Bodies, wreckage will not be recovered in Denali plane crash
In the news 3 accused of approaching feeding Katmai brown bears ANCHORAGE — Charges are pending in Alaska against three people who approached multiple brown bears in a closed area of a popular destination for bearviewing excursions. National Park Service officials say two Alaska residents and a tourist entered a closed area at Brooks Camp in the Katmai National Park and Preserve Thursday evening while the bears were feeding. Officials say the group violated wildlife viewing rules and put themselves and the bears in danger. Park regulations prohibit getting within 50 yards of a bear feeding on a concentrated source, such as salmon. The incident comes after two July incidents involving Katmai bears. One bear pawed a visitor’s pant leg after approaching the individual, and a second bear that was being chased by another bear pawed an employee of Katmailand’s Brooks Lodge.
Galvin outraises Young in July; Young has more cash JUNEAU — Independent Alyse Galvin reported contributions of nearly $65,000 for her U.S. House bid in July, more than the incumbent Republican, U.S. Rep. Don Young. Young, however, retained a large edge in available cash at the end of the reporting period Aug. 1, with nearly $435,000. He reported contributions of about $28,800 in July. Most of his contributions were from out-of-state political action committees. Galvin is seeking the Democratic nomination in the Aug. 21 primary. She and Democrat Dimitri Shein (Shayne) have run the most active campaigns on that side. Shein’s latest fundraising filing wasn’t immediately available. Galvin reported having just over $250,000 on hand. Young is the longestserving member of the House. His primary opponents reported little or no fundraising. — Associated Press

ANCHORAGE (AP) — The National Park Service has ended attempts to recover bodies and wreckage of a small airplane that crashed on a near-vertical mountain within Alaska’s Denali National Park. The agency says it has determined that recovery of the bodies and the aircraft would exceed an acceptable level of risk. A ranger hauled in with a line below a helicopter reached the crash site Friday and spent an hour at the site. The ranger confirmed that all five people on board the airplane had died. The de Havilland Beaver operated by K2 Aviation crashed Aug. 4 near the summit of Thunder Mountain about 14 miles (22.5 kilometers) southwest of the summit of Denali, North America’s highest mountain. On board were pilot Craig Layson and four passengers from Poland.
State agency seizes political campaign signs ANCHORAGE (AP) — The Alaska Department of Transportation seized several political campaign signs last week in Anchorage, sparking protests and outrage from candidates and campaign officials. The signs were illegally placed along state roads and causing safety hazards for drivers, transportation officials said. But state inventory indicates
no signs for Gov. Bill Walker were seized in the sweep, leaving some political figures questioning the timing, the Anchorage Daily News reported . Walker is up for re-election this fall, and the Alaska primary election will be held Aug. 21. The Walker campaign said it received no advance notice or special treatment but spotted orange tags on the signs and
reacted quickly to move them. Department of Transportation spokeswoman Shannon McCarthy said the sweep was motivated by a proliferation of illegal signs on state roads, despite state and federal laws against outdoor advertising in Alaska. Because of budget cuts, those laws have been little enforced in recent years, though sweeps used to happen more
regularly, McCarthy said. The state sent a letter to candidates in the spring about right-of-way laws, McCarthy said. On July 25, Department of Transportation workers placed orange tags on 200 to 250 signs placed illegally in the state right-of-way across Anchorage, McCarthy said. Of those, about 50 posed “immediate safety concerns,” according to McCarthy.
Campaigns were given five days to move the signs, and many did, McCarthy said. On private property within 660 feet (about 200 meters) of the nearest edge of the right-ofway, signs can’t be installed or positioned so the message can be read from the state roadway, said Heather Fair, the state right-of-way enforcement See SIGNS, page A2
Local martial arts students compete on world stage By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Seven students of Soldotna Martial Arts have returned from the World Tang Soo Do championships. Two students, Mika Brassfield and Shari Franke, received medals for competitions involving open-hand forms and weapons forms. Master Bud Draper has been practicing Tang Soo Do since 1970 and has been running Soldotna Martial Arts for over 25 years. Tang Soo Do is a Korean martial art that integrates other kinds of martial arts like kung fu and karate. Draper said Tang Soo Do helps develop good lifelong health habits and good character

through hard work and rigor- ous training.
The World Tang Soo Do Championship is held every two years in Greensboro, North Carolina and members of the World Tang Soo Do Association are welcome to attend. The championships hosted 700 black belts and over a thousand colored belts from all over the world. “It’s a very large tournament, but the purpose is not to determine who is the best, the greatest, the strongest, the fastest.” Draper said. “The purpose is to bring the family together, the worldwide Tang Soo Do family.” At Soldotna Martial Arts, any students who wanted to participate were welcome to join. For three of the seven, it
was their third time going; the rest had never been before. This was Mika Brassfield’s third time attending the championships. She’s been practicing Tang Soo Do with her sister, Cierra, since 2009. “Every time I go down there it surprises me, even though I’m used to the number of people there,” Mika Brassfield said. “It’s fun to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones.” Arlene Franke, who is affectionately known as grandma, was the oldest woman competitor at 76 years old. She’s been practicing Tang Soo Do since 2011. “I was a bit surprised at See ARTS, page A2
Seabird die-offs may be connected to warming ocean By DAN JOLING Associated Press

disease, and tests are pending for harmful algal toxins. Seabirds have been found emaciated and starved, and changed ocean conditions may have affected prey. “As in the past, these dieoffs have been associated with unusually warm water conditions,” said Katherine Kuletz, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seabird biologist. “That’s only increased in the last few years.” The Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service in May received reports of dead and dying seabirds, or
birds acting abnormally, north and south of the Bering Strait. Most were common or thickbilled murres. Bird deaths along Saint Lawrence Island followed. Reports from more southern communities, subsistence hunters and citizen scientists in the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team, coordinated at the University of Washington, continued over the summer. Officials recorded deaths of forktail storm petrels, fulmars, shearwaters, kittiwakes, auklets and puffins.
Bird die-offs usually are localized, Kuletz said. The 2018 numbers have not matched a die-off in late 2015 and 2016, when hundreds of thousands of common murres died. “I think what’s different is that the numbers, even though they’re in the dozens or hundreds, they’re widely dispersed and very highly concentrated in the north Bering Sea and the southern Chukchi Sea, which is unusual,” Kuletz said. “Most of our large die-offs have occurred in the southern Bering Sea or See BIRDS, page A2

Authorities probe how airline employee could steal plane Group or at any other airline.” The bizarre incident involving a worker who authorities said was suicidal points to one of the biggest potential perils for commercial air travel: airline or airport employees causing mayhem. “The greatest threat we have to aviation is the insider threat,” Erroll Southers, a former FBI agent and transportation security expert, told the AP. “Here we have an employee who was vetted to the level to have access to the aircraft and had a skill set proficient enough to take off with that plane.” Seattle FBI agent in charge Jay Tabb Jr. cautioned that the investigation would take a lot of time and details would not be released right away. Dozens of personnel were out at the crash site, and co-workers and family members were being interviewed, he said. There was no connection to terrorism, said Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the sheriff’s department. Video showed the Horizon Air Q400 doing large loops and other dangerous maneuvers as the sun set on Puget Sound. There were no passengers aboard. Alaska Airlines said the suspect was a ground service agent employed by Horizon. Those employees direct aircraft for takeoff and gate approach and de-ice planes, as well as handle baggage. Russell went by “Beebo” on social media, and on his Facebook page, which had limited public access. He said he was from Wasilla, Alaska, lived in Sumner, Washington, and was married in 2012. In a humorous YouTube video he posted last year, he talked about his job and included videos and photos of his various travels. “I lift a lot of bags. Like a lot of bags. So many bags,” he said. Southers, the aviation security expert, said the man could have caused mass destruction. “If he had the skill set to do loops with a plane like this, he certainly had the capacity to fly it into a building and kill people
By RACHEL LA CORTE and KEITH RIDLER Associated Press
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Investigators are piecing together how an airline ground agent working his regular shift stole an empty Horizon Air turboprop plane, took off from SeaTac International Airport and fatally crashed into a small island in the Puget Sound after being chased by military jets that were quickly scrambled to intercept the aircraft. Officials said Saturday that the man was a 3.5-year Horizon employee and had clearance to be among aircraft, but that to their knowledge, he wasn’t a licensed pilot. The 29-year-old man used a machine called a pushback tractor to first maneuver the aircraft so he could board and then take off Friday evening, authorities added. A U.S. official briefed on the matter told The Associated Press the man was Richard Russell. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity. It’s unclear how he attained the skills to do loops in the aircraft before crashing about an hour after taking off into a small island in the Puget Sound, authorities said. He crashed nearly an hour after the plane was taken from a maintenance area, though officials said that it did not appear that the fighter jets were involved in the crash of the aircraft. In a news release issued Saturday, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said two F-15C alert aircraft were scrambled from Portland but did not fire upon the plane. At a news conference in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, officials from Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air said that they are still working closely with authorities as they investigate what happened. “Safety is our No. 1 goal,” said Brad Tilden, CEO of Alaska Airlines. “Last night’s event is going to push us to learn what we can from this tragedy so that we can ensure this does not happen again at Alaska Air

on the ground,” he said. Gary Beck, CEO of Horizon Air, said it wasn’t clear how the man knew to start the engine, which requires a series of switches and levers. The plane was pursued by military aircraft before it crashed on tiny Ketron Island, southwest of Tacoma, Washington. Video showed fiery flames
amid trees on the island, which is sparsely populated and only accessible by ferry. No structures on the ground were damaged, Alaska Airlines said. Troyer said F-15 aircraft took off out of Portland, Oregon, were in the air “within a few minutes,” and the pilots kept “people on the ground safe.”
The aircraft was stolen about 8 p.m. Alaska Airlines said it was in a “maintenance position” and not scheduled for a passenger flight. Horizon Air is part of Alaska Air Group and flies shorter routes throughout the U.S. West. The Q400 is a turboprop aircraft with 76 seats. The plane crashed in a heavily wooded area of thick under-
brush on the island, said Debra Eckrote, the Western Pacific regional chief for the National Transportation Safety Board. The crash sparked a 2-acre wildfire. “It is highly fragmented,” she said of the plane. “The wings are off, the fuselage is, I think, kind of positioned upside down.”
Mushing legend pushes career boundaries By BRAD JOYAL Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
FAIRBANKS — As a youngster, Lance Mackey had a need for speed. “I always wanted to be in a race car of some sort,” the 48-year-old Mackey said during a recent phone interview. “I like to go fast, you know?” Although Mackey has established himself as one of the most triumphant mushers in sled dog racing, the Fairbanks resident also has been getting behind the wheel of race cars in recent years. He’s been a familiar face at the North Pole Speedway and has experienced success in Legend car races. As somebody with a deep love for automobiles, Mackey was excited to find himself driving a Legend race car, a style of race car reminiscent of the old cars from the 1930s and ’40s. “I grew up with cars. I’ve always had an attraction to hot rods and race cars,” he said. “I’ve had a couple pretty nice street cars over the years, and I had the rare opportunity to get in a Legend car.” Mackey, a well-respected musher who’s captured four titles in both the Yukon Quest 1,000 Mile International Sled Dog Race and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, is on track to take his racing game to the next level. “I’m trying to escalate it,” he said. He recently was given an opportunity to drive a late

model car, similar to the ones seen in big-time NASCAR races. “The late model is basically like what you see on TV in the Daytona 500,” Mackey said. “My little Legend car is the same concept, but it’s a totally different ride.” Mackey plans to spend time in Alabama in November and December, practicing with the late model car. He’ll then re-
Around Alaska
turn to Alaska and use it for a full season at Alaska Raceway Park in Palmer, where he was Saturday night, racing in his new car. “If things go well, the following season I could potentially do the NASCAR circuit,” he said. He’ll continue to race in the Legend car the next few weeks before switching to the late model at some point in August. Mackey has his sights set on getting down to Alabama, where he’ll be able to master the late model car, though he
realizes leaving Alaska during that time of the year will have an impact on mushing. “November and December is a pretty difficult time to take off,” he said. “I have a full plate of dog races scheduled for this winter, and I’ll be putting on a sprint team, too. I’ll have to find a way to balance to it all somehow.” Whether he’s behind a wheel or a sled dog team, Mackey is happy to be on the move. “I’m keeping busy,” he said. “I can’t complain about that.”

