Getting the last word Area legislative candidates gather for forum By RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

Candidates in several local races got one last chance to publicly challenge their opponents before Tuesday’s election. About 30 people, including gubernatorial candidate Bill Walker, attended the short, informal debate sponsored by the Central Kenai Peninsula

League of Women Voters, to hear seven candidates weigh on issues like education, renewable energy sources, minimum wage and health care. Several candidates weighed in on education funding and the inherent instability in a system of funding that keeps the state’s districts guessing about finances each year. Incumbent Rep. Kurt Olson, running to keep his House

District 30 seat, said education could be improved in the state by ensuring that projects like the Alaska LNG pipeline were successful, thereby providing opportunities for Alaskan students who are more interested in vocational education than higher education. In addition, Photo by Rashah McChesney/Peninsula Clarion he said, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District should The Central Kenai Peninsula League of Women Voters held be funded adequately by the a debate for several local political candidates on Thursday in See WORD, page A-2 Soldotna.

Corrections A story in Sunday’s Clarion on the Homer Electric Association energy fair contained incorrect information. The Homer energy fair will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Homer High School. A comment was inadvertently cut from the end of a story about marijuana. Braeden Bates’ full comment was, “Who does it harm? It helps people with cancer. As soon as I get home from work I can roll up a joint and relax.” A Sunday headline incorrectly listed the hometown of a man who died in a Seward Highway accident. The man who died in Friday’s crash was from Fairbanks. The Clarion regrets the errors.

U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan watches Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, stump for him during a rally on Sunday in Soldotna.

On the stump for Sullivan Texas senator rallies supporters for Republican candidate By RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

On the second day of stumping for U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz brought a heavily Tea Party-influenced message to Kenai Peninsula voters. During a rally that drew close to 200 people to the Soldotna Sports Center on Sunday, Cruz, R-Texas, sought to

draw comparisons between incumbent Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada. Cruz is one of two highprofile politicians from Outside who are making the rounds in Alaska during the days leading up to the election — former presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be in Anchorage tonight along with

Gov. Sean Parnell and Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Cruz and Sullivan framed Alaska’s race as one of the deciding factors in the Republican Party’s attempt to gain control of the Senate. “On Tuesday, the fate of the country is going to be decided here in Alaska,” Sullivan said. “It is very likely, the control of the United State Senate and whether we continue rubber

stamping the Obama administration’s agenda, (the) explosion of debt, no jobs, liberal judges, whether that continues or we start to roll that back and rip it up by the roots.” Cruz said the nation was focused on Alaska. “A Senate race is, in a real sense, a national battle,” he said. “A good senator, a senator who stands up to fight to See STUMP, page A-10

The huge spike in health insurance premiums in the individual market due to the Affordable Health Care Act hasn’t materialized for employer group plans, the major player in Alaska health insurance says. Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield predicts premiums will rise “in the single digits” for most group policies in 2015. The increases will range between 5 percent and 10 percent depending on the group, according to Jim Grazko, president of Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska. Jim Grazko was named to the position previously held by Jeff Davis, Premera’s Alaska president for many years. Premera’s “small group” plans, from two to 50 members, that are in the ACA metallic plans, will see an average 5.3 percent increase in 2015 preSee RATES, page A-3

Hunting for whale, votes Campaign workers get out the rural Alaska vote By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

BARROW — Three children whiz by on a snowmobile as Gabe Tegoseak, crunching through icy streets in the town that’s as far north as you can go and still be in the United States, is hunting for votes. He’s tired after a late night spent butchering one of three bowhead whales that subsistence hunters towed in from the pewter-colored waters of the

Chukchi Sea. Slabs of blubber cover front yards all over town, and Tegoseak has some whale of his own to cut up and cook at home. But not yet. There is an election coming soon, and doors await his knock. Harold Snowball answers one of them. “Are you a Republican or Democrat, do you mind if I ask?” says Tegoseak. Snowball thinks he’s a registered Democrat but says he votes for who he believes will do a better job.

In this case, that will probably be Alaska’s Democratic U.S. senator, Mark Begich. “Yeah!” Tegoseak says with a fist pump, and later makes a note of this on a spreadsheet. It takes 22 hours and four connections to get from Washington to Barrow, a place where the sun will set two weeks after AP Photo/Gregory Bull Election Day and not rise for two months. Gas is $7 a gallon, Campaign worker Gabe Tegoseak makes a note on a list of off-brand milk nearly $11.

state. “We also need to take a look at the area cost differential again and make sure we’re getting adequate funding,” Olson said. “We got shorted on that a couple of years ago ... I think getting what we deserve out of the pie would be my focus.” Democrat candidate Rocky Knudsen, who is challenging Rep. Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski, to represent House District 29, said school districts needed more funding. “They’re all saying that they’re going to need more funding,” he said “My priority is to get the funding to the schools that they need for teaching kids.” On health care, opinions ranged the gamut on whether the state should have accepted an expanded Medicaid funding through Obamacare. “I think there’s something like 40,000 people that fall into the donut hole that don’t get (Medicaid),” Knudsen said. “These are people that are working people, they’re hard workers ... I believe they certainly deserve to get that.” Chenault said he believed most Alaskans had access to health care. “I don’t know of any hospital that turns people away,” Chenault said. “We need to try to ensure that our Alaskans do have access to health care ... but I don’t believe that we should expand Medicaid and I think that there are other ways to address the lagging health care.” Paul Seaton, who is running unopposed for House District 31, said he had voted to support the Medicaid expansion and would like to see it instituted in the state. Olson and his opponent Shauna Thornton were opposed on the issue. While Thornton said she believed that expanding Medicaid was a good answer, Olsen said the state could not afford it. When answering the question of whether Alaskans had access to quality health care, Olson said he thought “quality” was C

“setting the bar to high.” “I think it should be reasonable health care, instead of quality health care,” he said. “We’re not going to be able to afford quality health care for everybody. We’re never going to be able to afford quality health care, that’s what’s killing the system now.” Each of the candidates said they supported raising the minimum wage. Ballot Measure 3 on the Nov. 4 ballot would increase the state’s minimum wage from $7.75 to $9.75 by 2016. From then on, the state’s minimum wage would be adjusted based on inflation or remain $1 higher than the federal minimum wage, whichever amount is greater. The move means Alaskans would have one of the highest minimum wages in the country. Senate District O candidates, incumbent Peter Micciche, RSoldotna and Eric Treider, both support the measure, but cited different reasons. “There’s a fallacy that minimum wage jobs are high school students that need money,” Treider said. “Half of them are adult women, 88 percent of them are over 20 years old. One-third have children, 55 percent of them work full time, 44 percent have some college... these jobs are vital for people who are in these positions. I believe we should substantially increase the minimum wage.” Micciche took issue with Treider’s statistics. “Well, I’m going to use Alaska statistics. This affects 3 percent of Alaskans. Three percent of Alaskans, and I support the minimum wage increase. I support it for this reason: it’s expensive to live in Alaska and I’d like to see a little bit of a premium on minimum wage here,” Micciche said. “But, ev-

erything you do has unintended consequences.” Thornton said she also supported the increase. “I was one of those workers for quite a many years while I put myself through college,” she said. “A lot of those workers are single women, or they’re women who have been — through no fault of their own — in a situation through domestic violence, who are now divorced, and they need that extra hand to move forward.” Treider and Micciche again sparred over renewable energy. Treider called the issue a central focus of his campaign. “(We’re) trying to actually show a vision of Alaska being a manufacturer, developer and a manufacturer of gear for renewable energy,” he said. “We’re sitting on the second most abundant sources of tide power in the world. We’ve got wind, we’ve got solar. With the oil field jobs diminishing over the years, I think if we could develop an industry around renewable technology, we could develop high-tech, clean, enduring jobs that would last a long time.” Micciche said he supported renewable energy but that prog-

ress on the issue needed to be slow and deliberate. “You know what, when we get it as competitive as oil and gas ... Alaskans will use it,” he said. “Right now, if you go to them and tell them ‘you know what? We expect you to spend 40 percent more for your electricity in your home or 60 percent more for (heat),’ I don’t think they’re going to be willing to do that. I think we have to get there gradually as the technology increases. Right now, we’ve got an economy that’s 92 percent based on oil and gas, it’s going to take a long time for that change to occur.” Thornton said Micciche’s statistic on the state’s economy being oil-dependant was frightening. “We need to diversify our economy and (renewable resource development) is one area that’s very, very able to do that,” she said. Kenai Peninsula voters will get the chance to weigh in on each candidate during the general election on Tuesday. Reach Rashah McChesney at rashah.mcchesney@peninsulaclarion.com.

