Begich refuses to withdraw from race

By James Brooks Juneau Empire

ANCHORAGE — One of Alaska’s largest and most active volcanoes is restless again, prompting scientists to issue an aviation advisory.

Alaska Volcano Observatory scientists increased the threat level of Mount Veniaminof from yellow to orange Tuesday. That color designation indicates that sudden explosions could send ash above 20,000 feet (6,100 meters) and threaten international air planes.

The observatory’s coordinating scientist, David Fee, says the 8,225-foot (2,500-meter) volcano became active Saturday. Fee says small and sparse ash emissions seen rising to the 10,000-foot (3,050-meter) level prompted the threat level change.

The volcano erupted for several months in 2013. Other recent eruptions occurred in 2005 and between 1993 and 1995.

Veniaminof is 480 miles (772 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage on the Alaska Peninsula.

Fee says Cleveland Volcano in the central Aleutian Islands is Alaska’s most active volcano, with the last explosion in May.

Mark Begich is staying in the 2018 general election.

In a brief ceremony Tuesday afternoon, Begich confirmed that Alaskans will choose from three main options for governor in November.

“I’m in the race to win. It’s a three-way race, so get used to it,” he said to the cheers of supporters in his Anchorage campaign office.

The former U.S. Senator, who has been out of politics since his 2014 loss to Republican challenger Dan Sullivan, won the Democratic nomination for governor unopposed. Despite Tuesday’s announcement, he faces major challenges before the Nov. 6 statewide general election.

Democrats are divided about his candidacy, with many preferring the “unity ticket” headlined by incumbent independent Gov. Bill Walker. An August poll commissioned by the AFLCIO found only 51 percent of Democrats prefer Begich in a three-way race.

Walker and Begich are expected to split the votes of Alaska’s moderate and progressive voters, leaving the state’s large conservative voting block to Republican Mike Dunleavy, who now becomes the presumptive

4 dead after crash on Parks Highway near Cantwell

Micciche, Carpenter claim narrow victories

ANCHORAGE — Four people have died following a crash on the Parks Highway near Cantwell.

Alaska State Troopers say those killed in the Monday afternoon crash were 40-yearold Cary Taylor-Bloomquist of Palmer, her 5-year-old daughter Adeline “Addy,” and a Fairbanks couple, 63-year-old Jeffrey Esley and 60-year-old Charlene Esley.

Troopers say TaylorBloomquist was southbound in a Subaru Outback when she veered over the center line and struck two motorcycles.

Taylor-Bloomquist died in the crash, and her critically injured daughter was flown to an Anchorage hospital, where she died.

The Esleys, on one motorcycle, died in the crash. The driver of the other motorcycle, 62-year-old David Fulton of Fairbanks, sustained critical injuries and was flown to Anchorage area hospital.

Fulton’s wife, 50-year-old Heidi Fulton, was driving a pickup truck behind the motorcycles and crashed into the Outback. She was not seriously injured.

Two, too-close-to-call primary races on the central peninsula have come to an end with official election results released by the Alaska Division of Elections Friday afternoon.

For the Senate District O race, incumbent Sen. Peter Micciche won by 57 votes. For House District 29, Ben Carpenter won by 12 votes.

After the Aug. 21 election, the Alaska Division of Elections conducted a 10-day count of absentee and questioned ballots. Last Friday, the Alaska Division of Elections said they needed the holiday weekend to wait for more election materials, the Clarion reported last week.

“While the Division’s goal was to certify (results) this weekend, we are working to

ensure we give every detail the attention it needs to make sure Alaskans can feel fully confident in our final tally of the results,” said State Elections Director Josie Bahnke in the Aug. 31 Alaska Division of Elections release.

The two central peninsula primary races couldn’t be called until all votes were accounted for.

The morning after the primary election, incumbent Sen. Peter Micciche was only nine votes behind Ron Gillham in the Republican primary race for the Senate seat in District O. With no other contenders for the Senate seat, Micciche will be unchallenged in the Nov. 6 general election.

Micciche has been serving in the Alaska State Senate since 2013 and served as the Senate majority leader this legislative session. He was not immedi-

tions to Peter.”

Initial results in House District 29 — which encompasses the northern peninsula, including Nikiski, Hope and Seward — showed Republican candidate Wayne Ogle of Nikiski leading by only three votes over Ben Carpenter, also of Nikiski. Carpenter and Democratic nominee, Shawn Butler of Hope, will vie to fill the seat of Mike Chenault — who was House Speaker for eight years — in November’s general election.

Carpenter said he wanted to thank residents for coming out to vote.

“We’re obviously happy with the results,” he said. “Now we begin the task of communicating the message of our conservative values.”

Carpenter said he hopes to balance the budget, improve seSee TALLY, page A2

Whether patient or visitor, those walking through the doors of Central Peninsula Hospital can count on one thing — a smile from someone seated at a greeting desk.

“When we’re at the desk we’re pretty much the first faces they see when they walk into the doors,” volunteer Suzette Baty said. “And so just greeting them with the ‘hello’ or ‘good morning’ or a smile or any assistance that can help them, it just makes their day a little easier and maybe brighter.”

Baty, who has been donating her time to the hospital for about three years, works the hospital’s greeting desk, fills coffee and tea stations, and does special projects like giving tours to children. She is one

ry work as greeters, run the gift shop, help stock coffee and tea stations, provide toys or books to children, visit residents and or keep patients company by playing a game of cards, or simply take the time to have a conversation.

“A lot of them will come to the desk and they’ll stand there for a little while and we’ll just talk,” volunteer Donna Franzmann said.

Franzmann, who began volunteering one day a week at the information desk in April, said she joined Auxiliary ranks because she had the time, and “I just like to make people smile.”

She enjoys the opportunity to meet new people and interact with the community.

“A lot of times the same patients come in — once a week — and you just kind of get to know them, and make them feel

comfortable,” she said.

Altogether Auxiliary volunteers donate about 20,000 hours to the hospital. By comparison, a single person working 40 hours a week accumulate approximately 2,000 hours per year.

Eve Thompson, who handles purchasing at the gift shop, has logged more than 10,000 hours in the 15 years she’s worked as a volunteer at the hospital.

Thompson got involved at a time she was struggling with her own health.

“Years ago, I was in a lot of pain from a missed surgery,” she said. “And I would get depressed and I was in pain all the time. And there were times I wouldn’t even leave my house.

Tiny Alaska village experiences boom in polar bear tourism JUNEAU (AP) — A tiny Alaska Native village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on diminishing Arctic sea ice.

More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik on the Beaufort Sea last year to see polar bears in the wild, Alaska’s Energy Desk reported Monday.

The far north community is located on north shore of Barter Island on the Beaufort Sea coast in an area where rapid global warming has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat of polar bears. As ice has receded to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.

The village had less than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

“Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year,” Reed said.

Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but residents started noticing a change in the mid-1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making dens

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of increasing numbers of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s, Reed said. As more attention was given to the plight of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists stated heading to Kaktovik.

Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is the farthest away from the shore.

Some bears become stranded

The fall is also when residents of Kaktovik kill three bowhead whales. Bruce Inglangasak, an Inupiaq subsistence hunter who offers wildlife viewing tours, said residents were unsure how tourists would react to whaling.

“The community was scared about, you know, activists that was going to try to get us to shut down the whaling — sub-

sistence whaling,” Inglangasak said. “But that’s not true.”

Inglangasak said he’s been offering polar bear tours since2003 or 2004.

Most of his clients are from China and Europe, as well as from the Lower 48 U.S. states and arrive in Katovik on charter planes from Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels, Inglangasak said.

Obituaries Betty Dianne Chadwick Soldotna area resident, Betty Dianne Chadwick, 73, passed away Friday, Aug. 31, 2018 at home with her husband by her side.

A private family service will be held.

Betty was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Her family wrote, “Betty was born in Moscow, Idaho and raised in southern California. She graduated from Monte Vista High School with honors in 1962, and later that year married her sweetheart Bruce Chadwick on September 1st by the backyard pool of her parent’s home in Spring Valley, California. They moved to Anchorage in 1971 where they raised their two children Jonathan and Margie. They later retired to permanently reside on their riverfront property in Soldotna, alongside their close family friends of 40 years, Dean and Lorna Corder. Betty was an avid reader, enjoyed puzzles, theatrical plays, the performing arts and music. She demonstrated her love and advocation of family and children through the support she provided to her church community, and through her Alaska, Humana and Alaska Regional Hospital Auxiliary volunteer work. She especially enjoyed being able to attend cesarean birth procedures in the delivery room and providing expectant fathers with some reassuring guidance and support during their baby’s birth. She served two terms as president of the Hospital Auxiliary as well. Betty was a kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend and will be missed by many.�

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bob and Margie Bottini; mother-in-law, Nola Williams; infant sister, Margie Elaine Bottini; and father-in-law, Barratt Chadwick.

kota. He was the first of three children born to Theodore and Gladis Sadler, Sr. He was born and raised on the family farm until he met his life partner of 70 years, Jeanie Sadler. He then took up construction work and worked in many of the lower 48 states. Upon hearing of the 1964 Alaska earthquake, he headed up the Alcan Highway to help rebuild Anchorage. Once in Alaska, he became an oil explorer on the North Slope and on the west side of the Inlet.

