The resolution was approved Friday by the university faculty senate in a 33-3 vote, the Anchorage Daily News reports.

The vote comes on the heels of a cautionary letter from the accreditor of Alaska universities.

“The faculty are just deeply concerned about the future of the university,” Faculty Senate President Scott Downing said.

Construction coming to a close

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

As the days get shorter and winter weather makes its way to the Kenai Peninsula, the major road construction projects in the area have started wrapping up and winding down. Some will be completed by the end of construction season, but others will have work left to do next spring.

Beaver Loop Road The Alaska Department of Transportation, in cooperation with Quality Asphalt Paving, has been resurfacing the length of Beaver Loop Road from Bridge Access Road to the Kenai Spur Highway, according to the project information on Alaska Navigator. The project includes the construction of a separated pedestrian pathway.

Work has included grading, drainage improvements,

illumination, guardrail installation, signing and striping.

DOT Project Engineer Jason Baxley said that everything is currently on

schedule. Next week, crews will be paving the bottom layer of asphalt on the road,

and Baxley said that he expects crews to be working until mid-October at the latest.

Next spring, crews will return to pave the top layer of asphalt on the road and finish paving the pedestrian path.

Kenai Spur Highway, Sports Lake to Swire Road The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, in cooperation with Wolverine Construction, has been working to expand the Kenai Spur Highway to five lanes from Mile 5 to Mile 8, according to the project information on Alaska Navigator.

DOT Project Engineer Marcus Forkner said that crews are set to wrap up by the end of October. The first round of paving will begin in the next few days, Forkner said Thursday, and he expects that work to be See road, Page A2

‘It meant the whole world to us’ KCHS volleyball to raise funds for family battling cancer

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Candice Bowers will not be hammering kills as a senior on the Kenai Central High School volleyball team this season. She won’t be lending her voice to the school choir or serving in her usual role as part of school student leadership.

But Tuesday evening will leave no doubt that Bowers is still a big part of all three of those entities at the high school. The Kardinals volleyball program will be putting on “Digging Deep for Donalen” in the school gym and commons from 3 to 6 p.m.

Donalen Bowers, Candice’s sister and a 2016 Kenai Central graduate, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer, in early July. The cancer is even rarer when found in somebody older than 5 years old, meaning Donalen, 21, is a high-risk patient because there is not a lot of evidence for treating that cancer in somebody her age.

At the time of diagnosis, Donalen was living in Anchorage working on

finishing up a degree in art at the University of Alaska Anchorage. The cancer forced Donalen to relocate to Seattle for treatment that

is expected to last about 15 months.

The whole Bowers family also decided to go to Seattle to support Donalen.

Candice; Candice’s sister, KCHS sophomore Brandiee; and Candice’s mother, Helen, arrived in August.

Candice’s father, Donald,

has continued working in Anchorage and flying down to be with the family when possible.

School board to consider contract Assembly to take up service board elections

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The school board will vote Monday on tentative contract agreement made by the district and associations in the early hours of Sept. 17.

The executive boards of the Kenai Peninsula Education Association and the Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association voted to ratify the contract for teachers and support staff in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District.

The associations and the district had been negotiating for a contract for nearly 600 days, and bargaining was snagged on the rising cost of health care.

The agreement for a threeyear contract, reached at 1:37 a.m., will be effective between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2021.

The agreement is based on an offer the associations presented to the district back on May 13. The offer migrates employees from the district’s traditional health care plan to the highdeductible plan currently available, and removes a spending cap on health care costs. The cap was a funding limit that, when surpassed, required employees to split costs 50-50 with the district.

Beginning in January 2020, every employee will migrate to one of two high-deductible plans — the current highdeductible plan and a new

modified one offered in the district’s proposal. Under the new plans, the district will pay 85% of health care costs, while the employee pays 15% with no cap.

The traditional plan had more expensive premiums, meaning more money taken out of employees’ paychecks.

The high-deductible plan ensures less expensive premiums, but has a higher upfront cost to employees receiving medical care.

The Clarion previously reported in May that some employees on the traditional plan could have expected to pay $1,000 a month next year for their health care plan. When more than 400 educators moved to the See school, Page A2

An ordinance changing service board elections to appointments will be voted on at Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting.

The borough has 12 service boards, of which seven boards include elected positions. Historically, it has been difficult to find qualified candidates willing to run for service board seats, an Aug. 22 memo to the assembly from assembly members Willy Dunne and Brent

Hibbert said.

