Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Mike Navarre gives a speech after it became clear that he won a third term in office Tuesday in Soldotna.

Navarre wins re-election

Borough mayor fends off challengers to retain seat By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

In the race for the Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor’s seat, unofficial results show incumbent Mike Navarre retaining his position with 53.52 percent of the vote. “I’m really happy right now with the results of the election,” he said. “And I’m happy for our community. … We have a lot of issues in front of us and I think I’m the best person to work with all the residents to try to ... plan for a bright future.”

Two candidates challenged Navarre for the job. Tom Bearup nabbed 36.51 percent of the vote and Carrol Martin captured 9.45 percent. Bearup carried the Anchor Point, Nikiski, Ninilchik, Sterling No. 2, Funny River No. 1 and Salamatof districts. “At this point it certainly looks good for (Navarre),” Bearup said. … “We’ve enjoyed the trip. We have worked hard and I congratulate (Navarre).” Bearup said, win or lose, he will continue to try to help as Borough mayoral candidate Tom Bearup watches guests at See MAYOR, page A-14 his election night party Tuesday in Soldotna.

Local voters said no to an animal rescue program and holding elections by mail. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly put the issues on the ballot as advisory votes only. Just more than half of voters, 50.53 percent, said no Proposition A1, which asked voters if the borough should exercise animal control outside of cities. However, nearly 64 percent of said no to funding a program via a tax under Proposition A2. Proposition B asked if elections should be held by mail and about 66 percent of voters said no. Absentee ballots have yet to be counted. Peg Snyder, a member of the Domestic Animal Protection League that has been advocating for animal rights and campaigning in favor of an animal rescue program, said she is thankful to those who voted for the animals. Pushing for this cause “has been just a remarkable experience,” she said. Lance Briggs, who lives in the lower Kalifornsky Beach Road area, said he doesn’t see a problem with animal abuse or neglect in his neighborhood. Funny River voter Sean Owens was against animal control See PROPS, page A-13

Welles, Gilman take assembly seats By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

Stan Welles and Blaine Gilman have come out ahead in their Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly races, while voters in Homer approved Kelly Cooper. After Tuesday’s preliminary vote count, Welles led the Sterling and Funny River district with 48 percent of the votes, with 493 votes. LaDawn Druce claimed 33 percent of the votes with 334 votes total. Marty Anderson collected 18 percent of the votes with 187 votes total

from the five of six precincts reporting. Cooper, who was running unopposed, carried the Homer district with 98 percent of the votes, receiving 831 votes total. Unofficial results have Gilman as the winner of the Kenai district with 49 percent of the 482 total votes. Jake Thompson received 41 percent and Grayling Bassett received 10 percent of the votes. Gilman said he saw the votes he received as a mandate for funding education to the cap.

He said the results were not a surprise as he sees the Kenai community as one that wants education properly funded. Moving into his term Gilman said he is going to fight for the platform he promised. He also said he is very thankful to the people that supported his election. Thompson ran on a conservative platform, touting fiscal responsibility. Bassett said he was looking to put his background in public policy to use in the public sector. This will not be Gilman’s

first time in public service. He served on the Kenai City Council from 2003-2005, a term he recalls as a contentious one. He, and the city, were dealing with the deficit left in sales tax revenue when Kmart went bankrupt and closed its Kenai location. Before the results were in, voters commented on the fresh faces running in the assembly elections. Ken Harper, a Kenai resident, said he was pleased with the new faces that showed up in this year’s elections. He said

he liked that younger candidates, Thompson and Bassett were running. He said with new candidates come the possibility of new ideas being put on the table. Sue Carter, a Kenai resident, said she voted for Blaine Gilman because she was close with his father, Donald Gilman, a former borough mayor. She said she believes Gilman will lead the community in a positive direction. “He supports families and education,” Carter said. See SEATS, page A-13

Holt wins Central Tim Navarre, Knackstedt school board seat lead Kenai City Council race By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Incumbents will fill the three seats on the Kenai Peninsula Borough School Board up for grabs in Tuesday’s election. Absentee ballots have not yet been counted but unofficial results show Penny Vadla, who ran unopposed in this year’s election, has been re-elected for the district of Soldotna. Joe Arness, also unopposed, will be representing the district of Nikiski on the board, and Bill Holt will be representing the central district. Vadla carried the Soldotna

district with 96.43 percent of the votes, of which she received 810. Arness captured 93.7 percent of the Nikiski district votes, of which he received 744. Bill Holt, beat out newcomer Damon Yerly for the Kasilof seat with 63.77 percent of the votes, of which he received 551, while Yerly had 35.30 percent of the votes, of which he received 305 votes. Arness was elected board president in his last term, and has a total of 23 successive years in public service. Vadla collectively has 11 years under her belt. See SCHOOL, page A-14

By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

With nearly 1,800 votes cast in the Kenai City Council race, incumbents Tim Navarre and Henry Knackstedt won the two vacant seats according to unofficial results reported Tuesday night. Navarre received 30.61 percent of the votes to win reelection for a second term on the city council. Knackstedt edged incumbent Mike Boyle by 20 votes for the second council seat. Another challenger, Holly Spann, received C

13 percent of the vote. Navarre said he appreciated the support from the voters. He said he felt confident that he represented his views well through debate and he felt the voters reacted favorably to his stance to support the veteran’s memorial issue. Tim Navarre celebrated with his brother Mike Navarre, who won a third term as Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor. “I was more anxious to see

his results because it was a race I felt ... had big implications for our community,” he said. “I look forward to another three years and being more proactive to address the issues that face our community.” Navarre said he is excited for Knackstedt to join the council. He said he has worked with Knackstedt through the city’s planning and zoning commission and believes Knackstedt will make a good council member. “He is very capable and ready to step into the council See KENAI, page A-13

Health officials: Ebola threat low in Alaska FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — Alaska is at lower risk than the Lower 48 states of seeing Ebola cases but the threat is still being treated seriously, health officials said. The state Division of Epidemiology, part of the Department of Health and Social Services, said last week that it was providing information on what health providers and individuals could do to limit risk, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. The state’s remote location, sparse population and few ties to countries affected by Ebola means the risk of the virus is lower than elsewhere, officials said. Early recognition is critical to controlling an outbreak, the division said, and the state released guidelines for health providers to identify patients who may be infected.

That means providers should ask patients about travel history if they experience symptoms such as fever, myalgia, severe headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea or unexplained bleeding or bruising. For the public, the division said, Ebola is spread through direct contact with blood or

body fluids and can only be spread when someone infected shows symptoms. Ebola is not spread through food, water, air or casual contact, the division said. The people at highest risk are health-care providers or family members who take care of a person infected with the Ebola virus because they

may come into contact with the person’s blood or body fluids. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends not visiting countries where outbreaks are occurring, including Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, unless travel there is essential.

Trooper hit ‘dead end’ in hit-and-run FAIRBANKS (AP) — The investigation of a hit-and-run crash that seriously injured two bicycle riders west of Fairbanks has been stymied by a lack of leads, according to Alaska State Troopers. The crash on a rural road left a man with a broken back and a traumatic brain injury, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. His 12-year-old daughter suffered a concussion and cuts. JP Smith, an employee at the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital oncology clinic, and Amanda Smith on Sept. 4 had attended a fiddling show at Ivory Jack’s

restaurant and were biking home on the shoulder of Sheep Creek Road. A witness in her rear-view mirror saw a silver- or champagne-colored GMC or Chevrolet pickup approach the bikers from behind, strike them and continue driving. Smith was behind his daughter to make sure she stayed on the shoulder. He had on a reflective jacket and his bike carried flashing taillight. “The truck came from be-

hind us,” Smith said. “We didn’t hear it.” The crash knocked Smith out of his shoes. He woke up in an Anchorage hospital. He spent a week there and is recovering at his home. Amanda Smith also doesn’t remember the impact. “I just remember getting up,” she said. “I was in the grass. I got up, and I saw that Dad was lying on the ground.” Her back was bleeding, and her father would not wake up. The back of his bicycle helmet looked like someone had sawed it off. “I was kind of starting to freak out,” Amanda said. She spent a night at the Fairbanks hospital and missed a week of school.

Troopers say it’s unlikely that the bikers were on the road when hit. Surveillance footage from the University of Alaska Fairbanks led troopers to conclude the pickup likely drove toward the Parks Highway instead of the campus. “All we have to go on is this description,” Trooper Edwin Anderson said. “We are at a complete dead end. ... I want this person found.” Smith for three more months will use a back brace that stretches from his waist to his armpits. He can walk short distances. “In the next few weeks, I am hoping to go back to work,” he said. “Thank God it didn’t paralyze me.”

What Others Say

Fan violence in the NFL a growing concern Silence has not served the National

No October surprise party

For the election geeks who are waiting for this year’s campaign October surprise, give it up. Another tradition bites the dust. For those who don’t eat, sleep and breathe politics, first of all, congratulations — and in case you need it, an explanation: The October surprise was the predictable startling development or scandal, timed by one side or the other to explode into public view in the last days before the election. It would dominate the headlines and be all that the voters would be thinking of as they headed to the polls. My friend John Feehery, former press guy for House Speaker Dennis Hastert, knows about such things because he’s a student of politics, heaven help him. He writes in The Christian Science Monitor that both LBJ and Richard Nixon used the last-minute gambit to good effect. Since then, it has become a regular part of the last-minute routine. Unfortunately, the October surprise may have become obsolete. Surprises just can’t wait anymore. They startle us every day of the year, certainly every month. The ISIL surprise hit about June, give or take. That’s when our intelligence operatives were suddenly amazed that a huge force, thousands of well-equipped and -financed brutal Sunni fanatics, had somehow assembled without raising meaningful alarms and were marauding whomever they wanted in Iraq and Syria, basically uncontested by Iraq government troops, who mostly turned tail

Football League well. For years the league downplayed its problem with domestic violence and lightly penalized its offending players. That all erupted in a blaze of scandal and bad publicity when a video camera caught Ray Rice decking his then-fiancee in an elevator. Now NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is clinging to a job and reputation in steep decline. Another sort of violence lurks beneath the surface of this league, and last Sunday reared itself in two stadiums — University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale and Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Brawls broke out in the stands between spectators that turned far too dangerous as people tumbled over seats and down cement stairs. The crowd videos are cringe-worthy. Punches land sharply on faces. People fall several feet onto hard seats and sharp corners as those around them gasp. In Glendale blood spatters the concrete. Fans nurse bleeding wounds. Glendale police arrested two men on assault charges and stadium security expelled a number of other people involved in the two fights that broke out in the upper decks of the Cardinals stadium. The NFL has long known it has a problem with crowd violence. Last December, at least three people were stabbed outside of the Denver Broncos’ stadium as fans poured out into the parking lot following a loss to the San Diego Chargers. Former NFL defensive end Akbar Gbajabiamila wrote at NFL.com in 2012 that even players are concerned about the safety of their family members in the stands. “Fans can be brutal no matter what venue you go to,” he wrote. “When I came into the league in 2003, I was warned by veteran teammates to tell all of my family and friends to wear neutral colors to road games in order to deflect unnecessary attention that might cause them to be harassed.” Anyone who has frequented NFL games in the past decade can speak to the declining spectator environment — encounters with beer-swilling low-lifes who tease and taunt and finally bully those around them. The most dangerous people at football games are not the huge men playing a violent game, writes CBS Sports columnist Gregg Doyel. “The true danger is us. We are the thugs, and we are everywhere.” The NFL has been quietly trying to address the problem, he explains, with liaisons to each franchise focused on crowd security as teams coordinate with stadium guards and local law enforcement. Most NFL teams post a phone line for fans to text stadium personnel of any problems or concerns, Doyel reports. And the league is actively gathering information at all By STEVE PEOPLES stadiums and studying the findings. Associated Press The league operates quietly on this front because it doesn’t WASHINGTON — The Supreme want to alarm its customers, Doyel says. Court’s gay marriage decision has reig— The Arizona Republic, nited a debate inside the GOP that many Sept. 23 Republican leaders hoped to avoid ahead of the 2016 presidential contest. The court’s decision Monday to reject appeals from five states that sought to prohibit same-sex marriage pits the GOP’s By GARRY TRUDEAU pragmatic wing eager to move past the divisive social issue against religious conservatives — a vocal minority that vowed to redouble its efforts and punish those unwilling to join them. Describing the decision as “judicial activism at its worst,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday renewed his pledge to introduce a constitutional amendment that would limit the court’s ability to strike down the remaining state laws blocking gays and lesbians from marrying. “We’re seeing right now an assault on traditional marriage,” he added. Among the GOP’s crowded 2016 class, only a handful of potential contenders — Cruz and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, among them — aggressively criticized the court’s decision. Both will need support from religious conservatives to fuel a potential presidential bid. “It is shocking that many elected officials, attorneys and judges think that a court ruling is the ‘final word,’” Huckabee said. “It most certainly is not.” The pair was in the minority among possible GOP presidential hopefuls. Highprofile Republican governors from Wisconsin to Indiana suggested the debate was over — in their states, at least. “For us, it’s over in Wisconsin,” said Republican Gov. Scott Walker, whose state’s appeal was among those the court declined. “To me, I’d rather be talking in the fu-

