In the news

Rocket launch planned at Kodiak’s Spaceport KODIAK (AP) — California-based Astra Space Inc. has scheduled a commercial rocket launch at the Pacific Spaceport Complex on Kodiak Island.

Notices from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Alaska Aerospace Corporation indicate the launch is planned for Friday with backup dates scheduled through Oct. 16, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Tuesday.

The notices don’t name the company behind the launch, but other government filings name Astra Space, which is licensed for a suborbital flight of its “Rocket 1” vehicle.

“I can only verify it’s the same company that launched last time,” Alaska Aerospace Corporation CEO Craig Campbell said.

The private space company conducted a test launch at the spaceport in July that was terminated 21 seconds into the rocket’s flight. The rocket was terminated before it reached its suborbital destination, but the launch was still considered successful, Campbell said. A suborbital flight is used for testing and does not travel into space.

“They got a whole bunch of data and a lot of good information from this launch, but it didn’t complete its full cycle,” Campbell said in July.

The company based in Alameda, California, also considered the launch successful.

“The launch exceeded our minimum success criteria,” the company said after the launch. “Our team, customers and investors are all thrilled with the outcome.”

A company representative said in July that it was planning a second test launch in Kodiak. The first launch was canceled multiple times before occurring in July.

That launch was also the first that the Alaska Aerospace Corporation facilitated for a private spaceflight company. It had handled nearly 20 launches for the federal government since the complex opened in 1998.

Governor hopefuls visit Soldotna

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Alaska’s three candidates for governor met at Wednesday’s joint chamber luncheon to discuss issues affecting Alaska and the peninsula.

The conference room at the Soldotna Sports Center was packed tight as former U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, Gov. Bill Walker and former state Sen. Mike Dunleavy gave their opening remarks.

Begich, who was born and raised in Anchorage, told the crowd he is in the election to focus on the future of Alaska.

He said he wants to focus on creating opportunity and keeping young people in Alaska.

Walker focused his opener on the Alaska Liquefied Natural Gas project, which he said was a major opportunity for Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula. He said he doesn’t always make popular decisions, but that he makes them for the future of Alaska.

Dunleavy said Alaska is a magical place, which is what brought him up here in 1983.

He said Alaska is full of opportunities, but people in the state have run out of optimism, good policies and leadership.

The first question for the candidates asked how they felt using Permanent Fund Dividend earnings to balance the budget.

Walker said there was no so-

lution that didn’t involve using earnings to balance.

“It has got to be part of it,” Walker said. “It’s what’s allowed us to be only 30 percent

dependent on oil, not 90 percent.”

Dunleavy said using the earnings now is part of the solution moving forward. He said

the way it was done before was that isn’t broke,” Dunleavy the wrong thing to do at the said. “Our spending needs to be time, and that the people should contained.” have been engaged.

Fairbanks police release Kenai Peninsula video of fatal shooting unemployment at 9 percent

By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

Two weeks after the Alaska Department of Law declined to criminally charge the Fairbanks Police Department in the shooting death of 20-yearold Cody Eyre, the department has released an annotated video showing what officers saw on the night Eyre was killed.

In a press conference Wednesday afternoon that was broadcast on Facebook Live, Fairbanks Police Chief Eric Jewkes showed the graphic and profane scene that took place on Christmas Eve 2017 when Eyre, depressed, walked with a gun down one of Fairbanks’ major highways.

Eyre, a Thunder Mountain High School graduate, was raised in Juneau, and members

An update to the peninsula’s unemployment rate was announced at Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting.

Tim Dillon, executive director of the Kenai Peninsula Economic Development Inc., said the area’s unemployment rate is 9 percent. He was optimistic and said that many retail stores are hiring to prepare for the busy holiday shopping season.

“Home Depot is hiring.

Walmart is hiring. Fred Meyer is hiring — a lot of those kinds of places,” Dillon said.

He said driving schools have seen a rise in people try-

Volunteers with Kachemak Crane Watch on Monday morning rescued an injured sandhill crane colt from Beluga Slough.

After being taken to the Bird Treatment and Learning Center in Anchorage, the colt had to be euthanized on Tuesday because of a broken wing that couldn’t be treated.

The young crane and its parents had been staying in the slough past the migration of most of the Kachemak Bay sandhill crane flock last month. The parents left on Saturday, Oct. 6, and

volunteers were able to capture the young crane on Monday. The crane was taken to Bird TLC, a nonprofit that treats and rehabilitates injured birds and educates people about wild birds and their habitat.

In a phone interview on Monday, Crane Watch co-founder Nina Faust said the colt might have a broken or dislocated shoulder.

“We’re keeping our fingers crossed and hoping they can do something for it,” she said.

That turned out not to be the case after Bird TLC staff examined the colt.

Hurricane Michael slams into Florida, charges into Southeast

By JAY REEVES and BRENDAN FARRINGTON Associated Press

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Hurricane Michael slammed into the Florida Panhandle with terrifying winds of 155 mph Wednesday, splintering homes and submerging neighborhoods before continuing its destructive charge inland across the Southeast. It was the most powerful hurricane to hit the continental U.S. in nearly 50 years and at least one death was reported during its passage.

Supercharged by abnormally warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Category 4 storm crashed ashore in the early afternoon near Mexico Beach, a tourist town about midway along the Panhandle, a 200-mile (320-kilometer) stretch of white-sand beach resorts, fishing towns and military bases.

After it ravaged the Panhandle, Michael barreled into south Georgia as a Category 3 hurricane — the most powerful ever recorded for that part of the neighboring state. It later weakened to a Category 1 hurricane, and there were reports it spawned possible tornadoes in central Georgia.

In north Florida, Michael battered the shoreline with sideways rain, powerful gusts and crashing waves, swamping streets and docks, flattening trees, shredding awnings and peeling away shingles.

It set off transformer explosions and knocked out power to more than 388,000 homes and businesses.

A Panhandle man was killed by a tree that toppled on a home, Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Anglie Hightower said. But she added emergency crews trying to reach the home were hampered by downed trees and debris blocking roadways. The man wasn’t imme-

diately identified.

Damage in Panama City was extensive, with broken and uprooted trees and power lines down nearly everywhere. Roofs were peeled off and homes split open by fallen trees. Twisted street signs lay on the ground. Residents emerged in the early evening to assess damage when rains stopped, though skies were still overcast and windy.

Vance Beu, 29, was staying with his mother at her apartment, Spring Gate Apartments, a small complex of single-story wood frame apartment buildings. A pine tree punched a hole in their roof and he said the roar of the storm sounded like a jet engine as the winds accelerated. Their ears even popped as the barometric pressure dropped.

“It was terrifying, honestly. There was a lot of noise.

We thought the windows were going to break at any time.

We had the inside windows kind of barricaded in with mattresses,” Beu said.

Kaylee O’Brien was crying as she sorted through the remains of the apartment she shared with three roommates at Whispering Pines apartments, where the smell of broken pine trees was thick in the air. Four pine trees had crashed through the roof of her apartment, nearly hitting two people. Her 1-year-old Siamese cat, Molly, was missing.

“We haven’t seen her since the tree hit the den. She’s my baby,” O’Brien said, her face wet with tears.

In Apalachicola, Sally Crown rode out the storm in her house. The worst damage — she thought — was in her yard. Multiple trees were down. But after the storm passed, she drove to check on the cafe she manages and saw breathtaking destruction.

“It’s absolutely horrendous. Catastrophic,” Crown said. “There’s flooding. Boats on the highway. A house on the highway. Houses that have been there forever are just shattered.”

Gov. Rick Scott announced soon after the powerful eye had swept inland that “aggressive” search and rescue efforts would get underway as conditions allow. He urged people to stay off debris-littered roads.

“If you and your family made it through the storm safely, the worst thing you could do now is act foolishly,” he said.

Michael was a meteorological brute that sprang quickly from a weekend tropical depression, going from a Category 2 on Tuesday to a Category 4 by the time it came ashore. It was the most powerful hurricane on record to hit the Panhandle.

More than 375,000 people up and down the Gulf Coast were urged to evacuate as Michael closed in. But the fast-moving, fast-strengthening storm didn’t give people much time to prepare, and emergency authorities lamented that many ignored the warnings and seemed to think they could ride it out.

“It was an old compound fracture. The bone protruded through the skin,” Amy Kilshaw, Bird TLC rehabilitation coordinator, said on Wednesday.

Because the colt couldn’t extend its wing, it would not be able to fly and couldn’t be eventually released, she said. The colt was part of a crane family that breeds and nests at the southern end of Beluga Slough near the Beluga Lake Lodge. Faust said three families traditionally nest in the slough, with one pair by Beluga Lake Lodge, one by the boardwalk and one by Public Works. Former Homer City Council member David Lewis said he had seen a colt crash into a guardrail late in September. Faust said the colt kept crashing into things while learning to fly. It was the third injured colt reported to Kachemak Crane Watch this breeding season. Two other colts had to be euthanized because of the severity of their injuries, including one colt mauled by loose dogs.