miums, on average, he said. Groups of 51 to 99 employees will see increases that range from 6 percent to 10 percent. Increases for large group plans, which have more than 100 members will be 7.4 percent on average. Grazko said the average increases for the group plans are similar to those for groups in Washington state, where Premera is also active. “These are overall averages. The cost for a specific plan depends on how it is designed,” he said. The amount of an employee’s deductable or co-share of costs will influence the cost for a particular group plan. “Large group rates can vary widely depending on the size of the group because it’s heavily driven by the claims experience,” wrote Melanie Coon, a spokeswoman for Premera, in an email. “There are going to be a few groups every year who get rate increases due to their claim costs going up more than expected and the overall claims activity (medical costs) of that group. The rate increase is relatively low because there are more people to balance out any high medical costs hitting the group. The trend for the last few years has been steady in the single digits.” Rates for 2015 have been filed with the Division of Insurance for groups enrolled under the Affordable Care Act “metallic” plans, to be effective Jan. 1, while other group policies issued by Premera will see the new rates as they renew through the year. “We’ve had a lot of success in keeping the cost growth down,” he said. Grazko credits employers and employees of firms who have embraced initiatives like employee wellness programs. Surprisingly, Alaska employers seem to have taken to those to a greater degree than in other states like Washington, he said. Premera plans more initiatives to help control costs in 2015. One is a “virtual care”

program that will allow members of plans reach a physician, either their own doctor or a physician in a network, electronically night or day. This could avoid costly trips to emergency rooms and visits to doctors’ offices on very routine matters, Grazko said. Grazko said Alaska medical costs are still 35 percent to 40 percent greater than those for comparable procedures in Washington state and that another cost-control initiative is offered by Premera, a “medical travel” option for patients to get care in the Lower 48 at less cost and to have travel and accommodation expenses paid for. The travel option is becoming more popular. It was suggested by some of Premera’s larger customers who self-fund health costs. It was first made available to them in 2012. The travel benefit will be offered to all groups, as well as those with individual policies in 2015 and 2016, Grazko said. Becky Hultberg, director of the Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association, said she has heard similar reports of only modest increases through insurance carriers she works with as well as brokers who work with several insurers. “The small group market in particular (mostly small companies) seems to be doing a pretty good job of cost management,” Hultberg said. “Our association just renewed our policy for our employees and we were very pleasantly surprised.” Hultberg was previously state Commissioner of Administration before joining the Hospital and Nursing Home Association and in her state position gained considerable experience in health care cost issues while administrating the state active and retired public employee benefit plans. “One of the reasons why a

huge run-up in costs from the Affordable Care Act didn’t materialize was that many group plans already covered things that were among the health law’s new requirements, like 100 percent payment for preventative screenings,” she said. The individual insurance market in Alaska is another story. Rates in this market segment in Alaska will jump an average of 37 percent for Premera members and 27 percent for Moda Health, the two insurers selling to people in the individual market exchange. That’s due to circumstances unique to Alaska, the very limited number of people in the pool and the fact that it includes a small number of people with serious health problems, which raised costs to an unusual extent. “This is all about size of the pool and the risk profile,” Hultberg said. “We heard predictions that this would happen,” so it should be no surprise. Individual insurance exchanges in states like Washington or Oregon, where there are much larger numbers of people enrolled, are actually seeing very small rate increases or even decreases in 2015, said Melanie Coon, a spokeswoman for Premera. Premera’s new “virtual care” program is different than similar services now being offered in the market, Grazko said. The program is set up so that people can consult either their own physician or, if he or she is not available, another physician in Premera’s Alaska network. If this doesn’t work, Premera has contracted with a national firm, Teladoc, to provide their members access to a certified physician anytime and anywhere in the U.S. That physician will be licensed to practice in the state that where the member is located, Grazko said. Teladoc will provide virtual care by phone, online video and image sharing. “This would be useful in a situation where you wake up

in the middle of the night with difficulty breathing. You get immediate consultation,” Grazko said, although a call to 911 might still be needed. Another example is where there are routine questions about taking medication, he said. This could avoid a visit to the physician’s office. There are still charges for virtual care consultations but they will be typically lower than personal visits, although those can still occur. Employers and insurers like Premera are adopting other strategies to help control costs, Coon said. One trend is the rapid growth in Health Savings Plans where employees can set aside part of their earnings to fund medical costs, she said. Some employers contribute to these. “These accounts make people feel like they have more skin in the game,” so that they think about how they are using health care services, Coon said. The result will generally be less utilization of services, and less cost for everyone. Another trend, among insurers as well as medical providers, is more coordination when specific tests or procedures are needed. A good example of this is the use of advanced imaging like MRIs or C-T scans, Coon said. There was a spike in these in Alaska when physicians appeared too quick to suggest them and for patients to request them. Now in many cases approval by insurers is needed. This is not to discourage these tests when needed but to ensure they’re really necessary. Premera and other insurers have working out “best practice” models with health providers on many procedures, and when the usage appears to be deviating from the best practice model the insurer can question it. Also, Coon said, too much radiographic imaging is not good for a person’s health, either.

What Others Say

Juneau looks for sales tax fix As the city’s Tax-Exempt Review Com-

mittee considers altering Juneau’s sales tax, it’s important that the committee suggests a plan that will balance the books for years to come. It’s a balancing act: If too many exemptions go away, Juneau could become an unaffordable place to live. Keep too many, and our city doesn’t have enough revenue, leaving us in the same position we’re in right now. When the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly makes its decision, we hope to see equal taxation for all. People of all ages need paved roads, public transit and other services provided by the city, and the best system is one that treats everyone equally. Based on public input, potential added revenue, and interviews with city leaders and members of the public, we encourage these changes: — Raise the sales tax cap to reflect inflation. It’s been more than two decades since the $7,500 tax cap was set. The cap should be somewhere between $10,000 and $12,500. We disagree with assertion that increasing the tax cap will drive consumers to Anchorage and Seattle for large purchases. For example, the tax on a $20,000 car would be $1,000, far less than the cost of a plane ticket and barging a vehicle back to Juneau. The convenience and time saved will keep people buying local first. — Discontinue out-of-town sales tax exemptions. Those from other Southeast communities will still shop here. They aren’t coming to Juneau because we’re the best bargain in Southeast; they come because we have the largest variety of stores. If Juneau residents are expected to pay taxes, so should everyone else. — Close the sales tax loophole for services. We see no reason why there should be a distinction between selling a product and selling a service. Does a business use fewer community resources simply because it sells the skills of its employees rather than a product off the shelf? The most common example in this argument has been lobbying services, but this loophole also applies to things as varied as legal services, land surveying and housecleaning. — Discontinue the senior sales tax exemption. We were on the fence about this one until Thursday, when so many seniors spoke in favor of doing away with the exemption. Their logic swayed us. Seniors aren’t the only vulnerable people in Juneau. Young families struggle, too. Rather than saying one group deserves a tax exemption and another doesn’t, all should receive equal treatment. — Exempt fuel and electricity from sales taxes. This is one area where we can make Juneau a more affordable place to live for all, and it compensates for the elimination of the senior sales tax exemption. — Exempt food. Like electricity and heating fuel, food is another necessity. Juneau food costs are already about 20 percent higher than the Lower 48 average. Exempting food sales would be another step toward making Juneau more affordable for all residents — no matter their age. The food exemption comes with a cost: It’s unlikely the city can afford to exempt food and increase revenue enough to fill its budget deficit. For that reason, we support a 1 percent increase to the sales tax to 6 percent. The notion of a sales tax increase and targeted exemptions was proposed by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in Friday’s Juneau Empire. The Assembly doesn’t have the ability to do this on its own — It requires voter approval. Tie the increase to the rest of the changes we’ve suggested, and allow voters to decide. The changes we’ve outlined provide a double benefit: They increase revenue and reduce the amount of work needed to maintain the city’s sales tax system. That means fewer employees and lower costs. Regardless of which exemptions the city keeps or eliminates, frugal fiscal management must play a role. While adding revenue, the city has an obligation to continue identifying areas of savings and to cut costs. Like residents and taxpayers, the city also must live within its means, and its review of tax exemptions should be one tier of a bigger financial management plan. — Juneau Empire, Oct. 26