waters, perhaps looking for food or calmer foraging conditions,” Kuletz said. Federal agencies this week appealed to residents of coastal communities to send in reports to help assess the scope of the die-off. “The only we way can piece together, to get a big picture, is to get this information from the public,” Kuletz said. “We don’t have an infrastructure that will allow us to send out people to survey for this.” Agencies want accounts, photos and even frozen carcasses. Diseases could affect birds’ ability to forage, leading them to starve. “We’re trying to make an effort to collect very fresh birds, or even birds that someone observes acting weird and dying,” she said. “If we can get them, and get them frozen quickly, we want to see if we can find any evidence of that.” Seabird biologists later this year will try to piece together what is causing the die-off, Kuletz said, incorporating information collected on 2018 research cruises. “Testing plankton, looking for algal blooms, see if we can connect hot spots of mortality with physical ocean features or prey conditions,” she said.
Fire hits Juneau building being demolished JUNEAU — Juneau firefighters spent a half hour knocking down a fire in a building that’s being demolished. The Juneau Empire reports the fire Thursday damaged the former recycling center at Lemon Creek. Fire Marshal Dan Jager says torches used to remove steel beams may have dropped hot material onto combustible substances. He says smoldering likely flared and ignited the building’s wooden structure. A Waste Management employee at around 5 a.m. Thursday saw smoke near the building, checked it out and discovered a small fire. Assistant fire chief Tod Chambers says the employee attempted to extinguish the fire but it spread and he called city firefighters. No one was injured. The building had been deemed unsafe. The city is working with Waste Management to build a new recycling center. — Associated Press

chief. Fair said that’s an uncomfortable part of the law to enforce, and Department of Transportation generally sends a letter to the property owner and asks them to remove problem signs voluntarily. Most comply, she said. On July 30, transportation workers picked up the 30 remaining campaign signs in Anchorage that the department had labeled as safety hazards. It cost the state $3,600 to do the removals, said Tom Grman, Department of Transportation superintendent for Anchorage maintenance. In all, DOT collected 28 signs from 14 Republican candidates and seven signs from four Democratic candidates, according to an inventory requested by Anchorage Daily News. McCarthy said she understands candidates feel pressure to get their name out and compete for recognition. But this summer, she said, the state felt it had to intervene “We just got to a tipping point where we really had to let the candidates know we would be going out there,” McCarthy said.
how nice it was and I was really surprised about how big it actually was,” Franke said. At the championships, everyone competes in three different competitions: openhand form, weapons form and sparring. Mika Brassfield won a bronze medal in open-hand form and a silver medal in weapons form. Shari Franke won a silver medal in openhand form. Shari Franke said her first championship gave her new drive. “I have a different view of the art in some ways,” she said. “Seeing aspects of it from all over the world and what can be done… it gets you excited.” While the championship hosted its fair share of competition, the event was centered around community and learning. “It was exciting to me,” Edward Welch, a student since 2011, said. “I learned a lot. It didn’t feel like a competition. It felt more like everybody was just there to have a good time and support each other, like a big family reunion.” Reach Victoria Petersen at vpetersen@peninsulaclarion. com.

the Gulf of Alaska.” Common murres, known elsewhere as common guillemots, are an indicator of the health of an ecosystem. Plentiful in Alaska, murres eat fingerlength forage fish such as capelin and juvenile pollock. They have a high metabolism rate and must eat prey matching 10 to 30 percent of their body daily. Common murres can fly miles seeking schools of fish. But if they can’t find them, they starve. Biologists noted other troubling signs. Seabirds will not produce eggs if they’re not healthy and many never went to colonies, or showed up a month late. “This was noticed by locals who harvest eggs and birds, some of the Native communities in more rural areas, and also by the National Maritime Refuge,” Kuletz said. Birds that normally forage far off shore, such as fork-tailed storm petrels, were observed in large numbers near the coast. “Which is also something we see when there’s a die-off occurring, or just prior to it — a shifting of the birds to in-shore

What Others Say
Potential harm of 3D-printed guns doesn’t outweigh threat to free speech The debate over 3D-printed guns blew up last week. Many people rightly see this issue as being about the Second Amendment right to bear arms, it’s also about the First Amendment and free speech. The plans for a basic 3D-printed gun have been around for a couple of years, but the federal government prohibited online publication. Texas-based Defense Distributed challenged that policy in court. The case dragged on for a couple of years until the Trump administration recently settled. Online publication could start Aug. 1. That got people’s attention. Americans would quickly fall victim to a rash of plastic gun violence, gun control advocates said. The weapons are untraceable, can pass through a metal detector, don’t have a serial number and can be made by felons. Several state attorneys general sued to have the prohibition reinstated and won a temporary injunction. Everything those advocates say is true. Allowing people to make unregulated 3D-printed plastic guns will create serious challenges and consequences. However, the stifling of free speech can’t get lost in the mix. Anyone who really wants a gun without a background check is far more likely to get it at a gun show or illegally on the streets. Real guns are more effective and cheaper than plastic ones that are good for a handful of shots at best and require a 3D printer that costs thousands of dollars. The government must tread carefully when it limits speech. Indeed, permissible limits are few and deal with imminent threats and clear harms. Child pornography, threatening someone and inciting violent insurrection enjoy no First Amendment protection. The plans for a gun, in and of themselves, make no threat and cause no harm. The danger lies in what people might do with the plans. But free speech does not end because publication of an idea creates a potential hazard. If it did, too many important ideas would be silenced. Federal courts have long upheld this notion. For example, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in an otherwise distasteful case, “The constitutional protection accorded to the freedom of speech and of the press is not based on the naïve belief that speech can do no harm but on the confidence that the benefits society reaps from the free flow and exchange of ideas outweigh the costs society endures by receiving reprehensible or dangerous ideas.” An eclectic group of free-speech supporters sided with Defense Distributed in the case. First Amendment champions the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression and the Electronic Frontier Foundation joined libertarian-minded groups the Cato Institute and the Texas Public Policy Foundation filing amicus briefs. Anyone can find plans for bombs and instructions on how to make drugs online. Such documents circulated even before the Internet. Government does not prohibit that speech, but it does prohibit bombs and drugs. Laws target the act, not the words. If 3D-printed guns are untraceable “ghost guns,” require a state-issued serial number and a piece of metal, as California does, and a gunsmith license, as New York is considering. Congress and state legislatures are not powerless. They can mitigate, though probably not entirely prevent, the danger of 3D-printed guns without trampling the First Amendment. — Miami Herald, Aug. 7
Bleak future for the Trumpettes Networking in Washington is even more important than it is elsewhere. One would never go to a party here inadequately dressed, which is to say without carrying a resume, ready to hand out at a moment’s notice. Socializing is not personal; it’s hard work. Ambition is a good thing, and we’re swarming with those who have brought their principled beliefs to government to make a difference. At least that’s what they say. Count me among those who say “Balderdash!” (That’s not what I actually say, but we have to remember the kiddies.) The point is that our nation’s capital is teeming with those who take ambition to a cutthroat extreme, with ideals that are just a subterfuge. In actual fact, they are here simply to put in their public-service time, checking off that requirement on the way to a prosperous career. Many depart, but many also stick around to mine all the precious opportunities that the swamp has to offer. They accumulate a Rolodex (these days it’s a smartphonea-dex) list full of people they can call to peddle influence as hired guns of whatever corporate or financial bad-guy special interest is impressed by all of their credentials, meaning their contacts. Those whose CV includes time spent on Capitol Hill, to say nothing of former members of Congress, can look forward to a big paycheck in the private sector. That’s the payoff for all the hassles of politics. That’s when the drudgery becomes a good investment.
If you can hook up with a president’s administration, that’s usually an automatic lifetime ticket to ride on the gravy train. Those who wheedle a Cabinet- or sub-Cabinet-level position or a high-ranking White House job — the more visible the better — Bob Franken generally, when their public-service ordeal is over, get to pick and choose among lucrative offers from those who want to bring prestige and rain-making to their operation. That’s usually the case. But what about those who have associated with Donald Trump? What about those who joined on only to learn that this president unleashes such a deluge of noxious garbage that it’s impossible not to get drenched in it and smell really bad. That goes for the ones who are relatively upstanding and certainly includes the bad apples whom Trump picked. With all the scrutiny, they inevitably get caught, their misdeeds exposed by aggressive news media or investigators, most notably special counsel Bob Mueller. Paul Manafort stealthily made millions of dollars for decades by assisting some really rotten world leaders. But under the withering D.C. klieg lights, his lavish lifestyle — paid for in part
by allegedly unlawful financial dealings — was exposed, and he now faces criminal charges punishable by a lifetime of prison. Looking past him and the other Trump patsies who might face the same fate, what about those who survive their time in the administration without indictment? At the very least they may be in for a crashing disappointment. Those who endured the tantrums from the Don, sometimes his ridicule, who were willing to suffer the embarrassment of coming up with preposterous explanations for his blatant lies or ridiculous rationalizations for his constant spew of hatred and ignorance — what does their future hold? What about the highly placed political operators, the Paul Ryans, Mitch McConnells and all the other Republicans who stand accused of being quislings? They may be shocked to discover that the reward may be no reward because they’re too indelibly stained by their association and participation in this nation’s humiliating future. This is assuming our country has any future whatsoever after the world has been assaulted by President Donald Trump for however many years. They may be ostracized as accessories after the fact. Make that “alternative facts.” Those who signed on to burnish their reputations in the job world may discover that they suffer everlasting disrepute. They may find, as a result, that their party is over even before it begins.
Some advice for the president Dear Mr. President, “Would you take this advice I hand you like a brother”? It’s a song lyric from the musical “The Pajama Game,” but fitting here. There is a way you can hang onto your base, keeping them engaged, energized, without the constant Twitter assaults on those who criticize you for attacking them. If you lowered the rhetorical temperature, you might just add numbers to your support going into the midterms and beyond. As a businessman, you have focused on results. You often brag about your success in dealing with members of the opposition party in New York. Why don’t you borrow from that strategy as president? Americans may dislike sore losers, but they hate braggadocios winners even more. As one who admires your policies but thinks you can do better when it comes to your demeanor, I offer you the following suggestions I hope you will take to heart. Let’s start with your recent tweet criticizing basketball star LeBron James. In a CNN interview with Don Lemon, James blamed you for using sports to “divide the country.” Here you scored a twofer, slamming James, but also calling Lemon “the dumbest man on television.” James had spoken earlier in the interview about a school he recently helped open in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. The school helps at-risk children get a better education and James’ philanthropic foundation is working hand in hand with the city’s public schools to improve the prospects of disadvantaged students. It’s a noble and necessary effort. Instead of blasting James and Lemon, you should have invited James to the

White supremacists hold rally in Charlottesville for a second year By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Charlottesville, Virginia, was marking the anniversary of last summer’s white supremacist violence with marches, vigils and other community events that began unfolding peacefully Saturday amid a heavy police presence. As many businesses in a popular downtown shopping district began to open Saturday, law enforcement officers outnumbered visitors. Concrete barriers and metal fences had been erected, and police were searching bags at two checkpoints where people could enter or leave. “It’s nice that they’re here to protect us,” said Lara Mitchell, 66, a sales associate at a shop that sells artwork, jewelry, and other items. “It feels good that they’re here in front of our store. Last year was a whole different story. It looked like a war zone last year compared to what it is today.” Saturday marked the anniversary of a nighttime march by torch-toting white supremacists through the University of Virginia’s campus a day ahead of a larger rally in Charlottesville’s downtown. On Aug. 12, hundreds of white nationalists — including neo-Nazis, skinheads and Ku Klux Klan members — descended on Charlottesville in part to protest the city’s decision decided to remove a monument to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from a park. Violent fighting broke out between attendees and counterprotesters that day. Authorities eventually forced the crowd to disperse, but a car later barreled into a crowd of peaceful counterprotesters, killing 32-yearold Heather Heyer. The day’s death toll rose to three when a state police heli-
copter that had been monitoring the event and assisting with the governor’s motorcade crashed, killing two troopers. Among the remembrance events that occurred Saturday was a “morning of reflection and renewal” at UVA that featured musical performances, a poetry reading and an address from University President James Ryan. Ryan recalled how a group of students and community members faced off against the white supremacist marchers near a statue of Thomas Jefferson on campus, calling it a “remarkable moment of courage and bravery.” Clara Carlson was one of those counterprotesters. Carlson, 22, said she feared for her life when she and a group of her friends were surrounded by the phalanx of young white men at the statue. Carlson’s group locked arms and chanted slogans of their own, including “Black Lives Matter!” and “No Nazis, No KKK, No Fascist USA!” “We don’t want to be painted as victims,” Carlson said Saturday, several hours before students and activists gathered for a rally near the statue on the anniversary of the campus confrontation. Carlson said police didn’t intervene to help her or her friends that night last year. “I remember the police just standing around. They weren’t there to protect us,” she recalled. “I was grateful that I was able to come out of that alive.” On Saturday, however, campus security personnel used metal detectors to screen rally participants and journalists before they entered the university’s famed Rotunda. A helicopter buzzed overhead. Large trucks blocked off the nearby roads. By midafternoon, the city

