Voters to weigh in on charter change Races for City Council positions are mostly unopposed. By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

Kenai The city of Kenai has two council positions open. Jim Glendening and Glenese Pettey, who currently serve on the Kenai City Council, are running for seats in unopposed races. The city also has an elected mayoral position up for election. The current mayor, Brian Gabriel, is the only candidate running for Kenai city mayor. The city also has two propositions for residents to weigh on. Proposition A asks voters if the city’s charter should be changed to eliminate the requirement of candidates running for mayor or city council to provide a nominating petition with 20 signatures. The resolution was passed July 3 by the Kenai City Council, and will now go to the voters. “It is in the city’s best interest to eliminate the petition requirement for candidacy as requiring a candidate to submit a petition with signatures of 20 or more voters merely presents an inconvenience to candidates and creates administrative work for the city without any real benefit to the public,” the resolution reads. Proposition B has to do with when council members and the mayor’s terms begin after the election. The current city charter requires the term of office to begin the second regular council meeting after the election. The proposition asks voters if that charter should be changed to have terms begin the Monday following election certification.

Soldotna The city of Soldotna has two city council positions up for a vote. The seats belong to current council members Tim Cashman and Lisa Parker. Parker is See election, Page A3

As Swan Lake fire grows, plans put in place Cooper Landing residents briefed on evacuation possibilities. For future traffic delays on the Sterling Highway, control points will be established at Mile 71 near Watson Lake and Mile 53 near the Resurrection Trailhead. By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

The Swan Lake Fire grew by another 4,000 acres Friday night, and on Saturday the borough released details about their transportation and evacuation plans for the Sterling Highway. During the community meeting in Cooper Landing Saturday night, Kenai Peninsula Borough Emergency Manager Dan Nelson laid

out the borough’s plans for handling road closures and potential evacuations going forward. Nelson said during the meeting that for future traffic delays on the Sterling Highway, control points will be established at Mile 71 near Watson Lake and Mile 53 near the Resurrection Trailhead. These control points will use flaggers and nearby pullouts to allow people to turn around and prevent congestion in populated areas.

In the event that a closure is expected to last more than six hours, an additional control point will be established at the Sunrise Inn in Cooper Landing. This control point will allow local traffic coming into Cooper Landing from the east, but travelers coming into the area will be directed by state troopers and local law enforcement to either turn around or pull over to the highway’s shoulder in an attempt to minimize the congestion that has occurred in Cooper Landing during recent closures. In the event that an evacuation is warranted, the Department of Transportation, with the assistance of Granite Construction, will make both

lanes of the Sterling Highway move in one direction and establish turnarounds to assist drivers in adjusting to the new traffic pattern. Public information officer Sarah Gracey said on Saturday that fire crews in the area of the Seven Lakes Trail south of the Sterling Highway initiated structure protection operations around public use cabins on Friday, as the fire made its way about 3 miles east from where it initially crossed the highway on the western side. The growth also prompted a temporary traffic delay on the highway Friday night so that aerial teams could perform water drops in the area. A large column of smoke

Flood advisories may extend By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce also spoke to the crowd and gave appreciation to the emergency responders and veterans in the community. “Can I just say God bless America, and this is the greatest place on earth,” Pierce said in his speech. After his speech, Dunleavy stayed for a while to chat with residents and briefly spoke to the Clarion about the wildfires in the area. Dunleavy recently issued a disaster declaration for the Kenai Peninsula and Matanuska-Susitna Boroughs and made additional state resources available to those areas

A flood advisory for the Snow River looks to expire Sunday, but advisories for the Kenai River and Kenai Lake may be extended. Jessica Cherry, senior hydrologist Alaska Pacific River Forecast Center, said the Snow River crested Saturday, and if the river drops below the action stage by noon Sunday it may expire. The Kenai River, however, is not expected to crest until later Sunday. Flood advisories for the Kenai River and Kenai Lake, which includes areas from Cooper Landing to Skilak Lake, may be extended past Sunday. Flooding 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 a Kenai Peninsula Borough update. The event is known as jökulhlaup, an Icelandic term describing a sudden water release from glaciers or glacierdammed lakes. Flooding has the potential to impact Swan Lake Fire firefighting efforts, but not yet affected operations. Sarah Gracey, public information officer for the Great Basin Incident Management Team, said on Saturday that fire crews have been relying on local boat operators with knowledge of the area to transport them across the river, but that they have not been impacted by the flooding on the Kenai River. On Friday, crews were able to make it about 1 mile into the Surprise Creek trail to begin establishing control lines. Snow River flooding has also affected Alaska Railroad operations on the peninsula. The railroad stopped running trains between Moose Pass and Seward last week and will likely not restart service until early next week. Stephanie Wheeler, regional

Honoring industries that go above, are always there By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Food and fun were in no short supply at this year’s Industry Appreciation Day. Held every August in Kenai, the day is organized by the Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District and the Alaska Oil and Gas Association as a way to celebrate the industries at the heart of the peninsula’s economy. The celebration took place from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Kenai Park Strip and featured raffles, frozen T-shirt contests, buoy pull races and free food. The local 4-H chapters served up this year’s grand champion hog while volunteers

from Home Depot taught kids how to build birdhouses. About halfway through the day, there was an award ceremony that honored individuals and businesses in four industries — oil and gas, commercial fish, tourism and health care. The awards were presented by Tim Dillon, executive director of KPEDD, Kenai Mayor Brian Gabriel, Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, and Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski. Gov. Mike Dunleavy, who is touring the areas of the Kenai Peninsula and the Mat-Su Valley that have been impacted by several wildfires, gave a speech to the crowd before the award ceremony and noted that “the Kenai really likes to celebrate.”

Trustworthy boat raffle sends $15K to youth sports By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

The annual Trustworthy Hardware Willie Boat raffle event brought in $15,000 for local youth sports and sent home a lucky winner with a new Willie drift boat Friday afternoon in Soldotna. The boat raffle, now in its 11th year, sold 1,000 tickets for $50 a ticket in 2019, helping to bring in $50,000 of fundraising in less than three weeks. After expenses, Trustworthy Hardware co-owner Scott Miller said $15,000 went

to funding youth sports for the community. The event is primarily a fundraiser for Soldotna youth sports, a list that includes Soldotna Little League, youth girls soccer, Pop Warner football, Whalers wrestling, Soldotna Silver Salmon swimming and the Soldotna Youth Rodeo. “This is a really good event,” Miller said. “It’s just been a great week.” The funds also go to help the Wounded Heroes event, a See raffle, Page A2

Community briefed on Caribou Lake, North Fork fires By Michael Armstrong Homer News

Fire officials delivered some positive news about two lower Kenai Peninsula wildfires at a community meeting Saturday at McNeil Canyon Elementary School. For the North Fork Fire between Homer and Anchor Point that started on Aug. 18, Alaska Division of Forestry Fire Management Officer Howie Kent said the 58-acre fire should be 100% contained by the end of Saturday. “The fire lines we put in — we feel like they’re going to hold,” he said. Evans Kou of the Great Basin Incident Command team out of Boise, Idaho, said the Caribou Lake Fire, now estimated to 895 acres about 25 miles northeast of Homer, is now 20% contained. The end goal is to have it 100% suppressed. With help from Fire Boss water attack aircraft, firefighters stomped down a 2-acre spot fire on the south side of the lake. The fire is north of the west end of the lake. The Caribou Lake Fire has eight smokejumpers, a hot shot crew, Kachemak Emergency Services firefighters and two more crews from the Lower 48 who arrived in Soldotna on Saturday. Those crews will be shuttled by helicopter to a temporary landing field at the Basargin Road gravel pit. “Right now we’re feeling pretty good about this fire,” Kou said. “The last report I got from the firefighters

combatting the wildfires. Dunleavy said on Saturday that the declarations were timely and recognized the need for additional resources. “We drove through the area of the Swan Lake Fire two days ago, and it was

was we’re feeling pretty confident we’re going to be able to hold this fire.” In response to a comment from a man about how hunters use the gravel pit to stage trucks and trailers, Kou said he would like to talk to hunters or hunting organizations about making sure there aren’t user conflicts there. Kent said that the hunting season hasn’t been closed. He did point out that the Kenai Peninsula and Southcentral Alaska have a complete burn ban, with no camp or warming fires allowed. “A lot of people want to have their campfires,” he said. “It’s not going to happen.” Lower 48 crews have begun to arrive in Alaska to take over fire management from the heavily strapped Division of Forestry and local fire departments. KES Chief Bob Cicciarella said he hopes KES volunteers working the Caribou Lake Fire will be able to get a break by Wednesday. On the North Fork Fire, Anchor Point Emergency Services and Homer Volunteer Fire Department workers have been helping with setting up and running water lines and tanker shuttles from the Anchor River about 3,700 feet uphill to the fire zone. No cabins, homes or other structures have been lost in the North Fork and Caribou Lake fires. The cause of the Caribou Lake Fire is still undetermined and the North Fork

Fire is under investigation. Jeff Tonkin, a meteorologist with the Great Basin Incident Command team, said the short-term weather forecast looks like more of the sun — hot, clear and dry. The Kenai Peninsula normally gets about 8 inches of rain from May to August; this year it got 2 inches. “Unfortunately, I’m not going to tell you we’re going to get a lot of rain soon,” Tonkin said. Low-pressure systems in the Gulf of Alaska off Kodiak aren’t moving up into Cook Inlet. “They’re just going along Kodiak and the center of the Gulf of Alaska and moving along east,” he said. “… It doesn’t look very moist or wet for the next week or two.” However, there also aren’t predictions of a strong wind event out of the north like the one that stirred up the Swan Lake Fire. The daylight hours also are getting shorter and the days cooler, he said. “In those terms, it’s very favorable,” Tonkin said. “We should not see large fire growth.” Over the next six weeks, there could be low-pressure systems bringing rain in the first week of October. “I can’t guarantee it,” he said. “It’s the good news I have and I would take it.” Winds also will tend to be from the southwest, which should offer some relief from smoke for the lower peninsula.

