Capital budget is signed into law Sweep is reversed but Dunleavy uses veto pen on $34 million in spending. By Peter Segall Juneau Empire
Gov. Mike Dunleavy signed Senate Bill 2002 into law Thursday afternoon during a press conference at the offices of the Associated General Contractors of Alaska in Anchorage. According to a press
release from the governor’s office, the bill, “properly captures nearly $1 billion in federal transportation and infrastructure funding, provides necessary resources to enact public safety legislation, and reinstates funding for various programs such as the Alaska Performance Scholarship, WWAMI and Power Cost Equalization.” While the bill does provide funding for a number of state programs, the governor vetoed $34,732,800 in total from
the appropriations made in the bill. Among the items vetoed were $10 million for statewide addiction treatment facilities, $500,000 for emergency medical services for Code Blue Project — the program meant to provide medical equipment for rural areas — and $1 million for public and community transportation. Dunleavy said at the signing that he knew that cuts would be difficult for many See budget, Page A2

After knocking around the idea for a few years, Rizzo said he told the Alas that this summer would be the best time to put it together. “I grew up on the Alas’ farm,” he said. “Harry and Abby are very close friends of mine, and they have a
The school district and two employee associations will be meeting Aug. 13 to continue bargaining for a new contract. If an agreement can’t be reached, the associations have voted to strike. The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District is hopeful an agreement will be reached next week, a Wednesday press release from the district said. The Kenai Peninsula Education Association and Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association are also hopeful the district can work with them to settle a contract, Kenai Peninsula Education Association President David Brighton said. “Health insurance is still unaffordable,” Brighton said. “We hope the school district can work with us to settle a contract.” After contract negotiations with the district hit a standstill, peninsula educators and staff voted May 22 to strike, with more than 75% of certified staff voting “yes” on a walkout. The associations planned to choose a strategic time to start the strike. For over a year, contract negotiations between the borough school district and the associations have snagged on the rising cost of health care. A previous agreement effective through June 2018 remains in use for employees without contracts. District employees cannot be fired for participating in a legal strike. What happens if a contract can’t be settled and employees go on strike? In the district’s press release, communications liaison Pegge Erkeneff said a work stoppage would result in an emergency closure of schools. If and when the associations decide to call a strike, they are required to notify

A universe of stories Kids wrap up summer of reading, fun and imagination By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
On a sunny Thursday next to the softball fields on Main Street, the Kenai Library wrapped up its Summer Reading Program with an afternoon of games, prizes and cupcakes. Since June 6, James Adcox, Bethany McMilin and the other Kenai librarians have been hosting weekly activities and encouraging the local kids to read as much as they can. The annual Summer Reading Program revolves around a different theme every year, and this year the kids explored outer space to discover “A Universe of Stories.” Adcox said that the
summer started off with a lesson in growing food hydroponically, and the kids got the opportunity to grow chocolate mint and strawberries. Every week brought a different activity, whether it was making flying saucers out of pie tins, learning how to draw aliens with Adcox or getting a crash course in physics from Kenai Peninsula College Professor Andreas Veh. There were also periodic puppet shows put on by Adcox and McMilin that showcased the adventures of Eugene and Beatrice as they built a rocket ship and searched the solar system for signs of aliens. To encourage reading throughout the summer, each child was given the
opportunity to pick up a folder with a time log. For every hour spent reading or being read to by a parent, the kids could get a raffle ticket to win one of the many prizes at the end of the summer. More hours of reading meant more tickets, and more tickets meant more of a chance to win a lightsaber or a stomp rocket. Adcox guessed that about 5,000 raffle tickets had been given out, which means that the approximately 550 kids who participated spent, collectively, about 5,000 hours reading. “The idea is that if we can keep them reading and studying, maybe doing a little math or other activities, when they go to the
next grade level the teachers don’t have to backtrack as much,” Adcox said. Adcox provided a suggested reading list, but the kids were free to read anything they wanted. When asked what his favorite part of the summer reading program, Silas Doss from Kenai had an easy answer. “The astronaut!” Doss said, and he had the space suit to prove it. Silas’s mom, Tera Doss, said that her favorite part was how much her kids ended up reading throughout the summer. The Doss kids logged about 40 hours between the four of them.

U.S. jets escort Russian bombers over Bering Sea MOSCOW — The Russian military says two of its nuclear-capable strategic bombers have flown a patrol mission over the Bering Sea, where they were escorted by U.S. fighter jets. The Defense Ministry said two Tu-95 bombers flew Thursday over international waters during a 10-hour mission that was part of the Ocean Shield exercise. It said U.S. F-22 and F-18 fighters escorted the Russian bombers at certain parts of their flight. Russia has significantly increased the number and scope of its military drills amid tensions with the U.S. and its NATO allies that followed Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula.

Triumverate gets creative to fill funding holes By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
The recent slashes to the state budget have the potential to affect nearly every corner of the state, including the arts and humanities. To meet these challenges, the Triumvirate Theatre troupe in north Kenai have taken matters into their own hands — and have something special growing for locals. The group will host Farm
Fest 2019 this Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at Ridgeway Farms on Strawberry Road, just off the Kenai Spur Highway. The fest will benefit the theater group, which lost about 10% from its operating budget this year, according to event organizer Joe Rizzo. Rizzo said the loss of the Alaska State Council on the Arts, a victim of the recent budget cuts, hit Triumvirate significantly. The theater company received about
$10,000 to $15,000 of its total operating budget of around $130,000 from the council. “Triumvirate took a big hit when they wiped that out,” Rizzo said. “We worked with those guys a lot … We’re having to make up for it.” In order to make up the deficit, Rizzo said he came up with the idea of Farm Fest, which he hopes can be an annual event. “I’ve been thinking of doing this for years,” he said. So why a farm-themed

groups in Alaska, but he was determined to put the state on a path of fiscal sustainability. Pretending the state was not running a budget deficit was doing harm to the state, he said. Dunleavy made reference to the decrease in the price of oil that has taken place over the past several years and said without that revenue the state was no longer able to spend in the way it had in the past. He said that, “the intent of the vetoes was not to harm Alaskans, nothing could be

further from the truth.” Dunleavy said part of his intent with the vetoes was to force a difficult but necessary conversation about the state’s fiscal future. Dunleavy said that when he ran for governor he meant to, “restore and protect the PFD, promote public safety, and put the state on a plan for fiscal sustainability.” In addition to signing this bill, the governor said his administration will be taking action that will impact a large number of Alaskans in the near future. This was mostly likely a reference to HB 2001, the other bill before the governor, which contains

It is possible that the Legislature could call itself into yet another special session with a two-thirds (40 votes) and attempt to override the governor’s vetoes. On Twitter, some legislators responded to the governor’s vetoes within minutes of the announcement. The $10 million in cuts to addiction treatment facilities got specific attention. Reps.

Stories reading series wrapped up, local kids were treated to a special guest speaker thanks to Claudia Haines from the Homer Library: Astronaut Rex Walheim, who was one of the crew members of the last NASA space shuttle flight. Walheim visited Kenai as part of the NASA@ My Library program. The visit wasn’t part of the Kenai Summer Reading Program, but tied in well with the theme. Walheim spoke to an audience of about 200 kids last Thursday at the Challenger Learning Center about his career as an astronaut and answered questions about what it’s like to be in space. Walheim has flown on three space shuttle missions, including the July 8, 2011 flight of the STS-135 Atlantis, which was NASA’s last space shuttle flight. “There’s nothing like

In a July 31 letter to the governor, Senate President Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, and House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, suggested that the governor call yet another special session. It is unclear if there will be another session. If a special session is called, the Legislature will have five days from when it gavels in to override the vetoes. The Legislature does not have a time line to call itself into special session. If no special session is called, the five day clock will begin at the start of the regular session in January.

Walheim said that the shuttle was very sterile and smelled like cleaning products, while the station itself had different smells depending on the room. “Can you make anything in space?” Asked another. “Yeah, we made the space station in space!” Walheim replied. “We brought the parts up from Earth individually and put them all together in space one piece at a time.” “Is it dangerous to pass gas in space?” asked one girl. “You know, I’ve gotten a lot of questions before, but that’s a first,” Walheim said, before going on to explain that the ventilation system on the space station transfers the air from one room to the next, so it can get a little awkward, but not dangerous. Perhaps most importantly, Walheim laid to rest the contentious question of whether the Earth is flat or round. “The Earth is round,” Walheim said. “I saw it with my own eyes.”

