School starts without a new contract Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

The school district and two employee associations have not reconvened after efforts to come to a contract agreement fell short Aug. 13. School began Tuesday for majority of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, and teachers are starting another school year without a contract. For over a year, contract negotiations between the borough school district and the associations have snagged on the rising cost of health care. A previous agreement effective through June 2018 remains in use for employees without contracts. After negotiations ended Aug. 13, the Kenai Peninsula Education Association and Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association were waiting for the district to analyze the cost of their most recent proposal, requiring an estimate from the broker. The broker was unable to get the estimate to the district by last weekend, and the two employee associations are waiting on a response from the district, Kenai Peninsula Education Association President David Brighton said. The associations hope to meet with the district soon, and reach an agreement, but if no agreement can be made the employee associations said they will be ready to strike in September, according to a Monday Facebook post from the Kenai Peninsula Education Association. After contract negotiations with the district hit a standstill, peninsula educators and staff voted May 22 to strike, with more than 75% of certified staff voting “yes” on a walkout. The associations planned to choose a strategic time to start the strike. District employees cannot be fired for participating in a legal strike. What happens if a contract can’t be settled and employees go on strike? In an August press release from the district, communications liaison Pegge Erkeneff said a work See school, Page A3

Fires prompt emergency declaration By Brian Mazurek and Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce declared a disaster emergency Wednesday in response to several active wildfires on the peninsula. “The severity and magnitude of these fires is beyond the authority and capacity of the Kenai Peninsula Borough, a second class borough of the State of Alaska, to provide effective response,” the declaration said. The declaration cites the Swan Lake Fire near Sterling, which has been burning in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge since June 5, as threatening severe damage to life and property. Two other fires — near Caribou Lake and North Fork Road near Homer — are also burning. In the declaration, Pierce said the borough has expended significant resources in coordinating with the state to assist in the fire response. The disaster declaration requests Gov. Mike Dunleavy to declare a disaster emergency, which would allow for disaster assistance to the Kenai Peninsula by making available resources as needed in the ongoing response. The declaration may also provide individual assistance for affected property owners with property that was damaged as a result of the fires. The declaration said the fire, which has caused and is still causing multiple closures of the Sterling Highway, has had significant impacts to transportation for individuals, businesses and of commodities to and from communities. “You had literally thousands of cars waiting in line — remember we had a Level 1 evacuation plan for Cooper Landing and we had in excess of 1,500 cars in Cooper Landing,” Pierce said during the Borough Assembly Meeting Tuesday night. “Imagine if See emergency, Page A3

Caribou Lake Fire now at 700 acres; North Fork Fire danger is less By Michael Armstrong Homer News

As firefighters mopped up an almost 60-acre wildland fire on the south end of North Fork Road, attention shifted on Wednesday to a fire near Caribou Lake that grew from 50 acres on Monday to 700 acres on Tuesday. Both fires threaten homes and cabins in areas north and east of Homer. Officials on Wednesday also imposed a total burn ban for Southcentral Alaska, including the Kenai Peninsula and the MatanuskaSusitna Borough, including in Kachemak Bay State Park land. That means no open fires of any kind, including campfires, warming fires and barbecue grills. Propane or gas grills that can be turned off are still allowed. A burn suspension for larger fires and burn barrels was already in place. While the cause of the North Fork and Caribou Lake fires remain under investigation, officials are tentatively

saying the fires were human caused because there were no lightning strikes or possible natural causes. There were 28 crew members fighting the Caribou Lake Fire on Wednesday, with Kachemak Emergency Services firefighters driving in by all-terrain vehicles to support a Redding, California, hotshot crew of 20. Air tankers are doing retardant drops, and Fire Boss planes have been scooping water out of the lake. “They’re going to concentrate on the west side of the lake,” said KESA Chief Bob Cicciarella. “There’s a forecast of high winds tonight and tomorrow. They want to get a good handle on that west side.” KESA volunteer firefighters have been stretched thin fighting both fires. Eighteen to 26 structures are threatened at Caribou Lake, said Bridget Bushue, a public information officer with the Bureau of Land Management through the Alaska Interagency Information Center.

Caribou Lake is a popular recreational area about 25 miles northeast of Homer and accessible by snowmachine and four-wheeler trail from East End Road. Cicciarella said access on the trail has been good, with few wet spots. At the North Fork fire, 42 people have been working the fire that started Sunday evening. A bulldozer line now encircles the fire about 1.5 miles east of the Sterling High between Homer and Anchor Point. KESA first responded to the fire about 6:45 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18. Anchor Point Emergency Services also responded. The south North Fork Road area is in the KESA service area just south of the Anchor Point service area. The initial attack included helicopters with bucket drops and the Fire Boss planes. The Zigzag Hotshot Crew from Portland, Oregon, arrived Monday to assist the Yukon Hotshot Crew.

Flood advisory issued for Kenai Lake, Upper Kenai River Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

A flood advisory was issued Wednesday by the National Weather Service for the areas of the Kenai Lake and Kenai River from Cooper Landing to Skilak Lake. The advisory is effective until Friday. A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated, or ponding of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent, according to the advisory. Kenai Lake and Cooper Landing are some of the locations that may experience

flooding, the advisory said. Primrose Campground near Seward may also experience flooding, according to an update from the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management. The Snow Glacier dammed lake is releasing at this time, causing water levels on the Snow River to steadily rise. A significant water level increase is expected at Kenai Lake this weekend. Water may continue to rise on Kenai Lake and the Kenai River through the weekend and early next week. On the Kenai River below Skilak Lake water levels will

see a moderate increase by early next week. “There is considerable uncertainty of water volumes released and drain rates during glacial dammed lake outbursts,” the advisory said. The flood advisory is due to the Snow Glacier dammed lake releasing, located in the headwaters of the Snow River near Moose Pass, which is an outburst event that occurs every couple of years, according to the borough’s update. The Snow River flows from an 8-mile long glacier in See flood, Page A2

Planned Parenthood in Alaska loses state, federal funding By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

On Monday, as Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced cuts to the state budget, including $50 million for Medicaid, Pl a n n e d Pa re nt h o o d affiliates nationwide decided to withdrawal from the Title X federal funding program.

That decision will make access to health care in Alaska more difficult, according to Jessica Cler, Alaska Director of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawaii, the advocacy arm of Planned Parenthood in Alaska. “This withdrawal (of federal funding) hits Alaska

the hardest,” Cler said in a phone interview Tuesday. “We already know that access to health care is a challenge here, from provider shortages to the high cost. So with the gag rule on top of the drastic budget cuts from the governor … health care is going to be increasingly hard to access and will particularly

hurt low-income folks the hardest.” Planned Parenthood withdrew from the program because of a new rule, known as the gag rule, imposed by the Trump administration that prevents recipients of Title X federal funding from informing their patients of how or where they can

access abortion. “We believe it is unethical to not give the most accurate information to our patients,” Cler told the Empire. “That includes telling them how to access abortion.” The new rule allows for clinics to tell patients that abortion See funds, Page A2

is an option, but does not allow direct referrals to other health centers. According to Cler, Planned Parenthood in Alaska provides services to 74% of the patients served by Title X in Alaska, which is more than 6,000 people. A statement from Planned Parenthood of the Greater Northwest and Hawaiian Islands (PPGNHI) said that roughly 25% of those patients are uninsured, meaning their access to

up, water will flow through a main drainage under the glacier. The lake flow takes a week or two to drain, before the empty channel is crushed by the weight of the glacier and the dammed lake begins to fill again. The release event is known as a jökulhlaup, an Icelandic term describing a sudden water release from glaciers or glacier-dammed lakes.

Snow River jökulhlaups have been recorded since 1949, and releases its water every two to four years. Jökulhlaups on the Snow River are of special concern because the flood waters may impact residential and commercial developments on Kenai Lake and the Upper Kenai River. “Records show that jökulhlaups have produced floods on Snow River twice

the size of the biggest rainfall floors and four times the size of the largest snowmelt floods,” according to the Chugach National Forest information guide on jökulhlaups. The lake typically releases in the fall, and last released in September 2017. The 2019 impacts are expected to match the levels of the 2017 event, the borough’s update said.

health care is already limited. In addition to the gag rule, the Trump administration has imposed other rules for Title X recipients, which Pl a n n e d Pa re nt h o o d considers to be cost prohibitive and unnecessary. In “a move that is clearly targeted at Planned Parenthood,” according to Cler, the Trump administration has imposed physical separation requirements for health centers which provide abortion. According to a statement from Planned Parenthood releas e d in February, physical

separation requirements could force health clinics which provide abortions to construct new entrances and exits or entirely new clinics. The administration’s rule also imposes financial separation, meaning that clinics wanting to provide abortion would have to hire a separate staff of doctors, nurses and administrative staff. Title X does not provide money for abortions, only birth control and reproductive health care. Physical separation rules would mean that a clinic which provides abortions

could not also provide things like birth-control pills or sexually transmitted infection screening or treatment at the same location or by the same staff. Cler said that Planned Parenthood in Alaska was not yet able to determine just how the governor’s cuts would impact the organization’s services. “We’re going to continue to do everything we can to offer the same care to our patients but we know that’s not sustainable,” Cler said. “We’re looking at other options over the next couple of months.”

