Residents warned of bear encounters KODIAK — Alaska residents were warned to be aware of Kodiak bears after multiple sightings and encounters were reported near residential areas, wildlife authorities said.

Alaska Wildlife Troopers confirmed at least three bears could be recognized as frequent visitors to areas inside Kodiak city limits on Kodiak Island, Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Friday.

A bear was seen Wednesday night walking toward the docks by King’s Diner near the Kodiak Police Department station, authorities said.

Kodiak bears often break fences and gates and enter vehicles in search of food, troopers said.

“The idea that one of the bears can open vehicles is something that hasn’t happened in the past,” Sgt. Todd Mountain said. “Bears are smart.

They learn. If the door is unlocked they will grab (the door handle) with their teeth.”

Although this is a normal occurrence in other areas, it is new in Kodiak, Mountain said.

Kodiak bears are a subspecies of brown bears and are known as the largest bears in the world, wildlife officials said.

Residents are urged to carry pepper spray and bells especially when hiking, walking a dog in the dark or on foggy days with low visibility, authorities said.

“Surprising a bear is probably the biggest danger. If you make noise, for the most part the bear knows you’re there,” Mountain said.

“A large majority of the time, bears don’t want to be in the same space with you either. They are a wild animal and will do what they can to get out of danger.”

Voters largely skip municipal elections

By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

Less than a quarter of registered voters cast their ballot for this year’s municipal election.

The voter turnout this year was 18.03%, Borough Clerk Johni Blankenship told the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly at their Tuesday meeting.

While this year’s turnout wasn’t far off from last year’s, which saw 18.7% of registered voters vote, this year’s turnout is the lowest in more than five years. In 2012, the turnout was just over 13%.

In 2017, during a mayoral election, the turnout was nearly doubled at 33.6%.

This year, seven out of 29 precincts had a voter turnout of 20% or higher, Blankenship

As climate series wraps up, focus is on solutions

On the hunt for pumpkins

A child gets her face painted Saturday at the fourth annual Fall Pumpkin Festival at Millennium Square in Kenai. A crisp, autumn breeze greeted crowds as the festival returned with a variety of activities to choose from, including hay rides, scarecrows, a petting zoo and food vendors, while live music entertained the crowd. The event also saw the debut of a hay maze and pumpkin pick, which allowed children to find their favorite pumpkin and paint it.

The seventh and final event in the Drawdown: Book to Action Climate Series will culminate with the group’s top solutions for responding to a changing climate.

The series, hosted by Cook Inletkeeper and KenaiChange, has hosted six meetings over the last several months. Each meeting uses the book “Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming” as a jumping off point for community members to discuss and brainstorm local solutions to climate change.

“We will be reviewing and evaluating the solutions we have brainstormed over the past six months and voting on our first solution to implement at the local level,” the event’s announcement said.

Each meeting has dived into different topics like food and agriculture, transportation, land use, energy and others.

Kaitlin Vadla, Cook Inletkeeper, said that numerous ideas for solutions have come See climate, Page A9

No confidence vote, delay shake up UA

By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

University of Alaska President Jim Johnsen on Thursday released a video where he acknowledged his role in contributing to a “fractured” university system. In the video Johnsen says that he has been able to reflect on his management of the restructuring process.

“What I’ve learned is that I stayed in that crisis mode that I was in over the spring and summer, trying to fight

off that huge budget cut, and I didn’t adjust to our new, still urgent, reality,” Johnsen said in the video.

The video was released after an emergency meeting Monday where the University of Alaska Board of Regents voted to delay consideration of consolidating the university system into a single accredited university.

At the meeting, the regents held a closed door executive session where it decided to halt the consolidation process until after UA Fairbanks had completed its accreditation process

in 2021, as well as to suspend the academic review processes that had been taking place systemwide.

The restructuring process began after the administration of Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced massive cuts to the state budget, originally proposing $136 million cut from the UA system. In August, Dunleavy signed an agreement with the Board of Regents which would cut only $70 million and over a three-year period. In exchange, the regents agreed to a number of cost-cutting

measures such as increased online classes and reduction of administrative overhead.

The decision to halt consolidation came following a Sept. 30 letter to the Regents and Johnsen from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), the local accrediting agency, expressing concern at the manner in which the University of Alaska’s restructuring was taking place.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Saturday stood behind personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, one of his highest-profile and most vocal defenders, amid reports that federal prosecutors in the city Giuliani led as mayor are eyeing

him for possible lobbying violations.

Behind the scenes, however, many of Trump’s closest aides and advisers, inside and outside the White House, quietly wish the president would cut ties with Giuliani, whose leadership of New York after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks earned him worldwide admiration and the moniker of “America’s mayor.”

Giuliani was a force in Trump’s defense during the lengthy Russia

investigation by the special counsel.

Yet the effort to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller led Giuliani to Ukraine, which now entangles the former federal prosecutor and mayor in legal jeopardy and is central to the danger threatening the presidency he labored to protect.

The New York Times reported Friday, citing a pair of anonymous sources familiar with the matter, that the investigation is linked to Giuliani’s

efforts to undermine Marie Yovanovitch, formerly the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan has declined to comment on the Times report.

Two Florida businessmen with ties to Giuliani were charged Thursday with federal campaign finance violations. Both played key roles in Giuliani’s efforts to get Ukraine See trump, Page A8

A hobby of a lifetime: ‘Clay on Display’ returns

A clay sculpture by Bryan Olds sits on display at the Clay on Display exhibit.

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

Like the leaves changing colors, the return of “Clay on Display” at the Kenai Fine Arts Center is just as anticipated this time of year.

The October exhibit hosted by the Potter’s Guild runs to the end of the month and features a plethora of finely sculpted pottery pieces from peninsula artists.

Potter’s Guild President Debbie Adamson said the event, which dates back to 1984, is an important yearly exhibition for the Potter’s Guild, the Kenai Fine Art Center and the individual potters.

“There are a good variety of pieces that appeal to everyone that comes,” Adamson said. “Not only is there functional pottery but there are different kinds.

Its diversity, for one thing, is amazing.”

Many of the items at “Clay on Display” are for sale, with most of the proceeds going back to the individual artist. Adamson said any money brought in helps in small ways to keep the studio going.

“Pottery is kind of an expensive hobby to get into,” she said.

“It’s very rewarding. I think that anybody that comes in and takes classes will enjoy it. It’s something that you can do for a lifetime if you wish.”

The Potter’s Guild is a co-op studio, meaning it is open to the public to use for classes. Most other major studios in Alaska are privately owned.

From 2008 through 2017, data showed 8% of calls about sexual assaults against adults resulted in arrests with charges filed.

Nome is quitting after 13 months on the job.

Chief Bob Estes will end his contract within the next 90 days.

Estes said the department has made improvements but noted the loss of personnel in the last year “continues to be a challenge on the backlog of cases.”

Nome officials didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking the number of officers who have quit in the last year.

An AP investigation into complaints by Alaska Native women from Nome and surrounding villages showed their reports of sexual assault were not investigated aggressively by the city’s police.

Officer charged with misdemeanor assault ANCHORAGE — State prosecutors have charged a 32-year-old Anchorage police officer with two counts of misdemeanor assault in the arrest of a man for bicycle violations.

Anchorage police say Officer Cornelius Aaron Pettus is on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

Online court documents do not list his attorney and attempts to reach him Friday were not immediately successful.

Police say Pettus just after 10:30 p.m. Sept. 30 stopped a man for

said the open nature of the pottery studio has helped keep the event alive in Kenai.

“Our mission is to promote the art of pottery,” Faeo said. “I’m a personal advocate of using pottery as a way to make a living.”

Adamson said the guild not only encourages anyone to try the art of pottery, but also teaches proper techniques and safety guidelines while using the kiln and wheel.

Adamson said safety work also includes how to avoid inhaling

harmful clay dust while working.

Faeo said having a co-op studio is a huge benefit to not only the guild, but the community as a whole.

“It’s a real asset in the community to have a studio and gas kiln,” she said. “The whole studio is worth about $50,000 at least, with the gas kiln and the equipment.”

“For so many of us, it’s something we absolutely love, especially in the winter,” Adamson

added. “It’s therapy. You get out with your friends. It’s just a wonderful thing, especially for some of us who are retired, it gives us something meaningful to do.”

Many, but not all, of the pottery pieces are listed with a price tag, meaning anyone who fancies a piece of work can purchase it straight from the artist.

“I like to encourage potters to sell their stuff,” Faeo said. “It’s a small business, and supporting local artists is a good thing.”

Pettus contacted the man again at the man’s home to issue citations.

Police say the officer “used forced to gain compliance” and arrested the man.

A supervisor reviewed the use of force and police launched an investigation.

in shared governance in a meaningful way. Johnsen has been running things from the top, which is against NWCCU regulations.”

Lack of involvement of faculty and staff was cited in the NWCCU letter as an area of concern.

“We also respectfully urge you to continue to create a space for inclusive dialogue as the Board of Regents deliberates on the future structure of the University of Alaska System,” the letter states.

Downing told the Empire that the academic review process had been a source of concern for faculty and students.

“There was a single faculty member to represent multiple disciplines,” Downing said. “They’re supposed to be checking with faculty for suggestions but (one faculty member) doesn’t ensure representation.”

Board of Regents Chair John Davies released a statement Monday saying that

the board had made its decision “now that circumstances have changed.” In the statement, Davies said “we are committed to work diligently to resolve NWCCU’s concerns and to rebuild the trust that has been damaged in this difficult fight for survival.”

Downing said that he and the faculty senate at UAA were not necessarily swayed

by Johnsen’s video.

“He’ll need to have an ongoing commitment to inclusive decision making,” Downing said. “It’s been an issue for some time and we think we’re going to have to see a different approach.”

University of Alaska Southeast Chancellor Rick Caulfield told the Empire in an email Friday that UAS completed its accreditation process in June and had received a positive report from NWCCU. Caulfield said that the university had not yet made any decisions regarding

program review and that those processes were just beginning.

“UAS is moving forward with such reviews, focusing on ways of enhancing, consolidating, or streamlining programs and reducing costs,” Caulfield said in the email. He said that results of the reviews would be done, “no later than early 2020.”

Asked if he shared concerns about Johnsen’s leadership, Caulfield said, “President Johnsen has acknowledged publicly that the speed of the proposed restructuring had contributed to fracturing of university support, that he has reflected on his role in that process and learned from it, and that he is committed to an inclusive process moving forward.”

The Board of Regents plans to meet again toward the end of October, according to the Associated Press. Johnsen could not be reached for comment Friday.

What others say

Encryption plan puts privacy, security on collision course

F

acebook wants to pivot to privacy, but there’s a new obstacle in its path: Attorney General William P. Barr.

Mr. Barr and other law enforcement officials in the United States, Britain and Australia are asking the technology company to scrap its much-touted plan to make all of its messaging services end-to-end encrypted by default, BuzzFeed reported last week. The move is likely the first salvo in a broader fight against programs that put users’ communications out of government’s reach — a trend that Mr. Barr this summer called “unacceptable” and “exceptionally dangerous.”

But leaving consumers’ information unprotected is dangerous, too. The officials say in their letter that they support a “means for lawful access,” otherwise known as a “backdoor” for authorities to enter when they come knocking with a warrant. The problem is, a door for U.S. authorities could be a door for everyone else. And everyone else wants in.

Services such as WhatsApp operate with a universal code, which means the moment the United States is offered a security workaround, the leaders of countries far less free will start asking for similar treatment.

Egypt, the New York Times recently reported, has been conducting sophisticated cyberattacks on its opposition politicians and civil society. Devices can be altered for individual markets, but that doesn’t mean building intentional vulnerabilities is wise. Last week, Microsoft revealed that the Iranian government had attempted to breach email accounts belonging to a U.S. presidential campaign. Create a “golden key” for the good guys here, and hackers might find ways to unlock whatever they wish.

