Suicide awareness event Saturday The Kenaitze Indian Tribe is hosting an event this weekend to promote suicide awareness and prevention. The “You Matter. L;ve” Suicide Awareness and Prevention Walk will take place at 10 a.m. on Saturday at the Dena’ina Wellness Center in Old Town Kenai. The community is invited to come together to support those who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or depression, and those who have experienced loss due to suicide. Alaska has one of the highest suicide rates in the country. According to data from the Department of Health and Social Services released earlier this year, 1,103 people died by suicide in the state between 2012 and 2017. Saturday’s event will include a memorial table, an honor bracelet project, speakers, information resources and giveaways. The first 200 participants will receive a free T-shirt. The event is open to the community and there is no cost to attend. For more information or to preregister, contact the Kenaitze Indian Tribe’s Behavioral Health Support Services Supervisor Kerri Roe at 907-335-7321 or kroe@ kenaitze.org. Participants can also register at the event. — Brian Mazurek

School contract talks to resume Negotiations between the school district and two employee associations will continue in private, after a potential threat shut down a Wednesday contract negotiation meeting between the Kenai Peninsula Education Association, the Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association and the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. Negotiations will be recorded and posted to Facebook, and the dates and times of the meetings will not be disclosed for safety reasons, a Thursday Facebook post from the Kenai Peninsula Education Association said. — Victoria Petersen

Soldotna annexation vote postponed The vote was on a resolution to submit Soldotna’s annexation petition to the Local Boundary Commission. By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

The City of Soldotna postponed its efforts to annex about 4 square miles of land near its boundaries. The Soldotna City Council voted unanimously Thursday night to postpone a resolution to submit their

annexation petition to the Local Boundary Commission, the state entity created through the Alaska Constitution that grants authority to create and alter municipalities and their boundaries. City Manager Stephanie Queen said several possible amendments to the petition were brought to the

administration, and more time would be needed to implement any potential amendments. The resolution was also postponed to allow for a full council to vote, since council member Lisa Parker was absent from Thursday’s meeting. “I know there’s a lot of emotion in here, but we’re listening,” council member Tim Cashman told the audience. In June 2018, the Soldotna City Council passed a

resolution to start drafting a petition to annex seven areas adjacent to the city limits. Tyson Cox, a Soldotna City Council member who also owns property in an area slated for annexation, did not participate in Thursday’s council vote due to a conflict of interest. In the petition, the city said it’s hoping to annex nearby areas as a way to respond to growth and development and to more accurately align the city’s corporate

boundaries with the community that has developed since the city’s incorporation in 1960. Through annexation, Soldotna will have the opportunity to glean millions in tax revenue from additional businesses and residents. Soldotna said annexation could benefit residents by giving them a voice in city government and lowering property tax rates. Residents See Annex, Page A3

Harvest Moon food festival returns By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

“I would suggest to you to give serious consideration to the alternative that has been proposed, known as the Western Alternative,” Bookout said. “It seems to me that this proposed alternative can accomplish all objectives for stakeholders in the area while minimizing the impact — which is significant and permanent — to the residents of the Boulder Point area.” Bookout and most of the other Boulder Point residents who spoke Wednesday night referenced the Western Alternative, which is an alternative route for the pipeline laid out in the draft EIS that makes landfall just south of Boulder Point and then follows the proposed route to the liquefaction facilities. According to the draft EIS,

Local farming and food practices will be on full display this weekend at the Harvest Moon Local Food Festival in Soldotna. Slated for Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Soldotna Creek Park, the festival aims to showcase better methods of healthy eating that also inject a healthy boost to the local economy. According to Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District Manager Heidi Chay, the local agriculture industry is experiencing a boom. Chay referenced new statistics from the USDA Census of Agriculture showing that the sales of local foods on the Kenai Peninsula sold directly to consumers tripled from 2012 to 2017, rising from around $300,000 to $1 million in just a five-year span. Chay said several factors were at work to spur that rise, including the peninsula adopting high-tunnel technology at locales such as the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank over the past nine years. “The Kenai Peninsula was an early adopter of high-tunnel technology,” she said. “From small-scale gardening to

Nikiski resident Linda Huhndorf speaks to members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regarding the draft environmental impact statement for the Alaska LNG Project at the Nikiski Community Recreation Center on Wednesday.

‘Not a place to put a gas pipeline’ Some residents of the Boulder Point neighborhood in Nikiski express both support and concern over the route of the Alaska LNG Project. By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Nikiski residents had a chance Wednesday night to speak their mind regarding a potential natural gas pipeline that could end up in their backyard. During a public comment session at the Nikiski Community Recreation Center, over a dozen people voiced their support for the Alaska LNG Project, as well as their concerns about its impact on the community and the environment. The LNG project is a proposal to extract natural gas from the North Slope that will be transported 800 miles to a liquefaction facility

in Nikiski and exported internationally. The draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for the project was released in June of this year by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The release of the draft EIS included establishing a 90-day public comment period to allow the public to weigh in on the findings. Most of the people who spoke at the public meeting were residents of Boulder Point, a relatively remote neighborhood north of Nikiski. The currently proposed route for the pipeline as laid out in the draft EIS would travel through Boulder Point as it heads south to the liquefaction facility, but there are

two other alternative routes for the pipeline that are being considered. Debbie McKay of Boulder Point was primarily concerned with the impact that the pipeline would have on the wildlife in the area. “Disturbing this habitat will have a huge impact for generations to come, especially on the black bears … who, every fall, rely on the devil’s club in this area to fatten up for their winter hibernation,” McKay said. Bill Bookout, another Boulder Point resident, has property immediately adjacent to where the proposed pipeline would make landfall. Bookout said that while he and others in the neighborhood support responsible energy development, he is concerned that the impacts to the area are being minimized in the draft EIS.

Rain fails to ease drought on Kenai Peninsula Nanwalek and Seldovia have been suffering water shortages for weeks, due to unprecedented drought conditions. By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula still remains in a drought, despite continued rainfall. The northwest portion of the peninsula is in an extreme drought, while the remainder of the peninsula is in a severe drought, according to Thursday’s updated U.S. Drought Monitor map.

The U.S. Drought Monitor — produced in partnership with the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of NebraskaLincoln, 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. Since June 1 to date, rainfall has been at a near-record low in Southcentral Alaska, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor’s summary of their Thursday findings. “There has been little or no recovery in soil moisture, even at a 2-inch depth,” the summary said. The summary noted that several communities continue to go without fresh water sources, or their reserves are close to running out.

Inside ■■ The Swan Lake Fire slows significantly. Page A2 “The primary concern of the communities is whether they can fill their water storage before winter sets in next month,” the summary said. “Therefore, until a longer stretch of wet weather becomes established, no improvements were made.” Dan Nelson, the emergency manager with the borough’s Office of Emergency Management, has

been working closely with the communities of Nanwalek and Seldovia. Both communities are south of Homer and have been suffering water shortages for weeks, due to unprecedented drought conditions. Nelson reiterates the summary’s findings, saying heavy precipitation is needed to boost the communities’ water reserves. Seldovia’s water source is an open reservoir, feeding into a modern treatment See drought, Page A3

the Western Alternative would involve an additional 1.7 miles of pipeline in Critical beluga whale habitat in the Cook Inlet but would reduce the amount of pipeline on land by about 3.8 miles, affecting 69 fewer acres of devil’s club habitat. “We conclude that the West Alternative is feasible and would provide some advantages compared to the proposed route,” the draft EIS states. “However, it would not provide a significant environmental advantage over the proposed route.”

Comments on the LNG pipeline draft environmental impact statement can be filed using the eComment feature on www.ferc.gov. By mail reference the project number docket (CP17-178-000) and address submissions to Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington DC, 20426. Public comment period closes Oct. 3.

Residents of Boulder Point spoke on the impacts on the area that cannot be resolved through financial

compensation, such as fishing sites that would be made unusable by families and additional noise and traffic through the area as part of construction and operation. Linda Huhndorf of Boulder Point added another concern to the list related to the integrity of the pipeline itself: boulders. “Boulder point: it’s called that for a reason. There are lots of boulders out there, and that’s where the proposed line is going to go?” Huhndorf said. “Those boulders are not going to stay put, they move with the tide, and they’re going to impair and endanger any pipeline that’s out there … this is not a place to put a gas pipeline.”

Swan Lake Fire shows little growth By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

The Swan Lake Fire’s growth has slowed significantly as September continues to bring cooler temperatures and periodic rainfall to the Kenai Peninsula. The fire is currently at 163,714 acres and is 37% contained, according to the latest update from the Northern Rockies Incident Management Team. The cost of the fire has reached more than $43.4 million to date, according to the latest update of the National Interagency Coordination Center’s Incident Management Situation Report. On Wednesday, fire crews focused on suppressing hot spots along the southeastern portion of the fire near the Fuller Lakes Trail and Trout Lake, and a helicopter was used to help cool the areas of heat near Fuller Lakes. South of the Kenai River, crews continued to patrol and mop up where needed. On the southwest side of the fire, crews focused on cutting weakened trees and chipping brush along Skilak Lake Road. The road is partially opened from the western entrance to the Lower Skilak Boat Ramp, but motorists are urged to use caution when accessing the ramp from Skilak Lake Road. Public information

officer Nick Holloway said that hazards are present beyond the boat ramp access and the rest of the road remains closed and staffed. High winds are anticipated for Friday, with gusts potentially exceeding 25 mph. Fire behavior is expected to remain

low during this time, although the heavy fuels and ground duff layers will continue to hold heat. A temporary flight restriction (TFR) remains in effect over the Swan Lake airspace. The Kenai River remains closed beyond Jim’s Landing to Skilak Lake,

and the Lower Skilak campground and day use facility remains closed as well. All of the lands off the Lower Skilak boat access road, including Marsh Lake and day use facilities remain closed. All refuge lands that have been burned are closed to public access.