and run. Surrrpriiise! Of course, the fecklessness of our allies in Iraq had somehow escaped their attention too. That was just after Vladimir Putin astonished our befuddled n a t i o n a l - s e c u r i t y Bob Franken folks with his invasion of Crimea. Oh, the hand-wringing that has caused. Of course, there are those sudden crises that can’t fairly be blamed on incompetence or someone’s cynical desire to promote a candidate or agenda. Obviously, the Ebola scourge that is still spreading is a case in point. The fact that we aren’t confident in the assurances that it isn’t contagious except by direct contact or that it can be contained here reflects a well-deserved skepticism about our various institutions, public and private, that has infected our society as a whole. It’s much like the fence jumper who recently got inside the White House and has wreaked havoc with the Secret Service by exposing a lot of dirty laundry about an agency we wanted to believe was solidly heroic but apparently is as bumbling as the rest of us. What’s really become a surprise is the discovery that someone or other is fulfill-

ing the assignment he or she was paid to do. Even the finest political manipulator couldn’t have arranged for a Hurricane Sandy to spread her destruction in the days before the 2012 election. But it sure affected the results. The impression that the Obama administration was competently doing its job in the days after the storm and the fact that a Republican governor, Chris Christie, was saying so turned Mother Nature’s surprise into a cakewalk at the polls for Mr. Obama over Mitt Romney. On the other side of the ledger, the Bush administration’s economic collapse in 2008 just before the election and the confused reaction to it from GOP candidate John McCain most likely propelled Barack Obama into the White House the first time around. So, we may be making too much of the contrived October surprise where some ohso-clever operative creates a sensation that catapults a candidate to Election Day success. Let’s face it: Most of these significant moments simply happen. The guys who pull the strings in the races are just as likely to get tangled up as the rest of us. Any event that suddenly works in their favor is usually news to them. The truth is, there’s probably just one thing that we can believe in, and that’s a healthy disbelief. Which, by now, is no surprise. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Court decision reignites debate within GOP

Classic Doonesbury, 1978

AP News Extra ture now more about our jobs plan and our plan for the future of the state,” Walker continued. “I think that’s what matters to the kids. It’s not this issue.” The court’s decision effectively raises the number of states where same-sex marriage is legal from 19 to 30, meaning as many as 60 percent of Americans now live in states where gay and lesbian people can marry. A decade ago, President George W. Bush won re-election in part by supporting ballot initiatives in several states seeking a constitutional ban on gay marriage, boosting turnout among motivated conservative voters. Support for legal same-sex marriage has grown swiftly in the years since, and several polls have found that majorities of Americans are in favor of legal recognition for gay marriages. But for religious conservatives who hold outsized influence in Republican presidential contests in the early voting states of Iowa and South Carolina, the issue resonates. “If you’re a candidate for president who refuses to oppose homosexual marriage, I don’t see how you get elected,” said Steve Scheffler, a Republican national committeeman from Iowa. “You’re going to get clobbered.” Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, issued a warning for anyone eyeing the 2016 presidential contest: “There will be no avoiding this issue.” That’s exactly what some Republicans contemplating presidential bids would like to do. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pleaded ignorance when asked about the court’s decision Monday at a campaign appearance in Connecticut. “I haven’t had a chance to read it,” said

Christie, who drew fire from cultural conservatives last year when he declined to appeal a court ruling legalizing gay marriage in his state. “I don’t give comments based on headlines.” Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said in a statement he was disappointed by the ruling, adding that while he believes “in the importance of traditional marriage,” he would abide by the rule of law. “People are free to disagree with court decisions but we are not free to disobey them,” he said. At an event in Washington, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, whose state has an active case that was not among those considered Monday by the Supreme Court, had a muted reaction. “I continue to believe in traditional marriage, but the ball’s certainly in the court’s court,” he said. Other would-be Republican White House candidates have demonstrated how tricky the politics of gay marriage can be. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio supports marriage between a man and a woman, but has urged tolerance for gay couples. He also spoke out in July about what he called a “growing intolerance” against people who oppose same-sex marriage. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman announced his support for same-sex marriage in 2013. The senator’s son is gay.

Translators scramble to meet election deadline

FAIRBANKS (AP) — Translators are scrambling this week to meet a Friday deadline ordered by a federal judge to provide outreach and poll workers with election materials and voting information that have been translated into Yup’ik or Gwich’in. Gwich’in translators Allan Hayton and Marilyn Savage in Fairbanks are finding the work challenging, KUAC reported. “Some of it is very technical language, legal jargon,” Hayton said. But Hayton and Savage are up to the task, having translated other materials, including Shakespeare, according to Hayton. “Marilyn and I worked last year translating King Lear into Gwich’in, so we’re used to difficult challenges but we’re happy to do this.” Adding to the complexity

of the work, there are no direct Gwich’in translations for some words appearing on the November ballot, such as ‘commerce’ and ‘marijuana.’ University of Alaska Fairbanks linguistics professor Gary Holton said translating election materials is a big undertaking because Gwich’in cannot describe some of the concepts culturally. “If you were going to design a language that’s as different from English as possible, you would probably come up with Gwich’in,” Holton said. The U.S. District Court ruling last month stemmed from a lawsuit brought by several Native villages that alleged the state failed to provide accurate, complete translations of voting materials in Native languages. The state argued it had taken reasonable steps to implement standards for voting materials

for non-English speakers. The state, among other things, must make available on its website translations of election material in Yup’ik dialects and provide to outreach workers translations of such things as candidate statements, initiative summaries and pro and con statements on the initiatives. The Division of Elections also is to provide translations to the plaintiffs in the case to get their input.

An enterovirus outbreak and the impending influenza season mean taking precautions to avoid the spread of sickness is important, especially in the most vulnerable populations. “This is the time of year when cold virus activity starts picking up again,” said Dr. Michael Cooper, infectious disease program manager for the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. “And influenza season is just around the corner.” State health officials are urging Alaskans to be proactive in preventing the spread of respiratory viruses. Though there have been no confirmed or suspected cases of Enterovirus D68 in Alaska, Cooper said “it would not be surprising if the virus is detected in Alaska soon.” While a mix of enteroviruses circulates every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, EVD68 has been reported in numbers much greater than in other years, and some of the reported cases have been severe. Mild symptoms may include fever, runny nose, sneezing, coughing and aches. More severe symptoms may include wheezing and difficulty breathing.

‘This is the time of year when cold virus activity starts picking up again.’ — Dr. Michael Cooper, Department of Health and Social Services Infants and children through teenagers are most at risk for EV-D68, “because they do not yet have immunity from previous exposures to these viruses,” the CDC reports. “We believe this is also true for EV-D68. Adults can get infected with enteroviruses, but they are more likely to have no symptoms or mild symptoms.” A New Jersey boy, 4-yearold Eli Waller, was determined to have died of EV-68 by a medical examiner, according to the Associated Press. Two children at St. Louis Children’s Hospital are being treated for muscle weakness or possible paralysis which may be linked to EV-D68, the AP also reported. More than 500 people across the country, mostly children, have fallen ill due to the virus. There is no specific treatment for people with respiratory illness caused by EV-D68, a CDC publication reads. Mild symptoms can be treated with

over-the-counter cold medicines, but those experiencing severe symptoms may need to be hospitalized. There are no antiviral medications currently available for people who become infected with EV-D68. While it is a small population who have reported severe symptoms, the best course of action if symptoms surface is to stay home to keep from spreading illness and to seek a doctor if symptoms become severe. The recommended precautions are to get a flu shot early; wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds (a more effective method than gel-based hand sanitizers); avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands; avoid kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick; disinfect frequently touched surfaces, including toys and doorknobs; cover coughs and sneezes; and stay home from daycare, school or work if exhibiting symptoms. Children and adults with asthma should be extra-cautious, assuring their asthma is under control and seeing a doctor if they develop a respiratory infection and asthma worsens.

Around the World Ebola evades Europe’s defenses, Madrid scrambles to contain virus; orders dog killed MADRID — Health officials in Spain rushed to contain the Ebola virus Tuesday after it got past Europe’s defenses, quarantining four people at a Madrid hospital where a nursing assistant got infected and persuading a court that the woman’s dog must die. The first case of Ebola transmitted outside Africa, where a months-long outbreak has killed more than 3,400 people, is raising questions about how prepared wealthier countries really are. Health workers complained Tuesday that they lack the training and equipment to handle the virus, and the allimportant tourism industry was showing its anxiety. Medical officials in the United States, meanwhile, are retraining hospital staff and fine-tuning infection control procedures after the mishandling of a critically ill Liberian man in Texas, who might have exposed many others to the virus after being sent away by a hospital. In Africa, the U.S. military was preparing to open a 25bed mobile hospital catering to health care workers with Ebola, before building a total of 17 promised 100-bed Ebola Treatment Units in Liberia. The virus has taken an especially devastating toll on health care workers, sickening or killing more than 370 in the hardest-hit countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, where doctors and nurses were already in short supply.

US-led airstrikes have hardly dented Islamic State’s gains in Iraq, Syria BAGHDAD — After two months, the U.S.-led aerial campaign in Iraq has hardly dented the core of the Islamic State group’s territory. The extremist fighters have melted into urban areas when needed to elude the threat, and they have even succeeded in taking new territory from an Iraqi army that still buckles in the face of militants. In neighboring Syria, days of airstrikes have been unable to stop militants on the verge of capturing a strategic town on the Turkish border. The limited results show the central weakness of the campaign: There is only so much that can be done from the air to defeat an extremist force that has swept over much of Iraq and Syria. The Islamic State fighters have proven elusive and flexible, able to reorganize to minimize the blows. And more importantly, there are almost no allied forces on the ground able to capitalize on the airstrikes and wrest back territory from the militants. The exception: Iraqi Kurdish fighters, the most effective forces in Iraq, have made some modest gains the past week. That only highlights how others have proven unable to do the same. The Iraqi military is undermined by corruption and command problems. A new Iraqi government has being trying to woo support from more Sunni tribesmen, whose fighters are seen as vital against the Sunni extremists, but so far there has not been a flood of support. In Syria, rebels supported by Washington are in no position to move against the extremists, and Syria’s Kurds are not as well armed as Iraq’s.