Mr. Barr’s concerns are legitimate. Criminals take advantage of these systems to conduct their business in the dark, and some of that business, such as child exploitation imagery, is repugnant. There is a tradeoff between security and safety. But the tradeoff need not be absolute. Even with encryption, there are ways to gather evidence, and there could be areas for compromise beyond the debate over a backdoor.

Solutions might vary depending on the abuse being targeted, and each possibility comes with narrower tradeoffs of its own. Forwarding limits could stop disinformation from going viral; filtering tools could conceivably allow users to reject flagged material from being sent to them or prevent some material from being sent altogether. Some believe the way forward for criminal investigations is to permit court-compelled device unlocking for suspects in custody; others believe lawful hacking is the answer. But preventing end-to-end encryption entirely would be a mistake.

alaska voices | Rich Moniak

The inevitable impeachment our Founders never envisioned D onald Trump will likely become the third American president impeached by the House of Representatives. It’s a not coup, or an attempt to undo the democratic results of the 2016 election. Those are nothing more than Trump’s talking point defense.

But the spectacle being broadcast from our nation’s capital isn’t remotely close to remedy for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” envisioned by our Constitution.

Our founders would also be stunned by Trump’s demands that the whistleblower’s identity be exposed.

Doing so not only violates the law, it tramples on a tradition they unanimously endorsed a decade before the Constitution was ratified.

In July, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution declaring July 30 “National Whistleblower Appreciation Day.” It aimed to ensure “that the Federal Government implements the intent of the Founding Fathers, as reflected in the legislation” enacted on that date in 1778. That law declared “the duty of all persons in the service of the United States” was to report “any misconduct, frauds or misdemeanors committed by any officers or persons in the service of these states, which may come to their knowledge.”

That’s exactly what the whistleblower believed had happened during a phone call between Trump and the Ukrainian president and the subsequent handling of the call transcript.

The Trump appointees who reviewed complaint believe the whistleblower acted in good faith.

Trump and his defenders don’t

see it that way. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, said it seems “like a political setup.” And Trump wants everyone to believe the whistleblower is “highly partisan,” has a “conflict of interest and involvement with a Democrat Candidate” and “should be exposed and questioned properly.”

Aside from the fact that neither of them knows who the whistleblower is, any party member complaining about another person’s political bias is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. More to the point though, it’s a dereliction of duty when any White House or Congressional staffer witnesses serious misconduct but doesn’t report it because they want to protect their boss and/or their party.

Now Trump’s attorney has gotten into the act. In an eight-page letter explaining why he won’t cooperate, Pat Cipollone wrote the “highly partisan” House inquiry “violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process” and “basic rights guaranteed to all Americans,” including the rights to cross-examine witnesses and call witnesses.

That’s not a valid legal argument.

The inquiry is not a trial. It’s the fact-finding stage of an investigation. If articles of impeachment are presented to the full House, their vote to impeach is like a grand jury indictment. It would be at the Senate trial that the Republican majority can ensure those basic rights are respected.

Trump won’t complain about that chamber’s partisan bias leaning his way. It won’t matter to him that senators like Graham have already failed their constitutional duty by arguing

the president hasn’t done anything wrong before they’ve been presented with the full evidence.

If this were a real trial, it’s not only their party membership that would disqualify every Senator from serving on the jury. The publicity surrounding this circus has tainted everyone.

The founders didn’t ratify the impeachment clause expecting this kind of chaos could occur. Because in their day, newspapers and word of mouth were the main sources of information.

News traveled too slow to turn a constitutional crisis into daily fodder depicting two vastly different political realities as we’re seeing today.

We’d be here even if Trump had lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016. Indeed, two months before the election, Republican Congressman Mo Brooks of Alabama suggested an impeachment inquiry into her missing emails was justified. And if she refused to comply with Republican subpoenas about that, or inquiries about Uranium One and the infamous Steele dossier, that alone would have been cause to impeach her before the 2018 midterm election.

In response to Cipollone’s letter, Democrats ought to abandon the rule changes unilaterally implemented by the House Republican majority in 2015. They should ask the full House to vote on commencing with the inquiry. Once that resolution passes, they can issue their subpoenas. And if Trump refuses to comply, every member of Congress should stand by their oath to defend the Constitution, impeach him and remove him from office.

guest editorial | Amanda Price

Domestic violence will never be tolerated H

e is the monster under my bed, saboteur of my dreams. His résumé includes schoolteacher, felon and, more recently, retired country “gentleman.” He is a specter of my past, a stalker who lurks within waiting to spring into view and set my heart pounding. He is the Devil at my doorstep, progenitor of my greatest fears. Most poignantly, though, his blood is my own. He is my father.

Only last week I was startled awake after 3 a.m. by a houserattling “bang!” It was him. He was in the hallway outside my closed bedroom door, beating my mother. My mother screamed and, smothered by darkness and too terrified to move I cowered beneath my blankets, trembling as I had so many times more than 45 years before.

Forty-five years?

Ridiculous.

The impulse is to sneer and shout: Let it go already! Take responsibility for your life and move on, for Christ’s sake. Stop blaming your father. Be a man.

Perhaps those jeers are his; the voice delivering them, after all, sounds familiar. But the fear is embedded deeply within, like a virus. And it’s not going away. Ever. The heart-racing

terror I felt in the wee hours last Tuesday was as sheer and stark as any imaginable. The roars and screams, the breaking glass and panic of decades ago were not nightmares. They were real.

That is how a colleague of mine — a professionally successful and well-regarded associate, and a middle-aged survivor of domestic violence — described a recent nightmare. Similar frightening dreams, once common, haunt him less frequently now, he says.

But the scars remain. And the horrors reflected above, along with others far worse, will remain with him — and his mother, and his sister — forever. Healing from domestic violence is a lifelong endeavor.

Physical, verbal, and emotional abuse in domestic relationships is endemic to Alaska — our cities, suburbs, and rural areas — and prevalent nationwide. Each year, millions of Americans are threatened, beaten, or sexually assaulted in their own homes by family members or domestic partners. Victims include women (59% of adult women in Alaska experience intimate partner or sexual violence in their lifetimes); children (nationally, 1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year, and

90% of them are eyewitnesses to this violence); and men (1 in 4 men nationwide have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner).

These survivors are the walking wounded of an undercurrent that spans all cultures and corners of our society. There is no community, gender, nor race spared. The ripple effects may crippling and long-lasting.

Children who witness or experience violence in their homes are at a higher risk of substance abuse, incarceration, depression, health issues, and suicide.

Often, well-intended words are spoken or put to paper that talk about changing the societal acceptance, ending domestic violence, and supporting survivors. The question is, how can we halt a blight that has smoldered behind closed doors for decades?

Changing societal acceptance in Alaska requires collaborative partnerships. The real actions needed are more efforts with a targeted eye on supporting victims and keeping Alaskans safe. Under this administration, the following partnerships and actions are underway: More federal funds than ever before have been awarded by

Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CDVSA), — a council within DPS — to 26 emergency shelter and victim services programs throughout Alaska, from Emmonak, to Craig, to Kotzebue, to Nome and more.

New funding is being released from the CDVSA to support Child Advocacy Centers, trauma informed child victim mental health and legal support services.

Six million dollars will be released to rural communities

by DPS in partnership with the federal government to improve public safety infrastructure like holding facilities, office space for peace officers.

More troopers have been hired in the last 10 months than have been brought on during hiring cycles for more than a decade.

(DPS anticipates even more troopers, another 50, will be hired in calendar year 2020).

Laws to protect victims and hold offenders accountable were passed, and a repeal of the catch and release, offender friendly SB 91 was finally realized.

All backlogged sexual assault kits, including those collected decades ago, will be processed by September 2021.

A prosecutor and an investigator dedicated to cold

cases have been hired to bring justice to families related to the previously unprocessed sexual assault kits.

In the last nine months, three arrests were made in conjunction to decades old missing/murdered cases in which the victims were women Despite this great work underway, there is so much more to be done. Let’s make this October — which Gov. Dunleavy proclaimed as Domestic Violence Awareness Month — the beginning of a new age. The challenges Alaska faces are real but not insurmountable.

To my colleague, who bravely and selflessly shared his own personal and real time story and trauma of domestic violence — thank you. To every survivor who marches, lobbies, writes letters, shares their story and takes it steps further by fighting in communities to across the state to keep yourselves and your neighbors safe — thank you. You matter. YOU matter. Let’s work together, every community, every group, every neighborhood, every person, to make it clear that domestic violence will never be tolerated.

Amanda Price is the commissioner of the Department of Public Safety.

Behind the ‘perfect’ call An anatomy of the phone conversations now imperiling President Donald Trump.

By Deb Riechmann Associated Press

WASHINGTON — There were dozens of ears listening to President Donald Trump’s 30-minute phone call with the leader of Ukraine that is at the center of a House impeachment inquiry , and as many eyes that saw what he said.

White House staffers, working in the secure, soundproof Situation Room in the West Wing basement, listened in and chronicled the conversation . National Security Council personnel edited a memo written about the call. White House lawyers, according to a government whistleblower, directed that the memo be uploaded into a highly restricted classified computer network. And there were the staffers whose keystrokes on a computer made that happen.

They represent a universe of people, little known outside their vital circle of national security officials, who can either support or disavow the whistleblower’s account. Their roles could well become more public as the impeachment investigation unfolds and Congress seeks additional witnesses.

Some staffers involved with the call still work at the White House; others have left. But what was thought to be a routine conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy turned into anything but that, when Trump asked him to investigate Ukraine’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election and the activities of Democratic political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

30 minutes that changed the Trump presidency By the time staffers in the Situation Room got the president of Ukraine on the phone at 9:03 a.m., Trump had just finished firing off tweets claiming complete vindication from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony the day before about the Russia investigation. On the call, Trump was first to speak. He showered the 41-year-old Ukrainian, a novice politician and former comedian, with praise following his party’s victory in parliamentary elections. Zelenskiy chatted about how he wanted to “drain the swamp” in Kyiv and how he wished the European Union would provide more financial support. He told Trump that Ukraine was ready to buy more Javelin anti-tank missiles from the United States.

The next 10 words that came out of Trump’s mouth — “I would like you to do us a favor, though” — are what triggered the House impeachment inquiry that has imperiled his presidency.

Trump asked Zelenskiy to work with Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr to look into Biden and his son, who served on the board of a Ukrainian gas company. Trump says it was an innocent, “perfect” call. But some White House staffers, worried that Trump seemed to be asking Ukraine for dirt on Biden, sounded alarms. They suggested the memorandum of the call — “telcon” for short — be transferred into a restricted server, usually reserved for documents about covert operations.

Evan Vucci / Associated Press

President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally Friday at the Lake Charles Civic Center in Louisiana.

Before the call This call, as well as others Trump has had with foreign leaders, was unusual in other ways, too. In past administrations, top foreign policy officials routinely briefed a president in person right before a call and provided written materials as well.

A former U.S. ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul worked at the NSC during the Obama administration and helped write briefs to prepare for dozens of calls with Russian leaders, including Vladimir Putin.

“Judging from the content of the Trump-Zelenskiy call, Trump was not reading talking points,” McFaul said. “No one on our team ever would have prepared a call package prompting Obama to ask for a personal favor that would help him win reelection. I also doubt that Trump’s NSC staff would have written or cleared such a talking point for their boss.”

One individual with firsthand knowledge of how the Trump calls with foreign leaders are handled said the president “hates” such “pre-briefs” and frequently has refused to do them. Trump doesn’t like written background materials either, preferring to handle the calls himself, often in the morning from the residence. Occasionally, while on the phone with foreign heads of state, Trump has handed the receiver to his daughter, Ivanka Trump, so she can talk with the leader, according to this individual.

