Gathering place Rain doesn’t dampen spirits at Industry Appreciation Day

By ELIZABETH EARL Peninsula Clarion

This year may be the first year that the weather soured enough to rain on Industry Appreciation Day, but Kenai Peninsula residents didn’t that stop their fun.

The annual event, organized by the Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District and attended by hundreds of peninsula residents, took over the Kenai Park Strip on Saturday with booths, food and activities. Political candidates

lined one side of the park while industry groups from commercial fishing, oil and gas and health care chatted with visitors, handing out pamphlets and goodies.

Down the way, volunteers took signups for the event’s signature Frozen T-shirt contest, during which participants have to unfreeze and wriggle their way into a t-shirt to win.

Sockeye harvest down, run later than usual

By ELIZABETH EARL Peninsula Clarion

Alaska’s salmon have been much fewer and significantly later this year.

From Southeast Alaska to Kodiak, fishermen have been wringing their hands all season as the king, sockeye, chum and now pink salmon have failed to

show up in the numbers forecast by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. In Cook Inlet, a weak king salmon run led to restrictions on both the early and late runs of Kenai River kings, dinging both the sportfishing and commercial fishing industries. Even the normally plentiful Kenai River sockeye run started showing signs of weakness, leading to a complete closure for sockeye fishing from Aug. 4–23.

In the past, the peak of the Kenai River sockeye salmon run has arrived in July, with major pulses of more than 70,000 fish in a day. This year, the bulk of the run has arrived in August, making the run about 9 days later than normal average run timing.

That number of fish arriving after Aug. 1 is unprecedented, said Forrest Bowers, the deputy director of the Division of Commercial Fisheries.

“That was unusual, and we took that step because we had met the (Kenai River) inriver goal for late-run sockeye,” he said. “Over half of the sonar passage that occurred in

August, that’s very unusual, almost unprecedented. We’re meeting all of the established goals that we have for coho — in the Deshka, Jim Creek, Fish Creek — and so the department made the decision to expand the drift gillnet fishery into Area 1 to allow the opportunity to harvest those additional sockeye.”

Online sonar records show that in 2006, the sonar had counted 897,978 sockeye by July 31, jumping to over 2 million by Aug. 31. As of Tuesday, 979,349 sockeye had passed the sonar this season, with more half of that number arriving since Aug. 1.

ermen on the east side of Cook Inlet finish their season on Aug. 15. Drift gillnet fishermen in Upper Cook Inlet shift largely to the west side of Cook Inlet after Aug. 15, focusing on silver and pink salmon returning to the streams on the west side. However, because of the late arrival of the sockeye to the Kenai, commercial fishing managers opened drifting in Drift Gillnet Area 1 — a more central area of the inlet between Kalgin Island the Anchor Point Light — for 12 hours on Thursday.

The sockeye harvest was small, though — of the 1,579 See FISH, page A2

Though the tourism traffic on the Kenai Peninsula’s roads has thinned out as the summer wanes, local drivers should still expect some delays due to construction.

Contractors for the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities are still plugging away at several road projects on the Kenai Peninsula. One of the most visible has been the Sterling Highway milepost 58–79 project, stretching nearly 22 miles along the highway between Sterling and the Skyline trailhead. Workers for contractor Granite Construction have installed a new bridge over the east fork of the Moose River and are working on realigning sections of the road.

Work largely takes place after 8 p.m., with pilot car operations between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. between mileposts 67 and 70 and 58.5–60, according to Alaska 511. Construction on that road is expected to last into October.

Closer to Soldotna, crews are also working on constructing a turning lane at the intersection of the Sterling Highway and Jim Dahler Road/Forest Lane.

Work on that project also takes place largely at night, between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Flaggers are present and other equipment, so drivers should take care, according to Alaska 511.

In town, utility crews are working on replacing lines along the Kenai Spur Highway in preparation for a highway widening project in the future.

Road work is partially suspended until the end of August to allow the utility crews to work,

and traffic impacts should be minor until then, according to Alaska 511. On the other side of the river, drivers should expect flaggers and delays on Kalifornsky Beach Road as contractors work on resurfacing and improving that road, adding traffic signals at Gaswell and Ciechanski roads.

Some intersection closures are coming up for the traffic light work. Between Aug. 31 and Sept 3, the Gas Well Road and K-Beach intersection will be closed, with drivers redirected onto a detour. The same kind of closure will happen at the Ciechanski Road and K-Beach intersection between Sept. 7 and Sept. 10, with drivers redirected onto Kimberly Drive See ROAD, page A2

ACLU files lawsuit over campaign sign crackdown ANCHORAGE (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska has filed a lawsuit in response to a recent crackdown of campaign signs.

An independent expenditure group supporting Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Dunleavy and Alaska resident Eric Siebels are also plaintiffs in case, the Anchorage Daily News reported .

The ACLU seeks to block the enforcement of a state statute that prohibits signs near state roadways. The organization said in a statement it wants those rules to be struck down as unconstitutional.

The state of Alaska and the Alaska Transportation Department are named as defendants in the lawsuit filed Thursday.

The lawsuit comes a month after the Transportation Department seized more than two dozen political signs in Anchorage that agency officials said were illegally placed along state roads.

A state statute cited in the lawsuit says outdoor advertising “may not be erected or maintained within 660 feet (200 meters) of the nearest edge of the right-of-way and visible from the main-traveled way of the interstate, primary or secondary highways” in Alaska.

The lawsuit argues the department’s recent actions specifically targeted political speech.

“We, along with our supporters who are absolutely outraged by this, we just want to ensure that everyone has their right to free speech protected,” said Terre Gales, chair of the independent expenditure group in the case, Dunleavy for Alaska. “And that’s regardless of who they support.”

The agency reaches out to campaigns each year to educate them on Alaska’s laws, and campaigns are given notice before their signs are removed unless the signs pose a safety hazard and must be removed immediately, said Meadow Bailey, Transportation Department spokeswoman.

Homer man charged with stealing $85K in frozen seafood

By ELIZABETH EARL Peninsula Clarion

A Homer man allegedly made off with approximately $85,000 in frozen seafood from a Ninilchik business.

Alaska State Troopers arrested Garrett Fitzgerald, 53, on Friday in connection with a burglary at a Ninilchik-area fish processing business. Investigation showed that a man entered the business around 2:50 a.m. Wednesday and stole food, money and seafood from the commercial freezer in the business.

Information from the business owner and from further investigation connected the burglary to Fitzgerald, who was located and arrested Friday in Soldotna, according to an online trooper dispatch. Some of the stolen fish was located at the scene, and investigation is ongoing, according to the dispatch.

Approximately 3,000 pounds of seafood was stolen, said Alaska State Troopers spokesperson Megan Peters in an email. It was packaged in boxes that were carried out and placed in personally owned vehicles for transportation, she said.

“We believe at least one other person was involved,” she said.

Fitzgerald was charged with one count of theft in the first degree, a class B felony, and one count of burglary in the second degree, a class C felony. He was scheduled for arraignment Saturday morning in Kenai.

Drivers in the Sterling area have also had to watch their speed a little more carefully near Sterling Elementary School. The Department of Transportation recently dropped the speed limit on part of the Sterling Highway near the school from 55 miles per hour to 45, effectively extending the 45 mile-per-hour zone a little farther toward Soldotna.

DOT spokesperson Shannon McCarthy said the state had been considering the request to lower the speed limit in the area for some time, and expects the decrease in speed limit to help with compliance in the school zone nearby.

In Soldotna, drivers and residents have been avoiding Kobuk Street as crews from the Soldotna maintenance department have been resurfacing it and completing related nearby utility work. Lee Frey, project manager for city of Soldotna, said the project is nearing completion. The road has been paved and the asphalt needs to sit for a couple weeks before street markings are painted.

The west side of the Corral Avenue intersection is the only place currently under construction. He said the city is waiting on some special equipment to finish up the area, which could take a couple more weeks.

salmon harvested, 242 were sockeye. The rest were a mixture of silvers, pinks and chums, with 1,308 silvers, 25 pinks and 4 chums, according to Fish and Game’s online harvest records.

Effort has tapered off with the season as well, with fewer boats heading out for the openings in Upper Cook Inlet.

The abundance data the department has to work with on sockeye is fairly limited in August — the offshore test fishery in Anchor Point finishes its season July 31, and by the time the fish hit the sonar, they’re past the commercial fishery.

Most of the management plans for Upper Cook Inlet are fairly prescriptive, based largely on dates and keyed into a sockeye fishery that peaks in July, Bowers said.

“When we’re seeing these exceptionally large sonar numbers (in August), we’re wondering, ‘What’s out in the inlet?’” he said.

Cook Inlet’s commercial fishermen had a tough year.

Many say they’re frustrated with management decisions that result in fish going unharvested. Commercial fisherman and United Cook Inlet Drift Association President Dave Martin said he doesn’t remember a worse year. The association has long argued that Fish and Game’s escapement goals are set too high and that they allow too many salmon, particularly pinks and silvers, to enter the rivers and damage the returns in the future.

“This is the fourth year in a row the rivers have been plugged with fish and the fishermen have gone hungry,” Martin said.

The total seasonal harvest is significantly below the forecast for Upper Cook Inlet’s commercial fishermen — as of Thursday, the harvest stood at approximately 1.3 million salmon, 812,564 of which were sockeye. That’s less than half the forecasted harvest of 1.9 million sockeye that Fish and Game projected in November.

Fish and Game and other researchers are linking the poor salmon survival to warm water

nai Peninsula Economic Development District Executive Director Tim Dillon called their names from the stage to recognize them for their efforts organizing the event every year. They were caught flat-footed by that, Jane Madison said.

They’ve been working on the event about seven or eight years, Will Madison.

“This is the first year where it’s actually rained,” he said.

“It’s been cloudy before, and a couple of years ago, it rained right after.”

But it didn’t seem to bother anyone. Kids jumped into harnesses to try their hand at climbing a rock wall manned by the Alaska Army National Guard, nevermind slippery

handholds. Kids and adults carefully climbed the metal staircase near the Copper River Seafoods stand to explore the commercial drift gillnet salmon fishing boat parked on the grass.

Scattered among the booths were young men in black jackets and aprons, lending a hand moving fishing buoys or handing out pamphlets or picking up trash. Emblazoned on the aprons were logos identifying them as Kenai River Brown Bears players. The junior hockey league team based in Soldotna attracts players from all over the world to come play in Alaska.

This year’s team members have only been here a week, but they’ve already collective-

ly volunteered more than 275 hours, said coach Josh Petrich. Community service isn’t a requirement of being a team member, but it’s something they look for when interviewing players.

“We don’t have any owner, so the community basically owns our team,” he said. “It’s our thank you.”

The Madisons weren’t the only people to walk away with awards. Organizers gave away industry-oriented recognitions to a variety of community members, from commercial fishing to oil and gas and tourism. The awards are a hallmark of the event, which has now ticked off its 27th year.

in the Gulf of Alaska in 2015, when the present year’s spawners outmigrated into the ocean.

Some research has shown that warmer water changes the availability of food sources that young salmon feed on, making it harder for them to survive upon reaching the marine environment.

Though fishermen have grown used to unpredictable or weak king salmon harvests and experienced a disastrously poor pink salmon run in 2016, sockeye are usually a dependably plentiful species. Copper River commercial fishermen caught about 30 percent fewer sockeye than the 2018 forecast and about 10 percent fewer than last year; Kodiak commercial fishermen caught about 62 percent fewer.

Chignik had only one brief opening that produced so few fish that stakeholders in the district petitioned the Board of Fisheries for a disaster declaration, which Gov. Bill Walker granted Thursday.

Statewide, the salmon harvest is down about 31 percent.

The pink salmon harvest is down about 30 percent, though Fish and Game was expecting to be a relatively poor year because of the low return in 2016 producing fewer offspring, Bowers said. However, in 2016, fishermen harvested 38 million pinks, and so far this year they’ve only harvested

between 34.5 million as of Tuesday.

“We were projecting a harvest of about 69 million (pinks) this year,” Bowers said.

The downturn is not uniform across the state: 2018 has been a great year for Bristol Bay fishermen. The area broke harvest records, and with downturns elsewhere, the prices have been higher than some other years. The numbers from Bristol Bay buoy the total numbers — of the 48.9 million sockeye harvested statewide, 41.8 million were in Bristol Bay. Another 3.3 million were harvested in the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands, leaving only about 3 million in

harvest between Kodiak, Chignik, Prince William Sound, Southeast and Cook Inlet.

Bowers noted in a preliminary season summary released Thursday that it’s important to keep harvests in perspective.

Last year was a recordbreaking harvest year, with the three largest commercial salmon harvests on record between 2013 and 2017. Harvests between 100 million and 150 million fish were more common in the 1970s.

Final harvest numbers are expected to be available in mid-October.

Obituary Dusty Lee Boyer Longtime Alaskan and Nikiski resident Dusty Lee Boyer, 69, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018.

No services are planned at his request.

Dusty was born Mar. 26, 1949 in Long Beach, Calif. He moved to Alaska with his family and graduated from Kodiak High School. He attended Rice University of Houston, Texas for aviation technology, to become an airplane mechanic. He served in the U.S. Navy, where he worked as a helicopter mechanic. Upon leaving the Navy, he worked as an airplane mechanic in Anchorage. He retired from Southcentral Air in Kenai and lived in Alaska for most of his adult life.

Dusty enjoyed the outdoors. He spent a lot of time fishing, hunting, gold panning and scuba diving.

Arrangements were by Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai.

James Ralph Isham James “Jim” Ralph Isham, 70, of Soldotna, Alaska, was called home to his gracious Lord on Wednesday, August 15, 2018.

He was born on August 29, 1947 in San Francisco, California, the son of Ralph and Pearl (Carson) Isham. He was a 1965 graduate of Terra Linda High School, San Rafael, California.

Jim’s love for Alaska started at an early age when, as a teenager, he spent many years hitchhiking and exploring this beautiful state. While in Alaska, Jim enlisted in the Navy and became a Seabee (US Naval Construction Battalion; CBMU 302). He proudly served in Vietnam for four years from 19661970, where he was exposed to Agent Orange and the brutality of war.

