz regained control, scoring the next 10 points to make it 94-79 and cruise to the victory.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Nazem Kadri had his first goal of the season and John Tavares, Kasperi Kapanen and Tyler Ennis also scored in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night.

Frederik Andersen stopped 38 shots to help Toronto snap a two-game losing streak to improve to 7-3-0.

Nikolaj Ehlers and Mark Scheifele scored for the Jets, and Connor Hellebuyck made 35 saves. The Jets were 4-1-1 on a six-game homestand, leaving them 6-3-1 overall.

LIGHTNING 1, AVALANCHE 0 DENVER (AP) — Nikita Kucherov scored on a power play with 13:36 remaining, Andrei Vasilevskiy outperformed Semyon Varlamov in a goaltender showdown, and Tampa Bay beat Colorad.

PHOENIX (AP) — Short-handed Los Angeles gave LeBron James his first victory as a Laker with the romp over Phoenix.

James flirted with what would have been his 74th career triple-double, finishing with 19 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds before sitting out the fourth quarter. Lance Stephenson had 23 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, and JaVale McGee added 20 points.

The Suns’ Devin Booker had 23 points, seven rebounds and seven assists but left in the third quarter with a strained left hamstring. No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton had 22 points and 11 rebounds.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants have traded star defensive tackle Damon “Snacks” Harrison to the Detroit Lions for a draft pick.

Giants coach Pat Shurmur confirmed the deal Wednesday after practice without revealing details. The teams are expected to confirm it Thursday after

CLEVELAND (AP) — D’Angelo Russell scored 18 points, Joe Harris added 16 and Brooklyn beat Cleveland, keeping the Cavaliers winless this season.

Trying to move on without LeBron James, the Cavaliers are 0-4 for the first time since losing their first five games in 2003-04 when James was a rookie.

HAWKS 111, MAVERICKS 104

ATLANTA (AP) — Kent Bazemore scored 32 points, including a thunderous slam with just over a minute to go, and Atlanta overcame a 26-point deficit to stun Dallas.

Trae Toung added 17 points on a tough shooting night, bouncing back in the fourth quarter to help the youthful Hawks RAPTORS 112, complete their comeback in a rookie showTIMBERWOLVES 105 down with Luca Doncic of the Mavericks.

Frank Vatrano and Evgenii Dadonov added goals, and James Reimer made 20 saves. Brock Nelson and Jordan Eberle scored for New York.

Pigskin Pick‘em Texans, Dolphins both 4-3 but trending in opposite directions

T

he Houston Texans began the season 0-3 despite high expectations. They’ve now won four in a row, and those high expectations have returned.

Miami had a good start, going 3-0, but now has faltered and stands 4-3 with an uncertain situation at quarterback.

Things are looking up for AFC South leader Houston, and aren’t nearly so bright for the Dolphins, who live in the same neighborhood as New England, the AFC East.

Houston, No. 12 in the AP Pro32, is a 7½-point choice over No. 18 Miami.

“Nobody wants to be 0-3,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien says. “You’re not looking to be in that hole, but we were.

I think it’s really — again, I can’t emphasize this enough — I think it’s all about the players. If you don’t have the right type of players, then you’re probably going to be somewhere not close to where we are now. I think it’s really about the players, their resolve, their mindset, their mentality, their belief in what we’re trying to do, their belief in each other, their belief in the coaching staff.”

No one is saying the Dolphins don’t

believe, either.

Until weather turns nasty in KC, “Last time I checked we’re 4-3 Chiefs will keep scoring in bunches. and there’s a lot of teams around this CHIEFS, 34-20 ro icks league that are 4-3,” says running back Kenyan Drake. “All we have to do is No. 23 (tie) Tampa Bay (plus 5) at make the necessary adjustments we B arry W ilner No. 13 Cincinnati need to make to be 5-3 ...”

Broncos release QB Kelly 1 day after trespassing arrest

By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Chad Kelly’s short stint as the Denver Broncos’ backup quarterback is over, and his former teammates and ex-coaches are trying to ignore the distraction of his dismissal while keeping him in their thoughts.

The Broncos waived the second-year pro Wednesday, a day after he was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass

after being accused of entering a couple’s suburban home uninvited.

General manager John Elway huddled with coach Vance Joseph and team President Joe Ellis and “we agreed that releasing Chad was the right thing to do,” Elway said.

