FBI aids in probe of homicide recorded on video ANCHORAGE — The FBI is assisting police in Anchorage with the investigation of a homicide captured in photos and video on a camera memory card. FBI Special Agent Steve Forrest said the agency is helping investigate the death of Kathleen Henry, 30, whose remains were discovered Oct. 2 by a passerby along the highway south of Anchorage, television station KTVA reported. “I can’t discuss details of the case but can confirm the FBI has provided and continues to provide investigative and technical assistance to the Anchorage Police Department,” Forrest said by email. Brian Steven Smith, 48, faces charges of murder, sexual assault and evidence tampering, according to an indictment filed Monday. A court appearance was scheduled for Wednesday. His attorney, assistant public defender Daniel Lowery, said by email Tuesday he does not comment on pending cases. A woman called police Sept. 30 and said she had found a camera memory card on the ground containing evidence of a crime. The card was labeled, “Homicide at midtown Marriott.” Midtown is a section of Anchorage. Detectives reviewed the card and found 39 photos and 12 videos. The videos showed a man beating and strangling a woman, telling her to die and laughing. The woman attacked had dark hair and was described as “possibly Alaskan Native.” The man’s voice in the video had what sounded like an English accent. Detectives listening to the video remembered the voice from a previous investigation and linked it to Smith, an immigrant from South Africa. Investigators learned that Smith from Sept. 2-4 had stayed at TownePlace Suites by Marriott. Photos on the memory card showed a partial license plate on a black pickup, and detectives linked it to a 1999 Ford Ranger See news, Page A3

‘Health and well-being ... is our mission’ The state offers resources to patients with discontinued prescriptions. By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

State officials are working to provide resources to patients relying on medications prescribed by two medical providers — including a Soldotna doctor — recently arrested on narcotics charges. Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer Dr.

Anne Zink said in an Oct. 11 press release that the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services is working with local, state, tribal and federal partners to support affected patients, families and the medical community to address the physical and behavioral health of those who now have discontinued prescriptions. “The health and well-being of Alaskans is our mission,” she said. This includes supporting patients in chronic pain, providing information about pain

management, helping to prevent and treat opioid misuse and supporting the community through the transition in care delivery, the release said. “We’re aware of the concerns of both patients and providers and we’re working to address questions and issues as quickly as possible,” Zink said. Last week, special agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration arrested Soldotna doctor Lavern See health, Page A2

Inquiry intensifies Vivid details emerge on Ukraine as impeachment quickens

Paying a high price The opioid crisis cost the U.S. economy $631 billion from 2015 through last year — and it may keep getting more expensive, according to a study released Tuesday by the Society of Actuaries. The biggest driver of the cost is unrealized lifetime earnings of those who died from the drugs, followed by health care costs. — Associated Press

New cold case site is a ‘call to action’ By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

as “three amigos” tied to the White House took over U.S. foreign policy toward the Eastern European ally. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, despite intensifying calls from Trump and Republicans to hold a formal vote to authorize the impeachment inquiry, showed no indication she would do so. She said Congress will continue its investigation as part of the Constitution’s system of checks and balances of the executive. “This is not a game for us. This is deadly serious. We’re on a path that is taking us, a path to the truth,” Pelosi

A Cold Case Investigation Unit webpage is now online, and is intended to keep the public better informed of cold case and missing persons investigations. The webpage, dps.alaska.gov/ AST/ABI/ColdCase, was also established to encourage people to come forward and help solve longstanding cold cases, the Alaska Department of Public Safety said in an Oct. 15 press release. The department is encouraging relatives of missing persons to contact Alaska State Troopers with information or to provide DNA. “With the advancement of DNA technology, the CCIU and the Missing Persons Clearinghouse have solved homicides and missing persons cases by working with victims’ family members who’ve come forward to provide DNA,” the release said. The webpage lists the names, case numbers, locations and the report date for unresolved homicide case victims and those who have gone missing under undetermined causes, the release said. “In a sense, we’re offering this revamped webpage as a call to action,” Colonel Barry Wilson, Director of the Alaska State Troopers, said. “We’re hoping the public will be inspired to get involved and help put more of these cases to rest. Any new information, DNA as a family member or dental records which may be matched to newly or previously discovered remains that have gone

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks at a news conference Tuesday on Capitol Hill about the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

By Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Laurie Kellman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The impeachment inquiry is revealing vivid new details about the high-level unease over President Donald Trump’s actions toward Ukraine, and those of his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, as the swift-moving probe by House Democrats showed no signs Tuesday of easing. The testimony from the witnesses, mainly officials from the State Department and other foreign

policy posts, is largely corroborating the account of the government whistleblower whose complaint first sparked the impeachment inquiry, according to lawmakers attending the closed-door interviews. One witness, former White House aide Fiona Hill, testified that national security adviser John Bolton was so alarmed by Giuliani’s back-channel activities in Ukraine that he described him as a “hand grenade who is going to blow everybody up.” Another, career State Department official George Kent, testified Tuesday he was told by administration officials to “lay low” on Ukraine

Federal effort to amend Roadless Rule draws fire By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

The U.S. Forest Service announced Tuesday it is looking to exempt the Tongass National Forest from the 2001 “Roadless Rule,” prompting outcry from local conservationists who say the land should remain protected from development. “Obviously we’re profoundly disappointed,” said Meredith Trainor, executive director at the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, said in an interview. “We’re ready to fight for the people of Southeast Alaska.” The Roadless Rule prohibits road construction or reconstruction and timber harvest on 58.5 million ares of National Forest System lands, according to the Forest Service. The Forest Service is now seeking public comment on alternatives to the Roadless Rule for a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS). The service has presented a range

of alternatives to the rule, many of which would allow timber harvest of old-growth forest. The service’s preferred alternative would remove 9.2 million acres of Tongass National Forest. Additionally it would convert 165,000 old-growth acres and 20,000 younggrowth acres previously designated as unsuitable for timber harvest to suitable land, according to a press release from the Forest Service. Trainor said that the decision to undo the Roadless Rule was less about economics and more about politics. “I think it’s a lot about people like Sen. (Lisa) Murkowski (R-Alaska) getting stuck on what Southeast Alaska’s economy could and should look like,” Trainor said. President Donald Trump’s administration signaled its intention to remove the Roadless Rule in August when the president instructed Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue to exempt the Tongass, the Washington

Post reported at the time. The Post reported that decision came following a meeting the president had with Gov. Mike Dunleavy aboard Air Force One in February. Dunleavy sent President Trump a letter on March 1, asking the president to exempt the Tongass. “Today’s announcement on the Roadless Rule is further proof that Alaska’s economic outlook is looking brighter every day,” Dunleavy said in a press release. “The ill-advised 2001 Roadless Rule shut down the timber industry in Southeast Alaska, wiping out jobs and economic opportunity for thousands of Alaskans. I thank the Forest Service for listening to Alaskans wishes by taking the first step to rebuilding an entire industry, putting Alaskans back to work, and diversifying Alaska’s economy.” In a joint statement, all three of Alaska’s delegates to Congress, Murkowski, Sen. Dan Sullivan and Rep. Don Young, all Republicans, lauded the move.

“I’m very pleased the administration has listened to Alaskans and is proposing a full exemption from the Roadless Rule as its preferred alternative,” Murkowski said in a statement. “This is important for a wide array of local stakeholders as we seek to create sustainable economies in Southeast Alaska.” But Trainor and others pointed out that timber currently accounts for less than 1% of Southeast Alaska’s economy. According to Southeast Conference, the regional development organization, the timber industry declined by 5% in 2018. In the statement, Sullivan said the Roadless Rule inhibits the construction of critical projects other than timber harvest that would provide and economic boost to the region. “The Roadless Rule hinders our ability to responsibly harvest timber, develop minerals, connect communities, or build energy projects to See roadless, Page A16

Federal author ities allege that Davidhizar illegally distributed large amounts of opioids and other powerful narcotics by writing prescriptions for patients without medical examinations and lacking medical necessity. Officials said that between 2017 and 2019 Davidhizar, who was reportedly known as “Candy Man,” prescribed more than 700,000 narcotic pills, including hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, methadone and tramadol. Licenses for the two prescribers have been deactivated, meaning opioid prescriptions, and in some cases other prescriptions,

Anchorage police have declined to comment on a previous investigation involving Smith. Police on Oct. 10 identified the woman killed as Henry, who was originally from Eek, a village 420 miles west of Anchorage. Police arrested Smith on Oct. 8 at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport as he returned from a trip. Police credit the woman who turned in the memory card for Smith’s timely arrest. He is the only suspect in the case and police do not believe he received assistance in filming the crime.