Jim became a father of five seemingly overnight, and with enthusiasm, he took on the father’s role with true commitment.

Jim was an involved, protective, strict, and a very proud dad.

Jim retired from Chevron after 36 years of service and lived in the home he built on Whisper Lake. He proudly served as a Planning Commissioner for the Kenai Peninsula Borough for ten years. Jim was adventurous, strong-minded and determined, with a big splash of rebellion. He enjoyed working the land, hunting, nature, good food, and good company. Jim made every effort to know people and their cultures. He had many great friends — each shared something different with him, whether it was faith, fishing and hunting trips, business ventures, political views, or simply a delightful (or not-so-delightful) conversation over a meal.

Jim had seen every episode of the original Star Trek series.

He had a great love of animals; he had a special place in his heart for his canine family including Nacho, Chica, Jordan, Upland Street in Kenai.

Bonnie Letitia Carter Bonnie Letitia Carter of Soldotna, AK, age 75, died at home in Soldotna on Monday, August 20, 2018 surrounded by family, friends and her faithful rescue dog, Ricky.

She was born to Harold Lloyd and Gladys Ellen Owen Whitson on April 20, 1943 in Everett, WA. She was the eldest of five children. Harold Wayne Carter Sr. and Bonnie were married in Tonasket, WA on June 20, 1961. The family moved to Ketchikan, AK in 1969 and settled in Kenai, AK in 1975 where they raised their four children Wayne, Meg, Cathy and Shane.

Bonnie always had an open door policy. Whether you were human or critter, you were always welcome into their home. An applicable family motto would be “The more, the merrier.” At times, the number of family and friends nestled into their home looked like a cord of wood. The home never lacked animal companionship. For family stopping in, it wasn’t uncommon to see a new family pet. Not only would they be helping anyone they opened their door for, she was known for helping complete strangers and hitchhikers. We think she would see them and figure, “Well, they look like they could use help, why not?”

She always had an unwavering passion for her family, friends, learning, nature and art — especially painting.

The family will be holding a graveside service at 1 p.m.

Monday, Aug. 27, 2018 at Spruce Grove Memorial Park Kasilof, AK at Mile 3 K-Beach Road. Following the service, a celebration of life will be held at their home at 50805 Sterling Hwy, Soldotna, AK. Bonnie will be smiling from above knowing that her open door policy is still in affect having her friends and family together under one roof. For more information regarding arrangements, please contact Cathy Carter at (907) 3601848 or Meg Carter at (907) 252-6640.

She is survived by her husband Harold Wayne Carter; her brother Kerry Wright; her four children Wayne Carter and his wife Lynne, Meg Carter, Cathy Carter and Shane Carter and his wife Lisa; her grandchildren Sasha (Jordan Graham), Keith (Sarah Porter), Steven Carter, Abbie Carter, Brooke Badura, Chance Badura, Korbin Carter and Kalvin Carter. Her greatgrandchildren Myla Graham, Adalyn Graham and Kian Porter.

Interested individuals with questions can call 262-0318.

What Others Say

Changing coal rules a great leap backward for environment The Trump administration is committed

to saving coal, when what it really needs to do is save the planet.

On Tuesday, the Environmental Protection Agency took another great leap backward, proposing new rules that are supposed to control heat-trapping greenhouse gas pollution but are really aimed at furthering the production and burning of coal.

Power plants generate more than a quarter of the 6 billion tons of carbon dioxide America pumps into the atmosphere each year. And this summer, scorching California wildfires from tinder-dry conditions, along with record-breaking heat waves and flooding around the world, have been vivid testament to the extreme weather that global warming makes more likely.

With the new rules proposed Tuesday, EPA would junk the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, which aimed to cut power sector emissions 30% from 2005 levels by 2030, giving states flexibility to meet mandatory goals.

A better idea would be a market-based carbon tax, with revenue rebated to consumers. But the Clean Power Plan was a next-best alternative.

The Trump plan would allow each state to choose how, or even whether, to set standards for coal-fired power plants. Pollution control upgrades would be reduced.

Efficient coal burning would be encouraged, a move that could boost coal consumption, generating even more pollution. In addition to more carbon dioxide emissions, increases in microscopic airborne particulates could cause as many as 1,400 premature deaths each year.

The Trump administration claims its plan would cut greenhouse gas emissions by 33 to 34 percent below 2005 levels. But critics say that assumption merely piggybacks onto reductions — of as much as 28% — already attained by a power sector racing to embrace cheaper, cleaner natural gas and renewable sources such as wind and solar power. The true benefit of Trump’s plan? A mere couple of percentage points of reduction, if that.

All this is to save a fuel source already in decline.

Meanwhile, America’s fight to prevent the globe from overheating catastrophically is turning into a capitulation.

Besides trashing the Clean Power Plan, the president is pulling the United States out of a Paris climate accord that nearly 200 other nations signed, and he intends to roll back vehicle-efficiency standards aimed at reducing tailpipe emissions, the greatest domestic source of greenhouse gases.

The new power plant rules and vehicle-efficiency rollbacks will likely be tied up in court challenges for years. That might stall Trump’s great leap backward in the fight against climate change. But the nation needs to move forward, aggressively, in what is becoming an existential struggle.

The doctor is (not) in If you are frustrated by wait times to see your doctor, the cost of health insurance and prescription drugs, just wait until there may be no doctor to see.

NBC News recently broadcast a story about how fewer young people are entering the medical profession. The network cited a report from the Association of American Medical Colleges that “projected a shortage of 42,600 to 121,300 physicians by 2030, up from its 2017 projected shortage of 40,800 to 104,900 doctors.”

Only part of it has to do with the high cost of medical school and lengthy residencies. I asked my longtime family physician, Dr. John Curry, now retired, for his opinion. Dr. Curry holds MD and Ph.D. degrees, but quit medicine for reasons he explained to me in an email.

“The explanation for the exodus is very simple: Over the 40 years I had my medical office, that which is described as ‘the Practice of Medicine’ underwent a profound and ‘fundamental change’: In 1974, ‘Medicine’ was a transaction between patients (who needed diagnosis, treatment, and/or prevention) and physicians (who belonged to an exclusive class of professionals who worked under the demanding — and almost religious — mores of the Hippocratic Oath). Although we had the inevitable sprinkling of charlatans, exploiters and drunks, the typical physician put the patient’s interests ahead of his own; everyone who needed care received it; and in dealing with the poor, ‘fees’ could be em-

barrassingly small.

“In 2018, ‘Medicine’ is a nationwide system of financial obfuscation, in which the ruling denizens are huge corporate entities that control scores of hospitals, or health insurance Cal Thomas for millions of ‘subscribers,’ or pharmaceutical benefits, or psychiatric benefits, or physical therapy, or a hundred other niche ‘benefits’ for millions of people, who are paying exorbitant ‘premiums’ to support thousands of ‘vendors’, and have no idea what they are paying for.

“And this entire ‘system’ is run by an endless network of interconnected computer programs, which are continually being ‘upgraded’, or swapped out for newer, more complex systems that always promise (but never deliver) ‘better medical care.’ And, needless to say, NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHAT ANYTHING COSTS! [Clearly it costs A LOT, because a few new billionaires are generated every year.]

“Meanwhile, the interests of patients (which used to be the main driver of medical care) have been replaced by concern for the bottom line. And physicians, who used to be the substance of medical care, now find themselves no more than compliant (and replaceable) cogs in the machinery. [‘Get me two more instrument sterilizers,

another MRI, 12 ward nurses, two ENTs and another hospitalist!’]

“Becoming a physician no longer has the appeal of joining a profession in which one can expect to do a lot of good in the world, advance scientific knowledge, have a lifestyle that balances work and family and earn a better-than-average living. If those are your aims, you would do better to become a funeral director.”

I’d add one other element: the over-involvement of government in medical care, when it should be doing more to promote good health, including a “to the moon” program to cure diseases such as Alzheimer’s and cancer. If it did, there would be less need for care because fewer people would get sick.

Dr. Curry says one of the major battles he fought was with government bureaucrats who often second-guessed him on his charges for a growing list of Medicare patients. The government wanted him to charge less in many cases, but he still had to pay high rates for office rental and malpractice insurance, thanks to lawyers who often sued doctors and won excessively high judgments from sympathetic jurors.

The problems inherent in the American medical industry are well-known, but solutions are rarely applied, thanks to lobbyists and the politicians they support with their campaign dollars. It’s enough to make a person sick.

The dangers of claustrophobia It probably feels to President Donald Trump like the noose is starting to tighten.

That’s not a fake noose. Although metaphorical, it’s also very real. That had become apparent with one of those TV news “split screen” days, when major story developments break at the same time.

The screens were frantically splitting after Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen became felons at around 4:00 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday — Manafort with his guilty verdict near Washington and Cohen’s copped plea in New York. Wherever you looked on the cable news telly, you’d see the split screen, the two of them and Donald Trump in the middle. If you used your imagination, you could watch the walls of the Trump box slowly closing in on him.

It was not hard to imagine that he was being squeezed by various investigations, the ones that he squeals are “witch hunts” run by “thugs” like Robert Mueller.

The “witch hunt” seems to have scored two direct hits in the Trump coven, a “double, double, toil and trouble” combination if there ever was one. And let’s face it, his political opponents, whether they say so or not, would dearly love for this to be the beginning of the end of this mob and its don named Donald. However, the leaders of organized crime syndicates, which some adversaries consider the administration to be, are notoriously difficult to hold accountable. Trump the politician, like Trump the businessman, has always been exceedingly slippery.

He has survived so many seemingly fatal blows, and even thrived. As a candidate, his objectionable conduct and the disgusting nastiness of his running commentary would have done in normal politi- Bob Franken cians. But for a variety of reasons, every repulsive act seemed to further attract millions of Americans, and continues to. He had grown wildly rich in the past, in spite of his making one mistake after another, one egregious ethical lapse after another, which is amazing because his field has almost no code of ethics. Still, his operations were notable for violating the flimsy honor among thieves.

As for the future, it will take more than a litany of proven crimes to do him in. Even evidence campaign law violations won’t cut it. It’s conceivable that being caught with his hand in the Russian cookie jar wouldn’t be enough. Even if it was shown without question that he had stolen the 2016 election, conspiring with Vladimir Putin to do so, it would not be sufficient to get Congress to depose him.

For starters, political courage is a classic oxymoron, certainly in this day and age. Rudy Giuliani is right: “Truth isn’t truth,” or at least objective truth doesn’t matter anymore. It’s all about emotion in

our divided society — hateful emotions and, most of all, anger.

If, somehow, the members of the House and Senate actually would remove Donald Trump from office, there are many thoughtful people who believe that would ignite a violent reaction from his avid supporters, many of whom are heavily armed.

At the very least, Trump predicted: “If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor.” He made those comments on Fox News. Where else? Is it possible the markets might spike upward? Just asking.

Whatever, the investigations grind on.

Even David Pecker is cooperating. Pecker is Donald Trump’s longtime bosom buddy who, as National Enquirer publisher and CEO, allegedly would bury uncomfortable stories against Trump. Now he has been forced to play ball with Mueller and testify under immunity. Even more menacing, investigators have gotten testimony from Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer for the Trump organization who for decades has been Donald Trump’s business and personal accountant.

The big danger to him is that his extended family members have no choice but to violate their omerta blood oath.

He obviously is feeling the squeeze. As he’s cornered in the split screens, will he continue to lash out? Even this leader of a gang that couldn’t shoot straight has the power to do great harm to our nation if he’s enraged.

Nation Senator John McCain dies at 81

7 arrested in protest over torn-down Confederate statue

By NANCY BENAC Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain, who faced down his captors in a Vietnam prisoner of war camp with jut-jawed defiance and later turned his rebellious streak into a 35-year political career that took him to Congress and the Republican presidential nomination, died Saturday after battling brain cancer for more than a year. He was 81.

McCain, with his irascible grin and fighter-pilot moxie, was a fearless and outspoken voice on policy and politics to the end, unswerving in his defense of democratic values and unflinching in his criticism of his fellow Republican, President Donald Trump. He was elected to the Senate from Arizona six times but twice thwarted in seeking the presidency.

An upstart presidential bid in 2000 didn’t last long. Eight years later, he fought back from the brink of defeat to win the GOP nomination, only to be overpowered by Democrat Barack Obama. McCain chose a little-known Alaska governor as his running mate in that race, and turned Sarah Palin into a national political figure.

After losing to Obama in an electoral landslide, McCain returned to the Senate determined not to be defined by a failed presidential campaign in which his reputation as a maverick had faded. In the politics of the moment and in national political debate over the decades, McCain energetically advanced his ideas and punched back hard at critics — Trump not least among them.

The scion of a decorated military family, McCain embraced his role as chairman of the Armed Services Committee, pushing for aggressive U.S. military intervention overseas and eager to contribute to “defeating the forces of radical Islam that want to destroy America.”

Asked how he wanted to be remembered, McCain said simply: “That I made a major contribution to the defense of the nation.”

One dramatic vote he cast in the twilight of his career in 2017 will not soon be forgotten, either: As the decisive “no” on Senate GOP legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act, McCain became the unlikely savior of Obama’s trademark legislative achievement.

Taking a long look back in his valedictory memoir, “The Restless Wave,” McCain wrote of the world he inhabited: “I hate to leave it. But I don’t

have a complaint. Not one. It’s been quite a ride. I’ve known great passions, seen amazing wonders, fought in a war, and helped make a peace. … I made a small place for myself in the story of America and the history of my times.”

Throughout his long tenure in Congress, McCain played his role with trademark verve, at one hearing dismissing a protester by calling out, “Get out of here, you low-life scum.”

But it was just as notable when he held his sharp tongue, in service of a party or political gain.

Most remarkably, he stuck

by Trump as the party’s 2016 presidential nominee even when Trump questioned his status as a war hero by saying: “I like people who weren’t captured.” McCain declared the comment offensive to veterans, but urged the men “put it behind us and move forward.”

His breaking point with Trump was the release a month before the election of a lewd audio in which Trump said he could kiss and grab women.

McCain withdrew his support and said he’d write in “some good conservative Republican who’s qualified to be president.”

