Anchorage police say 1 dead in dispute between neighbors
Kavanaugh sworn to high court
ANCHORAGE — Anchorage police are investigating a shooting at a home that left one man dead and another questioned by authorities. Police spokesman MJ Thim says the Hoyt Street shooting Thursday evening resulted from a dispute between two neighbors. He says one of the men was shot in the upper body. The man shot was declared dead at the scene. The names of the two men were not immediately released. Thim says the shooter was questioned by police and released with no charges filed. Thim says self-defense has not been ruled out. No others are being sought by police.

August marijuana tax revenue hits $1.5 million JUNEAU — Monthly marijuana tax revenue in Alaska hit $1.5 million in August, another new high. The state says the only time this year that tax revenue was below $1 million was in February. Cultivators pay the tax, imposed when marijuana is sold or transferred from a licensed grow facility to a retail marijuana shop or product manufacturing facility. Alaska’s Department of Revenue says about $15.8 million has been collected since October 2016, when the first legal sales began. Alaskans in 2014 voted to legalize the so-called recreational use of marijuana. State law calls for half of the tax revenue to go toward programs aimed at reducing repeat criminal offenders. Legislation passed earlier this year calls for an additional 25 percent to go toward a marijuana education and treatment program. — The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in Saturday night as the 114th justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, after a wrenching debate over sexual misconduct and judicial temperament that shattered the Senate, captivated the nation and ushered in an acrimonious new level of polarization — now encroaching on the court that the 53-year-old judge may well swing rightward for decades to come. Even as Kavanaugh took his oath of office in a quiet private ceremony, not long after the narrowest Senate confirmation in nearly a century and a half, protesters chanted outside the court building across the street from the Capitol. The climactic 50-48 roll call capped a fight that seized the national conversation after claims emerged that he had sexually assaulted women three decades ago — allegations he emphatically denied. Those accusations transformed the clash from a routine struggle over judicial ideology into an angry jumble of questions about victims’ rights, the presumption of innocence and personal attacks on nominees. His confirmation provides a defining accomplishment for

Historic Kenai chapel gets face-lift By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
The Saint Nicholas Memorial Chapel, one of the most recognized Kenai landmarks, is about to receive some muchneeded repairs. Sunlight shines through holes in the roof and walls of the small, iconic chapel in Kenai’s Old Town. The hand-hewn logs, the once vibrant blue dome and the gold cross on top of the chapel have seen better days. The chapel has received two grants to help renovate the chapel, which is a National Historic Landmark. Last year, the chapel received a $13,000 donation grant from the Fellowship of Orthodox Christians in America. Earlier last week, the Alaska Historical Commission awarded a $14,964 grant to the chapel. Dorothy Gray is the treasurer of the nonprofit group Russian
Orthodox Sacred Sites in Alaska, the secretary and treasurer for Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church in Kenai and a lifelong member of the church. She said the grants will kick-start the chapel’s restoration efforts. “We are so excited,” Gray said. “Now we can begin work on the chapel, which is greatly in need of repair.” Gray said the chapel is not only very special for orthodox Christians in Kenai, but to others who visit Kenai in the summertime. “We get hundreds of people every day in the summer that visit here,” Gray said. The city of Kenai also recognizes the significance of the chapel, as its image appears on street signs, in the chamber of commerce logo and even on the city seal. See CHAPEL, page A2

Nikiski high schooler’s nonprofit looks to expand By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Nikiski Children’s Fund, a nonprofit set up by Nikiski High School student Carlee Rizzo, is looking to expand its reach to Homer, Kenai, Soldotna and Seward. Rizzo said the fund has done a lot of good for the Nikiski School, and could have potential in other peninsula schools. “It would be nice if other schools had this opportunity,” Rizzo said. In 2015, Rizzo began the project when she was a fresh-
man in high school, and saw that many of her peers could use a helping hand. Both of Rizzo’s parents are teachers, and are among the first in schools to recognize when students are struggling, she said. “I just saw all these kids with holes in their shoes, or holes in their backpacks,” Rizzo said. “As I got older, one of my friends was living in their car with no money for food. I’m not someone who can just stand by.” Rizzo coordinates public events, like concerts and an annual softball game between the
Nikiski fire department and the Alaska State Troopers, to raise money. The money raised is then made available for teachers to use when they see students who might need help. The fund has generated $8,000 in the last three years to support the nonprofit’s donations, and an additional $8,000 to provide an annual scholarship. Rizzo said the fund helps pay for anything a kid might need, like the electric bills of Silas Firth and Michael Miller help shoot a promo video about families who need assistance, the Nikiski Children’s Fund with the founder, Carlee Rizzo, in See FUND, page A2 this undated photo.

political rally, flashed a thumbsup gesture when the tally was announced and praised Kavanaugh for being “able to withstand this horrible, horrible attack by the Democrats.� He later telephoned his congratulations to the new justice, then at the rally returned to his own attack on the Democrats as “an angry leftwing mob.� Like Trump, senators at the Capitol predicted voters would react strongly by defeating the other party’s candidates in next month’s congressional elections. “It’s turned our base on fire,� declared Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. But Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York forecast gains for his party instead: “Change must come from where change in America always begins: the ballot box.� The justices themselves made a quiet show of solidarity. Kavanaugh was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts and the man he’s replacing, retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, as fellow Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan looked on — two conservatives and two liberals. Still, Kagan noted the night
before that Kennedy has been “a person who found the center� and ‘it’s not so clear we’ll have that’ now. Noisy to the end, the Senate battle featured a call of the roll that was interrupted several times by protesters shouting in the spectators’ gallery before Capitol Police removed them. Vice President Mike Pence presided, his potential tie-breaking vote unnecessary. Trump has now put his stamp on the court with his second justice in as many years. Yet Kavanaugh is joining under a cloud. Accusations from several women remain under scrutiny, and House Democrats have pledged further investigation if they win the majority in November. Outside groups are culling an unusually long paper trail from his previous government and political work, with the National Archives and Records Administration expected to release a cache of millions of documents later this month. Kavanaugh, a father of two, strenuously denied the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford, who says he sexually assaulted her when they were teens. An appellate court judge on the District of Columbia circuit for the past 12 years, he pushed for the Senate vote as hard as Republican leaders — not just to reach this capstone of his legal career, but in fighting to clear his name After Ford’s allegations,
Democrats and their allies became engaged as seldom before, though there were obvious echoes of Thomas’ combative confirmation over the sexual harassment accusations of Anita Hill, who worked for him at two federal agencies. Protesters began swarming Capitol Hill, creating a tense, confrontational atmosphere that put Capitol Police on edge. As exhausted senators prepared for Saturday’s vote, some were flanked by security guards. Hangers and worse have been delivered to their offices, a Roe v. Wade reference. Some 164 people were arrested, most for demonstrating on the Capitol steps, 14 for disrupting the Senate’s roll call vote. McConnell told The Associated Press in an interview that the “mob� of opposition — confronting senators in the hallways and at their homes — united his narrowly divided GOP majority as Kavanaugh’s confirmation teetered and will give momentum to his party chances this fall. In the end, all but one Republican, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, lined up behind the judge. She said on the Senate floor late Friday that Kavanaugh is “a good man� but his “appearance of impropriety has become unavoidable.� In a twist, Murkowski voted “present� Saturday as a courtesy to Republican Kavanaugh supporter Steve Daines, who was to

walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding in Montana. That balanced out the absence without affecting the outcome, and gave Kavanaugh the same two-vote margin he’d have received had both lawmakers voted. It was the closest roll call to confirm a justice since 1881, when Stanley Matthews was approved by 24-23, according to Senate records. As the Senate tried to recover

The chapel was built in 1906 at the site of the old Russian Fort and fur trading post, and Kenai’s first church, which was built in 1849. The chapel is the resting place for Kenai’s first Russian Orthodox missionary, Father Iguman Nikolai, his reader Makary Ivanov and another monk whose name was not recorded. Father Iguman Nikolai brought the smallpox vaccine to Kenai, saving the lives of many Dena’ina. Gray said Makary Ivanov’s ancestors still live in the area and attend the Russian Orthodox church. Today the chapel is seldom used, except for special occa-

from its charged atmosphere, Murkowski’s move offered a moment of civility. “I do hope that it reminds us that we can take very small steps to be gracious with one another and maybe those small gracious steps can lead to more,� she said. Republicans control the Senate by a meager 51-49 margin, and announcements of support Friday from Republicans Jeff Flake of Arizona and Susan
Collins of Maine, along with Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia, locked in the needed votes. Manchin was the only Democrat to vote for Kavanaugh’s confirmation. He expressed empathy for sexual assault victims, but said that after factoring in the FBI report, “I have found Judge Kavanaugh to be a qualified jurist who will follow the Constitution.�
Gray said some updates are allowed. An ice water barrier shield will lay underneath the historically accurate shingles as an extra protectant. The first phase of the renovation will be to repair the roof, dome and cross. The final phase will be to repair the hand-hewn logs, which are showing weather-related wear and tear. Gray said she couldn’t remember the last time the chapel received any significant upgrades or repairs. She said it may have been in the 1970s. “I’m not positive,� Gray said. “I came here in the late 70s and I don’t remember. I do remember somebody putting a new cross on top within that time frame, but it’s been several decades since any renovation.� Because the chapel is a National Historic Landmark, the National Park Service will provide any architectural plans and structural designs needed for the project. The repair work will begin next spring.

a driving lesson for a student who can’t afford it, or hats, gloves, coats or boots. Rizzo has even helped fundraise for new school supplies and clothing for a student whose family home burned down in the middle of the night. The nonprofit needs to raise $3,000 to support the expansion to the peninsula’s other areas. Rizzo set up GoFundMe account that has already earned nearly $800. If Rizzo is able to raise the funds she needs to expand, the money will be available to other peninsula schools by next semester, she said. In addition to expanding the fund to other schools, Rizzo is setting up an annual scholarship. Every year, a junior in high school will have the chance to win the $1,000 scholarship if they choose to take on the coordinating role Rizzo has been in since the nonprofit’s beginnings. Rizzo said each scholarship recipient will train the next.

