Coast Guard investigates Kodiak members in illicit drug case KODIAK (AP) — A number of U.S. Coast Guard members in Kodiak have been removed from duty status as authorities investigate allegations of illicit drug activity, the Coast Guard said. Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Raymond Reichl said the investigative service’s probe has “only been going on for a very short period of time” and will continue for several weeks, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Tuesday. “A couple of weeks would be the minimum,” Reichl said of the investigation. “It’s not something that we’re going to do haphazardly.” The probe involves members from “a variety of units,” but Reichl declined to give the number of people involved or what prompted the investigation. It could deal with anything from drug possession to the wrongful use of prescription medication, said Reichl, an external affairs officer. “Drug use does not align with the core values of the Coast Guard and is illegal,” said Capt. Melissa Rivera, 17th Coast Guard District Chief of Staff. “The Coast Guard takes reports of illicit drug activity seriously and fully investigates these reports to determine an appropriate level of accountability.” The members under investigation have been removed from duty status, which includes security watches, aircraft or boat duties, and other routine activities performed by Coast Guard personnel. The lack of these members is not affecting the coast Guard’s ability to perform search and rescue operations or its other responsibilities, but if the investigation is prolonged, it might need to request additional personnel, Reichl said.

Future of Kenai bowling alley in limbo By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Members of the public came out Wednesday night to urge Kenai City Council members to support Charlotte Yamada’s effort to reopen Kenai’s bowling alley. Yamada updated the council on recent actions she’s taken to gather funding for the bowling alley, which would help fund equipment updates. Yamada has been working towards reopening the bowling alley since it closed in late 2015. “It is taking a long time to get this process done,” Yamada said. “It’s a very specific business we are trying to get back up and on its feet, and that in and of itself is kind of what we are fighting against.” Because of the specificity of the business, and because there are so few bowling alleys in the state, getting funding to update the building to code and to buy equipment is proving difficult. The Kenai City Council held an executive session at the end of their Wednesday meeting to discuss a request for renegotiation of terms regarding the

sale of the bowling alley property. The council unanimously passed a motion authorizing the city manager to renegotiate the terms of the bowling alley opportunity. The administration came to no decision but said at the meeting they are going to continue negotiating with the owner of the building, Sue Chang, and her business partner Yamada. Yamada said Thursday that progress with the bowling alley is up in the air. At Wednesday’s meeting, she was optimistic about the bowling alley’s potential. “It does lend itself to being just what our community needs,” Yamada said. “I’m just crazy enough to jump on board.” The bowling alley was built in 1984 as Kenai Bowl. It sat on city-owned land in Kenai’s airport reserve, and the owners paid an annual lease, which went to support the Kenai Municipal Airport. Most recently, Ken Liedes, who operated the business as Alaskalanes, owned the bowling alley. The Clarion previously reported his annual lease to the city was $27,000,

which he defaulted on before shutting the alley’s doors in late 2015. The city reclaimed the building and sold it for $450,000 in February of last

year to Anchorage-based commercial real estate consultant Dean You. Kenai resident Teea Winger also spoke to the council in sup-

port of the bowling business. She said bowling league dues alone would offer a significant profit to the bowling alley. See BOWL, page A3

PFD plays central role in governor’s race By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — Tension over changes to Alaska’s famed oilwealth checks hangs over this year’s governor’s race, threatening Gov. Bill Walker’s chances for re-election. For decades, residents have shared in the state’s oil wealth, eagerly anticipating the muchhyped reveal of the annual check’s amount and dreaming about how they’d use their portion. The checks go to every man, woman and child who meets residency requirements, peaking at $2,072 in 2015. But since 2016, the excitement has been muted and, for some, replaced with anger as Walker and state legislators capped the payout in response to what had become a multibillion-dollar state budget deficit. This year’s $1,600 check — or $6,400 for a family of four — being distributed Thursday is nothing to sniff it. But the payout, by some revised estimates, would have been about $2,980 — or $11,920 for a family of four — if it had not been capped.

Walker, an independent elected in 2014, stands by his decision to halve the amount available for checks in 2016, when oil was in the $40-a-barrel range and lawmakers were deadlocked on addressing a deficit deepened by low prices. But it could cost him re-election. While some Alaskans defend his decision as politically courageous and a way to preserve the program for the future, others have cast him as a thief. The check, along with crime and the economy, are major issues in this year’s governor’s race. There are people who say they’re upset, “but let’s see if they vote,” said Juanita Cassellius, who is with a group that supports putting the original formula for calculating the dividend into the state constitution. The annual dividend checks were widely seen as sacrosanct until Walker halved them in 2016, a move upheld by Alaska’s highest court. That opened the door for lawmakers, who had burned through billions of dollars in savings before this

year deciding to use earnings from the oil-wealth fund, the Alaska Permanent Fund, to help pay for state government. Dividends also are paid with fund earnings. Lawmakers capped the

check at $1,100 last year. This year’s dividend amount was set by what could pass the politically divided state House, not by the formula in law, which some argued would be fiscally reckless to adhere to.

The dividend program’s future remains unsettled. As it stands, the check will have to compete with schools, roads, troopers and other services paid using fund earnings. See PFD, page A3

Dixon the sea otter continues Tsalteshi seeks grants recovery at the SeaLife Center By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

Dixon the male sea otter pup is continuing his recovery at the Alaska SeaLife Center two months after he was found in Homer — dehydrated, malnourished and barely responsive. The sea otter, named after Dixon Glacier, has gone through extensive treatment since he was admitted to the SeaLife Center on Aug. 9 with bacterial infections, anemia and severe intestinal issues, according to a release from the SeaLife Center. “The prognosis for this otter looked grave,” said Veterinarian See DIXON, page A3

The Tsalteshi Trails Association is hoping to add 4 miles to the trail system and has applied for a two-year Recreational Trails Program grant to make the additions a reality. The $50,000 grant would fund construction of four new miles of ski, skijor, snowshoe and single-track trails south of Isaak Road. At their Sept. 27 meeting, the Soldotna City Council expressed their support for the grant. The trail system is on land leased from Kenai PeninDixon, a male sea otter pup, is pictured in this undated photo sula Borough, but adjacent to provided by the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward.

Peninsula residents as well as in-state and out of state visitors,” said Soldotna City Manager Stephanie Queen. “City of Soldotna residents, due to the trail system’s close proximity, enjoy easy access to all the benefits the trail system has to offer.” According a recent post on their Facebook page, the Tsalteshi Trails Association has also applied for a Recreational Trails Program grant to extend lighting to the uphill section of the Rabbit Loop and the eastern edge of the Skyview Middle School soccer field. “This lighting is needed to better facilitate the Tsalteshi Ski Program, KPBSD school ski team training and events as well as the growing number of nighttime community trail users,” according to the grant application.

Winger said it would cost her $2,500 in dues for one bowling season. With 12 lanes and four to five people on a team in each lane, she said the bowling alley would have a strong market. “We’re trying to definitely build up the city of Kenai,” Winger said. “Between this, and the arcade that’s going in, this will really give a lot more activity to the Kenai area than we’ve seen in the past.” Jeanie Carter, Yamada’s aunt, said the bowling alley would be another place for young people to hang out in the community. “It’s really nice to know that there’s going to be somewhere else you can go as a couple or as a family besides the movies or out to eat,” Carter said. “That starts adding up dollar wise and weight wise. I have two special needs kids that are very active and I would love to see another place for them to go.” RaeEllen Kurzendoerfer is a Kenai resident, mother and edu-

Walker’s main opponents — Republican Mike Dunleavy and Democrat Mark Begich — are seeking to capitalize on the angst, with Begich saying he’d prioritize efforts to get before voters the question of whether to enshrine the dividend in the constitution. “You have to get that Permanent Fund Dividend issue resolved one way or the other,” or it will remain a source of political argument, he said. In recent years, the nest-egg permanent fund, which was seeded with oil money and has grown through investments, has done well. As of June 30, its total value was nearly $65 billion, about $16.4 billion of which was in the spendable earnings reserve. The fear some have is that politicians, once reluctant to tap fund earnings, won’t be shy anymore. While oil prices have moderated, fund earnings are ex-

cator. She also sees the bowling alley as another option for the community’s youth. “I have six children of my own… My two younger boys are always asking me ‘mom when can we bowling?’ andIhave to tell them that we have to go all the way to Anchorage

to go bowling,” Kurzendoefer said. “It’s been a huge part of our community and I think with the Yamadas running the business it will flourish for the youth in our community.” Reach Victoria Petersen at vpetersen@peninsulaclarion. com.