In 1973, they moved to Kenai and took to commercial fishing, an occupation he dearly loved for 31 years. There was something about being your own boss and pitting yourself against the water, fish and tides. When he retired from fishing, he invested in the community by volunteering at the Peninsula Food Bank from 2005 to 2008. After his wife passed, he joined the Kenai Senior Center bell ringers. He enjoyed going with the group to places on the peninsula to ring bells and cheer up residents. He liked meeting people and telling his stories. He loved life and fought to make it last as long as he could. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Ted Sadler was preceded in death by his wife, siblings and parents. He is survived by five of his children: Sandra Traxinger of Nikiski; Jerry Sadler and Randy Sadler of Soldotna; Gail Allen of Anchorage; and Barb Kraxberger of Spokane, Washington; as well as eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

What Others Say

Forest service must tackle growing air quality problems from forest fires Americans have looked down our

noses at the Chinese, whose dirty air we’ve seen on television — dreary gray and brown, shrouding ugly streets in a kind of sickly twilight. How disheartening it is to find ourselves dealing with such ugly air here in the Pacific Northwest this August.

Forest-fire smoke surrounds us. As the National Weather Service maps have clearly shown, Umatilla and Morrow counties are the edge of the dustpan, where smoke from fires in British Columbia and elsewhere in the Northwest collects and sticks.

As a result of fires, air-quality monitoring systems in the two states have classified conditions as unhealthy across many thousands of square miles of the Pacific Northwest. This comes with warnings about limiting the amount of time spent outdoors and curbing physical activities that might cause us to breathe in more smoke.

It’s a little like being stuck in a smoky tavern with no exit — although diluted forest fire chemicals aren’t as injurious as tobacco smoke, thankfully.

It’s possible our region hasn’t suffered such persistently bad air — especially in non-urban areas — since the catastrophic Oregon North Coast burns of the 1930s and 1940s, during which much of the Coast Range went up in smoke.

Aside from being grateful for clean-air rules that began curbing industrial air pollution in the 1970s, what should be our response to forest fires and the smoke they cause?

If the past several years are anything to go by, developing better strategies will become vital as our continent’s climate changes. And although it’s safe to say that almost everyone is against smoke, dealing with underlying issues will be extremely tricky.

It rushes us headlong into controversies over forest thinning, timber harvests, under-story maintenance, controlled burns and how (or even whether) to regulate residential building within the Pacific Northwest’s forest interface. All these subjects have evoked expensive lawsuits and destructive political battles. To say that there is little trust would be an understatement. Circumstances may force the combatants to overcome these differences, or at least spur less-polarized middle-of-the-road citizens to begin mandating smarter decisions.

So when it comes to avoiding dangerously destructive forest fires and the harms they create, what might smarter management look like?

Many solutions are likely to entail seeking and following the advice of professional forest managers, rather than either acquiescing to decisions forced by environmental lawsuits on the one hand, or back-room industry manipulations on the other. Forest policies should be made on a time scale of multiple decades or centuries, and not change with presidential administrations. Neither the environment nor industry are well-served by a tangled-up political mess in which strategic decisions are so hard to make and stick with.

Foresters aren’t guaranteed to agree with one another, of course. While there was disagreement within the agency, National Forest Service policies notoriously favored harvest over all other options during much of the 20th century. The same was true of state forestry agencies in the Pacific Northwest. Only with generational change in personnel was there a gradual shift to more balance between harvest, thinning, conservation and other options.

Moving forward in the 21st century, we should insist on carefully designed consensus-based management groups, with mechanisms to protect against political and judicial manipulation.

The answers won’t be easy to find or accept. Additional harvest is likely in many cases to be the most affordable way to control fire risk, while providing a useful economic boost to rural areas. Thinning will be more environmentally palatable in other places, but tends to be expensive. Prescribed burns — never popular — will sometimes be the right way to go.

We in the Northwest don’t want to have to get used to having dangerous air. Nobody should have to become good at wearing filtration masks, or interpreting airquality warnings. We must get ahead of the fires before they get ahead of us.

Trump and the art of whining

For those who practice resentment politics, like Donald Trump, a day without whining is like a day without sunshine.

Never mind that it’s like a day without spray tan, and never mind that Trump doesn’t practice resentment politics, he’s mastered it. He displays his crass act constantly, even on a day that world and national leaders were involved in the extended burial of John McCain. A fuming President Trump, sulking on a golf course because he wasn’t invited, couldn’t take a break, couldn’t even bury the hatchet for an instant. By the way, I’ve figured out why Trump owns so many golf courses.

It’s the only way he’d be accepted for membership. Not that joining a country club is such a big deal. All you have to do is have a ton of money and, until recently, be white. But I digress …

There he was stroking, putting, cheating and doing all that stuff that golfers do, multitasking the entire time. He was driving his usual barrage of tweets down the unfairway, appropriately addressing his customary wedge issues. It’s just par for the course, his link (OK, enough with the stupid golf jokes) with his millions of supporters, demonstrating, as he incessantly does, that he shares their bitterness.

He’s pulled that off so well that his adoring followers think he’s one of them, even though he personifies the grossly rich guy who lives in opulent splendor while many

of them are frightened by their precarious financial situations and their struggle to keep a roof over their heads.

He accomplishes his feat by touching their primal fears that they’re being left behind in a scary world Bob Franken full of predators, particularly those of color. Plus, he bamboozles them with his interminable lies and half-truths. On their TVs, they saw the Washington establishment, so hated by Donald Trump worshippers, gathered at National Cathedral memorial services for McCain. Daughter Meghan McCain was particularly notable as she implicitly attacked the uninvited one, saying, “The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again, because America was always great.”

Juxtapose that in your mind’s eye with POTUS furtively pecking away on his smartphone, defiantly responding on Twitter, in all caps, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” He then fired, as he always does, at his usual targets: the FBI and Justice Department, the fake news media, Canada, the typical stuff that stokes the outrage of his 54 million devotees, although in fairness, it should be noted that a huge chunk

of those followers include us fake news types, who hang on every word of the man who has the power to do such damage with his carelessness, ignorance and downright ugliness..

His hold over those who would normally be appalled by him is amazing.

I’m talking about the opportunistic evangelical leaders who choose to ignore what they normally would regard as evil conduct in order to sop up the favors this president can lavish on them. They didn’t bat an eye when he got downright apocalyptic at a recent private White House dinner, warning of a Democratic takeover in Congress: “They will overturn everything that we’ve done, and they’ll do it quickly and violently, and violently.”

As an aside, Bette Midler — yeah, that Bette Midler, the singer — had a wonderful response with a tweet of her own: “Now Trump’s saying Democrats are going to be ‘violent’ if they win big in November? What are we going to do?

Throw our PBS tote bags at them?”

That’s funny, but no laughing matter, because the various Trump opponents do little else but whine in opposition. That accomplishes very little, because until they get off their duffs on Election Day and vote (with or without their tote bags), their whine can be dismissed as nothing more than sour grapes.

Kaepernick’s Nike deal prompts flurry of debate

By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

An endorsement deal between Nike and Colin Kaepernick prompted a flood of debate Tuesday as sports fans reacted to the apparel giant backing an athlete known mainly for starting a wave of protests among NFL players of police brutality, racial inequality and other social issues.

The deal unveiled by Nike and the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was a trending topic on Twitter and other social networks, with some fans urging a boycott of the company’s clothes and sneakers — even burning and cutting out the signature swoosh logos on their gear.

Others pushed back, saying the backlash against Nike showed the polarizing debate has morphed well beyond whether NFL players should be allowed to demonstrate for social causes while the national anthem plays in stadiums before games.

The league itself weighed in Tuesday afternoon with an executive saying the social issues Kaepernick has raised are valid.

“We embrace the role and responsibility of everyone involved with this game to promote meaningful, positive change in our communities,” said Jocelyn Moore, the NFL’s executive vice president of communications and public affairs. “The social justice issues that Colin and other professional athletes have raised deserve our attention and action.”

Moore’s statement was paired with a detailed breakdown of things players and league executives have done together to learn about and address social issues, including community meetings, lobbying and financially supporting local programs.

On Twitter, country music star John Rich posted a picture of one of his crew members holding the tops of a cut pair of Nike socks, with the caption: “Get ready @Nike multiply that by the millions.” The tweet garnered about 10,000 retweets and 30,000 likes, plus thousands of critical comments.

