In the news Ketchikan City Council bans eagle feeding KETCHIKAN — The Ketchikan City Council passed in second reading an ordinance banning intentionally feeding wild eagles within city limits. The Ketchikan Daily News reports the ordinance, passed on Thursday, also prohibits property owners from allowing other people to feed eagles on their property. Violations are punishable by fines of up to $500. Council Member Mark Flora says he supports an ordinance because he believes feeding eagles poses a risk to public safety and could lead to habituation. Council Member Julie Isom says though she doesn’t support eagle feeding, an ordinance would waste police resources. The ordinance stems from complaints this summer about Sourdough Tours feeding eagles at its West End property, a practice which allegedly attracted eagles and caused a nuisance. The ordinance is set to go into effect after a 30-day waiting period.
Number of humanbear conflicts growing across state ANCHORAGE — Wildlife experts are calling this summer one of the busiest years of bear encounters they have seen. The Anchorage Daily News reports biologists believe that poor berry crops and struggling salmon are motivating the hungry bears to wander away from the woods and go into towns. Recent incidents include a black bear taking over the Juneau arboretum and another bruin that shut down a fishcleaning facility. They also say a rise in young black bear numbers may also be contributing to the growing human-bear conflicts. Humans also add to the problem by failing to secure trash or having chicken coops without bear-halting electric fences. Community leaders are considering pursuing new rules requiring better trash management given the increased potential for confrontations. — Associated Press

Community rallies around Nikiski firefighter By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
Nikiski firefighter Levi Doss may still be battling cancer, but his family and friends have shown that he has already come out a winner. An 11-year-veteran of the Nikiski Fire Department who was forced to medically retire earlier this year, Doss has received thousands of dollars in donations from a GoFundMe account set up by his fellow firefighters. In the first week of the page’s existence, the effort reached a quarter of its $100,000 goal. As of Saturday, 131 contributors have raised nearly $27,000 for the Doss family. “I wouldn’t wish this tumor on anyone,” wrote Doss in an email. “But I am glad to have known it. It has made so many positive changes in our lives. Completely outweighs the negatives.” Jessica Smith and Harrison Deveer, two of the key organizers of the fundraising effort
and GoFundMe page who have known Doss for about a decade, said the drive to help the family stems from the compassion and generosity the family has shared with the community for years. Tera Doss said fire chief James Baisden also played a big role in the fundraising effort. Deveer described the family as very humble people who deserve the help. “Levi is one of those guys that’s unique and you just kind of fall in love with,” he said. “He’s one of the most amazing people I’ve worked with. He’s had a huge impact on this place on people.” “He was a huge part of why I fell in love with the department,” Smith added. “He’s just an amazing person who would do anything for anybody.” Smith said she wants to run the fundraising effort as long as people are willing to support the family. She said any interested party wishing to help can donate at any Wells Fargo location by contributing to the Levi Doss donation

Walker vows fix for sex crime ‘loophole’ Alaska By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire
Gov. Bill Walker is responding to public outrage over the recent sentencing of an Anchorage man by vowing to “fix a loophole” in Alaska’s criminal law. Late Friday, Walker pledged to propose changes to state statutes governing sex crimes. The move comes two days after Justin Schneider, 34, walked out of an Anchorage courtroom with no jail time following a plea deal. The issue was first
reported by KTVA-TV. Last year, Schneider was charged with attacking and strangling an Anchorage woman unconscious after an assault in broad daylight. After the assault, he masturbated on her, spraying his semen across her body, before offering her a tissue and leaving. The tissue was collected as evidence, and the woman promptly reported the crime, which was witnessed by a bystander. Schneider faced four felony charges and one misdemeanor, but under a deal with prosecu-
tors, he pleaded guilty to only one felony assault charge in exchange for having all the other charges dropped. He was sentenced to two years in prison with one suspended, but because he received credit for time served while wearing an ankle monitor and living under house arrest, he left the courthouse with no additional time to serve. In addition, Schneider is not required to register as a sex offender. That conclusion outraged Anchorage residents, who
promptly began a campaign to vote Judge Michael Corey — who oversaw the case — out of office. The situation was aggravated when Anchorage Assistant District Attorney Andrew Grannik said at the sentencing, “I would like the gentleman to be on notice that that is his one pass — it’s not really a pass — but given the conduct, one might consider that it is.” On Friday morning, the Alaska Department of Law issued a lengthy statement ex-

Legislators decline vote on per-diem pay By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire
Alaska lawmakers are considering a proposal to reduce their per-diem expense payments, but they are not likely to vote on the proposal before the Nov. 6 general election. On Friday morning, the Legislative Council — a joint House-Senate body that makes decisions for lawmakers while the Legislature is out of session — declined to vote upon a plan that would reduce per diem from the $302 perday federal rate. While the council has a meeting scheduled in October, that is expected to deal with only a single matter and not include the per-diem discussion, which will wait until
November, said Rep. David Guttenberg, D-Fairbanks and chairman of the Legislative Council. Guttenberg said by phone after the meeting that political considerations had nothing to do with the delay. Lawmakers simply ran out of time, he said. Legislative offices close at noon on Fridays because of cost-cutting measures. “There’s always a question of the political motive, but all of the proposals were to lower the per diem. There was nothing that was going to accept the federal per diem,” he said. “Politically, it would have been advantageous to get to it.” Rep. Charisse Millett, RAnchorage, is also a member of the Legislative Council.

