In the news Alaska musher banned from Iditarod sled race next year ANCHORAGE — Officials have banned a longtime musher from competing in Alaska’s Iditarod sled dog race next year, citing concerns about his care of dogs. Officials announced Wednesday that the race’s Qualifying Review Board has denied musher Hugh Neff’s application to compete in the 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, the Anchorage Daily News reported . “Musher Hugh Neff’s entry application to compete in the 2019 race has been denied by the QRB due to concerns over his lack of dog care during the 2018 Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race,” the Iditarod Trail Committee said. “The Iditarod Trail Committee believes that the highest level of dog care must be achieved not only in its event but throughout the year.” The newspaper couldn’t reach Neff for comment Wednesday. Yukon Quest officials banned the two-time champion from competing in the 2019 race after his dog Boppy died this year near the race’s halfway point between Fairbanks and Whitehorse, Yukon. A necropsy found the dog died from aspiration pneumonia caused by inhaling vomited stomach contents. Race veterinarians said the dog also had other health problems believed to be preventable, including stomach ulcers, a whipworm infestation and severe weight loss. The examination suggested that the dog was not given proper deworming medication or medicine to prevent stomach ulcers. Neff appealed the Yukon Quest ban, but a third-party review board upheld it. Neff has competed in 14 Iditarod races and 18 Yukon Quests. — Associated Press

‘Christmas in the Park’ returns By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
Santa Claus is coming to town this weekend in Soldotna. The annual “Christmas in the Park” tradition is returning for another year — with a twist. The event begins Saturday at 4:30 p.m. at Soldotna Creek Park, with a new, live spruce coming to life during the official lighting of the Christmas tree near the end of the evening, Andrew Heuiser, Soldotna Chamber of Commerce events and programs director, said. For years, the city of Soldotna’s official community Christmas tree was a metallic structure sponsored by ConocoPhillips. Heuiser said Conoco pulling its sponsorship, combined with the task of moving the The community gathers beneath a Christmas tree during Soldotna’s tree lighting event Dec. 2, See PARK, page A3 2017, at Soldotna Creek Park.

Credit Union 1 to serve marijuana businesses By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — A credit union will launch a pilot program to begin serving marijuana businesses in Alaska, giving the cash-reliant industry a financial option after banks shunned the industry. Most banks and credit card processors in the U.S. won’t service marijuana businesses because of the federal prohibition on marijuana. Credit Union 1 announced its decision Thursday and said See CREDIT, page A2
Soldotna sees small dip in summer visitors By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion
From July to September, Soldotna saw only a small decrease in visitors despite a poor salmon run. “We had almost 19,000 visitors come the the visi-
tor’s center during that period,” said Soldotna Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Shannon Davis in her third-quarter report to Soldotna City Council at Wednesday night’s meeting. “That number was only slightly down from last year despite the low
return of red salmon to the Kenai River.” Visitor numbers have been steadily declining for several years, but Davis points to a change in busing for the drop. “We used to get buses in almost daily,” she said. “They don’t stop at the visitor’s cen-
ter anymore.” The low salmon run did impact the city in other ways, Davis said. “Know that Soldotna wasn’t unaffected by the bad fishery this year,” she said. “While the city saw an increase in taxable sales in the
first and second quarter, third quarter was down 7 percent over last year.” The overall picture, Davis said, remains healthy with just a 1 percent drop in taxable sales across the first three quarters. See VISIT, page A3
Nikiski seniors perform mock trial By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Senior students from Nikiski High School’s American government class spent Wednesday and Thursday afternoon performing mock murder trials at the Kenai Courthouse. With the help of local attorneys Peter Erhardt and Paul Morin, who acted as the judges during the mock trial, the students filled the roles of the jury, prosecution, defense, witnesses and the accused. Joe Rizzo, Nikiski High’s government teacher, said Thursday’s case was a murder trial about a woman who had serious gambling issues, got involved with organized crime and was eventually murdered. “Her business partner is the one being accused of the crime,” Rizzo said. He said Wednesday’s mock trial was a manslaughter case
with a focus on texting and driving. The cases were designed by law students in Oregon as mock trial events for high school students. This is the second year Rizzo had his student perform mock trials. “Last year went really, really well,” Rizzo said. “We only did one day here in the Kenai Court. I ran four trials, which was too many. It took too much class time. So, we have it down to two trials and that seems to be perfect.” At Thursday’s mock trial, students Hannah Young and Gabriel Smith played prosecutors. After the trial, Young said the event went all right, and not how she expected. “It was very difficult due to the limited amount of time we had to prepare,” Young said. Hannah Young, who played a prosecutor, questions a witness during Nikiski High’s Thursday Smith also said the exercise mock murder trial at the Kenai Courthouse on Thursday.

Mystery ballot could sway control Logs made on Prince of Wales Island hit stores of Alaska state government By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press
JUNEAU — It’s a sign that every vote does count. A single mystery ballot found on a precinct table on Election Day but not counted then could decide a tied Alaska state House race and thwart Republican efforts to control the chamber and all of state government. The ballot arrived in Juneau last Friday in a secrecy sleeve in a bin with other ballot materials. Officials were investigating its origins and handling before deciding
whether to tally it. “People kept calling it close,” Democrat candidate Kathryn Dodge said of the race for the House seat in Fairbanks. “I just didn’t know it was going to be squeaky.” A recount is scheduled for Friday after the race between Dodge and Republican Bart LeBon was previously certified as a tie, at 2,661 votes apiece. The uncounted ballot appears to be marked for Dodge. The outcome will have big political implications. If LeBon wins, Republicans will control the state House in ad-
dition to the state Senate and the governor’s office. If Dodge wins, the House would be split 20-20, between Republicans and the remnant of a coalition that is largely comprised of Democrats but includes two Republicans. For the candidates, it’s been a three-week rollercoaster ride marked by lead changes before the tie was declared and by the appearance of the mystery ballot. Elections director Josie Bahnke said she wants to ensure that every vote cast by an eligible voter is counted. See BALLOT, page A2
KETCHIKAN (AP) — An Alaska-made product that aims to be an environmentally friendly alternative to regular wood logs will be sold for the first time across the state. Viking Firelogs made on Prince of Wales Island are being shipped to the nine Walmart stores in the state, the Ketchikan Daily News reported Wednesday. The 3-pound logs are made from the compressed trimmings and waste from Viking Lumber’s two sawmills. No adhesives or binders are used in the making of the logs, the company said.
Don Reed and DJ Hansen created Tongass Wholesale Distribution to distribute and market the product, which has previously been sold only on the island. “It’s basically a byproduct, something renewable, sustainable, green,” Hansen said. Each store will get two 2,000-pound pallets of the logs to sell. These shipments of logs will serve in part to test the product’s commercial performance, Hansen said. “So every Walmart store in Alaska now has two pallets, and we’ll cross our fingers See LOGS, page A3