Letters to the Editor Alaskans need to protect their rights Wake up Alaskans! Your rights are disappearing! I’m a 47 year Alaska resident and very worried about our future! Rights of Alaska citizens have been seriously eroded by Governor Parnell and his administration. They are systematically reducing and eliminating public involvement in major governmental decisions. Public input is ignored. Secrecy abounds resulting in greatly increased power for the Governor. Citizens have been left with little or no recourse over decisions affecting their lives. Examples: n Cancelled voter passed Cruise Ship Wastewater bill. n Struck “conserve, enhance and future generations” from DNR mission statement. n Refused Medicaid expansion. Some major policies eliminating citizen’s rights were aborted only by negative public reaction: n Major changes to the Pubic Retiree Health Plan. n House Bill 77 - Dan Sullivan “streamlined the system” by silencing public input on natural resource permitting issues. Education and essential services have suffered budget cuts but the Governor and Legislature are obligating the State to great debt for his priorities, which received significant public opposition: n Juneau road $574 million. n Road to Ambler – Private for Canadian mining company $430 million. n Knik Arm Bridge $1.6 billion n Suisitna Dam $5.2 billion For 30 years the Coastal Management program gave citizens and communities a say in management of Alaska’s coast, fish, and animals. It died in the legislature. A citizen-sponsored initiative to restore it was defeated as the Governor and legislators said it needed modification. Nothing was done. Alaska, with the longest coastline in the United States, is now the only state without a coastal management program. The State initiated lawsuits against citizens. Legislation resulted in prohibitive costs for citizens and non-profits: n Sued former First Lady Bella Hammond and Vic Fisher for $1 million. n Sued Minto for removing a child from a dangerous home. n Attorney General Dan Sullivan pursued a case against subsistence re: Katie John. The biggest concern is secrecy in government! “Public access to government information is a fundamental right that operates to check and balance the actions of elected and appointed officials and to maintain citizen control of government.” Alaska Public Records Act Governor Parnell refused to make public documents critical for controlling the power of state government.

n Oil Tax -Two international oil consulting firms were contracted by the State to produce a model of current tax systems, potential changes to them and produce detailed reports during the legislative session. The Governor refused to release contracted reports and allow the legislature to speak with consultants. n Medicaid Expansion – Refused. n National Guard Report – A lawsuit forced agreement to eventually release the records. Major decisions made in meetings between Governor Parnell and multinational oil companies are not public. n Oil Tax legislation - Created secretly and not vetted by the legislature. FOR THE FIRST TIME The State Treasury is obligated to pay North Slope companies that don’t make a profit 35 – 45% of their losses and also 35% of normal costs for companies without production until oil/gas reaches a pipeline. We receive no profit share. Look it up at #4 http://www.legis.state.ak.us/ PDF/28/F/SB0021-14-5-041213--41213REV-Y.PDF . n Point Thompson – Negotiations between the Governor and Exxon were secret! n Gas Line –“Legislators and their staff will need to sign the confidentiality agreement and complete confidentiality training prior to the sharing of confidential information and any agreements to which DNR and the Department of Revenue are a party.” Citizen power is in the ballot box! Elect honest officials with integrity and a belief in open government who are willing to address problems and solve them in a bipartisan manner. Catherine Bishop Herrnsteen McCarthy Homer

Would high tunnels be so popular without subsidy? Regarding the story “High tunnels here to stay” (Peninsula Clarion, Oct. 28): Sure they are. Everybody can get some free federal government money to build them and get paid, by the feds, for growing food each year. Subtract free money out of the equation and measure the success of the high tunnel program. And all those government paid employees justify their jobs by expressing great success of the free money

program, they manage. I wonder what that costs? Let me see. Two married nurses, I know, qualified for the federal program. Combined income about $150,000. They qualified for the free federal money. Another grower was excited because their adult grandchild qualified. When I asked where the money would come from she answered, “the federal government.” I have a non-government sponsored high tunnel, designed by a friend, who I believe to be a construction genius. I built it at a fraction of the cost of commercially built high tunnels. Of course I do not receive any money, from government, for growing my own food. I have compared my food production of high tunnels with my low tunnels. Not much discussion on low tunnels. They are inexpensive, non-government sponsored and my food production is greater in my low tunnels, for low-to-the-ground-growing plants. If high tunnels are so successful, in growing food, why does the federal government need to put money into the idea? In a free market economy the best ideas are supported by the most successful processes without free government money. Our children and grandchildren will look back at this time and wonder how we could have been so foolish and left them with such a national debt. Ray Southwell Nikiski

Reader disappointed with Clarion stance Your endorsement of Dan Sullivan for the reason you have given disappoints me. Mr. Begich has served Alaska very well and understands the needs of our entire state. Mr. Sullivan does not understand subsistence issues and is on my bad side in the fishing debate. Changing the configuration of the Senate may very well doom Alaska to having Pebble Mine ramrodded through the permitting process and cleared for completion in the salmon streams of Bristol Bay. Ten or 20 years from now our children will deal with the mess and pollution that this will leave behind. This could happen sooner. Mr. Sullivan reopened the case against Katie John. He is certainly not on my side when it comes to the subsistence issues. I feel Mr. Sullivan is fairly ignorant of the issues and concerns of bush Alaskans even though he is connected through his wife. Did you consider Dan Sullivan’s record on women’s health issues? How can you support someone who feels he knows better than women what their health choices should be? I think your reasoning is flawed. Alaska benefits from having a split ticket in the Senate and Mr. Begich is the person who can handle the assignment and make sure all of Alaska’s people are heard. Alaskan’s need to be concerned with their own future first and Mark Begich supports Alaska first. Mindee Morning Kenai

Nation/World

Around the World Party leaders clash over Obama as focus shifts to turnout and Election Day nears WASHINGTON — Claiming new momentum 48 hours before polls open across America, Republicans on Sunday assailed President Barack Obama in a final weekend push to motivate voters as Democrats deployed their biggest stars to help preserve an endangered Senate majority. GOP officials from Alaska to Georgia seized on the president’s low approval ratings, which have overshadowed an election season in which roughly 60 percent of eligible voters are expected to stay home. “This is really the last chance for America to pass judgment on the Obama administration and on its policies,” the GOP’s 2012 presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, said in a message echoed by Republicans across the country on the weekend. The president has avoided the nation’s most competitive contests in recent weeks, but encouraged Democrats to reject Republican cynicism during a Sunday appearance with Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy. “Despite all the cynicism America is making progress,” Obama said, imploring Democrats to vote on Tuesday. “Don’t stay home. Don’t let somebody else choose your future for you.”

Report: Ferguson’s no-fly area zone aimed at media; police had cited safety in request WASHINGTON — The U.S. government agreed to a police request to restrict more than 37 square miles of airspace surrounding Ferguson, Missouri, for 12 days in August for safety, but audio recordings show that local authorities privately acknowledged the purpose was to keep away news helicopters during violent street protests. On Aug. 12, the morning after the Federal Aviation Administration imposed the first flight restriction, FAA air traffic managers struggled to redefine the flight ban to let commercial flights operate at nearby Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and police helicopters fly through the area — but ban others. “They finally admitted it really was to keep the media out,” said one FAA manager about the St. Louis County Police in a series of recorded telephone conversations obtained by The Associated Press. “But they were a little concerned of, obviously, anything else that could be going on. At another point, a manager at the FAA’s Kansas City center said police “did not care if you ran commercial traffic through this TFR (temporary flight restriction) all day long. They didn’t want media in there.”

Islamic State group kills 50 Iraqis

BAGHDAD — Islamic State group extremists lined up and shot dead at least 50 Iraqi men, women and children from the same tribe on Sunday, officials said, in the latest targeting of the group by militants. The killings, all committed in public, raise the death toll suffered by the Sunni Al Bu Nimr tribe in recent days to some 150, suggesting IS fighters now view them as a threat. Some Sunnis in the volatile province had previously supported the local expansion of IS and other militants in December. Meanwhile, separate attacks around Baghdad killed at least 19 people, authorities said. Sunday’s attack on the Sunni tribe took place in the village of Ras al-Maa, north of Ramadi, the provincial capital. There, the militant group killed at least 40 men, six women and four children, lining them up and shooting them one by one, senior tribesman Sheikh Naim al-Gaoud told The Associated Press. The militants also kidnapped another 17 people, he said. An official with the Anbar governor’s office corroborated the tribesman’s account. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to brief journalists.

Jerusalem on edge as Israeli, Palestinian politicians stoke religious fervor JERUSALEM — This combustible city at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been edging toward a new conflagration, with politicians on both sides stoking religious fervor over an ancient Jerusalem shrine sacred to Muslims and Jews. After months of escalating violence, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday made his clearest attempt yet to cool tempers, saying he won’t allow changes to a long-standing ban on Jewish worship at the Muslim-run site, despite such demands from ultranationalists in his coalition. Netanyahu’s reassurances to Muslims came just days after the religious feud over the Old City shrine, known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount, threatened to spin out of control. — The Associated Press

Daredevil Nik Wallenda begins his tightrope walk uphill at a 15-degree angle from the Marina City west tower across the Chicago River to the top of the Leo Burnett Building in Chicago Sunday.

Wallenda completes skyscraper wire walks By CARLA K. JOHNSON Associated Press

CHICAGO — Daredevil Nik Wallenda wowed Chicago and the world Sunday with two hair-raising skyscraper crossings on the high wire without a safety net or a harness. Thousands of cheering fans packed the streets around the city’s Marina City towers to watch the 35-year-old heir to the Flying Wallendas’ family business complete the back-toback walks including one wearing a blindfold. As he stepped from the wire after completing the second leg, he tore off his blindfold and waved to the crowd of thousands below who erupted in cheers.

