In the news Alaska collects $11M in pot tax revenue, beating projections ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska collected more than $11 million in marijuana tax revenue during the state’s 2018 fiscal year, exceeding projections by nearly $2 million. The Alaska Department of Revenue released numbers Wednesday for the fiscal year that ended in June, indicating a continued rise in revenue collection, KTUU-TV reported . The state collected about $1.7 million during the previous fiscal year. “We absolutely are exceeding our predictions and additionally we are seeing a very steady increase in tax revenue collection each month,” said Kelly Mazzei, the department’s excise tax supervisor. The state collected the most revenue from marijuana taxes in June at more than $1.2 million. The department expects July to break that record, setting a possible trend for the 2019 fiscal year. “I don’t believe the market has saturated, and we haven’t seen exactly what capacity the state is going to operate in, as far as cultivation and retail stores and the other facilities,” Mazzei said. “So we could continue to collect an unknown amount of money in taxes.” Half of the revenue from marijuana taxes is directed into the Recidivism Reduction Fund, which supports programs aimed at reducing relapses into criminal behavior, including the state Department of Corrections’ substance abuse treatment programs and community residential centers. Under current regulations, marijuana buds and flowers are taxed at $50 per ounce. The rest of the plant is taxed at $15 per ounce. The revenue department has proposed creating a third category, taxing immature or abnormal buds at $25 per ounce. “We understand now with feedback that there is some lower quality bud, maybe some that’s failed a test result for mold,” Mazzei said. “So it could go to a product manufacturer, but it won’t go to a retail store. So therefore we don’t believe cultivators should be paying $50 an ounce if they’re not getting that price at market.
State mistake triggers Medicaid repayments By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Speech pathologist Carma Shay will have to find a way to reimburse the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services an estimated $8,000 in Medicaid payments the state said it paid in error. The state is seeking about $15 million in Medicaid funds that were paid in error to over 1,000 healthcare providers in the state. “This is just horrible,” Shay said. “How are we supposed to continue to serve our clients when all of the sudden we’re being told, ‘You know what? We need to go back and make you pay back 10 percent?’”

Shay is the owner and sole provider of Take Home Speech, a Kenai speech pathology clinic focusing on speech and swallowing health in children. Shay said 90 percent of her clients use Medicaid and that she’s the only Medicaid speech therapy provider on the central peninsula that offers in-home care for her patients. “It’s important for a child to feel comfortable, especially when I’m demanding they do something really hard, like talk when they can’t, so I like working where they are comfortable,” Shay said. “The clients really need these services, but they are unable to pay (without Medicaid).” Medicaid is a public insur-
ance available to children and adults who meet the income or health condition requirements. The funds for the program are appropriated by the Legislature each year. About 28 percent of Alaska’s population were on Medicaid as of May 2018, according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The state is still calculating the exact figures each provider owes, but Shay said she’s expecting to pay back around $8,000. The recoupments are based on services billed to Medicaid between October 2017 and the end of June when the Department of Health and Social Services realized it was Central Peninsula Hospital’s River Tower specialty services building stands on Sunday in Soldotna.

Saturday event in Soldotna to bring together, celebrate breastfeeding mothers By ERIN THOMPSON Peninsula Clarion

$1 newsstands daily/$1.50 Sunday
For a minute Saturday morning, local mothers will stand up to stigma while sharing some quality time with their children — and one another. At the 2018 Big Latch On event at Soldotna Creek Park, mothers will breastfeed together and be counted as part of a global effort to promote breastfeeding, raise awareness about resources for families and encourage community support for mothers. Started in 2005 by the Women’s Health Action — a New Zealand organization that promotes women’s health — the event has spread to two dozen countries and brought thousands of women and babies together. In 2017, the group reported events in 725 locations in 23 countries — with nearly 18,000 breastfeeding children and about 54,000 total participants, according to the group’s website.
‘My first encounter was with my first child and it was at the bookstore coffee shop, and I remember being so ashamed. I don’t want people to feel that way.’ — Bridget Wimberly, Kenai mother Local event organizer and board member of newly established nonprofit Kenai Peninsula Birth, Samantha Van Vleet has seen the event grow since 2011 — when about 20 people turned up for an informal gathering. Last year, about 100 people participated. Van Vleet is hoping for a higher turnout this year. “I think it’s going to be a lot bigger. We’ve already gotten about 80 RSVPs,” she said. Van Vleet has had both good and bad experiences breastfeeding in public. “I’ve had an old lady pitch my arm and tell me, ‘Good for
you, honey,’” she said. Other times she’s received “creepy” looks or been barred altogether. A mother of four who had her first child in high school, Van Vleet was initially prohibited from breastfeeding in class. With a lawyer’s help, however, she was able to quickly resolve the issue, she said. Under Alaska law, municipalities can’t prohibit or restrict a woman from breastfeeding in a public or private location where the woman and child are otherwise allowed to be.

Tobacco tax on borough agenda, sales tax cap ordinance dropped By ELIZABETH EARL Peninsula Clarion
While the borough’s budget has been settled for the coming year, the assembly members are still looking at revenue possibilities. At its upcoming meeting Aug. 7, the assembly is scheduled to introduce an ordinance that would establish a borough-wide excise tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products. Assembly member Willy Dunne, the sponsor, wrote in a memo to the assembly that the state and other municipalities have tobacco taxes, and a 5-cent per cigarette and 10 percent tax on other tobacco products would bring in about $4.8 million for the borough annually. “Additionally, it is anticipated that the increased cost of cigarettes and other tobacco products will deter the use of tobacco, especially by the youth,” he wrote. Dunne’s ordinance follows a similar proposal from Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce, who withdrew his version at a prior meeting. Several members of the public testified against the tobacco excise tax, saying it was unfair to single out that industry. The assembly has been working on solutions to the borough’s budget gap for two years, working it down to about $2.5 million with the combination of budget cuts and a See TAX, page A8

Birds learn another ‘language’ by eavesdropping on neighbors By CHRISTINA LARSON AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON — For birds, understanding neighborhood gossip about an approaching hawk or brown snake can mean the difference between life or death. Wild critters are known to listen to each other for clues about lurking predators, effectively eavesdropping on other species’ chatter. Birds, for example, can learn to flee when neighbors cluck “hawk!” — or, more precisely, emit a distress call. The fairy wren, a small Australian songbird, is not born knowing the “languages” of other birds. But it can master the meaning of a few key “words,” as scientists explain in a paper published Thursday in the journal Current Biology. “We knew before that some animals can translate the meanings of other species’ ‘foreign languages,’ but we did not know how that ‘language learning’ came about,” said Andrew Radford, a biologist at the University of Bristol and co-author of the study. Birds have several ways of acquiring life skills. Some knowledge is innate, and some

is acquired from direct experience. Radford and other scientists are exploring a third kind of knowledge: acquiring information from peers.

birds to recognize the thornbill’s alarm cry as a warning sound, and the other half to recognize the computer-generated “buzz” as a distress call. They did that by playing the previously unfamiliar sounds in conjunction with noises that the birds already associated with danger, such as fairy wrens’ own distress cry. After three days, the scientists tested what the birds had learned — and their feathered pupils passed the test. The two sets of fairy wrens responded to the sound they had been trained on by fleeing for cover, but remained indifferent to the other sound. Twelve of the 16 birds fled at every playback; the other four birds fled in response to twothirds or more of the playbacks. To put it in human terms, it’s as though a person who only speaks English had learned that “Achtung” means “attention” or “danger” in German simply by listening to people yell phrases with similar meanings
in multiple languages at once. “Until this study, we had limited knowledge about how an animal learns what calls from other species actually mean,” said Christopher Templeton, a biologist at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, who was not involved in the study. Previous research had shown that fairy wrens can learn the meaning of distress calls when actually encountering a predator. “What this new study does is remove the predator entirely. It shows that these birds can learn to associate new sounds with danger, without having to learn through trial and error,” said Templeton. In other words, one bird’s distress tweet can go viral. “If you can only learn in the presence of a predator, that’s quite dangerous,” said Radford, the study co-author. “The capacity to learn by associating sounds with meaning makes sense, biologically.”

What Others Say
Picking winners isn’t sound economic policy
President Donald Trump, remarking
via tweet on the trade war his administration started with America’s biggest import and export partners, recently professed his love for tariffs. “Tariffs are the greatest!” he wrote, later making statements that his plans to force other countries to the negotiating table were going as planned. But even if the U.S. is indeed prevailing in some aspects of the trade war, Alaskans in affected industries may soon be tired of winning. Until recently, tariffs weren’t an economic weapon the U.S. used in a meaningful way, but in the early 1900s, they were commonplace. In fact, before the institution of a federal income tax in 1913, tariffs were how the U.S. government got much of its revenue. In the 1800s and early 1900s, tariffs were the accepted cost of doing business, applied to almost all imports by nations across the globe. In those days, tariffs were generally broad, a sort of international sales tax between nations. But since governments have transitioned to taxes as their primary revenue source and moved gradually toward free trade policies, tariffs have been employed less often. When they have been used, it has often been in a punitive, protectionist manner, with high rates intended to hurt foreign countries’ abilities to compete in the marketplace at all. Perhaps the starkest example of a harmful tariff in the past 100 years was the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which jacked up tariffs on 20,000 types of imported goods in an effort to protect American industry. Backfiring stupendously, the tariffs ultimately isolated the U.S. and drove it deeper into the Great Depression. Not all tariffs are explicitly bad or ineffective. China is famous for its judicious use of tariffs to protect industries it considers strategic. But tariffs that don’t prompt massive backlash from trading partners are generally relatively low and specific. By contrast, the tariffs now in place are broad, expensive and could prove economically devastating if they remain in place for an extended period. And Alaska’s industries could feel the pinch. As a matter of fact, Alaska seafood could be hit with a serious one-two punch, as it is often shipped to China for processing before returning to the U.S. for final sale. Other state industries and initiatives could also see substantial harm: Alaska Gasline Development Corp. officials estimate the steel for the AKLNG natural gas pipeline project will cost $250 million to $500 million more if current tariffs are in place — as much or more than the state’s annual allocation to fund the University of Alaska. And newspapers are staring down the barrel of a tariff on soft wood paper imports from Canada that could drive up newsprint costs by 30 percent, a serious blow to an industry with little extra money to spend on the costs of a trade war. It’s possible the tariffs could be an effective tactic in bringing trading partners to the table to negotiate, and the U.S. is fortunate to be in a place of economic strength. European authorities in particular were recently moved by the threat of tariffs to negotiate on some specific items. But there’s also the serious danger that nations fed up with U.S. intransigence will sidestep America to draw up free trade deals with one another — perhaps even looking to China for global economic leadership. If that happens, it would mean serious damage for the U.S. economy for years, even decades to come. And the short-term forecast isn’t positive for Alaska interests: Although President Trump acknowledged the harm his tariffs were doing to U.S. farmers and offered a bailout in the form of $12 billion in proposed aid, there have been no similar overtures to help the myriad other industries facing economic hardship. In opposing the bailout, Sen. Lisa Murkowski called it a “Band-Aid.” She’s right; picking winners and losers in the trade war is no sensible economic policy. If the U.S. plays hardball on trade, it shouldn’t bail out specific industries while letting others wither. Consumers will soon feel the impact of retaliatory foreign tariffs that went into effect July 1, and the window in which the U.S. can avoid serious economic harm is closing fast. Playing an economic game of chicken with the rest of the world has the potential to end spectacularly poorly for the U.S., as anyone familiar with the results of failed games of chicken can attest. Alaska in particular can ill afford that type of carnage, as our state has a substantial deficit and the highest unemployment in the U.S. Our country’s leadership should recognize that. —Anchorage Daily News, July 29, 2018