North Korea acknowledges labor camps for 1st time; observer says ‘modest step’ UNITED NATIONS — North Korea publicly acknowledged the existence of its labor camps for the first time Tuesday, an admission that appeared to come in response to a highly critical U.N. human rights report earlier this year. Diplomats for the reclusive, impoverished country also told reporters that a top North Korea official has visited the headquarters of the European Union and expressed interest in dialogue, with discussions on human rights expected next year. North Korea’s deputy U.N. ambassador Ri Tong Il said the secretary of his country’s ruling Workers’ Party had visited the EU, and that “we are expecting end of this year to open political dialogue between the two sides.” The human rights dialogue would follow. — The Associated Press

Nation Schools face bomb threats By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press

BOSTON — School and law enforcement officials in New England say they are dealing with an unusually high number of bomb threats that have forced the cancellation of classes just weeks into the new academic year. Nearly a dozen schools and colleges in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut have received the threats, forcing evacuations and cancellations in many of the schools this past week. Local school and law enforcement officials say they aren’t sure if they’re dealing with a coordinated effort or a number of copycats. But the sheer number of threats in such a short amount of time is concerning, they say. “Something unusual is taking place here,” said Thomas Scott, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents. “To have it at the very beginning of the school year and to have this

many is an anomaly.” He said school districts tend to see bomb threats throughout the school year, including around exam time in June. The communities of Bedford, Mass. and Bedford, New Hampshire were both forced to cancel classes at their high schools when they received threats on Oct. 1. Sandy Hook Elementary

School’s temporary home in Monroe, Connecticut, was also evacuated that day after receiving a bomb threat by phone, putting a community still reeling from the December 2012 massacre that killed 26 children and teachers on edge. And campus police at Harvard University tightened security over the weekend after hundreds of students and people

affiliated with the Ivy League school received an email threatening a mass shooting on campus. The latest threats came Monday when school officials in the affluent Boston suburb of Winchester cancelled high school classes after receiving an emailed threat and the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts was temporarily evacuated when police received a 911 call claiming there were multiple bombs on the western Massachusetts campus. Many of the threats remain under investigation. The FBI’s Boston office said Monday it is aware of the bomb threats and is offering assistance as needed but leaving local officials to take the lead in the investigations. Scott says the bomb threats are causing significant disruptions early in the school year, taking away from valuable class time, causing scheduling headaches for working parents and forcing schools to expend limited resources to cover staff and administrative costs.

Health law waivers: Too complicated to claim? By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Millions of Americans may qualify for waivers from the most unpopular part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. But getting that exemption could be an ordeal. Community groups are concerned about a convoluted process for applying for waivers from the law’s tax penalty on people who remain uninsured. Not everyone is complaining, however: Tax preparation companies are flagging it as a business opportunity. The law’s requirement that Americans carry health insurance remains contentious. Waivers were designed to ease the impact. But while some exemptions seem simple, others will require math calculations. Some involve mailing in supporting documents, such as copies of medical bills, police reports, obituaries, utility shut-off notices — even news articles. Two federal agencies have roles, each with its own waivers and time schedules. Some people will apply directly to the Internal Revenue Service when they file their 2014 tax returns next year. They’ll use a new

Form 8965. Others can start now and seek an exemption through HealthCare.gov. If it’s approved, they’ll get a number to put on their IRS form later on. It will all come to a head this tax-filing season. Hailed by Democrats as the fulfillment of historical aspirations for covering all Americans, the Affordable Care Act has turned out to have multiple issues. The debut of online insurance markets last fall became an embarrassment for the White House. It took the better part of two months to get the website working. Waivers are part of the law’s complex relationship with the tax system, a new area of potential complications just starting to emerge. “Many people are going to need help to file for an exemption,” said Zach Reat, director of work support initiatives for the Ohio Association of Foodbanks in Columbus. “There’s definitely the potential for people getting tripped up,” “If you are a do-it-yourself person who is going to try it on pen and paper, all I can say is, ‘God be with you,’” said Mark

Ciaramitaro, vice president of health care services at tax giant H&R Block. At Intuit, maker of TurboTax, software engineers and tax lawyers teamed up to create “Exemption Check,” a free online tool for people to see if they qualify. Charges apply later if the taxpayer files through TurboTax. “We have dug really deep into these exemptions,” said Sacha Adam, Intuit’s team leader. “I would say that it is complex,” he added. “That is where we get excited.” The requirement that individuals carry health insurance took effect this year, alongside the law’s major coverage expansion. Although an estimated 10 million people are no longer uninsured, “Obamacare” remains divisive in the congressional elections. Soon after election day, HealthCare.gov’s second open enrollment gets underway. From Nov. 15 to Feb. 15, people who don’t have access to job-based coverage can sign up for private insurance that is subsidized by tax credits. As open enrollment winds down, tax filing season will go into

high gear, people will start seeing the new connections between health care and taxes. Those who got too big a tax credit this year through HealthCare.gov will have their tax refunds reduced to pay it back. And those still uninsured will be scrambling to check out penalty waivers. Of the roughly 30 million to 40 million uninsured people, about 20 million are estimated to qualify for one or more exemptions. That includes people in the country illegally. The penalty is sometimes dismissed as puny, just $95. But that’s an over-simplification. The penalty is actually the greater of two numbers, $95 per person in 2014, or 1 percent of household income above the threshold for filing taxes. Take a hypothetical single woman who makes $25,000 a year as a call-center operator and was uninsured all of 2014. She would owe a penalty of $148.50. (1 percent of $14,850 — her income above the 2014 tax filing threshold, which is $10,150.) For 2015, the penalty will rise to the greater of 2 percent of income, or $325.

Often pesky beavers put to work restoring streams By PHUONG LE Associated Press

ELLENSBURG, Wash. — In a heavily irrigated Washington valley where fish, crops and people often compete for water, biologists are turning to one of nature’s best engineers to help restore streams and salmon habitat. Landowners typically trap or kill beavers that block irrigation canals and flood homes in the Yakima Valley. But one project is relocating the troublemaking creatures to the headwaters of the Yakima River, where their talent for chewing willows and constructing lodges can be put to good use. “Beavers can be really destructive, but in the right places, they can be good ecosystem engineers,” said Mel Babik, project manager with the Mid-Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group, a nonprofit that works to restore salmon populations. In Washington, Oregon, Utah and other parts of the West, beavers increasingly are being used as an effective, lowcost tool to help restore rivers.

Beaver dams, ponds and other structures add complexity to an ecosystem, slowing the flow of water and sediment downstream. Salmon and other fish take advantage of pockets of slow water to rest, feed and hide. Meanwhile, beaver ponds help store water on the surface as well as underground. “The water stored underground comes out during a time of year when fish need cold water and farmers need it, too,” said William Meyer, who coordinates the Yakima Basin water resources plan for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. Decades, even centuries ago, it wasn’t uncommon for people to enlist the help of beavers, but interest has been renewed as communities confront declining salmon runs and water supply issues. In the 1930s, people were realizing streams and rivers without beavers were struggling, said Joe Wheaton, a geomorphologist and assistant professor at Utah State University who has studied the beaver’s role in accelerating river resto-

In this Sept. 12 photo, a young beaver looks out from a cage at a holding facility in Ellensburg, Wash.

ration. A 1949 article in Popular Mechanics described how Idaho wildlife officials relocated beavers to mountain streams by parachuting them in. “People are looking for innovative new things to try, and even if it’s not new, we refer to

it as cheap and cheerful restoration,” Wheaton said. The Yakima Beaver Project is modeled after a similar one in north-central Washington’s Methow Valley. Using a grant from state salmon-recovery money, biolo-

gists take calls from landowners with beaver problems in urban and agricultural areas. If the animals can’t be managed on site, the group moves them to tributaries in the upper Yakima River. The group has relocated 126 beavers over four years. About half stick around and build dams near where they were transplanted. Others are killed by predators or return to where they were trapped. One beaver swam 40 miles to reunite with his mate. Trapping and killing beavers is legal in Washington, and between 1,000 and 2,000 are trapped each year, state officials said. The nocturnal mammals build structures to flood areas so they can protect themselves from predators. In one case in the Yakima Valley, a beaver family built a 13-foot-tall dam that flooded a resident’s home. The landowner was unable to dismantle the structure, so Babik, the project manager, and her team trapped the dad and six kits. The beavers were kept at a holding facility on the Yakama

Nation for several days and then driven to a Yakima River tributary. From there, Babik, interns from Central Washington University and others carried the beavers in heavy cages about half-mile on a dirt trail. Some group members had gone in the day before and built a temporary lodge in the small stream to help the family get started. They opened the cage doors and, one by one, urged the beavers into the lodge, occasionally blocking the opening with their bodies so the beavers would stay inside. One kit broke free and swam downstream. Eventually, the others escaped as well. “Sometimes they bolt ... and you never see them again,” Babik said. But 15 minutes later, the beavers reappeared at an old beaver lodge about 100 feet downstream. There, they could be seen grooming themselves and each other and swimming up and into the lodge. They also could be heard chewing. “They’re doing what wild beavers do. They feel safe,” Babik said. “This is a good sign.”

Wal-Mart plans to eliminate health benefits for some part-timers By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to eliminate health insurance coverage for some of its part-time U.S. employees in a move aimed at controlling rising health care costs of the nation’s largest private employer. Wal-Mart told The Associated Press that starting Jan. 1, it will no longer offer health insurance to employees who work less than an average of 30 hours a week. The move affects 30,000 employees, or about 5 percent of Wal-Mart’s total part-time workforce, but comes after the company already had scaled back the number of parttime workers who were eligible for health insurance coverage since 2011. The announcement follows similar decisions by Target, Home Depot and others to completely eliminate health

insurance benefits for parttime employees. It also comes a day after Wal-Mart said it is teaming up with an online health insurance agency called DirectHealth.com to help customers shop for health insurance plans. “We had to make some tough decisions,” Sally Welborn, Wal-Mart’s senior vice president of benefits, told The Associated Press. Welborn said she didn’t know how much Wal-Mart will save by dropping parttime employees, but added that the company will use a third-party organization to help part-time workers find insurance alternatives: “We are trying to balance the needs of (workers) as well as the costs of (workers) as well as the cost to Wal-Mart.” The announcement comes after Wal-Mart said far more U.S. employees and their families are enrolling in its health

care plans than it had expected following rollout of the Affordable Care Act, which requires big companies to offer coverage to employees working 30 hours or more a week or face a penalty. It also requires most Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty. Wal-Mart, which employs about 1.4 million full- and parttime U.S. workers, says about 1.2 million Wal-Mart workers and family members combined now participate in its health care plan. And that has had an impact on Wal-Mart’s bottom line. Wal-Mart now expects the impact of higher health care costs to be about $500 million for the current fiscal year, or about $170 million higher than the original estimate of about $330 million that it gave in February. But Wal-Mart is among the

last of its peers to cut health insurance for some part-time workers. In 2013, 62 percent of large retail chains didn’t offer health care benefits to any of its part-time workers, according to Mercer, a global consulting company. That’s up from 56 percent in 2009. “Retailers who offer parttime benefits are more of an exception than the rule,” says Beth Umland, director of research for health and benefits at Mercer. Wal-Mart has been scaling back eligibility for parttime workers over the past few years, though. In 2011, Wal-Mart said it was cutting backing eligibility of its coverage of part-time workers working less than 24 hours a week. And then in 2013, it announced a threshold of 30 hours or under. Taking into account the lat-

est move, Wal-Mart declined to say what percentage of total part-time workers will not have company-sponsored health care coverage starting next year. Wal-Mart, like most big companies, also is increasing premiums, and out-of-pocket costs that employees pay, to counter rising health care costs. Wal-Mart told The Associated Press that it’s raising premiums for all of its fulltime and part-time workers: For a basic plan, of which 40 percent of its workers are enrolled, the premiums will go

up to $21.90 per pay period, up from $18.40, starting Jan. 1. Wal-Mart employees and their dependents will pay slightly more out-of-pocket for their care next year because the retailer has lowered the percentage of the bill it will cover for doctor visits, tests, and other services to 75 percent from 80 percent after the deductible is paid. But Wal-Mart spokesman Randy Hargrove also noted that the company hasn’t changed the maximum amounts that people will have to pay out of pocket annually.

