In the news Two named to state human rights commission JUNEAU — Gov. Mike Dunleavy has appointed two new members to the state human rights commission. He appointed Jamie Allard of Eagle River to a seat that had been held by Marcus Sanders and Kyle Foster of Anchorage to a seat vacated by David Barton. Dunleavy spokesman Matt Shuckerow says Barton resigned last week to be considered for the commission’s executive director position. Sanders served on the commission a few months. He was newly appointed to a suicide prevention council. The commission’s former executive director resigned in April after calling out on social media a “Black Rifles Matter” sticker on a truck in the commission’s parking lot she considered racist. There was a subsequent board shake-up.
Police: 2 boys held for alleged threat JUNEAU — Police in Juneau say two 13-yearold boys were arrested after allegedly threatening a school shooting. The Juneau Police Department in a release say the boys were taken to a local youth detention center on felony charges of second-degree terroristic threatening. The release states that police received a report Wednesday night of the alleged threat made by two students against a Juneau middle school.
30-year sentence for attempted murder of officer ANCHORAGE — A 30-year-old man convicted of trying to kill an Anchorage police officer has been sentenced to more than 30 years in prison. Pagopago Beefcake Lelilio, 31, was convicted Oct. 23 of attempted first-degree murder, assault and weapons misconduct. Police investigating a gunshot on July 17, 2018, saw Lelilio jump out of a parked truck and flee. Lelilio fired a shot from a .40 caliber pistol in his jacket pocket. The bullet struck ground near the face of Officer Ryan Proegler. — Associated Press

Officials address Sterling’s concerns By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
Residents of Cooper Landing got a break from heavy smoke conditions Thursday. The Great Basin Incident Management Team reported clear air in Cooper Landing Thursday afternoon, which allowed aviation resources to be used in suppression efforts for the Swan Lake Fire. The Sterling Highway didn’t experience any closures on Thursday, which was a change of pace from recent days. Most of the closures have been a result of heavy smoke conditions that impair visibility, especially Brian Mazurek / Peninsula Clarion when the smoke mixes with Residents attend a community meeting in Sterling to discuss the Swan Lake Fire on Thursday. early morning fog.

Dense smoke forces central peninsula air-quality warning By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
Central peninsula residents woke up to a dense haze Thursday, as winds pushed smoke created by the ongoing Swan Lake Fire to the west. A dense smoke advisory is in effect for the Kenai Peninsula until Friday afternoon, and dense smoke will be noticed in Kenai, Soldotna and Homer, according to a release from the National Weather Service. Pam Szatanek, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service, said the wind shift may give the eastern peninsula a reprieve from heavy smoke. The Alaska Wildland Fire Information, an interagency service providing wildland fire information for the state, notes the communities of Sterling, Soldotna, Kenai and Homer would have seen the most smoke Thursday, decreasing
air quality. According to their update, smoke will move out to the east Friday with another wind shift — impacting eastern peninsula communities like Cooper Landing and Seward. The update says Soldotna experienced air quality measurements in the unhealthy and very unhealthy ranges. Wednesday evening, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District canceled all outdoor sporting events until further notice, including the upcoming varsity football games scheduled for all five high schools for Friday and Saturday and the annual Tsalteshi Invitational crosscountry meet — which was to be hosted Saturday on the Tsalteshi Trails behind Skyview Middle School. The heavy smoke is impacting other local events, including the final race of
the Soldotna Cycle Series at Tsalteshi Trails. The race was slated to occur Thursday night, but has been postponed until Aug. 29, conditions permitting. “As always, racers need to make their own decisions about their capability to ride, whether that is through poor air conditions, or challenges in the trail,” an update from Tsalteshi Trails Association said. 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 15.5mile 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.
wrong side of the line during a closure, Sterling feared that he would be unable to get to his house due to congested traffic. Sterling suggested having a pilot car specifically designated to escort local residents during those situations so that people can still access their homes. Phil Whittemore, also from Sterling, echoed the concerns about the highway closures. Whittemore said that some of the local businesses have had trouble keeping their shelves stocked because the trucks carrying the goods are unable to reach the central peninsula. “I’m fortunate enough to have a plane in case I need to fly to Anchorage for food or medicine,” Whittemore said. “But not everybody has that option.” Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, attended the See Fire, Page A2
Peninsula drought gets even worse By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
The Kenai Peninsula is abnormally dry for this time of year. “To have this much drought is not normal,” Pam Szatanek, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service, said. The peninsula has received little to no rain this August, during what is typically the wet season. The Kenai area hasn’t received measurable amounts of rain since July 28, or for 25 days. The U.S. Drought Monitor placed the Kenai Peninsula in a moderate drought stage Aug. 8. The weekly monitor of national drought conditions updated the ranking Aug. 22 to show a portion of the northern peninsula
is suffering an extreme drought. A majority of the Kenai Peninsula was measured to be in a severe drought. The southern most part of the peninsula is experiencing a moderate drought. Rain doesn’t look likely in the upcoming sevenday forecast, Szatanek said. “There may be isolated showers out of a low-pressure movement coming through, but we’re being optimistic,” she said. “Honestly, we’re not expecting any kind of storm for the next seven days.” Kenai received 1.51 inches of rainfall between June 1 and Aug. 12, a nearly 40% decrease from the average 3.88 inches of rainfall for the area.
Caribou Lake Fire outside Homer continues to threaten By Megan Pacer Homer News
One fire is nearly contained and another is still growing in size in the wildlands outside of Homer. The Caribou Lake Fire, which began Monday about 25 miles northeast of Homer, has grown to about 800 acres according to a Thursday morning update on the Alaska Interagency Fire Information Office website. It is about 10% contained. The North Fork Fire, which
started on Sunday evening, is burning about 1.5 miles from the Sterling Highway between Anchor Point and Homer. It was 50% contained as of Thursday morning, said Sam Harrel, a public information office with the Alaska Division of Forestry. Harrel said crews working on the North Fork Fire hoped to be close to completing a bulldozer line around the fire and reaching full containment by the end of Thursday. See homer, Page A3

Dunleavy bringing back member of marijuana board By Becky Bohrer Associated Press
JUNEAU — Gov. Mike Dunleavy is bringing back a marijuana advocate to the board that regulates Alaska’s legal cannabis industry after his earlier appointment of a marijuana skeptic was rejected by lawmakers. Dunleavy’s office said
Thursday that he has appointed Bruce Schulte to the Marijuana Control Board. Schulte was involved in the 2014 initiative that legalized the use of marijuana by people 21 and older in Alaska. He previously served on the board and was a chairman. Schulte was booted in 2016 by then-Gov. Bill Walker,
whose spokeswoman at the time said Schulte’s approach to the staff and administrative process was not satisfactory and that Walker wanted a change. Schulte had said he butted heads with then-Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office Director Cynthia Franklin. She no longer holds that position.
Earlier this year, Dunleavy appointed Vivian Stiver to a seat that had been held by Brandon Emmett, an industry representative. At the time, Dunleavy spokesman Matt Shuckerow said it was no secret that Stiver “holds a certain skepticism for legal marijuana use,” a view he said other Alaskans shared. But he said Dunleavy
thought she would bring a valuable perspective to the board, which has public health, rural, public safety and industry representation. Stiver was involved in a failed 2017 effort to ban marijuana operations in Fairbanks, and her appointment was criticized by the industry. See board, Page A2

meeting and said that he and the other peninsula legislators will be presenting the borough’s disaster emergency proclamation to Gov. Mike Dunleavy Friday in the hopes that he makes state resources available for relief efforts. Micciche said that he expects the governor to be supportive of the efforts. “We’ve got some specific requests in there. For example, the Type 1 team doesn’t direct traffic, so we’re hoping to get some DOT resources down here to make that happen,” Micciche said. Micciche said that he also encouraged the incident management team to hold more frequent community meetings in order to keep people informed. Helicopters spent Thursday dropping water on an area south of the Kenai River and west of Cooper Landing, according to the latest update from the incident management team. Public Information Officer Michael Davis said on Thursday afternoon in an interview with Clarion that this area has been difficult to reach for crews on the ground due to recent flooding. “All of the commercial fisherman are pulling their tours out of there, and they’re the experts around here so we’ve been following their lead,” Davis said.

and began establishing control lines in that area to prevent the fire’s spread to the east on the south side of the river. The control line on the western perimeter of the fire has been completed from the Sterling Highway south to Skilak Lake, and Davis said that crews are now bringing in miles of fire hose to “plumb” that line. Plumbing the line creates a junction every 50 to 100 feet that will allow firefighters to spray water anywhere up and down the line and defend it from fire growth. Davis said that wind has started to push to the west and will test this completed line. Meanwhile, the control line that was established weeks ago on the north side of the highway has been holding, and the latest
monitoring has not shown any growth in that area. Davis said that the incident management is not lacking for resources, personnel or equipment due to the high priority of the Swan Lake Fire. “Basically the only fire activity in the U.S. is here in Alaska, and this is the number one fire in the nation, so we’re able to pull any resources we need from the Lower 48,” Davis said. Davis said that the incident management team has been conscious of the taxpayer money used to manage the fire. So far Swan Lake Fire operations have cost about $25.4 million, according to data from the National Interagency Coordination Center Incident Management Situation Report. Because no big wind
events are forecasted for the area, Davis said that the management team is confident that crews on the ground will be able to establish control lines without significant growth. The latest infrared mapping puts the fire at 142,542 acres. Davis is from Colorado and has been a public information officer for nearly a decade, as well as an EMT and firefighter in his hometown of Hotchkiss. Davis said that what makes managing the Swan Lake Fire unique is the number of high priority targets that require protection, such as the communities of Sterling and Cooper Landing, the Enstar gas line, the Moose research center and public use cabins in the area. “Every square inch is worth fighting for,” Davis said.

