In the news Debris slide closes road into Denali National Park ANCHORAGE — A debris slide has closed the road into Denali National Park. The National Park Service says debris fell onto the road at Mile 38, the same location as a 2013 slide. The park service closed the road to vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles at Igloo Campground at Mile 34. The agency says visitors may drive personal vehicles as far as the Teklanika rest area at Mile 30 and bike or walk to Igloo Campground.

Grand jury indicts ivory dealer on smuggling charges ANCHORAGE (AP) — A federal grand jury has indicted a 67-year-old Alaska man on charges of smuggling ivory. James Terrence Williams, who does business in Skagway as Inside Passage Arts, faces 10 counts of smuggling goods into and out of the country, violating the Lacey Act and falsely labeling goods. Williams could not be reached Friday at the number listed for his business. Online court documents do not list his attorney. Federal prosecutors say Williams in October 2014 and March 2016 exported raw, unworked, walrus ivory tusks from Alaska to Indonesia for carving. Prosecutors say he smuggled carved ivory back to the United States, disguised the transactions by falsifying records and sold illegally imported carved ivory pieces. The maximum sentence on the charges is 10 years in prison and fines of $250,000.

Food bank receives 120,000-pound donation ANCHORAGE — The Food Bank of Alaska is replenishing its pantry with a 120,000-pound donation. KTVA reports ConocoPhillips employees made the donation as part of United Way’s yearly Day of Caring food drive. Food bank CEO Jim Baldwin says his organization is “a bit leaner” as it comes off summer months. He says the donation means the food bank is better prepared for colder weather and the holiday season. The food bank says food insecurity is a problem in the state.

Walker withdraws from race By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

Gov. Bill Walker abandoned his bid for re-election on Friday. In an announcement at the Alaska Federation of Natives conference in Anchorage, the incumbent independent said he is suspending his election campaign and is throwing his support behind Democratic candidate Mark Begich. Walker is not resigning; he will complete his term in office. “As of today I am suspending my campaign,” he said after taking the stage. The proclamation drew gasps and cries from the audience. It comes days after the resignation of Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott under uncertain circumstances. Mallott withdrew from the election on Tuesday, the same day he resigned, leaving the Walker-Mallott campaign in limbo. “In the time remaining, it has become clear we cannot win a three-way race,” Walker said. The deadline for withdrawing from the general election ballot has already passed; the Alaska Gov. Bill Walker announces he will drop his re-election bid while addressing the Alaska Federation of Natives conference names of Walker and Mallott Friday in Anchorage. Walker’s re-election plans were dealt a blow earlier in the week after his running mate, Lt. Gov. Byron MalSee WALKER, page A2 lott, resigned after making an inappropriate overture toward a woman.

City of Kenai takes stand Kenai asks state for against Ballot Measure 1 fishery economic disaster declaration

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai City Council voted to oppose Alaska Ballot Measure 1 at Wednesday’s meeting. All members of the council besides council member Bob Molloy voted in favor of a resolution that would formally oppose the Stand for Salmon initiative. The resolution was presented to the council because of uncertainty regarding city projects if it were to pass. “While Ballot Measure 1, an act providing for the protection of wild salmon and fish and wildlife habitat is intended to strengthen protection for salmon and other fish and wildlife habitat, it’s potential impact on projects affecting the city are unclear and disputed by proponents and opponents of the initiative,” the resolution said. The resolution comes just three weeks after the city of Soldotna failed a resolution to oppose Alaska Ballot Measure

The Kenai Bluff Stabilization Project is the city’s number one capital priority. The council believes Alaska Ballot Measure 1 could negatively impact or delay the stabilization project, city road improvements, a Liquefied Natural Gas pipeline with a terminus in Nikiski and continued work at the Kenai

Municipal Airport. There was nearly an hour of public comment from community members both supporting and opposing the resolution. Clark Whitney Jr., an English teacher at Skyview Middle School, has lived in on the central peninsula for 44 years. He told the council he was speakSee STAND, page A2

Wednesday night, the Kenai City Council unanimously voted to request that Gov. Bill Walker declare an economic disaster for the upper Cook Inlet fisheries region and support a recovery plan. Clam Gulch resident David Martin spoke in support of the resolution. He’s the president of the United Cook Inlet Drift Association. “I appreciate the city council bringing this resolution forward and I hope it’s unanimously supported,” Martin said. “I’ve fished here 47 years and this is probably the worst season I’ve seen. We need a little economic help from the state to carry the people through.” Council member Bob Molloy, who co-sponsored the resolution, said a potential recovery plan could take many forms. “The state could commit resources to assist permit holders who participate in the Commercial Fishing Revolving Loan Pro-

gram to avoid default, and who may be unable to meet payment terms who may not be able to pay because of the poor season,” Molloy said. Vice Mayor Tim Navarre noted that offering relief to the fishing families here will encourage them to stay here and continue their work. “If they are given some leeway they will stay in the fishery and work,” Navarre said. “That’s really what it’s all about. This isn’t a welfare program. There’s some real relief here and opportunity for people to benefit from it and continue with their livelihood.” Mayor Brian Gabriel excused himself from the vote, at the advice of city attorney Scott Bloom, who said it could be a potential conflict of interest since Gabriel is a commercial set-netter and could potentially benefit from the passing of the resolution. A copy of the adopted resolution will be sent to Gov. Walker, Sen. Peter Micciche, Rep. Gary Knopp and Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce.

Villages in Yukon Delta growing faster than Bethel hub BETHEL (AP) — Small communities in Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region are growing faster populationwise than Bethel, the commercial hub for that part of the state. It’s part of a trend spreading across western and northern communities of Alaska, whose

overall population has remained steady for several years, KYUK reported. Villages are growing the most, even though hubs like Bethel, Dillingham, Nome and Kotzebue have slowly increasing populations, said state demographer Eddie Hunsinger. Population numbers are determined by various factors,

including deaths, births and migrations in- and-out of communities. Populations in western and northern Alaska are younger, with fewer deaths and more births, Hunsinger said. “In Western and Northern regions of the state, there’s typically some net migration losses, more people leaving the region

than moving to the region,” he said. “But it’s a little bit more than compensated by the number of births.” According to state estimates, 40 percent of the Y-K Delta region’s population was younger than 20 in 2017, and 70 percent was younger than 40. Bethel represented one-

fourth of the region’s total population in 2010, dropping two percentage points by 2017, state estimates show. Collecting village population information has some limitations, Hunsinger said. People might claim multiple places as a residence and numerous families often live in one house.

jobs and pay taxes to support our communities.” Chairman of the Kenai Area Fisherman’s Coalition, Ed Schmidt spoke in opposition to the resolution. “We just passed a resolution to bail out an industry that contributed $3 billion to the Kenai economy,” Schmidt said in reference to a resolution requesting the governor declare the upper Cook Inlet fishery an economic disaster, which the council passed just prior to the public hearing on the Alaska Ballot Measure 1 public hearing. “I don’t understand how we can say it might be other things, with such an important industry, without focusing on the habitat. If we don’t have habitat, we have nothing. “I understand you don’t want to pay a whole lot, or more than you need to, for the bluff stabilization project, but still I think our bluff stabilization can be done in a way that supports habitat, and as a city council we wouldn’t want to do something that degrades salmon habitat.” Vice Mayor Tim Navarre, co-sponsor of the resolution, said the ballot measure is a city issue. “It could have substantial impacts on a number of issues here,” Navarre said. Council member Bob Molloy was the only member of the council to oppose the resolution because he said the council should stay neutral on issues in the hands of voters.

learn to trust them to do what they’re supposed to be doing, it’s them trusting us to help them,” Wells said. To be in the program, people must go through an interview process with tribal probation officers. Wells said they focus on people who are high risk and have high needs. Priority is given to people who have children involved. Members of the program cannot have a distribution charge. The program is individualized for the needs of each person’s recovery, but it takes at least 18 months to complete, and sometimes even longer if the participant relapses. Wells said the 18 months is necessary to regain complete sobriety. “They want that clean, sober life, but they can’t because of the chemicals in their brains until they can get them out,” Wells said. “A six-week program just doesn’t work; it’s not enough time. It doesn’t take care of that addictive brain. We realized early on in this program if the person is addicted or just getting out of jail and they’ve been sober for a month or six weeks, their addiction is a lot of work.” Wells credits part of the program’s success to the Dena’ina Wellness Center and its clinicians, as well as asking the right questions.

ing on behalf of his students and his children when he opposed the council’s resolution. “This ballot measure is about our children’s future,” Whitney said. “We want our children to enjoy wild healthy salmon.” During his public testimony, he rolled out a long piece of paper over five feet long across the chamber floor with a list of west coast streams that are no longer able to support salmon habitat. Two streams on the list are in Alaska. “Our state legislators will not do it, because the same corporations, which have spent $10 million to defeat Ballot Measure 1, will spend millions more to keep them from doing what’s right for our children, and their children’s children,” Whitney said. Linda Hutchings gave support for the resolution. Her parents homesteaded in the area and she grew up commercial fishing. “I’ve watched what has happened over the years in our area,” Hutchings said. “Responsible development has happened. Alaska grew as a state; oil was discovered at Swanson River. The outside money, as it’s referred to, has been our neighbor for more than 50 years. These are people that are your friends, your neighbors, your relatives have

Vaughn said the program has been amazing. “Eighteen months ago, I had three years hanging over my head,” Vaughn said. “It was either do the three years or get out with no license. I’d probably be in the same boat, in and out of jail, like I was before, but this program came along. I decided to give it a try. Now look at me. It’s all been worth it.” Darien also said his experience in the program was phenomenal. “I had some rough spots, but I got over them,” Darien said. “It’s been just a wonderful experience. When I started the program, I pretty much didn’t have anything. Now it seems I have everything at my fingertips.” Henu’ uses rehabilitation to reduce recidivism rates and improve the lives and the communities of program participants. The program is 18 months long and goes through a series of phases. One phase is the trust phase, where participants and the tribal court learn to trust each other through the process. “It’s not so much that we

“We have to change the questions,” Wells said. “It’s not ‘what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you stopping? You want to. You say you want to. What’s the matter with you?’ We are asking the wrong question, and what we need to do is look deeper at what happened to you to get you on this path, and what can we do to help you get back. It’s not about us catching them doing something wrong; it’s about catching them do something right and helping them continue on this path of sobriety.” Wells said she believed the

program can help change lives and communities. “We want to stop the recidivism, and I think we can,” Wells said. Both Vaughn and Darien said they are excited to see what opportunities the future has in store for them. “I can get on with my life,” Vaughn said. “I can drive legally without looking over my shoulder, you know.” “I’m just going to keep on this path on recovery,” Darien said. “So many good things have happened to me already.”

