In the news Ex juvenile official charged with possessing child porn ANCHORAGE — A former high-ranking official in Alaska juvenile justice has been charged with possession of child pornography. Federal prosecutors Wednesday announced the charge against 54-year-old Dennis Weston. Anchorage television station KTVA reports Weston is the former superintendent of Anchorage’s McLaughlin Youth Center, a state detention facility for juvenile offenders. He’s also the former head of the Johnson Youth Center in Juneau, which provides juveniles short-term detention and long-term treatment. The indictment alleges that Weston possessed digital depictions of minors engaged in explicit sexual conduct. Weston was hired as a juvenile justice officer in 1992. He rose to be division operations manager. He was placed on administrative leave June 26 and he resigned July 24. Weston’s phone number was not immediately available and his attorney is not listed in online court documents.

Anchorage murder, kidnapping suspect arrested in Michigan ANCHORAGE — A woman wanted for a fatal Alaska shooting has been arrested in Michigan. Anchorage police announced Thursday that 49-year-old Linda Richards was found hiding in a home in Eastpointe, Michigan. She is charged with second-degree murder, kidnapping and armed robbery in the Jan. 28 death of 52-yearold Carl Bowie Jr. Witnesses that night reported shots fired near 36th Avenue and Arctic Boulevard and on Spenard Road. Police found Bowie dead inside a home in Penguin Trailer Court at Spenard Road near 36th Avenue. A second suspect, 19-yearold Austin Cottrell, faces the same charges and is jailed in Anchorage. Richards was arrested Thursday morning and transported to Macomb County Jail in Mount Clemens, Michigan. Alaska authorities are working to extradite her. — Associated Press

A different kind of drive-thru

Davidson opens AFN Narcan kits available at Soldotna Sports Complex on Saturday conference By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

On Saturday, community members have the opportunity to participate in an emergency preparedness drill while getting the tools and education to potentially save lives. Attendees don’t even have to leave their cars. A community coalition that includes the Department of Health and Social Service Kenai Public Health Nursing, Change 4 the Kenai, Points on Prevention Coalition, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Emergency Management, the Alaska National Guard, the Reentry Coalition of the Kenai Peninsula and the Kenaitze Tribe will host a drive-thru Narcan kit distribution event at the Solodtna Sports Complex. Change 4 the Kenai Director Shari Connor said the drivethru event would take about 10 minutes as drivers make their way through several stations where they receive a Narcan kit, helpful information on how to identify someone who may be in crisis and an emergency preparedness bag to take home.

The point of dispensing exercise will serve the community in two different ways. Leslie Felts, nurse manager from Kenai Peninsula Public

Health, said the event gives the organization an opportunity to practice mass distribution. “As public health nurses for the state of Alaska, one of our

priorities is emergency preparedness for everyone in the community,” Felts said. “One of the things that we focus on

A discussion with Mark Begich By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula’s economy has long been dependent on oil and gas. What will you do to boost the economy on the Kenai Peninsula beyond oil and gas? The economy of the Kenai Peninsula can be much broader. Tourism continues to grow in the region, which I think is a fantastic growth opportunity. I think fisheries, even though we’ve had challenges around our sports fishing community with closures, fisheries continue to be an opportunity for us in the peninsula. I also think to continue to invest in the campus there, because I think there’s a lot of people who continue to need educational opportunities from the university’s campus there, and AVTEC in Seward. The last, which I think is continuing to grow, and why I mention the educational piece is because you have to connect to the next area of growth, and that’s in the health care area. There continues to be a demand for health care services on the peninsula and I have toured multiple facilities. It shows me there’s a lot of potentials for folks to be trained in the region and work in the health care area. A lot of people on the peninsula are counting on the success of the LNG project — but there is a long way to go

before it will start bringing in money. What would you do to make sure this project happens? You got to keep the regulatory piece of it moving forward and the relationship with the federal government. You have to make sure you have good investors to ensure you can finance the project. That’s a big piece of it. We have to have some market conditions that al-

low the pricing work, so when we get ready to sell it there’s a market to sell to. I think the governor has to push back on the president regarding the tariffs on China because that’s where some of our steel will come from. Those tariffs would add additional cost. We got to do what we can there to get some tariff relief. What do you think the future of the PFD is considering

Alaska’s deficit and economy? Putting in the constitution, which I believe it should be, the dividend itself. I was the only candidate that proposed a real sustainable way to get the dividend in the constitution. I think it could be there for generations. If you leave it in the hands of politicians, which it is now under both my opponents’ See BEGICH page A2

Alaska’s first female Alaska Native lieutenant governor was greeted by a standing ovation Thursday in Anchorage as she delivered her inaugural remarks to a public audience. Two days after the abrupt resignation of Byron Mallott, Valerie Nurr’araaluk Davidson delivered the keynote address at the opening of the annual Alaska Federation of Natives conference. “You should know that I am brand new to this; I have never been a lieutenant governor before. That’s OK,” she said to applause and laughter. Davidson, formerly commissioner of the Department of Health and Social Services, had been scheduled to deliver the keynote before she was tapped to become lieutenant governor. She acknowledged the abrupt change without revealing the incident that led to Mallott’s resignation. “Just two days ago, our world shifted, and I want you to know Alaskans deserve the highest standard of conduct by their elected officials,” she said. “These last few days have been tough for all of us, but today is a new day. Today we move forward.” Officials in the governor’s office have said only that Mallott offered his resignation after inappropriate remarks toward a woman. It is not known what the remarks were, or who they were addressed to. In her speech, Davidson explained her history as a “village girl” in Southwest Alaska and discussed the need to triumph despite adversity. “I want our children to know that just because bad things happen to us in our childhood, they don’t have to define our future or who we are as people,” she said. Davidson also discussed her recent work with the health department, saying that expansion of the federal Medicaid program has been wildly successful in Alaska. “For Medicaid expansion, those dollars came to every single community in Alaska where health care is provided,” she said. Alaska’s Medicaid program was unilaterally expanded by Gov. Bill Walker in 2015. The act survived a court challenge but could be reversed by a new governor. Walker himself took the stage after Davidson concluded her remarks with an exuberant seal call. The incumbent independent acknowledged Mallott’s resignation without explaining it. “Byron Mallott is my brothSee AFN, page A3