By the time McCain cast his vote against the GOP health bill, six months into Trump’s presidency, the two men were openly at odds. Trump railed against McCain publicly over the vote, and McCain remarked that he no longer listened to what Trump had to say because “there’s no point in it.”

By then, McCain had disclosed his brain cancer diagnosis and returned to Arizona to seek treatment. His vote to kill the GOP’s years-long Obamacare repeal drive — an issue McCain himself had campaigned on — came not long after the diagnosis, a surprising capstone to his legislative career.

In his final months, McCain did not go quietly, frequently jabbing at Trump and his policies from the remove of his Hidden Valley family retreat in Arizona. He opposed the president’s nominee for CIA director because of her past role in overseeing torture, scolded Trump for alienating U.S. allies at an international summit, labeled the administration’s zerotolerance immigration policy “an affront to the decency of the American people” and denounced the Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki as a “tragic mistake” in which the president put on “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory.”

On Aug. 13, Trump signed into law a $716 billion defense policy bill named in honor of the senator. Trump signed the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act in a ceremony at a military base in New York — without one mention of McCain.

John Sidney McCain III was born in 1936 in the Panana Canal zone, where his father was stationed in the military.

He followed his father and grandfather, the Navy’s first father-and-son set of four-star ad-

mirals, to the Naval Academy, where he enrolled in what he described a “four-year course of insubordination and rebellion.” His family yawned at the performance. A predilection for what McCain described as “quick tempers, adventurous spirits, and love for the country’s uniform” was encoded in his family DNA. On October 1967, McCain was on his 23rd bombing round over North Vietnam when he was shot out of the sky and taken prisoner.

Year upon year of solitary confinement, deprivation, beatings and other acts of torture left McCain so despairing that at one point he weakly attempted suicide. But he also later wrote that his captors had spared him the worst of the abuse inflicted on POWs because his father was a famous admiral. “I knew that my father’s identity was directly related to my survival,” he wrote in one of his books.

When McCain’s Vietnamese captors offered him early release as a propaganda ploy, McCain refused to play along, insisting that those captured first should be the first set free.

In his darkest hour in Vietnam, McCain’s will had been broken and he signed a confession that said, “I am a black criminal and I have performed deeds of an air pirate.”

Even then, though, McCain refused to make an audio recording of his confession and used stilted written language to signal he had signed it under duress. And, to the end of his captivity, he continued to

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Seven people were arrested Saturday at a rally calling for a century-old Confederate statue at the University of North Carolina to be returned after it was yanked down five days ago.

About a dozen people carrying Confederate flags were met by dozens of protesters that don’t want the memorial known as “Silent Sam” to return to the campus in Chapel Hill.

Television footage and videos posted to social media showed several punches thrown and at least one man handcuffed after he tried to burn a Confederate flag taken from another man’s hands.

None of the seven people arrested was affiliated with the school, Chancellor Carol Folt said.

Three were charged with assault, two were charged with assault, destruction of property and inciting a riot; one was charged with destruction of property and one was charged with resisting an officer, the university said in a statement.

Officials did not release their names or say if they were protesting for or against the statue.

“Silent Sam,” erected in 1913, was torn down Monday during a protest. It’s now in temporary storage.

Folt said there have been at least 35 demonstrations about the statue in the past several years, and while she would prefer a safer, more secure location than a main campus quad, the university hasn’t decided what to do with the monument.

Police surrounded its empty pedestal with barricades Saturday.

Whale killed by ship will become feast for Washington’s Makah Indian tribe SEKIU, Wash. — A 31-foot humpback whale struck and killed by a ship is being turned into a feast by the Makah Indian Tribe.

The tiny tribe with a reservation on the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state has been butchering the whale that was pulled ashore Thursday.

“It is sacred,” Nathan Tyler, chairman of the Makah Indian Tribe, told The Seattle Times.

“We have deep regrets about the whale being struck by a ship and dying, but it will live on, through our culture.”

The arrival of the whale came a day before the tribe’s annual community feast and festival called Makah Days. The whale will feed the whole village.

Tribal fisherman discovered the whale Thursday in the Strait of Juan de Fuca near Sekiu. A tribal biologist reported the find to the federal stranding network, which sent a biologist.

The fisherman and tribal biologist towed the whale to the beach at Neah Bay, where a necropsy was performed to determine the cause of death. Officials say the whale had a broken jaw and fractured skull from colliding with a ship.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spokesman Michael Milstein said the juvenile male humpback was likely feeding when it was struck and killed.

exasperate his captors with his defiance.

Throughout, McCain played to the bleachers, shouting obscenities at guards to bolster the spirits of fellow captives.

Appointed by the POWs to act as camp entertainment officer, chaplain and communications chief, McCain imparted comic relief, literary tutorials, news of the day, even religious sustenance.

Bud Day, a former cellmate and Medal of Honor winner, said McCain’s POW experi-

ence “took some great iron and turned him into steel.”

McCain returned home from his years as a POW on crutches and never regained full mobility in his arms and leg.

He once said he’d “never known a prisoner of war who felt he could fully explain the experience to anyone who had not shared it.” Still he described the time as formative and “a bit of a turning point in me appreciating the value of serving a cause greater than your selfinterest.”

Hawaii emerges from threat as storm veers away from Pacific islands

By AUDREY McAVOY and CALEB JONES Associated Press

HONOLULU — Hawaii emerged Saturday from the threat of a potentially devastating hurricane after historic amounts of rain forced evacuations on some islands but damage appeared less than feared.

Tropical Storm Lane, once known as Hurricane Lane, began to break apart as it veered west into the open Pacific, leaving behind sighs of relief and plenty of cleanup, especially on the Big Island where rainfall totals approached 4 feet (1.2 meters).

No storm-related deaths have been reported, though Big Island authorities said they plucked families from floodwaters and landslides closed roads.

The National Weather Service canceled all storm warnings for the state, several hours after shopkeepers in Honolulu’s tourist-heavy areas already started taking down plywood meant to protect windows if the storm made it that far.

Preliminary figures from the weather service show that Lane dropped the fourth-highest amount of rain for a hurricane to hit the United States since 1950. Hurricane Harvey, which devastated Texas a year ago, topped the list.

The storm’s outer bands dumped as much as 45 inches (114 centimeters) on the mostly rural Big Island, measurements showed. The main town of Hilo, population 43,000, was flooded Friday with waisthigh water.

Authorities rescued 39 people from floodwaters Friday and Saturday, all in the eastern part of the Big Island where the rain concentrated, Hawaii County Civil Defense spokeswoman Kelly Wooten said.

Teams were assessing damage, she said, but continued to focus on recovery efforts because it was still raining.

Big Island Book Buyers in Hilo opened as normal Saturday morning after owner Mary Bicknell saw a bit of sunshine and blue sky.

“Everybody is in pretty good spirits. It’s kind of nice,” she said of her customers before adding everyone was “hoping and praying it’s over.”

One of the island’s volcanoes is erupting, and the rain could still cause whiteout conditions on some active lava fields when it hits the molten rock and boils off as steam.

About 200 miles (320 kilometers) and several islands to the northwest, tourists wandered Waikiki Beach and took leisurely swims as shopkeepers prepared to reopen.

Hotels began putting deck chairs back alongside pools.

Dozens of surfers were in the Pacific, looking to ride small waves. The breeze was light.

Winds were also calmer on Maui, which had seen about 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain and wind gusts up to 50 mph (80 kph). On Saturday, winds were about 11 mph (18 kph).

Like the Big Island, Maui experienced flooding and landslides.

Lane first approached the islands earlier this week as a Category 5 hurricane, meaning it was likely to cause catastrophic damage with winds of 157 mph (252 kph) or above.

But upper-level winds known as shear swiftly tore the storm apart.

As flooding hit the Big Island, winds fanned brush fires that had broken out in dry areas of Maui and Oahu. Some residents in a shelter on Maui had to flee flames, and another fire forced people from their homes.

Flames burned nine homes in the historic coastal town of Lahaina and forced 600 people to evacuate, Maui County spokeswoman Lynn Araki-Regan said. Some have returned, but many have not because much of the area lacks power, Araki-Regan said.

Those outages meant the water provider on Maui’s west side was unable to pump, so officials at the Maui Electric utility urged conservation —

particularly important because firefighters need supplies to put out the remaining flames.

The central Pacific gets fewer hurricanes than other regions, with only about four or five named storms a year.

Hawaii rarely gets hit. The last

major storm to hit was Iniki in 1992. Others have come close in recent years.

“It’s great that it didn’t get us,” Nick Palumbo II, who lives and owns a surf shop on the island of Lanai, said of Lane.

He worried, however, that the near-miss would give residents a false sense of security.

“We’re going to get nailed one time, and people are going to not listen,” Palumbo said, “exactly like ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf.’”

Pope in Ireland decries abuse

By NICOLE WINFIELD and MARIA GRAZIA MURRU Associated Press

DUBLIN — Pope Francis faced a lukewarm reception and scattered protests Saturday on his trip to Ireland, with even his vow to rid the church of the “scourge” of sexual abuse and his outrage at those “repugnant crimes” dismissed as a disappointment by some of Ireland’s wounded victims.

But others who met with him in private left heartened that he would respond to their plight, including two of the thousands of children who were forcibly put up for adoption for the shame of having been born to unwed mothers.

They said Francis described the corruption and cover-up in the church as “caca” — translated by the Vatican translator for the English speakers as “filth as one sees in the toilet.”

The abuse scandal — which has exploded anew in the U.S. but has convulsed Ireland since the 1990s with revelations of unfathomable violence and humiliation against women and children — took center stage on the first day of Francis’ twoday trip. The visit was originally intended to celebrate Catholic families.

Francis responded to the outcry by vowing to end sex abuse and cover-up during a speech to Irish government authorities at Dublin Castle.

“The failure of ecclesiastical authorities — bishops, religious superiors, priests and others — to adequately address these repugnant crimes has rightly given rise to outrage, and remains a source of pain and shame for the Catholic community,” he told them. “I myself share these sentiments.”

He cited measures taken by his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, to respond to the crisis.

Neo-Nazis, counterdemonstrators rally in Swedish capital STOCKHOLM — More than 200 supporters of the neoNazi Nordic Resistance Movement have staged a rally in the Swedish capital, chanting slogans and waving the group’s green-and-white flags.

A six-hour rally was approved by Swedish police, who deployed a strong security presence around Stockholm’s Kungsholmstorg Square. But after just a few hours, the crowds wilted and a march was canceled.

Police had warned of potential disturbances across the city but no violence was seen. Local media reported that a counter-rally drew about 200 people.

The neo-Nazi group is anti-European Union, anti-gay and anti-immigration. The rally took place ahead of Sweden’s Sept. 9 general election, in which immigration is a key issue.

The neo-Nazi march was among dozens of events held across Stockholm on Saturday, including an animal rights’ march that drew 500 people.

But while Benedict is credited with cracking down on abusers, he never acknowledged the Vatican’s role in fueling a culture of cover-up or sanctioned bishops for failing to protect their flocks from predator priests.

Francis followed his promise with a 90-minute meeting with eight survivors of both clerical and institutional abuse and prayed quietly before a candle lit for victims in Dublin’s cathedral. But neither his words nor the meeting with victims is likely to assuage demands for heads to roll.

“Disappointing, nothing new,” was the reaction from Irish abuse survivor Marie Collins, a former member of Francis’ sex abuse advisory panel who quit last year in frustration.

She later took part in Francis’ meeting with seven other abuse survivors, including two priests and a public official.

Colm O’Gorman, who is leading a solidarity rally on

Sunday in Dublin for abuse victims, said Francis’ remarks about sharing the shame felt

by Catholics were an “insult to faithful Catholics, who have no reason to feel shame because of the crimes of the Vatican and the institutional church.”

The reception that Francis received in Dublin contrasted sharply with the raucous, rock star welcome that greeted St. John Paul II in 1979 in the firstever papal visit here. No one from the public was at the airport or the roads nearby when Francis arrived Saturday and the streets near a church-run homeless shelter that Francis visited were practically empty despite barricades designed to hold back crowds.

At one protest, people tossed baby shoes to remind the pope of the poor treatment the Catholic Church doled out to the children of unwed mothers.

Crowds did throng Francis’ popemobile route and gathered

outside Dublin’s cathedral, basking in the sunny weather, and a stadium was nearly full for his evening vigil to close out the church’s family rally.

And two of the Irish adoptees said they were heartened Francis said he would address their concerns at Mass on Sunday. They are asking him to publicly state that their mothers had done nothing wrong and to encourage reconciliation between all unwed mothers, many of them now aged, who were forced by society and the church to give up their children.

Paul Redmond, who was born in a home and given up for adoption at 17 days, urged the pope to publicly call on the six orders of Catholic nuns who ran the homes to accept responsibility for the traumas they caused, issue an apology, and pay for the costs of inquiries.

“The pope did apologize to all of us for what happened in the homes,” he said.

Palestinian leadership says US cut aid intended to bring end to Jerusalem claim RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ spokesman said Saturday that the U.S. decision to cut more than $200 million in aid is meant to force the Palestinians to abandon their claim to Jerusalem.

Nabil Abu Rdeneh told The Associated Press the move is part of continuing political and financial pressure on the Palestinian leadership. He said the Americans must be fully aware that there will be no peace without east Jerusalem as capital of a Palestinian state.

raged by President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and his moving of the U.S embassy there in May. The Trump administration says it’s cutting bilateral aid to the Palestinians after a review of funding for projects in the West Bank and Gaza and will redirect the money to “high priority projects elsewhere.”

The State Department notified Congress of the decision in a brief, three-paragraph notice sent first to lawmakers and then to reporters on Friday.

The move comes as Trump

and his Middle East pointmen, Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, staff up their office to prepare for the rollout of a much-vaunted but as yet unclear peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians.

One main issue the U.S. has had with support for the Palestinian Authority had been the stipends paid to the families of Palestinians killed, injured or jailed for attacks on Israel.

Israel and the Trump administration, have repeatedly demanded that those payments from a so-called “martyrs’ fund” be halted because they

encourage terrorism. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has refused to do so.

