5.0 earthquake rumbles Juneau, but doesn’t do any harm No damage from the earthquake reported By Michael Lockett Juneau Empire
Juneau experienced a 5.0 magnitude earthquake at 8:32 p.m. Saturday night, but no damage was reported. The epicenter was located more than 60 miles northwest of Juneau at a depth of less than a mile. This earthquake was the largest of more than half a dozen earthquakes centered in the same region in the last month, according to data provided by the United States Geological Survey. The other earthquakes, all centered 45 miles west of Haines, were less than 3.0 magnitude. “I felt it! I was in my driveway and my vehicle was shaking,” Capital City Fire/Rescue Assistant Chief Travis Mead told the Empire. “I thought my kid was doing it.” Mead said CCFR did not receive any reports of damage or injury from the quake. “We didn’t get any calls,” he said Monday. “Just the way we like it.” The Juneau Police Department did not receive any such reports either, according to the dispatch center. Southeast Alaska is no stranger to powerful earthquakes. According to USGS data, there have been more than 20 earthquakes as strong or stronger than the quake Saturday in the last three decades. Alaska was also unwilling host to the second-most powerful earthquake in recorded history, a magnitude 9.2 “Good Friday” earthquake that shattered Anchorage in 1964. All these earthquakes come from interaction between the Pacific Plate and North American Plate, part of the ‘Ring of Fire’ around the Pacific Ocean that’s home to the vast majority of the world’s earthquakes and volcanoes.

Despite winds, containment lines hold Winds reached up to 45 mph along some isolated areas of the Sterling Highway By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
Strong winds hit some parts of the Swan Lake Fire Sunday, but the fire did not grow significantly and all containment lines held. According to the latest update from the Great Basin Incident Management Team,
the winds on Sunday were the strongest they have been since the flare-up two weeks ago that caused the fire to jump across the Sterling highway. Sustained winds of about 10 mph were reported on Sunday, and winds reaching up to 45 mph along some isolated areas of the Sterling Highway, incident meteorologist Tony Fuentes said. Numerous fire-weakened trees along the highway and southwest flank of the fire were knocked down by the strong winds but presented
no immediate concern. Activities inside the fire perimeter were limited on Sunday so that firefighters were not put into hazardous situations. Rough waters limited boat travel to some locations on the south flank. Operations Section Chief Rocky Gilbert said in a live update Monday morning that turbulence and rough waters also prevented aerial operations, including water drops from fixed-wing aircraft. Some pockets of fuel along the southwest flank See fire, Page A3

Going the distance Cucumber makes it past the Swan Lake Fire to break the Alaska State Fair record By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
This year’s grand prize cucumber at the Alaska State Fair shattered the state record for length, but it almost had to travel through fire to get there. Richard Link of Soldotna knew that he had a recordbreaker on his hand when he harvested his 14-pound, 37 3/8-inch (44 inches when measured by the curve) cucumber earlier this year. A problem arose, however, when the Swan Lake Fire — which has been burning on the Kenai Peninsula since June 5 — jumped across the Sterling Highway two weeks ago and led to multiple road closures and delays. The Sterling Highway is part of the only road route to Palmer from Soldotna, so Link and his cucumber were essentially stranded on the Kenai Peninsula. Even though Link had already looked up the previous record and knew that he had it beat, the road closures had him ready to throw in the towel. Luckily his wife, Ludy, was determined to get that cucumber to Palmer. Ludy contacted her sister in Anchorage and made a plan See fair, Page A3

Anchor River Bridge replacement on horizon By Delcenia Cosman Peninsula Clarion
With luck, by this time next year, visitors and residents in Anchor Point will be crossing a shiny new two-lane bridge to access the Old Sterling Highway and Anchor Point State Recreation Area. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, along with representatives from Solstice Alaska Consulting Inc., hosted a public open house Tuesday, Aug. 20, at the Anchor Point Senior Center to garner discussion and public opinion on the Anchor River Bridge replacement project. The project is in its very beginning stages, with the open house serving as the kickstart to ongoing public involvement throughout the process that may influence the final construction result. “We are just gaining
momentum with this project,” said Galen Jones, project manager and DOT&PF representative. “We are here to get comment and feedback before we even put plans together.” According to its preliminary concept, the new Anchor River Bridge will be uncovered, have two 11-footwide traffic lanes, and add 6-foot-wide shoulders that will allow pedestrians and non-motorized users to cross over the bridge more safely. Because the new bridge will be built according to modern design standards, it will also no longer impose height or weight restrictions, which will better allow access to large trucks, vehicles towing boat trailers and school buses. Recently, school buses have been forced to take a detour route to transport students living on the Old Sterling Highway, as they are
unable to cross the existing bridge due to the height and weight restrictions. The new bridge may also benefit Anchor Point and the greater Homer area by serving as a backup route in the event that the Sterling Highway experiences an emergency shut down. The preliminary bridge concept is based on standard designs and available funding and is subject to change, particularly as the project members apply for necessary permits. Environmental documentation began approximately in January of this year and is expected to continue through the fall. The design and engineering stage began around March and will continue through the winter, possibly into January 2020. “We’re probably at about 50-60% of our design right See Bridge, Page A3

Kenai River Brewing partners with Tsalteshi for new beer series By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
Kenai River Brewing is rolling out its latest assortment of specialty brews — this time partnering with Tsalteshi Trails Association to produce
recreation-themed beers that raise funds for the nonprofit. “Tsalteshi is near and dear to my heart,” Brewery owner Doug Hogue said. “It’s something we wanted to support.” The series includes four beers. The first of the series — the “Moose Gallop Ale” — made its debut at a See brew, Page A3

Since Bobbi Jackson began Jackson Gardens and Nursery 40 years ago, the 10-acre homestead has become a cornucopia of locally grown flowers and produce. Jackson said every year she has sought out new things to grow and share with the community. Today she’s growing everything she can, including cherries, pears, plums, peaches, kiwi, apricots, nectarines, apples and other fruit not commonly grown this far north. “It gets bigger and bigger every year,” she said. “My husband said he was not going to plant more strawberries but then a little boy came and he cried because we were out of strawberries. So he put 7,000 more strawberries in.” Peppers, corn, garlic, green beans, kohlrabi, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, carrots, edible flowers and many other vegetables, herbs and berries can be found in the gardens. Her business first began with flowers. What started as a small bed of perennials in 1979, has grown into a large production of lilies, roses, shrubs, peonies and fruit trees. Jackson has always grown food for her family, but four years ago she decided to share the wealth and open up her property to the community through a U-pick. Jackson keeps interested pickers updated on what’s available mostly through

