FAIRBANKS — Convicted militia leader Schaeffer Cox has been given more time to file an appeal brief with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Cox was convicted in 2012 of nine federal charges, including conspiracy to kill federal law enforcement officers. He was sentenced in January 2013 to serve nearly 26 years in prison and gave his notice of appeal shortly thereafter. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that Cox had a rocky relationship with his initial appellate attorney. He was allowed to get a new attorney in May. The delay, granted last week, gives Cox and his attorney until Dec. 29 to file their opening briefs. Prosecutors will have until Jan. 28 to respond. — The Associated Press

Fall classic 219 run in Kenai River Marathon
By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion
The streak of sunny days for the Kenai River Marathon continued Sunday as runners from across the country praised the pleasant fall weather that made for ideal race conditions. “It seems to be a beautiful day every year on race day,” said Kenai resident James Tangaro, who finished fourth in the men’s half marathon. “The views of the fall and the colorful leaves are amazing. When you get on Beaver Loop Road you can set a good fast pace.” The ninth annual Kenai River Marathon attracted 219 participants with four race options, a 5 K run, 13-mile half marathon, 26.2-mile marathon or a relay of four that runs the full marathon as a team. Each race started and finished at the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center in Kenai. Peter Svenning from Palm City, Florida, won the marathon with a time of 3 hours, 29 minutes and 2 seconds. Svenning, who was in Anchorage on a business trip, said he decided to come down for the race on the spur of the moment. He said the weather was comfortable compared to running in the Florida heat. “The first 15 miles wasn’t too bad then I got a little tired,” he said. “This is a great temperature for running and the course was beautiful. I was able to keep up a good tempo. I’m glad I came down and got a good workout.” Whitney Bennett, from Anchorage, placed second overall in the marathon nearly five minutes behind Svenning for first in the female division. Bennett,

in her first trip to Kenai, finished her second marathon. She said she shaved 10 minutes off her previous best and averaged an 8-minute mile. Her running coach, Michelle Baxter, from Anchorage, won the women’s Kenai River Marathon last year and encouraged her to try the race. “My plan was to start slow and then scoot up,” Bennett said. “At mile 20 it was a little painful and I slowed down quite a bit, but I made it through. This is a beautiful little town. It makes me want to live here.” The course begins with a run through Old Town Kenai, which gives runners a See RUN, page A-10
Restoration in the works for Healy sign By KRIS CAPPS Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
HEALY — The “Welcome To Healy” sign is looking for a little love — and it may finally have found some. The Denali Chamber of Commerce has agreed to manage fundraising to restore the Healy sign, which is badly in need of renovation. Local businesses and community members are encouraged to donate to the project by mailing a donation to Denali Chamber of Commerce,
‘The sign has become an iconic source of pride for residents and is used widely to promote local businesses.’ — Sonja Schmidt, sign restoration project overseer Re: Healy Sign, P.O. Box 437, Healy, AK 99743. The colorful flowered sign, at the Healy intersection, has been there for about 11 years. It was the culmination of a yearlong high school service learn-
ing class. Former Alaska State Teacher of the Year Sonja Schmidt taught the class and oversaw the project, done entirely by students. “Students first conducted a
needs assessment, then ran a design contest, learned about sign design, took field trips to the Vital Signs studio during planning and construction of the sign,” Schmidt said. Students also “worked with the Denali Borough and the state of Alaska to get permits for the sign, ran a fundraising campaign and helped with grant writing.” Students raised about $4,000. When the sign arrived, several local businesses donated their time and equipment to in-
stall the posts. Students then installed the sign under guidance of the Denali Borough School District maintenance supervisor. “The sign has become an iconic source of pride for residents and is used widely to promote local businesses,” Schmidt said. Photos of the sign regularly appear on websites and tourist brochures. The students who made it happen just celebrated their 10year class reunion and accordSee SIGN, page A-10
Pro-pot group announces support from some parents JUNEAU (AP) — A group supporting the legalization of recreational use of marijuana in Alaska has announced what it calls a statewide coalition of moms and dads supporting the initiative. The coalition was announced last week as part of an online ad launch by the Campaign to
Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol aimed at educating parents “about the benefits of regulating marijuana to keep it away from teens.” The list of supporters includes Juneau Assembly member Jesse Kiehl and former state House Majority Leader Kyle Johansen.
Kiehl told KTOO that he would rather see public safety dollars spent on preventing domestic violence or on cracking down on drugs such as heroin. In August, Police Chief Bryce Johnson told the Juneau Chamber of Commerce enforcement of driving under the influence laws could be a chal-

lenge if the initiative passes. Johnson also expressed concern that marijuana-related DUI cases could increase. A group opposing the initiative, “Big Marijuana. Big Mistake,” said a number of organizations across the state, including the Alaska Association of Chiefs of Police, Alas-
ka Conference of Mayors and Alaska Academy of Family Physicians, also are against the measure. Voters will decide in November whether to legalize and regulate the recreational use of marijuana for those 21 years of age and older. See POT, page A-10

New Begich ad features Murkowski JUNEAU (AP) — Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich is again running an ad touting his work with Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski. It comes after Murkowski earlier in the campaign called on Begich to stop running a similar ad. And it comes days after Murkowski was featured in an ad endorsing Begich’s GOP rival, Dan Sullivan. The Begich ad is narrated by Margie Brown, a former president of Cook Inlet Region, Inc., an Alaska Native regional corporation. Brown says she has voted for Murkowski and will vote for Begich. Begich has sought to cast himself as an independent voice for Alaska, not beholden to party. His critics have tried to tie Begich to President Barack Obama and to Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid. A Murkowski spokesman did not have an immediate comment.

LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — Thousands of runners took part Saturday in the sixth Dempsey Challenge, the first time the cancer support fundraiser in honor of Patrick Dempsey’s mother has been held since her death. “This year’s Dempsey Challenge is difficult without our mother but she is with us in our hearts and minds,” Dempsey and his sisters, Mary and Alicia, said in a statement. “We are reminded of her strength in all of the survivors, friends, patients and family who join us this weekend in celebrating hope.” For five years, their mother Amanda Dempsey led the survivor walk that opened the event. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1997 and battled multiple recurrences in the years that followed. She died in March at 79. Patrick Dempsey, who plays Dr. Derek Shepherd on TV’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” launched the Dempsey Challenge because of his mother’s battles. The Sun-Journal reported that Dempsey told the crowd Saturday at the starting line: “This is one of the most important days of my life.” The actor joked around and chatted with participants, and he signed autographs and posed for pictures with fans. Money raised from the event goes to The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing, which he and his sisters created in 2008 in partnership with the Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. Last year’s Dempsey Challenge raised $1.1 million for the center, which provides free support, education and integrative medicine services for anyone impacted by cancer.

Calif. adopts ‘yes means yes’ sex-assault rule SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown announced Sunday that he has signed a bill that makes California the first in the nation to define when “yes means yes” and adopt requirements for colleges to follow when investigating sexual assault reports. State lawmakers last month approved SB967 by Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, as states and universities across the U.S. are under pressure to change how they handle rape allegations. Campus sexual assault victims and women’s advocacy groups delivered petitions to Brown’s office on Sept. 16 urging him to sign the bill. De Leon has said the legislation will begin a paradigm shift in how college campuses in California prevent and investigate sexual assaults. Rather than using the refrain “no means no,” the definition of consent under the bill requires “an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage
in sexual activity.” “Every student deserves a learning environment that is safe and healthy,” De Leon said in a statement Sunday night. “The State of California will not allow schools to sweep rape cases under the rug. We’ve shifted the conversation regarding sexual assault to one of prevention, justice, and healing.” The legislation says silence or lack of resistance does not constitute consent. Under the bill, someone who is drunk, drugged, unconscious or asleep cannot grant consent. Lawmakers say consent can be nonverbal, and universities with similar policies have outlined examples as a nod of the head or moving in closer to the person. Advocates for victims of sexual assault supported the change as one that will provide consistency across campuses and challenge the notion that victims must have resisted assault to have valid complaints.
“The affirmative consent standard will help change the revictimizing, insensitive reporting procedures, instead allowing students to seek help and hold perpetrators accountable,” said Meghan Warner, chair of the University of California Associated Students Sexual Assault Commission. “This is a major victory for all California students, not just survivors. I hope the rest of the nation will follow suit.” The bill requires training for faculty reviewing complaints so that victims are not asked inappropriate questions when filing complaints. The bill also requires access to counseling, health care services and other resources. When lawmakers were considering the bill, critics said it was overreaching and sends universities into murky legal waters. Some Republicans in the Assembly questioned whether statewide legislation is an appropriate venue to define sexual consent between two people.
There was no opposition from Republicans in the state Senate. Gordon Finley, an adviser to the National Coalition for Men, wrote an editorial asking Brown not to sign the bill. He argued that “this campus rape crusade bill” presumes the guilt of the accused. SB967 applies to all California post-secondary schools, public and private, that receive state money for student financial aid. The California State University and University of California systems are backing the legislation after adopting similar consent standards this year. UC President Janet Napolitano recently announced that the system will voluntarily establish an independent advocate to support sexual assault victims on every campus. An advocacy office also is a provision of the federal Survivor Outreach and Support Campus Act proposed by U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Susan Davis of San Diego, both Democrats.
Fonda gets personal at Rape Foundation brunch BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Jane Fonda told an audience of activists and philanthropists that her mother had been sexually abused as a child before eventually committing suicide at 42. Fonda shared the personal story at an event celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Rape Treatment Center, which provides comprehensive free treatment for sexual assault victims. She hosted the Rape Foundation’s annual fundraising brunch Sunday at billionaire Ron Burkle’s Greenacres estate in Beverly Hills. Fonda said that while writing her memoirs, she reviewed her mother’s medical records and discovered she had been sexually abused when she was 8 years old. Frances Ford
Seymour committed suicide when Fonda was 12. “The minute that I read that, everything fell into place,” Fonda said from a small stage set up in Burkle’s sprawling backyard. She said sexual violence is “epidemic,” vowing, “I will support the Rape Treatment Center for the rest of my life.” Gail Abarbanel, founder of the Rape Treatment Cen-

tens of millions of homes. Two-thirds of Americans watch the games on TV. Having an NFL team heightens your city’s identity, and the economic spillover is considerable. The league generates nearly $10 billion a year, making it the world’s most successful sports enterprise. At its best, football brings individuals and communities together, reuniting old friends and introducing new ones in ways that strengthen the social fabric. And some players and coaches truly are exemplary public figures and community leaders. But contrary to what today’s TV ratings may indicate, the NFL is not too big to fail, especially if its darker side continues to gain the upper hand. Since January 2000, there have been 732 arrests (involving 539 NFL players) in connection with various crimes ranging from disorderly conduct to murder. That’s out of a pool of 1,700 players at any given moment. Over that span of years, the Vikings have led the league in arrested players — 44. That’s a scandalous amount of police activity for a team and for a league that tries to portray all of its players as model citizens. But how to crack down? The NFL and its teams face a conundrum. Theirs is a violent game, and getting more so. The increase over the years in velocity and physical impact has been remarkable. Players are handsomely rewarded for the violence they inflict and absorb. It’s not surprising, then, that among those people who football attracts are those who may find it difficult to turn off the violence and intimidation when dealing with ordinary life. Every NFL team has its share of bad actors. The basic problem is that high moral character doesn’t win football games. As long as winning at any cost remains the overwhelming priority, the game will continue its downward slide. Women will continue to turn away. More and more families will forbid sons to play football. The NFL will become eventually a base amusement for society’s lowest rung. Commissioner Roger Goodell should remember that the sport of boxing once held mass appeal. For the NFL to sustain its popularity, Goodell, team owners and the players association should convene a blue-ribbon commission to establish a fair, consistent and transparent set of behavior standards. It should be clear to everyone what actions the league will take when a player is charged, when he’s indicted and when he’s convicted. Standards should be augmented by rigorous education on what it means to be a public figure and a solid citizen. Salary structures and player evaluations should include components that reward good character. — Star Tribune, Minneapolis, Minnesota Sept. 20