Rich, part of the duo Big & Rich and a former contestant of President Donald Trump’s reality show “The Celebrity Apprentice,” said he supported the right to protest but Nike lost his support when it endorsed Kaepernick.

Mixed martial arts fighter Elias Theodorou, a UFC middleweight, tweeted a widely shared picture of the Nike logo with a meme that read: “Instead of throwing away your Nike gear give to one of the millions of homeless veterans you pretend to care about.”

Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins said: “I hope other corporations follow (Nike’s) example.”

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman, tweeted: “Proud to be an @ usnikefootball athlete. Stand for something or fall for anything. Few moments in history has that been more true!”

Trump, a frequent critic of protesting NFL players, said Tuesday in an interview with the Daily Caller that he thinks it’s a “terrible message” for Nike to use Kaepernick in ads, but that it’s their decision whether to use the quarterback.

“I think it’s a terrible message that they’re sending and the purpose of them doing it, maybe there’s a reason for them doing it,” Trump said, adding it’s “a message that shouldn’t be sent.”

Trump said it’s ultimately a business decision for Nike.

“In another way, it is what this country is all about, that you have certain freedoms to do things that other people think you shouldn’t do, but I personally am on a different side of it,” he said.

Trump has loudly urged the league to suspend or fire players who demonstrate during the anthem, repeatedly diving into what has developed into one of the most contentious debates in sports.

Kaepernick already had a deal with Nike that was set to expire, but it was renegotiated into a multiyear deal to make him one of the faces of Nike’s 30th anniversary “Just Do It” campaign, according to a per-

son familiar with the contract. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because Nike hasn’t officially announced the contract.

The person said Nike will feature Kaepernick on several platforms, including billboards, television commercials and online ads. Nike also will create an apparel line for Kaepernick, including a signature shoe, and contribute to his Know Your Rights charity, the person said. The deal puts Kaepernick in the top bracket of NFL players with Nike.

“I stand for anybody that believes in change. I stand for anybody that believes in a positive attitude,” LeBron James said Tuesday night at a Nike fashion show and awards ceremony in New York. “I stand with Nike, every day, all day.”

Nike also provides all NFL teams with game day uniforms and sideline apparel, a partnership that was extended in March to run through 2028.

Last week, Kaepernick scored a legal victory in his grievance against the NFL and its 32 teams when an arbitrator allowed his case to continue to trial. The quarterback claims that owners conspired to keep him out of the league because of his protests. His case hinges on whether owners worked together rather than decided individually to not sign Kaepernick.

A similar grievance is still pending by former 49ers teammate Eric Reid, a Pro Bowl safety who joined in the protests.

Meanwhile, the league and players union still haven’t resolved whether players will be punished this season if they choose to kneel or demonstrate during the national anthem. Owners approved a policy requiring players to stand if they are on the sideline during “The Star-Spangled Banner,” allowing them to stay off the field if they wish.

But the league and union put that on hold after the Miami Dolphins faced backlash for classifying the protests as conduct potentially detrimental to the team — putting players at risk of fines or suspensions.

Nation/World Democrats seize on Kavanaugh Senate hearings

By KEN THOMAS Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Spoiling for a fight, some Democratic senators weighing 2020 presidential campaigns seized upon the opening moments of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation hearings on Tuesday in a show of force aimed at countering President Donald Trump.

One by one, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, including Kamala Harris of California, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Cory Booker of New Jersey, demanded that Republicans delay Kavanaugh’s hearing after a last-minute release of more than 40,000 pages of documents and the withholding of more than 100,000 more.

The Democrats’ coordinated showdown with the committee’s chairman, Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, served as a theatrical preview of what is expected to be a wild, unpredictable 2020 campaign against Trump, who has stoked outrage among Democratic activists and is expected to fuel an unusually large field of challengers.

The hearing showed the degree to which the Senate could be the testing ground of resistance among Democrats who are prepared to fight the Republican president’s agenda in a field without an obvious frontrunner. And it harkened back to how Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other Democratic senators battled President George W. Bush’s administration before launching presidential bids of their own in the 2008 contest.

Grassley hadn’t even introduced Kavanaugh by name when Harris interjected, objecting to the late Monday night release of Kavanaugh’s documents. Harris has created a number of viral moments with her tough questioning of witnesses during her first term and quickly noted lawmakers hadn’t had a chance to “review or read or analyze” the papers.

“You’re out of order. I’ll proceed,” Grassley responded, banging his gavel.

Said Harris: “We cannot possibly move forward, Mr. Chairman, with this hearing.”

called for the hearing to be postponed as the two senators attempted to talk over each other. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., jumped in, asking that the hearing be adjourned, prompting loud cheers and applause in the room.

Kavanaugh, a veteran judge and a former aide to Bush, sat silently as the spectacle unfolded.

Booker then appealed to Grassley’s “sense of decency and integrity,” pushing for more transparency in the hearing.

“We are rushing through this process in a way that is unnecessary,” Booker said.

The three Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are considering whether to enter the presidential campaign following the November midterm elections along with other Senate Democrats not on the panel, such as Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Jeff Merkley of Oregon.

Former US Sen. Jon Kyl to replace John McCain

By MELISSA DANIELS Associated Press

PHOENIX — Prolonging the uncertainty over who will fill the late John McCain’s U.S. Senate seat, the governor of Arizona on Tuesday announced the appointment of former Sen. Jon Kyl but said he has only committed to serve until the end of the year.

“It’s my hope that he serves longer.” Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, said as he announced the pick at the Arizona Capitol. He said Kyl was “the best possible person, regardless of politics.”

Kyl, a Republican who retired from the Senate in 2012 to spend more time with his family, is currently shepherding Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. Kyl’s appointment will make it possible for him to vote for the nomination.

But it’s unclear what more Kyl, 76, will do in Washington.

He said he agreed to serve briefly out of a “sense of duty” and will not run for the seat in 2020, when Arizona voters will have their first decision on who fills the remainder of McCain’s seat through 2022. The seat will then be up again for a full six-year term.

If Kyl does not serve after the end of the current congres-

sional term on Jan. 3, 2019, Arizona’s governor can appoint another senator for the remaining year. By state law the senator will have to be a member of the same party as the departing one, in this case the GOP. For now, Kyl will pad Republicans’ margin in the narrowly divided Senate. They hold a 51-49 majority but that dwindled to a single vote while McCain stayed in Arizona for much of this year being treated for the brain cancer that killed him on Aug. 25.

The GOP is hoping Kyl will be a more reliable partisan vote than McCain, whose opposition to a partial repeal of President Obama’s health care law pitched the party into turmoil last year.

Kyl is well-respected in Arizona and has been able to avoid many of the battles with activists that complicated McCain’s career and that of the state’s other senator, Jeff Flake, who is retiring because his feud with Trump made his re-election impossible.

Kyl’s entire career in Washington overlapped with McCain’s and he served with the state’s senior senator for three terms before stepping down.

Kyl carved out a profile as a reliable conservative vote and a foreign policy expert.

McCain’s widow, Cindy, tweeted: “Jon Kyl is a dear friend of mine and John’s. It’s a great tribute to John that he is prepared to go back into public service to help the state of Arizona.”

Doug Cole, a veteran Republican consultant and former McCain aide, said Kyl was a good, safe pick.

“I think McCain would be very happy with the pick. Honors his legacy while putting some major horsepower for Arizona in the seat, at least for now,” he said.

Filling McCain’s seat marks a turning point in Arizona political history. That seat in particular has been held by two men who were heralded as

giants of the Senate: McCain took the seat once held by Sen. Barry Goldwater after he had served in the House of Representatives.

The choice will also have political consequences for Ducey. He’s up for re-election this November against Democratic challenger David Garcia.

For Republican voters who are on the fence about Ducey, a choice they dislike could cause them to withdraw their support for the incumbent or stay home on Election Day. McCain’s office said an estimated 15,000 people came to see the late senator as he lay in state in the Arizona state Capitol for a public viewing several days after his death.

Fragments found in museum fire provide some hope

By MARCELO SILVA DE SOUSA and MAURICIO SAVARESE Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — Firefighters found bone fragments from a collection in the stillsmoldering National Museum, an official said Tuesday, raising hopes that a famed skull might somehow have survived a massive blaze that turned historic and scientific artifacts to ashes.

Flames tore through the museum Sunday night, and officials have said much of Latin America’s largest collection of treasures might be lost. Aerial photos of main building showed only heaps of rubble and ashes in the parts of the building where the roof collapsed.

The firefighters “found fragments of bones in a room where

the museum kept many items, including skulls,” said Cristiana Serejo, the museum’s vice director. “We still have to collect them and take them to the lab to know exactly what they are.”

