In the news Parnell gets boost from Romney C

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made a last-minute pitch Monday for Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell, who is waging an uphill battle against independent candidate Bill Walker. During a rally in Anchorage Monday, Romney called Parnell a great governor for the future of Alaska. Romney, who also rallied for Republican Senate candidate Dan Sullivan, kept his comments about Parnell brief, saying the Republican incumbent knows how to stimulate the economy. Earlier, as Parnell took the microphone, a crowd of about 300 chanted “four more years.” “Let’s take that palpable excitement and put it into action tomorrow, OK?” Parnell said of Tuesday’s election. Walker told The Associated Press on Monday that he had no problem with Romney rallying for Parnell. In fact, Walker — a former Republican — said he voted for Romney.

HEA to share Grant Lake plan Cooperative ready to move forward on hydroelectric project By By BEN BOETTGER Peninsula Clarion

The Homer Electric Association (HEA) will update residents on the current state of its Grant Lake hydroelectric project in a public meeting on Thursday at the Moose Pass Community Hall. HEA has been planning a hydroelectric installation at Grant Lake since August 2009, when it received a preliminary study permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which issues licenses for power plants. HEA plans to submit a draft license application to FERC in February 2015. The Moose Pass meeting is held in anticipation of this event. The town of Moose Pass is

on the shore of Trail Lake, approximately 4 miles from the proposed site of the project, an outlet where Grant Lake releases water into the lowerlying Trail Lake via Grant Creek. HEA held a previous meeting on the Grant Lake project in Moose Pass on June 3, 2010. Then, HEA was preparing studies on the project’s potential impact, and solicited input from Moose Pass residents and groups including the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, the Resurrection Photo by Ben Boettger/Peninsula Clarion Bay Conservation Alliance, and the Alaska Department of Mike Salzetti, HEA Manager of Fuel Supply & Renewable Energy Development, takes questions about the Grant Lake Fish and Game. “In this particular meeting project during HEA’s Energy and Conservation Fair on Nov.

ANCHORAGE — Alaska, a state known for its beauty and its bears, garnered national attention this year for its highprofile political campaigns. One election could decide which party controls the U.S. Senate. Another could shake up the state Capitol by sending an independent to the governor’s office. Voters will choose a U.S. representative and decide whether to raise the minimum wage and require legislative approval of the controversial Pebble Mine project. Oh, and there’s also a vote on whether to legalize marijuana.

Senate race First-term Democratic Sen. Mark Begich is facing a strong challenge from Republican former state Attorney General Dan Sullivan, but they aren’t the only ones in the race. There’s also Libertarian Mark Fish, non-affiliated perennial candidate Ted Gianoutsos and at least four politically unknown write-in challengers. Begich sought to have Fish included in debates in what he said was an effort to allow Alaskans to hear from a more diverse range of voices. But Sullivan’s campaign saw it as an effort to try to pull votes from their candidate. Fish shared the stage with the two together once. The race has become the most expensive in Alaska history, with a lot at stake: Republicans need to pick up six seats nationally to win control of the Senate, and saw Begich as vulnerable. Begich and Sullivan alone raised more than $17.5 million. That doesn’t include See RACES, page A-10

Man arrested after Intersection causes road block Kenai burglaries for Soldotna daycare permit By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

A Kenai man was arrested last week in the alleged burglaries of three Kenai businesses along the Kenai Spur Highway committed in the past two months. According to a police affidavit filed in court Oct. 28, Kenai police received an anonymous report on Oct. 26 of a man overdosing on heroin in a vehicle near the Kenai Golf Course. Police identified the man as Jeremy Hart, 38. Hart matched the

description of a man caught on camera in the burglary and theft of the Kenai Arby’s restaurant on Sept. 1 and Lucky Diamond Pull Tabs on Sept. 10. When police responded to the heroin overdose, Hart was passed out and having difficulty breathing, sitting in the driver’s seat of a 2012 Ford Fiesta, registered to Alaska Rent a Car Inc. After being treated, police interviewed Hart, who admitted to stealing cash and damaging property at Arby’s, Lucky Diamond and the Moose

By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Soldotna resident Robyn Schneider has been trying to get a conditional use permit from the city to open a daycare facility since July 6. Throughout the process members from the public expressed extreme responses of both support and opposition. Schneider said opening the daycare is a dream of hers. She started with a mountain of standards to meet, which she

said she was able to reduce down to five requirements and then only one. Now she has one final hurdle, which may be impossible to overcome. The Soldotna Planning and Zoning Commission denied her application. Schneider filed for an appeal. The proposal then went before the Soldotna City Council on Sept. 16. The council chose to send the appeal back to the commission for a remand hearing. Schneider’s application

was again denied at a special planning and zoning commission meeting on Oct. 28. The daycare, to be called Schneider’s Nest, would be at the home she shares with her husband and eight children located at 104 North Kobuk Street. Between the steady schedules of public hearings, Schneider used the last four months to alter her property to meet city requirements and obtained a state certification See PERMIT, page A-10

Woman hoping for wedding ring treat MESA, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona woman is searching for her wedding ring after she says she accidentally gave it away with Halloween candy. KNXV-TV reports that Mesa resident Brooklin Yazzie says she mistakenly handed out the ring Friday during a mix-up. Yazzie says she placed her wedding ring in a candy jar while helping her daughters carve pumpkins, and when the night became hectic she absentmindedly dumped the contents of the jar into the candy bag. She says there were also plastic rings inside the candy bag. Yazzie says she is hoping someone has the ring because it isn’t worth much money but has more value to her.

Obituary Alva Lynn Tubbs

Birders to flock together

Longtime Alaskan Alva Lynn Tubbs, 88, passed away Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014 at Central Peninsula Hospital after a long bout with Alzheimer ’s disease. No services are planned at this time. Alva was born on May 13, 1926 in Mangum, Oklahoma in a log cabin with a dirt floor. He was educated through the seventh grade and taught himself many careers. He signed up during WW2 with the U.S. Navy and became a member of one of the Navy’s first underwater demolition teams, a “Frogman.” He has been in Alaska since 1968 and was the owner of A-1 Sewing & Vacuum Center. He loved the great Alaskan outdoors, was an avid fisherman and hunter. He was a great salesman and a good friend to his customers and others. He put on a tough persona, however, he was a giving person, and helped many of those less fortunate and in need. He loved his family very much and will be greatly missed and remembered always with love by all of us. “You’re safe now up above Dad,” his family wrote. “Our family offers our sincerest thanks to all of those who helped our father over the years and during his last days: Friends, Family, Sunrise Mountain Assisted Living and staff, and Central Peninsula Hospital and staff for taking care of Dad. Special thanks to Peninsula Memorial Chapel & Crematory for all their kindness and help after the loss of our father.” He is survived by his four children Jesse Tubbs, Martha Walter, Toni Hosford, Clifford Tubbs, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Arrangements were by Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai.

The Keen Eye Bird Club will meet from 1-3 p.m. Saturday at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Bulding on Kalifornsky Beach Road just east of the Bridge Access Road. Bird sightings, enrichment and snacks will be shared. Anyone who enjoys watching birds to any degree will enjoy this gathering. For more information, call call 262-7767

Researchers deploy penguin rover So international scientists and even filmmakers, led by Yvon Le Maho of the University of Strasbourg in France, created a remote control rover disguised as a chick to snuggle up to shy penguins in Adelie Land, Antarctica — the same place where the 2005 documentary “March of the Penguins” was filmed. Researchers watched from more than 650 feet away. The first disguised version of the rover, made of fiberglass, didn’t pass muster and scared the real birds, Le Maho said.

What Others Say

CDC adds to Ebola confusion A month after the first case of Ebola

‘Hey, baby. What about manners?’