Mary Ann Wilson

Annex

December 2, 1938 - August 3, 2019 Mary Ann Wilson, 80, passed peacefully on Aug. 3, 2019 at Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna, AK. A celebration of her life will be 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Soldotna. Father Patrick Brosamer will officiate. A reception will follow the service in the church reception hall. Mary Ann was born Dec. 2, 1938 to George and Mary Anne Oberg. She grew up in St. Paul, Minn. with her brother Edward. She attended St. Agnes school and graduated in 1956. She then attended and graduated from College of St. Catherine -St. Joseph’s School of Nursing, St. Paul, Minnesota in 1959. After traveling and working in Minnesota, Colorado, California and Arizona, she journeyed with several nursing friends to Anchorage, Alaska in a Ford Falcon. They arrived after the 1964 earthquake and quickly found jobs at the Alaska Native Hospital and Providence Hospital. She married her husband, Van Wilson in 1967 and had many adventures including building a cabin in remote Willow, AK and exploring Alaska. After having two children, Mary Ann eventually moved to Soldotna, AK with her family and started working at Central Peninsula General Hospital as an obstetrics nurse. While working as a Registered Nurse, she obtained advanced certification in Neonatal and Obstetrics Nursing. She was also instrumental in training hospital staff in the emerging field of nursing documentation & electronic charting.

Billed as the peninsula’s biggest local food celebration of the year, the event is hosted by the Kenai Local Food Connection, a

volunteer-run organization that promotes local foods and healthy eating. The festival lands one day after the actual harvest moon (the full moon nearest to the September equinox). With a full schedule of live music, entertaining shows, free kid’s activities — such as making edible necklaces — a pie-baking contest, food demonstrations and a wild edible hike along the Tsalteshi Trails, Chay said the festival should feature plenty of things to do and learn about. The festival also arrives at the end of a particularly hot and dry summer, one that saw the Swan Lake Fire burn near communities of Sterling and Cooper Landing. Among the wildfire’s

Nelson said the only shortterm solution to the water shortages is to ship water into the communities. The borough has been looking into long-term solutions, but Nelson said that will require bringing in engineers and water experts who could assess long-term solutions for the communities, in case

they face similar conditions in the future. That assistance is likely to come from the state, he said. Mayor Charlie Pierce visited Seldovia Sept. 9, according to a post from the Kenai Peninsula Borough’s Facebook page. This fall, Nelson said the cities and the borough will be implementing drought conditions into their emergency operating plans. “We’ve never seen a drought like this before, so we’ll have to do some research,” Nelson said.

Unless the recommendation is denied, any changes will be approved 45 days after the initial presentation or at the end of the session, whichever comes first.

As her firstborn, I have to apologize for the rest of my family members that failed to notify family or community of her passing before now. Joann died September 24, of last year in the home built for her by her late husband, Russell, who passed earlier in 2003. Joann had gained an exceptional knowledge and love for Alaska over the years. Her previous decades long employment working for the ‘Milepost” and “Alaska” Magazine afforded her the opportunity to explore even the most remote parts of the state. That rich knowledge is what guided my parents decision to move to KPB more than 30 years ago. When dad passed, Joann continued to live alone, and my family is grateful to the entire KPB community for providing the “safety net” that made it possible for her to live, up until her last day, in her own home within the community she loved so much. Survived by her daughter Michelle, granddaughter Jennifer, and great-granddaughter Amberly, she is missed.

eat shapes our culture,” Eller said. “It shapes the town, shapes the people hugely. When we start to eat foods locally grown and produced by people who live here, our neighbors, we start to create community around food. We start to nourish our bodies more completely with more nutrients and delicious food.” One of the biggest draws of the festival is the nearly 50 food vendors who have grown, harvested or produced food in Alaska, including those that have

produced health products made from locally grown or harvested ingredients. Food trucks featuring local ingredients and educational booths really add to the purpose of the festival, Chay said. The event will also see the return of the popular fermentation station, which Chay said was a big hit last year. The fermentation station will have volunteers on hand to accept fresh produce that will be chopped, jarred and sealed for the consumer to take home and let ferment for a specified amount of time. “One of the goals is to have people walk away with the confidence to take home veggies and preserve them for the winter,” Chay said. “It’s kind of a live cooking show.”

Oilfield company denies assault of workers by toxic release Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — A Texas-based oilfield service company denies that it assaulted an Alaska construction crew by exposing workers to toxic chemical releases. Houston-based Baker Hughes on Thursday issued a statement saying it will fight state assault charges from an incident that occurred at a Kenai chemical plant five

years ago. “Baker Hughes is committed to safety, and operates its oil field services facility in Kenai in compliance with the law,” the company said in a statement. “We vigorously deny the claims made against us, and will exercise our right to present evidence that the allegations are without merit.” A state grand jury in Anchorage on Tuesday

indicted Baker Hughes oilfield service companies and a Baker Hughes manager on 25 counts, including 10 assault counts. Five workers with a construction crew said they were injured in a chemical release in 2014. The companies if convicted face up to $2.5 million in fines for the most serious charges, according to the Alaska Department of Law. A Baker Hughes manager,

John Clyde Willis, also was indicted and if convicted, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine. His Anchorage-based lawyer, Clint Campion, released a statement Thursday: “Clyde Willis adamantly denies that he has committed any crimes or harmed anyone. He has worked in the oil field services industry for 40 years and has worked in

Alaska for the past 13 years. Mr. Willis has no prior criminal record. He does not believe there is evidence to support the charges.” The workers said they were repeatedly exposed to toxic chemical releases from an existing chemical transfer facility as they constructed a new chemical transfer facility. The indictment claims that Baker Hughes, Baker Petrolite, Baker Hughes Oilfield Services, and Willis, “failed to provide safety information regarding the chemicals used on site and failed to respond to repeated

complaints by workers about the chemical exposures until May 8, 2014, when several workers were sent to the hospital because of a large exposure event.” The five workers have experienced prolonged serious physical injury including ataxia (a degenerative disease of the nervous system), memory loss, migraines, vertigo, respiratory issues, and tremors, the Department of Law said in its statement. The state sued the Baker Hughes companies and Willis in May in state court in Kenai.

Bolton was doomed as Trump adviser

he departure of John Bolton as national security adviser on Tuesday — President Trump said he fired him, and Mr. Bolton maintained that he quit — was logical and overdue. A rigid ideologue, Mr. Bolton has a long record of championing military action against U.S. adversaries, which Mr. Trump resists, and opposing negotiation with the likes of North Korea and Iran, which is the president’s natural instinct. He didn’t alter those views to suit Mr. Trump, and instead battled those who catered to the president’s wishes — most notably, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Mr. Trump was no doubt telling the truth, for once, when he tweeted, “I disagreed strongly with many of (Mr. Bolton’s) suggestions, as did others in the Administration.” Yet Mr. Bolton, who served in previous Republican administrations, can hardly be blamed for the falling-out. His ultra-hawkish views and habit of bureaucratic infighting were well known, even notorious, in Washington when Mr. Trump hired him in April of last year. But the president, in the hunt for his third national security adviser in just 15 months, simply disregarded the facts. Apparently Mr. Bolton was picked because Mr. Trump had enjoyed watching him on television. The result was to compound the chaos that has characterized the administration’s foreign policy and left Mr. Trump without meaningful accomplishments. Perversely, considering how out of sync he was with Mr. Trump’s priorities, Mr. Bolton managed to accomplish a fair amount — if mostly in a negative sense. Last week he helped persuade Mr. Trump to torpedo an agreement with the Afghan Taliban, painstakingly negotiated by the State Department over the course of nearly a year, just before it was to be signed. Earlier this year, he induced the president to set aside State’s work on a possible interim deal with North Korea on its nuclear program, and instead demand that dictator Kim Jong Un immediately commit to giving up all weapons of mass destruction. That helped to precipitate the collapse of the Trump-Kim summit in Hanoi and has led to a prolonged lapse in negotiations, during which North Korea has been testing new missiles. The national security adviser’s principal responsibility has traditionally been to oversee a disciplined policymaking process that includes the State Department, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, and to tee up big decisions for the president. Mr. Bolton didn’t do that. Instead, he sniped at initiatives undertaken by others, like the North Korea talks and Afghan negotiations, and pursued long-standing pet causes of his own — such as his pointless crusade against the International Criminal Court. He championed an attempted coup against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, which fell flat. This dysfunction was, of course, enabled and even encouraged by Mr. Trump, who has shown no interest in orderly process. During Mr. Bolton’s tenure, the president abruptly reversed course on bombing Iran, as well as making peace with the Taliban, and it has been impossible to keep track of his seesawing positions on China. “Sorry, it’s the way I negotiate,” he recently told reporters. Mr. Trump’s fourth national security adviser, if he can find one, will have to be a lot more pliable than Mr. Bolton. — The Washington Post, Sept. 10

US budget deficit for 11 months up $169B By Martin Crutsinger Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government’s budget deficit increased by $169 billion to $1.07 trillion in the first 11 months of this budget year as spending grew faster than tax collections. The Treasury Department reported Thursday that the deficit with just one month left in the budget year is up 18.8% over the same period a year ago. Budget experts project a surplus for September, which would push the total 2019 deficit down slightly below the $1 trillion mark. The Congressional Budget Office is forecasting a deficit this year of $960 billion, compared to a 2018 deficit of $779 billion. Going forward, the CBO sees the annual deficit topping $1 trillion in 2020 and never falling below $1 trillion over the next decade. The government has only recorded trillion-dollar-plus deficits in one other period, during the four years 2009

through 2012 when spending went up to deal with a deep recession and the worst financial crisis since the 1930s. The higher deficits currently reflect higher government spending, reflecting two budget agreements in 2018 and this year between the Trump administration and Congress that added billions of dollars in extra spending for the military and domestic programs. In addition, Social Security and Medicare payments are surging as millions of baby boomers retire. Added to the increased spending is the impact of the $1.5 trillion tax cut President Donald Trump pushed through Congress in 2017, reducing individual and corporate tax rates. For this year, revenues are up 3.4%, but spending is up by 7 percent, nearly double the increase in revenues. Individual tax revenues have risen by 2% in the first 11 months of this year compared to the same period in 2018 while corporate tax revenues are down 2%.