Though they migrated late, the parents of the colt should be OK, Faust said. She got a recent report of sandhill cranes gathering in the Matanuska-Susitna River valley,

so the Homer cranes will probably connect with other stragglers. Cranes gather together waiting for optimal flying conditions of a northwest tail wind.

We must find a way to stop sexual assault The confirmation hearings for

Judge Brett Kavanaugh have brought the issue of sexual assault back to center stage of our nation’s discourse. National media attention is certain to move past Judge Kavanaugh in the near future, but the issue of sexual assault is not going away because it remains rampant. The #MeToo movement is far from over.

Sexual assault can be difficult to discuss. The issue might make you feel uncomfortable. It may seem inappropriate. However, that is no reason to sweep this issue, or the assault survivor’s story, under the rug.

Alaska has a sexual assault problem and the state’s reputation regarding it isn’t unwarranted. The most recent Alaska Victimization Survey was in 2011. According to that survey, 3 in 10 women in the Fairbanks North Star Borough had experienced sexual violence in their lifetime. If you know 10 women here in the borough, three of them have been sexually assaulted, possibly more than that. Let that sink in.

Last week, Barbara Johnson, a graduate student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, wrote a Community Perspective, published in the Daily News-Miner on Oct. 1, in which she stated plainly why this issue cannot be ignored by this community: “I do not have the luxury of ignoring this reality.

As a woman, like many of my friends, I know too many men who carelessly see our bodies as tools for their pleasure. Who discount our personhood, who think grabbing us, fondling us, exposing themselves to us is funny. Who perpetrate these violations without acknowledging what they are, who even likely think of themselves as nice guys. Who are considered nice guys.

“And I am mad. I am mad that my friends and I have a never-ending stream of stories of times we felt and were uncomfortable, unsafe, forced to do things against our will. I am mad that every woman does something in her everyday life to try and feel safe. And I am mad that our experiences and stories are consistently denigrated, questioned and ignored,” she wrote.

All this begs the question: What is to be done moving forward? It’s worth discussing.

What can our state legislators do to combat sexual assault? Gov. Bill Walker recently announced he would introduce legislation requiring sex offenders from other states who move to Alaska to register here. This is a good example of legislation that could cut down on offenses by making people aware of past offenders. What other legislation might remedy this situation?

Are we allocating enough crime-fighting resources toward this problem?

Could anything be done in the schools? Should the concept of sexual consent be a required topic in sex education?

What could be done in our homes? Is there a conversation you should be having with your teenagers about sexual assault?

It’s long been known that sexual assault is a problem in Alaska. But people are becoming more vocal about it,and leaders in different institutions throughout the state would be remiss to ignore it. Let’s hope Alaskans can take a serious look at this problem and start implementing solutions.

The left’s foolhardy attack on the Senate

Democrats suffered a stinging loss in the fight over Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, and have concluded that the constitutional system is to blame.

You see, if only the Founders hadn’t forged the Great Compromise between large states and small states at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, giving each state equal representation in the U.S. Senate, they would have defeated Brett Kavanaugh handily. It’s only because smaller red states have two senators just like larger blue states that the judge got confirmed.

For the left, the U.S. Senate is now looming, together with the Electoral College and the Supreme Court, as an institution of villainy in American life. In the words of Vox, the Senate is “a grotesquely unrepresentative body.” ThinkProgress deems it “an immoral, anti-democratic institution.”

One reason Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne calls the ascension of Kavanaugh to the high court “a coup” is that he was “confirmed by senators representing 44 percent of the population.”

Democrats have gone from bragging about their permanent majority a few years ago to complaining it’s impossible for them to win under the governing regime that we’ve had for more than 200 years, since it’s so tilted toward “minority rule.”

It’s certainly true that the Senate is not fully democratic and gives an outsized role to small states, since this was the price they exacted for signing on to the Constitution. This arrangement isn’t a conspiracy against the left.

53 representatives; Wyoming has one. Yet Democrats don’t control the House, either.

The root of the problem is that Democrats, who threw all in with an urban-oriented “coalition of the ascendant” beginning in 2008, don’t have much appeal to the middle of the country anymore. As recently as 2010, both senators from North Dakota were Democrats, and back in 2004, both senators from South Dakota were Democrats. The disenchantment with the Senate is a function of the left’s preference for coastal rule. It wants California to have the whip hand in our national life. But why should Los Angeles and San Francisco have an outsized role in governing distant, rural parts of the country, with which they have no sympathy?

Fundamentally remaking the Senate is a fantasy, regardless. The Constitution says the arrangement is unamendable, stipulating in Article 5 setting out the amendment process that “no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.” Even if this language can be struck by amendment anyway, it would require the assent of some smaller states that wouldn’t be enamored with reducing their own relative power so California can have more.

Rather than cursing the design of the Senate, Democrats would be better-served simply winning Senate elections, a cause they materially harmed with their fevered attack on Brett Kavanaugh.

Senate Dems lose health care vote, hope it’s campaign fodder

By ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Days after ending a turbulent Supreme Court confirmation fight, the Senate turned back to health care — with a battle squarely aimed at coloring next month’s crucial elections for control of Congress.

In a return to its characteristically more unruffled mode of work, the Senate on Wednesday rejected a Democratic attempt to stop President Donald Trump from expanding access to short-term health care plans, which offer lower costs but skimpier coverage. It was clear Democrats would lose, and a real victory was never feasible since the measure would have died anyway in the Republican-run House.

But by pushing ahead, Democrats made Republicans cast a health care vote — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Oct. 7 that Democrats could wield in campaign ads for next month’s midterm elections, in which they hope to topple the GOP’s 51-49 Senate majority. The vote was also aimed at refocusing people away from the Senate’s nasty battle over confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, which E-mail: both sides say has transformed indifferent news@peninsulaclarion.com conservative voters into motivated ones — Write: Fax: for now.

Peninsula Clarion 907-283-3299 Wednesday’s vote was about showing P.O. Box 3009 Questions? Call: whether Congress will “allow insurance Kenai, AK 99611 907-283-7551 companies to scam Americans with cutrate health insurance,” said Senate Mi-

Letters to the Editor:

Yes, Wyoming, population 560,000 in the 2010 census, cancels out California, population 37 million, with two Republican senators to the Golden State’s two Democrats. But Vermont, population Rich Lowry 630,000, cancels out the two Republicans from Texas, population 25 million, with a Democrat and a socialist.

Gross population disparities aren’t anything new. In 1790, shortly after the ratification of the Constitution, Virginia had 747,160 people, Delaware 59,096. The gap between the largest and smallest state got bigger. In 1900, New York had 7,268,894 people, and Nevada all of 42,335. The republic survived.

The design of the Senate recognizes the status of the states as real governing entities with their own prerogatives under the Constitution. Like the equally hated Electoral College, the Senate ensures that flyover country isn’t ignored. It reflects the dizzying geographic diversity of a continental nation and promotes national cohesion by giving every corner of it a voice.

The Senate also is meant to be a check on the unbridled popular will. Its members are elected in staggered six-year terms, and, originally, they were selected by state legislatures, not in a direct vote. The House is the more democratic body. California has

nority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “I wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of that vote.”

Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado insisted it was actually the Democrats who had done themselves no favors with the vote.

“Look, if they want to take away people’s health insurance and that’s what they’re campaigning on for the next several weeks, I think it’s a losing strategy,” said Gardner, who heads the Senate GOP’s campaign organization.

Using regulations, Trump has moved to let people buy short-term insurance that could last one year — and up to three years if renewed. President Barack Obama’s health care law, which Trump and Republicans have weakened but failed to repeal, created more limited versions of those plans, lasting up to just three months. The policies are for people who don’t get coverage at work.

The administration says premiums for the new short-term plans will be around one-third the cost of comprehensive coverage that Obama’s law requires. Republicans have promoted them as a low-cost option for strapped consumers after years of steadily rising premiums, which they blame on Obama’s law, and GOP candidates will be happy to use Wednesday’s vote to make that point.

“It’s not surprising that Senate Democrats are fighting to take away people’s choices on health care, to drive up premiums,” said

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who’s facing a surprisingly robust re-election challenge from Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke.

Unlike Obama’s statute, the new policies don’t require coverage for people with preexisting conditions. The government has estimated those people number from 50 million to 130 million, making them a potent political talking point for Democrats. The short-term insurance also doesn’t have to cover a menu of services like prescription drugs and could cap beneficiaries’ benefits.

Democrats call the plans “junk insurance” because, they say, the policies will leave unwary consumers purchasing dangerously meager packages.

“Anyone who supports coverage for people with pre-existing conditions should oppose Trump’s “expansion of these junk insurance plans,” said Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., who is running for re-election and introduced the Democratic measure.