“The borough is one of the few boroughs, if not the only, in the State of Alaska with elected service area boards,” the memo said.

Changing from elected boards to appointed boards will significantly reduce the time and expense involved in borough elections, the ordinance said.

Earlier this summer, the Election Stakeholders Group — a group established by the assembly to research ways to increase voter participation — published their See service, Page A2

No action should be taken until a response to the accreditor’s letter is completed with input from faculty, students and staff governance groups.

As phase one of the project is completed, that portion of the highway will remain two lanes through the winter.

Temporary striping will be in place to direct traffic, and Forkner said that he expects the speed limit to stay at 45 mph through the winter. A temporary pedestrian pathway will be in place to allow access through the construction zone.

fall of 2023. However, the current facilities would need to be available for use while construction was ongoing during the May-September cruise season, according to the railroad’s project schedule.

ANCHORAGE — The Alaska Railroad is looking for a partner to help it update and expand its cruise ship facilities in Seward in order to meet ever-increasing demand in the state’s tourism industry.

Railroad officials issued a request for qualifications, or RFQ, on Sept. 16 to start

the process of searching for a project developer for what is estimated to be an approximately $60 million to $70 million undertaking.

Specifically, the stateowned railroad wants to replace its current passenger vessel, pile-supported dock in Seward, which is 736 feet long and was built in 1966, with a floating dock capable of accommodating two vessels up to 1,080 feet in length. The plan also calls for building a new cruise passenger terminal building with space to accommodate up to 1,500 people.

It’s all intended to meet the railroad’s needs for moving cruise passengers from port at the head of Resurrection Bay to other Southcentral destinations for the next 50 years.

Railroad officials expect construction to begin in late 2021 and continue into the

next year before the project is completed.

Crews are working on and off the roadway from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. During paving next week, drivers should expect pilot car operations with extended delays.

Sterling Highway Shoulder Widening DOT has been working to widen the shoulders on the Sterling Highway from Mile 97 to Mile 118 between Soldotna and Clam Gulch.

The work also included the installation of four largediameter culverts at Slikok Tributary, Crooked Creek, Clam Gulch and Coal Creek.

DOT Project Engineer Jake Goodell said that crews

are wrapping up peripheral work on this project, which includes installing highway lighting, street signs and delineation treatments.

Goodell expects work to be “about 99% finished” by Oct. 15, and crews will return next spring for about two more weeks worth of work. Next year, crews will be confirming that the grass planted during construction has grown in sufficiently along the highway and will then remove the artificial stormwater mitigation measures in place.

Goodell said to expect short flagging zones for the next week as crews finish their work, and next year’s work will be off the road and

ANCHORAGE — An Alaska man who was mauled by a bear before his father came to his rescue was being treated at Juneau hospital for deep bite wounds on his arm and leg, the father said Friday.

Casey Bradford, 21, was in good spirits but in a lot of pain a day after the brown bear attack near the Chilkat River, according to his father, 55-year-old Scott Bradford of

Haines.

“I saw this brown thing chasing him,” Bradford said.

“My first thought was that it was a moose.”

Bradford said he ran toward the bear and fired a shot over its head after it tackled his son. The spooked bear ran off as Bradford took better aim and fired again. He doesn’t know if he struck the animal.

The attack occurred Thursday evening while the father and son were about 30 yards apart as they scouted a moose during a hunting outing. The light was fading when Casey Bradford suddenly started yelling and running toward his father.

After the attack, the younger Bradford was in pain but not bleeding profusely, his father said.

The pair made their way to their boat about a mile away.

It was difficult for Casey

Bradford to walk, but the adrenaline kept them going.

It was dark when they reached the boat. It took a short ride to reach their vehicle, and then it was a 25-mile drive to the Haines clinic.

Casey Bradford was flown to Juneau’s Bartlett Regional Hospital by the Coast Guard.

Scott Bradford went home, and spent a sleepless night wondering about all the what-ifs.

“There were a lot of things going through my mind all night,” he said. “If that bear would have attacked him a few minutes before, this would be a different story.”

Scott Bradford said he and his son have often gone hunting without each other.

“We’re not doing that anymore,” he said. “We’ll be standing shoulder to shoulder from now on when we’re hunting.”

will have a minimal impact on traffic.

Currently, crews are working from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week. Construction crews are present on the roadway from Ski Hill Road to North Cohoe Loop Road, and drivers should expect slight delays.

A high number of moose have been sighted along the project corridor. Drivers are advised use caution while traveling, especially at night.

