Swan Lake fire flares up, again

Dunleavy to announce budget decisions Monday

Authorities identify 4 who died in Girdwood plane crash ANCHORAGE — Authorities have released the names of the four people killed when a small airplane slammed into a mountain near Girdwood earlier this month. Alaska State Troopers identified the victims Friday as 31-year-old Charles Weimer, 60-yearold David Osborn, 55-year-old Karl Erickson and 37-year-old Paul Wiley. All were Girdwood residents except for Wiley, who lived in Superior, Arizona. The four died Aug. 4 when the plane hit Goat Mountain at about 5,500 feet during a short sightseeing flight over the Girdwood valley. The National Transportation Safety Board says the wreckage was largely consumed by a post-crash fire. A witness told federal investigators he saw the Piper P22-150 airplane “performing aggressive flight maneuvers” shortly before it crashed. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

JUNEAU — Gov. Mike Dunleavy plans to announce his final decisions on the state budget Monday. Dunleavy’s office previously indicated a final announcement was expected this week. But his press office said Friday the review is continuing and an announcement is expected Monday. Lawmakers, unable to win support to override Dunleavy’s vetoes to a wide-swath of programs and institutions, passed legislation to restore many of the cuts. Dunleavy said this go-round he will not cut funding for certain early education and senior programs. He also moderated his position on cuts to the University of Alaska system, which he said was not related to a recall effort against him. The bill also includes a roughly $1,600 permanent fund dividend, less than Dunleavy has argued for.

A young volunteer chases three piglets — Mary Hamkins, Petunia and Sir Oinks-a-lot — through the race at Kenai Peninsula Fairgrounds during the pig races on Friday in Ninilchik. Spectators place bets on their favorite swine to win and the proceeds go to support the fair.

Living the fair life Pig races, fish throwing, live entertaintment and livestock auctions on display in Ninilchik By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

and Megan Pacer Homer News

Fair weather and fair fun were in abundance this weekend at the annual Kenai Peninsula Fair in Ninilchik. Families from all over the peninsula converged on the fairgrounds to enjoy live music, classic games like the egg throwing competition, classic-to-Alaska games like the fish throwing contest, and the ever popular 4-H Junior Market Livestock Auction. Participants in 4-H also showcased their talents in other ways not related to pigs, goats and cattle. The exhibit hall at the fairgrounds was filled to the brim this year with oneof-a-kind creations showcasing the talent of local youngsters and their love of Alaska. From handmade traditional Alaska Native mukluks, to miniature Lego replicas of the BB-8 android from the Star Wars film franchise, crafting skills of all kinds were on display. Another big crowd-pleaser was

the annual pig races. Businesses, including Alaska USA Credit Union, Diamond M Ranch and Matti’s Farm in Kenai, each sponsored a piglet. The animals race in two heats before a final showdown between the winners of those first two rounds. Spectators place bets on which swine they favor to win, and those who win get to take tokens to the Ninilchik Thrift and Gift to redeem for prizes. All proceeds from the pig races to go support the fair. This year’s first round of races featured a tight competition between a group of six piglets: Mary Hamkins, Petunia, Sir Oinks-a-lot, Lightning, Hamlet and Kevin Bacon. As the announcer noted between races, it’s “the largest baby pig race on the entire Kenai Peninsula.” Petunia came out victorious against the winner of the first heat, Hamlet, to take home the trophy in Friday’s first round of racing. The main event on Saturday was the 4-H Junior Market Livestock Auction, which featured pigs, cows, lambs, turkeys, geese and even a few pheasants raised over the last

year by about 40 kids from clubs across the peninsula. The animals were judged on Friday and each category had a grand champion and a reserve champion, which were the first to be sold off Saturday afternoon. The animals were mostly bought by local organizations and businesses, including the Soldotna Rotary Club, which buys the grand champion pig each year. This year’s grand champion pig was Chaos, raised by soon-to-be seventh grader Alekzander Angleton of Nikiski. Angleton is in his fourth year with the 4-H program and only his second year raising a pig for the auction. When asked how Chaos got his namesake, Angleton said that he was pretty wild as a piglet and was always causing trouble. As if to answer the question himself, Chaos knocked over his water bowl during Angleton’s interview. Despite his rebellious nature, Chaos drew a lot of compliments from this year’s judge, Rayne Reynolds, who told Angleton that the pig could easily be competitive on a national level.

ANCHORAGE — Alaska has been America’s canary in the coal mine for climate warming, and the yellow bird is swooning. July was Alaska’s warmest month ever, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Sea ice melted. Bering Sea fish swam in above-normal temperatures. So did children in the coastal town of Nome. Wildfire season started early and stayed late. Thousands of walruses thronged to shore. Unusual weather events like this could become more common with climate warming, said Brian Brettschneider, an associate climate researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ International Arctic Research Center. Alaska has seen “multiple decades-long increases” in temperature, he said.

“It becomes easier to have these unusual sets of conditions that now lead to records,” Brettschneider said. Alaska’s average temperature in July was 58.1 degrees. That’s 5.4 degrees above average and 0.8 degrees higher than the previous warmest month of July 2004, NOAA said. The effects were felt from the Arctic Ocean to the world’s largest temperate rainforest on Alaska’s Panhandle. Anchorage, the state’s largest city, on July 4 for the first time hit 90 degrees at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, 5 degrees higher than the city’s previous recorded high of 85 degrees. Sea ice off Alaska’s north and northwest shore and other Arctic regions retreated to the lowest level ever recorded for July, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado. Arctic sea ice for July set a record low of 2.9 million square miles. That was a South Carolina-size loss of

30,900 square miles below the previous record low July in 2012. Sea ice is the main habitat for polar bears and a resting platform for female walruses and their young. Several thousand walruses came to shore July 30, the first time they’ve been spotted in such large numbers before August. Effects were less obvious in the Bering Sea off Alaska’s west coast. Lyle Britt, a NOAA Fisheries biologist who oversees the agency’s annual Bering Sea groundfish survey, was on a trawler east of the island of Saint Matthew during the first week of July. “The temperature out there for us was in the high 70s,” Britt said. “On those boats, everything up there is designed to conserve heat, not vent heat. It was unbearably warm inside the boat.” On the ocean bottom, Britt’s crew for the second consecutive year

An effort by a group of Homer residents to close off a pedestrian easement running by their properties was shot down at a Monday planning commission meeting. On Aug. 12, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission narrowly voted 5-4 to not vacate about 830 feet of a section line easement near the homes on Dorothy Drive of Peter and Kathleen Zuyus, Richard Koskovich and musician Zac Brown, of the Zac Brown Band. The road is in a subdivision below East Skyline Drive. Parts of the section line were vacated in the 1990s, but a 20-foot-wide pedestrian easement was kept. The issue has been playing out at the state and borough level since the group of neighbors first sought to make Dorothy Drive a private road back in July 2018. The Department of Natural Resources did temporarily close a portion of the section line easement in May of this year, but then reversed the decision a month later in June after a Homer area citizen requested reconsideration. Brown and his neighbors originally filed a petition to vacate the section-line easement with the DNR. The department issued a preliminary decision supporting the easement vacation, but referred it to the borough for the planning commission’s input. Monday’s meeting brought scores of people to the borough’s assembly chambers. Dozens of people spoke to the issue — from homesteaders who say they use the easement to get to and from family and neighbor homes, to property rights activists from across the borough. The petitioners were seeking to vacate the easement, which sees pedestrian use, due to privacy and safety concerns. They also wanted to vacate the upper pedestrian easement that runs between the Koskovich and Brown properties. Brown was the first to offer public comment dur ing

Alaska records its warmest month ever; future records likely By DAN JOLING

Weeks after fire crews wrapped up their containment efforts, the Swan Lake Fire is growing again. According to the latest update from the Incident Management Team, the 102,906-acre fire has experienced substantial growth over the last few days. A cold front has moved in from the north and brought dry winds that are pushing smoke into Cooper Landing and the Kenai River corridor. The wind conditions also dried out fuels in areas near the Thurman Creek, Mystery Creek and Dike Creek drainages, leading to increased fire activity. These conditions have prompted managers of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge to close the Fuller Lakes and Skyline Trails. The Chugach National Forest

of raising a pig from birth ended up being a lot more time-consuming than she expected. “At one point I had five

baby pigs in my living room,” Rankin said. The kids responsible for raising the animals get to keep all the profits from

each sale, with one notable exception. Each year features a charity animal, and this year’s was a pig named Chancho raised

by Bailey Epperheimer of Nikiski. Epperheimer chose the Nikiski Children’s Fund to receive all of the revenue from

Chancho’s sale, a charity that provides resources to Nikiski students in need. This year’s auctioneers were Rayne Reynolds, Norm Blakely and Andy Kriner. All three had the high-speed auctioneer’s voice down to a science and managed to keep the crowd entertained by occasionally teasing the bidders into going for that extra 25 cents per pound. After each animal was successfully auctioned off, the audience also had a chance to “add on” by donating a little extra on top of the sale. Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski, donated $25 to every kid who showed an animal on Saturday. All told, the kids received thousands of dollars in sales and donations from the businesses and individuals doing the bidding. Peak Oilfield Service alone bought five pheasants, three turkeys and three pigs. The profits from the auctions are typically split between the cost of next year’s animals and savings accounts, but the kids are free to spend the money however they choose.

privacy and raise my kids in a safe place and provide a buffer around me to do that.” Brown is claiming a nearby neighbor sought to extort him, and has been advertising the section line easement near Brown’s home as a popular hiking trail. “Since I’ve been here I feel like I’m forced to give access to my property that I purchased,” Brown said. “I just need a safe place to raise my kids.” Many Homerites attended the late night meeting to speak in support of their trails. Randy Borland lives on Skyline Drive in Homer. He said he’s been using trails in

the area of the petitioner’s neighborhood his whole life. “My mom is known for walking up and down Skyline Drive,” Borland said. “When she was pregnant, she walked this trail to her family’s house. It’s no exaggeration to say I’ve been walking that trail my entire life.” Borland said he hopes the same trails will exist for his children to visit their grandparents, who homesteaded in the area. “Anyone saying this trail doesn’t exist is calling me a liar,” Borland said. During M o n d a y ’s meeting, Peter Zuyus emphasized the safety issue the pedestrian

easement presents to his neighborhood. “Why would we harass (Alaska State Trooper) services with multiple calls a day for trespassing and stalking?” Zuyus said during Monday’s meeting. “We don’t know who they are — innocent gawkers or drug dealers and criminals using our homes and casing it?” Jeanie Walker lives on the same section line easement brought into question at the commission meeting. She said she’s been walking the trail since 2003 when she and her husband moved to Homer. She objected to vacating the easement. “Perceived threat should not be used to curtail public

access. The petitioners chose to build their homes adjacent to a section line and very close to the road, on top of a corridor of trails used for decades,” Walker said. “I would also ask to not confuse trail hikers with gawking fans and persons with criminal intent, as petitioners seem to have done.” At Monday’s meeting, petitioner Koskovich said that when he purchased his land in the 1980s, the title showed no pedestrian easements in the area. “Had there been any, we certainly wouldn’t have bought up there,” Koskovich said. Local representatives were also in attendance, including Rep. Sarah Vance,

R-Homer, Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski, and Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Kenai/Soldotna. Micciche said he was speaking on the issue as a private citizen, and noted Brown was an acquaintance of his. While visiting Brown’s home last year, Micciche said he noticed the issue of gawkers looking for the celebrity’s home. “There is an issue,” Micciche said. “People are being harassed. While I was there, there were people looking, searching, hunting for Zac Brown. As Alaskans we have a constitutional expectation of privacy that I don’t believe he’s enjoying.” Reach Victoria Petersen at vpetersen@peninsulaclarion.com.