Diamond Ridge Road neighborhoods had been on a Level 1-Ready alert since Monday, Aug. 19, but were removed on Friday morning. Caribou Lake was never put on an alert. When the fire blew up, officials also did an assessment to make sure no one was staying at cabins in the popular recreation area. The Level 1-2-3 or Ready-Set-Go alert system is one state fire officials and the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management have been advocating as a simple, consistent way of communicating fire evacuation readiness. Borough officials didn’t use the KPB Alert system of text or email to send out notifications, relying instead on news and social media and radio. A Level 1 alert means be aware — there’s a fire in the vicinity, said Sarah Saarloos, a public information officer with the Division of Forestry. “With how dry it is, one of the things we’ve been saying (is) all of Alaska, especially south of the Alaska Range — it’s a ready,” she said. Level 2 means “set,” to be ready and prepared to leave at a moment’s notice. People should have vehicles loaded and ready to go. Family who need special care like seniors should be relocated. It’s also the time to move farm animals, horses and sled dog teams. Level 3 means “go,” to evacuate immediately because of an immediate fire danger. Saarloos said people often ask

crews will spend the weekend creating a buffer between the new growth and the highway to limit any future delays or closures. Clear skies have allowed the use of fixed-wing water drops in the area of new growth as well, and aerial crews

sub-unit of the Wounded Warrior’s nationwide program that brings veterans out for a day of fishing on the Kenai River. The Wounded Heroes event is run by the Kenai River Foundation. Miller said the event has brought in $140,000 over 11 years, along with the fishing boats that the Willie Boats company has provided each year. This year, a Willie drift boat, with a motor provided by Peninsula Power Sports, was raffled off with help from the Kenai Peninsula Saints Pop Warner program and members of the Soldotna Silver Salmon swim program. The lucky ticket was that of Girdwood resident Dan

how they can help firefighters. At the meeting, one woman with a cabin in the Caribou Hills offered her place for shelter. Kou said firefighters get fresh food every day and tarps and tents to sleep under. “Thank you very much for the offer,” he said. “…These are a breed of firefighter who likes to be outdoors.” The best way people can help firefighters is to be fire wise, Saarloos said. “The best thing you can give to Alaska wildland firefighters or a Lower 48 is some defensible space around your property,” she said. “Do that work ahead of time, around your home. Brush out your driveway.” Cicciarella pointed out that during the Mile 17 Fire east of McNeil Canyon in May 2009, several homeowners credited firewise efforts with saving their homes. In response to the spruce bark beetle effort, the borough had a more aggressive Firewise program. Currently the Division of Forestry Steward, John Winters, is managing that program. Rep. Sarah Vance, R-Homer, attended the meeting. She said afterward that she would look into expanding Firewise programs. “I want to be proactive about what we can do,” she said about wildfires. “What we can do to prevent them and be ready in a stressful situation.” For more information on Firewise efforts, visit https://www.nfpa.org/ Public-Education/Fire-causes-andrisks/Wildfire/Firewise-USA .

are attempting to prevent the fire from spreading as far east as Hidden Creek. A containment line has been established along the western perimeter of the fire, and the line continues to hold while being tested by windy conditions. Along the eastern perimeter, crews are building containment lines in the Surprise Creek area to prevent the fire from spreading towards Cooper Landing. Gracey said that the recent flood advisory on the Kenai River has not

impacted the team’s ability to cross the river and access Surprise Creek thanks to the assistance of local boat operators. In addition, crews are establishing fuel breaks along the Fuller Lakes Trail and plumbing lines along the Slaughter Gulch and Resurrection Pass Trails. Structure protection crews are currently in Cooper Landing speaking with residents and assessing what measures are needed to prevent any loss to lives or property.

Kuber, who was told by phone of his ticket Friday. Kuber said he has bought a ticket in the boat raffle for “eight or nine” years. “It’s more to help the kids,” Kuber said “But I didn’t expect to win, so I’m stoked.” Kuber said his two sons currently play little league baseball in Girdwood, and said the money being raised for youth sports makes a big difference in children’s lives. “It’s why I put in for it originally,” Kuber said. Kuber said he plans to be using the boat to fish for silvers on the Twenty Mile and Placer rivers. Miller said both he and his brother and co-owner Brian have been active in the Soldotna Little League program for years, both as players in their youth

and later as coaches. Miller said their late father Paul Miller, who passed away in 2016, played a role with other community organizers in leading the way in youth sports. “Little league is near and dear to our hearts because we all grew up doing it,” Miller said. “This year, we kind of focused on the younger crowd.” With funds needed for high school sports travel, new uniforms, field management and equipment, Miller said the money being raised for the various sports programs is fundamental to establishing healthy, active lifestyles for children. Raffling off a boat only helped pull in more interest. “We see the need in the community,” Miller said. “We had this opportunity with the (Willie Boats), and said, ‘Hey we want to get more boats’. It gave us a great opportunity.”

November 4, 1978 - August 16, 2019

July 30, 1927- August 17, 2019

Kasilof resident, Mr. Bradley Robert Bates, 40, died Friday, August 16, 2019 at his home in Kasilof. Celebration of life will be held at a later date in Kasilof. Bradley was born November 4th, 1978 in San Antonio, Texas to Marie Lynette Cook and Steven Robert Bates. He attended St. Luke’s Episcopal School, a private school through 5th grade. He started playing basketball and was on the school team, The Trojans. He went to Alamo Heights Jr. High School through 8th grade. He was on the basketball team and student council as well as played little league baseball where he rocked it. He started high school at Alamo Heights High, but after one semester moved to Alaska and lived there though his sophomore year. During summer break he returned home to Rockport, TX and attended Rockport-Fulton High School where he graduated in 1997. Bradley was getting ready to attend the Art Institute of Houston, a private 4-year college, but at the last minutes moved to Alaska to work with his dad in the seismic field. He could have been or done anything he wanted. He was super smart. He barley ever opened a book. He was also a very talented artist and wrote poetry. The family wrote, “My dad always knew how to lift me up. I knew that whenever we spent time together that is was precious, and special. I’ve never doubted the love he had for me. On Father’s Day, Mayson (Best Friend) brought me over to visit and bring him a card. He wanted to take me on a ride to the beach, and so we did. The sun was shining perfectly, it was golden hour. Riding up to the beach. I felt so cool, on top of the world. Ill never forget that feeling.” He was preceded in death by his father, Steven Robert Bates. He is survived by his mothers, Marie Cook of Fulton, TX, Toni Bates of Clam Gulch, AK and Gale Bates of Washington; sons, Austin (Mikayla) Brown of Sikeston, MO, Quentin Mejorado of Corpus Christi, TX, and Blaine Bates of Alaska; daughter, India Bates of Soldotna; brothers, Matthew (Amber) Bates of Oregon City, OR, Joe Hendricks of Washington and Michael Woodward of Kenai, AK; sisters, Angela Woodward of Kenai, Rachael Anderson of Nikiski, Nichole Woodward of Soldotna and Tiffany Woodward of Soldotna; nieces, Jayden Anderson of Nikiski, Willow Duncan of Soldotna, Brittany Bates of Oregon City, OR and Alyssa James of Soldotna, AK; nephew, Justin Anderson of Nikiski; grandchildren, Alanie and Maisyn Brown of Texas. Arrangements made by Peninsula Memorial Chapel & Crematory. Please visit or sign his online guestbook at AlaskanFuneral.com.

Former Nikiski resident, Jane Hammond, passed away peacefully at the age of 92 at her home in Wasilla, Alaska, on August 17, 2019. Jane was born in Los Angeles, California, on July 30, 1927, to Ernest and Georgia (Hoag) Hilsdorf, their only child. Growing up she excelled both academically and in sports, particularly golf and tennis. Jane attended Pomona College in Clairmont, California, where she earned her teaching degree. She first taught elementary school in California, but being an adventurous young lady, in 1952 she traveled north to Alaska via steamship to teach in Anchorage with her longtime friend, the late Margo Cook. Jane not only fell in love with Alaska, but also with a handsome Texan, “Lindy” Hammond, and they married on December 20, 1953. In 1963, Jane and Lindy, with their three small children, moved to Nikiski where Lindy had accepted a position with Chugach Electric. Jane returned to teaching after the kids were in school, and was a dedicated educator for many years at Nikiski Elementary. After retiring from the classroom, Jane was encouraged to run for the school board, and was elected for several terms, eventually serving as President of the Kenai Peninsula School Board. In their retirement, Jane and Lindy traveled across most of the lower 48, as well as Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. They enjoyed snowbirding between the Texas hill country, but returned to Alaska every summer. Jane became an accomplished home cook, and her dinner parties were not to be missed. In hearing of Jane’s passing, her friends and former colleagues recalled her intelligence and wit. She was always ready with a quip or a joke (or both). Jane is survived by her three children, Jennie (Dick) Weldin of Palmer, Laura (Chris) Kelley of Homer, and Dan (Jennie) of Soldotna. She is also survived by five grandchildren, Adrienne (Josh) Sullivan of Bend, Oregon, Mitch (Emily) Laird of Anchorage, Stephanie (Bart) Elhard of Seward, and Brady Hammond and Brianna Hammond of Soldotna. She also leaves four great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Lois Hoehn, of St. Louis, Missouri, as well as three nieces and one nephew. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Rebecca White and staff, the staff and fine caregivers at TLC At Home Care, LLC, and ANCOR Hospice Services. Jane was predeceased by her parents, husband, Lindy in 2009, and sisters- and brothers-in-law.

communications officer, said the railroad would have to wait until water recedes before they can assess what repairs would need to be made. The Snow River flows from an 8-mile-long glacier in the Kenai mountains. The glacier dams a side valley

that fills with rainwater and snowmelt that forms a lake half a mile long and up to 450 feet deep, according to information provided by the Chugach National Forest. When the lake fills 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.

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.

What others say

Next generation has a lot more to worry about than the economy

t’s not the economy, stupid. But it is debt. College debt, to be precise. That’s the pocketbook issue that’s propelling young voters to the polls in 2020, and it just might be at the top of the list, according to Pennsylvania students who attended the International Young Leaders Conference and Career Fair held recently at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology. The conference, co-sponsored by PennLive, is an annual event organize by summer interns of the World Affairs Council of Harrisburg to engage high school and college students in civic and global issues. This year’s conference focused on “Youth and Politics: 2020.” During tough economic times there are pocketbook issues that galvanize older voters: the economy, a volatile stock market, unemployment and jobs. That’s a group who has to worry about having roofs over their heads, utility bills and medical expenses. But the politically engaged young people who attended the young leaders conference seemed to have different priorities, and the economy wasn’t high among them. College debt was. It’s one of the single biggest issues for high school and college students about to enter the voting booths for the first time. They wanted to talk about it and to hear who’s doing what about it. They are definitely interested in who wants to erase it. But strange as it might seem to those over 40, climate change is just as important to many young voters. That’s right. Young people in Pennsylvania are worried about whether they will have a planet to live on. Many of them don’t think global warming is a hoax. They believe their science teachers. They frown on Styrofoam and plastic straws. They’re going to vote with the scientists. And there’s another issue high on their list: gun violence. They live with lockdowns and mass-shooter drills and the real threat of a gunman walking into their hallways. They’re impatient for solutions to a problem that has defined their childhoods. Direct and without apology, some students asked the experts, “What do you think is the best solution to limit access to gun ownership in the U.S.?” Many were still reeling from the fresh news of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, and they were thinking about what they faced when doors opened for a new school year only a few weeks away. Several who had just turned 18 years old took the time to sign up to vote. And they seemed determined to do so in 2020. Some of them contemplated taking it a step further and running for public office one day. The students heard from young people in both parties not much older than them who are candidates for public office. These young people weren’t just sitting around waiting for someone else to tackle the problems that seem to paralyze today’s lawmakers. They were ready to do something about them. What’s their chief obstacle? Entrenched older folks who block their paths and think they’re too young to know anything, they said. At least at the local level among the next generation of political leaders represented at the conference, there doesn’t seem to be the kind of political vitriol that separates Republicans and Democrats on the national stage. The young Republicans and Democrats debating the issues at the conference seemed to like each other and to understand the difference between debate over ideas and respect for the person. They sure modeled dignity and decorum a whole lot better than many of their senior elected officials. One other issue rose to the top of the list for the students at the Young Leaders Conference - immigration. Many of those at the conference were children of new immigrants, and some were born in other countries, themselves. They felt lucky to be in the United States but apprehensive about what some perceive as growing anti-immigrant sentiment. There was one young man from Quakertown who brought up the economy. But even his concerns were tied to college debt. His question: Will there will be a job waiting for him when he gets through high school and college? Will he get out of college with $40,000 in debt and an economy in the tank? Many of these young leaders will be heading into the polls for the first time in 2020, focused on their own set of issues. But it won’t be long before the rest join them, setting a new agenda both nationally and in our region. We’d better take notice now. It’s not just the economy, stupid. Today’s youth have a whole lot more on their minds than mere money. — Harrisburg Patriot News, Aug. 19