PCHS to promote student health, safety Back to school fest gets kids ready for new year. By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
The summer is winding down and the dipnets are being traded for backpacks. As the beginning of the school year approaches, volunteers from Peninsula Community Health Services have teamed up with the Student Ambassador Program at the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce to create KidFest, a free community event that will promote health and safety for the kids while also providing basic school supplies. KidFest will take place on Saturday at the Peninsula Center Mall from 11 a.m. to
3 p.m. Marquitta Andrus, manager of marketing and outreach at PCHS, said that about 15 vendors will have booths set up with games and educational activities, and a number of prizes will be given away, including two new bikes for a lucky boy and girl. Every kid in attendance will receive a “report card” that they can get stamped at each of the different booths. After filling out their report card, the first 200 kids will receive a free backpack provided by Sweeney’s Clothing and filled with school supplies. The completed report card also acts as the raffle ticket to win a new bike. Some of the activities will include car seat and bike helmet checks, a scavenger hunt, a vision test
given by Frontier Community Services and a selfie booth hosted by the student ambassadors. Local public safety agencies, including the Soldotna Police Department and Central Emergency Services, will be giving demonstrations on how to stay safe during the school year, and the food bank will be giving away raffle tickets in exchange for two nonperishable food items. “This is a great opportunity for the people at PCHS to get out there with the community and make sure the kids are returning to school healthy and safe,” Andrus said. Anyone interested in learning more about KidFest or donating to PCHS can visit their website at https://www. pchsak.org.

Kuskokwim River over the weekend, KYUK-AM reported Wednesday. Napakiak has lost more than 100 feet of shoreline this year. Winds gusted up to 46 mph and about 2.4 inches of rain fell from Friday to Sunday. The combined rainfall for June and July was 2.9 inches. Barriers were erected after the river crested a road in the community 15 miles southwest of Bethel. Southerly winds drove the current into the riverbank, said city council member Walter Nelson. “It was banging on the road,” Nelson said. “It’s almost gone.” Welders dismantled two empty fuel tanks owned by the village corporation and moved them away from the river. Napakiak also moved its city garage and fire house earlier this summer.

What others say
Mass shootings must be tackled on all fronts
B
ullet-resistant backpacks are now being sold in major retail stores. The idea is that when the next school shooter opens fire in the hallway, fleeing children who are shot in the back will have a better chance of surviving. It is a new consideration that children and parents have to make in 2019: Is my child dressed for style? Is she dressed for weather? Is she dressed for war? The present condition is unacceptable. High-profile mass shootings have become a normal occurrence and this weekend brought the scourge front and center when 31 were shot dead and more than 50 injured in Texas and Ohio. These were innocent victims out shopping or enjoying a vibrant entertainment district. It happens too often — laughter and joy turn to screams and horror. Something must be done and something can be done. Reacting to the shootings, Rep. Stephen Lynch got it right, saying, “I don’t know if there’s a single, one-hundredpercent solution, but there might be a hundred one-percent solutions.” One of those solutions was endorsed (Monday) by President Trump. Red Flag Laws would allow law enforcement, family or a household member, to report an at-risk individual to the courts for a temporary restriction from firearms. Red Flag Laws form a critical part of the solution to mass shootings because so often we hear afterwards about the myriad warning signs that potential shooters typically display leading up to an attack. Shortly before the atrocities in El Paso and Dayton, a grandmother in Lubbock, Texas, prevented a similar event by alerting authorities that her disturbed and suicidal grandson was planning to shoot up a hotel with an illegally obtained AK-47. But since so many weapons are obtained legally, law enforcement needs a tool to temporarily get them out of the hands of would-be-shooters when they clearly pose an immediate threat, not only to those around them, but also to themselves. The relationship between rising rates of suicide and mass shootings in American society is not clearly understood, but with roughly two-thirds of gun deaths constituting suicides, it bears careful scrutiny. The president highlighted this (Monday), where he was short on detail but correct in his focus on mental health. “We must reform our mental health laws,” Trump said. “Mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun.” With record numbers of Americans succumbing to despair and addiction, even while millions more rely on antidepressants to survive, it is clear our society is in the midst of a crisis. On the cultural side, President Trump resurrected concerns about violent video games and exposure to extreme ideologies on the internet. Although those talking points have not been successful in the past, the president is right to be considering the role that technology is playing in our mental health decline. Many on both sides of the aisle have raised the alarm about excessive screen time, social media use and desensitization to violent imagery among young people. And yes, we must look at gun control to see whether there are areas where all can agree we can limit the firepower that is on our streets. There is work to be done and it should begin in earnest. — The Boston Herald, Aug. 6

What Alaska’s budget really needs is a tightened spending cap
T
he debate over the state budget continues. As the discussion drags on, and proposed solutions are debated, there is one remedy that should be given special attention: a tightened spending cap. The budget has proven itself to be a contentious issue, heightened by Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s recent 182 line-item vetoes of the budget, which accounted for $444 million in cuts. While many are displeased with these cutbacks, there can be no denying that the governor was faced with an extremely difficult task. And when it comes to the budget, any semblance of restrained spending is a step in the right direction. Even with these cuts, however, the deficit still sits at about $1.2 billion, down from $1.6 billion, showing that further solutions must be sought to truly fix the problem. Unfortunately, no matter how the budget is cut this year, it won’t do much to address the issue of spending in the future. And without a tightened cap to rein in government spending, this same debacle is sure to recur every year. For too long, the state has relied on the Constitutional Budget Reserve (CBR) as the state’s main piggy bank, using it to cover
short-term deficits and encourage further spending. Should the Legislature continue using the CBR in predicaments like this, our rainy-day fund will be drained to less than $1 billion. Some expect the remaining CBR amount to last for only two more years because the state has routinely pulled money out to help cover its deficit and support its spending addiction. A tightened spending cap would go a long way toward easing this crunch. According to new research conducted by the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce, 61% of Alaskans support a constitutionally mandated spending cap. In 1982, Alaskans overwhelmingly backed a constitutional spending cap. But that amendment did not cap expenditures for capital projects or certain other appropriations. As a result, many thought it didn’t go far enough to limit state spending. Flash forward a few decades and this fear has been confirmed. The constitutional amendment passed in the 1980s set a base spending level of $2.5 billion. That amount has since grown to$10.5 billion. Pat Pitney, former Gov.
Bill Walker’s budget director, commented that “the constitutional spending limit was so high that it wasn’t even looked at, even in the highest of spending years, in 2011, 2012, 2013.” Earlier this year, Dunleavy proposed and supported passage of SJR 6, which would limit state spending to the average of the budgets passed in the previous three-year period, allowing for adjustments to accommodate inflation and population growth. The proposal would have also capped any growth at 2% overall. While the legislation was not enacted, it was a worthy first attempt at tightening the state’s loose spending cap. As Dunleavy has said about the cuts, “Over the past several years we have used [$14 billion] from our savings to subsidize the government. This situation, everyone agrees, is not sustainable.” To begin to fix Alaska’s budgetary issues, we need a spending cap that will place real restraints on out of control spending and promote economic prosperity for all Alaskans. Ryan McKee is Alaska’s state director for Americans for Prosperity.