it comes with no political or moral position on marijuana. Safety concerns were a significant factor, and providing the service would keep massive amounts of cash off the streets, according to CEO James Wileman. “It’s a lot of cash,� he said. “Imagine running your own life without having access to banking.� The state-chartered credit union also strives to provide services to the underserved, Wileman said, adding, “this segment of business is completely not served.� He expects the pilot program to begin in the first half of 2019. Kelly Mazzei with the state’s tax division said the agency supports the move as a time-saver because it will cut down on counting cash. “This is extremely good news for the state,� she said. In taxes alone, the industry in Alaska paid the state nearly $11 million between January and September, according to
Department of Revenue figures. Marijuana businesses are ecstatic about the option, said Cary Carrigan, executive director of the Alaska Marijuana Industry Association, which represents about 120 retailers, manufacturers and cultivators. Only a handful of businesses will initially participate in the pilot program, but others also want to join, he said. “The consensus is, ‘What took so long?’� he said. Alaska voters in 2014 approved so-called recreational use of marijuana by those 21 and older, with the first licenses issued in 2016. Anchorage attorney Jana Weltzin said most of her Alaska marijuana business clients are excited about an opportunity to participate because it would free them from having to keep so much cash in their homes or vehicles. Some of her clients are among the few to take part in the pilot effort. Weltzin lauded the credit union for being “brave enough� to implement a system. “It’s an inevitable step for a financial institution to take if they want to participate in this industry that’s generating a lot of money,� she said.

Dodge, a former member of the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly, said it appears the ballot was not put through the scanner on election night. She believes it’s valid and should be counted. LeBon, a retired banker, said he has questions about the handling of the ballot and expects a legal challenge from whoever loses the recount. He said questions about other ballots also could be raised during the recount. An attorney for Dodge on Thursday asked Bahnke to include a ballot in the recount that had the ovals next to both candidates filled in but an “X� on the LeBon oval. The ballot wasn’t counted for either candidate, but attorney Patrick Munson said it should go toward Dodge’s total. If the race remains tied af-

ter the recount and possible legal challenges, state law calls for a winner to be determined “by lot.� A coin toss decided a tied House race in 2006. “I’ve come too far to have a coin toss settle this,� LeBon said. The current House speaker, Democrat Bryce Edgmon, won the 2006 primary through the coin toss on his way to being elected to the chamber later that year. He said he didn’t recall the race being stressful, pointing out that he also had a good job in the fishing community of Dillingham to focus on if he had lost the race. On the day of the coin toss, he said his son fell sick and had to be taken to the emergency room, which occupied his attention much of the day. Remembering the coin toss is exciting, but the experience is “not something I would wish for anybody to go through,� he said.

It was pretty hard and dangerous to move it. It was kind of the perfect time to bring in (the new tree).� Taking the place of the longtime artificial tree is a fresh, live spruce that Heuiser said should liven up the atmosphere. The new tree, according to Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Joel Todd, is a 20-foot tall spruce tree that was hauled in from the land around the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, where it had been growing. All that’s left to do is for jolly old Saint Nicholas to

The company is also looking for other Alaska-made products to disturber to a wider consumer base. “There’s probably a lot of really good products that are made in Alaska that just aren’t getting to the markets, so that’s one of the things that we want to do,� Reed said. “Whether it’s small, medium or large, we want to set up a channel for you — to get it into the markets.�

What Others Say
Political maneuvering no match for marketplace realities President Trump believes he can
command markets like King Canute thought he could the tides. But General Motors has again exposed the inability of any politician to arrest the changes in technology and consumer tastes roiling the auto industry. GM said it plans to eliminate 15 percent of its salaried workforce in North America and stop production at five plants that employ 6,700 workers, including one in storied Lordstown, Ohio. “We are taking these actions now while the company and the economy are strong to stay in front of a fast-changing market,” CEO Mary Barra said. The U.S. auto maker plans to redeploy some $4.5 billion in annual savings to more profitable truck, electric-car and autonomous-vehicle manufacturing. Investors cheered by bidding up GM’s stock, but the President reacted like a spurned suitor. “You know, the United States saved General Motors and for her to take that company out of Ohio is not good,” he said Monday, adding Tuesday that he might end GM’s subsidies. GM shares promptly fell 2.6 percent. *** As a candidate Mr. Trump lambasted Ford for shifting production to Mexico, then took credit when the company announced it would keep its Lincoln MKC in Louisville, Kentucky. But both decisions were motivated by market changes, and so is GM’s. GM is halting production at plants that make sedans including the Chevy Cruze, Impala and Volt hybrid. Americans are buying more trucks and SUVs amid lower gas prices and better fuel efficiency. Small cars make up a third of U.S. vehicle sales compared to half in 2012. About 75 percent of GM sales last year were trucks and crossovers, up from 60 percent in 2012. Its share of the small-car market has also fallen by a third in a decade amid Japanese and Korean competition. The main driver of GM’s failure a decade ago was its uncompetitive labor contracts. Rather than reduce costs or idle unproductive plants, GM offered bigger discounts to goose sales. But the market tides still rolled in, and GM executives have learned that staying competitive is necessary to avoid another collapse. GM is essentially following Ford and Fiat Chrysler by phasing out small-car production. Last year GM cut production by a third at Lordstown and nearly half at a plant in Oshawa, Ontario. Keeping these factories open at lower levels of output would waste human and physical capital that could be deployed to more productive and profitable units. The Trump Administration deserves credit for giving auto makers flexibility to make more of the cars consumers want by relaxing corporate average fueleconomy standards. GM’s third-quarter profit in North America surged 37 percent even as U.S. sales fell due to strong demand for pricier pick-ups and SUVs. Boosting production of higher-margin vehicles is imperative as auto sales flatten after eight years of robust growth and rising interest rates curb demand. Material costs have also increased due to Mr. Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs. GM said in July the tariffs could raise its costs by as much as $700 million this year, which is equal to the pay of about 9,400 employees. Mr. Trump and liberals howling about layoffs ignore that GM is steering more investment toward electric and autonomous vehicles. Electric cars make up only about 1 percent of U.S. auto sales and often sell at a loss though they could become more popular as batteries improve. But China is GM’s largest market, and it sold a third more cars there than in the U.S. last year. Beijing has set electric-car quotas, and to be competitive GM has little choice but to make cars in China. All the more so after Beijing raised tariffs on U.S.-made cars to 40 percent from 15 percent in retaliation for Mr. Trump’s tariffs. GM is also betting that autonomous cars will become the rage as millennials and aging baby boomers give up the wheel. Ford is experimenting with self-driving cars to deliver pizzas. Google’s Waymo will soon deploy a self-driving taxi fleet of Chrysler minivans, which GM is planning to challenge. *** Mr. Trump and Democrats seem to believe that with the right mix of tariffs and managed trade they can return to a U.S. economy built on steel and autos. This is the logic behind the Administration stipulat-

