Parnell, Walker joust at forum Audience hears from Myers, Clift

By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

While one candidate reminded voters that they have four options for governor, two opponents spent some time during a Wednesday debate trying to discredit one another.

Independent candidate Bill Walker said in discussing the budget during the race, he has been under attack by Gov. Sean Parnell’s campaign.

“We need to put all the projects on the table, all the issues on the table,” Walker said. “I was recently called out about why would I not make a deci-

sion about the road to Juneau.”

“I’m not sure it’s being under attack when I point out that Bill Walker’s plan for cutting the budget is reducing 16 percent in one year and then asking him for the plan on how that gets allocated,” Parnell said. “That’s what he’s calling an attack.”

Parnell, a Republican, said Walker has said education is on the table for cuts, but has also talked about increasing funding to education.

“You cannot have it both ways,” Parnell said. “You have a governor with a track record of working to spend less.”

Walker said Parnell is mis-

quoting him and that the 16 percent in cuts would be over a period of time, or revenue would need to be increased.

“I didn’t create this mess,” Walker said. “Governor Parnell’s administration created the largest deficit we ever had.

I get criticized because I’m not doing enough to articulate how I’m going to clean up his mess.”

ANCHORAGE (AP) — The 16-year-old foster son of a longtime Anchorage radio host has been charged with his murder.

Peter John Henry has been charged as an adult in the shooting death of Marvell Johnson, 64. Johnson’s body was found in his bedroom, The Alaska Dispatch News reported.

Johnson for nearly 40 years was host of “Soul to Soul,” a music show on a public radio station.

The boy was angered that Johnson had grounded him for using Spice, a synthetic drug, and had taken the charger to his vapor cigarette, police said.

The youth shot Johnson and staged a robbery scene by taking cash and leaving an empty wallet in front of the home, police said. Henry threatened to kill another youth if he didn’t help destroy evidence, police said.

From the Sterling Highway, it is nearly impossible to hear the low hum of the Homer Electric Association’s combustion turbine plant over the steady roar of highway traffic just north of Soldotna.

But, with each step closer to the building that houses the 63,000-horsepower turbine, the noise increases to the point that even shouting become inaudible; the sound of traffic fades and the powerful roar accompanied by a teeth-chattering rumble of the company’s newest power

generation facility becomes unmistakable.

For several hours Wednesday, staff from HEA took community members on tours of its new backup facility.

When the plant was brought online on March 30, it became the latest in a series of backups built into the HEA’s system — designed to fill in when the company’s main generation plant in Nikiski goes down.

Since Jan. 1, 2014 when the company began generating its own power, it has primarily used the Nikiski Combined Cycle Plant — which features steam and natural gas turbines that can produce a total

of 80 megawatts of power at a time — and a percentage of the state’s Bradley Lake Hydroelectric project — a plant whose power generation is shared by six state utilities — to power the Kenai Peninsula.

But, sometimes the company’s primary power sources cannot keep up with the demand.

“We have planned outages and we have unplanned outages,” said HEA Director of Power, Fuels and Dispatch Harvey Ambrose. “Yet you always have to have the lights on. I don’t think the people on the peninsula would be too happy if we said, ‘You know,

we’ve got to take a six-week outage, no electricity for six weeks.’ Our demand is identical whether Nikiski is running or not.”

To deal with the potential disruption in service, HEA uses the Soldotna-based power plant and the Bernice Lake power plant in North Kenai, to contribute megawatts when necessary.

One of the first tours of the morning, led by HEA power plant superintendent Jim Kingrey, included more than a dozen students from Kenai Central High School. While the students wore identical See LIGHT, page A-10

The rise of property crimes in Nikiski has left many residents on edge and more alert about what has taken place in their community the last two months.

Rumors of a man shot in an attempted burglary Tuesday night were false, said Alaska State Trooper Kevin Vik. Troopers responded to a report of gunshots fired outside a residence on Miller Loop Tuesday.

But, rather than the reports of a violent crime which circulated on social media, the incident was an unsuccessful suicide attempt, said trooper spokesperson Megan Peters.

Since mid-September, law enforcement agencies have arrested 13 people in connection to theft and drug charges. From Nikiski to Kasilof combined efforts from troopers, Kenai Police and Soldotna Police have led to the recovery of five stolen vehicles, four truckloads of stolen property and three vehicles impounded pending search warrants, according to a trooper dispatch.

“We have sent a lot of people to Wildwood lately,” said Soldotna Trooper Sgt. James Truesdell. “We can’t promise how long they will be there.”

At a Nikiski Community Council meeting Monday, a committee of 13 community members was formed to discuss ways to address the recent See NIKISKI, page A-10

School district seeks public input on budget

By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

It’s time to consider costs and cuts.

Parents, staff, members of the community and elected officials are invited to attend a Kenai Peninsula Borough School District budget meeting, which will be held via online video conferencing at 6 p.m. today at multiple schools across the district. It is the first step in the process of developing the fiscal

year 2016 budget.

“What we’re trying to do is get the public and our parents engaged in the budget process and informed and give then the opportunity to have input into what they would like to see happen in our district,” said Assistant Superintendent Dave Jones.

The district again expects to face a deficit, but Jones said the administration is unsure how large the deficit will be.

By changing the pupil-teach-

er ratio to cut staff and using health care fund balance, the administration reduced an $8.2 million deficit to a $4.5 million deficit in the FY15 budget.

Jones said without any additional revenue, staff cuts could be considered again.

The budget called for the closure of a pool due to the Soldotna schools reconfiguration, which transformed Skyview High School to Skyview Middle School. However, after hearing much public interest in C

keeping the pool open, funding was reinstated for the year. The district is evaluating pool use to determine the future of the facility.

“Part of what we’re hoping people recognize out there is that additions in one area will mean reductions in another,” he said.

While the passage of House Bill 278 by lawmakers in the last legislative session and additional funding from the borough assembly helped to close

the $4.5 million gap for the FY15 budget, it didn’t close it all the way. The district still had some money from the district’s fund balance.

Jones said the district has been using fund balance money for the past few years, but he doesn’t have the final figures for how much fund balance remains in the district’s account.

He said the amount will be available soon.

Bethel homeless shelter won’t open until December BETHEL (AP) — A winter homeless shelter in Bethel is not scheduled to open until later this year, despite rapidly dropping temperatures in the region.

The Bethel Winter House is set to open Dec. 1. Winter House Board secretary Ross Boring said shelter organizers are overwhelmed by the work involved in running a shelter.

He also said it’s been hard to find volunteers to work overnight, KYUK reported.

“Last year we were very worn out at the end of the three months and all this depends on us,” Boring said. “If we don’t have volunteers one night we’ll have to turn guests away and

won’t be able to run the shelter.”

That’s something shelter operators hope to never see. They have applied for grants that would allow them to hire someone to run the shelter.

The emergency shelter concept is new in Bethel, where the Winter House made its debut last December, following exposure deaths the winter before.

The shelter was relocated from church to church last winter. Organizers would like to eventually find a more permanent location for a shelter.

Organizers started the shelter after forming a Lions Club.

warm, according to Rick Robb, who worked with shelter founders.

“People tend to float from house to house sleeping on floors and couches,” Robb said.

“A lot of people stay in abandoned buildings, and that’s

proved a problem with some crime and we’ve even had some deaths in the past.”

According to a point-in-time survey of Bethel’s homeless population in January 2013, Bethel had about 100 homeless, including 36 children.

What Others Say

Military must do more on assaults The study was done in Los Angeles,

but there is no reason to believe that its findings aren’t applicable elsewhere — including Texas.

It pointed to transition problems for returning veterans ranging from joblessness to homelessness to untreated physical and mental illnesses. But it also pointed to just how far the military must still go to address sexual abuse in the ranks.

The study was done by the University of Southern California. An Express-News article by Sig Christenson told of its contents.

Every problem identified in the study warrants attention. Recommendations range from better awareness and outreach programs to veterans programs becoming more holistic in their approach.

But here is one of the more salient shockers in a study chock-full of eyebrow raisers: “Two-thirds of female pre-9/11 veterans (66.2 percent) and 60.4 percent of female post-9/11 veterans reported being sexually harassed while serving in the military,” according to the study. “Reports of sexual assault for female veterans were equally high, with 56.9 percent of pre-9/11 veterans and 37.8 percent of post9/11 veterans reporting being sexually assaulted.”

The study takes solace in the lower rate for women in the post-9/11 category, saying it might indicate progress in preventing sexual assaults in the military.

But one pertinent question: How many assaults were even reported? A confidential Pentagon study in 2012 placed the number of military sexual assaults at 26,000, with 3,374 reported.

This study should be required reading for veterans support groups but also, especially when it comes to sexual assaults, for military leadership and members of Congress.

Ben Affleck’s Muslim problem

The latest episode of Bill Maher’s HBO show “Real Time” performed what was, in effect, an in-studio social experiment.

It sought to establish, in a controlled setting, the answer to this pressing question: How long could Maher and atheist author Sam Harris talk frankly about the illiberalism of much of the Muslim world before actor and director Ben Affleck, also a guest on the show, accused them of racism?

The result is in: Not very.

In fact, almost as soon as Maher and Harris began to discuss how liberals are betraying their own convictions if they don’t stand up against social backwardness in the Muslim world, Affleck grew visibly agitated. He could barely contain himself when Harris opined, “We have been sold this meme of Islamophobia, where every criticism of the doctrine of Islam gets conflated with bigotry toward Muslims as people.”

That’s when Affleck interrupted, and soon enough, he was calling Maher and Harris out for their grossness, ugliness and, yes, racism. How does it feel, guys?

You might be wondering, “Why should I care what the new Batman thinks?” The heated exchange was so notable because all three are men of the left in good standing.

