In the news Anchorage approves ban on distribution of plastic bags ANCHORAGE (AP) — Anchorage is banning stores from distributing disposable plastic shopping bags in the city and will require retailers to charge customers a 10-cent fee for paper bags. The city assembly adopted the plastic bag ban and paper bag fee Tuesday that take effect in March, the Anchorage Daily News reported . The ban will apply to all retail businesses, including grocery stores, restaurants and pharmacies. Smaller plastic bags usually supplied by grocery stores for produce, meat or bulk items are exempt from the ban. Retailers can keep the money from the paper bag fees, according to the ordinance. Businesses that do not charge the fee could face fines. Supports say the move will reduce litter and encourage customers to bring reusable bags to stores. Bringing with him more than a dozen plastic bags recently collected from Anchorage streets, Assemblyman Christopher Constant pushed for the strict ban at the meeting Tuesday. “The waste stream is voluminous and we have an opportunity to break the cycle,” Constant said. Opponents said the measure it would place a burden on businesses and customers. Assemblyman John Weddleton said banning all plastic bags regardless of the thickness would be too much. Thicker plastic bags were not at the heart of the problem, he said, also noting the increase use of paper bags could negatively affect the city’s carbon footprint.

Man shot, wounded in Anchorage ANCHORAGE (AP) — A man suffered life-threatening injuries when he was shot on a downtown Anchorage street. Police shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday received a report of shots fired at west Sixth Avenue and C Street. They found a man in the street who had been shot more than once in the upper body. He was rushed to a hospital. Officers determined the injured man had been in a fight with another person who shot him and may have fled on a motorcycle. Police are asking for witnesses with information on the shooting or surveillance video.

Kenai combats trash with lunchtime event By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The city of Kenai is sponsoring three lunchtime events that city planner, Elizabeth Appleby, hopes will promote a cleaner, more engaged city. The events, called TRASHersize, focus on cleaning city trails on a typical lunch break. The city provides all the bags, gloves and water needed for the event. Appleby said she created the event for a number of reasons, including high-

lighting Kenai’s city trails, working with the community to create a cleaner place to live and creating an informal setting where residents can interact with city employees. The Kenai Planning and Zoning Department receives complaints about litter. While Appleby said that most of the complaints she receives aren’t focused on trails, she said there is still a need to clean the city’s trails. “The complaints I’ve gotten have not really been specific to trails, but given it’s only me and one other person in Planning

and Zoning enforcing these complaints, I thought trying to interact with residents with informal ways to combat the trash issue would help give a boost to staff dollars and time in the city,” Appleby said. Karolee Hansen joined the first TRASHersize event the city hosted on Thursday. “I just want to do something to make Kenai more beautiful and cleaner,” Hansen said. Carol Bannock works in the Kenai City Parks and Recreation Department. See KENAI, page A2

ANCHORAGE — A woman has been indicted on murder charges in the deaths of her two baby daughters two years apart. A Fairbanks grand jury Wednesday indicted Stephany Lafountain, 23, in the death of a 4-month-old girl in 2015 and a 13-month-old girl in November 2017. Both girls’ deaths exhibited signs of being suffocated, police said. The girls were referred to by their initials and their names were not released. At a news conference, Fairbanks Police Chief Eric Jewkes called the cases an “unimaginable tragedy,” but did not discuss a possible motive. Fairbanks police arrested Lafountain on Thursday afternoon. She was jailed at Fairbanks Correctional Center. Online court records do not list Lafountain’s attorney. She was scheduled to be arraigned Friday. Lafountain last year was married to a soldier and living on Fort Wainwright Army Post. The Fairbanks Police Department investigated the Nov. 20 death because the mother and the child were civilians, authorities said. Online court records indicate was divorced in February. According to police, Lafountain called emergency responders just before 6:30 p.m. to say her child was not breathing. The child was taken to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital See CHARGE, page A2

Hidden gem: Kasilof Historical Museum details area history By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

In Kasilof, everything revolves around the river. A visit to the Kasilof Historical Museum shows that it’s been that way for thousands of years. From the early Alaska Native Dena’ina people to the cannery workers, fox farmers and commercial fisherman, the people of Kasilof are reliant on its waterway. Driving too fast, passersby might miss the museum. It sits near the intersection of Kalifornsky Beach Road and the Sterling Highway and the first thing that greets visitors is an old, rusty road grader sitting near the road. Pulling in, a village of cabins, boats, equipment and other items of historical importance appear out of the foliage. “The way we are situated here, people drive so fast they don’t see us,” Alicia Morgan, vice president of the Kasilof Regional Historical Association and one of the museum docents, said. Inside the main building, visitors can sign in and admire artifacts like beaded moccasins made by Dena’ina, ropes made from area roots, salmon cans with colorful vintage labels and more. The main building, called the McLane Center, was originally the infirmary for the Kasilof cannery. Built in 1882, the cannery was the second one built in the state and the first one built in western Alaska. After it served its purpose for the cannery, the building became a schoolhouse in 1932. Kasilof resident Enid McLane was chosen to be the

first teacher. She lived north of the Kasilof River and lived with her children at the school during the week to avoid crossing the river every single day after work. Visitors can read about how McLane had to cross the river in the spring by jumping from one ice chunk to another. When Tustumena School was constructed in 1959, the McLane Center became the community library. There are eight historic buildings on the grounds, Morgan said. The Watchman’s House is one of the newer additions to the museum. The home was built in 1891 and used until the 1970s. After it was abandoned it was damaged by Adam’s leaning wheel grader is the first thing drivers see from the road when passing by the campers visiting it.

your payday,” Morgan said. When the museum is open, a small walking trail and outdoor placards help guide curious visitors through the maze of historic buildings. During open hours people can peruse the interior of these buildings, but in the wintertime, visitors can still peek through the windows and into the past. “It’s more or less the locals’

playground in the wintertime, where people can come in and work on the exhibits,” Morgan said. Because so many community members change and add exhibits in the wintertime, Morgan said every year the museum is a little bit different than the year before. Morgan said the museum greets about 600 visitors a year,

but that count comes from people that sign in. She said many more come when it’s closed and take the outdoor, self-guided tour. This is the last weekend the museum is open for the season. The museum is open from 1-4 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, Memorial Day to Labor Day. Reach Victoria Petersen at vpetersen@peninsulaclarion. com.

ing the area eligible for federal funding to recuperate the losses. Congress appropriated $56.3 million and is seeking comments on the proposed spending plan for distributing the funding until Sept. 7. The proposed plan sets four criteria for funding — to improve fishery information to better assess and forecast future fishery performance, to support fishery participants directly involved and harmed by the disaster, to affect the most people possible and to address losses to primary business and infrastructure that directly support pink salmon fisheries and that experienced the greatest losses. Researchers, fishermen, municipalities and processors are eligible to receive funds. According to the draft plan, $4.18 million is allocated for three research projects: A prince William Sound juvenile salmon survey,

the ongoing multi-year hatchery salmon-wild salmon interaction study in Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska, and the Southeast Alaska Coastal Monitoring Survey that surveys juvenile pink salmon abundance. For the fishermen, the funds aren’t meant to fully restore the losses they experienced, but to push the total 2016 exvessel value up to 82.5 percent of the five-year average exvessel value. For example, in Lower Cook Inlet, the 2016 exvessel value was $110,512, while the five-year average was $454,796, so the funds needed to reach the target percentage would be $264,695, according to the draft plan. About $32 million of the funds are allocated to help fishermen. Municipalities affected by a loss of commercial fishery landing taxes are slated to get $2.4 million of the funds,

while processors are slated to get $17.7 million. Processor awards would be based on their 2016 gross revenues and fiveyear-average gross revenues, according to the draft plan. The state developed the plan in conjunction with the Alaska office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the final plan will be administered by the Pacific States Marine Commission, according to a press release issued by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game on Thursday. Fish and Game is accepting comments on the draft plan on its website. “The State of Alaska’s intent, per the appropriation language, is to distribute the federal funds to the affected parties as soon as practical,” the release states.

police said, the death was not considered a homicide. Police said they then found similarities in the two cases. Lafountain, then named Stephany Bilecki, and living in a Fairbanks apartment, called police just after 5 p.m. on Sept. 15, 2015, and said her 4-month-old child was not breathing. The child was later pronounced dead at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. Detectives learned that an

hour before her second child died, Lafountain searched online on how to kill without being detected.

Autopsies and medical records indicated both girls were healthy and suffered no genetic abnormalities, diseases or injuries.

Salmon fishermen have had a hard year across the Gulf of Alaska this year, with the statewide average buoyed by a recordbreaking sockeye salmon harvest in Bristol Bay but significantly below average in areas like Cook Inlet and Kodiak, particularly for sockeye.