said hundreds of people had passed through the downtown checkpoints. Police arrested three men in or near the secured perimeter for trespassing, possessing prohibited items and being drunk in public, the city said in a news release. Some community activists were concerned that this year’s heavy police presence could be a counterproductive overreaction. An independent investigation of the rally violence, led by a former federal prosecutor, found the chaos last year stemmed from a passive response by law enforcement and poor preparation and coordination between state and city police. Lisa Woolfork, a University of Virginia professor and Black Lives Matter Charlottesville organizer, said police are mounting a “huge, overwhelming show of force to compensate for last year’s inaction.” “Last year, I was afraid of
the Nazis. This year, I’m afraid of the police,” Woolfork said. “This is not making anyone that I know feel safe.” But others said Saturday they were comforted by the security measures. Kyle Rodland, who took his young sons to get ice cream downtown, said he felt much safer than last year, when he left town with his family and stayed with his parents after seeing people armed with long rifles walking around outside his home. Events marking the anniversary were also expected Sunday in both Charlottesville and Washington, D.C., where Jason Kessler, the primary organizer of last summer’s rally, has obtained a permit for a “white civil rights” rally. Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, said in an interview with The Associated Press that she has been dreading the anniversary of her daughter’s death for months.
WASHINGTON — Russia typically brushes off new U.S. sanctions. Not this time. The Trump administration announcement of export restrictions in response to accusations Moscow used a nerve agent to poison a former Russian spy in Britain sent the ruble tumbling to a two-year low and drew a stern warning from its prime minister. While the initial sanctions may have a limited impact, a second batch expected within months could hit the Russian economy much harder and send already tense relations into a tailspin. If sanctions are expanded even further to target Russia’s top state-controlled banks, freezing their dollar transactions — as proposed under legislation introduced in the Senate this month — it would amount to a “declaration of economic war,” Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said Friday. So much for President Donald Trump’s hopes for better relations with Moscow. On his watch, the U.S. has imposed a slew of sanctions on Russia for human rights abuses, meddling in the U.S. election and Russian military aggression in Ukraine and Syria. For the most part, they have punished Russian officials and associates of President Vladimir Putin rather than targeting broad economic sectors. In 2014, both the U.S. and European Union introduced sanctions that restricted Russia’s access to global financial markets and to equipment for new energy projects. Those measures were punishing, but the sanctions announced by the Trump administration this past week could be even worse. The restrictions were triggered under U.S. law on chemical weapons following a formal U.S. determination that Russia used the Novichok nerve agent to poison former Russian spy
Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the English city of Salisbury in March. The first tranche, due to take effect Aug. 22, will deny export licenses to Russia for the purchase of many items with national security implications. Existing sanctions already prohibit the export of most military and security-related items, but now the ban will be extended to goods such as gas turbine engines, electronics and calibration equipment that were previously allowed on a case-by-case basis. The State Department said it could potentially affect hundreds of millions of dollars in trade. “It’s a significant step, but not an overwhelming one,” said Daniel Fried, a veteran State Department official who served as chief U.S. coordinator for sanctions policy until he retired last year. The penny could drop, though, in three months’ time. Russia has 90 days to “provide assurances” that it will not use chemical weapons in the future and allow inspections. If Russia does not comply, Trump will be obligated to impose a second set of sanctions, applying restrictions on at least three from a menu of options: opposing multilateral bank assistance to Russia, broad restrictions on exports and imports, downgrading diplomatic relations, prohibiting air carrier landing rights and barring U.S. banks from making loans to the Russian government. That could do significantly more economic harm and have a lasting, destabilizing effect on the currency and stock markets. Senior Russian lawmaker Vyacheslav Nikonov said a second set of sanctions may be inevitable and predicted it would pitch relations to new low. The relationship is already routinely described as at its worst since the Cold War. “They are demanding that Russia (accepts) an obligation to refrain from any further use of chemical and bacteriologi-
TORONTO — Canadian police charged a man Saturday for the deaths of two police officers and two civilians in a shooting that struck a nerve in a country that has been roiled in recent months by several instances of mass violence. Police in the eastern city of Fredericton, New Brunswick said that Matthew Vincent Raymond, 48, was arrested and charged with four counts of first-degree murder. Horizon Health, which delivers care for New Brunswick’s Department of Health, said that Raymond was the only person being treated for injuries related to the shooting. He is due to appear in court August 27. The victims have been identified as police Const. Robb Costello, 45, police Const. Sara Burns, 43, Donnie Robichaud, 42, and Bobbie-Lee Wright, 32. Robichaud and Wright were in a relationship, according to Facebook and Robichaud’s cousin, Sean Callahan, who said they had just gotten together at the beginning of August. No motive has been disclosed, and police said they were working to determine a link between the gunman and the couple. Police said Costello and Burns were responding to calls of shots fired at an apartment complex and saw two deceased civilians before being shot and killed themselves. Fredericton police Chief Leanne Fitch said Raymond used a long gun and was in an elevated position when he fired. Fitch said he was shot by police and was in serious but stable condition. Judith Aguilar, an office
manager for Sunfield Apartment Rentals, said Raymond lived in the complex for about four months and was an avid cyclist who often came to pay his rent in cash while wearing a bike helmet. “He seemed like a very normal and pleasant person, really,” she said. “He’s tall and was in fairly good shape because he biked everywhere.” At one point, she said maintenance workers needed to do some work in his apartment and he didn’t want the workers there while he wasn’t present. “He seemed concerned, he said he had an expensive computer and an expensive bike,” she said. “They didn’t even have to go all the way into the apartment, they were just fixing his doorframe at the time.” Residents were stunned by the episode, which took place in a city of 60,000 that last saw a homicide in 2014. But the shooting comes as Canada wrestles with a string of violence, including an instance in Toronto last month where a man with a handgun opened fire in a crowded part of the city, killing two people and wounding 13 before he died in the confrontation. In April, a man who linked himself to a misogynistic online community used a van to run down pedestrians in a busy part of Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring 14. Authorities are also still pursuing leads in an ongoing investigation of a serial killer who has been charged with killing eight men in the city in recent years. In 2014, a shooting in Moncton, New Brunswick left three Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers dead and two wounded.

US sanctions could hit Russian economy By SUSANNAH GEORGE and VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press

cal weapons, which amounts to our acknowledgement that we have used it. But we haven’t,” he said. Things could get even worse if the Defending American Security from Kremlin Aggression Act, which a bipartisan group of senators introduced Aug. 2, makes its way through Congress. It would target Russia’s state-controlled banks and freeze their operations in dollars, which would deal a heavy blow to the Russian economy. The prospects for the legislation becoming law remain uncertain. Medvedev warned the U.S. that such a move would cross a red line and would warrant a Russian response by economic, political or “other means” he did not specify. His tough tone was a departure from past nonchalance from Putin and his lieutenants over the impact of Western sanctions on the Russian economy. Vladimir Vasilyev, a researcher with the Institute of the U.S. and Canada, a government-funded Moscow think tank, said U.S.-Russian ties were now approaching “the point of no return with no prospect for improvement” in sight. Fried said that in addition to uncertainty over sanctions, Moscow’s strong response this time is likely also being fueled by larger inconsistencies in U.S. policy toward Russia. While Trump has hankered for closer ties with Putin, the government he leads has been far less accommodating. “Whatever deal the Russians had or thought they had or thought they could get from President Donald Trump, they’re not able to get it from Trump’s administration,” Fried said. The State Department denied inconsistency in U.S. policy and maintained that sanctions were aimed at encouraging improved behavior from Russia. “We’d like to have a better relationship with the Russian government, recognizing that
we have a lot of areas of mutual concern,” spokeswoman Heather Nauert said. Congress has a less diplomatic view. Trump has repeatedly come under fire from lawmakers, including from his own Republican Party, for his conciliatory statements on Russia, particularly at his joint press conference with Putin at their summit in Helsinki last month where he appeared to doubt U.S. intelligence conclusions that Russia intervened in the 2016 election. Rep. Ed Royce, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was among lawmakers who welcomed the U.S. sanctions announced this week. “It’s critical that we use every tool at our disposal to confront Putin’s use of chemical weapons, as well as his efforts to undermine our democracy,” the Republican from California said.
Thousands attend Arab-led rally against Israeli bill TEL AVIV, Israel — Members of Israel’s Arab minority led a mass protest in central Tel Aviv on Saturday night against a contentious new law that critics say marginalizes the state’s non-Jewish citizens. The rally marked further fallout from the explosive Nation-State law and came a week after thousands of Druze, also members of the Arab minority, packed the same city square last week. Israel’s 1948 declaration of independence defined the country as a Jewish and democratic state and the government says the recently passed bill merely enshrines the country’s existing character. But critics say it undercuts Israel’s democratic values and sidelines the country’s non-Jewish population, namely the Arab community that makes up 20 percent of the country. One clause downgrades the Arabic language from official to “special” standing. Israeli media reported tens of thousands of Jews and Arabs attended the protest. Some Arab protesters waved Palestinian flags and others held signs reading “equality.” Some knelt and preformed Muslim prayers. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted footage on Twitter of protesters waving the Palestinian flags. “No better testament to the necessity of the Nation State law,” he wrote. — Associated Press

Maybe you lost your job, bought too much car or got into a loan you just can’t afford anymore. No matter why your car payments have become unaffordable, it’s important to know what to do. Moving fast can help you avoid missing payments or having your car repossessed. Here’s what you can do to retake control of your car payment.
1. Talk to your lender If you’re on the verge of missing a payment, contact your lender right away. They may be willing to cut you some slack, said Jeff Huang, sales supervisor at Westlake Financial Services, a national auto financing company based in Los Angeles. “Communication is really critical. Talk to your lender, and they’ll likely want to work with you, especially if you’re a loyal customer,” Huang said. “They don’t want to take the car back.” Explaining what’s preventing you from making payments might make your lender more sympathetic, Huang said. The lender may allow “forbearance,” a period of time in which you can skip or make reduced payments.

Working from home certainly comes with benefits. Not only does it allow you to avoid what might be a terrible commute, but it also saves money on travel costs and other expenses associated with working in an office. Still, working from home isn’t for everyone. Here are a few signs it might not be a good arrangement for you. ❚ You crave company: Some people don’t mind locking themselves in a room and plugging away. But if you’re big on social interaction, working from home might prove unpleasantly isolating. Sure, there are instant messaging tools, email and videoconferencing. But those can’t take the place of an office environment in which you’re constantly surrounded by people. ❚ You get distracted easily: In any workplace, you’re apt to face distractions, whether it’s a chatty co-worker or your perpetually dinging smartphone. But when you work from home, you’re likely to give in to distractions
Other possible solutions depend on your situation, so pull a few numbers: ❚ Your car’s value: You can find out
how much your car is worth with an online pricing guide. ❚ How much you owe: Your lender can tell you your payoff amount. ❚ Your interest rate and loan term: Check your loan statement, or ask your lender for the interest rate and how many months you have left to repay. If you owe less than the value of your car, you have positive equity, and you’ll have more options, like downsizing or refinancing.
3. Make your plan Work to find a long-term solution, and be realistic about how much you can afford. If you have positive equity, you can: ❚ Refinance: Shop for the lowest interest rate by contacting credit unions, banks or online lenders. Use an auto refinance calculator to see how much you could save. ❚ Downsize: You could trade in your car or sell it to a dealer to get out from under high car payments. Use the equity in your current car as a down payment on a more affordable vehicle. If you have negative equity, you can: ❚ Catch up and downsize: Use cash or take out a loan to pay the difference between the car’s value and what you owe. You can then sell your car or trade it in for a more affordable ride. ❚ Find savings elsewhere: Consider shopping for cheaper auto insurance. This won’t lower your car payment, but you could apply the savings toward your loan.

more easily, since you won’t have a boss hovering about to call you out on slacking off. If you tend to get distracted, working from home might tempt you to blow off your responsibilities in favor of other household tasks. And that could not only hurt your productivity but also compromise your job. ❚ You’re not motivated: Even if you don’t love your job, when you work in an office, seeing everyone else making an effort can prompt you to do the same. But if you couldn’t care less about your job and are doing it just for the paycheck, working from home could put you in a position where you try even less and risk getting fired. ❚ You’re a workaholic: Many folks struggle with work-life balance, but if you tend to have a hard time pulling yourself away from the computer, working from home might only make things worse. Once you come to associate being home with working, you’re likely to start putting in even more time, and it could end up hurting your mental and physical health. ❚ You don’t have a dedicated work space: If you don’t have a reasonable amount of space in your home to use solely for work, you might get frustrated. Imagine sticking your laptop on the corner of your dining room table and typing away while piles of mail and packages surround you. That’s hardly conducive to success.

