In the news Under right terms, Kavanaugh accuser may testify after all WASHINGTON (AP) — Christine Blasey Ford may testify against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after all, her attorney said Thursday, breathing new life into the prospect of a dramatic Senate showdown next week over Ford’s accusation that he assaulted her when both were in high school.

The preference would be for Ford to testify next Thursday, and she doesn’t want Kavanaugh in the same room, her attorney told Judiciary Committee staff in a 30-minute call that also touched on security concerns and others issues, according to a Senate aide who wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Ford is willing to tell her story to the Judiciary Committee, whose senators will vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation — but only if agreement can be reached on “terms that are fair and which ensure her safety,” the attorney said in an email earlier Thursday. In the call, she said Ford needs time to secure her family, prepare her testimony and travel to Washington. No decisions were reached, the aide said.

The discussion revived the possibility that the panel would hold an electrifying campaign-season hearing at which both Ford and President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee could give their versions of what did or didn’t happen at a party in the 1980s. Kavanaugh, now a judge on the powerful U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, has repeatedly denied her allegation.

The accusation has jarred the 53-year-old conservative jurist’s prospects for winning confirmation, which until Ford’s emergence last week had seemed all but certain. It has also bloomed into a broader clash over whether women alleging abuse are taken seriously by men and how both political parties address such claims with the advent of the #MeToo movement — a theme that could echo in this November’s elections for control of Congress.

At Wednesday’s Kenai City Council meeting, the council voted unanimously to approve the construction and presence of a dog park at Daubenspeck Family Park in Kenai.

The effort to create a dog park in Kenai was spearheaded by a volunteer committee led by Jodi Stuart, who spoke in support of the resolution at Wednesday’s meeting “We’ve taken a look numerous times at Daubenspeck Park and looked at numerous other locations,” Stuart said. “We would very much be in support of Daubenspeck, as a dog owner and as someone that visits See DOG, page A8

Navarre to campaign for Walker Commerce boss takes leave of absence to work on governor’s re-election bid

By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

Mike Navarre, head of the state department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development, has temporarily left his job in order to campaign for incumbent Gov. Bill Walker.

In an email to department employees this week, Navarre wrote, “I intend to focus a significant amount of my personal time and energy in the coming weeks on the upcoming election. As such, I have decided to take a leave of absence until early November so I can focus on advocating for the candidates and issues that are of

great concern to me.”

“I think it’s fairly unusual for commissioners to do this,” Navarre said by phone on Thursday morning, but he felt it was important to do.

“It’s one of those things where I really wanted to help the governor with the campaign, and it’s one of those decisions where I can do it in my spare time, but I want to do more,” he said.

State law prohibits government employees from spending state time or resources on partisan political campaigns.

Navarre’s leave of absence started Wednesday and is effective through Election Day,

Nov. 5.

In the meantime, deputy commissioner Fred Parady will be the department’s lead official, the letter states. In a public notice dated Wednesday, Navarre named interim replacements to the many boards and commissions that count the commissioner among their members.

“It meant my calendar just blew up,” Parady said by phone.

While he might now be busy, “in terms of the department, it’s steady as she goes,” Parady said.

This is the third time in four Mike Navarre, commissioner of the Alaska Department of years that Parady has served as Commerce, is seen in a November 2017 portrait from the State See LEAVE, page A8 of Alaska. (Courtesy photo)

Grand jury indicts Alaska Walker says man tied to girl’s death he opposes Kavanaugh nod

By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — An Alaska man physically took the cellphone away from a 10-year-old girl who was later found dead, and he lied to authorities when he said he found her phone on the ground, according to a federal grand jury indictment filed Thursday.

The indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Anchorage charges Peter Wilson of Kotzebue with making false statements as FBI and other law enforcement searched for Ashely Johnson-Barr. She went missing Sept. 6 in Kotzebue, 26 miles (42 kilometers) north of the

Arctic Circle, and she was found dead Sept. 14 in an area of tundra that could only be accessed by a four-wheeler or on foot.

No one else has been charged in connection with the girl’s death, which authorities say appears to be a homicide. The investigation continues.

The statement that Wilson, 41, took the phone directly from the girl was the only new information in the indictment from an FBI affidavit filed earlier in the week.

Authorities had said earlier Wilson also lied about knowing the girl, using a four-wheeler on the day she disappeared and that her phone screen lights up and her name appears on it when the

phone rings. These allegations are repeated in the indictment.

Wilson, who will be arraigned Friday, is represented by F. Richard Curtner with the Federal Public Defender’s Agency.

Curtner did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

Ashely Johnson-Barr had her cellphone with her when she was last seen playing with friends at Rainbow Park. Authorities say the phone was found later that day in the pocket of a jacket belonging to Wilson, a woman named in the affidavit only by the initials of JJ told authorities.

The woman said Wilson often stayed at her home.

See INDICT, page A8

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska Gov. Bill Walker opposes the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, and says a thorough review of allegations against him needs to take place before a confirmation vote.

Walker is concerned a lifetime appointment for Kavanaugh would threaten key protections for health care, labor and tribal self-determination, which he considers critical for Alaska.

Walker and Lt. Gov. Byron

Mallott said Thursday that violence against women is epidemic in Alaska.

They say they don’t “condone placing someone into one of nation’s highest positions of power while so many key questions remain unanswered.”

Walker spoke about Kavanaugh to U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, on Tuesday. His spokesman didn’t elaborate on what was said.

Murkowski, a moderate, hasn’t indicated how she might vote.

Puerto Rico marks 1 year since Maria SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Clapping and raising their hands to the sky, hundreds of people clad in white gathered at an 18th-century fort in the Puerto Rican capital on Thursday to remember the thousands who died in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria as the U.S. territory struggles to recover one year after the Category 4 storm hit.

Religious leaders and government officials recalled how Puerto Rico was ravaged by the storm that killed an estimated 2,975 people and caused more than an estimated $100 billion in damage.

Tens of thousands remain without adequate shelter or reliable electrical power, a sad fact that Gov. Ricardo Rossello noted on Thursday.

“After that catastrophic experience, we acknowledge how complex and difficult it is to prepare for a hurricane of that magnitude and fury,” Rosello said. “The best tribute we can give these people, these brothers that we’ve lost, is to build a better Puerto Rico for their sons, their grandsons and their families.”

While the U.S. government has invested billions of dollars to help clean up and repair the U.S. territory, much work remains. Major power outages are still being reported, tens of thousands of insurance claims are still pending and nearly 60,000 homes still have temporary roofs unable to withstand a Category 1 hurricane.

“I think it’s inexplicable,” Kumi Naidoo, Amnesty International’s secretary general, told The Associated Press during a visit to the island Thursday. “There’s no justifiable reason I can see for this gross level of negligence.”

Across the island, people marked the one-year anniversary with gatherings large and small, solemn and anger-tinged — and at times, even hopeful.

In the coastal fishing and farming village of Yabucoa, the strains of one of Puerto Rico’s most beloved songs filled the air at 6:15 a.m., the exact moment the storm made landfall

there one year ago.

Tarps still covered many homes that have yet to be rebuilt in the town of 37,000, even as the nostalgic strains of “Amanecer Borincano” — “Puerto Rican Dawn” — resonated at the spot where Maria first unleashed its fury.

“I am the light of the morning that illuminates new paths,”

a choir sang as dozens of local officials and residents gathered there. “I am the son of palm trees, of fields and rivers.”

In San Juan, the crowd of worshippers gathered at the 230-year-old San Cristobal fort sang and prayed along with pastors and musicians on stage, with music echoing through the fort’s heavy walls as the sun

slowly sank into the sea behind them.

Pastor Elder Gonzalez said he and other volunteers who flew to Puerto Rico after the hurricane to help were shocked at what he saw from up high.

“To see the island of enchantment was a deep and painful experience,” he said. “No one on the plane said a word.”

Obituary Robert Thomas Robertson Robert Thomas Robertson, age 70, passed away peacefully on Sept. 6, 2018 at his home in Cheney, WA with family by his side.

He is survived by his wife, Glynda of 47 years, daughter Xavia Skinner and her son Bodie of Ocean Shores, WA, daughter Jennifer Colton, her children, Ian Eide and Onnahlee Wilson, and her husband Jeff Colton all of Nikiski, AK, miece Elaine Acol and family of Kailua Kona, HI, multiple family members, life-long and new friends.

Robert lived in Alaska from 1961-2001.

He graduated from Kenai Central High in 1966 and upon graduation joined the U.S. Navy.

He served during the Vietnam War as an engineman on various ships from 1966 to 1970, at which time he was honorably discharged and in the reserves until 1972.

He returned to Nikiski (North Kenai) in 1970 and joined the North Kenai Fire Dept. as one of the first live-in volunteer firemen. During this time, he met Glynda Rogerson. They were married in 1971.

During the years, he worked as a longshoreman on the Nikiski docks, went to the University of Alaska Fairbanks, was a set net fisherman, worked at Unocal, the Kenai City Fire Dept. and was hired full time at Nikiski Fire Dept. in the early seventies, where he stayed and advanced to the rank of Battalion Chief before retiring with honors in Sept. 1995. He continued to serve as a volunteer until leaving Alaska in 2001.

Robert, your passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts and lives! You are missed immensely by your family and those who knew and worked with you! We love and miss you so much!

A “Celebration of life� will be announced and held later this year in Nikiski, AK.

David William McCubbins David William McCubbins, the son of Ray and Margaret (Durham) McCubbins, was born in Anchorage on Dec. 30, 1960.

The family moved to Kenai in 1975 where David attended public schools and graduated from Kenai Central High School in 1979.

RABBIT HASH, Ky. (AP) — The town of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, is known for a string of highly esteemed mayors, one of whom died this week. She was 12, and a dog.

The Enquirer reports Rabbit Hash’s first female mayor, Lucy Lou, died Sept. 10.

The colorful political figure was a fixture in the media, with appearances on everything from Japanese television to “CBS Sunday Morning.�

The collie was elected as the Ohio River town’s third canine mayor. She also served as spokesdog for a woman’s crisis center.

She served from 2008 to 2016, when she voluntarily stepped down to raise funds to rebuild the historic general store ravaged by fire.

Owner Bobbi Layne Kayser says Lucy Lou brought joy to more than just her family.

Patients react to new limits on Oregon medical marijuana PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — In August, a state analyst spotted dozens of suspicious transactions when he crunched cannabis sales data: a small number of medical marijuana cardholders bought unusually large quantities of marijuana flowers on consecutive days.

Oregon regulators suspected medical marijuana patients and caregivers were exploiting the system by buying cannabis to sell on the illicit market.

The response was swift. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission, under pressure from federal officials to tackle the robust black market for marijuana, quickly issued a temporary rule that dramatically reduced the amount that medical marijuana cardholders could buy in a day.

The limit dropped from a pound and a half of marijuana to 1 ounce -- the same quantity recreational cannabis consumers are allowed to buy. “What we saw was abuse, clear abuse of the standards,�

Steve Marks, executive director of the Liquor Control Commission, said Wednesday.

Over 19 days in August, for instance, one medical marijuana cardholder bought nearly 13 pounds of cannabis. Another bought 7 pounds over 10 days that month. Officials said the questionable transactions came from a small percentage of cardholders and that the typical purchase for most cardholders was 4 grams or less.

Marks said marijuana program overseers worried that the state’s low marijuana prices enticed some cardholders to stock up and “take it to Iowa or wherever and sell for a profit.� “We saw that happening,� he said, adding it was “a little bit of a Ponzi scheme.�

Oregon has been in the crosshairs of U.S. Justice Department leaders for not doing enough to crack down on the black market. U.S. Attorney Billy Williams has repeatedly expressed frustration with the state’s failure to contain production and he’s chided top officials for not devoting enough resources to oversight and enforcement.

On Wednesday, patients and advocates for the medical marijuana program blasted the new limits at a contentious meeting of the state’s rules advisory committee.

Advocates said medical marijuana patients sometimes need large quantities of the drug to make products they rely on to treat their conditions and they accused the state of med-

dling with medicine.