In memory of Jean Brockel — fireball in the best way
A
ll of the accolades directed recently at the memory of Jean Brockel have been well deserved. She was a remarkable, inspiring, congenial, generous woman who was truly a pillar of the Kenai Peninsula. I also count myself lucky to have been able to consider her a friend. When I first met Jean Brockel in the fall of 1964, however, I was not told her first name, and she had a different last name. To me and the other 14 members of my first grade class at Soldotna Elementary School, she introduced herself as “Miss Bardelli.” Dr. Alan Boraas, of Kenai Peninsula College, once said, “Nobody brought energy to the room like Jean Brockel.” He was right, even when she was Miss Bardelli. She was a fireball, in the best possible way. Miss Bardelli was a performer. She wheeled a piano into our classroom.
She sang to us and with us. She also taught us. From “Dick and Jane” to science and art, she led us on an energetic journey that school year. I already loved to read, but Miss Bardelli inspired me to read further. On shelves around the classroom, she set up a series of books for us and challenged us to read “all around the town.” I know it’s nerdy to admit, but I still have the certificate she gave me for completing the challenge. With a black magic marker, she blockprinted my accomplishment on a rectangle of parchment paper and affixed to it a large gold star with a piece of purple ribbon. It was several years before I had another teacher who approached the passion of Miss Bardelli. When I first heard of “Jean Brockel,” I didn’t know the name. Eventually I figured out the connection, and I kept connecting with Jean throughout my life — through KPC, through my
own teaching career and on-againoff-again journalism career, and even through my one attempt at performing on the stage (with Jean as director). When Tony Lewis and I wrote a book about the 50-year history of KPC, we extensively interviewed Jean and her husband, Clayton Brockel, the founding director of the college. Jean was integral to the growth of the arts at KPC, as well as the Kenai Performers and the Performing Arts Society. In her basement was a mass of files — newspaper clippings, old playbills, photographs, scripts, etc. — a lifetime in pursuit of, and in support of, the arts. A dynamic persona and a consummate performer — that was Jean Brockel. And so much more. I can picture her even now, rising up behind the piano and leading 15 first graders in a raucous attempt at harmony.

McConnell: Senate will consider gun background checks By Lisa Mascaro and Matthew Daly Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday he wants Congress to consider legislation to expand federal background checks and other gun violence measures when lawmakers return in the fall. The Republican leader told a Kentucky radio station that President Donald Trump called him Thursday morning and they talked about several ideas. The president, he said, is “anxious to get an
outcome and so am I.” Republicans have resisted expanding background checks, but face enormous pressure to do something in the aftermath of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend that killed 31 people. “Background checks and red flags will probably lead the discussion,” the Senate leader said, referring to legislation that allows authorities to seize firearms from someone deemed a threat to themselves or others. The Republican leader rejected the idea to call senators back to
Washington from their summer recess to work on gun measures. Instead he wants to spend the August recess talking with Democratic and Republican senators to see what’s possible. More than 200 mayors, including two anguished by mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, are urging the Senate to return to the Capitol to act on gun safety legislation amid criticism that Congress is failing to respond to back-to-back shootings that left 31 people dead. In a letter Thursday to McConnell and the Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, the mayors wrote,
“Our nation can no longer wait for our federal government to take the actions necessary to prevent people who should not have access to firearms from being able to purchase them.” The mayors urged the Senate to vote on two House-passed bills expanding background checks for gun sales that passed that chamber earlier this year. It was signed by El Paso, Texas, Mayor Dee Margo, Dayton, Ohio, Mayor Nan Whaley and others where mass shootings have occurred, including Orlando and Parkland, Florida, Pittsburgh and
Annapolis, Maryland. The politics of gun violence are difficult for Republicans, including McConnell. He could risk losing support as he seeks reelection in Kentucky if he were to back restricting access to firearms and ammunition. Other Republicans, including those in Colorado, Maine and swing states, also would face difficult votes, despite the clamor for gun laws. GOP senators are also considering changes to the existing federal background checks system, as well as strengthening penalties for hate crimes.

Immigrants rally around detained By Jeff Amy and Rogelio V. Solis Associated Press
MORTON, Miss. — Mississippi residents rallied around terrified children left with no parents and migrants locked themselves in their homes for fear of being arrested Thursday, a day after the United States’ largest immigration raid in a decade. A total of 680 people were arrested in Wednesday’s raids, but more than 300 had been released by Thursday morning, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Bryan Cox said in an email. Cox said 30 of those who had been released were let go at the plants, while about 270 were released after being taken to a military hangar where they had been brought after the raids. He did not give a reason except to say that those released at the plants were let go due to “humanitarian factors.” “They were placed into proceedings before the federal immigration courts and will have their day in court at a later date,” he said. A small group seeking information about immigrants caught up in the raids gathered Thursday morning outside one of the targeted companies: the Koch Foods Inc. plant in Morton, a small town of roughly 3,000 people about 40 miles east of the

capital of Jackson. Gabriela Rosales, a sixyear resident of Morton who knows some of those detained, said she understands that “there’s a process and a law” for those living in the country illegally. “But the thing that they (ICE) did is devastating,” she said. “It was very devastating to see all those kids crying, having seen their parents for the last time.” On Wednesday, about 600 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents fanned out across plants operated by five companies, surrounding the perimeters to prevent workers from fleeing. Those arrested were taken to the military hangar to be processed for immigration violations. Before the raid, ICE officials
indicated many people would be released with a notice to appear in court because they had never before been through deportation proceedings. Those people were not jailed, but probably won’t be able to resume their jobs because the federal government alleges they are here illegally. ICE officials said others would be released if they were pregnant, had small children at home, or had serious health problems. Koch Foods, one of the country’s largest poultry producers based in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, said in a statement Thursday that it follows strict procedures to make sure full-time employees are eligible to work in the country. The company
said it vets the employees through the federal government database E-Verify. The Rev. Mike O’Brien, pastor of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Canton, said he waited outside the Peco Foods plant in the city until 4 a.m. Thursday for workers returning by bus. O’Brien said he visited a number of parishioners whose relatives had been arrested. He said he also drove home a person who had hidden from authorities inside the plant. “The people are all afraid,” he said. “Their doors are locked, and they won’t answer their doors.” Children whose parents were detained were being cared for by other family members and friends, O’Brien said. “They’re circling the wagons that way and taking care of each other,” he said. The Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services is investigating whether any immigrant children are in need of foster care while their parents are in detention, spokeswoman Lea Ann Brandon said. Martha Rogers, the chairman and CEO of the Bank of Morton, said businesses across town will be affected. Rogers said many Spanishspeaking residents have become customers. “We’ve all been greatly upset,” Rogers said. “We know these people.”
Experts push for domestic terrorism law By Stephanie Dazio and Eric Tucker Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Seven days, three mass shootings, 34 dead. The FBI has labeled two of those attacks, at a Texas Walmart and California food festival, as domestic terrorism — acts meant to intimidate or coerce a civilian population and affect government policy. But the bureau hasn’t gone that far with a shooting at an Ohio entertainment district. Even if there’s a domestic terrorism investigation, no such law exists in the federal criminal code. That means the Justice Department must rely on other laws such as hate crimes and weapons offenses in cases of politically motivated shootings. The legal gap has prompted many survivors, victims’ families, law enforcement officials and legal experts to call on lawmakers to create a domestic terrorism law that could aid investigators and punish perpetrators. “Calling something for
what it is is an important first step in combating this problem,” said Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. However, supporters of a domestic terrorism law say some lawmakers may be reluctant to push legislation that could target white supremacists. “When you dismiss it as a mass shooting or a hate crime or some crazed gunman, you’re minimizing what impact it has,” said Daryl Johnson, a former senior domestic terrorism analyst at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. “It’s a double standard. We should be calling all ideologically motivated violence terrorism, whether it comes from the white variety or the Muslim variety.” The gunmen in Ohio and Texas appear to be white, while the Gilroy shooter identified himself as Iranian and Italian on social media. In El Paso, authorities suspect a 21-yearold gunman posted
Shootings prompt travel warnings for U.S. By Scott Smith Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — The United States often takes a leading role in calling out the world’s most dangerous places, warning its people about the risks of traveling to countries that are at war, under terrorist threats, experiencing civil unrest or displaying significant antiAmerican sentiment. The latest mass shootings have triggered a sharp role reversal. Venezuela, Uruguay and Japan issued warnings to varying degrees following the deaths of 31 people over the weekend in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas. Each warning noted U.S. gun violence, and at least one was laced with a dose of political payback. Without directly naming President Donald Trump, the government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro
blamed the surge in violence on speeches emanating from Washington that are “impregnated with racial discrimination and hatred against immigrants.” It urges Venezuelans to postpone U.S. trips. The socialist Maduro is ruling over the worst economic crisis in Venezuelan history amid an escalating political battle with the White House, which backs opposition leader Juan Guaidó’s bid to oust him. Countries such as Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands have not issued warnings in recent days, but they have longstanding advisories for travelers of mass shootings and gun violence. The State Department is obligated to inform the public about potential threats under a “no double standard” rule that calls for such information to be shared equally with government employees as well as the public.

