Accused of documenting killing, man pleads not guilty ANCHORAGE — A man accused of documenting the killing of a woman on a camera memory card has pleaded not guilty. Brian Steven Smith didn’t speak during an arraignment that lasted about a minute Wednesday. A public defender entered his pleas for him. Smith faces charges of murder, sexual assault and evidence tampering in the death of 30-year-old Kathleen Henry. Her body was found near the highway south of Anchorage Oct. 2. A few days earlier, a woman walking in Anchorage found a memory card titled, “Homicide at midtown Marriott.” Police say the card had 39 photos and 12 videos. The videos show a man beating and strangling a woman, telling her to die and laughing. The man’s accent on the tapes helped lead police to Smith, who is from South Africa.
Supporters get OK to gather signatures for oil tax proposal JUNEAU — Supporters of a proposal to rewrite Alaska’s oil tax structure have gotten approval to gather signatures in a bid to qualify the measure for next year’s ballot. Supporters hope to gather 28,501 qualified signatures by the start of the January legislative session. Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer certified the initiative application Tuesday. The campaign behind the proposal says the measure is aimed at Alaska’s legacy oil fields and increasing the state’s share of production revenues. A review by the Department of Law said the measure is difficult to interpret, raises implementation and constitutional questions and could lead to litigation. Still, the review found none of that amounted to legal grounds to deny certification. Robin Brena, a sponsor of the measure, says the intent of the proposal is “pretty darn clear.” See news, Page A3

Closed station raises concerns
Winter welcome
The closure of the Silvertip Maintenance Station is due to cuts triggered by lower than expected revenue from the motor fuel tax. By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
the Iditarod, saying it ruins dogs that don’t die on the trail; dogs are kept outdoors in freezing temperatures; and ones that can’t make the grade are killed. Plenty of dogs have run the race multiple times with no harm, Urbach said, noting that Iditarod dogs are outdoor animals that train daily and are at their prime in subzero weather. “There might have been some culling years ago, but that’s not part of the Iditarod’s culture going forward,” Urbach said.
Kenai Peninsula Borough and state leaders have expressed concerns after a maintenance station responsible for winter plowing on the Seward Highway closed Tuesday due to reduced fuel tax revenue. The Alaska Department of Transportation announced the closure of the Silvertip Maintenance Station, located at the junction of the Seward and Hope Highways, in September. The station, built in 1974, has been responsible for the maintenance of the Seward Highway through Turnagain Pass. The maintenance duties of Turnagain Pass will now fall on both the Girdwood Maintenance station and the Crown Point station south of Moose Pass. The closure is due to cuts triggered by lower than expected revenue from the motor fuel tax, which supports the department’s maintenance workers and stations. In addition to the station’s closure, five operator positions were cut from the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities central region. The Seward Highway corridor, which is prone to extreme winter conditions, is facing limited hours of operation. Shannon McCarthy, media liaison with the Department of Transportation, said it will take longer for operators to get to the pass to address maintenance needs. During winter storms, the department can approve extended working hours. Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce made a statement in support of keeping Silvertip Station open. His statement said the station’s closure will further limit snow removal operations, impacting road safety as well as potentially delaying emergency personnel that respond to vehicle accidents within this Seward Highway corridor. “Emergency response is already difficult for this remote area of the Seward Highway,” Pierce said in his statement to the department. “The volunteer emergency responders are tasked with long difficult responses, and this closure will only make their jobs more difficult with more responses as well as increase risks on the Seward Highway during the winter months.” On Wednesday, the mayor told the Clarion that the Seward Highway

Iditarod head, PETA leader to meet By Rachel D’Oro Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — The new head of Alaska’s Iditarod plans to meet with a leader of an animal welfare group that’s devoted to ending the world’s most famous sled dog race, which it sees as a cruel, deadly event for its canine participants. Organizers of the 1,000-mile wilderness trek have for decades ignored or taken a defensive stance against People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said Iditarod CEO Rob Urbach, who took the helm of the organization in July. The old response hasn’t worked, Urbach said. He has started talking to PETA about dog care and will meet Thursday with the group’s executive vice president Tracy Reiman in Los Angeles. “I’m coming in with open ears and eyes, to have an objective conversation about animal welfare,” Urbach said Tuesday. “If there’s something we can learn from their organization, I’m willing to listen.” Reiman plans to talk about the differences between “the needs and behavior of dogs and those of humans,” she said in an email to The Associated Press. She said it will be the third time she has talked with Urbach. The Thursday meeting will be the first in person, after Urbach asked to meet. Reiman noted that as a former CEO of USA Triathlon, Urbach knows endurance sports but not when applied to dogs. “You can’t extrapolate from human experiences in endurance racing and apply the result to dogs who are driven past their limits,”

PETA is the biggest critic of the world’s most famous sled dog race, but new Iditarod CEO Rob Urbach has started discussions with the animal rights group and plans a sit-down meeting with PETA on Thursday in Los Angeles.
she said. The Thursday summit, as Urbach calls it, comes after a difficult time for the Iditarod that was marked in recent years by escalating pressure from animal activists over multiple dog deaths, a 2017 dog-doping scandal and the loss of big-name sponsors. Urbach said the Iditarod and PETA both care about animal welfare, and he hopes the two can find common ground through education about the race and treatment of the dogs. However, he said PETA has long spread “grossly inaccurate and inflammatory” information about
Ex-Pompeo aide testifies; Senate talks trial By Lisa Mascaro, Mary Claire Jalonick and Matt lee Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The swiftmoving impeachment probe pushed onward Wednesday as a former top State Department aide testified that the Trump administration’s politicization of foreign policy contributed to his resignation, while the Senate GOP leader briefed colleagues on a possible Christmas impeachment trial. The day’s events, interrupted by an explosive meeting at the White House, churned as longtime State
Department officials are speaking out under subpoena — some revealing striking new details — about the actions Trump, and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, took toward Ukraine that have sparked the House impeachment inquiry. On Wednesday, Michael McKinley, a career foreign service officer and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s de facto chief of staff, told investigators behind closed doors that he could no longer look the other way amid the Trump administration’s dealings with Ukraine, which were among the reasons he ended his 37-year career last week, according to multiple
people familiar with the testimony, who, like others who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, were not authorized to discuss it. “I was disturbed by the implication that foreign governments were being approached to procure negative information on political opponents,” McKinley testified, according to a former colleague familiar with his remarks. The impeachment inquiry revolves around a whistleblower’s complaint that Trump was pushing Ukraine’s leader into opening an investigation of a company connected to the son of
Trump’s potential 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden. It is illegal to solicit or receive foreign help in a U.S. election. Among McKinley’s concerns was the administration’s failure to support Ukrainian Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, who was ousted in March on orders from Trump. McKinley, who as a Latin America expert was not specifically involved in Ukraine, was also frustrated that there had been no response to an August inspector general’s report that found significant evidence of leadership and management problems, including See inquiry, Page A2

State to look at oil spill plan requirements By Becky Bohrer Associated Press
JUNEAU — Thirty years after the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the state of Alaska is looking at whether to change its requirements for oil spill prevention and response plans. Some say Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration has failed to adequately explain the need for any changes and fear the process could lead to a watering down of environmental regulations. State Environmental Conservation Commissioner Jason Brune said there’s no intent to do away with the plans. He said the department wants to make sure the rules are not outdated. Brune said he has heard from many Alaskans that contingency plans “are unnecessarily burdensome while lacking corresponding environmental benefits.” He did not specify the source of the complaints but said there have been comments from industry and individuals outside of industry that the documents have gotten too big and “things just continue to get added and added and added.”
Inquiry From Page A1
allegations from career employees that Assistant Secretary of State Kevin Moley and his former senior adviser Marie Stull retaliated or tried to retaliate against them as holdovers from the Obama administration. Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., told reporters outside the closed-door hearing that McKinley was complimentary about Pompeo’s role but did raise other issues. “I think most of this is a concern by a colleague for an ambassador that he held in high regard,” Meadows said, declining to provide more details of the closed session. Republicans are crying foul over the process of the impeachment inquiry, but as House Democrats press on with the investigation, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell briefed Republicans about the possible trial ahead. McConnell warned of a possible House impeachment vote by Thanksgiving that would force a trial in the Senate, likely by Christmas. He used slides and history lessons during a private Senate GOP lunch in the Capitol to talk about the process, according to a person
He also said he has heard from those who think the rules don’t go far enough. The department is taking public comment as it considers whether to propose changes. Oil tankers, drill rigs and oil pipelines are among those required to have spill prevention and response plans, according to the department’s website. Dunleavy, a Republican, has adopted an “open for business” mantra. Bob Shavelson with the advocacy group Cook Inletkeeper said he sees that as code for rollbacks. “Whenever that phrase is used across the country, coming from the Dunleavy administration, ‘open for business’ means we’re going to relax rules that are intended to protect consumers and the environment,” Shavelson said. Brune said the mantra to him means “maintaining protection of the environment while eliminating unnecessary or burdensome requirements. It definitely does not mean lessening environmental protections. Alaskans take pride in making sure that our environment is protected.” Shavelson said requirements were strengthened after the Exxon Valdez
disaster, when 257,000 barrels of oil spilled after a tanker ran aground in Prince William Sound in 1989. Regulations have been revised since to clarify language and streamline the process, said Donna Schantz, executive director of the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council. Schantz said Brune has not provided examples of areas that could be overly burdensome or onerous, and she expressed concern the process has the potential to weaken standards. Brune said he did not want to bias the public comment process. He said comments submitted as part of that process will be posted online. Schantz said the current system has been working. “We see this as a real threat to the current system and protections that people worked so hard to put in place after the oil spill, so taking this very, very seriously,” she said. B r u n e ha s re c o m m e n d e d commenters to be specific on areas that are working or can be improved, she said, but she sees that as shifting the burden to the public to justify the regulations.
familiar with the meeting. At the White House, congressional leaders abruptly ended an explosive meeting with the president on the situation in Syria, when Trump called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a “third-grade politician,” according to Democrats. Pelosi said later the president was having a “meltdown.” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said he knows his House colleagues didn’t run for office to conduct an impeachment investigation, but he said, “The facts that are already in the public domain are so deeply troubling and must be taken very seriously.” Another key figure in the impeachment investigation, special envoy Kurt Volker, returned to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to review the transcript of his Oct. 3 testimony to investigators, according to a person familiar with his appearance. Volker provided text messages to lawmakers that revealed an effort at the State Department to push Ukraine’s leader into opening an investigation of the gas company Burisma connected to Biden’s son, Hunter, in return for a visit with Trump. That effort soon escalated into what one diplomat feared was a quid pro quo for U.S. military aid. Trump has denied that, saying assistance to Ukraine was
delayed to pressure the country into addressing corruption. Another ambassador involved in those text message exchanges, Gordon Sondland, has been asked to appear Thursday. The testimony so far from the witnesses, mainly officials from the State Department and other foreign policy posts, largely corroborates the account of the government whistleblower whose complaint first sparked the impeachment inquiry, according to lawmakers attending the closed-door interviews. One witness said it appeared “three amigos” tied to the White House — Sondland, Volker and Energy Secretary Rick Perry — had taken over foreign policy. Another quoted national security adviser John Bolton as calling Giuliani a “hand grenade” for his back-channel efforts to get Ukraine to investigate Biden and Biden’s son Hunter. Trump’s July 25 phone call in which he pressed Ukraine’s president, Volodymr Zelenskiy, to investigate Biden’s family is at the center of the Democrats’ inquiry. 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 branch.

corridor is critical. He said people have few options to get to and from Anchorage, where many peninsula residents travel for medical appointments and to access Anchorage’s international airport. “Not everybody is in a hopped-up truck that can handle the elements,” Pierce said.

