In the news State seeks more residential recovery homes ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska is seeking to set up as many as 10 residential facilities across the state to support people recovering from opioid abuse. The state is expecting to receive more than $2 million in federal money over two years to fund peersupported homes for people in outpatient treatment or long-term recovery from addiction, Alaska Public Media reported this week. The funding is expected to serve up to 100 people over the two-year period. The state Department of Health and Social Services is asking for bids, targeting Anchorage, Fairbanks North Star Borough, Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Kenai Peninsula Borough, and the southeast and southwest regions. “What these funds are aiming to do is to really further develop the recovery support services that are needed across the state,” said Katie Chapman, who works on opioid treatment in the state Division of Behavioral Health. The funding can’t be directed for new construction or significant renovations, so the state is looking to expand existing treatment resources or establish new recovery houses by paying operating costs. A small number of these types of facilities are already operating in the state, but Alaska is hoping to increase capacity, Chapman said. “These types of programs are generally peer-run,” Chapman said. “There’s an emphasis on recovery support activities, and so they’re doing things that involve them in the community and building connection.”

Trotting for a good cause By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
It’s been a big Thanksgiving week for Freedom House, which operates faith-based recovery homes in Soldotna. Freedom House opened a women’s recovery home in May 2017 and this week got a $250,000 anonymous donation to purchase the building for a men’s recovery home. Then a Turkey Trot at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex on Thursday that benefits Freedom House went from about 60 racers in the inaugural race last year to 154 participants. The response was so overwhelming the race ran out of registration forms. “It’s a beautiful day with beautiful people on Thanksgiving,” said Jennifer Waller, Freedom House founder and director, of the sunny, blue skies and hoarfrost hanging on the trees. “My heart overflows already and I haven’t even gotten to the turkey yet.”

Waller was heartened because, even with the building purchased, Freedom House still must come up with $200,000 for renovations of the men’s recovery home.
The organization raised $500,000 for renovation of the women’s home, so Waller believes the community will come through again. For instance, Freedom
House didn’t even organize the Turkey Trot. Sterling’s Kurt and Tammy Strausbaugh like organizing races for good causes. See TROT, page A3
Borough assembly introduces resolution backing Nikiski LNG terminus project By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Solidifying Nikiski’s bid for the highly anticipated Alaska Liquefied Natural Gasline Project, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly introduced a resolution that would support the project’s plant and marine terminal in Nikiski. In September, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and last December, the city of Valdez, both submitted motions to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission supporting their properties and potential sites for the $45 billion project. The 800-mile pipeline would bring natural gas from the North Slope to a liquefac- The industrial area of Nikiski is photographed in this undated file photo.

A resolution to declare a local economic disaster and request the governor to declare an economic disaster for the upper Cook Inlet fisheries region was introduced at Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting. The resolution comes after the city of Kenai passed the same resolution at the end of last month. Both Kenai and the borough’s resolutions ask the state to assist in a recovery plan, which could come in many different forms such as low-interest loans. The resolution said as of Sept. 1, the upper Cook Inlet commercial salmon harvest took approximately 1,293,945 fish, “which is the lowest harvest of commercial salmon in the upper Cook Inlet commercial salmon harvest since 1971, and approximately 61 percent less than the recent 10-year average of 3.4 million fish.” The low harvest did not cover the costs of operating and maintaining a commercial drift, set net, processing and marketing businesses in the borough, the resolution said. Speaking in support of the resolution, Tim Dillon, executive director for the Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District, said the commercial industry was a key unit to the peninsula’s economy. “Our commercial fishing industry is a key piece to all of our economic drivers here on the peninsula,” Dillon said. “I’ve worked really closely with our friends from the fishing industry and this administration to make sure we have all See FISH, page A3
‘Forever Christmas’ ushers Interior to rewrite in holiday season with dance management plan
for petroleum reserve
By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
When it comes to the Christmas season, it’s never too early to get in the holiday spirit. Next weekend, Forever Dance Alaska will help people get ready for that spirit with the three-day “Forever Christmas” Holiday Variety show. Forever Dance Alaska Director and studio owner Darcy Swanson said what makes the production attractive to audiences is the variety of styles, music and theatrical influences that the company uses to celebrate the holiday season. “It has everything from classical ballet to rocker style,” Swanson said. “It features our entire student body and staff, and they do all styles — ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary.” The show does not tell any particular story. Instead, it moves from one musical production to the next, often in rapid fire beat. Swanson, along with her husband Aaron, have turned the

studio into a blossoming show of artistry. “There isn’t much of a Christmas show on the Kenai,” she said. “There are a lot of school things, but no show like what we do, so it’s become a tradition for many families. They’re establishing it as the go-to event of the holiday sea-
son.” Forever Dance Alaska has attracted many dancers of all ages from around the central peninsula, from ages 3 to 18, and Swanson said the Christmas show will feature an astounding 276 dancers. Swanson said she hopes See DANCE, page A2
ANCHORAGE (AP) — The U.S. Department of Interior is seeking to boost oil and gas activity in northern Alaska by rolling back some leasing restrictions. Assistant Interior Secretary Joe Balash said the department will soon begin evaluating the 2013 management plan for the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, looking for areas where it can be revised, the Alaska Journal of Commerce reported Tuesday. The Bureau of Land Management is scheduled to begin the 45-day scoping period this week to seek input on what should be considered when drafting the environmental impact statement, which will direct the work. “We’ll let the information that comes in and the comments we get from our stakeholders and cooperators help guide our decisions but we’re pretty excited about this,” Balash said.
Since the last plan was written, advances have been made in drilling technology and the Nanushuk geologic formation has emerged, Balash said. The formation is the primary source for two discoveries that have the potential to produce more than 100,000 barrels per day. Rewriting the plan should take about a year, he said. ConocoPhillips’ Willow prospect, one of the discoveries, is in the eastern part of the reserve. Conservation groups have urged caution when ConocoPhillips submitted its plan for the prospect, saying the nearby Teshekpuk Lake area is important waterfowl and caribou habitat and subsistence harvest areas. “Geologists believe that the area is extremely prospective. Now, that said, the lake is also home to a tremendous collection of waterfowl that migrate through there,” Balash said.

Anchorage decides against flower program cuts ANCHORAGE (AP) — Anchorage officials abandoned proposed budget cuts to the city flower and horticulture program after residents showed strong opposition to the idea. Assemblyman John Weddleton had suggested cutting the entire $1.7 million horticultural
budget to shift that money toward efforts to clear out illegal homeless camps and move people into emergency shelters, the Anchorage Daily News reported . Weddleton changed course Tuesday, saying more than 400 emails had been sent since last week in support of downtown

that translates into a successful Christmas show. The production is preceded by 12 weeks of practice. The current performers have been rehearsing since late August, preparing for the annual holiday production that caps a calendar year of hard work. Forever Dance Alaska traditionally puts on three shows a year, starting with the “Aurora Show” in late March, which features dancers from the Aurora Company — Forever Dance Alaska’s pre-professional program that requires auditions for class placement. The year also typically includes a spring recital at the end of May. Swanson said the holiday show captures the spirit of the Christmas season, and the set creates a perfect backdrop for the production with eight full-size Christmas trees, massive wreaths, snowfall on stage and seamless transitions between musical numbers, which range from hip-hop pieces to a “really beautiful dance” showcasing the Christian nativity scene. Swanson said the show features songs of a religious as well as a secular nature. “It’s magical,” she said. “People that have come but never seen it, they say this is just as good if not better (than other shows). They bring the whole family.” “Forever Christmas” Holiday Variety show will take place at 6 p.m. on Nov. 29 and 7 p.m. on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, at the Renee C. Henderson Auditorium at Kenai Central High School. Tickets are $6.

In support of the resolution, Tim Dillon, executive director of the Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District, said the resolution was timely.
flowers and public greenhouses. “People made really clear, you don’t want to cut everything that makes people happy about Anchorage,” Weddleton said. “And the flowers are awesome — I’m good with that.” Opponents of the cuts had appeared at the Assembly meet-
ing, clutching roses and carnations. Pots of poinsettias and lilies were placed near the Assembly table. Sandy Potvin, the city’s horticulture supervisor, said the proposed action would destroy the city’s decades-old public greenhouses.
“When you have a change of administration and a variety of other individuals saying ‘pick me, pick me,’ we have to make sure that people know that we want it here,” Dillon said. “We’re going to support it here. We’re currently working on a workforce plan.” During the mayor’s report, Chief of Staff John Quick said he recently visited Washington DC for a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission meeting, where he said representatives from Valdez and the Mat-Su
Borough were also in attendance. “I think it was very important we were there,” Quick said. “Every indication I saw during this meeting was that they were using language that suggests the terminus is going to land in Nikiski. There was never any question of a separate location. Every answer FERC gave was as if the terminus will land in Nikiski.” The assembly will vote on the resolution at their next meeting Dec. 4.