will still appear before voters. Early voting begins Monday, but more than 20,000 absentee ballots have already been mailed to voters, and more than 1,000 have already been voted, according to figures from the Division of Elections. Walker’s withdrawal leaves three candidates in the governor’s race: Democratic candidate Begich, Republican Mike Dunleavy and Libertarian Billy Toien. Begich is Walker’s preferred candidate, he said in his address.“Alaskans deserve a competitive race. Alaskans deserve a choice other than Mike Dunleavy,” Walker said, claiming that if Dunleavy is elected, he will eliminate Alaska’s expanded Medicaid program, defund the proposed trans-Alaska natural gas pipeline, and “undo the bipartisan approved sustainable fiscal plan.” AFN delegates interrupted the regularly scheduled agenda after Walker’s address in order to deliver a series of speeches praising and thanking Walker for his actions as governor. In particular, the delegates thanked him for his apology for colonialist actions by the state and territorial government. One speaker proposed a resolution accepting Walker’s apology, and it was unanimously approved with a standing ovation from the audience at Anchorage’s Dena’ina Center. Then, a series of representatives from tribes and Native corporations across Alaska came to the stage and offered their remarks. Some offered gifts literally off their backs and necks to the governor. Will Mayo, the emcee for much of this year’s AFN ceremonies, appeared stunned by the proceedings. “That kind of sacrifice in my mind only comes from a heart of love. Where else does that come from?” he said. “I’ll never forget this. This is a historical moment, folks. This is a historic moment in the state of Alaska.” Walker’s withdrawal speech Walker’s campaign emailed the full text of his speech to supporters and the media after its delivery. It is reprinted below:

I ran for re-election because I still believe that, more than anything else, Alaska deserves integrity, honesty, and courage. Alaska First is, and cannot only be, a campaign slogan. When I said I ran for governor to do the job, not make the decisions to keep the job, I meant exactly what I said. Every decision I have made as your governor, I have made on the basis of what I believe is best for Alaska. With that said, effective today, I am suspending my campaign for re-election as Governor. With more time, I am confident that Val and I could deliver a message and a campaign that could earn a victory in this election. But there are only 18 days remaining before election day. Absentee ballots have already been mailed, and Alaskans are already voting. In the time remaining, I believe we cannot win a three-way race. This week I have talked to many Alaskans to determine whether I or Mark Begich had a better chance of running a competitive race against Mike Dunleavy. The determination was made that, at this point, Begich has the better odds. Alaskans deserve a competitive race. Alaskans deserve a choice other than Mike Dunleavy, whose record and campaign rhetoric indicate he will: r FMJNJOBUF .FEJDBJE &YQBOsion that has provided health

care access to 44,000 Alaskans, created jobs and brought $1 billion federal dollars into the Alaskan economy while decreasing State healthcare expenditures by $16 million, kept hospitals from closing, and saved lives; r EFGVOE UIF "MBTLB -/( Gasline project that has made historic progress, will create 12,000 high paying construction jobs, 88,000 direct and indirect jobs and deliver low cost energy to our homes and businesses; r VOEP UIF CJQBSUJTBO BQproved sustainable fiscal plan that has resulted in fiscal stability, significantly reduced the deficit, improved our credit rating and preserved the PFD program into perpetuity; r DBVTF PVS NPTU WVMOFSBCMF to suffer the brunt of the additional $1 billion in budget cuts he vows to make to education, rural Alaska and those receiving health care. Moreover, my administration has worked tirelessly to improve the relationship between Tribes and State and restore respect for Alaska’s First Peoples in state government. Yesterday, I apologized on behalf of the State of Alaska for the wrongs committed against the Alaska Native people throughout our history, because I believed that was best for Alaska. My expectation is that this work critical to the healing of historical trauma and unifying all Alaskans will be undone in a Dunleavy administra-

tion. On balance, it is my belief that despite my many differences with Mark Begich, his stance on the important issues I have listed above more closely align with my priorities for Alaska. This is not the first difficult decision I have made this week, but it is one I know I must make. There simply are no words to express my deepest gratitude to the incomparable, dedicated team of outstanding Alaskans who have served in my administration and to the thousands of supporters, donors, volunteers and campaign staff who have been passionately committed to my re-election. And above all, I want to say thank you to my family and to Donna, my first lady for life. As I said earlier this week, ultimately, it’s not how long my team and I serve, it’s how well we served the people and the state we love while the opportunity was ours. We have served with integrity, courage, devotion, and compassion, never asking ourselves whether a decision is politically correct but always asking if it is right for Alaska. I am proud of the work we have done in the most challenging fiscal crisis in state history and it is the honor of my life to have served as the governor of this great state. Thank you, God bless you all, and may God continue to bless Alaska.

What Others Say

The life and death of a shopping institution The orders poured in from everywhere

— 105,000 a day at one point — so much so that the company became an economic force. It could make or break suppliers by promoting their products. It could dictate terms on manufacturing. Its headquarters city boomed as this tech-driven retailer built huge warehouses and factories and attracted other businesses and rivals. State and local governments complained that the company was harming small-town retailers. That was Sears, Roebuck & Company in the early 20th century in Chicago. But at various times in the history of retailing you could apply like descriptions of retail might to Walmart, Kmart, Safeway, A.&P., and F.W. Woolworth, whose Downtown Manhattan headquarters building was christened the “Cathedral of Commerce” when it opened in 1913. Today the Woolworth Building is a luxury condo whose young residents are probably unaware of the extraordinary entrepreneur who built it. Which is to say that becoming the nation’s leading retailer does not guarantee immortality, at least not beyond architecture. Sears, once America’s dominant retailer, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after 132 years in business. Sears became the Amazon of its day because its co-founder Richard Warren Sears harnessed two great networks to serve his enterprise — the railroads and the United States Postal Service. When the Postal Service commenced rural free delivery in 1896 (the “last mile” in today’s jargon) every homestead in America became within reach. And Richard Sears reached them. He used his genius for advertising and promotion to put a catalog in the hands of 20 million Americans in 1900, when the population was 76 million. The Wish Book or Big Book or Dream Book, as the catalog was variously called, could run a staggering 1,500 pages and offer more than 100,000 items. And when one of his pants suppliers, the manufacturing wizard Julius Rosenwald, became his partner, in 1886, Sears was on the way to becoming a vertically integrated juggernaut. Whether you needed a cream separator or a catcher’s mitt, a plow or a dress, or an entire house, Sears had it. “No matter where you go or how long you look, you’ll not find values approaching those this book presents,” the spring 1922 catalog declared. Sears would carve up the catalog landscape with a local rival, Montgomery Ward. Remember it? Probably not. The e-sales promotion company Groupon, itself once mighty and now clinging to life, occupies part of Ward’s former headquarters in Chicago. Sears, Montgomery Ward and another Midwestern-born general merchandise retailer, J.C. Penney, dominated postwar American retailing, controlling 43 percent of department store sales by 1975. But even by then, Sears was beginning to falter under waves of new competition. The company was not alone. A.&P., which introduced the first cut-rate grocery store in 1912, was also sliding into a long decline that would last through decades of ownership and management changes. Great A.&P. went through the final checkout lane in 2016 following its second bankruptcy. (Or was that the third?) A.&P. once operated 15,819 stores and ran the world’s largest food packaging plant, in Horseheads, N.Y. The company was so powerful that in 1949 trustbusters tried to slice it into seven independent companies. Even before that, states passed “chain laws” that included minimum markups, so small stores couldn’t be undermined by the loss leaders that A.&P. would offer to attract shoppers. A.&P., a vicious competitor, buried local retailers anyway. By the inflation-racked 1970s, though, A.&P. was struggling against nimbler chains such as Safeway, which became the country’s top grocer, and Kroger, as well as new models of retailing such as big-box stores. Walmart’s eventual move into groceries would help seal A.&P.’s fate, and, at the same time, make the Arkansas company the nation’s top retailer, where it remains. For now. A.&P. would later show some dubious creativity when in the early 1980s management scrapped and replaced the “overfunded” pension plan, plundering it for operating capital. This piece of sliminess was copied all over corporate America, signaling the end of the pension plans that so many workers depended on for retirement income. In its earlier days, with strong leaders such as Robert E. Wood, Sears was able to negotiate huge shifts in the economic and demographic landscape. By 1925, more Americans were living in the cities than in rural areas. Sears followed them by opening retail stores. The postwar boom would give rise to the suburban shopping mall, and Sears could easily finance and grab what were then (but not necessarily now) the best locations across the country. By the mid-1980s, after a restructuring, the company briefly blossomed anew, in part by becoming a more full-blown conglomerate that owned Allstate Insurance and the Dean Witter brokerage. Sears also tried to crack the credit card market with its Discover card. The rationale was that Americans trusted Sears on the spending side of family finance, so why wouldn’t they do the same on the savings side? The proposal was framed this way: “Would you buy stocks where you buy socks?” Answer: Not really. High up in the Sears Tower, management couldn’t see that the retail landscape was changing. Sears couldn’t compete effectively with Walmart and the growth of big box merchandisers such as Toys “R” Us. But more important, the company could not summon the vision to anticipate the internet. By 1993, Sears had closed its national network of warehouses and exited the catalog business — which is basically e-retailing without the “e.” Amazon shipped its first book in 1995.

The Saudi D.C. swamp

Imagine that: It’s getting so it’s difficult to get away with being slime in the Washington “swamp” these days — or at the very least, much tougher to paper it over by placing a fake-believe veneer of money from the most noxious sources. For generations, we have allowed so many of our most prominent operators to perfume over the stench of their ill-gained prosperity as they have represented the interests here of some of the planet’s most rotten individuals and their brutal tyrannies. Finally, the facade is being torn down, and those who have gotten away so long with getting rich from human misery are being exposed. The results are painful for them. Thanks to the independent counsel foraging in the Trumpster, for instance, all the Donald Trump campaign operatives’ cynical wheeling and dealing on behalf of the Russians and their sympathizers has finally gotten them in trouble. Not only does Paul Manafort face jail time, along with his associates, but a reckoning is coming to other firms who chose to ignore the foul odor of his murderous clients to work with him, for whatever blood money he would share with them. Now we have the Saudis and the likelihood that they have clumsily gone too far with their barbarity. They made the single most fatal mistake when they allegedly decided to rub out the wrong dis-

sident whose barbs were hitting too close to the tyrant’s ego. In this case, the troublemaker was a journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. Not only that, but he expressed his disagreements as a contributor to The WashBob Franken ington Post. The Post, as a paper of record, has an inordinately huge impact. The normal hit job couldn’t be glossed over like it usually could be. The ruthless repression of the Saudi regime has certainly not been a secret. But for decades, the country’s absolute rulers made sure to provide all the oil we needed and saw to it that billions of dollars were paid to those skulking around the influence community in D.C. But the Khashoggi hit job was too much for even the most jaded Washington nihilist. Suddenly, those bankers, lobbyists and PR firms that had long groveled for favors from Saudis dropped them like a stone. Their quick calculation was that they needed to duck and cover for a while. The Washington swamp is really just a huge pond where the scum goes all the way down. Donald Trump could be given some credit for calling it what it is, except, in spite of his promise to “drain”

it, he has flooded it with more contaminants. Every day, he and his henchmen come up with another way to add to our political pollution. At least they don’t pretend to be anything but a crass act. The latest treat from them is word that Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly and national security adviser John Bolton held a high-level catfight outside the Oval Office litter box, loudly squalling profanities at each other in earshot of our leader. And who could have possibly imagined that he and stripper-porn star Stormy Daniels would publicly exchange vitriolic tweets, years after he allegedly got it on with her. He now has called her “Horseface,” and she tweeted back with her own nickname, “Tiny,” obviously referring to his manhood. At least he hasn’t had her killed. That we know of. As for our other glitterati dazzling in Washington society, they’ll find ways to replace all that money from Saudi Arabia that pays for their kids’ private schools and their first-class travel. They’ll need to for a while, until the storm (the Saudi one, not the stripper one) blows over. And it will. The special-interest snakes will soon slither out of their lairs, where they sought cover, and they’ll soon take more bites out of the rotten apples. It’s too tasty to let a little expedient conscience get in the way.

