In the news State investigates cauase of oil found at old spill site ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska regulators are investigating after crude oil was discovered along a buried section of the trans-Alaska pipeline north of Fairbanks. Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. has recovered 10 gallons (39 liters) of crude oil discovered Sunday following an excavation at the site south of Atigun Pass, the Anchorage Daily News reported . The oil was discovered in the soil as crews were inspecting a mainline valve, said Michelle Egan, an Alyeska Pipeline spokeswoman. An excavation at the site is continuing, she said Tuesday. “Engineering and field personnel are assessing the situation and developing plans to safely excavate the valve and to determine the cause of crude oil in the excavated area,” Egan said. The oil could have been overlooked from the 2013 oil release, which occurred at the same site, said Ashley Adamczak, an environmental program specialist with the state Department of Environmental Conservation. That release of 21 gallons (79 liters) was linked to soil movement that occurs as tundra freezes and thaws, she said. Inspection crews had expected to find some trace of oil left from that release, but the amount found was more than expected, Adamczak said. “We’re working through Alyeska to develop a cleanup plan, and to figure out if this is contamination left from the 2013 release or whether it is indicative of a new issue at the valve,” Adamczak said.

Magnitude 6.3 quake strikes Aleutians, no damage reported ADAK (AP) — A magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck Wednesday night in Alaska. The Alaska Earthquake Center says the quake occurred in the remote Andreanof Islands region of Alaska, but was felt almost 70 miles (115 km) away in Adak. It had a depth of about 7 miles (11 km). There were no immediate reports of any injuries or damages.

With participants from a broad swathe of the salmon spectrum, the Kenai River Sportfishing Association’s Classic Roundtable discussion Wednesday fo-

sues related to fishing and fisheries management. This year, the panelists focused on science related to recent changes in salmon size and age, the cultural and economic impacts of the declines and market-based strategies to change

Industry Appreciation Day celebrates area businesses By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The community is invited to feast on a roasted pig from the local 4-H club, 360 pounds of salmon fillets, hamburgers, hot dogs, watermelon and more at this year’s Industry Appreciation Day. The event that began as an opportunity to honor industries important to the Kenai Peninsula economy — which still includes booths from a variety of companies and organizations across the peninsula — has turned into a large community picnic. “It’s one opportunity to come out and have a nice family picnic,” Tim Dillon, executive director of Kenai Penin-

sula Economic Development District Inc., said. “Leave your wallet at home.” When the event began 27 years ago, the oil and gas industries were the main highlight. Since then, commercial fishing and tourism have joined in. Last year, the health care industry was also added to the list. “This is an opportunity to say thank you to the industries that help Kenai run,” Dillon said. The frozen T-Shirt contest, an Industry Appreciation Day mainstay for the children, will be expanded this year with an adult contest. There’s still plenty for kids Cody Schaefer, left, and Shayla Smith compete against each other in a net pull at Industry Apto do.

Erosion increases on Homer Spit Index

See FISH, page A8

Alaska needs more troopers, and public safety officials are ramping up efforts to fill the positions. On Wednesday, Alaska State Troopers unveiled a new logo and slogan — “Guardians of the 49th” — aimed at drawing in recruits. The agency also took the rebranding efforts to the Alaska State Fair in Palmer, where on Thursday they showed off two new police vehicles. The recruitment effort comes in the wake of a 2018 study showing a need for an increase in the trooper workforce. The study — the Detachment Patrol Staffing Study and Description of Dispatched Police Incidents — looked at the B Detachment area between 2009 and 2015, and found that the staffing level was “barely adequate” to meet minimum safety requirements. B Detachment includes part of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and portions of the

A series of storms and high tides last week sucked tons of sand and gravel out into Kachemak Bay from the middle of the Homer Spit.The erosion threatens a landmark Homer restaurant, the Glacier Drive-In, and other buildings on the outer bay side of the Spit. The erosion started Monday, Aug. 13, when big waves swept down the Spit along rock riprap that runs from Mariner Park to west of the Glacier Drive-In. Restaurant owner Lee Pedersen said the boardwalk there takes the brunt of the waves. “We’re the first in line,” he said. “Now there’s nothing to stop it.” Standing by a newly cut section parallel to the edge of the beach on Thursday Aug.

State, borough may swap some roads By ELIZABETH EARL Peninsula Clarion

After Monday’s storm, Wise Services repaired the erosion. Then another storm came in on the next tide and washed away the repairs. “We went from heroes to See SPIT, page A8

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and the Kenai Peninsula Borough are talking about swapping a few roads. The roads on the Kenai Peninsula are a mixture of borough-maintained, city-maintained, state-maintained, federally maintained and unmaintained. For the most part, the borough’s roads are gravel, with only about 5 percent of the 630 miles of road being paved. The state maintains more of the major, paved roads like the Kenai Spur Highway. Recently, the Department of Transportation approached the borough about exchanging some of the borough’s roads for state roads. One major road on that list is the Escape Route, a back road linking the neighborhoods of Nikiski to Kenai without having to take the Kenai Spur Highway. The Escape Route is a long gravel road running between Marathon Road, which traverses the marsh lands north of Kenai, to Holt Lamplight Road. It got its name because it See ROADS, page A8

Hurricane Lane weaker, still pummels Hawaii with rain By JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER Associated Press

HONOLULU — Hurricane Lane unleashed torrents of rain and landslides that blocked roads on Hawaii’s mostly rural Big Island on Thursday as residents and tourists in the state’s biggest city braced for the dangerous storm to come their way. Employees of the Sheraton Waikiki resort on the famed Honolulu beach filled up sandbags as shuttered stores stacked them against the bottom of their glass windows to prepare for heavy rain, flash flooding and damaging surf on Oahu, the most populated island. Hurricane Lane, which was still offshore, already lashed the Big Island with nearly 20 inches (50 centimeters) of rain in nearly 24 hours and was moving closer, putting it and Maui “in the thick” of the storm, National Weather Service meteorologist Melissa Dye said. The agency says the storm has weakened to a Category 3 but can still cause major damage. The hurricane with winds from 111 to 129 mph was expected to move close to or over portions of the main islands later Thursday or Friday, bringing dangerous surf of 20 feet (6 meters) and a storm surge of up to 4 feet (1 meter), forecasters said. Lane was not projected to make a direct hit on the islands, but officials warned that even a lesser blow could do significant harm. Some areas could see up to 30 inches (about 80 centimeters) of rain. “Rain has been nonstop for the last half hour or so, and winds are just starting to pick up,” said Pablo Akira Beimler, who lives on the coast in Honokaa on the Big Island. “Our usually quiet stream is raging right now.” Beimler, who posted videos of trees being blown sideways, said staying put is about the only choice he has. The road to Hilo was cut off due to landslides, he said. United Airlines cancelled its Friday flights to and from Maui. The airline added two addition-

al flights from Honolulu to San Francisco on Thursday to help transport people off the islands. Hawaiian Airlines cancelled all Friday flights by its commuter carrier, Ohana by Hawaiian. On Oahu, an island of nearly 1 million people, Elisabeth Brinson watching surfers earlier in the day from her balcony on the ninth floor of the Hawaiian Hilton Village in Waikiki. Later Thursday, police on loudspeakers in Waikiki told surfers and swimmers to get out of the water. They said the beach would be closed until further notice. Hotel staff left a notice that the rooms will still have water and phone service, and a backup generator will power one elevator per building. Brinson, a native of the United Kingdom now living in Denver, said many shops were closed, and those still open were frantic with people buying food, beer and water to take back to their rooms. “We knew it was coming, so I tried to just cram as much as I could into the last few days in anticipation so we could cross things off of our list,” said Brinson, who is accustomed to hur-

ricanes after living in Florida. Hawaii’s biggest hotels are confident they can keep their guests safe as long as they stay inside, said Mufi Hannemann, CEO of Hawaii Tourism and Lodging Association. Members of his association, which include the state’s major hotels, are shifting into high gear with their emergency management plans, he said. The Marriott Resort Waikiki Beach in Honolulu desig-

nated a ballroom on the third floor as a shelter for guests and began removing lounge chairs from around the pool and bar area. The Queen Kapiolani Hotel brought construction equipment inside from a pool deck that’s under renovation. The hotel will encourage guests to stay in their rooms if the weather worsens and evacuate to hallways if it becomes necessary to avoid windows.

Bonnie Letitia Carter Bonnie Letitia Carter of Soldotna, AK, age 75, died at home in Soldotna on Monday, August 20, 2018 surrounded by family, friends and her faithful rescue dog, Ricky. She was born to Harold Lloyd and Gladys Ellen Owen Whitson on April 20, 1943 in Everett, WA. She was the eldest of five children. Harold Wayne Carter Sr. and Bonnie were married in Tonasket, WA on June 20, 1961. The family moved to Ketchikan, AK in 1969 and settled in Kenai, AK in 1975 where they raised their four children Wayne, Meg, Cathy and Shane. Bonnie always had an open door policy. Whether you were human or critter, you were always welcome into their home. An applicable family motto would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more, the merrier.â&#x20AC;? At times, the number of family and friends nestled into their home looked like a cord of wood. The home never lacked animal companionship. For family stopping in, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t uncommon to see a new family pet. Not only would they be helping anyone they opened their door for, she was known for helping complete strangers and hitchhikers. We think she would see them and figure, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, they look like they could use help, why not?â&#x20AC;? She always had an unwavering passion for her family, friends, learning, nature and art â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially painting. The family will be holding a graveside service at 1 p.m. Monday, Aug. 27, 2018 at Spruce Grove Memorial Park Kasilof, AK at Mile 3 K-Beach Road. Following the service, a celebration of life will be held at their home at 50805 Sterling Hwy, Soldotna, AK. Bonnie will be smiling from above knowing that her open door policy is still in affect having her friends and family together under one roof. For more information regarding arrangements, please contact Cathy Carter at (907) 3601848 or Meg Carter at (907) 252-6640. She is survived by her husband Harold Wayne Carter; her brother Kerry Wright; her four children Wayne Carter, Meg Carter, Cathy Carter and Shane Carter; her grandchildren Sasha (Jordan Graham), Keith (Sarah Porter), Steven Carter, Ab-

bie Carter, Brooke Badura, Chance Badura, Korbin Carter and Kalvin Carter. Her great-grandchildren Myla Graham, Adalyn Graham and Kian Porter.