Children must be protected by Thanks for support at Soldotna adults Seniors bazaar There are certain things accepted in the Soldotna Area Senior Citizens, Inc. would like to thank everybody involved in our Summer Bazaar and Quilt Show this past weekend. A huge shoutout to Barely Threaded Quilting for setting up the quilt show. The People’s Choice Award was a close vote, with the winning entry pieced by JoAnne Biegel and quilted by Lily Huesch. Second place was “Big Blooms,” pieced and quilted by Theresa Baker. The bazaar was successful in gathering funds to provide area seniors with nutrition, transportation, and assistance for many clients in our community, as well as promoting area small businesses. Also, a special thanks to the numerous volunteers who helped hang and arrange the quilts, hosted the quilt show, the many volunteers who helped to set up the bazaar, those who made and donated items for our bake sale, and those volunteers who worked long hours in our kitchen, serving up milkshakes, nachos, burgers, and hot dogs. We could not accomplish our mission without the large volume of volunteer hours donated each and every day. The Soldotna Senior Center serves area seniors from Soldotna, Ridgeway, and Funny River. The opportunity to provide food, transportation, information and assistance to our clients is only possible through your participation in our fundraising. You are a vital part of our efforts. John Walker Executive Director Soldotna Area Senior Citizens, Inc.
current culture that merit adult outcry for children. In other words, people need to make strong protests against things that victimize minors. For example, have you heard about so called “sex education” classes in California where parents and or students are not allowed to opt out? I’m sure you have heard that transgenders have been granted liberty to make restroom choices in certain high schools and businesses, but did you hear about the man in a Target store who showed his private parts to a small girl in the ladies’ restroom? Did you know sex trafficking is the fastest growing crime? What else is being promoted and normalized today that jeopardizes the lives of our children? Pedophilia is being normalized and phone sex games are becoming popular. When you add child abuse, abortions, meth homes, divorced and incarcerated parents, etc. you may clearly see that children are not only victims, but also the prey of this culture. What are you doing about this? When you hear about these things, do you say to yourself, “Oh, that is too bad” then go on about your business? Yes, you may be inundated with bad news and you may easily become numb to it all. At the same time, who is going to do something to stop these childhood atrocities? Will you be one who will make an outcry for the violated children in this country? For opportunities to make an outcry and or make a difference in the lives of sex trafficked children call 925-709-4453.

Nation Trump thanks North Korea for war remains By AUDREY McAVOY and KIM YONG-HO Associated Press
HONOLULU — The U.S. military is beginning the painstaking process of analyzing remains from the Korean War now that they are back on American soil after having been handed over by North Korea last week. Vice President Mike Pence and the top commander of U.S. forces in Asia, Adm. Phil Davidson, received the remains contained in 55 caskets during an emotional and solemn ceremony Wednesday after the caskets arrived by military cargo jets from South Korea. “They were husbands and fathers, brothers and neighbors — long gone, but never lost to the memory of their loved ones,” Pence said during the ceremony at a military base in Hawaii. The homecoming comes 65 years after an armistice ended the conflict and after President Donald Trump received a commitment from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, at their June summit in Singapore, for their return. Trump, in a tweet Wednesday night, thanked Kim “for keeping your word & starting the process of sending home the remains of our great and beloved missing fallen! I am not at all surprised that you took this kind action.” Each container was covered in an American flag and carried off the aircraft by one Marine, one sailor, one soldier and one airman. The troops carefully set each box on risers inside a
hangar as Pence stood watching with his hand over his heart. Davidson saluted. Some of the invited guests wiped tears from their eyes during the procession. The homecoming comes 65 years after an armistice ended the conflict and weeks after President Donald Trump received a commitment from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for their return. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency will take the remains to a lab on the base where forensic anthropologists will study bones and teeth to identify their race, gender and age. Scientists will extract DNA and compare it to DNA samples collected from families of troops still missing from the war. The agency usually also relies on any items that may have been found with remains like uniforms, dog tags and wedding rings to identify remains. But North Korea only provided one dog tag with the 55 boxes it handed over last week. It could take months or years to determine their identities. “Some have called the Korean War the ‘forgotten war.’ But today, we prove these heroes were never forgotten,” Pence said. “Today, our boys are coming home.” The U.S. military believes the bones are those of U.S. servicemen and potentially servicemen from other United Nations member countries who fought alongside the U.S. on behalf of South Korea during the war. Australia, Belgium, France and the Philippines have yet to recover some of their war dead from North Korea.
NEW YORK — The founder of Papa John’s says the pizza chain does well with him as its public face, and that it was a mistake for the company to scrub him from its marketing materials after he acknowledged using a racial slur. John Schnatter told The Associated Press that he believes he can return to TV and radio ads once the public understands the context of his comments. “My persona resonates with the consumer because it’s authentic, it’s genuine and it’s the truth,” Schnatter said in a phone interview late Wednesday, with his lawyer and representative present. Papa John’s International Inc. had said last month that Schnatter would no longer be in any of its marketing, after Forbes reported that he used the N-word during a media training conference call in May. The company also formed a special committee to oversee an external audit of its diversity practices. Schnatter apologized for using the word, but said it was taken out of context and that he didn’t use it as an epithet. He
resigned as chairman after the report was published, but subsequently called the decision a “mistake.” Since then, Schnatter has criticized Papa John’s handling of the matter, saying it acted hastily without investigating. He also criticized the company’s failure to clarify his comments last year blaming disappointing pizza sales on how NFL leaders were handling player protests during the national anthem. Those comments were seen as insensitive to players, and led to Schnatter stepping down as CEO last year. Schnatter, who remains a board member and owns nearly 30 percent of Papa John’s stock, said the remarks were aimed at the league’s leadership, not its players. Papa John’s, meanwhile, pointed to the Celebrity DBI — an index that touts ratings of how well celebrities can influence consumers — which it said showed Schnatter’s trust and endorsement ratings fell after his NFL remarks. Keith Hollingsworth, a professor of business at Morehouse College, said it would be best for the company if Schnatter kept a low profile for the near term.

“Whosoever emerges from these aircraft today begins a new season of hope for the families of our missing fallen,” Pence said. “Hope that those who are lost will yet be found. Hope that after so many years of questions, they will have closure.” There are 7,699 U.S. service members listed as unaccounted for from the 1950-53 Korean War, of which about 5,300 are believed to have died on North Korean soil. The remainder are those who died in South Korea but have not been recovered; those who died in air crashes at sea or on ships at sea, as well as a number who are believed to have been taken to China. During his summit with Trump, Kim also agreed to “work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula” in return for Trump’s promise of security guarantees. Trump later suspended annual military drills with South Korea
which North Korea had long called an invasion rehearsal. But Trump now faces criticism at home and elsewhere that North Korea hasn’t taken any serious steps toward disarmament and may be trying to buy time to weaken international sanctions against it. North Korea halted nuclear and missile tests, shut down its nuclear testing site and began dismantling facilities at its rocket launch site. But many experts say those are neither irrevocable nor serious steps that could show the country is sincere about denuclearization. North Korea may want to use the remains’ return to keep diplomacy with the United States alive and win a reciprocal U.S. concession. Experts say the North likely wants a declaration of the end of the Korean War as part of U.S. security assurances.
SUPERIOR, Wis. (AP) — A raging refinery fire that forced the temporary evacuation of homes in the coastal Wisconsin city of Superior in April was caused by an explosion that sent debris hurtling into an asphalt storage tank, a federal agency said Thursday. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board released an update on the explosion and fire at the Husky Energy refinery in Superior in late April. According to the report, the explosion sent a piece of debris about 200 feet (61 meters) into an aboveground storage tank that contained about 50,000 barrels of asphalt. The tank was punctured and spilled more than 15,000 barrels of hot asphalt, which ignited about two hours later. While the cause of the blast remains under investigation, the federal analysis said a worn valve in an area where oil is
made into gasoline could have caused the explosion, the Star Tribune reported. The blast happened in the refinery’s fluid catalytic cracking unit, which was being shut down for routine maintenance on the day of the explosion. The unit converts hydrocarbons in petroleum into gasoline. During the maintenance shutdown, conditions existed that could have allowed air to flow backward through a worn valve and into an area containing flammable hydrocarbons, the report found. Mixing air with hydrocarbons can cause an explosion. The explosion happened while workers were on a scheduled break, and many were in blast-resistant buildings or away from the blast area, according to the report. The report said 36 people sought medical attention after the explosion, including 11 refinery and contract workers. A large part of Superior was evacuated.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The man accused of swiping a shark from a Texas aquarium says he did so because he was concerned about the sea creature’s wellbeing. Anthony Shannon is charged with felony theft for stealing the horn shark Saturday from the San Antonio Aquarium. The heist, which was captured on surveillance video , shows a man grabbing the 16-inch-long (40-centimeter-long) shark from a petting tank and later wheeling it away in a baby stroller. The shark, named Miss Helen, was recovered Monday night from Shannon’s home. “I’m an activist, not a criminal,” Shannon told San Antonio TV station KENS in an interview from his home, which has three saltwater tanks filled with dozens of fish and five sharks. Shannon said he’s a lifelong marine enthusiast and that he became concerned about conditions at the aquarium after a friend told him that marine animals were dying frequently. About a month ago, Shannon posed as a salt distributor so he could investigate conditions and take water samples from the tanks, he said. The aquarium said in a statement that employees had no reason to doubt that Shannon was a salt distributor until after the theft, when a worker recognized him. “We do daily tests of our water throughout the aquarium and show that everything is within normal parameters on the day Helen went missing,” the aquarium said in a statement.
Dead fish, red tide, plague Florida tourists, beaches VENICE BEACH, Fla — Tourists weren’t scattered on beaches in southwest Florida, but hundreds of dead fish were. The Herald-Tribune reports that visitors piled into the parking lot of Venice Beach Thursday morning, got out of their cars, started hacking, coughing and sneezing and then quickly left. A bloom of red tide algae has swept in from Naples to Tampa, killing marine life and tourism in its path. Respiratory irritation and murky clumps of red drift algae have been reported from Collier to Sarasota counties. Also this week, a manatee in distress from exposure to red tide in southwest Florida was taken to SeaWorld Orlando for rehabilitation. Officials documented 287 sea turtle deaths in Gulf of Mexico waters coast since the toxic bloom started in October.
Wisconsin man contracts rare blood infection from dog WEST BEND, Wis. — Surgeons have amputated the legs and hands of a Wisconsin man who contracted a rare blood infection from a dog lick. Greg Manteufel remains hospitalized at a Milwaukee area hospital. Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin infectious disease specialist Dr. Silvia Munoz-Price says the bacteria that invaded Manteufel’s body comes from the saliva of a dog. She says the infection caused Manteufel’s blood pressure to drop and circulation in his limbs to decrease rapidly. His wife, Dawn Manteufel, says her 48-year-old husband was perfectly healthy until he began having flu-like symptoms that landed him in the hospital. The bacteria attacked quickly and aggressively. Munoz-Price says the infection is rare, adding that 99 percent of people with dogs will never contract the bacteria.

“Even if everything he’s saying is true, I’m not sure you can convince people of that,” Hollingsworth said. Hollingsworth said he thinks Schnatter can eventually return in a public role, but that he needs to give it some time. Even before the backlash to Schnatter’s NFL remarks, a key sales figure at Papa John’s had been slowing partly because of competitive pressures, noted Alexander Slagle, an analyst for Jefferies. Slagle said he believes the negative publicity will continue to be “painful”
for the company, but that “the brand will survive.” Since the NFL remarks last year, Schnatter said he didn’t feel comfortable appearing in TV and radio ads. His image remained on a logo all over Papa John’s website and on its pizza boxes, but the company began removing those too last month. Schnatter said Papa John’s had been testing his return to TV and radio ads before the latest controversy, and the tests came back with “virtually no negativity” toward him.

LAS VEGAS — Police in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson say they’re investigating a report that a truck and trailer containing about 400 firearms was stolen from a casino parking lot. Henderson Police Officer Rod Peña said Thursday that police could only release few details about theft because it could jeopardize the safety of officers in the ongoing investigation. Peña said he expected to have more updates later Thursday. He said the trailer was reported stolen at the Fiesta Henderson hotel-casino around noon Tuesday but that he couldn’t explain who owned the trailer, why it was full of guns and whether police have any suspects. Peña says police are working with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Messages seeking comment from the ATF were not immediately returned. – The Associated Press

said in an email to The Associated Press. Husky Energy said in its second-quarter earnings statement last week that the refinery is not expected to restart until 2020. The earnings statement said the fire and explosion caused $27 million Canadian in damage. The company plans to use insurance money to rebuild the refinery.