In its collection of about 20 million items, one of the most prized possessions is a skull called Luzia, which is among the oldest fossils ever found in the Americas.

Museum spokesman Marcio Martins noted that the collection contains hundreds of skulls, and all material would first need to be examined by the Federal Police, who are investigating the still-unknown cause of the fire. Experts will then examine them to determine their identity.

Many have already said that regardless of what is salvaged,

Investigators were first allowed to enter the main building Monday, but it is still offlimits to researchers. Instead, some scientists were focusing attention on an annex on the site, where vertebrate specimens were housed. The fire didn’t reach the area, but it caused the electricity to fail, threatening some artifacts, said Marcelo Wexler, a researcher in the vertebrate department.

“We have animals that need to be frozen, and they were rotting without electricity,” Wexler said.

the loss will be immeasurable.

Marina Silva, a candidate for president in upcoming elections, called it a “lobotomy of Brazilian history.”

The Globo newspaper wrote in an editorial published Tuesday: “The size of the catastrophe is vast: It struck the national memory, through the loss of the important historical collection; it affected the sciences, interrupting research; and it represents a cultural loss impossible to quantify.

We only know that it is enormous.”

AUSTIN, Texas — If elections were decided by viral videos and fawning media profiles, Democrat Beto O’Rourke would win Texas’ Senate race in a landslide.

Video of the candidate defending NFL players’ right to protest during the national anthem had been viewed by millions even before NBA star LeBron James called it a “mustwatch.” Another of O’Rourke, a three-term congressman, cruising through a Whataburger parking lot on a skateboard is almost as popular, increasing the onetime punk rocker’s already considerable street cred.

National magazines are suggesting he could be a Democratic vice-presidential pick in 2020 — or even a White House contender, a la a young Barack Obama. Sure, O’Rourke may lose to incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, the argument goes, but just staying competitive in Texas, which hasn’t elected a Democrat to statewide office in nearly a quarter century, would still further boost his political star.

The White House is taking notice. President Donald Trump tweeted that he plans to stage “a major rally” for Cruz in October. Help from the president was long unthinkable in a race that for months looked like a Cruz cakewalk.

The hype machine powering O’Rourke has brought in piles of campaign cash and generated excitement nationally. But it also risks eventual backlash. Voters have often punished candidates for getting too big for their political britches — especially if they haven’t won anything yet.

O’Rourke need only look to his opponent for an example of a politician whose ambitions irked voters he needed.

Still, the Democrat seems eager to test a Trump-era theory that, with such an outsized personality in the White House, voters may no longer want their politicians to stay humble.

O’Rourke has largely welcomed the spotlight. His stance on anthem protests landed him an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ TV show this week. O’Rourke also hasn’t disavowed descriptions of himself as “Kennedy-esque,” given his boyish good looks. He livestreams constantly and, in March, when he appeared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the crowd in Los Angeles cheered so much that the host crowed, “It’s like when the Beatles came to America.”

“You can’t control it,” O’Rourke spokesman Chris Evans said of the attention. He disputed the idea that national praise could hurt back home, saying it’s “hard to say we’re not focused on Texas” since O’Rourke just spent 34 days of the congressional summer recess campaigning without leaving the state.

O’Rourke himself has shrugged off questions about whether too much attention could create unrealistic expectations. “The whole thing is not something he’s talked about, really,” Evans said.

Some Texans think the campaign might want to, though.

“Most voters in Texas still don’t know who Beto O’Rourke is. If the first thing they know about him is he’s like Obama, then that’s going to turn off more voters than it attracts,” said Brandon Rottinghaus, a political science professor at the University of Houston. ­— The Associated Press

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Sept. 5, the 248th day of 2018. There are 117 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On Sept. 5, 1972, the Palestinian group Black September attacked the Israeli Olympic delegation at the Munich Games; 11 Israelis, five guerrillas and a police officer were killed in the resulting siege.

On this date: In 1698, Russia’s Peter the Great imposed a tax on beards.

In 1774, the first Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia.

In 1882, the nation’s first Labor Day was celebrated with a parade in New York. (Although Labor Day now takes place on the first Monday of September, this first celebration occurred on a Tuesday.)

In 1939, four days after war had broken out in Europe, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a proclamation declaring U.S. neutrality in the conflict.

In 1945, Japanese-American Iva Toguri D’Aquino, suspected of being wartime broadcaster “Tokyo Rose,” was arrested in Yokohama. (D’Aquino was later convicted of treason and served six years in prison; she was pardoned in 1977 by President Gerald R. Ford.)

In 1960, at the Rome Olympics, American boxer Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) defeated Zbigniew Pietrzykowski (zuh-BIG’-nee-ehf peeeht-chah-KAHF’-skee) of Poland to win the light-heavyweight gold medal; Wilma Rudolph of the United States won the second of her three gold medals with the 200-meter sprint.

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed legislation making aircraft hijackings a federal crime.

In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford escaped an attempt on his life by Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a disciple of Charles Manson, in Sacramento, California.

In 1986, four hijackers who had seized a Pan Am jumbo jet on the ground in Karachi, Pakistan, opened fire when the lights inside the plane failed; a total of 20 people were killed before Pakistani commandos stormed the jetliner.

In 1997, breaking the royal reticence over the death of Princess Diana, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II delivered a televised address in which she called her former daughter-in-law “a remarkable person.” Mother Teresa died in Calcutta, India, at age 87; conductor Sir Georg Solti (johrj SHOL’tee) died in France at age 84.

In 2002, Afghan President Hamid Karzai (HAH’-mihd KAHR’-zy) survived an assassination attempt in Kandahar, hours after an explosivespacked car tore through a Kabul market.

In 2005, President George W. Bush nominated John Roberts to succeed the late William Rehnquist as chief justice of the United States.

An Indonesian jetliner crashed, killing 149 people, including 49 on the ground; 17 passengers survived.

Ten years ago: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice became the highest-ranking American official in half a century to visit Libya, where she met Moammar Gadhafi. Europe’s Rosetta space probe flew by the Steins asteroid 250 million miles from Earth. Publishing giant Robert Giroux, who’d guided and supported dozens of great writers from T.S. Eliot and Jack Kerouac to Bernard Malamud and Susan Sontag, died in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, at age 94.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama, in St. Petersburg for a G-20 summit, pressed fellow world leaders to support a U.S. strike on Syria; however, he encountered opposition from Russia, China and even the European Union, who said it was too soon for military action.

One year ago: President Donald Trump announced that he was phasing out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program protecting young immigrants who were brought to the country illegally, but said he was giving Congress six months to come up with an alternative; he later tweeted that if Congress couldn’t do so, he would “revisit” the issue. Hurricane Irma strengthened to a Category 5 storm as it approached the northeast Caribbean on a path toward the United States.

that’s probably perfect of you.”

She first began volunteering at the records room in the hospital. Although it was a small, windowless room, the work kept Thompson busy.

“At least I could get up, get dressed, and leave my house,” she said.

Volunteers working at the gift shop would sometimes consult her when they had problems with the cash register or other merchandising issues, and she eventually transitioned into a position there.

“And I found out when I’m in the gift shop, I don’t have to think about pain,” she said. “I was living again. Even though there was pain there, I was able to punch in and live like a human being.”

Thompson has taken on more and more responsibilities over the years, manning the counter, handling invoices, helping with the shop’s expansion, and eventually began purchasing for the shop. She handpicks items and sells in small quantities — and tries to avoid knick-knacks and throwaway items.

“I never put anything in the gift shop that I myself would not use or buy,” she said.

Thompson said she gets satisfaction out of knowing that visitors to the hospital can find the items they need.

“I like people to come in and when they walk out to feel like they’ve had good service and that they’ve got a good product,” she said. “For me personally, it just helps me.”

Volunteers can provide much-needed emotional support as patients and families struggle with illness.

Police reports n On Aug. 26 at about 12:10 a.m., Kenai police responded to a local business to a report of a woman who appeared to be passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle. The officer contacted the woman, Vanessa A. Emery, 30, of Anchor Point. After investigation, Emery was arrested for driving under the influence and taken to Wildwood Pretrial. n On Aug. 25 at 2:54 a.m., Kenai police conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle with no lights on in Old Town. Officer contacted the driver and, after investigation, John E. Vandeventer, 24, of Chugiak, was arrested for driving under the influence and taken to Wildwood Pretrial. n On Aug. 24 at 12:26 p.m., Kenai police had contact with a wanted person in the Kenai area. As a result, Diana P. Westover, 39, of Kenai, was arrested on a $50 Soldotna Alaska State Troopers warrant for two counts of failure to appear on original charges of fourth-degree theft and seconddegree trespass. While en route to Wildwood Pretrial, Westover tried to escape the patrol vehicle and bent the frame on the window. As a result of those actions, Westover received an additional charge of fourth-degree criminal mischief.

therapy for seven years. The two volunteered at a hospital in Anchorage for five years, and have provided support for incarcerated youths and those suffering homelessness.

