In the news Bear, cubs kill an Alaska worker at remote silver mine JUNEAU (AP) — A female bear and her two cubs mauled and killed a young man working at a remote mine site on a southeast Alaska island with one of the highest bear densities in the state, authorities said Monday. Anthony David Montoya, 18, a contract worker from Hollis, Oklahoma, died at a remote drill site accessible only by helicopter, according to Hecla Greens Creek Mine and authorities. Mine officials said workers receive training on how to deal with bears because of the large number in the area. Alaska State Troopers said Montoya was mauled by the three bears, all of which were killed before they arrived. It was not immediately clear who killed them. Montoya worked for Idaho-based Timberline Drilling, which provides core drilling services at Greens Creek, the mine said in a release. His body was being taken to the state medical examiner’s office for an autopsy. The silver mine is on Admiralty Island, which is about 18 miles (29 kilometers) southwest of Juneau and where an estimated 1,500 brown bears roam, said Stephen Bethune, a biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Tours to the island that’s largely uninhabited by people tout bear-viewing possibilities. The island also has the world’s highest density of nesting bald eagles, according to the department. Its only permanent community is Angoon, which is accessible by plane or ferry. However, run-ins with bears on Admiralty Island are fairly unusual, Bethune said, noting there was a nonfatal attack within the past three years. Mike Satre, manager of government and community relations with the mine, said employees and contractors receive training on bears. Workers are taught, for example, ways to prevent bear encounters, including proper disposal of food. Bear spray is available to carry between buildings and trained personnel use bean bags to scare away bears from established areas. The mine also has videos on bear behavior. In remote locations, bear spray is among the tools employees generally bring with them in the case of bear encounters, Satre said.

Props Borough Elections: Before you go would change hospital service area Today borough residents have the opportunity to elect new leadership in the Kenai Peninsula Borough Regular Municipal Election.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. For the central peninsula, the ballot will hold elections for Borough Assembly, Board of Education, Kenai City Council, Soldotna City Council, service area board candidates and borough ballot propositions. Borough Assembly Candidates

By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News

Two propositions on the Oct. 2 Kenai Peninsula Borough ballot will be considered separately by voters in the Central Peninsula Hospital Service Area and the South Kenai Peninsula Hospital Service Area. Though distinct propositions, the questions literally meet in the middle, and depending on the results, can affect residents in both areas. Proposition 2 asks voters in the central peninsula and those in a proposed expanded area if they want to extend the CPH Service Area boundary moved about 15 miles south to Barbara Drive in Ninilchik. A “yes” vote accepts the change and a “no” vote keeps the service areas as they are. Proposition 3 asks voters in the south peninsula and those in a proposed expanded area across Kachemak Bay if they want to extend the SPH Service Area boundary to include the land south of Kachemak Bay, but excluding the city of Seldovia. A “yes” vote accepts the change and a “no” vote keeps the service areas as they are. Four results could happen: both propositions pass, both fail, Prop 2 only passes or Prop 3 only passes. If both propositions pass, most residents will see a drop in property taxes. The central peninsula service area would become larger by moving south, and so would the service area for South Peninsula Hospital. See PROP, page A3

Kenai, Soldotna boost cybersecurity By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The cities of Soldotna and Kenai have boosted security on their entity’s digital infrastructure after a detrimental attack affected the Matanuska-Susitna Borough network earlier this summer. The Mat-Su Borough is still reeling from the damage of a malware attack discovered July 31. The borough’s entire network, 150 servers, 500 workstations, and computers had to be rebuilt and restored. Borough services are slowly coming back online, with the most essential services being restored at the end of September, and into the first week of October, according to a Sept. 30 update from the Mat-Su Borough. To prevent such an attack on

city networks, both Soldotna and Kenai are including more training for their employees. In the wake of the Mat-Su malware attack, Kenai is now requiring their employees to take part in additional training that includes fake phishing emails and other scenarios for employees to be aware of, city manager Paul Ostrander said. “You’re never 100 percent secure,” Ostrander said. “You prepare as well as you can. Training our employees is part of that.” In Soldotna, city manager Stephanie Queen said the city does several things to protect IT infrastructure against cyber attacks, including an employee training. “Phishing emails are particularly common, and hackSee CYBER, page A3

State wants lawsuit Sarah Palin’s son, Track, accused of hitting woman challenging bonding proposal dismissed