However, several former U.S. officials said that cutting back aid money to the Palestinians would only strengthen Abbas’ more radical rivals in the militant Hamas movement that rules Gaza.

“The U.S. is ceding space to Hamas in Gaza,” tweeted Dave Harden, until recently the USAID director in the Palestinian territories. “No security professional recommends an aid cut off in Gaza. None.”

Congo: 2 who received experimental Ebola treatment recover KINSHASA, Congo — Congo’s health ministry says two of the first 10 people to receive an experimental treatment for the Ebola virus in the latest outbreak have recovered, and monitoring could show what role the treatment played.

The head of the World Health Organization on Saturday congratulated Congo’s government for making several experimental treatments available in this Ebola outbreak, calling it “a global first, and a ray of hope for people with the disease.”

The two people received the mAb114 treatment isolated from a survivor of an Ebola outbreak in 1995. It was the first of five experimental treatments Congo approved for use in the outbreak that was declared on Aug. 1. The others are ZMapp, Remdesivir, Favipiravir and Regn3450 - 3471 - 3479.

WHO’s emergency preparedness chief on Friday said Ebola has spread to an area of high security risk, a “pivotal” moment that endangers the health of medical teams. Several armed groups roam Congo’s densely populated northeast, and health officials have said “red zones” where attacks occur pose a serious challenge to finding and monitoring contacts of infected people.

Congo says 79 Ebola cases have been confirmed, including 42 deaths and 14 people who have recovered. There are another 28 probable cases in which biological samples are not available for laboratory testing.

More than 3,400 people in this outbreak have received an experimental Ebola vaccine.

Ebola, a hemorrhagic fever, is spread via contact with bodily fluids of those infected, including the dead. It can be fatal in up to 90 percent of cases, depending on the strain.

This is Congo’s tenth outbreak of the virus and the first in North Kivu province, which aside from the resident population hosts an estimated 1 million people displaced by fighting.

The affected region in this outbreak, which includes Ituri province to the north, borders Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan. While WHO says the public health risk is high at the national and regional level it advises against travel restrictions.

Women in England to be allowed to take abortion pill at home LONDON — Women seeking to end early pregnancies in England soon will be allowed to take an abortion pill at home under a new government plan set to take effect by the end of the year.

Currently, women undergoing medical abortions up to the 10th week of a pregnancy must take two pills at a clinic 24 to 48 hours apart. The new plan would allow them to take the second pill at home.

Supporters said the current requirement puts women at risk of having miscarriages while they are traveling home from a clinic.

Chief Medical Officer for England Sally Davies said Saturday the move helps ensure women “receive safe and dignified care.”

As women’s roles expand in Bolivian politics, so do attacks on them

By PAOLA FLORES Associated Press

ACHOCALLA, Bolivia — Few countries in the world have advanced so quickly toward gender parity in politics as has Bolivia, where women now hold almost half the seats in congress and laws mandate gender equality at lower levels too.

But some male Bolivian politicians have resisted the change, and women’s rights activists report a sharp increase in violence against female politicians as their numbers rise.

Mary de la Cruz, a city councilwoman in a town on the outskirts of La Paz, said the town’s mayor accosted her as she walked with colleagues through a plaza in Achocalla and punched her in the face, knocking her to the ground. She said he was apparently angry she had complained of irregularities in public works contracts.

De la Cruz filed a complaint, but so far authorities have taken no action against Mayor Damaso Ninaja, who has denied punching the councilwoman, saying she merely fell.

“It hasn’t been easy for me to get where I am,” said de la Cruz, who complained the mayor also had been spreading false rumors

about her sex life. “And the man thinks that we are inferior creatures, that a punch isn’t anything, that’s its normal.”

Bolivia began addressing gender imbalance in politics in 1997 with a law that at least 30 percent of candidates for many races be women. The Andean nation subsequently refined the laws to guarantee parity.

A decade ago, women held only 4 percent of posts in municipal assemblies. By 2015, they held 50 percent — a group that included De la Cruz, 38.

But women’s rising profile “has also led to problems related to discrimination, manipulation and violence,” a report by UN Women said.

Prosecutors say they have received 36 complaints of harassment and political violence against women so far this year. But electoral officials say they’ve received 60 such complaints — six times the number last year. And the Councilwomen’s Association of Bolivia says it has registered 90 complaints.

Some women say they wound up dropping their complaints when a male-dominated legal system showed little interest. On the other hand, some courts have shown remarkable zeal in prosecuting women.

In this June 23, 2018 photo, Councilwoman Mary de la Cruz speaks during an interview, in Achocalla, Bolivia. De la Cruz says the mayor of Achocalla, Damaso Ninaja, hit her after she pointed out irregularities in his handling of public work contracts. She says that he reeked of alcohol when he knocked her to the ground. Before the attack, she says Ninaja had been spreading false rumors that she was unfaithful to her partner.

Monica Paye, was arrested and suspended from her position as councilwoman in the La Pazarea municipality of Callapa in May when officials accused her of losing two city-owned laptop computers, even though she offered to replace them. Paye, 34, who has remained under house arrest, had feuded with the mayor over public works contrasts in the town.

Awareness of violence against female politicians in Bo-

livia was raised by the 2012 killing of Ancoirames town councilwoman Juana Quispe, whose body was found with signs of violence on the banks of a river in La Paz. Quispe’s family accused then-Mayor Felix Huanca and three councilmen, whom they accused of persecuting Quispe for nearly two years because of her allegations of corruption.

Relatives said Quispe had been threatened in efforts to force her

from her job and at one time was beaten and dragged through a town square.

Quispe’s death led to passage of a law against harassment and violence against women in public office, a law that has been held up as a model for other nations, said Carolina Taborga, UN Women representative in Bolivia. Perpetrators can be punished with up to five years in prison.

But Quispe’s killing remains unsolved even as attacks on female politicians have increased.

“The law is very nice, but it’s not working,” said De la Cruz, who is also the mother of three children and a potato and lettuce farmer. “We’re still suffering harassment and violence.”

Paye said the pressure is especially strong against women in the countryside. She said pressures include false allegations of infidelity and withholding of salaries, as well as physical violence.

In some elections, candidates are required to have a running mate or alternate of the opposite sex. If a woman wins, sometimes her male alternate will seek to oust her to take power.

Sometimes women come under attack even from a male politician’s family or friends.

Escoma town Councilwoman Marcela Mamani Huanca had accused the mayor of corruption shortly before he died in a car crash. His family blamed her for the death.

“Right after the mayor’s wake, his sister and brother dragged me by the hair in the town square in front of my children,” said Huanca, a 35-yearold butcher.

Gender-based political violence is seen throughout Latin America, particularly in Mexico, where 19 female candidates were killed and 118 were attacked ahead of the July elections. Brazilians were shocked at this year’s murder of Rio de Janeiro councilwoman Marielle Franco, who was known for outspokenness against police violence. And in Peru, electoral authorities estimate that four of every 10 female candidates are victims of political harassment and if elected, two out every five women suffer political violence.

“Men think that women take on political positions to take away their jobs,” said UN Women’s Taborga. “This only expresses the male-chauvinistic and patriarchal mentality that persists in the organizations that that these men represent.”

Credit freezes: Time to rethink your protection?

If your employer offers a 401(k) and you are taking advantage of this benefit, pat yourself on the back. But you can’t stop there; you have to look at what’s going on within your 401(k), too. Unfortunately, making the right investment choices can be daunting, especially with a specialized account such as a 401(k). That said, here’s an easy win: you don’t want to buy municipal bond funds in your 401(k).

Most investments will work well within a 401(k), except for those with tax advantages built into them. For example, a municipal bond fund such as the Fidelity Tax-Free Bond Fund, which buys bonds issued by local governments from all across the nation, would be a bad option for your 401(k).

The cash generated by selling muni bonds helps fund local governments and large municipal investment projects. To incentivize investors to put their money into these bonds, which often have lower yields than taxable bonds, the government provides a tax

The days of paying to protect your credit files are coming to an end.

Credit freezes and unfreezes with the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion — will be free for everyone by federal law starting Sept. 21. Fraud alerts, which always have been free, will be extended from 90 days to a year. Credit locks will continue to be free at two bureaus and offered as part of bundled services at a third.

How will these changes affect which you should pick? Consumer advocates continue to recommend freezes, and not having to pay to freeze or thaw credit makes the case even more compelling. But some people may prefer locks for the convenience.

At the very least, everyone should set up fraud alerts, which require businesses to take reasonable steps to ensure that a person applying for credit in your name is actually you.

Credit freezes offer the strongest protection against an unauthorized person opening an account or getting credit in your name. Credit locks, which the bureaus voluntarily offer, do much the same thing: They make your credit records off-limits to potential lenders and credit card issuers.

Credit freezes are: ❚ Mandated by federal law to be made available. ❚ Free from each credit bureau, without special conditions. ❚ Placed and lifted online or by phone, requiring a PIN to change status (taking minutes). ❚ Potentially time-consuming – if

you lose your PIN, you may have to request a new one via U.S. mail.

Credit locks are: ❚ Offered voluntarily by each credit bureau. ❚ Free from Equifax; offered free with an agreement to receive marketing emails from TransUnion; and offered for a fee as part of a monthly monitoring service by Experian. ❚ Placed and lifted with an app. ❚ Relatively quick and easy to regain access to if you forget a password.

What the experts choose So which is better? Chi Chi Wu, staff attorney for the National Consumer Law Center, says it’s the freeze, hands-down.

“A freeze is something that is now mandated by federal law,” she says, “whereas the lock is a voluntary feature, and so if something goes wrong ... there’s really not much recourse, except for maybe contract law.”

Her credit reports are frozen.

But credit expert John Ulzheimer made a split decision. At Equifax, “the practical difference between a lock and a freeze is negligible in my eyes,” he says. He chose the lock because it’s more convenient.

He froze his accounts at the other two bureaus because he was unwilling to pay for a lock or to accept marketing emails in exchange for a free lock.

Both say no one should be without at least a fraud alert.

“There’s really nothing wrong with obligating a bank to at least call you and say, ‘Hey John, are you really the one who is standing in front of a finance manager at a car dealership trying to get an auto loan right now?’ I think that’s just smart credit management,” Ulzheimer said.

incentive. The income generated by muni bonds avoids taxation at the federal, and often state, level. If you put Fidelity Tax-Free Bond Fund into a 401(k) (or a traditional IRA), you would take tax-advantaged income and turn it into taxable income when you pull it out in retirement.

And that’s a big deal. Fidelity TaxFree Bond Fund’s SEC yield is 2.6 percent. But the tax-equivalent yield is roughly 4 percent, assuming you are in the 35 percent tax bracket. A taxequivalent yield is essentially the yield you would have to earn on a taxable bond to match the income you generate from a municipal bond. The difference between 2.6 and 4 percent is a big one, and you would effectively throw that benefit away if you put Fidelity Tax-Free Bond Fund into a 401(k) or traditional IRA. Vanguard Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund has an SEC yield of 2.77 percent.

The tax-equivalent yield to match that is 4.26 percent. That’s looking at the highest tax bracket, and the yield difference drops as tax rates go down.

You get the idea. If you put a tax-advantaged investment product such as a municipal bond fund into a 401(k), you will effectively destroy the tax advantage and turn any income you generate from the fund into fully taxable income. That’s a big mistake.

I’m in the high-mileage mafia, and proud Keep an old car running and you’ll save a fortune Pete the Planner Peter Dunn USA TODAY

We’re 400 miles away from the odometer hitting 200,000 miles on one of our vehicles and 300 miles away from hitting 135,000 on the other. I’m ecstatic.

I’ve literally never been more excited about my relationship with transportation, other than that random time I got magically upgraded to first class on an eight-hour flight. People all around me have newer cars than I do, but I simply don’t care.

I took to Twitter last week and found some like-minded folks who are also members of the high-mileage mafia.

Two hundred thousand, 300,000 – there were even a few 400,000-mile warriors. They took pride and carried on as though they were privy to a wealth management secret others had missed.

Frankly, that’s exactly what they did.

My perspective on transportation is not unique. In fact, I adopted my current view after reading Thomas Stanley’s 1996 classic “The Millionaire Next Door.”

In a nutshell, my perspective is: Drive your car into the ground, but take really good care of it along the way.

Advertisements constantly tell us our cars aren’t good enough, but you know what? They actually are. They really are. Our culture’s appreciation for what is new and shiny isn’t limited to automobiles. We tend to collectively think a person is more successful, more appealing, and, oddly, more intelligent if they have newer, high-quality possessions.

Every time I see a person driving a 10year-old car, I think, “the person inside that tin can gets it.”

According to Experian, the average new-car payment in 2018 is $523 a month, and the average car loan lasts nearly 70 months. No, thank you.

And as a person who digs through people’s finances for a living, know that

It’s cheaper to maintain an older car than to finance a new one. GETTY IMAGES

many households have two of those payments. I can’t get my head around it.

I like to see a household limit its transportation expenses to 15 percent of take-home pay. Even better, your goal should be to spend as little of that 15 percent as possible.

You already know a car is a depreciating asset. Theoretically, the vehicle will eventually hold no monetary value. But don’t mistake a lack of monetary value for a lack of value altogether. This is why a 15-year-old, high-mileage car is the preferable reality for millions of people.

It provides an extremely low transportation budget commitment, which then allows a person to allocate income toward other financial priorities.

Absent regular maintenance (tires, brakes, and oil changes), which newer

cars need, too, do you know how much a well-maintained, high-mileage car owner will spend on transportation over 70 months? Maybe a few thousand dollars (fingers crossed). Compare that to the $36,610 spent by a person who finances a new car over the same time frame.

If transportation is a necessary evil, then managing it as inexpensively as possible would seem prudent. I know this same logic could apply to clothing, food and shelter. And I admit I don’t maintain the same perspective for these items. But transportation typically is the third-largest expense for American households (behind housing and health care). It doesn’t have to be.

Imagine the possibilities if you eliminate your third-largest monthly ex-

pense. You can pay back your student loans, save for retirement, save for your kids’ education and/or navigate the other treacherous waters of your financial life.