“Primarily therapy dogs are for comfort care. People in hospitals are in pain — suffering, depressed, homesick, missing their dogs, missing their homes — at the very least we hope to lighten and brighten their day for a few minutes,” Kress said.

“Sometimes people feel better just looking at them, kind of like you would at looking at a beautiful bouquet of flowers or your Christmas tree at night all it up.”

Not every dog can be a therapy dog. They need to be “unflappable,” Kress said, able to deal with loud noises, unexpected objects, not pull on the leash and obey commands.

Kody fits the bill, Dress said.

“He’s really just a sweet, kind, gentle dog,” Kress said.

Kody has been there for people struggling with a number of challenging situations — patients recovering from trauma, those suffering from dementia, those undergoing treatment for long-term illnesses, and even those who have exhausted their medical options.

Kress remembers one particular incident where a man who asked Kody to be present during a tough conversation with his doctor, who told him they had tried and failed, to find a way to treat his terminal illness.

“And the doctor left and we were quiet for several minutes,” Kress remembers. “And he said, ‘Thank you for being here. I wanted to have this conversation with the doctor, but not with my family present.

And I thought I was going to have to do it alone. But instead, you and Kody were here.’”

Kress said the therapy dog program is rewarding not only for patients, but for herself.

“People often thank me and I tell them it’s a privilege to spend time with you and share

my dog with you. And I’m happy, happy to do it.”

Formed in 1967 to help the hospital during its construction phase, the hospital’s Auxiliary has grown and changed over the years. Originally volunteers were tasked with things the hospital needed to get up and running — landscaping, plumbing, sewing and painting — and launched fundraising efforts through bazaars and yard sales. By 1972 the Auxiliary expanded its operations to include adult volunteers dubbed “pink ladies” and junior “candy stripers.” The Auxiliary also opened a gift case and began its scholarship program. It wasn’t until 30 years late — in 2003 — that the nonprofit opened a volunteer-run gift shop near the hospital’s back door.

Dave Lowery, who served 26 years in the U.S. Army and 17 years in civil service, was one of four people who helped kick start the Auxiliary volunteer program about 15 years ago.

Lowery had surgery at a trauma center in Seattle — and had been impressed with the care.

“I said I want to give back, and I want to give back to our own hospital,” Lowery said.

At the time, however, the Auxiliary’s volunteer program was lagging — and the organization’s efforts were limited to running a gift shop and providing scholarships, Lowery said.

As he looked for ways to resuscitate the auxiliary, Lowery noticed a lack of morale among hospital staff. He reached out to the hospital’s then-CEO David Gilbreath, in an effort to shore up the volunteer ranks.

“We were looking for additional volunteers, and I said to Mr. Gilbreath, ‘Dave, the morale in this place is terrible.’”

Lowery suggested the Auxiliary create something akin to the Walmart greeter program, with volunteers offering a welcome and smile to patients and staff at the entrance.

After a community outreach

effort by the two men and their wives, the Auxiliary had gotten enough volunteers to staff a greeting desk eight hours a day.

“It took almost three weeks for people to start responding back to us,” he said. “It was almost like a foggy day. The morale started to lift and fog started to clear.”

Today, greeters staff desks at the hospital entrances eight hours a day, and don’t just provide a smile, but help anticipate patients’ needs as they enter the hospital — for example, preparing wheelchairs for those who need one, Lowery said.

Lowery, who served on the board of the auxiliary for several years, remains a volunteer to this day — he and his wife are at the information desk every Tuesday morning.

“It makes me feel very good — it makes me feel great,” Lowery said. “I think we have one of the finest medical facilities in the United States.

We have a medical facility that

people don’t just look forward to coming to, but actually enjoy their time there.”

He encouraged others to join the ranks of volunteers as a way to give back to the community.

“It’s not like you’re giving to the hospital. You’re giving it to the community, you’re servicing the people coming in there.”

Five decades into its existence, however, the Auxiliary is seeing its volunteer ranks dwindle, Jim Childers, volunteer and community services manager for CPH, said.

Childers, who works as the liaison between the hospital and the auxiliary, said the Auxiliary has often relied on retirees, who typically have more time to spare.

“I think that what you’re seeing now, people aren’t retiring because they’re working … to older ages,” Childers said.

The average age of a volunteer is 59, although volunteers

as young as 14 and as old as 93 offer their services, he said.

Childers has been trying to get the word out about the volunteer program through outreach programs with schools, churches and community organizations, as well as at public events like the Fourth of July and Progress Days parades.

The Auxiliary needs about 40 volunteers a week, Childers said. Volunteers have to fill out an application, undergo a background check and attend an orientation in order to participate in the program.

Childers encourages those looking for a way to interact with others and contribute to the community to consider volunteering.

“You know you’re helping people — helping others — and that’s the type of person we’re really looking for,” he said.

et between Walker and Byron Mallott, who switched from the Democratic gubernatorial candidate to Walker’s lieutenant governor.

In his Anchorage speech, Begich pledged to be “steadfast standing against the Trump Administration” and urged Alaskans to vote for what they want rather than trying to be strategic.

“We need your help, we need your volunteer time, we

need your money,” he said.

“We’ve got 63 days. We need to make it happen; you will make it happen.

All three major-party gubernatorial candidates will appear in Juneau this week for fundraisers and the Juneau Chamber of Commerce gubernatorial forum.

While Begich did not quit before Tuesday’s 5 p.m. deadline for withdrawal from the election, a handful of state House

candidates have dropped out.

According to the Alaska Division of Elections, Ketchikan independent incumbent Dan Ortiz now faces just one challenger in the general election.

Democrat Ghert Abbott withdrew after winning the Democratic primary for House District 36.

Ortiz was a member of the Democratic-led coalition House Majority during the most recent Legislature. He

now faces Republican Trevor Shaw in the general election.

In House District 31, Andy Cizek and Greg Madden of Soldotna have withdrawn from the general election, leaving Republican Sarah Vance to challenge independent candidate Paul Seaton.

Seaton, the incumbent, is a longtime Republican, but he switched to a nonpartisan campaign after the Alaska Republican Party withdrew all sup-

port for him in retaliation for his move to join the coalition House Majority.

In House District 29, independent Shawn Butler, winner of the Democratic primary, has withdrawn, meaning the winner of the Republican primary there will face no opposition in the general election. That primary remains unresolved, as Ben Carpenter leads Wayne Ogle by 12 votes, but a recount is expected this week.

n On Aug. 24 at 7:43 p.m., Kenai police received a report about a possible wanted person in a local store. Officers responded to the store and found possible suspect and confirmed the wanted status.

Williams moves on to semis over Pliskova 23-time major champ to meet Sevastova in semis, Nadal prevails over Thiem in marathon men’s quarterfinal

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

NEW YORK — Serena Williams began her U.S. Open quarterfinal tentatively. Her shots lacked their usual sting, her attitude its usual conviction.

She was facing the last player she lost to at Flushing Meadows. She kept looking up her coach, as if seeking solutions. After just 20 minutes Tuesday night, Williams was in danger of trailing by two service breaks. Not much later, the outcome was no longer in doubt, because the 23-time Grand Slam champion suddenly was in complete control.

Williams put aside some early shakiness and an early deficit, turning things around with an eight-game run en route to a 6-4, 6-3 victory over No. 8 seed Karolina Pliskova for a spot in

the semifinals. It was Williams’ first win over a top-10 player this season.

“I was playing really not a good game,” said Williams, who was a point from trailing 4-1 and did fall behind 4-2 while making 22 of her 30 unforced errors in the first set. “I was thinking, ‘You know, I can play better.’ So that was the good news.”

Pliskova offered this guess about what was happening to Williams: “Maybe she was a little bit nervous.”

Maybe. But that didn’t last long.

Pliskova is a big server and hitter in her own right, someone who briefly spent time at No. 1 in the WTA rankings and was the runner-up at the U.S. Open in 2016, when she beat Williams in the semifinals. The 36-year-old American did not compete in New York a year ago, because she gave birth to her daughter during the tournament.

Go back to 2015, and that was another semifinal departure for Williams, whose bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam was shockingly ended by Roberta Vinci.

“Well, I want to just be able to get past the semis here. It’s been a few, couple, rough semis for me,” Williams said. “But regardless, this has been a great road.”

This time, Williams’ semifinal opponent will be No. 19 seed Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia, who surprisingly beat defending champion Sloane Stephens 6-2, 6-3 earlier Tuesday.

