Ferry system to stop winter service to Kodiak Island KODIAK — An Alaska ferry system has released a new schedule that stops service to and from Kodiak Island in the winter, officials said. The Alaska Marine Highway System announced the schedule Thursday, but it does not list ferry operations between Jan. 11 to April 24, The Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Thursday. Each year, transportation stops for a period of time for vessel examination and mechanical maintenance. But this year the ferries are in overhaul simultaneously because of a $43 million reduction in the marine highway budget, officials said. An amendment to put $5 million back into the marine highway budget was passed by the Legislature, but it was vetoed by Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy. “It’s crippling to rural Alaska,” said Republican Rep. Louise Stutes, who introduced the amendment. “I don’t know if (the governor) even considers rural Alaska part of Alaska with some of the effects his cuts have made in relation to rural Alaska.” During the routine maintenance period, fish industries used Alaska Airlines combination planes that carry freight and passengers until they were discontinued in 2016, officials said. Since, the ferry system replaced the use of these flights to deliver fresh catch to other parts of the state. Extending the closure period could hinder business, owners said. The ferry was an affordable way to grocery shop and visit the hospital on the state’s mainland, residents said. Now officials are encouraging them to use planes and boats they consider to be unreliable and dangerous in winter conditions. In addition to the schedule gap, the transportation department announced they are expected to begin a new pricing system that would increase ferry ticket fares during high-demanded times, officials said. That means reservation fees are expected to increase as departure days approach and as special events and holidays near. “This is an attempt to increase revenue and become a more self-sustaining system,” said Meadow Bailey, Department of Transportation communications director. — Associated Press

Construction crews make up for lost time By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
Recent closures on the Sterling Highway due to fire activity have left road crews scrambling to finish a major construction project before winter. This summer, the Alaska Department of Transportation and Granite Construction have been working to improve road conditions on the Sterling Highway from Mile 58 to Mile 79, between Sterling and Cooper Landing. The Swan Lake Fire — which has been burning in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge between Sterling and Cooper Landing since June 5 — crossed the highway on Aug. 18 and prompted public safety officials to halt construction and close the road to traffic. Throughout the week of Aug. 18, the road was closed intermittently as

fire crews worked to mitigate fire danger and heavy smoke conditions severely limited visibility at times. Eventually, traffic resumed on the highway with pilot cars guiding motorists, and by the morning of Sept. 3
construction crews were back to work. DOT Project Engineer Shaun Combs said on Thursday that fire activity did delay progress on the project, but the estimated completion date — June 15 of next
year — remains the same. The work wasn’t completely halted, and crews were able to make some progress on installing new signage and wildlife fencing from Mile 72 to Mile 79 when fire activity permitted.
Now that construction crews are back on the road, Combs said the main goal is to finish paving the top and bottom layers of asphalt before winter. Progress will be entirely dependent on weather conditions for the month of September, and Combs said that the current drought conditions could give crews the extra few weeks needed to make up for lost time. “We essentially lost two weeks of prime paving weather,” Combs said. “So now we’re focused on putting the final icing on the cake, with the goal of having the traveling public on that top asphalt surface by winter.” After the fire moved through the area, trees along the roadway had their root systems burnt out and were left susceptible to falling over See crews, Page A3

A harbor seal swims into the waters of Kachemak Bay after being released back into the wild by the Alaska SeaLife Center on Thursday at Bishop’s Beach in Homer. The center released two harbor seals Thursday after rehabilitating them through the Wildlife Response Program. The seals were found neglected on Homer area beaches along Kachemak Bay this May.
Harbor seals released in Kachemak Bay By Megan Pacer Homer News
Two young harbor seals are back where they belong after being rehabilitated through the Alaska SeaLife Center’s Wildlife Response Program and released into Kachemak Bay. Dozens of people gathered at Bishop’s Beach on Thursday to watch as the two seals
— Ugashik “Uggy” and Charley Fritz — were released into the waters of Kachemak Bay in Homer by SeaLife Center staff and volunteers. Uggy was found neglected by her mother on May 29 on a beach near McNeil Canyon and Fritz was found neglected by his mother on a beach near Homer on May 12, according to an information sheet provided by the SeaLife
Center. At that time, both were estimated to be only a week to two weeks old, said Jane Belovarac, curator for the Wildlife Response Program. Fritz and Uggy were able to be released because they had graduated that program. In order to be released back into the wild, animals must pass all final health checks, not be on any medications,
and be able to show that they can hunt, Belovarac said. “Seals are under NOAA and the National Mariner Fisheries Service,” she said. “And so they have certain protocols and milestones that we need to hit in order for the animal to be released.” One of those milestones is that the seals must be a See seals, Page A3
Drought conditions Troopers release stay, despite rain enforcement data By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Despite some rainfall, the Kenai Peninsula is still experiencing a drought. Drought conditions remain the same as last week, with an extreme drought in the northwestern portion of the Kenai Peninsula and a severe drought in the rest of the peninsula, according to the updated Sept. 5 U.S. Drought Monitor map. “The precipitation was not enough to warrant any improvements, but was enough to stave off further deterioration,” the U.S. Drought Monitor’s summary said.
The U.S. Drought Monitor — produced in partnership with the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — measures droughts using five levels, level zero being abnormally dry conditions with no drought, and the fourth level being an exceptional drought. In its summary, the U.S. Drought Monitor said August was the driest and warmest ever recorded in Anchorage. Kenai had an abnormally See drought, Page A3

The Alaska Department of Public Safety has released statistics from their latest high-visibility enforcement campaign, which started on Aug. 14 and ended on Labor Day. The annual anti-DUI campaign resulted in 62 DUI arrests and 1,186 citations issued, according to a Sept. 5 press release from DPS. From Aug. 14 to Sept. 2, Alaska State Troopers and Wildlife Troopers reported the following contacts: 61 misdemeanor DUI arrests and 1 felony DUI arrest;
32 motorists charged with driving with a suspended or revoked license; 40 Report Every Dangerous Driver Immediately (REDDI) reports made with 15 drivers contacted and ultimately determined to not be DUI; 79 damage-only crashes, 18 injury crashes, and 2 fatal collisions were investigated by troopers. Of the 1186 citations issued, 606 were issued for speeding and 65 issued for seat belt or other occupant restraint violations. The anti-DUI campaign is part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over high-visibility enforcement effort.
The school district and two employee associations met all day Thursday, in hopes of coming closer to a contract, but no agreement was made. The two employee associations, Kenai Peninsula Education Association and Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association, did offer a new contract proposal to the district, which will be considered by the school board Monday. “We spoke a lot about specific budget line items, and the associations put an offer across the table that the district is considering,” President of the Kenai Peninsula Education Association David Brighton said. Pegge Erkeneff, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District’s communications liaison, said the district’s cost analysis of the association’s offer shows the salary and health insurance cost to the district would deplete the unassigned general fund balance (savings) of $3.9 million, and require additional funds beyond that. “A fair and reasonable cost to the employees also require a fair and reasonable cost (to) the district,” Erkeneff said. Erkeneff said the groups agreed to meet again Wednesday. The time and place for the meeting is still undetermined, she said. Brighton said the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Board of Education will have a chance to authorize the contract at its board meeting Monday in Homer. For over a year and a half, contract negotiations between the borough school district and the associations have snagged on the rising cost of health care. “As both sides recognize, the outstanding issue is the formula to apportion the See contract, Page A3

Each way serves a different purpose. If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: http: www.parchment. com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace — rather than the U.S. mail — to get to its destination, which is much faster! ALL transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way!

FINAL TRANSCRIPTS! A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades. If you order your transcript when we are in second semester, you will need to make sure you choose “next grading period” when you go on to Parchment… that way your transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.

Kent Wayne Hackleman August 29, 1958 - August 31, 2019
Kent Wayne Hackleman passed in peace at the young age of 61 on Saturday, August 31st, 2019 in Seattle, WA, with his family by his side. Kent was born on August 29th, 1958 to Charlene and Roy Hackleman in Humansville, MO. The love for travel came at a young age when he decided to leave his hometown of El Dorado Springs and see what was in store for him. Kent chose Alaska as his primary residence and followed his adventurous side to the North Slope, where he found employment in the oil field. He made a career as a surveyor working for F.R. Bell & Associates for 23 years. Kent enjoyed listening to music and perfecting his air guitar skills, fishing the Kenai River, playing golf with friends and family and cheering on his favorite NFL team the Kansas City Chiefs. He was a loving man who made a lasting impression on everyone he met. Peoples fondest memories of him are how his smile and sense of humor could light up any room. He is laid to rest and survived by his two daughters, Rachael Watkins of Phoenix, AZ, Cherie Ard and her husband Brian Ard of Monroe, WA, two grandchildren Trinity and Kelby Ard of Monroe, WA, mother of his daughters Sharon Hackleman of Kauai, HI, two brothers Ray Hackleman of El Dorado Springs, MO, Ed Hackleman, his wife Kathy Hackleman of Lebanon, PA, and many loving nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Charlene and Roy Hackleman, sister Ann Hackleman, aunts Helen Smith and Billy Kelly. Kent holds a special place in our heart and our memories of him will always be cherished. A celebration of life is to follow in El Dorado Springs, MO, and Soldotna, AK.

Protective rollover bars are installed on all the vehicles and heavy machinery to further ensure the crew members’ safety.

Each of them was fitted with a numbered tag on their hind flipper so that, if they are observed in the wild in the future, they will be identifiable. “Uggy and Charley’s rehabilitation care evolved around monitoring each seal’s progress, starting with supervised swims and tube feedings of nutritive formula,” according to the information sheet from the center. “Their initial stages required handson treatments and routine examinations, but over the course of their stay, human interaction was greatly

If and when the associations decide to call a strike, they are required to notify the superintendent 72 hours in advance. The superintendent will notify staff, parents, community partners, contractors and others of the strike’s start date.
dry summer, too. More rain fell the first three days of September than in the entire month of August. In the whole month of August, the city saw 0.22 inches of rain fall — which fell between Aug. 30 and 31. The only measurable rainfall in between the beginning of September until Friday, Sept. 6 was in the first three days, when 0.36 inches fell in the areas. In Kenai, the average daily temperature for August was 58 degrees, about 3 degrees
above normal temperature for the month, according to the National Weather Service. The highest temperature Kenai saw in August was 69.3 degrees, about 6 degrees warmer than the normal August high of 63.9 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Between June 1 and Aug. 12, Kenai has received 1.51 inches of rainfall — a nearly 40% decrease in the average rainfall for the area, which is 3.88 inches of rain. Abnormally dry conditions turned into a moderate drought in early August, and the U.S. Drought Monitor placed much of the peninsula in a moderate drought Aug. 8.