On its face, Wednesday’s fight was over repealing Trump’s new rules. But practically speaking, it served to renew attention on the overall issue of health care, which polling shows ranks at the top of the public’s priorities and has been a major concern for voters for over a decade.

It also comes as campaign operatives assess whether the Kavanaugh battle will overshadow what has been shaping up as a voters’ referendum on Trump, colored by candidates’ views on health care and the economy.

Canada prepares for legalized marijuana

By GENE JOHNSON and ROB GILLIES Associated Press

DELTA, British Columbia — Mat Beren and his friends used to drive by the vast greenhouses of southern British Columbia and joke about how much weed they could grow there.

Years later, it’s no joke. The tomato and pepper plants that once filled some of those greenhouses have been replaced with a new cash crop: marijuana.

Beren and other formerly illicit growers are helping cultivate it.

The buyers no longer are unlawful dealers or dubious medical dispensaries; it’s the Canadian government.

On Oct. 17, Canada becomes the second and largest country with a legal national marijuana marketplace. Uruguay launched legal sales last year, after several years of planning.

It’s a profound social shift promised by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and fueled by a desire to bring the black market into a regulated, taxed system after nearly a century of prohibition.

It also stands in contrast to the United States, where the federal government outlaws marijuana while most states allow medical or recreational use for people 21 and older.

Canada’s national approach has allowed for unfettered industry banking, inter-province ship-

ments of cannabis, online ordering, postal delivery and billions of dollars in investment; national prohibition in the U.S. has stifled greater industry expansion there.

Hannah Hetzer, who tracks international marijuana policy for the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance, called Canada’s move “extremely significant,” given that about 25 countries have already legalized the medical use of marijuana or decriminalized possession of small amounts of pot. A few, including Mexico, have ex-

pressed an interest in regulating recreational use.

“It’s going to change the global debate on drug policy,” she said. “There’s no other country immediately considering legalizing the nonmedical use of cannabis, but I think Canada will provide almost the permission for other countries to move forward.”

At least 109 legal pot shops are expected to open across the nation of 37 million people next Wednesday, with many more to come, according to an Associated Press survey of the provinc-

es. For now, they’ll offer dried flower, capsules, tinctures and seeds, with sales of marijuanainfused foods and concentrates expected to begin next year.

The provinces are tasked with overseeing marijuana distribution. For some, including British Columbia and Alberta, that means buying cannabis from licensed producers, storing it in warehouses and then shipping it to retail shops and online customers. Others, like Newfoundland, are having growers ship directly to stores or through the mail.

Trump ‘demanding’ answers from Saudis

By MATTHEW PENNINGTON Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Wednesday the U.S. is “demanding” answers from Saudi Arabia about the disappearance of a well-known Saudi writer and government critic Turkish authorities say was slain inside his country’s diplomatic mission in Istanbul.

Trump said he plans to invite to the White House the fiancée of Jamal Khashoggi, a writer for The Washington Post who has not been seen since he entered the Saudi consulate on Oct. 2 to get paperwork for his marriage.

Members of Congress have grown increasingly insistent that the administration find out what happened to Khashoggi.

The Saudi government has become a closer ally under Trump and some lawmakers warn that relations could be jeopardized if it turns out the kingdom was involved in his disappearance.

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he has a call in to the fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, who had been waiting outside the consulate when Khashoggi went inside and has appealed to the president and first lady Melania Trump for help.

Trump said nobody knows

exactly what happened and expressed hope that Khashoggi is not dead. He also said he had spoken with the Saudis about what he called a “bad situation,” but he did not disclose details of his conversations.

Saudi Arabia denies involvement in the disappearance of Khashoggi, a former insider in Saudi government circles who has been living in self-imposed exile in the U.S. for the past year after fleeing a crackdown on intellectuals and activists in the country.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said White House national security adviser John Bolton and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner spoke on Tuesday to Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about Khashoggi. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo then had a follow-up call with the crown prince to reiterate the U.S. request for information.

While angry members of Congress likely won’t cause the administration to turn away from Prince Mohammed and end decades of close security ties with Saudi Arabia, they could throw a wrench into arms sales that require their approval and demand the U.S. scale back support for the Saudi military

LATHAM, N.Y. — A limousine service operator was charged Wednesday with criminally negligent homicide in a crash that killed 20 people, while police continued investigating what caused the wreck and whether anyone else will face charges.

The operator’s lawyer said that the man wasn’t guilty and that police were rushing to judgment.

The company, Prestige Limousine, has come under intense scrutiny since Saturday’s crash outside Albany killed two pedestrians and 18 people in a superstretch limo.

Prestige Limousine operator Nauman Hussain hired a driver who shouldn’t have been behind the wheel of such a car, and the vehicle shouldn’t have been driven after state inspectors deemed it “unserviceable” last month, State Police Superintendent George Beach said at a news conference.

“The sole responsibility for that motor vehicle being on the road on Saturday rests with Nauman Hussain,” Beach said, though he noted that investi-

gators continue looking into whether anyone else should be held accountable.

As Hussain, 28, awaited arraignment, his lawyer, Lee Kindlon, said his client handled only marketing duties and phone calls, while his father ran the company, though police called Hussain its operator.

“My client is not guilty,” Kindlon said. “The police jumped the gun in charging him with any crime.”

Under New York law, criminally negligent homicide involves not perceiving a substantial, unjustifiable risk that leads to someone’s death. It’s punishable by up to four years in prison.

Police charged Hussain with a single count involving all 20 victims. He was arrested Wednesday in a traffic stop on a highway near Albany.

Hussain has had a brush with law enforcement before.

State police accused him and his brother of claiming each other’s names after a 2014 traffic stop, which happened while the brother was driving without a valid license.

Their father, Prestige Limousine owner Shahed Hussain, also has a history with law enforcement — as a government infor-

LOYGA, Russia — As the recipient of Russia’s highest award, Alexander Mishkin is the pride of his home village, his photo even decorating a local school.

Several residents of this remote village located amid marshlands and deep forests in the northwestern Arkhangelsk region easily recognized him in photos Wednesday as one of two men accused by British officials of poisoning a former Russian spy.

But, to them he is just a warm-hearted local boy, a “Hero of Russia” who has made a successful career as a military doctor thanks to his hard work and courage.

“He studied at school here,” said Yuri Poroshin, an amateur painter who lives in Loyga. “His picture even hangs on the wall there because he’s a Hero of Russia.”

Poroshin said he heard that Mishkin received Russia’s highest medal for saving the life of his commanding officer during fighting with Islamist rebels in Chechnya.

According to British police, two agents of Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency, traveling under the aliases Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, used the Soviet-made nerve agent Novichok to poison former Russian doubleagent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in the English city of Salisbury in March.

This week, the investigative group Bellingcat identified Petrov as Dr. Alexander Mishkin, a GRU agent who had received Russia’s highest award. Previously the group had uncovered the real identity of Boshirov, determining that he is GRU Col. Anatoly Chepiga.

Bellingcat, which based its probe on passport information, residents’ databases, car registration documents and phone records, determined that the 39-year-old Mishkin grew up in Loyga before moving to St. Petersburg, where he studied medicine at the elite Kirov Military Medical Academy.

Some Loyga residents corroborated that account, confirming that Mishkin was trained as a military doctor.

They said he continued to visit Loyga, where his 90-yearold grandmother, a respected local general practitioner, still lives.

Poroshin’s wife, Valentina Poroshina, fondly remembers Mishkin, whom she last spoke to on a train four years ago.

“He was a good boy,” she said. “He was very polite.”

Poroshin also immediately recognized Mishkin when shown the photos released by British police. “Yes, that’s him. He looks like his dad and grandmother,” he said.

The Poroshins’ granddaughter, Yulia, said that Mishkin was lauded as a role model at her school. “We even have a portfolio on him,” the sixth-grader said.

Several other villagers also recognized Mishkin but wouldn’t talk about him further.

However, village manager Svetlana Lukina denied the man in the photos was Mishkin, saying she didn’t recognize him.

“People are looking for something to entertain themselves with,” Lukina said nervously after being shown the pictures by an Associated Press reporter. “They make it all up out of nothing. His family hasn’t lived here for a long time. It’s all rumors and hearsay.”

campaign against Iran-backed rebels in Yemen.

Republican Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said “there will definitely be consequences” if it turns out the Saudis were involved in Khashoggi disappearance. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said it would be “devastating” to the U.S.-Saudi relationship.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn, said if Saudi Arabia had lured a U.S. resident into a consulate and killed him, “it’s time for the United States to rethink our

military, political and economic relationship with Saudi Arabia.” But he said it was unclear whether the Trump administration was willing to “go beyond words.”

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a longtime critic of the Saudi government, said he’ll try to force a vote in the Senate this week blocking U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia. He told local radio in his home state Tuesday that he wants to end the arms shipments if there’s “any indication” the Saudis are “implicated in killing this journalist that was critical of them.”