The rules committee, made up of marijuana industry participants and advocates, called on the Liquor Control Commission to restore daily purchase limits to 24 ounces.

The at-times boisterous crowd included some of the same activists who have long championed Oregon’s 20-yearold medical marijuana program since its early days. For many, the rule reflects the latest change to a program that has experienced a steep drop-off in participation since voters approved recreational marijuana in 2014.

State statistics show Oregon has about 39,000 medical marijuana patients, down from 78,000 in 2015. The number of grow sites serving three or more patients has also plummeted from about 4,000 in 2015 to about 800 today, according to Anthony Taylor, a longtime advocate.

Cannabis is tax-free for medical marijuana patients. They also are allowed to buy more potent edibles and oils than recreational users, and until the latest rule change, they could buy more cannabis flower.

It remains a vital program for those who remain, supporters said.

Brent Kenyon, a licensed producer, processor and retailer based in Medford, accused regulators of scapegoating medical marijuana cardholders for black market diversion when recreational producers do the same. “You cannot punish everybody for the few bad actors,� he said. “You can’t do it. It’s not good policy.�

What Others Say

The Kavanaugh accusation is dangerous for the pro-life movement “While on the surface it is the embryo’s fate that seems to be at stake,” the sociologist Kristin Luker wrote in 1984, “the abortion debate is actually about the meaning of women’s lives.”

This line, from Luker’s book “Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood,” neatly encapsulates a longstanding pro-choice charge against the pro-life movement.

As much as opponents of abortion claim to care about the killing of the unborn, the argument goes, in reality abortion restriction is a means to a different end: The restraint of women’s choices, the restriction of their sexual freedom, their subordination to the rule of fathers and husbands and patriarchy writ large.

The reality has always been more complicated. From the beginning of the modern anti-abortion movement — whose origins lie in the 1960s, not just the aftermath of Roe v. Wade — it has included female leaders who identify as pro-life feminists and reject the idea that female liberty depends on a right to kill your unborn child. And while the pro-life grass roots tended to be strongly traditionalist on gender roles in the 1970s, with time pro-life and pro-choice citizens converged in their views on women’s roles; by the late 2000s, the Claremont McKenna professor Jon Shields wrote in a 2012 commentary on Luker’s book, a clear majority of pro-lifers voters held views that sociologists would describe as “gender egalitarian,” not traditionalist or Gileadean.

At the same time the abortion-rights movement was linked in its early days to a distinctive form of upperclass WASP paternalism — in which legal abortion was sold as a means of helping upper-class “good girls” out of trouble while keeping the undesirable fertility of other classes and races in check. And from Hugh Hefner’s early abortion-rights advocacy to a certain style of predatory male feminism today, support for legal abortion among men has often carried a strong whiff of selfinterest, with feticide as a get-out-of-responsibility-free card for caddish men.

But with all this said, it’s also obvious that social conservatism can lapse into a version of Luker’s portrait, and it’s easy to think of examples — the Todd Akin fiasco of 2012, for instance — where a cruelly sexist form of anti-abortion politics reared an ugly head.

Which is why the allegation of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh represents a uniquely dangerous moment for a pro-life movement that has spent decades working toward the goal of a fifth Supreme Court vote to amend or overturn Roe v. Wade.

Kavanaugh may be innocent. The allegation against him is plausible but not nearly as dispositive as the cascade of #MeToo claims that have felled other prominent men. If it is false, the work of a faulty or disoriented memory, then he is in a legitimately terrible position, with a lifetime’s reputation for probity at stake and no clear way to clear his name. Which is why the accuser cannot shirk testifying publicly, as her lawyer suggested last night, and expect her claims to keep him from the Supreme Court.

But she may testify, and her story may be true. And it has landed at a moment of great cultural peril for a type of social conservatism that regards itself as idealistic and pro-woman and capable of marrying its convictions to support for female advancement and empowerment.In its targets the #MeToo movement has made no partisan distinctions; if anything, it has probably ended the careers of more prominent liberal pigs than right-wing men. But for reasons of political expedience, conservatives have been more likely to make excuses for their predators, and indeed have elevated one of the more prominent examples to the White House. That elevation, and the Trumpification of the right it has required, has accelerated the political polarization of the sexes, so that what was once a milder gender gap is now an extraordinary gulf.Thanks to Trump and his enablers, then, liberals and the Democratic Party have been able to take the long list of Hollywood creeps and Acela-corridor bounders and say, look, we have a problem, but we’re dealing with it.

While conservatives and the Republican Party are stuck as the vehicle for male defensiveness and anti-#MeToo backlash.

Trump heads to UN as US retreats

By MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer

WASHINGTON — America first? Try America first, second and third.

As President Donald Trump prepares for his second U.N. General Assembly, the Olympics of international diplomacy, his administration has turned unabashedly and profoundly inward, pursuing ever more unilateral policies in what critics argue is a great retreat from global engagement that had been a bipartisan hallmark of previous U.S. leaders.

Trump aides who used to qualify his well-worn campaign slogan by insisting that “America first does not mean America alone” are gone. In their place are advocates of inviolable state sovereignty who share a belief that many of the institutions established after World War II to secure and maintain international order are either obsolete or in need of serious revision.

Ahead of the General Assembly, some expect the meeting to have a different tone from last year when wary world leaders weren’t prepared for Trump’s brand or style of diplomacy or for his determination to push an “America first” agenda. This time around they know what to expect.

“A lot of leaders have gamed out how to deal with the president,” said Jon Alterman, senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “They will be nice to him in person, but will work to create broad coalitions to block or undermine a lot of the president’s initiatives because they think they are misguided. They’ll try to use this meeting to advance strategies that promote their vision and not the president’s, but not rub the president’s face in it.”

Stewart Patrick, a former State Department official in President George W. Bush’s administration who is now a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, said Trump is “abdicating global leadership and retreating into narrow-minded nationalism” and that his approach “provides few incentives for other countries to align themselves with American purposes.”

“The administration’s unilat-

eralism is wearing thin, as (U.N.) member states tire of America’s browbeating and unwillingness to compromise,” he wrote on Wednesday. “Next week, the president will encounter a more skeptical global audience, woke to the reality that his administration’s diplomacy is all take and no give. “ Getting the Trump administration to change course, however, may be difficult, considering its foreign policy trajectory.

When former Secretary of State John Kerry left the State Department for the last time on January 19, 2017, he told diplomats that the United States was “more engaged in more places in this world with greater positive impact than at any time in American history.”

His assertion was arguable at the time. But if it was true then, it is no longer.

The seeds of the retreat were planted even before Trump fired his first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, in March, and the departures the next month of his chief economic adviser, Gary Cohn, and national security adviser, H.R. McMaster.

In his first several months, Trump withdrew from a transPacific trade deal, the Paris climate accord and pulled the U.S. out of the U.N.’s science, educational and cultural organization. He repeatedly questioned the relevance of NATO, the utility of other

Classic Doonesbury, 1991

multilateral groups and organizations, insulted the leaders of U.S. allies and pared back the Obama administration’s rapprochement with Cuba. In December, against the advice of his national security team, he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

But since Tillerson, Cohn and McMaster left and were replaced with Mike Pompeo, Larry Kudlow and John Bolton, the

pace of the retreat has intensified and heading into the General Assembly appears set to increase.

In the last six months alone, Trump has pulled the U.S. out of the U.N. Human Rights Council, yanked funding for the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, halted virtually all assistance to the Palestinians themselves and re-ignited the Jerusalem dispute by moving the U.S. embassy there from Tel Aviv.

Nation 4 dead after Maryland warehouse shooting

By DAVID McFADDEN Associated Press

ABDERDEEN, Md. — Three people were killed Thursday morning in a shooting at a Rite Aid distribution center in northeast Maryland, officials said.

A law enforcement official with knowledge of the shooting stressed that the number of dead is based on preliminary information. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss details by name and spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press.

A suspect was taken into custody and was in critical condition, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler told a news conference.

It appears only one weapon, a handgun, was used and no shots were fired by responding law enforcement officers, Gahler said. He also said multiple people had been killed and wounded in the shooting, without giving any other details on casualties.

A Baltimore hospital said it had received four patients with gunshot wounds from the shooting. Johns Hopkins Bay-

view Medical Center spokeswoman Monica Stone said in an email Thursday that she was unable to provide details about the patients’ conditions.

Gahler said the call about shots fired came in from the Rite Aid distribution center at about 9:06 a.m. and deputies and other officers were on the scene in just over five minutes.

“We are so preliminary in this investigation,” Gahler said.

“It’s so important that we deal in facts.” He said authorities don’t want to “make it worse” for the families involved by giving out incorrect information.

Mike Carre, an employee of a furniture logistics operation next to the distribution center where the violence erupted, says he helped tend to a wounded man.

Carre locked the doors of his workplace after the injured man came hobbling in, bleeding from his leg. He called 911 from a bathroom before helping colleagues wrap the man’s blood-soaked jeans above his injury to cut off blood flow.

At a nearby fire station, family members were waiting to be reunited with loved ones.

ST. LOUIS — The college students and neighbors gathered at a St. Louis coffee shop seemed like one of the friendlier crowds Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill might face campaigning in heavily Republican Missouri. But the audience on a recent night came armed with tough questions and unafraid to push back — or cast a side eye — at any answer they didn’t like.

Why did she support an immigration deal that increased funding for border security?

(It was a compromise, McCaskill said, and “there’s nothing wrong with having rules.”)

What did she think of NFL players kneeling during the national anthem? (“I don’t think it’s appropriate … but I respect anybody’s right to do it.”)

Should Democrats run on impeaching President Donald Trump?

“I don’t think so,” McCaskill replied, acknowledging it wasn’t what some wanted to hear. “I’m authentically a mod-

erate. For those of you who are already irritated with me, now you’re going to be more irritated.”

The night summed up the double challenge facing McCaskill in a race that could decide whether Democrats take control of the Senate in November: The same liberal energy that’s led to insurgent Democratic victories around the country is spurring voters she should be able to count on to demand that she move to the left, even as she has to attract some Trump voters to win in a state he carried by almost 20 percentage points.

The president has campaigned for her opponent, state Attorney General Josh Hawley, telling an audience this summer, “We need Josh badly.”

Trump is scheduled to return to Missouri for a rally Friday.

Hawley, a 38-year-old Yale and Stanford graduate elected to his first public office in 2016, says McCaskill supports a “radical left-wing agenda” that’s at odds with what Missouri voters want. He’s called on McCaskill to debate him

Police blocked off the road outside but were waving in cars driven by people who said they were there to meet up with people who were at the distribution center.

Reggie Rodgriguez’s mother works at the distribution center.

His wife had tried calling her numerous times but got no answer.

“I was calling her all morning. It went to voicemail because they keep their phones in lockers,” said Kelly Rodriguez, 40.

When they finally reached his mother Thursday afternoon, Reggie Rodriguez said, “That’s

across the state, holding campaign events alongside a trailer with two lecterns, bales of straw and a “Let’s Debate” banner.

“It is no small thing that people of this state voted for this president by 20 points,” Hawley said during a stop in Columbia. “Quite frankly I think she’s forgotten where she’s come from.”

Republicans view the contest as one of their best chances of flipping a seat in the Senate, where the GOP has a slim 5149 majority, and polls show it’s a toss-up.

Democrats are hoping the enthusiasm that’s put the GOPled House in play will spill over to the Senate, though the map there is much tougher.

McCaskill is among 10 Democratic incumbents seeking reelection in states Trump won — some by wider margins than Missouri.

But the 65-year-old former prosecutor and state auditor has won tough races before, running as a moderate in an increasingly conservative state.

Fate of FEMA leader in doubt as Florence cleanup continues

By COLLEEN LONG Associated Press

WASHINGTON — While Hurricane Florence barreled through the Carolinas, a different type of storm was brewing within the federal disaster relief agency tasked with responding to the fallout.

The fate of Brock Long, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was cast in doubt with revelations that he was being investigated by Homeland Security’s internal watchdog and a congressional committee for the possible misuse of government vehicles.