I get it. At times I want a newer car, too. But not as bad as I want to fund my other financial priorities. Does my wife want a newer model? I have no idea. But I’m already paid for, I’m well-maintained, and relatively soon I’ll be considered vintage, which is kinda cool.

Put jack back and boost battery, iPhone fans say Users less interested in more power, survey finds Talking Tech Jefferson Graham USA TODAY

BALBOA ISLAND, Calif. – Every year, shortly after Labor Day, Apple execs stand before the world to show off new iPhones and tout new features they hope will entice folks into ditching their older models and springing for new ones.

Most of the time, the chatter is focused on power – more of it, with a faster response time and a sleeker, thinner body. But if you ask consumers what’s on their wish list, those features don’t tend to make the conversation.

We talked to iPhone owners recently, on the streets here and in our Facebook and Twitter community. Power and size never made the cut. Longer battery life and an unbreakable screen were the two most common themes, hands down.

Crystal Rose, who runs the Crystal Rose Island Therapy shop here, says she wants to see more storage on the next iPhone “so I have no fear of losing photos.”

In recent years, entry-level phones from Apple came with 16 GB of storage, which is barely enough to fit the operating system, a handful of apps, and some photos and videos. In 2017, Apple upped the entry level to 32 GB, but that’s still small, as photo and video size continues to get bigger every year.

Many consumers, like Danielle Heslatt of Indiana, have asked for “expandable storage” on new iPhones, similar to how Samsung does it with its premium Galaxy line. These phones have slots to plug in a microSD card, to effectively double or triple the phone’s storage, depending on the size of the card. Consumers have been asking Apple for this for years, but the company has yet to integrate it.

Battery life is a big issue for Michelle

Rasmussen, who lives near Salt Lake City. She’d like to see a battery that “would last a week,” she says. She adds that she’d be more than happy to get “a full day” from a charge.

Other hot-button issues include the removal of the headphone jack in 2015.

Consumers want it back – it’s unlikely to return – or at the very least, for Apple users to be able to listen to music on wired headphones and charge the phone at the same time through the Lightning port.

“Can we rethink the shared charger and earbud port please,” asks LeeAnn Marie of Orlando, Florida, on Twitter.

“Puts a real damper on my work day when I have to decide between music and a dead phone.”

Chris Raney of Irvine, California, hopes for solar charging. “Just put the phone into the sun and get some juice,” he says.

At the beginning of the year, Apple admitted what many consumers always feared – that software updates for iPhones intentionally slowed them down. Apple said it was so that the newer phones could keep up with declining batteries. But to many consumers, that was code for “planned obsolescence,” and pushing them to buy new phones every two years.

“I want a new phone that runs well five-plus years from release,” Sean Rogan of North Carolina said on Facebook. “It is ridiculous than a $1,000 phone is designed to be a brick in 36 months.”

After the outcry about “Batterygate,” Apple apologized and made new replacement batteries available to consumers at a discount.

Apple is expected to introduce three new editions of the iPhone shortly after Labor Day. Stick with USA TODAY for the latest Apple updates.

3 financial strategies that could come back to hurt you Maurie Backman The Motley Fool

There are certain financial lessons we all tend to learn, such as the importance of saving money and staying out of debt. But sometimes, the best advice can lead us astray. The following money moves might seem wise at first but wind up hurting you financially. ❚ Buying a home: Buying a home might seem like a much smarter move than throwing money away on rent – at least at first. After all, as a homeowner, you get access to certain tax breaks that renters don’t, and you get an opportunity to build equity in your property over time. But if you’re buying a home because you think it makes for a good investment, that’s really a dangerous approach.

If you save enough for a 20 percent down payment, take on a reasonablesized mortgage given your income level and amass a solid level of emergency savings prior to taking the leap, then homeownership could end up working out quite nicely for you. But if you stretch your budget to an uncomfortable degree and go in without much in the way of backup savings, you’re likely to encounter a scenario where a maintenance item or repair drives you into debt, thereby wrecking your credit and causing you to throw away more money than necessary.

❚ Attempting to time the stock market: You may have been told that it’s important to get your timing just right when putting money into stocks. After all, you want to make sure you’re buying low, selling high and maximizing your returns.

The problem is that even seasoned investors struggle to time the market, and numerous studies have shown that this approach to investing just doesn’t work. A much better one is to identify great companies, buy shares of their stock at regular intervals and hold them for as many years as possible, all the while ignoring what the market does in between. It’s a concept known as dollarcost averaging, and while it obviously won’t guarantee success, it has been proven to work for investors over time. ❚ Keeping all of your money in cash because it’s safe: You’ve probably heard that it’s wise to have a healthy level of cash in the bank for emergencies – but that doesn’t mean you should house all of your money in a savings account.

Though locking your cash reserves away in the bank is a good way to ensure that you don’t lose out on any principal you accumulate, it’s also a good way to stunt your savings’ growth. A better bet, therefore, is to keep up to six months’ worth of living expenses in a savings account so that it’s accessible when you need it in a pinch, but invest the rest of your savings to fuel its growth.

Moose trample Kards

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Palmer football team went for it on fourth down three times in the first half and made it every time, leading to three scores.

The Kenai Central team went once and was stopped on Palmer’s 2-yard line.

That’s pretty much the tale of Palmer’s 34-6 nonconference victory over host Kenai at Ed Hollier Field on Friday.

“We just couldn’t finish,” Kenai coach Dustin Akana said after his team fell to 1-2. “On the plays and drives where it counted Kenai Central’s Titus Riddall wards off Palmer’s Morgan Freeman on Friday at Ed Hollier Field the most, we didn’t execute.”

ing drive of the game, Palmer was driving when it faced fourth-and-two on the Kenai 31 with 5 minutes, 24 seconds, left in the first quarter.

Chase Bruesch picked up fresh downs with a 4-yard run, then four plays later Ronny Marshall gave Palmer a 7-0 lead on a 2-yard run. Marshall led the Moose with 66 yards on 11 carries.

After Kenai went three and out, Palmer faced fourth-andfour from the Kenai 34 with 10:16 left in the second quarter.

Quarterback Luke Guggenmos hit Levi Farris in stride for a 34-yard scoring strike and 14-0 lead.

Bulldogs shut out Redington Trio returns from sidelines to spur Bulldogs to victory

By DANNY MARTIN DMartin@Newsminer.com

The Lathrop Malemutes saw 50 reasons why the Soldotna Stars entered this high school football season with a state-record 59game winning streak and own the seven of the last eight Division II state championships.

The host Malemutes enjoyed a 7-6 lead in the second quarter before the Stars ran away for a 50-21 win on a rainy Friday night.

Hudson Metcalf’s 3-yard burst up the middle of the field gave Soldotna a 6-0 lead with 7:42 left in the first quarter.

Eight seconds into the second quarter, Malemutes quarterback Jaden Littell responded with a 45-yard pass to Michael Zadra on a fade-slot pattern to even the score. Juan Mendez’s point-after kick made it 7-6 for Lathrop.

Soldotna, with 6:03 left in the second quarter, was buried at its 1-yard line after a 42-yard line-drive punt by Lathrop’s Deondric Henderson.

The Stars didn’t fret, however. Seven plays later, Soldotna quarterback Jersey Truesdell sprinted 73 yards into the end zone to put the visitors up 12-7 and for good.

The Stars often employ a puzzling variation of a wing-T offense. But with 2.2 seconds left in the opening half, Soldotna flashed some aerial trickery.

With third-and-five from the Stars 45-yard line, Truesdell ran forward and pitched the ball back to Galen Brantley III, who threw a 55yard pass to a leaping Metcalf, who snagged the ball and scampered into the end zone. Wyatt Medcoff’s 2-point conversion run sent Soldotna into the locker room with a 20-7 advantage on the scoreboard.

Truesdell stretched the lead to 26-7 with a 19-yard burst with 10:24 left in the third quarter.

rolling. He finished 7 of 9 for 163 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.

“My coaches did a great job on offense,” Palmer head coach Rod Christiansen said after improving to 2-1. “They knew they had two downs. We weren’t going to punt into the wind and have it go only 10 yards.”

After Kenai quarterback Connor Felchle made his lone major mistake of the day with an interception to Bruesch, Guggenmos came to the fore again.

Palmer faced fourth-andnine from the Kenai 34 with 4:49 left until the half. This time, Guggenmos hit Leif Mumma streaking down the

Two weeks of sitting on the sidelines will rev up anyone’s motor.

A fresh trio of Nikiski’s best gridiron gladiators picked up the load Friday evening at Nikiski High School as the Bulldogs grabbed a convincing 28-0 win over Redington, a nonconference opponent.

The win pushed Nikiski to 2-1 overall this year with its first Peninsula Conference matchup still to come next week against Ketchikan. Redington dropped to 0-3.

The three players that made their season debuts after eligibility checks included seniors Michael Eiter and Justin Harris, and junior Mason Payne, and all three had impacts on the game.

Eiter caught two scoring passes on three catches and Harris chipped in two touchdowns, one on a blocked kick return and another on a 38-yard run, to fuel Nikiski to the victory.

“Sitting out left me with a lot of pent up energy, I had some butterflies in the stomach,” Eiter explained. “As a football player you want to go out there and talk some smack with your guys.”

Mason Payne also joined the action as a defensive back, following two weeks of sitting out, and notched a fumble recovery.

The workhorse of the day, however, returned as junior Sam Berry, who followed up a 214yard rushing day last week against Valdez with a 101-yard day Friday against Redington. Berry See BLANK, page B4

Homer football comes up just short against Monroe

By MEGAN PACER Homer News

The football players of Monroe Catholic High School eked out a slim win over Homer High School in their nonconference bout Saturday on the Homer field.

In a match that came down to the final min-

utes, the Rams (2-1 overall) walked off victorious, besting the Mariners 28-27. While this is the third loss in a row for the young Homer team, it’s a closer score than coach Walter Love has seen so far.

The Mariners came close when junior Noah Fisk scored a touchdown with a minute and 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter to cut the lead

to one.

Love elected to go for the two-point conversion and the win, but the Rams managed to hold on to their slim lead by stopping a run by quarterback Anthony Kalugin.

Love said he went for it because he could see his players didn’t have the fight left for overtime.

“You know, I’m playing with kids that got

banged up in the last two games,” he said. “I saw … they were getting tired.”

Love said that, at the end of the day, it’s “zero or hero.”

“I could have kicked it and tied it, but these guys were banged up still,” he said. “There was no gas left for them.”

Nikiski defends Pritchard crown Soldotna nips Seward in nonconference game

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Nikiski captured its second straight Shayna Pritchard Memorial Tournament title Saturday night at Nikiski, but not before a young, energetic Kenai Central squad had something to say about it.

In a rematch of last week’s Homer Jamboree final, the Bulldogs rallied from a first-game loss to post a 2-1 victory in the best-of-three final over Kenai, winning with scores of 23-25, 25-10 and 15-3. The win came after the program’s first tournament title last year in the event’s 11-year history.

“It’s pretty special to win and hold onto it,” said Nikiski head coach Stacey Segura. “It feels like ours until someone else takes it.”

The tournament is held in honor of Pritchard, a 2007 Nikiski graduate who was killed in a car crash in Colorado in June 2007.

To put a special end to the eve-

ning, Pritchard’s 29-year-old twin sister, Sherra, was on hand to present the award and winning trophies to the teams.

“She did it last year, and it’s just an honor to have her,” Segura said.

Kenai sophomore Bethany Morris earned tournament MVP honors, and junior Chelsea Plagge received the Shayna Marie Pritchard Award, given to the athlete that most embodied the values that Pritchard exhibited.

“That’s the coolest award ever,” said Kenai head coach Tracie Beck. “Chelsea is hard-working with the grit and attitude and positivity.

“That’s the most special award out of the whole weekend.”

The Homer Mariners took third place with a match victory over Eielson earlier on Saturday, and Ketchikan took fifth place with a win over Redington. Before the final, Kenai defeated Eielson in the

tourney semifinals and Nikiski beat Homer to set up the championship match.

A young Kardinals team made a show of it in Game 1 of the final, going point for point with Nikiski through much of the game. The Bulldogs were two points away from winning at 23-21, but a bolstered Kenai team rallied for the final four points and take a 1-0 match lead.

Sophomore Kaylee Lauritsen provided several points, starting with a powerful kill to start the finishing kick and setting up game point with a stuff block. A shot into the net by Nikiski blocker Kaycee Bostic clinched the game win for Kenai.

“Kenai came out really strong, and even as a young team, they have a lot of hustle,” Segura said.

“We usually have to feel things out at first.”

Saturday’s game was Fisk’s return to action since being injured in the team’s first game of the season against Kodiak.

He had a strong return, scoring two of the game’s touchdowns for Homer and contributing 171 of the team’s total 229 rushing yards.

Senior Yuri Golick contributed another 54 rushing yards. He also scored the other two Homer touchdowns of the game, one in the second quarter for a 10-yard gain, and the other in the third for a 5-yard gain.

Kalugin — one of a few transplants from the disbanded Head of the Bay Cougars team made up of players from three Russian Old Believer village schools — completed 3 of his 13 passes. The Voznesenka junior also made a successful two-point conversion on one of Golick’s touchdowns.

Prokohpy Konev, another former Cougars player, also contributed handily to the game with a tackle, 13 receiving yards and 51 total kick return yards.

But Allgaier kept thinking about everything else that could go wrong.

What if he didn’t hit his mark on a turn? What if his car ran over a debris on the track? What if he just ran out of fuel?

“Ok if I run out of gas I may not go back to the garage area,” Allgaier said in recounting his internal conversation. “I may just

walk back home to Charlotte.”

Instead, he’ll head back with his second victory in three weeks, both coming on road courses, after pulling away over the final five laps.

Allgaier held a 5.4-second advantage over second-place Matt Tifft to take the tense race filled with bumps, scrapes and spinouts around the 14-turn course.

Daniel Hemric, Tifft’s teammate at Richard Childress Racing, was third.

The victory erases the sting of a close call in 2011, when Allgaier led late in the race before running out of fuel during a yellow flag.