Installation of four largediameter culverts at Slikok Tributary, Crooked Creek, Clam Gulch and Coal Creek has been completed. The Sterling Highway is open to all traffic at the Crooked Creek detour. Motorists should be aware of possible delays when seeding trucks are on the roadway, and a high number of moose have been sighted along the project corridor. Crews are working day and night on this project, which is
scheduled to be completed in October of this year. Beaver Loop Road will be closed from Bridge Access Road to Barbara Drive starting Monday, Sept. 16 and ending Sunday, Sept. 29. Local access will be maintained in the area, but no through traffic will be allowed. DOT is working with QAP to resurface the entirety of Beaver Loop Road and construct additional turn lanes, as well as a pedestrian pathway. Through late September, crews will be building the pedestrian path, replacing pipes and rebuilding the section of Beaver Loop Road between Bridge Access Road and Barbara Drive. Construction on this project is expected
to last through the end of the season. On the Kenai Spur Highway, DOT is working with Wolverine Construction to expand the highway to five lanes from Mile 5 to Mile 8 between Sports Lake Road and Swire Road. Crews are working on and off the roadway in this area from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. An alternate traffic pattern is in place and drivers should use caution and reduce speed when traveling through the area. Drivers should also be aware of potential pilot car operations and follow posted detours for side road closures. The Kenai Spur Highway construction is expected to last through the season.
reduced. As they advanced through the program, they graduated to a larger pool where they were united and demonstrated their ability to forage and compete for fish.” A goal of the Wildlife Response program is to return healthy animals to the areas where they were found, or as close as possible. That’s part of why the SeaLife Center chose to release them at Bishop’s Beach, Belovarac said. Another reason is that the beach is an easy public access point. People were allowed to ask questions of volunteers and, when it came time to send Uggy and Fritz back to the ocean, formed two long lines on the rocky beach. It created a wide causeway for the seals to scoot down until they reached the water and swam out into the bay.
“We want to share the excitement of a release with everyone,” Belovarac said of why the event was made public. “This is a great way to inspire the community, because it’s because of the community that we get calls about stranded animals. So being able for folks to see the animals they might have called about … it’s just a great way for the community to celebrate the things that we do.” It was a few of the roughly 20 Homer based volunteers for the center that helped with rescuing the seals in the first place. When the SeaLife Center gets a call about an animal, it sends one of the Homer volunteers to assess out the situation and report back. Then the center makes the final call about what should be done.
“The Homer volunteers are instrumental to being our eyes and ears out here,” Belovarac said. Volunteers are also sent out to collect data for the center when dead marine animals are found on beaches. Belovarac cautioned that physically removing a marine animal from its habitat should not be the first step. People who spot animals that appear to be in distress should always check with the center first. “We just want to encourage people, if they see something, call first before they pick up,” she said. “Because some animals look rather distressed when they’re out of water, but that could be normal. Like sea otters — they scream a lot, and that’s absolutely normal.” The number to call if you see a stranded marine animal is 888-774-7325(SEAL).

Corruption is hastening unions’ decline
L
abor Day must have been grim this year at the headquarters of the United Auto Workers. Federal agents last week raided the homes of the union’s president, Gary Jones, and a former president. They haven’t been criminally charged, but it’s an escalation of a probe that has already won guilty pleas. For years the investigation has focused on the UAW’s Fiat Chrysler unit, which prosecutors say marinated in a “culture of corruption.” Thousands of dollars, purportedly allocated for worker training, were instead allegedly misspent on lavish parties, steakhouse tabs, gifts such as a $2,000 Italian shotgun, and much more. Last month former UAW vice president Norwood Jewell was sentenced to 15 months in prison. Last year a former Fiat Chrysler vice president who negotiated with the UAW, Alphons Iacobelli, received 5 ½ years. The point of this illegal scheme, according to the feds, was to keep union leaders “fat, dumb and happy.” Now the investigation seems to be expanding. Three weeks ago a retired staffer at the union’s General Motors training center, Michael Grimes, was accused of taking kickbacks on contracts. The court documents mention, but do not name, two other “senior officials in the UAW GM Department” who were allegedly in on the action. Mr. Grimes plans to take a plea deal, his lawyer told local media, which means he may be cooperating with prosecutors. After last week’s raids, the union put out a statement saying that it is cooperating with investigators and that Mr. Jones “is determined to uncover and address any and all wrongdoing, wherever it might lead.” The news comes at an awkward moment, as the UAW is negotiating new contracts with the big three American auto makers. The current terms expire Sept. 14. Employees at all three companies have already voted to authorize strikes, if needed. The expansion of the federal investigation to the UAW’s top brass also raises the possibility that prosecutors may try to put the union under federal oversight. Facing a racketeering lawsuit in 1989, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters signed a consent degree that involved monitoring of its internal affairs. That agreement wasn’t terminated until 2015. In the light of all this, perhaps it’s no surprise that nonunion auto workers are opting to stay that way. In June the UAW lost its second attempt to organize the Volkswagen AG plant in Chattanooga, Tenn. The vote, 833 to 776, wasn’t much different from the 2014 result, 712 to 626. Two years ago Nissan workers in Canton, Miss., voted 2,244 to 1,307 to reject the UAW. Columbia University’s teaching assistants recently joined the UAW, as did card dealers at Caesars Palace. But these nontraditional auto workers aren’t enough to arrest the UAW’s slide. Membership dropped to 396,000 last year, according to federal data, down 8% from 2017. Corruption isn’t a great attraction. — The Wall Street Journal, Sept. 3

Don’t let Big Oil shut you up
I
t was a packed house at Land’s End Resort on Aug. 22. Homer, Anchor Point, Nanwalek and Ninilchik residents wanted details about Hilcorp’s plan for seismic testing in the southern Cook Inlet. The project’s been permitted and scheduled for September and October. In addition to its North Slope operations, Hilcorp is recognized as Cook Inlet’s largest oil and natural gas producer. The privately owned, Texasbased company bought and kept aging platforms producing, reworked onshore wells, purchased private property for development, picked up additional leases, and contributed to communities to promote good will. Hilcorp also had an employee die at Milne Point, three North Slope workers almost die, leaks that continued for months, and multiple violations resulting in fines. Hilcorp’s peninsula activities have decreased next-door property values and robbed neighbors of peace, quiet and, in some cases, health. We’ve all attended meetings where Q&A is the final agenda item and before you know it there’s only five minutes left and, sorry, no time for questions. That wasn’t going to work Friday night. People had comments to share and questions to be answered. We countered disputable research presented to favor Hilcorp’s plans. We questioned Hilcorp’s safety record, dissatisfied with the project manager’s response that he was new to Hilcorp and unfamiliar with Hilcorp’s past. When Hilcorp described plans to observe and, hypothetically, avoid sea life, we pointed out that the company’s plan for working round-the-clock meant nighttime observations were
useless. It was inexcusable, when asked about the link between the area’s razor clam population crash, previous seismic work and the proven detrimental impacts of sound on marine invertebrates, for Hilcorp’s fishery expert to say, “I’m not going there.” And attempts to shame the audience with the senseless reminder we operated petroleum-fueled vehicles made us groan. Unable to keep up with the questions and comments, the moderator, a Hilcorp contractor, attempted to silence us by calling the police. Four days later headlines announced BP’s sale of its Alaska properties to Hilcorp. The state’s congressional team welcomed Hilcorp to a larger role in Alaska’s energy industry. Former state representative Les Gara, a proponent of increasing taxes on the oil industry, reminded us that as a privately held “S” corporation, Hilcorp’s purchase of BP’s properties would mean an annual loss of $25-$65 million for the state. Bob Shavelson of Cook Inletkeeper noted Hilcorp’s unrepentance for its lack of regard for safety and the environment. Cook Inletkeeper posted on Facebook an investigative piece about Hilcorp written by John Dougherty for The Revelator that detailed Hilcorp’s four-month pipeline leak in the inlet, causing the release of 210,000-310,000 cubic feet of methane per day. Ceal Smith of Alaska Climate Action Network said, “BP’s $5.6 billion asset dump on Hilcorp, a taxexempt, subsidy-dependent, proven Bad Actor, signals a devastating and dramatic end to Alaska’s half-century fossil fuel affair. Alaskans will need to press legislators and state regulators
hard to minimize the damage and get cracking on the transition to a diverse and just clean energy transition or else suffer huge losses and a failed future.” BP’s Alaska interests include 49% ownership of the trans-Alaska Pipeline. Safe passage of oil across the state will now rest on the shoulders of a company the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission described as having a level of disregard for regulatory compliance that is “endemic to Hilcorp’s approach to its Alaska operations.” Author Kurt Vonnegut said, “Sometimes the pool pah exceeds the ability of humans to comment.” Now is not that time. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is requesting public comments until Sept. 16 on Hilcorp’s seismic work planned for Cook Inlet over the course of the five years (2019-2024), specifically comments about Hilcorp’s request to have less scrutiny by marine mammal observers at night. See: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/ action/incidental-take-authorizationhilcorp-alaska-llc-oil-and-gas-activities-cook-inlet-alaska. Submit comments, write letters, make phone calls and send emails to federal and state decision makers. Ask questions. Demand answers. Vote. Don’t be intimidated into silence. There’s too much at stake. McKibben Jackinsky is a freelance writer and author of “Too Close To Home?

letters to the editor
The educational irony of a teachers’ strike Once again, this is a perspective from a teacher who chose to teach, who wanted to be a teacher. Both of my parents were teachers and they described teaching as “an honorable profession.” Administration and being a representative in a union held no interest for me — being in the classroom with students did. Administrators in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District chose to be administrators. As administrators, it is their duty and responsibility, their function as district administrators, from time to time to prepare to negotiate and then actually negotiate contracts. Union representatives, (Kenai Peninsula Education Association and Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association) chose to be union representatives. As a union representative, one of their duties, responsibilities, their function as union representatives from time to time is to prepare to negotiate and then actually negotiate contracts. Alaska is in a difficult position financially. That doesn’t take away the responsibilities of the administrators and union representatives to do their duty and responsibility — their function — of preparing, negotiating, and reaching an agreement. Union re p re s e nt at i v e s,
administrators, teachers, and staff all have obligations to our “clients,” the students (and their parents), who put their trust in us. The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District has a logo: “kpbsd –where kids come first.” The unions are considering a strike as early as Sept. 16. If teachers do not show up for classes, this will be an educational lesson for students in a way only kids can know. Some may think irony is the opposite of wrinkly, but young people, particularly eighth graders, will have a lesson in irony when teachers in a district with such a logo do not come to school. The school year is in full swing and the momentum of the classroom is pretty much at its best right now, after the initial couple of weeks students are getting familiar with their schools, instructors, and the ways the various classrooms function. As a teacher, one of the basic educational expectations for my students is to show up. For teachers to not show up for classes is a true lesson in irony, unless the KPBSD logo was “kpbsd – where teachers & staff come first.” This teacher’s opinion is no matter what spin is put on a strike, with all the discussion of health care costs and how the strike is for teachers and staff and students and the community, eighth graders who are famous for having BS detectors set on high resolution will cut through all the spin and get: teachers are a
no-show, no classes, no extracurricular, and it’s about money. Union representatives and school administrators whose job it is to come to an agreement shouldn’t leave the negotiating table until there is a solution, which, in our state’s budget challenge, is going to require compromise. As always, at some point it will be settled, and should be before and without our current students in the KPBSD being used as leverage. Figure things out without disrupting the students’ school year. Let’s all do the right thing. Put the quarreling aside — and do what the district’s logo says. Robert Summer 8th grade KPBSD Teacher Soldotna
Force Pebble to pay upfront for environmental costs of mine Bristol Bay, Alaska, is an important salmon region but the proposed Pebble Mine directly threatens that region. The Army Corps of Engineers has dangerously fast-tracked Pebble, and the Environmental Protection Agency has recently removed important safeguards for Bristol Bay. On Feb. 20, the Army Corps released the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for Pebble — a toxic open-pit mine in Bristol
Bay’s headwaters. Every agency involved has cut every scientific and statistical corner possible within Pebble’s permitting process. The EPA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said the draft environmental impact statement for Pebble by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was “so inadequate” that they couldn’t figure it out. On July 30, the EPA withdrew its proposed standards that would have protected Bristol Bay under the Clean Water Act. Step by step, politics is overriding science instead of protecting Bristol Bay. This is how things work in Alaska. Public resources are eventually destroyed by big business because of the vast amount of cash involved. This cash eventually gets directed toward Alaska politicians and those politicians need that cash to remain in office. This is unfortunately how politics function in Alaska. Once-great Alaska public resources are systematically destroyed over time because politicians need “big business cash” to remain in office. Beyond Pebble Mine, Alaska needs a statewide term limit for all its representatives, just to reduce its number of career politicians. The flawed Pebble permitting process is being allowed to move forward at a dangerous pace. Then the House passed the Huffman amendment which would pause this permitting process and send Pebble back to the drawing board. This fall things move to the Senate
and it’s imperative that Congress step up and ensure a thorough, comprehensive review to match this outstanding natural resource. I do not believe it is possible to stop big business when billions of dollars in profits are possible. If you have enough money you will environmentally destroy anything in Alaska — that’s just the way it is and that is what will eventually happen with the Pebble Mine. Big business and big money will eventually buy off everyone involved and destroy the Bristol Bay Area along with the rest of Alaska. The only true solution to Pebble is to require a $50 billion bond payment up-front, which is actually capable of fixing Pebble’s future mess. That bond account should be a fixed permanent account much like Alaska’s permanent fund account and be dedicated for only one purpose, future Pebble environmental problems. If Pebble doesn’t feel it’s worth this permanent environmental security account then they should NOT try mining the Bristol Bay Area. Pebble wants to mine this area while only promising to clean up future environmental problems. They need a permanent $50 billion bond applied to them, which they cannot control and can only be used as insurance to protect Bristol Bay. Allowing open-pit mining in Bristol without that kind of a insurance policy would be environmental suicide. Donald Johnson Soldotna