Walker’s campaign moving ahead ‘a day at a time’ By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — Alaska Gov. Bill Walker said Thursday his re-election campaign is moving ahead but is taking it “a day at a time” after being rocked this week by the abrupt resignation of Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott. Mallott resigned Tuesday over what Walker has described

as an inappropriate overture to a woman. Mallott apologized though few details have been released. Walker said he is honoring the wishes of the woman involved. Walker campaign manager John-Henry Heckendorn has said the campaign was in talks with Democratic rival Mark Begich about a “path forward for Alaska,” but declined to

elaborate when asked about it Thursday. Begich’s campaign manager has not returned messages. Walker is a Republicanturned-independent who was elected with Democratic support in 2014. He is locked in a tough three-way re-election fight. Some Democrats and independents have worried that he and Begich will split the

vote, giving the race to Republican Mike Dunleavy, the presumed front runner. During a debate Thursday, Dunleavy asked Begich if he was in negotiations with Walker for one of them to drop out before the Nov. 6 election. “I’d like you to drop out,” Begich said to laughter. Pressed further by Dunleavy, Begich said: “There’s no deals.”

Walker said the Republican Party contacted him to be their candidate after Dunleavy had filed. “There’s all sorts of conversations going on out there,” he said. Tuckerman Babcock, chairman of the state GOP, said he assumed Walker was joking. He said Walker’s chief of staff, Scott Kendall, had asked See GOV, page A3

plans, the likelihood that it will diminish over the next years is pretty high. It’s a big mistake. We need to do everything we can to ensure the dividend is in the constitution at a sustainable level. Just in the last three years, the Kenai Peninsula has lost a million dollars because of the cuts they had to the dividend. I think that is a damaging effect to the peninsula as well as the state. I want to make sure it’s in the constitution. Alaska has been hit hard by the ongoing opioid crisis. Considering the ongoing debate about the Alaska budget — do you feel there is enough funding to tackle this issue? I do because we have to make it a priority. If you don’t make it a priority then you’ll never have the funding. It is a priority, and it’s not just opioids, it’s substance abuse. Eighty percent of the people in corrections are affected by addictions and substance abuse. So we have to do everything we can to combat this issue. On top of that, there will be federal money coming down the pipe that we should take advantage of, not only for opioids but also for much broader effects of substance abuse. The combination of state and federal money that’s coming and the local communities working together, we can combat this. If we can push back on this issue it will have a direct impact on lowering crime, because some of the petty crime that’s going on is feeding people’s addictions. We can do everything we can to push that back. You have to make it a priority and put the resources towards it. There was some discussion that either your or Walker would drop out, consolidating opposition Mike Dunleavy. Did you ever consider dropping out? I’ve always thought of this race as an important choice for Alaskans. I think the campaign that I’ve put forward is about the future, and what the opportunities are. I think there are clear choices here. You have

someone that wants to go back in time, Sen. Dunleavy. You have the governor who wants to kind of stay where we are. I believe there’s an opportunity to move forward in the future and I want to give the choice to people. I’ve been in threeway races before and won. I think people will make a choice based on what they think is the future of Alaska. You don’t need 50 percent to win, you need about 38 percent to win in a three-way race and I believe we can accomplish that. The Trump administration decision to impose steel tariffs has had an impact on the Port of Alaska in Anchorage, which already needs significant repairs, as well as potential impacts on pipeline construction — what’s your solution to making sure Alaska’s port and pipelines can operate affordably? When the president does something that’s positive for Alaska, you should thank the president. But, when he’s doing something that’s hurting Alaska, you should speak up. Our current governor has not done that. Sen. Dunleavy has not done that and these steel tariffs do have an impact. They are costing us money. We should team up with other states, especially shipbuilding states on the west coast, as well as down in Mississippi and Wisconsin, which build ships that utilize steel, and we should be figuring out how we can push back on the president to try and get these tariffs released. If we don’t get tariff relief these costs are going to be passed on and make these projects much more expensive. The criminal justice reform package passed in 2016 has gotten pushback from many people who feel it lets repeat offenders off the hook — what do you think is working with the reform, and what has to happen to make this reform more effective than it has been? I’m running against two people who both served in Juneau at the time that reform was done. Sen. Dunleavy allowed it to pass out of his committee that he was on and now he claims he is against it.

he let it pass without proper review and proper work and the governor signed the bill. SB 91, you have to repeal it because I think it’s caused a lot of stir on what it does or doesn’t do. Now there are some good things there. They have better penalties for people who commit murder. They increased those penalties, which I think is important. I think you have to have a comprehensive approach to crime. We have to be aggressive, fill the positions that are currently funded with the troopers. We have to be much more aggressive on dealing with these hardened drug dealers, and we have to also understand that these first-time offenders may be feeding their addiction, and we do have to deal with it and put them on the right path. I wasn’t in Juneau when 91 passed and now they all have amnesia about what happened. Alaska’s economy is highly dependent on fossil fuels but is also uniquely susceptible to climate change. A recent UN report has said that the world has a little more than a decade to cut greenhouse gas emissions by half, and by 2050 greenhouse gas emissions would have to reach net zero. What policies will you put in place as governor to tackle this issue — both in mitigating the current environmental effects of climate change and dealing with the economic fallout of a world that that may be shifting from an oil-based economy?