In Gilroy, authorities say, the 19-year-old attacker who killed three people, including two children, had compiled a “target list” that included religious groups, federal buildings and both major political parties. Search warrant records released Thursday show authorities found a passport, clown mask, wilderness survival guide and bottle rockets — as well as a pamphlet for the garlic festival he targeted — in his car. In Dayton, Ohio, however, the FBI has not yet said if it considers an attack that killed nine people to be domestic terrorism. The bureau says the 2 4 - y e a r- o l d g u n ma n expressed a desire to commit a mass shooting and showed an interest in violent ideology. In addition, posts from what appears to be his Twitter account endorsed communism, bemoaned President Donald Trump’s election and supported Democratic
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president. Todd Lindgren, an FBI spokesman in the Cincinnati office, said the bureau is investigating the shooter’s motive and ideologies — including combing through his social media — but he declined to address a potential domestic terrorism aspect of the case. Domestic terrorism has historically been applied to violent anti-government extremists such as Timothy McVeigh, who was executed for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Crimes targeting African Americans, Jewish people and other minorities have more regularly been treated as hate crimes, rather than terrorist attacks, and investigated by FBI criminal agents instead of counterterrorism agents. The FBI Agents Association, which represents thousands of active-duty and retired agents, has called for Congress to make domestic terrorism a federal crime to ensure investigators and prosecutors have the “best tools” to fight it.

Trump calls for Fed rate cuts WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is not letting up on his attacks on the Federal Reserve, calling for “substantial” Fed rate cuts to allow the dollar to fall in value against foreign currencies. In a series of tweets Thursday, Trump said, “As your president, one would think that I would be thrilled with our very strong dollar. I am not!” Trump said that the Fed’s high level of interest rates in comparison to other countries was keeping the dollar too strong and making it more difficult for U.S. manufacturers to compete. The Fed reduced its key policy rate by a quarter-point last week, but Trump is pushing for more interest rate cuts. Those cuts can lower the dollar’s value against other currencies, although other factors are also at play.
McCabe sues FBI, Justice over his firing
WASHINGTON — Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, a frequent target of President Donald Trump’s ire, sued the FBI and the Justice Department on Thursday over his firing. The lawsuit, the second this week from an ex-FBI official challenging the circumstances of his termination, says the firing was part of Trump’s plan to rid the bureau of leaders he perceived as disloyal to him. The complaint contends that the two officials responsible for demoting and then firing McCabe — FBI Director Chris Wray and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions — created a pretext to force him out in accordance with the president’s wishes. The stated reason for the firing was that McCabe had misled investigators over his involvement in a news media leak, but McCabe says the real reason was “his refusal to pledge allegiance to a single man.” The federal complaint accuses the FBI and Justice Department of straying from established policies, with Wray refusing to tell McCabe why he was being fired and a senior Justice Department lawyer telling McCabe’s own lawyer that they were “making it up as we go along.” It says the government sped up disciplinary proceedings so McCabe could be fired ahead of his planned retirement and without receiving full benefits. Spokespeople for the FBI and Justice Department declined to comment Thursday.
Report: Facebook offers ‘millions’ for news SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook is reportedly in talks with news publishers to offer “millions of dollars” for the rights to publish their material on its site. The move follows years of criticism over its growing monopolization of online advertising to the detriment of the struggling news industry. The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Facebook representatives had told news executives that they’d pay as much as $3 million a year to license stories, headlines and other material. Facebook declined to comment but confirmed that the company is working on launching a “news tab” for its service this fall. — Associated Press
Today is Friday, Aug. 9, the 221st day of 2019. There are 144 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 9, 1945, three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, a U.S. B-29 Superfortress code-named Bockscar dropped a nuclear device (“Fat Man”) over Nagasaki, killing an estimated 74,000 people. On this date: In 1854, Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden,” which described Thoreau’s experiences while living near Walden Pond in Massachusetts, was first published. In 1902, Edward VII was crowned king of Britain following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria. In 1910, the U.S. Patent Office granted Alva J. Fisher of the Hurley Machine Co. a patent for an electrically powered washing machine. In 1936, Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal at the Berlin Olympics as the United States took first place in the 400-meter relay. In 1944, 258 African-American sailors based at Port Chicago, California, refused to load a munitions ship following a cargo vessel explosion that killed 320 men, many of them black. (Fifty of the sailors were convicted of mutiny, fined and imprisoned.) In 1969, actress Sharon Tate and four other people were found brutally slain at Tate’s Los Angeles home; cult leader Charles Manson and a group of his followers were later convicted of the crime. In 1974, Vice President Gerald R. Ford became the nation’s 38th chief executive as President Richard Nixon’s resignation took effect. In 1982, a federal judge in Washington ordered John W. Hinckley Jr., who’d been acquitted of shooting President Ronald Reagan and three others by reason of insanity, committed to a mental hospital. In 1985, a federal judge in Norfolk, Virginia, found retired Navy officer Arthur J. Walker guilty of seven counts of spying for the Soviet Union. (Walker, who was sentenced to life, died in prison in 2014 at the age of 79.) In 1988, President Ronald Reagan nominated Lauro Cavazos (kahVAH’-zohs) to be secretary of education; Cavazos became the first Hispanic to serve in the Cabinet. In 1995, Jerry Garcia, lead singer of the Grateful Dead, died in Forest Knolls, California, of a heart attack at age 53. In 2004, Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, addressing a court for the first time, asked victims of the blast for forgiveness as a judge sentenced him to 161 consecutive life sentences. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama flew to Guadalajara, Mexico, for a two-day speed summit with Mexican President Felipe Calderon (fay-LEE’-pay kahl-duh-ROHN’) and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Iraqi authorities arrested British contractor Danny Fitzsimons in the shooting deaths of two co-workers in Baghdad’s protected Green Zone. (Fitzsimons was convicted by an Iraqi court in 2011 and sentenced to 20 years in prison.) Five years ago: Michael Brown Jr., an unarmed 18-year-old black man, was shot to death by a police officer following an altercation in Ferguson, Missouri; Brown’s death led to sometimes-violent protests in Ferguson and other U.S. cities, spawning a national “Black Lives Matter” movement. One year ago: Vice President Mike Pence announced plans for a new, separate U.S. Space Force as a sixth military service by 2020. The parents of first lady Melania Trump were sworn in as U.S. citizens; they had been living in the country as permanent residents. Player demonstrations again took place at several early NFL preseason games, with two Philadelphia Eagles players raising their fists during the national anthem. Evacuation orders expanded to 20,000 as a wildfire that had been intentionally set moved perilously close to homes in Southern California. Today’s Birthdays: Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Cousy is 91.

GENEVA — Humancaused climate change is dramatically degrading the Earth’s land and the way people use the land is making global warming worse, a new United Nations scientific report says. That creates a vicious cycle which is already making food more expensive, scarcer and less nutritious. “The cycle is accelerating,” said NASA climate scientist Cynthia Rosenzweig, a co-author of the report. “The threat of climate change affecting people’s food on their dinner table is increasing.” But if people change the way they eat, grow food and manage forests, it could help save the planet from a far warmer future, scientists said. Earth’s land masses, which are only 30% of the globe, are warming twice as fast as the planet as a whole. While heat-trapping gases are causing problems in the atmosphere, the land has been less talked about as part of climate change. A special report, written by more than 100 scientists and unanimously approved by diplomats from nations around the world Thursday at a meeting in Geneva, proposed possible fixes and made more dire warnings. “The way we use land is both part of the problem and also part of the solution,” said Valerie Masson-Delmotte, a French climate scientist who co-chairs one of the panel’s working groups. “Sustainable land management can help secure a future that is comfortable.” Scientists at Thursday’s press conference emphasized both the seriousness of the problem and the need to make societal changes soon. “We don’t want a message of despair,” said science panel official Jim Skea, a professor at Imperial College London. “We want to get across the message that every action makes a difference.” Still the stark message hit
that the high levels of carbon dioxide reduce protein and nutrients in many crops. For example, high levels of carbon in the air in experiments show wheat has 6% to 13% less protein, 4% to 7% less zinc and 5% to 8% less iron, she said. But better farming practices — such as no-till agricultural and better targeted fertilizer applications — have the potential to fight global warming, too, reducing carbon pollution up to 18% of current emissions levels by 2050, the report said. If people change their diets, reducing red meat and increasing plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables and seeds, the world can save as much as another 15% of current emissions by midcentury. It would also make people more healthy, Rosenzweig said. The science panel said they aren’t telling people what to eat because that’s a personal choice. Reducing food waste can fight climate change even more. The report said that between 2010 and 2016, global food waste accounted for 8% to 10% of heat-trapping emissions. With just another 0.9 degrees F of warming, which could happen in the next 10 to 30 years, the risk of unstable food supplies, wildfire damage, thawing permafrost and water shortages in dry areas “are projected to be high,” the report said. At another 1.8 degrees F of warming from now, which could happen in about 50 years, it said those risks “are projected to be very high.” Most scenarios predict the world’s tropical regions will have “unprecedented climatic conditions by the mid-to-late 21st century,” the report noted. Agriculture and forestry together account for about 23% of the heat-trapping gases that are warming the Earth, slightly less than from cars, trucks, boats and planes. Add in transporting food, energy costs, packaging and that grows to 37%, the report said.
UK opposition warns Johnson against Brexit ‘abuse of power’ By Jill Lawless Associated Press