“Even though Chad’s no longer part of our team, we’ve offered to help him however we can and are supportive of him in every possible way,” Elway added.

Joseph said after practice Wednesday that following many hours of meetings with Kelly and conversations with one another, the trio “thought it was the best thing for the Broncos — and for Chad” to waive him.

“As a friend, man, I’m hurting for him,” starting quarterback Case Keenum said.

“I’m rooting for him so much,” said new backup quarterback Kevin Hogan.

Joseph insisted the drama

won’t affect the Broncos (3-4) on Sunday at Kansas City (6-1).

“We have a great locker room. We have a close-knit football team and their focus is the Chiefs,” Joseph said. “They all feel bad for Chad. They will support Chad as their former teammate. But we have one focus and that’s the Chiefs on Sunday morning.”

Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. termed it a “season-changing game” and said, “if you’re not focusing on that, all of this

other (nonsense) that’s going on, you’re missing the big point of this game. This is a big game to change our season and get us back rolling.”

Before a court appearance Wednesday, Kelly drove up to team headquarters in a white SUV and sprinted in and out of the building without stopping to answer questions. He also declined to comment outside court shortly before the Broncos announced his dismissal.

He stood silently next to

his lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, during his appearance at Arapahoe County District Court, where his next appearance was scheduled for Nov. 8. Steinberg declined to comment on his way out of the courtroom and again when reached later by the AP. Kelly attended an annual Halloween costume party hosted by Von Miller in suburban Englewood on Monday night.

It was after that party that Kelly found himself in trouble.

ABC tries for a head start over rivals on midterm coverage

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — ABC News says that it is treating midterm election night coverage as if it were a presidential year, promising Wednesday to get a one-hour jump on its broadcast rivals by devoting the entire prime-time schedule on Nov. 6 to reporting results.

The network said its “Your Voice, Your Vote” show, anchored by George Stephanopoulos, will begin at 8 p.m.

Eastern time and 7 p.m. Central. While cable news networks will undoubtedly be on the story all day, both CBS News and NBC News previously announced that their continuous election-night coverage would begin at 9 p.m.

“It’s something I’m thrilled about,” Stephanopoulos said.

“I’ve never seen a midterm election that feels like this or could potentially be more consequential. This feels like a presidential election, in part because President Trump has made himself the center of the debate.”

Four years ago during the midterm election of President Barack Obama’s second term, ABC had only an hour of prime-time coverage starting at 10 p.m. Eastern.

Starting at 9 p.m. allows CBS and NBC the chance to air two of its most popular programs, “NCIS” and “The Voice.” ABC will be bumping “The Conners,” but the head start may give it an edge among viewers interested in the race. ABC News President James Goldston said local affiliates are onboard with the extra time.

“It’s something that our

viewers have shown that they want,” Goldston said. “I’m hopeful that this will be the most complete coverage that we have ever done.”

ABC’s election night will include a larger role for Nate Silver and his FiveThirtyEight blog. That has the potential to raise unpleasant memories from 2016, when Silver and his competitors forecast a strong probability of Hillary

Clinton’s election, and saw predictions turn upside down as the night went on.

Silver’s blog on Tuesday showed that Democrats had an 85.9 percent probability of winning the majority in the House of Representatives, roughly the same as what Clinton had two weeks out from the 2016 election.

That race was more volatile See ABC, page B2

‘Plight of the Living Dead’ — zombies meet science in an unsettling read The Bookwork Sez What’s bugging you today?

Poli-ticks making you want to flea? Ant Doris on your case about the holidays already?

It’s tough, really, especially when you’re swarmed both at work and back at the nest.

As you’ll see in “Plight of the Living Dead” by Matt Simon, it can be enough to make you lose your mind.

Raggedy clothes, sunken eyes, grey skin, and a footdragging limp. You know it well: it’s a zombie, probably from Hollywood “because yeah sure why not,” says science writer Matt Simon. Still, you know zombies are fictional creatures — or are they?

Reanimating a body, Simon says, is “unreasonable” but zombies are seriously a thing.

Worse, they are “far more incredible and diabolical and horrifying… than a screenwriter could ever dream up.”

Take, for instance, the jewel wasp which paralyzes cockroaches, injects venom into the roach’s brain and lays its eggs near the roach so that the roach happily becomes a sort of living nursery-slash-buffet

for the wasp’s young’uns. Or a worm that takes control of ants in order to make them more willing to be eaten by sheep that carries the worm’s eggs to a snail that the worm ultimately needs for propagation of the species.