Attorneys general: Opioid settlement talks with Purdue fail By GEOFF MULVIHILL and MARK GILLISPIE Associated Press
CLEVELAND — OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma is expected to file for bankruptcy after settlement talks over the nation’s deadly overdose crisis hit an impasse, attorneys general involved in the talks said Saturday. The breakdown puts the first federal trial over the opioid epidemic on track to begin next month, likely without Purdue, and sets the stage for a complex legal drama involving nearly every state and hundreds of local governments. Purdue, the family that owns the company and a group of state attorneys general had been trying for months to find a way to avoid trial and determine Purdue’s responsibility for a crisis that has cost 400,000 American lives over the past two decades. An email from the
attorneys general of Tennessee and North Carolina, obtained by The Associated Press, said that Purdue and the Sackler family had rejected two offers from the states over how payments under any settlement would be handled and that the family declined to offer counterproposals. “As a result, the negotiations are at an impasse, and we expect Purdue to file for bankruptcy protection imminently,” Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery and North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein wrote in their message, which was sent to update attorneys general throughout the country on the status of the talks. Purdue spokeswoman Josephine Martin said, “Purdue declines to comment on that in its entirety.” A failure in negotiations sets up one of the most tangled bankruptcy cases in the nation’s history. It would leave virtually every state
and some 2,000 local governments that have sued Purdue to battle it out in bankruptcy court for the company’s remaining assets. Purdue threatened to file for bankruptcy earlier this year and was holding off while negotiations continued. It’s not entirely clear what a breakdown in settlement talks with Purdue means for the Sackler family, which is being sued separately by at least 17 states. Those lawsuits are likely to continue but face a significant hurdle because it’s believed the family — major donors to museums and other cultural institutions around the world — has transferred most of its multibillion-dollar fortune overseas. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who was one of the four state attorneys general negotiating with Purdue and the Sacklers, said Saturday he intends to sue the Sackler family, as other states have.
“I think they are a group of sanctimonious billionaires who lied and cheated so they could make a handsome profit,” he said. “I truly believe that they have blood on their hands.” In March, Purdue and members of the Sackler family reached a $270 million settlement with Oklahoma to avoid a trial on the toll of opioids there. The Sacklers could not immediately be reached for comment Saturday. Under one earlier proposed settlement, Purdue would enter a structured bankruptcy that could be worth $10 billion to $12 billion over time. Included in the total would be $3 billion from the Sackler family, which would give up its control of Purdue and contribute up to $1.5 billion more by selling another company it owns, Cambridge, England-based Mundipharma. Shapiro said the attorneys general believed what
NOAA assailed for defending Trump’s Hurricane Dorian By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON — Former top officials of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are assailing the agency for undermining its weather forecasters as it defends President Donald Trump’s statement from days ago that Hurricane Dorian threatened Alabama. They say NOAA’s action risks the credibility of the nation’s weather and science agency and may even risk lives. Dismay came from those who served under Republican and Democratic presidents alike as leaders in meteorology and disaster response sized up a sustained effort by Trump and his aides to justify his warning that Alabama, among other states, was “most likely” to be hit hard by Dorian, contrary to forecasts showing Alabama was clear. That effort led NOAA to repudiate a tweet from the National Weather Service the previous weekend assuring Alabamans — accurately — that they had nothing to fear from the hurricane. The weather service is part of NOAA and the tweet came from its Birmingham, Alabama, office. “This rewriting history to satisfy an ego diminishes NOAA,” Elbert “Joe” Friday, former Republicanappointed director of the National Weather Service, said on Facebook. He told The Associated Press on Saturday: “We don’t want to get the point where science is determined by politics rather than science and facts. And I’m afraid this is an example where this is beginning to occur.” Alabama had never been included in hurricane advisories and Trump’s information, based on less
authoritative graphics than an official forecast, was outdated even at the time. In the tempestuous aftermath, some meteorologists spoke on social media of protesting when the acting NOAA chief, Neil Jacobs , is scheduled to speak at a National Weather Association meeting Tuesday — in Huntsville, Alabama. Former officials saw a political hand at work in NOAA’s statement disavowing the Birmingham tweet. The statement was issued by an anonymous “spokesperson,” a departure from the norm for federal agencies that employ people to speak for them by name. “This falls into such uncharted territory,” said W. Craig Fugate, who was Florida emergency management chief under Republican Gov. Jeb Bush and director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under Democratic President Barack Obama. “You have science organizations putting out statements against their own offices. For the life of me I don’t think I would have ever faced this under President Obama or Governor Bush.” Jane Lubchenco, NOAA administrator during the Obama administration said: “It is truly sad to see political appointees undermining the superb, life-saving work of NOAA’s talented and dedicated career servants. Scientific integrity at a science agency matters.” The White House declined to comment Saturday when asked if it had directed NOAA to release the statement. NOAA officials also didn’t respond to requests for comment. After spending the morning at his Virginia golf club, Trump took to Twitter to continue arguing that the news media were wrong in their reporting. “I would like

very much to stop referring to this ridiculous story, but the LameStream Media just won’t let it alone,” he tweeted. “They always have to have the last word, even though they know they are defrauding & deceiving the public.” Retired Adm. David Titley, former NOAA operations chief during the Obama administration and a former meteorology professor at Pennsylvania State University said NOAA’s leadership is showing “moral cowardice” and officials should have resigned instead of issuing the statement chastising the Birmingham office. Joe Friday said he would have quit had he been in top officials’ shoes. Titley said the episode might feed distrust of forecasts that help people make life-or-death decisions whether to evacuate. “For people who look for excuses not to take action when their lives or property are threatened … I think this can potentially feed that,” Titley said. Former NOAA deputy administration Monica Medina, who served in the Obama and Clinton administrations, said “it will make us less safe as a country.” And Justin Kenney, who headed the agency’s communications in the Obama administration, said “by politicizing weather forecasts, the president … puts more people — including first responders — in harm’s way.” Bill Read, who became director of the National Hurricane Center director during the Republican George W. Bush administration, said on Facebook the
NOAA statement showed either an embarrassing lack of understanding of forecasting or “a lack of courage on their part by not supporting the people in the field who are actually doing the work. Heartbreaking.” A retired chief of the center’s hurricane forecasting desk, James Franklin, said on Twitter that the NOAA statement had thrown the Birmingham office “under the bus” — a phrase several ex-officials used. He said the Birmingham office’s tweet was “spot-on and an appropriate response to the President’s misleading tweet that morning.” Last Sunday, Trump tweeted : “In addition to Florida - South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated. Looking like one of the largest hurricanes ever. Already category 5.” At the time, the hurricane center’s forecast path — including a large cone of uncertainty — did not go farther west than the eastern third of Georgia. The weather service in Birmingham quickly followed up with its tweet, which one meteorologist there said was prompted by residents’ concerns about what to do. It said: “Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east.” NOAA verified that day that the “current forecast path of Dorian does not include Alabama” and an agency spokesman, Christopher Vaccaro, put his name to that.

Director of MIT’s Media Lab steps down over Epstein ties CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The director of a prestigious research lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology resigned Saturday, and the school’s president ordered an independent investigation amid an uproar over the lab’s ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Joi Ito, director of MIT’s Media Lab, resigned from both the lab and from his position as a professor at the Cambridge school, university President L. Rafael Reif said. The resignation was first reported by The New York Times. Ito’s resignation comes after The New Yorker reported late Friday that Media Lab had a more extensive fundraising relationship with Epstein than it previously acknowledged and tried to conceal the extent of the relationship. Epstein killed himself in jail Aug. 10 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Federal prosecutors in New York had charged the 66-year-old with sex trafficking and conspiracy, alleging he sexually abused girls over
several years in the early 2000s. In a letter to the MIT community Saturday, Reif called the allegations in The New Yorker “deeply disturbing.” “Because the accusations in the story are extremely serious, they demand an immediate, thorough and independent investigation,” Reif wrote. “This morning, I asked MIT’s General Counsel to engage a prominent law firm to design and conduct this process.” Reif said last month that the university took about $800,000 from Epstein over 20 years. That announcement followed the resignation of two prominent researchers from Media Lab over revelations the lab and Ito took money from Epstein after he served time a decade ago for sex offenses involving underage girls The New Yorker reports Epstein arranged at least $7.5 million in donations, including $2 million from Microsoft founder Bill Gates and $5.5 million from investor Leon Black.
Rough seas suspend search for final victim of boat fire SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — The search for the final victim of a boat fire off the Southern California coast has been suspended until early next week because of gusty winds and rough seas. Authorities said they also suspended efforts to salvage the Conception off of Santa Cruz Island because the conditions were expected to last through the weekend. Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Lt. Erik Raney says
the Conception has been secured underwater, where it will remain until it is safe to resume the salvage operation. Thirty-four scuba divers died when the boat caught fire and sank before dawn on Monday. They were sleeping in a cramped bunkroom below the main deck and their escape routes were blocked by fire. Medical examiners say the victims appear to have died from smoke inhalation. — Associated Press
Today in History Today is Sunday, Sept. 8, the 251st day of 2019. There are 114 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 8, 1892, an early version of “The Pledge of Allegiance,” written by Francis Bellamy, appeared in “The Youth’s Companion.” It went: “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” On this date: In 1565, a Spanish expedition established the first permanent European settlement in North America at present-day St. Augustine, Fla. In 1664, the Dutch surrendered New Amsterdam to the British, who renamed it New York. In 1900, Galveston, Texas, was struck by a hurricane that killed an estimated 8,000 people. In 1935, Sen. Huey P. Long, a Louisiana Democrat, was shot and mortally wounded inside the Louisiana State Capitol; he died two days later. (The assailant was identified as Dr. Carl Weiss, who was gunned down by Long’s bodyguards.) In 1941, the 900-day Siege of Leningrad by German forces began during World War II. In 1943, during World War II, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower announced Italy’s surrender; Nazi Germany denounced Italy’s decision as a cowardly act. In 1964, public schools in Prince Edward County, Virginia, reopened after being closed for five years by officials attempting to prevent courtordered racial desegregation. In 1974, President Gerald R. Ford granted a “full, free, and absolute pardon” to former President Richard Nixon covering his entire term in office. In 1985, Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds tied Ty Cobb’s career record for hits, singling for hit number 4,191 during a game against the Cubs in Chicago. In 1986, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” began the first of 25 seasons in national syndication. In 1994, USAir Flight 427, a Boeing 737, crashed into a ravine as it was approaching Pittsburgh International Airport, killing all 132 people on board. In 2017, Hurricane Irma regained Category 5 status, battering Cuba with 160-mph winds and taking aim on the Miami area; the death toll across the Caribbean climbed past 20.

