Borough welcome sign gets makeover

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Something is missing on the drive to and from Anchorage. The Kenai Peninsula Borough’s welcome sign, which normally sits at Milepost 75 on the Seward Highway, is currently under repair at the borough’s maintenance shop.

Brenda Ahlberg, borough community and fiscal projects manager, said the sign has been removed and is being refurbished for age-related wear and tear.

“The sign is an icon,” Ahlberg said. “People are always stopping and taking pictures there. We want to make sure it’s safe.”

In the Oct. 9 Borough Assembly meeting, John Quick, chief of staff for Mayor Charlie Pierce, said the sign was rotting.

“The two beams on each side, basically you could put your hand on it and rip the wood out,” Quick said at the meeting. “That’s how bad it was rotting. Somebody could come and kick it and it probably would fall down. So, it was brought to the mayor’s office attention.”

Quick said there was no way to fix the sign on site, so the borough brought it back to the maintenance department where it is drying out, which Quick said could take a matter of months.

He said the maintenance department has fixed the sign in the past, but not to this extent.

Tim Dillon, executive director of the Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s office also expressed interest in helping fund a sign that would face drivers leaving the peninsula, Quick said.

“They’re thinking about throwing in some money for a sign that also says ‘Thank you for coming to the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Come visit again,’” Quick said.

Meet the candidates A look at Alaska’s gubernatorial hopefuls Democrat Begich turns to voters once more

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — For months, Mark Begich faced pressure from fellow Democrats to drop out of the Alaska governor’s race. Now, he’s their best shot at winning the seat.

The race was upended last week when independent Gov. Bill Walker dropped his reelection bid. He said he concluded that he had no chance of winning against Begich and Republican Mike Dunleavy and thought Begich would be better for Alaska than Dunleavy. Walker’s announcement came days after his lieutenant governor, Democrat Byron Mallott, resigned over what Walked described as an inappropriate overture to a woman.

Walker, a former Republican who was elected with Democratic support in 2014, said he and Begich don’t agree on a lot of things. But Walker said he fears Dunleavy will unravel some of his major policies and “hurt” Alaska. Dunleavy’s campaign manager criticized Walker for a “bitter, partisan” attack on

Dunleavy.

Begich, the former Anchorage mayor and one-term U.S. senator, entered the race late, worried about the direction the state was headed. Alaska fell into a recession in 2015 amid slumping oil prices.

Crime rates are up. Student test scores are lagging. But his decision to run riled some Democrats and independents who believed Walker deserved a second term. They worried Begich and Walker would split the vote and hand the race to Republicans.

Begich said his campaign was “inundated” with calls after Walker’s announcement Friday, “a sign that people have been waiting for the governor’s race to firm up in one way or another, and now they see it.” He called Walker’s action courageous.

“I think this is the moment,” he said, adding: “I believe we can move the dial and win this election.”

Now, “I would have hoped that it earlier,” he said of race dyhe said, “you just take one pin would have reconciled itself namics. “But it is what it is.” off and put on the other.”

Begich, he said, is now the clear choice for him.

Libertarian Billy Toien also is running.

It was amid intense pressure this summer that Begich said the focus of his campaign became clear.

Then, speaking to a women’s group in Anchorage, his voice hoarse from laryngitis, he embraced his Democratic roots. He talked about wage inequality, fighting for working families who struggle with costs like day care and the need to speak out when President Donald Trump, who easily won the state in 2016, is wrong. “You cannot be silent,” he told them. “You cannot sit there and hope it’s all going to work out.”

The women applauded. But he said the positive response after video of the speech was posted online, from people previously on the fence, was like “the Big Bang.”

“It crystallized in my mind … all these people I’ve talked to on the campaign trail, ‘This is why I’m in.’ I don’t need the office,” he said, adding: “But I do believe there’s a lot

GOP’s Dunleavy makes the case for the PFD

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — As a kid growing up on the East Coast, Mike Dunleavy dreamed of coming to Alaska — of hunting, fishing in wild streams and losing himself in the state’s vast, open spaces.

Now, after nearly 35 years in his adopted state, Dunleavy wants to become Alaska’s governor.

The race was shaken up last week when independent Gov. Bill Walker dropped his re-election bid. He said he concluded he could not win a three-way race and said Democrat Mark Begich would be better for Alaska than the Republican former state senator.

Dunleavy, a former educator who left the Senate after five years in January to focus on the campaign, has cast himself as tough on crime, a budget hawk who opposes new taxes and a defender of the annual oilwealth check the state pays to residents. Since the primary, he

has been selective in which debates he attends, drawing criticism from his opponents, and he’s stuck to his message.