Confusing? Yes, and it gets worse: though it’s hard to sympathize with a cockroach or a worm, the blame doesn’t lie with the zombifier, but with a thing called “umwelt,” which is loosely defined as the construct of an environment that an individual perceives.

Simply put: if an individual ant seems to think that being eaten by a sheep is fine, then it is.

So what does this all have to do with you?

Well, aside from the fact that you now know some really cool cocktail chatter, consider this: you can be zombified by your own brain and “free will is a lie.” You can, for example, get Mad Cow Disease or rabies. You can get toxoplasmosis (a surprising number of people have). And if you’re instructed to think of something, anything — who told you what to think about?

‘Sicario: Day of the Soldado’ — a haphazard sequel lacking heart, and coherence R eeling It In C hris J enness

There’s a scene at the beginning of “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” that’s an annoying dog whistle, a call out to those extremists who seem to think that illegal immigration and terrorism are the same thing and that every brown person is either a drug dealer or a suicide bomber. The events that open the film are never revisited, nor do they bear on the plot in any substantial way. I wouldn’t say the remaining film, a sequel to a much superior action thriller from 2015, is great in any way, but it is much more subtle and thoughtful than the opening scene would have you believe.

It would be an understatement to say that I was an-

noyed at the beginning of extremists, allowing them to problem, to be sure, but not this movie, which suggests come in and blow up a bunch for the reasons that fear monthat Mexican Cartel leaders of poor white Americans. gers want us to believe.

throughout and tightened considerably in the final days; polls have shown Continued from page A1 more consistency this year, he said.

Still, Silver said, “I get a little bit nervous when people see 80 percent and round those numbers up.”

“In 2016, people kind of came in with the impression that Hillary is going to win and all the talk of probabilities was just hedging bets,” he said. “People who worked on television thought that, too.”

The lesson of 2016 must be communicated on election night, that 85 percent is not 100 percent and probabilities are not certainties, Stephanopoulos said.

“Everyone was shocked,” he said. “I think the Trump campaign was shocked by how it turned out. That’s one of the things we all learned — be ready to be surprised.”

ABC will keep close tabs on Silver’s projections, updated through the night. Changes will be based on results and not polling, Silver said.

Goldston said ABC will offer a true second-screen option, where viewers will be able to call up statistics on local races. Similarly, NBC is working with Facebook to highlight coverage from local NBC reporters from across the country on the races in their areas.

Goldston is also excited about ABC’s “augmented reality,” essentially state-of-the-art 3-D imaging bringing to life illustrations on control of Congress.

CBS News is expecting a long night for its morning crew: its four-person “CBS This Morning” anchor team will all join with evening news Jeff Glor in leading that network’s coverage. Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie, Chuck Todd and Megyn Kelly will lead NBC News’ team.

Suddenly, that means Stephanopoulos is the most experienced hand leading network election night coverage.

“I’ve worked in a lot of campaigns and I’ve covered even more,” he said. “I’m going to bring all of that experience to bear on election night.”

. . . Book

If this book were written by anybody other than author Matt Simon, it probContinued from page A1 ably wouldn’t be recommended.

But it is, and that’s good: Simon is a funny guy and he makes this very scientific subject interesting to read about.

Yes, it’s true that information sometimes races off on a side road before it’s reeled in and explained better, but Simon brings it back with humor that practically demands readers forgive him for, well, for scrambling brains.

Indeed, be prepared: this is the kind of book filled with sentences you may have to read two or even three times to completely understand. Simon is obviously fascinated with this subject and he brings readers along for the ride but just beware that the book’s science-philosophy-horror-novel basis goes deep as an ocean cavern.

And yet — zombies! How can you resist a book like that, a book about the real-life undead? You can’t, which is why “Plight of the Living Dead” should bee your next bedside read.

. . . Reel

of the people crossing the border illegally are either running from something — Continued from page A1 sometimes that thing is the law, but mostly it’s some kind of persecution, or they are doing it for economic reasons.

The first “Sicario,” besides being a dark revenge tale, showed how the brutality of the Cartels and the defacto criminalization of the immigration process has turned the management of it over to criminals. Sure, a small number of the border crossers are bad people, but there’s simply no evidence to show that terrorists or murderers are streaming across the borders.