Iran threatens higher enrichment Dorian topples By NASSER KARIMI and JON GAMBRELL Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Saturday said it now uses arrays of advanced centrifuges prohibited by its 2015 nuclear deal and can enrich uranium “much more beyond” current levels to weapons-grade material, taking a third step away from the accord while warning Europe has little time to offer it new terms. While insisting Iran doesn’t seek a nuclear weapon, the comments by Behrouz Kamalvandi of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran threatened pushing uranium enrichment far beyond levels ever reached in the country. Prior to the atomic deal, Iran only reached up to 20%, which itself still is only a short technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. The move threatened to push tensions between Iran and the U.S. even higher more than a year after President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from the nuclear deal and imposed sanctions now crushing Iran’s economy. Mysterious attacks on oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran shooting down a U.S. military surveillance drone and other incidents across the wider Middle East followed Trump’s decision. “So far, Iran has showed patience before the U.S. pressures and Europeans’ indifference,” said Qassem Babaei, a 33-year-old electrician in Tehran. “Now they should wait and see how Iran achieves its goals.” Iran separately acknowledged Saturday it had seized another ship and detained 12 Filipino crewmembers, while
satellite images suggested an Iranian oil tanker once held by Gibraltar was now off the coast of Syria despite Tehran promising its oil wouldn’t go there. Speaking to journalists while flanked by advanced centrifuges, Kamalvandi said Iran has begun using an array of 20 IR-6 centrifuges and another 20 of IR-4 centrifuges. An IR-6 can produce enriched uranium 10 times as fast as an IR-1, Iranian officials say, while an IR-4 produces five times as fast. The nuclear deal limited Iran to using only 5,060 firstgeneration IR-1 centrifuges to enrich uranium by rapidly spinning uranium hexafluoride gas. By starting up these advanced centrifuges, Iran further cuts into the one year that experts estimate Tehran would need to have enough material for building a nuclear weapon if it chose to pursue one. “Under current circumstances, the Islamic Republic of Iran is capable of increasing its enriched uranium stockpile as well as its enrichment levels and that is not just limited to 20 percent,” Kamalvandi said. “We are capable inside the country to increase the enrichment much more beyond that.” Iran plans to have two cascades, one with 164 advanced IR-2M centrifuges and another with 164 IR-5 centrifuges, running in two months as well, Kamalvandi said. A cascade is a group of centrifuges working together to more quickly enrich uranium. Iran has already increased its enrichment up to 4.5%, above the 3.67% allowed under the deal, as well as gone beyond its 300-kilogram limit for low-enriched
uranium. While Kamalvandi stressed that “the Islamic Republic is not after the bomb,” he warned that Iran was running out of ways to stay in the accord. “If Europeans want to make any decision, they should do it soon,” he said. France had floated a proposed $15 billion line of credit to allow Iran to sell its oil abroad despite U.S. sanctions. Another trade mechanism proposed by Europe called INSTEX also has faced difficulty. Kamalvandi also said Iran would allow U.N. inspectors to continue to monitor sites in the country. A top official from the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency was expected to meet with Iranian officials in Tehran on Sunday. The IAEA said Saturday it was aware of Iran’s announcement and “agency inspectors are on the ground in Iran and they will report any relevant activities to IAEA headquarters in Vienna.” It did not elaborate. In Paris, U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Iran’s announcement wasn’t a surprise. “The Iranians are going to pursue what the Iranians have always intended to pursue,” Esper said at a news conference with his French counterpart, Florence Parly. For his part, Trump has said he remains open for direct talks with Iran. A surprise visit by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to the Group of Seven summit in France last month raised the possibility of direct talks between Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, perhaps at this month’s United Nations General Assembly in New

York, though officials in Tehran later seemed to dismiss the idea. Meanwhile Saturday, Iranian state TV said the tugboat and its 12 crewmembers were seized on suspicion of smuggling diesel fuel near the Strait of Hormuz. The report did not elaborate. In Manila, the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs said it was checking details of the reported seizure. Also Saturday, satellite images showed a oncedetained Iranian oil tanker pursued by the U.S. appears to be off the coast of Syria, where Tehran reportedly promised the vessel would not go when authorities in Gibraltar agreed to release it several weeks ago. Images obtained by The Associated Press from Maxar Technologies appeared to show the Adrian Darya-1, formerly known as the Grace1, some 2 nautical miles (3.7 kilometers) off Syria’s coast. Iranian and Syrian officials have not acknowledged the vessel’s presence there. Authorities in Tehran earlier said the 2.1 million barrels of crude oil onboard had been sold to an unnamed buyer. That oil is worth about $130 million on the global market, but it remains unclear who would buy the oil as they’d face the threat of U.S. sanctions. The new images matched a black-and-white image earlier tweeted by John Bolton, the U.S. national security adviser. “Anyone who said the Adrian Darya-1 wasn’t headed to #Syria is in denial,” Bolton tweeted. “We can talk, but #Iran’s not getting any sanctions relief until it stops lying and spreading terror!”
crane, knocks out power in Canada By ROB GILLIES and BEN FINLEY Associated Press
TORONTO — Dorian’s powerful winds arrived on Canada’s Atlantic coast Saturday, toppling a construction crane in Halifax and knocking out power for more than 300,000 people a day after the storm wreaked havoc on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Residents of Nova Scotia braced for heavy rainfall and potential flooding along the coast, as officials in Halifax urged people to secure heavy objects that might become projectiles. Businesses were encouraged to close early. “We do not want the citizens of Halifax roaming downtown as the water is coming in,” said Erica Fleck, assistant chief of community risk reduction in Halifax, the provincial capital and home to 400,000 people. A crane toppled and crashed into the side of a downtown apartment building under construction. In the city’s south end, a roof was ripped off an apartment complex, and firefighter Jeff Paris said several apartment buildings were being evacuated. With the collapsed crane and all the down trees and power lines, it’s fortunate there are no significant injuries or deaths, he said. “The power went out hours ago, but we were well prepared,” said Tim Rissesco, who lives on the east side of Halifax harbor in Dartmouth. “We’ve got snacks and food and we’re hunkered down in the house playing

Trump calls off secret meeting with Taliban, Afghan leaders WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Saturday he canceled a secret weekend meeting at Camp David with Taliban and Afghanistan leaders after a bombing this week in Kabul that killed 11 people, including an American soldier, and has called off peace negotiations with the insurgent group. Trump has been under pressure from the Afghan government, lawmakers and some members of his administration who mistrust the Taliban and think it’s too early to withdraw American forces. The administration’s diplomat talking to the Taliban leaders for months in recent days said he was on the “threshold” of an agreement with the Taliban aimed at ending America’s longest war. “Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday,” Trump tweeted Saturday evening. “They were coming to the United States tonight. Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers, and 11 other people. I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations,” he wrote.

board games and watching the rain and the wind.” As Canada prepared for Dorian, floodwaters receded Saturday from North Carolina’s Outer Banks, leaving behind a muddy trail of destruction. The storm’s worst damage in the U.S. appeared to be on Ocracoke Island, which even in good weather is accessible only by boat or air and is popular with tourists for its undeveloped beaches. Longtime residents who waited out the storm described strong but manageable winds followed by a wall of water that flooded the first floors of many homes and forced some to await rescue from their attics. “We’re used to cleaning up dead limbs and trash that’s floating around,” said Ocracoke Island resident and business owner Philip Howard. “But now it’s everything: picnic tables, doors, lumber that’s been floating around.” Howard said by phone Saturday that flooding at his properties on the North Carolina island is 13 inches higher than the levels wrought by a storm in 1944, which he said had long been considered the worst. He raised his home higher than the 1944 flood level and still got water inside. “It’s overwhelming,” said Howard, who owns the Village Craftsmen, a store that sells handcrafted pottery, glass and kitchen items. He said much of the merchandise on the lower shelves is ruined. Pieces of pottery were floating around inside.
Dorian toll rises in Bahamas ABCAO, Bahamas — The hurricane death toll is rising in the Bahamas, in what its leader calls “this hour of darkness.” Search and rescue teams were still trying to reach some Bahamian communities isolated by floodwaters and debris Saturday after Hurricane Dorian struck the northern part of the archipelago last Sunday. At least 43 people died. Several hundred people, many of them Haitian immigrants, waited at Abaco island’s Marsh Harbour in hopes of leaving the disaster zone on vessels arriving with aid. Bahamian security forces were organizing evacuations on a landing craft. Other boats, including yachts and other private craft, were also helping to evacuate people. Avery Parotti, a 19-year-old bartender, and partner Stephen Chidles, a 26-year-old gas station attendant had been waiting at the port since 1 a.m. During the hurricane, waves lifted a yacht that smashed against a cement wall, which in turn collapsed on their home and destroyed it. “There’s nothing left here. There are no jobs,” said Parotti, who hopes to start a new life in the United States, where she has relatives. Dorval Darlier, a Haitian diplomat who had come from the Bahamian capital of Nassau, shouted in Creole, telling the crowd that sick people along with women and children should be evacuated before men. — Associated Press