Turkey: Syrian town poised to fall to militants By RYAN LUCAS and LEFTERIS PITARAKIS Associated Press

MURSITPINAR, Turkey — Islamic State fighters were poised to capture a strategic Syrian town on the Turkish border, Turkey’s president warned Tuesday, even as Kurdish forces battled to expel the extremists from their footholds on the outskirts. The outgunned Kurdish fighters struggling to defend Kobani got a small boost from a series of U.S.-led airstrikes against the militants that sent huge columns of black smoke into the sky. Limited coalition strikes have done little to blunt the Islamic State group’s threeweek offensive, and its fighters have relentlessly shelled the town in preparation for a final assault. Warning that the aerial campaign alone was not enough to halt the Islamic State group’s advance, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for greater cooperation with the Syrian opposition, which is fighting both the extremists and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad. “Kobani is about to fall,” Erdogan told Syrian refugees in the Turkish town of Gaziantep, near the border. “We asked for three things: One, for a no-fly zone to be created; Two, for a secure zone parallel to the region to be declared; and for the moderate opposition in Syria and Iraq to be trained and equipped.” Erdogan’s comments did not signal a shift in Turkey’s position: He has said repeatedly that Ankara wants to see a more comprehensive strategy for Syria before it commits to military involvement in the U.S.-led coalition. Turkish tanks and other ground forces have been sta-

tioned along the border within a few hundred yards of the fighting in Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab, but have not intervened. And while Turkey said just days ago that it wouldn’t let Kobani fall, there’s no indication the government is prepared to make a major move to save it. Since mid-September, the militant onslaught has forced some 200,000 people to flee Kobani and surrounding villages, and activists say more than 400 people have been killed in the fighting. It has also brought the violence of Syria’s civil war to Turkey’s doorstep. Capturing Kobani would give the Islamic State group, which already rules a huge stretch of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border, a direct link between its positions in the Syrian province of Aleppo and its stronghold of Raqqa, to the east. It would also give the group full control of a large stretch of the Turkish-Syrian border. Syrian Kurds scoffed at the rhetoric coming out of Ankara. They say that not only are the Turks not helping, that they are actively hindering the defense of Kobani by preventing Kurdish militiamen in Turkey from crossing the border into the town to help in the fight. “We are besieged by Turkey, it is not something new,” said Ismet Sheikh Hassan, the Kurdish defense chief for the Kobani region. Relations between Turkey and Syria’s Kurds have long been strained, in large part because Ankara believes the Kurdish Democratic Union, or PYD — the leading Syrian Kurdish political party — is affiliated with the Kurdish PKK movement that has waged a long and bloody insurgency in southeast Turkey. In towns across Turkey,

A Turkish forces armored vehicle patrols the border road in Mursitpinar, on the outskirts of Suruc, as fighting in nearby Kobani, Syria intensified between Syrian Kurds and militants of Islamic State group, at the Turkey-Syria border, Tuesday. Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab and its surrounding areas have been under attack since mid-September, with militants capturing dozens of nearby Kurdish villages.

Kurdish protesters clashed with police Tuesday, while Kurdish demonstrators forced their way into the European Parliament in Brussels — part of Europewide demonstrations demanding more help for the besieged Kurdish militiamen struggling to defend Kobani. A 25-yearold protester in Turkey was killed. Despite Erdogan’s dire assessment of the battle for Kobani, the front lines were largely stable despite heavy clashes Tuesday. Kurdish forces managed to push back Islamic State

militants from some neighborhoods on the eastern edges of town, hours after the extremists stormed into the areas, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Still, two black jihadi flags fluttered from a building and a small hill on the eastern outskirts. Fighting also raged at the southwestern entrance to town, where the militants have seized control of a few buildings, including a hospital, said Observatory director Rami Abdurrahman. From the Turkish side of the

border, plumes of smoke from Islamic State shelling could be seen rising above the rooftops Tuesday, while long bursts of heavy gunfire frequently erupted followed by brief lulls. The beleaguered Kurdish militiamen defending Kobani received some support overnight and Tuesday from the American-led coalition, which carried out six airstrikes against Islamic State militants around the town, destroying four armed vehicles, damaging a tank and killing fighters, the U.S. military said. An Associated Press journalist on the Turkish side of the border heard the roar of planes early Tuesday followed by massive explosions and large plumes of smoke billowing just west of Kobani. The U.S.-led coalition has conducted similar airstrikes over the past two weeks near Kobani in a bid to help Kurdish forces defend the town. But the number has been limited, and Kurds have appealed for more help in the fight. “The airstrikes should be intensified,” said Idriss Nassan, deputy head of Kobani’s foreign relations committee. “There should be strikes at night and during the day and weapons should be given to People’s Protection Units (Kurdish militia) that could be considered part of the international coalition to fight terrorism.” Syria’s Kurds have struggled

to gain the sort of Western backing that their brethren in Iraq enjoy, and the aerial campaign around Kobani has been far more limited than the airstrikes against Islamic State fighters attacking Iraqi Kurdish areas. The U.S. and its allies also have not agreed to arm Syrian Kurds like they have Iraqi Kurds. The new U.N. envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, called for an urgent international response to the Islamic State group’s assault on Kobani, saying the global community can’t sustain another city falling to the extremist group. “The world, all of us, will regret deeply if ISIS is able to take over a city which has defended itself with courage but is close to not being able to do so. We need to act now,” Mistura said, using an alternate name for the Islamic State group. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has spoken with Turkey Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu twice since Monday to discuss the situation in Kobani and Turkey’s broader role in the coalition. The United States and five Arab allies launched an aerial campaign against the Islamic State in Syria on Sept. 23 with the aim of rolling back and ultimately crushing the extremist group. The U.S. has been bombing Islamic State targets in neighboring Iraq since August.

Israel fires into Lebanon after Hezbollah attack By ARON HELLER Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Israel fired toward Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon on Tuesday after the Shiite guerrillas set off an explosion along the tense border that wounded two Israeli soldiers, in the most serious incident between the two countries in months. The Israeli military said soldiers were on a patrol when an explosive device went off. Israeli troops then found a second explosive device on the Israeli side of the border, which was detonated by Israeli bomb squads. Israeli forces then responded by firing artillery toward two Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. On its Al Manar TV station,

Hezbollah issued a statement claiming responsibility for the blast, saying it targeted an Israeli patrol. The admission marked a rare instance of an open clash between the two bitter enemies and a stark flare-up after years of relative calm. Israel and Lebanon have been in a state of war for six decades, but the border area has remained largely quiet since a month-long war in the summer of 2006 between Israel and Hezbollah. There have been sporadic outbursts of violence since then. Israel suspects that Hezbollah may be looking to flex its muscles along the border to deflect attention away from its struggles in fighting against Islamic rebels in Syria. Israeli officials said Tuesday’s attack

‘The Lebanese government and Hezbollah are directly liable for this blatant breach of Israel’s sovereignty. The IDF responded to the unprovoked aggression against its forces and will continue to operate in order to maintain the safety of the northern border of Israel.’ — Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, spokesman for Israeli Defense Forces marked an escalation, but they did not expect it to devolve into an all-out conflict. “The Lebanese government and Hezbollah are directly liable for this blatant breach of Israel’s sovereignty,” said Lt.

Col. Peter Lerner, a spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces. “The IDF responded to the unprovoked aggression against its forces and will continue to operate in order to maintain the safety of the northern border of

Israel.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel has “proven that we will respond strongly against any attempts to harm us.” The incident comes two days after Israeli soldiers opened fire after what they said was a border breach in the Shebaa farms area. Lebanon’s military countered that one of its army outposts came under Israeli fire, and one soldier was lightly wounded. Fearful of provoking Israel, Hezbollah has rarely taken responsibility for attacks since the 2006 war. The group is heavily involved in Syria’s civil war, fighting alongside President Bashar Assad’s forces. The attack against Israel comes two days after Hezbollah had at

least eight fighters killed when members of Syria’s al-Qaidalinked Nusra Front attacked the group’s positions near the Syria border. Hezbollah officials have said their involvement in Syria does not affect their readiness to fight Israel if a war breaks out. U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Tuesday’s incident violated a U.N. Security Council resolution that was adopted to end the 2006 war. He said the U.N. force in Lebanon, which has been in place for decades, has launched an investigation and contacted both sides to urge restraint. “Such actions are in contravention of efforts to reduce tensions and establish a stable and secure environment in southern Lebanon,” Dujarric said.

LED there be light: 3 scientists share Nobel for blue diode By MALCOLM RITTER and KARL RITTER Associated Press

STOCKHOLM — An invention that promises to revolutionize the way the world lights its homes and offices — and already helps create the glowing screens of mobile phones, computers and TVs— earned a Nobel Prize on Tuesday for two Japanese scientists and a Japanese-born American. By inventing a new kind of light-emitting diode, or LED, they overcame a crucial roadblock for creating white light far more efficiently than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. Now LEDs are pervasive and experts say their use will only grow. “Incandescent light bulbs lit the 20th century; the 21st cen-

tury will be lit by LED lamps,” the Nobel committee said in announcing its award to Japanese researchers Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano and naturalized U.S. citizen Shuji Nakamura. Their work, done in the early 1990s, led to a fundamental transformation of technology for illumination, the committee said. And when the three arrive in Stockholm to collect their awards in early December, “they will hardly fail to notice the light from their invention glowing in virtually all the windows of the city.” Nakamura, 60, is a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Akasaki, 85, is a professor at Meijo University and Nagoya University in Japan, while Amano, 54, is also at Nagoya. Akasaki and Amano made their inventions while

working at Nagoya, while Nakamura was working separately at the Japanese company Nichia Chemicals. At a press conference, Nakamura said he is “happy to see that my dream of LED lighting has become a reality. Nowadays we can buy energy-efficient light bulbs in the supermarket and help reduce energy use. I hope this helps to reduce global warming too,” he said, reading from a prepared statement. Asked earlier if he realized the importance of his research early on, he told reporters, “Nobody can make a cellphone without ... my invention.” Akasaki told a nationallytelevised news conference in Japan that he had faced skepticism about his research bearing fruit. “But I never felt that way,” he said. “I was just doing

what I wanted to do.” Before their work, scientists had long been able to produce red and green light with LEDs. But they needed a blue LED as well to make white light, a goal sought for about 30 years. The three new Nobel laureates created blue LEDs. It’s “a fundamental invention that is rapidly changing the way we bring light to every corner of the home, the street and the workplace,” H. Frederick Dylla, the executive director and CEO of the American Institute of Physics, said in a statement. For illuminating schools, homes and offices, “it’s quite possible this will change everything. All the light sources could easily become blue-LEDbased light sources,” said Mark Rea, director of the Lighting Research Center at the Rens-

selaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Nadarajah Narendran, director of research at the center, estimated the share of illumination by LED lights in homes, offices, streets and industries is approaching 10 percent in the United States. Within five years, he said, that fraction will probably exceed 30 percent as prices come down. People can already buy LED lights for their homes at a fairly affordable price, he said. In poor countries, such lights are replacing alternatives like kerosene lanterns, he said. “It’s touched (people) from the poor to the rich in a very short time frame,” he said. The Nobel committee noted that for people not supplied by power grids, LED lamps may be feasible to use with cheap

solar power because they consume so little energy. The committee also said the efficiency of LEDs helps save the Earth’s resources because about one-fourth of world electricity consumption is used for lighting. Not all reactions to the prize were laudatory. Many colleagues of Nick Holonyak, a retired professor from the University of Illinois who invented the red LED in 1962, have long said his work was unjustly overlooked by the Nobel committee. In the past, Holonyak, now 85, has said the award was far less important to him than the work. But on Tuesday, Holonyak said the work done by the new winners was built on achievements by himself and dozens of others who worked with him.