Kathy Woodie. “But he had a fighting spirit and overcame tremendous health conditions.” Since his admittance, Dixon has nearly doubled in size, from 8 pounds to more than 15 pounds. He is fed a special formula in addition to small pieces of clam, capelin and squid. “Now that he has overcome many medical hurdles and has cleared quarantine we are working to integrate him with other otters at our facility,” said Lisa Hartman, husbandry director at the SeaLife Center. “At four months old, Ranney, our female otter, is of similar age and size to Dixon and is hopefully his first companion.” Sea otters are a keystone species for Alaska’s marine ecosystem, playing a vital role in plant health and local fish populations. Stranding events, like Dixon’s, are unfortunate but allow the SeaLife Center to identify issues negatively affecting Alaska’s sea otters, according to the SeaLife Center.

pected to play an ongoing role in paying for government services. Alaska has no state sales or personal income tax, though Begich and Walker say additional revenue of some kind is needed. Walker tried unsuccessfully to get a range of taxes passed. Dunleavy has favored reducing spending. Dunleavy, a former state senator, supports a full dividend payout and said the public should get to weigh in before any changes are made to the formula. Begich, a former U.S. senator, wants to put billions of dollars from fund earnings into the fund’s principal, where it can’t be touched. Lawmakers can spend fund earnings with a simple majority vote. The principal is constitutionally protected. Begich supports withdrawing a limited amount, based on a percentage of the fund’s market value, with part going for checks and part going for education. The plan approved by legislators this year calls for limited withdrawals based on a five-year average of the fund’s market value. But it left open for future de-

bate how much should go to government and how much should go toward checks. Walker said he’s open to putting the dividend in the constitution. He likes the idea of a guaranteed minimum amount but wouldn’t want to see a cap. “Whatever it is, the amount has to be sustainable,” he said. He notes that as recently as 2012, the dividend was $878. The historical average, before 2016, was about $1,150, based on a rolling five-year average of the fund’s performance. Pat Johanson, who sells snowmobiles and ATVs at his service and sales shop in Nome, acknowledges that. But, he said, imagine what people in his rural community could do with a bigger check? “If it was at the $3,000 level, you would notice it in rural Alaska for sure,” he said. People would upgrade the machines they use to go hunting and fishing, he said. “Rural Alaskans’ Costco is going out moose hunting, going out hunting caribou, going out

on the ocean and hunting seal with that new outboard or with that new snowmobile or with that new ATV. That’s the tool that they would buy to fill their freezer.” Johanson, a Republican, supported Walker in 2014 and feels Walker has been forced to take some actions by a Legislature at odds. Still, he hasn’t been happy with how Walker’s term has played out. He said he’s “willing to try somebody else,” and leaning toward Dunleavy. “Maybe somebody new in there will get the ball rolling.” Mark Choate, a Juneau attorney, said it’s easy for candidates to tell voters they’ll put more money in their pockets, but “that’s not realistic.” The selfdescribed progressive supports Walker. “When people say, ‘Oh, gee whiz, government’s not spending wisely,’ which parts of government don’t you want?” Choate said, adding: “It’s frustrating to me to see people be so simplistic about it.”

Obituary

Around the Peninsula Time to Sign Up For Trunk or Treat 2018

Kent Aslett Kent Aslett, of Posoltega, Nicaragua was born on November 3, 1949 in Rochester, New York. He passed away unexpectedly at age 68 on September 27, 2018 in Posoltega, Nicaragua. Kent served as a Marine in Vietnam and later fulfilled his dream of living in Alaska and building a log home. He survived a spinal injury that left him bound to a wheel chair and he did not allow that to diminish his sense of adventure. He was later called to a small town in Nicaragua where he became a valued member of the community and founded Radio Emmanuel Ministries. Posoltega is where he continued his passions of gardening, fellowship, and sharing the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word with all around him. His joys were fishing, mountain climbing, hunting, ham radio, gardening and spending time with wonderful friends and family. He always appreciated all who were present in his life. The loves of his life were his two daughters and six grandchildren of Sterling, Alaska. Kent is also survived by his former wife of Sterling, Alaska ,current wife, two stepchildren and grandchildren of Nicaragua. Friends and family can pay their respects at the memorial service, officiated by Pastor Andrew Miller, on Friday, October 5 at 5:30 p.m.. The service will be at Sterling Baptist Church, 34956 Sterling Hwy, Sterling, Alaska. Food will be provided by the family after the service.

Lee D. Martinovich, age 73, of the town of Armenia (Nekoosa) passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at his home. A celebration of Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held from 12:00 PM until 2:00 PM Monday October 8, 2018 at the Nekoosa Area Senior Community Center with lunch served (416 Crestview Lane, Nekoosa). Burial will be at 11:00 AM Monday at the Babcock Cemetery. Feldner/Ritchay Funeral Home is assisting the family. Lee was born October 10, 1944 in Babcock to Peter and Marjorie (Cooley) Martinovich. He was a 1962 graduate of Pittsville High School. From 1963 to 1965 Lee served in the US Army where he was stationed in Germany. He was part of the Minuteman mobile missiles while spending time on the Russian border. Lee married Patti Ann Kniprath on December 31, 1993 in Sterling, Alaska. He and Patti would have celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this year on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve. Lee was a certified welding inspector. He held roles as a quality control supervisor in oil, coal burning and nuclear energy. He spent time in the 1970s working on the oil fields in Saudi Arabia for Aramco, moved back to Alaska and spent 20 years on the north slope in Prudhoe Bay, AK, then worked in Texas, Oklahoma and most recently in Indiana for Skanska USA Engineering. Lee approached life as one big adventure. He made friends across the country and world and still received letters of gratitude from those he crossed paths with. Lee loved people and considered friends â&#x20AC;&#x153;family.â&#x20AC;? Lee was a member of the American Welding Society and the Babcock American Legion. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and working in the yard. He was a master do-ityourselfer (we laugh, sometimes it worked out and sometimes it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t). He enjoyed their annual 4th of July gathering and any time spent with friends and family. He is survived by his wife Patti; son Eric (LeaAnn) Martinovich; daughter Crista (Fred) Chace; stepchildren Amanda (John) Bowman, Sacha (Troy) Freeman, Joel (Stacie) Clark and Jared (Abbie) Clark; grandchildren Taylor, Hunter, Annie, Grace, Alex, Morgan, Mason, Canon, Beau, Lincoln, Landyn, Jackson, Sterling, ShaeElla, Jameson, Wyatt and Raya; three sisters June Poe, Mary (Roger) Kniprath and Diana Martinovich; brothers Marc (Evie) Martinovich and Dale Martinovich; sisterin-law Deljean Martinovich, special niece Trisha Cardon, and friend Brian Willis, who Lee considered a brother. He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister Alice Novcaski; and his brothers Pete and Bob Martinovich.

What Others Say

The future of the PFD is looking up, but gubernatorial candidates must still tackle budget The news was good for the Alaska Permanent Fund this week as the corporation that manages the state’s massive sovereign wealth account held its annual meeting. At the end of the last fiscal year, the fund had grown to a record breaking sum of $65.4 billion (as of July 31, it had grown even more, to an unaudited total of $66.2 billion). What’s more, the price of the oil that fuels the fund’s growth is continuing its long recovery,and this week moved above $80 per barrel for the first time since November 2014. If the price of oil stays high and production doesn’t slide, Alaska next year could have something residents haven’t seen in almost half a decade: A balanced budget. There’s no question that high oil prices are good news for Alaska. Even when oil prices collapsed to less than $30 per barrel, revenue from oil was one of the chief contributors to the state’s bottom line. With prices above $75 per barrel, that is even more the case, and new discoveries and developments on the North Slope indicate it’s likely to remain so for years to come. Alaska’s economic health is still closely tied to the price of its mineral resources. It’s understandably tempting for Alaskans — and especially gubernatorial candidates — to revert to the mentality they enjoyed prior to the oil price collapse of late 2014 and 2015. Before the slump and subsequent recession began, few were seriously discussing how to provide state services in the event that oil couldn’t cover all the state’s fiscal needs. The time since has been a wake-up call, in which Alaska had the savings — barely — to cover massive deficit spending while the price of oil crept back from the depths. Even if oil stays pricey enough to keep the state in the black during the coming year, we shouldn’t pretend it can’t happen again — and we should take measures to be ready for it when it does. This doesn’t mean drastically altering the way our state works or the essential services government provides,such as transportation, public safety and education. But it does mean having a plan for what we do if oil dips back to $50 per barrel. Or $40 per barrel. Or $30 per barrel. Every candidate for governor should have such a plan, and be able to articulate it to Alaskans’ satisfaction. As Gov. Bill Walker learned in his first year on the job, sometimes a multibillion-dollar budget deficit immediately follows the election. Whether the candidates’ solutions to a budget gap include cuts, a reallocation of Permanent Fund revenue, or new revenue measures such as taxes, they owe it to voters to share those plans and demonstrate how they will be effective. Whatever budget path they choose, while oil prices stay high enough to allow for it, they should make an effort to replenish the state’s savings accounts that have been drained by four years of deficit spending. There is plenty to celebrate in the growing value of the Permanent Fund and the rising price of oil. But it doesn’t absolve our leaders of making plans to address the potential for budget deficits, now that the Achilles heel of Alaska’s economy has been made plain.