Nancy Elizabeth Herr, 85, passed away peacefully at Central Peninsula Hospital on August 18, 2019. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Herr Homestead on Saturday, August 24th at 1:00 pm. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to Heritage Place, 232 W Rockwell Place, Soldotna, AK 99669. Nancy was born and raised in Boston, MA. She started her great Alaskan Adventure at the age of 19 in 1953. She first settled in Anchorage where she met her husband, George S. Herr Jr. In 1962, Nancy and George decided to move to the Kenai Peninsula with 4 children in tow and homesteaded outside of Soldotna, off K-Beach Road. It was at this time that the transition from a city girl to a country girl took place. Nancy absolutely loved the homestead and all the challenges it took to build a home from the ground up. Together with George they built a cabin and raised 7 children to adulthood. Nancy in the first years made all the children’s clothing. She was very creative and enjoyed sewing, knitting, crocheting and embroidery. She got to indulge in her love of animals and raised a variety of a furry and feathered critters. Her children, grandchildren greatgrandchildren were the joy and focus of her life and she spoiled us rotten! Nancy was preceded in death by her Great Granddaughter, Jezreel Herr and Daughter-in-law, Dianne Herr. She is survived by her husband of 65 years, George S. Herr Jr. and children; George III, Jim, Scott, Laura (Tom Kaiser), Cindy, Jeremy (Stacy) and Joe; 15 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and two great-greatgrandchildren.

we had to evacuate.” Pierce said Tuesday night that he met with the agencies managing the three fires and imparted three high priorities for the teams: protecting residents and property near fire activity, requesting a total burn ban in the borough and improving traffic control on the portion of the Sterling Highway that has experienced closures due to the Swan Lake Fire. Fire crews have struggled since Sunday to keep the Sterling Highway open due to heavy smoke conditions and active growth from the Swan Lake Fire. On Wednesday the highway was closed at 6:45 a.m. because heavy smoke significantly impaired visibility, but by noon the smoke had cleared and the highway was reopen. By 4:15 p.m., the highway closed once again so that aerial resources could be used alongside the highway to target fire activity. It had reopened by 7 p.m. Cooper Landing and its neighboring recreational areas have been impacted by heavy smoke, with air quality measuring between very unhealthy and hazardous. The community has also suffered major transportation disruptions and negative impacts to tourism and businesses.

The fire has been burning through rough terrain with high grass and spruce trees. “They’re keeping the dozer line open and mopped up on the edge,” Bushue said. “There were some trees torching. It looks like the fire activity was moderate.” She said officials aren’t calling the North Fork Fire contained just yet. “Contained just means the fire’s not spreading out anymore. It doesn’t mean it’s out,” she said. “There are still risks. There are still hazards. Things can change daily.” Dozer operators also put in a rough road to the North Fork fire scene. Hauling water has been complicated with trying to get heavy trucks to the fire. To help relieve stress on KESA firefighters mobilized to the Caribou Lake Fire, the Homer Volunteer Fire Department has been providing mutual aid with water pumping, said HVFD Chief Mark Kirko. They have now set up a hose line pumping water from the Anchor River into tankers, driving a short

com/2019/08/081919-north-fork-firediamond-ridge.html. The Caribou Lake Fire started sometime on Monday, Aug. 19. About 2:45 p.m. Aug. 19, Homer resident Ian Pitzman reported the fire via an inReach satellite communications device to his wife, Stephanie Pitzman, who then reported the fire to emergency dispatchers. Pitzman had been heading out to the family cabin with his daughter and some of her friends. Traveling by four-wheelers and an Argo allterrain vehicle, he said they saw the fire across a swamp at the west end of Caribou Lake. At first the fire looked like fog or dust, but they soon realized it was a fire. The fire burned to the north and parallel to the lake, up toward the Boxcar Hills, he said. Cicciarella said KESA has been getting a lot of support from the community. People have been bringing sandwiches, snacks, energy bars, pizza and other food to firefighters. “This is Homer at its best,” he said. “It’s been fantastic. A big thank-you goes out to all of them.” Kirko said resources have been stretched thin at lower peninsula departments.

“We’re being vigilant and making sure we have a resource backup plan for other calls that might come in,” he said. Heavy smoke has been drifting in and out of wildfire areas depending on winds, temperatures and other factors. Kirko advised people with asthma and other respiratory conditions to keep windows closed and avoid being outside. The American Lung Association has advice for people with lung conditions at its website at https://www.lung.org/ourinitiatives/healthy-air/outdoor/emergencies-and-natural-disasters/wildfires.html.

Officials put the south North Fork Road and Diamond Ridge Road areas on a Level 1 or “ready” status on Monday. In the Ready-Set-Go alert levels, a Level 1 alert is not a notice to leave. The area is still under “ready” status. “Level 1 is the lowest,” said Beth Ipsen, a public information officer with the Alaska Interagency Fire Information Office on Monday. “Heads up — there’s a fire in the area. Just be aware of it and start thinking about the next stage.” “Set” or Level 2 is the next alert status, where people should pack up important papers, medicine, pets and anything valuable they want to take with them. “Go” or Level 3 is the evacuation order.

Cooper Landing School opened at 11 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. Absences will be excused if parents choose to keep children at home due to air quality concerns, road closures or wildfire activity in the area. Outdoor recess and physical activity at all school locations may be modified based on Air Quality Levels. On Wednesday, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game issued a press release asking hunters to avoid active wildfire perimeters. According to the release, of particular concern are popular game management units along the highway system between Homer and Talkeetna where several wildfires are currently burning even as moose hunting season opens. “All of these fires are happening right now in popular, road-accessible hunting areas,” Wildlife Troopers Captain Rex Leath said in the release. “Firefighting crews and equipment are present around each fire perimeter and the best thing hunters can do is avoid these areas. That may mean changing plans, traveling well beyond active wildfires and hunting new country.” For the latest information on active wildfires, visit www.kpboem.com or www.akfireinfo.com.

stoppage would result in an emergency closure of schools. If and when the associations decide to call a strike, they are required to notify the superintendent 72 hours in advance. The superintendent will notify staff, parents, community partners, contractors and others of the strike’s start date. In the event of a strike, every school

School session days and staff work days that are missed due to a strike must be made up and the number of days schools are closed due to the strike will be added to the end of the school year in May. In the event of a strike, daily updates will be issued and official district communications will be posted on the district’s website and digital media platforms. These changes will only occur if the superintendent receives a strike notice from the associations.

meeting will be held tonight at the Sterling Community Center. Tuesday, firefighters and dozers completed an initial containment line to limit the fire’s spread to the west and implemented structure protection measures in the Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area. Yesterday , crews from the Type 1 Great Basin Incident Management Team continued constructing control lines around the fire’s perimeter. On the western flank, crews worked south of the Sterling Highway to limit the fire’s spread towards Sterling. On the eastern side, crews scouted options for control lines and deployed fire hoses south of the highway for future response actions. North of the highway, firefighters are reestablishing contingency lines west of the Resurrection Trail corridor to use as primary control lines. They will also be implementing structure protection measures for the public use cabins in the Resurrection Trail corridor. When visibility allows, tactical firefighting aircraft will be used to check the fire’s spread in critical areas. Cooper Landing and Sterling residents east of Feuding Lane and east of Adkins Road are still in a Level 1 “Ready” alert, according to OEM. A Level 1 alert is not a notice to leave, but it means that residents in these areas must be ready for potential evacuation.