Is peer pressure making you overspend? If family vacations are critical, save responsibly Pete the Planner Peter Dunn USA TODAY
The first time I remember peer pressure affecting my life, I capitulated and began wearing a small bottle filled with bubble solution as a token on a necklace. The late eighties weren’t a great time to be a middle school boy. From that moment on, peer pressure (and my wavering resistance of it) has been a ubiquitous part of my life. Peer pressure has affected my relationships, my health, my faith and my finances. And to this day, peer pressure still strikes me as one of the most powerful secret assassins of financial stability and behavior. You already know the obvious application of peer pressure: keeping up with the Joneses. But let’s set that aside and instead consider a sneakier version of peer pressure: family vacations. “My entire extended family goes on vacation together every year,” a good buddy told me recently. Thinking about that situation, I’m curious how many people involved in it are making significant financial decisions based on attending it. How many feel there’s only one option: to go on the group vacation? From what I know about American families, it’s a good bet that there is at least one family within the larger extended family that cannot afford to participate in this group vacation. Yet they go anyway. You might think the financially stressed family comes from the younger members. But, from what I’ve seen, it’s more often the matriarch and patriarch of the family who are doing damage to their financial stability by footing the bill for offspring who couldn’t otherwise afford to attend. When objectively poor decisions are masked with “this is a tradition,” your traditions need to change. Are they fun? Sure. Will they eventually come back to bite you? Yes, they will.
Standing annual appointments for family vacations can be life-affirming but financially draining. GETTY IMAGES
My proposed solution isn’t to tell your family to send you a postcard or to end your tradition because some angry newspaper columnist said so. I want you to do what you’ve always done, but let the peer pressure influence you to take the leap responsibly. Our budgets (or spending habits) have a way of robbing us from affording the moments we truly value. If you love your family vacation more than you love random meals out and other impulse purchases, pre-fund your vacation throughout the year. This will let you avoid the regret of realizing you valued casual dining more than your annual family pilgrimage.
Peer pressure can be used for good. Think about the pressure you feel to make poor financial decisions out of a sense of obligation or emotional manipulation, then use that pressure to motivate you to clear out the less valuable expenditures in your life. Periodically re-evaluate your spending, and I’m guessing you’ll find you are paying for things you no longer value but never took the time to remove from your life. We’re not a culture that naturally rebalances spending to fit new priorities. In fact, we tend to add the spending on new priorities to our current spending. This practice reduces savings and creates debt. And when emotions and fam-
ily ties get involved, we can be further blinded from financial reality and unwilling to make tough, pragmatic choices. Stop letting peer pressure influence you to ignore financial realities. Instead, harness it to help you reprioritize spending and wholly enjoy that family vacation experience.

Hang on, Apple: Phone payments still need work
38% of American workers are not feeling financially well Maurie Backman
Retailers, customers slow to embrace safer tech
The Motley Fool
Rob Pegoraro Special to USA TODAY
Apple Pay and compatible smartphone payment systems are finally conquering CVS and 7-Eleven, but the rest of retail remains a tougher sell. So do customer habits. The news revealed during Apple’s third-quarter earnings announcement will end one of tech’s sillier holdouts. The drugstore and convenience chains, along with a few other big retailers, had backed a doomed mobile-payment scheme, CurrentC, that required scanning barcodes on phone screens. Apple Pay, Google Pay and similar apps on the Apple Watch and competing smartwatches use NFC, short for “near field communication.” (Samsung Pay also employs NFC but adds a separate system to emulate a credit card’s magnetic stripe.) This wireless technology works at least as fast as swiping a card and does so far more securely. But most phone users ignore it, even after all the buzz over Apple Pay since its 2014 launch. “Twenty-nine percent of iPhone users reported using Apple Pay ‘recently’ (i.e., within three months) at the point of sale,” said James Wester, research director for global payments at the market-intelligence firm IDC. “But 19 percent reported their last use of NFC was more than three months ago, and 52 percent said they have never used it.” IDC research showed even worse adoption for Google Pay, the latest name for Google’s phone-payment system. He said continued weak retail support – Target and Walmart still don’t accept NFC – stops people from making phone payment a daily habit. But if you can pay with your phone, you should. NFC payments – even if a place only mentions Apple Pay, any NFC app should work – protect your creditcard account by “tokenizing” it into a

virtual card for each transaction. “I am unaware of any tokenized transaction that has been compromised,” said Jason Blackhurst, a senior vice president for innovation and strategic partnerships at Visa. The only cases of NFC fraud he recalled had thieves using stolen account information to add somebody else’s cards to their phones. (The common scenario of a stolen credit card, incidentally, isn’t covered by “EMV” chip-card security.) Blackhurst noted that this tokenization and encryption adds small overhead costs that phone-payment users don’t pay. “We think it’s worth it, and we’re just eating that cost,” he said. Beyond slow retailer adoption – Blackhurst said some chains worry that accepting NFC payments will let third parties snoop on their customers, even though Visa’s contracts prohibit that – phone payments also suffer from thin international support. The biggest boost to smartphone payments is coming down the track – literally. Transit systems have slowly begun to support them, freeing occasional riders from having to buy yet another proprietary transit smart card or install yet another app to avoid higher cash-only fares.
What does it mean to be financially well? For some, it’s having a certain amount of money in the bank. For others, it’s knowing they can cover their bills without worry. But while it’s difficult to pinpoint what it takes to be in a good place financially, in many ways, it’s easier to know when you’re not there. And according to the 2018 Bank of America Merrill Lynch Workplace Benefits Report, 38 percent of workers don’t consider themselves financially well. In the context of this study, that means these workers are struggling to manage their current finances while preparing for the future and feel they don’t have the capacity to meet their near- and long-term financial goals. If you’re not content with your financial picture, it’s time to change it rather than sit back and accept it. Here are a few things you can do to improve your outlook.
chunk of money in the bank will help ensure that you’re not forced to resort to debt the minute an unplanned bill lands in your lap.
3. Establish good savings habits Many workers worry that they won’t manage to save enough to enjoy a comfortable retirement. But if you get into the habit of consistently funding an IRA or 401(k), you’ll be in a pretty good position to enjoy your golden years. As a general rule, you should aim to set aside 15 percent or more of each paycheck for the future, but if you can’t manage that at present, start slowly and work your way up. Even if you never reach that 15 percent threshold, saving some amount of money every month will go a long way.
1. Follow a budget It’s hard to feel like you’re in your control of your finances when you have no idea where your money is going. So if you’re not following a budget already, carve out an hour of time this weekend and create one. If you find that you’re maxing out your paychecks – or, worse, spending more than what your paychecks allow for – you’ll need to cut corners. Immediately.
2. Build an emergency fund To feel secure in your ability to manage your near-term expenses, you’ll need a safety net for when unexpected bills pop up. And that’s where your emergency fund comes in. That fund should, ideally, contain enough money to cover three to six months’ worth of living expenses, and its purpose is to provide access to cash when unanticipated expenses arise that your paychecks can’t handle. Having a healthy
If thinking about finances is stressful, tackling them head-on and creating a budget may be the answer. GETTY IMAGES
4. Keep your debt in check Carrying debt isn’t only bad for your finances; it’s bad for your mind. For countless Americans, the idea of being saddled with debt is enough to make them feel like failures. Having too much debt can also derail your long-term savings efforts, as those monthly payments could monopolize your income to the point where funding a retirement plan is virtually impossible. The solution? Work on getting out of debt as quickly as you can, and stay away from further debt, especially the credit-card variety, which is the worst type to have.

Investigation revealed that Darrel Shannon, 41, was driving a 1984 Ford pickup northbound on the Seward Highway when he crossed the centerline, ran off the road into the southbound ditch, and struck trees. Shannon and his dog were not injured. Shannon failed field sobriety tests and was arrested for driving under the influence. Shan-

Area football squads go winless on weekend Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The Kenai Central football program opened its 2018 season with a loss and a valuable test against a potential Division II playoff contender. The Kardinals fell to new Division II rival Lathrop 49-21 Saturday afternoon in Fairbanks to drop to 0-1 to start the season. In all, peninsula teams endured a rough 0-5 start to the high school football season. First-year head coach Dustin Aka-
na said the Kardinals’ inexperience cost them at key moments, allowing the Malamutes to capitalize with scoring drives throughout the game. “We’re young, both on offense and defense, we have guys that haven’t played a lot of varsity,” Akana said. “So today was a learning opportunity for coaching staff and players, especially those who haven’t played varsity before. “We have only one way to go, and that’s up.” Kenai junior Titus Riddall led the
offense with 80 rush yards and two touchdowns, while second-year senior quarterback Connor Felchle hit 10 of 12 targets for 21 yards, and junior Kayden Daniels helped out with a touchdown pass on two passing attempts. On the other side of the ball, Kenai had trouble stopping Lathrop’s Bubba Maschmeier, who rolled to 214 rush yards and scored three times, including an 80-yard kickoff return. Lathrop QB Jaden Littell was efficient with 13 of 17 passing for 142 yards.
After falling into a 14-0 hole, Kenai got on the board in the second quarter with Riddall’s punch-in from 1 yard out, capping a drive that included a key fourth-down conversion on an 8-yard catch by Justin Anderson. Lathrop answered immediately with Maschmeier’s kickoff return, and Kenai came back with a scoring drive that ended with another Riddall run into the end zone, making it 21-12 after a failed two-point attempt. Leading 28-12 at halftime, Lathrop iced the game with a scoring drive in
the third quarter. After a Kenai field goal kick, Braedon Pitsch wrapped up the scoring with a touchdown catch in the final seconds. On defense, Riddall had an interception and Bailey Maxson recorded one sack.

West snaps streak Dramatic touchdown on final play stops SoHi at 59 By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
So, The Streak is over. As the saying goes, all good things come to an end. The West Anchorage Eagles snapped Soldotna’s staterecord win streak at 59 games in a Friday night showdown for the ages at Justin Maile Field with an 18-13 victory. In the end, it came down to one heartstopping play, a fourth-down attempt on the one-inch line with 2.8 seconds left, and West backup quarterback Bubba Mendoza provided the clincher with a QB sneak through the middle, waiting for refs to call touchdown before joining his teammates in a wild postgame celebratory riot at midfield. “We preach family,” Mendoza stated. “We play for the
‘A’ on the front of our chests, and for us, we treated this like it was just another game.” After falling to SoHi in each of the two previous years, the Eagles finally cashed in with an electrifying drive to end it. But as head coach Galen Brantley Jr. explained, it was all the mistakes and turnovers (five of them) before that that snowballed into a heartbreaking finish. “I wish we didn’t have the self-inflicted wounds that started it,” Brantley Jr. said. “We had five turnovers, and still had a chance to win a game, which I think is amazing.” As for the state-record 59game win streak? Who knows how long that will last. For SoHi, it lasted almost six years exactly to the day. It
was 2,190 days earlier that the Stars took a loss, a 27-7 defeat to Palmer on home turf, back when it was still natural grass, of course. “I want to be crushed, but honestly I’m just so proud to hang onto it as long as we did,” Brantley Jr. said. “We’ve had some breaks along the way, some 50-50 calls that went our way. “I guess the football gods flipped the script tonight.” Before SoHi’s remarkable streak, the previous Alaska football win streak was 29 games, both by SoHi and East from over a decade ago. An ecstatic Eagles head coach Tim Davis celebrated with his players at midfield following the final whistle, and said he respects SoHi’s Soldotna junior Aaron Faletoi (8) is comforted by West player program by mirroring his own Zach Tiu following SoHi’s loss to West on Friday at Justin Maile See STREAK, page B4 Field in Soldotna.

The Soldotna cross-country team got its season started at the Colony Invitational on Saturday, with the girls finishing second and the boys finishing third. Division II powerhouse Grace Christian swept the girls and boys titles. On the girls side, the Grizzlies scored 29 points while Soldotna was next with 53, Colony was third with 69 and Wasilla was fourth with 76. On the boys side, Grace Christian won with 42 points while Wasilla had 46, Soldotna had 57 and Colony had 78. Last season, the Warriors broke Kodiak’s string of 15 straight Region 3 titles at the Division I level, while the Stars were second at regions just two points behind the Warriors. Wasilla’s Allison VanPelt won the girls race handily in 19 minutes, 35 seconds, with Grace’s Mazzy Jackson taking second at 20:25. Tanis Lorring paced Soldotna in fourth at 21:47, while Erika Arthur was ninth at 22:34, Ellie Burns was 10th at 22:42, Cameron Blackwell was 13th at 23:08, Victoria Denison was 17th at 23:52 and Haley Buckbee was 22nd at 26:13. Grace Christian’s Gabe Martin nabbed the boys victory in 17 minutes, 9 seconds, with Colony’s Gavin Block next at 17:27. Bradley Walters led the Stars by finishing fourth at 17:37. Also for Soldotna, Lance Chilton was seventh at 18:33, Jack Harris was 10th at 18:46, Zachary Burns was 18th at 19:06, Anchor Musgrave was 22nd at 19:43, Nathanael Johnson was 24th at 20:02 and Quinn Cox was 27th at 22:07.