Facebook, where she posts detailed lists of what’s around the gardens. In addition to offering the community a place to pick their own locally grown produce, Jackson also hires locals to help maintain the gardens. Customers get more than just produce when they visit Jackson Gardens. Jackson also shares kitchen tips and tricks to keep food good all year round — from making garlic last all year to fermenting root vegetables to last all winter. “I can’t stand for anything to go bad,” she said. While raising five children on a budget, Jackson has learned ways to make her fresh food last longer. “We’re teaching the kids the wrong thing in school,” she said. “We’re teaching them they have to have everything raw, organic and fresh. Nobody can afford that. I eat fresh all summer. I eat frozen and fermented in the winter — I cook differently.” Jackson Gardens will

Fulfillment of this schedule is contingent on the environmental review process, as well as acquisition of the necessary permits and certifications. The Anchor River Bridge replacement project will be federally funded, costing approximately $10-12 million, with the state matching 9% of the total cost. “There’s a (federal) funding appropriation we received from the state legislature that needs to be spent in this next fiscal year.

environmental permits, and the project has to be certified by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) — we will receive that federal funding,” Jones said. In addition to the new br idg e constr uction, DOT&PF plans to elevate sections of the Old Sterling within the project limits in order to reduce the likelihood of seasonal floods overtopping the highway and cutting off safe access. One of the main concerns voiced by open house attendees was the degree to which they would be able to access the Old Sterling Highway and state recreation area, particularly because construction is currently scheduled for the summer of 2020. “The most frequent question we heard today was all about access,” said Robin Reich, public involvement agent from Solstice Alaska Consulting, Inc. “There’s going to be a temporary bridge built during construction. It seems like folks have
been pretty happy to hear that.” The existing bridge would be closed during construction, according to the open house presentation, but DOT would install a temporary two-way bridge to which traffic flow would be diverted. Fishing would be restricted on the river immediately under the construction area, and trail access to the Anchor River fishing and recreation area may be temporarily restricted. However, the Silver King campground and parking lot will remain open during construction, though noise impacts are expected during construction hours. “The temporary bridge is going to be built to be able to handle … fishing boats,” said Solstice Alaska Consulting representative Carrie Connaker. “Trail access is not going to be completely cut off, even though there’s construction right there. We know the state recreation area is important and we have heard a lot of sensitivities around that.
It’s going to be controlled access.” Another concern was voiced regarding the potential impact of construction on salmon in the Anchor River within the project limits. “We have to get a permit from (the Alaska Department of) Fish and Game if we’re working in the water at all. We’re going to try and stay out of the water as much as possible,” said Connaker. “It should be fairly minimal impacts to salmon. Also there are … windows where you can’t do construction, when (salmon) are spawning or when the juveniles are in the water. We’re definitely going to follow those windows.” The iconic single-lane Anchor River Bridge was built in 1942 and “has been retrofitted several times to extend its lifespan,” according to the open house presentation on Aug. 20. Most recently, in September 2018, workers replaced rotting wood timbers that supported the bridge abutment with
concrete walls. However, DOT&PF officials at the time stated that the bridge would ultimately need to be replaced. At 77 years old, the Anchor River Bridge has more than surpassed its expected lifespan. One of the most-asked questions DOT &PF got from Anchor Point locals was why they couldn’t just repair the bridge again, rather than replacing the entire structure. Aside from the current bridge being well beyond its prime, Jones explained that further repairs on the existing bridge would have to be revisited multiple times within the lifespan of a new bridge. “We’ve done a life cycle cost analysis on rehabilitating the existing bridge, to keep that historic bridge in place,” Jones said. “The lifespan of a new bridge would be 75 years. If we were to rehabilitate this one, it would last 25 years. So we’d have to rehabilitate it three times for the life cycle of a new bridge. It would be the same cost to
build a new bridge as it would to rehabilitate it once. So we would have to spend three times as much.” Reinforcing the existing bridge would also not solve the issues presented by its single lane or the imposed height and weight restrictions. If the current bridge is not replaced in the near future, “it’ll reach a certain point where we can no longer maintain it and we’ll have to shut it down,” said DOT&PF Environmental Analyst Heidi Zimmer. “What we really don’t want is to have a failure.” Public input is highly encouraged by DOT&PF throughout the course of the bridge replacement project.

