State scraps 2020 GOP presidential primary ANCHORAGE — The Alaska Republican Party has canceled holding a presidential primary in 2020.

In a statement Saturday, the party’s State Central Committee passed a rule saying a primary “would serve no useful purpose” because Republican Donald Trump is president.

Earlier this month, Republican leaders in Nevada, South Carolina and Kansas voted to scrap their presidential nominating contests in 2020, erecting more hurdles for the long-shot candidates challenging President Donald Trump.

Canceling primaries, caucuses and other voting is not unusual for the party of the White House incumbent seeking a second term. Doing so allows Trump to try to consolidate his support as Democrats work to winnow their large field of candidates.

Challengers have emerged to Trump, including former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and Joe Walsh, a former Illinois congressman.

Others may join them.

Alaska Mental Health Trust begins accepting land sale bids JUNEAU — A mental health department has begun accepting bids for parcels of land in southeast Alaska up for auction in its annual land sale, officials said.

All plots of land, ranging from $12,400 to $112,000 would be sold to the highest bidder in a sealed bid submission process, the Juneau Empire reported Friday.

The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority is expected to continue the auction until Nov. 12, Trust officials said.

The Trust Land Office in Anchorage is expected to open the submitted sealed bids Nov. 14.

Parcels are to be accepted “as is” and “where is” with “no guarantees, expressed or implied, as to its suitability for any intended use,” See news, Page A3

Quick ordered to cease and desist The Alaska Public Offices Commission will investigate whether the candidate violated contribution-reporting requirements.

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

A candidate for the Nikiski seat on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly has been

ordered by a state commission to cease and desist any coordination with a local political action group.

After several expedited hearings this week regarding

a complaint received Sept. 18, the Alaska Public Offices Commission issued an order Friday morning directing John Quick and his campaign to “immediately cease and desist from coordinating with Alaska Yes on advertisements that state they are ‘not authorized, paid for or approved

by any candidate.’”

“After hearing the matter on an expedited basis, the Commission concludes that Mr. Quick’s campaign is aiding and abetting a probable violation by Alaska Yes of the disclaimer requirement,” the order states.

The complaint was also sent to APOC staff for

further investigation.

In response to the order issued by APOC Friday, Quick’s lawyer Stacey Stone said on behalf of Quick that APOC’s decision was unsurprising.

‘Keep it in the ground’ Concerned community members unite to join Global Climate Strike

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Residents of Soldotna joined organizers across the globe Friday to demand politicians take action to address climate change.

On Friday evening, dozens of people gathered at Soldotna Creek Park, holding signs that read, “Don’t be a fossil fool,” “There is no Planet B,” and “Keep Alaska Cool.”

The event was organized by local high school students and youth activists Kaegan Koski and Eve Downing with the help of local environmental advocacy group Cook Inletkeeper.

Soldotna’s march was part of the Global Climate Strike, a series of demonstrations inspired in part by the activism of Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg.

Over the past year, Thunberg has staged weekly demonstrations urging governments to take action to save the environment. Climate Strike organizers reported strikes in more than 150 countries. The Associated Press reported hundreds of thousands of people participating strikes in U.S. cities and countries around the world.

Before marching down the Sterling Highway, Kaitlin Vadla of Cook Inletkeeper taught the protesters a short song written especially for the day:

“People gonna rise like the water, Gonna calm this crisis down.

I hear the voice of my great-granddaughter, Saying keep it in the ground.”

The protesters then made their way down the Sterling Highway to the Kenai Spur Highway intersection, with Koski leading the way.

“It scares me how apathetic I can

be about this issue, not just others,” Koski said when asked why he decided to lead Friday’s strike. “I See climate, Page A2

Peninsula residents take action against hunger

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

September is Hunger Action Month, and folks around the peninsula have been doing their part to eliminate empty plates and empty stomachs.

Hunger Action Month is a nationwide initiative started by Feeding America with the goal of raising awareness about how people can do their part to address the hunger crisis in America.

More than 37 million people in the United States — including over 11 million children — are struggling with hunger or food insecurity, according to Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap 2019 study. That comes out to about 1 in every 8 American.

On the peninsula, the primary advocate in addressing food insecurity

is the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank.

Executive Director Greg Meyer said that the Food Bank works with 72 different agencies from Homer to Seward to Nikiski delivering food to those who struggle to acquire it otherwise.

Meyer said that for Hunger Action Month, the food bank has encouraged various businesses and organizations to hold food drives and has tied in educational opportunities about eating healthy and reducing waste.

“The food drives are to show people that every little bit helps,” Meyer said.

“And we’ve been trying to encourage eating locally and growing locally while eliminating waste. We can do a lot by reducing the amount of food waste we produce every day.”

Proposition 1: Adopting a Proposition 2: Increasing manager form of government the borough’s sales tax cap

By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

Voters will decide Oct. 1 if the borough should shift chief administrator duties from the mayor to a borough manager.

Proposition 1 asks voters if they support adopting a manager form of government. Under this form of government, a mayor would still be elected boroughwide, but the duties of that mayor would not include being the chief

administrator of the borough.

According to the Division of Community and Regional Affairs records, 12 of the 19 boroughs in Alaska have a manager form of government, as do several cities within the borough.

If voters choose to adopt this form of government, the elected mayor would serve as the chair of the assembly, participate in assembly discussions, vote on assembly actions in the See manager, Page A3

Voters will decide on Oct. 1 on whether to increase the cap on the borough’s sales tax.

Under current Kenai Peninsula Borough code, sales tax is only applied up to the first $500 of a purchase. This cap has been in effect in the borough since 1965. According to the Alaska Department of Labor, $500 in 1965, adjusted for inflation on the Anchorage Consumer Price

Index, would be worth about $3,195 in 2018.

The Borough’s sales tax of 3%, when applied to a purchase of $500 or more, adds an additional $15 to the cost of the purchase.

Proposition 2, if passed by voters, would raise that cap to $1,000. If applied under the current tax rate, the maximum amount paid on any given purchase would be $30.

Residential rentals are exempt See cap, Page A3

think it’s really important that I keep doing things like this, because right now it’s not as much of an issue as it needs to be, and I think a lot of people would agree with me.”

Many drivers honked at the protesters as they walked by, with some raising their fists in solidarity and others raising their fingers in opposition.

Upon reaching the intersection where the Sterling Highway meets the Kenai Spur Highway, the protesters spread out to different corners of the intersection to sing and display their signs along the road.

Younger kids, teenagers and adults of all ages participated in the strike, and each had their own take on why the issue of climate change is important to them and what kinds of change they want to see.

“Why am I here?” Nikiski resident Debbie McKay said. “To save the Earth.”

About 50 people participated in the protest, and McKay said that she wished the turnout had been as big as a Wednesday Market or the Kenai River Festival, but she was inspired by the younger generations leading the charge.

“I’m here to help draw attention

the hearing that his (Quick’s) campaign manager had been discussing the political advertisements that were going out with Alaska Yes, it was anticipated that APOC would take some sort of action,” Stone said Friday.

The cease-and-desist order follows revelations made during an APOC hearing on Thursday that Quick’s then-campaign manager, Paul Huber, had been communicating with Alaska Yes Inc via email correspondence.

Alaska Yes is a nonprofit political advocacy group that has distributed ads on Facebook and local media outlets promoting John Quick and other assembly candidates Rose Henry and Holly Odd

to the severe crisis we have happening right now,” Rebecca Lambourn of Kenai said. “On a local level, I think that we as Alaskans need to let our politicians know how we feel about this.”

Lambourn recently traveled to the village of Seldovia, where the residents recently faced a water shortage that was the result of an extended drought on the peninsula.

“We’re seeing the drastic effects of warming temperatures,” Lambourn. “I think that we need to wake up.”

“We’re here because we care about the planet and we don’t want climate change to go on any longer,” Audrey Hobart-Anderson said. “In 20 or 30 years the planet won’t be as sustainable as it was before, and that’s kind of an important issue.”

Hobart-Anderson is 10 years old and a student at Kaleidoscope Elementary, and she attended the march with her mother and brother.

She said she and her family recycle as much as they can to do their part, but she also thinks it’s important to let the borough know that people want to see something done.

Soldotna’s Climate Strike was just as much about taking action as it was about marching. During the event, participants passed around and signed a petition asking the Kenai Peninsula Borough to incorporate a Climate Action Plan into their 2019 Comprehensive Plan.

The language of the petition urges

while also issuing negative claims about Quick’s opponent Jesse Bjorkman and Odd’s opponent Brent Johnson. In addition, a website attacking Henry’s opponent Tyson Cox was paid for by Alaska Yes. Alaska Yes Treasurer Kathy Toms — who is no longer listed as the group’s treasurer as of Friday — testified before the APOC commission Thursday and listed Huber among the recipients of emails containing Alaska Yes Inc advertisements. Toms testified that suggestions, comments and approvals of those ads are made via email correspondence, and she also named Alaska Yes Inc board members Wayne Ogle and Nona Safra as being part of the email group.

After Toms’ testimony, Quick acknowledged that Huber was his campaign manager but said that Huber

the assembly to include plans for adapting to environmental changes, developing a renewable energy strategy with a target of 40% greenhouse gas reduction by 2030 and strategies to improve recycling infrastructure and composting on the borough level.

‘The earth is dying,” Sophie Crawford said. “Earth gave us a home and we repaid it with greed and selfishness.”

Crawford is 18 and recently graduated from Kenai Central High School. Crawford said that individual changes like using reusable coffee cups and water bottles are important, but so is reducing the community’s carbon footprint on a large scale. Crawford is happy to see people her age lead the way in the climate advocacy movement, and fellow marcher Patrick Murray was in agreement.

“Just like the Vietnam War, the students have got to speak up and save us from this crazy government,” Murray said.

Murray said that anyone who’s lived in Alaska for a long time should be able to see that things are changing fast. Murray used to be an oil well driller and said that people of every industry should be

Food Bank employee Francis Bell stocks up the cooler at the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank in Soldotna on Friday.

Assistant City Librarian Katja Wolfe said that this is the second year that the library has done Food for Fines during Hunger Action Month, with the drive also taking place in April during National Libraries Week.

People often donate above and beyond what would cover their library fines, Wolfe said, and last September the library collected 931 pounds of food.

“Sometimes people feel embarrassed to come to the library if they have fines, like they’re going to get punished or something, but with Food for Fines I think they feel more inclined to come in,” librarian Kim McMilin said.

Meanwhile at Skyview Middle School, the Panther Student Council organized

“We don’t have to stop drilling oil wells, and we don’t have to stop driving our cars or flying airplanes, but we’ve gotta work for changes that we know are cleaner ways for the future,” Murray said.

Once the marchers had returned to the park, an open mic was set up and participants were invited to give speeches or sing songs. Some

Hunger The food bank accepts donations of both food items and cash year-round, because as Meyer puts it, “Hunger doesn’t have a season.”

Gunnar Peters has been volunteering for the past couple years with his dad Darren Thayer and said that he enjoys being able to help out his community.

Volunteering at the food bank has also helped him develop his social skills, which he said he sometimes struggles with due to his autism.

“I’ve made a lot of friends here, and it feels good to help out,” Peters said.

Meyer said that this month, food drives have taken place or will be happening at businesses like Marathon Petroleum, Alaska USA Credit Union, Remax Realty and Dry Bones Coffee.

The Soldotna Library held a food drive last week, but theirs came with a slight twist. The library’s Food for Fines program gave residents the opportunity to bring in nonperishable food items and have their library fines forgiven in exchange: each item counted as a $1 credit toward the reduction of their existing Soldotna Library Fine.

a snack food drive with the help of their council adviser and teacher, Sheila-Margaret Pothast.

Pothast said that the idea came about organically during a “Focus On Learning” session that took place on Sept. 11 and was centered around how kids can be of service to their community.

“The impetus was that 9/11 has become a day of service, a day for reaching out, and so this seemed like a good way to do that,” Pothast said.

The snack drive was on focused food that was readyto-eat — beef jerky, protein bars, pudding and fruit cups to name a few — rather than things that needed to be cooked. Eighth grader Derrick Jones said that they chose this approach because

Following the testimonials from Toms and Quick, the commission concluded that Huber’s involvement in reviewing advertisements distributed by Alaska Yes makes the advertisements’ disclaimers that they “were

not everyone has the option to cook.