Egypt attempting Israel-Hamas truce By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH Associated Press
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Egypt is trying to broker a broad cease-fire deal between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers that is to pave the way for Gaza’s reconstruction and an eventual prisoner swap, senior Hamas officials said Thursday. Repeated cease-fire deals over the years collapsed, but there were signs of possible momentum toward a new agreement, after weeks of escalation along the Gaza-Israel frontier. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to put off a trip to South America to keep an eye on the situation in Gaza, a government official said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters. Israeli media reported Netanyahu is to convene his security cabinet on Sunday to discuss developments. Separately, a high-level Hamas delegation planned to enter Gaza later Thursday after holding talks in Cairo, said the Palestine Information Center, a Hamas-linked website.
Most of the Hamas leadership is based in Gaza but would be joined by exiled members of the group’s political bureau, including Saleh Arouri, a founder of the Hamas military wing in the West Bank and a mastermind of violent attacks against Israelis in the past. “Permitting a delegation with this level to come to Gaza is a clear sign that there are first of all guarantees that the delegation will not be targeted by the Israelis, and a sign that there are serious meetings to be held in Gaza,” said Bassem Naim, a Gaza-based Hamas official. He said Hamas officials would try to “conclude the progress that has been made on files such as the truce,” as well as a U.N.-led rebuilding of Gaza and possible reconciliation between Hamas and its domestic political rival, West Bank-based Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Naim said the Hamas leaders would also talk about a possible prisoner swap with Israel. Two other senior Hamas officials confirmed the outlines of the deal proposed by Egypt. They spoke on condition of an-

onymity because they were not authorized to provide details of closed-door negotiations. It’s not clear what role Abbas would play in Gaza, if any. He has said in the past that he would only resume responsibility for Gaza if Hamas agrees to hand over all authority there, including over security. Hamas has been unwilling to do so. Gaza has endured a crippling border blockade by Israel and Egypt, imposed after Hamas seized the territory in 2007. In recent months, Hamas
has become more desperate amid mounting financial pressure, including from Abbas. Gaza’s 2 million people have had to contend with blockadelinked electricity shortages, rising unemployment and growing poverty. Despite renewed cease-fire efforts, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman announced that, starting Thursday, he is halting shipments of fuel and natural gas to Gaza in response to incendiary balloons that have targeted southern Israel.
Zimbabwe’s election crisis deepens By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA and FARAI MUTSAKA Associated Press
HARARE, Zimbabwe — The ruling party and the main opposition group both declared Thursday they won Zimbabwe’s presidential election ahead of an imminent announcement of the official result, deepening a political crisis that was worsened by deadly rioting in the capital. The death toll from street clashes Wednesday rose to six, with 14 injured, police said, and 18 people were arrested at the offices of the main opposition party amid tensions over a vote that was supposed to restore trust in Zimbabwe after decades of rule by Robert Mugabe. There were conflicting accounts of who was responsible for the bloodshed in the capital of Harare, which followed opposition protests of alleged vote-rigging. Police tried to disperse angry crowds with tear gas and water cannons, and then soldiers fired live rounds. While the military has been criticized for the crackdown, police spokeswoman Charity Charamba blamed rioters, say-
ing some were drunk and that they destroyed eight cars and 22 shops. About 4,000 opposition supporters, some carrying iron bars and stones, were “besieging” downtown Harare, she said. President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his ruling ZANUPF party also accused the opposition of inciting the violence. The opposition, human rights activists and international election observers condemned the “excessive” force used against protesters and appealed to all sides to exercise restraint. The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission said it will start announcing results of Monday’s presidential election at 10 p.m. (2000 GMT, 4 p.m. EDT), though by law it has five days to deliver the final tally. It has sometimes given conflicting statements about when it is releasing information. International election observers urged the commission to reveal the presidential results as soon as possible, saying delays will increase speculation about vote-rigging. Meanwhile, police raided the Movement for Democratic Change party headquarters of the main opposition candidate,

Nelson Chamisa. A lawyers’ group said he was being investigated by police for allegedly inciting violence. Chamisa, opposition politician Tendai Biti and several others are suspected of the crimes of “possession of dangerous weapons” and “public violence,” according to a copy of a search warrant, which was seen by The Associated Press. The warrant authorizes police to search for and confiscate any evidence as part of their investigation. The authenticity of the warrant was confirmed by Kumbirai Mafunda, a spokesman for
Colombia death toll at 260,000+ Associated Press
BOGOTA, Colombia — More than 260,000 people died from violence during six decades of guerrilla conflict in Colombia, researchers say in detailed findings released Thursday. Colombia’s National Center for Historical Memory published what is considered the most comprehensive accounting of deaths directly connected to the conflict, including murders, massacres and terrorist attacks. Most of the dead were civilians, and most of the killers were either Marxist guerrillas
or paramilitary groups formed to fight them. Defense Minister Luis Carlos Villegas called the figure “shocking,” and said it underscores the importance of working toward peace with groups such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the largest of the rebel armies, which signed a peace deal in 2016 and has demobilized “Engaging in a peace process with the FARC, ending that conflict with them and having them involved in politics keeps these figures from growing substantially higher,” he said.
Researchers drew on the help of hundreds of institutions and pored over 10,000 documents to make the findings, which refined previous estimates that deaths had exceeded a quarter of a million. The report also finds that most of the 80,000 people who disappeared have never been recovered. More than 37,000 of those killed kidnapping victims, and nearly 15,700 were victims of sexual violence, the report finds. It does not include an earlier decade-long wave of political violence from 1948 to 1958, when 200,000 died, according to some estimates.
Saudi airstrikes kill 28 Yemeni Associated Press
SANAA, Yemen — The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Shiite rebels conducted airstrikes in the rebel-held port city of Hodeida on Thursday killing at least 28 people and wounding at least 70, Yemeni medical officials said, the latest escalation in fighting along the country’s west coast. The airstrikes took place close to the city’s main public hospital, al-Thawra, situated near a popular fish market, the officials said. The wounded, mostly civilians, were hospitalized. The medical officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
The rebel-run Al Masirah TV reported that airstrikes killed 52 people and left more than 100 wounded. The Saudi coalition couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. Ahmed Yehia, who witnessed the attack, said body parts were scattered in the area of the strike: “There is a pond of blood outside the hospital’s building,” he said. The Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen’s internationally recognized government has sought to expand control over rebel-held areas along Yemen’s west coast, particularly in the vital Read Sea port city of Hodeida, the main entry point for food in a country teetering on the brink of famine. The coalition has been at war with the Iran-aligned rebels, known as
Houthis, since March 2015. U.N. Special Envoy Martin Griffiths has held talks with both sides in recent weeks in the hopes of preventing a full-scale coalition assault on Hodeida. He has been pushing to bring the warring parties to restart peace talks. Yemen’s government maintains that the rebels’ “unconditional withdrawal” from Hodeida is key to restarting the talks. Houthis have long refused to hand over the city. The three-year stalemated war has killed over 10,000 people, badly damaged Yemen’s infrastructure and crippled its health system. The country is now in the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with more than 22.2 million people in need of assistance.
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights. Chamisa, however, said the police who raided his headquarters and seized computers were looking for what he called evidence of vote-rigging. The evidence already had been moved to a “safe house,” he said. Opposition demonstrations had broken out after electoral officials said the ruling party had won a parliamentary majority in the elections, and Paul Mangwana, a ZANU-PF spokesman, told a news conference he anticipated similar success in the presidential race.
Around the World Multiple protests in Iran over currency drop, economic woes DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Scattered protests broke out in several Iranian cities on Thursday over the dramatic drop of the country’s currency and other economic problems ahead of the imposition of renewed American sanctions, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported. About 100 people took to the streets in the northern city of Sari, as well as unspecified numbers in the cities of Shiraz, Ahavz and Mashhad, IRNA said. The agency reported all protests had taken place without official permission and were subsequently broken up by police. Authorities said by early evening, all protesters had dispersed. On Tuesday and Wednesday, about 200 people demonstrated in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran, IRNA reported. Police said the demonstrators had attempted to damage public buildings but were unable to, IRNA said without providing further details.
Woman slapped by harasser says new French law falls short PARIS — A 22-year-old woman who became a symbol of sexual harassment on France’s streets says a new law banning offensive comments and behavior isn’t enough to stop them. Marie Laguerre said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that she has received messages of thanks from women and men after she posted a video of a man who had made obscene noises slapping her after she told him to shut up. French lawmakers approved a bill late Wednesday to outlaw sexual harassment on the streets and public transportation. The law allows fines for degrading, hostile or offensive sexual comments and behavior, Laguerre says police would need to be everywhere and to recognize infractions for the law to be effective. She thinks education is “key to change the mentality.”
Dozens protest policies in Italy on Roma Holocaust day ROME — Dozens of activists have gathered outside Italy’s parliament on Roma Holocaust Memorial Day amid new concerns about discrimination against the minority community. Waving Roma flags and displaying signs reading “Stop xenophobia” and “No to pogroms,” the activists gathered Thursday to remember past mistreatment and to protest current conditions in Italy. Interior Minister Matteo Salvini called for a census of the Roma population in June, and police closed a Roma camp in the Italian capital last month. In one of several recent attacks being investigated as possible acts of racism, a young Roma child was shot with an air gun in Rome and left partially paralyzed. Some of the protesters at Thursday’s demonstration wore the brown, triangle-shaped badge that Germany’s Nazis forced Roma people to wear.
Ceremony marks 75 years since Treblinka death camp revolt WARSAW, Poland — Israeli Ambassador Anna Azari joined Polish officials and the relatives of former inmates in a ceremony marking 75 years since the revolt of prisoners at the Nazi German death camp of Treblinka. Ada Krystyna Willenberg, the widow of one revolt fighter Samuel Willenberg, appealed Thursday for a proper museum to be built at the site of the former camp. The current memorial consists of boulders bearing the names of locations that the inmates came from. Some 900,000 Jews, chiefly from Poland, were killed from 1941 to 1944 at Treblinka, considered one of the deadliest Nazi death camps in occupied Poland during World War II. Only some 300 inmates managed to escape during the Aug.2, 1943, revolt. Only a few dozen of them avoided being caught and survived.