Martin: Agriculture, fire danger are top priorities
M
y main concerns for the entire Kenai Peninsula are increasing our own food production and reducing fire danger and damage. Reducing wild fire danger and damage and increasing food production can happen at the same time. Everyone knows how lucky it was that our recent major fire burned many acres out Funny River Road with little property damage. Only the old timers remember the wild fires that jumped the Kenai River and burned through Kalifornsky Beach Road. Ciechanski Road, East and West Poppy, Gaswell and Echo Lake Roads over fifty years ago. The Forestry experts say the fuel bio mass is now back up to a critical level. Also, most people do not know that this area was set aside for veteran’s preference homesteads at the end of World War II. It was determined at that time to be the best available number one agricultural soil in Alaska. In fact, National Geographic Magazine reports that recent satellite mapping identifies the western Kenai Peninsula as the largest undeveloped number one soil in the world. Soils like this grow dense forests and then burn again and again. This is an asset that needs to be producing food rather than fires. Land in agricultural production is a good fire break.

have been honored to serve as Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor for the last three years. I have received a great deal of support and encouragement since I announced my plans to seek reelection and greatly appreciate all of the support — thank you. These past three years as mayor have gone by quickly and, for the most part, very smoothly. I’ve approached the job and responsibilities as I outlined during the 2011 campaign with strong administrative oversight, responsible budget and financial management, and an open door policy. I’ve built a strong administrative team to help manage the challenges and issues that have come up and we’ve been responsive and attentive to concerns expressed from residents throughout the Kenai Peninsula. In addition to the normal responsibilities of administering local government and the budget, we’ve also tackled other issues of importance, including pursuing completion of our municipal land entitlement, advancing efforts on the North Road extension, improving our health care infrastructure, managing many capital projects, and maintaining and improving our school facilities. We’ve also successfully dealt with numerous natural disasters, such as flooding, snow storms, wind storms and most recently the Funny River fire. My administration has also initiated ef-

My goals and priorities will not change significantly over the next three years. Here are the areas where I will focus the most attention: • Education is our most important responsibility. Providing a good education for our children equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to seize opportunities and achieve success throughout their lives. • Maintaining and improving our Borough-owned roads are, and will remain, priorities. Roads are a critical part of our infrastructure and directly impact our residents. • Health care costs are constantly increasing and have many direct and indirect impacts to residents. The cost of health care has direct impacts to personal and family budgets. Indirect impacts include access to health care and the increasing expense in both public and private sector budgets, which can lead to a loss of jobs, an increase in taxes… or both. • The LNG and Gas Line project will

significantly impact the Kenai Peninsula Borough and residents. It will be important to identify and plan for those impacts, as well as the economic opportunities and challenges that will accompany such a large project. I encourage you to examine my record as Mayor from 1996-99 and over the last three years. My record reflects conservative and responsible budget management, strong administrative oversight, an open door policy and a good working relationship with the Borough Assembly and borough residents. I have the experience, energy and commitment to tackle the issues and challenges the Kenai Peninsula Borough will face over the next several years and will dedicate myself, as Mayor, to responsible management of our borough government. The Kenai Peninsula is a great place to live, work and to raise our families. However, we continue to face economic, education, public safety, and solid waste management issues, multiple issues with our hospitals and health care, as well as the continued need to improve and maintain roads. With your help and a responsible approach, together we’ll keep the Kenai Peninsula Borough great. Thank you for reading this article. I would appreciate your vote on October 7th.

Letters to the Editor Rhetoric paints inaccurate picture of local education system C

A recent opinion piece on a local radio station’s website made the oft heard claim that our country’s public school system is failing. The comments were broad, without citation and stated that all improvement attempts have failed. And while there is no doubt that there is room for improvement in all schools both private and public, there should be little confusion as to whether such a generalization includes our public schools on the Kenai. Anyone who has followed the district’s progress will note that more of our students graduate on time, academically perform better, have more career training opportunities and are more likely to be steered to an appropriate next step after high school than ever before. Our elementary schools are teaching children to read at a faster rate and have a much better ability to identify and remediate students who are behind. On the operational side our processes, including how we respond to student safety challenges are improved. In sum, our schools and school district are better than they were; they are not failing. The author devotes much of his comments to the idea that
proper balance between sales tax and property tax? Are there inequities within the borough’s tax structure that should be addressed? Bearup: The current balance between sales tax and property appears to be equitable. As the needs of the community and infrastructure change there is always a possibility that a change in the balance could be necessary. The balance between the two should always be monitored with vigilance. However, any change contemplated would be subject to voter approval. Martin: I do not feel the Borough has figured out the solution to this ever changing balance. We have to keep it forefront and constantly work on it. Navarre: I think we have a pretty good balance between sales and property taxes. I think that the borough’s tax structure, however, is due for a comprehensive review, to determine if changes should be considered and to identify issues that may be developing that could or should be addressed before they become future problems. 4. What steps can the borough take to improve access to health care while maintaining the viability of its publically owned hospitals?
Bearup: The borough can encourage health care education to make citizens aware of the medical resources available to them throughout the borough. The borough can participate in the sponsorship of health fairs, community awareness programs, immunization programs and assorted outreach programs. The borough should also encourage healthy lifestyles via community wellness, safety programs and a focus on prevention. The borough should encourage 3.