Free camping is available at Centennial and Swiftwater parks in Soldotna for stranded motorists. The rodeo grounds are available for individuals with livestock or other animals. The Alaska Division of Forestry responded to Pierce’s request for a burn ban and has instituted an emergency burn closure on state, private, borough and municipal lands within the Kenai Peninsula and Matanuska-Susitna boroughs as of 8 a.m. Wednesday. All burning, including campfires and the use of charcoal grills, is prohibited. Devices that can be turned on and off, such as gas and pellet grills and backpacking or camp stoves that use fuel or compressed fuel canisters will still be allowed. The closure includes campfires in established fire pits or rings in designated campgrounds. A map of the burn closure areas is available on the OEM website. Persistent warm and dry conditions have led to extreme wildfire danger in Southcentral Alaska. Several new wildfires across the state are straining local initial attack resources, including the Deshka Landing and McKinley fires in the Mat-Su Valley. The Swan Lake Fire has also seen a dramatic increase in activity in recent days, and the latest infrared mapping from Tuesday night puts the fire’s size at 141,923 acres.

What others say

Trump takes aim at those struggling to meet ends

L

yndon Johnson had his War on Poverty; Donald Trump has declared war on the impoverished themselves. The president’s latest salvo might have been fired at immigrants, but it sent a clear message to anyone struggling to make ends meet in America that the current occupant of the White House would prefer you look elsewhere for help. The Trump administration last week issued a revised rule that would deny legal status to any immigrants U.S. officials think are likely to apply for government assistance such as food stamps or subsidized housing. Kenneth Cuccinelli, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said the new “green card” rule would help ensure immigrants allowed to stay in this country “can stand on their own two feet” and won’t become a drain on society. That seemingly innocuous comment was meant to assure taxpayers the president is only protecting their interests, but it has a more sinister connotation when placed in context with other moves by this administration to limit aid to the poor. It smacks of the same rhetoric that decades ago spawned the “welfare queen” myth that poor women living in ghetto neighborhoods were having babies to get a monthly check instead of getting a job. Trump declared his war on the poor with an executive order issued April 10, 2018, titled “Reducing Poverty in America by Promoting Opportunity and Economic Mobility.” Call it his manifesto. Trump’s document admitted welfare reform under Bill Clinton in 1996 included a work requirement but insisted the system “still traps many recipients, especially children, in poverty and is in need of further reform.” It’s true that too many Americans are poor, about 40 million, and too many of the poor are children, about 13 million. But blaming temporary assistance programs for persistent poverty is an elitist trope and a gross distortion of reality. Many poor families are working multiple jobs and still need help. Instead of extending a hand, Trump is making their situation more difficult. He’s figured out it’s easier to bypass Congress, especially with Democrats controlling the House, and get subservient department heads to make rule changes like the revised green card requirements. The Department of Agriculture, for example, is making a rule change that would eliminate food stamp benefits for 3.1 million Americans. It doesn’t matter that 11 million people have left the food stamp rolls since its post-recession peak of 47 million. Trump wants more people off food stamps. Instead of addressing the reasons so many families experience hunger and periods of food insecurity, he is callously cutting off a lifeline many use as a last resort. The USDA rule change says if a family of four earns $32,640 a year — 130 percent above the federal poverty level — and has more than $2,250 in the bank, it will no longer qualify for food stamp aid of about $1.40 per person per meal. You can either save money for emergencies or eat. Not both. Meanwhile, Department of Housing and Urban Development rule changes could hurt poor people looking for affordable housing. Secretary Ben Carson has decided HUD will no longer enforce an Obama administration rule that required more than 1,200 municipalities to file desegregation plans or risk losing federal housing funds. HUD officials said it was taking too much time to analyze the desegregation plans, which frequently were rejected for being incomplete or inconsistent with civil rights laws. Advocates for fair housing said that was exactly why HUD should enforce the rule, but Carson acted like he didn’t hear them. Trump’s enfeebling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is another disservice to the poor. The CFPB was created in 2011, in part, to advocate for Americans who suffered from the predatory loan practices that helped send this nation into crippling recession. — The Houston Chronicle, Aug. 19

letter to the editor

Let’s hear it from the oil companies first I read the article “Dunleavy reluctant to consider oil taxes” in the Aug. 21 issue of the Clarion and noted that Sen. Mark Begich has stated oil industry leaders have expressed no interest in leaving the state. That’s not surprising considering their investments here, but does he mean even if taxes on oil or other fossil fuels are increased dramatically? I don’t know. So I’d like to hear that publicly from the fossil fuel execs themselves before we believe Sen. Begich’s statements about these private companies. Otherwise, he’s just guessing how much taxation they will tolerate before they might pull the plug, even if only partially. Dave Peck Kenai

Making Alaska’s economy stronger

T

he Bureau of Economic Analysis in part defines gross domestic product (GDP) as “a comprehensive measure of the economies of each state. GDP estimates the value of the goods and services produced in a state including breakdowns of industry contributions to each state economy.” The U.S. Department of Commerce reports Alaska’s 1st quarter GDP at 3.9%, which is the 6th fastest amongst states across the nation. The determining factors for a strong state economy requires consideration of several indicators. A factor that is often overlooked is how the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development contributes to our strong economy. I believe that the value of Alaska’s goods and services rests upon a quality workforce. When analyzing the state’s economic growth, it is important to understand how the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) plays a critical role in Alaska’s economy. The department’s mission, recent reform efforts, deregulation, and alignment with Governor Michael J. Dunleavy’s,

“open for business” formula indeed contribute to economic growth and an increasingly positive economic outlook. The department’s primary mission is to provide safe and legal working conditions, and to advance opportunities for employment. To achieve our mission, state training and employment program grants are awarded for the purpose of strengthening the local workforce in preparation for good paying jobs in high-growth, high demand industries. As the state’s lead workforce development agency, programs and services are coordinated and rendered in a manner that demonstrates a commitment to meeting the needs of businesses and employers looking for qualified workers. The department’s comprehensive approach to training and development includes the Workforce Investment Opportunity Act (WIOA). Job training funds and support services are directed to targeted populations to ensure skills-building opportunities for job seekers who are low income, youth ages 14-24,

veterans, dislocated workers, reentrants, people living with disabilities, adult basic education deficient, and Native Alaskan/Native Americans. The strength of the DOLWD is its comprehensive and unified approach when providing seamless services to both employers and job seekers. Every Alaska resident who desires employment, can confidently reach out to the department for assistance focused on career pathways and industry related partnerships, plus job search assistance that leads to viable employment opportunities. Our future is bright. Through the alignment of services, policy reform and core REACH values (respect, excellence, accountability, competent, honesty) the department has created efficiencies, increased outcomes and redefined how we do business, enhancing our ability to support Alaska’s economy and proudly declare “We are Alaska Strong!” Dr. Tamika L. Ledbetter is the commissioner of the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

News and politics

Analysis: Trump’s ‘disloyal’ jab may boost base, not Jews By Jill Colvin and Elana Schor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s branding of American Jews who vote for Democrats as “disloyal” to their religion and Israel prompted alarms of anti-Semitism. But his ultimate aim appears to be dividing Democrats, peeling off Jewish support and shoring up his white evangelical Christian base. Digging in Wednesday despite widespread criticism, Trump repeated his controversial assertion about Jews who support the Democratic Party. “In my opinion, if you vote for a Democrat, you’re being very disloyal to Jewish people and you’re being very disloyal to Israel,” he told reporters. “And only weak people would say anything other than that.” The comment — which appeared to traffic in anti-Semitic tropes about Jews’ supposed loyalty to Israel — added a sharper edge to Trump’s appeals to another largely Democratic constituency: black voters, whom he challenged to support him in 2016 by asking: “What do you have to lose?” This time, Trump and his allies are trying to lure Jewish voters who they think could be turned off by liberal Democrats’ growing willingness to criticize the Israeli government. In a razor-close election, picking up a few thousand votes in key counties in states such as Florida and Pennsylvania could make a difference, they argue. Trump has focused on four firstterm Democratic congresswomen of color who have voiced misgivings about U.S. policy toward Israel, trying to brand them the “face” of their party. It’s part of a larger effort by Trump and his team to try to paint Democrats as radical and outside the mainstream, a scarier alternative for undecided voters who may be turned

