Dunleavy’s Senate pick fails to get enough votes ANCHORAGE — Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s pick to fill a state Senate seat left vacant by a lawmaker’s death failed to receive enough votes for confirmation from Senate Republicans Thursday. Dunleavy last month named Rep. Laddie Shaw to fill the seat held by Anchorage Republican Sen. Chris Birch, who died in early August. Shaw needed to be backed by at least seven of the Senate’s 12 Republicans. But he failed to garner the minimum number of required votes. Senate Majority spokesman Daniel McDonald says the senators will not release the vote breakdown. A call seeking comment from Dunleavy’s office was not immediately returned. In a news release, Senate Republicans say the governor has 10 days to appoint another candidate for them to consider.

Quick’s campaign manager resigns Paul Huber had allegedly been communicating with Alaska Yes Inc — a local nonprofit supporting Quick’s campaign through post shares on their Facebook page. By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
Nikiski Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly candidate John Quick’s campaign manager, Paul Huber, has resigned after it was reported during an Alaska Public Offices Commission hearing that Huber has been communicating with Alaska Yes Inc — a local nonprofit
supporting Quick’s campaign through post shares on their Facebook page. The commission’s Thursday hearing was in regards to a complaint, filed by Kenai resident Todd Smith against John Quick, that was expedited Wednesday afternoon. The complaint alleges Quick is coordinating with Alaska Yes, Inc — which Quick helped establish in March,
and which Quick said he resigned from also in March. The Alaska Yes Inc organization is running ads against Quick’s opponent, Jesse Bjorkman, and other assembly candidates. A candidate coordinating with an independent expenditure group is in violation of campaign law. According to its website, Alaska Yes Inc is an independent expenditure group, however, the entity has not filed with the state commission as such. At Thursday’s hearing, Quick was represented by attorney Stacey Stone.
Immediately after the hearing, when it was reported that Huber was involved in email correspondence with Alaska Yes, Huber resigned from Quick’s campaign, Stone told the Clarion. Stone said Quick was not aware of Huber’s involvement with Alaska Yes Inc. “Mr. Quick wants to move forward with a positive campaign,” Stone said. In a Thursday afternoon Facebook post on his official campaign page, Vote for Quick, Quick said he accepted Paul Huber’s resignation effective immediately.
Getting their hands dirty for science
“Paul is a good guy with a big heart,” the post read. “During a hearing today before the Alaska Public Offices Commission, I learned for the first time that Paul was in communication with Alaska Yes, an independent expenditure entity, via email. I was not copied on these emails, nor was I aware that Paul was copied on this emails. I was familiar with this entity as I was previously affiliated with the same.” During Thursday’s hearing, the commission asked if See quick, Page A2
Rain knocks back Swan Lake Fire The area already has seen between 2.25 and 3.05 inches of rain this month. By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
dog park. City of Kenai Parks and Recreation Director Bob Frates said the idea originally came from the Alaska State Parks organization, and the city ran with it. “For me, it’s a way we can integrate art into the public realm, or a public space,” Frates said. “This makes the trail a little more interactive, because trails are pretty passive by nature.
With about two weeks left in the month, the Swan Lake Fire has already received more rain in September than it did all summer. Fire crews currently have the fire 57% contained at 167,164 acres, according to the latest update from the Type 2 Northern Rockies Incident Management Team 4. Incident Meteorologist Brent Bower reported on Thursday that between Sept. 1 and Sept. 18, the area of the Swan Lake Fire received anywhere from 2.25 to 3.05 inches of rain. For comparison, the Kenai Peninsula received 1.51 inches of rainfall between June 1 and Aug. 12, according to the National Weather Service as reported by the Clarion on Sept. 7. Public Information Officer Kathy Arnoldus said on Thursday that the consistent precipitation has begun to make a significant impact on fire efforts. Arnoldus said that more rain is forecast over the next five days, which is expected to keep fire behavior low and mitigate potential spread. Deep pockets of duff do continue to smolder in some areas, and there has not yet been enough rain to penetrate these layers. Portions of the Kenai Peninsula north of the fire remain in a state of extreme drought, according to the latest update from the National Drought Monitor. The area of the fire ranges from being in a severe drought to a moderate drought. With minimal growth being reported, firefighters have focused their efforts this week on clearing burned trees from roadways and other public use areas. Tuesday night, high winds caused weakened trees to fall across Skilak Lake Road and the Lower and Upper Skilak Boat Launch roads. Fire crews

Anchorage driver held on suspicion of hitting woman ANCHORAGE — A 42-year-old Anchorage man has been arrested on suspicion of striking a woman he had dated with his sport utility vehicle Wednesday. Anchorage police say Roger Moen Jr. placed the injured woman in the SUV and drove off. He was arrested a few blocks away. The woman was taken to a hospital for treatment of a head wound. Online court documents do not list Moen’s attorney. Moen was held on suspicion of assault and other charges. Moen last month was charged with assaulting the same woman and was ordered to have no contact with her.

Kenai may limit pot shop hours By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
The Kenai City Council is considering an ordinance to restrict hours of operation for marijuana retail businesses in the city. Ordinance 3088-2019, introduced to the council Sept. 18, would prohibit
marijuana retail businesses from conducting business between the hours of 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. Currently, Alaska State Statutes and Administrative Codes prohibit marijuana businesses and bars from operating between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. Dur ing We dnes day night’s council meeting, two
business owners spoke about the potential impacts that these proposed restrictions would have. Ron Isaacs, owner of Majestic Gardens, voiced his opposition to the ordinance. Isaacs argued that by putting the restriction on marijuana retailers and not bars, bars are given an unfair
competitive advantage in the name of promoting public safety. “We’ve never had the police called to our location,” Isaacs said on Wednesday night. “I don’t know how many calls each weekend the bars get, but I know See pot, Page A2

