In the news West Coast fishermen back ballot measure The largest commercial fishing trade organization on the West Coast announced Monday its support for Ballot Measure 1, which would change how the State of Alaska permits development on certain fish habitat. The Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations represents members from San Diego to Alaska. Its voting board doesn’t have Alaska representation. “Alaska’s fisheries are the richest in the nation, annually supporting a $5 billion seafood economy,” said Glen Spain, Northwest Regional Director for the group. “In the case of salmon, the health of fisheries is directly tied to the health of their freshwater spawning and rearing habitat. Alaska’s freshwater habitat is right now second to none, but many threats large and small are advancing.” Ballot Measure 1 is up for a vote at the statewide general election on Nov. 6. — Juneau Empire
Wildlife officials sample hunter kills looking for bacterium ANCHORAGE — Alaska hunters are helping the state assess the extent of a bacterium in game animals that could cause respiratory problems. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game says hunters helped collect laboratory samples from more than 330 Dall sheep. Hunters also provided specimens from 110 mountain goats, 100 caribou and 100 moose. The department is looking for mycoplasma ovipneumoniae, also known as M.ovi. The bacterium occurs in domestic and wild sheep and goats in the Lower 48. Some strains have been identified as pathogens in bighorn sheep pneumonia outbreaks that led to die-offs. The bacterium this year was detected for the first time in Alaska Dall sheep and mountain goats. — Associated Press

Skyview tutor receives state honor By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
In a surprise assembly Tuesday morning, the National Education Association of Alaska awarded Soldotna’s Suzanne Goodwill the title of Alaska Education Support Professional of the year. Goodwill is an academic tutor and intervention aide at Skyview Middle School. The Education Support Professional of the Year is the NEA of Alaska’s highest honor for non-certified education professionals. Tim Parker, NEA-Alaska president, said there are as many education support professionals as there are teachers in the state of Alaska. He said Goodwill has shown the ability to do any job an education support professional might be tasked with. “She can come in and sub; she can come in and do anything,” Parker said. “Staff always says she’s constantly moving, doesn’t sit still and that she has all this energy. She’s just a fantastic representative of what education support professionals do around Alaska.” Goodwill found out during the Suzanne Goodwill poses for photos along with Skyview Middle School principal Sarge Truesdell, NEA Alaska President Tim Parker, Kenai Peninsula School District superintendent Sean Dusek and Kenai Peninsula Borough Education Board President See HONOR, page A2 Penny Vadla in a surprise assembly on Tuesday at Skyview Middle School in Soldotna.

State departments look for increase in budgets By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire
Legislative and governor candidates have vowed across the state to further cut Alaska’s budget, but many state departments drafting their budget requests for the coming fiscal year are going in a different direction. On Friday, the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute became the latest state-supported agency to warn that budget cuts have reached their limit and in
some places have gone too far. In an unusual statement, the public-private partnership said it will be requesting $3.75 million more from the state in the coming year. “There’s only so much you can do to squeeze down on the role and responsibilities of state government, and as far as others, there’s some departments looking at increments … I guess mostly in programs that will pay long-term benefits,” said Mike Navarre, commissioner of the

deep, whether it’s public education or whether it’s public safety. You look at the 74 percent reduction in the Department of Community, Commerce and Economic Development, and people are saying that we, that further cuts will not be helpful to the lives of citizens across our state. “So, I think that we made the cuts that are possible without negatively affecting the Alaska as we want to live in it. And so, I have proposed in the past that we get new revenues. I’m definitely on track with changing the oil tax. We are currently getting the lowest percentage in the history of our state on (oil) taxes, and … most citizens don’t realize that they are paying 35 percent of all the expenditures made by the oil companies on North Slope by these credits. “There are two kinds of credits: cashable credits and deductible credits. And so the big four, Conoco(Phillips), BP, Exxon(Mobil) and Hilcorp, producing over 50,000 barrels a day each, that’s where the money really is. And they are still taking 35 percent credit and subtracting that from what they would pay in taxes, and so that means residents are paying 35 percent of every dollar that’s paid on the North Slope, and that’s the big reason why the taxes are so low. And that really needs to be revised. “Also, we need a broad-based tax so that citizens, not just citizens are involved, but it will involve citizens, involve much more in the government with a broad-based tax. My analysis is an income tax is the most fair across the state, that’s progressive income tax.” Q: Because that catches people who don’t live here but work here? A: “Yes. There’s about $2.5 billion dollars worth of wages that are not taxed here but are taxed in the states from which
they come. And the income tax is paid there instead of to us to support the services that are needed here.” Q: What is your strategy for winning this election? Reaching out to your political base and hoping to get sufficient turnout to win? Reaching out to all voters, including swing voters? Something else? Why? A: “I try to engage all citizens in the state, always have. You know, I’m doing radio ads. All of my radio ads are positive, saying what we have done, and I intend to continue representing the constituents of the lower Kenai Peninsula. “The mailers are going out to many people across the district, as well as Homer News ads. But attacking other people is not proposing solutions for the state, so I avoid that.” Q: Other than radio and mailers, how do you reach out to people who you know aren’t really in your base (of voters)? A: “Well I’m door-knocking. I go to meetings all over the district, but that’s not just during the campaign. I think people recognize that I’m very involved in the communities up and down the peninsula, presenting to, whether it’s the borough assembly or the school boards, or whether it’s the nonpolitical kind of things. Like today (Oct. 12) I’m at the Senior Center and they’re talking about Alzheimer’s health care. “… I think it’s just imperative to get that broad-based understanding by engaging with that as well as the nonprofits that are very prolific in our community and supply such a broad and needed services.” The Alaska general election takes place on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Reach Megan Pacer at mpacer@homernews.com.

sues that are being brought forward are reasonably addressed. “We can direct, as representatives, the administration, but we can sure make sure that they are adequately addressing the issues that are brought forward.” Q: So a lot of interaction with constituents? A: “Yeah, a lot of interaction with constituents. I think that people generally say that my office is one of the most responsive offices in the entire Legislature. We always answer all the emails and those kind of issues that people are having. It doesn’t mean we can always satisfy the person, but we can sure make it so they are getting a correct and adequate response.” Q: And you said there’s a couple different things? A: “That’s the first thing, and then after that would be responding to the problems of the state and actually proposing solutions. I’ve always worked very hard on trying to develop solutions that can go forward, and get those through passed as bills or as ways to encourage the agencies of the government to address those concerns.” “… I sponsor bills when they are bills that are good. I don’t cosponsor a lot, because a co-sponsor becomes — you’re going to vote on the issue, and sometimes people co-sponsor something early and then it changes along the way, and so to me it’s better to make sure you work on those issues. And whether you’re the sponsor of a bill or the co-sponsor of a bill, it really doesn’t matter as long as you’re working for finding solutions.” Q: Depending on the statewide election results, the District 31 Representative will
caucus with either a majority or minority caucus. In either scenario, how do you see yourself working with the caucus as well as the House in general? A: “Well I’ve always been in the majority. I work with everyone that wants to work on solutions for Alaska. And so I’m now a nonpartisan, and I’m willing to work in the most effective way to get the problem solved. The reason that I became a nonpartisan was exactly that, was that some people were not acting on the solutions for Alaska’s problems but were just working on philosophical alignment with parties, and those don’t necessarily move Alaska forward.” Q: Will your votes be dictated by the caucus leadership or will you put the concerns of the district first? A: “Well I always put the concerns of the district first. I think people have known for the last 16 years that I’ve been an independent voice within the caucus, within the majority. “There’s always been the understanding that individuals can take any position that represents their constituents, and so the constituents in the Southern Kenai Peninsula are often different than those of other areas of the state. … If you look at my voting record, you’ll see that I am much more aligned with the citizens instead of just with the parties.” Q: If future budgets require deep cuts to existing state services and programs, name three hard cuts you would propose or support to balance the budget. If you are not willing to support those cuts, how would you find the revenue to continue those programs? A: “I think that we’ve cut the budget significantly in the past, we’ve supported efficiencies in government. We’ve gotten to the point where citizens are now telling us that cuts have been too

