In the news BLM approves oil field in National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska ANCHORAGE — The federal Bureau of Land Management has signed off on another oil field within the National Petroleum ReserveAlaska. The BLM announced Monday that it had issued a joint record of decision with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approving Greater Mooses Tooth 2. ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. expects to start construction at the site this winter. The company says the site should be in production for 30 years, from 2020-2050. ConocoPhillips in 2015 applied to build a 14-acre pad and up to 48 wells. The company estimates the site will produce 40,000 barrels of oil per day. An 8.6-mile pipeline will move crude oil to Greater Mooses Tooth 1, which began production Oct. 5. BLM says 199 leases cover 2,163 square miles of the NPR-A.
Anchorage man sentenced to 81 years for attempted murder ANCHORAGE — A 24-year-old Anchorage man was sentenced to 81 years in prison for trying to kill two people. Christian Beier was convicted July 13 of two counts of first-degree attempted murder. Anchorage television station KTUU reports Beier was sentenced Tuesday to 141 years in prison with 60 suspended. Beier on October 23, 2015, shot 19-year-old Caia Delavergne through the eye and shot 17-year-old Conor Lally multiple times in the chest inside a west Anchorage home. He later posted messages to Facebook and sent messages to the victims claiming they deserved to be shot. He also threatened to “finish the job.” Delavergne lost her eye in the shooting. Beier at sentencing apologized to his victims. Anchorage Superior Court Judge Michael Wolverton said neither shooting victim had done anything to deserve being shot. — Associated Press

3 Friends Dog Park marks 1 year By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
When the ribbon was cut to open 3 Friends Dog Park in Soldotna last September, park organizer Connie Hocker realized a dream. One year later, that dream is getting bigger. The 3 Friends Dog Park, located on a 2-acre plot of land on North Aspen Drive just off the Kenai Spur Highway in Soldotna, is celebrating its one-year anniversary with a special gathering Oct. 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. The celebration will be Halloween themed and there will be a costume contest. Hocker said the gathering will also see the release of three balloons into the air commemorating the three people that the park owes its name to — Dean Birmley, Martha Brewer and Alice Puster. “It has literally been a blessing for our community,” Hocker said. “It is providing a safe place for people and pets to exercise.” It was Brewer’s real estate holdings that helped pave the way for the park to open after
exercise equipment that will make for a better experience for dogs to unleash their energy. “I’ve been working on this since back in 2011 when it was designated as an off-leash park,” Hocker said. “It’s taken me a while to get to this point.” The part opened Sept 30, 2017, essentially as a remodeled edition of the former Aspen Park. Hocker played a major role in developing the park and bringing together the necessary funds and volunteer efforts to stage the reconstruction of the wooded area. Prior to 3 Friends Dog Park opening last year, the area sat inconspicuously behind a row of businesses that line the Kenai Spur Highway. Thanks to Hocker and other supporters, the area quickly brightened up with a colorful display sign and fencing. “I drew that big beautiful entrance on a napkin,” Hocker said.

Lt. governor’s resignation sparks doubt By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press
JUNEAU — Some supporters of Alaska Gov. Bill Walker struggled Wednesday to understand the abrupt resignation of Walker’s lieutenant governor and what that means for his re-election hopes. Byron Mallott resigned Tuesday after what Walker, an independent, described as an “inappropriate overture to a woman,” Walker spokesman Austin Baird said. Walker campaign manager Alaska’s new lieutenant governor, Valerie Davidson, right, John-Henry Heckendorn said looks on as Gov. Bill Walker addresses a news conference “as of today, the campaign is Tuesday in Anchorage. Davidson was sworn in Tuesday after moving forward,” with new former Lt. Gov.

School superintendent talks budget cuts, curriculum By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Superintendent Sean Dusek gave the community a Kenai Peninsula Borough School District update at Wednesday’s joint chamber luncheon. Dec. 1 will mark Dusek’s fifth year as superintendent. Dusek started his presentation by saying he hopes the district can offer a high enough quality education that current students choose to stay in the borough and raise their own families in the school district. “I’m very passionate and proud of our school district,” Dusek said. “You’ve heard me talk about the great things happening, and you may have heard that we need your support as much, or more, every year than in previous years.” Dusek said the district is focused on allowing students

to reflect more on their learning. Dusek said the No Child Left Behind Act set the district back. “It really narrowed our curriculums,” Dusek said. “It really focused on a single test on a single day to judge not only
our students but our schools and our districts. I think that set us back a long way because it really focused our kids to be great test takers, instead of thinkers and problem solvers investing in their own See SUPER, page A8
have worried Walker and Begich would split the vote, giving the race to Republican Mike Dunleavy. Begich’s campaign manager did not return messages. Mallott, in his resignation letter, apologized. He has not returned a phone message. A huge “Walker Mallott” campaign sign still stood outside his house in Juneau. State Rep. Jason Grenn, an Anchorage independent and Walker supporter, said with early voting starting Monday, Alaskans want to hear from Walker on his plans. “Everything in politics is timing,” he said. The next few days “will be extremely critical for a lot of people on both sides to kind of see where the path to victory lies, if there is one still, for Gov. Walker.” Mallott’s sudden departure was a blow to a ticket that
grew out of political necessity in 2014. Walker and Mallott, who were both running for governor in 2014, decided their best shot at defeating Republican Gov. Sean Parnell was to join forces. As part of that arrangement, backed by state Democrats, Walker changed his party affiliation from Republican to undeclared, and Mallott, an Alaska Native leader and Democrat, ran for lieutenant governor. This year, after the state Democratic Party changed its rules to let independents run in its primaries, Walker flirted with that option, but backed out when it appeared Begich would run. Walker instead gathered signatures to qualify for the Nov. 6 ballot, ensuring he could run with Mallott. Dunleavy, in a statement, See LT. GOV, page A8
Judge rules Homer-based air carrier must pay pilot in whistleblower case ANCHORAGE (AP) — A federal judge has sided with an Anchorage pilot who claimed a Homer-based air carrier fired him for reporting safety problems. Brian Bell had reported that Bald Mountain Air Service falsified safety records and had gaps in drug and alcohol testing, prompting a Federal Aviation Administration inspection in 2012, the Anchorage Daily News reported Tuesday. Bell filed a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration after losing his job two days following that inspection. The judge’s order signed last week states Bell is entitled to more than $500,000 in back pay and $10,000 in damages and attorney fees. Bald Mountain also must offer Bell a pilot job once he renews his medical certificate. Bell claimed that the company
had forged training records, deactivated a malfunctioning fire detection system on a plane, and ordered employees to hide maintenance issues from FAA investigators. Bald Mountain is reviewing the judge’s order, and plans to file an appeal to clarify “certain legal inconsistencies within the decision,” attorney Aaron Sperbeck said. The company was “very pleased” that the judge had agreed with Bald Mountain on several issues, overturning findings in a preliminary report from 2016, he said. The company had appealed a 2016 preliminary report by OSHA that found Bell had reason to believe he was fired over his complaints to the FAA. The judge determined there was no proof that the company had “blacklisted” Bell within the aviation industry, which Bell had claimed.

Baby born after Michael starts life in Walmart parking lot By DAVID GOLDMAN and JAY REEVES Associated Press
PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Their home full of soggy furniture and mosquitoes, Wilmer Capps was desperate to find shelter for his wife and their son Luke, born just three days after Hurricane Michael ravaged the Florida Panhandle. So Capps, wife Lorrainda Smith and little Luke settled in for the longest of nights in the best spot they could find: The parking lot of a Walmart store shut down by the storm. On a starry night, mother sat in the bed of the family’s pickup truck; her child sat in a car seat beside her. Dad sat in the dark and pondered how it could be that his son’s first night out of a hospital could be spent outside a big-box retailer because of a lack of help. “It really upset me, man, because I’ve always been the type of person who would help anyone,” Capps said in an interview with The Associated Press, which found the family outside the store Monday night. An AP photographer accompanied them on a journey from the lot to a hospital and met them again at a hotel where donors later provided them a room. Luke is healthy and so is Smith, his mom. But she said her newborn deserves better than the stormy life he’s had so far. “We had everything. Fulltime job, a place to live. One day we had it all, the next we had nothing,” said Smith. “This is not what I thought I’d be bringing him back to.” The story of Luke’s birth is just one amid the chaos that life has become in areas of the Florida Panhandle hit hardest by Michael. With the hurricane bearing down on their native home of Panama City, Capps and Smith sent their three other children to stay with relatives. Doctors had

(AP Photo/David Goldman, File)
planned to induce labor on Oct. 11, the day after Michael made landfall between here and Mexico Beach, wiping out a wide expanse of buildings and timber. Smith went to the hospital as planned that day, courtesy of a ride in a police car along streets crisscrossed with downed trees and powerlines. Smith said workers at Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center told her they couldn’t deliver a baby that day, so she walked several miles (kilometers) home after being unable to find a ride back. Anya Mayr, a Gulf Coast Regional spokeswoman, said the hospital has operated only as an emergency room and hasn’t admitted patients since Michael. About 560 people have been treated for injuries ranging from storm wounds to heart attack and chainsaw cuts, she said, and more than 170 have been transferred to other hospitals by ambulances and helicopters.
Labor pains started the next day, so Capps drove Smith to a hospital about 80 miles (130 kilometers) to the north in Dothan, Alabama, which was flooded with coastal refugees from Michael. She gave birth at 1 a.m. last Saturday, three days after Michael’s landfall. Discharged from the hospital and unable to find a hotel room nearby, the couple drove back to Florida, where conditions had improved only slightly since Michael. Still unable to stay at their storm-damaged home amid oppressive heat and bugs, Capps settled on the Walmart parking lot because they were low on gas and were fearful of driving at night with a curfew in place. The store has a reputation for letting travelers sleep in the parking lot overnight, and Capps knew it. “I had no choice, (Luke) would have had a heatstroke. When he started acting like he
was getting sick from the heat and wouldn’t eat, that’s when we went to Walmart,” Capps said. “There was kind of a breeze there, there was no bugs biting us. I said ‘We’re all right now.” Police officers who showed up after the AP photographer realized the couple’s plight and escorted them back to Gulf Coast Regional, where workers checked out Luke but couldn’t provide a bed for the night, frustrating Capps. Fearful of safety and sanitation problems at a shelter suggested by workers from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the family returned to the Walmart lot. There, they met a security guard who helped secure them a hotel room in nearby Panama City Beach with air conditioning, water and power Tuesday night. Capps doesn’t know how long the aid will last, but he intends to repay the donation.