Alaska voices | Clem Tillion and Rick Halford

Fix the permanent fund dividend now

ecently the Anchorage Daily News printed an editorial column slamming Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s plan to pay the full PFD by law and calling for the Legislature to reject another special session. Soon after the ADN opinion was published, a column by former Deputy Commissioner Larry Persily advocated for ditching the historic dividend formula and adopting a new distribution formula in law that would allocate some funds for the PFD and use the balance for government spending. As long-time supporters of the permanent fund and the PFD, we know how important it is to protect the PFD. And we’re wary of any rush to spend the people’s savings on government. We’ve seen how the PFD is held hostage by politicians the past three years as part of the annual appropriation process. It’s time to pay the People’s PFD from the funds cut from dividends over the last four years. And we need a change in how we pay the PFD. The key issue here is how to pay Alaskans a PFD into the future in order to protect the permanent fund system and benefit all Alaskans. The permanent fund dividend has been a hot political topic the past four years. The dividend payment is now

an annual political topic that hinders debate on how to build a sustainable operating budget. It is time to decide the dividend issue with certainty, a task that requires a special session. A change to the PFD in law, with no vote of the People, will not accomplish the stability our state needs. We believe a special session addressing the dividend is critical to the financial well-being of our fund and rights of all residents, the Alaska resource shareholders. Every eligible Alaskan deserves a permanent fund dividend guaranteed by a formula embedded in our state’s Constitution. After all, the dividend is funded from mineral royalties the citizens voted to preserve in a trust account protected by the Constitution. The dividend is not a discretionary welfare check set at the whim of politicians. We urge the governor to work cooperatively with the House and the Senate to set an agenda for a productive special session. This includes passing a resolution for constitutional protection of a fair permanent fund dividend that the Alaska public will vote on next year. The two of us have different backgrounds. Clem, a commercial fisherman, still works on the water near his

home in Halibut Cove on Kachemak Bay. Rick, a commercial pilot, flies from his home in Eagle River to work and family residence he maintains near Dillingham. Each of us served in the Alaska Legislature for decades. We both worked to establish the permanent fund and care about this legacy for our children and future Alaskans. We also agree the single best thing our state can do to insure the longterm viability of permanent fund is establishing the link between the citizen owners of the fund by placing the permanent fund dividend formula in our Constitution. The need to act this year is clear. PFD issues require focused attention before the budget fights and gridlock resume in 2020. A stable and conservative formula for paying the annual PFD needs to be embedded in the Alaska Constitution. We call on all Alaskans to urge the Legislature and our governor to deal with these critical issues in a special session this year. Clem Tillion served in the Alaska House of Representatives and Senate. He is the chairman of the Permanent Fund Defenders. Rick Halford served in the Alaska House of Representatives and Senate. He is a board member of the Permanent Fund Defenders. (www.pfdak.com)

Stop policing women’s bodies

magine this news story: “Athlete is disqualified after race due to violation of the modesty rule. “The official commented, ‘I could see evidence of circumcision, and decided that outlining his genital area would incite lust and that must be punished.’” Ridiculous? Yes — because no one has ever, or would ever, say that to a male swimmer. However, this is essentially what was said to the Dimond High athlete this past weekend. Her body, curvier than the others, in the same uniform as the others, was judged, and she was punished for not immediately picking a wedgie. Some official saw the curve of cheek and instantly sexualized the athlete, and declared that all her hard work and dedication to a sport she loves is immaterial and invalid in the face of a half-moon. When — WHEN are we going to STOP sexualizing our female population? My child wasn’t much for modesty rules, preferring comfort over clothing from the time she was born until now. Aside from insisting she put SOMETHING on before we went in public, I let her grow in a sort of feral freedom that only enhanced her independence and confidence. It was no shock she chose swimming — where she wore mostly skin, most of the time. She grew up in locker rooms — swimming yearround, age 8-18 — and was ridiculed for her confidence that allowed her to change freely, not hiding behind a

towel, awkwardly attempting to shrink from view. They called her names, shamed her, demanded she cover up, instead of normalizing the thought that this is a shower, and one showers naked. Also, it is ridiculous to hide your skin in a roomful of skin. It is JUST SKIN. If it is more than that to you, perhaps your own motives for being in the changing room should be addressed? I stood by as she told me to let her handle it, a bristling angry mama bear, as she handled it with grace in the face of fire, saving tears for the privacy of her room where she thought I didn’t see, didn’t know — all the while proud of the strength of character and humanity my child exhibited. I am glad that the athlete

was given what she was due. I am sad that we have to have this conversation AGAIN. I challenge you — YES YOU — to stand up for our girls who are strong and determined and talented and yes, beautiful. Our bodies are not a distraction. We do not deserve less than you. We are not possessions to be owned, and the fact that we are STILL having this conversation in 2019 is disgusting and exhausting. I will not be silenced, nor will my daughters — OR sons — until you realize that the curve of a cheek, or the glimpse of a collarbone does not give you the right to anything. So stick that in your wedgie, and pick it. — Beth Ulricksen, Kenai

Dems’ debate gets fiery over health care costs By Bill Barrow and Steve Peoples Associated Press

HOUSTON — The three leading Democratic presidential candidates clashed over health care, immigration and President Barack Obama’s legacy on Thursday in a fierce debate that pitted an aggressive Joe Biden against liberal rivals Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. “This is America,” said Biden, his party’s early front-runner, before calling Sanders “a socialist.” He later declared, “I stand with Barack Obama all eight years, good bad and indifferent.” The top White House hopefuls faced off for the first time alongside seven other candidates who are under increasing pressure to break out of the pack. All assailed Trump without mercy. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker called Trump a racist. Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke called him a white supremacist. And Kamala

Harris, a California senator, said Trump’s hateful social media messages provided “the ammunition” for recent mass shootings. The Democrats primary contest has been remarkably stable, but the debate comes at a pivotal point in the campaign as more voters move past their summer vacations and begin to pay closer attention to politics. Polls show that a strong majority of all voters believe the country is headed in the wrong direction under the first-term president’s leadership. But nine months into their nomination fight, divided Democrats have yet to answer fundamental questions about who or what the party stands for beyond simply opposing Trump. The debate is shaped by evolving issues of race, gender, generation and ideology that again exploded into public view on the debate stage Thursday night. Obama himself emerged as a hot point as the discussion

Tough asylum rule is put into effect Associated Press

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — With a go-ahead from the Supreme Court, the Trump administration Thursday began enforcing a radical new rule denying asylum to most migrants arriving at the southern border — a move that spread despair among those fleeing poverty and violence in their homelands. A spokeswoman for the Homeland Security agency that manages asylum cases says the policy will be retroactive to July 16, when the initial rule was announced. The new policy would deny refuge to anyone at the U.S.Mexico border who passes through another country on the way to the U.S. without first seeking asylum there. Supreme Court cleared the way, for now, to enforce it while legal challenges move forward. Migrants who make their way to the U.S. overland from places like Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador would be largely ineligible, along

with asylum seekers from Africa, Asia and South America who try to get in by way of the U.S.-Mexican border. Asylum seekers must pass an initial screening called a “credible fear” interview, a hurdle that a majority clear. Under the new policy, they would fail the test unless they sought asylum in at least one country they traveled through and were denied. They would be placed in fast-track deportation proceedings and flown to their home countries at U.S. expense. “Our Supreme Court is sentencing people to death. There are no safeguards, no institutions to stop this cruelty,” the immigrationassistance group Al Otro Lado said in a statement. The Mexican government likewise called the high court’s action “astonishing.” The effects of the new policy could fall heavily on Mexico, leaving the country with tens of thousands of poor and desperate migrants with no hope of getting into the U.S.

Pompeo won’t take on Bolton’s duties WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he’s not going to be asking Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to take on the duties of former national security adviser John Bolton, who was ousted on Tuesday. Trump says 15 people want the now-vacant national security adviser position. Trump says it’s a “great job” because “it’s a lot of fun to work with Donald Trump.” Trump had said earlier that he was focusing on five candidates. He’s to make his pick next week.