Officials seek public help in capturing goat FAIRBANKS — An escaped Alaska goat continued to elude capture despite a widely shared social media request by animal control officers for public assistance, officials said. Fairbanks North Star Borough Animal Control officers were on the lookout for the goat first reported missing Monday around 10 a.m., The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Tuesday. The male goat was still on the loose as of noon Tuesday. The animal is used to being in a herd and is not a pet, said animal control operations manager Sandy Hill. “He’s very savvy. That’s why the public can also help us,” Hill said. “We definitely encourage folks who have ideas to let us know. Our main

that was signed by other peninsula lawmakers, including Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski; Rep. Gary Knopp, R-Kenai/Soldotna; Rep. Sarah Vance, R-Homer; and Sen. Gary Stevens, R-Homer/Kodiak. In his letter, Micciche asked the commissioner to justify the closure, asking about specific decreases in motor fuel tax revenues and about other service reductions being made around the state. Micciche mentioned the intermittent closures of the Sterling Highway during the Swan Lake Fire, which resulted in empty shelves in peninsula stores. Another concern in his letter is heavy semitruck traffic on the corridor, which normally takes place in the early hours of the morning, he said. Cutting services in the area
will likely cause competition on the highway and significant safety impacts between commercial drivers and other residents traveling the highway, Micciche said. “We remain doubtful that safe highway maintenance is possible with the changes you are proposing,” the letter reads. “We are supportive of reducing costs to the State of Alaska where we can, but not at the expense of the lives and safety of our constituents or any other traveler on the often-treacherous Seward Highway corridor.” Public safety should be the last item on the chopping block instead of the first, he said in the letter. Commissioner MacKinnon responded to the lawmakers’ letter Oct. 1, saying that he shares concerns for adequate winter
maintenance along the highway. “By moving personnel to the Girdwood and Crown Point maintenance stations, resources will have to travel further to respond,” MacKinnon said in the letter. “The result will be a lower level of service. Time spent in transit will increase; time spent on sanding, grading and plowing will decrease … We understand weather events will not always cooperate with this schedule and therefore anticipate the potential for highway closures.” MacKinnon said the Legislature could have addressed the budget shortfall with general funds, but did not. “We cannot provide same level service on smaller and smaller budgets,” MacKinnon said in the letter. “We remain committed to
providing the best service possible with the resources we are given.” Since 2014, four maintenance stations in Alaska have been shut down due to budget cuts, all in the state’s northern region, McCarthy said. Micciche is calling on residents to reach out to MacKinnon at the Department of Transportation and Gov. Mike Dunleavy and share any concerns they might have about the station’s closure. “We need to let them know this threat to public safety is unacceptable,” Micciche said. The Silver Tip Maintenance Station covered the Turnagain Pass area between two 10-hour shifts. The Crown Point and Girdwood stations will cover the Silver Tip region from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m.
concern is public safety and making sure that he stays off the roadways.” Animal control officials asked the public to contact a law enforcement phone number in a social media post that was shared more than 500 times. Sightings by area residents were shared on Facebook. A message posted at 9:20 a.m. Tuesday included photographs of the animal and a message reading, “Someone missing a goat in the Wilcox area?” The goal of animal control officers was to “gently herd” the goat into an area with natural barriers such as high fences, Hill said. “There’s people rooting for the goat and people who have ideas for capture,” she said. “Another goat may help. We shall see. Goats tend to like to be in a herd, so we may be able to try that. We’re going to keep trying until we capture him.”
KTUU-television reports one person was critically injured in the fire early Wednesday morning. Names of the injured were not released. The Anchorage Fire Department says the fire broke out shortly after midnight at a home in Manoog’s Isle trailer park near Lake Otis Parkway and Dowling Road on the city’s east side. The fire was limited to one home.
The community of about 800 residents located 40 miles southwest of Juneau wants to join an area of more than 35,000 square miles. “We’re reasserting our territorial claim to the Icy Strait area,” said Hoonah City Administrator Dennis Gray Jr. The Xunaa Borough would include Icy Strait, Glacier Bay, a portion of the Chatham Strait, parts of Chichagof Island, and Excursion Inlet. The boundaries also include portions of the Haines and Sitka boroughs. The proposed borough excludes the cities of Gustavus, Tenakee Springs and Pelican. The exclusion is due to unsuccessful attempts to create new boroughs in 1999 and 2007 involving other cities, Gray said. “With our borough boundary drawn the way it is, they can join at a later date if they want to, or join someone else if they want to,” Gray said. Hoonah is pursuing a borough to capture more revenue for its school
district, Gray said. “We believe based on our forecast it would be about $900,000 extra for the school district,” he said, noting that the current budget is about $3.3 million Haines and Sitka officials said they were aware of the proposal but did not comment in more detail.

Reiman said human athletes aren’t chained outside in freezing weather and they get proper nutrition and hydration. Her group has documented that Iditarod dogs are “fed rotten slop” and frozen water, she said. “We’re not opposed to a thousand-mile race, but
the true test of endurance is when humans do it under their own power — as some have — and leave dogs out of it,” she wrote. By PETA’s count, more than 150 dogs have died in the race, including one this year. Five dogs connected with the 2017 race also died. Race officials dispute the total number of deaths and say no records on the subject were kept in the Iditarod’s early years.

What others say
Syria pullout an irreparable disaster
U
ntil now, it was possible to hope that the damage caused by President Trump’s terrible incompetence, ignorance and impulsivity in foreign policy was largely theoretical, and possibly reparable. That is no longer true. The cost of his latest Syria blunder is unfolding before our eyes: Innocent lives lost. U.S. servicemen and -women betrayed. Butchering dictators emboldened. Dangerous terrorists set free. A ghastly scene is playing out, and it almost surely will get worse. How often have Mr. Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress berated President Barack Obama for allowing Syria to cross his “red line” without dire consequences? None of them is entitled ever to mention that again. Mr. Trump — with no consideration, no warning, no consultation with allies, no regard for the other nations that have fought alongside the United States and risked their men and women in the fight — has turned tail. In the past two years, courageous U.S. troops cooperated with our Kurdish allies to defeat the deadly Islamic State caliphate. These allies Mr. Trump likes to preen lost more than 11,000 men and and posture as a champion women killed; the United of American fighters. But States, a dozen. It was a rare U.S. what more bitter medicine success in the could any commander in Middle East. chief administer to U.S. The president has thrown troops than ordering them it all away. His to abandon the comrades surrender is so hasty that U.S. who fought alongside forces could not execute a them? long-standing plan to take dozens of high-profile Islamic State detainees with them; we can expect to hear from those terrorists before long, in the region, in Europe or in the United States. The Islamic State is likely to exert its malign force again. The allies who fought alongside us are being slaughtered, and noncombatant women and children, too. Iran is strengthened, which threatens Israel. The murderous Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad is strengthened, too. Russia is taking charge. America’s adversaries could not have scripted a better outcome. Mr. Trump likes to preen and posture as a champion of American fighters. But what more bitter medicine could any commander in chief administer to U.S. troops than ordering them to abandon the comrades who fought alongside them? He likes to preen, too, as a great enemy of Iran, and even as he runs from Syria he is ordering 1,800 U.S. troops to Saudi Arabia, ostensibly to deter Iran. But that deployment, while proving the utter incoherence of his claim of “ending wars in the Middle East,” will have far less effect on Iran than the U.S. pullout from Syria, which opens the door for it to swell its influence there, on Israel’s border. And speaking of preening: Republican senators such as Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.), who have cheered and celebrated Mr. Trump and his national security team, now huff and puff about imposing sanctions on Turkey as punishment for its invasion. Mr. Trump said Monday that he now supports such sanctions. But only one week ago he greenlighted Turkey’s incursion, and on Sunday he further encouraged it with his announcement of a hasty U.S. withdrawal. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan bears responsibility for Turkey’s depredations, of course. But if there is any coherence — or morality — in Mr. Trump’s position, he is doing a good job of concealing it. — The Washington Post, Oct. 14