Park allows e-bikes on road, trails

FAIRBANKS — A Denali National Park and Preserve rule change allows electronically assisted bikes anywhere that traditional bicycles are permitted in, officials said. The National Park Service issued the e-bike directive at the end of August, The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Monday. The policy expanding recreational opportunities and accessibility allows the motorized vehicles on the entire length of the Denali Park Road, the park service said. “They make bicycle travel easier and more efficient, and they provide an option for people who want to ride a bicycle but might not otherwise do so because of physical fitness, age, disability or convenience, especially at high altitudes or in hilly or strenuous terrain,” National Park Service Deputy Director P. Daniel Smith said in a statement. Beyond the 92 miles of the Denali Park Road, e-bikes can travel on a single trail of Denali’s front country and into the backcountry via a limited number of access points, park public information officer G.W. Hitchcock said. — Associated Press

Shooting death demands thorough investigation

s Fort Worth grieves the unjustified death of Atatiana Jefferson at the hands of a police officer, words and actions are both crucial. So we were heartened by the honesty and completeness with which Mayor Betsy Price, City Manager David Cooke and interim police Chief Ed Kraus spoke Monday about the tragedy. The mayor’s tone was sorrowful and apologetic. She addressed specific issues, including the police department’s inflammatory initial focus on the presence of Jefferson’s gun at the scene of the shooting. She spoke directly to Jefferson’s family, including the nephew who had to watch his beloved aunt die. And she called for a complete, independent review of the department. The words were right. The investigation Now, the actions must be, ... must look at too. First, the case needs hiring practices, to go before a grand jury as soon as possible, and training, tactical officials moved to expedite that late Monday with procedures, use-ofthe arrest of the shooter, force instructions former Officer Aaron Dean, on a murder charge. Kraus suggested earlier and de-escalation Monday that, although he tactics. has talked with the Texas Rangers, the investigation will remain with Fort Worth police. We think that’s a mistake, and the decision puts pressure on Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson to ensure the case proceeds quickly and transparently. Next, the city must provide more information about exactly what happened. Kraus indicated Dean’s tactical response — parking around the corner with no lights and checking the yard — was appropriate. But why didn’t he identify himself as an officer? And why wouldn’t the proper response to a neighbor’s concern about an unusually open door be to knock and check on the occupants of the house? We need more information about Dean’s training and record, too. He was on the force for barely two years and an active officer for scarcely a year and a half. What was his disciplinary record? What training did he have? The mayor did the right thing by singling out Jefferson’s nephew and calling for the “entire city to surround him with prayers” and support. His life is forever altered, as is that of the neighbor, James Smith, who wanted only to help. For decades, the mantra has been: “If you see something, say something.” If Dean’s actions mean people are reluctant to call police when something seems amiss, our community’s loss will be compounded. Cooke indicated that national experts would review everything about the police department. Ensuring independence is paramount, but local voices, especially those who have long raised concerns about policing in Fort Worth, should be heard, too. The investigation can’t be too thorough. It must look at hiring practices, training, tactical procedures, use-of-force instructions and de-escalation tactics. And though it may cause discomfort, it must look at Fort Worth police culture. There was a poignant moment Monday when Kraus, in response to a question, said that officers sometimes need to “react with a servant’s heart instead of a warrior’s heart.” Many officers exhibit heroism and compassion on a regular basis, and they shouldn’t be tarnished by Dean’s mistakes. But changing the hearts of those with the wrong approach, or replacing them, is a long-term project that will take sustained attention from all levels of department and city leadership. On Monday, leaders said the right things. Now, the community must be patient so they have a chance to take the right actions. But we all must be vigilant in holding them accountable, too. — Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Oct. 14

You’re probably a socialist and don’t even know it

am a socialist! OK, I said it. And I suspect that many readers — whether they know it or not — are socialists too, and not just the people who support Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren in the presidential election. The word “socialism” has many connotations and like so much in our society today, many of those connotations are the product of ignorance. That’s because it’s hard to find a careful discussion of socialism without running off the deep end of Marxism, communism — and liberal Democrats. Many people, I’m sure, would rethink their views on socialism if they had just a little education. Just a little. Let’s first recall what we mean by capitalism: In capitalism, the means of production — the factories and farms — are owned by private individuals and sold in a competitive market place. If you make a product that people want, they’ll pay you for it, and your income depends on how much you sell. Of course, even under capitalism, it may be necessary for the government to provide some regulation, but by and large, capitalism is a system of economic freedom: If you provide a good or service that people want, you can sell it and make a living. Socialism is different, and a bit more complex. To simplify the explanation, let’s talk about two varieties of socialism: Big S Socialism, and little s

socialism. Big S Socialism is what many of us learned about in school. It refers to an economic system where the means of production — the factories and farms — are owned by the government. When early socialist philosophers wrote and talked about this sort of economic system, the idea was the state knew what was best for people and could produce the “right” goods and services. We do have a few examples of this sort of socialism in America today: Many communities have stateor city-owned utility companies. And while there are inevitably complaints that these “socialist” utility companies are inefficient or charge exorbitant prices, the alternative of lots of competitive, capitalist electric companies just doesn’t make sense. But such examples of Big S Socialism are few and far between in the United States. We are an overwhelmingly capitalist country. The other type of socialism — little s socialism — doesn’t refer to stateowned factories. It refers to how people receive the benefits of the economic system. Even under capitalism, some goods and services are distributed based on need instead of ability to pay. For example, early in the 20th century, the United States made the decision that everyone deserved a high school education whether they could pay for it or not. Police services are distributed the same way: If you

hear a burglar downstairs, you call 911 and expect to have a police officer at your house in just a few minutes. And you don’t need to give the operator your credit card information for payment; you get the benefit of police services whether you have a job and pay local taxes or not. That’s little s socialism, pure and simple. It’s this little s socialism that has become a hot topic in the election. Neither Bernie Sanders nor Elizabeth Warren are advocating big S Socialism and economic nationalism. But they do feel that our nation could use a bit more little s socialism. Free eduction through community college — advocated by both Sanders and Warren — is an extension to the policy our nation adopted a century ago. And Medicare for All doesn’t mean making all doctors government employees; it means only that medical care is so important that it is better allocated based on need instead of income. I have no idea who the Democrats will nominate next summer or even whether Trump will survive as long as the Republican convention. But I do know this: Using the term socialism to denigrate people, much less Democratic political candidates, does nothing to help us understand the issues surrounding the 2020 election.

Trump Jr. pitches to base while his father fights for Texas By Jonathan Lemire Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — Two days before President Donald Trump rallies in Texas, his eldest son on Tuesday looked to help him hang onto the reliably Republican state, playing to the conservative base by delivering red meat cultural attacks and lacing into several of his father’s possible Democratic foes. Donald Trump Jr., the swaggering embodiment of the Make America Great Again agenda, was the main event at a campaign event in San Antonio ahead of the president’s rally in Dallas on Thursday. Trump Jr. did not shy away from taking on the primary threat to his father’s presidency: the impeachment inquiry prompted by the elder Trump’s push for Ukraine to investigate Democratic Joe Biden and his son Hunter. “About the only job (Hunter Biden) could get would be a no-show job at a corrupt Ukrainian oil company because no one would else would hire this clown,” said Trump Jr., showing no self-awareness that he, too, has at least in part been successful because of a famous father. Channeling his father, Trump Jr. complained bitterly about what he deemed was unfair media coverage, declaring: “For 50 years, conservatives have turned the other cheek. I’m done turning the other cheek, guys!” The one-two punch in Texas this week displays a degree of wariness, drenched in bluster, from the Trump campaign about the Lone Star State. A Republican candidate can’t win

the White House without Texas’ 38 electoral college votes. Trump carried the state by 9 percentage points in 2016, but Democrats have pointed to demographic trends — including increases in college-educated voters, suburban voters and Hispanic voters — as evidence that the second most populous state in the nation could soon be in play. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz won reelection last year by just over 2 points. In the moments before Trump Jr. launched into his stump speech, his father’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, took a more data-driven approach. Parscale said his team had collected information from the several hundred people packed into a room in San Antonio’s convention center, and he urged them to recruit neighbors as volunteers as the operation looks to expand exponentially from its shoestring first run. “2016 was an airplane being built in the sky and we built the wheels on at just the right time,” said Parscale. “This time we are building a fleet.” The Trump campaign has proven to be a fundraising juggernaut, and Parscale touted other lofty statistical goals, including growing the volunteer pool from 600,000 in 2016 to 2 million this time. As an example of the expanded operation, the campaign has begun having preview events ahead of Trump’s rallies. On the eve of Trump’s raucous rally in Minneapolis last week, his daughter in-law Lara Trump and second lady Karen Pence held a much quieter “Women for Trump” meeting in St. Paul. More than 200 women listened to

the campaign’s pitch, as Pence and Lara Trump sat in armchairs on a small stage. Campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany asked them questions, talk-show style. Asked what young women should know about the president, Karen Pence said the president “cares about your pocketbook.” She continued: “This is a president who cares. When I see the way he engages with women it means a lot to me.” The Texas preview rally was far more raucous in tone, at times resembling an R-rated political roast. Trump Jr., whose own eventual political aspirations are the subject of growing rumors, has embraced his role as a popular emissary for his father, crisscrossing the country, showcasing his new relationship with former Fox News host Kim Guilfoyle and relishing button-pushing rally appearance and tweets. He riffed on political subjects, poking fun at Biden’s recent gaffes and mocking Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s claim of Native American heritage. He also took on cultural targets, laughing at Jussie Smollett, the actor who falsely said he was attacked by Trump supporters, and attacking hyper-political correctness, saying, “The amount of new genders multiply by 54 every day and I can’t keep track anymore.” Guilfoyle was also greeted as a rock star and acted like a bawdy opening act for her boyfriend, saying she has known the president and his eldest son for 14 years — but stressing, “I know Donald Trump Jr. a little bit better, let’s just get out of the way right now.”