US religious orders overwhelmingly back women deacons By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — A new survey has found that the majority of U.S. Catholic religious orders believe women should be allowed to serve as ordained deacons, lending support to an issue currently under study at the Vatican amid pressure for women to be given greater roles in the church. Seventy-seven percent of both male and female superiors in the U.S. believe such ordination is theoretically possible, and 72 percent think the church should go ahead and authorize it, according to the study released Thursday by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University in Washington. Only 45 percent, however, believe the church will actually do it, the study found. Deacons are ordained ministers, not priests, though they can perform many of the same functions as priests. They preside at weddings, baptisms and funerals, and they can preach.
They cannot celebrate Mass. Currently, married men can serve as deacons. Women cannot, though historians say women served as deacons in the early church. Advocates for expanding the ministry to include women say doing so would provide women with greater role in the ministry and governance of the church, while also helping address the effects of the Catholic priest shortage in parts of the world by allowing women to perform some priestly functions. Opponents say ordaining women to the deaconate would signal the start of a slippery slope toward ordaining women to the priesthood. The Catholic Church reserves the priesthood for men, saying Christ chose only men as his 12 apostles. Pope Francis has repeatedly reaffirmed the teaching. Francis did, however, authorize the creation of a commission to study the role of women deacons in the early church in 2016, responding to a request from the International Union of Superior’s

General, the Rome-based association representing the leadership of the world’s women’s religious orders. The commission’s work has been shrouded in secrecy and it’s not clear if or when its findings will be made public. In the meantime, the church is pressing ahead with the issue. A recent preparatory document for the Vatican’s 2019 summit of bishops on the Amazon called for church leaders to identify new “official ministries” for women to play in the Amazon, which has been afflicted by an acute shortage of priests. That suggests that the diaconate for women could be on the table at the meeting, though there are other “lay” ministries open to women as well. The CARA survey of U.S. religious orders was conducted from January-May and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.55 percentage points. About half of the 777 religious superiors replied to written questions and follow-up from researchers. The center said
the 385 responses it did receive “strongly resemble” the overall pool of potential respondents. The survey found that 76 percent of responders believed that ordaining women as deacons would benefit the church’s mission. Eighty-four percent believed that doing so would increase calls for ordaining women as priests. From the start of his pontificate, Francis has insisted that women must have a greater role in the life of the church and greater say in its decisionmaking — while reaffirming that they cannot be priests. He has said repeatedly that he values the “feminine genius,” that there’s no reason why a woman couldn’t head certain Vatican offices and that the church hierarchy would do well to hear more from women’s perspectives. But history’s first Latin American pope has also hit a few sour notes with women, calling Europe an infertile “grandmother,” urging nuns not to be “old maids” and once
calling new female members of the world’s leading theological commission “strawberries on the cake.” There are no women among Francis’ senior advisers. Phyllis Zagano, a member of the Vatican’s commission, has written that much of the criticism and confusion over women deacons stems from ignorance about the distinctly separate ministries of priest and deacon, and the erroneous belief that those advocating for women deacons have a secret
agenda to ordain women as priests. “We know today that married deacons are not eligible for priesthood. Neither would women deacons be eligible,” Zagano wrote in a February article for U.S. Catholic magazine. “To deny the people of God the ordained ministry of women deacons is a serious failing that the church in the west has lived with for 800 years.” ——— Follow Nicole Winfield at www.twitter.com/nwinfield

Congressman Young speaks of graddaughter’s addiction at Juneau forum JUNEAU (AP) — U.S. Rep. Don Young shared a personal story about drug addiction Wednesday during a public forum, saying he has a granddaughter who has struggled to become sober. The challenge for the woman, who is in her 20s, and others, he said, is access to services after leaving rehabilitation. The Republican said resources, like halfway houses, are needed. He said he will spend time with the woman, whose addiction he did not describe, and she will tell him she’s OK, but it only takes two or three weeks before “she falls back to those that she ran with before. That is what drives me crazy.” He shared his personal story during a forum on Alaska Native issues in Juneau, after a man spoke of his effort to get sober. Young, 85, is seeking re-election this year. He reiterated his support of gun rights and took issue with focusing on guns in the wake of school shootings. “I will say right up front, there is another problem. I’m one who believes we’re not addressing that problem. We’re picking out the instrument,” he said. He said drug dealers are “killing your kids.” “And what are we doing about the drug dealers?” he continued. “But anytime we have a shooting, it is always the gun.” Young said he would weigh a request to support legislation aimed in part at helping give tribal governments the resources and information necessary to more effectively respond to cases of missing and killed individuals. The bill sounds like the right thing to do, he said. “I go back to why this is occurring, and mostly it’s alcohol and drug related. And we have to address that issue ... you can’t do it with just troopers. You have to do it with yourselves, too,” he said. Richard Peterson, president of the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, said safety is the responsibility of Alaska, not just the responsibility of a sovereign community or a tribe. “We’re in this together, and we have to remember that. So I want you to all remember that and I remind you, congressman, sovereignty doesn’t mean that we’re alone,” he said.
Premera seeks average premium rate drop in state for second year JUNEAU (AP) — The lone provider of individual health insurance policies in Alaska says it is seeking an average rate decrease across its plans for the second year. Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield is seeking an average rate decrease of 3.9 percent for 2019. The state approved an average rate decrease of 22.4 percent for 2018 for Premera plans. In a statement, Jim Grazko, president and general manager of Premera’s Alaska office, says several factors contributed to the lower rates. They include a decrease in use of medical services, stability in the state’s individual insurance market and coverage of high-cost claims through a state program approved in 2016. Gov. Bill Walker says thousands of Alaskans will save money because of the state program. The rate filing still must be finalized by the state. —The Associated Press
In preparation for the fiscal year 2018 budget, the state reduced Medicaid rates by 10.3 percent as a cost-saving measure, said Jon Sherwood, deputy commissioner for Medicaid and health care policy for the department. However, the reduction, which was supposed to be implemented Oct. 1, 2017, wasn’t applied until June 11 of this year because of an administrative oversight, he said. “We did not submit the work order required to implement it,” Sherwood said. Since the oversight, Sherwood said the department has updated its policies and proce-

She was even personally squeamish about breastfeeding at first. “I had times when I had to hang baby blankets up in my house to be able to do it,” she said. With her fourth child, however, “I just kind of broke free and nursed whenever I wanted,” she said. Berger is now a strong advocate of breastfeeding, and has participated at Big Latch On four times — twice as a breastfeeding mother and twice as a host. Kenai resident Bridget Wimberly, a mother of three with a fourth baby on the way, has

dures to reiterate staff responsibilities. Sherwood also said that nothing like this, that he knows of, has happened before. Now, the state is asking for the money back. “We recognize this is going to potentially put a financial burden on our providers, and we deeply regret the oversight,” Sherwood said. Providers were notified on June 29 about the recoupment, and Sherwood said the department will very soon be reaching out to providers by letter and phone call to update the amount owed and to discuss a plan for payment. There will be several ways providers can pay: either as a lump sum or through installments. Hardship waivers are also available upon request and approval.
Shay said she doesn’t have $8,000 saved up for this. “If I knew this was coming I would have stashed some money away,” Shay said. Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna is expecting to pay more, somewhere between $200,000 and $300,000, according to the hospital’s government and external affairs director, Bruce Richards. “It was a surprise,” Richards said. “But I certainly understand how this happens. It’s not a make or break issue for the hospital.” Both Shay and Richards said the recoupment or the rate adjustments won’t affect the number of Medicaid clients they take on in the future. “For me personally, it’s definitely not going to stop me
from providing services to the clients, because they need it,” Shay said. “These are usually clients that don’t have the financial ability to pay for it.” However, the recoupment and the 10.3 percent readjustment that was implemented this summer is creating, what Shay calls, “a scary time” in her practice. “It’s cut back on my time with the families,” Shay said. “I used to offer one-hour sessions, and now I just can’t do that anymore. I offer half-hour sessions. It’s kind of disappointing because I’m cutting back on the time I’m spending with clients, but all of my families have been really understanding.” Reach Victoria Petersen at vpetersen@peninsulaclarion. com.
had her share of dirty looks and complaints when breastfeeding. “My first encounter was with my first child and it was at the bookstore coffee shop, and I remember being so ashamed. I don’t want people to feel that way,” she said. Although Wimberly hasn’t attended a local Latch On event, she has been involved in local breastfeeding support organizations, and provides breast milk to other women who have difficulties producing their own breast milk through a milk-sharing program. She is also working to raise awareness about the importance of nursing beyond the first few months of a child’s life. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants are exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life. Foods can be gradually
introduced to the child after six months, with breastfeeding continuing after one year if both mother and child desire, according to the National Institutes of Health. The World Health Organization goes further — recommending that a child is breastfed along with supplemental nutrition until he or she is 2 years old. “I’m more confident in nursing and nursing toddlers, but I know there are a lot of new moms who aren’t so confident and don’t have a good support network,” she said. “I’m always willing to talk to somebody, and pass along information that I can.” As someone who provides peer support, Van Vleet emphasized the importance of talking about birthing issues to help women feel better about their decisions — whether it’s choos-
ing to use formula or choosing to breastfeed. “One of the thing that I constantly see is that woman feel unsupported in choices,” she said. Although the Latch On event provides a space for women to embrace breastfeeding, it’s not exclusively for those breastfeeding. “What I love about it is that it’s not just for nursing moms. Anyone who is going to support nursing moms is welcome at this event.” The 2018 Big Latch On event will take place at the Soldotna Creek Park on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will be accompanied by a carnival, including food, games, prizes, face painting and a petting zoo.

quirement for voter approval to increase the cap on taxable sales in the borough, was withdrawn at the assembly’s July 17 meeting. Kenn Carpenter, the sponsor, said he didn’t receive enough feedback from the public on the proposal and didn’t feel comfortable going forward with it without more commentary. “To make it clear, I could have proceeded,” he wrote in
an email. “However, I did not want to pass something without the public being involved. I may want to revisit this later this year or next but it did not feel like the right time or thing to do at this time.” He said he hoped more people would offer feedback on issues before the assembly in the future. The assembly has tried twice in the last three years to ask for
voter approval to increase the cap on taxable sales from $500 to $1,000. Voters have returned a decisive “no” both times. Carpenter’s ordinance would have revised borough code to allow the assembly to increase the cap without voter approval, the same way it can increase the property tax rate without voter approval.

Penguins & salmon transform landscape By SUE MAUGER For the Peninsula Clarion
As we stepped out of zodiacs and landed on Pleneau Island off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, we saw green. In an environment of ice, snow and barren rock, green is notable. We had seen pink snow at some of our earlier landings. Penguins eat a lot of krill, which are shrimplike crustaceans with pink pigmentation. What goes in must come out. We assumed that when penguins poop, they pooped pink. But green poop? As a team of 76 scientists, our inquiring minds wanted answers. Although we were on an expedition ship, we did not have research permits to deploy probes and nets over the side or collect water samples for analysis back home. However, one brilliant researcher had thought ahead. Hannah, a PhD student from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, packed a small microscope in among her extra socks, hats and gloves. When we hit Pleneau Island, she whipped out her portable WaterScope to exclamations of surprise and jealousy, and took a closer look at the pink- and green-tinged snow on the spot. What she saw and shared with all of us was red and green cells of algae. It turns out that although some of the pigment we saw on the snow was coming from the penguins’ krill-based diet, there were also algae turning the snow pink and green. We see this here in Alaska at times. When the sun heats up the snow surface on a
glacier or snowfield, certain algae can thrive in the water on the snow surface. In Antarctica, these colors and evidence of available nutrients for algae to grow on snow was surprising. Our warming world is exposing more and more barren edges as ice shelves collapse and glaciers retreat; melting snow is more common as temperatures rise in the polar regions. Can these newly emerging edges transform into productive, life supporting ecosystems? For this to happen, nutrients need to be transported from the highly productive oceans onto the new landscape. A snow-free, postglacial beach strewn with pebbles for making nests is paradise to a pair of breeding Gentoo penguins. With hordes of tottering birds going off to the ocean daily to catch krill and returning to land to feed little chicks, penguin poop in volume and stench is impressive. Based on a rough estimate, a colony of 500 Gentoo penguins would result in 3,000 pounds of poop each year. This rich contribution of marine-derived nutrients will slowly transform these rockscapes into coastal ribbons of algae and carpets of moss. Here in Alaska, salmon are the conduits for moving ocean nutrients into coastal systems. Spawning salmon feed the bears and eagles and contribute to the overall productivity of the landscape. As receding glaciers create new freshwater habitat, straying salmon will soon follow. Over time marine-derived See BIRDS, page B2
Ohio State closes ranks amid scandal By MITCH STACY AP Sports Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State closed ranks around the rollout of its football season as the university investigates whether coach Urban Meyer failed to report domestic abuse allegations, a scandal hitting a school already accused of not facing up to sexual misconduct allegations against a sports doctor. The Buckeyes planned to open their first football practice Friday without Meyer, who was put on administrative leave during the probe and also suspended from an endorsement deal by
restaurant chain Bob Evans. It’s not clear how restrictive the paid leave will be for the coach set to earn $7.6 million for the season after getting a raise this year. Ohio State officials said Thursday that reporters would be barred from football practices until at least next week, and university trustees announced that a six-member committee will head up the investigation. Co-offensive coordinator Ryan Day has been named acting head coach. “Due to the ongoing investigation, football coaches and student-athletes will not be availSee MEYER, page B3
Like a scene out of Forrest Gump, Ohio runner Pete Kostelnick will be running across America because it’s what he loves, and he loves to dream big. Kostelnick, who already owns the Guinness World Record for unsupported coast-to-coast run from San Francisco to New York, is now reaching higher. The 30-year-old ultra runner is attempting to run from Anchor Point, Alaska, to Key West, Florida, in what he has dubbed the “Ke2Key” challenge. It’s a journey that Kostelnick said he is doing more for the experience, not the record headlines. “Last time, I didn’t really have a chance to stop along the way and experience things,” he said. “It was run, eat, sleep, repeat. “This run will force me to be aware of my surroundings, it’ll be a chance to really take it in.” Kostelnick began Tuesday morning at 5 a.m. in Anchor Point, just a few miles up the Sterling Highway from Homer, completing the first day of his mega journey with a 61-mile run to Soldotna, where he arrived Tuesday evening. The run continued Wednesday with a 49-mile jaunt to Cooper Landing. The self-supported run attempt is one that has never been done before, Kostelnick said, and since he is taking this one easy, he expects to make it to Key West in just over 100 days, or mid-November. Kostelnick said the last time he ran across the country, he averaged 70-plus miles a day. This time, he is shooting for 50 to 60 miles per day. “I kind of wanted to come up with a bigger challenge for myself,” he said Monday evening. “This one will be more challenging.” Kostelnick said the reason he is starting in Anchor Point is due to the town’s location as the furthest west point on a major U.S. highway system, and Key West, Florida, is basically as far south as the American highway system goes. It’s not the first transcontinental jog he’s attempted. Two years ago, Kostelnick set the record for fastest crossing on foot from San Francisco to New York, a 3,067-mile journey that took Kostelnick 42 days, six hours and 30 minutes to complete, erasing four days from a mark that had stood for 36 years. Kostelnick averaged 72 miles per day on his record-breaking run, and said he experienced the gamut of emotions throughout that six-week jog. “It’s honestly different every day,” Kostelnick said. “Some days I’m enjoying the sights, some days it’s great knowing you can do something like this, and it’s really something no one has ever attempted. It’s pushing the limits of what’s possible.” This time, Kostelnick will be attempting to complete about 5,319 miles self supported. Kostelnick will run with just a stroller to push in front of him, with the See RUNNER, page B4