What Others Say

Congress must advance prison reforms bill A prison reform bill that passed the

House with a strong bipartisan majority is slowly dying in the Senate. It must be rescued and broadened. The First Step Act focuses on ways to help federal prisoners prepare for a productive life once they leave prison and to support them in their search for employment. It is a thoughtful attempt to break the destructive cycle that results in more than half of federal prisoners returning to prison within a few years after their first release. Pilot programs have shown that recidivism can be sharply reduced by providing such support. The lone problem with the First Step Act is that it addresses only the 225,000 inhabitants of federal prisons. That is just 15 percent of the nation’s prison population. The bill doesn’t help the far more numerous inmates transitioning from state prisons and local jails. It should provide states with grants to encourage the establishment of similar prison-to-society assistance programs. South Carolina has shown that such programs can work. The state’s comprehensive re-entry program, part of a partnership between the Department of Corrections and the Department of Employment and Workforce, began at a Manning facility and is being expanded to other sites. Almost 70 percent of the people who leave prison after taking part in the program find work within a year, which is nearly three times the national average, according to corrections chief Bryan Stirling. In the long run, reducing the number of repeat offenders is the best way to address the burdensome cost of prisons. Instead, some states facing overcrowded prisons and prison riots are considering sentencing reforms like those enacted last year in Louisiana. Reducing sentences saves money in the short run, but it may prove to be a temporary respite unless the ex-offenders are successfully reintegrated into society. All it takes is one sensational crime to turn voters against what some hard-line legislators call “jailbreak” laws too lenient on prisoners. Upfront costs of reintegration programs can be a major obstacle to state action. Federal grants could provide a helpful financial bridge to meet the start-up costs. Meanwhile, the First Step Act is caught in a conflict between senators who seek federal sentencing reforms and those who strongly oppose them. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wants to add bipartisan sentencing reforms that narrowly missed Senate passage in 2016 to the House legislation. That is adamantly opposed by Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana, who opposed the sentencing reform bill passed by the Louisiana Legislature last year, and Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, who argues that federal sentences are not tough enough. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, could sideline the entire prison reform bill to avoid a debate pitting Republicans against each other before the midterm elections. That would be a shame. Sen. Grassley should do the right thing and drop his effort to attach sentencing reforms to the bill and instead focus his committee on broadening it to encourage state action on the prison-to-society transition. Sen. McConnell should then green-light that bill. Such a compromise would lead to meaningful assistance for people trying to put their lives back together and avoid a return trip to prison. —The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina, Aug. 28, 2018

What’s lost when the president can’t show up? By JULIE PACE AP Washington Bureau Chief

WASHINGTON (AP) — What’s lost when the president of the United States can’t — or won’t — show up? As the remembrances for the late Sen. John McCain shift from Arizona to Washington the rest of this week, President Donald Trump will be glaringly missing. The McCain family asked him to stay away from the four-day tribute to the storied Republican lawmaker. And even if they hadn’t, it’s unlikely Trump would have been eager to eulogize one of his fiercest critics. But Trump’s absence is about more than just a personal feud between two dramatically different politicians. His inability to seize the ceremonial, symbolic power of the presidency, both in times of sorrow and joy, threatens to change an important aspect of the office itself and remake Americans’ expectations of their commander in chief. “There’s a loss,” says Julian Zelizer, a political historian at Princeton University. “A lot of the stuff (Trump) does become norms. That’s the power of a presidency. Now a president can be this way.” The American presidency has always been tangled in partisan divisions. Most recent presidents have been elected by narrow margins after campaigns focused on party loyalists. Like Trump, his predecessors have frequently stuck to friendly environs, preferring the adulation of supporters to the criticism of detractors. But most modern presidents also have recognized that the office comes with certain ceremonial expectations. Americans not only look to the president to run the government, but also to lead in times of tragedy or cheer in moments of national pride. In the days after the Sept. 11 attacks, Republican George W. Bush rallied Demo-

AP News Analysis cratic-heavy New York, standing on a pile of rubble at the World Trade Center and throwing out the first pitch at a Yankees game. Democrat Barack Obama walked the streets of reliably red territory in Missouri, Alabama and elsewhere, hugging residents after natural disasters. He helped ease tensions in South Carolina when he broke into a rendition of “Amazing Grace” at a funeral for victims of a black church shooting. McCain asked both Bush and Obama to speak at his funeral Saturday at Washington National Cathedral. Trump is expected to be at the White House, just a few miles away. Trump stunned many members of his own party during the presidential campaign by mocking McCain’s capture during the Vietnam War. Their relationship never recovered, and McCain emerged as one of Trump’s sharpest GOP critics. In the days after McCain succumbed to brain cancer, Trump resisted aides’ efforts to pay tribute to the senator and only grudgingly put out a statement honoring him. What’s striking is that Trump was elected despite few Americans believing he was well-suited to take on some of the traditional obligations of the presidency. A Pew Research Center survey in November 2016, just before the election, showed that 66 percent did not believe he would set a high moral standard for the office. A Pew poll this summer showed that 71 percent believe he has not. Many Trump supporters argue that he was elected in part to defy convention and change expectations for the presidency. Indeed, the same Pew poll found that 60 percent of those who approve of Trump listed his personality or approach to politics among the things they like most about him.

Classic Doonesbury, 1991

But some of his supporters have suggested he’s missing an opportunity. Sen. Lindsey Graham, both a close friend of McCain and a Trump ally, urged the president this week to be “a big man in a big office.” “John McCain was a big man, worthy of a big country,” Graham said on CBS. “Mr. President, you need to be the big man that the presidency requires.” At times, Trump has tried to unite or heal in moments of tragedy, with varying degrees of success. He traveled to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria ripped through the island, but he feuded with the Democratic mayor of San Juan ahead of his arrival and the lasting image of his trip was his throwing rolls of paper towels into a crowd. He called the mother of an American soldier killed in Niger to offer condolences, but wound up tangling with a congresswoman who criticized him for telling the family that the solider knew what he was signing up for. Increasingly, Trump is simply absent in moments when a president would be expected to show up. He was reportedly asked to not attend funeral services earlier this year for Barbara Bush, the matriarch of one of the nation’s most prominent Republican families. And with athletes and celebrities often unwilling to be seen alongside Trump, he’s sometimes had to skip functions such as the Kennedy Center Honors and cancel sports teams’ championship celebrations at the White House. Doug Heye, a Republican strategist who has been critical of the president, said the real concern is not whether Trump can reinstate some of those ceremonial functions, but whether he could bring the country together if he needed to. “If we need a united national response, and we’re not united, that makes the job of president to do those good and right things harder,” Heye said. “That seems not possible right now.”

Nation Proposal to limit drilling gets on Colorado ballot By DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press

DENVER — A contentious proposal to tightly restrict the location of new oil and gas wells in Colorado attracted more than enough petition signatures to qualify for the November ballot, election officials said Wednesday. The measure, known as Initiative 97 , is certain to ignite an expensive and high-stakes battle over how much control state and local governments can exert over one of the state’s most powerful industries. Backers submitted an estimated 123,000 valid signatures, well over the 98,492 required, Secretary of State Wayne Williams said. The measure would require that new oil and gas wells be at least 2,500 feet (750 meters) from occupied buildings and “vulnerable areas” such as parks, creeks and irrigation canals. It would allow local governments to require greater setbacks. Current requirements are 500 feet (150 meters) from homes and 1,000 feet (300 meters) from schools. Supporters said bigger setbacks would better protect people and the environment,

especially from fracking, or hydraulic fracturing. “We’re just absolutely thrilled that safer setbacks from fracking will be on the ballot this November,” said Micah Parkin, a board member with Colorado Rising, the initiative’s primary backer. Opponents warned of dire consequences if it passes. “This measure will devastate the state of Colorado by destroying nearly 150,000 jobs over the next decade, eliminate billions in state revenues, and negatively impact essential services such as health care, education, transportation, fire and safety,” said Chip Rimer, chairman of Protect Colorado, an industrybacked group. A state analysis said the measure would place 85 percent of non-federal land in Colorado off-limits to drilling. An oil and gas advocacy group warned in June that taxpayers could face billions of dollars in compensation claims because energy companies would not be able to extract and sell privately owned reserves. Both the Democratic candidate for governor, Jared Polis, and his Republican opponent, Walker Stapleton, have said they oppose the measure.

WASHINGTON — A day after announcing the departure of his White House counsel, President Donald Trump teased Thursday that he’s excited about his choice for a replacement but isn’t ready to share his new lawyer’s name. Trump said Wednesday on Twitter that Don McGahn will leave in the fall. He has been a consequential insider on Trump’s legal team and a key figure in the administration’s handling of the federal investigation into Russian election interference and possible Trump campaign collusion. “I am very excited about the person who will be taking the place of Don McGahn as White House Councel!” Trump tweeted Thursday. He sent a later tweet that spelled “counsel” correctly. Trump also took a shot at reports that McGahn had threatened to resign last year if the president continued to press for the removal of special counsel Robert Mueller as head of the Russia investigation. “I liked Don, but he was NOT responsible for me not firing Bob Mueller or Jeff Sessions. So much Fake Reporting and Fake News!” Trump said,

referring as well to his attorney general, who recused himself from the investigation, much to the president’s annoyance. Trump said Thursday that the Russia investigation was not a factor, “even a little bit,” in his decision about McGahn’s departure. White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said at the White House Thursday that Trump will make the announcement about McGahn’s successor. She offered no timetable. McGahn has done “a fantastic job as White House counsel,” she said, mentioning his work on deregulation and the president’s judicial nominees. McGahn’s exit, which has been expected for some time, continues the churn of top officials as the administration sets records for turnover and the White House struggles to fill key vacancies. Unlike some less-amiable separations, however, Trump praised McGahn as “a really good guy” who has done “an excellent job.” Trump said Wednesday that McGahn’s departure had nothing to do with the lawyer’s interviews with the special counsel. Pressed by reporters, Trump said he had approved the interviews and was unconcerned about anything McGahn might tell prosecutors.