alaska voices | Julie Anderson

Tourism, entrepreneurial spirit shines

laska’s economy is growing and offers many advantages to expand due to our unique location. For those that are concerned that Alaska is facing a zero-growth future, I’d like to highlight a few of the many success stories that are happening throughout the state. I recently returned from a trip to Nome, where I was invited to attend the community reception for the visiting cruise ship passengers. Seeing a large Holland America cruise ship, the Maasadam, off the coast of this remote northwest Arctic community was impressive. There was another small cruise ship in port as well. The community provided a warm welcome, with people from the surrounding communities gathering in Nome to provide an opportunity for visitors to purchase local arts and crafts. Additionally, several entrepreneurs arranged to provide cultural and adventure tours for passengers to explore and learn more about the region. Unfortunately, the seas were high the day I arrived, and after one attempt to disembark the passengers, the ship’s Captain canceled the lightering activity due to safety concerns. Of course, this was the right call. While the day didn’t go quite as expected, it highlighted the need to expand the Port of Nome to be able

to accommodate increased traffic in the Arctic waters. I participated in a tour of the port, which emphasized all the activity that occurs in the region. Discussions with Nome city officials reinforced the need to have an Arctic port to be able to respond to increased traffic, emergency response capabilities, and national security concerns. Over 50 vessels of varying sizes are currently participating in the Nome offshore gold mining, there is a robust local fishing industry, and the port serves as an important transshipment facility for fuel, equipment, and other supplies to small communities in the region. These entrepreneurs are fully occupied, contributing to Alaska’s economy with a strong message that state government needs to work together to address the fiscal uncertainty and provide stability that will encourage further investment in the state. With the tourism industry reaching record highs, and the cruise ship passenger numbers increasing by 7% last year and estimated to increase by an additional 16.5% this year, more and more communities are expanding their offerings. The Huna Totem Corporation is another exemplary organization. They are currently building a second cruise ship dock in Hoonah and expanding their on-shore adventure tours. They have

quietly developed a significant and unique port of call in Hoonah, with over 70% of their workforce being shareholders. Hoonah is an exciting new venue for visitors in Alaska. As the industry looks to expand further, this opens numerous possibilities for Alaskan coastal communities. Unalaska is experiencing growth in this area as well. The Unalaska/ Port of Dutch Harbor Visitors Bureau accentuates places to stay and a few of the on- and off-short adventures tours the community offers, such as the birding and natural history tours, fishing charters, and sea excursions. We highly value tourism as one of Alaska’s core economic engines helping to enable self-sufficient and resilient communities. It’s the goal of the State Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development (DCCED) and this administration to assist free enterprise and enable entrepreneurs to do what they do best. Alaska has always been careful to balance development with cultural and environmental concerns. Working together to grow our economy and helping each other succeed, we can continue to make Alaska a vibrant place to work and live. Julie Anderson is commissioner of Alaska’s Department of Commerce, Community & Economic Development.

Lessons learned from past fires

am thankful for the presence and work of the Great Basin Incident Management Team and the Borough’s Office of Emergency Management. Their focus is suppression before the fire reaches a home. But what happens then? The protection of a home exposed to the fire front is handled by Structure Protection teams apparently composed of local firefighters. That’s a different organization from the Incident Management Team, and our expectations need to be realistic. I live in Kenai Keys, a subdivision west of the Swan Lake fire. Our subdivision would be threatened by wind blowing from the east, which up until this summer was the prevailing wind direction for us from Skilak Lake. I expect it still is, but much of this summer has been without wind and the windstorm we had a week ago was from the north. We’ve had two close calls from wildfires in the last five years and the lessons we learned are worth sharing. The fire crews that are here now can only do so much. Responsibility for that last few feet before the fire reaches your house is yours, not the firefighters. In May of 2014, the Funny River Fire burned past the south edge of Browns Lake heading east, a distance of 3 miles from us. At some point between the upper and middle forks of the Killey River, it became a crown fire burning above black spruce trees. The fire front created its own wind and raced north about a mile to the Kenai River. We could see flames above the trees and hear the roar for about 30 minutes before the fire front reached us. There were no fire maps and no warnings from fire crews or the borough. We had the Kenai River between us and the fire, which at that point is about 300 feet. The fire front curled over the far bank of the river and did not enter our subdivision. However, burning trees behind the front launched embers in the wind that settled in our subdivision. We had

several structure fires and one fire in root wads on the bank of the river. There were enough of us remaining in the subdivision to control the fires, but we learned some lessons. Most important, we can’t count on fire crews for close-in defense. The fires in our subdivision were from wind-carried embers that jumped the river. The fire crews were caught on the other side of the river, and they didn’t know we had structures burning. Armed with garden hoses, we doused the easy fires in gutters, roofs and decks. After what seemed like an eternity, the first fire crew arrived from Kasilof. They attacked the spot fires and were not hesitant as we had been, to cut into a structure to douse fires. They also called for helicopter support with water buckets. Fire crews continued to arrive later that day and began grid walking through our subdivision. It was reassuring to say the least, but without our being there and taking action the damage would have been far worse. The lesson from that fire was to be better prepared. Many of us acquired fire pumps and hoses, and we recognized the importance of being fire-wise on our properties. A neighbor across the river whose land had been enveloped in the fire front, miraculously survived with much of his spruce trees and structures undamaged. He had pumped water from the river onto his land for several days before the fire arrived. Whether this saved his property, or it was another factor, the lesson was that you as a property owner can’t off-load to fire crews the responsibility for protecting your property in the “home stretch.” The second fire that reached our subdivision was the Card Street fire in June 2015. It initially threatened from the north, but fire crews stationed at Dot’s Landing were able to defend that front. We watched from our subdivision as spray from their firehoses prevented the burn from moving downslope to houses along the river. But the fire burned around to the west of our subdivision toward the wildlife

refuge. We had our own fire pumps running, and a structure protection team was in the subdivision on the west side working from a boat harbor. They were good coaches on what we should expect. The Canadian water scooper aircraft were working the fire front initially on the north side of us and later on the west side. These guys were good. But later that day our local wind shifted and began blowing a part of the fire to the west — in our direction. It became a crown fire and moved fast. By this time our pumps had wet the ground around many houses. As the fire front approached, we left pumps running, and in my case, evacuated. The structures protection team was ordered to pull back to Dot’s Landing, but some residents remained and kept the pumps running. The fire engulfed a Fish and Game cabin just west of the subdivision and continued to burn toward us. We’re not sure what turned the fire, whether it was wet ground or the water scoopers dropping from above, but the fire turned about 100 feet from the edge of the subdivision next to the river. The structure protection team returned as soon as the fire front stalled, and they kept the afterfires under control. We had fire crews from all over Alaska, along with some hotshots from the Lower 48 based out of our subdivision to fight the fire in the wildlife refuge. Fires burned around us for several days and at one point a backfire was lit from Dot’s Landing to Kenai Keys Road to burn off an area that they believed would eventually burn. That’s two fires in the past five years. This morning the Swan Lake Fire is 5 mile east of us with winds forecast to blow our way tomorrow. We are encouraged by the efforts of the firefighters, especially in constructing a fire break and installing water hoses between Skilak Lake and the Sterling Highway. We are also appreciative of the Borough’s Office of Emergency Management who coordinates the local fire crews. But we’re starting our pumps.

‘Order’ on trade based on powerful, obscure law By Zeke Miller Associated Press

BIARRITZ, France — President Donald Trump is threatening to use the emergency authority granted by a powerful but obscure federal law to make good on his tweeted “order” to U.S. businesses to cut ties in China amid a spiraling trade war between the two nations. China’s announcement Friday that it was raising tariffs on $75 billion in U.S. imports sent Trump into a rage and White House aides scrambling for a response. Trump fired off on Twitter, declaring American companies “are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China.” He later clarified that he was threatening to make use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in the trade war, raising questions about the wisdom and propriety of making the 1977 act used to target rogue regimes, terrorists and drug traffickers the newest weapon in the clash between the world’s largest economies.

It would mark the latest grasp of authority by Trump, who has claimed widespread powers not sought by his predecessors despite his own past criticism of their use of executive powers. “For all of the Fake News Reporters that don’t have a clue as to what the law is relative to Presidential powers, China, etc., try looking at the Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977,” Trump tweeted late Friday. “Case closed!” The act gives presidents wide berth in regulating international commerce during times of declared national emergencies. Trump threatened to use those powers earlier this year to place tariffs on imports from Mexico in a bid to force the U.S. neighbor to do more to address illegal crossings at their shared border. It was not immediately clear how Trump could use the act to force American businesses to move their manufacturing out of China and to the U.S, and Trump’s threat appeared premature — as he has not declared an emergency with respect to

China. Even without the emergency threat, Trump’s retaliatory action Friday — further raising tariffs on Chinese exports to the U.S. — had already sparked widespread outrage from the business community. “It’s impossible for businesses to plan for the future in this type of environment,” David French, senior vice president for government relations at the National Retail Federation, said in a statement.

The Consumer Technology Association called the escalating tariffs “the worst economic mistake since the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 — a decision that catapulted our country into the Great Depression.” And trade association CompTIA stressed the logistical strain that would follow if companies were forced to shift operations out of China, saying it would take months for most companies. “Any forced immediate action would result in chaos,”

CEO Todd Thibodeaux said in emailed comments. The frequent tariff fluctuations are making it hard to plan and are casting uncertainty on some investments, said Peter Bragdon, executive vice president and chief administration officer of Columbia Sportswear. “There’s no way for anyone to plan around chaos and incoherence,” he said. Columbia manufactures in more than 20 countries, including China. This diversification helps shield the company from some fluctuations, but China is an important base for serving Chinese customers as well as those in other countries, Bragdon said. The company plans to continue doing business there. “We follow the rule of law, not the rule of Twitter,” he said. Presidents have often used the act to impose economic sanctions to further U.S. foreign policy and national security goals. Initially, the targets were foreign states or their governments, but over the years the act has been increasingly used to

punish individuals, groups and non-state actors, such as terrorists. Some of the sanctions have affected U.S. businesses by prohibiting Americans from doing business with those targeted. The act also was used to block new investment in Burma in 1997. Congress has never attempted to end a national emergency invoking the law, which would require a joint resolution. Congressional lawmakers did vote earlier this year to disapprove of Trump’s declared emergency along the U.S.-Mexico border, only to see Trump veto the resolution. China’s Commerce Ministry issued a statement Saturday condemning Trump’s threat, saying, “This kind of unilateral, bullying trade protectionism and maximum pressure go against the consensus reached by the two countries’ heads of state, violate the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and seriously damage the multilateral trading system and normal international trade order.”