T
he Central Council Tlingit and Haida Constitution declares as our peoples’ inherent right that our tribal government, “Protect, preserve and enhance Tlingit ‘Haa Aani’ and Haida ‘Íitl’ tlagáay’, our way of life, its ecosystems and resources, including the right to clean water and access to native foods and traditional practices through our inherent rights to traditional and customary hunting, fishing and gathering.” Tlingit & Haida works constructively with all elected officials of any political party without partisanship. We aim to be collaborative partners, working together in the best interest of Alaska — our homelands. Yet today we are challenged by our disagreement with Alaska elected officials that support the proposed full exemption of the Tongass National Forest from the Roadless Rule. Any elected official in Alaska who supports a full exemption is disregarding their constituents, undermining the public process, and ignoring the sovereign Tribal governments — whose people have lived and depended on these lands and waters since time immemorial. The indigenous tribal governments of Southeast Alaska know our traditional territory, we have lived, depended on, and stewarded these lands and waters since time immemorial. We know that the full exemption for development activities would forever harm our homelands. The Tongass National Forest is the United States’ largest national forest and the largest remaining temperate rainforest on earth. Some see it as a salmon forest, a timber forest, a vast wilderness to visit and explore. Indigenous people see it differently. The Tongass is the traditional homelands of the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian people, a lineage that stretches so deep in time, we call it immemorial. Our origin stories are derived from these lands. Our ancestors are buried here. Our songs and dances are created here. Our languages have always been spoken here. Who are we? Our people are professional athletes, entrepreneurs, artists, Hollywood actors, CEOs running corporations that have brought millions of dollars to our region, fashion designers, teachers, culture bearers, doting aunties, fishermen, and sovereign tribal governments. We are diverse peoples, but if there is one thread that unites the tribes
and people of Southeast Alaska, it is our relationship and connection to our sacred places known today as the Tongass. Our health and well-being, identity, and worldview are intricately woven into the fabric that is our homeland. Six federally recognized tribal governments stepped forward to engage on the Roadless Rule proposals with the State of Alaska and consult with the US Department of Agriculture; however, our tribes were treated as “cooperating agencies” instead of as sovereign tribal governments exercising our inherent rights. Despite inappropriate treatment, these tribes agreed to participate in order to be “at the table” instead of “on the menu.” In addition to answering our communities’ needs, and despite additional and significant impacts of government shutdowns and reduced program funding from our federal trustee, these tribes satisfied arbitrary and expedited deadlines to meaningfully engage in with state and federal representatives. However, our pleas for respect and for justice have been ignored. Each of our tribes have different needs and priorities. Some of our communities sought expanded protections to heal local lands after devastating logging practices. Others sought strategic adjustments to the Roadless Rule that would permit controls of local development. And not a single tribal government engaged as a cooperating agency advocated for a full and complete exemption of the Roadless Rule. In a word, our tribes are reasonable in being accountable to the unique needs of each of their communities. These cooperating tribes cannot help but believe the entire process has repeatedly disrespected and ignored sovereign tribal nations and their tribal citizens. For example, the USDA compensated the Alaska Forest Association, a timber industry lobbying group, with $200,000 for their time and expertise in engaging in the Roadless process. The State of Alaska received $2 million. And yet, despite the tribes’ traditional indigenous knowledge of their lands and waters, and despite their representation of the communities embedded within the Tongass, our tribes received no compensation. Our tribal leaders have been repeatedly denied opportunities to
engage face-to-face with U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, who will ultimately determine the fate of our homelands. Meanwhile, Secretary Purdue invited representatives of other governments, environmental nonprofit organizations, and the timber industry to meet with key USDA officials in Washington, D.C. Our tribal governments have repeatedly requested governmentto-government consultation without success. Southeast Alaska tribes believe the requisite environmental process has been arbitrarily and capriciously rushed to decision despite the magnitude of potential adverse impacts that lifting these protections could be expected to impose upon our homelands. Our tribal governments concerns are shared by others. During the public scoping period last fall, the vast majority of written comments and public testimony, according to the administrative record of the U.S. Forest Service, favored no change to the Roadless Rule across the board. Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Gov. Mike Dunleavy support a full exemption of the Tongass from the Roadless Rule. We believe it is their obligation to respect the views of the first people of these lands, and their responsibility to develop compromises that are responsive to our needs. To do less is to undermine tribal governments. We respect our federal and state elected officials and have successfully collaborated with them on numerous and often contentious matters. Yet we cannot compromise our homelands. As the original land managers of Southeast Alaska, we know that a blanket removal of protections for our remaining old growth is not a viable solution. A full removal of the Roadless Rule protections must be replaced with the opportunity for tribal governments to meaningfully engage with state and federal government officials in the management of the lands we depend on. We acknowledge that compromise is necessary, and our desired outcomes are not unreasonable; however, no outcome is credible unless tribal governments are respected as full partners in the decision-making process. Richard Chalyee Éesh Peterson is president of Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska.

This land is your land
W
oody Guthrie didn’t mention Alaska by name in “This Land is Your Land,” his classic folk song celebrating the beauty and bounty of America — but he might as well have. We at the Alaska Department of Natural Resources share Guthrie’s belief that “this land was made for you and me.” That’s why I’m proud to share some of the ways we’re using our land and resources to benefit both Alaskans and visitors alike. Alaska is blessed with the largest system of state parks in the nation. Our Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation manages 3.4 million acres and 156 state park units across the state. We welcome guests at 90 campgrounds and more than 80 public-use cabins, where folks can spend days and nights enjoying beautiful scenery and unmatched recreational
opportunities for a nominal fee. It takes significant work to maintain and improve our parks, campgrounds, trails, parking areas and historic sites. Recent projects include repairing earthquake damage at Eagle River Campground and Eagle Rock Boat Launch, fixing winter storm damage at Anchor River and Deep Creek, improving trailheads in the Chena River Special Recreational Area, mitigating the impacts from spruce beetle damage at multiple sites, and installing a new foot bridge over Penguin Creek in Chugach State Park. Alaska’s selection of statehood lands on the oil-rich North Slope demonstrated we could keep our promise to use our resources to be self-sufficient. That effort to select lands important to Alaska’s future continues. Our Division of Mining, Land, and Water is working cooperatively with federal agencies,
Native corporations and other landowners to refine our remaining land selections so Alaska can receive the remaining 5.3 million acres of our 105.8 million acre statehood land entitlement. DMLW also defends Alaska’s claim to navigable waterways, and to public access to federal land across historic RS 2477 trails. And we’re pushing hard to correct federal errors in setting the western border of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which would open more Alaska land for the oil development that generates oil royalties for state services and permanent fund dividends for citizens. Our respectful, but persistent requests that federal authorities remove 1970s-era Public Land Orders (PLOs) blocking multiple uses and state control of state land found success this summer when the Bureau of Land Management lifted two PLOs on 1.3 million acres in Interior and Southcentral Alaska. But there’s more work to be done. For example, PLO 5150 was established in 1972 to
guarantee federal access along most of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline. Pipeline construction ended in 1977, but PLO 5150 remains, blocking development along this critical infrastructure corridor. Most importantly, Alaskans deserve the chance to own a piece of the land they love. DNR manages several successful programs that advance Gov. Michael J. Dunleavy’s goal of putting Alaska lands into Alaskan hands. (See: https://dnr.alaska. gov/mlw/landsales). Our annual auction giving Alaskans first crack at bidding on state land with low-interest financing and 25% veterans discount has been such a success the governor added a fall sale. Properties unsold after Oct. 30 will join over 118 parcels currently available to Alaskans over the counter. DNR’s popular Remote Recreational Cabin Site staking program lets qualified Alaskans submit bids for unimproved, remote land. DNR will also open bids Oct. 30 for three agricultural land tracts
to help Alaskans grow the farming sector, diversify the economy and help enhance food security. DNR’s mission also doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. Ocean-ranching is a growing Alaska industry. DNR has 63 active leases of stateowned waters to grow oysters, mussels and geoducks, plus kelp, seaweed other aquatic resources. Another 22 leases are pending. Growing interest in mariculture has the Legislature considering a bill to help DNR speed lease renewals, build industry confidence and nurture growth in this new brand of resource development. Alaskans are rightly proud to live in a state where developing resources on the people’s land directly benefits the people. I am proud to lead Department of Natural Resources in working to deliver those benefits to Alaskans today, and those to come. I think Woody would be proud, too. Corri A. Feige is commissioner of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources.

Syrian forces enter key town, block Turkish plans By Elena Becatoros and Bassem Mroue Associated Press
CEYLANPINAR, Turkey — Syrian forces on Wednesday night rolled into the strategic border town of Kobani, blocking one path for the Turkish military to establish a “safe zone” free of Syrian Kurdish fighters along the frontier as part of its weekold offensive. The seizure of Kobani by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad also pointed to a dramatic shift in northeastern Syria: The town was where the United States military and Kurdish fighters first united to defeat the Islamic State group four years ago and holds powerful symbolism for Syrian Kurds and their ambitions of self-rule. The convoys of government forces drove into Kobani after dark, a resident said. The resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal, was one of the few remaining amid fears of a Turkish attack on the town. Syria’s state-run media confirmed its troops entered the town. Syria’s presence in Kobani puts a firm limit on Turkish ambitions in its offensive. The town lies between

a Turkish-controlled enclave farther west and smaller areas to the east that Turkey seized in the past week. Turkey had talked of creating a 19-mile deep “safe zone,” driving out Kurdish fighters from the border region. Turkish forces had shelled Kobani in recent days as part of the offensive but had not advanced ground troops on it. The battle for Kobani turned the once-nondescript town into a centerpiece of the international
campaign against IS, with TV cameras flocking to the Turkish side of the border to track the plumes of smoke rising from explosions in the besieged town. Then-U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry declared it would be “morally very difficult” not to help Kobani. The IS extremists were finally driven out in early 2015 in their first major defeat, and an alliance was cemented that would eventually bring down the group’s “caliphate”
in Syria. Now the Kurdish authority agreed to allow Damascus to deploy its military in the town and other parts of northeast Syria to protect them from Turkey’s offensive launched after U.S. President Donald Trump pulled back American troops working with the Kurds. On Wednesday, the U.S-led coalition said it had vacated a cement factory south of Kobani, which had served as a coordination center with the Kurdish-led forces. It also said its forces had left Raqqa, the former capital of the Islamic State that was liberated in 2017, and Tabqa, a town to the west. “Coalition forces continue a deliberate withdrawal from northeast Syria,” coalition spokesman Col. Myles Caggins tweeted. After being effectively abandoned by the U.S., the Kurds’ turn to the Syrian government for protection has allowed Damascus’ ally, Russia, to step in as the biggest power player. Moscow further asserted that role Wednesday, offering to mediate a resolution to the conflict, one day before U.S. Vice President Mike Pence was to begin a mission to press Turkey for a cease-fire.
Brexit talks inch closer to a deal ahead of summit By Raf Casert and Jill Lawless Associated Press
BRUSSELS — The European Union and Britain inched ever closer to a Brexit deal, with the leaders of France and Germany saying they expected an agreement could be sealed at Thursday’s EU summit. Positive vibes radiated from French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a joint news conference Wednesday in Toulouse, France, where Merkel said that negotiations were “in the final stretch.” Macron added that “I want to believe that a deal is being finalized
and that we can approve it” Thursday, when EU leaders are due to meet British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Brussels. Differences between the two sides remained but were narrowing to some technical and complicated customs and value-added tax issues, officials said. Negotiating teams were working into the night at EU headquarters to solve them. “Good progress, and work is ongoing,” EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier told reporters Wednesday evening. Johnson, meanwhile, likened Brexit to climbing Mount Everest, saying the summit was in sight,
though still shrouded in cloud. And the EU Parliament’s chief Brexit official, Guy Verhofstadt, said Johnson had already moved mountains over the past days, seeking compromise where once he had been unbending. “Before, the proposals of Mr. Johnson were absolutely unacceptable,” Verhofstadt said. “There has been a fundamental shift, that is clear.” But Brexit negotiations have been here before — seemingly closing in on a deal that is dashed at the last moment. But with Britain’s Oct. 31 departure date looming and just hours to go before the EU leaders’ summit, hopes were increasingly
turning toward getting a broad political commitment, with the full legal details to be hammered out later. That could mean another EU summit on Brexit before the end of the month. Negotiators were locked inside EU headquarters with few details leaking out. Wild movements in the British pound Wednesday underscored the uncertainty over what, if anything, might finally be decided. The focus of recent talks has been the thorniest component of a deal: how goods and people will flow across the land border between EU member Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K.
Spanish PM vows to stand firm amid Catalonia violence By Joseph Wilson Associated Press
BARCELONA, Spain— Three straight days of clashes between protesters and police in Catalonia won’t provoke authorities into taking drastic measures, Spain’s caretaker prime minister Pedro Sánchez said Wednesday, as new riots rocked Barcelona. The Spanish government will respond with “firmness, calmness and unity” to the violence, Sánchez said in a televised address.
As he spoke in Madrid, tens of thousands of protesters faced off against riot police in Barcelona, with some protesters setting up flaming barricades in the streets, torching cars and throwing stones, bottles and firecrackers at police. Police also reported clashes in Girona, a town near the French border. Violence first erupted in Catalonia after Spain’s Supreme Court on Monday handed nine separatist Catalan leaders lengthy prison sentences for their part in
an October 2017 effort to achieve independence. The clashes have injured more than 200 people, including police, over the past three days. Police made 29 arrests on Tuesday. Many people in Catalonia have long fought for it to break away from Spain and become a new European country. Demonstrations have traditionally been peaceful, but not always. Protests on Wednesday followed the pattern of previous days as crowds gathered during the day

In 1931, mobster Al Capone was convicted in Chicago of income tax evasion. (Sentenced to 11 years in prison, Capone was released in 1939.) In 1933, Albert Einstein arrived in the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany. In 1939, Frank Capra’s comedy-drama “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” starring James Stewart as an idealistic junior U.S. senator, had its premiere in the nation’s capital. In 1966, 12 New York City firefighters were killed while battling a blaze in lower Manhattan. The TV game show “The Hollywood Squares” premiered on NBC. In 1967, Puyi (poo-yee), the last emperor of China, died in Beijing at age 61. In 1973, Arab oil-producing nations announced they would begin cutting back oil exports to Western nations and Japan; the result was a total embargo that lasted until March 1974.