off by Trump’s rhetoric. “Democrats continue to embrace and defend the most vitriolic anti-Semites in their midst, who sympathize and side with terrorist organizations who want to wipe Israel from the map,” Trump campaign strategist Michael Glassner said in a statement. “As a Jew myself, I strongly believe that President Trump is right to highlight that there is only one party the Democrats excusing and permitting such anti-Jewish venom to be spewed so freely.” But Trump’s admonitions are unlikely to sway Jewish voters, who have overwhelmingly voted Democratic for decades. In 2018, AP VoteCast, a survey of the electorate, found that 72% of Jewish voters supported Democratic House candidates. And 74% said they disapproved of how Trump was handling his job. “There is no evidence whatsoever that American Jews are going to be more inclined to vote for Donald Trump and the Republican Party because of these attacks,” said Logan Bayroff, a spokesman for the progressive American Jewish group J Street. Furthermore, Bayroff predicted that Trump would have little success swaying swing voters. “All he’s doing is making himself toxic to American Jews and many other Americans who are more and more horrified by what he’s doing,” he said. Indeed, even some Trump allies concede that the president’s attempt to paint himself as more pro-Israel than Democrats is more likely to resonate with evangelical voters, who polls show are more supportive of Trump’s brand of pro-Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu-aligned policies than American Jews are. A Pew Research Center poll conducted in April, for instance, found 42% of Jewish Americans said Trump’s policies favored the Israelis

too much, versus just 26% of Christians who expressed that view. Among evangelical Protestants, who have proved to be among Trump’s most steadfast supporters, that number dropped to just 15% That could explain Trump’s Wednesday tweet quoting conservative radio host and conspiracy theorypusher Wayne Allyn Root saying that Israeli Jews “love” Trump “like he’s the King of Israel” and “the second coming of God” when American Jews “don’t know him or like him. They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore. It makes no sense!” Jews don’t believe in a second coming of God. Evangelicals, however, do. Trump on Tuesday announced in the Oval Office that he thinks that any Jewish person casting a ballot for a Democrat “shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.” On Wednesday, he doubled down, insisting that, “No president has ever done anywhere close to what I’ve done” for Israel, and blasting the congresswomen of color as “against Israel.” He insisted that his own language was in no way anti-Semitic, telling a reporter: “It’s only anti-Semitic in your head.” Neil Strauss, a spokesman for the Republican Jewish Coalition, defended the president’s comments and said Trump’s critics were trying to distract from the Democratic congresswomen — two of whom, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib — last week were denied entry to Israel by Netanyahu’s government in a move endorsed by Trump. Trump’s comments come “from a place of genuine support and admiration as evidenced by the fact that he’s the most pro-Israel president in history,” said Matt Brooks, the group’s executive director. “I’m very pleased with this contrast heading into 2020.”

Trump plans to end limits on child detention By Colleen Long and Amy Taxin Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is moving to end an agreement limiting how long migrant children can be kept in detention, the president’s latest effort to curb immigration at the Mexican border. A court fight is almost certain to follow, challenging the attempt to hold migrant families until asylum cases are decided. A current settlement overseen by the federal courts now requires the government to keep children in the least restrictive setting and to release them as quickly as possible, generally after 20 days in detention. Homeland Security officials say they are adopting their own regulations that reflect that “Flores

agreement,” which has been in effect since 1997. They say there is no longer a need for the court involvement, which was only meant to be temporary. But the new rules would allow the government to hold families in detention much longer than 20 days. It is the latest effort by the administration to tighten immigration, President Donald Trump’s signature issue, and is aimed at restricting the movement of asylum seekers in the country and deterring more migrants from crossing the border. The news immediately generated fresh outrage, following reports of dire conditions in detention facilities, and it is questionable whether courts will let the administration move forward with the policy. Trump defended it, saying: “I’m the one that kept the families together.”

But immigrant advocates and Democrats decried the new regulations, saying prolonged detention would traumatize immigrant children. “The administration is seeking to codify child abuse, plain and simple,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, said in a statement. Peter Schey, a lawyer for the immigrant children in the Flores case and president of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law, said if the regulations don’t match the settlement in that case, “they would be in immediate material breach, if not contempt of court.” “I think all these things are now part of the 2020 campaign,” Schey said. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Wednesday the regulations create

higher standards to govern family detention facilities. The facilities will be regularly audited, and the audits made public. The regulations are expected to be formally published Friday and go into effect in 60 days absent legal challenges. Holly Cooper, co-director of the immigration law clinic at University of California, Davis and a lawyer in the Flores case, said attorneys haven’t seen the final rule and will have a week to brief a federal judge, who will weigh whether they are consistent with the settlement. The government’s proposed rule, she said, wouldn’t have let lawyers monitor conditions in border facilities and would have dramatically changed how long children could be detained and the standards for their care. “We’re going to have a world that

looks a lot like the internment of families and children, where we have basically regularized prison as a default for families seeking political asylum in this country,” she told reporters. The rule follows moves last week to broaden the definition of a “public charge” to include immigrants on public assistance, potentially denying green cards to more immigrants. There was also a recent effort to effectively end asylum altogether at the southern border. There has been a drastic increase in the number of families crossing the border -- about 475,000 so far this budget year, nearly three times the previous full-year record for families. Most are released into the U.S. while their asylum requests wind through the courts -- a practice Trump has derided as “catch-and-release.”

Pentagon cancels billion-dollar missile defense project By Robert Burns Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is pulling the plug on a billiondollar, technically troubled project to build a better weapon that would destroy incoming missiles. The move is aimed in part at considering new approaches to missile defense at a time of rapid technological change. The announced reason for canceling the Boeing contract, effective Thursday, was that the project’s design problems were so significant as to be either insurmountable or too costly to correct. Beyond those immediate concerns, the Pentagon is considering whether it needs to start over with designing a defense against intercontinental-range ballistic missiles, such as those North Korea

aspires to build, as well as newly emerging types of missiles. One indication of that broader concern is the Pentagon’s statement that it will now invite industry competition to develop a “new, next-generation interceptor” — potentially a weapon that could take on hypersonic missiles being developed by China and Russia. The Pentagon currently has 44 missile interceptors based mostly in Alaska. Each is designed to be launched from an underground silo, soar beyond the Earth’s atmosphere and release a “kill vehicle” — a device that steers into its target and destroys it by force of collision. These weapons have been tested but never used in actual combat. It is that “kill vehicle” device that the Pentagon had asked Boeing to redesign so that it could be more reliable against the kind of

long-range missiles that North Korea has said it is building to target the U.S. The Pentagon had spent nearly $1.2 billion on the project when Michael Griffin, the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, decided last week to end it. In May he had ordered Boeing to stop its work, pending a decision on a way forward. “Ending the program was the responsible thing to do,” Griffin said in a statement Wednesday. “Development programs sometimes encounter problems. After exercising due diligence, we decided the path we’re going down wouldn’t be fruitful, so we’re not going down that path anymore.” Mark Wright, a spokesman for the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency, said details about the technical problems that led to the project’s

termination would not be released “due to the classified nature of the program.” Boeing said in a statement that it accepts the decision and supports the competition for a new missile interceptor. Michael Doble, a spokesman for Raytheon Co., which is a subcontractor, said the Pentagon is “updating its requirements in the face of an increasingly complex threat environment.” He said Raytheon supports the decision to end the contract. By saying it will now pursue a “next-generation interceptor,” the Pentagon revealed that it sees a requirement not only for a better “kill vehicle” but also an improved booster rocket. In other words, it may be aiming for a weapon that can defend against a wider array of missile threats. The cancellation raises questions

about the Pentagon’s continued reliance on the existing “kill vehicle” on its interceptor fleet in Alaska. The Pentagon has been authorized by Congress to increase the current fleet of 44 interceptors to 64. The additional 20 were to be equipped by 2023 with the redesigned “kill vehicle” under the Boeing contract. Now that the contract is being canceled, it seems likely that those additional 20 interceptors will not be fielded on time. Officials said the contract is being canceled “for convenience, not for cause,” meaning it was at the Pentagon’s discretion and not because Boeing was unable to fulfill the contract. “We will take lessons learned from the terminated program and apply them during the new competition,” Griffin said.