By Marcelo Silva De Sousa Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — Backed by military aircraft, Brazilian troops on Saturday were deploying in the Amazon to fight fires that have swept the region and prompted antigovernment protests as well as an international outcry. President Jair Bolsonaro also tried to temper global concern, saying previously deforested areas had burned and that intact rainforest was spared. Even so, the fires were likely to be urgently discussed at a summit of the Group of Seven leaders in France this weekend. Some 44,000 troops will be available for “unprecedented” operations to put out the fires, and forces are heading to six Brazilian states that asked for federal help, Defence Minister Fernando Azevedo said. The states are Roraima, Rondonia, Tocantins, Para, Acre and Mato Grosso. The military’s first mission will be carried out by 700 troops around Porto Velho, capital of Rondonia, Azevedo said. The military will use two C-130 Hercules aircraft capable of dumping up to 3,170 gallons of water on fires, he said. An Associated Press journalist flying over the Porto Velho region Saturday morning reported hazy conditions and low visibility. On

Friday, the reporter saw many already deforested areas that were burned, apparently by people clearing farmland, as well as a large column of smoke billowing from one fire. The municipality of Nova Santa Helena in Brazil’s Mato Grosso state was also hard-hit. Trucks were seen driving along a highway Friday as fires blazed and embers smouldered in adjacent fields. The Brazilian military operations came after widespread criticism of Bolsonaro’s handling of the crisis. On Friday, the president authorized the armed forces to put out fires, saying he is committed to protecting the Amazon region. Azevedo, the defense minister, noted U.S. President Donald Trump’s offer in a tweet to help Brazil fight the fires, and said there had been no further contact on the matter. Despite international concern, Bolsonaro told reporters on Saturday that the situation was returning to normal. He said he was “speaking to everyone” about the problem, including Trump, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and several Latin American leaders. Bolsonaro had described rainforest protections as an obstacle to Brazil’s economic development, sparring with critics who say the Amazon absorbs vast amounts of greenhouse gasses and is crucial for efforts to contain climate change.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Aug. 25, the 237th day of 2019. There are 128 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 25, 1718, hundreds of French colonists arrived in Louisiana, with some settling in present-day New Orleans. On this date: In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed an act establishing the National Park Service within the Department of the Interior. In 1921, the United States signed a peace treaty with Germany. In 1944, during World War II, Paris was liberated by Allied forces after four years of Nazi occupation. In 1965, former baseball player-turned-doctor Archibald “Moonlight” Graham, who’d briefly played in only one major league game (for the New York Giants), died in Chisholm, Minnesota, at age 87. In 1967, George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of the American Nazi Party, was shot to death in the parking lot of a shopping center in Arlington, Virginia; former party member John Patler was later convicted of the killing. In 1980, the Broadway musical “42nd Street” opened. (Producer David Merrick stunned the cast and audience during the curtain call by announcing that the show’s director, Gower Champion, had died earlier that day.) In 1981, the U.S. spacecraft Voyager 2 came within 63,000 miles of Saturn’s cloud cover, sending back pictures of and data about the ringed planet. In 1984, author Truman Capote (kuh-POH’-tee) was found dead in a Los Angeles mansion; he was 59. In 1993, Amy Biehl (beel), a 26-year-old Fulbright scholar from Newport Beach, Calif., was slain by a mob near Cape Town, South Africa. (The four men convicted in Biehl’s death claimed the attack was part of the war on apartheid; they were granted amnesty after confessing before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.) In 2001, rhythm-and-blues singer Aaliyah (ah-LEE’-yah) was killed with eight others in a plane crash in the Bahamas; she was 22. In 2004, an Army investigation found that 27 people attached to an intelligence unit at Abu Ghraib (grayb) prison near Baghdad either approved or participated in the abuse of Iraqi prisoners. In 2017, Hurricane Harvey, the fiercest hurricane to hit the U.S. in more than a decade, made landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas, with 130 mph sustained winds; the storm would deliver five days of rain totaling close to 52 inches, the heaviest tropical downpour ever recorded in the continental U.S. The hurricane left at least 68 people dead and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage in Texas. Ten years ago: Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal lion of the U.S. Senate, died at age 77 in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, after a battle with a brain tumor. President Barack Obama announced he wanted to keep Ben Bernanke (bur-NANG’-kee) on as Fed chairman. South Korea’s first rocket, the Naro-1, blasted off into space but ended up falling back to Earth. A judge in Los Angeles sentenced Chris Brown to five years’ probation and six months’ community labor for beating his girlfriend Rihanna (ree-AN’-nuh). Five years ago: A funeral was held in St. Louis for Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old shot to death by a police officer in suburban Ferguson on August 9th. At the Emmy Awards, ABC’s “Modern Family” won best comedy series for the fifth time, while the final season of AMC’s “Breaking Bad” captured the top drama award and a trio of acting honors for its stars, including Bryan Cranston. One year ago: Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, who had spent years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam before a 35-year political career that took him to the Republican presidential nomination, died at the age of 81 after battling brain cancer for more than a year. After initially threatening Hawaii as a Category 5 hurricane, Tropical Storm Lane began to break apart as it veered west into the open Pacific; rainfall totals from the storm on Hawaii’s Big Island approached four feet.

MIAMI — A newly formed tropical depression has strengthened into the fourth tropical storm of this year’s Atlantic hurricane season. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says Tropical Storm Dorian is moving west and could reach hurricane strength Tuesday. At 5 p.m. EDT, the storm’s center was located at about 725 miles eastsoutheast of Barbados and was moving west at 12 mph. Maximum sustained winds were clocked at 40 mph. Dennis Feltgen of the hurricane center said that it’s too early to tell exactly what path the storm will take. Residents of the central and northern Lesser Antilles should monitor the storm’s progress. No watches or warnings have been issued.

Western states oppose plan to charge for U.S. reservoir water BISMARCK, N.D. — Attorneys general from a dozen western states want the Trump administration to halt a proposal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that they say usurps states’ authority over their own water. North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem

said the Water Supply Rule proposed in the waning days of the Obama administration could allow the Corps to charge for water drawn from reservoirs it manages. Stenehjem and attorneys general from Idaho, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming sent a letter Thursday to the Trump administration asking to withdraw the proposal, which has lingered for nearly three years. Stenehjem said Friday he thought the proposal had languished but attorneys general recently learned that it was still being reviewed.

Strip down, saddle up: Naked bikers hit Philadelphia streets PHILADELPHIA — Hundreds of bicyclists have been caught with their pants down — and their shirts and underwear off, too. The cyclists gathered in a Philadelphia park on Saturday to disrobe before saddling up and setting off on the annual Philly Naked Bike Ride About 3,000 riders pedal a 10-mile course around the City of Brotherly Love while taking in sights including Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, organizers say. Some riders wear their birthday suits while others flaunt their underwear or sport just a splash of body paint and glitter. — Associated Press

Season preview: Beeson returns to Kenai Big question looming over runners is how much wildfire smoke affects short season By Jeff Helminiak Peninsula Clarion

There is a Beeson coaching a fall sport at Kenai Central High School again. No, not Jim Beeson, who rolled up 103 wins in 19 seasons as the head coach at Kenai before serving various roles with the football program and retiring from the school in 2014. Beeson’s daughter, Bailey, takes over the reins of the Kardinals’ highly successful cross-country program. Beeson graduated from Kenai in 2012 and ran crosscountry and track at Division II Western Oregon. She returned to the Kenai Peninsula to teach and coach in Homer last school year, and now has come all the way back to Kenai. “I couldn’t be happier than to be back at Kenai,” she said. Beeson is teaching at Kenai Middle School, where she has the same principal — Vaughn Dosko — as she did when attending the school. Beeson said her name carries high expectations and she’s not shying away from that. “Everyone holds high expectations and I like that, I truly enjoy that, because that pushes me to be better for the kids,” Beeson said. “My dad always said do what I would teach you do to, then do it a little more. “I’m continuously introduced as Mr. Beeson’s daughter and that hasn’t quite gotten tiring yet. No complaints there.” Beeson takes over a program that has recently been one of the best in the state, particularly on the girls side. A girl from Kenai has won the region title in seven of the last eight years, with Allie Ostrander winning from 2011 to 2014, Riana Boonstra winning in 2015, Addison Gibson winning in 2017 and Jaycie Calvert winning in 2018. The Kardinals girls also have four straight region

team titles. At the state level, Ostrander collected titles from 2012 to 2014 and Calvert won last year. The Kenai girls won state in 2015 and 2018, with runner-up finishes in 2016 and 2017. The boys also are on the rise, qualifying for state last season for the first time since 2014. “Once they see what they can do, they’re more likely to work harder and stick at it,” Beeson said. “Running is a very difficult sport not to get any reward from.” Beeson said the girls program needs to build depth after losing top runners Calvert and Brooke Satathite, while the boys have that depth and are ready to make

noise at Division II. As usual, a Division II state berth in Region 3 will be tough. There are four state berths up for grabs, with traditional powerhouses Grace Christian, Anchorage Christian Schools, Kenai, Homer and Seward all in the hunt. The Homer girls had a string of four straight region titles snapped last season, but 2017 state champ Autumn Daigle, a senior, returns to lead a talented squad. Second-year coach Bob Ostrom also said the boys have another state berth in their sights. Shelly Walker takes over the Seward program and is looking to build on the

tradition of Dan Marshall, who stepped down after the 2017-18 school year after 23 years at the helm. Both Seahawks squads missed state last year. While Walker said the girls are still in a building mode, the boys will be a team to watch. “We’re going to get some very solid training, that’s science- and research-based,

under them so they are strong and fit and have a very fast region race,” Walker said. Soldotna is the lone Division I school left on the peninsula, and also the smallest school at that level in Division I. Yet Ted McKenney, who has over 30 years of coaching experience on the peninsula and is in his sixth year at Soldotna, got both his

girls and boys teams to state last season. “It’s always really tough to make it to state,” McKenney said. Excitement also is high at Nikolaevsk, which competes as a Class 1A school in Region II. The state meet this year will feature a Class 1-2A race, See run, Page B3

Nikiski volleyball captures Homer Jamboree Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The defending Class 3A state volleyball champion Nikiski Bulldogs got their defense off to a winning start Saturday in Homer, capturing the Homer Jamboree tournament title with a 2-1 win over the host Mariners. Nikiski won with game scores of 17-25, 25-22 and 15-10, drawing praise from head coach Stacey

Segura. “I think we’re looking really good,” Segura told the Homer News. “I think that the girls came in trying to be what they were last year, and we have to relearn how to play together. “I mean, we have to do it every year regardless if we’re the state champions or last place.” Soldotna took third place with a 2-0 match win over Kenai Central, winning with games of 25-20 and

25-16. The Homer Jamboree was the lone prep sports event held on the peninsula this weekend due to a travel restriction ban by the Kenai Peninsula Borough School district that cancelled four varsity football games and the Tsalteshi Invitational cross-country meet. Last fall, Segura coached the Bulldogs to their first state volleyball title in 18 years, but lost several starting seniors to graduation,

leaving questions of how strong a team would return in 2019. Homer had beaten Nikiski in the teams’ earlier pool play match with scores of 22-20 and 21-12, but the Bulldogs had the last laugh. “I think it was just really fun to see them get better here in a way where we struggled to work together, and then by the end we had to figure out how to do it, and they forced themselves to,” Segura said. “I have some really strong, level-headed kids, and

we have a lot of that championship experience, so when it comes down to it, I think that we have that niche for that.” Homer and Nikiski secured their spots in the final with successful pool play.