The watchdog, the inspector general’s office, has turned the review over to federal prosecutors to determine whether any criminal charges are warranted, according to a person familiar with the probe. The person was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation and requested anonymity.

Long, a well-respected emergency manager, says he is not focused on the probes.

“I am fully focused on those impacted by Hurricane Florence,” he said in a statement Monday evening, after being asked for comment on the investigation.

But some emergency management experts say the investigations are a distraction for the beleaguered agency as it deals with the worst storm of the year.

Beverly Cigler, co-chair of a Hurricane Katrina task force set up by the American Society for Public Administration, said

Long has been working hard but that “any organization has to have active engaged leadership at the very top.”

“You don’t want your FEMA administrator to be under investigation that’s going to distract you somewhat no matter how focused you are,” said Cigler, a Penn State distinguished professor emerita.

Rafael Lemaitre, who was a senior FEMA official in the Obama administration, said the timing was troubling.

“For these allegations to emerge in the hours before landfall of a major hurricane is a huge distraction to the work the FEMA administrator is doing,” he said.

The agency is already under pressure after a grueling hurricane season last year that included Harvey, Irma and Maria.

The federal response to Maria in Puerto Rico was widely criticized; President Donald Trump has lashed out over the criticism and suggested without evidence the revised death toll of nearly 3,000 was a conspiracy made up by Democrats.

Long has not been asked to resign. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who oversees FEMA, has said she has confidence in him. Other Trump administration officials have lost their jobs over ethics issues related to travel, but they involved more outsized allegations.

Long, 43, took over as FEMA administrator in June 2017. He has extensive emergency management experience — a federal requirement for

all I wanted to do: Hear her voice.” His mother was uninjured. He said she sounded relieved the crisis was over.

A law enforcement official said authorities were working their way through the distribution center to clear the facility.

“We obviously need to methodically go through the entire complex, ensure there are no other victims inside, ensure that there is no one that was hiding from violence and ensure that there were no other suspects,” said Christie Hopkins is communications director for the Harford County sheriff’s office.

the job since the Bush administration’s bungled response to Katrina. He previously served in Alabama as the director of emergency management.

The investigations center on whether Long used government-owned vehicles for visits home to Hickory, North Carolina. It’s not uncommon for an inspector general to refer cases so federal prosecutors can determine whether charges are warranted, and it doesn’t mean he’ll be charged with a crime.

Meanwhile, Long has until Oct. 1 to turn over documents to the House Oversight Committee related to travel and hotels possibly used by FEMA employees who were required to accompany him on the personal trips.

Long has largely kept a low public profile during Florence.

He’d been front-and-center at press briefings as FEMA managed Hurricane Lane in Hawaii earlier this month. After the news broke of the investigation last week, Long appeared at a briefing in Washington to say he was fully focused on the storm preparations and would fully comply with the probe.

“Doing something unethical is not part of my DNA and it’s not part of my track record in my whole entire career,” Long said then.

But on Tuesday, he spoke at a North Carolina news conference with other emergency managers.

“It’s really important for me to get out of D.C. and to be on the ground to be able to help North Carolina,” Long said.

crats serving statewide in Missouri. She narrowly defeated GOP Sen. Jim Talent in 2006 as part of a Democratic wave that saw the party win control of the House and Senate. In 2012, she was considered one of the Senate’s most vulnerable incumbents until the GOP nominee, Todd Akin, said women’s bodies can prevent pregnancy in cases of “legitimate rape.”

The comment drew a national backlash, and McCaskill won easily.

Can she pull out another win this time around, in a political climate that’s even more polarized?

Polls show Trump’s approval rating has fallen since the 2016 election, including in Missouri, and McCaskill is pitching herself as a check on the president and some of his administration’s “worst instincts.” She’s stressed her support of health care coverage, noting Hawley joined other GOP attorneys general in a lawsuit seeking to throw out the federal health law without providing for a way to continue coverage of pre-existing conditions.

DETROIT — Nissan recalled nearly 240,000 cars and SUVs worldwide due to a fire risk and is advising people to park the vehicles outdoors in rare cases.

An anti-lock brake pump can leak brake fluid onto a circuit board, causing an electrical short and increasing the fire risk, according to the company. If drivers see the anti-lock brake warning lamp for more than 10 seconds after starting the engine, Nissan urges them not to drive the vehicles and park them outdoors and away from structures or other vehicles.

The recall covers certain 2015 to 2017 Nissan Murano, 2016 and 2017 Nissan Maxima, 2017 through 2018 Nissan Pathfinder and 2017 Infiniti QX60 vehicles.

Nissan estimates 56 percent of the vehicles have the problem, which has been traced to faulty seals in the pump.

Some Muranos were recalled for the same problem in 2016.

Documents posted Thursday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration don’t say if there have been any fires. Nissan spokesman Steve Yaeger said Thursday he’s checking to see if any fires have occurred. He said there have been no related crashes or injuries.

Judge refuses to delay US trial of ‘El Chapo’ NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. judge on Thursday rejected a request to put off the trial of notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

Lawyers for Guzman told U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan at a hearing in federal court in Brooklyn that they needed more time to review evidence in the drug-trafficking case.

But the judge said he was sticking with a schedule that has jury selection beginning on Nov. 5. He had already agreed in July to delay the trial by two months.

A lawyer for Guzman, Jeffrey Lichtman, told reporters afterward that the defense team is faced with processing a “gargantuan” amount of material before the trial starts.

“I am disappointed we did not get more time but as the judge said, you never feel that you are totally ready in a trial of this magnitude,” Lichtman said. “We deal with the hand that we’re dealt.”

Guzman, who was extradited to the U.S. last year, has pleaded not guilty to charges that his cartel laundered billions of dollars and oversaw a ruthless campaign of murders and kidnappings. He faces life in prison if convicted at a trial that could last several weeks.

Authorities have kept Guzman in solitary confinement, mindful that he has twice escaped from prison in Mexico.

The second time, it was via a mile-long (1.6 kilometer-long) tunnel dug to the shower in his cell.

‘Sesame Street’ wants to clarify: Bert and Ernie aren’t gay NEW YORK — The producers of “Sesame Street” want you to know that Bert and Ernie are not, in fact, gay.

Sesame Workshop tweeted Tuesday the characters have many human traits but “remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.”

The workshop did not answer questions about why some puppets have been given girlfriends.

In a second tweet, the workshop says, “Sesame Street has always stood for inclusion and acceptance.”

The tweets came in response to an interview published Sunday by Queerty with Mark Saltzman, a “Sesame Street” writer. He says when he was writing scenes with Bert and Ernie, he “always felt that without a huge agenda” they were lovers .

Frank Oz, who created the Bert character, also weighed in. He tweeted that he and Muppets creator Jim Henson “never created them to be gay.”

Robert Byron Gillam

Born on the banks of the Chena River in Fairbanks, Alaska, local entrepreneur Bob Gillam passed away at sunset on a beautiful autumn afternoon in Anchorage, surrounded by family.

Bob moved to Anchorage before statehood, attending local schools. At one time he was the Alaska Soap Box Derby champion. At West High School, Bob was rumored to have ridden his motorcycle down a hallway and to have thrown cherry bombs into school toilets. But as a bad boy gone good, Bob also participated in the downhill ski team, played the clarinet and won a ribbon at the science fair for his working Teslacoil, all in keeping with his multifarious capabilities and interests.

Bob graduated with a degree in economics from the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania where he was elected president of his fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi; and he received his MBA in one year from the Anderson School of Business at UCLA. Returning to Anchorage during the late 1960’s, Bob became a broker for Foster and Marshall where his skills in finance prompted invitations to advise numerous private and governmental boards and organizations. During that time, he lunched every week at the Club Paris, earned his private pilot’s license and fished every weekend on the Kenai River where he often was heard to exclaim, “You don’t go fishing to catch fish.”

During the early 1990’s, Bob famously sold his cobalt blue Jaguar to start McKinley Capital Management which grew to be a prosperous global asset management firm strategically located in Anchorage for conducting international business. He used to point out that when it was lunch time in Anchorage it was dinner time on Wall Street and breakfast time in Tokyo, an advantageous position for stock trading which was Bob’s passion.

Bob devoted considerable resources to helping save Bristol Bay salmon from “the wrong mine in the wrong place.” The protective salmon initiative he fostered won every precinct in every corner of Alaska, an electoral feat never accomplished by any candidate for any public office in the state. He also was a generous philanthropist who funded many local causes, especially food for the hungry and scholarships for struggling college students. Bob often donated anonymously, caring more about the cause than the recognition.

In addition to his family, the stock market and great red wine, Bob loved flying, hunting, fishing and adventure. He shot deer in Alaska, Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota; he shot lions and Cape Buffalo in Africa; and he shot bears in Alaska, Canada and Russia. He fished with gusto not only throughout Alaska and his beloved Lake Clark area, but also in many lakes and rivers in New Zealand, Iceland, Scotland, Russia, the Bahamas and assorted western states. He was a man of many interests including Biblical and European history, Thermopylae Pass, birds of Alaska, medical science and space travel. Bob achieved great success in his life through dedication and hard work, but he always remembered his modest beginnings. He had a unique sense of humor, and he was a gifted joke and story teller.

His uncompleted bucket list included running the Baja 1000, studying the legendary Lake Clark Monster, hunting sheep in Mongolia, learning to play the piano, expanding his oil painting techniques and visiting Jerusalem, the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the terraces of Machu Picchu.

Bob is survived by his wife, Mary Lou Couch Gillam, and his five children and their families, Robert Arthur Gillam (Stacia and sons Benjamin and Nicholas); Vicki Gillam Norris (Trevor and sons Nash and Brock); John Clark Gillam (Katie); Mary Roxanne Gillam (fiancé Arne Krogh); Frank Hunter Gillam; and siblings Linda Black, Kathy Wagner, and Dick Gillam.

To quote Ernest Hemingway, Bob strived to, “Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the romance of the unusual.”

Funeral services will be held at the Hotel Captain Cook on Sunday, September 23, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. A private burial will take place at a later time.

Abe re-elected as party head, to stay on as PM

By MARI YAMAGUCHI Associated Press

TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was reelected as head of his ruling Liberal Democratic Party in a landslide Thursday, paving the way for up to three more years as the nation’s leader and a push toward a constitutional revision.

The decisive victory may embolden Abe to pursue his long-sought amendment to Japan’s U.S.-drafted pacifist constitution, although the hurdles remain high and doing so would carry political risks.

“It’s time to tackle a constitutional revision,” Abe said in a victory speech.

Abe said he’s determined to use his last term to pursue his policy goals to “sum up” Japan’s postwar diplomacy to ensure peace in the country.

“Let’s work together to make a new Japan,” he said.

Abe, who has been prime minister since December 2012, has cemented control of his party and is poised to become Japan’s longest-serving leader in August 2021.

He has several policy challenges, including dealing with Japan’s aging and declining population, a royal succession in the spring, and a consump-

tion tax hike to 10 percent he has already delayed twice.

Amid international effort to denuclearize North Korea, Abe seeks to meet with Kim Jong Un to resolve their disputes, including the decades-old problem of Japanese citizens abducted to the North. He faces China’s increasingly assertive activity in the region, and intensifying trade friction with the U.S. that could shake his friendly relations with President Donald Trump.

Abe said he will meet with Trump next week in New York, where they attend the annual U.N. assembly, to discuss bilateral trade and “the roles Japan and America should play in establishing global trade rules.”

Abe renewed his commitment Thursday to push for a revision to the U.S.-drafted 1947 constitution, a decadesold pledge of the Liberal Democratic Party since its foundation in 1955 and a goal that none of Abe’s predecessors has been able to achieve.

Many conservatives see the constitution as a humiliation imposed on Japan following its World War II defeat. Among them was Abe’s grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, who served as prime minister 1957-1960.

Kishi was imprisoned as a sus-

pected war criminal during the U.S. occupation.

Constitutional revision is divisive and it’s unclear whether Abe could get enough votes for passage.

For the public, the constitution is a lesser concern than issues such as pay, education and the high cost of child care, surveys show.