SoHi netters take care of Nikiski with sweep By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Nikiski volleyball squad incurred a 3-set sweep at the hands of Soldotna — a school that is in a different conference and class — Tuesday night at Nikiski High School, but the words of SoHi coach Sheila Kupferschmid had Nikiski coach Stacey Segura feeling a lot better afterwards. After defeating the Bulldogs with game scores of 25-22, 25-15 and 2517, Kupferschmid said that Nikiski is a much-improved team, after seeing what the Bulldogs threw at them earlier in the year. “I’m very grateful to hear that,” Segura said. “I know my team’s gotten better, but it’s nice to hear that from an opponent.” After the two teams met early in the season, Kupferschmid said Tuesday’s match not only showed to her how

strong Nikiski is, but more importantly how strong her own team is in advance of this weekend’s roadtrip for a threeday swing against the “Valley teams” — Wasilla, Colony and Palmer. “We have a lot of work ahead, and I wish I could have more practices, but we don’t,” Kupferschmid said. “Whenever we can have matches like this, game situations, it’s good.” Soldotna boosted its overall record to 7-2 overall, while Nikiski dropped to 7-5. Both schools fared well over the weekend while on the road. Soldotna split with Northern Lights Conference opponent Kodiak, winning the match that counts towards the standings, while Nikiski swept Bethel on its own court. “I told the girls after the last game against Soldotna, you guys have something to prove to them,” Segura said. “You’re either going to sit down

and lay a goose egg or you’re going to go out there and play better than last time.” Nikiski’s defensive work helped keep all three games close, as libero Laura Hufford’s 14 digs led the team. Teammate Rachel Thompson provided 13 assists and four kills, Ayla Pitt had three kills and three blocks, and Lauren O’Brien added an ace. Senior Haley Miller bolstered the Stars with a hot serving game, helping SoHi dig out of deficits in the final two sets. Miller ended the night with six service points and two kills. “I like her mindset,” Kupferschmid said. “She’s an athlete, and she performs like an athlete. “We were in a rut, and I think her run changed momentum and carried us through.” SoHi libero Alex Ashe provided 20 digs, 10 service aces and four service aces, Hayley Ramsell had seven kills

and five digs, Bailey Rosin notched eight digs and four kills, and Skylar Shaw had 10 digs, six service points and five kills. After winning the first set by a scant three points, SoHi trailed early in both of the final two sets. In the second one, Nikiski streaked out to a quick 5-0 lead, then moved it to 10-6 with some tough play at the net. “I didn’t want to give the girls anything huge to focus on against Soldotna, because I knew they were more advanced and the offense is faster,” Segura said. Segura said the importance of performing as a unit and communicating was paramount against a Class 4A school like Soldotna. “They can definitely piece you apart,” Segura said. “They’re good enough that balls will drop in between you and you don’t really know where

it’ll go, so I wanted to make sure we focused on the team and not so much ourselves.” Facing a four-point deficit, the Stars reeled off 10 straight points to grab a six-point advantage, a number of those coming on serves from Miller that Nikiski was unable to return. The closest the Bulldogs got to the Stars from there was 17-15 after Hufford sent out a service ace, but SoHi finished off with eight straight points to grab the win, aided by a few nasty kill points from Lindsey Wong. Nikiski found itself leading with 10 points once again in the third set, but Soldotna rallied back to take the lead with eight straight points, and closed with another strong serving performance by Wong. With the victory in hand, Soldotna will see its next competition Thursday night at Wasilla, while Nikiski will travel to Homer next Tuesday.

Cards, Giants move to NLCS Giants beat Washington, Cardinals top Dodgers in 3-2 wins R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Adams could barely contain his enthusiasm — and he didn’t really try, either. He thrust both arms in the air while still in the batter’s box and added a couple of big hops to his home run trot as he approached first base. A stunned Clayton Kershaw, bent over at the waist with his hands on his knees, watched from the mound as the long drive off Big City’s bat propelled St. Louis to a fourth straight NL Championship Series. “Some people are calling it the Big City Leap,” Adams said. “I was just super-excited, I didn’t know what I was doing ... I knew I was jumping for joy.” The Cardinals tagged Kershaw in the seventh inning for the second straight time, riding

Adams’ go-ahead, three-run homer to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday for a 3-1 win in the best-of-five Division Series. “I don’t think I touched the ground the whole way around the bases,” Adams said. “Definitely the highlight of my career. ... I will never, ever forget this.” Neither will Kershaw. The Cardinals sent the Dodgers home for the second postseason in a row with a win over Kershaw. Last year it was in Game 6 of the NLCS. “The season ended and I was a big part of the reason why,” Kershaw said. “I can’t really put it into words, Just bad deja vu all over again.” The NLCS starts Saturday in St. Louis, with the Cardinals hosting San Francisco in a rematch of 2012 won by the Giants. Trevor Rosenthal allowed two runners in the ninth be-

fore getting Carl Crawford on a grounder for a game-ending forceout for his third save of the series. At AT&T Park in San Francisco, fans cheered when the rival Dodgers were eliminated. “It was awesome, everything we did throughout that game,” starter Shelby Miller said. “It was a heck of a game and a lot of fun, I know that.” An overwhelming favorite to win his third NL Cy Young Award in four years, Kershaw’s October resume is a wreck. Kershaw dropped to 1-5 with a 5.12 ERA in 11 postseason games, including three relief appearances early in his career. He has lost four straight starts to St. Louis over the past two postseasons. “I’ve had success against them, too,” Kershaw said. “It just seems like one inning gets me every time. And obviously that’s not success.”

While the steady Cardinals advanced to their ninth NLCS in 15 years, the defeat was a huge disappointment for the NL West champion Dodgers, who finished the regular season with a $256 million payroll that was $40 million higher than any other team. Los Angeles remains without a pennant since winning the 1988 World Series. “It’s awful,” catcher A.J. Ellis said. “It’s devastating. It just kind of rehashes those old memories.” Manager Don Mattingly wasn’t about to second-guess leaving Kershaw in the game, especially with a bullpen that’s foundered. He wanted the lefty to get three more outs. “It goes back to the same question: Is there anybody better, even on short rest, and even where he was at that point?” Mattingly said. Kershaw started on three See WINS, page A-11

NEW YORK (AP) — NFL owners will meet Wednesday to discuss the league’s personal conduct policy, vote on the sale of the Buffalo Bills and look at further international play. These are critical meetings for the owners, with Commissioner Roger Goodell under fire for his handling of the Ray Rice case, and with several highprofile player arrests involving domestic abuse. Although the owners have supported Goodell remaining in the job, they also have been embarrassed by loud criticism of the league’s recent missteps. “We need to limit this,” Texans owner Robert McNair said of misbehavior by players, “so punishment is not an issue.” The discussion of social responsibility and the personal conduct policy initiatives will overshadow approval of the purchase of the Bills by Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula. That transaction is considered certain, with threequarters of the teams needing to vote in favor of the Pegulas. Owners will be updated on the Los Angeles stadium situation; TV ratings, attendance and fan interest. They also will receive reports on the league’s games in London — three this year for the first time, with two still to come. The NFL has an eye on adding more London games, perhaps as soon as next season. But the spotlight will be on steps the NFL is taking to educate everyone in the league on domestic violence and sexual assault and abuse. The owners will view a short video, and then will see about a 40-minute presentation by the league’s player engagement department about educating everyone in the NFL on the subjects. Heading into Wednesday’s meetings, Goodell sent a memo to the owners in which he explained why the personal conduct policy needs revamping. “For the past seven years, the personal conduct policy has brought credit to the league and to NFL players,” he wrote. “But

during that time, we did not sufficiently review the policy to keep it current and ensure that it properly reflected our values and those of our society. Our process for handling allegations of misconduct was not as well-established as it needed to be. We relied almost exclusively on law enforcement and the courts to investigate offenses and determine guilt. We did not set and adhere consistently enough to our own standards, and we allowed our disciplinary responses to fall below where they needed to be. Nowhere was this clearer than in the context of domestic violence and sexual assault.” These are the first league meetings since Goodell admitted he was wrong in giving Rice a two-game suspension for punching his then-fiancee in an elevator. Following a torrent of criticism, Goodell announced stiffer penalties for future domestic violence cases. After video of the punch was released, the Baltimore Ravens cut Rice and Goodell suspended him indefinitely. Rice has since appealed the suspension. Other abuse cases involving Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson, Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer and Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy also have been made public. All three are on an exempt list, suspended but still being paid. Among the personal conduct items to be addressed, according to Goodell’s memo: —”When an allegation of misconduct is made, to what extent should the league or clubs independently review and investigate the matter? Or should we continue to rely on law enforcement to do so? —”Is it appropriate to remove someone from the workplace prior to an adjudication? If so, when? In particular, should we establish a practice of ‘leave with pay,’ under which an employee charged with prohibited conduct is put on paid leave status until the charge has been resolved? And what should the parameters of such a ‘leave with pay’ status be ...? —”What is the process for See TALKS, page A-11

Bettman confirms no talks about adding NHL franchises IRA PODELL AP Hockey Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is flattered that North American cities without hockey teams are interested in adding one to their towns, but it just isn’t in the plans. Bettman isn’t quite sure what fuels the talk that the NHL is looking to widen the league beyond the current 30 franchises — he suggested perhaps slow news days in the summer. He is pleased with the health of the league, and there have been no internal discussions about adding teams. It doesn’t mean that it won’t happen down the road. “If we go through a formal expansion process, then we will have to evaluate that very question,” Bettman said Tuesday during an inter-

view with The Associated Press inside his Manhattan office. “What we are doing is continuing to listen to expressions of interest, and we’re pleased that there are lots of expressions of interest, but we haven’t and are not ready to deal with them in a very structured, formal way and make that decision.” Before any expansion discussions can be held, the NHL will have to decide how many teams is enough, and if adding others will water down the product. “That would require us to do an analysis we haven’t done,” Bettman said. “If you look around, there is no list on the wall ranking cities where we’re not. We’re listening. There is apparently a lot to listen to, but at this point that’s all we’re doing.” And now that the Coyotes are again firmly entrenched in Arizona, there is

no immediate risk of any team moving, either. “There is no reason to relocate,” Bettman said. “The 30 franchises have never been healthier, never been better owned, never been more stable.” But back in 2013, the Coyotes were in flux and a candidate to switch cities. A story in the Seattle Times said that the Coyotes were hours and one city council vote away from being sold and packed up to Seattle. The Seattle Times reported that if the Glendale City Council hadn’t voted 4-3 in favor of an arena lease agreement with IceArizona, buyers from Seattle were in position to buy and relocate the team the next day. Bettman disputed how close that transaction really was to coming to fruition. “I think that is a bit of an exaggeration,” he said. “We were at one point C

considering options, but it never got that close to anywhere, and Seattle wasn’t the only place that was talking to us. But it made for a good story in Seattle.” In the 1990s until the turn of the century, the NHL grew from 21 teams to 30 — the most recent additions being the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild in 2000. The last team to move was the Atlanta Thrashers, who relocated to Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 2011 and became the second generation of the Winnipeg Jets.

Crabb going to Rangers NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Rangers have acquired forward Joey Crabb from the Florida Panthers in a trade that opens up a roster spot for emerging teenage forward Anthony Duclair.

The Rangers are sending defenseman Steven Kampfer and forward Andrew Yogan to the Panthers in the deal announced Monday. This move allows the Rangers to keep the 19-year-old Duclair on the roster that will open the season Thursday at St. Louis. Each team can have a maximum of 50 contracts in the organization. Duclair, chosen as the Rangers’ top rookie in training camp, had a goal in both preseason games last week against Philadelphia, led the club with five points, and tied for the lead with three goals while playing in five of six games. The 31-year-old Crabb split last season between the Panthers and San Antonio of the AHL. In nine NHL games, he had just one assist. With San Antonio, Crabb had 15 goals and 14 assists.

days’ rest for the second time in his postseason career. He was dominant into the seventh, as he was in Game 1, but again started the inning with three straight hits. GIANTS 3, NATIONALS 2 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants are on another October roll in their every-other-year pattern of postseason success. Joe Panik scored the goahead run in the seventh inning on Aaron Barrett’s bases-loaded wild pitch, and the Giants edged the Washington Nationals 3-2 Tuesday night to return to the NL Championship Series. The wild-card Giants won 3-1 in the best-of-five Division Series by also scoring on a walk and a groundout. Hunter Pence turned in a defensive gem in right field that helped hold the Nationals at bay as San Francisco won for the 11th time in its last 12 postseason games. “It’s been a remarkable journey. I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Pence said. “If it was easy, it wouldn’t be as fun.” San Francisco travels to St. Louis for Game 1 on Saturday. It’s a rematch of the 2012 NLCS, when the Giants rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Cardinals on the way to their second World Series championship in three years. Santiago Casilla walked Bryce Harper with two outs in the ninth, then retired Wilson Ramos on a grounder to end it. Casilla was mobbed on the mound as fireworks shot off from the centerfield scoreboard. Harper splashed a tying home run into McCovey Cove in the

Promising to keep the franchise in Buffalo — honoring the

seventh, but Washington’s season ended with a third straight one-run defeat, including that excruciating 2-1 loss in 18 innings Saturday in Game 2. The Nationals’ offense never got on track, lacking the power that carried them to an NL East title and the best record in the league at 96-66. “It’s tender and it’s bitter and all of those things, but I’m proud of them,” rookie manager Matt Williams said. After his wild pitch snapped a 2-all tie, Barrett got set to intentionally walk Pablo Sandoval. But the right-hander sailed a toss way over the head of Ramos, who quickly retrieved the ball near the backstop. Ramos threw to Barrett covering the plate, where he tagged out a sliding Buster Posey. The call was upheld after a replay review of 1 minute, 57 seconds, denying San Francisco an insurance run. “It was just one of those weird plays where they ended up getting me,” Posey said. Just like a night earlier when Giants ace Madison Bumgarner’s one miscue cost his team the game, Barrett blew it this time. Pence produced the play of the night when he slammed his back into an archway on the right-field wall to rob Jayson Werth of extra bases in the sixth. Fans enjoying the game from the outside portwalk witnessed the catch from just behind Pence and broke into frenzied cheers. “That catch he made was unreal. It really brought momentum back in our favor,” Posey said. The very next inning, Pence could only watch as Harper hit a towering drive over the rightfield arcade and between two boats among a large group of kayakers in the cove. wishes of the team’s only previous owner, Ralph Wilson, who died in March, helped the Pegulas’ pursuit. Paying far more than market value pushed them to the front of the bidding. And on Wednesday, it should lead to confirmation of their ownership.