Hope was one of the kindest people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever known. She was strong and determined, never letting anything stand in her way, always finding the best in every situation. Instead of mourning her death, she would have wanted us to celebrate her life.â&#x20AC;? She was preceded in death by her father J.T. Hunt; mother Jewell Gelene Hunt; aunt Eva Nell Karlin and sister Darlene Spratt.

What Others Say

EpiPen a case study in government, business pushing drug prices up A couple of years ago Washington

fell into anaphylactic shock over the high cost of EpiPens, devices that shoot adrenaline into someone having an allergic reaction. But the Trump Administration this week injected some overdue competition into the market that could lower prices for millions of Americans. On Thursday the Food and Drug Administration approved the first generic competitor to Mylan’s EpiPen. The competing drug is manufactured by the Israeli pharmaceutical company Teva. One might wonder why a simple spring device filled with a cheap medicine didn’t have competitors, even decades after invention. That was one question in 2016, when Congress hauled in Mylan CEO Heather Bresch to register outrage about the more than $600 list price of a two-pack of pens, which millions of kids and adults have to keep on hand. Not everyone pays full price after rebates and discounts, and some of the shock came from insurance designs that increased out-of-pocket costs. But the sticker price had increased more than 500% over 10 years. Yet if Mylan kept prices high, the company had help from the FDA. The agency had not articulated standards for a class of drugs known as “complex generics” such as inhalers, which are more fraught than proving similarity to, say, a molecule pill. Mylan thus had no direct competition, though it now sells its own generic copy. Other injectors are on the market but a pharmacist can’t substitute these versions thanks to issues as minor as the instructions for the device, though there is no clinical distinction. Companies like Teva have spent years ensnared in FDA processes, and in the meantime Mylan could increase prices without market consequences. Before he became the current FDA Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb told Congress in 2016 about the “Catch-22” for drugmakers: They couldn’t win approval as a generic because another injection device wasn’t exactly the same as EpiPen, but other regulations also make it hard for competitors to get branded alternatives through the FDA’s new drug approval pathway. Dr. Gottlieb has made clarity for such complex generics a priority at the FDA, and on Thursday he called the Teva device approval part of the agency’s efforts to remove barriers to competition. The approval is particularly timely amid supply shortages of EpiPens. On all the evidence, products face the sharpest price decline when two generics are competing with the branded version. More drugmakers will jump into a market if they see an opportunity to make money and a regulatory agency that doesn’t construct needless barriers to entry. At the time of the EpiPen brouhaha, Hillary Clinton called for a federal “consumer response team” that would rove around and penalize companies for price spikes. The laugh-cry moment is that the Trump Administration has flirted with a response from the Clinton playbook: Importing price controls from Europe for drugs with expired patents that lack competition. President Trump seems to think that drugs are too expensive because of unfettered markets, but the EpiPen episode is a reminder: The real culprit is often not too much freedom but big business exploiting big government to keep prices high. —The Wall Street Journal, Aug. 19, 2018

Hatcheries support strong science and abundance for Alaskans Few things define Alaskans more than our love of salmon. Not surprisingly, salmon allocation decisions and fluctuations in resource abundance often spur bitter political battles between user groups. A robust public process rooted in best available science has long been the arbiter of such disputes. As an Alaskan born and raised on the Kenai, and in my current role as mayor of Cordova, it is with deep consternation that I followed a recent Board of Fisheries evaluation of an emergency petition seeking to restrict hatchery salmon releases in Prince William Sound. The board narrowly voted to reject the petition averting a dangerous departure from best available science, transparency, and public process, the principles that are the bedrock of our management system. The inconsistency of the Cook Inlet salmon runs over the past few years have now arbitrarily pointed to hatchery releases as the culprit. It is understandable that as demand for Cook Inlet salmon expands and catch rates go down, fishermen from all user groups are looking for answers. Unfortunately, we have little control over the likely cause cited by scientists: the recent ocean conditions wreaking havoc on the Gulf of Alaska’s ecosystem. Referred to as “the blob,” the mass of warm water that formed in 2013 and lingered through 2016 stripped the typically bountiful Gulf of Alaska of vital nutrients, creating cascading effects throughout the food chain. Scientists believe it to be responsible for mass die-offs of juvenile cod and salmon — impacts that are clearly visible in this year’s salmon runs. It is important to recognize the resounding success of the hatchery management program. Salmon hatcheries have been a key component of our state’s commercial, recreational, and subsistence fisheries since the 1970s. Alaska’s hatchery program provides immense economic and social benefit to the entire state, particularly coastal

V oices of

A laska C lay K oplin communities like Cordova. The enhanced commercial harvest leads to the creation of processing jobs, fisheries tax revenue, economic investment, and state general fund revenues. An often-overlooked fact is that hatcheries create significant sport fishing opportunities in Prince William Sound and statewide, which increases the summer tourism industry. These benefits are essential to our coastal communities as well as the state, particularly in times of decreasing state budget resources. It is also important that stakeholders remain engaged in the public process and resource management decisions. However, it is also important for Alaskans to remember that our fisheries have remained sustainable because of a commitment on behalf of managers and users who rely on the best available science and data to make informed decisions. Making knee-jerk decisions in response to fluctuations in salmon runs year by year will not serve Alaskans well, particularly when the execution of said decisions could reduce future run potential. The established public process and science-based management in Alaska will keep us moving down the healthy path of promoting and protecting sustainability, feeding Alaskans, feeding the world, and providing wild salmon to all Alaskans for generations to come. Clay Koplin, mayor of Cordova, is a lifelong Alaskan who grew up on the Kenai River where he and his family participated in sportfisheries and founded, as a family, the largest lure manufacturing business

Classic Doonesbury, 1991

in the state. He and his family have subsistence fished for salmon and shellfish, and participated in the first Kenai River personal use dipnet fishery. Clay has witnessed the contributions of salmon hatcheries and releases developed on the Kasilof River, Halibut Cove, Ship Creek and others to enhance opportunities for sportfishing and all user groups.

Nation Immunity for tabloid CEO in Trump probe By JEFF HORWITZ Associated Press

NEW YORK — Federal prosecutors have granted immunity to the executive in charge of the National Enquirer amid an investigation into hush money payments made on behalf of Donald Trump, his longtime friend, media outlets reported on Thursday. Vanity Fair and The Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous sources, were first to report the development involving David Pecker, CEO of the tabloid’s publisher, American Media Inc. Subpoenas were previously served at the company’s Los Angeles offices seeking information about a payment to former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, who says she had a relationship with Trump shortly after his wife gave birth to his youngest child, according to a person familiar with the matter who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Court papers connected to ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s guilty plea on Tuesday to campaign finance violations, bank fraud and tax evasion say Pecker offered to help Trump fend off negative stories during the 2016 presidential campaign. Pecker “offered to help deal with negative stories about (Trump’s) relationships with women by, among other things, assisting the campaign in identifying such stories so they could be purchased and their publication avoided,” the court papers say.

The Journal reported Pecker shared with prosecutors details about payments that Cohen says Trump directed in the weeks and months before the election to buy the silence of McDougal and another woman alleging an affair, porn star Stormy Daniels. Daniels was paid $130,000. McDougal was paid $150,000. While Trump denies the affairs, his account of his knowledge of the payments has shifted. In April, Trump denied he knew anything about the Daniels payment. He told Fox News in an interview aired Thursday that he knew about payments “later on.” In July, Cohen released an audio tape in which he and Trump discussed plans to buy McDougal’s story from the Enquirer. Such a purchase was necessary, they suggested, to prevent Trump from having to permanently rely on a tight relationship with the tabloid. “You never know where that company — you never know what he’s gonna be —” Cohen says. “David gets hit by a truck,” Trump says. “Correct,” Cohen replies. “So, I’m all over that.” Vanity Fair reported that American Media’s chief content officer, Dylan Howard, also was granted immunity. AMI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump’s relationship with the National Enquirer has been cozy for decades. Former Enquirer employees who spoke to

HONOLULU — Hurricane Lane soaked Hawaii’s Big Island on Thursday, dumping 12 inches of rain in as many hours as residents stocked up on supplies and tried to protect their homes ahead of the state’s first hurricane since 1992. The National Weather Service warned that some areas could see up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) before the system passes. Bands of rain extended 350 miles (566 kilometers) from the hurricane’s center. Lane was not projected to make direct hit on the islands, but officials warned that even a lesser blow could do significant harm. “You do not need a direct strike to have major impacts from a hurricane this strong,” said Steve Goldstein, a meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Washington. The center of the Category 4 storm was predicted to move close to or over portions of the main islands later Thursday or Friday, bringing dangerous surf of 20 feet and a storm surge of up to 4 feet, forecasters said. Tropical storm conditions, with winds of 73 mph (118 kph), were expected to reach the Big Island, Hawaii’s easternmost major island, later Thursday, with hurricane conditions possible after that. As of 8 a.m., the hurricane was 290 miles (466 kilometers) south of Honolulu and moving northwest at 7 mph. Maximum winds had weakened slightly to 130 mph, the National Weather Service said. Pablo Akira Beimler, who lives on the coast in Honokaa on the Big Island, said the road to Hilo was cut off due to landslides. “Rain has been nonstop for the last half hour or so and winds are just starting to pick up,” Beimler said as he posted videos of trees being blown sideways. “Our usually quiet stream is raging right now.” He said staying put is about the only choice he has. “We essentially have one way in and out of our towns so sheltering in place is the priority,” Beimler said in a Twitter message. Two campers were reported trapped overnight in Waipio Valley, along the Big Island’s northern coast. The campers called authorities Wednesday, but emergency crews could not mount a rescue operation.