Senators consider sentencing bill tweaks to satisfy sheriffs By MARY CLARE JALONICK and KEVIN FREKING Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senators are considering changes to criminal justice legislation to appease Republicans and law enforcement groups as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell weighs whether to bring the bipartisan legislation up for a vote before the end of the year. Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, said Thursday that the bill’s supporters are looking at changes requested by the National Sheriffs’ Association, which has been lobbying for additional provisions to ensure violent criminals, sex offenders and certain drug traffickers aren’t prematurely released from prison. Senators met with President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in a private meeting Wednesday to discuss how to move forward on the legislation to revamp the nation’s sentencing laws. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said they are considering tweaks to the bill to appease around a dozen senators. “We’re trying to see if we can make some changes, not major changes, to satisfy them,” Grassley said Thursday. It’s unclear if the changes are really needed for passage, as supporters of the
bill have argued that they would have the 60 votes needed if McConnell would just put the bill on the floor. And tweaking the bipartisan compromise to assuage some senators could mean losing votes elsewhere, endangering a successful vote. But McConnell typically eschews legislation that divides his caucus, and Republican senators have disagreed strongly on the criminal justice legislation. Trump has endorsed the bill, which would boost rehabilitation efforts for federal prisoners and give judges more discretion when sentencing nonviolent offenders, particularly for drug offenses. The president’s announcement earlier this month boosted prospects for the legislation, but his influence has only gone so far. McConnell has hesitated and a group of Republicans led by Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton say it’s too soft on some offenders. Cornyn, the lead vote-counter in the Senate, said a majority of Senate Republicans are either opposed to the bill or undecided on it. That doesn’t mean the bill would be rejected, since Democrats almost uniformly support it, but adding Republican “yes” votes could help persuade McConnell to put the legislation on the floor. “That would help a lot if we could get the sheriffs onboard,” Cornyn said. The National Sheriffs’ Association wrote Senate leaders earlier this month and requested that several items be added to the
bill. Those included changes to ensure individuals convicted of serious gun crimes, heroin and fentanyl traffickers and a broad group of sex offenders would stay in prison. Supporters of the bill said the legislation would already keep those people incarcerated, in most cases, but were willing to make tweaks to satisfy dissenters. Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, who has pushed the bill with Grassley since President Barack Obama’s administration, said they are looking at a list of additional crimes that would be excluded from eligibility for early release. “That list is growing, but I don’t believe it’s including a lot of crimes that are very common,” Durbin said. “They are unusual, but they have political volatility to them, so we’re trying to figure out how to expand that list.” Durbin added they have a “delicate political balance” and supporters are trying to find ways to keep that balance as they consider changes. Other senators have requested additional revisions. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, wants legislation added that would renew local re-entry programs to reduce recidivism. But some senators will never be won over. Cotton tweeted Thursday that supporters “need to fix all the bill’s problems — not just some of them — and release text so Senators and public can see.”
Farm-bill deal scraps new work requirements for food stamps WASHINGTON — A bipartisan deal on the multi-billion dollar farm bill would scrap new work requirements for some older food stamp recipients — rejecting a plan backed by House Republicans and President Donald Trump. Lawmakers expect to vote next week on the tentative deal, announced Thursday by House and Senate negotiators. Democrats and many Senate Republicans opposed the work requirements, which became the biggest stumbling block to an agreement on the farm bill. The legislation sets federal agricultural and food policy for five years and provides more than $400 billion in farm subsidies, con-
servation programs and food aid for the poor. In a statement Thursday, House and Senate agriculture committee leaders from both parties said they had reached an agreement in principle but were working to finalize the bill’s language and costs. “We still have more work to do. We are committed to delivering a new farm bill to America as quickly as possible,” said the statement by Sens. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., and Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Reps. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, and Collin Peterson, D-Minn. Roberts and Conaway chair the Senate and House Agriculture committees, respectively, while Stabenow and Peterson are the top Democrats. Rep. Mark Walker, a North Carolina
Republican who leads a group of House conservatives, said he was disappointed that the bill appears to leave out the new work requirements, a top priority for many House Republicans and Trump. “House conservatives, the president and the vast majority of Americans support policies that encourage work and help lift people out of poverty,” Walker said on Twitter. “As I’ve said for months, those provisions have to stay” in the bill. Work requirements for food stamps, known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, were included in a bill that narrowly passed the House with no Democratic votes. A bipartisan version that won easy Senate approval did not include the requirements, and few Senate Republicans want them.
ing in its new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada that 40 percent to 45 percent of a vehicle’s value must consist of parts made by workers earning at least $16 an hour. But an economy doesn’t run on nostalgia. U.S. auto makers don’t fear the new wage mandate because engineering performed by higher-skilled U.S. employees ac-
counts for ever-more of a vehicle’s value. GM could soon become as much a tech company as a manufacturer. Amid a strong economy, most laid-off GM employees should find work. GM may also decide to retool idled factories to produce trucks as Fiat Chrysler has with a plant in Michigan. Mr. Trump thinks his trade machinations can overrule the re-
alities of the marketplace, but he’s as wrong as Barack Obama was about the climate and regulation. Fine with us if he wants to end subsidies for all car companies. But if he intervenes to make GM less competitive, Mr. Trump will merely hurt more workers.

Nation/World Michael Cohen pleads guilty to lying to Congress By LARRY NEUMEISTER Associated Press
NEW YORK — Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, made a surprise appearance before a federal judge in New York on Thursday and pleaded guilty to lying to Congress to cover up that he was negotiating a real estate deal in Moscow on Trump’s behalf during the heat of his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Trump called Cohen a “weak person” who is lying to get a lighter sentence. The charge was brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the presidential election, and was the result of his cooperation with that probe. Flanked by his lawyers, Cohen admitted making false statements about the project in 2017 to Senate and House intelligence committees, which at the time were investigating possible connections between the Trump campaign and Russia. His comments made clear that his communications with Trump about the project were much more frequent than he had suggested. Cohen, 52, wearing a blue tie and dark suit, was notice-

ably relaxed throughout the appearance in a packed Manhattan courtroom, unlike his irritable and emotional demeanor when he entered a guilty plea during the summer. Cohen told the judge he lied about the timing of the negotiations, his communications with people in the company and in Russia about the deal, and other details to be loyal to Trump and consistent with Trump’s “political messaging.” Cohen and prosecutors referred to Trump as “individual one” throughout
Thursday’s proceedings and said he lied “to be loyal to Individual One.” Among other lies, Cohen said he told Congress that all discussions about building a Trump Tower in Moscow had ended by January 2016, when they had actually continued until June of that year. He said he also lied about his contacts with Russian officials and lied when he said he never agreed to travel to Russia in connection with the project and never discussed with Trump
plans to travel to Moscow to support the project. Prosecutors said in a court document that Cohen had misled Congress to give a false impression that the Moscow project had ended before the Iowa caucus and first Republican presidential primary in 2016. As he left the White House shortly after the court proceeding concluded, Trump called Cohen “a weak person” “Michael Cohen is lying and he’s trying to get a reduced sentence,” Trump said.
Ukraine urges NATO to deploy ships amid standoff with Russia