Greenland fallout: Trump scolds Denmark over rejection By Jan M. Olsen and Laurie Kellman Associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark— Escalating an international spat, President Donald Trump said Wednesday he scrapped his trip to Denmark because the prime minister made a “nasty” statement when she rejected his idea to buy Greenland as an absurdity. “You don’t talk to the United States that way, at least under me,” Trump told reporters in Washington. “I thought it was not a nice statement, the way she blew me off.” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the whole thing “an absurd discussion” and said she was “disappointed and surprised” that Trump had canceled his visit. Trump said Frederiksen’s comment labeling his idea as absurd “was nasty. I thought it was an inappropriate statement. All she had to

say was say, ‘No, we wouldn’t be interested.’” Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of the U.S. ally, and Frederiksen said the U.S. remains one of Denmark’s close allies. The political brouhaha over the world’s largest island comes from its strategic location in the Arctic. Global warming is making Greenland more accessible to potential oil and mineral resources. Russia, China, the U.S., Canada and other countries are racing to stake as strong a claim as they can to Arctic lands, hoping they will yield future riches. Trump was scheduled to visit Denmark on Sept. 2-3 as part of a European tour. But early Wednesday, he tweeted his decision to indefinitely postpone the trip. The move stunned Danes and blindsided the Danish royal palace. Spokeswoman Lene Balleby told The Associated Press that it came as “a surprise” to the royal household,

which had formally invited Trump. The U.S. State Department said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke Wednesday with his Danish counterpart and “expressed appreciation for Denmark’s cooperation as one of the United States’ allies and Denmark’s contributions to address shared global security priorities.” Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said Pompeo and Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeppe Kofod “also discussed strengthening cooperation with the Kingdom of Denmark including Greenland - in the Arctic.” On Tuesday, Trump tweeted, “Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time.” The vast island of Greenland sits between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans, has a population of

56,000 and has 80% of its land mass covered by a 660,000 square-mile) ice sheet. For all of Greenland’s appeal, scientists consider it the canary in the coal mine for climate change and say its massive ice sheet has seen one of its biggest melts on record this summer, contributing to a global rise in sea levels. Frederiksen said she is standing behind the government of Greenland. “A discussion about a potential sale of Greenland has been put forward. It has been rejected by Greenland Premier Kim Kielsen and I fully stand behind that rejection,” she told reporters in Copenhagen. Frederiksen, who took office two months ago in a minority Social Democratic government, went on to say that diplomatic relations between Copenhagen and Washington “are not in any crisis in my opinion” despite Trump’s canceled plans.

“The invitation for a stronger strategic cooperation with the Americans in the Arctic is still open,” Frederiksen said, adding “the United States is one of our closest allies.” Others in Denmark were not as gracious. Martin Lidegaard, a former Danish foreign minister, told broadcaster TV2 that it was “a diplomatic farce” and Trump’s behavior was “grotesque.” Trump’s cancellation was “deeply insulting to the people of Greenland and Denmark,” former Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt wrote on Twitter. Claus Oxfeldt, chairman of Denmark’s main police union, told Danish media that authorities had been busy planning the third visit by a sitting U.S. president to the Scandinavian NATO member. “It has created great frustrations to have spent so much time preparing for a visit that is canceled,” Oxfeldt was quoted as saying.

Germany’s Merkel dangles possibility of negotiated Brexit By Frank Jordans Associated Press

BERLIN — German Chancellor Angela Merkel raised the possibility that a negotiated departure for Britain from the European Union might still be possible even as the clock is ticking on a deal that would satisfy both sides. Speaking Wednesday alongside U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson before the two leaders held bilateral talks in Berlin, Merkel indicated that a solution for the contentious Irish border issue might yet be reached before the Brexit date of Oct. 31. “(We) might be able to find it in the next 30 days, why not?” Merkel told reporters. Her comments marked a departure from the pessimism that’s prevailed on both sides of the

English Channel in recent months. The EU has ruled out renegotiating the Brexit agreement hammered out with Britain last year. Johnson, for his part, says he will take Britain out of the bloc at the end of October without a deal unless the EU scraps the contentious backstop clause designed to prevent customs checkpoints along the Irish border. Johnson, on his first visit to Germany since becoming prime minister last month, welcomed the “blistering timetable of 30 days” Merkel suggested, but appeared to acknowledge that the ball is now in Britain’s court to avert an economically devastating no-deal Brexit by proposing a viable solution to the Irish border issue. “There are abundant solutions which are proffered, which have already been discussed,” Johnson

said, without elaborating. “I don’t think, to be fair, they have so far been very actively proposed over the last three years by the British government.” “You rightly say the onus is on us to produce those solutions, those ideas, to show how we can address the issue of the Northern Irish border and that is what we want to do,” he said. Johnson had insisted Monday that the Irish border backstop clause must be scrapped and replaced with “alternative arrangements” to regulate cross-border trade. The EU says the backstop is merely an insurance policy meant to avoid checkpoints between Ireland and Northern Ireland, which were a flashpoint for sectarian violence in the past, and won’t be needed if other solutions are

found for goods moving across the border. The backstop was part of the withdrawal agreement former British Prime Minister Theresa May negotiated with the EU, but it was rejected by the U.K. Parliament three times. Johnson’s stance, that Britain will leave the EU with or without a deal, has alienated many in Europe. The EU’s agriculture chief warned that if Britain crashes out without a deal Oct. 31, it would create a “foul atmosphere” that would spill over into any negotiations on a future trade deal between the two sides. Speaking in his native Ireland, EU Farm Commission Phil Hogan said the remaining 27 countries would “hold the line” and had made “detailed contingency plans for every outcome,” echoing the

view of many on the continent that a no-deal Brexit is now the most likely outcome. “Contrary to what the UK government may wish, the EU will not buckle,” he insisted. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier went so far Wednesday as to question whether Johnson was serious about seeking new Brexit talks or whether he was planning to blame the EU if they failed. Yet Johnson appeared emboldened Wednesday as he and Merkel faced reporters before holding talks. “We seek a deal. And I believe that we can get one,” he said, before quoting one of Merkel’s trademark phrases — “we can do it” — which the German chancellor repeatedly used when insisting that her country could cope with the migrant influx of 2015-2016.

Wildfires cancel prep sports, Lost Lake Run

KPBSD puts travel ban on athletic activities, Lost Lake Run makes decision to call off trail run By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

All outdoor athletic activities and events at or hosted by Kenai Peninsula Borough School District schools have been canceled until further notice, according to a press release from the district. That means all five high school varsity football games scheduled for Friday and Saturday will not be held on the peninsula. The travel restriction also canceled the annual Tsalteshi Invitational cross-country meet, which was to be hosted Saturday on the Tsalteshi Trails behind Skyview Middle School. Outside of high school sports, the Lost Lake Run near Seward has also been canceled due to poor air quality, according to a post on the event’s Facebook page. The 15.5-mile backcountry race takes runners from the Primrose Campground at the south end of Kenai Lake to the Bear Creek Fire Station near Seward. The event annually draws in hundreds of race applicants, with last year’s race bringing 665 runners.

The Lost Lake Run is a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis, a disease which affects the lungs, and organizers of the race noted that “it would be counter to our mission to place mountain race participants into an environment that could negatively impact their lung health.” The recent flare-up of the Swan Lake Fire over the weekend has pushed flames to the edge of the Sterling Highway between the communities of Sterling and Cooper Landing, necessitating the travel ban through that area for sports programs, said KPBSD Director of Communications Pegge Erkeneff. “This decision places a priority on the safety, health and well-being of our athletes, coaches, families and hundreds of students and their families from across the state who planned to travel to compete in sporting events on the Kenai Peninsula,” said Superintendent John O’Brien in the press release. “We thank all the emergency responders, firefighters and agencies who are working together in adverse conditions to keep everyone safe.”

With air quality rising to dangerous levels due to the smoke, the decision came to cancel all peninsula events. Erkeneff said that includes sports team practices held outdoors as well. Indoor practices and events would not be affected. “This is a dynamic situation,” Erkeneff said. “We’re working with emergency management and various agencies that look at the weather and air quality.” Indoor activities like the Homer Jamboree volleyball meet could still take place, although the Seward program would be unable to attend as it would require travel through the Cooper Landing corridor. The Kenai Central and Nikiski programs would still be able to attend. Also, the Seward cross-country team could still travel to compete at the ACS Quad meet Friday at Bartlett High School in Anchorage, since the route to Anchorage does not include the area around Cooper Landing, but Seward head coach Shelly Walker said that event would be dependent on air quality levels. The Seward swim and dive team are also scheduled to compete Saturday

at the Colony Invite. While football games on the peninsula are canceled, the possibility of moving venues remains. Soldotna head coach Galen Brantley Jr. said that the Stars program is exploring the possibility of flying the team up to Fairbanks to play their Friday night contest against West Valley, but several requirements would need to be met to do that. Brantley Jr. said that includes getting the approval of O’Brien, as well as figuring out flight plans, which have become busy in recent days with the multiple highway closures. “You can only control the things you can control,” Brantley Jr. said. “Wildfires across the state are something completely out of our control. Plus we’re a little banged up after playing West (in Week 1), so it’s probably not a horrible thing.” The cancelation of the weekend’s football games means local teams will have seven regular-season games this fall instead of the usual eight. Kenai Central was the only local program scheduled for a home game, with a Saturday game against

Division III Eielson at Ed Hollier Field. The Homer Mariners were scheduled to play on the road at Redington High School in the Matanuska-Susitna valleys, and the Nikiski Bulldogs were scheduled to travel to Fairbanks to play the Monroe Catholic Rams on Saturday. Kenai head coach Dustin Akana took the optimistic approach, saying the Kardinals will begin getting ready for their Week 3 opponent Lathrop. “It is what it is, it’s out of our hands,” Akana said. “We’ll probably start preparing for Lathrop.” Nikiski head coach Paul Nelson said the biggest obstacle presented by sports cancelations is working with a fluid schedule that could change by the hour. “It’s definitely tough,” he said. “We were primed, we had a good week of practice and were ready for a competitive game. When that gets taken away toward the end of the week, the kids miss the experience, we miss getting better. It’s hard to stay focused for two weeks of practice.”