“We can’t go in because the roads — there’s a river of water down there,” said Hawaii County Managing Director Wil Okabe. Landslides had closed some roads. In addition, there were reports of boulders falling into a park in Hilo on the east side of the island, Okabe said. Shelters opened Wednesday on the Big Island and on the islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai. Officials urged those needing the Molokai shelter to get there soon because of concerns that the main highway on the island’s south coast could become impassable. On the island of Oahu, shelters were scheduled to open Thursday. Aid agencies were also working to help Hawaii’s sizeable homeless population, many of whom live near beaches and streams that could flood. Because there’s not enough shelter space statewide, Hawaii Emergency Management Agency Administrator Tom Travis urged people who were not in flood zones to stay home. On the island of Lanai, it was eerily dead still and gray, said Nick Palumbo II, who owns

The Associated Press said that negative stories about Trump were dead on arrival dating back to when he starred on NBC’s reality show “The Apprentice.” In 2010, at Cohen’s urging, the National Enquirer began promoting a potential Trump presidential candidacy, referring readers to a pro-Trump website Cohen helped create. With Cohen’s involvement, the publication began questioning President Barack Obama’s birthplace and American citizenship in print, an effort that Trump promoted for several years, former staffers said. The Enquirer endorsed Trump for president in 2016, the first time it had ever officially backed a candidate. In the news pages, Trump’s coverage was so favorable that the New Yorker magazine said the Enquirer embraced him “with sycophantic fervor.”

Positive headlines for Trump, a Republican, were matched by negative stories about his opponents, including Hillary Clinton, a Democrat: An Enquirer front page from 2015 said “Hillary: 6 Months to Live” and accompanied the headline with a picture of an unsmiling Clinton with bags under her eyes. According to two people familiar with American Media Inc., contracts and documents related to Trump hush money payments were stored in a safe housed within a senior editor’s office. The records, which included documents pertaining to McDougal’s contract and other potentially embarrassing Trump stories, were stored alongside similar documents pertaining to other celebrities’ catch-and-kill deals, in which exclusive rights to people’s stories were bought with no intention of publishing to keep them out of the news.

Hurricane Lane soaks Hawaii with a foot of rain By JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER Associated Press

BOZEMAN, Mont. — An Oregon man has been sentenced to 130 days in jail after pleading guilty to misconduct in two national parks, including harassing a bison that had stopped traffic in Yellowstone National Park. Raymond Reinke’s crimes drew national attention when at least one Yellowstone visitor caught his interaction with a bison on video . Reinke, of Pendleton, Oregon, pleaded guilty Thursday during a federal court appearance in Mammoth, Wyoming. U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Carman sentenced him to 60 days in jail for harassing wildlife, 60 days for interfering with law enforcement and 10 days for disorderly conduct, ABC Fox Montana reports . He was given credit for 21 days served. Reinke, 55, is banned from Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier national parks for a five-year probationary period during which he is not allowed to drink alcohol. He also must undergo chemical dependency treatment. He apologized for his actions. “I’m sorry to the buffalo. He didn’t deserve what I did to him,” Reinke said. In the video, Reinke is seen walking up to a bison in a roadway congested with stopped cars and waving his arms. The animal charges him a couple times, but he was not injured. A federal prosecutor described Reinke’s behavior as the most egregious case of animal harassment they’d seen in Yellowstone. The judge told Reinke: “You’re lucky the bison didn’t take care of it, and you’re standing in front of me,” Carman said. Reinke was first cited for public intoxication and interfering with law enforcement in Grand Teton National Park. He spent a night in jail before posting a $500 bond. A few days later he was cited in Yellowstone for intentionally disturbing wildlife and having an open container of alcohol, but rangers there were unaware of the conditions of his bond, which required him to remain law-abiding and avoid alcohol.

Appeals court rejects officer’s ‘stand your ground’ defense WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A criminal case can move forward against a fired Florida police officer accused of unlawfully killing a stranded black motorist. A three-judge state appeals court panel unanimously rejected a claim Thursday without comment from attorneys for Nouman Raja. They had argued a circuit judge erred by dismissing the former Palm Beach Gardens officer’s contention that he’s protected by Florida’s stand your ground law. Raja is charged with manslaughter for the 2015 death of 31-year-old Corey Jones. Raja is of South Asian descent. Raja shot Jones alongside a darkened highway where Jones’ SUV broke down. Raja was dressed in plainclothes and driving an unmarked van. Prosecutors say he never identified himself as an officer, causing Jones to mistake him for a robber and pull a handgun. Jones had a concealed weapons permit.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A family friend says Ed King, a former guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd who helped write several of their hits including “Sweet Home Alabama,” has died in Nashville, Tennessee. He was 68. Scott Coopwood said in a statement that King died on Wednesday due to cancer. King joined the band in 1972 and was part of their first three albums with their distinct three-guitar sound. He left the band two years before a plane crash killed two singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines in 1977. He rejoined the group 10 years later and played with them until he retired in 1996 due to heart problems. King was also an original member of the California psychedelic group Strawberry Alarm Clock, which had a hit with “Incense and Peppermints” in 1967. — The Associated Press

IS releases new audio of its leader, al-Baghdadi The Associated Press

BEIRUT — The Islamic State group has released a new militant audio recording, purportedly of its shadowy leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, his first in almost a year. In the audio, al-Baghdadi — whose whereabouts and fate remain unknown — urges followers to “persevere” and continue fighting the group’s enemies everywhere. The 54-minute audio entitled “Give Glad Tidings to the Patient” was released by the extremist group’s central media arm, al-Furqan Foundation, on Wednesday evening. The audio’s authenticity could not be independently verified and there were no clues as to where it was recorded. The question of whether alBaghdadi is dead or alive has been a continuing source of mystery and confusion. The extremist group has lost around 90 percent of territory it controlled in Iraq and Syria in 2014, when IS declared its socalled “caliphate.”

He is believed to be hiding somewhere in the desert that stretches across the SyrianIraqi border region. His last audio message was on Sept. 28, 2017 in which he called on his followers to burn their enemies everywhere and target “media centers of the infidels.” In Wednesday’s recording, al-Baghdadi congratulates followers on the occasion of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Ada and makes references to current events, including Turkey’s row with the United States over its detention of American pastor Andrew Brunson. If the voice on the audio is confirmed to be that of alBaghdadi, this would date the message to this month and disprove reports of his death. “America is going through the worst time in its entire existence,” al-Baghdad says, adding that Russia is competing with the U.S. over regional influence and clout. He also criticizes surrenders by the rebels in southern Syria to President Bashar Assad’s

forces, calling them traitors and urges fighters to join the Islamic State group instead. He also urges patience, perseverance and continued jihad, or holy war. Al-Baghdadi has only appeared in public once in 2014 in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. There have been recur-

ring reports of his death or injury, including reports by Russian officials last year who said there was a “high probability” that al-Baghdadi was killed in a Russian airstrike on the outskirts of the Syrian city of Raqqa. U.S. officials later said they believed he was still alive.

British woman freed temporarily from Iranian prison By DANICA KIRKA Associated Press

LONDON (AP) — BritishIranian charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe left an Iranian prison for a three-day furlough Thursday — a breakthrough in the case that her family hopes will lead to permanent freedom. Richard Ratcliffe said his wife was released from Evin prison and has been reunited in Iran with her 4-year-old daughter Gabriella. The Free Nazanin campaign released images showing the beaming mother hugging her child and clutching a bouquet of roses. “Gabriella had picked some flowers from the family garden, and was waiting to present them — the tradition she has seen for

families waiting outside Evin prison. Gabriella has promised to show her the garden, and also her dolls house,” Richard Ratcliffe said. “She (Nazanin) was very happy on the phone, though confessed to having cried lots, particularly when seeing her grandmother, and to being still overwhelmed.” Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested during a holiday with her toddler daughter in April 2016. Iranian authorities accused her of plotting against the government. Her family denies this, saying she was in Iran to visit family. A former employee of the BBC World Service Trust, Zaghari-Ratcliffe worked for the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the charitable arm of the news agency.

Around the World

Former British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was heavily criticized last year after he claimed Zaghari-Ratcliffe was “teaching people journalism” when she was arrested. Although Johnson later corrected himself, Iranian state television highlighted his comments as justification for imprisoning her. In an unusual move, Iran’s ambassador to London, Hamid Baeidinejad, posted a tweet on the release, offering a link to the image of mother and child. “She immediately joined her four-year-old daughter, Gabriella who welcomed her mom with flowers,” he said. “Lovely picture.” As recently as May, ZaghariRatcliffe learned that she faced a new charge of “spreading pro-

paganda against the regime,” her husband said. It remains unclear if that threatened charge remains in play. Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s release also comes as London is considering repaying Tehran about 400 million British pounds from a pre-1979 arms deal. Richard Ratcliffe thanked Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who recently took over from Johnson as foreign secretary. “Really good news that Nazanin has been released on furlough, credit to tireless campaigning by husband Richard and her friends,” Hunt tweeted . “But being in prison AT ALL is gross injustice and she must be PERMANENTLY released for which every effort will continue.”

SANAA, Yemen — Saudi-led coalition airstrikes killed nearly 30 people in Yemen on Thursday, including four women and 22 children, Shiite rebel media reported. But the state media of United Arab Emirates, a key coalition member, disputed the claim and said the rebels launched the attack, killing one child and injuring dozens. Mohammed Abdul-Salam, spokesman for the Houthi rebels, said on Twitter the coalition attack took place in the adDurayhimi district, 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) from the port city Hodeida in the country’s west. Other Houthi officials provided lower initial figures saying at least nine were killed. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media. The UAE’s official news agency WAM, however, reported that the Houthis launched a ballistic missile in the area killing one child and injuring dozens. Neither side’s claims could be independently verified. Earlier this month, a Saudi-led coalition airstrike in the country’s north killed dozens of people. Tebel-run Al-Masirah reported at least 51 people, including 40 children, were killed and 79 others, including 56 children, were wounded in the airstrike, citing the Yemeni Health Ministry in the capital Sanaa, which is under rebel control. The Saudi-led coalition said it would investigate. Also on Thursday, the Houthis claimed to have hit a Saudi target in the kingdom’s waters but the coalition said the attack was thwarted. Al Masirah TV reported that the rebels “hit a military target with a suitable weapon.” It quoted an unnamed Houthi official as saying the target was hit “accurately.” The Saudi state-run al-Ekhbariya TV channel, citing the coalition, reported that an attack by an explosives-laden boat was thwarted and that “necessary measures” were taken to protect the coalition’s commercial vessels.