Stars cut down California powerhouse Houston topples Homer, Ketchikan blows past Seward in Peninsula Conference play Staff Report Peninsula Clarion
The Soldotna football team moved to 3-0 with a dominant, 42-7 nonconference win over Christian High School on Friday at Granite Hills High School just outside of San Diego. Christian (1-2 overall) is a school of about 400 that has a decorated football history. There are 70 players in the program, which has 10 California Interscholastic Federation championships to its credit.
Christian also plays in the Eastern League of the San Diego City Conference and has 10 league titles, including in five of the last six years. But the Patriots were no match for the Stars, who scored on six of eight possessions, not counting a brief, run-out-the-clock drive at the end of the game. With 10 minutes, 24 seconds, left in the fourth quarter, SoHi scored to go up 42-7 and invoke the mercy rule and a running clock. “It’s definitely a feather in our hat for our program to come down and
beat a program here that’s done very well historically,” Brantley Jr. said. “I’m proud of the accomplishment, but there’s a lot of season left. “If we show up and lay an egg and don’t win the state championship, nobody will care that we won a Week 4 game on the road.” The Stars also were dominant on defense. Christian had eight drives. Three of those were three-and-outs, while another ended abruptly on the first play on an interception by Will Simmons. Soldotna rolled up 344 yards on
the ground and another 81 through the air, while Christian had 80 on the ground and 119 through the air. In a startling display of offensive execution, Soldotna had just five plays go for negative or zero plays, including two incomplete passes. “Their defense was so unfamiliar with our style of football,” Brantley Jr. said. “They had athletes but they don’t see anything like us. They see a lot of spread. They could never figure us out.” On defense, Brantley Jr. said coaches Eric Pomerleau, Phil Leck
and Sarge Truesdell did a great job of preparing the players to face Christian’s attack. Practicing inside due to smoke from the wildfire didn’t stop SoHi from throttling South last weekend, and California heat didn’t stop the Stars this week. The temperature got up to 98 during the day at Granite Hills, but dropped to the mid-80s as the sun set shortly after kickoff and gave the Stars a taste of Friday night lights. See prep, Page B2
Homer girls, Colony boys swim to titles Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The Homer girls and Colony boys picked up victories Saturday at the Homer Invitational in Homer. The Homer girls scored 85 points to top the 54 of Kodiak. Madison Story led the Mariners to the victory with a big day. She won the 200-yard individual medley in 2 minutes, 16.82 seconds, and the 100 breaststroke in 1:08.83. Story also teamed with Ella BlantonYourkowski, Adeline Berry
and Delta Fabich to take the 200 medley relay in 1:58.56. Berry also came through with a victory in the 100 butterfly, clocking 1:03.77. Also from the peninsula, Kenai’s Rachael Pitsch won the 500 freestyle in 5:52.24 and Seward’s Lydia Jacoby won the 100 backstroke in 1:03.99. The Colony boys cruised to victory in the boys meet, scoring 81 points to top the 68 of runner-up Kodiak. Seward’s Connor Spanos See swim, Page B2
Daigle takes 1st at pair of races Staff report Peninsula Clarion
Homer senior Autumn Daigle won the girls Division II race at the Palmer Invitational, while the Kenai girls and boys both took second in Division II team races, on Saturday. Daigle finished the 5-kilometer course at 19 minutes, 29 seconds, to top runner-up Katie Best of Monroe Catholic by 42 seconds. The Kenai girls took second, scoring 48 points to match champion Grace Christian, but losing out because the Grizzlies had the faster fifth runner. Logan Satathite was third for Kenai at 20:12, while
Jayna Boonstra was fourth at 20:25, Leah Fallon was 10th at 21:05, Summer Foster was 13th at 21:30, Mikaela Hall was 25th at 22:23 and Kaya Cox was 62nd at 26:36. Homer finished fourth on the girls side, with Eryn Field in 19th at 21:56, Kara Super in 30th at 23:00, Mariah McGuire in 37th at 23:54, Maddox Berg in 42nd at 24:40, Leah Dunn in 43rd at 24:42 and Leah Evans in 61st at 26:21. Also from the peninsula in the Division II girls race was Seward’s Hana Cooney in 33rd at 23:20. Maison Dunham led Kenai to second on the See RUN, Page B2

Racers thunder under lights By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
When autumn in Alaska gets dark enough for bright lights to come on, race car drivers turn up the intensity. Friday night exuded that wild-card feel at Twin City Raceway in Kenai, the unpredictable 3/8-mile dirt track that throws even the best of them for a loop. A-Stock, Legends and two full fields of Late Models and Sprint Cars took to the dirt under artificial lighting set up on the infield grass. Saturday night’s races and demolition derby were canceled due to rain. The shine of the lights and intimate setting traditionally attracts additional racers from the Mat-Su valleys and Fairbanks areas, making for bigger fields for the two-night
event. Wasilla Late Model racer Jon Jensen explained that when the sun goes down, the track improves. “This is always the fastest the track is all year,” Jensen said. “We all look forward to coming down for this.” Among the challengers that travel down from up north are the McDonald family — John and son Liam and daughter Emma — all of whom piloted the mighty Sprint Cars on Friday night. “We always come down for the night races,” Liam McDonald said. “We love racing down here, you guys have a nice, fast track.” The Sprint Car races, however, were highlighted by two terrifying crashes by John Mellish and Emma McDonald. Mellish took the first big tumble of the evening in the

ALAMEDA, Calif. — Randy Moss. Josh Gordon. And now Antonio Brown. A dozen years after Bill Belichick took a chance on Moss when the talented but troubled diva had worn out his welcome in Oakland, the Patriots picked up Brown on Saturday hours after he was released by the Raiders without ever playing a game for them. Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed to The Associated Press that the four-time All-Pro receiver has agreed to terms with New England, going from the NFL’s cellar to the defending Super Bowl champions despite talking and tweeting his way out of two teams in one offseason. Brown had been scheduled to earn up to $50 million from Oakland over the three-year deal. Instead, the Patriots
guaranteed him $9 million this season, with the potential to earn as much as $15 million. If Brown can behave, he would make up for the loss of tight end Rob Gronkowski, who retired at the age of 29. After the signing was reported, New England became the oddsmakers’ favorite to win the Super Bowl. A Patriots spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The deal was first reported by ESPN, and it became Instagram official minutes later when Brown posted a photoshopped picture of himself in a Patriots uniform . The post was soon liked by New England receiver Julian Edelman, who already was sharing quarterback Tom Brady’s attention with one troublemaking receiver, Josh Gordon. But Belichick has a See nfl, Page B2
Liam McDonald said the collision was a result of hard racing as he was chasing his father, John, through traffic. “(Mellish) was going around the outside, I was on the inside trying to catch him even more,” McDonald said. “All of a sudden, he had better traction and steered down, and I was sliding out into him and couldn’t stop in time.” Later in the second heat race, Emma McDonald had her own big moment with a slide into turn one that resulted in her slapping the outside barrier, somersaulting her car once before landing on the wheels. Emma said she just drove it into the corner too hard. “I was just a little upset about some calls being made on the track and I was being See RACE, Page B2

first heat race while racing two other cars off turn four. Mellish and Liam McDonald were racing three-wide with another driver when the two touched wheels, sending Mellish up the track and into the guardrail. Mellish’s car took a few cartwheels and eventually landed on its side with a crumpled wing covering the mangled machine. Mellish said both he and McDonald aimed for a gap on the inside of a slower car and the two collided. “The next thing I know, weeee!” Mellish said. “We just came together. Nobody’s fault. It was just racing.” Mellish said as he was unbuckling to get out, a wisp of flames from leaking oil began to stir up and create a smoke cloud. “The main thing is to not panic,” he said.

So far, so good for Soldotna head volleyball coach Luke Baumer. Baumer’s SoHi Stars rolled to a championship victory Saturday at the 12th annual Shayna Pritchard Memorial Tournament at Nikiski High School, holding off a scrappy Kenai Central squad 2-0. SoHi won with game scores of 25-17 and 25-23. Although Kenai plays a division below Soldotna in the state classifications, Baumer said it’s always a task when facing off with their old peninsula rivals. “It always puts that lump in your throat,” he said. “The girls end up sweating a little bit more, and shaking a little more. The first time we played them, it wasn’t easy by any means.” Nikiski had won its home tournament the last two years but gave way this year
to its peninsula rivals. The Bulldogs ended up losing the third-place game to Mt. Edgecumbe. Bethel overcame Grace Christian to take fifth place. Saturday’s final was a rematch of 2016, when SoHi defeated Kenai 2-1. This time around, SoHi started fast, breezing to a dominant win in the first set. The Stars feasted on the Kenai defense by raining blows down from senior hitters Ituau Tuisaula, Bailey Armstrong and Serena Foglia. Tuisaula ended the night with tournament MVP honors, while SoHi teammate Holleigh Jaime also made the All-Tournament Team. The list included Kenai’s Bethany Morris, Abby Every and Bayleigh Skorupa, and Nikiski’s Kaitlyn Johnson, Kaycee Bostic and America Jeffreys.

Jersey Truesdell directed the efficient attack for the Stars, rushing 10 times for 65 yards and hitting 4 of his 6 passes for 81 yards. He had a touchdown pass and a touchdown run. “Jersey Truesdell had a really good game getting us in and out of the right play calls,” Brantley Jr. said. Aaron Faletoi imposed his will on the Christian defense as the game wore on, rushing 10 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns, including six carries for 99 yards in the second half. “He had a really big hit on their starting running back on a screen play, and a big sack,” Brantley Jr. said. “He did a really good job on both sides.” Wyatt Medcoff gave the Patriots fits bursting through the middle all evening, getting 13 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown. He also caught two balls for 53 yards. A Medcoff rushing touchdown started the scoring for SoHi with 7:08 left in the first quarter. On SoHi’s next drive, Medcoff fumbled but there was no harm when the Stars defense made the Patriots go three-and-out for the third straight time.

reckless,” McDonald said. “You can’t jump the start so the person in the front has to make it around turn four first, and they weren’t calling it when other people were doing it.” John and Liam finished 1-2 in all three races, with Liam winning the second heat and John grabbing the checkers in his No. 78 racer in heat one and the 25-lap feature. The Late Model class saw a triumphant return to Twin City after missing for much of the summer. Al Ulman drove his No. 74 machine to the win in the second heat, but Mike Braddock had the last laugh, winning the first heat and feature race in his No. 82 car. Wasilla racers Damien LaMountain and Jon Jensen had wild nights, both running into mistakes that cost them victories. In the second heat, Jensen lost control while leading with two laps to go, giving the top spot to LaMountain. However, LaMountain was on his way to victory on a two-lap dash before spinning out from the lead on the final lap, allowing Ulman by to take the win. For LaMountain, it was the first time for him in a Late

Sohi then went on a 11-play, 4:40, 80-yard drive that ended with a Faletoi 2-yard touchdown with 11:55 left in the second quarter. Williams then intercepted on Christian’s next play, and four plays and 46 yards later, Galen Brantley Jr. caught a 16-yard pass from Truesdell for a 20-0 lead with 9:48 left in the second quarter. The Patriots then had their best drive of the game, a 12-play, 66-yard effort capped by a 7-yard plunge from Gabe Stine for a 20-7 game. Then came SoHi’s lone three-and-out of the game, but the Stars were able to stop a Christian drive at the 19 to keep the score at 20-7. The Stars took back the momentum with an eightplay, 65-yard drive capped by a Truesdell run to start the half, then turned the Patriots over on downs after eight plays. Six plays later, Faletoi had a bruising 35-yard run with 2:10 left in the third to make it 35-7. “The break couldn’t have come at a better time,” Brantley Jr. said of halftime. “It was hot, and we had a chance to get their core temperatures down and get them watered up and iced up. We started the second half the way we started the game, and they didn’t recover.” The Stars were able to do other things on the trip, like watch UC Davis top San
Model racer, and LaMountain blamed his inexperience on his spin. “Just a rookie mistake, I overshot the corner a little,” LaMountain said. “I should’ve slowed down and walked it through the corner.” In the Late Models feature, Ulman spun out while leading with eight laps remaining, allowing Jensen to inherit the lead, but it was short-lived. Out front with a comfortable margin, Jensen ended up spinning again with five to go, allowing Braddock to cash in as the winner. Jensen said the track was tough to handle Friday night. “It was a rough track, and I just got tired,” he said. “The track was fast, but it was just one of those things where I couldn’t hold a straight line and got into the corner too hard.” David Kusmider dominated the Legends class with a clean sweep of all three races Friday. The A-Stock races saw Nikiski teenager Mady Stichal take two of three races, including an impressive feature victory. Stichal ran down race leader Jeremy Herr and passed him with four laps left to secure the win. Herr finished second in all three A-Stock races, including heat one when he lost to Seward teenager Clay Peterson.

with a 2-1 match win with scores of 25-20, 21-25 and 15-6, showcasing an improved depth of the team. In the second set against SoHi, the Kards battled back to take the lead at 18-16, and pushed it to 20-18 on a tip kill by Morris. A kill point by Tuisaula kick-started a 3-0 run for SoHi that helped the Stars finish strong.