As a walking embodiment of liberal piety, Affleck is emblematic of liberalism’s seeno-evil discomfort with frank truths about the Muslim world.

The prelude to the intraliberal fight was the prior week’s show, when Maher pointed out the absurdity of liberals getting ex-

ercised over, say, actor Jonah Hill using an anti-gay vulgarism, but ignoring that gays can be stoned in Muslim countries.

“To count yourself as a liberal,” Maher declared, “you have to stand up for liberal Rich Lowry principles” — meaning across the board.

Maher had zeroed in on one of the more perverse aspects of contemporary politics, which is that self-consciously tolerant liberals often look the other way when confronted with the intolerance of the Muslim world.

For them, saying discouraging things about Islam feels too judgmental. It requires insisting on the superiority of certain Western standards. It means jettisoning the comforting fictions of multiculturalism. It entails resisting the reflex to consider any criticism of the Third World as presumptive racism.

As militant atheists, Maher and Harris feel free of these constraints; criticizing religion is part of what they do for a living. As a garden-variety liberal, Affleck is subject to all of them and reacted as if two Klansman had wandered onto the set with him.

When Maher and Harris pointed out how widespread retrograde attitudes are in the Muslim world, Affleck said they were “stereotyping.” But the data doesn’t

stereotype. Especially in less-developed countries, it is appalling.

The percentage of Muslims in Middle Eastern and South Asia countries who say honor killings are never justified is shockingly low (31 percent in Egypt, 45 percent in Pakistan). Support for the stoning of adulterers is more than 40 percent in Bangladesh and 80 percent in Afghanistan. The death penalty for leaving Islam is almost, although not quite, as popular as stoning.

Affleck simply couldn’t handle the truth.

He kept on insisting it is just a few bad apples who think this way. At one point, he tried to wave Maher and Harris off with a condemnation of the Iraq War, positing an implicit moral equivalence between an overly idealistic war of liberation and the stoning of apostates.

Affleck obviously isn’t a public official or a public intellectual. But he represents a dominant tendency within liberalism.

Imagine a State Department staffed by less-glamorous Ben Afflecks. Imagine a president of the United States who shares his instincts. This is the Obama administration. It’s why, in part, it has always been so reluctant to speak of Islamic terrorism and extremism. It’s why the president says the Islamic state is not Islamic.

The nation is truly in peril if Bill Maher, of all people, is more cleareyed than those running our government.

NEW YORK — Most NFL fans believe — Judge Stephen Reinhardt, arguing that neither Idaho nor Nevada offered any legitimate reasons Commissioner Roger Goodell should keep to discriminate against gay couples. his job after his handling of recent domestic violence cases, according to a new Associated Press-GfK Poll.

Only 32 percent say Goodell should lose his job over the issue, with 66 percent saying he shouldn’t.

By GARRY TRUDEAU Support for his handling of the cases is much lower, though, with 42 percent saying they disapprove. The same percentage neither approve nor disapprove, with just 15 percent approving.

Goodell initially suspended Ray Rice for two games after the Baltimore Ravens running back was charged with assaulting his then-fiancee. The commissioner defended the punishment at first, before admitting more than a month later that he “didn’t get it right.”

When a video of the assault later surfaced, Goodell suspended Rice indefinitely, saying the images constituted new evidence. Rice was released earlier that day by the Ravens.

The poll shows strong support for keeping Rice off the field for at least some period of time. Forty-three percent of fans say Rice should never be allowed to play again. Just 7 percent say he should be able to play now, with 49 percent saying he should be permitted to return after missing more time.

Opinions differed by gender and race.

Slightly more than half of women say Rice should never be allowed to play again, compared with 37 percent of men. Just 19 percent of black fans say he should receive a permanent ban, while 46 percent of white fans support that.

Hacking a big danger for small businesses

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — It’s not just big businesses like JPMorgan Chase, Target and Home Depot that get hacked. Small companies suffer from intrusions into their computer systems, too.

The costs associated with computer and website attacks can run well into the thousands and even millions of dollars for a small company. Many small businesses have been attacked — 44 percent, according to a 2013 survey by the National Small Business Association, an advocacy group. Those companies had costs averaging $8,700.

JPMorgan Chase said the attack on its computer servers this summer compromised customer information from about 76 million households and 7 million small businesses. Target Corp., Michaels Stores Inc. and Neiman Marcus have also reported breaches of their computer systems in the past year, as did Home Depot Inc., whose customers include small contracting companies.

Typically, businesses must have a computer expert find the source of the attack and systems have to be purged of harmful software like viruses.

When websites are shut down revenue can be lost.

Making matters worse, if customer data was breached, companies often must pay to notify each person or business affected. In some states, they’re encouraged to pay for credit report monitoring for customers, says Matt Donovan, head

of technology insurance underwriting for the insurer Hiscox USA. In almost every state, companies must notify people when information has been breached, says Samuel Cornish, a commercial law attorney with Genova Burns Giantomasi Webster in Newark, New Jersey. Companies can also be liable for damages in lawsuits brought by customers, he says.

Small businesses are particularly vulnerable to attacks because many owners believe they don’t have the time and money to invest in software programs or consulting services to make systems more secure.

Many businesses are ignorant of risks they face or possible solutions, says Jeff Foresman, a consultant with Rook Security, an Indianapolis-based computer security company.

They may not realize an attack can happen from a seemingly harmless source. For example, a perfectly normal-looking email from a friend’s computer that was attacked without the owner’s knowledge could lead to trouble.

“They don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t understand the sophistication of these attacks,” Foresman says.

Berkeley Varitronic Systems’ bank account was hacked earlier this year and $50,000 was taken, CEO Scott Schober says. He got the money back, but considers the incident a lesson. He had already invested $50,000 in security for his own systems and plans to add another $20,000.

Schober believes his

Metuchen, New Jersey-based company was attacked via its bank because its business is computer security.

“We are a target. Thieves like to send that message,” he says.

No system is hacker-proof, but there steps, some of them inexpensive, businesses can take to shore up defenses and mitigate damage from attacks that get through: — Hire computer security consultants to evaluate computers and websites and suggest ways to protect them.

— Buy insurance to cover financial losses. Premiums can be as low as $1,000 a year for $1 million in coverage.

— Install free antivirus and anti-malware software available online. Also add firewalls, which block attempts to access, says Joe Caruso, CEO of Global Digital Forensics, a computer security company based in New York.

— Make sure email is secure by using an email provider that has proper security systems, Caruso says.

—Avoid having customers’ credit card information stolen by using a separate company to process orders. The company should guarantee that its systems are secure.

— Use a service that helps weed out fraudulent credit card transactions, says Jason Opdyke, director of online commerce for Berkeley, Californiabased BearExtender, which sells Wi-Fi equipment. It uses such a service to try to avoid becoming a victim of attempted fraud.

Sen. Wyden: NSA tech spying hurts economy customers are worried their data will be more vulnerable to U.S. government snooping, PALO ALTO, Calif. — although he declined to give Google Chairman Eric Schmidt specific examples. and other Silicon Valley executives say controversial government spying programs are undercutting the Internet economy and want Congress to step up stalled reform.

“We’re going to end up breaking the Internet,” warned Google Inc.’s Schmidt during a public forum Wednesday convened by U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who has been an outspoken critic of electronic data-gathering by the National Security Agency. Schmidt and executives from Facebook Inc, Microsoft Corp. and other firms say revelations of extensive NSA surveillance are prompting governments in Europe and elsewhere to consider laws requiring that their citizens’ online data be stored within their national borders.

Rules like that would drive up costs and create technical obstacles to the way the Internet currently operates, making it “profoundly difficult in terms of our ability to deliver services,” said Facebook general counsel Colin Stretch. Brad Smith, general counsel for Microsoft, said some European

Nation & World

Around the World Ebola patient dies in Dallas; US announces closer screening of Africa travelers WASHINGTON — The first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. died Wednesday despite intense but delayed treatment, and the government announced it was expanding airport examinations to guard against the spread of the deadly disease.

The new checks will include taking the temperatures of hundreds of travelers arriving from West Africa at five major American airports.

The new screenings will begin Saturday at New York’s JFK International Airport and then expand to Washington Dulles and the international airports in Atlanta, Chicago and Newark. An estimated 150 people per day will be checked, using high-tech thermometers that don’t touch the skin.

The White House said the checks would reach more than 9 of 10 travelers to the U.S. from the three heaviest-hit countries — Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

President Barack Obama called the measures “really just belt and suspenders” to support protections already in place.

Border Patrol agents now look for people who are obviously ill, as do flight crews, and in those cases the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is notified.

Supreme Court justice allows gay marriage to begin in Nevada, but not Idaho WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy on Wednesday allowed same-sex marriage to begin in Nevada, clarifying that an earlier order temporarily blocking gay unions applies only to Idaho.

Kennedy said in a brief order that he was lifting the hold he imposed five hours earlier Wednesday on same-sex weddings in Nevada. He said his order would continue to block gay marriage in Idaho, where state officials have asked for the delay. Nevada officials did not make a similar request.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco declared gay marriage legal in Idaho and Nevada on Tuesday. A day earlier, the Supreme Court let similar rulings from three other appeals courts become final and effectively raised to 30 the number of states where same-sex couples can marry, or soon will be able to do so.

In response to the 9th Circuit decision, Idaho officials filed an emergency request with the court about 90 minutes before they said that state and county officials would otherwise have been required to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Kennedy’s initial order was issued around 9:50 a.m. EDT, 10 minutes before the deadline cited by Idaho officials. The order initially included Nevada, where officials had been planning to start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples later Wednesday.