The person said a six-page prebrief with attachments was once prepared for Trump before a call to a foreign leader. But that turned out to be too long, as did a singlepage version. Preparing pre-brief note cards that offered about three talking points for Trump to make on a call was the norm, according to this person, who feared retribution for describing this process and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The individual said that when Trump is done with the note cards, he often rips them up and tosses them in a burn bag. Staff who handle records have had to retrieve the burn bags from the residence, put the papers out on a table and tape them back together to preserve them as official presidential records, this person said.

Run of the mill Calls between a president and a foreign leader typically start with U.S. intelligence officers detailed to the White House gathering in the Situation Room, a process that has been in place for decades, according to two people familiar with the operation in the Trump White House and past administrations. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss how Trump’s calls with foreign heads of state are handled.

During the Ukraine call, several others listened in. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Keith Kellogg, national security adviser for Vice President Mike Pence, were on the call. It’s unclear if they were at the White House or listened in on “drop” lines, secure hookups top officials can use from outside the White House.

Others who typically would have listened in would have been the president’s national security adviser, John Bolton, or his deputy, Charles Kupperman, who have both left the White House; the NSC’s director of Russia and Europe, who currently is Tim Morrison; the NSC’s Ukraine expert; and possibly someone from White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney’s office.

Lawyers who handle NSC issues include John Eisenberg and his deputy, Michael Ellis. It’s unclear what, if any, role Ellis played, but the former counsel for the House Intelligence Committee has been in the spotlight before.

The New York Times reported in March 2017 that he allowed his former boss, the then-committee chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., to review classified material at the White House, seeking to bolster Trump’s claim that he was wiretapped during the 2016 campaign on the orders of the Obama administration. The intelligence reports consisted primarily of ambassadors and other foreign officials talking about trying to develop contacts in the inner circle of then President-elect Trump. The report was not confirmed by The Associated Press.

The NSC declined to confirm who was on the call.

Down in the Situation Room, several others would have been listening. One person monitors the call to make sure the line is not interrupted. Others are tasked with documenting what is said. No audio recordings are made. The memorandum of the call, the telcon, which the White House has released, is the closest thing to a word-for-word transcript that is produced and is the official presidential record of the conversation.

“When I got to the Situation Room and my predecessor explained this incredibly inefficient process that we use, I had a lot of questions,” said Larry Pfeiffer, a 30-year U.S. intelligence veteran who managed the Situation Room during the Obama years. “I said ‘Why don’t we just record the call and write a transcript based on that?’”

Pfeiffer said his predecessor told him that the White House stopped taping presidential calls in the 1970s when President Richard Nixon recorded 3,700 hours of conversations, transcripts of which were used by Watergate

around the nation

investigators and during impeachment hearings that followed.

Pfeiffer said White House lawyers finally approved the idea of having a duty officer, wearing a headset, sit in a separate room, and repeat what was said on the call into voice-to-text software — again without creating any audio recording.

Individuals familiar with Trump White House procedure say one Situation Room staffer, using voice-to-text software, repeats each word the president says and another listens and repeats what the foreign leader says. The software turns the words they repeat into text and a rough draft of the telcon is produced.

That draft is given to subject matter specialists on the NSC, who edit the draft for accuracy.

Each draft is separately preserved.

After it’s finalized, it’s turned over to the national security adviser — Bolton, at the time — or the deputy, who was Kupperman, for their approval. White House lawyers also play a role in approving NSC documents.

After that, the telcon is given back to staffers tasked with preserving the document as a presidential record.

Whistleblower sounds off Somewhere during this sequence, people privy to the call questioned whether Trump was pressuring the Ukrainian leader to investigate the Bidens. Trump has denied that he did and publicly released the telcon recounting what was said on the call.

He released it after a whistleblower, a CIA officer, filed a complaint about the call with the intelligence community’s inspector general. “In the days following the phone call, I learned from multiple U.S. officials that senior White House officials had intervened to lock down” all records of the phone call, the whistleblower wrote. “This set of actions underscored to me that White House officials understood the gravity of what had transpired in the call.”

The unidentified whistleblower — one of two who have come forward — said White House lawyers directed that the telcon be taken off a computer server where classified documents on foreign leader calls are normally kept.

They directed it be transferred to a computer network with restricted access for documents about covert operations or other highly sensitive information. The telcon, which was classified as secret, did not contain anything remotely sensitive from a national security perspective.

One of the two people familiar with how foreign leader calls are handled in the Trump White House said putting a document classified only as “secret” into a server holding very highly classified information is not against any rule, but is a means of “leak prevention.”

That person also said it wasn’t common practice to put telcons into the more restrictive server, but that around the same time Bolton became national security adviser in the spring of 2018, it became standard not to share the telcons with the State Department, the national intelligence director and the Pentagon.

Those officials were told that if they wanted to see them, they could read them the next time they were at the White House, the individual said.

Officials: 3 deaths tied to wildfires LOS ANGELES — Three people have died at the scene of Southern California wildfires this week, authorities said Saturday, as firefighters aided by diminishing winds beat back a blaze on the edge of Los Angeles that damaged or destroyed more than 30 structures and sent a blanket of smoke across a swath of neighborhoods.

Los Angeles officials said the fire in the city’s San Fernando Valley area hadn’t grown significantly since Friday, and ground crews were tamping down lingering hotspots.

Evacuation orders were being gradually lifted in parts of Los Angeles and in Riverside County, where a second blaze was burning. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti urged residents to be cautious returning home to neighborhoods where fire crews could still be operating.

In Los Angeles, one man who tried to fight the blaze died of a heart attack, and one firefighter reported a minor eye injury.

The fire’s cause is under investigation, and authorities warned that the threat of flare-ups remained.

Hotel collapse leaves 1 dead, 2 missing NEW ORLEANS — A large section of a Hard Rock Hotel under construction at the edge of New Orleans’ historic French Quarter collapsed Saturday amid blinding dust and flying debris, killing one person and injuring more than 20 as rescue workers rushed into what was left of the largely unstable building to locate two people still unaccounted for.

Nearby buildings were evacuated and a 270-foot (82-meter) construction crane — one of two still looming over the multistory building — also was dangerously unstable, fire officials said. “I heard a huge noise and thought it was a plane crashing,” said Sue Hurley, 68, a guest at a hostel just across the street that shuddered with the force of the explosion. Hurley said she was reminded of news accounts of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

WWL-TV aired and tweeted a viewer’s dramatic video of the collapse, showing upper floors falling on top of each other before one side of the building crashed to the ground.

Governor signs fur sale, circus animal bans SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products and the third to bar most animals from circus performances under a pair of bills signed Saturday

by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The fur law bars residents from selling or making clothing, shoes or handbags with fur starting in 2023.

Animal rights groups cheered the measure as a stand against inhumane practices. The proposal was vigorously opposed by the billiondollar U.S. fur industry, and the Fur Information Council of America has already threatened to sue.

It follows Newsom’s signing of legislation that makes California the first state to outlaw fur trapping and follows bans on sales of fur in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

“California is a leader when it comes to animal welfare, and today that leadership includes banning the sale of fur,” Newsom said in a statement.

Caravan of 2,000 migrants detained in southern Mexico

By Isabel Mateos, Benjamin Alfaro and Amy Guthrie

They left their home countries sometimes because of violence, or simply in search of a better life.

“I want to pass through Mexico, I don’t want to live here,” said Amado Ramirez, a migrant from Honduras who said he had been living on the streets of Tapachula with his young children and wife, hoping for a transit visa from Mexican officials.

“We’re at a standstill.”

Men carried large, sagging backpacks while women carried children on their shoulders and parcels on their heads.

The group trudged about 24 miles northwest along a highway under the supervision of human rights officials before a large contingent of federal police and national guardsmen blocked their path. Some ran,

Associated Press

TAPACHULA, Mexico — Mexican officials broke up a caravan of around 2,000 migrants that had set out from southern Mexico Saturday in the hopes of reaching the United States, amid increasing difficulty obtaining permission to pass through Mexico.

Many of the migrants who departed from Tapachula, Chiapas early in the morning had been held up in this city just north of Guatemala for weeks or months, awaiting residency or transit papers from Mexican authorities. The migrants are originally from Central America, Africa and the Caribbean.

while others turned themselves over to authorities.

“This caravan no longer exists,” said migrant rights advocate Irineo Mujica, who was trying to help a migrant from the caravan locate a child when he spoke to The Associated Press.

Hundreds of African migrants, in particular, have been stuck for months in Tapachula, where they say immigration authorities have stalled on giving them residency or transit papers. Almost all of them want to seek asylum in the United States, rather than stay in Mexico.

The migrants have engaged in scuffles with police at the Tapachula immigration offices in recent weeks. Mexico says they can stay in southern Mexico, or leave by the

southern border, but the migrants want documents that will allow them to reach the northern border.

Mexico frequently repatriates, by plane, migrants from countries such as Cuba and Honduras.

However, deportations are more difficult for migrants from faraway countries in Africa, some of which lack the infrastructure to handle repatriations.

Maureen Meyer, director for Mexico and migrant rights at the Washington Office on Latin America, said that enforcement around Tapachula has made it very difficult for migrants to head north undetected. Hence the decision to strike out en masse Saturday. “What you had were thousands of people that were feeling very much trapped in

Tapachula,” she said.

Under pressure from the U.S., Mexico has practically stopped issuing visas for migrants to pass through the country. Migrants marooned in Tapachula faced the option of turning back across Mexico’s southern border, trekking north clandestinely or applying for asylum in Mexico - a country that many feel is unsafe or unattractive because of language and cultural differences.

On Friday, a migrant from the African country of Cameroon was found dead after a fishing boat he was in capsized off the Pacific Coast northwest of Guatemala. Two more migrants were missing, while another seven men and a woman were brought to a hospital.

In Hong Kong, all trust gone between police, protesters

By John Leicester

Saturday chanted for the force to be disbanded.

Overall, Saturday’s rallies were lower-key and more peaceful than other far larger and more violent protests that have rocked the semiautonomous Chinese territory.

Riot police deployed but stayed far behind the day’s largest rally, which drew thousands of peaceful marchers in Kowloon.

Police said rioters tossing gasoline bombs damaged a subway station, but there was no repeat of the more intense destruction and battles between protesters and police that have spread across Hong Kong.

Still, restoring any semblance of trust between police officers and the 7.5 million people they are sworn to serve and protect is going to be a long, hard battle.

Demonstrators widely decry the force’s policing of the hundreds of protests that began in early June as thuggish, with more than 2,300 people arrested. Its liberal use of tear gas and what has become a familiar sight of officers in full riot gear pursuing young protesters and

HONG KONG — As a police van sped past them, the 90-year-old woman and her 60-year-old daughter raised their fists, pointed their thumbs very deliberately down and yelled, “Triads!”

That silver-haired women in Hong Kong no longer think twice about openly accusing officers of being in cahoots with mafia gangs shows how public trust in the city’s 30,000strong police force, once considered among the finest in Asia, has been catastrophically damaged in the storm of protest gripping the international business hub.

In trying to end the anti-government demonstrations, which broke out in multiple locations again on Saturday and are now in their fifth month, one of the most pressing problems to solve for Hong Kong leaders will be dispelling the now widespread public scorn for police officers. Protest graffiti likening officers to dogs and worse is all over the city, and protesters

making muscular, sometimes brutish arrests has come as a shock to a city that long prided itself on being safe.

“They beat the butts out of people,” said the 90-year-old woman, Cheng Liang Yu, who angrily shouted at the passing police van with her 60-yearold daughter, Dorothy Lau. One of Lau’s daughters is a parttime police officer. Lau has her photo, proudly saluting in her police uniform, stored on her cellphone.