Verlander wastes quality start, Tigers roll to win HOUSTON (AP) — Justin Verlander pitched a twohitter and lost, allowing homers to John Hicks and Ronny Rodriguez as the Detroit Tigers beat the Houston Astros 2-1 on Wednesday night. Hicks led off the ninth with a tiebreaking blast to left-center field off Verlander (15-5), who leads the majors in strikeouts with 239 but ranks second in homers allowed with 33. The veteran right-hander retired the first 14 batters, with six strikeouts, before Rodriguez homered to the seats in right with two outs in the fifth. Verlander sat down another 10 straight before Hicks connected.

Packers-Raiders to play game in Canada The Raiders’ worldwide tour gets started in the preseason when they play a “home” exhibition against Green Bay in Canada. The Raiders will be the first team to play games in three countries in one season; they also will play a “home” game in the regular season in London against Chicago on Oct. 6. “We’ll treat it like a normal road game,” coach Jon Gruden said of the visit to Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Thursday night. “We have to respond to a tough schedule. We are going to fly a lot of hours this year and we are going to play home games in

foreign countries. It doesn’t sound right, but that’s the facts.” Gruden will likely rest most of his regulars for this game, including quarterback Derek Carr and star receiver Antonio Brown. Brown has yet to make his Oakland debut as he has dealt with frostbitten feet and a fight with the NFL over his banned helmet. Thursday will be the third time the Packers have played a preseason game outside the United States. Green Bay defeated the Bills 35-3 in Toronto on Aug. 16, 1997, and beat Kansas City 27-24 in overtime in Tokyo on Aug. 2, 1998.

Haida story comes to the big screen Old Massett totem pole raising revisited in Christopher Auchter’s documentary ‘Now Is The Time’ By Alex Kurial Haida Gwaii Observer

“Imagine a world without art. Now imagine if you were the one to help bring it back.” These two lines, delivered by an animated Haida Spirit in the Haida language, capture the essence of Christopher Auchter’s new documentary film Now Is The Time, which was recently selected for viewing at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). In the 16-minute short documentary, Auchter revisits Old Massett on the day of Aug. 22, 1969, when the first totem pole raising in more than a century on Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, took place. Both Eagle and Raven clan members worked together to accomplish the task. Auchter was introduced to the idea while in discussions with the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) about an upcoming project. The NFB informed him that Haida Nation member Barbara Wilson had an idea for the 50th anniversary of the pole raising. “There’s this documentary that was done 50 years, and Barbara asked if something could be done in terms of re-editing,” Auchter explained. “It looked like it had a profound effect on our culture and the generation to follow, so those kind of things really grabbed me. But I needed to do a lot of research to tell it in an effective way, so that was a big journey for me.” The NFB’s Indian Film Crew, as they were known at the time, had filmed the pole raising process, following famed Haida carver Robert Davidson and the Old Massett community as they undertook the task. Auchter felt there were strong aspects to the film, but that it needed a much deeper dive to tell the full story. “I was really taken by the

imagery and seeing what Massett was like then, and all the people of the time,” Auchter said. “But I just didn’t feel like I got any information from it. It was all very poetic in the way it was told, but I felt like a lot was missing.” Auchter said the story needed a “Haida perspective,” and began to embark on the research necessary to properly tell it. “I talked to Barbara Wilson first,” Auchter said. Wilson was present at the pole raising ceremony that day. She has been a prominent academic in the Haida community, and this summer received her graduate degree in curriculum and instructional foundation from Simon Fraser University. “She gave me the first anecdotes. I talked to Robert [Davidson] and got a lot of really great information from him.” Both Wilson and Davidson provide their insights throughout the course of Now Is The Time, and Auchter credits both for sparking creative ideas to pursue in the film. Auchter and his team were able to process the original 35 and 16mm footage into 4K resolution, but ran into a roadblock when they discovered that despite possessing all the archival footage from 50 years ago, the accompanying audio had been lost. This created the task of searching for ways to recreate it. “What were they saying? What was the feel like? What happened to all the totem poles?” The answers would lie at the BC Archives in Victoria. “It was a big eureka moment when I actually heard first hand accounts from the audio recordings at the archives,” Auchter said. He proceeded to weave these accounts into the film to transport viewers back to the day. “I wanted to capture what it was like on Aug. 22, 1969. I wanted

The first totem pole raising in almost a century took place in Old Massett, Britsh Columbia, in August 1969.

to convey planting the audience there, like they’re in and amongst it, so that they could hear the sounds and the first hand accounts,” Auchter said. The relationship turned out to be beneficial for both sides. Margaret Blackman, a well known anthropologist who has worked extensively on Haida Gwaii, and now mayor of Brockport, NY, was a key source of information for Auchter. She assisted him with a number of tapes and interviews during his research, which were then added to the BC Archives to enhance their collection. Auchter’s main goal with the documentary was to show what a momentous occasion this day was for the Haida Nation, serving as a spiritual reawakening after the devastation incurred by the removal of their totem poles after pressure by missionaries. “I hope that they take away that it was a big moment in our history,” Auchter said. “There was no real art being created, and it looked like it was a dying race.”

A 1964 clip included in the film speculates (erroneously, as we now know,) that Davidson may be the last Haida carver. The effect the pole raising had at the time though was anything but certain. Despite the gravity of the occasion, it had been so long that many wondered if one pole could spark a robust renewal of Haida art. “There are some beautiful statements from Barbara Wilson that day accounting how much of a dire straight it was with our art form in our culture,” Auchter said. “She’s very proud about the pole going up, but she didn’t know if it was going to be enough.” “When you look at it today, Haida art is thriving with the dancing, the singing, the potlatches and the art that’s been done. It was very different Aug. 22, 1969,” Auchter said. “It became a starting point again, and the wave that came from that day, it’s pushed to shore all this new art from the new generation.”

Auchter’s animation roots — his directorial debut came with the animated short film Mountain of SGaana in 2017 — are revisited through a number of scenes, including those with the Haida Spirit. He says this was important to engage a younger audience. “I didn’t want this story to go in one ear and out the other. So I thought animation is a nice bridge into that, it helps spark their imagination,” Auchter explained. “It would help show them the magic of our work, and help inspire in that way.” Now that the film is headed to TIFF, Auchter is excited for the possibility for this powerful Haida story to reach a global audience. “I hope that I created a film that even if you’re not from the culture, even if you’re from the other side of the world and you don’t know what Haida art is or what Haida is, that the story is still interesting,” Auchter said. TIFF starts on Sep. 5, with a full schedule of screenings being released on Aug. 20.