First off we have to accept that climate change is real. This is not some hoax. The science proves we are having some impact. Just look at our fall, it’s pretty late. We’re seeing on the Kenai changing fishery patterns, which are impacting both sports and commercial. There’s also acidification of our waters. We’re seeing spruce bark beetle impact, which again on the peninsula is significant and creates all kinds of other costs and damage to the area. These are real. I know Sen. Dunleavy doesn’t believe it, but it is real. We have to deal with it. We can do a couple things for sure. Continue to change our internal use of fuel. We have a goal right now of 50 percent renewable resource by 2025; we should be aggressive about that because every time we do that we’re having a positive impact on climate change and emissions. The other things we should be doing, since we are ground zero, is we should be the place where everyone comes from around the world to understand what can be done. It can be from warming waters to acidification, to permafrost melt to Arctic melting. We are the natural lab where we can study this and understand it. It means more resources both on the federal end and locally through our university that helps us understand it better so we can manage it. But again, moving to renewable energy for our own consumption would be a huge positive play for us.

change.� Mallott did the right thing by taking responsibility, he said, adding later that his administration respects and believes women. Some Walker supporters have wanted him to be clear about his campaign plans with

early voting starting Monday. Valerie Davidson, who preceded Walker on the Alaska Federation of Natives conference stage with a rousing speech Thursday, replaced Mallott as lieutenant governor and as Walker’s running mate. At one point Walker told re-

porters Thursday the campaign was “full steam ahead.� Later, he was more measured. “We’re going to play it a day at a time, see what happens, where we are,� he said. “At this point, I don’t have any indication that anything’s going to change.�

He ended his address with a formal apology to Alaska Natives for the injustices of colonialism. “I conclude today with this message: As the 11th governor of the state of Alaska, I apologize to you, Alaska’s first people, for the wrongs you have endured for generations. For being forced into boarding schools, I apologize. For being forced to abandon your native language and adopt a foreign one, I apologize. For erasing your history, I apologize. For the generational and historical trauma you have suffered, I apologize. This apology is long overdue. It is but one step and hundreds more to go on this journey toward truth, reconciliation and healing,� he said.

What Others Say

Lowering the cost of prescription drugs will take more than TV ads The Trump administration on Monday unveiled its latest proposal for reining in the cost of pharmaceuticals: requiring television advertisements for prescription drugs to display the price tag of the medication being promoted. For the 10 drugs seen most often on TV, the administration says, those list prices range from $535 to a whopping $11,000 per month or per course of treatment. Like the administration’s other efforts to address this issue, the mandate is a small response to an enormous problem. The United States spends more per capita on prescription drugs — roughly half a trillion dollars a year — than any other country, and that spending has been increasing far faster than inflation, wages or the U.S. economy. The assumption behind the proposal is that forcing a pharmaceutical company to reveal the list price of the fabulous new cure it is touting will somehow shame it into keeping the price down. Good luck with that. Although a handful of drug makers have reduced or canceled price increases this year in response to President Trump’s criticism, most have not. According to the Associated Press, prices went up on 4,412 brand-name drugs in the first seven months of 2018, and down on 46. Some critics also argue that it would violate the free speech protections of the 1st Amendment to force drug companies to disclose their list prices. And drug makers note correctly that very few people actually pay list prices. The proposal would reveal little about how much those drugs ultimately sell for, or how much people with insurance will pay for them — directly (through deductibles and co-pays) and indirectly (through premiums). To its credit, the administration has been actively trying to slow the rise of drug costs through an array of often down-in-the-weeds reforms. And in sharp contrast to what it has done on Obamacare, the administration’s efforts to boost competition, alter incentives and increase transparency have generally helped consumers. But drug makers are unusually well insulated from the market forces the administration is trying to marshal — they have patents that guarantee them temporary monopolies, products that are vital and even life-saving, and customers whose bills are often paid by insurers. It will take much more dramatic changes to make a meaningful difference in drug prices. — Los Angeles Times, Oct. 17

Protecting Alaska’s shared resources

Alaskans are once again fighting over fish. This time the fight is centered around a proposed ballot initiative that seeks to change the way state officials handle water-quality permits for development projects around salmon and other anadromous fish habitat. Ballot Measure One — also known as Stand for Salmon — would change the State of Alaska’s water-quality permitting standards around streams and other waterways in ways that would make it far more difficult to permit any project with the potential to disrupt anadromous fish habitat. The initiative goes further, imposing a legal presumption that all Alaska rivers and streams are anadromous fish habitat unless the state can prove otherwise. For some, any development is too much. For obvious reasons, that’s a viewpoint more common outside of Alaska. For those who live and work here, though, protection and production have always gone hand in hand. Natural resources have always provided the foundation for our economy, we depend on them to provide for our families both economically and culturally today and for the future. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s (ADFG) process for reviewing permit applications and for developing mitigation plans is working. Alaska has a well-deserved reputation for having some of the nation’s most stringent water-quality standards and ADFG’s experienced fish experts have shown themselves to be careful stewards of our shared resources.