“I do not believe anything Rep. Guttenberg is doing is politically motivated at all,” she said. Under the Legislature’s travel and per diem policy, lawmakers receive compen-
sation for expenses every day they are away from home during legislative sessions. The only exception, instituted earlier this year, is for lawmakers who live within 50 miles See PAY, page A5
Juneau’s syringe exchange may shut down By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire
More than 100 people regularly use the syringe exchange at the Alaskan Aids Assistance Association (Four A’s) office in downtown Juneau, but due to the lack of funding, the program could fold at the end of the year. Four A’s Southeast Advisory Board members Claire Geldhof and Melissa Griffiths prepared safe injection kits Friday after-
noon as they explained that in just a few months, this service might be gone from Juneau. Syringe exchanges are in place all over the country, seeking to cut down on the amount of communicable diseases — including HIV and Hepatitis C — that can result in reusing and sharing needles. Four A’s Executive Director Heather Davis explained in an interview Friday that federal funding for syringe exchanges and other HIV prevention pro-
grams is shifting toward places where more people are affected by the disease, notably the U.S. Southeast. As a result, Alaska (which Davis said is defined as “a low-incident” HIV area) is getting less funding. That’s having a major effect on both offices — in Anchorage and Juneau — and Griffiths said the Juneau office will shut down at the end of the calendar year unless they’re able to raise the money to stay open until the end of the fiscal year
next June. They’ve set the goal of $15,000, and are more than halfway there now. Griffiths and her co-board members have taken a crowdfunding approach, and have raised just over $8,000 as of Friday. The online fundraiser can be found at https://app.mobilecause.com/vf/SEServices. “I think it’s important for people to know that you don’t have to make a big donation to make a difference,” Griffiths, See SYRINGE, page A5
Native nonprofit acquires bison herd KODIAK (AP) — An Alaska Native nonprofit recently acquired a herd of bison as part of its grand plan for economic development. The Old Harbor Alliance — a nonprofit organization made up of local Old Harbor residents, members of the Alutiiq Tribe of Old Harbor and shareholders and descendants of the Old Harbor Native Corporation — acquired the bison for the Sitkalidak Island Bison Herd project, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported . “We’re a fishing community,” said Melissa Berns, a board member of the Old Harbor Alliance. “We’re not ranchers.” “But, we’re learning,” she added. The project is part of a larger five-pronged endeavor that includes an airport extension, the construction of a small boat harbor and a new city dock. The next step is a planned hydroelectric dam. The idea is to decrease, and eventually try to reverse, outmigration by creating economic opportunities for the community. “Our mission is . to build a strong community for all generations,” Berns said. “We left it broad so we can address all those social and economic and cultural needs of the community.” All of the rural communities across the Kodiak archipelago have experienced a drop in population, but Old Harbor is one of the few that’s managed to take measures to address it. The bison herd is a way of improving food security, by providing the community with a readily accessible supply of meat, which Berns described as “wonderful, lean and healthy.” “It’s not only food security . as that herd grows it could be jobs and revenue,” said Old Harbor Alliance President Cynthia Berns. “There’s a lot of dif-

community support and his faith in God. “Along with having an incredibly strong wife and seven wonderful kids, I am surrounded by love,” Doss wrote. “My church family at Kenai New Life Assembly has been incredible. My work family has also been incredible. They put together a retirement party for me (during) which I cried for at least half of it. Tears of joy.” Diagnosis It was Aug. 23, 2016, when Doss suffered his first seizure. Levi and Tera had a four-day family trip planned across Kachemak Bay near Homer. Doss awoke feeling excited yet peaceful. Doss said normally he would be tied up in the logistics of the trip — getting the kids ready, organizing the cars, loading up the boat — but he had an odd sense of serenity about him, a peaceful feeling. The drive down to Homer was punctuated by a lost wheel bearing on his truck as he was nearing the seaside town. Doss said he made the decision to stop by the hardware store for the necessary tools to replace it before meeting with his wife, who was waiting at the harbor with the rest of the family, but later described it as an odd decision. The family was waiting for him and he already owned the tools for the job in his boat. “I remember being confused while looking at the bearing and calling my friend and mechanic at NFD,” Doss wrote. “Even though I have changed several in my life, I couldn’t figure it out. “The next thing I knew, I was in the back of (an) HFD ambulance and them telling me that I had a seizure. I was even more confused.” The episode effectively cancelled the trip while friends and coworkers of Doss met Tera and the kids in Homer to shuttle the cars and family members back up to Kenai. Doss himself was taken to South Peninsula Hospital in Homer where a CT scan re-

vealed a mass in his brain. “We didn’t see it coming,” Tera said. “He’d had headaches all his life, but didn’t know why, so there wasn’t anything too weird.” Doss was quickly transported to Anchorage, where an MRI confirmed a brain tumor. It was there that Doss received surgery to remove the tumor, a procedure that also led to the temporary loss of feeling in his right arm. “I woke up and squeezed my right hand and praised God,” Doss wrote. “They told me I was good to go and could get on with life.” A year went by with minimal problems. Doss returned to light duty work and it seemed the problem went away. Christmas Eve 2017 brought with it a return episode. The Doss’s were packing into the family suburban for a Christmas Eve church service, and minutes before leaving, Doss began feeling symptoms creep up on him swiftly. As the seizure it set in on him, Doss worked quickly to prevent his children from being frightened by what they were about to see. “I remember it starting and tried to apologize to my children,” Doss wrote. He relapsed into what is known as a grand mal seizure, as his body lost all control and consciousness. “I felt pretty bad that my kids had to see it,” he said. Tera stayed by her hus-
band’s side while family members showed up to aid her and take care of the kids. Tera said that while she was very much concerned with what was happening, the situation never became chaotic or disorderly, and she sprung into action as quick as she could. “I think I’ve been blessed with the gift of calmness,” she said. “I think the worse moments of your life make your blood run cold, but at the same time we were able to function.” The Christmas Eve seizure ultimately led to the bigger diagnosis of brain cancer, which hit home the hardest. Doss was forced to take on light duty operation at work, then had to make the decision to medically retire for good. Treatment Levi said his grandfather also suffered brain cancer late in his life and passed away on Levi’s 11th birthday. Levi said his grandpa had a nearly identical scar on his head as Levi’s, and died just one year after his first seizure. Doss said he recently emailed his grandmother about her late husband’s cancer, and she said that once it was made clear that radiation was the only solution following surgery, the family could only pray for Levi’s grandfather. “She said, ‘The (doctor) said they would talk “cure” in radiation, but don’t believe them because the type of cancer he has, more would appear and they would NOT be able
to do any more surgery’,” Doss wrote. “‘We KNEW that God was the only source of cure. So we put it ALL in God’s hands for His will to be done’.” Doss continued receiving treatments in the Kenai community, but began to seek greater help outside Alaska. The Doss’s took a trip to Seattle last May so Levi could look at starting radiation therapy, but when the doctor informed them that the cancer had not spread further in the previous three months, Levi had the option of wait and see. Two weeks ago, Doss said his doctor confirmed again that the tumor had not grown or spread. Now, Doss is staying in Mexico for three weeks seeking alternative treatment. At age 38, Doss said he and his wife — both lifelong Nikiski residents — are working to getting back to normal in a life changed by cancer, and the community support has left them grateful, even after both Levi and Tera pleaded with their friends to not go to the extra lengths of fundraising. “It’s been ridiculous, it’s amazing,” Tera said. “None of us knew about the GoFundMe until the day after they did it, and finally they decided they’d do it anyways. “We were very humbled and blown away, and so thankful and so grateful for the amazing fire department and the community, and our church family has been incredible.”