But she was equally dismissive of the force her daughter serves.

“They’re too violent,” she said.

Together with another of Lau’s daughters, Liz Yuen, the women joined a protest of about 200 people, many of them retirees, outside the towering police headquarters in central Hong Kong on Saturday.

The peaceful rally held a minute’s silence for victims of what protesters described as police abuse.

Photos taped on the sidewalk showed X-rays of fractured bones that protesters alleged were broken in police custody.

Patrolling discreetly in their

midst, a handful of plainclothes police officers tried to break the ice.

They stopped traffic to allow elderly protesters, some with walking sticks, to cross a busy road to join the sit-in rally.

They also took heated verbal

abuse.

“The police and the triads are brothers!” yelled 75-year-old Chiu Shuitin, directing his anger directly at officers who shuffled silently away. “The police don’t protect us anymore!”

The Funny River Festival Committee sincerely thanks the contributors, donators, and volunteers who made our 25th Festival a success.

We could not have accomplished this without your support.

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

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

Skyview Middle School Events this week: Site Council Meeting: Monday, Oct. 14 — 3:30 p.m. at Skyview Early Release Day:

Today in History Today is Sunday, Oct. 13, the 286th day of 2019. There are 79 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 13, 1775, the United States Navy had its origins as the Continental Congress ordered the construction of a naval fleet.

On this date: In 1792, the cornerstone of the executive mansion, later known as the White House, was laid by President George Washington during a ceremony in the District of Columbia.

In 1845, Texas voters ratified a state constitution.

In 1943, Italy declared war on Germany, its one-time Axis partner.

In 1944, during World War II, American troops entered Aachen (AH’-kehn), Germany.

In 1960, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon held the third televised debate of their presidential campaign (Nixon was in Los Angeles, Kennedy in New York).

In 1962, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”, by Edward Albee, opened on Broadway.

In 1972, a Uruguayan chartered flight carrying 45 people crashed in the Andes; survivors resorted to feeding off the remains of some of the dead in order to stay alive until they were rescued more than two months later.

In 1974, longtime television host Ed Sullivan died in New York City at age 73.

In 1981, voters in Egypt participated in a referendum to elect Vice President Hosni Mubarak (HAHS’-nee mooBAH’-rahk) the new president, one week after the assassination of Anwar Sadat.

In 1999, the Senate rejected the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, with 48 senators voting in favor and 51 against, far short of the 67 needed for ratification.

In 2003, The U.N. Security Council approved a resolution expanding the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Afghanistan.

In 2010, rescuers in Chile using a missile-like escape capsule pulled 33 men one by one to fresh air and freedom 69 days after they were trapped in a collapsed mine a half-mile underground.

Ten years ago: The United Nations Security Council voted unanimously to extend the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti for a year. Singer Al Martino, who’d played crooner Johnny Fontane in “The Godfather” and “The Godfather: Part III,” died in Springfield, Pennsylvania, six days after turning 82.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama huddled with some of his senior national security aides and with top administration health officials for the latest assessment on the government’s response to Ebola in the aftermath of a Dallas nurse’s contracting the disease. Frenchman Jean Tirole (zhahn tee-ROHL’) was announced as the winner of the Nobel Prize in economics for showing how to encourage better products and competitive prices in industries dominated by a few companies.

One year ago: President Donald Trump welcomed American pastor Andrew Brunson to the Oval Office, celebrating his release from nearly two years of confinement in Turkey. Crews with dogs went door-to-door in the ruins of Mexico Beach, Florida, looking for additional victims or survivors of Hurricane Michael. A Turkish newspaper reported that Turkish officials had an audio recording of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi (jah-MAHL’ khahrSHOHK’-jee) inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

to launch a corruption investigation into Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who sat on the board of a gas company there.

On Saturday, Trump deployed in Giuliani’s defense the same twoword phrase — “Witch Hunt!” — he repeatedly used to attack the legitimacy of the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and now the House impeachment

inquiry against him.

“So now they are after the legendary ‘crime buster’ and greatest Mayor in the history of NYC, Rudy Giuliani,” Trump tweeted while on the way to his northern Virginia golf club. “He may seem a little rough around the edges sometimes, but he is also a great guy and wonderful lawyer.”

Later Saturday, he told Jeannine Pirro during a telephone interview broadcast on her Fox News Channel program that Giuliani continues as his lawyer.

said. “He was a fantastic prosecutor. I know nothing about him being under investigation … I can’t imagine it.”

“He’s a man that looks for corruption and whatever he does I really believe he’s a totally, I mean, I know he’s an honorable man,” Trump added.

A whistleblower complaint about Trump’s dealings with Ukraine led Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to open an impeachment inquiry into the president.

Three House committees taking depositions in the impeachment probe heard Friday from Yovanovitch.

said she was fired from her post in May after insisting that Giuliani’s requests to Ukrainian officials for investigations be relayed through official channels, according to a former diplomat who has spoken with her. The former diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private conversation.

Trump seemed to try to create space between himself and Giuliani on Friday when reporters asked if Giuliani was still representing him.

“Well, I don’t know. I haven’t spoken to Rudy,” Trump said as he left the White House for a trip to Louisiana, adding that the two spoke briefly on Thursday. “He’s a very good attorney, and he has been

HOMER: Refreshments and Reimbursements: Who: all Connections parents.

What: Are you ready to turn in reimbursements but don’t know how to fill out the form? Do you have questions about

my attorney. Yeah, sure.”

Asked if he still represented Trump, Giuliani replied to The Associated Press with a one-word text message: “Yes.” White House officials have been flabbergasted by Giuliani’s performance on Trump’s behalf, particularly his habit of revealing embarrassing information without so much as a heads-up to the president’s full-time aides.

Turkish forces say they’ve captured key Syrian border town

By Mehmet Guzel Associated Press

CEYLANPINAR — Turkey’s military said it captured a key Syrian border town under heavy bombardment Saturday in its most significant gain since an offensive against Kurdish fighters began four days ago, with no sign of relenting despite mounting international criticism.

Turkish troops entered central Ras al-Ayn, according to Turkey’s Defense Ministry and a war monitor group. The ministry tweeted: “Ras al-Ayn’s residential center has been taken under control through the successful operations in the east of Euphrates” River. It marked the biggest gain made by Turkey since the invasion began Wednesday.

The continued push by Turkey into Syria comes days after President Donald Trump pulled U.S. forces out of the area, making Turkey’s air and ground offensive possible, and said he wanted to stop getting involved with “endless wars.” Trump’s decision drew swift bipartisan criticism that he was endangering regional stability and risking the lives of Syrian Kurdish allies who brought down the Islamic State group in Syria. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces was the main U.S. ally in the fight and lost 11,000 fighters in the nearly five-year battle against IS. Turkish troops and allied Syrian opposition fighters have made gains recently capturing several northern villages in fighting and bombardment that left dozens of people killed or wounded. The invasion also has forced nearly 100,000 people to flee their homes amid concerns that IS might take advantage of the chaos and try to rise again after its defeat in Syria earlier this year.

The Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, said the United States should carry

out its “moral responsibilities” and close northern Syrian airspace to Turkish warplanes, but that it didn’t want the U.S. to send its soldiers “to the front lines and put their lives in danger.”

During a meeting Saturday in Cairo, the 22-member Arab League condemned what it described as “Turkey’s aggression against Syria” and warned that Ankara will be responsible for the spread of terrorism following its invasion. The league said Arab states might take some measures against Ankara. It called on the U.N. Security Council to force Turkey to stop the offensive.

The Turkish offensive was widely criticized by Syria and some Western countries, which called on Turkey to cease its military operations.

France’s defense and foreign ministries said Saturday that the country was halting exports of any arms to Turkey that could be used in its offensive.

Foreign Minister Heiko Maas also announced that Germany would curtail its arms exports to Turkey.

Maas told the weekly Bild am Sonntag that “against the background of the Turkish military offensive in northeastern Syria, the government will not issue any new permissions for any weapons that can be used by Turkey in Syria.”

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday that Turkey won’t stop until the Syrian Kurdish forces withdraw at least 20 milesfrom the border.

During the capture of Ras al-Ayn’s residential center, an Associated Press journalist across the border heard sporadic clashes as Turkish howitzers struck the town and Turkish jets screeched overhead. Syrian Kurdish forces appeared to be holding out in some areas of the town.

The SDF released two videos said to be from inside Ras al-Ayn, showing fighters saying that it was Saturday and they were still there.

Syrians bury Syrian Democratic Forces fighters killed fighting Turkish advance in the Syrian town of Qamishli, Saturday, Turkey’s military says it has captured a key Syrian border town Ras al-Ayn under heavy bombardment in its most significant gain as its offensive against Kurdish fighters presses into its fourth day.

The fighting was ongoing as the Kurdish fighters sought to reverse the Turkish advance into the city, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britishbased war monitor.

Ras al-Ayn is one of the biggest towns along the border and is in the middle of the area where Turkey plans to set up its safe zone.

The ethnically and religiously mixed town with a population of Arabs, Kurds, Armenians and Syriac Christians had been under the control of Kurdish fighters since 2013.

IS members tried to enter Ras al-Ayn following their rise in Syria and Iraq in 2014 but failed.

Most of the town’s residents have fled in recent days for fear of the invasion.

Earlier Saturday, Turkish troops moved to seize control of key highways in northeastern Syria, the Turkish military and the Syrian Observatory said. Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency said

over the course of the series, Vadla said.

At the final meeting on Tuesday, community members will have the chance to vote for their favorite solutions and help guide next steps toward action.

The final meeting will be held from 5:30 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 15 at the Soldotna Cook Inletkeeper Community Action Studio, 35911 Kenai Spur Highway, Suite 13. Refreshments featuring healthy, local foods will be provided.

towns of Kurdish fighters’ presence, saying they are a national security threat.

Since Wednesday, Turkish troops and Syrian opposition fighters backed by Ankara have been advancing under the cover of airstrikes and artillery shelling.

The U.N. estimated the number of displaced at 100,000 since Wednesday, saying that markets, schools and clinics also were closed.

Aid agencies have warned of a humanitarian crisis, with nearly a half-million people at risk in northeastern Syria.

A civilian wounded in a mortar strike from Syria on Friday in the Turkish border town of Suruc died, Anadolu news agency reported Saturday, bringing the civilian death toll to 18 in Turkey.

Turkey’s interior minister said hundreds of mortars, fired from Syria, have landed in Turkish border towns.

The Observatory said

74 Kurdish-led SDF fighters have been killed since Wednesday as well as 49 Syrian opposition fighters backed by Turkey. That’s in addition to 38 civilians on the Syrian side. It added that Turkish troops now control 23 villages in northeastern Syria.

Turkey’s defense ministry said it “neutralized” 459 Syrian Kurdish fighters. The number could not be independently verified. Four Turkish soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the offensive, including two who were killed in Syria’s northwest.

France’s leader warned Trump in a phone call that Turkey’s military action in northern Syria could lead to a resurgence of IS activity. President Emmanuel Macron “reiterated the need to make the Turkish offensive stop immediately,” his office said in a statement Saturday.

that Turkey-backed Syrian opposition forces had taken control of the M-4 highway that connects the towns of Manbij and Qamishli.

The SDF said that Turkish troops and their Syrian allies reached the highway briefly before being pushed back again.

Kurdish news agencies including Hawar and Rudaw said that Hevreen Khalaf, secretary general of the Future Syria Party, was killed Saturday as she was driving on the M-4 highway.

Rudaw’s correspondent blamed Turkish forces for targeting Khalaf’s car, and Hawar blamed “Turkey’s mercenaries.”