Utah drilling rights sale sparks protests SALT LAKE CITY — The U.S. government has sold drilling rights to about 40 square miles of land near the Utah-Colorado border considered archaeologically sensitive to an energy firm. Environmentalists and tribal organizations are protesting a decision announced Wednesday to allow Ayres Energy LLC to develop land near Hovenweep National Monument. Environmentalists have said

drilling on the high desert would damage the prehistoric tribal structures and pollute the air. Ayres Energy LLC could not be reached for comment. The Bureau of Land Management sold oil and gas companies drilling rights to about 110 square miles of public land throughout the state, generating more than $1 million during its September lease sale.

Missouri 3-year-old shoots, kills himself JENNINGS, Mo. — Another shooting has claimed the life of a child in the St. Louis area, but police say they believe the child found the gun in a bedroom and shot himself. Police said the 3-year-old boy was home with his mother and father when he found an unsecured firearm in a bedroom of their apartment and accidentally discharged it, hitting himself. A statement from police says that the incident is being investigated as an accident. St. Louis city has been the site of 11 confirmed homicides involving children age 16 or younger this year, and St. Louis County has reported two child homicides. Two other child deaths in the city remain under investigation. — Associated Press

shifted to health care and immigration in particular. Sanders said Biden, Obama’s two-term vice president, bears responsibility for millions of Americans going bankrupt under the “Obamacare” health care system. Biden slapped back at both Sanders and Warren and contended they haven’t yet explained how they would pay for Sanders’ governmentbacked “Medicare for All” health care plan. Castro, who served as Obama’s housing chief, kept the pressure on the front-runner. The 44-year-old Texan appeared to touch on concerns about Biden’s age when he accused the former vice president of forgetting a detail about his own health care plan. At 76, Biden would be the oldest president ever elected to a first term. “Are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago?” Castro asked. “I can’t believe that you said two minutes ago that you have to buy in and now you’re forgetting that.”

He added: “I’m fulfilling the legacy of Barack Obama and you’re not.” The ABC News debate was the first limited to one night after several candidates dropped out and others failed to meet new qualification standards. A handful more candidates qualified for next month’s debate, which

will again be divided over two nights. The debate shifted to gun violence in a state shaken by a mass shooting last month that left 22 people dead and two dozen more wounded. In an emotional moment, O’Rourke said that there weren’t enough ambulances at times to take all the

wounded to the hospital. “Hell yes, we’re gonna take your AR-15, your AK-47,” he said, as the crowd cheered. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar noted that all the candidates on stage favor a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. She favors a voluntary buyback program on assault weapons, however. Meanwhile, Trump noted he’d be in Baltimore at a Republican retreat during the debate and wasn’t sure he’d get a chance to watch. But he predicted the Democratic nominee would ultimately be Biden, Warren or Sanders. “It’s going to be very interesting,” Trump said. “I’m going to have to watch it as a re-run.” The leading Democratic candidates may not have another chance to face off for quite some time. The Democratic field may be divided into two groups when they meet in October because more than 10 candidates qualified for the next round.

John Nels Anderson, MD February 28, 1946 - September 10, 2019

John Nels Anderson, MD, Mayor of Soldotna, and beloved Husband, Father, and Friend left us here on Earth after a hard-fought battle with health complications. Nels was born on February 28th, 1946 in Bangor, Northern Ireland to Wendell Anderson and Mabel Joyce Bleakley. The oldest of their 6 children, he spent the first few months of his life in Northern Ireland with his mother while on a waiting list with all the British War brides that were to be joining their American husbands via converted troop carriers. At 10 months old Nels finally arrived at his permanent childhood home in Logan, Utah. Services will be held on Monday, September 16th, 2019 at the Soldotna Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints located at 159 W Marydale in Soldotna. There will be a viewing Sunday evening (Sept 15th) from 6:30- 8 pm at The Church and Monday from 2:30- 3:45 pm. Funeral Service beginning at 4:00 pm. Interment to follow at Soldotna Memorial Park. There will be a Community gathering in Nels honor held at the Soldotna Sports Center from 6:30- 9:00 pm. All who would like to pay respects are encouraged to attend. As a child, “Johnny” Nels enjoyed playing sports of all kinds with a special affinity for basketball and baseball. He could often be found on top of a tree with his radio in hand, listening to the Brooklyn Dodgers play. One early claim to fame was having his arm broken by boyhood friend, and future NFL Hall of Famer, Merlin Olsen, while playing pickup football in the park that now bears Merlin’s name. Nels began his lifelong affiliation with the Boy Scouts at a young age. His mother, Joyce, started one of the first Cub Scout Pack in Cache Valley and Nels was a member of it. He would later go on to become one of the first Eagle Scouts to come out of that troop. Along with Scouting, another pastime that Nels developed in his youth was a genuine love and respect for the outdoors, and a passion for hunting and fishing. Nels graduated from Logan High School in 1963. He started his undergraduate work at Utah State University that Fall. Where he met Carla, his wife of 54 years, in class their freshman year. They married in Twin Falls, ID on February 15th, 1965. Shortly after, they relocated to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to continue their undergraduate studies. While in Saskatoon, Nels earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Biochemistry from the University of Saskatchewan. During this time Nels began his life of public service, serving as the Graduate Student Representative on the Student Council. Nels graduated from Medical school from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, UT in 1976. He joined the United States Air Force in 1973, while in medical school. He was assigned to Andrew’s Air Force Base in Maryland, upon graduation. While at Andrews Air Force Base, Nels completed his Residency in Family Practice at Malcolm Grow Medical Center and went on to complete a Fellowship in Complicated Obstetrics and Infertility. Nels was ecstatic when he was reassigned to Elmendorf AFB in Alaska where he could practice medicine and pursue his love of hunting and fishing. Nels, Carla, and family made the move to Elmendorf AFB in 1980. In the spring of 1981, Nels had the rare opportunity to travel to England and study directly with Steptoe and Edwards, the infertility specialists behind the first successful test tube baby. Nels knew immediately this was to be his calling in life. Nels and Carla had decided they wanted to make Alaska their forever home. Upon discharge from the Airforce in 1983, they moved to Soldotna, and have called the Peninsula home ever since. During his 36 years in Soldotna, Nels made his mark on his community in many ways. Family Physician, IVF Specialist, Public Servant, Boy Scout Leader, Church Leader, Dog Musher, and Gardener are a few of the many titles by which he is known. As a Family Physician, Nels always put his patients as his top priority. Obstetrics was his favorite part of family medicine, and he was the only IVF doctor doing test tube babies in the State of Alaska. Over the course of his career, Nels delivered over 5,000 babies, over 300 of them test tube babies. Bringing those little miracles to those families is the true legacy he leaves behind. Nels held various titles medically throughout his carrier. He was the Chief of Staff at the Central Peninsula General Hospital two separate times and served as the President of the Alaskan chapter of the American Cancer Society. Nels was awarded as the Alaskan Family Physician of the Year in 1999. Nels lived by an ideology that it is our obligation to take care of one another. He deeply believed that service to others was service to God -especially, public service. Nels took a seat on the Kenai Peninsula School Board and served the students of the community for 16 years, serving as the President for many of those years. Nels was elected to serve on the Soldotna City Council from 2009- 2012 where he was instrumental in the creation of the Soldotna Community Memorial Park, Soldotna’s first cemetery. In 2014 Nels began his first term as Soldotna City Mayor. He would serve until he left for his Mission in West Africa in 2016. Nels served a second term as Mayor upon his return in 2017, which he held until his death. Throughout Nels entire life he remained active in the Boy Scouts. Nels held numerous titles including: Scout Master, Troop Committee Chair, District Committee Chair, and Advancement Chair. Nels loved sharing his love and passion for scouting with those around him. He helped countless young men achieve merit badges, led them on high adventure outings, and guided many of them to earning their own Eagle Scout awards, including 4 of his sons and 5 grandsons. Nels was awarded the Silver Beaver, the highest honor given by a Boy Scout Council, a token of his lifelong dedication. Nels was an active and devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many capacities during his lifetime. From teaching Sunday School to serving as the Bishop, he treated every calling with the same amount of respect and vigor. Those that knew Nels best will remember him for a few of his passions outside of his service. He was an avid gardener and grew and cross-pollinated gladiolas all around town- a tribute to his Father. He enjoyed Dutch Oven cooking with his wife. They started the Alaska chapter of the International Dutch Oven Society, and sponsored the first competitions held at Soldot na Days, and The Alaska State Fair. He even competed at the World Dutch Oven Cookoff in Utah. Upon his move to Alaska, Nels wanted to embrace all things Alaska, including taking up the sport of Dog Mushing after being asked to sponsor a local musher. Like everything else in Nels’ life, he didn’t do anything halfway. A mere 5 months after his first-time mushing, he ran and completed his first Iditarod race in 1987. He would go on to run the race two more times in 1991 and 1992. After his racing days had passed, he continued to support the local mushing community, and was given the honor of being the Race Marshal for the Tustamena 200. Nels also owner a commercial set net fishing site, that his sons worked diligently to pay their way through college. Last but not least it issq important to note that Nels bled Dodger blue and has convinced all of his children they do too. Some of his fondest memories were of cheering on his Dodgers. He attended World Series games in LA in both 2017 and 2018, including cheering on the Dodgers to win the longest game in World Series history. Nels will be remembered for his love for his fellowman, giving service above all, and truly exemplifying a statement you often heard him telling his scouts, “Character is what you do when nobody is watching.” He was the true leader of his family and led by example to his 7 Children, 19 Grandchildren and 18 Great Grandchildren. Nels is survived by his Wife Carla, 5 sons, Hubert (Elaine Jones) Salt Lake City, UT: Jeremy (Laura Sozio) Hermiston, OR: Matt (Valerie Popper) Kansas City, MO: Nate (Allison Bingham) Anchorage, AK: Deryk (Julia Sullivan) Palmer, AK.

