Air Force F-22 Raptor makes emergency landing ANCHORAGE — The Air Force says a landing gear malfunction likely was the cause of an emergency landing of an F-22 Raptor fighter jet in Alaska. The F-22 made the landing early Wednesday afternoon at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage. The pilot was not injured. Air Force spokeswoman Erin Eaton says the base launched in investigation after the emergency landing. A preliminary review pointed to the landing gear problem, the Air Force said in an announcement Thursday afternoon. The F-22 is a twin-engine, single-seat fighter produced by Lockheed Martin. The company website the aircraft are 62 feet (18.9 meters) long with a wingspan of 44.5 feet (13.6 meters). Two Raptors were scrambled last month to intercept and monitor Russian bombers in international air space west of mainland Alaska.

Aniak residents say new airport beacon is causing problems BETHEL — Residents of a small village in western Alaska say a recently installed beacon at the airport is shining into homes and keeping them up at night. KYUK-AM reports the state installed the new beacon at the Aniak Airport during the summer as part of a runway construction project needed to meet federal aviation requirements. Residents say they were never notified about the beacon and are working on putting together a petition. Aniak City Manager Kevin Toothacker says he is planning to meet with the company tasked with the construction project to find a solution. He says it’s too expensive to move the beacon and moving it would just cause it to shine into other homes. He says other options could include softening the light or changing its angle. — Associated Press

Soldotna beautification permits approved By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Alaska Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration approved the city of Soldotna’s application for a beautification and encroachment permit, according to Stephanie Queen’s city manager report. The permit allows the city to plant landscaping along portions of the Kenai Spur and Sterling Highway right of ways. In her report, Queen said the city would continue working with adjacent landowners in coordinating landscaping design in key areas of the highway corridor. The report also states the project will be funded using money previously appropriated for right-of-way improvements. Director of economic development for the city, John Czarnezki said the permit includes mostly vacant right-ofway land along the Sterling Highway. “For example, there’s some Department of Transportation land at the C&C Mall, near the old Napa mall, in front of the old Blockbuster building, at Thompson’s Corner and on the A grassy area adjacent to the Sterling Highway in Soldotna is photographed on Oct. 11. The corner is one of several that could See CITY, page A2 be updated as part of the city’s beautification plans. (Erin Thompson/Peninsula Clarion)

World-renowned pianist to play in Soldotna By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

At first blush, it’s a tad unbelievable that a pianist of international renown will be playing Soldotna Christ Lutheran Church on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with the cost for entrance at just $20, or $10 for

students. But talk to Teresa Walters, who has played on six continents and most of the 50 states to glowing reviews, and her Saturday appearance starts to make sense. “My impression flying into Anchorage is the scenery just took my breath away,” said

Walters, who made her first flight to Alaska on Wednesday. “I saw the diversity, the beauty of the landscape, the mountains, the lakes, the panorama. “It’s spectacular. It’s everything you always hear about and read about.” Alaska’s beauty also fits perfectly with Walters’ program,

titled “Celebrating Our World.” “It’s a focus on what we all have in common as human beings, how the music of the great composers belongs to all of us,” she said. “It’s something that unites every historical period beyond politics and religions. It unites the human condition. “The focus in this day and

age can be on what divides us, but there is so much more we have in common.” Walters believes the power of music should not be limited to all of the great concert halls she has played in cities such as New York, London, Paris, MosSee PIANO, page A2

Delegation pens another transboundary letter By KEVIN GULLUFSEN Juneau Empire

Alaska’s congressional delegation penned another letter, made public in a Tuesday press release, urging the State Department to protect Alaska’s watersheds from Canadian transboundary mine pollution.

The letter, dated Oct. 2 and signed by Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, Rep. Don Young, Gov. Bill Walker and Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott, asks the department to “deliver a strong message” to Canada at bilateral meetings in Ottowa this month. That message includes an

ask for water quality monitoring by both nations, binding legal protections for Alaska’s watersheds and financial assurances for possible pollution. “American resources, communities, and industries must not be harmed by developments upstream in British Columbia,” the group wrote.

October’s letter is the latest in a series of correspondences from Alaska’s executive branch and its congressional delegation dating back to the Obama administration. The group fears that British Columbia’s mining practices have left Alaska’s waters vulnerable. Alaska requires 100

percent funding for a mine’s environmental liabilities before a mine is allowed to begin operations. Canada does not. As of Dec. 31 2016, when the last figures were publicly available, B.C. mines were under bonded by more than $1.5 billion — money that wouldn’t be See LETTER, page A3

Soldotna City Council confirms Groups to sue over new members, new student rep Fairbanks air pollution By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Soldotna City Council confirmed their new council members as well as a new student representative at Wednesday’s meeting.

Paul Whitney, unopposed for Soldotna City Council

FAIRBANKS (AP) — Environmental groups say they are planning another lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to push action in addressing air pollution in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The nonprofit environmental law firm Earthjustice sent a 60-day notice Wednesday that it would be suing the EPA “for failing to perform a nonSee NEW, page A2 discretionary duty under the Clean Air Act,” the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported .

Soldotna High School sophomore, Katie Delker, was confirmed as Soldotna’s newest liaison between the high school and the city. She told the council on Wednesday that she loves to participate in any event that involves leadership. “It’s incredible that students can watch these meetings and

get involved with decisions that are being made that affect this town,” Delker said. Delker is on her student council at Soldotna High, and she participates in cross-country, cross-country skiing and soccer during the school year.

Walters will play five pieces. She said Chaconne in D Minor, written by Johann Sebastian Bach and transcribed for piano by Ferruccio Busoni, starts the show because Bach’s music is on the Voyager Golden Record that has been traveling into space on the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft for over 40 years. The Hymn of Morning by Franz Liszt carries special meaning for Walters. “In the world, it’s always morning somewhere, and with all my travels and jet lag I can tell you that firsthand,” Walters said. “People everywhere share hope that every new day is a better day.” Crusader’s March from The Legend of St. Elizabeth by Liszt is an easy fit because it talks about the beauty of nature worldwide. The Maiden and the Nightingale by Enrique Granados is special to Walters because

of her love of birds and wildlife. She hopes to see some of Alaska’s famous wildlife while here. Finally, Prelude to the Canticle of the Sun by Liszt references the Canticle of the Sun by St. Francis of Assisi, which praises things like Brother Sun and Sister Moon. Walters said these things unite every time and place through the centuries. “I’m happy to have the opportunity to play it here because this is certainly one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and I’ve seen a lot of the Earth,” Walters said. One of the hallmarks of the Performing Arts Society is also getting performers into the schools, so Walters will present a program at Kenai Middle School on Monday morning. “It’s important to introduce them to the best music the world has to offer,” Walters said. “They spend a lot of time listening to pop music which,

frankly, comes and goes. The music I’ll play has been around for centuries and centuries and is part of the world’s shared heritage. “My goal is to talk about the music composers, bring them to life, and remind them that this music belongs to them and children around the world.” Tickets are available at Northcountry Fair and River City Books in Soldotna and Already Read Books and Country Liquor in Kenai. There also should be tickets at the door, but Christian said the only way to guarantee a spot is to buy early. The rest of the Performing Arts Society season is classical flute and piano with Tomoka Raften and Maria Allison on Nov. 9, contralto opera and art songs with Rehanna Thelwell on Feb. 2, and Eduard Zilberkant and the UAF String Faculty on April 6.

city’s website. The plan focuses on improving public parks and trails, new signage, landscaping in the highway right of ways, policy options encouraging redevelopment of underutilized buildings and parcels and other general beautification. One example in the plan shows enhanced landscaping in front of the Blazy Mall, which shows a walkway, a private sign, hedges, aspen trees and a walking trail. This type of landscaping could potentially take up the space of existing parking. Such improvements could benefit the private landowner

through curb appeal, and the community, according to the Downtown Improvement Plan. The primary goal with the highway corridors is to improve visual continuity along the road. According to the plan, this can be achieved with seamless landscaping along the corridor and the adjacent property. The plan said this type of landscaping could draw people to existing business storefronts. The recommendations in the Downtown Improvement Plan will also likely benefit cyclists and pedestrians. “The overarching strategy

behind these recommendations is to give Soldotna the look, feel, and functionality of a proper downtown — one in which multiple commercial and/or mixed-use streets are logically interconnected to serve pedestrians, cyclists, and automobile traffic,” the Downtown Improvement Plan. “Nonmotorized paths serve a variety of users and connect them with logical destinations and streets.” Details will be finalized over the winter, and construction will begin in next spring.