$1 billion for Permanent Fund Dividends, $1.45 billion for construction and renovation projects in the capital budget, and $9.77 billion for operations. In an analysis released in August, the Legislative Finance Division warned that keeping the budget flat will cost $200 million more in revenue, partially because the Legislature used so many one-time accounts to make ends meet. With the money in those accounts (about $77.5 million) gone, the state will need to find new sources of cash. In addition, the Legislature deliberately underfunded Medicaid services by $50 million and pledged to put more money toward K-12 education and the retirement system for state employees. Lawmakers will need to pay for all of that if they want to keep the budget flat. Many state departments aren’t asking for flat funding, however. They’re like ASMI: They’re asking for more, hoping that the fiscal climate is right. Oil prices have risen since the Alaska Legislature approved the state budget this spring, and — barring another dip in prices or production — the price may be high enough to erase a projected budget deficit. The state could even run a small surplus. Since 1981, the state has levied a small tax on seafood landings in Alaska in order to pay for a cooperative marketing program. When Outside restaurants promote “wild Alaska salmon� or king crab, they’re buying into a reputation for quality and purity that ASMI has helped establish. “We as Alaskans, we know that we have the best fish in the world, and it comes from the purest environments,� said ASMI spokesman Jeremy Woodrow. “What’s often forgotten is that there is a similar or identical competing species.� ASMI’s mission is to preserve the reputation of Alaska seafood, but it is warning that budget cuts have endangered that mission.
The ongoing trade war with China and international competition is making Alaska seafood less competitive on price. That means it needs to compete on quality, and that takes marketing. In the past five years, the state’s support for ASMI (above and beyond the fish tax) has declined from $7.8 million to zero. Those cuts have side effects as well. Without state funding, ASMI cannot match federal grants available for marketing. Those grants account for $4.5 million of ASMI’s remaining $20.6 million budget. “We’re circling back and realizing that if it’s going to be a public-private partnership, there needs to be some public funds in this partnership,� Woodrow said. ASMI’s requests for additional funding are believed to be typical of what is happening behind the scenes as state bureaucrats draft their budget plans. The Empire submitted a public records request for each department’s budget requests but was rejected by the governor’s office, which said those documents are protected under an aspect of the state records laws that locks up work in progress. The first draft of state budget requests will not be published until December, but some departments, like ASMI, have made their preferences known. In regard to public safety, the requests are expected to include more funding for troopers, prosecutors and drug treatment programs. The University of Alaska board of regents is finalizing its budget request at a meeting early next month. That request is expected to ask for more state funding as well. None of these requests are final: The budget must be approved by the Legislature and signed by the governor before becoming effective. In this case, who that governor will be is unknown. In the case of ASMI, Navarre said he believes it’s worth it to ask. “In terms of the Alaska brand, ASMI has done — it’s a great example of a public-private partnership,� he said. “This is one that makes good sense.�

What Others Say
Oil is not a cure-all for fiscal problems The price of a barrel of Alaska North
Slope crude oil sat at $83.86 at the beginning of the month. On Thursday the price had fallen to $76.68 per barrel, according to the Alaska Department of Revenue. It was $73.98 on Aug. 1, $79.54 on July 2 and $72.89 on June 1. It started the year at $66.50 on Jan. 2. And one year prior to that the price of a barrel of North Slope crude sat quite a bit lower at $53.59. Now comes the news in the up-and-down world of the global oil market that the oil supply stockpiles are burgeoning. The Reuters news service reported Friday that “U.S. production is soaring, boosted by technological advances that have enabled drillers to tap shale formations, with output this year forecast to overtake the previous annual record in 1970.” CNBC had this to say on Friday: “At the start of October, oil prices were rising on signs that U.S. sanctions are shrinking Iran’s crude exports faster than anticipated, potentially leaving the world with a shortage of oil. The sanctions are expected to cut crude exports from Iran, OPEC’s thirdbiggest oil producer, by about 1 million barrels per day. But concerns about faltering demand and rising output from OPEC and Russia now have traders focused on potential oversupply.” Prices have tumbled in recent days. The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate, the crude oil benchmark, has fallen nearly 12 percent so far this month, according to Reuters. The price of Brent crude has fallen 10.5 percent in the same period. Low oil prices are good for the consumer, of course. It means lower prices for gasoline and diesel — and just in time for the holidays. But a low price isn’t so good for the state of Alaska, which relies heavily on oil industry revenue to fund government operations. Why mention this now? Because the Nov. 6 election is drawing near and candidates for governor and seats in the Legislature are on the campaign trail offering their solutions for fixing the state’s recent and continual budget gaps, which have at times have been in the billions of dollars. It is foolish for a candidate to base his or her solution to the fiscal gap on the idea that oil prices will hold steady for the long term at an amount that allows Alaska, assuming stable oil production levels, to close its budget gap without finding either additional revenue, making more budget cuts, or further drawing down its rapidly depleting savings account. The constitutional budget reserve account, which just a few years ago held more than $10 billion, now holds only about $1.7 billion. For the years ahead, state revenue officials wrote in their spring revenue forecast that their estimate for unrestricted revenue from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2026 has increased by between $124 million and $213 million annually. That’s due in part to an increase in both prices and production. That’s certainly a good thing for the state and its budget. The spring revenue book forecast is based on an annual North Slope crude price of $61 per barrel for fiscal 2018 and $63 for fiscal 2019. Those estimates are increases of $5 and $6, respectively, over the fall 2017 revenue forecast. But the forecast also wisely includes other price scenarios, which show either annual revenue declines of a few hundred million dollars or increases of a couple of billion dollars. The spring forecast states that oil prices will stabilize in the low $60s per barrel over the long term. That prediction, however, is followed by this important caveat: “Predicting future prices is inherently uncertain and this publication includes a table with alternative price projections and their associated revenues.” And that is something that Alaskans and those campaigning for elected office should always remember when talking about oil prices. The dollar per barrel moves around — sometimes a lot and in a rapid manner, influenced by events both domestically and foreign. That happened again last week. Oil isn’t the cure-all of the state’s fiscal ailment. Although it remains a good part of the recovery regimen, it’s price volatility always needs to be considered.
Trump’s violent presidency
Republicans have always justified their preferential treatment of the super-wealthy by trotting out the bogus “trickle-down theory.” They argue that as the rich get richer, they will spend more on jobs, etc., and the financial benefits will “trickle down” the economic scale. It’s a total con, of course. A sham. The most prosperous among us simply hoard their newfound bread, except for the crumbs that they toss to their political lackeys, mainly in the GOP, so they can keep getting their tax breaks and the like. But now we are witnessing a trickle down that’s for real. The man who has taken over the Republicans spews ignorance, hatred and violence every time he opens his mouth or pecks on a smartphone. His malice indeed trickles down — actually, more like a gushing — as Americans for and against him act on and react to the poison of Donald Trump. It explains the horrifying slaughter at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday — the Shabbat, when Jews would be packed in as they came to worship. Robert Bowers, who allegedly mowed them down, was an outspoken and virulent anti-Semite. It would be overstating it to pin that label on Donald Trump. However, he certainly has pandered to those who are emboldened to crawl out of their dark hiding places and proudly display their fanatic hatred of Jews and everyone else who’s not a heterosexual white Christian. Trump inspires them with his unceasing dog whistles. One
specific example was his insistence that the extremist marchers who rallied in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017 included many “good people.” That apparently would mean those chanting “Jews Bob Franken will not replace us” might be “good people.” By the way, Bowers had made it clear in his social media rants that he was not a Trump supporter. Not so for Cesar Sayoc, the passionate Trumphead arrested for sending out crude pipe bombs to just about any liberal who had ever crossed his idol. Donald Trump has created a presidency with his brand of destructive politicking that literally triggers violence. The brutality now flows freely from both sides. The 2017 shooting and near killing of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise during an attack on GOP congressmen as they practiced for a baseball game against the Democrats was another case in point. The perpetrator was someone from the left who had become inflamed into a homicidal rage. What also was regrettable is that the annual game is one of the few shreds of bipartisanship that remains. That has been replaced first by high-volume, angry rhetoric and now inevitably by real attacks as the
“United” in United States is becoming a fiction. The loudest voice of all, screaming invective from his bully pulpit, is the instigator in chief, President Trump. His poison cascades downward, and tears us apart. Violence is a predictable result. And now he has the chutzpah to declare that what our country needs is to “unify.” He blames the media. One recent tweet reads: “There is a great anger in our country, caused in part by inaccurate and even fraudulent reporting of the news, the fake news, the true enemy of the people, must stop the open and obvious hostility …” That is an invitation to violence against journalists if there ever was one. Or perhaps depraved responsibility. Meanwhile, his sycophants on the right are still peddling the story that the entire pipe bomb episode was a “false flag” subterfuge. It was really a “Democratic operative,” thundered Rush Limbaugh to his remaining dozens of radio listeners, “Republicans just don’t do this kind of thing.” How about Trumplicans, Rush? This quote may be familiar, as I’ve used it before: “‘Cheer up,’ they said. ‘Things could be worse.’ So I did, and sure enough, they were.” Unless we rediscover that political debate means exchanging points of view as opposed to shouting at one another; until our leaders get a twinge of conscience, the growing fire will finally consume our country. The national will to extinguish it will have become a pathetic trickle.