Never before have so many people watched an expressionless woman in a nondescript outfit traipse through New York City. Millions of people viewed a viral video last week that showed the woman getting all manner of uninvited and unwelcome compliments during hours of walking in the Big Apple. The video was a brilliant stunt by the anti-street-harassment group Hollaback! and prompted the Great Catcalling Debate of 2014. Some of what the woman hears, as captured by a hidden camera, is relatively innocuous, like the overfriendly “How are you doing?” Some of it is obnoxious and leering, and clearly out of bounds. Some of it is downright menacing, as guys demand that she respond to their unlikely overtures or walk beside her for long stretches, unbidden. The video was taken as an indictment of the boorishness of men, a charge for which millennia of human history had already provided more than ample evidence. It always has been true, and always will, that men notice attractive women. When Marilyn Monroe, previously known as “Norma Jeane the String Bean,” began to get her famous figure, men honked at her as she walked to school. “Suddenly, everything seemed to open up,” she remembered later, fondly. “The world became friendly.” This is no excuse for catcalling. There is no reason to shout at random women — ever. There is no reason to comment on a

was diagnosed in this country, the Centers for Disease Control on Monday announced yet another policy for dealing with the dread disease and people who have been exposed to it while in West Africa. Meanwhile, U.S. Army leaders have adopted their own quarantine policy for returning military personnel and the governors of at least six states are imposing their own restrictions. In short, the Obama administration has failed miserably to bring order out of the chaos of conflicting policies and it’s every government agency for itself. A Pentagon spokesman has confirmed that all soldiers returning from West Africa (the U.S. has committed about 4,000 troops to the fight against Ebola there) will be isolated and monitored for the 21-day incubation period of Ebola. The governors of New York, New Jersey and Illinois (all among the five newly authorized gateway entry points for those arriving from West Africa) were joined by Florida, Minnesota, Virginia and Maryland in announcing varying degrees of quarantine for new arrivals. Those announcements came in the wake of the hospitalization of Dr. Craig Spencer, who had just returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea under the auspices of Doctors Without Borders. Yes, Spencer was doing heroic work and he did the right thing by monitoring his own temperature twice a day and reporting to the emergency room when he developed a fever. But he also violated CDC protocols by traveling on public transportation (three subway lines), dining out and going bowling during the incubation period. This latest effort by the CDC calls for those with direct exposure — such as a needle stick or unprotected contact with an Ebola patient — to avoid “congregate settings,” airline travel and public transportation. That is an exceedingly small number, and there’s no evidence that Dr. Spencer would have been included in the “direct contact” group. So once again the CDC has come out belatedly with a policy that fails to address legitimate public health Letters to the Editor concerns. Now it is indeed every state for itself. — Boston Herald, Food group thinks local Oct. 29

As members of the Local Food Group, we are writing to thank the many people who contributed to the success of the 2nd annual Harvest Moon Local Food Week and Film Festival, from September 14-20. With the support of many individuals and organizations, this week-long community celebration of locally grown and gathered foods expanded to include an apple tasting, guided berry-picking walk, lecture on harvesting sea vegetables, two films, panel discussion with local farmers, and a community luncheon with guest speaker and video shorts. We would like to thank Borough Mayor Mike Navarre, Kenai Mayor Pat Porter, and Soldotna Mayor Nels Anderson for supporting the mission of the Local Food Group with official proclamations. We are grateful for financial support from WalMart, Kenai Peninsula Foundation, Kenaitze Indian Tribe, and Central Peninsula Garden Club, as well as advertising and organizational support from People Promoting Wellness through Community Action, Kenai Soil & Water Conservation District, Kenai Peninsula Food Bank, and Kenai and Soldotna Chambers of Commerce. For hosting and sponsoring Local Food Week events, we offer thanks to O’Brien Garden & Trees, UAF Cooperative Extension Services, Kenai Peninsula College Residence Hall, and Soldotna Public Library. Many thanks to Abby Ala, Velma Bittick, and Conner Eller for sharing their farming experiences and advice during the evening panel discussion. Thanks to local bakeries for donating tasty desserts for the farmer panel discussion, including Iced & Sliced and Odie’s C

The gentleman was a product of culture. He reflected society’s interest in the imperative once identified by Thomas Sowell: “Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.” Especially the males. This is not the language of Hollaback!. It breaks out every “-ism” and phobia in the book to condemn catcalling. It can be, according to the aggressively politically correct feminist group, “sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, sizest and/or classist.” That pretty much covers the bases. It would be much easier to say that it is rude and uncouth. The left’s decades-long project, though, has been to deconstruct cultural norms and the rules of common courtesy and then, as it suits its agenda, rebuild some of them on a stilted, politicized basis through coercion.

Local businesses that provided donations and offered discounts on food and other services for the luncheon included Johnson Brothers, Peninsula Processing, Sav-U-More, Soldotna Safeway, and the UPS Store. Thank you to these restaurants that featured harvest-week specials prepared with local foods: The Corner Café, Fine Thyme Café, Firehouse BBQ, The Flats Bistro, Kenai Catering, Mykel’s Restaurant, and Odie’s Café. We appreciate Gary Ferguson from the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium traveling to the Kenai Peninsula to be the guest speaker at our luncheon, and we offer a special thanks to Deb Nyquist from the Dena’ina Wellness Center for filling in at the last minute as guest speaker to share the “Store Outside Your Door” videos as well as her own insights into the many values of eating local foods. Dan Pascucci served as our master of ceremonies, and Local Food Group members donated their time to prepare a delicious, local-foods luncheon. Finally, we would like to give special recognition to the local growers and gatherers who produced and contributed the greens, vegetables, fruits, grains, and honey for the luncheon: Abundant Blessings, Arena Valley Acres, Cloudberry Acres, Dandelion Acres, Eat Me Raw Honey, Fischer’s Fresh Farm Produce, Garden Specialties, Ionia, Lancashire Farms, O’Brien Garden & Trees, Valley Bounty, and Doug and Marne Morris. The Local Food Group’s mission is ‘supporting local food by fostering healthy eating,’ and we welcome interested community members to join us in our efforts to celebrate and promote growing, gathering, and eating delicious and local healthy foods.

correct speech codes can be seen as twisted mandates for a kind of politeness. The new rules on campus against sexual assault can be viewed as an indirect attempt to recover older attitudes toward sex. And the push by Hollaback! to criminalize catcalling can be considered an effort to impose basic propriety in public by force of law. Of course, no legal regime can substitute for the web of informal rules and private institutions, family foremost among them, that are civilization’s tried-and-true methods of inculcating standards. And outlawing catcalling is obviously insane. Who determines the offense? Are we really going to have cops deciding if a “Have a nice day!” was overly exuberant and pointedly directed at an attractive woman, or an innocent expression of cheery good will? Maybe this is what New York City police officers can do with all the time they have on their hands now that they are less occupied with trying to find illegal guns. In making its case that catcalling should be illegal, Hollaback! drones on about the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s definitions of harassment and other legalisms. Fundamentally, though, what it wants on the streets is something that sounds embarrassingly retrograde: good manners. Shouldn’t we all.

New hands on deck

New specialist comes to Kenai Peninsula By RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

Dr. Edwin Vyhmeister has steady hands. Whether they’re tying an intricate fly fishing knot, or performing micro-surgery the surgeon, and newly-minted Alaskan, specializes in processes that require a delicate touch. The Chile-born hand surgeon also has a strong German accent, and a way of cracking jokes so dryly it takes a second for them to sink in. As he talked about being powerless to stop himself from watching people’s hands and looking for potentially hazardous behavior, Vyhmeister grinned. When his wife, Ingrid Vyhmeister is cooking, he said, he has a hard time watching her chop food. “She can cook, as you can tell,” he said, looking down at his stomach. “She’s very accurate with a knife but, boy if she’s cutting vegetables ... people are a little cavalier about cooking and there are issues with that. I just repaired a poor young man from one of the fast food places in this community who, half of his finger is gone in the cutting equipment.” He’s so bad about watching carefully, he said, that his three sons won’t let him watch them play with anything sharp. Vhymeister will be working out of the Kenai Peninsula Orthopaedics office, 291 Fireweed Street in Soldotna, but his skills are such high demand that he’ll also be working on-call for Central Peninsula Hospital. He’ll start working as an on-call surgeon in the emergency room this week. For Vhymeister, who started his training in general surgery and became board certified as a general surgeon, hands held a magnetic attraction once he began his training rotations in Detroit-area hospitals. “I love the meticulous surgery and the anatomy and the care for hand injuries,” he said. “It’s complex, its delicate, it’s also functionality. You’re trying to restore the ability for the patient to use their hands.” Vhymeister also has sharp eyes — though he uses magnifying rings during certain surgeries. And, while it’s all about the hands and upper extremities for the