The spectacle was telecast almost-live on the Discovery Channel so producers could cut away if Wallenda fell. Wearing a bright red jacket, Wallenda tested the tension of the wire around 6 p.m. It took him about six and a half minutes to walk the wire at a 19-degree incline from the Marina City west tower to the top of a building on the other side of a river. “I love Chicago and Chicago definitely loves me,” said Wallenda as he walked the wire, with the crowd of thousands below him screaming in support. “What an amazing roar!” The next stage of Wallenda’s high-wire event he undertook blindfolded — a walk between the two Marina City towers,

Chicago landmarks with Hollywood credits. At a fast clip, he made the stretch in little more than a minute. The Discovery Channel used a 10-second delay for the broadcast, allowing producers to cut away if anything went wrong. At around 6:40 p.m., just minutes before the anticipated start of his high-wire feat, Wallenda, who lives in Florida, said the chilly conditions in Chicago would not stall him. “Yes there’s some wind, yes it’s cool, but it’s not unbearable,” he said. Months of preparations have meant helicopters lifting cable to the rooftops, road closures and clearances from the Federal Aviation Administration and

U.S. Coast Guard. Residents of Marina City have been asked not to use laser pointers, camera flashes or drones that could interfere. Even grilling has been prohibited. Two of his previous televised tightrope walks — over the brink of Niagara Falls in 2012 and across the Little Colorado River Gorge in 2013 — drew about 13 million viewers each. The Discovery Channel hoped to capture an elusive real-time audience in the DVR era. The network plans to keep the almost-live telecast of Wallenda’s progress on viewers’ TV screens even during the commercials, using a “double box” that will show advertisements and Wallenda simultaneously.

UN climate report offers stark warnings, hope By KARL RITTER Associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Climate change is happening, it’s almost entirely man’s fault and limiting its impacts may require reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero this century, the U.N.’s panel on climate science said Sunday. The fourth and final volume of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s giant climate assessment offered no surprises, nor was it expected to since it combined the findings of three reports released in the past 13 months. But it underlined the scope of the climate challenge in stark terms. Emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, may need to drop to zero by the end of this century for the world to have a decent chance of keeping the temperature rise below a level that many consider dangerous. The IPCC did not say exactly what such a world would look like but it would likely require a massive shift to renewable sources to power homes, cars and industries combined with new technologies to suck greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The report warned that failure to reduce emissions could lock the world on a trajectory with “irreversible” impacts

on people and the environment. Some impacts already being observed included rising sea levels, a warmer and more acidic ocean, melting glaciers and Arctic sea ice and more frequent and intense heat waves. “Science has spoken. There is no ambiguity in their message. Leaders must act. Time is not on our side,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at the report’s launch in Copenhagen. Amid its grim projections, the report said the tools are there to set the world on a lowemissions path and break the addiction to burning oil, coal and gas which pollute the atmosphere with heat-trapping CO2, the chief greenhouse gas.

“All we need is the will to change, which we trust will be motivated by knowledge and an understanding of the science of climate change,” IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri said. The IPCC was set up in 1988 to assess global warming and its impacts. The report released Sunday caps its latest assessment, a mega-review of 30,000 climate change studies that establishes with 95-percent certainty that most of the warming seen since the 1950s is man-made. The IPCC’s best estimate is that just about all of it is man-made, but it can’t say that with the same degree of certainty. Today only a small minority of scientists challenge the mainstream conclusion that cli-

mate change is linked to human activity. Global Climate Change, a NASA website, says 97 percent of climate scientists agree that warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities. The American public isn’t as convinced. A year-old survey by Pew Research showed 67 percent of Americans believed global warming is occurring and 44 percent said the earth is warming mostly because of human activity. More recently, a New York Times poll said 42 percent of Republicans say global warming won’t have a serious impact, a view held by 12 percent of Democrats and 22 percent of independents.

Brown Bears topple Wild in shootout Staff report

The Kenai River Brown Bears defeated the host Wenatchee (Washington) Wild 2-1 in a shootout Sunday in front of 2,186 to take the rubber match in a three-game, weekend series. “Our goal coming in was to win the series and we were able to achieve that,” Kenai River head coach Geoff Beauparlant said. “Tonight, I thought we played a great game and solid goaltending backed us up.” The Bears, who are 2-0 in shootouts and 3-0 in games going to extra time, improve to 8-9-0 and move into a tie for fourth place in the North American Hockey League Midwest Division. The Wild are 4-7-4, and the point allows them to move out of last place in the South Division. After there was no score in the first two rounds of the shootout, Nick Klishko got things started for the Brown Bears in the third round when he beat Wenatchee goalie Zach Quinn. After Josh Creelman, who moved

to 2-0 in shootouts, stopped Tyler Rockwell, Alex Jackstadt put the Bears up again with a tally in the fourth round. Brendan Harris kept things alive for Wenatchee in the fourth round when he scored on Creelman, but Creelman would stop Ivan Bondarenko in the fifth round to secure the win. Bondarenko hit the crossbar on his try. “It’s a coin toss,” Beauparlant said of the shootout. “You never know what is going to happen. You just hope all five of your guys make strong moves, and I thought all five made strong moves.” Quinn was recently traded from the Bears, but Beauparlant said he’s not sure if familiarity favors the shooter or goaltender. He was able to put out three shooters Quinn was not teammates with — Colton Fletcher, Jackstadt and Joey Kaszupski — and Jackstadt was the only one to score.

The Bears were able to rebound and get the win after giving up a late goal in regulation to force the game to overtime. After there was no scoring in the first period, Jack Gessert got the Bears on the board with 16:39 left in the second period with a tally assisted by Matt Rudin and Ben Campbell. Beauparlant said Rudin had a solid game. “I thought he had good legs and good speed,” the coach said. “As a group, I thought we played with more speed than in the previous two games. “That really caught Wenatchee off-guard a little bit. It was good to see them back to playing the style of hockey we wanted.” Beauparlant said the Bears did not capitalize on many of their opportunities, but he added that both teams did a good job of keeping chances to the outside. Creelman was able to keep a clean

sheet until just 51 seconds remained in the third period, when Ryan Chiasson found the back of the net to force overtime. “I thought we controlled probably 55 minutes of the game, but give them a little credit, they hung in there,” Beauparlant said. “They were able to execute on a line rush with about a minute left.” The Bears then survived an overtime in which they were outshot 5-0, even though Wenatchee took a penalty with a minute left in the five-minute period. “I thought we played pretty smart even though we looked tired in overtime,” Beauparlant said. “We got caught out in a couple of shift changes, and that caused us to play in their zone a lot.” Creelman made 25 saves for the Bears, while Quinn had 24 saves for the Wild. The Bears stay on the road to face Fairbanks, winners of seven straight,

on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. “It’s going to be a great challenge for us,” Beauparlant said. “I think you’ll see two teams playing pretty good hockey right now. “I think last night was a little blip for us, but I expect it to be a great series played at a high level.” Sunday Brown Bears 2, Wild 1, SO Kenai River 0 Wenatchee 0

Hill takes court, inspires Johnson notches win With just months to live, tumor patient makes 2 layups

Keselowski, Gordon get in dust-up after race By The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — Brad Keselowski’s face was puffy, and he took a couple quick drinks of water to wash the blood from his mouth. So close to a big playoff win, Jeff Gordon was left with a cut on his lip. The Chase for the Sprint Cup championship took another intense turn Sunday night when past champions Gordon and Keselowski were a part of a brawl after Jimmie Johnson won his third consecutive Texas fall race. Johnson emerged from a frantic finish, the second attempt at an overtime two-lap sprint to the finish after his teammate Gordon spun out from the front following contact with Keselowski. While Johnson celebrated his fourth victory at Texas and 70th Sprint Cup win overall, fireworks exploded in the sky — and on pit road. An irate Gordon stopped his car right by Keselowski and confronted him. There were plenty of punches thrown, with NASCAR officials in the middle of crew members and others around Keselowski’s No. 2 car. “I couldn’t even tell you what happened,” said Keselowski, who confirmed he was hit by someone. “Just a melee of people.” It seemed the only con-

tact among drivers was when Kevin Harvick shoved Keselowski in the back to push him into the fracas, and Gordon briefly appeared to grab hold of Keselowski’s firesuit. All the punches thrown appeared to come from crew members — including a member of Gordon teammate Kasey Kahne’s team who appeared to land several shots on Keselowski from behind. Gordon was leading on a restart on lap 335, one more than the race’s scheduled length, when he took the outside lane. When Gordon drifted up a bit, Keselowski pushed through the gap, and made contact that left Gordon’s car with a cut tire. “We were just racing for the win. I didn’t wreck him, and just raced him hard. He left a hole. Everything you watch in racing, you leave a hole, you’re supposed to go for it,” Keselowski said. “I don’t want to ruin anyone’s day. I wanted to win the race and that was the opportunity.” Gordon said he was on older tires when “out of nowhere I got slammed by the 2.” He then used an expletive in referring to Keselowski, who finished third. “The way he races, I don’t know how he ever won a championship. This is why everyone is fighting with him,” Gordon said. “There

wasn’t any conversation. You can’t have a conversation with him. There’s big consequences. To me, it’s just a bunch of crap. The kid is just doing stuff way over his head.” Gordon spun out, lost a lap in the pits and finished 29th. He also became the second competitor in four races to confront Keselowski after the checkered flag. NASCAR will review the post-race brawl and penalties could be issued during the week. Keselowski was fined $50,000 for his behavior at Charlotte, but Matt Kenseth escaped penalty because he did not throw any punches when he jumped Keselowski from behind. Hamilton wins U.S. Grand Prix AUSTIN, Texas — Race by race and point by point, Lewis Hamilton is tightening his grip on the Formula One world championship and squeezing out Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg. But not so far to as to eliminate his rival as a title threat. Not yet. Hamilton won the U.S. Grand Prix on Sunday, moving 24 points clear of Rosberg with just two races left. It was Hamilton’s second win in Texas in three years, his 10th on the season and fifth in a row.

