In the news Students defrauded by colleges score win in court decision WASHINGTON — Students defrauded by for-profit colleges scored an important victory on Tuesday, when a court cleared the way for an Obama-era policy that will make it easier for them to get their student loans forgiven. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos had said the regulation, known as borrower defense, made discharging loans too easy and was unfair to taxpayers. The rule was due to take effect in July 2017, but DeVos froze it while she worked on devising a new regulation. But U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ruled last month that DeVos’ delay was unlawful. On Tuesday, he denied a request by an organization representing for-profit colleges in California, to further postpone the rule, thus paving the way for borrower defense to enter into force. “The rule is finally in effect. No more excuses. No more delays,” said Julie Murray, an attorney with Public Citizen, who is representing the defrauded students in their suit against DeVos. Education Department spokeswoman Liz Hill said DeVos “respects the role of the court and accepts the court’s decision” and will soon provide information about how the regulation will be implemented. But DeVos continues to regard the regulation as “bad policy” and will continue writing a new rule “that protects both borrowers and taxpayers,” Hill said in a statement Tuesday.

Mega Millions jackpot now $667M, 3rd largest in US history DES MOINES, Iowa — The Mega Millions prize was already giant, but now it’s even bigger. Lottery officials have increased the estimated jackpot for Tuesday night’s drawing from $654 million to $667 million, making it the thirdlargest grand prize in U.S. history. The increase reflects a surge in ticket sales. The record lottery jackpot was a $1.6 billion Powerball prize won in January 2016. Although the Mega Millions prize has grown larger, the odds of winning remain the same, at a dismal one in 302.5 million. The $667 million jackpot refers to the annuity option, paid out over 29 years. The cash option, which is favored by nearly all winners, is $380 million. — The Associated Press

Alaska lieutenant governor resigns By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott resigned Tuesday over unspecified inappropriate comments, complicating what was already a difficult re-election fight for Gov. Bill Walker. Mallott, in his resignation letter, said his decision was “compelled by inappropriate comments I made that placed a person whom I respect and revere in a position of vulnerability.” He apologized and acknowledged that his actions had compromised Walker’s ability to lead the state. The nature of the comments remained unclear. Mallott did not immediately return a phone message seeking details, and Walker did not take questions during a news conference with Mallott’s successor, Valerie Davidson. Until Tuesday, she had served as the state health commissioner. Walker’s office also provided few details. In a statement, Walker said he learned late Monday that Mallott — a man with whom he has shared a brother-like bond — had made comments not suitable for his office. “As leaders, we must hold

ourselves to the highest standards of conduct,” Walker said. The resignation was announced shortly after Walker participated in an at-times testy debate in Anchorage with his two chief rivals, Democrat Mark Begich and Republican Mike Dunleavy. Davidson said she was “deeply saddened” by Mallott’s resignation and “profoundly disappointed by his conduct.” “Respect for women, and the dignity of all Alaskans, is our responsibility,” she said in a release. Walker, in a separate statement, said it’s too late for Mallott to remove his name from the ballot but that Mallott would not accept the position of lieutenant governor if elected. He said Davidson would assume the role of his running mate. Walker campaign manager John-Henry Heckendorn said the campaign has been in conversations with Begich’s campaign for several days about a “path forward for Alaska.” He declined to go into details, but he said the conversations were prompted by concerns about Dunleavy and the dynamics of a three-way race. The talks so far have been “inconclusive” but will continue, Heckendorn said. Libertarian Billy Toien also

is running. A message was left with Begich’s campaign manager. Mallott and Walker had forged a tight bond since joining forces as part of a unity ticket in 2014. That year, they each were running for governor and saw joining together as their best shot at defeating Republican Gov. Sean Parnell. As part of the arrangement, supported by state Democrats, Walker changed his party affiliation from Republican to undeclared and Mallott, a Democrat,

abandoned his gubernatorial ambitions to be Walker’s running mate. They narrowly won. On Tuesday, as Walker and Davidson held their brief news conference at the governor’s office in Anchorage, the largest gathering of Alaska Natives in the state was being held nearby at the city’s convention center. Word of Mallott’s resignation was beginning to circulate among the delegates at the Alaska Federation of Natives conference, where Mallott, an Alaska Native leader from

southeast Alaska, had long been treated as a rock star. “Oh my God!” said Victoria Campbell when informed of Mallott’s use of inappropriate comments. Then she asked what was on the minds of many Alaskans: “Towards who?” The Democrat from Gambell, located on St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea between Russia and the United States, said she didn’t know enough to comment on the resignation but did say it wouldn’t affect her vote for Walker.

Gov. Walker tackles array of questions By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula’s economy has long been dependent on oil and gas. What will you do to boost the economy on the Kenai Peninsula beyond oil and gas? Well, beyond oil and gas, certainly agriculture. The blue economy. We have oyster farms. We have kelp salsa now made in Alaska. We have kelp beer now. I had some kelp beer in Kodiak. We need to be using and looking at all of our resources across the state, not just oil and gas. However, we’re still going to be a resource state. There’s no doubt about that. The largest project is on track to come to Kenai. A lot of people on the peninsula are counting on the success of the LNG project, but there is a long way to go before it will start bringing in money. What policies do you plan on putting in place to make sure this project happens? The policy is never to give up and continue to lead from the front and not to sit back and wait for someone to do it for us. That’s the model we’ve had before, and that’s what Sen. Dunleavy talked about.

He would move back to that model that’s gotten us nowhere in 40 years. The governor of Alaska is the CEO of Alaska. You need to be the CEO of the company and lead the project, as I have. We need to sit down at the White House with the president of the United States, president of China, president of Korea, president of Vietnam, president of Tokyo Gas. That’s where the governor of Alaska needs to be the leader of this — and not sit back and hope somebody works it into their portfolio. You’ve got to have a governor that understands it, that knows it, that’s going to lead, and step up and make the project happen. You got a lot of flack for reducing the Permanent Fund Dividend. What do you think the future of the PFD is considering Alaska’s deficit and economy? We saved the PFD. We saved the program. It was on its way out. You look at any of the analysis done by the legislative financial analysts. If we hadn’t made that change, the PFD was at risk. We had to make the decision. Did we want to have it around for generations or a couple high years and then it goes away? You overdraw on that, you are going to do that.

Gov. Bill Walker

We did what we did to save the PFD. It has now grown to $1,600. About eight years ago, it was $800. Now it’s on track for another couple hundred. It’s going to continue to grow over time. The thing is, it’s going

For 1st time, residents air concerns to Marijuana Control Board in Kenai By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office met in Kenai for the first time, with members of public from across the state convening at the Kenai Legislative Office on Tuesday morning to present public testimony to the Marijuana Control Board. The board accepted public testimony for nearly an hour before cutting people off to move forward with the agenda. People came forth to express concerns to the board mainly about public cannabis events and licensing.

Rain, flooding in Seward area prompts state of emergency By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce declared a state of emergency Tuesday due to flooding events in the borough, a press release from community and fiscal projects manager Brenda Ahlberg states. The city of Seward also declared a state of emergency today when stormwater and debris caused damage to roads, bridges and public facilities, the release states. Seward, Bear Creek and Lowell Point are included in the declaration. In another press release,

the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District announced that all Seward schools would release early Tuesday due to area weather and flooding. All after-school programs are canceled. The district will announce Wednesday’s school schedule as more information is available. Moose Pass School will continue on a normal schedule. The borough’s Emergency Operations Center is providing resource requests to residents in affected areas. The center will continue to monitor water levels and assess damage, the release said.

