In the news Walker asks Alaskans to remove his signs after campaign ends JUNEAU — Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is asking supporters to remove his campaign signs from public view.

Walker last week ended his re-election bid, days after his lieutenant governor, Byron Mallott, resigned over what Walker described as an inappropriate overture to a woman.

In a statement Friday, Walker said any reserved ad space that can’t be reimbursed will be used to make clear that he has ended his campaign and to thank supporters.

Walker and Mallott remain on the general election ballot because the deadline for candidates to withdraw was in September.

Walker has said he thinks Democrat Mark Begich would be better for Alaska than Republican Mike Dunleavy.

A large Walker Mallott sign stood Friday morning at Mallott’s home in Juneau.

Mallott was replaced as lieutenant governor by Valerie Davidson.

Earthquake shakes towns in Interior FAIRBANKS — An earthquake has shaken several communities in Alaska’s interior region, but no damage has been reported.

The Alaska Earthquake Center says the magnitude 5.3 earthquake hit at about 9 a.m.

Saturday approximately 13 miles from the village of Tanana. It was felt by residents in Fairbanks, North Pole, Healy and Manley Hot Springs.

The center says there were no immediate reports of damage.

Fairbanks is interior Alaska’s largest city, with a population of about 31,000. It’s roughly 360 miles north of Anchorage.

The Alaska Earthquake Center says the quake struck at a depth of about 10 miles.

Galvin, Young debate in Anchorage US House candidates spar over immigration, climate

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — Republican U.S. Rep. Don Young likened the caravan of Central American migrants moving toward the U.S. border to an invasion during a debate in Alaska’s U.S. House race.

Immigration was one of the hot-button issues in Friday night’s debate with independent Alyse Galvin, along with climate change and charged political rhetoric. The debate, held in Anchorage, was aired across the state.

In response to a question about the migrants, Young said President Donald Trump is right: “This is an invasion,” he said.

Young said Congress hasn’t addressed immigration laws or built a wall on the Mexico border.

“But we have to recognize, this is a challenge to the U.S. Rep. Don Young, left, and Alyse Galvin are shown prior to a debate Friday in Anchorage. Galvin, an independent who won people of the United States, the Alaska Democratic primary, is challenging Young, a Republican who isthe longest serving member of the House.

If elected, what would your first priority be?

A long-term fiscal plan because everything follows from that.

What ideas do you have to offset the state budget deficit?

One is that I think we need to invest in programs that actually enable Alaska to grow.

For instance, I support the state getting involved in infrastructure that creates residential broadband. I know we have on the peninsula about a hundred thousand to help get that going, but that’s not sufficient. And I think when we invest in things like residential broadband and not paying for peoples’ residential broadband, but investing in

the infrastructure, then what you get is telemedicine, which reduces health care costs. You Shawn Butler get e-commerce because people can get online and sell their stuff online and market. And you get distance education which helps reduce the cost of education. And you get happy people because they can communicate with their loved ones more easily.

If we invest in infrastructure like that, then people can use it to make money and we can See SHAWN, page A2

If elected, what would your first priority be?

The first priority would be helping secure our population from the criminal issues that we have. We need to repeal SB 91 and redo it with effective solutions. There are some things in SB 91 that are worthwhile to keep, but there are others that are not. The public is feeling the ineffectiveness of those policies. The first thing is to help us feel safer.

What ideas do you have to offset the state budget deficit?

I think the state deficit is a problem of spending, not a problem of resources and revenue. So, to offset the deficit we need to reduce our spending, and that needs to be a

conversation that’s different than it’s been in the past. We talk about cuts and we draw our battle lines and Ben Carpenter those on one side think we need to cut services and those on the other that says we don’t need to cut services and it becomes an interesting, tractable problem. What we need is to have a conversation about how to do things more efficiently, to lean our government down, to lean our organizations down and lean our services down so they don’t cost as much.

Museum links Matisse, Alaska Native works

By TERRY TANG Associated Press

PHOENIX — Nearly 64 years after his death, Henri Matisse has become one of the few non-Native Americans to have an exhibition at a Phoenix museum dedicated to Native American culture.

The little-known intersection of one of the 20th century’s greatest artists and Inuit people in the Arctic region is at the heart of a show opening Monday at the Heard Museum.

“It’s a story I didn’t know much about until 1998 when I became friendly with a member of the Matisse family,” said museum director David Roche.

“It truly took several years to absorb it all. It spans centuries, cultures and continents.”

“Yua: Henri Matisse and the Inner Arctic Spirit ” will feature Matisse’s portraits of the Inuit people, which have never been displayed in the U.S. But the French artist, who died in 1954, will share the spotlight with Alaska Natives who influenced him. Yup’ik masks made by Alaskan Natives, some of which were collected

by Matisse’s son-in-law during World War II, will be just as much a part of the exhibit.

The Heard is the only place showcasing the unconventional pairing.

“We have a lot of historic firsts in this particular work,” said curator Sean Mooney.

“We’re kind of doing an exhibition within an exhibition by having these two parallel displays of historic Yup’ik masks and this very specific historic

residents over the course of the next week. The bags were purchased with more than $7,000 in donations from community nonprofits.

“We’re so thrilled with the generous response we received,” Soldotna City Manager Stephanie Queen said.

body of work by Matisse.”

Matisse is more widely lauded as a pioneer in Fauvism — a style characterized by vivid colors and less controlled brush strokes. But he became interested in indigenous cultures in the 1940s. Son-in-law Georges Duthuit had acquired an array of the masks and other materials while living in New York City as World War II broke out, Mooney said. In 1946, Duthuit returned to France with his col-

lection.

He and Matisse’s daughter, Marguerite, suggested Matisse do three illustrations for a proposed book on the Arctic people. He made 50.

Matisse, according to Mooney, looked at masks made of wood, feathers and other materials, and two books with photographs of Inuit men and women. The museum will have several black-and-white portraits, including charcoal drawings and lithographs. Taken

with the culture, Matisse even began referring to any portrait he did as a mask.

“With a stroke, he created what he called masks,” said cocurator Chuna McIntyre, who is Central Yup’ik. “He got the essence. It’s amazing — pared down, quiet interior, personal creations.”

Villagers would traditionally tell stories with the masks through song or dance, paying respect to “yua.” According

Commerce, Alaskans for Litter Prevention and Recycling and the Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District each donated to Soldotna. Central Peninsula Hospital also donated and purchased 800 bags to hand out.

The bags will be distributed at Fred Meyers, Safeway, Walgreens and Sportsmen Warehouse over the course of the next week before the ban comes into effect on Thursday.

“The first box came in yesterday,” Queen said. “…We’ll work with all these partners to

make sure everyone gets the bags later this week.”

The ordinance banning plastic bags was passed in April and since then several local businesses have start the transition to paper or reusable bags.

Under the ordinance, stores may offer paper bags for free or for an additional price at the discretion of the business.

Not all plastic bags are banned, though. Bags used to purchase bulk or produce items, contain dampness or leaks, like with frozen foods or flowers, or used to protect

prepared and baked goods are still allowed. Also newspaper, laundry, dry cleaning bags and garbage bags are still allowed.

Soldonta is joining several Alaskan communities in banning single-use plastic bags, including Wasilla, Palmer, Cordova and Bethel.

Seward recently passed legislation to ban plastic bags and Homer will place the bag ban question on the ballot in Oct. 2019.

nent fund — funding government.

How can you, or the legislature, help cope with the ongoing opioid crisis?

Well, I have had a couple conversations down here, and I visited one of the prisons down here, and I’ve come to believe and understand that our judicial system is not using rehabilitation … in the opioid crisis as a mechanism for dealing with crime. There are many organizations down here on the Kenai that exist to alleviate the opioid crisis — to help people get off of drugs. But there’s waiting list for people to participate, and they have a lack of funding. So, I think we need to have a discussion — if we’re going to solve the crime problem, we have to deal with the drug problem.

To deal with the drug problem we got to deal with getting people off of drugs and setting them on a better path.

That being said, that’s a personal choice. We cannot force people to rehabilitate themselves, but we can do a better job at making those services available. I think there’s a vested interest in the people to have some state support or state funding for rehabilitative services. I think it is also in the best interest of the donors and patrons of society to fund this. So I’m looking in new business interests.

People on drugs and heroin cost our businesses money.

So why don’t we pool our resources as business owners and help solve this problem. We don’t have to look to the government to solve our problems. We can do it ourselves. I think if we would just have the discussion, we could figure out a way to fund this ourselves without having the government do it.

We overestimate how much it costs to do government. Every time the government gets involved, things are more inefficient. So there’s plenty of room for us to reduce the cost of government and its inefficiencies. If we need to have discussions on which services to cut, we should do that, but we need to have the conversation about being more efficient in what we do first. Now, that being said, with the price of oil being back up where it’s at, I anticipate if everything stays the same or increases, we’re not going to have a deficit this next session. The pressure will be off, so to speak, on reducing the cost of government. I intend to keep that pressure up as best I can.

Where do you see the future of the PFD? I hope that we can codify something in the constitution that requires the vote of the people before the Permanent Fund Dividend checks portion of the fund gets spent by the government on government. I think the people need to weigh in before that happens. It’s not just a political decision. I would be in favor of codifying something in the constitution to protect it, and return to the formula that is used — not a political arbitrary decision on how much of the fund to use to fund the government. Philosophically, I’m against a ‘free source of money’ funding government. People need to have a dog in the fight funding their government, otherwise the government is always going to rise the highest level of funding … Philosophically, I’m against the PFD — the perma-

to the Yup’ik culture, “yua” means spirit but can also refer to the spirit inside living creatures, inanimate objects and their connection to each other.

“Everything that exists in this universe has the potential of yua because it exists here. That’s an old concept in Yup’ik,” McIntyre said.

“There’s a whole gravity to it.

Yua — it’s in a being, it’s in a person.”

Yup’ik Eskimos comprise one of 11 distinct cultures among Alaska Natives in the southwest part of the state, according to the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Marge Nakak, a cultural host at the center, said masks are traditionally worn at annual festivals between Native villages during a gathering known as a potlatch.

Historically, the masks were discarded after a ceremony.

Sometimes they were burned or left on the tundra, Nakak said.

Some American Indian cultures would not consider showing ceremonial items such as masks because they consider them to be living beings not meant for display. Yup’ik people, on the other hand, tend to be more transparent, McIntyre said. He said the masks always have been intended to be shared in public performance.

“We Yup’iks feel in terms of museum collections, museums are caretakers of our civilizations’ treasures. That’s important to say,” McIntyre said.

In the early 20th century, the masks and Native cultures in general gained a following among traders and collectors who were interested in pres-

ervation, Mooney said. Many masks ended up in museums.

George Gustav Heye, whose vast collection of Native American objects shaped the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, was one of the leaders in bringing artifacts to New York City, where they came into the orbit of the French intelligentsia.

Masks typically are created in pairs or other groupings to represent symbolic relationships such as male and female, or night and day. So, the show will mean reuniting masks that have been separated for, in some cases, a century, museum director Roche said. After the exhibition closes Feb. 3, some masks will go on display in Alaska.

Some people may question giving space at a museum for American Indian artists to a white, European one. But Roche said the exhibition has immense support because of its duality.

“The Heard has been a leader in presenting American Indian art with great sensitivity,” Roche said. “I think it’s meaningful that we are working in this way. I think stories, to be told well, often have to be told from multiple perspectives.”

Matisse will likely draw people who normally wouldn’t go to the Heard and expose them to Alaskan Native cultures.

“That’s wonderful because the only thing that is taught in the Lower 48 states is that Eskimos live in igloos. Period,” said Nakak, of the Alaska Native Heritage Center. “That’s it.”

Around Alaska Bethel Airport runway repairs planned BETHEL — Plans are underway to repair a runway at the Bethel Airport that has been damaged by melting permafrost.

KYUK reports the state Department of Transportation plans to begin the work next summer.

The job will include repairing dips on the parallel runway caused by the melting permafrost, and repaving the surface.

Some lights along the edge of the runway also will be replaced.

Morgan Merritt is the Transportation Department’s construction program manager. He says the project is expected to cost up to $10 million.

Merritt says the runway is being repaired in the summer because it’s used more heavily in winter. Completion of the job is expected next fall.

grow as a state.

Where do you see the future of the PFD? We should get our full dividend. I think it’s important that it stimulates our economy when it comes out.

I know there are people in my district that depend on it, not just for TV sets, but for staying in their homes. I’ve talked to several people in my district who said it makes a difference between whether they can live in their house or not live in their house. I think it’s an important piece of sharing in the resources the state has to offer, so I’d like to see people get their full dividend.

How can you, or the legislature, help cope with the ongoing opioid crisis?

It’s a complex problem, but one we have to address — the public safety system that arrests and put people in jail that do in fact sell the drugs, push the drugs. We want to be very hard on drug dealers.

I want to monitor physicians that over prescribe. The other thing we have to do is invest in the mental health facilities in our state. They are so pathetic. The people that get hooked, I don’t think a majority of them want to be hooked.

I think we’ve got to provide resources. It does no good to put them in jail. We’ve got to provide the resources to help them get off their addictions.

Ronald Kurt Hoyem 1952 - 2018

Ronald Kurt Hoyem left us October 5th to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He passed peacefully surrounded by his loving family and friends at Alaska Regional Hospital.

Ron was born December 9, 1952 in Kalispell, MT to Elaine and Randel Hoyem. He joined the Army at age 17, learning his trade of machinist in the military. He served in Vietnam, Germany, Ft. Hood TX, and Ft. Richardson AK. Ron moved to Alaska in 1977. He lived in Anchorage before moving to Kenai and he loved Alaska. As an avid outdoors man he loved hunting, fishing, snow machining,

boating and camping.