Clifford Cecil Bouchard
Soldotna Historical Society Fall Fling
Clifford Cecil Bouchard, 74, of Soldotna, died unexpectedly at his home on September 11, 2018. Cliff was born August 11, 1944 in Chehalis, Washington and grew up in Castle Rock, Washington with his four dearly loved brothers. He attended Castle Rock High School, where he was well known for his beautiful singing voice and for his fierceness on the football field. He maintained friendships with many classmates through his final days. Cliff served in the United States Army from 1965 to 1967; he received a National Defense Service Medal, a Sharpshooter Badge, and several letters of appreciation. After an Honorable Discharge from the Army, Cliff returned to Castle Rock where he married his longtime sweetheart, Margo Kondro Bouchard. Cliff adored Margo and her three children as they began a new adventure together. Cliff owned a Shell service station for two years then worked at Reynold’s Metals for five years. Cliff and Margo added one more daughter, Stefanie, to the family. In 1976, they loaded a van with whatever would fit and headed North up the Alcan Highway to start a new chapter in Soldotna, Alaska. Cliff found employment with Conoco Phillips where he would work for 35 years, first as a mechanic, eventually as a Behavioral Based Safety Facilitator. Cliff was a super star of the local theater and music community. He was part of productions of “Annie,” “The King and I,” “You Can’t Take It With You,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” and numerous others. He sang with his daughter, Stefanie, for many years, opening shows for many big music names, and loved traveling to sing at fairs. He loved watching his grandsons play football; from Pop Warner up through high school he never missed a game. Cliff was also a big fan of Brown Bear Hockey, and was a proud supporter of Fraction Racing. Papa will be remembered most for his ever-present smile, sunny disposition and for the love that radiated to everyone he would meet. He was the first to offer a helping hand to anyone who needed it. The world will be a bit dimmer without the bright light of his beautiful heart. Cliff is survived by: his ex-wife and dear friend, Margo Bouchard; daughter Tammy Pokrandt and husband Jay; son Gregry Connick Bouchard; daughter Trenna Kooly and husband Darrell; daughter Stefanie Bouchard and husband James Rowell; brothers Jerry, Bud, and Burgess; many grandchildren and great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and too many “adopted” family members to name. Cliff made everyone feel like family. He was preceded in death by his parents Alvie Bouchard and Mary Moody, his brother Otis Bouchard, mother and father-in-law Bernard and Helen Kondro, sisters-in-law Phyllis and Jo Bouchard, and brothers-in-law Leo Kondro and Bill Strange. On Tuesday, September 25 there will be graveside services at Soldotna Cemetery at 10:30 a.m. and at 2 p.m. A Celebration of Life will be held at Tyotkas Elder Building in Old Town Kenai.
The Soldotna Historical Society will host its Fall Fling on Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Donald E. Gilman Kenai River Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Speaker Carroll Knutson will present “History of Alaska Homesteading.” Contact Carmen at 2622791 for more information.

What Others Say
Abolishing the second amendment isn’t the answer The ongoing debate over guns in America has led some to vociferously call for abolishing the Second Amendment. That’s just not wise thinking. There are common-sense restrictions on guns that fall within the scope of the Second Amendment. So there’s no need to even consider abolishing it. Nevertheless, calls for abolishing the Second Amendment are coming from such respected figures like retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. And a new poll shows that about 20 percent of Americans favor repealing the Second Amendment. In reality, that probably shouldn’t be a surprising statistic. There are actually Americans, after all, who regularly support restrictions on speech that would not be allowed under the First Amendment. So, of course, there will always be a fringe minority out there yapping for scrapping the Second Amendment. Or the Third Amendment. Or the Fourth Amendment. Or the … You get the point. Fortunately, the anti-Second Amendment extremists have little support in Washington; even blue-state Democrats like Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California have made clear they support gun ownership for self-defense and hunting. What’s even more striking is that noted, liberal-leaning Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe has also dismissed the campaign to abolish the Second Amendment. In a piece for The Washington Post, Tribe wrote that the Second Amendment isn’t the problem; in fact, Tribe declared, repealing the Second Amendment would not limit a single gun or enact a single regulation. The fact is abolishing the Second Amendment isn’t necessary because the Supreme Court has already set some reasonable parameters. In the Supreme Court’s historic 2008 Heller decision that underlined an individual’s right to bear arms, the court also noted that right wasn’t unlimited — and that certain classes of “dangerous and unusual” weapons could be limited. The court has also allowed limits on assault weapons, large magazines and the number of weapons that can be stockpiled. That’s why instead of abolishing the Second Amendment, the focus should be on reducing the ability of Americans to use military-style weapons to kill innocent fellow citizens. The focus should also be on restricting the ability of mentally ill people — and those with histories of domestic violence — to have easy access to firearms; clearly more safeguards must be built in to immediately “red-flag” such Americans whenever they try to purchase weapons. There is certainly widespread support for that kind of proactive approach. In a recent poll, 85 percent even voiced support for letting the police take guns away from people deemed dangerous — and at least five states have such laws in place. Gun advocates like to criticize the 1994 ban on assault weapons for its emphasis on cosmetic features; they deride it as a naive and unrealistic law designed by people who know nothing about guns. For example, the 1994 law defined assault weapons based on such features as pistol grips. In an opinion piece, Palm Beach County criminologist Thomas Gabor said such poor standards of definition have undermined attempts to strictly regulate assault weapons because “the gun industry can easily make cosmetic modifications to skirt the regulation.” Gabor has proposed a more realistic definition of assault weapons that takes an objective, scientific approach based on lethality — as well as relevant factors like caliber, muzzle velocity, rate of fire, capacity and design flexibility. That’s a reasonable idea. And it’s a far more palatable idea than the harebrained suggestion that it’s time for America to abolish the Second Amendment. — Florida Times-Union of Jacksonville, Sept. 18