In downtown Barcelona, protesters threw hundreds of white paper toilet rolls into the air to show their anger over the prison sentences. Organizers said the toilet rolls were thrown because “there is a lot that needs cleaning up.” Sánchez blamed “organized groups of extremists” for the rioting but said he wouldn’t be drawn into playing their game of an ‘ascending spiral of violence.”

4 civilians killed as troops in Kashmir exchange fire ISLAMABAD — Pakistani and Indian troops exchanged gunfire in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, killing four civilians and wounding nearly a dozen others, officials from both sides said Wednesday, as tensions remain high between the two South Asian countries. Kashmir is split between Pakistan and India and claimed by both countries in its entirety. They have fought two wars over the province. India sparked a new round of tensions in August, when it downgraded the autonomy of its side of Kashmir and imposed tighter controls on the area. On Wednesday, Pakistan’s foreign ministry said it summoned an Indian diplomat to lodge its protest over the previous day’s “cease fire violations” that killed three civilians, including two children, on the Pakistani side of the contested Kashmir border. In neighboring India, Lt. Col. Devender Anand, an army spokesman, said Pakistan fired at two dozen Indian army posts along the highly militarized Poonch sector Monday and Tuesday. He said Pakistani troops used mortar and machine-guns and targeted several villages as well.
Refusal to dismantle old oil rigs angers Germany BERLIN — The German government said Wednesday it has called an international meeting over Shell’s refusal to dismantle old oil rigs containing thousands of tons of crude in the Northeast Atlantic.A spokesman for Germany’s environment ministry told reporters in Berlin that the OSPAR Commission, which oversees a treaty on protecting the Northeast Atlantic, will hold an unprecedented special session in London to discuss the issue Friday. Stephan Gabriel Haufe said the four Shell platforms in question — known as Brent Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta — contain about 12,125 tons of crude oil residue. — Associated Press

GOP lawmakers fire away at Trump on Syria By Alan Fram Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A “dark day.” A “betrayal.” The “biggest mistake of this presidency,” and “really delusional.” And that was President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans. Trump’s decision to pull American troops out of northern Syria — triggering a deadly Turkish invasion targeting the U.S.’s erstwhile Syrian Kurdish allies — has unmuzzled GOP lawmakers in a manner seldom seen since Trump entered the White House. In a time when the threat of a caustic Trump tweet is enough to stifle open internal dissent, the extent and strong language Republicans are using to assail his policy is Syria has been striking. A statistical measurement of the party’s disgruntlement was on eyecatching display in in the House, which voted Wednesday by an overwhelming 354-60 to voice its opposition to Trump’s troop pullback. Remarkably, Republicans voted 129-60 for the nonbinding measure, delivering a stinging repudiation of Trump. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and the chamber’s two other top GOP leaders joined in lawmakers’ lopsided slap at Trump’s decision. Making Republican defections all the more noteworthy: They came as the two parties are at each
other’s throats over the Democratic impeachment inquiry of the president. While virtually all Republicans have rallied behind Trump in the impeachment fight, this is a moment — barely a year from the 2020 elections — when the White House and GOP lawmakers can ill afford to show divisions. No one was suggesting the GOP’s schism with Trump over Syria would soften the party’s opposition to tossing him out of office. “That’s a completely different issue,” said No. 3 House GOP leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana. No Republicans attacked Trump personally, instead carefully focusing their criticism on the policy. Still, the unfettered way in which Republicans openly belittled his troop withdrawal was noteworthy, both for its sweep and for the freedom that GOP lawmakers seemed to feel in opposing him. Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called it a “dark day” that would have been “much darker” if the two parties hadn’t united in voicing their opposition to the troop pullback. No. 3 House GOP leader Liz Cheney of Wyoming said Syrian Kurds are “facing what looks like a betrayal” by the U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who’s been a staunch Trump defender since he entered the White
House but a critic of his troop withdrawal, said Trump was making “the biggest mistake of this presidency.” While Trump had said the Kurds would be fine because “they know how to fight,” Graham told reporters, “To suggest the Kurds are safer is really delusional.” And Graham all but said Trump would be to blame if there’s a new terrorist attack by Islamic State militants. Many fear that group will be revived as Turkey batters the very Kurdish fighters who’ve been helping the U.S. neutralize them. “It’s going to be to the president’s detriment if there’s any attacks on our country, inspired attacks, not directly attacks, then he’ll own it,” Graham said. Also wading in was Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas, who’s not seeking reelection and has clashed with Trump over immigration and other issues. Hurd called Trump’s withdrawal a “disastrous decision” because the U.S. is abandoning an ally and ceding influence in the region to adversaries like Russia and Iran. He recalled his pre-Congress experience as an undercover CIA counter-terrorism officer. “One of the things I learned when I was in the CIA was to be nice with nice guys and tough with tough guys, not the other way around,” he said pointedly. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has repeatedly called the move “a mistake” and
expressed a determination to do something to correct it, though the answer is unclear. A former senator and Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who had frequent clashes with Trump and retired last year, has made few public statements since leaving Congress but weighed in on Wednesday. Asked in an interview why the GOP pushback has been so strong, Corker said, “It was such an irresponsible, precipitous decision where thousands of people are going to die. It’s at a whole new level.” Democrats, of course, showed no hesitance in using even stronger language against Trump. Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., labeled the withdrawal a “dangerous and stupid decision.” And Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., a former Marine and Iraq War veteran, said Trump “has never put his life on the line for his country” like U.S. soldiers in Syria have done. “Perhaps if he had not dodged the draft by lying about his feet, sending another American in his place to Vietnam,” he’d know that “nothing is more evil than betrayal,” Moulton said. That was a reference to a deferment that allowed Trump to not serve in the Vietnam War due to bone spurs. Critics have accused him of draft dodging because Trump hasn’t been able to recall which foot had the problem.
Workers celebrate GM deal, show union clout By Tom Krisher Associated Press
DETROIT — On the picket lines at a General Motors transmission plant in Toledo, Ohio, passing cars honked and striking workers celebrated a tentative contract deal by munching on 10 pizzas dropped off by a supporter. They had carried signs for 31 days and demonstrated the muscle the United Auto Workers union still has over Detroit’s three manufacturers. Details of the four-year pact weren’t released, but GM’s latest offer to end the monthlong strike included wage increases and lumpsum payments, top-notch health insurance at little cost to workers, promises of new products for many U.S. factories and a path to full-time work for temporary workers. That’s a big difference from what GM wanted going into the talks: to slash total labor costs at its factories, which are about $13 per hour higher than at foreign automakers in the U.S. Terry Dittes, the UAW’s chief bargainer with GM, said the deal offers “major gains” for 49,000 union workers who have been walking picket lines since Sept. 16. They’ll stay off work for at least a couple