Rural counties also recovering from Michael By BRENDAN FARRINGTON Associated Press

MARIANNA, Fla. — Haylie Byler and her husband were just beginning life in their new home when Hurricane Michael’s monstrous winds mowed down a dozen trees on their property, more than an hour’s drive inland from where the storm made landfall. They had made only one house payment and no payments yet on his new truck when Michael toppled a tree onto the dwelling, another onto the truck and a third on their other car. For four days, Byler had to climb over huge pine tree trunks to get in and out of her home. “I have cried two or three times a day,” the 26-year-old elementary school teacher said as chain saws buzzed behind her, wielded by church volunteers from more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) away. They arrived out of the blue to help. While much of the world’s attention has been focused on badly battered coastal communities such as Mexico Beach and Panama City, Michael also devastated mostly rural areas all the way into Alabama and Georgia. Marianna, in Jackson County, was hit with stronger winds than it has ever seen despite being about 70 miles (about 115 kilometers) north of Mexico Beach, where Michael came ashore last week. Days after the storm, 268 people there were still in shelters, power was out throughout the county and cellphone service had only been restored within Marianna. Outlying areas have had no way to communicate. Emergency workers were still conducting search and rescue operations because many people remained stuck in their homes. Similar destruction visited community after community in Florida, all the way from coastal Gulf County to the Alabama border, where seaside escapes give way to cotton fields, cattle and timber lots. Parks Camp, the science and operations officer at the National Weather Service Tallahassee

office, said winds reached 102 mph (164 kph) before its measuring devices failed in the middle of the storm. Wind speeds could have gone higher, he said. Jackson County emergency management director Rodney Andreasen had his own home was destroyed. He said in his 21 years in the military and 18 years in his current position, he’s never seen anything like this destruction. Andreasen said the county’s power grid was destroyed and it could be a month until it’s restored, and the number of damaged and destroyed homes is too high to even estimate. One person died when a tree crushed him in the storm and the death toll could still rise, Andreasen said. “Our house was destroyed. We’re homeless right now,” Andreasen said as his wife Donna sat nearby. “We’re victims.” Many in Florida’s inland communities usually don’t make the same preparations as people closer to the coast. Few evacuate, and the frantic run for food, water and supplies also isn’t as great. Shauna Benefield, 20, and her boyfriend, Alex Edwards, 21, live just north of Marianna’s historic downtown in his family’s home. They didn’t stock up. After the storm cleared, Edwards had to drive 50 miles (80 kilometers) to DeFuniak Springs for water, food and gas. There was nowhere nearby to get any in the immediate aftermath. Trees around their home snapped in half, some landing on the roof and sending his family to the basement for shelter. They’ve cleared limbs from the roof, and put up blue tarps. But they still have no water or electricity. Still, they say, there’s been a strong neighbor-helping-neighbor response. They’ve given out water and bananas. “It’s not just about us, it’s about everyone,” said Edwards, shirtless with a tattoo on his chest that reads “Walk with God. Die when my time’s up” as he helped clear the mess around the house. That same spirit of generos-

ity is evident across the ravaged region. “We’ve got a lot of people who’ve lost their farms, their barns, their crops,” said Jill Braxton, 46, of Vernon in Wash-

ington County, which is north of Panama City and west of Marianna. She had a pickup truck full of hay to distribute to other horse owners.

Longtime Anchorage resident, Mr. James F. Thorne, Jr. passed away on October 3, 2018 at home. Born in Detroit, Michigan to James and Joanne Thorne, James began his residency in Alaska in 1974. He was a hard-working man, who loved his family and many friends. He loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor. James loved Alaska, and enjoyed outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, hunting, skiing, and his all-time favorite: traveling throughout much of Alaska in his Airstream. He also had great interest in science, space exploration, astronomy, NASA, and rockets. He was also a great cook and loved music. James was always there to lend a helping hand or open his home. He was a dedicated father, husband, brother, and friend. He gave love, is loved, and will be greatly missed. He was preceded in death by his parents James and Joanne Thorne; his spouse Kathy Thorne-Heaps, nephew Matthew Thorne, and second wife Lois Thorne. He is survived by his children: David Thorne, Brieann Thorne, and James F. Thorne, III; grandchildren: Riley, Landen, Samuel, Kadence, and James IV; daughter in law Monica Thorne, and siblings: Robert Thorne, Patricia Stein, Andrew Thorne, Susanne Thorne, Ann Ketterling, and Christine Manuel; Step-children: Shilo, Whitney, Garth, McKenna, Paige, Devin, and Trevor; and first wife Kathy Moore. James’ immediate family will meet for his burial on Friday, October 19, 2018 at 12:00 PM at Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery, followed by a wake at Reilly’s Irish Pub, 317 W. Fireweed Lane, at 3:00 PM. Services under the direction of Anchorage Funeral Home. To leave online condolences, please visit James’ online guestbook at www. alaskanfuneral.com

What Others Say

Be prepared for the flu People anticipate October for a number of reasons. The start of flu season doesn’t tend to be on the top of that list. However, since October also signifies winter’s approach, it means flu season is just around the corner. And since it takes flu shots a couple of weeks to fully kick in, October is also the month for people to start thinking about being vaccinated. Although people can be affected by the flu at any time during the year, the virus tends to be most common in the winter. In Mississippi, flu season is typically most intense between December and February, Mississippi State Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Byers told the Daily Journal’s Michaela Morris. This year’s season comes on the heels of a particularly deadly one. Nationally, the Centers for Disease Control reported an estimated 80,000 people died due to influenza and related complications during 2017-18. In an average year, the CDC estimates about 36,000 people die from the flu and complications. Children were particularly hard hit by the disease, which claimed 181 U.S. children last year, including three in Mississippi. Nationally, 80 percent of those who died were not vaccinated. Part of the reason for the intensity of last year’s season is that the vaccine was not fully effective. The H3N2 strain was one of the most common last year, and H3 strains of the virus are typically more difficult to vaccinate against. Byers said H3 strains historically have been associated with difficult flu seasons. It’s too early to know how severe this year’s season will be. But it’s important to get vaccinated now, regardless. Some people may be tempted to skip the shot, especially after hearing anecdotes of people who got vaccinated last year and still ended up getting infected. Medical experts say, however, that in cases when the shot doesn’t prevent infection, it does reduce the severity of the sickness. According to mayoclinic.org, “Even when the vaccine doesn’t completely prevent the flu, it may lessen the severity of your illness and the risk of serious complications.” The website also recommends additional steps to protect oneself from the flu and other viruses. Those include: Wash your hands often and thoroughly with soap and water Use an alcohol-based sanitizer on your hands if soap and water aren’t available Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth whenever possible Avoid crowds when the flu is most prevalent in your area Practice good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, drink plenty of fluids, eat a nutritious diet and manage your stress Like it or not, flu season will be here soon. Roll up your sleeve, get your shot and take other preventative measures to stay safe.

Nice guys still finish last It's Major League Baseball playoff season, as well as the run-up to the elections. Oh, the games people play. Way back when, in the early 20th century sometime, New York Giants manager John "Mugsy" McGraw was the first to utter an important life lesson for those who play either form of "Hardball" (thank you, Chris Matthews). "Nice guys," he growled, "finish last." Leo Durocher liked it so much, he plagiarized it decades later. But it's wisdom the Democrats are only now allowing to penetrate their cluelessness. "Really?" they whimper in amazement. "It's not enough to be righteous?" Not when it's self-righteous, which is what so many Americans perceive them to be, along with sanctimonious. Nor is it enough when the other team is governed by a mindset of "whatever it takes to win," fair or foul. Back in John McGraw's day, the crosstown Yankees with Babe Ruth dominated "America's Pastime." These days, in our other pastime, the Republicans succeed by being ruthless. They

don't really stand for the interests of the great bulk of Americans, opting instead to represent the wealthy few, who long ago realized, as Will Rogers declared, that we have "The best Congress that money can buy." Actually, Mr. Rogers was only in the neighborhood. It's really the best government money can buy. And even that is not true, because, in many cases, it's really a pretty feckless one, which suits the GOP just fine. It keeps their rich patrons happy because they don't want to be effectively regulated as they pursue their money-grubbing ways. The Democrats like to think they're above all that sleaziness, which is totally wrong for two reasons: First of all, the D's scrounge for dollars as much as the R's do for rubles. Oh, I'm sorry: that's only Donald Trump. Besides, even if they were squeaky-clean, they actually need to be willing to roll around in the mud. Michelle Obama's "When they go low, we go high" just won't cut it in a knife fight, particularly when it comes across as being high and mighty.