Angleton said that one of the trickiest parts of raising a pig is training them for the showmanship aspects of the auction and getting the pig to “respect the stick.” Angleton’s advice for any wouldbe pig farmers out there is to give them a bowling ball to root around with so their neck muscles are exercised, and put a step in front of their trough to strengthen their front shoulders. While Chaos may have won grand champion, he wasn’t the biggest pig in the pens. That title went to the Apocalypse, who came in at a remarkable 335 pounds and was raised from birth by Gracie Rankin. Rankin, also from Nikiski, said that this was her fifth year raising pigs but her first time raising one from birth rather than buying it as a piglet, which is more common. Rankin got two sows back in December, but unfortunately one of them died shortly after giving birth. Rankin said that she had to nurse Apocalypse by hand for a while, and the process

Monday’s meeting. He stressed the lack of privacy he’s been experiencing since moving to the Homer neighborhood. He said he purchased land around his home that was slated for development to help keep a natural buffer and increase privacy for himself and his neighbors. Throughout his history of owning property, Brown said he’s had people break into his home because of his profession. “I don’t really want attention unless I’m on a stage somewhere,” Brown said. “I’ve come here to have

found scant evidence of a “cold pool,” the east-west barrier of extremely cold, salty water that traditionally concentrates Pacific cod and walleye pollock, the species that make fast-food fish sandwiches, in the southeastern Bering Sea. Alaska’s wildfire season started in April. July’s dry and hot temperatures extended it. An expected rainy season marked by southwest winds pushing up moisture and soaking fires did not show up on time, said Tim Mowry, spokesman for the state Division of Forestry. “It extended our fire season through the month of July,” Mowry said. Alaska by mid-July can usually free up crews to fight fires in other states, but only about 15 people have left this year. High fire danger around Anchorage, the Kenai Peninsula and the MatanuskaSusitna Borough has kept crews in Alaska. “We’ve pretty much held on to all our resources in-state at this point,” Mowry said. A burn ban and water sprinkler restrictions remain in place for Haines, just

outside the Tongass National Forest. July extended a drought in the rainforest, said Rick Thoman, another climate expert at the International Arctic Research Center. Cities in the southern half of the rainforest have limited or no hydropower because of low water levels. That means power has to be generated by burning diesel fuel, Thoman said. July was the hottest month measured on Earth since records began in 1880, NOAA reported Thursday. And a United Nations report earlier this month warned that global warming threatens

food supplies around the world. But Alaska’s recent heat has had silver linings. Barley and other crops are ready to harvest, said Stephen Brown of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service. The growing season has been extended by a month, and if extra days become the norm, they will expand what can be grown in the state. Brown used heat radiated from his blacktop driveway to grow fruit not usually seen outside greenhouses. “I’ve got a bumper crop of

tomatoes and jalapenos this summer,” he said. On the other hand, the weather has stressed birch trees and left them vulnerable to leaf-eating insects. “That gives the leaf miners opportunity to really whack them good,” he said. “I’m looking at my lawn right now, and I need to rake leaves.” Brettschneider, the climate researcher, sees mostly negative effects from the hot July and climate warming. Alaska looks the way it does because of the temperature regime, he said, and in 50 years, Alaska may look like Idaho.

Woman killed, man injured in crash near Anchorage airport ANCHORAGE — A driver died and another was injured in a crash near Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. Anchorage police say a woman in a small car shortly after 3:30 p.m. Thursday was westbound on International Airport Road. She attempted a left turn onto Northwood Drive and was T-boned by a black Acura RSX traveling east at high speed. The crash pushed the first car into a pickup. The crash killed the woman making the left turn. The driver of the Acura was extricated and transported to a hospital. The pickup driver was not transported. Names of the drivers were not immediately released. Police are seeking additional witnesses in the case and asking for reports of the Acura being driven at high speed in west Anchorage before the crash.

River erosion threatens dieselfilled fuel tanks BETHEL — An Alaska school district has a plan for multiple diesel-filled fuel tanks bordering a river after erosion threatens an environmental disaster, officials said. The Lower Kuskokwim School District plans to transport fuel from a group of 10 tanks into three new tanks expected to be placed in the Napakiak school parking lot further inland, KYUK-AM reported Friday.

Action is expected to begin in the spring following the Kuskokwim River’s annual freeze, but fall storms are likely before then, officials said. The tanks sit less than 150 feet from the river and currently hold 34,000 gallons of diesel, school officials said. “We will do our absolute best. We just simply can’t have that level of disaster take place,” LKSD Superintendent Dan Walker said. The school district is responsible for the tanks and the school they service adjacent to them, so the community has been unable to take action, officials said. The plan calls for tanks that do not have the same capacity to store as much diesel, and with less fuel the hope is the tanks are less likely to spill, school officials said. Additional plans included putting up barriers, but the school district is prohibited from spending money on non-school property and community efforts with sandbags failed, officials said. The Napakiak community about 15 miles southwest of Bethel has moved various buildings further inland, officials said. Accelerated erosion has been responsible for more than 100 feet of lost shoreline this year.

told The Associated Press that all the stranded passengers were back at the park entrance by midnight. “Our team did an outstanding job responding to multiple debris slides along a pretty remote section of road,” said Erika Jostad, Denali’s chief ranger. “The geohazard team monitored conditions while the road crew was clearing debris. It was a great example of teamwork.” Earlier Friday, Denali’s superintendent closed Denali Park Road to all traffic at mile 30. Similar debris flows led to daylong traffic restrictions last week. Continued heavy rains since kept the road and surrounding tundra saturated with water. Also on Friday, the Alaska Railroad said in a release that it has halted service north of the park because heavy rainfall had caused erosion below a retaining wall. Passenger and freight service will be suspended through the area until late Monday at the earliest, the railroad said in a statement. The railroad added that passengers traveling north to or south from Denali Park on the Alaska Railroad or on an Alaska Railroad provided service through Holland America/Princess or Premier Alaska Tours should expect delays.

Aircraft will continue to drop water on an area of heat north of Upper Jean Lake and in an area northwest of Fuller Lakes. Aircraft working in these areas will be visible from the road, and motorists in the area are asked to

son and McBeath’s family. Krauss graduated from the University of Chicago in 1953 at age 18 and attended Western Reserve University, studying Romance languages. He earned a master’s degree from Columbia University and a doctorate from Harvard for his work with Gaelic. Krauss moved to Alaska in 1960 and took a job teaching French, though he was not very interested in French, said Gary Holton, former director of the archive and now a professor of linguistics for the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Krauss was interested in Alaska Native languages and began to focus on the last six people fluent in Eyak, a language spoken in southcentral Alaska. “He at the time in 1961 pretty much decided to focus his career on documenting everything that could be known of those last six speakers of Eyak,” Holton said. Eyak lost its last surviving speaker in 2008 but Krauss continued his work in preserving the language. “As he got older, I’d say you know his physical energy decreased, but his zeal for what he was doing kind of remained the same,” Isaac Krauss said. Last week during Eyak Culture Camp, dedicated to preserving and revitalizing Eyak, Krauss spoke by phone to participants, Holton said.

can light up or eat edible pot products on the site within a few weeks or as much as a year, city officials said. The Fairbanks City Council voted unanimously Monday to waive any protest of the proposal allowing onsite consumption at The Fairbanks Cut after the cannabis retailer receives its occupancy certificate, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Thursday. A certificate for occupancy could take anywhere from several weeks to a year, city officials said. If approved, the dispensary’s onsite consumption area would be open from 5 p.m. to midnight weekdays and from 12 p.m. to midnight Saturdays. The Marijuana Control Board rejected the onsite use proposal last month after disagreements over the meaning of freestanding building but is expected to reconsider it in coming months, city officials said. The Fairbanks Cut shares a building with its landlord, but does not share a wall or airspace with any other occupants. The control board should have established rules saying that marijuana outlets wanting to allow customers to consume had to be in their own buildings if members had wanted such a requirement, said Fairbanks Cut owner Lily Bosshart. “If they had wanted sole occupancy, they could have easily put that in the regulations,” she said. Bosshart must submit an appeal to have the proposal considered by the control board and said she expects to have all of the paperwork ready by November.