Shut up, they explained to us
Christine Blasey Ford deserves a hearing, although at the moment it’s not clear if she really wants one. What she doesn’t deserve is to be believed automatically just because she’s a woman making an accusation. At its best, our system of justice judges each individual — the accuser and the accused — on the basis of the evidence and with an adversarial process that has proved over the centuries to be the best way to ascertain the truth. The problem is that Ford’s accusation doesn’t seem particularly provable, and the Democratic-media complex isn’t very interested in proving it. It wants to take her truthfulness as a given, as a matter of cosmic and gender equity. “I believe the survivor,” says Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal. It would be accurate for him to say, “I believe Ford is a survivor.” But the point is to take rhetorical and political advantage of her alleged victimhood before it has been established — indeed, to use her assumed victimhood to foreclose any serious questioning of whether she is a victim or not. We’re seeing, in effect, the importation of the kangaroo court colleges use to adjudicate such cases to the United States Senate. With no independent knowledge of whether Ford’s account is true, Blumenthal is a hanging judge. “This nomination will not only cast a shadow over Judge Kavanaugh, if he were ever to be confirmed,” he says, “it will also stain the United States Supreme Court irreparably.”
Letters to the Editor Molloy showed honesty and integrity as my attorney I again noticed on my online subscription to the Peninsula Clarion that Bob Molloy was running for Kenai city councilman. This brings to mind something, as we are really focusing on a person’s character and their honesty and integrity. In the early 90s I was going through a very painful time in my life concerning a divorce that was not of my making. I went in to speak to Bob and ask for his help and council. I informed him that I did not have any funds to pay a retainer as my ex had
There you have it. The court weathered Roger Taney, but will be forever besmirched by Brett Kavanaugh. If we aren’t going to assume Kavanaugh’s guilt, we have to be willing to challenge Ford’s story. But we’re told this is risky, or out of
Now, “liberal” means braying for collective justice to right historic wrongs. Matthew Dowd of ABC News opined: “If this is ‘he said, she said,’ then let’s believe that ‘she’ in these scenarios. She has nothing to gain, and everything to lose. For 250 years we have believed the ‘he’ in these scenarios. Enough is enough.” This is a ringing call for people to subordinate their reason and moral discernment to a social and political agenda. Not all women are to believed, whatever the patriarchy’s past sins. The Duke lacrosse players weren’t guilty. The University of Virginia fraternity story wasn’t true. The Columbia University student who carried a mattress around as a symbol of her alleged rape falsely accused her supposed assailant. This obviously doesn’t mean that women should be disbelieved, either. It does mean accusations of sexual misconduct — like any other accusation — should be evaluated case by case, and on the facts. This isn’t victimizing the accusers. It is serving the cause of justice. Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii captured the left’s current mood when she said, “I want to say to the men of this country: Shut up and just step up and do the right thing.” This says more about her — and her own suitability for high office — than Brett Kavanaugh. He has no obligation to shut up — even if about half his Senate audience is losing its interest in due process or fair play. Rich Lowry can be reached via email at comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.
taken everything. He did not hesitate and said “Lets not worry about that right now; we need to get to work on helping you figure this out.” During the whole process he never once mentioned me paying him any money and he was an amazing attorney. He fought hard for me, and I will never forget his understanding, his compassion for my situation and his patience with this miserable time in my life. I have not spoken to Bob since that time. He made an impression on me that I have never forgotten. He was on the forefront of that time of paying it forward. Bob has more integrity and honesty than I have seen in some others after all of these years. If not for him, I do not know how this would have turned out. I owe
him a debt of gratitude. I miss Alaska after living there many years. The awe and the beauty of Alaska cannot be compared to many of the places I have traveled since then. Alaskans are like no other. A lot of those that come there have no family, and the Alaskans embrace them and treat them like family. I still have very close friends from there. In closing, thank you for helping me at one of the worst time of my life, Bob. You have the utmost respect from me. I wish you the best in your re-election to the Kenai City Council. You are an asset to the city of Kenai.
Rich Lowry
bounds. Sen. John Cornyn noted Ford’s fuzzy memory, and — in a hardly inflammatory sentiment — concluded, “There are some gaps there that need to be filled.” Chris Cillizza of CNN deemed these kind of queries “walking a VERY dangerous line.” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York pronounced: “By refusing to treat her allegations properly” — her otherworldly description of an invitation to Ford to testify in an open or closed setting — “and by playing games to protect Kavanaugh’s nomination, they’re telling women across the country that they’re not to be believed. That they are worth less than a man’s promotion.” No, the message to women — and to men — is that it’s important to try to find the truth before crediting an accusation. This once was a tenet of liberalism, back when it celebrated the Arthur Miller play “The Crucible” and supported the oldschool American Civil Liberties Union.