Walker and Begich have said Dunleavy’s number don’t add up and have sought to portray him as dangerous for Alaska.

Walker worries Dunleavy could unravel policies he’s put in place, like expanded Medicaid.

Dunleavy has raised concerns about Medicaid.

Dunleavy, 57, said he got the blessing of people in his district to leave the Senate. And he said he wouldn’t be running if he didn’t think his ideas were achievable.

“Just to run to lie to people, to be governor? No,” he said.

Dunleavy grew up in a union household in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the youngest of four boys. He loved being in the woods — hiking, fishing — and played basketball, his sturdy, tall frame an asset.

His dad was a mail carrier; his mom, a clerk for the city.

State: Votes for any candidates on ballot will count

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — A vote for any candidate for governor and lieutenant governor on the general election ballot in Alaska will be counted, the state elections office said Monday.

That includes votes for Gov. Bill Walker and former Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott. Their names remain on the ballot though last week Walker ended his re-election campaign and Mallott re-

signed his office.

The date for candidates to withdraw from the ballot was Sept. 4.

Walker ended his re-election bid Friday, days after Mallott resigned over what Walker described as an inappropriate overture to a woman. Walker told reporters it had been a tough week and that talks with Democratic challenger Mark Begich also factored in to his decision to end his campaign when he did. Mallott was replaced by former state health commissioner Valerie Da-

vidson.

Walker said he concluded he couldn’t win against Begich and Republican Mike Dunleavy, and he said he thought Begich would be better for Alaska than Dunleavy.

Samantha Miller, a spokeswoman for the Division of Elections, said by email that Walker would be re-elected if he got the most votes. But Walker downplayed the possibility of that happening.

“I don’t think that’s going to be an issue,” he said Friday.

She said there is nothing in state law that allows the Division of Elections to replace a ballot once it’s been voted and returned to the division. However, she said if a voter filled out their absentee ballot and still has it in their possession but wants a new ballot they can request a replacement ballot.

Meanwhile Monday, the state’s largest labor organization, the Alaska AFL-CIO, said it is supporting Begich for governor.

This summer, the group

endorsed Walker. The Alaska AFL-CIO said leaders of affiliated unions met Sunday and endorsed Begich given Walker’s decision to cease campaigning.

Vince Beltrami, president of the Alaska AFL-CIO, said in a statement that the organization will “dig in with every ounce of energy” it has to help Begich win.

Dunleavy on Monday announced he’d been endorsed

by Republican U.S. Rep. Don Young and Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan.

of people who have been just excluded from the process.”

Begich, 56, knows he has to earn every vote and has been traveling the state, sometimes meeting people when they can make time for him.

Wife Deborah Bonito said Begich prefers working to recreating but might allow himself an hour of Netflix with her or playing cards with their son, Jacob, after dinner.

Begich, who plays poker, said that game and other experiences he’s had — as a bartender, in business — taught him useful skills for being in office: patience, listening to people, taking calculated risks.

Growing up, public service was instilled in the Begich kids. That pull that Begich feels isn’t about ego — it’s engrained, said state Sen. Tom Begich, one of Begich’s brothers.

“Maybe that’s a consequence of a parent dying young who’s been involved in public service and has only been involved in it in a way that’s pretty idealistic.

You end up feeling it’s an unfinished thing that needs to be finished, and so you’re driven by that for the rest of your life,” Tom Begich said. “You’re always engaging, you’re always involved, you’re always reaching out.”

For a long time, Begich blamed politics for taking his father. In 1972, a plane carrying U.S. Rep. Nick Begich and House Majority Leader Hale Boggs went missing during a campaign trip in Alaska. They were never found.

Nick Begich left behind six children; Mark was 10 years old.

Begich told supporters he came to understand his father’s commitment.

“He understood that you can’t wait for someone else to speak up or speak out or do

the right thing,” Begich said.

“If there is work to be done, you must get in there and do it.”

Tom Begich said some told his brother that if he waited four years he could “walk” into the governor’s office.

“If that’s what it’s about, if it’s about waiting for your time, then what’s the point of public service anyway? And he’s said those very words to me before,” Tom Begich said of his brother.

Mark Begich has emphasized his support of abortion rights. He has proposed constitutionally protecting the annual check Alaskans receive from the state’s oilwealth fund and suggested Alaska’s Medicaid rolls are so high in part because some big companies aren’t paying their workers a livable wage.

His running mate is Debra Call.

Dunleavy’s campaign has sought to portray Begich as a career politician who wants to grow the size of government.