Sondland to deny he was warned about Ukraine work By Eric Tucker Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, is prepared to tell lawmakers this week that top White House national security officials never personally raised concerns with him about his dealings with Rudy Giuliani in Ukraine, a person familiar with his account told The Associated Press on Tuesday. That statement would be contrary to earlier testimony that Sondland’s actions set off alarms in the West Wing. Sondland’s appearance is scheduled for Thursday, three days after former White House aide Fiona Hill testified that ex-national security adviser John Bolton was so disquieted by the back-channel Ukraine activities that he referred to Giuliani as a “hand grenade who is going to blow everybody up.” Hill recounted that Bolton also said he was not part of “whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up.” That’s a reference to White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

Sondland is appearing under subpoena before House committees conducting an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. He and several other envoys, along with Giuliani, were part of discussions in the summer and fall to offer Ukraine’s political leaders a White House visit in exchange for a commitment to conduct investigations sought by Trump, including into Burisma, an energy company with ties to the son of Democratic rival Joe Biden. His testimony was already highly anticipated, after Democrats released text messages between Sondland and other ambassadors discussing the possibility of Ukraine securing a visit with Trump. But the intrigue is even higher now after Hill’s testimony placed Sondland at the center of wide-ranging effort outside normal diplomatic channels to pressure Ukraine into politically charged investigations. Sondland is expected to defend himself by asserting that he was parroting the president’s words when he denied the existence of

a quid pro quo with Ukraine, and that he did not associate the energy company with the Biden family. Hill detailed Bolton’s concerns to lawmakers during testimony Monday and told them that she had at least two meetings with National Security Council lawyer John Eisenberg about the matter at Bolton’s request, according to a person familiar with the testimony who requested anonymity to discuss the confidential interview. The New York Times reported that Bolton had a tense encounter with Sondland on July 10 and instructed Hill to notify Eisenberg about Sondland’s work with Giuliani and Mulvaney. But the person close to Sondland said Tuesday that neither Bolton nor Hill raised any concerns with him. To bolster his account that officials did not sound the alarms to him about the Ukraine activities, Sondland is prepared to describe the aftermath of a meeting he had with Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Kurt Volker, the former special envoy to Ukraine.

One day after the meeting, Perry summarized the discussion to Bolton and recounted internal deliberations within the administration about when to organize the call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, according to a readout of the communication described by a person who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations. That call, now the basis of a whistleblower complaint, took place on July 25 and involved Trump repeatedly prodding Zelenskiy to investigate Biden’s son, Hunter. At the time, the Trump administration was withholding hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid from Ukraine. Perry said that he, Volker and Sondland had pushed to hold the call sooner than later to show support for Ukraine and to develop the relationship with the two countries, with the expectation that there would be unimpeded investigations. But he told Bolton that other staff wanted to wait until there was something more substantive to talk about. Bolton did not respond with

any concerns about Giuliani or the discussions, the person said. Sondland, who had agreed to be interviewed without a subpoena, was to have testified last week as part of the impeachment inquiry. But the White House blocked him, with Trump tweeting that “he’d be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court.” House Democrats quickly subpoenaed Sondland, and he agreed to comply. On Thursday, he is expected to be asked about text messages that show him and two other U.S. diplomats acting as intermediaries as Trump urged Ukraine to investigate the 2016 U.S. election and Burisma, the company linked to Biden’s son, Hunter. One of the texts shows Sondland addressing another envoy’s concerns about whether military aid was being withheld in exchange for the investigations by saying the diplomat, William “Bill” Taylor, was “incorrect about President Trump’s intentions. The president has been crystal clear no quid pro quo’s of any kind.”

Fort Worth chief: ‘Absolutely no excuse’ for woman’s killing By Jake Bleiberg and Jill Bleed Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — The furor Tuesday over the killing of a black woman by a white Fort Worth officer became increasingly about a gun pointed at a bedroom window. But the police chief and activists said the focus was on the wrong gun. Officer Aaron Dean was arrested on a murder charge Monday in the slaying of Atatiana Jefferson. Police released an arrest warrant Tuesday quoting the victim’s 8-yearold nephew as saying Jefferson

had pulled out a gun after hearing suspicious noises behind her house. Black politicians and others criticized the police and the media for bringing up Jefferson’s weapon, angrily accusing the department of trying to deflect blame onto an innocent victim. “The Fort Worth Police Department is going about the task of providing a defense for this officer,” said Lee Merritt, an attorney for the Jefferson family. Interim Police Chief Ed Kraus himself declared there was “absolutely no excuse” for the killing and said Jefferson behaved as any Texas

homeowner would have on hearing a prowler. It wasn’t clear from the warrant whether Dean even saw her weapon through the glass. The killing early Saturday shocked people across the U.S. and led many black people to wonder once more whether they are no longer safe from police in their homes. Earlier this month, a white former Dallas officer was convicted of murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison for killing a black neighbor in his own apartment. She said she mistook his place for hers and thought he was an intruder. Dean, 34, resigned and was arrested Monday for firing a single

bullet through a windowpane while investigating a neighbor’s report about the front door being left open at Jefferson’s home. Jefferson was staying up late, playing video games with her nephew. Police bodycam video showed Dean making his way around the side of the house into the backyard in the darkness and opening fire a split second after shouting at the 28-year-old Jefferson to show her hands. He did not identify himself as a police officer. In the arrest warrant, Jefferson’s nephew said his aunt had taken a gun from her purse and pointed it at the window. Over the weekend,

the Police Department also stirred anger by releasing images of the gun inside the home. State Rep. Harold Dutton, a black Democrat from Houston, blamed the media in part. “Why would you publicize that Ms. Jefferson had a gun in her home?” he asked. “I’m sure the police told you that. But that was her Second Amendment right, and equally as important, it had nothing to do with the incident for which we are here about. Too often, you, the media, have been complicit in throwing dirt on the victim while ignoring the real culprit, current law enforcement.”

Fearing abandonment, Kurds kept back channels open By Matthew Lee and Sarah el Deeb Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When Syria’s Kurdish fighters, America’s longtime battlefield allies against the Islamic State, announced over the weekend that they were switching sides and joining up with Damascus and Moscow, it seemed like a moment of geopolitical whiplash. But in fact, the move had been in the works for more than a year. Fearing U.S. abandonment, the Kurds opened a back channel to the Syrian government and the Russians in 2018, and those talks ramped up significantly in recent weeks, American, Kurdish and Russian officials told The Associated Press. “We warned the Kurds that the Americans will ditch them,” Russia’s ambassador to the European Union, Vladimir Chizhov, told Russia’s Tass news agency on Monday. The switch in allegiances is a stark illustration of how American foes like Russia and Syria are working steadily to fill the vacuum left by

President Donald Trump’s retreat in the region. It also betrays the anxiety that U.S. allies across the globe now feel in the face of Trump’s seemingly impulsive foreign policy decisions, which often come as a surprise to allies and critics alike. When Trump announced Oct. 6 that he was pulling American troops back from northeastern Syria, paving the way for an assault by Turkey, the Kurds knew exactly where to turn. Syria’s Kurds have publicly acknowledged courting the Syrian government and its allies over the past year. But much of the back-channel diplomacy, including the most recent talks, happened behind the scenes. Discussions between the Kurds, the Syrian government and Moscow began early last year as the Kurds grew nervous that the Americans would leave them in the lurch, Kurdish officials said. Pulling U.S. troops out of northeastern Syria would leave the Kurds directly in Turkey’s line of fire, because the Americans served as something of a

buffer between the two sides. The Turks have long been eager for an opportunity to go into Syria and flush out the Kurdish fighters, whom they consider terrorists. Turkey says the group is an offshoot of a Kurdish guerrilla group known as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, which has waged a decades-long insurgency inside Turkey. As Turkey spoiled for a fight, the Kurdish fighters were losing confidence in their alliance with the Americans. For five years, the Kurds had fought alongside U.S. soldiers and were vital to defeating the Islamic State group — something Trump repeatedly touts as a signature achievement of his presidency. After all that, would the Americans really abandon them? Trump sent signals they would, venting regularly about U.S. troops in Syria and wondering why U.S. soldiers were in the Middle East at all. The relationship with the Americans was wobbling. Sensing an opportunity, Moscow reached out to the Kurds and asked them to

forgo their alliance with the United States. Kurdish officials rejected the outreach publicly, saying they were sticking with the Americans. What happened next was, in many ways, a turning point. Turkey launched a military operation — with the blessing of Russia — in Afrin, a Kurdish area of northwestern Syria. The Kurds complained that the U.S. was standing by doing nothing while they took hit after hit from Turkey. Afrin has major significance to the Kurds. It’s one of the first Kurdish areas to rise up against Syrian President Bashar Assad and back self-rule, a base for senior fighters who pioneered the alliance with the Americans and a key link in their efforts to form a contiguous entity along Turkey’s border. The back-channel discussions heated up. In one of the first high-level meetings in Russia, a Kurdish delegation flew to Moscow in November 2018, where on the same day a Turkish senior security delegation was present. At the time,

In this Monday photo made available Tuesday, Turkey’s forces advance toward Manbij, Syria, on Monday. U.S. military spokesman says U.S. forces have left Kurdish-held town of Manbij, part of withdrawal from northeast Syria.