Kurt said there also will be a Shamrock Shuffle at the sports complex on St. Patrick’s Day to help the Soldotna Whalers Freestyle Wrestling Club raise funds to go to Las Vegas. While Waller is thrilled with the Thanksgiving bonanza, she also received a reminder this week there is little time to waste. A man called asking for an application and Waller said she couldn’t accept any yet. “We told him to keep checking every few weeks,� she said. “There is a need there.� Waller said the paperwork to acquire the men’s home should be signed Dec. 14.

Around the country, whether it’s been assisting with farmers, assisting with agriculture, this is our form of agriculture up here, to some extent. We need to make sure that we put our best foot forward.� Clam Gulch resident David Martin spoke in support of the

There’s a lot of jobs in this industry. It’s unfortunate that certain things out of the fisherman’s control have gotten us in this current economic disaster. The industry needs a helping hand. We manage our fisheries right. This is a sustainable industry that will be around for generations to come.� Ray DeBardelaben, presi-
dent of the Kenai River Professional Guide Association, wanted to see clarification on who would benefit from a potential recovery plan. “It seems a little vague to me,� he said. “It wasn’t just commercial fisheries that were affected by this. It was sports fishing, lodging businesses, the whole Kenai Peninsula from Sterling to Homer and all the little businesses in between that were affected by this.� The resolution was introduced at Tuesday’s meeting and will be considered at the next meeting, Dec. 4.
later. She said the great thing is there is a mortgage on the women’s home, but the men’s home will be completely paid off thanks to the donor. The Turkey Trot included 1.5- and 3-mile races. Women-first also was the theme of the 3-mile race. Julianne Dickerson, 30, of Anchorage ran 16 minutes, 53 seconds, to top Ken Youngberg, 49, of Soldotna by a second. Dickerson, a 2006 graduate of Wings Christian Academy, was born and raised in Kenai. She and her husband, Joseph Dickerson, were down visiting family for the holiday. Julianne was initially bummed she’d miss the Turkey Trot in Anchorage, but then her sister, Naomi Daigle, discovered the Turkey Trot in Soldotna. Daigle also ran the race — her first run since giving birth on Sept. 11. In an interview after the race, Julianne was told her name sounded familiar. She merely allowed that she had been doing some trail and mountain runs in the last few years. After the interview, Joseph
fessed up. Julianne had quite the Seward circuit this summer — finishing ninth in the Mount Marathon Race on July 4, running 58:45, then winning the women’s Lost Lake Run in late August. “She’s quiet about it,� Joseph said. Julianne certainly looked the part in defeating Youngberg. She caught him at the halfway point, opened up a slight gap, then outsprinted him at the finish. “I thought he might have a good kick, so when I hit that corner, I took off,� she said. Youngberg said Dickerson’s impressive accomplishments as a runner were one of a number of things that make him feel better about the loss.
“She’s beat me, but she’s 19 years younger than I am and she’s like half my weight,� Youngberg joked after the race. Youngberg was at the race with daughters Angelica and Abigail, 5 and 12, and wife, Jennifer. His family and his work as a licensed clinical social worker keep him so busy that nearly all of his runs come indoors on a treadmill. “Considering I run yearround on a treadmill indoors, it was pretty chilly,� Youngberg said. The Strausbaughs have already committed to doing another Turkey Trot for Freedom House next year. Complete results will be in Sports section when they become available.

What Others Say
Murder without consequence leads world down a dark path President Trump on Tuesday confirmed what his administration has been signaling all
along: It will stand behind Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman even if he ordered the brutal murder and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In a crude statement punctuated with exclamation points, Mr. Trump sidestepped a CIA finding that the crown prince was behind the killing; casually slandered Mr. Khashoggi, who was one of the Arab world’s most distinguished journalists; and repeated gross falsehoods and exaggerations about the benefits of the U.S. alliance with the kingdom. Mr. Trump has betrayed American values in service to what already was a bad bet on the 33-year-old prince. As with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interference in the 2016 election, Mr. Trump is justifying his affinity for a brutal and reckless leader by disregarding the findings of the U.S. intelligence community. The Post reported Friday that the CIA has concluded with “high confidence” — a rating it does not apply lightly — that Mohammed bin Salman ordered the murder of Mr. Khashoggi, who while living in self-imposed exile in Virginia, wrote columns for The Post that were moderately critical of the crown prince. Mr. Trump’s response is to grudgingly acknowledge that “it could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event” before adding “maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!” He declares the truth unknowable and thus irrelevant: “We may never know all of the facts surrounding the murder.” In fact, the truth about Mr. Khashoggi’s death is not only knowable but largely known. Audio recordings in the CIA’s possession record his actual killing as well as phone calls from the hit team to Mohammed bin Salman’s close aides. Five members of the team have been identified as probable members of the crown prince’s personal security team. While discounting these facts, Mr. Trump bases his continued backing for the regime on false claims, including his thoroughly debunked boast that Saudi Arabia will “spend and invest $450 billion” in the United States. He says the kingdom has “been very responsive to my requests to keeping oil prices at reasonable levels,” though Riyadh is reportedly preparing to cut production to raise prices. Worst of all, Mr. Trump libels Mr. Khashoggi, saying that “representatives of Saudi Arabia” had called him an “enemy of the state” and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. The crown prince did make those allegations in a phone call to the White House — but the regime itself was so embarrassed when The Post reported on the call that it denied making them. Mr. Khashoggi’s family has confirmed that he was not a member of the Brotherhood. Mr. Trump concluded his statement by inviting Congress “to go in a different direction.” As in the Russia case, it must do so. Bipartisan legislation mandating sanctions for all those implicated in Mr. Khashoggi’s death is pending in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) last week gave us a statement indicating he wanted to know “what more would be done” by the administration before Congress responded. Now he knows. If Mohammed bin Salman is to be held accountable, as Mr. Corker said he must, the committee must act. The alternative is a world where dictators know they can murder their critics and suffer no consequences.
The paradox of Trump’s words
You probably never thought of this because it’s so dopey, but that’s never stopped me. So let’s take a moment to ponder that the first two letters of the word “president” are “PR.” Dopey, but important, particularly with this president, who is the master of PR. Donald Trump has a talent for self-promotion that’s taken his facade to the highest level. He is a genius when it comes to seizing the center of attention, and particularly brilliant at manipulating the people around him — friend and foe alike. Definitely in the foe department is Nancy Pelosi. She’s the long experienced and crafty leader of the House Democrats. She’s totally capable of flummoxing Republicans, so they’ve turned her into their major villain. That has rubbed off on some of the House Democrats, mainly the more ambitious young Turks who have roared into the majority, due in great measure to the shrewd campaign engineered by, wait for it, Nancy Pelosi. She would expect, in any other environment, to be a natural choice to rise again to speaker of the House, where she served effectively the last time her party was in charge. “Ingrate,” however, is synonymous with “politician,” and some of the newbies are showing quite an aptitude for that. The result is she’s involved in an intense battle to drown the sharks circling around her in the murky waters of the Washington swamp.
has agreed to make Jim Acosta a big star. Why else would the president of the United States take such a drastic action as to order Acosta’s hard pass pulled, knowing full well it would end up in court and take Acosta’s name to stratospheric heights? Surely he knew he’d lose a lawsuit, even though he had nominated the judge. In fact, if one were really conspiratorial one could believe that the judge was in on it. To continue the charade, the White House announced that it would take Acosta’s pass after the judge’s temporary ruling to return it expires in two weeks. But then they dropped the whole thing, perhaps because Trump decided it was all getting boring. Besides, he also might have to pay attention to a possible secret deal with Congressman Adam Schiff, the Democrat who is soon to take over the House Intelligence Committee. Schiff has been a relentless critic, and Trump has tweeted many insults aimed at “Liddle Adam Schiff.” However, to keep up interest, as in “how low can he go” interest, he’s now referring to Schiff — and you might want to shield the kiddies’ eyes — as “Little Adam Schitt.” Yes, you read that right. It’s hard to tell if Trump is in cahoots with Congressman Sch-tt. But it’s easy to conclude that all his PR bluster is a coverup, because it’s Donald Trump who is really the little man, a scared little man.

Senate clash looming over judicial vacancy By KEVIN FREKING Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are working to soon fill the nation’s longest judicial vacancy with a North Carolina lawyer whose nomination has raised objections from black lawmakers and civil rights groups concerned about his work defending state laws found to have discriminated against African-Americans. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has helped push 84 of President Donald Trump’s nominees over the finish line and is itching for more. With just a few more weeks to go before Congress adjourns for the year, he has teed up a vote on the nomination of Thomas Farr, 64, to serve as a district court judge in North Carolina. The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Farr’s confirmation with a partyline vote back in January, meaning McConnell has waited about 10 months and until after the midterm elections to hold a vote on the floor. Senators tend to save their biggest fights — The Washington Post, Nov. 20 in the judicial arena for Supreme Court and appeals court nominees, but Farr’s nomination has proved an exception. “It’s hard to believe President Trump nominated him, and it’s even harder to E-mail: believe the Senate Republicans are connews@peninsulaclarion.com sidering it again,” said Senate Democratic The Peninsula Clarion welcomes letters and attempts to leader Chuck Schumer of New York in one publish all those received, subject to a few guidelines: of about 20 tweets he has sent out in recent Write: Fax: days concerning Farr.