While 10 state legislatures voted to hike the minimum wage this year, it rose in 11 others because of inflation. And President Barack Obama in February ordered companies with federal contracts to pay at least $10.10 an hour. Obama wants the $7.25 federal minimum raised to $10.10. About 3.3 million or 2 percent of the workforce is at or below the federal minimum, according to the Labor Department. Seasonal workers at Rick Poore’s Lincoln, Nebraska screen printing and embroidery company earn the minimum wage. Tuesday’s referendum could raise the state minimum from $7.25 to $8 on Jan. 1, and

The Vyhmeister family just moved to Soldotna, where Edwin Vyhmeister will be working as the Kenai Peninsula’s first board-certified hand surgeon.

long-time private-practice specialist, he is careful to point out that he works on macro-level issues. “For example, if a patient comes in with a broken (bone), I will not fix that,” he said. “But, if the nerve has been damaged because of (the break), I will fix that. It’s the microscopic aspect of the soft tissue in the upper extremities that I deal with.” There are no other board-certified hand surgeons on the Kenai Peninsula, said Central Peninsula Hospital Marketing Manager Camille Sorensen. “Anytime we can get this kind of specialty down here is awesome.” CPH CEO Rick Davis wrote in an emailed statement that the hospital was pleased to welcome the surgeon to the community. While Vyhmeister will be working with Central Peninsula Hospital, he said people who wanted to reach him for consultations should got through Kenai Peninsula Orthopaedics, or KPO. It was at the Soldotna-based KPO that

Vyhmeister saw his first patient in September and business has been rolling in steadily ever since, he said. For now, however, Vyhmeister said he is helping his newly-arrived family to settle in, they would like to go fishing soon. “My wife ties her own flies ... we love fly fishing,” he said. The fishing and outdoor recreation are what attracted the Vhymeisters to Alaska, he said. “We are outdoors people. So, we may be fishing, snowmobiling, quad-running, (and) going up into the mountains,” he said. Vyhmeister said he is looking forward to treating people on the Kenai Peninsula who may have been avoiding a long drive to Anchorage to get treatment. “They’ll ignore it and they’ll live with it, and there’s so many things I can help people with,” he said.

Business divided over wage votes NEW YORK — Workers in five states could get a raise after Election Day. Some small business owners say raising the minimum wage will pressure their companies, forcing them to cut employees’ hours or jobs. Others say it’s the right thing to do for workers and the economy. Minimum wage referendums are on Tuesday’s ballots in Alaska, Arkansas, Illinois, Nebraska and South Dakota, where minimums range from $6.25 to $8.25 an hour. Some small business owners say raising the minimum wage will force them to cut employees’ hours or jobs. Higher minimums were already approved this year in 10 states, the District of Columbia and Seattle. Ken Jarosch thinks he’ll have to raise prices and hire fewer part-timers for his Elk Grove Village, Illinois, Jarosch Bakery if the state’s minimum rises. Illinois’ referendum is non-binding, giving the state Legislature the voters’ opinion on the measure. Jarosch’s costs would rise about 5.5 percent if the wage rises from $8.25 to $10. He has about a dozen high school students earning minimum wage out of his staff of 60. “I’d have to increase my prices about 2.5 or 3 percent,” says Jarosch. He’s also concerned about a proposed increase of Chicago’s minimum to $13. If that happens, he may boost pay even more to prevent workers from leaving to take jobs in the city. Companies are more likely to raise prices than cut jobs. Thirty percent would pass along an increase to customers, according to a May survey by Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management. Fourteen percent said they’d cut hours and nearly 12 percent said they’d lay off employees.

SBA accepting Small Business Week Award Nominations

In this Oct. 24 photo, Ken Jarosch, owner of Jarosch Bakery, poses for a portrait with two skilled workers at the family bakery, in Elk Grove Village, Ill. Jarosch thinks he’ll have to raise prices and hire fewer part-timers for his bakery if the state’s minimum wage rises.

Minimum wage referendums Alaska, currently $7.75, would rise to $8.75 Jan. 1 Arkansas, currently $6.25, would rise to $7.50 Jan. 1 Illinois (non-binding, giving voters’ opinion only), currently $8.25, would rise to $10 Nebraska, currently $7.25, would rise to $8 Jan. 1 South Dakota, currently $7.25, would rise to $8.50 Jan. 1

another $1 in 2016. “That’s not going to break my bank,” says Poore, owner of Shirts101. If workers earn more, they’ll have more money to spend and help the economy grow, Poore says. “They can’t buy it if they don’t have the dough.” Kristin Kohn voluntarily raised the minimum wage at her Indianapolis gift shop, Silver in the City, to $10.10 an hour when Obama signed an executive order on federal contractors’ pay. She previously paid workers $8.50. Indiana’s minimum is $7.25. The higher wage costs her about 1 percent in profit, but she says it’s worth it. “It’s important to have quality employees who care about what they’re doing,” she says.

The U.S. Small Business Administration - Alaska district office has announced the opening of SBA’s online portal and is ready to accept nominations for its 2015 National Small Business Week Awards, including the annual Small Business Person of the Year award. SBA has been following the mantra - Smart, Bold and Accessible in the way the agency conducts business. This is now the third year SBA has been using the online portal submission process, a great and smart improvement from years past. The improved dedicated web portal http://awards.sba. gov provides all the guidelines and has made it much easier to submit and track submissions of nominees for National Small Business Week. All nominations must be submitted online, postmarked or hand delivered to the SBA no later than 3 p.m. EST, Jan. 5, 2015. In addition to the portal, nominations can also be sent directly to SBA’s Alaska District Office. For contact information and other District Office information visit online at www.sba.gov/ak, call 800-755-7034 or visit in person at 420 L Street, Suite 300, Anchorage, Alaska.

Support, with limits Kohn isn’t alone. Eighty-one percent of small business owners who pay hourly wages pay above the minimum, according to a survey by The Hartford. Two-thirds of those owners support raising the federal minimum. But as much as some owners believe the minimum wage should rise, higher rates pose a challenge. Andy Carlson budgets each year for a higher minimum wage because Colorado’s minimum, now $8, rises with the cost of living. About five of the 60 staffers at his two Ace Hardware stores in Denver earn the minimum. He believes the minimum should rise along with inflation, but he’s concerned about the calls for $10.10 per hour. That big an increase may lead him to not hire as much. “At some point, there’s a business reality that we can’t continue to add people regardless of the cost,” Carlson says. C

Swift pulls music from Spotify NEW YORK (AP) — Spotify stopped streaming Taylor Swift’s music at her request Monday, setting up a business struggle between the leading purveyor of a new music distribution system and the industry’s most popular artist. The music streaming service sounded like a spurned boyfriend in a statement announcing the split. It said Swift’s management told it to pull the music late last week and it was done Monday, so all of her songs are no longer available to its 40 million users. The decision means that a large number of fans will have only one option to hear Swift’s new album, “1989,” and that’s to buy it, which hundreds of thousands of people have already done. Music’s most influential artist is simultaneously making a political statement and a savvy business move. Music streaming services and file sharing have sharply cut into music sales for artists over the past couple of years. Many artists complain that the fees Spotify pays to record labels and music publishers, with a portion eventually funneled to musicians, is too small.

Nation & World

Around the World In final hours of $4 billion campaign, no avoiding pesky political commercials LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — No, dear voter, it wasn’t a dream. If you sat down in front of a television in Arkansas lately, you really did see that many political ads. Some of you might even argue the final days of this election season have been a nightmare. “There is so much negative advertising from the politicians that I don’t know what they do stand for,” said Jason Mizell, who cast an early ballot Friday at a Little Rock library. And not just in Arkansas. Across the country, in the first election since both parties fully embraced the new world of campaign finance created by Supreme Court decisions, including Citizens United, the television ads during the campaign’s final hours were practically nothing but politics. Total federal spending was expected to reach the $4 billion mark, pushing these midterm elections to record levels. Deep-pocketed donors funneled millions to outside groups, which in many races accounted for more than two-thirds of the spending in competitive races.