Ballot Measure 1 will be disastrous for outdoor enthusiasts

Alaskans love to hunt and fish. A quick glance at any Alaskans’ social media feed in the fall, with all the photos of harvested moose, caribou, ducks, and fish is proof of that. It’s the reason many of us live here. Unfortunately, that way of life is under attack. As written, Ballot Measure 1 works to restrict Alaskan outdoor enthusiasts’ access to lands and waters. The measure was written by environmental activists who would love nothing more than to make hunting, shooting, and trapping in Alaska more difficult, if not impossible. Ballot Measure 1 supporters claim to want to protect fish habitat. Sounds good on its face; who doesn’t want to protect the fish we all love? Unfortunately for the environmental activists pushing this thing, we outdoor folks are naturally suspicious when it comes to “Ballot Box Biology.” So, we dug into the issue, and quickly figured out how deceptive it really is. Here’s how Ballot Measure 1 could impact anyone interested in hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation: Ballot Measure 1 creates new minor individual permits and imposes a new process for general permits (common use and public interest permits). Under the measure, nearly all waters in Alaska are presumed to be important fish habitat until proven otherwise. Never mind if the stream or lake hasn’t seen a salmon in 40 years; now it is assumed to be fish habitat, an assumption that will be difficult and expensive to disprove. • Many areas and outdoor activities would be subject to new permitting criteria, public comment periods, public meet— The New York Times, Oct. 15 ings, and increased potential for lawsuits

A laska V oices J ohn S turgeon , C raig C ompeau , R ick R ydell , F rank and S ue E ntsminger , K evin K ehoe , E ddie G rasser by Outside environmental groups. Areas and activities potentially affected:Nearly all waters in Alaska, potentially including coastal marine waters • Landing small planes on lakes, river beds, and along the coast of Alaska • Crossing streams, rivers, or lakes in boats or all-terrain vehicles • Access to boat launches, docks, river banks, and Special Areas • Any onshore activity that affects areas in close proximity to waters that may have fish • For general permits, Ballot Measure 1 requires:A 30-day public comment period • At least one public hearing, if requested by an “interested person” (the “interested person” is not required to live in Alaska) • Opportunity for any “interested person,” including Outside groups like PETA, Sierra Club, and the Center for Biological Diversity, etc., to challenge every decision and every permit, and then appeal to the Superior Court.

Make no mistake, Ballot Measure 1 will be disastrous for anglers, hunters and trappers. Trying to get a permit for even the most basic outdoors activity will become complex, risky, expensive, and time-consuming. Alaska’s great outdoors could quickly become tangled in a web of red tape and litigation. This is not an exaggeration; the ballot measure’s language is clear (see sections 2, 3, 6 and 8). The added restrictions, burdens, and costs under these permits directly impact the lives and outdoor activities of individual Alaskans — not companies or businesses. These minor individual and general permits restrict the ability of Alaskans to quickly access lands and waters for recreation, hunting, fishing, camping, and other outdoor activities. We know this sounds crazy. How could something this radical ever make it to the ballot? Good question. It’s hard to believe something this restrictive is actually up for a vote in a state like Alaska. Like it or not, whether you hunt, fish, camp, hike, or recreate in the great outdoors, Ballot Measure 1 is bad for Alaska, and even worse for Alaskans. All Alaskans, especially sportsmen should loudly and clearly say no to Ballot Box Biology — Vote No on 1 on Nov. 6.

Sales are brisk as Mega Millions Trump says US will pull out nuke pact jackpot hits $1.6 billion By ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — The Mega Millions lottery may see a streak of jackpot rollovers end as it heads toward a record $1.6 billion drawing on Tuesday. As more tickets sell, chances grow that at least one buyer will pick all six winning numbers. That would stop the streak of 25 rollovers, most recently on Friday night. Based on sales projections, 75 percent of the 302 million possible combinations will be chosen for Tuesday’s drawing, up from 59.1 percent in Friday’s, said Carole Gentry, spokeswoman for Maryland Lottery and Gaming. “It’s possible that nobody wins again but it’s hard to fathom,” Gentry said. About 280 million tickets sold in Friday’s drawing, none matching the winning mix of 7, 15, 23, 53, 65 and 70 to claim an estimated prize of $1 billion. Fifteen tickets matched five numbers for second-tier prizes of at least $1 million. The $1.6 billion estimated jackpot would be the largest prize in U.S. history . The second-largest jackpot was a $1.586 billion Powerball drawing on Jan. 13, 2016. Russ Lopez, spokesman for the California Lottery, said

tickets were going “very, very quickly” on Saturday. Tonya Jimenez, assistant manager at Beavers Market in Fort Collins, Colorado, said all three registers were going Saturday, a day after the store sold 220 tickets. Many hopefuls haven’t played before. “We tell them how to play it,” she said. “They don’t know

what to do. We’re doing a lot of explaining.” The Mega Millions jackpot has been growing since July, when a group of 11 California office workers won $543 million. It costs $2 to play the game. The odds of winning the jackpot are about one in 302 million but, with so many tickets

being purchased, the likelihood of rollover becomes increasingly slim. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets hit,” Gentry said. “I’d be more surprised if it doesn’t get hit.” Mega Millions is played in 44 states Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Candles, flashlights, no AC in Florida By BRENDAN FARRINGTON and JAY REEVES Associated Press

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) — It’s the greatest need after a hurricane and sometimes the hardest one to fulfill: Electricity. More than a week after Hurricane Michael smashed into the Florida Panhandle on a path of destruction that led all the way to the Georgia border, more than 100,000 Florida customers were still without power, according to the state Department of Emergency Management website. Martha Reynolds sat outside

her mother’s sweltering home Friday with relatives, including several young children, in a lowincome Panama City neighborhood. The electricity has been off since the day Michael struck. Candles and flashlights provide light after dark, she said, and they crank up a generator at night to power an air conditioner that cools four adults and five kids. “We try to eat off the grill and keep as much ice as we can,” she said. “We’re all looking at each other, we’re all here, so that’s a blessing.” A few streets over, Justin Ward’s family gathered under a

canopy set up under a shady tree in front of their hot, powerless home. “We’re making it. The power is on one street over. It’s supposed to be on here tomorrow,” he said. While more than half the outages are in Bay County, where the storm came in between coastal Mexico Beach and Panama City, rural counties had a greater percentage of people without power eight days after the storm. That includes Calhoun County, where 86 percent of customers of the local electric cooperative had no electricity. “We’re trying to make sure

they understand how widespread the damage was and that we’re leveraging every resource that we possibly can to get it on as quickly as we can,” said Jeff Rogers, a spokesman for Gulf Power, which serves most of Bay County and seven other counties in the region. It doesn’t serve Calhoun. “This was an unprecedented storm.”

ELKO, Nevada — President Donald Trump said Saturday he will exit a landmark arms control agreement the United States signed with the former Soviet Union, saying that Russia is violating the pact and it’s preventing the U.S. from developing new weapons. The 1987 pact, which helps protect the security of the U.S. and its allies in Europe and the Far East, prohibits the United States and Russia from possessing, producing or test-flying a ground-launched cruise missile with a range of 300 to 3,400 miles. “Russia has violated the agreement. They have been violating it for many years,” Trump said after a rally in Elko, Nevada. “And we’re not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we’re not allowed to.” The agreement has constrained the U.S. from developing new weapons, but America will begin developing them unless Russia and China agree not to possess or develop the weapons, Trump said. China is not currently party to the pact. “We’ll have to develop those weapons, unless Russia comes to us and China comes to us and they all come to us and say let’s really get smart and let’s none of us develop those weapons, but if Russia’s doing it and if China’s doing it, and we’re adhering to the agreement, that’s unacceptable,” he said. National Security Adviser John Bolton was headed Saturday to Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia. His first stop is Moscow, where he’ll meet with Russian leaders, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev. His visit comes at a time when Mos-

cow-Washington relations also remain frosty over the Ukrainian crisis, the war in Syria and allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential race and upcoming U.S. midterm elections. There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin or the Russian Foreign Ministry on Trump’s announcement. Trump didn’t provide details about violations, but in 2017, White House national security officials said Russia had deployed a cruise missile in violation of the treaty. Earlier, the Obama administration accused the Russians of violating the pact by developing and testing a prohibited cruise missile. Russia has repeatedly denied that it has violated the treaty and has accused the United States of not being in compliance. Defense Secretary James Mattis has previously suggested that a Trump administration proposal to add a sea-launched cruise missile to America’s nuclear arsenal could provide the U.S. with leverage to try to convince Russia to come back in line on the arms treaty. Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in February that the country would only consider using nuclear weapons in response to an attack involving nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction, or in response to a non-nuclear assault that endangered the survival of the Russian nation. “We are slowly slipping back to the situation of cold war as it was at the end of the Soviet Union, with quite similar consequences, but now it could be worse because (Russian President Vladimir) Putin belongs to a generation that had no war under its belt,” said Dmitry Oreshkin, an independent Russian political analyst. “These people aren’t as much fearful of a war as people of Brezhnev’s epoch. They think if they threaten the West properly, it gets scared.”

Marchers demand new Brexit vote By SYLVIA HUI Associated Press

LONDON — Hundreds of thousands of protesters opposed to Britain’s impending exit from the European Union marched through central London on Saturday, demanding a new referendum and to have a say on the government’s final Brexit deal with the EU. Organizers say another public vote is needed because new facts have come out about the costs and complexity of Britain’s exit from the bloc since voters chose to leave in 2016. They estimated that some 700,000 people took part Saturday in the “People’s Vote March,” which saw 150 buses of marchers pour into the British capital from all across the country. Police did not provide an attendance estimate. “What’s clear is that the only options on the table now from the prime minister are a bad Brexit deal, or no deal whatsoever,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who joined the march, told the BBC. “That’s a million miles away from what was promised 2 1/2 years ago.” Khan said Saturday’s protest was a “march for the future” for young Britons, including those who were too young to vote in Britain’s 2016 Brexit referendum, when those who favored leaving the EU won narrowly by 52 percent. The mayor, from the opposition Labour Party, has previously backed mounting calls for a fresh referendum so the public can have a say on whether they accept Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal or choose to stay in the EU. May, the leader of Britain’s Conservatives, has ruled out another public vote on the sub-

Did you know?

ject. That didn’t stop the crowds on Saturday from demanding one. Among them was “Lord of the Rings” actor Andy Serkis, who marched with his son and wife. Serkis said he believes there should be a second referendum “now that people are more informed.” Britain is scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, but negotiations over the divorce have been plagued by disagreements, particularly over the future border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It will be the U.K.’s only land border with the EU after Brexit, for Ireland is part of the EU and Northern Ireland is part of the U.K. One of the great accomplishments of the 1998 peace deal that ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland was to dismantle the police and military presence at the border with Ireland. Many on both sides do not want a “hard” border again. There are also growing fears of a “no-deal” British exit,

which could create chaos at the borders and in the EU and the British economies. May, speaking at an inconclusive EU summit in Brussels this week, said she would consider extending a proposed 21-month post-Brexit transition period for the U.K — one that could keep Britain aligned to EU rules for more than two years after its March departure. The EU has said extending that period would give more time to strike a trade deal that ensures the Irish border remains friction-free. Pro-Brexit politicians in Britain, however, saw it as an attempt to bind the country to the bloc indefinitely. “This week’s fresh chaos and confusion over Brexit negotiations has exposed how even the best deal now available will be a bad one for Britain,” said Andrew Adonis, a Labour member of the House of Lords. “Voters will neither forgive nor forget if (lawmakers) allow this miserable Brexit to proceed without people being given the final say.”