Letters to the Editor:
Donald Trump is doing what he can to help do her in. She would be a formidable enemy as House speaker. And yes, “enemy” is the appropriate word these days. So how is The Donald tryBob Franken ing to discredit The Nancy? With compliments, of course. He knows full well that any smooch from him is a kiss of death for her. That explains all the flattering tweets about her. Typical was this bit of sarcasm: “In all fairness, Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House by the Democrats. If they give her a hard time, perhaps we will add some Republican votes.” Her response to his offer of help from the GOP? “Oh, please, no, never, never.” That was her public reaction. The private one was probably just two words. She knows full well that Trump’s approach to partisan gaps is to construct a troll bridge. That silly little gamesmanship could also explain the nonstop trash-talking between the Trumpster and CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta. In my opinion, it’s a fake fracas. By all appearances, the two of them have worked a deal where Donald Trump
“I think absolutely destroying a good man’s reputation is inappropriate,” Tillis said before the committee advanced Farr’s nomination. In introducing Farr last year, Burr said the judiciary needs good people and he “fills every piece of the word good.” But Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., described Farr as “probably the worst of the litter” when it comes to Trump’s judicial nominees. “Could this administration have picked an individual who is more hostile to the rights of minorities than this man? It is hard to imagine,” Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said in the same committee hearing. GOP leaders in charge of the North Carolina Legislature hired Farr and others at his firm to defend congressional and legislative boundaries that the Legislature approved in 2011. A federal court eventually struck some boundaries down as racial gerrymanders and the Supreme Court affirmed that decision. Farr also helped defend a 2013 law that required photo identification to vote, reduced the number of early voting days and eliminated same-day registration during that period. North Carolina Republicans said that requiring voter ID would increase the integrity of elections. But the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state provided no evidence of the kind of in-person voter fraud the ID mandate would address. The Richmond, Virginia-based court said the law targeted black voters “with almost surgical precision.” Farr told lawmakers that, as an advocate, he vehemently disagreed with the argument that the North Carolina Legislature sought to curtail the voting rights of people of color or any other voter. But, said, “I am obligated to follow the decision by the 4th Circuit and pledge that I will do so.” The history of the particular judicial
opening Farr would fill has also contributed to the acrimony. President Barack Obama nominated two African-American women to serve on the court, but neither was granted a hearing and their nominations stalled. If confirmed, they would have been the first blacks to serve in that particular district, which is about 27 percent black. Farr also served as a lawyer for the reelection campaign of Republican Sen. Jesse Helms in 1990. The Justice Department alleged that about 120,000 postcards sent overwhelmingly to black voters before that election was intended to intimidate them from voting. Farr said he was not consulted about the postcards and did not have any role in drafting or sending them. He said that after he had been asked to review the card, “I was appalled to read the incorrect language printed on the card and to then discover it had been sent to African Americans.” The explanation has failed to win over the NAACP. “The courts are supposed to be where we can find and seek justice. But Farr’s lifetime crusade is to disenfranchise African Americans and deprive them of their rights,” said Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP’s Washington bureau. “He belongs nowhere near a bench of justice.” Democratic lawmakers called on the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, to schedule Farr for another round of testimony about his role in the Helms’ campaign, but Grassley declined. With a 51-49 majority, Republicans will have little margin for error in confirming Farr. Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., has already pledged to oppose all judicial nominees until he gets a vote on legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller.