For Jewish journalists, online harassment goes with the job By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer
NEW YORK — For many Jewish journalists in the U.S., persistent online anti-Semitic harassment has become part of the job. The phenomenon became pervasive during the 2016 presidential campaign, and there’s been a resurgence in recent months ahead of next week’s midterm election, according to the Anti-Defamation League. Targeted journalists have found different ways of responding. CNN commentator Sally Kohn reaches out kindly to some of her online harassers. Michael Duke, an editor at the Houston-based Jewish Herald-Voice, has reduced his use of social media. Yair Rosenberg, a writer with Tablet Magazine, developed a method of tracking down and disrupting anti-Semitic accounts on Twitter.
Letters to the Editor What I know about Mark Begich
I know who I am going to vote for as our next governor and I know why. I know, after observing Mark Begich meeting with 14 groups a day, advocating for legislation in the Senate, and listening to veterans as long as they cared to speak, that he is a servant leader. I know that Begich looks beyond political labels to focus on solving problems. He was a No Labels Problem Solver in the Senate working successfully with Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders. I know that in government experience matters. Begich has a proven record in reducing crime, supporting our well-being, and increasing economic opportunities.

Rosenberg has written in detail about the vitriol directed at him, including a doctored photo showing him a gas chamber. When the ADL reported that he received the secondmost abuse of any Jewish journalist on Twitter during the 2016 campaign, Rosenberg wrote, “My parents didn’t raise me to be No. 2; fortunately, there’s always 2020.” Twitter, over the past two years, has become more effective at removing certain types of virulent anti-Semitism from its feeds, according to Rosenberg. But he said the company is less effective at blocking the spread of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories in tweets that avoid certain phrases and hashtags that would catch the eye of Twitter monitors. Rosenberg said he has grown hardened to the constant flow of anti-Semitic material. “I don’t feel like a victim,” he said by telephone from Pittsburgh, where and he and his Tablet colleagues are covering the aftermath

I know that Begich not only talks about respect for women and diversity but lives it, as seen in his devoted staff, supporters and friends. I know Begich has the vision and leadership to work across party lines developing a smarter budget process. It will save state employees thousands of hours and assure that legislative shenanigans cannot hold education funding hostage discouraging the most effective resource for quality education — our teachers. I know, as an education advocate, that Mike Dunleavy is an educator who does not support public education. I know for certain that I will be voting Mark Begich for governor with great pride and confidence. I hope you will, too. — Liz Downing, Homer
of the synagogue shooting Saturday that killed 11 Jews. “What some people deal with in real life is worse than what I deal with online,” he said. “There’s life-and-death stuff, and there’s me getting mean tweets.” A few spots below Rosenberg on the ADL’s 2016 “Top 10” list was Kohn, a liberal political commentator who appears regularly on CNN. For a book she published earlier this year, “The Opposite of Hate,” she reached out to several of her own Twitter trolls, conversing with them about the reasons for their vitriol and in some cases receiving apologies. In an interview Tuesday, Kohn said she is now less tempted to engage with her harassers. “It’s all just so negative,” she said. “I’ve stopped paying as much attention to my trolls.”

Nation Trumps light candles at synagogue
Prosecutor in father’s trial: Baby ‘died of diaper rash’
By ZEKE MILLER, ALLEN G. BREED and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Paying solemn tribute to the dead, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump stepped into the vestibule of a Pittsburgh synagogue Tuesday to light candles for the 11 people slain in the worst instance of anti-Semitic violence in American history. Outside the Tree of Life synagogue, the Trumps were later set to lay stones for each victim, a Jewish burial tradition, and place small white roses just steps from where a gunman opened fire during Sabbath services Saturday and further shook a nation reeling from jarring expressions of political violence and hate. Trump stepped into the role of national consoler, a title he wears uncomfortably, as he arrived in Squirrel Hill, the neighborhood where he faced an uneasy welcome. When Air Force One touched down at the airport outside Pittsburgh, the Trumps were not greeted by the usual phalanx of local officials that typically welcomes a visiting president, a reflection of controversy surrounding the visit.

The White House said Trump was coming to “express the support of the American people and to grieve with the Pittsburgh community.� But local and religious leaders were divided on whether Trump should be there. Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, a Democrat, told reporters before the visit was announced that the White House ought to consult with the families of the victims about their preferences and asked that the president not come during a funeral. Neither he nor Democratic Gov. Tom
Wolf planned to appear with Trump. Stepping off the plane, Trump was trailed by his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who are Jewish, and members of the first lady’s staff carrying white flowers. As his motorcade wound through downtown Pittsburgh, some onlookers saluted the president with upraised middle fingers and others with downturned thumbs. The White House invited the top four congressional
leaders to join Trump in Pennsylvania, but none accompanied him. A spokesman for Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he already had events in his home state of Kentucky, pushing back on the suggestion that he declined. Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan’s office said he could not attend on short notice. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi also opted not to participate.
Whitey Bulger found slain in prison By DENISE LAVOIE and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER Associated Press
BOSTON — James “Whitey� Bulger, the murderous Boston gangster who benefited from a corrupt relationship with the FBI before spending 16 years as one of America’s most wanted men, was slain in federal prison. He was 89. Bulger was found unresponsive Tuesday morning at the U.S. penitentiary in West Virginia where he’d just been transferred, and a medical examiner declared him dead shortly afterward, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Authorities did not immediately release a cause of death, but Justin Tarovisky, a prison union official, told The Associated Press it was being investigated as a homicide. Bulger, the model for Jack Nicholson’s ruthless crime boss in the 2006 Martin Scorsese movie, “The Departed,� led a largely Irish mob that ran loansharking, gambling and drug rackets. He also was an FBI informant who ratted on the New England mob, his gang’s main rival, in an era when bringing
Around the Nation
down the Mafia was a top national priority for the FBI. Bulger’s rap sheet started as a juvenile, and he spent three years in Alcatraz, the infamous island prison off San Francisco. Bulger fled Boston in late 1994 after his FBI handler, John Connolly Jr., warned him he was about to be indicted. With a $2 million reward on his head, Bulger became one of the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted� criminals, with a place just below Osama bin Laden. There was no love lost for Bulger on the Boston streets he once ruled. Patricia Donahue’s husband, Michael, was killed in 1982 when he offered a ride home to a man allegedly targeted for death by Bulger because he was talking to the FBI. “I’d like to open up a champagne bottle and celebrate,� she told WBZ-TV on Tuesday. Tom Duffy, a retired state police detective who searched for Bulger and was a consultant on “The Departed,� called word of Bulger’s death “celebratory news.� When the extent of his crimes and the FBI’s role in

overlooking them became public in the late 1990s, Bulger became a source of embarrassment for the FBI. During
the years he was a fugitive, the FBI battled a public perception that it had not tried very hard to find him.