Republicans aiming to win Senate control; Democrats hoping to limit losses WASHINGTON — On a final, furious day of campaigning, Republicans strained to capture control of the Senate while Democrats struggled to limit their congressional losses in elections midway through an unpopular President Barack Obama’s second term. “The spending, the borrowing, the taxing, the overregulation, the slow growth. ... These people need to be stopped,” Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said of the Democrats on Monday, urging voters to support him and GOP candidates everywhere. He would be in line to control the Senate’s agenda as majority leader if Republicans win on Tuesday. Democrats weighed down by Obama’s unpopularity kept their distance from him and looked to a costly turn-out-thevote operation in the most competitive Senate races to save their seats and their majority. “There are two people on the ballot tomorrow: me and Scott Brown,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire as she made the rounds of six campaign stops on the race’s final full day. The cost of the campaign climbed toward $4 billion, and there seemed no end to the attack ads on television — or to the requests for donations keep them on the air.

Ferguson no-fly didn’t restrict press; recordings show aim was to keep media away WASHINGTON — The White House said Monday a no-fly zone the U.S. government imposed over Ferguson, Missouri, for nearly two weeks in August should not have restricted helicopters for news organizations that wanted to operate in the area to cover violent protests there. Audio recordings obtained by The Associated Press showed the Federal Aviation Administration working with local authorities to define a 37-square-mile flight restriction so that only police helicopters and commercial flights could fly through the area, following demonstrations over the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. The Obama administration’s defense of its actions centered on a provision of obscure federal regulations intended to allow press flights as long as they meet certain conditions. White House spokesman Josh Earnest sidestepped questions about conversations on the tapes showing police working with the FAA to keep media away. “In this case, what the FAA says is that they took the prudent step of implementing the temporary flight restriction in the immediate aftermath of reports of shots fired at a police helicopter, but within 12 to 14 hours, that flight restriction was updated in a way to remove restrictions for reporters who were seeking to operate in the area,” Earnest said. On the tapes, an FAA manager is heard assuring a St. Louis County Police Department official that the updated restrictions would allow planes to land at nearby LambertSt. Louis International Airport but, “It will still keep news people out. ...The only way people will get in there is if they give them permission in there anyway so ... it still keeps all of them out.”

Supreme Court has tough questions for both sides in ‘born in Jerusalem’ passport case WASHINGTON — Middle Eastern politics infused the Supreme Court’s arguments Monday over a disputed law that would allow Americans born in Jerusalem to list their birthplace as Israel on their U.S. passports. The justices appeared divided over whether the law should be struck down as unconstitutional, as the Obama administration wants, or put into effect as a result of a lawsuit filed by the parents of Jerusalem-born Menachem Zivotofsky. Twelve-year-old Menachem, a baby when the case began in 2003, and his parents sat through the hour-long argument that saw justices wrestle with questions of the president’s primacy in matters of foreign affairs and the effect the court’s eventual decision could have on simmering tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. Justice Elena Kagan called Jerusalem a “tinderbox” at the moment and said the outcome of the case would be watched closely. “History suggests that everything is a big deal with respect to the status of Jerusalem,” Kagan said. On the other side, Justice Antonin Scalia said of the law, “If it is within Congress’ power, what difference does it make whether it antagonizes foreign countries?”

Islamic State group slaughters more families in Iraqi Sunni tribe; over 200 recently slain BAGHDAD — Islamic State group militants shot and killed 36 Sunni tribesmen, women and children in public Monday, an Iraqi official and a tribal leader said, pushing the total number of members slain by the extremists in recent days to more than 200. Sheik Naim al-Gaoud, a senior figure in the Al Bu Nimr tribe, said the militant group killed 29 men, four women and three children, lining them up in the village of Ras al-Maa, north of Ramadi in Anbar province. The tribal leader said that 120 families were still trapped there. “These massacres will be repeated in the coming days unless the government and its security forces help the trapped people,” al-Gaoud said. An official with the Anbar governor’s office corroborated the account of Monday’s killings. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to brief journalists. — The Associated Press

World Trade Center reopens By VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press

NEW YORK — Thirteen years after the 9/11 terrorist attack, the resurrected World Trade Center has opened for business — marking an emotional milestone for both New Yorkers and the nation. Some staffers of publishing giant Conde Nast began working at 1 World Trade Center on Monday. The 104-story, $3.9 billion skyscraper dominates the Manhattan skyline. The publishing giant becomes the first commercial tenant in America’s tallest building. It’s the centerpiece of the 16-acre site where the decimated twin towers once stood and where more than 2,700 people died on Sept. 11, 2001, buried under smoking mounds of fiery debris. “The New York City skyline is whole again, as 1 World Trade Center takes its place in Lower Manhattan,” said Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns both the building and the World Trade Center site. The agency began moving into neighboring 4 World Trade Center last week. He said 1 World Trade Center “sets new standards of design, construction, prestige and sustainability; the opening of this iconic building is a major milestone in the transformation of Lower Manhattan into a

thriving 24/7 neighborhood.” With construction fences gone and boxes of office equipment in place, the company moved into what Foye called “the most secure office building in America.” Prior to the move, Conde Nast addressed any issues employees might have had about moving into the tower. The architectural firm, T.J. Gottesdiener of the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, says it took extra measures to strengthen the steel-and-concrete structure. It says it is a much stronger structure than the twin towers. Starting Monday, more than 170 employees moved into five of Conde Nast’s 25 floors, the company said. By early 2015, about 3,000 more staffers will move in. The building is 60 percent leased, with another 80,000 square feet going to the advertising firm Kids Creative, the stadium operator Legends Hospitality, the BMB Group investment adviser, and Servcorp, a provider of executive offices. The government’s General Services Administration signed up for 275,000 square feet, and the China Center, a trade and cultural facility, will cover 191,000 square feet. The eight-year construction of the 1,776-foot high skyscraper came after years of political, financial and legal infighting that threatened to derail the project. The bickering slowly died

One World Trade Center stands between the transportation hub, left, still under construction, and 7 World Trade Center, right, Monday, in New York. Thirteen years after the 9/11 terrorist attack, the resurrected World Trade Center is again opening for business, marking an emotional milestone for both New Yorkers and the United States as a whole.

down as two other towers started going up on the southeast end of the site: the now completed 4 World Trade Center whose anchor tenant is the Port Authority, which started moving in last week, and 3 World Trade Center, which is slowly rising. The area has prospered in recent years beyond anyone’s imagination. About 60,000 more residents now live there — three times more than before 9/11 — keeping streets, restaurants and shops alive even after Wall Street and other offices

close for the day. Still, it’s a bittersweet victory, one achieved with the past in mind as the architects created 1 World Trade Center. T.J. Gottesdiener of the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill told The Associated Press that the high-rise was built with steel-reinforced concrete that makes it as terror attack-proof as possible. He said the firm went beyond the city’s existing building codes to achieve that. “We did it, we finally did it,” he said.

Egypt, Gulf Arab allies eye anti-militant alliance By HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press

CAIRO — Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait are discussing the creation of a military pact to take on Islamic militants, with the possibility of a joint force to intervene around the Middle East, The Associated Press has learned. The alliance would also serve as a show of strength to counterbalance their traditional rival, Shiite-dominated, Iran. Two countries are seen as potential theaters for the alliance to act, senior Egyptian military officials said: Libya, where Islamic militants have taken over several cities, and Yemen, where Shiite rebels suspected of links to Iran have seized control of the capital. The discussions reflect a new assertiveness among the Middle East’s Sunni powerhouses, whose governments — after three years of post-Arab Spring turmoil in the region — have increasingly come to see Sunni Islamic militants and Islamist political movements as a threat. The U.S. Arab allies’ consideration of a joint force illustrates a desire to go beyond the international coalition that the United States has put together to wage an air campaign against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have participated in those strikes in Syria. The officials said the alliance under consideration was not intended to intervene in Iraq or Syria but to act separately to address other extremist hot spots. Three Egyptian military officials discussed details of the talks and a fourth confirmed their comments. A Gulf official, who is aware of the discussions, also told The Associated Press that the governments were coordinating on how to deal with Libya, and the talks were “ongoing on wider cooperation on how to deal with extremists in the region.” He and the Egyptian officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks remain secret. Talks on an alliance against extremists are well advanced, the Egyptian officials said. But the further idea of forming a joint force is more distant, and there are differences among the countries over the size of any force, funding and headquarters, and over whether to seek Arab League or U.N. political cover for operations, one of the Egyptian officials said. Past atC