Peterson will plead not guilty to a charge of injury to a child. Peterson has said he never intended to harm his 4-year-old son by spanking him with a tree branch earlier this year. Prosecutor Phil Grant declined to comment Tuesday on whether the case could be settled without a trial. If convicted, Peterson faces up to two years in prison. Peterson was put on paid leave by the Vikings, using a special roster exemption from the NFL commissioner, a few days after the indictment. The chance of his case being resolved before the end of the season appears slim, but coach Mike Zimmer declined Tuesday to address speculation about Peterson’s return to the team in 2014. “Honestly, I want the best for Adrian, number one, OK?

a record-setting 64-yarder against Tennessee. The Lions have grown increasingly desperate for kicking help after rookie Nate Freese went 3 of 7 on field goals and Alex Henery went 1 of 5. Henery missed three field goals in Sunday’s 17-14 loss to Buffalo, including a 50-yarder that would have put Detroit ahead in the final minute.

because he said less government is better and that animal control should stay in the cities. Assembly member Brent Johnson sponsored the resolution to put animal rescue on the ballot and proposed a 0.02 mill rate to property owners outside of cities to generate about $95,000 annually. Kasilof voter Janice See said she thinks animal control and the “tiny bit of money” proposed to fund it is a good idea. Gene Diamond, of Sterling,

Ed Witbeck, a Kenai resident, voted for Jake Thompson who he said “is a family man.” He said Thompson knows what’s going on. While he technically hasn’t won yet, Stan Welles said he has accepted the numbers, which show him as the winner of the Sterling and Funny River district assembly seat with 48 percent of the votes. He celebrated Election Day with dinner at Louie’s Steak and Seafood Restaurant with supporters. He said planned to spend a quiet night at home with his wife Nikki playing Scrabble,

voted for animal rescue because he thinks the issue is a “little out of control.” He said the mill rate is a good way to fund it. Johnson previously said the Alaska State Troopers don’t have a mechanism for caring for rescued animals. If the assembly passes an ordinance to provide animal rescue, it likely would contract with an agency that would care for the pets rescued. Bill Smith introduced the idea of by-mail elections to the assembly, but it was postponed because the assembly decided to put it on the ballot via a resolution sponsored by assembly member Dale Bagley. During assembly meetings,

some members voiced their concerns about by-mail voting increasing the opportunity for voter fraud. Some voters also expressed similar fears. Briggs said he thinks it could lead to fraud and manipulation. “If (votes) are mailed in, I don’t know how (the borough) would control it,” Briggs, said. Alan Poyner, who voted at the Central Emergency Services K-Beach Fire Station, said people who are motivated to vote should go to the polls. Others simply enjoy going to the polls to vote. “It’s more personable,” said Shawn Reynolds.

He took his son, Alex Reynolds, to the polls to register to vote. Alex Reynolds said he is looking forward to voting and plans to research candidates and issues before going to the polls. Kasilof voter Will Richardson said he would vote by mail anytime. “There’s a lot of things we could do to save time, energy and effort,” he said. See said she thinks it could get more people to vote, which is a good thing. Peter Burden, of Soldotna, is in favor of voting by mail because he has a scooter and it takes him a lot of time to get to the polling site.

Smith introduced vote-bymail because he thought it would increase voter turnout and he previously said having the ballot and voter information pamphlet side-by-side will be helpful in casting informed votes. Originally Smith thought moving to a by-mail system would decrease election costs, but instead expenses are expected to increase by about $18,000 annually, according to a fiscal note. However, if turnout increases, elections would cost less per vote.

with one district left. However, when the third district — one that contains Knackstedt’s Barabara Drive neighborhood — the margin of votes narrowed. By press time Tuesday Knackstedt lead Boyle by 20 votes with just the absentee ballots remaining. He said Tim Navarre might have been more excited for him when the results

came in. “I though he was going to hit the ceiling,” Knackstedt said. “He gave me a hug. “A lot of what the council does is pay the bills,” he said. “It boils down to who I am, what I know and how I do things.” Boyle, who has been on the council since 2004, said he was surprised by the results, but said

one can never predict the Alaskan voter. He said Navarre and Knackstedt both seemed to be on the same page and worked together on the comprehensive plan that failed in a voter referendum last year. “Realistically that scares me to think the voters went with the two candidates who went against them (on the compre-

hensive plan).” Spann, 30, said she was more thrilled from the experience and receiving votes. “This was a great opportunity to learn and gain insight about the city,” she said. “I’m more thrilled people believed in me. Hopefully I sparked a lot of interest in new people getting involved in the future.”

but decided to accept the dinner invitation. He said he enjoyed his time campaigning and visiting with constituents. Welles is relatively new to his district and said he couldn’t have won without support from former assembly member Charlie Pierce. “I don’t like to count my chickens before they hatch,” Welles said. “I really appreciate the support and guidance I have received. After I got home I received four messages from current assembly members, which I thought was pretty neat.” Druce received 33 percent of the votes for the assembly seat. She said the area is unique with many different perspectives and Pierce’s support of Welles helped him to win. Druce said she wouldn’t

campaign any differently and would consider running again. For now she plans to stay involved as a concerned community member and she hopes there’s a “good mix” on the assembly to keep making the community a great place. “I have no regrets and wouldn’t do anything differently,” she said. “I’m grateful to everyone who helped me and kept me motivated.” She said she was disappointed that voter turnout was low — at 25 percent. Marty Anderson, who captured 18 percent of the votes, said he thinks Welles will do well in the seat. His only concern is whether Welles has been around long enough to understand the magnitude of population growth

expected for the area. “Stan will do a good job,” he said. “He is a good conservative that believes in smaller government and will represent the district well.” Anderson said he doesn’t see himself running for an assembly seat again. He last ran in 2005 and lost to Grace Merkes. He said he probably could have campaigned more but had been so busy with his business Alaska Technical Training. Voters in Sterling liked Welles’ plan to reduce government spending.

Sterling resident Rose Wilson said she voted for Welles because she felt his conservative views best represented the district. Jim and Myrna Heilala said they favored Welles to represent them for borough assembly because they liked his plan to reduce government spending. “I like that he is an engineer and not a teacher,” Myrna Heilala said. “We don’t need to give more power to teachers.”

many people as he can. “I cannot lose,” Bearup said. “I might lose this race, but I know who I am as a man and I know who my wife is. I know these people who have given their life over the last several months to help me win this thing.” Navarre said he is “thrilled” the communities rejected the “negative, under-handed” campaign run by the Bearup campaign. “To those of you who were personally attacked for supporting me, I’m sorry, that’s not how it’s supposed to be,” he said to the large crowd at his election-night celebration in Soldotna. While Martin said the results didn’t look good for him, he’s not too concerned. He said he probably could have run a different campaign, but he tried to run a nice campaign. Voter turn out hit slightly more than 26 percent. Absentee ballots have yet to be counted. Navarre said he watched reports come in at his campaign headquarters with about 60 people. Some high-fives were exchanged but there were also a few periods of anxiety. “All in all it’s been a celebration, so (it has) been fun,” he said. Janice See said she voted for the candidate that she knew.

The three incumbents, who have worked together for two previous terms, said they believe the district is going in the right direction. Yerly. who ran to ensure the board maintains a viable and competitive district for the future of his two children, said changes could be made. “I don’t see a dead end with this position,” Holt said. “These are all things we have been working on for four or five years and I just want to see them continue to move for-

“The Navarre family have always been public-minded,” she said. “They know the borough and the state. You can always vote for Navarre.” Steve Kehl said he and his wife, Marie Kehl, considered all the candidates before making their decisions and the two were not impressed with Bearup’s credentials. “We like what Mike (Navarre) has done,” Steve Kehl said. “Everything’s running smoothly, why mess it up?” Georgia Poynor said she and her husband, Alan Poynor, read about the candidates — they find the voter information pamphlet informative — and have some personal knowledge about some of the candidates. They decided to vote for Navarre. While they don’t agree with everything he has done, Georgia Poynor said Navarre was still their top choice for mayor. Cathy Turner, of Sterling, voted for Navarre because she felt that he has done a good job as mayor. Kenai resident Sue Carter said she voted for Navarre because she is concerned about business climate and he has a background in business. Shawn Reynolds, of Kasilof, voted for Bearup because he made the effort to visit voters in person. “Tom Bearup was the only one who talked to us,” he said, referring to a visit Bearup paid to the residents of the area. Peg Snyder, a member of the Domestic Animal Protection

League said her passion for animal rescue also affected how she voted in the borough mayor race. She said she voted for Bearup because he has rescued pets and Navarre “hasn’t done anything for the animals.” “I have to vote my heart,” she said. Ron Leonard, of Nikiski, said he thinks Navarre is a “crook,” so he voted for Bearup because it’s time for a change. Les Wulf, a Kenai voter, chose Bearup because he thinks he will address the flooding in the Kalifornsky Beach Road area. Corrections officer Micah Weeks voted for Bearup because he thinks Bearup is the “right man for the job” to handle borough crime issues. Ed Witbeck, of Kenai, said Navarre has been in the mayor’s seat too long. “I don’t care if (Bearup) is worse than (Navarre), just so it’s not (Navarre),” Witbeck said. “I don’t expect (Bearup) to be better.” Penny Hallmark didn’t want to disclose who her choice for mayor was, but said she felt good about her decision. “I know the candidates and their stances,” she said. “I know who I thought would be good.” Navarre first served at borough mayor from 1996-1999 and voters elected him again in 2011. He got his start in politics in the Alaska Legislature in 1984 and spent 12 years working in state level politics.

In the 1980s, Navarre became increasingly involved in his family’s business and worked to keep it afloat during trying economic times. Zan Inc. now runs eight RadioShacks and eight Arby’s in Alaska. Bearup and his wife founded the Family Bible Fellowship Academy, a non-profit ministry corporation, which they continue to operate out of their home off of the Sterling Highway. He has previously worked in law enforcement. Bearup, who was elected to serve as Soldotna mayor in 1979, ran for multiple offices in Arizona from 1984 to 2012. He first ran for House of Representatives, but he did not meet residency requirements. In the 2000s, he twice ran for Maricopa County Sheriff. Most recently he ran for Pinal County Sheriff. He was not elected to any of the seats he sought. A Kenai Peninsula resident since the mid-1970s, Martin has experience ranching and teaching and working in the oil and gas, fishing and tourism industries. Martin, who didn’t accept donations toward his campaign and spent less than $5,000 promoting himself, said, if elected, he would work on a 3-in-1 plan to seek a “safe secure food supply, wildfire remediation and green belt-parks and recreation.”

ward.” Yerly said he appreciated all of the hundreds of voters who turned out on Tuesday to support him. He said with Holt’s history on the board, it would be a tough race to win. “I won’t stop trying to represent my district,” Yerly said. “I plan to run in the future.” Arness said he is looking forward to the next term. For the next year the school board will be working on choosing a new superintendent and Arness said he is excited to see the results of that process. Vadla and Holt could not be reached for comment.