The Red Chris Mine, for example, is underfunded by more than $4 million and may soon face bankruptcy. The copper and gold mine lies upriver from Wrangell and Petersburg on the Stikine River watershed, which supports an annual run of about 40,000 Chinook salmon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These Canadian mining projects are located near transboundary rivers that flow from British Columbia into four U.S. states, including Alaska, and, if managed poorly, pose a threat to Southeast Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flourishing commercial fishing and tourism industries,â&#x20AC;? the delegation wrote. The delegation hopes to secure financial assurances from Canada that should their mines harm downstream water quali-

ty, there would at least be some money to do something about it. Alaska would also need to prove that water quality was harmed in the first place. That can only be accomplished by water quality monitoring, something the delegation is still pushing for but has made strides toward funding.

With the uncertainties regarding Imperial Metalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; financial standing, we need enforceable protections now, before the Red Chris mine goes bankrupt and begins polluting the Stikine River on a far greater scale,â&#x20AC;? Weitz said in a statement. Pen pals The congressional delegation has written letters to at least three previous State Department heads but their requests havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been fully satisfied. In May of 2016, the delegation wrote to then-Secretary of State John Kerry, asking him to pursue intervention via the International Joint Commission, a venue tasked with settling transboundary watershed disputes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether that letter was answered. The delegation reiterated those concerns in a Sept. 8, 2016

letter, saying that the administration wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing enough to protect Southeast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These mines pose huge economic risk to Alaska in the form of acid mine drainage and toxic heavy metals that threaten Alaska Native communities â&#x20AC;Ś as well as the regional $2 billion-dollar-a-year fishing and tourism industries. â&#x20AC;Ś To this point, we believe there has been a failure by your Department to support potential solutions embraced by Alaskans,â&#x20AC;? the delegation wrote. That letter garnered a response, but no guarantees that the delegations requests would be met. The delegation tried again in November of last year, this time writing to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Tillerson responded, through a representative, that the State Department would need Canadian coopera-

tion to pursue IJC intervention. Tillerson left his post in March, and latest letter is addressed to current secretary Mike Pompeo, who is yet to respond.

What Others Say

Silence on human rights signals OK to Saudi Arabia Two years ago it would have been

inconceivable that the rulers of Saudi Arabia, a close U.S. ally, would be suspected of abducting or killing a critic who lived in Washington and regularly wrote for The Post — or that they would dare to stage such an operation in Turkey, another U.S. ally and a NATO member. That the regime now stands accused by Turkish government sources of murdering Jamal Khashoggi, one of the foremost Saudi journalists, in the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate could be attributed in part to the rise of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s 33-year-old de facto ruler, who has proved as reckless as he is ambitious. But it also may reflect the influence of President Trump, who has encouraged the crown prince to believe — wrongly, we trust — that even his most lawless ventures will have the support of the United States. The Obama administration distanced itself from the Saudi leadership because of its opposition to the nuclear deal with Iran, and because of the misbegotten Saudi intervention in Yemen, which has led to thousands of civilian deaths in indiscriminate bombing. But soon after taking office, Mr. Trump moved dramatically to restore relations. He made Riyadh — rather than Ottawa or Mexico City — the destination for his first foreign visit; there he quickly succumbed to the over-the-top displays of fealty and promises of huge arms purchases by his hosts. Unlike previous presidents, Mr. Trump did not raise human rights issues with Saudi leaders, though the crown prince has imprisoned hundreds of liberal activists, including women who advocated the right to drive. When scores of businessmen and royal family members were detained in late 2017 in what amounted to a massive shakedown — most were released after turning over assets to the regime — Mr. Trump was approving. “I have great confidence in King Salman and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia,” he tweeted. “They know exactly what they are doing.” When the crown prince visited Washington in March last year, Mr. Trump received him at the White House and again made no mention of human rights. “The relationship is probably the strongest it’s ever been,” he said. “We understand each other.” The president bragged about hundreds of billions in arms purchases he said the Saudis had promised, saying, “Saudi Arabia is a very wealthy nation, and they’re going to give the United States some of that wealth.” Some of those deals have yet to materialize, but the administration continues to support Saudi bombing in Yemen, reversing the Obama administration’s withdrawal of targeting and refueling support. After one airstrike killed dozens of children in August, Congress conditioned U.S. aid on a certification by the administration that the regime was taking steps to avoid civilian casualties. Despite evidence to the contrary, the certification was issued. Could this record have encouraged the crown prince to believe that he could take drastic action to silence one of his most prominent critics without damaging his relations with Washington? If so, the administration’s response thus far would not have altered his conclusion. Not until Monday, six days after Mr. Khashoggi’s disappearance, did Mr. Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speak out; even then they offered no criticism, only expressions of concern and an appeal for investigation. Some in Congress have had more to say: Republican senators such as Bob Corker (Tenn.), Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) and Democrats including Tim Kaine (Va.), Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) and Chris Murphy (Conn.) have warned of the consequences of an attack on a journalist. Mr. Murphy tweeted that if the Turkish allegation of murder is true, “it should represent a fundamental break in our relationship with Saudi Arabia.” That is the right response.

‘Stand for Salmon’ and protect Alaska’s most precious resource

When I see professional fishing guides or the commercial fisher on the “Stand for Alaska” advertisement encouraging Alaskans to vote against Ballot Measure 1, I have to ask myself: Why would anyone associated with the fishing industry, or anyone who depends upon, or cares about our amazing natural resources, vote against implementation of basic, commonsense protections, as well as their own best interests? All I can figure is that perhaps some of these folks were lucky enough to have grown up here and are unaware of the decimation of wild salmon that has occurred elsewhere. I was vividly reminded of this on recent visit to northeastern Ohio, where there are frequent government warnings posted on rivers advising against even canoeing due to the high levels of contaminants. Thankfully that’s not the case in Alaska. In fact, we’re so big and bountiful that it’s difficult to conceive of the same thing ever occurring here. However, that’s exactly the thinking that led to those polluted rivers in Ohio, and the annihilation of the oncegreat salmon populations that stretched across much of the western hemisphere. It’s difficult to imagine today that salmon runs throughout Europe or the East Coast of the United States once rivaled what we see in Cook Inlet. The Pacific Northwest, on the other hand, has seen salmon stocks dwindle within recent memory. During my lifetime 350 salmon stocks in the Pacific

Letter to the Editor Walker is the only candidate who can tackle tough Alaska issues

In Mike Dunleavy’s recent column, “A Deficit of Trust,” the former, partial-term state senator blames others for his own failures as a legislator, a very common but deceitful defense tactic. In 2015, following the collapse in oil prices and Alaska’s revenues, Sen. Dunleavy and the Republican-controlled legislature were afraid to offer ideas for revenue; they dug in and insisted there would be no solution but to cut state jobs and services. We are still paying the price: In the face of rising crime, they cut prosecutors, troopers, and treatment options. After months of legislative inaction, special sessions, and important bills to pay with no money, Gov. Bill Walker demonstrated the courage and independence needed to make the tough decisions. Looking at the numbers, pretty much everyone with a calculator agreed that the state would need to tap into the Permanent Fund to fund basic services like schools, infrastructure, and public safety. Gov. Walker capped the dividend and reinvested the rest back into the Permanent Fund, so that it could continue providing PFDs for generations. Following Walker’s leadership, the next two years, the legislature stepped up and arranged for reductions to preserve the PFD and its earnings income. We all, including Mr. Dunleavy, — The Washington Post, Oct. 9 need to stick to the truth on this issue. I have other concerns with Mike Dunleavy. In 2015, he infamously attempted to use his sway in the Republican-controlled

senate to block the popular safety bills, Erin’s Law and Bree’s Law. With Gov. Walker’s support, I’m grateful a bipartisan legislature ignored Dunleavy and passed the laws. Now age-appropriate K-12 healthy relationship education is provided in our public schools, with a parental opt-out provision. Anecdotally, teachers indicate students already demonstrate improved character, refusal, and reporting skills. I’m grateful to Gov. Walker for many actions he took for Alaskans his first term. In the 2014 Governor’s race, Walker, Mallott and Hollis French cooperated for the good of the state, established the Walker/ Mallott “Unity Ticket” and eliminated an ill-fated, three-way ballot race. By unifying, the Walker/Mallott team defeated Gov. Parnell. Immediately, in January 2015, Gov. Walker helped Alaska begin to heal from Parnell’s Alaska National Guard Sexual Assault scandal by appointing Col. Laurie Hummel as Adjutant General for the Guard. She got right to work, sorted out the problems, and established a well-functioning Guard for Alaskans. Over Gov. Walker’s first term I’ve observed his appointed commissioners testify in committees with profound grace, respect and expertise. He has put together an incredible team that includes leaders from both sides of the political spectrum. They deserve our trust and gratitude. And we owe our gratitude to Gov. Walker for listening to Alaskans and expanding Medicaid. The resulting federal influx of dollars for the state has brought better health to over 40,000 Alaskans, and has boosted our health care industry and services. It is the one bright spot for job growth over the course of our recovery from this recession.