tempts at a pan-Arab military force have fallen apart. Still, even if no joint force is agreed on, the alliance would coordinate military action, aiming at quick, pinpoint operations against militants rather than longer missions, the officials said. The countries have already shown an unprecedented willingness to intervene together. Egypt and the UAE cooperated in carrying out airstrikes against Islamic militants in Libya during the summer, according to U.S. and Egyptian officials, and last month Egypt carried out strikes of its own. Egypt’s government has denied both operations. Egypt’s president, former military chief Abdel-Fattah elSissi, has warned repeatedly that Islamic extremists must be dealt with in multiple places, not just in Iraq and Syria. In a September interview with the AP, he said “a comprehensive counterterrorism strategy in the region” is needed. In Washington, asked if the U.S. was aware of the discussions, Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said, “We’re not privy to that. I wouldn’t speak to it.” He would not elaborate. The spokesman for Egypt’s presidency, Alaa Youssef, denied that creating a joint rapid deployment force, complete with a headquarters, was part of the “routine” discussions between Egypt and its Arab allies on a strategy to combat extremism. The Egyptian military officials said top generals from the countries — including at times, their chiefs of staff — have held multiple rounds of talks. Two of the Egyptian military officials said they had participated in the discussions, while the other two said they had been briefed on them. Under consideration, they said, is the establishment of a core force made up of elite troops with aircraft and access to a pool of intelligence gathered by members of the alliance. To prepare for such a force, bilateral and multilateral war games have been held over the past year among the countries to promote harmony among their troops and weapons systems, the Egyptian officials said. Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in particular, have elite counterterrorism units, and the Gulf countries have sophisticated air forces, largely purchased from the United States. The officials said Jordan

and Algeria had also been approached to join. “It will only be announced when it is ready to go and we have an agreement on everything,” said the most senior of the Egyptian officials. The countries involved intend to get a “nod” of approval from the United States, the officials said. However, the idea

of a joint force reflects skepticism among the countries that Washington is prepared to pursue militants beyond the antiIslamic State group operation, they said. In Libya, Islamic militants have controlled the capital, Tripoli, and the second-largest city, Benghazi, for the past two months.

Eagles’ Foles snaps clavicle PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Back in first place, the Philadelphia Eagles will try to stay there without their quarterback and their defensive captain. Nick Foles has a broken clavicle and it’s uncertain when he’ll return. Middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans is out for the rest of the season after tearing his right Achilles tendon, according to a person familiar with the injury who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team didn’t release details. Also, right guard Todd Herremans, already playing with a torn left biceps, has an ankle injury. Coach Chip Kelly said Monday that Foles, Ryans and Herremans were having MRI exams to determine the extent of their injuries. Ryans was placed on injured reserve. Foles was injured on a sack by Whitney Mercilus in the first quarter of Philadelphia’s 31-21 win over Houston on Sunday. Mark Sanchez replaced Foles and led the NFC East-leading Eagles (6-2) to victory in his first action since 2012. Sanchez will make his first start in 23 months under the prime-time lights next Monday night against the Carolina Panthers (3-5-1). Romo should play Sunday IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo’s back was the top priority for the Dallas Cowboys on their long plane ride to London. Even higher than the comfort of owner Jerry Jones’ wife. “Gene will sit up in the bulkhead,” Jones joked a day before Monday’s flight. “Romo will lounge on the way over. You don’t think it’d be me, do you?” Assuming Romo’s third back injury in 18 months makes it through the nine-hour flight no worse for the wear, the next question will be how much preparation time he can handle. Romo missed practice all last week and watched Sunday while backup Brandon Weeden failed to get Dallas into the end zone until a 28-17 loss to Arizona was out of reach. The Cowboys were scheduled to land in London on Tuesday morning, hoping to get into their routine as much as possible ahead of Sunday’s game against Jacksonville. So far this season, that plan

He wanted to change the subject to Sunday night’s game against Chicago. So shortly after the team announced that he’d signed a multiyear contract extension, McCarthy lasted all of six questions before he tried steering the discussion in another direction. “Can we talk about the Bears now?” McCarthy said, referring to the Packers’ upcoming game Sunday night against their NFC AP Photo/Kathy Willens North rivals.

Cubs look to Maddon to snap curse JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO — Joe Maddon’s unusual road to the manager’s office at Wrigley Field included a job interview at an RV park in Pensacola, Florida. The first public stop was a bar across the street from the iconic ballpark, where Maddon offered to buy a beer and a shot for everyone in the room. “The Hazleton way,” he said in tribute to his Pennsylvania hometown. If the beginning of Maddon’s partnership with the Cubs is any indication, this is going to be one interesting ride. Maddon brought his unconventional style to Chicago on Monday when he was introduced as the Cubs’ fifth manager since the start of the 2010 season, replacing Rick Renteria after just one

year on the job. Flanked by smiling executives Jed Hoyer and Theo Epstein, he slipped on a pinstriped No. 70 jersey and repeatedly said how he excited he was about his new job. Perhaps more importantly, at least for a century’s worth of frustrated Cubs fans, he talked about winning — right now. “Listen, for me, I’m going to be talking playoffs next year. OK, I’m going to tell you that right now,” said Maddon, who got a $25 million, five-year contract — making him one of the highest paid managers in the game, “because I can’t go to spring training and say another thing. I’m just incapable of doing that. Why would you even report?” The 60-year-old Maddon had a 754705 record in nine seasons in Tampa Bay, leading the club to four playoff ap-

pearances, two AL East titles and a fivegame loss to Philadelphia in the 2008 World Series. The two-time AL Manager of the Year also was the bench coach for six seasons under Angels manager Mike Scioscia before he was hired by Tampa Bay in November 2005. The Rays went 77-85 this year, and Maddon opted out of his contract after Andrew Friedman left Tampa Bay’s front office to take over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 14. The Cubs already had a manager in Renteria, but Epstein felt he had to act on Maddon’s free agency. “You wrestle with those things. As a person, I didn’t want to do it,” said Epstein, who also interviewed Maddon for the manager job with the Red Sox before he hired Terry Francona ahead of the 2004 season. “I don’t want to ever

be unfair to someone else. But as an executive and as someone charged with winning a World Series here, I had no choice but to do it. It was clearly the right move for the Cubs.” After Epstein confirmed with Major League Baseball that Maddon had opted out of his contract, Hoyer informed Renteria about what was going on. Then Epstein and Hoyer flew to Florida to meet with Maddon, who was traveling cross country with his wife, Jaye. “We kind of sat behind the Cousin Eddie. That’s our RV, the Cousin Eddie, a 43-foot Winnebago,” Maddon said, “and we sat back there and pretty much just talked philosophy about how this is all going to work. For me, that was the most important thing. That’s what I needed to know, that we were philosophically aligned.”