Runners tie for a good cause Voight, Schwarz finish together in Run for Women 10K; Calvert captures 5K By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

As a former collegiate track and field athlete, Minnesota runner Angie Voight is a competitor. But when there is a worthy cause on the line, Voight puts aside her hunger to win and competition goes out the window. Voight crossed the finish line side-by-side with running accomplice Casey Schwarz in Saturday’s LeeShore Center Run for Women to forge a tie for victory in the 10-kilometer race, although official results technically had Schwarz with the win. Voight is an annual competitor in the event, with over 20 appearances since first running it in 1996, and has made it a habit to show up on road trips each summer. This summer, she returned for another overall victory in the race, and brought a friend along. “This is like, the 20th time for me, but the first for Casey,” Voight
said, nodding to her fellow friend and competitor. “We’re here with my mom, my nieces and my brother.” Schwarz said the weather conditions were ideal for a race Saturday morning, but the laid-back pace she and Voight enjoyed was a perfect start to her Alaska experience. “As we age, our bodies are telling us to get off the pavement,” Schwarz said with a laugh. “But she’s dragging me along to these races, and this one is important. We signed up for just that reason.” The two lithe endurance athletes jogged down Main Street in Kenai to cross together in a time of 42 minutes, 54 seconds. The 5K race win went to Jaycie Calvert in 20:52, while 15-year-old Tyler Johnson crossed just in front of Calvert to win the boys race in 20:48. The event, in its 31st year of running, is a benefit for the LeeShore Center, which has served as a 24hour domestic violence and sexual assault shelter for Kenai and the
central Peninsula since May 1977, providing a safe place for women and children to go. Schwarz said she once worked at a domestic violence center, and so Saturday’s race held more meaning for her than most other events. “It was a huge motivating factor,” Schwarz said. “This one was important.” The 41-year-old Voight has won either the 5K or 10K race at least 10 times since her first Run for Women at 19, and Voight said she and Schwarz average about 20 to 30 races a year, but Saturday was the first one she purposefully tried to finish in a tie. Saturday, they crossed together sporting the names of their racing teams on their singlets — Voight with “Run N Fun,” and Schwarz with “Twin Cities Running Co.” “We do all kinds of road races, marathons and team circuits from where we are,” Schwarz said. Voight and Schwarz were able See RUN, page B2

to put a gap on the rest of the field early, pulling away to contend for the race win between themselves. Third-place Sarah Walton finished 4 1/2 minutes behind in a time of 47:20. Calvert won her second Run for Women 5K race, adding to the one she claimed in 2016. She said she typically uses the late summer event as a tuneup for the high school cross-country season. Calvert will join her Kenai Central teammates Monday for the Nikiski Class Races. “It’s nice to get a race in before Monday, to see where you are,” Calvert said. “I’ve been putting in a lot of training in the offseason.” Calvert said she managed to distance herself from the pack on the way back following the halfway turnaround, but couldn’t catch Johnson at the end.

half to pound the Bulldogs in the season opener in Barrow. Under sunny and warm skies, Nikiski head coach Paul Nelson said the Week 1 game was a useful tuneup to see where the Bulldogs’ weaknesses lie. “Really, we were kind of outmanned,” Nelson said. “They have some big dudes, they’re tough and they play hard, and we just kind of wore out as the game went on. “Defensively, it was hard for us to make tackles, so we have a little bit to do on conditioning to make up for that.” Nelson said Nikiski opted to receive the opening kickoff, but were taken by surprise when Barrow went for the onside kick and recovered, leading to a Whalers touchdown on the first drive of the game. From there, the Bulldogs held their own and moved the ball almost 60 yards on a six-minute drive down the field, but ultimately couldn’t convert

on fourth down, handing the ball back to Barrow. With three turnovers in the first half, Nelson said Nikiski wasn’t helping its case. “They kind of caught us off-guard after that,” Nelson said. “We had a couple good stops on defense, some good drives, but we just couldn’t punch it in.” Nelson said Nikiski put together another solid drive as halftime approached, but fumbled the ball away, leading to another Barrow scoring drive as the Whalers went up 12-0. After running the score to 40-0, Nikiski finally got on the board in the final minute of the game on a Noah Litke touchdown pass to Cody Handley, who corralled in a throw from about 30 yards out to score. Litke found Sam Berry in the end zone for the ensuing two-point conversion.

but the Mariners are coming off a close loss in the Division III state championship game last season. Kodiak scored on the opening drive, with senior Micah Bartel storming into the end zone on a 22-yard run. The drive marked a smashing debut for new Kodiak coach Bryan Ellsworth and his single-wing offense. Ellsworth then further put his stamp on the game by calling for an onside kick and getting a recovery. Senior Kaleb Finley then scored on a 5-yard scamper for a 16-0 lead with 8:28 showing on the clock. Bartel would end up scoring four times and amassing 264 yards on just eight carries. Finley scored twice and rushed for 109 yards on eight carries. Senior Corbit Brewer also scored for Kodiak on an 88-yard kick return, while sophomore Igan Galindez scored on an 11-yard run.

opening loss Saturday on home turf, falling to 0-1. Seward head coach Kelly Cinereski pointed to the excess penalties that the Seahawks committed in the loss that “left 14 points on the table.” “They had a good (offensive) line and we showed our youth,” explained Cinereski. “Right before the half, we were on the half-yard line and we fumbled the snap. Things like that.” Beau Freiberg scored twice for Seward to record all 12 points, and also had a kickoff return called back on a holding call. Cinereski praised the efforts of running backs Gabe Schrock and Chris Kingland, who had good carries of the ball. “Overall the kids played well, but we’ve got some learning to do,” he said. “We think they did pretty well considering.” MALAMUTES 49, KARDINALS 21 Kenai 0 12 3 6 —21 Lathrop 14 14 14 7 —49 INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing — Kenai: Riddall 19-80, Anderson 15-51, Burnett 10-49, Felchle 1-(-3).

T
he events kept going strong this week at Birch Ridge Golf Course. For Senior Men’s Day on Monday, 17 men came out to enjoy golf and fellowship. The format was both low net and fewest putts. Fewest putts went to Kevin O’Fallon (12). Low net went to Sid Cox (30). Closest to the pin on No. 6 was Darell Jelsma and on No. 8 was Pat McElroy. Darell Jelsma is directing the show and is and has been playing different games to make it more interesting. We welcome all men over 50 with a handicap and if you don’t have a handicap, we can get you one. Just a few ladies came out Tuesday, with the sky cloudy and with rain in the forecast. The format was a poker hand on a mystery hole and that was won by Georgia Bentley. Denise Cox, the lady that organizes the Ladies Day, said, “The greens are absolutely beautiful.” Beth Roseberry chipped in at the fourth. Men’s Night on Wednesday was big, with 26 players showing up. Two teams finished at 29, but after a chip-off, the team of Robert Stiver, Shane Sundberg and Trevor Baldwin beat the team of Mike Hollingsworth, Darell Jelsma, George Stein and Del Hoagland.

Allgaier takes Xfinity race LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) — Justin Allgaier used fresh tires to pass rookie Austin Cindric with four laps left and win the NASCAR Xfinity Series race Saturday at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Allgaier used the sixth restart of the race to squeeze by Cindric on Turn 1, then held off his challenge on the 72nd lap for his third series win of the year. He also won at Dover and
Iowa for JR Motorsport. He was seventh for the last restart on Lap 69 but had used the caution to replace all four tires. “We needed to get up front,” Allgaier said. “We know the last restart was going to be pivotal.” Cindric, the pole-sitter for Team Penske, finished 2.05 seconds back after leading 59 of the 75 laps on the 2.258mile, 13-turn road course.

Cousins has perfect debut for Vikes By The Associated Press
DENVER — Kirk Cousins was perfect in his cameo, and then kicked back and watched two former Broncos quarterbacks tear apart their old teammates. Cousins completed all four of his passes in the Vikings’ 42-28 exhibition victory Saturday night, including a 1-yard touchdown strike on a quick slant to Stefon Diggs . “I think it was a smooth first drive but it is a small sample size and the next couple of weeks will be a good test for us,” Cousins said. Diggs called it a good first step. “He’s a good quarterback,” Diggs said. “He makes some great throws.” Case Keenum wasn’t nearly as sharp in his Denver debut, completing just 1 of 4 passes for 5 yards spanning two drives. “It’s just frustrating not play-
ing well and you don’t have a chance to bounce back from it,” Keenum said. Cousins was the crown jewel of this year’s free-agent class of quarterbacks, signing an $84 million, three-year deal in Minneapolis. That meant Keenum was out two months after leading the Vikings to the NFC championship, and he signed a $36 million, two-year deal with Denver. The Broncos then traded their starter, Trevor Siemian, to the Vikings to serve as Cousins’ backup — so long as he beats out Kyle Sloter, another former Denver QB. That left Paxton Lynch and Chad Kelly vying for No. 2 duty in Denver. So, this preseason opener was filled with quarterback intrigue. After Cousins’ single series — one in which he didn’t have to face Von Miller — Siemian led Minnesota on three scoring
drives, most notably a screen Chargers’ Philip Rivers, compass to Roc Thomas that beat the pleted 14 of 23 passes for 218 blitz for a 78-yard score . yards, including a 47-yard touchdown throw to Geremy Davis.

program after the Stars. “I am honored to be a part of this,” said Davis. “The dudes in white (West) are all a family, and tonight … you can’t script that.” West’s lethal spread attack was able to put 238 passing yard on the Stars, but SoHi’s punishing ground game answered with 223 rushing yards, led by Aaron Faletoi’s 56 rush yards and Wyatt Medcoff’s 54. For the first time in their last three meetings, West outgained SoHi in total yardage, 330 to 258. Eagles starting quarterback Josh Stoltz hit 14 of 22 targets for 203 yards before leaving the game late in the fourth quarter with an injury. The wild final sequence was preceded by a tense, sloppy game of football that had the Stars leading a game they probably should not have been. SoHi was forced to an uncharacteristic five turnovers on the night, including four by starting quarterback Jersey Truesdell. Truesdell threw two picks and fumbled twice, including on each of the final two SoHi possessions. “We beat ourselves,” said a dejected Truesdell. “We win and lose as a team, but that’s three different times I coughed the ball up when we were driv-

crombie in Kodiak. The Mariners had spent the week in Kodiak doing things like trail running, trail building, mountain climbing and running intervals. They ended it with the first meet in 20 years without former head coach Marcus Dunbar, who retired. Ashley Mortenson, who assisted Dun-
ing.” The Stars were leading 1312 and driving deep in Eagles territory to seemingly ice away another win. This one would have been a 60th in a row. However, Truesdell fumbled a snap with 3:09 left and West defensive back Joshua Asi recovered it, giving the Eagles another chance. Mendoza, filling in for injured starting QB Stoltz, suddenly became the flame that lit a fire under the Eagles, making up chunk yardage on the first four plays from West’s own seven-yard line. Before they knew it, West was in SoHi territory when Mendoza found receiver Kolton Ortiz streaking downfield on a long slant, with Ortiz racing down the sideline before being tackled. The 53-yard play put the Eagles on the Stars 27 with 48 seconds left. A 20-yard scramble by Mendoza put the ball at the SoHi 5 with under 30 seconds to play, but it took all four downs to make something happen. After a potential touchdown by Malala was called just shy of the goal line, West was facing fourth down with 2.8 seconds left. Mendoza began the final play from the shotgun position, then quickly moved up to the line and under center, keying the SoHi defense to move up as well, but Mendoza had enough help to push across the line and score as the buzzer sounded. bar that past five years, is the new head coach. Kodiak won the boys meet 15-0, because Homer did not have enough runners to field a team. Paul Winegeart of Kodiak won the race in 18:04. Homer’s Clayton Beachy led his team by finishing third at 19:46, though Beachy was officially an unattached runner because he did not have enough practices to compete. Homer won the girls dual meet 17-41. The Mariners took the top three slots in the girls