Closer look at living cells: 3 win Nobel in chemistry for super-zoom microscopes STOCKHOLM — Three researchers won a Nobel Prize on Wednesday for giving microscopes much sharper vision than was thought possible, letting scientists peer into living cells with unprecedented detail to seek the roots of disease.

The chemistry prize was awarded to U.S. researchers Eric Betzig and William Moerner and German scientist Stefan Hell. They found ways to use molecules that glow on demand to overcome what was considered a fundamental limitation for optical microscopes.

Betzig, 54, works at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Ashburn, Virginia. Hell, 51, is director of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Goettingen, Germany, and also works at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. Moerner, 61, is a professor at Stanford University in California.

Their work, done independently and extending back to the 1980s, led to two techniques that were first demonstrated in 2000 and 2006.

Obama says he’s confident US will keep making progress against Islamic State WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama told top military commanders Wednesday that he’s confident the U.S. will keep making progress in its fight against the Islamic State group, as the reality set in of a protracted military engagement with limited prospects for success.

Flanked by the top military brass at the Pentagon, Obama said he was heartened to see that a broad international consensus had emerged that the extremist group that now controls much of Iraq and Syria poses a threat to world peace.

He said nations across the globe have come to the conclusion that the group’s “barbaric behavior has to be dealt with.”

“This is not something that can be solved overnight,” Obama said. “Our strikes continue, alongside our partners.”

Lady wants death with dignity Woman with cancer plans to take her life in Oregon

By STEVEN DUBOIS Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — Brittany Maynard will not live to see if her advocacy makes a difference.

The 29-year-old woman expects to die no later than Nov. 1.

If the brain cancer from which she suffers does not kill her in October, she plans to take advantage of Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act and end her own life on the first of November — a few days after her husband’s 30th birthday.

Maynard and her husband, Dan Diaz, uprooted from Northern California and moved north because Oregon allows terminally ill patients to end their lives with lethal medications prescribed by a doctor.

Rather than silently await death in Portland, she has become an advocate for the group Compassion & Choices, which seeks to expand deathwith-dignity laws beyond Oregon and a handful of other states.

A nationwide media campaign featuring Maynard’s story began Monday, and has gone viral.

“I can’t even tell you the

amount of relief that it provides me to know that I don’t have to die the way that it’s been described to me, that my brain tumor would take me on its own,” she says in an online video.

Oregon in 1997 became the first state to make it legal for a doctor to prescribe a life-ending drug to a terminally ill patient of sound mind who makes the request. The patient must swal-

low the drug without help; it is illegal for a doctor to administer it.

More than 750 people in Oregon used the law to die as of Dec. 31, 2013. The median age of the deceased is 71. Only six were younger than 34, like Maynard.

The state does not track how many terminally ill people move to Oregon to die. One

of the “frequently asked questions” on the state Public Health Division website is: “How long does someone have to be a resident of Oregon to participate in the act?”

There is no minimum residency requirement, but a patient must prove to a doctor they are living in the state. Some examples of documentation include a rental agreement, an Oregon voter registration card or a state driver’s license.

Maynard said she and her husband were newlyweds actively trying for a family when she learned on New Year’s Day that she had brain cancer. By spring, she was given just six months to live.

“I hope to enjoy however many days I have on this beautiful earth and spend as much of it outside as I can surrounded by those I love,” Maynard said in the video.

Barbara Coombs Lee, the author of Oregon’s law and the president of Compassion & Choices, said Maynard approached the group in August.

“Our campaign now is to build public awareness, build public support so great that the politicians can no longer deny it,” she said.

US, allies chafing at Turkish inaction on Syria

By DESMOND BUTLER Associated Press

ISTANBUL — As U.S. generals and Secretary of State John Kerry warn that a strategic Syrian border town could fall to Islamic State militants, the Turkish military has deployed its tanks on its side of the frontier but only watched the slaughter.

Turkey’s inaction despite its supposed participation in a coalition forged to crush the extremist group is frustrating Washington and its NATO allies, and reviving a rebellion by Turkish Kurds.

Amid fears the Kurdish town of Kobani could fall any day, U.S. and NATO officials are traveling to Turkey on Thursday to press negotiations for more robust Turkish involvement in the coalition.

But Turkey is taking a hard line, insisting that it will only consider involvement in military action as part of a broader strategy for ending the rule of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The U.S. and its allies want to keep the focus on the Islamic State group, which they say poses a more global threat.

Emphasizing the U.S. position, Kerry said Wednesday that although the Obama administration is “deeply concerned about the people of Kobani,” preventing the town’s fall to Islamic State militants was not a strategic objective for the U.S. “As horrific as it is to watch in real time what’s happening in Kobani, it’s also important to remember, you have to step back and understand the stra-

tegic objective,” Kerry told a news conference in Washington.

Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, also conceded Kobani could fall because “air power alone is not going to be enough to save that city.”

“We all need to prepare ourselves for the reality that other towns and villages — and perhaps Kobani — will be taken

by ISIL,” Kirby said, adding that the key to eventually defeating the militants is to train and enable indigenous ground forces.

Turkey is ambivalent about the fight across its border, because of its distrust of the Kurdish fighters protecting Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab.

It views them as an extension of the Kurdish PKK, the rebel group that has waged a long and bloody insurgency against Ankara. In recent days, Turkish officials have emphasized that they view both the Islamic State group and the PKK as terrorist groups.

Left unsaid is which group they view as the greater threat.

But, Turkey’s strict neutrality as the lightly-armed Kurds face annihilation speaks volumes.

While Turkey maintains it does not want Kobani to fall, Turkish officials say they will not enter combat until they are assured that the U.S.-led coalition has a long-term strategy in Syria. They see Assad as a greater nemesis on their border than even the Islamic State.

Taking out the militants without a plan to fill the inevitable vacuum, they say, will lead to

further chaos that will only strengthen Assad. They want the U.S. to set up a no-fly zone and a humanitarian corridor, as well as ramp up assistance to Syrian rebels battling to overthrow Assad.

With its ambitious demands, Turkey may be betting that its geography makes it an indispensable partner and that it can leverage that position to force the U.S. and its allies to expand the coalition mission — an assumption that is causing frustration in Washington and

strains within NATO, a senior U.S. administration official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record.

On Thursday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, as well as President Barack Obama’s two envoys to the anti-Islamic State coalition, retired Gen. John Allen and Ambassador Brett McGurk, arrive for talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to push for greater Turkish action.

Recent issues take hold in NFL meetings BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — NFL owners spent five hours discussing the league’s personal conduct policy, domestic violence and discipline for misbehavior during their fall meetings Wednesday.

No, there wasn’t much football talk.

“We had a tremendous focus today on our approach to social responsibility,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “What we need to do, potential changes, how to make them more effective, make decisions on a more timely basis.”

After approving the sale of the Buffalo Bills to Terry and Kim Pegula in

the morning, the owners listened to a presentation on domestic violence that included a video by a former player appealing for recognition and action.

In the powerful video, Joe Ehrmann, a defensive tackle for 10 pro seasons (1973-82), beseeches viewers to imagine what it would be like to see a loved one being subjected to abuse.

He then urges intervention to curb such behavior.

“Think about the role you have to raise up a generation of men that are going to have the clarity, have the moral courage to call out other men,” Ehrmann says.

The video was part of a 40-minute presentation put together by the league with the help of a group of outside advisers. The goal is to educate everyone

in the NFL about the dangers of spousal abuse, child abuse, sexual assault and other domestic violence topics.

“It was very thorough, it was good,” Steelers President Art Rooney said.

There have been plenty of mistakes made recently by the league, most notably the Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson abuse cases. In the midst of a maelstrom over how the league has handled those and other incidents, asked for a re-examination of the policy.

Among the topics discussed was Goodell’s role in handing out discipline, and he reiterated that all options “are on the table.” He said the league has been discussing those options for more than a year, “debating whether there’s a better process, more efficient, fair.”

“Something that will allow us to deal with this complexity in a way we as a league will be satisfied, players will be satisfied.”

Goodell added that “when something affects the integrity of the game, I believe (the owners) think this commissioner should have the authority.”

Rice has appealed his indefinite suspension, handed out after a video of the former Ravens running back was released publicly showing him punching his then-fiancee in a casino elevator. He originally was handed a two-game suspension, something Goodell later admitted was the wrong punishment. Goodell increased punishments under the personal conduct policy in late August, before the video was released and Rice was cut by Bal-

timore.

Unlike Rice, Vikings star running back Peterson, Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy and Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer wound up on an exempt list while the legal process plays out in their abuse cases. Goodell was asked if that list will continue to be used for future cases, or whether the NFL might hand out punishment even before due process in the courts has been completed.

He said the owners talked about “If there are findings of reasonable facts that there’s been a violation (of the conduct policy), should there be some interim step?”

“We take these incidents very seriously,” Goodell added. “They are unacceptable ... illegal.”

CONROE, Texas (AP) — A Texas judge has tentatively set a Dec. 1 trial date for Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson on a charge of felony child abuse for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-yearold son.

Judge Kelly Case set the date Wednesday as Peterson made his first court appearance in suburban Houston for the incident that occurred earlier this year. Peterson did not enter a plea, though his attorney said he will eventually plead not guilty to the charge that carries a penalty of up to two years in prison.

Peterson is on paid leave.

The Vikings’ final game of the season is Dec. 28.

Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon indicated he intends to file a motion to recuse the judge after Case allegedly called attorneys in the case “media whores.” Case apologized, but a Nov. 4 hearing was scheduled on whether to assign a new judge.

Defense attorney Rusty Hardin says he wants to try the case as quickly as possible to get Peterson back to playing.

Judge will decide on Goodell testimony NEW YORK (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday night it’s up to a neutral arbiter to decide whether he should testify during an appeal of Ray Rice’s indefinite suspension.