INDIANAPOLIS — Andrew Luck watched one last game from the sideline Saturday. Then he said goodbye to the NFL. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback heard boos as he walked away from the field, then walked to the podium and made the surprise decision official. The oft-injured star is retiring at age 29. “I’m in pain, I’m still in pain. It’s been four years of this pain, rehab cycle,” Luck said. “It’s a myriad of issues — calf strain, posterior ankle impingement, high ankle sprain. Part of my journey going forward will be figuring out how to feel better.” Luck wasn’t planning to make the announcement following Saturday’s 27-17 loss to the Chicago Bears. But when ESPN first reported the news during the fourth quarter, Luck changed the plan for a Sunday afternoon announcement. Instead, he held a 25-minute

impromptu news conference. At times he sounded wistful. At others, his voice cracked with emotion. One thing was clear: The endless barrage of injuries stripped away his joy for the game and prompted him to walk away so he could enjoy the life he wants. “There’s no doubt when you hear him talk about the cycle of pain and injury and rehab, you can hear that,” coach Frank Reich said. “There’s a saying in football that everyone knows and everybody lives by, it’s next man up and even though this situation is unique, no one is exempt.” That task now falls to Jacoby Brissett, a fourth-year player whom the Colts acquired in a cutdown weekend trade two years ago who has been practicing with the starters since April. He went 4-11 as a starter in the 2017 season after taking over for opening day starter Scott Tolzien. But the Colts had already been preparing for the possibility Luck

might not be ready for the Sept. 8 season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Luck was diagnosed with a strained left calf in March and team officials kept him out of all of the team’s offseason workouts. He returned to limited action when training camp opened in late July. After three practices, though, the lingering pain near his ankle forced him back into rehab. He hadn’t practiced with the team since, though he did throw passes in pregame warmups before last week’s preseason game. “I had a thought that it might be my last time throwing at Lucas Oil as a current member of the Colts team,” Luck said. “And I wanted to make sure I could go out and enjoy it.” It wasn’t just the leg, though. He played with shoulder pain for most of 2015 and 2016, and his 2015 season ended when he suffered a lacerated kidney. He missed all of 2017 following shoulder surgery and then the happy-go-lucky former

Stanford star dealt with more pain and more endless months of rehab. The Colts bet big on Luck in 2012. They cut an injured Peyton Manning to take Luck with the top overall pick, fully believing he would be their franchise quarterback for the next 10 to 15 years. Team owner Jim Irsay called it a “no-brainer” because his aging team needed to rebuild. “I never felt that he (Luck) owed me to play until he’s 40 or until he’s 36 or whatever,” Irsay said. “I mean, this is an unusual situation.” Luck delivered quickly on his promise. He led the Colts to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons and to the AFC championship game after the 2014 season — without missing a start. But a subpar offensive line struggled to keep Luck upright and in 2015, the shoulder and kidney injuries forced him to miss nine games. The Colts finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs. In 2016, after Luck opted not to have shoulder surgery, then coach

Chuck Pagano gave Luck extra days off to try and keep him healthy. Luck made 15 starts that season though the Colts again finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs. While Luck had surgery for a partially torn labrum in January 2017, he never felt right and after throwing for two weeks in the fall was shut down for the rest of the season. Last year, Luck looked like his old self. He established career highs in attempts (639), completions (430) and completion rate (67.3 percent), throwing for 4,593 yards with 39 touchdowns and 15 interceptions as he led the Colts back to the playoffs, earned his fourth Pro Bowl selection and was the runaway winner of the league’s Comeback Player of the Year award. Then came the mysterious calfankle injury that again never felt quite right. So after marrying his longtime girlfriend this spring and now awaiting the birth of his first child, Luck called it quits.

Valdez football topples Seward Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The Valdez Buccaneers demolished Seward 32-6 Saturday afternoon in the lone varsity football game for a peninsula team this weekend. Four other football games involving peninsula teams were cancelled due to a travel restriction ban instituted by the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District due to the Swan Lake Fire. The Tsalteshi Invitational cross-country meet was also canceled, and the Seward cross-country, volleyball and swimming teams were left out of action as well. However, because the bus ride to Valdez misses the crucial Cooper Landing corridor where the fire and smoke is heaviest, the Seahawks were able to make the trip to play, even after the district restrictions and wildfire smoke hanging in the town of Seward meant the football program was forced to practice indoors all week. It led to a tough game Saturday, according to head coach Kelly Cinereski. “We looked like we hadn’t practiced all week,” Cinereski said. “Valdez is good, give them credit. They looked really good.” Cinereski said the last

time the Seward team practiced outside was before their Week 1 game against Monroe Catholic, over a week earlier. The lone score of the game for Seward came late in the second quarter, Cinereski said, when quar terback Tommy Cronin found Collin Mullaly on a 45-yard connection. The touchdown pass helped cut the Valdez lead to 19-6 by halftime. Mullaly ended up leaving the game with an injury, and Cinereski said he likely would be held out of next week’s Thursday night game against Redington. Cinereski said the Seahawks were able to get in some much-needed reps in the second half when the Bucs built up a daunting lead. “We’ve got some work to do,” he said. “Our quarterback got to throw the ball around a bit, we had some positive things, but the running game and handoffs … they looked like we’ve practicing in the mat room all week.” Seward drops to 0-2 overall this year with their first Peninsula Conference game yet to come. The Seahawks host Redington on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.

No. 8 Florida gets past Hurricanes ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Feleipe Franks was clutch one minute and confused the next, showing the kind of inconsistency that got him benched five times in two years. His job might be in jeopardy again if not for Florida’s defense. Franks made up for three inexcusable turnovers by accounting for three touchdowns, doing just enough to help the eighth-ranked Gators beat rival Miami

24-20 Saturday night in a wild and wacky opening game of the college football season. “Last five minutes of the game, I aged 10 years,” Florida coach Dan Mullen said. “That was exhausting.” Franks threw for 254 yards and two scores and ran for another as the Gators won for just the second time

in their last nine meetings with the Hurricanes. Franks also threw two interceptions — both horribly inaccurate passes — in the fourth quarter. He looked anywhere from good to great, from lost to downright awful. He dropped in a perfect pass to Josh Hammond that gained 65 yards and

set up the go-ahead score in the fourth and later in the quarter threw right to a defender. He also fumbled in the first half while deciding what to do on a readoption play. Florida’s defense bailed Franks out time and time again, finishing with a staggering 10 sacks and 16 tackles for a loss.

CIA soccer falls to Birchwood Christian Staff report The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team fell in a 1-0 loss to Birchwood Christian on Saturday in Chugiak. The Eagles lost one day after a scheduled game against Lumen Christi was canceled due to wildfire smoke conditions. CIA head coach Kenny Leaf said that the Eagles dominated possession but

struggled to find the back of the net against Birchwood. The lone goal of the game came on a “defensive mistake” in the 37th minute, and the result held through to the end. Leaf said CIA kept up the second half pressure with shots from Linneah Doshe, Lucas Cragg, Noah Castenholz and Isaac Johnson, but the Eagles failed

to crack the Birchwood defense. After Jackson Cross started in goal for CIA, Jared Vyhmeister kept a clean sheet in goal for the second half. The loss dropped the Eagles to 0-1-1 on the season, with upcoming home games against Holy Rosary Academy and Delta Junction on the schedule.

Jansen escapes late jam, Dodgers nip Yanks By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Kenley Jansen escaped a bases-loaded jam in a bizarre ninth inning that saw both managers on the field trying to figure out what happened, and the Los Angeles Dodgers held off the New York Yankees 2-1 Saturday. Jansen struck out Mike Tauchman and pinch-hitter Gary Sánchez to end a matchup between the teams with the best records in baseball. But it was the play right before that to load the bases that left most everyone in the ballpark wondering what was going on.

NATIONALS 7, CUBS 2 CHICAGO — Trea Turner reached base four times and scored twice, Yan Gomes and Howie Kendrick each drove in two runs and surging Washington beat Chicago. Washington has won four straight and six of seven to extend its lead over Chicago for the top NL wildcard spot to three games.

RED SOX 5, PADRES 4 SAN DIEGO — Brock Holt homered on All-Star closer Kirby Yates’ first pitch of the ninth inning to lift Boston past San Diego. The Red Sox blew a 4-0 lead before Holt put them ahead again by hitting his third homer of the season to open the ninth. The ball sailed over right fielder Hunter Renfroe and into the Home Run

Deck. Yates dropped to 0-4.

ORIOLES 7, RAYS 1 BALTIMORE — Pedro Severino hit his first career grand slam, Hanser Alberto and Jonathan Villar homered on successive pitches and Baltimore beat Tampa Bay. John Means (9-9) allowed one run and five hits over seven innings. He struck out seven and walked none.

PIRATES 14, REDS 0 PITTSBURGH — Josh Bell topped 100 RBIs for the first time in the majors, hitting a three-run homer as Pittsburgh routed Cincinnati. After Colin Moran gave Pittsburgh a 7-0 lead with a pinch-hit grand slam in the sixth inning, Bell lined a fastball from Kevin Gausman into the left-field bleachers in the seventh to reach 102 RBIs.

PHILLIES 9, MARLINS 3 MIAMI — Corey Dickerson had four hits and five RBIs as Philadelphia beat Miami.

INDIANS 4, ROYALS 2 CLEVELAND — Franmil Reyes hit a three-run homer to help Cleveland beat Kansas City in a game in which the Indians lost third baseman Jose Ramirez to a right wrist injury.

Reyes’ 30th homer of the season highlighted a four-run third inning against the Royals’ Glenn Sparkman (3-9).

ASTROS 5, ANGELS 2 HOUSTON — Alex Bregman hit his career-high 32nd homer and Wade Miley earned his seventh straight win as Houston beat Los Angeles. The AL-West leading Astros tied the New York Yankees for the best record in the AL at 84-47. The Angels lost their fourth in a row.

RANGERS 4, WHITE SOX 0 CHICAGO — Willie Calhoun and Danny Santana homered, rookie Kolby Allard pitched into the seventh inning and Texas beat Chicago. Allard (2-0) allowed six hits, struck out eight and walked none in his fourth start since he was acquired in a trade with Atlanta last month.

GIANTS 10, ATHLETICS 5 OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Vogt’s three-run homer highlighted an eight-run eighth and broke it open against his former club, Kevin Pillar hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in San Francisco’s biggest inning of 2019, and the Giants beat Oakland. Brandon Crawford homered in

the fifth and hit an RBI single in the eighth, when San Francisco tied it on a wild pitch by A.J. Puk, before Pillar’s double to right. Evan Longoria had RBI singles in the sixth and eighth off loser Yusmeiro Petit (3-3).

BLUE JAYS 7, MARINERS 5 SEATTLE — Bo Bichette and Teoscar Hernandez hit solo home runs, and Toronto spoiled Felix Hernandez’s return to the mound, beating Seattle. Felix Hernandez struck out four over 5 2/3 innings and allowed just three hits in his first appearance since May 11. However, Toronto took advantage of Seattle’s bullpen and rallied with a four-run seventh inning to snap a six-game losing streak.

CARDINALS 6, ROCKIES 0 ST. LOUIS — Harrison Bader homered, Dakota Hudson allowed just two hits over six innings, and St. Louis defeated Colorado. Hudson (13-6) extended his consecutive scoreless innings streak to a career-high 18 2/3 as the Cardinals won their third straight and sixth in their last seven games.

BREWERS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 0 MILWAUKEE — Eric Thames and Trent Grisham hit back-to-back homers, Keston Hiura knocked

in two runs and Chase Anderson pitched five strong innings as Milwaukee blanked Arizona. With the win, Milwaukee pulled within two games of Chicago in the race for the second NL wild-card spot. Arizona dropped 5½ games back of the Cubs, who lost to the Nationals earlier in the day.

BRAVES 9, METS 5 NEW YORK — Newly signed Francisco Cervelli had three hits and three RBIs in his Atlanta debut, and the Braves won their seventh straight. Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth, and Billy Hamilton dashed home with another run on the play thanks to a mental lapse by the Mets. Freddie Freeman hit his careerhigh 35th home run in the ninth. Ozzie Albies and Josh Donaldson also went deep for the NL East-leading Braves.

TWINS 8, TIGERS 5 MINNEAPOLIS — Miguel Sano’s three-run homer capped a five-run rally in the fifth inning, Jake Cave and Max Kepler also connected and AL Central-leading Minnesota beat Detroit. Sano and Cave homered twice Friday night in a 9-6 loss to the Tigers, who have the worst record in the league. The Twins trailed 4-1 in this game before their comeback.