Begich has said he wants to stabilize the budget and is open to new revenues.

Begich has had tough races before. He eked out a win over longtime Republican U.S. Sen Ted Stevens in 2008 but lost re-election in 2014 to Republican Dan Sullivan in the most expensive race in state history.

Bonito said Begich wasted no time thinking about returning to work. He became CEO of a consulting firm.

“That’s kind of what he brings to the table, like, there’s setbacks but there’s also, ‘Hey, folks, here’s how we’re going to move forward,’” she said. “… There’s no moping.”

Former U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, an Arkansas Democrat who worked with Begich, called Begich independent minded and “relentlessly bipartisan.”

He is nice but not a doormat and stands up for what he believes, Pryor said.

“He is what is right about politics,” Pryor said.

In 1956, a student-sparked revolt against Hungary’s Communist rule began; as the revolution spread, Soviet forces started entering the country, and the uprising was put down within weeks.

In 1958, Boris Pasternak was named winner of the Nobel Prize in literature. (However, Soviet authorities pressured Pasternak into relinquishing the award.)

In 1973, President Richard Nixon agreed to turn over White House tape recordings subpoenaed by the Watergate special prosecutor to Judge John J. Sirica.

In 1987, the U.S. Senate rejected, 58-42, the Supreme Court nomination of Robert H. Bork.

In 1991, Cambodia’s warring factions and representatives of 18 other nations signed a peace treaty in Paris.

In 1995, a jury in Houston convicted Yolanda Saldivar of murdering Tejano singing star Selena. (Saldivar is serving a life prison sentence.)

In 2001, the nation’s anthrax scare hit the White House with the discovery of a small concentration of spores at an offsite mail processing center.

In 2006, former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling was sentenced by a federal judge in Houston to 24 years, four months for his role in the company’s collapse. Eventually 10 years was cut off Skilling’s prison sentence, and he was released to a halfway house in Aug. 2018.

Ten years ago: Badgered by lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan denied the nation’s economic crisis was his fault but conceded the meltdown had revealed a flaw in a lifetime of economic thinking and left him in a “state of shocked disbelief.” The Tampa Bay Rays evened the World Series at one game apiece by beating the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2.

Five years ago: A defensive Obama administration acknowledged its problem-plagued health insurance website didn’t get enough testing before going live; it said technicians were deep into the job of fixing major computer snags, but provided no timetable. German Chancellor Angela Merkel called President Barack Obama to complain about allegations U.S. intelligence had targeted her cellphone. (The White House said it wasn’t monitoring and wouldn’t monitor Merkel’s communications, but conspicuously didn’t say they had never been monitored.) The Boston Red Sox took the World Series opener, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 8-1.

One year ago: New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced a civil rights investigation into the Weinstein Co., amid sexual harassment and assault allegations against its founder, Harvey Weinstein. As Republicans searched for ways to finance tax cuts, President Donald Trump promised that the popular 401(k) retirement savings program would not be touched. Sen. John McCain said he didn’t consider Donald Trump to be a draft-dodger, but told ABC’s “The View” that the system that allowed Trump and other wealthy Americans to use medical deferments to avoid military service during the Vietnam War was wrong.

involved in low-level politics and that his father taught them that instead of complaining, they should get involved.

Dunleavy said he came to Alaska for the first time in 1983, working at a logging camp on Prince of Wales Island. He returned for good after finishing college courses in Pennsylvania, landing his first teaching job in the tiny, remote Alaska Native community of Koyuk, about 90 air miles east of Nome.

Leo Charles remembers meeting Dunleavy for the first time, at the local store. Word travels fast in a small community, and he’d heard there was “a big guy coming to teach.”

“And there was a tall guy standing there, blocking the doorway,” he said.

Dunleavy fell right into the rural lifestyle, and two became friends, Charles said. “He’s a good guy. We just clicked.”

Both played basketball and enjoyed hunting, fishing and riding snowmobiles. Charles said they once traveled nearly 90 miles by snowmobile so Dunleavy could visit the woman he would later marry, Rose.

Many there still remember “Big Mike,” a moniker Dunleavy earned for his hulking, 6’7” physique and because there was already another Mike in Koyuk, Charles said.

Dunleavy said the six years he spent in Koyuk were some of the best of his life. In some ways, the residents reminded him of those in Scranton. “They were just great folks, very accepting folks,” he said.

After leaving Koyuk, Dunleavy said he finished his master’s degree before moving to Kotzebue, where he lived for 13 years. He and his family — he and his wife have three daughters — eventually settled near Wasilla, on 45 acres. Because of the time he needed to devote to the current campaign, he said he sold his beloved mules.