more days while union committees decide if they will bless the deal. Then workers will have to vote on it. The deal shows that the union, with less than one-third of the 1.5 million members it had at its peak in 1979, still has a lot of clout with GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler. “I think economically the UAW will do just fine in this agreement,” said Art Schwartz, a former GM negotiator who now is a labor consultant in
Michigan. “The union certainly still has power in this industry.” The strike immediately brought GM’s U.S. factories to a halt, and within a week, started to hamper production in Mexico and Canada. Analysts at KeyBanc investment services estimated the stoppage cut GM vehicle production by 250,000 to 300,000 vehicles. That’s too much for the company to make up with overtime or increased assembly line
speeds. Analysts say the costs to GM will hit around $2 billion. Workers, on the other hand, lost north of $3,000 each on average, the difference between their base wages and $250 per week in strike pay from the union. “It’s nice to see there’s a deal, but without knowing the details I’m a little skeptical because we don’t know the highlights or the lowlights,” said worker Nick Kuhlman, who was among the strikers huddled around a burn barrel on a blustery, gray Toledo afternoon. “I just hope it gets done,” said Toledo worker Mark Nichols, who thought the strike would last only a week or two and was ready to get back to work because his savings are running low. GM apparently was able to close three of four factories that it wanted to shutter to get rid of excess capacity in slow-selling cars and components. The Detroit-Hamtramck plant will get a new electric pickup truck and stay open, but factories in Lordstown, Ohio; Warren, Michigan; and near Baltimore are to be closed. The Lordstown area will get an electric vehicle battery factory, but it won’t have nearly as many workers as the assembly plant that for years made compact GM cars.
Chicago teachers to strike in nation’s 3rd largest district By Kathleen Foody and Don Babwin Associated Press
CHICAGO — Chicago parents and community groups are scrambling to prepare for a massive teachers’ strike set to begin Thursday, prompting the city to preemptively cancel classes in the nation’s third-largest school district. The Chicago Teachers Union confirmed Wednesday night that its 25,000 members would not return to their classrooms Thursday after months of negotiation between the union and Chicago Public Schools failed to resolve disputes over pay and benefits, class size and teacher preparation time. The strike is Chicago’s first major walkout by teachers since 2012 and city officials announced early Wednesday that all classes had been canceled for Thursday in hopes of giving more planning time to 300,000 students’ families. During the 2012 strike, the district kept some schools open for half days during a seven-day walkout. District officials said this time they will keep all buildings open during school hours, staffed by principals and employees who usually work in administrative roles. Breakfast and lunch will be served, but all after-school activities and school buses are suspended in the district serving more than 300,000 students.
June Davis said if teachers strike, she would likely send her 7-year-old son, Joshua, to his usual elementary school — Smyth Elementary on the city’s South Side where almost all students are low-income and minority. Davis, 38, said she would otherwise have to take her son to his grandmother’s in a southern suburb, requiring an hourlong trip on a regional bus line. “Everybody’s hoping they will come to some kind of agreement, find some compromise,” Davis said. Janice Jackson, the district’s CEO, said earlier this week that more than 80% of families with students in Chicago’s public schools are considered low-income. “We have parents, who if they don’t go to work, they don’t get paid,” Jackson said. “So, we need to make sure that there is a place for their children to go so that they can continue doing what they need to do to support their families.” Talks are continuing Wednesday but Mayor Lori Lightfoot preemptively announced that classes on the following day would be canceled, saying she wanted to give parents more time to plan. A clearly frustrated Lightfoot said the city has not only offered a 16% pay raise over the 5-year contract, but the city has also agreed to put language in the contract that addresses “enforceable targets” on class size and increasing staffing
levels for positions such as nurses, librarians and social workers — items the union said were critical. She said the union’s demands would cost an unaffordable $2.5 billion per year. “Without question, the deal we put on the table is the best in the Chicago Teachers union history,” said Lightfoot. “Despite all this, the Chicago Teachers Union intends to forge ahead with a strike.” Union leaders, though, disputed Lightfoot’s characterization of the city’s willingness to concede to their demands on several issues, including class sizes. “CPS’ current class size offer falls far short of what’s needed to address the sweeping scale of the problem,” they said in a statement. Lightfoot said the city agreed to make substantial changes on some of the union’s top priorities, but its negotiators responded by issuing additional demands, including some she deemed unacceptable. “The union is still demanding to shorten instructional time by 30 minutes in the morning,” she said. “We won’t do that. We will not cheat our children out of instructional time.” Before heading into a downtown law firm for bargaining talks Wednesday morning, union vice president Stacy Davis Gates said there is a “gross disconnect” between Lightfoot’s comments and what negotiators have put in writing.
“To say that you have offered a proposal that respects what we are asking for, to say you’ve bent over backward …. it’s absolutely ridiculous,” Davis Gates said. Community organizations have been preparing for days to welcome students, ranging from a $100 per day camp for elementary school kids at the Shedd Aquarium to allday programs run by the Boys & Girls Club of Chicago and accessible for a $20 annual membership fee. Mimi LeClair, president of the Boys & Girls Club of Chicago, said a strike is particularly difficult for single parents and those whose jobs have inflexible schedules. “It’s a horrendous dilemma, deciding between likely losing their job or having their paycheck docked when they rely on every penny or leaving their children home alone,” LeClair said. The city’s public libraries also are planning programs for students, along with a network of churches and community centers that are part of the city’s Safe Haven program intended to give kids a safe place during the summer months particularly on the city’s south and west sides. The YMCA of Metro Chicago expects highest demand for its allday programs for children between the ages of 5 and 12, who are too young to stay home alone but whose parents may oppose sending them to schools unstaffed by teachers.

New rule may mean 1 million kids lose automatic free lunch NEW YORK — Nearly a million children could lose their automatic eligibility for free school lunches under a Trump administration proposal that would reduce the number of people who get food stamps. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has released an analysis that says as many as 982,000 children could be affected by the change. About half would have to pay a reduced price of 40 cents for school lunch and 30 cents for breakfast. Around 40,000 would need to pay the full price, which varies depending on the district. The rest — 445,000 — would remain eligible for free meals, but their families would have to apply to qualify.
Challenge in opioid trial: Finding jurors CLEVELAND — How to select a jury for a trial on the opioid crisis in an area particularly hard hit by addictions and overdoses? That’s the challenge facing attorneys and a judge responsible for choosing jurors in the first federal trial over the epidemic. Attorneys for two county governments in Ohio and for the half-dozen defendants being sued in a landmark trial in Cleveland are trying to select 12 jurors. Selection began Wednesday with lawyers and U.S. District Judge Dan Polster interviewing prospective jurors in the judge’s chambers to determine whether they have biases against either side, or whether they or immediate family members have been affected by opioids to a point where they would not be suitable for a jury. Polster said both sides Thursday will find one additional juror to bring the pool to a total of 24 that attorneys can then question and challenge in winnowing the list to 12.
Colorado appeals ruling on presidential electors DENVER — Colorado officials said Wednesday they want the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling that presidential electors can vote for the candidate of their choice and aren’t bound by the popular vote in their states. The August decision by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver puts “our country at risk,” Secretary of State Jena Griswold said at a news conference attended by Attorney General Phil Weiser. Griswold has decried the ruling as a violation of the one person, one vote principle. Weiser said the decision threatens to put presidential elections “in the hands of a few unaccountable presidential electors.” Four of the nine high court justices must agree to accept a case for it to be heard. Griswold and Weiser announced they’d filed their petition Wednesday, The Colorado Sun reported. Presidential electors almost always vote for the popular vote winner, and some states have laws requiring them to do so. Under the Electoral College system, voters who cast a ballot for president are choosing electors who are pledged to that presidential candidate. The electors then choose the president at the Electoral College. Colorado’s political parties nominate the state’s nine electors. In a split decision, the threejudge federal appeals panel said the Constitution allows electors to cast votes at their own discretion. — Associated Press

Maddon returns to Angels as manager for 3 years By Greg Beacham AP Sports Writer
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Joe Maddon is back under the halo. Maddon agreed to a three-year deal to become the Los Angeles Angels’ manager on Wednesday, reuniting the World Series-winning former bench boss of the Chicago Cubs with the organization where he spent the first three decades of his baseball career. “We are thrilled that Joe is coming back home and bringing an exciting brand of baseball to our fans,” general manager Billy Eppler said. “Every stop he has made throughout his managerial career, he has built a culture that is focused on winning while also allowing his players to thrive. We believe Joe will be a great asset for our club and look forward to him leading the team to another World Series championship.” The Angels will formally introduce the 65-year-old Maddon at a news conference next week, but he already knows his way around Angel Stadium. Maddon signed with the Angels
as an undrafted catcher in 1975, and he spent the next 31 seasons working at almost every level of the organization as a player, coach and manager. He served as a big league assistant coach under five managers, and he had two stints as the Angels’ interim manager. He was the Angels’ bench coach alongside manager Mike Scioscia during their championship season in 2002. “I could not be more excited to come back home and manage this great organization,” Maddon said. “I’d like to thank (owner) Arte Moreno, Billy Eppler and (president) John Carpino for giving me the opportunity to add another chapter to my Angels career. I was lucky enough to be a part of the first Angels team to win a World Series title, and I look forward to the opportunity to bring Angel fans their second championship.” Maddon left to manage Tampa Bay in 2006 for nine mostly successful seasons, followed by a bigmoney move to Chicago to make history. The three-time Manager of the Year left the Cubs by mutual consent
last month after they missed the playoffs for the first time in his fiveyear tenure. He’ll still likely never have to buy a drink in Chicago again because of 2016, when he led the Cubs to their first World Series title in 108 years. Maddon replaces Brad Ausmus, who was fired after one season when the Angels finished 72-90, their worst record since 1999. Ausmus was abruptly dismissed shortly after Maddon became available, and most observers assumed Moreno had his eye on a reunion with Maddon, the Angels’ bench coach when Moreno bought the club in 2003. The Angels also interviewed veteran managers John Farrell and Buck Showalter and Padres hitting coach Johnny Washington for the job, but Maddon was the choice. Maddon was expected to be a valued candidate for other managerial openings around the majors, but he was clearly eager for a reunion. Maddon kept a home in Long Beach during his 14 seasons away from Anaheim, and he has fond feelings for the organization that
gave him his start. That organization is experiencing hard times: The Angels have endured four straight losing seasons for the first time since the 1970s, and they still haven’t won a playoff game with Mike Trout and Albert Pujols on their roster, making just one three-game postseason appearance after winning the AL West in 2014. The Angels also were rocked this month by revelations about the role of a team employee in procuring opioids for pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who was found dead in his hotel room July 1. Maddon’s personal charisma and mild eccentricities have made him a popular figure in baseball, but his consistent success made him the highest-profile candidate on the managerial market. The Angels managed to bring him home in a much-needed boost for a beleaguered franchise. The Angels’ problems didn’t deter Maddon from taking over a roster with Trout as its centerpiece. The probable three-time AL MVP is signed to a 12-year, $426.5 million contract that should keep him in Anaheim for the bulk of his career.
The Angels’ starting pitching was easily their biggest weakness in 2019, but the rotation will benefit next season from the return of Shohei Ohtani, the two-way star who spent this year solely as a designated hitter while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Eppler also will attempt to be active in the free agent market to supplement a roster finally starting to bear fruit from Eppler’s years of rehabilitating a barren farm system. Maddon’s managerial career away from Anaheim began with two losing seasons in Tampa Bay, but has been impressive ever since. The Rays made a 31-game improvement and won the AL pennant in 2008, leading to the first of Maddon’s three Manager of the Year awards. He had five 90-win teams in Tampa Bay and four more in Chicago, including the 103-win Cubs who went on to that historic World Series victory. Maddon has received praise for his personable combination of old-school baseball passion and an eagerness to adapt to the new world of analytics and statistical decision-making.
Mariners left as only team never to reach World Series By Tim Booth AP Sports Writer
SEATTLE (AP) — And then there was one. The Washington Nationals are off to the World Series for the first time in franchise history after sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night, becoming the final National League team to reach the Fall Classic and leaving a single team with the distinction of never playing for a title. Congratulations, Seattle Mariners. Not only do you have the longest playoff drought in professional sports, but you are now the only team that hasn’t been to a World Series. Since the Mariners came into existence in 1977, there has been a void. Despite lineups that included the likes of Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro Suzuki, Randy Johnson, Edgar Martinez and Alex Rodriguez, they have just four playoff appearances in their history, all coming between 1995 and 2001. The Mariners have been to three American League Championship Series and were sent home each time.
The city has never experienced a major league ball game beyond Oct. 22. Seattle’s 1995 playoff run may have saved baseball in the Pacific Northwest. But as memorable as that was, it didn’t end in the World Series. Same for 2001, when the Mariners tied a major league record with 116 wins in the regular season only to be dispatched for the second straight year by the New York Yankees in five miserable games in the ALCS. Mariners fan Bob Simeone, a season-ticket holder since 1985, said attention focused on the team for its World Series futility is similar to what happened a couple of years ago when Seattle inherited the longest postseason drought. “We went through a wave of this when the Buffalo Bills made the postseason. ... So, we had that,” said Simeone, the commissioner of the Seattle Mariners RBI Club, a group of die-hard fans. “It’s a little bit like the 1995 story. You can only bring it up so many times and it starts to get tedious.” The woebegone franchise has become somewhat of an afterthought in a city where
all the other professional teams have won titles — and almost all coming since the Mariners were last in the postseason in 2001. The Seahawks broke through with their first Super Bowl win after the 2014 season. The WNBA’s Seattle Storm won championships in 2004, 2010 and 2018. The Sounders won the MLS Cup title in 2016. And the Seattle SuperSonics were the first of the city’s franchises to claim a title with their championship in 1979. Now, the Nationals’ unlikely playoff run this year has added the Mariners to a notable list of teams in the four major sports who have yet to reach a championship game or series. Cleveland, Jacksonville, Detroit and Houston have never reached the Super Bowl. Minnesota, Memphis, New Orleans, Charlotte, Denver and the Los Angeles Clippers have never made the NBA Finals. And Winnipeg, Arizona and Columbus are all still waiting for their first Stanley Cup Finals appearances. But in baseball, it’s only Seattle. And there is little
scoreboard ALCS Game 4 rained out, pushed to Thursday BASEBALL
By Jake Seiner AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — A rainy day in the Bronx has left a most daunting October test for the New York Yankees vaunted bullpen: four games, four days and already a deficit to overcome against the Houston Astros in their AL Championship Series. Game 4 of the ALCS scheduled for Wednesday night was postponed a day because of poor weather, with Game 5 pushed to Friday night at Yankee Stadium and Games 6 and 7 in Houston on Saturday and Sunday, if necessary. The Astros beat New York 4-1 on Tuesday to take a 2-1 series lead. The winner will face Washington and its well-rested, talented rotation starting in the AL city on Tuesday night. With New York relying so heavily on its relievers this month, the starter-driven Astros may be at an advantage. “If we’re going to win this series, our bullpen will still play a huge role, obviously,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “But we’ve got to be able to get a little bit of distance out of our starters.” Houston will pitch Zack Greinke on Thursday against the Yankees’ Masahiro
Tanaka in a rematch of Game 1, both on regular rest. Tanaka pitched six sterling innings as New York won 7-0. The Astros also announced that Justin Verlander will start Game 5 on full rest. He threw two-run ball into the seventh inning in a 3-2, 11-inning victory in Game 2 on Sunday. “It was an easy decision,” Astros manager AJ Hinch said. New York plans to counter Verlander with James Paxton. The left-hander was pulled after allowing a run over 2 1/3 rocky innings in Game 2, and concerns were raised that he was tipping his pitches. Both clubs had planned to use openers Wednesday, and New York will almost certainly still use a bullpen day in the series, probably in Game 6. Boone has ridden his relievers hard, asking them to cover 15 1/3 out of 28 innings in the series — a tough enough task with October’s built-in days off. The rainout leaves Aroldis Chapman, Zack Britton and the rest of that group without some valuable recovery time. Tanaka has been New York’s best bet for length this postseason. He needed just 68 pitches to cover six innings in the opener, improving to 5-2 with a 1.32 ERA in the postseason.