As this current film goes on, it settles into a similar vein from the original, this time comparing and contrasting the cruelty of the cartels and their coyotes with the moral ambiguity of the DEA agents tasked with stopping them. Shadowy agent Matt Graver, played by Josh Brolin, takes the war to the Cartels, bringing back into the fold Alejandro, the bereaved assassin from the first film, played again by Benecio Del Toro. Hoping to foment insurrection, Graver and Alejandro pose as rival Cartel members and kidnap the daughter of a kingpin. When things go sideways and the call is made to eliminate the girl and sweep the entire affair under the rug, alliances are suddenly called into question.

In pieces, “Soldado” works well enough. There are a couple of action sequences that are pretty exciting, and there are a few surprises that I didn’t see coming.

But as a whole, it’s a pretty haphazard affair. As I mentioned, the inciting event from the opening is never really addressed again and for all the rhetoric about how “the gloves are off” and the implication that the border was going to go up in flames, in reality the whole operation is a flop.

Nothing works the way Graver and Alejandro intend, and their plan never progresses farther than the initial kidnapping.

I was also a little disturbed at the nihilism of this film.

Every character is bad in some way or another. The first film had a touch of that, but at least Emily Blunt’s character gave us some hope, even as she lost her own.

I was also bothered, perhaps unreasonably so, by the title.

“Sicario: Day of the Soldado.” What does this even mean? I understand that Alejandro is a soldier in the war against the Cartel, but are we just using Spanish as a cutesy gimmick now? And if you’re going to make the title Spanish, do the studios think we’re too stupid to be able to translate “day of the” into “dia del?” Even if you forget the Spanglish, it’s a weird title. Is he a soldier or an assassin (sicario)? And why the “day”?

This movie was probably destined to fail since original director Denis Villanueve was not involved. Yes, most of the original cast was back, but the heart was not. Sure, the original “Sicario” was not a laugh-riot or anything, but at least it was coherent, a description I can’t apply to “Soldado.”

Grade: C“Sicario: Day of the Soldado” is rated R for pervasive violence and language.

Review: David Crosby shares wisely on ‘Here If You Listen’

By PABLO GORONDI Associated Press

David Crosby, “Here If You Listen” (BMG) Crosby, Stevens, Willis & League doesn’t have the ring or reputation of David Crosby’s other multi-named band with Stills, Nash & Young, but “Here If You Listen” makes it wonderfully clear that the 77-year-old’s association with Becca Stevens, Michelle Willis and Snarky Puppy bandleader Michael League is also a rich partnership of harmonies and creativity.

The collaborators also appeared on Crosby’s 2016 album “Lighthouse,” and while Crosby’s name is featured first and most prominently on the album cover, it’s the enhanced teamwork makes the songs work as well as they do.

Built on mostly acoustic frames, the tunes are full of vocal harmonies and exquisite details, as songwriting and in-

strumental duties are shared in varied combinations.

A pair of Crosby demo fragments from decades ago — “1967” and “1974” — are expanded and completed, with today’s Crosby harmonizing with yesterday’s, while Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock,” a CSN&Y hit, gets a plush yet controlled reading emphasizing its spirituality.

Other highlights include the haunting doomsday scenarios of “Vagrants of Venice,” ”I Am No Artist” — with a Mitchelllike melody by Stevens and lyrics from the late poet and author Jane Tyson Clement — and the soulful “Janet,” written by Willis.

Crosby shows great taste and artistic smarts in giving The Lighthouse Band, as the collective is known, a more prominent presence on “Here If You Lis- This cover image released by BMG shows “Here If You Listen,” ten.” Judging by the outcome, a release by David Crosby. (BMG via AP) his generosity has been amply rewarded.

Auschwitz museum gets Nazi death camp conductor’s baton WARSAW, Poland — The Auschwitz museum has obtained a new relic from the death camp that Nazi Germany operated during World War II: the baton of the inmate orchestra’s conductor.

The 32-centimeter (13-inch) wood-and-ivory baton with a plaque reading “F. Nierychlo 1940 (A)” was obtained from a private individual, AuschwitzBirkenau Museum spokesman Bartosz Bartyzel said Wednesday.

Franciszek Nierychlo, a postal clerk and a musician, was brought to Auschwitz in June 1940 in a transport of Polish prisoners. The Nazis made him the supervising “kapo” in the camp kitchen. According to the museum, survivors who gave testimony after the war described him as cruel and cooperative with the Germans.