As a machinist he could build anything. His ideas were endless. Doodles and drawings covered his work space.

Ron worked as a millwright/machinist for 28 years at the Red Dog Mine, where he also proudly served on the volunteer fire dept. He retired 2 years ago.

Ron’s heart was full of love. He was always there for family and friends. Many not only considered him a friend but also a brother or uncle. He enjoyed sharing his knowledge and passion for the outdoors with his loved ones. He was dreaming of traveling to Africa with his daughter and of taking his sons to his favorite hunting and camping areas in Alaska.

Ron was also known for his inventions, and he was a lifetime member of the NRA.

Ron is survived by his wife KimMarie, his children Jason (Sarah) Hoyem, Rachael Hoyem, Leon (Trisha) Fyfe and his grandchildren Myriah, Noah, James, Bennett, Jameson and Caroline, his brother Dennis (Cathy) Hoyem, brother-in-law Tom Larson, sisters-in-law Marla (Dan) Brown, and Tonya Piaskowski, and nieces and nephews.

What Others Say

Future generations will pay the price for our inaction on climate change The effects of climate change are coming harder and faster, according to a recent report by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In fact, a child born today — if greenhouse gas emissions aren’t cut nearly in half before she’s a teen — will live in a world on track to irreversible damage. That catastrophe would begin just as that same child is graduating from college in 2040, far sooner than previously expected, and at a lower increase in global temperature than earlier thought. Stalling is no longer a viable strategy.

The report’s authors say if greenhouse gases continue to pollute at the rate they do now, the atmosphere will warm up by as much as 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above preindustrial levels in a generation. That would swamp coastlines, ruin crops, worsen droughts and increase the severity of hurricanes and wildfires. The report shows two things should happen: Renewable sources of energy would have to provide up to two-thirds of the world’s electricity, and coal would have to fade from roughly 40 percent today to almost nothing by 2050. “There is no way to mitigate climate change without getting rid of coal,” said Drew Shindell, an author of the report and a climate scientist at Duke University. Unfortunately, President Donald Trump mocks climate change — and as recently as his 60 Minutes interview this month, said he doubts people cause it — while planning to expand the use of coal and withdrawing from the Paris climate accords.

While combatting climate change requires global leadership, local leaders are doing what they can in its absence. Two dozen local governments, stretching from Citrus to Manatee counties, have formed the Tampa Bay Regional Resiliency Coalition, to plan for and fight climate change. This is wise, as a 2014 federal report said Tampa Bay is one of the areas of Florida most vulnerable to rising seas. Officials will deal with real-world implications of changing climate and rising water. For example, how high must a bridge be built to be usable in 70 years? Should it be built at all? Where can seawalls stem the tide of rising water?

As laudable as these local goals are, the best solution is to stop climate change before it’s too late rather than simply reacting to its effects. The winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in economics have worked on the answer. William Nordhaus of Yale has been called “the father of climate-change economics,” and his solution is a universal tax on carbon. His research established a range of potential amounts. Such a tax would provide a marketplace incentive to cut pollution and stimulate innovation without a heavy hand from government. It also recognizes that pollution has a cost, and that the polluter should bear it.

The Nobel co-winner, Paul Romer of New York University, has done research showing how governments can foster innovation. “Many people think that dealing with protecting the environment will be so costly and so hard that they just want to ignore the problem,” he said.

“They want to deny it exists; they can’t deal with it.”

He is exactly right that it is time for governments at every level to step up. Solving the problem won’t be cheap or easy, but it is possible. That child born today shouldn’t be handed a past-due bill when she reaches adulthood. The price will only get higher the longer officials wait to act. Start paying now, or be prepared to pay a crushing price later.

Trump blows the whistle on Russian cheating

Is the INF Treaty so important that the Russians should be allowed to cheat on it without consequence?

That’s the implication of the criticisms of President Donald Trump for saying that he’s pulling out of the Cold War-era arms-control agreement. Mikhail Gorbachev deemed Trump’s stated intention “unacceptable” and “very irresponsible,” although it isn’t the U.S. that has been flagrantly violating the treaty for years. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, signed in 1987, was a central achievement of the Reagan-Gorbachev diplomacy of the late 1980s. The Soviets had deployed intermediate-range SS-20 missiles that could hit NATO countries from bases in the Soviet Union. The U.S. countered by deploying its own intermediate-range missiles in Europe. At the same time, President Ronald Reagan proposed the “zero option” to eliminate such missiles from the arsenals of both countries. As he sought to save the doomed Soviet system, Gorbachev agreed.

The Russians have recently made obvious their contempt for Gorbachev’s handiwork. The State Department has determined since 2014 that Russia is in violation of the treaty, via the 9M729 ground-launched cruise missile. Tests of the noncompliant missile go back to 2008, and the Obama administration first told Congress of its concerns in 2011.

Supporters of the treaty say we should just pressure the Russians to comply rather than pull out. But when confronted with their cheating, the Russians simply deny it.

Meetings of the Special Verification Commission, the treaty’s mechanism for addressing compliance issues, have achieved nothing. The Kremlin has remained unmoved, even though we have made it clear Rich Lowry that we have them nailed. We have provided Russia the names of the companies involved in developing the missile and the coordinates of the locations of tests.

If Moscow cared to come into compliance with the treaty, it had ample opportunity, and warning. Legislation has expressed the sense of Congress that Russia’s actions have “defeated the object and purpose of the INF Treaty.” Secretary of Defense James Mattis has called the Russian cheating “untenable.” The Russians have persisted in it for the simple reason that it is in their interest. The former head of the Russian General Staff has commented that intermediate-range missiles would provide Moscow “national security assurance” — by threatening Poland, Romania and the Baltics, the missiles would “cool the heads of these states’ leaders.”

One thing that the U.S. and Russians can agree on is that it’s senseless that they are the only two countries in the world that are notionally forbidden from possessing this category of weapon. “Nowadays,” a Russian defense official complained in

2014, “almost 30 countries have such missiles in their arsenals.” China in particular is outdoing itself. The head of U.S. Pacific Command, Adm. Harry Harris, told Congress last year that the Chinese military “controls the largest and most diverse missile force in the world, with an inventory of more than 2,000 ballistic and cruise missiles. This fact is significant because the U.S. has no comparable capability due to our adherence to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia.” According to Harris, 95 percent of the Chinese missiles “would violate the INF if China was a signatory.”

Given Russian cheating, the INF treaty as a practical matter only prohibits the U.S. from having such missiles. What sense is there in that? Arms controllers often fall back on the argument that U.S. self-restraint has a symbolic effect, discouraging other countries from developing weapons by the force of our example, but this is manifestly untrue. Despite our efforts to minimize the role of nuclear weapons in international affairs, the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review notes that “since 2010, no potential adversary has reduced either the role of nuclear weapons in its national security strategy or the number of nuclear weapons it fields.”

There’s no reason to limit our capabilities and flexibility for the sake of an INF Treaty that doesn’t even constrain its other signatory.

Bomb suspect: Ex-stripper with cash problems, Trump devotion

Gunman attacks Pittsburgh synagogue, killing 11 people

By MARK SCOLFORO and MARK GILLISPIE Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — A gunman who’s believed to have spewed anti-Semitic slurs and rhetoric on social media barged into a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday and opened fire, killing 11 people in one of the deadliest attacks on Jews in U.S. history.

The 20-minute attack at Tree of Life Congregation in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood left six others wounded, including four police officers who dashed to the scene, authorities said.

The suspect, Robert Bowers, traded gunfire with police and was shot several times. Bowers, who was in fair condition at a hospital, was charged late Saturday with 29 federal counts, including hate crimes and weapons offenses. It wasn’t immediately known if Bowers has an attorney to speak on his behalf.

“Please know that justice in this case will be swift and it will be severe,” Scott Brady, the chief federal prosecutor in western Pennsylvania, said at a news conference, characteriz-

ing the slaughter as a “terrible and unspeakable act of hate.”

The mass shooting came amid a rash of high-profile attacks in an increasingly divided country, one day after a Florida man was arrested and charged with mailing a series of pipe bombs to prominent Democrats and little more than a week before the midterm elections.

The killings also immediately reignited the longstanding national debate about guns: President Donald Trump said the outcome might have been different if the synagogue “had some kind of protection” from an armed guard, while Pennsylvania’s Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf noted that once again “dangerous weapons are putting our citizens in harm’s way.”

Trump said he planned to travel to Pittsburgh, but offered no details.

Authorities say that just before 10 a.m., Bower entered the large synagogue with an assault-style rifle and three handguns. Three separate congregations were conducting Sabbath services in different areas of the large building, according to Michael Eisenberg, the imme-

diate past president of the Tree of Life. The Pennsylvania attorney general’s office said it was told by victims that a brit milah — a ritual circumcision ceremony at which a baby boy also receives his Hebrew name — was also taking place, though law enforcement officials later said no children were among the dead or wounded.

“It is a very horrific crime scene,” said a visibly moved Wendell Hissrich, the Pittsburgh public safety director.

“It’s one of the worst that I’ve seen.”

The survivors included Daniel Leger, 70, a nurse and hospital chaplain who was in critical condition after undergoing surgery, his brother, Paul Leger, told the Pittsburgh PostGazette. Daniel Leger was scheduled to lead a service Saturday morning, he said.

The mass shooting raised immediate alarm in Jewish communities around the country. Authorities in New York City, Chicago and elsewhere increased security at Jewish centers.

Bob Jones, head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh office, said that worshippers “were brutally mur-

dered by a gunman targeting them simply because of their faith,” though he cautioned the shooter’s full motive was not yet known. In a statement, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the Justice Department would file hate crime and other charges against Bowers.

Bowers, who had no apparent criminal record, expressed virulently anti-Semitic views on a social media site called Gab, according to an Associated Press review of an archived version of the posts made under his name. The cover photo for his account featured a neoNazi symbol, and his recent posts included a photo of a fiery oven like those used in Nazi concentration camps used to cremate Jews during World War II.

WASHINGTON — Cesar Sayoc is an amateur body builder and former stripper, a loner with a long arrest record who showed little interest in politics until Donald Trump came along.

On Friday, he was identified by authorities as the Florida man who put pipe bombs in small manila envelopes, affixed six stamps and sent them to some of Trump’s most prominent critics.

His arrest capped a week in which the bombs aimed at some of America’s biggest names — Obama, Clinton, De Niro — dominated the news and invited speculation about who might be responsible for them. The answer, authorities said, was Sayoc, a 56-year-old man from Aventura, Florida, who was devoted to Trump, had a history of financial problems and an extensive arrest record, including a stint on probation for making a bomb threat.

His attorney in that 2002 case, Ronald Lowy, described Sayoc as “a confused man who had trouble controlling his emotions.”

A cousin of Sayoc, Lenny Altieri, used stronger terms.

“I know the guy is a lunatic,” Altieri told The Associated Press.

“He has been a loner.”

Altieri confirmed that Sayoc had been a stripper. On an online resume, Sayoc described himself as a booker and promoter for burlesque shows.

Stacy Saccal, the general manager of the Ultra Gentlemen’s Club in West Palm Beach, said Sayoc had worked

there for about two months, first as a floor bouncer and for the past month as a disc jockey — most recently on Thursday night, hours before his arrest Friday morning.

“I didn’t know this guy was mad crazy like this,” she said Friday. “Never once did he speak politics. This is a bar. We don’t talk politics or religion in a bar, you know?”

Florida voter records show Sayoc first registered in March 2016 as a Republican and cast a ballot in that November’s presidential election.

He has been an active Trump supporter, tweeting and posting Facebook videos that appear to show him at the president’s rallies.

Sayoc’s social media accounts are peppered with memes supporting Trump, and denigrating Democrats.

Sayoc lived in a white 2002 Dodge Ram van, which was plastered with stickers supporting Trump and criticizing media outlets that included CNN, which was also targeted by mail bombs.

The van was often parked outside an LA Fitness in Aventura, backed up in a parking space under the trees for shade. Patrons say they frequently saw him in the locker room.

“He’d just be walking straight to the shower and be in the shower forever,” said Edgar Lopez, who often exercises at the gym. “I never saw him working out.”

Other times, the van was seen parked at the beach in nearby Hollywood before dawn, with Sayoc stripping down to skin-tight shorts for an outdoor shower.

torn between Islands regain some air, sea Mexico stopping, aiding access after monster storm migrant caravan

By CALEB JONES and JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER Associated Press

Some airport and shipping access has returned to a U.S. Pacific territory ravaged by a super typhoon, but tens of thousands of residents still without power and sifting through rubble face a long road to recovery.

Saipan International Airport reopened with limited service Sunday after Super Typhoon Yutu slammed the Northern Mariana Islands this week as a Category 5 storm.

A statement posted on the Facebook page of Northern Marianas Gov. Ralph Torres said the airport will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. but will receive only six international flights per day. Inbound flights are restricted to residents and humanitarian aid, the statement said.

Thursday’s storm was the strongest to hit any part of the United States this year. It ripped off roofs, overturned cars, toppled trees and killed a woman who took shelter in an abandoned building that collapsed. Others were injured, including three people who needed surgery.

The airport sustained significant damage to buildings, and several crumpled, small planes were scattered around the tarmac. Officials said the airport is still mostly without power, and the Transportation Security Administration has only one working scanning machine.

Baggage and cargo may have to be examined by hand, the statement said.