V oices of the

P eninsula J oe C onnors support fish species that migrate between fresh and salt water, including everything from salmon to sheefish. Our ability to prosper off the bounty that this land provides — from fish to minerals, from tourism to timber to oil and gas — is central to who we are as Alaskans. For decades, the responsible development of Alaska’s abundant natural resources has delivered good jobs, a high standard of living, quality public education and other essential public services. Despite this year’s struggles and closures, there’s no evidence the state’s habitat management practices need the kind of overhaul Ballot Measure 1 implements. Our returns are challenged across species, across age classes, and across watersheds. This is an important message: the problem doesn’t appear to be in the onshore habitat but is more likely a problem at sea. The changes mandated by Ballot Mea-

sure 1 would not address the underlying causes of what is affecting salmon populations in the ocean. Targeting development projects on land, as the ballot initiative attempts to do, doesn’t address the systemic issues coming out of the ocean. The ballot measure would, however, tie the hands of experts at the Department of Fish and Game, making economic development and basic infrastructure projects more expensive, if not impossible, to permit. We should be wary of measures – particularly those foisted upon us through the public ballot initiative process — that seek to pit one resource-user group against another in the name of conservation. It is one thing to be good stewards of the lands and waters that provide for us, it’s something else to restrict our own ability to develop a diverse economy and continue to build a better Alaska for the future. The question at stake in November is whether we can be trusted with the responsibility to care of this great land. It’s a question that has been asked a multitude of times dating back to before Alaska won statehood in 1959. The answer is the same today as it was decades ago: no one knows better how to manage this land than the people who live here. Joe Connors is a University of Alaska Anchorage professor emeritus, retired U.S. Army captain, and a former set-netter. He has lived in Alaska since 1970 and is the owner of Big Sky Charter & Fish camp, a fishing lodge on the Kenai River.

Challenge for indicted Republicans: Win re-election By JULIE WATSON and CAROLYN THOMPSON Associated Press

Letters to the Editor:

As written, the initiative severely restricts ADFG’s ability to use mitigation to reduce the impact of development. The new rule would apply to all waters that

Winning re-election while indicted is a rare feat in U.S. history. But two Republican congressmen are attempting to do just that in November’s midterm elections: Reps. Duncan Hunter of California and Chris Collins of New York. After pleading not guilty in August to separate federal charges, both congressmen are entering the final weeks of the campaign doing what they can to lay low. They have largely avoided the media and refused to debate their opponents. Both declined repeated requests to comment for this story. Instead, they have mostly appeared at Republican-friendly events, and run attack ads against their Democratic challengers that some say seek to exploit racial prejudice and xenophobia. Indictments and even jail time have not always ended political careers. A few have won re-election while facing criminal charges and some ended up exonerated. Others were convicted and later resigned. But the Collins and Hunter contests are emerging as a fresh test of partisanship in the Trump era. Some voters may look past such a blemish this year to ensure that their preferred party remains in power. “If you look at the question of partisanship, it sort of makes sense to me why Re-

publican voters would prefer a Republican under indictment to a Democrat,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball, a nonpartisan analytical newsletter at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “Two decades ago, partisanship was not as strong, and (they) would have been in more trouble.” Collins, 68, initially suspended his campaign after being charged with insider trading that prosecutors say helped his son and others avert nearly $800,000 in stock losses. But he reversed course over the difficulty in removing his name from the ballot, saying the stakes “are too high” to allow a Democrat to take the congressional seat he has held for three terms. Democrats are trying to pick up 23 seats nationwide to win control of the House. Don Lloyd, a 70-year-old retired engineer who lives in Eden, New York, said he’ll vote for Collins even though he believes he should not be running. “But what am I really voting for? I’m voting for a Republican,” Lloyd said. “And let’s face it, the election isn’t about Chris Collins. It’s about Trump. … I’m supporting the Republican Party.” Collins came under fire for a TV ad that showed his Democratic opponent, Nate McMurray, speaking Korean, over a backdrop of ominous music, a portrait of the North Korean dictator and captions falsely implying he was talking about sending American jobs to Asia. McMurray has

studied and taught law in South Korea and is married to a woman from South Korea. In California, Hunter and his wife face a 60-count indictment accusing them of using more than $250,000 in campaign funds for everything from a family trip to Italy to Costco shopping sprees and then trying to hide the illegal spending in government records as donations to charities, including for wounded warriors. After his last court appearance in San Diego, Hunter was swarmed by protesters, including one wearing a bunny suit in reference to claims that he used campaign funds on airfare for a pet rabbit. “We’re still running, and we’re going to win,” Hunter told reporters over the chants of “lock him up!” Polls suggest the race has tightened between the 41-year-old former combat Marine and his opponent, Ammar CampaNajjar, a 29-year-old first-time candidate who worked in the Obama administration. Hunter, who is seeking his sixth term, has struck back with a YouTube ad alleging Campa-Najjar, a Latino Arab-American, is working to “infiltrate Congress.” It falsely asserts he is supported by the Muslim Brotherhood. It also mentions his Palestinian background. His father served in the Palestine Liberation Organization and his grandfather was a leader of the group that orchestrated the terror attack at the 1972 Munich Olympics that killed 11 Israeli athletes.

Russian Orthodox Church breaks ties with Orthodoxy’s leader thodox Church since the late 1600s. Calls for the Ukrainian church’s independence have increased since Moscow’s 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and its support of separatist rebels fighting in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine currently has three Orthodox communities - one answering to the Russian Orthodox Church and two schismatic churches. Metropolitan Hilarion, who heads the Russian Orthodox Church’s foreign relations department, said after the Holy Synod’s meeting in Minsk, Belarus on Monday that rupturing ties with the Ecumenical Patriarchate was a response to its “lawless and canonically void moves.” “The Russian Orthodox Church doesn’t recognize those decisions and won’t fulfill them,” he said. “The church that acknowledged the schismatics has excluded itself from the canonical field of the Orthodoxy.”