Commerce Department Commissioner Julie Anderson outlined for employees Dunleavy’s plans for that department. A section on expected legislation from Dunleavy included repeal of the Alcoholic Beverage Control and Marijuana Control boards, with the intent to transfer the authority and responsibilities of the boards to the commissioner. Such legislation was not
introduced this year. Cary Carrigan, executive director of the Alaska Marijuana Industry Association, praised Schulte’s appointment. Schulte said the message he sensed from the administration is that it wants business to succeed. “This certainly appears to be a step in that direction and if that is the goal, then I’m happy to help,” he said.

Currently fighting the North Fork Fire are water tenders from the Anchor Point Emergency Services and Homer Volunteer Fire Department, the Zigzag Hotshot crew from Washington and Alaska’s Yukon Type 2 Initial Attack Crew, according to the Alaska Interagency Fire Information Office. The fire has not grown past 59 acres, according to the online update. “A low-pressure trough approaching from the north will bring little precipitation to the fires but gusty and erratic winds will again challenge containment lines,” the update reads. “Firefighters on both fires will continue to hold the lines they have constructed and improve their perimeters.” Between 18-26 structures have the potential to be threatened by fire at Caribou Lake, Bureau of Land Management Public Information Officer Bridget Bushue told the Homer News

firefighting operations on that blaze is being transferred to the team currently in charge of administration at the Swan Lake Fire, Harrel said. This change, which will become effective Friday morning, will not result in any changes noticeable to the public or alter firefighting tactics, he said. Rather, having the Swan Lake Fire team take over administration of the Caribou Lake Fire means the crews on the ground will be supported by the team set up in Sterling when it comes to resources and supplies. The administrative team in Sterling will help crews fighting the southern Kenai Peninsula fires get orders filled and make sure their needs are met when it comes to food, water and supplies, Harrel said. The incident commander in charge of the Swan Lake Fire will also become the incident commander of the Caribou Lake Fire. People who live on North Fork Road north of that fire and those living along Diamond Ridge Road to the south of the fire are still on a Level 1 “Ready” notice.
This means they should be ready for a potential evacuation, but does not mean they should leave currently. Smoke and haze continues to impact the entire Kenai Peninsula. Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce has declared a disaster emergency throughout the borough due to the number of structures threatened by the fire and the impact smoke is having on transportation on the peninsula. The Sterling Highway has been temporarily closed and reopened several times in the last few days between Sterling and Cooper Landing. Those communities will continue to see the greatest impacts from smoke, according to a smoke outlook report posted to the Alaska Interagency Fire Information Office website. “However, the eastern side should see some improvements as smoke is pushed to the west,” the report reads. “Sterling, Soldotna, Kenai to south Homer will see the most smoke (Thursday) which will decrease air quality. Expect smoke to move out to the east (Friday) with another wind shift.”

New rule is a blow to women’s health
P
lanned Parenthood made a difficult but principled decision to reject federal grants that came with an untenable condition: that participants in the program known as Title X could not refer women for abortions. The Trump administration’s new rules on Title X funding represent an outrageous intrusion of politics into reproductive decisions. Planned Parenthood has always maintained that patients should be presented with a full range of medical options. That also was federal policy — until now. Under the new rules, organizations that receive Title X funding would be able to discuss abortion with patients, but could not refer them to an abortion provider or even let them know where the procedure is available. The Trump administration is layering additional requirements including restrictions on which staff members can discuss abortion with patients and forcing clinics to financially and physically separate themselves from facilities that provide abortions. One of the effects of the new policy is that it opens Title X funding to faith-based organizations that do not want to tell patients about all reproductive options, including abortion. Planned Parenthood, the largest recipient of Title X funding at $60 million a year, must now scramble for other revenue sources in order to maintain services such as birth control, pregnancy testing and the screening for cancer and sexually transmitted diseases it provides to more than 1.5 million women each year. Ever so predictably, the Trump administration has been trying to suggest that Planned Parenthood and other women’s-health groups — rather than a new government policy — should be to blame for jeopardizing these services. “They are abandoning their obligations to serve their patients under the program,” the Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement Monday. This policy needs to be reversed, whether by legal action (California has joined other states in a lawsuit) or congressional legislation. It’s shameful and dangerous to play politics with women’s health.

Cultivating changes in education
M
uch of the consternation about proposed state budget vetoes this year centers around those related to education. Indeed, the University of Alaska bore the brunt of those reductions — initially $135 million and later reduced to $70 million.
The size of these cuts sparked indignation among administrators, faculty, students and many members of the public. But others realized that this was inevitable. Continually rising costs, a bloated bureaucracy, inefficient duplication of programs, accreditation problems, a dismal graduation rate and the declining performance of our university system all foreshadowed changes that needed to be made. How this situation will ultimately shake out remains to be seen. The university declared, then rescinded, a “financial exigency” and is contemplating campus closures and a total restructuring. But while the university battle will largely be fought at the state level, the next educational donnybrook will be over our K-12 system which remains one of the largest components of the state budget. The impact of any cuts here will fall largely on our local municipal governments. Saved this year from the budget axe (except for bond debt reimbursement), K-12 state funding may not be so fortunate next year. Existing budgets remain in place while the Dunleavy administration and Alaska Legislature honor a truce in order to let the courts decide whether “forward funding” of schools is allowed and the extent of the governor’s veto powers is adjudicated.
Despite some of the highest expenditures per pupil in the country, Alaska’s K-12 education system is plagued by poor test scores, absenteeism and low graduation rates. And much like our university system, if we keep doing things the way they have always been done, we can’t expect anything to change. I was born and raised in Juneau and my children attended Glacier Valley, Floyd Dryden and JuneauDouglas High School. I always felt that I, and my children, received an excellent education. Since then, however, despite increased funding and periodic reform efforts, student achievement in Alaska has not kept pace with the rest of the country. Our state and municipalities can continue to pump more money into our school districts, but locally elected school boards are responsible for hiring and guiding administrators to achieve the best results. School boards and educators can no longer blame our lack of educational achievement solely on lack of funding. Accountability for student achievement runs from state government to all 54 school districts around the state, including their school boards, administrators and teachers. Parents also need to take responsibility for raising the achievement expectations of their children. As a voter, you can make a difference by educating yourself on the issues and voting in your local election. In Juneau, that election will take place on Oct. 1 with two open seats on the Board of Education. Four candidates are running for those
seats. Do you know what their educational philosophy and priorities are? Here are some questions you may want to ask when evaluating each of the candidates: • What changes would you propose in the school district strategic plan or curriculum to elevate student achievement? • Are you satisfied that discipline policies are fairly enforced, and our schools are safe places to learn? • What outreach efforts do you propose to increase community involvement in the schools? • How far must our student population decline before seriously considering closing or consolidating school facilities? • With less funding from the state, how should we approach balancing reasonable classroom sizes, program choices, personnel salaries and administrative positions? Communities must make the effort to involve parents, businesses and civic organizations to contribute their time and resources to supporting our schools to help them improve. We also need to let teachers teach. Some I have spoken with are discouraged because they are not supported by administrators or parents and because of the immense number of irrelevant, time-consuming, bureaucratic procedures imposed upon them — funded, as we all know, by the seemingly never-ending increases in education spending. These are tough issues to unravel. But candidates running for school board must realize that maintaining the status quo is no longer an option.