daughter-in-law drove down from Eagle River to pick it up in Anchorage. To complete the family relay race, the Links’ daughter-in-law got it to the fair in Palmer by the time it was set to be judged on the afternoon of Wednesday, Aug. 21. This is his first year submitting a cucumber to judging at the State Fair, but Link has been growing cucumbers for the past five years or so. Each year he likes to try out
a few different varieties to see how well they grow, and this year he just happened to pick a winner: the Armenian cucumber. The Armenian variety is a lighter shade of green, has deeper ridges and tends to be longer and thinner than other varieties. Link said that he prefers growing the longer varieties and noted that the taste of his Armenian cucumbers was sweeter than most. “It’s almost like a cross
between a cucumber and a melon,” Link said. Cucumbers are meant to grow in subtropical climates and are very susceptible to frost, so Link has to cultivate his in a high tunnel. This year’s winner spent about two and a half months growing in Link’s high tunnel, and Link said that he noticed early on it was going to be way bigger than he expected. “At one point I had to make a sling for it so that it
could hang horizontally and wouldn’t fall off the vine,” Link said. When asked if he planned on entering the contest again next year, Link’s answer was a definite yes. “I’m hooked now,” Link said. Link said that this summer offered extraordinary yields with more than just his cucumbers. For example, Link has several beehives and said that this year he was able
to collect 15 gallons of honey from each one. Normally he collects about 5 gallons. Link also entered a zucchini into the Kenai Peninsula Fair in Ninilchik this year which won best in show. Link’s advice to wouldbe cucumber farmers is to persevere through any obstacles that may arise, whether it’s having to build a sling to support them or buying a plane ticket to fly them over a fire.
thirst-quenching, with a little hops to dry things,” he said. Hogue said the exact date of the unveiling of the last three beers are yet to be determined. The next in the series lineup is cyclocross brew, which is likely to hit shelves in October, he said. The skiing batch is looking at a January release, and the mountain biking batch will debut in the spring. While Hogue and his crew decided on the recipe, the trails association tasked Soldotna artist Kaitlyn Vadla with designing the labels for each of the four beers. Vadla didn’t mince words when expressing her gratitude for Hogue and his contributions. “Doug’s a saint,” she said.
“He does so much for the community … I say there’s BD and AD — before Doug and after Doug.” Vadla said each beer represents the “seasons of Tsalteshi” — running for spring, mountain biking for summer, cyclocross for autumn and skiing for winter. Vadla is owner of “Vibrant Alaska” art, a company she began that “connects people to place.” She said it was a meeting in January that sparked the idea of getting on board to help design the beer can art. Trails association members Larissa Arbelovsky and Laurie Lingafelt said the ideas behind each of the beer names came from their own
personal experiences and knowledge using the trail system. “We thought, ‘Well, what trails do we like to run on? What trails are the most fun to ski on? What trail’s the most fun to cycle on?’,” Arbelovsky said. “That’s how we narrowed down the themes.” Vadla said the acrylic painting had its challenges, mostly in determining the space on the label, and added that the Moose Gallop moniker was born out of a run on the easy Moose trail that makes up part of the Tsalteshi Trails. “We decided we really wanted to see people and animals sharing the trails,” she said. “That’s what that
trail system is all about.” In looking for ideas, Vadla said she took time researching and talking to community members who use the trails often, asking them what best represents Tsalteshi. Vadla said Ts’alteshi — which in the Dena’ina language translates to “Black Stone Axe Ridge” — refers to the land that the trail system sits on. “Tsalteshi has for thousands of years been a transportation corridor for indigenous people in Alaska,” Vadla explained. “You go up there, you’re literally up on a ridge, and that, along with the Kenai River, were transportation corridors. “I think it’s my duty to know
the real history of this place and to do what I can to learn about indigenous culture and help out my friends who are (part of) the Kenaitze Tribe.” Lingafelt said the unique collaboration between Kenai River Brewing and the trails association is what powered the initiative to craft a line of beers that would support the trail system. “I think the neatest thing is the collaboration,” Lingafelt said. “Kenai River Brewing is so supportive of the trails and it’s all local, bringing everything to the local trails.” “Doug is so great to work with and he’s just such a community member,” Arbelovsky added. “It was a natural collaboration.”
bolstered suppression efforts. The peninsula experienced some precipitation on Friday and Sunday nights, with some areas of the fire receiving about 1/4-inch of rain on Friday. Fuentes said that Sunday’s rain was mostly on
the western side of the peninsula and stopped just short of the fire’s western perimeter, so that precipitation had little impact on fire activity. Fuentes said that another lowpressure system is expected to arrive this weekend that will bring similar amounts of precipitation, and this pattern of intermittent rainfall from low-pressure systems is likely to continue through the month. In Cooper Landing, suppression operations continue and have settled into a relatively consistent pattern. Crews along the Resurrection Pass Trail north of Cooper Landing continue to construct containment lines with the help of aerial support when weather permits. Meanwhile, the structure protection group is working to complete protection measures in the Cooper
Landing Community by helping residents clear debris and fuels from around their property, clear and chip trees along the roadways and set up hose and sprinkler systems around individual properties. On the south side of the Kenai River, firefighters proceeded with mop up efforts from the fire’s edge and are extending the containment line another 100 feet into the burned area. Minimal fire behavior was reported Monday morning. Now that winds have died down, firefighters are making their way into areas along the fire’s edge to mop up hot spots and remove downed trees that could compromise the existing fire line. The latest update put the fire at 162,179 acres. The structure protection group in Cooper Landing is focusing on preparing
structures on the south end of the community. Meanwhile, firefighters are installing hose lays and sprinklers along the Fuller Lake Trail. Cooper Landing remains in a “SET” evacuation status. This status is not a notice to evacuate, but it does mean that residents should already be prepared to evacuate in the situation calls for it. Those who feel they will need extra time to evacuate should do so. Affected Sterling neighborhoods remain in a “READY” evacuation status. This status is an indication that residents should begin preparing for a potential evacuation if the situation calls for it. Delays should be expected along the Sterling Highway between Sterling and the Seward Highway junction. Pilot cars are escorting lines of cars in both directions, and the latest highway
information can be found at 511.alaska.gov The Temporary Flight Restriction in the area has been expanded as of August 31. This flight restriction includes the use of unmanned aircraft, or drones, and is in place to prevent the possibility of mid-air collisions as firefighters conduct aerial operations. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-60s through much of the week with humidity at about 50% but dropping as the week continues. There will be two community meetings on Tuesday, one in Cooper Landing at the Cooper Landing School and one in Sterling at the Sterling Community Center. Both meetings will take place at 6 p.m., and the Cooper Landing meeting will be broadcast live on the KPB Alerts Facebook Page.

Electoral College is due for reform
T
he controversial way America elects presidents is barreling toward a crisis point. A federal court ruling has spotlighted the confounding nature of the system, which twice in the last five elections put presidents into office against the wishes of the majority of American voters. Under the Constitution, the voters who select a president every four years are, in fact, picking a party-chosen slate of electors pledged to that candidate. The presidential candidate who wins a state’s popular vote gets all its electors — except in Nebraska and Maine, which split the electors by Congressional districts. These electors formally select the president after Election Day passes. This mechanism solved two problems of 1789’s America that no longer plague the nation. Mass, instant communication — of news, commentary and campaign rhetoric — means voters have no need to designate others to make informed choices, which was the argument Alexander Hamilton made in support of the Electoral College. The system also induced Southern slave states to join the union by giving them power at a time when the more populous north would have dominated a national popular election. Today, the Electoral College turns every presidential election into a contest for the same handful of closely divided battleground states. Voters in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the upper Midwest hold the power and get candidates’ focus. Deviating from this priority list, as Hillary Clinton did in 2016, means courting electoral doom. A decade ago, Washington joined states working to modernize the system with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It takes effect only if enough states join to control the 270 Electoral College votes required to elect a president. Each state’s Electoral College votes would then be awarded to the winner of the national popular vote. But only 15 states and the District of Columbia have joined the agreement, giving it just 73% of the electors needed. While legislatures in other states debate signing on, an alarming confluence of events has thrown Washington law into conflict with a federal court ruling. In the 2016 election, a handful of electors schemed to game the College to block Donald Trump from office. They traded votes to push the selection for president into the thenRepublican controlled House of Representatives. It failed, but repercussions are playing out anyway. Washington fines its “faithless electors” and under a new state law, will cancel and replace their votes, joining nine states that already had such laws on the books. But the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this month found removing an elector’s vote illegal, reading the Constitution to say Electoral College voters can vote as they please. If the ruling withstands U.S. Supreme Court review, states would lose the Electoral College’s accountability mechanism and all electors would have carte blanche to ignore the people’s will. From time to time, members of Congress attempt to abolish the Electoral College, but few get far. (Hillary Clinton promised to join this fight when she joined the U.S. Senate after the disputed 2000 presidential election, but never filed legislation.) Congress should step up to modernize the system. A place to start is to build on the Electoral College, which is enshrined in the Constitution and would be difficult to toss entirely. Instead, it should reflect the national popular vote. Until then, Washington must champion the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to other states so every vote in America can count the same. Washington has several nationally influential leaders in government; Gov. Jay Inslee has chaired the Democratic Governors Association, and Secretary of State Kim Wyman has chaired the Republican Secretaries of State Committee. Both should urge their peers to fight for the popular vote compact. — The Seattle Times, Aug. 27