By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s oldest son, Track, hit a woman in the head after telling her that she couldn’t leave his house and resisted as authorities arrested him, court documents said. Track Palin, 29, is in jail facing misdemeanor charges including assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct less than a year after being accused of attacking his father at his parents’ home. A female acquaintance said Palin blocked the doorway when she tried to leave his house in the city of Wasilla on Friday night, according to an affidavit written by Alaska State Trooper Jason Somerville. She told authorities that he took her phone when she said she would call the police if she didn’t let her leave. She said she made it to her car in the driveway but that Pal-

JUNEAU — A judge said Monday he wants both sides to submit additional briefs before deciding whether to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Gov. Bill Walker’s plan to pay Alaska’s oil and gas tax credit obligations. The state wants the case brought by Juneau resident Eric Forrer to be dismissed. Superior Court Judge Jude Pate said a decision probably would not be made until early November. The Legislature earlier this year passed a bill, proposed by Walker, to establish a new state corporation that would be empowered to sell up to $1 billion in bonds to pay off the state’s remaining tax credit obligations. Lawmakers had previously voted to end the tax credit program,

which had been geared toward small producers and developers, because they said it had become unaffordable. How much to put toward paying down the obligation had, in recent years, become a political fight. The state constitution limits the power to incur state debt. But Attorney General Jahna Lindemuth has said that her office is confident the proposed bonds would be lawful. She said the proposed bonds would not be considered state debt subject to the constitutional restraints. The proposed bonds would be “subject-to-appropriation” bonds, she wrote, meaning that payment of the bonds would be contingent upon whether the legislature sets aside money for them each year. The state has pointed to See BOND, page A2

an Alaska Supreme Court ruling involving a lease-purchase agreement. In that decision, the state says the court concluded the agreement did not constitute impermissible constitutional debt because the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligation was subject to appropriation. Arguments before Pate on Monday focused in part on procedural matters. But Pate also questioned Forrerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Joe Geldhof, over legal arguments, particularly surrounding that court decision. Geldhof said the two cases -this one and the one involving the lease-purchase agreement -are different. The constitutional provisions on debt are narrow in scope, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this court wants to sanction that kind of creative financing, to transfer public wealth to private hands, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all get out the black magic markers and start redacting big hunks of our constitution,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re headed.â&#x20AC;?

After Florence, communities work to keep mosquitoes at bay WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Communities inundated by flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence are bracing for an onslaught of mosquitoes. The StarNews of Wilmington reports that the state of North Carolina has identified 27 counties that will split $4 million in emergency mosquito-control funding. The counties include New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick, which were among areas hit by heavy rains after Florence smashed ashore Sept. 14 and nearly stalled for days over parts of the Carolinas. Stagnant floodwaters provide breeding grounds for the pests.

. . . Prop Continued from page A1

Only certain taxpayers in the expanded area of the South Kenai Peninsula Hospital Service Area would see a tax increase to pay for South Peninsula Hospital service they already receive. Residents on the south side of Kachemak Bay and east of Neptune Bay already are in the south peninsula service area. Like a Venn diagram â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those intersecting circles that show how some sets of properties can be common â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one group of residents will vote on both propositions. Residents who are between Barbara Drive and the current northern boundary of the South Kenai Peninsula Hospital Service Area at the Clam Gulch Tower will vote on the question of if they want to join the central peninsula service area. But because they are currently the south peninsula service area, they will also vote on if they want to expand the southern service area across Kachemak Bay. If Proposition 2 passes, the taxpayers in the expanded area of the central peninsula will see the mill rate drop from 2.3 milles to 1.18 mills, or from $230 per $100,000 to $118 per $100,000. Other residents in the central peninsula service area pay a mill rate of 0.01 mills or $1 per $100,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; essentially an administrative fee. If Proposition 3 passes, taxpayers in the expanded area â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, residents of Port Graham, Nanwalek, outside of Seldovia and other areas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would pay another 1.13 mills or $113 per $100,000 of property assessment. According to hospital records, Residents of Seldovia, Nanwalek and Port Graham made about 2,800 visits to South Peninsula Hospital from 2015-17. Because Seldovia City residents use the same zip code as outside the city, the statistics canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the distinction between