“Not everybody has somewhere to live, and they don’t necessarily have a microwave or stove to heat things up in,” Jones said. “And during the summer they can’t really keep their food cold.”

Eighth grader Avery Ciufo said that she and the other council members made and put up posters around the school and got the word out in the school bulletins in order to raise awareness about their project.

spoke about hope for the future, and others spoke about the failures of the past. Peggy Mullen, owner of River City Books in Soldotna, read a newspaper from 1994 that included information about global warming and the greenhouse effect.

not authorized, paid for, or approved by any candidate,” false. The APOC commission stated in the order that Alaska Yes is in “probable violation” of Alaska Statute 15.13.135(b) because of the false disclaimer. The commission did not make a decision whether Alaska Yes violated this statute because no complaint against the group has been filed.

The commission has referred the complaint to APOC staff for further investigation on a regular basis.

The investigation will determine whether Quick violated contribution-reporting requirements as defined in Alaska Statutes 15.13.040(a) and 15.13.110 by failing to report the advertisements as campaign contributions.

In response to this investigation, Stone maintained that Quick was unaware of Huber’s involvement with

Alaska Yes. APOC executive director Heather Hebdon said on Friday that APOC staff have 30 days to conduct an investigation, issue a report to the commission and provide a recommendation on a civil penalty assessment, if any is warranted.

“Mr. Quick wasn’t aware of what his campaign manager was engaged in or involved in,” Stone said. “He’s cooperating with APOC, and he’s ensuring that the integrity of his campaign is maintained going forward. He immediately accepted the resignation of Mr. Huber as soon as he learned of his actions following the hearing yesterday.”

Upon receiving the staff report, the APOC commission will issue a final order.

All orders issued by the APOC commission can be appealed to the Alaska Superior Court.

How to help Donations to the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank can be dropped off between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The food bank is also always on the lookout for more volunteers, and anyone interested can call donor relations specialist Randi Smith at 907-262-3111.

The drive ran from Sept.

12 to Sept. 20, and Pothast reported that 753 items were collected over the course of the week.

Jones and Ciufo suggested extending the duration of the drive next year while

also encouraging the entire community to donate — rather than just students and parents. Pothast thought it would be a good idea to promote the drive during sporting events and other after-school activities.

from the potential cap increase because “it would disproportionately affect tenants of residential property who would pay the higher rate every month,” according to the language of Proposition 2.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough Finance Department estimates this increase in the sales tax cap would generate approximately $3.1 to $3.4 million annually in additional revenue.

On the Oct. 1 ballot, Proposition 2 will read: “Shall Section 1 of Ordinance 2019-15, increasing the maximum amount of a sale subject to the borough sales tax, other than residential rentals, from $500 to $1,000, be ratified? The maximum amount of residential property rentals subject to the sales tax would remain at $500 per month.”

A “yes” supports increasing the sales tax cap. A “no” opposes the increase.

If enacted, the increase would go into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

case of a tie and still hold veto power.

An ordinance authorizing a public vote on adopting a manager form of government was passed at the Aug. 6 Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting. Assembly members Hal Smalley and Kelly Cooper sponsored the ordinance.

When the assembly held a public hearing for the ordinance, the legislation was met with criticism from some community members.

Those who spoke in opposition expressed concern about the people of the borough being unable to vote a manager out.

A similar ordinance failed in 2010, assembly member Dale Bagley said at the August meeting, and he suspects this ordinance will again.

The ordinance reads: “Shall the Kenai Peninsula Borough adopt a manager plan of government, effective upon commencement of the term of office of the person elected to be the Borough Mayor in the regular or run-off election held in the 2020 election, where the chief administrative officer is a manager appointed by the assembly instead of the current form where the elected mayor runs the borough administration?”

A “yes” vote supports a manager form of government. A “no” vote opposes it.

If a majority of voters approve Proposition 1, then the assembly will adopt a manager plan within 60 days.

Group predicts jump in cruise ship passengers in 2020 JUNEAU — An industry trade group predicts the number of Alaska cruise ship passengers will break records in 2020 for the fifth consecutive year.

CoastAlaska reports the outlook comes from Cruise Lines International Association Alaska.

The projections were announced Wednesday at the annual meeting of Southeast Conference, taking place in Sitka.

According to the association’s data, at least 1.44 million cruise ship passengers are expected in Alaska next year.

That’s a 6 % increase.

Cruise ship traffic increased by about 200,000 passengers between 2018 and 2019.

Next year, 10 new ships are expected, along with 29 additional port calls.

The biggest jump is expected for Hoonah through the Icy Strait Point tourism complex owned

by Huna Totem Corp., the village Native corporation for Hoonah.

The wells will be focused on the prospective Harpoon area southwest of the company’s existing projects in the reserve, ConocoPhillips Alaska Vice President Scott Jepsen said during a presentation last week to the Alaska Support Industry Alliance.

The wells will better delineate the large Willow prospect.

“We want to get more confidence around the geology and reservoir characteristics of the field, so that’s one of the reasons we pushed back our startup date to around 2025-2026 now for the Willow development,” Jepsen said.

ConocoPhillips announced the Willow discovery in early 2017. The company estimates it could produce 130,000 barrels per day at its peak.

Other company plans call for shooting three-dimensional seismic data around the Putu prospect near the village of Nuiqsut. The work will require about 165 miles of ice roads, Jepsen said.

“Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we’ll be able to accomplish all this,” he said.

ConocoPhillips in June announced purchase of the Nuna project from Dallas-based independent Caelus Energy. Caelus sanctioned Nuna in March 2105 and indicated that it had authorized $480 million of

expenditures on the project to that point. Caelus estimated up to 20,000 barrels per day from the project.

Jepsen said Nuna will be part of the Kuparuk River Unit and its oil will be processed through Kuparuk facilities, lowering development cost. Drilling will be done from the Nuna pad and a Kuparuk pad to minimize new infrastructure costs.

The company expects 400 laborers over one winter construction season will be able to prep the project for first production in 2022.

Take celebrity views with a grain of salt

W

hat is the price of denying opportunity?

When you’ve helped get your child into a choice college by paying a scammer to boost their SAT score so said offspring gets a coveted slot, thereby taking that spot from a student who worked hard to come by their score through study and sweat — what should that cost you once you’ve been caught?

For actress Felicity Huffman, one of the rich and famous netted in the “Operation Varsity Blues” college admissions bribery scandal, it’s two weeks in prison, a $30,000 fine and 250 hours of community service.

As the Boston Herald’s Sean Philip Cotter reported, the former “Desperate Housewives” actress was ordered Friday to self-surrender to a federal lockup on Oct. 25. Her lawyers have asked that she serve time at FCI Dublin in northern California, a low-security, all-female inmate prison.

According to the prison’s commissary list, Huffman can purchase raw almonds, granola cereal and French vanilla cappuccino on site. So while it is a federal prison, there are worse places she could go. As for that fine, Huffman and her husband, William H. Macy, have a net worth reportedly in the tens of millions of dollars, so she won’t exactly be clipping coupons once she gets out.

Huffman was sentenced after pleading guilty to a single count of conspiracy and fraud in May for paying $15,000 to scandal mastermind Rick Singer to boost her daughter’s SAT score.

She is the first parent to be sentenced among 34 charged in the scheme. According to former federal prosecutor Tim Burke, the allegations against Huffman are among the least serious in the Varsity Blues cases, so defendants such as “Full House” actress Lori Loughlin, accused of more egregious schemes, such as bribing college officials, would likely face more jail time if convicted.

Before sentencing, Huffman summed up her actions succinctly: “I was so stupid, and I was so wrong.”

And yet, celebrities have never been reticent in telling “the little people” how smart and right they are — from what to eat to how to vote.

In 2017 Huffman and Macy both signed on to do a marketing campaign for Renew Life, a line of probiotics sold by Clorox Co. The actress told AdAge she’d been trying different brands of probiotics for years. “I’m an encyclopedia about this stuff,” she said.

And last year, Huffman stepped up in a video endorsement of Danielle Shelton, supporting her bid to become a Milwaukee County Circuit judge. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Shelton took down the post after Huffman was charged.

Huffman is far from alone, of course. Alyssa Milano, the “Charmed” star, has been debating gun control with Ted Cruz; singer Rihanna told interviewers at her Diamond Ball this week, “I think climate change is a real issue.”

With all due respect to the talented woman who gave us “Diamonds” and “Disturbia,” when researching climate change, we don’t think “what does Rihanna say?” should be anyone’s first Google query.

While there are stars who do good works, raising money for poor children and to advance education, among other things, the gaping maw of celebrity convinces far too many that their views on the world and how to live in it should serve as a primer for the rest of us.

Fame does not confer wisdom.

And Hollywood stars should be seen as no better, or worse, than “ordinary” people — especially when their actions undermine the hard work of regular folks.

T

he Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) has finalized its fall and winter schedule. And coastal communities from Angoon to Kodiak will have to adapt to periods without ferry service from six weeks to six months.

Now it’s time to start identifying highway subsidies across that state that ought to be eliminated.

Here’s two where Gov. Mike Dunleavy can zero out winter road maintenance. The 77 miles of the Elliot Highway from Manley Hot Springs to the Dalton Highway. And last 100 miles of the Steese Highway that connects the villages of Central and Circle to Fairbanks.

Dunleavy might also consider privatizing both highways, most of the 134-mile Denali Highway, the last 65 miles of the Taylor Highway, the 58-mile McCarthy Road and the 42-mile long Nabesna Road.

I’m not really proposing that the state abandon its obligations to the thousand or so residents and dozens of family run businesses that rely on state maintenance of these roads.

Rather, it’s a discussion necessitated

by Dunleavy’s misperception that the cost to operate the AHMS is an unjust burden on Alaskans who don’t travel by ferry.

According to traffic counts compiled by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, less than 100 vehicles each day travel across the highway sections listed above. Sure, that’s more than the ferry routes in question. But do the roads provide an economic payback to more than area residents?

The AMHS does. Although the

return diminishes in relation to the distance removed from system’s routes, every state dollar spent generates more than $2 of economic activity.

That doesn’t all end up in the government’s treasure chest though.

Because the state is much more than the government. It’s the places and people and diverse lifestyle opportunities offered by both Alaska’s cities and its bush and island communities.

That’s why the costs to operate the AMHS and maintain the network of remote highways are more than numbers on the government’s balance sheet. And why we need to reimagine the meaning of subsidy.

“Somebody invested in roads and bridges,” President Barack Obama said on the campaign trail in 2012. “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

That statement was made famous not by what Obama meant. But by how it was distorted to read like an attack on successful business owners.

“The point is,” Obama said that day, “is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own.”

The roads and bridges across the American landscape were built with the hard-earned tax dollars of our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Those living in the congested northeast corridor between Boston and Washington, D.C. weren’t arguing with rural Midwesterners over who was getting

the better deal. They understood the mutual benefit of not having to build their own respective transportation networks.

That set of values was behind the establishment of the AMHS Fairbanks in 1963. People living in Anchorage and Fairbanks understood they would receive little to no direct benefit from ferries crisscrossing the state’s coastal waterways. And the residents who would use them mutually accepted the state would fund the larger infrastructure needed to sustain Alaska’s urban communities.

It’s similar for the remote Alaskan roads I’ve mentioned. They were all built before statehood. But it’s likely they all would have been closed long ago if government officials decided the state shouldn’t own and maintain them because most Alaskans received no benefit.

The government when those decisions were made was what America’s founders envisioned — a government of, by and for the people. It and the public institutions that made it work were rightfully respected by most Americans.

Now, in Alaska and rural America more than anywhere else, people believe the Congress and the federal bureaucracy serve the metropolises and their suburbs almost to the exclusion of rural values and concerns.

And that’s the irony that Dunleavy’s ferry cuts expose. By relying on consensus from the Alaska’s population centers to determine how best to spend the state’s limited revenue, he’s running a government like the one in D.C. that’s by and for just some of the people.

Youth leaders at UN demand bold climate change action

By Seth Borenstein Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS — Fresh off the climate strike that took hundreds of thousands of young people out of classrooms and into the streets globally, youth leaders gathered at the United Nations Saturday to demand radical moves to fight climate change.