If a revision is rejected in a national referendum, Abe would likely have to step down.

“It’s a goal that would be difficult to achieve,” Abe told a news conference later Thursday.

“We’ll have to walk on a thorny path.”

Abe and his party want to rush a revision while their ruling coalition still holds two-thirds super majority in both houses

— a requirement to propose a revision. The next parliamentary election is due next summer.

Abe seeks to submit a draft constitution revision to a parliamentary session later this year.

He is proposing to add a clause to Article 9, which bans the use of force in settling international disputes, to explicitly permit the existence of Japan’s military, now called the Self-Defense Force.

Abe has survived a series of scandals, including cronyism allegations against him and his wife. Despite attacks from opposition parties and criticism in the media, he has seen his support ratings bounce back to about 40 percent, considered high for a Japanese leader after nearly six years in office.

BEIJING — China’s No. 2 leader appealed Wednesday for support for free trade and promised to improve conditions for foreign companies following tit-for-tat U.S. and Chinese tariff hikes in a battle over Beijing’s technology policy.

Premier Li Keqiang’s comments add to Beijing’s effort to portray itself as a defender of global trade in the face of complaints by Washington and other trading partners that China violates its market-opening commitments.

Also Wednesday, a foreign ministry spokesman accused Washington of lacking sincerity after it proposed negotiations and then raised tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods. But he gave no indication whether Beijing would take part in talks.

China responded to President Donald Trump’s tariff hike by imposing its own penalties Tuesday on $60 billion of American imports.

The two countries previously raised import taxes on $50 billion worth of each other’s goods in the battle over U.S. complaints Beijing steals or pressures foreign companies to hand over technology.

American officials also object to Chinese plans for stateled development of champions in robotics and other fields.

They say that violates Beijing’s market-opening commitments and might erode U.S. industrial leadership.

Speaking at a business conference, Li made no direct mention of the tariff fight but called for disputes to be resolved through negotiation.

“It is essential that we uphold the basic principles of multilateralism and free trade,” the premier said in a speech at the World Economic Forum in the eastern city of Tianjin.

Disputes “need to be worked out through consultation,” said Li, the country’s top economic official. “No unilateralism will offer a viable solution.”

was up to Beijing to decide when to talk.

The foreign ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang, criticized “U.S. threats, intimidation and blackmail.”

“What the United States is doing shows no goodwill and no sincerity,” Geng said at a daily briefing in Beijing.

Trump threatened to add an additional $267 billion in Chinese imports to the target list if Beijing retaliated for the latest

BEIRUT — The leader of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah boasted Thursday the group now possesses “highly accurate” missiles despite Israeli attempts to prevent it from acquiring such weapons.

Hassan Nasrallah didn’t offer specifics on the precision weapons, but his comments prompted a reply from Israel’s Prime Minister.

Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Hezbollah leader that “if he confronts us, he will receive a lethal blow that he can’t even imagine.”

Israel worries that Hezbollah has been improving its capabilities and Israeli officials have said they will not allow “game-changing” weapons, such as guided missiles, to reach the group.

In recent months, Israel has acknowledged carrying out scores of strikes in Syria, most of them believed aimed at halting suspected arms shipments for Hezbollah from Iran, its main backer and Israel’s archenemy.

On Thursday, Nasrallah claimed Israeli strikes in Syria to prevent Hezbollah from acquiring precise missiles were ineffective.

“I tell (Israel) no matter what it did to cut the route, it is over. It has already been achieved,” he said, adding that Hezbollah “now possesses precision missiles and non-precision and weapons capabilities.”

Nasrallah was speaking during a traditional televised speech at the end of Ashoura, a top religious holy day for Shiite Muslims that lasts for ten days.

He told supporters to be confident and Israelis to be concerned of Hezbollah’s capabilities.

Nasrallah said the balance of power in the region has changed.

Hezbollah has thousands of fighters in Syria supporting President Bashar Assad’s forces in the civil war.

“If Israel imposes a war on Lebanon, Israel will face a destiny and reality it didn’t expect any day,” Nasrallah said.

U.S. taxes. That would raise the total affected by U.S. penalties to $517 billion, covering nearly everything China sells to the United States.

Chinese officials deny foreign companies are required to hand over technology. But auto, pharmaceutical and other foreign companies are required to operate in China through local state-owned partners, which obliges them to share know-how with potential competitors.

ISTANBUL — Turkey expects lower economic growth in coming years amid concerns over inflation and a sliding currency.

Treasury and Finance Minister Berat Albayrak presented the government’s economic plan Thursday, which estimates 2.3 percent growth in 2019 and 3.5 percent in 2020. The previous forecast was 5.5 percent for both years.

Albayrak estimated inflation this year would be 20.8 percent, a high rate that will be eroding standards of living. The Turkish lira has lost around 40 percent against the dollar so far this year, sharply raising the price of imports.

To fight inflation and support the currency, the central bank last week raised interest rates sharply, from 17.75 percent to 24 percent. Higher rates, however, will also dent growth.

Investors have been selling the Turkish currency because they’re worried by the country’s high levels of foreign debt, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s economic policies and a diplomatic and trade dispute with the United States.

Albayrak said the new economic plan would ensure “sustainable and healthy” growth and would reassure investors.

The lira was down slightly, by 0.9 percent at 6.3 per dollar, following the announcement.

Albayrak also said the government will try to create 2 million new jobs by 2021 and expects to make savings worth 60 billion Turkish lira ($9.6 billion) in the coming year.

The savings will be made by curtailing spending on construction projects in 2019, turning instead to foreign investment for financing.

Guatemalan protesters demand Morales reverse on graft body

By SONIA PEREZ D. Associated Press

GUATEMALA CITY — Thousands marched Thursday to protest President Jimmy Morales’ decision to end the work of a U.N. anti-corruption commission that has helped lead high-profile graft probes targeting dozens of powerful Guatemalans, including one involving Morales.

Students, farmers, clerics, academics and others turned out in the streets of Guatemala City as well as plazas and highways outside the capital to demand Morales allow the commission, known as CICIG for its initials in Spanish, to stay.

“Jimmy and Sandra resign, because you are part of the mafia,” read some banners, referring to the president and his foreign minister, Sandra Jovel.

“It is a general feeling of rejection of a government that has not been able to run things well,” said opposition lawmaker Paul Briere, who took part in the march.

Morales announced at the end of August that he would not renew the mandate of the commission for another two-year term, giving it until the end of its current mandate next September to wind down its activities and transfer them to Guatemalan institutions.

He then barred CICIG chief Ivan Velasquez, a Colombian national, from returning to Guatemala from a work trip to

the United States, calling him “a person who attacks order and public security in the country.”

The Constitutional Court overruled that decision, but it was not immediately clear whether Velasquez would be able to return.

Also Thursday, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reiterated during a news conference that Velasquez enjoys his full confidence and he sees no reason for that to change.

Guterres added that the United Nations consulted with Morales’ government about appointing a deputy to Velasquez responsible for “coordinating CICIG’s actions” in the country.

Friction between Morales and the commission began in

January 2017, when CICIG and Guatemalan prosecutors sought arrest warrants for the president’s brother and son on graft charges. Both are currently being prosecuted.

In a subsequent case, Morales is suspected of having received more than $1 million in undeclared campaign financing. He denies any wrongdoing and is immune from prosecution as a sitting president.

A request to lift that protection is before lawmakers for a decision.

Previous corruption investigations brought by CICIG and prosecutors have ensnared politicians, public officials and businesspeople and led to the resignation and imprisonment of former President Otto Perez Molina.

Religion Forgiveness The topic of forgiveness is a very deep topic with far ranging implications into every relationship in our lives.

It is not a question of whether conflict or trauma will happen in our lives. The question is only when it happens and to what extent. All of this is complicated by the fact that there are at least two people involved and perhaps many more. Conflict happens in the workplace, in families and in organizations. Unless there is mutual submission, humility, forgiveness and conciliation, employment is lost, families are destroyed and organizations crumble from within.

There can be deep emotional blocks to forgiveness and reconciliation.

That is when we need to consider the nature of forgiveness and reconciliation as well as the true source of forgiveness and reconciliation. Instead of arguing our rights and

if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

You see, we may desire to forgive because we know that we are going to need forgiveness. Author Philip Yancey describes forgiveness as an act of exchange which is an “unnatural act”. But it is also saying “I’m human. I make mistakes. I want to be granted that privilege, and so I grant you that privilege.”

Certainly a degree of humility and even repentance is necessary for reconciliation. A gentle spirit is also necessary.

Galatians 6:1-2 says: “… you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, “ This discussion is really about healing from conflict.

The offender and the offended both need each other in order to heal through reconciliation.

That may involve validating the other person’s feelings of injury. [e]

V oices of F aith ROGER E. HOLL

continuing the argument, we may consider what happened in the relationship. The source of forgiveness and restorative reconciliation find their origin, not in the law, but in the bible.

We are called to forgive one another whenever possible. Matthew 18:17. Much has been written about the self-destructive mental health and physical health detriments of holding on to anger in unforgiving upset. In the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6, Christ makes the statement “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”

Christ goes on to give us a command. 14 For if you forgive [d] others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But

Church Briefs The Apostle Paul gives us a simple instruction on how to avoid these hurts and injuries.

He addresses it to those who have been delivered from the domain of darkness and who have been transferred into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son. 12 So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14 Beyond all these things put on love, which is [l]the perfect bond of unity.

Russian church rebuffs Orthodoxy’s leader after Ukraine move

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV and JIM HEINTZ Associated Press

MOSCOW — The Russian Orthodox Church on Friday announced a rebuff to the leader of the worldwide Orthodox community, saying it would not participate in events headed by the Istanbul-based Ecumenical Patriarchate due to a dispute over control of the church in Ukraine.

The church also announced at a meeting of top priests that it would not even remember Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I in its prayers.

The meeting was called in order to respond to the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s decision last week to allow the Orthodox Church in Ukraine to be autocephalous — ecclesiastically independent. The Russian church, the world’s largest Orthodox communion, fiercely opposes the decision.

Church spokesman Metropolitan Ilarion insisted that Friday’s response by the leaders

of Russian orthodoxy “do not mean a complete break of the Eucharistic communion.”

However, it is a significant show of resistance to the authority of Bartholomew, who is considered the “first among equals” among Orthodox leaders.

According to the Interfax news agency, Ilarion warned of a split in the church if efforts to move the Ukrainian church beyond Russian authority continue.

“We will be forced to completely break the Eucharistic communion and this will mean Constantinople patriarch, who often positions himself as the head of the planet’s 300 million Orthodox, will no longer be its head,” he said.

The church in Ukraine has been tied to the Moscow Patriarchate for hundreds of years, although many parishes have split off over the past two decades to form a schismatic church.

Calls for self-government have increased since Moscow’s 2014 annexation of the Crime-

Stuart said the group consisted of about 15 community members, including two students from Kenai Central High School.

The dog park will take up a 150 x 150-foot portion of Daubenspeck Family Park, with room for expansion.

Man sentenced to 62 years in co-worker’s death ANCHORAGE (AP) — An Alaska man has been sentenced to 62 years in prison for the first-degree murder of a coworker at a wilderness lodge.

Steven Ridenour of Anchorage also was sentenced Tuesday for evidence tampering in the death of Steven McCaulley.

The men worked as caretakers at Port Williams Wilderness Lodge on Shuyak Island near Kodiak.

Ridenour left the island on a mail plane on Nov. 12, 2015.

The lodge owner five days later asked Alaska State Troopers to check on McCaulley. They found him dead outside a bunkhouse, shot 11 times.

Ridenour claimed self-defense. Investigators concluded he was angry with McCaulley and desperately wanted off the island.

About regrets I

spent a recent warm September morning gliding across Gavia Lake in the Swan Lake Canoe Route on a stand up paddleboard, casting my line in hopes of luring a rainbow trout to the board. Cast after cast, I came back with an empty hook.

My camping (and paddling and fishing) buddies all floated near their respective honey holes on the lake, seemingly catching fish left and right while my hook traveled out then in, with hardly a disturbance.