city and non-city residents. If Propositions 2 and 3 pass, the net effect for current south peninsula service area taxpayers would drop slightly from 2.364 mills, or $236 per $100,000, to 2.299 mills, or $229 per $100,000, or a $7 savings. The boundary change question came about after persistent attempts by central peninsula assembly members to address what they see as an unfairness. Some Ninilchik residents tend to go north to Central Peninsula Hospital though they pay service area taxes in the South Kenai Peninsula Service Area. According to the ballot language, a Homer hospital was built in 1955. The south peninsula hospital service area was created in 1969, with the north boundary put at about Mile 119.25 Sterling Highway. A Soldotna hospital opened in 1971. According to the Proposition 2 ballot language, from January 2013 to May 2017, about 78 percent of the ambulance runs for Ninilchik Emergency Services were to Central Peninsula Hospital. Earlier proposals did not include the expansion of the southern hospital service area, and would have decreased property tax revenues to the South Kenai Peninsula Hospital Service Area and potentially affected South Peninsula Hospital services provided to a clinic in Ninilchik. Proposition 2 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include downtown Ninilchik and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect SPH services at the clinic. A revised ordinance introduced by borough assembly member Dale Bagley crafted the compromise: expand the central peninsula service area to Barbara Drive and also expand the south peninsula service area across Kachemak Bay. There has been no public opposition to the propositions, with no one writing against it in the official borough election packet or to the Homer News.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, Oct. 2, the 275th day of 2018. There are 90 days left in the year. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highlight in History: On Oct. 2, 1944, German troops crushed the two-month-old Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people had been killed. On this date: In 1780, British spy John Andre was hanged in Tappan, New York, during the Revolutionary War. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a serious stroke at the White House that left him paralyzed on his left side. In 1941, during World War II, German armies launched an all-out drive against Moscow; Soviet forces succeeded in holding onto their capital. In 1950, the comic strip â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peanuts,â&#x20AC;? created by Charles M. Schulz, was syndicated to seven newspapers. In 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court as the court opened its new term. In 1970, one of two chartered twin-engine planes flying the Wichita State University football team to Utah crashed into a mountain near Silver Plume, Colorado, killing 31 of the 40 people on board. In 1971, the music program â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soul Trainâ&#x20AC;? made its debut in national syndication. In 1984, Richard W. Miller became the first FBI agent to be arrested and charged with espionage. (Miller was tried three times; he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but was released after nine years.) In 1985, actor Rock Hudson, 59, died at his home in Beverly Hills, California, after battling AIDS. In 1986, the Senate joined the House in voting to override President Reaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veto of stiff economic sanctions against South Africa. In 2002, the Washington, D.C.-area sniper attacks began, setting off a frantic manhunt lasting three weeks. (John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were finally arrested for killing 10 people and wounding three others; Muhammad was executed in 2009; Malvo was sentenced to life in prison.) In 2006, an armed milk truck driver took a group of girls hostage in an Amish schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., killing five of them and wounding five others before committing suicide. Ten years ago: Republican Sarah Palin and Democrat Joe Biden sparred over taxes, energy policy and the Iraq war in a high-profile vicepresidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis, in which Palin sought to reclaim her identity as a spirited reformer and Biden tried to undercut the maverick image of GOP presidential hopeful John McCain. More than a year after millionaire adventure Steve Fossett vanished on a solo flight over Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugged Sierra Nevada, searchers found the wreckage of his plane but no body inside. (Fossettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remains were discovered in late Oct. 2008.) Five years ago: President Barack Obama met privately with congressional leaders at the White House for the first time since a partial government shutdown began, but there was no sign of progress toward ending the impasse. Overloaded websites and jammed phone lines frustrated consumers for a second day as they tried to sign up for coverage using new health insurance exchanges. A jury in Los Angeles cleared a concert promoter of negligence, rejecting a lawsuit brought by Michael Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother claiming AEG Live had been negligent in hiring Conrad Murray, the doctor who killed the pop star with an overdose of a hospital anesthetic. One year ago: Hours after the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, President Donald Trump condemned the Las Vegas shooting that left 58 dead as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;act of pure evil.â&#x20AC;? Rock superstar Tom Petty died at a Los Angeles hospital at the age of 66, a day after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Malibu, California. The trial of Ahmed Abu Khattala, described as the mastermind of the 2012 attacks on a U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead, got under way in Washington. (Khattala would be convicted of terrorism-related charges and sentenced to 22 years in prison.) Three Americans were awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine for discovering key genetic â&#x20AC;&#x153;gearsâ&#x20AC;? of the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24-hour biological clock. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Birthdays: Country singer-musician Leon Rausch (Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys) is 91. Retired MLB All-Star Maury Wills is 86. Movie critic Rex Reed is 80.