Wrestling sees changes Kenai changes divisions, weight classes shift By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

W restling R oundup /

Changes are coming to the prep wrestling scene on the peninsula, and there is no real consensus as to how things will shake out by the state meet in mid-December. The easiest change to spot this year is the move of the Kenai Central program from Division I to Division II, thanks to an offseason shakeup that affected most of Kenai’s athletic programs.

P age B2 tures state wrestling powerhouse Homer. It’s a move that has Kenai head coach Stan Steffensen feeling optimistic. “I think going forward, it’s probably going to be a good deal,” Steffensen said. “It’ll be exciting, it’s a new start. It’s a place we belong.” Soldotna head coach Neldon Gardner, a 1977 KCHS grad, said the move shouldn’t affect the Stars “in any way shape or form,” although he is glad to

see his team competing against Kenai in the opening month of the season, which got under way last weekend with the Luke Spruill Memorial Tournament at KCHS. “In wrestling, the individual is No. 1 and the team is No. 2,” Gardner said. “You want to win the team title as a coach, and as an individual you want to win an individual title. … Our first four weekends are on the peninsula, so we won’t see too many schools outside our area.” Division II teams on the peninsula are also welcoming the change. The Homer Mariners are winners of the last three KacheSee PIN , page B2

Stulls own Polar Vortex By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Anchorage Invasion made its annual trip to the Kenai Peninsula on Saturday afternoon to dominate the front of the field at the Polar Vortex Cyclocross race at the Tsalteshi Trails. Anchorage rider Jamie Stull paved the way for a Stull family sweep on the dirt, winning the overall race to the finish by completing seven laps in 1 hour,

1 minute, 44 seconds, while wife, Amber Stull, took the women’s win by a lap over her 14-year-old daughter, Cadence Stull. Amber Stull took second last year in the Polar Vertex behind another Anchorage rider, Jessie Donohue, and said this year, her biggest concern came from her own family. “She’s beaten me fair and square in two races now this year,” Amber said. “But this kind Anchorage rider Jamie Stull leads the front group in the Polar Vortex Cyclocross race Saturday at the Tsalteshi Trails in Soldotna.

Brown Bears topple Topeka to halt 3-game skid Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears snapped a three-game losing streak by topping the host Topeka (Kansas) Pilots 5-2 on Saturday in North American Hockey League play. The game left the Brown Bears tied for second in the Midwest Division standings with the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets. Kenai River is 8-5-0-1 to match Janesville with 17 points, while the Minnesota Magicians lead the division with 18 points and the Fairbanks Ice Dogs are in fourth place with 15 points. After Friday’s 3-2 loss to the Pilots, Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich said his team was doing the right things but not getting rewarded and

not getting the bounces. That changed quickly Saturday. Just 6 seconds into the game, Markuss Komuls, assisted by Logan Ritchie, threw the puck at the Topeka net and saw it slip between the goalie’s elbow and hip for an early 1-0 lead. “We finally got that bounce and that relieved a little pressure on the guys and they went to work from there,” Petrich said. “They did what they’ve been doing the last three games, and they got rewarded for it tonight.” Petrich said Topeka’s top line is extremely dangerous. He said the line earned power plays that resulted in both of the Pilots’ goals. The first goal came before the end of the first period for a 1-all game. Kenai River would score the next three goals of the game to take control.

With 9:54 left in the second period, Eagle River’s Zach Krajnik had a great zone entry play and hit Michael Spethmann for a bang-bang goal. JJ Boucher also had an assist. The next two goals came from establishing a net-front presence that Petrich emphasized in the video session before the game. Krajnik had a power-play goal assisted by Connor Scahill and Alex Klekotka, and Spethmann scored assisted by Krajnik and Boucher. After Topeka made it 4-2 in the third with a power-play goal, Andy Walker finished the scoring by tossing in an empty-net goal all the way from the Brown Bears’ blue line. Ritchie assisted. “It was a great team effort,” Petrich said. “It was not a relief because

we know we have a good team. It felt good to get back in the win column with Janesville and Fairbanks winning and us being able to gain a game on the Magicians.” Petrich said goalie Gavin Enright, who had 29 saves, made the plays he had to, to get the win. Friday, the Bears fell 3-2 for a third straight loss. During the string, which included one shootout loss, Kenai River had outshot opponents by an average of 11 shots per game. “I’m a big guy on measuring scoring chances,” Petrich said after Friday’s game. “In eight of the last nine periods, we’ve been the better team but we haven’t capitalized on scoring chances.” During the three-game skid, Petrich said the goaltending and defense has

been good, but it hasn’t been perfect. “We made mistakes,” Petrich said. “They weren’t catastrophic, but they scored a couple of nice goals. The guys just have to keep doing what they’re doing, and stay bought into the system, and we’ll get a reward.” The coach said another positive sign is the players are not accepting losing. “We’ve got guys that are playing really well, but they’re frustrated and don’t understand why they’re not scoring,” Petrich said. “That’s actually a positive sign because they want more. They want to be elite.” Topeka scored the only goal of the first period, then went up 2-0 with 7:15 left in the second period on a power-play goal. See BEARS, page B3

Dodgers topple Brewers in Game 7 By GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

MILWAUKEE — Yasiel Puig and Cody Bellinger flexed their muscles. Chris Taylor flashed some leather. Then the Los Angeles Dodgers got a lift from ace Clayton Kershaw out of the bullpen to finish off the Milwaukee Brewers and return to the World Series. Puig broke open a tight contest with a three-run homer in the sixth inning, Taylor robbed Christian Yelich with a super catch and the Dodgers took

Game 7 of the NL Championship Series with a 5-1 win on Saturday night. It’s off to Fenway Park for a showdown against the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday. “It’s pretty cool. It’s going to be a pretty special series,” said Bellinger, chosen as the NLCS MVP. Los Angeles hasn’t won the World Series since 1988. The Dodgers and Red Sox have met once before in the World Series, back in 1916 with Boston beating Brooklyn behind a big game from pitcher Babe Ruth.

Kenley Jansen tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings before yielding to Kershaw in the ninth. The three-time Cy Young Award winner, pitching on two days of rest after starting Game 5, finished off the Brewers by striking out Mike Moustakas in a perfect ninth. Kershaw’s teammates mobbed the lefty near the mound after the final out, and the celebration was just beginning for the Dodgers. “I’m just so proud of our guys for enduring this roller coaster of a season,” manager Dave Roberts said.

What a surge for a team that was 10 games under .500 on May 16. The Dodgers have talked about having unfinished business after losing Game 7 of the World Series last year to the Houston Astros. Now they’ve made baseball’s final series of the year in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1977-78. “I know how lucky I am to be a part of it two years in a The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrate after Game 7 of the Narow,” Bellinger said.

Homer wrestlers take Round Robin Rumble Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The host Homer wrestling team won the Homer Round Robin Rumble on Saturday. The Mariners scored 209.5 points for the victory, while Nikiski was second with 122, Soldotna was third with 120, Kenai Central was fourth with 119, Kodiak was fifth with 116.5 and Voznesenka was sixth with 115. Homer received titles from Seth Inama at 130 pounds, Wayne Newman at 140, Mose Hayes at 152,

mak Conference titles, and have followed up the 2016 Division II state title with two straight state runner-up finishes. Homer assistant coach Chris Perk said the Kards should inject a handful of region contenders into the mix, but he’s not confident the Kards are ready to contend for a region title. “They have one or two wrestlers that will challenge us for a state berth (in weight classes), and it’ll make our conference tougher,” he said. “If we can show our toughness, in the future, maybe we can get a state berth back, but we just have to wrestle a little tougher now. “It’s going to take them a couple years, they had a pretty solid middle school program last year, so we’ll see if that continues.” Nikiski’s Adam Anders also welcomed Kenai, which sits just 20 minutes down the Kenai Spur Highway from Nikiski, into the fold. “It makes things tougher on us,” Anders said. “They’re a well-coached team and we’ll have to rise to the challenge.” On the statewide level, another change in 2018 is expected to turn up the competitive wick, although it’s seeing a mixed bag of reviews. The weight class categories received a tweak in the offseason as the smallest class, 98 pounds, was dropped to lower the total divisions from 15 to 14. The lightweight division begins at 103 pounds, and continues to 112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215 and 285 pounds. Seen as a redistribution of competitor numbers in each class, the change is a return to a more traditional division in weights, and also lines up more with the current national high school standard. Anders said it should help bulk up some of the weight classes that were lagging in numbers, while evening out others that were stacked with talent. “It’ll make some of our brackets a little more solid,” he said. “It’ll also help with dual meet competitions, making it a little more realistic for teams to produce a full lineup because there’ll be fewer weight classes

of course suits my strengths.” Held at the Tsalteshi Trails, the hourlong event challenges bikers to complete as many laps as possible after the 60-minute mark hits. Amber Stull was the only female rider to make it seven laps on the two-mile course, doing so in 1:11:14, while Cadence made six laps in 1:05:25. The top peninsula rider was Seward’s Chaz DiMarzio, who hung with the leaders for most of the race before finishing third, 38 seconds behind Stull. Soldotna’s Tyle Owens also battled for the lead in the early stages before finishing fifth in 1:05:03. Soldotna’s Landen Showalter won the youth race by completing six laps in 1:13:20. Soldotna rider Morgan Aldridge was the top peninsula women’s racer, crossing the finish line fourth among women and 17th overall, completing six laps in 1:08:37. The race effectively put an end to the summer cycling race season, although the balmy temperatures Saturday appeared to indicate that several more weeks could be coming. Unlike last year when the race ran under considerably colder conditions and a frozen dirt trail, the course this year made for ide-