Koepka holds 1-shot lead at Tour Championship ATLANTA (AP) — A storm delay at the Tour Championship slowed the momentum of Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas, right when they were starting to pull ahead in the chase for the $15 million FedEx Cup. The final hour Friday showed how quickly it can change — and for Rory McIlroy, why no one is holding back in the season finale. Koepka didn’t make a birdie on the back nine until

3A race and 4A race, instead of just a Class 1-2-3A race and Class 4A race. Coach Steve Klaich, who started the program 11 years ago, said his team is excited about the new format. The only thing tempering the excitement for the area cross-country teams is all the wildfire smoke. The Tsalteshi Invite has already been canceled and all of every team’s meets are in Southcentral Alaska, which has a wildfire smoke problem that looks as if it will come and go for quite some time. “You look at our season, it’s Bartlett, Palmer, Seward, Tsalteshi, Palmer and Bartlett,” Beeson said. Walker said the disturbing part of the season so far is that with all the incredible running trails available in the Seward area, the middle of the week found the team playing water polo in the school pool due to all the smoke in the air. Similarly, the Stars were practicing in the SoHi Commons late in the week, while Kenai had to practice in the Kenai Middle School gym. The following is a closer look at the Kenai Peninsula’s cross-country programs:

Soldotna Stars McKenney, along with assistant coach Kent Peterson, has 59 runners out for the team. “Mr. Peterson and I think we have a healthy program,” McKenney said. “The kids enjoy the fun and discipline.” The coaches make room for all runners in the program by having three groups at practice — aggressive, moderate and beginner. The girls finished second at regions last year for their first state berth since 2015. Palmer, behind a title from then-freshman Katey Houser, won regions for the first time since 1989.

the par-5 18th when he hit 5-iron from 239 yards to 8 feet behind the hole. He had to settle for a two-putt birdie, a 3-under 67 and a one-shot lead. Because he started the tournament at 7-under par as the No. 3 seed, he was at 13 under going to the weekend. “The lead is always nice, so I’ll take that,” Koepka said. “The rain delay kind of killed any momentum I had. I didn’t feel like I had any good golf shots after the rain delay,

but that’s part of golf. Everybody’s got to deal with the same thing.” He was one shot ahead of Justin Thomas, who played his final 10 holes in 1 over for a 68, and McIlroy, who had a birdie-birdie finish. And just not any birdie. McIlroy, who trailed by four shots early on the back nine, sent his drive on the 18th hole so far to the right it brought the out-of-bounds practice range into play. He

was fortunate to have his ball in dirt under a pine tree, leaving him 242 yards away. McIlroy decided to choke up on a 5-wood and slice it around a tree some 50 yards in front of him, then over the water and near the green. It came out perfectly, landing in a tiny strip of grass behind bunkers. He got up-and-down for a 67 and was right where he needed to be. “I felt comfortable doing it,”

McIlroy said. Xander Schauffele also made a late surge with a birdie-eagle finish, holing a 25-foot putt on the par-5 18th for a 69. He was two shots behind. Paul Casey had a 67 and was four shots behind at 9 under. Giving McIlroy good vibes going into the weekend was the score no one sees. McIlroy and Casey are at 7-under 133 over two days, the best 36-hole score in the 30-man

field. So he figures he’s doing something right with his game. The scoring for the FedEx Cup underwent a radical change this year, with players in the highest position in the FedEx Cup getting a head start in relation to par. Thomas is the No. 1 seed and started at 10 under before a shot was even hit. Koepka began at 7 under, McIlroy started at 5 under and Schauffele was at 4 under.

“They’re going to be really hard to overcome,” McKenney said of the Moose. “They’re young, and they’re going to be led by her again.” The Stars return senior Cameron Blackwell, junior Erika Arthur and sophomores Jordan Strausbaugh, Jordan Ruffner and Ellie Burns to lead another charge to state. Sophomore Kaidence Schaeffer, junior Katie Delker and senior Ryann Cannava all add critical depth. McKenney said the group has been gladly taking on extra workouts. “They’re a nice, strong group, and they’re good to each other,” he said. The boys have been to state the past two years and will be led by seniors Bradley Walters and Lance Chilton. “He’s a fine young man and a good leader,” McKenney said of Walters. “Tonight, I asked if anybody wanted to stay for extra units and because he did, other guys jumped in.” Junior Anchor Musgrave worked hard to be the No. 3 runner on the team, while senior Jack Harris, junior Zach Burns and sophomores Maleda Denbrock and Quinn Cox fill out the team. “They compete with each other,” McKenney said. “It’s going to be really hard to make boys varsity. There’s like 16 kids that want those seven spots.”

“It’s a big help to have that carrot out there,” he said. “They’ll have to work hard to

get to state.” The girls have a ton of potential because they’ll have

Homer Mariners In his second year, Ostrom saw his numbers swell from about 12 to over 20 with the start of school this week. “Getting to state looks good for both the boys and girls,” Ostrom said. “The girls have a lot of depth and the freshmen on the boys side have to get up to speed.” The boys have talented runners up front in juniors Clayton Beachy, Eyoab Knapp and Daniel Reutov, and sophomore Austin Cline. “The rest is up in the air,” Ostrom said. “We’ll let those freshmen sort it out.” Ostrom says he loves

state in Daigle and junior Brooke Miller. Ostrom said Daigle took note as Calvert worked hard for her senior year and went undefeated against 3A competition. “That totally inspired her to work hard all summer and set high goals for this year,” he said. Daigle’s family fishes in the summer, and Daigle faithfully found a road somewhere to run on when the fishing was done. When the family came to town once a week for supplies, Daigle fit in a track workout. “Brooke has been running a lot in the summer program,” Ostrom said. “I’m looking forward to how she improves. We’ll have somebody pushing Autumn. They’ll feed off each other.” Sophomore Haylee Overson also returns, while a promising freshman class is led by Eryn Field. “We’re waiting to see who starts moving up at the meets,” Ostrom said.

Nikiski Bulldogs Anna Widman returns after taking a year off from coaching and has five runners out for the team. “I took one year off for a sabbatical but it’s nice coming back to it,” she said. “It’s like coming back to an old friend. I’m enjoying hanging out with the kids again.” The boys team is made up of seniors Bryan McCollum and Joey Yourkoski, junior Boden Quiner and German foreign exchange student Yorik Bostuck. “I’m excited about this year,” Widman said. “They’ll push each other and that seems to be the most valuable thing for this age group.” Junior Emily Hufford makes up the entire girls team.

Beeson and assistant coach Mike Bergholtz have the numbers in the program up to about 35. It says something about the mind-set of the program at this point that both the girls and boys have set their No. 1 goal as winning state. On the girls side, Beeson said it will be tough to replace the departed runners. “Right now, we don’t have the depth,” Beeson said. “We need to build a foundation. They’re young and I’m looking forward to what is to come, but to work toward a state goal we’ve got to have that depth.” Freshman Jayna Boonstra is currently the fastest runner on the team, while sophomore Logan Satathite is just behind. Sophomores Summer Foster and Leah Fallon have been a little sick lately, but Beeson said she’s happy to get that out of the way earlier in the season rather than later. Junior Kaya Cox is the only upperclassman on the team and also will serve as captain. Freshman Mikaela Hall also is showing promise. “The team is really strong academically,” Beeson said. “They really want a 4.0 and the academic award at state.” On the boys side, the goal is a state title and Beeson said the Kards are working like they really want one. “The boys have the depth I wish the girls had,” she said. “They’ve got upperclassmen leading, working and keeping everyone going.” Leading the way is junior Maison Dunham, who was third at the region race and sixth in the state last season. Sophomore Joe Hamilton followed a training program written for him this summer by Ostrander and also is ready for a big year. “It’s been really good,” Beeson said. “Joe Hamilton has someone to push him even harder.” The open secret in crosscountry is McKenney will help runners regardless

of school, and McKenney encouraged sophomore Nathan Haakenson to train this summer, setting Haakenson up for a big year. The Kardinals also get depth from seniors Josh Foster and Tucker Mueller, sophomore Tyler Hippchen and freshman Ky Calvert. Mueller was named captain of the team. Beeson said there are a number of other runners challenging for a varsity spot. “I see a lot of potential with them,” she said. “We did a really hard workout (Wednesday) and they were all very nervous about it, but all I had to do is get them started, and once I got them started they got through the entire thing.”

Seward Seahawks Walker was Marshall’s assistant coach for a few years, so she knows what type of program she has inherited. Walker had been coaching her daughters at the middle school, but with Alexi Walker now a freshman, Walker decided to go for the high school job when it opened up. There are 16 out for the team this year, but Walker remembers one year when Marshall had 55 of the 180 kids in the school out for cross-country. “Dan created so many lifelong runners,” Walker said. “They could have been defined by any other sport.” Walker said the tradition of great running carries on to this day, with community members volunteering to run with the boys team because Walker cannot keep up with them. Junior Max Pfeiffenberger was the lone Seward runner to make state this year. He is joined by seniors Bjorn Nilsson and Jaden Van Dyke, and juniors Levi DeBoard, Trey Ingalls, Sam Koster and Clay Petersen. “I’m really excited to get them dialed in and have them start to work together and push each other,” Walker said.

On the girls side, Walker is building for the future. “I don’t know if I’ll fill a varsity team because they are so young,” Walker said. “I don’t have any seniors. I have three juniors and three freshmen, and I don’t want to run freshmen at varsity. “We’re growing right now

and we’ve got a young team with a lot of potential.” The juniors are Hana Cooney, Lucy Hankins and Maranatha Bruekner.

Nikolaevsk Warriors Klaich has five runners out for the team.

Sophomore Justin Trail and senior Isabelle Hickman both will be looking for return trips to state, which takes a top-10 finish at the region meet. Also running for the Warriors will be seniors Sophia Klaich and Elizabeth Fefelov, and freshman Josiah Brown.

Terracotta’s triumphant return New takes on color ‘evokes that connection with nature and craft and working with the hands’

here was a time not that long ago when designers were tearing out anything terracotta-colored, whether it was tile, painted walls or upholstered furniture. A darling hue of the ’80s, the brownish orange — evocative of terracotta earthenware — was considered dowdy and done. But like so many examples of decor’s fickle temperament, terracotta’s come roaring back for another turn in the spotlight. And this isn’t the muddy, old-fashioned color you might be remembering. New takes on the hue bring in light to deep

pinks, or the ochre tones of a sunset. Pair those with today’s trending palette of graphite, blues and creams, and you’ve got something fresh yet friendly. Benjamin Moore’s color specialist Nivara Xaykao says the popularity of pink over the past few years has paved the way for stronger iterations of the palette. But there’s also something more happening, she says. “Because terracotta is literally drawn from the earth, it evokes that connection with nature and craft and working with the hands. It’s a warm, rich color, so it has energy to it,” she says. Taking the edge off that intensity are terracotta’s brown tones, making it comforting, something

welcome in today’s stressful world. If you’re thinking of paint, look at Benjamin Moore’s Warmed Cognac, Audubon Russet or Saddle Soap. From Behr , there’s Glazed Pot and Balcony Sunset. From Farrow & Ball , try Red Earth or Terre d’Egypt. At the design site Modsy , Vice-President of Style Alessandra Wood loves the new earthy neutrals. “They’re warmer and more inviting than some of the cooler color trends of the past few years,” she says. To avoid that ’80s/early ’90s, overly Southwest See terracotta, Page C2

Pruning: Knowing when as vital as knowing how By Dean Fosdick Associated Press

Pruning is one of the most fundamental tasks in gardening, and knowing when to trim is as essential as knowing how. Pruning woody plants at the wrong time can interrupt bloom cycles and damage stressed plants. “It’s time to prune whenever your pruners are sharp” is an old adage that applies only when removing diseased, dead or dying branches — the “three D’s” of pruning that can be done at any time. Otherwise, certain times of the year are better for pruning than others, based on plant life cycles, said Ryan Pankau, an Extension horticulturist with the University

of Illinois. “It’s pretty safe to say that most woody plants are best pruned in winter, during their dormant period,” Pankau said. “At other times of the year, such as leaf out, leaf drop or during flowering, pruning can have a very negative impact on plant health.” Plants expend a lot of energy during those stages, and pruning can place undue stress on trees and shrubs because it causes so much of that vital energy to be lost, he said. Spring-flowering plants often bloom on flower buds produced the previous year. Pruning before spring flowering removes many of those buds, reducing the number of blooms that would have emerged. Pruning them shortly

after they flower gives them time to regenerate. “(But) If your plant is already stressed and it has to be pruned, it may be best to sacrifice some of the coming year’s flower buds and prune during winter, since pruning during dormancy has the least impact on plant health,” Pankau said. Why prune at all? Many reasons. Pruning eliminates the threat of property damage, controls plant growth, improves esthetics, boosts crop yields, shapes and rejuvenates, reduces disease threats and prevents insect infestations. Deciduous trees should be pruned in the spring, before they leaf, said Leonard Perry, Extension professor emeritus with the University of Vermont.