Setbacks are the subject of fierce debate in Colorado, where drilling rigs and storage tanks intermingle with schools, homes and hospitals, especially in the urban Front Range corridor north of Denver. Colorado ranks fifth in the nation in natural gas production and seventh in oil. The secretary of state’s office estimated the number of valid signatures by examining a 5 percent sample of the nearly 173,000 submitted. That is standard practice for this type of ballot measure, said Julia Sunny, a spokeswoman for the office. Opponents have not ruled out a challenge to the signatures, said Karen Crummy, a

spokeswoman for Protect Colorado. On Tuesday, the secretary of state’s office said a separate measure backed by the oil and gas industry had drawn enough signatures to get on the November ballot. Initiative 108 would make it easier for property owners to seek compensation from the government for actions that diminish their property’s value. Supporters say it could be used if expanded setbacks prevent drilling for oil and gas. The Colorado Municipal League has warned it would unleash litigation over all sorts of claims, including zoning changes, and taxpayers would have to pay for it.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is canceling pay raises due in January for most civilian federal employees, he informed Congress on Thursday, citing budget constraints. But the workers still could see a slightly smaller boost in their pay under a proposal lawmakers are considering. Trump said he was nixing a 2.1 percent across-the-board raise for most workers as well as separate locality pay increases averaging 25.7 percent. “We must maintain efforts to put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and Federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases,” said Trump. The president last year signed a package of tax cuts that is forecast to add about $1.5 trillion to federal deficits over 10 years. Trump cited the “significant” cost of employing federal workers as justification for denying the pay increases, and called for federal worker pay to be based on performance and structured toward recruiting, retaining and rewarding “highperforming Federal employees and those with critical skill sets.”

His announcement came as the country heads into the Labor Day holiday weekend. Democrats immediately criticized the move, citing the tax cuts Trump signed into law last December. That law provided steep tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans, and more modest reductions for middle- and low-income individuals and families. “Trump has delivered yet another slap in the face to American workers,” said Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez. Under the law, the 2.1 percent raise takes effect automatically unless the president and Congress act to change it. Congress is currently debating a proposal for a slightly lower, 1.9 percent across-theboard raise to be included in a funding bill that would require Trump’s signature to keep most government functions operating past September. Unions representing the 2 million-member federal workforce urged Congress to pass the 1.9 percent pay raise. “President Trump’s plan to freeze wages for these patriotic workers next year ignores the fact that they are worse off today financially

ORLANDO, Fla. — Officials say they don’t know what caused scaffolding to collapse, sending two construction workers falling to their deaths early Wednesday as they were pouring concrete on the seventh floor of a 16-story hotel under construction near Disney World. The accident happened just outside Disney property, Orange County Fire Rescue spokesman Mike Jachles said. “They were on the scaffolding, and for reasons unknown at this time, that support structure gave way, sending two workers plummeting to the ground below. A third worker managed to hang on and climb to safety, Jachles told The Associated Press. Marriott International has described the project as a 16-story, $282 million JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort, featuring 516 rooms near Orlando’s popular theme parks. It’s owned and developed by DCS Investment Holdings, a private equity group based in West Palm Beach, Florida, which is owned by Dwight C. Schar, co-owner of the Washington Redskins. “We are deeply saddened by the tragic accident that took place earlier today,” said Jeff Flaherty, who handles global communications and public affairs for Marriott. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of the workers who died.”

Oregon hunter rescued after hanging upside-down for 2 days LA GRANDE, Ore. — An Oregon hunter who fell out of his tree stand and got tangled in his safety harness has been rescued after hanging upside-down for two days about 30 feet (9 meters) from the ground. The Union County Sheriff’s Department says Thursday another hunter found the man and drove to a nearby highway to get cellphone reception to call 911. Rescuers used a bucket truck and ladder to reach him. The La Grande Observer reports that the man’s heart stopped beating about halfway through the rescue because blood flow that had been cut off to his lower body was suddenly restored. Rescuers were prepared for that possibility and had established a landing zone for a helicopter to airlift him to a local hospital. Union County is in rural northeast Oregon.

“We do everything straight,” he said. “We do everything by the book.” The departure of Trump’s top lawyer will hit one of the most critical — and yet least visible — positions in the West Wing. Besides dealing with Mueller’s investigation, McGahn has had important input on a range of issues from policy to personnel to national security. He will remain at the White House until after the expected Senate confirmation vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Trump said Emmet Flood, who joined Trump’s White House in May as in-house counsel for the Mueller probe, has been con-

sidered a leading candidate to replace him and has the departing attorney’s support, two administration officials said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters. Asked about Flood on Wednesday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said: “People like him. He’s super well-respected around the building. But there’s not a plan locked in place at this point.” McGahn, 50, a top election lawyer who served as general counsel on Trump’s campaign, has played a pivotal role in the president’s remaking of the federal judiciary with young, conservative judges.

In July, the Trump administration sharply revised upward its deficit estimates compared to the estimates in the budget proposal it sent Congress in February. The worsening deficit reflects the impact of the $1.5 trillion, 10-year tax cut, as well as increased spending for the military and domestic programs that Congress approved earlier this year.

Workers carefully moved Franklin’s polished bronze casket from the rotunda of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and loaded it in to a 1940 Cadillac LaSalle hearse. Journalists from The Associated Press were allowed to document the casket’s movement Wednesday night after the public viewing concluded. Wednesday’s viewing attracted thousands of fans and mourners from around the country. A viewing at New Bethel Baptist Church on Thursday provided the public another opportunity to pay their respects to the late Queen of Soul. Franklin’s invitation-only funeral will be held Friday at the Greater Grace Temple.

Torture of teen sparks outcry in Morocco By AMIRA EL MASAITI Associated Press

OULAD AYAD, Morocco — The mother of a 17-year-old Moroccan girl who told police she was gang-raped, forcibly tattooed and held against her will for two months recalled how her daughter was dumped at the family’s home by two men, the scars of horror stamped on her body, “her honor lost.” The harrowing case in a nation where violence against women is widespread but largely ignored has sparked a public outcry, with people taking to social media to demand justice and a petition campaign invoking the teenager’s name: “We are all Khadija.” The teen, whose story has dominated Moroccan media since an online video was posted last week showing her arms, legs and neck covered in crude tattoos and cigarette burns, told authorities she was released in mid-August after two months in captivity. In an interview Wednesday with the Associated Press, her distraught mother said she fainted when she saw her daughter’s desecrated body and asked whether the girl would ever again be the daughter she knew.

“I was caught off guard when those criminals brought my daughter and I saw her in this condition. I fainted … I collapsed, seeing her like that, the tattoos, the burns, her honor lost,” the mother said, speaking on condition of anonymity to protect the family’s privacy and that of her daughter, who she referred to only by her first name, Khadija. “Why did they do this to my child? Are they beasts? Will my daughter ever return to the way she was?” the mother asked. Reflecting the stigma associated with sexual abuse in this Muslim nation, the girls’ parents initially refused to report her case to authorities. “But she insisted,” her mother said. “She picked up the family records and just went to the gendarmes. I followed her.” As the mother spoke, rabbits and chickens roamed about the cement floor of the family’s rundown home in the town of Oulad Ayad in the Atlas Mountains of central Morocco, a rural region rife with poverty and high rates of illiteracy and unemployment. Twelve suspects are in custody in the alleged kidnapping and rape, and three are still at large, according to Ibrahim Hashane, a volunteer lawyer who is pressing the case. He said

Wednesday that an examining judge had ordered an investigation and a hearing was scheduled for Sept. 6. In an online video interview with Morocco’s Chouf TV last week, the girl alleged that her kidnappers “would assault me one by one,” burned her and didn’t feed her or let her shower. She displayed crude swastikas and other tattoos as well as cigarette burns on her hands and legs. The teen said that two men kidnapped her at knife-point when she was visiting her aunt during the May-June holy month of Ramadan, before selling her to other men in ex-

change for money or drugs. She said her captors gave her drugs that knocked her out for days at a time. The horrific account has sparked calls for an end to a culture that turns a blind eye to sexual assault and other violence against women, with nearly 75,000 people signing a petition urging action. In an article titled “We are all Khadija,” Moroccan author and filmmaker Abdellah Taïa, criticized what he called Morocco’s rape culture and called on the government and King Mohammed VI to intervene. It was signed by dozens of Moroccan intellectuals.