vouchers will magically save public education. The basic logic of this argument is that humans, given choice, will make the best possible decision. And while that may hold true for buying a quart of milk, it has not showed to be true for children living in poverty here on the Kenai. Our schools of choice (charter schools) are some of the highest performing elementary schools in the state. Yet, they also have the lowest rates of poverty for our district. Our parents who are poor are not lining up to enroll their children in the local charters. There is thus, little reason to believe that a voucher system would do the same. In sum, I fear that vouchers would instead concentrate children living in poverty and not as is suggested, level the playing field. The author’s complaint that public schools are too expensive by association suggests that the Kenai’s residents are gouged by tax payments for schools. This is also without merit. With the state using oil taxes to pay for about 2/3rds of our school district’s expenses, it is clear that local residents do not have to foot that much of the school bill. As a way to illustrate this, the local amount of property tax that goes to our schools from a tax payment on a residential property that is assessed at $250,000, is about $420 per year. Or, about $1.20 per day. The borough sales tax that goes to schools is so heavily dependent on tourist revenue
that residents should smile and not sigh when in July, they see a jam-packed Fred Meyer parking lot full of cars owned by people who do not live here. Finally, it is easy to take shots at public education without looking close to home. Such polarizing rhetoric of failing schools must also include a review of our local education picture. When you do this, you find a picture that is not dim. Rather, it is bright and getting brighter. Dr. Steve Atwater, superintendent, Kenai Peninsula Borough School District

of our children will be a primary and significant focus of my administration. When the budget is submitted it will be given full consideration with an open mind of funding to the cap. The scholastic needs of our children is a very important part of the budgetary process. Retention of teaching staff and assuring that students and teachers have access to the latest technology will be encouraged and supported by my administration. One of my platform points is : Teachers + Technology = B.E.S.T. (Better Educated Students Today.). I will encourage and support the investment in the future of our children, through education.

Around the World Pro-democracy protests expand in Hong Kong after police use tear gas on demonstrators HONG KONG — Pro-democracy protests expanded in Hong Kong on Monday, a day after demonstrators upset over Beijing’s decision to limit political reforms defied onslaughts of tear gas and appeals from Hong Kong’s top leader to go home. And with rumors swirling, Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying reassured the public that speculation that the Chinese army might intervene was untrue. “I hope the public will keep calm. Don’t be misled by the rumors. Police will strive to maintain social order, including ensuring smooth traffic and ensuring the public safety,” said the Beijing-backed Leung, who is deeply unpopular. He added, “When they carry out their duties, they will use their maximum discretion.” The city’s transport department said that besides road closures in areas such as Causeway Bay, Wan Chai and Admiralty — where the protests have been focused — main roads have also been blocked by demonstrators in Mong Kok. More than 200 bus routes have been canceled or diverted in a city dependent on public transport. Subway exits have also been closed or blocked near protest areas.
A GOP-run Senate could block and provoke, but Obama could veto its biggest goals WASHINGTON — How much difference will it make if Republicans win the Senate majority on Nov. 4, joining the GOP-run House against a Democratic White House? Congress’ persistent gridlock is due largely, but not entirely, to the current power split in the two chambers. But even if Republicans add Senate control to their safe House majority, big legislative roadblocks will remain. President Barack Obama still can veto legislation. Should Democrats lose six or more Senate seats, ceding the majority, they can use the power of the filibuster to thwart dozens of GOP initiatives. Republicans have employed this tactic from the minority side. In the House, House Republicans’ deep philosophical divisions will remain. That will further complicate effort by Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to pass bills without help from Democrats, who generally demand significant concessions.
In glitzy New York speech, PM Modi says India won’t look back under his leadership NEW YORK — India’s new prime minister, once shunned by Washington, appeared before an enthusiastic crowd in a famed New York sports arena Sunday where he appealed for help from Indian-Americans to help develop his country’s economy, vowing that under his leadership, the South Asian nation wouldn’t look back. A day after addressing a hushed U.N. General Assembly, where headphone-wearing delegates rarely break into a smile, Narendra Modi received a tumultuous welcome from upward of 18,000 people. He struck a chord by announcing plans to simplify the immigration bureaucracy for Indians living abroad, and called on them to “join hands to serve our mother India.” A dazzling, Bollywood-style show with dancers warmed up the crowd before Modi appeared. About 30 U.S. lawmakers attended — ringing the stage as the Indian leader came into the auditorium under a spotlight like a boxing champion. The event had the feel of a political rally, and the audience periodically broke out into chants of “Modi! Modi!” On Monday, Modi will meet with President Barack Obama at the White House, a meeting that both sides hope can improve strained relations between the world’s two largest democracies. Being courted by Washington marks a major change since 2005, when the U.S. denied Modi a visa for his alleged complicity in sectarian violence in his home state of Gujarat.
Body recovery underway in Japan By EMILY WANG Associated Press
KISO, Japan — Military and other rescue workers began airlifting more than two dozen bodies from the ashblanketed peak of a Japanese volcano on Monday morning, as family members of the missing waited at a nearby elementary school. At least 31 people are believed to have died. Four victims were flown down Sunday, and rescuers returned to 3,067-meter (10,062-foot) Mt. Ontake on Monday morning to recover the remaining 27. Exactly how they died remains unclear, whether from toxic gases, suffocating ash, falling rocks or other causes. Scenes broadcast live on Japanese TV station TBS showed soldiers carrying yellow body bags one-by-one to a camouflage military helicopter that had landed in a relatively wide-open area of the now bleak landscape, its rotors still spinning. The first bodies were flown to a nearby athletic field, its
green grass and surrounding forested hills contrasting with Mt. Ontake’s ash-gray peak in the background, a reduced plume still emerging from its crater. There, they were transferred to white police vans, while two dozen officers struggled to hold up long blue tarps under the spinning rotors, blocking the view from the media. The four brought down Sunday have been confirmed dead, said Takehiko Furukoshi, a Nagano prefecture crisis-management official. The 27 others are listed as having heart and lung failure, the customary way for Japanese authorities to describe a body until police doctors can examine it. Saturday’s eruption was the first fatal one in modern times at Mount Ontake, a popular climbing destination 210 kilometers (130 miles) west of Tokyo on the main Japanese island of Honshu. A similar eruption occurred in 1979, but no one died. Japanese media reported that some of the bodies were
found in a lodge near the summit and that others were buried in ash up to 50 centimeters (20 inches) deep. Police said only two of the four confirmed dead had been identified. Both were men, ages 23 and 45. Mount Ontake erupted shortly before noon at perhaps the worst possible time, with at least 250 people taking advantage of a beautiful fall Saturday to go for a hike. The blast spewed large white plumes of gas and ash high into the sky, blotted out the midday sun and blanketed the surrounding area in ash. Hundreds were initially trapped on the slopes, though most made their way down by Saturday night. About 40 people who were stranded overnight came down on Sunday. Many were injured, and some had to be rescued by helicopters or carried down on stretchers. By nightfall, all the injured had been brought down, officials said. Japan’s Fire and Disaster Management Agency tallied 40 injured people, three seri-
ously, and said it was trying to update the number still missing. Furukoshi said rescuers gave priority to helping the survivors come down, leaving behind those who were obviously without hope. Survivors told Japanese media that they were pelted by rocks. One man said he and others went into the basement of a lodge, fearing that the rocks would penetrate the roof. He covered himself with a futon, a thin Japanese mattress, for protection. “Even small eruptions can cause major damage if people are around, as they get hit by rocks that come flying,” Nagoya University volcanologist Koshun Yamaoka said at a news conference Sunday. Volcanoes can also kill by spewing toxic gases and lungchoking ash. Shinichi Shimohara, who works at a shrine at the foot of the mountain, said he was on his way up Saturday morning when he heard a loud noise that sounded like strong winds followed by “thunder” as the volcano erupted.
Assault ruled out in death of Utah family By MARTIN GRIFFITH Associated Press
SPRINGVILLE, Utah — A preliminary autopsy has ruled out any violent assault in the deaths of five Utah family members including three children, police said Sunday. There was no evidence of stabbing or gunshot wounds or other visible injuries to the five found dead Saturday night in their home in Springville, about 45 miles south of Salt Lake City, investigators said. The five were identified Sunday as Benjamin Strack, 37, his wife, Kristi, 36, and
Police: Ferguson officer shot and wounded; police say no link to protests over Brown killing FERGUSON, Missouri — Authorities searched Sunday for a suspect in the shooting of a police officer in Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb where there have been angry protests since a white officer fatally shot an unarmed 18-year-old black man last month. Although there were two protests about the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown happening when the officer was shot Saturday night, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at a news conference early Sunday that he didn’t think they were related to the wounding of the officer. St. Louis County Police Sgt. Brian Schellman, a police spokesman, said in an email that only one suspect was involved in the shooting, not two as earlier reported. The suspect was standing outside a closed community center when the officer approached Saturday night. The suspect fled and the officer gave chase. That’s when the man turned and shot him in the arm, police said. — The Associated Press