Relatives, strangers offer hot Mattis says he has extra authority to use meal, comfort to fire evacuees military on border By KATHLEEN RONAYNE Associated Press
CHICO, Calif. — Hannah Crenshaw hosts a Thanksgiving dinner each year, cooking turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes — her favorite — for up to 15 guests at her home in Magalia. That’s not an option this year. Her house burned down in the wildfire that tore through the town of Paradise and surrounding communities, killing at least 83 people and destroying more than 13,000 homes. Instead, the 26-year-old Crenshaw will be spending Thanksgiving with her husband’s family in nearby Durham. She’s trying to see the best in the heartbreaking situation. “It doesn’t really feel like Thanksgiving,” she said. “But Thanksgiving’s my favorite holiday. I guess I have a lot to be thankful for this year with everything going on.” The Camp Fire has displaced tens of thousands of people, with hundreds still unaccounted for. The blaze was 90 percent contained Thursday, two weeks after it began. It won’t be a normal Thanksgiving for any of those families, but businesses and hundreds of volunteers have stepped up to ensure turkey, potatoes and pie are available as a small slice of comfort for anyone who wants a plate.
By ROBERT BURNS AP Military Writer
Michael Reining, left, and Chelsea Meddings, right, chop mint in preparation for a community Thanksgiving meal for survivors of the deadly Camp Fire in Northern California, on the campus of California State University, in Chico, Calif., Wednesday.
Washington-based nonprofit World Central Kitchen is cooking 15,000 Thanksgiving meals, teaming up with Chicobased Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., the local university and the town of Paradise to serve them Thursday. Volunteers prepared food and set up massive tables Wednesday. “It will be a respite from the frantic activity of trying to put our lives back together and our town back together,” Paradise
Mayor Jody Jones said. Scores of volunteers also are opening their houses to strangers to provide a more intimate Thanksgiving. Rachael Anderson is hosting a displaced mom and daughter at her home in Redding, about an hour and a half from Paradise. Anderson knows what it’s like to live in a community devastated by flames — a massive wildfire swept through Redding last summer.
She didn’t lose her home, and she now wants to share it with others in need. She’ll be joined by Athenia Dunham and her 15-year-old daughter, Natalie. “They’ve lost their home, their traditions, whatever it is that they do. I just want to give them a little piece of home,” Anderson said. “That’s what Thanksgiving’s about; it’s not just about your blood family — it’s about giving thanks and helping each other.”
IAEA calls on North Korea to re-admit nuclear inspectors VIENNA (AP) — The head of the U.N.’s atomic watchdog on Thursday called on North Korea to allow inspectors back into the country to monitor its nuclear program. Speaking at a board meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Director General Yukiya Amano noted that Pyongyang had in September talked about denuclearization measures including the “permanent dismantlement of the nuclear facilities in Yongbyon” — a reactor where it produces plutonium. Amano said there has been activity observed at Yongbyon, but “without access the agency cannot confirm the nature and purpose of these activities.” At a news conference later
Thursday, he said he couldn’t elaborate on when exactly the activity was observed. IAEA inspectors were expelled from North Korea in 2009 but Amano said the agency continues to prepare for their possible re-admittance. “The agency continues to enhance its readiness to play an essential role in verifying (North Korea’s) nuclear program if a political agreement is reached among countries concerned,” he said. “I again call upon (North Korea) to comply fully with its obligations under relevant resolutions of the U.N. Security Council and of the IAEA board, to cooperate promptly with the agency and to resolve all outstanding issues.” On the other hand, Amano
told board members that Iran continues to abide by the deal reached in 2015 with major world powers that aimed at preventing Tehran from building atomic weapons in exchange for economic incentives. He reiterated the agency’s findings in a report distributed to member states earlier this month that “Iran is implementing its nuclear-related commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.” The issue has grown more complicated since the U.S. withdrew unilaterally in May from the deal and then re-imposed sanctions. Iran’s economy has been struggling ever since and its currency has plummeted in value. The other signatories to
the deal — Germany, Britain, France, Russia and China — are continuing to try to make it work. Amano stressed that “it is essential that Iran continues to fully implement” its commitments. In its full report, the IAEA said its inspectors continue to have access to all sites in Iran that it needs to visit and that inspectors confirmed Iran has kept within limits of heavy water and low-enriched uranium stockpiles. “The agency continues to verify the non-diversion of nuclear material declared by Iran under its safeguards agreement,” Amano said. “Evaluations regarding the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran continue.”
Man charged in killing, sexual assaults at Catholic Supply store By JIM SALTER Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — A suburban St. Louis man has been charged with killing one woman and sexually assaulting two others after herding them at gunpoint into the back room of a religious supplies shop. The arrest of 53-year-old Thomas Bruce ended a two-day manhunt that followed the brazen Monday afternoon attack at a Catholic Supply store in the St. Louis suburb of Ballwin. The attack frightened the region and led some schools, churches and businesses to close.
Bruce, of Imperial, was charged Wednesday with 17 counts, including first-degree murder, sodomy and attempted sodomy, kidnapping and other crimes. He is jailed without bond. It wasn’t yet clear if he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf. At a news conference announcing the arrest, St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch called the crime “heartbreaking,” a sentiment that was echoed by the county’s police chief, Jon Belmar. “It shocked the senses,” a somber Belmar said. Authorities allege that Bruce
entered the store and said he was shopping, then left briefly before returning with a handgun. He forced the three women into the back room, told them to strip, exposed himself and ordered them to “perform deviant sexual acts on him,” detectives wrote in the criminal complaint. Two of the women complied but the third, 53-year-old Jamie Schmidt of nearby House Springs, refused, so he shot her in the head, they wrote. The attacker ordered the other women to continue performing the sexual acts on him, and he later fled, apparently able to blend in
along the busy street in broad daylight. McCulloch said there was no indication the store was targeted because of its religious affiliation. “It seems to me a guy like this saw an opportunity — three women in the store alone,” McCulloch said. A Missouri pastor said Bruce used to work as a pastor in southeast Missouri. Pastor David Fitzgerald at Calvary Chapel in Maryland Heights told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Bruce was a pastor at Calvary Chapel of Cape Girardeau from about 2003 into 2007.
Car strikes crowd at China school, killing 5 BEIJING (AP) — A car plowed into a crowd of children outside a primary school in northeastern China on Thursday, killing five people and injuring 18, a local government spokesman said. The driver was taken into custody after the crash around noon in the coastal city of Huludao in Liaoning province, said
the spokesman for Jianchang county in the city’s suburbs, who declined to give his name as is standard with Chinese bureaucrats. He described the crash as “a major traffic accident” and said the cause was under investigation. State broadcaster CCTV reported all five dead and all but
two of the injured were children. Security camera footage showed a line of children crossing the street in front of their school when a car approaches, which then changes lanes and swerves into the crowd of children. It wasn’t clear if the crash was a deliberate attack or whether the driver was swerving to avoid obstacles in front of him.
Wang Mingkuan, a cook at a nearby noodle restaurant, said he was making meals when the crash occurred. “I ran out and saw about a dozen children lying on the ground, some of them bleeding, all about 7 or 8 years old. Two or three showed no signs of life,” Wang told The Associated Press by telephone.
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Wednesday the White House has given him explicit authority to use military troops to protect Customs and Border Protection personnel, with lethal force if necessary, at the southwest border. This could, under certain circumstances, mean directing troops to temporarily detain migrants in the event of disorder or violence against border patrol agents. “This is minutes — not even hours” of potential detention, Mattis said, suggesting that he was not planning to use the military to operate migrant detention camps. “We’ll keep you posted on any new missions and any new numbers of troops as those decisions are made,” he said. The mission thus far for the approximately 5,800 activeduty troops in the border area has been mainly to lay barbed wire and other barriers along the border and to transport border patrol personnel. Mattis has stressed the need to keep the military away from civilian law enforcement roles such as arrests, which are forbidden under the Posse Comitatus Act. The law prohibits the federal government from using the armed forces in a domestic police role, except in cases and
under circumstances specifically authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The basis for the expanded legal authorities for Mattis is a belief by the Trump administration that the caravans of Central American migrants, whose numbers include many families with children, moving toward the U.S. border pose a potential security threat to the border patrol. On Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen visited a San Diego Pacific Coast beach to see up close newly installed razor wire wrapped around a towering border wall that cuts across the sand. She said there were as many as 500 criminals and gang member in the groups heading northward, though she refused to answer questions about how they were identified or what crimes they had committed. Mattis emphasized that he would use his expanded authorities only in response to a specific, detailed request from Nielsen, and that none has yet been made. “I now have the authority to do more. Now we’ll see what she asks me for,” he said. Mattis was adamant that the military will remain within its legal limits. “We are not doing law enforcement,” he told reporters at the Pentagon. “We do not have arrest authority.”
Around the Nation 19-year-old Yorkshire Terrier retires from ‘The Nutcracker’ PROVIDENCE, R.I. — After more than 125 performances in “The Nutcracker” in Rhode Island, a 19-year-old Yorkshire terrier named Archie is leaving the stage. Festival Ballet Providence announced this week that its beloved “Nutcracker” dog is retiring. The ballet says Archie achieved stardom in his annual romp across the Providence Performing Arts Center stage and is ready for the next chapter. Misha Djuric (JUHR’-itch), the ballet’s artistic director and Archie’s owner, says Archie is “settling down to a life of luxury and long naps on pillows.” The ballet is holding auditions for the next “Nutcracker” dog. Auditions will take place at the Festival Ballet Providence studios on Hope Street in Providence on Dec. 2. The ballet says it’s looking for a pup with an elegant prance, regal coat of fur and charming smile.
Obama’s book sells 1.4 million copies in a week NEW YORK — Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” has become a massive hit. Crown Publishing told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the former first lady’s memoir has sold more than 1.4 million copies in print and digital formats in the U.S. and Canada in the seven days since it was released Nov. 13. Based on demand from retailers across all channels, the publisher has printed 3 million hardcover copies in North America. On its first day, the book sold more than 725,000 copies, making it one of the year’s biggest debuts. Crown also said that “Becoming” is currently the No. 1 adult nonfiction title in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Holland, Spain, Denmark and Finland. In Germany, some 200,000 copies have been sold, prompting a second printing of 100,000 copies. In the United Kingdom, “Becoming” is published by Viking and it has had five press runs with a total of 575,000 copies in print. In Holland, the Dutch-language edition is the best-selling book in the Netherlands, with the English-language edition ranked second. “Becoming” is well exceeding the pace of previous memoirs by first ladies. In 2003, Hillary Clinton’s “Living History” had first week sales of around 600,000 copies. Reviews of the book, which traces Obama’s journey from Chicago’s South Side to the White House, have been positive, with The Washington Post praising its “impressive balance in telling the truth of her challenges while repeatedly acknowledging her lucky life.”
Woman pleads guilty to embezzling Girl Scout cookie profits GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — A Colorado woman has pleaded guilty to charges of embezzling Girl Scout cookie funds from her daughter’s troop. The Daily Sentinel reported Wednesday that 32-year-old Jennifer L. Hooten of Clifton pleaded guilty to felony theft on Sept. 13 and was ordered to pay $1,400 in restitution as part of a deferred judgment. The judgment means her case will be dismissed if she meets court-ordered conditions in the next two years. Hooten was arrested after other scout leaders discovered a bank account that should have had about $2,400 in cookie profits was overdrawn. An arrest warrant affidavit says Hooten told officers she had planned to return the money before the theft was discovered. The affidavit said she sent other troop leaders a check for $1,000 after police interviewed her. — Associated Press

After synagogue shooting, fresh thoughts on giving thanks By RAMESH SANTANAM Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — David Feldstein knew seven of the 11 people killed in the synagogue. For Augie Siriano, they all were friends. Rabbi Jeffrey Myers was leading Shabbat services when the gunshots rang out. Barely three weeks after the Tree of Life massacre — believed to be the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history — they and their fellow Pittsburghers are preparing to mark a holiday built around gratitude. But in the neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, they aren’t shying away from celebrating Thanksgiving. They’re welcoming it. “It’s really a perfect time that Thanksgiving is falling right now,” Myers says. The holiday, he says, is about family — and spending time with loved ones is needed at a time like this. And in the concentric circles of grief and healing around him — Tree of Life, Squirrel Hill and the city of Pittsburgh itself — the sentiment is similar.

of Classic Lines, a bookstore about a half-mile from the synagogue. He will celebrate Thanksgiving with about 20 family and friends, and he expects it to be “a very family- and communitycentered Thanksgiving, more so than in the past few years.” How do you summon thankfulness in a family, in a community, when the wounds are so fresh and the grief so hard to bear? When what you’ve lost is so profound, how do you sit down around a holiday spread and enjoy what you have? To talk to people in Squirrel Hill this week — those directly affiliated with Tree of Life and those who compose the community around it — is to begin to understand the different forms that gratitude can take. Siriano, Tree of Life’s custodian since 1993, was in the synagogue restroom when he heard gunshots Oct. 27. He rushed out to see one of the worshippers, someone he had shared tea with 10 minutes earlier, lying dead. On Thursday, he will be with family. He says he has much to be thankful for, including a grandson born Satur-
day. “There has to be a place in your heart for the sadness and the joy,” says Rabbi Chuck Diamond, Tree of Life’s former rabbi who led a “healing” service outside the synagogue a week after the shooting. “We recognize and acknowledge what we have lost, but, at the same time, looking around the table, we recognize what we have,” Diamond says. “People should observe Thanksgiving and appreciate the comfort and joy of the family around them.” Feldstein understands the difficulty in celebrating the holiday less than a month after tragedy visited the neighborhood where he has owned a bagel shop for the past 28 years. Seven of the slain worshippers were Bagel Factory regulars, as were two of the Pittsburgh police officers injured in the shooting. “You feel a bit guilty,” Feldstein says. “It’s a difficult feeling. But you still have to make your kids appreciate what they have so when they have children, you want them to feel that appreciation. I love my family. To me, that’s the best time.”