Another sports description about politics: it's a "contact sport." Put another way, you have to lie, cheat and steal to succeed. The truth is, the truth doesn't matter. Just ask the guy who lies constantly and lays his head most every night on a White House pillow. Time for his enemies to learn some hard lessons from him. If someone hits you, you don't turn the other cheek, unless it's a head fake before you beat the living snot out of your assailant. There are plenty of other careers in America where success is achieved by acting honorably. Although, come to think of it ... Democrats have evolved from working-class champions to effete snobs. Too many don't understand that cheap shots work in campaigns, the kind the other side puts out constantly in their TV ads. Cheap shots are expensive. It costs a lot to conduct oppo research and then distort it in TV spots. The liberals need to accept that the only way for a candidate to set up shop inside the Beltway is to hit his or her opponent below the belt. Just like the conservatives do.

Lisa, Kavanaugh and abortion

Forty-one years in Alaska and two runs for the U.S. Senate myself against Ted Stevens and Mark Begich have provided me abundant opportunity to see what is at play with our politics. Even as we speak, many Alaskan legislators and most citizens are unaware of the betrayal by our congressional delegation in the statehood act’s mandate for a 90/10 split in federal oil royalties, selling our birthright for a mess of 50/50 pottage. They have not read about Ted Stevens’ role in deforming our birth prior to statehood as an Interior Department lawyer, then his “heroic” rescue of our state through titanic infusions of federal monies. Not surprisingly, this continued the same dependency and control by the federal government from whose liberation was the entire reason behind statehood. Ernest Gruening certainly knew that in his famous 1955 speech. Lisa Murkowski, part of this betrayal, was already a suspected RINO while in the state legislature, a reliable and scandalous vote for abortion “rights” that was never addressed by Alaska’s Catholic bishops, whom have always toed the line of the left wing of the — Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, Oct. 9 Church. The Murkowski Family Fix that was perpetrated by Governor Frank Murkowski, appointing his daughter to his own seat, provided a bad taste in Alaskans’ mouth that Letters to the Editor: even the Republican legislature tried to adE-mail: dress shortly thereafter. news@peninsulaclarion.com When Lisa was on the hook to keep that seat against Tony Knowles in a race that evWrite: Fax: Peninsula Clarion 907-283-3299 ery pollster knew would be close, the media P.O.

The Peninsula Clarion welcomes letters and attempts to publish all those received, subject to a few guidelines: n All letters must include the writer’s name, phone number and address. n Letters are limited to 500 words and may be edited to fit available space. Letters are run in the order they are received. n Letters addressed specifically to another person will not be printed. n Letters that, in the editor’s judgment, are libelous will not be printed. n The editor also may exclude letters that are untimely or irrelevant to the public interest. n Short, topical poetry should be submitted to Poet’s Corner and will not be printed on the Opinion page. n Submissions from other publications will not be printed. n Applause letters should recognize public-spirited service and contributions. Personal thank-you notes will not be published.

A few Democ r a t s are even saying so publicly, like former Attorney G e n eral Eric Bob Franken H o l d e r, who got a rousing cheer with his "When they go low, we kick them." He didn't say where you kick them, but use your imagination. Even Hillary Clinton, who personified her party's inner sanctimony when she ran for president, caused a few gasps when she declared, "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for." Some liberals probably got the vapors when she said that, but she was taught a bitter lesson by Donald Trump, who now occupies the White House, riding a crest through the hateful gutters of his campaign and his dangerous presidency. Hillary's superior qualifications amounted to nothing.

V oices of the

P eninsula B ob B ird That supposedly uninfluential group of right wing extremists had to weigh the bad options. “No endorsement” was what emerged, with a statement that while Knowles would certainly never vote for any future Republican supreme court nominee, Lisa might. Alaska RTL’s prescience was spot-on, as Lisa voted for Neil Gorsuch, whose seat would not change the balance of abortion votes on the court, but certainly knew on what side her bread was buttered when it came to Kavanaugh. The sexual accusations were a mere red-herring for the real issue at play. For Alaskans wondering about the true reason for Lisa’s “No Vote” for Judge Kavanaugh, it was abortion first and foremost. While I myself might not have voted for Kavanaugh (see below), and his commitment to returning states rights and overturning Roe v. Wade is utterly suspect, Lisa was not taking any chances, which apparently Maine RINO Susan Collins was willing to do. Part and parcel of this mess have been Alaska’s Catholic bishops, past and present. They have never uttered one word of either admonishment or explanation regarding Lisa, her fellow Catholic Mark Begich, or any other

Headpatting assurances that they have been working behind the scenes ring as hollow as their commitment to rooting out the homosexual mafia that is increasingly seen as controlling the Catholic hierarchy worldwide. But just how committed to Constitutional principles is Kavanaugh? It certainly is not from his non-defense of the 4th Amendment, which the Patriot Act flies in the face of, nor in his dutiful work for the Clintons in the Vince Foster “suicide” case. The proper questions to have directed at Kavanaugh should have gone there, as well as the following: “Where in the constitution does the federal government derive its power to interfere with the states in regards to legislating social issues? What is your opinion on the legitimacy of the 14th Amendment’s passage in 1868? What is your opinion regarding the expansive use of the 14th as it interferes with freedom of religion?” Lisa owes her seat to a controversial appointment from Daddy, a non-endorsement from the pro-life movement in the face of someone even more radical than herself, and a suspected Machiavellian write-in election whose legitimacy has never been properly investigated, an investigation that might have turned the integrity of Alaska’s election system on its head.

Sen. Warren’s DNA claim inflames some Native Americans By SEAN MURPHY Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — The DNA test that Sen. Elizabeth Warren used to try to rebut the ridicule of President Donald Trump angered some Native Americans, who complained that the genetic analysis cheapens the identities of tribal members with deeper ties to the Indian past. Warren was born in Oklahoma, which is home to 39 tribes and where more than 7 percent of the population identifies as Native American, one of the highest proportions in the nation. But she’s not a member of any tribe, and many Indians take exception to anyone who claims to be part Indian without being enrolled in a tribe, especially for political purposes. “It adds fuel to that misconception that I can go out, get a DNA test and then, boom, that’s all I really need,” said Brandon Scott, a Cherokee Nation citizen and the executive editor of tribe’s newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix. “But the facts of the matter are you need a lot more than that.”

The nation’s 573 federally recognized tribes collectively do not have a single standard for determining membership. Tribes like the Cherokee Nation use lineal descent, meaning a person is Cherokee if an ancestor is listed on an original roll regardless of their amount of Indian blood. Descendants of black slaves the Cherokee once owned are also members of the tribe. DNA tests are not typically used as evidence to determine tribal membership. The genetic results released Monday provide some evidence of a Native American in Warren’s lineage, though the ancestor probably lived six to 10 generations ago. Native Americans also resented Trump’s continuing use of Indian heritage as a means to mock Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts who is widely expected to run for president in 2020. Trump’s references to Warren as “fake Pocahontas” are particularly offensive because they show how pop culture has glossed over the treatment of Native Americans, particularly women, said Chelsey Branham, a member of the Chickasaw Nation.

“It’s a sore topic to begin with,” said Branham, a Democratic candidate for a state House seat in Oklahoma City. “Then on top of that, using it as a derisive term to put someone down, it’s a racial slur. It certainly was offensive to me.” Many Oklahomans take pride in their Indian blood even if, as in Warren’s case, they cannot trace an ancestor to the original tribal rolls. “Even in 1907, people were proud of that Indian heritage,” said Bob Blackburn, executive director of the Oklahoma Historical Society, referring to the

year Indian Territory was dissolved and became part of the new 46th state of Oklahoma. The ceremony was marked with a symbolic “wedding” between an Indian woman and a white man. Questions about Warren’s heritage first emerged during her race for the Senate in 2012, when reports surfaced that she listed herself as a racial minority in an academic legal directory. Trump then made the “Pocahontas” jibe a laugh line at his rallies in 2016 after Warren became an outspoken critic.