Michael Krauss, Alaska linguistics expert, dead at 84 FAIRBANKS — A linguist renowned for his work with Alaska Native languages has died. Michael Krauss died Sunday, a few days before his 85th birthday, the Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported. A son, Isaac Krauss, confirmed his father’s death. Krauss documented conversations with the last surviving speakers of Eyak, advocated for preserving endangered languages and created a map of Alaska Native languages. He was a professor emeritus at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Krauss founded the Alaska Native Language Center in 1972 and the university named its Alaska Native Language Archive, a component of the center, for him. “His sort of skill repertoire, his tool kit with regards to the practical, applied as well to the theory of language, was vast,” said Jerry McBeath, emeritus professor at the same university. McBeath praised Krauss’ intellect and compassion. “He was a very generous person, an excellent friend and a person who had grown beyond his discipline,” he said, citing Krauss’ love of music and how played in barbershop quartets with his

As students of life, we should all support teachers, learning Robert Summer is absolutely right in his article entitled “For the sake of our students, let’s all do our jobs,” in Friday’s Clarion. At least, I believe he is correct and I am the first to admit bias. I am a student with 87 years of experience and learnings and looking forward to a part of my 13-year plan to keep on learning. The story continues to be written every day and, as John Maxwell said, “Today matters.” My point is, I believe we are all students that go through life learning, and therefore it is in all of our interests to consider and determine what is in our best interests. Then act in ways that will ensure our interests are best fulfilled for all of us. Assuming that the school district is the best sole determinant for students futures and teachers do not have a role in determining what is right for our future is, I believe, wrong. This seems to be a major problem in many school districts all over our country. At least six states have had major corrections in their teacher relations over the last three or four years. I believe that teachers are learning to stand up for their interests as well as their students, and that school districts need to learn as well to support their teachers better. Our world will be a better place when it happens and we will be working collaboratively, not quarreling. Contracts would be settled, signed and students would be learning.

t’s August and that means the silvers are running, berries are ripe, and our D.C. senators are back in state on recess. Alaskans may have the chance to pull them aside at a farmers’ market, on the river, or on a flight, and if they do, I hope many of us will raise the faulty review process for the Pebble mine and ask what they are doing to fix it. The state and federal scientists and agency experts have raised substantial issues with the assessment of the proposed Pebble mine coordinated by the Army Corps of Engineers. Thousands of Alaskans voiced their concerns. Sen. Lisa Murkowski recently acknowledged that the Corps’ Draft Environmental Impact Statement has “failed to meet my standard of a robust and rigorous process.” I commend our leaders for being more vocal on this issue, as well as their commitment on keeping Alaska open for business. I am proud that, in many places, we have proven we can develop without harm to the land and water. But the alarm bells are ringing on the Pebble mine proposal. As an Alaskan whose family businesses rely on Bristol Bay’s wild salmon, I am extremely concerned that these red flags are being ignored. We need action from our elected officials that addresses these warning signs — our responsible resource development reputation, as well as thousands of Alaska jobs and a world-class hunting and fishing region are on the line. The proposed Pebble mine is unlike

other resource development projects and it is far from responsible. It is located in the heart of a landscape that already supports thriving industries. It will create massive amounts of waste, far greater than anything the state has ever seen before. The ore body, according to Pebble’s own data, is very likely to produce acid generating waste, toxic to salmon. On top of that the Pebble Partnership has uniquely been allowed to rely on outdated baseline data; not study many of the salmon streams that will be impacted; and not submit key details for mine construction, operations, mitigation, or water management. This corner-cutting is the opposite of what Bristol Bay demands and what other companies have committed to doing. These shortcomings were recently called out. Several agencies stated that the draft EIS formed unsubstantiated conclusions and lacked data, which means the actual risks of the proposed Pebble mine are being downplayed. The State of Alaska, the Department of the Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency all agree that Pebble’s permit lacks precision and critical analysis. Those who defend the strength of our permit review process are right: it is normally a benchmark for smart, responsible development. However, the permit review process only works when a project backer provides a realistic and detailed application, and the permit reviewers make sure that all the required information has been

provided. Neither of these things happened. While this process has played out dependably for other projects in the past, it has not in the case of Pebble. If you put garbage in, you get garbage out. How do we change this? Our leaders must hold the Corps and the Pebble Partnership accountable. It was good to see both senators acknowledge gaps highlighted by the EPA, but it’s extremely frustrating that our leaders have not actively pursued fixes to the gaps in this review. It’s even more frustrating to see Gov. Mike Dunleavy actively supporting a mine that most Alaskans oppose. Alaskans from across the political spectrum have voiced concerns about the Pebble mine and its risk to thousands of fish-based jobs. If the permitting process continues in its current form, it will be at the expense of Alaskans and our economy for the benefit of a foreign entity and a select few. The Corps’ process must analyze the full risks of the project. Anything short of this is not rigorous, a waste of public resources, and it is not enough. It’s far past time our federal regulators and our elected officials to step in and put a halt to this permit process. It’s failing Alaskans; we demand better.

District’s health insurance proposal unaffordable to many I am tired of seeing only part of the information about the school district negotiations reported in the news. There is a reason the teachers and school employees negotiation teams said no to the school district’s proposed health care plan. Plan B had an individual deductible of $2,500 and family deductible of $5,000. On top of that, the school district wanted to begin to have a $1,500 individual, $3,000 family, prescription deduction. The cost of this plan to employees was $402 a month for nine-month employees, which is most of the employees. Plan C had a $3,000 individual deduction and $6,000 family deductible. With the same prescription deductible as Plan B. All this for a cost of $418 a month for nine-month employees. This is the same health care plan that Fairbanks school employees receive for $0. For most of the lowest paid employees, and perhaps many others, the high deductibles were too high and would cause people to not use their health care benefits. What good is health care that you can not afford to use?

Gun control advocates call for new gun laws at rallies Associated Press

Gun control advocates rallied around the country on Saturday, seeking to pressure Congress to tighten the nation's gun laws after the recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, Dayton, Ohio and Northern California. Demonstrators in Providence, Rhode Island, where several dozen people gathered. Some held signs that said, "Disarm Hate," ''Enough" and "No One Needs a Weapon of War at Home." In Baltimore, activists organized a march. Protesters in Charleston, West Virginia, carried signs that called for changing Congress if it didn't change gun laws. Demonstrators also gathered in front of City Hall in San Francisco. The group, Everytown for Gun Safety, announced recently that it planned to hold rallies over the weekend in every state. The group is demanding a strong federal "red flag" bill

to allow seizure of weapons in certain cases and legislation requiring background checks on all gun sales. Congress is on summer recess, but Republican Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell has asked committee chairmen to review possible gun bills for consideration when lawmakers return in September. Democrats on the House Judiciar y Committe e announced Friday that they will be returning early to consider other gun-violence legislation. The House has already approved legislation bolstering background checks for gun purchases. The gunmen in El Paso and Dayton killed a total of 31 people in back-to-back weekend shootings in early August that stunned the nation and revived calls to tighten access to firearms. Those shootings came days after another gunman opened fire at a festival in Gilroy, California, killing three people.

Alaskans deserve a budget that reflects our values

s the Legislature and the governor wrestle with assuring an affordable and sustainable budget, Alaskans are being forced to decide what we, as a society, value. It’s not surprising that good people disagree. In these past weeks, Alaskans have spoken loudly and clearly about the programs and services they value, causing the governor to re-examine his vetoes. In our own lives, we pay for what we value: electricity, school supplies, winter boots, cell service. Deciding what we value — and how to pay for it — in our very diverse, unique, and vast state is the heart of what legislators and the governor must do every year. We’re sometimes told that government is “bloated.” Or, we hear anger and resentment toward “government” in general. So, it’s important to step back and look at what government is and what it does. In reality, “government” is mostly an array of public services delivered for Alaskans by Alaskans. These services are an expression of what we, the people, have collectively deemed worthy to provide for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. Whether it’s the school custodian, driver’s license examiner, child protection worker, prosecutor, fisheries biologist, water quality specialist, or corrections officer, it’s a public service. And, government is citizens like me and hundreds and hundreds of other everyday Alaskans, in the Legislature or on assemblies or school boards across the state, elected to conduct the public’s business and to assure critical

services. Citizens wrote the Alaska Constitution, which requires state government to provide education, health, and welfare, all of which are more expensive in a high cost of living state with few concentrated population centers. Those citizen delegates decided that Alaska must manage its vast public resources, such as oil, gas, and fisheries. And, those same citizens determined that our new state would be responsible for services typically provided by counties, such as courts, jails, child support, juvenile justice, roads, ferries, public safety, medical examiners, and airports. (In fact, Alaska is the largest operator of airports in the world.) I think it’s worth noting here that a 2017 state analysis demonstrated that once “Alaska-unique” obligations and programs are accounted for, per capita state spending is within a few percentage points of the national average. Despite the state’s extensive responsibilities, state jobs and departments have shrunk in the past four years since oil prices dropped. While the total state budget is higher than last year due to increased federal contributions (mostly for Alaskans’ health care coverage), overall state general fund spending for agencies, the university, Legislature, and judiciary actually dropped by more than $1.5 billion or 25% since 2015. Since the per-barrel price of Alaska’s crude plummeted by more than half (landing at $49 per barrel in January 2015, after being at or above $100 per barrel for nearly four years), 2,900 state jobs have been eliminated (about 11% of the work force); university positions

have dropped by 17%. Can state government be downsized further? Yes, and it will. Can state government be made more efficient and effective? Yes, and it should. Agencies and the Legislature must be diligent in seeking efficiencies and implementing savings. But we must also be vigilant to not be penny-wise and pound-foolish, harming our future generations and the future of our state for short-term savings. In this process, we also must be vigilant to not upend Alaska’s fragile economic recovery. Surely, a stable economy is at the top of our collective values list. Local chambers of commerce, banks, and economic development corporations have warned about the damage of sudden, big cuts. Business values stability. As legislators, we must, as well. And, like a business, we must take care of our assets and protect our investments in order to support our core mission, as well as what we value — including the Alaska Permanent Fund, the permanent fund dividend, and public services — for the long haul. We are in a great debate about the future of our state. Tough decisions require digging deeply to evaluate spending and to ensure that funding is directed at that which, collectively, Alaskans value. And, we must remember: state spending, for the greater part, is an investment in Alaska’s economy, its people, and our future. Rep. Andrea “Andi” Story is a freshman legislator from Juneau, representing House District 34.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Police arrested at least 13 people and seized metal poles, bear spray and other weapons Saturday as hundreds of far-right protesters and anti-fascist counter-demonstrators swarmed downtown Portland, Oregon. Authorities closed bridges and streets to try to keep the rival groups apart. The city’s mayor said the situation was “potentially dangerous and volatile,” and President Donald Trump tweeted “Portland is being watched very closely.” As of early afternoon, most of the right-wing groups had left the area via a downtown bridge. Police used officers on bikes and in riot gear to

keep black-clad, helmet- and mask-wearing anti-fascist protesters — known as antifa — from following them. But hundreds of people remained downtown and on nearby streets, and there were skirmishes throughout the day. Police declared a gathering of mostly left-wing protesters near Pioneer Courthouse Square a “civil disturbance” and told people to leave. One person was injured and transported via ambulance, and three other people were evaluated by medics, Portland

Police spokeswoman Lt. Tina Jones said. The injuries were minor, she said. Jones said at one point there were about 1,200 on the streets, but that number had fallen to about 400 late in the afternoon. The events began late in the morning. Flag-waving members of the Proud Boys — who have been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center — Three Percenters militia group and others gathered downtown, some also wearing body armor and helmets. Police said they

had seized the weapons, including shields, from multiple groups as they assembled along the Willamette River, which runs through the city. Portland Police said all of the city’s 1,000 officers would be on duty for the gathering that was hyped on social media and elsewhere for weeks. In the days leading up to the event, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said people who espoused hate or engaged in violence were “not welcome.” In a Saturday morning tweet, Trump wrote: “Hopefully the Mayor will be able to properly do his job.” He also wrote that “major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an ‘ORGANIZATION of TERROR.’” But it wasn’t immediately clear what he meant by that as there’s no mechanism for the United States government to declare a domestic organization a terror group. The State Department maintains a list of designated foreign terrorist organizations, such as al Qaida, but there’s no comparable designation or list for American groups.