Limousine service operator charged in crash

By MICHAEL HILL and JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press

Around the World

mant in terror plot investigations after the Sept. 11 attacks.

In Saturday’s crash, a 19-seater Prestige limo ran a stop sign and plowed into a parked SUV at the bottom of a long hill in Schoharie, about 25 miles west of Albany. The crash appeared to be the nation’s deadliest traffic accident since a bus full of Texas nursing home patients caught fire while fleeing 2005’s Hurricane Rita, killing 23.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that the limo driver didn’t have the required commercial license, and that Prestige Limousine “had no business putting a failed vehicle on the road.”

The limo had been written up Sept. 4 for code violations, including a problem with the antilock brakes’ malfunction indicator system.

A sticker was placed on the vehicle declaring it “unserviceable,” state Department of Transportation spokesman Joseph Morrissey said.

It was the latest in a series of inspection knocks for the Gansevoort, New York-based company. Four of its limos were cited this year with a total of 22 maintenance violations, though none was deemed critical.

Kindlon told CBS News on Tuesday the “safety issues had

been addressed and corrected,” saying many were minor. But Morrissey said any assertion that the limo involved in the crash had been cleared for service was “categorically false.”

Kindlon said he didn’t think the infractions contributed to the crash. He suggested the driver, who died in the crash, might have misjudged his momentum on the hill.

The T-intersection at the bottom was a known danger spot, Kindlon noted. It was rebuilt after a deadly 2008 wreck, but there have since been other accidents at the junction.

“I think, frankly, the Department of Transportation and the state of New York is doing a great job in saying, ‘Look over there! It’s not our fault!’” Kindlon said, suggesting the state “faces an incredible amount of liability if they’re found to be at fault.”

The limo’s driver, Scott Lisinicchia, had been told he didn’t have the proper license to drive it during an Aug. 25 traffic stop, state police said Wednesday. They said a trooper issued violations, advised that Lisinicchia couldn’t drive the limo and “took steps to ensure that the vehicle was taken off the road.”

Caps prevail in Stanley Cup rematch with Knights

By STEPHEN WHYNO AP Hockey Writer

WASHINGTON — Evgeny Kuznetsov is dancing with the puck and celebrating when it’s in the net just like last June.

Kuznetsov continued his wizardry against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday night, scoring a goal and assisting on three more as part of a 5-2 Washington Capitals victory in a rematch of last season’s Stanley Cup Final.

Kuznetsov assisted on two goals by Alex Ovechkin and one by Nicklas Backstrom and scored his own on the power play. The leading scorer in the Cup Final with eight points in five games, Kuznetsov has seven points through the defending champions’ first three games of the regular season.

“If you play with the good players, you’re always gonna get points,” Kuznetsov said after one of the best all-around games of his career. “It’s just about have fun every night you go out there. If you don’t have fun and you don’t want to enjoy, you don’t want to play hockey, you should be retired. But you can see we always have fun.”

The Capitals are having plenty of fun right now with the franchise’s Stanley Cup banner in the rafters and almost

the same team back. Perhaps most importantly, they still have Kuznetsov and Ovechkin, whose sublime chemistry from the playoffs was again on display against the Golden Knights.

“He knows when to pass, he knows when to shoot,” said Ovechkin, who has four goals in three games. “Sometimes he try to make crazy pass. You think, ‘What’s he doing?’ But he have his own mind. ... You just have to be ready at any second.”

The 610th and 611th goals of Ovechkin’s career put him in sole possession of 17th on the NHL’s career list, passing Bobby Hull. Kuznetsov pointed out that Ovechkin passes someone every 10 games or so and joked, “That’s a free meal for me.”

Braden Holtby, who made “the save” with his stick in Game 2 of the Final, stopped 29 of 31 shots and bailed out his teammates during an especially sloppy second period. Holtby allowed goals to Cody Eakin in the second period and Reilly Smith in the third.

“We’ve played against them enough to know that they’re going to come at some point,” Holtby said. “It’s a matter of keeping your cool and not getting frustrated. You need a couple big plays, be it blocks or

saves or guys getting the puck out.”

Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, who wanted to start this game instead of facing his former team in Pittsburgh on Thursday night, allowed four goals on 28 shots.

“I think just a few mistakes here there, including myself and guys in our defensive zone maybe,” Fleury said. “But if we clean that up, we’ll be in good shape.”

His teammates hit the post a handful of times and went 0 for 3 on the power play and are 0 for 11 so far this season. The Golden Knights fell to 1-3-0 at the beginning of their second season a year after starting 8-20.

COYOTES 3, DUCKS 2, SO ANAHEIM, Calif. — Nick Cousins scored in the shootout, Antti Raanta made 23 saves and the Coyotes earned their first win of the season.

Dylan Strome and Brad Richardson scored for Arizona (1-2), which dropped its first 11 games last season.

The Coyotes got their first goal this season when Strome converted a power-play opportunity with 2 1/2 minutes left in the first. They were the last NHL team to score.

Anaheim was trying for the first 4-0 start in franchise history. Ryan

Maxime Lajoie also had two goals and an assist for the Senators, who were playing the first of a fivegame homestand.

Yankees in danger of decade without World Series appearance

By RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK — The Yankees are in danger of going an entire decade without reaching a World Series for the first time since the 1910s.

Aaron Boone’s rookie season as a manager ended in failure when New York fizzled in the AL Division Series against Boston and was eliminated in four games.

“You’re always chasing utopia,” Boone said after the Yankees’ final rally of the season fell short Tuesday night.

A year after losing in the AL Championship Series was perceived as success, elimination by Boston left a feeling of failure for the title-worshipping Yankees.

New York went 100-62 for its best record since its last World Series championship in 2009, yet finished eight games back of the Red Sox. The Yankees have gone six straight seasons without a first-place finish.

They’re set to retool around the

young core of Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Gleyber Torres, Miguel Andujar and Luis Severino, plus in-prime regulars Giancarlo Stanton, Didi Gregorius and Aaron Hicks. The Yankees got the power but were plagued by inconsistent production on nights the long ball was lacking.

New York drove in 432 of its 851 runs on homers, at 50.8 the highest percentage in the major leagues, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

The Yankees also were 10-21 when failing to homer, according to Sports Info Solutions.

While they set a big league record with 267 home runs, they were 16th in batting average at .249, eighth in onbase percentage at .329 and tied for 25th in stolen bases with 63. They also were eighth in strikeouts, topped by Stanton’s career-high 211 and Judge’s 152 in two-thirds of a season.

“The collection happens to be home runs and strikeout versus home runs along with contact and high averages,” general manager Brian Cashman said last month.

Johnson splits with longtime crew chief

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There will not be an eighth NASCAR title for Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus.

Hendrick Motorsports will split the driver and crew chief — the longest pairing in NASCAR — at the end of a disappointing season. Johnson has not won a race in 17 months and was knocked out of the playoffs in the first round. Johnson and Knaus won their record-tying seventh championship in 2016 but have slumped in the two years since.

“It’s no secret that Chad and Jimmie have experienced their ups and downs over the years,” owner Rick Hendrick said. “They’re fierce competitors, great friends and have immense respect for one another.

They also fight like brothers.

All three of us agree it’s finally time for new challenges and that a change will benefit them and the organization.”

Johnson and Knaus were partnered in 2002 when Knaus built the No. 48 team as part of a Hendrick expansion. They won a record-tying seven titles and made the playoffs in all 15 years of its existence.

There has sometimes been tension between the two, and Hendrick more than once considered splitting them for the good of the organization. The time finally came Wednesday in a personnel shakeup announced by the rebuilding organization.

“Chad and Jimmie will go down as one of the greatest combinations in sports history,” Hendrick said. “They defied the odds by performing at a championship level for longer than anyone could’ve possibly imagined.”

Winter passes on at 96 MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Tex Winter, the innovative “Triangle Offense” pioneer who assisted Phil Jackson on NBA championship teams with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, has died. He was 96.

Winter’s family said he died Wednesday in Manhattan, where he began his coaching career at Kansas State in 1947 and led the Wildcats to two Final Fours and eight Big Seven/ Eight titles as head coach from

1954-68.

“I learned so much from Coach Winter. He was a pioneer and a true student of the game,” Michael Jordan said in a statement emailed to the Chicago Tribune. “His triangle offense was a huge part of our six championships with the Bulls.

He was a tireless worker. Tex was always focused on details and preparation and a great teacher. I was lucky to play for him. My condolences to his family.”

First up will be a decision on New York’s $12.5 million option on 35-year-old outfielder Brett Gardner, who has been with the Yankees big league team since 2008.

“Got a lot of young guys in this room. The future is bright,” he said.

If the Yankees choose to pay a $2 million buyout and let Gardner go, Andujar could be moved from third base — where his range is limited — to the outfield. That would open third base for Manny Machado, one of the premier players on the free-agent market along with Bryce Harper.