All airports on Saipan, Tinian and Rota were closed due to the storm. The airport on Tinian remains closed except to military planes. Rota’s airport is now open.

The U.S. Coast Guard said Saturday all ports in the Northern Mariana Islands have also reopened.

Commander of Coast Guard Sector Guam Capt. Christopher Chase said in a statement that crews were working to assess and restore shipping access to make sure supplies can reach the islands. The Coast Guard is also working with local officials in search and rescue operations.

and reported minimal damage to shipping lanes.

The U.S. government is sending supplies to the Northern Marianas as residents dig through the wreckage.

“The rebuilding of this island is beginning already as time waits for nobody,” Jan Reyes, who lives on the territory’s most populated island of Saipan, wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “Despite the casualties, we the people of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are resilient people.”

To help the recovery, military planes brought in food, water, tarps and other supplies.

U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman David Gervino said the agency is focused on helping restore power, opening sea and air ports, and ensuring cellphone towers can operate on emergency power until electricity returns.

Super Typhoon Yutu packed maximum sustained winds of 180 mph (290 kph) as it passed over the islands of Tinian and Saipan, the National Weather Service said. By Saturday, power was still out across Saipan, with 50,000 residents, and Tinian, with 3,000 people.

Many homes were destroyed because some families can’t afford concrete homes that conform to building codes meant to

withstand typhoon winds, said Edwin Propst, a member of the territory’s House of Representatives.

Some people build houses with concrete foundations and walls, but the structures have wooden or tin roofs.

Reyes and her family lost everything.

“Everything my family and I have bought and added to our home over 13 years laid on the flooded floor as every window in our house shattered,” Reyes wrote.

A cousin was trapped under debris for seven hours, Reyes said.

Her family rode out the storm in a hotel room, overturning a bed to create a barricade against the wind, rain and debris. When the worst passed, she said it took half an hour to navigate fallen poles and trees for what would normally be a five-minute drive to their home.

“The foundation of our culture is selflessness and family values, and this is what has always helped us get through hard times,” she wrote. “We will always remain hopeful and prepared for the worst. This is our way of life.”

Michelle Francis hid in a closet while the storm destroyed her Saipan house, saying in a Facebook message that many people lost their homes and belongings. “Now every-

one is trying to stand strong, have faith.”

People in the islands are used to riding out monster storms, but many said Yutu was the worst they have experienced.

Because of severe weather, people “listen to warnings from local officials, they take shelter when directed to do so, they stock up on supplies in advance of the storm,” Gervino said.

The territory’s only hospital, in Saipan, said it saw 133 people in its emergency room Thursday, and three patients had severe injuries that needed surgery.

Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan, the territory’s delegate to Congress, said residents will need major help and many months to recover.

FEMA has 220,000 liters of water and 260,000 meals stored on Guam for shipment to the Northern Marianas, a half-hour plane ride away.

FEMA made changes after Hurricane Maria, a Category 5 storm that struck Puerto Rico last year, creating task forces to tackle those needs.

More than 800 people were in shelters across the islands, and space was running out, officials said.

Saipan is a popular tourist destination for visitors from China and South Korea, just a few hours away by plane. Some 650,000 tourists visited in the

US tourist helps stop thief who tried to steal Magna Carta

By DANICA KIRKA Associated Press

LONDON — An American tourist from Louisiana helped stop a hammer-wielding thief who unsuccessfully tried to steal the Magna Carta at Salisbury Cathedral, working in tandem with a church employee to prevent the man from escaping.

Matthew Delcambre, of New Iberia, Louisiana, told The Associated Press that he and his wife Alexis were sightseeing in the southwestern English city when a man tried to shatter the glass encasing the precious manuscript in the church’s Chapter House. After

Alexis tried to raise the alarm to others, Delcambre and other bystanders banded together to try to hold the thief back behind the doors of the Chapter House.

When the thief pushed past them, the 56-year-old IT expert gave chase into an outer courtyard. He grabbed the man’s arm near the courtyard gate and knocked away the hammer. A church employee tackled him and held him down.

“It wasn’t me by myself,” he said. “It was completely a group effort.”

The Magna Carta, which was protected by two layers of thick glass, wasn’t damaged.

Wiltshire police said Satur-

day that a 45-year-old man was freed on bail until Nov. 20 as officers continue their investigation.

Salisbury Cathedral’s Magna Carta is one of four existing specimens of the 1215 charter that established the principle that the king is subject to the law. It is considered the founding document of English law and civil liberties and influenced the creation of the U.S. Constitution.

The document, Latin for “Great Charter” was shortlived. Despotic King John, who met disgruntled barons and agreed to a list of basic rights, almost immediately went back on his word and asked the pope to annul it, plunging England into civil war. It was re-issued after the king’s death.

Even so, its importance cannot be underestimated, as it has

inspired everyone from Mahatma Gandhi to Nelson Mandela.

Matthew Delcambre, the director for the Center for Business & Information Technologies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, said he has been a bit taken aback by the attention his efforts have earned, but told his story so that his efforts would not be exaggerated at the expense of others.

Of all those who played a part in corralling the thief, he credits his wife Alexis first and foremost, since it was she who noticed the thief coming out of the disabled bathroom wielding the hammer and tried to get help. He played down earlier reports which depicted him as the hero, and said the people who should get the credit are cathedral workers and volunteers who tried to protect the Magna Carta.

TAPANATEPEC, Mexico (AP) — The Mexican government seems torn between stopping several thousand Central American migrants from traveling toward the U.S. border in a caravan or burnishing its international human rights image.

On Saturday, more than a hundred federal police dressed in riot gear blocked a rural highway in southern Mexico shortly before dawn to encourage the migrants to apply for refugee status in Mexico rather than continuing the long, arduous journey north. U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Mexico to prevent the caravan from reaching the border.

Police let the caravan proceed after representatives from Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission convinced them that a rural stretch of highway without shade, toilets or water was no place for migrants to entertain an offer of asylum. Many members of the caravan have been travelling for more than two weeks, since a group first formed in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

Not long after the caravan resumed the trek north Saturday, government officials were seen for the first time directly helping the migrants by giving rides in trucks and providing water along the scorching highway.

Martin Rojas, an agent from Mexico’s migrant protection agency Grupo Beta, said he and his fellow agents planned to use agency pickup trucks to help stragglers catch up with the caravan.

“There are people fainting, there are wounded,” said Rojas, who spoke to The Associated Press after dropping off a group of women and children in Tapanatepec, where the caravan planned to spend the night. Rojas transported the group to their destination after spotting them on a highway trudging through temperatures approaching 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).

Most of the migrants in the caravan appeared determined to reach the U.S., despite an offer of refuge in Mexico.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto launched a program on Friday dubbed “You are home,” which promises shelter, medical attention, schooling and jobs to Central Americans who agree to stay in the southern Mexico states of Chiapas or Oaxaca, far from the U.S. border.

Mexico’s Interior Ministry said that temporary identity numbers have been issued to 111 migrants under the program. The IDs, called CURPs, authorize the migrants to stay and work in Mexico, and the ministry said pregnant women, children and the elderly were among those who had joined the program and were now being attended at shelters.

After another brutally hot day on the road with her husband and 8-year-old son, Alejandra Rodriguez said the possibility of health care and a work permit in Mexico sounded enticing. But as she laid out a tarp and blanket to sleep in a covered parking area in Tapanatepec, the 26-year-old from Tegucigalpa, Honduras said she’d prefer to start a new life further north. She had heard that job opportunities were scarce in southern Mexico.

Orbelina Orellana said she and her husband were determined to continue north as well.

“Our destiny is to get to the border,” said Orellana, who left three children behind in San Pedro Sula. She was also suspicious of the Mexican proposal, fearing that she would be deported if she applies for asylum in Mexico.

Mexican officials have greeted the caravan with a mixture of hospitality and hostility.

Several mayors have rolled out the welcome mat for migrants who reached their towns — arranging for food and camp sites. At other times, police have ejected migrants from passenger buses or prevented smaller groups from joining the caravan.

Serbian govt criticized for publishing war criminals’ books

By JOVANA GEC Associated Press

BELGRADE, Serbia — A rights group on Saturday sharply criticized the Serbian government after the defense ministry published and promoted books that include the war memories of two former generals convicted of war crimes by a U.N. court.

The Youth Initiative for Human Rights said in an open letter to Prime Minister Ana Brnabic that the move amounted to open state support for the war criminals sentenced by the Yugoslav tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.

The ministry rejected the criticism in a statement, insisting that the generals have the right to “state their view of the historic events that they had participated in.”

The court convicted exgenerals Nebojsa Pavkovic and Vladimir Lazarevic for atrocities committed by Serb troops in Kosovo during the 1998-99 violence that left over 10,000 people dead and forced nearly 1 million from their homes. The court said the two officers were involved in a terror campaign against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo that included murder, rape and forced deportations.

Pavkovic is serving a 22year prison term while Lazarevic has returned to Serbia after 14 years in jail.

Serbia’s defense ministry is presenting the two ex-generals’ war testimonies at the Belgrade Book Fair this week. The books are part of a seven-book edition that focuses on the 78-day

NATO bombing in 1999, which ended the war and forced Serbia to pull out of Kosovo.

Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, which Belgrade does not recognize. Serbia is seeking European Union membership and the two former foes have been engaged in EU-mediated talks aimed at normalizing ties.

In its statement, the defense ministry said the books were sold out in three days at the fair and additional ones have been printed.

“We see no reason to be ashamed of our people’s struggle and those who led that struggle,” the statement said.

Both Pavkovic and Lazarevic commanded troops in Kosovo during the war.

Pavkovic’s war diaries were promoted earlier this week while Lazarevic discussed the book about his wartime unit at the fair Saturday.

In its statement, the Youth Initiative for Human Rights demanded that the prime minister halt the government’s promotion of the books, saying that they humiliated victims all over again.

“The rehabilitation of war criminals brings into question both the European path of the (Serbian) government and the entire country and any dialogue about the Kosovo question,” the group said. “Serbia must play an active role in creating room for new memories and building of new relations in the Balkans, rather than systematically promote revisionist movements in favor of convicted war criminals.”

. . . Debate Continued from page A1

and we’d better accept that challenge and say, You can’t be in the United States unless you’re legal,� he said. � ‌ This is about America.�

He said he’s not sure what will happen when the migrants reach the border. When they do, he said, it will be the “big, big enchilada.�

Young, who has a history of off-the-cuff or off-color comments, was asked if his use of that term was intentional. He said it was not. It’s another way of saying “the big one,� he said.

But Galvin used the moment to bring up Young’s use of a slur, years ago, in referring to migrant workers for which Young previously apologized.

Many of the migrants in the caravan are from Honduras, where poverty, gangs and violence are factors that cause many to leave.

Galvin said it’s important

to reinforce the process in place for those truly seeking asylum. She said she would work toward a “comprehensive� immigration policy.

She did not directly answer whether a border wall should be built, saying work should be done first on “reinforcing our legal process that we have.�

Young said a wall has to be built unless there are better ideas. He said Congress needs to tackle immigration policy.

Throughout the debate, Young was more direct in his responses than Galvin, and he pointed out when he did not hear an answer from her.

The two differed on whether climate change is human-caused. Galvin said she believes it is tied to human activity. Young said he doesn’t believe that. He said climate change is being used “as an instrument to frighten people.�

Galvin said, as a representative, she would model civility and work toward solutions. Young said divisiveness cannot be solved by one

person and reading the Bible would be helpful.

Young said he would not support impeaching Trump.

Galvin said she wants to see the results of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation before making any sort of judgment on impeachment.

Young, 85, has held Alaska’s lone House seat since 1973. He is the longest-serving current member, earning the moniker “dean� of the House.

Young has touted his seniority and effectiveness.

But Galvin counters that Alaskans are ready for a change.

Galvin is an education advocate who won the Democratic primary to challenge Young. If she is successful in the Nov. 6 election, she would be the first woman to represent Alaska in the House.

A forum last week between Young and Galvin at the Alaska Federation of Natives conference ended on an odd note.

Video shows Galvin recoiling and saying, “That hurts,� as

Young shakes her hand. He she wanted to focus on more substantive issues. said he was sorry.

Young spokeswoman Galvin later called it a “cheap, bully stunt,� but said Murphy McCollough said

SoHi rules all-state squad Area players taste victory in Shrine Classic

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Soldotna football team earned three of the five major awards in Division II allstate balloting announced Saturday.

Junior Jersey Truesdell was Offensive Player of the Year, while senior Levi Benner was named Lineman of the Year and Eric Pomerleau was Assistant Coach of the Year. Bob Adkins of Eagle River was Coach of the Year, while Deondric Hender-

son of Lathrop was Defensive Player of the Year.

Truesdell was first-team all-state at both quarterback and defensive back. He had over 1,400 yards combined rushing and passing.

“He was a dual threat for us and did a phenomenal job,” Brantley Jr. said. “He was the hub of our offense and did the checks at the line of scrimmage. He executed our option game and we were able to put a lot of things on him.

“His progress over the course of the season was fun to watch.”

Benner was first team at offensive tackle and defensive line.

“I thought our line play was better than anybody else, so it was great to see him get recognition,” Brantley Jr. said.

Junior Aaron Faletoi was first team at halfback and defensive line.

“Aaron is just a beast,” Brantley Jr. said.

“He’s just a physical specimen. He’s a See HONOR, page B2

Nikiski downs Seward, Homer

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The host Nikiski volleyball team closed the regular season by defeating Seward on Friday and Homer on Saturday to put itself in great position to be the No. 1 seed out of the South Division of the Southcentral Conference.