A memorably horrific wedding night in ‘Ready or Not’ By Mark Kennedy Associated Press

Traditionally, weddings usually lead to some fun and games in the bedroom for the happy and exhausted couple. In the new horror-thriller “Ready or Not,” that’s definitely true — but the games aren’t always fun. Samara Weaving has a breakout performance as a new bride who tries to stay alive until dawn after her wedding day as her in-laws hunt her down and try to kill her. (Talk about an awkward brunch the next morning.) It’s a well-plotted film that excellently mixes gore and humor while also offering some social commentary by torching the clueless rich. Weaving plays Grace, a foster kid who yearns for family, who marries Alex Le Domas, the scion of a wealthy family that built its fortune on games. Whenever a new member tries to join the clan, they have a “weird family ritual” — they play a game. Sometimes it’s checkers or Old Maid. Sometimes its hunt-down-the-newcomer. This last possibility is not exactly well communicated by her betrothed, surely a candidate for Worst Groom Ever, played by

Mark O’Brien. “It’s not too late to flee, you know,” he tells her. She replies, but without knowing the full consequences: “No, thank you. I’m all the way in.” Grace then, unfortunately, picks the most dangerous game of all. But this time, the Le Domas family has found a worthy challenger. Grace will not go quietly, ripping her wedding dress so she can be more mobile — a nod to Uma Thurman’s angry bride in “Kill Bill” — ditching her heels for a pair of Converse high tops and fighting back. “This doesn’t end well for you,” she is warned. “Ready or Not ” has a script by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, who seem to have played many games of Clue, and is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, as well as executive produced by Chad Villella, the latter trio collectively known as Radio Silence. The filmmakers have a fun time chasing the bride and an ever-exasperated family — which includes a deliciously nasty Andie MacDowell as well as Kristian Bruun, Melanie Scrofano, Henry Czerny, Nicky Guadagni, Adam Brody and Elyse Levesque — but they also have time for some digs

“Ready or Not” HHH Rating: R, for violence, bloody images, language throughout and some drug use at the hypocritical ultra-wealthy. The poor Le Domas servants are the first to meet their demise, mowed down by accident by the drug- or drink-addled aristocrats. “Why does this always happen to me?” one rich in-law wails after her crossbow shoots an arrow into a maid’s skull. A portrait emerges of a family desperate to hold onto its exclusivity and privilege, even to the point of murder. “It’s true what they say. The rich really are different,” one of them explains. They may wear dinner jackets for dinner but they’re truly savage. Why is this family named Le Domas? Is it a subtle dig at The Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA? Is it perhaps an anagram for “Lame Dos”? Maybe it’s a knock on European-loving Yanks? Could it be a crude schoolyard taunt? Who knows? We’re never told. It remains an insider joke.

Samara Weaving plays a bride who tries to stay alive until dawn on her wedding day in ”Ready or Not.”

What gets wonderfully communicated is Grace’s will and power. Weaving, the niece of Hugo Weaving (“Lord of the Rings,” ”The Matrix”), has a comfort with horror — she’s been in the series “Ash vs Evil Dead” and “The Babysitter” — but absolutely shines in this tricky role. She’s vulnerable, deadpan funny, scared and resolute, turning a role that could have been one-dimensional into

something vibrant and authentic. Toward the end, she seems to draw on such wells of anger and fury that she makes haunting animal noises. If this actress — probably best known for a memorable turn in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” — often gets confused with Margot Robbie, a few more roles like this and that may end. She’s murderously good.

‘Easy Rider’ star, 1960s swashbuckler Peter Fonda dies at 79 By Lindsey Bahr and Andrew Dalton Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Actor Peter Fonda, the son of a Hollywood legend who became a movie star in his own right after both writing and starring in the counter-culture classic “Easy Rider,” died Friday at his home of complications from lung cancer. He was 79. “I am very sad,” Jane Fonda said in a statement. “He was my sweethearted baby brother. The talker of the family. I have had beautiful alone time with him these last days. He went out laughing.” Born into Hollywood royalty as Henry Fonda’s only son, Peter Fonda carved his own path with his non-conformist tendencies and earned an Oscar nomination for co-writing the psychedelic road trip movie “Easy Rider.” He would never win that golden statuette, but he would later be nominated for his leading performance as a Vietnam veteran and widowed beekeeper in “Ulee’s Gold.” Fonda was born in New York in 1940 to parents whose personas were the very opposite of the rebellious images their kids would cultivate. Father Henry Fonda was already a Hollywood giant, known for playing straight-shooting cowboys and soldiers. Mother Frances Ford Seymour was a Canadian-born U.S. socialite. He was only 10 years old when his mother died. She had a nervous breakdown after learning of her husband’s affair and was confined to a hospital. In 1950, she killed herself. It would be about five years before Peter Fonda learned the truth behind her death. Fonda accidentally shot himself and nearly died on his 11th birthday. It was a story he told often, including during an acid trip with

members of The Beatles and The Byrds during which Fonda reportedly said, “I know what it’s like to be dead.” John Lennon would use the line in The Beatles song “She Said She Said.” Fonda went to private schools in Massachusetts and Connecticut as a child, moving on to the University of Nebraska in his father’s home state, joining the same acting group — the Omaha Community Playhouse — where Henry Fonda got his start. He then returned to New York and joined the Cecilwood Theatre, getting small roles on Broadway and guest parts on television shows including “Naked City” and “Wagon Train.” Fonda had an estranged relationship with his father throughout most of his life, but he said that they grew closer over the years before Henry Fonda died in 1982. “Peter is all deep sweetness, kind and sensitive to his core. He would never intentionally harm anything or anyone. In fact, he once argued with me that vegetables had souls (it was the ’60s),” his sister Jane Fonda said in her 2005 memoir. “He has a strange, complex mind that grasps and hangs on to details ranging from the minutiae of his childhood to cosmic matters, with a staggering amount in between. Dad couldn’t appreciate and nurture Peter’s sensitivity, couldn’t see him as he was. Instead he tried to shame Peter into his own image of stoic independence.” Although Peter never achieved the status of his father or even his older sister, the impact of “Easy Rider,” which just celebrated its 50th anniversary, was enough to cement his place in popular culture. Fonda collaborated with another struggling young actor,

Peter Fonda, the son of a Hollywood legend who became a movie star in his own right both writing and starring in counterculture classics like‚ “Easy Rider,” died Friday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 79.

Dennis Hopper, on the script about two weed-smoking, drugslinging bikers on a trip through the Southwest as they make their way to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. On the way, Fonda and Hopper befriend a drunken young lawyer — Jack Nicholson in a breakout role — but raise the dander of Southern rednecks and are murdered before they can return home. Fonda’s character Wyatt wore a stars-and-stripes helmet and rode a motorcycle called “Captain America,” re-purposing traditional images for the counter-culture. Actress Illeana Douglas tweeted her condolences Friday with the hashtag “RIPCaptainAmerica.” “‘Easy Rider’ depicted the rise of hippie culture, condemned the establishment, and celebrated freedom,” Douglas wrote. “Peter Fonda embodied those values and instilled them in a generation.” Fonda had played bikers before “Easy Rider.” In the 1966 Roger Corman-directed “Wild Angels,”

in which he plays Heavenly Blues, leader of a band of Hells Angels, Fonda delivers a speech that could’ve served as both a personal mantra and a manifesto for the youth of the ’60s. “We wanna be free!” Fonda tells a preacher in the film. “We wanna be free to do what we wanna do. We wanna be free to ride. We wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man! And we wanna get loaded!” Fonda produced “Easy Rider” and Hopper directed it for a meager $380,000. It went on to gross $40 million worldwide, a substantial sum for its time. The film was a hit at Cannes, netted a best screenplay Oscar nomination for Fonda, Hopper and Terry Southern, and has since been listed on the American Film Institute’s ranking of the top 100 American films. The establishment gave its official blessing in 1998 when “Easy Rider” was included in the United States National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically,

or aesthetically significant.” In 1969, he told The Associated Press that, “As for my generation, it was time they started doing their own speaking. There has been too much of the ‘silent majority’ — at both ends of the generation gap.” He did reflect later in a 2015 interview with The Hollywood Reporter that it may have impacted his career prospects: “It certainly put a nail in the coffin of ‘the next Dean Jones at Disney.’ “ Fonda’s output may have been prolific, but he was not always well-regarded, which he was acutely aware of. But he said that “Ulee’s Gold,” which came out in 1997, was the “most fun” he’d ever had making a movie. He wore the same wire-rimmed glasses his father wore in “On Golden Pond,” although he said beyond that he was not channeling Henry Fonda in the performance. He lost out on the Oscar to Nicholson, who won for “As Good as It Gets.” Nicholson said in his acceptance speech that it as an honor to be nominated alongside “my old bike pal Fonda.” He remained prolific for the rest of his life with notable performances as the heel in Steven Soderbergh’s “The Limey,” from 1999, and in James Mangold’s 2007 update of “3:10 to Yuma.” He’d even play himself in an episode of the spoof documentary series “Documentary Now!” about life as “an Oscar Bridesmaid.” Fonda is survived by his third wife, Margaret DeVogelaere, his daughter, actress Bridget Fonda and son, Justin, both from his first marriage to Susan Brewer. “In one of the saddest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriate words to express the pain in our hearts,” the family said in a statement. “As we grieve, we ask that you respect our privacy.”

