Fall colors take over Kenai refuge
ANCHORAGE — One man has been hospitalized and another is in custody following a shooting in an elementary school parking lot in Anchorage. Anchorage TV station KTUU reports the shooting occurred before 10 a.m. Wednesday at a parking at Denali Elementary School. No students were hurt or involved. Police spokesman MJ Thim says the shooting involved a dispute that was “domestic in nature” between the two men. Thim says police are investigating why the men were in the parking lot and whether they have any connections to the school or students. He says the shooting appears to be an isolated incident. Police say the injured man was shot in the upper body. The men’s names were not immediately released.

Authorities: Bears fed on body of man killed at mine JUNEAU — Authorities say three bears fed on the body of a contract employee who was killed this week at a remote southeast Alaska mine site. Ken Marsh, a spokesman with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said Wednesday the circumstances surrounding Anthony David Montoya’s death remain unclear. Authorities say no one witnessed what happened to the 18-year-old from Hollis, Oklahoma. Megan Peters, an Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman, says an autopsy report from the medical examiner’s office was pending. She says Montoya had left a group to go to a nearby water pump site. When he didn’t return, others went looking for him. They say Montoya and the bears were about 35 yards from them. Peters says the site was reportedly noisy. The bears were subsequently killed. — Associated Press
ConocoPhillips bullish on Alaska’s future By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
At Wednesday’s Joint Chamber Luncheon, Lisa Bruner, vice president of North Slope operations for ConocoPhillips, presented residents with a big picture look at the company’s future in Alaska. Bruner, who has been with the company for over 29 years, said the company is growing its Alaska portfolio. “The company itself is very aggressive about the future in Alaska,” Bruner said. “We see a lot of promise in the forthcoming developments in the state.” Bruner said roughly 20 percent of the company’s production is in the state of Alaska. Looking back at 2013, Bruner detailed Conoco’s past predictions for development in Alaska, which were in decline. “Frankly speaking, it wasn’t a very exciting future for the company at that point in time, and there were a number of reasons for that,” Bruner said. She said state tax regimes
and the fiscal climate at the time made investment in Alaska difficult. “We were in what is classified as maintenance mode,” Bruner said. “We were still maintaining our infrastructure to produce what we had, but we didn’t see a hugely promising future.” Fast forward to today, Bruner said Conoco is seeing more potential for development in Alaska. “The changes we’ve seen since 2013 is nothing short of transformational,” Bruner said. Bruner said the transformation was a result of a few key events. Passage of SB 21 in 2013 raised the base tax rate, and made it so taxes are lower under high oil prices, but higher under low oil prices. Bruner said the passage attracted many new investments to the state. Another factor in the transformation is the introduction to the new technology and innovation, she said. “Through that, we’ve undertaken, and built, seven new

rigs,” Bruner said. “We have one under construction now. We’re continuing to push the envelope with technology and innovation. We’re continuing to unlock the potential that we
see.” Looking forward, Bruner said the future for Conoco development in Alaska is looking bright, and could potentially provide thousands of jobs for
residents. Majority of the work on the North Slope happens in the winter when the ice roads are able to carry equipment to remote See OIL, page A8

A few dozen residents and their children worked to shine a little brighter light on substance abuse Saturday at Homer’s first Light the Night march. Hosted by The Bearded Sister, Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships of the Southern Kenai Peninsula, and the Southern Kenai Peninsula Opioid Task Force (which is a group within MAPP), the event involved a gathering at WKFL Park followed by a march through town. “We meet together once a month and we’ve become friends throughout that any-
way,” said Kerri-Ann Baker, of The Bearded Sister, a nonprofit dedicated to addiction recovery efforts. “We knew that we wanted to really do a bunch of stuff for Recovery Month, because it’s really easy. Nobody’s against recovery.” Other communities, like the Mat-Su have held Light the Night events, but they are usually held later in the season, Baker said. The Homer groups chose to hold the march while it was still September, National Recovery Month. The choice was also a personal one for Baker. Baker’s brother, for whom The Bearded Sister was Children prepare glow sticks to walks with before a Light the Night march Saturday at WKFL named, died from addiction Park in Homer.

Have astronomers found 1st moon outside our solar system? By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronomers may have found the first moon outside our solar system, a gas behemoth the size of Neptune. Plenty of planets exist beyond our solar system, but a moon around one of those worlds has yet to be confirmed. Two Columbia University researchers presented their tantalizing evidence for a moon Wednesday. The potential moon would be considerably larger than Earth — about the size of Neptune or Uranus. The planet it orbits is as big as mammoth Jupiter. This apparent super-size pairing of a gaseous moon and planet is 8,000 light-years away. Researchers Alex Teachey and David Kipping evaluated 284 planets outside our solar system that had already been discovered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope. Only one planet held promise for hosting a moon, one around the star known as Kepler-1625, which is about the size of our sun but older. So last October, the pair directed the Hubble Space Telescope at the star in an attempt to verify — or rule out — the possibility of a moon orbiting the planet Kepler-1625b. They were on the lookout for a second temporary dimming of starlight. The main dip in stellar brightness would be the planet itself crossing in front of its star. Another dip could well be a moon — known as an exomoon outside our solar system. The more powerful and precise Hubble telescope detected a second and smaller decrease in starlight 3 ½ hours after the planet passed in front of the star — “like a dog following its owner on a leash,” as Kipping put it. The observation period, however, ended before the moon could complete its transit. That’s why the astronomers need another look with Hubble,

hopefully next spring. Despite the evidence, Teachey stressed “we are urging caution here.” “The first exomoon is obviously an extraordinary claim and it requires extraordinary evidence,” Teachey said. “Furthermore, the size we’ve calculated for this moon, about the size of Neptune, has hardly been anticipated and so that, too, is reason to be careful here.” He added: “We’re not cracking open Champagne bottles just yet on this one.” If indeed a moon, it would be about 2 million miles (3 million kilometers) from its planet and appear twice as big in its sky, as the moon does in ours. The astronomers are uncertain how this potential moon might have formed, given its size. “If confirmed, this finding could completely shake up our understanding of how moons are formed and what they can be made of,” NASA’s science mission chief Thomas Zurbuchen said in a statement. According to the researchers, another compellingpieceof evidence in favor of a moon is
that the planet passed in front of its star more than an hour earlier than predicted. A moon could cause that kind of an uncertain, wobbly path, they noted. Kipping said that’s how the Earth and moon would appear from far away. This particular planet — or exoplanet — is about the same distance from its star as Earth is to the sun. Another planet could cause the same gravitational nudge, the researchers noted, although Kepler observations have come up empty in that regard. Kepler-1625b is the only planet found so far around this star. For Teachey and Kipping, the best and simplest explanation is that Kepler-1625b has a moon. “We’ve tried our best to rule out other possibilities,” Kipping told reporters. “But we were unable to find any other single hypothesis which can explain all of the data we have.” Their findings were published in the journal Science Advances . The journal’s deputy editor, Kip Hodges, praised the researchers for their cautious tone, given the difficult
and complicated process of identifying an exomoon. “If this finding stands up to further observational scrutiny, it represents a major milestone in the field of astronomy,” Hodges said. The Columbia astronomers said they may be able to clinch this as early as next year, with more Hubble viewing. In the meantime, they’re encouraging other scientists to join in and embracing the scrutiny that’s sure to come. Whether confirmed or not, the subject offers insight into how rare — or how common — our own solar system might be. Moons are abundant in our own solar system, with close to 200. Of the eight planets in our solar system, only Mercury and Venus have none. Given that both the planet and its potential moon are gas giants, no one is suggesting conditions that might support life. “But going forward, I think we’re opening the doors to finding worlds like that,” Teachey said.