Sterling Highway Rehabilitation from Skilak Lake to Sterling DOT, in partnership with Granite Construction, has been working to improve road conditions on the

Sterling Highway from Mile 58 to Mile 79 between Sterling and the east end of Skilak Lake Road. Work has included upgrading passing lanes and the pedestrian walkway for Skyline Trail, road resurfacing, shoulder widening and replacement of the East Fork Moose River culvert.

DOT Project Engineer Shaun Combs said that although activity from the Swan Lake Fire delayed work by several weeks, most of the major work including asphalt paving will be completed before winter.

All permanent guardrails are in place, and both layers of asphalt will be paved by

next Thursday or Friday if weather permits, Combs said.

Combs said that he expects to return to the project around next May or June, but most of the work will consist of peripheral tasks, like permanent striping and signage which should be completed by mid-June of 2020.

For the remainder of the season, pilot car operations will be in place, with two cars running during the day and one car running at night to minimize traffic delays.

into the Employee Health Care Reserve Account, an account that is used to pay for health care costs that exceed what’s anticipated in a year. The district is also increasing their annual contributions offering to $800 per employee, which can be used toward medical expenditures.

Wage increases, including 0.5% for last year, 1% for this year and 2% for next year, were also included in the

proposal, and language was included to reflect district concerns about one-time money that’s currently tied up in a state lawsuit. If the lawsuit determines the onetime money will not come, the 2% wage increase for next year will be reduced accordingly.

Kenai Central has done a volleyball game that raises money for breast cancer, nabbing over $25,000 in the process. Beck was feeling very helpless about not being able to help the Bowers when they were down in Seattle, with a gofundme account set up for Donalen being the only possibility.

Then it hit her: Why not change the breast cancer game this year to benefit the Bowers family?

Beck had the idea in early September and called the Bowers family on Sept. 11 to ask if they were interested.

“Coach called me one night when we just got home from the hospital when my sister was admitted,” Candice said. “It was one of the longer days.

“My mom was on the phone too, and so was my little sister. We all started crying. We’re so thankful the community is coming together to help us. The support was amazing.”

Beck said this fundraiser will be different than others because typically just the

volleyball team is involved.

This time, Kenai Middle School and Kenai Central High School are joining the effort.

The night includes: • A silent auction for baskets. Baskets are being provided by every team member and family, plus this year teachers also have had baskets in their classrooms that students have been filling up.

• Simon Nissen, choir teacher at KCHS, and his students will perform the national anthem.

• Ribbons for sale, with different colors of ribbons representing different kinds of cancer.

• Rio Custodio’s famous egg rolls will be for sale. Rio is the mother of Roman Custodio, a manager for the volleyball team, and Beck said Rio’s egg rolls always draw a crowd.

• KCHS student leadership has been going around to local businesses getting donations, and also acquiring items for the balloon pop. In the balloon pop, fans buy a balloon and get

to pop it to see the prize inside.

• Teacher John Morton will have pottery pieces for sale made by players and students.

Candice follows the volleyball team through social media and talking to f riends on the team.

She also has put missing her senior year, and enrolling in a Washington online school instead, in perspective.

“It doesn’t really matter to me because I want to go to college,” she said. “I think of high school as a milestone in life. It’s not like the end of my school years, so it’s not too big of a deal.”

But what is a big deal to her is the way everybody is coming together Tuesday night.

“It meant the whole world to us,” she said. “I do a lot for school leadership, (National Honor Society), and volunteer all the time around the schools.

“Just knowing the people I’ve volunteered for and helped out are helping me back is special.”

Immigration policy sends message: stay away

P

resident Trump’s latest assault on immigration, cutting the number of refugees accepted to a mere 18,000 from 30,000 last year, is better than the complete ban that some of his aides were seeking. But looking at mere numbers misses the point.

This is the administration’s latest message to anyone dreaming of a freer life in America: that they should just stay away. The Trump administration has systematically acted to bar as many refugees and asylum seekers as possible, virtually from its first day, supplanting America’s traditional welcome to the world’s desperate people with a spirit of xenophobia and bigotry.

Led by Stephen Miller, a zealot who has planted lieutenants throughout the government, the Trump White House has made its anti-immigration campaign something akin to a crusade, with “the wall” along the Mexican border as its symbol.