What Others Say
Trump, Kavanaugh, and the messages we send to victims of sexual assault Dear Sens. Jeff Flake, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, There was a time — fleeting as it was — when it seemed President Donald Trump would give the proper respect and deference due to Christine Blasey Ford, the 51-year-old psychology professor who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a party when she was 15. Last week after her testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Trump called her “very compelling” and a “very credible witness.”… Mr. Trump’s civility did not last, of course. He eventually got around to speculating about how she, or her parents, would surely have reported the incident to police decades ago had it really happened — ignoring the reality of such trauma and how rarely it comes to light. But the president hit rock bottom Tuesday when, speaking before a political rally in Mississippi, he savagely mocked Ms. Ford. “‘I don’t know. I don’t know.’ ‘Upstairs? Downstairs? Where was it?’ ‘I don’t know,’” Mr. Trump said in his shameful attempt to imitate her testimony. “‘But I had one beer. That’s the only thing I remember.”’… What followed this public sadism? Cheering. Laughter. Applause. One of Ms. Ford’s attorneys, Michael R. Bromwich, a former Justice Department inspector general, called the performance a “vicious, vile and soulless attack.”… We write to you, senators, because you know — as all Americans must know — that you hold the future of the Kavanaugh nomination in your hands. It’s clear most senators have already made their choices in this matter following the customary lines of Washington’s tribal politics. Senator Flake, in particular, demonstrated that while he may be inclined toward consenting on the nominee, he can recognize that something seriously wrong is happening right now on Capitol Hill. His choice to force a further FBI inquiry into Mr. Kavanaugh’s background was at least a step toward making things right. But it’s proving to be an inadequate one. One week was always a tough deadline to expect the FBI to do a meaningful investigation but what’s come out so far — of its limited scope and rigor (interviewing as few as four individuals, according to some accounts) — suggest the effort is more a fig leaf than an attempt to gain insight. Meanwhile, there’s the matter of Mr. Kavanaugh’s own testimony before the committee, his sharply partisan tone that seemed inappropriate to a first-year District Court judge let alone a Supreme Court justice. Senator Flake recently admitted he was troubled by the “tone” of Mr. Kavanaugh’s remarks. How often does a nominee talk about “revenge for the Clintons” or other perceived partisan slights as Mr. Kavanaugh did last week? And then there’s the matter of how often the nominee evaded questions about, or outright misrepresented, his heavy drinking to the Senate committee and the prospect that his memory of events in 1982 is hazy at best. Don’t let this train leave the station, senators, not if you care about decency, about the integrity of the court, about what this episode is telling victims of sexual abuse. …
It’s time to take it outside Americans have known for decades about the wide variety of health problems caused by smoking cigarettes. But breathing other people’s cigarette smoke, sometimes called “secondhand smoke,” also causes health problems. Beginning Oct. 1, Alaska joined 25 other states in requiring smokers in public places, including worksites, to “take it outside” to protect the health of others. These regulations are based on sound science, protect the health of us all, and save us money. In a state that prides itself on its independence and libertarian values, this law strikes the right balance between personal freedom and personal responsibility. Secondhand smoke has been linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, lung cancer, and other respiratory diseases. This is not junk science or an idea coming out of a single study. For example, there are at least three lines of evidence that connect secondhand smoke with increased risk of heart attack: 1) multiple studies have documented a scientific link between inhaling others’ cigarette smoke and heart attack risk. 2) We understand the biology of this link. Cigarette smoke alters the blood clotting function and the lining of the heart’s blood vessels within minutes, increasing the risk of blocked arteries and limiting the supply of oxygen to the heart muscle,
J ay C. B utler which causes a heart attack. This reaction begins even at low levels of exposure, so there is no safe amount of smoke exposure. 3) Places as diverse as Helena, Montana, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and the state of Arizona saw the rate of hospitalization for heart attacks drop by an average 17 percent within months of implementing indoor smoking regulations. These declines continued to grow with time. While the greatest protection was for persons who have never smoked, some protection was also noted for former smokers. We are all concerned with the high costs of health care. Avoiding secondhand smoke protects the health and productivity of Alaskans, and it avoids the costs of illness for employers, government, and all private citizens. If Alaska experienced a similar decline in heart attack risk in the next five years as has been reported from other places, our health care system could
Kavanaugh steals the spotlight from Mueller … for right now
Let’s test our memories: How many recall Robert Mueller? I’ll give you a hint: Second only to President Donald Trump, he has dominated the news since his appointment to lead the investigation into how much Trump and his campaign colluded with Vladimir Putin’s Russians to make the 2016 U.S. election swerve Trump’s way. That, however, was before Brett Kavanaugh came along. Kavanaugh’s quest to sail smoothly through Senate confirmation, so he can then navigate the Supreme Court far to the right, suddenly has run aground. Accusations against him of youthful sexual assault, followed by his angry storm of denials, threatened to drown him. It was a whale of a drama that captured our undivided attention. Our attention span can assimilate only one maelstrom at a time, so we were fixated on whether he would sink or stay above water in a Senate that is also sailing the treacherous seas of the midterm elections to decide which party — The Baltimore Sun, Oct. 3 will take the helm. Those who have missed Bob Mueller probably will have to wait till after the election, but he will come chugging back over the horizon soon enough … actually, all too soon for Trump and his legal E-mail: team. Still pending for the Mueller innews@peninsulaclarion.com vestigation are questions about whether The Donald and The Vladimir conspired Write: Fax: to shape the 2016 outcome, or whether Peninsula Clarion 907-283-3299 their designees handled the dirty work.

avert $3.7 million dollars in treating cardiovascular diseases and the Alaska Medicaid program could avert over $500,000 in direct medical care costs. While the new law on indoor smoking applies to public places and worksites, it is important to also keep our houses free of smoke — particularly if there are children in the home. Children exposed to secondhand smoke have more ear infections and asthma attacks, and babies who breathe secondhand smoke have greater risk of sudden infant death. With the oncoming influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) seasons, adults who smoke need to know that children who breathe secondhand smoke are more likely to be sent to the hospital when they have respiratory infections than children who are not exposed to secondhand smoke. If you smoke, there are a number of things you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones. You can get help quitting by seeing your health care provider or by calling Alaska’s Tobacco Quit Line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. If you are not ready or have been unable to quit, there is still a very important and responsible step you can take to protect others: Take it outside. Jay C.

views the probe as an existential threat, be emboldened enough by his rage or fear to actually fire Mueller, or perhaps Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who has Bob Franken enabled Mueller, because Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself? Will he fire Sessions, which could have a domino effect that could neutralize Mueller? would he get away with such maneuvers or would there be a mutiny? The Brett Kavanaugh squall soon will fade into a squalid memory, along with Kavanaugh’s blustery, menacing threats as he angrily maintained that the sexual assault charges are all a politically motivated delusion. However, Donald Trump’s “no collusion” mantra will not be fading anytime soon. He and it will come roaring back as Mueller continues his methodical pursuit, although Mueller’s roar is an eerily quiet one. He has stealthily built his case against the Trumpsters. So far, the glimmers we have gotten have indicated he’s constructing a strong one, brick by brick. The impact of what he ultimately produces will depend on the upcoming election. If the Democrats don’t blow it, as they usually do, their party can take over the House of Representatives. If they succeed, they probably will initi-
ate impeachment proceedings, particularly if Mueller gives them the slightest excuse. If a president, or anyone, is impeached, then it’s up to the Senate, where two-thirds of the members would have to vote to remove someone from office. It is not possible for the Democrats to achieve a two-thirds Senate majority, but there is an outside chance they’ll get a bare-bones simple majority. So while excising Donald Trump from the White House is a nearly impossible dream for his ardent enemies, a simple majority would be able to stymie his judicial nominations, and for not only the Supremes (if any), but the entire federal judiciary. There would be no more Brett Kavanaughs. Generating a so-called blue wave to take over both houses of Congress will be a major challenge for the opposition Democrats. Whether they’re up to it is in serious doubt. Their party’s organizational skills are dubious. Tight coordination is all-important when putting together a get-out-the-voters drive. The party has not provided anything or anyone to rally around other than a passionate Trump hatred. The pro-Trump crowds will be out in force, so the antis will need to be revved up. Kavanaugh will live on politically as a definite factor in the midterms. Bob Mueller probably will be quiet. His handiwork should have a huge impact in the upcoming election, two years hence, when we should know how much damage he did to Donald Trump.

Nation/World Exile, not jail, for #MeToo accused
At least 50 dead in Congo tanker truck fire
By ANDREW DALTON AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — The #MeToo movement has sent dozens of once-powerful Hollywood players into exile, but few of them have been placed in handcuffs or jail cells. And it’s increasingly apparent that the lack of criminal charges may remain the norm. Harvey Weinstein has been charged with sexual assault in New York, and Bill Cosby was sent to prison in Pennsylvania in the year since stories on Weinstein in The New York Times and The New Yorker set off waves of revelations of sexual misconduct in Hollywood. But those two central figures are exceptions. A task force launched last November by Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey to handle the surge in allegations against entertainment figures has taken up criminal cases involving nearly two dozen entertainment-industry figures. None has been charged. The lack of prosecutions stems from a clash between the #MeToo ethos, which encourages victims to come forward years or even decades after abuse and harassment that they’ve kept private, and a legal system that demands fast reporting of crimes and hard evidence. The task force has considered charges against 22 suspects, including Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, director James Toback and former CBS CEO Leslie Moonves, all of whom have denied engaging in any sex that was not consensual. Charges have already been rejected for most. Cases involving six suspects, including Weinstein and Spacey, both of
KINSHASA, Congo — At least 50 people were killed on Saturday and more than 100 had second-degree burns when a tanker truck in Congo collided with a bus and, as villagers rushed to collect the leaking fuel, caught fire, witnesses and officials said. “We deplore the deaths,” the interim governor of Kongo-Central province, Atu Matubuana, told The Associated Press. Officials were preparing to identify the charred bodies and bury them, Matubuana said. The accident occurred in the village of Mbuba, not far from Kisantu city and about 124 miles southwest of the capital, Kinshasa. Kisantu is on the main highway between the capital and the country’s Matadi seaport. Photos posted online by a local journalist show some of the injured, their skin raw from burns, piled into the back of a pickup truck and squeezed between people on a motorbike.

whom have multiple accusers, remain open. In 14 of the closed cases, charges were declined because the allegations were reported too late and thus outside the statute of limitations. The rest were turned down either for insufficient evidence or because the accuser refused to cooperate with investigators after initially reporting the incidents. While disappointed in the lack of results, several accusers said they were still glad they talked to police and prosecutors, for a variety of reasons both practical and emotional.
Interpol president reported missing

PARIS — He left his home in Lyon, France, for a visit to his homeland, and then vanished — putting the International Criminal Police Organization, best known as Interpol, at the center of its own missing persons case. Meng Hongwei, Interpol’s president, boarded a plane and arrived in China, according to a French judicial official. But then, nothing. His wife, who put out a call on Friday, said she hasn’t heard from her 64-yearold husband since the end of September, the official said. To make matters murkier, Meng is not just the head of Interpol: He’s also a vice minister for public safety in China. Interpol, based in Lyon, would say only that reports that its president is missing is “a matter for the relevant authorities in both France and China.” France launched its own investigation on Friday morning, according to the judicial official who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and asked for anonymity. Whether China was taking action was unknown. But the South China Morning Post, a Hong Kong newspaper, hinted that Meng may have been the latest target of an ongoing campaign against corruption in
Around the World
China. The newspaper said that upon landing last week Meng was “taken away” for questioning by what it said were “discipline authorities.” The term usually describes investigators in the ruling Communist Party who probe graft and political disloyalty. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the party’s secretive internal investigation agency, had no announcements on its website about Meng and could not be reached for comment. Meng is the first from his country to serve as Interpol’s president, a post that is largely symbolic but powerful in status and not without political weight. But because Interpol’s secretary general is responsible for the day-to-day running of the police agency’s operations, Meng’s absence may have little operational effect. Far from being a Hollywoodstyle agency with agents toting weapons across the globe, Interpol is low-profile and discrete about its cases, unless it wants to talk. The organization links up police officials of its 192 member states, who can use Interpol to disseminate their search for a fugitive, or a missing person. Only at the behest of a country does the information go public via a “red notice,” the closest thing to an international arrest warrant. “Yellow notices” are issued for missing persons.
“For me it was not necessarily closure, but one of the healthiest things I’ve ever done for myself,” said Melissa Schuman, whose case dating to 2003 against Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys was rejected over the statute of limitations. “It felt therapeutic to tell the authorities, to be able to take it out of my body and out of my mind and report it.” Fatima Goss Graves, president of the National Women’s Law Center, which oversees the Time’s Up legal defense fund, said for some “the act of reporting, putting it on the record is critical, even if they’re
beyond the limitations.” When law enforcement agencies welcome women to report their experiences, it can eventually result in more prosecutions, she said. “In too many cases law enforcement has sent a signal that they won’t treat these issues,” Goss Graves said. “If you’ve created a climate and space that is friendly to people coming forward, more people will come forward.” Schuman said she found just such a climate. She was well treated by task force investigators and the police in what could have been a much tougher process.
The mood Saturday at Hambacher Forest near Cologne was celebratory as thousands expressed relief over the court’s temporary halt to the clearing of Hambach Forest. The Muenster administrative court issued a temporary halt Friday after an environmental group argued the forest deserves protected status because of the bats that live there. Energy company RWE wants to expand its adjacent lignite strip mine. The standoff between police and protesters — some of whom have camped for months in tree houses — has made the ancient woodland a cause celebre for environmentalists. The German government wants to phase out coal in the long term.
Tropical storm likely to form, roll toward US MEXICO CITY — A disturbance off the Central American coast is likely to grow into a tropical storm that could bring heavy rains and flooding to parts of Mexico, Cuba and then the U.S. Gulf coast, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Saturday. Forecasters said Tropical Storm Michael is likely to form Sunday night and could reach the Gulf coast by Wednesday. A tropical storm warning was in effect for the western tip of Cuba, while a tropical storm watch has been called for the resort region of the Yucatan Peninsula from Tulum to Cabo Catoche. — Associated Press