MOSCOW — The Russian Orthodox Church decided Monday to sever ties with the leader of the worldwide Orthodox community after his decision to grant Ukrainian clerics independence from the Moscow Patriarchate. Metropolitan Hilarion said the Russian church’s Holy Synod resolved to “”break the Eucharistic communion” with the Istanbul-based Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Under the leadership of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the patriarchate last week removed its condemnation of leaders of schismatic Orthodox churches in Ukraine. The decision marked a step toward establishing an ecclesiastically independent - or autocephalous - church in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who is running for re-election in a March vote, has pushed Bartholomew to grant independence to the Ukrainian church. Ukrainian Orthodox Church

Archbishop Yevstratiy denounced the Holy Synod’s decision to sever ties with the Orthodox Church leader regarded as a “first among equals” as a move toward “self-isolation.” The Russian church voiced

concern that the Istanbul-based patriarchate’s action would deepen the religious rift in Ukraine and could spur the schismatic branches to try to take over church buildings. The Russian Orthodox

Church expects Poroshenko to make good on his pledge that the Ukrainian government would ensure respect for the choices of those who want to retain unity with the Russian church.

Too many questions

What are you going to write about for your column this week?” I’m spending two weeks visiting my parents in New Jersey and my mom has asked me this question almost every day. While I type this out on the couch next to her I can feel her getting nosier and nosier. In typical mom fashion, she likes to be abreast of everything that I do, constantly. “Why don’t you write it about fishing with your father the other day?” “Write it about your run on the boardwalk today.” “What if you write it about Asbury Park?” You’d think that after two weeks visiting my parents and staying with them in my childhood home, her constant questions would get to me less. I’ve realized, though, that with 26 years and an entire continent between us, it’s only gotten worse. “What’s the temperature there? When you go running, do you bring one of those satellite phones? When you’re on a mountain, you always have a friend with you, right? Have you run into any bears recently? Do you have a bear spray? Do you have a gun? Did you win that ski race? (No, mom, I never win.) What about moose? Have you skied near any moose? Is that dangerous? Is it snowing in Seward yet? (Mom, for the millionth time it’s Soo-ward not See-ward.) What’s the temperature? What are you doing tomorrow? What are you doing next week? What are you doing right now? What are you doing with the rest of your life? Do you have a boyfriend? Was that a picture of you swimming? Why are you swimming in Alaska? Is it cold? What’s the temperature?” So, when my mom asked me what I was going to write about this week I told her. “I’m thinking maybe I’ll write it about Nalgene water bottles.” I could feel her disappointment fill the room as she mumbled, “Hmm. OK. That’ll be nice.” Oh, how the tables have turned — now I’m the one seeing through her lies. But why should we just turn the tables? Let’s flip them. Another thing I’ve realized after spending a lifetime with my mother is that her (and my father’s) job has been to make me happy. (They did a pretty good job.) And now my job is writing this column, so I might as well make her happy while I do it. So, this one’s for you mom. My father and I went fishing for black sea bass off the coast of Manasquan Beach in New Jersey last Saturday and all I could think about were the wrecks on which we were anchored. New Jersey’s Division of Fish and Wildlife maintains over a dozen artificial reefs along the coast. Right out of the Manasquan Inlet, there are some sunken tugboats, banana barges, Army tanks and more. And now, over the radio on my father’s boat, we can talk to other fishermen and say, “The banana barge has a bite, but there’s too many people on it today,” or, “I’m See BLUE, page A8

LeBron loses debut By The Associated Press

Peninsula Clarion | Friday, October 19, 2018 | A7

PORTLAND, Ore. — LeBron James opened with two thunderous dunks and had 26 points and 12 rebounds in his first game with the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Portland Trail Blazers prevailed 128-119 Thursday night in the season opener for both teams. Damian Lillard had 28 points and Nik Stauskas came off the bench to score 24 for Portland, which won its 18th straight home opener to extend an NBA record. It was the Blazers’ 16th straight victory over the Lakers. The opening festivities were tempered by the death this week of Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen. A “Rip City” baseball cap rested in Allen’s courtside seat with a single rose. The enigmatic co-founder of Microsoft died Monday in Seattle from complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was 65. There was moment of

silence before the game and tributes to Allen throughout the night. On the court, the focus was all on James. His monster dunks to start stunned the Moda Center crowd while Nike co-founder Phil Knight looked on from courtside seats.

Fultz dribbled to the foul line and hit an uncontested pull-up jumper, the ball rattling around the rim four times before it plopped through the net for two points.

Red Sox move to World Series By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer

HOUSTON — What a birthday present for rookie manager Alex Cora. He’s taking the Boston Red Sox back to the World Series. David Price put his postseason woes behind him, pitching the Red Sox past the defending champion Houston Astros 4-1 Thursday night in Game 5 of the AL Championship Series. Next stop for the 108-win Red Sox is Fenway Park for the World Series opener Tuesday night against either the Los Angeles Dodgers or Milwaukee Brewers. But before leaving Minute Maid Park, the Red Sox surrounded the 43-year-old Cora in the clubhouse and heartily sang “happy birthday!” Wearing goggles and championship gear, the team saluted the first manager from Puerto Rico to lead a team to the World Series. Cora was hired a year ago as he prepared to go to the Series as Houston’s bench coach. He got the job a month after Hurricane Maria devastated his island homeland, and immediately went to work helping with relief efforts. “I know right know for everything that

we’re going through as a nation, as a country, for me to stand up here with this trophy, I know there’s a lot of people proud of me in Puerto Rico,” he said. Rafael Devers hit a three-run homer as the Red Sox stunned Justin Verlander to win the best-of-seven set 4-1. ALCS MVP Jackie Bradley Jr., outfielder Mookie Betts and the Red Sox will try to bring Boston its fourth crown in 15 years — this is their first trip since winning it all in 2013. Los Angeles has a 3-2 lead in the NLCS going into Game 6 on Friday night at Miller Park. “We got four more wins. That was very, very special, absolutely. But we want more,” Price said. Pitching on only three days’ rest after Boston ace Chris Sale was ruled out while recovering from a stomach illness, Price struck out nine in six shutout innings of three-hit ball. The left-hander, who has had a rough time in Boston since signing a $217 million contract before the 2016 season, entered 0-9 with a 6.16 ERA in 11 career postseason starts. Price was thrilled that he won’t be questioned anymore about not having a postseason win as a starter.