Alaska Pioneer Homes continue to provide a home and community to Alaska’s elders
A
laska Pioneer Homes have a long history of offering Alaska’s elders caring, engaging places to age in place as their living and health care needs increase. Today, the average resident in a Pioneer Home is 87 years old and lives in one of the six homes for about two years. More elders are coming to Pioneer Homes with higher levels of need requiring greater assistance. This is in part due to elders who require less intensive care staying in their own homes longer thanks to a rise in community-based supports. With elders entering our homes with more serious needs and the growing numbers of seniors in Alaska’s population, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) is faced with the challenge of maintaining the high level of care for each and every Pioneer Home resident as costs continue to rise. That brings us to our current situation and the recent increases to the Alaska Pioneer Homes rates. Understandably, these changes have resulted in a lot of talk and some anxiety about the future of Alaska
Pioneer Homes and how older Alaskans will be served. Unfortunately, some of those concerns are based on inaccurate information or misunderstandings that need addressing so Alaskans can be assured they will continue to have options in our state as they age. The increased rates reflect the actual amount it costs to provide services at each of the five designated levels of care. The previous rates did not cover the full cost of services, which meant the State of Alaska was subsidizing care for every resident, even those who were able to pay more towards their cost of service. DHSS paid more than $34.5 million to subsidize the Alaska Pioneer Home system in fiscal year 2019. The additional funds brought in through these increased rates will support only the actual care for that resident, and will not be used to provide for services outside of the Pioneer Homes or to subsidize the costs of other residents. For those who are concerned that the increased rates will make the Pioneer Homes unaffordable to many older Alaskans, a person’s
income or assets are not an eligibility requirement for entrance into a Pioneer Home. Regardless of income, Alaskans 65 years and older who have lived in the state for at least one year are eligible to live at a Pioneer Home. There is a waitlist for the homes, but applicants are chosen on a first-come, first-served basis on their original application date. The same is true for all current residents of the Pioneer Homes — under Alaska state law, no one can be evicted if their income and assets are insufficient to pay the monthly rate. Help is available in many forms to Pioneer Home residents who need assistance in paying for their care. Many low-income elders with significant physical limitations and medical needs receive financial assistance through a Medicaid waiver and veterans at our Alaska Veteran and Pioneer Home in Palmer receive a per diem from Veterans Affairs. Additionally, residents who can’t afford to pay the full amount of their rate can get help through the Alaska Pioneer Homes’ own Payment Assistance Program. Also mandated
by state law, this program essentially creates a sliding fee scale. Residents pay the amount they can afford and payment assistance covers the remaining amount. There are built-in protections for residents who have spouses that live in the community so their spouse continues to have sufficient income to provide for their living expenses. This program will continue to help bridge the gap for our seniors in need. Providing excellent care, to every resident, every day, every time, is one the core values of the Alaska Pioneer Home system. Being financially stable is an important part of being able to live up to that core value as it allows us to sustain operations of the Pioneer Homes into the future. Everyone at the Alaska Pioneer Homes and the Department of Health and Social Services — myself included — is proud to continue the tradition of caring for those who helped build our great state. Adam Crum, M.S.P.H., is commissioner of the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services.

Biden, Buttigieg say no compromises on overhauling gun laws By Thomas Beaumont and Bill Barrow Associated Press
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, moderates who project themselves as pragmatic collaborators, are taking a no-compromise approach on the overhaul of the nation’s gun laws after the latest mass shooting. Campaigning separately in eastern Iowa on Monday, the former vice president and the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, say the minimum provisions include universal background checks, a ban on militarystyle weapons and highcapacity ammunition, and red flag laws to allow officials to confiscate firearms from dangerous people. Biden told reporters before a Labor Day picnic in Cedar Rapids that inaction from President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans is “disgraceful.” Asked if there’s room for negotiation, he declared: “None. This is one we have to just push and push and push and push and push.” Buttigieg also rejected compromise, saying after a campaign event in Cedar Rapids: “There is just no good faith in the congressional GOP nor, I believe, in the White House when it comes to dealing with this issue.” Their comments come two days after a gunman toting an assault-style rifle went on a rampage
in Odessa, Texas, killing seven people around town before being gunned down by police. The FBI said the shooter “was on a long spiral of going down.” This shooting occurred less than a month after two other high-profile mass shootings, in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. Biden’s and Buttigieg’s positions represent a rare case of absolutism from the two men. Despite their generational divide, at ages 76 and 37, both have staked their campaigns in part on calls for a more civil, productive governing process in Washington. They both pointed to public opinion polls are a reason for their uncompromising approach. According to national public opinion polls for the past several years, large majorities of Americans support requiring background checks for all gun buyers. Majorities, though smaller, also support banning the sale of militarystyle weapons such as the AR-15. “Look, you can either defy the American people or you can defy the NRA,” Buttigieg said. “You have a choice.” Yet any movement to tighten gun laws has stopped cold for years with Republicans controlling one or both chambers of Congress. Buttigieg and Biden both predicted that intransigence will draw voters’ ire at the ballot box. “If Republicans don’t
make that right choice this time, I think they will be punished with the loss of power. And maybe that’s what it will take to motivate them to come a little more in line with the American people,” Buttigieg said. Added Biden: “It’s going to result in seeing some of them defeated.” Trump expressed a commitment Sunday, hours after the latest deadly mass shooting, to work with a divided Congress to “stop the menace of mass attacks.” He notably came out in favor of background checks in 2018 after 17 students and adults were killed at a Parkland, Florida, high school, only to quickly retreat under pressure from the National Rifle Association. He’s followed the same course after recent killings in California, Ohio and Texas. Another Democratic presidential candidate, Amy Klobuchar, on Monday noted Trump’s reversal. “He flipped” after talking to the NRA, Klobuchar said. “That’s what happens.” The Minnesota senator stopped short of taking the same stance as Biden and Buttigieg, however. Klobuchar has co-sponsored a Senate proposal to ban military-style weapons. But she acknowledged that’s more of a wish-list item for Democrats given GOP control of the Senate. For now, she said, the “minimum of what we should do” includes expanded background
checks, the red flag laws and closing the so-called boyfriend loophole that deals with gun rights for perpetrators of domestic violence. Federal law that bars those convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence against spouses and “similarly situated” companions from possessing firearms. The prohibition has been applied in cases of live-in companions, but Klobuchar argues it doesn’t go far enough to protect some victims who weren’t living with their abuser. Democrats’ broad field of presidential candidates has been unified in calling for stricter gun laws. But Biden’s strong position Monday stands out given his advocacy for more compromise on Capitol Hill. Previously, he has said he is capable of working with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and recalled that, as a young senator in the 1970s, he found ways to work with Southern segregationist senators elected during the Jim Crow era. This time, he said, there’s no place for a bargain because Republicans are being “irrational.” “I’ll work with Mitch McConnell where we can agree, but on this one he’s not going to agree because he is where the president is,” Biden said. “So we just have to beat them, flat out beat them.”