home hard for some of the authors. “I’ve lost a lot of sleep about what the science is saying. As a person, it’s pretty scary,” Koko Warner, a manager in the U.N. Climate Change secretariat who helped write a report chapter on risk management and decision-making, told The Associated Press after the report was presented at the World Meteorological Organization headquarters in Geneva. “We need to act urgently.” The report said climate change already has worsened land degradation, caused deserts to grow, permafrost to thaw and made forests more vulnerable to drought, fire, pests and disease. That’s happened even as much of the globe has gotten greener because of extra carbon dioxide in the air. Climate change has also added to the forces that have reduced the number of species on Earth. “Climate change is really slamming the land,” said World Resources Institute researcher Kelly Levin, who wasn’t part of the study. And the future could be worse. “The stability of food supply is projected to decrease as the magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events that disrupt food chains increases,” the report said. In the worst-case scenario, food security problems change from moderate to high risk with just a few more tenths of a degree of warming from now. They go from high to “very high” risk with just another 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit of warming from now. “The potential risk of multi-breadbasket failure is increasing,” NASA’s Rosenzweig said. “Just to give examples, the crop yields were effected in Europe just in the last two weeks.” Scientists had long thought one of the few benefits of higher levels of carbon dioxide, the major heat-trapping gas, was that it made plants grow more and the world greener, Rosenzweig said. But numerous studies show
LONDON — Britain’s main opposition leader is seeking a guarantee that Prime Minister Boris Johnson won’t let the U.K. tumble out of the European Union during an election campaign. Johnson says Britain will leave the EU as scheduled on Oct. 31, with or without a divorce deal. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Thursday accused him of planning “anti-democratic” maneuvers to get his way. Opposition lawmakers plan to try to topple Johnson’s Conservative government with a no-confidence vote when Parliament returns from its summer break in September.
If the government should lose, Johnson would have to call a national election. Allies say Johnson could hold the election after Oct. 31, so Britain would automatically leave the EU during the campaign. Corbyn said that would be “an unprecedented, unconstitutional and anti-democratic abuse of power.” By convention, governments are not supposed to make any major policy decisions during election periods. Corbyn wrote to civil service chief Mark Sedwill on Thursday seeking a ruling that the government would have to delay Brexit until after an election “to let the electorate decide and the incoming government to take the next steps on the basis of the
voters’ wishes.” Johnson became prime minister last month after winning a Conservative Party leadership contest on a promise to leave the EU on Oct. 31, with or without a divorce agreement. He is demanding the bloc renegotiate the deal it struck with his predecessor, Theresa May, something that EU leaders are refusing to do. On Thursday, Johnson declined to say what he would do if the government lost a no-confidence vote. “We are going to leave the European Union on Oct. 31, which is what the people of this country voted for, it’s what MPs voted for, and that’s what I think parliamentarians of this country should get on and do,” he said.

After massacre, many turn to El Paso’s Catholic traditions By Astrid Galvan Associated Press
EL PASO, Texas — The growing memorial for victims of the El Paso massacre reflects the city’s deep roots in Catholicism: A painting of the Virgin Mary sits among teddy bears and candles embellished with religious imagery. White crosses are adorned with rosaries. Founded by Catholic missionaries, the largely Hispanic city has 75 Catholic churches, including many that are pillars of their communities. Their fundraising bazaars known as kerméses are treasured events that draw hundreds of people with homemade food, music and games. In this time of tribulation, many of El Paso’s people turn to religious traditions for comfort and strength. At Wednesday morning Mass in St. Mark’s Catholic Church, 57-year-old Margarita Segura said the sermon about persevering in one’s faith resonated with her.
“That’s what I’m drawing on right now,” Segura said, explaining that the community and the nation can’t let the shooting “break our faith.” Hundreds of people come and go at the memorial just north of the Walmart where a gunman opened fire on Saturday, leaving 22 people dead and about two dozen wounded. The white shooter reportedly targeted Hispanics, and eight Mexicans were among the dead. The visitors drop off flowers, balloons, teddy bears and religious items. Sometimes large prayer circles are formed. Others sit vigil and pray the Rosary. The Rosary includes several prayers that take at least 20 minutes to finish. Maria Tovar was alone as she silently prayed for the victims. “So many things happen every day, and this is the way I find peace,” Tovar said. The missionaries who founded El Paso mixed their

traditions with those of indigenous peoples, said the Rev. Arturo J. Bañuelas, a lifelong resident who heads St. Mark’s. That “created a vibrant new expression of faith, where faith was not associated any longer with just an institution, but a way of living that influenced
people’s way of life and their values.” Pope Francis’ visit to neighboring Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, three years ago drew tens of thousands of El Paso residents who crossed the border to see him. Those who couldn’t get in stood in line for hours to pack an
El Paso university football stadium, where the pope’s message was livestreamed. They cheered when his face came on giant screens. So although many El Paso families might not necessarily be active in the church or even Catholic, they participate in old traditions like
quinceañeras — the celebration of a girl turning 15— and baptisms and weddings. The role of religion in American life has diminished over the last decade. While roughly 77 percent of Americans identify with some form of religion, the percentage of them who consider religion important has dropped in significant ways, according to research conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2014, the latest available data. Pew found that 53 percent of people surveyed found religion to be important in their lives, compared with 56 percent seven years earlier. Bañuelas faces that challenge every day. He says it’s hard to attract young people who are unhappy with organized religion. But he also sees a lot of young people looking for meaning in their lives and turning to the church to find it. “I see that very strongly. There’s a deeper hunger among young people,” he said.