Quick: He says he resigned March 25 From Page A1
Quick could get Huber on the phone to testify. Huber did not answer when Quick and Stone reached out to him during Thursday’s hearing. Huber did not respond to calls and voicemails from the Clarion Thursday afternoon. Alaska Yes, Inc is incorporated as a nonprofit and is filed with the commission as an entity. The alaskayes.org website identifies AlaskaYes LLC as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit “established to provide independent expenditures for conservative political candidates and to advocate for conservative issues throughout the State of Alaska.” The Alaska Yes Facebook page, which includes a link to alaskayes.org, says the site was paid for by AlaskaYes, and certifies that “all ads are not authorized, paid for or approved by candidates.” Wayne Ogle, Peter Zuyus, Kathy Toms and Nona Safra are listed as board members of Alaska Yes Inc under the entity’s most recent commission filing. Phone calls from Zuyus and Toms were not returned as of Thursday afternoon. Alaska Yes, Inc, through its Facebook page, is supporting Quick’s campaign through post shares from Quick’s campaign Facebook page. Alaska Yes, Inc’s Facebook page has also posted video endorsements from Mayor Charlie Pierce and Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski, in support of Quick. An endorsement message from Pierce was no longer on the Alaska Yes Facebook page as of Wednesday evening. Quick posted a different
endorsement video from the mayor on his own campaign Facebook page Wednesday afternoon. AlaskaYes has purchased advertising in local news outlets and has posted signs in opposition to Kenai Peninsula Borough Proposition 1. On its Facebook page, Alaska Yes, Inc has posted ads against Tyson Cox, Bjorkman and Brent Johnson. A website dedicated to opposing Cox — which includes a disclaimer saying it was paid for by Alaska Yes — also includes negative allegations against Cox. In a Sept. 5 filing of Alaska Yes Inc’s entity paperwork, Quick is listed as the organization’s director. This listing is a mistake, Quick said at both Wednesday and Thursday’s hearings. Quick said Wednesday during the initial hearing and to the Clarion that he resigned March 25 and has had no involvement with the organization since. Quick said at the Thursday hearing he helped incorporate Alaska Yes Inc March 5 with Zuyus and Blaine Gilman, to establish an organization that would seek to champion various issues in Alaska, including private property rights. Quick said at Thursday’s hearing that he resigned March 25 as the director of the group after the organization focused their efforts in another direction he was less passionate about. Toms, the Alaska Yes Inc treasurer who filed the Sept. 5 entity paperwork, told both the Clarion Wednesday and the commission in their Thursday hearing that the inclusion of Quick’s name in the filing was a mistake. At
Thursday’s hearing, Toms said she had only been involved with Alaska Yes Inc for three weeks, and was asked to join Alaska Yes Inc by board members Nona Safra and Peter Zuyus because of her accounting expertise. When asked by the commission on Thursday what she does for Alaska Yes Inc, Toms said she is working on accounting, setting up QuickBooks and will be doing more filings as required. Toms said Thursday at the hearing that Alaska Yes Inc advertisements are emailed to “everybody,” and suggestions, comments and approvals of those ads are made via email correspondence. When asked by the commission who “everybody” was, Toms listed Huber and Alaska Yes Inc board members Wayne Ogle and Nona Safra. Thursday afternoon, Ogle told the Clarion that he has had no involvement with the creation or reviewing of ads for Alaska Yes Inc. At Thursday’s hearing, Toms said she did not know who Paul Huber was, only that she was “carbon copied” on email responses from him in regards to Alaska Yes Inc business. The commission confirmed that since Aug. 6, Huber was listed as Quick’s candidate chair in official candidate commission filing. Quick confirmed Huber’s role as candidate chair at the Thursday hearing, but said he was not aware of any correspondence between Huber and Alaska Yes Inc. “I’m not aware of any emails he’s on as it relates to Alaska Yes,” Quick said. “However, if he is on those emails, he will
be relieved of his duties.” Toms and Quick testified to the commission that they did not know each other. Smith filed a complaint to the commission Wednesday morning after he noticed the ads Alaska Yes Inc was posting to their Facebook page. At Wednesday’s hearing, he said wanted to learn more about Alaska Yes, Inc. He said he checked the commission’s records, and found that Alaska Yes, Inc filed as an entity on Sept. 5, and Quick was listed as the organization’s director. He also found that Quick was an incorporator for the organization. At Wednesday’s hearing, Quick provided the commission with his resignation letter from Alaska Yes Inc, as well as the entity’s Domestic Nonprofit Corporation Initial Biennial Report, filed on Sept. 6, which does not list Quick as a director or board member of the organization. Toms said the clerical mistake on the Sept. 5 filing came about when she was searching state records. She said at the hearing she used the members listed on the original incorporation documents. “The only thing on there at the time was the same original organization papers, so I just copied it off of that,” Toms said at the Thursday hearing. The commission — the state entity for campaign disclosures — has one day to make a conclusion, staff at the commission said. One of three conclusions can be made: a cease order of the activity, dismissal of the complaint, or referral of the complaint to commission staff for a full investigation.
has considered staying open later during the summer dipnetting season and doesn’t want to be preemptively barred from doing so. Ryan Tunseth, owner of East Rip in Kenai, said he was wary of any legislation that could have a negative impact on the financial success of a business, but

marijuana retailers from operating between 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. In the city of Soldotna the prohibited hours are from 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. Council members will vote on the ordinance Oct. 2, and should it be enacted the new hours of operation will go into effect 30 days later.

On the one year anniversary of her passing, some of you in the community might still be wondering whatever happened to my mother, Joann Odd? 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.

The entire length of Skilak Lake Road is open, including Jim’s Landing and the Upper and Lower Skilak Boat Launches. Campgrounds in the Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area remain closed due to the safety hazard posed by fallen trees. Drivers on the road should use caution and be aware of potentially blocked roads. Crews will continue to clear trees as needed to keep
roadways open. On the southern side of the fire and south of the Kenai River, repair of suppression lines will continue “where it is appropriate to do so,” according to Thursday’s update. Arnoldus said that no new containment lines are being built, but existing lines are being constantly monitored to ensure that they hold. The structure protection group in Cooper Landing has spent the week packing up unused equipment and preparing supplies for backhaul.

What others say
Asylum decision loses sight of immigrant suffering
W
e understand why immigration leads to a raucous and, too often, heated public policy debate. But what we fear is that this debate, especially the portion of it that centers on those fleeing oppression and seeking asylum in the United States, is losing sight of the people whose lives are at stake in this fight. We’ll stipulate, as we have many times before in editorials, that it is critically important for the United States to have robust border controls, a legal process that is adhered to, and consequences for people who break the law. Our question in engaging in this debate, however, is always this: What should the law be? In terms of asylum, it’s critically important that this country remain a refuge for those fleeing tyranny. By being that refuge, we undercut tyranny abroad. And by offering asylum, over the course of our history we have taken in millions of people who went on to serve this country with distinction. So it is with some disappointment that we watched the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last week to stay an injunction on the Trump administration’s latest attempt to restrict asylum for those fleeing Central and South America. Put a little more plainly, the rule change in question — which requires that asylum seekers who enter the U.S. from our southern border first seek asylum in a third country, almost certainly Guatemala or Mexico — took effect on July 16 without the usual preceding comment period. As Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in an incisive dissent, the rule is “especially concerning” because it “topples decades of settled asylum practices and affects some of the most vulnerable people in the Western Hemisphere — without affording the public a chance to weigh in.” For this reason alone, a California District Court was right to enjoin the rule. But, as Sotomayor points out in her dissent, joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the lower court “found it probable that the rule was inconsistent with the asylum statute” which “provides that any noncitizen ‘physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States … may apply for asylum.’” And while there are “carefully calibrated exceptions” to asylum eligibility, namely “on the possibility that a person could safely resettle in a third country,” the Trump administration’s rule “does not consider whether refugees were safe or resettled in Mexico — just whether they traveled through it.” That “blunt approach,” said Sotomayor, “rewrote the statute.” Moreover, the idea that asylum in Mexico or Guatemala is somehow equivalent to asylum in the U.S. is not based in fact. America has its problems with crime and violence, but its unequaled freedoms, long-established rule of law, and unparalleled economic opportunities are a magnet for millions of hopeful immigrants as well as a place of refuge from war and persecution for, in President Ronald Reagan’s words, “anyone with the will and the heart to get here.” America is a unique place. Not only can you find safety here, but you can assimilate and become American. Take for example, Hung Ba Le, one of millions of Vietnamese who fled after the fall of Saigon in 1975. He was fortunate enough to arrive in America as a refugee and has gone on to an illustrious career in the U.S. Navy that included not only the U.S. Naval Academy but that also included, a decade ago, serving as the commanding officer of a destroyer, the USS Lassen, that docked in Vietnam. This kind of story would be unusual or impossible in many parts of the world. But here, and other free countries, it’s more common than many might realize. Or put another way, the U.S. military and the ranks of corporate America are full of native speakers of other languages because people from all backgrounds can and do subscribe to the idea that is America and become Americans. Instead of finding ways to more swiftly and judiciously evaluate the claims of all asylum seekers, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security adopted a rule that only applies to asylum seekers “who enter or attempt to enter the United States across the southern land border after failing to apply for protection from persecution or torture while in a third country through which they transited” while traveling to the U.S. It’s worth pointing out that most Central Americans in the U.S. aren’t newcomers. According to the Migration Policy Institute, nearly half of the roughly 3.5 million Central American immigrants residing in the U.S. as of 2017 came before 2000, many fleeing brutal civil wars in the region. Between 1980 and 1990, in the midst of devastating civil wars in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala, the Central American immigrant population in the U.S. tripled. Today, while economic and political instability remain a major problem, the power of drug cartels and organized crime has led to a near complete collapse of the rule of law and in many cases the corruption of local law enforcement in the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. That and the droughts and failed crops that have plagued the region is why people are fleeing. President Donald Trump called the Supreme Court’s decision to stay the injunction on the rule a “BIG United States Supreme Court WIN for the Border on Asylum!” We respectfully disagree, and hope the court strikes it down when it eventually rules on the key issue involved, not just on the temporary injunction from a district court. Regardless of where the court lands, what’s needed in Texas and across the country is a congressional fix to our asylum laws and on immigration policy more broadly. — The Dallas Morning News, Sept. 18