KIEV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian president has urged NATO to deploy naval ships to the Sea of Azov, a proposal that has been sharply criticized by Russia as a provocation that could further inflame tensions between the two countries. In an interview in the German daily Bild, published Thursday, President Petro Poroshenko laid out his hope that NATO would “relocate
naval ships to the Sea of Azov in order to assist Ukraine and provide security” against the expansionist ambitions of Russian President Vladimir Putin. His call follows the weekend incident in which the Russian coast guard fired on and seized three Ukrainian vessels and their crews. Russia charged that the Ukrainian vessels had failed to obtain permission to pass from the Black Sea into the Sea of Azov through the Kerch Strait between Russia’s mainland and the Crimean Peninsula it annexed from Ukraine
in 2014. Ukraine insisted that its vessels were operating in line with international maritime rules. The Ukrainian government said Thursday that Russia has blocked commercial traffic to and from Ukrainian ports on the Sea of Azov, a claim Russia quickly denied. “Putin wants nothing less but to occupy the sea,” Poroshenko said. “The only language he understands is the unity of the Western world.” Putin, for his part, criticized the West for what he described as connivance with Ukraine’s “provocation.” “The authorities in Kiev are successfully selling anti-Russian sentiments as they have nothing else left to sell,” he said. “They can get away with whatever they do. If they want to eat babies for breakfast today, they will likely get served too.” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she plans to press Putin at this weekend’s G-20 summit in Argentina to urge the release of the ships and crews. “We can only resolve this in talks with one another because there is no military solution to all of these conflicts,” she said. NATO said it already has a strong presence in the Black
Deutsche Bank offices raided in money laundering case By DAVID RISING and FRANK JORDANS Associated Press
BERLIN — German authorities raided Deutsche Bank’s headquarters Thursday amid suspicions that its employees helped clients set up offshore companies that were used to launder hundreds of millions of euros. About 170 police officers, investigators and prosecutors swooped in on the bank’s offices in Frankfurt and premises in nearby Eschborn and GrossUmstadt at 10 a.m. (0900 GMT), seizing electronic and paper records. The investigation emerged from an analysis of documents leaked from tax havens in recent years, including the 2016 “Panama Papers,” said Frankfurt prosecutors’ spokeswoman Nadja Niesen. It is focused on two Deutsche Bank employees, aged 50 and 46, and possibly other still unidentified suspects, she said. At least one site raided was a suspect’s home. Analysis of the Panama Papers and other documents “gave rise to suspicion that Deutsche Bank was helping clients set up so-called offshore companies in tax havens and the proceeds of crimes were transferred there from Deutsche Bank accounts” without the bank reporting it, Niesen said.

Sea region. The alliance’s spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said NATO ships routinely patrol and exercise in the Black Sea, and that they have spent 120 days there this year compared to 80 in 2017. She noted that several NATO allies conduct air policing and reconnaissance flights in the region, adding that members Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey border the Black Sea and have their own military equipment deployed.
BERLIN — A plane carrying German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the Group of 20 meeting in Argentina was forced to make an unscheduled landing Thursday night in western Germany. A German military blog reported it was due to technical problem with its radio. The government A340-300 VIP Airbus, which was en route to Buenos Aires, turned around over the Netherlands about an hour into the flight, the German news agency dpa reported. The aircraft landed safely in Cologne about 9 p.m. (2000 GMT), with journalists on board reporting no injuries. Several firefighting vehicles were on stand-by as Merkel’s plane landed because it had more fuel on board than is customary during landing, dpa reported. A replacement German air force plane was being prepared to carry Merkel and her entourage to the G-20 meeting, which starts Friday in the Argentine capital. The Cologne-Bonn airport has a military base called Cologne-Wahn that is adjacent to the civilian airport. According to German military blog Augengeradeaus.net, the aircraft was transmitting a 7600 transponder code, indicating a radio failure. German government planes, operated by the country’s air force, have been plagued by technical problems in recent years. In 2015, the same aircraft was grounded due to a technical problem shortly before Merkel was to fly to New Delhi, forcing her to switch to a distinctly less luxurious A310 troop carrier. Merkel was told of the need to turn around Thursday night while she was holding a background briefing for journalists accompanying her to Buenos Aires. The G-20 meeting comes amid growing economic uncertainty and global displeasure with U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policies.

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday from the Group of 20 summit in Buenos Aires that the sanctions freeze the assets of those individuals in Canada and make them inadmissible to Canada. The U.S., Germany and France have already done something similar. Canada made no mention of the Saudi crown prince, who is also attending the G-20 summit. “This case is not closed as far as Canada is concerned,” Freeland said. “Those responsible for Mr. Khashoggi’s death must be held to account and face justice.” Freeland said a credible and independent international investigation needs to happen. She said the Saudi explanations lack credibility to date. — The Associated Press

In 2016 alone, more than 900 customers are alleged to have transferred some 311 million euros ($351 million) to one such company set up in the British Virgin Islands, she said. The suspects, both German citizens, are accused of failing to report the suspicious transactions even though there was “sufficient evidence” to have been aware of it. Deutsche Bank confirmed the search and said “the investigation has to do with the Panama Papers case.” “More details will be communicated as soon as these become known. We are cooperating fully with the authorities,” the bank said. Money laundering has become a growing problem in Eu-
rope, where a series of scandals has exposed lax regulation. And it’s not the first time Deutsche Bank has run into trouble over the flow of dirty money. It was fined more than $600 million by U.S. and U.K. authorities in January 2017 for allowing customers to transfer $10 billion out of Russia in what regulators said was “highly suggestive of financial crime.” The Panama Papers are a trove of documents from a law firm that handled shell companies for thousands of rich and powerful clients around the world. While owning a shell company is not illegal, it is used to hide the beneficial owner of a company or transfer, making it important for the handling and laundering of dirty money.