Head of firm behind Trump dossier won’t talk to House panel By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The cofounder of a political research firm that was behind a dossier of allegations about President Donald Trump’s connections to Russia refused to speak to two House committees during a closed-door interview Tuesday. A lawyer for Glenn Simpson said in a statement that he had exercised his Fifth Amendment rights and refused to answer questions from the GOP-led House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees, which are investigating decisions made by the Justice Department in the run-up to the 2016 election. Republicans on the committee have criticized the department, echoing Trump’s repeated claims that officials there were conspiring against him as they investigated his ties to Russia and cleared his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, in a separate email probe. The dossier — which was researched by former British spy Christopher Steele, compiled by Simpson’s firm Fusion GPS and paid for by Democrats — contends that the Russian government amassed compromising information about Trump and had been engaged in a yearslong effort to support

and assist him. Republicans have argued that the dossier was inappropriately used by the Justice Department before the election as investigators obtained a warrant to put one of Trump’s campaign advisers under surveillance. Simpson’s lawyer, Joshua Levy, said the committees’ investigation is a partisan attempt to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. He compared it to Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s anti-Communist hearings in the 1950s. “Rather than participate any further in this charade, Mr. Simpson today stood on his constitutional rights,” Levy wrote. Levy also criticized the committee for forcing Simpson to come in even though he had said he wouldn’t testify. Simpson has already cooperated with three congressional investigations into Russian intervention into the 2016 elections, and two of those committees, the House Intelligence Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee, have published transcripts of his interviews. The Judiciary Committee had subpoenaed Simpson to appear on Tuesday. The questioners were mostly staff as the House is on recess before the midterm elections. House Judiciary Chairman

Robert Goodlatte, R-Va., said in a statement after the meeting that it was disappointing that Simpson wouldn’t talk to the committee. He said he was “uniquely qualified” to answer questions about the dossier. Trump tweeted about Simpson after the meeting, quoting a Fox News report about Simpson pleading the Fifth and asking why a Justice Department official who met with Simpson before the presidential election, Bruce Ohr, was still employed at Justice. Republicans have seized on that meeting, noting that Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked for Simpson’s firm and implying that the Justice Department officials were somehow co-

ordinating with Fusion GPS to use the Democratic-funded research. Simpson has said he met with Ohr because he was anxious that federal investigators were not taking seriously enough the threat of Russian election interference and the information that Steele had accumulated. Trump tweeted: “Is it really possible that Bruce Ohr, whose wife Nellie was paid by Simpson and GPS Fusion for work done on the Fake Dossier, and who was used as a Pawn in this whole SCAM (WITCH HUNT), is still working for the Department of Justice????? Can this really be so?????”

Authorities say nearly 130 guns were found inside the South Carolina home of a man charged with killing a police officer and wounding six others earlier this month. Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said Tuesday that it appeared only three of the 129 guns were fired at officers on Oct. 3 — a pistol and two military assault rifles. Lott says 74-year-old Frederick Hopkins set his house up to ambush law enforcement officers and said it was fortunate more officers weren’t hurt or killed. He didn’t go into specifics. Hopkins was hurt, but authorities haven’t said how he was injured or how he was captured. Lott says Hopkins shot at officers coming to question his 28-year-old son about a child sex assault case.

Idaho wildlife official resigns after killing baboon family BOISE, Idaho — A top Idaho wildlife official has resigned amid outrage over a photo of him posing with a baboon family he killed in Africa. Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter said in a statement that he asked for and accepted Blake Fischer’s resignation on Monday, three days after the Idaho Statesman newspaper published the first report about a photo of Fischer smiling with four dead baboons propped in front of him. Fischer and his wife shot at least 14 animals in Namibia according to the photos and descriptions in an email he sent to more than 100 recipients. The baboon family photo showed blood visible on the abdomen of the smallest baboon, its head lolling back to rest on the chest of one of the dead adult baboons. Fischer killed them using a bow and arrows, visible in the bottom of the picture. Fischer was one of seven members on the Idaho Fish and Game Commission. Otter appoints commissioners and under Idaho law can also remove them. Otter initially appointed in 2014 and reappointed him in June. “I have high expectations and standards for every appointee in state government,” Otter said. “Every member of my administration is expected to exercise good judgment. Commissioner Fischer did not.” — The Associated Press

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Oct. 17, the 290th day of 2018. There are 75 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 17, 1933, Albert Einstein arrived in the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany. On this date: In 1610, French King Louis XIII, age nine, was crowned at Reims, five months after the assassination of his father, Henry IV. In 1777, British forces under Gen. John Burgoyne surrendered to American troops in Saratoga, New York, in a turning point of the Revolutionary War. In 1807, Britain declared it would continue to reclaim British-born sailors from American ships and ports regardless of whether they held U.S. citizenship. In 1931, mobster Al Capone was convicted in Chicago of income tax evasion. (Sentenced to 11 years in prison, Capone was released in 1939.) In 1939, Frank Capra’s comedy-drama “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” starring James Stewart as an idealistic junior U.S. senator, had its premiere in the nation’s capital. In 1941, the U.S. destroyer Kearny was damaged by a German torpedo off the coast of Iceland; 11 people died. In 1967, Puyi (poo-yee), the last emperor of China, died in Beijing at age 61. In 1973, Arab oil-producing nations announced they would begin cutting back oil exports to Western nations and Japan; the result was a total embargo that lasted until March 1974. In 1979, Mother Teresa of India was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1989, an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale struck northern California, killing 63 people and causing $6 billion worth of damage. In 1992, Japanese exchange student Yoshi Hattori was fatally shot by Rodney Peairs in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after Hattori and his American host mistakenly knocked on Peairs’ door while looking for a Halloween party. (Peairs was acquitted of manslaughter, but was ordered in a civil trial to pay more than $650,000 to Hattori’s family.)

Ten years ago: Wall Street ended a tumultuous week that turned out to be its best in five years. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 127 points, closing at 8,852.22, but turned in the strong week because of two huge days of gains -- a record 936-point jump the previous Monday and an increase of 401 points on Thursday. Four Tops frontman Levi Stubbs died in Detroit at age 72. Five years ago: The government reopened its doors hours after President Barack Obama signed a bipartisan congressional measure passed the night before to end a 16-day partial shutdown. The Boston Red Sox edged the Detroit Tigers 4-3 for a 3-2 lead in the AL championship series. One year ago: Just hours before President Donald Trump’s latest travel ban was due to take effect, a federal judge in Hawaii blocked most of the ban, saying it suffered from the same flaws as the previous version.

World 7 killed in Morocco train derailment By AMIRA EL MASAITI Associated Press

RABAT, Morocco — At least seven people died and nearly 80 were injured after a shuttle train linking the Moroccan capital to a town farther north on the Atlantic coast derailed Tuesday, authorities at the accident site said. The train derailed about halfway between Rabat and the town of Kenitra, near the city of Sale. Tangled in the wreckage were doors and seats that had been gouged out of place, while passengers’ belongings and glass from broken windows littered the accident site. Emergency workers rushed people to hospitals in Rabat, Sale and Kenitra while rescue teams searched for more victims with the help of cadaver dogs. Military personnel guarded the site as railway workers and authorities started to investigate why the train jumped its tracks. Local residents were the first to reach the scene in the town of Sidi Bouknadel, helping in-

sound was unbearable,” Mourad El Kbiri, who owns a cafe near where the train detailed, told The Associated Press. “I rushed to see what happened. It was horrific. Disfigured bodies all over the place, blood and body

pieces.” The Center for Blood Immunization declared a state of emergency and dispatched blood collection vehicles to Rabat, Kenitra, Sale and Sidi Bouknadel to receive donors.

ISTANBUL — Police searching the Saudi Consulate found evidence that Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi was killed there, a high-level Turkish official said Tuesday, and authorities appeared ready to also search the nearby residence of the consul general after the diplomat left the country. The comment by the Turkish official to The Associated Press intensified pressure on Saudi Arabia to explain what happened to Khashoggi, who vanished Oct. 2 while visiting the consulate to pick up paperwork

he need to get married. President Donald Trump said after a phone call with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that he “totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their Turkish Consulate.” The crown prince “told me that he has already started, and will rapidly expand, a full and complete investigation into this matter. Answers will be forthcoming shortly,” Trump said in a tweet. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo traveled to Saudi Arabia to talk to King Salman and the 33-year-old crown prince about the fate of the journalist who wrote critically about the Saudis for the Washington Post.