Arab newspapers reported that Turkey had proposed a 19-mile deep safe zone along the border. Russia argued for a 3- to 5-mile zone, but the Kurdish delegation rejected it. Days after, the same delegation, headed by a Kurdish militia leader, flew to Damascus, where it reportedly met with the Syrian intelligence chief and other senior security officials in the presence of a high-level Russian delegation. The secret meeting was

reported by a veteran Syrian reporter at Ashraq al-Awsat, a Saudi-owned newspaper, who said the Kurdish delegation told Damascus they did not want to repeat the Afrin mistake and were ready to show flexibility. The meeting resulted in the first cooperation between the Kurdish group and the Syrian government — at least in public. And it signaled the fraying ties with the U.S.

Mexico: Families of slain police angry, AMLO defends policy By Mark Stevenson Associated Press

MORELIA, Mexico — Grieving relatives of 13 police officers killed in an apparent cartel ambush gathered outside a funeral home Tuesday, many of them angry at the government and police commanders they believe sent their loved ones to a certain death. “The good ones are here,”

said the brother of slain officer Marco Antonio González, gesturing at the huge funeral hall. “And those responsible for this, they are also here,” the brother said just as the Michoacan state police chief and his top brass got out of cars. The man and other relatives refused to give their names for fear of reprisals in this western Mexico state where violence blamed on

drug gangs has jumped in recent months. A memorial service later in the day was an angry, raw-nerved affair. Only eight coffins were present — mourners said the five other families refused to participate because they were so angry their sons and brothers had been sent on the mission that was attacked. Some shouted at Gov. Silvano Aureoles: “Like sheep

to the slaughter!” More than 30 suspected cartel gunmen waylaid the police officers in the town of El Aguaje on Monday as they were traveling in a convoy to serve a warrant. Nine officers were also wounded in the worst attack on Mexican law enforcement in years. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador called the attack “regrettable,” but said he remains committed

to his security approach emphasizing tackling underlying social problems even though national homicide figures have been setting all-time highs.“We are going to continue with our strategy,” López Obrador said Tuesday. “For us it is very important for there to be wellbeing, that peace with justice can be achieved … and also avoiding that authorities mix with crime.”

BRUSSELS — European Union officials hoped to sketch out a Brexit deal with Britain within hours, but negotiations stretched into early Wednesday in the latest effort at producing an agreement in more than three years of false starts and sudden reversals.

Britain and the EU have been here before — within sight of a deal only to see it dashed — but a surge in the British pound Tuesday indicated hope that this time could be different. The currency rose against the dollar to its highest level in months. Even though many questions remain, diplomats made it clear that both sides were within touching distance of a deal for the first time since a U.K. withdrawal plan fell apart in the British House of Commons in March. Still, talks that first lingered into Tuesday night turned into negotiating past midnight as no deal materialized between experts from both sides holed up at EU headquarters in a darkened Brussels. Late Tuesday, Martin Schirdewan, a German member of the European Parliament’s Brexit Steering Group, said an agreement was “now within our grasp” following a breakthrough in negotiations.

When Dad left Ginger at the church Pioneer potluck ‘Grannie’ Annie Berg

hese are memories of my sister Ginger, who is having serious medical issues — Prayers are appreciated! Fort Collins, Colorado, about 1945 or ’46 at the Presbyterian church After church we all piled back into the pea green four-door Dodge. There must have been about 14 of us in the car this particular Sunday. For some reason, I think Dad needed to get gas in the car. He always got gas

at the Boxelder Gas Station about 4 miles east of town on our way home. He skipped the trip to the Poudre Valley Creamery and told us we could have an ice cream cone at the gas station that carried the Poudre Valley dairy products and the same hand-scooped ice cream. Like all gas stations in that era, it was a meeting place for gossip and the latest news or to get a jug of milk, a package of gum, a sucker or soda pop (Orange Crush was my favorite). One of my brothers liked Grape Crush. Root Beer was Dad’s favorite. We all piled out of the car and Dad was counting how many cones he was going to pay for and he came up missing one kid — Ginger! He turned a “pale shade of white.” (Dad’s terminology — kinda like dark black!) He half shouted, “Anyone seen Ginger?” “No …” we all said. He shouted to all of us “GET BACK IN THE CAR!”

There was such urgency in his voice, we all rushed back to the car and piled in. Dad started the car, put it in gear and (another terminology) “turned on a dime in the middle of the road and left some change” and we roared back into town. Dad was muttering under his breathe over and over, “I musta’ left her — OH MY GOSH!” He stared intently at the road with his hands gripped on the steering wheel, which caused all his passengers to do the same. No one uttered a word, as Dad barely stopping at stop signs, sometimes not at all, taking short cuts and careening around corners. We were all holding our breath as he pulled up the big church. At the very top of the stairs was Ginger, crying and sobbing. She was sitting beside Dad’s good friend Reverend Grether. Dad jumped out of the car and ran up

the stairs. Ginger stood up and with all her 5-year-old might, said “Daddy! YOU left me! You, you left me!” It broke Dad’s heart! He picked her up and gave her a big hug. He told her over and over again how sorry he was. He shook Reverend Grether’s hand, walked down the stairs with Ginger clinging to his neck, head on his shoulder, sobbing and sobbing. He opened the car door and told whoever was sitting in the front seat to “scoot over!” He put Ginger in and slipped in behind the wheel. He patted her on the head and drove off with his arm around her — all the way back to the ice cream place. Dad, the great storyteller, NEVER EVER told this story! So we told it time and time again. “Dad, remember when you left See annie, Page A8

The dirty dozen of kitchen errs Stop fiddling with the food ... and 11 other mistakes cooks make

By Katie Workman Associated Press

We all love getting kitchen tips, those little tricks we should be doing to make us better cooks. But sometimes it’s the things we should stop doing that matter. A dozen common kitchen mistakes, and how to easily correct them:

Not reading the recipe all the way through Before you start cooking, make sure you a) have all the ingredients, b) think through the timing of the steps and c) look up directions that might be confusing. This way, you don’t find yourself staring at the recipe in dismay when the words “marinate overnight” or “chill for at least four hours” pop up at the same moment your kids yell, “What’s for dinner?”

2. Using too small a tool Ever try blending dough in too small a bowl? Transferring a casserole into a too-tight baking dish? Chopping a pound of spinach on a tiny cutting board? Using a paring knife to dismantle a squash? Bigger is mostly better when it comes to kitchen prep. It means less mess, less overflow in the oven and, often, more safety.

Not prepping ingredients As you get more comfortable in the kitchen, you will learn to multi-task, so you are mincing fresh herbs while the chopped onions are browning. But if you’re still getting your kitchen sea legs, have all your ingredients prepped

and ready to go before you begin cooking. The French call this mis en place, or everything in its place. It means that when the recipe says, “add onions, garlic and oregano to the pan,” the onions are chopped, the garlic is minced and the oregano leaves are pulled from the stem before you start cooking any of them.

Working with a dull knife Sharp knives are safer than dull ones that slip and slide. If you don’t have a knife-sharpening tool, or feel intimidated by the task, “There are lots of stores and services that can help you out,” says Alison Cayne, founder of Haven’s Kitchen cooking school in New York City. “You are not expected to know how to sharpen yourself!” Many kitchen stores, like Williams-Sonoma or Sur la Table, will sharpen knives, and you can look for other places online. You might even be able to get your knives picked up and dropped off.

Overcooking Remember to account for “carry-over cooking” — the fact that when you take food from the heat, it will continue to cook. Carry-over cooking is often discussed with meat, since meat’s internal temperature will continue to rise even after you pull it from a hot pan. Pork chops can go from just done and juicy to dry and tough. But carry-over cooking also applies to lots of foods, including baked goods and vegetables. Roasted asparagus that comes out of the oven tender can get too soft upon sitting, so pull it out a few minutes before it’s reached the

Katie Workman / Associated Press

From avoiding unsalting to making sure you’re not working with a dull knife, there are certain mistakes that are pretty easy to avoid in the kitchen, once you know what to look out for. Others include not fiddling with the food while it cooks and not forgetting about carryover cooking.

doneness you are looking for.

Cutting meat before it’s had a chance to rest Allowing meat and poultry to sit for a while after it is removed from the stove, grill or oven not only lets it finish cooking but ensures that the juices stay inside, where they belong. When meat cooks, its protein fibers contract, and if you cut into it right away they won’t have had a chance to relax and reabsorb the juices. This is why

you might cut into a steak right off the grill and see it perfectly cooked to a beautiful rare or medium rare, and then a few minutes later it seems to have lost its rosy hue, and all its juices are on the cutting board. Let thick steaks rest 8 to 10 minutes before cutting. Big roasts or whole birds should rest between 20 and 30 minutes before carving. This may seem like a long time, but rest assured the meat will still be warm.