What Others Say

On plastic bags

is cheap — maybe too cheap. This is one thing where we’ll say, feel free to raise the price. We doubt many customers will complain. It is now established practice at stores such as Aldi, for example, to either charge for bags or not give them out at all. Reusable shopping bags have become normal. Why must a business give a product away for free when there is significant public pressure not to? That pressure is clear and present. Many nations have already banned plastic bags, including the United Kingdom, Kenya, China, Chile and Australia. San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle have, too, and California and Boston’s bans starts in the next few months. Nearby Warren County is holding hearings on a bag ban of its own. The Saranac Lake Village Board of Trustees recently heard from elementary schoolers urging it to ban plastic bags here. But government doesn’t need to get involved if businesses will commit to solving the problem on their own. Charging for bags or not providing them could be a free-market solution to a societal problem. We prefer it this way; government bans can be tricky to enforce and result in more pushback and less consensus. Maybe a few plastic or paper bags have their place, but that place needs to be drastically shrunk from the omnipresence they have now. But if businesses won’t fix it — and they have resisted doing so for many years — government will have to intervene. The fact that Hannaford plans to give part of that 5-cent charge to local charities sweetens the deal. Not only is the supermarket taking a positive step toward limiting its environmental footprint, but it’s taking the opportunity to give back to the community. We challenge other grocers, convenience stores, drug stores, dollar stores and others do the same. Meanwhile, we urge our readers to politely decline plastic or paper bags when stores offer them, if you can. Bring or buy reusable shopping containers, and if you must use short-term plastic or paper bags, reuse them as many times as you can. The fewer, the better.

what will the FBI be investigating and how will it be prevented from “going rogue,” as Special Counsel Robert Mueller has done, unilaterally adding to his original commission to investigate “collusion” between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia? One doesn’t have to be Nostradamus to make a prediction. If, in fact, the FBI interviews are limited to those witnesses already named by Ford and their denials are repeated to FBI agents, it is highly doubtful that will be enough for Democrats to vote to confirm Kavanaugh. They will have other excuses. Will it be enough for the “moderate” Republicans, who frequently bow to the wishes of Democrats but receive no reciprocity, to vote for Kavanaugh? Possibly, but that’s not guaranteed. There will be other ploys by some Democrats and liberal activist groups whose goal is to keep another constitutional conservative off the court. Sexual harassment charges are just a means to that end and to them the ends appear to justify any means, including bearing false witness against a good man. Who benefits politically from this fiasco? Rush Limbaugh initially said that if Kavanaugh is not confirmed, Republicans will pay by losing their congressional majority. A day later he said he now believes it will benefit Republicans if they take their anger over Kavanaugh’s treatment to the polls and oust Democrats for their outrageous behavior. We’ll know which scenario is correct in about 30 days. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com.

the health treatment that she needs.” Is she implying that her word cannot be trusted? This is not a Monica Lewinsky case where there was forensic evidence from a blue Cal Thomas dress stained with Bill Clinton’s DNA. This is about attempting to prove behavior, which Ford believes occurred (“100 percent”) and Kavanaugh denies (“100 percent”). There are as yet no corroborating witnesses. Here are some other things the FBI might look into. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) was confronted in an elevator by a woman named Ana Maria Archila. She claimed to have been sexually abused as a child but never told her parents. A CNN camera just happened to broadcast the moment live. Archila is the executive director for the Center for Popular Democracy, a liberal nonprofit advocacy group, which has received funding from the Open Society Foundations, underwritten by liberal activist George Soros, and the Democracy Alliance in which Soros is a member. Could Soros be behind this smear of Kavanaugh? What was Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (DTexas) doing at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing? A video shows her surreptitiously handing Ford’s attorney a note or what could have been an envelope, which he quickly put into the pocket of his suit jacket. What was it? The FBI should ask. Since no charges have been filed by Ford with any local authority, precisely

“America First” policy, saying his administration has achieved more “than almost any administration in the history of our country,” which sparked chuckles and outright laughter from some leaders. “We will never surrender America’s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable, global bureaucracy,” the U.S. president said. “America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism.” One of the very few countries to speak out for nationalism was Hungary, which has erected razor wire fences to keep people out. Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto called migration the greatest challenge in history, saying “migratory waves” are creating huge security risks, destabilizing countries, and bringing terrorism to a region where it did not exist before. “The international community must respect sovereignty of the countries,” he said. But speaker after speaker over the week stressed the importance of global cooperation, starting with French President Emmanuel Macron, a progressive, multilateralist, who told the General Assembly: “Nationalism always leads to defeat.” Canada’s U.N. Ambassador Marc-Andre Blanchard told Monday’s final session that “the magnitude of the contemporary challenges the world is confronting” -- including climate change, terrorism, economic inequality,