NAIROBI, Kenya — The U.S. military on Tuesday announced its deadliest airstrike against the al-Shabab extremist group in Somalia in nearly a year, killing about 60 fighters. The U.S. Africa Command said Friday’s airstrike occurred near the al-Shabab-controlled community of Harardere in Mudug province in the central part of the country. According to its assessment no civilians were injured or killed, the statement said. It was the largest U.S. airstrike since one on Nov. 21, 2017, killed about 100 al-Shabab fighters. The statement gave no further details about what was targeted, and a U.S. Africa Command spokesman said it was not a camp. The U.S. military has carried out more than two dozen airstrikes, including drone strikes, this year against the al-Qaidalinked al-Shabab, the deadliest Islamic extremist group in subSaharan Africa. Somalia on Sunday marked the first anniversary of al-Shabab’s deadliest attack, a truck bombing in Mogadishu that killed well over 500 people. It was one of the world’s deadliest attacks since 9/11 and the worst extremist attack ever in Africa. The U.S. Africa Command spokesman said the airstrike had no link to the anniversary. The United States, which also has targeted a small number of fighters linked to the Islamic State group in northern Somalia, has increased its military presence in the long-chaotic Horn of Africa nation since early 2017 to about 500 personnel after President Donald Trump approved expanded military operations. Al-Shabab, which seeks to establish an Islamic state in Somalia, continues to hold parts of the country’s south and central regions after being chased out of Mogadishu several years ago. The group, estimated at several thousands of fighters, still carries out deadly attacks against high-profile targets such as hotels and checkpoints in the capital and other cities. It also remains a threat in parts of neighboring Kenya.

While it was all smiles and handshakes in Riyadh, one prominent Republican senator said he believed that the crown prince, widely known as MBS, had Khashoggi “murdered.” “This guy has got to go,” said

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, speaking on Fox television. “Saudi Arabia, if you’re listening, there are a lot of good people you can choose, but MBS has tainted your country and tainted himself.”

MOSCOW — Ukraine’s military says a Ukrainian fighter jet crashed during a joint exercise with U.S. and other NATO air forces, killing both pilots. The General Staff of Ukraine’s armed forces said the twoseat Su-27UB went down on Tuesday in the Kmelnitskyi region. It said a rescue team found the jet’s two pilots dead. The U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Africa issued a statement saying it was aware of “reports claiming a U.S. casualty.” The command said it “can confirm a U.S. service member was involved in this incident,” but stopped short of confirming the American’s death. Personnel from nine nations are taking part in the Clear Sky 2018 exercises that started in Ukraine on Oct. 8.

Our turkey meatloaf offers a lighter take on the classic

‘G rannie ’ A nnie B erg

Ready for winter: Canning, freezing garden’s bounty This is the time of year in Alaska that we put things away that we drug out of their winter hiding place. They go back into hiding in the old greenhouse that turns into a storage shed for a lawn mower, shovels and a lot of garden pots and things we NEED to make our house look nice in the summer. Bob has a woodshed full of wood. We have all the vehicles in good repair, including the old snowplow. I have new struts and tires on my car. We even located the snow shovel BEFORE it snows! For those who have gardens I would assume you have dug potatoes, gathered in the cabbage and root vegetables. This year we had an overload of wonderful Porter tomatoes. I wrapped some green ones in newspaper, and pickled the small green tomatoes in pint jars to have on hand for a treat during the winter. I also pickled salmon, which this year was the very best. I have been doing this for several years and this year again I used white vinegar and white wine. YUP they are good! Recipes follows in recipe section. One year Betty and Gene Coulter had an abundance of Red McClure potatoes from a plot he dug on the homestead. I had heard you could freeze potatoes, so I froze about 25 pounds. I cannot remember if I blanched them first or just scrubbed and froze them. Betty and Gene are gone now, so I cannot ask them. Betty shared the secret of freezing potatoes. She swore me to secrecy. Well, it is well-kept, because I cannot remember. The potatoes were great in soups and stews. But they took up a lot of room in the big freezer that we needed for moose and fish. Does anyone freeze potatoes? If so let me know! In the early 1940s on the farm in Colorado, Dad fed potatoes to his cattle. There was an excess of potatoes all over northern Colorado and the government paid the potato farmers to get rid of the surplus. They were sprayed purple and everyone was told they were not for human consumption. That was not a deterrent for our Mom. She just scrubbed them in warm water, peeled them and we had potato everything all that winter. The purple potatoes had to be ground up for the cows because a half or whole potato would get caught in the throats of cattle and they would choke to death. So grinding purple potatoes was the job of my brother, John, and I. We would throw the potatoes in the hopper and grind them. They then fell out into a wheelbarrow. Dad would take the wheelbarrow and dump it into the feed trough. The cattle slurped and slobbered – they loved potatoes. Susan and Porter dehydrate sliced tomatoes – oh they are scrumptious! I will do this in about a week as my wrapped-in-newspaper tomatoes are getting ripe all at once! Our Mom used to can tomatoes. I find it so much easier to buy a can at the store. They are not that expensive and not as much work as canning tomatoes. Mom’s expertise was making dill and bread butter pickles from Pickle Bill’s pickle patch. He grew them for his pickle “factory,” as we called it. They were great-tasting pickles in a jar, but did not hold a candle to Mom’s pickles. Our meal always included pickles that sat in a special pickle dish in the middle of the dinner and supper table. (Dinner meaning lunch and supper meaning dinner, nowadays!) Mom made chili from the pinto beans grown in Dad’s field. She always served dill pickles with her delicious chili, homemade bread and crackers. I never make chili these days without thinking I should have a dill pickle with it! Another thing Mom was so good at was canning peaches, pears and plumbs. When the new addition to the house was built, she had Dad build her a big pantry in the basement that held all her goodies that she canned during the summer. My two brothers had bedrooms in See ANNIE, page A8

the basement. For some strange reason, every week or so, there would be an empty quart jar either in their bedroom or in the laundry room sink. I don’t know if they owned up to the thievery or not. Now, I must confess that I tried to eat a whole quart of cherries one time. I will never do that again! Dad would send one of us to the basement to get a quart of plums. He loved plums with thick cream and sugar poured over the top. That was his bedtime dessert. I liked it when he shared! Along with the peaches, pears, plums, apples and cherries were the wonderful jelly and jam that Mom made. My very favorite was cherry jelly or jam. Oh my goodness how good that was on homemade bread toast! YUMM. We also stored apples from Grandpa’s 80-acre apple orchard in the basement coal room along with potatoes, carrots and cabbage. It was my job sometimes to sort out the rotting apples in the apple baskets and the potatoes in the potato

sacks. They kept well all winter. Before winter sets in, I have a few more things to do from the nice plants I have been so fortunate to receive from Fireweed Greenhouse. Thank you Susan and Porter! I must dehydrate some tomatoes and dry the parsley that grew in leaps and bounds this summer. Chives and parsley are one thing that Bob takes an interest in and we have had an ongoing chive plant since we moved to this house 30 years ago. I would be amiss if I did not mention the rhubarb, raspberries, strawberries and currents I froze or used in pies, cakes, cupcakes and cookies this summer. We are so lucky to have this wonderful bounty of edible delights on our little plot of land in the middle of this vast area of Alaska. I also should mention those who make sauerkraut! I mentioned it and NO I do not make sauerkraut any longer. I also have salmon and halibut in the freezer, thanks to many wonderful friends. We are well-stocked for the winter.