Board of Fisheries must step up to protect Alaska’s salmon stock

When the Alaska Board of Fisheries meets in Anchorage this October, it can act to place the protection of wild stocks of salmon above expansion of hatchery production of pink salmon in the Gulf of Alaska. The issue before the BOF is whether the expansion of hatchery production of pink salmon by the private, nonprofit hatcheries in Prince William Sound is in the best interest of the wild stocks of salmon or if the sheer magnitude of the hatchery releases and the documented straying poses a clear and present threat to other stocks and species. While these issues rarely come before the BOF, it has the authority to amend by regulation the number and source of salmon eggs taken for hatchery production. State of Alaska law (Policy for management of sustainable salmon fisheries – 5 AAC 39.222) mandates that hatcheries shall operate without adversely affecting natural stocks of fish. The policy states that the effects and interactions of introduced or enhanced salmon stocks on wild salmon stocks should be assessed, and that wild salmon stocks and fisheries on those stocks should be protected from adverse impacts from artificial propagation and enhancement efforts.

concern over the biological impacts associated with continued release of very large numbers of hatchery salmon. Credible scientific speculation ties this year’s failure of runs of sockeye and chinook in places like the Copper River, Chignik and the Kenai to competition issues with the massive numbers of hatchery pink salmon in the marine environment. Protection of wild stocks is job one for Alaska. The PWS hatcheries are vitally important to the commercial fishery in that region, but it is time to halt expansion of those hatcheries and take time to let the best available fishery science guide us forward. It is time for the burden of proof to shift from the state needing to prove that harm to wild stocks is occurring to those who propose significant changes to the ecosystem to show no harm. The Alaska Board of Fisheries can and should take the first step to placing us on this path forward. Kevin Delaney is the former director of the Sport Fish Division of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and is currently a fisheries consultant with Kenai River Sportfishing Association.

Who was questioned by the FBI in the Kavanaugh probe? By MICHAEL BALSAMO and ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The FBI has wrapped up its background investigation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but much of what it did remains a mystery, including its decisions about whom to interview. Investigation details have not been publicly disclosed. Republicans say the probe was thorough and reinforces their support of President Donald Trump’s nominee. But Democrats decry it as incomplete and constrained, and Kavanaugh’s accusers say the FBI didn’t interview witnesses who could have corroborated their ac— Anchorage Daily News, Sept. 29 counts. Republicans say nine people were interviewed. Six have been identified by The Associated Press and other news outlets. Among those not interviewed were Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the California college professor who testified last week to Congress that a drunken E-mail: Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were high school news@peninsulaclarion.com students.

Call: Kenai, AK 99611 907-283-7551 questioned — and who was not: WHO HAS THE FBI INTERVIEWED?

Letters to the Editor:

The request before the BOF at its upcoming work session is to halt the currently permitted expansion of hatchery production of pink salmon. Nearly 800 million eggs are currently taken for incubation. The expansion at issue calls for an additional 20 million eggs. Halting this incremental expansion will have little effect on overall hatchery production of pink salmon or the economic value to the commercial fishery, but by halting the expansion, the BOF will be taking an important step forward, placing all parties on notice that the issue at play here is very important and needs to be addressed. Pink salmon that showed up in streams across Lower Cook Inlet in 2017 weren’t all local stocks — in some streams, up to 70 percent were releases from PWS hatcheries. These PWS hatchery pink salmon were present in every Lower Cook Inlet stream sampled. Overall, PWS hatchery pinks composed 15 percent of the pink salmon escapement in LCI in 2017. In addition to the straying issues, recent scientific publications (building on past published reports and internal Alaska Department of Fish and Game reviews) have provided cause for great

White House spokesman Raj Shah said the FBI contacted 10 people and interviewed nine of them. Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said several witnesses were questioned about allegations by Deborah Ramirez, who knew Kavanaugh when they were students at Yale University. But the only publicly identified witness linked to Ramirez’s accusation is Ramirez herself. She told the FBI that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party in the early 1980s when they were students at Yale. Her interview was Sunday, according to a person close to Ramirez, who wasn’t permitted to discuss the matter publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity. All of the five remaining witnesses who have been publicly identified are associated with Ford’s claim. The FBI questioned Mark Judge, a high school friend of Kavanaugh. Ford says Judge was in the room when Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in the early 1980s. Judge has said he did not recall the events described by Ford and that he never saw Kavanaugh act in the manner that she describes. Agents also spoke with two people who Ford said attended the party where she said she

was attacked, though she says they did not witness the incident. Ford’s friend Leland Keyser was questioned Saturday and said she didn’t know Kavanaugh and doesn’t remember being at a party with him. Keyser believes Ford’s account but is “unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident in question,” her attorney, Howard Walsh, said. Patrick “P.J.” Smyth, who Ford said had also attended the party, told investigators he had “no knowledge” of the gathering Ford described or any allegation of misconduct by Kavanaugh, according to his attorney, Eric Bruce. The FBI also spoke with two more of Kavanaugh’s high school classmates, Chris Garrett, whom Ford has said she “went out with for a few months,” and Timothy Gaudette, who is listed in Kavanaugh’s calendars as having hosted a July 1, 1982, gathering that Kavanaugh attended. WHO HASN’T BEEN INTERVIEWED? Top on the list are Ford and Kavanaugh. The FBI also hasn’t interviewed several potential witnesses identified by Ford’s attorneys as people who could corroborate that she provided details of the attack years

ago — a counterpoint to claims that her allegations may be politically motivated. Ramirez’s lawyers provided the agents with a list of more than 20 witnesses, but as of late Wednesday, the FBI hadn’t interviewed any of the people who Ramirez believes could corroborate her account, according to the person close to Ramirez. Several of Kavanaugh’s Yale classmates also reached out to the FBI, but were never contacted. They include Charles “Chad” Ludington, who has challenge Kavanaugh’s testimony about his drinking and said Kavanaugh was “a frequent drinker, and a heavy drinker.” Another classmate, Kerry Berchem, said she’s made multiple submissions to a tip line but has not received a return phone call or substantive response from the FBI. The FBI also never contacted Julie Swetnick, who has alleged she was victimized at a party attended by Kavanaugh and his friends. Swetnick accused Kavanaugh and Judge of excessive drinking and inappropriate treatment of women in the early 1980s, among other accusations. Kavanaugh has called her accusations a “joke.” Judge “categorically” denies the allegations.

Nation/World Chaos as Kavanaugh vote nears By MATTHEW DALY and CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — “This is what democracy looks like!” protesters shouted outside the Supreme Court, voicing their opposition to Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the high court but somehow speaking for everyone on every side on a day of passion, chaos and consequence. Democracy on Thursday looked like: — Senators scurrying AWAY from the cameras, not their natural state. — Sexual assault victims pouring out their stories in the halls of the Capitol and from the steps of the high court across the street. — “Confirm Brett!” cries from members of the “Women for Kavanaugh” outside the office of Sen. Jeff Flake, one of three Republicans and perhaps one wavering Democrat who will determine whether the judge accused of sexual misconduct will become a justice. — “We believe Christine Ford” banners, unfurled at a Senate office building where police began arresting hundreds of protesters staging a sit-in. — Partisan characterizations of the FBI report on the

accusations against Kavanaugh, so at odds that the casual observer could not hope to divine the truth from listening to them. “Whitewash,” steamed Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut. “A check-the-box scam.” Countered Maine’s Republican Sen. Susan Collins, a crucial unknown vote, “It appears to be a very thorough investigation.” Walking to the Capitol, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein was approached by a woman who thanked her for her work on the investigation and told the senator she’s a multiple rape survivor. Feinstein shook her hand, then put her own hand on the woman’s cheek. The woman started crying, and simply said, “Thank you, thank you.” A round of Senate voting is expected Friday, with the final vote likely Saturday. It had been a smooth process by Washington’s bumpy standards until Christine Blasey Ford, then other women, came forward with their accusations, setting up an epic hearing last week centered on Ford’s allegation and Kavanaugh’s blistering denials. Flake, a retiring senator and frequent thorn in the side of President Donald Trump, achieved a delay long

enough for the FBI to reopen its background investigation of the nominee. The pitched struggle over Kavanaugh reflects the stakes. At 53, he is likely to serve on the court for decades if confirmed. In the short term he could provide the decisive fifth vote for a conservative majority on the nine-member court. On the hot seat, some senators have been using police escorts in recent days to shield them from protesters and the media. The stepped-up police presence comes as senators — especially Republicans — have expressed unease over protesters who have confronted them at their Senate offices, restaurants, airports and even their

homes. Personal information about some lawmakers also has been released online. On Thursday, with Collins praising the reach of the brief FBI investigation and Flake indicating he had seen nothing incriminating in the results, the pro-Kavanaugh forces appeared closer to the prize. But anger and frustration knew no party on the eve of expected voting. “This is almost rock bottom,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Republican who presided over last week’s hearing as chairman of the Judiciary Committee. It was a day when you could not tell who was winning by watching them.