In Fairbanks, building a home on permafrost is tricky By RAVENNA KOENIG Alaska’s Energy Desk
FAIRBANKS — A lot of houses in Fairbanks are built on permafrost, and there are techniques for building on that kind of ground that have been used for decades. But depending on the type of permafrost, there are unknowns about what will happen — even to those houses that have been built using best practices — as the permafrost thaws due to climate change. For one homeowner, that concern is front and center as he builds a house on what he calls some of the worst ground in Fairbanks. Ilya Benesch is a do-it-yourself kind of guy. He’s worked in construction for close to 30 years. And for the past 10, he’s been working on two large cabins — one to live in, one to rent — at the edge of a gully dotted with birch and black spruce trees. When Benesch bought this property back in 1999, he was pretty sure it had permafrost under it, though he didn’t know for certain. But he wasn’t intimidated by the idea of building on permafrost; as a carpenter he’d already had some experience with it. And the reasons to buy the land were compelling: it was spacious, relatively cheap, and only a few minutes from his parents’ house. “As I saw my parents aging, I saw a lot of value to being close by, and what was affordable in 1999 was north side of the hill property,” said Benesch. A commonly-cited rule of thumb in Fairbanks is that if a property is on a north-facing slope, it’s more likely to have permafrost under it. The permafrost in the Interior is what’s

called “discontinuous”: it can stretch hundreds of feet below the surface in some places and be totally nonexistent in others. There are a number of factors that determine whether there’s permafrost below: soil type, vegetation cover, elevation and sun exposure to name a few. Benesch started building in 2008. And a few years in he decided to get the soil drilled to get a sense of exactly what the permafrost looked like under the surface. The news he got was bad. “This shallow, warm, icerich permafrost with massive ice formations is one of the most difficult environments on which to construct a stable foundation,” said Benesch, reading from the drill report he got back. Basically, Benesch’s house is built on permafrost that’s relatively close to the thawing point — which is common for
Fairbanks — and is full of ice that will turn to water when it thaws. That could dramatically transform the land under his house, though he’s still not sure exactly what that would look like, especially since he’s on a hill. “There’s not a lot of resistance to this hillside starting to slide. if things thaw deep enough,” Benesch said. “I can’t get a clear answer from anyone as to whether that will happen or the ground will just drop straight down. I don’t think anybody can say.” But Benesch is perhaps one of the best people in Fairbanks to be in this position. For the past decade, he’s worked as a building educator at the Cold Climate Housing Research Center. That’s a Fairbanks-based nonprofit that researches building strategies for Arctic environments and provides public education. Benesch talks to homeown-
ers and contractors about exactly this kind of stuff: how do you build the best house you can on permafrost that’s expected to thaw? Benesch walks under the porch of the first cabin, and points to the foundation — one of the important design choices for building on permafrost. His consists of pilings made of steel pipe, 6 inches in diameter. Building on pilings is a common approach for constructing on permafrost; they anchor the house and loft it up so it doesn’t warm the ground underneath. When Benesch started building, he knew that 40 feet was the typical depth for pilings, so he went with that. “What I know now is that I probably should have driven to 60 feet,” he said. That’s really deep. He’s since retrofitted two additional 60-foot pilings that will be able to support the house if the others fail.

Around Alaska Kodiak struggles to sell unwanted former floating strip club KODIAK — The city of Kodiak is trying to get rid of what has been called a former floating strip club. The P/V Wild Alaskan vessel was impounded on Dec. 20 and has been held in the Kodiak Shipyard ever since, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Thursday. In August, the city began advertising the vessel as available for purchase by the highest bidder, but it did not receive any bids. City Manager Mike Tvenge said nobody wants the ship. “If you look at it, it’s in need of repair,” Tvenge said. “That’s part of the reason why it was pulled out of the harbor.” Harbormaster Derrik Magnuson said the lack of interest in the vessel is due to several, including the fact that it is a “crab buyback boat,” which means it’s not allowed to be used in commercial fisheries. This status limits it to use as a research boat or a pleasure craft. “Most people buying a boat like that, would want to buy it for fishing,” he said. Magnuson also pointed to another reason the vessel isn’t selling. “It’s not even federally documented anymore, it’s just got AK registration now,” he said. “It’s a harder process to get a vessel re-documented. That’s why no one ever lets their documentation lapse.” The few inquiries that the city received were made by individuals who were more interested in specific parts of the vessel, Tvenge said. While the future of the vessel remains uncertain, the city has been spending money to keep the vessel in the shipyard. Tvenge was unsure of the exact cost of keeping the vessel in the shipyard but said, “it’s thousands of dollars.”
Big Lake man gets 18 years for fatal shooting PALMER — An Alaska man accused of shooting a 16-year-old with a stolen 10mm Glock pistol has been sentenced. The Anchorage Daily News reports 21-year-old Damien Peterson, of Big Lake, was sentenced Thursday to 18 years in prison — with five suspended — and five years’ probation for fatally shooting Frankie Woodford. Six months before 16-year-old David Grunwald died of a gunshot wound, Woodford was killed by a shot to the chest. One of the teens charged with murder in Grunwald’s death, Austin Barrett, was in the room with Peterson the night Woodford died. Investigators say they reopened a review of Woodford’s death — previously considered an accidental shooting — after interviews for the Grunwald case provided new details. Peterson pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a deal that avoided a trial. — Associated Press

Right at home 1st-place Brown Bears take 2 from Steel By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
The Kenai River Brown Bears swept the Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel on Friday and Saturday in the homeopening weekend at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. Kenai River moves to 7-30-0 and stays in first place in the North American Hockey League Midwest Division, while Chippewa falls to 3-7-00. The Bears host the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the sports complex. “People that were here are Eagle River’s Zach Krajnik and teammates celebrate the second-period goal of Michael Sp- talking that this isn’t the Brown ethmann against the Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel on Friday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Bears hockey we’ve seen the last couple of years,” Kenai Complex.

River head coach Josh Petrich said. “This is a different group and a special group. They’ve still got a lot of improvements to make. But they don’t quit, they’ve got a lot of heart, and it’s infectious to be around.” The Bears won 4-0 on Friday and 3-2 on Saturday. Friday, Bears goalie Gavin Enright did the first period. His teammates took care of the rest after Kenai River was outshot 15-4 in the first period. Petrich knew his team would struggle with opening-night nerves. He told Enright to be ready. “I knew the guys would have the jitters,” Enright said after stopping all 28 pucks he saw. “I just stayed calm and controlled
the game. “After the first period, the guys took over.” The first period continues a disturbing trend for the Steel, losers of four straight. “I thought we outplayed them in the first period but didn’t come away with anything,” Chippewa head coach Al Rooney said. “That’s been the story of our season.” Just 1:18 into the second period, the Steel were whistled for a penalty. Although the Bears didn’t score, Petrich said the power play changed the game. “On that first power play, we got some possession and got our legs going,” Petrich said. “We skated. We didn’t skate in See BEARS, page B3

Stars return to state final
Soldotna dominates Palmer By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
A bold fourth-down call in the opening minutes of Saturday’s state football semifinal contest by the hometown Palmer Moose led to an early lead and some nervous looks by the Soldotna crowd. It could have set the tone for SoHi, which has seen some October scares in previous years, but Soldotna shrugged it off to score the next 41 points en route to a dominant 55-21 victory, cementing its place in next week’s Division II state championship final. It marks the seventh straight year for SoHi
making the title game. The Stars will face the Eagle River Wolves next Saturday for the Division II crown. Eagle River defeated Lathrop 30-24 in Saturday’s other semifinal. After getting on the board first with the 61-yard scoring run from junior Duston Corbin, Palmer either punted or turned the ball over on its next five drives while the Stars outscored the Moose 28-0 in the second quarter alone. SoHi scored on all six first-half possessions, and scored on every possession in the game except their final one that ended the contest. “Our team has faced adver- Soldotna junior Jersey Truesdell clears the Palmer defense for a long run in a Division II state semifinal game Saturday afterSee STATE, page B4 noon at Palmer’s Machetanz Field.

SoHi volleyball takes 2nd at Grizzly Invitational Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The Soldotna volleyball team finished second at the Grizzly Invitational on Saturday in Anchorage. “I thought we were really consistent throughout the weekend,” Soldotna coach Sheila Kupferschmid said. “I thought the kids played hard and together, and it was an encouraging weekend for SoHi volleyball.” The Stars were the only team from the Kenai Peninsula to advance to the Platinum Bracket, the tournament’s top bracket. Soldotna started by losing to Valdez and falling into the playback bracket.
There, SoHi defeated Kodiak, Wasilla and Valdez to reach the final. “The kids played very well in the semis to get into the final,” Kupferschmid said. “They were just steadfast, and I was extremely pleased they were able to overcome Valdez. It seemed like they had our number.” The Stars lost the final to Palmer. Kupferschmid said the Stars had to play more matches than the Moose, but gave credit to Palmer for playing very well in the title game. Holleigh Jaime was defensive player of the tournament and all-tournament for Soldotna, while Ituau Tuisaula also was all-tournament. Nikiski, Seward and Homer all
ended up in the Gold Bracket after pool play. The Bulldogs finished second in the bracket, losing to Eagle River in the final. Nikiski started with a victory over Monroe, then lost to Eagle River to fall into the playback bracket. There, the Bulldogs beat Monroe to make the championship. Nikiski’s Kaitlyn Johnson was named the best setter of the tournament, and also made the all-tournament team. Seward finished fourth by losing to Monroe, beating Homer, then losing to Monroe again. Homer was fifth, losing to Eagle River and then Seward. Seward’s Coral Petrosius was named the best hitter in the tourna-
ment, and also made the all-tournament team. Homer’s Brianna Hetrick also made all-tournament. Kenai Central finished fourth in the Silver Bracket. The Kardinals lost to Sitka and ACS. Friday, Soldotna won Pool A with a 6-1 record, while Nikiski was fourth at 4-3 and Homer was fifth at 3-4. In Pool B, Seward was fifth at 3-4 and Kenai Central was sixth at 2-5.

No. 19 Texas knocks off No. 7 Oklahoma on late FG By The Associated Press
DALLAS — Freshman Cameron Dicker kicked a 40-yard field goal with nine seconds left to give 19th-ranked Texas a 48-45 victory over No. 7 Oklahoma on Saturday.

Golf rolls on McGregor loses, brawl ensues at Birch Ridge B R T R G By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer
he senior men came out Monday at 10 a.m. to play their own game, plus fewest putts. The low net was Sid Cox with a 29. The greenie at the sixth went to Steve Hammarstrom, while Sid Cox put it closest to the pin at the eighth. Longest putt went to Dave Mathison and fewest putts, with 16, went to Darell Jelsma. The senior men will tee of at 10:30 a.m. Monday. The weather seems to be affecting our ladies, as only three showed up Tuesday. In their defense, I believe it was raining. Closest to the pin went to Rita Geller, low gross was Denise Cox, low net was Chiya Bazan and the mystery hole was won by Denise Cox. Ladies will tee off at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. BALL BUSTER TIP AND TUCK. That is what 15 men played on men’s night Wednesday. Description of the event is that the tee boxes were placed back as far as possible. For example, on No. 1 they teed off on the north side of the putting green. On No. 3, they teed off way back on the new clearedout area from the driving range mats, playing the hole as a par 5.

P at C owan The pins on all the greens were tucked to the side and back as far as possible. It’s unbelievable, but three teams tied for first, all shooting new par 36. The teams were made up of Bill Engberg, Robert Stiver and Steve Griglione; Roy Bird, Scott Sundberg and Kevin O’Fallon; and Monte Roberts, George Stein and Travis Robertson. In a chip-off Engberg, Stiver and Griglione took first and Roberts, Stein and Robertson took second. Robert Stiver took long drive, Kevin Downs got closest to the pin at the sixth and Bill Engberg at the eighth. Monte Roberts won the pure birdie on No. 3 (being played as a par 5). Wednesday, tee-off time will be at 5 p.m. due to early darkness. Birch Ridge Golf Course is the only course in the area still maintaining greens and fairways and still offering golf carts.