Molitor takes on challenge of resurrecting Twins DAVE CAMPBELL AP Sports Writer

MINNEAPOLIS — The last time the Minnesota Twins searched for a manager, Paul Molitor was in the mix. He withdrew from consideration, with the franchise’s future uncertain during Major League Baseball’s failed attempt to eliminate two clubs. The job didn’t open for another 13 years, but this time Molitor was ready. The challenge he accepted is to help turn around a team that lost 92 or more games in each of the last four seasons. The Twins announced Monday they had agreed to a three-

year contract for the Hall of Fame infielder and native of Minnesota, who will be introduced Tuesday as Ron Gardenhire’s replacement during a news conference at Target Field. “It’s pretty exciting. I’m a huge Molitor fan,” second baseman Brian Dozier said. “He’s a bright individual, with a better IQ in the game of baseball than anyone I’ve ever been around. He’s just an exceptional man.” This is the first managing job at any level for Molitor, who has the 10th-most hits in major league history. He spent 2014 as a coach on Gardenhire’s staff. Prior to that, he served for 10 seasons as a minor league C

instructor in the organization, a noted influence on many young players. Three finalists who had multiple interviews with general manager Terry Ryan were Molitor, Boston Red Sox bench coach Torey Luvollo and Twins minor league manager Doug Mientkiewicz, according to reports. Matching the organization’s patient, deliberate style, Ryan took his time with the search before settling on the candidate widely believed to be the favorite all along, particularly given the franchise’s penchant for promoting from within. “I know he hasn’t managed, but I don’t think that should be a problem at all, just because

his knowledge of the game. He’s been around the game for so long now,” Dozier said. “It’s just taking all he’s learned over his career and just going on the other side of it now.” Molitor, 58, will be the 13th manager of the Twins, who will begin their 55th season. He was an initial candidate in 2001 when Tom Kelly retired, after serving as bench coach during Kelly’s last two years, but Gardenhire got the job then. Gardenhire led the Twins to the AL Central title in his first year, the first of six on his watch, and a spot in the 2002 AL championship series. The last of those division titles was as late as 2010, but gaps in

the organizational talent pool quickly caught up with a club that was revered throughout the previous decade playing in the dingy, low-revenue Metrodome as one of best-run in baseball. These days, the fan base is filled with frustration. Ryan, long one of the most revered decision-makers in the game, has not been immune from the criticism, either, and he realized the importance of this hire. Molitor’s Hall of Fame and 3,000-hit club credentials were pluses, sure, but his reputation of valuable work with prospects in his role as a roving tutor specializing in baserunning and infield play were equal strengths for Ryan to assess.

Nets celebrate home opener by routing Thunder By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Brook Lopez scored 18 points in his first regularseason game in about 11 months, and the Brooklyn Nets routed the injurydepleted Oklahoma City Thunder 116-85 on Monday night in their home opener. Alan Anderson added 18 points and Deron Williams had 17 points and nine assists for the Nets, who got their leading scorer back on a night the Thunder, already without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, lost yet another player to injury. Reggie Jackson scored 23 points in his season debut after missing the first three games with a sprained right ankle, but the Thunder left just as shorthanded as they entered when starting guard Andre Roberson sprained his left foot. He played just 11 ½ minutes

of the first half. GRIZZLIES 93, PELICANS 81 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Marc Gasol scored 16 points, Zach Randolph had 15 and Tayshaun Prince added 14 as the Grizzlies extended their home winning streak to a franchise record 16 straight with a victory over the Pelicans. The Grizzlies, off to a franchise-best 4-0 start, got three double-doubles. Randolph had 11 rebounds to give him a double-double in each of the team’s four games. Gasol (11 rebounds) and Tony Allen (12 points, 11 rebounds) also finished with double-doubles.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana coach Tom Crean suspended three players on Monday for what he described as “poor choices.” Guard Stanford Robinson and forwards Troy Williams and Emmitt Holt will miss the first four games of the season. Crean did not elaborate on the reasoning behind the punishment for returning starters Robinson and Williams. Police cited Holt early Saturday morning for illegal consumption of alcohol, a misdemeanor, and operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol under age 21 following an accident in which he allegedly drove into teammate Devin Davis and caused a head injury. “I think it’s poor choices,” Crean explained on his first weekly radio show of the season. “Does leadership matter? Absolutely. Leadership matters the most when nobody of authority is around, and that’s probably what we’re lacking as much as anything else. But there’s a lot of things that play a part in it and you deal with it the best way you can and you hope that people grow.” For Indiana, it can’t get much worse. In September, junior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell and Robinson entered pretrial diversion programs after being charged in April with consumption of an alcoholic beverage by a minor and possession of false identification. In February, forward Hanner MosqueraPerea, now a junior, was arrested in Bloomington on preliminary drunk driving charges.

Penske supports Keselowski

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Roger Penske on Monday gave his unwavering support to driver Brad Keselowski, who has now been involved in two post-race fights in four races. Keselowski was confronted by Jeff Gordon on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway, where the two had contact on a late restart while racing for the win. Kevin Harvick, who was watching the confrontation from several feet away, pushed Keselowski from behind into a scrum of crew members. That ignited a brief brawl between the Team Penske and Hendrick Motorsports crews. Keselowski and Gordon were bloodied in the melee, but neither driver appeared to throw a punch. Hendrick Motorsports said Monday it is reviewing the matter. NASCAR is doing so as well and could penalize the drivers, crew chiefs or crew members. But Penske does not believe his star driver did anything wrong in a Chase for the Sprint Cup championship the team owner said has “provided great excitement and intense competition. “Brad Keselowski is a champion who competes to win in every race, which is what I expect of him,” Penske said in a statement. “While the actions by others following the race in Texas were unfortunate, Brad has my 100 percent support as we now move on to Phoenix for the next stage of the NASCAR championship.”

Kershaw voted player of year by players NEW YORK — Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was voted the player of the year in balloting by his fellow major leaguers. The players’ union said Monday that Kershaw also won the Marvin Miller Man of the Year award. Kershaw was 21-3 with a major league-best 1.77 ERA. He was voted the NL’s outstanding pitcher and became the first player to win three Players Choice awards in one season since voting began in 1992. Voting was conducted Sept. 16. That was before Kershaw went 0-2 with a 7.82 ERA in a pair of postseason starts against St. Louis.

Nadal has appendix removed BARCELONA, Spain — Rafael Nadal had successful surgery to remove his appendix on Monday and will remain in the hospital for up to two days to recover. A statement from Nadal’s spokesman said the appendectomy was performed at the TEKNON Medical Center in Barcelona by Dr. Segura Movellan and his team. “Everything has gone very well. Thank you for your support,” Nadal tweeted in Spanish after the operation. Nadal first experienced symptoms related to his appendix four weeks ago during a tournament in Shanghai. Because of the surgery, Nadal will miss next week’s ATP finals — The Associated Press in London.

Jahlil Okafor has yet to play a game for Duke. The hype surrounding his arrival is all pegged to potential and what he accomplished against high school players. Had he come up in another era, Okafor would have stood no shot at being named a preseason All-American. Projections weren’t nearly enough for voters to put a freshman on their ballots. Times have changed. Following the precedent set by North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes in 2010, Okafor has become the third freshman in the past five seasons to be named to The Associated Press’ preseason All-America team, released Monday. The rest of the AP’s preseason team has a little more experience: North Carolina junior point guard Marcus

Paige, Wisconsin senior forward Frank Kaminsky, Louisville junior forward Montrezl Harrell and Wichita State junior point Fred VanVleet. Paige was the leading vote getter, named on 58 ballots from the 65-member national media panel, two ahead of Harrell. The 6-foot-1 Paige took a huge leap from his freshman to sophomore seasons, doubling his scoring average (to 17.5 points per game) while becoming one of the nation’s best crunch-time players — once he gets going. A notoriously slow-starter, he spent a good portion of last season pouring it on late: 31 of 35 points and the gamewinner against North Carolina; 11 of 17 points in overtime against Davidson; 11 of 13 in the second half of a win at then-No. 1 Michigan State, 21 of 23 after halftime against Kentucky.

at 116-113, Parsons won a jump ball with Jared Sullinger, tipping it to Ellis, who was fouled by Rajon Rondo on a drive and made both free throws.

CLIPPERS 107, JAZZ 101 LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin scored 31 points, Jamal Crawford added 19 to go over 15,000 in his career and the Clippers defeated the Jazz. Reggie Bullock scored all of his 12 points on 3-pointers and Chris Paul notched his first triple-double with the Clippers, finishing with 13 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Paul showed no ill effects after spraining his left foot a night earlier. Los Angeles went 3-1 playing four games in five nights to start the season. Crawford had missed Sunday’s loss to Sacramento because of bruised ribs. He returned to go over the milestone on a floating jumper at 6:53 of the fourth. He has 15,003 points.

Sacramento showed no signs of fatigue after beating the Clippers the day before in Los Angeles. Collison secured the win by hitting two free throws with 8.7 seconds remaining.

DALLAS — Chandler Parsons scored 29 points, including a key 3-pointer to help Dallas hang on after going up by 30 before halftime for the second time in two home games, and the Mavericks beat the Celtics.