What Others Say
Ballot Measure 1 raises questions about salmon, economy, Alaska’s future Alaska Ballot Measure 1 has left
some people wondering what to stand for — salmon or Alaska? Each camp has valid arguments, and Ballot Measure 1 should be given thoughtful consideration. In short, this ballot initiative — if enacted by the voters — would add and amend a combined 14 sections to Alaska law that provides for the protection of salmon and their habitat. Under the proposed law, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game commissioner would be charged with ensuring those protections. The commissioner would be authorized to adopt regulations to do so. Among the regulations the commissioner would adopt is what defines an anadromous fish habitat. Anadromous fish are those that migrate from the sea and swim up rivers and streams to spawn, such as salmon. The proposed law would also require any person or business that wants to do “certain activities” that would “use, divert, obstruct, pollute, disturb or otherwise alter” an anadromous fish habitat to obtain a fish habitat permit. To obtain the permit, the applicant would need to show how the habitat is protected. If the habitat is to be damaged, the applicant must show how the damage would be mitigated. The Stand for Salmon initiative was launched as a way to pre-empt the The Pebble Partnership from developing a large gold mine about 200 miles southwest of Anchorage. The Pebble Mine’s proximity to Bristol Bay, which is the largest salmon fishery in the world, alarmed many Alaskans and environmental groups. If the tailings dam were to fail and toxic waste spilled, would it spell the end for Bristol Bay salmon? In August, the Alaska Supreme Court struck key provisions from the ballot measure, one of which would have most certainly prevented the Pebble Mine from being developed. This initiative, as is, certainly has the capability of slowing development in Alaska — a tough pill to swallow for a state in the middle of a recession. Jobs are needed and people are hoping for the economy to pick up. This would likely put a damper on that. Additional salmon habitat mitigation regulations, as required by the initiative, could add costs to resource development projects; this could decrease profits and encourage resource development corporations to look elsewhere. In some cases, development projects might be denied permits. The largest donors to the opposition group, Stand for Alaska, are ConocoPhillips Alaska, BP Alaska and Donlin Gold. Interior mines Kinross Fort Knox and Sumitomo’s Pogo Mine have each contributed more than $400,000 to the campaign as well. These companies provide some of the best jobs in the Interior. Each appears to be far from shutting down; in fact, each is hoping to expand operations. How would the initiative affect these companies? Does this initiative put too much power in the hands of the Fish and Game commissioner? With the current regulations, Alaska remains the greatest salmon resource in the world. If it’s not broke, why fix it? On the other side of the river, proponents of the initiative — Stand for Salmon — are making valid arguments, too. The salmon are a way of life for many people in the state. Whether it’s the fishermen in Kodiak, the Fairbanksan who dip-nets in Chitina, or the father who feeds his family with salmon in a rural village, salmon remain an important part of this state’s economy and culture. Is there anything wrong with wanting to add protections for Alaska’s greatest natural renewable resource? Salmon runs and salmon numbers have been depleted in Oregon, Idaho and Washington. It would be folly to think that cannot happen in Alaska. Pollution in Alaska salmon runs or disruptive infrastructure can devastate a salmon run. Are we doing enough to protect our salmon? This initiative would certainly help secure our salmon’s future.
Atticus Finch was on the wrong side
It’s time for “To Kill a Mockingbird” to give up its treasured place in American culture. The 1960 novel by Harper Lee was published to instant acclaim, has sold more than 30 million copies and is ubiquitous in high-school curricula. The 1962 movie version, starring Gregory Peck, is a classic in itself and won three Academy Awards. A play based on the novel is about to open on Broadway. This is quite the resume for a book that, prior to the publication of a sequel in 2015 that was really the first draft of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” was Harper Lee’s only work. But nothing is forever, even for a book commonly called “timeless.” Lee’s novel is deeply out of sympathy with a moment when on college campuses, and in the culture more broadly, due process isn’t what it used to be, when it is often thought to be a hateful act to insist that allegations of sexual misconduct be proven. A refresher on the story: It is told from the perspective of a young girl, Scout, who is the daughter of a small-town lawyer named Atticus Finch (played by Peck in the movie). The setting is Depressionera Alabama. Finch is unpopular in town because he has decided to take on the defense of a black man named Tom Robinson who is accused of rape by a young white woman. And this is where the story, in contemporary terms, goes off the rails. Atticus
Finch didn’t #BelieveAllWomen. He didn’t take an accusation at face value. He defended an alleged rapist, vigorously and unremittingly, making use of every opportunity provided to him by the norms of the Rich Lowry Anglo-American system of justice. He did it despite considerable social pressure to simply believe the accuser. In a gripping courtroom scene, Finch cross-examines Mayella Ewell, the 19-year-old daughter of an abusive drunk from a dirt-poor family who is Robinson’s accuser. With all the vehemence and emotion she can muster, Ewell insists that Robinson attacked her after she got him to break up a piece of old furniture at her house. Without mercy, Finch takes apart her account. In contemporary internet argot, he “destroys” her. He brushes right by her tears. He doesn’t care about her feelings, only the facts. He exposes contradictions in her story and shreds her credibility, especially with the dramatic revelation that Robinson doesn’t have use of his left arm when he stands up at the defense table (he is alleged to have hit her with his left hand). It is revealed that Ewell is lying. She had made an advance on Robinson and
gotten caught by her vicious, racist father. The charge of rape against Robinson was a cover story, although the bigoted jury convicts him anyway. “To Kill a Mockingbird” stands firmly for the proposition that an accusation can be false, that unpopular defendants presumed guilty must and should be defended, and that it is admirable and brave to withstand the crowd — at times in the story, literally the lynch mob — when it wants to cast aside the normal protections of justice. Exactly what has made Atticus Finch such an honored figure in our culture would make him a very inconvenient man at many college campuses today, where charges of sexual misconduct are adjudicated without the accused being allowed to confront the accuser or make use of other key features of our system of justice. Finch is a rebuke to the shift from a presumption of innocence toward a presumption of guilt that now attends accusations of sexual harassment and assault. He didn’t believe that someone being accused of something is enough to establish his wrongdoing, or accept that a category of people were, by definition, to be under a pall of suspicion. Atticus Finch is not the man for this moment, but we need him, and his reasoned yet unshakable commitment to fairness and justice, more than ever.

White House midterm message: Embrace Trump or start packing By ZEKE MILLER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The White House has a message for vulnerable House Republicans tiptoeing around President Donald Trump: Get on board or start packing. The warning comes in a memo from White House political director Bill Stepien, who argues that GOP candidates who try to distance themselves from the president are only doing themselves harm in the upcoming midterm elections. The memo, dated Monday and obtained by The Associated Press, serves as a response to a grim White House briefing by pollsters for the Republican National Committee last month regarding GOP midterm prospects. It also previews some of Trump’s upcoming travel just as White House officials are eagerly noting the president’s efforts to help beleaguered House candidates, not just contenders in more prominent Senate races. Midterm elections are traditionally difficult for the parties of incumbent presidents, and this year is proving to be no exception. The GOP is facing down considerable Democratic enthusiasm as it looks to retain control of the House and Senate. But the White House memo argues that public perceptions about whether the country is on — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Sept. 30 the right track temper the probability of a Democratic wave. So do redrawn congressional districts, which have reduced the number of contested seats. “With Americans supporting the direc-
tion of the country at historically high levels — but with Republican voters clearly lagging in enthusiasm — the path forward is clear; Republican candidates need to closely, clearly and boldly align themselves with the policies that have provided Americans with this historic level of directional optimism,” Stepien wrote. The White House memo suggests that countering the enthusiasm gap is where Trump can make up the difference — for those candidates willing to take his help. Republicans who don’t talk about Trump or his accomplishments, the White House warns, will make a tough situation a whole lot tougher. Trump has used campaign rallies in an effort to boost Republican turnout, encouraging the voters he drew to the polls in 2016 to support more staid traditional lawmakers. Both parties largely view the 2018 contest as a race to turn out party faithful rather than an effort to attract new voters. At a rally in Southaven, Mississippi, on Tuesday, Trump told voters: “Pretend I’m on the ballot.” He added: “This is also a referendum about me and the disgusting gridlock they’ll put this country through.” That message is consistent with the advice given last month to White House staff by GOP pollster Neil Newhouse, who said Republicans need to warn of the consequences if Democrats gain control of either chamber of Congress. He told White House officials that Trump could appeal to moderates and independents by emphasiz-
ing that a Democratic majority would be outside the mainstream on issues like abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and pushing government-funded health care. Ever since, both themes have taken on more prominence in Trump’s rallies. Trump will campaign Thursday for Republican Rep. Jason Lewis of Minnesota, who invited Trump to appear on his behalf. Officials contrasted Lewis’ request in the state’s 2nd Congressional District with that of Republican Rep. Erik Paulsen of the neighboring 3rd District who has kept his distance from Trump. The White House believes Paulsen’s rejection of Trump will sink his candidacy. The Stepien memo states that Trump’s travel strategy in the five weeks through Election Day will be to spend time with candidates like Lewis. On Saturday, he will campaign for Republican congressional candidate Steve Watkins in Kansas, kicking off a stretch of five rallies in eight days for candidates in Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky. “Watch closely where the president has and will campaign; you will see the president aggressively campaigning in districts with candidates who enthusiastically embrace the policies that have put America on the pathway to prosperity,” the memo states. “President Trump continues to be ready, willing and able to put the power and force of his coalition to work for the candidates with whom he stands, and those who stand with him.”