Margaret Marie Teed 1949 - 2018
Margaret Marie Hammer Bryant Teed began her journey December 13, 1949, with her womb mate, David (yes, she had a twin). She was the eldest of seven children and grew up in the small community of Pinole, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. She attended Pinole-Hercules #1 and #2, Helms Jr High and graduated from De Anza High School in 1968. She played on a girls’ softball team and was one of the featured citizens on a mural at the Alley Café in Pinole. She reigned as Miss Pinole in 1966. She married her high school sweetheart, Lynn A Bryant in 1968 and they had 2 children (LeAnne & Jay). She was remarried to Wallace E. Teed Jr. in 1972 and gained 3 stepchildren (Jason, Delaine & Paul) and another child (Eric). In the mid 1970’s she worked as a receptionist at Edie Adams Cut and Curl in El Cerritos, California. She and her mother Leatha made a great team at the beauty shop. She also loved her job during the early years of Costco, in Richmond, California, working in the outdoor hot dog cart. The cart was affectionately referred to as “The Weenie Wagon” and she enjoyed her prestigious title, “Weenie Women”. She later moved to work in the hearing aid center at Costco, so she could really help others. She was a participating member of the East Bay Classics Car Club and a beloved member of the Bayview Eagles, a charity organization in El Cerritos, California. In 2007, when her sister first became a teacher, Margy developed a sight word program to help first grade students recognize words, to advance reading skills. She wore a costume and became Grant Elementary School’s beloved “Nana Banana”. When she moved to Ninilchik, Alaska almost 9 years ago, she continued her generosity and love with the little children in town that she loved to read to as “Nana Banana”. She loved spending time with friends at the Ninilchik Senior Center, her beloved Quilting buddies, her best friend and partner in shenanigans Joni Johnson and at her church, St. Peter the Fisherman Methodist Church where she became their (sort of) secretary. She loved Volunteering for any and everything and it brought much joy to her. She loved her cookie projects for the prison ministry and making Chemo Caps for those fighting cancer. She lived for volunteering for the Community Christmas Express. She wanted to wrap the world in love and she had enough fabric to wrap them all in quilts, too! She is survived by her Children, Delaine Vargus of Woodland, California, LeAnne & Steve Smith of Ninilchik, Alaska, Jay Bryant of Folsom, California and Eric Teed of Sterling, Alaska. Her grandchildren, Brandon Vargus of Woodland, California, Selena Vargus of Woodland, California, Kaylee and Hunter Keogh of Wasilla, Alaska, Steven H. Smith of Ninilchik, Alaska, Cyle Williams of Charlotte, North Carolina, Jayden Bryant of Elk Grove, California, Jesse Bryant of Folsom, California and Bryan Teed of San Pablo, California and her only Great Granddaughter Kaylee Marie Teed. She is also survived by her Brothers & Sisters in law Dennis & Caren “Timmy” Hammer of Vacaville, California, Edward & Kelli Hammer of Vacaville, California, Anthony “Buddha” Hammer of Shingletown, California, her Sister & Brother in law Leatha Ellen “Ellie” & Mark Ferreira of Pinole, California, Sister in law Ethel Hammer of Houston, Texas, step brother Doug Shipley of Benicia, California and many beloved nieces and nephews. She was called home on October 6, 2018 and greeted in heaven by her parents Leatha Pauline & Edward J Hammer, Brothers David Hammer and Shawn Hammer, her step son Jason Teed and her daughter in law Lori Teed. Margy loved to donate food items (1 for every year of her life) to charity on her birthdays. In lieu of flowers it has been asked to donate non-perishable food items to your favorite charity, hers was Feed Ninilchik’s Hungry. A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Peter the Fisherman’s Methodist Church in Ninilchik, Alaska at 4:00 pm. A potluck will follow. Please come and share stories of what you shared with Margy.

Mark Thompson Merrill 1948-2018
Mark Thompson Merrill, 69, of Soldotna, Alaska returned to his loving Heavenly Father on October 10, 2018. There will be a viewing at 1 PM with funeral services following at 2 PM on Saturday, October 20, 2018 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel located at 159 W. Marydale Ave. in Soldotna. A graveside service will be held at 11 AM on Friday, October 26, 2018 at the Paul Cemetery located at 550 W 100 N, Paul, Idaho. Mark was born on 25 November 1948 in Tooele, Utah to Floyd and Marjorie Merrill. He spent his childhood in Melba, Idaho with his parents, four sisters, and two brothers. As a boy, he enjoyed hunting and pedaling around town with his friends. As a young man, he savored camping in the Sawtooth Mountains and team sports but was especially known as a tremendous football player. A farm kid, Mark honed a work ethic and earned money for college moving irrigation handlines in the fields around his hometown. He left Melba for Utah State University in 1967, finishing his accounting degree in 1973. After moving his growing family from Cache County, Utah to Canyon County, Idaho, Mark set out on the greatest adventure of his life—relocating to Anchorage, Alaska. In 1982, Mark gambled on moving to the Kenai Peninsula where he settled in Soldotna, Alaska. A devoted father to his seven children, Mark was active in Little League, local scouting, and relished the Kenai Mountains, the Peninsula’s many lakes, and the Kenai River. Beyond recreating with his children, Mark made many dear friends in the community while opening and growing his own CPA practice. As a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Mark also devoted his spare time to serving and caring for others. Beyond his professional peregrinations, Mark’s children remember him for his rich, full life. He valued striving to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and imparted to his children a love for the Savior and His teachings. His children remember how Mark shared with others his appreciation for sacred and secular music. A dedicated do-ityourselfer, he taught each child self-reliance. Above all, he was there for his kids through triumphs and sorrows alike, ensuring that each child felt uniquely loved through individualized attention. Mark is preceded in death by his father. He is survived by his mother, his four sisters and two brothers, his four daughters and three sons, his twenty-five grandchildren, and his three greatgrandchildren.”