Oilers bow out of ABL playoffs Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The postseason dreams didn’t last long for the Peninsula Oilers. With the backs against the wall and facing elimination, the Oilers went quietly with a 15-2 blowout loss to the Anchorage Bucs in a two-game series sweep in the Alaska Baseball League playoffs.
The win for the Bucs sent them to the championship series against the Mat-Su Miners, who clinched a fourth straight trip to the Top of the World Series by defeating the Chugiak Chinooks 5-3 for a two-game sweep. The loss wrapped the Oilers’ season at 23-23, including the postseason. Oilers head coach Kyle Brown said the blowout loss
to end the season did not put a damper on what was a successful summer behind the scenes. “I’m proud of the way they played after the hot start, and building a culture of winning,” Brown said in a radio interview on ESPN 1140. “Every day in and day out, they showed up and gave their best effort. I’m just super happy with the effort they put forth.”
The Bucs blasted two home runs along the way to 13 base hits against a weary Oilers staff, led by Jake Vieth’s 2-for-4 day with a three-run homer, and Logan Ehnes’ 1-for-4 outing with a two-run shot. Ehnes notched three runs. Also for Anchorage, J.C. Correa hit 3 for 7 with two runs. Zach Zalesky went 2 for See OILERS, page B2
Why do moose cross the road? Wildlife underpasses explained
W
hy do moose cross the road? To get to the other side, of course — as do other wildlife like lynx, caribou, bears and wolves. The nature of the beast is that dens and calving areas and salmon and hardwood browse and berries don’t all occur in the same place. Here on the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, it seems reasonable that we like wildlife to move freely around to access these sometimes patchily-distributed resources. The problem is that it’s not that simple. Almost 1.4 million vehicles per year travel down the Milepost 58 to 79 section of the Sterling Highway that bisects the Refuge between Jim’s
Landing and Sterling. That traffic volume translates to a vehicle every 22 seconds, making this a formidable (albeit moving) barrier to wildlife like wolves and bears that tend to avoid traffic. For animals like moose that are sometimes attracted to the roadside hardwood browse, road salts or plowed roadways, this translates to 225 to 250 collisions with vehicles annually on the Kenai Peninsula, 90 percent of which are cows and calves. This mortality approximates the number of moose (mostly bulls) legally harvested on the peninsula every year! In addition to this waste of meat and hunting opportunity, moose-vehicle collisions average $36,000 in ve-
R efuge N otebook J ohn M orton hicle damage, lost wages and towing, medical and investigation costs. That’s $9 million per year! And sometimes people die, for which there is no price tag. Needless to say, the Refuge is just as interested in public safety as it is in ensuring wildlife movement. The answer clearly isn’t to prevent moose from crossing the highway. Thomas
McDonough and Sean Farley, two local biologists with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, coauthored a 2015 journal article in which their research showed that moose populations in Anchorage were genetically different on either side of the Glenn Highway because of the restricted gene flow (movement) caused by fencing and heavy traffic. While they didn’t find any detectable effect due to the Sterling Highway, it’s clear that this is a looming issue as traffic volumes increase on the Kenai Peninsula. Instead, the Refuge worked closely with an Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) planning team to develop
six underpasses for wildlife passage on this 21-mile section of the Sterling Highway. Perhaps the most noticeable underpass is the new bridge over the East Fork of the Moose River. This almost-140-foot bridge will provide a 104-foot wide by 18-foot high opening for moose and the Kenai Lowland caribou herd, eventually replacing the small culvert and very high road bed that currently exists there. The other five underpasses are large culverts ranging in height from eight feet for bears and lynx to twin culverts for moose, each 16 feet high. This latter structure anchors the west end of 1.5 miles of fencing on either side of See PASS, page B4

nutrients will build up enough to support algal growth and aquatic insects. Dead salmon can bring a newly emerging stream to life. Although new habitat for penguins and salmon seems like all good news, the reality is that recent warming is hap-
pening fast and ecosystem interactions are complex. New, snow-free habitat for Gentoo penguins likely means fewer colonies of sea ice-dependent Adélie penguins. And for salmon, the same warming that melts the glaciers to create new habitat also warms the ocean and streams, which makes them vulnerable to pollution, predation and disease. The dismal returns of Chinook salmon to Cook Inlet this year may be the

3 to lead the Oilers, which finished with seven team hits. On the mound, team ERA leader Mike Lopez got the start but lasted just 1 2/3 innings after giving up five runs on four hits and four walks, with three strikeouts. Peninsula coaching staff used its bullpen liberally after dropping into a seven-run deficit in just the fourth inning. Andrew Lopez, Ryan Silva, Bryan Woo, Erickson Fish and Calvin Farris each got time in relief for the Oilers. Fish saw the
result of warmer water in the Gulf of Alaska. And even the story of green and pink snow and algae flourishing from penguin poop has a darker side. One of the key drivers of melting snow and ice is a decrease in albedo in polar regions. A white, ice-covered surface reflects solar radiation (high albedo) while darker surfaces absorb more solar radiation (low albedo). Snow algae, which grows when there is a
longest relief outing with 2 1/3 innings, giving up three earned runs on two hits and five walks with three strikeouts. Andrew Lopez gave up a run on two hits in 1 1/3 frames, Silva gave up three runs on three hits in 1 1/3 frames, Woo pitched 2/3 of an inning of perfect ball, and Farris closed out the final 1 2/3 innings of scoreless ball with two hits. The Bucs didn’t waste time, scoring two runs in the first inning on a Jace VanDeBrake bases-loaded double. The Oilers answered immediately in the bottom of the frame with four straight singles by Zach Zalesky, Paul Kunst, Grant Wood and Ryan Koch, the latter two which scored runs to even the score at 2-all.
little bit of melting snow, darkens the snow surface and accelerates the snow melting. A recent study estimated that there is a 13 percent decrease in snow albedo by red pigmented snow algal blooms over the course of one melt season in the Arctic. A study on the Kenai Peninsula’s Harding Ice Field showed redsnow algae increased melting by about 17 percent. This new understanding of the role of snow algae in accelerating melt
The Bucs came back with three runs in the second inning to take a 5-2 lead that they wouldn’t give up. Correa put Anchorage ahead on an RBI single, Troy Claunch added a run on an RBI groundout, and Brennan Breaux — Wednesday’s hero with a walkoff single — drew a walk to force in a run. The Bucs opened it up in the top of the fourth with four runs, starting with a leadoff double by Claunch. Three batters later, Willy Escala notched a two-RBI single, and Ehnes followed it up with a two-run homer to push the lead to 9-2. The Bucs tacked on six more runs in the eighth inning, highlighted by Vieth’s threerun yard shot.
Coyotes to retire Doan’s number By JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Shane Doan joined the Arizona Coyotes before they moved to the desert, and over the years experienced the high of reaching the Western Conference finals, the low of being told he was not part of the franchise’s future plans. Doan played all 21 of his NHL seasons with the Coyotes, racking up a slew of team records while serving as one of
the most respected captains in the league. Now he will get a new honor: First Arizona player to have his jersey retired. Doan will have his No. 19 retired during a pregame ceremony on Feb. 24 , when the Coyotes face the Winnipeg Jets. He also will join Bobby Hull, Dale Hawerchuk, Thomas Steen, Keith Tkachuk, Jeremy Roenick and Teppo Numminen in the team’s ring of honor, which includes the franchise’s time in Winnipeg.
“It’s something special to be included in that group,” Doan said during a conference call Wednesday. “It’s kind of overwhelming. No one ever dreams or thinks about getting your jersey retired. They just want to play a game in the NHL. When you’re playing, you don’t think of this stuff and this coming up was pretty special.” Doan was drafted by Winnipeg with the seventh overall pick in the 1995 NHL draft and followed the franchise West to the desert a year later. The
bruising forward established himself as an iconic Valley of the Sun sports figure with his leadership, loyalty, hard-working ways and connection to the community. Doan was the face and voice of the franchise during the four years it was operated by the NHL after the owner filed for bankruptcy. He was the leader who guided the Coyotes to their first Western Conference Finals in 2012, riding the momentum of fan support the run generated.

Perhaps more importantly is whether we will be able to adapt our economic and political systems fast enough to slow down the warming and give them a fighting chance.