GARY B. GRAVES AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI — Lauren Hill felt so good after fulfilling her dream that she felt inspired to play another game. Makes sense, since the freshman forward for Division III Mount St. Joseph’s stirred a capacity crowd just by taking the court. Much depends on Hill’s health and energy as she deals with an inoperable brain tumor that has left her with just months to live. In between making two layups that started and finished Sunday’s 66-55 victory over Hiram College and brought a crowd of 10,250 to its feet, she spent much of her inspiring game sitting on the bench wearing sunglasses and headphones. Hill’s condition has made her extremely sensitive to sensations her teammates and opposing players take for granted, but she still enjoyed the bright gym and the cheering crowd. And she certainly savored her two baskets on a day she will never forget. “This game was amazing,” Hill said. “It was awesome in every way. It’s a dream come true. To play on a college court, to put my foot down on the floor and hear the roar of the crowd — I just love it so much. I love basketball. “Everything that happened today was amazing. I’m truly happy, it’s a really good day.” Hill made an uncontested left-handed layup for the open-

ing basket off a bounce pass from redshirt sophomore Taylor Brown, who missed last season with a knee injury. The tumor affects Hill’s coordination, forcing the right-hander to shoot with her left hand. She also made the last shot of the game, returning with 26.5 seconds remaining for a righthanded layup. “That’s the one I’ve been having trouble with,” Hill said. Both shots were greeted with standing ovations from the sellout crowd at Xavier University’s 10,000-seat arena, part of an emotional afternoon for Hill that included love and support from stars in several sports. Tennessee women’s coach Pat Summitt was in attendance, along with an impressive list of WNBA players that included Elena Delle Donne, Delisha Milton-Jones, Tamika Catchings and Skylar Diggins. “She lets you know what’s important,” Milton-Jones said of Hill. Moved by the response — especially after receiving two awards, including the U.S. Basketball Writers Association’s Pat Summitt Most Courageous Award normally awarded at the Final Four — Hill said of her disease: “We’re gonna fight this.” Hill’s determination to play

while raising awareness about pediatric cancer has created a fan base that goes far beyond the school located on the outskirts of Cincinnati. The 19-year-old native of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, has received support from across the country. Teams and players have signed and sent No. 22 jerseys to Hill, including 15 from high schools that lined the Lions’ bench. There were plenty of posters and supportive signs, and several fans held up large yellow cutouts that said “Lauren 22.” Hill started an online layup challenge that involves spinning around five times and shooting a layup with the non-dominant hand. Similar to this summer’s ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that became a social media phenomenon, the fundraising campaign (#Layup4Lauren) has captured the attention of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and other athletes. The Bengals showed a video of her layup during a timeout in Sunday’s 33-23 home win against Jacksonville. Defensive tackle Devon Still —whose daughter, Leah, 4, is also being treated for cancer — wore Hill’s name on his eye black; left tackle Andrew Whitworth had the No. 22 on his gloves.

Brady gets the best of Manning in a rout By The Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady outdueled Peyton Manning, throwing for four touchdowns, and Julian Edelman returned a punt 84 yards for a score in leading the New England Patriots past the Denver Broncos 43-21 Sunday. The 16th matchup between the all-time great quarterbacks wasn’t particularly competitive after the first quarter. New England (7-2) won its fifth straight, halting the fourgame winning streak for Denver (6-2) in emphatic fashion. Brady has 18 TD passes and one interception in those five victories. Manning fell to 2-7 at Gillette Stadium and 5-11 overall against Brady, even though he threw for 438 yards and two touchdowns. He has at least two TD passes in 14 consecutive games, an NFL record. In his 200th career start, Brady passed for 333 yards. He has won 155 of those, the most for any quarterback in that many starts. CARDINALS 28, COWBOYS 17 ARLINGTON, Texas — Carson Palmer had three touchdown passes after an early interception the Cowboys returned for a score, and the Dallas offense struggled without the injured Tony Romo in a loss to Arizona. The Cardinals (7-1), who have sole possession of the best record in the NFC for the first time since 1974, won their fourth straight. They have beaten all five conference opponents. Romo was out with his third back injury in 18 months, and backup Brandon Weeden threw two interceptions as the Cowboys (6-3) dropped their second straight after a six-game winning streak. NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray’s record streak of eight straight 100-yard games to start the season for Dallas ended against a defense that didn’t allow a back over the century mark for the 18th consecutive time. He rushed for 79 yards on 19 carries.

RAMS 13, 49ERS 10 C Y

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — CoM lin Kaepernick fumbled at the goal K line with 2 seconds remaining, and St. Louis sacked the San Francisco quarterback eight times on the way to an upset over the 49ers. The Rams recovered, and the play was reviewed and upheld. The 49ers (4-4) had first-and-goal at the 1, but struggled in the red zone and failed to capitalize on consecutive penalties by Trumaine Johnson as he defended Michael Crabtree. Greg Zuerlein kicked a goahead 39-yard field goal for the Rams (3-5) with 5:25 left. San Francisco got the ball back at its 12 with 3:11 remaining. Kaepernick completed long passes to Stevie Johnson and Anquan Boldin in the final drive.

STEELERS 43, RAVENS 23 PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger threw for 340 yards and six scores to set an NFL record for most touchdown passes in consecutive games. A week after passing for a franchise-record six touchdowns against Indianapolis, Roethlisberger duplicated the feat as Pitts-

burgh (6-3) earned its third consecutive win. Roethlisberger’s 12 touchdown passes over the last two games broke the mark of 11 set by Tom Flores for Oakland in 1963 and matched by New England’s Tom Brady in 2007. Antonio Brown caught 10 passes for 138 yards and a score. Rookie Martavis Bryant hauled in two scoring receptions and has five touchdowns in three games. Joe Flacco passed for 303 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, but the Ravens (5-4) were undone by a sloppy second quarter.

EAGLES 31, TEXANS 21 HOUSTON — Mark Sanchez replaced the injured Nick Foles and threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns to lead Philadelphia over Houston. Foles injured his left shoulder late in the first quarter, forcing Sanchez into his first action since 2012 with the Jets. He threw two interceptions in three quarters, but made throws when he had to. The Eagles (6-2) led by 3 when Jeremy Maclin grabbed a low throw from Sanchez for an 8-yard touchdown to make it 31-21 with about four minutes remaining. Maclin finished with two touchdowns and 158 yards receiving and LeSean McCoy had 117 yards rushing. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 203 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for Houston (4-5).

SEAHAWKS 30, RAIDERS 24 SEATTLE — Marshawn Lynch rushed for two first-half touchdowns, Bruce Irvin tipped and intercepted Derek Carr’s pass and returned it 35 yards for another score and Seattle beat Oakland. After a tumultuous previous month, the Seahawks (5-3) won their second straight behind a strong first half, three field goals from Steven Hauschka and a defense that made Carr look like a rookie much of the afternoon. Not all was perfect for Seattle. Russell Wilson struggled through one of his worst passing games and the Seahawks failed to capitalize on numerous chances to rout the winless Raiders. Seattle led 24-3 at halftime only to see the Raiders score on a blocked punt for a touchdown and two Mychal Rivera TD catches to pull within six in the final minutes. Lynch finished with 67 yards rushing and another 76 receiving as the Seahawks handed Oakland (0-8) its 14th straight loss dating to last season.