sign the drought will come to an end anytime soon. In the bigger picture of where Seattle sits as a franchise, the World Series is a pipe dream. The Mariners are in the midst of a full rebuild with the hopes of becoming competitive by the 2021 season, but
there’s no guarantee that the prospects Seattle is relying on will become playoff-caliber talents in just a couple of years. By that time, it will have been 20 years since Seattle was last in the postseason. At this point, just being in a playoff game would
seem like a satisfactory accomplishment. “The best thing about this postseason is looking at the depth of the four squads and you realize what it takes,” Simeone said. “It’s a long mountain to climb, that’s what it really boils down to.”

Pigskin Pick ‘Em: A sinking ship is taking on water fast By Nolan Rose For the Peninsula Clarion
The life raft keeping us afloat at Pigskin Pick’em Headquarters is taking on water! We’re officially in the middle of the NFL season and another uninspiring 6-8 tally against the spread in week six has left our season total at 36-53. Where do we go from here? Hopefully up! This has been the zaniest season I can recall in some time. Fortunately, this is a fictional column, and I was able to scrap together enough pennies to travel down to Seattle for the SeahawksRavens game. Earl Thomas’ homecoming should be a doozy! SEAAAAAAA-HAWWWWWWKS!
CHIEFS @ Broncos +3 The Donkeys have bounced back with two straight wins, after a month-long drought to start the season. Can Denver inch their way back into AFC West contention with a victory over the rival Chiefs? Kansas City has dropped two straight, it’s hard to imagine a team led by Patrick Mahomes will lose three in a row. Chiefs win 28-17
Ravens @ SEAHAWKS -3.5 I’m on a plane to Seattle, as I type this, for a little golf and the Seahawks game on Sunday. There’s no way my beloved Hawks will lose a game when I’m in attendance. It’s
not fathomable. Russell Wilson is six weeks into his MVP season and Baltimore has struggled all year to stop the pass. Go Hawks! Seahawks win 31-21
RAMS @ Falcons -3 It’s amazing how quickly fortunes can change in the NFL. The Rams were in the Super Bowl last February, now they’re third in their own division. City Goat quarterback, Jared Goff, remembered that he’s bad. The Goat defense has been putrid, the team is a total mess. Somehow the Falcons are worse. Rams win 28-24
with that. This is a science, people! Jags win 28-20
Vikings @ LIONS +1.5 The Lions were absolutely robbed of a win Monday Night against Green Bay. The NFL has to do something about the officiating. One wonders why a multi-billiondollar league doesn’t have full time officials. Why are the zebras going back to the office on Tuesday? Pay these guys what they’re worth and provide year-round training so the product is better. Lions win 21-17
have yet to make noise. When those two get going this Texans team will be tough to beat. Texans win 35-20
Chargers win 17-10
CARDINALS @ Giants -3
The Saints aren’t going to go undefeated with Hall-of-Fame quarterback Drew Brees on the sidelines, are they? New Orleans has kept things afloat behind a strong defense and perhaps the best RB in the league, Alvin Kamara. The vaunted Bears defense will play a key role in sending the Saints back down to Earth this Sunday. Bears win 20-14
I got the Desert Bats going into Giants Stadium and knocking off the G-men. Kyler Murray has impressed the past couple weeks, and his ability to improvise has got the Cardinals out of some tricky spots. The Giants were riding a high after inserting rookie passer Daniel Jones into the lineup. The honeymoon is over. Cardinals win 26-21
RAIDERS @ Packers -4.5
49ERS @ Redskins +10
The Canned Tuna are stinking up the NFL but there’s no way you can confidently lay 17 point to a Bills team led by errant passer Josh Allen. Buffalo has to be the worst 4-1 team in recent memory. The Tuna, for all their faults, covered the spread last Sunday, indicating they haven’t tanked completely. Bills win 20-7
The Packers escaped with a dubious victory on Monday night. The cheeseheads offense lacks punch without star receiver Davante Adams in the lineup. Green Bay may be without Geronimo Allison too after he took a brutal hit to the head last week. I haven’t had a feel for this Raiders team all season, but I think they find a way to cover. Packers win 24-21
This is an easy one folks. The 49ers, fresh off a dismantling of the Rams in Los Angeles, travel to play the hapless Redskins in the Nations capital. San Francisco, led by average at best QB, Jimmy Garoppolo, possess a dominant defense. There’s a good chance the Redskins don’t score a point. 49ers win 28-3
JAGS @ Bengals +3.5
TEXANS @ Colts even
The Bengals are bad. They were already bad, and then a bunch of their good players got hurt and now they’re really bad. That’s what happens in football. The Jags are also terrible, but maybe not as terrible as the Bengals. I flipped a coin and it came up Jags so I’m going
Houston looks like they might be able to challenge Darth Belichick and his minion Patriots in the playoffs. Deshaun Watson, in his third year, has really stepped his game up, providing the Texans and my fantasy team with plenty of points. Stars DeAndre Hopkins and J.J. Watt
The Chargers have long been a slow starting group, but the Bolts are taking that strategy to the extreme at 2-4. Tennessee is hoping to find a spark by removing Marcus Mariota, the team has replaced him with Ryan Tannehill. Yes, that’s the same Tannehill that wasn’t good enough to cut it for the Canned Tuna down in South Beach. This won’t end well.
DOLPHINS @ Bills -17
CHARGERS @ Titans -2
Saints @ BEARS -3
EAGLES @ Cowboys -3 The Cowboys looked like contenders in the NFC just three weeks ago, but after a trio of defeats, including a horrendous loss to the winless New York Jets, the Fighting Jerry’s have been exposed as frauds. I have no idea which Eagles team will show up, but the internet tells me Philly’s head coach has already guaranteed a victory. That’s good enough for me. Eagles win 26-23
PATRIOTS @ Jets -10 The storyline for the Jets is that they really weren’t completely awful all along and now that quarterback Sam Darnold’s life is not in jeopardy, the Jets are a tough out. We’ll see if that script stays true when Tom Brady and the boys visit New York on Monday night. I’m not betting against the Patriots. Patriots win 34-17
Ramsey ‘overjoyed’ by LA move; Rams eager for longterm deal By Greg Beacham AP Sports Writer
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams fully understand the risks they took in acquiring
volatile cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The defending NFC champions believe the potential rewards are well worth it. “You want guys with some swag, some personality,”
coach Sean McVay said Wednesday while he awaited the star cornerback’s arrival at their training complex. “As long as those guys love football, they love competing every single day, I think
this is a building that will suit him well.” Ramsey spent the day traveling and finally arrived at the Rams’ training complex Wednesday night. Los Angeles traded two first-round
picks and a fourth-rounder Tuesday for an elite defender whose tumultuous tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars ended early in its fourth season. “I was overjoyed,” Ramsey
Chuck Winters 42107 Kalifornsky Beach Rd, Soldotna, AK 99669 (907) 335-5466
said of his reaction to the deal. “I was super, super excited. A fresh start, and a fresh start in a place like LA, with the culture that I’ve heard about (with the Rams), and I’m a young guy still.”