New Kavanaugh accuser emerges By LISA MASCARO and MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled a hearing Thursday for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, a woman who says he sexually assaulted her as a teenager, as a claim of sexual misconduct emerged from another woman. The New Yorker magazine reported Sunday night that Senate Democrats were investigating a second woman’s accusation of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh dating to the 198384 academic year, Kavanaugh’s first at Yale University. The New Yorker said 53-year-old Deborah Ramirez described the incident in an interview after being contacted by the magazine. Ramirez recalled that Kavanaugh exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away, the magazine reported. In a statement provided by the White House, Kavanaugh said the event “did not happen” and that the allegation was “a

A donation of $50, that’s disposing of a significant amount of used syringes. It all helps, and it all adds up.” Syringe exchange programs have proven to be a divisive issue across the country, as detractors have claimed that these programs promote drug use and crime.

In a constitutional-length 121-day session, a lawmaker would receive $36,542 for meals, lodging and incidental expenses under the new, higher rate.

plaining that Schneider’s sentence was “consistent with, and reasonable, under current sentencing laws in Alaska.” The statement added that the prosecutor’s words were “unfortunate and misunderstood. The prosecutor was attempting to explain that while the agreed-upon sentence seemed lenient, it was consistent with current Alaska law and based on a thorough review of the facts of (the) case.” Six hours after the Department of Law issued its statement, Walker provided one of his own. “Every victim deserves justice. This sort of outcome makes it even more difficult for victims to come forward. The
smear, plain and simple.” A White House spokeswoman added in a second statement that the allegation was “designed to tear down a good man.” Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, called Sunday night for the “immediate postponement” of any further action on Kavanaugh’s nomination. She also asked the committee’s chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to have the FBI investigate the allegations of both Ford and Ramirez. The New Yorker said it contacted Ramirez after learning of a possible involvement in an incident with Kavanaugh and that the allegation came to Democratic senators through a civil rights lawyer. She had been considering speaking to the magazine for at least a week. Meanwhile, Republicans were pressing for a swift hearing and a vote. The magazine reported that Ramirez was reluctant at first to speak publicly “partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident.” She also acknowledged reluctance “to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged
incident with certainty.” The magazine reported that after “six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections” to recall the incident. The new information came hours after the Senate committee agreed to a date and time for a hearing after nearly a week of uncertainty over whether Ford would appear to tell her story. The agreement and the latest accusation set the stage for a dramatic showdown as Kavanaugh and Ford each tell their side of the story. The developments could also determine the fate of Kavanaugh’s confirmation, which hangs on the votes of a handful of senators. It had seemed assured before Ford, a 51-year-old California college professor, went public a week ago with her allegation that Kavanaugh assaulted her at a party when they were in high school. Kavanaugh, 53, an appellate court judge, has denied Ford’s allegation and said he wanted to testify as soon as possible to clear his name. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, wrangled with Ford’s
lawyers for the last week over the exact terms of her appearance. She made several requests, some of which were accommodated — a Thursday hearing, three days later than originally scheduled, and a smaller hearing room with less press access to avoid a media circus, for example. Grassley’s staff also agreed to let Ford testify without Kavanaugh in the room, for there to be only one camera in the room, “adequate” breaks and a high security presence. The committee said it would not negotiate on other points, though, including Ford’s desire for additional witnesses and a request to testify after, not before, Kavanaugh. “As with any witness who comes before the Senate, the Senate Judiciary Committee cannot hand over its constitutional duties to attorneys for outside witnesses,” Mike Davis, Grassley’s top nominations counsel, wrote in an email exchange with Ford’s lawyers obtained by The Associated Press. “The committee determines which witnesses to call, how many witnesses to call, in what order to call them, and who will question them. These are nonnegotiable.”
even lead to people getting into treatment. The Four A’s office in Juneau helps connect people with treatment programs in town and educates them on options they have. The fact that syringe users are participating in exchange programs, Griffiths pointed out, is a sign that they’re caring about their body. “It’s one step at a time, Griffiths said. “Maybe the first step is just making sure they’re as safe and healthy as possible while they’re using, but then then next step might be seeking other services to actually get treatment and make changes in their lives.” If the office does go out of business, Geldhof and Griffiths explained, it would be much
more difficult for these syringe users to get access to clean syringes and needles. There would no longer be a free program in town, and people would have to go to pharmacies and buy them, they said. They also said that some pharmacies might not even sell to people who don’t have an insulin prescription. Geldhof, who is also a registered nurse, said she’s particularly concerned about Hepatitis C and skin infections in addition to HIV. Cases of Hepatitis C have already been rising at a concerning rate, Geldhof said. An Alaska Department of Health and Social Services Epidemiology bulletin from August 2016 stated that in Southeast, cases of Hepatitis C in
young adults increased by 490 percent. Geldhof said there’s a correlation between needle usage and Hepatitis C. Geldhof pointed out that people from all around Southeast come to Juneau for this program, and secluded places such as Haines could be in danger of an outbreak if the community no longer has access to clean needles. In terms of a long-term solution to the funding problem, Davis said, her office is actively seeking out grants. “Getting grants, of course, is the best way to do it,” Davis said, “because you can’t depend on donors every year and you have to keep an office sustainable, so we’re trying to find sustainable sources.”
year. While salaries pay expenses at home, per diem pays for rentals, food and transportation away from home. As the state budget has been slashed amid falling oil prices, per diem has become a contentious topic, though it makes up a tiny fraction of the state’s multibillion-dollar budget. “We already know how the public feels about it. They made it pretty clear,” Millett said. Guttenberg isn’t running for re-election this year and said he wants to see per diem reduced before lawmakers start collecting the higher rate in January. Jessica Geary, director of the nonpartisan Legislative Affairs Agency, was prepared Friday to present three options: $213 per day, $263 per day, or $275 per day. The $213 figure was what lawmakers had earned before the federal rate rose to $275.
The $263 figure was an average of $213, $275 and the new $302 figure. Guttenberg said he was also thinking of a fourth figure, an average of the three per diem rates before the most recent increase. The result would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $230 per day. Guttenberg said he wants to see per diem go down, but he doesn’t want to see it go down so far that poor Alaskans cannot afford to serve in the Legislature. This year, Rep. Sam Kito III, D-Juneau, cited the loss of per diem as a reason he was not running for re-election. “For members coming back or not coming back, you don’t want to make it harder for people to go down there,” he said. That said, Millett believes the council must make some cuts. “The optics of trusting government are never going to get
better until we lead by example,” she said. Staffing remains cut In other business Friday, the council voted against reversing cuts to the operating hours of the state’s Legislative Information Offices. Those offices are now closed on Friday afternoons as a cost-cutting measure. Last year, lawmakers closed the Unalaska LIO because no one was using it and because its manager retired. The council considered using money saved from the closure of the Unalaska office to extend the Friday hours of remaining offices. That vote failed 6-6; eight votes were needed to approve the measure. Closing the Unalaska LIO saves $106,000 per year, according to figures presented at the meeting. Extending office hours would have cost about $107,600.
punishment in this case in no way matched the severity of the crime,” he said in prepared remarks. “We must fix this problem immediately, and we will.” “Any reasonable person would think the disturbing and offensive actions of Mr. Schneider qualify as a sex offense,” Attorney General Jahna Lindemuth said in prepared remarks released with Walker’s words. “The law needs to be fixed.” Walker had already been scheduled to present a public update on the progress of his crime-fighting plan, and that update will now include a proposal for new legislation that “makes causing unwanted contact with semen a sex offense.” According to the governor’s statement, the penalty for that offense would be jail time of 2-12 years and mandatory registration as a sex offender. Walker’s three opponents in
the November general election also offered their thoughts on the case following the governor’s announcement. In a prepared statement texted to the Empire, Republican Mike Dunleavy said, “This injustice is an outrage, particularly in Alaska where women suffer from horrific rates of violence. I’ll support legislation to close this loophole, whether it’s this bill or another. The women of Alaska deserve better.” Democratic candidate Mark Begich posted a video on his Facebook page, saying, “I’m as upset and outraged as you are about what happened in that case.” He went on to criticize Dunleavy and Walker for their crime-fighting plans, adding, “but what’s more outrageous is what these two have done. When you look at Sen. Dun-
leavy, he quit after he cut the prosecutors and the court system … and what has the governor done? He’s had four years.” In an email, Libertarian Billy Toien wrote that the events were “an absolute disgrace. Of course, Judge Corey needs to be off the bench immediately.” Toien also said by phone that he has significant problems with plea bargaining because prosecutors can overload criminal suspects with charges in an attempt to intimidate Alaskans unfamiliar with the criminal justice system. Under intimidation, innocent people might plead guilty to avoid the consequences of a failed defense. Toien said that isn’t what happened here. “When one is guilty of truly heinous acts, it is the duty of justice to be swift and severe. In this case, it was neither.”
Around the Nation US considers limit on green cards for immigrants on benefits SAN DIEGO — The Trump administration has proposed rules that could deny green cards to immigrants if they use Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers and other forms of public assistance. Federal law already requires those seeking green cards to prove they will not be a burden — or “public charge” — but the new rules detail a broad range of programs that could disqualify them. The Department of Homeland Security said Saturday that current and past receipt of certain public benefits above thresholds would be considered “a heavily weighed negative factor” in granting green cards as well as temporary stays. The proposal “will clearly define long-standing law to ensure that those seeking to enter and remain in the United States either temporarily or permanently can support themselves financially and will not be reliant on public benefits,” the department said.
3D gun advocate accused of sex with minor jailed AUSTIN, Texas — The owner of a Texas company that sells plans to make untraceable 3-D printed guns was back in the U.S. Sunday after being arrested in Taiwan, where police say he flew after learning he was being investigated for allegedly having sex with an underage girl. The U.S. Marshals Service said 30-year-old Cody Wilson was booked into Harris County Jail in Houston early Sunday and was being held on $150,000 bond. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney yet. He was arrested Friday at a hotel in Taiwan by local police. He is facing sexual assault charges in Austin, according to a statement from the U.S. Marshals service.