Taking the suggested cooking time on the package as gospel “When I cook pasta at home, I never follow the cooking times on the package. I generally cook it two minutes less. This way, after you strain it and it sits a little, it won’t overcook,” says Bill Telepan, executive chef at Oceana Restaurant in New York. “Even better,” he says, “if you put slightly See mistakes, Page A8

Can’t eat red meat? Food advice questioned anew By Candice Choi Associated Press

NEW YORK — So is red meat good or bad for you? If the answer were only that simple. A team of international researchers recently rattled the nutrition world by saying there isn’t enough evidence to tell people to cut back on red or processed meat, seemingly contradicting advice from prominent health experts and groups including the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association. But the researchers didn’t say people should eat more meat, or that it’s healthy. No new studies were conducted, and they reported no new understanding of meat’s effects on the body. Instead, the papers offer a new approach to giving advice about food and health — and a rebuke to how it’s often done. The dispute lays bare problems with nutrition research long acknowledged in the scientific world: Nutrition studies are almost never conclusive, and whatever supposed risk and benefits there are to any food are often

oversimplified. “People like bumper sticker guidance,” said Dr. Walter Willett, a professor of nutrition at Harvard who has led studies tying meat to bad health. Now health experts are wrestling with how solid scientific findings should be before guidance is issued, how to address biases that might skew conclusions and whether the pleasure we get from eating should be considered. The scrutiny is likely to spill over to other dietary advice as obesity becomes an ever more critical public health concern, and people become increasingly frustrated with flip-flopping messages.

Meat two ways The papers analyzed past studies on red and processed meat and generally corroborated the links to cancers, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But they said the chance of any benefit from eating less of them appeared small or negligible. For every 1,000 people, for instance, cutting back on red meat by three servings a week was

linked to seven fewer deaths from cancer. For some other health measures, like strokes, the difference was smaller or nonexistent. What’s more, the researchers said there’s little certainty meat was the reason for the differences. Uncertainty is common in nutrition research. Many studies about food and health are based on links researchers make between people’s health and what they say they eat. But that doesn’t prove one causes the other. If a thin person loves cereal and eats it nearly every day, for instance, that doesn’t mean cereal is the reason they’re thin. Health experts who defend advice to cut back meat say the researchers were applying an unreasonable standard — evaluating the strength of the meat studies with a method intended for medical studies, where a specific dose of drug can be tested under controlled conditions. With nutrition, they say it’s impossible to conduct studies where people’s diets and lifestyles are controlled and monitored over long periods. They say the statistical signals they see in nutrition

studies are meaningful, and that people should be given guidance on the best available data.

Person vs. population If it’s true that there would be seven fewer cancer deaths for every 1,000 people who cut back on red meat, then it is also true that 993 of those people would not see that benefit even if they ate fewer burgers. For many public health experts, the potential for those seven fewer deaths is worth making a broad recommendation to limit meat. Across an entire population, the numbers could add up to many lives saved. But the question is where to draw the line, and at what point the potential benefit is too small and uncertain to ask people to change their behavior. The authors also argue the individual being asked to change their behavior should be considered. For those who regularly eat and enjoy meat, cutting back on it may seem drastic if all they are getting in return is small reduction in risk, if any at all.

“Recommendations should consider the values and preferences of people who actually bear the consequences,” said Bradley Johnston, lead author of the papers, who specializes in research methodologies.

Tilting the evidence Given the uncertainties of nutrition science, another longrunning concern is the potential for findings to be skewed by personal beliefs or financial incentives. The latest papers were no exception, with critics and supporters each pointing to factors that could have influenced the others’ position. Critics noted Johnston, the lead author, undermined another dietary recommendation in the past. He previously led a study funded by the food industry that challenged guidelines to limit added sugars, which serves the interests of many food companies. That paper initially said the authors independently wrote the See meat, Page A8

Slow-braised fresh lima beans are ready when you are By Ben Mims Los Angeles Times

As a pantry staple, you can’t beat dried beans. They’re cheap, store well for a long time, and are filling and hearty. But the thing is, I just don’t have the patience for them. I often get the hankering for beans as soon as I’m hungry, and well, there’s no time for that critical step of soaking them overnight. That’s why I often used canned beans for my weeknight cooking. But when fresh beans are in season in late summer and early autumn, I relish the time-intensive task of plucking them from the shells then baking them in a slow oven until tender. Because I can be bothered to tediously open bean pods but can’t entertain tending a pot on the stove for hours, my preferred bean-cooking method is to chuck them in a baking dish with water and aromatics and let the oven do its thing. The usual suspects are present: onion, carrot and celery, along with whatever fresh, hardy herbs I have hanging out in the fridge. But then I toss in a few strips of prosciutto (Have a couple errant slices of bacon? Use those) to add their characteristic smoky, salty umami flavor. A dried chile de arbol spikes the low drum of the other aromatics.

plan for the study. After emails obtained by the Associated Press showed the industry group sent “requested revisions,” the paper was corrected to say the group reviewed and approved the plan. Johnston and supporters of the papers countered, saying critics have long advised people to limit meat and could feel the need to defend their position. The back-and-forth underscores the difficulty of ruling out the biases any researcher is likely to have, given the amount of industry money in nutrition research

Ginger at the church?” He would hang his head and say “Yes, yes, I know.” The worst part of the story was, HE had to tell Mom! Ginger’s place, from then on, was in the front seat, next to Dad. We never, ever, complained about it, because we all knew why! ANOTHER GINGER STORY — MY VERY FAVORITE: I have a favorite picture of Ginger and her teddy bear near my computer. She was never ever without her teddy bear. It went everywhere with her! If it was temporarily lost everyone stopped what they were doing to find Ginger’s teddy bear. In my memory’s eye I never think of Ginger unless I see the teddy bear in her arms. NO one touched Ginger’s Teddy Bear!

and the strong beliefs people often have about food. Meat is an especially polarizing topic, given the animal welfare and environmental consequences that come with it. That could further confuse people about who or what to believe, or they just focus on research that backs up what they want to believe.

Lost in translation Wherever researchers stand on meat, there’s agreement that the nuances of nutrition science often get lost in translation. Foods are often labeled as good or bad, even when researchers try to be nuanced.

no dried ones, use that. Similarly, I often buy the “poultry” packets of fresh herbs, which contain both rosemary and sage, and thyme, so that I can use them all without having to buy large amounts of either. 4½ cups shelled fresh lima beans ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 sage leaf 1 small sprig rosemary 1 bay leaf 1 dried chile de arbol 6 peeled garlic cloves 4 strips prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces ¼ medium yellow onion, halved lengthwise ½ small carrot ½ small celery stalk, plus chopped celery leaves for serving Toasted bread, for serving Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the beans in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and add the olive oil, salt, sage, rosemary, bay leaf, chili, garlic, prosciutto, onion, carrot and celery. Pour in 4 cups water. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking until beans are tender and the liquid is slightly reduced, 1 hour more. Remove the dish from the oven and let the beans cool for 5 minutes. Spoon into bowls, drizzle with more olive oil if you like, and sprinkle with celery leaves. Serve with bread for soaking up all the bean liquid. Serves 4 to 6.

Take red meat. The advice to “limit” it often doesn’t specify by how much, which could lead people to think cutting back is good regardless of the context. But in poorer countries, red meat might help improve diets. In richer countries, Willett said the benefits of cutting back would vary depending on what replaces it, and that pizza might not be an improvement. Still, Willett and others who criticized last week’s papers say the many Americans who eat red meat once a day or more could benefit from eating less. There’s no consistent recommendation for an acceptable amount. The American Cancer Society’s experts say “a few”

servings a week or less. A study by Willett, which also addressed the environmental impact of food, advised a limit of one serving a week. Public health experts want to give people advice that’s easy to communicate. But most acknowledge that doing a better job of conveying nuances and uncertainties could help prevent mistrust and confusion.

have focused on the saturated fat found in foods like meat, butter and some packaged foods, saying it should be limited to 10% of calories. As advice around specific foods changes, health experts have increasingly focused on the importance of overall diets. Some note focusing on single foods, which often have a complex mix of nutrients, can also distract from a simpler message: Don’t eat too much, since eating more calories than you burn makes you gain weight. “If everyone would just pay attention to that one, we would solve a lot of problems,” said Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition and food policy at New York University.

A Note about Mom and her biscuits: She loved biscuits with honey or maple syrup or jam on them. Us kids loved them swimming in maple syrup. Uncle Guy lived with us for several years and he liked gravy on his. He would wait until the last biscuit was left on the plate and the last dab of gravy in the bowl, then he would say to Mom, “L-L-L-Loretta, could I have that l-l-last biscuit and gravy?” We all knew to leave the last one for Uncle Guy and Mom always waited until he asked for it!

for the sauce and call it a day. Conversely, don’t make the whole sauce recipe and add salt at the end. Add a bit of salt, and adjust other seasonings as you build the dish, tasting as you go, if possible.

Forgetting to salt the cooking water Add salt to the water — whether for pasta, vegetables, poaching shrimp or chicken — until it actually tastes salty. Your food won’t absorb all this salt by a long shot, but it will become seasoned and more flavorful. For pasta, grains or some vegetables like potatoes, this really makes a difference, as the starch is absorbing the salted water as it cooks.