three of their children, Benson, 14, Emery, 12, and Zion, 11. Police Lt. Dave Caron said the cause of death has not been determined, and will not be until an analysis of blood samples is concluded. The medical examiner’s office provided no time frame for the release of results of laboratory testing. While a test of air in the house by firefighters did not find any carbon monoxide, investigators have not ruled that out as the cause of death. The front door of the house was open and the back door was cracked open before fire-
fighters arrived, Caron said, and the gas could have ventilated before the test. Asked whether foul play has been ruled out, Caron told The Associated Press, “I don’t rule out anything ... We haven’t ruled out anything except there was no violent trauma. We’re going to look at everything. “I do know when I was in there (house) I didn’t see anything that would suggest a struggle ... I saw nothing like that,” he added. The bodies were found shortly before 8 p.m. in the parents’ bedroom by an older son, who went to the duplex
after he did not hear from the family as expected, according to investigators. The son’s name was not released. Caron said someone either saw or talked to the family Saturday morning, but he was unsure about the last person to make contact with them. “It’s one of those things we’re going to take it one step at a time,” he said, adding the next step is to await the analysis of blood samples. The duplex where the family lived is located on a road leading to a high school in the city of 30,000 located just south of Provo.

Nationals’ Zimmerman tosses no-hitter By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Jordan Zimmermann pitched the first no-hitter for the Washington Nationals, the gem preserved when defensive replacement Steven Souza Jr. made a diving catch in left field for the final out in a 1-0 victory over the Miami Marlins in a regular-season finale Sunday.

49ers hold off Philadelphia By The Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Frank Gore caught a career-best 55-yard touchdown and ran for 119 yards in his first 100-yard game this year, leading the San Francisco 49ers past Philadelphia 26-21 on Sunday to hand the Eagles their first loss. The 49ers delivered a late goal-line stand as they avoided their first three-game losing streak under fourth-year coach Jim Harbaugh, containing the league’s top passer in Nick Foles. He threw two incomplete passes from the 1 in the waning moments. On a day the 49ers (2-2) gave up big plays on special teams, Gore came through. Colin Kaepernick also threw a touchdown pass to Stevie Johnson and Phil Dawson kicked four field goals.