‘This is the one’
Soldotna cyclists to discuss 250-mile Hebridean Way ride By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
T
here’s cycling, and then there’s cycling the Hebridean Way in Scotland. Soldotna’s Matt and Sarah Pyhala traveled halfway across the globe this summer to bike the hallowed Scottish route, which stretches 185 miles from the northern Butt of Lewis to the southern tip of the island of Vatersay off the northwest coast of Scotland. The two Soldotna cyclists will detail their adventure Thursday evening at the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center as part of KDLL’s Adventure Talks series. The Hebridean Way is the name given to the path that spans the Hebrides, a collection of islands off the northwest coast of Scotland. The Pyhalas traveled to Scotland in late May to complete a multiday cycling trip and to meet up with some friends for a Scottish distillery tour. Pyhala said he and his wife jumped a ferry in Oban, located on the mainland, to reach the island of Vatersay, where they
began their trip on June 1 from Castle Bay. It took the Pyhalas four days to bike 200 miles to the northern tip of Lewis, camping along the way as they experienced the rugged terrain in a way that most tourists never do, which is what Pyhala intended. “It was just about looking at traveling in a different way,” he said. “Instead of renting a car, going point to point, taking in things that way, we wanted to get on a bike and experience it at a slower pace. Just seeing it from a different way.” The route follows the National Cycle Network 780, a Scottish national bike route that winds its way through hilly countryside and small communities that dot the Hebrides. Before the trip, Pyhala said that he and Sarah were tossing around ideas of where to bike. He said the Hebridean Way wasn’t settled on until a trip to an equipment rental shop, where an employee suggested the route. “They looked at our timeline, so she suggested that’s what we do,” he said. “I investigated it, and ‘oh
More info The KDLL Adventure Talks will be held at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 17 at the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center. Admission is free for KDLL members, $5 for nonmembers.
yeah, this is the one we’re going to do’. The other routes along the road had busier highways, and the Hebridean way, it’s very much wilderness.” The Hebridean route follows what Pyhala described as a singlelane road that features two-way traffic, with frequent pullouts on each side of the road that allows opportunities to pass. Pyhala said that made for the occasional hairraising adventure. “One of most terrifying times of my life was rush hour,” he said. Pyhala said he and his wife crossed 10 islands, seven causeways that link each island to each other, and 200 miles, although Pyhala said they ended up at around 250 miles when all was said and done. “We did a bit of extra credit,” Pyhala said, referring to a fifth day

that tacked on another 50 miles that brought the Pyhalas to the tiny community of Mangersta that overlooks the north Atlantic Ocean. The two ended up staying a night at a ritzy bothy, or a wilderness cabin or shelter that is often free for public use. Following the bike trip, Pyhala said they met up with a few Danish friends for a tour of Scottish distilleries. The Hebrides have been inhabited for centuries by a collection of Celtic, Norse and
English-speaking people, and are an archipelago of more than 100 islands. Pyhala said experiencing the beautiful terrain of Scotland from the saddle of a bike is what he wants to share with the crowd Thursday at the Adventure Talks. “We wanted to do things that were more outdoorsy and get in the outdoors and experience that part of Scotland,” he said. “It’s known for that scenic beauty, so we toyed with different ideas. It’s a different way of experiencing a foreign country.”
‘We are still here, and we are thriving’ Indigenous Peoples Day celebrates the people, places and names that were here first By Ben Hohenstatt Juneau Empire
Progress was the focus of a pair of Indigenous Peoples Day speeches. Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska President Richard Chalyee Éesh Peterson and 2nd Vice President Jackie Pata, president and CEO for Tlingit & Haida Regional Housing Authority, envisioned continued resurgence of indigenous cultures in Alaska and the rest of the U.S. Their speeches were part of a celebration of the third Indigenous Peoples Day since former Gov. Bill Walker signed a bill into law that designated the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day instead of Columbus Day. “It’s a great day to be indigenous,” Peterson said. “We can proudly stand up and be recognized.” Both he and Pata praised the growing number of cities and states that have reassessed Christopher Columbus’ actions upon arriving in the New World and decided his actions are undeserving of celebration. Other places that celebrate Indigenous Peoples day include Washington, D.C., Louisiana, Vermont, Michigan, Maine, New Mexico and Wisconsin, South Dakota, Minnesota and Nevada. “His actions weren’t really worthy of being honored for half a millennium after his death,” Pata said. “Columbus killed and tortured many indigenous people. His precedent set the stage for centuries of oppression to follow.”
“It is just the beginning to be able to honor the contributions that indigenous people made in the past and will continue to make in the future and to give them the honor and the respect they deserve.” Jackie Pata, president and CEO for Tlingit & Haida Regional Housing Authority
Instead, Pata said it was appropriate to celebrate resilient people with a resurgent culture who overcame centuries of systematic disadvantages. “We are still here, and we are thriving,” Pata said. Some of Native American and Alaska Native people she highlighted were Jim Thorpe, one of the 20th century’s greatest athletes; Ira Hayes, a Marine who was part of the iconic Iwo Jima flag-raising; Howard Rock, editor for the Tundra Times; Ben Nighthorse Campbell, a former U.S. senator and representative; and Elizabeth Peratrovich, an Alaskan civil rights icon. “It is just the beginning to be able to honor the contributions that indigenous people made in the past and will continue to
Poet’s
Corner Midnight Sun To outshine a shooting star, forgive and forget. Let go of your hate and may God truly bless you. The midnight sun shines its boundless ray of light, showing colors of azure blue illuminating across the heavens above. While the northwest winds blow they pick up a whisper of my beating heart. As it soars over the northwest horizon it breaks the sound of silence, which brought about clouds to the waring mountains. Flashes of light reflected off nearby clouds as it brought forth summer rains to the land of the midnight sun, restoring life to the arctic circle. — By Jeffrey Henry

make in the future and to give them the honor and the respect they deserve,” Pata said. “In doing so, we will show America we need to come to terms with our complex and sometimes sordid history, but we can do it together in a way that is positive and progressive.” Peterson spoke about honoring the people who keep Alaska Native languages and arts alive, and the importance of Native names. “These things are important,” Peterson said. “Knowing who we are, where we are matters.”
He quoted the late Walter Soboleff, a Tlingit scholar, leader and Presbyterian minister, who said, “when our children know who they are, they don’t hurt themselves.” Peterson said as president of Tlingit & Haida he often talks with Alaska Native people who grow up in the Lower 48 with little knowledge of their culture. He said it’s important to continue to produce Native art, speak Native languages and continue to give people Native names. “We should all know who we are,” Peterson said.
He said that may mean giving a name at a nontraditional time. Peterson said for example, he was given his name at birth rather than a ku’eex’, or potlatch. “I’ve never had to live life not knowing who I am,” Peterson said. “We have this opportunity now. We’re seeing our culture have life breathed back into it. More language learners. Those are positive things. Let’s take that knowledge that’s being returned to us, and let’s make sure when we hold each other up, we give those names, so we all know who we are.”

Maleficent plays mom this time in ‘Mistress of Evil’ By Jake Coyle Associated Press
For a moment, “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” seems poised to turn into a wonderful take on “Father of the Bride” only with fangs and wings. Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning), the beauty who escaped the curse of sleep, merrily accepts the proposal of Prince Phillip (Harris Dickinson), a marriage that could unite the fairy and human worlds. Aurora cautiously asks if Maleficent (Angelina Jolie), her nowredeemed fairy godmother, might go with her to meet the parents: Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer) and King John (Robert Lindsay). It’s so much fun watching Maleficent prepare for the meeting by practicing such basic cordialities as smiling and small talk that it’s hard not to wish the movie sees the fearsome sorceress through the entire battery of wedding planning. Maleficent at a bridal shower. Maleficent choosing the table settings. Sadly, such fun is not to be had in “Mistress of Evil,” a needless sequel to the 2014 “Sleeping Beauty” riff that fails to fully value the entire of appeal of these films: Jolie’s Maleficent. The first movie, a box-office hit, was a mess but its star attraction was the one thing it had going for it. Jolie, an
“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” HH Rating: PG, for intense sequences of fantasy action/ violence and brief scary images unfortunately infrequent presence on the screen these days, slid into the role so perfectly, dominating all around her with Norma Desmond command and cheekbones that could slice your throat. The character had its roots in those ’50s melodrama stars; Marc Davis, animator of the 1959 Disney film, also sculpted Cruella de Vil. And in teaming Jolie with the equally potent Pfeiffer, whose queen quickly turns into Maleficent’s bitter foe, “Mistress of Evil” had the potential of summoning the intoxicating stuff of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. But the movie, with Joachim Rønning (“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales”) taking over for Robert Stromberg, overcomplicates itself. Instead of aiming for the elemental simplicity of a fairy tale, “Mistress of Evil” fills itself with the politics and detail of the fairy-human struggle, building inevitably to a PG-friendly war between Queen Ingrith’s army and the magical spirits of the Moors,

spread out across impressively vast computer-generated palace grounds. It’s starting to seem like every franchise film, when in search of a story, throws a battle against the wall and hopes something sticks. Not only has this gotten tiresome, but it also sacrifices what we came here for in the first place: Jolie and Pfeiffer glowering at each other. But all the necessary buildup to the clash (including Chiwetel
Ejiofor as among an exiled group of winged creatures called the dark fey) robs us of enough screen time with Jolie’s Maleficent. The plot in “Maleficent” drew largely from its inventive redemption of a classic Disney villain. But it didn’t really follow through on the possibilities of fairy tale revisionism. It simply offered up another villain (Aurora’s father King Stefan), just as “Mistress of Evil” does with its dastardly
Disney
Queen Ingrith. A better film would have kept playing with inverted archetypes. What saves “Mistress of Evil” from a worse fate, in the end, is Fanning. Aurora, like many of Fanning’s performances, is a welcome dash of naturalism amid all the CGI action. She’s such an innocent and wholesome young bride, though, that perhaps she’s ripe for reconsideration, too. Next time, maybe Beauty breaks bad.
Hall of Fame nominees include Notorious B.I.G., Soundgarden By Randy Lewis Los Angeles Times
The hip-hop legend the Notorious B.I.G., pop-R&B queen Whitney Houston, Seattle grunge band Soundgarden, the jam group the Dave Matthews Band, pioneering German electronic music ensemble Kraftwerk and powerhouse rock singer Pat Benatar are among the diverse slate of 16 music acts nominated for induction next year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The 2020 nominees also include Depeche Mode, the Doobie Brothers, Motör-head, Thin Lizzy, MC5, Nine Inch Nails, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Todd Rundgren, Judas Priest and T. Rex. Inductees are expected to be announced in January after the hall’s 1,000-plus voting members cast their ballots. As has been the case in recent years, fans also can vote for their favorites on the Rock Hall’s website. Fan balloting adds only one vote apiece for the top five vote-getters, but public sentiment can affect the hall’s voting membership, which consists of artists, managers, record industry personnel and music critics. Since the hall’s inception in 1983 and first class of inductees in 1986, it has taken criticism at times for what some have seen as

under-representation for women, hip-hop, new wave, heavy metal, progressive rock and others working outside the traditional rock framework. The nonprofit organization has diversified its board of directors and voting membership in recent years to better reflect the makers of and audience for contemporary popular music. The Notorious B.I.G., born
Christopher Wallace, is one of nine nominees who made the ballot for the first time, along with Houston, Matthews, the Doobies, Motörhead, T. Rex, Benatar, Soundgarden and Thin Lizzy. If inducted, Biggie, who was killed in 1997, would join six other rap artists who previously have made the Rock Hall: Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, N.W.A, Tupac Shakur, the Beastie Boys,
Run-D.M.C. and Public Enemy. Biggie also is the only act among the nominees to make that list in his first year of eligibility. This is the sixth year that the nominees include Kraftwerk, whose 1970s recordings laid the foundation for much of subsequent dance and electronic music. It’s the fifth for Detroit proto-punk band MC5, the fourth for funk-R&B group Rufus featuring Chaka Khan and
the third for both industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails and British alternative pioneers Depeche Mode. Judas Priest and Rundgren were each nominated once previously, in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The 2020 induction ceremony, slated for May 2 in Cleveland, where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is located, will usher in a new era for the organization after the departure Jan. 1 of Chairman and former Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner. Wenner is handing over the reins to John Sykes, a longtime board member who also is iHeartMedia’s president of entertainment. In an interview in September with The Times, Sykes pledged to continue and expand the hall’s efforts to include a diverse group of musicians and genres. That means making changes to the organization’s board to better reflect the various strains of popular music that resonate with listeners. “The most important mandate is to rebuild our board,” he said. “We have to modernize the way we think and create a more diverse board to reflect the artists who are becoming eligible. It’s no longer the artists of the ’50s and ’60s, and we have to have a board with knowledge that speaks to that.”
Hollywood ‘fixer’ Scotty Bowers, who wrote tell-all book, dies at 96 By Hillel Italie Associated Press
NEW YORK — Scotty Bowers, a self-described Hollywood “fixer” whose memoir offered sensational accounts of the sex lives of such celebrities as Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, has died. He was 96. Bowers’ agent, David Kuhn, said he died Sunday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. A native of Ottawa, Illinois, Bowers was a Marine who served in the Pacific during World War II and moved to Los Angeles after the war ended. He found work in 1946 at a gas station on Hollywood Boulevard, and later contended his life changed when the actor Walter Pidgeon drove up in a “shiny”