In his first term, Gov. Walker and his administration championed public safety bills like Erin’s and Bree’s Law, SB 54, HB 312, and more quality-of-life Alaska bills than I’ve seen enacted in decades, including a bill to process our backlogged rape kits. Gov. Walker stopped state spending on past governors’ and legislatures’ sketchy boondoggle projects that wasted billions of state dollars for decades, including the Knik Arm Bridge and the LIO building on Fourth Avenue in Anchorage. And the best is yet to come. Gov. Walker has managed to bring the Alaska LNG (natural gas line) closer to reality than ever before. From hindsight of the 1970s Trans-Alaska Pipeline (TAP) project, I understand the LNG project’s value to Alaskans. My family is comfortable today because the TAP provided the opportunity for 20-somethings like us, friends and family members, to move up to a new status: homeowners. Walkers’ LNG project is well-developed and almost all the pieces are in place to uplift a new generation of Alaskans and provide cheap energy across the state. Dunleavy is the one who is untrustworthy: he offers no plans; his numbers don’t add up; he doesn’t show up. Mike Dunleavy was an unreliable rural school superintendent and legislator; when things got tough, he quit. He would only disappoint us as governor. In comparison to Gov. Walker’s expertise on all aspects of the LNG project, Dunleavy knows little about it. We must re-elect Gov. Walker. He is the most knowledgeable candidate on current state matters and is the only proven candidate to manage Alaska’s issues and opportunities over the next four years. Barbara McDaniel is a lifelong Alaskan who resides in Wasilla.

‘Unimaginable destruction’ By JAY REEVES and BRENDAN FARRINGTON Associated Press

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — The devastation inflicted by Hurricane Michael came into focus Thursday with rows upon rows of homes found smashed to pieces, and rescue crews began making their way into the stricken areas in hopes of accounting for hundreds of people who may have defied evacuation orders. At least two deaths were blamed on Michael, the most powerful hurricane to hit the continental U.S. in over 50 years, and it wasn’t done yet: Though reduced to a tropical storm, it brought flash flooding to North Carolina and Virginia, soaking areas still recovering from Hurricane Florence. Under a perfectly clear blue sky, families living along the Florida Panhandle emerged tentatively from darkened shelters and hotels to a perilous landscape of shattered homes and shopping centers, beeping security alarms, wailing sirens and hovering helicopters. Gov. Rick Scott said the Panhandle woke up to “unimaginable destruction.” “So many lives have been changed forever. So many families have lost everything,” he said. The full extent of Michael’s fury was only slowly becoming clear, with some of the hardest-hit areas difficult to reach because of roads blocked by debris or water. An 80-mile stretch of Interstate 10, the main east-west route along the Panhandle, was closed.

Some of the worst damage was in Mexico Beach, where the hurricane crashed ashore Wednesday as a Category 4 monster with 155 mph (250 kph) winds and a storm surge of 9 feet (2.7 meters). Video from a drone revealed widespread devastation across the town of about 1,000 people. Entire blocks of homes near the beach were obliterated, reduced to nothing but concrete slabs in the sand. Rows and rows of other homes were turned into piles of splintered lumber or were crumpled and slumped at odd angles. Entire roofs were torn away and dropped onto a road. Boats were tossed ashore like toys. A National Guard team got into Mexico Beach and found 20 survivors overnight, and more

crews were pushing into the area in the morning, with the fate of many residents unknown, authorities said. State officials said 285 people in Mexico Beach had refused to leave ahead of the hurricane despite a mandatory evacuation order. Mishelle McPherson and her ex-husband searched for the elderly mother of a friend. The woman lived in a small cinderblock house about 150 yards from the Gulf and thought she would be OK. Her home was reduced to crumbled cinderblocks and pieces of floor tile. “Aggy! Aggy!” McPherson yelled. The only sound that came back was the echo from the half-demolished building and the pounding of the surf.

“Do you think her body would be here? Do you think it would have floated away?” she asked. As she walked down the street, McPherson pointed out pieces of what had been the woman’s house: “That’s the blade from her ceiling fan. That’s her floor tile.” As thousands of National Guard troops, law enforcement officers and medical teams fanned out, the governor pleaded with people in the devastated areas to stay away for now because of fallen trees, power lines and other debris. “I know you just want to go home. You want to check on things and begin the recovery process,” Scott said. But “we have to make sure things are safe.”

Trump defends Saudi arms sales By MATTHEW PENNINGTON and CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump defended continuing huge sales of U.S. weapons to Saudi Arabia on Thursday despite rising pressure from lawmakers to punish the kingdom over the disappearance of a Saudi journalist who lived in the United States and is now feared dead. As senators pushed for sanctions under a human rights law and also questioned American support for the Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen, Trump appeared reluctant to rock the boat in a relationship that has been key to his strategy in the Middle East. He said withholding sales would hurt the U.S. economy. “I don’t like stopping massive amounts of money that’s been pouring into our country. They are spending 110 billion on military equipment,” Trump said, referring to proposed sales announced in May 2017 when he went to Saudi Arabia in the first overseas trip of his presidency. He warned that the Saudis could instead buy from Russia or China. Trump maintained that the U.S. is being “very tough” as it looks into the case of Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi leadership and a contributor to The Washington Post who has been missing since Oct. 2. He had entered a Saudi consulate in the Turkish city of Istanbul to get marriage paperwork as his fiancee waited outside and hasn’t been seen since. Turkish officials say they fear Saudi Arabia killed and dismembered Khashoggi but have offered no evidence beyond video footage of the journalist entering the consulate and the arrival in the country of what they describe as a 15-member Saudi team that allegedly targeted him. Saudi Arabia has denied the allegation as “baseless.” In Istanbul, Turkish media said that Saudi royal guards, intelligence officers, soldiers and an autopsy expert had been part of the team flown in and targeting Khashoggi. Those reported details, along with comments from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, appeared aimed at gradually pressuring Saudi Arabia to reveal what happened while also balancing a need to maintain Saudi investments in

Around the World Leading Brazilian candidate to skip 1st TV debate for runoff SAO PAULO — The front-runner in Brazil’s presidential runoff announced Wednesday that he will skip the first TV debate before the Oct. 28 election as he recovers from being stabbed. Doctors for far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro said he was not fit enough to participate in Thursday’s debate. He has skipped other debates since being stabbed at a Sept. 6 campaign rally before the opening round of the presidential contest. Bolsonaro, who left the hospital Sept. 29, won Sunday’s first round by getting 46 percent of the votes. He was followed by left-leaning Fernando Haddad at 29 percent, and they advanced to the runoff. Bolsonaro’s doctors said he will have another physical evaluation Oct. 18, and a decision will be made then on whether he will be able to show up at remaining debates. TV Band said later that it plans to host its presidential debate on Oct. 19. It is not mandatory for Brazilian presidential election candidates to participate in debates. Haddad told reporters that he would go to a hospital to debate Bolsonaro if needed. “He has to debate. I am willing to go to a hospital to debate him,” Haddad said. “He said he doesn’t want to be under stress. I will not stress him. I will speak in the calmest way possible. I won’t raise my voice. I won’t even look at him if that is something that worries him.” Bolsonaro, meanwhile, jabbed at Haddad on Twitter, calling him a “puppet of a jailed crook.” “Your time is coming,” the former army officer wrote to Haddad.