Summer-flowering shrubs, like hydrangea, should be pruned in early spring before they bud. Fruit trees should be pruned in late winter while they’re still dormant but before the buds begin to swell, Perry said. Evergreen trees usually don’t require pruning except for shaping. Pruning evergreen shrubs may be required in mid-summer to keep vigorously growing plants at the desired size, he said. “Wait until after flowering or, if the plant produces berries, after the berries fall,” Perry said in a fact sheet. Pruning is never the answer for maintaining a plant too large for its space, Pankau said. “Consider the mature size of the plant before deciding where

to plant it,” he said. “By selecting the right plant for the right place in your landscaping, you can avoid a lot of maintenance issues and you will have a much healthier plant in the long run.” Disinfect pruning equipment with alcohol before using it on another tree or shrub, Perry said. “Disinfecting tools helps reduce the spread of disease,” he said. As a general rule, wound dressings or pruning paints are unnecessary, said Bob Polomski, an Extension horticulturist with Clemson University. He cited studies showing “that these topical applications impair the natural wound closing process,” Polomski said. “In some cases, these paints trap moisture, which fosters fungal infections.”

Don’t want to buy? You can borrow household items By Melissa Kossler Dutton Associated Press

Amanda Blum enjoys trying new recipes and experimenting in the kitchen, but like many home cooks she’s reluctant to buy expensive and bulky kitchen appliances. So she was delighted to learn about Kitchen Share, a nonprofit near her home in Portland, Oregon, that loans out kitchen equipment. Bloom, who likes to preserve fruits and vegetables at this time of year, found a namebrand pressure canner there that makes the task easier and safer. Since then, she’s become a regular borrower, checking out Kitchen Share’s blender, ice cream maker and pressure cooker. “This is such a huge resource,” she said. “It solves the problem of having to buy all these things.” Around the country, traditional libraries and a small number of non-profit lending operations loan

out collections of household items: cake pans in Akron, Ohio; paintings in Minneapolis; telescopes in St. Louis; sewing machines in Rochester, New York. For traditional libraries, such items are a natural extension of their mission to provide resources to the community. Many of the other institutions see lending programs as a way to help people save money or lead more sustainable lives by owning fewer things. As with books, “it’s the idea of collections that are purchased by a group and used by multiple people over and over again,” said Jen Lenio, collections manager of the Rochester Public Library. The Rochester library system’s offerings are driven by patron interests, as well as a desire to assist low-income people, she said. The success of library craft classes inspired the staff to create borrowable knitting and crochet kits. Recognizing that the ability

to make or repair clothes could be useful, the team purchased sewing machines that patrons can check out. “We’re trying to fill needs that the community has,” Lenio said. The Akron-Summit County Public Library’s cake pan lending program was so popular, the institution decided to buy kitchen tools to circulate too. The items — including measuring cups, kitchen scales and baking dishes — appeal to the area’s large student population and younger patrons setting up households, among others, said Monique Mason, manager of the libraries’ science and technology division. The collection includes utensils that people might use only rarely, like a cherry pitter, candy molds and holiday cookie cutters, and bulky items they might not have room for. See borrow, Page C2

Invasive plants can’t run, hide from detection dogs By Mary Esch Associated Press

TUXEDO, N.Y. — In brushy terrain where a botanical interloper evades detection by the human eye, count on Dia to sniff it out. Dia is a spunky Labrador retriever trained to track down a yellow-flowered shrub that’s taking root in New York state parks. She’s one of a new breed of detection dog assisting conservationists in the fight against invasive species. With her handler, Joshua Beese, of the nonprofit New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, Dia began last fall to hunt for Scotch broom in Bear Mountain and Harriman state parks about 50 miles north of New York City. The shrub, which displaces native plants with thickets impenetrable to wildlife, is a widespread noxious weed in the Pacific Northwest but is fairly new to New York. Land managers hope to eradicate it before it becomes widespread. “If we had to find all these plants ourselves, combing the grass for every tiny plant, it would take so much longer — and we’d still miss a lot,” Beese said on a recent morning after Dia showed him hundreds of Scotch broom shoots hidden in a field of tall grass and sweetfern. Beese later uprooted them. The plants had been overlooked by

volunteers with the conference’s Invasives Strike Force who had previously pulled 2,500 plants from the search area. Detection dogs have long been used to sniff out drugs, explosives, cadavers and disaster survivors. In the mid ’90s, handlers started training them for conservation tasks such as sniffing out scat from endangered species and detecting trafficked ivory. Now, the olfactory prowess of detection dogs is becoming an important tool in the fight against invasive plants and insects. “Our field in the last 15 years has just exploded,” said Pete Coppolillo, executive director of the nonprofit Working Dogs for Conservation in Bozeman, Montana. The organization partners with government agencies, researchers and nonprofits on five continents to provide trained dogs and handlers for conservation projects. One of its handlers mentored Beese on training Dia. Working Dogs for Conservation has trained dogs to find spotted knapweed in Montana, Chinese bush clover in Iowa, yellow star thistle in Colorado, rosy wolf snails in Hawaii and brown tree snakes in Guam. It’s doing a feasibility study in Minnesota on using detection dogs to identify trees invaded by emerald ash borers. In five Western states, dogs have been employed to detect invasive zebra

and quagga mussels on boats. “We’ve trained over 200 dog and handler teams to help in global wildlife trafficking, and now we’re doing a lot of invasive species work,” Coppolillo said. “It’s really exciting. As ecologists we’ve always talked of invasives as something we manage, but now we may actually be able to eradicate them in some places.” Dyer’s woad, a knee-high weed from Russia that lights up roadsides with golden blossoms across the West, is a case study of how dogs can eradicate invasives that elude human crews. Weed-pulling teams had tried for years to get rid of the weed at Mount Sentinel in Missoula, Montana, without making much headway. A border collie and a golden retriever from Working Dogs for Conservation were brought in to focus the teams’ efforts. Within a few years the plants were almost gone. The key is that the dogs can sniff out plants hidden among other species, and they don’t need flowers to identify them like people do. “That’s a game-changer,” Coppolillo said. “Each plant can set up to 15,000 seeds a year, and seeds can live seven years in the soil. Dogs find plants before they flower and reproduce.” Working Dogs for Conservation trains shelter dogs for detection work, screening 1,000 dogs for every one they put to work. To

make the cut, the dogs have to be not only good sniffers and highenergy, but also seriously obsessed with toys so they’ll stay motivated to work for a reward: the chance to chomp a ball. In New York, Beese got Dia from a Wisconsin breeder specializing in field competition dogs. He taught her to hunt Scotch broom last fall and trained her on an invasive nonnative grass called slender false brome this summer. He plans to train his Belgian malinois, a certified search-andrescue dog, to sniff out spotted lanternfly, a destructive forest and agricultural pest discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014.

In the field, Dia takes off sniffing the air when Beese says “Go find!” She follows a targeted scent to its source and shows Beese each plant by touching it with her nose before sitting for a reward — a game of tug and fetch with her ball on a rope. Beyond field work, Dia is bringing awareness to the trail conference’s 8-year-old Invasives Strike Force program. “The great thing about dogs is that they’re charismatic and people love them,” said Arden Blumenthal, a conservation intern working with Beese. “It’s a great way to draw attention to the invasives issue. Let’s face it, plants aren’t all that sexy.”

How to keep your razors from adding to landfill waste By Alexandra Olson Associated Press

NEW YORK — How bad is your disposable razor for the environment? The question is gaining attention among consumers amid a growing global campaign against plastic waste, with cities and countries introducing bans on singleuse plastic bags and straws. Don’t worry, there’s no talk of banning your razor, which isn’t exactly single use. Still, billions of plastic razors and refill blade cartridges get tossed in landfills each year. Municipal recycling programs in the U.S. will not accept them because they are sharp objects made of mixed materials. What can be done? Well, there are no perfectly convenient options, aside from foregoing shaving altogether. For those concerned about an eco-friendlier shave, here are some things to know.

The fate of disposable razors The Environmental Protection Agency once estimated that 2 billion razors and refill blades

get tossed out in the U.S. each year. That figure is widely cited by recycling advocates and startups marketing eco-friendly razors. Gillette, the world’s leading razor brand, also cites the number on a website detailing a new recycling program for razors launched earlier this year. But the figure appears to date back to an EPA campaign from the late 1980s against a national “garbage crisis.” A 1990 “Environmental Consumer’s Handbook” on the EPA’s website says the U.S. produces “2 billion throwaway razors and blades” each year. The EPA now says it does not track the impact of disposable razors on the environment and has no update on the figure. It’s likely even higher. Last year, more than $1.2 billion in disposable razors were sold in the U.S, according to market research firm Euromonitor. Prices vary widely but many disposables are less than $1 each.

How to recycle razors There are few options for recycling razors. The French company

BIC started a razor recycling program in France a few years ago that didn’t last. Now, Gillette is trying out a similar idea in the U.S. in partnership with Terracycle, an organization that specializes in hard-to-recycle waste. All brands of razors are accepted. The easiest option is mailing the razors to Terracycle, but the shipping costs are on you. At no cost, you can deliver razors to drop-off centers on Terracycle’s interactive map. But with only 200 locations so far, the option is not practical for many. (There’s only one site so far in California, and six in Florida.) Stephanie Moses, an account director for Terracycle, said the program is growing quickly, and the map will be updated to show 350 locations by mid-August.

Bevel, the grooming lined aimed at black men, and Oui Shave, one of the few safety razor brands aimed at women. Safety razors are built to last, usually made of materials like steel or chrome. The only waste is the steel blades, and some municipalities recycle them. Oui founder Karen Young said she’s developing a map for her site to show which ones. Newcomer brand Leaf Shave allows customers to mail back their blades in a custom-made tin box for recycling. The tricky thing is that safety razors come with a higher upfront cost, ranging anywhere from $15 to more than $200 depending on the brand. However, the refill blades are cheap, as low as 20 cents each, compared to $2 for the average modern cartridge. You can familiarize yourself with established brands through long-time retailers like GroomingLounge.com and The Art of Shaving. Michael Gilman, founder of GroomingLounge.com, said safety razors are a small but fastgrowing part of his business, with blade sales tripling in the past year. Beginners should go for the

Are there other ecofriendly options? Safety razors are not made for rushed morning routines. And frequent fliers be warned: you can’t throw the blades into your carry-on luggage. The Transportation Safety Administration wrote a blog post about it after finding that “they’re making a comeback thanks to the close shave they provide and the extremely affordable price of the replacement blades.” If it’s not for you, at least switching to a cartridge with a reusable handle reduces the waste. Already, that is the more popular option among U.S. men, according to Euromonitor figures, though women in the U.S. still spend more money on fully disposable plastic razors.

lower-priced razors and look for closed-comb design and weighted handles, he said. If you are looking to try one out, however, most of the newer digital brands offer 30-day returns, regardless of whether the razor is used.