“I don’t think that’s my decision,” Goodell said, saying the decision would instead be made by a former federal judge picked by the commissioner and the players’ union to lead the arbitration.

“I think Judge Jones is the one who ultimately is going to make the rules and determinations,” Goodell said. “I’ve been in meetings all day. That isn’t something that I’ve addressed.”

The union is appealing Ray Rice’s suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct

policy. The former Baltimore Ravens running back was suspended after video of him hitting his then-fiancee in an elevator was publicly released.

Union officials said in announcing the appeal that Goodell and his staff’s testimony is a central reason why it pushed to jointly select an outside arbiter.

“The commissioner and his staff will be essential witnesses in the proceeding and thus cannot serve as impartial arbitrators,” the NFL Players Association said in a statement.

The appeal will be heard by former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones. Jones is a partner in a private law firm and is also a former Department of Justice attorney.

Green injured CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals receiver A.J. Green left practice during warmups on Wednesday after aggravating his injured right big toe.

Green has been bothered by the injury since the season opener. He missed most of a game against Atlanta the following week, but has played in the last two. He had five catches for a team-high 81 yards and a touchdown during a 43-17 loss at New England on Sunday night.

Green was going through warmup drills at the start of practice when he stopped, removed his right shoe and threw it to the ground angrily. He put the shoe back on and limped slightly as he walked to a cart and left practice.

Coach Marvin Lewis confirmed it was the same injury that has bothered him the last few weeks. He said the foot was being examined, but he had no further information.

The offense has been diminished the last few weeks because of injuries. Tight end Tyler Eifert is out until at least midseason with an elbow injury. Receiver Marvin Jones broke a bone in his left foot during training camp and had a screw inserted. He rejoined practice last week but injured an ankle and didn’t practice on Wednesday.

Puck drops on NHL season Bruins, Habs, Canucks and Sharks pick up opening-day wins The Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) — Chris Kelly scored the tiebreaking goal with 1:51 left in the third period, and Tuukka Rask made 21 saves to lead the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in their season opener Wednesday night.

Reilly Smith also scored for Boston, which finished with the best record in the NHL last season but couldn’t get past the second round of the playoffs.

Sean Couturier scored for Philadelphia, and Steve Mason stopped 31 shots.

It was 1-all when Mason deflected Adam McQuaid’s slap shot from the blue line into the air. The puck came down in the crease, and Kelly swiped it in.

SHARKS 4, KINGS 0 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tommy Wingels scored two goals, Antti Niemi made 34 saves in his 28th career shutout, and San Jose crashed the Stanley Cup banner celebration in Los Angeles.

The Kings raised their championship banner to the Staples Center rafters in a pregame ceremony commemorating their 26-game playoff run to their second title in three years. Los Angeles started that charge by rallying from a 3-0 series deficit in the first round against the Sharks, who exacted a bit of belated revenge.

Patrick Marleau had a goal and an assist. Wingels and Matt Nieto scored 14 seconds apart in a three-goal second period that sent the Sharks to their NHL-best fifth straight season-opening victory.

Plekanec scored his second goal of the game after Morgan Rielly tied it for Toronto with 2:19 to play.

P.K. Subban and Max Pacioretty also scored for Montreal, and Carey Price made 24 saves.

Nazem Kadri and Tyler Bozak added goals for Toronto, and Jonathan Bernier stopped 28 shots.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Ryan Miller made 23 saves in his Vancouver debut, and the Canucks beat Calgary to give new coach Willie Desjardins a victory in his first game at the helm.

Zack Kassian scored for Vancouver to snap a 1-all tie early in the second period, and Radim Vrbata made it a two-goal cushion at 11:07. Vrbata’s goal was initially waived off for a high stick, but the call was changed following a replay review.

Alex Burrows also scored and captain Henrik Sedin added an empty-net goal for the Canucks, who extended their winning streak against Calgary to eight games in a row.

Paul Byron and Jiri Hudler had the goals for the Flames.

The evolution of celebrating home runs quickly changing HOWARD FENDRICH AP Sports Writer

Used to be that a major leaguer would homer and be greeted in the dugout with high-fives and handshakes. Seems so quaint nowadays, doesn’t it?

When guys go yard in the modern MLB, taters are toasted with charisma and, in some cases, choreography.

The Dodgers set off a bubble machine in their dugout, even on the road. The Nationals shoot the dingerdeliverer’s helmet, basketball-style.

Soon as a ball clears a wall, the Cardinals stand shoulder-to-shoulder to form a very orderly receiving line, welcoming the slugger with low-fives and slaps on the head.

Even the Royals, a team with a baseball-low 95 round-trippers during the regular season, have been getting in on the act during the playoffs. They head into Friday’s Game 1 of the AL Championship Series against the homer-happy Orioles on a wave of wildly spontaneous celebrations filled with chest bumps and hearty hugs.

“Everybody’s got something,” Na-

tionals manager Matt Williams said.

“It’s good team camaraderie.”

As a former player — he was a five-time All-Star who hit 378 homers from 1987-2003 — Williams remembers a simpler time of more muted responses.

“Shake somebody’s hand,” he said.

“That was about it.”

Not lately.

Williams’ NL East champions, eliminated by the Giants on Tuesday night in Game 4 of their NL Division Series, devised a routine that borrows from another sport. One player — usually shortstop Ian Desmond, unless he’s on-deck or the one who swatted the homer — grabs the red helmet as the batter returns to the dugout. It’ll be passed to another player, who tosses — or dunks — it through a circle formed by someone else’s arms.

“We always designate a young guy to be the ‘hoop,’” Nationals reserve Kevin Frandsen explained, “so they get hit.”

Desmond got the helmet-lifting from former teammate Chad Tracy and the rest evolved.

“We had room in a couple of dug-

outs, and we were tired of people just waiting around for each other after a homer,” Frandsen said. “We wanted to create something.”

The Dodgers’ blue-and-white machine sat on a shelf in the dugout near where bats are kept and was switched on briefly to produce soapy spheres while players jumped up and down in a small circle, a scene straight out of a 4-year-old’s birthday party. L.A. was asked to temporarily stop using it late in the season so Major League Baseball could ask other clubs whether the contraption bothered them.

Apparently not, because the Dodgers made their bubbles in the playoffs before getting knocked out by the Cardinals in Game 4 of their NLDS on Tuesday.

“We don’t have a bubble machine.

If we did, we might use it,” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said with a smile. “(With) so much time being pretty guarded and everything close to the vest, it’s fun to watch guys show some emotion,” Matheny said. “It’s great for the fans to see that these guys are people, too, instead of just machines C

M

Y

K

that completely block off emotions and fun. Especially this time of year.”

If some regard it all as harmless hijinks, there are others who simply do not care for such displays.

“I felt it was counterproductive to show up a pitcher or bring extra attention to a small accomplishment like a home run,” Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, who homered 548 times for the Phillies from 1972-89, wrote in an email.

“Back then, excessive celebration got a teammate a fastball in the neck.

Pitchers wouldn’t put up with it. Now the dugout is a reality show,” Schmidt wrote. “Coming up with the newest celebration gimmick is more important than the game. They need to put out a fans’ guide to hand gestures and sign language so we know what it all means.”

Washington’s Frandsen knows over-the-top self-congratulations can be taken the wrong way.

But he figures it’s OK if done in the proper place.

“Ultimately, you never want to show someone up on the field. But ... it’s never pointed at the pitcher or the opposing team,” Frandsen said.

“Sometimes, when people do stuff on the field, maybe it goes too far. I don’t know. I’m not the ‘fun police’ out there. But in the dugout, I feel like that’s a good spot to do it.”

Bonds set for surgery

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Home run king Barry Bonds has posted on Twitter that he needed surgery on his left hip.

The 50-year-old Bonds tweeted a smiling photo Wednesday of himself in a hospital gown announcing the operation on his hip, adding: “I appreciate you all for your prayers. Go Giants.” San Francisco has reached the NL Championship Series for the third time in five years.

The seven-time NL MVP has become an avid cyclist since his baseball career ended after the 2007 season, when he broke Hank Aaron’s home run record of 755 and wound up with 762 over 22 major league seasons.

Hudson hoping to add spark to 16-year career JANIE McCAULEY AP Baseball Writer

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Even in his late 30s and a year removed from a devastating ankle injury that cut short his 2013 season in Atlanta, Tim Hudson pictured himself pitching at a high level again.

That’s the very reason he took the leap to move back cross country and join the San Francisco Giants, leaving his Georgia roots last fall and returning to his Bay Area baseball beginnings.

Now, the veteran right-hander is headed to the NL Championship Series in the deepest playoff run of his 16 major league seasons. San Francisco makes its third NLCS appearance in five years when it opens Saturday at St. Louis, playing its fourth in a row.

Hudson is likely to pitch Game 3 of the best-of-seven series next Tuesday at AT&T Park.

“I’m toward the end of my career here and it’s the first time I’ve been past the first round,” Hudson said Wednesday. “I don’t think there’s going to be anybody on the field that’s going to be more emotionally involved than I am for the next series, or two series.”

Ryan Vogelsong wanted to pitch Hudson into the next round. Tim Lincecum enjoyed the Division Series celebration that much more knowing what it meant to the guy who shares his first name. Manager Bruce Bochy got a thrill watching Hudson add another accomplishment.

“If you’re not walking in his shoes, to take the magnitude of how many years he’s played in this league and to have never been to this point, I can’t really describe it for him,” right fielder Hunter Pence said. “If I think in my imagination, I think of 17 years, think of where you were 17 years ago, imagine reaching a milestone you’ve never reached before. I think any player will say there’s no accomplishment greater than what you do as a team in the postseason.”

Pitching deep into October with a regular contender is something Hudson mentioned right away when he finalized his $23 million, two-year contract last November.