letters to the editor | Funny River
Funny River community says ‘no’ to a boat launch
A
n open letter to Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce: A majority of Funny River residents are opposed to a Boat Launch on our side of the river! A group of seasonal residents have been very vocal proclaiming that “all” of Funny River would like to see such a development, however, this is not the case. Several years ago when navigating through a public process with the Alaska State Parks, the majority of the Funny River community spoke out very clearly that they did NOT want to support a boat launch and more public access to the river. The borough mayor chose to listen only to a small group of individuals regarding this issue. A select few individuals want a boat launch. When the opposing group asked to be heard you chose not to listen, but to say you were only gathering information; you then sponsored a resolution with the Borough Assembly in support of more river access without hearing the opposing side. The opposing group has asked no more than to be practical and do what is best for the Funny River Community and the Kenai River. Funny River Road and its wooden bridge cannot handle more boat traffic. The narrow bridge
is a challenge for two cars meeting; adding more boats and trailers compounds the risk. The solid waste station can barely deal with the local trash as it is. Fire and ambulance service is trying desperately to provide service just for what exists at the present and intentionally adding more stress to our safety resources would be very poor judgment on our part and add to the situation. Residents and neighbors to the Kenai River do not want to create more stress and damage to the river. The Kenai River is the lifeline of this community and anyone who values this resource would be highly negligent if they supported more bank use or access to the river. What is presently available is adequate. If users of the river complain about driving 10-17 miles to launch their boat then so be it. The same residents chose to live in Funny River and drive that same distance to go to work, buy groceries and go to appointments. NO; Mayor Pierce, 97% of Funny River does not want to create more river access and a boat launch. Thank you for hearing the “rest” of the Funny River Residents! — Marilyn Pitts, on behalf of the residents of the Funny River community opposed to boat launch and river access
news and politics
Hispanic journalists returns Fox News’ money WASHINGTON — The nation’s largest Hispanic journalist group is rescinding Fox News’ sponsorship of its upcoming annual conference in Texas and returning nearly $17,000 to the network in response to a radio host’s comments about Latino immigrants. Hugo Balta, president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, said the group made the move because Fox News Radio host Todd Starnes has repeatedly used prejudiced language toward immigrants. “It is important that news organizations do not use or give a platform to slanted jargon disguised as opinion that misconstrues the facts,” said Balta, who works at Fox News rival MSNBC. To accept financial support from Fox News “risks the integrity and credibility of NAHJ’s 35-year mission,” he continued. “To sit silently by is, in essence, to be complicit in the act itself.” Marsheila Hayes, the vice president of diversity and inclusion at Fox News, said the decision was unfortunate. “We are committed to fostering a diverse and collaborative workplace environment, and have been recognized in the industry for our advancement in this area, most notably with our multimedia reporter program,” she said. “We are proud of our inclusive team and their achievements
in journalism.” NAHJ is co-sponsoring the Excellence in Journalism Conference with the Radio Television Digital News Association and the Society of Professional Journalists. It will be held in September in San Antonio at a time when Latinos around the country have been on edge since 22 people were killed this month in a shooting at a Walmart in El Paso. Police said the suspected gunman confessed to targeting Mexicans, and they believe he is the likely author of an anti-Latino screed that called Hispanics “invaders.” Critics say President Donald Trump and his hardline allies in conservative media have helped fuel a hostile environment against immigrants and Latinos. Trump has referred to Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and has described migrants coming to the U.S. as “an invasion.” Balta said this isn’t the first time NAHJ has had to talk to Fox about incendiary language by hosts, and the organization decided that recent comments by Starnes — including ones in which he warned against an “invasion of a rampaging hoard of illegal aliens” — were the final straw. “The latest ‘regret’ by Fox News is one of many where the immigrant community and by association, all Hispanics and Latinos, have been demonized by voices with high
visibility,” Balta said. In his letter announcing the move, Balta referenced the tense climate for Latinos after the El Paso killings, describing how his teenage children asked him if they should stop speaking Spanish in public. “I lied to them,” he said. “I lied when I said they shouldn’t be afraid and defiantly told them we are not going to stop conversing with one another in Spanish in public. I lied. I am afraid,” said Balta, the son of immigrants from Peru. Gatherings like the upcoming NAHJ event and recently completed conferences for the National Association of Black Journalists and Asian American Journalists Association are major events for journalists and news organizations. They include panel discussions, award ceremonies, speeches by leading media figures and recruiting events. Balta said the other two organizations co-sponsoring the Excellence in Journalism Conference, also known as EIJ19, had refused to return Fox News’ money. “Although it is unfortunate when the principle of free speech collides with the basic moral standards of civil debate, we will not exclude any media organization from EIJ19 based on their commentators’ points of view,” SPJ President J. Alex Tarquinio said. — Associated Press

California reels in huge salmon harvest By Terence Chea Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Trolling off the California coast, Sarah Bates leans over the side of her boat and pulls out a long, silvery fish prized by anglers and seafood lovers: wild king salmon. Reeling in a fish “feels good every time,” but this year has been surprisingly good, said Bates, a c troller based in San Francisco. She and other California fishermen are reporting one of the best salmon fishing seasons in years, thanks to heavy rain and snow that ended the state’s historic drought. It’s a sharp reversal for chinook salmon, also known as king salmon, an iconic species that helps sustain many Pacific Coast fishing communities. Commercial salmon catches have surpassed official preseason forecasts by about 50%, said Kandice Morgenstern, a marine scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Harvests have been particularly strong in Morro Bay, Monterey and San Francisco, but weaker along California’s northern coast. “We’re really surprised to be seeing this many fish being landed so far this season,” Morgenstern said. The salmon rebound comes after three years of extremely low catches that resulted from poor ocean conditions and California’s five-year drought, which drained the state’s rivers and reservoirs. Over the past several years, regulators imposed severe fishing restrictions to protect

chinook salmon, and officials declared federal fishery disasters in 2018 to assist fishing communities in California, Oregon and Washington. This year’s adult salmon are the first class to benefit from record rainfall that filled California rivers and streams in early 2017, making it easier for juvenile chinook to migrate to the Pacific Ocean, where they grow into full-size fish. Chinook salmon are also being helped by improved ocean conditions that have produced an abundance of anchovies, krill and other feed. Several years ago, an El Nino event brought unusually warm water to the Pacific Coast and disrupted the marine ecosystem. “For the salmon fishermen who’ve been dealing with
disaster for so long, this is an incredible boon to their livelihoods,” said Noah Oppenheim, who heads the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations. Anglers in the Pacific Northwest have not been so fortunate. A dearth of chinook returning to the Columbia River and Puget Sound are a major factor in the plummeting population of the region’s endangered killer whales. “The forecast of poor chinook returns to western Washington is proving accurate, but it’s still very early in the season,” said Lorraine Loomis, Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission chair. In Alaska, state wildlife officials who oversee salmon are monitoring reports of fish dying in warm rivers. The state in July recorded its
warmest month, and heat stress is suspected in the deaths of pink and chum salmon in rivers that empty into the Bering Sea, including the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. California’s strong salmon season, which typically runs from May to October, offers some positive environmental news at a time of growing anxiety about climate change. A United Nations report released this month warns that global warming threatens food supplies worldwide. Morgenstern says climate change is creating greater fluctuations in ocean and river conditions, making chinook fisheries “less stable, less predictable and more challenging for fishery managers.” Most of the chinook
salmon now being caught in California come from the Sacramento River and its tributaries, where they spawn. Many were raised in state-run hatcheries then released into rivers to swim to the ocean. Harvests of chinook from rivers farther north have not been strong. For consumers, the bountiful harvest has driven down wild salmon prices to $15 to $20 per pound, compared with $30 to $35 per pound in recent years. Fishermen are making up for the difference by catching more fish. “The market is dictating right now that there’s a lot of salmon, so the customers don’t have to pay as much,” said Gordon Drysdale, culinary director at Scoma’s, a seafood restaurant at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. The wharf is one of many California fishing communities benefiting from the salmon boom. Pier 45, where boats unload their fish, hasn’t been this busy in many years, said Larry Collins, who runs the San Francisco Community Fishing Association. “This year started out with a bang, and it’s just kept banging the whole time,” Collins said. “We’re all really excited and happy the fish showed up.” The salmon boom is also welcomed by sport fishermen and the boat operators who take them out. “When the fish are biting, it’s always good for business for us,” said Mike Rescino, who runs a charter boat. “When the people see the big reports, they’re going to come out and go fishing with us.”
FAA seeking pilots to test Boeing Max jet By David Koenig Associated Press
DALLAS — Federal safety officials are recruiting pilots from airlines around the world to test changes that Boeing is making to the flight-control software on the grounded 737 Max jet, according to two people briefed on the situation. The Federal Aviation Administration is asking that some of the pilots have relatively little experience on the Boeing 737, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the testing plan hasn’t been announced. Testing will happen in flight simulators — not on actual Max jets, which remain grounded — and is designed to determine how pilots handle the software.
Exact timing and details about the testing are unclear, but it will be done before the FAA recertifies the plane, according to one of the people. Boeing declined to comment. Boeing is rewriting the Max’s flight-control software after faulty sensor readings caused automated systems to push down the noses of planes that crashed in Indonesia and Ethiopia, killing 346 people. The changes will make automated nose-down movements less powerful and easier for pilots to overcome. The flight-control software, called MCAS, will also rely on two sensors instead of one. Boeing is also working to fix a separate problem that FAA test pilots discovered in June and that could also push