CNN goes after Trump in wake of explosive devices NEW YORK — CNN’s management has taken an aggressive stance against attacks from President Donald Trump after the network was sent explosive devices from a man who allegedly targeted Trump’s perceived enemies. Two of the network’s former presidents, Jonathan Klein and Rick Kaplan, both applauded the approach in interviews with The Associated Press on Tuesday. The White House, however, hasn’t backed down on its criticisms of CNN. And one of its biggest media supporters, Sean Hannity, reported on what he called “CNN’s credibility crisis� on his Fox News Channel show on Monday night. It is unusual for a news organization to directly take on a president.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa — A prosecutor in the trial of an Iowa father whose infant son was found dead and maggot-infested in a baby swing last year has told a jury the child “died of diaper rash.� Assistant Iowa Attorney General Coleman McAllister told jurors Tuesday that 4-month-old Sterling Koehn had been in the same diaper for nine to 14 days when his body was found in the swing Aug. 30, 2017, at his parents’ Alta Vista apartment, the Courier reported. The baby’s father, 29-year-old Zachary Paul Koehn, is charged with murder and child endangerment. The boy’s mother, Cheyanne Harris, is also charged and faces a separate trial at a later date. McAllister said Tuesday in opening statements that the baby’s heavily soiled diaper had attracted bugs that had laid eggs, which had hatched into maggots. The resulting diaper rash led to ruptured skin, and e.Coli bacteria set in. “He died of diaper rash. That’s right, diaper rash,� McAllister said. A coroner’s report showed the baby died of malnutrition, dehydration and the infection. In opening statements Tuesday, Koehn’s attorney said the baby’s death was a tragedy, but not a crime. McAllister denied the defense’s claims, saying Koehn was an experienced parent. He noted that Koehn’s 2-yearold daughter was also in the apartment and was healthy, and that Koehn had money to buy food and baby supplies. He stated Koehn was a drug user. Nurse and county rescue squad EMT Toni Friedrich testified Tuesday that she was the first to arrive at the apartment after Koehn called 911 to report the baby had died. Friedrich said Koehn showed no emotion when he led her to the dark, hot bedroom where the baby’s body was. The baby’s “eyes were open, and it was a blank stare,� she said. Friedrich said when she touched the baby’s chest, his clothing was crusty. When she moved his blanket, gnats flew up, she said. Koehn’s trial was moved from Chickasaw County to Henry County to counter pretrial publicity.

Thousands stuck in the desert risk starvation By HIBA DLEWATI Associated Press
BEIRUT — Tens of thousands of Syrians stranded in a desert camp near the Jordanian border are at risk of starvation amid dwindling supplies and the approach of winter, while regional powers trade blame over who is responsible for this latest humanitarian catastrophe in Syria’s civil war. Desperately needed aid deliveries to the besieged Rukban camp have repeatedly failed or been postponed, including a U.N. convoy which was supposed to go in on Thursday but has now been indefinitely delayed. The camp is home to around 45,000 people, many of them women and children, who are camped out in the open desert. At least four people have died in the past month, due to malnutrition and lack of medical care. Sand storms and heavy rains in recent weeks have left Rukban’s tattered tents and clay houses in even worse shape. Imad Ghali, a camp resident, said this isn’t the first time Rukban has been promised aid and not received it. “It’s like telling someone dying of thirst to wait for the rain,” said Ghali. “How long are we going to wait?” People started gathering in Rukban three years ago, fleeing Islamic State militants and airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition, Russia and Syria. Jordan sealed its border and stopped regular aid deliveries in 2016 after a cross-border IS attack that killed seven Jordanian soldiers. The last aid delivery from Jordan was in January, leaving the camp’s residents dependent on goods largely smuggled from government-held areas. The situation sharply deteriorated after the Syrian government blocked supply routes last month following a botched

reconciliation deal with rebel groups in the area, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Russia, a close ally of the Syrian government, has blamed the U.S. for the deterioration of the situation in Rukban, which is within a 55 square kilometer (20 sq. mile) “deconfliction zone” set up by U.S. forces in the nearby Tanf military base. “The inability of the US side to live up to its commitment to provide security in the 55-kilometer area around its base in Tanf stopped the convoy from going,” Lt. Gen. Vladimir Savchenko said last week, adding that the area around Tanf has “a large number of armed and uncontrolled militants who can stage any manner of provocation” and endanger aid workers. The U.S.-led coalition has denied such allegations. “Any talk of the coalition holding up the process is simply misinformation and others deflecting off themselves,” U.S. military spokesman Col. Sean Ryan said in an email.
On Saturday, the White House envoy to the coalition, Brett McGurk, said the Syrian government and Russia are using Rukban as an excuse to question the U.S. presence in the area. “The question is for the regime and Russians. Do they really want to help these people or use them as something to come after us?” he asked, after stressing the U.S. was going to stay in the Tanf base. He spoke at a security conference in Bahrain last week. Jordan, which at one point used cranes to drop aid for Syrians struck in Rukban, said it will not shoulder responsibility for this latest episode. “Rukban is Syrian people on Syrian territory, so it is the responsibility of the Syrian government and the U.N. and the international community,” Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Saturday. “We are not going to own Rukban.” He added, however, that Jordan will continue to provide water to Rukban and access to a Jordanian clinic for those in need.
“The camp’s location has pushed the warring sides to use it as a way to pressure each other, while simultaneously neglecting the camp,” said Rami Abdulrahman, who heads the Observatory. Conditions will only worsen as the winter approaches, the U.N. children’s agency warned earlier this month. The Syrian government authorized the U.N. to deliver aid to Rukban two weeks ago, which would have been the first U.N. delivery to the camp made through Syria. However, the joint U.N. and Syrian Arab Red Crescent convoy did not arrive Thursday as promised, and has been indefinitely delayed. Damascus-based U.N. official Fadwa Abed Rabou Baroud said the convoy was delayed for logistical and security reasons. Meanwhile, the camp’s residents are running out of food and medicine, the majority surviving off one small meal a day, said Abdul-Fattah al-Khaled, the director of a school in Rukban. Local merchants have hiked up the cost of supplies.
UK faces prospect of recession and downgrade By PAN PYLAS Associated Press
LONDON — Britain faces the prospect of an immediate and prolonged recession, spiking unemployment and inflation if it crashes out of the European Union in March with no deal on future relations, a leading credit ratings agency warned Tuesday.
Around the World
In a wide-ranging report, Standard & Poor’s said a “nodeal Brexit could push the U.K. economy into a moderate recession and lower the economy’s long-term growth potential.” In 2019, for example, it predicts the British economy will shrink 1.2 percent if no deal is agreed, against the growth of 1.3 percent that it expects if a deal is reached.
The report says failure to work out a deal would result in a 5.5 percent decline in Britain’s economy over three years relative to current expectations, and adds that most of the loss would “likely be permanent.” Though S&P said its base case remains that Britain and the EU will come to some sort of agreement over their future economic relationship, it said it sees an “increasing risk that the U.K. will secede from the EU and, importantly, the EU single market, without any deal at the end of March.” When Britain triggered the two-year timetable to leave the European Union in the wake of June 2016 referendum on Brexit, this October’s summit of EU leaders was supposed to be the moment a deal would be reached to give parliaments time to pass it into law ahead of the March departure. But the summit yielded little amid disagreements on how to make sure a physical border is not reimposed between EU member Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. S&P is clearly worried that in a no-deal scenario, tariffs would be placed on British exports, border checks would be reinstalled, and restrictions could hit travelers and workers. Though the same would apply for European products
crossing the English Channel, most economists agree that Britain would face a bigger hit proportionately. “Contingency plans are unlikely to insulate companies fully from market volatility, legal and regulatory uncertainty, border delays, rising input costs and tariffs, and weakening competitiveness and operating performance in many sectors,” the report said. S&P also warned that crashing out of the EU could see unemployment in Britain spike sharply to 7.4 percent by 2021 from the current fourdecade low of 4 percent and that inflation would more or less double to 4.7 percent by the middle of next year. House prices, it said, could drop by 10 percent by 2020 and the average household would be 2,700 pounds ($3,200) worse off in the years 2019-2021. S&P added that a no-deal Brexit would “likely” see Britain’s credit rating “lowered.” In his annual budget statement Monday, Treasury chief Philip Hammond conceded that a failure to reach a deal with the EU could lead to a nasty economic reaction. He insisted, though, that he expects a deal to be signed. Even those pro-Brexit proponents who are more sanguine than Hammond about the prospect of no deal think the British economy will encounter at least short-term turbulence.