Stephens, who said she had been dealing with a sinus infection, rued all of her wasted opportunities, most notably the seven break points she failed to convert in the first set. She sure didn’t attempt to hide her frustration, either, repeatedly gesturing toward or

speaking in the direction of her coach, Kamau Murray, up in the stands.

When someone urged her to raise her level in the second set, Stephens replied, “I’m trying!”

“When you don’t play big points well, the match can get away from you,” Stephens said. “I think that’s what happened today. I didn’t convert.”

Sevastova, who retired in 2013 because of injuries and returned nearly two years later, advanced to her first Slam semifinal.

“Still long way to go, I think,” she said.

Especially considering that the next step will come against Williams, who’s heading into her 36th semi at a major, 12th at Flushing Meadows.

Williams already proved at Wimbledon that she is capable of the sort of dominant performances she has

shown over the years, making all the way to the final at the All England Club before losing. She’ll hope to do one better now and claim a seventh U.S. Open title.

Her sluggish start against Pliskova came in the same 90-degree heat and 50-percent humidity that hampered John Isner in his quarterfinal loss to Juan Martin del Potro on Tuesday afternoon, and Roger Federer in his fourth-round exit against John Millman a night earlier and prompted the tournament to suspend play in junior matches for a few hours. It also made things tough on No. 1 Rafael Nadal and No. 9 Dominic Thiem during their 4-hour, 49-minute tussle that ended just past 2 a.m. on Wednesday, with Nadal pulling out the 0-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5) victory to return to the semifinals.

Dye leads team at college golf event Staff report Peninsula Clarion

Marian University sophomore Max Dye led the Sabres mens golf team Saturday at the Culver’s Edgewood Fall Classic tournament in Janesville, Wisconsin, with a 36th place finish.

The 2017 Kenai Central graduate, who made a name in prep sports as a tough defender on the KCHS boy soccer team, carded a seven-over 78 on the par-71 course that stretches 6,849 yards, good enough to tie

for 36th out of 114 competitors.

The two-day tournament became a one-day, 18-hole event after rains washed out Sunday’s action.

Dye finished eight shots back of the winner, but tops among his Marian (Wisconsin) teammates, helping the Sabres to a 12th-place team finish out of 20 schools.

One of just two Alaskans currently playing collegiate golf, Dye has secured nine career top 40 finishes in 11 tournaments.

Wood, Mickelson added to US team

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, golf’s most prominent players for more than two decades, never realized the Ryder Cup would mean so much.

For Woods, it’s the culmination of a comeback that began in January after a fourth surgery on his lower back. For Mickelson, more than setting a record by playing his 12th Ryder Cup, the 48-year-old gets what he believes will be his last chance to capture that gold trophy away from home.

U.S. captain Jim Furyk added them to his team Monday evening as wild-card selections, along with Bryson DeChambeau.

Woods agreed to be a vice captain in late February, and he set a goal to be in Paris on Sept.

28-30 as a player.

“It’s incredible, it really is, to look back at the start of the year and now to have accomplished a goal like that,” Woods said. “To be a part of this team, and now to be a player is just ... beyond special.”

Mickelson had qualified for every team since 1995, a streak that ended this year when he finished No. 10 in the standings.

His 12th appearance breaks the Ryder Cup record held by Nick

Faldo.

Mickelson has only been on three winning teams — at Brookline in 1999, Valhalla in 2008 and two years ago at Hazeltine. His last time overseas was at Gleneagles, where he infamously closed out a losing press conference by questioning captain Tom Watson and the direction the PGA of America was taking the U.S. team.

That led to sweeping changes in the U.S. structure, mainly by giving players a stronger voice.

“This is mostly likely my last chance to go over to Europe and to be a part of a winning U.S. team in Europe. We haven’t done that in 25 years,” Mickelson said. “I set out this year on really a strong commitment and journey to get on the team. I got off to a great start this year. It’s been a really good year, and although I fell just shy of making it on points, it feels great to be a part of this team and serve this team in any way I can.”

Furyk still has one more captain’s pick he will announce on Monday after the BMW Championship, and it might not be as easy as this one.

“Not that it was an easy decision,” Furyk said with a smile. “But it could have been a lot more difficult.”

Sox win battle of leading clubs MLB-leading Boston clamps down on East-leading Atlanta

By The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Steve Pearce had three hits and three RBIs, Rick Porcello allowed two hits in five innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the Atlanta Braves 5-1 on Tuesday night for their second straight win in a matchup of division leaders.

Porcello (16-7) gave up one run and struck out five, improving to 10-3 on the road this year. He had been 0-2 in his previous three starts overall since an Aug. 14 win at Philadelphia.

Atlanta pitchers walked nine, including five by starter Sean Newcomb (118), who matched his season high. He allowed three runs and four hits in 4 1/3 innings.

LeBron ‘stands with Nike’ after Kaepernick ad campaign

By JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer

NEW YORK — Clutching his young daughter in his arms, LeBron James said on Tuesday that he ‘stands with Nike,’ a clear reference to the company’s Colin Kaepernick ad campaign.

The basketball superstar — and new Los Angeles Laker — made the remarks as he received an award Tuesday for both his style and his philanthropy from the Harlem’s Fashion Row. The fashion collective partnered with Nike for the New York event, both a fashion show and an awards ceremony which focused on diversity and inclusivity in the fashion world.

The evening culminated in the reveal

of the latest LeBron James Nike basketball shoe: a women’s sneaker designed by three female African-American designers and inspired by strong African-American women.

In emotional remarks, James paid tribute to the three women in his life — his mother, wife and 3-year-old daughter, Zhuri.

He noted how his mother had raised him alone, and given him “a sense of pride, a sense of strength, a sense of no worry.”

“Because of you, Gloria James, I’m able to be in a position today where I can give back and showcase why I believe African-American women are the most powerful women in the world.”

He called his daughter “my rock.”

“People always told me if you ever have a girl, she’ll change you,” James said. “I was like, nobody’s changing me, I’m a man.” But she did, he said.

“Not only did she change me, she’s made me a better person,” James said.

“A more dedicated person, a stronger person, I guess a more sensitive person.”

Closing his remarks, he said he stood “for anybody who believes in change.” He added: “I stand with Nike, all day, every day.”

The new endorsement deal between Nike and Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, launched vigorous debate on Tuesday as some fans expressed displeasure over the apparel giant’s support of a player known for starting a wave of

protests among NFL players against police brutality, racial inequality and other social issues.

Some angry fans were even burning and cutting out the signature swoosh logos on their gear — and posting the results on social media.

But Kaepernick and his Nike campaign, which marks the 30th anniversary of Nike’s “Just Do It,” received plenty of support from the fashion world in attendance Tuesday.

Bethann Hardison, an activist for diversity in fashion and a former supermodel who was also honored Tuesday, said she was happy with Nike’s move. “It’s such a divided situation in our world right now,” she said of the negative reaction by some fans. “But I’m such a huge, huge, wholeheart-

edly, supporter of Colin that I’m very proud that someone understands what he’s done and (is giving) him some kudos.”

Prominent African-American designer Tracy Reese said she loved the new Nike campaign.

“It was tastefully done,” she said.

“And really, this is the time to stand up for what you believe in. Colin Kaepernick has done that and I think that we need to follow his example and really go where the heart leads, instead of where everybody expects you to go.”

Also honored Tuesday were designer Dapper Dan and stylist Jason Rembert. A fashion show highlighted the work of designers Kimberly Goldson, Undra Duncan and Fe Noel, who together created the new shoe.

Sports Briefs IndyCar adds Texas track to 2019 schedule INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — IndyCar will make its debut at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas and return to Laguna Seca, California, as part of its 2019 schedule.

The 17-race schedule released Tuesday drops the oval track in Phoenix and the road course in Sonoma, California. Both COTA and Laguna Seca are road courses.

“IndyCar has worked to deliver a consistency and cadence to the schedule and that is reflected again in 2019,” said Mark Miles, president and CEO of Hulman & Co., which owns IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“We’ve added races at a pair of tracks that know how to put on fantastic events, while returning to tracks where IndyCar has longstanding relationships on familiar race dates. The diversity of next year’s schedule will continue to make what we believe is the most challenging and competitive championship in motorsports.”

COTA, in Austin, replaces Phoenix in March as the second race on the schedule. The road course opened in 2011, hosts a Formula One race and, at 3.4 miles, becomes the second-longest circuit on IndyCar’s schedule behind Road America in Wisconsin.

Circuit of the Americas founder and chairman Bobby Epstein said the track’s fan base has been excited for an IndyCar “from Year 1.” The permanent road course opened in 2011.

“It’s going to be spectacular,” he said.

The deal with COTA made for a brief hiccup with Texas Motor Speedway, an oval in Fort Worth that has hosted 30 IndyCar races since 1997. TMS general manager Eddie Gossage opposed a second race in Texas, but eventually agreed to a four-year contract extension and will host IndyCar in June.