Sports Briefs

Trevor Ariza hit six 3-pointers and scored 24 points to help Houston improve to 4-0. The Rockets made 16 of 34 3-pointers and dominated the Sixers 47-31 on the boards. Harden made his first 17 free throws and the Rockets had assists on 27 of 32 field goals. Tony Wroten led the winless Sixers (0-4) with 20 points and K.J. McDaniels had 14. Ariza picked up in Philadelphia where he left off in March when he scored a career-high 40 points and spoiled Allen Iverson’s jersey retirement celebration night. Playing for Washington, Ariza made all six 3-point attempts in the first quarter for 24 points and finished 14 of 23 from the floor overall.

Harrell, who received 56 votes, was a role player during Louisville’s national-title run in 2013, taking a backseat to players like Russ Smith and Peyton Siva. He’s expected to hoist the talented Cardinals on his broad shoulders this season. Kaminsky turned himself into an All-American in his three years with Wisconsin. The 7-footer was little more than a role player his first two seasons in Madison, averaging 4.2 points as a sophomore. He made one of the most dramatic improvements in the country last season, becoming a nightmare matchup with his ability to score inside or out and swat shots away on defense. VanVleet had a difficult road to get here. His father, Fred Manning, was shot and killed in 1999 when he was 5, so he and his brother Darnell were raised their mother, Susan. C

Lake project. Although the resolution was voted down 6-2, McClure received 34 emails of support. “I did that in response to the massive outpouring of negativity from the people at that particular public hearing,” said McClure. “The people of Moose Pass overwhelmingly did not want this thing.” McClure said her constituents haven’t expressed renewed opposition to the project. While she won’t be at this meeting, she said she’ll be “very apprised of what goes on.” In 2010 and 2011, Michael Cooney, a forestry consultant in Moose Pass, criticized the Grant Lake project in letters to the HEA board of directors, the Alaska Energy and Electrical Cooperative, and FERC. He plans to attend the meeting to learn the specifics of HEA’s updated plan. “I support hydropower and alternative energy, but only so long as they make sense,” he said. “Considering what we know about hydropower, I don’t think it makes sense to do it on a fish stream unless the benefits are substantial.” Cooney also claimed that HEA’s characterization of upper Grant Creek as poor fish habitat was misleading. “The original studies showed that the lower reach (of Grant Creek), just above where the powerhouse would be, actually had the highest concentration of rainbow trout,” Cooney said. “So it seems a little bit disingenuous to me to claim that it’s useless habitat.” If HEA submits a draft license application in February, FERC will hold a 90-day comment period before allowing a final application. Salzetti said that HEA’s future timeline depends on what other agencies and stakeholders say during this period. “The whole licensing process is designed to get that comment and input,” said Salzetti. “We’ve conducted the studies that we collaboratively agreed to study. We revised as we got the results, and we designed the project based on the information from those things. This draft license application ... will say ‘here’s what we think is the optimum solution, based on all of our collaboration and efforts to date, and what do you think?’”

Lodge on Oct. 20, according to the affidavit. Hart’s shoe tread matched the suspect’s shoeprints from the two September burglaries. Hart told police he committed the burglaries “because of a heroin addiction,” according to the report. Hart was arrested for three counts of burglary in the second degree, three counts of second degree theft and three counts of criminal mischief in the third degree. All nine charges are class C felonies, which carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison and up to $50,000 fine for each count. All three burglaries occurred

while the businesses were closed. Video surveillance at Arby’s captured a suspect that gained entry by prying open the west loading door. The man appeared to be gesturing to another person, but nobody else was seen from the camera angle. The suspect on tape carried an axe and sledgehammer and destroyed the safe and took several thousand dollars in cash. Damage exceeded $750, according to the affidavit. Video footage from Lucky Diamond captured two men entering the building at about 1:30 a.m. by prying open the rear door. The value of stolen property and damage both exceeded $750 each, according to the report. In the two burglaries, police noticed a man wearing a ski mask and white Nike shoes and gloves. The second suspect in

the Lucky Diamond burglary had long hair in a French braid underneath a baseball cap, according to the report. Kenai police responded to a report of a burglary on Oct. 20 that occurred at the Moose Lodge. Evidence indicated two people were involved, based on footprints from an office window into the building. Cash and gift cards were stolen and the value of the stolen property and damage to the building both exceeded $750 each, according to the report. Hart is scheduled to go to trial in January for a separate case after he failed to appear for a court date on July 30. Superior Court Judge Carl Bauman issued a warrant for his arrest, which he was served when arrested on Oct. 27. Hart is currently jailed at

aside their gubernatorial ambitions to join a ticket seen as giving Parnell a stronger challenge. Parnell also has been mired in a scandal over his response to allegations of sexual assault and other misconduct within the Alaska National Guard. Since statehood, Alaska has only had one third-party governor, Wally Hickel, representing the Alaskan Independence Party. Walker, a Hickel protege, changed his party affiliation from Republican to undeclared as part of this run.

Legalized pot?

ization, the Marijuana Policy Project. Supporters of Ballot Measure 2 said legalization would free up law enforcement to focus on more serious drug crimes and bring in additional revenue for the state. Opponents, including local governments and Alaska Native and health care groups, worried about the effect of mass marketing on kids. The most recent attempt to legalize pot in Alaska failed in 2004.

Young vs. Dunbar

Voters in Alaska and Oregon are deciding whether to join Washington and Colorado in legalizing and regulating recreational use of marijuana. The pro-pot forces outspent the opposition by a huge margin, funded largely by a national group that backs legal-

U.S. Rep. Don Young ran into a few snags — many of his own doing — during his bid for a 22nd term. Young, the longest serving Republican in the House, over the last year has made headlines more for gaffes than his work. The latest were comments he made to high school

property, stepped down from his seat as to support Schneider. Shellie Croom, a single mother, attended the Oct. 28 meeting to ask the city to approve the permit. She said Soldotna needs more daycare options for working parents. Schneider, Croom said, offered flexible pick-up and dropoff times that worked with her schedule. “Put yourself as a parent,” Croom said. “Here is someone that is actually going to work with you and give you opportunities, and work with you on your pick up times.” Samantha Morris, a neighbor of Schneider’s, said the daycare would make traffic congestion in the area worse, create safety issues and increase noise pollution. At the special meeting Morris said if the commission approved the daycare, it would be against the wishes of the neighborhood. Shelia Casey, a community member located on Schneider’s street, said she was concerned the city would be unable to enforce its own regulations on the daycare. The Board of Adjustment required available parking, set drop-off and pick-up times to minimize the effect on resi-

dential traffic flow, limited the number of children on the property, and set an expiration date for the permit. City Planner John Czarnezki said the city found that Schneider would be able to meet the board’s recommendations. In addition to Ms. Schneider’s current request, the city has received six conditional use permit applications for daycares since 2008, all of which were approved, Czarnezki said. Commission member Daniel Nelson was acting commission chair at the meeting because both chair Colleen Denbrock and vice chair Brandon Foster were not in attendance to vote at the meeting. Schneider said she would have rescheduled had she known two votes would not be counted at the special meeting. Nelson said the intersection was “a sticking point for the commission.” He said while the city should be doing everything possible to accommodate local residents, the basis for a permit is based on whether or not the business is in harmony and compatible with city standards. Nelson said he did not believe the daycare was compat-

Wildwood Pretrial Facility. His next court date is Nov. 7 in Kenai District Court. Kenai Police chief Gus Sandahl said the case is still under investigation with interest in locating the second suspect caught on tape in the burglary. According to the affidavit, the second suspect in the Lucky Diamond burglary was described as a white male with a white baseball cap, wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, white facemask, jeans, brown shoes and wore multi-colored gloves. He had long hair in a French braid underneath his hat. Anyone with information can call Kenai police at 2837879. Reach Dan Balmer at daniel.balmer@peninsulaclarion. com.

students — who recently lost one of their own to suicide — saying lack of support from family and friends contributed to people killing themselves. He later apologized. Young far outraised his Democratic challenger, 30-year-old Forrest Dunbar, but caught flack for his dismissive treatment of Dunbar during a major fisheries debate, in which Dunbar held his own against Young. The Ivy League-educated Dunbar has run a buzzworthy, social media-centered campaign, with the tagline “Run Forrest Run” and crisscrossed the state. Forrest Nabors, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Alaska Anchorage, called Dunbar “the best candidate running for anything this year,” but he also thought it would be hard to knock off Young. ible. Schneider said during the process she felt bullied by her neighbors. She said she received an anonymous threat over the phone the she would not get approved for the permit because of her father’s political position. Schneider’s mother Adele Bearup, and father Tom Bearup spoke in support of the daycare at the special meeting. Tom Bearup said while he respected the commission’s choice, he did not agree with it. Adele Bearup said she did not understand how the city had missed the point that regardless of their choice, Schneider would legally be able to babysit five additional children on her property and would not be accountable to any regulatory body. “Now she can do what she wants,” Adele Bearup said. “I am really sad about that.” Schneider said does not feel defeated by the final verdict. She has 14 days to appeal the decision, but is looking at other options to see which route she wants to take. Reach Kelly Sullivan at kelly.sullivan@peninsulaclarion. com.