This time, Allgaier was the beneficiary of late-race commotion.

game, the Bulldogs found their groove and proceed to outscore the Kards 40-13 the rest of the way, starting with a 5-0 start to Game 2. Deadly serving by senior libero Kelsey Clark helped turn up the energy level in the gym, which was rocking by the time Nikiski finished off a 25-10 game victory to tie the match at 1-all and force a Game 3.

“We’re a little older, so I think we were able to keep our composure better,” Segura said.

“We know there’s two more games to go.”

A service point by Kaitlyn Johnson won Game 2 for Nikiski, which started strong again in Game 3, scoring the first eight points before Kenai could recover for its first point of the game. A kill point by Bethany Carstens sealed the tournament title.

Carstens finished with a team-high six kills, adding to the four kills by Bostic and three by Johnson. Bostic also notched five aces and two blocks, while Johnson had four aces and six assists.

Kelsey Clark’s 12 digs led the defense, which also got 11 digs from Angela Druesedow, eight digs from America Jeffreys and 10 digs and nine as-

sists from Emma Wik. Soldotna 3, Seward 2 The visiting Soldotna volleyball team notched a 3-1 nonconference victory over host Seward on Friday in the first nontournament match of the season for both schools.

The scores were 26-24, 2225, 28-26 and 25-22.

Seahawks coach Jodi Kurtz, whose squad plays at the 3A level, wrote in a text message that her team has been working on a different way of setting and that going up against a 4A school like Soldotna was a perfect time to test out all the work.

“The Seahawks girls showed the hard work that they have been putting into practice,” Kurtz wrote.

Kurtz said her outside hitters were solid off the setting of Allie Toloff, Katelyn SawyerLemme and Anavey Ambrosiani. Kurtz also said the defense was amazing in this match.

“They played amazing as a team,” Kurtz wrote.

Bartlett State Preview

BLUE JAYS 8, PHILLIES 6

P

The Kenai Central girls cross-country team led the area by taking fourth place at the Bartlett State Preview on Saturday in Anchorage.

The race takes place on the course that will host the state meet Sept. 29. In what coach Maria Calvert called a nice surprise in a text message, the Kardinals scored 124 points to finish behind the 57 of winner Service. Importantly, though, Kenai was the top 3A team at a statewide meet for the second time this season. Grace Christian, in ninth place, was the next 3A team in the standings.

Eagle River’s Emily Walsh took the five-kilometer girls race in 18 minutes, 43 seconds.

The first peninsula finisher was Jaycie Calvert in eighth at 19:34. Leah Fallon at 20th in 20:37 and Brooke Satathite in 21st at 20:37 also broke into the top 25 for the Kardinals.

Also in the top 25 for the peninsula was Homer’s Autumn Daigle. The defending 3A champion made her season debut and was the third 3A runner in the race, behind Calvert and Grace’s Mazzy Jackson.

Soldotna freshman Jordan Strausbaugh also ran in a statewide varsity race for the first time and finished 16th at 20:25.

The boys title went to Dimond with 49 points, while Soldotna was the top peninsula

team at sixth in 163. That finish also made Soldotna the top Region 3/Division I team at the meet, three spots ahead of Colony.

Chugiak’s Daniel Bausch won the race in 15:33, while Lance Chilton was the top peninsula finisher, in 17th at 17:08.

SoHi’s Mekbeb Denbrock was right behind in 21st at 17:14, while Bradley Walters was next for the Stars in 26th at 17:26.

Kenai Central’s Maison Dunham also got into the top 25 by running 17:25 to finish 25th.

PARAMUS, N.J. — Bryson DeChambeau described himself as a “man on a mission,” and he sure played like one Saturday in The Northern Trust.

Now it’s a matter of which mission he’s on.

DeChambeau made four birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn to pull away from a fading collection of stars, closed with two more birdies and had an 8-under 63 to build a four-shot lead over Keegan Bradley going into the final round of the opening FedEx Cup playoff event.

brought his total ground yardage this year to 357 in just three games, leading all peninsula backs.

Overall, Nikiski outgained Redington 311 to 159 in total yardage, including 269 yards rushing.

Each side committed four fumbles, but Redington had three get away for good. In all, the Bulldogs forced five total turnovers — three fumbles and two interceptions.

Noah Litke and Eiter each hauled in an interception with the game on the line. Litke’s interception of Huskies quarterback Kyler Rumfelt with 1:08 remaining in the third quarter set up a drive that ended with Litke connecting with Eiter on a 14-yard fade route in the end zone, a touchdown pass that put Nikiski up 20-0 and helped ice the victory with 10:46 left.

Litke finished the day with only the two competed passes, both of which went to Eiter for touchdowns, and 42 passing yards.

Entering the day, Nikiski head coach Paul Nelson acknowledged Nikiski’s biggest task would be to keep Huskies QB Kyler Rumfelt from running wild on the Bulldogs, and they did by containing the burly Rumfelt to just 31 rush yards and pressured him into two picks in a 6-for-22 passing day.

Nelson said after nearly going scoreless for the entire first half, the Bulldogs showed moxie in finishing the game strong.

“It’s big,” Nelson said.

“Redington really came out with a killer defensive plan and they shut us down early on.”

The first half was trending toward a scoreless halftime until Nikiski finally came through in the red zone with a touchdown pass from Litke to Eiter with five seconds left.

“I didn’t really pay attention to the down,” Guggenmos said.

“They were good play calls.

“We worked on fourth down in practice this week and we went out and executed that in the game.”

The Kardinals had a chance to make it a two-score game just before the half, but on fourthand-goal from the Palmer 5 with 53 seconds left in the half, Titus Riddall gained 3 yards on a run.

Palmer then put the game out of reach with a scoring drive to start the second half that was nine rushes, the last a 13-yard touchdown by Marshall.

Kenai then mounted a 14-play, 75-yard scoring drive capped by a 1-yard plunge by Titus Riddall, but Palmer answered with a 27yard scoring strike from Guggenmos to Dawson VanTassel.

‘To see that adversity in the first half, and the kids battle back, it was good.

It’s huge for us to maintain focus and keep our foot on the gas.’

— Paul Nelson, Nikiski head coach

After nearly 24 minutes of empty possessions, a Redington fumble forced by Eiter late in the second quarter gave the Bulldogs the ball with just enough time to run a scoring drill.

The 58-yard drive was capped with an 18-yard lob from Litke to Eiter along the sideline, and Eiter snuck by a defender to get inside the orange pylon to give Nikiski a lead it wouldn’t give up.

“That was the spark that started everything for us,” Eiter said. “It’s a lot different when we went to the locker room at half with the lead.”

The Bulldogs finallyx managed to distance themselves in the second half starting with a 37-yard blocked punt return by Justin Harris that pushed the lead to 12-0 midway through the third quarter.

Redington’s initial punt was blocked by a wall of Nikiski linemen, and while most on the field hadn’t realized the ball was live, Harris quickly recognized the situation and scooped the ball up for a touchdown.

Nikiski kept the momentum going late in the third quarter on a Litke interception that gave the Bulldogs great field position. Nikiski capitalized with a 14-yard scoring pass by Litke that landed into the hands of Eiter for the second time with 10:46 left in the game.

Eiter then provided one of

made that throw.”

The Moose out-gained the Kards 326-231, a total not as lopsided as the final score.

“It’s just the tiny, little mental mistakes that are hurting us,” Akana said. “We don’t have to fix anything huge. That’s a positive.”

The coach said Riddall (61 yards on 20 carries), Felchle (6 of 9 for 118 yards) and Zach Burnett (61 total yards) all did well on offense.

On defense, the coach liked the play of Jarett Wilson and Joe Sylvester.

the final daggers of the contest by forcing a fumble on Redington’s Josh Miller, getting his arm on the play to pop the ball loose and set up another touchdown drive.

Harris capped that drive with a 38-yard scramble to end the scoring with 8:20 left. Litke found Eiter in the end zone on the ensuing two-point play to make it a 28-point lead.

As if to make his impact felt, Eiter notched his second turnover in as many possessions with an interception on Rumfelt with 6:25 to play.

Nelson said the win was another step in the right direction for the Bulldogs.

“To see that adversity in the first half, and the kids battle back, it was good,” Nelson said. “It’s huge for us to maintain focus and keep our foot on the gas.”

The Recycling Bin

U nhinged A laska

Can you feel it yet? There is definitely something different about nature’s pulse and the actions of her minions.

It started several weeks back while I was embroiled in a territorial dispute with another insufferable woodpecker rehearsing drum riffs on our cabin’s logs.

It had been a while since I had run one off and didn’t think much about it until a small flock of young feral pheasants sauntered out of the brush to encourage the $#^*@%!+>&.

I was surprised by their size, especially since they were some hen’s second brood of the summer and were on the verge of being able launch over rather than skulk through the flora.

I won the skirmish when the pile-driving beak with feathers suddenly decided to jet after he spotted what looked to be an enraged Sasquatch storming his way wielding a Wiffle bat and snarling epithets that would mortify a Delta Force training instructor.

As I reveled in my victory, it hit me. Here we go again, slip slidin’ away toward the colorful kaleidoscopes of fall and the chilly white sheets soon to follow.

The sandhill cranes have sensed the increasing tardiness of the morning glow on the back slopes of the mountains along with the earlier gloaming of dying days and have engaged their fledged colts in flight formation training.

The signs are all around us. Fishing activity has begun to wane because school has started and tourists have been easing south in caravans of mongo motor homes featuring side-outs that could serve as alternative launch platforms for Predator drones.

August has brought a mixture of schizophrenic weather patterns. The remnants of exhausted typhoons have churned through proclaiming their arrival via the murmur of whispering leaves that transformed into a cacophony of chattering branches, groaning trunks, and twisting crowns as their storm winds peaked.

Their advents did not bode well for my wife’s stately lilies, pompous peonies and matronly dahlias.

She had been able to handle the month’s gloomy skies and snit fits rather well until she stepped outside one afternoon after Ma Nature had dispatched a retinue of sniveling squalls through the region escorted by caterwauling tempests that goaded the pendulous clouds into releasing a skyborne tsunami.

I certainly can’t repeat what I heard as she looked down upon her flower garden but I will admit my dust up with the woodpecker and resultant colorful aspersions referencing his questionable lineage and personal hygiene habits didn’t come close to the scandalous invectives she hurled aloft.

I tried doing some research on the meaning of a few of them then realized they were probably coined at the peak of her pique never to be heard again. That’s probably a good thing, if one wants to ignore how fast the skies cleared up.

The changing axial tilt of the earth will bring on further shifts as seasonal vendors commence shutting down and once congested fishing destinations become quieter than a mid-winter nudist beach in Unalaska.

In any case, it really doesn’t matter who or what is doing what. It was an impressive summer but time drifts on and darker days cometh.

We all realize that the approach of fall portends sweeping transformations. The Katmai bears have put on more tonnage than Sumo wrestlers with an eating disorder and the NFL preseason is, once again, going through its motions of hopeful relevance.

Fireweed patches are desperately trying to cling to their last bit luster before topping off with a ragged display of seedy dander soon to be propelled by a gentle breeze-sneeze of air.

There are positives. It no longer takes part of an eon to turn left into traffic and heading to Anchorage is more a scenic drive rather than a survival run.

Yes, the daylight intervals are compressing. I now have to wear a headlamp to take our aging diminutive rescue mutt out much earlier for her early morning delicates because as the grey on her muzzle increases so do her urges. That’s OK, she’d do the same for me except the cur would pilfer my treat, the miscreant little $^3+.

Thankfully, there is still a profusion of fishing left to do with silvers making their runs up the rivers and streams along with those nasty cage fighter steelhead. Thus, there is an abundance of excuses left for not jumping, Xtratuffs first, into the toils and tribulations of winterization projects, just yet.

We’ll discuss those onerous requirements at a later date but well before the snow flies.

I made that mistake just once 15 years ago and Jane still has the pictures of me slogging through drifts in the back forty with a metal detector searching for missing lawn tools and a highly valued tackle box.

There’s no question that our aging summer is slip slidin’ away but this time I’m on it.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,” Hippocrates, father of medicine, 431 B.C. “Eat food.

Not too much. Mostly plants,” Michael Pollan, renowned food expert and journalist, 2007 A.D. Throughout history, cultures worldwide have reported the healing properties of food. Many fruits and vegetables have phytochemicals, the protective compounds, that have been particularly studied in the last decade. These phytochemicals offer benefits such as cancer prevention, cholesterol reduction and hormone regulation, to name a few. Take advantage of the wonderful cornucopia of locally grown produce and what you can’t eat now, consider fermenting, pickling, freezing, drying, or canning. Bon appetit!

Rawhide is actual animal skin that has been soaked in salt water to preserve it, with the fat and fur removed.

Consuming rawhide can cause problems for some dogs -- they can possibly choke on the rawhide, and the rawhide may be difficult to digest once it is swallowed.

Experts suggest allowing your dog to chew on rawhide for the flavor and tactile activity, but you should pick it up before it can be ingested.

This can be a good compromise.

DEAR ABBY: A woman in my social circle has called me a know-it-all and accused me of making her feel stupid. She has refused to accept my apology, canceled our carpools to events and has started challenging me at every turn of any conversation.

I no longer feel comfortable accepting invitations to gatherings in her home, but frequent encounters with her are unavoidable. How should I handle confrontations with her in the future?

-- TRAUMATIZED TEXAN DEAR T.T.: There shouldn’t be any “confrontations.” When you see the woman, be pleasant and keep your distance. If she tries to start an argument, tell her the problem is hers and you don’t intend to make it yours -- period. Then, if there are others present, devote your time to them.

Timing is everything in family feud over leaving the table DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have a disagreement about when a person should be allowed to get up from the table. We have an 8-month-old son whom we both want to grow up to have good manners. We know he’ll soon be out of his high chair and become squirmy and not want to stay seated.

My wife was raised to stay seated and be excused only after everyone is finished eating -- holding everyone hostage until the last person is finished and extending dinnertime up to an hour or more. I feel it’s excessive, and a child would have a hard time sitting still that long.

When she was little, her parents tied her to her chair so she couldn’t get up until everyone finished eating. I was raised to ask to be excused after I was finished, but was welcome to stay and socialize if I liked.