Gordon nabs Dover victory DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jeff Gordon doused Team Penske’s hot streak with a champagne bath in Victory Lane. Sticky and sweet, Gordon had secured an emphatic automatic spot in the next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. But Gordon’s entry in the field of 12 was all but guaranteed even before he dominated the closing laps Sunday at Dover International Speedway. What wasn’t so sure was that Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne was coming along for the ride. Kahne survived a bumpy 400 miles, falling four laps back be-
fore rallying for a 20th-place finish to nab the 12th and final spot in the field. “Kasey made it a pretty long day,” owner Rick Hendrick said. “We were watching the monitor at the end of the race hoping that we didn’t have a caution and Jeff could win it and Kasey could get in. I didn’t know exactly how close it was going to be until I watched that monitor.” NASCAR tried to inject its 10-race Chase format with a revamped formula for crowning a champion this season. Under NASCAR’s elimination format, four drivers will be knocked out after every third race.

Europe cruises to Ryder Cup win GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) — Europe added another chapter of Ryder Cup dominance on Sunday behind Rory McIlroy, two big rallies and a rookie who hit the shot of his life to give this week a finish it deserved. Jamie Donaldson, unaware he already had done enough to retain the Ryder Cup, hit a 9-iron that settled 3 feet from the cup on the 15th hole. Keegan Bradley walked onto the green, saw Donaldson’s ball next to the hole, removed his cap and conceded the

birdie. And the celebration was on. Europe won the Ryder Cup for the third straight time, and the eighth time in the last 10 tries. “It came down to me to close it out, but it’s all about the team,” Donaldson said. “Everyone played their heart out to retain the Ryder Cup. And that’s what it’s all about.” McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Justin Rose made sure the Americans would not get their redemption from the meltdown
at Medinah two years ago as the first team to blow a fourpoint lead at home. McIlroy was 6-under par on his first six holes and trounced Rickie Fowler to set the tone. The Americans put plenty of red on the board early, just not for long. McDowell was 3-down after five holes and Rose was four behind after six holes. McDowell rallied to beat Jordan Spieth, while Rose earned a halve against Hunter Mahan. Martin Kaymer, who holed the winning point at Medinah,
put Europe on the cusp of victory when he chipped in for eagle on the 16th to beat Bubba Watson. That set the stage for Donaldson. “The shot of my life,” he called it. Europe captain Paul McGinley, who spoke all week about a template for success, stood by the 15th green with the rest of the players who had finished their matches. Donaldson was mobbed by his teammates, another happy occasion for Europe.

glimpse of the mouth of the Kenai River and the surrounding mountains. Then the marathon route follows Bridge Access Road across the Kenai River down Kalifornsky Beach Road and through Soldotna then back up the Unity Trail along the Kenai Spur Highway for the finish at the Visitor center. After the race, competitors were rewarded with a beer from Kassik’s Brewery. Former Soldotna resident Andy Liebner won the half marathon in 1:14:42 and finished with the fastest race pace, a 5:43-per-mile average. Liebner, a 2001 Soldotna High graduate, now resides from Cheboygan, Michigan. Liebner won the Class 4A boys state cross-country running championship in 2000. Sharon Ehasz, from Anchorage, posted the fasted women’s half marathon time of 1:41:44. Anchorage resident Michelle
Fabry placed second in the half marathon, despite battling a cold. “I felt stuffed up and miserable the first few miles and almost didn’t run today,” Fabry said. “But I didn’t want to quit. I started out slow and then kicked up my pace halfway. When other people started slowing down, I got into a good pace.” Ray Stuckey, 71, of Soldotna, completed his first half marathon in preparation for another half marathon he plans to race in Florida in January. He said he trained by running in the Salmon Series at Tsalteshi Trails and surprised himself by beating his per-mile pace goal by nearly two minutes. “There were some people I wanted to keep up with but they were too far ahead and I could see them gradually get a little further over time,” Stuckey said. “It’s nice to have the beer as incentive at the end.” John Sovocool from Cooperstown, New York, who finished in fourth place overall in the marathon, continued his goal

‘I like how this is a good communitysupported race and I appreciated the stations that handed out water.’ — Nina Schwinghammer, runner from Anchorage “Mitscoots,” is inspired by a friend who owns Americanmade sock company based in Austin, Texas. The four represented the team with neon green shirts and tall baby blue Mitscoots socks. Frapp said for every pair sold another pair goes to homeless people in need. The company also employs those less fortunate, he said. Anchorage resident Nina Schwinghammer said the Kenai River Marathon is her favorite race to run. Two weeks ago she ran in the Equinox Marathon in Fairbanks in the pouring rain. The conditions on Sunday were the complete opposite and more entertaining, she said. “I got bumped by a car while crossing a road and a llama ran

hear all our hard work noticed.” All the proceeds of the race go to the Kenai Community Foundation to promote the Kenai Parks and Recreation Department. Last year’s race raised $5,000, which was earmarked for the Enchanted Forest design planned for Municipal Park, Beech said. Iditarod legend DeeDee Jonrowe, from Willow, was thrilled after she crossed the finish line with a time of 4:18:42, which qualified her for the Boston Marathon. While she is preparing to avenge last year’s disappointing Iditarod race in which she scratched for only the third time in 32 years, she said she has always enjoyed coming to race on the Kenai Peninsula, whether with dogs or on foot. “People are so nice here and I appreciate all the support from the volunteers, she said. “I have raced all over the world and nobody has anything on the Kenai.”
along with me as I ran by the ranch,” Schwinghammer said. “I was trying to get under four hours but nature called and I had to pee. I like how this is a good community-supported race and I appreciated the stations that handed out water.” Johnna Beech, president of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, said the chamber has lucked out with the weather the last four years she has organized the race. Beech has participated in the race the last five years. She said she had a good pace and had a great time talking with other runners. “I never tire of the runners’ comments about our enthusiastic volunteers and hospitable Reach Dan Balmer at daniel. town,” she said. “It is nice to balmer@peninsulaclarion.com