Religion
Utahns would like Romney to stand up to Trump stand up to Trump, while about as many indicated the senator should support Trump if elected. The new data reaffirms Trump’s struggle to gain widespread acceptance among Mormons despite the faith’s deeprooted conservative leanings. Voters of other religious faiths such as evangelical Christians and Catholics are more consistent in their ratings of the president and vote choice. Across most other religious affiliations, about the same share voted for Republican candidates as said they approve of the president. That’s not the case with Mormons: 67 percent voted for Republicans, but 56 percent said they approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president. That’s according to an analysis of 1,528 Mormon voters based
By HANNAH FINGERHUT and BRADY McCOMBS Associated Press
WASHINGTON — About two-thirds of Mormon voters nationwide favored Republicans in the midterm elections, but President Donald Trump’s approval rating among members of the faith lagged behind, according to a nationwide survey of midterm voters. And as Republican Sen. Mitt Romney prepares to join the new Congress in January, most voters in the predominantly Mormon state of Utah — 64 percent — would like to see the senator confront the president, AP VoteCast found. About half of Romney’s supporters — including his Mormon supporters — said they would like to see the former Massachusetts governor
on data from VoteCast, a survey of more than 115,000 voters nationwide conducted for The Associated Press by NORC at the University of Chicago. The data offers an unusual level of detail about the voting decisions of a sometimes misunderstood religion. Among Mormon voters in Utah, 76 percent preferred Republican congressional candidates, but only 56 percent said they approved of Trump. By comparison, 8 in 10 white evangelical Christians nationwide voted for Republican candidates, and nearly as many (79 percent) said they approve of Trump. Among Catholics, nearly half voted for Republican candidates and said they approve of Trump (49 percent each). Nationally, 45 percent of voters said they approve of the way
Trump is handling his job as president, while 55 percent disapprove. Among Republican voters nationwide, 85 percent said they approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president. Trump has struggled since he was a presidential candidate to gain acceptance among Mormons and in Utah, where the mostly Mormon electorate has long been uncomfortable with his brash style and his comments about women and immigrants. He won the deep-red state in the 2016 election, but many conservative voters cast ballots instead for third-party candidate Evan McMullin as Trump earned the lowest percentage of the vote among GOP presidential candidates since 1992. Members of the religion, which forbids its members
from using alcohol or tobacco and teaches that gay marriage and homosexual relationships are a sin, place a high value on manners, amiability and public diplomacy. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a Utah-based faith that counts 6.6 million members in the United States. According to VoteCast, a majority of Mormons said Trump does not have the right temperament to serve effectively as president (58 percent), while just about 4 in 10 (42 percent) said he does. Forty-six percent of Mormons said the president is honest and trustworthy. Support for Trump among Mormons nationally was slightly lower among more educated members of the faith. Collegeeducated Mormons were far
more likely to vote for Republican candidates than to express approval of the president (73 percent versus 51 percent), while there is no significant gap among Mormons without a college degree (63 percent voted for Republicans, and 60 percent approve of Trump). By contrast, Romney is widely revered in Utah and by Mormons for being a highprofile member of the Mormon faith in America and for his work in turning around Salt Lake City’s 2002 Winter Olympics after a bribery scandal. Romney captured 63 percent of the vote to win the U.S. Senate seat vacated by retiring Republican Orrin Hatch, also a Mormon. VoteCast showed about 8 in 10 Mormon voters in Utah backed Romney (83 percent).

Old Tom Bombadil
I
’ve been running into Tom Bombadil everywhere lately. The bright blue-eyed, enigmatically mysterious being (man isn’t the right word, but neither is creature) of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth has been sprouting up on every corner of my mind. I haven’t run into any merry fellows with blue jackets and boots of yellow. Although I know Seward to be an exciting place, I would be taken aback if I saw a man with a green girdle, breeches all of leather and “in his tall hat a swan-wing feather” standing outside on 4th Avenue. There was one guy I saw on a recent run with wild hair, a bristling brown beard and a piercing stare that had me thinking, could that be him? But Tom Bombadil is the master of wood, water and hill — not pavement and sidewalks. And when I do find myself in the woods, by the water or near the hills, I haven’t been singing his song, calling him. “Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow, By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us! Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!” Instead, I’ve been seeing Tom Bombadil in different ways. I am in the midst of a “Lord of the Rings” reread, so the Bombadil bombardment didn’t come from the middle of nowhere earth. It did come as a surprise, though, since this isn’t the first, or last, time I’ll be reading the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. The books are a comfort to me. I remember the first time my dad mentioned Tolkien, handing me a copy of “The Hobbit” and then the trilogy. From there I devoured each and every page, map and appendices that Middle Earth had to offer. I read and reread until I could watch and rewatch the movies. And I will proudly admit that I had a lot of “Lord of the Rings” action figures. The passion was (and still is) real. Despite all this, though, I lamented at how boring the Tom Bombadil chapters were. What was the point? Just get to the Prancing Pony and start the adventure already. Stop singing in the woods, eating delicious food and fawning over this being who speaks in rhymes. This time around, though? I can’t get enough Tom Bombadil. I’m finding a different comfort in this reading. Instead of rushing to the action like I have in the past, I savored the days the hobbits spent in the wood with Tom Bombadil and his wife, Goldberry, the river daughter. The rhymes stick in my head, as I imagine them being sung in between bouts of laughter. It’s easy to blame my change in locale for my newfound admiration of Bombadil.

Cowboys knock off Saints By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Pro Football Writer
ARLINGTON, Texas — Dak Prescott desperately scrambled for a first down in a game of fourth-quarter keepaway, then took three knees starting from the New Orleans 1 to run out the clock by the narrowest possible margin. Anything to keep Drew Brees and the NFL’s highest-scoring offense on the sideline. Ezekiel Elliott scored the only Dallas touchdown on a 16-yard screen pass and the Cowboys stifled Brees and the Saints, ending New Orleans’ 10-game winning streak with a 13-10 victory Thursday night. The Cowboys (7-5) won their fourth consecutive game and assured they will at least remain tied for the NFC East lead. The Saints (10-2) were shut out in
the first half, had their fewest points in three years and finished with a season-low 176 yards. They missed a chance to perfectly match Dallas from two years ago, when then-rookie sensations Elliott and Prescott won 11 straight after dropping the opener. “Everybody knew it. We had to keep the ball away from Brees,” Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. “We needed to play this kind of game. I must tell you, the defense played beyond my expectations. They played like a championship defense.” Brees had his fewest yards passing in a first half since joining the Saints in 2006 with 39, and couldn’t get a potential winning drive going in the final minutes. Instead, Jourdan Lewis’ interception — just the third for Brees while he became the NFL’s first with at least 30 TD passes in 10 seasons — gave
the Cowboys a chance to run out the clock from the New Orleans 1 after an interference penalty in the end zone. Brees said he was trying to throw the ball away behind pass-catching back Alvin Kamara, who cut outside just as Brees threw it and Lewis dove forward, barely keeping the ball off the ground. “As an offense, we think complementary football,” Brees said. “Let’s put together a drive. Let’s keep our defense off the field. Let’s control the game, control the clock, control the ball. Just never felt like we really did that as an offense like we’ve done this year.” The Cowboys spent the fourth quarter trying to protect their threepoint lead, with Prescott breaking several tackles on an 11-yard scramble on third-and-10 and Cole Beasley catching a third-down pass and diving for 5 yards on third-and-5.
But Prescott fumbled on his season-high seventh sack with Dallas in position for at least a field goal, giving Brees another chance from his 15 with more than two minutes remaining. Brees’ interception came two plays later, then Marshon Lattimore was called for interference against Amari Cooper in the end zone, giving Dallas a first down at the 1 with 1:58 remaining. The Cowboys had just enough time to end the game, with the play clock matching the game clock down to zero after Prescott took a knee for the third time. Brees was 18 of 28 for 127 yards, actually the second straight game and third overall under 200 yards for the MVP contender. The running game didn’t do much either, with Kamara getting 36 yards rushing while the Saints had 65 as a team after averaging 177 the previous four games.