Man in Germany killed when AA-battery charger explodes BERLIN — Police say a man in Germany has died after a battery-charging device exploded, firing an object into the man’s chest. A spokesman for Hamburg police said Thursday the incident happened a day earlier in an office building in the city’s St. Pauli district. Police spokesman Florian Abbenseth told The Associated Press that “due to the force of the explosion a 26-year-old received life-threatening injuries. He later died.” Co-workers were treated for shock after the incident. Abbenseth said the device that exploded was “a regular charger for two AA batteries” of the kind used in small electronic devices such as radios. He said the cause of the explosion was still being investigated and wasn’t immediately able to name the make or model of the charging device. —The Associated Presss

Mormon church ramps up opposition to medical marijuana plan in Utah SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Mormon church ramped up its opposition Thursday to a proposal that would allow medical marijuana in Utah, even as faith leaders insisted they support suffering patients using it under strict controls. A leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints took the unusual step of speaking publicly against the ballot initiative at a news conference with state heavy-hitters, marking the latest move in the increasingly fierce fight over medical marijuana in the deeply conservative, majorityMormon state. The church is “deeply concerned” that the proposal being decided by voters in November doesn’t have enough oversight, said Jack Gerard, a member of a mid-level global church leadership panel called the General Authority of the Seventy. Leaders don’t object, however, to patients using the drug if it is prescribed by a doctor and dispensed by a pharmacy, he said in a statement. But meeting those conditions would be impossible under federal law, said medical marijuana advocate DJ Schanz, who accused leaders of “double-speak.” The proposal would be more conservative than other laws on medical marijuana, which is legal in 30 states. Utah’s measure doesn’t allow pot smoking. It would create a state-regulated growing and dispensing operation to allow people with certain medical conditions to get a card and use the drug in edible forms, lotions or electronic cigarettes. Opponents say it could lead to recreational marijuana. The Drug Safe Utah coalition pushing back against the plan Thursday included doctors, police officers and public figures like Utah Jazz president Steve Starks. A handful of emotional patients also spoke, saying medical pot had life-changing effects on their health conditions but they still oppose the plan known as Proposition 2 as too broad. Nathan Frodsham, who is Mormon, said he’s previously spoken out in favor of the ballot initiative but is now convinced that a church-backed coalition will help “create something better, indeed, greater.” The faith has long frowned upon medical marijuana use because of a key church health code called the “Word of Wisdom,” which prohibits coffee as well as alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs.

. . . Fish

bers of the public ask whether the populations of pink salmon they produce are harming wild stock sustainability. Research indicates that the North Pacific Ocean has more salmon in it now than at any point in the last 100 years, with about 40 percent of it coming from hatcheries, said Dr. Peter Rand, a researcher with the Prince William Sound Science Center who is leading a research project on the interactions of ocean climate and at-sea competition on Alaskan salmon. The research he is leading, funded through the State of Alaska’s Salmon and People project, examines specifically the marine phase of the salmon life cycle, focusing on pink salmon. Prince William Sound’s hatcheries produce the most pink salmon of any region, prompting questions of how their presence affects the wild stocks in those streams and how increasing the production impacts the ocean ecology of the Gulf of Alaska. One thing they’re seeing so far is large changes in the food web — particularly with plankton — in the odd and even years with the pink salmon fluctuations. “One of the key things… would be the term ‘interaction,”’ he said. “We’re particularly interested in interacting. Our hypothesis is that in years of relatively warm water, particularly in the West Coast, the lower range of Pacific salmon, that translates into poorer survival of young salmon entering the ocean. We think that when you add density dependence to that, these stocks will become even more vulnerable.” The Kenai River Sportfishing Association was one of more than a dozen stakeholder groups that petitioned the state Board of Fisheries earlier this year to stop a Valdez-area hatchery from increasing its egg take to thus increase its salmon production. The board denied the petition and allowed the egg take to proceed, but some board members said they understood the groups’ concerns about the effect of increasing salmon production on the Gulf of Alaska and thus other salmon. The research Rand’s group

is doing isn’t creating a direct link between the number of pink salmon and the survival or size of other salmon, but it’s true that as the number of hatchery salmon released into the North Pacific has increased, Alaskans have noted a decline in the size of returning salmon. Another research project coordinated through the State of Alaska’s Salmon and People project is investigating the cause of that decline, and though the decline is real, there’s “no smoking gun,” said researcher Krista Oke. That decline in size has had serious implications for subsistence fishermen on the Kuskokwim River, said Mary Peltola, a fellow in the Alaska Humanities Forum’s Alaska Salmon Fellows program. The river has historically supported a commercial fishery as well as a subsistence harvest of more than 80,000 king salmon, which the rural residents depend on for food in the winter months. With the smaller size and restrictions, it’s negatively impacted the communities. “We’re talking about a group of people who have a lot of food insecurity issues anyway and chinook (salmon) was really a cornerstone of our subsistence larder,” she said. “Most of our freezers had a huge portion of it devoted to our king salmon dried fish.” She and the two other speakers from the Salmon Fellows program — Kenai River Sportfishing Association Executive Director Ricky Gease and Tanana Chiefs Conference director of hunting and fishing task force Ben Stevens — all spoke about the economic and social impacts of declining king salmon runs in their areas. Gease cited the closures of sportfishing-related businesses on the peninsula and the restricted commercial fishing in Cook Inlet. Stevens said the declining Yukon River salmon runs that led to closures have contributed to social “chaos” in the rural villages that have circulated around salmon harvest for generations. Partly in response to salmon declines, a group of Cook Inlet east side setnet fishermen has been working with Kenai River Sportfishing Association

and the Legislature to pitch the idea of a permit buyback in the fishery — essentially, a voluntary program for setnetters to be bought out of their permits to reduce the number of nets in the water by about 45 percent. Sen. Peter Micciche (R-Soldotna), sponsored a bill (Senate Bill 135) during the last legislative session that would create a buyback program, though it wouldn’t appropriate funds. Micciche said he sponsored it at the request of some of the setnetters after several years of discussion and would craft it so they would have the final vote on the buyback in the end. With no state funding planned for the buyback, the supporters are looking to federal and private funds to support the estimated $50–60 million total cost, at about $260,000 per permit. Similar market-based solutions — as opposed to regulatory restrictions — have been implemented in other fisheries. The North Pacific Fishery Management Council is in the process of implementing a recreational quota purchasing system for the halibut charter fleet, which sets up a willing buyer-seller model for charter In the end, reducing the number of permits would increase the profitability of the fishery for those who keep fishing and reduce conflict, which makes it a win-win, Micciche said. “I really ask people to be open to the discussion,” he said. “The continued battle where we all mutually lose ground on the resource does not seem to be working, I most of us will agree.” No hearings were scheduled after the bill was introduced last session. Micciche said at the time the bill is a draft and won’t be scheduled for committee hearings until the stakeholders have had a chance to review it and offer comments. In answer to a question, Gease said the Kenai River Sportfishing Association board has worked on the permit buyback plan with the fishermen and “will help in whatever way we can.”

believed the need for troopers in the other areas matched or was greater than the 57 percent increase required in the Mat-Su detachment. Statewide, the Department of Public Safety is authorized to maintain a 300-person Alaska State Trooper workforce and 89 Wildlife Troopers, according to an Alaska Department of Public Safety Recruitment and Retention Plan Overview for 2018-2023. Currently, the state has 337 commissioned troopers, Taylor said. High retirement rates, lack of statewide fiscal stability and better opportunities elsewhere have all contributed to the decline in trooper numbers, according to the plan overview,

which noted that the reduced number of positions and the inability to fully staff all budgeted positions have negatively impacted morale, training and overtime costs. “The budget climate, reduced resources, inadequate wages and the inability to provide a defined benefits retirement system have placed the department as critically low staffing levels. Low staff and reduced funding is detrimental to the departments ability to effectively deliver core public safety services,” the report said. According to the report, 33 percent of employees at ranks of trooper, corporal and sergeant and 94 percent of command staff will be eligible

to retire within the next five years. Troopers who have trained and served in Alaska are also highly marketable to other law enforcement agencies, making retention challenging, Taylor said. “Our troopers are very sought after,” he said. Along with the branding efforts, troopers have been doing outreach at local job fairs and online and have created a promotional video. Taylor credits the recruitment efforts to increasing the number of academy enrollees from nine last spring to 22 this fall.

six years ago, Pedersen has made extensive repairs to the Glacier Drive-In boardwalk going back to 2016. In 2017 he spent about $100,000 to rebuild the wooden deck with steel beams, and drove new steel pilings to support the boardwalk. “If I hadn’t done that, this building would have fallen off,” Pedersen. “…I’m just trying to save a Homer landmark.” Last week’s erosion also destroyed a section of beach in front of tent camping sites west of the Glacier Drive-In. In years past campers could drive along the beach and have room to pitch tents. The city moved a campground office building several years ago when the threat of erosion increased. “There’s a bunch of property there that has become a lot narrower, not just the city property we use for tent camping,” Meyer said. “There’s barely a strip of land left for tent camping.” Pedersen said he thinks the long-term solution is to extend the seawall along the Spit Road to his property. “We will not save the Spit unless we put in armor rock,” he said. The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities has looked at the potential impact to the Spit Road, but has determined erosion isn’t impacting state infrastructure at this time, said Shannon McCarthy, a DOT spokesperson.

zeroes,” John Wise said. On Aug. 16, Wise and his brother Nathan Wise worked to fill in a big sinkhole that boiled up in front of the Glacier DriveIn stairs. A pile of concrete slabs and gabions, or large wire boxes filled with gravel, hold up the parking lot in front of the Glacier Drive-In boardwalk. The boardwalk extends out from the parking lot, set on large steel pilings pounded into the beach. The gabions and armor rock kept the parking lot from falling into the bay. Even then, the storm washed out gravel from behind the retaining wall. “If he hadn’t done that, he might be in more serious trouble,” said Homer Public Works Director Carey Meyer. Because of the erosion and repairs needed, Pedersen closed the Glacier Drive-In a few days early. He had planned on closing last weekend anyway. The storm also had washed away sand and gravel covering a sewer line next to the Glacier Drive-In. Meyer said city workers covered the line with dredge spoils. One of the ironies of beach movement on the Spit is that sand eroded from the middle of the Spit gets swept down to the end of the Spit and into channels by the harbor mouth Reach Michael Armstrong at that then needs to be dredged.