‘The international community must respect sovereignty of the countries.’ — Hungary Foreign Minister Peter Szijarto irregular migration and protracted crises -- “require the world to work together.” “The U.N. is the only place where we all come together to tackle these challenges,” he said, but the U.N. and other institutions established after World War II must work together to make them “more efficient, fairer and more inclusive.” Trump faced pushback on other U.S. policies he trumpeted, including his historic meeting in June with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his “push for peace.” At the same time, he insisted that tough sanctions would remain until the Korean peninsula is denuclearized. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov countered that the U.S. should consider matching Kim’s positive steps -- including halting nuclear and missile tests and actions to dismantle related facilities -with an easing of sanctions. Trump also faced pushback on Iran, which he called a “brutal regime” and a “corrupt dictatorship” whose leaders “sow chaos, death and destruction.” He denounced the “horrible” 2015 nuclear deal with Iran

which the Obama administration signed along with Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, saying that’s why the U.S. withdrew and re-imposed sanctions on Tehran. But in a rebuke to Trump, foreign ministers from the five countries that still support the deal agreed at one of some 400 meetings on the sidelines of the General Assembly to establish a financial facility in the European Union to facilitate payments for Iranian imports and exports including oil -- a key move sought by Tehran to counter U.S. sanctions. Another major issue at the global gathering was climate change -- an issue not mentioned in Trump’s speech. It was raised not only by small islands that see an existential threat, but also by large countries with vulnerable coasts facing more deadly hurricanes and cyclones. Dominica’s Foreign Minister Francine Baron, whose Caribbean island nation was decimated by Hurricane Maria’s 180 mileper-hour winds last September, said her prime minister’s call to all countries days later at the U.N. “to come together to save our planet” hasn’t been heeded.

Mahomes, Chiefs CIA takes 4th at Borealis tourney elude Broncos Staff report Peninsula Clarion

DENVER (AP) — Patrick Mahomes is athletic, agile — and ambidextrous, apparently. Thanks in part to a nifty left-handed throw as he was about to get sacked by Von Miller at midfield on the game-winning drive, the right-handed Mahomes rallied the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs past the Denver Broncos 27-23 on Monday night. By overcoming a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit, the Chiefs (4-0) took a two-game lead over the Broncos (2-2), their AFC West rivals whom they’ve now beaten six straight times. The only other remaining

unbeaten team is the Los Angeles Rams. Down 23-13, Mahomes directed a 12-play, 75-yard drive that ate up more than six minutes and culminated with a 2-yard TD toss to tight end Travis Kelce. After a three-and-out by Denver, Mahomes added a 60-yard touchdown drive, handing off to Kareem Hunt for the 4-yard score with 1:39 remaining. On that last drive, Mahomes was getting dragged down by Miller on thirdand-5 at midfield when he shifted the ball to his left hand and threw it to Tyreek Hill a yard past the firstdown marker at the Broncos 49.

Mike Hollingsworth was closest to the pin at the sixth and Gary Dawkins was closest at the eighth. The longest putt was put in by Darell Jelsma. On Sept. 25, six ladies played on a beautiful fall day. They played a three-lady scramble and the winners were Rita Geller, Leona Jackson and Sally Hoagland. The Bingo, Bango, Bongo game was won by Chiya Bazan. For Men’s Night (Big Wednesday), 13 golfers came out to play a blind-draw scramble and the play resulted in a tie. The team of Max Conradi, Steve Hammarstrom and Darell Jelsma tied with Steve Griglione, John Davis and Kevin Downs. In a chip-off with head lights from trucks (Bagger Vance style), the team of Max, Steve and Darell came out the winner. Kevin Downs won long drive for the second week in a row. Bill Engberg got the greenie at the sixth and Tom Hodel got it on at the eighth. Pure birdies were recorded by Jarod Ramm on No. 4 and Kevin Downs on No. 7.

The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team took fourth place at the Borealis Conference tournament, the de facto state tournament for fall soccer, over the weekend in Anchorage, losing the third-place game to Wasilla Lake 3-2 on Saturday at Begich Middle School. After the top-seeded Eagles (17-3 overall) were upset by No. 3 seed Delta Junction 3-1 on Friday, CIA defeated TriValley 3-2 on penalties early Saturday before seeing Wasilla Lake score three goals in the last 21 minutes of the game to overcome a 2-0 deficit. Adara Warren gave CIA a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute, then just four minutes into the second half Hunter Moos finished a cross from Linnaea