“The coaches do so much, they move the chess pieces around,” Mendoza said. “He got us,” Truesdell added. “It happens, but we win with class, and we lose with class.” Brantley Jr. added that it was a sight to see a school of almost 2,000 students celebrate a win over a school only a third the size of West. “We just made a school of 1,900 kids celebrate by throwing their helmets up like it was the college national championship,” he said. Prior to the finish, the two sides found difficulty scoring, with a 21-yard sideline pass to the endzone from Truesdell to Galen Brantley III being the only points of the first half, which SoHi led 6-0. West had trouble moving the ball at all through most the game, but finally woke up in the second half, starting with
its first possession of the third quarter, an 11-play, 75-yard drive that was capped with a four-yard run up the middle by Lewis Malala Jr. to tie it a 6 apiece. SoHi later took advantage of a turnover-on-downs by West early in the fourth to score on a 36-yard touchdown sneak by Truesdell, putting the Stars up 13-6 with 11:08 to play. The Eagles answered right back with an electric 80-yard catch and pass by David Cason down the sideline, but the Eagles failed to take the lead on their two-point attempt when Malala Jr. stumbled to the turf after catching the pass from Josh Stoltz with nothing but space in front of him. The mistake left SoHi clinging to a 13-12 lead, a lead which held up to the final second of the game. The Stars had two drives

Koepka leads PGA Championship By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer
ST. LOUIS — Brooks Koepka sometimes gets ignored on television in the list of notable scores. In the gym, he gets overlooked by Dustin Johnson There is no mistaking him in a major. Koepka bullied rain-softened Bellerive on Saturday in the PGA Championship, building a five-shot lead until he had to scramble to avoid a slide on the back nine. He settled for a 4-under 66 and a two-shot lead over Adam Scott going into the final round of the final major of the year. At stake is a chance to win three of the last six majors he played, and to join an elite list — Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen — as the only players to win the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same year. “You can’t hide when you’re on the top of the leaderboard,” he said. “You can’t hide my name. So just try to get to the top of the leaderboard and work from there.” Even so, one misstep and it might be easy to get lost at this major. Scott had a 65, despite miss-
ing three putts from 6 feet, two of them for birdie. He is struggling through his worst season since he turned pro in 2000, and now has a chance to turn it into a year he won’t forget. Ten players were within four shots of the lead, no name bigger — no buzz bigger — than Woods. He completed his second round Saturday morning with a 66, and then had another 66 in the afternoon that was so good it was the worst he could have shot. He made nothing but pars over the last 10 holes. On seven of the last eight holes, Woods had a birdie or eagle putt of 20 feet or closer and missed them all. He was four shots behind in a tie for sixth, the same spot he was in going in the final day at the British Open last month, when he briefly had the lead before fading. “I just wish I could have got myself a couple more shots closer to the lead,” Woods said. “But there aren’t a lot of guys up there in front of me.” The list included Jon Rahm (66), Rickie Fowler (69) and Gary Woodland (71), who gave himself a chance despite falling six shots behind after a triple bogey from his footprints in the sand at No. 10.
Koepka was at 12-under 198 and even with his major pedigree — the first player with back-to-back U.S. Opens in 29 years — he will play in the final group of a major for the first time. Koepka was in the penultimate group at the U.S. Opens he won. He plans to spend Sunday morning working out, as he has done all week at a local gym. Koepka was there Saturday morning with Johnson and noticed everyone trying to get pictures of the world’s No. 1 player. “They were like, ‘Did you see the No. 1 player in the world was here?’ I don’t know what to say to that,” Koepka said with a laugh. He cares only about inside the ropes, and he thrives in the majors. “Every shot’s so important out here,” he said. No shots were more important than a four-hole stretch he played in 2 over that turned Sunday into what could be a free-for-all. An 8-foot par save on No. 13 gave him a five-shot lead, but then two errant drives led to consecutive bogeys — the first one from 100 feet away in a bunker, ending a streak
of 43 holes without a bogey, the next one when his tee shot stopped rolling at the base of a tree and forced him to take a one-shot penalty to move it away. He had to get up-anddown to limited the damage to a bogey. And then he made a 10-foot par. “Try to make the best out of a bad situation and keep rolling,” Koepka said. Koepka won the U.S. Open on two different courses that required one extreme to the other in scoring — 16 under at Erin Hills, 1 over at Shinnecock Hills. Bellerive presents a different test. It’s so soft that the average score Saturday was 69.5, and a charge can come from anywhere. “Not just myself, but everyone’s going to have to shoot low rounds,” Woods said. “It’s soft, it’s gettable, and you can’t just go out there and make a bunch of pars.” Scott got into the hunt with four birdies in a six-hole stretch on the front, set up by his pure driving and iron play, and limited mistakes with the putter. His only miss was from inside 3 feet for par on the 15th hole, though he answered immediately with a tee shot to 2 feet at the par-3 16th.
down the field that ended in turnovers. The first drive went 34 yards to the West 33-yard line, but a fourth-down incompletion gave the Eagles the ball back. The second went down to West’s seven-yard line with just over three minutes on the clock, and any score would have provided some breathing room for SoHi, but Truesdell’s fumbled snap set up the Eagles for some lasting heroics.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Aug. 12, the 224th day of 2018. There are 141 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 12, 1981, IBM introduced its first personal computer, the model 5150, at a press conference in New York. On this date: In 1859, poet and English professor Katharine Lee Bates, who wrote the words to “America the Beautiful,” was born in Falmouth (FAHL’muhth), Mass. In 1898, fighting in the Spanish-American War came to an end. In 1909, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home to the Indianapolis 500, first opened. In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt nominated Hugo Black to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1944, during World War II, Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., eldest son of Joseph and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, was killed with his co-pilot when their explosives-laden Navy plane blew up over England. In 1953, the Soviet Union conducted a secret test of its first hydrogen bomb. In 1962, one day after launching Andrian Nikolayev into orbit, the Soviet Union also sent up cosmonaut Pavel Popovich; both men landed safely Aug. 15. In 1977, the space shuttle Enterprise passed its first solo flight test by taking off atop a Boeing 747, separating, then touching down in California’s Mojave (moh-HAH’-vee) Desert. In 1985, the world’s worst single-aircraft disaster occurred as a crippled Japan Airlines Boeing 747 on a domestic flight crashed into a mountain, killing 520 people. (Four people survived.) In 1992, after 14 months of negotiations, the United States, Mexico and Canada announced in Washington that they had concluded the North American Free Trade Agreement. Avant-garde composer John Cage died in New York at age 79. In 2000, the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk and its 118-man crew were lost during naval exercises in the Barents Sea. In 2004, New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey announced his resignation and acknowledged that he’d had an extramarital affair with another man. Ten years ago: Declaring “the aggressor has been punished,” the Kremlin ordered a halt to Russia’s devastating assault on Georgia -- five days of air and ground attacks that left homes in smoldering ruins and uprooted 100,000 people. Michael Phelps won the 200-meter freestyle for his third gold medal at the Beijing Games. Five years ago: James “Whitey” Bulger, the feared Boston mob boss who became one of the nation’s most-wanted fugitives, was convicted in a string of 11 killings and dozens of other gangland crimes, many of them committed while he was said to be an FBI informant. (Bulger is now serving a life sentence in federal prison.) One year ago: A car plowed into a crowd of people peacefully protesting a white nationalist rally in the Virginia college town of Charlottesville, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and hurting more than a dozen others. (The 21-year-old Ohio man accused in the attack, James Alex Fields, would face a state murder charge and federal hate-crimes charges.) President Donald Trump condemned what he called “this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides;” Democrats and some Republicans called on Trump to specifically denounce white supremacy. Two Virginia state policemen were killed in a helicopter crash while monitoring the Charlottesville protests. Today’s Birthdays: Actor George Hamilton is 79. Actress Dana Ivey is 77.

What’s for dinner? My wife and I had a taste of what life will be like with our kids out of the house this summer. Our son, heading into his senior year of high school, spent the summer set-netting in Bristol Bay. And our daughter, a sophomore, spent a few weeks in July at a couple of different camps. When I say we had a “taste” of what it will be like when the kids are off to college, I mean it literally. Because when I put food in the refrigerator or cabinet, it was still there when I went to look for it the next day. Both kids have been back in the house for a couple weeks, and if I want to find food I leave in the fridge now, it usually means going back to the store to get more. In fact, this was the first time in a long time that I was able to enjoy a whole bunch of grapes; usually, the closest I get is the raisins I put in my oatmeal — and even that is sometimes questionable. Fresh grapes are usually gone as soon as they’re out of the grocery bag. Leftovers also were still left over. My son has a remarkable ability to turn anything he finds in the fridge into breakfast. He either puts it on a bagel or cooks it with an egg — sometimes both — and he has his first meal of the day. With him gone, burgers were still there for lunch or dinner. There were some drawbacks, though. We had the same three boxes of cereal in the cabinet for the entire month. By the time the kids got home, the toasted O’s were a little chewy. But the kids are back, and cereal is back on the grocery list. This past week, a coworker brought brownies to the office to share. I took mine home on my lunch break, anticipating a nice brownie sundae that evening. When I got home, I was trying to figure out where I should stash it so it would still be there that night. I thought about the back of the refrigerator, where no one ever looks, or in the cabinet behind the dog treats, where no one looks for people food. Then I remembered the last time my parents came to visit, and they were each stashing their own treats in cabinets around the house. My dad put a big bag of M&Ms in the cereal cabinet, but apparently had not sealed the bag. When one of the kids reached in for a box of cereal, the bag tipped over, and it sounded like one of those rain sticks as the entire contents spilled out. My dad salvaged what he could, and then put the bag in his suitcase. However, he left the suitcase open, as well as the bedroom door, and one of the dogs got into the bag. So with that in mind, I decided against trying to hide the food, and just put sticky note on it that said “DAD!” and left it on the counter, hidden in plain sight. As a side note, I did offer to share the brownie with my son, but when I called him from the kitchen, he must’ve had his headphones on, so he didn’t hear me. Oh well, his loss. He ended up with a treat anyway — and it turned out that hiding snacks behind the dog treats would’ve been a bad idea. My daughter came home from the Wednesday concert in the park with a bag of kettle corn, which she stashed behind the Yummie Chummies. When we got back from the Thursday bike race, there was a lot less kettle corn in the bag. She immediately went to my son to see if he was the culprit. He freely admitted to it, to which she lamented, “But I trusted you like a brother!” That might’ve been her mistake right there. That, and expecting there to be something left the next day. I guess you could say she got a taste of what we had been missing all summer. Will Morrow lives in Kenai. Email him at wkmorrow@ptialaska.net.
Community The Recycling Bin In 2017, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Central Peninsula Solid Waste Department recycled 44,806 pounds of aluminum cans. Aluminum is an amazing material; it is not only versatile and 100% recyclable but it is the world’s most sustainable material. Very possibly the aluminum skiff you last went out on the water with was made from recycled aluminum. The first LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building in California was the Capital Area East End Building in Sacramento where Summer temperatures can get into the 100’s. This certification was awarded in part because of a high-performance non-reflective aluminum curtain wall that cools the building naturally. The Soldotna Landfill and all of the transfer facilities accept aluminum in their recycling dumpsters.