Bahamas tackles massive cleanup after Dorian About 2,500 people are still listed as missing in the hurricane’s aftermath. By Danica Coto Associated Press

HIGH ROCK, Bahamas — Pastor Jeremiah Saunders stood in the golden afternoon sun and barely blinked as he debated what to pick out from the ruins of the church he built 22 years ago in the seaside village of High Rock on the eastern end of Grand Bahama island. A black-and-blue necktie floated in a pool of water. Nearby, a ruptured set of drums lay toppled on its side. Bone-white sea shells were nestled in tufts of grass, flung there by the surging floodwaters that had carried Saunders for 200 yards until he managed to grab hold of a large pine tree branch, where he spent two days after Hurricane Dorian crashed ashore. “I spoke to the water: ‘Peace, be still.’ It never listened,” he said with a wide smile. But then he grew serious as he focused on the daunting cleanup facing the tens of thousands who live on Grand Bahama and Abaco, the two northern islands that

were devastated by the Category 5 storm. It will be a slow process that some are tackling in very small steps. Saunders picked out two hammers, five screwdrivers and three treasured Bibles. A preliminary report estimates Dorian caused some $7 billion in damage, but the government has not yet offered any figures. Crews have started to remove some debris on the islands, but they are moving slowly to avoid accidentally disturbing any bodies lying in the rubble. The official death toll stands at 50, and Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said he expects the number to significantly increase. About 2,500 people are listed as missing in the hurricane’s aftermath, although the government has cautioned that it still needs to check names against the rosters of people evacuated from the devastated islands or staying in shelters. On Thursday, a cluster of heavy thunderstorms heading to the Bahamas threatened to further drench those

trying to salvage belongings or living in tents in hard-hit communities. Late in the day, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said the system was expected to become a tropical storm within 36 hours and would hit parts of the northwestern Bahamas with tropical storm-force winds and heavy rains.

UN eases Africa arms embargo By Edith M. Lederer Associated Press

The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Thursday to ease the arms embargo on the Central African Republic’s government following its signing of a peace agreement with 14 armed groups in February and progress in reforming its security sector. The French-drafted resolution acknowledges “the urgent need for the CAR authorities to train and equip their defence and security forces to be able to respond proportionately to threats to the security of all citizens.” Central African Republic has been wracked by interreligious and intercommunal fighting since 2013, but council members cited positive developments since the peace agreement was signed. In January, the Security Council voted unanimously to extend the arms embargo

for a year but said it would review the measures in light of government progress toward achieving key U.N. benchmarks by Sept. 30. The new resolution allows the country’s security forces to be supplied with weapons with a calibre of 14.5 mm or less, and ammunition for them, with at least 20 days advance notification and specific requirements including that they not be transferred or sold. France’s U.N. ambassador, Nicolas de Riviere, welcomed the vote, saying easing the arms embargo “is based on the progress made by the Central African authorities” and is “a strong response” to an appeal from the government. He said the resolution’s approval will not only equip security and defence forces, but “is also an encouragement to the Central African authorities” to continue

implementing security sector reforms. Ivory Coast Ambassador Kacou Adom, speaking on behalf of South Africa and Equatorial Guinea as well, said the resolution will allow the government “to effectively protect its people and defend its territorial integrity, which for so long has been jeopardized by the increasing level of attacks from armed groups.” New U.S. Ambassador Kelly Craft, in her first appearance at the council after presenting her credentials earlier in the day, urged the region to end arms trafficking “that undermines the Central African Republic’s national security.” She said the U.S. will continue its bilateral support to help Central African Republic authorities achieve the U.N. benchmarks and will work with others to support implementation of the Feb. 6 peace agreement.

ahead of the storm. As the cleanup continued, the first hints of normalcy could be seen in Freeport, a city on Grand Bahama that is operated by a private company, which provides utilities and charges residents without any government involvement. Lights began to flicker on in some neighborhoods, and crews were seen repairing transformers in other areas.

But the small villages that dot the eastern coast of Grand Bahama have barely received any help. Some residents have been hitchhiking daily from Freeport to their destroyed homes to sort through their belongings and clean up. Tereha Davis, a 45-yearold fisherwoman, said she was unable to find a ride one day and ended up walking eight miles under the

blistering sun. She piled up the things she managed to salvage until she could find a ride back to Freeport with her few remaining possessions. On Wednesday, she walked through McLean’s Town wearing purple surgical gloves, taking a break from cleaning as she looked for something sweet to drink for a boost of energy. She found nothing. She and others said they had not seen any government officials and have only received food and water from nonprofit groups. The prime minister acknowledged the difficult situation in a televised address late Wednesday. “There have been problems in the coordination of this aid due to the magnitude of this devastation,” Minnis said, adding that he understands the deep frustration of those dealing with “bureaucratic roadblocks” and pledged to reduce the red tape and bring in more aid and extra personnel. “There are no words sufficient to describe this tragedy,” Minnis said. “No Bahamian has ever seen anything like this in their lifetime.”

US judge denies bail to ex-Peru president By Olga R. Rodriguez Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — A U.S. judge in San Francisco denied bail to former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo in a hearing Thursday that ended with an emotional outburst by his wife, who had to be dragged out of the courtroom after she started shouting at prosecutors. Magistrate Judge Thomas S. Hixson denied bail for the second time to Toledo, 73, who is wanted in his native country in a corruption scandal. “Dr. Toledo has not carried the burden of proof to show he is not a risk of flight, and so I’ll maintain the detention order,” Hixson said. Shortly after, Toledo’s wife, Eliane Karp, began cursing and shouting at prosecutors, saying they will be “personally responsible for his death,” and was dragged by

guards out of the courtroom. “It’s the life of a man, goddam it! You’re killing him!” Karp, 65, shouted. Three days after Toledo’s July 16 arrest on an extradition request at his Menlo Park home, Hixson ordered him held in custody, reasoning that if he fled it “would be a diplomatically significant failure of the United States to live up to its treaty obligations to Peru.” Toledo has been held in solitary confinement at Santa Rita Jail in Alameda County since his arrest. His attorney, Graham Archer, argued for the former president to be released on bail and put on house arrest, saying Toledo’s mental health is deteriorating. “It’s a shame he has been in there for two months,” Archer said. “The idea that as a country we would present ourselves to the outside world as holding a

non-violent, former head of state in solitary confinement during an extradition preceding, I think, that would be diplomatically unacceptable.” Archer said Toledo was aware of the attempt to extradite him since early 2017 and had not tried to flee California, where he lived as a permanent legal resident and where he has a group of longtime friends, including Stanford University professors, who are willing to put up cash and homes to pay a $1 million bail. Federal prosecutor Elise LaPunzina said the bond plan presented by his defence, paid by friends, “is not adequate at all.” “We do take issue as to his assets. There are millions of dollars that are unaccounted for,” LaPunzina said. Archer, Toledo’s attorney in the extradition case, is a public federal defender.

Fed, ECB aim to bolster economies Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank are struggling mightily to invigorate their economies at a time when growth is slowing, governments remain on the sidelines and the banks’ usual stimulative tools appear less effective than in the past. On Thursday, the ECB

delivered a blast of monetary stimulus to try to rescue Europe’s teetering economy in the face of sputtering growth and uncertainties caused by the U.S.-China trade conflict and Britain’s expected exit from the European Union. The Fed is set to follow with its own stimulative move next week — its second modest interest-rate cut of the year. Other central banks are

lowering rates to try to counter damage from weakening economies and global trade conflicts. Their efforts will throw a spotlight on a growing debate: Just how effective can these actions be when interest rates are already ultra-low — in Europe’s case negative — and many businesses and households are reluctant to borrow for reasons unrelated to interest rates?

Pastor Jarrid Wilson, suicide outreach group founder, dies Associated Press

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Jarrid Wilson, a Southern California pastor who with his wife founded the outreach group “Anthem of Hope” to help people coping with depression and suicidal thoughts, took his own life, a church official said. The 30-year-old Wilson, an associate pastor at the megachurch Harvest Christian Fellowship died by suicide on Monday, said Greg Laurie, senior pastor of the church. “At a time like this, there are just no words,” Laurie wrote on his blog on Tuesday. “The Bible says, ‘There is a time to mourn.’ This is certainly that time.” Wilson is survived by his wife, Juli, two young sons and other family members. The church was founded in Riverside in 1973 and now has 15,000 people with

campuses in Southern California and Hawaii that host large-scale evangelistic events. Wilson had spoken openly about his struggle with depression and his desire to help others. The outreach group founded in 2016 sought to end the stigma of mental illness and connect people to resources including a 24-hour crisis line. Laurie said Wilson’s death is a reminder that spiritual leaders also struggle. “Sometimes people may think that as pastors or spiritual leaders we are somehow above the pain and struggles of everyday people,” Laurie wrote. “We are the ones who are supposed to have all the answers. But we do not.” He urged anyone in need to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.