And with Gregorius and Hicks eligible for free agency after the 2019 season, it would not be surprising if the Yankees trade the shortstop, outfielder or both when they are coming off superb seasons.

First base remains the position most in flux. Luke Voit was obtained from St. Louis in July and took over from Greg Bird, who returned in mid-May following foot surgery and couldn’t shake what became a puzzling seasonlong slump.

And catcher remains a concern because of Sanchez’s season-long struggles, both offensively and defensively.

Cashman’s priority is likely to be pitching, and Dallas Keuchel and Patrick Corbin are among the free agent options. Yankees starters averaged 5 1/3 innings, 18th in the majors, according to Sports Info.

Only Severino and Tanaka appear assured of rotation spots among the current group. Left-hander CC Sabathia is set to become a free agent again at age 38, and he didn’t get an out in the seventh inning during the second half of the season.

“We’ve got a lot of talent, and I want to be a part of seeing this thing through, because it’s going to go through,” he said.

J.A. Happ, a lefty obtained in July, will be 36 this month but could be offered a chance to stay. He was 7-0 down the stretch but lost the opener against the Red Sox. Righty Lance Lynn, also acquired in the summer, is also a free agent but probably will move on. Sonny Gray, flustered by the

intensity of impatient and passionate fans, likely would be better off if he is traded to a smaller market.

Given likely injuries, New York probably will want at least eight starting pitchers able to fill the five slots.

Right-handers Jonathan Loaisiga, Chance Adams, Domingo German and Luis Cessa are internal candidates along with left-hander Justus Sheffield.

Relievers David Robertson and Zach Britton also are set to become free agents, and New York might try to re-sign one or both to remain in a formidable bullpen headed by Aroldis Chapman and Dellin Betances.

Outfielder Andrew McCutchen also is set to go on the market along with infielders Neil Walker and Adeiny Hechavarria.

“We’re chasing the perfect offense,” Boone said. “Unfortunately, it wasn’t good enough, and we’ll continue to work at getting to that point where we’re as complete in every department as we can be: offensively, pitching, defense.”

Pigskin Pick‘em NFL week 6 begins with battle of NFC “Least” teams

R

emember when it was called the NFC Beast? Now, it’s a pussy cat.

Washington leads the division at 2-2, followed by Dallas and Philadelphia at 2-3, New York at 1-4. The Giants host the Eagles — the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles, who have looked anything but title worthy so far — on Thursday night.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson has cited “self-inflicted wounds” as a major reason for injury-riddled Philly’s struggles. His offensive coordinator, Mike Groh, concurs.

“We obviously don’t condone those kinds of mistakes,” Groh says. “The guys that are responsible for that, we’ve talked to those guys. Those things can’t happen. I mean, they just can’t happen. That’s simple football.

We’ve got to get out of the huddle, we’ve got to get lined up, and we’ve got to know where we’re supposed to be and what our assignment is. We’ve got to do a better job collectively of teaching that, and then when we get out there, everybody has to know what to do and where to line up. Those things have to be eliminated.”

The Giants eliminated a lot of those things at Carolina last Sunday and made an impressive comeback, only to fall on Graham Gano’s 63-yard field

goal with 1 second remaining.

SEAHAWKS, 25-20 “These guys love to play the game, it’s their livelihood, but they certainly ro icks No. 8 Chicago (minus 3) at play it with great emotion and great No. 17 Miami passion and they just keep playing,” Bears favored on road? Dolphins coach Pat Shurmur says.

B arry W ilner should have won last week, will this “As we get better — I think we week. played better last week — we need DOLPHINS, 19-17 to find 63 more yards somewhere to No. 1 Los Angeles Rams (minus 7) get the win. But we played better and at No. 25 Denver we’ve got to continue on that path.

No. 29 Indianapolis (plus 2) at NFL’s most talented roster keeps Then eventually it will crack.”

Undefeated Rams still looking to improve run defense

By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.

— Although the Los Angeles Rams have few areas of major concern after their impressive 5-0 start, Aaron Donald thinks their rushing defense is something that needs fixing on this smoothly running machine.

The All-Pro defensive tackle intends to make sure they repair it.

The Rams are a modest 18th in the league in yards rushing allowed, giving up 106.8 per game — and a whopping 5.0 yards per carry, fourth-worst in the NFL. Last weekend, the Seahawks racked up 190 yards on the ground during the Rams’

33-31 comeback victory in Seattle.

The Rams are headed to snowy Denver on Sunday for a date with the Broncos’ No. 3-ranked rushing offense, which has piled up 137 yards per game. To Donald, the job is clear.

“We need to stop the run,” Donald said Wednesday.

“Don’t even worry about getting after the quarterback. Our main job this week is to stop the run. They’ve got a strong running game. If we do that, then we’ll get after the quarterback.”

The Seahawks gouged the Rams’ defensive front for 5.9 yards per carry, boosted by a handful of big plays that were

aided by defensive mistakes.

The Los Angeles Chargers also had major success on the ground against the Rams last month, rushing for 7.1 yards per carry.

The Rams have been comfortably ahead on the scoreboard for much of the season, limiting their opponents’ ability to use the run game. But

Donald realizes the Rams can’t count on their highoctane offense to get them out of work in the defensive trenches.

It nearly cost the Rams in Seattle, but Los Angeles’ offense scored the game’s final nine points, and the defense shut out the Seahawks in the fourth quarter.

. . . Gov Continued from page A1

Begich said he would take it out of the hands of the legislature.

“When you leave it in the hands of the legislature they will debate and argue about how big the dividend will be,” Begich said. “They will debate this issue and not the issues affecting Alaska.”

When it comes to the governor’s role in advising federal agencies on the endangered animal species act, and the designation of Cook Inlet belugas, both Begich and Walker expressed the need to support protections of belugas.

Begich also said it is important to recognize that politicians are not scientists, and it is the governor’s role to provide good scientific research when needed.

Dunleavy said balance is important when it comes to working with fellow delegations on endangered species designations.

“We’re not going to sacrifice the economic future of Cook Inlet, and this area, for an overkill, or over designation that may not suit the needs of the time,” Dunleavy said. “There has to be a balance.”

All of the candidates said they agreed with the opening of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge when it came to the recent federal tax reform. Begich said it was a problem that the reform offers relief for corporate entities, but not individuals.

Both Walker and Dunleavy said the opening of the Arc-

. . . Death Continued from page A1

that he was preparing a wrongful-death lawsuit on behalf of the family, and he confirmed Wednesday that he is still preparing that case.

“I know this is difficult and it seems like an eternity sometimes … but I do believe we worked diligently to be forthright and honest,” Jewkes said about the release of the video.

Choate said the video, which includes multiple sources of video and the audio from a microphone worn by an Alaska State Trooper, was “selectively edited,” and he wants to see the unedited copies and make sure the Eyre family has complete information.

“It’s more than disappointing for the family that the troopers had withheld producing any information to the family until right before the press conference and had only provided select information and a story intended to convince the public that the officers did no wrong when everything

tic National Wildlife Refuge would be a benefit for Alaska.

Addressing Alaska’s growing homelessness issue, the candidates said a better economy and easier access to mental health treatment could alleviate the rise. All of the candidates agreed the problem is not a simple one.

When it comes to prioritization over commercial, sport and personal use fishing, all of the candidates agreed that it’s important to share Alaska’s bounty and have a balance.

Walker said he wants everyone at the table, to contribute ideas and knowledge to tackle issues. He created an advisory committee where he said he brought everyone together to talk about these issues.

Begich said everyone is part of the solution. He said he would make sure there was a fisheries advisor inside the governor’s office to advise on these issues.

Dunleavy said this issue would be one of his top priorities as governor, and that the state needs to manage fisheries better.

The candidates had different ideas on how to market Alaska as a tourist destination.

Dunleavy said he first learned about Alaska through movies, TV and magazines.

He said these images spoke for themselves. He wants to use Alaska’s rental car tax money and use it towards tourism marketing, growing the number of travelers.

Walker said he moved tourism marketing to the private sector. He has focused on AsiaAlaska relations, and said he took 50 Alaskans to Asia to work on getting direct flights

from Asia to Alaska.

Begich said marketing is a prolonged process. He also said it would be good to use the rental car tax money for marketing, but to a limit so it can’t be taken and used for other things.

Both Begich and Dunleavy agree that SB 91 needs to be repealed.

To tackle the opioid crisis, Begich said it’s important to not just focus on opioids, but to focus on all substance abuse.

Walker said it was important to get more troopers, provide them more benefits, so they don’t move away to King County, Washington. He said focusing on the opioid crisis will bring down crime.

Dunleavy said the state should increase the number of prosecuting attorneys and get prepared for a spike in individuals coming into Alaska prisons.

Both Walker and Dunleavy support the Stand for Alaska campaign because they believe Alaska Ballot Initiative 1 could create uncertainty in upcoming projects. Begich said he is a supporter of the Stand for Salmon campaign.