ferent opportunities that can be explored.” The Old Harbor Alliance began discussing the purchase of the herd in 2015. The following year, it began making contact with ranchers and state officials — and became a member of the Inter-Tribal Buffalo Council, a national organization that aims to help bring back bison and buffalo to Natives.
“Learning from them and by getting in touch with local ranchers, we were able to gather as much information as we could to begin the planning for moving these animals,” Cynthia Berns said. “It was just so foreign to us. We know about fish as agriculture, but we didn’t know about bison as agriculture.” By the time the deal was done, the herd was down to around 40 animals. Cynthia Berns explained that feeding Old Harbor’s roughly 230 residents was the initial motivation.
Today in History Today is Monday, Sept. 24, the 267th day of 2018. There are 98 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On September 24, 1789, President George Washington signed a Judiciary Act establishing America’s federal court system and creating the post of attorney general. On this date: In 1869, thousands of businessmen were ruined in a Wall Street panic known as “Black Friday” after financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market. In 1890, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Wilford Woodruff, wrote a manifesto renouncing the practice of plural marriage, or polygamy. In 1896, author F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. In 1934, Babe Ruth made his farewell appearance as a player with the New York Yankees in a game against the Boston Red Sox. (The Sox won, 5-0.) In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack while on vacation in Denver. In 1960, the USS Enterprise, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, was launched at Newport News, Virginia. “The Howdy Doody Show” ended a nearly 13-year run with its final telecast on NBC. In 1968, the TV news magazine “60 Minutes” premiered on CBS; the undercover police drama “The Mod Squad” premiered on ABC. In 1976, former hostage Patricia Hearst was sentenced to seven years in prison for her part in a 1974 bank robbery in San Francisco carried out by the Symbionese Liberation Army. (Hearst was released after 22 months after receiving clemency from President Jimmy Carter.) In 1988, Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson won the men’s 100-meter dash at the Seoul (sohl) Summer Olympics -- but he was disqualified three days later for using anabolic steroids. Members of the eastern Massachusetts Episcopal diocese elected Barbara C. Harris the first female bishop in the church’s history. In 1991, kidnappers in Lebanon freed British hostage Jack Mann after holding him captive for more than two years. Children’s author Theodor Seuss Geisel (GY’-zul), better known as Dr. Seuss, died in La Jolla, Calif., at age 87. In 1996, the United States and 70 other countries became the first to sign a treaty at the United Nations to end all testing and development of nuclear weapons. (The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty has yet to enter into force because of the refusal so far of eight nations -- including the United States -- to ratify it.) In 2007, United Auto Workers walked off the job at General Motors plants in the first nationwide strike during auto contract negotiations since 1976; a tentative pact ended the walkout two days later. Ten years ago: Officials reopened Galveston, Texas, to residents who were warned about Hurricane Ike’s debris and disruption of utilities. Japanese lawmakers elected Taro Aso, leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, prime minister. Five years ago: President Barack Obama and new Iranian President Hasan Rouhani appeared separately before the U.N. General Assembly, with both leaders speaking up for improved relations and a resumption of stalled nuclear talks, but giving no ground on long-held positions that had scuttled previous attempts to break the impasse. Kenya’s president proclaimed victory over the terrorists who’d stormed a Nairobi mall following a bloody four-day siege in which dozens of civilians were killed. A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake rocked southwest Pakistan, killing at least 376 people. Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, began an old-style filibuster lasting nearly 22 hours over President Barack Obama’s health care law. One year ago: More than 200 NFL players kneeled or sat during the national anthem after President Donald Trump criticized the players’ protests in a speech and a series of tweets. Trump signed a proclamation to replace his expiring travel ban on visitors from six Muslim-majority countries; citizens from eight countries would now face new restrictions on entry to the country. German Chancellor Angela Merkel won a fourth term in office, but voters weakened her conservatives and a nationalist, anti-migrant party surged into Germany’s parliament. Today’s Birthdays: Rhythm-and-blues singer Sonny Turner (The Platters) is 79. Singer Barbara Allbut Brown (The Angels) is 78. Singer Phyllis “Jiggs” Allbut Sirico (The Angels) is 76.

Soldotna Community Schools classes begin By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
The opportunity to learn how to sew fur, master the fundamentals of coffee, swing dance and cha-cha, excel at table tennis and more is now as easy as attending a class through the Soldotna Community Schools program. The program is broken up into two, 10-week sessions. The first session started this month, and a variety of classes are available every week. From survival gardening to the power of masks, community members can learn or teach a multitude of topics. The program was founded in 1975 with a partnership with the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and other communities. Today, the school district and the city of Soldotna work together to make the program available to the central peninsula. Assistant director of Soldotna Parks and Recreation Joel Todd said the ultimate goal of the program was to take advantage of school facilities in the off hours. These days, there are fewer classes taught schools, but many do still take place in the halls of Soldotna Prep School. Todd himself said he remembers taking Soldotna Community Schools classes at Soldotna Prep.
Class topics have a wide range. The teachers are community members who have a wealth of knowledge and passion they wish to share with others. There’s no degree required. “In the past, the owner of the tackle shop would teach a class about fly fishing,” Todd said. “We’ve held on to that philosophy of community teaching community, and the community sharing skills with others.” Todd said the program is constantly looking for new instructors. For each class, a small, relevant fee is charged, with the majority going back to the instructor, and a small portion going back into the program. Todd said the city recognizes the program as an asset and a valuable part of the community, which is why the program takes care of as much of the logistics as possible, so instructors can focus on teaching their class, and less about the behind-thescenes work. “We work hard to make it so instructors can just walk in and teach their class,” Todd said. “It makes it easier for an instructor who works full time.” For more information about Soldotna Community Schools visit their Facebook page at In this March 20, 2018 file photo, Suzanne Hall prepares to spin wool into yarn during a Soldotna Community Schools yarnhttps://www.facebook.com/Solspinning class in the library of the Soldotna Preparatory School in Soldotna.

KPC’s Kachemak Bay Campus Semester by the Bay program participates in federal beluga count According to Debbie Boege-Tobin, KBC Professor of biology and coordinator of the unique Semester by the Bay program, students currently in the program participated in the recent Cook Inlet Beluga Whale Count event. Boege-Tobin has worked continually to partner with various state, federal and non-profit agencies to establish internships and other “real life” experiences for the Semester by the Bay students. Students from all over the U.S. who are interested in the marine sciences have been recruited to participate in the Kachemak Bay Campus SBB program. The one-semester curriculum, offered each fall, enables students to experience and learn about the rich Kachemak Bay environment and be involved in hands-on marine research. Brook Faulker, SBB student, was quoted in an Alaska Public Media story recently and several students participated in the count. “I was just talking and then all of a sudden I was like, ‘It’s right there!’” Faulkner said. She’s studying biology at a Homer-based semester program. “It was within like 50 feet of us.” For more information and to read the entire the article, visit this link: https://www. alaskapublic.org/2018/09/18/a-federalplan-to-save-alaskas-belugas-starts-with-