Skimping on the time it takes to fully preheat your oven The beep indicating your oven has reached the desired temperature is probably a bit premature, says Dorie Greenspan, author of the cookbook “Everyday Dorie: The Way I Cook.” Says Greenspan: “An oven repair person once told me that when the light on my oven indicated that it had reached temperature, I should wait another 15 minutes before putting in whatever I was baking. The oven needs that time to be truly at temperature, and to be able to hold its temperature when you open the door. This is particularly important with cookies because they bake for such a short time.” She advises keeping a thermometer in your oven.

Cole dazzles, Astros take 2-1 ALCS series lead over Yanks By Mike Fitzpatrick AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Gerrit Cole is making his pitch to own this October. A gritty Cole held the New York Yankees scoreless without his sharpest stuff, Jose Altuve sparked Houston at the plate and the Astros locked down a 4-1 victory Tuesday to take a 2-1 lead in the AL Championship Series. Altuve and Josh Reddick homered early off Luis Severino, who labored into the fifth while keeping the Yankees close. But they never broke through against Cole, who grinded through seven innings to win his 19th straight decision despite walking five batters for the second time in his career. “Just boiled down to making some good pitches under pressure,” he said. Cole escaped a bases-loaded

jam in the first and stranded nine runners through five, improving to 3-0 with a 0.40 ERA in three playoff outings this year. Poised to become a prized free agent who could command more than $200 million, he’s putting together a dominant run that’s beginning to rival some of baseball’s greatest postseason pitching performances. The 29-year-old right-hander, unbeaten in 25 starts since late May, allowed four hits and struck out seven. That ended a streak of 11 consecutive games with doubledigit strikeouts — the previous big league record was eight. Cole led the majors with 326 Ks this season. “I think he’s the best pitcher in baseball right now,” Astros manager AJ Hinch said. “Gerrit is locked in. And to see him do it on the big stage in a playoff game with the magnitude of this game, it was pretty awesome.”

Game 4 in the best-of-seven playoff is scheduled for Wednesday night — but that could change. The gloomy weather forecast calls for a substantial rainstorm, potentially forcing a postponement that would likely alter pitching plans for both teams. Gleyber Torres homered in the eighth off Houston reliever Joe Smith, one batter after replay umpires reversed a call and ruled Edwin Encarnación out at first base. That led to a little trash and a ball being thrown onto the field before public address announcer Paul Olden reminded fans not to toss any objects out of the stands. Roberto Osuna got three quick outs in the ninth for a save. “Two more to go,” Osuna said. “I’m excited.” The bushy-haired Cole grew up in California rooting for the Yankees and was drafted by them

28th overall in 2008. He didn’t sign, choosing instead to attend UCLA before the Pittsburgh Pirates selected him with the top pick in 2011. Making his second career start at Yankee Stadium, he got away with several pitches in key situations. Other times, Cole flashed the filthy breaking balls and 98-100 mph heat that have made him so unhittable in October — and unbeatable since May. His winning streak is the longest by a pitcher in one year since Rube Marquard began 19-0 for the 1912 New York Giants. “He’s exceptional. And he gets better and better and better,” Hinch said. “Once he found his curveball, it was pretty lights out. I think he finished his outing as strong as ever.” After rolling to a 7-0 victory in the series opener, the Yankees — the highest-scoring team in the majors

this season — have totaled three runs on two homers in the last 20 innings. “It’s obviously a little frustrating we weren’t able to break through with him,” manager Aaron Boone said. “But I think up and down we gave ourselves a chance. And anytime you’re facing a guy like that, you want that kind of traffic. And we had that in several innings. He made big pitches when he had to.” With two on in the fifth and the Astros clinging to a 2-0 lead, Didi Gregorius lofted a high fly that Reddick caught at the right field fence. “The emotions kind of followed the flyball, right?” Cole explained. “So it was kind of like low, to freaking out, to not so worried anymore.” The three-time All-Star finally found his rhythm after that, retiring his last seven batters with three strikeouts.

Nationals win NLCS

Washington sweeps Cards, off to World Series By Howard Fendrich AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Washington Nationals moved a party 86 years in the making from their ballpark’s infield to a booze-filled clubhouse, manager Dave Martinez paused near the dugout and thrust the silver NL Championship Series trophy overhead, to the delight of loud, delirious fans still in the stands. Who would have thought this was possible five months ago, when the team was flailing, trade talk was swirling around Washington and folks figured Martinez’s job was in jeopardy? From 19-31 during a mediocre May to the Fall Classic in an outstanding October — and the city’s first World Series appearance since 1933. Extending their stunning turnaround, the wild-card Nationals got RBIs from middle-of-the-order stars Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto in a seven-run first inning Tuesday night, and Patrick Corbin’s 12-strikeout performance plus a trio of relievers helped hold on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-4 in Game 4 to complete a sweep in the NLCS. “Often, bumpy roads lead to beautiful places,” said Martinez, who underwent a heart procedure in September, “and this is a beautiful place.” Right from the first inning Tuesday, most in a sellout crowd of 43,976 rose from their seats to applaud or yell or twirl their red towels, to chant “Let’s go,

Nats!” and “M-V-P!” and various players’ names, enjoying every moment of that game-deciding outburst. And then, a couple of hours and several innings later, as Tanner Rainey, Sean Doolittle and Daniel Hudson were protecting a shrinking lead, those same spectators stood and shouted and reveled some more. “I just kept counting down: We’re 12 outs from the World Series. We’re nine outs from the World Series,” shortstop Trea Turner said. “Six. Three.” Now the Nationals get plenty of time to rest and set up their so-far terrific rotation before beginning the last series of the season against the Houston Astros or New York Yankees in a week. Houston leads the best-ofseven AL Championship Series 2-1 after winning Game 3 at New York 4-1 Tuesday. The Nationals became the fourth team to reach the World Series after being 12 games under .500. “We think we can compete with any team, any time,” NLCS MVP Howie Kendrick said. “People always get caught up in the things that are on paper, but the reality of it is you have to go out and play. Once we get out on the field, anything can happen.” The last time the World Series came to the nation’s capital, more than eight decades ago, the Washington Senators lost to the New York Giants in five games. Have to go even further back, to 1924, for the city’s lone baseball championship, when the Senators defeated

the Giants. The Senators eventually left, and the town didn’t have a major league team at all for more than three decades until the Montreal Expos — who were founded in 1969 and never made it to the World Series — moved to Washington in 2005. The Nationals had never managed to advance in the postseason since arriving, going 0-4 in the NLDS over the last seven years, including three Game 5 losses at home. First baseman Ryan Zimmerman, the Nationals’ first draft pick in Washington, was there for all of that heartache. “Sometimes,” he said, “you got to wait for good things.” This month alone, the Nationals beat the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL wild-card game after trailing 3-1 heading to the eighth, and eliminated the league-best Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the NL Division Series after trailing 3-1 heading to the eighth again. Then came this lopsided dismissal of the NL Central champion Cardinals, who were outscored 20-6 in the series. “Of course, we could’ve played better,” said St. Louis first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who was 1 for 16 with nine strikeouts in the NLCS, “but we didn’t.”

Corbin, a left-handed pitcher signed with $140 million of the money that became available last offseason when Bryce Harper left town to join the Philadelphia Phillies, was not quite the equal of Washington’s other starters in the series. Still, he did become the first pitcher to strike out 10 batters in the first four innings of a postseason game and earned the win after allowing four runs in five innings. Then Martinez turned to his NL-worst bullpen, such a problem for so much of this season. After Rainey got three outs, and Doolittle got five, Hudson came in for his fourth save in four chances this postseason. It wasn’t easy, though: After replacing Doolittle with two outs in the eighth, Hudson hit his first batter and walked his second, bringing pinch-hitter Matt Carpenter to the plate as the go-ahead run with the bases loaded. Carpenter, a career .481 batter with the bases full, grounded out to second baseman Brian Dozier, a defensive replacement who briefly lost the ball before gathering it and throwing to first to end that inning. Hudson finished things with a perfect ninth, getting Tommy Edman on a fly ball to center field to end it, and red fireworks went

off around the stadium. Corbin got this evening started with a 1-2-3 top of the first, striking out all three Cardinals with a high, 95 mph fastball, a real contrast to the off-speed stuff Stephen Strasburg used for his own dozen Ks a night earlier. In the bottom half, Washington put up those seven runs, all charged to rookie Dakota Hudson, who lasted all of 15 pitches — doing to the Cardinals what they did in the previous round, when they scored 10 to open Game 5 of the NLDS against Atlanta. All the heartache of playoffs past seemed to dissipate during an evening that only briefly was tense for the home team and its supporters: In the fifth, a juggled Cardinals lineup finally awoke, scoring three runs — one more than the team managed to produce in Games 1-3 combined — to get within 7-4. With a man on second and the tying run in the on-deck circle, Corbin came through, striking out St. Louis’ 3-4 hitters, Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna, with sliders. After becoming comeback specialists, the Nationals never trailed against the Cardinals. And dating to the final week of the regular season, Washington has won 16 of its past 18 games.