Voices of the peninsula | Kenai Peninsula Food Bank staff and directors
Why support farmers markets? T he Kenai Peninsula Food Bank Farmers Market’s mission is to provide access to locally grown and nutritious food and promote interior Alaska’s agricultural, horticultural, and cottage industries — providing quality produce and products to the public. The mission of the Alaska Farmers Market Association is to support and promote vibrant and sustainable farmers markets throughout Alaska. Farmers markets have experienced a renaissance throughout the nation and have begun to spring up all over Alaska. While our short growing season and cold climate offer many challenges to our farmers, farmers markets are thriving across Alaska. In 2005, the Division of Agriculture listed 13 markets throughout the state. In 2014, that number grew to 37, and in 2017, there were 41 — with more markets in planning stages. Farmers markets are good for farmers and good for the communities they serve. Farmers markets provide a place where farmers can reconnect with consumers directly and capture retail dollars for their fresh, high-quality products. Farmers markets are family-friendly, community-building events that bring neighbors together, attract retail activity to surrounding businesses, create forums for
civic education and involvement and provide direct access to Alaska’s agricultural bounty. The Alaska Farmers Market Association with parent organization Cook Inletkeeper received a 2017 USDA FMPP Grant to promote connectivity and collaboration amongst Alaska’s farmers markets. The Kenai Peninsula Food Bank Farmers Fresh Market has received $1,150 from that grant to support our local market. With this funding, our market better promotes the market and to improve signage. The Kenai Peninsula Food Bank looks forward to working together with the Alaska Farmers Market Association and the other markets around the state to grow and improve our local farmers markets. As a vibrant and integral piece of our local community and its economy, the Alaska Farmers Markets look to be a consistent voice at the council in support of farmers, cottage food producers and local crafters. Thank you for your supporting Alaska’s farmers markets and growers! Why is it important to support our local farmers markets? You create a sense of community through buying locally and cooking and eating locally grown food with friends and family. You build a healthier lifestyle by
buying, cooking and eating real food, rather than eating processed, commercially prepared foods. You create stronger social structures by cooking and eating with family and friends. You are promoting and protecting Alaskan agriculture for our future. You are protecting Alaska’s precious agricultural lands from development. Why is it important to buy local food? The produce tastes better because of our cool climate! Our cool nights make the vegetables sweeter and more delicious than anything grown in hotter climates. The produce tastes better because it’s fresher! With vegetables grown just a few miles away, harvests can be much more recent than for produce shipped from Outside. Your produce will stay fresh much longer after you buy it, because it is so fresh to begin with. The transportation costs of buying local food are much lower than buying produce that has been shipped from the Lower 48. You’re conserving all kinds of energy by buying local food! You’re supporting local farmers and ensuring that farming and local food production will remain viable in Alaska.

Democrats shift strategies for 2020 By Juana Summers and Alexandra Jaffe Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — Kamala Harris will “exponentially” increase the time she’s spending in Iowa. Bernie Sanders is shaking up his operations there and in New Hampshire. And Beto O’Rourke is going broader, turning up at such places as a San Quentin prison and an Arkansas gun show. With just over four months until the Iowa caucuses usher in the battle for the Democratic nomination, candidates are shifting their approaches to the state. Some are betting the changes will pay off closer to the caucuses. Others are lowering expectations by looking beyond Iowa. All are confronting the reality that the heady early days of their campaigns will soon collide with actual voting that could quickly force them out of the race. “This is the place where you would see larger-scale course corrections,” said Democratic strategist Karen Finney. “Over the summer, there’s tinkering here or there, but with voting starting in four months, you have to be thinking about where you want to be by that point.” Harris was the latest candidate to pivot after a challenging summer in which she’s struggled to catch up to early front-runner Joe Biden or capture the same energy as Elizabeth Warren. Juan Rodriguez, Harris’ campaign manager, told reporters Thursday that the California senator is going big in Iowa, dedicating 60 paid staffers to the state. “We want to make sure we have a strong, top-three finish,” Rodriguez said, arguing that the Feb. 3 caucuses could “slingshot” Harris into the contests that quickly follow in New Hampshire, South Carolina and the Super Tuesday states, including California. As Harris and virtually every other
Democratic contender descend on Iowa this weekend for the annual steak fry fundraiser, they’re well aware of what’s on the line. Iowa has repeatedly proved decisive in winnowing the presidential field — or providing a path to victory. John Kerry, once the 2004 campaign’s early front-runner, was lagging behind upstart Howard Dean in the fall of 2003, only to shake up his campaign in October, reinvest heavily in Iowa and race to victory in the closing weeks. Likewise, Barack Obama’s late 2007 surge past better-known names including Hillary Clinton capped a once-unlikely win in Iowa that set him on the road to the nomination and presidency. Joe Trippi, who ran Dean’s campaign, said no one should be counted out despite polls that show a largely static top tier of candidates including Biden, Sanders and Warren. “Iowa moves frickin’ fast and hard at the end, and it’s not necessarily who you’d expect that comes out on top,” he said. “You can go the whole way thinking Howard Dean has it locked up, and you find out the hard way that’s not how it works.” With that in mind, many candidates are building sizable operations in Iowa. Biden will soon have 110 staffers in the state, including more than 80 in the field. Sanders has 72 staffers on the ground, and Warren has more than 65 staffers in the state. Harris’ decision to add roughly 60 staffers in Iowa and spend more time on the ground there is a significant shift from the campaign she ran this summer. Until she arrived on Thursday, she was absent from Iowa for more than a month. Her campaign says she’ll be there every week starting in October. Other candidates are also planning a fall surge in Iowa. Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has rapidly expanded his paid staffers in the
state, bringing his total to 100, one of the field’s most expansive Iowa footprints. His campaign is convening more than two dozen donors in Iowa this weekend to discuss strategy, according to an aide who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the plans. Buttigieg plans to crisscross the state by bus this weekend, with visits to smaller cities in central and northern Iowa. Sanders, meanwhile, recently severed ties with his Iowa political director, one of a series of staff shake-ups in key early voting states. The campaign also replaced Sanders’ New Hampshire state director. Amy Klobuchar, who has focused heavily on Iowa, is zeroing in this week on a “blue wall” tour of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, states that supported Democrats for decades before flipping to President Donald Trump in 2016. The Minnesota senator is stressing the similarities between her home state and the blue wall states, and her ability to win over voters in areas that backed Trump — an argument, she says, for why she would be the best Democratic nominee. O’Rourke is also taking a wider view of the map. Since suspending his campaign for nearly two weeks to remain in his hometown of El Paso, Texas, after a mass shooting there that killed 22 people, he’s vowed to take the quest to deny Trump a second term directly to the president. He’s is traveling to unusual places like the Mississippi towns where recent immigration raids led to nearly 700 people arrested and an Arkansas gun show. The idea is to distinguish O’Rourke in a crowded field. But Trippi said the strategy could prove fatal. “It’s Iowa or nothing,” he said. “Touring every state but the early states is a big mistake.”

White House blocks whistleblower report By Mary Clare Jalonick and Lisa Mascaro Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration plunged into an extraordinary showdown with Congress on Thursday over access to a whistleblower’s reported complaint about incidents including a private conversation between President Donald Trump and a foreign leader. The blocked complaint is both “serious” and “urgent,” the government’s intelligence watchdog said. The administration is keeping Congress from even learning what exactly the whistleblower is alleging, but the intelligence community’s inspector general said the matter involves the “most significant” responsibilities of intelligence leadership. One report said it involved a promise Trump made in a phone call to a foreign leader. A lawmaker said the complaint was “based on a series of events.” The inspector general appeared before the House intelligence committee behind closed doors Thursday but declined, under administration orders,
to reveal to members the substance of the complaint. The standoff raises fresh questions about the extent to which Trump’s allies are protecting the president from oversight and, specifically, if his new acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, is working with the Justice Department to shield the president from the reach of Congress. Trump, though giving no details about any incident, denied Thursday that he would ever “say something inappropriate” on such a call. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said he was prepared to go to court to try to force the Trump administration to open up about the complaint. “The inspector general has said this cannot wait,” said Schiff, describing the administration’s blockade as an unprecedented departure from law. “There’s an urgency here that I think the courts will recognize.” The Washington Post reported the complaint involves an intelligence official’s allegation that Trump made a promise to an unidentified foreign leader in a telephone call. The Post cited two anonymous former