YAOUNDE, Cameroon — An American missionary died in northwestern Cameroon after being shot in the head Tuesday amid fighting between armed separatists and soldiers, the director of the regional hospital said. Charles Trumann Wesco, a missionary from the U.S. state of Indiana who had been in the region for two weeks, was rushed to the hospital in Bamenda after he was gravely wounded while in his car, hospital director Kingue Thomson Njie said. “He died in our hospital after all attempts to save his life,” Njie told The Associated Press. Wesco’s wife and eight children were still in Bamenda, he said. It was unclear if any of them were harmed or if someone else was with him in the car. The missionary’s brother is a state lawmaker in Indiana. Republican Rep. Tim Wesco confirmed his older brother’s death and said, “He loved the Lord. He loved people. The Lord giveth. The Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Bamenda is in Cameroon’s Northwest Region, the restive English-speaking area where armed separatists have been fighting to create an independent state. Fighting between armed groups and the military is ongoing. Regional Gov. Deben Tchoffo said armed groups staged attacks to stop the reopening of the University of Bamenda, and the military fought back Tuesday. He said Wesco might have been caught in the crossfire. Military spokesman Col. Didier Badjeck told the AP the military killed at least four suspects in Wesco’s death and arrested many others. He did not specify if the people detained were military personnel or separatists. Cameroon’s military said last week after launching attacks on suspected separatist training grounds that “many have been killed.” The attacks happened the day after President Paul Biya was declared the winner of a seventh term. The increased violence began after the government clamped down on demonstrations by English-speaking teachers and lawyers protesting what they called their marginalization by Cameroon’s French-speaking majority. Armed factions emerged after the government crackdown and have been using violence to push for an independent state they call “Ambazonia.” Protests against the 85-year-old Biya’s Oct. 7 re-election have been ongoing.
Colombia reopens probe into US coal company for militia ties BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombian authorities confirmed Tuesday that they have reopened an investigation into whether an Alabama-based coal company financed a paramilitary group during the South American nation’s bloody civil conflict. The chief prosecutor’s office said the investigation into the Colombian subsidiary of Drummond Co. Inc. is focusing on irregular payments allegedly made to a contractor, Jose Blanco, who was convicted in 2013 in the killing of two union leaders who worked at Drummond. They were sentenced to 38 years in prison. Accusations have long swirled that Drummond financed an umbrella paramilitary group, but U.S. courts have repeatedly ruled against the families of the Colombian victims. Authorities declined to provide details on why the probe was being reopened now. The Colombian newspaper El Tiempo first reported the investigation. Drummond issued a statement Tuesday denying the accusation and vowing to cooperate fully with any probe. “The company reiterates that it has never supported illegal armed groups,” the statement said. Terry Collingsworth, a lawyer representing relatives of those killed by right-wing militias during the conflict, said the new investigation is a “first step” toward holding Drummond officials accountable and paying reparations. “Justice is coming,” he said. Drummond has been operating in Colombia for several decades and is one of the nation’s biggest coal exporters. In repeated lawsuits, human rights activists and victim relatives have alleged that Drummond hired militias to silence union activists and suspected leftists. Colombia’s conflict between leftist rebels, the state and paramilitary groups left at least 250,000 dead, 60,000 missing and millions displaced over more than five decades. Drummond is not the first U.S. corporation to be accused of financing paramilitary groups. Cincinnati-based Chiquita Brands International pleaded guilty to paying right-wing militias in 2007, saying it was extorted and paid out of fear of violent retaliation. In August, Colombian prosecutors announced that they had charged 13 Chiquita employees with aiding a death squad which murdered hundreds of people. Blanco, the convicted Drummond contractor, ran a food services concession for the company and told The Associated Press in a jailhouse interview in 2011 that senior management had ordered the two union organizers killed. Union leaders Valmore Locarno, 42 and Victor Hugo Orcasita, 36, worked in a Drummond mine in the northern state of Cesar and were killed in 2001 by paramilitaries as they returned from a shift. El Tiempo reported that eight Drummond executives will be summoned to explain unusually high payments made to Blanco through his food company.
Brazil’s anti-corruption judge considers joining Bolsonaro RIO DE JANEIRO — The Brazilian judge at the center of a sprawling investigation into kickbacks to politicians is considering joining the government of President-elect Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro was elected Sunday and will take office Jan. 1. He said during a recent interview that he would invite Judge Sergio Moro to be his justice minister or fill a future vacancy on the supreme court. In a statement to The Associated Press on Tuesday, Moro said such an invitation “would be the object of careful discussion and reflection.” The statement mentioned both possibilities but did not specify which he might consider. Launched in 2014, the “Operation Car Wash” investigation has led to the jailing of many of the country’s top businessmen and politicians. That includes jailed ex-President Luiz Inacio da Silva, convicted by Moro. — The Associated Press

Want a crisp and moist turkey with mahogany skin? No sweat
Moose Meat Meat Loaf, a truly Alaskan meal NIKISKI, ALASKA (formally North Kenai) 1967 TO 2018 I arrived in Kenai, Alaska, with three kids in July 1967. I did not know anything about shooting, skinning, gutting moose or how to go fishing for salmon. I learned quickly from the best. At one time “in my other life” here in Alaska, there were eight hungry people in the family. I cooked moose meat and fish for all our main meals. This farm gal from Colorado — who had only eaten beef all her life — learned from the friendly homestead women and men how to prepare moose and fish — from gutting and skinning to cutting into meal-sized proportions and grinding the tough parts of moose into moose burger. Our moose meat grinder was a big hand grinder. Being the creatures of invention to survive in Alaska and save the arm, a big drill was used to turn the crank. This is where the welder friends came in handy! Formerly used for grinding, sanding and polishing pipe after the welders were through with their part of the job on the platforms, the grinder was nailed to a big stump and the drill shaft was used for the handle of the wonderful big meat grinder. It did the job quickly! The grinder was passed around to everyone we knew who needed to grind moose meat. Someone owned it at one time but it eventually became a community moose meat grinder. Whenever someone shot a moose in our big circle of families, it was a group project and the meat was divided up according to how many helped in the process and how many were in the family. We were never without moose meat in our freezers. This all happened after electricity was provided to the Kenai Peninsula. The dads did the gutting and skinning; the kids watched so they could be the next generation of moose meat providers for their families. The moms did most of the wrapping as the dads cut up the big hunks of steaks and roasts for the size of the various families involved. Then it was up to the dads to grind the tough parts of the moose in the community grinder. Sometimes there were pieces of tough moose that caused the grinder to whirl around the stump that it was attached to. Most of the time it took two or three dads to hold down the grinder stump, all with big smiles on their faces. We learned eventually to cut those tough pieces in smaller chunks for easier grinding. When it came time to prepare the moose, it was treated like a big family gathering. There were four to six families in our group of moose meat and fish preparers. All of us had kids from ages 12 years to 2-3 months. A big bonfire was built and kept blazing through out the night and into the next day. Sometimes there was lots of snow — sometimes it was in a nice warm fall day. A big group get-together was important to all of us, as we all were away from our relatives and far from home. Those were happy times I will never forget, and I formed friends forever from that community effort. I also learned a lot about surviving in Alaska. I would not trade it for anything on earth. Fishing was the same. At the time snagging was approved and we all did our share of it. We canned fish and moose. We froze fish and moose. We smoked moose and fish. We also shared with older people who were not able to hunt or fish any longer. And we ate very well all winter because of what was provided for us by this wonderful big state of Alaska. Nothing was wasted!
Tips for moose meat: When grinding your own moose meat: For every 4 to 5 pounds of moose, grind 1/4 pound (one cube) frozen butter or Oleo margarine. I do not recommend the tallow that you can buy at the store — or could. It is old; it will taste old and has who knows what in it. It will ruin your great moose burger. The very best moose burger in the world is pure ground moose with frozen butter ground in it. Wrap the meat tightly and then wrap again. Seal it if you have a sealer. Freezer burnt moose meat is terrible! AND wasteful. My daughter Gail and her husband lived on a homestead and moose and fish was there main meal also. See ANNIE, page A8