The orchestra that Nierychlo

organized on Nazi orders played lively tunes while Auschwitz inmates were maltreated.

The inmates were ordered to march in time to the music after hour of arduous toil. Survivors said the musicians received more food and had clean clothes.

“The camp orchestra was controversial to the inmates,’” museum director Piotr M. A. Cywinski said in a statement about the baton acquisition.

“On one hand, it helped many times to save outstanding musicians from the hardest work and was a source of emotional experience during rehearsals and Sunday concerts,” Cywinski said. “On the other hand, it was an element of humiliation and terror.”

Nierychlo was released in 1944, probably after signing the “Volksliste,” a declaration of being of German origin, the museum said.

‘Mockingbird’ chosen as America’s best-loved novel in vote

By LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer

LOS ANGELES — “To Kill a Mockingbird,” a coming-ofage story about racism and injustice, overpowered wizards and time travelers to be voted America’s best-loved novel by readers nationwide.

The 1960 book by Harper Lee emerged as No. 1 in PBS’ “The Great American Read” survey, whose results were announced Tuesday on the show’s finale. More than 4 million votes were cast in the six-month-long contest that put 100 titles to the test. Books that were published as a series counted as a single entry.

The other top-five finishers in order of votes were Diana Gabaldon’s “Outlander” series about a time-spanning love; J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” boy wizard tales; Jane Austen’s romance “Pride and Prejudice”; and J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” fantasy saga.

Turns out the contest was a “Mockingbird” runaway.

“The novel started out at No. 1 on the first day of the vote, and it never wavered,” series host Meredith Vieira said.

Joining her to sing the book’s praises was writer Aaron Sorkin, whose adaptation of “Mockingbird” starts Broadway previews next month, and cast members. Sorkin (“The West Wing,” ”The Social Network”) said reading Lee’s novel was his first brush with “astonishing writing.”

“There is soul-crushing injustice in this book that still exists,” he said. “And at the center, morality, decency and what it is to be a person strikes us.”

LaTanya Richardson Jackson, who portrays Calpurnia in the play, marveled at Lee’s achievement.

“I was most impressed that a woman wrote that way” during that era, the actress said, and that Lee was so “deeply involved on the right side of right.”

Lee’s slender, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel proved enduring enough to overcome the popularity of hefty epics adapted as blockbuster movie franchises (the Potter and Tolkien works) or for TV (“Outlander”). Even “Pride and Prejudice,” the 200-yearold inspiration for numerous TV and movie versions and with an army of “Janeites” devoted to Austen and her work, couldn’t best Lee’s novel.

Debbie Ford of Orion, Illinois, an “Outlander” fan whose love of the books was showcased on an episode of “The Great American Read,” expressed disappointment they didn’t win. But she delighted in the attention they — and the joy of reading — received.

“I believe this PBS series has reminded some of us again that reading is important, and it has exposed us to books that we may not ordinarily pick up.

And that’s such a good thing!”

Ford said in an email Tuesday, adding a friendly plug: “So please go read a book that you have not read before — especially if you haven’t yet discovered ‘Outlander’!”

“To Kill a Mockingbird” has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and remains a fixture on school reading lists. The 1962 screen adaptation won three Oscars, including a best-actor trophy for Gregory Peck’s portrayal of heroic Atticus Finch.

Set in the 1930s South, the book centers on attorney Finch and his young children, daughter Scout and son Jem. When Finch defends an AfricanAmerican man falsely accused of assaulting a white woman, the trial and its repercussions open Scout’s eyes to the world around her, good and bad.

Lee’s second published novel, “Go Set a Watchman,” was written in the 1950s before “Mockingbird” but is essentially a sequel. After being put aside by the author, it was rediscovered and released in 2015. Lee died the next year at age 89.

In this photo is seen the wood-and-ivory baton of Franciszek Nierychlo, Auschwitz prisoner and controversial organizer and first conductor of the inmates’ orchestra. (Museum of the former Nazi German death camp of Auschwitz Birkenau/Marcin Inglot via AP)

After the war, he served time in prison for his actions at Auschwitz. He later played the oboe at the Operetta House in Lodz.

He died in 1977.

During 1940-45, some 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, perished in Auschwitz-Birkenau’s gas chambers or from hunger, diseases and forced labor.