Oil-rich South Sudan to resume production By SAM MEDNICK Associated Press

JUBA, South Sudan — Emboldened by a new peace deal, civil war-torn South Sudan says it will resume oil production in a key region next month to make up for more than $4 billion of revenue lost during years of fighting. South Sudan, with Africa’s third-largest oil reserves, will renew drilling in northern Unity State for the first time since the fields were destroyed when the conflict began in late 2013, oil ministry officials told The Associated Press. The goal is to have all five locations there operational by the end of the year and working alongside the oil fields in Upper Nile State, which operated throughout the civil war. South Sudan’s economy is almost entirely dependent on exports of oil from its 3.5 billion barrels of reserves. Most of the oil rigs were shut down or destroyed by the civil war. The fighting that killed tens of thousands of people has also devastated the economy and sent prices for everyday items soaring. Oil was central to South Sudan’s potential when it won independence from Sudan in 2011. In the seven years before the civil war began, oil brought in more than $13 billion in revenue, according to the finance ministry. South Sudan’s government is optimistic about the resumed production, even attributing the peace deal signed early this month to the country’s reserves. “Without oil there probably wouldn’t be peace right now,”

Awow Daniel Chuang, the oil ministry’s director-general, told AP. However, that peace is fragile. This week South Sudan’s opposition briefly refused to sign the final peace agreement because of outstanding issues. It accused the government of using oil revenues to buy weapons, ammunition and politicians to undermine the peace, said opposition spokesman Mabior Garang de Mabior. The goal of resuming oil production in Unity State is to help increase South Sudan’s total output of 130,000 barrels per day to almost 300,000, which could bring in about $5 billion over the next few years, Chuang said. Another part of the goal is increasing Upper Nile State’s output to 200,000 barrels per day. The new peace deal was brokered by Sudan, which has a vested interest in its neighbor’s oil production. As part of the initial agreement when South Sudan gained independence Sudan was entitled to more than $3 billion of oil revenue, $1.2 billion of which is still owed, South Sudan’s oil ministry said. The government also hopes to attract investors during the second local Africa Oil & Power conference in November in the capital, Juba. While industry experts say the prospects look promising, some say efforts will be futile if the fighting resumes. “There is enormous pressure to ensure that the peace deal holds and that Sudan and other neighbors play a big role in enforcing and ensuring peace,” said NJ Ayuk, founder and

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — They cannot go home again. For many Honduran deportees, home means a return to the brutality that sent them fleeing north in the first place. In the neighborhoods where they grew up, corpses are dumped unceremoniously at construction sites, and carted off in body bags like loads of potatoes. Heavily armed police patrol from the back of pickup trucks, stopping to frisk pedestrians for weapons, drugs or other signs they belong to gangs. At home, a grieving woman with a household broom tries to wash rivers of blood from the alleyway where her kin was slain. For these deportees, home is a neighborhood ruled by murderous gangs who extort money and demand that young men join their ranks — killing those

who refuse to obey. They cannot go back home, so many seek refuge at a shelter for troubled youth in the capital, Tegucigalpa, where their stories echo each other. Alexis, 18, arrived at the shelter two years ago after being deported from Mexico. He says gangsters had threatened him repeatedly because he wouldn’t join them, and finally his mother told him he had to run. Salm, 14, left home after gang members threatened to kill him for refusing to join. He was in a shelter in Nicaragua for a while, but then that country sent him back. Jus, 15, fled after his father was murdered. He was deported from Guatemala. “I can’t go back to where I was born,” Jus says. “In any case, I don’t have any family there any longer.” The Associated Press is not publishing the location of the refuge or the full names of its

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker canceled a planned Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest Thursday following death threats and concerns other people could be put at risk. “To avoid the risk of victims of Islamic violence, I have decided not to let the cartoon contest go ahead,” far-right opposition politician Geert Wilders said in a written statement. Wilders, who for years has lived under round-the-clock protection because of death threats sparked by his fierce anti-Islam rhetoric, said he does not want others endangered by the contest he planned for November. The planned contest sparked angry protests in Pakistan and a death threat this week from a 26-year-old man, reportedly a Pakistani, who was arrested Tuesday in The Hague. Physical depictions of the prophet are forbidden in Islam and deeply offensive to Muslims. “It’s not just about me,” Wilders said in the statement. Strong opponents of the event “see not only me, but the entire Netherlands as a target.” The contest was to have been held at the tightly guarded offices of his Party for Freedom in the Dutch parliament building. Earlier Thursday, a Dutch judge extended by two weeks the detention of the man who allegedly threatened to attack Wilders. Prosecutors said in a statement that an investigating judge ordered the suspect held while he is investigated on charges of making a terrorist threat, making preparations for a terrorist murder and incitement. The Dutch government had been at pains to distance itself from the contest. Prime Minister Mark Rutte last week questioned Wilders’ motive for organizing the contest. “His aim is not to have a debate about Islam. His aim is to be provocative,” the prime minister said. However, Rutte added that people in the Netherlands have far-reaching freedom of speech rights and the government did not intend to seek the contest’s cancellation. In a clear indication of the anger Wilders had generated, thousands of hard-line Islamists marched toward Pakistan’s capital Thursday in protest. Some 10,000 supporters of the Tehreek-i-Labaik group, which helped Imran Khan to become prime minister following last month’s national elections, set out on the march Wednesday, calling on Khan to cut diplomatic ties with the Netherlands.

CEO of Centurion Law Group and chair of the African Energy Chamber of commerce. Currently there’s great interest from Asian, African and Eastern European countries looking to “defy the odds” and operate in a difficult environment as there’s still a lot more oil to be found in South Sudan, he said. At least one oil group said it feels confident the situation in northern Unity State is secure enough to resume production. “We’ve been to the field many times and have done assessments and there have been no incidents. Peace has come,” said Angelo Chol Dongway, vice president for the Greater Pioneer Operating Company, a consortium of four oil companies licensed to operate there. They are the China National Petroleum Corporation, Indiabased Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, the Malaysia-based

Petronas and South Sudan’s state-owned NilePet. Other international investors aren’t as convinced. “It sounds hopeful but internal politics, legal and economic stability have to be demonstrated,” said an oil industry consultant for a large company who spoke on condition of anonymity because the consultant wasn’t authorized to speak on the record. South Sudan’s oil sector has faced scrutiny by the international community for its alleged lack of transparency and use of state oil revenue to fuel the civil war. Earlier this year the U.S. government placed sanctions on 15 of South Sudan’s oil-related entities, including NilePet and the oil ministry, in an attempt to stem the flow of “corrupt official actors” using revenue to buy weapons and fund militias.

residents for safety reasons. Many deported families no longer have a home. They sold everything to pay for a trip north and now find themselves without shelter — and the additional burden of a debt they cannot pay. A woman named Larissa, her husband and their two children left home after the Mara Salvatrucha gang tried to recruit her 14-year-old son; when her boy refused to join, they beat him, kicking him in the face and breaking his nose. Years earlier, her husband was shot 14 times by gang members for failing to make an extortion payment, but survived. Three of her cousins were not so lucky. They were recruited by gangs, and all died young. “They say that those who take that path get killed,” Larissa said, speaking on condition of anonymity for safety. “That’s what happened to them.” The family was deported

from Mexico and lived with relatives in Honduras’ countryside, where Larissa’s husband worked in construction to save for another trip north. She didn’t dare move back to her hometown, El Progreso, though she did risk a visit to get a copy of the police report she had made about the gang. She hoped it will help the family gain asylum in the United States. She said they will try “when things are calm and they’re not taking kids away.” They later left Honduras to try to reach the United States again. In Tegucigalpa, the kids remain at home as long as they can. On a recent day, smiling boys with toy submachine guns play cops and gangsters, pausing when asked which side they are on: police, they say. Today it is a game. One day, those boys may have to make a real-life decision: whether to join a gang, or to flee their homes.

JERUSALEM — Sara Netanyahu, wife of Israel’s prime minister, is suspected by authorities of accepting bribes in a corruption case involving Israel’s telecom giant, Haaretz and other Israeli media reported Thursday. Police investigator Uri Kanar told a Tel Aviv court that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife was a suspect, and that police have testimony that the Netanyahus and the owner of the Bezeq telecom company were cognizant of the implications of their actions. The case deals with suspicions that confidants of Benjamin Netanyahu promoted regulations worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Bezeq in exchange for positive coverage of the prime minister in Bezeq’s news website, Walla. Sara Netanyahu’s lawyers dismissed Kanar’s comments. Police declined to comment on the media reports regarding the case. It was not immediately clear how Sara Netanyahu, who as the premier’s wife does not hold public office, might be charged with bribery. Police have questioned Netanyahu and his wife concerning the case, also known as Case 4000, but neither had been known to be directly implicated. Police have recommended indicting Netanyahu on corruption charges in two other cases, one involving accepting gifts from billionaire friends, and the second over trading positive media coverage for advantageous legislation for a newspaper. The prime minister has denied any wrongdoing, dismissing the accusations as a witch hunt orchestrated by the media.

Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker cancels Prophet cartoon contest LONDON — Critics of London Mayor Sadiq Khan have been given permission to fly a giant balloon over London that depicts him dressed in a bikini. Organizer Yanny Bruere has raised more than 58,000 pounds ($75,000) through the Crowdfunder website for the 29-foot (8.8-meter) blimp as part of a campaign to oust Khan from his post. Khan angered some people in the British capital and elsewhere last month when he allowed a balloon caricaturing Donald Trump as an angry baby to float above the city while the U.S. president was in England. Bruere cited rising crime and “defending free speech” as factors in his anti-Khan campaign. A City Hall spokeswoman says the balloon has permission to fly Saturday over Parliament Square. The balloon was a reference to a “Beach body ready” ad that Khan banned in 2016.