Saudi-led airstrikes on Yemen rebel-run prison kill over 100 By Ahemd Al-Haj and Samy Magdy Associated Press
SANAA, Yemen — Yemeni medics said on Monday they pulled dozens of bodies from the rubble of a Houthi rebel-run detention center that was hit a day earlier by Saudi-led coalition airstrikes, killing over 100 people and wounding dozens. The attack was one of the deadliest in more than four years of war in Yemen that have claimed tens of thousands of lives, thrust millions to the brink of famine and spawned the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. The Saudi-led coalition, which has fought the Iranbacked Houthis since 2015, has faced international criticism for airstrikes that have hit schools, hospitals and wedding parties, killing thousands of civilians. By late Monday, Yemen’s Red Crescent said 88 bodies had been pulled from the ruins of the detention center in southwestern Dhamar province. Bashir al-Dawrani,
a spokesman for Yemeni Red Crescent in Dhamar, told The Associated Press that 53 bodies were recovered Sunday and another 35 on Monday before search efforts halted for the night. There were around 170 detainees at the facility when the airstrikes hit Sunday. The International Committee for the Red Cross said 40 wounded were being treated for injuries while the rest were presumed dead, and that it would likely take days to recover all the bodies. The complex of buildings was part of the local community college before the Houthis turned it into a detention center, one of dozens in areas under their control. Security officials said the detainees were captured forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognized government as well as civilians who had been arrested for criticizing the Houthis in recent years. The officials spoke anonymously because they weren’t authorized to talk to reporters. Abdul-Qader el-Murtaza, a Houthi leader, said Sunday
that both the Red Cross and the Saudi-led coalition knew there were detainees being held at the site. The Red Cross, which inspects detention centers as part of its global mission, said Sunday it had previously visited detainees there. Col. Turki al-Maliki, a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition, said in a televised press conference Monday it had bombed a “legitimate military target,” and blamed the Houthis for using the former college as a detention center for forcibly disappeared Yemenis. He said the Red Cross never told the coalition that there were detainees at the site, which he said was not on a U.N.-coordinated no-strike list. The U.N. provides the coalition with coordinates for locations such as hospitals, schools and official prisons to ensure they are not hit by airstrikes. “The only known prion (in the area) is located 6 miles north of the targeted site,” he said. Former detainee Mansour al-Zelai told The Associated
Press that the Houthis were repairing weapons in and close to the detention center. Several other detainees said the same via posts to social media, and said the center had come under a series of airstrikes before. Rights groups have also previously documented that the Houthis use civilian detainees as human shields by placing them in detention centers next to army barracks, under constant threat of airstrikes. Local residents said the center also held their imprisoned family members, arrested for being critical of the Houthis. The Abductees’ Mothers Union, an association of female relatives of detainees jailed by the Houthis, said “dozens of abductees and people who were disappeared by force” elsewhere in Yemen had been brought to the center from other areas under rebel control. The mothers’ group said some detainees had died from torture in the center and called for an international investigation into
Sunday’s airstrikes and abuses against the detainees. The Yemen U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights confirmed Sunday that 52 detainees were among the dead. Bashir al-Dawrani, a spokesman for Yemen’s Red Crescent in Dhamar, said the wounded had been taken to various hospitals in Dhamar and the capital, Sanaa. Dhamar is located around 62 miles south of Sanaa. Yemeni officials said dozens of families, mainly from Houthi-controlled areas, had arrived in Dhamar to identify bodies or visit wounded relatives. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media. The Houthis also said Monday they had met with Sweden’s foreign minister, Margot Wallstrom, in the capital of neighboring Oman to discuss a long-awaited implementation of a peace deal between the warring sides, which was brokered last year in Stockholm. Elsewhere in Yemen,
security officials said clashes flared up for several hours Monday in the oilrich Shabwa province. The fighting took place between forces loyal to the Saudi-backed government and southern separatists backed by the United Arab Emirates. Heavy fighting in recent weeks between the two sides — a subplot within a broader narrative in which they are ostensibly allies in the Saudi-led coalition — has added another layer to the complex civil war in the Arab world’s most impoverished country. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media, said government forces had blocked the southern separatists from taking control of the town of Azzan, a former stronghold for al-Qaida’s Yemeni branch. A joint Saudi-Emirati committee met with the combatants and reached a ceasefire later in the day, the officials said.
Dorian triggers massive flooding in Bahamas; at least 5 dead By Michael Weissenstein and Danica Coto Associated Press
NASSAU, Bahamas — Hurricane Dorian unleashed massive flooding across the Bahamas on Monday, pummeling the islands with so much wind and water that authorities urged people to find floatation devices and grab hammers to break out of their attics if necessary. At least five deaths were blamed on the storm. “We are in the midst of a historic tragedy,” Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said in announcing the fatalities. He called the devastation “unprecedented and extensive.” The fearsome Category 4 storm slowed almost to a standstill as it shredded roofs, hurled cars and forced even rescue crews to take shelter until the onslaught passed. Officials said they received a “tremendous” number of calls from people in flooded homes. A radio station received more than 2,000 distress messages, including reports of a 5-month-old baby stranded on a roof and a grandmother with six grandchildren who cut a hole in a roof to escape rising floodwaters. Other reports involved a group of eight children and five adults stranded on a highway and two storm shelters that flooded. The deaths in the Bahamas came after a previous stormrelated fatality in Puerto Rico. At least 21 people were hurt in the Bahamas and evacuated by helicopters, the prime minster said. Police Chief Samuel Butler urged people to remain calm and share their GPS coordinates, but he said rescue crews had to wait until weather conditions improved. “We simply cannot get to you,” he told Bahamas radio station ZNS. Forecasters warned that
Dorian could generate a storm surge as high as 23 feet. Meanwhile in the United States, the National Hurricane Center extended watches and warnings across the Florida and Georgia coasts. Forecasters expected Dorian to stay off shore, but meteorologist Daniel Brown cautioned that “only a small deviation” could draw the storm’s dangerous core toward land. By 5 p.m. EDT Monday, the storm’s top sustained winds fell slightly to 145 mph. It was crawling along Grand Bahama Island at 1 mph and then remained stationary. The water reached roofs and the tops of palm trees. One woman filmed water lapping at the stairs of her home’s second floor. In Freeport, Dave Mackey recorded video showing water and floating debris surging around his house as the wind shrieked outside. “Our house is 15 feet up, and right now where that water is is about 8 feet. So we’re pretty concerned right now because we’re not at high tide,” said Mackey, who shared the video with The Associated Press. “Our garage door has already come off. … Once we come out of it with our lives, we’re happy.” On Sunday, Dorian churned over Abaco Island with battering winds and surf and heavy flooding. Parliament member Darren Henfield described the damage as “catastrophic” and said officials did not have information on what happened on nearby cays. “We are in search-andrecovery mode. … Continue to pray for us.” A spokesman for Bahamas Power and Light told ZNS that there was a blackout in New Providence, the archipelago’s most populous island. He said the company’s office in Abaco island was flattened. “The reports out of Abaco
as everyone knows,” spokesman Quincy Parker said, pausing for a deep sigh, “were not good.” Most people went to shelters as the storm neared. Tourist hotels shut down, and residents boarded up their homes. Many people were expected to be left homeless. On Sunday, Dorian’s maximum sustained winds reached 185 mph, with gusts up to 220 mph, tying the record for the most powerful Atlantic hurricane ever to make landfall. That equaled the Labor Day hurricane of 1935, before storms were named. The only recorded storm that was more powerful was Hurricane Allen in 1980, with 190 mph winds, though it did not make landfall at that strength. The Bahamas archipelago is no stranger to hurricanes. Homes are required to have metal reinforcements for roof beams to withstand winds into the upper limits of a Category 4 hurricane, and compliance is generally tight for those who can afford it. Risks are higher in poorer neighborhoods that have wooden homes in lowlying areas. Dorian was likely to begin pulling away from the Bahamas early Tuesday and curving to the northeast parallel to the southeastern coast of the U.S. The system is expected to spin 40 to 50 miles off Florida, with hurricane-force wind speeds extending about 35 miles to the west. An advisory from the hurricane center warned that Florida’s east-central coast could see a brief tornado sometime Monday afternoon or evening. A mandatory evacuation of entire South Carolina coast took effect Monday covering about 830,000 people. Transportation officials reversed all lanes of Interstate 26 from Charleston to head inland earlier than planned after noticing traffic jams