What are men to rocks and mountains?
I
’ve met a lot of addicts since moving to Alaska. Not the kind you think, though. My friends are constantly searching for their next fix in the curve of a worn hiking trail, in the cresting of a new mountain peak. Once the paths become familiar and the switchbacks routine, once their neurons begin to fire with less intensity at the moment of summit, my friends go in search of their next high. Maybe it’s a climb they wouldn’t have dared attempt during their first year living here, or maybe it’s trying the trail under harsher conditions. Whatever it is, they keep going back. They are never at rest for long. I watch them, and listen to their stories. To hear my friends talk of a day hike up Resurrection Pass or Slaughter Ridge in Cooper Landing is to hear a prophet just awoken from a vision, to hear a born-again Christian freshly dipped in the baptismal lake. I often wonder just what it is about the human condition that fuels this drive, this obsession with concurring piles of rock and ice. It’s a subject philosophers much wiser than I have opined on ad nauseam, so I won’t bother to voice many of my suspicions here. I only know that perspective must have a lot to do with it. When people first starting climbing things, they must have seemed the biggest things in the universe. The earliest conquerors of Mt. Everest and our Denali must have felt like gods in human casings after their first ascents. What interests me is that the drive to climb things has barely, if at all, diminished over the millennia, even though we have the technology and the awareness to know better. We know exactly how tall the mountains are, what they’re made of and how they came to be. They are no longer mysteries to us, yet we continue to try to understand them on a deeper level. In the heat of the upward battle, a mountain can seem to stretch on forever — each rock staircase is endless, each turn of a switchback leads to more of the same. Every glance toward the top reveals not how far one has come, but how far one has yet to go. The task seems enormous, foolhardy even. I often hear people say they climb because being in the presence of a mountain reminds them of their own place in the world — of just how insignificant they are in the larger picture. Yet from another perspective — from the air, for example, it is the mountain that seems commonplace, See OFFICE, page A9

Saints stay red hot By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer
NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees threw four touchdown passes to inexperienced receivers and the New Orleans Saints won their 10th straight game Thursday night with a 3117 victory over Atlanta that eliminated the Falcons from contention in the NFC South. Tommylee Lewis and Austin Carr each caught their second career touchdown pass, and rookie tight end Dan Arnold grabbed his first, as did rookie receiver Keith Kirkwood. All four entered the NFL as undrafted free agents within the past three years and had combined for zero touchdowns this season before Carr caught the first of his career last Sunday. “It says a lot about them. It says a lot about taking advantage of the opportunity, and stepping up when we need it,” Brees said of his latest touchdown targets. “It’s fun to watch them grow and gain confidence. We’re building chemistry, which typically takes time, right? But they’ve been thrust into this role.” Meanwhile, the Falcons (4-7) lost three fumbles inside the Saints 20 — something no team facing streaking New Orleans (10-1) can afford this season. “The defense played tremendous today
against a really explosive offense,” Brees said. “They got four turnovers. That’s a huge stat in the game.” Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was stripped by safety Marcus Williams on a third-and-2 from the Saints 3 and Williams recovered to end Atlanta’s opening drive. Julio Jones was stripped by linebacker Alex Anzalone after a catch on the New Orleans 17, and safety Vonn Bell recovered in the final minute of the second quarter to preserve a 17-3 lead going into halftime. “Any time you have a turnover when they’re in a threatening position — just do the numbers, do the math,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. New Orleans’ defense, which had a season-high six sacks, continued to come up with big plays in the second half. Anzalone broke up a fourth-down pass in the third quarter and linebacker A.J. Klein intercepted a pass tipped by defensive tackle Tyeler Davison in the fourth. The interception gave the Saints possession on the Atlanta 22, setting up Kirkwood’s diving 4-yard TD catch. Just for good measure, Marshon Lattimore stripped Calvin Ridley on the Saints 1 after a Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) hugs tight end Dan Arnold 29-yard completion that looked as though it (85) after the two connected on a touchdown reception in the would end with a touchdown with about four second half of an NFL football game against the Atlanta FalSee SAINTS, page A8 cons in New Orleans on Thursday.

Bears, Dogs renew rivalry By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
Walker has been producing this season with six goals and three assists in 20 games. When Petrich got Walker before the season, he wanted somebody to at least replace David Kaplan, who had eight goals and seven assists in 58 games last season before aging out. While Walker has shown scoring ability, Petrich is most impressed with Walker’s vision. “Goal scoring is not his knack, vision is his niche,” Petrich said. “He’s going to contribute the rest of the season. We’re really happy with him.” Walker grew up in Mason, Michigan. While hockey is obviously popular in
Kenai River Brown Bears head coach Josh Petrich and Fairbanks Ice Dogs head coach Trevor Stewart both are from Elk River, Minnesota, and are good friends. “I actually talked to him for 25 minutes tonight,” Petrich said Sunday. Petrich also is in constant contact with Rob Proffitt, the Ice Dogs general manager, due to all of the logistics it takes to bring North American Hockey League teams up to Alaska. Those relationships will be put on pause today and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 5 p.m. when the Ice Dogs come to the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex to renew their rivalry with the Brown Bears. “I’m good friends with their entire staff before and after that 60 minutes,” Petrich said. “But for those 60 minutes, we hate them. It’s all in. If you don’t feel that way, you don’t belong in a Brown Bears jersey.” The Ice Dogs have dominated the rivalry. Fairbanks owns a 42-123-4-4 advantage all-time since the Bears entered the league for the 2007-08 season. Fairbanks has won all five

Walker fits in fast with Bears Forward tries to do little things that result in Division I scholarship By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
Before trading for Andy Walker prior to this season, Kenai River Brown Bears head coach Josh Petrich looked at the forward entering his last year of junior eligibility and thought, at worst, Walker is a third-line center. “I know it sounds so negative, but I look at a kid’s worst-case scenario,” Petrich said. “He’s smart, skates well and is undersized. That’s not a problem if we give him decent matchups.” Now all Walker needs is a Division I coach to think the same thing. The 5-foot-9, 140-pound forward is
typical of a number of players chasing Division I commitments in their last year in the North American Hockey League, the second-best junior league in the United States. “I’m going to have to do all the little things right because there’s a lot of players that are almost identical in the way they play the game,” Walker said. “It’s the small things that matter, like body language and being a leader on the ice.” Petrich agreed there are a lot of players in a situation similar to Walker. “He can be anywhere from a late D I commit to a very good D III player,” Petrich said. “It’s all going to depend on results. He’s got to produce.”
Species-packing into Biosphere 2
I
n 1991, Biosphere 2 was launched in Oracle, Arizona. It is a 3-acre structure built to enclose seven biomes or habitats: rain forest, coral reef, mangrove wetlands, savanna grassland, fog desert, an agricultural system, and living space for eight humans who called themselves biospherians. It remains the largest closed system ever created. Biosphere 2 was originally designed to discover how closed ecological systems could maintain human life in outer space. The first attempt to live for two years within these hopefully self-sustaining systems went awry when food and oxygen became scarce. The second attempt was aborted after a few months by a management dispute. Earth, too, has experienced changes in atmospheric composition and climate in its past. Most shifts have been slow enough to allow plants and aniDr. Tony Burgess, now retired in Homer, designed the desert mals time to adapt and evolve and savanna biomes in Biosphere 2. (Photo by John Morton/ as they generally became more taxonomically diverse. But five Kenai National Wildlife Refuge)
R efuge N otebook T ony B urgess times in the past 450 million years, more than 75 percent of known species disappeared from the fossil record when climates changed too quickly. Many scientists agree we are sliding into the sixth mass extinction, driven by human activities such as logging, farming, overharvesting and polluting, but also by a climate rapidly warming in response to greenhouse gas emissions. The designers of Biosphere 2 did not envision their grand experiment might have more relevance to our warming Earth than to colonizing space. I was an ecological designer of the Biosphere 2 desert and savanna biomes, and later helped manage them. Now I live in Homer. The biomes inside Bio-
sphere 2 were to evolve within nearly total material closure for 100 years, perhaps with occasional modifications, and humans would inhabit almost continuously as involved observers, rotating crews every two years. A century is a long time for humans. However, it’s only enough time to grow a young forest or form a weakly developed soil. Why did we design so many biomes into Biosphere 2? More opportunities to learn. All we knew for certain was that the only known biosphere, Earth, has many biomes which interact in creating air and water chemistries that foster life. Mostly powered by sunlight, our planetary biosphere consumes incoming energy to create complex, evolving, carbon-based life, diversifying in interacting ecosystems that continuously recycle essential nutrients. We didn’t know which biomes would be best, and there were few clues. What became clear was that an agricultural biome alone would not be ad-
equate — current agricultural technology causes rapid fluxes of carbon dioxide that destabilizes atmospheric chemistry. For example, every time the soil was tilled, a large burst of carbon dioxide was released into the air. The question that challenged us was how to create a biosphere that evolved as quickly as possible, while sustaining as much diversity as possible. Fortunately, a theory of island biogeography offered hints about maximizing species richness in closed ecosystems. The most species-rich islands tend to be those that had once been connected to continents rather than islands that arose from volcanoes or coral reefs. After becoming isolated by rising sea level, these continental fragments (now islands) with higher species richness adjust to the more limited resources of an island. Similarly, we assumed welladapted species would accumulate more rapidly in Biosphere See REFUGE, page A9