Laguna Seca hosted 22 open-wheel races until 2004. The road course near Monterey was last the site for an Indy car season finale in 1996. It replaces Sonoma as the IndyCar season finale next season.

The only other changes to the schedule are a shift to two weeks earlier for the race at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama and the race at Iowa Speedway returns to a nighttime start.

NASCAR champion team closes up shop CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Saying it cannot find enough funding to remain competitive, Furniture Row Racing announced Tuesday it will close its doors at the end of season, one year after Martin Truex Jr. won the maverick Colorado-based team its first NASCAR championship.

Team owner Barney Visser said it was a painful decision but “the numbers just don’t add up.”

“I would have to borrow money to continue as a competitive team and I’m not going to do that,” Visser said.

Visser, a 69-year-old Denver native, owns one of the largest family-owned home furnishing and bedding retailers in the country. He suffered a heart attack two weeks before last year’s season finale and was not able to attend Truex’s title-clinching race or the championship celebration. Visser had previously said he would not shut down the team, but reversed his decision with just 11 races remaining this season.

“I had a wake-up call last year and while I feel great, I need to make the best decisions that will have an impact on myself and my family,” Visser said.

Visser’s decision comes just one week before NASCAR’s playoffs begin with Truex expected to be a strong contender to defend his Cup Series title. Truex has dominated all season along with Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch, but he has been dogged by talk of free agency.

Clevinger (11-7) allowed just three hits in six innings and remained unbeaten in his last seven starts.

Kansas City had its season-high winning streak stopped at six, and lost starting pitcher Danny Duffy and rookie right fielder Brett Phillips to injuries.

Following the game, Duffy said his season is over. He’s been sidelined this year with shoulder issues. Phillips bruised his right shoulder crashed into the wall chasing a flyball.

RANGERS 4, ANGELS 2 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Adrian Beltre and Elvis Andrus each hit solo home runs in the fourth inning to lead Texas.

Andrus hit the first pitch of the fourth against Andrew Heaney (89) to tie it at 1. Two batters later, Beltre went deep for the ninth time this season and 471st time in his career.

Shohei Ohtani hit his 16th homer for Los Angeles, a leadoff shot in the sixth that chased Texas starter Mike Minor (11-7). It was Ohtani’s first major league homer off a left-handed pitcher.

Seattle, Washington to face off in finals

By TIM BOOTH AP Sports Writer

SEATTLE — Sue Bird was on the brink of seeing maybe her last good chance at getting to the WNBA Finals evaporate.

She was playing with a broken nose, her team was playing from behind for almost all of Game 5, and against her rival and friend that never loses in these situations.

And to make matters worse, Bird couldn’t find her shot, missing eight consecutive attempts.

It made what Bird accomplished during a 5-minute stretch of the fourth quarter on Tuesday night in lifting the Seattle Storm past the Phoenix Mercury 94-84 in Game 5 one of the best performances of her career at any level. She scored 14 of her 22 points in a brilliant closing statement that allowed Seattle to finally shake its longtime rivals and send Diana Taurasi to her first career loss in a winner-take-all game after 13 wins.

“This is up there,” Bird said.

“I don’t know that I’ve had a fourth quarter like this in as big of a game in my life.”

Bird made 5 of 6 shots in the final 6 minutes as Seattle overcame an 11-point first half deficit and advanced to the finals for the third time in franchise history. Bird has been there for each of those finals trips; the previous two bringing Seattle the two league titles it owns.

It was appropriate the lon-

gest tenured Storm player was the one lifting Seattle back to the championship series, with plenty of help from league MVP Breanna Stewart, who had a game-high 28 points. Seattle will face Washington in the finals. Game 1 is Friday.

“To be here now in some ways is probably sweeter than the other two just because I didn’t think it was going to happen. But here we are,” Bird said.

MYSTICS 86, DREAM 81 ATLANTA (AP) — The Mystics overcame a quiet night from Elena Delle Donne to earn a trip to the WNBA Finals for the first time in franchise history, holding off the Dream in the decisive fifth game of their semifinal series.

The Dream led 71-69 with just under 7 minutes remaining but suddenly went cold at the worst time of what had been a remarkable turnaround season.

Washington seized the lead with a 9-0 run and survived a desperation 3-pointer by Tiffany Hayes, earning a spot in the Finals against either Seattle or Phoenix. Those teams were tipping off in their own Game 5 about the time the final horn sounded in Atlanta.

Delle Donne scored 14 points, far below the 24.7 she was averaging in the series despite missing Game 3 with a knee injury.

Ariel Atkins led the way with 20, Kristi Toliver had 19 and Tianna Hawkins added 17.

The members of the chat may talk about sports, cars and tech gadgets as well as about women Abigail Van Buren -- typical things men discuss when they’re together. Unless they are using their phones to solicit extracurricular sex, I don’t think you should be censoring their use of them.

DEAR ABBY: Our 25-year-old granddaughter is engaged to be married to another woman very soon.

Her parents told us she is gay a few years ago. She’s very independent and will soon have her medical degree. She has been away at college. When she’s home she visits us, but we have never been able to talk about it with her.

She knows we don’t condone something we believe

is wrong. We are torn between going along or continuing to ignore the issue. Can you help?

-- NOT IN FAVOR IN KENTUCKY DEAR NOT IN FAVOR: If you feel you can change your granddaughter’s sexual orientation by telling her you disapprove of her being gay, forget it. It won’t work and may drive a permanent wedge between you. It might be helpful if you talk to her and let her explain that her sexual orientation isn’t something she “chose” -- it’s part of who she is: an intelligent, caring, accomplished individual who is dedicating her life to helping others. While it may be hard for you, keep an open mind and listen to what she has to say.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2018: This year you feel more in control of your life than you have in a while.

Focus on certain goals, knowing that you have support in the process and can succeed. If you are single, you could stumble into a tumultuous relationship that could be difficult to leave. Check out each person you meet with care. If you are attached, the two of you can become compulsive about your mutual interests. As a couple, try to let go more often. A lot of energy could revolve around a CANCER. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You are determined to accomplish whatever you need and want, yet your attention could turn to a recurring domestic or personal matter. Your intuition guides you, especially with a partner and an investment. Reflect on the positive and relax. Tonight: All’s well that ends well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You make the effort to touch base with a friend. You could be surprised by how much suddenly appears on your plate. Know that you can handle it all, as long as you prioritize. Do not hesitate to move an appointment or get-together. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH A problem reminds you to keep a close watch on your finances. Whatever you do, you do 100 percent. Do not allow your efforts to be ignored or discouraged. Be more forthright and upbeat. Do not ask anyone for a favor right now. Tonight:

Rubes

In the whirlwind of living.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your creativity and energy give you the ability to move through problems with ease and make the best of positive developments. Your flexibility is unusually high. If you feel the need, move an appointment. Invite friends over for some fun and games. Tonight: Paint the town red.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might sense that you don’t have the kind of control you usually do. Step back and allow others to do what they want. No matter what you say or do, you can’t seem to influence a loved one. Take care of a personal matter sooner rather than later. Tonight: Get some extra sleep.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Your diligence and willingness to follow through on priorities draw people toward you. Others notice how effective you can be if you relax and go with the moment.

Tap into your creativity when hitting an obstacle. Tonight: A child or loved one could test your commitment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You have not disclosed everything you know to an interested party. This person could find out accidentally, and you might need all of your diplomacy and charm to make peace! Buy a gift for a loved one. You do not need to go overboard; just be selective. Tonight: As you like it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Reach out to someone you care about. You might not get exactly what you want, but you will feel a lot better once you display your compassion. Your creativity puts an interesting twist on information you are hearing. Tonight: Make

Ziggy

plans for a mini-escape as soon as you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You understand more than you choose to reveal. What is happening around you could take a radical twist if you are not careful. Finances might be involved. Be careful to read all the fine print, as there easily could be a misrepresentation.

Tonight: Check your budget before going out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You have become changeable, but in a slow, decisive manner. Others could be testing your limits and making sure you really mean what you say. Be patient as they try different techniques to change your response. Make a point of visiting with a loved one. Tonight: Out with a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Dive into a project or clear out some important calls. You might be in the mood to overthink an issue, which is not going to create change immediately. Instead, toss yourself into your life and perhaps schedule a massage. You will feel more upbeat later. Tonight: Don’t push yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You appear to be an endless resource to many people. You could be unusually dynamic with a project that means a lot to you. You hit a roadblock when dealing with a long-term goal. Walk around the issue! Tonight: A friend could rain on your parade -- if you allow him or her to.

GRILLED VEGETABLES Dear Heloise: In the fall, my family loves to cook outdoors, especially when we grill vegetables. We buy the large portobello mushroom caps and grill them by brushing some olive oil on both sides and grilling them for about two to three minutes per side.