Dozens dead or hurt in Afghan wedding party blast KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide-bomb blast ripped through a wedding party on a busy Saturday night in Afghanistan’s capital and dozens of people were killed or wounded, a government official said. More than 1,000 people had been invited, one witness said, as fears grew that it could be the deadliest attack in Kabul this year. Interior Ministry spokesman Nusrat Rahimi told The Associated Press the attacker set off explosives among the wedding participants. Both the Taliban and a local affiliate of the Islamic State group carry out bloody attacks in the capital. The blast occurred near the stage where musicians were and “all the youths, children and all the people who were there were killed,” witness Gul Mohammad said. One of the wounded, Mohammad Toofan, said that “a lot of guests were martyred.” Officials were not expected to release a toll until daytime Sunday.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 18, 1963, James Meredith became the first black student to graduate from the University of Mississippi. On this date: In 1587, Virginia Dare became the first child of English parents to be born in present-day America, on what is now Roanoke Island in North Carolina. (However, the Roanoke colony ended up mysteriously disappearing.) In 1862, Dakota Indians began an uprising in Minnesota (the revolt was crushed by U.S. forces some six weeks later). In 1894, Congress established the Bureau of Immigration. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued his Proclamation of Neutrality, aimed at keeping the United States out of World War I. In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing all American women’s right to vote, was ratified as Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it. In 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, New York, wound to a close after three nights with a midmorning set by Jimi Hendrix. In 1976, two U.S. Army officers were killed in Korea’s demilitarized zone as a group of North Korean soldiers wielding axes and metal pikes attacked U.S. and South Korean soldiers. In 1983, Hurricane Alicia slammed into the Texas coast, leaving 21 dead and causing more than a billion dollars’ worth of damage. In 1993, a judge in Sarasota, Fla., ruled that Kimberly Mays, the 14-year-old girl who had been switched at birth with another baby, need never again see her biological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, in accordance with her stated wishes. (However, Kimberly later moved in with the Twiggs.) In 1995, Shannon Faulkner, who’d won a 2 1/2-year legal battle to become the first female cadet at The Citadel, quit the South Carolina military college after less than a week, most of it spent in the infirmary. In 2004, in Athens, Paul Hamm (hahm) won the men’s gymnastics all-around Olympic gold medal by the closest margin ever in the event; controversy followed after it was discovered a scoring error cost Yang Tae-young of South Korea the title. In 2017, Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump’s top White House strategist, was forced out of his post by Trump; Bannon returned immediately as executive chairman to Breitbart News, which he led before joining Trump’s campaign. Ten years ago: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak (HOHS’-nee moo-BAH’-rahk), during his first visit to Washington in five years, offered lavish praise for President Barack Obama; for his part, Obama spoke of an “extraordinary opportunity” for making peace in the Middle East. Robert Novak, the combative TV and newspaper pundit, died in Washington, D.C., at 78. Former South Korean President and Nobel Peace laureate Kim Dae-jung (kihm day-joong) died in Seoul. Five years ago: Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon ordered the National Guard to Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis convulsed by protests over the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen. Former Vermont U.S. Sen. James Jeffords, who in 2001 tipped control of the Senate when he quit the Republican Party to become an independent, died in Washington; he was 80. Don Pardo, 96, a durable radio and television announcer known for his introductions with a booming baritone on “Saturday Night Live” and other shows, died in Tucson, Arizona. One year ago: Kofi Annan (KOH’-fee AN’-nan), the first black African to become United Nations secretary-general, died at the age of 80.

Then the musicians cross the street and play “Amor Eterno ” — the 1984 ballad by the late-Juan Gabriel that has become an anthem of sorts of the city in the days after the shooting. “How I wish that you still lived, that your precious eyes had never closed, so that I could see them now,” the translated lyrics go.

EL PASO, Texas — Thousands of strangers came to say goodbye to a woman who was killed in a mass shooting in El Paso after hearing her longtime companion had few family members left. Antonio Basco had told reporters he felt alone in planning the funeral for Margie Reckard, one of 22 people killed when a gunman opened fire at a Walmart on Aug. 3. Basco had almost no family left, so he invited the world to join him in remembering his companion of 22 years. He thought he might get a few well-wishers from El Paso. Then, the flowers started coming in. Then, the funeral home had to change venues. People came from California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and across the border in Mexico. They stood in line for hours Friday for Reckard’s funeral, then patiently waited Saturday in sweltering temperatures as Basco buried her. Few of those in attendance had ever met Reckard, but almost all said the suffering city — and the nation — needed to see how to rally

“In the military, we have this saying: ‘We don’t leave people behind,’” said Brown, a veteran. “It didn’t matter where I was. I knew I was going to come here today.” He got into town, stood in line for hours to pay his respects and planned on driving all night back home for a child’s soccer practice. But he paused for a moment to look at the crowd of strangers who had created a line that wrapped around the block and into the city’s Manhattan Heights Historic District. “This is amazing,” said Brown, a contractor. “This is El Paso, bro,” Jerry Medina, 42, of El Paso, wearing a black and red zoot suit, said when asked about the crowd. He brushed off the 100-degree temperatures and wore a similar suit the next day to the burial. “I really felt for that guy,” Medina said. “Our love is for him. Hopefully, he gets through this.” Isabel Regalado, 27, held her 10-month-old boy,

SoHi gets revenge, rolls past West Seward opens up with dramatic, overtime loss to Monroe Catholic Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The bad memories of last year’s season-opening loss are now a distant memory for the Soldotna Stars football program, which romped its way to a 49-6 win over the West Eagles on Friday night at West Anchorage High School in nonconference play. The Stars pulled out a 21-0 lead in the first quarter and led 35-0 at

halftime, then forced a running clock in the fourth quarter to secure the team’s 10th straight win, dating back to last year. SoHi, a Division II school, had its 59-game state-record win streak busted last year in Week 1 with a heartbreaking 18-13 loss to West, a Division I school, on a last-second touchdown. SoHi made sure not to let that happen again, as the Stars beat the Eagles for the third time in four

years. The two teams have played each other in the season opener for four years running. “The kids certainly were not lacking any motivation after what happened last year,” said SoHi head coach Galen Brantley Jr. “It was the only defeat our kids have tasted, so for them to come back and make a statement in this game, I’m happy. They deserve it. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into each practice and workout this summer.”

Soldotna’s relentless run game had a big night with over 300 rushing yards, most of that in the first half. SoHi outgained West in total offense 282-92 by halftime. Brantley Jr. said the effort was a show in determination as the team pursues its eighth straight state title. “The kids know they can’t get complacent,” he said. “They have to work their tails off all year long.” Starting quarterback Jersey Truesdell got his senior campaign

off to a hot start with four touchdown runs, including three in the first half, and a passing TD to fellow senior Galen Brantley III. Seniors Hudson Metcalf and Aaron Faletoi also scored on touchdown runs. Brantley had five catches for around 80 yards and a touchdown. But it was the SoHi defense that pulled off a masterpiece, snagging four interceptions, including three See roll, Page B2

successful extra point. His next kick was less successful when, less than a minute later, Homer quarterback Anthony Kalugin caught and ran Pitsch’s kickoff straight back down the field for a 77-yard return and a touchdown of his own, putting the Mariners on the board. Homer trailed 14-6 at halftime. A scoreless third quarter gave way to a fourth filled with action. Vann made a touchdown on a 65-yard run about four minutes into the quarter, only to be answered by Homer running back Antonin Maruchev, who caught the next

WASILLA — During their first three meetings with Nikiski, the Redington Huskies were outscored a combined 114-6 in a trio of losses to the Bulldogs. Friday, the Huskies used a monster second half to flip the script in the nonconference matchup of Division III teams. Redington scored 24 unanswered points during the final two quarters and posted a 30-12 win over the Bulldogs at Redington Jr./Sr. High School. “They had a good first half. The second half was ours,” Redington head coach Matt Weinberger said after the win. Sophomore quarterback Wayde Bowman threw three touchdown passes and ran for another to help the fourthyear program beat Nikiski for the first time in four varsity meetings. Weinberger said scoring that type of win over a Nikiski program that has had a solid amount of success against the Huskies is a great way for his team to start the 2019. “That was big for us,” Weinberger said. Weinberger also praised his team’s play during the second half. In past years, Weinberger said, the Huskies would typically run into trouble during the final two quarters. But despite trailing 12-6 at the break, the Huskies put together a big second half. “The team responded really well,” Weinberger said. Sophomore Ja d e n

Kardinals romp past improved Homer By Megan Pacer Homer News

The Kenai Central football team has once again established itself as one of the teams to beat on the Kenai Peninsula, though the Kards are not in the Peninsula Conference, with a 28-14 win over host Homer on Saturday. The Kardinals, in the Division II Northern Lights Conference, won a hard-earned victory against the Division III, Peninsula Conference Mariners. Kenai head coach Dustin Akana cautioned other Division III programs on the strength of Homer, touting the playcalling of Homer

head coach Justin Zank, who made his debut as Mariners coach Saturday. “Homer is a very good team,” Akana said. “They’re totally different from last year, the new head coach has done a really good job with the program. They came out and played a really good game.” Kenai dominated the day on the ground, racking up 344 rushing yards to Homer’s 161. The Kards were led by the duo of senior Zach Burnett and junior Tucker Vann. Vann led the way with 162 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown, while Burnett had 140 rush yards on 11 carries and a score. “That just shows the type of players

they are,” Akana said. “They just trust in their teammates, trust in the play calls. They hit their holes today. “This was a learning game. It wasn’t a perfect game, we made a lot of mistakes but we finished on top.” Kenai was the first to put points on the board with a minute left in the first quarter when Joey Sylvester caught a pass from quarterback Kayden Daniels and ran it 32 yards for score. Kicker Braedon Pitsch’s extra point brought the Kards to an early 7-0 lead. Pitsch then notched the team’s second touchdown about five minutes into the second quarter by taking a pass from Daniels for a 23-yard run before kicking a second

Sizzling 61 puts Thomas out in front By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer

MEDINAH, Ill. — Winless over the last 12 months, Justin Thomas knew he was playing well and he was due for a low round. Saturday at the BMW Championship was more than he might have imagined. Thomas smashed the course record at Medinah with an 11-under 61 that gave him a six-shot lead over Patrick Cantlay and Tony Finau. He opened with five birdies, and none was worthy of a highlight reel because of what followed. He hit a 5-wood from 260 yards on the par-5 10th that was so pure he twirled his club and watched it roll out to 2 feet. That wasn’t among the top three memories Saturday. “I’m very lucky that I had a couple to choose from today,” Thomas said.