Dunleavy said his time in rural Alaska influenced his views on issues such as education. As a senator, Dunleavy proposed a constitutional amendment that would have allowed for public money to be used for private or religious schools, which critics worried could take money from public schools. The measure died in the Senate.

He also pushed for giving parents a greater say in their kids’ schooling.

“Those guys that are criticizing me, I guess my question for them is, How many kids are they willing to sacrifice to a system that oftentimes doesn’t meet students’ needs?” Dunleavy said, adding that he supports more educational choices, such as career and technical opportunities.

In 2017, Dunleavy left the Republican-led Senate caucus. Caucus rules dictated that members vote together on the

budget and procedural matters. Dunleavy said he wanted more cut from the budget and opposed limiting the size of the check that Alaskans receive from the state’s oil-wealth fund, the Alaska Permanent Fund.

Caucus leadership included his now-running mate, Sen. Kevin Meyer.

Three months after leaving the caucus, Dunleavy announced plans to run for governor.

Issues in the race include crime, the economy and the future of the Permanent Fund check.

While third-party groups formed for all three major candidates, two such groups backing Dunleavy — including one heavily funded by the Republican Governors Association — have raised about $3.7 million, a significant level of support.

Libertarian Billy Toien also is running.

Dunleavy has supported a full Permanent Fund dividend, though he’s not sure if that’s doable forever. If there are proposed changes, Alaskans should get a say via an advisory vote, he said.

The dividend has been capped since 2016 amid a budget deficit, first by Walker, then by legislators. Some lawmakers this year said paying a full dividend would have been fiscally reckless.

Alaskans have lost faith in government and have little trust in politicians, Dunleavy said.

“They want to just not be let down,” he said, adding: “They want to believe that they matter.”

Wade Bryson, a Juneau sandwich shop owner and newly elected local Assembly member, likes Dunleavy’s approach on crime and other issues.

“I think that Alaskans are so fed up that this election is going to change a lot of things,” he said.

What Others Say

Native Americans need an ally in Washington, not a DNA test With the controversy of Sen. Elizabeth

Warren’s claims to be part Native American still swirling through the political atmosphere, it is important that we hear the voices of actual Native Americans.

They’re not too thrilled. Native American groups say they’re tired of being a “political football” in the back and forth over Warren’s heritage claims.

“It’s problematic in the sense that the general American imagination has this fascination with native people, but overlooks what’s been done to them,” Raquel Halsey, the head of the North American Indian Center of Boston, told the Herald. “They think they’re honoring native people, but the real way to do that would be focusing on the issues that face native people,” like land rights, treaties, economic development and education, she said.

According to Kim TallBear, a Canadian researcher on Native Americans, Warren’s DNA drop comes “despite her historical record of refusing to meet with Cherokee Nation community members who challenge her claims.”

Elizabeth Warren should meet with those Cherokee Nation members and have a robust discussion about their needs and challenges.

Monday night Warren tweeted, “At the end of the day, I trust the people of Massachusetts to look at the facts about who I am and how I’ve lived my life and make their own judgment about me.”

But who she is is still in question. An overture to the Native American community would give her a fresh slate with which to build a legacy and serve to clearly define her.

According to 2015 statistics from the Kaiser Family Foundation, “The rate of drug-related deaths among American Indian and Alaska Native people has almost quadrupled since 1999, according to the Indian Health Service. It’s now double the rate in the U.S. as a whole.

Oklahoma — home to the 120,000 citizens of Cherokee Nation — leads the country in prescription painkiller abuse.”

As a whole, the total U.S. jobless rate among American Indians and Alaska Natives was 8.9 percent in 2016.

That is compared to 4.9 percent for the U.S. as a whole, according to a Bureau Of Labor Statistics report.

The Indian Health Service, which falls under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, reports that “American Indians and Alaska Natives born today have a life expectancy that is 5.5 years less than the U.S. all races population (73.0 years to 78.5 years, respectively).”

Sen. Warren, Native Americans need help. You are a powerhouse in Washington. You have an obligation to use your talents to improve their lives. Since you resurrected the DNA issue for political gain, the opportunity for a good faith gesture presents itself: Senator, we call on you to draw upon your own personal wealth and make a substantial contribution to the cause of Native Americans.

Ballot Measure 1: Expect impacts to our local communities

Salmon have always been an integral part of our economy, as well as a fundamental part of our identity as Alaskans. We measure the value of salmon not only in escapement numbers and dollars, but also in their ability to enrich our lives and connect us with the land we cherish and call home.