Too many roads to travel

Popular trails reopen to hikers Clearing on lower third of Skyline opens up new views By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
Now that the Swan Lake Fire is slowly fizzling out, the majority of mountain trails and wilderness areas are back open for hikers, bikers and adventurers to enjoy. But which ones are ready to explore again? And which ones are still in need of a brush clearing? Leah Eskelin at the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge said nearly everything is open, but some trails are still overgrown due to the lengthy closures stemming from the fire, which kept maintenance crews off the trails as well. Among those areas that are closed are the Mystery Creek Road that winds its way north from the Sterling Highway at the foothills of the Kenai Mountains. Eskelin said
the road would have been closing soon anyway but the fire expedited the process. Eskelin said the Big Indian and Trapper Joe public use cabins are also unavailable for the rest of the season. The popular Skyline, Fuller Lake trails and Seven Lakes trail head have also been opened, with Skyline sporting a considerably look after fire crews cleared significant brush from sections of the uphill trail. Eskelin said fire crews during the wildfire used Skyline as a contingency line, essentially a third option for crews to take in fighting the spread of the flames, and clearing out ample space along the trail provided the opportunity for quick access in preventative scenarios. “We had natural fire in some areas of landscape that hadn’t seen
wildfire in around 2,000 years,” Eskelin said about the Mystery Hills landscape. “You don’t see fires in upper tundra areas. At that elevation, if you look at the historical fire record, it’s been 70 years ago that we had our last fire.” According to a Kenai National Wildlife Refuge map, the last major fire in the Mystery Hills unit came in 1947, with previous fires also occurring in 1849, 1834 and 1762. While Skyline was brushed out as a contingency plan, Fuller Lakes was left alone, meaning the trail up to the two lakes became overgrown with no foot traffic, but Eskelin said the trail should be cleared soon. Eskelin also said that a burgeoning species of grass, Calamagrostis canadensis (also known as bluejoint grass) has continued a recent trend of overcrowding trails,
adding to the problem. Bluejoint grass is a native grass that typically doesn’t grow well in wet climate, but with hotter, dryer summers that the Kenai Peninsula has experienced, the grass has bloomed across the mountains and has smothered popular trails in recent years. “A lot of places are usually too wet to carry that grass, but with the long-term climatic change, some trails have grown spots where we don’t typically have that type of brush,” she said. Eskelin also stressed that while the Swan Lake Fire has mostly subsided and the campfire restriction is lifted, the wildfire threat is still high. “Whenever someone is breaking See hike, Page A10
Arneson nabs Mountain Running Grand Prix Staff Report Peninsula Clarion
Anchorage’s Lars Arneson, a 2009 graduate of Cook Inlet Academy, has won the men’s title in the 2019 Alaska Mountain Running Grand Prix. Fellow Anchorage mountain runner Rosie Frankowski is the women’s winner. The Alaska Mountain Running Grand Prix is made up of seven races — Crazy Lazy, Kal’s Knoya Ridge Run, Government Peak Climb, Robert Spurr Memorial Hill Climb at Bird Ridge, Mount Marathon Race, Cirque Series Alyeska and Matanuska Peak Challenge. The Grand Prix standings are determined by taking a racer’s best four finishes, with at least two
finishes required to make the final list. Arneson won with 365 points, while runner-up Eric Strabel had 305. Arneson won the Crazy Lazy, took second at Knoya, took second at Government Peak and claimed third at Mount Marathon. A pair of Seward runners also had a strong showing, with Pyper Dixon taking fifth with 290 points and Erik Johnson taking ninth with 245 points. Dixon was spurred on by a strong finish in the last three races of the season, taking fourth at Mount Marathon, third at Mat Peak and sixth at Cirque Series Alyeska. He also was ninth at Government Peak. Johnson had fifth-place finishes
at Mount Marathon and Alyeska, a 10th at Bird Ridge and an 11th at Crazy Lazy. Frankowski, an APU skier who finished 21st in the 30K classic at the 2018 Winter Olympics, scored a perfect 400 points by winning Knoya, Government Peak, Bird Ridge and Alyeska, setting new records at Knoya and Government Peak in the process. Fueled by a strong start to the season, Anchorage’s Denali Strabel, a 2008 graduate of Seward High, took second with 355 points. She won Crazy Lazy and finished second at Knoya and Government Peak before taking fifth at Mount Marathon, where a foot injury ended her season. Anchorage’s Julianne Dickerson,
raised in Kenai and a 2006 graduate of Wings Christian Academy, was third with 345 points after a second at Alyeska and thirds at Government Peak, Bird Ridge and Mount Marathon. Seward’s Hannah Lafleur competed in just three races, but that was good enough for fifth with 280 points. Lafleur won Mount Marathon and was second at Crazy Lazy and Bird Ridge. Also, 2018 Seward High grad Ruby Lindquist was 15th, 1998 Seward High grad Aubrey Smith was 19th and Seward’s Karol Fink was 28th. The annual awards ceremony will be Sunday at 6 p.m. at the Peanut Farm and Grill in Anchorage.
he idea of multiverses has been big lately, in this one at least. The theory goes that the world we live in is just one of an infinite number of universes, stretching the definition of universe from everything that exists to everything that we can see. Movies, books and more have been toying with the idea of an infinite number of universes, opened up with the snap of a finger. In “Dark Matter,” author Blake Crouch details a harrowing journey across multiverses and puts a good spin on the possibility of other worlds. “Imagine you’re a fish, swimming in a pond. You can move forward and back, side to side, but never up out of the water. If someone were standing beside the pond, watching you, you’d have no idea they were there. To you, that little pond is an entire universe. Now imagine that someone reaches down and lifts you out of the pond. You see that what you thought was the entire world is only a small pool. You see other ponds. Trees. The sky above. You realize you’re a part of a much larger and more mysterious reality than you had ever dreamed of.” Theories like that, in this world, make me think too much. I’m prone to anxiety and the idea that Crouch puts forth in “Dark Matter” says that these multiverses are created by each individual’s decisions. So, that means there could be worlds out there where I can see the outcome of everything for which I’ve ever written a pros versus cons list. The character in Crouch’s book searches for these worlds, and although he may be a villian (in some universes), I couldn’t say I wouldn’t do the same thing. Imagine the possibilities of being able to see each path I could’ve taken. I could find where I would be now if I hadn’t decided to move to Alaska three years ago. That’s a big decision, isn’t it? And it’s something I often wonder when I’m warming up on a cold, dark winter day or, lately, when I’m simmering on a scorching hot Alaska summer evening without a New Jersey beach on which to cool down. Is it blashpemy to buy an air conditioner in Alaska? Do they even sell them in Alaska? The version of me that lives in New Jersey definitely still owns an air conditioner. I don’t even want to think of where I would be if I had chosen to go to Rutgers University instead of Boston University. I know that, for sure, I’d have a lot less debt and entirely different life experiences, See BLUE, Page A9
The difference between predicting climate change and its ecological outcomes
T
he University of Alaska Fairbanks has a great online climate forecasting tool. Simply type in a town, the future decade(s), an emission scenario and voila — you get a forecast of what the future climate may look like. I used this tool to assess the climate in Homer, the nearest town to where I conduct my graduate research in deforested areas of the Caribou Hills. June 2010 to 2019 had 0.3 inches less rain and was 3.5 degrees warmer on average than historical records. These differences might seem modest, but collectively they correspond to some truly dramatic ecological

Kenai National Wildlife Refuge transformation. Ecological responses to shifts in climate are real, happening now and they are downright complicated. The Caribou Hills grassland is so big I can’t see the end of it! In just 15 years, this landscape changed from a mature Lutz spruce forest to a bluejoint grassland littered with burned stumps. This deforestation was caused by a massive spruce bark beetle outbreak in the 1990s that coincided with warming and drying, followed by the
human-caused Caribou Hills Fire that burned this developing grassland in spring 2007. In early June of this year, an unprecedented lightningcaused fire in this grassland was extinguished by firefighters. We believe this novel grassland system, which is experiencing fire return intervals of less than 10 years, is crossing an ecological threshold in which the current grasslands will not only persist but may expand in coming years. Herein lies the difference between forecasting the physical aspects of climate change, and predicting See refuge, Page A9

Murray debuts as Cards top Chargers By The Associated Press Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray went 6 for 7 for 44 yards in the 10 plays of the Cardinals’ first offensive series of the game. Then he put on a headset, took off his pads and watched the Cardinals’ 17-13 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the preseason opener for both teams Thursday night. The 2018 Heisman Trophy winner, starting his first NFL drive at the Cardinals 2 after a fumble recovery, picked up three first downs, with his longest completion a 14-yard short pass to running back David Johnson.
Patriots 31, Lions 3 DETROIT — Jakobi Meyers caught two touchdown passes in an impressive preseason debut, and New England drubbed Detroit. Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford didn’t play, and plenty of other key players were also spectators. Myers stood out for New England. The undrafted rookie caught scoring passes from Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham in the second quarter. He finished with six catches for 69 yards. Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman (thumb) has been sidelined for the Patriots, and Phillip Dorsett is the only other returning receiver. Meyers seems to be taking advantage of his opportunity.

ecological effects that are the outcome of a changing climate. In the case of the former, much of the uncertainty is in estimating the emissions of greenhouse gases, which are strongly influenced by how successful the global community will be in reducing those emissions. Additionally, there are uncertainties introduced by poor modeling of positive feedback mechanisms in climate change, such as how much and how soon methane will be released from thawing permafrost. In contrast, while direct ecological responses to a warming climate can be reasonably predicted, the indirect and frequently cascading effects of novel ecological trajectories have great uncertainty. Their complexity runs up against the limits of what is scientifically knowable. For example, we can predict with great certainty that spruce