The Bulldogs defeated Seward 25-11, 25-15 and 25-7 before outlasting the Mariners 25-16, 25-20, 2125, 14-25 and 15-9.

Both Homer and Nikiski finish 8-2 in the conference.

Also, the two squads split head-to-head matchups this year. The next criteria for determining the top seed is the first match against nonconference opponents, and Nikiski’s win and Homer’s loss to Soldotna looks to be decisive, though official seeds will not be available until Monday.

Nikiski honored seniors Bethany Carstens, Kelsey Clark, Emma Wik and Hannah Young before the match.

The Bulldogs then stormed

to victories in the first two games.

Bulldogs coach Stacey Segura said her squad has been focusing recently on goals, doing your job and celebrating each other.

“We did a really good job of those things in the first two games,” said Segura after finishing 9-4 in nontournament play.

The Mariners got rolling in Games 3 and 4, though.

Homer coach Sara Pennington said a big difference in the match, as opposed to when Homer topped the Bulldogs, was playing on Nikiksi’s floor.

“Each team was able to have more energy and confidence when they were at home,” Pennington said.

Both coaches liked the resilience their squads showed in the match. Heading into the conference tournament, Pennington said it was big that her squad was able to come back to take two games after losing the first two.

Meanwhile, Segura said See DOWN, page B3

Palmer girls, Kodiak boys rule Kenai’s Heaven, Seward’s Jacoby take 2 individual events

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

It was hard to catch Kenai Central senior Savaii Heaven in the pool Saturday, but it wasn’t hard out of the water.

Heaven, who stood on the podium dressed in bright black and yellow stripes like the evil twin of the popular Where’s Waldo? children’s book character, led the peninsula Saturday afternoon at the Northern Lights Conference championship meet in Homer with two region victories in the day’s finals, finally capturing a region crown that had eluded him the three previous years.

“It (feels) pretty good, but I’m more excited about the

times than the wins,” Heaven said. “If you take a big enough pool of people, there’s always going to be some really fast people, so you should really race yourself, so I’m really happy because I PR’d.”

The day ended with the Kodiak boys and Palmer girls taking home the team championships. It is the 10th straight region boys crown for the Bears, but the first girls team title for the Moose in 29 years, breaking a team stranglehold that Kodiak and Soldotna had shared since 2007. The Kodiak girls had won nine of the previous 11 years, while SoHi won Seward’s Lydia Jacoby races to victory in the girls 100-yard the other two, but Saturday’s breaststroke final Saturday at the Northern Lights Conference team title was the first for the championship swim meet at Homer High School.

Brown Bears drop 2 games to Corpus Christi Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The visiting Kenai River Brown Bears dropped a 3-1 and 5-2 decisions to the Corpus Christi (Texas) IceRays on Friday and Saturday in North American Hockey League play.

“It was a good reality check,” Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich said.

“You can’t show up to a game and not work and expect to get points. We’re

going to talk about this as a learning experience.”

The Bears are 8-7-0-1 and in fourth place in the Midwest Division. Corpus Christi is 6-7-1-0 and in fourth place in the South Division.

Just four of Kenai River’s games thus far have been at home. The team starts a seven-game homestand on Friday at 7:30 p.m. against the Springfield (Illinois) Jr. Blues.

“We’ve spend a lot of time on the

road early in the season,” Petrich said.

“It’s been a planes, trains and automobiles season so far.

“It’ll be nice to get home and be in our own beds for almost five weeks.”

Petrich said in a text message after Friday’s game that his team did not work hard, and it was reflected in the shots. The IceRays rolled up a 46-19 advantage in the shot column, including 18-2 in the second period.

Corpus Christi scored just 45 sec-

onds into the game, but the Bears drew even with 12 minutes, 54 seconds, left in the first period when Markuss Komuls scored on assists from Andy Walker and Justin Daly.

In the second period, the Bears took four penalties while Corpus Christi did not take any. Kenai River goalie Gavin Enright, who ended with 43 saves, was able to keep the game tied.

The IceRays finally broke the tie with 5:01 left to play, then iced the

game with an empty-net goal with 42 seconds left.

Saturday, Corpus Christi jumped to a 3-0 lead after the first period.

“We struggled in the first and dug ourselves a hole,” Petrich said. “I thought we played well in the second and third.”

In the second, Michael Spethmann scored on assists from Komuls and JJ Boucher, and Andy Walker scored on See BEARS, page B3

Kenai drops games to Seward, Homer

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Homer volleyball team took another step in making its case as a team to beat in the Southcentral Conference, as well as the Class 3A state field.

The Mariners picked up a another big victory Friday night at Kenai Central High School with a three-game sweep over the Kardinals with scores of 2518, 25-21 and 25-19.

Homer improved to 8-1 in conference.

A win over Nikiski two weeks prior injected a lot of confidence in Homer, said firstyear head coach Sara Pennington, and the Mariners are intent to show they are for real next week in the conference tournament.

“Everyone is saying this is the best (the team) has been in years,” Pennington said.

“People are coming up to me and telling me that if we have any chance, this is the year we should be going to state. Keeping up with all these teams they haven’t in the past, just shows how much better they’ve gotten and the improvement they’ve made.”

Kenai dropped down to the Class 3A level after years at the top in 4A, making Homer’s win all the more crucial and impressive.

Homer junior Marina Carroll combined with junior outside hitter Kelli Bishop and senior setter Brianna Hetrick to lead the Mariners offense with eight kills and four aces to go along with eight digs and

a block. Carroll said teamwork and experience has pushed the Mariners to a different level in 2018.

“We’ve been playing together the past couple years, and just knowing that we have a shot at state this year motivates us,” Carroll said. “Just having more experience and getting to know the players we have, we keep each other up, knowing how we play, we believe in each other.”

Bishop struck down nine kills and added nine digs, while Hetrick scored eight kills and five aces with 18 assists and 12 digs. Junior Karmyn Gallios added five kills, eight digs and two aces.

Pennington said Friday’s match on Kenai’s Cliff Massie Court was tighter than she

imagined it would be.

“It was closer than we hoped,” Pennington said. “But I don’t think it was a surprise.

We lacked a little on passing and serve-receive, just playing too antsy and balls were too tight.

“We wanted to take control of the game and not rush it.”

Still, the Mariners commanded the court and hardly trailed in any of the three sets.

Homer got off to a 16-8 start in game one, then used a couple of timely kill points from Carroll and Bishop down the stretch to counter a slew of service points by middle hitter Lexi Reis, who combined with fellow sophomore Abby Every to form a formidable front line.

. . . Swim Continued from page B1

Palmer girls since 1989.

The Soldotna girls finished second in their bid to add to the titles they won in 2015 and 2016, while the boys runner-up trophy went to Kenai.

Heaven took home NLC Male Athlete of the Year honors, while Seward freshman sensation Lydia Jacoby received NLC Female Athlete of the Year thanks to two region titles, including an NLC record in the girls 100-yard breaststroke. NLC Coach of the Year honors went to Palmer’s Christine Morgan.

The day saw two conference records officially go down, starting in the girls diving event as Wasilla’s Jayde Chan erased the old mark of 415 points held

by Rachel Kennedy, posting a new best mark of 427.85.

Later in the afternoon, Jacoby crushed the former region record in the girls 100-yard breaststroke, winning with a blazing time of 1 minute, 3.05 seconds, to break the 2010 mark of 1:05.73 held by Kodiak’s Laura Griffing.

It was the second time this year that Jacoby eclipsed not only the region record, but the current state record as well in the event, a 1:04.50 by Griffing.

Since state records can only be set at the state meet, Jacoby said she’d like to change that next week. Jacoby said she’d like to officially lower the state record to under 1:02.

“It felt really good to know I can swim that, and now I’m going for the state record officially,” Jacoby said. “Before I finish high school, I want to break a minute.”

Jacoby said that while the breaststroke title was something she knew she could get, her first individual region title Saturday, the girls 200 IM, came as more of a shock, especially with Homer sophomore Madison Story in the field.

“I thought this meet, she’d have that race in the bag,” Jacoby said. “I was really surprised when I won.”

Story led the halfway mark after two legs, but with Jacoby’s breaststroke prowess, the third leg proved to be the difference as the Seward phenom passed Story and pulled away.

“When I race and I know

I’ve swum as well as I can, I can never remember my race,” she said. “This one I could remember … I was just thinking how much it hurt.”

Story and Jacoby have competed against each other for years, going back to club swimming, and are good friends out of the pool.

Story, however, said the weekend just didn’t turn out her way with a second-place finish in the 200 IM and a Friday disqualification in the 100 backstroke preliminaries.

“I was off my splits by a second (in the IM), and I didn’t work my backstroke very well,” Story said. “After I saw Lydia was a full body length ahead of me, I just gave up on my freestyle.”

On the boys side, Homer’s Clayton Arndt picked up a region championship in front of his home supporters with a win in the boys 50 free in a time of 22.38 seconds, nipping secondplace Ethan Evans of SoHi by a tenth of a second.

Evans had two narrow losses on the day, with the second coming to Connor Spanos of Seward, who won the boys 100 butterfly. Spanos out-touched Evans at the wall by a second to pick up the title.

While Saturday represented the first two NLC individual titles for Heaven in his career at KCHS, the senior was all about setting his personal-best backstroke time of 53.52 seconds, especially after he battled a sickness this week. Heaven said he hopes the time will put him in the title conversation at state next week.

“That’s faster than I went last year, and everyone who beat me last year is gone,” Heaven said. “I think I’ll be able to pull a faster time at state, but there’s some really fast guys. It’ll be a really close race.”

Kenai head coach Winter Heaven — Savaii’s older brother — said he was happy to see the big results after a hard year of training.

“Seeing the excitement on his face afterward, I’m just glad to see that as a coach,” coach Heaven said. “We did what we came here to do.”

Heaven’s Kardinals teammate Koda Poulin also had a big day with a victory in the boys 500 freestyle, dominating with a time of 5:09.85, more than 15 seconds ahead of second-place.

The day was also punctuated

next-level kind of kid that I think we’ll see play on Saturday in another year.”

Junior Galen Brantley III was first team at tight end and middle linebacker. Brantley Jr. said his son remained a receiving threat and great blocker this season, but he really blossomed as a defensive player.

Junior Hudson Metcalf made first team as an outside linebacker.

“He really cuts the field in half for us,” Brantley Jr. said. “Teams can’t get outside of him, so that leads to a lot of our defensive success.”

Finally, junior Zach Hanson was on the first team as a utility player.

by a top-two finish for Soldotna in the boys diving final with senior Kylin Welch taking the gold and teammate Sam Skolnik grabbing second.

Welch said he and Skolnick saw a lot of hard work pay off with the big moment.

“Just as much as our own coach does, we coach each other as well,” Welch said. “We always help each other out, and it definitely pays off.”

Welch, who considers himself a contender for the state championship next week, said the dive he thinks clinched the title for him was a forward 1 1/2 with a full twist, which Welch said typically pulls in the most points.

“That’s one of my best dives,” he said “I’m pretty proud with how it turned out.”

SoHi head coach Angie Brennan said Welch and Skolnick’s performances provided a big highlight for the boys team, and credited diving coach Dennis Reger for bringing the two divers up.

“The boys did great,” Brennan said. “The diving one-two was way cool, we were pretty excited about that.”

Brennan said missing out on the girls team title was a disappointment, and added that Palmer’s individual wins helped overcome SoHi’s more consistent results. Palmer picked up four of the 12 event wins while SoHi just had one win, freshman Madison Snyder in the girls 500-yard freestyle.

“First place makes a big difference,” Brennan said. “Palm-

er had more than a couple first and second places.”

Palmer’s big winner was freestyle specialist Gretchen Snelders, who swept the 50 and 100 free events.

Snyder’s win in the girls endurance race, the 500 free, proved to be a battle against the elements as well as her competitors. Snyder got the win in 5:46.73, just two seconds ahead of Kenai’s Rachael Pitsch. Snyder said her goggles fogged up early in the race, ramping up the challenge.

“I couldn’t see the (lap number) cards,” Snyder explained.

“When you’re racing someone, you realize when they pick up the speed, and if you’re trying to keep up with them, you pace with them as much as you can.”

Snyder said the win took her by surprise after not targeting a region title in the preseason, but next week’s state meet will be a different experience.

“I could get last, or I could get third,” she said. “I don’t think I’ll get first.”

The region champion in each event earns an automatic berth to state, while the next 12 fastest times in the state in each event also qualify.

Kenai cheerleaders take on Rally in Valley

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Central cheerleading team did not take any top-two honors at the Rally in the Valley at Colony High School on Oct. 20, but the Kardinals did have plenty to show for their trip.

Kenai Central fielded a football cheerleading team this season for the first time in years.

The Kardinals were the only Kenai Peninsula team at the Rally in the Valley.

“It just gives different squads a chance to come and compete,” Kenai coach Brianna Force said. “It gives our girls a chance to watch other squads perform that they may not have come in contact with. It was a great opportunity for our squad of new girls.”

There is no state competition for football cheerleading. The only state cheerleading competition sanctioned by the Alaska School Activities Association

comes during March Madness Alaska.

Last season, in Force’s first year as coach, the Kardinals won the small-squad state title in late March. But of the 12 members on Kenai’s team this year, only four members returned.

When the season started in August, the Kardinals started prepping their routine for the halftime division. The routine for the halftime division is 2.5 minutes long, and had to include a cheer section, dance section, stunting and tumbling.