Alaskans have long supported salmonfriendly policies and regulations. And that support has paid off in the most robust wild salmon runs in the world. In fact, our state has more than 18 state and federal policies that address salmon habitat protections.

These policies have been enacted and/or updated over the years, with annual revisions and additions to the list of protected habitat.

Now supporters of Proposition 1, also known as the “Stand for Salmon” initiative, want to throw out a system that has worked for decades and replace it with one that is overly cumbersome, too rigid, too expensive and too time consuming. For communities like ours, it adds costs we can ill afford for little to no gain.

The resolution recently considered by the Soldotna City Council stated, in part: “… the City of Soldotna believes that a legislative process which allows for intense public input and review, rather than the proposed ballot initiative, would be a better approach to developing a new regulatory framework for salmon protection and development permitting …”

Besides Soldotna, the Kenai Chamber of Commerce has expressed reservations with Ballot Measure 1. A Kenai Chamber reso-

P eninsula L isa P arker lution points out that “[t]he ballot initiative places unattainable protection standards on community and village development, both large and small. Under the proposed permitting process, road projects, water projects, wastewater treatment projects in our communities would require a major permit as described by the initiative language.”

In the case of Soldotna, our immediate concern is repermiting our wastewater treatment facility because under Proposition 1, existing operations would only be exempt until their current permits expire.

After that, they would be required to reapply for permits under the new regulations.

Many operations or projects, potentially including ours, would not be able to comply.

Currently the permitting process for our wastewater facility applies sciencebased standards specific to our unique operation and location. These standards are designed to avoid adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic life, including salmon, and the city has invested significant resources to ensure that these standards are met.

Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat was established in 2015 with the specific intent to protect the interests of North Slope people and communities, and Ballot Measure 1 is a perfect example of why our organization exists today.

Letters to the Editor:

What Proposition 1 does is impose an unknown, costly set of rules that invite litigation, which only leads to delays and even more costs. Just consider what happens if Soldotna can’t repermit our wastewater plant?

Alaskans care deeply about the part of the world we inhabit and take seriously the ecological impacts of our presence here. That is why our current habitat protections are robust and science-based.

Finding a balance between environmental protection and development is difficult, but we have never backed down from that challenge. We do not ascribe to the fallacy that we must either conserve everything or develop everything, but instead we face the ongoing struggle to maintain a workable balance that provides for our civil needs while preserving the quality of the natural environment that hosts us.

If, as Alaskans, we decide that changes to habitat protections are needed, there are proven, science-based procedures available, not an “all-or-nothing,” “yes-or-no” vote on a ballot initiative that most voters have not read and do not understand. Implementing these kinds of policy changes without knowing their full impact is irresponsible and reckless.

For these reasons, I invite you to join me in voting no on ballot measure one in November.

Lisa Parker lives in Soldotna. A lifelong Alaskan, she has been deeply involved in public service for the past 48 years.

Alaskans and Americans deserve better. Alaskans deserve a Representative who will work to bring positive changes to our state and country. Please support and vote Alyse Galvin for Congress.

I want a representative who cares about the future of this state and the futures of my child and grandchild. I want a representative who doesn’t think I am so selfish that I would want to line my pockets with the highest PFD possible even if it will drain the fund dry.

I want a representative who will take action to truly protect the permanent fund for my child and grandchild. I want a representative who fights for funding our education system so my grandchild is part of a generation of Alaskans prepared to face a daunting future.

Ryan’s passing leads Falcons past Giants

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — Matt Ryan is putting up MVP-like numbers, even on a team that hasn’t lived up to expectations.

Matty Ice turned in another brilliant performance in prime time Monday, throwing for 379 yards and completing his final 18 passes to lead the Atlanta Falcons to their second straight victory, 23-20 over the struggling New York Giants.

“Whatever it takes to win,” Ryan said. “That’s the mindset we have every week.”

Ryan threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Hall, Tevin Coleman broke loose on a 30-yard scoring run and the Falcons added another chapter to New York’s miserable season, sending the Giants (1-6) to their fourth straight loss.

“I don’t feel like we’re a 1-6 team,”

Odell Beckham Jr. said. “That’s what our record is, but that’s not the feeling in the locker room.”

Ryan was the league’s MVP in 2016 when he led Atlanta to the Super Bowl. While these Falcons (34) haven’t played to that level, their quarterback is putting up numbers that measure up to what he did two years ago: a 71.1 percent completion rate, 2,335 yards passing, 15 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

Ryan is only focused on the team’s performance.

“To inch our way closer to .500 is a positive for us,” he said.