the plane into a dive. Nearly 400 Max jets that were being flown by airlines around the world have been grounded since March, shortly after the second crash. Boeing hopes to submit all changes to the
FAA in September and get the plane approved to fly in November. Chicago-based Boeing Co.’s stock rose Thursday after an analyst for financialservices firm Cowen said an FAA certification flight for
the Max — a key milestone — could happen within six weeks. The shares rose $14.42, or 4.2%, to $354.41. They are up 10% this year, but that trails the 17% gain in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. The shares are down 16% since the second crash, in March. The Max has damaged Boeing’s reputation and finances. Dozens of families of passengers killed in the accidents have sued the company. In July, Boeing reported a record loss of nearly $3 billion for the second quarter due to a $4.9 billion after-tax charge to cover the cost of compensating airlines that have been forced to cancel thousands of flights because of the grounding.
2 soldiers killed in Afghan combat identified By Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army’s Special Operations Command on Thursday released the names of the two Green Berets who were killed a day earlier during combat operations in Afghanistan. Master Sgt. Luis F. DeleonFigueroa, 31, and Master Sgt. Jose J. Gonzalez, 35, died as a result of small arms fire in northern Faryab Province. Both were members of 7th Special Forces Group, which is based at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. “It was an honor having them serve within the ranks,” said Col. John W. Sannes, commander of 7th Group. “They were a part of our Family, and will not be forgotten.” The deaths came as U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad resumed negotiations with the Taliban aimed at ending America’s longest war. There have been eight previous rounds of negotiations over the past year, and key issues include the withdrawal of American troops, a cease-fire, intra-Afghan talks, and Taliban guarantees that Afghanistan will not once again become a launch pad for global terror attacks. There are still about 14,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and attacks by both the Taliban and the Islamic State group affiliate to plague the country. The U.S. and NATO ended combat operations in Afghanistan in 2014, but troops remain to train and advise Afghan forces and to conduct counterterror operations against insurgents. Deleon-Figueroa was from Chicopee, Massachusetts, and served in the Army for more than 13 years. He became a Green Beret in 2014, and deployed twice to Afghanistan and twice to South America. Previously, he had done tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as an infantry soldier. He was posthumously promoted to master sergeant, and he received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. Gonzalez, a native of La Puente, California, also joined 7th Group in 2014. He was also posthumously promoted to Master Sergeant. His family requested that no photo or additional information be released.
Immigration judges sent anti-Semitic post The morning news briefing from the Justice Department was distributed to all 440 immigration judges across the country earlier this week. By Colleen Long and Michael Balsamo Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s immigration arm sent judges a morning news briefing that included a blog post from a virulently anti-immigration website that also publishes work by white nationalists. The post by VDARE featured links that directly attacked immigration judges with racially tinged slurs and a specific anti-Semitic reference about Jews and power, according to a letter sent Thursday by judges’ union president Ashley Tabbador to James McHenry, the director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review at the Justice Department. It was distributed to all 440 immigration judges across the country earlier
this week, along with other stories from The Washington Post and Connecticut Public Radio. The inclusion of the post was first reported by BuzzFeed. Assistant Press Secretary Kathryn Mattingly said the daily morning news briefings are compiled by a contractor and the blog post should not have been included. “The Department of Justice condemns AntiSemitism in the strongest terms,” she said. VDARE is an anti-immigration website founded and edited by Peter Brimelow. He also operates a Connecticut-based nonprofit, VDARE Foundation, that raised nearly $4.8 million between 2007 and 2015, according to IRS filings. Brimelow has denied his website is white nationalist but has acknowledged
it publishes works by writers who fit that description “in the sense that they aim to defend the interests of American whites.” Brimelow also has spoken at conferences hosted by white nationalist groups, including Richard Spencer’s National Policy Institute and Jared Taylor’s American Renaissance online magazine. Tabbador wrote that the union fully supports the right to free speech. “However, the publication and dissemination of a white supremacist, Anti-Semitic website … is antithetical to the goals and ideals of the Department of Justice.” She asked that the post be withdrawn and an apology issued. The issue arose as the Justice Department, which is in charge of immigration judges, is challenging their right to be represented by a labor union. It is a move the judges said was aimed at silencing criticism. A petition recently filed with the Federal
Labor Relations Authority contended the union shouldn’t be allowed because the judges are management officials who help decide or shape the agency’s policies, a Justice spokesman said. In recent months, the immigration judges’ union has spoken out against new performance quotas and rules for managing court dockets. The National Association of Immigration Judges has also called for the immigration courts to become independent of the Justice Department, where the judges are currently employees. The Justice Department held a summit last month focused on how to combat anti-Semitism. In his keynote remarks, Attorney General William Barr said combating anti-Semitism was “an important priority” for the Justice Department and condemned what he called an “intolerable” rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes.

Global worry grows over Amazon fires By Marcelo Silva de Sousa Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — Amid global concern about raging Amazon fires, Brazil on Thursday said it was the target of a smear campaign by critics who contend President Jair Bolsonaro is not doing enough to curb widespread deforestation. The growing threat to what some call “the lungs of the planet” has ignited a bitter dispute about who is to blame during the tenure of a leader who described Brazil’s rainforest protections as an obstacle to economic development. The president’s defiance came as Brazilian federal experts reported a record number of wildfires across the country this year, up 84 percent over the same period in 2018. Satellite images show smoke from the Amazon reaching across the Latin American continent to the Atlantic coast and Sao Paulo, Brazil’s biggest city, according to the World Meteorological Organization. Onyx Lorenzoni, the president’s chief of staff, accused European countries of exaggerating environmental problems in Brazil in order to disrupt its commercial interests.

This satellite image taken Aug. 15 shows a wildfire burnig southwest of Porto Velho, Brazil.
“There is deforestation in Brazil, yes, but not at the rate and level that they say,” said Lorenzoni, according to Brazilian news website globo.com. The allegation came after Germany and Norway, citing Brazil’s apparent lack of commitment to fighting deforestation, decided to withhold more than $60 million in funds earmarked for sustainability projects in Brazilian forests.
French President Emmanuel Macron said the Amazon fires are an international crisis and that G-7 leaders should hold an urgent meeting about them at their summit in France this weekend. “Our house is burning. Literally. The Amazon rain forest — the lungs which produces 20% of our planet’s oxygen — is on fire,” Macron tweeted. Bolsonaro fired back on Twitter: “I regret that Macron seeks to
make personal political gains in an internal matter for Brazil and other Amazonian countries. The sensationalist tone he used does nothing to solve the problem.” U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres tweeted: “In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon must be protected.” Federal prosecutors in Brazil’s Amazon region launched investigations of increasing deforestation, according to local media. Prosecutors said they plan to probe possible negligence by the national government in the enforcement of environmental codes. Bolivia is also struggling to contain big fires, many believed to have been set by farmers clearing land for cultivation. Bolsonaro said there was a “very strong” indication that some nongovernmental groups could be setting blazes in retaliation for losing state funds under his administration. He did not provide any evidence. Bolsonaro, who won election last year, also accused media organizations of exploiting the fires to undermine his government.
U.S., Russia swap blame for abandoning missile pact By Edith M. Lederer Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — Russia and the United States blamed each other Thursday for abandoning a landmark arms control agreement on missiles, with Moscow warning of a new arms race and the Trump administration demanding details of a recent mysterious explosion that killed five Russian nuclear engineers. Russia called a U.N. Security Council meeting on the matter following the U.S. test of a missile banned by the 1987 intermediaterange Nuclear Forces Treaty, which both countries withdrew from on Aug. 2. Russia’s deputy U.N. ambassador, Dmitry Polyansky, criticized
what he called American “hypocrisy,” saying the U.S. “consistently and deliberately violated the INF treaty for some time.” He said the missile test Aug. 18, so soon after the treaty’s expiration, proved it. Acting U.S. Ambassador Jonathan Cohen countered that Russia decided more than a decade ago to break its INF treaty obligations and has deployed multiple battalions of ground-launched cruise missiles “with the ability to strike critical European targets.” The council meeting put on vivid display the deep distrust between the two nuclear powers, and the anxiety of other nations about an escalating arms race including with China. America’s NATO allies joined Cohen in blaming Russia for what
France’s deputy ambassador, Anne Gueguen, called “the death of the treaty.” Britain’s political coordinator Stephen Hickey, said Russia’s actions “are in line with a pattern of aggression that represents a clear threat to international peace and security” and undermine its claim “that it is a responsible international partner.” Gueguen warned that “it would be a dangerous step backward to engage in a new arms race.” Russia’s envoy directed key remarks to NATO’s European council members — Britain, France, Germany, Belgium and Poland. Polyansky asked whether they understand that by supporting the U.S. “step by step, you are returning to a historic situation
when missiles were targeting European cities from different sites.” Polyansky urged the Europeans to realize “that because of the U.S.’s geopolitical ambitions we are all one step from an arms race that cannot be controlled or regulated in any way.” Cohen told the council that perhaps a better use of its time would be to ask Russia “to address the threats it poses to international peace and security,” including where its ground-launched cruise missiles are, and how many it’s deployed. Cohen also asked Russia to tell the council what caused the Aug. 8 explosion at a Russian navy test site on the White Sea in the country’s northwest. Polyansky did not mention the incident.