The administration has tried to scare away Central Americans by separating children from their parents when families arrive at the border seeking asylum; it threatened to end “temporary protected status” for people escaping natural and other disasters in a number of countries, including Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan; it suspended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which let undocumented immigrants who arrived here as children stay and work; it has dramatically deported immigrants without regard for their ties to family and community; and it has enacted a system that would prevent migrants from seeking asylum if they passed through another country without first seeking asylum there.

Any question about the mind-set guiding the administration should have been put to rest by President Trump’s icy explanation to reporters earlier this month for why he was barring residents of the hurricane-battered Bahamas from taking refuge in the United States.

“I don’t want to allow people that weren’t supposed to be in the Bahamas to come into the United States, including some very bad people and some very bad gang members, and some very, very bad drug dealers,” he said. He offered not a shred of proof of any such danger, while the shattering evidence of Bahamians’ needs still lies everywhere.

The limit announced by the State Department on Thursday (Sept. 26) is far below the 110,000 refugees a year that President Barack Obama said in 2016 should be let in. Most of the 18,000 slots, moreover, are already filled by Iraqis who worked with the American military, victims of religious persecution and some Central Americans. That would leave only 7,500 slots for families seeking unification, like parents of Rohingya children who have already been admitted.

The proffered reason for the cut was the huge backlog in immigration courts as the number of people seeking asylum is expected to reach 350,000. Most refugees trying to enter the United States, though, have already been cleared. So it’s not immediately clear how lowering the annual limit will help ease the backlog.

There are enormous backlogs, and the United States cannot let in everyone who wants to come. But the severity of the cutbacks makes clear that the administration’s rationale hides its real motive: to score political points with a base of voters fearful of immigration by seeming to keep out as many people as possible.

This shortsighted politicking denies a fundamental virtue — and key advantage — of America’s democracy: that it is a land of immigrants and refugees. It ignores the contributions of immigrants to the greatness of the United States.

There is no sensible argument for opening the borders to everyone. Any refugee or asylum program needs a solid vetting process. But Mr. Trump’s approach is not the answer.

Congress should have stepped in long ago with serious immigration reform. But that failure is no reason for Americans to be taken in by Mr. Trump’s fear-mongering and evasive explanation.

— The New York Times, Sept. 27

letter to the editor

Make your voice heard on 2020 Board of Fisheries meeting As reported earlier, the Alaska Board of Fisheries was called out by the Ombudsman for violating the Open Meetings Act. In their March meeting, the chairman had a lunch meeting and returned to bring up a revote on the location for the 2020 Upper Cook Inlet meetings. The board voted to move the meeting from Soldotna to Anchorage. The chairman would not elaborate on what circumstances had changed.

This vote came down after the chairman assured Kenai city officials that the board would not be voting on the 2020 meeting location.

I would encourage concerned Kenai peninsula residents to comment by email to the Board of Fisheries to hold the 2020 meeting in Soldotna. Kenai peninsula residents have endured 20 years of discrimination. An entire generation has been excluded from this so-called public process. A legitimate public process does not exclude or discriminate.

Send your comments to Executive Director Glen Haight at the Board of Fisheries before Oct. 8. The Board will vote on the 2020 venue at the workshop in Anchorage, Oct. 23-24.

Labor is not a partisan issue

W

hile some issues are clearly more partisan than others, one often confused issue stands out. Believe it or not that is Labor. I’ve based my stance on my individual responsibility for informed decision-making, and I hope you will too, whether you’re a union member, an elected official, or the public.

At its root, Labor emerged as an issue focused on balance. That meant fairness for workers and employers. Labor promoted self-reliance and individual responsibility. The employer and worker were to recognize each other’s rights so both could prosper. Unions provided the best trained workers in the world and held them to a high standard. Employers noticed and they liked it. Under balanced collective bargaining, they agreed to pay what our work was worth, and union members provided work worth paying for. Hence the growth of the middle class, with champions and bad actors on both sides. The champions gave us our Union Pride.

We’ve worked hard for Alaska. We’ve fought against extreme conditions, and simply wanted to share in the prosperity. Alaska enjoyed an abundance of funds and available workforce during the pipeline days, and our most conservative elected officials supported organized labor. They understood our value and showed by supporting us.

What’s in a name? Progressive, Conservative, Liberal, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Non-Partisan, Green, Constitutionalist, Stand for Salmon, or Stand for Alaska: each label can be misinterpreted or misidentified.

If you think that to be conservative you have to hate unions, you have been

manipulated. For those who are willing to educate themselves and move beyond reflex and stop adopting positions based on hearsay, your reward is credibility.