The Kardinals competed with five other teams. Only the top two teams are announced, and Kenai was not among those teams.

“The girls did excellent,” Force said. “They went out there and hit their routine. They had one little bobble, but I could not have been more proud of the way they performed.”

Force said the top two teams were excellent and stocked with

seasoned performers. That’s why Force said the competition was so important for her young squad.

“A lot of them had never performed in front of other cheerleading squads and never had the opportunity to watch some of the more advanced squads perform,” she said. “This shows where they can go and how much they can grow if they put in the time and effort.”

Force also said the positive feedback from the community and school from having a football cheerleading squad again boosted the team throughout the season.

Elisabeth Peterkin was captain and Arielle Hamar was cocaptain. Both also competed in the solo competition and did not finish in the top two. Also on the squad were Valerie Brophy, Delaney Duck, Keelin McGraw, Karley Harden, Alissa Maw, Rileigh Pace, Hannah Olson, Karah Huff, Dulce Santana and Emilee Braun.

“We have a lot of experience in the position of heading into a Game 5,” Segura said. “We have girls that have had three and almost four years of dealing with that situation, and it showed.”

while Every had five.

However, the Kards struggled to handle Homer’s service game.

“We didn’t serve-receive well,” said Kenai head coach Tracie Beck. “If you can’t serve-receive, then you’re in trouble, because then you can’t run your offense.”

Pennington was thrilled with the way her team played, saying Nikiski beat Homer and Homer did not lose because of its mistakes. Segura also was impressed with the Mariners.

“I definitely think Homer has gotten a lot better through this season and compared to last season,” Segura said.

“Their coach has done a really good job with their defense and their block.”

Before the last point of the match, a chant went up to get Young in the match. Segura quickly got her in and Kaycee Bostic ended the match with a

Sophomore Bethany Morris had 23 digs and four kills for Kenai, while junior Kailey Hamilton notched 10 assists and freshman libero Jenna Streiff had 11 digs.

Beck said Homer’s deeper lineup showed up against Kenai’s young group.

“I have no seniors,” Beck said. “So welcome to the world of young kids. You see brilliance, and then (the next play) you want to pound your head at the wall.”

stuff block.

“I was so zoned in on the match,” Segura said. “I don’t want to say I forgot about her, but I’m definitely glad her friends and family reminded me.”

Clark had 18 digs and 2 aces, while Carstens had nine kills and two blocks, and Wik had 13 assists and two aces.

“I’m really proud of all the seniors and what they brought to the program,” Segura said. “We want a program that’s about respect and responsibility and hard work ethic.

Kenai started hot in the second set by scoring the first five points, helped by a string of good serves by sophomore Kaylee Lauritsen, but Homer answered back with a 5-0 run of its own to tie it.

The Kards led 14-11 before Homer started to come on strong, tying it at 17-all before Beck called timeout. Homer immediately took the lead out of the break on a service point

by Hetrick, then Carroll took over to push the lead to 23-20.

“I can’t do that as a coach. The players have to bring it to the program and they’ve done a great job of that.”

Also for Nikiski, America Jeffreys had 10 digs, Kaitlyn Johnson had 14 assists, six kills and two aces, Angela Druesedow had two aces, Lillian Carstens had seven kills, and Bostic had nine kills and two blocks.

For Homer, Kelli Bishop had 24 digs and 12 kills, Karmyn Gallios had 10 kills, two blocks, 20 digs and three aces, Tonda Smuda had five kills

Tonda Smude capped the set with a spike that Kenai was unable to return, putting Homer ahead 2-0 in the match.

Bishop and sophomore hitter Laura Inama helped fuel a 14-6 start to the third set, which proved to be valuable as Kenai came back to close within 21-19 of the lead. The Mariners closed out with four straight points to secure the match victory.

Kenai Central wrapped up its regular season with a 3-0 loss to Seward on Saturday.

Biles fights through kidney stone at world championships DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Simone Biles spent a portion of the night before her return to world championships in the emergency room. The sensation she chalked up to the usual pre-meet stress evolved into searing agony that at times left her crawling on the floor. When a CT scan revealed a kidney stone — one she nicknamed “the Doha Pearl” — the reigning Olympic gymnastics champion grabbed her stuff and discharged

herself from the hospital, telling the staff she’ll deal with the pain later.

“I heard rollercoasters might help kidney stones,” Biles said. “And I’m like ‘Well, I’m basically like my own little rollercoaster out there.’”

One that turns each performance into a thrill ride of its own. Smiling through each twist, flip and turn, the 21-year-old Biles was nearly flawless during qualifying on Satur-

day, posting the highest scores on balance beam, floor exercise and vault on her way to a total of 60.965 on a day when the Americans put up a team score of 174.429, a staggering 12 points clear of second-place Japan through six of 11 qualifying groups.

“She’s Simone,” U.S. high performance coordinator Tom Forster said. “You’d expect the same out of a Michael Jordan or a Tiger Woods and that’s who she is in our sport.”

Finau keeps lead SHANGHAI (AP) — Tony Finau struggled for so much of Saturday in the HSBC Champions that he was hopeful of a strong finish to carry some momentum into the final round.

He got much more than he imagined.

Finau closed with three straight birdies for a 2-under 70 and kept his three-shot lead because of a late collapse by Justin Rose, who played the final two holes in five more shots than Finau required.

“There was no need to panic,” Finau said. “Just play some good golf coming down the stretch, and I was able to do that.”

Finau was at 13-under 203 and led by three over Justin Rose, Masters champion Patrick Reed and Xander Schauffele.

Finau was on the verge of

falling three shots behind on the 16th hole after Rose had pitched to within 3 feet for a birdie, and Finau hit wedge that came up well short. He rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt from off the green to stay within two shots, hit a tee shot that rolled to within 18 inches of the cup for a short birdie on the par-3 17th, and then holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th.

Rose wasted a great round with a sloppy finish and had to settle for a 70.

He was two shots ahead going to the 17th when his tee shot went off the side of a hill and into a hazard, leading to double bogey. Then, his 4-iron to the par-5 18th was too far right and tumbled down the hill and into the water. He had a chance to save par until missing a 4-foot putt.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Oct. 28, the 301st day of 2018. There are 64 days left in the year.

Red Sox stage massive rally to top Dodgers

By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES — An 18-inning loss in Game 3 of the World Series couldn’t wear out the Boston Red Sox. A four-run deficit late in Game 4 definitely didn’t faze them.

This plucky powerhouse just kept getting big hits to move to the brink of another championship.

Steve Pearce hit a tying homer in the eighth and a three-run double in the ninth, and the Red Sox emphatically rallied for a 9-6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

Pinch-hitter Rafael Devers singled home Brock Holt with the tiebreaking run in the ninth as Boston roared to a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup.

“I’ve never been on a team where you just get punched in the face and

then come back tomorrow and act like they are totally fine,” Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez said. “It’s impressive.”

Game 5 is Sunday at Dodger Stadium, where the Red Sox can close out a spectacular season with their fourth title in 15 years. Boston picked Game 2 winner David Price to start on short rest against fellow lefty Clayton Kershaw.

Soon after Yasiel Puig’s three-run homer in the sixth put the Dodgers up 4-0, Boston’s incredible surge began with pinch-hitter Mitch Moreland’s three-run homer. By the time they were done decimating the Dodgers’ bullpen, six Red Sox had combined for seven hits — four for extra bases.

Boston scored just two runs in its first 24 innings at Dodger Stadium, but added nine more in the last three innings of Game 4.

“Sometimes in October we talk about mechanics, and how you feel at the plate and all that, (but) sometimes it’s will,” manager Alex Cora said.

“You will yourself to do great things.

And it started very simple. A few good at-bats, and then the big swing, and we kept rolling and we didn’t stop playing.”

The Red Sox will have trouble topping this performance, in which they overcame a three-run deficit in a World Series game for the second time. Boston also rallied from three down against Cincinnati in 1975 in Game 6, best known for Carlton Fisk’s dramatic homer in the 12th after Bernie Carbo tied it with a threerun shot.

Pearce was an unlikely candidate to become the latest postseason hero in Boston’s long October history,

but he did it twice. The 35-year-old journeyman connected off All-Star closer Kenley Jansen for the tying homer in the eighth, and cleared the bases one inning later with a double to the gap.

The superlative Boston roster that won 108 regular-season games and then rolled through the 100-win New York Yankees and defending champion Houston Astros to win the AL pennant is now one win from this formerly tormented franchise’s ninth World Series crown.

Enrique Hernandez hit a two-run homer in the ninth for Los Angeles, which could become the first team to lose the World Series on its home field in back-to-back seasons since the New York Giants lost at the Polo Grounds to the Yankees in 1936 and 1937.

“We’re not out yet,” Dodgers man-

“We cannot afford more restrictions that clearly compromise our ability to live, play and work in Alaska. We already have existing permitting laws that provide for salmon protections and allow us to develop public infrastructure responsibly. I’m voting No on One.” Charlie Pierce Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor

“Alaska needs a balanced, effective policy for protecting our resources— and Ballot Measure 1 fails that test.”

Opinion Article Anchorage Daily News, 9.30.18

“I love to fish – it’s how I support my family, and I want to pass those traditions on to my kids. Ballot Measure 1 challenges Alaskans’ access to lands and waters for outdoor recreation, hunting and fishing.

That’s why I’m voting no.”

ager Dave Roberts said. “Our guys aren’t done. We’ve got our best going tomorrow and we’re expecting to win a baseball game.”

Devers added a big defensive play in the ninth when he slid to stop Manny Machado’s hard grounder at third before throwing across the diamond to get the Dodgers slugger for the second out. Craig Kimbrel then got Cody Bellinger on a fly to end it, leaving Puig in the on-deck circle.

Less than 17 hours after Max Muncy’s 18th-inning homer for the Dodgers ended the longest game in World Series history at 7 hours, 20 minutes, the teams were back on the field in Chavez Ravine. That epic defeat could have sapped many teams’ strength, but the Red Sox shrugged it off — although they waited until the seventh inning to get going.

Clemson crushes Seminoles

By The Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Trevor Lawrence threw four touchdown passes, and No. 2 Clemson handed Florida State its worst home loss in program history with a 59-10 victory Saturday.

Lawrence completed 20 of 37 passes for 314 yards before leaving late in the third quarter.

Tee Higgins and Amari Rodgers each had two touchdown receptions.

NO. 3 NOTRE DAME 44, NAVY 22 SAN DIEGO — Ian Book threw for 330 yards and two touchdowns, Dexter Williams ran for 142 yards and three scores and Notre Dame overwhelmed Navy to remain undefeated and in the playoff picture.

JaFar Armstrong added a rushing touchdown for the Fighting Irish. They are 8-0 for the first time since 2012, when they remained undefeated until being routed by Alabama in the BCS national title game.

OKLAHOMA STATE 38, NO. 6 TEXAS 35 STILLWATER, Okla. — Taylor Cornelius threw three touchdown passes and ran for two scores, the last with 5:44 remaining to help Oklahoma State beat Texas.

Cornelius completed 23 of 34 passes for 321 yards, and his scoring run on third-and-10 gave Oklahoma State (5-3, 2-3 Big 12) a 38-28 lead after its 31-14 halftime advantage had been whittled down to just three points. Tylan Wallace had 10 receptions for 222 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys snapped a two-game losing streak.

NO. 7 GEORGIA 36, NO. 9 FLORIDA 17 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jake Fromm threw three touchdown passes, ending speculation about freshman Justin Fields supplanting him, and Georgia beat Florida.

The Bulldogs took advantage of Florida’s three turnovers and an injury to cornerback C.J. Henderson to win the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” for the second straight year.

NO. 8 OKLAHOMA 51, KANSAS STATE 14 NORMAN, Okla. — Kyler Murray passed for 352 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another score to help Oklahoma beat Kansas State.

The Sooners (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) rolled up a season-high 702 total yards and only punted once, and that was in the fourth quarter after Murray was done for the day.

NO. 12 KENTUCKY 15, MISSOURI 14 COLUMBIA, Mo. — Terry Wilson threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Conrad on the final play to lift Kentucky past Missouri.

Kentucky took over on its own 19 with 1:24 left. With 4 seconds left, Wilson threw toward Ahmad Wagner in the back left corner of the end zone. Wagner caught the ball out of bounds, but Missouri cornerback DeMarkus Acy was called for pass interference, giving Kentucky an untimed down that it turned into the winning score.

Bobbin’ for Apples If you take a quick peek around the corner of tomorrow, you will see Halloween lurking there.

It used to be a time where diminutive ghosts, wee witches, and tiny devils encased in red long johns prowled alongside 4-foot pirates while ringing neighborhood doorbells in quest of caramel apples, popcorn balls and homemade brownies.

Most of the costumes were fashioned from whatever could be sewn together utilizing closet scraps and pilfered items from storage chests hosting dusty cobwebs in attic alcoves.

Nowadays, costume originality seems to be left to credit card limits, ad blitzes and box store floor displays.

As for the fresh baked goodies reliably garnered from the friendly but zany old lady who dwelt in the spooky gray house at the dark end of the cul-de-sac? Well, they have been reduced to hermetically sealed mega bags of sugar bombs guaranteed to put the family dentist into a new Mercedes. Fresh fruits? (Yeah, I thought they were lame back in my time too.) Forget ‘em unless they’re screened through a metal detector, blasted with Xrays and chemically analyzed by a crime lab.

Things have changed so much that, in certain Lower 48 areas, the only way a kid can get some serious trick-r-treating done is with tactical support units and close air support.