It was also a big night for Giorgio Tavecchio, who was signed during the week to fill in for injured Atlanta kicker Matt Bryant. The native of Milan, Italy, made all three of his field goal attempts, including a 56-yarder that was the longest of his career and helped seal the victory.

Avalanche take down Philadelphia

By The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Mikko Rantanen had two goals, Matt Nieto and Gabriel Landeskog also scored, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 on Monday night.

The Avalanche continued their early-season hot streak and finished 3-0-1 on their four-game road trip.

Landeskog had a hat trick on the trip against New Jersey and clinched this one with his eighth goal of the season early in the third period.

HURRICANES 3, RED WINGS 1 DETROIT — Michael Ferland scored in his fourth straight game and Sebastian Aho had an assist and set a franchise record

for points in consecutive games to start a season as Carolina snapped a three-game losing streak.

JETS 5, BLUES 4, OT WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Bryan Little tied it late in the third period and Jacob Trouba scored in overtime to help Winnipeg overcome a two-goal deficit.

Trouba took a pass from Kyle Connor and shot into an open side of the net behind goalie Jake Allen. It was Trouba’s first goal of the season.

CAPITALS 5, CANUCKS 2 VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Alex Ovechkin had two goals and two assists to lift Washington to a win over Vancouver.

“That kick was good from about 65 yards,” Ryan said. “He did a great job for us coming in on short notice.”

Facing one of the NFL’s worst defenses, New York botched its best scoring chance by going for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 1 early in the third quarter. To the surprise of no one who has seen the Giants stumble through the season, Eli Manning’s pass for tight end Scott Simonson fell harmlessly to the turf.

Manning was sacked four times but still managed to complete 27 of 38 for 399 yards. Beckham hauled in eight passes for 143 yards, pushing him past 5,000 yards in his career, and Sterling Shepard finished with 167 yards on five receptions.

Both teams got off to sluggish starts offensively. The Falcons failed to cross midfield on their first three possessions, and the Giants weren’t much better.

Then, suddenly, Atlanta struck for two big plays to grab the lead. Ryan went down the left sideline to tight end Austin Hooper for a 36-yard gain, pushing the Falcons into New York territory for the first time. Then Ryan spotted Hall breaking free down the middle of the field, hitting him perfectly in stride for the touchdown.

Coleman’s touchdown with 7½ minutes remaining gave the Falcons some breathing room, but the Giants finally showed some life offensively.

Manning completed five passes for 61 yards before Saquon Barkley powered over from the 2 with 4:47 remaining for New York’s first TD of the game. Embattled coach Pat Shurmur decided to go for 2, looking to put his team in position to win with another score, but Beckham couldn’t hang on to Manning’s pass.

The Falcons drove into position for Tavecchio’s final field goal, extending

the lead to 23-12.

The Giants did manage a touchdown with 5 seconds remaining as Manning hooked up with Beckham on a 1-yard scoring play, but only after the quarterback was stuffed on two straight attempts to run it over, burning off most of the scant time on the clock.

BARKLEY STYMIED: The Falcons were the first team to hold Barkley to less than 100 yards rushing and receiving in a game.

Bears’ Scahill earns Midwest Star of Week Staff report Peninsula Clarion

Just 14 games into the season, the Kenai River Brown Bears have already earned Bauer Midwest Division Star of the Week awards from the North American Hockey League three times.

Connor Scahill, the Bears 19-year-old defenseman, joined JJ Boucher and Gavin Enright on the list by earning the award Monday.

Scahill, 6-foot-0 and 185 pounds, had three points and was plus-3 as the Brown Bears split with the host Topeka (Kansas) Pilots on Friday and Saturday. In Friday’s 3-2 loss, Scahill had both goals for the Bears. Saturday, he notched an assist in a 5-2 victory that snapped a three-game skid.

Scahill, who has one year of junior eligibility left after this season, already has four goals and five assists in 13 games for the Bears. Last season, he had three goals and 11 assists in 53 games.

“Connor has made a big step in his development in his second year in the league,” said Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich in a released statement.

“Not only has he produced offensively, but he has helped

shore up our defensive zone and special teams.

“We are very happy for him to win this award, but he as well as our team understand that things like this will keep happening with team success.”

Teen and stepdad square off over video game purchase DEAR ABBY: My parents -- both in their early 90s -- have lived with me for three years because they need care. We have maintained their home all this time, but they will never be able to return there.