BENGALS 33, JAGUARS 23 CINCINNATI — Jeremy Hill ran for a career-high 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 60-yarder in the fourth quarter that helped Cincinnati hold on for a victory over Jacksonville. Andy Dalton threw a pair of touchdown passes, one of them to A.J. Green in the Pro Bowl receiver’s return from a toe injury, but also had a pair of interceptions that kept it close. The Jaguars (1-8) turned Dalton’s second interception into Denard Robinson’s 5-yard touchdown run, cutting it to 26-23. Hill broke his 60-yard touchdown run on Cincinnati’s next play from scrimmage. Rookie Blake Bortles, who leads the NFL in interceptions, helped the Bengals (5-2-1) seal

Sports Briefs Kipsang, Keitany win NYC Marathon NEW YORK — Wilson Kipsang, a former world-record holder, needed to force himself to slow down. The Kenyan star had entered his first New York City Marathon to challenge himself on a hilly course with no pacemaker. A windy morning made for quite the test Sunday, and Kipsang proved he can win a strategic race. “I had to really exercise a lot of patience,” he said. Kipsang pulled away in the final mile for his third major marathon title in just over 13 months. Mary Keitany also took the lead late in the women’s race for a Kenyan sweep. Kipsang’s record-setting victories in Berlin and London were on flat courses with the aid of a pacemaker, very different from Sunday, when winds were gusting at more than 30 mph at the start. The contenders adjusted by cautiously sticking to a slow pace. “It was very tactical,” Kipsang said. “So it was not easy.” He finished in 2 hours, 10 minutes, 59 seconds — the slowest winning time in New York since 1995, and more than 7 1/2 minutes off the world record he set just over a year ago in Berlin. Keitany tried a very different tactic in her previous NYC Marathon, surging ahead to a huge early lead in 2011. She was caught that day and had to settle for her second straight third-place finish. This time, Keitany held back. She and countrywoman Jemima Sumgong entered Central Park side by side, and Sumgong appeared to be pulling away with just over a mile left. But Keitany had one last burst left and won by 3 seconds, matching the tightest finish in the history of the women’s race. Keitany, a twotime London Marathon champ, hadn’t run a 26.2-mile race since 2012 because of the birth of her second child. “I worked hard for this opportunity,” she said. “I’m happy because I have a victory today, because I know I’ve been coming to New York two times, and I was in that position. So I’m happy today because it was a good day and I win.” A record 50,881 runners started the 44th edition of the NYC Marathon, which had the millionth finisher in its history Sunday. It was so windy that the wheelchair race started at the 3-mile mark because it was too dangerous to roll across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. — The Associated Press

BROWNS 22, BUCCANEERS 17 CLEVELAND — Brian Hoyer threw a 34-yard TD pass to Taylor Gabriel with 8:59 remaining, helping Cleveland complete a favorable stretch of its schedule with a win over Tampa Bay. Cleveland was trailing 17-16 when Hoyer completed his second TD pass. Hoyer finished 21 of 34 for 300 yards, two TDs and two interceptions. He improved to 8-3 as Cleveland’s starter. The Browns (5-3) have their best record at the midway point since 2007 when they won 10 and barely missed the playoffs. Cleveland went 2-1 the past three weeks against Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay, who entered a combined 2-19. Tampa Bay’s Mike Glennon threw a pair of 24-yard TDs to rookie Mike Evans for the Buccaneers (1-7), who have lost four in a row and five this season by six

DOLPHINS 37, CHARGERS 0 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Ryan Tannehill threw for 288 yards and three scores, and Miami forced four turnovers to rout San Diego. Tannehill went 24 for 34 and threw touchdown passes to Charles Clay, Rishard Matthews and Jarvis Landry. San Diego’s Philip Rivers threw three interceptions, two to Brent Grimes, and was sacked three times. The Dolphins (5-3) earned their third consecutive victory. The Chargers (5-4) lost their third game in a row and remain winless in South Florida since January 1982. Every Miami victory this season has been by double digits, and this was the most lopsided yet. San Diego was shut out for the first time since 1999, and the Dolphins earned their first shutout since 2006.

Perry, Ducks get past Avalanche By The Associated Press

DENVER — Defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Cam Fowler scored their first goals of the season 1:44 apart in the second period, and emergency starter Jason LaBarbera stopped 16 shots, lifting the Anaheim Ducks to a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday night. Corey Perry also scored for the Ducks, who went 3-1 on a four-game trip. Perry leads the league with 11 goals. COYOTES 6, CAPITALS 5 WASHINGTON — Shane Doan scored twice, and Arizona salvaged something from its road trip, snapping a three-game skid with a come-from-behind win over mistake-prone Washington. The Coyotes trailed 3-1 after the first period, but power-play goals by Michael Stone and Doan tied it in the second before Sam Gagner and Doan capitalized on sloppy turnovers early in the third. Doan’s second goal came after Washington’s Alex Ovechkin — who earlier broke a six-game goal drought — completely whiffed trying to control the puck near the side boards in the Capitals’ end.

JETS 1, BLACKHAWKS 0 CHICAGO — Michael Hutchinson stopped 33 shots for his first career shutout, and Michael Frolik scored 20 seconds in on the first shift of the game to lead Winnipeg over Chicago.

Big weekend looms in college football RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

Breaking down the ballots for the AP Top 25 and wrapping up college football’s 10th weekend. SHOWDOWN SATURDAY This will not be a Saturday for getting ahead on Christmas shopping or raking leaves in the yard. In the AP Top 25 released Sunday, teams four through 10 have games against another ranked team next weekend. Six games to shake up the playoff race and either provide clarity or cause confusion. Probably a little of both. Mississippi State and Florida State still hold the top two spots in the AP rankings after both needed second-half comebacks to remain unbeaten. The top-ranked Bulldogs received 45 first-place votes from the media panel, and Florida State has 15. Auburn moved up a spot to No. 3 after its 35-31 victory at Mississippi. The Rebels dropped to No. 12 after their second straight heartbreaking loss. Then the teams preparing for games with huge playoff implications: —No. 4 Alabama is at No. 14 LSU as the SEC West rivals play

yet another huge game. —No. 5 Oregon and Heisman Trophy front-runner Marcus Mariota go to No. 20 Utah, trying to keep their roll going in the Pac-12. “They’re playing lights out, especially on the defensive side of the ball,” Helfrich said Sunday about the Utes. —No. 6 TCU and its Heisman contender, quarterback Trevone Boykin, host No. 9 Kansas State with first in the Big 12 on the line. —No. 7 Michigan State hosts No. 13 Ohio State in the Big Ten game of the year. —No. 8 Notre Dame goes to No. 11 Arizona State, looking for a resume-boosting victory. —No. 10 Baylor is at No. 16 Oklahoma, with a chance for the Bears to reassert themselves in the Big 12. That’s a lot of stuff for the selection committee to digest. Its next rankings come out this Tuesday. The Ducks have a chance to move into the top four with Ole Miss losing, not that Helfrich will be paying closer attention this week than he did last. “The exact same amount — which is also the amount of hair I’m going to gain,” said Helfrich, who doesn’t have much separating his baseball cap from his scalp.

Anthony leads win, scores 20,000th point By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — On a night when he joined the NBA’s 20,000-point club, Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points, including the go-ahead basket with 1:23 remaining, and the New York Knicks narrowly defeated the Charlotte Hornets 96-93. Al Jefferson had 21 points, and Gary Neal added 17 points in a reserve role for the Hornets (1-2), who lost their second straight.

defend liberty, defend the Constitution and defend growth, helps all 50 states.” Cruz’s fiery rhetoric struck a chord with many in the audience as he touched on gun control, repealing Obamacare, protecting religious liberty and putting Alaska the forefront of an “energy renaissance” in the United States. Many in the crawd called themselves Tea Party conservatives, and several wore buttons and T-shirts supporting former GOP senate candidate Joe Miller. During a three-way Republican primary in August, which Sullivan won with about 40 percent of the vote, Miller — a Tea Party candidate — finished second with 32 percent. For some, having Cruz openly support Sullivan helped to

of town. The roads are dirt, because pavement won’t make it through the cold of winter, and the shortcut to downtown is a path across a frozen lagoon. This is the Alaska bush, home to the hardest political ground game in America. And this election season, Republicans need to pick up six seats to win control of the U.S. Senate. They like their chances in Alaska. So, too, do Democrats, who are investing in an unprecedented effort in rural Alaska to get out the vote. Though independent voters make up the largest voting bloc in the state, Republicans have expanded their edge over Democrats in registered voters since 2008, when Begich carried rural Alaska on his way to defeating Sen. Ted Stevens by less than 4,000 votes. This time Begich faces former state Attorney General Dan Sullivan, who has largely focused his get-out-the-vote efforts in the state’s more populated areas, such as Anchorage,

resolve lingering doubts about the candidate. “We love Ted Cruz. We like Dan Sullivan. I’d like to learn more about him, but for now he’s got to be our go-to guy,” said Keith Nushart, who attended the rally with his wife Dawn Nushart. “If Ted Cruz is going to stand by him, we will too at this point.” The Nushart’s said they had supported Joe Miller, but had to shift focus to Sullivan after Miller lost the primary. “We’re going to keep an eye out,” Dawn Nushart said. “We’ll see how he votes, watch what he does and keep his feet to the fire.” While the vast majority of the audience crowded around Cruz after the rally, standing in line to take photos with the senator and ask about his plans for the 2016 presidential race, some — Like Al and Bunny Chong — made their way straight to Sullivan. “We came the very first time

that (Sullivan) came here and listened to him and we looked at the different topics and (we) talked about it and we decided to support him,” Bunny Chong said. Al Chong, who said he does not vote along party lines, said he wanted a person like Sullivan in office. Bunny Chong said Cruz’s speech did not change her mind about Sullivan and that she had been more interested in seeing Sullivan again than she was seeing the Texas conservative. “I thought it was nice that he would come all the way to provide a voice for Dan Sullivan, so he could say he supports everything (Sullivan) wants to do for Alaska and America.”