Dohse for a 2-0 lead, but CIA could not make it hold up. In Saturday’s first game, CIA survived a close game against Tri-Valley. The game was tied at 2 after regulation and overtime, then CIA won 3-2 on penalty kicks. In penalty kicks, both teams missed on the first two rounds. Sophie Nelson then stepped up for CIA and buried her attempt, but the Viking Warriors answered right back. Jiabao Leaf scored for CIA, but again TriValley answered back. James Anderson then scored for CIA, and goalie Lucas Cragg was able to make a diving save to win the game. Tri-Valley had lost to CIA four times this season coming into the game, but the Viking Warriors also knew they defeated CIA on penalties in the Borealis Conference finals a

year ago. Tri-Valley came out and scored in the 12th minute. CIA had possession and opportunities, and finally in the 47th minute the Eagles equalized when Moos sent a corner kick in that Sophie Nelson finished. Just a few minutes later, Moos scored for the lead, but in the final minute Tri-Valley scored to send the game to penalties. Friday, CIA coach Kenny Leaf said Delta scored in the 28th minute and then withdrew to a tight, defensive posture. “In the second half, we did everything we could to put something in the goal and it just wasn’t happening,” Leaf said. “We had our chances — left, right, over the crossbar, off the post — but we couldn’t equalize.” Leaf said goalie Lucas Cragg did a good job keeping

it to a one-goal game. He also said central defenders Jiabao Leaf and Isaac Johnson were effective in joining the attack. “This was as hard as the kids have worked all season,” coach Leaf said. “They did everything but score goals. “In the end, I told the kids this is just God teaching us something through defeat, where the most important lessons come sometimes.” All-conference selections for the Eagles included Leaf, Dohse and Sophie Nelson, with Moos and Addie Nelson taking MVP honors. All-tournament selections for CIA were Leaf, Anderson and Addie Nelson, while tournament MVPs were Moos and Sophie Nelson. Cook Inlet also received the sportsmanship award, while Kenny Leaf was coach of the year.

Brewers, Dodgers wear crowns By The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Christian Yelich’s easy smile and champagne-soaked T-shirt said it all. A division title is much more fun than a Triple Crown. Yelich collected three more hits as the Milwaukee Brewers won their first NL Central title since 2011, beating the Chicago Cubs 3-1 on Monday in a tiebreaker game. The silky-smooth slugger stalled in his bid for the league’s first Triple Crown in decades, but he starred once again as the Brew Crew captured the biggest prize of the day. “I know how hard it is to get to this point and I’m proud to be a part of this group,” Yelich said as Milwaukee’s boozy party swirled around him, filling every inch of the cramped visitors’ clubhouse at Wrigley Field. Lorenzo Cain hit a go-ahead single in the eighth inning to help Milwaukee to its eighth straight win and home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs. The Brewers will host the wild-card winner starting Thursday in the best-of-five Division Series. Chicago stays at Wrigley for Tuesday night’s wild-card game against Colorado. The Rockies lost 5-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Monday’s second tiebreaker for the NL West title.

“It’s no fun. Of course we’d prefer the other route,” manager Joe Maddon said. It’s a quick turnaround after falling short in their bid for a third straight division title, but the Cubs will have ace lefthander Jon Lester on the mound for the elimination game. “We’ll be ready. This team has responded all year,” said Anthony Rizzo, who homered for Chicago’s run. Yelich singled home Milwaukee’s first run and won the NL batting title with a .326 average. He had 110 RBIs, one behind the Cubs’ Javier Baez, and finished with 36 home runs, two shy of Colorado’s Nolan Arenado. The tiebreakers were game 163 of the regular season and Arenado’s homer counted in the totals. Joe Medwick in 1937 was the last NL player to win the Triple Crown. Miguel Cabrera did it for Detroit in 2012. Milwaukee trailed Chicago by as many as five games in September, but manager Craig Counsell’s club pushed the season to an extra day with a furious finish and then used its deep lineup and bullpen to outlast the playoff-tested Cubs. “It just shows the heart and the mentality that this team has,” Cain said. “Never give up. Continue to fight each and every day in each and every atbat. We’re going to continue to

do that in the playoffs.” Orlando Arcia, batting in the eighth slot, had a careerhigh four hits, and Josh Hader closed out another dominant relief performance for the Brewers. DODGERS 5, ROCKIES 2 LOS ANGELES — What a day for Walker Buehler. The rookie with the preternatural calm pitched the Los Angeles Dodgers to a record sixth consecutive NL West title. Buehler tossed one-hit ball into the seventh inning, and Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy launched two-run homers to beat the Colorado Rockies 5-2 in a tiebreaker on Monday. “It’s a normal baseball game. It’s hyped up, there’s an adrenaline, but you got to execute,” Buehler said. “That’s all you can do.” The defending NL champion Dodgers became the first major league team to win six straight division crowns since the Yankees captured nine AL East titles in a row from 19982006. “It doesn’t get old,” confirmed ace Clayton Kershaw. Los Angeles now hosts Atlanta in the best-of-five NL Division Series beginning Thursday. “We’re going to beat Atlanta,” a shirtless Yasiel Puig pro-