Although my parents are somewhat cognizant, both suffer with mild dementia and haven’t been back to their house for nearly two Abigail Van Buren years. We have enlisted the help of an auctioneer and are planning to sell their house and much of the belongings and furniture. Our dilemma is whether or not to tell them. I’m not sure whether it’s kinder to let them believe things are as they have been or tell them differently.

-- WHAT’S RIGHT? IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR WHAT’S RIGHT?: You say your parents suffer from mild dementia. The respectful thing to do would be to have a talk with them about it before you do anything. When you do, remind them that because it has been two years, and maintaining two households is

so expensive, you think this would be the prudent thing to do.

You didn’t mention whether you have your parents’ power of attorney, but if you don’t, you should discuss what you’re planning to do with your lawyer.

DEAR ABBY: I thought I’d share this in reference to the Aug. 22 letter from “Bedroom Secret,” the religious man who feels guilty for using graphic language while making love with his wife. It reminded me of a joke about a young married couple who asked their clergyman if it was a sin to have sex before Sunday morning church services. His reply: “It’s fine as long as you don’t block the aisle.”

-- CHUCKLING IN RUTLAND, VERMONT DEAR CHUCKLING: Funny! Your joke reminds ME of a quote from the late playwright Oscar Wilde, who said, “I have no objection to anyone’s sex life as long as they don’t practice it in the street and frighten the horses.”

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.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2018: This year you become a strong force with many different attitudes and styles. You might feel as if you are fragmented in some way. Actually, you simply are diverse and creative. Your drive provides a lot of energy and determination. If you are single, you will want to relate to several potential suitors. Finding someone who can appreciate your diversity will be important. If you are attached, the two of you could find this year to be an amazing adventure. As a couple, you often will feel as if you are on a roller coaster ride.

ARIES understands what you want.

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) HHHH You feel energized and will express a depth within you that others rarely see. You likely have decided to present yourself as an obstacle to someone’s controlling tendencies. You could be stunned by this person’s reaction. Do what’s best for you. Tonight: Make an appearance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH Take some time to think through some of your recent decisions. Some of them may have been based on assumptions, not truths. In the next few weeks, you will discover that a loved one can become quite challenging. Maintain your distance.

Tonight: Attempt to get some quiet time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Emphasize what you find positive about the large number of associates and friends you have. You have many different ideas to ponder.

Your loved ones won’t hesitate to

Rubes

point out a gap in your thinking. Be grateful for their awareness, not resentful. Tonight: Among the crowds.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You cannot handle everything that is happening around you. You certainly express a buoyant personality and a willingness to accommodate others. However, when too many requests head your way simultaneously, you could act out or feel pressured. Tonight: Be in the limelight.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Reach out to someone at a distance who means a lot to you. Do not hesitate to share what is on your mind. You probably will be greeted by several suggestions. Verbalizing your goals and desires is the first step toward manifesting them.

Tonight: Avoid hassles and difficult people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Express your desires in a concrete way. Someone will be delighted by your thoughtfulness. You might seriously consider letting go of a complicated scenario that proves to be a hassle. If it comes into play again, you are likely to blow a fuse.

Tonight: Be present with a loved one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You often feel like you are on a roll, but it could be hard to feel that way today. One interference sets off one problem, which triggers another one. Don’t worry, though, because no matter what, you will come out on top. Try to avoid hassles. Tonight: Say “yes” to a caring offer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Your intensity emerges in the moment. Often when people are interacting with you, they completely forget what they were going to say;

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

your presence can be overwhelming.

Use your allure well, when it counts.

Tonight: Someone close to you surprises you with his or her actions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH When faced with a hassle, you come up with solution after solution. Others are in awe of your incredible imagination. Be open to an unexpected happening that could cause you to look at a set of problems differently. Simplify matters rather than complicate them. Tonight: Out late.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH You could be deep into considering how to deal with a hassle and figuring out the best way to appease the other party. You do not feel comfortable with uproar, especially if you’re surrounded by it at home and in your personal life. Do your best to keep the peace. Tonight: Relax at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You are able to make a difference once you initiate a discussion. Conversations could come in from out of left field, revealing startling information. Once you’ve digested what you have heard, you might have a lot to share. Tonight: Do not get into a tiff with a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Take incoming news with a grain of salt. Decide not to get involved until you know more. Pressure builds when dealing with an older relative. The unexpected occurs. Don’t be so fixated on having a situation go a certain way. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner and a special dessert.

SEAT STATS Dear Heloise: I just read the hint in your column about sitting in the front row of the classroom. One of my college professors admitted that the middle four seats on the front row are called (by professors) the “A” section.

That makes sense. People who choose those seats are usually highly motivated and are there to learn.