Today in History Today is Thursday, Oct. 25, the 298th day of 2018. There are 67 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 25, 1760, Britain’s King George III succeeded his late grandfather, George II. On this date: In 1854, the “Charge of the Light Brigade” took place during the Crimean War as an English brigade of more than 600 men charged the Russian army, suffering heavy losses.

In 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown went on trial in Charles Town, Va., for his failed raid at Harpers Ferry. (Brown was convicted and hanged.)

In 1910, “America the Beautiful,” with words by Katharine Lee Bates and music by Samuel A. Ward, was first published.

In 1945, Taiwan became independent of Japanese colonial rule.

In 1954, a meeting of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Cabinet was carried live on radio and television; to date, it’s the only presidential Cabinet meeting to be broadcast.

In 1962, during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II demanded that Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin confirm or deny the existence of Soviet-built missile bases in Cuba; Stevenson then presented photographic evidence of the bases to the Council.

In 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China and expel Taiwan.

In 1983, a U.S.-led force invaded Grenada at the order of President Ronald Reagan, who said the action was needed to protect U.S. citizens there.

In 1986, in Game 6 of the World Series, the Boston Red Sox lost to the New York Mets, 6-5, on a wild pitch and an error in the tenth inning, forcing a seventh game, which the Mets ended up winning.

In 1994, Susan Smith of Union, South Carolina, claimed that a black carjacker had driven off with her two young sons (Smith later confessed to drowning the children in John D. Long Lake, and was convicted of murder).

Three defendants were convicted in South Africa of murdering American exchange student Amy Biehl. In 1998, all three were granted amnesty by South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

In 2001, a day after the House signed on, the Senate sent President Bush the U-S-A Patriot Act, a package of anti-terror measures giving police sweeping new powers to search people’s homes and business records secretly and to eavesdrop on telephone and computer conversations.

In 2002, U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., was killed in a plane crash in northern Minnesota along with his wife, daughter and five others, a week and a-half before the election. Actor Richard Harris died in London at age 72.

Ten years ago: Arkansas television anchorwoman Anne Pressly, 26, died five days after she was found beaten in her home. Game 3 of the World Series began in Philadelphia at 10:06 p.m. Eastern time after being delayed by rain; the Phillies went on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-4, for a 2-1 Series lead in a matchup that finished at 1:47 a.m.

Five years ago: Indignant at reports of U.S. electronic espionage overseas, the leaders of France and Germany said they would insist the Obama administration agree by year’s end to limits that could put an end to alleged American eavesdropping on foreign leaders, businesses and innocent civilians. Death claimed British actor Nigel Davenport, 85, Hollywood stunt double Hal Needham, 82, and actress-comedian Marcia Wallace, 70.

One year ago: Two women who said they had been lost at sea for nearly six months were rescued by a U.S. Navy ship in the Pacific. (The women said they had set out from Honolulu for what was supposed to be an 18-day journey to Tahiti in May but that they encountered a storm; records showed no severe weather in the area at the time, and other inconsistencies in their story came to light in the days after their rescue.) CBS News named correspondent Jeff Glor as anchor of the “CBS Evening News.” The U.S. government announced that all incoming flights to the United States would be subject to new security screening procedures before takeoff.

Today’s Birthdays: Former American League president Dr. Bobby Brown is 94. Actress Marion Ross is 90. Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Knight is 78. Pop singer Helen Reddy is 77. Author Anne Tyler is 77. Rock singer Jon Anderson (Yes) is 74. Political strategist James Carville is 74.

Crossword

Happily employed millennial worries about her resume history that has importance or value, it’s also your acquired skills, your community participation and relevant hobbies.

These elements let potential employers get a wellrounded view of the person who’s being hired.

DEAR ABBY: I received a Facebook “invitation to an event” from one of my local Abigail Van Buren friends. Her daughter who lives out of state is expecting, and this is an “online shower.” The invitation contains a link to her daughter’s registry. There’s no date -- just choose a gift and pay to have it sent to her. The daughter is fully employed as a high school life skills teacher, and her husband is a minister.

I always thought of a shower as a social gathering to honor a mother-to-be with gifts, see what gifts she receives, play games, have refreshments and visit. This new concept seems in poor taste to me. While I don’t intend to participate, I feel rude just clicking on “Not going.” Am I being a crotchety old relic?

-- OLD TIMER IN TEXAS

DEAR OLD TIMER: In light of the fact that you didn’t mention whether you know or even like your friend’s daughter, I don’t think you are being a “crotchety old relic.” Because you received what I would call a stripped-down version of an “invitation,” you should not feel rude in responding in the same fashion. Just click no, if that’s the only option you’ve been given.