salmon fishery allocation. Presiding as the keynote speaker was National Marine Fisheries Service Assistant Administrator Chris Oliver, who previously lived in Alaska for 27 years and served as the executive director of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council. Since taking the role as the head of the National Marine Fisheries Service, which among other functions regulates fisheries in federal waters and enforcing the Marine Mammal Protection Act, he said he’s made a few adjustments to overall identified goals and gotten a broad perspective on issues in fisheries nationwide. “You’ve seen over the past year a number of executive orders from the president that are specifically aimed at cutting red tape and reducing regulatory burden,” he said. “We’ve been aggressively pursuing that agenda and have made what I think are pretty good strides already.” One of those adjustments is to encourage aquaculture. There’s some room for additional harvest on wild stocks of fish nationally, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration wants to find ways to encourage people to pursue successful aquaculture, Oliver said. “We don’t have a lot of headroom on our wild capture federal fisheries, but the growing population of the world and thea mount of coastline that we have, promoting marine aquaculture is a huge initiative of this administration,” he said. “I know in Alaska, particularly with finfish aquaculture, that’s not always a welcome prospect, but nobody’s going to be forcing anybody to undertake marine aquaculture.” Aquaculture is a major player in Alaska’s seafood economy now, with salmon hatcheries spaced along the Gulf of Alaska from Kodiak to Ketchikan, and no small source of controversy. The Prince William Sound and Lower Cook Inlet hatcheries in particular have come under fire in the last few years as mem-

What’s in a name? T

here are a lot of glaciers around here. Driving, flying, boating around you can stumble across a glacier you may never have seen or heard of, but it’s safe to say it has a name, whether official or unofficial. The most well known, of course, is Exit Glacier. The brief way to tell the story is “Jewel’s grandfather traversed the Harding Icefield from Homer to Seward and exited on Exit Glacier.” But, after doing a little more research, one can find that a 10-person mountaineering party, including Yule and Otto Kilcher, became the first to successfully cross the Harding Icefield in 1968. Starting from Chernof Glacier, the adventurers trekked east until they found themselves descending Resurrection Glacier. Newspapers reported that the team had made it and found their way down the “Exit Glacier,” and the new name stuck. At the beginning of that story, though, is Chernof Glacier, which was named in 1913 for Ivan Chernof, an employee of the Russian American Fur Company. And while the newspaper renamed Resurrection to Exit Glacier, Chernof was named by A.H. Brooks of the U.S. Geological Survey. There’s also a 3.5-mile long glacier in the Kenai Mountains named Dinglestadt Glacier for Chernof’s companion, Konstantin Dinglestadt. In 1834, while working with the fur company, the pair explored the west coast of the Kenai Peninsula, earning each of themselves a glacier in the process. While on gold and coal-mining expeditions, Russian geologist Petr Doroshin visited Resurrection Bay and “described a landscape in which glaciers known by Russian names cascaded down the mountainous entrance to the deep bay,” according to the National Park Service, which has wonderful resources on how a lot of the beautiful features in Kenai Fjords National Park and beyond got their names. The Russian names that Doroshin heard didn’t stick, though, and the cascading glaciers have found new names. Aialik Glacier was named by geologists U. S. Grant and D. F. Higgins of the USGS, interpreting a Russian recording of an Eskimo name for the glacier, Bukh(ta) Ayalikskaya. From there, Grant and Higgins went on a naming spree. Grant, who was the chair of the geology department at Northwestern University, decided to name Holgate Glacier, also in Aialik Bay, for the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the college, Dr. Thomas F. Holgate. (Not to be outdone, last month my co-worker brought in some doughnuts for us all to share.) Grant did get familial, and named Addison Glacier after his See BLUE, page B2

Area teams look to sustain momentum By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

A dreadful 0-5 combined start to the football season among Kenai Peninsula schools turned much rosier last week, as local teams returned to the turf to post a combined 4-1 record. Soldotna, Kenai Central, Nikiski and Seward all won Week 2 contests after dropping their season openers. The Homer Mariners were the lone peninsula school to stay winless on the year, but their 58-6 loss allowed Kenai its first win. “It’s a huge relief,” said Kenai head coach Dustin Akana, who picked up

his first career head coaching win. “It’s good for the boys to get a ‘W’ and get some positivity flowing through the team.” With the turn in fortune comes a turn in expectations, as teams now have a solid base of experience to work with and determine weaknesses and strengths. SoHi’s first win of the season, a 66-19 thrashing of North Pole, gave the Stars coaching staff more ideas to pick at, and while head coach Galen Brantley Jr. was pleased to see improvements over Week 1, he believes the Stars are far from operating at full capacity just yet. “It was an important game to win,

another chance to kind of test ourselves and see if we’ve improved,” Brantley Jr. said. “I don’t put a lot of stock in our win-loss record, I just want to see if we improved. “We found plenty of stuff to improve on in the film.” Nikiski head coach Paul Nelson left the field last Saturday feeling good about the Bulldogs’ victory over Division III opponent Valdez. “It’s definitely nice to get the win,” he said. “The kids feel good about it and they get a taste for some winning ways. It leads to a good week of practice.” Peninsula squads have yet to play a conference game, and that trend con-

Christiansen picked up his 151st career win — all with Palmer — that day to become the winningest head coach in the state. See PREP, page B4

Everybody has a chance. When it came to getting to the state volleyball tournament, even in peak cycles, that couldn’t be said of all the Kenai Peninsula’s teams in recent seasons. Now that Kenai Central, which hasn’t been to state since 2005, has moved to the Class 3A Southcentral Conference from the Class 4A Northern Lights Conference, the path to state has reasonable obstacles for everybody. Tracie Beck returns to the Kenai sideline after a season off. Before that, she spent six

Phils’ Nola gets best of Nats’ Scherzer By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Aaron Nola outdueled Max Scherzer in a meeting of All-Star aces, Odubel Herrera hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals 2-0 Thursday. Nola (15-3) was masterful in his matchup with the three-time Cy Young Award winner, allowing five hits and one walk. He escaped his biggest jam with his final pitch, striking out Bryce Harper with runners on first and second to end the eighth. Nola struck out nine and finished with a 2.13 ERA — the exact same

ERA as Scherzer. Scherzer (16-6) was nearly as good in the first matchup of starters with at least 150 innings and a sub-2.25 ERA since St. Louis’ John Tudor faced Mets ace Dwight Gooden on Sept. 11, 1985. Scherzer gave up two hits in seven innings and struck out 10, increasing his major league-leading total to 244. Pat Neshek pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.

It was the first meeting between the teams since the Aug. 15 game in which Miami starter Jose Urena earned a sixgame suspension by plunking Acuna on his first and only pitch. This time, no hysterics broke out. And in the end, it was more of the same for Sean Newcomb and the Braves when they face the Marlins. Newcomb (11-7) allowed two hits and struck out eight in six shutout innings, improving to 4-0 with a 0.75 ERA in four starts against Miami this BRAVES 5, MARLINS 0 season.

Laying a foundation for biological diversity

spent considerable time this summer trekking around grasslands in the Caribou Hills with a giant red hula hoop (to survey vegetation), a net and trowel (to survey arthropods above and below ground), and gallons of water mixed with mustard powder (to detect earthworms), all in the name of science. Our goal? To find out what lives there, how it all fits together, and what we might want to do to manage this evolving habitat on and around the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. I actually experienced vertigo out there a few times — Grasslands in the Caribou Hills, dominated by the native but invasive bluejoint reedgrass, sup- when the wind whips around, it port a seemingly sparse arthropod and plant community.

A native but aggressively colonizing species, bluejoint expanded on parts of the Caribou Hills after repeated, unprecedented disturbances from both beetle-kill and humancaused wildfires in spring killed the spruce trees previously growing here. Bluejoint is undoubtedly the

ruler of this landscape, but what are its subjects and does it support a diverse biological community? We hypothesize that it actually does the opposite by excluding many species due to its thick, rhizomatous mat. If our data confirm this, our next step is to find out which species could help enrich biodiversity in this novel landscape, sustaining resilience in a rapidly warming future. We seek to find a “foundation species.” Dr. Paul Dayton, from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, coined the term a half century ago while conducting research at the famous McMurdo Station scientific base in Antarctica.

species disproportionately influence the structure of their respective ecological communities by creating or maintaining the organization of a suite of interacting species that would otherwise not persist. Dayton discovered that beneath the ice of McMurdo Sound, a handful of species was key to laying the “foundation” for a resilient and diverse benthic community. When sewage from the research base disturbed the system, the relationships among predator (starfish), detritivore (starfish) and prey (sponges) became off-balanced with a predictive loss of other species through

changes in relationships, nutrients and habitat structure. Dayton concluded that focusing on foundation species would allow a rapid understanding of how a community as a whole would react to disturbances, rather than attempting to understand responses of all species simultaneously. What are examples of foundation species here in the boreal biome? North American beavers directly create ecosystem structure by altering hydrology that benefits certain assemblages of vascular plant species, and altering biochemistry by slowing water currents that trap sediments and pollutants. They indirectly support vertebrate (including moose) and invertebrate populations that occupy beaver-modified landscapes. Eastern hemlock, in North America’s northeastern forests, is also a

CIA soccer wins

Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team opened its season by notching a 2-1 victory over Susitna Valley High School on Thursday in Borealis Conference play. The Rams, the runner-up in the conference a year ago, started the scoring in the 17th minute after Addie Nelson and Linnaea Dohse had opportunities early for Cook Inlet. From there on out, CIA goalie Lucas Cragg would keep a clean sheet. “He had a terrific game,” Eagles coach Kenny Leaf said. “He made important saves coming off

the line.” In the 25th minute, Hunter Moos won a ball, settled it and scored. At halftime, Leaf told his team to keep possession of the ball and take advantage of the opportunities presented by that. In the 48th minute, the midfield switched the ball, then James Anderson found Dohse in the box for the winning goal. Leaf said midfielders Addie Nelson, Sophie Nelson and Adara Warren were vital in helping the team keep possession.