“We showed that we are united and that we, young people, are unstoppable,” Swedish 16-year-old activist Greta Thunberg, who started the climate strike movement with her lone protest in front of her country’s parliament about a year and a half ago.

More than 700 mostly young activists attended the first of its kind Youth Climate Summit, according to Luis Alfonso de Alba, the U.N. special climate summit envoy.

Friday’s strike across six continents and Saturday’s youth conference presage a full-on climate conference next week at the U.N. General Assembly, which has placed the issue of climate change at front and center as world leaders gather for the annual meeting.

Activists at Saturday’s gathering demanded money for a fund to help poorer nations adapt to a warming world and provide greener energy.

They also insisted that the world should wean itself quickly from coal, oil and gas that cause climate change.

“Stop the criminal contaminant behavior of big corporations,” said Argentine climate activist Bruno Rodriguez. “Enough is enough. We don’t want fossil fuels anymore.”

Jayathma Wickramanayake, the U.N. Secretary-General’s youth envoy, called climate change “the defining issue of our time. Millions of young people all over the world are already being affected by it.”

During Thunberg’s short lifetime, for example, the Earth has already warmed 0.6 degrees Fahrenheit (0.34 degrees Celsiuis).

Fiji climate activist Komal Karishma Kumar said global warming is not just taking a toll on the planet but on her generation, especially people from vulnerable places like her Pacific island nation.

“Young people from different parts of the world are living in constant fear and climate anxiety, fearing the future, the uncertainty of a healthy life or a life for their children at all,” Kumar said.

She added: “I do not want our future generations to submerge with our sinking islands.”

After listening to Thunberg and other youth climate activists, a tieless Secretary-General Antonio

Guterres credited young people with transforming him from a pessimist to an optimist in the fight against global warming.

Guterres said he sees “a change in momentum” going into Monday’s Climate Action Summit taking place ahead of the U.N. General Assembly gathering of world leaders that starts Tuesday, telling the youths “you have started this movement.”

“I encourage you to keep your initiative. Keep your mobilization and more and more to hold my generation accountable,” Guterres said. “My generation has largely failed until now to preserve both justice in the world and to preserve the planet.”

Kumar told Guterres that “we will hold you accountable and if you do not, remember we will mobilize to vote you out.”

The youth activists brainstormed about what they could do to change the trajectory of an ever-warming planet and how they can help the world adapt to climate’s changes.

There was talk of hashtags, entrepreneurial ideas and climate art and poetry.

“Be that hummingbird that puts out the forest fire by fetching water with its small beak as all the other animals, including the elephant, told her it was impossible,” said Kenyan activist Wanjuhi Njroge.

Climate activists step up protests in Britain, France

By Claire Parker and Pan Pylas Associated Press

PARIS — Environmental activists in Britain and France stepped up campaigns Saturday to get their governments to confront climate change with greater urgency, part of a week of global climate actions.

Thousands of people marched in south Paris to press French President Emmanuel Macron, world leaders at the United Nations and multinational companies to reduce greenhouse emissions faster, The protest turned violent for a while after dozens of marchers dressed in black broke windows and set fire to makeshift street barricades.

Police blocked off side streets and used tear gas and batons indiscriminately to disperse the crowds as demonstrators ran for cover.

Around the busy Port of Dover, the English port nearest to France and a main transport link, activists from the Extinction Rebellion

group launched a “blockade” to “highlight the vulnerability of the U.K.’s food supply in the face of the ecological and climate emergency.” Ten people were arrested.

Saturday’s protests come a day after hundreds of thousands of mostly young people marched, rallied and demonstrated around the world, demanding action to combat climate change. The Global Climate Strike took place Friday in advance of a United Nations climate summit.

France’s Macron will be among those speaking at the U.N. summit Monday. While he has presented himself as a champion of environment issues and stood up to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro over the burning Amazon rainforest, climate activists aren’t convinced of Macron’s sincerity.

On Saturday in Paris, a delegation from Greenpeace pulled a giant float caricaturing Macron as a “King of Blah Blah.”

Clement Senechal, a Greenpeace climate campaigner, accused Macron of putting

business interests ahead of protecting the environment.

“The statue embodies the approach of Emmanuel Macron regarding the climate issue, which is mainly a smoke screen of fake, false measures,” Senechal said.

“We are facing climate inaction in France, and we have a big gap between claims and deeds.”

Demonstrators raised concerns ranging from ongoing fossil fuel subsidies to deforestation and meat consumption. Dozens of France’s anti-government yellow vest protesters joined climate activists to emphasize the link between economic grievances and environmental concerns.

“We are here, we are here.

Even if Macron doesn’t want it, we are here,” marchers chanted.

The protest march remained largely peaceful, but troublemakers wearing black who mingled among the marchers broke shop windows, drew graffiti on buildings and set fire to trash cans and scooters.

Taking shelter from tear gas inside an apartment building along the protest route, Danielle Joly called the police response “a total disgrace.”

“I’m 69. I’m not going to fight with the police. I’m with other friends of a similar age, and our group has been gassed for no reason whatsoever,” Joly said. “And the way we interpret it is that it’s an intimidation, so people don’t demonstrate anymore.”

Around Dover in southeast England, the Extinction Rebellion protest disrupted some traffic, but police said the majority of the group’s activists stayed within the designated protest area.

The protest was given the go-ahead by local authorities within certain limits, and Extinction Rebellion insisted it would “not cause any disruption to vital supplies” such as medicines.

As well as being a major cross-channel ferry crossing between England and France, Dover plays a crucial role in the free-flow of trade between Britain and the European Union.

Thibault Camus / Associated Press

Protestors march Saturday during a climate demonstration, in Paris. Scuffles broke out between some violent activists and police, who responded with tear gas.

It handles around 12 million passengers a year and around $150 billion of U.K.-EU trade. Its importance to the British economy is a crucial point of discussions in the Brexit negotiations.

Police said that there was a brief closure of the A2 highway, one of the main roads into Dover from London, after some people obstructed traffic. They said 10 people were arrested on suspicion

of public order offenses and would remain in custody pending investigations.

“It is pleasing we haven’t seen levels of disruption greater than what could be reasonably expected,” said Chief Superintendent Andy Pritchard.

Protesters also hung giant banners showing the Extinction Rebellion “XR” emblem from Dover Castle and the town’s iconic white cliffs.

Iran’s Guard says ready for ‘any scenario’ amid U.S. standoff

By Amis Vahdat Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard is ready for combat and “any scenario,” its chief commander said Saturday, as the country’s nuclear deal with world powers collapses and the U.S. alleged Iran was behind a weekend attack on major oil sites in Saudi Arabia that shook global energy markets.

Iran has denied involvement in the Sept. 14 attack that was initially claimed by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who is in New York for the U.N. meetings, has warned that any retaliatory strike on Iran by the U.S. or Saudi Arabia will result in “an allout war.”

On Saturday, Gen. Hossein Salami, at a ceremony displaying pieces of an American drone Iran shot down in June, said that his forces have carried out “war exercises and are ready for any scenario.”

He added: “If anyone crosses our borders, we will hit them.”

Zarif claimed in a tweet that Saudi Arabia does not believe its own allegations that Iran was responsible for the attack on Saudi oil sites.

“It is clear that even the Saudis themselves don’t believe the fiction of Iranian involvement”, Zarif said, pointing to what

he described as a Saudi retaliatory attack on Houthi forces in southwestern Yemen.

Saudi Arabia has been at war with the Houthi rebels since March 2015. The U.N., Gulf Arab nations and the U.S. accuse Iran of supplying arms to the Houthis, something Tehran denies.

The Houthis announced Friday they are halting all drone and ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia — a move welcomed Saturday by Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths.

If implemented in good faith, he said, a halt to hostile military acts against the Saudis “could send a powerful message of the will to end the war.”

Griffiths said in a statement that he also welcomed the Houthis’ “expression of further openness” to implementing a prisoner exchange agreement, “and the desire for a political solution to end the conflict.”

He stressed “the importance of taking advantage of this opportunity and moving forward with all necessary steps to reduce violence, military escalation and unhelpful rhetoric.”

Analysts say the missiles used in the Sept.

14 assault wouldn’t have enough range to reach the oil sites in eastern Saudi Arabia from impoverished Yemen. The missiles and drones used resembled Iranian-made weapons, although analysts say more study is needed to definitively link them to Iran.

around the world

UK’s Labour Party in turmoil as vote to oust deputy ditched LONDON — Britain’s major opposition Labour Party was trying to defuse a major row Saturday after a close ally of leader Jeremy Corbyn sought to oust his deputy, a move that prompted a furious outcry from many in the party.

While the attempt to dislodge Tom Watson was ditched after Corbyn intervened, the row laid bare divisions in the party at a time when it should be readying for an expected general election in the next few months against a Conservative government and prime minister racing to take Britain out of the European Union by the scheduled Oct. 31 Brexit date.

“We are supposed to be here this week to fight Boris Johnson, to outline our positive vision for the country at a general election, and I think it’s been undermined on day one,” Watson told cheering supporters as he arrived in the southern England city of Brighton for the start of Labour’s annual conference.

Watson has espoused a number of viewpoints, particularly on Brexit, that angered many of Corbyn’s left-wing supporters but appealed to the Labour Party’s moderate wing. Watson is a prominent supporter of a holding a second Brexit referendum and urging Labour to campaign for Britain to remain in the EU in any future vote.

Hong Kong protesters, police face off in renewed clashes HONG KONG — Protesters in Hong Kong threw gasoline bombs and police fired tear gas Saturday in renewed clashes over antigovernment grievances.

Reporters saw at least one person arrested

after violence erupted following an afternoon march by several thousand people in Tuen Mun, a district in the northwest of the Chinese territory.

Hong Kong is in the fourth month of sometimes violent protests that occur every weekend. They started with opposition to a proposed extradition law and have expanded to include demands for greater democracy.

Most protesters in Tuen Mun were peaceful but some threw gasoline bombs and bricks toward police who faced them down the street. They appeared to fall short of the police and there was no indication anyone was hit.

In the evening, protesters gathered at a shopping mall in another district, Yuen Long.

Some threw gasoline bombs in the street.

A government statement said some were thrown toward police vehicles, endangering the officers inside, but gave no indication anyone was injured. In both areas, police with riot helmets and shields responded by firing tear gas. Elsewhere, scuffles were reported as government supporters heeded a call by a pro-Beijing member of the Hong Kong legislature to tear down protest posters at subway stations.

Lorena spares Los Cabos, heads up coast of Mexico’s Baja CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico (AP) -- Hurricane Lorena spared the resort-studded twin cities of Los Cabos a direct hit and was reduced to a tropical storm Saturday as it headed up the east coast of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. The U.S. National Hurricane Center downgraded Lorena to a tropical storm Saturday afternoon, saying it has maximum sustained winds of 50 mpand its center was about 50 miles north-northeast of Loreto, Mexico. It was heading to the north at 12 mph on a forecast track parallel to the coast, through the Sea of Cortez.

Trump: ‘Perfectly fine’ call with Ukraine leader

By Jonathan Lemire, Michael Balsamo and Lisa Mascaro Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump urged the new leader of Ukraine this summer to investigate the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, a person familiar with the matter said. Democrats condemned what they saw as a clear effort to damage a political rival, now at the center of an explosive whistleblower complaint against Trump.

It was the latest revelation in an escalating controversy that has created a showdown between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration, which has refused to turn over the formal complaint by a national security official or even describe its contents.

Trump is defending himself against the intelligence official’s complaint, asserting that it comes from a “partisan whistleblower,” though the president also says he doesn’t know who had made it. The complaint was based on a series of events, one of which was a July 25 call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy,

Patrick Semansky / Associated Press

President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference Friday with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in the East Room of the White House.

according to a two people familiar with the matter. The people were not authorized to discuss the issue by name and were granted anonymity.

In a tweet Saturday, Trump referred to “a perfectly fine and routine conversation I had” with Ukraine’s leader. “Nothing was said that was in any way wrong.”

According to one of the people,

who was briefed on the call, Trump urged Zelenskiy to probe the activities of potential Democratic rival Biden’s son Hunter, who worked for a Ukrainian gas company. Trump did not raise the issue of U.S. aid to Ukraine, indicating there was not an explicit quid pro quo, according to the person.