Talon Whicker won for Kenai Central at 103, while Pierce Peterson won at 119 and Tucker Vann won at 160. Finally, Maxim Kusnetsov won for Voznesenka at 125, Dia Martishev won at 145 and Anthony Kalugin won at 189. Friday, the teams participated in

to fill.” Seward coach Andrew Scrivo pointed out that the change should also benefit programs from Southcentral Alaska more than the northern teams that have weight rooms filled with smaller competitors. “We just got out of whack a few years ago when we were talking about how small some of the kids were from the rural schools,” he said. “It was just an Alaska state vote kind of thing.” Steffensen criticized the move, saying that while the middle weights should not be affected much, the lightweights might suffer for small competitors being grouped with slightly bigger kids. “It’s like, what the heck,” Steffensen said. “It’s not the best thing for wrestling. Without a 98-pound class we’re not able to get the younger kids out and wrestling should be a sport where the lighter guy gets to participate at his weight.” Gardner, meanwhile, said he sees both sides of the coin, being a former lightweight wrestler himself. With 103 pounds being the new standard for smallest grapplers, the longtime Soldotna-area coach said the little guys will need to beef up a bit. “I was 98-pounder, I weighed 95 and wrestled up and ate all I wanted and loved life,” Gardner said with a chuckle. “If there was only a 103 (class) those guys would be heavier than me.” A series of peninsula meets in October and November will give athletes a feel for the new changes. Starting with the Spruill meet last weekend and the Homer Round Robin Rumble this weekend, local grapplers will get mat time Oct. 26 and 27 at the King of the Mountain duals in Seward and Nov. 2 and 3 at the Top Dog Invite in Nikiski. The Kachemak Conference tournament for local Division II squads kicks off Dec. 7 and 8. The tournament sends the top three wrestlers to state with two at-large berths across the state available. The Division I Northern Lights Conference sends the top five from each weight class to state. Additionally for both meets, the top two female wrestlers in each weight class qualify for the girls state tour-

nament.

al riding in warmer temperatures. Utilizing most of the Wolverine Loop, the Bear and Goat climbs, and a portion of boggy trail, Amber Stull said she was able to make it to the start-finish area before the leaders came through for the finish, meaning she was able to stay on the lead lap. “(Cadence) can beat me on the long uphills,” Amber said. “This course was more punchy, and I love it. You can redline, then recover. Redline, then recover.” Stull made the trip down with husband Jamie, Cadence and 10-year-old Dara, who finished 26th overall in 1:07:35, good for third among youth. The men’s race featured a three-way battle between Stull, Brad Manderfield and DiMarzio. Last year, Stull won in a much tighter race, edging Manderfield by three seconds. This year’s event saw Stull have to dig his way out of a deficit after a stick became lodged in his derailleur late in the race. “With two laps to go I had this huge stick in my derailleur,” Stull explained. “Me and Chuck (DiMarzio) had to run Brad back down.” Manderfield said he tried to take advantage of Stull’s misfortune to grab a sizable lead, but he knew what Stull was capable of. “I knew it was inevitable that he’d catch me,” Manderfield said. “It was his race.” Manderfield said he slipped

up once, after Stull had gone by for the lead for the last time. “There was this mud pit with a 90-degree turn and I just ate it,” he said. Stull, the owner of Chain Reaction Cycles and 9:Zero:7 Fatbikes in Anchorage, said he does not make it down to the Kenai much in the summer to ride or hike, but has come down for the Polar Vortex race three years in a row. “We’ve made it down for the Tri-the-Kenai (Triathlon) this year and this one,” he said. Stull and Manderfield often compete together in the Anchorage Arctic Cross series, which wrapped up last weekend, and said the camaraderie and competition makes for a fun summer and fall. Chainwreck series organizer Mark Beeson also handed out season awards after the race. The top men’s rider of the year title went to three different riders on a tie, with Mike Crawford, Brian Beeson and Tyle Owens sharing the honor. The top female rider of the year was Morgan Aldridge, followed by Jen Showalter and Jen Tabor. The top youth Soldotna youth rider Landen Showalter (front) leads mother Jen Showalter early in the Polar rider was Dylan Hogue, followed Vortex Cyclocross race Saturday at the Tsalteshi Trails in Soldotna.

KENAI KARDINALS Steffensen said the Kenai weight room is currently seeing over 20 kids out, and the enthusiasm is strong early on. “The one thing about it, this year the kids are still wrestling,” he said. “Small or large, they still get out there and wrestle. It’s kind of like those looking forward to duck season, we’re looking forward to wrestling season.” The Kards are returning two state competitors from 2017, led by 160-pound sophomore Tucker Vann and heavyweight senior Jacob Grant. Vann went 15-14 last year en route to a quarterfinal loss in the 138-pound class at state, and Grant got as far as the NLC semifinals to wrap up an 18-8 season. Other seniors to watch for include Brandon Kroto at 152 pounds, Keaton Logston at 145 and Kaden McKibben at 160, although Steffensen said McKibben could go to 171 pounds. Steffensen said junior Pierce Peterson returns at 119 pounds, while sophomores Rocky Sherbahn at 189 and Joe Sylvester at 145 or 152 are back. Freshman Talon Whicker made his prep debut last week at the Spruill tourney with a win at 103 pounds. On the girls side, freshman Olivia Easley could be a contender at 125 pounds. SOLDOTNA STARS Gardner said his program traditionally takes a few weeks to really start humming as the Stars football season adds another championship trophy to the case, but now that football season is over, he sees major progress. “We never really get rolling until after (the King of the Mountain tournament),” he said. “We’re at an 80 to 90 percent lineup, but by Nikiski we should be rolling.” Gardner, in his 35th year coaching, said he has about 30 total kids showing up, with eight to 10 of those fresh off the football season. SoHi senior Gideon Hutchison returns for another go after claiming a state championship at 120 pounds last year, the 12th for his family. Hutchison became the fifth of his sib-

lings to win a state crown, and will take a crack at 130 or 135 pounds this year after going 35-3 last season. “Here you have a senior state champ returning at 130, he’s growing and he’s bigger, and he might meet another state champ from another school,” Gardner said. “I look for him to win a title.” Another senior, Logan Craig, returns to knock down the state title that has eluded him. Craig has placed at state the last three years, including a semifinal run last year at 106 pounds to cap a 25-12 campaign. Craig will compete at 112 pounds this year, Gardner said. From there, Gardner said the SoHi roster is full of potential, including juniors Hudson Metcalf at 189 pounds (who was one win away from placing at state last year), Aaron Faletoi at 215 and Sean Babbit at 171, who broke his ankle prior to the region tournament last year. Another junior, Brayde Wolfe, will compete at 145 or 152 after missing the 2017 season with a broken wrist. Gardner said others to watch for include juniors Ben Booth at 130, Eli Floyd at 215 and Melvin Lloyd at 285.

HOMER MARINERS Chasing their fourth consecutive conference title won’t be easy, but Perk said the Mariners are focusing on the bigger picture, which is a state championship. Perk said the biggest thing that kept Homer from winning it all last December was the depth of Bethel, which picked up valuable points in the consolation brackets, even though Homer placed seven athletes in the state finals. “I’ve got to believe that it’s us two schools again,” he said. “Glennallen had another good performance this weekend, Dillingham is returning some good wrestlers. This year, if Glennallen and Dillingham can score a few points, it’ll bring all of us down to a manageable situation. “If we can get seven kids in the finals again, we’ll have a really good shot at winning.” Homer stands a chance by returning three state boys champions and five state finalists, including senior Seth Inama (who won at 120 pounds), senior Luciano Fasulo (132)

and junior Mose Hayes (138). Levi King also won a state title at 195 pounds but graduated. Fasulo ended 2017 with a 97-match win streak intact that dates to his sophomore season, and looks to continue it this year, but Perk said it will have to wait as Fasulo currently is healing from a knee injury sustained in practice. Perk said Fasulo could be out two to four weeks, and upon his return will need to get in competitive shape to win at 135 pounds. Inama will move up to 125 pounds while Hayes will take on 152 pounds this year after going 41-8 last season. Homer also crowned two girls champions in Alex Moseley (120 pounds) and McKenzie Cook (145). Moseley graduated but Cook returns for her senior year. Another state boys finalist returns is senior Wayne Newman, a three-time state finalist who is looking for that elusive title. Senior Jadin Mann missed last with a shoulder injury, but Perk said if Mann returns, he will likely be the top-ranked athlete at 285 pounds. Other grapplers looking to place at state include seniors Ian Stovall at 130, Alex Miller at 189 and Hunter Harrington at 215. A stout sophomore class includes Josh Bradshaw at 160, Dakota Moonin at 140 and Bruce Graham at 152. Perk said the Mariners host a “boatload” of freshmen, starting with middle school champions Michael Ritter at 103 pounds, Timmy Hatfield at 135, Seraphim Macauly at 145 and Alex Hicks at 215.

189-pound senior Malcolm Yerkes. “We definitely have the potential to (make state),” Anders said. “We just have to stay healthy, and put in the work to do that.” Last year, Nikiski suffered from a spate of injuries that crippled the team’s chances of placing high at the conference meet. Anders is hoping for better luck this year. “That’s our game plan, keep everyone healthy and on top of their academics,” he said. “So far so good.” On the girls side, junior Destiny Martin returns to tackle the 125-pound girls class. SEWARD SEAHAWKS

Working in tandem with longtime wrestling coach Ronn Hemstock, Scrivo said his wrestling room holds at least 10 kids, with more potentially to come with eligibility checks and recruitment. Seward may have the biggest boy-to-girl ratio in the state, with five girls and five boys occupying the Seward High mats. Returning to the Seahawks is sophomore Gabriel Wood at 119 pounds and junior Jaden Van Dyke at 160. Scrivo said Van Dyke is a team captain, and is looking for his third straight trip to state this year, as well as his first conference championship. Sophomore Thomas Ooka returns at 130, while freshmen Steven Harshman at 171 and Kekoa Albino at 215 are new. On the girls side, juniors Naomi Ifflander at 119 and Rebekah Christenson at 145 return as region contenders. Christenson won her class at the King of Mountain meet last year.

Tatum helps Celtics hold off Knicks By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jayson Tatum had 24 points and 14 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics withstood his careless foul with 1.9 seconds left to beat the New York Knicks 103-101 on Saturday night. Tatum had just given the Celtics a three-point lead with two free throws with 7.9 seconds left and the Knicks called their final timeout. They had trouble getting the ball inbounded from the sideline, and Knicks guard Trey Burke had to race into the backcourt to retrieve it as the clocked ran down. He pulled up for a 3-pointer from well beyond the arc and Tatum jumped to contest it, fouling Burke for three free throws that could have tied

it.

Defenseman Scahill, on an assist from Boucher, then scored the first of his two goals before the end of the second to cut the gap to 2-1. Topeka had a big goal with 6:12 left in the third for a 3-1 advantage before Scahill, assisted by Komuls and Eagle River’s Sutton McDonald, scored with 1:53 left. Scahill now has four goals and five assists in 13 games after racking three goals and 11 assists in 53 games for the Bears last season. “Connor’s a good hockey player and we’re happy about the success he’s starting to have,” Petrich said. “He’s taking that next step as a secondyear guy.” During the losing streak, three of the four goals had come from defensemen. “The focus of our video session will be net-front presence for the forwards,” Petrich said. Dennis Westergard made 20 saves for Kenai River, while Emil Gransoe stopped 25 for Topeka. The Bears then stay on the road for Friday and Saturday games at 4:05 p.m. ADT

Today in History Today is Sunday, Oct. 21, the 294th day of 2018. There are 71 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 21, 1971, President Richard Nixon nominated Lewis F. Powell and William H. Rehnquist to the U.S. Supreme Court. (Both nominees were confirmed.) On this date: In 1797, the U.S. Navy frigate Constitution, also known as “Old Ironsides,” was christened in Boston’s harbor. In 1879, Thomas Edison perfected a workable electric light at his laboratory in Menlo Park, N.J.