The group of us had portaged and paddled through a handful lakes the day before — Canoe, Contact, Martin, Spruce and Trout — and decided to make base camp along the shore of Gavia Lake before continuing out and down the Moose River.

I had wasted some hours already fishing by the time I caught anything beyond twigs. I finally found myself with a bend in my rod and a large (and growing larger with each retelling of this story) rainbow trout on my hook. I could hear the excitement in my own voice as my cheers echoed around the lake and back to me.

I could also hear my own disappointment when, once I finally landed the fish, I realized that I didn’t have the balance to keep the trout on the board. And just as the thought entered my head, the fish left my sight and swam down into the grasses.

So, back to wasting more hours paddling, fishing and catching twigs (and one peculiar shaped rock) — or sitting around the campfire.

After leaving Gavia Lake, and portaging to and paddling through Konchanee, Cygnet and Swan lakes, we reached the Moose River, a tenuous paddle for a large group who had already spent three days canoeing or paddleboarding throughout the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

The first five miles of the river flew by just as quick as the Moose River flows, pretty slowly. But it was the good kind of slow, where your paddling gets technical or you stop every once in a while to hear the wind blow through the reeds and watch the grasses flow below you.

We landed below a bluff and climbed to the top where a fire pit and well-loved campsite was waiting for us, just as the guidebook had promised. We set up camp before settling down to a well-earned meal.

We’d continue on down the Moose River in the morning, but in the meantime the only task at hand was to pass some time and eat s’mores. With an entire trip of chatter behind us, our last night’s campfire talk jumped straight to the point with a game of “Hot Seat.”

The name of the game has nothing to do with the campfire we played it around. Instead, one person is put in the hot seat for three minutes and subject to answer any question thrown their way.

Wings shut out Brown Bears Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears took their shots, but couldn’t sneak anything by Aberdeen (South Dakota) goaltender Matt Vernon.

The Brown Bears were shut out 1-0 Thursday to the Aberdeen Wings at the North American Hockey League Showcase at the Schwann Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota.

The Bears couldn’t crack Vernon, who earned the shutout with a 24-save performance and earned praise from Bears head coach Josh Petrich.

“It was playoff hockey in September,” Petrich said, adding that he believes Aberdeen is one of the top teams in the league. “Goals are tough to come by in this league, and we’ve got to be patient and do things well.”

Since taking their first two games last weekend with 12 combined goals in two games, the Brown Bears have netted two goals in two games, and have dropped to 2-2-0-0 overall. The Brown Bears continue with a Friday contest against the defending NAHL champion Shreveport (Louisiana) Mudbugs at 11 a.m. AKDT and a Saturday meeting with the Brookings (South Dakota) Blizzard at 3:30 p.m.

Billed as the “Greatest Show on Ice,” the showcase allows NAHL players to receive exposure in front of professional, college and junior hockey scouts, and Petrich believes his players have thus far put on an impressive show, despite the 0-2 record this week.

“We’ve got a lot of guys drawing interest, and that’s good,” he said.

Kenai River goalie Kevin Lake stopped 18 of 19 shots for the Bears,

and on offense, Petrich said each line produced chances with efficient play in the opposing zone.

Against a team like the Wings, a team that won the NAHL Central division last year with 39 wins and finished with the sixth-most points in the league, Petrich said that showed him a lot.

“It was a game of very few mistakes,” Petrich said. “There weren’t a lot of Grade A chances, both teams played really well and both teams look like good hockey teams.”

Nic Sicoly netted the lone goal of the game midway through the second period on a breakaway, getting the puck from Aberdeen teammate Joe Strada and finding a way around Lake for the 1-0 lead that proved to be the difference.

A day after allowing three powerplay goals to the Bismarck (North

Dakota) Bobcats, Petrich said the one even-play goal was a big step in the right direction. “(Yesterday) was a 10:30 game in the morning, and when you play 59 games at normal times and there’s that one game at 10:30 or 11, we didn’t come out ready to go,” Petrich said. “We didn’t have the jump we had last weekend.”

Crunch time Teams face elimination in playoff race

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

small-schools in 1985, Grace had 11 girls state titles and 10 boys state titles, Seward has six girls and boys crowns, Homer has six girls titles and a boys title, and ACS has four boys titles and a girls title.

Only four teams qualify for state, so one of these proud programs will be left out.

“What a great opportunity to compete with all these premier programs,” Calvert said.

Senior Jaycie Calvert and the Kenai girls have not lost to Division II competition all season, but coach Calvert said that doesn’t mean much with so many good programs and runners gearing everything just to be ready for the next two weeks.

Senior Brooke Satathite has been coming on strong

If it was a holiday, its name would be Elimination Day. On the penultimate week of the regular season, the end of the day Saturday should bring football fans closer to knowing which teams will be in the state playoffs, meaning some will be celebrating while others will be staying home in October.

The Northern Lights Conference race could be wrapped up this weekend. A Kenai Central loss against Kodiak means the Kardinals will miss the Division II playoffs for a third straight year. Kenai (0-1 in conference) enters the weekend third in the NLC, behind Soldotna (2-0) and Eagle River (2-1). The Wolves dismantled the Kards last week to finish up their conference schedule.

A Kenai loss would also cement the two playoff teams from the NLC, Soldotna and Eagle River, although seeding position would still be up for grabs between the two of them.

“We just need to continue to do what’s made us successful this year,” said Kenai head coach Dustin Akana. “We need to continue to be disciplined, trust your teammates and execute. We’re still preaching it because we still haven’t done it.”

In order to make the playoffs, Kenai needs to win out against Kodiak and Soldotna, which would force a three-way tie atop the NLC standings.

Tiebreakers then would decide the fate of the teams.

In the Division III Peninsula Conference, Nikiski is also facing elimination with a road date against Houston, which leads the conference at 3-0. Ketchikan currently holds the second seed at 2-1 while the Bulldogs are looking for a way in at 1-1 with two conference games remaining.

A Houston victory would give the Hawks the No. 1 seed

Runners flock to Tsalteshi

System to host Region II, Region III meets on same day

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Tsalteshi Trails usually get a lot of use, but even Saturday will be a busy day for the sharply rolling trail system just outside of Soldotna as the Region 2 and Region 3 meets come to town.

Kenai Central is hosting the Region 3 meet and Nikolaevsk is hosting the Region 2 meet, adding even more color to the grounds where the autumn hues are just reaching their peak.

“When you put all that work into it, you might as well give the spectators a great day of racing,” Kenai Central head coach Maria Calvert said.

The Region 3 meet is first, with the girls junior varsity

at 10 a.m. and the boys junior varsity at 10:45 a.m. The Division II varsity girls is at 11:30 a.m., the Division I varsity girls is at 12:10 a.m., the Division II varsity boys is at 12:50 a.m. and the Division I varsity boys is at 1:30 p.m.

The Region 2 meet follows, with the girls race at 2:30 p.m. and the boys race at 3:30 p.m.

Nikolaevsk head coach Steve Klaich, who started the Warriors program 10 years ago, said the Region 2 meet has been hosted by Susitna Valley for as long as he’s been around. But the Rams no longer have a cross-country team.

“We love the trail up there at Talkeetna,” Klaich said.

“It’s a nice place to run, but being close to home is cer-

tainly an advantage.

“We really appreciate Kenai Central’s help in co-hosting the Region 2 and Region 3 meets.”

Kenai Central is not only hosting the Region 3 meet, but adding one of the major plotlines as well.

The Kardinals dropped down to Division II this season, making the Division II level at Region 3 even more ridiculously loaded.

After winning the Division I running title in 2015, the Kenai girls were second in 2016 and 2017.

The Kardinals joined a region with Division II powers Grace Christian, Homer, Seward and Anchorage Christian Schools.

Traditional hand tools maintain trails in the Kenai Wilderness

T

he Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is 1.92 million acres. What many people don’t realize is that 1.3 million acres of this was designated as Kenai Wilderness by the U.S. Congress in 1980. Our designated Kenai Wilderness is divided, in turn, into three different wilderness units.

The Dave Spencer Wilderness Unit includes both the Swan Lake and Swanson River canoe systems that contain over 100 miles of lakes, portages and small rivers.

R efuge N otebook C hrista K ennedy trails. The largest of the three units, the Andrew Simons Wilderness, embraces refuge lands south of Skilak Lake down to the Caribou Hills, including 50 miles of trails mostly on the Tustumena Benchlands.

These three units hold the majority of trail miles within the National Wildlife Refuge System. You might expect the refuge’s trail crew would use

chain saws, all-terrain vehicles and other power tools for trail maintenance, but that’s not the case. The 1964 Wilderness Act tells us to protect and preserve wilderness character, specifically prohibiting the use of mechanized and motorized tools to protect lands and habitats.

We have used chain saws in the past in Kenai Wilderness but, over the last several years, our trail crew has received training to help us better manage in ways that are more consistent with wilderness legislation and policy. In spring 2017, the trail crew completed See REFUGE, page B3

for Kenai recently, as has fellow senior Maria Salzetti. Kenai has then gotten a big boost from freshmen Logan Satathite, Logan Foster, Leah Fallon and Katie Stockton.

The boys also will have to be on their game to assure a state appearance.

“Ultimately, we want the guys to just continue running the way they’ve been running and improving, and let the chips fall where they may,” Calvert said.

The team is led by sophomore Mason Dunham, who just won his second straight borough title but faces a stiff challenge at regions from a group led by ACS sophomore Tristian Merchant.

Others trying to get the Kardinals to state will be freshman Joe Hamilton, junior Tucker Mueller, junior Evan Stockton, freshman Luke Cross, freshman Samuel Roberts and freshman Wyatt White.

Homer assistant coach Annie Ridgely also is looking forward to the intense competition offered by this region.

“I love it,” she said. “It makes us faster and makes us work harder. That’s the nature of competition.”

The Homer girls had a string of three straight state titles snapped last season, but still have four straight region titles in a row.

“Our girls have never really raced with a full varsity team,” Ridgely said. “That’s really exciting. We feel like we’re right in there with Grace and Kenai and we really feel like it’s going to be a fight and a battle.”

The girls are led by junior Autumn Daigle, the defending Division II state champ.

Daigle gets a late start to the season because she fishes with her family. Though Daigle has not beaten Calvert this season, Ridgely said this is the time of the season Daigle gets faster and faster.

Others coming together to put the Mariners at full strength are freshman Fiona Hatton, senior Katia Holmes, sophomore Brooke Miller, freshman Kaylin Anderson, senior Seinna Carey and freshman Mariah McGuire.

Ridgely said her expecta-

tions were not as high for the boys at the beginning of the year as the girls, but that has changed.

“The boys team is coming together fabulously,” she said.

“I see them gaining incredible momentum and I really anticipate something good happening.”

Senior Luciano Fasulo is the team captain while sophomore Eyoab Knapp is usually right behind him. Ridgely said Fasulo has the mental toughness of a state champion wrestler, so anything is possible, even keeping up with Merchant.

Senior Bill Rich, senior Corbin Mattingly and sophomore Clayton Beachy also have been solid runners. Then Homer has a pair of wild cards in senior Daniel Reutov, whose athleticism is apparent in soccer, and junior David Weiser, who ran a personal record last Saturday at the tough Nikiski course.

Seward will be looking for a return trip to state on the girls and boys sides, where the girls were third and the boys were fifth last season.

At Nikiski, first-year coach Dylan Hooper said he knows his squad is not yet ready to give the traditional powers a run for state berths. Yet the Bulldogs are making progress.

Hooper is hoping to put together enough boys varsity runners for a team.

“We’ll see if we’re healthy this week,” he said. “It’s not that we’ll be competing for top spots, but it’d be neat if we could compete with the smaller teams like Houston. It’d be the first time all season that we had enough runners for a team score.”

The team will be led by juniors Bryan McCollum and Joey Yourkowski. Seniors Justin Cox and Gabe Smith are coming off injury, while senior Malcolm Yerkes and freshman Rory Gilmartin have enough practices to make Saturday their first race of the season.