In my opinion, dinner should last about 30 minutes so there’s time to finish chores around the house. I agree that coming to the table and leaving after 10 minutes is rude because the cook has taken great care to prepare the meal and may feel insulted if the diner gets up too quickly. Long dinners may have been acceptable in Jane Austen’s day, but not in today’s fast-paced world.

-- HIGH CHAIR HOSTAGE DEAR HIGH CHAIR: Your wife appears to be extremely rigid. On the plus side, she appreciates the importance of family dinners in the home. I agree that children should be taught table manners, however, tying a kid to a chair is considered child abuse these days, and I don’t recommend it.

Modern parents recognize that small children have short attention spans and compensate for it in various ways. When a child is old enough to understand, the rules should be spelled out. If the children are in another person’s home or a public place, materials should be provided so the child can entertain him- or herself while the adults make conversation. If the child needs to get up and move around, he or she should be accompanied by a parent so

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Aug. 26, 2018: This year you could feel conflicted, as you sometimes want to be intellectual in your responses, yet your feelings run the show. Learning to juggle these seemingly opposite attitudes could be a challenge. If you are single, you might meet a lot of people, but not everyone has the makeup to give you a longterm, committed relationship. Do not settle. If you are attached, the two of you act as if you are on the seesaw of life. You will learn to be in harmony with your significant other, no matter what. PISCES accepts change graciously.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You slow down quite suddenly, and could find it close to impossible to get going again. Do not fight the inevitable; call today a lazy day. Curl up and take as many naps as you want.

Don’t fight this side of yourself today. Tonight: Do as little as possible.

This Week: Recent frustrations seem to disappear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You have handled a lot of responsibilities over the past few days. You feel liberated, whether you accept an invitation to a favorite spot or pick up the phone and make plans to take a drive to your favorite summer spot. Tonight: Let your hair down.

This Week: Use Monday to the max.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Reach out to a loved one at a distance. This person has quite a lot of authority over you. To many people, he or she seems controlling. Look at your relationship closely; you could feel as if you usually have a fun time with this person. Tonight: Be a wild thing.

This Week: Expect to be in the limelight Monday and Tuesday.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Opt for a day trip that pulls you out of your environment. The change of landscape does a world of good, and helps change your perspective. As a result, when you look at problems later, they seem to have rolled away. Tonight: Just don’t be alone, whatever you do.

This Week: Detach and make sure your plan is feasible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You and a loved one need to spend some quality time together. You have the best intentions, but an element of the unexpected could change your plans. At a certain point, bucking a trend won’t work, especially today. Tonight: Avoid a blaming situation.

This Week: You will design a plan that satisfies most people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Defer to others. Not that you don’t defer frequently, but it is important for a loved one to feel as if you trust his or her

judgment. Unfortunately, a tendency toward surprises and the unexpected marks both of your days. Tonight: Maintain a sense of humor.

This Week: If there is a backfire, you will not be held responsible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might want to vanish for the day. You could get into a home project that you can do by yourself. You notice that others seem to be going in all directions at once. Don’t count on anyone but yourself today. Tonight: Be gracious with others.

This Week: Do not push away some menial work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Honor a fast change, as it is likely to make all the difference in how you deal with a loved one. You might have had plans, but be ready for an adjustment. A younger person could charm his or her way into your plans. Tonight: Be as creative as possible.

This Week: Your ingenuity sparks conflict as well as great ideas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Reach out to someone who often needs help, no matter what he or she does. Make it your pleasure to pitch in.

Emotions run high, and you might want to pull back some if the moment becomes too intense. Tonight: Reward yourself, and go where you want to be.

This Week: You might be slow to start, but you’ll still accomplish a lot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You can be counted on, despite current trends around you. Don’t take it personally when someone cancels your plans together. Take the free time and go off to explore a new store or catch a movie. You will feel renewed as a result. Tonight: Get some R and R. This Week: Lay your cards on the table Monday.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might want to eliminate a problem before it happens. Be aware of the costs of overspending. You might not be conscious of your behavior until you take a hard look at your budget. Fortunately, you have saved for this moment. Tonight: Be more upbeat.

This Week: Make sure you have the funds to proceed as you would like.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Today’s Full Moon gets the best of you, no matter what you do. You can try to buck the trend, but you could end up getting more frustrated. It might be best to accept the circumstances and follow the moment. Move your plans. Tonight: Time for fun!

This Week: Ask for what you want on Monday.

Alternative Energy

Mini Fact:

Working Green

Alternative energy sources include wind, geothermal (energy created from the heat of the Earth’s interior), solar, waves, tides and biofuels.

Biofuels are sources of energy Department of Energy / NREL photo by Dennis Schroeder created from biological raw materials, such as plants, grains or animal-based oils. Workers in these fields include scientists, technicians, construction workers, farmers and salespeople.

Solar power is the most plentiful energy source on Earth.

Do you think about what kind of job you’d like to have when you grow up? Next week, on Sept. 3, we’ll celebrate Labor Day in the United States. Labor Day honors working people who contribute to the country’s success and strength.

The Mini Page explored seven “green” jobs to “plant” some ideas in your mind about careers that might interest you.

Urban and Regional Planning

Urban planners come up with ideas about how to use land.

They help develop photo courtesy Dublinohiousa.gov communities and figure out the best ways to work with growing populations. They also make plans for older towns and cities that will revitalize them, or bring them back to life.

Hydrology

A hydrologist is a scientist who studies how water moves on and beneath the Earth’s surface. Hydrologists are concerned about the Earth’s water supply, so they work with engineers and photo by Deena Green, USGS public officials to figure out the best ways to save and use water.

Recycling goes way beyond putting your paper and plastic in a bin at home. For recycling to work, the industry needs drivers to pick up the materials, facility workers to process them and salespeople to sell the processed materials for reuse.

Atmospheric Science

Atmospheric (at-mus-FEER-ick) scientists and meteorologists (me-te-orAHL-o-jists) study our climate and weather.

They examine how these processes affect the planet and people, and how people affect photo courtesy NOAA the processes.

Looking ahead

What do most of these jobs have in common? Many of them depend on a good knowledge of science! So if any of these green careers appeal to you, work hard in your science classes, and think about ways you can be eco-friendly now.

Forestry and Conservation

Geoscience

Geoscientists study our planet’s physical (FIZ-ihkul) qualities, such as what the planet is made of and how it is changing. They use historical records and current data to find out photo courtesy NPS what changes might happen in the future.

We can use tidal energy in some places instead of burning coal and oil that contribute to global warming. Tidal generators (or turbines) work like wind turbines, except it is ocean currents, not wind, that turn them.

The spinning turbine is connected to another device that produces electricity.

The electricity then travels through wires to a city where people need it. Unlike the wind, the tides are very predictable.

So it’s easy to decide where to put tidal turbines and figure out how much energy they will generate. adapted from climatekids.nasa.gov

Cooperative Extension adapts to a less agricultural America

In its century of existence, the Cooperative Extension System has been a valuable resource distributing university-driven, sciencebased information — mostly about farming and gardening — to the public. But in today’s less agricultural America, the Extension network is adapting, expanding its rural focus into cities and suburbs too.

Urban and suburban communities have their own health needs, says Wiley Thompson, a regional director for Oregon State University Extension. “Some live in ‘food deserts.’ They want to further their education but may not want to move, and many want to intensively garden and manage their compact green spaces,” he says.

“I sense the need for Cooperative Extension is stronger than ever,” says Thompson, who previously chaired the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Cooperative Extension, formalized by the federal Smith-Lever Act of 1914, was designed to translate know-how from technical Land Grant campuses into practical knowledge, and share it with local communities. Most of that outreach was about agricultural production and livestock, gardening, food preservation and safety, nutrition, sewing, early childhood development and 4-H Club activities, says Amy Ouellette, associate director of University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension.

A century ago, 41 percent of America’s workforce was engaged in farming. The comparable figure in 2000 was only 1.9 percent, prompting questions about Extension’s continuing relevance.

Over the past few decades, Extension’s funding has gone flat or been slashed, its offices closed or consolidated, and its staffing reduced.

“In the early days, about one-third of our funds came from the federal government, onethird from the state and one-third from counties,” Ouellette says. “Federal funding has been stagnant. Now it’s about 12 percent of our budget.”

In New Hampshire, state financial support is funneled through the university system (about 40 percent), while counties contribute about 15 percent, she said. Grants, contracts, fees for service and gifts cover the balance, Ouellette says. Other states use similar funding models.

Despite the cutbacks, most Extension programming is still provided without charge, says Scott Reed, Oregon State’s Extension Service director.

Cooperative Extension remains the onestop shop for soil test kits, planting information, farm financial health and youth leadership workshops. You can join Extension Agents for field trips to pick out promising calves or lambs for 4-H competition at County Fairs.

“We teach in support of positive youth development, preventive health behaviors, improved water quality, sustainable natural resources, and available high quality and safe food, among other items of public value,” Reed says.

Extension is the only deliverer of sciencebased, unbiased education in rural settings, and can’t abandon its rural commitment, he says.

But if it’s to thrive, it also must go where the people are, he believes, reaching more people through community colleges and virtual learning environments, and through partnerships with educational non-profits and other groups.

Extension’s outreach technology already has pivoted toward community settings with hybrid in-person/online courses.

“We have electronic records of those who participate,” Reed says. “We know what they’re interested in and we go proactive with that.”

Education delivery is a crowded field in urban settings with a variety of non-profits and foundations providing services. “In those areas we’ve become wholesalers of information, expeditors and facilitators, rather than retailing directly to clients,” Reed says.

“There’s not enough of us to go around.”

The new efforts often mean hiring staff with more diverse interests and backgrounds.

“We can never forget our roots, but they (staff) must be willing to adapt and innovate both in knowledge and delivery,” says Thompson.

Create a teen-friendly space at home Teenagers are busier than ever before. But even the busiest teens need places to unwind and relax with friends. Many parents aspire to create that type of environment in their homes but don’t know where to begin.

Having teens close by and interacting with them on a regular basis can benefit families.

Data from the National Center for Education Statistics notes that parental involvement correlates to higher grade point averages. Research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says certain parenting styles, including those that set rules and monitor teens in supportive ways, develop kids who are more likely to wear seat belts while driving, while such support also lowers crash risk.

Involved parents also may reduce the chances of teen drug use and promiscuous behavior.

Parents who want to keep teens nearby can create hangout spaces at home that make it easy for teens to feel comfortable with their friends. These “teen caves” can be private but permit supervision when necessary. With a few modifications, it’s possible to transform a

room in a home into a teen-friendly hangout space.

• Talk to your children. Involve teens in the process of renovating a home to create a spot in which they would like to congregate. Talk about elements they would like to see in the space, whether it be a particular design style, technology or activity.

• Establish a shared budget. Paint is inexpensive and can transform just about any room in a single afternoon. If the room being renovated is the teen’s own bedroom, allow him or her to choose the color palette and other accents. Even if it isn’t to your taste, he or she will be proud of the results and may want to share it with friends.

• Have a snack station. Some teenagers always seem to be hungry, and hanging out with friends while enjoying food is a popular pastime. When renovating a room into a teen cave, find a way to make food a focus. Install a mini-refrigerator and non-alcoholic bar where kids can serve snacks to friends. Think about a space you would like as an adult and modify it

to be more accommodating to teenagers.

• Add more seating. Having friends over means having enough seating to handle a small crowd. Beanbags, cushioned benches, a daybed, modular seating, and more can ensure everyone has a place to sit.

• Make a private outdoor spot. Teen spaces do not need to be restricted to the indoors.

Design advice site Houzz says an outdoor escape zone that includes comfortable seating in a private area — particularly a spot that can also be enjoyed into the evening — will be a coveted spot.

• Invest in “indestructible” materials. Teenagers are bound to make messes, and having other people over means contending with a certain measure of damage. Design the space with indoor-outdoor carpeting, water-resistant fabrics, distressed wood, and other durable materials.

Adolescents are always looking for spaces to gather without overbearing adult interference. Homeowners can create such spaces for their children in their own homes.

Millwork can add appeal and a classic feel Homeowners are discovering that architectural accents can go a long way toward improving both the look and value of their homes. When renovating a space, the term “millwork” may be mentioned by designers and contractors. While it might be a mystery to some, millwork can give rooms unique looks.

Millwork refers to items traditionally made from raw lumber in a sawmill. Examples of millwork include crown molding, base trims, door frames, window casings, chair rails, and paneling. Cabinets may also classify as millwork.

Used for both decoration and to increase the functionality of buildings, millwork comes in various types. Generally, millwork is fabricated in two ways. Stock millwork tends to be massproduced commercial items. These low-cost items are interchangeable and may be widely available at retailers, including home improvement centers. Custom millwork is a product that is custom designed and produced for individuals and special building projects. Sometimes referred to as “architectural millwork,” these pieces may be more ornate and made-to-order.

Homeowners who want to match a focal point of a home or an existing style often turn to custom millwork.

Between the 15th and 18th centuries, ornate millwork was largely reserved for royalty or the very wealthy. Skilled carpenters would hand carve each piece, taking weeks to finish most projects. Eventually, millwork became more commonplace. Distinguishing one property from another today could mean turning back to the more distinctive designs of the past.

Homeowners looking for ways to enhance their properties can embrace millwork to achieve a luxury feel without a sizable investment. The first step is to choose millwork that will coordinate with the era and style of a home’s existing decor. Ornate millwork in an overly modern house may seem out of place. The millwork should match the architectural theme of the home.

Although some do-it-yourselfers can successfully install prefabricated millwork, for custom designs and a truly seamless look, it is important to have millwork professionally installed. Individuals should research carpenters who specialize in millwork and verify their license and reputation through a consumer protection agency.

Popular types of millwork include crown molding, corbels, wainscotting, and custom

bookcases. Homeowners may not realize that millwork can be added to spaces of all sizes to give them an air of sophistication.

Although millwork was traditionally formed from hardwoods, eco-friendly homeowners can

now find millwork crafted from synthetic materials and even reclaimed woods.

Millwork can add that special touch to the interior or exterior of a home. Learn more by visiting worldmillworkalliance.com.