In an interview with Ukrainian outlet Hromadske, the foreign

minister said his country was not interested in taking sides in U.S. politics, but that Zelenskiy had the right to keep secret the contents of his conversation with Trump.

“I know what the conversation was about and I do not think there was any pressure” from Trump, Vadym Prystaiko was quoted as saying. “There was a conversation, different conversation, leaders have the right to discuss any existing issues. This was a long and friendly conversation that touched on a lot of issues, sometimes requiring serious answers.”

Biden said if the reports are true, “then there is truly no bottom to President Trump’s willingness to abuse his power and abase our country.” He said Trump should release the telephone transcript “so that the American people can judge for themselves.”

The U.S. government’s intelligence inspector general has described the whistleblower’s Aug. 12 complaint as “serious” and “urgent.” Trump insisted “it’s nothing” and “just another political hack job.”

The president said he has conversations with many leaders.

“It’s always appropriate. Always

appropriate,” Trump said. “At the highest level always appropriate.

And anything I do, I fight for this country.”

Trump was asked whether he knew if the whistleblower’s complaint centered on the July 25 call with Zelenskiy. “I really don’t know,” Trump said.

When questioned whether he had brought up Biden in the call, Trump said, “It doesn’t matter what I discussed.” But then Trump urged the media “to look into” Biden’s background with Ukraine.

There has yet to be any evidence of any wrongdoing by Biden or his son regarding Ukraine.

Trump and Zelenskiy plan to meet on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly this coming week. The Wall Street Journal first reported that Trump pressed Zelenskiy about Biden.

The standoff with Congress raises more questions about the extent to which Trump’s appointees are protecting the Republican president from oversight and, specifically, whether his new acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, is working with the Justice Department to shield the president.

Trump heads to UN with long list of deals he’s yet to close

By Deb Reichmann Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, a self-described deal-maker, is saddled with a long list of unresolved foreign policy deals he has yet to close heading into his U.N. visit this coming week.

There are challenges with Iran, North Korea, the Afghan Taliban, Israel and the Palestinians — not to mention a number of trade pacts.

Some are inching forward. Some have stalled.

Trump has said repeatedly that he is in “no rush” to wrap up the deals. But negotiations take time.

He is nearly three years into his presidency and the 2020 election looms, which will crimp his ability to tend to unfinished foreign business.

“I don’t blame the president for

having so many deals open,” said Nicholas Burns, a former undersecretary of state who has worked for Republican and Democratic presidents. He gives Trump credit for going after China on its trade practices and talking to the Taliban to try to end 18 years of war in Afghanistan.

“But I do think you have to be tough-minded as citizens and grade him,” Burns said. “How’s he doing?

Well, in my book, he doesn’t have a single major foreign policy achievement in more than 2½ years in office.”

Trump’s critics say that lack of success means the president is going to the United Nations in a weakened position.

Some foreign policy experts give Trump credit for opening up international negotiations. Yet there is plentiful criticism of his brash

negotiating style — blasting foreign leaders one day, making nice the next — because they think it makes the global chessboard more wobbly.

In his defense, Trump says: “It’s the way I negotiate. It’s done very well for me over the years, and it’s doing even better for the country.”

Trump’s “America first” mantra hasn’t gone over well at the United Nations before. Now, as tensions escalate between the U.S. and Iran, the president needs international support to help put pressure on Tehran.

Ever since Trump pulled the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal and reinstated crippling economic sanctions, Iran has lashed out. Iran downed an American drone, has impounded ships in the Persian Gulf and is being blamed for the attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities.

“He’s argued in the past that

each country should act solely in its own interest, and he’s argued that American might, combined with his negotiating skill, would build U.S. power,” said Jon Alterman, Middle East program director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “Now we have a General Assembly meeting where the president really needs allies on Iran.”

The prospect of Trump talking with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly has evaporated.

Alterman said the best-case scenario of another negotiation with Iran would be one leading to the end of Tehran’s destabilizing activities in the Mideast, new limits on its nuclear program and greater visibility into its missile program.

The worst-case scenario, he said, is that the president alienates his allies and Iran carries out more attacks on

U.S. interests and allies.

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who was fired by Trump, told a group at Harvard University recently that successful negotiations occur when both parties leave with an acceptable outcome.

In a comment seemingly aimed at Trump, Tillerson said: “If you ever think about a negotiation as a win/ lose, you’re going to have a terrible experience, you’re going to be very dissatisfied, and not very many people are going to want to deal with you.”

Trump’s other disarmament talks — with North Korea — have hit a wall, too.

Trump’s initial summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore was a first, as was Trump’s historic step inside North Korea at the Demilitarized Zone dividing North and South Korea.

Justices’ DC sniper case examines teen murderers’ sentences

By Jessica Gresko Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Lee Boyd Malvo, who terrorized the Washington region in 2002 as one-half of a sniper team, is at the center of a case the Supreme Court will hear this fall. But the justices’ eventual ruling probably will mean less for him than for a dozen other inmates who, like the now-34-year-old Malvo, were sentenced to life without parole for murders they committed as teens.

At issue for the Supreme Court is whether Malvo should be resentenced in Virginia in light of Supreme Court rulings restricting life-without-parole sentences for crimes committed by juveniles. But the case could also be an opportunity for the Supreme Court, which has recently become more

conservative , to put the brakes on what has been a gradual move toward more leniency for juvenile offenders .

Regardless of the case’s outcome, Malvo isn’t leaving prison anytime soon. He’s serving four life-withoutparole sentences in Virginia. He was sentenced to another six life lifewithout-parole terms for shootings in Maryland. But an appeals court ruled last year that Malvo should be resentenced in Virginia, the decision the Supreme Court will review.

The appeals court explained that after Malvo was sentenced, the Supreme Court issued a series of decisions affecting juvenile killers, decisions that required Malvo to be resentenced. But even if the justices were to agree that Malvo should receive new sentences in Virginia and even if he were given something

short of life without parole, then he still would have to successfully get his Maryland sentences reduced before having a shot at freedom.

“The reality is that other people have more at stake in this case than he does,” said Jody Kent Lavy, the executive director of the Washington-based Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth, which has filed a Supreme Court brief supporting Malvo.

Lavy says a dozen other Virginia inmates will be affected by Malvo’s case. They include Donte Jones, who was 17 when he fatally shot a convenience store employee during a robbery; Holly Landry, who was 16 when she participated in a robbery in which a man died after being beaten with a hammer, and Jason Clem, who was 16 when he fatally stabbed his boss at the restaurant

where he worked as a dishwasher.

Youth advocates have generally been pleased with the direction of the Supreme Court on juvenile sentencing in recent years. The court has recognized that minors should be treated differently from adults, in part because of their lack of maturity and greater ability to change.

In 2005, the court eliminated the death penalty for offenders who were under 18 when they committed crimes. Then, in 2012, the justices said teenage killers couldn’t automatically get life sentences with no chance of parole, explaining that punishment should be rare for juveniles. Four years later, the court made the decision retroactive , giving additional prisoners the hope for freedom.

“I have no idea what they’re going to do in Malvo, but I would hope

that they wouldn’t do anything that pulls back from that progression,” said Kathleen Wach, whose firm represents Derek Ray Jackson Jr. He was 17 when he killed a man during a convenience store robbery; he will be affected by the Malvo case’s outcome.

The justices’ 2012 and 2016 rulings provided opportunities for inmates such as Jackson and Malvo, who went back to court to challenge their sentences. Malvo argued he should be resentenced in Virginia because after a jury convicted him of murder but rejected the death penalty, he was automatically given a life-without-parole sentence. But Virginia has argued that Malvo’s sentence — and others like it — weren’t automatic, and that a judge could have suspended all or part of it, so Malvo shouldn’t be resentenced.

1 event near Area 51 pulls plug; second festival continues HIKO, Nev. — The promoter of an event set up for Earthlings to party in the remote Nevada desert around the “Storm Area 51” internet craze canceled a Saturday show because of low attendance, while the host of a festival for several thousand people in the tiny town of Rachel said her show will go on.

“Area 51 Basecamp” organizer Keith Wright said that after drawing just 500 attendees at a Friday concert-and-vendors event planned for 5,000 at the Alien Research Center souvenir shop in Hiko, he had to pull the plug.

“We put on a safe event for the people that showed up,” Wright said. “But we had to make the decision today because it costs tens of thousands of dollars to staff each day.”

“It was a gamble financially,” he said. “We lost.”

Several dozen campers are still booked until Sunday, he said. In Rachel, Little A’Le’Inn owner Connie West said she was sad to hear the Hiko festival didn’t succeed.

West, in a voice hoarse from stress and

lack of sleep, said a noon-to-midnight slate of “Alienstock” musical entertainment will continue for the several thousand revelers camping on her property and nearby federal land.

4 die after bus with Chinese tourists crashes in Utah PANGUITCH, Utah — Four people died after a tour bus carrying them and other visitors from China crashed, rolling onto a guard rail and leaving carnage and debris in its wake on a highway running through the red-rock landscape of southern Utah.

To Robert Driedonks, who heard the crash from the wildlife museum he owns nearby, it sounded like “a bomb going off.” He ran to the scene Friday, rushing to check pulses and help the terrified people as best he could, though they were far from home and couldn’t understand his words. “All I could do is see which people needed help the most,” he said Saturday. One devastated man was cradling his dead wife, and Driedonks wrapped his arms around them both, trying to bring him a little comfort until paramedics arrived.

On the one year anniversary of her passing, some of you in the community might still be wondering whatever happened to my mother, Joann Odd? As her firstborn, I have to apologize for the rest of my family members that failed to notify family or community of her passing before now.

Joann died September 24, of last year in the home built for her by her late husband, Russell, who passed earlier in 2003.

Joann had gained an exceptional knowledge and love for Alaska over the years. Her previous decades long employment working for the ‘Milepost” and “Alaska” Magazine afforded her the opportunity to explore even the most remote parts of the state.

That rich knowledge is what guided my parents decision to move to KPB more than 30 years ago.

When dad passed, Joann continued to live alone, and my family is grateful to the entire KPB community for providing the “safety net” that made it possible for her to live, up until her last day, in her own home within the community she loved so much.

Survived by her daughter Michelle, granddaughter Jennifer, and greatgranddaughter Amberly, she is missed.

Sport Calendar — http:// www.arbiterlive.com/ Teams?entityId=21192 or http://www.asaa365. com/ There are two ways to order a transcript. 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: http://www.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!

FINAL TRANSCRIPTS! 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.

SoHi takes apart Kodiak

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

The efficient and unstoppable Soldotna football machine rose to new levels Saturday in a 63-7 win over Kodiak in Northern Lights Conference play.

The Stars (5-0 overall) racked up their first NLC win of the season at home, putting away the Bears (0-6 overall) early in a rout, and pushed their current win streak to 14 games.

In a remarkable display of power and depth, the Stars were able to stack up the points at a staggering rate against a winless Kodiak squad — SoHi tallied seven touchdowns with just 15 total offensive snaps in the first half to take a 28-0 lead in the first quarter and a 56-0 lead at halftime.

It made for run-of-the-mill running clock in the fourth quarter for the savvy, experienced Stars, which feature a starting cast of all seniors.

“We’ve probably been

running these plays since we were 7,” said tight end Galen Brantley III. “A lot of it is repetition.”

In all, 11 players got the ball for a team total of 329 rushing yards, led by Hudson Metcalf’s 71 yards. Metcalf also grabbed a 42-yard picksix on defense. Wyatt Medcoff added 61 ground yards to go with two touchdowns, and Cameron Johnson scored twice as well in a big day for the senior fullback.

“I’ve known (Brantley) since we were in Pop Warner together,” Johnson said. “All of the starting kids, we’ve known each other for so long.”

Senior Jersey Truesdell threw for four TD passes — two of them to Brantley III — for 103 yards.

Johnson, while often overshadowed by the big numbers from teammates like Truesdell, Medcoff, Metcalf and Aaron Faletoi, was able to shine Friday with two scores — one on the ground and one by air.

Johnson said developing the QB-to-WR connection with Truesdell comes along with knowing the system so well, which helped him Saturday.