“That’s awesome,” he said. “I don’t have to prepare myself for it in spring training on Feb. 20 or September when I’ve still got five regular-season starts. I don’t have to answer that question anymore. And man, it feels good.” Price was warming in the bullpen as Game 4 ended, perhaps jeopardizing his readiness for Thursday. Instead, that session may have keyed his dominant performance. “It felt good. Honestly, it really started last night in the bullpen. Threw quite a few pitches to come in for the next hitter, found something out while doing that and kind of just carried that over to today,” Price said. Price tipped his cap to a few hundred Red Sox fans assembled behind the Boston dugout while they cheered as he walked off the field following postgame interviews. The only time thing that didn’t go smoothly for Price came when he brought 1-year-old son Xavier into the postgame news conference and the little one wouldn’t quit shrieking and wriggling away from him. Price pulled him back onto his lap, repeating the words: “This is big, dude. This is big.”

Von Miller vowed his Denver Broncos would kick the Arizona Cardinals’ behind, except he didn’t say behind. Consider it a promise kept. Emmanuel Sanders threw and caught touchdown passes, Denver returned two interceptions for first-quarter touchdowns and the Broncos snapped a four-game losing streak with a 45-10 rout Thursday night. “It wasn’t even for the Cardinals, it was for my teammates,” Miller said about that rear end-kicking comment. “I just thought what we were missing was the confidence part of it. I thought about it and that is not even like me, but I felt that was the best thing to do to get my teammates going, and it worked.” Todd Davis returned rookie Josh Rosen’s deflected pass for a touchdown on the second play of the game and Chris Harris Jr. took another back 53 yards for a score with 2:02 left in the quarter as the Broncos (3-4) opened a 21-3 lead. “It has been a tough, tough two weeks,” Denver coach Vance Joseph said. “We had a tough loss on Sunday. We had a short week so it is really good for our football team to win a game. “ Rosen threw three interceptions and fumbled the ball away twice on a rough night that began badly for him and never got better. He limped off the field after he was sacked for the sixth time, on a fourth-and-16 play near the end of the game but said afterward he was fine. “I obviously didn’t play up to my standard or even close to it,” Rosen said. The Cardinals (1-6), down 35-3 at the half, fell to 0-4 at home for the first time since 1979.

Impermanence of permafrost

hio experienced a record-high temperature of 89 degrees last week as I was driving from Cleveland to Vermont. Strangely enough, I was listening to a podcast about thawing permafrost in Fairbanks, specifically in a tunnel at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory. This tunnel is roughly 50 feet underground and 360 feet in length. Named the Permafrost Tunnel Research Facility, this tunnel literally carves through 40,000 years of the tail end of the Pleistocene and all of the Holocene.

In 2001, U.S. special forces began operations on the ground in Afghanistan, opening a significant new phase of the assault against the Taliban and al-Qaida. In 2005, a defiant Saddam Hussein pleaded innocent to charges of premeditated murder and torture as his trial opened under heavy security in the former headquarters of his Baath Party in Baghdad.

DALLAS — Former USA Gymnastics President Steve Penny was arrested while in Tennessee on a family vacation, unaware a Texas grand jury had indicted him for allegedly tampering with evidence in the sexual assault investigation of imprisoned gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, an attorney for the former top official said Thursday. The Walker County district attorney’s office says Penny was arrested Wednesday by a fugitive task force after the Sept. 28 indictment. Penny’s attorney, Edith Matthai, said in a statement that her client was arrested at a vacation cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, while he was with his wife and three children. Penny, who was named the organization’s president in 2005 and resigned under pressure in March 2017, awaits extradition to Texas and was listed on a Tennessee jail roster Thursday afternoon. Matthai said authorities made no attempts to order Penny to Texas before the arrest. “If Mr. Penny had any idea he was sought in Texas this would have been appropriately handled through counsel without terrifying his family,� she wrote in the statement.

The Kenai Fire burned the Browns Lake area in 1947, which certainly removed some of the insulating vegetation and contributed to loss of these permafrost plateaus. But the rapid thawing of these pockets of permafrost is clearly linked to a warming climate, particularly increasing nighttime temperatures during the winter in recent decades. We can still freeze the ground several feet deep in a cold winter, but we get it all back in the summer and permafrost never gets started nowadays.

rial remained, and the third plot was stripped of all vegetation and surface organic material. The findings after 25 years suggest that partial clearing degraded the permafrost to 15 feet below the surface, while complete stripping degraded permafrost to 22 feet below the surface. In a more recent study, the partially cleared plot had grown back its vegetation and the degradation has stabilized, but the completely stripped site has continued to degrade to 32 feet! Back on the Kenai, Dr. Jones and his colleagues examined historic aerial photographs. One of the telltale signs of the thawing of permafrost plateaus is that the black spruce growing there starts to tilt, eventually falling over. They found that 60 percent of the permafrost plateaus present around Browns Lake in 1950 severely degraded by 2010, leading to replacement of black spruce forest by Sphagnum

Why care about permafrost? After all, it’s just frozen ground. But if you’ve paid any attention to concerns about thawing permafrost in Alaska, you’ll realize that it’s a big deal. A 2007 study conducted by the University of Alaska Anchorage’s Institute of Social and Economic Research estimated damage from climate change, primarily thawing permafrost effects on road and rail infrastructure, could cost the state $6 billion by 2030.

The permafrost depth ranged from 1 foot to almost 21 feet! What’s fascinating about this work is that this residual permafrost from a colder era exists in our part of the world where the mean annual air temperature is above freezing, 1.5 degrees Celsius to be exact. What allows the permafrost to persist in our warming environment is the insulating vegetation layer, composed mostly of black spruce and Sphagnum, that now grows in the unfrozen soil overlying the permafrost. Just how insulating this vegetation can be was best demonstrated at the permafrost tunnel in Fairbanks. There, three experimental plots were laid out in 1946.