For the Central Kenai Peninsula residents who turned out for Tuesday’s election, most said they did not have strong opinions about the candidates. Shawn Reynolds, who voted in Kasilof, said he was pleased with the fact that Yerly and Holt were both options in his district. Ron Leonard, a Nikiski resident, he did not have much to say about Arness but had personal a policy of voting for uncontested runners. Bonnie West, also a Nikiski resident said she is impressed by anyone who “steps up to the plate.” If no one decides to oppose a candidate, she will

acknowledge the commitment by placing a vote toward him or her. Linda Raymaker, a Soldotna resident, said more people should have been involved in the races for the school board seats. In her district, Vadla ran unopposed. While she was not comfortable disclosing who her final votes went toward, Raymaker did say she was impressed at how the school board was handling their responsibilities. “There are many challenges that come with that position, and they are working hard to meet those challenges,” Raymaker said.

Ballot prop fails in Soldotna By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

The five Soldotna incumbents running uncontested will fill their seats for the next term. The four candidates running for city council, Linda Murphy, Pete Sprague, Paul Whitney and Meggean Bos were reelected all with about 97 percent of the votes. Mayor Nels Anderson captured 94 percent of the votes. Proposition 1 failed as 52 percent of the votes came in as against it. The proposition would exempt elected and appointed candidates from the Alaska State Public Official Financial Disclosure laws and would have moved city officials to a localized filing system. Council member Linda Murphy said she was not surprised by the results for the council seats. She said she was very disappointed that the proposition failed.

He said since the races were all uncontested, there were not many chances for the council members to speak publicly during the campaign season about the proposition.

About learning to live off the Alaskan land

Grannie Annie

Moose, Fish And Spruce Hens. Daniels Lake, North Nikiski, Alaska 1968-69

n the late 1960’s we lived on shores of Daniels Lake. We had our freezer full of moose. I had canned salmon to last us all winter, then froze the rest of the salmon along with halibut and clams. On our hillside and all along the lake shore and in the trees, were bunches of Spruce Hens, Stupid chickens, Tree Chickens - what ever some of our neighbors called them. At that time we had six kids to cook for and my love of cooking exploded into a challenge, as we were 200 miles from a grocery store. So planning ahead was most important for a big family of 8. During the weekends our friends would get together and we would cook up moose roasts and have fish fries. But most of all I learned how to make Mexican food. Leatha Earll introduced me to Mexican cooking. We had moose burger tacos - moose enchilada - and moose burrito’s with home made tortillas, after we spent days making millions of flour tortillas. We also made moose tamales. At one time we made 48 dozen - yes dozen! And for variety once in a while, spruce hen burritos. David was 10 years old and had a BB Gun. He was the Great White Hunter of North Kenai - now North Nikiski. He would shoot the spruce hens and proudly bring them to me so we could skin them. I separated the small breast from the rest of the meat, skinny legs and almost no wing parts went into the soup pot The breast went into a 9 X 13 pan with my favorite bread dressing in the bottom, placing at least 6 to 8 breast on dressing and cover with more dressing. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for about an hour. Boiled new potatoes “dolled up” with real butter, canned milk, celery, onion and garlic salt, served with a sprinkle of parsley. Peas from Palmer or broccoli picked from the garden, completed this great dinner. Rhubarb cake or pie for dessert. When we had enough, dark meat and some breast meat added to the soup pot, we strained out meat and bones. Saved and froze the liquid for soups. Picked out the meat, shredded and sautéed in a iron skillet with a small amount of butter. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon each of chili powder, ground cumin, garlic salt and pepper. Sautee until moisture is gone. Heat one of Leatha’s homemade flour tortillas. Place two tablespoons of meat in middle and sprinkle with chopped onion and shredded cheese. Fold one side half way over, and them roll up as to have one end open, Place rolled tortilla in skillet of melted butter and brown on all sides. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper and serve with Annie’s M&M Salsa, sour cream and a big “out of the garden” green salad. Next time try cooked moose shredded the same way. Salmon is good in a tortilla too. Just don’t serve it to Bob!! Anyway, don’t shoot these little spruce hens unless you are starving. You have to have 5 or 6 to make a meal.

t’s impossible to miss that the holidays are coming. From Halloween costumes and pumpkins for making pies, to ornaments for Christmas trees, dreidels and candles for Kwanzaa, store shelves are already filling up. If you’re a baker, one of the things you look forward to the most come the holidays, is baking cookies, among them sugar cookies and spritz-type cookies, made with a cookie gun, for decorating. My vintage metal Mirro “cooky” press, which I like better than the newer models made of plastic, turns out perfect spritz cookies, and the old Mirro disc designs, such as the scotty dog and camel, are fun, as well. But, it can be difficult to find time for baking, much less adorning cookies with icing, sprinkles, colored sugar and the like, unless you get a bit of a jump-start on the process. One of the ways to do that is to make and freeze cookie dough ahead of time. If double-wrapped and stored in an airtight container, frozen cookie dough will

From Halloween on, cookie lovers will be baking, purchasing, or gifted with cookies of all shapes, sizes – and colors.

Made with both butter and shortening, these sugar cookies do not spread during baking and hold their shape well, making them an ideal “canvas” for decorating. For fun, make sugar “crackers” (bottom left) with sugar cookie dough. Directions follow recipe.

1 /3 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1 /3 cup Crisco shortening ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1 large egg 1½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour (dip measuring cup into flour, then level with the flat end of a knife Milk for brushing on top of cookies (if cookies are not to be frosted) Coarse sanding sugar for sprinkling on top of cookies (if cookies are not to be frosted) Combine butter and shortening in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add sugar, baking powder and salt, beating until mixture is well blended. Do not overbeat. Divide dough into four pieces, forming into disks. Wrap disks, individually, in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour for ease of handling. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough out on a lightly-floured surface to about 1 /8 -inch thickness, using one disk at a time. Cut cookies with a cookie cutter, as desired, as close to one another as possible. With a spatula, carefully transfer cookies to an ungreased cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart. (You may re-roll scraps to make more cookies but do not overwork dough.) Brush tops lightly with milk, then sprinkle with

coarse sanding sugar. (If you plan to decorate cookies with frosting, skip this step.) Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking, until edges turn a light brown. Allow to rest on cookie sheet for 2 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Makes about 3½ dozen 2-inch cookies. To freeze cookie dough: place wrapped disks in plastic freezer bags. Pressing out as much air as possible, seal tightly, then place in freezer for up three months. When ready to bake, place disks in refrigerator, allowing to thaw.

Illinois author, Marilyn Alice Tuckman, loves pumpkins ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. (AP) — The great artificial pumpkin-flavoring assault on our taste buds every fall can’t hold a candle to the natural supremacy of the majestic pumpkin, Marilyn Alice Tuckman says. For her, the comparison is almost literal. The childhood memory of a candle inside a jack-o’-lantern ignited a pumpkin obsession. It led to Tuckman’s career as a food taste tester and, now, to her authorship of a new cookbook devoted to the season’s best-known AP Photo/Daily Herald, Joe Lewnard squash. “That (jack-o’-lantern canIn this Sept. 19 photo, a recipe for roasted pumpkin soup with black pepper croutons is seen in the cookbook “For the Love of dle) gives off a roasted-pumpkin aroma,” says Tuckman, whose Pumpkins’ by author Marilyn Alice Tuckman.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Black Pepper Croutons is one of 100 gourd-blessed recipes in her “For the Love of Pumpkins” cookbook. “It sparks a little fire in you.” Tuckman’s keen sense of smell and discerning palate led to her career as a sensory food taster and former quality control and laboratory technician for a major bakery and condiment manufacturer. But pumpkins hold a special place in her heart. “This is my manuscript,” Tuckman says, plopping a bulging binder on the kitchen table in her Elk Grove Village home. “It weighs 13 pounds.” Her ode to pumpkins is C

heavier than the 5-pound pumpkins she prefers for cooking because there is so much more to pumpkins than meets the eye, Tuckman says in a reverent tone. “Pumpkins helped our settlers get through some brutal winters,” she says, explaining how gourd-forsaken Pilgrims wouldn’t have been able to stave off starvation. “It’s a part of us.” For modern Americans, pumpkins remind us of holidays, loved ones and good times, Tuckman says. Her first personal pumpkin story is older than she is. Her mother, pregnant with her, developed such a pumpkin craving that she baked

a pumpkin chiffon pie and ate the entire dessert herself. “Pumpkin offers a unique depth of flavor that other winter squashes don’t have. It’s nutritious. It’s healthy,” Tuckman gushes. “Pumpkin is wonderful to use in foods. It’s good for your body. You take in its vitality and become vital yourself. Pumpkin will make you beautiful. Eat it.” A fit, young-looking cook who will turn 65 in November, Tuckman’s love affair with the pumpkin began as a child growing up in the unincorporated Columbus Manor community near Oak Lawn with her brother, Frank, and parents Frank See SOUP, page B-2

and Millie Kratochvil. “At one end of the road, we had a swamp, and at the other end, a cornfield,” she says. Her father was a machinist, not a farmer. “We didn’t go to a farm for pumpkins. We went to the gas station,” Tuckman says. “They’d have huge piles of pumpkins. Our eyes would get so big. It was like a ritual. We’d go every year.” She and her brother would carve their pumpkins and spread the seeds on a baking sheet, which they’d set to dry on the furnace in the utility room. “We’d forget about them until the next year,” says Tuckman. “The seeds were black and burnt, and we’d take the

cookie sheet out so we could put the new one up there.” Collecting dozens and dozens of pumpkin recipes through the years, Tuckman sat down in April 2007 with the idea of adding her own touches to old recipes and serving up her own in a book. “It took a year to write it, and two years to photograph it,” Tuckman says. She wore out one oven cooking every recipe and took all the photos herself. The book has one ingredient even more important than pumpkins. “If it didn’t have love in it, it would be worthless,” she says. Admirers attest to the value of her work. “The whole book is as beautiful as she is,” says longtime neighbor Barb Larson. “Her blueberry-pumpkin muffins are out of this world.” Larson’s husband, Bob, can

‘We didn’t go to a farm for pumpkins. We went to the gas station. They’d have huge piles of pumpkins. Our eyes would get so big. It was like a ritual. We’d go every year.’ — Marilyn Alice Tuckman, author go on and on about another favorite. “I like pumpkin pie and all that, but her pumpkin ice cream is wicked. It’s good,” he says. His wife agrees. “I had a friend over here, and I said, ‘Betty, try this. You’re not going to believe it,’ and she said, ‘Am I in heaven?’” Barb Larson says. “Anything she (Tuckman) makes is wonderful.” Tuckman took Thomas Jefferson’s recipe for sweet potato biscuits and axed the sweet po-

tatoes. “I used pumpkin to take it out of the South and make it Yankee,” she says. Many of her recipes originally call for butternut squash or sweet potatoes, but Tuckman makes them with pumpkins. A cup of pumpkin has as much potassium as a banana and far more fiber. Pumpkins also are rich in iron, calcium, beta carotene and other vitamins. In her carrot muffin recipe, Tuckman makes them

The spots were directed by Tarsem Singh, Directors Guild of America award-winner among more awards for outstanding directorial achievements in commercials.

moister and less fattening by substituting pumpkin for some of the cooking oil. Bacon became a trendy ingredient a few years ago, and Tuckman feels that pumpkins can do the same, proving that orange is the new crispy brown. A bill in Springfield aims to make pumpkin our official state pie, since 90 percent of the nation’s pumpkins are grown and canned in Illinois. “With its connections to rural life, family and hard work, pumpkin pie symbolizes the values that are close to the heart of all Illinoisans,” Gov. Pat Quinn said in proclaiming Sept. 13 as Pumpkin Pie Day in Illinois. Pumpkins aren’t limited to pies or autumn, Tuckman says. In addition to her pumpkin ice cream, which resembles a frozen pie, nothing tastes better on

a hot July afternoon than her pumpkin-apricot smoothie, she says. Her “Savory, Fresh Pumpkin Pancakes” have become a favorite with her husband’s side of the family, who grew up eating traditional potato pancakes. She took her brother-in-law Bob’s frittata and said, “I bet I could make that with pumpkins.” Her most unusual pumpkin recipe might be her pumpkinstuffed pasta shells, which boast pumpkin instead of ricotta cheese. “I was never even a fan of pumpkin pie,” says her husband, Jeff, a longtime film critic and manager at a suburban car dealership. “The beauty of her book is that, while she was making all the recipes in our kitchen, I had to try everything she was making, and it turned me around.”