claimed, rivulets of beer and champagne down his front and back. “No matter who’s coming, we’re going to the World Series and bring the 2018 championship here.” Denied their first division title in franchise history, the Rockies head to Wrigley Field to play the Chicago Cubs in the NL wildcard game on Tuesday night. “Our guys will put it in the rearview for sure,” Rockies manager Bud Black said of the loss. “The resiliency of this group has been awesome all year.” Pitching in 90-degree heat, Buehler was oh-so-cool in closing out a regular season that ended with Game 163 after both teams had identical records of 91-71. The soft-spoken 24-yearold from Lexington, Kentucky, has been so steady of late that manager Dave Roberts had no qualms about giving Buehler the ball for the crucial game that helped decide the Dodgers’ postseason fate. “He’s ready for this moment,” Roberts said, “and he responded.” Buehler’s only slip-up came on the field after the game when he let loose with an inadvertent expletive, having been handed the mic after fans demanded to hear from him. He clasped his hand to his mouth and apologized.

Guilty dad spends extra time with once-estranged daughter Anger, resentment and bigotry serve no one well. Your father recognizes the mistake he made by shunning his daughter and her family, and he’s trying to make up for it. As I write this, I’m reminded of a line from the “Peace Prayer of St. Francis”: “Where there is hatred, let me sow love.” Good for your father! The Abigail Van Buren way for you to move on would be to recognize it’s time to forgive him for the damage he caused your family because, if you don’t, you and your siblings will perpetuate it.

DEAR ABBY: I have worked for my husband, -- UPSET IN THE EAST “Ben,” in a small firm for 20 years, but members of DEAR UPSET: I wish you had mentioned what my family still think I don’t have a “real” job. I did it caused your father’s change of heart because it so I’d have flexibility in taking care of our children, would have been a valuable lesson for a lot of read- participating in PTA and other school activities, and be ers. He did a disservice to ALL of you by teaching involved in the community. This benefits us not only as hate rather than love and acceptance. Now you a family but also Ben’s business. I work a 40-plus-hour week, just not necessarily 9 have decades of lost time to make up for. to 5. So why does my family think they can call me

at work, especially on my cell, for non-work-related issues? They wouldn’t call their friends or children at work, so why, despite my asking them REPEATEDLY not to, do they still call, or worse, drop in? How can I make them stop bothering me?

-- AT WORK DEAR AT WORK: Because you have asked your relatives not to call between certain hours, screen your calls before answering your phone. When they ask why you didn’t pick up, repeat the message that you were working and please not to call you at that time. If they drop in, quit being so available. Repeat that they have come at a time that’s inconvenient, and give them a time when you can socialize.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2018: This year you will grow and see life differently. Your goals, interests and relationships will change or adapt. If you are single, the person you choose now might not be the same person you choose in a year. Think of yourself as going shopping and seeing who fits you best. If you are attached, you and your partner become inordinately content with each other. Many people look at you as a couple and think that you act like newlyweds. CANCER is quite emotional but has feelings that are similar to yours. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Pressure builds. Your understanding and bright solutions will help improve whatever project you take on. As always, your instincts come out to direct you when chaos or confusion erupts. You could find that a different approach might be better for everyone involved. Tonight: Head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You tend to express yourself deliberately and with thought. You love brainstorming sessions and get-togethers with your peers. Often, if you share more, you inspire others, and vice versa. Once an issue is resolved, you will want to celebrate. Tonight: Out and about. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Be aware of the cost of continuing as you have. You have gone overboard in several different ways as of late. Before you have to pay the piper, attempt to rein yourself in. Your imagination might cause you