The Observatory said six people, including Khalaf, were killed by Turkeybacked opposition fighters on the road that they briefly cut before withdrawing.

Barrow ousts Nikiski Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The 2019 football season ended for Nikiski on Saturday afternoon with a 52-0 loss to Barrow in the Division III state semifinals in Utqiagvik.

Nikiski trailed 22-0 at halftime and had several secondhalf drives stall out as the

Whalers defense held strong.

It was the second straight contest Nikiski failed to score on Barrow. The Bulldogs lost 14-0 to the Whalers in a regular-season game Sept. 7 at home, a game that was played in wet, sloppy conditions.

Nikiski finished its season 3-5 overall, while Barrow

moves on to the championship final for a third straight year.

Barrow advances to play the Houston Hawks in the Division III state title game Oct. 19 at Anchorage Football Stadium. Houston, the 2019 Peninsula Conference champions, pummeled Eielson 64-21 Friday in the first

semifinal of the weekend.

Five players made it to the end zone for Barrow in the victory. L’jun Dias and Micah Serino each scored two touchdowns, while Anthony Fruean, Ervin Feleti and Jefferson Nobleza also hit pay dirt.

By Jeff Helminiak Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears received three pivotal goals from the line of Zach Krajnik, Theo Thrun and Logan Ritchie in defeating the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets 5-2 on Friday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex.

The win in the Bears’ home opener pushed their record to 5-2-1-1 and moved them to second place in the North American Hockey League Midwest Division, pending Saturday’s game. Janesville falls to 3-6-0-0 and is tied for last in the division.

Not every home atmosphere in the NAHL is like the one at Kenai River.

The Bears started their season at the NAHL Showcase, which is for scouts and not fans, and then played at the Minnesota Magicians and Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel.

“It wasn’t like this,” said Kenai River head coach Kevin Murdock, who

coached his first game at the sports complex. “It wasn’t an arena that could fit this many people, and there were not this many people there.”

While the Bears have plenty of veterans from last season, the team also has plenty of players fresh from 18U hockey where the crowd consists of family and friends.

“There was a lot of nerves this week about the home opener,” Murdock said.

“Our main message was just to have fun. At the end of the day, this is still a game.”

Thrun, 18, did just that, playing a role in all three goals that helped the Bears open up an insurmountable lead. He finished with a goal and two assists.

Last year, he played for Fox Motors 18U in Grand Rapids, Michigan, before going to Kenai River in the second round of the NAHL Draft.

“This is awesome,” he said. “This is the first time See friday, Page B2

Bears make it 2 straight at home

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

A weekend series win at home was just the boost the Kenai River Brown Bears were looking for Saturday night and they got it with a 4-1 win over the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex.

The Bears clinched the opening homestand of the year with one game to go.

Kenai River will go for the three-game sweep Sunday at 5 p.m.

The win pushed the Bears (6-2-1-1) into second place in the North American Hockey League Midwest Division with 14 points, one ahead of Fairbanks (6-3-01) and two behind Chippewa (8-2-0-0). Janesville slipped to 3-7-0-0, fifth in the NAHL Midwest.

“It’s good to win the first two here, but obviously

we’d like to get all three here this weekend,” said Bears head coach Kevin Murdock.

Coming off two straight road losses to the Chippewa Steel last weekend where Kenai River was outscored 13-2, the Bears were able to clamp down on defense with three goals allowed in the last two games. The Bears got a second straight stellar night out of Landon Pavlisin, who held the Jets at bay throughout the evening. Pavlisin said the Bears offense getting off to a fast start with two openingperiod goals helped ease the pressure on him.

“Seeing them in it to win it helps keep me going,” Pavlisin said. “They helped me out, putting in rebounds and stuff. I know they have my backs.”

SoHi storms to title game

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

It took six years to get playoff football back to Soldotna’s Justin Maile Field, but the SoHi Stars made the wait worth it.

SoHi pounded West Valley 54-22 in a Division II state football semifinal Friday night to punch its spot into the championship game for a record eighth straight year.

It was SoHi’s first home playoff game since Oct. 12, 2013, after six years of neutral game sites in Anchorage and Palmer.

In the other Division II semifinal, Lathrop pounded Eagle River 54-10 on Saturday to set up a Soldotna vs. Lathrop championship showdown next Saturday at 4 p.m. at Anchorage Football Stadium. The title game appearance is the first for Lathrop since 1985.

Soldotna (8-0) was led by senior Aaron Faletoi, who scored three touchdowns in the first half for the Stars and finished with 87 rushing yards. Hudson Metcalf and Wyatt Medcoff both scored twice on the ground, and Medcoff recorded a gamehigh 146 rush yards.

SoHi scored on its first five possessions and led 21-0 in the first quarter and 35-8 at halftime, outgaining the Wolfpack 265 to 56 yards in the first half.

“It feels pretty good,” Faletoi said. “Just help the guys out, and help coach (Galen Brantley Jr.) out. He always wants more. All the excitement is about working hard for this.”

Former Kenai wrestler finishes big summer

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

As former Kenai wrestler Jacob Anderson was stepping onto the mat for the 182-pound final in July with a national championship on the line, he sure didn’t expect it to be for a Roman-Greco crown.

But that’s where he found himself at the USA Wrestling Marines Junior National Championships in Fargo, North Dakota, held July 13 to 19.

Anderson, 18, finished second at 182 pounds to record the best finish for an Alaska male wrestler in 13 years. The most recent Alaska finalist at the annual Fargo tournament was Skyview’s

Eli Hutchison in 2006, and Hutchison finished his career as the winningest Alaska high school wrestler in state history.

After eight total matches over two days, Anderson lost the 182-pound Greco title 10-0 on a technical fall to New Jersey’s Christopher Foca, but it was the freestyle final that he thought he’d find himself in.

“Freestyle is my favorite,” Anderson said. “I actually don’t like Greco at all. It’s all about big throws. I made it to the national finals without throwing a single person.

“It was a joke with the whole team.”

The Junior National tournament features the best grapplers from around the

nation, and “Fargo,” as it is simply known by many, challenges prep wrestlers to bring out their A-game.

“Fargo is like ‘the’ tournament for any high school kid,” Anderson explained. “It’s like the biggest, baddest tournament for any high school kid.

It’s just all elite, blue-chip dudes on full rides to Division I programs.”

“It was an awesome thing.”

Anderson’s journey to Fargo began on the Kenai Peninsula. The son of Amy West and Shawn Anderson grew up in Nikiski and wrestled for Kenai Central for two years under coach Stan Steffensen. Anderson started wrestling on the local club scene at age 6 for Nikiski Freestyle before moving

on to the Kenai Kaveman and Soldotna Whalers.

Anderson moved to Anchorage with his dad in August 2017, where he graduated from South Anchorage High School this spring.

Anderson’s resume already speaks for itself — a triplecrown winner in Alaska club wrestling for the Alaska Avalanche and a three time All-American (a top eight college placement) competing at Division II McKendree University (Lebanon, Illinois).

McKendree is currently ranked No. 3 in the country, further making Anderson’s case for his level of talent.

Neldon Gardner, who coached Hutchison at Skyview, never directly coached Anderson but watched his prep career on the peninsula blossom.

“From what I know, his work ethic was very focused,” Gardner said. “He just had this extreme work ethic.”

As a high school coach for Anderson before he moved to Anchorage, Steffensen said the Kenai grappler was young and raw, but foreshadowed loads of talent.

“Watching him in middle school, he was just a kid that worked hard and was fun to watch wrestle,” Steffensen said. “He was always right there competing with everybody.”

As as a sophomore, Anderson recorded his highest finish at state as a Kardinal in sixth place at 135 pounds. Steffensen said he knew then Anderson could contend for a state title.

“When you’re a sophomore placing at state tournament, that is exciting,” he said. “That’s fun. Definitely, as a coach, I sure enjoyed working with Jacob. If you can get that kid to come to your school, that’d make you smile.”

At South Anchorage, Anderson was a two-time region champion, winning crowns at 160 and 171 pounds, and his best state finish was a Division I runner-up his senior year at 171 pounds.

Last year, Anderson won a Western States freestyle championship in 170 pounds at Pocatello, Idaho.

A biology major at McKendree, Anderson also excels on the academic

Preston Weeks both lit the lamp in the first period for Kenai River. That spark combined with Pavlisin in net makes a good combination, Murdock said. “(Pavlisin) has a calming influence back there,” he said. “It’s something they know, he’s there to bail us out.”

The Bears didn’t waste time taking a lead as

side, having earned scholarships and a Pell Grant.

Anderson’s journey to wrestle Division II started with an Alaska wrestling legend that has deep ties to the peninsula.

“The (McKendree) assistant coach was married to Michaela Hutchison,” Anderson said, referring to the 2008 Skyview High graduate who became the first girl to win a state wrestling championship competing against boys in 2006.

In talking to Sam Schmitz, Hutchison’s husband, Anderson said he made a positive impact on the program. It paved the path to him earning a spot on the team.

“I love wrestling, and I was definitely using that as a tool to get myself a good education,” he said.

McKendree’s wrestling season begins Nov. 9 with a meet at Maryville University in Missouri, but the season never ends for Anderson, who dedicates his life to the sport.

“I definitely feel like I’m going to do great things here,” he said. “I’ve got good upperclassmen that I get to roll around with, and they’re high caliber wrestlers that I can feed off of. Wrestling is a real ‘iron sharpens iron’ sport.”

Anderson also gave thanks to Alaska coaches Randy Hanson of South High School and Wesley Bockert of Team Alaska’s wrestling program, crediting those influences along with Steffensen for helping him reach the final in Fargo.

“It was a huge deal for me, and I’m really proud to represent the team,” Anderson said. “I think it gives the next generation of kids something to look forward to, that if you work hard enough and train, and stick to your dreams, you can make it that far.”

while Barrow quarterback Fruean also had a two-point conversion.

Barrow won the 2017 state championship before losing the big game to Eielson last season.

Helgeson poked the puck in on a rush 2:38 into the game.

The Bears worked the power play well too, getting a goal from Weeks on a backdoor shovel from Porter Schachle late in the first period to put Kenai River up 2-0. After one period, the Bears held a 10-4 shots on goal advantage.

The offense kept coming in the second period with goals from Brandon Lajoie and Schachle in the first five minutes of the period, giving the Bears a 4-0 advantage.

WE’RE MOVING TO YOU, SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON MOVING FORWARD

The Soldotna volleyball team took second in the platinum bracket Saturday at the 24th Lady Grizzly Invitational in Anchorage, while Nikiski won the gold bracket.

The Stars started in the bracket by defeating Wasilla 20-14, 13-20, 11-8, before losing to Bartlett 20-11, 16-20, 15-11.

Soldotna then worked its way back into the final by topping Wasilla 20-13, 17-20, 15-9. The Stars fell in the final 20-11, 21-23, 15-12.

Keegan Daoust had a pair of touchdowns to go with 154 receiving yards.

Accustomed to lopsided scores and fourth-quarter running clocks, SoHi took care of business Friday night, but West Valley nevertheless showed signs of brilliance against the Stars defense.

“They have really good skill players, across the board,” Medcoff said.

“Cummings is shifty, and (receiver) Avery Weston, the guy I was covering all night, he was just fast, good on the double move.”

Brantley Jr. said West Valley’s deep passing game kept the Stars on their toes all game, as Weston and Tyriq Nance were able to get into the defensive secondary for several big catches.

“They have athletes,” he said. “They have guys that can make big plays and they certainly exposed us a little bit here and there. There’s always something to work on.”

“I think we have a lot more

I’ve ever played in front of a lot of people. It was super special.”

In the first period, Anchorage’s Max Helgeson put the Bears up 1-0 when he tipped in a shot by Bryan Huggins.