The Giants needed Hudson to fill a hole with an experienced starter. Hudson needed the Giants to join a winner as he worked himself back.

“It’s equally as gratifying to be part of this as it is to watch a guy get further into the playoffs, just because he’s so excited he acts like a kid at times,” Lincecum said. “You just see how much it means to them and it resonates with you a little bit more, because you’re not just playing for yourself. You want

to win and get further for other guys.”

Hudson was 8-7 with a 3.97 ERA in 21 starts for the Braves before getting hurt and undergoing surgery for a broken right ankle. Hudson’s season ended on July 24, 2013, in New York when the Mets’ Eric Young Jr. inadvertently stepped on the back of his lower right leg while Hudson covered first base.

“Coming back from that injury was a tough deal. I’m glad I’m on a winner,” Hudson said.

“It would have been tough if I had wanted to extend my career after that injury and I’m making plans for vacation in July or August.”

His two daughters were born in the Bay Area, where Hudson began his career with the Oakland Athletics in 1999 and won a career-best 20 games the following year.

It sure helped San Francisco had captured two of the previous three World Series titles, in 2010 and ‘12.

This time, the Giants got past the 96-win Nationals, who had the best record in the National League before San Francisco won the best-of-five series in four games.

While the 39-year-old Hudson posted his first losing record this year at 9-13, he became an All-Star for the fourth time and returned from the injury to make 31 starts over 189 1-3 innings.

“It means the world when you watch Tim Hudson, 15, 16 years in who has never advanced past the first round, and you realize how precious these opportunities are,” Jake Peavy said.

Hudson bonded with fellow Southern boy Madison Bumgarner, the 18-game winner likely to get the ball for Saturday’s opener.

And so many others have fed off his energy and wit.

“Even though I battled some injuries throughout my career, I’ve never doubted my competitive fire. I’ve always wanted to go out and compete and win,” Hudson said. That’s why I still play. That’s why I came here.

God works in crazy ways, and this could be something special for us.”

Beckett retires LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodgers pitcher Josh Beckett, facing surgery for a torn labrum in his left hip that caused him to miss most of the last three months of the season, has retired at 34, ending a 14-year career that included two World Series championships.

He threw a no-hitter in May, but landed on the disabled list for the third time in early August with a left hip impingement after being on the DL in July for the same injury. He was 6-6 with a 2.88 ERA in 20 starts, including the no-hitter May 25 at Philadelphia.

Markakis getting 1st taste of playoffs DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

BALTIMORE (AP) — Nick Markakis endured the lean years with the Baltimore Orioles, suffering through one losing season after another during the worst stretch in franchise history.

If that wasn’t bad enough, when the Orioles finally turned things around in 2012, Markakis sat out the playoffs with a broken thumb.

Now, nine years into his major league career, the 30-yearold right fielder is getting his first taste of postseason baseball. No one on Baltimore’s current roster has spent more time with the team than Markakis, whose loyalty to the Orioles has never wavered since they made him their first-round pick in the 2003 draft.

Even after Baltimore went 70-92, 69-93 and 68-93 in his first three major league seasons, Markakis remained confident he would ultimately reach the playoffs with the Orioles.

So he signed a six-year extension in 2009 during Baltimore’s miserable run of 14 straight losing seasons.

“In the past, judging by the development and the direction the team was going, I knew it was just a matter of time,” Markakis said. “That’s one reason I signed here, because I knew eventually it was going to happen. Good things come from

a little hard work, patience and dedication. It was just a matter of plugging in players here and there, and we’ve got it now.”

Using deft moves by executive vice president Dan Duquette and the guidance of manager Buck Showalter, the Orioles are in the AL Championship Series for the first time since 1997. When they open at home Friday night against Kansas City, there will be plenty of fans among the sellout crowd wearing No. 21 jerseys with MARKAKIS on the back.

Markakis, the Orioles’ leadoff hitter, ranks among the top 10 in franchise history in games, at-bats, runs, hits, double, RBIs and walks. In his own understated way, he’s made a name for himself on lists that include Hall of Fame stars Cal Ripken, Brooks Robinson and Frank Robinson.

“You look at the all-time leaders in hits in Baltimore history, that gets your attention,” manager Buck Showalter said. “Sometimes we don’t completely grasp what we’ve watching here.”

Showalter remembers how disappointed Markakis was in 2012, when the Orioles finally shed their losing ways and earned a spot in the playoffs as a wild card. Markakis’ season ended on Sept. 9 when he was struck in the left thumb by a fastball from New York Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia.

“It still bothers me,” Showalter said. “That was a kick in the (rear). It reminded all of us how fleeting this is.”

For Markakis, watching the postseason from the bench didn’t come close to the feeling of playing the game.

“Every kid wants to be part of something. When they’re doing something and you’re not part of it, it makes you appreciate what you’re missing,” Markakis said. “I understand that now. I had it taken away from in 2012, but here I am with a second chance.”

He’s making the most of it, too. Markakis had three RBIs and scored three runs in the Orioles’ three-game sweep of Detroit in the AL Division Series, the highlight a two-run homer in Game 2.

“I know he’s excited about being in the playoffs and we’re all excited to have him,” Baltimore shortstop J.J. Hardy said. “He’s kind of one of the steady guys we have on this team. He’s out there every single day, giving 100 percent playing through pain and all kinds of stuff.”

Pick’Em Week 6: Zany keeps getting zanier

By NOLAN ROSE For the Peninsula Clarion

Has there ever been a football weekend filled with more upsets and general zaniness than the one we’re still recovering from? The Kenai Kardinals gave a dominant SoHi Stars team everything they could handle before falling 21-14. The state of Mississippi became the capital of the college football world with Ole Miss’ upset victory over the Crimson Tide of Alabama and Mississippi State’s drubbing of Texas A&M. I’m fairly certain the American Civil War was the last time the state of Mississippi was this relevant. The Pac-12 conference was turned upside down when undefeated powers UCLA and Oregon each fell at home to traditional conference doormats!

The roller-coaster ride continued into Sunday. Cleveland became the first visiting team in history to overcome a 25-point deficit in the regular season when the Browns stormed back to topple a bewildered Tennessee Titans team 29-28. Of course, the narrow one-point victory wasn’t enough to cover a 1.5 point spread. Fun! Want more? The Philadelphia Eagles were on cruise control late in the third quarter, up 34-7 over the St. Louis Goats. St. Louis, led by third string quarterback Austin Davis, proceeded to score 21 unanswered points to pull within six with just under five minutes remaining. The Goats were unable to add another score, but the six-point deficit was enough to cover a seven-point spread.

Obviously, predicting the outcome of a football game against the spread is challenging. Theoretical physics is easier on the brain. That’s why the Clarion hired my alcohol-induced alter egos to handle the job. The Prince of Pick’em, the Sultan of Sides, The King of Covers, whichever version of me you prefer, has been on an absolute tear! Another 11-4 triumph in week five pushed our season’s tally to 44-31-1. After an uncharacteristically slow start to the year the column has gone on a 31-12-1 run the last three weeks. For the math majors out there that’s a 72% clip. All this after siding correctly 57% of the time for the en-

tire season in 2013. I’m expecting a call from a Las Vegas casino tycoon any day now.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ Houston Texans +3 The Colts are riding a three-game win streak heading into a pivotal AFC South showdown in Houston against the Texans.

Houston? Houston has a problem. Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick looks more apt to slay a bear in the Alaskan wilderness than complete a pass to his own team. Houston had every chance, behind a hot running game, to steal a win in Dallas a week ago, but Fitzpatrick’s inaccurate arm single-handedly secured defeat.

This will be a competitive affair, but the Colts advantage at quarterback will be the difference. Colts win 27-19

JACKSONVILLE JAGS @ Tennessee Titans -6 Hide them women and children! Men, avert your eyes. The NFL’s version of two separate train wrecks colliding with each other is set to take place this Sunday in Nashville. Prior to last week’s relatively narrow eight-point defeat the Jungle Kittens hadn’t lost a game by less than 17 points. The Titans just blew a 25-point lead at home. Something has to give. Jaguars win 21-20

BALTIMORE RAVENS @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3.5 Tampa Bay has played inspired ball since their 56-14 meltdown in Atlanta three weeks ago. The Bucs topped Pittsburgh by a field goal before blowing a late lead in New Orleans last Sunday. Baltimore looked sloppy in their loss to the Colts last Sunday, but I still like this Ravens team. Laying a field goal plus scares me, as I expect Tampa to be competitive, but Baltimore is the stronger side and the smart play. Ravens win 28-23

DENVER BRONCOS @ New York Jets -9 Rex Ryan and the New York Paper Airplanes are finished. Done. Kaput. Jets quarterback Geno Smith missed a team meeting last Saturday because he didn’t know what time zone he was in. That’s real. That actually happened. Ryan supported his young passer by saying it was an honest mistake and noted that Smith had hustled in. What is this? Pee-wee

football? You hustle when you’re an eight year old. You can’t defeat Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos if your quarterback doesn’t know what time zone he is in. Broncos win 45-0

Detroit Lions @ MINNESOTA VIKINGS +2 We’re taking a leap of faith that Vikings rookie Teddy Bridgewater will be under center this weekend. I wouldn’t touch the Fighting Norwegians if they’re forced to go with Christian Ponder again.

How is Ponder still in the NFL? Detroit is riddled with injuries at wide receiver and running back. If Calvin Johnson is effectively absent for a second consecutive game the Lions will struggle to score touchdowns. The team signed Matt Prater this week to handle kicking duties, an obvious upgrade over the errant legs they’ve been trotting out there, but it won’t be enough on Sunday. Vikings win 26-24

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS @ Buffalo Bills +3 In spite of a hot mess at quarterback Buffalo has stampeded its way to a 3-2 start, good enough to share the top spot in the AFC East after five weeks with the New England Patriots. The shared prosperity will end this Sunday. The Brady Bunch, after a week of non-stop media hostility, dismantled the previously unbeaten Cincinnati Bengals a week ago.