“We’ve got a few guys running some decent times,” Hooper said. “With some commitment and getting some mileage in next summer, hopefully we can come into next season and be ready to have competitive times.”

Sophomore Emily Hufford will run for Nikiski in the junior varsity race.

The Division I race as the

Class 3A meet will only have one peninsula team in Soldotna, but the Stars promise to play a major factor.

“I think both teams have a great chance to get to state,” SoHi coach Ted McKenney said. “Whether the boys are first, second or third remains to be seen.”

The Stars girls were last to state in 2015, while the boys are looking to return for a second year in a row. McKenney said his runners are not favorites to win individual titles, but will play major factors in the team race.

The girls have been led by freshman Jordan Strausbaugh, while sophomore Erika Arthur or senior Tannis Lorring usually cross the line next. Freshman Ellie Burns and junior Cameron Blackwell make up the top five, while freshman Jordan Ruffner and senior Victoria Denison make up the rest of the team.

McKenney said Palmer is the favorite to win the girls meet, but the Stars are capable of getting second.

“I’m really happy with them and they’re a young team,” McKenney said. “The future should be good.”

The coach also likes his young team on the boys side.

He said Colony, Wasilla or Soldotna could win the meet, with Colony being the favorite.

Sophomore Mekbeb Denbrock has been leading the group, with juniors Lance Chilton and Bradley Walters next.

Junior Jack Harris then looms as a large figure if he can fully recover from a cold that slowed him at boroughs.

Filling out the rest of the team are sophomore Anchor Musgrave, freshman Nate Johnson and freshman Logan Shane.

The Stars also received a boost this week when Andy Liebner, a 2001 graduate of Soldotna, Division I state cross-country champion and cross-country ski coach at the last two Winter Olympics, came by to give a motivational talk.

“Everyone is trying to take it to the next level and a coach can only say so much so many times,” McKenney said. “To get to that next level requires motivation, whether it’s intrinsic or extrinsic, and Andy’s a good runner, good athlete and he’s been on state championship teams at SoHi.”

When the Region II meet kicks off, Nikolaevsk runners will have to finish in the top 10 to make state as individuals because the Warriors do not have enough girls or boys to qualify a team.

All the Region II teams don’t post times on athletic.net, but Klaich said Warriors freshman Justin Trail looks to be one of the race favorites. Trail won the borough middle school meet last season. This season, he won the junior varsity race at the Homer Invitational and the JV race at the Kenai Peninsula Borough meet.

Justin’s brother Michael, a senior, made state as a freshman and sophomore before finishing 11th at regions last year and just missing out. He is looking to get back this year.

The Warriors girls are the defending Region II champions, but do not have enough runners to field a team. Juniors Isabelle Hickman and Sophia Klaich will run for Nikolaevsk.

Coach Klaich said, judging from available times, Hickman’s best time would put her at state, while Sophia Klaich will have to improve her performance.

Port Graham will enter Elias Moonin and Tyson Breedlove in the race.

“This will be the first regional meet for both runners this year,” Port Graham coach Colby Way wrote in an email.

“We expect to enjoy the atmosphere of a larger meet and the quality trail system.

“Port Graham XC participating in the regional meet provides a great feeling for the entire community. Our runners have worked hard and we are looking forward to great competition and the hope of breaking some personal records.”

Browns snap losing streak

By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND — For the first time in 635 days, the Cleveland Browns won.

Baker Mayfield showed them how.

The No. 1 overall pick replaced injured starter Tyrod Taylor and sparked the Browns, who got two 1-yard touchdown runs from Carlos Hyde and beat the New York Jets 21-17 on Thursday night for their first win since Dec. 24, 2016.

“I’ve just been waiting for my moment,” Mayfield said.

“I’m just getting started.”

And so ends Cleveland’s 19game winless streak, the NFL’s second-longest since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

The Browns (1-1-1) trailed 14-0 in the first half before Mayfield came in for Taylor and led four scoring drives while winning an unexpected matchup against Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. Cleveland passed on taking Darnold in the draft and instead chose Mayfield, the Heisman Trophy winCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield celebrates a ner from Oklahoma.

Taylor suffered a concussion.

Darnold had one last chance, but was intercepted by Terrence Mitchell with 11 seconds left.

When the final seconds ticked off the clock, Cleveland fans, who had endured a 0-16 season and waited nearly two years to see their Browns win, erupted in celebration.

Refrigerators around the city stocked with Bud Lights were finally unlocked, and there figured to be more than a few beverages consumed in the hours ahead.

This was just one win, and while it was an ending, it also felt like a beginning — because of Mayfield.

“Dilly, dilly to the Cleveland fans,” Mayfield said, using the beer’s commercial slogan. “It’s not the only win we’re going to celebrate.”

Isaiah Crowell had two touchdown runs for the Jets (1-2), who seemed in control when they took a 14-0 lead and knocked Taylor from the game.

Newly signed Browns kicker Greg Joseph made field goals of 45 and 27 yards after being signed just three days ago.

Browns coach Hue Jackson got just his second win in 35 games since being hired by owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam, and

this win will ease some of the pressure he’s been feeling to get Cleveland turned around. Jackson could also be faced with a difficult choice — either stick with Mayfield or go back to Taylor when he’s healthy.

The decision might not be as tough now.

Jackson wouldn’t commit to staying with Mayfield, but referred to the performance as “his coming out party” several times.

Mayfield made his NFL debut with 1:42 left in the second quarter, replacing an injured Taylor after Cleveland’s starter was sacked for the third time.

Taylor struggled getting to his feet after being dragged down by linebacker Avery Williamson, but he had absorbed several hard blows before that — and had been ineffective.

With Cleveland’s crowd roaring, Mayfield completed a 14-yard pass to Jarvis Landry on his first pass as a pro and then found tight end David Njoku for 17 yards. Mayfield drove Cleveland into fieldgoal position and Joseph, who signed with the team on Monday following a tryout, drilled a low line drive to pull the Browns within 14-3.

Cleveland’s plan was to have Mayfield watch and learn this season.

Taylor’s injury may change everything.

For Darnold, a promising start ended with his second loss in three games. He completed 15 of 31 passes for 169 yards, but threw two picks late in the fourth as he tried to rally the Jets.

“I feel like I’ve got to play better and make better reads,” Darnold said. “I need to be more decisive. We’ve got to make them pay and put the ball in our playmakers’ hands.”

Hyde’s 1-yard TD run pulled the Browns within 14-12 and Cleveland tied it with a trick 2-point play .

Mayfield shifted to the left and the ball was snapped directly to running back Duke Johnson, who ran right and gave the ball to Landry on a reverse. Landry then lofted a pass into the end zone to Mayfield, whose conversion tied it and sent Cleveland fans into a frenzy.

Crowell scored his second TD with 7:54 left in the second quarter, and was flagged for excessive celebrating when he squatted and wiped the ball on his backside before flinging it into the crowd.

Woods, Fowler share lead at Tour Championship

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

ATLANTA — The crowd at East Lake was larger and louder than it has been in five years, which was the last time Tiger Woods was at the Tour Championship.

It was no coincidence.

Woods played one of his best rounds of the year in his return to the FedEx Cup finale and caused the biggest cheer of a sun-baked Thursday afternoon by making an eagle putt from just over 25 feet on the par-5 18th for a 5-under 65 and a share of the lead with Rickie Fowler.

It was the second time in as many FedEx Cup playoff events that Woods was tied for the 18-hole lead. He shot a 62 at Aronimink in the opening round of the BMW Championship two weeks ago on a rain-soaked course that allowed just about everyone to go low.

This felt even better on a dry, tougher East Lake course.

“This was by far better than the 62 at Aronimink,” Woods said. “Conditions were soft there. This, it’s hard to get the ball closer. If you drive the ball in the rough, you know you can’t get the ball close. You just can’t control it.”

Fowler, who missed two playoff events recovering from an injury to his right oblique, putted for birdie on all but two holes for his 65 as he tries to avoid ending the season without winning.

Justin Rose, in his debut as the No. 1 player in the world, got upand-down from the bunker for birdie on the 18th for a 66 and was tied with Gary Woodland. Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Tony Finau, all of whom will be in France next week for the Ryder Cup, were another shot behind.

Woods already considers this a successful year just by making into

the 30-man field at East Lake for the FedEx Cup finale, where everyone has a mathematical shot at capturing the $10 million bonus. He started the season in January after a fourth back surgery that limited him to only 16 PGA Tour events in the previous four seasons.

“To be able to play golf again and to earn my way back to this level is something that I was hoping I would do at the beginning of the year, but I didn’t know,” Woods said. “And I’ve done it?”

What would winning mean in this comeback?

“It would enhance the year,” he

said.

Woods still has 54 holes remaining.

Two weeks ago, he went from a share of the first-round lead to five shots behind on a course where attacking flags on soft greens was the only option for low scoring.

This was more about precision, and Woods felt in total control. He opened with a three-putt bogey from 25 feet, and he twice ran birdie attempts farther beyond the hole than he would have liked. But after making birdie putts from 25 feet on No. 5 and from 15 feet on No. 6, he figured out the speed of the greens and was on his way.

ably in our hands. The third step is to sharpen the ax’s blade.

We start with a file, but eventually move on to a sharpening stone. Just squirt a little WD40 on the stone and rub it in a circular motion on the blade’s edge. Once the blade is sharp enough to cut off arm hair, the ax is almost ready for the field.

In the final step, we rub linseed oil into the handle to protect it and help it last longer.

We also learned to use a crosscut saw. We quickly discovered that using a crosscut saw takes teamwork and good communication if the plan is to double buck.

Just like when using a chain saw, we have to determine what kind of bind the tree has, making sure wedges are placed at the right time and place so the

saw doesn’t get pinched in the tree.

There are a few golden rules to follow when double-bucking. Start your buck in a spot on the log without any knots in or around the area, but that’s way easier said than done.

Never push the saw — always pull. Allow your partner to pull the saw while you just guide it. Conversely, when you pull the saw, your partner guides the saw, ensuring an even amount of wood is taken with each stroke.

The bucking partners also need to decide when to place a wedge to keep the cut open.

Finally, as the bucking partners approach the end of their cut, they’ll have to decide if it’s better to finish as a double or single buck.

With our new training, the Kenai trail crew has moved completely away from mechanized and motorized tools to using nothing but traditional tools within the three wilderness units. As we are still learning to master these tools, we are a bit slower at maintaining the trails. The trade-off is that you and other visitors will be able to enjoy the solitude of the Kenai Wilderness and not see the telltale signs of modern machinery.

So, with s’more in hand and a sore thumb across a lifetime a drink in the other, I’m asked, or, even worse, they can pop “What’s your biggest regret?” into your head every mile or so

of paddling.

About regrets, I have a few, but there’s no sense in paddling upstream, even on a river as slow as the Moose.

Instead, I found that it’s better to go with the flow, paddle forward and find out which choices and decisions led me to where I am, and to be grateful that I made them.

Because even though I didn’t hold on tight enough to the biggest rainbow trout to ever grace my hook, the Swan Lake Canoe Trails and Moose River treated us well.

a weeklong course to help build our knowledge and skill level in using traditional hand tools to log out and brush our wilderness trails.

You might think it can’t be that difficult to get into the swing of things, right? Well, we spent one and a half days just making a personal, handcrafted ax for each crew member, ensuring that our ax heads were firmly and correctly set on their ax handle, which we customfitted to each individual.

The first step is getting the correct handle length for each member. We then shave the handle so its width fits comfort-

Sports Briefs Federer, Djokovic to play doubles together CHICAGO — Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have played against each other 46 times. From Monaco to Shanghai and everywhere in between. Regular, run-of-the-mill tournaments and major finals.

On Friday night, they play on the same side of the net for the first time.

Federer and Djokovic will close out the first day of the second edition of the Laver Cup when they take on Jack Sock and Kevin Anderson in doubles at the United Center. Federer and Djokovic are playing for Team Europe, while Sock and Anderson are competing for Team World in the Ryder Cup-style event.