South hockey cruises past Kenai Eagle River posts nonconference shutout victory in Homer By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
South Anchorage walked off the ice Thursday night 13-0 winners over Kenai Central in a lopsided nonconference tilt at the Kenai MultiPurpose Facility. South — which moved to 8-0 overall this year — had eight different players find the scoring column, led by team co-captain Ryan Bailey’s four-goal night. Wolverines teammate Josh Costello also had a big night with a hat trick. Facing the brunt of the damage was Kardinals fresh-
man goaltender Carson Koppes, who faced 74 shots over the course of 45 minutes, including a 34-shot onslaught in the second period, when the Wolverines scored seven times. Koppes ended with 61 saves, and earned the praise of Kenai head coach Jacob Newton. “If you see 74 pucks and saving them as a freshman, it shows a lot of promise,” Newton said. “I’m proud of the attitudes of our kids, we didn’t take any bad penalties, we stayed out of the box. Just couldn’t generate any offense.” Kenai — which dropped
to 0-8 overall — continued a confident trend of clean play by committing just two penalties Thursday. South head coach Steve Belde said he wanted to see his undefeated crew continue to improve puck possession and movement on the ice during the Wolverines’ current three-game road trip to the peninsula. “The puck didn’t leave our stick much tonight,” Belde said. “When it did, it left their stick with a purpose. I want other (teams) to see the best South team they can.” The fun started early for the Wolverines with two
goals in the first 48 seconds of the game. Colton Gerken knocked in a puck on South’s first shot of the night, and Bailey got his first of the night with a top shelf flip on a rebound. Those two quick goals would stand as the only ones of the first period as Kenai readjusted and buckled down on defense the final 14 minutes of the frame. Newton said he was pleased to see his squad keep South out of the net during that stretch. “They made it tough on us,” he said. “We kept it things out on the perimeter and tried See PUCK, page A9
The Fairbanks Ice Dogs notched their fourth straight victory over the Kenai River Brown Bears, triumphing 5-1 at the Big Dipper Ice Arena in Fairbanks on Thursday. The teams were tied at 1 after two periods, but the Ice Dogs erupted in the third period. Fairbanks improves to 13-81-2 and moves into a tie for second place in the Midwest Division. The Bears fall to 9-12-2-1 and remain tied for fourth place in the division. The Ice Dogs also lead the Ravn Cup, the seasonlong battle between the two teams, 4-0. The same teams play at the same place Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. “It was just self-inflicted wounds,” Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich said. “We took some penalties we shouldn’t have taken, we weren’t very good on the power play, we gave up a shortie. “It was a lot of things we caused ourselves and we’ve got to stop doing that.” The Ice Dogs went up 1-0 in the second period with a short-handed goal by Jonathan Sorenson, but Soldotna’s Preston Weeks made it 1-all by the end of the second. Petrich said Wasilla’s Porter Schachle did a good job crossing the goalie’s vision on the shot. But the momentum didn’t hold as the Ice Dogs had two back-door tap-ins, a breakaway goal and an empty-net goal in the third period. Games can get away from teams fast in front of the big Big Dipper crowds, but Petrich said the crowd wasn’t the bigSee BEARS, page A9
Kenai blackfish came from Bethel
S
ince learning that Alaska blackfish had been found in two small streams in the city of Kenai, I have wondered how they got here. Like northern pike, Alaska blackfish are native to Western and Interior Alaska, but they have been historically absent from Southcentral Alaska, including the Kenai Peninsula. I wondered whether introduced blackfish in Southcentral Alaska get around like northern pike, which spread in our area through intentional introductions, or more like the invasive aquatic plant elodea, which has spread mostly accidentally through boat and floatplane traffic. In the Refuge Notebook on Oct. 26, I wrote about the historical account of how blackfish were unintentionally transAn Alaska blackfish lurks in the shallows of an ice-rimmed pond in Kenai on Tuesday.

R efuge N otebook M att B owser an amphibious aircraft. From there, the fish made their way through streams and wetlands, and were later spread by people to other water bodies in Anchorage and the Mat-Su. Given the Anchorage story, it seemed possible that Alaska blackfish could have arrived in the city of Kenai by floatplane. The floatplane basin at the Kenai Municipal Airport has been there for some time and, judging from old topographic maps, was historically connected to two streams close to where blackfish now occur. I looked for blackfish in water bodies currently and his-
torically connected to the Kenai Municipal Airport floatplane basin, but I found none. Jennifer Hester from the Kenai Watershed Forum set out a minnow trap, a good method for catching blackfish, in the floatplane basin. She caught only sticklebacks. Based on this recent work and historical fish sampling records, it looked like blackfish did not get to Kenai via the floatplane basin. We still had one more tool at our disposal for learning more about where these fish came from. Matthew Campbell and Dr. J. Andrés López, both at the University of Alaska Fairbanks at the time, had investigated the geography and genetic diversity of Alaska blackfish, reporting their findings in the Journal of Fish Biology in 2014. They had obtained DNA barcode sequences from 169 See REFUGE, page A8

closer to the wood, water and hill than I ever have been. Walking through the trees on Mt. Marathon last week, I half expected to see a group of hairy-footed hobbits following Tom, who is bouncing down down the trail singing: “Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bobadillo!” Instead, I saw a changed landscape from the one I had grown accustomed to all summer long. Branches were bare and the ground crunched below me. Ice filled the streams and small flecks of snow fell onto my face while I looked