Nation/World Police boost security at Capitol
United flight from LA lands safely in Sydney after mayday
By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The impassioned fight over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court has led to heightened security at the Capitol, with some senators using police escorts to shield them from protesters eager to confront them. Capitol police have arrested dozens of people in recent days for unlawfully demonstrating in Senate office buildings. Police have stepped up their presence in Capitol hallways, in some cases blocking news reporters and the public from approaching lawmakers. Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican who is a key undecided vote on Kavanaugh, was escorted out of a hearing Wednesday by three police officers. She ignored questions from reporters. Police later threatened to clear a public hallway outside her office in the Dirksen Senate Office Building and physically blocked reporters from approaching Collins as she left the office to return to the Capitol for a vote. A spokeswoman for Collins declined to comment on her security detail. The stepped-up police presence come 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. Republicans discussed security matters behind closed doors earlier this week at a private lunch. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said
in a floor speech Wednesday that senators will not be intimidated out of doing their jobs. McConnell cited an incident in which Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was forced to leave a restaurant last week and said another senator “reported having protesters physically block his car door. And some have seen organized far-left protesters camp out at their homes” and offices. “There is no chance in the
world they’re going to scare us out of doing our duty,” McConnell said. He said the Senate will be voting this week on Kavanaugh’s nomination. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said there’s “a lot of unprecedented activity taking place” because of the pitched battle over Kavanaugh, who would likely provide the decisive fifth vote for a conservative majority on the nine-member court.
US terminates 1955 treaty with Iran By MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer
WASHINGTON — In response to a U.N. court order that the U.S. lift sanctions on Iran, the Trump administration said Wednesday it was terminating a decades-old treaty affirming friendly relations between the two countries. The largely symbolic gesture highlights deteriorating relations between Washington and Tehran. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said withdrawing from the 1955 Treaty of Amity was long overdue and followed Iran “groundlessly” bringing a complaint with the International Court of Justice challenging U.S. sanctions on the basis that they were a violation of the pact. Meanwhile, national security adviser John Bolton said the administration also was pulling out of an amendment to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations that Iran or others, notably the Palestinians, could use to sue the U.S. at The Hague-based tribunal. Bolton told reporters at the White House that the provision violates U.S. sovereignty. “The United States will not sit idly by as baseless politicized claims are brought against us,” Bolton said. He cited a case brought to the court
LIMA, Peru (AP) — Peru’s Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned a medical pardon for former President Alberto Fujimori and ordered the strongman be returned to jail to serve out a long sentence for human rights abuses. Former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski pardoned Fujimori on humanitarian grounds last Christmas Eve in what was widely seen as an attempt to stave off impeachment by courting favor with Fujimori’s allies in Congress. Kuczynski resigned three months later. Almost from the outset, the ruling was slammed by human rights groups as a “pact of impunity,” while the Inter-American Court on Human Rights had also demanded that Peru review its legality. The high court in its 224page decision said the pardon was unlawful because Fujimori’s crimes are considered crimes against humanity, and therefore can’t be pardoned under Peruvian and international law. The presiding magistrate in the case ordered the 80-year-old
CANBERRA, Australia — A United Airlines flight from Los Angeles landed safely in Sydney on Thursday after the pilot warned the plane was running low on fuel, officials said. The U.S. airline said in a statement Flight 839 landed safely at Sydney International Airport “following a mechanical issue.” “The aircraft taxied to the gate and all customers disembarked normally,” the statement said. Sydney emergency services radioed that the airliner containing 230 people “has fuel issues and has issued a mayday.” Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority spokesman Peter Gibson said the airliner was given priority to land, but had not been in danger. “There’s an international standard that requires that once you get down to your fuel reserve in a flight that you have to declare what is called a ‘fuel mayday,’” Gibson said. “What that tells air traffic control and aircraft in the area is that you need priority to come in. It doesn’t mean you’re running out of fuel, you’ve still got plenty of fuel left, but it’s a precaution to say: ‘I’m down to my reserve and I need to come in as quickly as can be arranged,’” Gibson added. Gibson said stronger headwinds than were forecast for the 12,000-kilometer (7,500-mile) flight across the Pacific could burn more fuel than had been planned. Police said a full emergency response was activated at the airport “after a pilot reported a problem.” Some major roads surrounding the airport were closed as a precaution, a police statement said. Nine Network television reported that one its journalists Liz Hayes was aboard the plane and had been unaware that there had been any problem.
5 officers shot in South Carolina; suspect in custody FLORENCE, S.C. — Five South Carolina law enforcement officers were shot Wednesday in Florence County and the suspect is in custody, authorities said. Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Glenn Kirby confirmed the incident Wednesday, news outlets reported. Kirby said three Florence County sheriff’s deputies and two city officers were shot. John Wukela, a spokesman for the city of Florence, says city police, working with the sheriff’s office, were responding to an incident in the area when they came under fire. He did not have specific information on the numbers of officers involved but said some were seriously wounded. The Florence County Emergency Management Department tweeted that the “active shooting situation is over and the suspect is in custody.” Further details were not immediately available. Authorities said the shootings happened in Vintage Place, an upscale neighborhood in the western part of the city. Florence, a city in South Carolina’s northeastern corner home to roughly 37,000, sits at the convergence of Interstates 95 and 20. It’s the largest city in the region known as the Pee Dee, an area recently affected by heavy flooding in the wake of Hurricane Florence. — The Associated Press

by the “so-called state of Palestine” challenging the move of the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as the main reason for withdrawing. Bolton, who last month unleashed a torrent of criticism against the International Criminal Court, noted that previous Republican administrations had pulled out of various international agreements and bodies over “politicized cases.” He
said the administration would review all accords that might subject the U.S. to prosecution by international courts or panels. Earlier, Pompeo denounced the Iranian case before the U.N. court as “meritless” and said the Treaty of Amity was meaningless and absurd. “The Iranians have been ignoring it for an awfully long time, we ought to have pulled out of it decades ago,” he told
reporters at the State Department. The little-known treaty with Iran was among numerous such ones signed in the wake of World War II as the Truman and Eisenhower administrations tried to assemble a coalition of nations to counter the Soviet Union. Like many of the treaties, this one was aimed at encouraging closer economic relations and regulating diplomatic and consular ties.
Peru court overturns pardon of ex-leader Fujimori By FRANKLIN BRICENO Associated Press
Around the World
Fujimori be captured immediately so he can serve out the remaining 14 years of a 25-year sentence for his role in the killing of several civilians, including an 8-year-old boy, during raids by an anti-communist army unit created by his government. Two police officers entered the rented mansion in Lima where Fujimori has been living since his release to verify his whereabouts. His lawyer said he would abide by the ruling while appealing the decision. “Today is one of the saddest days in my life,” a weeping Keiko Fujimori, the former president’s daughter and current leader of the conservative Popular Force party, told a group of journalists outside her father’s residence. Fujimori, who governed from 1990 to 2000, remains a polarizing figure in Peru.

presidential election over writer Mario Vargas Llosa. Peru was being ravaged by runaway inflation and guerrilla violence when he took office. He quickly rebuilt the economy with mass privatizations of state industries. Defeating the fanatical Shining Path rebels took longer but his fight won him broadbased support. His presidency collapsed just as dramatically as his rise to power. After briefly shutting down Congress and putting himself into a third term, Fujimori fled the country in disgrace in 2000
after leaked videotapes showed his spy chief, Vladimiro Montesinos, bribing lawmakers. Fujimori went to Japan, his parents’ homeland, and famously sent in his resignation by fax. Five years later, he stunned supporters and enemies alike when he flew to neighboring Chile, where he was arrested and extradited to Peru. Fujimori’s goal was run for Peru’s presidency again in 2006, but instead he went to trial. Kuczynski said he was pardoning Fujimori because he suffered a heart condition made worse by prison conditions.