China says it will move at own pace despite US pressure BEIJING — China will make economic changes at its own pace regardless of U.S. pressure, and their worsening dispute over technology policy can only be solved through negotiations as equals, a Commerce Ministry spokesman said Thursday. The comments reinforced Beijing’s rejection of U.S. demands to scale back technology plans Washington says violate China’s free-trade commitments and might erode American industrial leadership. The spokesman, Gao Feng, gave no indication of plans for more negotiations over the conflict, which threatens to chill global trade and economic growth. “No matter what measures the United States takes to exert pressure, China will proceed with reform and opening up at its own pace,” Gao said. The two sides have raised tariffs on $50 billion of each other’s products in the battle over Chinese plans for stateled creation of champions in robotics, electric cars and other technologies. — The Associated Press

of making a living. The news has made much of Elon Musk’s transparency when he recently admitted he worked 120 hours a week and that was “wearing on him”. That admission was enough of a scare his investors send the stock of his company, Tesla, plunging dramatically. Jesus knew the crush of demands upon His time. In Mark’s gospel it describes a busy time in which Jesus and His disciples didn’t “even have time to eat”. Mark 6:31 And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and

rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. What was Jesus’ response to this? To put in more hours? To keep skipping lunch to meet the demand? No, His response was “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” He retreated, took a break, punched out, went incommunicado. It takes a lot of courage to hit the pause button. Many of us are rather hard-wired to respond to the demand for “more”, more of our time, more of our precious resources. To not provide it can trigger anger and disappointment in those who are demand-

ing it. Since we can’t always control the demands on our time or schedule, it is important that when we are able to, we should look for a way to find rest, not only for our bodies, but our souls as well. It is Jesus’ promise when we follow His example: Matthew 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Rev.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A federal judge has halted the Pennsylvania House of Representatives’ policy banning people who don’t believe in God from giving the invocations made at the start of each day’s legislative floor session. U.S. Middle District Judge Christopher Conner on Wednesday sided with atheists, agnostics, freethinkers and humanists who challenged the policy that has limited the opening prayers to those who believe in God or a divine or higher power. Conner said the restrictions on who may serve as guest chaplain violate the U.S. Constitution’s prohibition on making laws that establish a religion. The judge said Republican House Speaker Mike Turzai, whose office manages the guest chaplains, has denied the people and groups who challenged the policy the ability to give an invocation “due solely to the nontheistic nature of their beliefs.” “In light of this nation’s vastly diverse religious tapestry, there is no justification to sanction government’s establishment of a category of favored religions — like monotheistic or theistic faiths — through legislative prayer,” Conner wrote . He said it was “the content of the prayers, rather than their theistic or nontheistic nature, that matters.” Turzai and the other defendants had argued the Establishment Clause was not violated because they allowed people of different faiths to give the invocation, so no one religion was being favored. A spokesman for the House Republican caucus said the decision will be appealed. The head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which helped represent the plaintiffs, said the case was about government treating all citizens alike, no matter their religious beliefs or lack of belief. “Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives failed in that task, and we’re glad the court has set them straight,” said Americans United chief executive Rachel Laser. The lawsuit said 575 of the 678 House sessions over eight years started with an invocation. Non-lawmakers delivered it 265 times: 238 were Christian clergy, 23 were rabbis, three were in the Muslim tradition and one was not affiliated with a religion and gave a monotheistic prayer.

The clothes closet at First Baptist Church in Soldotna will be closed for the summer. Donors are asked not to drop anything off. The church looks forward to reopening the service in the fall.

Labor Day activities abound

ccording to the United States Department of Labor, the Labor Day holiday is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers, and was created as an annual honor to those who keep this great country trucking along. The first Labor Day was celebrated in 1882 New York City, and by 1894, Congress passed an act to make the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday. It’s also unofficially recognized as the end of summer, although it’s about as realistic for much of the Lower 48 as the winter solstice is for marking the “beginning of winter” here in Alaska. Labor Day itself is a bit of an oxymoron. We take time off to celebrate work. And do we truly honor the hard-working men and women of this country? By barbecuing with the old gang? But since the holiday isn’t going anywhere soon, we may as well take advantage of the time off to enjoy the offerings of late summer in Alaska. A brisk jaunt up Skyline this week reminded me that the summer warmth is still sticking around, as much as I am increasingly dreaming of winter. The mountain also bore the burgeoning fruits of the summertime in the form of blueberries, which are beginning to reach peak plumpness, and the nonedible delights of the fall season that inspire the mind’s work — the vibrant crimson reds and banana yellows of the fireweed and tall grasses that paint an incredible watercolor on the slopes of the mountains. Down off the mountains, there are other ways to make use of the holiday. Naturally, as a sports writer and fan, I’m drawn to the weekend’s events that lay plenty around the state and country. On a national stage, Labor Day means football is right around the corner, and the collegiate game is already kicking off this weekend, so the couch will soon be taking on the true spirit of Labor Day every Sunday with a full workload. September also means baseball’s pennant races are coming down to the wire, and teams are jostling for postseason spots to position themselves for a deep October run. Just as the ivy leaves on Wrigley Field’s outfield wall will be fading in the fall sunlight, the action on the diamond is about to turn up the wick.

Conference play finally arrives Key games loom for smaller schools By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The fourth weekend of the prep football season signals the end of a first half of wild nonconference and nondivision contests that have left the football hierarchy in a topsy-turvy state. It also signals the beginning of a second half of the season that will decide the postseason pecking order of who gets in, who misses out and who gets home-field advantage. The Division II Northern Lights

Conference teams will all still play out-of-conference games, but Division III Peninsula Conference schools will finally dip their toes into conference play this weekend, starting with a key Friday evening matchup in Nikiski when the Bulldogs host Ketchikan, while Homer takes to the road to play Houston. Seward, meanwhile, will travel to Valdez for a nonconference bout. Kenai Central and Soldotna will both continue to battle with Division Nikiski junior Michael Eiter (11) slips through a tackle Friday against the II Railbelt Conference rivals for an- Redington Huskies at Nikiski High School.

Area swimmers look to make waves By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

There is a small sense of change in the air in swimming circles. While the traditional powerhouses of the Region III swimming and diving scene probably aren’t going anywhere soon, some fresh faces are expected to make appearances this year. Faces such as Kenai team captains Savaii Heaven and Mickinzie Ticknor, Homer sophomore Madison Story and Seward freshman Lydia Jacoby. All enter the 2018 swim season with high hopes to topple the big guns at the state and region level, and coaches predict it will be exciting to watch. “The region is wide open,” said Homer head coach Thad Gunther. “Right now it’s whoever wants to work the hardest and take the opportunity. “I think there’s going to be a resetting

S eason P review of the pecking order in the state.” Last year, the Kodiak swim teams swept the Region III team titles, with the Soldotna girls finishing second and the Kenai boys third. Both finished sixth at state a week later to lead the peninsula schools. The coaching retirement of Kodiak’s John Lindquist has left whispers in the swim community as to how it’ll affect the strength of the program, but most foresee the Bears continuing to dominate. Kenai head coach Winter Heaven noted that Kodiak could see another challenge from the SoHi in the girls season race. “I know (SoHi has) got a lot of se-

niors this year, they’re an older and more experienced team,” Heaven said. “I could see them doing good things, and Seward’s got a couple of strong kids.” SoHi head coach Angie Brennan confirmed Heaven’s suspicions last weekend when her Stars team pulled off a dominant team victory at the Homer Quad meet. “I think that’s pretty cool, because we have a pretty good girls team,” Brennan said. “We have a lot of depth in that team, and a couple freshmen that are looking pretty promising.” Seward head coach Meghan O’Leary also tabbed Kodiak to take its usual contender status, but warned about the strength of the Homer girls, which feature Story, a sophomore standout. Story qualified for state in the girls 100 breaststroke in 2017 after finishing second in See SWIM, page B2

Refuge tries to battle sign blindness

couple of weeks ago, I drove a friend from Georgia around the Kenai Peninsula. He used to work as a park ranger (as do I) and remarked at how many visitors seemed to ignore signage on our tour. We watched an angler clean fish at the Kenai Lake boat launch right next to a “Do Not Clean Fish at Ramp” sign, a message that apparently did not apply to him. There was a great picture in this Sunday’s Clarion of a moose with a “Do Not Enter” sign wrapped around his antlers. I laughed and called my friend and said, “Wildlife don’t read signs either!” I often wonder about the effectiveness of different communication styles. Perhaps the strangest is the communication of intended action through written signage. I was once asked to review a nature center and give feedback on the visitor experience. Walking from the parking Lots of signs greet hikers at the trail head to Silver Lake on lot to their visitor center, I the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

management to place signs to discourage that behavior. I responded with a second question. “How many visitors do you have a year and how many of those park on the grass on average?” She replied they had 60,000 visitors annually and typically nobody parks on the grass unless there is an unusual event occurring. I asked a third question. “So 60,000 visitors a year read the DON’T messages because of a rare occurrence, one or two people act inappropriately?” This time I offered a statement. “How about welcome to your nature center instead of all the don’ts?” It is easy to do. Whether it is notes in the breakroom about cleaning up the microwave or reminders about cleaning out leftovers from the fridge, “Signs happen.” And they seem to attract more signs once we start down this path.