“Just knowing every little thing that he likes and where he wants to put the ball, things like that,” Johnson said. “We’ve been playing along together, and the O-line guys do a great job blocking it up to give us time.”

Soldotna head coach Galen Brantley Jr. chalked up the lopsided win to a meeting of teams at opposite ends of the competitive cycle.

“It’s one of those goofy things where Kodiak is in rebuilding mode and we’re kind of at the top of our run,” Brantley Jr. said. “It’s just a tough matchup for them.”

The Stars held Kodiak’s toughest runner, Josue Martinez, to just 17 rushing yards on 13 carries. Kodiak as a team managed 106 yards of offense, most of that coming on the game’s final 79-yard drive that took the Bears 10 plays to carry out.

“ It ’s t ou g h b e i ng outmanned,” Brantley Jr. said. “I thought our kids did what they were supposed to do. They didn’t play down to anyone else’s level, they came out, lit it up and were off the field before the end of the second quarter.”

The day couldn’t have started any better for SoHi, which scored on its first play from scrimmage, a 55-yard catch-and-run from Truesdell to Brantley III up the sideline.

After forcing Kodiak to punt, it took the Stars four plays to score again, this time a 40-yard drive that finished with an 11-yard toss to Johnson.

SoHi took over on downs following a failed fourthdown conversion by Kodiak, and it was three plays later that Faletoi rumbled into the end zone from 21 yards out.

Kodiak’s first five drives ended in three turnovers on downs and two punts. The See sohi, Page B2

Daigle, Dunham claim crowns

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Add the prep cross-country season to the many thing that were indelibly marked by the chaotic, extended wildfire season in Southcentral Alaska.

The Soldotna girls and boys swept the Kenai Peninsula Borough cross-country meet Saturday at Tsalteshi Trails, but Stars head coach Ted McKenney wasn’t rejoicing afterward.

“It’s OK,” he said.

A strong promoter of running on the peninsula, McKenney was bummed that many teams were not

able to put their strongest foot forward due to missing two major meets and multiple outdoor practices early in the season while wildfires raged on the peninsula.

“It’s been painful,” said McKenney, who coaches at the biggest school in the borough. “You have to figure out who’s in your top five, and then make sure everybody is healthy.

“It’s to our advantage because we have the numbers. We can fill in without losing as much.”

Individual wins went to Kenai Central junior Maison Dunham and Homer senior Autumn Daigle.

Daigle overcame two common adversaries to notch her first borough title — Kenai Central runners and new shoes.

When Daigle was a freshman, the borough title went Kenai’s Riana Boonstra. As a sophomore, Kenai’s Addison Gibson won. Finally, Jaycie Calvert took the prize when Daigle was a junior.

Making matters worse last year was the fact that Daigle wore new shoes that tore up her feet.

“I actually had new shoes on again today, but I wore socks this time,” Daigle See run, Page B2

Seward’s Jacoby smashes records, SoHi’s Evans defends Pentathlon title

Soldotna junior Ethan Evans proved once again that he has no rival, while Seward sophomore Lydia Jacoby and Homer junior Madison Story renewed their rivalry, Friday at the 2019 SoHi Pentathlon at Soldotna High School.

In the Pentathlon, each competitor swims the 100-yard individual medley, 50 butterfly, 50 backstroke, 50 breaststroke and 50 freestyle.

Those five times are added up to determine the winner.

The top swimmers also are used to calculate team scores.

On the girls side, Homer won while Soldotna was second and Kodiak was third. On the boys side, Kenai came out on top while Colony was second

and Kodiak was third.

Last season as a freshman, Jacoby took a pair of region titles, pair of state titles, and was named the top girls swimmer at both the region and state meets. But one

thing she didn’t do was win the Pentathlon, coming in second to Story.

She filled in that hole Friday in record fashion. Jacoby started the meet by breaking Jackie VanDriessche’s

2005 meet record in the 100 IM. VanDriessche, also of Seward, was at 1:00.82, while Jacoby was at 1:00.51.

Then Jacoby topped off the night by setting a new record for meet total. VanDriessche’s 2:53.97 had stood since 2005, but Jacoby lowered that to 2:53.77. Jacoby said she does not know VanDriessche personally, but that Seward’s coach, Meghan O’Leary, knows VanDriessche.

“It means a lot,” Jacoby said of winning her first Pentathlon title. “It’s a really fun meet to swim with my friends, then we get to hang out afterward.”

Jacoby served notice of her intentions by defeating Story by more than a second in the IM. Nobody else was within See swim, Page B2

Peninsula Clarion

Houston football blows past Nikiski

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

Tasked with trying to slow an unstoppable force, the Nikiski Bulldogs found out Friday night why the Houston Hawks are undefeated and aiming for another postseason berth.

Houston thrashed Nikiski 47-0 to strengthen its spot at the top of the Peninsula Conference standings, and also etched a new school record into its program history with its sixth straight win. Houston improved to 6-0 overall this year (3-0 in conference), while Nikiski dropped to 1-4 overall (1-1 conference).

“I wouldn’t be surprised if they take the conference again,” said Nikiski coach Paul Nelson. “I think they look better this year than last year.

“We would’ve had to play our absolute best game to have a chance and we didn’t do that.”

The Nikiski senior class also knows how dangerous Houston currently is, and receiver Michael Eiter didn’t mince words about the Hawks going far.

“To be honest, I hope Houston wins state,” Eiter said. “They deserve it. Their seniors deserve it. They’re playing their butts off every game.”

Sometimes, it also takes a bit of extra motivation. After winning the conference last year with a 7-1 regular season mark, the Hawks lost their playoff opener.

This year, Houston head coach Glenn Nelson said the team’s Sept. 6 game with Homer, a 20-8 victory that wasn’t settled until the fourth quarter, helped kick

the Hawks into a higher gear.

“We wanted to come out here and set a tone early,” Nelson said. “I think we did that.”

The Hawks dominated the line of scrimmage all day. Nikiski fumbled the ball away four times in the first half while punting or giving it up on downs on four other occasions.

Houston scored on its first six possessions, helping build a 28-0 lead in the first quarter and a 47-0 lead by halftime, and outgained Nikiski in yardage 328-98 in the first half.

“They’re big, fast, strong, physical guys, they played a clean game, and it showed on the scoreboard,” Paul Nelson said. “We couldn’t move it against them on offense, and they did what they wanted when they were on offense.”

The Bulldogs’ offensive woes continued a recent trend — Nikiski has nine points over the last three games, including two shutouts. Friday at home, Nikiski had seven snaps total in Houston’s half of the field.

Most of that came on the opening drive when Micheal Mysing ripped off a 37-yard scramble to set up the Bulldogs at the Houston 32-yard line. Nikiski ended up turning the ball over on downs.

The very next play — Houston’s first offensive snap of the game — resulted in a 70-yard touchdown burst

by Owen Mulhaney, putting the Hawks ahead. Mulhaney finished the day with a teamhigh 103 yards and three TD runs.

“They were more physical than us the entire game,” Eiter said. “They started picking up on some of our plays, started calling them out,

said. “That’s why my toes aren’t bleeding.”

Daigle won at 19 minutes, 28 seconds, while Kenai freshman Jayna Boonstra was second at 20:15 and Soldotna sophomore Jordan Strausbaugh nabbed third at 20:46.

Though the margin of victory was big, it was not easy.

“It was actually kind of hard,” Daigle said. “I think I have a mental block for this course, but it still worked out.

“Every time I saw an uphill, I’d sprint up it just to get going. I’m not sure that was a good idea.”

Especially because Homer missed hill workouts early in the year due to wildfire smoke.

“We did them inside on stairs, but that’s not the same,” she said.

Boonstra surprised herself with her runner-up finish. She said she

five seconds. Story would finish at 2:56.74.

“I was mentally prepared for her to win,” Story said. “She’s the fastest 15-year-old breaststroker in the nation, and the IM is heavy on the breaststroke. I think it was a healthy and fun competition.”

The two friendly rivals would split the rest of the events, with Jacoby winning the 50 butterfly and 50 breaststroke (in 29.68, off her meet record of 29.47), and Story taking the 50 backstroke and 50 freestyle.

“I didn’t expect to win the meet, but I hoped to,” Jacoby said. “I’m sure she felt the same way. I’m sure we’re going to keep going back and forth throughout high school.”

Story did get to go home with the team championship. Homer’s Adeline Berry was fourth, while Ella Blanton-Yourkowski was 12th to give the Mariners the win.

“It’s really amazing to me,” Story said. “When I started swimming as a 5-year-old, I was the only girl out

knew exactly what we were doing.”

The biggest Nikiski firsthalf highlight came courtesy of junior Caileb Payne, who picked off Houston QB Gavin Mulhaney while Houston was deep in the red zone.

However, Nikiski still had trouble moving from the deep end of their field, as a sack by Houston defensive end Kennedy Fono pushed the Bulldogs back, and a fumble that Fono recovered set the Hawks up for another touchdown.

Mysing, a speedy runner who has the ability to turn on a dime, said making it through the wall of defenders was the biggest challenge. After his long run in

was able to pull away from Strausbaugh in the last mile, which is good, because Boonstra doesn’t like sprint finishes.

“I was hoping to maybe get third, so I’m pretty excited,” Boonstra said, who competed in just her second varsity race this season. “I didn’t know what to expect, because it was my first year running.”

Also scoring for the boroughchampion Stars were Erika Arthur in fifth, Cameron Blackwell in 10th, Ryann Cannava in 12th and Isabella Dammeyer in 13th.

Homer also received top-10 finishes from Brooke Miller in sixth and Eryn Field in seventh, while Kenai had Logan Satathite in fourth and Leah Fallon in eighth.

Seward was able to put together a varsity team and had freshman Lena Jagielski take ninth.

Dunham won the borough title for the third straight season, setting up the possibility of a career sweep next season. He finished at 16:37, while Soldotna’s Bradley Walters

was second at 17:20 and Kenai’s Joe Hamilton was third at 17:28.

After running his best time ever at Tsalteshi, and tying the best 5K mark of his career, Dunham said he was happy considering the circumstances.

“This is my third race and it’s already boroughs,” he said. “It’s kind of annoying.”

Dunham fell behind in the first kilometer, but that was because Hamilton and Walters took the race out fast.

“I was just trying to keep up with Joe,” Walters said. “He beat me last week at Palmer, so maybe we went out too fast, but it turned out fine.”

Dunham quickly bolted to a large lead after the first kilometer, while Walters fell into a pack with Hamilton and Homer’s Eyoab Knapp.

Walters was able to emerge as the clear leader of that pack by the fourth kilometer.

Travel and practice restrictions were in place boroughwide, but Dunham and Walters wondered

for the swim team. Now we have so many girls we could win regions.”

The Stars came in second thanks to Madelyn Barkman taking sixth, Katie Creglow taking seventh and Madison Snyder snaring eighth.

Riley Reese led Kenai in 13th.

Evans won four of five events in commanding his second-straight Pentathlon. He took control of the meet right away by winning the 100 individual medley by over two seconds.

The SoHi junior had a total of 2 minutes, 35.47 seconds, while Kodiak’s Ian Rocheleau was second in 2:43.24.

“Other than regions and state, this is the biggest meet for me,” said Evans of the Pentathlon, which was held for a 38th time. “Especially with it being at Soldotna.”

The only race Evans lost was the 50 freestyle. Seward’s Connor Spanos touched at 22.89 seconds, with Evans at 22.98. Spanos would finish fourth in the meet total.

“My goal was to run the table,” Evans said. “If someone had to beat me, I’m glad it was Connor. He’s a great friend. I’ve stayed at his house in Seward.”

the first quarter, Mysing was contained the rest of the way with his longest carry of 10 yards in the second half.

Mysing finished the day with a team-high 81 rush yards.

“They’re ready to key on me, they’re looking for it and expecting it,” Mysing said.

“They’re hitting me hard, and it’s hard to get by that.”

Glenn Nelson said Houston tried to mix its passing and ground games in the first half, leading to the offensive success. Houston senior quarterback Gavin Mulhaney also kept Nikiski off balance with a deadly passing game, hitting 5 of 6 targets for two touchdowns and 116 yards.

His favorite receiver, junior Tolupo Falaniko, caught

Evans also lauded Rocheleau for a great meet, saying the Kodiak swimmer would have won the 50 backstroke if he had 25 more yards.