A pissed off New England team will ride that momentum to a comfortable victory.

Patriots win 30-17

Carolina Panthers @ CINCINNATI BENGALS -7

behind victory over the Titans last week.

Browns backers won’t need late heroics this Sunday. Pittsburgh is a tidy 3-2 on the year, but their record is misleading. The Steelers lost at home to a winless Tampa Bay team two weeks ago and followed that debacle with a narrow 17-9 victory over the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars. It’s safe to say the Mike Tomlin’s men aren’t playing great football right now. Browns win 23-17

GREEN BAY PACKERS @ Miami Dolphins +3.5 Ever since Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers infamously instructed Green Bay faithful to R-E-L-A-X, after a slow start to the year left fans fearing for the worst, the passing attack has been on a roll. Green Bay has won their last two contests by a combined 53 points! That’s a lot. Expect Green Bay to turn a bad Miami Dolphins team into canned tuna. Packers win 3519

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS @ Oakland Raiders +7.5 The San Diego Chargers might be the best team in football. Don’t laugh! While I’m not ready to fully endorse San Diego as a Super Bowl favorite, the Chargers do lead the league in point differential at an astounding plus-70 after five contests.

The Lightning Bolts aren’t just winning, they’re crushing the opposition, and their opponents this Sunday, the Oakland Raiders, excel at getting crushed. How can you side against San Diego in this matchup?

Chargers win 31-13

Chicago Bears @ ATLANTA FALCONS -3

How does Cam Newton do it? The Panthers quarterback has the team at 3-2 despite a surprisingly leaky defense and a supporting cast of unknowns on offense.

Can Carolina rely on their smoke and mirrors attack against a strong Cincinnati team looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat in Boston? Bengals receiver A.J. Green is questionable with a toe injury. Green’s health will play a large role in the outcome of this contest.

If Green is effective I like the Bengals at home. Bengals win 30-20

Both of these teams feel like they should be better than their 2-3 records indicate, but to borrow a phrase from one of my all-time favorite coaches, Bill Parcells, you are what your record says you are. The Bears couldn’t hold a 21-7 advantage a week ago in Carolina. Atlanta blew a late 10-point lead in New York against the Giants. Both can put points on the board, but seem allergic to tackling on defense. Coin flips favor the home side.

Falcons win 33-28

Cowboys can run the football with DeMarco Murray, they can throw it behind Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, and they’ve played surprisingly strong defense. This is all terrible news for me. One of my favorite pastimes is making fun of the Fighting Jerry’s. Seattle is a tough place to win and I don’t think the Cowboys are ready to pull off the upset and win the game outright, but Seattle has been mistake-prone enough offensively to let the Boy’s stick around. Seahawks win 24-17

WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ Arizona Cardinals -3.5 Who’s playing quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals? Carson Palmer is out with an apparent nerve injury in his throwing shoulder. Backup Drew Stanton suffered a concussion last week in Denver leaving his status in doubt. That leaves really bad college quarterback and current NFL rookie Logan Thomas as the remaining QB on the roster. On defense, the Cardinals are without Calais Campbell, lost to a knee injury. Linebacker Matt Shaughnessy is out. Daryl Washington and Darnell Dockett have yet to play a game. At some point all these injuries have to add up. Redskins win 24-21

New York Giants @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES -2.5 If I was wrong about a team this year it was the New York Giants. Coach Tom Coughlin was old, Eli Manning was finished, the defense couldn’t defend, there was a laundry list of reasons the Giants weren’t going to be competitive in the NFC. It appears none of them were accurate. The Eagles are 4-1 but it hasn’t been Chip Kelly’s high powered offense leading the way. The Eagles have scored seven touchdowns this season on special teams or defense! That’s good. If the offense gets on track Philadelphia will be tough to stop. Eagles win 30-27

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ St. Louis Rams +3.5 The 49ers travel to St. Louis with a lot of turmoil in their luggage. The team is a mess. Injuries, suspensions, arrests, etc... You name it and it’s an issue for San Francisco. Reports have surfaced that not a single person in California likes crazed Coach Jim Harbaugh. Despite all the tomfoolery the 49ers sit at 3-2 after five weeks, in great position to make another run into January. Incredible. 49ers win 23-16

rise in crime in the area. Nikiski council member Fred Miller said the committee would bring back recommendations to advise the council and formulate a plan.

Nikiski resident Ann Krogseng, who organized a previous town hall meeting to address the thefts, said while the community voted down a law enforcement service area for Nikiski in a referendum in 2004, the area’s demographic has changed and action needs to be taken.

“Today is a new day,” she said.

Truesdell said the Nikiski Fire Department has offered up space and equipment needed for a trooper substation in Fire Station 2. The station is located across the street from M&M Market on the Kenai Spur Highway. The market was burglarized in August.

The space would be sufficient for a trooper to work from, but

green hard hats and yellow ear plugs for protection from falling debris and noise, many had foregone jackets and warm weather gear and stood shivering in the shadow of the warehouse-style building where the offices and operating room are housed.

While they were mostly silent as Kingrey spoke outside, when the group moved inside, the plentiful heat coaxed communication out of several of them.

As Kingrey explained how the facility operated, they asked questions about how power was generated, how the facility was operated and where the power was stored.

“I expected it to be a lot simpler,” said KCHS junior Caleb Rohn. “I didn’t realize so much went into running the turbine. I thought the gas went in and spun the turbine and that was it.”

Rohn, who said his dad works at a refinery in Nikiski, said he wanted to study mechanical and electrical engineering. He said he was surprised by some

said he would consider cutting projects like the road to Juneau.

“It’s a total waste of money,” he said. … “It will serve no one’s interests except the people that are building it perhaps.”

Referring to the operating budget, Myers said priorities need to be rethought because it is too high and unsustainable.

“There’s going to be some tough decisions that are going to have to be made,” Myers said.

Clift said as a Libertarian she will minimize government and decrease spending, if elected.

“We know the oil price is down, we are not going to be

able to sustain the government that we have going on right now,” Clift said.

Clift said unnecessary projects need to be cut and transportation systems need to be maintained.

In the operating budget, Clift said she wouldn’t add to it.

“As a good leader I’m going to call in all the department heads and ask all of them to look at those departments and find those cuts themselves,” she said. “And I’m going to ask all of the administration to take a 10 percent cut in pay.”

Parnell discussed why he declined federal funds to expand Medicaid and two candidates

said they wouldn’t have expanded the program either.

“We would be taking billions of dollars that would be borrowed by our national government from foreign entities when we already have a $17 trillion debt,” Parnell said. “I think there are smarter ways to go when it comes to health care for those at 100 percent of the federal poverty level or below.”

Clift agreed and said in two years Alaska would have had to pick up the bill from the federal government.

Not participating in Medicaid expansion is a wise decision, Myers said.

“The money is not even real,” he said. “It’s being printed out of thin air. The feds saying, ‘We’ll give you this money.’

What money? It’s just more of the same of this false government growth that has no basis in reality and it’s going to be a bubble that’s going to burst at some point.”

Walker said he would expand Medicaid. He said it helps many Alaskans.

“We accept matching funds from the federal government all the time on highways and we’ll do it on a 50-50 basis, but we won’t do 100 percent on health care,” Walker said. “There’s something wrong with that.”

The candidates were asked about whether they think the Alaska Board of Fish 2017 Upper Cook Inlet Finfish meeting should be held on the Kenai Peninsula.

Parnell, Myers and Clift all said the Board of Fish need to meet throughout stakeholder areas. Parnell said he has tried to get the on the meeting on the Kenai Peninsula in the past.

If elected, Walker said, “The Board of Fish will meet on the Peninsula.”

Truesdell said current staffing levels prevent a trooper from being stationed there permanently.

While trooper Capt. Andy Greenstreet said he received a commitment from Kenai District Attorney Scot Leaders to prosecute property crimes to the fullest extent, Nikiski residents are not convinced the justice system is doing enough to keep repeat offenders out of the community.

Nikiski resident Norm Olson, who signed up for the committee, said repeat felons get “a slap on the wrist and sent back into the community.” He suggested banishing convicted criminals from the area until they can prove to be productive members of the community.

“What about protecting property owners who pay taxes for service and protection,” he said.

“We need to get to the root of the problem and drive (felons) out of the community. Like, the opposite of a welcome wagon.”

Truesdell said heroin seems to be the drug of choice in the area.

“We have seen a huge up-

surge throughout the peninsula,” he said.

The drug has played a role in several recent arrests including an Oct. 4 incident during which Denis Straughn, 43, of Soldotna was arrested for vehicle theft and possession of heroin.

Soldotna Police were on the lookout for a 2008 blue GMC Sierra after the owner told them it was stolen overnight. He said he’d accidently left the keys in the ignition. Three hours after it was reported stolen, a trooper located the vehicle driving toward Kenai on Kalifornsky Beach Road, according to a trooper affidavit.

The driver was identified as Straughn, who did not have a valid driver’s license. The truck had a different license plate, which was classified as “junked” and a run of the vehicle identification number revealed the truck as the one reported stolen.

Straughn was arrested for vehicle theft in the first degree.

In addition to the theft charge, Straughn was also charged with two counts of mis-

and Matt Ezell, two members of the property crime suppression unit, attended the Nikiski community meeting Monday and spoke to residents about what information the community could provide to assist in their investigations.

Hershberger said in 90 percent of the tips he receives, people tell him where the drug houses are and who is distributing. He said that is not enough to lead to arrests.