Rubes

a problem in being realistic. Tonight: Pay bills, then decide. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Reach out to a loved one. Ask yourself if you have a more effective way of helping pull this person out of the doldrums. Know that a partner could be unusually controlling. If you do not want to deal with this, do not react. Tonight: Share your thoughts with those around you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Read between the lines with others. You also might need to take a break from your present pace. Communication proves to be exciting and allows greater give-and-take between you and others. A change of pace in the near future seems appropriate. Tonight: Ask a friend for some feedback. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A meeting could be provocative and changeable. Once you get past your initial reaction, you could be surprised by what is happening around you. Know that others are well-intended. You might be confused by a partner’s or loved one’s reaction. Tonight: Remain optimistic. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Take charge and do not feel intimidated by a higher-up. Communication flourishes and inspires you with a work-related matter. Pull away from someone who indicates a myway-or-the-highway situation. Refuse to be intimidated. Tonight: Take the word “no” out of your vocabulary. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Reach out to a loved one or an expert at a distance. Until you speak to a particular person, you could feel as though you have no choice. Use caution with the words

Many ideas and thoughts could float between you. If you are bored by life, you might change those feelings within the next few days. Go with the flow. An associate becomes somewhat rebellious. Tonight: Be direct with a loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be aware of how a personal situation could change if given half a chance. You tend to make demands on others. You also put some hard terms on them. If someone walks away as a result, do not be surprised. Being firm does not work with everyone. Tonight: Listen to a request. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Listen to news carefully. You have a lot of ground to cover; if you stay focused, you will be able to do just that. Use care with your finances. You might not be getting all the facts right now, so wait until you are sure that you have them. Tonight: Try a healthy dinner for two. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might want to be more creative and dynamic than you have been in the recent past. Others often feel inspired by you, but they are not sure that they can get behind one of your ideas. Make sure you let them know that the idea is workable. Tonight: Let go and enjoy!

The drive to find a missing address Dear Heloise: I was a guest in the home of my niece’s parents-in-law, and I wanted to send a thank-you note, but didn’t recall their ADDRESS. Then it dawned on me that I had used my GPS to drive to their home, so the address would still be in its memory. Problem solved! -- Bill V., Harrisonburg, Va. DRUG ADS Dear Heloise: I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets tired of the drug ads shown on TV. Advertisers spend the first part of the ad telling you what the drug can do, and the last part talking about all the possible side effects, some of which could be fatal! -- Steve W., Hebron, Ind. The drug companies advertise so they can provide information to patients. Readers, you can check online for more information about a particular drug, or communicate any concerns to your doctor. -- Heloise CAMERA-READY Dear Heloise: I wipe my backup camera lens on my car with a microfiber cloth regularly. It keeps things clear. Dust, road grime and mud can build up. -- Helen T. in San Antonio HINT FROM HIM Dear Heloise: I use correction fluid to put a tiny dot on my TV remote to indicate the “last” button for the previous channel. -- David in California David, office correction fluid is more or less latex paint, and it comes in different shades, so its uses are many!

DEAR ABBY: My older sister, “Lily,” is in a biracial marriage and has a son. Our dad never approved. He gave her an ultimatum when she first met “Rodney”: Choose between him or our family. She chose Rodney. After 30 years of Dad not speaking to her and influencing us siblings to feel the same way, our mother died and Dad rekindled his relationship with Lily. He’s 82 now, and he puts her and her family first. He spends a lot of money on them and spends a lot of time with her and her son. The rest of us feel so much resentment. I realize he’s making up for lost time and feels guilty. But it’s sickening when we remember how he pushed us to feel the way he did back then and now expects us to do an emotional 180. We are OK with being with our sister and her family. It’s Dad we’re having the problem with. How do we move on?

Pets California divorce courts go to dogs as pets gain status By JOHN ROGERS Associated Press

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; California courts could be going to the dogs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and maybe cats, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; under a new law granting judges authority to settle disagreements over who keeps the family pet in divorce cases the same way they handle childcustody disputes. Until now, Fido and Kitty have been considered family

property, a status giving them little more standing in a divorce than a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big-screen TV. Under a bill signed Thursday by Gov. Jerry Brown, pets will still be considered community property but a judge deciding who gets to keep them will have the discretion of weighing such factors as who feeds them, who takes them to the vet and on walks, and who protects them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea. I personally have a little rescue

bichon poodle named Rodney King Stone. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a family member,â&#x20AC;? said family law attorney Megan Green of Los Angeles, who has seen her share of divorce cases where couples battled relentlessly over the pet. In one case, a woman said the dog was a gift from her husband, but the husband maintained he was the one who took care of it. They finally worked out an agreement just ahead of trial.

Without the law that goes into effect on Jan. 1, attorneys say judges have often had to get creative in reaching agreements when both sides say they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bear to part with their pet. Some judges have put the dog between the would-be owners and tried to determine who it liked the best. If a family had two pets, a judge would sometimes suggest splitting them up.