LAS VEGAS — Conor McGregor tapped out in the fourth round of his comeback fight at UFC 229 against Khabib Nurmagomedov, who then climbed over the cage and set off a brawl by scuffling with another fighter in McGregor’s corner on Saturday night. The wild scene occurred after McGregor (21-4) got caught in a choke by Nurmagomedov (27-0), who defended his lightweight belt with an impressive victory over the superstar who infamously attacked a bus carrying Nurmagomedov in Brooklyn last April. But the Russian champion then exacerbated several months of hostilities between the fighters’ camps. Nurmagomedov stepped away from the prone McGregor and immediately pointed at the Irishman’s corner, shouting and throwing his mouthpiece. The men in McGregor’s corner appeared to respond with taunts, and Nurmagomedov climbed over the fence
and fought with Dillon Danis, a Bellator welterweight who trains with McGregor. Meanwhile, two men entered the cage and sucker-punched McGregor, who defended himself before security personnel separated everyone. Nurmagomedov and McGregor both left the ring before the championship belt could be put around Nurmagomedov’s waist. UFC President Dana White said he feared a melee in an arena dominated by fans of McGregor. Before the post-fight madness, Nurmagomedov firmly asserted his grappling dominance over McGregor’s striking skill in the Irish superstar’s first MMA bout in 23 months. McGregor hadn’t been in a fight since losing his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather last year, and Nurmagomedov proved an insurmountably tough opponent for his comeback. The main event has been eagerly anticipated across the sport ever since McGregor threw a hand truck at a bus containing Nurmagomedov before a UFC show in Brooklyn last spring. McGregor was
furious about a confrontation between Nurmagomedov and a member of McGregor’s team earlier in the week. McGregor was arrested after seriously hurting two other fighters with broken glass from the attack, but Nurmagomedov shrugged it off and won the lightweight title by beating Al Iaquinta. When McGregor agreed to return to the UFC, he eagerly accepted Nurmagomedov as his opponent. Nurmagomedov and McGregor made no secret of their mutual loathing in the past few months, and the UFC used footage of McGregor’s attack on the bus to promote UFC 229, which could be the best-selling pay-per-view card in UFC history. McGregor’s dislike for Nurmagomedov likely fueled his decision to take a fight that created a difficult stylistic matchup for him. McGregor’s strength is his striking, while Nurmagomedov is one of the most dominant grapplers in UFC history. Four security guards separated the fighters while they didn’t touch gloves before the bout, and Nurmagomedov
went for a takedown in the opening minute while dominating the opening round. Nurmagomedov staggered McGregor with a right hand early in the second round, but McGregor got up and landed a flying knee. Nurmagomedov made another takedown and steadily improved his position throughout a dominant round, eventually standing and raining down blows on the prone McGregor. Nurmagomedov decided to stand and strike with McGregor in the third round, apparently unafraid of McGregor’s famed power. McGregor landed several significant shots, but Nurmagomedov took them and eventually reasserted control against the cage. McGregor did decent work in the fourth round before Nurmagomedov got control, climbed on McGregor’s back and finally submitted the former two-division champion. All three judges’ scorecards favored Nurmagomedov 29-27, with the champion winning the second round 10-8 on all three cards. McGregor won the third round on every card.

the first period, but we skated in the second and third.” With 12:46 left in the second period, Andy Walker split the defense and scored on assists from Alex Klekotka and JJ Boucher — the first of four assists for Boucher on the night. There were 10 penalties in the second period, and the Bears gained momentum with each special-teams situation. After Friday’s game, the Bears are tops in the league on the power play and 19th on the penalty kill, while Chippewa is 22nd on the power play and 21st on the penalty kill. “Our special teams have struggled on both sides of the puck,” Rooney said. “Our power play is pretty much nonexistent. It’s a big reason why we’ve struggled since opening weekend.” With 3:40 left in the second period, Boucher and Weeks jarred the puck loose and Spethmann raced down the ice for a short-handed goal. “Not many in this league are going to skate with him,” Petrich said. With the lead and confidence, the Bears were able to assert their authority over the Steel, the youngest team in the league, in the third period. “We haven’t learned to fight through adversity,” Rooney said. The Bears did plenty of that last year in posting the secondworst record in the league. This year, it’s different. “We’re strong and physical and old,” Petrich said, adding the Bears have yet to lose a game after leading after the first or second period. “It’s going to be tough for young teams to climb back in against us.” Just 1:49 into the third, Logan Ritchie scored on a nice snipe from the middle of the ice on assists from Boucher and Conroy. With 4:14 left, Spethmann punctuated the affair by ripping home a one-timer on the power play off passes from Markuss Komuls and Boucher. “That’s a goal in any league,” Petrich said. The defense then fought to keep Enright’s shutout when Chippewa went on the power play with 1:25 left. For Enright, it was his first shutout in 2 1-2 years, dating back to high school. “They knew I wanted the

shutout,” Enright said. “I fought for them and they fought for me. That’s what we have this year.” The attendance was 731, which Petrich said was fine for such a beautiful fall evening. ”The crowd was great,” he said. “I think that’s the loudest they’ve been since I’ve been here.” Saturday, the Bears twice came back from deficits for the win. In the first period, Kenai River was down 1-0 before Connor Scahill scored a power-play goal, assisted by Eagle River’s Zach Krajnik and Klekotka. Scahill fired in a onetimer from the top of the circle. Chippewa then had the lone goal in the second period for a 2-1 lead. With 10:04 to play, Justin Daly got the Bears even on assists from Soldotna’s Preston Weeks and Filip Karlsson. Petrich said it was another dirty goal caused by going to a tough area. Krajnik got the game-winner with 9:48 to play, assisted by Karlsson and Scahill. Again, Krajnik got to the net and scored after getting his own rebound. “It was a very gutty effort by 20 guys,” said Petrich, who also
commended the crowd. “We had a lot of scoring chances in the first and second period, but didn’t start connecting on them until the third period.” Enright had 20 stops for the win, while Jackson Bernard saves 23 in the loss. “He played well enough to get us the win,” Petrich said. “He had some shaky points and he wasn’t as sharp as last night, but when it’s all said and done, it’s the W that matters.” Friday Brown Bears 4, Steel 0 Chippewa 0 0 0 — 0 Kenai River 0 2 2 — 4 First period — none.

Yankees, Astros pick up victories in playoffs BOSTON (AP) — Aaron Judge helped chase David Price early by hitting a home run to a part of Fenway Park where balls rarely travel. Gary Sanchez did him one better. The Yankees catcher, who tested his manager’s confidence with a sub-.200 batting average and poor defense for most of the season, hit two homers, the second a 479-foot shot clear out of the ballpark that sent New York to a 6-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night and tied their AL Division Series at one game apiece. “Just a monster night,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “You know he’s capable of that. We all know he’s capable of that. That’s kind of what we’ve been waiting for to some degree, where he can take over a game on offense.” One night after Chris Sale earned his first career playoff victory, Price fell to 0-9 in 10 postseason starts and was booed off the field after five outs by a Fenway crowd hoping to see the Red Sox protect the home-field advantage they earned with an AL East title and franchise-record 108 regular-season wins. Instead, Masahiro Tanaka helped the wild-card Yankees claim the first victory by a road team in a Division Series game this year and gave them a chance to advance to the AL Championship Series with a pair of wins at home, where they are 7-0 over the past two postseasons. Games 3 and 4 are at Yankee Stadium on Monday and Tuesday nights, with Game 5 back in Boston on Thursday, if necessary. “We can’t wait,” Judge said. “We know our fans are waiting for us to come back home,
especially with the series tied 1-1.” Judge homered for the third straight playoff game, a 445foot shot that landed in the back row of seats above the Green Monster , high above the 379foot marker and about 10 feet to the left of the pole flying an American flag blowing straight out. It was the longest home run of the postseason — for about five innings. That’s when Sanchez aimed one in the same direction, sending it out of the park and onto Lansdowne Street. A few feet away, a plaque commemorates the six home runs in the 106year history of Fenway Park that have cleared the back wall to the other side of the flagpole. “Everybody knows that Judge has way more power than me,” said Sanchez, who joined Yogi Berra as the only catchers in Yankees history with multihomer postseason games. “But a homer is a homer. And if we have the opportunity to score runs like that, you know, even if it’s 300 feet, I’ll take it.” Sanchez also had a solo shot in the second inning to give New York a 2-0 lead. Price then walked back-to-back batters with two outs and gave up Andrew McCutchen’s RBI single on what could be his last pitch in a Red Sox uniform. The 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner — and two-time runner-up for the award — Price signed a seven-year, $217 million deal to come to Boston as a free agent before the 2016 season and has pitched like an ace at times in the regular season. But his postseason struggles have caused Red Sox fans to sour on him, and vice versa; he can opt out of his contract after the season, and if he can find something close to the four
years and $124 million he is owed, he might just take it. In all, Price was charged with three runs on three hits and two walks in 1 2/3 innings — the shortest playoff start of his career, and tied with Roger Clemens for the shortest in Red Sox postseason history. It was the first time in 299 regularseason and postseason starts that Price failed to strike out a batter. Tanaka allowed just three hits, including Xander Bogaerts’ solo homer, before leaving after five innings with a 3-1 lead. He struck out four and walked one. ASTROS 3, INDIANS 1 HOUSTON — Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole have been even more brilliant in the playoffs, keeping Cleveland’s powerful offense in check to give the Houston Astros a 2-0 lead in the AL Division Series. Cole struck out 12 and walked none, combining with two relievers on Houston’s second straight three-hitter in a 3-1 victory Saturday. “There’s no doubt we expect to be good, but this is a team effort,” Cole said. “So, we expect to keep our team in the ballgame. I don’t know about all the personal accolades or all the dominance or that kind of stuff, but we just want to put up a fight.” Marwin Gonzalez hit a goahead, two-run double and Alex Bregman homered for the second straight day. Next up: 2015 AL Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel will oppose Mike Clevinger in Game 3 of this best-of-five series on Monday in Cleveland. Francisco Lindor hit a thirdinning homer for the AL Cen-
tral champion Indians, who have three runs in the two games. Cleveland is batting .100 (6 for 60) following a regular season in which the Indians ranked second in the majors with a .259 average. Jose Ramirez, Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson have combined to go 1 for 22. “This is one of the best offenses in the league,” manager AJ Hinch said. “They can do damage. They can put long atbats together. (Cole) used all his pitches. He was creative. What else can I say? He was awesome.” Gonzalez put the Astros ahead in the sixth with the third of his four hits, an oppositefield double to right off usually reliable reliever Andrew Miller. “With a one-run lead, and with Gonzalez coming up the way he had swung the bat against him prior and Andrew’s history, I felt really good about it,” manager Terry Francona said. “Didn’t work out the way we obviously planned.” Bregman homered against Trevor Bauer in the seventh, and the World Series champions moved within a win of a second straight trip to the AL Championship Series. Cole allowed one run and three hits in seven innings, joining Tom Seaver (1973) as the only pitchers to strike out at least 12 batters without a walk in a postseason game. Ryan Pressly got two outs, and Roberto Osuna walked one in a four-out save. Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco allowed two runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings. Jose Altuve singled leading off the sixth but slipped as he left the batter’s box and was limping after reaching first base. Hinch and a trainer came out to check on Altuve, who re-
mained in the game. Bregman walked and one out later, Cleveland brought in Miller, the dominating left-hander who was MVP of the 2016 AL Championship Series but has been slowed by injuries this year. The switch-hitting Gonzalez turned around and hit righthanded. He fouled off a slider, then doubled on a fastball. Gonzalez, who hit a career-best .303 last season, has struggled this year hitting just .247. “It was a tough season for me on the offensive side ... but I’ve been putting in a lot of work and it felt good today,” Gonzalez said. Miller had allowed just one previous inherited runner to score in the postseason, on a sacrifice fly by Boston’s David Ortiz in Game 3 of the 2016 AL Division Series. Miller walked Carlos Correa on four pitches and loaded the bases with an intentional walk.
“I wasn’t good,” Miller said. “I wasn’t effective.” Bauer, a starter pitching in relief for the second straight day, retired Evan Gattis on a popout and struck out Martin Maldonado. Cole retired 13 of 14 after Lindor’s homer, striking out the side in the fourth. After fanning Ramirez on three pitches to end the sixth, Cole screamed and pumped both arms as he walked off the mound. Houston leadoff hitter George Springer went 1 for 4 with a single, ending a streak of five straight postseason games with a home run — one shy of Daniel Murphy’s record. Now he and the Astros head to Cleveland hoping to set a different kind of mark by becoming the second team in franchise history to reach the championship series in consecutive seasons. “We’re going to try to finish