But the Jets started building up offensive zone possession near the end of the period and eventually got a power-play goal from Jan Lasak with just five seconds left in the period.

Getting scored on so late in a period can be a momentum killer, but Thrun said it did just the opposite, particularly after getting swept last weekend by the Steel.

“It made us go harder,” he said. “We were still mad

playing well,” Murdock said.

Janesville kept the Bears honest with a power play goal from Jan Lasak midway through the second period, knocking in a loose puck in the crease to put the Jets on the board. Pavlisin stopped the first shot but Lasak was there to throw the rebound off Pavlisin’s leg and into the net.

Perhaps the biggest swing of the night came after a brawl involving all 10 players on the ice with just seconds left in the second period put the Bears on a five-minute

Wasilla 20-9, 20-13.

Nikiski won the gold bracket by topping Grace 25-11, 22-20, but losing to Monroe Catholic 17-20, 20-17, 5-2. The Bulldogs worked their way back into the final by defeating Anchorage Christian Schools 20-8, 20-17, before beating Monroe twice for the crown.

Kenai was fifth in the gold bracket, topping Seward 20-10, 20-15, then losing to Monroe 20-18, 19-21, 7-2, then losing to ACS 13-20, 20-14, 3-2.

Seward was seventh in the gold bracket, losing to Kenai, then Kotzebue.

Friday and Saturday, Soldotna finished on top of Pool A with an 8-1 record.

The Stars topped Bartlett 25-15, topped Kenai 25-14, topped Kotzebue 25-22,

topped Susitna Valley 25-14, topped Valdez 25-20, topped Mt. Edgecumbe 25-21, topped Eagle River 25-18, topped Anchorage Christian Schools 25-21 and lost to Wasilla 25-19.

Kenai was fifth in Pool A with a 4-5 record. The Kardinals lost to Valdez 25-16, lost to Soldotna 25-14, lost to Mt. Edgecumbe 25-17, lost to Bartlett 25-22, topped ACS 25-14, lost to Kotzebue 25-14, topped Eagle River 25-21, defeated Susitna Valley 25-7 and defeated Wasilla 25-22.

Homer was third in Pool B with a 7-2 record. The Mariners lost to Sitka 25-17, topped Cordova 25-12, topped Houston 25-10, topped Kodiak via forfeit, topped Monroe Catholic 25-21, lost to Palmer 25-14,

defeated Nikiski 25-22, defeated Seward 25-7 and defeated Grace Christian 25-8.

Nikiski was fourth in Pool B with a 6-3 record.

The Bulldogs lost to Palmer 25-21, defeated Seward 25-17, defeated Kodiak by forfeit, defeated Grace Christian 25-11, defeated Cordova 25-20, lost to Sitka 25-12, lost to Homer 25-22, defeated Monroe Catholic 25-23 and defeated Houston 25-10.

work to do,” added Faletoi.

SoHi quarterback Jersey Truesdell finished 7 for 8 for 121 yards and a passing TD. The senior signal-caller also maintained his clean sheet in 2019 with no interceptions through eight games.

Brantley Jr. said getting the senior class to the championship game for all four years of their tenure is what he wanted to see most.

“It’s awesome,” Brantley Jr. said. “I’m excited for these guys, they’ve worked hard over four years, and are right exactly where they want to be.”

Soldotna will attempt to win an eighth straight state title next Saturday in Anchorage against the Malemutes. In the regular season, SoHi defeated Lathrop 51-14. Brantley Jr. said the Malemutes are the team he wants.

“We expect to see Lathrop,” he said. “We’ve played both teams and feel like they’re the more talented team, but anything can happen. We’ll be ready for whoever it is.”

Most of West Valley’s first-half yards came on a 10-play drive in the second quarter. That scoring drive

finally woke up the West Valley offense as 6-foot-3 senior receiver Tyriq Nance hauled in two circus catches from Conwell, including a one-handed grab in the end zone to close SoHi’s lead to 28-8, following a two-point pass from Conwell to Avery Weston.

However, that momentum didn’t last long. It took SoHi two plays to go 70 yards for the answer, first on a 42-yard gashing run by Medcoff, then on a 28-yard TD catch

by Galen Brantley III, who was wide open for the score.

Brantley III finished the night with 73 receiving yards on three catches.

“Offensively, we’re in a good spot right now,” Brantley Jr. said. “The only drive we sputtered, we ran out of time. Our starters got up and down the field and scored at will.”

Prior to that West Valley drive, the Wolfpack had two punts and a fumble for minus-11 yards.

The Stars opened the second half with authority, as seniors Zack Zeigler and Trent Walden teamed up for a sack of Conwell, forcing West Valley to punt.

From there, SoHi moved

the ball 60 yards, capped by a 22-yard scoring scamper

by Medcoff to push the lead to 41-8. Medcoff notched his second TD of the night on the next posession, a 34-yard rush to the end zone.

Tyler Morrison grabbed an interception for SoHi in the second half.

about last weekend.”

Just 25 seconds into the second period, Ritchie got the puck to the slot and Thrun pounced on it, ripping it top shelf.

“I like to get as many pucks to the net as I can,” Thrun said.

Janesville responded by again building offensivezone possession and getting rewarded with a Jake Dunlap tally with 13:55 left in the second that tied it at 2.

Jets head coach Corey Leivermann said his team’s play leading up to the goals was great, but added that executing the system in 10 of the game’s 60 minutes will not get it done in the NAHL. “We didn’t have good enough forecheck,” he said.

“The guys didn’t buy into the system tonight.”

With 11:52 left in the third

period, the Bears top line struck again. Eagle River’s Krajnik played a pass ahead to Thrun, correctly betting the speedster could beat the icing call. Thrun collected the puck behind the net and fed it back to Krajnik for a goal.

Then with 7:38 left in the game, Thrun forced a turnover in Janesville’s zone. The puck bounced to Ritchie, who found Krajnik on the back post for a two-goal cushion.

“I think they played with a lot of speed and creativity,” Murdock said of the KrajnikThrun-Ritchie line. “They were able to shoot the puck, make plays and be relatively responsible defensively.”

Trey LaBarge would add an empty-netter to account for the final score.

Leivermann said the third period has been a problem

penalty kill. With the majority of that coming at the start of the final period, the Jets were facing a golden opportunity.

However, the Bears killed it off with no serious scoring threat by Janesville, keeping a three-goal lead that lasted the final 15 minutes.

Biles does it again STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — Another day, another record for Simone Biles.

In a week where she’s written even more history than she usually does, the U.S. gymnastics star won her 23rd world championship medal on Saturday in vault.

That matches the all-time record by any gymnast, male or female — and expect Biles to be back on the podium in two more events Sunday.

“I think it’s impressive.

Also, I don’t really think of it

going into the competition, because I feel that kind of weighs heavy on me,” Biles said. “I just go in, do what I’m supposed to, and whatever the outcome is, I just kind of let it happen.”

Biles didn’t need the vault which bears her name to win gold Saturday. Instead of the Biles, which she landed at last year’s worlds, she picked two vaults which are slightly more familiar, though still fearsomely difficult, the Cheng and the Amanar.

Like the sub-four minute mile, running a marathon in less than two hours had seemed impossible — until Saturday. But this time there’s an asterisk: Olympic champion Kipchoge performed his feat under conditions so tightly controlled to maximize his success that it won’t appear in the record books.

The 34-year-old Kenyan completed the 42.195 kilometers (26.2 miles) in 1 hour, 59 minutes, 40.2 seconds at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, an event set up for the attempt.

Ahead of the event, Kipchoge even compared the feat to being “like the first man on the moon.” Afterward, he drew comparisons to Bannister, the late Briton who 65 years ago became the first athlete to run a mile in under four minutes.

“It is a great feeling to make history in sport after Sir Roger Bannister,” Kipchoge said. “I am the happiest man in the world to be the first human to run under two hours and I can tell people that no human is limited. I expect more people all over the world to run under two hours after today.”

Homer’s Story, Seward’s Jacoby get wins at massive meet Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Homer and Seward swim teams competed at the massive Bartlett/Chugiak Swimming Diving Invitational on Saturday at Bartlett High School. The meet had 480 athletes entered.

The Homer girls turned in the top effort, finishing sixth with 126 points behind

champion Dimond, which had 386.

The Seward girls were 15th with 47 points.

The Seward boys finished ninth with 113 points, with Dimond winning at 343.5.

Homer was 17th with 26 points.

The Kenai Peninsula victories at the meet came from Homer’s Madison Story and Seward’s Lydia Jacoby.

Story won the girls 200 individual medley at 2:13.98.

Story was second in the 100 breaststroke at 1:08.28.

Bringing HOPE

to women on the Kenai Peninsula.

While 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her life, there are over 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the United States today. The best defense is early detection: Know how your breasts usually feel and look and report any changes to your physician right away. A mammogram is the most effective way to detect cancer when lumps are too small to be felt or seen. Experts recommend a yearly mammogram beginning at age 40 for women at average risk; for those with higher risk factors a mammogram may be recommended earlier. Talk to your doctor to see what screening options are right for you.

What babies can really use: A lot of chatter Learning early on: Talk pedometers may boost your baby’s brain development

By Katherine Hafner The Virginian-Pilot

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Teresa Hunter didn’t know what kind of conversation she was supposed to have with her 2-month-old.

The Virginia Beach parenting class she joined told her to talk and read to her baby. But the infant wasn’t going to understand why the wild things are where they are, or how Charlie got to the chocolate factory.

“At first it was weird,” she said with a laugh.

But a growing body of research about early childhood education and cognitive development suggests that chatting with children, particularly from birth to age 3, is crucial. That thinking is at the heart of the program that Virginia Beach is now expanding with a nearly $450,000 grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Parents receive small “talk pedometers,” devices that count both the number of words spoken in the child’s presence and the number of conversational interactions between caretaker and child.

“We are seeing a lot of families across all demographics that were distracted. We’re not making time for as much human interaction as we used to,” said Barb Lito, coordinator of Virginia Beach’s GrowSmart, which leads the state’s only such initiative.

“Talking with children is what will really help stimulate that positive brain development.”

Virginia Beach is one of five cities nationwide recently chosen by the Bloomberg charitable foundation to replicate a Providence, R.I.-based initiative that teaches parents of young children about the importance of

language in development.

The city’s been implementing the program for a few years — but the science is now catching up. uuu In 2017, inspired by the Providence program, Virginia Beach launched LENA Start 10-week classes. Since then, 132 families have “graduated” from the program, and Lito said she

feels it’s been a success in helping parents become aware of how much they talk to their young ones and start embedding the advice into their daily routines.

Hunter and her husband, Isaiah, were some of the first participants with their daughter, Ivy, who was just a few months old at the time and is now 2. They were new parents, “and we didn’t

really know what we were doing.”

LENA — which takes its name from a national nonprofit and technology developer that manufactures the talk pedometers — intrigued Hunter, because it gave parents “the power to increase our babies’ brain development.”

A couple years later, Hunter said, Ivy has a strong grasp of

language skills and regularly engages at an impressive level.

“If you want to know about LENA, just look at my baby,” she said. “She talks about things you wouldn’t think she’d know at this age.”

Hunter enjoyed it so much that she now helps run the classes.

Has your newborn’s identity already been stolen? Steps to take

By Bev O’Shea NerdWallet

Imagine discovering that your newborn’s brand new Social Security number has already been used to construct what Eva Velasquez, president and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center, calls a “Frankenstein monster of identity.”

Parents may discover their newborn’s tarnished Social Security number when they try to use it to file taxes, apply for government benefits or attempt to freeze the baby’s credit. Suddenly, an application or tax form is kicked back.