“We have had so many great battles in all the singles courts, and to finally team up together I think is going to be very special for both of us,” Federer said Thursday. “I think we still have to talk over it a little bit exactly maybe either who’s going to take the lead or, you know, how do we play exactly.”

The pairing of Federer and Djokovic adds a little spice to an event long on star power and light on any real stakes. While world No. 1 Rafael Nadal and No. 4 Juan Martin del Potro are out with injuries, the Laver Cup has seven of the top 11 players in the ranking and 10 of the top 20.

But it arrives at the home of the NBA’s Bulls and NHL’s Blackhawks just a couple weeks after Djokovic beat del Potro in the US Open final for his 14th Grand Slam title. There are no majors left this year and the next big tournament isn’t until next month in Shanghai.

While the event looks and feels like a glorified exhibition — check out the unusual black court and the celebrations for the youthful Team World whenever it wins a big point — John Isner brusquely swatted away a question about the level of competition.

“Honestly, that question really annoys me,” the 6-foot-10 American said. “One-hundred percent serious. This is not an exhibition at all. At all.”

Red Sox beat Yanks, win 3rd straight AL East title

By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Mookie Betts and the Boston Red Sox won their third consecutive AL East championship Thursday night, clinching on enemy turf with an 11-6 victory over the rival New York Yankees.

Betts homered, doubled twice and drove in five runs, finishing with four hits as the Red Sox overcame Giancarlo Stanton’s go-ahead grand slam in the fourth inning. Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a tying home run in the seventh and Xander Bogaerts put Boston ahead with a sacrifice fly.

With the best record in baseball and a playoff berth already secured, Boston (104-49) closed out a once-tight division race with nine games to spare.

J.D. Martinez and the Red Sox, alone in first place since July 2, will open the postseason at home on Oct. 5 against an opponent to be determined.

Never before had Boston finished in first place three years in a row. The club needs one victory to match the franchise record held by the 1912 World Series champions.It took three tries, but these Red Sox finally earned their chance to celebrate

at Yankee Stadium under rookie manager Alex Cora.

After starter Eduardo Rodriguez walked a career-high seven in 3 2/3 innings, knuckleballer Steven Wright (3-1) worked three shutout innings for the win.

ATHLETICS 21, ANGELS 3 OAKLAND, Calif. — Marcus Semien had three hits and a careerhigh five RBIs, Stephen Piscotty homered and drove in four runs and Oakland hammered Los Angeles.

The Athletics reduced their magic number for clinching a playoff berth to five. Since June 15, Oakland is a major league-best 58-25.

Going into Thursday, Oakland trailed Houston by four games in the AL West, led Tampa Bay by 5 1/2 games for the second wild card, and was 2 1/2 games behind the New York Yankees for the first wild card.

Catcher Francisco Arcia pitched the last two innings for the Angels, and also homered in the ninth.

lantatook an important step toward winning the NL East by beating Philadelphia.

Atlanta leads the second-place Phillies by 6 1/2 games following the opening game of the four-game series. The teams close the season with three games at Philadelphia, but the Phillies need to win at least three of four in Atlanta to retain hope of making the final series meaningful. The Braves have a magic number of four over Philadelphia to clinch their first division title since 2013.

Freddie Freeman had two hits and scored two runs. He has eight hits in his last three games.

BLUE JAYS 9, RAYS 8

TORONTO — Justin Smoak homered with two outs in the ninth inning to lift Toronto past Tampa Bay, dealing a blow to the Rays’ wild-card playoff hopes.

Smoak hit his 25th homer of the season and third career walkoff blast. Sergio Romo (3-4) blew his eighth save in 30 opportunities.

David Paulino (1-0) pitched an inning for the victory as Toronto won for the fourth time in its past five.

Trailing 8-2 to begin the ninth, the Blue Jays roared back to snap BRAVES 8, PHILLIES 3 Tampa Bay’s five-game winning ATLANTA — Luca Duda’s streak. Tellez hit an RBI double and pinch-hit double drove in the go- Danny Jansen chased Jamie Schulahead run in the seventh, and At- tz with a three-run homer. Romo

came on and struck out Richard Urena, but pinch hitter Kendrys Morales singled and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. tied it with a two-run homer to left. Smoak followed with a first pitch drive to right.

Jonny Chirinos (5-5) was the loser.

WHITE SOX 5, INDIANS 4 CLEVELAND — Matt Davidson hit a run-scoring single with two out in the 11th inning to lift Chicago past Cleveland for the White Sox’s first victory at Progressive Field this season.

The White Sox were outscored 58-19 in dropping their first eight games in Cleveland, including a 4-1 loss Wednesday when Jason Kipnis hit a grand slam in the ninth.

Yolmer Sanchez doubled off Adam Cimber (0-3) to start the 11th and moved to third on a groundout. After Avisail Garcia was intentionally walked, Ryan Cordell struck out before Davidson singled to right.

TIGERS 11, ROYALS 8 DETROIT — Christin Stewart hit his first two big league homers and drove in six runs, leading Detroit past Kansas City.

in the Peninsula Conference and send Nikiski packing with a week left in the regular season.

“It’s been a tough year for us,” said Nikiski head coach Paul Nelson. “We’ve had different things set us back, between injuries and grades. It’s a grind, it wears on you, and you’ve got to keep the kids excited and pumped up, because we’re looking at the possibility of a .500 season.”

With postseason hopes on the line, here is a closer look at Week 7: Kodiak (2-3) at Kenai (2-4), 2 p.m. Saturday The Kardinals enter Saturday’s NLC contest at Ed Hollier Field looking to finish what they almost had last year on Kodiak’s field.

Down five points in the dying seconds of their 2017 meeting, the Kards were stuffed on third down at the Bears’ 2-yard line, then missed out on a fourth-down attempt when the Kenai coaching staff couldn’t get a timeout before the clock hit zero, resulting in a 27-22 Kodiak win.

It left Akana, then an assistant coach under Ted Riddall, ready for a rematch against the hard-nosed Bears.

“There’s some animosity there, some frustration there,” Akana said. “We’re going into this game to battle again, and hopefully we come out on the upper end.”

Akana said the pressure of being forced into a must-win situation is something that he has attempted to keep off his players, who are looking to break a three-year playoff drought.

“We haven’t made it seem like there’s pressure,” he said.

“I’ve been preaching, if we do what we do, focus on the small things, then we will have success.”

A 48-14 loss to Eagle River in Week 6 did not do Kenai any favors. Wolves quarterback Ryan Adkins exposed the Kar-

dinals defense by moving the ball 415 yards through the air for four touchdown passes.

While there were several big plays by the Kards, including an interception and a forced fumble by the defense, Eagle River ripped off their big plays more consistently.

“Last week against Eagle River, they saw the success when they were doing their job,” Akana explained. “When they decided to take a play off, they saw the result of that.

“We’re not coaching them for a must-win, live-or-die type of thing. We just have to be disciplined.”

Akana said the Kenai coaching staff has worked with the players this week in practice to be prepared for a Kodiak offense that likes to pound the ball on the ground while slipping in the odd surprise pass play.

“If their core offense is to run, we want to stop the run and make them pass,” he said. “The goal is to make them pass.”

Akana added that defensive end Ben Grossl has been ruled out for the season with an injury.

Nikiski (3-3) at Houston (51), 7 p.m. Friday The Bulldogs face elimination tonight with a tough opponent. Houston is undefeated this year against Division III competition, and can wrap up a perfect Peninsula Conference run by beating Nikiski.

Nelson said his players are prepared for war.

“We know we’re going to get more of the same as the last few weeks,” he said. “(Houston has) some fast linebackers and they like to bring the pressure.

We’ve been emphasizing in practice all week on picking up pressure and getting blocks.”

Against a fearsome defensive line, Nikiski QB Noah Litke will need to stay cool, Nelson said. Litke currently leads peninsula teams with 570 passing yards and eight touchdown throws in six games, but is coming off a three-interception day against Monroe Catholic.

“It’s been a work in progress,” Nelson said. “In games

where he’s gotten pressure, he’s thrown some picks, and that’s his newness to the position. We’ve coached him up to believe if it’s not there, don’t force anything. Just run it or take the sack. That’s much better than a turnover.”

Nelson said the key objective on defense will be to keep the Hawks from gaining an edge on the outside lanes of the field, where the Bulldogs have been burnt before.

Nelson also said senior running back Cody Handley has officially been ruled out for the season with a fractured talus ankle bone, which he suffered in a Week 2 win over Valdez.

Service (4-2) at Soldotna (51), 2 p.m. Saturday While other teams fight it out for conference spots, the Stars are sitting pretty on the top of the NLC at 2-0, and haven’t lost a game since their Week 1 toppling by West Anchorage.

One last nonconference battle remains against a Division I opponent before SoHi wraps up its season with the traditional SoHi vs. Kenai battle in Week 8. Head coach Galen Brantley Jr. said the Stars will have their hands full with a deep Service Cougars program in an important tuneup just two weeks before the postseason begins.

“It’s a playoff team out of the Cook Inlet Conference that’s going to give us everything to handle,” Brantley Jr. said. “We know we’ve been improving steadily, more improvement from last week in Kodiak. It’s just a matter of the unknown.”

With victories over Chugiak, West and Dimond in 2018, the Cougars have strutted their stuff in style. Traditionally sporting a spread offense, Brantley Jr. said Service will give the SoHi secondary a challenge.

But can they keep up with SoHi’s ground-and-pound game?

“They’re a very athletically talented team with outstanding quarterback play and a good coaching staff that’s taken over that program,” Brantley Jr. said.

“As far as the big schools go, they’re defensively good.”

Brantley Jr. pointed out Service’s win over West as a

good indication of how good the Cougars are, saying a win over a team that defeated SoHi needs to be taken seriously.

“They have enough talent to out-athlete a team we couldn’t,” he said.

Brantley Jr. noted that junior Jake Cooper is out for the year with an injury. Cooper was part of a rotation on the offensive line.

Seward (2-3) at Homer (0-6), 5 p.m. Friday A crucial contest stares two peninsula teams in the face this week. For Homer, a victory would break up a winless season and inject some relief into a tough campaign that followed up a state runner-up finish from 2017.

For Seward, a victory would keep the Seahawks in contention for a state playoff spot, even as a long shot.

The Mariners are also celebrating homecoming, and Homer coach Walter Love said he would like to give his players two more enjoyable regular season games and see where the chips fall.

“It’s been a season of weirdness, so everybody’s going to play,” Love said. “We’re going to give them a game, give them a good game, and just try to play (Seward) as even as possible. We’d like to put some points on the board.”

Homer beat Seward 45-0 last year, but that was with a powerful Mariners squad that eventually finished second at state.

That Homer team graduated the bulk of its star talent, so Love expects a much closer contest.

“We’re going to have some fun the rest of the season,” he said. “We want to score some touchdowns, and for some kids, this is the last home game of their career.”

Love said the team is currently dealing with a couple injuries, but will also welcome back senior Noah Fisk, who has been out since Week 3.

“It’s really big,” Love said about having Fisk back. “We ran Jadin Mann with the ball (last week against Ketchikan). … He’s a senior and he’s kind of been on me for him to run the ball a little.”

Russia’s anti-doping agency re-instated

By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer

The World Anti-Doping Agency declared Russia’s scandal-ridden drug-fighting operation back in business Thursday, a decision designed to bring a close to one of sports’ most notorious doping scandals but one bitterly disputed by hundreds of athletes and described as “treachery” by the lawyer for the man who exposed the corruption.

On a 9-2 vote, the executive committee took the advice of the agency’s compliance review panel and declared RUSADA as having satisfied conditions of reinstatement that were gradually softened over the summer.

In most tangible ways, the decision doesn’t change much: RUSADA has been up and running for a while, bringing one of the world’s largest testing programs back on line with the help of officials from Britain and elsewhere. And Russia’s Olympic committee was brought back into the fold after the Pyeongchang Olympics,

where athletes who could prove they were clean were able to compete as “Olympic Athletes from Russia.”

But RUSADA’s reinstatement, after nearly a three-year suspension, now clears the country to again bid for major international events — although soccer’s World Cup was held there this summer despite that restriction.