5 Ideas for planning a debt-free vacation

By SEAN PYLES NerdWallet

Whether you’re planning a trip to a country across the globe or packing the car for a weekend road trip to a local campground, you can have a debt-free vacation with some careful planning.

It’s easy to see how a vacation can blow up even the most carefully planned budget: In NerdWallet’s 2018 Summer Spending Report, parents surveyed by Harris Poll planned to charge an average of $1,019 to credit cards for summer vacations.

To ease the stress of a vacation on your budget, start with a clear idea of your trip’s scope — identifying expenses from the time you leave your home to the moment you return — and create a realistic spending limit. Then get creative to trim costs along the way.

1. SAVE OVER TIME Play the long game when planning and saving for a vacation. Put a portion of every paycheck aside to build up a reserve of cash for your trip.

Even saving $25 or $50 a month will help make your trip more affordable. Make sure the amount you’re setting aside will provide you with enough vacation cash, too.

Consider opening a separate savings account and automating regular transfers to help you

save without thinking about it.

If you’re more of an impulsive traveler, work to contribute to this travel fund regularly so you can have that weekend getaway without having to pull out your credit card.

2. MAKE A FRIENDLY BUDGET Think of your budget as another companion on your trip.

Just as with any travel buddy, make sure you and your budget set good expectations for each other. Make a spending plan. Account for everything from flights and lodging to entertainment and shopping.

Your budget might not take you to every museum or restaurant you want; work to find a compromise that makes both of you happy.

If you run the numbers and find you can’t swing that vacation without overspending, think about shelving the trip for a few months and saving more money in the meantime.

3. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR CREDIT CARDS Have a travel credit card or a cash-back card sitting in your wallet? You can take advantage of it before and during your trip. If you don’t have one yet and your trip is six months or more away, consider looking into cards with a sign-up bonus that could cover flights or lodging.

Card in hand, spend smart.

Say you have a card that gives you cash back on groceries; determine what you spend on groceries annually and earmark those rewards points for your vacation budget.

The key is having a plan to pay off your charges every month, advises Joe Cheung, a travel hacker and blogger at As the Joe Flies.

“Everything starts out with a commitment to not having any credit card debt,” says Cheung.

“With that principle in place, that opens up the possibility to earn credit card rewards without going into debt or paying interest.”

You can also use a rewards card to cut your travel costs .

Your card may get you free rental car insurance, or baggage fees or foreign transaction fees waived.

4. WATCH HOTELS LIKE A HAWK Lodging is one of the most costly parts of a vacation. Shop strategically to lower your hotel costs, including monitoring prices and booking rooms during off-peak periods.

Cheung recommends booking your reservation, but waiting to pay. That way you can continue to monitor hotel prices and change your booking accordingly.

“Sometimes prices will drop by just $10 or $20, but sometimes it’s pretty drastic,”

In this Aug. 1 photo, tourists climb a temple at the archeological site of Coba, in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. (AP Photo/Eduardo Verdugo, File)

With the smartphone app Hopper, for example, you can enter the general parameters of your itinerary, and it will track prices over time and alert you when the cheapest flight is available. The more flexible your travel dates, the easier it will be for you to find a low price. Google Flights provides 5. USE APPS TO FIND a similar service.

Cheung says. “I once had a hotel for $250 a night, then it dropped to $160 a night.”

You also can check prices at the hotel where you’ve made your initial reservation and price-compare with hotel price aggregator sites to see if you’re getting the best deal.

3 kids, 2 parents and 1 wheelchair in an RV

By ERIN NEGLEY LNP newspaper

LANCASTER, Pa. — Brian and Diane Peachey had always dreamed about seeing as much of the country as possible. But with just a few weeks of vacation a year, they never could relax or see everything on their list.

They liked camping with their three children. Maybe they could buy an RV and take a break from work.

Then Brian Peachey was laid off. It was a permanent sabbatical, they joke.

So the Peacheys went for it.

They sold their house in February and soon hit the road in their RV. Now the family of five is exploring the country while looking for their next home.

They’re documenting their epic trip for their thousands of followers on YouTube, showing how Brian’s wheelchair doesn’t stop him from adventure. Their experiment is like an early retirement, with their children along for the ride.

Now instead of shuttling the kids to activities, cleaning the house and mowing the lawn, the Peacheys have a lot of time together on the road and at campsites around the country.

“It really gets you closer because you’re just together,”

Diane says. “Building those relationships and those memories with our kids is going to be priceless.”

Thirty years before they started their trip, Brian was a Manheim Township High School graduate and a Penn State student working a summer job on a local construction site. As he was walking on the roof of a building under construction, he fell 20 feet, breaking his spine, fracturing his skull and making him a paraplegic. He explains this story with Lego toys re-enacting the scenes in a YouTube video that’s been watched more than 800,000 times.

Peachey graduated and got a civil engineering job at the Department of Transportation in New Jersey. That’s where he met Diane. When they were both laid off, they saw it as an opportunity to move back to Pennsylvania, where they both grew up. They moved to Berks County, then Coopersburg, Lehigh County, to help Diane’s aging parents.

During a winter break a few years ago, the Peacheys took a trial trip: four places in four weeks in a tow-behind camper.

They figured out logistics, supplies, how the camper handled and how they could handle being so close for a month.

“We loved it,” Diane says.

“It went by so fast,” Brian says.

When Diane’s parents died, the Peachey’s ties to their home were not as tight. Brian’s job looked tenuous as the company went through an acquisition.

Was this the time to go for their dream of a life on the road?

When Brian lost his job, their decision was made.

“We took this opportunity with this life change that we all had been talking about,” Brian says.

They bought a 33-foot Bay Star RV with solar panels on top and three slides. The interior has an open floor plan with no modifications other than the hand controls Brian uses to drive.

It’s called Michelangelo, from a mispronunciation of the RV’s Michelin tires.

“And it’s a work of art,” daughter Makenna says.

Brian drives the RV, and Diane usually drives a second vehicle with another passenger.

They each have their own spaces in their home on wheels.

The 16-year-old twins, Jarod and Makenna, sleep on different levels of a trundle bed. Daughter Alex, 10, has her own level of a bunk bed and the parents have the main bedroom. There’s enough space for their two dogs, Pepper, a black lab mix, and Caramel, a Plott hound.

For the past few months, the Peacheys have traveled to the Indianapolis 500, gone mountain biking in Indiana and taken in the landscapes of Colorado in the RV. They’re now in California.

The kids continue their classes through Agora Cyber Charter School. In the spring, they returned to Lancaster County for the kids’ state tests and for the twins to get their drivers’ licenses. (They’re not driving the RV yet.)

So far, the Peacheys like to schedule a few meet-ups and then do what they want in between. They’ve made a goal to volunteer in each state they visit.

They’re documenting the trip on social media, mainly YouTube, plus Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and a website, Ablefamilytravels.com.

The Peacheys write and post videos as Able Family Life.

They first started the YouTube channel for fun and for the twins’ school projects. They soon realized most wheelchair videos online were either clinical (showing how a man who is paraplegic puts on his shoes, for example) or presented challenges where people tried to navigate the world in a wheelchair for a day.

“We wanted to show regular life activities,” Brian says.

“Having fun, especially familytype activities you can do, regardless of what disability you have.”

The family splits up the video work. Everyone films. Makenna edits. Jarod films footage on their new drone camera.

Their videos are popular and some have millions of views. At the top of the list is “5 annoying people at playgrounds” with 3.5 million views.

YouTube has been a great platform because it reaches so many people, it’s easy to access and it’s interactive, making it easy to build relationships.

The family also likes reaching a young audience.

“The younger you get them, then they never grow up with that stereotype of what a person in a wheelchair is like,” Diane says.

Brian has modified some of his adventures, like the time he could only go part way on a hike to a waterfall.

When booking a campsite at state and national parks or private campgrounds, they need to make sure the site is right for Brian’s ramp into the RV. Sites too narrow or with a steep drop won’t cut it.

Otherwise, they’ve learned quickly they can live with much less stuff. Diane does miss gardening, but they have a few herb

plants in the RV’s windows.

While on the road, they can’t attend Sunday services at Calvary Bible Fellowship Church so they tune in to sermons online.

The Peacheys first thought they might travel through the end of the year, but they have since made plans through next year. For finances, they have their savings and money from the sale of their home. Perhaps new income from their growing online presence can fund an even-longer trip.

A new Patreon account allows people to pay to support the family. Each tier has rewards: a meet-up, access to the family’s journal entries, postcards from their travels and the chance to have a say in what the Peacheys do or where their next stop will be.

The busyness of daily life has slowed down on the road.

It’s something Diane noticed when meeting up with friends.

“Just for them to get together with us is such a project because of that busyness factor,” she says. “You don’t realize you’re caught in that: stuff and busyness until you stop. ‘Wow I can live without all of that stuff.’ “ Now they’re wondering why it took so long to hit the road.

Factors to consider when choosing and applying mulch Homeowners may associate mulch with springtime lawn and garden care, but mulching in fall can benefit a lawn as well. According to the Morton Arboretum in Illinois, mulch protects roots against extreme temperatures, and not just those associated with summer heat waves.

Mulch is often connected with its ability to help soil retain moisture during especially warm times of the year, when mulch promotes strong roots that can help lawns and plants survive periods of extreme heat. But when applied in the fall, mulch also inhibits freezing and thawing in winter, reducing the likelihood that plants will be injured.

While applying mulch in fall can be beneficial to lawns, homeowners should first consider a few factors.

• Timing: The Morton Arboretum notes that mulch being applied as winter protection should not be applied too early in the fall, as doing so may delay the soil freezing process. Homeowners should wait until after a hard frost in the fall to apply winter mulch. In many places,

hard frost will not appear un- and how to apply mulch in vise a plan that ensures their Mulch may be widely as- the fall can benefit lawns and til late fall. the fall can consult with a lawns and gardens hold up sociated with spring lawn gardens as well.

Fine particles may pack down and retain moisture that will evaporate before it reaches the plant roots. Materials that are too coarse may be incapable of holding sufficient amounts of water to benefit the soil.

• Nutrients: Humus is an organic component of soil that forms when leaves and other plant materials decompose. Organic mulches provide humus and decompose over time, adding nutrients into the soil. The Morton Arboretum recommends that homeowners use organic mulch that was composted or treated prior to application so any weeds, insects or microorganisms are killed.

• Application: Correct application of the mulch is essential. Applying too much mulch can adversely affect lawns, plants and soil. In addition, excessive application can cause decay and make lawns and plants more vulnerable to disease. Homeowners uncertain about when

How to clean and maintain your new cookware film layers on hard materials to create nonstick surfaces that are generally resistant to scratching. Because they can be safer than some other nonstick alternatives, some consumers may prefer ceramic to other materials.

Even though ceramic is durable, it is not impervious to damage. Use wooden, silicone, plastic, or nylon utensils when cooking with ceramic. Metal utensils may mar the surface.

Even though the cookware is nonstick, using a small bit of oil or butter can help prolong this feature. Cooking sprays are not Ceramic recommended.

Running the gamut from ceramic to cast iron to stainless steel, cookware is available in various styles that fit cooks’ lifestyles and budgets.

Home cooks have more options than ever before when outfitting their kitchen equipment, and different cooking materials may raise questions about how to clean and maintain new items. Here’s a look at some popular cookware materials and how to care for those pots and pans.

Copper is highly reactive and isn’t food-safe on its own.

Copper usually features a protective layer of nickel or stainless steel to make it food-safe.

That means avoiding abrasive cleansers or sponges.

Another rule of thumb is to reduce the heat under copper pans and pots because they are such good conductors of heat. This will prevent stuckon foods, making for easier cleanup.

The connection between eating and energy The connection between energy and eating is significant.

A healthy diet and approach to eating can vastly improve energy levels, while a poorly planned diet that lacks nutrition can contribute to feelings of fatigue and increase a person’s risk for various ailments.

The Harvard Medical School notes that different kinds of foods are converted to energy at different rates. That’s why some foods, such as candy, provide quick boosts of energy while foods such as whole grains tend to supply the body with energy reserves that it can draw on throughout the day.

It’s not just what people eat but how they eat that can affect their energy levels. In addition to choosing the right foods, men and women can try the following strategies as they look to eat to boost their energy levels. r &BU TNBMMFS NPSF GSFRVFOU meals. Avoiding the traditional three-meals-per-day approach may help improve energy levels, especially for people who tend to eat sizable meals once, twice or even three times every

day. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the metabolisms of people who do not eat regularly will slow down, as the body absorbs and stores more of the food it eats. Those stores include cholesterol and fat, which can be unhealthy and contribute to weight gain. However, by eating small meals more frequently, one’s metabolism speeds up and more calories are burned. The body recognizes more food is soon on the way and, as a result, it does not need to store as much cholesterol and fat as it would if meals were eaten less frequently. r "WPJE B CJH MVODI 5IF Harvard Medical School notes that, while the reasons are unclear, research has indicated that the circadian rhythms of people who eat big lunches indicate a more significant drop in afternoon energy levels than the rhythms of people who eat smaller midday meals. Men and women who eat big lunches and find their energy levels waning later in the workday can try to eat smaller midday meals to boost their energy.

r #F DBSFGVM XJUI DBGGFJOF The foods people eat are not the only components of their diet that can affect their energy levels. Caffeinated beverages can provide a temporary boost of energy as well. However, men and women who drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to boost their energy levels should avoid doing so in large amounts after 2 p.m. That’s because caffeine can cause insomnia, and insufficient sleep can dramatically affect energy levels. r $IPPTF UIF SJHIU TOBDLT Eating smaller, more frequent meals may compel some people to snack. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics notes that snacks are important as long as they’re the right snacks.

Avoid snacks that are just empty calories in favor of foods that contain protein and fiber-rich carbohydrates. Such snacks, which may include fruits such as apples and fresh berries or protein sources like nuts and Greek yogurt, can provide lasting energy. It’s also important that men and women not snack to fill themselves up, but rather

to quell any hunger pangs and get an energy boost between meals.

The foods people eat and when they eat them can have a dramatic impact on their energy levels.