Lincoln two-door coupe and asked, “What are you doing for the rest of the day?” “The gas station was the portal that eventually took me Scotty Bowers into an exclusive world where high-class sex was everything,” Bowers wrote in “Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Lives of the Stars,” published by Grove in 2012. Bowers switched jobs from gas attendant to bartender and was welcomed, however discreetly, into the Hollywood underground and party scene. He kept planned assignations in his head, not on paper, and managed to avoid both vice squads and the tabloids in a
more censorious, pre-TMZ world. In “Full Service,” he told some of the industry’s most shocking stories since Kenneth Anger’s notorious “Hollywood Babylon.” At a time when Hollywood nicknames included “Duke” (for John Wayne) and “Bogie” (for Humphrey Bogart), Bowers was known as “Mr. Sex.” He wrote of orgies with Cole Porter, “sexual mischief” with Grant and actor Randolph Scott, giving Vivien Leigh “orgasm after orgasm” and affairs with J. Edgar Hoover and Spencer Tracy. He also alleged that he found partners for everyone from Hepburn and Grant to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. “His idea of good clean fun included drilling a peephole in the gas station’s bathroom,”
The New York Times’ Janet Maslin wrote in 2012, “exercising his healthy libido so fully that he sometimes needed an ice pack to recuperate, and providing fake college girls to serve as the real college girls cited in Alfred Kinsey’s scientific sex studies.” Bowers was the subject of a 2018 documentary, “Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood,” directed by Matt Tyrnauer. Critics were skeptical, and Tracy biographer James Curtis dismissed Bowers as “full of glib stories and revelations, all cheerfully unverifiable.” But he also had numerous defenders, including the writer Gore Vidal, to whom Tyrnauer dedicated his film. “Scotty doesn’t lie,” Vidal
wrote in a blurb for the book, “the stars sometimes do -- and he knows everybody.” Bowers would allege that he had adult encounters since age 11, when a Catholic priest in Chicago would pay $1 for favours. He finally settled down in the 1980s, writing that the AIDS epidemic meant that “it was too unsafe a game to play anymore,” and married speech therapist Lois Broad in 1984. Bowers waited decades to tell his story in part because some of his alleged former clients and lovers were still alive. “I’ve kept silent all these years because I didn’t want to hurt any of these people,” Bowers told the Times in 2012. “And I never saw the fascination. So they liked sex how they liked it. Who cares?”

Sockeye salmon catch total tops 2 billion By Mary Catharine Martin The Salmon State
This year, during the fishery’s second-largest harvest on record, Bristol Bay commercial fishermen hit another historic number: the 2 billionth sockeye salmon caught by commercial fishermen since record-keeping began in the late 1800s. “It wasn’t supposed to happen this fast, but the last couple of seasons had huge returns,” said Nushagak/Togiak Area Management biologist Timothy Sands. 2019 was the fifth consecutive year that more than 50 million sockeye salmon returned to Bristol Bay. In 2018, fishermen caught 41.9 million sockeye out of a record overall return of 62.3 million sockeye. In 2019, fishermen caught 43 million sockeye during a return of 56.5 million sockeye, meaning this year fishermen caught a higher percentage of the total return. (All rivers met their escapement goals — the amount of salmon swimming upriver necessary to ensure healthy future runs.) 2019 was also the most valuable
Fall fishing in full swing By Kat Sorensen Peninsula Clarion
Fall fishing is here and in full swing across the Kenai Peninsula. Anglers will have more luck with beads and fly rods than anything else this season. According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, rainbow trout and dolly varden fishing on the Middle and Upper Kenai River is nearly excellent, with silver salmon fishing slowing way down with anglers reporting variable success.
all-salmon-species harvest. The preliminary exvessel value, or estimated dollar amount the harvest earned fishermen when they sold to a processor, is $306.5 million. Some may remember Bristol Bay passing another “2 billion” marker in 2016. That was the 2 billionth overall salmon caught in the region. The first billionth sockeye was caught in 1981 — the 98th year of Bristol Bay’s fishery. The Bristol Bay Economic Development Corporation (BBEDC) points out that the 2 billionth sockeye came just 38 years later, which means that the size of the average harvest has been much bigger in recent years than it was at the start of the fishery. For the first 98 years, up to the first billionth sockeye caught, Bristol Bay’s average annual catch was a little more than 10 million fish per year. For the last 38 years, it’s been about 27 million sockeye per year. “I think it just speaks to the sustainability of the management system we have in place in Bristol Bay that after 136 years of fishing, we’re still having record runs and we’re able to sustainably harvest

2 billion sockeye salmon from the systems in Bristol Bay,” Sands said. Scientists who study the Bristol Bay’s salmon attribute a large part of the area’s productivity to its diverse “portfolio” of salmon systems: some rivers may do well one year while others do well the next, depending on conditions. Just like an investment portfolio, diversity leads to overall better returns. “Credit healthy habitat and
clean water for this remarkable story of sustainability,” said Norm Van Vactor, CEO of the BBEDC. “That, a strong, science-based state management system, and the cooperation of fishermen and processors accounts for this longterm success.” Mary Catharine Martin is the communications director of SalmonState, a nonprofit initiative that works to ensure Alaska remains a place wild salmon thrive.
The third annual Kenai Silver Salmon Derby wrapped up at the end of September, with a winning weight of 10.28 pounds caught by angler Mike Maddox. The final winner, though, was not determined by who caught the largest fish. Instead, the Kenai Silver Salmon Derby uses a randomly generated weight to declare a winner. The third annual derby was held across two weekends, Sept. 13 to 15 and Sept. 20 to 22. Above: Participants of the Silver Salmon Derby flaunt their catch.
Rainbow trout and silver salmon fishing on the Russian River is fair. Silver season closes on Sept. 30, but until then anglers are allowed one per day, one in possession. Local lakes are well stocked, providing and opportunity for nearby fall and winter fishing throughout the Kenai and Soldotna area. Fishing the lakes for rainbows, Arctic char, Arctic grayling and land locked salmon has been excellent. Fish and Game recommends trying dry or wet flies, like an egg sucking leech, bead head nymph or mosquito pattern, small spoons and spinners size #0 or #2, or small bait under a bobber.
Salmon Task Force efforts falter at NPFC meeting The North Pacific Fisheries Management Council held its October meeting in Homer this month after a 36-year absence, the first since Clem Tillion’s last stint as Council chairman. According to a memo from Executive Director David Witherell, the Council discussed the next steps for managing the overcapitalized halibut fishery, reviewed applications for foreign permits for the operation of a Japanese trawler and a Taiwanese mothership, discussed salmon trollfishery landings pursuant to its salmon fishery management plan, took final action to approve a framework procedure for setting dates for the Tanner crab fishery, and increased the Gulf of Alaska pollock optimum yield level by 40,000 tons. Not mentioned in the memo is the meeting of the Salmon Task Force that took place. The task force is an advisory committee set up to respond to a successful lawsuit by United Cook Inlet Drift Association and Cook Inlet Fishermen’s Fund to get federal oversight over the Upper
Cook Inlet commercial salmon fishery in order to meet compliance with the federal MagnusonStevens Act (MSA). According to the Council website, the committee was created to “assist in the development in an amendment that will incorporate EEZ (exclusive economic zone) waters” into the federal Fisheries Management Plan. That effort appears to be faltering and is resulting in another flurry of court filings. At issue is UCIDA’s and other UCI commercial salmon fishermen’s contention that the State of Alaska’s management of the fishery, much of which takes place in federal waters (more than 12 miles from shore), does not follow all of the MSA 10 National Standards, primarily by not managing for maximum sustained yield, not using the best scientific data available for conservation and management, not using a resource to the maximum national benefit, and not following the guidelines for managing essential fish habitat. When the committee met in Homer this month, things apparently came to a stalemate, according to David Martin, president of

UCIDA. “We’re still at an impasse, because the directions from the Council and NMFS is contrary to what the 9th Circuit ruling is.” Martin said that task force guidelines from the National Marine Fisheries Service say that they do not have to create a management plan for the entire fishery, just in the EEZ, which they define as south of Kalgin Island. That is contrary to the court ruling that NMFS was responsible for the fishery throughout its entire range. “They mentioned ‘every drop of water,’ and that NMFS should not be able to wriggle out of its duty to manage the entire fishery,” he said. That has led to a flurry of court filings. “Where we’re at now is that we’ve filed an enforcement order in District Court,” which has oversight over the 9th Circuit, Martin said. That filing mentions nearly three years have passed since the 9th Circuit issued its order, and that no management plan is forthcoming. NMFS replied that “UCIDA’s motion asks this court to issue an order requiring the government to usurp the State’s sovereign right to
manage salmon in State waters.” It went on: “Contrary to UCIDA’s assertion, the Ninth Circuit ordered nothing even remotely justifying the extraordinary relief UCIDA now seeks. This requested relief is far removed from the live controversy in this case, has not been briefed as part of this litigation, and is not ripe for decision. “Further, issuing the ‘declaratory ruling’ that UCIDA requests would require this court to first speculate which of three draft plan options the North Pacific Council (‘the Council’) might adopt, and then speculate whether that option would comport with the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act.” UCIDA is asking the court to define the fishery, which Martin contended had already been done in the original ruling. If and when there is a fishery management plan, it would be drafted by the Council with direction from NMFS and submitted to the Secretary of Commerce for approval. There are no plans for another task force meeting until at least April, another bone of contention brought up with the courts in UCIDA’s latest filings.