foundation species. The removal of this dominant species initially increases biodiversity as the understory changes to early successional species but, in the longer term, simplifies structural diversity and ecosystem regulation (even the water table!) as the forest matures along a different ecological trajectory. As a rapidly warming climate moves us toward a no-analog future with dire expectations of mass extinction, it challenges us to rethink how best to manage landscapes for wildlife. Perhaps here on the Kenai Peninsula, could we help ameliorate the global biodiversity crisis by using foundation species as the biological engineers that they are? And how does our management response to a changing landscape fit into the larger conservation picture — 300, 500 or

even 3,000 miles away? These are the questions that keep me up at night. In the past, bison (and mammoths) might have played a role as a foundation species in much of Alaska, including the Kenai Peninsula. During the Pleistocene, the peninsula sat on the southern extent of an arid grassland that extended from Siberia to Alaska. This was a time when steppe bison roamed the Caribou Hills as horns found there carbon-date to 43,000 years ago. Like its modern descendants, woodland and plains bison, the steppe bison likely helped cycle nutrients (think poop), and created structure by digging wallows and compacting soil with their heavy hooves. They would have added species diversity and age structure with

their sporadic and patchy grazing on graminoid species. Currently, no large grazers occur on the Kenai Peninsula that can serve as a foundation species in our developing grassland complex, now spanning over 40,000 acres. If bluejoint reedgrass does indeed inhibit biodiversity with its thickening rhizomatous mat, there is much to be discussed about how to better steward this landscape by laying a strong “foundation.” We will keep you updated on the story that our data tell as it unfolds.

to compete without a returning senior? It’d be a tough year,” Beck said. “It was fun to go to the jamboree and see what everybody has.” The Kardinals only have a few players with any varsity experience. In Class 4A, even when Kenai had a talented class that played club volleyball and went to tournaments in the Lower 48, that squad wouldn’t make state. So it’s not hard to imagine what this year would have been like. Beck said her husband once told her that out of every 500 kids, there’s one all-star. “He said, ‘Tracie, you have an allstar. And you’re playing teams with 2,000 students and four all-stars,’” Beck said. Nikiski coach Stacey Segura has had plenty of all-stars in her seven years at the helm, making state in four of the past six seasons. Even after losing the conference MVP and two other all-conference players, the Bulldogs are loaded for another run led by senior all-conference returnee Bethany Carstens. Homer also has state experience in its recent history, going to the big event in 2014 and 2015. In 2016, Seward earned its first state bid since 2011. Last season, in her first season at the helm, Jodi Kurtz led the Seahawks to third place in the conference tournament only to be denied an at-large berth to state. This year, five hungry seniors return for Seward, including all-conference outside hitter Riley Von Borstel. Two state berths go to the eight-team Southcentral Conference, while the sixteam Aurora Conference and four-team Western Conference also get two. The two-team Southeast Conference gets one, and there is an at-large berth. “It doesn’t make any sense that we have eight teams and there’s only two going, but that’s not going to change this year,” Segura said. “Hopefully, we do well enough during the season that if something happens at regions, we still get an at-large berth.” Seward’s fate last season shows how cruel the system can be. The Seahawks were the No. 2 seed at the conference tournament, winning a tiebreaker over No. 3 seed Grace Christian. In the semifinals, Seward lost to Grace in five games, with the fifth game at 15-11. But when Mt. Edgecumbe was upset by Sitka in the two-team Southeast Conference, the Braves got the at-large state berth and Seward stayed home. Soldotna is on the other side of the numbers game. With Kenai gone,

only five teams remain in the Northern Lights Conference, but three of them will go to state. Last season, the Stars tied for fifth at state, coach Sheila Kupferschmid’s best result in her four seasons at the school. It was SoHi’s first appearance at state since 2015. The Stars lost two first-team allconference players to graduation, but get a nice bonus with the return of Ituau Tuisaula. Tuisaula was first-team all-conference as a freshman, missed last season due to injury and returns for her junior season. She is joined by a senior class that went 17-1 as freshmen on the C-team. “I have seven seniors and I love working with seniors,” Kupferschmid said. “They’re typically kids that have committed through the years, and it’s their last season, so there’s more urgency for them. “I think seniors are more focused.” The following is a closer look at the Kenai Peninsula’s volleyball teams:

“I didn’t want to let go of it so I decided to come back and coach,” she said. The team, heavy last year on sophomores and juniors, could be poised for a more successful season. Brianna Hetrick, Ksenia Kuzmin and Kelsea Scott provide the senior leadership this season, for a team with five juniors and two sophomores. Pennington said she’s told her players not to assume they’ll be staying where they are all season — she’s prepared to move players up from the junior varsity squad if necessary. Such was the case last year with sophomore Lauren Inama, who was pulled up to be the only freshman on the varsity team by former coach Erin Brege about halfway through the season. The Lady Mariners have a long season ahead of them after placing third in the Homer Jamboree earlier this month. Pennington said she has a good group of girls who are excited to learn and improve.

Homer Mariners

Beck has 32 players in the program and a bunch of help to get them up to speed. Jason Diorec and Pako Whannell co-coached the team last season and are still helping whenever possible. Bruce King, a former longtime head coach in the area, also has helped out, and former Kenai player Sierra Hall is coaching the C-team. “That tells you the quality of these kids,” Beck said. “These adults are taking their own time and doing what they can to make it happen for them.” Sophomore outside hitter Bethany Morris, junior setter Kailey Hamilton, junior defensive specialist and outside hitter Jaiden Streiff and sophomore middle Abby Every all saw some varsity playing time last season. Beck also is excited about sophomore middle Lexi Reis, who is new to the area. Junior outside or right-side hitter Chelsea Plagge, sophomore versatile hitter Vanessa Beck and sophomore setter Kaylee Lauritsen also will be key for Kenai. “It’s definitely a young group but they’ve got great personalities and they’re excited to learn and want to do well,” Beck said. “They just had a great time at the jamboree getting back into volleyball. “It’s probably unexpected that some pretty young kids could go down there and compete as a team.”

Kenai Kardinals

Homer High School’s varsity volleyball team has a fresh face for a fresh season. When 21-year-old Sara Pennington started looking to get involved in the community by helping out with the volleyball team, she had no idea just how important her contribution would end up being. Hailing from Savannah, Georgia, Pennington came to Homer this year to be closer to her fiance, who is stationed here in the U.S. Coast Guard. The pair have another year here before moving on, and Pennington said she wanted to stay busy during that time. She contacted Homer Athletic Director Chris Perk about getting involved in volleyball. Two weeks later, she said she got an email back saying the head coaching position was open. Last year’s coach, Erin Brege, moved back to the Midwest this year. And so Pennington picked up where Brege left off, molding the Lady Mariners into a stronger version of themselves. At 21, she said she feels like she has an added connection to the girls, since it wasn’t that long ago that she stood where they are now. Pennington first got into the game in middle school and continued playing through high school. “As a kid I never wanted to do anything in front of people,” she said, explaining that as soon as a public meet or concert came up, she would quit whatever activity she was in. Nikiski Bulldogs Then, she discovered volleyball. The recent success has Segura’s Pennington fell in love with the sport, she said, and it stuck. She returned to program flourishing, with 38 players her high school after she graduated to coming out for the team. “I’m super flattered to have that coach there as well.

many, but super nervous to do cuts this week,” she said. The Bulldogs went 12-0 in the conference regular season last year, but then lost in the championship game of the conference tournament, then lost the first two games of the state tournament. “I’m sure they’re still thinking about it because it stresses me out when I think about it,” Segura said. She said her team was outworked in the conference championship game, getting kicked into the harder half of the state bracket. “They’re very competitive girls,” Segura said of her team. “I told them this year, whether it’s a scrimmage, tournament or jamboree, we can’t get outworked.” In addition to the ferocious hitting in the middle of Carstens, the Bulldogs return key pieces in seniors Kelsey Clark and Emma Wik, and junior Kaitlyn Johnson. Clark will be in her third year starting as varsity libero, including a trip to the state title game two seasons ago. Wik has been setting on varsity for four years, and will stay on the court to play opposite hitter and back row. Johnson will do the same. Junior middle Kaycee Bostic saw some varsity time and is working to improve, while juniors America Jeffreys and Angela Druesedow will be key on defense. The key for Nikiski will be rebuilding the outside hitter position, where junior Tika Zimmerman and sophomores Savannah Ley and Lillian Carstens will get baptism by fire. “I definitely do think we’ll have our bumps at the beginning of the season but I think that’s a good thing,” Segura said. “After being undefeated going into regions and then losing, I think it’s more humbling for the older ones and the younger ones if they lose along the way. “I’m not saying that’s what I want them to do, but I feel like it may happen along the way.” Seward Seahawks Kurtz has 28 players in her program in her second season. The five returning seniors are Von Borstel, middle and outside hitter Coral Petrosius, libero Ashley Jackson, setter Allie Toloff and middle Maggie Adkins. “This team works well together,” Kurtz said. “Those five seniors have played together four years now and in middle school. “They’re good at working together. Even though I yell at them to talk more, they still seem to pull it off.” The tough end to last season, which came at a conference tournament

where Toloff could not play due to a concussion, has only hardened resolve. “This year they really want it,” Kurtz said. “I have a feeling they’re really going to come after it.” But the team is far more than the seniors, with a talented group of sophomores to augment the effort. Sophomore outside and middle Sequioa Sieverts gives the Seahawks another potent hitter to pair with Petrosius and Von Borstel. Sophomore outside and middle Calysta Lohman saw some varsity time last year, as did sophomore setter Marisa Phasomsap and sophomore setter Katelyn Sawyer-Lemme. Sophomore setter Anavey Ambrosiani is new to varsity. Soldotna Stars Kupferschmid, who begins her 34th year coaching volleyball in a career that has ranged through Texas, Nebraska and Alaska, has 30 kids out for the team. All that experience has taught her the dangers of experience. She said sometimes seniors simply want to get to the postseason and miss out on the journey. With three key losses to graduation, Kupferschmid said the Stars can’t afford to do that. “That’s why I’ve preached patience with the kids,” she said. “You’ve gotta be patient. “You may have the tools but it takes a lot of reps to put it together.” In addition to Tuisaula, the Stars return a bevy of seasoned varsity talent led by senior middle or opposite Aliann Schmidt, senior outside hitter Kodi McGillivray, junior middle Bailey Leach and junior libero Holleigh Jaime. Senior outside hitter Brittani Blossom, senior defensive specialist and setter Kalyn McGillivray, senior setter Carsen Brown and senior defense specialist Paulyne Catacutan are all ready to step up and contribute more at the varsity level. Senior right side and defensive specialist Megan Eskue, junior middle blocker Serena Moore, junior outside hitter Kylie Ness and sophomore setter Sierra Kuntz give the Stars further depth. Like Kupferschmid said, she has some tools. Soldotna has the smallest school size in the NLC, but with Leach at 6-foot-0, Schmidt and Tuisaula at 5-11, and Moore at 5-10, the Stars have the size to compete. Jaime, Kalyn McGillivray and Catacutan also give Soldotna coveted experience passing in the back row. Homer News reporter Megan Pacer contributed to this report.