Red tide plaguing both of Florida’s coasts By JENNIFER KAY and TAMARA LUSH Associated Press

MIAMI — Many of Florida’s famous beaches were empty Thursday because of a red tide outbreak that for the first time in decades is plaguing both the Gulf and Atlantic coasts at once. While the Gulf Coast has suffered the brunt of the toxic algae outbreak all summer, it only just showed up this week on the Atlantic beaches of South Florida. Miami-Dade County closed Haulover Beach — including a popular nudist section — early Thursday and the growing crisis prompted Gov. Rick Scott to announce $3 million in state assistance for five counties in the region. “It’s very rare for us to have it over here,” said Lieutenant Matthew Sparling of MiamiDade Fire Rescue Ocean Rescue. “People come here to be on the beaches and they don’t want to be coming down here to be exposed to red tide or sewage spills or whatnot, … so yeah, I think we can be in trouble. “ Red tide can cause breathing problems in humans. It’s been blamed for tons and tons of dead fish on miles of beaches. At least six Palm Beach County beaches have been closed since the weekend because of the outbreak.

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Setting aside the Supreme Court fight, members of Congress this week approved bipartisan legislation aimed at curbing the devastating opioid addiction across the country. But the Support for Patients and Communities Act, which President Donald Trump said he would sign into law, has political implications. It includes contributions from at least 70 lawmakers, some of whom face tough re-election campaigns in November. The measure, which the Senate passed 98-1 on Wednesday and the House approved 393-8 on Sept. 28, ensures incumbents have something positive to campaign about in the final weeks before the election. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, represents one of the states hardest hit by opioid addiction and was a main driver of the bill in the Senate. “To the millions of people in communities across this country who have been crippled by this crisis, this legislation is the turning point,” Portman said,

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate was arrested Thursday with what police said was 48 pounds of illegal pot. State police arrested Compassion Party candidate Anne Armstrong, along with the party’s candidate for attorney general, Alan Gordon. Police said they searched the pair’s home in West Greenwich after receiving a complaint of a “strong odor of marijuana emanating from marijuana plants being illegally grown outdoors.” They said that a 15-year-old child was in the house. The pair appeared in court Thursday afternoon and did not enter pleas to charges of marijuana possession and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. They were ordered held on $25,000 bail. Armstrong sent a tweet Thursday morning from what appeared to be the back of a police cruiser, saying she was arrested “again” for cannabis. “I guess our poll numbers were high enough to scare them into committing an atrocity. Pray for our police,” she wrote.

Detroit-area cop fired after being charged in jail death DETROIT — A suburban Detroit police department has fired an officer who is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a man in jail. The dismissal was announced Thursday as Sgt. Ronald Buckley appeared in court for the first time. Two paramedics are also charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of William Marshall last December. Marshall was arrested by Westland police for drug possession. Authorities say he repeatedly had convulsions in the police lock-up but wasn’t given medical treatment. He died of cocaine toxicity. Buckley is accused of failing to allow Marshall to be taken to the hospital.

Today in History In this Oct. 3 photo, dead fish float in the water near Canal Parkway in Mexico Beach, Fla. (Patti Blake/News Herald via AP)

State officials say a red tide bloom that began last fall now stretches along roughly 135 miles (215 kilometers) of Florida’s southwest coast, affecting businesses, tourism and vacations. “The ocean is big business out here,” said 36-year-old Richy Beck, as he unloaded a truck full of beach chairs Thursday at Haulover Beach. “It’s bad for business, man. It means I’m going to be on the unemployment line.” In Florida’s Panhandle, crews of county jail inmates are cleaning up piles of dead

fish killed by a red tide bloom near Panama City Beach. Bay County had the highest concentration of algae, while Walton, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties had lower concentrations. Along the mid-Gulf Coast, Pinellas County is partnering with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to issue out a first-of-a-kind air quality forecast to keep residents and visitors safe during red tide. Nick Shay, Professor of Ocean Sciences, University of Miami Rosenstiel School

of Marine and Atmospheric Science, said the currents that would take red tide from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean are always circulating, but the levels of algae in the Gulf are extremely high. The strength of the fastmoving currents that circulate from the Gulf into the Florida Straits and then up along Florida’s Atlantic coast are a reason the oil spill in 2010 was such a concern for the entire state, even though only a small portion of beaches in the Panhandle ultimately were affected, Shay said.

Bipartisan Congress OKs opioid legislation By ADAM BEAM Associated Press

Around the World

adding, “It’s a glimmer of hope at the end of a dark tunnel.” More than 63,600 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2016. Two-thirds of them involved a prescription or illegal opioid, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The measure attacks the problem in hundreds of ways. It would require the U.S. Postal Service to track international packages and test them for drugs. It would especially target China, who officials say is the United States’ primary source of the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl. It would allow physicians assistants and nurse practitioners to prescribe addiction treatment medication. And it would make changes to the country’s largest health coverage programs: Medicaid and Medicare. In 13 states, people 65 and older account for the highest rate of opioid-related inpatient stays. But Medicare, which covers people 65 and older, does not pay for opioid treatment programs. The bill would allow Medicare coverage for medications, counseling and testing for opioid treatment.

Medicaid, which covers the poor and the disabled, pays for substance abuse treatment. But Medicaid does not pay for anyone arrested and held in jail. The bill would require states to restore coverage for juveniles once they’re released. The bill also focuses on helping people once after they’ve gone through addiction treatment. A handful of states each would be eligible to receive $30 million grants to pay for job training for recovering addicts. And it would offer $25 million in grants divided among five eligible states for housing for addicts who have completed treatment programs and have nowhere to go. “It’s hard for people to be successful in recovery if they can’t find work,” said Van Ingram, executive director of Kentucky’s Office of Drug Control Policy. The bill would send that grant money to states that have been the hardest hit by opioid addiction, among them, Kentucky, home of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Rep. Andy Barr. They were among the sponsors of the grants provision.

Although McConnell is not up for re-election in November, Barr, is seeking a fourth term in one of the most competitive House races in the country. He faces Democrat Amy McGrath, a retired Marine fighter pilot who also has made addressing the opioid crisis part of her campaign. “We’ve been working on this a lot longer than this campaign season,” Barr said. “It’s an example of us getting results.”

Today is Friday, Oct. 5, the 278th day of 2018. There are 87 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 5, 1983, Solidarity founder Lech Walesa (lek vah-wen’-sah) was named winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. On this date: In 1829, the 21st president of the United States, Chester Alan Arthur, was born in North Fairfield, Vermont. In 1931, Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon completed the first nonstop flight across the Pacific Ocean, arriving in Washington state some 41 hours after leaving Japan. In 1947, President Harry S. Truman delivered the first televised White House address as he spoke on the world food crisis. In 1953, Earl Warren was sworn in as the 14th chief justice of the United States, succeeding Fred M. Vinson. In 1958, racially-desegregated Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee, was mostly leveled by an early morning bombing. In 1969, the British TV comedy program “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” made its debut on BBC 1. In 1984, the space shuttle Challenger blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center on an 8-day mission; the crew included Kathryn D. Sullivan, who became the first American woman to walk in space, and Marc Garneau, the first Canadian astronaut. In 1988, Democrat Lloyd Bentsen lambasted Republican Dan Quayle during their vice presidential debate, telling Quayle, “Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.” In 1989, a jury in Charlotte, North Carolina, convicted former P-T-L evangelist Jim Bakker (BAY’-kur) of using his television show to defraud followers. In 1999, two packed commuter trains collided near London’s Paddington Station, killing 31 people. In 2001, tabloid photo editor Robert Stevens died from inhaled anthrax, the first of a series of anthrax cases in Florida, New York, New Jersey and Washington. In 2011, Apple founder Steve Jobs, 56, died in Palo Alto, California. Ten years ago: Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin defended her claim that Barack Obama “pals around with terrorists,” referring to his association on a charity board a few years earlier with 1960s radical Bill Ayers. Obama accused John McCain’s campaign of trying to distract votes with “smears” rather than talking about substance. Five years ago: In a stealthy seaside assault in Somalia and in a raid in Libya’s capital, U.S. military forces struck out against Islamic extremists who had carried out terrorist attacks in East Africa, snatching Abu Anas al-Libi, allegedly involved in the bombings of U.S. embassies 15 years earlier. (Al-Libi has since pleaded not guilty to the embassy bombings.) A monster truck went out of control at an “Extreme Aeroshow” in Chihuahua, Mexico, killing eight people and injuring ten times as many. Wladimir Klitschko (VLAD’-uh-meer KLICH’-koh) retained his WBA and IBF heavyweight titles, unanimously outpointing previously undefeated Alexander Povetkin in Moscow. One year ago: Hollywood executive Harvey Weinstein announced that he was taking a leave of absence from his company after a New York Times article detailed decades of alleged sexual harassment against women including actress Ashley Judd. The National Rifle Association and the White House expressed support for controls on “bump stock” devices like those that apparently aided the gunman behind the Las Vegas attack; the NRA later said it was opposed to an outright ban on the devices. California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation extending protections for immigrants living in the United States illegally; police in California would be barred from asking people about their immigration status or taking part in federal immigration enforcement activities. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Glynis Johns is 95. College Football Hall of Fame coach Barry Switzer is 81. Rhythm-and-blues singer Arlene Smith (The Chantels) is 77. Singer-musician Steve Miller is 75. Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, D-Md., is 75. Rock singer Brian Johnson (AC/DC) is 71. Blues musician Rick Estrin is 69. Actress Karen Allen is 67. Writer-producer-director Clive Barker is 66.