“When you look how much space a pasta maker or a food dehydrator takes up — do you really want to have to store these items?” Mason said. The library treats the items like books, allowing people to reserve them online and sending them to various branches for pickup, she said. Patrons are required to return the kitchen items clean, and are advised to wash them before using. St. Louis County Library in Missouri has a telescope lending program, which was suggested by the St. Louis Astronomical Society. It began in 2014 and was an “instant hit,” said director Kristen Sorth said. “People seem very appreciative of the opportunity and treat them very well,” Sorth said.

illuminate a cozy nook. Xaykao says the key to using terracotta successfully is restraint. “It’s great on an accent wall to show off artwork, textiles, open shelving or a beautiful headboard in the master bedroom. It can also be used to evoke materials like wood or leather, so I’d take a cue from the fixtures around you,” she says. “For example, terracotta could look lovely in a kitchen with gold hardware. A little bit of the color can go a long way, so it’s all about balance. I wouldn’t do a whole room in the color, especially if it’s a large room — the color needs space to breathe, so mix in some whites, neutrals and paler colors.”

Loaning telescopes aligns with the library’s interest in promoting science education, she said, by giving people access to cool equipment. “I’ve done it a couple of times. I had one as a kid and I like to see what I can see in the night sky,” said Craig Williams of St. Louis, who hopes to own one someday. In the twin cities, the Minneapolis Art Lending Library, a non-profit group, promotes art appreciation by lending out original works that borrowers can hang on their walls at home. Part of a library’s mission is to help patrons learn, and that isn’t limited to books, says Christine Feldmann, a spokeswoman for the Anne Arundel County Public Library in Annapolis, Maryland, which loans out fishing poles and ukuleles, among other items. “The library is really about connecting people with resources,” she said. “These programs are just an extension of that.”

Next Week: Let’s explore a cave!

Issue 34, 2019

Founded by Betty Debnam

Worlds Beneath Our Feet

Living in a cave

Mini Fact:

Conditions in caves are difficult. To survive, cave animals must adapt to the special conditions. Cave animals must be good at finding food. For example, cave fish are blind, but some have receptors in their heads that detect movement in the water. If food falls into an underground river, the fish can sense the movement, swim over and grab a snack.

The longest cave is Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. It’s 346 miles long.

Did you visit a cave this summer? They may seem scary, but we can think of caves as Earth’s museums. Much of what we know about the first days of people on Earth we learned from cave discoveries. Cave paintings were man’s first artwork. Humans wrote some of their first words on cave walls long before paper was invented. Caves also reveal to us the layers of the Earth, the materials found in them, and the forces that make them. More than 40,000 caves have been found in the United States. Some experts think we have discovered only about one-third of all the caves that exist in the world.

How are caves made?

Caves can be created in several different ways by powerful forces of nature. • Sea caves are created by waves pounding against weak rocks along rocky shores. • Solutional caves are created when Sea caves at Apostle water mixed with a Island National weak acid dissolves Seashore. away rocks such as limestone. They are called “solutional” because they are formed in rocks that can be dissolved by water. About one-fifth of the land in the United States has the type of landscape, called karst, where this kind of cave can form.

• Lava caves are created by the cooling of lava. A crust forms as lava cools. When the molten lava drains away, it leaves behind long tubes. Other types of caves can be created by wind, earthquakes and collapsed rocks.

Cave dwellers are animals whose bodies have adapted over time so they can spend all of their lives in caves. They live in the part of caves called the dark zone. Most are blind and could not survive Caves crickets have adapted to above life in caves. Notice their lack of pigment, or color, and their ground. long feeling antennae. Cave fish, cave shrimp, millipedes and cave salmanders are a few examples. Some other species of mammals, insects, birds and amphibians may visit caves or live in them part time. These include raccoons, skunks, frogs, bats, crickets and earthworms.

Underground wonders

Over hundreds of years, tiny crystals build up one on top of another to make a speleothem (SPEE-lee-eh-them), or cave deposit. On average, it takes 100 years for one cubic inch of a cave deposit to form. The most common examples of speleothems are: • Stalactites (stuh-LAK-tyts): Formations that hang from the ceiling. They look like icicles and have sharp points. • Stalagmites (stuh-LAG-myts): Formations that rise from the floor. They usually are formed by water dripping from stalactites. They have rounded tops. • When a stalactite grows down and meets a stalagmite growing up, the formation is called a column. • A drapery is a thin sheet that hangs in folds like curtains. The one shown here is in Lehman Caves at Great Basin National Park.

Eco Note Speleothems often form annual growth rings similar to those found in trees, and these may be deposited over hundreds or even thousands of years. Because the amount of water making its way into the caves determines the amount speleothems grow, their layers can indicate times of both heavy precipitation and drought in the area. By studying these formations, scientists can reconstruct climate conditions from the past.

• 2 vegetable bouillon cubes with herbs or sea salt • 2 cups water

What to do: 1. Put all ingredients in a big pot. Bring to a fast boil, then stir really well to mix everything up. 2. Turn heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes with the pot lid tilted. Turn off the heat and let cool. 3. When soup is cool, scoop into a blender and blend until smooth, adding a little water if it’s too thick. Reheat in the big pot. Serves 4.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Aug. 25, 2019: This year others often find you intriguing. You can be coldly intellectual, extraordinarily witty or emotional, within hours. You certainly will not be boring to relate to. If single, many potential prospects weave around you. You want to be valued for your totality. If attached, your sweetie might be stunned at how fast you can switch from one persona to another. Remember to be actively interested in your partner. LEO often plays off your feelings, adding drama. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH What you share in the daytime, be it pearls of wisdom, general news or a feeling, will need to be repeated. Do not take offense. The other party is listening, but so much is running through this person’s mind. Tonight: Decide to go to the movies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You are likely to tell it as it is, or so you think! When you tell it like it is, you are telling it as you see it. Others simply have different perceptions. Try to understand where people come from. Tonight: Meet a friend for a late lunch and a movie.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You wake up, ready for coffee and your Sunday paper. Touch base with several people you do not often speak with. You will enjoy catching up on news. Make plans for dinner if you wish. Tonight: Wherever you are, splurging.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might feel off in the daytime. You are likely to roll over and sleep in late, or head back to bed for a nap. Use the daylight hours for you. Make any plans for evening, not sooner. Tonight: Finally feeling your Wheaties.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You are a sign ruled by the Sun. Today you could use some time out and about enjoying the summer rays. What you do and who you are with might not be as important as the fact that you are out. Tonight: Make it early. You will need to be well rested.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Catch up on an older relative’s news. In fact, meeting for a late brunch might be

Nahla. You say you asked for forgiveness (although, from where I sit, I don’t think you have slighted her in any way) and have forgiven her. She’s attempting to punish you by giving you the silent treatment. Please don’t blame yourself for it. Enjoy the distance she has created because if there are more problems with Nahla, I have a hunch your sister will be back, baggage intact. DEAR ABBY: Please tell me how I can get over the fact that my husband cheated on me. How do I stop feeling hurt and

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You could get into the tradition of Sunday calls. If you have not yet indulged in using that time for catching up with loved ones you do not see often, try it. You will feel great about the communication. Tonight: Out meeting friends for a late dinner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH A loved one demands a great deal of your time during the day. Make it your pleasure. This person could be rather intense and perceptive. Speaking to him or her nearly always provides insight. Tonight: Choose a happening where your mind can float and relax.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You know you are strong-willed. Make it OK to defer to a loved one who insists on being dominant right now. Do not create an issue when there is none. Enjoy this role reversal. Tonight: Special time with a loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might decide to complete some errands and handle a difficult situation at the same time. You find that the person in question who seems difficult will not be responsive immediately. Tonight: Chat over a leisurely dinner.

2 8 5

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might need to spend some quiet time at home for now. However, your home suddenly takes on a life of its own, with phones ringing and people coming to the door. Decide to go with the flow. Tonight: With a favorite person.

You may need to continue the counseling to work through your emotions, particularly the feeling that you were to blame for what happened. In the meantime, because programs you’re seeing on television bring back your feelings of pain and disappointment, rather than torture yourself, change the channel. The same goes for those books.

DEAR ABBY: I have been a minister for 40 years. Throughout most of these years, I have tried to be supportive to my sister. Her oldest child, “Nahla,” has been “difficult” since she was 15. My niece cuts herself, uses drugs and has been in prison and in rehab. I have listened patiently as my sister wept, discussed her fears and anger, prayed for her and sent cards to her and her daughter. When Nahla was incarcerated for 16 months, I wrote to her every other week and touched base with my sister almost daily. Recently, my sister called

Explain that, right now, you plan to focus on school and sports and suggest that it wouldn’t hurt him to do the same. If he reacts by threatening to harm himself, tell your parents or a trusted teacher so they can inform his parents and he can get the emotional support he needs, and possibly professional help.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might have an active day, but your mind keeps returning to a domestic matter. The solutions presented so far seem limiting. Tap into your creativity. Even if an idea seems impossible, try it out. Tonight: Relax to a favorite movie.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH What you say can make a difference. You can even chill in the status quo. However, you are also

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You possess a great deal of energy and positive vibrations. You might want to spend more time with a friend who you have not visited for a long period. What better way than setting a goal? Tonight: Make it your treat.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your emotional nature tends to impact not only you, but also those around you. You inadvertently create a roller-coaster ride for others. Someone might pull away as a result. This person is waiting for calmer waters. Tonight: Off exercising.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Center and complete a project despite the fact that you might want to pursue another pastime. You will need to be somewhat isolated to finish what you are doing. Your gregarious nature will emerge and you’ll be far more upbeat once you complete your obligation. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about ocean and beach trash. — Heloise “Dear Heloise: My three children and I went to the beach today and were disgusted by the amount of trash on the sand and in the water. What makes people think they can dispose of cans, plastic bottles, paper and assorted plastic toys on the beach or toss them into the ocean? Even an apple core takes two months to break down, so how long do you think it takes plastic to break down? “I went online and did some investigating, and I discovered that billions of pounds of trash enter our oceans annually. Over 100,000 marine animals die every year due to eating plastic or becoming entangled in a plastic net. “If you see trash on the beach, pick it up and dispose of it properly. Never throw anything into the ocean. Write to your representatives in Con-

HHH You might be more withdrawn and upset than you realize. Ask for more in your life with the full expectation of receiving it. A friend lets you know how sad he or she feels. Remain empathetic, but know that you cannot inject yourself into this person’s situation. Tonight: Listening to live music, if possible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might feel unusually tense but not know exactly why. You are carrying a lot of responsibilities and cannot seem to get a spare moment. A conversation with a family member is difficult. Tonight: Choose a favorite escape or pastime.

HHH You have a lot to do but cannot get past the present issue. As a result, you create pressure in your life. Look for ways around this present issue. Can you delegate some tasks? Can you postpone a meeting? Tonight: Pace yourself.

HHHH Your intensity emerges in an unusual circumstance and cannot seem to get a response. Someone might pull away from you rather than have a conversation. At this point, give this person the space he or she seems to require. Tonight: Hang out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You flow where others do not have the time or volition to get through a problem. Sometimes, you find that not worrying and doing your thing in this type of situation is best. Tonight: Accept a last-minute invitation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A partner zeroes in on what he or she wants. You might try a discussion, but that does not work. As a result, you might feel the need to take a stronger hand in certain areas. Know that resentment could build. Tonight: Let the other person initiate a chat.

FEEDING THE BABY Dear Heloise: I’ve found that feeding a baby in an upright position (or as much as possible) enables the bubbles at the bottom of the stomach to rise with greater ease when you burp the baby. Then massage the infant’s back rather than patting to bring on a burp. — Paige in Missouri

This year, you mix your strong precision and attention to detail with manifesting a long-term, emotional goal. You often juggle your feelings with moments of intellectualism.

If attached, your sweetie finds you warmer and more emotional than in the recent past. Home becomes an important concern, with the possibility of a new addition. You might opt to remodel or move. A CANCER supports you with these changes. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