Yankees power way to Wild Card win over A’s Judge, Stanton go yard as New York advances to ALDS showdown against old rivals Red Sox By RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK — Aaron Judge got the party started with a two-run homer nine pitches in. By the time Giancarlo Stanton capped the mauling with monstrous drive in his postseason debut, New York Yankees fans already were looking ahead. “We want Boston!” they chanted. Coming up next. “It’s going to be intense,” CC Sabathia predicted after the Yankees pounded the Oakland Athletics 7-2 on Wednesday night to win their second straight AL wild-card game. New York will take a train to Boston for a best-of-five Division Series starting Friday night, a matchup of 100-win heavyweights. “I think they’re ready and relish the opportunity to go up against the game’s best this year,” Yankees rookie manager Aaron Boone said of his players. Boone remains a dirty word among the Fenway Park faithful. His 11thinning homer in Game 7 of the 2003 AL Championship Series beat the Red Sox. A year later the Boston overcame the Yankees and became the first major league team to overcome a 3-0 postseason deficit. The Red Sox went on to win their first World Series since 1918, but Boone’s drive off Tim Wakefield has not been forgotten or forgiven. Boston went 10-9 against the Yankees this year and set a club record with 108 wins. New York became the first team since the 2001 A’s to reach triple digits in wins and fail to finish first. “We’ve just got to do our homework and come out swinging,” said Luke Voit, who broke open the game with a two-run triple in a four-run sixth.
Luis Severino atoned for last year’s flop in the wild-card game against Minnesota, pitching no-hit shutout ball into the fifth, Dellin Betances entered with two on and got six straight outs as part of a five-hitter and the Yankees extending their home postseason winning streak to seven. Severino let out a primal scream after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the fourth with a 99.6 fastball — his fastest pitch of the night — to strike out Marcus Semien. Yankees fans fretted about an all-ornothing knockout match, thinking back to last year when Severino fell behind Minnesota 3-0 just 10 pitches in. New York rallied for an 8-4 win against the Twins, but the memory remained raw. Severino retired his first three batters in order on 10 pitches “I think the first inning was huge for me, after all the stuff that people say on social media, all of that stuff,” he explained. Andrew McCutchen walked leading off the bottom half against reliever-turned starter Liam Hendricks, and Judge hit a drive over the left-field scoreboard, joining Reggie Jackson as the only Yankees with four home runs in their first seven postseason home games. “I was already excited from the national anthem on,” said Judge, who hit his second homer since returning in mid-September after missing seven weeks with a broken right wrist. Short on options, A’s manager Bob Melvin opted for baseball’s latest fad: starting a reliever. Hendriks (the loser) had not allowed a home run since June 24, the night before he was cut from the major league roster. “Got into some bad counts and they

made me pay,” Hendriks said. Voit’s two-run triple missed a home run by inches. Stanton added a 443-foot drive off closer Blake Treinen in the eighth that landed in left field’s second deck, completing a power show by the team that set a major league record for most home runs in a season. Stanton’s drive left the bat at 117.4 mph and Judge’s 116.1 mph, the hardest-hit postseason home runs since measuring be-
gan in 2015. A sellout crowd enjoyed one of those boisterous Bronx celebrations that used to be an October staple. “Early in the game they’re going to be loud. It’s our job to try to take them out of it,” Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. “This is a tough ballpark to play in.” Oakland has lost eight straight winner-take-all postseason games since beating Willie Mays and the
New York Mets in Game 7 of the 1973 World Series, and dropped all four of their postseason matchups against the Yankees. “It’s pretty hard but I’m not disappointed at all,” said big league home run champion Khris Davis, who hit a two-run homer off Zach Britton in the eighth. “I think we showed some people we can do some things and I think next year, we’re a little bit more of a threat.”
Defending NHL champs Capitals thrash Bruins in opener By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin and the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals opened their title defense with a 7-0 thrashing of the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night. After watching the franchise’s first Stanley Cup banner ascend to the rafters, T.J. Oshie opened the scoring just 24 seconds in, and Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the first of his two goals 1 1/2 minutes later to get the rout off to a fast start. It was the fastest first two goals by a de-
fending champion in a season opener in NHL history — and it was just the beginning. By midway through the second period, the Capitals chased goalie Tuukka Rask with five goals on 19 shots and ignited chants of “Back-to-back! Backto-back!” from the fired-up crowd. Braden Holtby stopped all 25 shots he faced to improve to 15-2 with four shutouts against the Bruins. The emotional banner ceremony featured montages from the Capitals’ playoff run
Capitals’ Wilson banned 20 games By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON — Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson was banned 20 games by the NHL on Wednesday for a blindside hit to the head of an opponent during a preseason game, the latest and most severe punishment in what the league called an “unprecedented” series of suspensions for the physical player. The right winger’s fourth ban in less than 13 months will cost him nearly a quarter of the 82-game regular season — only five NHL players have been suspended longer for onice play — and $1.26 million in salary. “I was pretty surprised. I think it’s unfortunate for Tom that the league is making an example out
of him,” Washington forward T.J. Oshie said. “They set the standards; they want to get the dirty stuff out of the game.” It was announced just hours before the reigning Stanley Cup champion Capitals opened their title defense by beating the visiting Boston Bruins 7-0. Wilson did not play, but he was introduced along with his teammates during the pregame banner-raising ceremony and skated onto the ice in uniform. Wilson, a member of Washington’s top line with captain Alex Ovechkin, was ejected for the hit on St. Louis Blues center Oskar Sundqvist in the second period of the teams’ exhibition game on Sunday. Wilson had an in-person hearing with the NHL’s Department of Player Safety in New York on Wednesday.
Cubs player Russell suspended 40 games CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs infielder Addison Russell accepted a 40-game suspension Wednesday for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy after a series of allegations made by his ex-wife. Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the ban and said MLB had completed its investigation into the accusations made by Melisa Reidy. Russell had denied the allegations, which Reidy detailed in a blog post in September. Russell’s unpaid suspension includes the 11 regularseason games he missed after being placed on administrative leave Sept. 21. Russell will
be eligible to return on May 3 against St. Louis, barring any postponements, and he will not appeal the suspension. He will also participate in an evaluation and treatment program. Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said he’s not sure what the odds are of Russell playing another game for the Cubs. “Domestic violence is everyone’s problem,” he said. “Because of that, we all have an obligation to be part of the solution as well. The discipline in a case like this is part of the solution going forward and so we support Major League Baseball’s decision and we think it’s appropriate.”
and ensuing celebrations and a roar when Ovechkin carried the freshly engraved Cup onto the ice and skated a lap with it. Minutes after Ovechkin kissed the Cup and put it back in its box, he and his teammates blew away any concern about an emotional letdown and began making a statement that they want to win it back. MAPLE LEAFS 3, CANADIENS 2, OT TORONTO (AP) — Auston
Matthews scored his second goal of the game in overtime, John Tavares scored his first goal for Toronto and the Maple Leafs beat Montreal in the opener for both teams. Matthews took a feed from Patrick Marleau and beat goalie Carey Price 1:01 into the extra period. Frederik Andersen stopped 34 shots, and Nazem Kadri had two assists for the Maple Leafs. Artturi Lehkonen and Andrew Shaw scored for Montreal, and Price made 23 saves. Max Domi, the son of former Leafs tough guy Tie Domi, had two assists in his first game for the Canadiens.
DUCKS 5, SHARKS 2 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — John Gibson made 31 saves, Brandon Montour scored the tiebreaking goal with 11:58 to play and the Anaheim Ducks spoiled Erik Karlsson’s San Jose debut. Rickard Rakell added a goal and two assists, Max Comtois scored on his opening shift in the NHL and Adam Henrique also had a goal in the first game for the Ducks since getting swept in the first round by San Jose last spring. Jakob Silfverberg had three assists and Carter Rowney scored an emp-
ty-net goal for Anaheim.
CANUCKS 5, FLAMES 2 VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Rookie Elias Pettersson scored on his first shot in his first NHL game, and Vancouver beat Calgary. Nikolay Goldobin, Brendan Leipsic, Jake Virtanen and Jason Motte also scored for Vancouver. Jacob Markstrom stopped 33 shots. Matthew Tkachuk and Sean Monahan had goals for the Flames, and Mike Smith finished with 18 saves.