Tell me what you think your party stands for. Unions were once founded on the principles of: self-reliance, fairness, accountability, and a prosperous middle class. That prosperity was win-win rather than win-lose. It meant fairness on all sides. It meant finding the best path forward for workers, and the employer. Workers deserve fairness in compensation, working conditions, and the work they are asked to do. Employers need a competent workforce and an ability to make a profit.

Our communities ideally thrive under well-negotiated agreements.

As Americans, we’ve seen scandalplagued corporations, lending institutions, technology, ministries, charities, elected and appointed officials, political parties, and even unions. When institutions are “off mission,” get involved. Too many today are advocating to quit your party or quit your union. They are not mutually exclusive, and never were. Those bashing union members need to be educated. Laborers fit into any party, and we bring value. If someone tells you supporting unions doesn’t fit with conservative values, they need an education.

Ronald Reagan said in 1980: “Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost.”

I supported Donald Trump, Mike Dunleavy, and many other candidates I thought would support and defend my Constitutional Rights, including my right to freely assemble and associate. Many other union members did

too. It’s not true that union members or even union bosses only support “liberals.” When I support someone, I don’t expect blind loyalty, just a fair shake. Union folks are realizing that Democrats who are antidevelopment and high spend haven’t supported jobs. That was the focus in their support for Trump. Republicans need to realize that union members who align with their values also need to be supported by them. That means supporting jobs and honoring contracts. It means being bold enough to recognize our right to free speech and assembly. Don’t let yourself be manipulated by party bullies who have another agenda. Stand up for working people and we’ll stand up for you. If you can’t do that, we’ll find someone else.

The attorney general is telling union members they are forfeiting their First Amendment rights by belonging to a union. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am giving the union permission to represent me and speak for me, and that is not in any way restricting my own rights to speak. As proven by this op-ed.

Members of organized labor deserve to be recognized for the value we bring to our communities. It’s time for parties to unify in support of Labor and leave their fighting for the naturally divisive issues.

News and politics

Romney ramps up rhetoric on Trump

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — In the hours after President Donald Trump called on China to investigate his political foe — plowing through another political guardrail — Democrats and Trump critics looked for signs that his party would slap him back. Seeking foreign help in an election is illegal. Who would stand up and say so?

Twenty-four hours later, Mitt Romney stepped in.

“By all appearances, the president’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling,” he tweeted.

The delayed criticism seemed to capture Romney’s continued discomfort with the role of chief Trump critic.

The mild-mannered, failed-presidential-candidate-turned-senator has shown he feels compelled to speak out against Trump at key moments. But he doesn’t appear quick to the draw.

While Trump detractors are looking to Romney to play a key role in rallying GOP opposition to the president in the unfolding impeachment saga, it’s far from clear Romney wants the job.

Romney has left the door open further than most, said Reed Galen, a consultant who worked for Sen. John McCain, George W. Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger before leaving the GOP in 2016.

But “there’s a long way from opening a door and walking through it.”

The 72-year-old senator is unusually well positioned to take on a president who remains broadly popular with Republican voters. His job security is all but guaranteed in conservative Utah, where he’s a near celebrity. Many voters, particularly fellow members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, shared Romney’s wariness about Trump.

A nationwide Associated Press survey of midterm voters last year found that while two-thirds of church members voted Republican, just over half approved of Trump’s job performance.

The VoteCast survey also found that 64% of Utah voters wanted to see the senator confront the president.

His political brand, forged as a governor in Massachusetts, the savior of the troubled 2002 Olympics and a wellappointed representative of the corporate-friendly wing of GOP, has very little to do with Trump and the populist uprising.

All of that has some looking to Romney as a possible standard bearer. The antiTrump conservative group Defending Democracy Together is running new ads in Utah encouraging him to speak out.

“I think Mitt Romney came back to the Senate for a reason, and I hope this is the reason,” said Sarah Longwell, the group’s executive director. As a former presidential nominee who built his career in part on this capacity for moral leadership, Romney has a role as a Republican elder statesman that few can match, she said.

“This is going to be the moment where

Mitt Romney will play, I think, the decisive role in what Republicans do going forward.”

Not everyone is so sure. While he lashed then-candidate Trump as a “phony” and a “fraud” in a 2016 speech that didn’t keep him from being elected, Romney also dined with Trump as he aimed to become secretary of state and accepted the president’s endorsement during his Senate run two years later.