Both Walker and Begich said they supported Medicaid expansion because it resulted in the opportunity to give 44,000 Alaskans health care.

“We have to do everything we can to make sure our working folks have health care,” Begich said.

“Health care is critical to Alaskans,” Walker said.

Dunleavy said it’s a broken system that needs some overhaul.

“It’s something we got to work on because it’s unsustainable,” Dunleavy said.

points to a lack of judgment, a lack of training and misuse of their power to end the life of a young man whose mother simply wanted a health and welfare check,” Choate said.

Eyre’s mother had called 911 on Dec. 24, 2017 and requested that check on her son after he threatened to kill himself.

The video provided by the police department shows law enforcement officers following Eyre as he walked more than half a mile down a highway and into a cul-de-sac behind a Baptist church. When he stopped, they stopped. When he advanced, they did, and when he walked toward him, they backed up, keeping their distance from a man who had a gun and frequently pointed it at his head.

Officers repeatedly — 78 times by Jewkes’ count — asked Eyre to put the gun down and talk with them. Eyre, distraught, kept walking away from them and repeatedly screamed that he was ready to kill himself.

As he neared the end of the cul-de-sac, which abutted a

residential neighborhood, his screams became louder and occasionally lost all words.

He was illuminated by the headlights of an officer’s patrol car and the aboard spotlight, which cast long shadows.

At the end of the video, Eyre points his pistol at the officers.

“You guys can f***ing die right now; I don’t give a f**k,” he says, and they open fire. The video cuts to black.

According to the report submitted by the Department of Law, officers fired more than 40 shots, and Eyre’s body was hit by at least 23 of those.

Eyre’s sister, Samantha Eyre-Harrison, said the family saw the video Tuesday and that the edited version doesn’t show Eyre asking to be left alone, him peacefully walking away to calm himself down, or him pleading with police that no one needs to die.

She noted that police held their press conference on World Mental Health Day, a holiday intended to raise awareness of mental health issues.

The LNG project is gearing up to be in Nikiski, however, Port Mackenzie and Valdez have put their name in the hat to be considered the base for the highly anticipated project.

When it comes to keeping it in Nikiski, Walker said the project should come to Nikiski. Begich and Dunleavy said it should go to the best site, whether or not that is Nikiski.

The candidates outlined many challenges facing the state’s education system. Begich said it was important for Alaskan teachers to stay and teach in the system, wherever

in the state it may be.

“If we don’t have Alaskans teaching Alaskans, we are going to lose out in the long run,” Begich said.

Both Walker and Dunleavy agreed there should be more career tech classes offered in high school.

Begich and Dunleavy did not support a sales or income tax, but Walker said Alaska needs a broad base tax to support the budget.

When it comes to addressing the unsafe conditions that were investigated at the Alaska Psychiatric Institute, the candidates

agreed that something needed to be done.

Walker said the institute needed more funding to fully staff the facility, and more treatment beds.

Dunleavy said poor management is affecting many programs across the state.

Begich said the mental health services in Alaska are in crisis and that the state is going to solve these complex issues.

Alaskans will have the opportunity to choose their new governor on the November ballot.

said FPD and Troopers failed to de-escalate the situation and left her brother in a literal dead end, feeling trapped.

“When someone feels threatened, and they’re already in a fight or flight state, it’s only going to antagonize them even more,” she said. “I know in the depths of my heart that he was failed that night by FPD and the Alaska State Troopers.”

Alaska State Troopers Capt.

Ron Wall said during Wednesday’s press conference that the

video was delayed by the need to conclude a homicide investigation against the officers, then by the need to allow the Department of Law’s Office of Special Prosecutions to independently investigate.

“We wanted to get this out, but we wanted to do this in a controlled fashion,” he said.

“Hopefully you guys understand that we’ve done it as fast as we can.”

Wednesday’s press conference marked the second time

this year that police video has been released following an officer-involved shooting in Alaska. In February, the Alaska Department of Law declined to press charges following the October 2017 shooting death of a man who apparently was attempting to steal a police car while in handcuffs. In that case, a body camera video was released four months after the incident following an open records request by the Associated Press.

They’re around — check out your playground.

Taking a seat signals “I’m low.”

A buddy would ease the blow.

A friend joins he or she.

How can they be helped?

What can the difficulty be?

Maybe it’s not being picked for a team?

That would be hurtful, it would seem.

Talking together might uncover other feelings.

Stress and sadness can send all of us reeling.

Kids can seek solace at that spot.

It’s once again time for the annual injection of oil profits into the Alaska economy, colloquially known around the state as PFD Day. On Oct. 4, every Alaskan resident who signed up for the 2018 PFD received their $1,600 payment.

Those looking to spend their surplus cash have a variety of outlets to do so, including the Dena’ina Wellness Center Native arts and crafts show on Friday.

The monthly Native Art and Crafts sale, which runs from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Friday, typically occurs on the first Friday of each month, but Tawna Duncan, a Wellness Supervisor with Kenaitze, said pushing the event back a week in October will allow local art appreciators to spend their 2018 Permanent Fund Dividend on a worthwhile cause.

Local Kenaitze members have produced fine crafts such as beaded jewelry, sea otter hats and gloves, and the traditional outerwear worn by Alaska Natives known as kuspuks.

“This event (features) all Alaska Natives who hand make their arts and crafts,” Duncan said. “It’s quite a large event.”

Other art pieces include handmade bags, embroidery displays and traditional clothing pieces of the Dena’ina culture.

Duncan said the quantity of featured products are largely dependant on the length of the fishing and hunting season.

“The array of artwork that comes through is phenomenal,” she said. “We’ve

seen some phenomenal art that comes from seals and otters, and every piece of artwork is something that’s done historically, and something they’ve learned from their grandparents.”

Duncan added that the hard work of the Kenaitze tribe on display at the show spotlights the great traditions and values of the Dena’ina culture.

“It’s something we’ve worked hard at establishing,” she said. “We hold it on monthly basis as a way to support our local artists and to support carrying on the traditions of art. It’s an important part of the culture and tradition, and we like to open it up for people.”

snarling, then he’d been stabbed and was shrieking in pain and a man with a knife was racing toward Andie, who had seconds to react. Pulling her weapon, she shot the man dead, but the “man” was a mere boy – Christopher, a teenager who lived just down the lane.

Tom Wolski probably should’ve excused himself.

He knew that, the minute he was asked to run the investigation into the Brady case.

He also knew that doing so would be a great way for him to set himself apart within the Nisqually County Sheriff’s Department.

Determining what happened would show Top Brass that Tom was ready for bigger things and better money.

The problem was that, ever since a disastrous blind date that never actually happened, Tom didn’t think much of Officer Andrea Brady.

He didn’t think much of the dead boy’s parents, either. According to them, Christopher was a good kid who never gave them a minutes’ trouble. Maybe, they insinuated, Andrea seduced their son and shot him in a lovers’ quarrel. Tom strongly doubted all that, but clues to why Andrea shot Christopher weren’t adding up.

In the meantime, Andrea struggled: nightmares colored her sleep and flashbacks lit her days. Her dog was on the mend, but she was not. How could she even think of doing her job anymore? How could she rid herself of the cloud of guilt she felt?

Ripped from the headlines and twisted into a bit of romantic mystery with a dog, “A Healing Justice” is a delightful novel, the kind that you can share with pretty See HEAL, page B2

‘A Star is Born’ — Less sappy than the original, with better music R eeling It In C hris J enness I must confess — I’ve never seen the 1976 “A Star is Born,” starring Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. That’s not particularly shocking to my younger readers, who may not even know the movie exists, but we’re talking about a huge hit film. It stumbled a little bit at the Oscars, only taking home one, but absolutely cleaned up at the Golden Globes, winning Best Actor, Actress, Song, Score and Best Picture. I just Googled the trailer and it looks truly unwatchable. Yeesh! I guess we’ll see what people say in 40 years about this week’s film, but I can’t imagine it will age as poorly.

The current incarnation of “A Star is Born” is directed by and stars Bradley Cooper in a truly transformative role.

As aging rocker Jackson Maine, Cooper completely disappears, losing his snark, his polish, and his usual suave wit, becoming instead a deeply insecure addict who only truly comes alive when he’s performing. And perform he does.

Cooper reportedly learned the guitar for this role and the result is amazing.

The concert scenes are some of the most electrifying of the film. Starring alongside Cooper, Stefani Germonatta, aka Lady Gaga, is Allie, a talented hopeful who has long since given up on her dream after being told repeatedly that she’s just not pretty enough to be a star.

When a chance encounter brings these two together, it appears the dye is cast.

Allie is singing in a drag queen bar, the only real woman allowed to, and Maine sees her talent immediately. Where it would be easy to write the older star’s See STAR, page B2

Banksy artwork self-destructs just after $1.4 million sale

By JILL LAWLESS Associated Press

LONDON — Art prankster Banksy has struck again.