“And the parents go, ‘What are you talking about?’ They don’t

even know what this means,” says Velasquez, whose nonprofit helps victims of identity theft. “And … through no fault of their own, they’re left holding the bag and they are the ones that are now responsible for cleaning up that mess.”

An identity theft victim at birth?

The rise in synthetic identity theft — where criminals piece together a fake consumer — is an unintended consequence of Social Security number “randomization,” which was initiated in 2011 to expand the pool of available numbers, she says.

Old Social Security numbers had clues to geography and birth dates in the digits. Randomizing the numbers made it harder for scammers to guess them — but also made it harder for creditors to spot the bogus use of a Social Security number on an application.

Before randomization, criminals typically purchased minors’ Social Security numbers on the black market or tracked down the numbers of dead children.

But now, sometimes the number “is just completely made up,” Velasquez says. Fraud-detection measures used previously have become ineffective because it’s no longer possible to pair a Social

Security number with a location or approximate age.

Criminals often start with a notyet-issued Social Security number to create a fake identity. If it works, the number becomes attached to a credit file for a consumer who doesn’t exist.

arrives, a new credit file is started based on the information in that application.

The thief often starts small, say, with a card marketed to credit newbies, then builds on that to get more accounts with bigger credit limits. Then, they suddenly max out all the accounts — a “bust-out” scheme — and walk away, leaving the accounts to go to collections and never to be paid. The child’s credit reputation is left in tatters, but that’s often not discovered until the child is old enough to apply for credit, by seeking a college loan, for example.

Velasquez says the solution lies

How the number gets in the credit system “You can create a credit file with almost nothing,” says Adam Levin, chairman and founder of CyberScout, a company offering identity theft education and resolution services. When a credit card application with a previously unused Social Security number

The shh factor: Ginseng hunters say secrecy part of their hobby

By Erin Jordan The Gazette

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Like morel mushroom hunters — or maybe even more so — ginseng diggers are quiet about their hobby.

If you’ve got a secret spot where you find the red-berried plant with roots worth more than $700 per pound dried, you don’t want someone else getting there first.

There’s also a sense among many ginseng diggers that the pleasurable pastime handed down through generations is at risk from people who don’t mind breaking the law to make a quick buck.

“In Iowa it’s not quite as crazy as ‘Appalachian Outlaws,’ but people are very protective of their woods,” Marv Kraus, 58, of rural Elkader, told The Gazette .

Kraus, one of three licensed ginseng dealers in Iowa, is talking about the History Channel TV show that featured the extreme — and often illegal — pursuits of a group of ginseng hunters in the Appalachian forests. The pseudoreality show ran for only two seasons, but some law-abiding ginseng hunters fear it encouraged poaching.

Liz Martin / The Gazette

Marv Kraus, of Elkader, Iowa, finishes paperwork with a ginseng harvester on Sept. 23. Ginseng can only be harvested in September and October on private land with permission of the landowner by licensed harvesters. This harvester, who declined to be identified, gathered four bags over a week on private property he has been harvesting on for more than three decades.

In June, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources reported a Chicago couple pleaded guilty to illegally harvesting ginseng in July 2018 at Geode State Park. Ki Pil Park and Jaemyung Yoo were charged after officers doing a traffic stop for speeding found 67 fresh ginseng plants in their vehicle.

only from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31. It’s illegal to harvest the plant from public land, including state parks, or from private land if you don’t have permission.

In a strikingly similar incident, the Iowa DNR announced Aug. 20 it is investigating after two other Chicago-area residents were found with 125 ginseng plants and

a shovel at Geode.

Tak Hyun Kim, 60, and Seung Thee Min, 63, were charged with disturbing soil in a state park, which is prohibited, Iowa DNR Conservation Officer Dan Henderson said. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is assisting with an ongoing ginseng probe, he said.

Each fall hundreds of Iowans legally harvest wild American ginseng, walking shady slopes, or “hill hopping,” in search of the plant that can be hard to find until late September when the leaves turn yellow.

Iowa is one of 19 states that allow limited ginseng harvest.

Each year, the state has to report harvest statistics to the Fish & Wildlife Service, which decides whether to continue to allow export from the state.

The Iowa DNR sold 248 harvesting permits in 2018, 31 permits for growing ginseng and three dealer permits, bringing in just under $10,000 for the state agency.

Harvesting permits cost $37 for residents.

Gazette was able to find three and reach out by phone or by door knocking.

One man hung up on the reporter, another did not return a message left at his house and a third left a kind, but clear, voicemail saying he wasn’t interested in being interviewed.

“Ginseng to me is a silent thing,” he said. “It’s hush-hush to me, you know, because there are so many violators and trespassers.”

Ginseng roots — yellowish gnarls that sometimes look like a human form with “legs” and “arms” — are valued for medicinal purposes ranging from lowering cholesterol to improving male virility. The root long has been important to Chinese and Native American cultures and more recently has been touted as a prime ingredient in dietary supplements and energy drinks.

Some research supports these claims.

A 2012 study at the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center found high doses of pure American ginseng reduced cancer-related fatigue in patients more effectively than a See ginseng, Page C2

placebo. Other researchers have found some evidence ginseng root may suppress tumor cell growth and inhibit metastasis among cancer patients.

Many of the roots found in Iowa are sold to Midwest companies, but the eventual buyers are almost always Chinese, Kraus said.

“I sell to some Chinese customers out in California,” he said. “My wife and I traveled in January to San Francisco, to Chinatown. We met some of the contacts.”

Jim Zezulka, 68, of Dorchester, has been hunting ginseng since the 1980s and now has state and federal licenses to buy and export the roots. He has a route he runs once a week during the season to purchase ginseng from customers, mostly in Eastern Iowa.

“Some ginseng roots are 30 to 40 years old,” he said, adding you can tell a root’s age by the stem rings. “They could be the smallest roots in the bag, but the customers overseas want an old stem.”

Zezulka sells the Iowa ginseng he purchases to Wiebke Fur & Trading Company, with sites in Eitzen, Minnesota, and La Crosse, Wisconsin.

The company also buys fur, deerskins and morel mushrooms, its website reports.

Wiebke was fined $100,000 in 2013 after being convicted of buying and selling illegally harvested wild ginseng, the Associated Press reported. The company also agreed to a two-year ban on ginseng transactions.

Iowa dealers have become more concerned about where diggers are getting their ginseng.

“A lot of people out there are illegally digging,” Zezulka said.

He’s aware some people wear camouflage and get dropped off at public land or private land where they don’t have permission to avoid detection.

Kraus makes sure ginseng diggers who sell to him have valid permits and requires them to sign a waiver saying they followed Iowa’s harvest laws. He also encourages people interested in hunting ginseng to go talk with private landowners instead of assuming they won’t allow access.

“There are a lot of good people who will let you do ginseng hunting with permission,” he said. “If we all respect private property, there’d be a lot less trouble.”

With a few strategic changes, even a small laundry room can become a space that’s appealing to be in and can double as a room for other activities too.

“Laundry rooms don’t need to be a space that we apologize for anymore,” says New York-based interior designer Deborah Martin.

Here, Martin and two other designers — HGTV’s Brian Patrick Flynn and Miami-based Raquel Mothe, of Mothe Design — offer advice on turning a basic laundry room into a space you love.

Location, location Especially in older homes, one of the least convenient things about the laundry room is where it is — often far from where laundry gets generated.

If you’re remodeling, Flynn says, consider relocating your laundry room as close to the master bedroom as possible. In fact, make it part of your master bedroom closet, if there’s enough space.

“This makes it way easier for homeowners to tackle their laundry without having to then bring it back and forth across the house,” he says.

And though it’s a splurge, it’s worth considering having more than one space where laundry gets done.

When working on new luxury home projects, Mothe says, she often includes one laundry room on the house’s main level for cleaning things like small rugs, pet toys, pool towels and other household items.

She puts another laundry space with similar design and the same machines on the second floor near

Go bright and bold Have fun with color and pattern, the designers say.

Mothe rarely uses white for a laundry room, aiming for a cozier vibe.

If there are colors you love but think are too bright for other rooms, Flynn suggests using them in your laundry room. It’s also a great place for patterns that seem too much for a living room or bedroom.

Wallpaper’s a good way to do that.

“Nine times out of 10,” Flynn says, “I find that simply adding wallpaper to a laundry room or laundry closet instantly makes it feel more inviting.”

If you’re updating the floor, Martin suggests creating a cheerful space with an interesting tile design.

Helpful details Martin and Mothe both advise including a really large sink in a laundry room. And Martin suggests adding a drain in the floor.

“We never plan for accidents, but accidents happen,” she says.

Martin also recommends built-in bins or baskets for separating clothes.

Also: Have plenty of space for drying items that you won’t be putting in the dryer. “Let’s say you are washing a silk blouse that you are not sending to the dry cleaners,” Mothe says. Install a bar with hangers or a retractable hanging rack.

Mothe also adds drying racks for clients who will be washing things like sneakers and other shoes.

Best lighting Laundry rooms need plenty of light, and that can include what

Mothe Design

A laundry room designed by Mothe Design is shown in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

This laundry room includes plenty of storage with cabinets by Ornare, as well as recessed ceiling lighting and natural light, creating a space that’s welcoming and also functional.

designers call “statement lighting” — something gorgeous that brightens the room and adds a dose of style.

Flynn suggests adding a pendant light or even some kind of chandelier, if space allows.

Recessed ceiling lighting is also helpful, Martin says, especially over areas where you’ll be trying to get out a stain or sorting clothes.

And if you’re doing new construction or remodeling, Martin says, give your laundry room plenty of windows. Even if we’re just doing laundry, she says, “We can enjoy a little light. We can enjoy a view.”

Strategic storage Don’t forget to add a few tall cabinets for things like brooms or ironing boards, Mothe says. And she thinks it’s worth investing in highquality countertops.

A detail like that, she says, can “make a difference between the regular laundry and the luxury one.”

If your laundry room also includes open shelving, Martin suggests storing items in apothecary jars or large Mason jars. “They’re a nice option to store stray things like collar stays, misplaced buttons or even detergent pods,” she says.

“There’s no reason we can’t put our detergent in something pretty.”

But do add plenty of closed storage, since much of what you may be storing probably isn’t especially attractive, Flynn says.

“Concealed storage is super important, especially counter-toceiling when possible. There are so many essential supplies involved with laundry and not many are aesthetically pleasing,” Flynn says.

“Keeping everything behind cabinet doors is key.”

Consider other uses Martin has one client who uses her laundry room to cut and arrange fresh flowers. So the room was designed with extra storage space related to that hobby.

If you’re building or remodeling, consider expanding your laundry area’s size and purpose, perhaps combining your mudroom and laundry room.

This is especially good “for active families with kids and pets,” Flynn says.

“I’ve found that the more space allotted to a laundry room,” he says, “the less of a task space it becomes and the more of a social space it begins to feel like.”

U.S. consumers snap up Italian Parmesan before tariffs hit

By Colleen Barry Associated Press

MILAN — U.S. consumers who appreciate the tang of aged Italian Parmesan cheese as an aperitif or atop their favorite pasta dish are stocking up ahead of next week’s tariff hike and as dairy producers in the two countries square off.

The Italian agricultural lobby Coldiretti said Friday that sales of

both Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano, aged cheeses with a distinctive granular quality that are defined by their territory of origin, have skyrocketed in the United States by 220% since the higher tariffs were announced one week ago.

The new tariffs — up from $2.15 per kilogram (2.2 pounds) to around $6 a kilogram — take effect on Oct. 18. Parmesan cheese is on a

in creating a process where financial institutions and other credit grantors can verify an applicant’s name and number with the Social Security Administration for identity confirmation. That’s in the works, she says.

It’s essential to freeze credit In the meantime, the best protection is to freeze kids’ credit . While it’s possible parents will

group.