While he resumed the charge with a Washington Post op-ed on the eve of his Senate swearing in, Romney also agrees with many Trump administration policies and hasn’t taken up a McCain-like maverick mantle. Rather than relishing rhetorical fisticuffs, Romney sees himself as a voice for civility representing a deeply conservative state, said Utah State University political science professor Damon Cann.

“I think Romney as a senator has been much more conservative than John McCain was,” both in terms of style and ideology, he said.

Romney did not agree to be interviewed for this story.

While his current position breaks from GOP ranks, he hasn’t gone so far as to support the impeachment inquiry.

Even if he did, it’s unclear how many Republicans he might be able to sway to that view. The GOP has shifted seismically since Romney ran in 2012, away from his more cerebral approach to conservatism and toward the brand of populism that’s embodied by Trump, a leader who prizes loyalty.

Pompeo: State Dept. will follow law

By JILL COLVIN and MATTHEW LEE

By VERENA DOBNIK and REBECCA GIBIAN

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Saturday the State Department intends to follow the law in the House impeachment investigation and vigorously defended President Donald Trump, dismissing questions about the president’s attempts to push Ukraine and China to investigate a Democratic political rival.

The Trump administration and House Democrats often disagree about what the law requires, leaving open the question of how Pompeo may interpret Democrats’ demands for key information about Trump’s handling of Ukraine.

Pompeo, speaking in Greece, said the State Department sent a letter to Congress Friday night as its initial response to the document request and added, “We’ll obviously do all the things that we’re required to do bylaw.” He has allowed Democrats to interview a series of witnesses next week. Among them is Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, another key figure in the probe.

The administration has struggled to come up with a unified response to the quickly progressing investigation. Democrats have warned that defying their demands will in itself be considered “evidence of obstruction” and a potentially impeachable offense.

Pompeo has become a key figure in the Democrats’ investigation. He was on the line during the July phone call in which Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter — sparking a whistleblower

complaint and now the impeachment inquiry.

Pompeo had initially tried todelay a handful of current and former officials from cooperating with the inquiry and accused Democrats trying to “bully” his staffers.

On Saturday, Pompeo did not back off his defense of Trump’s call with Ukraine.

“There has been some suggestion somehow that it would be inappropriate for the United States government to engage in that activity and I see it just precisely the opposite,” he said.

Trump has offered a series of contradictory statements when it comes to the Democrats’ subpoena of White House records.

Asked Wednesday whether the White House intended to comply, Trump told reporters, “I always cooperate,” even as he dismissed the inquiry as “a hoax.” A day later, however, Trump had a different answer for the same question, saying he would instead leave the matter to his lawyers.

“That’s up to them to decide,” he said, “But the whole investigation is crumbling.”

By Friday, however, Trump

confirmed reports the White House was preparing a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., arguing that Congress cannot undertake an impeachment investigation without first having a vote to authorize it. Pelosi has insisted the House is well within its rules to conduct oversight of the executive branch under the Constitution regardless.

It was unclear Saturday when or if that letter would be sent.

Pompeo, meanwhile, made clear that the State Department had yet to turn over any document, but intended to follow a proper review. And he said he would do so faster than the Obama administration.

“I remember precisely once when I was on that side and we were looking for documents, I remember precisely how long it took for those documents to come across,” he said in an apparent reference to his experience as a congressman during the investigation into the 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

“We’re going to beat that.

We’re going to be more responsive than the Obama

administration was in the years that preceded this particular Congress,” he said.

A congressional aide familiar with Pompeo’s response confirmed that the State Department had indeed been in contact, even if Pompeo had failed to meet a Friday deadline to produce documents required by the subpoena.

Trump, meanwhile, continued to seethe Saturday, denouncing the investigation as yet another “Witch Hunt!” and “a fraud against the American people!”

In a series of tweets Saturday, including several sent as his presidential motorcade ferried him back and forth to his Virginia golf course, Trump defended his conduct and lashed out at critics, including a past foil, Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah.

“I’m hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats!” Trump wrote. He ended his tweet with an extraordinary call to impeach a senator from his own party.

Ex-officer not guilty of manslaughter WOODBINE, Ga. (AP) — A former Georgia police officer who fatally shot a fleeing, unarmed black man was acquitted Saturday of voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter.

The jury, however, found Zechariah Presley guilty of violating his oath of office in the 2018 shooting of Tony Green, 33, in coastal Camden County near the Georgia-Florida state line.

Presley was ordered to be jailed pending sentencing Oct. 18. He faces a prison term of one to five years.

Presley sat silently at the defense table. Green’s relatives wiped away tears after the verdict was read.