Houston 20, Homer 8 The defending Peninsula Conference champion Hawks opened up conference play on the road in Homer by coming back from an early deficit for the win. Houston is 4-0 overall and 1-0 in the league, while Homer is 1-2 and 0-1. With 1:27 left in the first quarter, Carter Tenison caught a 46-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Kalugin, then Kalugin ran in the conversion, for an 8-0 lead. But the Hawks’ control of the line of scrimmage would be too much to overcome. Houston ended up with 232 rushing yards on 51 attempts, while Homer was at 18 yards on 16 carries. Owen Mulhaney had 125 yards on 17 carries and cut the gap to 8-6 with a 58-yard run with 4:25 left in the second quarter. In the third, Mulhaney put Homer ahead for good when he scored on a 5-yard run, when ran in the conversion for a 14-8 lead with 0:29 left in the third quarter. A 24-yard interception return

Kenai head coach Tracie Beck left feeling optimistic about the Kards. “We have a really well-rounded team that has put work into this upcoming season to be successful,” Beck said. “But Ituau is tough to stop. We can play with them when she’s sitting on the bench.” Morris ended the night with eight kills, while Jenna Streiff had 24 digs and Kaylee Lauritsen added 10 assists. After losing to Kenai in the semis, Nikiski lost to Mt. Edgecumbe in the third-place game 25-18 and 25-20. Against Edgecumbe, Nikiski got 11 digs each from America Jeffreys and

North Pole football tops Kenai, snaps skid By Danny Martin Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
Chris Wetland, when he came to North Pole High School for Saturday afternoon’s football game against the Kenai Kardinals, was accompanied by a memory of the last victory for the Patriots football team. “The last time we won a game was Sept. 27 of 2017 down in Ketchikan,” Wetland, North Pole offensive coordinator, said after a 31-6 nonconference victory over the Kardinals to end the Patriots’ 12-game losing streak. “It means everything,” Wetland said of the win in the Division II nonconference game. “Our kids faced a lot of adversity over the last year and finally to put everything together, it’s just so awesome to see these kids happy and to see that they can play football.” The Patriots, of the Railbelt Conference, finished 0-8 in the 2018 regular season, and also saw then head coach Dennis Diviney placed on academic leave during the season. Amid an eventual joyful Saturday at James Watson Patriot Pride Field, Chris Lovett aided the Patriots, and helped first-year head coach
Mike Hollett gain his first win, by compiling nearly 200 yards in total offense. “It feels great,” Lovett said of the win which came after an 0-3 start this season. The senior, in his first season as North Pole’s starting quarterback, rushed 16 times for a game-high 145 yards. He completed five of eight passes for 92 yards, including a 16-yard strike to Kaden Bostwick to help North Pole go ahead 21-0 with 7:16 left in the third quarter. Skyler Denny’s foot benefited the Patriots, too. The senior defensive back and wide receiver converted point-after kicks on all four touchdowns and he delivered a 26-yard field goal for a 24-0 lead with 1:01 left in the third quarter. Hollett, a former North Pole offensive lineman and assistant coach, enjoyed the postgame celebration while he was surrounded by his family and the Patriots players and coaches. Hollett told the team during its postgame meeting that losing was an illness and winning was the cure. “It’s just one of those things like when you have a disease and it affects the body, you need something to come in and take it out; you need
something extra,” Hollett said. “Victories are a way to do that.” “In order to win,” he said, “everybody has to play together. “(With) losing teams, it’s real easy to break apart and (with) winning teams, it’s real easy to go through adversity because you’re winning.” Before Saturday’s win, Hollett was impressed with his team’s cohesiveness. “They’ve been tight the whole time,” he said. “Coming off last year (0-8 overall finish), this group of returning kids has been real tight and doing all the little things well. They’ve been real receptive to the coaches and all the positive things. So we’ve just been real impressed with them and I’m excited them to get a ‘W.’ ” Isaiah Harding was among a happy bunch of Patriots upperclassmen Saturday. “After all this adversity, we’re were tired of losing. So we had to step it up in this game, and finally prove to people that we’re actually something,” said the senior running back. Harding contributed to the Patriots’ affirmation with a pair of short, hard-fought touchdown runs in the first quarter, giving North Pole a 14-0 lead which stood for the
rest of the first half. He muscled in for a 1-yard TD with 9:05 left in the first for the game’s first score. Harding bolted into the end zone from four yards out with 54 seconds left in the opening quarter. “All I thought was ‘I’ve got to do this for my team.’ So I just sacrificed my body for them,” said Harding, whose two touchdowns were part of his 40-yard rushing day on 10 carries. Ryan Walters, another Patriots senior, sealed the win with a 2-yard run with 6:11 left in the game. North Pole is scheduled to host the Palmer Moose in a conference game at 7 p.m. Friday. The Kardinals, of the Northern Lights Conference, fell to 1-2 this season. “We were just undisciplined. We shot ourselves too many times jumping offsides and not executing,” Kenai head coach Dustin Akana said. “Not doing what we prepared to do this week.” Among the bright spots Saturday for the Kardinals were seniors Zach Burnett (running back) and Braedon Pitsch (wide receiver). Burnett rushed 14 times for a team-best 129 yards and provided the Kardinals’ touchdown on an 11-yard sweep

with 9:22 left in the game. Before the touchdown, Kenai had fourth down and 14 yards to go from the North Pole 29-yard line. Kardinals freshman quarterback Bridger Beck threw a pass to Pitsch, who leaped simultaneously with Denny, who was playing defensive back for the team at the time, and outwrestled the North Pole senior for the ball as they landed at 11-yard line. “Braedon Pitsch is an excellent athlete on our team,” Akana said. “His work ethic, his drive just showed in that play. He fought for that ball even though he was 4
yards away from that ball. “When that ball landed, he fought for it and he got it. That just shows his heart, his drive and his leadership with the team.” Kenai had 201 yards rushing and 61 yards passing but couldn’t finish drives. Also for the Kards, Tucker Vann rushed 12 times for 40 yards and James Sparks rushed four times for 16 yards. Pitsch caught two balls for 32 yards, while Aidan Milburn caught two for 10 yards and Burnett caught a ball for 7 yards. At QB, Bridger Beck was 7 of 14 with one interception.
Barrow football pulls away from Nikiski late By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
In a game defined by a titanic midfield struggle amid a steady autumn rain, it was only appropriate that a high-flying, acrobatic play would decide the final result. The Barrow Whalers ultimately wore down the Nikiski Bulldogs with two fourth-quarter touchdowns that provided the difference in a 14-0 nonconference win Saturday at Nikiski High School. Scoreless after three quarters, the Whalers finally put points on the board on a 30-yard, highlightreel leaping snag by senior Micah Serino with 10 minutes left in the game, helping the Whalers improve to 2-1 overall in 2019. Nikiski stayed winless at 0-3. Just two years after winning the Division III state championship, the Whalers are in the midst of building back to a title contender, and head coach Chris Battle said he has preached a no-quit attitude in practice and in their personal lives.
“It was just grit, coming together as a unit,” Battle said. “We’re getting ready for conference play. It was a big dogfight to the end, they fought to the end with perseverance and made it happen for them.” The first three quarters were a struggle for field position as both teams failed to establish any kind of momentum. The first five possessions of the game ended in turnovers on downs, and in the first half, the two teams combined to go 1 for 12 on third down. The teams combined to lose the ball 14 times for six turnovers. Barrow moved the ball better with 221 team rushing yards, led by the 106 yards by sophomore back Ervin Feleti. Barrow outgained Nikiski in total offense 299 to 71. Bulldogs senior Michael Mysing led the offense with 46 yards on 17 carries, while senior QB Noah Litke hit 4 of 11 targets for 31 yards and an interception. Nikiski struggled to break off any substantial plays — the Bulldogs’ largest running play longer than 6 yards was a 14-yard

burst by Mysing early in the first quarter. “It was a little bit sloppy, lots of penalties, lots of balls on the ground,” said Nikiski head coach Paul Nelson. “I think it was the team that could pull out the big play was the one that was going to come out on top.” “Unfortunately for us, they were the ones to do it.” The big play showed up after both teams traded punts and turnovers in a fierce battle between the two 20-yard lines. Until the early minutes of the fourth quarter, the only red-zone trip for either team was Barrow making it to Nikiski’s 1-yard line in the second quarter following a botched punt attempt. The Whalers wasted that chance to score on a fumble as Mysing scooped it up and took off 78 yards the other way. But when the fourth quarter dawned at a scoreless deadlock, the Whalers were finally able to open up their passing game, which has been seldom used on the slippery natural
CIA soccer finishes 0-3 at Tri-Valley tourney Staff Report Peninsula Clarion
The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team finished 0-3 at the Tri-Valley Kickoff Tournament on Thursday and Friday to fall to 0-5-1 on the season. Thursday, CIA opened up the tournament with a 2-0 loss to defending Borealis Conference champions Susitna Valley. The defeat saw the Eagles continue to do well possessing the ball, but also continue to struggle scoring goals. In the first half, the Rams won five corner kicks and forced CIA keeper Jackson Cross to make five saves. But defenders Landon Vyhmeister, Genna Nelson, Eddie Erickson and Evelyn Jackson kept the Rams off the board. CIA coach Kenny Leaf said midfielders Isaac Johnson, Caden Warren, Annika Castenholz and Lucas Cragg also were able to create opportunities in the attacking third.
In the seventh and ninth minutes of the second half, Myka Wilson and Dalton Pinard scored to determine the game and drop CIA from championship contention. Leaf said the Eagles played their best soccer of the season in falling to Su Valley. CIA then struggled in falling to Birchwood Christian 6-0 on Friday and Lumen Christi 4-1 on Friday. Birchwood Christian had three goals in the first half and three goals in the second half. Bradon Palmer had four of the goals for the Warriors. Lumen went up 2-0 with goals in the 13th and 17th minutes, then Johnson scored on a solo effort in the penalty area for the Eagles. Leaf said it was one of the few bright spots in the game. The goal was the second of the year for the Eagles. In the first and third minutes of the second half, Lumen took control of the game again with goals.

The Whalers, suddenly full of life, then staged a nine-play, 39-yard drive to score on a 20-yard touchdown run by Serino, who slammed it up the middle to push the lead to 14-0 after a twopoint run by Freaun with 5:14 to play.

grass field. After forcing a turnover on downs, the Whalers got a tideturning play from junior receiver Jefferson Nobleza, who brought down a long pass from Barrow QB Anthony Freaun that took them from their own 40 to the Nikiski 25. Two plays later, Freaun rolled back and scrambled to his right, eventually spotting Serino downfield before lobbing the ball up. Serino hauled it in at around the 10 and slipped by a few Nikiski tacklers to score. Battle said Serino is only in his second year playing football, but the senior has come a long way to give the Whalers added depth. “Last year was his first year to play,” Battle said. “He’s always been a hockey guy, they have a hockey team that his dad runs, and he decided to come out and play football, and he has grown tremendously.” After taking a 6-0 lead, Barrow’s defense didn’t let down. Nikiski couldn’t come up with a first down on the ensuing possession

In this living room, interior designer Jennifer Bunsa used overhead LED lighting on dimmers that can offer a soft glow or brighter light, depending on the time of day and needs of the homeowner.
The light fantastic 5 ways the right lighting can elevate your home
By Melissa Rayworth
Griffin says. Bunsa says this is especially important around dining tables and kitchen islands: “If it’s a space where you’re going to be sitting and having a conversation,” she says, “make sure people’s faces are lit” rather than having light looming above them.