Editor’s Note: The accompanying photo for this and future Saturday Heloise pet columns will be available to newspapers that receive the column through the website. If you receive the column by AP wire or U.S. mail and would like to receive the photo at no extra charge, you can download it. Call Reed Brennan Media Associates Customer Service at (800) 708-7311, ext. 236. Dear Heloise: Let’s talk about FEEDING OUR PETS. Here are three of my favorite food hints when it comes to furry friends: 1. I say “no” to “free feeding.” My dog has 30 minutes in the morning to eat. Then I pick up her bowl. And she has 30 minutes at night to eat. And then I pick up the bowl. There was a learning curve, but she’s trained her tummy to expect foods at these times. 2. When introducing a new food and going off the old food, that’s a process, too. I’ll pour 1/4 of the new food into the old for a few days, then mix it half and half, and so on. This limits tummy upset. 3. Treats are rare, and therefore appreciated. Table scraps? No. (Well, maybe a tiny bite once in a while!) -- Julie W., via email Thanks, Julie! I’m sure my veterinary friends would agree with you! Readers, what hints help your pets eat healthy and well? Email Heloise(at) Heloise.com. -- Heloise

I considered writing her mother a letter letting her know I have these things and would like to return them. I know there’s really no way of easing into this. I’m pretty sure, however, that a mom would like to have her daughter’s things. Abigail Van Buren Your advice would be appreciated. -- TREADING LIGHTLY DEAR TREADING: Because the items belonged to her daughter, box them up and send them to your ex-mother-inlaw. And when you do, include a note explaining that you thought she would like to have them. Period. DEAR ABBY: I read your column often, and it appears to me that if everyone would just take a few moments to step back and think, “What if someone said/did this to me? How would I feel?” the world would be a smidge kinder. What do you think? Is it that simple, or am I just simple-minded? -- PONDERING IN ALBUQUERQUE DEAR PONDERING: You are not simple-minded. You are paraphrasing a variation of the Golden Rule, which is found in the Bible and has been preached from the pulpit since it was written. We need to apply it now more than ever. And yes, it IS just that simple. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Wife’s deep, dark secret is credit card debt she’s hiding DEAR ABBY: I am married to a great man, but he’s very tight with his money. We found out early in our relationship that we couldn’t have a joint account because it caused so much fighting. We share our bills, but I am broke all the time. I have credit card debt he doesn’t know about. (He hates being in debt.) I have had a problem with credit cards before, and he threatened that if it happened again, we are done. How do I tell him I have more credit card debt without losing him? -- SWIMMING IN DEBT DEAR SWIMMING: Go online and begin researching accredited or certified credit counselors. Make sure the one you choose is affiliated with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc. org). While you’re at it, get on the internet and locate the nearest chapter of Debtors Anonymous. It’s a 12-step program group for individuals who cannot control their spending. You will find it at www.debtorsanonymous.org. Because you are compulsive about abusing credit cards, prepare yourself for the fact that you may have to get rid of all of them. And when (not if) you inform your husband about what’s been going on, be sure he knows you are WILLING to do that. I wish you luck and recovery. DEAR ABBY: My first wife, “Charlene,” died eight years ago from an accident caused by her diabetes. Six months after her funeral, I was introduced to a lovely woman and subsequently married her. When I told my former mother-in-law I had started seeing someone, she asked me to cease all contact with her and the rest of the family. I complied with her wish. Since Charlene’s death, I have kept her personal photo album. It contains pictures and memorabilia from when she was a child and teenager. I also have some afghans her grandmother made for her. I would like to return them to her parents, but I’m afraid of the potential pain it could cause.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018: This year you will open up to different possibilities that could affect your lifestyle and interactions. Know that you are making the final decision to go down a new path. You also can decide to stay put. If you are single, you might attract someone who can be touchy. Ultimately, this person’s critical nature might encourage you to keep dating. If you are attached, you need to express acceptance, understanding and trust toward your significant other. During difficult periods, these characteristics will help both of you ride things out. VIRGO fusses so much that you might want to avoid him or her. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Settle in after you deal with an expense that could affect the quality of your life. Stay on top of an issue that involves an older friend or family member. This person knows what he or she wants. The issue remains: Can you both agree on a solution? Tonight: Clear out an errand or two. This Week: Say what you think, rather than hold back. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Your imagination decides to hop into the driver’s seat, which could affect plans. Others might be starting to see you as unpredictable as opposed to the bedrock of your crowd of friends. Someone has difficulty grasping where you are coming from. Tonight: Let your inner child out. This Week: Tackle a creative project. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might be needing some time with a friend in whom you often confide. What is shared might cause you to pull back and take another look at a key relationship. Someone in your life could become quite remote; give him or her space to think. Tonight: Zero in on a relationship. This Week: Let your imagination speak. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You need to weigh the pros and cons of a situation. You can think of various ways of airing out a problem. Stay open to communication from a friend who will shed some light on a hassle. A partner or loved one could suddenly become unstable. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. This Week: Speak your mind and others will listen. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Sometimes you cannot get away from an expenditure. Today provides a prime example of that limitation. You might need to do some price comparison. A family member could surprise you with a different perspective. Listen to what is being shared. Tonight: Don’t fuss too much. This Week: From Tuesday on, others will become more responsive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your outgoing personality will emerge, as others seem to pull back for various reasons. Someone from a dis-
tance will surprise you with a total change of perspective. You want to get a certain project done, so make it happen sooner rather than later. Tonight: Speak your mind. This Week: Deal with problems on Monday. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You won’t be able to evoke the reaction you desire, no matter what you do. Fatigue will mark your day. Be sure to take some personal time. You have a handful of projects to get through, but remember to give yourself a break. Get some R and R. Tonight: Stay home. This Week: Your smile could win the day! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Stay near your friends, as they know the right path to have a great day. You could be mulling over a decision and not be present with others. A family member might be difficult. Know that you will get better results if you don’t pressure him or her. Tonight: Out and about. This Week: Use Monday and Thursday to push a plan ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might want to understand an older friend or a loved one better. Be observant about this person’s comfort levels. As you strive to merge different interests with this person, you are likely to feel uncomfortable. Use care with your finances. Tonight: Make dinner a special treat. This Week: Use your ability to come to terms with an important decision. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could be tired of an issue that keeps repeating in different areas of your life. As this hassle emerges one more time, you will be tempted to greet it with mental fatigue. Turn your energy around and attempt to tackle the problem one more time. Tonight: Follow the music. This Week: Reach out to a key person in your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Your upbeat style touches many people and helps them relax or at least gain a new perspective. As friendly as you might be, you could be hiding some regret. Discuss an issue that you might be trying to work through by yourself. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll. This Week: Deal with a partner directly. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might want someone else to make the first move. You might decide to wait out the situation until the other party takes the first step. Honor this person’s needs. At the same time, do not negate certain principles from which you work. Tonight: Sort through some questions. This Week: Others dominate. BORN TODAY Filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille (1881), tennis player Pete Sampras (1971), actress Yvette Nicole Brown (1971)

Getting Along at Home
Talk it through
Mini Fact:
If you’re having trouble getting along with siblings, it might be helpful to calmly talk about the things that bug you and things you like. Here’s a chart to get you started. Make a copy for each sibling, then talk about the things you marked. Add your own items.
Your brother or sister may be your best friend when you’re grown-ups.

As the new school year approaches, kids and teachers start thinking about how to get along with others. One of the best places to start is at home, with your siblings, or brothers and sisters. The Mini Page checked in with Dr. William T. Garrison for some ideas about getting along better with sisters and brothers.
Sibling rivalry
“‘Rivalry’ means competition,” Dr. Garrison says. “Competition between brothers and sisters is normal. It shows up as jealousy and in other ways. “If your brother or sister has something that he or she does really well, the chances are that there is something that you are good at, too. Remember that everyone is different.”
Parents’ attention
“Every child wants as much attention from their parents as they can get,” Dr. Garrison explains. “You have to learn to share this attention. Older siblings can help parents by paying attention to their younger brothers and sisters, too.”
Younger siblings “Younger kids often look up to their older brothers and sisters. They want to be like them. If older kids will keep this in mind, then

Older siblings

Dr. Garrison notes: “While you might fight at home, older brothers and sisters can be very protective when they’re photo by Michael LaMartin away from home. If you are going to fight — and brothers and sisters do — remember, no hitting or punching. Learning to argue, discuss and settle things is an important part of growing up.”

Stepbrothers and -sisters
Have you had to adjust to new stepsiblings? “Parents sometimes get remarried, and suddenly you have new brothers and sisters,” Dr. Garrison explains. “Getting along can at first be difficult. “It takes time to begin to feel like a real family. The most important thing is to learn to respect one another.”

Many plants can be poisonous to pets and livestock
Not all plants are wholesome for foraging animals. Certain species of milkweed, for example, that are highly valued as host plants for the dwindling monarch butterfly population, are extremely poisonous to pets and to range animals like sheep, cattle and goats. Even freeranging chickens aren’t immune. Among potentially toxic poultry pickings are castor beans and certain mushrooms, although chickens don’t eat them as readily as do animals. Plant toxicity is directly related to dosage. How many were eaten, how healthy was the animal, how long do the toxins persist and what can be done? Some plants, like water hemlock, “can kill a cow in 15 minutes, while others, like buttercups, just leave a burning sensation in their mouths or tongues,” said Donna Foulk, an Extension educator with Penn State University. Ornamental plants either in or outside the home are frequently toxic, she said. Animal poisoning can be tough to diagnose, but symptoms range from difficulty breathing to refusing food, blistering and skin lesions to dizziness and diarrhea. Call a vet immediately if such conditions arise. Many weed varieties aren’t toxic unless environmental conditions make them so. “If plants pick up a lot of nitrogens from rain and rapid growth, and animals eat a lot of them, they can die,” said Mark Renz, a University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension weed scientist. The problem becomes even more acute during dry weather when pasture grasses go dormant and troublesome but persistent weeds become more enticing as fodder. Most of those weeds are unpalatable to animal taste buds but often are eaten when dried and mixed with other materials, like in a hay bale. “I know of a case where a llama died from eating baled hay that had milkweed in it,” Renz said. Pet owners may know that daffodil, tulip and hyacinth bulbs can be potentially poisonous to weed-grazing dogs, while Asiatic lilies can cause kidney failure in plant-eating cats. But people new to small scale or urban farming may not be aware that the roots and seeds of cabbage and broccoli can trigger digestive problems in pigs; foxglove or digitalis can produce irregular heart rates and rhythms in horses; rhubarb and tomato leaves can cause neurological damage to rabbits; iris rootstocks can result in breathing problems and scours in cattle; and as few as three medium to large oleander leaves can be lethal to llamas. What can be done to limit plant poison risks? “Try to know what’s out there — what’s toxic, and their symptoms,” Renz said. Additional suggestions from a Penn State University fact sheet: — Keep animals healthy by maintaining good nutrition. — Eliminate or fence around any poisonous plants or trees in and adjacent to pastures. — Mow pastures to reduce weeds. — Do not throw garden or lawn clippings into pastures and do not plant trees, ornamental shrubs or plants near barns or pastures. It can be risky to let dogs and cats wander around lawns or gardens after herbicides and pesticides have been applied. “But in most urban settings, most of the chemicals have been tested and are fairly innocuous,” Renz said.
Design a dream outdoor entertaining space Upon the arrival of warm weather, many individuals prefer to spend their free time outside, relishing the fresh air and sunshine and evenings spent under the stars. But cracked patios and makeshift chairs and tables may not establish the desired ambiance. An outdoor entertaining area that offers the same amenities found inside a home can make outdoor retreats both comfortable and functional. Creative planning can help homeowners design dream areas perfect for hosting friends or family.
Establish goals As with any project, the first step when coordinating outdoor living areas is to determine what you hope to achieve with the space. Will it be a location for lounging? Will people be cooking meals outside? Is the pool the central focus of the yard? Answering these questions and more can help homeowners decide how to design their entertaining spaces. Remember, however, that goals may evolve as landscape designers and even architects make their own suggestions for the space or present limitations.
Evaluate the space Look at the lot and decide what will go where, such as where to place the party space, where to create a quiet hideaway and where to locate a poolhouse or outdoor shower. A large, flat yard can be divided into a series of patios that serve different purposes. Yards that are built on a hill or a slope can still be utilized with creative design elements, such as multitiered decking. By working with qualified designers, homeowners can bring their ideas to life.
Easy food and drink access Traipsing in and out of the house for refreshments can become tiresome when entertaining outside. In such situations, people also can track dirt inside of the home or leave a trail of pool water in their wake. Outdoor kitchens allow easy access to food and drink that makes outdoor entertaining much easier. The experts at Angie’s List suggest outdoor kitchens be built close to the house to make it easier to run electricity and plumbing to the outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchens should include a sink, small refrigerator, built-in grill, and bar area.
Creature comforts
Fire it up
Homeowners should think about the things that make the inside of their homes so comfortable and then replicate that outside. Sofas and loveseats covered in fabric suited for outdoors and plenty of pillows can make for great lounging. Lighting that can be adjusted for day or night, or even to set the mood, is another consideration. Shade structures, like a trellis or retractable awning, will keep the area comfortable and can also define outdoor “rooms” and establish privacy.
Many homeowners enjoy having fire elements in their yards. Lanterns and candles may create a romantic feel, but a fire pit or outdoor fireplace may help extend use of the outdoor entertaining area beyond summer. Entertaining outdoors is made that much more enticing with a dream outdoor living space full of amenities.
How to reduce plastic, foil and other kitchen disposables By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press
Disposables have become a mainstay of many American kitchens — plastic baggies, plastic wrap, paper towels, aluminum foil, plastic straws and more. Reducing or even eliminating them can save you money in addition to cutting down on trash that ends up in landfills. “It’s easy to be overwhelmed by it all, but little differences really do add up,” says Lauryn Tyrell, food editor at Martha Stewart Living magazine. “I spend about 75 percent of my time in the test kitchen and so I’m an excellent candidate for creating a ton of kitchen waste. But we’ve learned some tricks to reduce the amount of trash we produce,” she says. (Remember that in addition to reducing and reusing, recycling is an easy option for many items, including glass, plastic containers, bottles, cans, clean aluminum foil and batteries.) A few kitchen tips from the pros:
PAPER TOWELS “Keeping paper towel use to a minimum is one of the things Martha Stewart is really serious about,” Tyrell says. Each workspace in the magazine’s test kitchen features cloth tea towels, bar towels (similar to rags) and a roll of selecta-size paper towels, she says. The latter is used sparingly. Tea towels are great for drying hands or dishes, or folding up to use as a hot mitt. Bar towels can be used for most messes. Paper towels are reserved for messes like juice from meat or raw egg.
“It helps to have all your towel options in one place, so I’d recommend keeping rags or bar towels near where you keep the paper towels,” Tyrell says. If cloth towels aren’t handy, you probably won’t use them, she advises. And if you can’t wean yourself off paper towels, there are now several types of reusable ones made of bamboo and other sustainable materials that can be used numerous times before tossing them out, says Brandi Broxson, articles editor at Real Simple magazine. Cleaner paper towels can be recycled.
PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS
it instead in paper, which is biodegradable. Or bring a reusable container to put it in.
PLASTIC BAGGIES There are a variety of new products that can be used as an alternative to baggies. Broxson, at Real Simple, recommends one called Stashers . They’re like zip-top plastic bags but are made of Silicon, and can be washed in the dishwasher and reused. They are watertight, and can go from freezer to microwave.
PLASTIC WRAP
Both Broxson and Tyrell recommend Bee’s Wrap as an alternative to typical plastic cling wrap. It’s made of fabric coated in a mixture of wax, oil and tree resin, and sticks to the top of bowls and jars. Like plastic wrap, it conforms to all sorts of shapes. Unlike plastic wrap, it can be washed and reused, and remains sticky for months, Bronson says. “It’s not great for wrapping something drippy like a tuna sandwich, where maybe parchment paper or aluminum foil might be preferable. But PLASTIC PRODUCE BAGS as a container covering, or to wrap drier types of Avoid plastic produce bags by keeping a few foods or sandwiches, it’s great,” she says. lightweight mesh bags — often sold as “multi- ALUMINUM FOIL use straining bags” — in your purse when you “Luckily, unbleached parchment paper works head to the grocery store, Tyrell says. “They’re also great for making nut milks or great for baking and roasting, and also for wrapping sandwiches and snacks,” and is biodegradstraining yogurt,” she adds. If your grocery store doesn’t use compostable able, Broxson says. “If you must use aluminum foil, you can wad produce bags, you can always bring some of it up into a ball and reuse it as a scouring sponge your own. To avoid plastic wrapping on meat or fish, try for baking dishes to get one more use out of it asking the butcher at the grocery store to wrap before throwing it away,” she suggests. Clean Carry your own canvas or string tote bags for groceries and other purchases. The key, as with bar towels, is to keep them handy. “There are so many types of reusable bags out there that there’s really no excuse for bringing home single-use plastic shopping bags anymore,” Tyrell says. Americans throw away around 100 billion plastic bags a year, she says.