sity before and we really regrouped and stopped the run from there on out,” said SoHi junior Hudson Metcalf. “We finished out strong.” Metcalf had a big day in tallying the “football cycle” — scoring a rushing touchdown, passing touchdown and hauling in two receiving touchdowns for four total. Metcalf notched 226 all-purpose yards of offense himself, most of that (132) as a receiver. Stars signal-caller Jersey Truesdell connected for three touchdown passes — two to Metcalf — for 189 yards, and ran for another 134 yards and two touchdown runs. The Stars racked up 318 team rush yards, and 542 total yards of offense. Metcalf’s 35-yard halfback option heave to receiver Cy Updike in the end zone with 43 seconds left in the second quarter capped a 41-point flurry for SoHi. “We worked on that in practice this week,” Metcalf said. “I like to show off my arm.” The Moose appeared to take some much-needed early momentum with a call to go for it on fourth-and-one on their own
39-yard line, which resulted in Corbin finding a seam and breaking loose for a crowdpleasing touchdown run that put Palmer up 7-0. Metcalf scored SoHi’s first points of the afternoon after that, finishing a seven-play drive with a 40-yard scramble through the Palmer secondary with 6:21 left in the first quarter. The drive was keyed by a crucial fourth-and-two midfield conversion by Aaron Faletoi, who ended with 46 rush yards for the day on nine carries. While Palmer’s first scoring run was made possible by a few missed assignments by the SoHi defense, Stars head coach Galen Brantley Jr. said the team recovered well from there. “Panic isn’t in the game plan for us,” he said. “We made a mistake like that after a missed play by one of our kids and the ball finds an open hole … but we just came back and our kids did their jobs.” An incomplete toss by Moose quarterback Luke Guggenmos on third down led to a Palmer punt on the home team’s next possession, and the Stars drove 61 yards in 10 plays score on a 1-yard keeper by Truesdell, putting SoHi into the lead 13-7 — a lead the Stars never gave up. “We proved that they don’t deserve to host a playoff
Today in History Today is Sunday, Oct. 7, the 280th day of 2018. There are 85 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 7, 1991, University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of making sexually inappropriate comments when she worked for him; Thomas denied Hill’s allegations. On this date: In 1777, the second Battle of Saratoga began during the American Revolution. (British forces under General John Burgoyne surrendered ten days later.) In 1858, the fifth debate between Illinois senatorial candidates Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas took place in Galesburg. In 1916, in the most lopsided victory in college football history, Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland University 222-0 in Atlanta. In 1949, the Republic of East Germany was formed. In 1954, Marian Anderson became the first black singer hired by the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York. In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy and Republican opponent Richard Nixon held their second televised debate, this one in Washington, D.C. In 1979, Pope John Paul II concluded his week-long tour of the United States with a Mass on the Washington Mall. In 1982, the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical “Cats” opened on Broadway. (The show ended its original run on Sept. 10, 2000, after a thenrecord 7,485 performances.) In 1985, Palestinian gunmen hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro (ah-KEE’-leh LOW’-roh) in the Mediterranean. (The hijackers killed Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish-American tourist, before surrendering on Oct. 9.) In 1989, Hungary’s Communist Party renounced Marxism in favor of democratic socialism during a party congress in Budapest. In 1992, trade representatives of the United States, Canada and Mexico initialed the North American Free Trade Agreement during a ceremony in San Antonio, Texas, in the presence of President George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney (muhl-ROO’-nee) and Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari. In 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay college student, was beaten and left tied to a wooden fencepost outside of Laramie, Wyoming; he died five days later. (Russell Henderson and Aaron McKinney are serving life sentences for Shepard’s murder.) Ten years ago: The misery worsened on Wall Street, as the Dow lost more than 500 points and all the major indexes slid more than 5 percent. In their second presidential debate, held at Belmont University in Nashville, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain clashed repeatedly over the causes and cures for the economic crisis. Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa of Japan and Yoichiro Nambu of the United States won the Nobel Prize in physics. Five years ago: A partial federal government shutdown lingered, rattling markets in the U.S. and overseas while a gridlocked Congress betrayed little or no urgency toward resolving the impasse. Americans James Rothman and Randy Schekman and German-born researcher Thomas Suedhof won the Nobel Prize in medicine for discoveries on how proteins and other materials are transported within cells. One year ago: Country music star Jason Aldean, who had been on stage at an outdoor concert in Las Vegas less than a week earlier when a gunman opened fire on the crowd, paid tribute to the victims and to the late Tom Petty by opening “Saturday Night Live” with Petty’s song, “I Won’t Back Down.” Protesters rallied across Russia in a challenge to President Vladimir Putin on his 65th birthday; heeding calls from opposition leader Alexei Navalny to pressure authorities into letting him enter the presidential race.

game,” Brantley Jr. said, referring to the Alaska School Activities Association decision to keep the Division II semis at Palmer High School for a third straight year. Guggenmos finished the day with 169 passing yards on 11for-20 efficiency. Truesdell was also able to haul in an interception late in the first half. Truesdell broke free for an 81-yard scoring rumble in the opening minutes of the second quarter to put the Stars up 21-7, following a two-point pass play to Zach Hanson. Guggenmos began to make things work on offense for the Moose on the ensuing drive, connecting with Levi Farris for 26 yards that preceded a SoHi penalty, leaving Palmer at SoHi’s 33. However, a dropped catch up the middle by Dawson Van Tassel on fourth down turned the ball back to the Stars, who drove back down the field for a 29-yard connection from Truesdell to a wide-open Metcalf. SoHi ended up scoring three times in the final 2:49 of the first half, including a pass play up the middle of the field to Galen Brantley III, who returned after two weeks on the bench for a knee injury to make his impact on the game. Palmer opened the third quarter with style, successfully converting a long onside kick that left the Moose on the Stars 23-yard line. Palmer scored on a short pass from Guggenmos

NO. 3 OHIO STATE 49, INDIANA 26 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Dwayne Haskins Jr. passed for a career-best 455 yards and school record-tying six touchdowns and Ohio State pulled away in the fourth quarter. A week after a gritty victory at Penn State, the Buckeyes (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) were forced to work hard by quarterback Peyton Ramsey and an Indiana offense that took advantage of plenty of early defensive mistakes. The Buckeyes didn’t get a handle on this one until Haskins hooked up with Terry McLaurin for a 17-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth, and then added a 30yard scoring pass to Binjimen Victor with seven minutes left.

The Irish (6-0) had minus-5 rushing yards and were facing second-and-12 from their own 3 when Williams took a handoff into the left side of the line and broke into the clear early in the third quarter, putting Notre Dame ahead 24-16. Williams had just been thrown for a 2-yard loss, prompting the sellout crowd at Lane Stadium to grow louder, begging for the kind of big play the program’s defense has made so often. Instead, it was Williams who made it. He added TD runs of 1 and 31 yards.
NO. 9 WEST VIRGINIA 38, KANSAS 22
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Will Grier threw four touchdown passes, and committed four turnovers, and West Virginia beat Kansas. West Virginia (5-0, 3-0 Big 12) has won its first five games for the second time in three seasons. The Mountaineers had no trouble moving the ball but Grier’s efforts to throw into tight coverage near the goal line cost his team plenty of points. The Heisman Trophy hopeful was intercepted three times in the first half either in the end zone or at the goal line, two of them by cornerback Hasan Defense. All three of NO. 22 FLORIDA 27, Grier’s interceptions occurred when NO. 5 LSU 19 West Virginia had driven inside the GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Lami- Kansas 15-yard line. cal Perine scored twice on short runs, including one after a trick NO. 10 WASHINGTON 31, play in the fourth quarter, and UCLA 24 Florida beat LSU.

Monthly Musings: October is full of history Every third year, the October full moon is called the Hunter’s Moon or Blood Moon. October 2018 falls on one of those years. There are a few notable holidays in October — the first being Columbus Day, which was changed to Alaska Indigenous Peoples Day in 2017. Alaska chose the second Monday of the month to celebrate the holiday. This year it falls on Oct. 8. Christopher Columbus never set foot in present day United States. It was time for the name to change, since the indigenous people were the first settlers. October’s second holiday

Natives is the largest statewide Native organization in Alaska. It’s run by 12 regional nonprofit and tribunal partnerships that run federal and state programs. One hundred and seventyeight villages, and 13 Native regional corporations make up its membership. It’s headquarters is in Anchorage. Another day observed is Oct. 31 — Halloween, which is a time of celebration and superstition. This is a way to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats. Here’s some October trivia: On Oct. 10, 1986, in Seward, there was record precipitation in a 24-hour
time frame of 15.05 inches. On Oct. 25, 1942, African American soldiers completed the last link of the Alaska Highway. On Oct. 28, 1988, international efforts to free two stranded whales in Barrow were a success. On Oct. 29, 1942, the Alaska Highway opened for travel. Also on this day, in 1958, Annette Island received the most precipitation in one hour — 1.05 inches. 98 percent of the state’s population was in one of these zones — now called Yukon time, which is one hour earlier than Pacific standard time (PST) and
The Recycling Bin 50 years of protecting rivers
four hours earlier than the Eastern standard time (EST). Parts of the Aleutian Islands west of Juneau observe Hawaii-Aleutian time zone. There are many things to do in October on the Kenai Peninsula. The Evening of Classics was hosted by the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra on Oct. 5. Whale watchers can watch grey whales as they migrate south from October to February. Although there are fewer people, nature is always available. October is notable for the turning of leaves, animals in rut, shorter days, longer nights and, of course,
the Northern Lights start dancing and temperatures starting dropping. I mentioned October’s moon being called the Hunters’ Moon — this is because when the moon is full, it’s good to hunt by. In this month, game is fattening and preparing for the coming winter. This is traditionally the time to fill freezers in preparation for winter. October’s moon is also called Blood Moon, because the moon has a pinkish tint to it, and hunters are hunting in preparation for winter. All months in the year in Alaska are spectacular, be safe and enjoy.
Learning for Life
On Oct. 2, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, aimed at protecting the natural, cultural, and recreational values of selected rivers. By the 1950s, decades of damming, development and diversion had taken their toll on our country’s rivers. In the 1960s, the country started to realize the damage we were inflicting on wildlife, the landscape, our drinking water and our legacy. As of August, (the most recent designation) the National System protects 12,734 miles of 209 rivers in 40 states and Puerto Rico; this is a little more then one quarter of 1 percent of the nation’s rivers. The Act is notable for safeguarding the special character of these rivers, while recognizing the potential for their appropriate use and development. It encourages river management that crosses political boundaries and promotes public participation in developing goals for river protection. On this the 50th anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, let’s look forward with renewed commitment to protecting our great heritage of beautiful waterways that bind our communities together.

Felling, limbing and bucking trees
Felling trees, bucking logs, and cutting firewood are popular autumn activities. However, not everyone necessarily knows all of the safety precautions that should be used when handling logs. According to statistics collected monthly by the Tree Care Industry Association, accidents with chainsaws are regular and deadly for the average person who sets out to do some cutting of logs and trees. There are some basic and helpful methods that can be learned quickly, to help make the use of chainsaws safer. Take extra care, and prevent accidents. Our Cooperative Extension Service publication, “How to Cut Down a Tree: Safe and Effective Tree Felling, Limbing and Bucking,” is available for free in our office. Your local Cooperative Extension Service is your yearround resource for a variety of topics, visit us today at: http://www.uaf.edu/ces/districts/kenai/ to find this publication and more or stop by and see us on K-Beach Road between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Dental cleaning for pets
PET PAL Dear Readers: Kevin C., via email, sent a picture of Mac, his saved-from-the-shelter cat, who likes to interrupt Kevin’s reading The (Fort Wayne, Ind.) Journal Gazette, including my column!
And then here comes Marlee, Mac’s older sister, also lying on the paper. Wife Marcia does cat adoptions as a volunteer every Thursday afternoon at Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control. To see Mac and Marlee, visit www.Heloise.com, and click on “Pet of the Week.” -- Heloise REPURPOSE OR RECYCLE? Dear Heloise: Settle an argument: Does using plastic grocery bags as trash-can liners count as recycling? It doesn’t go to recycling, but it saves a bag. -- Joe P., via email Joe, it’s not really recycling -- it’s repurposing: to adapt an item for its new use. Lots of people use the plastic bags as can liners. It’s a great idea! You also can return them to the store to be recycled, converting waste into a reusable item. Both are very useful endeavors! -- Heloise
Dear Readers: We asked for some hints on naming your pets. Here are some responses: “We name our dogs after our favorite sports teams. As a University of Oklahoma fan, we named our dog Boomer (from the OU chant ‘Boomer Sooner!’). We thought our dog was the only one until we went to the dog park. As we called ‘Boomer!’ seven dogs came running!” -- OU Fan, via email “Cats: I have had Pewter (solid gray) and Sweeney Todd (he tried to slash me when I put him in a carrier).” -- J.J., via email “I think a trend is naming a pet after a drink. My cousin named her orange cat after the orange-flavored Pimm’s. Another trend is giving your pet a rock band’s or star’s name, or a name from a popular song (like Zeppelin or ‘Maggie Mae’).” -- Alma, via email “Desert tortoise: Chomper!” -- Dan C., Canyon Country, Calif. Thanks for the feedback! -- Heloise

Man falls in love with unsuspecting best friend DEAR ABBY: I’m a man in my mid30s. For the past couple of years I’ve been in love with my best friend. She doesn’t know how I feel, and I know she doesn’t feel the same way about me. (She calls me the brother she always wanted.) I try hard to fight these feelings so our friendship can continue. She has been a huge part of my life, so losing her friendship would be devastating.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 7, 2018: This year you will find that your words carry more weight, starting late fall. You also might hear from others more often. Good news heads your way frequently. If you are single, you can get what you want -- just be sure you really want it. Take your time if dating. If you are attached, the two of you break patterns and become less divisive. You might make a purchase that will help you interact more effectively. LIBRA can be vague at times. 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 You could be dealing with a constant barrage of questions and requests. Others seem to seek you out. Your popularity soars. Read between the lines when dealing with a loved one. What this person isn’t saying could be relevant. Tonight: Defer to a specific loved one’s suggestion. This week: A new beginning becomes possible in a relationship. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your personality melts boundaries and allows you to flourish with greater ease. Your ability to bypass a problem emerges when facing a challenging loved one. Somehow, you manage to incorporate nearly everyone and also feel good about your plans. Tonight: Be positive. This Week: Fit in some networking. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Invite a couple of friends over for a late brunch or a barbecue. Unless you want to make your plans complicated, opt for something simple. Others care more about your company than anything else. Your energy finally seems to have returned. Tonight: Respond to a request. This Week: Make a plan to achieve a key goal. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Make calls and plans off the cuff. If you have already made plans, do not be surprised if you want to update them. A friend or loved one who is very controlling could switch gears and let go. Spend time with this person and enjoy his or her company. Tonight: Share exciting news! This Week: A change will be for the better. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have. You like quality, whether it’s an object you are buying or a meal out. Often, you overspend. Do not blame others for your love of indulgence. Stay on top of your budget. Tonight: Know that the good times don’t need to be expensive. This Week: Honor a need for more effective communication. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Use the input of others to rethink a decision. You understand that the more suggestions and opinions you receive, the broader your options will be. Get into a game of cards with