U.S. officials. The Associated Press has not confirmed the report. Schiff said he, too, could not confirm whether the Post report was accurate because the administration was claiming executive privilege in withholding the complaint. But letters from the inspector general to the committee released Thursday said it was an “urgent” matter of “serious or flagrant abuse” that must be shared
with lawmakers. The letters also made it clear that Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence, Maguire, consulted with the Justice Department in deciding not to transmit the complaint to Congress in a further departure from standard procedure. It’s unclear whether the White House was also involved, Schiff said. Because the administration is claiming the
information is privileged, Schiff said he believes the whistleblower’s complaint “likely involves the president or people around him.” Trump dismissed it all. “Another Fake News story out there — It never ends!” Trump tweeted. “Virtually anytime I speak on the phone to a foreign leader, I understand that there may be many people listening from various U.S. agencies, not to mention those from the other country
itself. No problem!” He asked: “Is anybody dumb enough to believe that I would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader while on such a potentially ‘heavily populated’ call.” House Democrats are fighting the administration separately for access to witnesses and documents in impeachment probes. This new situation has led to their public concerns that government intelligence agencies and the recently named acting director might be under pressure to withhold information from Congress. Trump tapped Maguire, a former Navy official, as acting intelligence director in August, after the departure of Director Dan Coats, a former Republican senator who often clashed with the president, and the retirement of Sue Gordon, a career professional in the No. 2 position. Maguire has refused to discuss details of the whistleblower complaint, but he has been subpoenaed by the House panel and is expected to testify publicly Thursday. Both Maguire and the inspector general, Michael Atkinson, are also expected next week at the Senate intelligence committee.
Suicide bombing in Amazon vows to cut use of fossil fuels Afghanistan kills 20 By Joseph Pisani and Bani Sapra

at least 16 and wounded tens of others, most of them civilians, said Jawaid Zaman, presidential adviser on tribal affairs. The U.S. forces in Afghanistan said they carried out a strike in eastern Nangarhar targeting Islamic State positions in the area. “We are aware of allegations of the death of non-combatants and are working with local officials to determine the facts,” said Col. Sonny Legget, U.S. Forces-Afghanistan. Angry residents of the area where the strike occurred carried 12 of the bodies to the provincial capital Jalalabad Thursday morning protesting the attack, said provincial council head Ahmad Ali Hazrat. Many more people are believed to be missing. Attaullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor, also said the target was Islamic State group militants who are in the area. But according to Zaman the local residents had provided prior notice to the local authorities that they would be collecting dried fruit. As many as 50 people were in the fields when the aerial attack occurred, he said.

KABUL, Afghanistan — A powerful suicide truck bomb devastated a hospital in southern Afghanistan early Thursday morning, killing 20 people and wounding 97 others, according to the province’s governor, while a deadly drone strike in the country’s east was blamed on U.S. forces. The Taliban, who claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing, have carried out nearly daily attacks since peace talks with the United States collapsed earlier this month. Thursday’s explosion destroyed part of the hospital in Qalat, the capital of southern Zabul province, and left a fleet of ambulances broken and battered. Local residents, many of whom had come to see their sick family members, used shawls and blankets to carry the wounded inside the destroyed building, while authorities scrambled to take the worst of the wounded to hospitals in nearby Kandahar. Hours earlier, a drone attack in eastern Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province blamed on U.S. forces killed

WASHINGTON — Online shopping giant Amazon revealed a carbon footprint Thursday that rivals that of a small country and vowed to reduce the damage to the planet by cutting its use of fossil fuels.

The blast took place in the eastern Hadramawt province, far from the part of Yemen controlled by the Houthi rebels, and also wounded at least 13 soldiers, many of them Saudi. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen has carried out similar attacks in the area. This was the first such bombing to target Saudi forces in Hadramawt since the Saudi war in Yemen began in 2015. It also comes days after
the Houthi rebels claimed a drone and cruise missile attack on the heart of Saudi Arabia’s oil industry.
Iran says leaders to attend UN meeting TEHRAN — Iran says its president and foreign minister have received visas from the United States to attend next week’s U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York. A spokesman at Iran’s mission to the U.N said Thursday that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif would arrive in New York on Friday, and President Hassan Rouhani on Monday.
Bolivia forest fires
LA PAZ, Bolivia — Fires have consumed more than 12,000 square miles of forests and grasslands in just over a month in Bolivia, according
Environment, Energy and Economics at Appalachian State University. Amazon’s employees have pressured the company to do more to combat climate change. Earlier this year, more than 8,000 Amazon staffers signed an open letter to Bezos, demanding that Amazon cut its carbon emissions, end its use of fossil fuels and stop working with oil companies who use Amazon’s technology to find drillable oil faster. More than 1,500 employees are planning a walk-out Friday to support the Global Climate Strike, a worldwide climate change protest.
Amazon plans to be carbon neutral by 2040 and wants other companies to join it. Bezos unveiled a climate pledge and said he would talk with CEOs of other large companies to get them to sign it. Amazon Employees For Climate Justice, a group founded by Amazon workers, said the company’s announcement amounted to a “huge win” and proved that employee pressure works. It said it would keep pushing the issue as long as Amazon continues working with oil and gas companies and donating to politicians who deny climate change.
1,000 rescues, evacuations as Imelda soaks Texas By Juan A. Lozano Associated Press
CHINA, Texas — The slowchurning remnants of Tropical Storm Imelda dangerously flooded parts of Texas and Louisiana on Thursday, scrambling rescue crews and volunteers with boats to reach scores of stranded drivers and families trapped in their homes during a relentless downpour that drew comparisons to Hurricane Harvey two years ago. Officials in Harris County, which includes Houston, said there had been a

solar panels and other renewable energy by 2030. That’s up from 40% today. “We’ve been in the middle of the herd on this issue and we want to move to the forefront,” said Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos, who announced the initiatives at an event in Washington. Amazon said it emitted 44.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide last year, a number that comes close to pollution rates of some small nations. “Its greenhouse gas emissions are about 85% of the emissions of Switzerland or Denmark,” said Gregg Marland, a professor at the Research Institute for
to an environmental group, with the blazes affecting the South American country’s Amazon region. The Friends of Nature Foundation said the burned area is the size of Switzerland and its estimates are based on satellite images. In its report, it said that since January fires have burned 15,800 square miles.

combination of at least 1,000 high-water rescues and evacuations to get people to shelter. More than 900 flights were canceled or delayed in Houston, and further north on the Texas Gulf Coast, authorities warned that a levee could break near Beaumont in Jefferson County. The National Weather Service said radar estimates suggested that Jefferson County was deluged with more than 40 inches of rain in a span of just 72 hours. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner evoked the memory of Harvey — which dumped
more than 50 inches of rain on the nation’s fourth-largest city in 2017 — while pleading with residents to stay put. City officials said they had received more than 1,500 high-water rescue calls to 911, most from drivers stuck on flooded roads, but authorities described a number of them as people who were inconvenienced and not in immediate danger. Turner said the city had no reports of injuries as Imelda’s intensity finally began to weaken by Thursday afternoon. A massive Houston
furniture store became a shelter for evacuees. Live television footage showed firefighters rescuing stranded truckers on major highways. On social media, people posted that water was quickly seeping into their homes and asked for help. Large swaths of Interstate 10 were turned into waterways and closed. And even as the intensity of the storm weakened, Harris County officials warned that some of their 4.7 million residents might not see high waters recede in their neighborhoods until the weekend.