ing to Schmidt, they “are mindful of the impact their work has had on promoting the sense of community of Healy.” Local volunteers such as Craig Schmidt and Kevin Hamel have maintained the sign periodically through the years, but it needs more work. The sign needs a facelift after years of being exposed to wind, sun, rain and snow. One board on the northern side of the sign is gone, perhaps the victim of high winds. The laminate on the back began peeling off about three years ago. Kevin Hamel “gracious-

ly had the varnishing done,” Schmidt said. The company that made the sign, Vital Signs, is preparing an estimate of the cost to repair. Schmidt, who retired, but kept her hand in this project, is anxious for the community to embrace this project. She hopes everyone will help to make the sign something the community can be proud of. “Let’s make sure those students come back on their 20year reunion and once again can have their picture taken by their sign,” she said. It is important to her that students still feel the glow of success from that project so many years later. Who knows? It might even inspire other students to take on other service projects in the community, she said. can fix any problems with it. “And the first thing I plan to do is talk to legislators about child resistant containers,” Kiehl said. “I think that’s important, it’s not in there now. But there’s never been an initiative that didn’t need some tweaks.”

Above: A game of musical chairs gets rambunctious Thursday during homecoming festivities at Soldotna High School in Soldotna. Right: Students and teachers at Kenai Central High School celebrated homecoming week with a variety of themed days including Wednesday Sept. 24, 2014 which was senior citizen day.
You can’t appreciate the good without the bad The phrase “summer reading” has a negative connotation and gives even those many years out of school a sense of dread. Over the summer I was assigned to read “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck. I sluggishly began to read the dense novel in August, just weeks before my deadline. My poor attitude in response to my assignment dramatically changed. My distracted, complaining thoughts of what I else I could be doing with my time altered as I neared the end of the book and I started to enjoy it. Studying and analyzing the text in school gave me further appreciation of the depth of the writing, and of my accomplishment. When faced with a difficult task, all of us, more likely than not, inwardly groan. Challenges force us to step outside our safely familiar, ordinary way of life. This fearful response prohibits progress. A few of my friends on Soldotna High School’s swim team added their personal example to this concept. During their workout at practice, they push themselves. While swimming a hard set,
they often think to themselves negative thoughts that mirror their aching bodies. However, after their completion of the exhausting exercise, they take pride in what they have accomplished and often V erbatim even think that they could have tried C laire harder and gone incaid K faster. The question “Why do bad things happen to good people?” commonly accompanies challenges. This question parallels “Why do athletes work out?” Without an exercise of trials, people will not progress to their fullest potential. I do not regret facing any challenges in my life, even those as avoidable as struggling through a difficult novel, because of what they have taught me and shaped me
into the person I am today. In the book “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, which is now a major motion picture, a society exists without emotion, challenges, pain, or true happiness. Events materialize that bring them what they previously lacked. They soon find that they can’t fully appreciate or understand joy without its antithesis: suffering. When precious metals such as gold and silver are mined, they contain impurities. With a fire a refiner must purge the metals of their imperfections within in order to yield their purest and most valuable state. We, like the treasured metals, must face trials to reach our full potential. The highest level applying this concept is to actively seek out challenges in desire of the blessings and growth they bring. Whether that is reading arduous literature, exercising despite the physical pain, or facing your weaknesses, you will become stronger in every category. Claire Kincaid is a senior at Soldotna High School.
Leadership institute brings high school students to KPC Project GRAD Kenai Peninsula, founded in 2003, is a non-profit school improvement program that partners with the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and seven local communities (Nanwalek, Nikolaevsk, Ninilchik, Port Graham, Razdolna, Tebughna in Tyonek and Voznesenka). It draws on the national GRAD model of innovative and research-based educational reform, tailored to this unique and culturally-diverse rural site. The project aims to ensure a rigorous public education for Alaskan students, especially those from economically disadvantaged communities, so that more students graduate from high school and enter college prepared to excel. Project GRAD KP will host a Leadership Institute at KPC’s Kenai River Campus and at the Residence Hall from Oct. 19-21. To date, 33 students have been scheduled to attend the event. The participants will be split into two groups. The first
K enai P eninsula C ollege A round C ampus group will consist of 10-12th graders from Ninilchik, all serious college-minded students. The second group is all high school seniors from various rural communities who will be attending a Native Leadership event in Anchorage. Both groups will attend KPBSD Career Day. Both groups will also participate in KRC Res Life’s Taste of College Program, staying in the Residence Hall, interacting with faculty and staff members and attending classes that interest them. According to Tammie Willis, KRC associate director of residence life, some of the group will have to seek accommodations at

a local hotel. “Because of our current occupancy, we are not able to accommodate all 33 of them in the residence hall.” The Taste of College program was developed by the Res Life staff as a mechanism to provide a real-life collegiate experience for students who might not otherwise have such an opportunity. Prior to coming to campus, Project GRAD staff work with students to compile lists of careers and academic interests so that their experiences can be individually tailored. Students will be exposed to a myriad of college-related resources by staff from financial aid, career and community engagement, counseling and advising and rural and native student services. It is anticipated that other community resource providers will also be on hand to provide information. According to the Project GRAD KP website, in the first graduating class inSee COLLEGE, page B-2

If you would like your student to take a bus home at 4:15 p.m. (Monday through Friday only) please contact Tamra Wear at 260-7036 or twear@kpbsd.k12.ak.us to talk about route availability.

Each way serves a different purpose. If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: parchment.com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace… rather than the US mail… to get to its destination, which is much faster! All transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way! A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades. If you order your transcript when we are in second semester, you will need to make sure you choose “next grading period” when you go on to Parchment that way your transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.