Pearce rakes 3 HR to send Sox to win By The Associated Press
BOSTON — Steve Pearce homered three times, the second a three-run drive in an eight-run fourth inning as the Boston Red Sox rallied from an early deficit to beat the New York Yankees 15-7 on Thursday night and take a season-high 6½-game lead in the AL East. In the opener of a four-game series that gave New York the potential to erase most of its division deficit, the Red Sox instead opened a bigger gap, taking advantage of manager Aaron Boone’s decision to pull starter CC Sabathia after three innings with a 4-2 lead. Jonathan Holder (1-2) faced seven batters and did not record an out. Mookie Betts had four hits and two walks, reaching safely all six times he came to the plate. Pearce, J.D. Martinez, Ian Kinsler and Andrew Benintendi had three hits apiece for Boston. Didi Grigorius homered twice, Aaron Hicks hit one and Giancarlo Stanton got his 25th of the season for the Yankees, who have lost just twice in the past week but dropped two games in the division. Brian Johnson (2-3), making a spot start because AL ERA and strikeout leader Chris Sale went on the disabled list, fanned a career-high 11 for his first victory since April 2. CARDINALS 3, ROCKIES 2 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Pinch-hitter Jose Martinez sliced an opposite-field single to the right-center field gap off Wade Davis with one out in the ninth inning, driving in the tying and go-ahead runs and lifting St. Louis over Colorado. Greg Garcia singled with one out against Davis (2-4) and took third on a single by rookie Harrison Bader. Bader stole second, and Martinez singled on a high fastball, giving the Cardinals their ninth walkoff win this season. Davis has a career-high five blown saves in 36 chances. Chasen Shreve (3-2), acquired from the New York Yankees on Saturday, pitched a perfect ninth in his second appearance for the Cardinals.
DODGERS 21, BREWERS 5 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cody Bellinger hit a grand slam, Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig hit two homers each, and the Dodgers cruised past Milwaukee. Brian Dozier and Justin Turner also went deep as the Dodgers finished with their highest scoring total at Dodger Stadium. Los Angeles hit a season high-tying seven homers, and also set season highs for runs in a game, and in an inning when they had nine in the seventh. Clayton Kershaw (5-5) gave up two runs and five hits over six innings, winning his second consecutive start. Christian Yelich and Jesus Augilar each hit home runs for the Brewers, who lost for just the fifth time in 13 games.
start, and San Diego beat Chicago. The Padres ended a seasonhigh, seven-game losing streak. Hedges homered off Jesse Chavez (3-2) in the sixth inning for a 3-1 lead, his third homer in six games and seventh overall. Hedges and Manuel Margot each had three of the Padres’ 15 hits, and Margot, Eric Hosmer and A.J. Ellis drove in runs. Erlin (2-3) allowed one run, struck out four and walked one in his third start this season and first since May 21. Four relievers followed in a three-hitter for the Padres.
NATIONALS 10, REDS 4 WASHINGTON (AP) — Max Scherzer struck out 10 in six innings for his fifth win in as many starts, helping the Washington beat Cincinnati.. Scherzer (15-5) also singled in a run off Tyler Mahle (7-9) during a six-run second inning as the Nationals won their third straight and moved two games above .500 for the first time since July 7. Washington slugger Bryce Harper hit his 26th homer of the season, a blast into the second deck in right-center in the eighth.
PHILLIES 5, MARLINS 2 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Maikel Franco hit a three-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to lift Philadelphia past Miami. Nick Williams drove in the tying run with a bases-loaded groundout off Kyle Barraclough (0-5) in the ninth. Franco followed with a high drive on a 2-0 pitch into the seats in left. He flipped his bat backward between home plate and first base, jogged without a helmet and was swarmed by teammates after he circled the bases.
GIANTS 8, DIAMONDBACKS 1 PHOENIX (AP) — Madison Bumgarner worked through traffic in five innings to out-pitch Zack Greinke in a duel of aces, lifting San Francisco past Arizona. Bumgarner (4-4) pitched with runners on in every inning, yet limited the Diamondbacks to a run on seven hits. He stranded nine runners and struck out five.
BRAVES 4, METS 2 NEW YORK (AP) — Ronald Acuna Jr. led off with his first big league triple and reached three times, Johan Camargo hit a tworun double in a three-run third inning, and Atlanta extended its winning streak to four by beating New York. Mike Foltynewicz (8-7) won for the first time since July 11, allowing two runs and five hits in six innings. Three pitchers followed with one-hit relief as the Braves improved to 10-3 against the Mets this year.

Control freak Meyer suddenly knows nothing on Ohio State scandal
C
ollege coaches are notorious control freaks. From making sure every minute of practice is accounted for to fretting over what players are putting in their bodies at the dining hall, no detail is too small for a coach’s prying eyes. They have to know everything. Which is why it’s ludicrous to believe that Urban Meyer turned into Sgt. Schultz — the “Hogan’s Heroes” character famous for saying “I know nothing. Nothing!” — when asked about multiple domestic abuse allegations involving one of his assistant coaches. Which is why Meyer will probably soon be Ohio State’s ex-football coach. Meyer was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday while Ohio State conducts an investigation into what he knew and when he knew it, but we all know where this is likely headed. Like so many who came before him — Joe Paterno, Rick Pitino, et al — Meyer was more consumed with winning at all costs, protecting his program’s reputation and covering for his buddies than doing the right thing, the obvious thing, what should’ve been the easy thing. For Meyer, the handling of former Buckeyes assistant Zach Smith is simply the latest episode in a disturbing pattern of playing dumb, even while

able for interviews until further notice and all practices will be closed,” Ohio State spokesman Jerry Emig said in an email. Meyer’s future with one of the most storied programs in college football depends on how he managed allegations that Buckeyes assistant and recruiting coordinator Zach Smith abused his ex-wife, Courtney Smith — answering the questions of what Meyer knew and when. Courtney Smith alleged Wednesday that she told Meyer’s wife, Shelley, about the abuse in text messages and phone conversations in 2015 and that Shelley Meyer indi-
keeping track of such minute details as a player’s heart rate at practice . In his previous job at Florida, Meyer captured two national championships but never seemed all that concerned about the staggering number of players — more than two dozen in all, enough to fill out a complete offense and defense — getting into trouble off the field. Then there was Aaron Hernandez. No one knew what kind of monster he would turn out to be during three seasons with the Gators, but plenty of NFL teams sure had their concerns after he entered the 2010 draft. Hernandez plummeted all the way to the fourth round before he was picked by the New England Patriots, amid reports of multiple failed drugs tests while at Florida. Hernandez wound up in prison for murder and killed himself behind bars. We’ll never know if this tragic story would’ve taken a different turn, if only Meyer had dealt more forcefully with such a clearly disturbed player during his time in Gainesville. Let’s not forget Meyer’s mysterious departure from the Gators. He resigned after the 2009 season, citing health concerns, but changed his mind a day later. He coached at Florida one more season and quit again, this time saying he wanted to devote more time to his wife and children. Apparently, one year on the sideline was all the family time he needed.
cated she would tell the head coach. Courtney Smith’s allegations — including the text messages — were reported by former ESPN reporter Brett McMurphy on his Facebook page and in a video interview with Smith. “In 2015 I came forward with it,” Courtney Smith said in the interview. “I told Shelley, I sent her some pictures (of her injuries), I spoke to her on the phone.” Meyer told reporters last week that he didn’t know anything about the 2015 incident. It is not clear what contact Meyer had, if any, with university officials about the situation until Smith was fired last month. Smith has never been criminally charged. Separately, a court hearing for Zach Smith was postponed
S ports V iews P aul N ewberry No wonder his critics referred to him as “Urban Liar.” In 2012, Meyer returned to coaching at Ohio State, taking over a storied program in his home state after another national championship-winning coach, Jim Tressel, was forced out for lying to the school and the NCAA about violations committed by his players. Meyer won a national title of his own with the Buckeyes. And, now, it looks like he’s headed for the same ending as Tressel. This possible cover-up involves Smith, whose ties to Meyer run deep. Smith is the grandson of late Ohio State coach Earle Bruce, a mentor to Meyer and one of the most influential people in his life. Smith played for Meyer at Bowling Green. When Smith decided to get into coaching, it was only appropriate that Meyer was there with a job. But Smith’s personal life has long been troubled, and Meyer certainly knew at least part of the story. Last week at Big Ten media days, the coach said he was aware of a 2009 case in which Smith was accused of aggravated battery on his then-pregnant wife
Thursday on a domestic protection order sought by his exwife. She asked for the order after a July 20 disagreement and the court action resulted in Zach Smith being fired from Ohio State, where he was set to make $340,000 for the 2018 season. The Smiths are due in court in September and their lawyers did not respond to messages seeking comment Thursday. Ohio State is investigating Meyer while also facing three federal lawsuits about its response to allegations of groping, leering and other misconduct by a deceased athletic department doctor who treated wrestlers and other students for two decades. The lawsuits alleging sexual abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss say Ohio State facilitated the abuse by ignor-
while coaching at Florida. The charge was dropped because of insufficient evidence. Meyer said he and his wife, Shelley, addressed the incident with the Smiths, but that’s about as far as it went. When Meyer was hired by the Buckeyes, Smith again joined the staff as a receivers coach and ace recruiter. The strife at home didn’t let up. Police reports obtained by cleveland. com detail nine domestic incidents involving Smith and his now ex-wife Courtney between 2012 and last month. Most troubling, that includes an alleged incident of domestic abuse on Oct. 25, 2015, shortly before the couple divorced. Courtney Smith told Stadium that she told Shelley Meyer in 2015 that Zach Smith had assaulted her . Courtney Smith provided text messages to former ESPN reporter Brett McMurphy between her and Shelley Meyer about Zach Smith’s behavior, and threatening text messages she said were sent to her by Zach Smith. “Shelley said she was going to have to tell Urban,” Courtney Smith told Stadium. “I said: ‘That’s fine, you should tell Urban.’” Courtney Smith concedes that she does not know if Shelley Meyer ever told her husband about the allegations. If we’re to believe what Urban Meyer said last week, his wife kept quiet about the whole affair, not even bothering to mention at the dinner table,
ing complaints. Since Ohio State announced an independent investigation in April, more than 100 former students have come forward with accounts of sexual misconduct by Strauss. The allegations range from 1979 to 1997 and involve male athletes from 14 sports, as well as his work at the student health center and his off-campus medical office. The questions confronting Meyer involve whether he vouched too strongly for a coach he’s considered family. The 34-year-old Zach Smith is the grandson of Meyer’s mentor and former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce. He played for Meyer as a walk-on at Bowling Green, worked for him at Florida and was hired as the wide receivers coach when Meyer came to Ohio State in 2012.
“Hey, you’ve got an assistant coach who might have a problem.” Urban Meyer could even be throwing his wife under the bus, since as a university employee herself she would be required under Ohio State’s Title IX sexual misconduct policy to report any allegation of domestic violence against someone who works at the school. “I can’t say it didn’t happen because I wasn’t there,” Urban Meyer said during Big Ten media days. “I was never told about anything and nothing ever came to light. I’ve never had a conversation about it. I know nothing about it.” Zach Smith was finally dismissed by Meyer on July 23 after an Ohio court granted a domestic violence protective order to Courtney Smith against her former husband. Zach Smith has never been convicted of a crime or charged with assaulting his ex-wife, and his attorney said he will be exonerated when all the facts come out. Even so, Meyer’s claims of ignorance seem downright implausible. If that proves to be the case, he should be out of a job. Of course, this being college athletics, Meyer wouldn’t be out of work for long. There will always be another school that cares more about his success as a coach than his failings as a human being.
Meyer acknowledged last week that he had been aware of a 2009 domestic-abuse incident in Gainesville. He said he and Shelley counseled the couple and allowed Zach Smith to remain on his staff. Meyer ended up as the Ohio State coach because of a previous football scandal. Coach Jim Tressel was fired in 2011 for lying to the NCAA and university of about rules violations committed by some of his players. The Ohio State probe bears similarities to scandals past for other big-time college programs, centering on whether a team’s leader properly reported potential wrongdoing. The similarity prompted the son of late Penn State coach Joe Paterno to weigh in with his opinion about public response criticizing Meyer, comparing Meyer’s sit-
uation with the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Jay Paterno, who was an assistant coach to his father and is currently an elected Penn State trustee, said in a blog post that “we should wait for facts” before calling for the Buckeyes coach to be fired. Joe Paterno’s career four-decade career as Penn State coach ended when he was fired amid questions about how much he knew about Sandusky’s past crimes and whether he acted appropriately with allegations he was told of by an assistant coach. “As Penn Staters, we’ve seen the forces of innuendo, implication and allegation damage the lives and careers of good innocent people,” Jay Paterno wrote, saying Americans should demand more.
Poulter leads Bridgestone at 8-under Today in History By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer
AKRON, Ohio — Ian Poulter was annoyed upon realizing he had never finished better than 13th at Firestone, so he took a step toward doing something about it Thursday with an 8-under 62 and a oneshot lead in the Bridgestone Invitational. Tiger Woods found himself fighting his swing. He settled for a 66. Such was the difference of two players with vastly different memories on the stout South course at Firestone. Woods is an eight-time winner, already a PGA Tour record for most victories on one course. Back at this World Golf Championship for the first time in four years, he made a 50-foot birdie putt and two other long putts to offset some average iron play. It was his best opening round of the year, and he needed it just to keep pace with everyone else on a soft and vulnerable course that led to 45 players in the 71-man field breaking par. The average score was 68.37, the lowest for the opening round at Firestone since it became a WGC in 1999 and the lowest for the first round of any PGA Tour event this season. “I didn’t quite hit it as well as I wanted to,” Woods said. “But I fought out a score today, which was good.” Poulter is playing Firestone for the 14th time, and he came across a sheet showing his yearly results. At least he hasn’t missed the cut, mainly because there is no cut at
these tournaments. He tied for 13th his first year, 10 shots behind. It never got any better. “Yeah, it fires me up,” Poulter said after saving par from a bunker on his last hole for a bogey-free round. “It’s frustrating to look at. I actually thought I had a better finish than that, so it really annoyed me. ... I wrote them all down, they were that bad. I was like, ‘Seriously, how can you play a good golf course this many times and not really have a result?’ So not to even finish in the top 10 is pretty poor.” It’s just a start, but it was a good one. His 62 matched the lowest first-round score at Firestone, first set by Adam Scott in 2011, and it was one off the course record for any round. Rickie Fowler and Kyle Stanley each had a 63, while Jon Rahm, Si Woo Kim and Patrick Cantlay were another shot behind. Seven players were in the group at 65, which included Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Jason Day. Poulter missed a 10-foot putt on No. 8, his second-to-last hole. He was in no mood to quibble. “If you would have offered me this at the start of the day, I would have snapped your arm for it,” he said. “Yeah, we can be greedy and say I’d love to have holed that putt on 8 to have tied the record. But 8 under par’s a pretty decent round for me around this golf course.” Woods seems to put together decent scores even when he feels his game is
slightly off. “It’s nice to shoot rounds like I did at the Open and like I did today, put together rounds where I may not feel the best, but I’m able to post a score,” Woods said. “That’s how you win golf tournaments. You’re not going to have your best all four days, and it’s a matter of that bad day being 2-, 3-under par instead of being 2-, 3-over par. And then everyone has their hot days.” Woods is coming off a tie for sixth at the British Open, where he had the lead for about 30 minutes in the middle of the final round until he fell back with a double bogey. He took a vacation in Switzerland and showed up at Firestone for nine holes of practice on Wednesday. But he knows this course as well as anyone. “I’ve had so many great memories here,” Woods said. “Hopefully, I can have one more.” This is the final year for the World Golf Championship at Firestone. It moves to Memphis, Tennessee, next year. McIlroy played in the group ahead of Woods and struggled to get the ball in play over the first half of his round. He figured it out, which he had to on a day like this. “You can’t find this golf course any easier than we had it today,” McIlroy said. “It’s soft. It’s probably the softest I’ve ever seen it. ... So you needed to take advantage of the conditions today. It looked like most of the guys have done that, which is good.”
Woods, Mickelson set for $10M match By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer
AKRON, Ohio — Phil Mickelson confirmed a report that an exhibition match against Tiger Woods is set for Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas. Those are about all the details he had. Golf.com reported last month that Woods and Mickelson, who have combined for 19 majors, 122 victories on the PGA Tour and 90 years on earth, were contemplating a winner-take-all $10 million match. ESPN said it would be at Shadow Creek on Thanksgiving weekend. Woods says he
had nothing more to add. “We haven’t signed anything. Nothing’s confirmed.” The ESPN report early Thursday did not mention prize money, corporate support or television details. Woods and Mickelson played a practice round together at the Masters, were in the same group at The Players Championship and played a nine-hole practice round on Wednesday at Firestone. They have the most PGA Tour titles of players from their generation, though they never competed on the back nine with a major championship at stake except for the 2001 Masters and 2002 U.S. Open, both won
by Woods. Woods once played the starring role in Monday night exhibitions nearly two decades ago, which were televised by ABC. The first one was dubbed the “Showdown at Sherwood” between Woods and Duval, when they were Nos. 1 and 2 in the world. Woods won and earned $1.1 million, while Duval received $200,000. They each donated $200,000 to charity, half of it going to The First Tee. RAHM’S RECOVERY Jon Rahm missed the cut at the British Open and said his focus wasn’t there. On Thursday, he explained why. The Spaniard said four friends from home were driv-
ing up to Carnoustie when they were involved in a car accident, and one of them was injured seriously enough to require surgery. “At the same time, my grandpa wasn’t feeling great. He was actually undergoing surgery for something else the same day while I was playing,” Rahm said. “My mind wasn’t where it was supposed to be.” Rahm said he stayed Saturday to help with the families because not many of them spoke English. “And I was able to see my friend after he came out of surgery,” Rahm said, adding that his friend just got back home to Spain on Wednesday.
Today is Friday, Aug. 3, the 215th day of 2018. There are 150 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 3, 1936, Jesse Owens of the United States won the first of his four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics as he took the 100-meter sprint. On this date: In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, on a voyage that took him to the present-day Americas. In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr went on trial before a federal court in Richmond, Virginia, charged with treason. (He was acquitted less than a month later.) In 1914, Germany declared war on France at the onset of World War I. In 1921, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis refused to reinstate the former Chicago White Sox players implicated in the “Black Sox” scandal, despite their acquittals in a jury trial. In 1943, U.S. Army Lt. Gen. George S. Patton slapped a private at an army hospital in Sicily, accusing him of cowardice. (Patton was later ordered by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to apologize for this and a second, similar episode.) In 1958, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Nautilus became the first vessel to cross the North Pole underwater. In 1966, comedian Lenny Bruce, whose raunchy brand of satire and dark humor landed him in trouble with the law, was found dead in his Los Angeles home; he was 40. In 1972, the U.S. Senate ratified the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union. (The U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the treaty in 2002.) In 1980, closing ceremonies were held in Moscow for the Summer Olympic Games, which had been boycotted by dozens of countries, including the United States. In 1981, U.S. air traffic controllers went on strike, despite a warning from President Ronald Reagan they would be fired, which they were. In 1987, the Iran-Contra congressional hearings ended, with none of the 29 witnesses tying President Ronald Reagan directly to the diversion of arms-sales profits to Nicaraguan rebels. In 1994, Arkansas carried out the nation’s first triple execution in 32 years. Stephen G. Breyer was sworn in as the Supreme Court’s newest justice in a private ceremony at Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist’s Vermont summer home. Ten years ago: Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Alexander Solzhenitsyn died near Moscow at age 89. Al-Qaida confirmed the death of a top commander (Abu Khabab al-Masri), apparently in a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan; he was accused of training the suicide bombers who’d killed 17 American sailors on the USS Cole in 2000. At least 145 people were killed in a stampede of pilgrims at a remote mountaintop Hindu temple in India. Five years ago: President Barack Obama’s trade representative, Michael Froman, vetoed a yet-to-be-enacted ban on imports of Chinesemade Apple iPads and iPhones, overruling the U.S. International Trade Commission and dealing a setback to rival South Korean electronics company Samsung. Zimbabwe’s electoral panel declared that longtime President Robert Mugabe had won re-election by a landslide. One year ago: Senators introduced two bipartisan bills aimed at protecting Special Counsel Robert Mueller from being fired by President Donald Trump. (Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the effort was unnecessary, and that he wouldn’t let the legislation reach the floor.) West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said he was switching parties to join the Republicans, a move that came as President Donald Trump visited his increasingly conservative state.