P
ardon us, but there’s no deflating the focus whenever Andrew Luck and the Colts head to Gillette Stadium. Like everyone else, Pro Picks would be leaving its readers flat if it didn’t mention the saga of footballs without enough air that penetrated the AFC championship game in the 2014 season when New England hosted Indianapolis. It would also be shirking our responsibility to ignore the fact that, like four years ago, this is pretty much a mismatch. The Patriots get back Tom Brady’s favorite wideout, Julian Edelman, a few days after seemingly fixing their problems on both sides of the ball as they routed Miami. The Patriots have won the past five regular-season matchups and the past seven overall. New England, No. 7 in the AP Pro32, is a hefty — some might say inflated — 10½-point favorite over No. 25 Indianapolis. We think it’s no problem giving up that many.

Rams aren’t buying own hype of Super Bowl favorites By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — The Los Angeles Rams realize they’re a popular Super Bowl pick after their spectacular first quarter of the season. Pundits, fans and other teams seem to be lining up to praise them. While they appreciate the respect, this is a profoundly weird experience for any Rams
who were around even two years ago for the franchise’s less-than-glorious return to LA after a decade of losing in St. Louis. This team doesn’t have much experience in being the favorites for anything, and the Rams are wary of the role. “I hate it,” said Michael Brockers, who has been on the defensive line for seven years. “I hate looking at ‘SportsCenter’ and they’ve
got you at the top of the power rankings,” Brockers added with a smile. “It’s just like, you know, stop crowning us! For me, I’m a humble guy. I don’t want to be crowned. I always want the attitude of being the hungry dog, being the underdog, because you almost seem to be more hungrier when you play like that.” Nobody with any experience in the Rams’ locker room has forgotten that this franchise
is just one year removed from streaks of 13 consecutive losing seasons and 12 consecutive non-playoff seasons. Humility is relatively easy with that struggle still on their minds, according to the players and coaches who went through it. Jared Goff doesn’t even turn 24 until next Sunday, but he remembers going 0-7 as a rookie starter for the hapless Rams of 2016. “I don’t think we’re getting
any bit caught up in anything,” said Goff, who’s second in the NFL with 1,406 yards passing after his outstanding effort against Minnesota. “I think a lot of people on this team, being part of that team two years ago, understand how easy it is to be on the other side of it, and you don’t ever want to go back there. You understand the work that needs to be put in to stay where you’re at.” Receiver Robert Woods said
it’s “easy” to ignore the attention the Rams (4-0) are getting. “It’s just buzz,” he said. “It’s just noise. We’ve been on both sides. We’ve been not talked about, and now we’re being talked about, but it’s really just focus. We know how it goes. We had a great year last year and fell short, and I think this year the team is just focused. No outside distractions. Don’t blink. Just focus on one goal.”

Track Palin to spend year in custody after assault By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — The oldest son of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will spend a year in custody after a judge ruled Wednesday that allegations of hitting a woman on the head disqualified him from a therapeutic program for veterans tied to a separate assault case. Track Palin, 29, has been accused of three attacks on people close to him over the past few years, the most recent coming last week against a female acquaintance. Palin, an Army veteran who served a year in Iraq, entered a program intended to rehabilitate veterans after he was arrested in an assault on his father less than a year ago. Anchorage District Court Judge David Wallace told Track Palin that he violated conditions of a plea agreement in the earlier case and must report to a halfway house at month’s end. The Department of Corrections will determine if he serves time at the halfway
house or behind bars. Anchorage District Attorney Richard Allen said jail time is unlikely. The judge could have chosen to let Palin remain in Alaska Veterans Court, which gives eligible former service members the option of enrolling in mental health treatment instead of a traditional sentence. Before Wallace issued his decision, Palin said he appreciated the opportunity to participate in the program in Anchorage. He acknowledged it was a challenge taking part because he had to come in from the Mat-Su Valley, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) away. Palin attended the hearing with his father, Todd Palin, who also spoke briefly in court, saying he wished his son would be allowed to remain in veterans court. Asked if they wanted to comment before the hearing, Todd Palin declined. Track Palin said, “Pay me, I will.� Track Palin was arrested Friday night after a female
acquaintance said he told her that she could not leave his house in Wasilla, took away her phone and then hit her in the head, according to court documents. The woman said the pair wrestled over the phone and that Palin let her leave after she screamed for help, according to an affidavit by Alaska State Troopers. They said Palin told them that the two were arguing over how they said goodbye and that any injuries the woman had she did to herself. Authorities say he also kicked over a table and threw his head back at a trooper as he was arrested. Palin is in jail facing misdemeanor charges including assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Last December, Palin was accused of breaking into his parents’ home and leaving his father, Todd Palin, bleeding from cuts on his head, authorities have said. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in veterans court. Track Palin’s arrangement called for him to serve 10
Black bear breaks into Juneau hospital By KEVIN GULLUFSEN Juneau Empire
Staff and patients at a Juneau hospital received a surprise visitor on Monday evening. It wasn’t another patient in unbearable pain, but something different: A yearling black bear wandered into the receiving entrance of Bartlett Regional Hospital’s emergency room. The bear had been poking around the hospital all day, said Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologist Roy Churchwell. There was some evidence that it had found a food source near the entrance. “When we captured it, it was eating rose hips. They had some rose hips fruiting outside,� Churchwell said. Hospital security shooed the bear off shortly after it arrived and no one was hurt, said BRH spokesperson Katie Bausler. But witnesses were left with a good story to tell. Respiratory Therapist Nelea Fenumiai had just finished doing electrocardiography work in the Emergency Department when she heard an announcement about a bear in the entry way. Fenumiai captured the bear on camera and provided

the Empire with these photos through Bausler. The bear, which arrived at about 5 p.m, was chased out by security shortly after and didn’t make it far into the building. Bartlett staff called ADFG to report the bear encounter. Department staff determined the best course of action was to capture the yearling bear alive as its persistence told them it could be a threat to itself or others. “In this case we decided to capture this bear because it
was very persistent about being around the entrances to the hospital,� Churchwell said. The yearling bear has been separated from its sow but is in the early stages of its independent life. It was transported on Wednesday to the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where it will be used in a study. If the young bear wanted access to a hospital, it may get that wish. Churchwell said the UAF study it will now participate in investigates using MRI machines on wildlife.

Now, the company is in the permitting process with Willow Discovery and hopes to begin production by 2025. “It means thousands of jobs for Alaskans,� Bruner said. “There’s a significant amount of tax and oil revenue that comes with that development.� Bruner said additional exploration is planned and that the company is primarily looking at the production of horizontal wells.

These jobs included ongoing construction and exploration of the site.