Here on the Kenai Peninsula, permafrost is almost nonexistent. A statewide mapping effort by Torre Jorgenson and his colleagues in 2008 indicates that permafrost is absent from the western peninsula except for isolated patches in the Nikiski area. Retired Kenai National Wildlife Refuge ecologist Ed Berg described finding a permafrost pocket in the Kenai Lowlands northeast of Sterling in 2009. That’s what makes a 2016 study published in the journal, The Cryosphere, so interesting. Authored by Ben Jones at the USGS Science Center in Anchorage and his colleagues, it documents the dynamics of small permafrost plateaus around Browns Lake (east of Funny River) on the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

Nation/World Trump concedes writer likely dead, threatens consequences By MATTHEW LEE and DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday it “certainly looks” as though Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi is dead, and he threatened “very severe” consequences if the Saudis are found to have murdered him. As the U.S. toughened its response to Khashoggi’s disappearance, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin pulled out of a major Saudi investment conference Thursday amid global pressure. However, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also said the kingdom should be given more time to investigate before the U.S. lays any blame or considers action. Trump, who has insisted that more facts must be known before making assumptions about Khashoggi, did not say on what he based his statement on the writer’s demise two weeks ago. He commented as he left Joint Base Andrews for a political trip to Montana. Asked if Khashoggi was dead, he said, “It certainly looks that way. ... Very sad.” While Turkish officials have accused Saudi Arabia of the murder in Istanbul of Khashoggi, a U.S.-based writer who has been critical of Saudi leaders, Trump has cautioned against a rush to judgment against an important Mideast ally. And Pompeo, just back from talks with Saudi and Turkish leaders, said earlier Thursday that the U.S. needed more facts before deciding “how, or if” to respond. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin announced, “We have decided I will not be participating in the Future Investment Initiative summit in Saudi Arabia.” The Saudis had hoped to use the forum, billed as “Davos in the Desert” to boost their global image, but a number of European finance ministers and many top business executives have pulled out as international pressure on Riyadh has intensified over Khashoggi.

Facebook’s election ‘war room’ takes aim at fake information MENLO PARK, Calif. — Facebook is showing off its new “war room,” a center for combating fake accounts and bogus news stories ahead of upcoming elections. It’s the social network’s latest public signal that it takes election interference seriously ahead of the midterms. Facebook didn’t always take the risk of election interference seriously. Days after the surprise victory of President Donald Trump, CEO Mark Zuckerberg brushed off assertions that the outcome had been influenced by fictional news stories on Facebook. That attitude shifted as criticism of the company mounted.

Israel’s Supreme Court overturns deportation of US student

Turkish reports say Khashoggi was brutally murdered and dismembered inside the Saudi Consulate by members of an assassination squad with ties to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Saudis have dismissed those reports as baseless but have yet to explain what happened to Khashoggi, who was seen on video entering the consulate but has not been seen since. Trump has rejected talk that his reluctance to act is providing cover for the Saudis. And a senior U.S. official said Pompeo had warned the Saudi crown prince that his credibility as a future leader was at stake, reflecting the administration’s concern about how the case could affect relations. Pompeo, who returned late Wednesday from an emergency visit to Riyadh and Ankara to impress on senior officials

in both nations the need for a credible investigation, said: “I told President Trump this morning that we ought to give them a few more days to complete that so that we, too, have a complete understanding of the facts surrounding that, at which point we can make decisions about how, or if, the United States should respond to the incident surrounding Mr. Khashoggi.” Pompeo declined to comment on what the U.S. believes might have happened to Khashoggi but made clear Washington takes the situation “very seriously.” He said that Saudi leaders, including the crown prince, “assured me that they will conduct a complete, thorough investigation of all of the facts surrounding Mr. Khashoggi, and that they will do so in a timely fashion, and that this report itself will be

JERUSALEM — Lawyers for a U.S. student who was denied entry to Israel because of alleged support for a boycott campaign say the Supreme Court has accepted her appeal and will allow her to study in the country. The lawyers say that under Thursday’s ruling, Lara Alqasem will be released from detention immediately and allowed to study at Hebrew University, where she had been registered for classes. Alqasem, 22, a former boycott activist at the University of Florida, had been held in detention at Israel’s international airport since arriving in the country on Oct. 2 with a valid student visa. Alqasem turned to the high court on Wednesday after a lower court rejected her appeal.

Brazil candidates woo religious leaders SAO PAULO — Brazil’s presidential candidates are wooing religious leaders ahead of a runoff in a country with sizable Catholic and evangelical populations. Leading far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro met with the Catholic archbishop of Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday while his rival, leftist Fernando Haddad, spoke with evangelical leaders. Polls show Bolsonaro holding a solid lead over Haddad for the Oct. 28 vote. Bolsonaro has focused his campaign on a return to traditional family values, and his support is especially strong among evangelicals. Though Catholics are mostly split, polls indicate they still prefer Bolsonaro. — The Associated Press