UN urges action on marking disputed Sudan-South Sudan border UNITED NATIONS — The Security Council voted unanimously Thursday to extend the U.N. peacekeeping force in the disputed Abyei region on the Sudan-South Sudan border for the last time unless both countries demonstrate “measurable progress” on marking their border. A resolution adopted by the U.N.’s most powerful body sets out seven specific measures that Sudan and South Sudan must take in the next six months for the force to remain, at a reduced level of just under 4,000 troops. Both Sudan and South Sudan claim ownership of the oil-rich Abyei area. The 2005 peace deal that led to South Sudan’s independence from its northern neighbor in 2011 required both sides to work out the final status of the oil-rich Abyei region, but it is still unresolved. The measures the council spelled out that Sudan and South Sudan must take include complete withdrawal by both countries from the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone, and a start to implementing a timeline for verifying the functioning of 10 border crossings and free movement across the border.

Turkey and relations on other issues. Trump, questioned by reporters at the White House, said, “If it turns out to be as bad as it might be, there are certainly other ways of handling this situation” besides canceling arms sales. He did not elaborate. He said earlier on “Fox & Friends” that “we have investigators over there and we’re working with Turkey” and with Saudi Arabia on the case, but he provided no evidence or elaboration. Meanwhile, there was a clear and growing disconnect between many in Congress, who want tougher action, and the president. Even before Khashoggi’s disappearance, lawmakers had soured on a Saudi government they view as having a highhanded attitude. Some have been incredulous at its denials of wrongdoing and contention it has no recorded video footage from the consulate showing Khashoggi, who had been living in self-exile in Virginia for the past year. “There’s a sense of entitlement, I hate to use the word, arrogance, that comes with dealing with them,” said Sen. Bob Corker, Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “Part of that may be that they have an incredibly close relationship with the administration.” Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy voiced doubt there would be support in Congress to approve another arms sale to Saudi

Arabia — although lawmakers haven’t blocked sales before. He also called for at least a temporary halt in U.S. military support for the Saudi bombing campaign against Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen. If Saudi Arabia is not telling the truth about Khashoggi, he told reporters, “why would we believe them that they are not intentionally hitting civilians inside Yemen?” Murphy was among seven senators who wrote to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday raising concerns over last month’s certification that a Saudi-led coalition was taking actions to protect civilians despite what the lawmakers described as a dramatic increase in deaths. The Trump administration, however, is heavily invested in the long-standing, U.S. relationship with Riyadh. It relies on Saudi support for its Middle East effort to counter Iranian influence and fight extremism. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has cultivated close ties with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and was instrumental in last year’s $110 billion arms package. Those associations could become a political liability if Prince Mohammed is implicated in Khashoggi’s disappearance. The Washington Post, citing anonymous American officials it said were familiar with U.S. intelligence, said the crown prince had previously ordered an operation to lure Khashoggi back to Saudi Arabia and detain him.

NEW YORK — Facebook says it has purged more than 800 U.S. pages and accounts for spamming users with garbage links and clickbait. Facebook accuses their backers of “coordinated inauthentic behavior” for setting up networks of pages and accounts designed to mislead users about who they are and what they’re doing. The social network says these accounts spread “sensational political content” designed to drive people to ad-laden websites outside Facebook. In the past, such spammers have often focused on celebrity gossip, weight loss remedies and fake iPhones. The turn toward politics suggests that spammers are learning from the Russian playbook on how to get people riled up and clicking. Facebook has been working to weed out misinformation and election meddling since it acknowledged that Russian agents abused its service in 2016. — The Associated Press

Seasons Change: From Death to Life Seasons change. Our glorious fall on the Kenai Peninsula was highlighted with amazing colors and warm weather. Now the daylight hours are getting shorter and there is a pronounced cold in the air. Darkness and the presence of termination dust on the mountains will confirm, “Winter is coming.” The change of seasons in fall reminds creation that there is a natural process of dying or shedding of life. Death is a mysterious, inevitable reality of life, which humanity cannot escape.

V oices of F aith F rank A lioto It is final. It is the last act. For loved ones, death is the end of relationship and grief and loss consume many. Throughout time people have wrestled with the finality of death and what happens next. In the Bible, a follower

of Jesus, Paul, wrote these words to a young church who were inquiring about what happens when someone dies. He wrote, “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14)

Paul uses the word “sleep in death” to describe what happens when someone dies. He explains that “those who have fallen asleep in him (Jesus)” will at some point be united with Jesus who is the resurrected Savior. Jesus conquered death and offers life to all who will follow him. In this relationship, people connected to Jesus will be forever with God in heaven. As Paul encourages those who are left behind after someone dies, notice the difference in how

people grieve someone’s passing: he says, “you do not need to grieve like the rest of mankind who have no hope.” Even when seasons change or we face death we can have hope, because of the work of Jesus. Death does change our human reality, but in Jesus there is hope and life eternal. Pastor Frank Alioto serves as a Chaplain with Central Peninsula Hospital and with Central Emergency Services.

‘Miracle’ woman says El Salvador’s Oscar Romero a saint By MARCOS ALEMAN Associated Press

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — A Salvadoran woman whose unexpected recovery from a life-threatening condition was deemed a miracle, paving the way for the upcoming canonization of the late Roman Catholic Archbishop Oscar Romero, said Friday she’s convinced he is a saint. Speaking days before a planned pilgrimage to the Vatican along with her husband and thousands of others, Cecilia Maribel Flores also expressed hopes of meeting Pope Francis, who earlier this year approved the miracle and de-

cided to elevate the martyred cleric to sainthood. “We know that Romero is a saint, a man of God, who as a pastor defended his flock, defended the poor, the most needy, the victims,” Flores said during a visit to the hospital chapel where 38 years ago Romero was felled by a gunman’s bullet while celebrating Mass. “What God has given me, I must share,” she added. Romero, already known to many as “Saint Romero of the Americas,” was beloved among the working class and poor for defending them against repression by the army. He was equally loathed by conservative sectors who

saw him as aligned with leftist causes as the country descended into a 19801992 civil war. Crucial to Romero’s canonization, scheduled for Oct. 14, was Francis’ approval of a miracle attributed to his intercession in Flores’ case. “If you believe in God or if you believe in anything, ask Him for your wife to be saved with a miracle” — that’s what a doctor told Alejandro Rivas in September 2015 after Flores, his wife, underwent an emergency cesarean section for their third child and was diagnosed with an infection that left her in a coma. Suffering from internal hemorrhag-

ing and with her kidneys on the verge of collapse, she was not expected to survive. “They had told me that she was dying and I had to figure out what to do,” Rivas recalled Friday, “what was going to happen with her and with my children.” Arriving back home he remembered his late grandmother had tried to instill in him her devotion to Romero, although it had never quite resonated for him. He asked his grandmother for help. Later he picked up her Bible and inside found a card with Romero’s image. Kneeling, Rivas prayed to Romero

for intervention. He slept, woke up in the morning and returned to the hospital, where a nurse had stunning news: Flores had begun to improve around 2 or 2:30 a.m., the same time he had made his prayer. “It left me frozen. I didn’t understand what was going on,” Rivas said. “Now I do understand, that it is an incredible miracle. Flores made a full recovery. Romero was previously beatified, a necessary step before canonization, in May 2015 in an emotional ceremony in the Salvadoran capital, San Salvador.