Come to think of it, even as adults, things that used to creep us out have morphed, big time.

H. P. Lovecraft once stated: “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”

In other words, overactive adult imaginations brew well in psychological petri dishes overflowing with trepidations of what lolls just beyond the reach of our senses, especially after a few stiff grogs of Boone’s Farm Pumpkin Wine.

Think about it. What scares you now?

Certainly not ghoulish urban legends, werewolves, vampires, ghosts, gargoyles or goblins because you are mature and know better, right? What about entities that are slippery, slimy, squiggly and squirmy, especially, if they skitter and scuttle? Or, do only fungal creatures that skulk, crawl or ooze tingle your spine?

Let’s not forget aging graveyards seeping gnarled fingers of fog that seem to grope and strangle surrounding tombstones. Or, a rhythmic thump on your home that continues long after a midnight tempest has died.

Could it be that you are repulsed when something furry quivers at your fingertips as you reach deep within a hole in a wall?

Does it bother you when your dog bristles and growls at an empty room? Do your innards ice at the creaking of old cellar steps when no one else is home? Do you get goose bumps when something suddenly slithers along the storage shed’s wall as your flashlight dies? How about all of the above?

You are not alone. There are many things that terrify post-adolescent personages, but not all have claws, drooling maws or razor fangs. Not all screech, howl or wail.

We now suffer the hideous specter of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas commercials mixed within a steaming kettle of September ads and reality TV programs targeting those without discernible brain waves, contestants included.

Worse yet, every two years or so, we are plagued with droning political debates between busloads of political wannabees who can’t decide what’s more abhorrent, each other’s policies and/or opponents who purportedly cheated on their preschool entrance exams.

Nowadays the feeling of trepidation is the norm when venturing anywhere near the quicksand-laden quagmire of issues and bizarre strange manipulations within the catacombs of state or federal government agencies. Merely contemplating what might be unearthed spawns a shudder worse than the concept of trailing a Sumo wrestler, so huge that he affects the tides, up a set of stairs while he’s styling a set of Speedos.

Finally, did you realize that, even with all the aforementioned repugnant manifestations considered, somewhere out there lurks an entity and peril much more insidious? It triggers steely hearts to race and blood course cold at just its simple mention. It is the ultimate stalker and gives no quarter.

It is a certified letter from the IRS, the quintessential definition of something that can really scare the hell out of you and may eventually eat you alive.

Ain’t being a grownup fun?

Meghan’s wedding gown goes on display

By GREGORY KATZ Associated Press

LONDON — Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has described how she worked with designer Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy to create a “timeless” wedding gown for her wedding to Prince Harry earlier this year.

Harry and the former Meghan Markle recorded their memories of the wedding for an audio commentary that is part of the new “Relive the Royal Wedding” exhibition at Windsor Castle that opened Friday.

The gown and the five-meter-long veil Meghan wore with it are set to be the prime attraction at the 10-week display.

In the audio recording, the former actress said she had a clear idea of what she wanted to wear from the start.

“I knew at the onset I wanted a bateau neckline, I wanted a cropped sleeve, I wanted a very timeless, classic feeling,” she said.

The dress also needed to be suitably modest for the May 19 wedding held in a chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle, she said.

“There was a great level of detail that went into the planning of our wedding day,” said Meghan, who is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

“I think for us, we knew how large the scale of the event would be, so in making choices that were really personal and meaningful, it could make the whole experience feel intimate, even though it was a very big wedding,” the duchess said.

Meghan described the “incredibly surreal day” when she and her fiance visited Queen Elizabeth II, Harry’s grandmother, to choose a tiara for her

The wedding dress with a five-meter-long veil that Meghan the Duchess of Sussex wore and an identical uniform to the specially commissioned one Prince Harry wore at their wedding are displayed as part of an exhibition entitled ‘A Royal Wedding: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ in the Grand Reception Room at Windsor Castle in Windsor, near London, England, Thursday.

The display will be open to visitors from Friday October 26 until January 6, 2019. (AP Photo/ Matt Dunham)

to wear during the wedding ceremony. She picked Queen Mary’s diamond and platinum bandeau tiara from the queen’s unmatched collection. It is featured in the new exhibit.

For his part, Harry said it was “very sweet” of

his grandmother to lend his bride-to-be the priceless headpiece.

Harry’s wedding outfit, including the distinctive frockcoat uniform made by master tailors on Savile Row, is also on display.

I also came up with the best way to use up the hand soap remaining in the bottom of the pump bottles: I dilute with water and drain into a squeeze bottle. Using the pump bottle makes too much of a mess.

It can be taken off and retaped several times, and it helps to distinguish opened boxes from unopened ones.

Condolences for death of man’s ex-girlfriend puzzle his wife DEAR ABBY: My husband of 20 years, “Jerry,” recently learned about an old girlfriend’s death. A Facebook friend informed him about it. The message arrived late at night while I was sleeping, and he woke me to tell me the news.

He is now receiving condolences from friends that he is responding to as though he were grieving. Abby, the old girlfriend and my husband split up on very bad terms. She not only cheated on him but gave him an STD. I am appalled and feel hurt that this is happening. Friends of mine are surprised and suspicious about it.

I confronted my husband and asked him if the situation were reversed and I were the one who died and an old flame started receiving condolences, how would he feel?

Jerry said it wouldn’t bother him. Is it normal to send condolences to old flames?

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 28, 2018: This year you tend to go from intellectual reasoning to emotional intensity when facing a problem. Observe which trait is more effective. If you are single, you meet a variety of people whom you can relate to on different levels. An intense bond evolves this year. If you are attached, the two of you often introduce yourselves to a new interest or hobby.

Do not ignore your emotional depth or that of your partner.

CANCER supports and understands your sensitivity.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You have the energy and determination to follow through on what is important. However, you cannot predict the unpredictable. You might find a swift change to be refreshing and full of possibilities. Express your thoughts and feelings. Tonight: Make it a cozy night at home.

This Week: Happenings turn from shocking to rewarding.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Be more forthcoming and direct about what you are thinking regarding a financial matter. Resist copping an attitude if dealing with a difficult person. You might negate any possibility of coming to a compromise. Understand what is happening. Tonight: Be receptive.

This Week: Reach out to those at a distance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You are full of energy and ideas. Plans and gettogethers get a shot of vitality just from your participation.

You could hear something that shocks you. Do your best to absorb what has happened. You will see the event in a different light, given some time. Tonight: Treat others.

This Week: Your seriousness might surprise several people.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Examine what is going on in your mind. You could be replaying a recent happening in your head. Get to the bottom of an inner dialogue. Your fiery side emerges.

Make plans to join a loved one for a movie or some other distraction. Tonight: Not to be found.

This Week: Your magnetism speaks for itself through Wednesday.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might want to take a timeout. You need breaks and a change of pace from time to time, and only you know what that looks like. A parent or an older friend surprises you with his or her reaction. You might not want to say anything. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep if you can.

This Week: Lie low until midweek, when you feel more like yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Reach out to someone you care a lot about. This person often reminds you that you are supported. Under-

Dear Readers: HALLOWEEN will be upon us soon, so here are some safety suggestions for our furry friends: * The noise, costumes, lights and activity can be scary for a pet. Keep them calm in a quiet area. * Pet costumes can be cute, but a simple bandana or colorful collar should suffice. * Cords for lighting decorations should be kept away from pets so they won’t chew on them. * Appropriate snacks for pets? Carrots, apples and green beans. Candy? No way! * Always keep your pets safe, on Halloween and every other day!

stand what is needed to make him or her feel good without having to go overboard. Make a point of having fun plans for later. Tonight: Enjoy the people around you.

This Week: You seem to be heading down the right path.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Consider extending an invitation to someone to join you at a concert, art show or some other activity you both enjoy. The unexpected occurs with your finances. A partner might spend money on an item that you might not agree with. Tonight: Make a much-needed appearance.

This Week: One-on-one relating forces others to listen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Defer to a close associate who has become unpredictable as of late. You can’t seem to determine what the reason for this is, but just remain as steady as possible and call on your sense of humor. You draw many people toward you. Make plans as a group. Tonight: Be near great music.

This Week: Read between the lines when dealing with a controversial situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Defer to others and make the most of the moment. A close friend or loved one expresses delight at having the pleasure of your company. Try a new cuisine or activity together, and you’ll both be pleased. Remember, taking risks helps you live well. Tonight: Go for togetherness.

This Week: One-on-one relating about matters close to your heart draw clearer results.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Reaching out to a close loved one could be frustrating at first. For now, pursue a favorite pastime. Catch up on a favorite TV series if you can. Later in the day, this person is likely to be more open and receptive to your feedback.

Tonight: Relish the company of friends.

This Week: Keep an eye on what might be going down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Distractions appear early in the day. Throw yourself into the moment. Make the most of a special bond with a friend. As the day progresses, a streak of practicality appears. Consider making time for a project, but do not lose sight of this special moment. Tonight: Go with the flow.

This Week: Clear out as much work as possible by midweek.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Spend some time at home. Read the Sunday paper and dedicate some time to close family. Let the day unfold, and watch as a sense of closeness emerges. You could hear news that confuses you. Just remember what you have been told. Tonight: Head to a favorite restaurant.

This Week: You might not be practical right now, but you’ll have a good time.

A happy afterlife

Ancient Egyptians believed that after people died, they would have an afterlife, or a next life. They wanted loved ones to enjoy the next life, so they tried to provide things they would need.

In a tomb, they might put furniture, food, clothing, jewelry, artwork, prayers, and statues of servants to go with the body into the next life.

Mummification was also used by other societies, such as the Incas of South America, the Chinese, and the Anasazi people of the American Southwest. In more modern times, former Soviet leader V.I. Lenin and Chinese leader Mao Tse-tung both were mummified.

Making a mummy

Before an Egyptian funeral, the body was mummified. It took special priests about 70 days to make a mummy. They performed religious ceremonies as they worked.

• First, some of the vital organs were removed. The brain was thought to be the least important organ. It was removed by inserting a hook through the nose, and then it was thrown away.

The ancient Egyptians believed that some of their gods and goddesses could appear on Earth as animals.

Some animals that were thought to be gods were the ram, cow, crocodile, cat and falcon. These and other animals that lived among royalty were mummified and buried much like people.

Will you be trick-or-treating on Halloween?

Along with monsters, witches and ghosts, you might see a mummy or two collecting candy.

But did you know that real mummies weren’t meant to be scary at all? For some ancient Egyptians, mummification was just a way of preparing their loved ones for burial after they died.

The Tutankhamun tomb had four miniature coffins made of gold with colored glass and gems. These small coffins held King Tut’s organs that had been removed during mummification. This one held his liver.

You’ve probably heard of Egypt’s King Tutankhamun (toot-ahnk-AH-moon), or King Tut. His tomb was discovered in 1922 in Egypt. It was considered one of the greatest finds in the history of archaeology (ar-kee-OL-uh-gee), partly because it had never been disturbed.

Archaeologists* discovered statues of servants to serve him in the afterlife, six chariots, furniture, feathered fans and two mirrors. A mask made of gold covered the shoulders and head of King Tut’s mummy.

The mask weighs about 20 pounds and is decorated with precious stones.

The mummy was inside a stone sarcophagus and three coffins that fit inside each other. The coffin holding King Tut’s mummy was made of solid gold and weighed 269 pounds.

Sometimes organs were put into jars and buried with the mummy. Other times they were wrapped in linen and put back into the body.

• Next, the body was covered with natron, a type of salt that dried it out. Packets of natron were placed inside the body.

• When the body was dry, the packets were removed and the salt was washed off. Bundles of linen and other materials, including cinnamon, sawdust and onions, were put inside the body.

False eyes were sometimes put into place.

• Priests then wrapped the body with linen.

They used many long strips. To protect the body on its journey, they might write words on the strips, or place amulets, or charms, between the layers.

During this process, a coat of warm resin, a sap from pine and fir trees, was put on the linen, and then wrapping continued.

• The mummy was then placed in a decorated coffin made of wood, stone or even gold. The coffin then might be placed in a sarcophagus (sar-COF-uh-gus), a wood or stone box, for burial.

* Archaeologists study the remains of past human life.

Carbon dioxide is a big part of the carbon cycle: carbon’s path from the atmosphere, into living organisms, then turning into dead organic matter, going into the oceans, and back into the atmosphere. The cycle has sources (parts of the cycle that add carbon to the atmosphere) and sinks (parts of the cycle that remove carbon from the atmosphere). The most important sinks are the ocean (the seawater itself, the organisms living there and sediments on the sea floor) as well as plants and soil on land. adapted from climatekids.nasa.gov

Designing for dining: tablescapes from Napoleon til now

Garden cleanup shouldn’t be too thorough

This undated photo shows a perennial garden in New Paltz, N.Y. (Lee Reich via AP)

Dead leaves on the ground, dead stems on trees and shrubs, dead plants where flowers and vegetables once strutted their stuff — how forlorn the yard can look this time of year. The urge is to tidy things up by blowing or raking leaves out of sight, pruning away unwanted branches and ripping dead plants out of the ground.

Garden cleanup has its virtues but can do more harm than good if taken to excess.

AUTUMN LEAVES HAVE THEIR PLACE For instance, many gardeners like to clear dead leaves out from beneath shrubbery, where the leaves often come to rest after fall winds give them a few swirls around the yard. In fact, trees and shrubs would love to have their roots cozied in beneath a thick blanket of leaves.

Such a blanket keeps roots warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and moister year-round. All of which spurs roots to grow more, and more root growth means more robust plants.