minister’s message | Al Weeks
Seeking wisdom in memories T
his week begins the first anniversary of the death of my father. So naturally my mind is drawn to memories of him and the legacy he gave me. My father was not a wealthy man, but he was rich in wisdom and that he spent liberally to any that sought it from him. As these things came to me, I tried to reach back into my memory and find some of that wisdom and for whatever reason nothing came to the surface. Bewildered I then sought out memories of the good times or the bad, anything that stood out, and again I came up empty. It was around then as I was preparing for a sermon that I found myself wandering through the word of God. I was a weird experience. I felt as though I was being led as a child through a dark forest at night while
holding tight to my father’s hand. Every once in a while, we would stop and linger in a place and I can hear him whispering to me words of love and comfort that I cannot remember nor would I share if I could — they were for me and me alone. We finally arrived at our destination, it felt like stepping into a clearing on that selfsame night. The moon came out and lit the place with a surreal otherworldly glow and there we sat. I had found myself in a passage that I had spent many a long hour dwelling in, 2 Timothy chapter 4. This is a chapter that Paul is writing to the protégé Timothy; he was at the end of his life and wanted to leave a legacy to his spiritual son before he stepped out of this world and to the next. I don’t know why the Lord led me here in such

an odd way, but here I was, nonetheless. It was then that these words leap off the page and slapped me upside the head; 2 Timothy 4:6–8 (NAS): For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. (Verse 6-8) It was at that moment I could feel my father smile. My father, for all his faults and failures, did one thing with exceptional clarity, he poured himself out for those he loved. He gave unconditional love to his wife, my mother, even
when she left him twice. I watched him win her back twice. I saw what it was like for a man to truly love a wife unconditionally. If asked what my father’s legacy is, I would have to say this: he gave his whole life for those the Lord brought into his sphere of influence. He did this intuitively as he followed Jesus, Paul and rest of the biblical authors. He loved recklessly and relentlessly. He, like Jesus, will ever be a part of me. Sleep well my father ‘till we meet again in that blessed land. I will do what I can to pass you on to those I love. Pastor Al Weeks and his family serve in First Baptist Church of Kenai.

Pope to return to Asia Associated Press
BANGKOK — Pope Francis will travel to Thailand and Japan in November for a visit expected to highlight his call for complete nuclear disarmament and honor the small Catholic communities in each country. The Vatican confirmed the Nov. 19-26 trip, and its diplomatic representative in Thailand, Archbishop Paul Tschang In-Nam, announced the Thai stop. Francis will be in Thailand on Nov. 20-23 before heading to Japan, where government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said the pope would meet with Emperor Naruhito and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It will be Francis’ fourth trip to Asia, where he has already visited South Korea, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Myanmar and Bangladesh. The last pope to visit Japan was the late Saint Pope John Paul II in 1981. He was also the last pope to visit Thailand, in 1984. During his official visit to

Thailand, Francis will preside at religious ceremonies and make pastoral visits to Catholic communities. “When I heard the news about the papal visit, as a Christian, I’m very delighted because it will be a oncein-a-lifetime moment,” said Sister Aranya Kitbunchu, a member of the congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. “We will get to meet him as a real person, not through TV. I believe that his visit will bring peace to the people.” Francis’s Japan visit includes Tokyo as well as Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were hit by U.S. atomic bombs at the end of World War II. A call for a world without nuclear weapons has been Francis’ longtime message. Japan, whose main religions are Buddhism and Shintoism, has about 441,000 Catholics, many in Nagasaki, comprising fewer than 1% of the overall population. Thailand, with an overall population of 69 million people, has some 388,000 Catholics.

Brahmas top Brown Bears in OT Staff Report Peninsula Clarion
For a second straight night, the Kenai River Brown Bears went to overtime at the North American Hockey League Showcase in Blaine, Minnesota. For a second straight night, they came out on the wrong end of things. The Bears suffered a second straight 3-2 loss Thursday, this time to the Lone Star Brahmas, a day after losing by the same score in a shootout. Lone Star’s Drew DeCarlo netted the game-winner 2 minutes, 57
seconds, into the overtime period, sending the Brahmas to 2-0 this year and the Bears to 0-2. Both losses for Kenai River still count for points, as a loss in overtime or a shootout still pays one point, something that head coach Kevin Murdock is banking on. Murdock said the level of play between the Bears and the Brahmas came down to the lack of practice days Kenai River has had in the early season. “We’re playing against teams that have been in gear for a couple of weeks already,” Murdock said. “We have only seven or eight practices so far, but there’s definitely
some encouraging things coming together.” Porter Schachle and Theo Thrun scored in the first period to give the Bears a 2-0 lead. Schachle scored unassisted 6:49 into the game, while Thrun extended the lead with help from Zach Krajnik with 3:57 left in the first period. However, the Brahmas returned to outshoot the Bears 24-9 in the second and third periods. Murdock said it was evident during the team’s power-play opportunities, which totaled six. The Bears failed to score on all of them, including four in the first period. The Bears fell into the penalty
box twice in the second period as the Brahmas stayed clean, which began the shift in momentum. Lone Star lit the lamp late in the second period with a goal from Jack Collins, then tied it with 12:06 remaining in the third on a Joey Baez score. “I thought the guys came out with a lot of energy, and we might’ve surprised Lone Star a little,” Murdock said. “But then they got settled in for the next two periods and we let off the gas a little bit. They’re a veteran team with some experienced guys on it.”

Week 6 of the prep football season brings the season’s first full slate of conference games, along with relief following the averted teacher’s strike. Tuesday’s early morning news that the Kenai Peninsula School District would be continue classes after an agreement was reached between the school district and two employee associations also allowed prep sports to continue their season schedules. Needless to say, the response has been enthusiastic.
“My wife woke me up at 3:45 a.m. when we got the message,” said Homer head coach Justin Zank about getting the news. “It’s great we can get back to work.” SoHi coach Galen Brantley Jr. expressed concerns about the two sides’ inability to come to an agreement ultimately hurting KPBSD students and activities, which would have been canceled with no playercoach contact. “We’re just blessed to be able to play at this point,” Brantley Jr. said. “We’ve gotten off to a wild year.” The season has featured one unpredictable swing after another,

want to start reflecting on this summer with an onslaught of adjectives — hot, exciting, adventurous, challenging — but I have two more things on my agenda, Jack and Ali. The pair are flying up to Alaska next week for a shoulder season adventure. It will be Ali’s third trip to visit, Jack’s first and my fifth time hosting out of state guests this year. I’ve been lucky enough to welcome friends and family into my home, simultaneously allowing them to experience the vast Alaska wilderness and my cramped, one bedroom, attic apartment. My friend Kate came in the middle of winter. She had two weeks for her second trip to the state and didn’t want to do much but “ski and chill.” So, we had a weekend skiing the trails of Homer and a week just hanging out next to a wood stove in Seward after trips around Bear Lake. Nikki came for a quick weekend trip and we spent those few days sitting near the beach, watching the waves break. Michelle and my first cousin once removed, Augie for short, came to visit at the end of July, giving me a good dose of family time and a new lens to see Alaska through — the eyes of a 2-year-old. It turns out that boat rides into Kenai Fjords National Park are scary if the boat is moving, but OK when stopped looking at whales. Meanwhile, sled dogs can pull, jostle and shake the cart you sit in and it’s OK, because “dog-dogs” are the best. During Michelle and Augie’s stay, that playground down the street quickly morphed in my mind from a directional landmark to a main attraction. Sure, all of Alaska is a playground, but every once in a while you need a good swing sesh. Camille visited me from Manhattan at the end of August, over Labor Day weekend. While in Seward, we hid from wildfire smoke by catching up indoors, our conversations highlighting how different our daily lives had become and remembering the days in college when they were nearly identical. We spent a long weekend in McCarthy, camping out our last night, and Camille woke up in my loaner sleeping bag freezing. We packed up the car that afternoon and drove to Anchorage for her
Jaguars take down Titans JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Minshew Mania is gaining momentum. Gardner Minshew threw two touchdown passes and should have had a third, Calais Campbell spearheaded another defensive gem and the Jacksonville Jaguars handled the Tennessee Titans 20-7 in sloppy conditions Thursday night. Jacksonville (1-2) ended a four-game losing streak in the AFC South series and avoided the franchise’s second 0-3 start in four years. “This felt good,” defensive tackle Abry Jones said. “We needed this.” With all eyes on star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who may have played his final game for Jacksonville, Minshew and a second stellar defensive outing in five days captured the spotlight. A sixth-round draft pick starting his second consecutive game in place of injured Nick Foles (broken collarbone), Minshew completed 20 of 30 passes for 204 yards. He found James O’Shaughnessy wide open for a 7-yard score, which came one play after Adoree’ Jackson’s muffed punt. Minshew was more precise with a 22-yard touchdown pass to DJ Chark, who was blanketed by Malcolm Butler. Fans chanted Minshew’s name each time the offense took the field, and fans everywhere adorned fake mustaches and bandanas to mimic his signature look. Marcus Mariota got no style points in this one.