For a creamy cauliflower soup without cream, we relied on cauliflower’s low insoluble fiber content to produce a velvety smooth puree. To ensure that cauliflower flavor remained at the forefront, we cooked the cauliflower in seasoned water (instead of broth), skipped the spice rack entirely, and bolstered the soup with sauteed onion and leek. We added the cauliflower to the simmering water in two stages so that we got the grassy flavor of just-cooked cauliflower and the sweeter, nuttier flavor of long-cooked cauliflower. Finally, we fried florets in butter until both browned and used each as a separate, richly flavored garnish.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 1 hour 30 minutes 1 head cauliflower (2 pounds) 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces 1 leek, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced thin, and washed thoroughly 1 small onion, halved and sliced thin Salt and pepper 4 1/2-5 cups water 1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives Pull off outer leaves of cauliflower and trim stem. Using paring knife, cut around core to remove; slice core thin and reserve. Cut heaping 1 cup of

1/2-inch florets from head of cauliflower; set aside. Cut remaining cauliflower crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large saucepan over mediumlow heat. Add leek, onion, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring often, until leek and onion are softened but not browned, about 7 minutes. Add 4 1/2 cups water, sliced core, and half of sliced cauliflower. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Add remaining sliced cauliflower and simmer until cauliflower is tender and crumbles easily, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, melt remaining 5 tablespoons butter in 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add reserved florets and cook, stirring often, until florets are golden brown and butter is browned and has nutty aroma, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and use slotted spoon to transfer florets to small bowl. Toss florets with vinegar and season with salt to taste. Pour browned butter in skillet into separate bowl and reserve for garnishing. Process soup in blender until smooth, about 45 seconds. Return pureed soup to clean pot, bring to brief simmer over medium heat, and adjust consistency with remaining water as needed (soup should have thick, velvety texture but should be thin enough to settle with flat surface after being stirred). Season with salt to taste. Serve, garnishing individual bowls with browned florets, drizzle of browned butter, chives, and pepper.

Soldotna volleyball topples Nikiski By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Soldotna volleyball team snapped a two-match losing streak by defeating host Nikiski 27-25, 20-25, 25-13 and 25-13 on Tuesday. The Stars moved to 13-4 overall by avenging a five-set loss to the Bulldogs in midSeptember. Nikiski lost its third straight match to drop to 7-4. Both Soldotna coach Sheila Kupferschmid and Nikiski coach Stacey Segura said their teams were improved after a tough weekend of volleyball, but it was the Stars that improved enough to get the victory. SoHi’s losses came to Wasilla on Thursday and Saturday. Kupferschmid said two weaknesses exposed by the Warriors were defense and consistency in the serve game. Kupferschmid took advantage of her squad’s veteran nature by completely changing up the defense in Monday’s practice. She said the Stars went back to a defense they were using last season. “We changed our defense and that defense worked tonight,” Kupferschmid said. “The kids practiced it and then did a good job with it.” The coach also changed the approach of some of her servers. That resulted in less missed serves and more opportunities for the rest of Soldotna’s game to shine. With 17 digs, Holleigh Jaime led the defensive and serve-receive effort. Carsen Brown, with 44 assists, ran the offense. That offense mostly went through the middle to Bailey Leach (14 kills, 10 service points) and Aliann Schmidt (13 kills, two blocks). Ituau Tuisaula added 11 kills on the outside. “Their middles could not contain our middles,” said Kupferschmid, who also received 15 service points from Brittani

Blossom. The match started close but SoHi pressed the advantage more and more as it went on. The first game was knotted at 25 when Nikiski missed a serve and had a hitting error to lose the game. The second game was tied at 20 when Nikiski’s Kaitlyn Johnson, who had 12 assists, two kills and an ace, served out five points for the victory. Johnson’s serves kept Soldotna out of rhythm, as the Stars didn’t return one and committed three hitting errors during that stretch. But the Stars would be in total command in the third and fourth games. “Our serve-receive was slacking in the third and fourth

games,” Segura said. Nikiski lost to Wasilla on Friday and Homer on Saturday. “Soldotna is a crosstown rival, but it’s not a conference match,” Segura said. “We played a lot better than we did Saturday. We’re starting to dig out of this rut we are in.” Segura said Kelsey Clark, with 19 digs, did a nice job of steadying the defense, while America Jeffreys also had 15 digs and an ace. Also for the Bulldogs, Emma Wik had seven assists, two kills and an ace, Bethany Carstens had seven kills and two blocks, and Kaycee Bostic had an ace, seven kills and a block. “We definitely have great kids with awesome positivity,”

Red Sox blow Warriors get rings, beat Thunder past Houston By The Associated Press

HOUSTON (AP) — Jackie Bradley Jr. didn’t let his demeanor change this season, even as fans begged Boston to trade him during a miserable first-half slump. Stayed steady after the biggest swing of his career, too. Bradley belted a grand slam for his second big hit in the AL Championship Series, helping the Red Sox beat the Houston Astros 8-2 on Tuesday fo r a 2-1 series lead. His low-key personality was on display as he rounded the bases without the hint of a smile. He greeted his screaming, excited teammates at home plate with one small jump and a few high fives. “One of my coaches back in the day ... said: ‘No one should ever know whether you’re winning or losing. Kind of keep the same temperament. That way, it will allow you to put some perspective into things,’” Bradley said. “And I kind of took that to heart.” Bradley’s slam backed a solid start by Nathan Eovaldi, who hushed Houston a day after some social media smack talk from Alex Bregman. “We can play at any park,” Eovaldi said. “The first game is always the biggest one of any series when you go on the road.” Game 4 is Wednesday night, with Boston’s Rick Porcello opposing Charlie Morton. Steve Pearce hit a tiebreaking homer for the Red Sox off Joe Smith in the sixth, a drive that sailed just inside the foul pole in left field for a 3-2 lead. Bradley’s slam capped a five-run burst in the eighth against Roberto Osuna. The Astros closer got two outs but allowed two singles and plunked consecutive batters to force in a run. Bradley then crushed a 1-1 fastball into the right field seats to send Houston fans streaming toward the exits. “That’s the pitch I always get him out with,” Osuna said.

“He hit it today, but I would go there 100 more times.” Osuna was acquired from Toronto this season while serving a 75-game ban under Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy. He had a 1.99 ERA over 23 games for Houston in the regular season after he returned. With his childhood hero and fellow Alvin, Texas, native Nolan Ryan sitting behind the plate, Eovaldi turned in another solid start. He allowed six hits and two runs with four strikeouts in six innings for the win in the second playoff start of his career. DODGERS 2, BREWERS 1 LOS ANGELES — Cody Bellinger singled home the winning run in the 13th inning, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night and tying the NL Championship Series at two games apiece. Bellinger grounded a 3-2 pitch from Junior Guerra into right field, scoring Manny Machado, who slid home and touched the plate with his left hand to beat the tag and end a thriller that took 5 hours, 15 minutes. The Dodgers struck out 17 times; the Brewers fanned 15 times. Game 5 is Wednesday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, with Wade Miley going for the Brewers against fellow lefty Clayton Kershaw. With one out, Machado had a broken-bat single to left and went to second on Guerra’s wild pitch. Bellinger, who entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth, also had the defensive play of the game. He made a diving catch on his belly of a ball hit by Lorenzo Cain leading off the 10th, spreading his arms out and sliding like a snow angel in right field.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry had 32 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, Kevin Durant added 27 points, eight rebounds and six assists, and the Golden State Warriors opened their quest for a three-peat by holding off the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-100 on Tuesday night. Golden State needed a strong fourth quarter to win on a festive night after the two-time defending champions received their 2018 rings in a pregame ceremony

shortly before tipoff and began the final season at Oracle Arena before a move across San Francisco Bay to new Chase Center. “It’s a great move for the organization. We know that but this place is special, so we want to make sure this is a special season,” coach Steve Kerr said.

phia in the season opener for both teams. Marcus Morris added 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. Al Horford had nine points and five blocks. The Celtics survived a lethargic start and rough shooting night but rallied to lead by as many as 18 in the second half. Boston won despite shooting just 43 percent (42 of 97) from the field and 30 percent from the 3-point line (11 of 37). But the Celtics’ struggles didn’t dampen the CELTICS 105, 76ERS 87 mood inside TD Garden for the return to BOSTON — Jayson Tatum had 23 points regular-season action for Gordon Hayward and nine rebounds, and Boston beat Philadel- and Kyrie Irving.