High schoolers stand up to censorship and win By LISA RATHKE Associated Press
BURLINGTON, Vt. — Armed with a new Vermont law that protects student journalists, four high school editors have stood up to censorship and won, prompting their school to revamp its media policy. The Burlington High School students had posted a story on the school newspaper website that they collectively wrote on a school employee facing unprofessional conduct charges from the state. They had gotten a tip about the investigation and filed a public records request, posting
“I think on a larger scale we’ve just learned how important and how vital the first amendment is to just our country, and our society and our government,” said senior Nataleigh Noble, 17. Burlington High School Principal Noel Green didn’t return a phone call seeking comment. The school district announced Sept. 15 that “all previously practiced or adopted guidelines regarding publications in the BHS Register are no longer in effect.” The school board, and the administration, will develop a written policy consistent with the new law, in a process involv-

the story the night of Sept. 10. The next morning, the principal asked the students’ adviser to take it down. The students quickly consulted with legal experts about what do to and wrote on the website that their article had been censored. Days later, the principal said the students could repost the story since it had been picked up by local media. Then, Sept 15, the school did another aboutface and said it would change its policy on media, based on the New Voices law. “I think I’ve learned more in the past week than I have in my entire life. It’s been really incredible,” senior Halle Newman, 17, said. The big lesson is she’s learned to stand up for herself and what she believes in and for their rights as a student press, she said. They’ve also witnessed how important journalism is to a community, she said, from the community reaction and support.
ing the students, the district said. “The New Voices law is intended to ensure free speech and free press protections for public school students in order to encourage students to become educated, informed, and responsible members of society,” the district said. Thirteen states have passed similar legislation. “The importance of this case was that it really did provide a good solid example that these laws really are important and do work,” said Mike Hiestand, legal consultant for the Washington-based Student Press Law Center, where about 40 percent of the incoming calls are about censorship. Now at least two of the Vermont students see journalism in their futures. “We’ve gotten like such a rush from putting out this important information and helping out community,” said Noble. Newman said she’d always wanted to pursue journalism but the experience confirmed it.

Bills pull off massive upset of Vikings By The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Josh Allen played with the poise of a well-seasoned quarterback for the Buffalo Bills by accounting for three touchdowns in his first road start in the NFL. Allen made Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins look like the raw rookie in a stunning 27-6 upset of the Vikings on Sunday. Cousins had three turnovers, including a lost fumble on a third-down sack inside Minnesota’s 20-yard line, on each of the first two possessions. Buffalo turned those recoveries into 10 points and was on cruise control by midway through the second quarter as the crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium cranked up the boos. SAINTS 43, FALCONS 37, OT ATLANTA — Drew Brees’ 1-yard run capped an 80-yard touchdown drive to open overtime. Brees’ score came after his apparent 3-yard TD pass to Alvin Kamara was overturned on video review that determined Kamara’s knee was down before the goal line. Brees scored on a keeper on the

Woods takes Tour Championship By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer
ATLANTA — Tiger Woods, in his Sunday red shirt, both arms raised in victory on the 18th green. For so many years, the scene was familiar. This time, it was surreal. “I can’t believe I pulled this off,” Woods said Sunday during the trophy presentation at the Tour Championship, where he gave thousands of delirious fans at East Lake, and millions more around the world, what they wanted to see, and what they thought they might never see again. And at that moment, Woods was overcome with emotion and paused. After two back surgeries six weeks apart, he couldn’t lie down, sit or walk without pain. Golf was the least of his concerns, so much that he once said anything else he achieved would be “gravy.” One year ago, while recovering from a fourth back surgery, he still had no idea if he could come back to the highest level of golf. “Just to be able to compete and play again this year, that’s a hell of a comeback,” he said. Woods delivered the perfect ending to his amazing return from back surgeries with a performance out of the past. He left the competition feeling hopeless as he built a five-shot lead early and then hung on for a 1-over 71 and a two-shot victory over Billy Horschel. It was the 80th victory of his PGA Tour, two short of the career record held by Sam Snead that is now very much in play. And it was his first victory in more than five years, dating to the 2013 Bridgestone Invitational. And that brought a new version of Tigermania.
After he hit his second shot to the par-5 18th safely in a bunker in front of the green, the crowd came through the ropes and followed behind in a chaotic celebration. It was like that when he walked from the left side of the 18th fairway at the 1997 Masters he won by 12. It was reminiscent of that walk up the 18th fairway later that summer at the Western Open in Chicago. This was pure pandemonium. Fans chased after any inch of grass they could find to watch the ending. “I didn’t want to get run over,” Woods said with a laugh. This felt just as big as a major, maybe better considering where Woods had been. Several players, from Zach Johnson to Rickie Fowler to Horschel, waited to greet him. It was Johnson who unveiled red shirts at the Ryder Cup two years ago in the team room that said, “Make Tiger Great Again.” “They knew what I was struggling with,” Woods said. “It was special to see them.” Woods played only one PGA Tour event over two seasons because of his back. Off the golf course, he had to overcome the embarrassment of a DUI arrest in the early morning of Memorial Day in 2017 when he was found asleep at the wheel, later found to have a concoction of pain medication in his system. He was becoming a legend on in video highlights. And then he brought it back to life this year, especially the last four days at East Lake. The players who have turns at No. 1 during his absence caught the full brunt of Woods in control. McIlroy faded early. Justin Rose faded late. All that was left was the 42-year-old Woods in that red shirt, blazing brighter than ever, and a smile he couldn’t shake walking up the 18th to collect another trophy.
CIA soccer gets Borealis top seed Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team defeated Wasilla Lake Christian 3-1 on Friday and Birchwood Christian 5-1 on Saturday to finish the regular season 12-0 in the Borealis Conference and 15-1 overall. The Eagles will get the top seed at the Borealis Conference tournament this weekend. Friday, the Eagles faced the defending Borealis champions in Wasilla Lake. A tight first half saw sophomore goalie Jackson Cross, starting in goal for Lucas Cragg, keep the game scoreless. Cragg was out with illness. CIA coach Kenny Leaf said he could feel his team was building toward something as the Eagles saw more and more
possession in Wasilla Lake’s half of the field. In the 60th minute, James Anderson scored for the Eagles. Just two minutes later, Hunter Moos found Sophie Nelson on the far post for a 2-0 lead. Wasilla Lake came back just three minutes later to cut the gap to 2-1, but just five minutes later Linnaea Dohse got the ball to Moos for a 3-1 lead. CIA would then drain time off the clock to secure the top seed in the conference tourney. Saturday was not nearly as dramatic as Anderson recorded his first career hat trick and Moos scored twice as the Eagles netted all five goals in the first 25 minutes. The only assist was by Alex Emery. The conference tourney will be Thursday and Friday at Kincaid Park and Saturday at Begich Middle School.