Evans had his eye on the 50 breaststroke meet record of Soldotna graduate Joshua Gemmell from 2000. Gemmell finished at 27.04, while Evans was at 27.90.

The Soldotna junior said he’d

how the shortened season will affect them at regions and state, where the competition didn’t miss early season meets.

“Coming back into the season after missing races isn’t easy,” Walters said. “The smoke has made it a really hard season.”

Also scoring for the borough champion Stars were Lance Chilton in eighth, Anchor Musgrave in 10th, Maleda Denbrock in 13th and Quinn Cox in 15th.

The runner-up Seahawks put three in the top 10 with Max Pfeiffenberger in fourth, Trey Ingalls in seventh and Bjorn Nilsson in ninth.

Knapp ended up fifth to pace Homer, while Nikolaevsk sophomore Justin Trail was sixth, a notable development because there will be a separate Class 1-2A state race this season.

The Nikiski boys, led by Braydon Whiteside in 27th, were able to put together a team, while Port Graham had Malachi Joseph take 31st and Eli Moonin take 32nd.

three balls for 85 yards and both touchdowns.

“He’s done really well throwing the ball the last two games,” Nelson said.

Nikiski signal-caller Noah Litke ended the day 4 for 7 with 21 pass yards, targeting Eiter the most with three catches for 13 yards.

The Bulldogs travel to Homer next Saturday for a crucial Peninsula Conference clash. Homer beat Nikiski 50-18 earlier this year in a nonconference meeting, and both teams head into next weekend’s game with playoff hopes on the line.

like to take a shot at that record, as well as the 2016 mark of Kodiak’s Talon Lindquist in the meet total.

Lindquist finished at 2:29.40 that year.

But in the immediate future, Evans has his eye on state titles in the 50 freestyle and 100 breaststroke. SoHi hasn’t had a state title in a swimming event since 2003.

“That’s been something on my mind,” Evans said. “I remember seeing it in the paper in seventh or eighth grade. I still have that paper for motivation for working hard in the summer.”

Kenai won the team competition by placing four in the top 11 — Owen Rolph in sixth, Trevor Bagley in seventh, Koda Poulin in eighth and Sorin Sorensen in 11th. Hunter Hollingsworth also finished 12th for Seward, while Skyler Rodriguez was 13th to lead Homer.

The results of Saturday’s Soldotna Invitational were not yet available Saturday night and will be run in the Tuesday Peninsula Clarion.

Bears take last 2 at Showcase Eagle River football tops Kenai Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears put on an extended show at the season-opening North American Hockey League Showcase from Wednesday through Saturday in Blaine, Minnesota.

The Bears went to a shootout in three of their games, and played in overtime in the other, meaning Kenai River finished just 2 minutes, 3 seconds, shy of the maximum number of minutes possible at the tourney.

“We just wanted to get our guys as much ice time as possible,” joked Kenai River head coach Kevin Murdock.

After losses Wednesday and Thursday, the Bears won 4-3 in a shootout over the Jamestown (Pennsylvania) Rebels on Friday and 4-3 in a shootout over the Austin (Minnesota) Bruins on Saturday.

At 2-0-1-1, the Bears now travel to play the Minnesota Magicians on Friday and Saturday.

“We’re feeling pretty great about it,” Murdock said. “It’d be nice to start winning some games in regulation, but coming out of the Showcase with six of eight points with the few practices we’ve had is pretty good.”

Murdock claimed his first NAHL victory Friday.

“It feels great, especially the way it happened, tying it up late in the game,” Murdock

said.

Kenai River goaltender Landon Pavlisin stopped all three Jamestown attackers in the shootout, while Eagle River’s Brandon Lajoie scored for Kenai River.

After Jamestown got on the board first, Kenai River’s Stewart Pond, on assists from Soldotna’s Preston Weeks and Lajoie, tied the game with 27 seconds left in the first period.

Just 2:12 into the second period, Logan Ritchie, on assists from Wasilla’s Porter Schachle and Theo Thrun, put the Bears up, but the Rebels would score twice to take a 3-2 lead into the third.

With just 16 seconds left in regulation, JJ Boucher, assisted by Eagle River’s Zach Krajnik and Schachle, scored to tie the game. Murdock said Ritchie won two key faceoffs after the goalie was pulled to set up Boucher’s goal.

Pavlisin had 24 saves for the Bears, while Jon Howe stopped 28 for the Rebels.

Saturday, it was Danny Fraga getting the job done in net, making 38 saves and stopping all three in the shootout. Laudon Poellinger had the game-winner in the shootout. Murdock said all three goalies were great throughout the Showcase, which was great after losing last year’s star goalie, Gavin Enright, to the United States Hockey League.

Ritchie scored twice in the first period, once assisted by

Poellinger, as the Bears lead 2-0 after 20 minutes.

After Austin tied it at 2 in the second, Robert McCollum scored with just nine seconds left in the second for a 3-2 lead. Austin would tie it in the third to set up the shootout.

Jaxon Friedman saved 18 for the Bruins.

Murdock said Friday and Saturday were not the Bears’ best games of the Showcase.

“At the end of the day, the guys pulled it off,” he said.

“Good teams find a way to win games.”

CIA soccer finishes 1-2 on homestand The Cook Inlet Academy Eagles lost a pair of weekend games to finish 1-2 on a three-game homestand at the Kenai Soccer Complex.

CIA lost 3-2 Friday to Su-Valley and 3-1 Saturday to Birchwood Christian, dropping their season tally to 1-5-2 in Borealis Conference play.

Friday against Su-Valley, the Eagles went down 3-0 before second-half goals brought CIA back into the game. Dalton Pinard scored twice for the defending Borealis Conference champions, with goals in the third and 45th minutes.

CIA got on the board in the 52nd minute with a goal from Noah Castenholz, who

received a through ball from Isaac Johnson at the top of the penalty area to score.

The Eagles cut the lead to one in the 75th minute when Johnson and Castenholz teamed up again with Johnson getting the scoring strike.

CIA could not complete the comeback, however, as head coach Kenny Leaf pointed to the slow start as reason why.

“I’m not happy with the hole we dug for ourselves,” Leaf wrote in an email. “But hats off to our kids for battling a full 80 minutes.”

Leaf also praised the defense of Eddie Erickson and the on-field efforts of Castenholz and Tatum Rozak.

Saturday, Birchwood Christian was able to beat CIA for a third time in 2019.

Just like Friday, the Eagles fell into a 3-0 hole by the early minutes of the second half, giving up goals in the 28th minute to Jackson Hanson and the 40th to Braden Palmer for a 2-0 halftime lead.

CIA mistakenly added an own goal in the 47th to push Birchwood’s lead to three.

Johnson scored unassisted for CIA in the 68th minute, but the rally fell short.

CIA hits the road next weekend for a Friday game against Holy Rosary Academy before returning home for the team’s senior night Saturday against Lumen Christi.

The Eagle River Wolves rolled to a 31-0 Northern Lights Conference win Saturday over Kenai Central, and locked up a Division II state playoff spot in the process.

Eagle River, last year’s Division II runner-up to Soldotna, improved to 2-0 in conference and 4-2 overall this year. Kenai dropped to 0-1 in its NLC opener and 1-4 overall.

Kenai head coach Dustin Akana said mistakes and lapses in judgment doomed the Kardinals, who were backed up 90 yards on 13 penalties.

“We’re our own worst enemies,” Akana said.

“That’s exactly what it was today … we just hurt ourselves on plays, whether it was by (penalty) flag, turning the ball over, not doing our responsibilities.”

Akana also said Kenai struggled to establish a strong run game against the Eagle River line. The Kardinals finished with 83 team rushing yards, led by Tucker Vann’s 57.

The inability to get a ground game going led to senior Kayden Daniels

opening up the pass game, as Daniels threw 18 times, hitting 10 targets for 78 yards with two interceptions.

Cashiez Reaves led the Wolves with two touchdowns runs and 142 rushing yards. Reaves punched it in from a yard out in the second quarter to give Eagle River a 10-0 lead at halftime, then bust free for 50 yards in the third quarter to push the lead to 17-0.

Overall, the Wolves ground out 248 yards on 42 carries.

“They brought it today,” Akana said about the Wolves. “They were pushing to end the season strong, but we just take care of what we have in front of us next.”

Kenai will travel to Kodiak next weekend for an NLC contest that will likely decide Kenai’s playoff fate.

Homer 30, Seward 0 The Mariners secured a Peninsula Conference victory Saturday in Seward.

Homer (1-1 conference, 3-2 overall) moved into a three-way tie for second in the Peninsula Conference standings with Nikiski and Ketchikan. Houston leads the division at 3-0.

Seward dropped to 0-3 in conference, 0-6 overall.

Seward head coach Kelly

Cinereski said the Seahawks had their hands full against Homer QB Anthony Kalugin, who helped get the Mariners out to a 16-0 lead at halftime.

Homer scored once in both the third and fourth quarters to put the game away.

“We played hard, we’re just young,” Cinereski said.

“We shined at times, but other times just couldn’t seem to stop them.”

Next weekend, Homer hosts Nikiski, while Seward hits the road against Eielson, which lost 42-0 Saturday to Barrow.

Homer leads peninsula at West Spiketacular The Homer Mariners finished tied for fifth among 18 teams at the West Spiketacular volleyball tournament in Anchorage, the highest placer among peninsula schools.

Kenai Central finished tied for seventh, Soldotna finished in a tie for ninth and Nikiski ended up tied for 13th.

Following Friday’s pool play, Homer defeated Service 2-0 in the opening bracket before losing to East 2-1. In the lower bracket, the Mariners beat West Valley 2-0 and Kenai 2-0 to make it to a lower bracket semifinal. Homer lost 2-0 to West Anchorage.

Kenai lost to Colony 2-0 in bracket play, but then went on a run in the lower bracket, beating the West JV team 2-0 and Chugiak

2-0. However, the Kards lost to Homer 2-0 to end their tournament.

Nikiski beat Houston 2-0 before losing to East 2-0. That relegated the Bulldogs to the lower bracket, where they beat Grace Christian 2-1 but lost 2-0 to Service to end the day.

Soldotna lost to Chugiak 2-0, then defeated Juneau 2-0 before losing to Colony 2-1.

The teams were sorted into the bracket based on pool play results Friday. Homer went 4-4 in pool play to finish fifth of nine teams in pool A. In pool B, Kenai and Soldotna both went 3-5 to finish fifth and sixth, respectively, while Nikiski was 2-6 to finish eighth.

White House upgrade: Melania Trump done a lot with the place

By Darlene Superville Associated Press

WASHINGTON — She’s done a lot with the place.

Like anyone who has ever spruced up their home, Melania Trump had a few new touches to showcase Friday when guests visited the White House for only the second state dinner of the Trump presidency.

There’s refreshed wall fabric in the Red Room, repurposed draperies in the Green Room and restored furniture in the Blue Room. And those are just some of the home improvement projects the first lady has overseen to keep the well-trod public rooms at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. looking their museum-quality best.

Some of the projects were long overdue.

Sunlight streaming into the Red Room had left some of the wall fabric “so faded it was almost pink,” said Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association, which helps finance upkeep of some rooms in the

132-room mansion. First lady Jacqueline Kennedy founded the private, nonprofit organization in 1961.

“Those rooms should always look their very best and it was just very faded and really, really needed to be done,” McLaurin said.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and his wife, Jenny, and guests for Friday’s three-course state dinner in their honor should have an opportunity to check out the spiffed-up public rooms.

In her role as caretaker, the first lady — whoever she is — meets regularly with the chief usher, the head curator and other White House staff to figure out what improvements should top the to-do list.

Mrs. Trump, who keeps a relatively low profile as first lady, has put her interest in history to use overseeing the restoration projects.

“Our family is grateful to live in this true symbol of our nation’s history, but we are even more honored to play a part in restoring and enhancing our country’s

sacred landmark,” she said at a May reception.

The first lady designed a new rug for the Diplomatic Reception Room, the main entrance off the South Lawn, after foot traffic wore a path across the old one, McLaurin said. The replacement has a border showing the flowers of the 50 states, a touch added by the first lady.