Many gardeners similarly wield leaf blowers and rakes to remove leaves that have drifted onto the lawn. But these leaves do no harm there, unless they blanket the ground so thickly that they exclude light.

A final pass with the mower might be all that is needed to grind leaves fine enough to filter down through the grassy blades to the soil. A mulching mower, or a conventional mower fit with a mulching blade, does this job well.

The benefits of working the leaves into the lawn are similar to those of raking leaves beneath shrubbery. Next summer, your lawn will look nicer and be better able to survive periodic droughts.

WHAT ABOUT PRUNING? Let’s next take a look at all those dead and misplaced tree and shrub branches, many no longer hidden behind green leaves. Wouldn’t it be nice to prune these plants to look healthy, prim and pretty now?

Anytime you notice them is a good time to prune dead branches and, in most cases, diseased ones too.

Generally, though, don’t prune for beauty at this time of year. Fall pruning might stimulate a little cell activity at a time when plants should be shutting down in preparation for the cold. And wounds left by fall pruning stay exposed all winter. So plants are more likely to be injured by cold weather, and pruning wounds are more likely to get infected if plants are pruned now than if pruned in late winter or early spring.

Don’t bother with wound dressings to avert infections; they’re generally useless.

If you can’t resist the urge to grab your pruning shears and beautify some trees and shrubs, work with plants that are very cold-hardy and subject to few diseases — ornamentals such as spirea, snowberry, sumacs, and ninebark, and fruits such as gooseberries and currants.

SOME CLEANUP IS IN ORDER The place to put most of your tidying energy is into your vegetable and flower beds.

Old, infected plant parts left lying around can help spread diseases like tomato leafspots, powdery mildew of zinnia, phlox, and other plants, and peony botrytis.

For specific concerns such as these, it pays to thoroughly clean up this time of year. In this case, ripping dead, old plants, stems or leaves out of the garden and then carting them away to the compost pile also carries away some potential pest problems.

Another reason to clean up vegetables and flowers now is to give you an earlier start next spring when the urge strikes you to plant.

But some restraint is needed even where vegetables and flowers grew. A few plants left here and there will capture snow and hold it on the ground. Snow insulates the soil and even adds a bit of nitrogen for next year’s plants.

A few stalks left here and there also liven up the drab winter landscape. Birds will flit about old sunflower heads looking for a few remaining seeds. And while seedheads of coneflower and teasel hardly get a second glance in summer, they begin to look mighty interesting come February.

By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press

NEW YORK — From the age of Napoleon to Depression-era America and beyond, oftenunsung designers have brought life to the diningroom table.

“I thought all tablecloths a bore — particularly white,” wrote Marguerita Mergentime, who gained renown for her tablecloth designs during the Depression. “What people needed, I decided, was bold dashing color on the table, a new kind of design that you couldn’t resist.”

She was hardly alone in her quest to create “tablescapes” with a bit of pizazz, according to a new exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum that explores the impact of design on the rituals and customs of dining. “Tablescapes: Designs for Dining” opened Oct. 5 and will remain on view through April 14, 2019.

The highlight of the show is an elaborate “surtout de table” centerpiece designed for Napoleon Bonaparte, who is believed to have commissioned it as a wedding gift for his stepson. On view for the first time in 30 years and newly conserved, it exemplifies how dining at the highest levels of wealth and power in 19th century France was a theatrical performance, bringing architecture to the tabletop in elaborate vessels for food.

At the opposite end of the design spectrum are Mergentime’s casual, Depression-era table linens, featuring bold colors and a fascination with typography and American history.

Then there’s a futuristic work commissioned by 2017 National Design Award winners Joe Doucet and Mary Ping that envisions a tabletop in a world where population growth has put a premium on space in kitchens and dining areas, and sustainability is crucial.

“From awe-inspiring grandeur to vernacular wit to an emphasis on sustainability, the exhibition provokes a spirited conversation around design’s role in the evolution of a universal ritual,” says Caroline Baumann, director of the museum.

Matilda McQuaid, deputy curatorial director, adds, “We wanted to show how much has changed over time, but also how some aspects have stayed the same.”

The show, divided into three galleries, begins with Doucet and Ping’s work, “The Concentric and Decentric Tables and Seating.”

The moveable structure features two Lazy Susans and built-in stools that can be folded in to seat a small group, or expanded out to accommodate eight people. The terrazzo-patterned surface, reminiscent of stone, is made from recycled food packaging. A close look reveals tiny bits of the Starbucks logo among the tight swirls of gray and green. On the amoeba-shaped dining surfaces, Doucet designed sleek, multi-functional dishes meant to go directly from stovetop to tabletop to fridge, along with a sleek set of cutlery (including matching chopsticks). All his pieces are 3-D-printed for greater customization.

“The future doesn’t have to be dystopian,” says Ping.

In the next gallery is the French centerpiece, created in 1805 by Pierre-Philippe Thomire, a Parisian sculptor known for creating gilt-bronze objects. Made in sections to accommodate a variety of table sizes, the centerpiece is raised slightly above the dining surface and covered in gold with a mirrored base. It resembles a sort of Versailles garden for the table, complete with elegant statuettes and fountain-like towers meant to hold beautifully arranged treats.

The mirrored plateau and gilt-bronze surfaces would have reflected candlelight, and an actual audience seated alongside the table watched as diners ate. The centerpiece is put in context by other works in the gallery, including a drawing of a late 18th century centerpiece inspired by the ruins of Pompeii, and an ornate, blackened bronze clock of the era.

The exhibit then shifts toward equally exuberant but decidedly more humble table decor with Mergentime’s work. The American designer is best known for her bright modernist tablecloths and napkins from 1934 until her death in 1941.

They were highlighted in popular magazines of the time and sold in upscale department stores.

“They are really about the communal side of dining, and many of them are designed to be conversation starters,” says McQuaid.

Stylish and witty, many of Mergentime’s pieces feature quizzes or other conversation starters. The 1939 tablecloth “Food Quiz,” for example, includes the printed phrase: “Do you dish the dirt before you dish the soup?”

5 ways to increase energy efficiency Fall and winter can be tough on your home and your wallet. As temperatures drop, chances are your furnace will be working overtime. This results in two things — greater energy consumption and higher heating bills. In fact, costs associated with heating and cooling a home year-round typically comprise two-thirds of the average energy bill.

Try these easy DIY projects to help cut down on energy loss and expenses: 1. Replace worn weather-stripping around doors and windows. Worn weather-stripping can create drafts and let heated air out, stressing your furnace and compromising your comfort.

Replacing it takes little time and is a low-cost, high-impact solution.

2. Top up or replace old insulation in your attic. A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss. Also, over time, some types of

insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps. Experts recommend topping up or replacing attic insulation with a dimensionally stable batt insulation like Roxul Comfortbatt. Aim for an R-value of at least R-50 or a depth of roughly 16 inches.

3. Insulate basement headers and walls. Uninsulated basement headers are common, especially in older homes. They can act as a gateway for heated air to escape. Fixing the problem is fast and easy. Simply cut Comfortbatt mineral wool insulation to fit the cavity and compress into place. Doing this throughout your basement will prevent heat loss and can potentially save hundreds of dollars each year.

4. Caulk around windows. Cracks and crevices are a source of heat loss. They can also be an entry point for water/moisture, as well as for unwelcome insects. Preventative maintenance,

such as caulking, can improve energy efficiency and prevent costly repairs.

5. Change your furnace filter. Make it a point to check your furnace filter monthly, always changing it when it’s dirty. This will improve the performance and efficiency of your furnace, saving you money.

Older Austin homes being demolished to welcome pricier digs

By PHILIP JANKOWSKI and CHRISTIAN McDONALD Austin American-Statesman

AUSTIN, Texas — It’s 9 a.m. on Richcreek Road, and two white vans have pulled up alongside a chain-link fence where a duplex is being built.

The Austin AmericanStatesman reports a green semitruck hauling wooden boards and with a red forklift affixed to the rear of its trailer emits a repetitive beeping as it maneuvers to park. If the truck’s beeping acted as a metronome, none of the construction workers working on the duplex paid attention as they continued with the arrhythmic, staccato blasts of nail guns.

Though this North Austin neighborhood has been established for decades, the soundscape of construction has become common in Crestview in recent years. According to a review of city records undertaken by the American-Statesman, the 78757 ZIP code that includes Crestview has become a hotbed for redevelopment in the past 10 years. Since 2008, area residents have seen the number of homes demolished each year jump from fewer than 10 to between 30 and 40.

“It feels funny when you live here, and you see this (much construction),” Richcreek Road resident Anne-Charlotte Patterson said.

On a summer day, Patterson took a quick stroll around the block, pointing out the conspicuous newer homes. The block that once was all midcentury homes is now flecked with more modern homes in trendy muted shades.

During the two-block walk, it doesn’t take long to pass 22 properties that have been torn down and redeveloped since 2010.

At the corner of Richcreek Road and Woodrow Avenue, a home built in 1951 was torn down in 2014 and replaced by a duplex with three bedrooms on each side. The property is

valued at more than $1 million. One street over, on Pasadena Drive, a 1950 home torn down in 2013 has given way to a four-bedroom home now valued at more than $800,000, according to city and tax appraisal records.

For a neighborhood once marketed to working-class families, each new home rises as a seedling of change as Central Austin transforms more and more into a part of the city that’s affordable only to those on the upper end of the income scale.

“A smaller, affordable house is replaced by a home triple or more in value,” said Patterson, who has lived in Crestview since 2003 and is vice president of the neighborhood association. “We had a more balanced mix of homeowners and renters, but we’re now losing a lot of our renters as the housing becomes less affordable.”

What’s happening in Crestview — older houses being razed to be replaced with new, fresh properties that come with appreciably higher valuations — isn’t unique in Austin.

The Statesman analyzed public records associated with tens of thousands of building permits filed with the city of Austin, covering everything from kitchen remodels to complete teardowns of single-family homes. The analysis found that each year since the economic free fall resulting from the 2008 financial crisis, the number of demolitions in the city has increased.

Neighborhoods in the ZIP codes surrounding downtown Austin have seen the most homes destroyed in recent years for redevelopment. The 78704 ZIP code, just south of Lady Bird Lake, has been the No. 1 target for demolitions for the past 10 years, followed closely by 78702 in central East Austin, according to the records.

The permits also showed that in the case of the 2,370 homes that listed the size of the

structure being razed, developers filed plans to replace an older home with a larger home nearly 97 percent of the time over the past decade. While incomplete, the available data shows a stark trend to build bigger once the initial dwelling has been torn down.

Real estate consultants and developers attribute the increasing churn of demolitions in Austin’s core to a myriad of causes, including: low supply of housing stock versus a high demand for it; double-digit population growth; the natural replacement of aging housing stock; and well-off young professionals moving out of downtown high-rises and into nearby neighborhoods to buy more traditional family homes.

Each theory carries some weight, but almost all the ideas spring from one root: the ongoing ascendance of Austin’s economy that might make affordable central neighborhoods victims of the city’s economic success.

“Austin is fast becoming a city of wealthy people,” said City Council Member Leslie Pool, whose District 7 encompasses Crestview. “They don’t all live in Crestview now, but that is who is moving in.”

Since the collapse of the housing market 10 years ago, Austin has rebounded in a big way. Housing prices and sales have risen year over year here for seven years straight. In that environment, the desire to build more housing is far from quenched.

The surge in Austin’s population was unmitigated by the Great Recession, and the number of households earning more than $100,000 a year has risen, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures.

In 2000, roughly 19 percent of households in Austin had incomes of at least $100,000, which adjusted for inflation rises to about $140,000 in 2016. Census data show that 24 percent of households in Austin had incomes of more than

$150,000 that year.

Even as high-rises have sprung up downtown, neighborhoods just beyond downtown have been changing one lot at a time. Demolitions have continued to increase each year in those areas, and the pace has shown no signs of slowing down. According to permits filed with the city, demolitions citywide in 2018 are nearly on pace to match the 2017 total.

District 3 City Council Member Sabino “Pio” Renteria has had a front row seat for the redevelopment of East Austin.

Renteria bought his house a few blocks east of Interstate 35 near Holly Street for $21,000 about 40 years ago. These days, he sees his longtime neighbors selling their homes for upward of $500,000.

“It started about 10 years ago,” Renteria said. “There were two lots, two houses, and they tore them down and put four houses there. We joked around at the time because they wanted $500,000 (for each house), and they ended up having to sell them for $250,000.

That would be a bargain now.”

Renteria’s ZIP code of 78702 has trailed only 78704 in seeing the most single-family home demolitions in Austin since 2008.

Eldon Rude, founder of the market research and consulting practice 360 Real Estate Analytics, said downtown Austin’s high-performance economic engine has driven the redevelopment of neighborhoods like Renteria’s and sent home prices soaring.

“That has drawn a lot of professionals, younger professionals, that rented at first,” Rude said. “As a lot of those apartment dwellers are now moving toward the interest to buy a house, they want to stay central.”

A 2015 report from the Portland, Oregon, think tank City Observatory found that 28.8 percent of all of Austin’s jobs exist in the city’s center, an area the study defined as within rough-

ly 3 miles of downtown. This concentration of jobs in Austin ranked the highest among all 41 cities that City Observatory examined, including New York City and San Francisco.

“That means we have a very healthy urban job market,” said Terry Mitchell, president of the development consultant group Momark. “And that fact has implications for housing close by.”

Besides unsolicited offers to buy their homes, Renteria said he and most of his neighbors have become keenly aware of the rapid increase in their properties’ value as they review tax statements.