Fairbanks and Juneau. Sullivan, nevertheless, visited Barrow and its 4,700 residents as part of a recent rural swing, and has won the endorsement of leaders of the locally based Arctic Slope Regional Corp., with 11,000 shareholders primarily of native Inupiat descent. “Begich doesn’t have rural support sewn up,” said Kyle Kohli, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee. Begich has racked up endorsements from Alaska Native and fishermen’s groups, key constituencies. But in places like Barrow, it’s the door-todoor, face-to-face interactions that can make the difference, and why the ground game — no matter how arduous — matters so much. Tegoseak, 29, was born in Barrow, moved away after high school and returned in the last two years with hopes of providing an opportunity for his young daughter to reconnect with their Inupiaq culture. He worries about drilling offshore and what that could mean for the whale hunts. Begich, he says, won him over with a measured approach to drilling and his support of alternative en-

ergy. Now, Tegoseak is one of roughly 40 paid state Democratic Party employees working across rural Alaska to re-elect Begich. They have an office — a rented two-story house — but Tegoseak often works out of a Ford Ranger with duct tape on the steering column, a hula girl on the dashboard, Marlboros on the floor and a dog-eared Begich sticker on the glove box. He worried when Begich was in town a few months back that he would have trouble unbuckling the sometimes sticky passenger-side seatbelt. (He didn’t.) “It’s exciting that people in this small community could shape America,” Tegoseak said. “But it’s true.” He set up recently at his usual spot, the entrance to AC, the main general store in town, his small table tucked between some carts and a man peddling jewelry. He tacked up handmade signs reading “Are you a whaler?” and “Vote Early.” But hunters had scored another whale, so, Tegoseak said, “I expect it to be dead.” “Hey, are you registered?”

arson charge. He was taken into custody. Police say a 911 call from the hospital earlier Sunday reported that smoke, ashes and water were coming from a locked bathroom near the main lobby on the second floor. Police say the sprinkler system had extinguished the fire and water was flooding much of the lobby, and seeping onto the first floor. Before responders arrived, hospital personnel were able to unlock the bathroom and found Johnson inside. It’s unclear if Johnson has an attorney. Police say the investigation continues.

BETHEL — A new $25 million pool is finally a reality for Bethel residents. KYUK reports that hundreds of people attended the grand opening of the long-awaited pool on Saturday. A soft opening was held the previous weekend. The pool is part of a complex that also has a weight room, hot tub and exercise room. The facility is named Kuimarvik, which is Yup’ik Eskimo for “place to swim.” Locals hope the pool will help reduce the high Juneau bus routes to be cut drowning rate in the region.

he called out to a guy he wrestled with growing up. “I’m good,” the man responded, hustling out. Tegoseak made a note to follow up. He tried making eye contact with everyone who passed. Some avoided it. An old friend invited him to church. Tegoseak doesn’t lead with the Senate race when asking people if they’re registered. He sometimes mentions that voters in Alaska also will decide next month whether to legalize recreational use of marijuana, in case that helps get people to the polls. Amid the whale hunts and a recent election for borough mayor, a lot of the people Tegoseak meets believe voting is done for the year. Or they just haven’t been paying all that much attention. After an hour at the AC, Tegoseak packed up. Time to go house-to-house. “Hello, Beverly? It’s Gabe,” he called out at the door of Beverly and Patrick Hugo, both 61. She welcomed him in, reminding him to take off his snowcovered shoes. Patrick was flipping through mail. “Dan Sullivan’s in the trash can,” he said, disposing of a Sullivan

mailer. On the wall, amid family portraits, was a photo of Patrick with Alaska’s senior senator, Republican Lisa Murkowski. In 2010, Alaska Natives formed a political action committee to support Murkowski’s write-in bid after she lost her primary to tea party favorite Joe Miller. The Hugos were among her supporters. They also support Begich. Tegoseak asked if they would like to vote early. “When is the election? Nov. 7?” Beverly said. Nov. 4, Tegoseak reminded her, before persuading both to fill out a request for an absentee ballot. They made small talk as ads attacking Begich flashed on TV during the 6 o’clock news. “How’s your dad?” Patrick asked. “He’s still my dad, still acting like he’s 20-something,” Tegoseak said. He offered to bring by some whale for the couple, a common gesture in the community. “You know where we live,” Patrick responded in thanks, as Tegoseak headed out. “You’re welcome to visit any time.” “With elders, you have to have conversations,” Tegoseak later explained. “You may not

have much time, but their time is important.” With the day quickly fading, Tegoseak headed to his truck to get in a few calls and dialed Mike Shults, a local tour guide who favors camouflage clothing and wears a necklace made of polar bear and walrus teeth. Tegoseak had heard that Shults was leaning toward Begich. Instead, he got an earful. Shults voted for Begich in 2008 but said he believed Republicans would do a better job addressing spending and taking on Islamic State militants. Point by point, he laid out why a change in leadership was needed as Tegoseak interjected where he could. In the end, Tegoseak knew he wouldn’t sway him. Shults, it turned out, already had his absentee ballot. “But that’s the beauty of all of this,” Tegoseak said. “That people can engage, really ... for things they feel passionate about.” He headed back to the office, with hopes of getting home early enough to be able to work on his slice of the whale, before starting another day looking for more votes for Begich.

The new school sculpture embedded in the front lawn outside Kaleidoscope School of Arts and Sciences is already tilting at an angle similar to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or a space ship that has crash landed. In fact, the slanted metal frame is completely intentional said Ohio-based creator Kate Demske. “I built it at the same angle you would hold a real Kaleidoscope,” Demske said. More than 250 students and staff members bundled up on Oct. 27 to attend the official unveiling of the Kaleidoscope Art Sculpture. The rigid shards of stained glass cemented in the ceiling of the installation glinted in the late-autumn sun. Principal Robin Dahlman quieted the huddle of buzzing students by reminding them of their “active listening skills.” She said it had taken hard work and persistence from parents, staff and students to make sure the school was able to receive the artwork that would capture the essence of the school. Parent Heather Floyd initiated the push toward getting a piece to represent the school two years ago. “Parents and teachers thought it was important we had art that captures our identity,” Floyd said. After raising $20,000 for a design that was undecided at that point, the school put out a nationwide proposal request asking for ideas that would be visible to the public and reflected the school’s mission, Floyd said. The art committee then reviewed submissions and presented the finalists for students and staff to vote on, she said. Demske said her piece tied in the school’s focus on the arts and sciences. The roof, which included cutouts of Alaska’s wildlife, and rows of colored glass are formed within the equation of the golden ratio. She also sent a letter to the students asking for personal items to be placed in the walls of the sculpture. Responses included a bone, moose hair, toy cars, plastic dolls, a starfish skeleton and personal poetry, now set in concrete on the inside of the hollow frame. The rest of the materials came from suppliers in Cinncinati, Demske said. “I wanted the kids to be a part of it,” Demske said. “I wanted it to be interactive. I had to think about what it would be like inside of a rainbow. What it would be like to be inside of a jeweled space?” Dahlman asked the students to consider how the piece ties into their experiences in and outside of the classroom, while walking through it for the first time. She said to consider the different en-

Third grader Tabitha Kernan walked through the Kaleidoscope Art Sculpture for the first time with more than 250 of her classmates at the unveiling of the school project that took two years to complete Monday, Oct. 27, 2014, at the Kaleidoscope School of Arts and Science in Kenai, Alaska.

vironments and habitats in their community. It was an amazing process, Dahlman said. The school’s community spent a year raising the funds for the project and was able to get clearance from the City of Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula Borough, she said. Parents, businesses, students and staff donated the time and free labor to make it happen, she said. Fifth-grader Logan Satahtite said she was happy pieces of Alaska were included in the final product. She thought the angle and rainbow colors were a very interesting aspect of the piece. Her classmate Dillon Hanson said the installation had “pizzazz” and represents the school. “We hope it becomes a legendary piece that lives on in our

school,” Dahlman said.