Porcupine: An unappreciated creature

auntering my way, the animal halted and gazed in my direction. It appeared uncertain about my status. Was I a threat? Or, was I anything at all? Pondering what the next move might be, the standoff commenced. It peered up at me with beady black eyes, on what was a rather small head for an otherwise stocky body. Blond streaks ran through its dark brown fur. A pair of stained yellow teeth were exposed below a short, brown nose that moved from side to side as it tried to catch my scent. I heard a faint clicking sound, which I interpreted as a warning to stay back. It reared up on a pair of squatty hind legs, providing me a view of some very impressive, long, curved claws. The most distinguishable feature was a phalanx of quills covering most of its body, excluding the feet, belly, and head. By now, you most likely guessed what stood before me was none other than the North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum). Porcupines are the second
Colin Canterbury Refuge Notebook
largest rodents in North America after the beaver. They typically weigh around 15 pounds, with some large males close to 30 pounds. With short stocky legs, long claws and a thick, muscular tail, they are adapted to climbing trees and clinging to branches. They have roughly 30,000 quills, with most lying flat along the back and tail. By contracting muscles near the skin, the quills can erect, protecting them from wouldbe attackers. Contrary to a common misconception, the quills are not thrown, but loose quills can fall off when thrusting its tail in defense. The quills are modified hairs with microscopic barbs on the tip that aid in lodging the quills farther into an antagonist’s flesh. The quills are coated with an antibiotic layer to prevent infection from self-quilling. In another line of defense, porcupines release olfactory
signals from a skin gland on the lower back called the rosette. When in distress, they secrete a pungent smell to warn predators to stay back or get whacked by a quill-laden tail. Many predators feast on porcupines, including bears, coyotes, lynx, American marten and great horned owls. The fisher is one predator that keys in on porcupines. By circling the porcupine as it tries to defend itself, the agile fisher is able to get around the defensive position of porcupines and deal lethal blows to the face. Weakened and brought to exhaustion, the fisher flips and consumes its prize. Porcupines are found from northern Mexico to the Arctic Ocean, typically inhabiting coniferous and mixed forests of the northeast and western United States and also spreading widely throughout Canada. They have been found in nonforested habitats varying from tundra to See REFUGE, Page A9

Conference opener against Kodiak. “We have a huge stretch at home here,” he said. “If we take of business, we get to host playoff game.”
Houston (5-0) at Nikiski (1-3), 5 p.m. Friday A big matchup awaits Nikiski this weekend as the reigning Peninsula Conference champions and currently undefeated Houston Hawks come into town for a Friday night show. The Bulldogs (1-0 conference) are fresh off a big road win over Ketchikan, which took a fourth-quarter touchdown and defensive play to escape with a 9-8 win. Both big plays finished in the hands of Nikiski senior Michael Eiter, who caught the go-ahead TD from Bulldogs QB Noah Litke, then hauled in the game-clinching interception with seconds to spare against the Kings, sealing the victory. Houston rolled Nikiski 34-8 last year. One season later, the strength of Houston’s undefeated season has been the defense, which has held opponents to just 6.8 points through five games. Nikiski’s offense has, on the other hand, has scored 9.7 points through

four games, a lot of which has been due to stalled drives and mistakes that have cost the team scoring opportunities.
Kodiak (0-5) at Soldotna (4-0), 2 p.m. Saturday The Stars roll into Week 6 as the No. 1 ranked team in the Alaska coaches poll, a spot SoHi has held all year thus far. Last week, SoHi downed the No. 2 ranked Lathrop Malamutes 51-14 in the team’s home opener. In their second home game of the year, the Stars will face what looks to be an easier battle against the winless Kodiak Bears, but in true form, head coach Galen Brantley Jr. said the Stars are not underestimating their NLC opponent. “We’ve been very successful by not looking ahead,” he said. “This is an important game for us, it’s a conference game, and it’s one of the games you have to win in order to solidify a playoff game.” Last year, SoHi blasted the Bears 57-16. In 2019, SoHi has outscored the opposition by an average of 37 points this season. Brantley Jr. said he expects the Stars to get off to another hot start Saturday if they can contain Kodiak’s single-wing offense that flaunts a lot of tricky misdirection plays. “I think it’ll be an opportunity for us to shore up some
things,” Brantley Jr. said. “They’ll put some pressure on you and control the clock if you’re not careful.”
Homer (2-2) at Seward (0-5), 2 p.m. Saturday Standing at 0-1 in Peninsula Conference play, the Mariners face a sizeable opportunity this weekend to notch their first conference win of the year. Zank cautioned against underestimating the winless Seahawks, which almost toppled Homer last year when the Mariners escaped with a 21-20 win. “Seward brings stuff to the table,” he said. “What they lack in numbers, they make up for in size and power. They have some kids that can lay some hits. They’re going to hit hard and we’ve got to be ready for that. “We’re looking to do business as usual.” Homer is coming off a big win in Valdez, where the Mariners blitzed the Bucs 52-6. Senior QB Anthony Kalugin passed for three touchdowns and ran for three more in a big day that Zank called a huge step for his signal caller. Kalugin leads the team in both passing and rushing yards in 2019 and accounts for 72% of the team’s offense. “Anthony’s starting to progress, he’s making better reads,” Zank said. “He’s made some good reads this week in
practice and he’s starting to develop a rapport. He’s had one with (receiver) Carter (Tennison), but now Cade (Hrenchir) is getting into the mix.” Zank said the emergence of several Homer ballcarriers and catchers has been the product of an improved pass protection from the team’s front line. “That was probably the best blocking we’ve done all season,” Zank said about the Valdez game.
Kenai (1-3) at Eagle River (3-2), 2 p.m. Saturday After falling 45-22 to Div. II opponent West Valley in their home opener last weekend, the Kardinals are back on the road to begin their NLC schedule against the Wolves. Eagle River broke out last year with a 5-2 regular season record en route to making the Division II championship game, where the Wolves lost to Soldotna. This year, the loss of a core group of seniors has left Eagle River struggling to recoup as the team got off to an 0-2 start this year, but the Wolves have shown a determined effort in rebounding with wins over North Pole, West Valley and Kodiak. Last year, the Kardinals lost 48-14 to Eagle River at home, the Wolves’ first win over Kenai in school history (1-3 overall against Kenai).
Yankees wear AL East crown By The Associated Press NEW YORK — The resilient New York Yankees powered their way to the club’s first AL East title since 2012, routing the Los Angeles Angels 9-1 Thursday night behind three RBIs each from old mainstay Brett Gardner and newcomer DJ LeMahieu. A day after wasting a chance to clinch first place, the homer-happy Yankees went ahead when LeMahieu hit a three-run drive in the second inning and breezed to their 100th win. Gardner added a solo shot in the fourth and then hit a two-run double in the sixth. Cameron Maybin and Clint Frazier homered for good measure in the eighth, and Aroldis Chapman struck out Albert Pujols to end it. Despite putting 30 players on the injured list this season, New York (100-54) wrapped up first place with eight games to spare and made Aaron Boone the first manager to win 100 games in each of his first two major league seasons.
BRAVES 5, PHILLIES 4 ATLANTA — Ronald Acuña Jr. became the secondyoungest player in baseball history to hit 40 homers in a season, Freddie Freeman also drove in two runs and Atlanta clinched at least a tie for first place in the NL East with a win over Philadelphia. The Braves hold a 9 1/2-game lead over the Washington Nationals, who
have played three fewer games and were off Thursday. Atlanta can officially celebrate as soon as Friday with either a victory over the San Francisco Giants or if Washington loses at Miami. The Phillies trail Milwaukee by four games in the race for the NL’s second wild-card spot.
CARDINALS 5, CUBS 4 CHICAGO — Matt Carpenter homered in the 10th inning against Craig Kimbrel in the All-Star closer’s return, and St. Louis regrouped after blowing a late lead to beat Chicago. Emerging ace Jack Flaherty shut down Chicago over eight innings, and despite a tying three-run rally in the ninth, the Cubs dropped a game behind Milwaukee for the second NL wild card and four games behind St. Louis for first place in the NL Central. Cubs slugger Anthony Rizzo provided a jolt in his unexpected return from a sprained right ankle, homering in the third inning to tie the game at 1. But Flaherty was spectacular otherwise, pitching three-hit ball while allowing just the one run and striking out eight.
BREWERS 5, PADRES 1 MILWAUKEE — Lorenzo Cain homered before exiting with a sore ankle, Milwaukee pitchers combined to strike out 16 and the Brewers
improved their playoff position by beating San Diego. Milwaukee moved within one game of Washington for the top NL wild-card spot. The Brewers are in the second wild-card slot and three games behind Centralleading St. Louis. Ryan Braun put Milwaukee ahead with an RBI double in the first inning off Joey Lucchesi (10-9). The Brewers added a run in the third when Keston Huira doubled and later scored on Lucchesi’s wild pitch.
TWINS 8, ROYALS 5 MINNEAPOLIS — Nelson Cruz hit two of Minnesota’s four home runs and matched his season high with five RBIs, igniting another impressive power display by the first-place Twins. The win over Kansas City kept the Twins’ American League Central lead at four games — with nine games to go.
INDIANS 7, TIGERS 0 CLEVELAND — Mike Clevinger pitched six shutdown innings, Franmil Reyes homered in his return to the lineup and Cleveland moved into a tie for the second AL wild card with a win over Detroit. Francisco Lindor added three hits, and Cleveland matched idle Tampa Bay at 90-63. Both teams trail Oakland by two games for the top spot. The Indians trail