UN: Malaria eradication possible, but not soon By Maria Cheng Associated Press
LONDON — The World Health Organization says it’s theoretically possible to wipe out malaria, but probably not with the flawed vaccine and other control methods being used at the moment. Dr. Pedro Alonso, the U.N. health agency’s global malaria director, said WHO is “unequivocably in favor” of eradication, but that major questions about its feasibility remain. In a press briefing on Thursday, Alonso acknowledged that “with the tools we have today, it is most unlikely eradication will be achieved.” Alonso was presenting the results of a WHO-commissioned report evaluating if eradicating malaria should be pursued. He said the experts concluded lingering uncertainties meant they were unable to formulate a clear strategy and thus, couldn’t propose a definitive timeline or cost estimate for eradication. WHO has long grappled with the idea of erasing malaria from the planet. An eradication campaign was first attempted in 1955 before being abandoned more than a dozen years later. For decades, health officials were chastened from even discussing eradication — until the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation threw its considerable resources behind the idea. Smallpox is the only human disease to ever have been eradicated. In 1988, WHO and partners began a global campaign that aimed to wipe out polio by 2000. Despite numerous effective vaccines and billions of invested dollars, efforts have stalled in recent years and officials have repeatedly missed eradication targets. The malaria shot only protects about one third of African children who get it. The parasitic disease kills about 435,000 people every year, mostly children in Africa.
Today in History Today is Friday, Aug. 23, the 235th day of 2019. There are 130 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 23, 1927, amid worldwide protests, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery. (On the 50th anniversary of their executions, then-Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis issued a proclamation that Sacco and Vanzetti had been unfairly tried and convicted.) On this date: In 1775, Britain’s King George III proclaimed the American colonies to be in a state of “open and avowed rebellion.” In 1913, Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid statue, inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen story, was unveiled in the harbor of the Danish capital. In 1914, Japan declared war against Germany in World War I. In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to a non-aggression treaty, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in Moscow. In 1960, Broadway librettist Oscar Hammerstein (HAM’-ur-STYN’) II, 65, died in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. In 1973, a bank robbery-turned-hostage-taking began in Stockholm, Sweden; the four hostages ended up empathizing with their captors, a psychological condition now referred to as “Stockholm Syndrome.” In 1979, Soviet dancer Alexander Godunov (GUD’-u-nawf) defected while the Bolshoi Ballet was on tour in New York. In 1982, Lebanon’s parliament elected Christian militia leader Bashir Gemayel president. (However, Gemayel was assassinated some three weeks later.) In 1999, The Dow Jones industrial average soared 199.15 to a thenrecord of 11,299.76. In 2008, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama introduced his choice of running mate, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, before a crowd outside the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. In 2003, Former priest John Geoghan (GAY’-gun), the convicted child molester whose prosecution sparked the sex abuse scandal that shook the Roman Catholic Church nationwide, died after another inmate attacked him in a Massachusetts prison. In 2013, a military jury convicted Maj. Nidal Hasan in the deadly 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, that claimed 13 lives; the Army psychiatrist was later sentenced to death. Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, the U.S. soldier who’d massacred 16 Afghan civilians, was sentenced at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, to life in prison with no chance of parole. Ten years ago: Reality TV contestant Ryan Jenkins, suspected of killing his wife, former model Jasmine Fiore (fee-OR’-ee), was found hanging in a motel in Hope, British Columbia, Canada, an apparent suicide. Eric Bruntlett turned an unassisted triple play to finish Philadelphia’s wild 9-7 victory over the New York Mets. Stefania Fernandez, Miss Venezuela, won the 2009 Miss Universe pageant in the Bahamas; she succeeded fellow Venezuelan Dayana Mendoza, the previous year’s winner. Five years ago: Israel bombed an apartment tower in downtown Gaza City, collapsing the 12-story building in an unprecedented strike. Hundreds of Russian aid trucks returned home from eastern Ukraine, a day after a bitterly disputed crossing. One year ago: Mark David Chapman, the killer of former Beatle John Lennon, was denied parole for a 10th time. The long-running rift between President Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions exploded into a public smackdown, with Trump accusing Sessions of failing to take control of the Justice Department and Sessions responding that he “will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.” The United States and China imposed tariff increases on an additional $16 billion of each other’s goods. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Vera Miles is 89. Actress Barbara Eden is 88. Political satirist Mark Russell is 87. Pro Football Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen is 85. Actor Richard Sanders is 79. Ballet dancer Patricia McBride is 77. Former Surgeon General Antonia Novello is 75. Pro Football Hall of Famer Rayfield Wright is 74. Country singer Rex Allen Jr. is 72. Actor David Robb is 72.

Now’s the time to have new beginning with Jesus Christ
S
chool starting again brings excitement for the kids and relief for the parents. The kindergartner away from home for part of the day might feel apprehensive or the college student being in an unfamiliar and challenging environment for the first time may feel similar trepidation. However, these beginnings soon settle into familiar routines. Credit goes to teachers and aides who make time in the classroom worthwhile and who teach learning as a lifelong experience. Zig Ziglar said, “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” This is true for every endeavor: school,
job, career, marriage, even in living to please God. The Bible tells of many beginnings. The book of Genesis starts, “In the beginning…” John began his account of the Gospel with the same phrase, “In the beginning…” These two accounts identify God as the Word in the beginning. It is this word that believers trust in. “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God” (Hebrews 11:3). Ten times the creation account has these words, “And God said.” Ten times God gave commandments concerning his creative acts. These commandments have never been broken; whereas the writings called
Imagine the impact the miracle healings had for the blind, paralyzed, deaf and diseased. the Ten Commandments have been difficult for man to keep, perhaps never. Most of the beginnings have good endings in the Bible. Abraham beginning his walk of faith. Joseph starting his improbable journey from the pit to the palace. Moses beginning his development as the deliverer after being delivered from the Nile River. Stories of beginnings continue in the New Testament. Young and old were used by God to fulfill his
plan. The miracle ministry of Jesus began at a wedding; quite a beginning for that couple’s married life. Imagine the impact the miracle healings had for the blind, paralyzed, deaf, and diseased. Their lives had a special new beginning. In the spiritual realm, people were given new starts with forgiveness, deliverance from demons, powerful promises, and truth. Even the dead who were resurrected

had different priorities no doubt. Did they celebrate two birthdays? Their impact on others with the testimony of the resurrection power of Jesus was great for the rest of their lives. The Spirit filled church began in Acts 2 with the new birth experience of water and Spirit. Those empowered by the Spirit of God continued to find more power as they obeyed the Lord’s command to preach the gospel everywhere to everyone. God knows “the end from the beginning” (Isaiah 46:10) so it is wise to follow his plan. He gives comfort and guidance to keep going in the right direction. His salvation plan
is called “so great” in Hebrews 2:3 because it is. It is so great that it forgives the past, heals the brokenhearted, establishes a solid relationship with the Lord, and promises an eternal future. The positive truth here is that Jesus knows how to help people start over. If you haven’t had a new beginning with Jesus Christ, now is a good time to get started. If you have, keep going; it just gets better. Mitch Glover is pastor of Sterling Pentecostal Church.