“It’s really just a selfreflective process,” Lito said. “As we build on our research, they get to see what’s working and they can expand on that in their home environment.”

With the new grant will come an expansion: LENA Home, a home visitation program that will allow families to participate even if they have trouble getting to a weekly class, and LENA Grow, which will be offered at local early education and child care programs with children up to age 4. uuu The nonprofit LENA — Language Environment Analysis — is focused on “early talk for early development,” said president Steve Hannon.

“The thing we know with a significant amount of science in the last 20 years is that interaction is really critical,” Hannon said. It’s tied to brain structure and function, with a real connection between language and brain development. “That’s something that’s a common thread.”

What does that mean?

long list of EU products targeted by the Trump administration for retaliatory tariffs approved by the World Trade Organization for illegal EU subsidies to aviation giant Airbus.

Coldiretti says American consumers as a result will pay over $45 a kilogram, instead of $40 — which is expected to hurt sales in the U.S., the second-largest export market after France.

discover that a child’s Social Security number has already been used to build a synthetic identity, chances are it hasn’t. (If it has, the sooner you clean up the mess , the better.)

Freezing a child’s credit can prevent their Social Security number from being used to open bogus credit accounts. Both Levin and Velasquez say they “absolutely” recommend freezing a newborn’s credit.

The mechanics are relatively simple. Parents will need to make and send copies of documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards and government-issued identification, to each of the three major credit reporting bureaus.

Go online to Equifax and Experian to print

It’s as simple as using adult words with the child — and more importantly, increasing what are known as “conversational turns,” or back and forth interactions.

“It’s a verbal alternation: I go, you go,” Hannon said.

“It could be a kid uttering something and the parent responding.”

The pedometer is a small device the child wears hidden on an article of clothing for a full day.

It “captures their audio environment,” Hannon said, and the developer’s software processes the resulting data to tell parents how many words were spoken to the child and the number of conversational turns and child vocalizations.

Hannon emphasized that LENA deletes the recordings right after processing the data to preserve privacy.

The idea that parents should start talking more to their children to prevent future academic hardship largely stems back from a study published in 1992. It said children growing up in poverty hear 30 million fewer words than their

peers by age 3. The drastic so-called “word gap” drew lots of attention and went on to be cited more than 8,000 times, according to NPR. Questions have surfaced about the accuracy of the famed study, as replications found the “gap” much narrower, around 4 million words, and others noted the study was old and based on a small sample.

But Hannon said the study “was profound at the time” and spawned a line of research that has continually shown the importance of early interactions and language.

“It’s not 30 million words, it’s not 40 million words. What we know is interaction matters,” he said. “Children are hungry for communication from the day they’re born.”

For example, a more recent study demonstrated that speaking more adult words around babies in the neonatal intensive care unit was associated with better expressive communication and language composition.

A decade-long study by LENA researchers claims the amount of talk between

Nicola Bertinelli, president of the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese consortium, says the tariffs threaten the economic health of 330 small dairy producers in the area around Parma and the 50,000 people who work in the production supply chain.

“I believe that … Europe has understood that this is a commercial attack,” Bertinelli told The Associated Press this week.

out request forms to complete and mail in with the required copies of documents. The mailing address is on each form. TransUnion doesn’t have an online form; instead, to request a freeze, write a letter and send document copies to TransUnion, P.O. Box 380, Woodlyn, PA 19094.

Each credit bureau will send confirmation of the freeze, as well as a personal identification number. The PINs will be needed to unfreeze the credit file, so it’s essential to keep that information and store it in a secure place.

“Even if it is a little difficult, this is what parents should be doing,” Levin says about freezing kids’ credit.

adults and babies in the first three years of life was related to their later verbal abilities and IQ in adolescence.

Kenneth Wong, who teaches education policy at Brown University, has with colleagues been studying the impacts of the Providence program and called it “very promising.”

In the classroom model similar to what Virginia Beach does now, 73 percent of children saw an increase in their adult word counts and 56 percent in conversational turns, Wong said. Most importantly, those who started at a level below the 50th percentile, whose parents were speaking less, “were the children who experienced significant growth.

“Children who needed more exposure to words were the ones who gained the most.”

Wong said he sees it as a way “not only to narrow the ‘word gap’ but also to empower the parent at home.”

Positive reinforcement is particularly effective, including encouraging children to explore certain

activities, he said. uuu Cara Dixon and her husband Wade, who serves in the Navy, attended Virginia Beach classes when their son, Asher, was about 18 months old.

At a checkup appointment, they’d been told Asher had a slight speech delay, and were advised to “talk to him more.”

“When I left the office, I felt very defeated because I talk all the time,” Cara Dixon said. “So that (didn’t) give me a lot of direction.”

When the couple learned of the program through the military, they enrolled right away. Dixon said it was helpful to learn specific tips about how to engage with Asher, including getting down on his level to look him in the eye, waiting for him to respond even if it took him a little while to process, and reading more to increase the number of words he hears.

“I felt like it gave him an upper hand for learning and gave us something to work with,” she said. “We’ve gotten him where he needs to be.”

y wife and I — recent empty-nesters — keep thinking about all the ways our kids are going to be different the next time they’re home.

But to be honest, I think my kids are going to come home to find it’s their parents who have changed.

My son is up at the University of Alaska Fairbanks for his freshman year of college — a time when young adults have the opportunity to redefine who they are and they become who they want to be.

My daughter is spending her junior year of high school as an exchange student to Austria.

Certainly, we expect her to grow and change tremendously as she spends a year immersed in another culture.

I remember my first visit home from college. The house definitely had a different vibe, but I think that was mostly because my younger brother had gotten rid of the second bed in what had been our room. My choice was sharing a mattress on the floor with the dog, or a stage-prop coffin that had somehow ended up in his room.

If my parents had changed at all, as far as I could tell, it was that they were letting my younger siblings get away with everything I was never allowed to do.

With our kids both gone, my wife and I have become to focus of our own lives again. The dogs have been a major focus, too, but to be honest, our dogs have always been spoiled. For example, we recently ordered a new camping trailer.

While it is laid out for just two people — no bunks for the kids — we did make sure we’d have plenty of room for the dogs.

Another thing that’s changed is our conversations. For example, the dinner conversation used to go something like this: “What do you think the kids want for dinner?”

“I don’t know, whatever is fine with me.”

Now that conversation goes more like this: “What do you want for dinner?”

“I don’t know, whatever is fine with me.”

OK, so maybe our conversations haven’t changed that much.

But for the first time in more than 18 years, we’re planning trips that involve just the two of us. I’ve been flipping through a guide book for an upcoming vacation, and for the first time in a long time, I don’t need to negotiate to go do the things I want to do. I’m wondering just how much more relaxed I’ll be when I don’t have to pry kids away from the wifi to go for a hike, or argue to get them out of bed before lunch time.

And without kids’ activities taking up so much of our time, my wife and I have found other things to do. Instead of booster club meetings, we now go to volunteer organization board meetings.

I wonder how the kids will react to their new and different parents.

Will they notice how most of the piles of their clutter have disappeared from around the house?

Will they want to talk about the things we talk about now, when they don’t revolve around what the kids are doing? Will they be a part of the new rhythm of our household, where we get up early and talk over a cup of coffee?

I still remember that awkward feeling from my first visit home, when I realized I no longer had my own bed. While our relationship with our kids will be different, I hope they never feel like visitors.

I do miss the kids, and I am looking forward to having them home.

I wonder what they’ll want for dinner?

Eco Note Earth’s climate has always changed slowly because of natural changes in the sun and Earth’s orbit. But now it’s warming more quickly.

Scientists learn about past climates by studying samples of ice from the polar regions, known as ice cores. The ice contains air bubbles that show what the climate was like thousands of years ago.

Scientists also study growth patterns of ancient trees, which grew faster in warmer years.

Tom McCoy is in his third year of a Ph.D. program in cognitive science at Johns Hopkins University.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019: This year, you have the opportunity to head in a unique direction. You might weigh the pros and cons for a substantial period before deciding which way to go. If single, you meet many people but might note an explosive quality about relationships. This too will pass. If you’re attached, you and your partner have a newfound intensity.

Learn to identify with your sweetie more often. ARIES can be volatile at times. Know that you often have the same issues but different approaches.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might feel edgy as you begin your day. You might be sensing the chaos that this Full Moon day could wreak upon you. Be optimistic; stay positive, knowing full well what you want and desire. Avoid difficult people. Tonight: Dinner out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH You might feel uneasy as you sense that others are upset. The unexpected runs riot, and you might be more of a participant than you realize. A partner seems abundant with goodwill and intensity. Try to respond to this person. Tonight: As you like it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Zero in on a goal. What you want might be silly, or what you judge as silly.

Understand who might be raining on your parade. Recognize what’s happening around your friends. Some of them could be too intense for your taste. Tonight: Where the action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH You might want to change your plans.

You see others — especially an authority figure — as difficult and somewhat explosive.

Push could come to shove. Be careful; you could be part of the problem. Tonight: Up late.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH If you want to spontaneously hop in the car and take a drive, do it. A change of environment could make a big difference. You could note that others are short-tempered.

Ignore their behavior. Take the high road.

Tonight: Try a new spot.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

tell them what you have learned. When you do, make clear that you intend to treat the boy as a full-fledged family member and expect them to follow suit. Your daughters should be told beforehand about the existence of their half-brother.

Your wife should try to make every effort to welcome the boy into the fold during visitation. If she is having trouble handling her emotions, a licensed marriage and family therapist rather than a divorce lawyer may be able to help her.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could feel as though you need to proceed in a certain manner. Others seem to be extremely emotional. How you handle a personal matter could radically change.

Tonight: Be a duo.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Defer to another person; get to the bottom of a problem. You could find that a family member is feisty and determining much of what’s going on today. You could be quiet or opt to go in a separate direction.

Tonight: Happiest close to home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You discover that a talk might not be going the way you thought it would. Be more open than you have been until now. Join your friends, though you could be somewhat feisty and difficult. Tonight: Visit with a pal over dinner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Use good sense with your spending.

Stay in touch with what you most desire. How you handle a personal matter could radically change after a discussion. Be aware of what you offer another person. Tonight: Do your thing.

They give them extravagant gifts that cost hundreds of dollars and hand them extra gift cards in front of us. They also treat our children and their cousins differently. As my children get older, I know they will notice.

My husband is very independent. He acts like it doesn’t bother him, but I know in his heart it does. We both have respected professions, keep an immaculate home and try our best to

You are absolutely correct that your children will begin to notice the disparity in the way they are treated by their grandparents. Continue to be kind and respectful, but see them far less often, and never on occasions when gifts are exchanged.

DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law is obsessed with dieting and working out. She and her husband often talk about other people’s looks (whether they need to lose weight or not).

I had a baby four months ago and have about 15 pounds to lose before I’ll be back to my pre-pregnancy weight. She has told me several times now that I need to work out. I don’t know what to say because her comments are hurtful. We are fairly close, so I’d prefer to confront her myself instead of asking my husband to do it. What should I say the next time she says this? — BABY WEIGHT IN THE SOUTH DEAR BABY WEIGHT: Tell her (sweetly) that you know she means well, but that you would prefer not to discuss it at this time.

This year, you will fluctuate between being extremely assertive and dynamic, and being mellow and patient. Others might not be able to decide which person they can relate to. If single, you might find someone who likes one facet of your personality better than the others. You want someone who likes you as a whole. If attached, the two of you communicate to each other in many ways and styles. An element of the unexpected runs through your relationship.

Enjoy the dynamics. TAURUS can be stubborn if pushed. Be smart; give them space.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

If you are not connected with your feelings, others might start acting unpredictably. Tonight: Know that you can have it all