Pastor Mack De’Von Knight, whose church Green attended, denounced the acquittals outside the courthouse, saying the evidence was “open and shut.”

“He admitted that he killed Tony Green in cold blood,” Knight said. “To me,

4 homeless men beaten to death with pipe in NYC

it’s hunting season for the young black man and we’re being gunned down in the streets and there’s no repercussions, there’s no consequences for these officers.”

Though Presley’s body camera recorded his fatal encounter with Green, darkness and something covering the camera lens obscured the shooting and the moments leading up to it. That left the jury to weigh Presley’s court testimony recalling what had occurred with a sometimes conflicting account by prosecutors and investigators.

Presley said he followed Green’s car on the night of June 20, 2018, because he believed Green was driving with a suspended license.

Dash camera video showed Green drive the car off the road, then open the door and run. He briefly returned to the vehicle to grab an unseen object, then fled again.

North Peninsula Recreation Service Area

Presley chased Green on foot down a darkened street.

A short struggle followed that’s not visible on the video. The recording picked up the electrified clicking sound from Presley’s Taser, followed by eight gunshots.

Another officer arrives afterward to find Presley lying on the ground. Presley says Green had been on top of him, trying to grab his Taser. Presley then says: “And then I was going for my gun, and he started taking off. And I fired.”

An autopsy found Green was struck by eight bullets — one to his chest, the rest

to his back and hips. Green also had small amounts of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and a tranquilizer in his system.

On the witness stand We d n e s d a y , P r e s l e y added details he had not mentioned previously. He said he opened fire after Green turned back to face him and extended an arm, saying he feared Green had a gun. Investigators determined the object in his hand was a cellphone.

Presley’s attorneys argued the shooting was justified because Presley believed his life was in danger.

NEW YORK — A homeless man wielding a long metal bar rampaged through New York City’s Chinatown early Saturday attacking other homeless people who were sleeping, killing four and leaving a fifth with serious injuries, police said.

Police recovered the weapon, which was still in the suspect’s hands when he was arrested, officials said.

“The motive appears to be, right now, just random attacks,” Chief of Manhattan South Detectives Michael Baldassano said at a Saturday news conference, adding there was no evidence yet that the victims were “targeted by race, age, anything of that nature.”

Two law enforcement officials identified the 24-yearold suspect as Randy Rodriguez Santos. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because criminal charges hadn’t yet been finalized.

Santos was taken into police custody early Saturday. Police say he has been arrested at least a half-dozen other times in the past two years, three times on assault charges. It wasn’t clear whether he had a lawyer to speak for him.

The victims, all men, were attacked as they slept in doorways and sidewalks in three different locations in Chinatown, which is packed during daylight hours but empties out at night.

Police responded to a 911 call just before 2 a.m. as one assault was in progress. They found one man dead in the street and a second with critical head injuries.

A search of the neighborhood turned up three additional bodies.

The New York Post published photos of two of the victims under white sheets, one slumped in a blood-spattered doorway, the other on the sidewalk. The identities of the victims have not been released.

Two of the men were killed on The Bowery, which cuts through the heart of Chinatown and has for decades been known as New York’s skid row. Two more died on East Broadway, the neighborhood’s main street.

The lone known survivor was hospitalized in critical condition. Police planned to interview him as soon as possible, Baldassano said.

Another homeless man who had slept in the area, Stephen Miller, said he knew one of the victims as kind and quiet.

“No one knew him by name, but we saw him every day,” Miller said. “At this point, I’m just sad. This guy never did anything. Just had a life to live. It sucks that he’s out here in the rain and everything, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a life to live.”

New York City’s homeless population has grown to record levels over the past decade, and the homeless remain among the most vulnerable residents. In the past five years, an average of seven have been slain each year.

Mayor Bill de Blasio launched new homeless outreach efforts early in his tenure in an attempt to move more people off the street and into shelters, but the program has faced challenges. City efforts to build more homeless shelters have dragged due to neighborhood opposition.

De Blasio tweeted Saturday that he’s “stunned and horrified by this senseless act of violence against the most vulnerable members of our community.”

Today in History Today is Saturday, Oct. 5, the 278th day of 2019. There are 87 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 5, 1947, President Harry S. Truman delivered the first televised White House address as he spoke on the world food crisis.

On this date: In 1829, the 21st president of the United States, Chester Alan Arthur, was born in North Fairfield, Vermont.