Today in History Today is Friday, Aug. 24, the 236th day of 2018. There are 129 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 24, 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty came into force. On this date: In A.D. 79, long-dormant Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in volcanic ash; an estimated 20,000 people died. In A.D. 410, Rome was overrun by the Visigoths, a major event in the fall of the Western Roman Empire. In 1814, during the War of 1812, British forces invaded Washington, D.C., setting fire to the Capitol (which was still under construction) and the White House, as well as other public buildings. In 1912, Congress passed a measure creating the Alaska Territory. Congress approved legislation establishing Parcel Post delivery by the U.S. Post Office Department, slated to begin on January 1, 1913. In 1932, Amelia Earhart embarked on a 19-hour flight from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey, making her the first woman to fly solo, non-stop, from coast to coast. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act, outlawing the Communist Party in the United States. In 1959, three days after Hawaiian statehood, Hiram L. Fong was sworn in as the first Chinese-American U.S. Senator while Daniel K. Inouye (inOH’-way) was sworn in as the first Japanese-American U.S. Representative. In 1968, France became the world’s fifth thermonuclear power as it exploded a hydrogen bomb in the South Pacific. In 1981, Mark David Chapman was sentenced in New York to 20 years to life in prison for murdering John Lennon. (Chapman remains imprisoned.) In 1989, the Voyager 2 space probe flew by Neptune, sending back striking photographs. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew smashed into Florida, causing $30 billion in damage; 43 U.S. deaths were blamed on the storm. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union declared that Pluto was no longer a full-fledged planet, demoting it to the status of a “dwarf planet.” Ten years ago: A suicide bomber struck a welcome-home celebration on Baghdad’s outskirts for an Iraqi detainee released from U.S. custody, killing at least 25 people. An Iran-bound passenger jet carrying 90 people crashed in Kyrgyzstan, killing some 70 people. On the final day of the Beijing Games, Kobe Bryant hit two 3-pointers in a big fourth quarter to help the United States defeat Spain 118-107 and win the men’s basketball gold medal for the first time since 2000. Waipahu, Hawaii, defeated Matamoros, Mexico, in the Little League World Series, 12-3.

Akana, who watched from the sideline that day as an assistant, expects a tighter game this time around. “They rolled us,” he said. “I told the boys, we’ve got to have pride this week.” Akana has just two games under his belt as official head coach at Kenai, while Christiansen’s 27-year career is made up of 255 total games with Palmer. With such a disparity in coaching experience, Akana said his job is to soak in as much knowledge as possible and hope to have his boys working together as best as possible. “I’m striving to learn from each coach I come in contact with,” he said. “Every team we play, I get to speak with the head coaches, and I learn from there. Yeah, we’re on opposite ends fighting for that ‘W,” but you’re always trying to learn something.” Akana said he already feels confident about his team, which followed up a 49-21 loss to Lathropm with a 58-6 pounding over Homer. “I’m proud of the boys because they took their mistakes from the Lathrop game and worked on it throughout the week,” Akana said. “We challenged them after the game, are they going to sit at a standstill and continue to play like the Lathrop game, or take on the challenge of improving and getting better?” Palmer is coming off a 21-7 loss to Valley rival Colony, a game the Moose led until the fourth quarter as the Knights staged a late comeback. Akana said he and the team is aching to get their home schedule started. “You’re always happy when you get to play at home,” he said. “Your family’s coming, your cheering section is there, we’re excited to play at home.” Redington (0-2) at Nikiski (1-1), 5 p.m. Friday Nikiski had a successful home opener last Saturday with a convincing win over Valdez, a nonconference Division III foe. However, it came at a cost as senior Cody Handley went down twice in the first half and missed the second half with an ice bag on his knee. The Bulldogs will have to make do without Handley, who represents almost a third of Nikiski’s offense through two games, but Nelson said he is holding the big man out this weekend for precautionary reasons.

“He’s been a big, hard runner for us,” Nelson said. “We’ve had to find another person at halfback for him, we need somebody that replicates the aggression and intensity he has, someone needs to step up and be a leader.” Luckily, Nelson is getting a boost at the right time. Several players are returning this week after missing the first two games to eligibility requirements. Among those returning that should add a spark is Michael Eiter, who will take over Handley’s role this week, and receiver Mason Payne, who combined with starting fullback Sam Berry and wing back Dylan Harris will create a formidable Bulldogs offensive attack. Defensive back Justin Harris will also be making his first start of the season this weekend. “It definitely helps us out,” Nelson said. “If not for them contributing themselves, we’ll be able to rest a guy here and there, they can take a breath. “When you’ve only got 26 on the roster and three can’t play, that’s big.” Redington is coming off a 22-6 loss to Seward, and although the Huskies haven’t found that first win yet, Nelson isn’t overlooking them, particularly because of the dynamic play-making abilities that Redington quarterback Kyler Rumfelt brings to the table. Last week against Seward, Rumfelt led the Huskies with over 100 yards on his feet. “(Rumfelt) is a phenomenal athlete, he’s definitely one to watch out for and he’ll hurt you if you let him,” Nelson said. “We don’t pay attention to records because the last two years we’ve been 0-2 and we’ve won that third game. “They’re out looking for a win.”

many years fighting the biggest schools in the state. Lathrop has held its own at times against the Alaska powerhouses, but a few division changes this offseason dropped the Malamutes and fellow Fairbanks team West Valley into the Railbelt Conference that formerly housed Division I schools such as Chugiak and Wasilla. The Stars are coming off a dominant 66-19 win over North Pole, which included a 42-point first quarter, but Lathrop also brings momentum with them following a 53-16 demolition of Division I school Dimond. Like many coaches, Brantley Jr. is not one to put a lot of stock into the weekly poll rankings of Alaska football teams, but still believes the Stars are the underdogs this week. “This is not going to be an easy game,” Brantley Jr. cautioned. “Like I said, they’re the No. 1 team and we’re No. 4, which means a win would be an upset.” If there is anyone that can attest to the strength of Lathrop, it’s Kenai Central, which fell 49-21 to the Malamutes two weeks ago. Brendyn “Bubba” Maschmeier gutted the Kards defense that day with 214 rush yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries, and also added an 80-yard kickoff return to his game. Lathrop QB Jaden Littell also has shown an ability to find receivers, and was efficient against Kenai with 13 of 17 passing for 142 yards. Brantley Jr. pointed to receivers Juan Mendez and Jhon Rones as two Lathrop receivers that can shred a defensive secondary. While Lathrop tend to run a handful of spread plays, including a run-pass option attack, Brantley Jr. said the utmost importance still lies in containing Maschmeier. “We’ve got to figure out a way to slow down their running back,” Brantley Jr. said. “If we Soldotna (1-1) at Lathrop (2- can stop him and force them to throw the ball, we have a better 0), 8 p.m. Friday chance.” The Stars face their biggest test since the West Eagles Monroe (1-1) at Homer (0-2), in Week 1, and get to do it in 2 p.m. Saturday proper Friday Night Lights style with a late start time. Searching for their first win Brantley Jr. called the Mala- of the season, the Mariners will mutes one of the most talented likely have their best shot yet teams in the state from a skills Saturday afternoon at home. standpoint.

It also stands as SoHi’s first “We’ve been playing at a Division II test of the season different speed, and many of against a team that dropped these kids haven’t played the down from Division I after game before,” Love explained.

“They’re starting to come to that spot in life when they’re acknowledging gaps in their knowledge and where they are failing to perform.” Monroe lost to Houston last week 27-20. Love said he still has a handful of starters that will miss this week due to ineligibility, but expects them back next week against Houston. “At the end of the day, it is the challenge that we all face,” Love said. “Monroe keeps coming and coming, and they get better every year. From my perspective, I know where my kids are.” Love said Noah Fisk, one of Homer’s most dangerous ballcarriers, may not play after sustaining an injury early in the season. Fisk will suit up but will only go if he “feels 100 percent.” With Fisk questionable to play, Love said it leaves the door open for others to step up, including senior Yri Golich and sophomore Joshua Bradshaw. Another starter that could miss this week to injury is center Jadin Mann. Love said Mann’s potential replacement would be Shawn Pilant. Entering the mix for the first time, Love said, are a handful of stealthy receivers from Voznesenka, a list that includes Prokohpy Konev and Nikola Reutov. Love said both will complement senior QB Anthony Kalugin, whom Love said is improving each week in the pocket. Eielson (1-1) at Seward (1-1), 1 p.m. Saturday The Seahawks took down Redington with a 22-6 road win, but the Ravens, who have won three of the last four Division III state crowns, are a whole different challenge. Last year, Eielson pummeled Seward 56-0 in an early season matchup. Another scary thought for Seward is the motivation that Eielson may have after going down in a 41-20 loss to West Valley, a Division II Interior rival, last weekend. Seward got in the winning column last week thanks to a gritty defensive effort. The Seahawks hauled in five interceptions on Redington, including three by Collin Mulally, who made his season debut for Seward. Shane Saulivan and Gabe Schrock both scored with help from Seward’s offensive line, which head coach Kelly Cinereski praised after the game due to three freshman making up the group. Schrock’s pounding run game was also complemented by QB Gunnar Davis’ passing attack.