RED SOX 5, GIANTS 4 BOSTON — Eduardo Rodriguez struck out 10 over six innings of two-hit ball, and Xander Bogaerts had a pair of RBI singles to lead Boston over San Francisco. Brandon Workman picked up his 15th save. Rodriguez (18-6) walked two and allowed one unearned run.
MARINERS 6, PIRATES 5 PITTSBURGH — Shed Long had three hits, two RBIs and scored the go-ahead run in the 11th on an unusual inning-ending double play as Seattle beat Pittsburgh. The Mariners swept the three-game series between last-place teams and sent the Pirates to their sixth straight loss. Long reached base on first baseman Jose Osuna’s error to start the 11th and Omar Narvaez singled with one out to put runners on the corners. Austin Nola then hit a chopper to second baseman Kevin Kramer — rather than flip the ball to second, he ran at Narvaez, who alertly stopped and began to retreat. Kramer then threw to first, and Narvaez was eventually tagged in a 4-3-6-2 rundown as Long scored. Kramer likely would’ve had no chance to throw home at the start to get Long.
BLUE JAYS 8, ORIOLES 4 BALTIMORE — Cavan Biggio homered and had three RBIs to offset a spectacular, homer-robbing catch by Austin Hays, and Toronto used a six-run seventh inning to beat Baltimore for a threegame sweep. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. also went deep for the Blue Jays, who earned their first sweep at Camden Yards since July 2010. After Biggio and Gurriel homered off Gabriel Ynoa (1-9) within a span of three pitches in the fourth inning, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. sent a drive to center. Hays ran to the warning track, leaped to reach over the 7-foot wall and snagged the ball in the middle of his glove. Upon returning to the ground, Hays pounded his chest three times in succession and yelled with delight. Anthony Kay (1-0) earned his first major league victory. Trey Mancini had four hits for the Orioles, who have lost four straight and 15 of 19.
CIA coed soccer gets 1st victory Staff Report Peninsula Clarion
The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team picked up its first win of the 2019 season Thursday with a 5-3 score over Nenana at the Kenai Soccer Complex. The Eagles and Lynx netted a combined six goals in a frantic first half, starting in the third minute with a strike from Noah Castenholz. CIA took a 4-0 lead on goals from Isaac Johnson in the 10th minute, Linnaea Dohse in the 17th and Johnson again in the 24th. Johnson finished the
day with two goals. Nenana got one back in the 33rd minute but the Eagles returned the favor just three minutes later with a score from Annika Castenholz, leading to a 5-1 halftime lead for CIA. A Nenana goal just a minute into the second half pulled the Lynx closer, and the Lynx tallied one last goal in the 80th minute, but it was too late for a comeback. Eagles head coach Kenny Leaf praised the defensive efforts of Eddie Erickson and Landon Vyhmeister. CIA returns Friday to face Su-Valley at 5 p.m. at the Kenai fields.
NHL middle class suffers under cap By Steven Whyno AP Hockey Writer
Stanley Cup-winning experience isn’t worth what it used to be. Neither is experience of any kind. As NHL teams move toward paying their stars more money and relying on young players to fill the gaps, hockey’s middle class is being squeezed out. Veterans like 2018 Washington Capitals playoff hero Devante Smith-Pelly are finding it increasingly difficult to land guaranteed contracts and are often forced to go to training camp on professional tryout agreements, which cover potential injuries at camp and not much else. Hockey perhaps more than any other professional sport has put a premium on veteran players over the years. Guys who have been there before, have some grey in their beards and are valued at least as much for team chemistry in the locker room as they are for what they do on the ice. Adding the salary cap in 2005 began the process of devaluing these so-called “glue guys” because there is only so much money to go
around. This year, that cap is $81.5 million for a team and there is no wiggle room — teams are not allowed to play if they are over the limit. “It’s sad because these veteran players are monumental to the team,” St. Louis Blues center Ryan O’Reilly said. “Especially these guys that have won, too, like Devante SmithPelly. He’s been in every situation. He’s a guy that you’d want to have because he’s going to help and he’s been in these situations. When it comes around again, it’s not going to faze him.” Smith-Pelly and Andrew MacDonald in Calgary, Troy Brouwer in Florida, Matt Read in Toronto and Drew Stafford in Minnesota are among the experienced NHL players on camp tryouts this year. Even more are settling for one-year, prove-it contracts like 2019 Cup winner Patrick Maroon (31 years old) and defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk (30) with Tampa Bay, Derick Brassard (31) with the New York Islanders, defenseman Ben Hutton (26) with Los Angeles and forward Riley Sheahan (27) with Edmonton.

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees star pitcher Domingo Germán was placed on administrative leave under Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy on Thursday, casting doubt over whether New York’s top winner this season will be available for the playoffs. Manager Aaron Boone was informed of the decision while he was driving to Yankee Stadium for a game against the Los Angeles Angels. New York won 9-1 to clinch its first AL East title since 2012. “Set baseball aside, this is a bigger issue, obviously,” Boone said. “When you hear the words domestic violence,

it’s one of those things that stops you in your tracks.” Details on what prompted the action weren’t disclosed. The leave may last up to seven days, barring an extension. The Yankees begin the AL playoffs on Oct. 4, likely at home. A 27-year-old righthander from the Dominican Republic who made his major league debut in 2017, Germán entered this season with a 2-7 record in 14 starts and 14 relief appearances.