UA announces drawing to encourage high school seniors to apply early The University of Alaska is celebrating UA College Application Week Nov. 1721 by giving away six, three-credit tuition awards good for any of UA’s 16 campuses, including KPC locations. The incentive is aimed at high school seniors who intend to apply to UA for summer or fall 2015. UA must receive applications by the end of College Application Week, Nov. 21, for future students to qualify for the drawing. Each three-credit award is worth up to $630. “College is a game changer, leading to better careers and higher paying jobs. Alaska data shows that 63 percent of Alaska jobs will require a postsecondary education by M

2018,” said Saichi Oba, associate vice president for student and enrollment services at the UA System. “Applying early is not only a good first step, but it actually increases a student’s chance of success in college.” High school seniors are encouraged to apply through https://uaonline.alaska.edu. Oba stresses that the Alaska Performance Scholarship and UA Scholars awards are also important for student success-both can help a lot to pay costs of college, paving the way to college degrees. For more information on UA College Application Week, see this link: http://bit. ly/103v1Ha or call 907-450-8140.

Board of Regents approves increase of UA Scholars Award The University of Alaska Board of Regents unanimously approved a proposal to increase the UA Scholars Award by $1,000 at their September meeting. The award, which is given to the top ten percent of all graduating seniors from Alaska high schools, has been increased from $11,000 to $12,000. In addition to the increase in the award, the Board of Regents also approved to increase the program’s minimum required credit load per academic year from 24 to 30 credits.

Students said what they like best about it is: you get to help others; working with different partners is fun; it’s a way to connect with the group; when you work with someone new, you can make a new friend. Mr. Daniels’s class would like to thank Veronica Padula, a Marine Scientist, for coming in and presenting information on Marine Debris in our oceans.

Sport Calendar - http://www.arbiterlive.com/Teams?entityId=21192. SoHi will be locking the Parking lot entrance Door during the following hours: 7:40 am to 11:55 pm, 12:30 pm to 2:15 pm. Also note that during school hours the only open door will be the Front Entrance Commons/Flag Pole doors. The above is to improve our overall school security. There are two ways to order a transcript. Each way serves a different purpose. If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: www.parchment.com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace… rather than the US mail… to get to its destination, which is much faster! ALL transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way! FINAL TRANSCRIPTS! A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades… If you order your transcript when we are IN second semester,,, you will need to make sure you choose “next grading period” when you go on to Parchment… that way your transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.

The cost is $10 per child plus $5 for each sibling. RCA students and staff will provide dinner and activities. There will be separate rooms for children based on age, birth to teen. Please give us a call if you have any questions, 714-8945. If you were not able to attend conferences last week and you would like to meet about your student’s progress, please feel free to contact the school and we will schedule a time to meet with the staff. You may also contact the teachers directly with specific questions.

Wings Christian Academy During the past week at Wings, Ethan Newbern, Tyler Ophus, and Matthew Newbern won the Quiz’em competition on October 22. They were able to remember the most the fastest from previous Chapel services. Later, on October 23, the 17 Honor Roll students had the opportunity to participate in the Hay Tunnel at Solid Rock Bible Camp. Although it was a bit chilly, everyone seemed to have a great time and are looking forward to next quarter. This week at Wings, students participated in the Parent Night program for the 1st quarter of school on Tuesday, October 28. During this program, students from both the younger and older choir groups performed three specials each. Students also received their certificates and awards for programs from the past quarter, including the Readmaster and Triathlon programs. Wings Christian Academy would like to thank everyone who helped make that night a success and for everyone who came and supported the students’ hard work. Also this week, Vanessa Uei and Ethan Berga won the Cleanest Desk of the Week awards. Good job! Next week at Wings, Immanuel Baptist Church will be hosting their annual Mission Conference. This means the students will be participating in two Chapel services, one on Wednesday and the other on Thursday. Students will be learning about a few different mission fields and get to meet some of the missionaries that serve there. Hot lunch will also be served on those two days. In other news, the volleyball team has a home game on Friday, November 7 against the WHCS Archers. Although they did not win the last match against the Archers, the Wings Eagles have been practicing hard and are planning to win their games on Friday. Results will be posted the following Monday.

Grandfather’s to-do list creates special family day DEAR ABBY: I am a 62-year-old grandfather of a 5-year-old granddaughter. The other day I had her for the entire day. I decided to make a list of the things we were to accomplish throughout the course of the day. It turned out to be a great success. After completing each task, she would ask, “What’s next on the list?” The first item, No. 1, was to do our “strong” (that’s what we call exercise). No. 2 was to write her alphabet and numbers. No. 3 was to “go on an adventure” (that’s what we call walking the dog and exploring the nearby field). Nos. 4, 5 and 6 — go to the bank, get the car washed, then go to the park to swing, slide, etc. After the park, she asked if we could go to our favorite restaurant across the street. I replied, “How did you know that was next on the list?” Her expression was priceless. After lunch we went home and did No. 8 — another adventure, which was take the dogs for a walk again. No. 9 was painting time (what 5-year-old doesn’t like to paint?). After cleaning up it was time for No. 10, wash the dishes and Swiffer the floor. No. 11 she could choose something to do. We spent the next two hours playing with her dolls. At about 5:30 my daughter came to pick her up from an exhausted grandpa. Lists will be part of our

sincerely tried to apologize, but Jim refuses to speak to him. It breaks my heart to see how much this has upset my husband. I am still Facebook friends with Jim, and every time I see him online I’m tempted to say something to him, but so far I have resisted. Would it be crossing the line for me to reach out and see if he’ll talk to me about this? Or should I stay out of it? — HOPEFUL PEACEMAKER IN ARIZONA DEAR HOPEFUL PEACEMAKER: I know you mean well, but it would be a mistake to put yourself in the middle. Whatever happened between your husband and his friend must have been a doozy. You state that this happened during one of their all-night drinking and talking sessions. To me this indicates that one or both of them may have alcohol issues that need to be addressed. This is what should be mentioned, but only to your spouse. If the DEAR ABBY: During one of their “stay up all loss of his long-standing friendship has been painnight drinking beer and talking” sessions six months ful enough, he may be willing to listen. ago, my husband, “Ralph,” and his best friend of more than 20 years, “Jim,” had a huge fight.

close friend. You would like to see this relationship evolve to a new level. Understand that you have a lot to accomplish right now. Trust that your bond will evolve appropriately. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to try something new. Pressure is likely to build around some decisions you must make, as those in charge could be quite demanding. Understand that you will need to adjust your attitude. Tonight: Test the water before you dive in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A disparity seems to exist between what you say and what you feel. You might not be in a position to reveal your true thoughts. Someone could pick up on the fact that you are not being authentic. Make a point of clearing the air. Tonight: Let off some steam. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your ability to read between the lines and allow more clarity into an issue will come through for you. What you think about a money situation could be different from reality. Look at a loved one’s reaction to you; it will tell you a lot. Tonight: Accept an invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to have a discussion that is way overdue. Your beliefs and feelings are important, and they could be challenged by someone you respect. Do not get upset; instead, look at what you can do to improve your style of communicating. Tonight: Follow a friend’s lead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHHH You could be in the uncertain position of having to make a choice. While you might view a solution as being unworkable, others will seem to think differently. Consider asking some deliberate questions in order to tap into their way of thinking. Tonight: Not to be found. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be out of sync with a friend or in a meeting. You will sense that there is an issue, but you might have difficulty resolving it. You easily could become irritated, and might need to head in a different direction. Tonight: Celebrate good times! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to try to improve your situation, but no one seems to be letting you know what you need to do. Perhaps someone is very jealous of you and is influencing others. Open up conversations in the morning, but expect to do some hard thinking later on. Tonight: Order in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Continue to use care with your finances. How you see an important matter could change after you have a conversation with a special friend. A demanding boss or relative is likely to take up a lot of your time. You might wonder how to say “enough.” Tonight: Hang out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You could be close to getting past a limitation that has been holding you back. It will be important to have a conversation with a key person in your life. Reach out to someone at a distance who can shed some light on the situation. Tonight: Surf the Web.

The gift of no return? Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about using gift cards: “I have used five gift cards in the past couple of months. I have had to ask for the card back on all but one. The clerks act surprised and say, ‘I am sorry, I didn’t realize there was a balance.’ Had I not said anything, the money on the card would have been lost. They always hand you back your credit card, why not the gift cards?” — Elaine in California Good question. Some cards will show a remaining balance; others will not. On some cards I’ve used, the store has not been able to determine what the balance left is until it is swiped. Just always ask for the card back. — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Uses for paper plates: * Catch potential spills in the refrigerator. * Under a pet dish to keep the floor clean. * Under a coffee cup to protect a table. * Under a soup bowl to catch drips. * As a quick cutting surface for a piece of fruit. — Heloise

Friday’s Answer

Threading needles Dear Heloise: My mother likes to hem and fix her own clothing but began having a hard time threading the needles. On a recent visit, I threaded a whole bunch for her and stuck them in her pincushion. They are ready to go, and she doesn’t have to worry about threading them anymore. — Cynthia in San Antonio