Woman’s childhood boyfriend is plagued by checkered past DEAR ABBY: I’m in love with a man with a big heart. He was my boyfriend when we were both 6 years old. We lost touch for many years, but when I ran into him again we reconnected with a vengeance. We are great together, and I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else. We come from a small town, and he remained there until a year ago when he moved in with me. We now live in a major city and things are very different here. Applying for jobs requires a background check. In the small town we are from, it wasn’t a common practice. He was, to put it gently, quite “mischievous” when he was younger. He has a couple of DUIs, plus a few other things. During the past year he has turned things around, but despite his efforts he has been unable to find work. (He has no felonies.) There are websites to assist felons, but none to assist people like him. He has been to unemployment and temp agencies — nothing. I’m getting desperate. How does someone with a criminal history find employment? — FEELING HELPLESS IN VIRGINIA DEAR FEELING HELPLESS: That’s a good question, and it’s one that legislators have been looking into. Some laws in certain jurisdictions limit an employer’s ability to look at criminal records. It might be worth your while to discuss this with

a labor lawyer in your state to find out what the statutes are, because it is not the same in all states. While it might not solve your problem, it will give you a realistic idea of what the two of you are facing in the future. DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my dear husband for 20 years. Several years after our wedding, I found Abigail Van Buren out he was dipping chewing tobacco. I was very upset because I realized he had been keeping a major secret from me. He has tried to quit several times, but starts up again. It makes me furious every time I see proof of this disgusting habit. I have had to lie to my kids when evidence was left in his truck. I’m at my wits’ end. I know he will quit only when he is ready, but how do I live with it? — UNHAPPY ABOUT IT IN TEXAS DEAR UNHAPPY: People who are addicted to chewing tobacco are at risk for cancers of the mouth, tongue and throat. I would be shocked if

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel and know full well what is possible here. You might want to try a different approach or find another way of initiating an important conversation. Perhaps this situation needs to be left alone for now. Tonight: A must appearance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You’ll sense that this conversation will be unusually interesting and will have positive results. You know what has to happen, so do it. You might consider taking a different approach. Tonight: Relax with a good movie. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might trigger someone else, and vice versa. Fortunately, this situation is temporary, but it still will affect you. Think in terms of gains and a change of pace. Allow your creativity to emerge. Say “yes” to trying something new. Tonight: Go with the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHYou might decide to let someone else run with the ball. You’ll see that this person wants to demonstrate his or her ability and willingness to lead. You could be delighted by the results, and by how this frees you up. Tonight: Do exactly what you want.

your husband’s dentist hasn’t discussed this with him more than once, because these cancers can be not only disfiguring but also life-threatening, IF the patient can be saved. There are medical interventions to help people who are hooked on tobacco — but only if they WANT to be tobacco-free. An online community, TheQuit.org, offers information on helping someone stop chewing tobacco. Check it out. My advice for living with an addict is to join a support group. It will help you recognize that you can’t “fix” your husband. He and he alone is responsible for his own fate.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Scorpio and a Moon in Aries. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014: This year you blaze a new path, and you feel much better as the months go by. You often worry or try to secondguess situations. Work on ending that pattern. Try some mediation in order to calm your overactive mind. If you are single, meeting a potential sweetie could occur at any point in your day-to-day life; just be yourself. Toward your next birthday, a friendship might become more. If you are attached, the two of you will become involved in a community project or a new hobby. Return to the days of having more fun as a couple. ARIES can annoy you more than most signs! The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your fiery side tends to conflict with what you want to achieve. You will have to either throw water on your volatile energy or use a lot of self-discipline. Touch base with a dear friend or a trusted loved one who can give you some much-needed insight. Tonight: In the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Know that something is going on behind the scenes that you might not have control over. You could be overwhelmed as a result. Reach out to someone who probably can make better sense of what is going on. Tonight: Get some much-needed R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might want to see a situ-

that forces you to rethink your decisions. You might be overwhelmed by everything you need to do in order to get a personal matter under control. Stay on top of communication, but know when to pull back. Tonight: Keep smiling. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHYour suggestions seem endless, and you’re more willing to take risks. Make sure that your impulsiveness doesn’t take you down a road you might regret later. You’ll have the energy needed to change direction, if need be. Tonight: Tap into a resourceful friend’s mind. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Recognize what is happening within your immediate circle. You might want to cocoon or say little until someone one has made up his or her mind. You won’t want to be responsible for influencing this person’s decision. Touch base with a loved one. Tonight: Stay close to home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might wonder about a choice that seems uncertain yet doable. Keep asking questions, especially if you feel hesitant about taking action. An undiscovered alternative could be waiting just around the corner. Tonight: Catch up on calls, and answer emails. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Remain as direct as possible when dealing with a friend. A money issue could be the source of the problem. Be aware of your spending and how you are allocating your funds. A more upbeat attitude might help you get past a hassle. Tonight: Run some errands.

Thieves find that cards are a gas Dear Readers: Have you heard the horror stories about gas-pump bad guys called “skimmers” who steal personal financial information when you pay at the pump? Well, read on so you can prevent a potential bad situation! Which type of card should you use — debit, credit or gift card? The safest way to protect your information is to pay with cash. However, most of us use cards for convenience, to keep track of spending and, of course, to rack up points! What’s the difference between using a debit or a credit card? If you use a credit card, the transaction generally is completed with no concerns for most cardholders, particularly when there is no PIN (personal identification number) needed. But watch your statements carefully, and if you see any amount you don’t recognize, call the company ASAP, as skimmers may wait weeks or months before using your credit-card information to start a large shopping spree. Debit cards cause problems for many because they use a PIN, and then the thieves using skimmers can get access to your entire bank account! You don’t want that to happen. So, dear readers, think twice and thrice when you slide that card (debit or credit) in the little slot before pumping gas. — Heloise Travel mirror Dear Heloise: When traveling out of town, I realized I did not have a small mirror with me to put on my makeup. I could not get close enough to the hotel bathroom mirror to see. Have no fear; I pulled out my cellphone camera. I used the camera option on my cellphone so I could see myself in the screen, as if taking a “selfie,” and easily put on my makeup. — Sharon G., Bellevue, Neb.

Red panda cubs examine a toy at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo, in Lincoln, Neb., Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2014. The zoo has named the cubs Carson and Willa after famous Nebraskans Johnny Carson and Willa Cather.

Orphaned red panda cub to remain at Virginia zoo ROANOKE, Va. (AP) — A 4-month-old orphaned red panda at the Mill Mountain Zoo is getting a playmate. The Roanoke zoo had planned to move the cub, named Archibald, to another zoo so he could interact with other red pandas. Instead, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ red panda survival program decided to send an orphaned cub from Central Park Zoo in

New York City to Mill Mountain Zoo. The 3 1/2-month-old male panda, who has not yet been named, is expected to arrive Nov. 8, The Roanoke Times (http://bit.ly/1tz88Ye ) reported. The cubs will teach other how to be red pandas by living and playing together, said Robin Lentz, Mill Mountain Zoo’s animal collection curator and interim director.

The owner of this nautical dog named Mindy, pictured in July on the beach of the Kenai River, describes the 12-year-old female as a “purebred party animal that is sassy and classy.” Mindy enjoys being outside and going on boat rides, but spends most of her day napping on the couch.