Umpire criticized for actions during Krygios match By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

NEW YORK — Nick Kyrgios was losing big at the U.S. Open on Thursday, and barely even trying. Didn’t move while so-so serves flew by for aces. Casually put groundstrokes into the net. Double-faulted without caring. The crowd began booing. The chair umpire, Mohamed Lahyani, decided to intervene. In an unusual sight for Grand Slam tennis, Lahyani clambered down out of his seat during a break between games, stood with hands on knees, and spoke with the 30th-seeded Kyrgios, saying, among other things, “I want to help you.” It all seemed like an impromptu intervention for the mercurial Kyrgios, right out there on Court 17 at Flushing Meadows, and it raised questions about whether Lahyani overstepped his duties as someone who’s primar-

ily there to keep score and keep order. Kyrgios went from trailing by a set and a break at the time to wresting control of the match — setting up a third-round showdown against Roger Federer — by coming back to beat Pierre-Hugues Herbert 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-3, 6-0. “This was not his job,” Herbert said, adding that he thinks Lahyani should be sanctioned in some way. “I don’t think he’s a coach, he’s an umpire, and he should stay on his chair for that.” The U.S. Open’s referee and chief umpire were reviewing what happened, as was the Grand Slam Board. Chair umpires are never made available to the media, but tournament referee Brian Earley said Lahyani explained that he left his perch “to make sure he could communicate effectively” with Kyrgios in a noisy arena. According to Earley, the official said he wanted to check whether Kyr-

gios needed medical attention and to warn the player that Lahyani “would need to take action” if the “seeming lack of interest in the match continued.” During an occasionally confrontational and sarcastic exchange with reporters, Kyrgios laughed at the suggestion that he had received coaching or a pep talk from Lahyani. “I mean, like, I don’t have a coach. I haven’t had a coach for, like, years. Of course he wasn’t coaching me. Like, what are you talking about?” Kyrgios said. “He said he liked me. I’m not sure if that was encouragement. He just said that it’s not a good look,” Kyrgios said about his chat with Lahyani. “Look. I wasn’t feeling good. I know what I was doing out there wasn’t good. I wasn’t really listening to him, but I knew it wasn’t a good look.” Kyrgios, a 23-year-old Australian, has run into trouble in the past for not

giving his all during matches, even drawing a fine and suspension from the ATP men’s tour in 2016. As Herbert put it: “Just sometimes he’s mentally not here.” What there’s never been a doubt about, however, is Kyrgios’ talent and ability to entertain — when he puts his mind to it. He burst onto the scene by stunning Rafael Nadal as a teenager at Wimbledon in 2014, and he owns a victory over 20-time major champion Federer, too. After reaching the third round by defeating Benoit Paire 7-5, 6-4, 6-4, Federer criticized Lahyani for going to talk to Kyrgios for as long as he did, and from as close as he did. Normally, a chair umpire leans over from his or her post to speak to a seated player during a changeover. “I don’t know what he said. I don’t care what he said. It was not just about, ‘How are you feeling?’ ‘Oh, I’m not feeling so well.’ Go back up

to the chair. He was there for too long. It’s a conversation. Conversations can change your mindset. It can be a physio, a doctor, an umpire, for that matter,” Federer said. “That’s why it won’t happen again. I think everybody knows that.” It was, to be sure, the most conversation-worthy topic on Day 4 at Flushing Meadows, where the most notable result was No. 2 seed Caroline Wozniacki’s 6-4, 6-2 loss to Lesia Tsurenko of Ukraine at night. Wozniacki, who won the Australian Open in January and is a two-time finalist in New York, is the third top-10 woman already out of the draw, including No. 1 Simona Halep. Past U.S. Open champions Novak Djokovic and Marin Cilic won at night, as did 2006 titlist Maria Sharapova, who took the last three games to beat Sorana Cirstea of Romania 6-2, 7-5 in a match that ended after midnight.

as a distance ace who can also do sprint events. The Seward boys got one point out of their lone state qualifier, Connor Spanos, last year in the 100-yard butterfly. Spanos is back as a junior in 2018, and O’Leary believes he will return to the state meet. “It looks promising,” she said. “(The state) had a lot of senior boys graduate from that event, so he’s probably going to be ranked fairly high.” O’Leary said the team welcomes in a few more male swimmers, which will buoy the relays. Spanos’ freshman brother, Peter, comes aboard this year, as does fellow frosh Gavin Foote.

the event at regions. However, one swimmer generating a lot of interest is Jacoby. O’Leary predicted Story’s speed in the 100 breaststroke will be challenged by Jacoby. “We’re keeping an eye on Madison Story,” O’Leary said. “I like the competition.” Gunther said the type of competition O’Leary referenced is coming from the younger stars, the incoming freshmen and sophomores that are making waves as they improve their skills. Brennan said the youth movement is finally here after forecasting it for several years. “There’s definitely ripples of, ‘Oh no, Lydia Jacoby is here,’” Brennan said.

Heaven said he also sees a bright future for incoming freshman Koda Poulin, who will step up and fill the vacant spots in the relays. Heaven picked Poulin as a distance swimmer, and will challenge the field in the 200 IM and 500 free events. “He thrives at distance,” Heaven said. “He’s got a great work ethic, a good kid. He knows how to compete.” Heaven added the different disciplines the boys team excels in will help Kenai in meets with a spread in the points haul. On the girls side, Heaven said the team is much younger and less experienced. Ticknor leads the way and “can do it all,” but will see a lot of time in the 100 backstroke. Joining Ticknor are sophomores Rachel Pitsch, a distance ace; Riley Reese, a sprinter; Julia Anderson and Grace Morrow. Heaven said he hopes to see his girls 200- and 400-yard freestyle relays show strong. HOMER MARINERS Gunther returns with assistants Hannah Gunther and Jaclyn Arndt with a team of about 20 athletes, which has him optimistic about the season. “We’re doing more of a dryland routine this year,” he said. “The high school season is more of a sprint, so we’re really taking that to heart.” Gunther said setting the athletes up for a healthy future is as important as what happens in the pool this year. “We’ve had good team bonding experiences with the Colony (Invite),” Gunther said. “We’ve been sleeping on the floor and traveling together. It’s one of those fun things.” Gunther said the Mariners sport a swollen freshmen class, particularly on the girls side. The lone senior is returning

member Alia Bales, who qualified to state last year in the 50 freestyle and was a key cog of the 200 freestyle relay that finished fourth at state with a school record time. Bales was joined by Story, Ella BlantonYourkowski and Adeline Berry to beat the old girls record by a scant .02 seconds, a new time of 1:41.84. Gunther said Bales is also a butterfly and sprint specialist. Bales is joined by Story, whose points-scoring abilities lie in her prowess in the breaststroke. Story took bronze at state in the girls 100 breaststroke and was fifth in the 200 IM. “She’s a really dedicated swimmer and just a great teammate,” Gunther said. “She’s helping to build her other teammates up and push them to their maximum potential. She has high aspirations for herself, and always looking at breaking a few more school records this year. We’re just making sure to set herself up for success.” Berry and BlantonYourkowski both return this year as well. Gunther said the Homer boys team is composed of all seniors with the exception of one freshman. The three returning state qualifiers are Clayton Arndt, Jake Nelson and Teddy Handley. Both Nelson and Handley were 100 butterfly qualifiers and Handley was a state swimmer in the 200 IM. Gunther said Arndt is a sprinter who could challenge for a region podium in the freestyle races. “They’re kind of a jack of all trades,” Gunther said. Gunther added that Theodore Castellani is back after a year off from swimming. “We call him the big celery,” he said with a laugh. “His parents have a farm in Homer, and

No. 21 UCF rips Connecticut, runs win streak to 14 EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — No. 21 UCF has a new coaching staff — and an offense that looks very similar to the one that helped the Knights go undefeated season a year ago. McKenzie Milton threw for 346 yards and tied a career high with five touchdowns as the selfproclaimed defending national champions routed UConn 56-17 on Thursday night to extend the longest winning streak in the nation to 14 games. The reigning American Athletic Conference offensive player of the year completed 24 of 32 passes and ran for another 50 yards on seven carries. Sophomore receiver Tre Nixon, a trans-

fer from Mississippi, caught five passes for 101 yards and scored on plays of 34 and 11 yards. Backup quarterback Darriel Mack Jr. came on in the fourth quarter and broke a 70-yard touchdown run down the left sideline, making him the team’s leading rusher. It was the first game for coach Josh Heupel, who took the reins after Scott Frost left for Nebraska. “I don’t know if we’re going to miss a beat,” Milton said. “The schematics are a little different, but we’re going to score a lot of points no matter what.”