Pope calls U.S. critics’ ideology ‘rigid’ By Nicole Winfield Associated Press

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE — Pope Francis said Tuesday he wasn’t afraid of a U.S. Catholic Church schism led by his conservative critics, but sees a “rigid” ideology opponents use to mask their own moral failings has already infiltrated the American church. Francis said during an airborne news conference that he prays a schism in the U.S. Catholic Church doesn’t happen. He nevertheless doubled down on confronting outspoken conservatives in the U.S. and beyond who oppose his outreach to gay and divorced people and his concern for the poor and the environment. Francis said he welcomed “loyal” criticism that leads to introspection and dialogue. Such “constructive” criticism shows a love for the church, he said. But the ideologically driven critics don’t really

want a response but merely to “throw stones and then hide their hand.” “I’m not afraid of schisms,” Francis told reporters while the papal plane was flying back from his trip to Africa. “I pray that there aren’t any because the spiritual health of so many people is at stake. “Let there be dialogue, correction if there is some error. But the path of the schismatic is not Christian,” he added. Francis’ comments are likely to inflame a heated debate roiling the Catholic Church in the United States and elsewhere. The pope’s mercy-over-morals emphasis irks some doctrine-minded Catholics who came of age during the conservative papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI. During his flight to Africa last week, a French journalist presented Francis with a book about the pope’s conservative critics in the U.S. Francis acknowledged

his right-wing opponents and said, “For me, it’s an honor if the Americans attack me.” The book, “How America Wants to Change the Pope,” documents the growing criticism of Francis by a small wing of U.S. Catholics who question many of his positions. Some have gone so far as to accuse Francis of heresy and warned of the risk of schism, or a formal separation from the Holy See. Francis’ allies, including German Cardinal Walter Kaper and the head of Francis’ Jesuit order, have said the conservative criticism amounts to a “plot” to force the first Jesuit pope to resign so a conservative would take his place. Asked about the criticism and risk of schism, Francis insisted his social teachings were identical to those of St. John Paul II, the standard-bearer for many conservative Catholics. And he noted that church history is full of schisms,

most recently after the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s church meetings that modernized the church. A group of traditionalist Catholics led by French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre rejected the reforms and grew into what Francis said was the “most well-known” of recent church schisms. “I pray there are no schisms, but I’m not afraid of them,” he said. Francis said all schismatics share a common trait: They allow ideology to become “detached” from Catholic doctrine and distance themselves from the faith of ordinary Catholics. “When doctrine slips into ideology, there’s the possibility of schism,” he warned. He lamented that many bishops and priests were already engaged in a “pseudo-schism” but said ideas won’t survive. He claimed doctrinal rigidity, or “moral asceticism,” masked their own personal problems.

Bears forward Schachle commits to UAA By Jeff Helminiak Peninsula Clarion

Kenai River Brown Bears forward Porter Schachle announced his commitment to Division I University of Alaska-Anchorage on Wednesday. Schachle, 18, is entering his second season with the Brown Bears. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Wasilla High School product played in 23 games for the Brown Bears last season before his season was cut short due to injury. He had seven assists and three goals. “I’m proud and excited to announce my commitment to further my education and to play hockey for the University of Alaska Anchorage. I’d like to thank my family, teammates, and coaches who have supported me along the

way #goseawolves,” Schachle wrote on Twitter. Schachle’s brother, Tanner, who also played for the Brown Bears, will be a sophomore forward for the Seawolves this season. “I think it’s a good fit for everybody all the way around,” said Brown Bears head coach Kevin Murdock after the first player on this season’s roster got a Division I commitment. “Porter will fit in well there. He can stay close to home and play with his brother. “It’s a no-brainer that a kid like that would take advantage of the opportunity they were able to afford him.” Including this season, Schachle has two seasons of junior eligibility remaining. Murdock was not sure See uaa, Page A10

SoHi, Kenai set for home openers By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

Heading into last weekend’s Friday night showdown in sunny San Diego, Soldotna Stars football coach Galen Brantley Jr. warned about the tough matchup facing SoHi. The Stars were staring at a 10-time Eastern League champion of the San Diego City Conference, the Christian High School Patriots, and while SoHi flaunts the last seven Alaska Division II football state titles, the matchup appeared lopsided. Brantley Jr. called it a David vs. Goliath moment, the “San Diego version of us,” a team that the Stars would have to break out every play in the book to have a shot of beating. Well, not only did the Stars pummel the Patriots to the tune of a 42-7 blowout, they did it using their typical ground-and-pound style of running attack, keeping Christian off kilter with their misdirection madness. It only continued to build on SoHi’s legacy as one of, if not the, best football program in Alaska, despite their Div. II ranking. “It’s one of those things where everything lined up for us,” Brantley Jr. explained on Wednesday. “I think they got hit by graduation, then they had some transfers, and that compounded with the fact our kids showed up and played extremely well.” As far as the method that SoHi employed to wear them down, the “pound the rock” philosophy that has helped the Stars win 71 of their last 72 games, Brantley Jr. said the teams of California might have simply been out of their element. “We’re a little foreign to them,” he said. “They’re a team that defends the spread every weekend, and then we show up and play our brand of football. We’re just different. “We run an offense from the 1940s, and they see the same exact thing every weekend, and we roll into town with a physical running game.” After eight days on the road, the Stars are back to playing Alaska competition, where they will open their home season that should’ve began two weeks ago with South Anchorage before wildfires forced a change in plans.

Lathrop (2-2) at Soldotna (3-0), 6 p.m. Friday Friday night is not only Soldotna’s 2019 home opener but also homecoming weekend. It’s also a matchup between the top-two ranked Division II teams in the weekly Alaska Football Coaches poll, and Brantley Jr. again warned of a dangerous team. “We’re coming off a game where we exceeded expectations, and we’re running into the No. 2 team in the (Division II) state,” he said. “It’s a trap game.” The Stars picked off the Malamutes 50-21 last year en route to a 9-1 season and a seventh straight championship. Lathrop challenged Soldotna early in that game with a second-quarter lead, but it didn’t last long as SoHi pulled away for the win. Still, tallying 21 points against a staunch SoHi defense? The Malemutes can carry their weight. “There’s probably 600 pounds on the right side of their (offensive) line, their quarterback is 6-foot-4, (240) pounds, he’s a running QB, so we kind of feel like we’re running into a team that plays like we do,” Brantley Jr. said. Senior QB Jace Henry has shown ability to tear up defenses this year, leading Lathrop to wins over Eagle

River and North Pole, and Brantley Jr. has been one of the many to take notice. “Jace Henry’s one of the best athletes in the state on any level,” he said. “You get anyone that gets a head of speed running downhill, and he’s running guys over on the way to the end zone.” SoHi QB Jersey Truesdell also ran rampant in the win over Lathrop last year, racking up a teamhigh 134 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

West Valley (0-3) at Kenai (1-2), 2 p.m. Saturday The winless Wolfpack will attempt to get off the schneid Saturday afternoon at Kenai’s Ed Hollier Field, but the Kardinals will have their starting QB back after two weeks away. Kenai senior Kayden Daniels returns under center for the Kards after missing two games due to disciplinary reasons stemming from the team’s trip to Juneau on Aug. 31. The Kards went 0-2 with backup QB’s Isaiah Daniels and Bridger Beck taking the starts. With Daniels back in the fold, Kenai head coach Dustin Akana is optimistic of getting back to the win column. “For one, he’s a leader on

offense,” Akana said. “He’s been playing quarterback since he was a freshman and the boys respond to having their leader back on offense. The boys are positive.” Akana also said the experience that Beck, a freshman, and Daniels, a sophomore, got at the varsity level the last two weeks has been invaluable. “It helps us work on some things, and (Beck) is our future,” Akana said. “I think him learning from Kayden, playing in varsity games his freshman year, is all positive.” Without the senior Daniels, Akana said Kenai struggled to develop a rhythm last week in a loss to 31-6 North Pole, a game that saw the Patriots snap a 12-game losing streak dating to Sept. 2017. Akana said the team rebounded this week in practice. “It’s just repetition,” he said. “I told the boys, learn from our mistakes, get back to practice, and the more reps, the better.” Last year, Kenai dropped a 44-6 dud to West Valley on the road. Saturday will be Kenai’s home opener, which was scheduled to be Aug. 24 against Lathrop but was canceled due to the Swan Lake Fire. Akana said the Kards will need See prep, Page A9

or the two years I’ve lived in Homer, I’ve managed just two trips across Kachemak Bay that haven’t been work related. If I keep up this pace, I’ll have a nice outdoor excursion to look forward to each year. My first hiking trip across Mother Kachemak was the iconic Grewingk Glacier Lake hike, which made a strong impression on me and sewed the seeds for future adventuring. More recently, I spent three days in the Tutka Bay area with a group of friends in August, camping a mile inland at Tutka Lake and exploring the surrounding areas that are the very beginnings of the Tutka Backdoor Trail. Packing all our essentials as well as some nonessentials (my friend Kirby seemed to have an endless supply of fruit roll-ups), we loaded into a boat and started off for an area of Kachemak Bay none of us had explored before. The nice thing about many of the recreation areas across the bay is that they are void of cellphone reception. Without the technological ties that generally keep us rooted in society (thought not necessarily reality), we weren’t able to give all our friends back home a serious case of FOMO (fear of missing out, which this author had to Google about two weeks ago) by posting updates of our adventure to Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and the like. We had to feed ourselves before we “fed the ‘gram.” Our stories weren’t uploaded to some platform for a fleeting 24 hours, but were spoken into the darkness while light from the campfire danced across our faces. In essence, we literally just had to enjoy each other’s company and our surroundings. Isn’t it insane how rare that experience can be these days? How far we have to travel by plane or train or water taxi to reach a corner of the earth that isn’t permeated by access and connectivity? And you know what? I think we did a pretty good job of losing and finding ourselves in the wilds of Tutka Bay. We picked blueberries till our skin was stained. We sang songs from our childhood to forget the weight of the packs digging into our shoulders. We took the paths less traveled and wrong turns and we marveled at all of it. I can’t speak for the rest, but I even appreciated the time we spent traipsing through the flats of Tutka Bay Lagoon near the hatchery, dodging dead and decaying, pungent fish. Like a sick, highstakes game of hopscotch. It was a nice exercise for me personally in that my main tool for capturing our camping trip was my camera. Though phones are easier to carry and much simpler to wield in the wild, I tried my best to leave it at camp or in my pack See OFFICE, Page A10