What Others Say
The murder of Jamal Khashoggi can’t be ignored If Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
flew to Riyadh to read the Riot Act to Saudi rulers over the apparent murder of Jamal Khashoggi, he hid it well behind cheery smiles and professions of amity. But then outrage has been conspicuously absent from the Trump administration in the two weeks since Mr. Khashoggi entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, never to be seen again. Mr. Pompeo first went to see King Salman and thanked him for his commitment to a “thorough, transparent and timely investigation,” according to a State Department spokeswoman. He then went on to see the real power behind the throne, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and here President Trump joined in by phone. Mr. Trump on Twitter appeared to take at face value the prince’s claim that he knew nothing of what happened in the consulate and his promise of a “full and complete investigation.” “Answers will be forthcoming shortly,” the president promised. Later he said that blaming the Saudi leadership was another case of “guilty until proven innocent.” We’ll see. So far, the only investigations have been those carried out by the Turks. Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said Tuesday that investigators who searched the consulate were looking into “toxic materials, and those materials being removed by painting them over.” The Saudis have reportedly been searching for a cover story for the disappearance of the gadfly Saudi journalist, who had been living in self-imposed exile in the United States and writing columns for The Washington Post. Denial is no longer an option — Turkey appears to have pretty solid evidence that Mr. Khashoggi was killed by thugs flown in from Saudi Arabia — so the word in Washington is that the Saudis will try to claim an attempted kidnapping or interrogation gone bad. On Monday, when Turkey had already leaked considerable evidence of a hit, Mr. Trump was behaving like a royal apologist. “Just spoke to the King of Saudi Arabia who denies any knowledge of whatever may have happened ‘to our Saudi Arabian citizen,’” he wrote on Twitter. A bit later he told reporters, “The denial was very, very strong,” adding: “It sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. Who knows?” Actually, he probably does, if American spy agencies are doing their job. But evidence of big-time malfeasance has not prevented Mr. Trump from admiring the likes of Vladimir Putin of Russia, Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt or Kim Jongun of North Korea (“we fell in love”). Some of Mr. Trump’s more serious Republican supporters have taken a far less forgiving stance toward Saudi Arabia and its heir apparent. “This M.B.S. figure to me is toxic,” said Senator Lindsey Graham, who is normally a close ally of the president, using the crown prince’s nickname. “This guy has got to go.” There’s no question that Saudi Arabia is an important American ally in the Middle East and that the relationship cannot be casually severed. Yet the White House should have been first to suspend participation in a major investment conference in Riyadh next week until the Saudis provided a credible account of Mr. Khashoggi’s fate, rather than leaving it to American media organizations and business executives to take the lead in pulling out. If Saudi Arabia is allowed to get away with some lame story about the apparent murder of Mr. Khashoggi, the world’s growing gang of autocrats will feel even less constraint. There are plenty of measures at Mr. Trump’s disposal that would send the right message, from personal sanctions against those behind the Khashoggi operation to a suspension of arms deliveries to Saudi Arabia. Mr. Trump’s aides, members of Congress and allied leaders need to insist that he take the lead in demanding that Saudi Arabia acknowledge what really happened, and why it’s terribly wrong.
Hillary’s #MeToo nightmare
Hillary Clinton won the political battle over Bill Clinton’s sexual misadventures in the 1990s, at the cost of having to litigate them forevermore. In the era of #MeToo, her defenses and rationalizations for Bill are especially tinny and embarrassing. But she can’t show any weakness — any more than she could in 1998, when she helped rally the White House — lest she implicitly admit that providing cover for her husband’s misconduct for years was a mistake, or at least a significant compromise of her feminism. Advocating for “believing women” when your husband and political partner has had so many accusers is a test of audacity that Hillary remains determined to pass, as she demonstrated when two recent interviewers brought up the Monica Lewinsky scandal. CBS News correspondent Tony Dokoupil wanted to know if a 49-year-old President Clinton carrying on with a 22-year-old intern was an abuse of power. Hillary rejected the notion out of hand. How, Dokoupil followed up, could an intern really consent, given the vast power dynamic? She was an adult, Hillary shot back. About this she is obviously correct. Monica Lewinsky may have acted immaturely and foolishly, but there’s no doubt that she acted willingly, no matter how much she may — understandably — regret it now. Bill Clinton’s role was blameworthy nonetheless. It doesn’t take a fourth-wave feminist to realize that a president of the United
States having an intern he barely knows perform oral sex on him while he talks on the phone in the Oval Office is grossly exploitative. If this had been a movie director or a media executive, Rich Lowry everyone would recognize it as an appalling abuse of power, even Hillary Clinton. When Christiane Amanpour also asked Hillary about 1998 and what the difference is between what Clinton did and Donald Trump is accused of, Hillary replied, “the intense, long-lasting, partisan investigation in the ’90s.” The investigation doesn’t make the underlying conduct any better, though. Clinton should have been fully aware of the potential political and legal consequences of his actions. That he initiated a sexual relationship with a White House intern while former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones pursued a sexual-harassment lawsuit was practically an invitation to get asked about Lewinsky under oath. Of course, when he did, he lied, and the rest is history. Beneath Hillary’s answers in both interviews — and whenever Bill is asked about the scandal — there’s clearly a simmering anger. Both of them are still infuriated that he got caught and paid a price, and that it keeps coming up. Usually, they are only asked about
Lewinsky. But Clinton’s White House misadventure wasn’t a one-time lapse. In keeping with the most compelling #MeToo cases, there was a pattern of conduct going back decades. Clinton used Arkansas state troopers to procure women for him. Most troubling, Juanita Broaddrick accuses Clinton of raping her in the 1970s, an allegation that liberal journalists Chris Hayes, Michelle Goldberg and Ezra Klein now say they find credible. If Hillary doesn’t want to spend her time re-litigating 20-year-old scandals — as well as her loss in 2016 — she could simply step out of the public eye. It’s not as though her own side gains anything from her constant presence. Nor will the 2020 Democratic field lack for women candidates. All of those candidates will presumably be less conflicted talking about #MeToo, because they’ve never mounted bare-knuckled political defenses of their powerful, scandal-plagued husbands. But Hillary isn’t going anywhere. She and Bill are about to embark on a nationwide speaking tour. Their prominence will serve as a reminder that no matter what progressives say now, when push came to shove and they had to decide between protecting one of their own in high office and their feminist principles, it wasn’t even a close call. This is a public service of a sort, although one that no Democrat should welcome. Rich Lowry can be reached via email at comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Vote YES on Ballot Measure 1
which has crippled their salmon fisheries, and are now being forced to spend billions on habitat restoration. On Nov 6. please vote YES on Ballot Measure 1 in order to protect our critical salmon fisheries and industries.
My vote for Alyse Galvin
I am so very proud and appreciative of Sen. Lisa Murkowski for acting on principle rather than partisanship. She is a sharp contrast to our other senator and to Don Young, who march in lockstep with Trump’s party. Young, for far too many years has occupied our only seat on the House of Representatives. Young has embarrassed our state again and again with boorish behavior, crude and hurtful remarks. After 45 years in office, he is doing us little good these days. Fortunately, Alyse Galvin has launched a powerful challenge to replace Young. Alyse has raised over $1 million to fund her campaign, twice as much as Young. Alyse is an Independent, Democratic party-endorsed candidate for Congress. At a time when Alaskans are experiencing soaring health care costs, hurting from a struggling economy, and frustrated by Congress’ inability to put partisanship aside, Alyse is the change in representation we need. Alyse is someone who can work with Sen. Murkowski to standup to Republican bullying and find solutions. Young called Alyse “nasty” when she held his feet to the fire about his record in public debate. That’s a compliment. We would be so fortunate to have two women representing us in Washington, D.C. who have moral compasses, who are willing to make and act on tough decisions, who will vote their consciences. My vote goes Alyse Galvin for Con— The New York Times, Oct. 16 gress. — Kathryn Carssow, Homer
If you are uncertain about how to vote on our ballot measure 1 Stand for Salmon Initiative on Nov. 6 because you’ve heard so many conflicting opinions, you’re not alone. Here are a few basic, unassailable facts to consider when deciding your vote: 1. Our Stand for Salmon Initiative has been modeled after a highly successful Minnesota salmon habitat protection policy and has received input and guidance from Alaskan commercial and sports fishing organizations, a wide range of tribal leaders, long-standing recommendations from our Alaska Board of Fisheries and has received support by over 40,000 Alaskans from every legislative district. 2. The organizations that are funding the effort to defeat Ballot Measure 1 are a few out-of-state-based petroleum and mining companies who’s primary goal is to maximize their near-term profits and who have no vested interest in protecting our renewable salmon resources which annually generate over $2 billion worth of revenue, $744 million worth of taxes and provides over 30,000 direct Alaskan jobs and several times that in indirect jobs. 3. Ballot Measure 1 is a permitting policy that is designed to provide guidance for infrastructure and other projects that will allow construction projects to proceed while at the same time protecting our critical salmon habitat. 4. Oregon, Washington and California, which did not have salmon habitat protection, have lost 95 percent of their salmon habitat spawning grounds,

Nation/World Marijuana sales begin in Canada
Police say teenager baked grandfather’s ashes into cookies
By ROB GILLIES, GENE JOHNSON and TRACEY LINDEMAN Associated Press
MONTREAL — Jubilant customers stood in long lines for hours then lit up and celebrated on sidewalks Wednesday as Canada became the world’s largest legal marijuana marketplace. In Toronto, people smoked joints as soon as they rolled out of bed in a big “wake and bake” celebration. In Alberta, a government website that sells pot crashed when too many people tried to place orders. And in Montreal, Graeme Campbell welcomed the day he could easily buy all the pot he wanted. “It’s hard to find people to sell to me because I look like a cop,” the clean-cut, 43-year-old computer programmer said outside a newly opened pot store. He and his friend Alex Lacrosse were smoking a joint when two police officers walked by. “I passed you a joint right in front of them and they didn’t even bat an eye,” Lacrosse told his friend. Festivities erupted throughout the nation as Canada became the largest country on the planet with legal marijuana sales. At least 111 pot