Unless you have access to multiple ovens, only a very large turkey will do when you’ve got a crowd coming to dinner. But finding a container large enough to brine a gargantuan bird can be tricky, and turning the bird in the oven (our usual method for evenly cooked meat) can be tricky. We wanted the Norman Rockwell picture of perfection: a crisp, mahogany skin wrapped around tender, moist meat. And it had to be easy to prepare in a real home kitchen. We chose a Butterball turkey, which has already been brined for juicy flavor (a kosher bird, which has been salted, works well, too). A combination of high and low heat produced a tender, juicy bird with deeply browned skin. We boosted the savory flavor with the addition of onion, carrot, and celery, and a

We also drizzled melted butter over the dressing before baking it, which helped crisp the top. Instead of oven drying in step 3, you can let the cut cornbread stale overnight at room temperature.
Cornbread and sausage stuffing is a compelling alternative to the usual bread-based dish. But the recipes we tried all called for store-bought cornbread, which had a fluffy texture that resulted in mushy stuffing. We’d have to make the cornbread from scratch. We began with our favorite cornbread recipe: Combine cornmeal with HOMEMADE CORNBREAD flour, leavener, salt, and sugar (which DRESSING we omitted) before whisking in eggs, Servings: 10-12 buttermilk, milk, and melted butter.

for mashed potatoes and stuffing, too), but this key part of any holiday feast is often left to the last minute, frantically cobbled together once the bird emerges from the oven. Our make-ahead gravy relieves some of the stress of holiday hosting and even boasts bigger turkey flavor than your typical gravy recipe. Good gravy comes from good stock, so we started by roasting turkey parts with chopped carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Once the meat was deeply browned and the vegetables caramelized, we transferred everything to a Dutch oven. Chicken broth and white wine plus some sprigs of thyme promised flavorful, savory complexity. Following a lengthy simmer, we strained out the solids and proceeded with our gravy making (though the stock can be refrigerated or frozen for later use). We used the stock’s fat to build a roux, browning a cup of flour in the heated fat before whisking in the stock. The finished gravy boasted all the body of a traditional preparation, but it was ready with time to spare and offered incredible meaty depth. If you wish to make this gravy at the same time as your turkey, you may add the giblets and neck along with the thighs or wings. Discard the strong-tasting liver before using the giblets. For more flavor, after roasting the turkey, skim the drippings from the pan and slowly add them to the gravy (tasting as you go so the gravy does not become overly salty). Makes about 2 quarts Start to finish: 4 hours 30 minutes 6 turkey thighs, trimmed, or 9 wings, separated at the joints Reserved turkey giblets and neck, optional 2 medium carrots, chopped coarse 2 medium celery ribs, chopped coarse 2 medium onions, chopped coarse 1 head garlic, halved

Reduce to gentle simmer and cook until broth is brown and flavorful and measures about 8 cups when strained, about 1 1/2 hours. Strain broth through fine-mesh strainer into large container, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids. Let strained turkey broth settle (if necessary), then spoon off and reserve 1/2 cup of fat that has risen to top (add butter as needed if short on turkey fat). Heat fat in Dutch oven over mediumhigh heat until bubbling. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking constantly, until well browned, 3 to 7 minutes. Slowly whisk in turkey broth and bring to boil.

Undefeated Rams headline NFL trade deadline By TERESA M. WALKER AP Pro Football Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The NFL’s lone undefeated team has just made an already dominant defensive front even deeper. The Los Angeles Rams swapped a pair of draft picks for Jaguars pass rusher Dante Fowler on Tuesday, adding the third overall pick in 2015 to a defense already stocked with Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh, Michael Brockers and Mark Barron for the most surprising move at the NFL trade deadline. Denver sent wide receiver Demaryius Thomas to Houston in a deal giving the Broncos some salary cap relief, and Philadelphia gave Carson Wentz another
target picking up receiver Golden Tate from Detroit. Washington added safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix , while Green Bay shipped Ty Montgomery to Baltimore two days after fumbling a kickoff late against the Rams. The Rams gave up a third-round pick in 2019 and a fifth-rounder in 2020 for Fowler, who is a free agent at the end of this season. Fowler became expendable with Yannick Ngakoue’s success, and the Jaguars already opted in 2017 not to pick up the fifth-year option on Fowler’s rookie deal. Fowler has two sacks in seven games while playing behind Ngakoue. With the Broncos at 3-5, Denver general manager John Elway made a move to clear both some salary cap space and more playing time for some
of his younger receivers. Thomas has a salary cap figure of $15.53 million for 2019, the last year of his deal, while rookies Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton and second-year Tim Patrick are much cheaper. The Texans (5-3) have won five straight to take the lead in the AFC South and had to replace Will Fuller who tore a knee ligament i n a win over Miami last week. Houston sent a 2019 fourth-round pick to Denver with the teams swapping seventh-rounders in next year’s draft. Thomas is a nine-year veteran with 36 catches for 402 yards this season. Elway said the Texans beat out three or four other teams for the veteran. “It’s never easy when you trade a guy that’s been a household name
around here for a long time and done a lot of great things, not only on the football field but also in the community, and is a good man,” Elway said. “Plus, it’s a good spot for Demaryius. He’s going to a good football team that’s in a pennant race. So, it’ll be good for him, too.” The defending Super Bowl champions Eagles (4-4) have their bye this week and could lose Tate after this season if he leaves in free agency. “We’re not going to sit on our hands,” Eagles personnel boss Howie Roseman said. “It’s hard to find really good players and this is a really good player. The message to our players, our coaches and our fans is that our foot is always going to be on the gas.” Tate, 30, has 44 catches for 517
yards and three touchdowns this season and joins an offense that already has Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Jordan Matthews and tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert. Tate can help the Eagles be less predictable with his ability to play in the slot. He averaged 93 catches, 1,056 yards receiving and five TDs the past four seasons in Detroit after spending his first four with Seattle. If Tate leaves after the season, Philadelphia likely would receive a compensation pick. Tate wrote on Twitter : “It’s been real DETROIT! I’ll love ya forever. Philly Philly let’s get it!!” He then posted a GIF of fictional Philly icon Rocky Balboa jumping up and down on the steps of the Art Museum with the caption: “Mood.”

PITTSBURGH — Jordan Eberle scored twice in the second period to help the New York Islanders pull away from the Pittsburgh Penguins for a 6-3 victory Tuesday night. The Penguins held a ceremony before the game to honor the victims of Saturday’s synagogue shooting in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Squirrel Hill. It included an 11-second moment of silence in memory of the 11 people slain. Eberle scored his second and third goals for the Islanders, who swept a three-game road trip. Brock Nelson scored his sixth of the season and fifth goal in five games, while Tom Kuhnhackl, who won two Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh, scored his first as an Islander.

Nikiski graduate shines in goal Thompson helps tie top team in country Staff report Peninsula Clarion
Rachel Thompson, a 2015 graduate of Nikiski High School, earned her second Pac12 Goalkeeper of the Week honor on Tuesday. Thompson, a redshirt junior, was in goal this past week as Washington State defeated Cal 4-2 and drew 1-1 with No. 1 Stanford after two overtimes. Against the top-ranked Cardinal, Thompson had nine
saves in net, tying a career high. In just the second minute, Stanford had a two-woman breakaway but Thompson was able to stop it. Plays like that helped the Cougars get their first points against a No. 1-ranked team after not getting any points in the previous eight attempts. Stanford was held to just one point in the standings in conference play for the first time in two seasons. Against Cal, Thompson had 10 saves in getting her sixth career victory.