Peninsula Clarion | Friday, October 5, 2018 | A7

Beyond reason: Looking to the Scriptures for answers What if a famous scientist or a noted professor invited you to debate and reason about topics in their field of expertise? The discussion will be on the radio or a TV program. Would you feel as much trepidation as I would? Reason as a noun is defined as “the capacity for rational thought or inference. The state of having good sense and sound judgment.” The verb is simply, “Think logically.” Teachers work diligently every year to instill reason as a skill in their students. We have some of those qualities in a measure, but adequate enough to engage in higher academic or scientific reasoning and debate? I wouldn’t feel comfortable unless it involves searching the scriptures.

V oices of F aith M itch G lover How astounding is it when the Almighty God of the universe invites us, “Come now, and let us reason together…”. About what? Many complex and fascinating subjects will not be covered: • How gravity and magnetic fields keep the earth stable in its orbit. • The tilt of the earth on its axis for seasons so that the loss or gain of daylight can be measured to the second. • How atoms with electrons orbiting around a nucleus of protons and

neutrons got their electrical charge. • How two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen make a molecule of water, so essential for all forms of life. All life and its complexity would take a lifetime to discuss. However, the Lord narrows the topic and establishes the guidelines for that discussion. His focus is the beginning of spiritual life which is forever. The topic? Sin, plain and simple. Noticeable as scarlet and crimson. Hard to ignore because of the far reaching effect sin has. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

The Lord offers the solution to the sin problem. The scarlet and crimson of sin can be changed to be white as snow and wool. How does that happen? The answer is in the story of the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. A miraculous display of the supernatural began at his birth and continued on through his life and ministry. Healings, some that had never been seen before, were experienced. He offered forgiveness as well as healing to many which led to a dynamic change in their lives. No wonder the Spirit of God is likened to rain, a well, and a river; all typical of life sustaining water. As Jesus hung on the cross he prayed, “Father, forgive them…” Forgiveness is a beautiful blessing from

the Lord. To forgive is a simple statement but a powerful act. The Bible says, “In whom [Jesus] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:7). Repentance is a prerequisite to forgiveness (Acts 2:38). It is more than remorse and regret for sin. It is a basic change of heart. The blessings that follow are abundant and wonderful. That’s reason enough to determine to find out more about God’s forgiveness of sin. Mitch Glover is pastor of Sterling Pentecostal Church.

Algeria approves beatification service for slain Catholics ALGIERS, Algeria — Algerian authorities say the country’s president has approved a December beatification ceremony for seven Trappist monks and 12 other Catholics who were killed during a bloody civil war in the 1990s. Religious Affairs Minister Mohamed Aissa said President Abdelaziz Bouteflika agreed the ceremony could take place on Dec. 8 in Oran’s Santa Cruz basilica. The French monks were kidnapped from the monastery of Tibhirine, south of Algiers, in 1996. A radical group was blamed for their beheadings, but some observers have suggested Algeria’s military was responsible. Pope Francis recognized all 19 of the priests, nuns and other religious individuals as martyrs in January. Beatification is a step in the process of being declared a saint. — The Associated Press

Finding an average

hile running the Kenai River Half Marathon last Sunday, here are some of the things I thought about: fall colors, sunglasses, whether I should finally start drinking Gatorade, the playlist I was listening to, socks, O’Reilly Auto Parts, their catchy jingle and last year’s race. That was in the first five kilometers, and then my mind went where it usually goes anytime I run for longer than a half hour — math. In school, I had an affinity toward geometry and calculus. Instead, I pursued a career in writing, causing a lot of those skills to run off. I still enjoy thinking through simple equations in my head, though. Send the dinner bill my way. I love figuring out the best tip (especially if it’s split into separate checks!). While running, simple math problems aren’t laid out in a checkbook in front of me, though. I have to go searching for them. Sunday, I started by counting my steps, a tried and true mental pastime that would put me to sleep if I wasn’t moving my feet forward. I counted to 761 steps in, roughly, a half mile. So, I take about 1,522 steps in one mile. If that held true for the entire race, I took 19,938 steps. I know there are watches and apps and more that do all this for you now, but my Casio from Fred Meyer’s has just a stopwatch. Then, I thought about my upcoming flight to New Jersey, which I had just found out is about 3,385 air miles. If I had to travel back to visit my parents in terms of half marathons, I’d run about 258 half marathons. If my pace on Sunday was any indication of how long that would take, adding a half hour break in between each section of 13.1 miles, it would take me 774 hours, or just about 33 days, to travel from Ted Stevens International Airport to John F. Kennedy International in New York. I’d still ask my mom to pick me up at the airport, though, because those last 75 miles to my hometown in New Jersey would be a killer. I’ve run up some silly mountains, but I don’t ever plan on running across the VerrazanoNarrows Bridge. With the help of my trusty Casio watch, I was able to start figuring out times as well. Over the course of six miles, I ran each mile somewhere between 10 minutes and 10 minutes and 30 seconds. That, I remembered, was about a minute and a half quicker than my average mile pace last year. So, if I multiply a minute and a half by 13, I could See BLUE, page A8

The playoff race has ended, the seedings have become final and now the two-week fight to decide the 2018 champions in three divisions of Alaska football begins in earnest. The lone peninsula school to make it bears a familiar face. The Soldotna Stars are once again the favorites to claim the Division II state crown after securing the school’s 13th consecutive Northern Lights Conference title and 24th overall, both records. Soldotna begins its march for a seventh-straight state championship

1 p.m. Saturday afternoon against the Palmer Moose at Palmer High School. No, that was not a typo. The higherseeded Stars will travel to play Palmer, the No. 2 seed out of the Railbelt Conference, at Palmer High School’s Machetanz Field. The Palmer stadium has hosted the Division II playoffs for three straight years, but SoHi head coach Galen Brantley Jr. believes it’s time for a change. “My fear was we’d have to go up there and they’d host us,” Brantley Jr. said. “They’ve already got (the chance) to play us twice at home for state championship games, and here we go again.”

Brantley Jr. voiced frustration with the Alaska School Activities Association keeping the state semifinals at Palmer for a third straight year. According to ASAA Executive Director Billy Strickland, the organization voted to have Palmer play host for three straight years in 2016, 2017 and 2018 due to the logistical and financial burden that would be faced for teams in a conference that featured two Juneau schools. However, after the 2017 season, both Juneau-Douglas and Thunder Mountain left the Northern Lights Conference due to a realignment that combined both schools and pushed

them into Division I football. While Juneau left the conference prior to this season, ASAA did not change its hosting plan, meaning it was possible that Palmer could host a semifinal game as the lower seed for a third straight year. “They had a chance to fix it and ASAA wouldn’t do it,” Brantley Jr. said. “Here we go, we’ll play in front of their home fans again.” Since Juneau-Douglas exited the conference after the 2017 season, Brantley Jr. said the logic in having a “neutral” site for semifinal contests has since gone out the window.

scratched again. Last season, he finished with seven goals and three assists in 49 games. This season, he already has three goals and two assists in eight games. The McDonald name is one of the most famous in Alaska hockey. The Chugiak-Eagle River area’s indoor rink is named for Sutton’s grandfather, Harry McDonald. Sutton is the son of Shanda and Reid McDonald. Reid played for Michigan Tech, while Reid’s sister, Lynn, is married to Brian Swanson, who played in the NHL.