ept. 29 and 30 were not good days for me. On Sept. 29, I covered the 72-24 victory of the Soldotna football team over Kenai Central and wrote, headlined, Tweeted and Facebooked that the Stars scored on all nine possessions. Obviously, at least to those in command of elementary math, the Stars scored on all 10. On Sept. 30, I covered the Kenai River Marathon. In typing results, I misspelled the name of a former Clarion reporter and current columnist. She — while running the race — was able to calculate the steps she took in the half marathon, but I was not able to count the number of r’s in her last name correctly. To top it off, while putting together the sports page that night, I ran the Birch Ridge Golf Report meant for Sept. 24, not Oct. 1. Oops. One of my favorite sportswriters growing up in Wisconsin was Cliff Christl, the longtime Packers beat writer. He would always say there’s no excuse for errors in copy. That’s the case here. But as I get older and wearier, I worry less about perfection and more about passion. Hit the bull’seye every time and you’re not really trying. You’re not really learning. Clarion sportswriter Joey Klecka and I went for it that weekend. With state cross-country in Anchorage, Kenai-Soldotna football and Nikiski’s homecoming, a full sports slate would put 10 staff-written reports, plus photos, in the Sunday paper. Then I had to provide photos, story and type the results from the marathon Sunday. We could have done a less ambitious coverage plan, but we got out of our comfort zone in responding to the passion the community had for all the events that weekend. That’s when mistakes happen. It reminded me of a hike I did to the summit of 4,840-foot L V Ray Peak above Moose Pass recently. I’m no mountaineer, but I have a passion for walk-up summits. When I see a summit photo sent by a friend, posted on a blog or rolling on my Strava feed, I imagine myself there. I want to be there. Bad. That has its benefits. I’ll get my work done to get there. I’ll get my chores done to get there. I’ll go through 30 minutes to an hour daily of mobility work, vision work, vestibular work, meditation and respiratory competency to make sure my balky back can get me there.

The tale of the tape of the two teams matching up for the Alaska Division II state football crown tells two very different stories. In one corner is the upstart Eagle River Wolves, the traditional basement dwellers of Alaska football that have finally broken out and established themselves as serious contenders in 2018, 12 years after the school’s first varsity season. This is Eagle River’s first playoff appearance ever, and the seniorladen Wolves are determined to show everyone they mean business. “Eagle River has 22 seniors, and this is their last time playing,” said Soldotna senior center Cody Nye. “They have nothing to lose and everything to gain.”

Then there is the six-time reigning state champions of Division II, the Soldotna Stars. The team that has been there, done that. The Stars have won 10 total state titles in the last 12 years, and in that span have missed the state final only once (2011). The two teams face off Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at Palmer High School. SoHi head coach Galen Brantley Jr. said the 22 seniors that drive the Wolves core are not to be taken lightly. In their regular season meeting, the Wolves laid the first points of the game on the Stars after putting up a defensive stand early on SoHi, a game that SoHi eventually took control of in a 55-19 win. “Eagle River has taken some big steps this year,” Brantley Jr. said. “They’ve beaten (crosstown rival) Chugiak, and they want to take it a step further.” The SoHi offensive line features three veteran starters in Nye, guard Brennan Werner and tackle

Levi Benner. The trio are all second-year starters on the O-line, but also have spent all four years of high school in the SoHi football program. They make up a line that also includes tight ends Galen Brantley III and Zach Hanson, guard Trenton Walden and tackle Lucas Kline. After the Week 5 meeting, Werner made it clear that the Stars can’t let Eagle River get off to a fast start again, especially with a state championship on the line. “We need to start fast, we can’t ease up,” Werner said during a midweek practice. “If the other team scores first it’s big motivation.” The Stars are no stranger to facing an early hole. Just last week in the state semifinals, the Palmer Moose grabbed an early lead on a broken play by Soldotna on their first possession of the game, takSee STARS, page A9

Nikiski tops Kenai By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Nikiski volleyball team overcame a large Killing Cancer on the Kenai crowd Thursday at Kenai Central to notch a 25-16, 26-24, 25-12 Southcentral Conference win over the Kardinals. The Killing Cancer on the Kenai event included a silent auction, soup feed, balloon pop and competition between the Kenai and Nikiski fire departments, and Kenai Central football team and Kenai River Brown Bears. All the proceeds went to the Central Peninsula Health Foundation to help local families battling with cancer. Kardinals coach Tracie Beck also said her squad got a talk about prevention and how to self-check, which is important because, statistically, four of the girls on the team will come down with breast cancer. Kenai Central is usually a loud gym, and the event drew even more people. “I knew it was going to be loud, especially with all the extra people in the gym,” Nikiski coach Stacey Segura said after moving to 6-1 in the league and 7-1 overall. “I tried to prepare my girls as best I could. “I told them to laugh off any mistakes and not dwell on them, because Kenai Central’s Kailey Hamilton and Lexi Reis go up for a block on Nikiski’s with the crowd Kenai’s momentum Tika Zimmerman on Thursday at Kenai Central High School.

ny Carstens, who is on a trip looking at a college for basketball, Nikiski’s experience was able to carry the day. “It’s not that we lost to a shoddy team, they’re awesome,” Beck said after falling to 5-4 overall and 3-3 in the league. “Stacey has done so well building that program. They’re tough to beat.” Kaitlyn Johnson, who Segura said was player of the match, and Kelsey Clark provided the base for the steady play. Johnson had 12 assists, seven aces and four kills while also serving Nikiski to a 15-0 lead in Game 3. Clark provided 12 digs. “She’s always a steady player,” Segura said. “She’s never overly excited or upset.” The only game where Nikiski was in danger was the second game. The Bulldogs came back to tie it at 22, then Kaycee Bostic, who finished with 12 blocks and two kills, did her best Carstens impression by putting down kills to get three of Nikiki’s last four points. “When we pass well, we put it down,” Beck said. “We did a lot of good things that game, but we couldn’t finish.” Also for Nikiski, Emma Wik had eight assists and two blocks, while Savannah Lay and Lillian Carstens had four kills apiece.

Boucher: A player you only like if he’s yours Brown Bears defenseman helps his squad in physical and mental game By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The antics. The chirping. The hard and heavy play in the corners. Every hockey fan knows the type. The player the opposition can’t stand but also the player everybody associated with his own team loves. That’s JJ Boucher, a defenseman for the Kenai River Brown Bears. “He was the most hated guy in the CCHL last season,” Bears head coach Josh Petrich said of Boucher’s two-season stint with the Kanata Lasers of the Junior A Central Canada Hockey League. “We picked him up for a reason.” That reason has been apparent all season. Bouch-

er set the tone when he was named the Midwest Division Star of the Week after a season-opening sweep of the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets in midSeptember. Boucher had four assists and was plus-four in that sweep, but Petrich said what doesn’t show up on stats is how Boucher affects the mental game. “There’s a mental battle as well as a physical skill battle,” Petrich said. “JJ brings a lot to the mental battle. “He’ll let you know he’ll hit you every time you get the puck. He’ll let you know he’ll step up and stand up for all of his teammates. Suddenly, forwards are not going as hard and physical and there’s time and space opening up.” Boucher is the son of Tom Boucher and Caroline

Maynard of Ottawa, Ontario. JJ is not sure where his pugnacious brand of hockey came from, but he said it’s definitely not from his parents. “I have two younger brothers and I did a lot of beating on them growing up,” Boucher said. “I’m sure some of it also comes from box lacrosse.” Like most Canadian kids, Boucher was skating and had a hockey stick in his hand by age 5. Throughout his hockey career, though, he has taken the summers off to play box lacrosse, a sport that takes place in a hockey rink without the ice. Each team has five field players and a goalie. “You can cross-check and slash as much as you want,” Boucher said. “It’s a savage sport. There’s no wimps playing it.” See BEARS, page A9

When 2 cottonwood mix on peninsula

he natural landscapes of the Kenai Peninsula host about 60 percent of Alaska tree species, but when it comes to Populus, we have it all. Three species in this genus occur in Alaska and on the Kenai, quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), balsam cottonwood (P. balsamifera) and black cottonwood (P. trichocarpa). Populus trees are deciduous, meaning they have broad leaves that are lost each winter. Young trees have smooth bark. Aspen are easily distinguishable from the cottonwoods. The species name, tremuloides, alludes to the unique qualities of the leaves. Aspen leaves are round and thin, yet slightly stiff. The stems are flattened. A slight breeze will cause the entire tree to tremble or quake. The bark tends to remain smooth as the tree ages. Aspen can send out clone shoots and form large stands that are interconnected by a huge root system. Pie charts depict the hybrid score of cottonwood trees.