aluminum foil can be recycled if it’s free from food residue. And many stores now sell recycled aluminum foil.
PLASTIC STRAWS AND UTENSILS The test kitchens at Martha Stewart Living have switched from plastic to stainless steel straws, says Tyrell. “I carry my own titanium fork and spoon, with a nylon connector so they can even be used as tongs. They’re super-lightweight, and kind of cool,” she says. “Way nicer than plastic.”

Fall decor forecast: stylish, functional, comfortable By KIM COOK Associated Press
Unfettered from dated conventions that urged us to pick a decor style and stick to it, more and more designers and retailers this fall are blending decorative elements and playing more loosely with the color wheel. In some cases, the result is a polished, edited space that still has compelling aspects — unexpected material, furniture or color choices. In others, the finished room is a study in eclectic exuberance, with singular and often witty hues and style components. And there’s one piece in this design puzzle that fits no matter what the style. “This fall, we’re seeing a shift toward comfort and functionality,” says designer Charlotte Dunagan of Coral Gables, Florida. “Clients are looking for beautiful spaces that are also livable and inviting — not only aesthetically captivating, but also extremely comfortable.” Stephanie Sarkies, design director of Pembrooke & Ives in New York City, concurs. The cozy “hygge” factor now popular in homes is also reaching hotels and restaurants. “In the hospitality sector, there’s a big shift toward mental and physical wellness — the idea of interior spaces enabling mindfulness and togetherness,” she says. John Cialone of Chicago’s Tom Stringer Design Partners says clients are savvy to big-picture concerns like energy efficiency and sustainability, but also want designs to address simple things like getting a better night’s sleep or improving air circulation through good furniture placement.
A NICE FEEL “Lush fabrics like velvet and mohair, luxurious armchairs covered in shearling and boucle, and faux fur or cashmere area rugs are some of the trends popping up in design showrooms worldwide,” says Dunagan. “The aim is to create a curated space with purpose. Interiors are shifting away from stark white, museum-like spaces and incorporating a cozy, sexy feeling. Think herringbone and patchwork, earthy shades and organic shapes.”
STYLE AND PATTERN Art Deco has gained ground over the past couple of seasons, and we’re seeing pieces across more affordable price ranges. There’s channel upholstery, Chanel-style quilting, curvy profiles, polished metals, and color combinations like glossy black with white, rich red or soft makeup-y hues. New pieces for PB Teen include a channel tufted daybed and a glam ceiling fixture swathed in fine chain. At CB2, find champagne-hued velvet barstools, a shapely velvet sofa and fauxshagreen casegoods. West Elm’s got Rosanna Ceravolo’s linear, carved media console, in a crisp citron hue. There’s a popular transitional look that never gets too far away; call it Manor House, or, as Pottery Barn is terming it this fall, “Chateau.” The retailer’s launching a collection influenced by European architecture and materials. Wroughtiron and wood furniture in tones of charcoal or dove are paired with easy, weathered-look textiles like jacquard pillows and linen upholstery. Newton Paisley has a wallpaper collection based on the Carolinas, with indigenous birds, butterflies and flora depicted in colorful patterns. Global maximalism is still riding high, with embroidery, silks, chunky weaves, carved woods and hammered metals from South and Central America, India, Asia and Africa. And while the midcentury modern wave continues its strong churn, some designers are seeing slight shifts in the current. “There seems to be a trend away from slavish midcentury modern toward a softer, plusher, more hand-wrought modernist aesthetic,” observes Raun Thorp of Tichenor & Thorp Architects in Los Angeles. It’s a blending of the romantic and the machined that she terms “crafted modern.” For decor with an industrial yet refined look, see the finely knurled hardware collections from Buster & Punch or Jonathan Browning’s for Restoration Hardware , and Ian K. Fowler’s Utilitaire lighting, also for RH. The newest minimalist looks with a Japanese or Scandinavian vibe feature lots of texture and pattern. Crate & Barrel’s Nagano and Kiyomi bedding collections incorporate overstitching or waffle weaving. Ikat textiles inspired a line

of organic quilted cotton blankets and pillows at West Elm. And there are new handcrafted ceramics at these stores, too. Abstracts and geometrics, often with a nod to the ’70s, ’80s or ’90s, bring modernity and energy into a space. There’s contemporary art galore now to grace walls, very affordably. But practice restraint: Trend-watchers say the ubiquitous gallery wall may have reached its peak, and simpler displays — open shelving, for example — are poised to trend up. Wallpaper and tile are a quick, impactful way to bring these patterns home. Consider Colli’s kicky, masculine Mike tile collection. New Ravenna has Cean Imminger’s playful new Subway pattern, with stylized subway cars rendered in ceramic.
COLOR Yellows both mellow (like mustard) and bright (like citron) are cropping up all over the fall collections. Recent design shows in New York also featured a lot of green. “I find myself building rooms with hunter green as my foundation layer, and working chartreuse, moss, olive and even kelly green into the mix,” says California designer Alison Pickart.
This undated photo provided by Pottery Barn and PBteen shows Emily & Meritt’s chainswathed chandelier. (PBteen/Potter Barn via AP)
“Green can be a foundational neutral. Pair it with anything, you’ll see it works.” PPG Paints picked Nightwatch, a deep luxurious green, as their 2019 Color of the Year. At CB2, there’s the new Hoxton leather sofa in olive green and, in collaboration with Brooklyn menswear design shop Hill-Side, a rug with a deconstructed floral pattern in a forest-y palette. Nicole Alexander of Chicago-based Siren Betty Design is working with dark blues. “These deep, soothing tones invoke a calm feeling, while still maintaining a presence,” she says. Look for more of those mineral blues, blue-blacks and navy. Alexander is also into another trending, ’70sera hue: “organic and warm” terracotta. For complementary palettes, check out DunnEdwards’ Sojourn collection of dense, spicy hues, and Sherwin-Williams’ Distance, Moth Wing and Dark Clove. For those seeking bold color, Pantone is predicting that plummy purples, burgundy reds and sweet oranges will be ones to watch. Fall décor is full of flavors for everyone.
Ask a Designer: Closet organization that lasts By MELISSA RAYWORTH Associated Press
Most people don’t start out with a messy closet. Even when a closet is carefully organized at the beginning, however, it might not take long for order to turn to chaos. “It’s common for clients to struggle with keeping the momentum going,” says interior designer Caitlin Murray. But there are planning and design strategies to help closets stay as organized as they were on day one. We’ve asked Murray, founder of the Los Angeles-based Black Lacquer Design, and two other experts — Delaware-based home designer and builder Marnie Oursler, and Elena Eskandari, an interior design specialist with Case Design/Remodeling in the Washington, D.C., area — for advice on planning and living with efficient and attractive closet space.
KNOW YOUR STUFF AND YOURSELF The same closet design doesn’t work for everyone, so analyze the types of items you need to store. If you’ll be hanging a lot of clothes, are they long or short? You may want two levels of hanging space positioned one above the other to maximize storage, says Oursler. Have a lot of shoes? Consider a row of built-in shoe cubbies along the floor. Then choose a system you’ll actually stick with. If you plan to put everything on hangers but that’s an extra step that you’ll probably avoid, then you’ll end up with piles of clothes in your bedroom. While organizing, pare down: Even a wellplanned closet may not stay organized if it’s very full. What do you really like and really wear? If you haven’t worn something in a while, Eskandari says, chances are you don’t need to keep it. Murray agrees: “You really limit what things you’ll actually utilize when you’re dealing with

7. LOST OR DAMAGED ITEMS
Some belongings might not survive the journey. Depending on what you’re transporting and how far, it may be worth purchasing protection to repair or replace property. “Nobody wants to think about their items getting broken. Ideally that would never happen, but in the real world that’s something you need to plan for,� says Nichols. Most movers provide basic valuation coverage, which limits their liability to 60 cents per pound, per item. For a 40-pound TV valued at $500, that’s $24. Top-tier options and separate insurance plans offer higher or full values, but it will cost extra. If you have homeowners or renters insurance, you likely have some coverage. Check your policy.
9. STORAGE If you can’t immediately move your possessions into your new home, you might have to rent a self-storage unit. Costs vary by size and location. Public Storage units in Austin, Texas, for example, range from about $30 to $300 per month. The less time and space you need, the less expensive the unit.
MAKE YOUR BUDGET MOVE-IN READY Mentally walk through your moving process from start to finish. Outline the potential items and services you’ll need at least a month ahead. Then, research prices and get multiple estimates for the best deals and service, Nichols says. Leave wiggle room for unexpected costs and take your time purchasing new home furnishings, says Daria Victorov,
a certified financial planner at Abacus Wealth Partners in San Mateo, California. Remember, you don’t have to buy everything at once. “When you move into an empty house it feels like you need everything right away,� Victorov says. “Before you move, figure out what those essential items are, the things that you use every day, and that’ll help you figure out your budget, too.� ——— This article was provided to The Associated Press by the personal finance website NerdWallet.

Understanding factors that can contribute to fatigue
Women often lament they’re overtired. There are ways to regain energy.
Women serve many roles each day. From mothers to employees to spouses, women must perform a balancing act that can lead to fatigue as a side effect. According to recent research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, women are more likely than men to say they’re tired or even exhausted.
All of that running around certainly can contribute to fatigue, but other factors also can lead to tiredness. Getting to the root of fatigue can help women regain their energy levels.

In order to gain more energy, NSF recommends women get regular exercise, limit their caffeine and alcohol intake, improve their sleeping environments (i.e. a dark, cool room), and establish routine sleep and wake times to promote better chances of sleeping between seven and nine per night. The NSF also notes that women are more likely than men to experience insomnia. Women whose energy levels are dwindling due to sleeplessness should seek assistance from their physicians.

energy, leading to feelings of tiredness all the time. Finding successful methods of relieving stress can help women regain energy. Delegating work or asking for help is one way for women to lighten their workloads. Mindfulness and meditation may help calm overactive thoughts. Exercise also is a healthy way to relieve stress and can promote the release of feel-good endorphins.

Exercise can help with sleep issues, anxiety and depression, which also zap energy levels. To boost energy, exercise in the lowto medium-exertion range.