As his team compiled a 5-30-0 record on a season-opening road trip, Kenai River Brown Bears head coach Josh Petrich could not stop talking about how excited he was for the team’s fans to get to watch this squad play. Now that the moment is here — the Bears host the Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex — Petrich may have to do the opposite and dial back the enthusiasm for his players a bit. “We’re going to see a lot of emotion on Friday,” Petrich said. “Hopefully, it’s a big crowd. I think we’re going to have to tame the boys a little bit, because they’re jacked up and ready to go.” Petrich often says the Brown Bears have the best fans in the league, because those fans have stuck with the team through thick and thin. Lately, though, there has been a lot of thin, with the team missing the playoffs for four straight seasons. But Kenai River currently resides at the top of the North American Hockey League Midwest Division, with the fifth-most goals in the league and the fourthbest goal differential. Judging from social media, the talk around town and the turnout at the Brown-Gold Game, Petrich said enthusiasm for the team is high, especially

Starting from scratch

Eagle River’s McDonald soars after omission from lineup By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

On Feb. 9 of this year, Kenai River Brown Bears forward Sutton McDonald did all the little things right in getting to the net for a second-period goal to give his squad a 2-1 lead against the WilkesBarre/Scranton (Pennsylvania) Knights. Although the Bears would go on to lose the game, McDonald, of Eagle River, was unprepared for what happened when he showed up for the next day’s game. “I was doing the little things right to get that goal so I was happy with my-

self,” said McDonald, 19. “The next day I went into the locker room and my name wasn’t in the lineup. “I looked at the guys like, ‘What’s going on?’” What was going on was Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich was happy about that goal, but not satisfied with almost everything else Sutton did in that game. “He was really pissed when I scratched him,” Petrich said. “We watched the film on Monday and he understood why. “He really took off from there.” McDonald would finish the rest of his first season with the Brown Bears by skating with the top line and not getting

The next generation of conservation pilots

f you were out at the Marsh Lake trail head in the Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area, perhaps you noticed several groups of people looking into the sky. I witnessed a few vehicles stop to see what everyone was looking at. Often wildlife draws attention here, but on that day in late August, folks were watching drones. The 11 operators were students hoping to become part of the next generation of U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service pilots. However, these pilots won’t be sitting in an aircraft, but will instead be flying them remotely. The students were training to operate a small quadcopter. It may look like a toy, but it is capable of carrying an array of sophisticated sensors, operating autonomously, and flying in conditions or places manned aircraft can’t. All that said, my kids still consider it a toy that I play with at work. The students learned to how to maneuver the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS, also known as drones), operate sensors and respond to system failSome of the 11 U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service students training on the Kenai National Wildlife ures that could affect their ability to control the aircraft.

R efuge N otebook M ark L aker Most folks have no problem maneuvering the UAS, especially if they operated a remote control toy before. If not, it can be a challenge to train your brain to steer it the correct way when it’s facing a different direction. It’s kind of like backing up a trailer using mirrors for the first time. The UAS program within the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service started only last year. With the millions of consumer UAS out there, it’s easy to forget how quickly they have become commonplace. However, it was only about five years ago that the consumer and Do-It-Yourself drone industry kicked into high gear. Shortly thereafter, these inexpensive UASs were everywhere, carrying things, dropping things and taking pictures. It didn’t take long before they were eyed by biologists,

who viewed them as a tool instead of a toy. As tantalizing as these potential tools are, they are also fast flying objects relying on a responsible human and numerous complex systems working together to keep them from crashing and causing harm. What could possibly go wrong? That is why the Federal Aviation Administration, the agency charged with administering our National Airspace, considers them aircraft. Fortunately, the Department of Interior aviation folks had been engaged with the rapidly changing technology and regulations, and provided guidance and training to those human operators. The demand for training has outpaced the supply. The limiting factor has been the number of qualified instructors. As one of the initial remote pilots, I agreed to become an instructor to help build the program. It has been great to see the wave of innovation and creativity in just the last couple years from our UAS pilots. Much like satellites provided ecologists with a landscape view, UASs See REFUGE, page A8

more and more average. In the Mount Marathon Race, I finished just faster than a third of the other female racers at 176 out of 264 (giving me a chance to race again next year, hopefully with a slightly more average result). Then, during the Lost Lake Breath of Life Run, I really solidified my average results by finishing in the 52nd percentile. So, I’m getting average and, after 13.1 miles of running through Kenai on a beautiful fall morning, I have the means to prove it. Something I can’t prove? That I ran 22 minutes faster because of all the Rihanna on this year’s playlist. But you’re going to have to trust me on that.

finish the race 19 and a half minutes quicker than last year. Turns out I was a little off, I ran it 22 minutes faster. The margin of error was in my favor on race day. Comparing my race this year to the 2017 race took me down another route — mathematical comparisons! And, guess what I found? I’m slowly becoming average! Last year, I came in 61 out of 74 women in the Kenai River Half. I was in the bottom third of finishers. Bummer. But! This year, I came in 51 out of 90 so I finished faster than 44 percent of racers, versus only 32 percent. And, if Kat Sorensen is a writer in you run through the other races Seward, Alaska.

are giving scientists localscale, remote-sensed data. Direct wildlife observations and measurements can change animals’ behavior, potentially affecting study results. Remote sensing instruments can often collect the same data without interaction or effect. These inexpensive aircraft have delivered aviation and remote sensing to the masses and, with them, innovative solutions to a wide range of challenges. Here are just a couple examples. DOI remote pilots have been onsite at the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii for many months providing real time information on lava flows to protect resources and search for people in harm’s way. In one instance, a UAS was used to guide an individual trapped by lava flow to safety. As tools for wild-land firefighting, UAS have time and again proved their mettle by both assisting firefighters and keeping them safe. We utilized what we learned from last year’s pilot survey of nesting Aleutian terns here at

Headquarters Lake to develop new techniques that will allow biologists to greatly increase the efficiency and quality of nest surveys. Remote pilots on National Wildlife Refuges across the country have been pioneering new methods to survey a wide variety of wildlife. The use of UAS is energizing ecological studies by providing new data from a bird’s eye view. You may be wondering how those students did. Everyone passed — it was almost disappointingly uneventful, not even a broken propeller! In past classes I’ve had to dive out of the way, grab the controls, and witness some dramatic crashes. With these 11 next generation pilots, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has 47 remote UAS pilots, eight of which are in Alaska. I’m confident they will continue to innovate and find creative and effective ways to conserve our wild lands. Mark Laker is an ecologist at Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

Mickelson 2 shots back NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Phil Mickelson had six straight birdies and shot a 7-under 65 on Thursday to pull within two strokes of leader Sepp Straka in the PGA Tour’s season-opening Safeway Open. C oming off a winless performance in the U.S. Ryder Cup loss to Europe, the 48-year-old Mickelson birdied Nos. 9-14 and closed with four

straight pars on the North Course at Silverado Resort and Spa. I’ve been putting well, like I can putt,” Mickelson said. “But I was surprised at some of the shots I’ve hit. Honestly, I hit it just terrible and today was kind of an anomaly. Don’t let the good round fool you. I’m not at all at my best. A few things clicked and it was fun.”

Then there’s Sutton’s younger brother, Cam, who played for the Brown Bears last season before moving to the United States Hockey League, the top junior league in the country, this year. Cam has committed to Providence College, one of the top hockey programs in the country. Sutton said Cam has been a natural since putting on skates. For Sutton, it’s been a different story. “I was never blessed with any natural skill,” Sutton said. “I had to work at everything. “I had to work hard on a good shot. I have to work hard on having hockey sense. Nothing ever came easy.” A common misconception when success runs along family lines in athletics is that it’s

after the strong start to the season. “I’m so proud of the guys,” Petrich said. “Most of them have never done a road trip in this league, and our road trips are so much harder than what most teams in the league face.” A big reason for the team’s success has been special teams.

due to genes. Just as important, though, is parents knowing what it takes to succeed and showing their progeny the way. Sutton said that has been the case for himself. Whenever he has hit a stumbling block in his game or his career, Reid has always been there to get to the rink with him at 6 a.m. until the hurdle has been cleared. For instance, Sutton did not make an AAA team when he was 16. He reacted to that the identical way he would react to Petrich scratching him. “My whole career, I’ve always been overlooked,” McDonald said. “It was the same thing. “It made me realize I was missing some parts to my game. I got better and my game took off from there.” When McDonald made the Brown Bears last year, he was a senior in high school with only one year of AAA hockey under his belt.

“Sutton was only a senior in his first year here,” Petrich said. “He had a lot of growing to do. That’s why you saw the ups and downs. “The next level for him is being more consistent.” McDonald said his confidence is making him more consistent this season. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound skater also pointed to the expertise of assistant coach Dan Bogdan. “When I was 15, I grew 3 or 4 inches out of nowhere,” McDonald said. “It was hard to get used to it. I’m still not fully used to it.” McDonald said the biggest casualty of the growth spurt has been his skating. That’s where Bogdan comes in. “He knows what he’s doing, for sure,” McDonald said. “He’s helping us with whatever we want to get better at, so he’s helped me with my individual skills and skating.” While the growth spurt has

forced a tough adjustment, it’s a positive as colleges start sizing McDonald up. He has one year of junior eligibility left after this season. “He has great hands and a great frame, but he still has to grow into his frame,” Petrich said. “He still needs 10 to 15 pounds on his butt and his thighs.” McDonald, the billet son of Michell and Terry Johnston, is happy he has the chance to continue to mature in Alaska. Sutton said he valued playing with Cam, who he calls his best buddy, at Eagle River High School in the 2016-17 season and with the Brown Bears last season. “I always used the think when I got to this league, I’d want to play for a team out of state,” McDonald said. “Now, when we’re gone for three or four weeks, I really miss Alaska. “I don’t get homesick when I’m down here. I just get homesick when I’m out of Alaska.”