It also clears a major hurdle for Russia’s track team to be declared compliant by that sport’s international governing body (IAAF) — one of the few to take a strong, consistent stand against the doping — though IAAF released a statement saying there were other milestones still unmet and its next update isn’t due until December.

Perhaps most importantly, hundreds of athletes and dozens of world anti-doping leaders see it as a stinging rebuke to the ideal of fair play.

“WADA’s decision to reinstate Russia represents the greatest treachery against clean athletes in Olympic history,” said Jim

Walden, the attorney for Grigory Rodchenkov, the former Moscow lab director who exposed much of the Russian scheme.

WADA had been telegraphing the move since Sept. 14, when it released the recommendation of its compliance review committee. Olympic champion Beckie Scott resigned from that committee afterward.

“I’m profoundly disappointed,” Scott said to Canadian broadcaster CBC after the decision. “I feel this was an opportunity for WADA, and they have dealt a devastating blow to clean sport. I’m quite dismayed.”

Ben Hawes, chairman of the British Olympic Association’s Athletes’ Commission, said: “It is clear the process of the removal of these sanctions whilst key criteria has yet to be fulfilled has angered the athlete community.”

U.S. Olympic Committee chairman Larry Probst said “suggesting that Russia has lived-up to its obligations is disingenuous, and today’s decision to reinstate RUSADA flies in the face of WADA’s responsibility to clean

athletes everywhere.”

Even in Russia, where the news was welcomed, it came with a sense that there’s still work to be done.

“These questions will always follow us,” said RUSADA CEO Yuri Ganus, whose appointment to the job was part of the housecleaning at the agency that WADA demanded.

“These aren’t the kind of skeletons which can lie unnoticed in the closet. These are the skeletons which will be banging on the closet door all the time.”

The two biggest roadblocks to RUSADA’s reinstatement (and still pending in the eyes of IAAF regarding the track team) involved the country accepting findings from a report by investigator Richard McLaren that concluded the government had engineered the doping scandal to win medals at the Sochi Olympics. It also involved Russia agreeing to hand over a trove of data and samples that could be used to corroborate potential doping violations that stemmed from the cheating.

USOC gets a reboot

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — What so many sex-abuse survivors on the U.S. Olympic team have been waiting to hear is that someone in power was listening.

On Thursday, incoming CEO Sarah Hirshland choked back tears and let them know that, indeed, she is. The most memorable moment from her first major appearance before the U.S. Olympic family came when the former USGA executive gasped for breath, held back a cry and closed her speech by saying, “I, for one, think our future is very bright.”

It was the most important speech of the 43-year-old CEO’s life. Over 15 minutes during which she warned the audience of 400 Olympians and Olympic administrators that she did wear her heart on her sleeve, she tackled the sexabuse trauma that has roiled the USOC and the U.S. Olympic team as a whole.

Brown says he’s frustrated by losing PITTSBURGH (AP) — The chorus of “The Storm Is Over” by gospel singer Kirk Franklin played as Antonio Brown approached his locker on Thursday, an intentionally apt choice

by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker/DJ Vince Williams to address the latest bit of drama surrounding his superstar teammate.

Brown heard the song and laughed. Then the All-Pro wide receiver stepped in front of his stall and turned to face the cameras. The music stopped. The smile faded. In its place? A mix of frustration, defiance and — he insists — remorse.

Yes, he’s upset the Steelers are winless through two games.

Yes, he probably shouldn’t have responded to criticism on social media from a former team employee by suggesting the team trade him if it wants to find out how productive he can be without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

No, he doesn’t actually want to get out of Pittsburgh. No, he doesn’t have an issue with offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner. And as for his demeanor during a 42-37 loss to Kansas City last Sunday?

Sorry, but he’s never going to apologize for letting his emotions bubble over when things aren’t going well.

“We haven’t won a game yet,” Brown said. “For me, as a Steeler, that’s unacceptable.

I’m not on the sideline begging for the ball, or making statements like you guys make. I’m pissed off. We’re losing. We suck.”

Pittsburgh (0-1-1) is off

to its worst start in five years heading into Monday night’s visit to Tampa Bay. That’s the problem, Brown insisted. His visible anger — he was caught slouching off the field following a late touchdown drive

by Roethlisberger against the Chiefs and shouting at Fichtner on the sideline — is a direct result of the team’s record. And that’s all.

“Our business is winning,” Brown said. “We’re not winning. And when we don’t win, I’m pissed off because I take it serious. A lot of time goes into this. A lot of hard work and effort.”

Brown finished with nine receptions for 67 yards and is tied for the team lead with 18 catches through two games. He’s on pace for another statistically remarkable season. Yet the sixtime Pro Bowler stressed he is far less concerned about his numbers than helping the Steelers get it together.

“I’m in the spotlight so you guys going to always put me under the microscope, but I’m a (passionate) individual,” Brown said. “I can’t fake the way I feel. I can’t hide the way I feel. If it wasn’t important to me, I’d just say it don’t matter.

But I’m not that type of guy who’s just around here cashing checks and don’t care. This means something to me.”

An approach his teammates and coaches understand, which is why Fichtner wasn’t bothered when cameras caught Brown shouting in Fichtner’s direction on the sideline late in the fourth quarter against the Chiefs.

Crossword

Accident ends couple’s plan to have children together has become a toxic relationship so he won’t have to take the responsibility.

Because his priority is having children “of his own,” he needs to move on and, frankly, so do you.

DEAR ABBY: I am NOT one of those fit, active, socially involved and sexy senior citizens. I had a hard childhood, was a busy wife and mother and, for decades, Abigail Van Buren worked at jobs I hated. I spent years longing for the day when I could retire and read, read, read without feeling guilty about taking time for myself.

Now that I’m retired, my baby boomer cohort seems to feel we seniors should all be wonder women and men. Worse, my millennial children seem to agree. Is there a succinct and polite way to tell them all to go take a flying leap? I’m perfectly OK with being fat, happy and a source of entertainment for my grandchildren, who are -- fortunately -- too small to be judgmental.

-- OLD-FASHIONED IN OHIO

DEAR OLD-FASHIONED: Those who appear to be nagging you are well-intentioned and concerned about you. So be polite and smile when you respond that you know they mean well, but you have worked long and hard to finally be able to do exactly what you want to do -- which is nothing but read, read, read and enjoy your grandchildren.

That said, a person does not have to be Wonder Woman or Superman to devote half an hour five days a week to her or his health by walking. You could listen to an audiobook while you do it. In addition, you could also do something fun with your grandkids that incorporates a little bit of movement for all of you. Just sayin’.

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.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Sept.

21, 2018: This year you open up to many of the options recently presented to you. You might be more enthusiastic than you realize about taking a new step in your life. If you are single, you are likely to meet several people of interest. Committing should not occur until you are positive about your feelings. If you are attached, the two of you grow even closer because of the strength of your communication.

You demonstrate the ability to detach and see the big picture. AQUARIUS warns against being too emotional.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your strong energy is enhanced by Lady Luck riding on your shoulder. You might feel as if you would like more control, but you cannot change the status quo. You’ll enjoy yourself more by relinquishing control. Relax and enjoy your loved ones. Tonight: The party goes on and on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Take a stand, if need be. You could be confused, as a partner seems to want to call the shots. Examine what is happening.

Do not get involved in others’ power plays. Your positive attitude encourages positive events to head in your direction. Tonight: Celebrate the weekend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Reach out to a friend at a distance. This person always has a strong impression of what needs to happen or what might be occurring behind the scenes. Your caring for this person might be more intense

Rubes

than you had thought. Tonight: Go for a very different Friday-night happening.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Listen to your sixth sense, and be more aware of what is needed in order to prevent complications. One-on-one relating points to a positive change between you and a loved one. Remain positive despite several ups and downs. Tonight: Turn your home into the party scene.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Accomplish as much as you can. You could be overwhelmed by a money venture and its implications. If you need to back out, by all means, do. You could feel as if two people are pushing you in two different directions. Detach for now. Tonight: Follow-through counts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Remain sure of yourself despite someone’s challenging behavior. You also might be intimidated by the possibility of this person’s reaction, as his or her temper is close to the surface. It would be wise to say nothing for now. Tonight: Visit with a neighbor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Reach out to someone you really enjoy being around.

This person helps you at work, as he or she encourages tremendous creativity to come forward. In your personal life, this person finds you a hoot to be around. Together, you have a blast. Tonight: Let the party go on and on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Defer to others, and you might see a change in certain people’s attitudes toward you. Pressure builds, and you no longer will be

Ziggy

able to avoid dealing with a personal matter. Try getting more in touch with your feelings if you want to have more self-control. Tonight: Order in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You rarely keep your thoughts to yourself. You are known for your bluntness. Others tend to listen, even if you hurt their feelings occasionally. A friend suddenly wants to share some news with you. Ask yourself what has triggered this sudden chattiness. Tonight: Among the crowds.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH An associate or loved one is likely to take charge. Kick back and enjoy a day off. Of course it will be hard to release your need for control, but if you don’t, you could have a power play on your hands.

Take some extra time to visit with a friend. Tonight: Togetherness works.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You cannot be prevented from having a good time. Even a difficult conversation does not affect your mood. In fact, you even might see some quality of humor in this exchange. Your positive frame of mind can make a big difference in your interactions. Tonight: As you like it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You naturally want to take time off from everything that is going on around you. You easily might decide to call out today and hang close to home. You are recycling your energy. Clear the workweek mentally before making plans for tonight. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster.

Camping with rust?

Dear Heloise: We inherited my uncle’s camper, and the sink has RUST STAINS. Do you have a cleaning formula that I can use instead of commercial cleaners?

-- Evelyn G., Shreveport, La. Evelyn, for a job like that, I’d recommend slicing a lemon in half and dipping it in borax. Then scrub the surface, rinse well and dry. Borax is abrasive and should get off that grime. If you need other suggestions on homemade cleaning solutions, you can get my pamphlet Heloise’s Homemade Cleaning Solutions. Just send $5, along with a long, stamped (71 cents), self-addressed envelope, to: Heloise/ Cleaners, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Or you can order it online at www.Heloise.com.

This formula works great for rust stains on porcelain or enamel tubs and sinks, but don’t use it on granite, glazed tile, laminate, marble or other surfaces that scratch easily.

-- Heloise A MEMORABLE GIFT Dear Heloise: As a way to say “thank you” to my parents and my in-laws for their help and generosity at our wedding, I took two of our wedding invitations, along with two photos of my husband and me at our wedding, and had them framed with the invitation and the photo side by side. It was a keepsake gift for each of them to remember our lovely wedding.

-- Isabelle and Thomas W., Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii SCENTED SENSE Dear Heloise: I spray on cologne in my walk-in closet so that the extra fragrance will stay in the closet to make it smell nice instead of dissipating in the air. A friend of mine sprays cotton balls with her favorite perfume and lays them on her shelves. But never spray perfume directly on your clothing, because it will damage the fabric or leave a stain.

-- Connie A., Brunswick, Maine

DEAR ABBY: I am 15 years older than my boyfriend, “Spencer,” and have two kids from a previous marriage. Spencer and I have been living together for the past 10 years.

I planned to have his child, but was involved in an accident and now can no longer have kids. He blames me nearly every day for having “experienced life” while he hasn’t. He wants kids, and mine are mine -not his. He calls me ugly names now and is physically and emotionally abusive.

I love Spencer very much, and I feel deeply hurt. It wasn’t my choice to be infertile, but he truly hates me for it. I get choked and pushed and have bruises the next day. Do I just give up and leave him after so many years of harmony?

This has only gotten extremely bad over the past year. My gut says he’s involved with a girl at work who is giving him bad advice. She’s 12 years younger than he is. I have caught them texting and talking together in our car at his job. Please help me with some advice.

-- LOST SOUL IN OREGON DEAR LOST SOUL: I’ll try. You should have drawn the line the first time Spencer became abusive. For the sake of your children -- not to mention your own safety -- tell him he has to leave. That’s what he’s really trying to do, force you to end what