A work by the elusive street artist self-destructed in front of startled auction-goers on Friday, moments after being sold for 1.04 million pounds ($1.4 million). In an Instagram post Saturday, Banksy claimed the dramatic artistic payoff had been years in the making.

The spray-painted canvas “Girl With Balloon” went under the hammer at Sotheby’s in London, fetching more than three times its pre-sale estimate and equaling a record price for the artist.

Then, as an alarm sounded, it ran through a shredder embedded in the frame, leaving half the canvas hanging from the bottom in strips.

A post on Banksy’s official Instagram account showed the moment — and the shocked reaction of those in the room — with the words “Going, going, gone…”

A video was later posted on the account, stating: “A few years ago I secretly built a shredder into a painting in case it was ever put up for auction.” The video showed images of a shredder being implanted into a picture frame along with footage of Friday’s auction finale.

Banksy’s spokeswoman, Jo Brooks, confirmed that the post was genuine.

Sotheby’s — which had noted before the sale that the work’s

interest in the younger as a somewhat calculated investment, Cooper doesn’t play it that way, instead playing Maine’s infatuation as an attraction to the purity of her performance in contrast to the cynic he’s become.

As Jackson brings Allie along, introducing her to the right people, giving her access to the power players, his own life and career begin to nosedive. Is the drugs and booze he can’t let go of, or is the thought of Allie being swallowed up into the industry machine just too much to take? Make no mistake, this is a powerful film and everybody involved is bringing their A-game.

Cooper is phenomenal, and I’ll talk about Lady Gaga in a moment, but it would be a disservice to fail to mention the incredible supporting cast in this film.

Sam Elliott is always good, but here he is more vulnerable than I’ve ever seen, even while maintaining that rugged cowboy facade. Comedy legend Dave Chappelle shows up for a brief cameo, but manages to create a lovely character in just a few minutes of screen time.

For “Hamilton” fans, there is a small role for Anthony Ramos, aka John Laurens, as Allie’s best friend and confidant. And finally, a true surprise to me is Andrew Dice Clay absolutely killing it as Allie’s doting father. I missed Clay’s big revelatory movie, “Blue Jasmine,” from Woody Allen so his performance here was completely unexpected. He’s absolutely great playing an aging driver who’s lived his life adjacent to celebrity. I was blown away.

I was blown away a lot in this film, but none more than by Lady Gaga herself.

She does an incredible job in this role. So good, in fact, that you completely forget who you are watching. Can you imagine Beyoncé, Madonna, or Michael Jackson being able to completely disappear like that? And make no mistake, Gaga is

much anyone who loves a tale on the lighter side.

Indeed, the action in this book is tame enough for anyone who hates needless violence, and it doesn’t linger in blood and guts. The character cast is short and sweet. The language isn’t even offensive; though there are a tiny handful of rough words, they fit, and aren’t gratuitously placed.

ornate gilded frame was “an integral element of the artwork chosen by Banksy himself” — appeared as shocked as anyone else.

“It appears we just got Banksy-ed,” said Alex Branczik, head of contemporary European art at the auction house.

The auction house said it was “in discussion about next steps” with the buyer, whose identity was not disclosed. Some artmarket watchers say the work could be worth even more in its shredded state.

“We have not experienced this situation in the past . where a painting spontaneously shredded, upon achieving a record for the artist,” Branczik said.

“We are busily figuring out what this means in an auction context.”

Geneva-based artist Pierre Koukjian, who was at the auction, said the buyer was “very lucky” to own a now-historic piece. He called Banksy’s prank “a turning point in the history of contemporary and conceptual art.”

Koukjian, who has met Banksy, said he is sure he caught a glimpse of the artist in the saleroom amid the confusion of the moment.

“What he did is really shocking, in a good way,” Koukjian said. “I think it will be historic and people will talk for a long time about it.”

Brooks would not say whether the artist had been at the auction. She said Sotheby’s had in that company. Honestly, I wasn’t sure, watching her in this intensely personal, intimate role, why she was doing it. She can’t need the money, and as far as acclaim, she’s got more than her share, for sure. She burst onto the music scene 10 years ago and has broken every record known, but always as this bizarre, costumed, larger-than-life character Lady Gaga. This isn’t her first role — she’d done some bit parts and a cameo here and there, eventually winning a Golden Globe for her work on “American Horror Story.” But this is the first time, as far as I can tell, that she’s really let her guard down and put herself out there. This performance is raw and completely open — to the point where Cooper and his cinematographer fill the screen with close-ups of her face — daring anyone to suggest her looks would be a career killer. From what I’ve read, the struggles of Allie’s early career closely match the experience Gaga had, which could explain her years behind a veil of crazy hair and make-up.

As a director, Cooper is a tour de force. The film has a slightly unpolished, jittery feel — not to the level of a Paul Greengrass Bourne movie, but just a touch of reality. As I mentioned, his concert footage is phenomenal, which is helped by the fact that the music in the film is great. A buddy of mine predicts that this film will grab four of the five song categories at this year’s academy awards, and I think he’s probably right.

This isn’t a movie I was all that interested in seeing. I’d heard the early hype and was encouraged, but still — a sappy romance about an aging singer and an ingenue just didn’t sound particularly interesting. Cooper solves that problem by losing the sap and dialing up the quality of the music. It’s easily in my top ten, and could easily end up being my favorite film of the year. Grade: A+ “A Star is Born” is rated R for language, sexual situations, brief nudity, and drug use.

Reading this book, if you will, is like wearing your favorite sweatshirt at the end of the summer: comfortable, warm, pleasantly familiar, and not at all complicated.

Best of all: a dog.

For lovers of novels with a heart-pound or two, romance fans, and those who read about pooches, “A Healing Justice” should be on your bookshelf.

It’s a book you’ll love. Just watch.

been “100 percent” unaware of the planned stunt.

Banksy is not the first artist to deconstruct his own work.

In the years after World War II, German-born artist Gustav Metzger pioneered “auto-destructive art,” creating paintings using acid that ate away the fabric beneath.

Banksy, who has never disclosed his full identity, began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world’s best-known artists. His mischievous and often satirical images include two policemen kissing, armed riot police with yellow smiley faces and a chimpanzee with a sign bearing the words “Laugh now, but one day I’ll be in charge.”

He also has a penchant for elaborate pranks.

In 2005, he hung an image of a spear-toting ancient human pushing a shopping cart in the British Museum, where it remained for several days before being discovered. The next year he smuggled a life-sized figure of a Guantanamo Bay detainee into Disneyland, and in 2015 he erected a full-scale dystopian theme park — “Dismaland” — by the British seaside.

“Girl With Balloon,” which depicts a small child reaching up toward a heart-shaped red balloon, was originally stenciled on a wall in east London and has been endlessly reproduced, In this undated photo provided by Sotheby’s the spray-painted canvas ‘Girl with Balloon’ by artbecoming one of Banksy’s best- ist Banksy is pictured.

Taylor Swift wins big at AMAs and encourages fans to vote

By MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer

Taylor Swift kicked off her week with a rare political post on social media, and at the American Music Awards she continued the conversation by encouraging fans to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.

Swift won four honors including artist of the year at the fan-voted show on Tuesday in Los Angeles, beating out Drake, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons and Post Malone for the top prize.

“This award and every single award given out tonight were voted on by the people, and you know what else is voted on by the people,” she said, “the midterm elections on November 6.”

Swift announced on Sunday that she was voting for Tennessee’s Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen, breaking her long-standing refusal to discuss anything politics.

Voting was a hot topic at the AMAs. Host and Golden Globe-winning “black-ish” actress Tracee Ellis Ross wore a shirt that said, “I am a voter,” and comedian-actor Billy Eichner told the audience, “The biggest election of our lifetime is happening.”

“Please grab your friends and tell them to vote. Now is the

time. If you believe in equality for women, for people of color, for the LGBTQ community. If you believe that climate change is real and that we need to do something about it,” he said onstage before presenting an award.

“And you can go to Vote.org like Taylor Swift told you to,” he added.

Swift made history by becoming the most decorated woman in the show’s history with a total of 23 AMAs. Despite having the year’s top-selling album and three No. 1 hits, Drake didn’t win a single award.

He did not attend the show but tied Cardi B with most nominations walking into the AMAs. Swift kicked off the show with a performance of “I Did Something Bad,” while Cardi B — who won three honors — picked up the night’s first award, favorite hip-hop/rap artist, which she dedicated to her daughter.

“I really want to thank my daughter,” said Cardi B, who gave birth to Kulture Kiari Cephus in July. “I gotta prove people wrong. They said I wasn’t going to make it after I had a baby.”

The rapper hit the stage to give a festive and colorful performance of her No. 1 hit, “I Like It,” where she was

Cardi B’s husband, Offset of the rap trio Migos, danced along in the audience with group member Quavo as Cardi B worked the stage with vibrant dance moves, including the salsa.