At the end of the presentation, Bruner shared upcoming challenges Conoco may be facing in the future, which included Alaska Ballot Measure 1, and changes in state tax regime. “The likelihood of (Alaska Ballot Measure 1) slowing down or completely stopping our ability to continue our development on the North Slope is real,� Bruner said. She said the company carries more than 150 permits across the North Slope. “I think it’s an asset for the state and I’m excited to be a part of it,� she said. “And I’m excited for the growth and potential in front of us.�

Bethel man cited after Facebook post advertising moose meat BETHEL (AP) — A Bethel man has been accused of advertising the sale of moose meat on Facebook, an action illegal under Alaska law. Alaska Wildlife Trooper Walter Blajeski said he issued a citation to Arnold Lupie last month after seeing his online ad for moose meat, KYUK-AM reported last week. A resident had alerted Blajeski to the ad selling moose meat and ribs for $25 a bag.
Blajeski contacted Lupie, who said he did not sell any of the meat and immediately removed the ad, Blajeski said. Lupie said he didn’t know the sale of big game meat was illegal. If he had sold the meat, it could have led to a misdemeanor charge. Posts advertising sales of subsistence foods are often present on a community Facebook page for the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta area. Selling is illegal, but
the bartering of many subsistence meats is allowed. “Now obviously, each situation is going to be somewhat different,� Blajeski said. “The scale and size and scope of that operation will be taken into account.� While subsistence game cannot be sold in Alaska — except rabbit meat — subsistence fish caught in federal waters can be sold to non-commercial entities.

Hannah Gustafson, of MAPP, said the event was an opportunity to focus on some positive things, especially when the focus is usually on the negative. “In all of our community health needs assessments, substance abuse has been a top concern of our community members,� she said. As the movement to tackle substance abuse grows, Gustafson said she’d like “to really have Homer be a place that welcomes people in recovery and supports people in recovery, and has the services needed for recovery.� Baker said another aspect of
the event is to tackle the stigma that exists against people who are addicted or recovering. “There’s a lot of ugliness, and so what we wanted to talk about was that hope is out there,â€? she said. â€œâ€Ś I would say half this group is in recovery, and the other half of us love someone that’s (affected by addiction).â€?

Andy Miller quit after making it just past half way to his goal, but he has 28 new songs to show for it. Miller, at least for a long time,” Miller said.
Grant goals
Miller’s expansive project began as an attempt to secure a Rasmuson Foundation Grant, which would be used to purchase better recording gear. “Last year, I did an album, and I thought maybe I could get a grant for some equipment,” Miller said. So he started recording songs in January of this year and made a proposal. Andy Miller, a Juneau musician, released an album of 28 songs about Alaska titled, “Alaska “I didn’t get it,” Miller said. in 28 Songs.” The project started with a goal of writing 49 songs for the 49th state, but Miller “I didn’t have a resume, but I fatigue set in, and he released the project as a a pay-what-you-want Bandcamp album.

‘The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein’ — A dark tale made darker The Bookwork Sez Your future was laid out before. It’s all set. You have plans, and a method to execute them. Each step of your journey will progress in order, just as it’s meant to be, and any bumps in the road will be dealt with accordingly. As in “The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein” by Kiersten White, it will take monstrous focus. It had been much too long. Months had turned to years and though he’d promised to write and tell Elizabeth where he was, Victor rarely did so; indeed, this time, it had taken cunning and a delicate lie for her to find him in the Bavarian village of Ingolstadt. Now, she’d go to him. Surely, he must need her. She had no other choice. When she was but 5 years old, the Frankensteins had purchased Elizabeth from her stepmother, a cruel woman who lied and said that the fair, golden-haired Elizabeth was high-born. When brought to the Frankenstein estate, Elizabeth understood that she was Madame Frankenstein’s best
hope, just as she instantly knew that she never wanted to leave, that staying was based on taming young Victor and his mercurial ways. She had to win him over, then she had to make him think he needed her. Later, she had to keep him thinking so. Without it, Elizabeth would be unnecessary, tossed out with nothing to call her own. And so she spent her entire life at Victor’s side, keeping him happy. It was she who spun fanciful tales and crafted playful scenarios that kept Victor’s anger at bay. It was she who first befriended Henry Clerval; she who saved Justine, the perfect governess, for the little brothers that Victor never seemed to want around. Indeed, he needed her. But in finding Victor in Ingolstadt, Elizabeth discovered something else, something so horrible that she destroyed his laboratory and notes so that no one else would know the truth about him or what he’d done. Nobody would know the truth — least of all, she…. Sometimes, you like to sit down with a nice little gothic novel. See BOOK, page B2
‘Black 47’ — a devastating hidden gem R eeling It In C hris J enness Quite often with this column, I am looking for that underseen gem that few people saw or have heard of, but is definitely worth a look. Sometimes this is by necessity — just couldn’t make it to the theater — and sometimes it’s because there’s nothing on worth watching (“Smallfoot” in both theaters? Really?). Unfortunately it’s a gamble. Sometimes I hit on something good, but just as often I find something lame, or worse, boring, and my review ends up along the lines of “Here’s something you’ve never heard of. Now don’t go watch it.” Check out my review a couple of weeks ago of “UFO” for an exa mple. Fortunately, this week was better. “Black ‘47” is an Irish film set during the devastating potato famine of the mid-19th century, and bears the distinction of being the only film I’ve ever seen where a good portion of the dialogue is in subtitled Gaelic. Whatever else there is to recommend this film, no one can deny it has major atmosphere. It gets right into the mud of that blasted landscape and wallows around in it in a way I haven’t seen since “Winter’s Bone.” The color palate is muted and the lighting is perfect. Feeney is a small-town boy who, in order to take the burden off his poor family, joined up with the British army to fight overseas. In a chilling parallel to his modern day counterparts, Feeney comes home a veteran of battles in the Middle East and Asia. The equivalent of See 47, page B2

proceeded with doing it, because I thought it could build that resume.” The songs came along quickly in winter and early spring, Miller said, and he was on pace for 49 in April. “At some point, I started having many going at one time, which I think helped a lot,” Miller said. But progress slowed this summer, and Miller decided to pull the plug on the effort and release the dozens of songs he had completed.
The spice of life
Miller recorded the album himself playing keyboard and guitar using inexpensive equipment and software. Some drum tracks were recorded, but they didn’t make the cut. “If I had better equipment, I might have tried weirder stuff,” Miller said. To change things up, Miller would sometimes distort the sound of his guitar, add piano to a track or write in a different key. “I was definitely changing the key,” Miller said. “That can change tone a little bit.”
Where to start listening
“Alaska in 28 Songs” was inspired by similarly sizable albums by the Magnetic Fields, works tied to a sense of place such as “Illinois” and “Michigan” by Sufjan Stevens and the lo-fi eclecticism of Guided By Voices. Miller said he wanted to make sure there was variety in the album’s songs and the locales that inspired songs. He said it wasn’t difficult to pick places to write and sing about. “A lot of them just chose themselves,” Miller said. But in some cases, additional online research was required. Varying the Bandcamp album’s sound took some work, too.
Miller said he knows the majority of listeners won’t sit down and listen to 28 songs, and he had a suggestion about where not to start. Many locals may be tempted to dive in with “The Sensitive Men of Juneau,” but Miller advised against it. Last year, Miller released 15 songs about Juneau, and he included a track about his hometown on the new album out of a sense of obligation. “The Juneau song might actually be the weakest,” Miller said. Instead, Miller said he hopes people will listen to things in order. “Chronology is kind of the intent,” he said. “Start at the beginning.”

sneer at you, no matter who you are. She’s also manipulative, in a modern way that’s surprising in a Victorian-set novel. Part of you will wish she gets eaten by the inevitable monster. Part of you will think she is the monster. All of you will be chilled. While this book may be shelved in the Young Adult section, it’s an equal delight for older readers who love the classic tale of evil science. “The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein” is the perfect creepy companion, if you’re familiar with the story before.