Dear Heloise: I’m scared -- my Chihuahua is having a PROFESSIONAL DENTAL CLEANING soon. What can you tell me about this? -- Heather R. in San Antonio Heather, try not to worry. Here’s what happens during a professional cleaning: The veterinarian will first make sure your dog is healthy. Then your dog will undergo anesthesia, while being monitored at all times. X-rays are taken to see if there are underlying problems. If a problem tooth is found? Measures can be taken, just like with our teeth. You’re doing the right thing -- a thorough cleaning can only be done at the veterinarian. Always ask the doctor any questions you have regarding medical procedures. Give your little Chihuahua a big Heloise hug! -- Heloise

your friends and/or loved ones. The atmosphere will lighten up as a result. Tonight: Do not overspend. This Week: Be aware of the financial implications of a longterm goal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HH If you want to spend time reading the Sunday paper or catching up on a favorite TV series, do just that. Others will notice that you are not around, and you will become even more desirable. Take your time deciding if you want company. Tonight: Consider making dinner for two. This Week: Speak your mind, knowing that you have an adoring listener. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH If you zero in on your priorities, you are likely to manifest them. Friends support you as you try to make a goal or dream happen. A sense of mischief floats through some plans, and you might not be able to resist it. Tonight: Make it an early night before you create too much trouble. This Week: The time has come to state your case to friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH A last-minute call involving a request for help could throw your plans into chaos. Being as good-natured as you are, you will pitch in. Those who made plans with you might be disconcerted. Know that you will have to make up for lost time. Tonight: Till the wee hours. This Week: A meeting will help your cause and draw supporters. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Note what is going on behind the scenes, and understand why it is happening. If this situation affects you, seize the opportunity to head in a new direction. You are able to make quite a difference in a loved one’s life. Tonight: Try some exotic cuisine, and take it from there. This Week: Be more aware of your image. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You will defer to a friend, relative or partner. You might not care what you do -- you’ll simply be happy to be with this person. The two of you will have a good time and maybe an important talk. Let this person dominate. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s dinner plans. This Week: Look at the big picture before you take action. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Allowing a loved one or dear friend to make plans for today is likely to give you a better idea of what this person wants and expects from a situation. Lighten up, and don’t take this person’s choices personally. You might hear more information than you want to. Tonight: Be a duo. This Week: Close relating draws out others.

Know Your Classmates
Mini Fact: Know Your Classmates Day is Friday, Oct. 26.
TM
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. The Mini Page talked with experts at Beyond Differences, an organization that works to stop bullying before it happens, about a program called Know Your ClassmatesTM. Although Know Your Classmates is a program for middle schoolers, its messages are important for elementary students to learn, too.
What is social isolation?
Some kids feel left out or invisible when they’re at school. They might feel lonely and different from everyone else. This is called social isolation. When you think about it, we’re all different from each other! What makes you, you? • Your family’s traditions • Your race • Your gender • The things you like to do • Your religion • What else? If you make a list of these and other parts of your identity, then compare it to another student’s, they might be very different. Or you might have a lot in common. But instead of being afraid of or mean to people who seem different, we can get to know them and learn about their backgrounds and traditions.
Our American society
You have probably already learned that some families have more money than others. Some people worship in a chuch, others in a mosque, and some not at all. Some kids in your school may have dark skin, or eyes shaped differently than yours. In the United States, we have a pluralistic (pler-al-IS-tic) society, where people from many different backgrounds live among one another. For some people, this causes conflicts. But people who have different identities can also share values, or beliefs, such as equality and freedom. • What positive or negative experiences have you and your family had living in your community? • Do some of those experiences make you feel excluded? Do others make you feel included? • Why should we talk about those experiences with other people? How can we learn from them?
Who belongs? Who doesn’t?
Have you ever been left out? How did that make you feel? The Know Your Classmates program asks kids to think about what it means to “belong.” For example: • Would you rather be part of the “in” group or be an outsider? • Do you go along with others who exclude certain classmates? • How would you feel after a week, a month or a whole school year of being isolated from others in your class?
What are stereotypes?
A stereotype is an idea that people have about a group or thing that may not be true. For example, some people think all kids with Asian ancestors are really smart. But sometimes stereotypes are hurtful. Sometimes people judge others unfairly based on race, gender or other characteristics before they even know the person. These judgments are called biases. • Do you think you’ve ever been stereotyped by others? Were the stereotypes positive or negative? • Do you have biases against certain people or groups? • How can you overcome your biases?

Eco Note We’re still in hurricane season. Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth. They form near the equator over warm waters of the Atlantic or eastern Pacific Oceans. When the wind speeds reach 74 mph, the storm is officially a hurricane. These storms are at least 50,000 feet high and around 125 miles across. The eye is around 5 to 30 miles wide. adapted from climatekids.nasa.gov

Attract more birds to your yard by ‘birdscaping’ Food, water and shelter are the basic requirements for attracting birds to your yard. But you can boost the number and variety of species that visit by taking an additional landscaping step: learning the birds’ preferences. “Birdscaping” plants should be chosen to provide food and shelter year round, said Leonard Perry, horticulture professor emeritus with the University of Vermont. “Native plants should be a major component, as they provide a huge food source for birds, especially insects which have coevolved with them,” Perry said. “Ninety-six percent of terrestrial bird species depend on insects — and lots of them.” Many landscapes now contain relatively few native plants, perhaps no more than 25 percent, he said. “A goal of gardeners should be to increase this percent, to perhaps as high as 75 percent native plants to 25 percent introduced plants,” Perry said. “Even a modest increase in the number of native plant species in a landscape can increase greatly the number of bird species and overall numbers of birds.” A variety of landscape plants is important when creating wildlife habitat. “Diversity breeds diversity, and it is a bigger relationship than just between bird and plant,” said Rhiannon Crain, project leader of The Habitat Network for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. “It is a ‘love triangle’ of sorts between plants, insects and birds.” Many migrating songbirds primarily eat insects, she said. That’s why they migrate; insect populations disappear during the cold months, so birds must move south to places where insects are always available. “That means the more of those kinds of plants you have around, the more likely you are to have a diversity of insects that specialize on them,” Crain said. “And more insects mean more kinds of food for more kinds of birds.” Plants supplying cover include dense varieties with many twigs providing nesting sites, plants of various heights, and groups of conifers for roosting and protection from chill winter winds. “Anything evergreen provides good shelter, but if it has a berry on it, all the better,” said Julie Janoski, plant clinic manager at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, about 25 miles west of Chicago. “For example, juniper berries are a favorite of cedar waxwings,” she said. “Many plants, such as juniper, crabapple and serviceberry, will attract a wide variety of birds.” And don’t forget the accessories. Birds also need water and protected places to live, especially in urban areas where such surroundings may be lacking. Water fixtures, feeders, deadfalls and snags, small brush piles and tree groves will keep birds in the vicinity. “Adding water, especially moving water, to a landscape is the fastest way to increase the diversity of birds you see out in the open in your yard,” Crain said. “Species that won’t come to a feeder will come to water.” Birds look for safe stopping spots as they migrate through, she said. “An individual yard prepared with thoughtfulness and care can make the difference to an exhausted bird who needs a safe place to rest,” Crain said.
ASK A DESIGNER: Creating the perfect kitchen island By MELISSA RAYWORTH Associated Press
Interior designer Abbe Fenimore knew that adding a kitchen island was one of the most important decisions she’d make in remodeling her 1940s-era home in Dallas. A well-designed kitchen island can offer storage space, a work surface, comfortable seating — even a cooktop or spare sink. But like so many aspects of kitchen design, it needs to be planned with extra care. An item this large and central isn’t something you’ll want to replace within just a few years. So Fenimore and her husband created a cardboard island in their kitchen with precise dimensions to live with it before committing. They tinkered with the details on its size and location. They debated which features were necessary, and which were too much of a splurge or took up too much space. In the end, that island “has become the literal hub in our home for socializing,” Fenimore says. We’ve asked Fenimore, founder of the design firm Studio Ten25, and two other interior designers — Los Angeles-based Betsy Burnham and New York-based Jenny Kirschner — for their thoughts on great kitchen-island design and trends.
MAP OUT THE DETAILS Because careful planning is so important, Burnham suggests working with a designer on kitchen-island design or finding resources online for drawing up a floorplan. “You’re going to need about 3 feet of space around it — at least 3,” she says. Homeowners sometimes end up with too crowded a kitchen if they choose an island that’s too large. “It shouldn’t literally be an island off by itself,” Burnham says, “but it shouldn’t be too close to perimeter countertops either.” Other important questions: How many people do you want to seat? Leave plenty of depth for people’s legs when they sit on bar stools or seats at your island. And do you want one level or two? Burnham loves the clean lines of one level surface. But Kirschner sometimes designs an island with two levels — one at counter height for cooking prep and a lower level at table height, so you can sit in chairs rather than bar stools. Families with young kids who worry about little ones falling off bar stools often love this option, Kirschner says.
SPECIALTY STORAGE Some of Fenimore’s favorite elements are deep, pull-out drawers for pots and pans, and drawers with mechanisms that lift a mixer or other small appliance up and out for easy use. Also: drawers designed to hold containers of spices, and deep drawers holding metal containers for serving utensils, as you might see in a restaurant kitchen. “A lot of people underestimate storage needs,” Fenimore says, so really think about how you cook and what you use. Kirschner also suggests considering what you might want to store that isn’t technically a “kitchen” item. Her island includes drawers for her children’s art supplies, because the island is where they do arts and crafts projects. Islands often have closed storage, but some people prefer some open shelving.

RIGHT AT HOME: Heavy metal in the kitchen By KIM COOK Associated Press
Cast iron, once a common material for pots and pans, has tended in recent years to be used most visibly by either pro chefs or campers. Now it’s trending again in this fall’s kitchenware product previews. Options range from basic skillets to grill pans to pots both diminutive (for sauces) and expansive (for stews and soups). Chef Kevin Korman is about to open his new restaurant, Whitebird, in the Edwin Hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee. On his menu: fondue, baked eggs and a savory Dutch pancake, all prepared using cast iron pans. “Our cuisine is defined as Progressive Appalachian,” Korman says, “and cast-iron cooking played a large role in the history of Appalachia.” The Tennessee Valley is rich in iron ore, so companies like Lodge Cast Iron set up home there. Korman will be using Lodge products in his kitchens, but aside from supporting a local maker, the material’s performance is what he cares about. “Not only does cast iron retain heat better than anything else, the distribution of heat is really what makes it a winner,” Korman says. “Every part of the pan gives off an equal amount, so you don’t end up with certain areas that burn while others are still waiting to get some color. This was a big consideration when we were developing dishes for the menu.” Korman recalls meals prepared on cast iron at his grandmother’s house, and he has carried on the tradition with his own family. “I have several sizes that I use daily at home for just about everything,” he says. “Both of my
daughters love to help me cook, so I hope to hand the pans down to them as they get older.” Beyond durability, cast iron’s big selling point is the heat retention that Korman mentioned. But bear in mind that it doesn’t heat evenly initially, so always let the pan come to the needed temperature on the burner before adding ingredients. That way, you’ll get a nice crisp sear and a consistent cook with your cast iron. New finishing methods are improving the wearability and performance of cast iron. Today, makers like Finex in Portland, Oregon smooth and polish the pans’ interiors so that eggs and sauces don’t stick. An ergonomically designed, coiled-spring, wrapped-steel handle stays cooler than traditional handles, and the skillets are octagonal, making pouring and stirring easier. Cast-iron lids provide a flavor seal for steaming, simmering and braising. The Museum of Modern Art’s gift shop has a cast-iron item this season: the Railway Dutch Oven, made in Holland out of recycled iron railway ties. A built-in thermometer helps monitor cooking progress, and the tool can be used stovetop or oven. Williams-Sonoma stocks the French brand Staub: There’s a red or blue-enameled two-handled skillet that goes nicely from stovetop or oven to table, and a glass-lidded braiser in black, grenadine or sapphire. Also at the retailer: a little iron saucepot with a platform base, designed to use on grills. It comes with a silicone-handled, mop-headed basting brush for glazing barbecued foods. Seasoning is key to optimizing cast iron’s performance; it helps “cure” the iron so food doesn’t stick, and over time helps impart layers of flavor. To season a new pan yourself, lightly wash it as directed, then add a tablespoon of oil and mas-

sage it thoroughly into the iron, wiping any excess with a paper towel. Place the pan in an oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and let it “bake” for about an hour. Remove and wipe off any excess oil before using or storing. You can buy pre-seasoned pans, which just need a little refresh once in a while. Williams-Sonoma, Sur La Table and Crate & Barrel all carry several of Lodge’s pre-seasoned cast-iron pieces. But it’s still a good idea to refresh the season-
ing if you use your pans often. It can even be done stovetop: Heat the pan until it’s hot, swab some oil into it, then let it cool. While some people prefer not to use soap and water to clean cast iron, thinking it removes the oil coating, Serious Eats’ chief culinary consultant Kenji Lopez-Alt says it’s fine to do so. “The one thing you shouldn’t do? Let it soak in the sink,” he says. “Try to minimize the time it takes from when you start cleaning to when you dry and re-season your pan.”