Strong winds from Hurricane Dorian blow the tops of trees and brush while whisking up water from the surface of a canal that leads to the sea, located behind the brush at top, seen from the balcony of a hotel in Freeport, Grand Bahama, Bahamas, Monday. Hurricane Dorian hovered over the Bahamas on Monday, pummeling the islands with a fearsome Category 4 assault that forced even rescue crews to take shelter until the onslaught passes.
from evacuees and vacationers heading home on Labor Day, Gov. Henry McMaster said. “We can’t make everybody happy, but we believe we can keep everyone alive,” the governor said. A few hours later, Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp, ordered mandatory evacuations for that state’s Atlantic coast, also starting at midday Monday.
Authorities in Florida ordered mandatory evacuations in some vulnerable coastal areas. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper warned his state that it could see heavy rain, winds and floods later in the week. A hurricane watch was in effect for Florida’s East Coast from Deerfield Beach north to South Santee River in South Carolina. A storm surge watch was extended
northward to South Santee River in South Carolina. Lake Okeechobee was under a tropical storm watch. A National Guard official, John Anderson, said many people were complying with the evacuation orders. “We have not seen much resistance at all,” he said in a phone call with reporters. People do understand that Dorian is nothing to mess around with.”

Today in History Today is Tuesday, Sept. 3, the 246th day of 2019. There are 119 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 3, 1943, Allied forces invaded Italy during World War II, the same day Italian officials signed a secret armistice with the Allies. On this date: In 1783, representatives of the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. In 1939, Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany, two days after the Nazi invasion of Poland; in a radio address, Britain’s King George VI said, “With God’s help, we shall prevail.” The same day, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the British liner SS Athenia some 250 miles off the Irish coast, killing more than 100 out of the 1,400 or so people on board. In 1962, poet E.E. Cummings died in North Conway, N.H., at age 67. In 1967, Nguyen Van Thieu (nwen van too) was elected president of South Vietnam under a new constitution. In 1970, legendary football coach Vince Lombardi, 57, died in Washington, D.C. In 1976, America’s Viking 2 lander touched down on Mars to take the first close-up, color photographs of the red planet’s surface. In 1978, Pope John Paul I was installed as the 264th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1994, China and Russia proclaimed an end to any lingering hostilities, pledging they would no longer target nuclear missiles or use force against each other. In 1995, the online auction site eBay was founded in San Jose, California, by Pierre Omidyar under the name “AuctionWeb.” In 1999, a French judge closed a two-year inquiry into the car crash that killed Princess Diana, dismissing all charges against nine photographers and a press motorcyclist, and concluding the accident was caused by an inebriated driver. In 2003, Paul Hill, a former minister who said he murdered an abortion doctor and his bodyguard to save the lives of unborn babies, was executed in Florida by injection, becoming the first person put to death in the United States for anti-abortion violence. In 2005, President George W. Bush ordered more than 7,000 active duty forces to the Gulf Coast as his administration intensified efforts to rescue Katrina survivors and send aid to the hurricane-ravaged region in the face of criticism it did not act quickly enough. U.S. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist died in Arlington, Virginia, at age 80, after more than three decades on the Supreme Court. Ten years ago: Vice President Joe Biden told a Brookings Institution gathering that the Obama administration was fiercely determined to get a health care overhaul, although he conceded it likely wouldn’t happen without “an awful lot of screaming and hollering.” A private funeral service was held in Glendale, California, for pop superstar Michael Jackson, whose body was entombed in a mausoleum more than two months after his death. Five years ago: President Barack Obama, during a visit to Estonia, harshly condemned Russian aggression in Ukraine as a threat to peace. President Obama also said the United States would not be intimidated by Islamic State militants after the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff. A judge sentenced Theodore Wafer, a suburban Detroit man who’d killed an unarmed woman on his porch instead of calling police, to at least 17 years in prison. One year ago: A court in Myanmar sentenced two Reuters journalists to seven years in prison on charges of illegal possession of official documents, a ruling that was met with international condemnation. (The two were freed as part of a mass presidential pardon in May 2019.) President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, suggesting that the Justice Department had hurt the chances of Republicans in midterm elections with the recent indictments of two GOP congressmen.