New ‘Matrix’ film set with Keanu Reeves and Lana Wachowski LOS ANGELES — Keanu Reeves and Lana Wachowski are returning to the world of “The Matrix.” Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich says Tuesday that a fourth “Matrix” is in the works. Reeves will be reprising his role as Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss will return as Trinity in the film that will be co-written, directed and produced by Wachowski, who co-created “The Matrix” with Lilly Wachowski. Lana Wachowski says in a statement that the ideas of “The Matrix” are more relevant than ever now and she’s happy to have the characters back in her life. Emmerich says Wachowski is a true visionary. The first film hit theaters 20 years ago and spawned two sequels that cumulatively made more than $1.6 billion at the global box office. No release date has been set.

25th Bond movie gets a title:

‘No Time to Die’ NEW YORK — The 25th James Bond movie has a title: “No Time to Die.” Producers announced the moniker Tuesday for the film that has long been referred to simply as “Bond 25.” “No Time to Die” returns Daniel Craig to the role of 007. Lea Seydoux, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw and Ralph Fiennes return as cast members. Rami Malek plays the villain. “No Time to Die,” directed by Cary Fukunaga, is to be released in the U.K. on April 3, 2020, and in the United States on April 8.

Judge to rule on tossing suit against Smollett in October CHICAGO — A federal judge hearing the city of Chicago’s lawsuit against Jussie Smollett says she’ll rule on the actor’s request to toss the suit in October. The 10-minute status hearing Tuesday was the first since the civil case was moved to federal court from state court. The former “Empire” actor didn’t attend the hearing in Chicago. The city accuses Smollett of staging a racist and anti-gay attack against himself in January. It sued to force Smollett to pay $130,000 in police overtime and other expenses after state prosecutors dropped charges accusing him of filing a false

report. The defense motion to dismiss earlier this month calls the bid to recoup costs a “perverse tactic” since charges were dismissed. They maintain the attack was real. The next status hearing is Oct. 22.

Jury to weigh lawsuit against writer Sparks RALEIGH, N.C. — A jury will decide whether the former head of a private Christian school that novelist Nicholas Sparks founded in his North Carolina hometown was unjustly fired, then defamed when the author said the educator suffered from mental illness. Attorneys are expected to summarize their evidence Wednesday before jurors begin deliberating whether Saul Hillel Benjamin resigned or was pushed out. Jurors also will decide whether Sparks, his foundation and Epiphany School of Global Studies owe Benjamin money. Sparks and the school are based in New Bern, about 120 miles east of Raleigh, where the federal trial is being held. Sparks says Benjamin lied about his experience and job performance and also caused a series of campus conflicts that justified his firing. Sparks says Benjamin accepted $150,000 to resign instead. — Associated Press

Wyatt wants to go to our local university, which offers the degree program he wants. He said: “I can go to the local school. You and Dad won’t have to pay room and board or out-of-state tuition, and I can keep my job and help pay for groceries or help with tuition.” For some reason, that statement means nothing to my husband. He wants Wyatt out of the house. Should I let my husband duke it out with our son because I have already stated my opinion more than once, or keep arguing that Wyatt should pick the college? This whole thing is stressing our son out because he wants to please his father, and I’m tired of my husband coming down on me for how I raised our son. — CHALLENGED IN NEW MEXICO

Crossword | Eugene Sheffer

DEAR CHALLENGED: I have to wonder if there is some other issue going on between your husband and your son that you didn’t mention. Wyatt appears to be thinking logically. He’s working and has offered to contribute to the household expenses. Many parents would be thrilled their son chose a school nearby. That your husband would label your son a “mama’s boy” and toss him out of the house is not helpful; it is hostile. Criticizing you for the way Wyatt has been raised is a cheap shot. Before making up your mind, talk to Wyatt’s guidance counselor at school. If the person knows your son, it could prove helpful to hear his or her perspective.

seward salmon derby

Weekend Almanac

Fractions of a pound make all the difference

Thursday

By Kat Sorensen Peninsula Clarion

The Seward Silver Salmon Derby ended in a close competition this weekend, with the top three fish just barely missing the 16-pound mark. “This is the most competitive tournament we’ve seen in recent years,” said Seward Chamber of Commerce Communications Director Jen Leahy. “The top three fish were separated by only a few fractions of a pound.” First place, and $10,000, went to Michelle Murray, of Eagle River, with a silver weighing 15.99 pounds. Second place and $5,000 went to Angela Garner, of Wichita, Kansas, with a 15.97-pound fish and third place and $2,500 was taken by Ron Goodwin, of Wasilla, with a 15.96-pound fish. Each of the top three winners also took home the entire weight of their winning fish in Kaladi Brothers Coffee. This was Murray’s first year participating in the Silver Salmon Derby, Leahy said. She was fishing with her children for the first time and didn’t realize the significance of her fish until she saw the look on her dad’s face. The tournament ran from Aug. 10 through Aug. 18 and invited anglers from all over to fish the waters outside of Seward for the returning silver salmon. Unlike Murray, most anglers return year after year to partake in the competition. “What sets our derby apart is our community of dedicated anglers,” Leahy said. “For several generations of Alaskans, this has become an end-of-summer tradition and a celebration of our salmon culture.” The competition may have closed but Leahy

anymore because it looked like they were using an exceptionally rare fish processing technique known to produce the same results as a blunt bladed, industrial wood chipper. He said I should give them a break because they were three fingers short of finishing off a bottle of Kentucky Deluxe. I said that I if they kept wielding their knives like that, they’d end up three fingers short without the bourbon and suggested using a designated filleter the next time around. As he watched them continue to turn their fish into something resembling a tub of Malt O Meal, the gent mumbled “Point taken” and ambled in angles back to their campsite. Jeez.

into September,” she said. According to Fish and Game, there still aren’t any solid reports of silvers being caught from shore in Seward. The fish are being caught just past Caines Head.

Smoky days didn’t stop Nick from catching some righteous cohos ast week was a bit wild with the fire flare ups, road closures and hanging smoke. Until the winds finally showed up, the inside of our cabin smelled like we had our heads hanging over dead coals in the wood stove. The outside atmosphere was worse. Note: Maybe the recent heat got to me, but has anyone else noticed that we have a lack of song birds and other little tweeters around the area lately? Is it normal migration or did some of them jet south to the Death Valley to cool off and catch a breath of fresh air? On the positive side, my silver, 3-red-dot, Z-Ray struck gold with the coho at a double pinky swear, super-secret site a friend of mine frequents near the mouth of a river when we hit it at the yawn of dawn. Those fighters tumbled across the surf like aerial acrobats in the Cirque du Soleil. It wasn’t just me having fun. Several hot-stick boats in our local charter fleet continued to flash wicked coho catches, with a few kings thrown in, on their Facebook pages while others featured hefty flats and/or pics of a plethora of assorted rockfish. I spotted one lingcod being tossed onto a harbor cleaning table that looked like it had swallowed someone’s comfort pony. At another cleaning area, while watching a couple whacking to pieces what used to be a perfect specimen of a 30-pound halibut, a not-so-sober gentleman sauntered up and asked what I thought of his friends’ fish. I told him that I couldn’t tell

remarkable. Scan for schools of dollies in the deeper pools. Flip some dry flies and bead-headed nymphs for uppity fish that won’t pay attention to just beads. There are a decent number of silvers in the lower portions of the Anchor and Ninilchik rivers, and Deep Creek. Fishing has been so-so to fair with rookie fish continuing to show up. Floating eggs under a bobber just prior to and at the break of day will give you a good shot at nailing some coho.

Saltwater Fishing Salmon Fishing for silvers in the Nick Dudiak Lagoon kicked down to near life support status when the previously mentioned nets went in, but there are still some mesh dodgers being caught on salmon eggs during the changing tides. Hopefully, there will be some late arrivals after the gill sets catch their allotted take. Trolling near the Homer Spit is still yielding silver action along with a few blackmouths. Silver and king fishing remains a crap shoot throughout the rest of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet with various success ratios at Point Pogibshi, the south side of the bay, and out at Silver Ridge. Halibut Halibut are still being hauled in closer to the Spit and within the inner bay, but most of the righteous slams are happening in the outer Kachemak Bay areas and beyond.

A seriously deceased herring on a circle hook is customarily the most reliable ‘but slayer. Jigs also work well if you get tired of dragging an empty hook and various weights out of 200-plus feet of the salty. Other Saltwater Fishing Lingcod and nonpelagic rockfish stalkers continue to cruise well outside of Kachemak Bay for frequent good hunting. Drift over rocky pinnacles while using jigs if you are looking for meaningful hookup with a dashingly handsome ling.