the Alaska budget, do you feel there is enough funding to tackle this issue? We brought a lot of money in from the federal side. We just received, last month, about $34 million in funding on this issue. I issued a declaration of disaster in February of 2017 on the opioid crisis. We set up an instant command system; we put together a team to issue. We have to get out there and get after it. And we are. We’ve intercepted one and a half million doses of drugs coming into Alaska. We have treatment beds we didn’t have. We’re increasing that significantly. It’s so huge, and the federal government is coming in financially to help us fund that. There was some discussion that either you or Democrat Mark Begich would drop out, consolidating opposition to Mike Dunleavy. Did you ever consider dropping out? Do you feel that a three-way race has made it more difficult for you to gain re-election? No, I didn’t consider dropping out. I don’t quit. I never have and I never will. I am advancing projects in Alaska that no other candidate is going to advance. If that LNG project does not happen because we have a governor that doesn’t understand it, then I think we’re in a very different state going forward. That’s the one that’s going to completely change our state as we’ve known it. Alaska has a decision to make. What kind of future do they want? The Trump administration’s decision to impose steel tariffs has had an impact on the Port of Alaska in Anchorage, which already needs significant repairs, as well as potential impacts on pipeline construction. What’s your solution to making sure Alaska’s port and pipelines can operate profitably? China’s not the only place that makes steel. They make steel in Japan. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline came from steel in Japan. The U.S. makes steel. There are lots of places that make steel. If it’s more economical to get the steel from someplace else, we’ll get it someplace else. The criminal justice reform package passed in 2016 has gotten pushback from many people who feel it lets repeat offenders off the hook. What do you think is working with the reform, and what has to happen to make this reform more effective than it has been? We made some modifications, and I called a special session for Senate Bill 54. Sen. Dunleavy voted against it. I’m not sure why he voted against a reform that put would put it back in SB 91. I know he voted for 91 so maybe he’s in favor of 91. The other thing is in this last session, which [Dunleavy] was not there for because he quit, was 312 which reformed more pieces of it. The other piece of that is recidivism. You’ve got to bring down recidivism. Sixty seven percent of those who leave are coming back. When you’re cutting down recidivism in half, you’re reducing the crime rate. Alaska’s economy is highly dependent on fossil fuels but is also uniquely susceptible to climate change. A recent UN report has said that the world has a little more than a decade to cut greenhouse gas emissions by half, and by 2050 greenhouse gas emissions would have to reach net zero. What policies will you put in place as governor to tackle this issue? I certainly recognize it. I have set up a climate change action committee through an administrative order. That’s about 15 folks that have come together in many, many, many meetings — everything from a student in one of the most remote parts of Alaska, to the president of BP Alaska, all brought together to bring recommendations to me and what we can be doing. You have come out against the Stand for Salmon initiative. What policies will you put in place to protect Alaska’ fishing industry and environment? We have lots of policies in place to protect salmon, and we’re going to continue to do that. One of the things we need is a system in place that allows for local stakeholders to

have a say or an involvement at the embryonic stage of a project to help with the beginnings of that. We used to have that years ago. It was called the coastal zone management committee that allowed stakeholders to have a say and be in that process. We need that. To do this by a piece of law that has not gone through all the review, all of the input – how is it going to affect commercial fishing? How is it going to affect Alaskan waters? How far does that go? I absolutely love salmon. I’m going to protect salmon every way I can, but to do that at the expense of our economy, there needs to be a balance on that. That’s why we have the process we have. Someone needs to bring to me the additional protections we need. Where is the gap? Show me where the gap is and not sort of just a holistic change.

board meeting. “Licensing should be considered the first line of defense when it comes to diversion and sales to minors. We should be considered allies.” Phelps and others also told the board it would be helpful if a farmer, or someone with knowledge of agriculture, were a member on the board. Many others raised concerns about public cannabis events. In August of this year, Alaska Hempfest in Palmer was fined $10,000 for allowing public consumption of marijuana. In May of this year, the first cannabis festival in Alaska, Cannabis Classic in Wasilla, was fined $20,000, with $15,000 suspended pending no future violations. Many members of the public who testified felt that the events were not necessarily public.

“I looked up the definition of public, and it meant all people and not people of a certain group,” Phelps said. “If you’re attending a specific event, I interpret that as a certain group. It is a shame that plenty of beer vendors are permitted to serve at this event, but no cannabis.” George Pierce of Kasilof told the board he felt the taxes on marijuana products were too high. “This is a mom and pop operation,” Pierce said. “People have invested their whole life savings in this and you guys are trying to make it worse for them because all you’re doing is strengthening the black market. I could go right around the neighborhood here and get marijuana from the black market. The voters wanted this and we got it, so let’s make it easier.” Board member Brandon Emmett asked Pierce what the prices on the black market were. “If an ounce is $500 at the

store, I can get it for $200 on the black market,” Pierce said. Patricia Patterson of High Bush Buds in Soldotna also testified at the board meeting. She told the board about her busy week of sales after the Permanent Fund Dividend came out, and an error she made in her sales report. “Yesterday I did something that every licensee fears doing,” Patterson said. “I reported an error on myself … it just slipped. I don’t know how. I would love to see this board have an avenue for self-reporting.” Tim Dillon testified on behalf of the Kenai Peninsula Economic District. He said that while he didn’t personally support the legalization of marijuana, he said it should be supported by KPED and the Marijuana Control Board as legitimate businesses. “Let’s work together in assisting these businesses instead of throwing up roadblocks,” Dillon

said. “I respect what the board is doing and the economic development district is here to assist.” Board member Emmett asked for a piece of guidance for the board. “I honestly believe that you all as a board need to continue to take a look at what’s going on from a staff standpoint,” Dillon told the board. “You’ve got some outstanding staff people that need to be able to do their jobs and be able to communicate with the folks that own these businesses. … It doesn’t mean we’re going to agree with everything you say and you’re not going to agree with everything I say. “But, it’s the idea of communicating and feeling like I was heard. That’s what these people are asking for. That’s what they want and that’s what they deserve.” The next Marijuana Control Board meeting will be Dec. 20 to 21 in Anchorage.

Crossword

Wife irked as man reconnects with old partners on facebook DEAR ABBY: How do I get across to my parents that I don’t want them exposing my minor children to my mentally ill sister? “Evangeline” is bipolar, has borderline personality disorder and sometimes acts out in public. They know how strongly I feel about this but find ways to expose my children to her anyway. My kids don’t want to be around Evangeline, but my parents continue to push her on Abigail Van Buren them. I’ll give you an example: They’ll take the kids out to dinner and “bump into her unplanned” at a restaurant. I don’t know what else I can do other than tell them I don’t like it. But when I do, they refuse to listen and get upset when my kids tell me they saw her. Please advise. -- LOOKING OUT FOR MY KIDS DEAR LOOKING: Mental illness isn’t contagious. As long as Evangeline is on her medication, she poses no threat to your children. Is it beyond the realm of possibility that these encounters with her ARE actually unplanned? Sometimes people -- myself included -- get into the habit of patronizing cer-

tain restaurants because they are nearby and serve reliably good food. It’s easy to fall into a comfortable pattern. Because you feel so strongly about these encounters, tell your parents you prefer they take your children to places your sister doesn’t frequent. However, if they persist in “pushing her on,” as you put it, then you may have to consider restricting your parents’ visits with the grandkids to situations you can control. DEAR ABBY: Can you tell me why women wear high-heeled shoes? I cannot think of any benefits women derive from wearing them. Is it because they think high heels make their legs look more attractive, because it’s the fashion or some other reason? -- BAFFLED AND CONFUSED DEAR BAFFLED: Not only do high heels make the legs and ankles look more attractive, when a person wears them they appear to be a few pounds lighter because they look taller. THAT’S why! (Guilty as charged.) Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2018: This year you walk through a new door. What you envision might not occur right away. Learn to be comfortable with the unknown and with people in general. Often, you project what you want onto situations. If you are single, take your time dating. You might not feel as if you have met someone you want to be with for the long term. If you are attached, the two of you often need to check in with each other, as misunderstandings can occur. You know how to breeze right through problems. AQUARIUS admires your thinking. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You seem to go where the unexpected occurs. Use caution with any financial decisions. Do not overthink an offer at the moment. You might need to lessen your load rather than take on more responsibilities. Consider this possibility, and you’ll begin to mellow out. Tonight: Out late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your determination could be met by someone else’s stubbornness. It might be easier and more efficient to go along with this person’s wishes, unless you find his or her ideas impossible. Your response is likely to surprise many people. Tonight: Could go until the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Reach out to someone who helps you see the big picture. You could be taken aback by what you see when you let go of being right. Armed with more understanding, you can find a midpoint of agree-