In fluffy grass behind the 14th green, he chipped in for birdie. From 180 yards in the 16th fairway, he holed out for eagle. His felt his best shot was the next hole, a 9-iron from forward tees to a front pin over the water to 6 feet for his eighth birdie of a remarkable round. “It was easy to get pretty wrapped up in the emotions and get the adrenaline going and I had to take a little bit off that 9-iron,” Thomas said. “If I’m trying to be perfect there and I don’t hit it right, that very easily could go in the water.” Thomas was at 21-under 195, with Finau (68) and Cantlay (67) chasing him. He has a clear path to his first victory since the Bridgestone Invitational last August, along with the lead going into the Tour Championship next week and the chase for a $15 million prize. Only seven players in

PGA Tour history have lost a six-shot lead in the final round, most recently Dustin Johnson at the 2017 HSBC Champions. The goal for Tiger Woods is simply to get to the Tour Championship, where last year he ended five years without winning. Woods had a bogey-free 67, his lowest score since the final round of the Memorial. When Medinah is this much of a pushover, it didn’t help all that much. He was tied for 31st, with some 18 players ahead of where he needs to be to move into the top 30 in the FedEx Cup and advance to East Lake. “I shoot 60, it should be all right,” Woods said, a tonguein-cheek comment made about the time Thomas was teeing off. Thomas, who shot 59 at the Sony Open in 2017, opened with a pair of 12-foot birdie putts, hit to 2 feet on No. 3, holed a 15-footer on No. 4

and was out of position only briefly before a fifth straight birdie on the par-5 fifth. But it was the back nine where Thomas seized control. “I’ve been around enough. That was really impressive,” said Finau, who played with Thomas. “It’s fun to watch. Whenever you see a guy playing that well in a zone, really cool. He was already playing well and that shot on 16 put him over the top from well to ... really well.” Finau holed out from the fourth fairway for eagle. Cantlay had five birdies. Brandt Snedeker chipped in on both par 3s on the back nine in his round of 67. L o w s c o re s w e re everywhere. Medinah never looked more vulnerable. “It doesn’t matter what golf course it is,” Thomas said. “You give us soft, good greens and soft fairways, we’re going to tear it apart. It’s just how it is.”

Kahakauwila leads Morgan tourney Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

Chris Morin will have to overcome four players if he wants to win his fifth Donald R. Morgan Club Championship in six years at Kenai Golf Course. Battling windy conditions, Morin fired a 12-overpar 84 on Saturday in the first round of the twoday tournament, which concludes Sunday. Charlie Kahakauwila leads the event with his first round of 80, while Tom Reese and Dave Litchfield are tied for second at 82 and Rene Alvarez is in fourth at 83. The tournament actually has three divisions — ladies, men’s and senior.

The ladies division features a close fight between Lara Griffin and Mariane Hyman. Hyman had a gross 97 and net 68 on the first day, while Griffin is at 100 and 76. In the men’s division, Morin is at 84 and 78, while Andrew Reed is at 97 and 86. The seniors have a much more extensive field, with Kahakauwila at 80 and 68, Reese at 82 and 69, Litchfield at 82 and 71 and Alvarez at 83 and 70. Also, Mike Kebschull and Pat Bowen are tied at 87 and 70, Chuck Ruppenthal is at 88 and 73, Bill Davis is at 90 and 79, Bobby Bush is at 93 and 78, Kirk Hyman is at 95 and 82, and John Gibson is at 113 and 95.

Miocic stops Cormier, takes back UFC belt ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Stipe Miocic waited over a year to face Daniel Cormier again, and his plan for the rematch didn’t start to work until they were deep in the fourth round. That’s when the patient, determined firefighter from Cleveland finally got his revenge — and suddenly reclaimed his UFC heavyweight title. Miocic stopped Cormier with a barrage of punches in the fourth, taking back his championship belt with a comeback victory at UFC 241 on Saturday night. Miocic (19-3) lost the first two rounds on every judge’s scorecard in his rematch with the 40-year-old Cormier (22-2). After making some progress in the third, Miocic steadily came forward through Cormier’s blows in

the fourth and finally hurt the champion with a punch to the body. Miocic then landed several powerhouse right hands to Cormier’s head, buckling his knees and eventually forcing referee Herb Dean to stop the fight with 51 seconds left in the fourth round. The 6-foot-5 behemoth leaped onto the wall of the cage and celebrated with fans still stunned by the fight’s sudden turn. “I saw some weakness in that third round,” Miocic said. “And then in that fourth round, I caught him with that right hand. Thank God, because he’s tough.” Nate Diaz also returned from a three-year hiatus with a dominant decision victory over Anthony Pettis at Honda Center, but he was upstaged by the remarkable redemption of Miocic.

holding the usually potent West offense back all night was a product of solid execution of a great game plan from assistant coaches Eric Pomerleau, Phil Leck, Sarge Truesdell, Adam Byrnes and others. “Holding a school like West to six points, we couldn’t be happier with the defensive effort,” he said. “Credit goes to the defensive coaches … all those guys did a tremendous job of putting a game plan together and executing it.” The Stars stopped the Eagles on their first four possessions with two punts and two interceptions, and responded with scoring drives on offense to stake out a 28-0 lead by the second quarter. Metcalf opened the game with the first scoring play of the season, a 4-yard run up the middle just four minutes in. Truesdell found the end zone for the first time with 5:57 left in the first quarter, pulling off a QB sneak and ripping off 36 yards to push the lead to 14-0. Medcoff got the ball back for SoHi on the next Eagles possession with a leaping interception for a 20-yard return, setting the Stars up at the West 44-yard line with 4:09 left in the first quarter. After West eventually began to make headway with a couple of first downs, Truesdell got in on the interception streak with a pick on SoHi’s own 10-yard line to end the first quarter.

Faletoi with 1:06 left in the second pushed the lead to 35. In the second half, Brantley III made a highlight catch for 39 yards that brought the ball to the 1-yard line, and Truesdell finished it off with a run up the middle for his fourth score of the day. West eventually got on the board with 4:51 left in the third quarter with backup QB Benni Collins under center. The sophomore Collins found senior Pulefano Sotoa in the endzone on an 11-yard pass.

Monroe 44, Seward 38, OT The Monroe Rams held off the Seahawks Friday evening in overtime after Seward rallied from a 24-point deficit in the second half in a nonconference matchup of a pair of Division III schools. Seward led 14-0 early before Monroe came back with a pair of touchdown scores and a 41-yard field goal to take a 17-14 lead into halftime. The Rams continued to apply the pressure with three touchdowns in the second half, pushing the lead to 38-14. But the Seward defense began to crack down and forced Monroe into mistakes, including a fourth-down stop, a forced fumble and a blocked punt that allowed the Seahawks to cut the lead down. Seward head coach Kelly Cinereski said his entire backfield all tallied TDs, as

Hamlin robs DiBenedetto of breakthrough victory By Jenna Fryer AP Racing Writer

The crowd roared its support as DiBenedetto’s interview was broadcast on the infield big screen. Roughly 45 minutes later, DiBenedetto found Hamlin on the NBC Sports set and interrupted his interview. The two hugged, and Hamlin pulled DiBenedetto close and whispered into his ear for a long moment. He remained apologetic for spoiling what would have been a defining moment for DiBenedetto, as well as Wheeler, Hamlin’s former crew chief. “It is the worst person possible to have to pass with eight to go. My history with Mike Wheeler ... Matt is a fantastic driver,” Hamlin said. “I have no doubt he’s going to land on his feet, something better, and if he doesn’t, all you car owners are idiots. Someone with that much talent deserves to be racing for wins on a regular basis.” Hamlin and DiBenedetto raced side by side for several laps before Hamlin completed the decisive late pass and sealed his fourth victory of the season.

DiBenedetto was a careerbest second. Hamlin got over his initial disappointment for DiBenedetto and praised his No. 11 team for its resilient race and the way he picked his way through traffic to reclaim the lead. “Between my spotter and the crew chief, just stayed on me to not get anxious, just kind of take my time. I had plenty of time,” Hamlin said. “I just worked him over, worked him over. I knew I didn’t want to show him the bottom (lane) until I knew I could make the pass. I ran the top, ran the top, ran the top, got the position on the bottom and finished it. “We had a great car that could move around. Came back from a couple laps down and here we are.” DiBenedetto’s fight to hang on to the victory was hampered when he encountered Ryan Newman, a driver trying to make the playoffs. Newman refused to give an inch as DiBenedetto tried to put him down a lap, and contact between the two cars caused DiBenedetto’s Toyota

to tighten up as Hamlin closed the gap. A DiBenedetto victory would have dramatically changed the playoff picture. There are two races remaining to set the 16-driver field and only nine drivers have locked in their spots. With seven open, a first-time winner would have grabbed a coveted spot. Johnson has never missed the playoffs since the format began in 2004 but the seventime champion dropped to 18th in points after a disappointing night at Bristol. Clint Bowyer also dropped out of the top-16, but is only two points behind the final slot, now held by teammate

Daniel Suarez. THE REST OF THE FIELD: Brad Keselowski finished third in a Ford, and was followed by Gibbs driver Kyle Busch, who came from 31st to finish fourth. He received thunderous boos during driver introductions, but the eight-time Bristol winner simply guzzled something from a red plastic cup and thanked the fans for coming. Chase Elliott was fifth and the highest-finishing Chevrolet. Kyle Larson was sixth, followed by Bowyer and Suarez, who moved ahead of Bowyer in the standings via stage points. Kurt Busch and Ryan Blaney rounded out the top 10.