. . . Pass Continued from page B1
the highway section that runs between there and the new East Fork bridge. This area is known to have a high moose-vehicle collision rate, in part because moose travel there, but also because of a large bend in the highway near Lily Lake that hides crossing moose until the last second. We’ve made every effort to ensure this fence is porous to other wildlife. It’s eight feet high to stop moose, but it starts one foot off the ground so smaller wildlife can pass under. In addition, 22 “jump-outs” are being installed every eighth of a mile to allow moose that might accidentally walk around the fence to escape. These are dirt ramps that lead up to large gaps in the fence that allow moose to step through and away from the road corridor, but don’t allow moose to return because of a seven-foot vertical drop.
Will wildlife use these underpasses? We already know that overpasses are a better design for moose and caribou. Unfortunately, the cost of overpasses were more than this particular project could afford, but we have ensured that the culverts are as high and as short as they can be to minimize the “tunnel” effect. All but one of the structures pass under two lanes, and they have all been placed in areas of frequent wildlife crossings based on GPS collar data from moose and caribou, moose vehicle collision reports and wildlife observations. As these structures are new for Alaska, we’ll be monitoring their use by wildlife for several years after construction. We fully expect moose and other wildlife to still cross over open pavement, but our interagency goal is to reduce those opportunities for vehicle collisions as much as possible. The Refuge’s goal is to ensure that widening of the road to allow for passing lanes and a wider shoulder doesn’t restrict wildlife movement.

essential supplies needed to keep him moving. Hailing from the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, Kostelnick supports his running career with a financial analyst position. Kostelnick also enjoys sponsorship from HOKA ONE ONE shoes, a California-based company that originated in France, and has raced a handful of prestigious endurance trail races around the country, including the Badwater 135-mile ultramarathon
This project will have other tangible benefits that those who use the Kenai Refuge will appreciate when the construction dust settles next year. A pedestrian underpass will connect the parking lot for the Skyline Trail with its trailhead on the other side of the road. The gravel pit at MP 63.5, an open wound on the landscape for several decades, will finally be remediated. The access to Mystery Creek Road will be realigned to make it safer and to provide public parking. And this is the first DOT&PF project in Alaska to use certified weed-free gravel. Why moose cross the road is no surprise. But the “how” is perhaps the more interesting question. We should find out over the next few years!

in Death Valley, California, which he has won twice in five attempts, and the Western States 100 in California. In May, Kostelnick completed 163 miles in 24 hours on a one-mile course, a feat that allowed him to qualify for the U.S. 24-hour running team. Until last Saturday, Kostelnick’s only Alaskan experience was a 1999 family vacation when he was 11. He said he doesn’t remember many details of the drive up the Alaska Highway. Now, however, he plans to see that same road from a new perspective. Kostelnick said he began running to lose weight. During his senior year in
college, Kostelnick ran his first marathon, the “Marine Corp Marathon,” during a 2008 internship in Washington D.C. “I never thought I’d run another marathon,” he said. The ironman has since completed over 50 races measuring over marathon distance, or 26.2 miles. Kostelnick said a key turning point in his running career came in 2011, when he began to make the transition to ultra running. A trip to the Grand Canyon provided a pivotal change of heart when he ran from the south rim to the north rim and back in one day, a 47-mile trip, with a few friends.
Since then, he’s taken to the beauty of the countryside, where he has truly flourished. Kostelnick’s planned 5,300-mile route will take him on the Sterling Highway to the Seward Highway, before merging to the Glenn Highway in Anchorage. From there, Kostelnick will roll northward on the Glenn to Tok, where he will begin the long journey on the Alaska Highway, which ends its southern terminus in Dawson Creek in Canada. Kostelnick will then hop onto the highway system through Canada and into the United State via North Dakota. The rest of the route travels di-
agonally through the country and into Florida. Kostelnick said during his coast to coast run in 2016, he had groups of interested runners join him for sections of the journey, as they anticipated his arrival by tracking him via a satellite device he carried with him. It was those runners, in true spirit of the Forrest Gump film, that kept him moving all that way. “I know I’m going to meet some amazing people along the way,” Kostelnick said. “The last time, there were so many kind people, it makes you a lot more optimistic about it.”
Ravens defeat Bears in NFL Hall of Fame game By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer
CANTON, Ohio — The goals were to let the backups play and learn, and to be inspired. Missions accomplished. The Ravens and Bears honored their great linebackers Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher with some defense to make them proud in the Hall of Fame game that opened the NFL’s preseason Thursday night. Baltimore held on 17-16. “Ray is the greatest linebacker of our time,” said 2016 Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson, who quarterbacked the second half for the Ravens. “That was a big thrill and exciting stuff.” Oh, there was a little spark of offense, some provided by Baltimore’s first-round draft pick. Jackson’s 7-yard touchdown pass to fellow first-rounder Hayden Hurst came after the Ravens’ defense recovered a fumble. Chicago put together its best drive in the final minutes and journeyman Tyler Bray connected with Tanner Gentry for a 10-yard score to cap a 92-yard march. But the 2-point conversion pass fell incomplete. Otherwise, D was the letter of the day: there were six turnovers in all, and 12 sacks, eight by the Bears. “To represent Ray in this game to our guys meant even more,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
“It was a special moment for our organization,” noted new Bears coach Matt Nagy. The teams exchanged tipped interceptions on the first two possessions of the preseason. Chicago moved swiftly downfield only to have Chase Daniel’s pass to Josh Bellamy deflected to safety Chuck Clark at the Baltimore 6. He returned it 15 yards, then the Ravens replicated the turnover. Robert Griffin III, attempting a comeback after sitting out 2017, had his pinpoint throw go off the hands of receiver Breshad Perriman, then off rookie cornerback Michael Joseph. DeAndre Houston-Carson dived to make the pick at the Ravens 34. The Bears soon converted when Michael Burton caught a 4-yard scoring pass from Daniel. Baltimore tied it, sparked by two big gainers by undrafted rookie running back Gus Edwards. Griffin found Maxx Williams for a 4-yard score. “It felt great,” Griffin said. “I can’t tell you how grateful I am to play the game again.” Then Lewis’ old unit gave him a thrill. On the next play from scrimmage, linebacker Kamalei Correa sped 19 yards with an interception to the Chicago 9. But Urlacher’s former defense made him smile, sacking Griffin on third down to hold Baltimore to a 31-yard field goal by Kaare Vedvik. Generally, it was a sloppy affair among backups marred by
a slew of dropped passes, poor protection for the quarterbacks, and misthrows by those QBs. But something Lewis and Urlacher would approve, the defenses hit hard and tackled well. NEW COACH, OFFENSE Nagy, of late the offensive coordinator in Kansas City, made his head coaching debut with the Bears. He has said his new offense is in the early steps of development, and it looked that way all night. Of course, with backups playing it’s nearly impossible to gauge progress. But he was optimistic. “The arrow is pointing up for us,” he said. “We definitely took steps in the right direction.” INTROS Each of the seven inductees to the hall who were on hand — Terrell Owens is a well-publicized no-show — received a rousing ovation when they were introduced before the game. Lewis replicated his patented warmup dance for a few seconds, and Urlacher slapped hand with every Bears player lined up on the 45-yard line. “Ray was on the field getting all fired up, doing his thing,” Harbaugh said. “With both teams at the 45, I thought that was awesome, and then to see Ray come out, that was spectacular.” Urlacher gave a pregame pep talk to the Bears in the locker room. “It’s so funny to see,” vet-