CLEVELAND — Rodney Hood scored a season-high 26 points, Cedi Osman added 20 and Cleveland ended its sixgame losing streak to start the season, beating the Atlanta Hawks 136-114 on Tuesday night in the Cavaliers’ first game since coach Tyronn Lue was fired. The Cavs came in as the NBA’s only winless team, and Lue paid the price for club’s slow start. But with Larry Drew serving as Cleveland’s “acting” coach while he tries to get the team to restructure his contract, the Cavs played a complete game — Cleveland had seven players in double figures — and avoided their first 0-7 start since 1995-96. RAPTORS 129, 76ERS 112 TORONTO (AP) — Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points, Pascal Siakam had 15 points and a careerhigh 15 rebounds, and Toronto bounced back from its first loss of the season by routing Philadelphia 129-112, handing the 76ers their 12th consecutive defeat north of the border.

should be looking into and talking about?” Q: Depending on the statewide election results, the District 31 Representative will caucus with either a majority or minority caucus. In either scenario, how do you see yourself working with the caucus as well as the House in general? A: “Regardless of what happens whether I’m in the majority or the minority does not change my role as a rep of the people of district 31. I will represent them to the best of my ability. That’s not dependent on being in the majority or the minority. “One mindset I have is not to feel like I’m in a position to have to beg for the crumbs from the table. “I believe that every elected official comes into Legislature at the same level. They were voted in by their constituents. Whether a majority or minority, we all carry the same weight and we should approach each other with that same respect, because the voters put them there as their leader. “I think that level of respect regardless off party regardless of majority or minority will create an avenue of respect and trust where we can work together for what’s best for Alaska.” Q: Will your votes be dictated by the caucus leadership or will you put the concerns of the district first? A: “Absolutely the district.” Q: If future budgets require deep cuts to existing state services and programs, name three hard cuts you would propose or support to balance the budget. If you are not willing to support those cuts, how would you find the revenue to continue those programs? A: “I have not thought about any specific areas to cut because we need essential services. We’ve made it clear as Alaskans that services provided are vital to us. “What I would like to look at is the efficiencies and the waste on how we can save money to keep those services. … I did find through some of my research that there was a bill proposed in committee called The Alaska Cares. That was to combine the school health insurance programs, to consolidate that. That would have saved us millions. I need to confirm the number; it could be close to a hundred of millions. It’s safe to say millions of dollars. It wouldn’t have affected the classrooms; it wouldn’t have affected the bus schedules or anything like that. It would have helped save money just by putting the health insurance into a larger pot rather than the separate 54 school districts. “That was opposed in committee by a certain school district. It became a political issue rather than a financial issue. I don’t know what all that entails, but I’d like to move past some of these political footballs and get to some of the cost savings that is going to benefit every Alaskans.” Q: If it came down to it, though, if we’re going to have to make some really deep cuts, we’re talking billions of dollars, would you see yourself in a situation where the cuts were so deep it was time to look for new revenues with things like a personal income tax, a state sales tax, raising oil taxes, something like that? Do you envisions that scenario? A: “Should we look to new revenues? Absolutely. I think we should diversify our revenues because that’s wise financial management. But I do not include income tax or sales tax in that scenario. I do think we need to focus on building a strong economy, stabilizing our budget, cutting control of our spending, and inviting industries back to Alaska. When we create a stable environment, the economy is going to flourish. When we
help Alaskans flourish by building a strong economy, the state of Alaska will flourish as well. That doesn’t need to include a state income tax or sales.” Q: What is your strategy for winning this election? Reaching out to your political base and hoping to get sufficient turnout to win? Reaching out to all voters, including swing voters? Something else? Why? A: “I’m reaching out to every Alaskan voter who wants to see Alaska prosper and succeed. I want good things for Alaska. This is my home, and I’m not going to exclude anyone from the possibility of helping talk about our future together. “When I get elected I’m not just going to represent the
voters, the people who vote me in. I will represent every voter in this district. I take that seriously, that I don’t want to exclude anyone’s voice in this process. “The issues I have been talking about and running on are Alaska issues. They are not Republican … They affect every Alaskan. That’s what I want to do, give representation to every Alaskan. “… Yes I’m a Republican … That’s not what I’m about. I expect to be a catalyst for change and make things better for all of us and not toeing the party line. I’m an Alaskan first. I know that’s a big concern for people.”

to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. When it comes to infant mortality rates, Alaska reported 7 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2017, which is up from 6.7 between 20142016.

The report said Black and African American Alaskans had the highest average fetal death rate by race, with Reach Michael Arm- 14.7 fetal deaths per 1,000 strong at marmstrong@ live births. Cancer was the leading homernews.com.
cause of death among Alaskans in 2017, followed by diseases of the heart and unintentional injuries. In 2017, 22 percent of all cancer deaths were lung and bronchus related. Drug-induced deaths rose about 16 percent between 2016 and 2017, with 131 drug-induced deaths in 2016 and 154 in 2017. Overdoses were responsible for 92.9 percent of the drug-induced deaths in 2017, with opioids and psychostimulants being the two most common drugs involved. Of the 99 deaths caused by opioids in 2017, only 34 were caused by heroin, while fentanyl and pain relievers caused a combined 104 deaths. Life expectancy for Alaskans was 80 years, between
2015-2017. Women are expected to live about 6.5 years longer than men, with the average woman projected to live to 83.4 and the average man projected to live to 76.9, between 2015-2017. Alaska Native and American Indian residents had the lowest life expectancy of any group at 72.8 years on average. Data for the report comes from a variety of sources, including parents, doctors, midwives and other birth attendants, medical facilities and examiners, magistrates, funeral directors and the Health Analytics and Vital Records Section staff.

BALLOT MEASURE 1 THREATENS OUR ECONOMY, LAND ACCESS AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
“I think we could make some adjustments to our system, but [Ballot Measure 1] is a total overhaul and received no public input. I am voting no.”

Best friend’s loyalty may be shifting in middle school drama wife of 20 years? He has been unfaithful in the past. He has several hundred friends on there from all over the country as he travels a lot. But he not only refuses to accept my request, he also refuses to say why. I’m new to Facebook; he has been on for years. I don’t have many friends because I’ve been pretty isolated, and now I want to reconnect. But Abigail Van Buren if my own husband won’t accept my friend request, should I even bother trying to friend anyone else? Oh, and if I friend any of my old male friends, he’ll accuse ME of cheating, even though that’s his thing, not mine. -- NO FOLLOWERS IN THE WEST DEAR NO FOLLOWERS: Following your husband on Facebook is the least of your problems. You already know he is secretive and has cheated on you. If you feel isolated, you have the right to reach out to anyone your heart desires, whether they’re male or female. Oh, and one more thing. If he accuses you of
cheating, it may be because he has or is. Do you really need me to tell you that if you’re unhappy you need to talk with a licensed therapist about it? Please consider it. DEAR ABBY: Is it considered rude to stretch in public? -- STEPHANIE IN SALT LAKE CITY DEAR STEPHANIE: I suppose it depends upon what someone is stretching. If it attracts attention or causes distraction, I suppose it is rude, but I wouldn’t consider it a social transgression worthy of incarceration. A NOTE TO PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN: If your little ones will be out trick-or-treating tonight, please be sure they are supervised to assure their safety.

Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2018: This year you open up to new ideas and express more versatility. You could be pursuing whatever you find irresistible in order to demonstrate your sense of freedom. Do not turn away from what you value; you won’t always be able to retrieve it. If you are single, you might not be in the state of mind for a commitment, no matter how much you are attracted to someone. Understand what is blocking you. If you are attached, the two of you relish being together. Do not be fearful of the intensity and caring that bonds you. LEO often seems to interfere with your plans. 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 Think big, and don’t negate any possibilities. Halloween mischief might run through your day. Someone makes you rethink your connection, and he or she seems to know no limits to his or her pushing. Give yourself some time before you finalize any decisions. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might find yourself fussing over some issues that you thought were settled quite a while ago. As you might be upset, you could act unpredictably and shock others. Do you really want to shake up the status quo? Perhaps waiting a day would be smart. Tonight: Happy at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are building an even closer connection with a friend or neighbor. Perhaps you have decided to handle Halloween together or ap-

proach the night’s happenings as a team. In any case, you will feel closer to each other than you have in a while. Tonight: Let it all hang out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your sensitive side could emerge at the last minute. You might need to run off and pick up some more Halloween goodies before elves and witches drop in on you. You could be content as well as amused with the imaginative nature of the day. Tonight: Share your treats! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You love to get lots of attention. If you are involved in Halloween happenings, no matter what your role, you will do what you do well. A boss or someone you look up to becomes most unpredictable. Listen to what is being shared more openly. Tonight: Let the good times roll. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Decide how much is too much. Your sense of humor emerges when taking a look around. You appreciate the efforts that others make to be in sync with the holiday spirit. Embrace trick-or-treaters and/or the various types of get-togethers that pop up. Tonight: Enjoy the night! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You enjoy others in general. You also could be quite flattered, as someone might turn up as your secret admirer. People notice your upbeat and festive spirit, and will want to be closer to you. As a result, you will delight in the moment. Tonight: Be where the crowds are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH The mystery of someone’s costume intrigues you. Actually, much about this person intrigues

you. You believe you might know who this secretive and well-costumed person is, so be ready to reveal your guess when asked. Tonight: Cupid’s arrow might head your way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Reach out to a friend or loved one whom you don’t often get to see. The conversations between you always reflect where each of you is coming from. They’re also typically amusing. Give in to impulsiveness, and make plans to get together soon. Tonight: Let the party begin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) HHHH Defer to someone you care about. You might not be ready for everything that is happening. Still, you will make an adjustment and proceed down the right path. You will find that a loved one acts more unpredictably than usual. Tonight: Go with a close friend’s offer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others are unusually demonstrative and caring. How you handle a personal matter could radically change because of someone else’s perception of you. You can openly ask for help and expect to receive it. Two heads work better than one. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Pace yourself, as it appears that many people are seeking you out for advice and feedback. You might be flattered by all the attention and respect. Know that you deserve it. Still, at times you could feel overwhelmed and out of control. Tonight: Surprises seem to surround you.

A leftover lament Dear Heloise: My husband and I have only been married a short time, and I’ve realized that he won’t touch LEFTOVERS. How do I get my husband to eat them? -- Grace G., Shelton, Conn. Grace, put leftovers in another container, and make sure the food isn’t too dry from reheating. You also might explain the cost saving involved in eating leftovers, which are just as nutritious as they were the previous night. Hopefully this will help. -- Heloise SPEAKING OF LEFTOVERS ... Dear Heloise: Last Sunday, I made a huge amount of mashed potatoes, so needless to say, I had leftovers. What can I do with those leftover mashed potatoes? -- Jillian N., Tuttle, Okla. Jillian, I have a recipe for them from my book “In the Kitchen With Heloise.” Here it is: Leftover Mashed Potatoes Patties 1 cup mashed potatoes 1/2 cup flour 2 tablespoons baking powder 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 teaspoon salt Pepper Combine all of the ingredients, adding pepper to taste. Form into patties. Fry in olive oil on both sides until golden brown. -- Heloise P.S. Add grated cheese or minced onions for extra flavor. OUTDOOR WEDDING Dear Heloise: We’re having a small outdoor wedding, and I want to keep the wedding cake from being covered with insects. I have a net to cover the cake, but what about ants? -- Anna P., Ripley, Miss. Anna, put the cake on a table (such as a card table) and place the legs of the table in a large pan or bucket of water. Make sure the sides of the pan do not touch the table legs. This is an old hint, but it works. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I’m in middle school. “Jill” has been my best friend for 11 years. She has always been shy, while I am outgoing. Recently, she has been hanging out with the class “ho,” “Kelly,” and I’m being more and more left out. Kelly is turning Jill into a slut, too. Jill isn’t excited to hang with me anymore and prefers to be with Kelly’s friends smoking or drinking. Jill still calls us best friends, but I’m afraid she’ll betray me and tell Kelly everything we talk about. We used to make fun of Kelly for being a slut. Now I feel like I can’t open up to my best friend. It hurts to see them together and not inviting me to things. What do I do? -- TOTALLY LEFT OUT DEAR LEFT OUT: Calling a girl a slut or a “ho” is a form of bullying. It won’t bring Jill back to you or closer to you. In fact, it will likely do the opposite. Because you feel you are no longer as close to Jill as you were, recognize that it’s time to widen your circle of friends and explore activities that do not involve her or Kelly. The more friends you make, the less dependent you will be on one person. DEAR ABBY: What does it say about a man when he won’t accept a friend request on Facebook from his

Elmer and Pat Bird still sparkle after 61 years of homesteading together.
It was 1958 when Elmer Bird and his bride, Pat, arrived on the Kenai Peninsula. “Sixty one years ago today a city girl married a cowboy in Montana, and the rest is history,” Pat said. “And I followed him to Alaska and never looked back.” On Oct. 13, the couple celebrated their 61st wedding an-
niversary by gathering with friends and family at Soldotna’s Bird Homestead Golf Course. The rolling green of the 80acre, nine-hole golf course is a far cry from the landscape the Birds faced when they first got to the peninsula. “A whole lot is different from back then. I could make a long story short and it would
still be too long to tell,” Elmer said. When the couple first arrived, there were 2 feet of snow on the ground, and the only neighbors were other hardy homesteaders. For years, the couple ran cattle and horses, sourced from a local ranch in Happy Valley, Elmer said. They built a life alongside Pat’s

Two decades ago, the couple decided to turn their land into the golf course. How did a homesteading cowboy end up becoming a golf pro? “Oh, I’m no pro. I just built the course!” Elmer said. “Pat, she golfs all the time, and I used to. But I’m from the See BIRD, page A2

mother, father and brother, who were also homesteading in the Funny River area. Pat said she has fond memories of their homesteading days. “I love the homestead,” she said. “Not many women did. They hated it. But I was one of the rare ones that did. And I still love it, and it will always be home. It got into my soul.”

wasn’t a natural golfer. Accustomed to riding a horse or driving a pickup, walking the course was a new experience for her. “The first time I ever played golf was out at Birch Ridge … I had never walked that far in my life,” she said. “The first time I found out how far I had walked I called them up and asked if I could bring a saddle horse out there. They not only said ‘no’ but ‘hell no.’ So I never golfed
again for years until I had my own place.” Cutting a golf course out of a wilderness homestead is no easy task. “Took a lot of help from my two boys and my brotherin-law. We already had the equipment, so we just jumped in and got it done. But it’s no country club,” Elmer said. Pat said she and Elmer wanted to create an inclusive environment that avoids the pretensions of a country club.
“It is a country golf course, and the people who have come here are usually just down-home folks,” she said. “This is a place for them, and we love them because of that. “Doesn’t matter if you’re a doctor, lawyer or the guy moving the dirt down the road. It makes no difference. Everyone is welcome out here for the fun of the course. And if you want to pretend you hit the ball like Tiger Woods, then that’s just fine with us.”
Roughly 140 kids broken into 42 teams participated in the competition. Students from fourth through eighth grade, as well as a few high schoolers and third-graders, participated. “One of cool things about Mind A-Mazes is there is no patter or blueprint on how do to it. So each machine looks
different and is unique and creative,” Bailey said. “They have to think outside the box and solve problems as they come up. “You can just feel the thought energy in the room here today.” West Homer Elementary School’s “Pickle Potamuses” team took first place in the
Junior division this year, followed by team “SMART” from Seward Elementary. The from Seward Middle School were named the Intermediate Division champions. Nikiski Middle/High Schools’ “SOS” team took the Judges Choice in the Intermediate Division.

The machines had to perform simple tasks like ringing a bell, stretching a rubber band, or popping an inflated glove. The teams either built their machines before coming to the competition, or assembled them from the parts they made prior to coming to the meet. They then explained how their device works to the judges. The judges collaborate with each other and give as many points for the tasks the device accomplishes in a set period of time. Students only get one chance to make it work. Judges then move on to a spontaneous challenge that accounts for 25 percent of teams’ overall scores.