Spaulding erupted for 152 of his 153 yards in the second half, and rushed for a 22-yard score in the fourth quarter. Early in the third, Bowman broke away for a 24-yard touchdown run to tie the score at 12. On the first play of the ensuing Nikiski drive, Redington’s Mason Brouillet recovered a fumble. Six plays later, Bowman and Samuel Pinard connected on a 4-yard scoring pass, and the Huskies never looked back. Spaulding scored his second touchdown of the game early in the third.

“Those win you games,” Weinberger said. Redington also held Nikiski to just 20 yards of total offense in the second half. Nikiski used a pair of touchdowns during a fourminute stretch to take the lead at halftime. Sam Berry returned a fumble 19 yards for a touchdown with 4:10 left in the second to tie the score at 6.

Redington iced the game with Jahzeah Williams’ 28-yard catch and run for a score with about six minutes left in regulation. In all, Redington compiled 408 yards of total offense. “We knew we would be explosive on offense,” Weinberger said. Weinberger said he also liked the balance on offense. Redington rushed for nearly 300 yards. Bowman finished 10 of 17 for 108 yards and three scores in the passing game. The defense also stepped up, particularly in the second half, Weinberger said. Redington recovered a pair of fumbles on defense, and another on special teams.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — The winner climbed from his car and immediately apologized for denying an underdog his first career victory. The runner-up, in tears over his near miss, was raucously embraced by the crowd for his oh-so-close effort. Bristol Motor Speedway was a bizarre mix of emotions Saturday night after Denny Hamlin chased down Matt DiBenedetto to spoil a Saturday night upset. DiBenedetto learned this week that Leavine Family Racing won’t bring him back for a second season, and he has no job lined up for 2020. “I’m so sorry to Matt DiBenedetto, (crew chief ) Mike Wheeler. I hate it. I know what a win would mean to that team,” Hamlin said as soon as he exited his car. “But I’ve got to give 110 percent.” Hamlin was the first Toyota and Joe Gibbs Racing driver to start from the pole this season but his race was a roller-coaster that began when his car was damaged

when he bounced off of Jimmie Johnson. He later had a loose wheel, fell down a lap and seemed out of contention for his second career victory at Bristol. At the same time, DiBenedetto was working his way toward the front and put his Toyota out front for a racehigh 93 laps. He needed redemption — and a win would have put him in the playoffs, no less — but he again wound up victim to the Gibbs juggernaut. Gibbs has a logjam of talent, Leavine is a Gibbs partner, and Gibbs needs DiBenedetto’s seat next year to promote Christopher Bell from the Xfinity Series. “I wanted it to bad,” DiBenedetto said. “I’m sad. Congrats to Denny, raced hard and I’ve been a fan of his since I was a kid. To be racing door-to-door with him at Bristol in front of a great group of fans — I’m trying not to get emotional but it’s been a tough week and I just want to stick around and want to keep doing this for a long time to come. I am not done yet. Something is going to happen.”

Kodiak runners top Homer in dual Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The Homer Mariners got in their first cross-country meet of the season Saturday at Fort Abercrombie in Kodiak, competing against the Kodiak Bears. Kodiak swept to race wins in both varsity races, with junior Connor Marbrey taking the boys race and freshman Elizabeth Parnell taking the girls race. Marbrey won in a time of 18 minutes, 24.8 seconds, just two seconds ahead of Kodiak teammate Braxton Gruner. Homer sophomore Devin Wise was the top Mariners runner in fourth with a time of 20:41, while freshman teammate Lukyan Fairbanks was right behind in fifth with a time of 20:43. Parnell won the varsity girls with a time of 23:04, beating Homer freshman Eryn Field by six seconds. Homer junior Clayton Beachy won the Open Boys

race with the third-fastest time of the day in 18:46, winning the open event by 48 seconds over Kodiak senior Riley Birbilas. In the Open Girls race, Homer senior Autumn Daigle won with the fastest girls time of the day in 20:59, beating runner-up Naomi Griffin of Kodiak by 3:08.

CIA soccer starts Romp with draw vs. OLV From Page B1

By Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team opened its fall season by playing to a scoreless draw Saturday against Our Lady of the Valley in Palmer. CIA head coach Kenny Leaf said in a text that goalie Lucas Cragg earned a clean sheet in goal in his first game of the young season. Leaf also praised the play of team captains

Annika Castenholz and Isaac Johnson. Leaf said OLV “soundly defeated” Tri-Valley on Friday, putting Saturday’s result in comparison. “Hard fought game today against OLV,” he wrote. “Hats off to our lady Eagles who filled six of our starting positions and played most of the game.” The Eagles will face Lumen Christi on Friday at 4 p.m. at Kincaid Park in Anchorage.

kickoff and ran it all the way to Kenai’s 10-yard line. Kalugin then pushed through the Kardinals defense for a 1-yard gain and touchdown. Maruchev made a two-point conversion to bring the score to 21-14. Sealing the game was Burnett’s touchdown made on a 62-yard breakaway and another extra point from Pitsch, bringing the final score to 28-14. Kalugin led for the Mariners with 104 rush yards. Daniels and Kalugin had six completed passes each for totals of 100 yards and 86

yards, respectively. Zank said that while he would have preferred a win, he was proud of the way the Mariners played, especially given the fact that he’s rolled out a completely new offense this year. With only three seniors, it’s a young team. “I thought we played well,” Zank said. He said there’s plenty for the team to work on, but that a few penalties and missed opportunities were to be expected at this stage while the players get used to the team’s layout. “I think the boys see that once we do get going, and we start figuring this thing out that there’s a lot of room for growth,” he said. One highlight from

Saturday’s game was the effort put in by Zank’s defensive line, he said. “I thought the defense played extremely well, especially there in that first half,” Zank said. “They played really well in some difficult situations, you know, with the turnovers and things like that.” The Mariners next face off against fellow Division III team Redington Jr./Sr. High School in an away game at 7 p.m. Friday. The Kardinals will next host Ben Eielson High School, another Division III team, at 1 p.m. Saturday. Reach Megan Pacer at mpacer@homernews.com.

The right rug

Three top interior designers offer advice on choosing rugs to add color, texture and warmth to rooms By Melissa Rayworth Associated Press

warm, cozy rug can make a room look and feel more appealing on even the chilliest fall night. And the right rug can be a source of comfort year-round. “They’re also great in the summer, if you think about it, because your shoes are off, you’re in your shorts, the house is air conditioned,” says designer Michelle Gerson, founder of Michelle Gerson Interiors , based in New York. “You love to put your toes in a big cozy rug.” How do you choose the perfect rug for your space? The latest options include everything from century-old Moroccan rugs to trendy,

open-weave “sweater rugs” available at the click of a button. Here, three interior designers — Gerson; Texas-based Ashley Moore ; and Lauren Buxbaum Gordon, design director of Nate Berkus Associates — offer advice on choosing rugs and using them strategically to add color, texture and warmth to a room.

Neutral, bold or both? Gordon and Moore both advise clients to consider rugs as beautiful, neutral backdrops for the rest of a room. “Instead of being bold on pattern and color,” Gordon says, she prefers to get creative with the look and texture of the material. She might choose a flat-weave jute rug in a neutral

can be great if you’ve bought a home with wall-to-wall carpeting that you don’t love but aren’t ready to actually pull up. “My carpet in the bedroom is actually really dark, so I have a bright rug on it now,” she says. Beyond adding color, the smaller rug helps “define the space,” she says. If you’re layering, make sure the rugs are the right size, Gerson says. “Type into Pinterest ‘layered rugs,’” she says, and search for pictures you love. Note the sizes of the rugs and their placement, so you can create the right balance in your own space.

Layering Layering rugs can give you both looks in one: a larger, neutral base with something striking, like a thin Moroccan rug with a colorful, intricate pattern, laid on top. Moroccan rugs “look good anywhere,” Gerson says. “You can put one in a fancy Parisian apartment and it makes it look cool. Or you can put it in your kid’s dorm room and it makes it look cool.” Moore uses one as a runner on her kitchen floor to add a burst of color. She also says they

Two ways to reap a 2nd cabbage crop By Lee Reich Associated Press

By Dean Fosdick Associated Press

If mosquitoes, gnats, black flies and no-see-ums are driving you buggy, then consider cozying up to some lavender, marigolds or basil. Scientists question their overall effectiveness, but many fragrant ornamental flowers and herbs grown around the home have properties that can repel insects. Insect repellents are divided into two primary chemical classes: natural and synthetic. How effective they are depends on the targeted insects and the host plants’ essential oils. “Plant-derived insect repellents are very volatile compounds that work but exhaust themselves very quickly,” said Walter Leal, a biochemist and distinguished professor at the University of California, Davis. “They’re good, but they should last for a longer time.” The most frequently cited plant-based repellents include the oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) and oil of citronella.

color, or “mohair, woven-knit rugs that look like sweaters,” depending on the room and the client. Really lush materials like alpaca can make a dramatic statement without bold color or pattern. Moore’s approach is similar: “I tend to have it as a neutral palette, because it tends to be one of the most expensive pieces in the house,” she says. If a client is seeking pops of bold color or pattern, she brings that in through items like pillows and accessories that can easily be changed if the homeowner wants something new. “It’s easier to change a pillow,” Moore says, “than it is to change a 12-by-14 rug.” If you’re craving a bit of color in the rug, flat-woven kilims

Herbs and ornamental flowers such as this lavender bush are scientifically proven to naturally deter troublesome insects, but biochemists generally don’t believe they’re very effective.

DEET (N,N-Diethyl-metatoluamide), on the other hand, is a strong synthetic repellent considered the yardstick for protection from insects, but often is confused with DDT, the insecticide blamed for so many environmental problems, Leal said. “DEET is not an insecticide, and it’s a chemical of low volatility so it lasts longer,” Leal said. “People are not interested in reapplying something every few hours.” See bugs, Page C2

I have a head of cabbage that’s getting so swollen I know it’s going to split. Especially if a thunderburst drenches the ground. And after that head splits, my other cabbage heads, not as far along as the first, are also likely to swell, then split. I’m not going to sit back and accept splitting cabbage heads, which happens when wet soil suddenly pumps water up into a fully ripe cabbage head. A quick yank on the neck should keep any head together. I’ll straddle a swollen head, grab it with two hands, then give it a short jerk skyward. This seemingly brutal act should sever just enough small roots to stave off any rush of water. Another approach, of course, is to just eat the head — if I’m ready. A freshly harvested head of a good variety of cabbage is a treat, even if it’s not quite as tasty as one maturing during the cool, moist weather of autumn.