Newton leaves loss with foot injury By The Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — This was not the return to the field that Cam Newton was hoping to make. The Carolina Panthers quarterback left Thursday night’s 10-3 exhibition loss against New England in the first quarter with a foot injury that left him grimacing on the sideline. The 2015 MVP was playing for the first time since Dec. 17, when the team shut him down for the last two games of the season because of shoulder fatigue that prevented him from throwing the ball downfield. He had arthroscopic surgery in January and did not play in the first
two preseason games. Newton appeared to be injured when he was sacked for a loss of 8 yards by Adam Butler on a third-and-10 from the Carolina 31. It was one of two Patriots sacks while Newton was in the game. Newton was initially evaluated on the sideline and quickly accompanied to the locker room and did not return. He went 4 for 6 for 30 yards. Tom Brady finished his first exhibition game of 2019 by going 8 for 12 for 75 yards, including an 18-yard pass to tight end Ryan Izzo to set up the 1-yard touchdown plunge by James Develin in the second quarter. It was the starting

His goal was to keep his head down, play good golf and see where he stood to par at the end of two days. The TV cameras following his every move on the back nine at East Lake were the first hint it was going well. A leaderboard on the 18th green confirmed it. “I saw I was in first,” he said. “Happy with the day.” Schauffele didn’t come seriously close to a bogey in a 6-under 64 that was the best score of the opening round by two shots. It was only worth a share of the lead with Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka in a Tour Championship where players started with better scores to par than others depending on their place in the FedEx Cup. Thomas, who started at 10-under par and a two-shot lead as the No. 1 seed, still led despite having trouble finding the fairway. That was the least of his problems on the back nine. He hit pitching wedge into the water for double bogey and missed a pair of 3-foot putts for a 70. Instead of being six shots behind Schauffele, who started at 4 under as the No. 8 seed, Thomas was tied for the lead. Koepka, the No. 3 seed who started three shots behind, birdied three of his last four holes for a 67 to join them at 10 under. “It’s weird on Thursday to be three back after a couple of holes,” Koepka said of the start. “It’s nice to close that gap on Day 1.” Rory McIlroy, five shots behind at the start as the No. 5 seed, had a 66 and was one shot behind at 9 under going into the second round. Over the next three days, it should look and feel like a See golf, Page A10

Babitt hits the big time Kasilof athlete captures world title at jiu-jitsu tourney By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
Kasilof ’s Sean Babitt comes off quiet, softspoken and unassuming. But ask the competitor that Babitt beat for a world championship gold medal in June, and a different picture is painted. Babitt, 17, won a gold at the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation World Championships tournament June 1 in Long Beach, California. Thursday at Redemption MMA, which stands for mixed martial arts, in Soldotna, Babitt was back practicing as his usual unassuming self, which belies his strength and skill. Redemption MMA coach George Grossman said Babitt has quietly become one of the club’s best students. “We knew he’s good, we know he’s very capable,” Grossman said. “But at the same time,
you never know until you go up against the best. “It’s amazing. To come from a small town in Alaska and succeed on the highest level is amazing, because we’re not a big academy here.” Grossman said Redemption MMA works with around 100 competitors, ranging from youth grapplers to adults. As a blue belt, Babitt still has a long way to go to earn the highest honor in the sport, a black belt. But his success in a short six years has been remarkable to say the least. In addition to the world championship, Babitt has eight Alaska state titles to his name. He became just the third grappler from Redemption MMA to win a world title. At the world championships in June, Babitt competed in two divisions — the Juvenile 2 heavyweight division See CHAMP, Page A10

All this rain W
hen I asked Peter what I should write my column about this week, he suggested I talk about swimming in lakes. It was intuitive, since we had just gotten back from an afternoon of escaping the unintuitive Alaska heat with a dip in Trail Lake, directly along the Seward Highway. The four of us packed into the car and filled it with that firey energy you have on a sweltering day. We stopped at Bear Lake, hoping to cool down sooner rather than later. But, troves of children and their parents with the same thought were already packed along the parking lot turned shoreline of the lake. It seemed like a fun party, but not one that a group of adults (and no children) with varying levels of actual bathing suits should dive into. So, we drove a bit farther down the highway toward the Vagt Lake trail head. After some hemming and hawing, we decided not to hike to the trail’s namesake and, instead, just waded into the large lake right in front of us. The thing about large lakes, though, is that they’re cold. I stood there, taking minuscule steps as more and more of my body was in the water. My top half was sweltering, my bottom half was frigid and I was cautiously trying to skew the percentage under the waterline. It was cold, but we were hot and desperate times call for desperate measures. Gillian and I waited to acclimate, then waded farther. Patrick and Peter scurried to the nearby train bridge and jumped in. Once we were all in the water to some degree, everyone agreed — “It’s not that bad once you’re used to it.” And it was true. Once we got used to the temperature, it wasn’t so bad. I even went over to the bridge and jumped off despite being a little, teeny, tiny bit afraid of heights. I ignored the fear and jumped in the cold water and, guess what? It wasn’t that bad once I got used to it. With our body temperatures lowered, we were more acclimated to the heat. We still drove home with the windows rolled down and the air flowing in, but we weren’t as wound up as we were on the drive out to the lake. We were used to, prepared for the stagnantly high temperatures now. I’ve gotten used to a lot of things this summer. I’ve gotten used to talking in cars over the sounds of air streaming through the windows — a skill I had learned during New Jersey summers, but lost the knack for in Alaska. See BLUE, Page A10
Lightning on the Kenai Peninsula
I
’ve been saying “Wow” a lot lately. A week ago, on Aug. 13, 48 lightning discharges occurred within 300 miles of the North Pole! The Fairbanks office of the National Weather Service reported this was one of the farthest north lightning strikes in Alaska forecaster memory. These strikes hit the ocean, probably mixed with sea ice, near 85 degrees North. The lightning strikes mean the atmosphere was unstable enough, with sufficient warm and moist air in the lower atmosphere, to give rise to thunderstorms. This singular event reminded me that this spring, on May 14, there were 16 lightning strikes detected near the mouth of the Yukon
John MOrton Refuge Notebook
River! This just shouldn’t be happening. This is a time of year when, in the not-sodistant past, shore-fast ice on the Bering Sea should be breaking up. Indeed, lightning is increasing in the United States. A paper published in the journal Science in 2014 showed that for every degree Celsius of warming, lightning strikes will increase 12 percent in the contiguous United States. Based on climate models, this translates to a 50% increase in lightning by the end of this century. What causes lightning?
In one sense, it’s simple — it is the abrupt transfer of electricity between a positive and negative charge in the atmosphere. Cloud-tocloud lightning is 10 times more common than cloudto-ground lighting. But it’s the strikes to the ground that give us heartburn. A lightning bolt heats up the surrounding air 45,000 degrees Fahrenheit — five times hotter than the sun! Because like charges repel each other, negatively charged ions on the earth’s surface are pushed away, leaving an overall positive charge on the ground beneath a storm cloud. This difference forms an electric See refuge, Page A9

I’ve gotten used the constant humming of a fan in my bedroom window and, now, it helps lull me to sleep when Seward’s alleys are a little too loud on a Saturday night. I’ve gotten used to wearing the same pair of shorts over and over, because they’re the only work appropriate shorts I have. I would’ve invested in a second pair, but I kept expecting the heat wave to break. I’ve gotten used to

finding ways to cool down and enjoy the unusual Alaska heat wave that’s quickly becoming the norm rather than unusual. I’ve gotten used to waking up each morning and looking to check how bad the wildfire smoke is in town. I’ve stopped checking to see if it’s raining, because it’s not, and instead just hope I can see Mount Marathon through the smoke. I do hope, though, that the next time I ask Peter what I should write my column about he doesn’t hesitate, doesn’t say swimming. I hope he just says, “All this rain.”

and the Brazilian jiu-jitsu absolute division. He lost his first match in the absolute division, which includes all ages and weight levels. Babitt found himself competing against a bigger opponent. But in the Juvenile 2 heavyweight bracket, Babitt was able to advance to the final, where he defeated Leon da Silva Mendonca of Kronos BJJ. Babitt said the accomplishment took a while to sink in since he came into the tournament with no expectations. “It kind of was a placement test almost,” Babitt said. Babitt’s father, Jeff, called the world championships the “Olympics of jiu-jitsu,” and said he has high hopes for his son in the sport. “My prediction is he’s going to the Olympics some day,” Jeff said by phone Thursday. “It’s hard to find a 17-yearold who makes no money and coaches little kids and works that hard.” The Babitt family lives and works as farmers in Kasilof, where Sean puts in long hours helping with whatever needs to be done. That includes hammering poles, hauling building supplies in the summer and hauling firewood in the winter. The family operates a logging business as well. Currently homeschooled, Babitt said he puts in about four hours a day at Redemption MMA in addition to his sports team practices at SoHi, where he competes in cross-country in the fall, wrestling in the winter and track and field in the

spring. Babitt was ranked as high as second in the state last year in his weight class for high school wrestling. With long hours spent on the farm, in school sports practices and hiking in the Alaska backcountry, Babitt has been able to build up his strength and conditioning to high levels. Babitt said the next big competition he’ll be preparing for is the state submission grappling BJJ tournament in October. “Just got to get ready for the next one,” Babitt said. “I just love grappling.” Redemption MMA was founded by Isaac Kolesar in 2010 and has rapidly become a state powerh o u s e. R e d e m p t i o n MMA has produced three world champions in the sport, and the club is the defending kids team state champions in submission grappling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, while the adults are the defending BJJ champs. Babitt said he is funding his own tournament trips out of pocket while he searches for sponsorship to help out in the long term. Grossman said a large chunk of funds typically come from sponsorship, and that the best way to gain the attention is through social media. “The main medium of sponsorship in this sport is still Instagram and Facebook,” Grossman said. “Most of this sport happens on social media.” Grossman said anyone who makes their name known in the sport is usually sponsored by big Brazilian jiu-jitsu companies, which Babitt hopes will take notice soon. “It allows me to do more tournaments,” he said.