Jones nabs rain-delayed Darlington 500 By Pete Iacobelli AP Sports Writer
DARLINGTON, S.C. — Erik Jones used every bit of stamina he had at Darlington Raceway. Few know better than Jones the effort it took to hold off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch and win the raindelayed Southern 500. “I’m mentally drained,” he said with a smile. “I’m physically drained.” Jones took the lead from Kyle Larson 85 laps from the end and stayed in front of Busch the rest of the way to add a win at iconic Darlington Raceway with his first NASCAR Cup Series victory at Daytona in July 2018. “It’s pretty crazy, right,” he said.
“I’m not a hugely emotional guy, but to get a win here means a lot to me.” Some had wondered if the 23-year-old Jones was the soft spot in the JGR powerhouse as Busch, Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. had all won four times apiece this season while Jones’ No. 20 was winless. “Is there anything more to say?” Jones asked as the crowd cheered. Not anymore. Jones’ victory means all four of Joe Gibbs’ drivers has taken the checkered flag and are locked into the NASCAR playoffs that start in two weeks. “It takes a lot to beat them,” Jones of his teammates. “Especially when you’re racing the same equipment.” To have the win come at
Darlington made it even more special for Jones. “This is one of those races for me that has always held a special place. You think of NASCAR, you think of Darlington,” he said. Larson was second, his third top three finish at Darlington in the past four years. He led 497 laps during that stretch, including 44 in this one. Busch, who started in the back after swapping out an engine after qualifying, got up to Jones’ bumper near the end. But he brushed the wall on the next-to-last lap and ended third. “We kind of lost control that pit stop where we came in the leader and came out third,” Busch said. “I thought if we could keep in touch with (Jones and Larson), keep close
to them, we might be able to out-pit road them at the end of the race. We got by one of them, but not the other one. But overall, good day.” Busch clinched the regularseason points lead. Kevin Harvick was fourth and Brad Keselowski was fifth. Clint Bowyer was sixth followed by the winner of the opening stage, Kurt Busch, Matt DiBenedetto, Paul Menard and Austin Dillon. PLAYOFF STREAK: Jimmie Johnson made some headway on his quest for a 16th straight playoff appearance, but was hindered when he was caught up in a final stage crash that bumped him back to 16th at the Southern 500. Johnson trimmed his playoff deficit from 26 points to 18. Still, he’ll likely need
a win in Indianapolis next week to qualify for the postseason. “We’re running out of days and if we miss it, it’s going to be by a few (points) I believe,” Johnson said. “I can look back over the first half of the season and see a lot of races where we gave away a few points.” HAMLIN’S LOST WEEKEND: Denny Hamlin came in the hottest driver in NASCAR and left the Darlington weekend wondering what went wrong. He was caught up in that finalstage accident and wound up 29th, his second-worst placing of the season. On Saturday, Hamlin crossed the line first in the Xfinity race, but was disqualified when his car failed post-race inspection.
Osaka, Djokovic out of US Open By Howard Fendrich AP Tennis Writer
NEW YORK — Naomi Osaka’s achy left knee didn’t let her serve without pain, so she didn’t practice that key part of her game leading into the U.S. Open. The knee also prevented her from covering the court and preparing for shots the way she’d like. Those weren’t the only reasons that the No. 1-seeded Osaka’s 10-match winning streak at the U.S. Open and title defense ended Monday in the fourth round. Belinda Bencic’s clean, crisp strokes, struck with the ball still on the rise, contributed plenty to the outcome, too. Osaka joined 2018 men’s champion Novak Djokovic on the sideline before the quarterfinals, exiting with a 7-5, 6-4 loss to the 13th-seeded Bencic under a closed roof at Arthur Ashe Stadium on a rainy afternoon. Djokovic stopped playing in his fourth-rounder Sunday night because of a problematic left shoulder. “I honestly didn’t move well today. You know what I mean? I felt like I was always flat-footed. ... The knee was a little bit annoying in the movement aspect,” Osaka said. “But I think that that’s something I should have overcome.” As for her powerful serve, Osaka called it “inconsistent,” saying she hadn’t been working on it coming into the year’s last Grand Slam tournament “because I can’t really land on my leg that great.” Osaka has been wearing
a black sleeve on the knee and was given a pain-killing pill by a trainer midway through the second set Monday. By then, Bencic was up a set and a break, employing a quick-strike style of taking balls early and snapping them back, rushing Osaka and not leaving her not enough time to respond. It worked before: Bencic is now 3-0 against Osaka in 2019. “I don’t have the biggest power. Don’t have the most winners or most aces. But I think I can really read the opponent’s game well,” said Bencic, who will face No. 23 Donna Vekic of Croatia in the quarterfinals. “I definitely try to do that against anyone, not only against her.” Bencic finished with far more winners, 29, than unforced errors, 12, and showed once again that she is a big-match player. She owns a tour-leading nine victories over top-10 opponents in 2019 and is 4-1 for her career against top-ranked players. Bencic is 22, just a year older than Osaka, but her progress was slowed in recent years by injuries, including wrist surgery. Back in 2014, when she was 17, Bencic became the youngest woman into the U.S. Open quarterfinals since 1997, when another Swiss woman, Martina Hingis, took the title. Hingis’ mother, Melanie Molitor, used to coach Bencic, and five-time major champion Hingis herself has served as a mentor. Bencic said she likes to emulate the way Hingis used to play, always thinking a move or two — or more — ahead.

Verlander throws 3rd no-hitter By Ian Harrison The Associated Press
TORONTO — Justin Verlander took the mound for the ninth inning, fully aware of the no-hitters he finished — and his near misses, too. Zeroed in, he wouldn’t be denied this time. Verlander pitched his third career no-hitter, punctuating a dominant season by striking out 14 to lead the Houston Astros past the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0 on Sunday. Verlander became just the sixth pitcher to throw at least three no-hitters in the majors, an elite club that
includes the likes of Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax and Cy Young. “It means a lot,” Verlander said. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know that. I’ve come so close. Since I’ve had two, I think I’ve blown two in the ninth and another couple in the eighth.” “I was definitely aware of the history aspect of it. Definitely a big hurdle to get over and a very special moment for me,” he said. Verlander (17-5) is the first pitcher to throw two no-hitters as a visitor in the same park — he also threw one at Rogers Centre in 2011
with Detroit. His other no-no was in 2007 for the Tigers against Milwaukee. “I guess I have to like this mound a lot now,” Verlander joked. Verlander allowed only one runner, with Cavan Biggio drawing a one-out walk in the first inning. The Blue Jays, with a lineup full of young, aggressive batters, never came close to a hit in the Astros’ second no-hitter of the season — four Houston pitchers combined to blank Seattle a month ago. The 36-year-old Verlander joined Ryan (seven), Koufax (four) and Young, Bob Feller
and 1880s-era Larry Corcoran (three each) in rarefied air on the no-hitter list. “Some of the guys I’ve idolized,” Verlander said. And it came after a series of close calls. Verlander lost a no-hit try in the eighth inning late in 2011, had bids broken in the ninth in 2012 and 2015 and had another attempt spoiled last May in the seventh by Jose Abreu of the White Sox. Verlander’s wife, model Kate Upton, is currently attending the Venice Film Festival, where she tweeted out a message of congratulations.
Rangers become 1st team to shut out Yankees in 221 tries By The Associated Press NEW YORK — Mike Minor and two relievers became the first pitchers in 221 tries to shut out the Yankees, helping the Texas Rangers beat New York 7-0 Monday. The Yankees had the second-longest streak without being blanked since at least 1900 behind a 308-game stretch by the Babe Ruthled Yankees from 1931-33. New York was previously shut out June 30, 2018, by Chris Sale and the Red Sox.
Washington. The loss ended Washington’s four-game winning streak and denied the Nationals from moving 20 games over .500 for the first time this season.