The White House also refreshed draperies in the Green Room by switching material from the backside to the front, eliminating the need — and cost — of replacing the curtains entirely, McLaurin said. Only the fringe had to be

spending $1 million to $1.5 million on such projects each year.

The White House serves several purposes: It’s an office for the president and his staff, a home for his family and a living museum.

Approximately half a million tourists visit every year, apart from dignitaries and others who attend receptions and other events.

“The White House does get a lot of wear and tear,” McLaurin said.

The Bellange suite furnishings were brought to the White House in 1817 by President James Monroe, formerly the U.S.

replaced.

Last year, Mrs. Trump returned to the Blue Room several restored pieces from a historic 53-piece furniture set known as the Bellangé suite.

Decor upgrades are a bit more complicated at the White House than for typical homeowners.

Renovation ideas are shared with the Kennedy-created Committee for the Preservation of the White House, which provides advice on preserving the public rooms on the Ground and State floors.

The committee requests funding from the historical association, whose board typically authorizes

4 ways to cover college costs if financial aid isn’t enough

By Ryan Lane NerdWallet

For 61% of students, college costs more than they expected, according to a recent survey from College Ave Student Loans conducted by Barnes & Noble College Insights.

Yoselin Guzman, an 18-year-old UCLA freshman from Compton, California, can see why.

“There’s like little costs you don’t even see,” says Guzman, noting how expensive dorm items, books and student orientation are.

When those unexpected costs arise — and your existing financial aid won’t cut it — here are four options to get more money for school.

1. Crowdfund the shortfall When Guzman realized her savings and scholarships wouldn’t cover her college expenses, she started a GoFundMe campaign to crowdfund $5,000.

“I was a little embarrassed to show people I’m struggling financially,” Guzman says.

Getting over those fears helped cover her funding gap. Now, she

says the donations have “given me that confidence that I’m not alone in this world.”

She’s certainly not alone on GoFundMe: The website hosts over 100,000 education-related campaigns each year, though not all are for college tuition and success varies.

“We’ve seen an increase in crowdsourcing as an option for covering college costs,” says Brad Lindberg, assistant vice president for enrollment at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa.

But Lindberg cautions students to work with their school’s financial aid office before starting a campaign. The additional funding might affect future aid eligibility, he says.

2. Increase your work schedule GoFundMe allows students to keep any funds they receive, even if they fall short of their overall goal.

But there’s no guarantee you’ll get any money. Working, though, is a surefire way to do that.

If you’re eligible for a work-study job, that’s typically the best option.

“Your supervisor is a built-in mentor; they understand you are a student first (and there’s) flexibility in scheduling,” says Ashley Bianchi, director of financial aid at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts.

If you already have a job, consider working more hours.

That may be tricky with workstudy positions, since earnings are capped at a specific amount, so look off campus or on a college student-focused job board.

Just be careful not to overextend yourself. Bianchi says her college recommends students work six to seven hours a week; Lindberg puts 10 hours as a reasonable amount.

But some students may be able to handle more based on their schedules and activities.

Always opt for grants first, and know the costs of any loan before borrowing. Leslie Kemp, director of the Aggie Compass Basic Needs Center at UC Davis, also encourages students facing financial shortfalls to think long-term.

“What’s your plan when the $500 runs out?” she says.

One solution is to use free resources that make other expenses, like groceries, more manageable. Kemp says there’s a line out the door when her school’s food pantry opens.

If you can’t find similar services on your campus, Kemp says to look for help at religious organizations, food banks and other nonprofit groups.

3. Check emergency aid programs

Money you don’t repay — like donations, wages and emergency grants — is the best way to address unexpected college costs.

But student loans may be a necessity for some: Among the 61% of students surprised by the cost of college, 30% underestimated what they needed by $10,000 or more.

“If you’re short by enough that

Many schools offer emergency financial assistance. For example, the University of California, Davis, has emergency grants that don’t require repayment. It also offers short-term loans that range from $500 to $1,500.

there’s a comma in the number, you might need to borrow,” says Joe DePaulo, CEO and co-founder of College Ave Student Loans.

That assumes you haven’t already reached your borrowing maximum .

The government limits the amount of federal loans you can receive. Most first-year students can take out up to $5,500 in their name, and no one can borrow more than their school’s cost of attendance, the total needed for tuition, fees, room and board and other expenses.

Visit your school’s financial aid office to discuss your options — especially if your financial situation has changed since you started school.

“It’s important to work through why the student is experiencing a shortfall in order to determine the best course of action,” Lindberg says.

That action may be borrowing, or it could be something else like starting a tuition payment plan or earning an outside scholarship.

Ultimately, the financial aid office should be your first stop if you run into trouble.

Moving plants indoors for winter? Ease them into it gently

By Dean Fosdick Associated Press

Moving houseplants indoors with the onset of cold weather is not your typical furniture-shifting exercise. It requires planning, since houseplants for the most part are tender tropicals and need time to acclimate to a changed growing environment.

“Bring them in over a two-week period,” said Kate Karam, editorial director for Monrovia Nursery Co. in Azuza, California.

“Some people move them from full sun to full shade (outdoors) to simulate the reduction in indoor lighting. I bring mine in at night and take them out again in the morning. And then eventually I just keep them in.”

Houseplants freak out if you simply run them inside and plunk them down on a windowsill, she said. Such haste frequently results in plant shock and leaf drop.

“A little bit of patience will save you a lot of heartbreak,” Karam said.

Check closely for such leaf-sucking pests as aphids, mealy bugs and spider mites.

Deal with them outdoors if the plants are infested.

“I hose them (plants) down and then

give them a good treatment of neem oil,” Karam said. Neem oil is an organic pesticide, a byproduct of seeds from the neem tree.

“It’s good at killing things that crawl,” she said. “Use it at half strength from a spray bottle. It’s a helpful thing to have in your arsenal for houseplants.”

Quarantine houseplants for a time after bringing them indoors, said Diana Alfuth, an Extension horticulture educator with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“Sitting outside, there may be all kinds of things living in them,” Alfuth said.

“One year I brought in my plants and very shortly found a little frog hopping across my dining room floor.”

Indoor gardening with tropicals like hibiscus, bougainvillea, mandevilla and palms can get complicated. Tasks to manage include lighting, water, temperature, humidity and nutrition, and they’re all inter-related.

“Lighting and watering are the most important,” Alfuth said. “Watering is related to how much light there is.”

Try placing houseplants in the sunniest areas of the house. Windows filter out the sun, somewhat hampering photosynthesis, the process that creates the sugars and

carbohydrates needed for plants to grow.

It also gets cloudier in winter, so consider taking measures to elevate light levels. Keep the windows clean, remove the screens and add supplemental lighting.

Overwatering houseplants is one of the most common mistakes in gardening. It suffocates the roots and allows root fungi to settle in, Alfuth said.

Water only when the plants need it. “Dig your finger into the surface of the soil and if it’s dry one-half inch deep, then it’s time to water,” she said.

Bring plants indoors to avoid chill injury when overnight lows dip consistently into the mid-40s. Most houseplants prefer days between 65 and 75 degrees, with nights about 10 degrees colder, Alfuth said.

Keep plants away from heat vents and out of entryways where drafts can become too dry or too cold.

“There’s little active growth in most houseplants in winter so they don’t need any fertilizer,” said David Trinklein, an Extension horticulturist with the University of Missouri.

“In most cases, overwintering tropical plants not only saves money but also results in larger, more impressive plants the next year,” Trinklein said.

Students learn by building tiny home

By Peter Salter Lincoln Journal Star

LINCOLN, Neb. — The idea appeared two years ago, as bright as a light bulb, and Indigo Mathes knew he needed to build a tiny house — or at least try to.

“I just went full steam ahead,” he said. “I wanted to see if any old person could make one.”

Or any young person. At the time, Mathes was starting his junior year of high school, and was trying to decide what to work on for the Science Focus Program’s twoyear research project. He’d spent his freshman and sophomore years surveying residential architectural styles of Lincoln’s neighborhoods, though he was losing interest.

“I thought about some continuation of that, but I was getting bored staring at Google maps.”

Then, the tiny home idea.

Mathes plans to be an architect — he left Lincoln this month to study architecture at Montana State — and had been thinking about the tiny housing movement as a way to counter housing shortages, especially in big cities.

He had some construction experience helping his mother with remodeling projects at their home on Ryons Street.

He also had a classmate who embraced the idea. Zakk Hoferer knew the challenge would teach him design, creative thinking and problem-solving — all lessons that will serve his goal of also becoming an architect.

It would also teach him basic building. “Before this, I had hardly

ambassador to France.

But in 1860, nearly all the pieces were sold at an auction.

One hundred years later, Jacqueline Kennedy arrived and was appalled to discover the White House was furnished with reproductions from a New York department store, McLaurin said. She created the historical association, the advisory committee and a curator to help the White House collect and exhibit only the best, McLaurin said.

The White House has managed to reacquire 10 pieces from the original suite, made in Paris by Pierre-Antoine Bellangé.

The rest of the collection is “lost to history,” McLaurin said.

The Bellangé restoration project began during Michelle Obama’s time as first lady and was completed last year, costing the historical association more than $450,000 since 2013.

The wood, brass and lighting inside an elevator that takes the president to and from the private living quarters has also been refinished.

used a drill,” said Hoferer, now a student at the University of Kansas.

“I had a lot to learn in terms of carpentry.”

But when the two pitched the idea, their teachers at the Zoo School were apprehensive. Other students were proposing studying Antarctic core samples or surveying regional water quality or tracking wild bee population trends across the state. Nobody had ever wanted to build a house before.

“We tend to focus on experimental projects,” science teacher Emily Rose Seifferlein told the Lincoln Journal Star . “But having said that, we want the kids to be able to explore their interests. We had to kind of trust they were going to get it done.”

Shari Sorenson wasn’t surprised.

Her son Indigo had grown up making her gifts — sticks wrapped in string, repurposed garbage — and had evolved to helping with their house, building floating decks and rewiring the garage.

Still, she questioned the money, and the time involved. “I think I said, ‘That’s a great idea, but do you know what it takes to build a house?’ I thought it was an awful lot to get done in a year.”

Construction didn’t begin until they were seniors. They spent the first year with busywork — preparing a budget, building models, getting ready. But then, last summer, they found a used tandem-axle trailer to serve as the home’s rolling foundation. And the real work began.

They started by modifying the trailer — removing the side rails to

the high-traffic Diplomatic Reception Room.

Mrs. Trump also renovated a bowling alley in the White House residence that dates to the Nixon administration and was last renovated in 1994 under President Bill Clinton. The Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America paid for the renovation.

During the Obama years, the red carpet in the Cross Hall, or hallway, on the State Floor was replaced.

Mrs. Obama also oversaw projects with an eye on leaving her family’s mark on the White House, as is the case with every president and first lady.

She replaced the rug, draperies and high-back chairs around the table in the State Dining Room.

Mrs. Obama also updated the Old Family Dining Room, a smaller room adjacent to the State Dining Room, by swapping its sunny yellow walls and drapery and light-toned rug for gray walls, contrasting red draperies and a rug with a contemporary design.

Four works of American abstract art also were added to the Old Family Dining Room, including a work that made Alma Thomas the first AfricanAmerican female artist featured thePeninsula Whitefor 18 years Serving thein Kenai House collection.

accommodate the home’s 8-foot width, and bolstering it with steel reinforcements.

They chose a 2-by-4 frame; it cut weight and preserved square footage. Then they started spending hundreds of hours on YouTube, trying to become builders.

“That’s the great thing about the tiny house,” Mathes said. “There’s a community around it. Everyone likes to share what they’ve learned.”

And if they were going to cram all of the comforts of a traditional home — couch, kitchen, shower, toilet, water heater, living area, loft — into an 8-by-16-by-13-foot box, they had a lot to learn.

For instance, Mathes spent three or four days studying every type of insulation, settling on closed-cell spray foam. It’s effective against Nebraska’s temperature extremes, and it adds rigidity.

That’s important for a trailerbased home. “If you’re going to be pulling it, you don’t want your walls to be moving around,” he said.

He’d replaced outlets and light fixtures, but he’d never designed and installed an electrical system.

And he had even less experience with plumbing. Some of the steps were frustrating, he said.