Lonely single man with full household wants to date again — LONELY BY DESIGN IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR LONELY: Explain your living situation to the women you meet in much the same way as you have explained it to me. You are taking care of your 8-year-old niece with the help of your mother because if you hadn’t stepped Abigail Van Buren up, she would have become a ward of the state. Any mature woman who is worth her salt will respect that, just as I do. Immature women who are only looking for a good time — or a meal ticket — will probably run in the opposite direction, which is a good thing. You won’t find what you’re looking for in bars as you may have done in the past. You would probably have better luck if you join a group like Parents Without Partners or ask some of your married friends if they know someone nice.
DEAR ABBY: My family and I were watching a popular annual awards show recently. Like most of these, this one included an “In Memoriam” segment in which was featured a slideshow of the photos and names of people from the field who had died during the year. The segment was well done and very meaningful. When it was over and the lights went back up, the audience clapped. My family applauded, too. That made me feel uncomfortable, so I didn’t join in. What are your thoughts on applause at a memorial tribute? — TO CLAP OR NOT TO CLAP DEAR T.C.O.N.T.C.: Audiences clap for many reasons — among them, a spontaneous gesture of emotion or to show appreciation. (Some may do it because everyone else is doing it.) However, in this circumstance, it is not required or prohibited. As long as the applause is sincere, I think it is appropriate. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Hints from Heloise
Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Sagittarius. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 29, 2014: This year you are likely to have a different outlook on life. As a result, you will want to make a lot of adjustments and changes. Let go of what no longer works. In the next few years, many opportunities will head your way. Your circle of friends and acquaintances will grow. Your influences will be felt in areas that are significant for you. If you are single, and you would like to change your status, you are very likely to encounter Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you achieve a mutual goal, which adds to the level of contentment that exists between you. SAGITTARIUS encourages you to open up more. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You’ll draw inspiration from others’ ideas. You might not agree with someone, nor might he or she with you, so detach in order to keep the peace. Try to consider what this person really means to you. Tonight: Accept a caring gesture for exactly what it is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Relate directly to an individual who has a way of affecting you deeply. You two are very different, and the results of you avoiding certain matters will not be pleasant. Leave nothing to serendipity. Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert on the way home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Others seem to make a

big splash wherever they are. You could feel somewhat intimidated by them. Step back and note the good ideas being presented. Know that you still will be able to proceed in your chosen direction. Tonight: A friend could be full of surprises! CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Remain at the helm of the ship, even if you feel distracted. An older person might be more unpredictable than you have ever noticed before. Refuse to stand on ceremony; simply smile and move on. Eye a purchase for your home carefully. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to add more zest to your day. Others probably will thank you for your smile. You’ll hear some news or see a situation that could shock you. Given some time, you will understand the dynamics better. Tonight: Ever playful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could be more in your own head than you realize. As a result, others might find it difficult to communicate with you. Take some time to realize who you are angry with or what is upsetting you. Try to get that situation settled first. Tonight: Happy at home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might need to screen calls and readjust your schedule. On the other hand, you could decide to stay on course. If you do, expect a snag or two along the way. Someone else will understand where you are coming from only after you explain your response. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Be aware of the costs of pro-

ceeding as you have been. You could be very tired and withdrawn. Know when to say “enough,” as it will help you to avoid a hassle. If you can prevent it now, you will be much happier as a result. Tonight: Balance your checkbook first. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH What seems clear to you might be obscure to someone else. You are direct and forceful, and it would not be surprising if you were to lose your temper. A friend will come to the rescue, but you might find it difficult to take back words already spoken. Tonight: All smiles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to step back and consider your options. Even if you have a busy schedule, you’ll need some thinking time. Someone you have to answer to could be very caring yet usually difficult. Interact with those you can count on. Tonight: Make it a personal night. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A friend will demonstrate an enormous amount of caring. A discussion will point you in a new direction. Others seem to be more than willing to do whatever you want. You always appreciate your friends, but make the extra effort to show it now. Tonight: Where the gang is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Honor a change of pace. You will want to follow through on a project and get it done. You will not allow distraction to go on for too long; however, you could have a lot of requests from people who would like some extra time with you. Tonight: A must appearance.
Athletes should be reflective Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about athletic clothing: “My biggest concern is the number of athletes out on the roads at sunset wearing their black shorts and shirts. I do not think they realize how nearly invisible they are to drivers. Bike riders, please brighten up your red rear lights and your front light. Walkers and runners, light-colored clothing would be a big help, along with reflectors.” — L.B. in Coastal Florida My oh my! This is a major safety problem, and one that can be very dangerous for all parties! Anyone who jogs or walks, especially at dusk or nighttime, should be visible — lightcolored clothes, safety tape, even a small flashlight, if necessary. It’s awfully dark where I live, and many times I have come upon someone walking and thought, “I almost did not see you!” — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Hints to prevent a dryer fire: * Be sure to clean the lint trap every time! * Make sure the vent hose isn’t clogged. * Don’t plug a dryer into a regular outlet. * Make sure the lint trap is securely in place. * Never leave the dryer running when gone. — Heloise Send a great hint to: Heloise P.O.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 35-year-old single man. Three years ago, I took legal custody of my niece (who is now 8) to prevent her from becoming a ward of the state. Her parents were drug addicts. Shortly afterward, my mother moved in to help me raise her, which is greatly needed and appreciated. The problem is, I had to dramatically alter my lifestyle — no more staying out late on weekends or impromptu trips to visit college buddies — and worst of all, an end to dating. I used to go out with a lot of women, but I haven’t been with anyone in more than two years. I didn’t like the idea of bringing ladies around my niece whom she might never see again. It was easier to just give up dating than to deal with her questions and looks of confusion. She has had enough instability in her young life, and I didn’t want to add to it. Now I’m starting to get lonely, and I’m not sure how to get back into the dating scene. How would I explain my living situation to a potential wife: “I have a kid and my mother living with me, and that’s not going to change. Interested?” Abby, any thoughts or suggestions would be welcomed.