DEAR ABBY: I was widowed this spring and seem to recall hearing, years ago, that I should not send out greeting cards for the first year. Is this still proper etiquette? With the holidays approaching, I need to know whether I should or should not be sending Christmas cards. For some people, it will be the only way they’ll learn of his passing. Thank you for your help.

-- CAROLYN IN VIRGINIA DEAR CAROLYN: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your husband. If you feel up to sending holiday cards and would like to do so, by all means send them. I have never heard of any rule of etiquette that says you shouldn’t.

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. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018: This year you will experience some profound changes as a result of relating to an extremely intense individual in your life. You both transform because of this relationship. If you are single, you could meet someone special at nearly any point in the next year. The attraction will be intense, and the differences between you also could be substantial. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy relating to each other. You often challenge each other to grow and adapt. TAURUS can be more stubborn than you are.

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 You will want more contact with a partner than usual. You are trying to resolve an issue to everyone’s satisfaction. Checking in with others to discuss key points is smart.

Understanding what motivates you to head in a certain direction might not appeal to some. Tonight: Hang out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Despite a fit of anger or frustration, you can be found smiling most of the day. As long as you relax, the cards will fall in the right direction for you. Reach out to someone at a distance whom you don’t often slow down to speak to or share news with. Tonight: Make it easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your perky attitude and happy style draw friends toward you.

You might wonder what would be the best thing for you to do under a certain set of circumstances. A partner is likely to give you strong feed-

Rubes

back. Try to stay on topic as much as possible. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to come to terms with a loved one or dear friend. Reach out to this person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Others always seem to notice you, but at the present moment you might feel as if you are being noticed too much, especially professionally. Don’t get nervous, but try to be less social than usual. You could gain from this moment in a big way.

Tonight: Do something just for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A partner could be more provocative than usual. Avoid triggering a disagreement if possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Being reasonable always seems to help. You usually come up with the right response.

FLUFFY TOWELS Dear Heloise: I read that adding baking soda to the rinse cycle of a load of towels can help them regain their fluffiness. How much should I use?

-- Sara, via email Sara, great question. Scratchy, musty towels are the worst. What’s going on?

Buildup, most likely, from too much detergent and poor rinsing.

Wash towels (just towels, nothing else) in HOT water using BAKING SODA instead of detergent. Follow detergent package directions for how much baking soda to use, perhaps a bit less. Rinse twice.

Baking soda is a cleaning champion -I love it! Cheap, safe and readily available, I’ve used it for years. Would you like my best baking soda hints? I’ve compiled them in a handy pamphlet. Visit www.Heloise.com to order, or send a stamped (71 cents), selfaddressed, long envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. FYI: Using too much fabric softener or dryer sheets too often may decrease a towel’s absorbency.

-- Heloise PERFECT PRACTICE Dear Heloise: I love all your recipes and have collected them for years (just ordered your recipe pamphlets, too!). I’ve realized that there are many cherished family recipes that no one has written down, so I have made it a point to invite myself over to my mother’s home, great aunts’ and grandparents’ to watch them make/bake/cook a family favorite. They love the attention, and it is a lovely way to stay in touch.

They never measure, so I’m sure to stop them (they usually laugh and say, “Why?”) to measure ingredients myself, and write down the details.

-- Nora M., Howell, N.J. A great idea with the holiday season right around the corner!

DEAR ABBY: I’m a millennial, and it seems these days people stay at jobs for only a few years before moving on. That has been my experience in the past, but now I’m in a position that’s fulfilling and where I am creatively satisfied.

All my friends are always looking for their next gig, but for once, I don’t feel that way. They keep sending me job postings they think I would be interested in, which would be right up my alley if I was looking, but I’m not.

How should I respond? Does it say I’m lacking motivation or goals if I don’t have the desire to leave the company where I am currently working? In this day and age, is it OK to stay longer at a company, or does that actually hurt your resume? Does it show a lack of drive?

-- SEEKING GUIDANCE DEAR SEEKING: Many millennials move from job to job because they don’t like what they’re doing or don’t have the creative satisfaction you do, as well as other factors. Remaining with a company you like, being appreciated and fairly compensated for what you do, should not create a black mark on your resume. It’s a sign of stability.

In terms of a resume, it’s not just your work