Vasilevskiy leads Lightning to 3-1 win over Canadiens to stay hot on road Vasilevskiy leads Lightning to a 3-1 win over Canadiens MONTREAL (AP) — Andrei Vasilevskiy made 33 saves to help the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 on Tuesday night in the fifth game of a six-game road trip. Braydon Coburn, Steven Stamkos and Tyler Johnson scored for the Lightning (3-2-1), who were coming off a 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Nikita Kucherov added two assists. The 25-year-old Vasilevskiy improved to 8-1-2 in his career against Montreal. Jeff Petry scored the lone goal for the Canadiens (2-22) while Carey Price stopped 19-of-22 shots in defeat.

Running out of space: Alaska prisoners to be sent out of state By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

The Alaska Department of Corrections is beginning a process to house prisoners outside of Alaska, DOC Commissioner Nancy Dahlstrom said in a press conference Tuesday. The state’s prisons are currently at 97% capacity, Dahlstrom said, and if current trends continue the state will reach capacity in the coming

told reporters after a closeddoor session with House Democrats. With Ukraine situated between the United States’ Western allies and Russia, Pelosi noted the inquiry raises fresh questions about Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “All roads seem to lead to Putin with the president,” she said. Democratic leaders had been gauging support for a vote to authorize the impeachment inquiry after Trump and Republicans pushed them for a roll call.

months. “We’re confident this is the best way to address our increases,” Dahlstrom said. ‘We are not closing any facilities or issuing any layoffs.” Dahlstrom said that the “crime bill” House Bill 49, which made sentences harsher, raised the prison population since its implementation earlier this year. In a press release, DOC said that since July 2019 the state’s inmate population

Holding a vote would test politically vulnerable Democrats in areas where the president is popular. Trump calls the impeachment inquiry an “illegitimate process” and is blocking officials from cooperating. But several Democratic freshmen who are military veterans or had careers in national security before joining Congress spoke up during the meeting Tuesday, warning Pelosi and her leadership team a vote was unnecessary and would be playing into Republicans’ hands, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss the private session. The inquiry is moving quickly as a steady stream of officials appear behind closed doors this week, some providing new revelations about

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Oct. 16, the 289th day of 2019. There are 76 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 16, 1962, the Cuban missile crisis began as President John F. Kennedy was informed that reconnaissance photographs had revealed the presence of missile bases in Cuba. On this date: In 1793, during the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette, the queen of France, was beheaded. In 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown led a group of 21 men in a raid on Harpers Ferry in western Virginia. (Ten of Brown’s men were killed and five escaped. Brown and six followers were captured; all were executed.) In 1901, Booker T. Washington dined at the White House as the guest of President Theodore Roosevelt, whose invitation to the black educator sparked controversy. In 1916, Planned Parenthood had its beginnings as Margaret Sanger and her sister, Ethel Byrne, opened the first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York. (The clinic ended up being raided by police and Sanger was arrested.) In 1934, Chinese Communists, under siege by the Nationalists, began their “long march” lasting a year from southeastern to northwestern China. In 1968, American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos sparked controversy at the Mexico City Olympics by giving “black power” salutes during a victory ceremony after they’d won gold and bronze medals in the 200-meter race. In 1969, the New York Mets capped their miracle season by winning the World Series, defeating the Baltimore Orioles, 5-3, in Game 5 played at Shea Stadium. In 1978, the College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church chose Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (voy-TEE’-wah) to be the new pope; he took the name John Paul II. In 1987, a 58-1/2-hour drama in Midland, Texas, ended happily as rescuers freed Jessica McClure, an 18-month-old girl trapped in a narrow, abandoned well. In 1991, a deadly shooting rampage took place in Killeen, Texas, as a gunman opened fire at a Luby’s Cafeteria, killing 23 people before taking his own life. In 1995, a vast throng of black men gathered in Washington, D.C. for the “Million Man March” led by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. In 2002, President George W. Bush signed a congressional resolution authorizing war against Iraq. The White House announced that North Korea had disclosed it had a nuclear weapons program. Ten years ago: The government reported that the federal budget deficit for the just-ended fiscal year totaled an all-time high of $1.42 trillion (a record which still stands). Agricultural officials said pigs in Minnesota had tested positive for the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, the first such cases in the U.S. Five years ago: During a special congressional hearing on the Ebola crisis, Republican lawmakers pressed for a ban on travel to the U.S. from the West African outbreak zone; the White House resisted the idea and tried to tamp down fear as the pool of Americans being monitored expanded. Travis Ishikawa hit the first homer to end an NL Championship Series, a three-run drive that sent San Francisco to a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5. One year ago: A Turkish official said police searching the Saudi Consulate found evidence that Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi (jah-MAHL’ khahr-SHOHK’-jee) had been killed there. President Donald Trump, in an Associated Press interview, criticized the global condemnation of Saudi Arabia over the disappearance of Khashoggi, describing it as a rush to judgment like the one he said had been aimed at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

had grown by 250, or 5%. DOC will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) later this week to solicit bids for housing inmates out of state. The initial proposal is set for a 3-year contract with the possibility to extend, according to the press release. Dahlstrom said that the RFP will require that out-of-state facilities provide a comparable level of services as Alaska prisons, including

the events surrounding the July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. It is on that call that Trump urged Zelenskiy to investigate a firm tied to political rival Joe Biden’s family and Ukraine’s own involvement in the 2016 presidential election. In a daylong session Tuesday, House investigators heard from Kent, who was concerned about the “fake news smear” against the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, whom Trump recalled in May, according to emails obtained by The Associated Press. Kent told the lawmakers that he “found himself outside a parallel process” and had warned others about Giuliani as far back as March. He felt the shadow diplomacy was undermining decades of foreign policy and the rule of law in Ukraine and that was “wrong,” said Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. Connolly said Kent described the results of a May 23 meeting at the White House, organized by Trump’s acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, where three administration officials — U.S. ambassador Gordon

rehabilitation and “evidencedbased programming.” According to the Department of Justice, prison programming, “encompasses a broad array of services and interventions, including substance abuse treatment, educational programming, and sex offender treatment.” Dahlstrom said it was not yet known what kinds of facilities will house Alaska’s inmates, but

Sondland, special envoy Kurt Volker and Energy Secretary Rick Perry — declared themselves the people now responsible for Ukraine policy. “They called themselves the three amigos,” Connolly said Kent testified, and they said as much to Zelenskiy in Ukraine when they visited. Kent also told them that Trump, through the Office of Management and Budget, which Mulvaney previously led, was holding up military aid to Ukraine while pressing Zelenskiy to investigate a company linked to Biden’s son. “He was clearly bothered by the role Mr. Giuliani was playing,” Connolly said. In 10 hours of testimony Monday, Hill, the former White House aide who was a top adviser on Russia, recalled to investigators that Bolton had told her he was not part of “whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up,” an apparent reference to talks over Ukraine. She testified that Bolton asked her to take the concerns to National Security Council lawyer John Eisenberg. As White House lawyers now try to learn more about the handling of the Ukraine

said that private prisons would be considered. Only sentenced inmates with a minimum of seven years left on their sentence will be sent out of state, Dahlstrom said. As for the cost, “I can’t speak to the exact cost now but traditionally it has cost less to send them out of state,” she said. Dahlstrom said that further details would be contained in the RFP.

call, Eisenberg is coming under particular scrutiny, said one White House official. He was both the official who ordered that the memorandum of the call be moved to a highly-classified system, and the one who involved the Justice Department in a complaint from the CIA general counsel. The latter caught the attention of the president, according to the official. Giuliani said Tuesday he was “very disappointed” in Bolton’s comment. Bolton, Giuliani said, “has been called much worse.” Giuliani also acknowledged he had received payments totaling $500,000 related to the work for a company operated by Lev Parnas — who, along with associate Igor Fruman, played a key role in Giuliani’s efforts to launch a Ukrainian corruption investigation against Biden and his son Hunter. The two men were arrested last week on campaign finance charges as they tried to board an international flight. Trump’s team won’t comply with the Democratic inquiry. Giuliani and Vice President Mike Pence became the latest officials

refusing to cooperate, saying through their lawyers they would not provide information requested by House Democrats as part of the impeachment inquiry. The chairman leading the impeachment investigation, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said the stonewalling simply bolsters the charge that Trump is obstructing Congress. “The case for Congress continues to build,” Schiff said. He said Defense Secretary Mark Esper told investigators Sunday that he would comply with a subpoena request, only to be “countermanded” by a higher authority, likely Trump. Sondland, whose text messages with other diplomats are part of a cache released by Volker and made public earlier this month, is scheduled to appear for an interview Thursday. The interviews Monday and Tuesday, like the others conducted by House impeachment investigators, took place behind closed doors. Republican lawmakers have aimed their ire at the process, saying witnesses should be interviewed out in the open.

Recent safety analysis indicates that the highway performs within standards and many of the proposed improvements, such as passing lanes and changes to the curvature of the roadway, are not warranted. Shoulder widening is still being evaluated and will be incorporated where practical. Improvements will now focus on repaving the highway and pathway and rebuilding drainage. Project team members will be present to share the current highway design and answer questions. The State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, is planning to rehabilitate and improve the safety of 10.5 miles of the Seward Highway between the Trail River Bridge (MP 25.5) and the Sterling Wye (MP 36).