blackfish taken from 22 populations over much of the species’ range and published their data, providing a reference library of blackfish DNA barcodes from known locations. Campbell and López found that their one specimen from the Mat-Su was most similar to fish from Western Alaska, consistent with the historical account of how blackfish first arrived in Southcentral Alaska. Thanks to Jennifer Hester, who collected blackfish for me in October from a pond in Kenai, I was able to send in two tissue samples for DNA barcoding. When I compared the sequences we obtained to the available library, I found that those from the Kenai population closely matched populations from the vicinity of Bethel. The Kenai sequences were also quite distinct from the Mat-Su population. It now appears, based on genetics and where blackfish occur in the city of Kenai, that the progenitors of the Kenai population were brought from the Bethel vicinity by aircraft to the road system and released here. Why would someone make this effort to transplant blackfish to Kenai? This hardy species is harvested for food in Northern and Western Alaska, so the intent may have been to stock a pond with harvestable fish. Along similar lines, someone might have been trying to bring pike or something else from Bethel using minnow traps, with the blackfish coming along as bycatch. It seems unlikely that blackfish would have been brought all the way from Bethel for a fish tank and later released. Whatever the original reasoning by whoever brought them here, the decision to
down at Seward glowing in the fading light of an early dusk. It was still the trail I knew, the trail I had walked or run on dozens of times before. Things were a bit different up there and I found myself looking closer at the ice crystals in the ground, instead of the budding wildflowers on the trees. Here’s a tired statement: things change. And here’s my addition to it: so do the comforts you take from them. The Tom Bombadil chapters are behind me and, for the first time, I’m sad to say goodbye to the character who taught the hobbits the right road, to keep their feet from wandering. But, it’s been a few years since I’ve added a few dog-ears to my ragged copy of “The Fellowship of the Ring,” and I’m excited to see what new comforts I’ll find along the trilogy’s trail.

TORONTO — Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 37 points, Pascal Siakam added a career-high 26 and the Toronto Raptors overcame a 51-point performance from Kevin Durant to beat the Golden State Warriors 131-128 in overtime on Thursday night, extending their winning streak to seven. Kyle Lowry had 10 points and 12 assists, Serge Ibaka scored 20 points and Danny Green had 13 as the Raptors snapped an eight-game losing streak against Golden State and won a contest billed as a potential NBA Finals preview. Toronto improved its league-leading record to 19-4.
The decision to have blackfish in the Kenai River system has been made for all of us and is practically irreversible. — Matt Bowser
have blackfish in the Kenai River system has been made for all of us and is practically irreversible. Northern pike have been eradicated from many water bodies in Southcentral Alaska using the piscicide rotenone, but treating lakes in Anchorage with this chemical led to increases in blackfish after other fish species were killed. The only reason we have not seen blackfish spread in the Kenai River system as quickly as they did in Anchorage is that these two small streams in which blackfish now occur both drain into brackish water near the mouth of the Kenai. This is poor blackfish habitat and appears to have been a real barrier to their further spread to date. It should be obvious, however, that the small distance separating blackfish in Kenai from productive salmon streams like the Moose and Swanson rivers is much less of an obstacle to dispersal than the Alaska Range that lies between Southcentral and Western Alaska, a barrier that blackfish have crossed twice now. Matt Bowser serves as Entomologist at Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Find more Refuge Notebook articles (1999– present) at https://www.fws. gov/refuge/Kenai/community/ refuge_notebook.html.

Reed, Cantlay share lead NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Patrick Reed and Tiger Woods are about as far apart as can be on the leaderboard after one round of the Hero World Challenge. Only they know how close they are after the Ryder Cup fallout. Reed showed no sign of fatigue in his travels from Dubai to Hong Kong to the Bahamas in successive weeks, making birdie on three of his last five holes Thursday for a 7-under 65 and a share of the lead with late-entry Patrick Cantlay. Woods was never under par at any point and opened with a 73, eight shots behind, tied for 16th in an 18-man field. Reed’s comments after Europe won the Ryder Cup still follow him. In a phone interview with The New York Times hours after the loss, Reed blamed Jordan Spieth for them not playing together, U.S. captain Jim Furyk for twice leaving him on the bench and he made it sound as though he was stuck with Woods
as a partner in Paris. “We spoke after the Ryder Cup for a long period of time,” Woods said. “We talked among us and it will stay between us.” This is one time Reed held his tongue. After his eighth and final birdie in balmy weather at Albany Golf Club, he acknowledged nothing more than they had talked. “Whatever I talk about with other players and other guys stays between the guys,” Reed said. He also said he hasn’t spoken to Furyk, and Reed told the New York Post on Tuesday that he hasn’t spoken to Spieth, but that Spieth has his number. “It’s been I don’t know how many weeks (since the Ryder Cup), but in the golf world, it’s been a long time,” Reed said. “All of us on our side have moved past that. Basically, when the tournament was over, all of us moved past it and we’re just kind of getting ready for hopefully
two years.” But there’s a Presidents Cup in between, next December in Australia, and while the intensity is not the same, the team concept is intact. And it could get even more awkward considering Woods is the captain. “I don’t think anything needs to be resolved,” Reed said. Reed is used to going about life is own way, and he’s not about to made any apologies. He just wants to play good golf, and there was plenty of that on a day that allowed for low scoring. All but three players were at par or better. Woods was not one of them. His return to tournament competition didn’t start nearly as well as his last one ended. The World Challenge is his first 72hole event since he won the Tour Championship at East Lake on Sept. 23, the end of a remarkable comeback season from a fourth back surgery that signaled Woods was capable of winning again.

Lightning snap Sabres’ streak By The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Cedric Paquette broke a tie with 5:41 left and the Tampa Bay Lightning ended the Buffalo Sabres’ franchise-record-tying winning streak at 10 games with a 5-4 victory Thursday night. Paquette beat Carter Hutton from then top of the left circle. Dan Girardi, Alex Killorn, Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos also scored, and Luis Domingue made saves. Sam Reinhart had two goals for Buffalo, and Zemgus Girgensons and Tage Thompson also scored. After the Sabres took a 4-3 lead on Thompson’s goal at 2:29 of the third, Stamkos tied it 1:49 later on a power play.
gei Bobrovsky stopped 23 shots and Columbus beat Minnesota to move ahead of Washington for the Metropolitan Division lead. Nash, who signed as a free agent last summer, got his first goal in 29 games — and first as a Blue Jacket — in the second period and assisted on Markus Hannikainen’s first-period tally. Columbus has won two in a row and six out of eight. Cam Atkinson and Artemi Panarin also scored. Mikael Granlund and Zach Parise scored for Minnesesota.

team that finished second in that pool, went on to win state. “That’s what I’m hoping for,” Nikolaevsk coach Bea Klaich said. “It’s not that we didn’t play well. We played pretty solid, but some definitely had first-game jitters.” For example, Klaich said freshman Justin Trail was making his debut at state and had up-and-down play. Klaich chose Markiana Yakunin as the player of the pool from the Warriors. With boys jousting at the net, Klaich said covering up attacks and blocks is crucial. Yakunin exceled in that area all day. The coach added that senior captain Michael Trail was steady all day and setter Elizabeth Fefelov did a good job getting to balls that were not passed perfectly.