Zero Waste households winnow their trash down to almost nil By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press
Less may be more, but zero is the best of all — at least where contributing to landfills is concerned. A small but growing number of households are joining what has become a bona fide movement: Zero Waste. While their goal of producing no trash at all may remain elusive, some Zero Wasters do come close, winnowing their household waste down to a tiny collection of non-recyclable and non-compostable items, so little that a year’s trash can fit into a shoebox or a Mason jar. Zero Wasters help each other by sharing advice on blogs and in books, over a dozen of which have recently come out on the topic. Tips might include where to shop to avoid unwanted packaging, and where to recycle a wide range of items that most people just toss in the waste bin. “It may be too extreme for a lot of people, but even if you can cut your trash down by even 20 percent, you’ll gain 80 percent of the benefits, like saving time and money for experiences instead of shopping for unnecessary stuff that will just clog up landfills,” says Bea Johnson , author of “Zero Waste Home: The Ultimate Guide to Simplifying Your Life by Reducing Your Waste” (Scribner). “It’s about a simpler life based on being, not having,” she says. Johnson says that minimizing shopping has meant her family can afford to go on adventures like scuba diving trips; that makes it easier for her sons to accept wearing only used clothing. Buying only used clothes has contributed to cut-
ting their household budget by 40 percent, she says. “We can get most brands on eBay and request that they be sent to us without any non-recyclable packaging. And often the clothes and shoes are almost like new,” says Johnson, who started writing about her zerowaste efforts in 2008, when the movement was still young. Elizabeth Graves, editor-inchief of Martha Stewart Living magazine, says Zero Waste is “definitely” a movement at this point. “We have found that millennials in particular are incredibly mindful about how they live, and living with purpose. And that’s why Zero Waste is really speaking to so many people,” Graves says. “More and more people are showing that while it’s intimidating at first, it can be done.” The magazine’s Change the Day series recently focused on “Zero Waster” Lauren Singer of Brooklyn. Inspired by Johnson, Singer started her own blog, Trash is for Tossers, with tips on how to reduce waste, and even an online store, Package Free Shop, featuring only sustainable products that need not end up in the trash and that can be delivered with minimal — and fully recyclable — packaging. Many businesses have begun trying to reduce packaging and making it more eco-friendly. “I won’t sell anything that has packaging tape or plastic,” Singer says. She claims she’s now able to fit six years of trash into a single Mason jar. “I realized that I can make a huge difference even as one individual,” she says. “It’s empowering.” The mantra of Zero Wasters is Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Re-

cycle and Rot, adding a couple more “r’s” onto the classic three. They refuse disposable containers and straws at restaurants, and have made an art form of approaching store managers and others to request that food be wrapped in paper or put in glass containers they’ve brought from home. Amy Korst, author of “The Zero Waste Lifestyle: Live Well by Throwing Away
Less” (Ten Speed Press), notes that once food is buried under plastics and other items in a landfill, it no longer composts as it normally would. That’s why it’s so important, she says, to dispose of food and other compostable waste separately from the rest of the trash. Each community recycles items differently, so the first step is to check with your local
sanitation department to learn what, exactly, can be recycled and how. “You might be surprised at the things that can be recycled,” Korst says. There are also a growing number of online resources to help figure out where unwanted objects can go. Korst’s book features many easy ways to begin reducing your trash, like cutting down on
single-use items, particularly those made of plastic. It lists resources for finding non-landfill homes for things as diverse as cooking oil, batteries, ink cartridges, formal dresses, gift cards and six-pack rings from soda cans. “We’re not crazy hippies. We’re normal families with houses and kids and cars, and this is the way of the future,” says Johnson.
Studies in healthy older people aim to prevent Alzheimer’s By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer
PHOENIX — It may be too late to stop Alzheimer’s in people who already have some mental decline. But what if a treatment could target the very earliest brain changes while memory and thinking skills are still intact, in hope of preventing the disease? Two big studies are going all out to try. Clinics throughout the United States and some other countries are signing up participants — the only studies of this type enrolling healthy older people. “The excitement in the Alzheimer’s field right now is prevention,” said Dr. Eric Reiman, executive director of the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Phoenix, which is leading the work. Science so far has failed to find a drug that can alter the progression of Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia; 146 attempts have failed over the last decade, a recent industry report found. Even drugs that help remove the sticky plaques that clog the brains of people with the dis-
ease have not yet proved able to stave off mental decline. It may be that they were tried too late, like lowering cholesterol after someone has suffered a heart attack whose damage can’t be undone, Reiman said. “What we have been learning, painfully, is that if we really want to come up with therapies that will modify the disease, we need to start very, very, very early,” said Dr. Eliezer Masliah, neuroscience chief at the National Institute on Aging. His agency is funding the prevention studies with the Alzheimer’s Association, several foundations, and Novartis and Amgen, makers of two experimental drugs being tested. The goal is to try to block the earliest steps of plaque formation in healthy people who show no symptoms of dementia but are at higher risk for it because of age and a gene that makes it more likely. To participate, people must first join GeneMatch, a confidential registry of folks interested in volunteering for various Alzheimer’s studies who
are ages 55 to 75 and have not been diagnosed with any mental decline. They are checked for the APOE4 gene, which doesn’t destine someone to develop Alzheimer’s but raises that risk. About one in four people have one copy of the gene and about 2 percent have two copies, one from each parent. More than 70,000 people have signed up since the registry began three years ago, said Jessica Langbaum, one of the Banner study leaders. “Most of them have been touched by the disease personally,” either by having a family member or close friend with it, she said. Langbaum’s 67-year-old mother, Ivy Segal, gave a DNA sample through a cheek swab and joined the registry in August. Her father was a patient at Banner and died of Alzheimer’s in 2011 at age 87. Watching him go from a mildmannered man whose smile could light up a room to what he was like when he died was devastating, she said. Being in GeneMatch doesn’t necessarily mean
you’ll find out if you have the gene — folks with and without it may be contacted about various studies. But to be in one of the two prevention studies, people must agree to learn their APOE4 status and have at least one copy of the gene. Participants get periodic brain scans and memory and thinking tests every six months. They are given experimental drugs or placebo versions of them for several years. One study is enrolling people with two copies of the gene. They are given either shots every few months of a drug intended to help the immune system clear plaque from the brain or daily pills of a drug intended to prevent first steps of plaque formation, or placebo versions of these experimental treatments. The other study is in people who either have two copies of APOE4 or one copy of the gene plus evidence on brain scans of plaque starting to build. They will get one of two doses of the drug to prevent plaque formation or placebo pills. Larry Rebenack, 71, of the Phoenix suburb of Surprise,

Arizona, joined GeneMatch in August. “I have a lot of friends and acquaintances I’ve seen deteriorate,” including one who started blowing through stop signs on a route to a golf course they had safely traveled for years, and another who forgot not only where he had parked his car but even what kind of
car it was, Rebenack said. “It’s a disease that takes a little part of you away each day.” Rebenack has decided to learn whether he has the gene if researchers give him the chance to find out. “It’s like any other piece of information. It helps you plan your life and you owe it to all your loved ones, too.”

Hotels try their hand in home-sharing By DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Business Writer
Travelers sometimes want a cookie-cutter room in a downtown hotel, and they sometimes want a cozy Tuscan farmhouse to share with friends. Hotels have always been good at providing the first one. Now, they’re trying to figure out how to provide the second — and blunt the growth of competitors like Airbnb. But they’re having mixed success. Marriott said Tuesday it’s expanding its six-month-old home-sharing pilot in London to three additional European cities. On the same day, Hyatt announced it was pulling out of a money-losing collaboration with luxury home-sharing company Oasis. Analysts say hotels are wise to experiment. Airbnb now has 5 million listings on its site, up 25 percent from a year ago. By comparison, Marriott grew 5 percent last year to 1.3 million rooms. In some markets, like New York and Miami, studies indicate that home-sharing is already eroding hotel profits. But it’s not yet clear how far hotels are willing to expand into home-sharing, which challenges their traditional business models. It costs more to clean homes scattered in various neighborhoods than rooms at a central location, for example. The barriers are so great that at least one major hotel company — Hilton — is giving home-sharing a pass for now. The company’s CEO, Chris Nassetta, says the quality, consistency and amenities that Hilton customers expect are best provided in hotels. Other hotel companies, like Marriott, say they can bring order and standards to the chaotic home-sharing market. Hotels promise perks they say Airbnb can’t match: fully vetted properties, fluffy white towels and popular loyalty programs that let members use points to book homes. “The lines are beginning to blur, and depending on what kind of trip it is, sometimes a home feels better than a hotel,” said Jennifer Hsieh, Marriott’s vice president of customer experience.
Marriott began testing home rentals in London in the spring. This week, it’s expanding that pilot program — called Tribute Portfolio Homes — to Paris, Rome and Lisbon. Marriott says the program will now include 340 homes. Hotels aren’t necessarily luring different customers with their home-sharing options. Instead, they’re finding that existing customers want more options, says Steve Caron, vice president and head of vacation rentals for Comfort Inn parent Choice Hotels, which has partnered with RedAwning, a company that oversees 20,000 rental properties. Take Craig Sowerby, an author and freelance travel writer based in Barcelona, Spain. He’s a Hyatt loyalty member and usually stays in hotels, but he decided to try an Oasis apartment for a one-month trip to Buenos Aires earlier this summer. There were some hiccups. He had to pay upfront, months in advance, for the full $1,745 cost of his stay. He got fresh towels and sheets weekly, but there was no other cleaning. The WiFi didn’t work. On the plus side, he said, he earned credits toward his elite Hyatt status as well as points for future stays. The apartment was also far nicer than the Airbnb he subsequently rented in another part of Argentina. But he thinks it will be a challenge for hotel chains to deliver the same standard of service in shared homes. “If the hotel chains end up simply offering a ‘more expensive Airbnb,’ then their potential market will be limited to those of us who are points or elite status obsessed,” Sowerby said. For its part, Hyatt invested $22 million in Oasis in 2017 but in the second quarter of this year, it wrote off its investment as a loss, saying regulatory hurdles in some cities were limiting Oasis’s growth. On Tuesday, vacation rental management company Vacasa bought Oasis and Hyatt ceased its affiliation, although Vacasa is honoring reservations that Hyatt members already made. In a statement, Hyatt said it recognizes that customer demand for alternative accommodations
remains strong, and it may discuss a future tie-up with Vacasa. Onefinestay — a luxury home rental company bought by AccorHotels in 2016 — offers properties like a three-bedroom villa on Maui for $975 per night. But AccorHotels took a similar $285 million charge in the second quarter, primarily due to losses at Onefinestay. AccorHotels also said it believes home-sharing needs to be part of its portfolio, but the business hasn’t grown as planned. Maggie Rauch, senior director of research at the travel consulting firm Phocuswright, says making home-sharing profitable will be a challenge for hotels. “Does it make sense for Marriott to build a new Marriott around this flexible shared space? Is a hotel company going to buy a brownstone in Brooklyn?” she said. For now, Marriott’s exposure is limited. It partnered with Hostmaker — a U.K.-based homesharing management company — which scouts homes and makes sure they meet Marriott’s standards. Marriott only takes a cut for homes that are rented through the Tribute site. But Hsieh said home-sharing does have some financial advantages. For example, Marriott has found that home-sharing customers are generally leisure travelers who stay twice as long as typical hotel customers. Hotels can also charge more for entire homes. Tribute offers a three-bedroom home with a full kitchen, three bathrooms and a balcony in London’s Kensington neighborhood for $956 per night plus a $129 cleaning fee. It’s around the corner from the London Marriott Kensington, where a guest room with a bathroom and two queen beds costs $330 per night. Nearby, Airbnb lists a threebedroom apartment with a basement-level entrance for $782 per night plus a $169 cleaning fee and a $234 service fee. As hotels continue to experiment, the pressure from homesharing sites isn’t going away. In fact, Airbnb is making hotellike moves of its own.