“We know where the drug houses are but what I know and what I can prove are two different things,” he said. “The court needs probable cause.”

Hershberger said being a good witness and recognizing characteristics of a drug user would help provide helpful tips, such as: — Drug users can be energetic and fidgety or pale and sickly if they suffer from withdrawls.

— Provide timely information to troopers and provide How to make helpful name, time and location. tips for Troopers — Be aware of strange veTroopers Casey Hershberger hicles parked on dead end roads

at odd hours.

— Look for physical evidence of drug paraphernalia left in the area like syringes, tooter straws or pen casings used to smoke drugs off tinfoil.

— Be aware of your neighbor’s frequent visitors and how long they stay and what type of vehicle they drive.

Truesdell told the residents to be a good witness and not put themselves in harm’s way unless someone’s life is in danger. Tips are time sensitive and if a known felon is seen in an area, call troopers immediately.

“Tips are like fruit, the longer it sits, the worse it gets,” he said.

of the things he heard while on the tour.

“I thought it would be a lot more expensive (to operate), but (Kingrey) said it’s just $1$1.5 million a year.”

As the students filed into the operation center of the plant, a bank of computer screens displayed the complexity of the operation — but no one was nearby to monitor the displays.

The Soldotna power generation plan can be, and is typically, remotely operated from HEA’s Nikiski facility.

“It’s not cost effective to staff this plant 24/7 because it’s not necessary,” Ambrose said.

“This is a simple-cycle plant ... so it can be more reliably operated up and down from the Nikiski dispatch center.”

Each of the power sources HEA owns can be operated from Nikiski, he said. So, an operator is always on staff in Nikiski, monitoring the company’s electrical grid.

“Whatever the system demand is, we look at it in advance with what we think it’s going to be and then, we true it up as time gets closer. We’re looking at weather and historical load and

all that and we predict what it’s going to be a day in advance,” he said. “We plan to match exactly the output of the units to the demand of the system. You cannot produce more power than you use and you cannot produce less power than you use and you always match.”

After the tour, Ambrose said the company’s quest to provide energy to the Kenai Peninsula — a project dubbed “Independent Light” that took a major step forward when it began producing its own energy in January — had sometimes resulted in frequent outages.

He characterized the outages as growing pains.

“Part of what we were doing with ‘Independent Light’ was making the system as reliable as possible and in the process of meeting that goal, we had to segment the system in ways that made us more fragile. But, we’re close to done and the system will be the most robust that it can be. We appreciate the patience of our members.”

conduct involving a controlled substance in the fourth-degree after a leather jacket was found with a hypodermic needle filled with liquid in the jacket pocket along with a box of cigarettes that had five small baggies that contained a crystalline substance. The substance tested positive for heroin, according to the report.

Vehicle theft and heroin possession are class C felonies and each count carries a maximum prison sentence of five years in jail and $50,000 fine.

Olson, who is co-founder of the Alaska Citizen’s Militia, said the rural borough areas are in need of a sheriff’s department before the drug community gets worse.

the district to the retirement fund have to be reflected in the district’s budget. Those funds didn’t used to be in the budget, so there appears to have been an increase to some people.

“In reality it’s not money that we get to spend,” Jones said. …

“It’s reflected as a revenue and reflected as an expenditure.”

In fiscal year 2015 on-behalf payments totaled $33.6 million.

The district’s largest costs are salaries and benefits, which accounted for about 84 percent of expenditures in FY15.

The administration will present public input to the KPBSD Board of Education during an Oct. 21 work session.

“This is our attempt to try and get more people involved,” Jones said. “We want people … to be informed and do it early in the process so when it comes time late in the process to make the critical decisions they have an informed basis upon which to make those.”

kind of cliff,” Jones said. “We would just as soon try to reduce on a leveled kind of smaller decline.”

The bill also included additional funding for the following two years. An additional $200,000 is expected for FY16 and the district expects a $7,000 increase in FY17.

“In FY15 … we still had a deficit budget, but (the bill) really helped us,” Jones said.

“The concern with … FY16 is that the $200,000 really doesn’t cover the increases that we get faced with — health care and items like that.”

The administration also hopes to clear up some misinformation when it comes to the district’s budget. Jones said one of the most common questions from the public is, “Why is the district’s budget increasing when the student enrollment is decreasing?”

Twist defines ‘Gone Girl’ “Gone Girl” 20th Century Fox 2 hour 25 minutes Thriller/Drama “Gone Girl,” the new mystery from David Fincher and star Ben Affleck, based on the best-selling novel, is a very good movie, make no mistake about it. It is also, however, a story almost wholly defined by its big twist, a dramatic shift that occurs almost exactly half-way through the narrative. If you go to see the movie with no inside info, basing your preconceived notions purely on what you see in the trailer, then you really have no idea what the movie is actually about. And that’s great - that’s exactly how you should see this film.

Ben Affleck, in a stellar performance, is Nick Dunne, a washed-up writer trying to make it in a washed up marriage. His wife is Amy Dunne, who we are mostly introduced to through her diary since at the be-

Rosamund Pike, as the titular “Gone Girl” is excellent in the role. I hadn’t seen her in much that I would have noticed before this, but I’ll sure notice her now. Though the investigating detectives, Kim Dickens and Patrick Fugit in two great supporting roles, initially are sympathetic to the worried husband, the evidence begins to all point in just one direction. Nick, never a particularly likable fellow, is looking more and more unlikable as the clues stack up against him.

When even Nick’s twin sister Margo, Car-

rie Coon, as one of the only likable characters in the entire production, begins to look at him askance, he hires hotshot attorney Tanner Bolt, known for getting murdering husbands off the hook. Amy, once the inspiration for a series of children’s books entitled “Amazing Amy,” is big news, and her disappearance has drawn the media jackals from the woodwork. There’s even a great riff on Nancy Grace and her hyperbolic rants. People turn out in droves to volunteer to help find Amy, including people with less than disinterested motives, including an ex-boyfriend perfectly played

American food exhibit opens in Fairbanks

By JEFF RICHARDSON Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — If you’re planning to stroll through the lobby at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Community and Technical College in the next month or so, it might be good to have a snack first.

CTC is hosting a traveling exhibit, “Key Ingredients: America by Food,” at its main building at 604 Barnette St. Visitors will get a glimpse into the history of Memphis barbecue, Chicago deep-dish pizza, nachos and a variety of other foods that have contributed to the country’s culinary history.

“Key Ingredients” is a traveling exhibit from Smithsonian Institutions, which presents museum-quality pieces to small or medium-sized U.S. cities.

It’s the final stop in Alaska for the exhibit, which has already traveled to Homer, Palmer and Talkeetna.

The University of Alaska Museum of the North is presenting the exhibit, which explores how culture, geography and tradition influence American meals.

“The food we eat is influenced by where we live and what’s available and who lives

there,” said Steve Bonta, the museum’s coordinator of exhibition and design.

The exhibit, which is comprised of three series of folding panels, arrived last month in 15 crates at the Museum of the North. Without room for a new display at the museum, CTC agreed to host the exhibit through Nov. 22.

Those who check out the exhibit will get a primer on popular American foods and how they’re consumed. There are also food-related displays that

include Thanksgiving, eating out and the art of hospitality.

It even includes a set of foam “cheeseheads,” in both adult and child sizes, that people can try on to imitate Wisconsin’s dairy-crazed football fans.

A program with the exhibit includes some food trivia and classic American recipes.

The exhibit also includes several local components. A video will share Fairbanksans’ local food stories, captured at the Downtown Market and a handful of local community-

sponsored farms. An accompanying Alaska-themed food exhibit will be at the UA Museum of the North cafe, where a display from the history collection will include desiccated eggs, original ice cream containers from the old Creamer’s Dairy and a gold rush-era coffee tin.

The museum will also present a handful of food-themed family programs during October, including a family day on Oct. 11 that explores the culture, art and science of food.

SAN MARINO, Calif.

(AP) — Southern California’s Huntington Library has acquired an early version of Anglo-Swiss painter Henry Fuseli’s classic “The Three Witches” and will put it on display beginning Saturday.

Huntington officials said Tuesday the painting also known as “The Weird Sisters” appears to be a full-size study made about 1782.

That was sometime before Fuseli created the two known final versions of his scary looking work depicting the witches of Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth.”

One of those is at England’s Royal Shakespeare Company. The other is at Zurich’s Museum of Modern Art. This one, acquired from a private collection, has never been displayed publicly.

Although the Huntington is known for its 18th century British paintings, this is its first work by Fuseli, one of the most celebrated artists of that period.

the right people to meet – especially for a girl trying out a dream that began almost when she was born: Candy’s mother, a Korean War bride, was a funny woman who passed her sense of humor on to her daughter. Jong Oh died when Candy was small, but memories of her mom’s favorite advice (“Best to laugh!”) gave Candy strength to pursue her goal of being a stand-up comic.

Still, it wasn’t easy. She wrote and re-wrote her jokes, accepted advice and practiced, quit, then returned to L.A.’s smallest stages. She alternately bombed and then killed onstage with the support of her temp-job co-workers, her longdistance grandma, and the new friends she was beginning to think of as family.

It was a time for Candy that was increasingly sweet – until something happened at Peyton Hall that was no laughing matter…

Even though I’m a fan from

way back, I have to admit that this new kinda-sorta-semibiographical novel by author Lorna Landvik initially didn’t impress me much. There’s a lot going on at the beginning of “Best to Laugh,” and too many characters thrown in a mix. To say that I was lost is an understatement.

Happily, even though the plot extended and even more characters showed up, it all started to make sense after a(short)while, becoming the kind of book Landvik readers love. We get the wonderfully nice Midwestern girl we crave in these kinds of books, a host of quirky folks who are also fun to know, a dream in the making, and an ending that might find you reaching for tissues.