And that’s just how “The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein” starts out: a nice little gothic novel that softly snarls as you turn the pages. And turn them, you will, because author Kiersten White makes you want to know exactly how Elizabeth fits into the classic tale of a mad scientist and his monster. Meanwhile, you’ll hate her; she’s vain and disdainful, the kind of character who’d

a special forces soldier, he deserts after the futility of it all overwhelms him. But futility isn’t easy to escape as Feeney returns to a home bereft of family, who have been driven out, starved out, or executed. When a callous landowner drives the last remaining members of his clan out of their home into the freezing night, Feeney loses all connection to humanity and any reason to act with moderation. What follows is a murderous revenge tale that is as sad as it is thrilling. This movie isn’t a lot of fun, but definitely worth seeking out. As Feeney, actor James Frecheville is dynamic even in his stoicism. Better still is veteran Hugo Weaving as the similarly shellshocked Inspector Hannah — a man who is as broken as his prey, if not more so. Weaving has proved a versatile character actor in some of the biggest franchises in history, but he’s not always asked to do particularly hefty work. Here you can see him really acting and it’s great. Grade: AThere’s something really satisfying about going into a film with little to no information and coming out with something to treasure. That sense of discovery is exciting. With that in mind, here’s a few little seen treasures to seek out for yourself. “In Bruge” Directed by Martin McDonough in 2008, “In Bruge” is another Irish film, but one with a decidedly different tone. Starring Colin Farrell, Brendon Gleeson, and, briefly Peter Dinklage, it’s a darkly comic tale about hitmen on the run after a job goes terribly wrong. Farrell and Gleeson give incredible performances , managing the tonal shifts perfectly. The movie is, at turns, hilarious, tragic, thrilling, and contemplative. I liked this film so much better than McDonough’s latest, “Three
Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” Grade: A+ “The Brothers Bloom” A lot of people know who Rian Johnson is today, mostly for the incredibly polarized reactions by fans to “The Last Jedi.” (Sidenote: A recent study shows that a significant percentage of the hate that film got was orchestrated by the same Russian troll/hackers that worked to influence the 2016 election. Crazy!) Before he worked on blockbusters, however, he was known as the author of stylish, twisty thrillers like “Looper” and “Brick.” Most people forget, however, my favorite Rian Johnson movie, “The Brothers Bloom” from 2008. “Bloom” stars Adrian Brody and Mark Ruffalo as con men brothers, one of whom wants out and the other who wants one last score. If you like movies about con men, this movie is for you. Really, if you like movies, this movie is for you. It’s funny, sweet, sharply written, and constantly surprising. Grade: A+ “The Station Agent” Another movie with Peter Dinklage, “The Station Agent” is from 2003 and tells the tale of a man adrift in his own life. Somewhat prickly due to people’s reactions to his size, Dinklage plays Finbar McBride as a man who’s grown so accustomed to negativity, he can’t seem to accept his own good fortune. After inheriting a small train depot in rural New Jersey, this jaded city dweller relocates and finds himself among an eclectic small town population. It’s sweet, funny, and incredibly heartwarming, without ever turning saccharine. Grade: A+ “Black ’47” is rated R for gruesome violence. “In Bruge” is rated R for language, nudity, violence and drug use. “The Brothers Bloom” is rated PG-13 for brief strong language and violence. “The Station Agent” is rated R for language.

French court rules Pissarro painting belongs to Jewish heirs By SAMUEL PETREQUIN AP Sports Writer
PARIS — A Paris appeals court on Tuesday upheld a ruling ordering an American couple to return a Camille Pissarro painting to the descendants of a Jewish family that owned the art work before it was seized during World War II. The couple, prominent Philadelphia collectors Bruce and Robbi Toll, loaned Pissarro’s “La Cueillette des Pois” (“Picking Peas”) to a Paris museum for an exhibition last year. But the painting from the impressionist master was placed in temporary escrow after one of the heirs of the Jewish family recognized it and sued to get it back. The Tolls, who are also Jewish, said they did not know when they bought the Pissarro that it had been stolen by France’s war-era Vichy regime from Jewish collector Simon Bauer. The lawyer representing Bauer’s descendants, Cedric Fischer, said Tuesday’s ruling “sanctions the right of the victims of acts of barbarity committed by the Vichy regime to recover, without limit of duration, the goods they have been
disposed of.” A civil court last year ruled that the Tolls didn’t act in bad faith when they bought the painting from Christie’s auction house more than two decades ago. But it said that sales of all goods looted from Jewish people by the French Vichy regime or its Nazi allies during the war were declared void by France’s post-war authorities in 1945. Judges didn’t award any financial compensation for the couple, who purchased the painting for $800,000 in 1995. The Bauer family had previously received 109,304 euros ($126.373) in compensation for losing the painting. Fischer told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday that his clients have committed to return that money once they have the painting back. Painted by Pissarro in 1887, the canvas was confiscated by French authorities after Bauer’s relatives found out it was on display in Paris as part of an exhibition and filed a lawsuit to have the work returned. In his statement, Fischer said his clients now hope the Tolls will “respect the decision of the Paris Court of Appeal and not to keep going

with the procedures which only aggravate the harm they have suffered.” Messages left with Toll’s suburban Philadelphia office and an email seeking comment weren’t returned Tuesday. Bauer’s collection of more than 90 paintings was confiscated in 1943 by the Vichy regime, which collaborated with the Nazis, and sold by a vendor designated by the General Commissariat for Jewish
Questions. After Simon Bauer’s death in 1947, his grandson JeanJacques began the search for the stolen art. He has recovered only a few pieces. According to Fischer, the painting is now worth about $1.75 million, the price paid by the Tolls for its insurance. He said last year the painting was first bought by Theo van Gogh, the brother of Vincent van Gogh, who purchased it from Pissarro.
Biography of playwright, activist Larry Kramer in the works By MARK KENNEDY AP Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK — The first biography of playwright and gay activist Larry Kramer will be written with the full support of the subject himself. Bill Goldstein has been tapped to write the authorized biography by Henry Holt and Co. The book, not yet titled, will draw on interviews with Kramer; his husband David Webster; friends and foes; as well as papers in Kramer’s archives at Yale University. Goldstein will have complete editorial freedom. Kramer, now 83, wrote “The Normal Heart” for the stage and the screenplay for the film “Women in Love.” He is best known for his public fight to secure medical treatment, acceptance and civil rights for people with AIDS. He co-founded the Gay Men’s Health Crisis and founded Act Up, which has provided a model for liberation movements, including Black Lives Matter and #MeToo. “Larry, in private, as with many people, is often very different from what his public persona is and I think people don’t often understand his hu-
mor or how beloved he is by his friends,” Goldstein said in an interview Wednesday. “And then there are people who were his enemies — sometimes they’re the same person. So I hope to capture all of that. No one is neutral about Larry Kramer.” The biography will trace Kramer’s life and activism but also will dive deeply into his writing. “My goal is to take him seriously as a writer because that’s what he began as and that is what he continues to be, whether it’s a screenwriter, a novelist or a playwright, and he’s had so much impact in each of those areas,” Goldstein said. Goldstein is the author of “The World Broke in Two: Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, D.H. Lawrence, E.M. Forster and the Year That Changed Literature.” Goldstein reviews books on NBC4’s “Weekend Today in New York,” is curator of public programs at Roosevelt House at Hunter College, and was the founding editor of the books site of NYTimes.com. Goldstein first met Kramer in 1985 when “The Normal Heart” made its debut and the two have occasionally met over the years. “I feel that he