Report says Meyer tolerated bad behavior By MITCH STACY AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Urban Meyer may have weathered scandal at Ohio State, but not without a lasting stain as an exhaustive report detailed behavior that could easily have taken down a coach of lesser stature. The investigation released soon after Meyer answered questions from reporters about his suspension Wednesday night showed that he tolerated bad behavior for years from assistant coach Zach Smith, including domestic-violence accusations, drug addiction, lies and other acts that directly clash with the values Meyer touts

publicly. The findings represent a new turn in the saga , showing how the superstar coach — who preaches “core values” like honesty, treating women with respect and not using drugs or stealing — failed to live up to those ideals when handling several issues squarely within his control while dealing with the grandson of legendary Ohio State coach Earle Bruce. Ohio State issued Meyer a relatively light three game suspension — granting enough leeway to still let him prep the Buckeyes for two games. He will also lose six weeks of salary in a year he’s slated to earn $7.6 million under a deal that runs through 2022.

“Do I think 73-8 (Meyer’s record at Ohio State) had something to do with it?” former UCLA coach and CBS analysts Rick Neuheisel said of Meyer’s punishment. “The answer is yes. The answer is absolutely.” “The rules are not the same for everybody. That’s no secret. The fact that Urban has been so good in terms of win-loss over the years certainly played in.” Meanwhile, his football team was back at practice without him on Thursday, preparing for the opener against Oregon State on Sept. 1. Co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Ryan Day will continue to coach the team during Meyer’s absence.

Sports Briefs Dimond football canceled for the week ANCHORAGE — The Anchorage School District has canceled a high school football team’s activities for a week following allegations of hazing and sexual misconduct. Superintendent Deena Bishop sent an email to Dimond High School parents and staff Wednesday, saying the football program was suspended, including its practices and games. Bishop said she learned of the allegations involving members of the team Monday. The school immediately contacted the Anchorage Police Department, which has launched a criminal investigation. “I have suspended the football program at Dimond High School and we are working with the Anchorage Police Department to investigate,” Bishop said in the email. “We have zero tolerance for any inappropriate behavior. Until our investigation is complete, I have no further comment. Student safety is always our number one concern.” The allegations were reported after the team returned from the Saturday game against Lathrop High School in Fairbanks. A mother of a player told KTUU-TV that several older players allegedly sexually assaulted younger teammates during the overnight stay in Fairbanks. It is unclear how many players were involved. Bishop declined to say if disciplinary action had been taken against students, noting she couldn’t release specific details because the students involved are minors. Police confirmed the investigation, but declined provide additional information. “The Anchorage Police Department has been made aware of an incident involving the Dimond High School football team and we are investigating,” Capt. Josh Nolder told the Anchorage Daily News. “This is an active investigation and we cannot release additional information at this time.” — The Associated Press

Four tied for lead at Northern Trust By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PARAMUS, N.J. — Tiger Woods failed to carry any momentum he had from his last tournament into the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Neither did Sean O’Hair. That was only good news for one of them Thursday in The Northern Trust. O’Hair missed the cut last week and saw his FedEx Cup standing slip to No. 121, meaning he has to play well this week or his season is over. His immediate goal is to advance to the third stage of events because the BMW Championship is at Aronimink outside Philadelphia, where O’Hair is a member. He drilled a 3-wood from 284 yards to 6 feet for eagle on No. 3. He hammered another 3-wood on the par-5 17th to 10 feet, settling for a two-putt birdie. That carried O’Hair to a 5-under 66, giving him a share of the lead with Kevin Tway, Jamie Love-

mark and Vaughn Taylor. “I’m obviously very disappointed that I’m not in a better position, but I’m kind of in charge of my destiny,” O’Hair said. “If I play good golf I’m just going to work into the next week.” Woods, playing for the first time since his runner-up finish at the PGA Championship, had a pair of birdies, a pair of bogeys, a lot of pars and a 71. He was five shots behind and in a tie for 60th. After a rough start off the tee, Woods wound up hitting nine of 14 fairways. He just never got it close enough for good looks at birdie. “Just didn’t have the situations where I had the full club and I could go ahead and take a rip at it and start being aggressive and going after these flags,” Woods said. “I kept having to play a little defensive because I was taking more club, trying to shape it and take spin off. One of those days.” Woods is back in the FedEx

Cup playoffs for the first time in five years, and it was his first time at Ridgewood Country Club since 2010. Thousands came to watch him play, and they heard plenty of cheers from the group behind him. Dustin Johnson rimmed out a 6-iron on the par-3 sixth for one of his seven birdies to offset a triple bogey for a 67. U.S. Open and PGA champion Brooks Koepka ran off four birdies and an eagle for his 67. FedEx Cup champion Justin Thomas had four birdies in his round of 69. Johnson could tell his 6-iron was close to perfect from the flight of the shot, where it landed and the reaction of the fans behind the par-3 sixth green as the ball rolled around left edge of the cup. Or were they cheering because Woods teed off on the hole ahead of them? “I was kind of debating whether they were yelling for me or him,” Johnson said with a smile.

Long-married couple clashes over wife’s right to privacy ried does not mean she (or he) shouldn’t have the right to some -- especially when using the bathroom. Your husband is either extremely controlling or doesn’t trust you to be alone, and that’s not healthy. What’s causing his behavior I can’t guess, but a licensed mental health professional may be able to help you figure it out. If he won’t agree to go, go without Abigail Van Buren him. DEAR ABBY: I am a 28-year-old man with a serious drinking problem. I function normally at work, but I have no real life outside of work or drinking. I tried AA, but didn’t feel comfortable in an organization that emphasizes God as part of the path to sobriety. I am desperate to find a way to recover, but I feel helpless. Please point me in the right direction. -- ADDICTED IN KANSAS CITY, MO. DEAR ADDICTED: Because, for the reason you stated, Alcoholics Anonymous isn’t for you, I’m glad to offer secular alternatives. The first is

SMART Recovery, a four-point program that encourages motivation to abstain and provides help in coping with cravings, managing negative emotions and finding a healthy life balance. SMART Recovery offers face-to-face support groups worldwide as well as online meetings. Its goal, like AA, is lifetime abstinence, and its meetings and help are also free. Unlike AA, lifetime attendance at meetings is not required. To find more information, visit smartrecovery.org. Another resource is Secular Organizations for Sobriety (also known as Save Our Selves). You will find a list of meetings at sossobriety.org. Whichever you choose, I wish you a successful recovery.

YOU SHOULDN’T SAY THAT Dear Heloise: As a travel agent, I’ve learned that certain English words have different meanings in other English-speaking countries, such as: 1. “Pants”: In the U.K. it means underwear. Jeans and khakis are “trousers.” 2. “Fanny”: You might own a “fanny pack,” but in other countries they’re “bun bags.” The word “fanny” is considered rude because it refers to female anatomy. 3. “Bangs”: They are called “fringe.” The word “bang(s)” is often considered vulgar. 4. “Root”: Another vulgar term in Australia and New Zealand. 5. “Bugger”: Your child might be a cute little bugger, but outside of the U.S. the word “bugger” is considered an expletive. -- Eve M. in Atlanta SOILED LAMPSHADE Dear Heloise: I was wondering if you have any hints for cleaning fabric (material) lampshades. I need help. Not just dust, but water spots. -- Carol E., Marshall, Minn. Carol, you don’t mention what type of material your lampshade is made of, or whether it’s glued to the frame or sewn on, so my response will have to be rather generic. If your lampshade is washable, fill a bathtub with lukewarm water and add a few drops of a very mild detergent. Swish the shade around in it. You can wipe soiled areas from top to bottom with a clean, white cotton cloth. Let the tub drain, then rinse the shade in clean, lukewarm water. Blot with an absorbent towel, or put in front of a fan to dry. -- Heloise SHORT AND SIMPLE THOUGHT Dear Heloise: There’s an old saying: “Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” I’ve discovered that this is an accurate statement, and one that is worth remembering. -- Gordon V., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 24, 2018: This year you have to sort through more confusion and misunderstandings than you are used to. You will gain because of this necessity. You’ll also feel that you are more in control of your life. If you are single, be aware that you could meet someone who is emotionally unavailable. Take your time before you decide to get involved. If you are attached, the two of you often cannot be found. You love being by yourselves. AQUARIUS does not understand why you are not more available. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Take charge of the moment, even though you might feel as if you are surrounded by difficult people. Good luck comes out of a wild set of circumstances that might not be easy to sift through. Do nothing, and you will land well. Tonight: TGIF with friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Defer to others, knowing full well that you do not have all the answers. Sort through some of the confusing messages that could affect you in strange ways. You might not be getting the total gist of what is being suggested. Tonight: Out and about till the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You have a way of activating others’ interests. Someone close to you could prove to be very helpful. This person

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 25 years. I was 19 and he was 28. Among a number of things we disagree about, there’s the notion that he feels I should have zero privacy. If he finds out I locked the bathroom door or the bedroom door for five minutes to get something private done, like shave or use the potty, he freaks out and yells at me. He insists that he’s the husband and I shouldn’t feel the need to lock him out. This morning I locked the bedroom door for less than 10 minutes to pack my bag for a flight. I was running late and wanted to eliminate the distraction of him going in and out of the room so I could finish quickly. He flipped out, calling me rude for making him feel like he is a pervert by locking the door. In the nicest way possible I had asked him when he came to the door if he would please let me have the room until I was done packing. Don’t I have the right to lock the door if I feel I need privacy, or is he right that there’s no need for privacy from a husband? I hardly get five or 10 minutes a month of it. We have a large home with four other bathrooms. It isn’t a lack-of-space thing. Please help me resolve this. -- IT’S PERSONAL, IN NEW YORK DEAR IT’S PERSONAL: Everyone needs privacy at one time or another. Because someone is mar-