In late September, it added rooms from 50 boutique hotels in Thailand to its platform through a partnership with a Thai hotel association. Last year, it bought Luxury Retreats, a high-end home-sharing site. And it’s trying to standardize what guests can expect with a new designation called Airbnb Plus for properties that pass a quality inspection.
Chris Lehane, Airbnb’s policy director, says Airbnb considers online travel agents like Expedia its main rivals, not big hotel companies. The need for accommodations is so vast that Airbnb and hotels will continue to coexist, he says, but Airbnb will do better at providing unique places. But hotels aren’t giving up yet. Daniel Mount, an associ-
ate professor of hospitality at Pennsylvania State University, says they should continue to dabble in home-sharing even if it doesn’t promise big profits. “I don’t think five years from now, hotels want to look back and say, ‘Wow, we should have done that five years ago,’” Mount said.
Learn about the causes of adult hearing loss Hearing loss is quite common and can impact people’s lives in profound ways. Although there are some treatments that can improve one’s ability to hear and communicate, many people are interested in learning about the ways they may be able to prevent hearing loss in the first place. Medical experts from the American Speech-LanguageHearing Association advise that hearing loss can be caused by different factors. Learning about these causes can help individuals make smart decisions at a young age to prevent future hearing loss when possible. In certain circumstances, hearing loss may be unavoidable. In such instances, audiologists, or doctors specializing in hearing, can help.
Conductive hearing loss Conductive hearing loss refers to problems with the ear canal, ear drum or middle ear and its bones, states the Hearing Loss Association of America. Some of the causes

Some find success with short-term rentals in Houston area By DIANE COWEN Houston Chronicle
HOUSTON (AP) — The kitchen of Lily Lazarus’s home near Bellaire is sparkling: There’s not a smudge on her new stainless steel appliances, and the white counters and subway tile and gray cabinets look HGTV ready. The Houston Chronicle reports everything here in this three-bedroom home is designed with a different kind of resident in mind: short-term renters. Lazarus, like a growing number of Houston area residents, earns extra money renting out two homes to visitors through websites like Airbnb. com, VRBo.com and Home Away.com. When Lazarus divorced in 2010, she needed a career with flexibility because she had children who were 4 and 6 then. She got her real estate license and started selling homes. As she took clients through homes and urged them to see new potential, she saw some herself. So she bought a home in Maplewood, fixed it up and started renting it out. It was so successful so quickly that she bought a second. With both constantly booked at $140 to $200 a night, she bought a third, which is under renovation now. Not only does Lazarus increase her own income through Airbnb, she taps into a growing crop of potential hotel guests looking for lower-cost alternatives. What once was a way for people to earn a little side money is becoming an important part of their income. People who didn’t like the prospects of being a landlord are embracing the idea of running a different kind of inn. Even the real estate market is affected — the garage apartment or guest house is more popular than ever — making home buying more accessible to those who can’t afford mortgage payments without the extra income. Airbnb may be more popularly known, but it’s far from the only website that helps people manage home or room rent-
als. Airbnb lists whole-home rentals, vacation homes and extra bedrooms for those who don’t mind staying in a home when its owners are there, too. Sites like VRBO or Home Away — which are owned by the same company — only handle whole-home rentals. In 2017, about 162,000 people booked lodging with 3,700 homeowners in Houston through Airbnb. On average, they earned about $3,700 a year doing it. That’s up from 92,000 bookings in 2016. Adam Annen, a spokesman for VRBO and HomeAway, said that listings in the Houston area have increased by about 150 percent, and bookings have doubled in each of the past three years, with the biggest spike in 2016, when listings grew by 551 percent in anticipation of travelers coming for the 2017 Super Bowl. Through Airbnb alone, home and room rentals brought in $4 million from 8,200 visitors for Super Bowl week. Annen said that Houston HomeAway homeowners earned an average of $33,062 last year, with the Midtown/Museum District sites getting the most — an average of $44,496. Just as Lazarus is building rental revenue into her income base, Houstonian Sindi Sonnier is, too. Inspired by her daughter’s own rental management business in Arizona, Sonnier and her husband, Michael, rent their 3,300-square-foot Montrose townhome for $165 to $250 a night via Airbnb when they travel, and she has six other full-time rentals in Arizona she uses for the business she started herself. So far she’s only rented her Houston home a handful of times, but the Sonniers also have a home on Lake Houston, and when they’re done with Hurricane Harvey repairs, she may rent that out, too. Their daughter started her own business managing vacation rentals for friends in Arizona and now operates the largest privately owned vacation management company in that state. “As her company grew, we saw the opportunity too, and I started investing in vacation

properties and renting them,” said Sonnier, a Louisiana native who has lived in the Houston area on and off for 22 years. “My daughter started traveling for work and rented her home, and it completely covered the cost of owning her home. . It was a great way for her to pay for a home and not be house poor.” For both Lazarus and Sonnier, renters have been people in need of a place to stay that’s more affordable than a hotel. Some have traveled to the city for business, others for family events or short vacations. Sonnier and Lazarus agreed that how their homes look are key to getting rented. Since potential renters see photos before they book, homeowners know they need to show a hotel-like experience: stylish decor, uncluttered rooms and amenities they’d have in a hotel. Lazarus said she buys new sheets and towels every two months and leaves water, a bottle of wine and some treats
with a hand-written note for guests. Local Realtors say the potential for rental income makes people look at the real estate market differently and makes home ownership a possibility for some. Yvonne Bonner, a Realtor with Keller Williams Preferred, said her clients are all investment minded. But not only do they want to find property that will increase in value, they frequently inquire about its ability to generate income. “If they’re first-time homebuyers, typically what they’re looking for is a single-family home with a garage apartment. Or, if it doesn’t have a garage apartment, there’s room that they can build one — some type of property with an income property in their backyard,” Bonner said. That’s a big issue for millennials, she said, an age group not always financially prepared for homeownership.
One was Drew Collier, a 33-year-old Houstonian who bought his first property — a Heights home that had a garage apartment — for its income potential. More recently, Bonner helped him buy a Third Ward duplex. One half has a long-term renter, and the other half is listed on Airbnb. Collier said that the rental income from the Heights home — now about $24,000 a year — paid for an extensive remodel of that home and earned enough money to buy the second property. His goal is to make $2,000 a month on the Airbnb listing — it runs $65-$100 a night — to cover the mortgage and maintenance. While inside-the-Loop rentals may revolve around attending events or business travel, there are also vacation homes in Houston and Galveston. Some secondhome buyers hope that their vacation homes can help pay for themselves.
“We have a listing under contract right now and one of their three questions is, ‘Do deed restrictions prevent shortterm rentals?’” said Keith Owens, a Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Green in Clear Lake. “The question always arises, particularly in waterfront and higher-end waterfront properties.” Owens said that for waterfront property or with access to water, about half of the potential buyers inquire about the ability to rent the home, and the queries have increased mostly in the past year. “Even my wife and I have looked at a second home, a lake home a couple hours away, maybe on Lake Livingston or Crockett, and that is one of the things we’ve considered as well. Will they allow it and how much could we get for it? It’s more or less income driven,” Owens said. “In some cases it doesn’t just pay the mortgage, it makes you money.”
Therapy dogs can spread superbugs to kids, hospital finds By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK — Therapy dogs can bring more than joy and comfort to hospitalized kids. They can also bring stubborn germs. Doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore were suspicious that the dogs might pose an infection risk to patients with weakened immune systems. So they conducted some tests when Pippi, Poppy, Badger and Winnie visited 45 children getting cancer treatment. They discovered that kids who spent more time with the dogs had a 6 times greater chance of coming away with superbug bacteria than kids who spent less time with the
animals. But the study also found that washing the dogs before visits and using special wipes while they’re in the hospital took away the risk of spreading that bacteria. The results of the unpublished study were released Friday at a scientific meeting in San Francisco. One U.S. health official said the findings add to the growing understanding that while interactions with pets and therapy animals can be beneficial, they can also carry risk. “Whether covered in fur, feathers or scales, animals have the potential to carry germs that make people sick,” said Casey Barton Behravesh of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Pet therapy can help people recover from a range of health problems. Past studies have shown dogs or other animals can ease anxiety and sadness, lower blood pressure and even reduce the amount of medications some patients need. But there have been episodes of the superbug MRSA riding around on healthy-looking therapy dogs. MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, often live on the skin without causing symptoms. But they can become more dangerous if they enter the bloodstream, destroying heart valves or causing other damage. Health officials have tied MRSA to as many as 11,000 U.S. deaths a year.
The bacteria can spread in daycares, locker rooms and military barracks, but public health efforts have focused on hospitals and nursing homes. The Baltimore study looked at 45 children who interacted with the four dogs — petting, hugging, feeding or playing with them — over 13 visits in 2016 and 2017. Among kids who had no MRSA, the researchers found the superbug on about 10 percent of the samples taken from those kids after the dog visits. They also found MRSA on nearly 40 percent of the samples from the dogs. The researchers also determined that the more time someone spent with the animals, the greater the chance of ending up with the bacteria.
The researchers think the dogs were generally clean of MRSA when they first came to the hospital, but picked it up from patients or others while they were there, said one of the authors, Meghan Davis. “Our hypothesis is it’s really person-to-person transmission, but it happened through contact with the fur,” said Davis, a Johns Hopkins public health researcher and veterinarian. Under hospital protocols, therapy dogs must be bathed within a day of a visit and are checked for wounds or other health problems. Children who see them are supposed to use hand sanitizer “but that wasn’t strictly enforced,” said Kathryn Dalton, another one of the researchers.
Later in the study, the researchers asked the dogs’ owners to bathe the animals with a special shampoo before the visits. They also had the dogs patted down every five to 10 minutes with disinfecting wipes at the hospital. Those steps dramatically decreased the bacteria level on the dogs, Dalton said. She hopes further study will show that such cleanings can reduce any risk of superbug infection. “I really had the opportunity to see how important these dogs were to the patients,” Dalton said. After the sessions with the dogs, the kids “would say how much this made their day.”
The connection between eating and energy
Taz Tally
The connection between energy and eating is significant. A healthy diet and approach to eating can vastly improve energy levels, while a poorly planned diet that lacks nutrition can contribute to feelings of fatigue and increase a person’s risk for various ailments. The Harvard Medical School notes that different kinds of foods are converted to energy at different rates. That’s why some foods, such as candy, provide quick boosts of energy while foods such as whole grains tend to supply the body with energy reserves that it can draw on throughout the day. It’s not just what people eat but how they eat that can affect their energy levels. In addition to choosing the right foods, men and women can try the following strategies as they look to eat to boost their energy levels. • Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Avoiding the traditional three-meals-per-day approach may help improve energy levels, especially for people who tend to eat sizable meals once, twice or even three times every day. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the metabolisms of people who do not eat regularly will slow down, as the body absorbs and stores more of the food it eats. Those stores include cholesterol and fat, which can be unhealthy and contribute to weight gain.
However, by eating small meals more frequently, one’s metabolism speeds up and more calories are burned. The body recognizes more food is soon on the way and, as a result, it does not need to store as much cholesterol and fat as it would if meals were eaten less frequently. • Avoid a big lunch. The Harvard Medical School notes that, while the reasons are unclear, research has indicated that the circadian rhythms of people who eat big lunches indicate a more significant drop in afternoon energy levels than the rhythms of people who eat smaller midday meals. Men and women who eat big lunches and find their energy levels waning later in the workday can try to eat smaller midday meals to boost their energy. • Be careful with caffeine. The foods people eat are not the only components of their diet that can affect their energy levels. Caffeinated beverages can provide a temporary boost of energy as well. However, men and women who drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to boost their energy levels should avoid doing so in large amounts after 2 p.m. That’s because caffeine can cause insomnia, and insufficient sleep can dramatically affect energy levels. • Choose the right snacks. Eating smaller, more frequent
meals may compel some people to snack. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics notes that snacks are important as long as they’re the right snacks. Avoid snacks that are just empty calories in favor of foods that contain protein and fiber-rich carbohydrates. Such snacks, which may include fruits such as apples and fresh berries or protein sources like nuts and Greek yogurt, can provide lasting energy. It’s also important that men and women not snack to fill themselves up, but rather to quell any hunger pangs and get an energy boost between meals. The foods people eat and when they eat them can have a dramatic impact on their energy levels.