shaped our time and, in many ways, shaped my own life,” said Goldstein. In his proposal, he wrote: “There is probably
no other writer in America, or the world, who is responsible for saving so many lives with his writing.”
Tim Allen wins TV bragging rights over Candice Bergen By DAVID BAUDER AP Media Writer
NEW YORK — After the first week of the television season, Tim Allen has bragging rights over Candice Bergen. The return of Allen’s sitcom, “Last Man Standing,” reached 8.1 million viewers on Fox last Friday night. That was more than the 7.5 million people who tuned into the revival of Bergen’s “Murphy Brown” on CBS the night before. CBS heavily promoted the return of “Murphy Brown” after two decades, and Hillary Clinton had a cameo in the first episode. But the show’s first episode back couldn’t match the numbers reached by other recent revivals like “Roseanne” (18.4 million for its first episode back on ABC last March) and “Will & Grace” (10.2 million on NBC a year ago). “Last Man Standing” had been gone just a year, canceled by ABC in a decision that Allen said left him “stunned and blindsided.” But Fox brought it back, and on its first week it was the network’s most popular entertainment show, particularly impressive considering Friday is one of the least-watched nights on television. ABC said its decision was strictly business after it decided against airing comedies on Friday, but there were political overtones. Allen supports President Donald Trump and his lead character, Mike Baxter, has been described as Archie Bunker with a college educa-
tion. Some conservatives said the cancellation was proof that they weren’t valued as customers in liberal Hollywood. The victory over “Murphy Brown” was “a very big upset,” said Marc Berman, a veteran television analyst who runs the Programming Insider. “Murphy Brown” had the misfortune of competing against real-life politics, since the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh aired the day of its premiere, giving big boosts that evening to Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who together reached nearly 10 million viewers on their own, Nielsen said. The traditional opening week of the fall season wasn’t bad; an average of 27 million people watched ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC in prime time, Nielsen said, and that was up 3 percent over the first week last year, when the four networks had 26.22 million. That was achieved despite a busy news week that helped the cable news networks. The 7.79 million people who watched either CNN, Fox News Channel or MSNBC were up 31 percent from the same week a year earlier, Nielsen said. “That’s a very good sign,” Berman said. Fox broadcasting was up a whopping 70 percent over opening week last year, partly due to “Last Man Standing” but mostly due to the network winning the rights to show

Thursday-night NFL football. CBS, which aired Thursday football a year ago, was down 12 percent. NBC, which had impressive showings for the first week of the new dramas “Manifest” and “New Amsterdam,” were slightly up over last year. ABC still hasn’t rolled out its complete fall schedule. For the week, CBS averaged 8.4 million viewers in prime time to lead the way. NBC had 7.9 million, ABC had 5.4 million, Fox had 5.3 million, Univision had 1.32 million, Telemundo had 1.25 million, ION Television had 1.1 million and the CW had 640,000. Fox News Channel was the week’s most popular cable network, averaging 3.15 million viewers in prime time. ESPN had 2.46 million, MSNBC had 2.06 million, CNN had 1.17 million and USA had 1.15 million.
ABC’s “World News Tonight” topped the evening newscasts with an average of 8.2 million viewers. NBC’s “Nightly News” was second with 7.6 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 5.7 million viewers. For the week of Sept. 2430, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Football: Baltimore at Pittsburgh, NBC, 17.92 million; NFL Football: Minnesota at L.A. Rams, Fox, 14.51 million; “60 Minutes,” CBS, 13.54 million; “The Big Bang Theory” (Monday), CBS, 12.93 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 12.57 million; NFL Football: Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay, ESPN, 12.22 million; “The Big Bang Theory” (Thursday), CBS, 12.05 million; “NFL Pre-Kick,” NBC, 11.19 million; “Young Sheldon” (Monday), CBS, 10.59 million; “This is Us,” NBC, 10.55 million.

Couple looking to the future differs on starting a family low Truffle on the furniture. We have a dog and love her to pieces, but feel that furniture is for humans. Because our family likes to relax by sprawling on the couch at times, it’s not as pleasant once a pet has been lying there. My husband has voiced this concern but has been ignored. We are going to visit my parents soon, and I’m wondering how to handle this. We love everyone Abigail Van Buren and don’t want to hurt their feelings. I appreciate your advice. -- OFF THE COUCH IN COLORADO DEAR OFF THE COUCH: If you and your husband prefer that animals stay off the furniture in your home, that’s your privilege. In your home, your rules should be respected. If your parents choose to ignore your request, they should stay in a pet-friendly hotel or leave Truffle at home. HOWEVER, when you visit in their home, their rules should apply. And if your husband doesn’t want to sit or lie on their couch because of the animal hair or the odor, he should sit on a dining chair that can
be wiped down, take a washable cover to throw on the couch or stay home. DEAR ABBY: I’ve had an online friend for three years. We met on a dating/flirt app in high school and recently met in person. We aren’t currently dating, but it’s inevitable at this point. He’s funny, down-to-earth and good-looking as hell! What he doesn’t know is that prior to meeting him, I had a relationship with a woman, and I think I’m in love with her. I broke things off with her, but now I miss her more and more. I want to reach out to her, but I want him and me to get closer as well. What should I do? -- GIRL WITH OPTIONS IN MAINE DEAR G.W.O.: What you should do is be honest with both of them and let the scenario play out naturally. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Good advice for everyone -- teens to seniors -- is in “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It.” To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Anger Booklet, P.O.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Get down to basics when having a discussion. You cannot avoid a conversation for long -- and the sooner you have it, the better. Your anger is close to the surface. Try to avoid an eruption of fury. Be careful if you feel hot under the collar. Tonight: Follow your friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You decide to have a longoverdue conversation with a higherup. You could have difficulty getting a situation under control, especially as you might be harboring some un-

defined resentment or anger. Honor your differences. Tonight: Out and about, strutting your stuff. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH When trying to piece together a problematic situation, detach and try to imagine what it is like to be in the other person’s shoes. Identifying with others helps you come up with a reasonable solution for all parties involved. Tonight: Go see a movie with a loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You are able to look at a problem from a unique perspective. As a result of your unusual view, you see what others don’t. In fact, a solution might not be needed, but rather understanding and empathy toward each other. Ask questions, if necessary. Tonight: Opt to be a team. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Defer to others, and let them clearly express their agendas. You are unlikely to lose yourself if you allow another person to dominate for a while. You also might understand why you do not like being as passive as you are. Tonight: At a favorite spot with favorite people. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Deal with a work-related matter. Your schedule might be intense and very busy. You could wonder what way would be best to present a new idea. You might want to wait for now. Ask a close loved one if you are projecting negativity. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. BORN TODAY Actress Susan Sarandon (1946), author Anne Rice (1941), basketball player Derrick Rose (1988)
GO TO THE USO! Dear Heloise: After reading them, I donate my books to the local USO. That way, our wonderful servicemen and -women can choose one to take with them at no charge. A small way to thank them for their service. -- Pat in Brea, Calif. Pat, the United Service Organizations (www.USO.org) is a nonprofit organization, founded in 1941, that provides support and entertainment to boost morale for military personnel. There are four USO locations in my San Antonio area alone. They would love to receive books! Also check with the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans. Be sure to get a tax receipt for your records. -- Heloise PURSE PREDICAMENT Dear Readers: How much does your purse or daily tote bag weigh? A big, full bag can cause bad posture, a sore back and shoulders and, literally, a pain in the neck. How to lessen the load? * Leave books and magazines at home. * A bigger, well-organized wallet, surprisingly, can lessen the weight of your bag. * Throwing loose facial tissues, receipts and business cards in your bag can lead to messiness, which can weigh you down. * Switching your bag from shoulder to shoulder can help distribute pressure on your body. * Chains and long, thin handles are not the best choice. An average bag can weigh around 6 1/2 pounds. Staying organized can help you accomplish more, with less clutter and items in your bag. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a strong relationship with my girlfriend for five years. We are very much in love. I have told her I don’t want to get married and have kids until I have attained some level of success. She understands my desire to be a good provider, but she’s 29 and worried about her biological clock if she waits much longer. I work full time, take night classes and I’m trying to put myself on a promising career path. Is my request unreasonable? We want it to work, but being able to provide at least a middle-class lifestyle is very important to me. -- AMBITIOUS GUY IN SAN DIEGO DEAR AMBITIOUS: It would be wonderful if there was a blueprint for success in life and marriage, but too often, “life” intervenes. You and your girlfriend should have a serious discussion about the future, because you both have to be comfortable with what happens next. If she wants to start a family right away and you feel you can’t afford it, neither of you will be happy. If she’s willing to wait another few years to start a family (her biological clock should still be ticking, or she could freeze her eggs), then it’s important you agree about what needs to be in place financially in order for that to happen. DEAR ABBY: My parents like to visit us and bring along their little dog, “Truffle.” We are happy to have them and their dog, however we have an issue. My parents al-