Rubes

ment between yourself and others. Tonight: Make it OK to be self-indulgent. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Come to an agreement with others. You will see a situation much differently if you can walk away from your position. A meeting could surprise you with its agenda. The topic might not feel as on-target as you might like. Flow with the moment. Tonight: Make time for a friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You could feel as if you are being pulled in different directions. You might find that you enjoy yourself more and become less and less invested in what you see as problems. Consider being less available to difficult people. Tonight: Accept an appealing invitation to a party. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Reach out to a loved one at a distance who understands you well. This person’s comments could open you up to another perspective. Caring evolves as others witness your attempt to understand where they are coming from. Open up to a possible change. Tonight: Exercise first. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be confused by someone with whom you felt you had a steady agreement. Suddenly uproar occurs. You can do very little to return to what was, nor should you want to. Release what is frivolous or unneeded, and proceed. Tonight: Time for some fun and games. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might find that a friend suddenly becomes unstable. Do not wonder what is needed. Let go, and allow this person to be who he or she is. Sometimes everyone needs

to break free of constraints -- self-imposed or otherwise. Express understanding. Tonight: Head home early. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Open up to a new idea that could invigorate your life and make it much more exciting. At first this possibility could shake you up. The more you think about it, the more enthusiastic you become. Do not push another person away. Tonight: Invite a favorite person to join you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH A child or new friend topples your sense of well-being with his or her unpredictability. Rather than react, take a hard look at what is occurring and let go of the unneeded. Sometimes difficulties stem from too much to do and from being overwhelmed. Tonight: Pay bills first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You feel differently than you have in a while. A shake-up, while upsetting, frees you up to do what you really want. If you are not sure of your true desires, take some time to re-evaluate. Encourage simplification. Tonight: Surround yourself with people you value and trust. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You make an effort by reaching out to others. Though everyone might not respond, you could hear news that is likely to shock you. Relax and allow the situation to unfold naturally; soon you will realize what is motivating or triggering it. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

How long does flour have purpose? Dear Heloise: How long does ALLPURPOSE FLOUR last in the refrigerator? I’ve had it in the refrigerator one year. Is it still good to use? -- Dorothy D., Fayetteville, N.C. Dorothy, all-purpose flour can last up to eight months on the shelf when stored in a tightly sealed container. If you keep it in the refrigerator, it can last as long as two years. -- Heloise A LONGTIME FAVORITE Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for Cole Slaw With Yogurt that was out of this world. Would you please reprint it? -- Rose J., Brighton, Mich. Rose, this recipe is delicious with so many different meals, and with the holidays coming soon, it adds a nice original touch to many traditional dinners. Here it is: Cole Slaw With Yogurt 1/2 cup nonfat yogurt 1 small sweet pickle, minced 2 tablespoons green onion, minced 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 cup shredded cabbage 1/3 cup shredded carrot Combine the yogurt, pickle, onion, lemon juice and pepper in a bowl. Mix in cabbage and carrot (you might be able to find packaged shredded cabbage and carrots at your grocery store), making sure the yogurt mixture is evenly distributed and all of the cabbage and carrot gets well-coated. Chill before serving. -- Heloise EGG SEPARATOR Hi, Heloise: I’ve discovered an easy way to separate an egg: I use my kitchen funnel in a glass, and crack the egg in there. Ideally, the yolk will stay in the funnel, and the white will slide into the glass. -- Susan in Arkansas

DEAR ABBY: My husband has an extensive sexual history. He has had sex with more than 80 partners. All the encounters were when he was in high school and in his early 20s. Most were one-night stands with female friends. When we met, he was honest, and I was understanding. He didn’t keep in touch with any of those females (pre-Facebook). But now he’s friends with several of them on Facebook, and while he doesn’t “talk” to them, he comments and “likes” many of their posts. This makes me uncomfortable because I don’t feel that past sexual partners should be part of one’s life once someone is married. I’m not jealous or insecure, I just think it’s disrespectful. Am I controlling? -- ANXIOUS IN ARIZONA DEAR ANXIOUS: Your husband was certainly active. Was he also able to keep his grade point up? You say he has been honest with you about his sexual history. Nowhere in your letter have you indicated that there has been any infidelity. I suspect that in spite of your denial, you may be feeling a bit insecure, and if your husband is telling you that you’re coming across as controlling, that is the way he perceives it. “Liking” the Facebook posts of someone you haven’t seen in decades isn’t inviting the person to have an affair. If I were you, I’d calm down.

CPH staff and officials cut the ribbon this spring for the Diamond Willow recovery center.

Addiction recovery at Diamond Willow At an open house earlier this spring, Central Peninsula Hospital officials and community leaders gathered to celebrate the new addiction recovery transitional living center, Diamond Willow. Formerly a racket ball court and exercise facility known as the 4 Royal Courts on Tyee Street in Soldotna, The Diamond Willow Sober Living House run by CPH offers a safe living space for residents transitioning from the Serenity House Treatment Center. The

16 bed facility provides housing for those in recovery as they seek to transition to employment and a healthy life style according to Diamond Willow director Dr. Kristie Sellers. “This is a place for people to come if they are dedicated to addiction recovery and they don’t have a safe place to be,” Sellers said. “The folks who live here are super motivated to become productive citizens and have the opportunity to live here for up to a year where we

give them vocational support and assistance with live management and addiction recovery services. At the end of that time we hope they will have employment and can move into a home of their own.” The facility’s goal is to reduce the problems of addiction that are rampant in Alaska. “Not only does Alaska have those issues, but the nation overall has a serious problem with opiate addiction which is part of why we are here and

what we want to address with long term recovery and employment so they can move with their dreams and contributing to the community,” Sellers said. “This has been a community effort and came to be open through community involvement and our residents still need that community support to help them as a guide or mentor teaching them how to do something new but there is also an opportunity for that to work both ways and for our residents

to help the community through service projects that give back to the community.” Anyone interested in becoming a resident or volunteering at the facility can contact CPH Behavioral Health at 907-7144521.

New Mural adorns the Maverick Saloon in Soldotna For decades the iconic Maverick Saloon has been a stopping place for visitors, family, and friends before continuing their journey south over the Kenai River Bridge, or traveling north from Homer. A true Alaskan watering hole with a history and stories so real they had to be put on the wall. Like the first cavemen who preserved their stories by painting on the walls of their caves, the southern wall of the Maverick now depicts local history. Maverick owner Cindy Day says it all started with a talented neighbor at Artzy Junkin. “It’s the way neighbors are in Soldotna,” Day said. “We help to make each other’s places better. Our neighbor Abbey Ulen, the artist in residence at Sue’s Artzy Junkin’ has been painting a beautiful mural on the south side of our building which will eventually continue around the entire building reflecting some of the history of Soldotna that has grown up around us.” New York graffiti it is not, but Alaskan mural art it definitely is, Ulen said. “I was approached by Sue here at Artzy Junkin’ and Susanne at Mountain Mama’s Originals to spearhead the project designed to reflect the life that has been going on around us,” Ulen said. “The guy on the motorcycle reflects the hundreds of bikers that have ridden over the mountain roads

Cindy & Abbey invite you to see the first stage of the Maverick Mural.

Saloon but has been a friendly pub most of its existence. I worked there for thirty years and twelve years ago decided I wanted to work for myself so I bought the business. I’m hoping to hear more stories from people who have had experiences at the Maverick. I hope they’ll stop in and share them with us and perhaps next summer they see them on the wall of our cave,” Day said. “Stories make up our commu-

nity and that’s what I’d love to reflect in the artwork on the Maverick mural. Art is something everyone can relate to,” Ulen said. Abbey has been assisted on the mural by other local artists that include Loralyn Sisson, Ja-

son Ramirez, Spring Larrow and Lisa Eyring. You are welcome to visit Abbey at her studio inside Artzy Junkin and view her collection of impressionistic artwork or tell her a story you’d like to see on the wall.