In 1962, the Seattle World’s Fair closed after six months and nearly 10 million visitors. (President John F. Kennedy, scheduled to attend the closing ceremony, canceled because of what was described as a “head cold”; the actual reason turned out to be the Cuban Missile Crisis.) In 1966, 144 people, 116 of them children, were killed when a coal waste landslide engulfed a school and some 20 houses in Aberfan, Wales. In 1967, the Israeli destroyer INS Eilat was sunk by Egyptian missile boats near Port Said (sah-EED’); 47 Israeli crew members were lost. Tens of thousands of Vietnam War protesters began two days of demonstrations in Washington, D.C. In 1986, pro-Iranian kidnappers in Lebanon abducted American Edward Tracy (he was released in Aug. 1991). In 1991, American hostage Jesse Turner was freed by his kidnappers in Lebanon after nearly five years in captivity. In 1996, President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays in the military survived its first Supreme Court test. In 2001, Washington, D.C., postal worker Thomas L. Morris Jr. died of inhalation anthrax as officials began testing thousands of postal employees. Ten years ago: Dozens of members of the Mongol motorcycle gang were arrested by federal agents in six states on a variety of charges following a three-year investigation in which undercover agents infiltrated the group. Iraq’s Cabinet decided to ask the U.S. for changes to the draft agreement that would keep American troops there for three more years. The former prime minister of Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra (TAHK’-sin SHIN’-uh-wah), was convicted in absentia of corruption and sentenced to two years in prison. Five years ago: A seventh-grader at Sparks Middle School in Sparks, Nevada, shot and killed a teacher and wounded two classmates before taking his own life. Same-sex weddings began in New Jersey, the 14th state to recognize nuptials between gay partners. The San Francisco Bay Area’s main commuter train system and its unions reached a tentative agreement on a new contract. One year ago: The five living former presidents appeared together for the first time since 2013 at a concert in Texas to raise money for victims of devastating hurricanes. The Houston Astros reached the World Series for just the second time in the team’s history, beating the New York Yankees 4-0 in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series.

val Giants for most among NL teams. The Brewers had their chances against rookie starter Walker Buehler, a 24-year-old right-hander who navigated through trouble over 4 2/3 innings. He allowed six hits, including a home run in the first by Yelich that made it 1-0. Yelich looked like he would hurt the Dodgers again in the fifth with Lorenzo Cain on second with two outs. The NL MVP candidate hit a high, hard liner to left that seemed destined to fall in for a double. Running at full speed to his left, Taylor extended his glove high in the air just as the ball settled into the mitt to end the inning. “They made the plays, they made the pitches when they had to (make) to win,” Yelich said. AFTER HADER: The Dodgers waited for lights-out lefty Josh Hader to leave the game to get their bats going again. Brewers manager Craig Counsell brought in Hader in the third after starter Jhoulys Chacin allowed a two-run homer to Bellinger in the second for a 2-1 lead for the Dodgers. Hader tossed three shutout innings, striking out four before being pulled after 31 pitches. Milwaukee’s vaunted bullpen then scuffled in the sixth. Puig’s three-run shot off reliever Jeremy Jeffress quieted the breathless, screaming Brewers fans at Miller Park. Puig had been hitless in his previous five at-bats against Jeffress, striking out each time. POWER PACKED: The excitable Puig raised both arms as he rounded second, wiggling his fingers skyward to mimic the Brewers’ trademark celebration move. Manny Machado, the object of nonstop boos from Milwaukee fans, obliged with the same gesture as he watched from the dugout steps. Bellinger raised his right arm and pointed to his biceps as he rounded third after his homer. The mighty Dodgers, who hit an NL-best 235 homers, outslugged the Brewers, who were second in the league with 218. WHAT A CATCH: Taylor said that it was so loud in the outfield that trying to communicate with Bellinger in center while tracking Yelich’s liner in the gap in the fifth was difficult. It was about reacting at that point, Taylor said. “A lefty hits it in the gap, it kind of tails. You really don’t know how much that ball is going to tail. So really, it’s just a reaction play,” he said. LOOKING FORWARD: The loss ended a remarkable year for the Brewers. A late surge led by Yelich lifted Milwaukee from 5 1/2 games out of the NL Central lead on Aug. 28 to one win short of the franchise’s second World Series appearance. “They took us on an amazing journey,” Counsell said about his team. “It was a magical run.” An American League team in 1982, the Brewers lost the Series in seven games that year to the St. Louis Cardinals. Game 7 against the Dodgers was the first at home for the franchise, coming 36 years to the day after losing the seventh game to the Cardinals in the Series. Same result on Saturday.

The Location of the Library The Location of the Library is the only thing you ever absolutely need to know according to Albert Einstein. I spent my so-called formative years in a small farm town in eastern Washington. The business district is a mile strip along the river in the draw between the North Hill and the South Hill, where everyone lives. It is prone to spring flooding on high snow years, and those same winters used to find Main Street buried in feet of snow, with one lane plowed down either side of a big berm in the middle. My family lived ‘in the country’ about five miles from town. We usually made the trip once a week, and sometimes more often, depending on the time of year. One of our stops in town was always the library. You had to walk up the steps that started you on the way up North Hill. The library was located above the Fire station, which was built into the bottom of the hill. You climbed maybe a dozen wide steps then turned left on a path that took you to the back of the upper story, and the library. I spent a lot of time there as a child, even before I started school. I don’t remember a story hour but I do remember looking at picture books while Mom selected her own reading material. I’d pick out one or two for myself and watch the librarian stamp the due date on the gridded paper glued inside the cover, and then onto the card that was in an envelope in the book. I remember my pride when I was able to write my own name on that card to let her know who had the book. Quite different from how it’s done today. You hand over your library card to the librarian who swipes it under a bar code reader to access your record, then swipes the book and you are on your way. In most libraries these days you can even do it yourself if you are in a hurry. Don’t even have to know how to write your name. In the old home town, the librarian was an older lady or seemed so to my young eyes. She knew everyone, of course, and I suspect had been there since my mom was a kid. She would recommend books of interest to individuals as they walked in the door or give you ‘the look’ if she thought you were checking out something inappropriate to your years. I remember that look as I checked out “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” when I was in the seventh grade, but she stamped the date due on the card and slid it over for me to write my name. Mom wasn’t with me, but I expect she got an earful when she showed up. And funny thing is, my English teacher gave me the same look when I submitted it for a book report. I don’t really remember the story, but a Google check jogged my memory, and what would be regular fare for Young Adult readers now, “in my day” was rather risqué, and mature for a 12 year old. I’ve gone through a few evolutions of library services from small one room facilities where everyone knows your name to larger University Halls where you could get lost for days. We even lived in an area once where we used the Book Mobile. It would arrive in our area once a week and stay for a couple of hours. We could browse the shelves for something to read, or request them to bring a specific book the next time out. Bookmobiles are still active in many areas now, and there is even a National Book Mobile Day in April. Here in Kenai, Parks and Rec has begun a different project: Little Free Libraries. They placed one in the green strip at South Forest and Fourth and there is one also on the trail at City Park. These are designed for patrons to trade books. Just take a look and if there is something there you want to read, take it home. If you have something to share, leave it. Right now, the Forest Drive location is full of picture books, but I’m sure any adult is welcome to leave a good mystery. And Read on the Fly is available at the airport where an area is reserved for kids to select a book to keep them interested and busy on the plane. I have been to a couple of airports in the last month and Read on the Fly is up and running as a perk for traveling kids. The old home town library has moved to Main Street and is bigger and busier than when I was a kid. Just like Kenai Community Library, coincidentally, on Main Street Loop. The more things change, the more they stay the same although I haven’t seen Mary Jo practicing ‘the look’ lately.

Ergo: I get to keep the pumpkins. I think a fair solution is to keep one pumpkin and give her the other. But “Crabby Cathy” might have other ideas. Before this gets ugly again, what do you say? -- PUMPKIN PILFERER IN PETALUMA, CALIF. DEAR P.P.: Your “crabby” neighbor was correct. Your friend’s grandsons DID help themselves to her pumpkin, and it was wrong. You and your friend should both have apologized to the woman when you realized they had purloined the pumpkin, returned it and taken the kids to the store to buy one they could cut up. If you pull the trick you’re planning, it won’t necessarily be a treat. You may escalate an already unpleasant situation beyond pumpkin season, and I don’t recommend it. DEAR ABBY: I volunteer for a group that supports a cause close to my heart. Our group supports the local chapter in any way we can, and we’re currently preparing for a fundraiser.

DEAR WELCOMING DONATIONS: I have always believed the personal touch is the best, particularly when you’re putting a “touch” on someone for money. Businesses are often solicited for donations by mail and email, and the requests usually go straight to the trash. By paying a call on these businesses, if only to schedule an appointment so you can talk, you may have better luck.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 21, 2018: This year you enter a new period in which you are more likely to experiment with some ideas. However, you make it OK to nix them, too. If you are single, you meet people with ease. Sometime close to your next birthday, you most likely will meet someone who will make your heart sing. If you are attached, you and your partner manifest a long-term dream. You both will express a lot of excitement over this new step you take together. PISCES senses your next move before you even make it. 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 Rather than stepping into another challenging day, you could need to schedule some downtime. How you see a personal matter could change, given some relaxation and distance from the matter in question. Laughter surrounds a key partner. Tonight: Keep it low-key. This Week: Use Monday and Tuesday to the max. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Zero in on the possibilities; don’t worry so much about what you need to do next. Your sense of humor emerges, allowing you to relax in nearly any situation. Sometime during the day, you might want to join friends. Remember, it’s your Sunday, too. Tonight: Respond to an offer. This Week: You could feel pressured at various points this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be too tired to continue at your recent hectic pace. What you see does not compute with what is occurring around you. Slow down. You might be missing a detail, or perhaps someone forgot to fill you in. Allow more fun into your life. Tonight: Say “yes.” This Week: Your smile goes a long way in calming down a volatile friend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your sensitivity to someone at a distance might amaze even you. You know when this person feels off or is not up to snuff. A partner or close loved one could become particularly controlling. Avoid this person for now. Tonight: Do not push so hard to achieve your goals. This Week: You are ready to handle the Full Moon and more! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You see a situation differently after a discussion with a partner. This person is not always open about his or her feelings. Today, however, seems to be a different story. Listen and accept new ideas rather than challenge them. Ask questions. Tonight: Go along with a partner’s wish. This Week: All’s well that ends well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might defer to someone else, yet you still feel empowered. If a situation goes off the rails, know that

Dear Heloise: I hate aggressive driving. My insurance company provided me some hints to drive safely and avoid conflict on the road. Here are some things they advised: * Don’t tailgate. * Don’t drive too slowly in the left lane. * Don’t cut someone off. * Use bright headlights sparingly, if at all. * If somebody wants a parking space, relent. Politeness and patience always win out. If I think someone is following me, the insurance people say to drive to a police station, never to my home. -- Nancy C. in Florida