shops were expected to open Wednesday across the nation of 37 million people, with many more to come, according to an Associated Press survey of the provinces. Uruguay was the first country to legalize marijuana. Ian Power was first in line at a store St. John’s but didn’t plan to smoke the one gram he bought after midnight. “I am going to frame it and hang it on my wall,” the
46-year-old Power said. “I’m going to save it forever.” Tom Clarke, an illegal pot dealer for three decades, opened a pot store in Portugal Cove, Newfoundland, and made his first sale to his dad. He was cheered by the crowd waiting in line. “This is awesome. I’ve been waiting my whole life for this,” Clarke said. “I am so happy to be living in Canada right now instead of south of the border.”
The start of legal sales wasn’t the only good news for pot aficionados: Canada said it intends to pardon everyone with convictions for possessing up to 30 grams of marijuana, the newly legal threshold. “I don’t need to be a criminal anymore, and that’s a great feeling,” Canadian singer Ashley MacIsaac said outside a government run shop in Nova Scotia. “And my new dealer is the prime minister!”
Student gunman kills 19, wounds 50 at school in Crimea By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV and NATALIYA VASILYEVA Associated Press
MOSCOW — An 18-year student strode into his vocational school in Crimea, a hoodie covering his blond hair, then pulled out a shotgun and opened fire on Wednesday, killing 19 students and wounding more than 50 others before killing himself. It wasn’t clear what prompted Vladislav Roslyakov, described as a shy loner, to go on the rampage. A security camera image carried by Russian media showed him calmly walking down the stairs of the school in the Black Sea city of Kerch, the shotgun in his gloved hand. “He was walking around and shooting students and teachers in cold blood,” said Sergei Aksyonov, the regional leader in Crimea. Officials said the fourth-year student killed himself in the library of the Kerch Polytechnic College after the attack. His mother, a nurse, was helping to treat victims at a local hospital after the shootings, unaware yet that her son was accused of the rampage and was already dead. Such school shootings are rare, and Wednesday’s attack was by far the worst by a disgruntled student in Russia, which annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in 2014. The bloodbath raised
A high school student mixed her cremated grandfather’s ashes into homemade sugar cookies and shared them with several classmates, police in Northern California said Wednesday. The student and a friend baked the cookies and shared them with at least nine classmates at their public charter high school near Sacramento on Oct. 4, said Davis Police Lt. Paul Doroshov. He said the Da Vinci Charter Academy students told some of their classmates that the cookies contained human ashes. He said investigators interviewed nine students who ate the cookies, and said there are other supporting details that he declined to disclose that make the allegations credible. Doroshov said the students are unlikely to be charged with a crime, even if one can be found that would apply. A classmate who told KCRA that he unknowingly took a bite of one of the sandy-textured cookie said he believes they contained human ashes. “She had mentioned her grandpa’s ashes before,” classmate Andy Knox said. Knox said the girl, who was not identified by authorities, previously offered him some ashes if he swapped desks with another student in their class. “I didn’t believe her until she pulled out the urn,” Knox said. “She told me there’s a special ingredient in the cookie.” He said he became worried after tasting the cookie. “I thought that she put drugs in it or something,” he said. Knox said the girl laughed and said the cookie contained her grandfather’s ashes. “And I was really, I was kind of horrified,” he said. He took only one bite. “If you ever ate sand as a kid, you know, you can kind of feel it crunching in between your teeth,” he said. “So, there was a little tiny bit of that.” Investigators said other students knew of the ashes before eating some of the cookies. Doroshov said he and investigators are at a loss to identify a motive. “They’re juveniles and it’s not a heinous or serious crime,” he said. There was no public health risk either, he said.
Melania Trump visits babies, moms affected by opioid crisis PHILADELPHIA — First lady Melania Trump toured a hospital’s neonatal care unit Wednesday to learn about the treatment given to newborns experiencing opioid withdrawal, after she was initially delayed by mechanical problems on her plane. Her flight was forced to return to a Washington-area military base because of smoke in the cabin, and she took a different plane to make the trip to Philadelphia. Mrs. Trump spoke briefly at a conference at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital on newborns who have been exposed to opioids while in the womb. The hospital has provided care to mothers with opioid use disorder and their newborn children for more than 45 years. She was introduced by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, who said the Trump administration’s plan to fight the opioid epidemic was “comprehensive and driven by the best science we’ve got.” — The Associated Press

questions about school security in the country; the Kerch Polytechnic College had only a front desk with no security guards. By the end of the day, Crimean authorities said the death toll stood at 19, apparently not including the shooter. Fifty-three people were wounded, including 12 in serious condition. It was the greatest loss of life in school violence in Russia since the Beslan terrorist attack by Chechen separatists in 2004, in which 333 people were killed during a three-day siege, many of them children,
and hundreds were wounded. The announcement that the shooter in Wednesday’s attack was a student who acted alone came after hours of rapidly shifting explanations as to what exactly happened at the school. Officials at first reported a gas explosion, then said an explosive device had ripped through the cafeteria during lunchtime in a suspected terrorist attack. Witnesses, however, reported that victims were being killed by gunfire. The Investigative Committee, Russia’s top crime inves-
tigation agency, eventually said all the victims died of gunshot wounds. Reflecting the daylong confusion, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the victims were killed by an explosion just as the Investigative Committee was announcing they were fatally shot. A somber-faced Putin deplored the attack as a “tragic event” and offered his condolences to the victims’ families at a news conference in the southern city of Sochi, where he was meeting with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.
Migrants moving in Guatemala, Trump targets Democrats By SONIA PEREZ D. Associated Press
CHIQUIMULA, Guatemala — More than 2,000 Honduran migrants traveling en masse through Guatemala resumed their journey toward the United States on Wednesday as U.S. President Donald Trump sought to turn the caravan into a political issue three weeks before midterm elections. A day after warning Central American governments they risk losing U.S. aid if they don’t do something and saying that anyone entering the country illegally would be arrested and deported, Trump turned his sights on Democrats and urged Republican allies to campaign on border security. “Hard to believe that with thousands of people from South of the Border, walking unimpeded toward our country in the form of large Caravans, that the Democrats won’t approve legislation that will allow laws for the protection of our country. Great Midterm issue for Republicans!” Trump said in a Wednesday morning tweet. “Republicans must make the horrendous, weak and outdated immigration laws, and the Bor-

der, a part of the Midterms!” he continued. In Guatemala, the migrants rose early and many left without eating breakfast, bound for Zacapa, the next city on their route. Overcast skies and a light drizzle took the edge off the sweltering heat and humidity, making the trek more bearable. Luis Navarreto, a 32-yearold migrant in the caravan, said he had read about Trump’s threats regarding aid to his country but was undeterred. “We are going to continue,” Navarreto said. “It is God who
decides here, we have no other option but to move ahead.” The migrants are fleeing widespread poverty and gangland violence in one of the world’s most murderous countries, and many blamed Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez for what they called unlivable conditions back home. “We are here because of Juan Orlando,” said Nelson Zavala, a 36-year-old laborer who added that the last three days had essentially been sleepless ones. The previous day the migrants advanced about 30 miles (40 kilometers) from the Hon-
duras-Guatemala border to arrive at the city of Chiquimula. That’s a tiny portion of the almost 1,350 miles (2,200 kilometers) they’d have to travel to reach the closest U.S. border. Some were able to hitch rides, packing the flatbeds of pickups and farm trucks, and even cargo holds of semis, while many more continued on foot with backpacks, strollers and Honduran flags. Hundreds advanced farther and faster than the main group to reach the Guatemalan capital, according to the Casa del Migrante shelter there.
Today is Thursday, Oct. 18, the 291st day of 2018. There are 74 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 18, 1892, the first long-distance telephone line between New York and Chicago was officially opened (it could only handle one call at a time). On this date: In 1648, Boston shoemakers were authorized to form a guild to protect their interests; it’s the first American labor organization on record. In 1767, the Mason-Dixon line, the boundary between colonial Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, was set as astronomers Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon completed their survey. In 1898, the American flag was raised in Puerto Rico shortly before Spain formally relinquished control of the island to the U-S. In 1931, inventor Thomas Alva Edison died in West Orange, New Jersey, at age 84. In 1944, Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia during World War II. In 1962, James D. Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were honored with the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology for determining the double-helix molecular structure of DNA. In 1968, the U-S Olympic Committee suspended Tommie Smith and John Carlos for giving a “black power” salute as a protest during a victory ceremony in Mexico City. In 1969, the federal government banned artificial sweeteners known as cyclamates (SY’-kluh-maytz) because of evidence they caused cancer in laboratory rats. In 1977, West German commandos stormed a hijacked Lufthansa jetliner on the ground in Mogadishu, Somalia, freeing all 86 hostages and killing three of the four hijackers. In 1982, former first lady Bess Truman died at her home in Independence, Missouri, at age 97. In 1997, a monument honoring American servicewomen, past and present, was dedicated at Arlington National Cemetery. In 2001, CBS News announced that an employee in anchorman Dan Rather’s office had tested positive for skin anthrax. Four disciples of Osama bin Laden were sentenced in New York to life without parole for their roles in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, speaking at Camp David, said he would host an international summit in response to the global financial crisis, but did not set a date or place for the meeting. Anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr urged Iraq’s parliament to reject a pact that would extend U.S. presence in Iraq for three years. Soul singer Dee Dee Warwick died in Essex County, N.J. at age 63. Five years ago: People in the San Francisco Bay area faced a frustrating Friday commute as workers for the region’s largest transit system walked off the job for the second time in four months. President Barack Obama nominated the Pentagon’s former top lawyer, Jeh (jay) C. Johnson, to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security. In a stunning aboutface, Saudi Arabia rejected a coveted seat on the U.N. Security Council, denouncing the body for failing to resolve world conflicts such as Syria’s civil war. The St. Louis Cardinals advanced to their second World Series in three seasons by roughing up the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-0 in Game 6 of the NL championship series. One year ago: President Donald Trump rejected claims that he had been disrespectful to the grieving family of a slain U.S. soldier in a phone call to the family. Instead of accepting awards at the CMT Artists of the Year show in Nashville, singer Jason Aldean and other stars honored the victims of the mass shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas. At a meeting of NFL owners in New York, Commissioner Roger Goodell said there was no discussion of changing the league’s national anthem policy to require players to stand.