The Bears have the top power play in the league at 40.0 percent, although their penalty kill is 20th at 72.4 percent. Petrich said he is pleased with those numbers, but he would like to see the percents add up to at least 115. “Success in this league is all about special teams,” he said. “That’s a big reason why I want to get it higher. I’m greedy.” The coach also is excited to see how his team performs on the large ice sheet at the sports

center. The team was built for the big ice, but thus far training camp and seven of the first eight games have been on small sheets. In the only game on a large sheet, the Bears defeated the defending Robertson Cup champions Shreveport (Louisiana) Mudbugs 4-1. Tuesday, the Bears practiced at the sports complex for the first time. “Today was Day 1 and I liked what I saw,” Petrich said after Tuesday’s practice. The Steel are a new team

this season, so Petrich said he doesn’t know a lot about them. They are 3-5-0-0, in fifth place in the Midwest. Their power play is 21st in the league, while their penalty kill is 22nd. Notes: The Bears have released Anchorage goalie Kevin Lake to get down to a roster of 23 players. Petrich said the move was tough and that he knows Lake has the ability to play in the league. … Friday will be Arby’s Night at the sports complex.

Brady throws 500th TD pass, Pats win By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — On a night when he reached 500 career touchdown passes, Tom Brady welcomed back a buddy with one of his three scoring tosses Thursday, then connected with a newcomer who could help him reach more milestones. Brady also sneaked in for a rushing touchdown and the New England Patriots put together their second straight win after a mediocre start to the season, beating Indianapolis 38-24. Brady’s 500th went to Josh Gordon, recently acquired from Cleveland, where he basically was unavailable through NFL suspensions for all but five games over the past three seasons. But, as he often does, Brady spread the wealth, hitting running back James White 10 times for 77 yards, and greeting the return of buddy Julian Edelman by completing seven for 57 yards to him. “We wanted to get him the ball and he made some great

plays,” Brady said about Edelman. “Just good to have him out there. We all want it to be perfect when we go out and it was great to have him out there ... healthy and having fun.” As for 500 TD passes, third on the career list behind Peyton Manning (539) and Brett Favre (508), Brady called it a collective mark. “I think all these things like that, milestones, there are so many people that contribute, all the people that have really worked hard,” he said. “A quarterback doesn’t throw to himself. “These are all great team awards, pretty cool.” The five-time NFL champion also tied Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, a former teammate, for most victories with 226. Brady finished 34 for 44 for 341 yards. As everyone in Gillette Stadium except, apparently, the Colts knew, Brady started off with a pass to Edelman, who was wide open for 9 yards. That drew the first of many loud cheers for the 10th-year veteran receiver in his first

game since the 2017 preseason, when he tore up a knee. Edelman was suspended for the first four games this year for violating the NFL’s policy on performance enhancers. “During the rehab you are just sitting there and waiting to get back on the field,” Edelman said. “It felt great to be out there with the guys.” That was the first of three receptions for 28 yards for Edelman on the opening 75-yard touchdown drive Brady capped with a 1-yard toss to Cordarrelle Patterson . From there, even though the Colts (1-4) had a drive deep into New England (3-2) territory, usually reliable Adam Vinatieri missed a 38-yard field goal. Nothing was going right for Indianapolis, particularly after Brady led a 72-yard march to his sneak from the 1. Then he took the Patriots 68 yards near the end of the half and hit workhorse White for a 6-yard score to lead 21-3. Under pressure, Andrew Luck threw a poor pass that Patrick Chung intercepted at mid-

field, and Stephen Gostkowski made a 45-yard field goal for a 24-3 halftime lead. Luck did extend his string of games with a touchdown pass by hitting Eric Ebron on a 14-yarder in the third quarter. Showing a strong arm all night — remember, Luck missed all of 2017 with shoulder issues — he has a TD throw in 28 successive games, tops of any current quarterback. “We’re not going to win consistently until we learn how to get out of our own way,” Luck said. “That’s not taking anything away from New England. They were the better team today. Anybody who watched it or played in it knows it. It was self-evident. “But we’re going to have to learn how not to lose if we want to give ourselves a chance to win.” After Matthias Farley’s interception of a pass bobbled by Chris Hogan, Indy could do nothing. Rookie Jordan Wilkins had the ball stripped from his hands by Devin McCourty four players later.

Strickland explained in an email that ASAA wanted to keep its deal intact with Palmer. “While the board did allow Juneau to co-op into a single DI team,” Strickland said. “It did not feel (the need) to renege on its decision to allow Palmer to host for the last year of their bid.” That still did not satisfy Brantley Jr. and the rest of the Division II schools, which Brantley Jr. said were put into a changed conference with an outdated venue plan. “We had seven out of eight teams agree to see the higher seeds host the playoffs since they jerked the rug out from under us and changed the division,” he said. “ASAA said they’re going to honor Palmer’s

bid, and Palmer’s (athletic director Dale Ewart) is one of the ASAA board members, so it’s got the good old boy hookup feel. “We’re disappointed in ASAA and disappointed in Billy Strickland, because they had an opportunity to fix it, and they chose to take care of Palmer.” Strickland added in the email that ASAA is planning to move the Division II and III semifinal games back to the higher-seeded team’s field in 2019, and the state championship games will also be brought back to Anchorage, although he did not specify which venue. Ultimately, the venue may not make a difference for SoHi at all. Since 2016, the Stars have won all seven games against the Moose they have played on Palmer’s home field, including the 2016 and 2017 state title games. Saturday’s semifinal clash with Palmer is a rematch of the previous two state title games, both of which were also held at Machetanz Field. SoHi won both convincingly, but Brantley Jr. said he knows Moose head

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers made a surprising and much dissected decision to start Hyun-Jin Ryu over Clayton Kershaw in Game 1 of the NL Division Series. Swell choice. The South Korean lefthander pitched seven dominant innings and Los Angeles launched three home runs to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-0 on Thursday night. Ryu delivered in his first postseason start since 2014. He allowed four singles — all with two outs — struck out eight and walked none.

“He was in control. There was a lot of soft contact,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “He was doing what he wanted to do. It was good to see, and we needed that one.” The only slip Ryu made was when he mistook the second out of the fourth inning for the last out and started walking toward the dugout. He laughed upon realizing the gaffe. The 31-year-old Ryu missed 3 1/2 months of the season with a groin strain and returned Aug. 15 to post a 1.88 ERA in 52 2/3 innings. “When he came back we weren’t sure who we were going to get,” teammate Enrique Hernandez said. “It seemed like

he didn’t miss a beat.” Dodgers great Sandy Koufax was among those who gave Ryu a standing ovation as he walked to the dugout after his final pitch. “I’m happy that I was able to keep my promise that I would go full-throttle from the getgo,” Ryu said through a translator. Ryu even collected his first career postseason hit with a single in the fourth. The Dodgers set franchise and National League records by hitting 235 homers during the regular season, and their tear continued with three more to begin their playoffs. The defending NL champions

hands full again with a similar Palmer rush game, which eats up yards between the tackles and can surprise opponents with a passing game from QB Luke Guggenmos. “Every year they stumble out of the gates but finish strong,” Brantley Jr. said. “They’re a quality football team. “When it comes to October they play great football and their kids fly around.”

actually were outhit 6-5 by Atlanta, but the Braves only got singles. “I don’t really feel like there’s anyone on this team that’s going up there trying to hit a home run,” said Max Muncy, who had a three-run shot with two outs in the second. “It’s just a result of us having a good approach and good atbats. I feel like a lot of the home runs we’ve had have come off of long at-bats, working the counts and wearing the pitcher down.” Game 2 in the best-of-five matchup is Friday at Dodger Stadium, with Kershaw starting for Los Angeles against Anibal Sanchez.