Cardi B returned the favor, screaming happily when Mi-

gos was named favorite pop/ rock duo or group, beating out Maroon 5 and Imagine Dragons, later in the show.

“We did not know we was winning this at all,” said Quavo, also giving a shout-out to group member Takeoff, who didn’t attend the AMAs. “I want to thank you sexy lady,” Offset said, pointing to Cardi B.

Grand Ole Opry gives salute to Ray Charles

By KRISTIN M. HALL Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As an impoverished blind child in Florida, Ray Charles grew up listening to the country and western stars on the Grand Ole Opry broadcasts. That music of his childhood stayed close to his heart for the rest of his career, and it was his landmark two-volume set, “Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music,” that changed country music in the ’60s.

Charles, who died in 2004, will be the subject of a new public television special airing in February. During a special taping Monday at the Grand Ole Opry, a diverse cast of singers, including Darius Rucker, Ronnie Milsap, Charlie Wilson, Boyz II Men, LeAnn Rimes, Cam and more, honored the soul genius.

The rare tribute from the country music institution was in partnership with the Ray Charles Foundation, whose president Valerie Ervin said getting the recognition from the Opry was a priority for her.

“The Opry meant everything to him. He loved everybody at the Opry,” Ervin said.

“He loved country music, so to have it here, it just seals it for me. I felt what he felt back in 1962 when he really wanted to be a part of the country world

and there was no better place to do it than the Opry.”

Charles’ decision to record a collection of country songs from artists like Hank Williams and Eddy Arnold was good timing for the genre, said Diane Pecknold, professor of women’s and gender studies at the University of Louisville.

“He came along at a time when the Country Music Association was aggressively working to recast the image of its audience,” Pecknold said.

“The industry and the popular culture at large tended to view the country music audience as backward hicks, racists, retrograde people generally.”

Recorded in New York with lush strings and backing choir, Charles doesn’t just reinvent the songs, he left his unique mark on them, fusing soul and jazz, country lyrics and orchestral pop. Fifty years later, the album still holds up as one of the greatest of the genre.

The record spent 14 weeks on the top of the Billboard albums chart. “I Can’t Stop Loving You” spent five weeks at No. 1 on the pop charts and 16 weeks at No. 1 on the R&B charts and won the 1962 Grammy Award for best rhythm and blues recording. The first volume sold more than 1 million records, so a second volume came out shortly after. Country publishing suddenly became

in high demand as other artists sought to replicate Charles’ success.

“He was more successful than anyone in taking country music to pop audiences,” said Pecknold.

Rucker, who hosted the TV special, said that artists like Charles and Charley Pride were instrumental in his own path to country music.

“Ray went out on a limb and took a chance and nobody wanted him to do it,” Rucker said. “He did it anyway. It still stands the test of time. And now for some place like the Opry to pay tribute to Ray is huge.”

Later in the 1980s, Charles would hit the country charts with another album of country songs, “Friendship,” including a No. 1 country hit duet with Willie Nelson on “Seven Spanish Angels.”

The TV special includes a riveting performance of that song by Nelson’s son, Lukas Nelson, who shared photos of his dad and Charles from his last birthday. From Travis Tritt’s energetic performance of “I’m Movin’ On,” to Chris Young’s version of “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” the country performers let out their best soulful renditions for the special.

‘Perfect’ man vanishes when alcohol loosens his tongue Regardless of how you feel about him, for your own well-being, draw the line and tell him he needs to stop drinking. If he’s as alcohol-dependent as I suspect he is, he will give you an argument or an outright refusal. And that’s your cue to tell him if he wants a future with you, he will have to make a choice.

DEAR ABBY: My in- Abigail Van Buren laws are angry that I have declined to host them over the holidays this year. My husband is never helpful. When company comes, he sits on his mobile phone while I do everything. I told his parents I can’t have them over because all the responsibility falls on me. My “no” should suffice, but my mother-in-law hopes to argue me into hosting.

We don’t have children because I knew I would end up raising them alone. I don’t want the in-laws here “hinting” that they need us to help them when my husband won’t lift a finger.

keep pressuring me to share my diagnosis with them. They think I should cheerfully do all the work of hosting them as a way to fight my disability!

They are extremely nosy. I am now blocking her calls. I know they will spend their time here trying to get a look at my medications and any financial information left out. What else can I do?

-- UNMERRY IN LOUISIANA DEAR UNMERRY: You should all try to achieve a workable compromise, if that’s possible. Ask your MIL if she’s prepared to take some of the responsibility off your shoulders if she and her husband visit. Suggest they stay in a hotel or motel rather than burden you. And your husband (their son) should back you up on this.

You have choices to make, especially as winter approaches. If you are attached, communication with your sweetie improves and intensifies. You will find your daily life as a couple to be more vital. SCORPIO has strong opinions; listening does not mean you agree.

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 One-on-one relating takes you down a colorful path. An authority figure could surprise you with his or her attitude. If you cannot work within this person’s parameters, walk away. Relate directly to a loved one, and you’ll be pleased with the outcome. Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Don’t take a stand, even if you’re inclined to. Stay out of others’ whirlwinds and issues. You will know when to reconnect on a deeper level.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Understand what is happening around a domestic matter and a piece of property. Realize that your priorities might need revising.

Do not fight the inevitable; instead, flow with it. Look to making changes at a later date. Tonight: Remain positive, and say “yes” to a fun gettogether.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.22) HHHHH Reach out to someone you care about. This person seems to remain responsive no matter what you do! Do not push or test your limits, as a reversal could be close to impossible to enact at the present point. Let others know how much their loyalty means to you. Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Act rather than speculate, except when dealing with money ventures. The risk might not be worth it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Back out of a problem, or decide to be mum about it for now.

You need to look at the issue at hand from several different perspectives before making a final judgment call. You will like what you see. Use the gift of time to your advantage.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You can’t count on others’ reactions to be what you want them to be. You can count only on yourself and your own responses.

Do not create a hassle where one doesn’t exist. Examine your possibilities more openly. Detach from a heated situation. Tonight: Where your friends are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You carry additional responsibilities, but not because you want to. Much seems to fall on your plate because others know you will follow through. Consider using the word “no” more often. Be willing to be slightly less responsible once in a while. Tonight: A must appearance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Reach out to an expert to get feedback, rather than brainstorm with a friend who is more likely to agree with you. You will get more dynamic input and have an opportunity to see an option that might not be readily visible. Tonight: Make weekend plans with loved ones.

Check in and win?

Dear Heloise: I always “check in” on my SOCIAL MEDIA SITES when I’m at my favorite businesses. This lets my friends know where I am, but it also gives the company free advertising!

One company saw that I had mentioned it and gave me 10 percent off my bill just for the mention! Wow -- I wasn’t expecting that!

Pretty nice.

-- Elizabeth L. in San Antonio A BASKET IN HAND Hi, Heloise: If I’m running in to the supermarket for just a few items, I pick up a handbasket instead of a shopping buggy.

This will limit the amount of items I can pick up, and I’ll avoid over-spending and buying things I don’t need.

Going to the market on a full stomach is a true money-saver, too -- ha!

-- Helen S. in Pittsburgh BOILED-EGG INFO Dear Readers: Here are some hints about hard-boiled eggs: * Older eggs will be easier to peel. Use eggs that you’ve had in the fridge for at least a week; this will allow some air to get inside the egg to loosen it from the shell. * To remove the shell, lightly thump the egg on the countertop until the shell has visible cracking. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell. Press down on the egg at the large end while holding the egg under cold water. This will release the shell. * You can store hard-boiled eggs for one week in the refrigerator. Keep them in their original carton; this is so the eggs won’t absorb odors from other foods, and the eggs are less liable to get jostled around and possibly cracked.

-- Heloise P.S. According to the American Egg Board (www.aeb.org), keep that carton on the shelf of the refrigerator and not in the door. The temperature is more consistent on the shelf.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating the most amazing man for the past 11 months. As we approach the one-year anniversary of the day we met, this “perfect” man is showing some not-so-perfect traits. I was unlucky in love for many years until he swept me off my feet. We have both become extremely close with each other’s respective friends and family.

He’s everything I have been searching for in a life partner and husband. But when he drinks, he confides his deep fears of dating me and enumerates each and every one of my relationship insecurities -- nagging, anxiety, loneliness, etc. The next day he acts like nothing happened! He swears up and down that it was the alcohol talking and he doesn’t mean any of the harsh words he spoke the night before.

Should I believe him? Please don’t let me be the naive girl traveling down a dark rabbit hole.

-- SELF-CONSCIOUS GIRLFRIEND DEAR GIRLFRIEND: Your “amazing” man appears to be a loose-lipped lush. Not knowing him, I can’t guess the degree to which he blacks out when he’s been drinking. Some alcoholics don’t remember what happened the night before.

Others simply don’t WANT to remember, so they claim amnesia.