Ravens 29, Jaguars 0 BALTIMORE — Lamar Jackson directed two scoring drives in three possessions and the Baltimore Ravens’ defense throttled Jacksonville backup quarterback Gardner Minshew. The Jaguars played without quarterback Nick Foles, the 2018r Super Bowl MVP who was signed as a free agent in March. Foles was one of 32 players who were either injured or rested by coach Doug Marrone in the preseason opener, which came after the teams held two joint practices earlier in the week.
Bills 24, Colts 16 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — With LeSean McCoy resting, and Frank Gore limited to two series, rookie running back Devin Singletary got the Bills off to a running start . On Buffalo’s fourth drive, Singletary showed off the shiftiness that led to the Bills drafting him in the third round. He accounted for 16 yards rushing and 21 receiving as part of a 46-yard drive that ended with Matt Barkley hitting
Cam Phillips for an 8-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring 5½ minutes into the second quarter.
Browns 30, Redskins 10 CLEVELAND — Baker Mayfield threw a touchdown pass to end his only series as the Browns gave a brief preview of their offensive firepower. Mayfield picked up where he left off following his “dangerous” rookie season, firing a 24-yard TD pass to Rashard Higgins as the Browns went no-huddle and drove 89 yards in just 2:13 to open the game.
Titans 27, Eagles 10 PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles rested Carson Wentz only to lose his backup. Nate Sudfeld left the sideline on a cart after injuring his left arm on a late hit in the second quarter. Sudfeld fell backward after a personal foul by Isaiah Mack and immediately went to the sideline. He was wearing an air cast on the cart ride to the locker room. There was no immediate word on the extent of his injury.

bark beetles and wildfire will be more prevalent in a warming and drying climate, but it is much harder to understand how these two disturbances interact to affect vegetation and the habitats they create. Why is that? First, we don’t even have a complete inventory of species which occur on the Kenai Peninsula. We aren’t sure how each species got here, or exactly how they interact with other species. We don’t know their fundamental niches and how that may change when competition is removed or their climate envelope changes. Second, we aren’t quite sure how putting directional pressure (from a warming climate) on an entire ecosystem influences these relationships. Third, and most unknowable, we don’t know how a changing ecosystem will function with a new climate, new disturbance regimes and a novel mix of species. To remove some of this ecological uncertainty, we are trying to determine which species occur in these new grasslands in the Caribou
Hills. After all, you have to have a starting point. We use Next Generation Sequencing (genetic) techniques to determine arthropod species that occur above and below ground, as well as the soil fungi – the little things that run the world. Is biodiversity in this grassland depauperate? Does it lack species necessary to function and perpetuate diversity? How do these species fit together? Could it serve as a refugia for species being diminished in other areas? What species are primed to colonize this area, from folks deliberately or accidentally bringing them to the peninsula? We can also quantify the number and size of tree seedlings by species to predict how frequent the fire return interval would have to be to kill them and eventually exhaust the seed bank. We can measure the size of the grassland and see if it changes with the next fire, and we can determine how, where and when fires are ignited. We can also read the story of the woods using dendrochronological techniques.
run with me, so I decided to stick to some more tourist trafficked trails, but if I chose Lost Lake I would’ve, quite literally, taken a different path. And then, what would I have found? I heard it’s been recently groomed in preparation for the Lost Lake Run, so only good things, I hope. Or, if I let my anxiety get the better of me, maybe I would’ve run into a bear or a few angry ptarmigan
ready to protect their roost from seemingly wayward runners. Well, on this path that I’m leading, I decided to head out into the woods for a few days. Hopefully, it’ll ease some of the tension. As for the universe where I decide to stay home and reread “Dark Matter,” or rewatch “Into the Spiderverse,” who knows how anxious she’ll be this time next week.
one interception and played half the game. He’s competing for the quarterback job with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, who worked the first two Dolphins series and led them to a field goal. Atlanta backup Matt Schaub threw for 172 yards and led the team to four scores in the first half. Schaub went 12 for 19 with no touchdowns or turnovers for the Falcons (0-2), who have lost 10 consecutive exhibition games since 2017.
Giants 31, Jets 22 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Daniel Jones threw a touchdown pass in his only series and opened speculation on how long he will have to wait to replace Eli Manning. The preseason opener for both teams was suspended for 59 minutes late in the first quarter when lightning and heavy rain rolled into the MetLife Stadium area. By that time, Jones had Giants fans on their feet.
Seahawks 22, Broncos 14 SEATTLE — Paxton Lynch threw for one score and ran for another against his former team as part of an impressive second-half performance, leading Seattle over Denver. Competing with Geno Smith for the backup job behind Russell Wilson, Lynch made up for some shaky moments during the first two weeks of training camp by leading
Where fire and spruce bark beetles are not imposing their sometimes draconian culling of forests, we can assess if native trees are stressed, regardless, using tree ring data. By applying data from around the peninsula to models that account for agerelated and stand-related growth, we can deduce if some of our species are on their way out in parts of the western peninsula that are warming and drying at different rates.
Seattle on a trio of second-half scoring drives using both his arm and legs to move Seattle’s offense.
Panthers 23, Bears 13 CHICAGO — With Elliott Fry and Eddy Pineiro battling for the Chicago Bears kicking job, the best kicking effort came from Carolina Panthers rookie Joey Slye. Slye made field goals of 42, 55 and 29 yards and the Panthers had a 7-yard touchdown catch and 11-yard TD run from rookie Elijah Holyfield.
Packers 28, Texans 26 GREEN BAY, Wis. — DeShone Kizer was 8 for 13 with 102 yards and a touchdown. Tim Boyle added two second-half touchdown passes for the Packers as Aaron Rodgers had the night off. With Deshaun Watson not playing and A.J. McCarron sidelined with a thumb injury on his right throwing hand, Joe Webb, the only other quarterback on the Texans’ roster, played the entire game. The 10th-year veteran was 25 for 40 for 286 yards a touchdown and two interceptions. Packers receiver Equanimeous St. Brown recovered a fumbled punt in the end zone, Kizer threw a TD pass to Darrius Shepherd to give the Packers a 14-7 lead and Boyle added TD passes to J’Mon Moore and Allen Lazard in the third quarter to give the Packers a 28-10 lead.
Lastly, we can use climate envelope modeling to predict which species might do quite well here, and also use core nonnative trees planted here, like larch and lodgepole pine, to assess which species are likely to be successful here. All of this gets at the uncertainty of how our boreal system is responding to a rapidly warming climate here on the peninsula. When we know this, perhaps we can steward the ecological outcomes toward a more benign and productive
future. Just so you know, Homer is predicted to be a whopping 11.5 degrees warmer with 0.2 inches less precipitation by the end of this century.

Maloney, Lorring win ABC Life Choices run Staff Report Peninsula Clarion
Michael Maloney and Tanis Lorring won the 5-kilometer ABC Life Choices Celebrate Life! 5K Run and Walk on Saturday in Soldotna. Maloney finished in 17 minutes, 23 seconds, to defeat runner-up Mekbeb Denbrock by 14 seconds. Lorring took the women’s race at 20:07, with Ahlan Owens nabbing runner-up honors at 23:40. The boys 5-kilometer run went to Craig Babitt at 23:00, with Westin Werner the runner-up at 23:05. The girls 5-kilometer run went to Raylee Alleman at 26:15, while Valerie McAnelly was next at 26:21. While the 5K events had 101 participants — and 99 finishers — there were also 226 in the walk, which was nearly 5 kilometers, to swell the total number of participants in the event to 327. Kris Harris, the administrative director for ABC Life Choices in Kenai, said the event, held the first Saturday in August every year, is one of two major fundraisers for the organization. The other is a pie auction the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. The run and walk is free, with participants free to give donations. Businesses and others can also sponsor the event, and ABC Life Choices raised $8,600 from those sponsorships.
ABC Life Choices provides pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and sexually transmitted infection testing. The organization also offers mentoring classes, in a group setting or one-on-one, that deal with parenting, childbirth, life skills, anger management and financial peace. ABC Life Choices also works with clients coming out of getting sexually trafficked. ABC Life Choices Celebrate Life! 5K Run and Walk Men’s 5-kilometer run: 1. Michael Maloney 17:23; 2.

Denison earns silver in Costa Rica Nikiski powerlifter Billie Denison earned a silver medal Thursday at the North American Powerlifting Federation Regional Championships in San Jose, Costa Rica. Denison, 29, took second place at 72 kilograms in the equipped open class in her international debut. It was also only her third time competing in the equipped division, which utilizes a squat suit, knee wraps, a
bench shirt and a deadlift suit to help lift more weight compared to the raw category. Lifters complete three separate lifts, the squat, bench press and deadlift, and the combined weight lifted determines their final score. Denison will travel to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, next for the Bench Press Nationals to compete the last week of August.