Tomato rice soup: A speedy bowl of creamy comfort By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor When I was a kid, creamy tomato and rice soup was one of my go-to comfort foods. My mom would make it for me, and she would make it from a box. The soup was cloyingly creamy-sweet and the rice was overcooked and mushy. I didn’t much care. It was happiness in a bowl. I’ve been pretty much chasing that flavor memory ever since. And I’ll just say, whenever I’ve come close, it hasn’t involved a box. But I’m not opposed to cracking a few cans. Of tomatoes. This creamy tomato and rice soup is my work-in-progress attempt to replicate the comfort food of my childhood, but with better results and much better ingredients. For depth of flavor (but still tons of ease), I start with canned whole tomatoes. They get a brief stint under the broiler to caramelize the sugars and deepen the flavors. For even more flavor, the rice is cooked in a blend of chicken broth and the tomato

Instead of cream, I use cashew butter. It’s just as rich and creamy, but less sweet. Nuts and tomatoes work wonderfully together, and this soup is a fine example. The cashew butter (sold alongside peanut butter), keeps the overall flavor of the soup savory without sacrificing the creaminess we find so comforting.

Mist the tops of the tomatoes with cooking spray, then set on the oven’s middle rack and broil for 5 minutes, or until lightly charred. Use tongs to flip the tomatoes and broil until the second sides are charred, another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the broth to the pot of tomato juice. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

Rubes

Pressure could come from others, as they’ll expect you to have the right solution for them. Step back and explain that you are more involved with other matters. Tonight: Act as if you don’t have a care in the world. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’ll demonstrate an unusual amount of precision in how you handle a money matter. You still will need to check the numbers and facts with someone you trust. Though you might want to be extravagant with a new friend or loved one, hold back. Tonight: Head home early. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might consider taking a trip for business or personal reasons. A change of pace could work well for you. Your intuition connects well with a partner, so listen to your gut more often when working with this person. Your creativity will come forward. Tonight: Return calls. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Deal with a partner directly, especially if you feel tense about a situation. You might want to air out your feelings and get feedback. There could be a misunderstanding between you and this person. Honor what is happening. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to be diplomatic, but when confronted by an unusually angry and forthright person, you’ll have a totally different reaction. A power play suddenly could emerge and make you wonder how you got into this situation. Tonight: Go with the flow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

HHH You might be in a situation where you could lose your temper. Use care with your finances, as a mistake easily could happen. Be more forthright with a partner who might be out of sorts. Play it lowkey if you want to stay in control. Tonight: Go to the gym. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to rethink a problem rather than explode in frustration. A conversation could prove to be a necessity if you are to avoid a drama over nothing. You’ll have strong feelings that will need to be honored. Tonight: Invite a friend to join you for dinner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Pressure is likely to build as demands come in from key areas of your life, and each request seems to come with a sense of urgency. A close friend or loved one can and will take an enormous weight off your shoulders. Allow this person to pitch in. Tonight: Relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHHYour words seem to spill out uncontrollably, which might make you wonder where all these ideas are coming from. You are working on many different plans and could be exhausted. A key person in your life will respond in an unexpected way. Tonight: Let off steam with a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHYou could be concerned about a financial matter. If not, certain events might force you to look at a money situation or commitment. The possibility exists that you are unsure of yourself. Go find someone who seems to have great knowledge on the topic. Tonight: Do not overindulge.

Self-cleaning cast iron Dear Heloise: I read your column every day in The Decatur (Ala.) Daily. If you have cast-iron cookwarE that has a “buildup” on the outside, you can clean it in your self-cleaning oven. Afterward, be sure it is completely cool, then wash in warm, soapy water and wipe down inside and out with a thin coat of shortening. I even have put mine in a 300-degree oven for an hour or so at times for minor cleaning. — Dot B. in Alabama Dot, don’t you love this tried-andtrue Heloise hint on how to “easy clean” a cast-iron skillet? Since you need to put it on an oven rack, just leave one rack in the oven when doing this. Many readers leave both racks in when selfcleaning the oven. They may get dull, but they won’t be damaged. — Heloise Microwave mistakes Dear Readers: Microwaves are pretty much a standard appliance to have today. They sure make cooking or heating up some leftovers a snap! However, there are some very important DON’TS for a microwave. Make sure you keep the following items out of the microwave, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture says they aren’t safe, and that’s good enough for me: * Containers with metal handles. * Any foam-insulated items, such as carry-out containers. * Food wrapped in aluminum foil. * Cold containers that are used to contain yogurt, cottage cheese, margarine, etc. These should be used only for storage and NOT for microwave cooking. * Brown paper bags. — Heloise

A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Aries. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014: This year you often feel as if you are juggling many different, and sometimes opposing, interests. You are able to embrace both sides of an argument or situation. You often will waver as to which way to go. If you are single, this waffling could play out with your choice of suitor. Date and get to know others before making any type of commitment. If you are attached, the two of you often see an issue very differently. Respect each other’s opinions. ARIES can cause a lot of commotion in your life.

DEAR ABBY: When I was 10, I faked an injury so I could quit playing soccer. I couldn’t articulate why the coach, who was clean-cut, friendly and fair, made me uneasy. After he died a few years ago, it came out that he had molested dozens of girls. Over the subsequent 20 years, those same instincts have screamed at me three more times — and twice I was proven correct. The third man to set off this alarm is in my social circle, along with his wife. Several of the couples in our group are starting families. I feel like I’m in a terrible position. Should I say something and risk destroying an innocent man’s reputation and the group dynamic, or remain silent and risk the kids being around a predator? I don’t have a shred of evidence, just a gut-punch feeling. I never said anything about the prior abusers, but I don’t sleep well wondering if I should have — even if it was based solely on a sixth sense. What should I do? — NOSE LIKE A BLOODHOUND DEAR NOSE: Child molesters belong to every race, both sexes, and come in various age ranges. The problem with criminals of every sort — child abusers and con men included — is they look like the rest of us. I’m sorry you’re having sleep problems, but the

Installation Services LLC does it all for Stoves, Chimneys & Fireplaces KCHS grad Jeffery McNutt comes home a U.S. Marine & Hometown Hero. Page 2

Whether you want a new stove or fireplace to cozy up to this fall or need your chimney cleaned and inspected, Installation Services LLC on the Sterling Highway has you covered. Their spacious showroom next to Peninsula Harley Davidson has a wide variety of quality wood, gas, pellet and oil stoves to choose from. Owner Randy Bostrom is a certified Master Hearth Professional that does beautiful custom rock and tile work that gives your home fireplace a unique one of a kind design and appearance. “I started out in plumbing and installing boilers some 35 years ago and have since installed woodstoves and chimneys throughout Alaska from Seward to Nome and Barrow and many villages inbetween,” Bostrom told the Dispatch on a crisp autumn morning. “In 2009 I decided to become self-employed and to specialize in installing hearth products, stoves and chimneys, hence our name Installation Services,” he explained. Randy’s success led him to open his first shop in a commercial building 5 miles north of Kenai, “The idea was to stock a few stoves and pipe to sell, but soon I needed help to staff the store while I was doing installations. Then last year I had the chance to sell that place and relocate this new location where we can really display what we have to offer. We’ve put together a small team of professionals now that really work well together to be sure our customers are happy and warm. Our reputation means everything to us we put our quality of work and your family’s safety first and we’re proud of the testimonials and customer references we’ve accumulated,” said Randy. Most people don’t think about chimney maintenance until winter approaches but according to Bostrom the best time to chimney sweep is in the spring, “The best time to clean your chimney is in the spring

when you are done burning for the season. Hearth professionals are busy in the fall and can’t keep up with demands when burning season gets underway. Plus it’s difficult to do some repairs when the roof is frosty or snow covered and you always get the best pricing and neatest repairs when in the spring and summer,” he said. Even though fall is upon us Randy still promises quick re-

sponse and installation during permanent fund dividend sale pricing, “We can have you up and making fire in a few days and our Excel chimney pipe is guaranteed even if you have a chimney fire.” Installation Services LLC is licensed, bonded & insured and serves the Kenai Peninsula from Seward to Anchor Point. Visit the store just north of Soldotna and meet Kelly and find out more about

their outdoor fire pits that make summer last longer in Alaska, or call 262-4338 for an appointment. You can also visit their website at www.installationservices.com.

Sgt. Denton congratulates Pvt. Jeffery McNutt on completing his basic training.

SoHi grad Christopher Works returns Hometown Hero.

More Hometown Heroes complete U.S. Marine boot camp Two more U.S. Marine Hometown Heroes recently completed their basic training and have proudly entered service to the United States. Christopher Works graduated from SoHi with the class of 2012 and today is Pvt. Christopher Works, U.S. Marine. “Getting to know Staff Sgt. Rehm was what motivated me

specifically to join the Corp., but being in military service is something I have aspired to since I was a little shrimp. It’s all I have ever wanted to do with my life,” said Works. “It was an extensive process before I finally was accepted into the military and it was Staff Sgt. Rehm’s belief in me and perseverance that ulti-

mately was successful and the fact that I believe if you want something you don’t quit until you get it,” he said. Also returning as a Hometown Hero and U.S. Marine recently was KCHS class of 2014 grad Jeffery McNutt, “For me personally the reason I signed up was to get out of town and be able to help pro-

tect people and serve my country and I didn’t see a better way to accomplish my goals than with the U.S. Marines,” McNutt told the Dispatch. “I am most definitely a different person than I was this spring when I graduated from high school. Basic training grows each recruit in a different way, but always in a way that bet-

ters them so when they come home they may be different, but better than they were before. The crucible the final challenge before you become Marine was the toughest part of boot camp. But once you complete basic training you have a level of confidence that I don’t believe you can experience anywhere else.”

Hometown Heroes Christopher Works and Jeffery McNutt your community salutes you and thanks you for your service. For more information about “The few and the proud” contact Sgt. Jonathon Denton, U.S. Marine Recruiter at the Peninsula Center Mall or call 907-262-2243.

Photograher Joe Kashi introduces Fred Kehl a member of the U.S. liberation force during WWII at Dachau.

Photographer honors “Fleeting Images” of lives lost at Dachau and a soldier who fought there Through October 10th at the Gary Freeburg Gallery at KPC a unique and moving array of photographs by Joe Kashi are on display. The show entitled “Fleeting Images” is a collection of shadows and photographs taken at Dachau by Kashi, “When images reflect a consistent concept and body of work, they support each other. If good images are carefully selected, then the resulting exhibit should convey a coherent overall content and a visual impres-

sion that’s stronger than the sum of the separate images. In early 2013, I shot a number of possible images at Nazi Germany’s infamous Dachau concentration camp near Munich. One of our Soldotna Rotary Club members was among the 42nd Division soldiers who liberated Dachau in 1945 and he expressed a willingness to speak to a wider audience about his experiences. Although the Dachau photos suggested a possible theme, my sense was that there were not

enough strong images to sustain a complete 20 to 25 image solo exhibit. Matters remained unresolved for several months. By chance, I independently made another photo that slowly grew on me. That photo, of two shadowy figures on a wall. This photo struck me as an appropriate “key” image around which to organize an exhibit, both suggesting and exemplifying the overall emotional experience of the Dachau photos,” said Kashi.

WWII veteran and member of the U.S. Rainbow division liberation front Fred Kehl was present at the opening of the exhibit and shared some of his experiences with the crowd that gathered to meet him and view the images. “Many of the folks came out to honor him and hear of his experiences with those who were in concentration camps during the holocaust and after their liberation, but I felt the selection of images conveyed a similar

sense of the fleeting life experiences,” said Kashi. Kehl was presented with a personalized replica of the plaque that hangs in Dachau, Germany and a book of autographs from his fellow Rotarians. “As our shadows brush the walls of eternity, fleeting images.” Haiku written by Joe Kashi to complement his “Fleeting Images” photographic display open during regular college hours at KPC in the Gary Freeburg Gallery.