Today in History Today is Friday, Sept. 20, the 263rd day of 2019. There are 102 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 20, 2001, during an address to a joint session of Congress, President George W. Bush announced a new Cabinet-level office to fortify homeland security and named Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge its director. On this date: In 1519, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and his crew set out from Spain on five ships to find a western passage to the Spice Islands. (Magellan was killed enroute, but one of his ships eventually circled the world.) In 1873, panic swept the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in the wake of railroad bond defaults and bank failures. In 1881, Chester A. Arthur was sworn in as the 21st president of the United States, succeeding the assassinated James A. Garfield. In 1958, Martin Luther King Jr. was seriously wounded during a book signing at a New York City department store when he was stabbed in the chest by Izola Curry. (Curry was later found mentally incompetent; she died at a Queens, New York, nursing home in 2015 at age 98.) In 1962, James Meredith, a black student, was blocked from enrolling at the University of Mississippi by Democratic Gov. Ross R. Barnett. (Meredith was later admitted.) In 1963, President Kennedy proposed a joint U-S-Soviet expedition to the moon. In 1976, Playboy magazine released an interview in which Democratic presidential nominee Jimmy Carter admitted he’d “looked on a lot of women with lust.” In 1984, a suicide car bomber attacked the U.S. Embassy annex in north Beirut, killing at least 14 people, including two Americans and 12 Lebanese. The family sitcoms “The Cosby Show” and “Who’s the Boss?” premiered on NBC and ABC, respectively. In 1995, in a move that stunned Wall Street, AT&T Corporation announced it was splitting into three companies. In 1999, Lawrence Russell Brewer became the second white supremacist to be convicted in the dragging death of James Byrd Jr. in Jasper, Texas. (Brewer was executed on September 21, 2011.) Raisa Gorbachev, wife of the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev (mih-kah-EEL’ gohr-bah-CHAHV’), died at a German hospital after a battle with leukemia; she was 67. In 2004, CBS News apologized for a “mistake in judgment” in its story questioning President George W. Bush’s National Guard service, saying it could not vouch for the authenticity of documents featured in the report. In 2017, Hurricane Maria, the strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico in more than 80 years, struck the island, wiping out as much as 75 percent of the power distribution lines and causing an island-wide blackout. Rescuers worked furiously at a collapsed school in Mexico City where a girl was believed trapped under debris in the aftermath of a deadly earthquake; it was later determined that no children were still trapped in the debris. Ten years ago: Blanketing most of the Sunday TV news shows, President Barack Obama said requiring people to get health insurance, and fining them if they didn’t, would not amount to a backhanded tax increase. At the Emmy Awards, best drama and comedy series trophies went to repeat winners “Mad Men” and “30 Rock.” The first game at the Cowboys Stadium set an NFL regular-season attendance record with a crowd of 105,121, and most of them went home disappointed after the New York Giants won, 33-31. Five years ago: Turkish authorities reported freeing 49 hostages held by the militant Islamic State group without firing a shot, paying a ransom or offering a quid pro quo. Emmy-winning actress and singer Polly Bergen, 84, died in Southbury, Connecticut. One year ago: A woman working a temporary job at a drugstore warehouse in Maryland opened fire on colleagues, killing three before taking her own life.

to talk about his potential trade. “Today was their day. Everybody got a piece of it. I was excited to see those guys have a huge game.” The Jaguars played well enough to win at Houston last week, especially on the defensive side, but came up inches short on a 2-point
conversion and lost 13-12. Ramsey then gut-punched a franchise already reeling from the loss of Foles by requesting a trade hours after the loss to the Texans. He asked to get out following his sideline confrontation with coach Doug Marrone. Ramsey later insisted he
didn’t want to be a distraction. He wasn’t, at least not on the field. The Jaguars enjoyed a 14-point lead in the first quarter for the first time since Week 2 of last season against New England and just the third time in the last five seasons.
foods. Courtship and mating generally take place in late autumn. Males venture out of their home territory in search of females in heat. The female releases an odorous mucus along with urine to attract potential suitors. Upon finding a female, the male may have to wait days for her to ovulate. The male positions himself on a lower tree branch and routinely sprays the female with urine to accelerate estrus. While guarding her, other males may be drawn in by the female, in which case fierce battles may ensue with males biting and quilling each other with risk of serious injury or death. Seven months after mating, females give birth to a single “porcupette,” seldom two. The newborn’s quills are
soft but start to harden within an hour. During winter, porcupines den in areas that provide adequate protection from the elements, such as hollowedout tree trunks and crevices in rocks. They do not hibernate but venture out to feed on nearby trees. Normally solitary animals, the dens may be occupied with other porcupines for increased warmth. There is a long history of Alaska Natives using quills for designs and decoration. Athabaskans of the Interior still utilize quills to adorn clothing, earrings and other forms of artwork. Being relatively slow-moving and easy to chase down, they also provided a valuable food source when other game was scarce.
With the occasional quilling of a pet, demise of a tree by girdling or damage to human structures and supplies by chewing, they are often viewed as a pest. But as I sat and watched the massive rodent feeding before me, I came away quite captivated by it. They seem to be another animal that is just a bit unappreciated. Finally, determining that I was no threat, it passed by, digging up and consuming some roots before climbing over a rocky knob and out of sight.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars Happy Birthday for Friday, Sept. 20, 2019:
one who understands you. Tonight: Make it your treat.
This year, you break past some established patterns, some of which exist for no reason. Taking the time to evaluate your belief system is always important, but especially so this year. If you are single, you delight in what is going on around you. Several admirers express their caring. Do you know how you feel about them? Be smart, and do not commit until you are sure of yourself. If you’re attached, the two of you remain strongly connected. GEMINI takes charge often, which could irritate you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Reach out to others. Do not start a hassle if you can avoid it. Express your caring and you find that the day flows more as you would like. A vital conversation becomes a strong possibility. Finally, you get to clear the air. Tonight: Celebrate the weekend.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Listen to your inner voice about a money decision. You could be inclined to indulge, so establish your limits before there is a problem. You know what you want. You decide to discuss your desires with
HHHH You are full of energy, content and ready to take a stand. Someone you care about expresses his or her affectionate nature. You might be flattered but want to maintain more distance. Tonight: Time for fun and games.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH You might be more comfortable assuming a low profile. The less said, the better off you are. You might want to keep your opinions to yourself in order to avoid some type of raucous situation. Tonight: Opt to vanish and tease someone’s curiosity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Emphasis is on friendships, crowds and meetings. You seem to benefit at present from groups rather than from individuals. Somehow, the consensus of opinions will be pro you, no matter what the topic. Tonight: The fun has just begun.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Stay on top of what needs to be done. You will feel as if you
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
cannot get past a problem if you respond quickly and with authority. An open conversation could prove very helpful. Tonight: All eyes turn toward you.
Thursday’s answers, 9-19
HHH Be aware of what you need to get done and what you do not want to do. Even with this attitude, you will clear out a lot of errands and mini-projects, leaving a clean desk for the weekend. Tonight: Out with cohorts. TGIF.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your mind seems to be wandering to different topics and ideas. Your biggest problem is staying present in the moment. Others who might be conversing with you could feel offended or less than cared about by your drifting mind. Tonight: Make nice.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your creativity amuses a child or loved one. What starts out as a little idea could spin out to a major project. You have the rare ability to focus on several items, one after the other. An associate or friend delights you with his or her laughter. Tonight: Allow the fun to begin.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH One-on-one relating draws others’ attention. You could be focused on one person and only one person. Do not allow other situations or people distract you. The other parties might want some of your time. Tonight: Be a duo.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You still feel mounting pressure and cannot find a way to calm down and relax. Your ability to see through a problem and understand where others are coming from soars. Others appreciate your ability to identify and empathize. Tonight: The action is at your pad.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Defer to others when in a discussion. It appears that several people want to express their opinions, and they have a lot of them. Be a good listener. You might be informed of some information or gossip that is new to you! Tonight: Say yes to an adventure.

A common language Dear Heloise: Please tell your readers that if they are going to a foreign country, it’s always wise to learn a few COMMON PHRASES in that country’s language, such as “Thank you,” “Where is the restroom?” and “Do you know where (___) is located?” A few simple phrases can make your trip easier and even help you make friends in a foreign country. — Gina J., High Point, N.C.
Mail theft Dear Heloise: My neighborhood has had an incident of mail theft, which involved several homes. I informed the mail carrier, post office and the homeowners association. This is what I was told: * Occasionally, a piece of mail may go astray, but if it keeps happening, start investigating. * Beware of a phony change of address. Thieves have begun to use phony change-of-address cards at the post office. The U.S. Postal Service will send

you a letter of validation to make sure it was YOU who requested the new address. * If mail goes missing, alert your neighbors and homeowners association. You also will need a paper trail, so fill out paperwork with the police. Be sure to set a fraud alert with Equifax, Experian or TransUnion. * Consider going paperless and getting as much of your mail online as possible. Mail theft places your finances, home and identity in jeopardy. — Rich in Houston
Backpacks and subways Dear Heloise: I wish people would remove their backpacks or move them to the front of their body while riding on a subway or train. It’s rude and annoying to wear a backpack while on public transportation because it bumps into people. — Martin B., Ellwood City, Pa.