“Best,” indeed.

I’ve no doubt that you’ll want to mention this to your book club when you’re done reading it. You’ll want to pass it to friends because they like books like this, too, and “Best to Laugh” is best to read.

the secret in that case and the movie suffered the consequences. By the time “Da Vinci” came out, everyone knew the twist, and audiences, though coming out big for the opening weekend, dismissed the movie as “been there, done that.” “Gone Girl,” as far as I can tell, is not suffering a similar fate, and is getting deservedly great reviews and high box office numbers. I, however, am finding it difficult to appreciate the movie fully.

David Fincher and screenwriter Gillian Flynn, who based the script on her own novel, have given us an incredibly faithful adaptation. Note for note, with only a few very minor changes, “Gone Girl,” the movie is a near perfect recreation of the book.

As a result, though I could appreciate all the technical virtuosity - the incredible acting, the cinematography, the music, there was very little that jolted me, or made me really sit up and take notice, with the exception of one particular scene, surprisThe Bookworm is Terri ing in the book, but hits like a Schlichenmeyer.

aters were invited to nominate a play without revealing the author or even the title, and six finalists went to judges, who included artistic director Andrew Leynse, playwright Lynn Nottage, director Lucie Tiberghien and director and actor Ruben Santiago-Hudson.

O’Brien’s play, which also won the Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History, is a story of war and war reporting that was inspired by the experiences of Paul Watson, who won a Pulitzer Prize for a 1993 photo of a dead U.S. Army Ranger dragged through the streets of Somalia’s capital.

“The Body of an American” had its world premiere with Portland Center Stage in Oregon

in October 2012 and will be presented at the Wilma Theater in Philadelphia beginning Jan. 7.

Parks’ play, which starts performances Oct. 14 at the Public Theater, is a meditation on freedom set against the Civil War. In it, a slave must choose whether or not to join his master on the Confederate battlefield and follows that decision over three parts. Parks previously won the Pulitzer Prize for her play “Topdog/Underdog.”

“It never gets old. Praise never goes out of style,” Parks, 51, said before the ceremony.

“It’s always wonderful to be recognized, when the community gives you a pat on the back or raises a glass to you.”

Both playwrights revealed that they briefly met Foote be-

fore his death in 2009. Parks chatted with Foote at a party about Texas, while O’Brien is a Foote family friend — he rented daughter Daisy Foote’s apartment for years — who once had the pleasure of Horton Foote watching one of his pieces performed.

“I admire his writing so much,” said O’Brien, 40. “Getting an award and some money is great, but to actually truly love the writer makes it that much more special.”

The Foote awards are presented every two years and have previously gone to David Lindsay-Abaire, Naomi Wallace, Will Eno and Nottage. The prizes are funded by the Greg and Mari Marchbanks Family Foundation.

the movie felt like re-experiencing rather than experiencing. It reminded me of how I felt about Fincher’s last big budget adaptation project, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” It was all very well done, but by the time it came out everyone had read the book and seen a whole series of Swedish movies exactly like it. It felt unnecessary. I won’t go so far

as to say “Gone Girl” is unnecessary - in fact, in some ways, it’s better than the book. What I can say, however, is that you should go in cold, if at all possible.

Don’t read the book first.

Don’t read spoilers. Just go in and let this darkly satirical look at media, human behavior, relationships and the banality of the suburb living wash over you. It’s

not always pretty, but it’s a hell of a tale - assuming you don’t already know the end. Grade: A “Gone Girl” is rated R for nudity, explicit sexuality, gruesome violence, and pervasive language.

Peninsula Clarion, Thursday, October 9, 2014

Dad who took on fatherhood finds his title taken away been for you.

However, the legal father of that little boy is the person whose name is on the birth certificate. While you have loved Carla’s child and have assumed the role of father, legally you may not be. A lawyer can explain this to you, and tell you if you have any options other than being a positive, stable, masculine presence in the child’s life. But I suspect the mother’s wishes will prevail.

prayer quietly and didn’t impose it upon the other attendees, she did nothing wrong. Actually, the rule of etiquette is to refrain from criticizing the table manners of other guests — and the person who admonished your friend was rude.

Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: Recently a friend of mine went to a ritzy gala. When dinner was served, she closed her eyes and said a brief and quiet prayer. When she opened them, the people at her table were appalled.

One guest admonished her, telling her she shouldn’t pray out of respect for others.

Was she wrong? What’s the proper etiquette?

Should she stop saying her grace?

— GRACE BEFORE DINNER DEAR GRACE: As long as your friend said her

DEAR ABBY: I met this beautiful woman online.

We have been dating for a few months, and I really don’t care for her natural hairstyle and the scarves/ headgear she wears when we’re together. I have tiptoed around the issue. What should I do?

— BACHELOR IN GEORGIA DEAR BACHELOR: Hair can be a sensitive issue with women. A natural hairdo is a lot healthier than coloring, perming or straightening, all of which involve products that can damage hair. Hats and scarves are a quick solution when a woman feels she’s having a bad hair day. My advice to you is to accept her just the way she is — unless you want to risk losing her.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.

tion of dealing with an angry person. You might believe that you can handle the situation, but a surprise could be on the way. A parent or older person might be a little too vague for your taste. Tonight: Not to be found.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Listen to what is being shared by a friend. You could feel uncomfortable expressing exactly what is on your mind. You might not be as sure of yourself as you’d like to be.

Don’t worry — you are surrounded by friends. Tonight: Only where people are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You can’t avoid the limelight, and in truth, that doesn’t bother you at all. You were born to be in the spotlight, and you love to be complimented. You could feel awkward when dealing with a new friend’s feelings. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s suggestion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHReachouttosomeoneatadistance whom you really care about.

You might be overwhelmed by the twists and turns that could come down the path. Detach, and you will have a better understanding of what is going on behind the scenes. Tonight: Give your mind a treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Pressure builds around a personal situation involving a partner who wants what he or she wants and is unwilling to compromise.

You could be hitting your head against the wall, but accept that it is futile to try to change this person’s mind. Accept the situation.

Tonight: Out late.

to have a different opinion of how things should be done. You might be escaping your feelings through some type of indulgence. Your creativity will come out if you relax. A solution will appear as a result. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are likely to maintain a fairly even pace, which means you could accomplish more than you even thought possible. You also seem to be more easily angered than usual. Be careful when expressing these feelings. Follow your intuition. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be looking for a new idea or a better solution. Allow more creativity to flow. Give up your need to have everything be logical; rather, go with your intuition, especially trying to resolve what appeared to be an unresolvable issue. Tonight: Play it easy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHYou might want to go with the moment and get to the bottom of a problem. By saying less and listening more, you will find an answer.

You could want to share your impressions before you decide that you’re right. Others’ reactions will tell you a lot more. Tonight: Head home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Return calls and catch up on others’ news. You’ll have a lot to share. At the same time, you might want to make plans for the weekend. Others appreciate your imagination and often want to tap into it for personal as well as professional reasons. Tonight: Hang out with a pal.

Preview the menu Dear Heloise: When we are going out to eat in a restaurant, I go online beforehand to read the menu. This speeds up the ordering process considerably.

— Barbara C., Amarillo, Texas Yes, it does, especially if there are a lot of people with your group! Nothing slows things down, particularly during the busy dinner or lunch rush, like a large (or even small) table of diners taking way too long to order.

— Heloise Holey socks Dear Heloise: Instead of throwing out socks when there is a hole in the toe, here is an easy way to sew up the hole: Turn the sock inside out. Pull it over a cold light bulb with the hole at the top. This stretches the material and stabilizes it. Place the bulb between your knees to steady it. This frees up both hands to easily hold the material and sew it up.

— Bea L., Wellington, Fla. This is a popular hint, but a safer one is to use a tennis ball. No worries about a tennis ball shattering.

— Heloise Jewelry to go Dear Heloise: I have found the small plastic bags that hold extra buttons when purchasing a new shirt or blouse to be the perfect solution for holding earrings and necklaces when traveling. All earrings stay in pairs, and the necklaces do not get tangled.

— Gloria R. in Wyoming This can be a super hint to use when traveling with jewelry, especially for a long trip where you may bring jewelry for different outfits.

SUDOKU

By Tom Wilson

By Dave Green

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014: This year you enjoy relating to people on a one-on-one level. You will find that closeness is more rewarding, though at times you might choose not to share a lot of what is happening in your life. If you are single, it will be important to remember the role of friendship when relating. A relationship will be more solid as a result. If you are attached, the two of you will fulfill a major goal, which will add to the happiness that exists between you. Do not take out your moods on your sweetie. TAURUS can be very stubborn!

Your imagination is likely to encourage you to take a risk. You will want to have a reality check and a sound conversation.

Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHYou will want to work through a problem. Someone who is involved could be in your face, and his or her anger might be difficult to handle. Revisit a long-term goal before saying anything. With a fresh perspective, you will see the whole matter differently. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

DEAR ABBY: About two years ago, a close female friend, “Carla,” had her first child. The biological father is from another country. When she told him she was pregnant, he refused to have anything to do with the child, so I decided to take over the role as a father.

I have been with Carla and my son since she found out about the pregnancy. When she was in her last trimester, we decided to give a shot to the relationship and become a couple. Everything was great. She had our child. When he was born, I really became a father.

But after two years, everything didn’t go as we planned and we broke up.

Now Carla says I’m not the father, and she won’t give my son my last name. I don’t know what to do.

I really want him to be known as my son, but without my last name, everyone sees me only as the guy who is raising another guy’s son.

The breakup took a huge toll on me. During our last fight, she said I should forget about being the father and accept that I’m only the godfather. Please tell me what I can do.