Red Sox take 3-1 lead in ALCS over Astros Benintendi makes game-saving catch to preserve 8-6 Game 4 win as Boston closes in on World Series Bradley hit a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning, his latest huge swing for a Red Sox team that was knocked out of the postseason by Houston in the Division Series last year. Boston has won three straight after a Game 1 loss, and this one came with some controversy after Houston star Jose Altuve was denied a two-run homer in the first inning and called out because of fan interference. “Jose pays the biggest price because the trajectory of the ball looked like it was going to leave the ballpark,” Hinch said. “Changed that whole inning.” Boston trailed by one with two outs in the sixth when Christian Vazquez doubled to deep right-center. Center fielder George Springer nearly made a leaping catch, but the ball glanced off his glove. Bradley, who hit a grand slam in Game 3 and a three-run double in Game 2, put the Red Sox on top 6-5 with his soaring shot to right field on the next pitch from rookie Josh James. “I’m very proud of him, what he’s done in the second part of the season and what he’s done tonight and in this series. It’s amazing,” Cora said. Boston got some insurance in the seventh when Lance McCullers walked in a run after taking over for Ryan Pressly with the bases loaded and two outs. J.D. Martinez padded the lead further with an RBI single in the eighth.

HOUSTON — Left fielder Andrew Benintendi made a diving catch with the bases loaded for the final out, and the Boston Red Sox held off the Houston Astros 8-6 Wednesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the AL Championship Series. Boosted by a questionable fan interference call and another home run from Jackie Bradley Jr. in a gripping, back-and-forth game, the Red Sox moved within one victory of their first World Series trip since winning the 2013 title. Craig Kimbrel earned a shaky six-out save, aided by a rocket throw from right fielder Mookie Betts and Benintendi’s daring grab of Alex Bregman’s sinking liner in left. Had the ball scooted past a charging Benintendi, it easily could have scored three runs and won the game for Houston. “Beni took a shot. Had a great jump. And he got it,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. Instead, the Red Sox improved to 4-0 on the road in these playoffs and inched closer to eliminating the defending World Series champions. “This game was incredibly good on both sides — great at-bats, great plays,” Astros manager AJ Hinch said. “The difference in that game literally was a couple inches.” Game 5 is Thursday night in Houston, where ace Justin Verlander will pitch for the Astros with their season on the line. David Price, who was warming up in the bullpen late DODGERS 5, BREWERS 2 in Game 4, will start for Boston on LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton three days’ rest after Chris Sale was ruled out Wednesday while recover- Kershaw put his previous flop behind him and pushed the Los Angeles Dodging from a stomach illness.

With so much at stake, the three-time Cy Young Award winner bounced back from one of his worst postseason starts with one of his best, pitching the Dodgers past the Milwaukee Brewers 5-2 Wednesday for a 3-2 lead in the NL Championship Series. “I don’t really think about the one before. And after this one I’m not going to think about this one, either,” Kershaw said. Max Muncy hit a go-ahead single in the
sixth inning for the defending NL champs. Kershaw held the lead, scoring an insurance run in the seventh and then exiting. Roughed up in the NLCS opener, Kershaw mixed his fastball and slider on a hot day to shut down the Brewers. The Dodgers ace didn’t allow a baserunner past the third inning. “He just has a knack,” Brewers star Christian Yelich said. “He has the ability to punch guys out.” Game 6 is Friday night in Milwaukee.
The Brewers will start left-hander Wade Miley, who walked Cody Bellinger to open Game 5 before getting pulled in an interesting piece of strategy by manager Craig Counsell. Hyun-Jin Ryu will go for the Dodgers. “To go back to Milwaukee up 3-2 as opposed to being down 3-2 is huge for us,” Kershaw said. “It’s been a battle every single game we’ve played them so far and we don’t expect anything different when we go back.”
DeRozan shines in Spurs debut to beat Timberwolves SAN ANTONIO (AP) — DeMar DeRozan had 28 points in his San Antonio debut, LaMarcus Aldridge added 21 points and 19 rebounds and the Spurs overcame a 23-point performance by Minnesota’s Jimmy Butler in a 112-108 victory Wednesday night in a matchup of teams coming off a tumultuous offseason. DeRozan was acquired from Toronto after the Spurs responded to Kawhi Leonard’s trade demands by dealing their star forward and Danny Green for the Raptors’ All-Star guard and Jakob Poeltl. Minnesota is facing a similar trade demand from Butler, who has opted to play through it. Butler, who has told Minnesota that he will not re-sign with the team in the offseason, added seven rebounds and three assists in an active 31 minutes.

Caps beat NY in OT By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin scored two powerplay goals and Matt Niskanen had the winner in the Washington Capitals’ 4-3 overtime victory over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night. Ovechkin has six goals in six games to start the season after scoring 49 last season. He has 24 career goals against Henrik Lundqvist, his most against any goaltender in the NHL. Niskanen beat Lundqvist 2:18 into overtime, putting the puck into an empty net as Lundqvist lunged to try to stop the shot. John Carlson had Washington’s other goal. Capitals goalie Braden Holtby stopped 29 of the 32 shots he faced in arguably his best game of this season. One of his biggest saves came with time running out in the second period when he denied Kevin Hayes on a shorthanded breakaway, and Ovechkin tied up Neal Pionk’s stick to prevent a rebound goal. CANADIENS 3, BLUES 2 MONTREAL (AP) — Brendan Gallagher scored with 11 seconds left to give Montreal its third straight victory. Gallagher tipped a loose puck past goalie Jake Allen after jumping on a bad giveaway by defenseman Colton Parayko in front of the net. Max Domi and Mike Reilly each scored their first goal of the season to help Montreal improve to 4-1-1. Carey Price made 23
saves after missing two games because of the flu. Vince Dunn and Brayden Schenn scored for St. Louis, and Allen made 20 saves. The Blues dropped to 1-3-2.
FLAMES 5, BRUINS 2 CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Michael Frolik scored two goals to lead Calgary past Boston. Johnny Gaudreau collected his 100th NHL goal and rookie defenseman Juusu Valimaki scored his first for the Flames. Matthew Tkachuk added an empty-net goal. Mikael Backlund and Michael Stone each had two assists as Calgary won its second straight home game. Goaltender Mike Smith stopped 24 of 26 shots in the win. Patrice Bergeron had a goal and an assist for the Bruins. Brad Marchand also scored. Tuukka Rask turned away 24 shots in the loss.

Anaheim goalie John Gibson lost his shutout with 34.8 seconds left when Ross Johnson’s shot deflected off Casey Cizikas and then Anaheim’s Luke Schenn and into the net.

Pigskin Pick‘em Falling Broncos kick off NFL week 7 against Cardinals
T
hings are spiraling in Denver. At least the Broncos won’t have to worry about the cold and the snow when they journey to Arizona for a Thursday night game. The Broncos have dropped four straight after opening with two wins. Their defense is dead last against the run and 27th overall. With the Cardinals going with rookie quarterback Josh Rosen, the temptation will be to keep the ball on the ground as much as possible in this prime-time, uh, thriller. “Oh yeah, anytime you’re losing, everybody’s fighting for their lives and fighting for their job every week at every position, it doesn’t matter,” says veteran cornerback Chris Harris Jr. “You just want to continue to ball, continue to do your job. There’s always finger-pointing and you don’t want to have that. We don’t want to have that at all. We want to just stay together and keep working. “We know everybody’s fighting for their lives. That’s the NFL, though. If you don’t have that in your mind every week, that you’ve got to go out here and play great, and
if you don’t your job can be on the line, then you haven’t woken up to the NFL.” ro icks Arizona (1-5) wasn’t awake for much of the early season and was the last team to win a game.

Belichik on Khalil Mack: He’s no Lawrence Taylor By ANDREW SELIGMAN AP Sports Writer
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — No matter how dominant Chicago Bears star pass rusher Khalil Mack is, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick wanted to make one thing clear. He’s no L.T. “Wait a minute, we’re talking about Lawrence Taylor now,” Belichick said Wednesday. “Yeah, I’m not putting
anybody in Lawrence Taylor’s class. So, you can put everybody down below that. With a lot of respect to a lot of good players now, but we’re talking about Lawrence Taylor.” The Patriots visit the Bears this week and that means Belichick will get an up-close look at one of the game’s top outside linebackers, assuming Mack is ready to play after injuring his ankle last week. Belichick knows the Patri-
ots could have their hands full with a two-time All-Pro and havoc-wreaking edge rusher who has energized a struggling franchise. He’s just not ready to place Mack — or anyone else — on Taylor’s level. “He’s already had a huge impact on the Bears’ defense in the first five games,” said Belichick who was Taylor’s position coach and then defensive coordinator with the New York Giants. “So, I’m not taking anything
away from him. You’re talking about Lawrence Taylor, you’re talking about probably the greatest defensive player in the history of the game. So, I think it’s a little early. I mean, look, I wouldn’t put anybody in Lawrence Taylor’s category. Not that I’ve seen. And I’ve seen a lot of great players.” Whether Mack will play this week is up in the air after he was injured in an overtime loss at Miami. He did not practice
Wednesday, and coach Matt Nagy said he is day to day. Mack was hurt early in the game against the Dolphins and his 2018 streak of at least one sack and one forced fumble in each game ended. Playing without him would be a huge blow, particularly with Tom Brady and the Patriots visiting on Sunday. “We’re just going to continue to keep an eye on it and make sure whatever we do,
we’re more cautious than anything,” Nagy said. “I believe in that and I think it’s important to go that route.” Mack has not missed a game since Oakland drafted him with the No. 5 overall pick in 2014. Chicago acquired him from the Raiders just before the start of the season, after he held out the entire offseason and preseason trying to secure a long-term deal rather than play under the final season of his rookie contract.