Women’s pro soccer seeks sustainability By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer
While record crowds at National Women’s Soccer League games are evidence of a World Cup bump, players want the momentum to extend beyond the ticket office. Portland drew a leaguerecord 25,218 fans to a game against the defending champion North Carolina Courage earlier this month, and last weekend Sky Blue staged its first game at Red Bull Arena before a club-high 9,415 fans. The Chicago Red Stars had to open the upper-deck section at SeatGeek Stadium when they drew more than 17,000 to a post-World Cup game. Across the league, attendance is up about 15% overall this year, with the most dramatic swings coming after

the United States’ victory this summer at the Women’s World Cup in France. That’s the bump: Both the NWSL and its male counterpart, Major League Soccer, traditionally see increased interest during a World Cup year. In the NWSL, the bump is likely to be larger once the entire season plays out. In 2015, following the national team’s World Cup victory in Canada, the league drew an average of 5,046 fans per game, up from the league’s all-time low average attendance (4,137) in 2014. Following last weekend’s games, average attendance across the league was 6,917. But players aren’t satisfied. In addition to bringing in new fans, they want sustained growth and stability. The key is investment. “We’ve won two World

normal tournament. The score to par is all that matters in deciding who wins the FedEx Cup and the $15 million prize. And after one day, it was setting up to be a shootout. The top five players were separated by five shots at the start, and that number was at 12 players by the end of the day. That included Paul Casey, who felt a new kind of anticipation for a Thursday. “After five holes, I wanted to see scores. I never usually care about what’s going on after five holes,” said Paul Casey, who shot 66. He started eight shots behind as the No. 16 seed and cut that margin in half after one round. The concern was that Thomas, who won last week at Medinah, might post another low score and build a huge lead.
Cups back-to-back. We’ve done everything on the field to encourage and inspire players and kids and parents and coaches, boys and girls to come to the games,” said Carli Lloyd, who plays for Sky Blue and is a member of the U.S. team. “Now again it’s up to the people with money to market it, to buy into this, to invest in it, and to promote it.” While the NWSL has been incrementally drawing bigger crowds since its inception in 2013, there have been recent questions about the league’s health. The league and A&E Networks terminated their broadcast agreement in February, leaving the NWSL with no TV partner. Last season, a game aired each week on the Lifetime channel. A&E surrendered its
stake in the league, but Lifetime remains a jersey sponsor. The NWSL has also been operating without a commissioner since 2017, and there’s been no new teams coming on board despite persistent rumors to the contrary. The league contracted to nine teams before the start of the 2018 season when the Boston Breakers folded. But there have been recent positive developments beyond attendance. Budweiser announced a multi-year sponsorship deal with the league this summer. The NWSL also reached an agreement to air 14 games this season on ESPNews and ESPN2, including the playoff semifinals and the final. ESPN recently signed an agreement for worldwide rights to the league.
It didn’t work out that way. “We’ve got a golf event now,” Casey said. “This is kind of cool. Looks like it’s working.” There were a few other moments that indicated this Thursday was different from all others in golf. Thomas made the turn at 1 under, and as the walking scorer brought the sign across the road and onto the 10th tee, one fans was shocked to see him at 11 under until he said, “That’s right — he started at 10 under.” Schauffele was at 10 under when he approached the 18th green to face a 6-foot birdie putt. “I had a putt for 59 on the last hole,” he said with a smile. “That’s what (Matt) Kuchar told me. I looked at him the same way. Got it.” Patrick Cantlay, the No. 2 seed who began two shots behind, shared the lead briefly until two bogeys over the last five holes for a 70. It wasn’t a good day, yet he still
was only two shots behind. Thomas missed a 3-foot par putt on No. 12. On the par-3 15th, which played 60 yards shorter than usual, his wedge was right all the way and found the water. And on the 17th, he hit wedge to 3 feet only to see his birdie putt spin 270 degrees around and out of the cup. He salvaged the day with a good drive — only his sixth fairway of the round — that set up a two-putt birdie. “It’s fine,” Thomas said. “I’m tied for the lead.” Schauffele won the Tour Championship two years ago in a situation that led to this change in format. FedEx Cup points accrued during the regular season and quadrupled in the postseason were reset to give everyone a chance. The top five players only had to win the tournament to capture the FedEx Cup, and odds of winning the bonus were higher as the position in the standings got lower.

Duke in the first round. Mayfield tried to tamp down the comment and texted Jones to explain his remarks. Jones got into the game on the Giants’ second series and went 9 of 11 for 141 yards the rest of the half. He had completions of 35 yards to Brittan Golden and 27 yards to Darius Slayton on a seven-play touchdown drive, a solid all-around showing for Eli Manning’s eventual replacement.
RAVENS 26, EAGLES 15 PHIL ADELPHIA — Trace McSorley threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for a score, helping Baltimore beat Philadelphia for its 16th straight preseason win. The game was stopped by the NFL with 11:43 remaining in the fourth quarter because of lightning after a short delay. Carson Wentz again sat out for the Eagles, but several starters saw their first action this summer and Josh McCown made his debut after ending his brief retirement to play his 18th season.
REDSKINS 19, FALCONS 7 ATLANTA — Rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins led Washington to three second-half scoring drives, including two set up by Atlanta’s lost fumbles while attempting to field punts, and the Redskins took a preseason win over the Falcons. Case Keenum played the

field between the ground and the base of the cloud, causing negative ions in the clouds to discharge to the ground, while the positive charges move upward. In reading an article in Science Trends, I was fascinated to learn that lightning isn’t completely understood. Most lightning strikes are “negative lightning,” when negatively charged electrons move from the cloud to the ground in an overall transfer of negative charges. But “positive lightning” occasionally occurs when the transfer starts at the top rather than the base of the cloud. These lightning strikes can be up to 10 times stronger than negative lightning strikes. And lightning and lightning-caused fires do appear to be increasing in our boreal forest. A recent study published in Nature Climate Change found that lightningcaused fires have increased 2% to 5% annually between 1975 and 2015 in Interior Alaska. During these same four decades, 87 percent of large fires and 95 percent of burned area were caused by
first half at quarterback and lost a fumble which helped the Falcons lead 7-6 at halftime. Haskins, the first-round draft pick from Ohio State, completed 7 of 13 passes for 74 yards in the second half. Colt McCoy, Washington’s third contestant in the quarterback competition, is still recovering from a broken right leg suffered in 2018.
DOLPHINS 22, JAGUARS 7 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Josh Rosen came off the bench late in the third quarter and engineered a 99-yard touchdown drive, and Miami beat Jacksonville. Rosen, who is battling Ryan Fitzpatrick for the starting quarterback job for Miami (2-1), was 5-for-7 for 59 yards and a touchdown and ran four times for 23 yards. Nick Foles, making his first appearance of the preseason for the Jaguars (0-3), played the first quarter and went 6-for-10 for 48 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
RAIDERS 22, PACKERS 21 WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Daniel Carson kicked a 33-yard field goal with 8 seconds remaining, and Oakland earned a bizarre preseason victory over Green Bay on a field that was shortened to 80 yards over concerns about player safety. End zones were marked by bright orange pylons at the 10-yard lines and there were no kickoffs. The field was reconfigured because of concerns about the areas where the goal posts for the CFL’s Winnipeg franchise are usually located.
lightning. Projecting forward, these researchers’ models suggest that lightning will increase 59% by 2050 to 2074 and result in 55% more area burned in the Interior. These same researchers state that recent trends toward earlier and warmer springs in high latitudes could contribute to extreme fire years by “earlier and more frequent occurrence of atmospheric conditions conducive to thermal convection, thunderstorm formation and associated lightning resulting a longer period of fire growth; and earlier snowmelt and subsequent fuel drying resulting in higher ignition efficiency and fire spread rates.” This is a fancy way of saying lightning is going to be a problem in coming years. Here on the Kenai Peninsula, we are beginning to see exactly that. The big wildfires in the last century were all caused by humans: the 310,000-acre Kenai Fire in 1947, 86,000-acre Swanson River Fire in 1969 and the 200,000-acre Funny River Fire in 2014. 2005 was a big year for lightning-caused fires on the peninsula. Of 54 fire starts that summer, 22 were lightning strikes, including the 10,000-acre King County