W
hen you shop for a new sofa or another piece of furniture, it’s not hard to envision how it might look in your living room. And if you’re considering a new wall color, you can test pretty simply with swatches. But shopping for lighting can be more complicated. It’s easy fall in love with the design of a light fixture or lamp, notes interior designer Maggie Griffin, but how will it illuminate your space? How will it work with the lighting you already have? And which variety of light bulb will provide the kind of light you need? Here, three interior design experts — Griffin, founder of the Atlanta-based Maggie Griffin Design; Jennifer Bunsa of Bunsa Studio Interiors and co-founder of WorkRoom Miami; and Caitlin Murray, founder of L.A.’s Black Lacquer design — offer advice on choosing the best lighting for any room, and on navigating the range of new lightbulbs and LED technology.
GET GLOWING Although many people worry about having enough light, the biggest challenge is usually avoiding glare, says Bunsa. Many houses have can lights in the ceiling which flood a room with light. Make sure those are on a dimmer, and then add other fixtures and lamps that offer a softer glow. Rather than choosing a fixture that functions like a spotlight, Bunsa says, “I always try to shop for things that are more like glowing globes that are a little bit
CONSIDER CURB APPEAL How does your home’s lighting appear to those approaching your front door? Although many people focus on privacy and might add plantation shutters or blinds to front windows, it’s important to step outside and consider the effect, says Griffin. Try placing a table near a front window, she says, and put a lamp on it that gives a warm glow easily seen from outside.
INJECTING A CHANGE OF STYLE This room designed by Maggie Griffin shows the proper height for hanging light fixtures, especially over dining tables. It’s important that they be low enough to illuminate the room and that overhead light is balanced by light from table lamps.
warmer.” “Lighting can make you uncomfortable if it’s too bright,” she says. Griffin agrees: For a more appealing effect, she says, you might choose a fixture with several bulbs that give off softer light, rather than just one very bright bulb. And when choosing bulbs, consider their color temperature. “The goal for really good LEDs is to mimic incandescent lighting,” Bunsa says. “Incandescent lighting is on the warmer side of the Kelvin scale — 2700-3000 Kelvin.” Bulbs in the 4000 K range, she says, give very cold light. “It makes a space feel a lot
warmer if you go with the warmer color temperature,” she says.
FRAME ONE AREA Lighting can draw attention to your favorite art or furnishings, says Griffin, and create a strategic pool of light in one part of a room. For a client in Atlanta, she added sconces to the sides of kitchen cabinets to give light both practical and beautiful around the kitchen sink. She also suggests hard-wiring some light fixtures into bookcases to showcase items on the shelves and bring an extra glow. Murray takes the same
approach, using sconces to frame certain areas in a room and bring a bit of intimacy to parts of a large room.
DON’T HANG TOO HIGH Griffin says people usually err on the side of hanging lights too high, rather than too low. Sometimes in a living room that has a high ceiling, “there’s this big, great looking chandelier,” she says, but “it’s hung so high you wonder, ‘What does it actually illuminate?’” Instead, aim to hang fixtures low enough to “make the room feel more cozy and intimate,”
Using a mix of vintage and modern light fixtures and lamps can make a room more appealing and shake up its style, Murray says. A vintage lamp or fixture “adds character and soul and makes it feel not so cookie-cutter,” she says, and rewiring an old piece is more environmentally sustainable than buying new. Griffin agrees: “Don’t get hung up on matching your lights,” she says, “especially if you’re doing a renovation or new build.” A blend of styles, she says, “is far more interesting than the way they used to do it, where they picked out the matching set.” Experimenting with a range of styles, she says, “gives you a chance to let your personality shine through.”
Prince Harry announces massive travel sustainability project By Leanne Italie Associated Press
NEW YORK — The eco-minded Prince Harry is embarking on a massive travel sustainability initiative in partnership with key travel providers. They aim to improve the practices of the global industry amid an ever-increasing number of travelers. The Duke of Sussex picked Amsterdam, a city hit hard by overtourism, to announce Travalyst at a news conference Tuesday with his partners, Booking.com; TripAdvisor; Visa; China’s largest travel company, Ctrip; and the Ctripowned fare aggregator Skyscanner. The long-term initiative is
focused on tackling the travel industry’s impact on climate change, improving wildlife conservation, and protecting the environment in top tourist spots around the world. It aims to increase the amount of tourism dollars that go to local communities, and find answers to over-tourism. “Travel has the unparalleled power to open people’s minds to different cultures, new experiences, and to have a profound appreciation for what our world has to offer,” the duke said in a statement shared with The Associated Press ahead of the formal announcement. “As tourism inevitably grows, it is critically important to accelerate

the adoption of sustainable practices worldwide, and to balance this growth with the needs of the environment and the local population. Bringing companies, consumers and communities together is our best chance to protect destinations and ecosystems for future generations,” he added. Harry drew criticism this summer when he and his family took a private jet to go on vacation, despite the flight’s carbon impact on the planet. They had flown to the home of singer Elton John, who said the aircraft offered them needed privacy and protection, and was carbon-neutral because it

Restoring Victorian home is man’s labor of love By Ethan Colbert The Herald-Whig
QUINCY, Ill. — Before he bought the two-story Victorian-era home in Quincy, Illinois, Paul Kevin Geers would sit on the curb across the street and stare at what he describes as an “imposing house.” It was a house he knew well. After all, he had grown up next door. “I would just sit across the curb and envision the possibilities,” Geers said. “I would think about what colors of paint I would use, of where I would plant shrubs, of how I can restore the home and make it better.” In 2016, Geers purchased the home and immediately went to work on implementing his vision for the home, which was built in 1889. “Nothing had really been done to the house in 40 or 50 years,” Geers said. “It was a mess.” One of his first projects was to scrape away centuries of paint. “I scratched and scratched away layer after layer of paint,” Geers said. After repainting the exterior in a traditional Victorianera color palette, Geers said he remodeled the back porch and made it resemble the front porch, including the railing and lattice work. He also had the roof replaced, which revealed a shake shingle roof underneath the layers of various

other types of shingles. Geers also has nearly completed an extensive remodeling of the interior of the home. He hopes to have that completed later this year. Once completed, Geers will turn his attention to
building a one-stall garage on the property, redoing the driveway, adding shrubbery, planting trees, and other landscaping materials to the front yard. Geers acknowledges that restoring the Victorian-era home has been a labor of
love for the man, who splits his time between his home in Quincy and in St. Louis. He said the satisfaction of seeing a home he knew as a child restored has been worth it. “I’ve always liked north end houses, especially
the big homes on Sixth and Fifth Streets,” Geers said. “The houses are all so unique. In one or two blocks, you may have a house from the 1860s, the 1850s or the 1830s. They are going to all be built with different styles of

architecture.” Gees said he hopes his work may prompt others to purchase and restore homes in the oldest section of the city, which he says has “pockets of houses in bad condition that are craving tender love and care.”
Phil Spector’s home — where he killed Lana Clarkson — gets price cut By Jack Flemming
1925 by French immigrant Sylvester Dupuy, who was attempting to mimic the castles he saw as a child. It was divided into apartments in the 1940s and
remodeled by a Chinese investor in the ’80s before Spector shelled out $1.1 million for the place in 1998, calling it “a beautiful and enchanting castle
in a hick town where there is no place to go that you shouldn’t go.” His only interactions with neighbors were quick waves as he sped by in a luxury car. One compared him to a feudal lord among serfs. At the time, the move seemed to reflect his desire for a quieter life after years of domestic abuse allegations and public drunken rages, the Los Angeles Times previously reported. Five years later, however, 40-year-old actress Lana Clarkson was found shot to death in the marble foyer after the pair spent a night

Among issues the coalition will focus on is improving on-the-ground travel and tourism entrepreneurship in local communities. Last year, the number of international trips taken globally reached 1.4 Serving the Kenai Peninsula forbillion, 18 years a number reached two
years faster than originally projected by the United Nations’ tourism agency, the World Tourism Organization. According to the World Bank, the number of trips taken annually by people around the globe has more than doubled since 2000. Travel and tourism fed $8.8 trillion into the global economy in 2018, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council.

Gathering service providers into one coalition is a feat unto itself in a competitive industry with piles of profit on the table. Other areas explored will include cleaner aviation fuel, more travel experiences focused on sustainability, and educating tourists on the footprints they make and the waste they leave behind. “The commitment from these different brands to work together and help
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Phil Spector’s infamous murder castle —where he shot actress Lana Clarkson to death in 2003 —just got a bit cheaper. After listing for $5.5 million earlier this year, the French Chateau-style mansion has returned to market at $5 million in Alhambra. The eerie estate known as the Pyrenees Castle has seen plenty over the years, even before the disgraced record producer moved in.

out in Hollywood. Spector was arrested soon after, and following a mistrial in 2007, he was retried and convicted of seconddegree murder two years later. He’s currently serving a prison sentence of 19 years to life with parole eligibility in 2025. Walled and gated, the dramatic estate spans 2.65 acres at the top of a knoll. A quarter-mile driveway approaches the landscaped motor court centered by a fountain. Inside, crystal chandeliers, hand-painted murals, mirrored walls, beamed ceilings and original hardwood floors fill out
8,686 square feet of living spaces. Past the infamous marble foyer, there’s a wood-paneled living room, dining room with beamed ceilings, two kitchens, two offices, a game room, wet bar and hair salon. Elsewhere are nine bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Upstairs, terraces take in sweeping city views from both the front and back of the home. Spector, 79, produced award-winning work with iconic groups such as the Ronettes, the Beatles and the Ramones during his career. His writing credits include “Be My Baby” and “Then He Kissed Me.”

Specific programs and projects will likely be launched within the next 18 months. Harry
will be actively at the helm. Consumers are hungry for change, with 71 percent of global travelers telling Booking.com they think travel companies should offer more sustainable travel choices, and 68 percent saying it was important that their travel dollars support local communities. At Skyscanner over the last 12 months, 10 million travelers selected the lowest carbon emission flight option, for instance. Travalyst will be the first initiative to fall under the Sussex Royal charitable foundation of Harry and Meghan after they spun off from the joint trust established by his brother, Prince William, and duchess Kate.

reach their age in homo sapien years. I just hope it stays as cool as it has been lately because the mutts are starting to miss out on some cool sights as the climate transforms its wardrobe into the newest fall fashions. The sandhill cranes are gathering in expanding flocks and bugling their descents onto neighboring, newly harvested, hayfields to feed and bulk up while tutoring their colts on foraging and in-flight skills. For the first time in years, we have hares, sporting small white spots of what will be their imminent winter coats, grazing on what’s left of our grass while a 12-member clutch of feral juvenile pheasants play hide and go seek in the wild raspberry patches. So far, when I’ve herded the ancient and reluctant malcontents out to complete their delicates, the faunae rapidly disappear leaving behind enticing aromas that light up the canines’ elderly eyes. I think that once the visiting critters realize that their potential stalkers would probably fall asleep trying to chase them

down, a truce of tolerance will prevail. We saw such a circumstance transpire after we welcomed a rescue toy poodle into our home shortly after adopting Howard. She had been abused and was a tiny and terrified thing until she realized that she longer had to cower at a human’s approach and could trust another dog. Until she unexpectantly died of cancer, it wasn’t unusual to see her confidently sniffing around the yard while various non threating wildlife roamed nearby. There was even an old mamma moose that would follow Little Bear around if she happened to spot her on patrol. It was an amazing thing to observe. I’m sure that within the next few days, Princess and H. will be back to sniffing out their old haunts and acting their old abnormal selves. Until then, my bride and I will scan the skies listening for the cranes’ final cries of goodbye and watch the tree leaves turn from sun-branded browns to the natural colors of fall.