Dear Readers: Is your dog around other dogs quite a bit? He could be exposed to KENNEL COUGH. Highly contagious, kennel cough is a lung disease; your dog will have a terrible “honking” cough, no appetite, a runny nose, no energy and a fever. It is treatable, but how about an immunization against kennel cough to prevent it in the first place? Ask your veterinarian about the Bordetella vaccine, a once-a-year shot to prevent kennel cough. The Bordetella vaccine may be required if you are boarding your dog, if you take your dog to the dog park or if you have your dog enrolled in obedience classes. If your pet is around other dogs, the veterinarian should agree on the need to be protected against kennel cough! -- Heloise

you can handle it. Your ability to move through a problem draws you into a new situation before you realize it. Tonight: Go along with others’ already established plans. This Week: You might not be able to change a situation, but try anyway. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Understand your needs. If you want to take a nap, do just that. Fatigue could mark your actions and decisions. You could be too tired to continue at your recent pace. Take a day off to be a couch potato. Be spontaneous in your choices. Tonight: Join friends for fun and games. This Week: Pace yourself, but be open to a conversation at the beginning of the week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH No matter what situation you find yourself in, your creativity surges. If you are not happy with the present results, don’t hesitate to head down a different path. Reach out to a close loved one. Express your playfulness when dealing with this person. Tonight: Stay calm yet confident. This Week: You can handle whatever happens. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Stay anchored by knowing what you want to accomplish. No matter what goes on, a difficult financial situation could get the best of you. Even if you want to be lazy and do nothing, allow more playfulness into your day. Let go of being somber. Be present. Tonight: Order in. This Week: You could be greeted by a lot of excitement. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Keep a conversation moving without incorporating too much ego. You know what you want, and you know what you need. When dealing with a friend, remain as upbeat as possible. This person’s mood goes up and down frequently. Tonight: Zero in on what you want. This Week: You head into a Full Moon with promise for Wednesday. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have. You need a break from impulsiveness and the unexpected. Remember that fun does not have to cost anything. You simply might need to meet up with a friend. Understanding evolves from a difficult situation. Tonight: Time to indulge. This Week: Your patience get tested more and more. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your emotional side might be a lot more intense than you realize. A discussion provides many ideas to explore, especially with regard to making plans. A friend can be a stick in the mud. Let go of any heaviness. Stay light and easy. Tonight: Spring into action, and be spontaneous. This Week: Know your worth.

A happy afterlife

Ancient Egyptians believed that after people died, they would have an afterlife, or a next life. They wanted loved ones to enjoy the next life, so they tried to provide things they would need. In a tomb, they might put furniture, food, clothing, jewelry, artwork, prayers, and statues of servants to go with the body into the next life. Mummification was also used by other societies, such as the Incas of South America, the Chinese, and the Anasazi people of the American Southwest. In more modern times, former Soviet leader V.I. Lenin and Chinese leader Mao Tse-tung both were mummified.

Making a mummy

Before an Egyptian funeral, the body was mummified. It took special priests about 70 days to make a mummy. They performed religious ceremonies as they worked. • First, some of the vital organs were removed. The brain was thought to be the least important organ. It was removed by inserting a hook through the nose, and then it was thrown away.

The ancient Egyptians believed that some of their gods and goddesses could appear on Earth as animals. Some animals that were thought to be gods were the ram, cow, crocodile, cat and falcon. These and other animals that lived among royalty were mummified and buried much like people.

Will you be trick-or-treating on Halloween? Along with monsters, witches and ghosts, you might see a mummy or two collecting candy. But did you know that real mummies weren’t meant to be scary at all? For some ancient Egyptians, mummification was just a way of preparing their loved ones for burial after they died.

The Tutankhamun tomb had four miniature coffins made of gold with colored glass and gems. These small coffins held King Tut’s organs that had been removed during mummification. This one held his liver.

You’ve probably heard of Egypt’s King Tutankhamun (toot-ahnk-AH-moon), or King Tut. His tomb was discovered in 1922 in Egypt. It was considered one of the greatest finds in the history of archaeology (ar-kee-OL-uh-gee), partly because it had never been disturbed. Archaeologists* discovered statues of servants to serve him in the afterlife, six chariots, furniture, feathered fans and two mirrors. A mask made of gold covered the shoulders and head of King Tut’s mummy. The mask weighs about 20 pounds and is decorated with precious stones. The mummy was inside a stone sarcophagus and three coffins that fit inside each other. The coffin holding King Tut’s mummy was made of solid gold and weighed 269 pounds.

Sometimes organs were put into jars and buried with the mummy. Other times they were wrapped in linen and put back into the body. • Next, the body was covered with natron, a type of salt that dried it out. Packets of natron were placed inside the body. • When the body was dry, the packets were removed and the salt was washed off. Bundles of linen and other materials, including cinnamon, sawdust and onions, were put inside the body. False eyes were sometimes put into place. • Priests then wrapped the body with linen. They used many long strips. To protect the body on its journey, they might write words on the strips, or place amulets, or charms, between the layers. During this process, a coat of warm resin, a sap from pine and fir trees, was put on the linen, and then wrapping continued. • The mummy was then placed in a decorated coffin made of wood, stone or even gold. The coffin then might be placed in a sarcophagus (sar-COF-uh-gus), a wood or stone box, for burial.

Carbon dioxide is a big part of the carbon cycle: carbon’s path from the atmosphere, into living organisms, then turning into dead organic matter, going into the oceans, and back into the atmosphere. The cycle has sources (parts of the cycle that add carbon to the atmosphere) and sinks (parts of the cycle that remove carbon from the atmosphere). The most important sinks are the ocean (the seawater itself, the organisms living there and sediments on the sea floor) as well as plants and soil on land. adapted from climatekids.nasa.gov

Fragile trees, shrubs need some help getting through winter

Winterizing fragile trees and shrubs is a simple and prudent exercise in landscape management. Mulching and watering before the ground freezes up can save you a bundle of time and money. “As long as the soil drains well, water the trees through autumn at least once a week unless there is a lot of rainfall . a lot of rainfall,” said Gary Johnson, an Extension professor with the Department of Forest Resources at the University of Minnesota. “Soil moisture should be to a depth of 8 to 12 inches for the roots to take up water.” Apply insulating mulch but don’t overdo it. Piling mulch volcano-style against a tree trunk is the same as burying a tree too deep, Johnson said. Most tree and shrub damage in winter is not cold-related, he said. “Animal damage is the most common,” he said, recommending protective fencing around trees if deer are a problem, “or at least stem protectors like hardware cloth or plastic protectors.” And then there are the troublesome bark- and root-eating squirrels, rabbits and voles. Tree guards and chicken wire generally are used to keep them away. Burlap and straw wrappings help insulate the small trees and evergreen shrubs typically used in foundation settings. “But with straw, take care not to make it a wonderful condominium for rabbits and voles,” Johnson said. The food supply quickly dwindles for wildlife after frost sets in, and most eventually go looking for food, said Ken Lane, chief marketing officer for Stark Bro’s Nurseries & Orchards Company in Louisiana, Missouri. “Even squirrels, who ‘squirrel away’ acorns for the winter, may prefer young tree bark for a change of pace,” he said. Small trees being grown in containers need to be moved somewhere where their roots won’t freeze but where they can still stay dormant, said Rhonda Ferree, an Extension educator with the University of Illinois. Temperatures should be kept in the upper 30s or low 40s, and gardeners must make sure the containerized trees don’t dry out in winter. “Maybe a cool basement or garage,” Ferree said. “Or bury the container in the ground or with mulch.” Nurserymen often “mulch-in” container plants in winter by laying them against each other and packing the container area with mulch, she said. Fall is the best time of year to plant trees — just don’t plant them too late. “If they are planted well before the soil freezes, they should have time to put out new roots, which will get them through the winter and a jump start on spring,” Ferree said. Planting in the right location is also important for wintertime tree protection, Minnesota’s Johnson said. “For evergreens, southern and southwestern exposures are tough, especially if the plants are backed by a light-colored building,” he said. “The sun warms them up in the winter, the needles lose moisture that is difficult to replace, and the plants are scorched and browned by spring.” Marginally cold-hardy plants can survive if placed in spots protected from wind and coldpocket frost damage. “Focus on protecting plants from the winter winds and low-angle winter sun,” Johnson said.

RIGHT AT HOME: Preparing a swoon-worthy vacation rental

If you’re thinking of listing your home as a vacation rental, have a listen to what travelers say makes a space inviting and welcoming, and what’s a turnoff. For starters, amenities and cleanliness matter. “I would have loved better sheets and towels as well as decent soap and amenities,” says Carol VanderKloot of New York, who was underwhelmed by a recent Michigan rental. Nice linens are mentioned often in online reviews. In a poll conducted by Airbnb this summer, travelers rating their vacation experience cared most about the quality of their accommodations, followed by amenities that are functional and thoughtful. So along with nice shampoo, consider a bottle of wine, a bicycle, scooter, sled or fully loaded beach bag. A host in Los Angeles whose home is popular with young families stocks kids’ books. In Milan, Italy, a host with a pool set up Bluetooth speakers outside. Focus on potential guests’ comfort, both in your decor and your marketing, says Peter Lorimer, a Los Angeles-based real estate expert. He has teamed up with interior designer Genevieve Gorder on a new Netflix series, “Stay Here,” in which they help homeowners refurbish and redecorate their spaces to make them more attractive to visitors. “Massively bad for repeat business is dirt,” he warns. “After every guest there needs to be a cleaning plan. Look at this as an investment in your business; if a restaurant is dirty you’ll never go back, and it’s the same with short-term rental.” Gorder notes that everyone has different standards for tidiness, so it’s best to go pro. “It has to look, feel and be CLEAN,” she says. “That means having a professional service handle your rental before and after each guest checks out. Your reviews will skyrocket and that’s worth its weight in gold.” Get rid of stained or worn carpeting, refinish wood flooring, and lay fresh tile or new rugs. Provide several good mirrors, as well as storage, and a folder or notes on how to operate things. As Lorimer points out, “the last thing any guest wants is to try and figure out how to use the TV remote or turn the ceiling fan on and off.” Consider including “insider” suggestions for what to do and where to go in the area. Displaying some local photography or artwork might pique curiosity and help you build a relationship with nearby shop owners too. Lorimer suggests drawing up a calendar of fun local events and posting it with your listing. Consider an incentive gift for longer stays, like a gift certificate for a local restaurant, or lift tickets at the ski hill. Gorder warns against the “junk drawer” effect, where owners try to save by kitting out their rentals with dated furniture and hand-me-downs. And keep the decor relatively neutral. “Owners tend to decorate for themselves and how they live instead of for their guests,” she says. “Home is in many ways a reflection of our most intimate selves. When you turn a property or a room in your home into a short-term rental, it’s time to shift your thinking.” The key is finding a balance: a space that’s neither too personal nor impersonal. Renters differ about how much personal style they like in a space. VanderKloot enjoyed an array of vintage radios displayed on a shelf in

a Michigan home, but appreciated not having kitschy decor in a rental in New Orleans. “The Scandinavian interior in that rental was a perfect counter-palette to the excess of (the city),” she says. In an apartment in Copenhagen, New Yorker Darby Drake says she would have appreciated some personal touches. “What turned me off most was how bland everything was. It didn’t quite feel ‘lived-in,’” she says. Invest in a standout piece or two, if you can. Drake fondly recalls a big, comfy, cowhide lounge chair in a different Copenhagen rental, as well as another great piece: “There was this massive gray bean-bag lounger that was wonderful. After a long day exploring the city, it was great to be enveloped by it.” The lounger wasn’t shown in the online photos, Drake says. And that could have been a missed opportunity. “The No. 1 reason for guests not booking is bad marketing,” Lorimer says. Cell phone photos won’t do. “A professional photographer must

be engaged, and the whole area needs to be designed or even staged so that the lifestyle is being sold every bit as much as the accommodation,” he says. “Think of short-term rentals like online dating. If you take bad pictures and/or don’t dress up for the shots, you just get swiped and forgotten.” Take seasonal photos of your yard or nearby attractions, he suggests, and change them online accordingly. Consider, too, a well-stocked snack cupboard, some unobtrusive but pleasant home fragrances, a first aid kit, and perhaps some chilled beverages in the fridge upon arrival; small, thoughtful details make even the most modest space welcoming. “It may be your guests’ first time in your city or town,” Lorimer says. “You may not physically be there, so anything you put in your rental is acting as guide and host. Anticipate what they’ll need before they know they need it. That’s the key to a happy guest.”