the Detroit area, Walker said he came right out of the heart of Detroit where none of his friends played hockey. He got into the game due to his father, Greg. When Andy’s mother died when Andy was young, Andy’s brother, Sam, now 23, developed a very tight relationship with Andy. Andy said that tight relationship helped when he was 14. Before that time, hockey was easy. But at that age, he had to push through a wall he had hit. From 16 to 18, he played with the Meijer program with coach Brian Sherry. “He really made sure all the little stuff becomes habit during practice,” Walker said of Sherry. “Everybody would say you made a great play in the game, but it was just something you did all the time in practice.” Petrich loves players with the Meijer pedigree. “They work really, really hard to play the game the right way, and they don’t ask anything in return,” Petrich said. “It’s never, ‘Why not me?’ It’s always team-first. That makes it a pleasure to coach him.” In his last year with Meijer, Walker had nine goals and 13 assists in 19 games, earning him a game as an affiliate playing for the Brown Bears and former coach Jeff Worlton. The game was in Minnesota and Walker eventually tendered with the Aberdeen (South Da-
kota) Wings, where he had five goals and four assists in 37 games before getting traded. Walker was initially concerned by the Bears’ poor records of late, but now he’s glad he’s with Kenai River. “The guys like it up here,” Walker said. “Everything is pretty outdoorsy. The guys have a lot of fun. It’s a pretty close group.” Walker said his numbers are up because he has a year in the league under his belt. “I just have a lot more confidence,” he said. “I like playing for Josh. I get a lot more ice time and that makes it easier.” In order to make a push for a Division I deal, both Walker and Petrich agreed the time is now for more production and more wins. The Bears are 2-70-1 in their last 10 games and Walker has two goals and two assists in that time. “Andy has been nothing but positive and productive,” Petrich said. “I can’t say anything bad about the kid. “But we’re in fifth place. We’ve got to be better and Andy could have been a little better in the last 10 games.” No matter how it turns out, Walker, the billet son of Crystal and Russ Locke, will have an Alaska experience to look back on fondly. Most prominent is an early November practice on Lower Fuller Lake that is quickly taking on the stuff of legend. “That was as Alaskan as it gets,” Walker said. “It was a two-mile hike to skate on perfect frozen water surrounded by mountains.”
Cowboys beat Washington By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Pro Football Writer
ARLINGTON, Texas — Ezekiel Elliott made the $21 donation after his touchdown. Amari Cooper took the freebie following the first of his two scores. The bonus for the Dallas Cowboys: They’re all the way back in the NFC East race. Cooper celebrated his first touchdown with a mock free throw before a 90-yard score that sent him to a Dallas Thanksgiving- record 180 yards receiving, and the Cowboys pulled even with Washington atop the division with a 31-23 win over the Redskins on Thursday. Elliott ran for 121 yards with his TD and cash celebration as the Cowboys (6-5) won their third straight game since their first home loss, to Tennessee in the Dallas debut of Cooper. Dallas’ eighth win in nine Thanksgiving games against Washington, and second in three years, earned a season split. “Everyone jumped off the bandwagon, of course, at 3-5,” quarterback Dak Prescott said. “You expect that. I can tell you who didn’t doubt ourselves. As long as we locked arms, we stayed tight, we knew we could do this and we can do more. That’s the only thing that matters to us.” The Redskins (6-5) lost for the third time in four games in Colt McCoy’s first start in four years coming off Alex Smith’s season-ending leg injury. The former Texas Longhorns
star threw three interceptions to offset two touchdown passes. McCoy won his two previous starts at the home of the Cowboys, one for the 2009 Big 12 championship and the other his most recent NFL victory with the Redskins in 2014. “I think I’m encouraged, on a short week like that,” said McCoy, who was 24 of 38 for 268 yards. “Losing overshadows everything. But I’ll go back and watch it and try to clean up some of my mistakes that are going to help our team win.” Cooper had 105 yards after the catch on his two touchdowns. First, Cooper ran away from Quinton Dunbar after the Washington cornerback slipped on a short pass, turning it into a 40-yard TD for a 17-13 lead. Cooper celebrated by mimicking a free throw , shooting the football through the goal post. On the 90-yarder, Cooper made the catch just outside the Dallas 30, spun out of the arms of Fabian Moreau and won the race to the pylon against former Alabama teammate Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who tried to shove him out of bounds around the 5. The longest catch of Cooper’s career and longest completion in Prescott’s three seasons came exactly a month after the Cowboys gave Oakland their first-round pick in the upcoming draft for a new No. 1 receiver. “I’ve been putting in extra time with my coaches, with Dak,” Cooper said. “For some reason, since I’ve been here, the chemistry with Dak has phenomenal.”

playoff series and three Robertson Cups to the none of the Bears. Stewart has won two of the three league titles for Fairbanks. The Ravn Cup is the seasonlong battle for supremacy between the two sides. All six Ravn Cups have gone to Fairbanks, plus the Ice Dogs won every season series before the Ravn Cup existed. “They’re a well-coached team and a well-ran team that has great resources and puts everything into winning,” Petrich said. “At the same time, we’re not going to back down. We’re not going to get scared.” Last season, Petrich’s first at the helm of the Bears, Kenai River lost the season series to Fairbanks 5-6-0-1. That is the second-best effort the

minutes to go. Defensive back Eli Apple recovered that one. “When you have one turnover (in the red zone), it feels like a lot,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “We had three down there and that was the real story of the game.” Ryan was under pressure all night from a Saints defense that was bolstered by the return of first-round draft choice Marcus Davenport from a toe injury that
Bears have ever had against Fairbanks, trailing the 8-8-00 mark the 2012-13 team had against the Ice Dogs. The 201213 squad lost the Ravn Cup because all of Fairbanks’ victories were in regulation, while the Bears won twice in shootouts. These three games would be important even without the rivalry because of the battle to make the playoffs shaping up in the Midwest Division. The top four teams in the division make the playoffs. The Minnesota Magicians lead with 34 points, while Janesville (Wisconsin) is in second with 25 points, Fairbanks (9-8-1-2) and Springfield (Illinois) have 21 points and the Bears (9-100-1) are in fifth with 19 points. The Bears led the division before hitting a 2-7-0-1 rough spot. Kenai River has scored just 17 goals in those 10 games. “We haven’t finished and that’s concerning,” Petrich said. “We have to figure it out and
rectify it.” The coach did say the losses are not indicative of another Bears team about to go into a seasonlong tailspin. He said coaches, including former assistant Nick Sova and current assistant Dan Bogdan, have done well to change the culture. “I don’t think our losses have been because of players saying, ‘Here we go again,’” Petrich said. “I think the culture is really changed.” Petrich said the difference between winning and losing is really tight. He said the Bears have a deep and talented group of goalies and defensemen that could take the team a long way with some scoring help. Thus far, there isn’t much difference between the Bears and Ice Dogs. The two play nearly identical schedules due to travel arrangements, and Fairbanks has scored 57 goals and allowed 53 while Kenai River had scored and allowed 51.
“I think we have a team that could finish fifth, or win the division,” Petrich said. “If we can get to the playoffs, I think we can go to the Robertson Cup. “I like this group and we’ve played a lot of playoff hockey games already. I don’t know if a lot of teams can say that. I just hope it doesn’t wear on the guys.” Kenai River will have affiliate player Brandon Lajoie in town for the weekend. Lajoie, of Eagle River, has a 2001 birthdate and has tendered with the Bears for next season. The left-handed forward plays for the Iowa Wild AAA U18 squad and has seven goals and five assists in 14 games for a team coached by Sova.

sidelined him for three games. Cameron Jordan had two sacks, while Williams, P.J. Williams, Sheldon Rankins and Demario Davis each had one. Ryan finished 35 of 47 for 377 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. But very little came easy. His first TD pass, to Calvin Ridley, came on a fourth-and-goal from the 2 at the end of the third quarter. Atlanta rushed for just 26 yards, while New Orleans finished with 150, led by Alvin Kamara’s 89 and Mark Ingram’s 52. Statistically, Brees did not
have one of his more impressive games, completing 15 of 22 passes for 171 yards with his second interception of the season. The pick was snagged by Damontae Kazee, his NFLleading sixth this year. But Brees’ ability to play to the strengths of unheralded receivers allowed the Saints to cash in on scoring opportunities. Lewis, a third-year pro, was in his first game back after spending nine weeks on injured reserve and had not caught a pass all season before getting wide open for his
28-yard grab that made it 7-0 on the first series of the game. Carr is a second-year pro who played in only one game without a catch as a rookie. He, too, was wide open after Falcons defenders bit on a fake handoff to Ingram. Kirkwood made his NFL debut three games ago, when Arnold had his first career reception. “Obviously, Drew is someone who is very confident in the preparation, confident in players around him. There’s a lot that goes into that,” Payton said. “I’m excited for those guys that got opportunities.”