More often, they are considered separate species because of geographic separation. Balsam cottonwood is distributed across the boreal forest of Interior Alaska. Black cottonwood runs along the coasts through Southeast Alaska up to the Kenai. Balsam and black cottonwood also have genetic differences. Genetic evidence linked to information about each species’ ecological niche supports the hypothesis that balsam and black cottonwood diverged about 75,000 years ago in the

late Pleistocene. At that time, ice rapidly expanded and the ancestors of these two species appear to have been geographically separated. Now that the ice has retreated, their distributions have expanded and touch along the margins. Balsam and black cottonwood can hybridize in the regions where they meet, such as the Kenai Peninsula. In the 1970s, Leslie Viereck and Joan Foote collected cottonwood flowers in Alaska to map and describe the hybrid zone. They created a key to score if a flower was pure balsam, pure black or a hybrid. Cottonwood trees are either male or female. Each cottonproducing catkin on a female tree consists of many small flowers. Balsam flowers are oval-shaped, leathery and split into two pieces (have two carpels) to release the seeds. Black cottonwood flowers are round, hairy and split into three or four parts, hence the name trichocarpa. Viereck and Foote coarsely mapped the western lowlands of the Kenai to be a hybrid zone and the eastern side of the Ke-

nai Mountains to be within the range of black cottonwood. This summer, I collected catkins from nearly 200 trees across the Kenai to get a more detailed understanding of what and where cottonwoods currently occur. The map (available in full collor at peninsulaclarion.com) shows pie charts of the hybrid scores of trees for each location I sampled. Within a stand, balsam and black individuals can be sideby-side with hybrids. Cottonwood pollen is wind-borne, so I expected that balsam and black trees would have no problem mixing together. From my samples, the Kenai Lowlands north of Tustumena Lake tended to have balsam and hybrids transitioning to hybrids and black cottonwood south of Tustumena around Ninilchik. Seward tended to have black cottonwoods and hybrids. This pattern aligns with the distribution of the coastal rainforest biome (black cottonwood) and the boreal biome (balsam) that meet around the Kenai Mountains.

The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge has a congressionally mandated purpose “to conserve fish and wildlife populations and habitats in their natural diversity.” Biological diversity is an important theme in conservation. Aldo Leopold, the father of game management, believed our land ethic as natural resource managers should include “keeping every cog in the wheel.” He believed it was crucial for “intelligent tinkering” because we may not understand how each species contributes to the whole ecosystem or how each species may contribute as

My hope is the diversity we have here on the Kenai will help our landscape be resilient and adaptive long into the future.

Wasilla volleyball stops SoHi in 5 By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Big play after big play punctuated the action Thursday night inside the Soldotna High School gym as the SoHi volleyball team lost in agonizing fashion to the Wasilla Warriors in a tightly contested Northern Lights Conference battle. Good thing they have a rematch set for Saturday. The Warriors prevailed in the five-set epic with winning scores of 25-20, 21-25, 27-25, 12-25 and 16-14, keeping their undefeated conference season alive at 5-0. The Stars dropped to 5-2 in conference play. “We’re looking forward to Saturday,” said Soldotna head coach Sheila Kupferschmid. “It’s a big match for us and my kids will be ready.” The two programs meet again Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at SoHi. Many momentum-changing points were won in the battle at the net, which became a power war between Wasilla’s one-two punch of senior middle hitter Cheyenne Green and senior outside Aleks Kvalheim, and the SoHi trio of outside hitter Ituau Tuisaula and middle hitters Bailey Leach and Aliann Schmidt. Tuisaula finished with 10 kills, Leach had 12 and Schmidt had eight. Kupferschmid praised the efforts of her hitters — including Schmidt, who Kupferschmid said had one the best games

of her prep career — but said Wasilla was a tad more consistent on the floor. “We’re disappointed to lose on our home floor, Wasilla put up a good fight,” she said. “There were times they broke down, but they were more consistent that last set.” Schmidt added eight aces, eight blocks and 18 points won, and Kupferschmid also said setter Holleigh Jaime played well, along with Carsen Brown, who provided 41 assists. Wasilla took a 2-1 match lead but couldn’t come close to clinching the night as SoHi pummeled the Warriors in the fourth set 25-12 to force a winner-take-all set. Warriors head coach Katie Oxspring said after that dud, her team was able to close out with laser focus on defense. “We lost that fourth game terribly,” Oxspring said. “We gave them all 25 points. We were not ready to play. “But in Game 5 they were fighting for every point and they eliminated errors. We just left the floor happy with the results.” Prior to the fifth set, the Stars avoided elimination with a dominating fourth set. SoHi scored the first seven points en route to an 8-1 lead before Wasilla called timeout, thanks to a suffocating block set by Schmidt, Brittani Blossom and Leach. Wasilla rallied back with six See FIVE, page A9

Today is Friday, Oct. 12, the 285th day of 2018. There are 80 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 12, 1973, President Richard Nixon nominated House minority leader Gerald R. Ford of Michigan to succeed Spiro T. Agnew as vice president. On this date: In 1492 (according to the Old Style calendar), Christopher Columbus’ expedition arrived in the present-day Bahamas. In 1792, the first recorded U.S. celebration of Columbus Day was held to mark the tricentennial of Christopher Columbus’ landing. In 1870, General Robert E. Lee died in Lexington, Va., at age 63. In 1942, during World War II, American naval forces defeated the Japanese in the Battle of Cape Esperance. Attorney General Francis Biddle announced during a Columbus Day celebration at Carnegie Hall in New York that Italian nationals in the United States would no longer be considered enemy aliens. In 1971, the rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar” opened at the Mark Hellinger Theatre on Broadway. In 1984, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher escaped an attempt on her life when an Irish Republican Army bomb exploded at a hotel in Brighton, England, killing five people. In 1986, the superpower meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland, ended in stalemate, with President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev unable to agree on arms control or a date for a full-fledged summit in the United States. In 1997, singer John Denver was killed in the crash of his privately built aircraft in Monterey Bay, California; he was 53. In 2000, 17 sailors were killed in a suicide bomb attack on the destroyer USS Cole in Yemen. In 2001, NBC announced that an assistant to anchorman Tom Brokaw had contracted the skin form of anthrax after opening a “threatening” letter to her boss containing powder. In 2002, bombs blamed on al-Qaida-linked militants destroyed a nightclub on the Indonesian island of Bali, killing 202 people, including 88 Australians and seven Americans. In 2007, Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the Nobel Peace Prize for sounding the alarm over global warming. Ten years ago: Global finance ministers meeting in Washington kept searching for ways to tackle the unfolding financial crisis; in Paris, nations in Europe’s single-currency zone agreed to temporarily guarantee bank refinancing and pledged to prevent bank failures. North Korea said it would resume dismantling its main nuclear facilities, hours after the United States removed the communist country from a list of states that sponsored terrorism. A Soyuz spacecraft carrying Richard Garriott, the sixth paying space traveler, along with another American and a Russian crew member lifted off from Kazakhstan for the international space station. The Arizona Cardinals became the first team in NFL history to block a punt to score the winning TD in overtime in their 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Five years ago: Cyclone Phailin struck the east coast of India, destroying hundreds of thousands of homes and causing hundreds of millions of dollars in crop damage; some four dozen people are believed to have died. Belgian authorities nabbed alleged pirate kingpin Mohamed Abdi Hassan on his arrival in Brussels (he’d been lured from Somalia with promises of work on a documentary about piracy). Anibal Sanchez and four Detroit Tigers relievers came within two outs of the first combined no-hitter in postseason history, striking out 17 to beat the Boston Red Sox 1-0 in the AL championship series opener. The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 for a 2-0 lead in the NL championship series. One year ago: The Trump administration said it would “immediately” halt payments to insurers under the Obama-era health care law. President Donald Trump lashed out at hurricane-devastated Puerto Rico, saying the federal government can’t keep sending help “forever” and suggesting that the U.S. territory was to blame for its financial struggles.