The Swan Lake Fire and wildlife

his summer brought one of the hottest and driest summers ever recorded on the Kenai. Large areas dominated by black spruce, hot temperatures, and dry forests created perfect conditions for large-scale wildfires. With the recent Swan Lake fire burning over 163,000 acres and counting, a lot of people are asking, “What is happening to the wildlife?” Wildfires can obviously be bad for some wildlife species, particularly those that cannot outrun the fire and smoke and take direct losses. Immediate loss of habitats also has some obvious negative

effects that are often seen for many years. What isn’t clear as we drive down the Sterling Highway and look at the burn is that large unburned areas, which serve as refuges for wildlife, still remain. Fires that burn a mosaic pattern across the landscape are generally favorable because they create a variety of habitats for all wildlife. I recently flew over much of the burn area and the fire appears to have burned in a mosaic pattern

in many areas, which should stimulate regeneration and increase habitat variation across the landscape. Even from the air, signs of new regeneration are already clearly evident in areas that burned earlier this summer. Moose have already moved back into many of these areas to take advantage of the new growth. Fire management on refuge lands is largely focused on promoting a natural fire regime to the extent possible. In ecosystems where wildfires naturally occur, periodic fires are an essential See refuge, Page A10

when UAA planned on taking Schachle. Murdock said Schachle has a lot of potential, and that’s why UAA snapped him up before the North American Hockey League Showcase starts in less than a week. “The fact that he’s so big, and he’s still filling out and getting strong,” Murdock said. “He skates really well for a big guy, and he thinks the game fairly well. There’s a lot of upside to his big frame.” Murdock said Schachle was only starting to figure out the junior game when he was hurt last season, so he expects more out of him this season.

Baffert blames contaminated food By Steven Whyno AP Sports Writer

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert denied giving 2018 Triple Crown winning horse Justify a banned substance that caused a positive test prior to last year’s Kentucky Derby and blamed the result on contaminated food. Baffert said Thursday that he “unequivocally” rejects the implication he’d give Justify or any other horse scopolamine, which the colt tested positive for after winning the Santa

Anita Derby in April 2018. The New York Times reported Justify tested positive for the substance and that the California Horse Racing Board did not adequately investigate the matter. Justify was allowed to continue racing and won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes to become the 13th Triple Crown winner in history. “Damn shame this great horse, connections and me have to be put through all this,” Baffert said in a text

message to The Associated Press. “It was obvious environmental contamination. It’s been a known problem in California.” California Horse Racing Board equine medical director Rick Arthur told the AP that the amount of scopolamine in Justify’s blood was

“minuscule” and that he recommended based on his findings that the case not be prosecuted. Scopolamine, also known as hyoscine, can be used to treat motion sickness in humans and in limited equine cases can relieve intestinal spasms, though it can be toxic to horses.

Buccaneers beat Panthers with goal-line stand CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — When Cam Newton left the shotgun and began creeping toward the line of scrimmage, Buccaneers cornerback Vernon Hargreaves knew exactly what was coming. The Bucs sniffed out a fourthand-1 play from the 2-yard line with Hargreaves shoving Christian McCaffrey out of bounds with 1:22 left to perverse a 20-14 win over the Carolina Panthers and cap off a terrific defensive performance on Thursday night. Jameis Winston threw for 208 yards and a touchdown, Chris Godwin had 121 yards receiving and a score and Peyton Barber ran for 82 yards, but it was the Bucs defense that won this game. Tampa Bay held the Panthers without a touchdown and limited McCaffrey to 53 total yards to give coach

and instead create a visual story of our time together in Tutka Bay with my more traditional lens. One moment from the trip that stands out to me as both a time I wish I’d had a camera in my hands and a moment I’m glad I didn’t came on our first morning, after having (finally) found our campsite and settling in. I was the first one up, and though the morning air and bird song echoing across the lake was as diverting as it could be, I had only one thing on my mind: the coffee and French press I knew were tucked away in

Bruce Arians his first victory with the team. The goal-line stand, particularly the fourth down play, was just the icing on the cake. As Newton cleared out of the way, McCaffrey took the direct snap from center, faked a reverse to Curtis Samuel and raced around left end but couldn’t find the edge. He tried to extend the ball, but didn’t pick up the first down as Hargreaves rode him out of bounds. “You watch any football and you’ve seen it a few times,” Hargreaves said of the play. “Once I saw Cam walk up to the line of scrimmage and act like he was talking to me I had a pretty good idea what was going on.” It would be hard to imagine the Panthers taking the ball out of their 6-foot-5, 245-pound quarterback’s

the food bag tied up a tree several hundred feet away. As you read the words “French press” you might be thinking, “Ah, yes — one of the nonessential items she talked about earlier.” In fact, no. I had warned all my friends prior to the trip that I would be needing a daily dose of caffeine if I were expected to survive. With the earthy and bitter aroma of that morning’s coffee already in my mind, I went to retrieve the food bag from its perch as quietly as possible, so as not to wake my companions. Looking back, that’s probably where I went wrong. Digging into the bag with little ceremony and some desperation, I unearthed the coffee and a mug. I set

hands in the past. Even Hargreaves said a few years ago, Newton “definitely, 100 percent” would have tried to run and score. But this is a different time for the ninth-year quarterback. Although he has more TDs rushing than any other QB in the league, he has just minus-2 yards on five carries this season with two fumbles . “He can’t take them hits like that,” Hargreaves said. “It’s going to eat his body up. So not really. We expected more throwing as he is getting older in his career.” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said there is nothing wrong with Newton’s shoulder or foot that prevented him from running the ball. He believed the Panthers had the right play called. “Unfortunately, it didn’t work,” Rivera said. “That’s all I can tell. We

everything up and started a fire in the small pit we had made on the shore of Tutka Lake. Then, I took a small metal pot and walked back away from our campsite to a spot where one could access the lake water a little more easily. Carrying the pot back to the fire, water sloshing over the edges, I heard a crackling noise like the kind that’s made when twigs or branches snap. Looking up, I saw we were not alone on our little haven by the lake. A large black bear had apparently not heard me struggling to get a heavy food bag out of the trees and across a small creek, and had wandered into our camp to munch on some of the blueberries growing

Today in History Today is Friday, Sept. 13, the 256th day of 2019. There are 109 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 13, 2001, two days after the 9/11 terror attacks, the first few jetliners returned to the nation’s skies, but several major airports remained closed and others opened only briefly. President George W. Bush visited injured Pentagon workers and said he would carry the nation’s prayers to New York. On this date: In 1788, the Congress of the Confederation authorized the first national election, and declared New York City the temporary national capital. In 1814, during the War of 1812, British naval forces began bombarding Fort McHenry in Baltimore but were driven back by American defenders in a battle that lasted until the following morning. In 1860, General of the Armies of the United States John J. Pershing was born in Laclede, Mo. In 1948, Republican Margaret Chase Smith of Maine was elected to the U.S. Senate; she became the first woman to serve in both houses of Congress. In 1962, Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett rejected the U.S. Supreme Court’s order for the University of Mississippi to admit James Meredith, a black student, declaring in a televised address, “We will not drink from the cup of genocide.” In 1971, a four-day inmates’ rebellion at the Attica Correctional Facility in western New York ended as police and guards stormed the prison; the ordeal and final assault claimed the lives of 32 inmates and 11 hostages. In 1993, at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat shook hands after signing an accord granting limited Palestinian autonomy. In 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur died at a Las Vegas hospital six days after he was wounded in a drive-by shooting; he was 25. In 1997, funeral services were held in Calcutta, India, for Nobel peace laureate Mother Teresa. In 1998, former Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace died in Montgomery at age 79. In 2008, rescue crews ventured out to pluck people from their homes in an all-out search for thousands of Texans who had stubbornly stayed behind overnight to face Hurricane Ike. In 2017, firefighters who were called to a sweltering nursing home in Hollywood, Florida, where air conditioning had been knocked out by Hurricane Irma found three people dead and evacuated 145 others to hospitals; five others died later in the day. Former Republican Sen. Pete Domenici (doh-MEN’-ih-chee), New Mexico’s longest-serving senator, died in Albuquerque at the age of 85. Ten years ago: The body of missing Yale University graduate student Annie Le (lay) was found behind a research lab wall on what would have been her wedding day. (A lab technician, Raymond Clark III, was later sentenced to 44 years in prison for murdering Le.) Kim Clijsters, capping a comeback from two years out of tennis, became the first unseeded woman to win the U.S. Open as she defeated No. 9 Caroline Wozniacki, 7-5, 6-3. At the MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for best female video for “You Belong with Me” was disrupted by Kanye West, who took the microphone to praise Beyonce’s video of “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” Five years ago: Islamic State extremists released a video showing the beheading of British aid worker David Haines, who had been abducted in Syria the previous year; British Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the slaying as “an act of pure evil.” Former baseball player Frank Torre, who’d played seven seasons in the majors with the Milwaukee Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, died in Palm Beach, Florida, at age 82. One year ago: Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said she had notified federal investigators about information she received concerning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh from a person who “strongly requested confidentiality.” (The person was Christine Blasey Ford, who alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh when they were teens.) President Donald Trump dismissed the finding of public health experts who estimated that nearly 3,000 people had died in Puerto Rico from the effects of Hurricane Maria. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo easily beat back a Democratic primary challenge from activist and actress Cynthia Nixon. A series of gas explosions in three towns north of Boston killed a teen driver in his car, injured more than two dozen others and left dozens of homes in ruins.