-- Linda, via email NUMBERS GAME Hi, Heloise: I store passwords in my phone contacts. I list the contact (“health care provider,” “bank,” etc.) and retrieve the password as a phone number or list it under notes.

I use an abbreviated form of the actual password, but it’s enough to help me remember it.

-- Michele B. in California P.S. I enjoy reading your helpful hints!

LARGE LABEL Dear Heloise: A previous reader suggested using your smartphone to assist in reading prescription bottles.

Many pharmacies offer a “large label” option for patients. Ask your pharmacist if this option is available for your scripts. If available, it’s as simple as the pharmacist checking a box on your profile.

-- John L., via email CARD ALTERNATIVE Dear Heloise: I have always hated the idea that we look at an expensive greeting card once and throw it away.

My remedy: I buy a funny book that complements the person or theme and write a note, quote or Bible verse in the front and sign it.

Libraries, garage sales, thrift stores and online are great suppliers of gently used books for the budget-minded. I wrap my card/book in with the present so it does not get lost.

-- A Reader, via email

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers.

The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.

DEAR ABBY: I have two sons, 14 and 10. I just got married a year ago. My husband, “Kurt,” has taken on the father role and does pretty well, although I think he sometimes goes a little overboard.

He and my oldest son, “Elijah,” worked on a roof together, and because my son made $200 plus a $70 bonus, Kurt got upset with Elijah when he used his money to buy an Xbox. Kurt thinks Elijah should have bought clothes, toiletries and other things he needs because we aren’t rich. I agree to an extent, but it’s gotten out of hand.

Now Kurt is so upset that he doesn’t want to give Elijah another opportunity to make more money for himself. He really made a huge stink about how Elijah spent his money. What to do?

-- VERY FRUSTRATED MOM IN MICHIGAN DEAR MOM: “What to do” is to calmly and privately remind your husband that Elijah is 14, and his decisions are not always mature ones.

Then suggest he and Elijah work out an agreement that in the future when Elijah earns money, a certain percentage of it will be put into savings, another portion will be used for necessities, and the rest can be used for items at his discretion. It’s called budgeting, and it’s an important lesson every teen should learn.

World Series Bark Park: Porcello’s pup romps around Fenway

By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer

BOSTON — Fresh from his World Series workout, Rick Porcello was far from dog tired.

So the Red Sox pitcher took his new puppy for a romp at a popular park — Fenway Park .

Porcello watched in amusement as 4-month-old Bronco the German shepherd explored the yard Sunday. The pup sniffed outside the Boston dugout, zig-zagged across the outfield grass and ran next to the Green Monster.

“I got him a couple days before the playoffs,” Porcello said.

“As soon as I saw him, I knew I wanted him to be in my life.”

The 2016 AL Cy Young Award winner didn’t have to look far to find him. Bronco’s dad is Drago, a 7-year-old service dog owned by Fenway Park head groundskeeper Dave Mellor.

Drago was on the field, as usual, with Mellor after the Red Sox held a short practice two days before Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bronco was named because of his active nature, his tail wagging a mile a minute, and roamed from corner to corner with Drago.

“Who’s a good dog?” Porcello called as they ran past.

To the delight of a tour group in the stands, Bronco dashed toward a worker’s wheelbarrow

and then veered off. After about 20 minutes, Porcello scooped up the playful pup and carried him off the bark park.

Bronco was among a litter of five born this summer to Lisle, another of Mellor’s dogs. Red Sox infielder Ian Kinsler also adopted a littermate, Quinn, and pairing her with a boxer the family already had at home.

“You see Dave with Drago out there on the field, you can

see he’s a special dog,” Kinsler said Monday. “When Dave said one was available, there was no doubt we were getting her.”

Porcello said his parents always had dogs around the house when he was growing up in New Jersey. Mostly they had Labradors, and one of their pooches was named Kirby, for Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett.

It’s a busy time for Porcello, and right now Bronco is living

with a trainer in nearby New Hampshire.

“Once the season is over, he’ll come live with me and get acclimated,” Porcello said. “I can’t wait to have a dog in the house.”

Drago is always by Mellor’s side, on and off the field. Twice in his life, Mellor has been hit by cars, resulting in dozens of surgeries. Drago helps Mellor cope with the effects of post-traumat-

ic stress disorder.

“We’re a team,” he said.

Mellor has been grooming the Red Sox lawn since 2001, and said many fans wonder whether his dog was named for former Boston pitcher Dick Drago.

It’d be a good story, he allowed, but not accurate.

“He was born in Slovakia,” Mellor said. “They told us his name means ‘precious’ in Slovakian.”