Jets seeking revenge By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Kenai River Brown Bears head coach Josh Petrich saw something recently on the NHL Network that struck a chord. “It said in the NHL good teams play hard every shift, but great teams play hard for each other every shift,” Petrich said as his squad prepares for 7:30 p.m. games Friday and Saturday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex against the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets. The sentiment brought Petrich to the waning moments of Friday’s 4-0 victory over the Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel at the sports complex. The Steel were clearly beaten. Team is important, but it’s also no secret players are in the league to get Division I scholarships. Why not go out of system and try to pad the stats a little? “With five minutes to go, the chatter on the bench was, ‘Let’s get the shutout for Gavin,’” Petrich said of goalie Gavin Enright. “(Zach) Krajnik told the young guys that when they got the puck, get it deep and get to work. “Those are messages the coaching staff has been preach-

. . . Bears Continued from page A7

Boucher also doesn’t know where he got his penchant for running his mouth. “I’ve definitely been chirping for a while,” he said. “I started young.” The North American Hockey League is the second-best junior league in the United States. One thing Boucher definitely didn’t start young at was playing at the top levels of the sport. He said he played Tier II hockey until about the age of 14, when he was picked up by an AAA team. The next step in his career came with a scary incident. The summer of his junior year in high school, Boucher was playing box lacrosse and was taken hard into the boards from behind. “As soon as it happened, I couldn’t feel my legs and arms, and my skin started to burn,” Boucher said. “My buddies came and asked if I was OK, and I couldn’t get up.” Boucher said the hour ride to the hospital was the scariest of his life due to all the questions lingering in the air. It turned out he had fractured two vertebrae in his neck and would be walking within two days. He also would need four to five months of recovery. “All I could think about was the negative, but my parents told me everything happens for a reason,” Boucher said. “Something good came out of it.” Boucher remade his body in those four months and made the Lasers, where he honed the style of play that would make him so attractive to the Bears. “I was the top-hated guy by every team,” he said. “It’s nice to hear. I want to be a player that nobody wants to play against, but that all the boys want on their team.

ing, but now the players are starting to preach it.” The shutout, the first in 2 1-2 years for Enright, was a major reason he earned the North American Hockey League Midwest Division Star of the Week. “They knew I wanted the shutout,” Enright said after the game. “I fought for them and they fought for me. That’s what we have this year.” The Bears enter the Jets series at 7-3-0-0, good for first place in the Midwest. The Jets are 5-5-0-0, fresh off a split in Fairbanks against the Ice Dogs. Kenai River ruined Janesville’s home-opening weekend on Sept. 14 and 15 with 5-2 and 7-3 victories. “They’re gonna have a lot of hate,” Petrich said of the Jets. “They’re not happy with what we did on their home-opening weekend and they’re going to want to repay us on home ice.” Petrich said the Jets have added three players from the United States Hockey League, the top junior league in the country, since the last time the two clubs faced off. The Jets have a tradition of excellence under Gary Shuchuk and assistant Corey Leivermann. “I definitely like it gritty.” At 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, Boucher uses attitude more than size. “I’m not a big kid,” he said. “I don’t have huge muscles. But I’m a psychopath when it comes to going into the corners.” This summer, Boucher was at a camp for the Fargo (North Dakota) Force of the United States Hockey League. Bears forward Michael Spethmann and former Bears assistant Nick Sova were also there. Kenai River was in dire need of left-handed defensemen, so Spethmann immediately told Petrich that Boucher would be a great fit. Just 30 minutes later, Sova did the same. But Boucher and his family weren’t so sure. Ottawa is a city of almost a million people, while the population of the central Kenai Peninsula is measured in the thousands. Also, the Bears had one of the worst records in the league for four seasons running. “I told them, ‘Hey guys, I’m going to draft you,’” Petrich said. “I only ask that you come to main camp and get to know us.” Boucher said getting taken in the first round, third overall, definitely made a former Tier II player feel good. By the third day of main camp, Boucher had made up his mind. “The kid looked at me and said, ‘Coach, I’m in. I’m excited. I like the way you do stuff,’” Petrich said. “That was a cool day for me.” Boucher said he is probably the biggest city boy on the team. He also recognized the NAHL was a better place for him than the CCHL. He said he gets more exposure in the NAHL. He also said getting away from his friends and a place where the drinking age is 18 has helped him bring a singular focus to the goal of getting a Division I scholarship. Boucher, the billet son of Keith and Melissa Roumell of Kenai, also likes the atten-

“They’re very well-coached by Gary and Corey, and they have veteran players with good leadership,” Petrich said. “We have to be ready for two hard games.” Petrich said he loved the way all of his lines contributed to wearing down the Steel physically and mentally. He said he received a text from a Bears fan that made him smile. “It basically said that Brown Bears fans don’t expect the team to win every home game, but they do expect every team wants to run out of the door because they’re tired of physically being beaten up,” Petrich said. “That’s a good way to sum it up.” This will be breast cancer weekend, with jersey auctions between periods. Petrich said his mother-in-law battled breast cancer last year. Alana Letizia, wife of Johnstown (Pennsylvania) Tomahawks head coach Mike Letizia, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. “I talked to the boys and said we’re here to play hockey but we’re also here to learn life lessons,” Petrich said. “There’s not one kid who doesn’t have a family member or a family friend in a fight with cancer.”

ing advantage of a missed assignment to break off a long touchdown run in the first quarter. Soldotna, in its typical pound-the-rock style, rallied back to score the next 41 points en route to the blowout win, but it served as an important reminder to take nothing for granted. Brantley Jr. said the team reserved one hour of practice time in the Anchorage Dome facility for Friday, a time that he hopes to see the team come together one last time before facing the hungry Wolves. “We have a lot of kids playing in their first state title game too,” Brantley Jr. pointed out. “So it’s about who takes control, and we want to make sure tion the Bears get on the cen- we do everything right.” tral peninsula because there is no NHL team around.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. “When I coached against (AP) — Breathe a little easier Sean Muller, I hated him every Philadelphia and surrounding game,” Petrich said. “He’d hit areas. The Eagles are back and you, run his mouth and tell you looking super. to shut up. Soon, as a coach, Just goes to show you what you’re just focusing on him and a little urgency, some big plays forgetting about the other four — and a timely game against guys.” the New York Giants can do Petrich said Boucher also leads by example and leads in practice. “We had a couple of rookies that came in pretty soft,” Boucher said. “I had to let them know that wasn’t going to work in this league.” In order to get to the next level, Petrich said Boucher must become more consistent at things like retrieving pucks and passing. He also needs to take his fitness up a notch. The coach also said Boucher needs to take his antics up to the line, and not over it. “That was one of my flaws last year — going over the line,” Boucher said. “This year when JP taps me on the shoulder and lets me know the ref gave me a warning, I’m listening.” But the most important thing Boucher can do is help the Bears keep winning. “College coaches need to win,” Petrich said. “That’s why they go to the programs that are winning and find out what pieces are letting them win.”

In Game 2, Beck said at one point three of the six players on the floor were freshmen, with freshman Erin Koziczkowski doing a good job filling in due to illness.

A state championship would be one of the crowning achievements of Eagle River’s prep sports history, which dates back to 2005. The team’s softball program won a state title in its first year (spring 2006), and have traditionally flaunted a talented cheer squad, but have little else to show for it in major team sports. The Wolves football program has seen many tough years, including consecutive winless campaigns in 2014 and 2015. This Eagle River team, however, is different. The senior class grew up together through tough years and are now reaping the rewards of hard work and lessons learned. Quarterback Ryan Adkins leads a big and tall group of offensive stars, including receivers Quinard Cox — whose long touchdown reception in the final minute of last week’s semifinal over Palmer left the Wolves

with a thrilling 30-24 win — and Bryson Rollman, whose one-handed highlight reel TD catch over Chugiak in Week 7 made ESPN’s Monday Night Football pregame show. As much motivation as the Wolves have as they target their first football championship, the Stars bring their own fuel to light as well. SoHi’s state-record 59-game win streak came to a crashing halt in Week 1 with a gameending touchdown by the West Anchorage Eagles on SoHi’s home field. Benner said that loss only served to light a fire under the Stars, which have won eight straight since that opening week disappointment. “None of us liked losing that game,” Benner said. “But it really motivated us to put forth more effort. It made us come back and fix the mistakes. “I feel pretty confident now, it’s our job to focus on the field and be confident.”

junior Serena Foglia capped it with a serving ace to force a fifth set. Tuisaula got the party started in the final game with a pair of kills, then teamed up with Schmidt to put the Stars ahead 11-10. That would be the last lead they held, however, as three straight hitting errors by SoHi gave Wasilla the lead at 13-11. The Warriors committed two mistakes of their own to help

SoHi tie it at 13 apiece. Wasilla had two match point opportunities, first on a missed serve by Schmidt, then on a hitting point from Kvalheim. A point won from the outside by Tuisaula staved off the Warriors once, but Wasilla secured the match win when a ball sent by setter Kaitlyn Cook was not returned by the Stars. “It was very intense, and SoHi’s a really good team,” Oxspring said.