The realtors association and Soldotna Rotary both donated $2,500 each last year. The newer additions of benches and exercise equipment will help with dogs with physical disabilities, Hocker said. The equipment also caters to dogs of different sizes. There is a separate section of the park that allows small dogs to run around. Hocker said the new additions include a ring jump, a pole jump, an “A” ramp that leads dogs up to a crest and back down, and two sets of uneven steps. She also said that two additional equipment pieces will be added soon, as Home Depot is donating materials to build a “kissing booth” section featuring a ramp that leads up to an

opening where dogs can pose for pictures for their owners, as well as a set of weaving poles, which challenge dogs to move quickly between stationary poles set in the ground. In the 12 months since opening, the park has gained the attention of dog lovers and dogless people alike. “I drive by there every day on the my way to work and the parking lot is packed and crowded with dogs,” said Kelly Martin, CEO of the Realtors association. “We had the park closed down for two days in May, and you could hear the dogs barking in their cars down the street wanting to go. I’ve never seen a disappointed dog until that.” Carmichael said the years leading up to last year’s opening featured a lot of movement in getting the new park constructed, but the $55,000 bequest really got the ball rolling for good. “From that point forth, we were off to the races trying to keep up with Connie,” Carmichael said. Carmichael, the parks and rec director in the city of Sol-
dotna, said that the project could not be possible without the volunteer help, adding that the folks who show up to use it daily keep it running. “Aspen Park was popular but very underutilized,” he said. “The dogs keep things moving and it maximizes the park.” Hocker said more is still coming with the addition of the Adopt-a-Bone program, a fundraiser to help keep maintenance up. Individuals who donate to the support the ongoing maintenance of the park can decorate small, medium and or large bones and hang them on the outside fencing of the park. “We’ve had an amazing response from the community and businesses,” Hocker said. “It’s taken me eight years to get to this point with assistance from businesses.” And she’s not done yet. “Next summer I’m implementing a memorial section,” she said. “We’ll be creating three pillars covered with stones, along with bricks laid in groups. You can add your dogs ashes to the bricks you make, New additions to the 3 Friends Dog Park include a row of rings and uneven steps, seen here and donations go to the park.” Friday afternoon in Soldotna.

that are out there that certainly not where we want to be,” Dusek said. “In this district, when you look just at us, I would say we’re above average. We are moving on up and doing right by our kids.” Dusek said there has been a gradual increase in graduation rates, with 85 percent of students graduating high school. The national high school graduation rate is 84 percent, according to the National Center
for Education Statistics. The district has seen a decline in enrollment, which Dusek said could be related to the economy Outside, with families moving away for other jobs, and a demographic shift in age on the peninsula. Dusek said he’s optimistic about future industry projects that could bring more jobs and families to the peninsula. The district serves about 8,700 students.
Around Alaska Fairbanks commission calls for more sustainable practices FAIRBANKS (AP) — A draft proposal outlines plans for the Fairbanks North Star Borough to become more sustainable by boosting food security, reducing energy consumption and minimizing waste. The borough is taking public comment on the Sustainability Commission’s plan through Wednesday, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported . The plan includes goals of increasing local food production, promoting the use of solar panels, and diverting 25 percent of waste from the landfill by 2025. The plan does not detail how the borough will meet those goals. The commission hosted a summit on sustainability last week, taking input from area residents. “It’s clear there’s desire in this community to be more conservative with our food, materials and energy,” said Jimmy Fox, a commission member. “There was good, constructive dialogue around ways we can be more self-reliant by growing our own healthy foods, reducing our energy consumption, reusing materials and retrofitting buildings.” The Sustainability Commission was created in 2017 to replace and broadened the Recycling Commission. The plan also aims for the borough government to reduce energy consumption and work toward increasing energy efficiency in homes. “Sustainability, which is often described as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs, is a very wideranging topic,” said John Davies, a commission member. “As a start, the commission is focusing on waste reduction, and food and energy security. We hope to develop specific and measurable goals to address these concerns.” The plan is expected to be finalized in January.
Dusek also brought awareness to homeless issues the district and community is experiencing. He said the district typically sees 200 students enroll in the Students in Transition program by the end of the school year. This year, he said the district is projecting more than 300 students will be enrolled. When it comes to this year’s finances, Dusek said the district is using $1.43 mil-
lion of their savings. He said the district has been using a combination of reductions and savings to not fall off the cliff, but warned that if the economy doesn’t turn around, the district might have to make difficult cuts. “We’re hoping that the economy will turn around so that we don’t have to continually cut,” he said. “In the next two years if funding revenues don’t
change across the state and in this borough, we will be back to only being able to provide minimum graduation requirements,” Dusek said. “We don’t want to lose the flavor of all of our schools.” Dusek ended his presentation by saying the district is going to continue to do better, with a good attitude. He said he hoped to present to the chamber again in February.

On Wednesday, he said he was still undecided but leaning toward Begich. “This is why I don’t vote early,” he said via Facebook messenger. Begich told Ketchikan public radio station KRBD that combining his campaign with Walker’s was unlikely. But he said the dynamics of the race have shifted. “The
question now, really, is the viability of campaigns,” he said. “We’ve always believed we have a strong campaign.” Walker said it’s too late for Mallott’s name to be removed from the ballot.

But given Mallott’s resignation, Walker could able name a replacement.

NEW YORK — “The Conners” star Michael Fishman says dealing with the cancellation of the “Roseanne” reboot was heartbreaking but describes the return of the cast in the revamped show without Roseanne Barr as a gift. Fishman was among “The Conners” stars who came out for the premiere of the show on Tuesday night at the Paley Center — the same night it made its debut on ABC. Barr was fired from “Roseanne” after making a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a top official in the administration of former President Barack Obama. Barr tweeted over the summer: “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.” She was dismissed shortly thereafter and the show was canceled. Fishman plays Roseanne’s son DJ on the show, and had been a part of “Roseanne” since he was a boy. He describes moving on without Barr in the

Review: ‘November Road’ by Lou Berney The Bookwork Sez Catch me, if you can! And the chase began, one of you the pursuer, the other pursued, racing through park or playground, across the yard, down the sidewalk in a game that children have been playing forever. Catch me if you can, and escape wins the game. In the new book “November Road” by Lou Berney, escape means another day to live. On the day after President Kennedy was shot, everything became crystal-clear to Frank Guidry. For years, he’d been Carlos Marcello’s right-hand man, his fixer, his enforcer, the guy Marcello relied on, but something was up. On the day after Kennedy was shot, Carlos’ assistant, Seraphine, told Guidry that he was being sent to Houston to get rid of a car that could connect Marcello to the assassination. Guidry knew the rest: get rid of the car, then they’d get rid of him. And so he escaped. When she was dating Dooley, Charlotte Roy knew he drank too much.
Two daughters later, too many nights waiting for Dooley to come home, and Charlotte had enough. The President was dead and so was her marriage. Grabbing her daughters and the family dog, she left Woodrow, Oklahoma and headed for California. When a guy like Carlos Marcello tells you to find someone, that’s what you do, and finding Guidry should been easy for Barone, Marcello’s newest fixer. Sure, there were wrong trails and a little matter of a badly injured hand but he was smarter than Guidry. Finding Guidry was only a matter of time. Frank Guidry couldn’t relax for a second. Seraphine knew he’d fled Houston and she likely knew how. He’d tried to keep his head low but he figured that Marcello would know what he was driving long before he hit the Texas-New Mexico border. To avoid the guy who was undoubtedly tailing him, he needed to find some sort of disguise, some way to not stick out. He needed to become a family man, quick. A future divorcee and two kids was just the ticket. When was the last time you See BOOK, page B2
‘The Darkest Minds’ — a solid YA outing R eeling It In C hris J enness There was a brief moment where YA post-apocalyptic fiction was all the rage. Do we put the start of that at “The Hunger Games?” I’m sure someone out there could point to a pre-curser, but 2008 seems like as good a place as any for this trend to begin. The book was a smash hit as were its two sequels. The movie that came along four years later cemented the trend, was a blockbuster success, and basically assured that Jennifer Lawrence will never have to work again. What followed was generally of lesser quality, if basically the same kind of thing. They made movies of “The Maze Runner,” (eh) and “Divergent,” (yech). They tried to build franchises out of series like “The Fifth Wave,” (did anyone see this movie?) and “The Mortal Instruments” (I’m already bored and that’s just the title). They even revived an earlier generation of YA (before it had a hip moniker) and gave us films from “Ender’s Game” and “The Giver.” Though these films made some money to a greater or lesser degree, mostly the trend was a bust. “The Hunger Games” continued to break ground and records, but that’s because it, like “Harry Potter” before it, managed to grow and get deeper as it progressed. Try as they might, Hollywood was never able to recreate the success and the YA genre moved on to more traditional melodrama. Coming soon is “The Hate U Give,” an adaptation sure to ruffle feathers but that looks pretty good nonetheless. With all that, however, hope springs eternal in the boardrooms of the major studios, someone always certain they can grab a piece of that “Hunger Games” magic. This week See REEL, page B2