Bears win with backup QB By LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer
DETROIT — Chase Daniel outplayed Matthew Stafford, proving an NFL journeyman can beat one of the highest-paid players in the league. Daniel threw a career-high two touchdowns to keep the Chicago Bears rolling with a 23-16 win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday, filling in very well for injured quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. “You don’t know when these opportunities will come,” the 32-year-old Daniel said after making the third start of his career and first in nearly four years. “You just have to make the most of them.” He did. Daniel finished 27 of 37 for 230 yards, setting career highs in each category. He threw a go-ahead, 10-yard touchdown pass to Taquan Mizzell in the second quarter and a 14-yard
pass to Tarik Cohen in the fourth to give Chicago the lead again at 16-13. It was quite a performance for Daniel, a player who has been used sparingly since the former Missouri star entered the league in 2010. He barely played for New Orleans, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Chicago, but gained respect from coaches and players for his preparation. “Everyone in this locker room knew what he was going to do, and he didn’t let us down,” Mizzell said. “People forget how long he’s been in the NFL and how much talent he has. They talk about the number of games he’s started, but the people that practice with him every day knew that he was going to give us a chance to win this game.” And unlike Stafford, Daniel didn’t make any costly mistakes. Stafford was 28 of 38 for
236 yards with two interceptions late in the fourth, dooming Detroit’s chances to win. The Lions drafted Stafford No. 1 overall in 2009 and gave him a $135 million, five-year extension last year. The NFC North-leading Bears (8-3) sealed their fifth straight victory with Kyle Fuller’s interception in the end zone with 1:07 left. Chicago broke a 16-16 tie on Eddie Jackson’s 41-yard pick-6 with six minutes remaining. The safety stepped in front of a pass in the flat intended for tight end Michael Roberts, taking advantage of the fact that Stafford didn’t look at another target as he dropped back. “Got to see (Jackson) a little better than I did,” Stafford said. Jackson, a 2017 fourthround pick, has turned two of his four interceptions into scores this season and has five total touchdowns in his career.

2 if we overpacked our small biomes with lots of plants and animals, an idea we called “species packing.” As the famous ecologist Howard Odum advised us, “Shovel the species in, and let extinction sort it out.” Choosing the species to colonize each biome proved controversial. Each biome had different designers with differing ecological ideas. For example, the mangrove biome was constructed by transporting large, intact chunks of soil with growing mangroves from the Florida coast into Biosphere 2. In contrast, I used a synthetic approach for the humid desert biome, populating it with plants from several coastal deserts in Baja California, Israel, Namibia and Chile.
Microbial communities are the critical foundation for a biosphere, yet they are the least understood. In the 1980s when we were designing Biosphere 2, technology for assessing microbes was too crude for detailed inventories. However, we were certain that if there were diverse environments inside Biosphere 2, inoculated with soils and waters from diverse places, there would soon be well-adapted microbial communities to recycle nutrients and stabilize air and water chemistry. A similar process occurs in aquariums and aquaponics systems, when their ecosystem “pops” into a state that can process fish waste into plant nutrients. Establishing adaptable populations of plants and animals posed greater challenges. Space and light energy were limited in our “island,” hence the
number of individual organisms had to be limited. However, more individuals of each species meant fewer species could be included. So we developed a compromise design strategy. We emphasized species richness in plants and smaller invertebrates such as roaches and ants. In contrast, we included only a few vertebrate species such as coqui frogs and Solomon Island skinks, but we stocked enough individuals to ensure breeding populations. Management changes canceled the goal of a century of observation and evolution. Yet even during the few years of closure, community adaption was evident. During the first closed mission, condensation on the glass dripped extra moisture into the soil, and rainfall in the desert biome was substantially increased to offset oxygen loss. Within two years, the desert vegetation struc-
ture changed from open shrubland to denser chaparral. Many desert plant species died, but those favored by the wetter climate allowed a rapid transition to better adapted vegetation. Surveys discovered two species new to science, a protozoan and a soil nematode, indicating that novel communities were forming rapidly from diverse inoculations. The invertebrate food web began to organize with crazy ants (Paratrechina) as keystone predators, similar to islands where this ant has been introduced. How might such concepts apply in Alaska where climate is warming at twice the rate of the Lower 48? Unlike previous mass extinctions, powerful technologies currently alter the land and its ecology. New species are pouring in with global trade, tourism and gardeners’ desires for ornamental plants.

Some of these species, including earthworms, pasture grasses and agricultural weeds, have become invasive in Alaska. Interactions among economic globalization, technological evolution, cultural evolution, climate change and human population growth are certain to cause major, disruptive changes in Alaska’s ecology. Might Alaskans want to learn how to assist ecological adaptation that could sustain healthy environments in boreal and arctic regions? The basic questions are the same as those that confronted us in designing Biosphere 2.

Mississippi St. takes Egg Bowl OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Nick Fitzgerald’s previous Egg Bowl included a career-altering injury and a crushing loss on his home field. One year later, Mississippi State’s senior quarterback earned redemption. Fitzgerald ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score to lead No. 22 Mississippi State over Mississippi 35-3 on Thursday night in a rivalry game marred by a fight that led to four ejections in the second half. The wild brawl was what got most of the attention in the immediate aftermath. All Fitzgerald cared about was a win that felt so good after last year’s loss, which happened after the quarterback dislocated his ankle during the first quarter — a gruesome injury that required several months of rehab. “It felt amazing to know the people who kind of caused it, you get to go to their house, you get to dominate them on
their field in front of their fans,” Fitzgerald said. Mississippi State looked as though it would cruise to a fairly uneventful win before Ole Miss receiver A.J. Brown appeared to score a touchdown at the end of the third quarter. Players immediately started shoving, and the fight spilled into the end zone while both benches emptied onto the field. Mississippi State’s Cameron Dantzler, Jamal Peters and Willie Gay Jr. were ejected, along with Ole Miss’ C.J. Moore. Every player on both teams received an unsportsmanlike penalty. Gay was ejected because he already had one unsportsmanlike penalty earlier in the game. Brown’s touchdown was called back because time had expired in the third quarter before the play began. The Rebels didn’t seriously threaten again. Mississippi State first-year coach Joe Moorhead said the fight didn’t take away from the win.

Ohtani talks MLB TOKYO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani says it didn’t take him long to realize he was competing at a much higher level during his first season in Major League Baseball. Ohtani returned to Japan and held a news conference at the National Press Club, where he spoke at length on his first season with the Los Angeles Angels. “Everything was different — the baseball, the culture,” Ohtani said Thursday. In the baseball, “I was aware right away of a higher level of power, technique and speed.” Ohtani won American League Rookie of the Year earlier this month despite an elbow injury that disrupted his switch from Japan to the major leagues and likely will prevent him from
pitching next year. He didn’t play between June 4 and July 3 because of a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, an injury the Angels were aware of when they signed him last winter. The 24-year-old right-hander had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 1 and hopes to be able to help the Angels at the plate next season. He probably won’t take the mound again until 2020. In an indication that he plans to continue both pitching and batting, Ohtani said having surgery made the most sense. “I’m glad I had the surgery,” Ohtani said. “Of course, there was some reluctance over whether to have it but considering the long term I decided it was necessary.”
Today in History Today is Friday, Nov. 23, the 327th day of 2018. There are 38 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On November 23rd, 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed Nov. 25 a day of national mourning following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. On this date: In 1765, Frederick County, Maryland, became the first colonial American entity to repudiate the British Stamp Act. In 1804, the 14th president of the United States, Franklin Pierce (puhrs), was born in Hillsboro, New Hampshire. In 1889, the first jukebox made its debut in San Francisco, at the Palais Royale Saloon. (The coin-operated device consisted of four listening tubes attached to an Edison phonograph.) In 1903, Enrico Caruso made his American debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, appearing in “Rigoletto.” In 1936, Life, the photojournalism magazine created by Henry R. Luce (loos), was first published. In 1959, the musical “Fiorello!,” starring Tom Bosley as legendary New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, opened on Broadway. In 1971, the People’s Republic of China was seated in the U.N. Security Council. In 1980, some 2,600 people were killed by a series of earthquakes that devastated southern Italy. In 1996, a commandeered Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 767 crashed into the water off the Comoros Islands, killing 125 of the 175 people on board, including all three hijackers. In 2000, in a setback for Al Gore, the Florida Supreme Court refused to order Miami-Dade County officials to resume handcounting its election-day ballots. Meanwhile, Gore’s lawyers argued in a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court that the high court should stay out of the Florida election controversy. In 204, Dan Rather announced he would step down as principal anchorman of “The C-B-S Evening News” in March 2005. In 2006, former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko (leet-vee-NYEN’-koh) died in London from radiation poisoning after making a deathbed statement blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ten years ago: The government unveiled a bold plan to rescue Citigroup, injecting a fresh $20 billion into the troubled firm as well as guaranteeing hundreds of billions of dollars in risky assets. Spain clinched an improbable, come-from-behind Davis Cup victory over Argentina. Five years ago: President Barack Obama said a nuclear deal reached with Iran during talks in Geneva was an “important first step” toward addressing the world’s concerns over the Islamic republic’s disputed nuclear program. One year ago: The holiday shopping season kicked off with some major retailers opening on Thanksgiving afternoon or evening, hoping for a lift from a better economy. Today’s Birthdays: Former Labor Secretary William E. Brock is 88. Actor Franco Nero is 77. Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas is 74. Actor-comedy writer Bruce Vilanch is 71. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is 68. Singer Bruce Hornsby is 64. Former Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., is 63. Actor Maxwell Caulfield is 59. Actor John Henton is 58. TV personality Robin Roberts (“Good Morning America”) is 58. Rock singer-musician Ken Block (Sister Hazel) is 52. Rock musician Charlie Grover is 52. Actress Salli Richardson-Whitfield is 51. Actor Oded Fehr (OH’-dehd fayr) is 48. Rapper-actor Kurupt (Tha Dogg Pound) is 46. Actor Page Kennedy is 42. Actress Kelly Brook is 39. Actor Lucas Grabeel (GRAY’-beel) is 34. TV personality Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is 31. Actress-singer Miley Cyrus is 26. Actor Austin Majors is 23. Actress Olivia Keville (TV: “Splitting Up Together”) is 16. Thought for Today: “Music expresses that which cannot be said and which cannot remain silent.” -- Victor Hugo, French author (1802-1885).