Still, when he wasn’t in school or working at Target, he was a homebuilder. He handcrafted the kitchen cabinets, fitting a butcher block as the counter. He built seven steep steps to the loft, adding storage beneath them. He installed recessed LED lighting, vinyl siding, a steel roof, found just the right odd-sized bathroom sink he

needed at Ikea.

He lost track of the hours, but guessed he and Hoferer spent more than 1,000 on their school project. And it’s close, maybe 90% complete. But building the interior has slowed him down.

“The finishing touches are really expensive,” he said. “There’s been lots of money going out every week.”

So far, he estimated they’ve put about $12,000 in supplies and materials into the home.

And they had help. Lincoln businesses were generous, he said, donating flooring, siding, insulation and light fixtures. Licensed electricians and plumbers gave him their time and guidance, and

Hand-crafted is popular these days, and many home decorators are looking for unique textiles and other furnishings that feature the look of hand-drawn art.

Items like the eclectic, playful wallpapers of Brooklyn-based artist Aimee Wilder , who designed for brands like DwellStudio, Martha Stewart and Vans before starting her own studio. She’s expanded the line beyond wallpaper to include rugs, pillows, fabrics and poufs, and collaborates with prominent design brands on showroom design and installations.

“I’ve been making graphic pieces since the early 2000s and I knew I wanted my own brand way back then,” Wilder recalls. “I just knew that my work was a good fit for home textiles, maybe filling a hole, since back then most interior stuff was pretty traditional or more globally inspired.”

Mathes plans to return from Montana next month to finish the house. He’d thought about towing it back to college, but doesn’t have a truck. He’ll likely try to sell it.

WASHINGTON — U.S. home sales rose 1.3% in August to the highest level in 17 months, as mortgage rates near historic lows have spurred a rush of home-buying.

The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that homes sold last month at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 5.49 million units, the best performance since March 2018. Sales have increased 2.6% from a year ago.

“Consumers seem to still be confident in their finances, and are clearly feeling good enough to make large purchases such as buying a home,” said John Pataky, executive vice president at TIAA Bank. “The prolonged period of low mortgage rates has helped pull buyers off the sidelines by making home purchases a more affordable proposition.”

An unusual and difficult journey to the Kenai

By Clark Fair

of the members of the Brooklynbased mining company appeared to have been crushed.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

Shortly thereafter, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle produced a headline announcing that company officials had determined the Agate was safe after all; the wreckage, said the newspaper, had come from some other unlucky vessel.

A few weeks later, in early April, came a definitive sighting of the Agate near Rio de Janeiro, off the coast of Brazil, still on course to sail around Cape Horn and then northward to San Francisco.

Back in New York, members of the mining company sighed with relief.

Reports vary, but the Kings County Mining Company had about 60 shareholders, all with a financial stake of five $100 shares, for a total investment of $30,000 (about $828,000 in today’s money).

They also had a 50-year charter and plenty of optimism.

In fact, the day before they set sail, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle characterized the company as “made up of good businessmen, all determined before they return to amass good-sized fortunes.”

To help them realize this golden goal, the Agate was carrying nearly all of the company’s gear—small steam-powered launch boats, mining implements, tents, and about two years’ worth of provisions—plus about 30 members of the company, in addition to a captain and crew. According to their stated plan, once the ship reached San Francisco, they would telegraph notice of their arrival back to New York, and the remaining members of the expedition would journey by transcontinental railroad to unite the full company.

But the Spanish-American War, which also began in 1898, complicated matters.

For the Peninsula Clarion

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first part of a two-part story about the Kings County Mining Company’s expedition to the Kenai Peninsula in 1898.

In the City Hall lobby in Homer is a small section of one wall dedicated to local history. In a small frame on that wall is an orangebrown photocopy of a document cover more than a century old and titled “Constitution and By-Laws of the Kings County Mining Company of New York.” The story behind that document and its connection to Homer and the central Kenai Peninsula requires a step back in time and across the North American continent.

Two things are important to understand from the beginning: First, the Kings County Mining Company originally had no intention of going to the Kenai. Its advertised goal was the Klondike, in Canada’s Yukon Territory, where gold had been discovered in 1896. Second, shortly after the expedition was launched in mid-February 1898, many people believed it had ended in tragedy.

But not everything is what it seems. Changing plans and adapting to obstacles were going to be the norm on this expedition.

Only about a week after the three-masted bark, the Agate, had set sail from Pier 4 in New York’s East River, this headline appeared in The New York Times: “THE AGATE’S OWNERS WORRIED. Uncertainty as to Whether Wreckage Reported Off Barnegat Is that of the Bark.”

Barnegat is a sheltered bay off the New Jersey coast. Floating debris had been spotted nearby, and early reports pointed to the Agate. The well-financed dreams

was prowling the east coast of South America. Fearing that the American vessel might be captured, the United States consul in Montevideo, present-day capital of Uruguay, halted the Agate’s voyage there and caused a considerable delay.

In fact, due also in part to heavy weather experienced in traveling around the Horn, the Agate did not arrive in San Francisco until late August. By the time mining company members back in Brooklyn clambered aboard the West Shore Railroad and began their journey westward, they were well behind schedule, and the season was growing late.

As August became September and crept toward October, members of the Kings County Mining Company reconsidered their plans. Deciding they were too close to winter to reach the Yukon gold fields, they opted instead for the Kenai Peninsula and set their sights on the burgeoning mining town of Sunrise.

Gold had been discovered in the Hope and Sunrise area by at least the early 1890s. When word got out, miners surged in.

In spring of 1896, according to the Hope & Sunrise Historical Society, 3,000 gold seekers sailed into Cook Inlet. By the summer of 1898, there were an estimated 8,000, and, for a few weeks, Sunrise City, along Sixmile Creek, was the largest town in Alaska

Mini Quiz:

Why, Punctuation Matters!

Have you ever had trouble figuring out what somebody’s writing meant? Maybe that was because the writer didn’t use proper punctuation (PUNK-chuh-WAY-shun).

Punctuation marks, such as commas and periods, help us understand written language.

In honor of National Punctuation Day, Sept.

24, The Mini Page offers a review of proper punctuation.

Punctuation’s origins

Since the beginning of writing, people have used different marks to add more information to written words. For example, ancient Greeks had a system of dots to tell actors how much breath to take before a word or a phrase in a speech.

After the printing press was invented almost 600 years ago, people started making more rules about punctuation. Readers needed to know where one idea ended and a new one began.

Today, technology is changing the rules again. Some people leave out capital letters and punctuation in emails and text messages.

Others use a lot of exclamation points and question marks when texting and emailing.

Punctuation is important

Even though rules may be changing for text messaging and emailing, the rules have

The period, question mark and exclamation point all come at the end of a sentence. They tell the reader about the writer’s tone of voice.

How many different ways can you punctuate the headline sentence?

How does it change the meaning?

The period shows the writer is making a simple statement.

“Ali did her homework as soon as she got home.”

The question mark is exactly what it sounds like: It shows someone is asking a question.

“Ali, have you done your homework yet?”

not changed for regular writing.

If you are writing school papers, letters or a book, commas and other punctuation marks are still needed. Punctuation marks help the reader figure out your message in texts and emails too. Use the punctuation rules that fit what you’re writing.

The exclamation point shows somebody is surprised or excited.

“Yahoo! I am all done with my homework!”

Commas change meaning

If you put a punctuation mark in the wrong place, it can completely change the meaning of the sentence.

For example, compare these two sentences.

How does the comma change the meaning?

Call me, Tom!

Use a colon when the second part of the sentence explains the first part.

“Becky couldn’t speak: She was so shy.”

Call me Tom!

Use a semicolon to link two thoughts together.

“I remember Becky when she was little; now she’s so grown-up.”

The confusing apostrophe

Apostrophes are used to show words are possessive, as in “the cat’s paws,” (one cat) or “the dogs’ leashes” (two or more dogs).

Apostrophes are also used to show letters have been taken out of a word, as in “don’t” instead of “do not.”

Apostrophes are NOT used to make words plural.

Planet Earth supports millions of species. All life on Earth is known as the biosphere. Despite the enormous abundance of life on Earth, the biosphere is actually tiny compared to the total size of the planet. The vast majority of Earth — around 99.9 percent, including the upper atmosphere and fiery interior — is too hot, too cold or has too little water or oxygen to be able to support life. adapted with permission from “50 Things You Should Know About the Environment” by Jen Green, © QEB Publishing Inc.

DEAR ABBY: My mother and her mother died from complications of Alzheimer’s.

I think I’ve had a few episodes lately, although it may just be stress over some recent monetary problems.

I don’t know whether I should mention this to my daughter, who lives in a different state and who has shouldered a lot of other responsibilities. One of my sons lives closer but, for several reasons, he is not the primary decision-maker if I am actually experiencing early signs of

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019: This year, your nurturing becomes a dominant theme. How you express your caring varies from person to person. For some, you put this nurturing energy into a cause, and for others, it’s more personal. If single, others consider you very desirable. If you are at the right age and stage in life, you could meet “the one.” If attached, your bond will be cemented by a decision or by taking the next step. CANCER can be moody at times, but they really do care.

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 speak your mind and others listen. Conversations are animated in the morning. By afternoon, you could be dragging, but you will have established a lot of goodwill.

Flow with the moment. Remember it is your day of rest, too. Tonight: Only what you want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might be slow to start, much like the tortoise. You become a race-winning rabbit by the afternoon, sprinting from one activity and invitation to another. Others are delighted to see you. Tonight: Relax over a leisurely dinner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HH Use the morning to the max when you feel great. Touch base with loved ones and friends by phone or an actual visit. Bring others together in the afternoon over a leisurely meal. Caring emotes. Tonight: All smiles

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Sleep in the morning, and when you wake up, you are a well-rested Moon Child. Make plans to visit with an elder who demands attention and can be quite grumpy.

When you see a glimmer of a smile from this person, you feel as if you have accomplished what you desired. Tonight: Think and plan tomorrow

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Step back and think. You have the ability to turn a difficult situation into a winning one. Be willing to relax and have a discussion that might be long overdue. Ask yourself what is going on around you. Tonight: As you like.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HHHHH You often don’t look around and judge what is happening. You have many friends who have varied interests. Accept an odd invitation that might expand your circle of friends. A child or loved one could feel threatened. Tonight: All play.

Alzheimer’s.

I know if my daughter had a possible medical problem, I’d be very upset if she didn’t let me know, even though I couldn’t be of any significant use. Should I say something to her about these possible symptoms of Alzheimer’s? Or should I tell her husband, who is wonderful, so he can keep abreast of a possible upcoming medical problem?

I have not consulted a physician because I think they may sometimes be too quick to prescribe meds, and so far, I am daily-medication-free. Where does one draw the line between being an alarmist and keeping loved ones in the loop?

— PROCEEDING WITH CAUTION

this with is your physician, so you can be evaluated and your fears possibly put to rest. If you do have Alzheimer’s, your daughter and her husband should be told so you can all decide together what the next steps should be.

As to being medicated, this is something you and your doctor should decide because although the medications cannot cure Alzheimer’s, they can slow it down.

2019 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

DEAR ABBY: I am a veteran, and something gnaws at me every time I hear it. It’s the expression, “Thank you for your service.” Having lived through the ‘60s and ‘70s, I remember all too well seeing many soldiers badmouthed and worse during those times. Since 9/11 many of the same people who were critical of us then are now thanking us. It rings hollow to many of the vets I have talked to. We did our job, some to the ultimate level. We never asked for thanks, and we still don’t.

We respect the rights given to those who wish to abuse them because we believe in them.

Some of us even died so all could enjoy these rights. If a person truly wants to thank a vet, DO something for him or her instead of just offering lip service. Cut their grass, offer to help carry in

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might not feel as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as you would like. You have been processing a lot of changes and ideas in your sleep.

2019 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

This year, you will experience a period of growth, new insights and better relationships. This spurt comes after much thought. If single, you could meet someone you can relate to, but not easily. See what develops with time. If you’re attached, the two of you grow closer together, though you need to support each other’s uniqueness. You can disagree about matters around your home and choice of home. Rotate who makes the decisions. CANCER is moody. The problem is not you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

A change in perspective involving communication and a project is likely. Tonight: Take your time heading home.