felt good about the play.” McCaffrey said it was his job to get into the end zone — or at least pick up the first down — and he failed. “The ball is in my hands and I have to make that play,” McCaffrey said. “I have to get better.” Actually the entire Panthers offense needs to get better, Newton said. “It’s hard to look defensive guys in the eyes after a game like this because we didn’t uphold our end of the bargain,” Newton said. “All fingers are pointed back to the offense and me specifically.” Newton finished with 324 yards passing , but was held without a touchdown for the second straight week. The Buccaneers (1-1) got plenty of pressure on Newton with three

there. Let me be clear: the bear was not on the path toward our campsite. He or she was fully in it, like an annoying camp counselor come to knock on our tents to make sure we weren’t sleeping in. Upon seeing me, the bear decided it wasn’t interested in a campsite that actually had people in it. It turned on its heels and crashed through the brush back up the trail from where it had come. I stood paralyzed. It had all happened so fast that I hadn’t even had

part of ecosystem function and are ultimately good for most terrestrial wildlife. For example, periodic fires promote increased variety of tree species and sizes, making forests more resilient to other deleterious factors like spruce beetle outbreaks during dry summers. Although fires have shortterm negative effects for some wildlife, other species greatly benefit from fires and subsequent regeneration. Burn areas will likely experience initial declines in some small mammal species that rely on dense ground cover. The effects of the fire on the Kenai Lowlands caribou herd are unknown. Caribou may be negatively affected by reductions in arboreal lichens on their wintering grounds, but they may also take advantage of new growth in the burn area. Species like spruce grouse and snowshoe hare are intricately linked to successional vegetation stages and benefit from increased growth and habitat variety after fires. Many other migratory and nonmigratory bird species also ultimately benefit from increased variation in forest structure. Dall sheep might even benefit to an extent because unusually dry conditions this summer allowed the fire to burn into alpine habitats, which promotes the growth of Trisetum spicatum and Festuca rubra, two grasses that are important

sacks coming from Shaquil Barrett. The Panthers failed to reach the end zone, only scoring on Joey Slye’s four field goals and a safety by Luke Kuechly . They are 0-2 for the first time since the 2013 season. Newton said it’s embarrassing being booed off the field on some third downs. He said you can’t blame the fans and “they deserve better.” WINSTON AVOIDS TURNOVERS: After throwing two pick 6’s last week, Winston played a turnover-free game. And with the defense playing well, that was good enough. “I thought he was outstanding,” Arians said. “He had a hell of a week as far as mentally preparing and getting ready for this ball game. I think that’s the type of game he can play.”

adequate time to decide whether I was scared or not. And a good thing, too, as my only weapon in that moment would have been a small metal pot of murky, unboiled lake water. I supposed I could have chucked it on our guest in the hopes that it gave him Giardia, but I’m glad it never came to that. I was the only one to see the bear that morning, and indeed the only one of our group to see one the entire trip. Part of me wishes I had evidence that it happened. A photo or a

well-timed Instagram story. But another part of me is glad our little early morning meeting remains between me and that bear. I’ll always appreciate having a truly spontaneous experience that couldn’t be predicted or controlled. Plus, it’s a nice addition to my repertoire of campfire stories.

forage for Dall sheep. Some species in particular benefit greatly from burned areas. Take for example the iconic Kenai moose. Prior to the 1900s, moose were reportedly not very common on the Kenai. Landscape changes created key moose habitats that allowed populations to flourish, resulting in dramatic increases in moose abundance during the early part of the century. A major factor driving these large-scale habitat changes, and associated increases in moose abundance, were large fires that occurred during the earlier part of the century. During the mid-1900s, the Kenai became world renowned for its moose, which were reported to “occur at high abundance and display large antlers.” In 1941, President F.D. Roosevelt established the Kenai National Moose Range “for the purpose of protecting the natural breeding and feeding range of the giant Kenai moose. …” The Kenai National Moose Range was eventually absorbed into the National Wildlife Refuge System and renamed the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge in 1980. On the northern Kenai Peninsula, mature forests are largely composed of spruce forests, which are less productive than earlier successional stage mixed forests. Prime moose habitats consist of early successional stage vegetation including birch, willows, poplar and aspen. Periodic fires are a

key natural factor reducing mature spruce forest stands and facilitating new growth of these hardwood forage species. During the past century, moose abundance on the northern Kenai Peninsula has fluctuated considerably due to harsh winters, habitat succession, increased spruce forests, predation, human harvests and other factors. Large fires on the northern Kenai Peninsula during the 1940s and 1960s created large areas of productive moose habitats. However, with a lack of significant fires since 1970, moose abundance in the area has declined, remaining chronically limited by increases of mature spruce forests and decreased hardwood forage availability as hardwood species grow out of reach for moose. Declines in moose abundance in this area have also reduced opportunities for subsistence and sport harvests by local residents. Although a variety of factors ultimately influence how wildlife populations react to large burns, the Swan Lake fire probably represents a large-scale habitat improvement for moose and a variety of other wildlife species for many years to come.

not actually the truth. What he says doesn’t really matter or hurt anyone, but it still bothers me. It makes me wonder if what he is telling me about something is the correct version or “his” version. Like I said, it is never anything of importance, so I don’t understand why he even does it. I have asked him about it, and he doesn’t really explain. Do you have any idea what would make a person do this? — WIFE IN WONDERLAND DEAR WIFE: Some people “embellish” to impress or to make themselves look more important, or because they think it will make the story more entertaining or exciting. Not knowing your husband, I can’t answer for him. It might help to reassure him that you love him just the way he is, and the truth is always better than fiction.

DEAR RESPECTFUL: If you keep a photo of your late wife next to your bed, I can see how it might bother someone you have been dating for a few years — particularly if you haven’t made a commitment to her. That said, if displaying a picture of your wife in a public room of your home is so threatening to this woman that she would make the kind of scene you describe, it may be time to replace her with someone who is less easily threatened. DEAR ABBY: I have been happily married (for the most part) to my husband of 40 years. He is a good husband, provider and father. Only one thing about him really bothers me. When he is telling someone a story, he frequently “embellishes” it and changes it to something that’s

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might be feeling as if you need a change of pace. Give yourself permission to do just that. You have a strong sense of how to deal with a child, a co-worker or possibly a pet. You feel more secure even if you are not expressing your thoughts. Tonight: Play it cool.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. A key friend comes through for you but expects you to do your share in making a situation work. Open up to suggestions. You could be more in tune with what others want than you realize. Tonight: Join friends; celebrate the weekend.

HHH Tension builds in odd ways. Much of it comes from your need to stay on top of a professional situation. You might be making demands of yourself that no one else is. Stop and rethink a decision. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

HHHH Reach out for a friend or associate. As a question comes up, you find that you have an answer to the issue at hand. You might need to convince your cohorts of the rightness of your ideas. Tonight: Out with a work associate.

HHHH Your feelings come out in a discussion. The other party sees life a lot differently than you do. By walking in this person’s shoes, you come to a new conclusion. You will come to a point of understanding and agreement. Tonight: Consider taking off.

HHHH You are able to make an impression on a key person. You might be trying to get an agreement with certain people. This could involve your social life, rather than your work or something else. Tonight: All smiles.

HHH Pressure builds, and you are likely to respond to others’ demands. A family member or roommate wants more time or something special from you, whereas a boss might want you to contribute more time to a project. You have your hands full. Tonight: Listen to your inner voice.

HHHH You cannot question your popularity. Many people come toward you. Some come for information; others seek your attention. By

HHH Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have. Though the situation and timing work on some level for you, financially you need to be careful. Do not offer up more than you can afford. Tonight: Invite a friend to join you.

HHHHH Your playfulness emerges when dealing with a fun friend, loved one or child. You seem unusually inventive and creative as you pop up with suggestions. Do not feel pressured to act in a certain manner. Tonight: A friend comes through for you.

HHHH One-on-one relating is highlighted. Your ability to move through a problem also could be highlighted. At first, a partner might want to approach a purchase or financial agreement much differently. Do not settle; find a solution that works for both of you. Tonight: Let go and get into the spirit of the weekend.

Dear Heloise: My husband and I are traveling to France this year, but we’ve never been to Europe before. We’d like to do a little RESEARCH before we get there, and we’d like to know who to turn to if we encounter a serious problem. Any hints for us? — Raymond and Kelly N., Inglewood, Calif.