Lighthearted wedding invitation rubs recipient the wrong way tion whenever she speaks. Occasionally, we see each other around the neighborhood, and it’s always a friendly meeting since we can walk away from them. Once in a while one neighbor will have a few of the others over for a party, but no one wants to invite the new couple because of her. What do we say if either one asks why they aren’t invited to some of the Abigail Van Buren parties we have? We live close enough to each other that they might see us entertaining without them. Please don’t suggest we invite them and suck it up since we tried that and the evening was not fun for anyone. -- STRUGGLING FOR AN ANSWER DEAR STRUGGLING: Don’t worry, I won’t. No one should ask a question like that unless prepared for the answer. If one of them is so bold as to ask why they weren’t included, I think you should tell the person the truth. DEAR ABBY: I’m a boy in sixth grade. Recently, my best friend has been hitting me. I try to get her to stop.
I’ve done everything I can think of, but she keeps doing it. Today in math class, she pinched me or something -- I can’t remember -- so I did it back. Afterward she beat on me with a ruler. I could really use some of your advice. -- TIRED OF IT DEAR TIRED OF IT: The person you call your best friend isn’t acting like one. She may do it to get attention because she has a crush on you, or because she’s a bully. Tell her to stop touching you because you don’t like it, but do NOT retaliate by hitting her back. If she persists, tell your teacher what she has been doing because it’s creating a distraction when you need to be concentrating in class.

Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 23, 2018: This year you make waves when others least expect it. Aim for getting more of what you want. Be willing to discuss your goals, and you will take the first step toward making them a reality. You have what it takes. If you are single, you easily will meet someone who piques your interest. It is worth being patient and waiting for the right person. If you are attached, the two of you open up to new possibilities. You and your sweetie sometimes disagree about a long-term desire, but ultimately you will find a meeting point. PISCES can be very confrontational. 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) HHHH You might feel strange when a person compliments you. Perhaps the comment seems unauthentic or inappropriate in some way. Let it go. Take some downtime, even if it is just an hour or two. You need an outlet for your many ideas. Tonight: Time to do your thing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Friends will bound in and out of your door. You could find the pace to be rather hectic and chaotic. Your fatigue might become quite evident. A new beginning becomes possible because of the people around you. Tonight: Approach a work-related matter carefully. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Take a stand. A take-charge attitude could backfire if you are not careful. A partner might need to speak with you in private. Don’t worry

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Don’t make demands at the present moment. Defer to a loved one. As a result, a new beginning becomes possible. You’ll accomplish a lot if you choose to concentrate on one item at a time. Schedule some time with a family member. Tonight: Consider a visit in the near future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A loved one might decide to pull the wool over your eyes. Be aware of being naive or too trusting, as it will make you an easy target. Brainstorm with a friend or family member to come up with great weekend plans. Tonight: You might not have a choice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others seek you out. Though you’ll be flattered, you might feel overwhelmed by everything that is happening around you. A friend could be demanding, but choose not to worry so much. Stay centered, and don’t let this get to you. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could be overwhelmed by everything you think you have to do. Communication flourishes, even if you aren’t in the mood to talk. You have a lot to complete and would prefer not to be distracted. Listen to your sixth sense for guidance. Tonight: Hang out with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might choose not to share all your ideas at the present moment. Try to isolate yourself from others, and don’t scatter yourself in

every direction. Use care with your spending, as you easily could go overboard. Tonight: Time to let your inner child run the show. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Stay close to home, even though this might not feel natural for you, as it will feel better than being out and about. Curb your spending as much as possible, and you will be a lot happier. When you are relaxed, you tend to be a great source of ideas. Tonight: Order in. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Clear communication will settle any potential differences of opinion. You might want to find out what is going on. You’ll discover that someone else has even more ideas than you do. Your responses in a discussion will be intuitive. Tonight: Meet a friend at a new spot. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Friendship is always important to you, but be aware of a change of pace. A friend is likely to share a lot more than he or she has in a long time. A partner will help you see the big picture. Express your appreciation for his or her support. Tonight: Make it your treat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might feel as if nearly any choice you make is the right one. When looking at all your different options, you’ll see validity in each one, which could make it more difficult to decide. Know that this confusion isn’t likely to last long. Tonight: Where your friends are. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Miley Cyrus (1992), comedian Chris Hardwick (1971), actor Page Kennedy (1976)
BABY ON BOARD Dear Heloise: When traveling with a baby, make sure your diaper bag fits UNDER the seat in front of you. Do not store it in the overhead bin. This makes it easier to retrieve, if necessary. -- Susan in Long Beach, Calif. GRAVE MARKERS Dear Heloise: We enjoy your column in the Gaston (N.C.) Gazette. I’m writing to ask you how I can clean off my family’s tombstones in the cemetery. They are so dark, I can’t read them anymore. -- May D.A., Mount Holly, N.C. May, you didn’t mention the material used for the grave markers, but here are some suggestions: Gather these supplies together: * A bucket of distilled water. * A gentle cleaner or soap (non-ionic is best, but there are others you can use). * A nylon-bristled brush, sponges, old kitchen towels or T-shirts. For granite, wipe down the headstone with water and a mild soap. Then wet a nylon-bristled brush and gently scrub the surface. Wipe with clean water and dry with old dish towels. For marble, wet the stone first with water. If there is any growth on the stone, remove it using a plastic or wooden scraper. (A plastic spatula works well.) Use a gentle soap (non-ionic) to wash down the headstone. If there is a significant buildup, you may have to use a nylon brush. For limestone, use the same methods as you would for marble. -- Heloise HEAT AND AIR Dear Heloise: Please tell your readers to get their heating and cooling units cleaned and inspected once a year. We didn’t bother with that step for six years, and now we’re faced with replacing our unit, which will cost us thousands of dollars. We won’t neglect this in the future! -- Jon and Andrea L. in Pittsburgh

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.

DEAR ABBY: We received a wedding invitation in the mail today from my husband’s nephew. First of all, we are to RSVP by tomorrow. (WHAT?) Here are our options in responding: Gladly attend Regretfully decline Resentfully attend Enthusiastically decline I’ll surprise you The invitation also asked which song we’d like “blasted over our awkward small talk.” Granted, there is some animosity among the groom’s father’s siblings, but I think this is rude, sarcastic and inappropriate. I have a sense of humor but do not find this funny. Am I off the mark? -- INSULTED GUEST IN THE MIDWEST DEAR GUEST: Obviously, you and your husband would have preferred a more formal -- and possibly more timely -- invitation. Considering the sorry state of family relations on the groom’s side, the wording may have been an attempt at humor. It may also have been sincere. If you cannot GLADLY attend, rather than fume, send your regrets. DEAR ABBY: We don’t care much for the wife of one of our new neighbors. The husband is nice, but his wife is overbearing. On the occasions we get together, she interrupts conversations or takes over the conversa-