We add a little salt and pepper to taste.

-- Jessie T., Cedar Rapids, Iowa EGG SALAD WITH A TWIST Dear Heloise: Aloha from Maui. To make a tropical egg salad, replace half of the egg whites with cubed avocado and some chunky pieces of pineapple. Enjoy!

-- Judit W., Haiku, Maui, Hawaii MENDING MERINGUE Dear Heloise: When I make a meringue, the filling falls flat in the middle, and the meringue separates from the crust. What am I doing wrong?

-- Imogene P. in Dallas Imogene, when egg whites are beaten, they trap air bubbles. The size and strength of the bubbles determine the strength of the meringue. Cream of tartar makes the bubbles stronger, but be sure to add it before beating the egg whites. Gradually stir in sugar. When sugar is added too quickly, the granules won’t dissolve. Spread the meringue while the filling is hot, and when browning the top, do it under low heat, about 250 degrees, instead of high heat. The slow browning process will help firm the meringue. Always spread the meringue over the edges of the pie crust to prevent shrinkage, although some shrinkage is normal.

Remember to always use room-temperature eggs.

-- Heloise TALE OF TWO EGGS Dear Heloise: The phrase “beat two eggs separately” is confusing. Does it mean to beat two eggs in two different bowls?

-- Liz Y., Great Bend, Kan. Liz, no, it means to separate the egg yolk from the white and beat.

-- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: My fiance is in a group chat with a dozen of his friends. They are all professional men in their 30s with families. They regularly send each other pornographic images. This includes the group “icon,” which appears to be a solicited picture of a woman’s behind with the group name written on it with permanent marker. My fiance claims the image is “photoshopped” and that he doesn’t look at the pictures. This disturbs me.

I think my fiance should tell his friends not to send these images and to change the group icon. My fiance disagrees. He says it hurts no one and it’s OK to do in a private chat. I don’t think it’s so private since this is on the phones they use in public and it’s in a group chat.

It also hurts women by distilling their worth to looks.

Hasn’t the #MeToo movement and ongoing shift in our culture shown it is sometimes men’s responsibility to end this “boys’ club” culture? I want my fiance to talk to his friends since they all live apart, but I want to convince him he should take a stand against this degrading attitude toward women’s images.

New Brown Bears hockey team turns out to cook/clean & sing the National Anthem at Industry Appreciation Day.

Raindrops don’t hinder turnout for 27th Industry Appreciation Day Since Industry Appreciation Day began 27 years ago, the weather has usually offered a pleasant end of summer day for the celebration, a happy time to celebrate the industries that provide the economic base for the Kenai Peninsula and enjoy free games and food while honoring outstanding individuals and businesses in the industries of oil and gas, tourism, commercial fishing and health care.

It started as idea from Jack Brown and the late Aaron Goforth when the oil and gas industry in the Cook Inlet was at a

low point and most investment and exploration had moved to the North Slope and with it many support industries and the jobs they provided. The idea was to be thankful for those companies that continued to invest here. As the event grew in popularity other industries were included that have continued to flourish on the peninsula and signature events like the frozen T-Shirt contest that gave kids the chance to win prizes as well as becoming aware of the industries that could become their future careers in the local

area.

While a steady all day rain greeted this year’s Industry Appreciation Day, it didn’t deter hundreds of families from turning out and keeping the tradition alive. Don Gilman was Borough Mayor at the time Industry Appreciation Day began and in his honor a prestigious award is given each year to an outstanding individual in recognition of superior performance and dedication to the Kenai Peninsula Community.

This year’s Don Gilman Kathy Roser honored with Outstanding Individual in Tourism See DAY, page 2 Award.

Born to fish? Or just want the AK look? Alaska Wildgear is the place For many years Alaskans from all over the state and tourists from all over the world have become familiar with clothing, hats, t-shirts, vests and jackets from Alaska Wildgear.

Organizations that wanted personalized logos to sell or give as premiums for their events have come to depend on the quality and originality of apparel from Alaska Wildgear. Souvenirs from Alaska Wildgear have found their way around the world as authentic memorabilia of the Last Frontier. The creations of Doug Hodges since 2006 when he and a friend started designing hoodies and t-shirts making them available at Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware & Fishing. From those early beginnings Alaska Wildgear has continued to grow and a few years ago moved into the Trustworthy Annex in Soldotna.

“It continued to grow into a bigger and bigger company to where this year we decided to expand into its own store,” said Doug’s wife and partner Rona Hodges.

“This Ain’t the Lower-48” became a well-known slogan

Healthy Relationships What is a Healthy and Respectful Relationship?  Mutually agreeing on a fair distribution of work  Making family decisions together  Communicating openly and truthfully For help or information, call The LeeShore Center at 283-9479.

The LeeShore Center is proud to be a United Way agency

for the durable Alaskan fashions from Alaska Wildgear.

“It started with a company I had in Oregon called Custom Creations, we came to Alaska from Oregon and the company still exists there where we designed practical products for the Northwest and Alaska.

Products that people wanted and needed for our rugged life style,” Doug explained. “It’s not so good for the south or warmer climates, but our goods are especially designed for inclement weather. Our products feature layers, different products with different layers that adjust as needed to the climate.

We have base layers, mid layers and shell jackets.”

With hunting season and back to school underway, the new Alaska Wildgear Clothing store is exactly what the peninsula has been looking for. But if you haven’t been to the new store, you are in for a surprise.

A2 | Wednesday, September 5, 2018 | Clarion Dispatch service award was presented to Scott and Dena Cunningham, owners of McDonald’s restaurants in Kenai, Soldotna and Homer, who were out of state at the time. Selected as the Outstanding Individual in the Oil & Gas Industry this year was Lori Nelson of Hilcorp Alaska.

“I came to Alaska with my parents 20 years ago and have been with Hilcorp since they came to Alaska 7 years ago,” said a very surprised Nelson while handing out 85 dozen of Krispy Kream donuts. “When I first started with the company we just offshore with the original Chevron assets and shortly thereafter the Marathon assets and again shortly thereafter we grew on to the North Slope and we continue to look for new opportunities here in Alaska. It’s a great company employing just over 500 employees, and over 90 percent of us are Alaskans and we all buy into the success of the company. I was very surprised and humbled.

I’ve been proud to be part of this event year after year and it’s great to see good people recognized for their efforts but was very surprised to receive the honor from such a great community.”

Since its inception it has been an Industry Appreciation Day tradition to have the borough mayor as the emcee

of the event and this year it was Mayor Charlie Pierce’s turn to be behind the microphone rather than grilling burgers for the event.

“We hung out with the community today and they hung with us. We did it Alaska style, we played in the rain, the cook crew cooked a bunch of food and there was a lot of appreciation showed here today, thanking people for what they do every day to make the Peninsula what it is and a place that continues to attract the best of the best to a wide variety of industries,” he said.

Other recipients of Industry Appreciation Awards included Petroleum Equipment & Services, Inc. as the Outstanding Support Business for the Oil & Gas industry and Andeavor as the Outstanding Businesses in Oil & Gas. In the commercial fishing Industry Richard & Karen McGahan were honored as the Outstanding Individuals along with Coby & Connie Wilson. Kenai River Brewing was chosen as the Outstanding Business in Tourism and Kathy Roser of Ravn Air as the Outstanding Individual in the Tourism Industry.

While volunteering to set up, cook and clean up, the Kenai River Brown Bears won the Outstanding Support

in addition we have the popular Alaska Chicks, Octopus Ink and Salmon Sisters which are all Alaskan brands that Alaskans love to buy.”

The new expanded clothing store was the result of a new opportunity, she said.

“We’ve always wanted to have an Alaskan clothing store but didn’t have the right opportunity, then the lease came available here where the Trustworthy II use to be, so we renovated it and did a makeover and brought in other Alaskan brands to be able to support them and have one place where pure Alaskan gear and fashion would be available complete with fitting rooms,” she said. “This is

an Alaskan brand store where everything is Alaskan. And it’s not like a souvenir store where everything is the same all the time, every week and month we bring in new things from all the brands. So there are always new items and if you’re local you can come in here once or twice a month and you’ll find things you didn’t see the last time you were in. Back to school was really fun and busy, but we already have a lot of new items so come in and see us.”

By the luck of the draw kids win new bikes at Industry Appreciation Day.

Business in Tourism and in Health Care Support Industry, LifeMed Alaska was honored and as the Outstanding Individual in Healthcare. Dr. John Halligan of Peninsula Radiation Oncology received

the award. For the Outstanding Business in Health Care PCHS Dental was recognized and for Outstanding Fish Habitat Conservation John Morton of U.S. Fish & Wildlife Kids work hard to get a frozen t-shirt over their heads and win was selected for the award. prizes.