MILWAUKEE — George Springer’s home run in the 10th inning, which followed a game-tying homer by Christian Yelich in the ninth, lifted Houston over Milwaukee. The long balls overshadowed a 14-strikeout performance by Astros starter Gerrit Cole.
DETROIT — Max Kepler’s two-out, two-run single in the eighth inning lifted AL Centralleading Minnesota. Trailing 3-2, Minnesota started the eighth with two singles off Buck Farmer (5-6). He retired the next two batters, but Ehire Adrianza’s infield single loaded the bases for Kepler. Matt Hall relieved and Kepler lined his single to center field.

Notre Dame pulls away from Louisville LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Briefly caught off guard by Louisville’s intensity, Notre Dame turned up its energy as well to take control with big plays. Ian Book ran for one touchdown and threw for another, Jahmir Smith rushed for two scores and the No. 9 Fighting Irish beat Louisville 35-17 on Monday night. Tony Jones Jr. rushed 15 times for 110 yards, including an 11-yard TD, as the Fighting Irish worked harder than expected to put away the rebuilding Cardinals in Scott Satterfield’s debut as coach. Figuring it out in time pleased Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly. “There’s a litany of things we can get better at,” he
scoreboard Racing NASCAR-Monster Energy Bojangles’ Southern 500 Results
said. “We still won the game, and we have some good things to take away.” Starting good was important to the Irish in their first game since a 30-3 Cotton Bowl loss to Clemson last December in the College Football Playoff semifinal. Besides wanting to put that defeat behind them and mounting another national championship run, Kelly was interested to see how his team replaced key players in many phases, especially on defense. Their answer to Louisville’s challenge might have been the most impressive part. Notre Dame trailed 14-7 in the first before Jones’ score tied it, and Book followed with an 11-yard score just before halftime.

“Can I practice my French (or any language you’re trying to practice)?” or should one save it for international travel, private language lessons or another time? What do you think is proper in this situation? — LOST IN TRANSLATION
DEAR ABBY: When ordering food at different ethnic restaurants here in the U.S., should people always speak in English, even if they are learning the language of the country the food is from? For instance, if you go to a Mexican restaurant and hear waiters speaking Spanish, and you are learning Spanish but are by no means fluent, is it polite to try and order in Spanish, or is it considered rude? My worry is that they will assume I think they don’t know English and that I’m being condescending, especially if they respond with something I don’t understand in the same language that I was just trying to speak. Should a person always ask,
DEAR LOST: I printed something on this subject three years ago (Sept. 5, 2016). It is worth going back into my archive and reviewing. To avoid any misunderstandings or hurt feelings, assume the server speaks English. If you wish to practice your second language, tell the person you are trying to sharpen your language skills, ask if the person would mind your doing that and ask to be corrected if you make a mistake. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

CHILD IN THE CAR
MAGNIFICENT MAGNETS
Dear Readers: How can people forget their child in the back seat of a car? Seems impossible, but it can happen. The child falls asleep on a long ride into work, minds wander, and the child gets left in the car. It is still hot out. What are some hints to help you not forget your child in the car? * Put the child’s toy, blanket or bottle in the front seat. * Leave your bag, phone or briefcase in the back seat. * Practice this mantra: “Look before you lock.” * Position the car seat in the middle of the back seat, instead of on one side. You can see the child better. Readers, if you are not following your usual routine, pay extra attention to your actions and surroundings, and be sure to educate everyone who cares for your kids about the danger of hot car deaths. — Heloise
Dear Heloise: I have trouble fastening my necklaces, so my granddaughter put magnetic clasps on my necklaces. Now I get them on with no trouble. I think all jewelers should put magnetic clasps on their necklaces — it’s so helpful. — Eleanor T., Omaha, Neb. Great! Readers, magnetic jewelry is handy, but there may be reasons why magnets are not widely used on jewelry. People with pacemakers should not use magnetic jewelry. It can interfere with the performance of the unit. Also, if you are pregnant, talk to your doctor about magnetic jewelry. Kids can be fascinated by magnets, but a magnet can come out of its housing, and ingesting a magnet is dangerous. Magnets around credit cards? The jury is out; keep them separate to be safe. — Heloise
Friday’s answers, 8/30

Grand Canyon to make second run at corralling bison herd By Felicia Fonseca Associated Press
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — In the two years since the Grand Canyon approved a plan to reduce the number of bison roaming in the national park, the herd has only grown in size. No one is sure exactly how many of the massive animals call far northern Arizona home because they’re hard to count amid the Ponderosa pine trees, but it’s in the hundreds. Left unchecked,
the herd could reach 1,500 in several years, severely damaging the landscape and water resources, the park says. The reduction plan has been hampered by weather and disagreements over how to kill some of the bison if shipping them off isn’t enough. The Grand Canyon tried to round up some animals last year, but wintry weather set in and the bison headed farther north on a plateau. The park is taking a second
run at capturing this month. “We’re getting a little late start,” said Jan Balsom, a senior adviser at the park. The Grand Canyon bison are descendants of those introduced to northern Arizona in the early 1900s as part of a ranching operation to crossbreed them with cattle. The state of Arizona now owns them and has an annual draw for tags on the neighboring Kaibab National Forest. The National Park Service released a plan in September
2017 that called for a mix of corralling the animals near the highway that leads to the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, and for skilled volunteers to shoot a certain number of bison inside and outside the park. It has made no significant progress on guidelines for lethal options. The Park Service fenced off watering holes on the North Rim to try to force bison into the national forest, where they legally can be hunted. But it didn’t keep the bison out.
The 25 hunters who drew tags in a state hunt earlier this year came up nearly empty-handed, bagging just two animals. The Arizona Game and Fish Commission recently amended the spring hunts for 2020 and 2021 to give hunters more time overall to kill bison. Meanwhile, the animals’ population is growing. The park hopes to corral dozens of the animals at the North Rim, where the bison breed exclusively after hunting pressure forced
them out of the forest about a decade ago. It uses thumbsize pellets to lure the bison into 8-foot-high corrals that can hold up to 100 animals. Balsom said the park plans to sort animals that are captured in September and give them to Native American tribes across the U.S. that request them through the Intertribal Buffalo Council. The agreement with the Park Service says none of the animals can be slaughtered within the first year, she said.