Crossword
Man afraid to be alone starts affairs with married women playing field hockey? I wish I could give each task my full attention, but I’m not going to be home much because of school. -- JUGGLING IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR JUGGLING: I am sure your mother’s diagnosis has caused stress for every member of your family, including those who are away, and for that I am Abigail Van Buren sorry. You are so young, and I can only imagine the stress you are feeling. If you were discussing this with your mother, I am sure she would tell you -- as I am -- how important it is that you keep up with your schoolwork and activities. You cannot assume the entire responsibility for her care by yourself. Who will help her during her treatments, and how much time you should realistically devote, is something both your parents should help you to determine. None of you will really know how much assistance she’ll require until the process is started, so be flexible and take things a step at a time.
DEAR ABBY: My mom owns two successful women’s clothing stores near my hometown that she’s had for more than 10 years. The problem is, she named them after me, and I hate it! I’ve tried talking to her about it many times, but every time I bring it up she gets sarcastic, says things like, “This is a fun conversation,” and doesn’t let me get a word out. I have tried talking to the rest of my family about it, but they don’t consider it a big deal and tell me I’m being ridiculous. I have run out of ideas about what to do, so if you could give me some advice, it would really help. -- ANGRY DAUGHTER DEAR ANGRY DAUGHTER: Many daughters would consider what your mother did to be a compliment. However, because it bothers you so much, consider going by your MIDDLE name. And, if that doesn’t satisfy you, and you feel strongly enough about this, go to court and legally change your name to another one you like when you reach adulthood. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 24, 2018: This year you come to an understanding with those who often take the opposite point of view from yours. In fact, your comprehension will help resolve some hot issues. Your focus will be on finances and potential enhancements. If you are single, you will have quite a few opportunities to be coupled up, but you may back out of several potential bonds. Get involved only with someone who is right for you. If you are attached, your sweetie might not be as agreeable as usual. Give him or her some space for now. ARIES often stands up to you. 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 Your dreams could be more significant than you initially believe. Because of your precognitive abilities, you might opt to head in a new direction. You could feel a push and pull between you and others when discussing an issue. Keep your cool. Tonight: Do some juggling! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You have been unusually focused as of late. Stay centered, as plans could change when you wake up. Honor the need to change your emphasis. You might feel a drive to do some long-overdue research. You need more facts at your fingertips. Tonight: Visit with an older friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You have been very deep in your own thoughts. Today, you will start acting on some insights. You might not feel comfortable with
Rubes
what you are seeing. Sharing your thoughts works well in getting your message across. Be ready for a myriad of responses. Tonight: Where the crowds are. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might be a bit frazzled as you swing from feeling levelheaded and logical to emotional. Tune in to your inner self and consider recent reflections before you take the lead. Follow through on what you feel and know. Your imagination goes wild. Tonight: Take charge. LEO: (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal issue that could be drawing a lot of attention. Of course, everyone has a different opinion that he or she might want to share. You could be overwhelmed by everything you hear. Step back, if possible. Tonight: Break a pattern. VIRGO.(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Close relating draws many people toward you. You could have a disagreement with several people over how to handle finances. You might find a midpoint of agreement if you can understand where others are coming from. Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You’ll want to approach a personal matter differently. Before you are able to act, the other party could make the first move. Know that this person feels as strongly as you do, which might be a positive thing, as you can find a point of agreement. Tonight: Accept a fun invitation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Keep your focus on your work and on daily matters. Be sure

to schedule a doctor’s appointment. Try to understand where someone is coming from, especially if the two of you have a difference of opinion. Encourage others to be more understanding. Tonight: Take a walk. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Opportunities head your way if you remain open. Your creativity sparks each time an offer comes in. You might enjoy some of the perks that emerge as a result. Do not get caught in a power struggle involving a loved one. Step away from control games. Tonight: Time for fun! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH One-on-one relating could prove to be rather fruitful. Nevertheless, keep what you know to yourself right now. Answers might come forward in an odd manner. Someone is likely to ask a question that reveals more knowledge. Honor a promise. Tonight: Not to be found. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You often tell it like it is. You could be challenged by your knowledge of a situation. Hold off on speaking your mind for now. Weigh the pros and cons of a situation, and decide what might be most effective. Trust your instincts. Tonight: Call a friend at a distance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Take charge, and run with an idea while you can. Others won’t intend to interfere, but they will. You have reason to back off completely, as confusion seems to surround communication. Play it low-key. Tonight: Don’t challenge anyone’s authority. BORN TODAY Filmmaker Jim Henson (1936), actress Nia Vardalos (1962), football player Joe Greene (1946)
Bring that dog indoors! Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about leaving a pet outside all year. -- Heloise “Dear Heloise: One of my neighbors got a large dog and keeps it in their backyard. They claim that it’s too large to live in the house. If that’s the case, then DON’T get a large dog. It’s too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter to leave a pet outside all year. A doghouse does not provide the protection a dog needs. Besides the elements, animals get lonely. “Dogs and cats need human interaction, so if you’re not willing to bring your pet indoors or feed it a healthy diet, then please don’t get a pet or watchdog or any animal at all.” -- Elsa and Frank T., Tempe, Ariz. SMELLY FRIDGE Dear Heloise: We have a terrible smell coming from our refrigerator. What should I do to get rid of the odor? -- Elaine J., Hollywood, Fla. Elaine, first take everything out of the refrigerator, including shelves. Wash down the interior with warm, soapy water, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap. Dry with another clean cloth. To keep refrigerator odors at bay, place an open box of baking soda on a shelf, or if you’re worried about it spilling, pour the baking soda into a plastic food container and poke holes in the lid. Works great! For other cleaning and deodorizing hints involved baking soda, order my Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet by sending $5, along with a long, stamped (71 cents), self-addressed envelope, to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Or you can order it online at www.Heloise.com. When it’s time to replace the baking soda (the recommendation is every three months), pour it down the drain as a deodorizer. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: My son has taken it upon himself to get romantically involved with two different married women. He’s newly divorced after a long marriage and hates the idea of being alone. He says he loves them both, but realizes there’s no future with either one, so he’s trying to extricate himself from the jam he’s gotten into. The problem is, the women refuse to let go, and it’s causing all sorts of problems. Any ideas? -- DAD IN THE MIDDLE IN NEW YORK DEAR DAD: If you are smart, you’ll stay out of this mess. Hasn’t it occurred to you that if your son was truly unhappy with the situation, he -- not you -- would have sought help for his problem? He doesn’t love either of those women; he loves what he’s getting from them -- attention, companionship, sex. Because they are married, he doesn’t have to worry about them wanting a commitment from him as a single woman might. If he really wanted to stop these dolls from “stalking” him, he would threaten to make their husbands aware of what’s been going on, and THAT would be the end of it.