UConn quarterback David Pindell was a bright spot for the Huskies, throwing for 266 yards and a touchdown and running for another 157 yards and a score. But the Huskies had 30 freshmen and sophomores on their two-deep, and more than a dozen players saw their first live-game action on Thursday night. “I thought we had some young men who played a bit tentative for their first time and just didn’t let it go,” coach Randy Edsall said. “Now they understand how hard it is” THE TAKEAWAY

UCF: Heupel’s fast-paced offense is as advertised, putting up 652 yards and scoring eight touchdowns on 11 drives, with each scoring drive taking less than 3 minutes off the clock. “I’m a big fan of coach Huep’s system,” Milton said. “I think it exposes defenses and I think it’s going to be very good for UCF.” UConn: The Huskies seem to have found their quarterback in Pindell. In addition to completing 27 of 41 passes and running 22 times, he had another 50-yard touchdown run called back because of a holding penalty. The Huskies put up 486 yards of offense.

Kenyan IAAF member banned for life By GERALD IMRAY AP Sports Writer

IAAF Council member David Okeyo of Kenya was banned from track and field for life Thursday for his role in diverting hundreds of thousands of dollars of sponsorship money from Nike for his and others’ personal use. It was another case pointing to deep-rooted graft in the sport in Kenya, which has been the most successful distance-running nation in the world for decades but is seeing that reputation eroded by a series of doping and corruption scandals. Those scandals have swept across the Kenyan terrain over the last few years, impli-

cating in various cases athletes, coaches and agents right up to the most senior officials. Okeyo, the former secretary general and a vice president of the Kenyan track federation, is also facing charges of extorting money from athletes in a separate IAAF ethics case that has links to the East African country’s doping crisis. In the Nike money case, evidence indicated that two other high-ranking officials at the Kenyan federation were also involved in funneling off cash. They were former Athletics Kenya president Isaiah Kiplagat, once a long-serving IAAF Council member himself, and former AK treasurer Joseph Kinyua. Kiplagat died in 2016 before he could face charges and Kinyua, although investi-

gators found he was also involved, escaped punishment because he wasn’t bound by the IAAF’s code of ethics at the time of the offenses. Okeyo was, however, guilty of breaching the IAAF’s ethics code on 10 occasions and “over a long period of time,” a three-member IAAF ethics panel said in its written decision. Okeyo’s wrongdoing started as far back as 2004, the panel found. As well as his life ban, Okeyo was fined $50,000, which he was ordered to pay to AK. He was ordered to pay another $100,000 in legal costs to the IAAF. He was also formally expelled as an IAAF Council member. He had been suspended from his roles since 2015.

Patterson, Dickerson win Lost Lake Run Staff report Peninsula Clarion

Scott Patterson and Julianne Dickerson won the 663-runner Lost Lake Run on Saturday in Seward. The run takes place on a 16-mile U.S. Forest Service trail with 2,400 feet of elevation gain and loss. Dickerson finished in 2 hours, 3 minutes, 8 seconds, to edge Jessica Vetsch by 17 seconds. Patterson, who won Crow Pass Crossing earlier this summer, ran 1:37:33 to top the 1:38:41 of Matt Shyrock. Seward’s Mackenzie Barn-

well led the peninsula in the women’s race by finishing 16th in 2:23:36. In the men’s race, former Soldotna resident Derek Gibson ran 1:44:34 to finish sixth, while Lars Arneson, a 2009 graduate of Cook Inlet Academy, was eighth in 1:47:18. Seward’s Erik Johnson was right behind at 1:47:26 for ninth place. Cooper Landing’s Karl Romig was 34th in 2:10:14 to take nine minutes off the 60 to 64 age group record. The race, which began in 1992, has raised more than $2 million for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Sports Briefs NFL sends Kap’s grievance to trial PHILADELPHIA — Colin Kaepernick and his legal team are driving inside NFL territory, forcing the league and its 32 teams to brace for a defensive stand. An arbitrator is sending Kaepernick’s grievance with the NFL to trial, denying the league’s request to throw out the quarterback’s claims that owners conspired to keep him out of the league because of his protests of social injustice. Kaepernick’s lawyer Mark Geragos tweeted a picture Thursday of a ruling by arbitrator Stephen B. Burbank. The NFL declined a request for comment. Kaepernick, who led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance and NFC championship game in consecutive seasons, argues that owners have colluded to keep him off any NFL roster since he hit free agency in 2017. Burbank’s decision means there was sufficient evidence of collusion to keep Kaepernick’s drive going. Now some owners, coaches and team executives will be called to testify during the season, a situation the league hoped to avoid. Kaepernick began a wave of protests by NFL players two seasons ago, kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial inequality. The protests have grown into one of the most polarizing issues in sports, with President Donald Trump loudly urging the league to suspend or fire players who demonstrate during the anthem.

Gronk gets contract loaded with incentives EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots has all the incentives to become the NFL’s highest paid tight end. Agent Drew Rosenhaus said Thursday the Patriots have added $4.3 million in incentives to Gronkowski’s contract for the next two seasons. The deal includes $1 million in per game bonuses and $3.3 million in incentives for catches, playing time and touchdowns. Gronkowski has the potential to make $12.3 million this season and $13.3 next year when his base salary jumps to $9 million. If he hits all the incentives, Gronkowski would be the NFL’s highest paid tight end. He is fourth among tight ends in base salary, trailing Green Bay’s Jimmy Graham ($10 million), Kansas City’s Travis Kelce ($9.36 million) and Washington’s Jordan Reed ($9.35 million). — The Associated Press

Today in History Today is Friday, Aug. 31, the 243rd day of 2018. There are 122 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 31, 1972, at the Munich Summer Olympics, American swimmer Mark Spitz won his fourth and fifth gold medals in the 100-meter butterfly and 800-meter freestyle relay; Soviet gymnast Olga Korbut won gold medals in floor exercise and the balance beam. On this date: In 1886, an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.3 devastated Charleston, South Carolina, killing at least 60 people, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

other week, before both schools finally get into NLC play. The following is a closer look at the weekend’s action: West Valley (3-0) at Soldotna (2-1), 6:30 p.m. Friday For a second consecutive week, the Stars are matched up with the undefeated No. 1 ranked team in the Division II and III weekly poll released by the Alaska Sports Broadcasting Network. However, if common sense prevails, diehard Alaska football fans know better than to put a lot of stock into the poll, which two weeks ago left SoHi out completely. Soldotna head coach Galen Brantley Jr. is taking his typical one-game-at-a-time approach to the Wolfpack. “I certainly don’t put a lot of stock into (the polls) because its apparent that they don’t know what’s going on in the state with football,” Brantley Jr. said. Coming off a 50-21 win over a large Fairbanks team in Lathrop, the Stars continued to shake off a Week 1 loss to West Anchorage with a big second half against the Malamutes, outscoring Lathrop 24-7 in the final 12 minutes to ice a game that Brantley Jr. said should not have been as close to begin with. “I think we didn’t handle some of the adversity early as well,” he said. “We got caught up with things early and drug things out longer than it had to. “But I think we just kind of wore them out eventually by running the football, and it was one of those things … those 3and 4-yard gains early become 8- and 9-yard gains (later).” Tonight, the Stars wrap up four straight weeks of Friday night games with another big matchup with an Interior team, and a No. 1 ranked team for a second week in a row. West Valley is fresh off a 22-7 win over Division I school Chugiak, so Brantley Jr. knows his crew has a big task in front of them. “They have more team speed than anyone we’ve seen,” he said. “They have some guys that can fly.”

The SoHi coach said West Valley’s stable of running backs are tough enough to spread the field and make the team’s passing attack a second obstacle to overcome. Brantley Jr. knows this because he coached the team’s top back, Justin Cummings, two years ago in the annual Shriners game in Anchorage. “Keeping them off the scoreboard is going to be very tough,” Brantley Jr. said. “They can score quickly.” Quarterback Maurice Maiden will start opposite SoHi junior Jersey Truesdell, and Brantley Jr. said Maiden’s favorite targets in Tyrell Johnson and Avery Weston complement the backfield of Cummings, Preston Damario and Isaiah Warner. “It’ll be a very similar game plan for us (as Lathrop),” he said. “We know if we come in, execute well and get our running game going, it’ll give us a good advantage.” North Pole (0-3) at Kenai (12), 2 p.m. Saturday Since Kenai fell 34-6 to Palmer in its home opener last weekend, the Kardinals are hoping for a better showing Saturday in front of their home fans. Head coach Dustin Akana said the same mistakes that the Kards suffered in Week 2 came back to bite them again last week. “It’s the same thing we’ve been saying since Game 1,” he said. “We’re making mental mistakes, and we’re showing them on the film the little mistakes they’ve made. “The biggest thing is if they didn’t make those little mistakes, (it comes down to) how big of a play we would’ve made on offense or defense.” North Pole is winless on the year, but pushed Division I South Anchorage all the way in a 52-32 loss. The Patriots led the game 20-8 at one point in the first half and were still leading at halftime before the Wolverines pulled away. Akana said the Kardinals will need to shut down North Pole running back Bradley Antesberger if they wish to pull out the victory. Antesberger was able to put on 160 yards rushing against the powerhouse SoHi Stars two weeks ago in a North Pole loss.