Brewers walk off on Rockies in 10th inning By GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

MILWAUKEE — Extra innings, two outs and the winning run on third in Game 1 of the playoffs. Short on playoff experience, the Milwaukee Brewers dealt for veteran Mike Moustakas over the summer to produce in just this kind of spot. Good deal. Moustakas scored MVP frontrunner Christian Yelich with a two-out single in the 10th inning, and the Brewers bounced back to beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 Thursday in their NL Division Series opener. After giving up two runs in the ninth that made it 2-all, the Brewers regrouped and soon celebrated. Making their first postseason appearance since 2011, they won their ninth straight game overall. Moustakas had already produced for Kansas City in October, hitting .304 in the 2015 World Series to help beat the Mets. He’s doing it again in Milwaukee after being acquired from the Royals in late July. “Being in a postseason a couple years back, it definitely

helps,” Moustakas said. Chants of “Mooose!” echoed around Miller Park after the winning hit. Game 2 is Friday in Milwaukee with Colorado’s Tyler Anderson opposing Jhoulys Chacin, who led Milwaukee with 35 starts this year. He started Monday when the Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 in the NL Central tiebreaker at Wrigley Field. Yelich hit a two-run homer in the third inning, then opened the 10th with a walk against Adam Ottavino, coming back from an 0-2 count. Yelich made his postseason debut, though the even-keeled star spoke as if he had been through this before. “You’re just trying to slow the situation down ... find a way to get on and make something happen, put some pressure on him,” Yelich said. “And Moose was able to come through there at the end with the huge hit.” Yelich advanced to second on a wild pitch and came home on Moustakas’ line drive to right field. After almost winning the Triple Crown this year, Yelich got two hits, scored twice and stole a base in his playoff debut. Josh Hader and the Brewers

allowed just one hit over eight it.” innings in a dominant bullpen COLD COLORADO: The game and led 2-0 before Jeremy big-hitting Rockies, meanwhile, Jeffress gave up three straight are still struggling to find their singles to open the ninth. Charlie Blackmon grounded an RBI single shortly after his groundrule double was overruled on replay review, and Nolan Arenado added a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to tie it. But Colorado couldn’t come through in extras again after outlasting the Chicago Cubs 2-1 in 13 innings in the NL wild-card game on Tuesday. “Everybody knows I throw a lot of sliders. In that spot, I wanted to elevate. I wanted to get a little higher than I got it,” Ottavino said. “I think I guessed what he was looking for wrong there.” Joakim Soria picked up the win in the opener with a scoreless 10th. MOOSE IS LOOSE: The two-time All-Star third baseman had 15 RBIs in 31 postseason games while with the Royals. Make it 16 now in Milwaukee. “Look, Moose has been in those spots,” manager Craig Counsell said. “It’s something that you try to not make the situation too big, and he did a great job of it and finally got a pitch to

stroke. After beating the Cubs time in five days. earlier in the week, this visit to “Time will tell, but I think the Miller Park meant them playing day off helped yesterday,” skipin a different city for the fourth per Bud Black said.

Crossword

Mom’s wild stories cause her grandchildren distress The problem: Several of the ladies are “allergic” to counting their scores correctly. We have given them counting beads to help them “remember” their score. They have played with board members who asked them to count their scores out loud each time they hit the ball and to state their scores after the last putt. There have also been conversations with the golf Abigail Van Buren pro about the importance of keeping accurate scores. Yet, the inaccurate counting persists and denial reigns. Members are upset because these ladies often “win” tournaments. What to do? -- PROUD OF MY HIGH HANDICAP DEAR PROUD: You might be able to curb the cheating if you suggest club members swap scorecards and keep score for each other. However, if that doesn’t do the trick, stop playing with those who cheat. DEAR ABBY: Yesterday, I took my computer to an electronics store to be fixed. The tech who helped me had a ton of dirt under his nails. I was grossed out see-

ing him with those filthy nails type on my computer keys. Should I have said something to him or his supervisor? How can they allow someone with his hygiene problem to be in a position that requires contact with the public? -- GROSSED OUT IN OHIO DEAR GROSSED OUT: A quiet word with the supervisor would have been the way to handle it. And while you were at the store, you could have asked for sanitary wipes to clean your keyboard. (They probably had some behind the counter.) Using a soft tissue dipped in alcohol once you returned home would also kill germs, as long as you’re careful the tissue isn’t so saturated that liquid drips beneath the keys.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Oct. 5, 2018: `This year you might feel frustrated, as you cannot act with ease. You often hit roadblocks. Take your time. Rethink your decisions. Note other ways to get where you want to go. If you are single, a relationship might be difficult to get off the ground. Know that it will happen if you are patient. If you are attached, the two of you often need to wait until you can move on a key decision. Everything will work out. VIRGO can annoy you with his or her fussiness. `The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your playfulness emerges and delights many people around you. Communication flourishes. Be careful with funds and declarations of love. You will notice that a backfire could occur -- if not now, in the near future. Use caution in the next few weeks. Tonight: Join a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might want to do some thinking about a personal matter. You could be eyeing a change in the next few weeks. Hold off on pursuing your ideas for several months. You could be feeling less than great as your ruling planet, Venus, goes retrograde. Tonight: Keep it light. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH This morning is the time to clear the air with a key person. You might need to keep a strong hold on your funds and investment matters in the next month. A bond, friendship or romantic relationship begun right now might not last for long. Tonight: Consider heading home.

Rubes

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your opinions might be asked for, but that doesn’t mean that they’ll be honored by others. Do not take it personally. Your focus is on your home and family, where a change might be occurring. Try to consider a suggestion a friend makes. Tonight: Accept a last-minute invitation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You have an opportunity to air out some strong feelings. You might not get the response you had hoped for. Others aren’t likely to be as affectionate or as open as usual. Don’t reveal too much. Use care with a higher-up or older person. Tonight: Head to a favorite spot. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be out of sorts in the morning and a good part of the afternoon. Later in the day, you seem to get more of the attention you desire. Speak your mind, and be as clear as possible. It might take a while for the other party to get your message. Do not worry. Tonight: Not alone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Use the morning for key matters. If you feel out of sync, it’s because your ruling planet, Venus, does a backward jig. You might not want to make major changes to your life right now. Seek out an older friend for some feedback first. Tonight: Chill out at home, if you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be out of sorts and not exactly sure why. You can take the lead on a key project. However sustaining, the position of leader could be difficult for the next month or so. You might discover that you have a hidden enemy during

this period. Tonight: Go where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might want to look more deeply into a situation that could be annoying and difficult at times. If you can avoid making a decision, do. By midday, you note that responsibilities seem to fall on you. Be willing to say “no” once in a while. Tonight: A must appearance at a get-together. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be pushing a loved one too hard. You might wonder if you can do anything to loosen up a situation. A boss or older relative could be difficult and cantankerous. Drum up your patience and sympathy; you will need it. Tonight: Go where you can relax in peace and quiet. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others seek you out. You might have difficulty saying “no” to someone, but it probably is necessary right now. You have a lot to share, and you will share as much as you can. Make it a point to keep conversations on an individual level. Tonight: The party goes on and on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HH Clear out any task that is obligatory. You know you have a limited amount of time, and might not be comfortable with everything you have to do. Ask a partner or an associate to pitch in and make your life easier. Tap into your sense of humor. Tonight: Accept an invitation if you want. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Bob Geldof (1951), actor Jesse Eisenberg (1983), businesswoman Teresa Heinz Kerry (1938)

FEVER BLISTER Dear Heloise: For a long time, I would have one fever blister after another on my lip. As soon as I could feel it coming on, I’d medicate it. I also started keeping a small spray bottle filled with isopropyl alcohol on my sink, and every few days I sprayed my toothbrush. I no longer have fever blisters. The doctor said I was reinfecting myself reusing my toothbrush. I wish I had known this a long time ago, because I’d have saved a lot of misery and money. -- Jean M., San Angelo, Texas FLYING WITH BABIES Dear Heloise: For the mothers traveling with babies: First, if you’re taking a diaper bag onboard, make certain it fits under the seat in front of you, NOT in the overhead bin. You’ll need to get to it during the flight, believe me. Second, if you take something on the plane to entertain the baby, please bring something that does not make noise or roll down the aisle if it’s dropped, and isn’t breakable. This is for everyone’s safety. Finally, during the last diaper change before you get on the plane, cover the diaper area with a very generous amount of diaper cream to protect the baby’s skin in case the next diaper change is delayed. -- Susan O., Long Beach, Calif. MEMORY MULCH Dear Heloise: It’s a common feature in a garden to have stones or shells that carry memories of sunny days at the beach, a special location or a happy event and use them as decoration or mulch. Place your collection of stones or shells around your plants, arranged in decorative ways. It makes the garden far more personal and adds an interesting touch, unlike anyone else’s garden. -- Jackie H., Lee’s Summit, Mo.

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.

DEAR ABBY: My mother insists on telling my three youngest children that my husband is not their father. The oldest girl is the spitting image of him, and she’s upset about it. Mom also calls me terrible names. She keeps saying it will add years to my life if I divorce him and makes appointments with divorce lawyers “for” me, which I am charged for. My husband and I have a limited income and can’t move away because our jobs are here. How can I convince our kids my husband is their father? -- TRYING TO PROVE IT DEAR TRYING: A way to do that would be to explain to your children that your mother has severe emotional problems and isn’t in her right mind when she says those things. (From what you have written, it appears to be true.) You do not have to move away to distance yourself from this toxic, troubled woman. Stop communicating with her. Block her phone number, if you must, and do not allow her to have contact with any members of your family unless and until she regains her senses and apologizes to all of you. DEAR ABBY: I belong to a women’s golfing group. The mission of the club is to play golf and have fun. We have tournaments, prizes, and awards are given for the best scores.