Rams trade for CB Ramsey By Greg Beacham AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams acquired Jalen Ramsey from the Jaguars on Tuesday night, ending the star cornerback’s tumultuous tenure in Jacksonville with a trade to the defending NFC champions. Jacksonville got firstround picks from the Rams in 2020 and 2021, along with a fourth-round pick in 2021. Ramsey is one of the NFL’s elite defensive backs, earning two Pro Bowl selections and one first-team All-Pro nod in three seasons with Jaguars. The fifth overall pick in the 2016 draft has nine career interceptions along with innumerable conflicts with his coaches, the front office and the Jags’ opponents. One month after he requested a trade, Ramsey is off to the West Coast to join Aaron Donald on the Rams’ defense.

Ramsey has missed the Jaguars’ last three games with an apparent back injury, but he returned to practice last week. He’ll probably need to play immediately with the Rams (3-3), who are without both of their usual starting cornerbacks as they head to Atlanta this weekend. The defending NFC champions traded cornerback Marcus Peters to Baltimore earlier in the day, getting depth linebacker Kenny Young for a two-time Pro Bowl selection who will be a free agent next year. Los Angeles also put cornerback Aqib Talib on injured reserve Monday after he missed last weekend’s loss to San Francisco with a rib injury. Ramsey had never missed a start in his professional career before his current injury, but that was about the only certainty around the Tennessee native who once committed to USC, only to end up at Florida State.

Source: Titans to bench Mariota, start Tannehill By Teresa M. Walker AP Pro Football Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Titans are making a change at quarterback in hopes of salvaging their season. Tennessee will start Ryan Tannehill at quarterback instead of Marcus Mariota on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the change.

READY, SET, GO!

Coach Mike Vrabel benched Mariota in the third quarter of a 16-0 loss in Denver, the first time the No. 2 pick overall in the 2015 draft had been pulled from a game for poor play and not because of injury. Vrabel said Monday the Titans (2-4) would decide who would start against the Chargers (2-4) by Tuesday and then tell both quarterbacks and the rest of the team. Now Tannehill will get his first start since the Titans acquired the veteran in March from Miami through

a trade initially designed to improve Tennessee’s backup to Mariota. “Ryan was an elite quarterback in this league ... no longer than a year ago,” Titans tight end Delanie Walker said Monday before the decision was made to start Tannehill. “He can take over a team. He can make plays, control the offense. I mean, I seen him do it in Miami.” NFL.com first reported the switch at quarterback Tuesday night. The Titans had made it

clear all offseason that Mariota was their starter until the No. 2 pick overall in the 2015 draft turned in his worst performance in Denver. Mariota was 7 of 18 for 63 yards and was intercepted twice for his first turnovers of the season. He also was sacked three times. Mariota went into that game as the NFL’s only quarterback without a turnover, but his interception-free streak ended late in the first half at 205 straight passes when Chris Harris picked him off.

Rivals assail Warren as she joins Dems’ top rank By Steve Peoples, Will Weissert and Darlene Superville Associated Press

Elizabeth Warren repeatedly came under attack during Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate as rivals accused the Massachusetts senator of ducking questions about the cost of Medicare for All and her signature “wealth tax” plan. The pile-on was the clearest sign yet that Warren has a new status in the crowded Democratic primary: a front-runner in the contest to take on President Donald Trump next year. The night’s confrontations were mostly fought on familiar terrain for Democrats, who have spent months sparring over the future of health care with moderates pressing for a measured approach while Warren and Bernie Sanders call for a dramatic, government-funded overhaul of the insurance market. But unlike Sanders, Warren refused to say whether she would raise taxes on the middle class to pay for Medicare for All — a stance that’s increasingly difficult to maintain given her more prominent status. Her rivals seized on the opportunity to pounce. “I appreciate Elizabeth’s work but, again, the difference between a plan and a pipe dream is something you can actually get done,” said Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

lower costs — including renewable energy projects like hydropower, all of which severely impedes the economy of Southeast,” Sullivan said. Joel Jackson, president of the Organized Village of Kake, said people there depend on the Tongass for food security. “It provides for us, in our hunting and gathering,” Jackson said by phone Monday. “The streams that go through the forest provide the salmon that return to our streams. That’s why we’re very protective of our forest.” Jackson said that many rural

Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, added: “We heard it tonight. A ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question that didn’t get a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer.” Warren insisted that she has “made clear what my principles are here,” arguing that lower premiums would mean that overall costs would go down for most Americans. Featuring a dozen candidates, the debate sponsored by CNN and The New York Times was the largest in modern history. It was the first time the White House hopefuls gathered in a little more than a month. In that time, the political landscape has changed with Trump facing an impeachment inquiry in the House centered on his quest to get Ukraine to dig up unflattering details about Joe Biden, another front-runner among the Democrats hoping to succeed him. The debate also served as Sanders’ return to the campaign trail following a heart attack earlier this month. The Vermont senator failed to show the same fire as in previous debates. He got applause when he thanked supporters and rivals for their good wishes and declared, “I’m feeling great.” The debate touched on foreign policy, too, a subject that has dominated the news in recent weeks as Trump said he was withdrawing most U.S. forces from Syria and then Turkey invaded the northern part of the country to attack Kurdish

fighters. The Democratic presidential candidates denounced the president for abandoning Kurdish forces there, who are U.S. allies. Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who served in Iraq with the Army, questioned the need for U.S. involvement in “regime change” conflicts in the Middle East. That prompted Buttigieg to respond: “What we are doing or what we were doing in Syria was keeping our word.” “I would have a hard time today looking an Afghan civilian or soldier in the eye after what just happened over there,” said Buttigieg, who served in Afghanistan. “It is undermining the honor of our soldiers. You take away the honor of our soldiers, you might as well go after their body armor next.” Biden had spent months facing sharp criticism from the rest of the field during debates, but he saw few candidates engage with him on Tuesday. Still, he struggled to fully explain why his newly promised ethics plan to prevent conflicts of interest involving his relatives wasn’t applied to his son Hunter when he was hired in 2014 as a director for a Ukrainian energy company. That relationship has become a focal point of Trump’s effort to press for a Ukrainian government probe of the Bidens — an effort that was a major factor leading to the House impeachment inquiry. On Sunday, Biden had vowed

communities in Southeast Alaska depend on hunting and gathering to survive because of the high costs of getting supplies to those areas. ‘It costs us two or three times more (than Juneau) to get goods here,” he said. When previous logging operations had come to the area around Kake, Jackson said there was little economic boost to the community. “They bring their own people, they bring their own food,” he said. “It won’t create jobs here in the community.” Jackson said that a representative from the Forest Service had called Monday morning to inform him of the decision. He said the Forest Service had consulted with the village over the years regarding the Roadless Rule, but he

felt the meetings had not been meaningful. “They listen but that’s about it,” Jackson said of the Forest Service. “I didn’t really feel it was a true consultation. They’re checking their boxes because that’s what they have to do. It’s nothing new, we’ve dealt with it before.” Jackson said ever since the Roadless Rule had been implemented, state officials have been trying to dismantle it. “Now there’s people in power both at the federal and state levels where they’re in a position they think than can overturn the rule,” he said. In a statement, Senate Republicans in the Alaska Legislature praised the decision. The only representative from Southeast

that “no one in my family will have an office in the White House, will sit in on meetings as if they’re a cabinet member, will in fact have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country.” But CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked, “If it’s not OK for a president’s family to be involved in foreign businesses, why was it OK for your son when you were vice president?” Biden faltered some before offering, “My son did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong.” Still, most of the back-and-forth focused on Warren. Taking aim at her proposal to tax the wealthiest

Americans, Klobuchar said, “I want to give a reality check here” and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke suggested it was “punitive.” The senator said that notion shocked her: “I don’t have a beef with billionaires.” “Look, I understand that this is hard, but I think as Democrats we are going to succeed when we dream big and fight hard, not when we dream small and quit before we get started,” she said. Also debating were California Sen. Kamala Harris, New York entrepreneur Andrew Yang, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and former Obama housing chief Julián Castro. Making his debate debut was billionaire activist Tom Steyer.

How to submit a comment Public comment is open until midnight on Dec. 17. Comments can be submitted by fax, email, online or by post. Email comments can be sent to akroadlessrule@fs.fed.us Mail can be sent to: USDA Forest Service, Attn: Alaska Roadless Rule, P.O. Box 21628, Juneau, Alaska, 99802 More information can be found at the Forest Service website. Alaska quoted in the release was Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka. “This is good news,” Stedman said in the release. “We’ve been challenged for years dealing with the Forest Service and getting our right of ways for road connections.” The Forest Service previously conducted a public comment scoping period in Southeast Alaska in 2018 when then-Gov.

Bill Walker submitted a petition to create an Alaska-specific Roadless Rule exemption. In its summary of public comments, the Forest Service said that a majority of the 144,000 submissions opposed changing the Roadless Rule. A survey from the Pew Charitable Trusts, a nonpartisan research group, found that 75% of Americans support the Roadless Rule.