“We’re keying in on him,” Akana said. “They like to spread their offense, which forces (other teams) to pull the backers and defensive backs out, and give him more room to run.” Akana said the Kardinals defensive secondary — which includes corners Zach Burnett and Titus Riddall, Connor Felchle at safety and Tucker Vann, Ben Grossl, Joey Silvester and Billy Morrow on the linebacking crew — will need to step up to keep the Patriots from running rampant. “We’re preaching for them to trust your technique, trust your reads,” Akana said. “If you read it right, it will take you to the play.” Ketchikan (2-0) at Nikiski (2-1), 5 p.m. Friday Tonight’s conference clash — Nikiski’s first of the season — against the Kings represents a key test for the Bulldogs. Ketchikan is the new team on the block, having moved down a division and into the Peninsula Conference in 2018 after struggling in the former Southeast Conference against powerhouses such as Juneau. Now in Division III, the Kings have run rampant with a 2-0 start to their season, including a 77-0 throttling of Valdez last week. Through two games, the Kings have outscored their opponents 126-14. Nikiski picked up a second straight home win last weekend with a 28-0 shutout over nonconference foe Redington, but the Bulldogs defense will likely need a bigger day to contain the Kings. Homer (0-3) at Houston (21), 7 p.m. Friday The Mariners are still winless after a tough 28-27 home loss last week against the Monroe Catholic Rams, a loss that particularly stung due to an odd call by the officials. According to head coach Walter Love, the Rams took the lead late on a pick-six thrown by Homer QB Anthony Kalugin. The problem came when two separate penalties occurred on the play; first when Kalugin was hit well after the pass for a roughing-the-passer call, and second on a Homer player that was charged with a face mask

call on the intercepting Monroe player. Normally, the two penalties should cancel each other out and bring back the touchdown, but Love said the referee let the score stand after Monroe declined the Homer penalty, but allowed the Monroe penalty to be tacked onto the ensuing kickoff. “They were completely wrong,” Love said. “Maybe we weren’t going to win, but that’s wrong.” Ultimately, Homer came back to score on a touchdown run by Noah Fisk, who finished with a game-high 171 yards, but a missed two-point play with just 1:28 to play spelled the difference for Homer. Love said by Monday, the officials approached him with an apology after realizing their mistake. “I’m not a finger pointer,” Love said. “But my drill is if you have to blame the referee for ruining the game, you’re not playing a good enough football game yourself.” Love said with Houston on the schedule tonight, his team will need to clean up their game if they wish to win, citing several penalties by experienced players that hurt the Mariners last week, and added that a change in defensive tactics was needed. Love said he switched to a four-man defensive secondary, moving from a threeman backfield. Houston’s coming off a big win with a 30-6 drubbing of defending state champion Barrow last week. Love said that automatically makes Houston a tough team. “I think their QB is good at carrying the ball, they set it up nicely with misdirection,” Love said. “We need to keep an eye on containment, and not get burnt on the backside and over contain.” Seward (1-2) at Valdez (0-2), 2 p.m. Saturday

The Seahawks were rolled last week in a 45-0 thrashing by Eielson, winner of three of the last four Division III state titles. However, Valdez is also coming off a bruising loss, a 77-0 dud against Ketchikan. This game therefore comes down to which side can rebound the best from adversity. Seward head coach Kelly Cinereski has stated earlier in the stars Shane Saulivan and Gabe nereski said has carried the ball year his confidence in offensive Schrock, each of whom Ci- well in recent weeks.

Bradley Jr. leads Red Sox past White Sox By The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a sacrifice fly in Boston’s four-run seventh inning and a tiebreaking single in the ninth, helping the Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 9-4 on Thursday night.

Man won’t budge on having surgery to quiet his snoring fine.” The reason for his reluctance is fear of the surgery. It wasn’t wrong of you to ask, and out of consideration for you and the intimacy in your marriage he shouldn’t have refused. However, because he insists on coming into the master bedroom, which he knows wakes you, for the sake of your health, take the other bedroom. Under- Abigail Van Buren stand, the “intimacy bed” does not always have to be the “sleeping bed.” Good sleep quality is necessary for us to function properly. DEAR ABBY: I have five grown children and three grandchildren. They have always come first, especially my grandchildren. When I began the relationship with my husband, I told him how important both were to me and that, no matter what, my grandchildren always came first. He agreed and said he felt the same way. Now, two years into our marriage, my daughter and grandchildren want to come live with us for nine months while her husband is deployed. My husband

is freaking out and keeps complaining every day even though they aren’t even here yet. He has pushed me to my breaking point, and I am not sure what to do. I would never tell him that or act that way toward his children or grandchildren. I’m now considering divorce. What should I do? -- FAMILY FIRST IN THE SOUTH DEAR FAMILY FIRST: I can’t help but wonder how you would REALLY feel if the shoe was on the other foot. Would you be as accommodating as you expect him to be, or would you be panicking, too? Remind your husband that this is what he agreed to before your marriage, and point out that this isn’t forever. It will be for only nine months. Tell him it will be an opportunity for him to get to know the grandkids and vice versa. Who knows? He might even enjoy it. If he’s still unhappy after a reasonable period of time after they arrive, then it may be time to discuss separating. But don’t jump the gun.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 31, 2018: This year you take risks more often than in the past. Once you take on a new attitude, you’ll have difficulty returning to your previous ways. You will clear out what no longer seems relevant. If you are single, you could become involved with someone from a type of background very different from yours. Enjoy this bond, but give yourself time. If you are attached, your and your sweetie’s combined efforts create a special vacation. For this trip, the two of you might sign up for a course to learn a new language. TAURUS can help you think through a problem. 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 might need to take some time off. Make sure your budget works well with potential plans. You do not want to pay for months because of this adventure; you simply want to relax.

Tonight: Join your friends for TGIF. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could experience a jolt once you leave home. Some news involving a friend or associate elicits a strong internal response. No matter what is happening around you, you stay poised and know what is necessary to complete a project. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might need to look beyond the obvious, especially in conversations and one-on-one interactions. Understand what is happening with those around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You find that a loved one is intense and has eyes only for you. How flattering! You might want to decide how involved you want to become.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You like to indulge others; however, you really need to watch your tendency to overspend. You have a lot to do before you feel ready to complete a certain project. You might need to defer to others for now. Tonight: Be willing to say that you are tired, and make it an early night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could have to deal with a problem that you’d prefer to walk away from. Tap into your creativity. You recognize where there is a problem and where a change needs to occur. Before you reveal your thoughts, you might decide how to make this adjustment. Tonight: Time for fun! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Avoid a stubborn attitude, whether it is yours or someone else’s. You could find that enjoying yourself is close to impossible. Let go, and make the most of the moment. You need to honor your sense of direction. Complete what you must. Tonight: Celebrate the night away. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Someone you care about can talk your ear off. If you mention this trait to this person, he or she is likely to become very quiet. Encourage an openness, but limit the time you are together. That solution might work for a few of you. Tonight: Share what is going on with you. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Van Morrison (1945), actor Chris Tucker (1971), actress Sara Ramirez (1975)

A HARD LESSON Dear Heloise: My daughter flew to Canada with her boss and co-workers to a job site. Upon arriving in Canada, my daughter was informed that she could not enter the country for 10 years following a DWI. Her offense was eight years ago! She was so embarrassed. She was put on a plane home. It was a hard lesson learned, but she will never again drive after having a drink. -- A Reader, Crockett, Texas This is a valuable piece of information, and I hope my readers will remember that a DWI stays on your record a very long time. The police are cracking down on drunken drivers, so please, don’t drink and drive. -- Heloise EGGSHELLS Dear Heloise: Eggshells are a great fertilizer for the garden. Break them up into small pieces and mix into the dirt. -Lucille M., New Haven, Ind. Lucille, I like to put all my eggshells in a plastic bag, then crush them up and use in a compost pile, or loosely break them up and scatter on the lawn for the birds. -- Heloise MORE MILEAGE OUT OF MESH Dear Heloise: I have stumbled on a good use for the mesh bags that grocery stores use to package produce like potatoes or onions. We all are aware of their value as storage containers, but you only need a few for that purpose. The rest make wonderful scouring pads. Because the mesh used to make the bags is of various degrees of coarseness, the pads that you make will work well for a wide variety of surfaces. Making the pads is merely the process of cutting pieces of the bags into various sizes. -- Verna H., Sunbury, Ohio

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are happily married, but have one serious problem. Our sleeping habits are incompatible. I am an extremely light sleeper; he is a horrendous snorer. He sees a snoring specialist and tried several medical treatments, none of which worked. The only solution is a minor surgical procedure. He doesn’t want to have the surgery. He insists he “sleeps fine,” and says I’m the one with the problem. I have tried earplugs, white noise machines, sleep medications and more, but I cannot get a decent sleep with the obnoxious snoring. He stays up much later than I do, and I enjoy sleeping in our master bedroom until he comes to bed. I usually get driven out of the room by the noise. We agree we don’t want to sleep in separate rooms and lose the intimacy, but it’s the only option for me to sleep well. Neither of us wants to give up the master bedroom because it’s the only one with an attached bathroom. Am I wrong for asking him to have surgery so we can share a bed? And if he won’t, who should get the master bedroom? -- SLEEPLESS IN LOUISIANA DEAR SLEEPLESS: Let’s be honest. By now your husband knows full well he doesn’t “sleep