You know this will be the third time that we’re all together in this way and trying to bring these characters to life. And it’s a really special opportunity,” Fishman said. The Nielsen company said Wednesday that 10.5 million people tuned in, larger than any other ABC show this new season. But it didn’t come close to the 18.2 million people who watched the first episode of the “Roseanne” reboot last spring. Lecy Goranson, who plays Becky, says Barr’s firing initially affected so many more. “I think what people don’t understand is it’s not just the cast or the writers. We have a huge crew that was also put out by all of this, and people who not only love to work, but they love to work with each other,” Goranson said. The new series begins after the death of Barr’s character from an opioid overdose. Goranson thinks that while Barr’s infamous tweet was racially insensitive, she doesn’t believe that Barr is a racist. “I feel like the comment was racist. I think undeniably it was. And part of what I thought was what it must be like to be a black person in America and grow up to hear those comments, whether it’s at the grocery store or in the media or wherever you are, over and over and over again. And how that must chip at yourself over time, even — especially if it’s casual,” Goranson said. However, Goranson says she doesn’t think Barr’s tweet reflects who she is as a person. Nevertheless, she feels Barr acted irresponsibly. “Do I think Roseanne is a racist? No. Has she ever said a racist thing to me one time? Never. So, to me it was a political thing. It was a mistake. But you know, if you’re that — if you’re on the forefront of a show and you’re the star — you have to take accountability for what you say and do. And, unfortunately, this was the outcome, and it’s devastating,” Goranson said. Co-stars Sara Gilbert and John Goodman were also at the premiere, but declined to walk the red carpet.

had a manicure? Never mind. You won’t have any fingernails left to manicure when you read this book. You’ll have them all
chewed off. That’s because “November Road” is a nail-biter from the first chapter. By then, author Lou Berney has prepared a deliciously scandalous possibility for his readers, centered in a historically unforgettable backdrop, in a cultural-turning-point year, run by characters who kill as casually as they walk. Those guys are terrifyingly ice-cold, in fact, and their presence will make you want to check the other rooms in your home - and if that’s not enough to keep you perched nervously on the edge of your recliner, put a lovely young housewife-almost-feminist innocently in the midst of this tale, add national turmoil and a slinky female mobster with absolutely zero morals, and you’ve got a book that you’ll stay up all night to read. You’ve got a book you’ll carry around with you. In “November Road,” you’ve got the perfect escape.
. . . Reel
I watched a film that came out earlier in the year. “The Darkest Minds” is definitely Continued from page B1 YA post-apocalypse, but, in addition, hopes to draft a little off of the “X-Men” franchise. As so often happens, the end of the world as we know it starts with a plague. Starting with just a few before eventually spreading world-wide, children are struck with a bizarre affliction that either kills them or, in rare instances, gives them strange powers. Panicking, the U.S. government rounds up all surviving kids and puts them in camps, labeling them according to color. Blues are telekinetic, Greens are super-smart. Yellows can control electricity. All these colors are considered manageable, but Oranges are another thing. With the ability to control the minds around them, Oranges are considered too dangerous to let live. And Reds are another matter entirely. Into this system is thrown little Ruby Daly, a scared young girl who realizes to her horror that she can make the people around her do what she wants. The first thing she does with her Orange power is to convince the attending doctor that she is, in fact, a Green. This works for several years, but eventually any lie is uncovered, and Ruby is forced to go on the run. With the help of several different sets of saviours, each with seemingly independent agendas, Ruby and her small ragtag band attempt to get to potentially mythical safe place, where their kind can live in peace. I was pretty skeptical of this film, especially considering how problematic the run of the genre had gone so far. My son wanted to see it, so we went for it and, actually, it’s not half bad. It’s not as nuanced as “The Hunger Games,” but as far as an entertaining and engaging romp, I enjoyed it. Amandla Stenberg as Ruby is very good, and it’s no wonder considering her YA pedigree. She played Rue in the original “Hunger Games” and also starred with Ansel Elgort in last year’s “Everything, Everything.” Her next project is to star in the previously mentioned “Hate U Give.” She grounds this film and keeps her experience believable. Near the end, “Minds” takes some narrative leaps that I’m sure are more fleshed out in the novel, but even so, Stenberg manages to keep it on course. Less interesting is her love interest Liam, played by Harris Dickenson, but it’s not really his fault. His role is really to react and look stricken at whatever new predicament Ruby finds herself in. Aside from the acting, the writing is serviceable and the special effects are actually very good – often subtle when a lesser movie might have tried to create an unnecessary spectacle. I also appreciated that this film was willing to go a little dark (hence the title) instead of being a completely traditional hero story. Unfortunately, this film never really found an audience. It was unable to even make a profit on a modest budget and, as such, I think it’s pretty unlikely we’re going to get the continuing adventures of Ruby and Liam, much my son’s disappointment. Luckily, he can just read the books. Grade: B “The Darkest Minds” is rated PG-13 for some frightening scenes of violence involving children.
Jacket from the ‘The Wire’ sold at auction to a McNulty The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — A jacket worn by fictional detective Jimmy McNulty in the popular HBO television series “The Wire” has been sold at auction to a real-life McNulty. The Baltimore Sun reports that a blue jacket worn by actor Dominic West was sold for $3,350 Saturday at the Thomas Johnson Elementary Middle School Fall Festival. West starred as detective Jimmy McNulty in the criti-
cally acclaimed drama and the jacket features a “J. McNulty” nametag. The buyer, Kevin McNulty, has a son named James McNulty, so the nametag fits perfectly. Series creator David Simon had promoted the auction on his Twitter account. He tweeted that he slipped a bottle of whiskey into one of the pockets and included a signed script in the sale. Proceeds are going to the Baltimore public education system.
Rembrandt’s Night Watch to get restoration By MIKE CORDER Associated Press
AMSTERDAM — Rembrandt van Rijn’s Golden Age masterpiece The Night Watch is getting a makeover. Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum announced Tuesday that it will restore its most famous painting, starting next year in a project that will be open to the public and viewable online. Rijksmusem General Director Taco Dibbits said that from July the huge Golden Age masterpiece will be encased in a specially built glass chamber as it first undergoes a thorough varnish-to-canvas examination using a precise microscope and other modern techniques. The findings will guide the subsequent restoration. “The restoration techniques we now have are so advanced that we will safeguard the painting for future generations,” he said. The painting is ready for a little TLC. The work, which last underwent a restoration 40 years ago, is starting to show blanching in parts of the canvas. “We want to understand what that change is so that we can restore it as well as possible,” Dibbits told reporters at a presentation of the planned restoration. The painting of a citizens’ militia completed in 1642 has suffered in the past. During the World War II Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, it was hidden along

with other valuable artworks in a cave in the southern city of Maastricht. In 1975 a man slashed it with a knife, leaving 12 scars in the canvas, and in 1990 an attacker sprayed acid on the canvas damaging the varnish. It took restorers only a couple of weeks to repair the damage inflicted by the acid. Dibbits said the painting has been retouched many other times in the past and that the later additions are starting to fade. The next restoration should change all that. “I think it will look much better,” Dibbits said. “If you stand close to it, it will appear
far more detailed. So it will be very special to see, but the restoration process itself will also be very special.” In the past, restorations have often been carried out behind closed doors, but museums now are starting to open up the process to the public. The Night Watch “belongs to us all,” Dibbits said. “That is why we have decided to conduct the restoration within the museum itself and everyone, wherever they are, will be able to follow the process online.” More than 2 million people each year visit the Rijksmuse-
um, which has the world’s largest collection of Rembrandt works. The Golden Age master is known for his innovative use of light and rebellious compositions. The restoration project comes in the year that marks the 350th anniversary of the artist’s death in 1669 and will be part of a “Year of Rembrandt” at the museum. Before its restoration, The Night Watch will be part of a major exhibition of all the Rembrandt works owned by the museum — 22 paintings, 60 drawings and 300 of his 1,300 prints.
Accusation of police wrongdoing in Weinstein case By MICHAEL R. SISAK and TOM HAYS Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — The sexual assault case against Harvey Weinstein was roiled Wednesday for the second time in a week by what New York City prosecutors said was a police detective’s improper conduct. Det. Nicholas DiGaudio, whose alleged witness coaching prompted the dismissal of part of the case last week, is now accused of urging one of Weinstein’s accusers to delete material from her cellphones before she handed them over to prosecutors. The Manhattan district attorney’s office detailed the alleged misconduct in a letter to Weinstein’s lawyer that was made public Wednesday. The new allegations involve the detective’s interactions with an unidentified woman who says Weinstein raped her in his Manhattan hotel room in 2013. Weinstein’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, pounced on the revelation, saying it “even further undermines the integrity of this already deeply flawed indictment of Mr. Weinstein.” In her letter, Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said that during the investigation, prosecutors asked the woman to hand in any mobile phones she might have used during the time when she interacted with Weinstein. The woman was willing to do so, Illuzzi-Orbon wrote, but was worried that the phones contained, “in addition to communications with the defendant, data of a personal nature that she regarded as private.” She asked DiGaudio what to do. He advised her to delete anything she didn’t want any-