Minnesota fundraiser sold mannequin lamps By TESLA MITCHELL Winona Daily News

WINONA, Minn. — When the Winona J.C. Penney closed last year, Sheryl Miller saw an opportunity. The Winona resident didn’t know exactly what she wanted to do with the mannequins for sale in the store, but she knew she wanted to do something. So she bought them, took them home and decided to give them a new purpose. They certainly have a new purpose now — to light up a life. Winona area artists and organizations have turned the mannequins into unique artistic lamps that were auctioned off, with all the money going to four local organizations who serve people with Down syndrome or other developmental disabilities. The Light Up a Life fundraiser will benefit organizations such as Home and Community Options, Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin in La Crosse, the Winona ORC and Winona County Developmental Achievement Center. “Moneys are definitely needed for these (organizations and their) programs,” event organizer Jane Bremer told the Winona Daily News . Surrounded by 10 of the 12 mannequin lamps now on dis-

play at WNB Financial, Bremer said she and Miller were intent on finding a way to use the mannequins to raise money for a good cause. After coming up with the idea of making them into lamps, the two found local artists to donate their time and effort. Each artist took a different approach, and the results are wide-ranging. “You can see by the materials used that they’re all unique,” Bremer said as she looked in the mannequins’ direction. There’s the “We Nonah” mannequin lamp that depicts landscape scenes from around Winona, painted by Mary Singer. And there’s the steampunk themed “Erstwilla” mannequin outfitted with painted gears, a few actual springs, black braids and a round globe for a head with a metal gear fashioned mask — made by Christine Petersen. “A lot of comments about this one,” Bremer said. “She is truly a good artist.” Among the others decorated with bedazzled shiny jewels, crystals or packets of garden seeds, is one called the “Lady of the Woods,” created by Cynthia Jennings. With arms covered with leaves, vines and handmade outdoor foliage, the mannequin stretches her hands toward the sky, her head tilted down as looks at the ground. A

crown of leaves surrounds her head and dark green face. “The artist wanted to morph this mannequin into the outdoors,” Bremer said. “She’s

part of nature, yet she’s still her own entity.” Whether the lamps end up in businesses or homes, Bremer expressed excitement about

finding a way to raise funds for organizations that help individuals with Down syndrome or developmental disabilities find jobs, learn life skills and/or find

housing. “These people deserve an opportunity to be part of the community,” Bremer said. “That’s where our heart’s at.”

Liz Weston: Should you pay off mortgage before you retire? whopping tax bills. When a client is wealthy enough to pay off a mortgage and wants to do so, CFP Chris Chen of Waltham, Massachusetts, still recommends spreading the payments over time to keep the taxes down. Often, though, people in the best position to pay off mortgages may decide not to do so because they can get a better return on their money elsewhere, planners say. Also, they’re often the ones affluent enough to have big mortgages that still qualify for tax deductions. “Mortgages many times have cheap interest rates that are deductible and thus may not be worth paying off if your portfolio after taxes can outpace it,” FILE- This file photo shows new townhouses in Wood-Ridge, N.J.

“Refinancing can spread your remaining mortgage balance out over 30 years, greatly reducing the portion of your budget it eats up,” says Rae, whose office is in West Hollywood. Those who have substantial equity built up in their homes could consider a reverse mortgage, planners say. These loans can be used to pay off the existing mortgage, but no payments are required and the reverse mortgage doesn’t have to be paid off until the owner sells, moves out or dies. Another solution: downsize to eliminate or at least reduce mortgage debt. CFP Kristin C. Sullivan, also of Denver, encourages her clients to consider this option.

“Don’t fool yourself that your grown kids will be back visiting all the time,” Sullivan says. “Certainly don’t keep enough space and comfort for them to move back in with you!” This column was provided to The Associated Press by the personal finance website NerdWallet.

Obesity surgery may lower heart attack danger in diabetics By CARLA K. JOHNSON AP Medical Writer

SEATTLE — Obesity surgery may dramatically lower the danger of heart attacks and strokes in patients with diabetes, new research suggests, reinforcing evidence that benefits extend beyond weight loss. The study tracked about 20,000 severely obese patients with Type 2 diabetes. Those who had weight loss surgery had a 40 percent lower chance of developing a heart attack or stroke in the five years following surgery compared to those who got usual care with diabetes medicines or insulin. For every 1,000 patients in the study who had surgery there were roughly 20 heart attacks or strokes compared to 40 such events per 1,000 who got regular care. More than 30 million Americans have diabetes, mostly Type 2 where the body loses the ability to produce or use in-

sulin to turn food into energy. Other research has shown obesity surgery can reverse and even prevent diabetes. Taken together, it means doctors should discuss weight loss surgery more often, said study co-author Dr. David Arterburn of Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle. Doctors usually mention insulin and pills, “but it’s not always brought up that weight loss surgery is another available treatment option,” Arterburn said. Researchers analyzed records from four U.S. health care systems: HealthPartners in Minnesota and Kaiser Permanente in Washington state, Northern California and Southern California. Results were published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study can’t prove cause and effect because patients weren’t randomly assigned to get surgery. The researchers

tried to match patients for gender, age, blood sugar levels and other factors. But other things they didn’t account for could have contributed to the surgery patients’ better results. Everyone in the study had a BMI, or body mass index, of at least 35. For instance, someone who is 5-foot-8-inches and weighs 230 pounds has a BMI of 35. Of the more than 5,300 who had surgery, most had gastric bypass, the most common type of stomach-shrinking operation. Some had gastric sleeve or gastric band procedures. The rest, nearly 15,000 people, had usual care. Obesity surgery can cost $20,000 to $25,000. Insurers are increasingly covering it, but some impose strict limits. The new findings suggest insurance coverage should be expanded for the right patients, Dr. Sayeed Ikramuddin of the University of Minnesota wrote in an accompanying editorial. Surgery is thought to help

by affecting hormones, gut bacteria and other substances that affect how the body handles insulin and blood sugar. Weight loss without surgery

also helps, but is difficult for many people to achieve. Most weight loss surgery today is done through small incisions. The dangers are

similar to other surgeries, including a small chance of lifethreatening complications, and some people need to have their surgeries repeated.

University of Texas at San Antonio does stuttering research

In this photo, Jack Rodriguez, who has stuttered all of his life, wears a cap of electrodes as Jeffrey Mock injects a saltwater solution into the cap so that his brain can be graphed to see what it is doing when he is speaking fluently. (Billy Calzada/The San Antonio Express-News via AP) By LAURA CARUBA San Antonio Express-News

SAN ANTONIO — Inside a large sound booth, Jack Rodriguez sat in a padded tan chair, a blue cap covering his head. The San Antonio ExpressNews reports for about two hours, the college student’s task was to read aloud the nonsensical words flashing on the screen in front of him. “Sancration zathion” “Fexon lomble”

“Kightmase narire” Researchers designed the words to trigger Rodriguez’s stuttering, as they try to better understand what is happening in his brain when he does. Outside the booth, they were monitoring a video feed of Rodriguez and his brain activity. The cap was covered with electrodes that measure the electrical activity emitting from his scalp, signals that were fed to and analyzed by a computer.

The exercise is part of a two-year study of the role brain activity patterns play in people who stutter. The research, funded by a $387,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health, could potentially be used to help train people’s brains to reduce their stuttering, said Edward Golob, a psychology professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio and the study’s principal investigator. Stuttering is a speech disorder that affects about 3 million

people in the United States. People who stutter develop “disfluencies” that impede the flow of their speech. The condition can manifest in different ways — such as repetitions or drawn-out sounds in pronunciation, or difficulty producing words altogether — and to different degrees, depending on the person. It can grow more severe under certain circumstances, such as when the speaker becomes anxious or stressed.

Golob, who has studied stuttering for years, said he is interested in the varied nature of the condition. “What captured my interest wasn’t so much that people stuttered. It was that they would stutter and then they would be fluent and then they would stutter again,” Golob said. “Typically with most neurological disorders, you don’t see this flip-flopping back and forth between normal and abnormal that’s that dramatic.” To better understand what is happening in the brain during those speech fluctuations, Golob and his team are gathering data on the stuttering patterns of people 18 and older. Over the course of multiple sessions, participants wear caps that measure their brain activity while they read aloud pairs of made-up “pseudo words” meant to elicit their stuttering. In one exercise, participants are shown the paired words before they are prompted to say them aloud. In another, they are given a signal priming them to speak, then read the words as soon as they appear on the screen. By increasing the incidences of stuttering, the researchers can build an accurate model of the person’s brain activity during fluent and disfluent speech. The best way to do that, said Jeffrey Mock, an assistant professor of research in UTSA’s psychology department, is to present them with a difficult speech task that prompts stuttering. “We’re trying to stress the system as much as possible to increase the number of disfluent trials,” Mock said. If the team can determine when someone is likely to stutter based on their brain activity, then they may be able to help that person maintain normal speech more often, Mock said. However, the team does not expect to completely halt stuttering. The work may provide an additional tool to help those who stutter to better cope with

the condition, alongside other resources like behavioral therapy, said Farzan Irani, an assistant professor of communication disorders at Texas State University who is part of the research team. “They will continue to have moments of stuttering, but we are hoping it will be fewer and more spread out,” Irani said. Stuttering can sometimes be debilitating, Irani said, especially when people let it dictate their lives, such as choosing careers that do not require much conversation with others. Rodriguez has stuttered his entire life, but two years ago, as a high school senior, he was caught in the throes of a particularly severe period with the disorder. For several excruciating weeks, it was as if he had hit a “brick wall,” he said. When another person approached him, he grew anxious that he’d have to converse. “I couldn’t get out one word. . I couldn’t even start the word,” said Rodriguez, now a sophomore at Texas State. He said he felt isolated and unable to communicate with those around him. Eventually, Rodriguez was able to move past that obstacle and return to speech that was affected but not entirely halted by stuttering. He remained intrigued by the science behind the condition that affects his speech, and that of his father. That interest in the underlying causes of his stuttering fueled his desire to join the study, which he learned about after attending a summer speech clinic run by Irani. It was both difficult and fun articulating the bizarre words, Rodriguez said. During an earlier session, he found himself laughing after each attempt. Participating in the clinic and the research has made him feel less alone, said Rodriguez, who has considered becoming a speech therapist himself. “I got all these people around me that go through the same thing. I thought I was the only one that went through that,” he said.