Mother thinks teen is missing out by dating over the phone wouldn’t be betraying him. Most young people go out in groups, and that’s what you should be doing. This may be what your mother is trying to convey rather than saying he isn’t The One. Also, you and this young man have years of education to complete before you’ll be in a position to formalize your relationship. While you are doing that, both of you Abigail Van Buren will meet new people and be offered opportunities that may broaden your horizons. Think about it. DEAR ABBY: For the past two years, my husband, “Dennis,” has worked Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. He’s in a business where he doesn’t have to be the only one to work these holidays. He volunteers to do it because of the tips and holiday pay. When I walked into the office today, I saw a note he had written to his boss asking to work both holidays again. Years ago when my father was alive, he hosted Christmas Eve for our family. Then the tradition was handed down to me, and I proudly hosted them. Now
that Dennis and I are together, our place is too small, so I asked my son to do it and he gladly agreed. My problem is, I will have to go to my son’s alone again for Christmas Eve, and my son and daughter-inlaw feel insulted because Dennis won’t come for the holidays. How do I deal with this? -- HUSBANDLESS FOR THE HOLIDAYS, AGAIN DEAR HUSBANDLESS: It appears you and Dennis have been married only a short time. Was he like this when you were dating? If the answer is no, it’s time to ask him if he intends to continue working holidays indefinitely. And when you do, let him know that his refusal to spend family time with your son and daughter-in-law hurts their feelings as well as yours. If that doesn’t convince him to compromise, you will have to explain to your son and his wife that Dennis prefers to work rather than attend holiday celebrations and to please not take it personally because it’s not personal.

Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 30, 2018: This year you feel stressed about your responsibilities and having to meet the demands of your work. Trust in your abilities. Though you might fret, you will perform to your highest level most of the time. If you are single, you might not want to take others for granted. That special person could be right around the corner. If you are attached, the two of you understand each other well and do not demand too much from each other. Your significant other will pitch in and help you meet some of your responsibilities. Do not be too difficult with a wayward VIRGO. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might not know where your feelings and moods stem from; you just know they exist. Someone you deal with could challenge your logic when you come up with a wild idea. Choose your words with care. You could be opening a can of worms. Tonight: Live in the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your mind might be working overtime, but you’ll get the results you want. You might wonder how you got to where you are, as so much seems to be going on around you. Try to keep some information to yourself for now. Tonight: Set aside some time for a special loved one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might not choose to share everything that is racing through your mind. You want to be rational, but your imagination seems to have dif-

ferent plans. You sense what a boss is about to ask. If a friend becomes controlling, simply walk away. Tonight: Dinner at a favorite place. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your feelings are close to the surface. You seem to know the results of a situation before it even happens. An associate might feel challenged by your intuitive abilities and could become controlling. Allow this person to take the lead with a project. Tonight: Be spontaneous. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Curb the need to be possessive with a friend or co-worker. Let this person do what he or she needs and/or wants to do. You cannot judge the end results right now. Use caution when dealing with finances or making financial agreements. Tonight: Time for some fun and games! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You tend to be quiet and patient, while many people around you seem a bit off-the-wall. No matter what, you do not want to get into a discussion about their behavior. You have more important things to worry about. Tonight: Sort through your many invitations and options. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Stay steady, and do not reveal too much of what you are thinking or feeling just yet. You might be picking up on some important information just by paying attention to others’ body language. Be sure to confirm your feelings. Tonight: A roommate could be on a roll. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might have a distorted perception of how someone feels. Try to better understand this person’s

role in your life. A conversation now could elicit uncomfortable results, whereas a talk in a few weeks could have a different outcome. Tonight: Keep it light and easy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH A parent, boss or someone you feel you must answer to could become fussy all of a sudden. You might retreat into your own world to avoid this controversial person. Given a few weeks, your situation will feel more positive. Tonight: Be spontaneous, but not too impulsive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might not realize how controlling or difficult you are being right now. Do not be surprised to see someone head for the hills. Your sixth sense could come into play, and if you follow your feelings, you will know what you should do. Tonight: Take off ASAP. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Relate to an individual directly when dealing with an important issue. You might see the need to have a conversation about a mutual concern. You will better understand where this person is coming from as a result. Use caution with funds. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could feel challenged by others right now. You tend to daydream, and you try to avoid confrontation in general. You might not feel comfortable expressing yourself. A conversation could explode at any given point, leaving you feeling confused. Tonight: Out late. BORN TODAY Model Chrissy Teigen (1985), actress Kaley Cuoco (1985), TV personality Dick Clark (1929)
The delays of the day Dear Heloise: When I travel, I always try to book airline flights for the EARLIEST DEPARTURE IN THE DAY, especially if I have to catch a connecting flight to another city. This way, I can get ahead of any delays, which start stacking up as the day goes on. -- Hillary G., Woburn, Mass. SURVIVOR BENEFITS Dear Readers: If your spouse has passed away, you are entitled to claim Social Security survivor benefits at age 60, in addition to your own retirement benefits. The survivor benefits are based on what your spouse earned. However, the amount can vary, so you should check with Social Security in your area, or go online (https:// www.ssa.gov/planners/survivors/ifyou5. html) for more information. -- Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: Before I go on a trip, I go through my wallet and remove all department-store credit cards and reward cards, as well as any gift cards. On a trip, I usually don’t need them, so why risk losing them? I store them in a safe place, and if I were to lose my purse, there would be less of a hassle. -- Debbie W., Mount Airy, Md. REFRIGERATOR LINERS Dear Heloise: I bought some shelf liner (plastic) and cut it to fit my refrigerator shelves. This keeps my shelves clean, and it’s easier to clean the liner by taking it out of the fridge than to stand there in front of an open door. -- Lois J., Trenton, N.J. A HANDY HINT Dear Heloise: I wash my dishes by hand and wear gloves. As I am right-handed, my right glove wears out first. I save the left glove as follows: I put the glove on my left hand and then peel it off, making it a right glove. This saves time and money. -- Mary P., Buena Park, Calif.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 17-year-old girl who has been in a long-distance relationship for two years. We’re still in high school and actively involved in sports and extracurricular activities. During the fall months I cheer, and in the winter months he plays basketball. Our schedules only really allow for texting and FaceTiming rather than going out. Although our time is spent communicating on the phone, I feel we have a strong connection, and I am devoted to him. However, my mom is concerned “because I’m not dating and taking advantage of opportunities that could come with dating someone closer.” She criticizes him nonstop and thinks he’s making excuses and avoiding a commitment. She’d like to see me going out and having fun with someone like most girls my age do. I don’t think he’s making excuses, and I don’t feel as though I’m missing out on any opportunities. This disagreement is causing an issue between my mom and me. I feel that he’s The One, but Mom is finding it challenging to accept this. I would love to hear your advice. -- FAR, BUT CLOSE, IN MICHIGAN DEAR F. BUT C.: You may feel that this young man is “The One”, but your mother has a point. Please listen to her. Rather than sit home every night because you are devoted only to him, you should socialize and develop non-romantic relationships. It