Creative spaces are often works in progress By Katherine Roth Associated Press

How do you create a space conducive to creative thinking? A number of recent books explore the working environments of creative people in search of hints and inspiration. “They’re not highly produced spaces. They are spaces that reflect the real lives of people,” says Ted Vadakan, co-author with Angie Myung of the new “Creative Spaces: People, Homes, and Studios to Inspire” (Chronicle Books). They talked with 23 creative people in a range of disciplines. “One common thread we found is that things were in a state of progress,” Vadakan says. “Things often felt sort of unfinished, in the midst of changing. … The space changes over time as they grow and change and explore.” Put another way, he says, “many creative spaces feel like a continuous work in progress. That was very enlightening to me. It’s easy to be critical of ourselves. But we

realized that everyone is in that state of constant change and work in progress. They’re always trying to be their better selves.” In addition to being comfortable with change, many of the people profiled in the book embraced imperfection, Vadakan said.

“I don’t mind dirt and rust, and I like things that don’t look spanking new, because it adds a little bit more character,” creative director and graphic designer David Irvin says in the book. His elegant but comfortable modern home features a mix of different woods,

The ‘good enough’ home may be just perfect for you By Barbara Marquand NerdWallet

Constructed from aspirational Instagram feeds and reality TV, the dream home floats in the imagination like a castle in the sky but dissolves in the rain of hard numbers. Chasing the dream can lure buyers to overextend themselves financially. Or the high prices can lead first-time homebuyers to delay a home purchase — and the opportunity to start building home equity. For many homebuyers, buying a “good enough” home can be a sounder strategy, particularly for those most eager to become homeowners. “I’d rather see people buy a good enough home versus buying a dream home and being cash-strapped over the next 20 years,” says Alyssa Lum, certified financial planner and founder of Luminate Financial Planning in Herndon, Virginia. Here’s the beauty of a good enough home.

It fits your lifestyle Roth tells of a couple who fell in love with a home that looked like a dream. But the commute to work — 90 minutes each way — became a nightmare. “They bought it in August and sold it in March,” Roth says. “Good” is personal. A big yard could be a must for a family with a dog, but a pain if you hate yardwork. And a good home matches your timeline. It should meet your needs for the years you plan to live there, which probably isn’t forever if it’s a first home, Roth says.

It doesn’t squeeze your budget

A good enough home may not have A good enough home has a reasonable artisan tile or stainless steel appliances, but price for your budget. Lum recommends it has the essentials. keeping your debt-to-income ratio Look for a home that’s well-maintained, under 30%.

from teak to plywood. An abundance of plant life is also a common feature in creative spaces, as are displays of eclectic objects that trigger ideas or memories. “If you have things that inspire you, like a large bulletin board with inspiring photos, or shelves with inspiring objects, whether natural objects or things that someone has made, it can really help the creative process,” says Lorna Aragon, home editor at Martha Stewart Living magazine. “Having natural elements in your space is also crucial. Bring some of the outdoors in. A view of greenery is important, if that’s possible, or bring plants into your space,” she says. Creative spaces also should be orderly, Aragon says, with lots of natural light if possible. “Clutter does not help you to focus. You want your space to have some order,” she says. “And lighting — natural light if at all possible — is very important. It helps productivity and improves moods.”

growth of buds lower down along the stem. Similarly, cut the head off a cabbage plant and buds further down along the stem are free to grow out into new stems, i.e., more heads. Two, three, even four or more new heads could grow on your decapitated cabbage plant. However, there are limits to how much water and how many nutrients the plant can take in, and there’s room for only so many new heads. More heads mean smaller heads, so you can “put in your order” for how big a head you want to harvest in autumn by adjusting the number of new heads.

Rugs From Page C1

Many people are particular about what their feet touch first thing in the morning, Gordon says. So a thick rug of mohair or soft, fluffy wool can be a great choice. But in houses with young children or pets, an openweave rug may soon look worn. Many wool or mohair rugs also shed, especially less expensive ones. That may be a worthwhile tradeoff: If you’re buying a rug for a

There also should be room to move around and space to create. For desks, “Size is everything. It’s frustrating to work at a desk that is too shallow, but you can equally go too deep — if you’re working on a computer or laptop, for example, the ideal distance between your eyes and the screen is only an arm’s length,” writes Sally Coulthard in “Studio: Creative Spaces for Creative People” (Jacqui Small, London, 2017). For colors, Aragon favors a light touch. “I think neutrals are always good because they’re not a distraction, but soft blues and greens also are supposed to help with productivity,” she says. Aside from these general themes, creative spaces are as individual and wide-ranging as the minds inhabiting them. “In a lot of ways, each of these creatives infused their own style and personality in their spaces, and then they allow the spaces to change and grow along with them,” Vadakan says.

Choose a shorter-season variety. No matter if you don’t have space in the garden now for cabbage plants. Sow seeds in flats or individual pots filled with potting soil. All they need is a few inches of space between them for the next month or so in the containers. After a month, there should be some space freed up in the garden, perhaps from an early planting of bush beans or sweet corn, or from later plantings of lettuce. No need to plant a whole row of cabbages; you can spot individual cabbage plants here and there — even among flowers — wherever space permits. As with the decapitation method of growing cabbages for autumn harvest, you can adjust the head size of the cabbage transplants you set out next month. Just space them closer for smaller heads. All this talk may seem like more than is warranted for so common a vegetable as a cabbage. Plant the old variety Early Jersey Wakefield, though, and you’ll see that the herbage warrants the verbiage.

child’s room and know you’ll be redecorating in just a few years, Gordon says, you might be “fine with knowing that it may shed.” But while “no one wants to pay the price tag for a fivefigure custom rug,” she says, sometimes that is the wiser long-term investment. Not sure about the durability of a rug you find online? Read the comments, Moore says, to see what other shoppers have experienced. And consider going vintage: If a rug has already survived a long time and still looks good, Moore says,

it will probably weather the wear you will give it too. Natural fibers like wool and silk are surprisingly easy to clean, these designers say. Just make sure you clean them the right way. Fight the urge to wipe a stain (which can rub it in further), and instead grab your vacuum cleaner hose to lift the stain up, Gerson says. And protect rugs before stains happen: These designers suggest having rugs (and upholstery, too) professionally sealed. Many companies offer the service because, Gerson notes, “everybody spills.”

Rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, citronella and catnip also may help discourage insect pests, he said. Ornamental flowers believed to be effective at deterring troublesome bugs include marigolds, alliums, chrysanthemums, petunias and geraniums. There are “a lot of plants that if you rub against them release vital oils,” Bachman said. “I think that’s probably of some benefit in repelling insects. But if you just have those plants sitting in a pot, I don’t think there’s much chance of keeping troublesome insects away. You have to put some effort into it, like rubbing crushed plant material onto your

clothing or skin.” Bachman cautions, however, that some of the volatile oils produced by those plants could be irritating. Most insect repellents designed for use on the skin must be registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency before they can be sold in stores. EPA registration means the repellent has been tested and approved for human safety and is effective when used according to label directions. Synthesized OLE is an effective insect deterrent although “pure” oil of eucalyptus is not recommended. “It has not undergone validated testing for safety and effectiveness and is not registered with EPA as an insect repellent,” the Centers for Disease Control says. Insects can be more than annoying. Some can be downright dangerous, transmitting viruses (yellow fever, encephalitis, dengue fever, West Nile disease), bacteria (Lyme disease, typhus) or parasites (malaria, sleeping sickness). Bug sprays generally are the first line of defense for long-lasting protection. Does that mean ornamental plants and herbs containing natural insect repellents are practical additions for residential settings? “Botanical repellents are a nice idea, but I don’t think they’re the best solution for discouraging insects,” Bachman said.

f ever there was a perfect summer for me to be able to paint my house, this has been

And yet, it looks like I’m still going to need professional help to get it done. Painting the house has been on the to-do list for a few years now. A couple of years ago, we even went so far as to get an estimate. But the estimate was a big number, and of course, I thought we should be able to do this ourselves. This summer has more than cooperated (as far as being able to paint, that is). It seems that most summers, once we get past that window in June, it’s a challenge to find a stretch of sunny days long enough to make significant progress. That’s certainly not been the case this summer. In fact, I think I can count the number of rainy days in the past three months on one hand. With that much sunshine, you’d think I’d be out mountain biking every weekend, instead of working on the house. But with the Swan Lake fire closing many of the trails on the peninsula, that hasn’t been a distraction. Heck, I haven’t even gone fishing this summer. So the question is, with more than two months since I started this project, what’s taking me so long? There have been a few distractions. For instance, there was the day my wife asked my daughter if she had told me about the noise the car was making. She hadn’t, I spent a day replacing the brakes on the kids’ old car. I also spent more time mowing the lawn that I feel like I should have, considering the lack of rain. But when my parents were visiting last fall, they spent a couple of days helping in the yard and put down some fertilizer. I suppose I’m glad the lawn looks good, but it does come with some extra work. Part of the problem, I think, has been my approach. All the DIY guides say to do just one section at a time. Tackling the whole exterior at once can be intimidating. In fact, my next

Hospice of the Central Peninsula volunteers wanted will morrow door neighbor growing up took that to an extreme, painting one side of his house each year. Then he’d take a year or two off, and start the process over. However, our plan — and by “our” plan, I mean my plan — has been to apply the paint with a sprayer, and you generally do the whole house at once that way. I had planned all along to have a pro come and do that part, so every weekend this summer, I’ve been doing the prep work — scraping, sanding, pressure washing and priming. It’s been a lot of work. There’s times I’ve felt like I’ve just been wandering aimlessly, randomly scraping with no particular rhyme or reason. There’s been times I’ve jumped into priming, even though there’s been more scraping to do, just so I can feel like I’m painting. I like to think that I’m closer to being finished than it looks. With good preparation, the painting is the easy part, right? But I’m also looking at the calendar. It’s mid-August already. We’re flirting with September, and the rain can’t hold off forever, can it? Then again, we had a beautiful fall last year — the rain didn’t come until December, which isn’t ideal, either. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the weather cooperates for a couple more weekends. The professional help that was just going to spray may end up doing just a little bit more. If I don’t get around to putting the shutters back up until next spring, so be it. And if we wait as long until the next time we decide to paint, I’ll probably be retired. And then I’ll have plenty of time, right? Will Morrow lives in Kenai. Email him at wkmorrow@ ptialaska.net.