Renteria has often said that East Austin is undergoing a second wave of gentrification as some of the families that arrived just as East Austin’s real estate market began to boom are being forced out by the heavy tax burden that comes with surging property prices.

“The gentrifiers are now being gentrified,” he said.

Renteria has been an advocate for affordable housing during his nearly four years on the City Council. He has supported repairs to public housing in his district and backed some efforts to curb demolitions by making it harder and more expensive to obtain permits.

“It’s sad that we are losing the character of our neighborhood, but you can only fight for so long,” Renteria said. “This is a great time to sell. A lot of people never dreamed they would be able to walk away with a half a million in their pocket.”

Working in the Barton Hills and Zilker neighborhoods south of Lady Bird Lake, developer Donna Blair concentrates her firm’s efforts on renovating homes as opposed to tearing them down. As a resident of the area, Blair said, her goal is to preserve the existing homes.

Sometimes, though, the costs of renovating are simply too high.

“If you find a house with bad plumbing and a bad slab, it becomes cost prohibitive to

save the house,” said Blair, a co-founder of Blair & Carlisle Homes.

The city’s ability to stave off demolitions is somewhat limited. Despite the city’s notoriously difficult permitting process, redevelopment continues apace, even though some builders who wished to remain anonymous told the Statesman that it can take a year or more for demolition permits to be approved.

The city has made attempts to slow demolitions. In 2006, the so-called McMansion ordinance placed restrictions on the size of homes built in Central Austin that were tied to lot size.

Council Member Kathie Tovo, whose District 9 encompasses much of the 78704 ZIP code where demolitions are happening more frequently than anywhere else locally, said, the city of Austin “makes demolition one of the easiest options (for developers). We are not including enough incentives to keep that structure and allow for an add-on. That would allow people to have additional space or allow that additional unit if that is their intention.”

Tovo said council members and city staffers are weighing a right-to-return policy that could give residents displaced from Austin — or those at-risk of being displaced — priority in qualifying for city-subsidized affordable housing and a possible rent-to-own program.

Questions remain, however, if state law would allow such programs.

City officials also have developed density bonus programs to spur affordable housing in certain areas of Austin, such as West Campus, but those programs typically result in the construction of apartments. In addition, affordable housing bonds have funded maintenance on the homes of low-income residents viewed as being atrisk of being displaced.

Along those lines, Austin voters will be asked to approve a $250 million affordable housing bond on Nov. 6.

Ed Wendler Jr., an Austin developer, said that while tightening restrictions on redevelopment in core neighborhoods might slow demolitions, he does not believe a political will exists for that to happen. He also questioned how effective more rigid redevelopment regulations would be.

“Instead of a $1.5 million, 3,000-square-foot house, you end up with a $1.5 million, 2,200-square-foot house,” Wendler said.

Back in Crestview, Thomas Brown, a leading developer in the area and owner of Paradisa Homes, said the changing face of the neighborhood is a natural development.

“It’s all the homes built in the ’50s and ’60s that haven’t been touched,” Brown said.

“They should be redeveloped and repurposed. A lot are inefficient, dilapidated and need to be razed.”

To Pool, the council member who represents Crestview, a piecemeal approach to curbing redevelopment appears to be no match for the existing market forces.

“To the extent the city can do anything, I don’t know,” Pool said. “The free market is the system we work with. That is a difficult situation.”

Grandpa bodybuilder toned, tan at 65

By CHRIS KENNING Courier Journal

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The ad showed a scrawny weakling getting beach sand kicked in his face by a muscled bully.

That was all it took for 12-year-old Stan Bishop, who sent a check in the mail for Charles Atlas’ 1960s fitness program and plastered it to his South Louisville bedroom wall near a new set of weights.

Fast forward more than five decades, and Bishop is now a 65-year-old grandpa and among the oldest Kentucky bodybuilders to compete in this weekend’s Kentucky Muscle competition, an annual Louisville event that requires training difficult for people half Bishop’s age.

The lifelong pipefitter doesn’t look anything like a typical retiree, with his shaved head, earrings, weathered skin that has endured years of spray tans and the bulging muscles of a three-time national bodybuilding champion. At his age, he said, it takes discipline.

In his Dixie Highway-area home early Thursday morning,

he made his breakfast — 12 egg whites fried on the stove and topped with a mountain of creamed rice. It was the first of the six carefully measured meals he eats daily off paper plates. He explained his strict diet in between large spoonfuls, sitting near a three-dimensional picture of a patriotic eagle as music speakers played Led Zeppelin.

After showing off a collection of wall-mounted medieval broadswords awarded as bodybuilding prizes, he jumped into his gleaming blue Hummer and drove to a gym in a Louisville industrial park.

“What I like most about it is you change your body. It’s like a metamorphosis or whatever.

Your veins stick out, your muscle striations show, your body fat drops to like five percent,” said Bishop, who is 5’6 tall and 166 pounds. “I’m not that big of a guy. So I have to go in kind of shredded. You know.”

Hundreds of competitors from different states and counties are expected at the 17th annual event at the Kentucky International Convention Center, which will include body-

building and figure competitions as well as powerlifting, arm wrestling and strongman events, promoter Brent Jones said.

Jones said the number of bodybuilders competing in 50-and-over age categories has increased in recent years, along with a growing number of women, though those older than 60 are still relatively small in number.

“They aren’t ready to be a traditional retiree,” he said.

It takes Bishop 10 weeks to prepare for these competitions.

He pumps iron daily, does cardio, weighs meals of chicken and red potatoes to the ounce and drinks gallons of water.

Forget eating out. He hasn’t had a Coke in 15 years.

“Believe me, I could down two dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts in two seconds flat,” he said.

Bishop said bodybuilding was in a heyday when he attended high school in Pleasure Ridge Park, graduating in 1971. One of his coaches was later featured in the influential 1977 documentary “Pumping Iron,” featuring the competi-

tion between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno for the title of Mr. Olympia.

After high school, Bishop unsuccessfully tried out for the Cincinnati Reds and spent six years in the Kentucky National Guard before working and traveling as a pipefitter and plumber. He left bodybuilding for years while raising kids, he said, but returned to competitions about 15 years ago.

On Friday, he’ll go to Kentucky Muscle for another spray tan. When it’s time to compete on Saturday, he will walk on stage and do a series of poses and flexes before judges and the crowd. His music of choice has varied from AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” to the band Imagine Dragons, he said.

Bishop’s girlfriend, 51-yearold Barbara Embry, has to become accustomed to the attention he gets, pretty uncommon for a senior.

“You have to be confident.

Because they’re up there, and they look good. And they’re in their posing trunks. And women will say stuff,” she said.

“Once we were coming out of our old gym and these young

girls wolf-whistled at him.”

Bishop said he doesn’t use anabolic steroids, only a strict diet and workout regimen. But Embry hears about it when they’re out in public.

“I overhear comments all the time. ‘I know that guy’s on steroids.’” said Embry, who gets angered because she knows how hard he works.

Bishop will soon turn 66, said he plans to keep at it until injury sidelines him. He has

seen men and women compete in their 70s.

Meantime, retirement means he’ll have more time to spend with his grandkids and do more projects around the house. On his list: Using a chainsaw to make a backyard sculpture of a bodybuilder out of the trunk of a dead box elder tree.

“People think I’m radical,” he said. “I’m just not satisfied with being a regular person.”

Trump: New proposal will lower some US drug prices

WASHINGTON — Less than two weeks before the midterm elections, President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a plan to lower prices for some prescription drugs, saying it would stop unfair practices that force Americans to pay much more than people in other countries for the same medications.

“We are taking aim at the global freeloading that forces American consumers to subsidize lower prices in foreign countries through higher prices in our country,” Trump said

in a speech at the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Same company. Same box. Same pill. Made in the exact same location, and you would go to some countries and it would be 20 percent of the cost of what we pay,” said Trump, who predicted the plan will save Americans billions.

“We’re fixing it.”

But consumers take note: — The plan would not apply to medicines people buy at the pharmacy, just ones administered in a doctor’s office, as are many cancer medications and drugs for immune system problems. Physicianadministered drugs can be

very expensive, but pharmacy drugs account for the vast majority of what consumers buy.

— Don’t expect immediate rollbacks. Officials said the complex proposal could take more than a year to put into effect.

In another twist, the plan is structured as an experiment through a Medicare innovation center empowered to seek savings by the Affordable Care Act. That’s the law also known as “Obamacare,” which Trump is committed to repealing.

Trump has long promised sweeping action to attack drug prices, both as president and when he was running for the White House. He made his lat-

est announcement just ahead of the Nov. 6 elections, with health care high among voters’ concerns.

Under the plan, Medicare payment for drugs administered in doctors’ offices would gradually shift to a level based on international prices. Prices in other countries are lower because governments directly negotiate with manufacturers.

Drugmakers immediately pushed back, arguing the plan amounts to government pricesetting.

“The administration is imposing foreign price controls from countries with socialized health care systems that deny their citizens access and dis-

Steps to achieve a better work-life balance Many people face the challenge of balancing work and family. Workloads may be hefty on both fronts, and the pursuit of a healthy balance between home and career may seem like an unattainable goal.

Stress can build from feelings of being pulled in too many directions. According to Mental Health America, stress can compromise a person’s ability to concentrate, lead to feelings of irritability or depression, negatively affect personal relationships, and weaken immune systems, increasing a person’s susceptibility to a variety of ailments. Research even indicates chronic stress may double a person’s risk of having a heart attack.

The desire to have a fulfilling career and a full life at home is a goal shared by millions of people across the globe. But it’s important that one’s pursuit of such goals not come at the expense of personal health. Living a fulfilling life often involves finding the right work-life balance, and the

following tips can help make that possible.

• Establish your priorities.

Make a list of the things that are most important to you. Having this list put on paper can make goals more attainable. Think about the main things you want to focus on in life and go from there.

• Learn to manage your time.

One of the keys to creating a work-life balance is to hone your time management skills. Effective time management can help you fit more in without feeling rushed or anxious. Start by determining just how much time you need to perform certain tasks.

Then divide up the day accordingly. You may find that by waking up an hour earlier each day, you achieve a lot more without affecting your well-being. Quiet time at home in the morning can be a prime time to fit in a workout or catch up on paperwork.

• Don’t procrastinate. Stick to your schedule so you don’t feel stressed and as if you are constantly rushing around. Com-

plete one item before you move on to the next.

• Communicate effectively with your bosses. Be honest with your bosses or colleagues if you feel like work is negatively impacting your home life. Supervisors may be flexible and receptive to feedback if it means keeping good employees happy and productive. Bosses may allow you to work from home or be willing to arrange a flex schedule.

• Unplug at home. When spending time at home with your loved ones, disconnect from your devices, especially those that connect you to work. Making yourself too available for work can be a detriment to your health and family.

• Divide your responsibilities.

Allow family members to tackle some chores or other household duties so it will free up more time to spend together.

• Schedule a mental break each day. Give yourself time to perform one activity per day that you really enjoy. This will help

you recharge and manage stress even further. Activities may include sports, hobbies or exercise.

Finding the right balance between work and family requires some maneuvering and practice, but it can be achieved with planning, organization and communication.

courage innovation,” Stephen Ubl, president of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, said in a statement. “These proposals are to the detriment of American patients.”

Trump is linking the prices Americans complain about to one of his longstanding grievances: foreign countries the president says are taking advantage of U.S. research breakthroughs.

Drug pricing expert Peter Bach of Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Center for Health Policy and Outcomes called the plan “a pretty substantive proposal” but one that faces “serious political challenges.”

“The rhetoric about finally dealing with foreign freeloading suggests that we are going to take steps to get other countries to pay their fair share for innovation,” Bach added. But that’s “quite literally the opposite of what is being proposed.

What is being proposed is that we freeload off of other countries’ ability to negotiate more effectively.”

Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill were dismissive.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said if Trump wants to save seniors money he should seek congressional approval for Medicare to negotiate prices for its main prescription drug program, “Part D.” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said “it’s hard to take the Trump administration and Republicans seriously about reducing health care costs for seniors two weeks before the election.”

The health insurance industry, at odds with drugmakers over prices, commended the administration’s action.

As an experiment, the proposal would apply to half the country. Officials said they’re seeking input on how to select the areas that will take part in the new pricing system. HHS

Secretary Alex Azar said politics would have nothing to do with it.

In advance of Trump’s speech, HHS released a report that found U.S. prices for the top drugs administered in doctors’ offices are nearly twice as high as in foreign countries. The list includes many cancer drugs. Medicare pays directly for them under its “Part B” coverage for outpatient care.

Physician-administered drugs cost Medicare $27 billion in 2016. HHS says the plan would save Medicare $17.2 billion over five years.

Beneficiaries would save an estimated $3.4 billion through lower cost-sharing.

The plan could meet resistance not only from drugmakers but from doctors, now paid a percentage of the cost of the medications they administer. However, HHS officials said the plan is designed so it would not cut into doctors’ reimbursements.

Azar said more plans are being developed on drug costs.

“This is not the end of the road, the end of the journey,” he said. “There is more coming.”

Trump has harshly criticized the pharmaceutical industry, once asserting that the companies were “getting away with murder.” But it’s largely been business as usual for drugmakers even as Trump has predicted “massive” voluntary price cuts.

A recent Associated Press analysis of prices for brandname drugs found far more increases than cuts in the first seven months of this year. The analysis found 96 price hikes for every price cut. The number of increases slowed somewhat and they were not quite as steep as in past years, the AP found.

The Trump administration proposal is open for public comment for 60 days.