You Can Be #Great!
How can you be #Great?
Mini Thought:
Nobody is perfect, but consider these simple words from Abraham Lincoln: “When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad.” Practicing great behavior helps it become a habit. Help yourself by keeping a great-for-me diary. Keep a list of the great things you do for yourself and others. You can start your diary here, then expand it as the school year goes on.
Not all role models are famous. Who are some of your personal role models?
#Respect
photo by Keith Allison
Today, I:
• for myself: I am active every day. • for others: I clean up my messes. • for property: I don’t take things that aren’t mine. • for rules: I follow rules at school and at home. • for authority: I listen to my teacher and my parents.
... treated others as I would like to be treated. ... volunteered to help without being asked. ... was on time for school and other actvities.
#Responsibility
• I’m dependable. • I accept blame when I’m at fault.
... invited others to join in a game at recess.
#Cooperation
• I work with others to achieve goals.
#Caring
... helped a parent or sibling with a chore.
• I give my time, effort and thoughts to others.
... called or sent a note to an elderly relative.
#Fairness
Doing good
People with good character traits are usually happier and lead fuller lives than people with bad traits. Being great starts within. It begins with how you feel and behave toward yourself and others. You have to practice, practice, practice. Every little good thing counts toward building strong character. We have given you some building blocks for good character, along with ways to practice them. We bet you have great ideas yourself.

We sometimes look to athletes and music, film and TV stars as heroes and heroines. We want to be like them. But while we admire these people for what they do, it’s their life off the stage or field that really counts. There is more to greatness than hitting home runs, having a hit album or starring in Lebron James a blockbuster film or TV show. You could be someone else’s role model. You don’t have to be a big star to be great yourself! You can be great in your very own way. The more you practice good character traits, the better a person you become.
• I listen to both sides and think about how my decisions will affect others.
Resources On the Web:
• bit.ly/MPcharacter
#Honesty
At the library:
• I always tell the truth.
• “Ordinary Mary’s Extraordinary Deed” by Emily Pearson • “The Invisible Boy” by Trudy Ludwig
#Courage
• I follow my own beliefs, even when they’re not popular with others.

Eco Note Cockroaches are developing a super-immunity to multiple classes of insecticides, leaving Earth’s human population with little chemical defense against the hoards of creepy crawlies. A Purdue University study found that the German cockroach can develop an immunity to new poisons in as little as one generation. The increasing immunity means it will become necessary to use methods like traps, vacuums and better sanitation.

DEAR ABBY: No one should be putting casseroles down the disposal when they should be put into the trash if not shared with others. My concern is that water utilities across the country are being overwhelmed and at the breaking point because of waste inappropriately disposed through a city’s water system. — GIVE UTILITIES A BREAK!
DEAR ABBY: After my husband passed away, several people brought paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, facial tissue, paper plates and cups, trash sacks, etc.). I have done this for bereaved families as well. Because the family will have lots of people dropping in, a supply of these products will be used and do not need to be stored. A book of stamps in a sympathy card is also useful. — SUE IN MERRIMAN, NEB.
DEAR ABBY: We had a celebration of life for my husband in our home. Many people brought food, far more than our family could use. After folks left, we took the casseroles, boxes of chicken and desserts to our fire and police stations. The men and women there were thrilled. It was a good use of the food and a way to thank those who serve the community. — KATHRYN IN PEACHTREE CITY, GA.
DEAR ABBY: In my community, we have often organized a sign-up sheet for people to bring meals to a mourning family during a twoweek period instead of bringing a casserole immediately. (We also do this in times of illness.) I think it’s deeply appreciated and prevents the kind of waste described in “Enough’s” letter. — LAUREN IN PALO ALTO, CALIF.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH During most of the day, you might be serious minded and all about the matter at hand. Businesspeople will flourish during this period. Your mood could change substantially toward evening. A friend could invite you to a fun gathering.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Use the period through midafternoon for communication. Gather more information by learning about or looking at a problem from
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your playfulness and ability to get past problems help lighten up a difficult conversation or interaction with a partner or close associate. Open up to new ideas and better ways of handling a problem. Tonight: Give up reacting. Detach.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might be too moody for your own good. You feel very strongly about certain matters. A partner also feels strongly about the same matters. The problem is with each of your perspectives. Try not to be so judgmental. Try out another person’s rationale..
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Some people find it hard to imagine you as all business and no play. If they took a peek into your life today, they would see this facet of your personality. You have some hoops to jump through; you’ll do so. Your mood changes as the day ends. .
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH You might want to spread your wings, but matters on the home front, family issues or matters with real estate prevent you from indulging in some lightness. Handle what you must; free yourself up. Tonight: What do you really want to do?
PET PAL Dear Readers: Meet Cooper, Karen’s Maltese, fresh from the groomer. He looks quite handsome with his new tie. Five months old and he RULES the house. That’s the way it is for the “only child” pet in her family! To see Cooper and our other Pet Pals, visit www. Heloise.com and click on “Pet of the Week.” Do you have a funny and furry friend? Send a picture and description to Heloise@Heloise.com. -- Heloise
Rubes | Leigh Rubin
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You spend the early parts of the day analyzing and doing some soul-searching. By late afternoon, you smile, and another person responds!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your ability to get past some disagreements or mixed feelings earmarks many of your interactions. When all is said and done, you’ll sit back and reflect on what you heard, evaluating each idea or statement. .
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Rather than complaining, emphasize what’s good around certain associates. You’ll discover that others share many of your thoughts as well. Nevertheless, you’ll hold back some important information until you feel that you’re on surer ground.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Statesman Journal in Salem, Oregon, and I have enjoyed your hints and information for many years. One of your columns contained something that troubled me: A reader recommending putting perfume in her vacuum to make “the whole house smell wonderful.” As someone with a perfume allergy, my eyes practically started to water just reading that. If someone were to do that, I would have the option not to go in her house. This lady’s two dogs don’t have that option. Given that a dog’s sense of smell is much keener than a human’s, she may be subjecting those dogs to an unpleasant and strong scent. I felt terrible for those pets that would not have the option to say if it smells bad to them. -- Marcia H., via email

HHHH Before making any financial decisions, make sure that you’re on rock-hard ground. You’ll feel more confident and freer to evaluate an offer or business deal. Honor your feelings in an important conversation.
SMELLY SITUATION
Monday’s answers, 9-2
HHHH Sometimes, you feel as though the weight of the world is on you. You need to evaluate which way to go and why. In a while, you’ll see life from a different perspective. You’re building toward that point. Don’t make irreversible decisions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
hints from heloise Dear Readers: Tomorrow is NATIONAL GRANDPARENTS DAY. The holiday became official in the United States in 1978. What is its goal? To show the reciprocal relationship between grandparents and their children’s children. Grandparents enrich our lives tremendously; they are strong and wise. Spend tomorrow with your family, or adopt a grandparent at the neighborhood senior center. -- Heloise
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHHH If you don’t like a child’s or loved one’s behavior, you could fuss. In any case, what one person wants from you could be very different from another person’s needs. You might need to do some juggling. .
Restaurant founder Colonel Sanders (1890), actor Hugh Grant (1960), writer Leo Tolstoy (1828)

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Sept. 8, 2019: This year, you can be counted on to find the right solution or come up with an unusual idea. To some people, you have a magical quality. If single, you draw several admirers who would love to get to know you better. Choose who you want. If you’re attached, you as a couple nourish each other naturally. You will zoom in on a long-term desire. CAPRICORN likes your style. 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) HHH Be willing to take the lead. Despite a feeling of abundance and goodwill, others need some direction when following through on a project or their plans. You follow through on your intuition. Rethink a decision. Tonight: Leader of the gang.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care about enormously. You might feel as if you are wandering from one idea to another. A friend often inspires you, and once more he or she appears with a great idea. Tonight: Give some thought to adjusting your plans.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
you feel a little down about a personal matter. A partner or dear friend will feed you some information or a thought that makes you smile. You have a new beginning if you so choose. Tonight: Be open to a change of plans.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You speak your mind and allow greater give and take from others. You might not be as interested in being right as you are in what others are thinking about and considering. Be aware of what a neighbor or relative seems to be offering. Tonight: Be spontaneous.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Be aware of the changes you are experiencing around funds and your chosen direction. You could want to ask questions and understand what is happening. You have more of a say than you think. Listen rather than make strong statements. Tonight: Where the beginning is.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHHH One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. A discussion you have could be quite provocative and lead you down another new path. Understand what is happening with the other party. He or she is transforming right in front of you. Tonight: Be a duo.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Make it your pleasure to defer to others. You will enjoy some free time without having to worry about others, their plans or anything you might not want to. A friendship could be more significant than you believe. Refuse to be pushed into agreeing with someone else. Tonight: Express your thoughts.
HHH Assume a low-profile right now. You have a lot on your mind, or you need some quiet down time. Do not hesitate to accept this period, as it gives you time to recharge and rethink a project or a key relationship. Weigh the pros and cons rather than make a decision. Tonight: Stay close to home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH You could be dragging. Perhaps you should consider slowing down and relaxing. If you want, invite a fun friend over or get into a game that allows you to be more relaxed and less on show. Others care about what you are saying. Tonight: Give some thought to tomorrow.
HHHH Speak your mind and get to the bottom of a problem. Zero in on what remains a high priority for you. You are unusually inspired even when others resist what you think is a great idea. Tonight: Hang with a friend.

my sexual orientation. Is it normal not to know what one wants at my age? -- DON’T KNOW WHAT I WANT DEAR DON’T KNOW: Many people older than you have trouble figuring out what they want. You appear to be what is called a late bloomer. Because you are not interested in having a relationship, you should concentrate on your education for now. After you are enrolled, pay a visit to the student health center and inquire about counseling services. If you do, it will not only provide you with some insight but also give you a chance to get to know yourself better.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 22-yearold female college graduate who plans to further my education. I have never had a boyfriend or been kissed, although I’ve had casual crushes. I’m not interested in having a relationship in the near future, and I’m not certain I ever want to be in one. I have no idea how I would start one if I did. Sometimes I wonder if I were more physically attractive if it would be easier. I feel lonely, but at the same time, I’m happy being alone. Sometimes I’m not even sure about

HHH Stay steady and do not ask too many questions. You experience a change of feeling and thought about a domestic matter. This change becomes you and allows more flexibility from you with others. Tonight: At home.
HHHHH You are in your element right now. However, you might find that others could test your thoughts or ideas. Having an animated discussion could change your mind. Be aware of how nebulous you might be in the way you express your thoughts. Tonight: Up for a discussion.
HHHH Your playfulness emerges even if

Young people today are far less interested in family heirlooms than in previous generations, and it wouldn’t be surprising if your future children are no different. Suggest to your mother that she discuss with other relatives the option of giving them her collection to share with their children. But do not

jeanne phillips Dear Abby
of it, I have no interest in. As she’s getting older, my mother is becoming increasingly agitated about what will happen to her collection when she dies. For a while she was trying to give me some of the things. When she found out I gave away a vase she had given me, she just about flipped. Now she is trying to get me to agree to preserve her whole house the way it is and pass it down to my future children intact. Of course, I can’t promise that. Should I pretend to agree with her plan so her anxiety level goes down? This disagreement has now overshadowed our relationship.
2019 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
DEAR ABBY: My mother, who is in her late 60s, is obsessed with family history and preserving attachments to relatives. In addition to being the family genealogist, she collects objects that belonged to relatives or people who “might” have been relatives, those who share our last name or lived in the same small town as our ancestors. Her house is stuffed to the gills with furniture, books, legal documents, photos and the like. Each object has a story that goes with it. Every time I visit, she spends literally hours talking about the various histories of her things