Grown child keeps meetings with ex-stepfather a secret from mom can’t find an answer to on the internet. My family travels a great deal, and there are always unattended wheelchairs parked around the airport. My teenage brother thinks it’s perfectly fine to get in them and start playing with them, because “no one’s using them.” The rest of my family thinks it’s rude to use a wheelchair as a toy. How do you view this Abigail Van Buren and how should my parents explain it to him? Thanks. -- CLAIRE IN FLORIDA DEAR CLAIRE: Assistive devices are not toys, and they should not be “played with” by those who don’t need to use them. That’s how I view it. Have your parents actually TOLD your brother “No”? If they have and he does it anyway, it’s time for them to act like parents, make clear that there are consequences for disobedience and follow through. DEAR ABBY: My son recently graduated with a master’s degree. He’s a fine young man, did extremely

well all through his schooling and has never given his father or me a second of worry. He has not been able to find a job. It’s frustrating for him and discouraging, but we know he will, and we encourage him any way we can. My question is how do I deal with the barrage of inquiries from neighbors, hairstylist, co-workers and friends who constantly ask if he has found a job yet? I am sick of it! It’s none of their business, and I never ask them anything about their families’ employment. Please help. -- MISSOURI MOM DEAR MOM: Handle it this way. Say, “When he does, I’ll let you know.” Then change the subject. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Oct. 19, 2018: This year you use the unexpected to your benefit. You allow surprises to encourage out-of-the-box thinking. If you are single, someone who you think is perfect for you could turn out to be quite the opposite. Don’t worry; toward your next birthday, you could meet Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, you and your partner might use some unexpected developments to empower your bond. Life together proves exciting. PISCES encourages you to take a second look at situations. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH The unexpected runs wild through your plans. You might find that a loved one is helpful but also might be part of the problem. Use care with your finances. Count your change. Refuse to make a financial commitment. Tonight: What starts out as casual could become intimate. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Although everything seems to fall into place, you still might view your world as unpredictable. Know that, to many people, you seem to be the source of instability. In a difficult situation, defer to a loved one. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment, a party erupts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You receive several calls that encourage a trip in the near future. Ultimately, you will follow through, but know that plans made now could be subject to change. Do not dismiss the importance of your presence at a celebration later today.

Tonight: You can be counted on. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH The unexpected continues to be a theme throughout your day. You might wonder about alternatives or ways to make your life somewhat less affected by others. Remember, you have chosen these various people in your life. Tonight: Where a spontaneous happening occurs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others continue to be highly responsive. Toward midday, you see the need for one-on-one conversations at work or in your social life. You get a stronger sense of what is happening around you. An authority figure does a reversal. Tonight: Go on a good, old-fashioned date. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Focus on what you need to complete, and make sure that it happens. How you deal with a loved one could substantially change as a result of an unexpected insight. If you’re planning to go out of town, don’t be surprised if events trip you up. Tonight: Flow with the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH When you wake up, your playfulness emerges with you. Nevertheless, you could deny all the work, errands and other such details that need completion. An unexpected surprise could occur when you’re dealing another person and finances. Tonight: Celebrate a friendship. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Use someone else’s unpredictability to your advantage. You could be very tired and withdrawn. How you see what goes on down the path has a lot to do with the present moment. If you don’t like what you’re

seeing, take nap and then look at it again. Tonight: Love blossoms. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Make an important call in the morning, when the other party will be more receptive. Even if you receive a vague answer at first, allow this person to change his or her mind. Make relaxing plans. The closer you are to home, the happier you will be. Tonight: The spotlight is on you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Remain aware of your finances and spending. As the day ages, money matters tend to become less important. Understand what is motivating another person. You have the capability of saying “no,” but why not try to be open to this person’s energy? Tonight: Hang out late. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You love being the big personality of your social group. However, you discover that the role is less appealing as the day progresses. Fatigue allows you to be more realistic about your capabilities. A family member shakes up the status quo. Tonight: Let someone else take the lead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might feel off. However, once you relax, your energy restores itself. Others sense a difference in you and seek you out. Your smile goes a long way. Be open to inquiries and/or suggestions. Not all of your plans need to reflect the same old patterns. Tonight: Do not be alone. BORN TODAY Author John le Carre (1931), boxer Evander Holyfield (1962), actor John Lithgow (1945)

For more detailed information, call 877-487-2778, or email NPIC(at)state. gov. -- Heloise COLD WEATHER Dear Heloise: With cold weather approaching, I thought I’d share this hint: Men who work in cold weather know pantyhose will help keep their legs warm. -- Mike A., Lake Isabella, Calif. ICED COFFEE ALL YEAR Dear Heloise: I love iced coffee all year long, probably because I live in a very warm climate. The way I make it, the drink comes out sort of thick and very tasty. I make a pot of coffee and pour it into a large measuring cup. Then I add sugar and cream to taste. I pour that into ice-cube trays and freeze, and when I want my iced coffee, I put the ice cubes in a blender until it’s sort of half frozen and half liquid. It tastes wonderful. -- Shirley H., Key West, Fla. DUST CABINETS Dear Heloise: If you have cabinets that don’t reach the ceiling and there is dust on top, place newspaper on the top of the cabinets. This is especially effective in the kitchen, where there’s often grease with the dust. People won’t be able to see the newspaper, and it makes cleaning so much easier. You also can go to a dollar store and buy cheap place mats that you can wash or toss out. -- Nicole W., Meridian, Miss.

DEAR ABBY: When I was in my first year of college, my mother divorced my stepdad. “Charlie” was part of my life for 12 years, but since their divorce, she insists I have no contact with him. Charlie visits the state where I now live several times a year to see a friend and invites me to have dinner with him. I do, but because of Mom’s demand, I ask him to keep our time together a secret. If she knew we were in contact, I think she would cut me out of her life. Growing up, Charlie was a father figure to me -- a very important person in my life. Spending time with him is awkward, but it would feel wrong to never see him again. We were family for many years. I feel that as an adult, I should be able to decide for myself who I stay in contact with. I don’t know the whole story about their breakup, and honestly, I don’t care to know. Should I honor my mother’s wishes and have no more contact with him, or go with my gut and keep him in my life? -- FORGIVE OR FORGET OUT WEST DEAR FORGIVE: Go with your gut. As an adult, you do have the right to choose with whom you associate, and your mother should not be insisting upon it with no explanation. DEAR ABBY: I have an etiquette question I