Eagles blow past Giants for the defending Super Bowl champions. Carson Wentz threw a season-high three touchdown passes and the Eagles got an early lift from their defense and special teams in beating the struggling Giants 34-13 on Thursday night, avoiding their

first three-game losing streak since the 2016 season. “It’s a big win for us,” said Wentz, who finished 26 of 36 for 278 yards and no interceptions. “NFC East and the conference. It’s huge. Being 3-3 is better than 2-4. This is more like who we are. We can build from this.”

Crossword

Tattoo with ex-wife’s name is an annoyance to girlfriend He recently proposed to her in a public place in front of his family. I don’t think he knows the real her, and I don’t think she understands the serious implications of her decision to marry him when sexual intimacy was so important to her before. She once told me she would not marry a man without first having sex with him, and that a sexless life is her biggest fear. I feel Abigail Van Buren I should speak up as her best friend. Should I? -- SEEING RED FLAGS IN GEORGIA DEAR SEEING: Yes. And when you do, urge her to get into premarital counseling with her fiance. During the sessions, matters like sex, finances and child-rearing should be discussed so there won’t be any “surprises” later. Repeat your suggestion, if necessary, until she reaches the altar. Let’s hope she listens to you because his fatigue and bad back won’t magically disappear after they say “I do.” DEAR ABBY: A little backstory before my ques-

tion. I am 39 and the mother of three beautiful daughters, ages 18, 12 and 8. I am getting a divorce. It’s an amicable one (thank goodness), and my girls are doing pretty OK with the news. During this last year, I graduated with my AA degree. I am very proud of the achievement, but have never had a celebration. Would it be in bad taste to have a housewarming, graduation and almost-40 birthday party (my birthday is on a major holiday, and my friends are usually busy doing other things that night) and ask for gifts for my new house and the girls’ bedrooms? -- CELEBRATING IN IDAHO DEAR CELEBRATING: A party would be wonderful because you have much to celebrate. Send invitations describing it as a “housewarming, graduation celebration and 40th birthday party,” but do NOT mention gifts on the invitation. If someone asks about it, feel free to tell the person. But to ask for gifts on an invitation is a no-no. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Oct. 12, 2018 This year you open up to new adventures. Your willingness to let go and take a leap into the unknown marks your year. You gain vitality and a more authentic life. If you are single, your inclination might be to play the field. Recognize that the person you choose to be with today might not be the person you choose in three months. If you are attached, your significant other might be shocked by your choices, but he or she will see a happier person as a result. At that point, your sense of connection will strengthen. SAGITTARIUS often pushes you to take risks. 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 Your strength might be tested early on. Others seem to be, and probably are, demanding more than they should. As you have your boundaries tested, review why they are established. Your mind frees up to viewing this matter from a new perspective. Tonight: Do what you need to do. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could feel unable to honor another person’s request. Give it a shot, and let the party know where you are coming from. You discover that working as a team is far more powerful than working alone. You need to say little at this point. Tonight: Stay present in the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might not want as much information as someone decides to give you. Fatigue shapes up as a major issue or defense mecha-

Rubes

nism, especially if you’re pushed too hard. You might need some distance to renew your enthusiasm about life. Tonight: Accept an exciting invitation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You’ve been on a roll, yet at this time you need to catch up on a myriad of details. Don’t make a big deal out of this matter. Just make a list and complete it the best way you know how. For some of you, this list could carry you into the weekend. Tonight: Join a pal for dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ve maintained remarkable self-restraint when dealing with a roommate or family member. You decide to let go and worry less. You leap into a much happier mindset, ready to take off at the drop of a hat. If you can, call it early. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You’ve given 100 percent of your energy to a certain project and to keeping communication flourishing. Your efforts certainly stand out, even if you don’t like the results. You could be ready to cocoon a bit, or to deal with a domestic matter that has been on hold. Tonight: Order in. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Keep a conversation going, and don’t shy away from what is being said. Sometimes you might not like what you hear, but that doesn’t mean you need to close down. Do not become punitive. Work with a present situation; it will change soon enough. Tonight: Go out with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Curb a need to be possessive. Sometimes you experience intense jealousy. Know your limits.

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

Understand what is impossible to accomplish. You cannot control anyone but yourself. Let others decide how much they want to give. Tonight: Lie low, at least for a little while. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might be overthinking a situation, replaying it over and over in your head. You could feel as if you are finally getting somewhere. You need to be more spontaneous. What you achieve will be better as a result. Tonight: Others greet your impulsiveness with a smile. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might need to slow down and keep an eye on recent gains. You’ve expressed yourself in a tumultuous way. You need some time to consolidate recent gains before you head into another high-energy period. Play this weekend lowkey. Tonight: Out among the crowds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Your sense of direction and a need to experience a new situation drive you to join a group of friends. As open as you are to change, the need to have more security in other areas of your life is deep. Listen to what a loved one has to say. Tonight: Start the weekend with a celebration. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You could be overly tired from staying on top of some pending changes. You might be eyeing a trip or signing up for a workshop. What you will find out is that a change in how you view issues can eradicate the problem altogether. Tonight: Open up to different styles. BORN TODAY Actor Josh Hutcherson (1992), actor Hugh Jackman (1968), comedian Dick Gregory (1932)

IT’S ALWAYS LISTENING Dear Heloise: We have a digital assistant, which is a voice-directed device. Once you activate this device with your wake-up word, remember that it’s always listening. (It has to in order to function.) When you talk, it sends data into the cloud, where it could possibly be hacked. Yes, there are privacy settings, including turning off the microphone, which defeats the purpose of having one. -- Jason D., Amherst, Ohio HOSPICE VS. PALLIATIVE CARE Dear Heloise: What is the difference between hospice and palliative care? Or is there any difference? -- Nanette B., Hammond, La. Hospice care is generally provided for patients at the end of their lives, or when doctors believe a patient has six months or less to live and if the illness has run its natural course. Palliative care involves a team of medical personnel who will work closely with the patient’s doctor to help come up with a special plan to provide relief from the symptoms of a severe illness, regardless of the diagnosis. Palliative care can start with the first diagnosis or late in the diagnosis. Hospice and palliative care are often confused because medical care organizations usually offer both. -- Heloise THREE MAJOR LESSONS Dear Heloise: I’ve made three major discoveries in my life over the span of a 22-year marriage: * Life will never go according to plan. No matter how carefully you set down your goals and plans, things will come up out of the blue that you never expected. Learn to roll with it. * A partner/spouse should act like a partner. This may not always be 50/50, but no matter what, you should not do it all. A healthy relationship works best on a giveand-take basis. * You’re not unusual -- no one has it all figured out, and no one has a perfect life. -- Mia G., Bonners Ferry, Idaho

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend is divorced. His ex’s name is tattooed on his arm. Although I don’t like it, I realize that it was long ago and before I came into the picture. As we have grown closer over the last two years, I’m often tempted to ask him to have it removed or covered up. I think it’s tacky, and I don’t like it AT ALL. I know I can’t demand he remove it, but would a gentle request do? Or should I wait until I have more of a formal status in his life? -- LOOKING AWAY IN THE SOUTH DEAR LOOKING AWAY: Tattoo removal isn’t as easy as waving a magic wand and presto! -- it’s gone. The process can take several sessions, can be quite painful, and it must be done by a professional. If this is so important to you that you would put him through that, then ask him nicely. When you do it is up to you. You could jokingly ask him to have a circle with a diagonal line through it added to his ex’s name. DEAR ABBY: My best friend of 25 years just got engaged. I suspect her fiance is gay or there’s something seriously wrong with him. They have been dating for eight months and he hasn’t once tried to have sex with her. He has used every excuse under the sun as to why (bad back, tired, etc.).