Orioles set record for HRs allowed By The Associated Press BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles set the major league record for home runs allowed in a season, giving up drives to Austin Meadows and Willy Adames in a raindelayed, 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay that ended shortly before 1 a.m. Friday. About 200 fans were left at Camden Yards when the Rays closed out the win. Meadows hit the recordsetting 259th home run off Baltimore this year, connecting in the third inning. The last-place Orioles began the day tied with the 2016 Cincinnati Reds for the dubious mark.
DODGERS 3, BLUE JAYS 2 LOS ANGELES — Kiké Hernandez capped a threerun ninth inning by blooping an RBI single and Los Angeles rallied after being one-hit through eight innings. Shut down by rookie Jacob Waguespack, the Dodgers rallied with three straight hits against Derek Law (0-2).
METS 2, INDIANS 0 NEW YORK — Noah Syndergaard retired the first 16 hitters and allowed two hits over six dominant innings before a heavy storm interrupted him, and New York won a rain-shortened game for its fifth straight victory. The game was called with New York batting in the eighth inning after a second rain delay. The Mets completed a three-game sweep. They’ve won 13 of their last 14 home games, helping them get into
Creek Fire, 26,000-acre Fox Creek Fire, and the 1,000acre Irish Channel Fire. This year started out with a flashy bang on June 5. Five wildfires were ignited by 128 lightning strikes that day on the peninsula. The still-threatening Swan Lake Fire, now 140,000 acres and continuing to grow in our deepening drought, started with a lightning strike. The Tustumena Lake Fire in the Caribou Hills was also started that same day by lightning, but was quickly snuffed out by firefighters because this grassland fire threatened nearby cabins. Lightning usually occurs later in the summer when there’s enough heat in the atmosphere to form the cloud formations that lead to lightning and thunder. A lightning strike in mid to late summer would not likely cause grass to burn as it should be green and growing then. But this year’s lightning strike in the Caribou Hills occurred just as the Calamagrostis grass was greening up at that higher elevation, when last season’s nowcured grass could serve as dry and flammable fuel. The Tustumena Lake Fire is the first lightning-caused grassland fire in spring on the Kenai Peninsula!

ATHLETICS 5, YANKEES 3 OAKLAND, Calif. — Tanner Roark struck out seven and didn’t walk a batter over six-plus innings, Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka struggled early and Oakland finished a threegame series sweep. Mark Canha hit a two-run single as the A’s immediately jumped on Tanaka (9-7) en route to a seventh victory in eight overall.
ASTROS 6, TIGERS 3 HOUSTON — Gerrit Cole struck out 12 over seven scoreless innings and Alex Bregman homered for Houston. Cole (15-5) pitched two-hit ball and allowed one walk. He’s 11-0 with a 1.84 ERA in his past 15 starts and has 238 strikeouts this season, one shy of teammate and league leader Justin Verlander.
WHITE SOX 6, RANGERS 1 CHICAGO — Yoán Moncada lined a two-run homer on his return from the injured list and Ross Detwiler struck out a career-high eight for Chicago. James McCann hit a solo homer and doubled, and Jose Abreu, Tim Anderson and Matt Skole each had an RBI as Chicago won for the third time in four games. Out since July 31 with a strained right hamstring, Moncada batted cleanup and made an immediate impact with his 21st homer as the White Sox jumped to

BOSTON — Brock Holt hit an RBI single with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning as the Red Sox won a weather-suspended game that began Aug. 7. The original contest was halted after a 1 hour, 49 minute-rain delay early on Aug. 8 with the score tied 4-4 and nobody out in the top of the 10th inning. Royals catcher Meibrys Viloria was facing a 2-1 count against Red Sox reliever Josh Taylor.
CUBS 1, GIANTS 0 CHIC AG O — Kyle Hendricks pitched seven sharp innings as the Cubs won their fifth straight despite getting only two hits. Anthony Rizzo hit an RBI single to help the NL Central leaders complete a threegame sweep. The Giants lost their fourth in a row. A day after the Cubs won 12-11 in a game with seven home runs, there was a brisk breeze blowing in at Wrigley Field and the teams combined for just six hits.
ST. LOUIS — Marcell Ozuna, Paul DeJong and Dexter Fowler each hit two-run homers to pace the Cardinals. Fowler’s 15th home run of the season, off of a 97 mph fastball from Yency Almonte (0-1) in the seventh, capped the comeback. Matt Carpenter set it up by working a walk in an eight-pitch, pinch hitting appearance to lead off the frame. Dominic Leone (1-0), who was recalled from Triple-A Memphis before the game, got the win. Giovanny Gallegos and Andrew Miller pitched a scoreless eighth and Carlos Martínez picked up his 15th save in 18 opportunities.

PITTSBURGH — Max Scherzer pitched four innings in his return from the injured list, giving up one run and four hits. The three-time Cy Young Award winner, who was put
ATLANTA — Ronald Acuña Jr. hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning as the Atlanta Braves won their fifth straight. Freddie Freeman hit a tying homer in the eighth and the Braves sent Miami to its 12th road loss in a row, the longest streak in the majors this year. The NL East-leading Braves went 15-4 against the Marlins this year. Adeiny Hechavarría opened the Atlanta ninth with a double and later scored on Acuña’s single off Ryne Stanek (0-3).

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 23, 2019: This year, you often say one thing, yet go off and do something different. Others might comment on this behavior. If single, giving off mixed messages could complicate a budding tie. People could back off because of this. You will need to relate to someone who understands both voices. If attached, the two you agree to disagree, but this is often irrelevant, as you have such a hoot together. Honor your differences and love the fun times the two of you experience. GEMINI knows how to get your attention.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH No matter what the situation, you will feel unusually tense. You might even develop an attitude, as you could feel that someone is nixing your ideas randomly. Tonight: If expressing anger, choose your words with care.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Plans could rapidly change as people’s emotions swing from one mood to another. Your response could be equally unpredictable. Try to relax and go with
the flow. Others’ vacillation is not directed toward you. Tonight: Keep your spending under control.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You could become more uptight and fussier than you have been in a while. You might blame this change of mood on this or that, but the truth is simply that you feel differently at the moment. Do not hesitate to go for what you want. Tonight: Go for what you want.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Emotions surface once more. You feel as if there is something you are missing. You could also be picking up on what someone who is close to you is feeling. To clear it out, you might need to make several calls. Tonight: Go with a whim!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You need to move a project forward and no longer get stuck in others’ reservations and thoughts. Confusion surrounds a personal matter, but it will clear up in a day or so. Tonight: Do not take someone’s attitude personally.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Tonight: All smiles.
HHHH You suddenly feel energized. If a boss or someone you work with notices your high energy, you could have a lot of last-minute work dropped on you. You could say no! Clear it out as quickly as you can. Tonight: Fun surrounds you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Stay anchored, if possible. Eye a situation from the perspective of having known this person for a while. If someone seems too willing to go along with one of your ideas, find out why. Tonight: Postpone judgment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Reach out for the unimagined. What appears as a nice but slightly impossible dream could actually become a reality. Rather than nix it, see how you can manifest this thought. Curb your tendency to go overboard. Tonight: As you like it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You can no longer hold yourself back. One-on-one relating is highlighted. You make the impossible possible by deciding that nothing is impossible. Your sense of humor and playfulness distract some people, but others jump right in. Tonight: Go with the flow.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You cannot help but zero in on what is going on with another person. Often, others don’t realize how tuned in you are. You do not let them know when you can see they are avoiding telling you the whole story! Tonight: The more people, the better.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
cryptoquip
HHH You might be more tangled up in a personal situation than you would like. Understand where another person is coming from. You might consider that this person seldom seems needy. What is happening is quite unique. Tonight: Go with the flow.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could feel tense. A comrade at work makes it clear he or she needs time with you. Make it your pleasure. You will get to know this person better. You experience an odd mix of enjoyment and worry.

Dear Heloise: I’ve done a lot of TRAVELING, and I’d like to share a few things that I’ve learned: A cabdriver claims the meter is broken but tells you he’ll give you a flat rate at a discount. Get out and find another cabbie. It’s a scam. A cabdriver tells you your hotel is closed or overbooked but wants to take you to the hotel of a friend. Get out of the cab and find another cabbie or you’ll be the victim of a scam. Stay away from currency exchange booths. You may well be given counterfeit money. Always do a currency exchange at a bank. Familiarize yourself with the rate of exchange in any foreign country, and check the amount you were given against the receipt. If at all possible, use a credit card or prepaid currency card for purchasing items. If the front desk calls and says your credit card was rejected and asks you to read the numbers to them over the

phone, don’t do it. It’s a scam. Be careful and cautious while traveling. — Faith G., Mesa, Ariz.
Home security Dear Heloise: I’ve been in home security for several years now, and I have a few hints to protect your home and yourself: 1. When you move into a home that was previously owned, change the locks first. 2. Never leave notes on the front door for anyone. 3. Make sure ALL door hinges are on the inside of the house. 4. Sliding glass doors should have an adjustable bar or broom handle along the sliding track to keep people from opening your sliding door. 5. Buy garage doors and house doors that do not have windows so thieves can’t look inside. — Steven J., Santa Fe, N.M.