eran defensive lineman Akiem Hicks said. “Growing up, you’ve watched these guys, and you’re one of the guys now who people come up and ask for pictures and autographs. Then you see Urlacher come into the locker room and you get to see all these NFL football players turn into kids ... “It’s a phenomenal feeling.” Also walking along midfield between the lines of Ravens and Bears were Randy Moss, Brian Dawkins, Jerry Kramer, Robert
Brazile and Bobby Beathard. Owens did make it onto the cover of the Hall of Fame enshrinement magazine, however. At halftime, Hall of Famers Ozzie Newsome, the general manager of the Ravens, and Dan Fouts received their “Rings of Excellence” from David Baker, the hall’s president. HELMET RULE The first application of the NFL’s enhanced enforcement of penalties for players low-
ering their helmet to make a tackle occurred early. Ravens linebacker Patrick Onwuasor was flagged for his hit on Benny Cunningham, earning a 15yard penalty that helped set up Chicago’s first touchdown. Correa got nailed for the same violation in the third quarter, but he also had a sack that forced a fumble in that period, and three sacks overall. “It was great to see him break out,” Harbaugh said of Correa’s overall performance.
No protests at Hall of Fame game CANTON, Ohio (AP) — There were no demonstrations by any players during the singing of the national anthem Thursday night at the Hall of Fame game. All players and coaches for the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens stood as the NFL’s preseason began. The NFL modified its national anthem protocol in May, prohibiting any sort of demonstrations for 2018, but allowing players to remain in the locker room during “The Star-Spangled Banner” if they chose to. Individual teams would be responsible for disciplining any demonstrators. The players’ union filed a grievance about the policy change, and late last month, the new policy was put on hold while the NFL and NFLPA work on a resolution. Those demonstrations were begun by then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016 when
he kneeled during the anthem to protest racial inequality and social injustice. The kneeling and other displays of protest spread leaguewide, particularly when President Trump suggested team owners fire players who didn’t stand for the anthem. On Thursday night, everyone on the sideline stood. “We as a group talked about it and decided that was what we were doing,” new Bears coach Matt Nagy said. “It’s for unity and togetherness. The guys are really excited to come up with one deal as a team. They were all out there; from what we talked about, it happened.”
Prosise hopes to stay healthy for Hawks RENTON, Wash. (AP) — There’s no questioning C.J. Prosise’s talent, only his ability to remain on the football field. The third-year running back for the Seattle Seahawks
has been plagued by injuries throughout his first two years in the NFL. From serious ailments like a fractured scapula, broken wrist bone and high-ankle sprains to more minor ones like groin, hamstring and hip strains, Prosise has been sidelined constantly. With Chris Carson back from injury himself and Seattle using their first-round pick on San Diego State back Rashaad Penny, there is an urgency for Prosise to be able to stay healthy and contribute regularly this season. Prosise spent the offseason trying to get physically ready to make the most of what could be a final opportunity with Seattle. “I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life,” Prosise said. “I feel like I can do anything on the field. I feel 100 percent and ready to go so I’m excited for this camp. We play a physical game and injuries happen and you can’t avoid it.”

Mom sees danger everywhere as daughter leaves for school DEAR ABBY: I’m the proud mom of a wonderful 21-year-old daughter whom I find myself worrying about more and more lately. She just graduated from our local college and is heading to medical school in another state six hours away. Rationally, I know she’ll be fine and can take care of herself, but I am terrified that something will happen to her and I won’t be there. My husband and daughter keep telling me nothing will happen and I need to calm down. My question is, how do I go about staying calm when there is danger everywhere? She’s our only child. Aren’t my fears justified? Or am I overreacting like they keep telling me? -- WORRIED MOM IN ALABAMA DEAR WORRIED MOM: You are overreacting. Many parents experience the fears you are having to some degree when their child leaves home. For many of them, it happens when the child boards the school bus at the age of 6. For others it happens when their young adult leaves for college. While tragedies do sometimes occur, they can happen when a parent is present as well as when their child is absent. These incidents are magnified when they dominate the news cycle. If you are unable to control your anxiety, a licensed therapist
may be able to help you regain your balance. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Russell,” and I have had a good relationship for five years. He’s black; I’m white. The problem is, on every holiday -- Mother’s Day, Easter, Father’s Day, etc. -Russell and his family go out to dinner and I am not invited. I have a feeling it’s because I’m white. His ex-girlfriend Abigail Van Buren was black and she was always invited to family functions. I love Russell but don’t think our relationship will go anywhere because his family doesn’t approve of me. My family totally accepts him, by the way. What should I do? Should I stay in a relationship where I am shunned? He doesn’t think it’s that big a deal and says I shouldn’t let it bother me, but how can it not? His brother’s girlfriend is invited. She’s black, of course. Help, please. -- EXCLUDED IN DELAWARE DEAR EXCLUDED: You have been seeing Russell for five YEARS? It is a big deal, and you

whelmed. Tonight: Dance the night away! CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You respond to the Moon. Often, others do not understand why your mood changes so radically from one day to the next. You will give another demonstration of your moodiness in the next 24 hours. Be as responsible as you can be in the morning. Tonight: At a favorite place. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to try a different approach with a professional or community matter. Expect to be in the limelight, and accept all the implications of that role. However, you might be a lot happier if you ducked out of this particular situation. Tonight: Listen to what others suggest. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You change your opinion quickly. Don’t be surprised by some of the shocked reactions you seem to be getting. Though you might toy with an idea or solution, you usually stay on course. Unexpected insights nudge you down a new path. Tonight: Follow the music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH One-on-one relating proves to be unusually effective and worthwhile. You might not have seen the possibilities without this conversation happening. Be gracious with someone who is trying to let you know how much he or she appreciates you. Tonight: Dinner for two. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Beam in more of what you want by letting someone close to you know what is on your wish list. At first, you might get a mixed reaction, which will transform over time. Together, you become even stronger

would have to have a hide of Kevlar not to be bothered by it. Have you asked him why you are consistently excluded? Have you asked where he thinks your relationship is going? If not, it’s time you did. Not knowing Russell’s family, I don’t know whether they may have some other objection to you than the fact that you are white. Regretfully, racism exists in every community to some degree. Without more information, I am reluctant to label them. DEAR ABBY: Recently I’ve noticed more people saying “Excuse you” instead of “Excuse me” if someone is in their way. I consider it very rude, since the person being addressed often has no idea he or she is in the way before something is said. What’s an appropriate response when someone says “Excuse you”? -- EXCUSE ME IN THE MIDWEST DEAR EXCUSE ME: This is what I would say: “Excuse me? Excuse YOU! If you need to get by, all you have to do is ask politely.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Hints from Heloise
Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 3, 2018: This year you make headway in whatever area you focus on. You could see some of the fruits of next year as early as Thanksgiving 2018. Know that you are lucky, especially if you tap into others’ ingenuity. If you are single, almost anything can happen with such a diverse field of admirers. You will know when you meet the right person. If you are attached, the two of you will become closer, though you need to work through a lot of differing ideas and thoughts. Know that you will learn from each other. TAURUS often stabilizes you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You will note that others express a snippiness in their conversations. You might choose not to react, but be sure that someone else will. You could have strong feelings about how someone handles him- or herself in a controversial moment. Tonight: Out and about with friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might be rather restrained until the afternoon, when suddenly you feel great and renewed. The Moon highlights you in a positive way. Use your sensual style, and others are likely to say “yes.” Make sure you really want what you ask for. Tonight: In the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Your personality can be inspirational to some, inquisitive to others and full of surprises to the majority of people. A meeting might witness myriad feelings expressed toward you. Under these circumstances, even you could be over-
Crossword
in manifesting this desire. Tonight: Too many choices, so little time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be off-kilter with regard to socializing and networking. By remaining focused on one topic or activity, you will do well. Your evenness will be broken by your impulsiveness when you watch what is happening around you. Tonight: Drop the word “no” from your vocabulary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your earthiness comes through, no matter what others do and despite any unexpected changes. You understand your limits, but you also recognize how seductive you can be. Your even-tempered attitude wins over friends. Tonight: Try being a little naughty for a change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Emphasis is on your domestic and personal life. Do not be surprised if someone acts like a mini volcano and causes some extra excitement on the homefront. You cannot change how this person feels, but you can give honest feedback. Tonight: Home is where your heart is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Say what you are feeling, and expect some feedback that might be harsh. The good news is that you can handle everything that is on your plate. One person in your life creates more than his or her share of uproar. Be thankful for the excitement. Tonight: Visit with friends over dinner. BORN TODAY Football player Tom Brady (1977), singer Tony Bennett (1926), businesswoman Martha Stewart (1941)
LOST KEYS Dear Heloise: My son is 10 years old, but he keeps losing his house key. He gets home about one hour before me, and it bothers me when he has to sit outside in all sorts of weather, waiting for me to arrive. How can I make sure he doesn’t lose his key again? -- Belinda G., Holbrook, Mass. Belinda, try pinning the key inside a pocket, or have a key hidden outside that only the two of you know about. Key safes can be found online or at any store that sells security items. -- Heloise FADING JEANS Dear Heloise: How do I keep my jeans from fading? -- Toni W., Huntington, W.Va. Toni, turn your jeans inside out and wash in the coolest setting on your washing machine. Dry on the lowest heat, and try drycleaning your jeans once every five or six washings to slow down the fading process. -- Heloise KIDS ON A ROAD TRIP Dear Heloise: We travel by car with our son, but the car gets so cluttered with his toys. How can we “corral” his clutter? -- Beth F., Hagerstown, Md. Beth, try hanging a shoe bag over the front seat, with the bag facing toward the back. Then put his toys in the shoe slots and tell him to return them to their place when he’s done playing with them. -- Heloise DIRTY DRESSES Dear Heloise: I carry my dresses on a rod in the backseat of my car when I travel. However, the hems lie on the car floor and get dirty. How do I avoid this? -- Susan J., Rawlins, Wyo. Susan, lay your dresses across the rod just as you do your pants, or put a sheet or cardboard on the floor of the car to protect your hems from getting dirty. With either method, be sure your vision is not obstructed. -- Heloise