Signs of trouble

Living so close to Mount Vesuvius, citizens of Pompeii were used to feeling earthquakes. In fact, in A.D. 62, a strong earthquake caused many buildings to fall down and streets to buckle. Builders, plumbers and slaves repaired much of the damage over the next 17 years. In the days before Aug. 24, people in Pompeii felt small tremors, or vibrations. Hanging lamps swung. Water stopped flowing from the aqueduct, a pipe for moving water. Birds flew away from the area.

The explosion

When Mount Vesuvius exploded, a large, dark cloud rose up from it. A man who lived across the Bay of Naples from Pompeii, Pliny the Elder, saw the cloud and wanted to get a closer look. He ordered his servants to prepare a boat and began sailing across the bay. *A.D. stands for anno Domini, which means “the year of our Lord” in Latin. When we use it with a year, it refers to the time after Jesus Christ was born. B.C. stands for “before Christ.” Some people say B.C.E. (before common era) and C.E. (common era) instead.

His nephew, Pliny the Younger, wrote these observations about the explosion: “Ash was falling ... (B)road sheets of flame were lighting up many parts of Vesuvius. … (People) tied pillows on top of their heads as protection against the shower of rock. It was daylight ... but there the darkness was darker and thicker than any night.”

This plaster cast of a man and a vase he was probably carrying was made in the 1800s. The casts were detailed enough to show facial expressions and clothing details.

A city preserved

Buried cities

The ash that fell from Mount Vesuvius hardened, something like cement, after many years. As the bodies of people and animals decayed, the hardened ash around them kept its shape. It was lightweight enough that it didn’t crush the remains. Fiorelli discovered he could pour liquid plaster into the cavity, or opening, where the person’s skin and clothing used to be. This way he could create a detailed cast, or model, of how the person looked when he or she died.

In Pompeii and nearby cities, ash and rocks rained down from Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii was buried in about 20 feet of the debris, or rubble. The city of Herculaneum, between Pompeii and Naples, was completely buried. Experts think about 20,000 people lived in Pompeii at Archaeologists have the time of the uncovered much of the city of Pompeii, where visitors eruption. Only can walk along the streets about 2,000 and see stores and homes. bodies were found when scientists began excavating (EX-cavay-ting), or digging, in the area. Survivors of the volcano probably returned fairly soon to Pompeii and tried to dig for valuables buried in their homes or businesses. When they dug deep, they may have released poisonous gases. These vapors probably killed some of the survivors.

On a regular day like this more than 1,900 years ago, citizens of a city in Italy were going about their business when a mountain about six miles away rumbled and then exploded. Let’s learn about the city of Pompeii (pom-PAY) and Mount Vesuvius (veh-SOOvee-us), the volcano that buried the city and many of its inhabitants on Aug. 24, A.D. 79*.

Cook’s Corner

More than 260 dolphins have become stranded since February on Gulf of Mexico beaches from Louisiana to the Florida panhandle. The U.S. environment agency NOAA declared the marine mammal deaths an “unusual mortality event.” The agency says it is unclear what has caused the deaths, which are three times greater in number than average. Some experts believe the deaths could be from the lingering effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. adapted with permission from Earthweek.com

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This year, you increase your capacity to relate on an intense level. Others frequently come to you to discuss matters of consequence. If you’re single, one of your most desirable traits is this capacity for relating. You draw in sensitive people. However, you have a facet of your personality that is fiery, risk-taking and wild. Few can handle both sides.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might suddenly be driven to start a new physical fitness plan or approach a project with more energy. Take action as soon as this afternoon. Tonight: As you like. This week: Monday you are a veritable wiz. Should any hassle appear, you will skip right through it. Try to maintain that positive attitude all week long.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH A friend implores you to join him or her for an early brunch. If you go, you’ll discover what a great time you can have together. You both appear to have too much energy to spare. Tonight: Think Monday. This week: Maintain a low profile until Wednesday. Gather facts. Make decisions midweek on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are not bossy in general, but you assume a take-charge attitude in the afternoon. You have a goal in mind that you plan to reach, and you will not allow anyone to interfere. Tonight: Go with a friend’s suggestion. This week: Zero in on priorities. Know what you want Monday and Tuesday. Take a new look at the emotional landscape midweek.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You spend the morning thinking about a possible trip or visiting a loved one. Once you land, you might even be somewhat controlling as you demand to have it your way. Don’t be surprised if you get a no! Tonight: Greeting the wee hours. This week: Pressure soars as the week begins. By Wednesday, you know you have accomplished a major feat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You allow others to dominate at present. You might not even be conscious of this decision; it simply feels easier. Tonight: Go for exotic cuisine. This week: Reach out for someone you care about. How you handle a situation could be unusual yet effective. Midweek, take charge.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You have gone along with others’ wishes for a while. You might feel as if someone is being unusually difficult or hard on you. You can break this pattern this afternoon by simply taking charge or having a discussion Tonight: All smiles. This week: If you hit an obstacle, know that

counseling could be helpful. However, because you are becoming increasingly frustrated and depressed, also discuss these feelings with your physician. If you are worried about your biological clock, women have options today that weren’t available in years past, and you and Brad may want to explore them. DEAR ABBY: I am a 69-year-old divorcee who was married for 48 years. The last 25 years were very lonely. There were no intimate relations, hugs or kisses, and we slept in separate bedrooms. After I retired, I learned my husband had been cheating

you can get past nearly any problem with the help of another person. Express your appreciation to this person.

By Dave Green

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Get a project done or get into reading the Sunday paper early. By afternoon, a knock on the door or a friendly invitation summons you to join your friends or family. Tonight: Hang out as long as you want. This week: You wish you could get some quality time with a loved one or special friend. You could feel tested at times during this work week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Allow some laziness in the morning. You always seem to go at a fast clip, so the change could be refreshing. By afternoon, you will want to break into a faster pace. Tonight: Wherever you are, you will be visiting and catching up on news. Let the fun begin. This week: Be discriminating about what you share with a loved one. This person could get so excited it might be hard to share other news.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might be unusually concise and direct in the morning. You could realize what a big gap you have to bridge with a friend to come to terms with a situation. You simply need to accept each other’s styles. Tonight: Order in. This week: Your ability to get past a hassle emerges, especially if the issue is domestic or personal. You make a great role model in any case.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Restricting yourself from making a major expenditure or several little ones proves to be smart. It might take a few days to understand why the self-discipline was necessary. Tonight: Return calls first. This week: Defer to another person, knowing full well you cannot convince him or her to follow your suggestions. Disengage if possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A sudden argument or emotional eruption could mar a nearly perfect morning. Toss yourself into a preferred pastime in the afternoon rather than going over and over the same incident. Tonight: A small gesture works. This week: Use caution with spending. You might inadvertently go overboard. After Tuesday, it becomes apparent that your judgment of a situation is correct.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You are still going full speed ahead, partly because of your ingenuity. At some point, you will need to slow down and evaluate. Realign your priorities. Tonight: Invite others over for dessert. This week: Getting into the work week is not a problem. Staying focused after Wednesday could be difficult. Your social life picks up.

on me for God knows how long, possibly 20 years. After our divorce, I was finally persuaded to do some online dating, which has been quite an adventure, both positive and negative! I am currently happy in an exclusive year-long relationship, but because I have been out of the dating world for almost half a century, I am confused by the new rules. My boyfriend sometimes expects me to share the cost of what we do, whether it be restaurant, movies, golf, airline tickets, etc. My mother taught me that the gentleman always pays, so please

However, because women are now in the working world, have incomes of their own, and are on a more equal par with men, they now share some or all of those expenses. Much depends upon the financial disparity between the two. This is an important subject you should discuss with your gentleman friend to see if you can agree on an arrangement that’s comfortable for both of you.

DEAR ABBY: My fiance, “Bradley,” is the man of my dreams. We have been together three years, live together and have a dog. Brad is in his early 30s, and I’m turning 30 this year. We decided on a long engagement so we could enjoy the planning process. Our wedding is scheduled for next year. We both work hard and live comfortably. But we struggle now and then to make ends meet, especially around the holidays, although it’s nothing we can’t resolve by cutting back a bit. The issue: I am ready for a child.

“Chloe” and I have been friends since first grade. Even though we went to different high schools and have made other friends, we still remained close, spending summer vacations with each other’s family. We are now juniors in high school.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You will hear a lot of news, with perhaps some gossip sprinkled in. An authority figure seems cool and austere. This person’s expectations might not be the same as yours. Tonight: You call the shots. Others go along with your choices.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Pull back and listen. You could feel unusually pressured and might not want to participate in a discussion. You might be unusually serious. Your perspective could be enhanced by staying mum. Tonight: Head home, screen your calls and take the

dog for a long walk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could find an argument powerful, but it is not one you can support. In fact, rather than discuss the issue, the other party closes down. You could feel frustrated. Still, information comes up. Tonight: A partner seems ready to spill the beans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You decide you will call the shots today. Do not be surprised if a close associate develops an attitude. Let it happen, but make sure you really want the lead. Make an important call. Tonight: Say yes to an offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You cannot seem to go along with the status quo. You know a lot, but decide to question a decision or an important change of direction. You will seek out expert advice. You will also try to place yourself in another’s shoes. Tonight: Be imaginative.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to draw a partner or associate into what

CANDLE WAX ON CARPET Dear Heloise: I have candle wax on my carpet. How do I get it out? — Jill S., Nampa, Idaho Jill, put ice in a metal pan and place the pan on the wax until the wax is frozen hard. Remove the pan and hit the wax with something blunt to make the wax shatter, then vacuum up the pieces.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You find that others could be unusually playful and fun-loving. Loosen up if you can, but do not act negatively toward those who are not as reactive and work-oriented as you. Good news heads your way after a discussion. Tonight: Talking with a loved one or friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your inclination to let others handle problems might be convenient for you and flattering for others. You could want to respond to a friend’s or loved one’s overtures. This person is frequently lucky for you. Tonight: Return calls, then decide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHH You could feel a bit out of sorts, possibly because of a financial gamble. You also might sense an undercurrent around you. A lot might be going on that others are choosing not to discuss with you. Do not push, just listen. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

HHH Deal with financial matters early, before too much happens and you do not have time. People seek you out left and right. Remain as responsive as possible. You take charge of a project. Tonight: A must appearance.

HHH You have more than your share of energy, which is visible to anyone looking at you. What could be a problem is that you are far