one else to see before handing over the phone, the prosecutors said. “We just won’t tell Joan,” DiGaudio allegedly said. Illuzzi-Orbon said the woman didn’t delete any information and instead asked a lawyer for advice. The phones were turned over “without any deletions” Illuzzi-Orbon wrote. The lawyer hired by the woman contacted the district attorney’s office about the detective’s conduct on Oct. 10. Weinstein was initially charged in New York with attacking three women. The part of the case involving one of those alleged victims, Lucia Evans, was dismissed last week after prosecutors said that DiGaudio had advised a witness to keep quiet about doubts whether Evans’ alleged sexual encounter with Weinstein was consensual.
DiGaudio’s union defended his conduct. “A woman should not have to surrender confidential intimate information that’s immaterial to the case to defend herself against a sexual predator. That’s being victimized twice. Detective DeGaudio was sensitive to that,” Detectives’ Endowment Association President Michael Palladino said in a statement. “This appears to be just another smear campaign against Detective DeGaudio to cover up the Manhattan DA’s own incompetence.” Three of the five remaining criminal charges against Weinstein stem from the alleged rape. Two other charges allege he performed a forcible sex act on a different woman in 2006. Weinstein denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex. NYPD Deputy Commissioner Phil Walzak said: “The
evidence against Mr. Weinstein is compelling and strong. The NYPD will continue its work with the prosecution to deliver justice for the courageous survivors who have bravely come forward.” DiGaudio was one of two investigators who escorted Weinstein out of a police station and into court after his May arrest. Before that, he and other police officials poured on the pressure for prosecutors to bring charges, saying publicly that they believed they had gathered ample evidence to make an arrest. Brafman is seeking a dismissal of all charges against Weinstein. He has argued that the 2013 rape allegation is contradicted by warm emails the accuser sent Weinstein after the date of the alleged attack. The lawyer says they show an intimate, consensual relationship.
Court tosses DeLorean widow’s ‘Back to the Future’ lawsuit By DAVID PORTER Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A federal court has dismissed a lawsuit brought by the widow of automaker John DeLorean over royalties stemming from the “Back to the Future” movies. Sally DeLorean claimed a Texas company using the DeLorean name had illegally accepted royalties from Universal Pictures for the promotional use of images of the iconic car. But a judge ruled Friday that a 2015 settlement agreement in a separate lawsuit over trademarks prohibited her from suing for the royalties. The sleek, angular car with gull-wing doors was featured in the movie franchise starring Michael J. Fox about a kid who travels back in time to engineer his parents’ meeting. In her lawsuit filed in April,
Sally DeLorean, who lives in New Jersey, claimed the Texasbased DeLorean Motor Co. had illegally profited from a 1989 agreement between her late husband and Universal. That agreement gave John DeLorean and his heirs 5 percent of net receipts for any merchandising and promotions that featured the car and logo “as a key component.” The Texas company isn’t affiliated with the one John DeLorean started, but under the 2015 settlement agreement was allowed to use the DeLorean name and trademarks. Sally DeLorean claimed in the current lawsuit that the Texas company had illegally represented to Universal that it had the right to the royalties and had already received “a substantial payment” from Universal. She argued in the lawsuit that the 2015 settlement didn’t transfer

contractual rights to the company. In his opinion, U.S. District Judge Jose Linares wrote that the 2015 settlement agreement covers the Universal agreement even though it doesn’t mention it explicitly. “As both agreements apply to
the use of the word ‘DeLorean’ and the DMC logo, and relate to the DeLorean automobile’s image, the Court concludes that the subject matter of the agreements overlap,” he wrote. Attorneys for the two sides didn’t respond to requests for comment Monday.

Mother’s empty-nest syndrome becomes an unhealthy fixation experiencing is not. Keep the conversation open with your husband about relocating to Arizona. Your son needs a chance to become independent as much as you need the time to allow it to happen. You say your husband can’t tolerate the Florida humidity. Is it your intention to impose it on him Abigail Van Buren for the next five years? It would create unnecessary stress on your marriage. Further, what will happen after your son earns his degrees and is offered a job elsewhere? Do you plan to move again to be close to him? Continue your counseling and meds. And while you’re at it, find a volunteer project so you won’t have time to sit and brood. With time, your anxiety will subside, and you will become less emotionally dependent upon your son -- which will be healthier for both of you. DEAR ABBY: I have read many of your columns
and enjoyed them. These days though, you seem to hear from more and more people who are afraid of saying what needs to be said. I suspect it can be chalked up to the “be politically correct” nature of our country lately. But why is it that when people do speak their minds, others consider them rude? I let people know when they are disrespectful to me in public, and I don’t put up with being put down. Am I wrong in feeling that people who say mean things need to be immediately corrected? Or am I really being rude? -- FARMGIRL IN MISSOURI DEAR FARMGIRL: You are not wrong, and it is not rude if you choose to defend yourself. What you are being is assertive, which is a healthy personality trait. No one should have to accept as normal social interaction being made to feel “less than” in public. If someone has a bone to pick with you -- and vice versa -- it should be done in private.

Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 18, 2018: This year you often eye a goal and refuse to let go of your vision. What you create could be more important than you yet realize. For others, the commitment and process involved will be significant. You easily identify and get along with others. If you are single, someone from a distance or a different culture could enter your life. Take your time getting to know this person before you decide you have met The One. If you are attached, the two of you have been planning a special trip or vacation. Continue planning it, but try to make it happen this year. AQUARIUS could be stubborn and pushy. 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 What starts out as a mixed message could straighten out quickly without you making an effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You have a lot on your mind. When going to an important source of feedback, you might find that this person is not ready to deal with you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be ready for a different type of opportunity. At first, confusion surrounds you, as many people don’t understand that you are

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Understand that many people around you are heading in different directions. This opens up the potential for disagreements.

standing. Do not allow this disagreement to permeate your day. When the other party makes an effort, even if it is combative, be responsive. Tonight: Make peace, not war. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Break past existing barriers rather than start an argument. Note how different each person is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be sorry that you’ve made certain choices that have pointed you in a particular direction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You seem to beam, even in moments of conflict. You do not always act quickly or impulsively. Today is a different story.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Your best bet is to slow down and let others take the lead for now. You might have strong feelings.

A fuzzy solution Dear Heloise: I’ve discovered the power of MICROFIBER TOWELS! In the dryer, they attract every kind of lint and tiny particle imaginable. This got me to wondering, and I threw a black shirt covered with fuzz (a facial tissue that’d been in the wash) into the dryer along with a microfiber cloth. At the end of the cycle, the black shirt was bright and bold black -- no lint at all! -- D.B., Buffalo, N.Y. Yes -- the magic of microfiber! A couple of caveats: Do not use fabric softener with microfiber -- it coats the fibers, so they can’t “grab on” to lint. Also, be sure to clean your lint filter on your dryer after each load. -- Heloise HINT FROM HIM Dear Heloise: I keep a spray bottle of white vinegar at the kitchen sink. I spray the black rubber collar of the garbage disposal, and it never gets slimy and gunky. I love and read your hints all the time! -- Buddy N., The Villages, Fla. Buddy, great use for one of my “green” go-to products! The acetic acid in vinegar does, in fact, kill bacteria -- the slime and gunk that forms on the collar of the garbage disposal. Researchers even agree that vinegar can kill the flu virus! Vinegar is cheap and readily available, and I’ve compiled a pamphlet of my favorite hints for how to use vinegar for everything around the house, from ant prevention to “unwilting” veggies. Would you like to receive one? It’s easy. Visit www.Heloise.com to order, or send a stamped (71 cents), long, self-addressed envelope, together with $5, to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Set a bowl of vinegar in the corner of a room to eliminate funky odors. After a day, pour the vinegar down the drain. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I am suffering from a depression I think many mothers experience when they become empty nesters. Although my husband is supportive, I miss my 18-year-old so much that sometimes I’m tempted to drive to his college in Florida. My husband and I have always wanted to live in a warmer climate, but he doesn’t like the humidity in Florida. We had planned to move to Arizona once my son went away to college, but now I’m having second thoughts because the drive to Arizona from Orlando is twice the distance, and I don’t think I can take his being that far away. I have good job offers in Arizona, and family there as well, so I know it would be a healthier place for me to be. I just cannot reconcile with the fact that my son will be so far away. He will be in college in Orlando for the next five years, as he is in a master’s degree engineering program. Am I being overprotective? He’s my only son. I have real anxieties about this and have been seeing a counselor as well as my doctor, who prescribed a mild antidepressant. Is this normal? Should I stay put? Should I move? -- INDECISIVE IN ILLINOIS DEAR INDECISIVE: While some degree of empty-nest syndrome is normal, what you are