Yanks top Jays, take 9th straight By The Associated Press TORONTO — Gio Urshela hit two home runs for the second straight game and the New York Yankees outslugged rookie Bo Bichette and the Toronto Blue Jays 12-6 Thursday night to extend their winning streak to a season-best nine games. Playing in Toronto for the first time, Bichette became the first player in major league history to double in nine consecutive games. He also homered, giving him an unprecedented 13 extrabase hits in his first 11 career games. Bichette is the first rookie to have an extra-base hit in nine straight games since Ted Williams in 1939, according to STATS.

righted himself and struck out 13 over eight innings of two-hit ball, Sam Travis hit a two-run homer and Boston beat Los Angeles. Sale (6-11) had allowed 14 runs over nine innings during his previous two starts, both against the rival New York Yankees. He carved up the Angels in his 13th outing with double-digit strikeouts this season.
Cole Hamels struggled, but Tyler Chatwood (5-1) fanned six in three innings as Chicago pulled away. Reds manager David Bell returned from a six-game suspension for going after Pirates manager Clint Hurdle during a benches-clearing brawl last week at Great American Ball Park.
INDIANS 7, TWINS 5 MINNEAPOLIS — Jose Ramirez drove in three runs, Mike Clevinger kept Minnesota quiet with nine strikeouts in seven innings, and Cleveland struck first in this four-game series between the AL Central front-runners to pull within a game of the Twins. Indians closer Brad Hand ended the game by retiring Eddie Rosario on a routine flyout with the bases loaded, recording his 29th save in dramatic fashion.
SAN DIEGO — Rookie Fernando Tatis Jr. hit his second leadoff home run in two games — and teamrecord sixth this season — and San Diego scored five unearned runs in the sixth inning to beat Colorado. Tatis broke the old record of five leadoff homers by Will Venable in 2011 when he drove a 1-0 pitch from Jon Gray (10-8) into the home run porch in the right field corner. It was the 22nd of the season for Tatis, who hit a leadoff homer in a 3-2 loss at Seattle on Wednesday.
MIAMI — Brian Anderson homered twice, Elieser Hernandez (2-4) pitched six shutout innings and Miami beat Atlanta on a rough night for Dallas Keuchel. Hernandez retired 11 consecutive batters before Ronald Acuña Jr.’s leadoff single in the sixth. The Marlins chased Keuchel (3-5) with a five-run fourth capped by Anderson’s second home run and 20th of the season for an 8-0 lead. Keuchel allowed eight runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings, his shortest outing since joining the Braves on June 10.

CINCINNATI — Anthony Rizzo had a pair of hits as part of a 30th birthday celebration, Nicholas Castellanos added to his Chicago surge with a pair of homers and the Cubs beat Cincinnati for their biggest NL Central lead of the season. The Cubs’ sixth win in seven games gave them a 3½-game margin over the idle Brewers. Left-hander
SAN FRANCISCO — Madison Bumgarner carried a no-hit bid into the sixth inning and won his fourth straight decision, pitching San Francisco past Philadelphia to snap a four-game losing streak. Pinch-hitter Cesar Hernandez hit a sharp single up the middle with one out in the sixth to break it up. Before that, the only Phillies
DETROIT — Jordy Mercer hit a walk-off, two-run homer against Richard Lovelady (0-2) in the ninth inning to lift Detroit over Kansas City. Travis Demeritte led off the ninth with his third walk of the game and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jake Rogers. Mercer then hit a 2-1 fastball into the right field stands.
recently returned after a much-needed break in late July, which saw rainfall and cooler temps prevail for several days. With warm weather and dry conditions sticking around, Eskelin emphasized that campfires must be contained in established rings. Another danger to watch out for are ash pits, Eskelin
said, which are seemingly innocuous spots of ash that may look cold to the casual observer, but are still red hot under the surface. Eskelin said with the proximity of the Swan Lake Fire to the highway system and the accessibility to burned out forest, hikers must avoid crossing through charred remains of burned trees.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You explode onto the social scene, perhaps earlier than you anticipated. You might find work challenging, as your attention seems to wander. Consider taking off early. You will be happy and so will others. Tonight: Try a new spot.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might be unusually receptive to a key partner. Oneon-one relating is highlighted. You know what you want and where you are heading. Lighten up and take your time. Tonight: Say “thank you” nicely.
Invite a friend or two over.
HHHH Defer to another person who you care a lot about. You might feel more connected to someone else than you are aware. Go with the flow, knowing full well what you want and expect. Tonight: Decide who and then you’ll know what to do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Focus on getting the job done. Your sense of humor comes through when dealing with a coworker or a friend you often run into. Stay open to a new idea that could add more interest to your daily life. Tonight: Do your thing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You could feel unusually energized and have difficulty staying focused. Consider leaving work early. Your personality draws a loved one or a potential loved one closer. If you have a child, they want more parent time! Tonight: Hop on out.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Opt to work from home if possible. You need some downtime just for yourself. You also might have a secret project that you are not discussing. You need time and space to dig in. Tonight:
Dear Heloise: In one of your columns, you advised people to not buy animals online. I didn’t listen! I bought a puppy online for $300 and got a very sick little guy who cost me over $1,200 in vet bills due to health
Rubes | Leigh Rubin
HHHHH You keep getting calls and requests to join others, whether for business or your personal life. You need to put more energy into your emotional life. You will be happier, as will others. A friend makes an important request. If you can, follow through. Tonight: Say what you feel to a dear friend.
HHHHH Jump right into the moment. Clear out a problem that has been hanging over you. Be sure you have balanced your checkbook and have the available funds to be frivolous and indulge in a special purchase. Tonight: Treat a friend to TGIF.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Dear Heloise: Working in a podiatrist’s office, I see people with foot problems all the time. It’s the one part of the body people seem to neglect the most. To help keep your feet feeling better, try a few of these: 1. Go barefoot or just in a pair of socks around the house. Let your feet breathe and stretch. 2. Walk. This is good for all parts of your body, but your feet need to be exercised. 3. Roll a tennis ball or golf ball around with the bottom of your foot for at least 15 minutes daily. 4. If you have foot pain, weight loss will usually help. 5. Be certain your shoes fit properly. So many people wear shoes that pinch, are too narrow or cause pain.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might need to take a strong stand with your career, an older person, and/or a boss. You have an excellent sense of timing. Use it to your benefit. The other party will think long and hard about what you say. Refuse to be clingy or needy. Tonight: Go for what you want. Jacqueline Bigar is on the internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com.
HHHHH You could not be happier to greet the weekend. You need and want a change of pace. Do not push yourself as hard to complete all of your work and get other matters under control. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.
Love your feet
A sick puppy

issues. The veterinarian said it was due to inbreeding and probably a sick mother dog. That breeder is nowhere to be found now! In the future, I’ll only get a pet from a shelter or the pound. — J.F. in Ohio
Dear Readers: We received a lot of mail about a recent letter related to DESTINATION WEDDINGS, and the following are some of the comments made. — Heloise “Destination weddings are hurtful to family members who cannot attend but wish they could help celebrate the happy day.” — An Old Auntie in Kentucky “To me, the answer is simple — ELOPE. You can have your Hawaiian wedding, and no one else has to come.” — Helen in Iowa “Why would someone want to get married but not have family and friends come to help celebrate the day? It seems selfish to me.” — Gail M. in Michigan
HHH Be aware that something might be going on with you or a close associate. It appears no one is sharing. You seem unusually optimistic, but decide to keep interactions on a one-on-one level, as you sense someone might be off-kilter. Tonight: Let your hair down.
HHHHH Return calls, then make your plans. You have a lot of choices, whether you choose to make them or not. Conversations seem to start up from nowhere, whether you’re sharing or because of the twinkle in your eye. Tonight: Favorite spot with a favorite person.

This year, you express more optimism than you have in many years. Your creativity soars, delighting many. If single, you attract several people with ease. With as many choices as you have, make sure to choose the appropriate person for yourself. Date a lot. If attached, the two of you will feel more complete than you have in years. You seem to have dropped a barrier. You might opt for a new addition to the family. Be careful if you do not want to create that reality. SAGITTARIUS makes you smile.