In 1921, the World Series was carried on radio for the first time as Newark, New Jersey station WJZ (later WABC) relayed a telephoned play-by-play account of the first game from the Polo Grounds. (Although the New York Yankees won the opener, 3-0, the New York Giants won the series, 5 games to 3.)

In 1953, Earl Warren was sworn in as the 14th chief justice of the United States, succeeding Fred M. Vinson.

In 1958, racially-desegregated Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee, was mostly leveled by an early morning bombing.

In 1983, Solidarity founder Lech Walesa was named winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

In 1984, the space shuttle Challenger blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center on an 8-day mission; the crew included Kathryn D. Sullivan, who became the first American woman to walk in space, and Marc Garneau, the first Canadian astronaut.

In 1989, a jury in Charlotte, North Carolina, convicted former P-T-L evangelist Jim Bakker of using his television show to defraud followers.

In 1999, two packed commuter trains collided near London’s Paddington Station, killing 31 people.

In 2001, tabloid photo editor Robert Stevens died from inhaled anthrax, the first of a series of anthrax cases in Florida, New York, New Jersey and Washington.

In 2005, defying the White House, senators voted 90-9 to approve an amendment sponsored by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that would prohibit the use of “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” against anyone in U.S. government custody. (A reluctant President George W. Bush later signed off on the amendment.)

In 2011, Apple founder Steve Jobs, 56, died in Palo Alto, California.

In 2017, Hollywood executive Harvey Weinstein announced that he was taking a leave of absence from his company after a New York Times article detailed decades of alleged sexual harassment against women including actress Ashley Judd.

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama filled the Rose Garden with doctors supportive of his health care overhaul, saying “nobody has more credibility with the American people on this issue than you do.” Americans Elizabeth H.

More than 80 dead in Iraq protests Haiti braces for more upheaval

By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Iraqi protesters pressed on with angry anti-government rallies in the capital and across several provinces for a fifth day Saturday, setting government offices on fire and ignoring appeals for calm from political and religious leaders. Security agencies fatally shot 19 protesters and wounded more than three dozen in a sustained deadly response that has claimed more than 80 lives since the upheaval began.

The semiofficial Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights, affiliated with the parliament, put the death toll at 94. It said nearly 4,000 people have been wounded since Tuesday, when mostly young demonstrators spontaneously initiated the rallies to demand jobs, improvements to electricity, water and other services, and an end to corruption in the oilrich nation.

The violent deadlock presented the conflictscarred nation with its most serious challenge since the defeat of the Islamic State group two years ago and deepened the political crisis of a country still struggling with the legacy of multiple, unfinished wars since the U.S. invasion in 2003.

“It has been 16 years of corruption and injustice,” said Abbas Najm, a 43-yearold unemployed engineer who was part of a rally Saturday in the square. “We are not afraid of bullets or the death of martyrs. We will keep going and we won’t back down.”

Amid the chaos, masked gunmen stormed the office

of three TV news stations in Baghdad. Gunmen in black cars and wearing black clothes stormed the offices of Al-Arabiya, a Saudi-owned pan-Arab news channel on Abu Nawas Street, beat up some of the employees and smashed equipment before they fled, said Majed Hamid, the channel’s Baghdad correspondent. Hamid said the station had been receiving threats for several days.

Gunmen also attacked the offices of Iraq’s private Dajla and NRT news channels, according to employees at the stations. Both of those stations are privately owned.

Scrambling to contain the demonstrations, Iraqi leaders called an emergency session of parliament Saturday to discuss the protesters’ demands. But they lacked a quorum due to a boycott called by influential Shiite

cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of parliament’s largest bloc. On Friday, al-Sadr called on Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi’s government to resign and hold early elections, saying the shedding of blood of Iraqis “cannot be ignored.”

Abdul-Mahdi said in an address to the nation that the protesters’ “legitimate demands” had been heard, but he defended the deadly response of security forces as a “bitter medicine” that was necessary for the country to swallow.

In a desperate attempt to curb the growing rallies, authorities blocked the internet Wednesday and imposed a round-the-clock curfew on Thursday. The curfew, ignored by protesters, was lifted at 5 a.m. Saturday, allowing shops to open and traffic to flow in most

of Baghdad before the new demonstrations began.

As in previous days, protesters waited to gather until the afternoon, when temperatures were cooler and ensured greater participation, and security forces responded by opening fire.

Health and security officials said more than a dozen people were killed and about 40 wounded in the capital on Saturday when security forces opened fire during protests in various neighborhoods, including central Tahrir Square, which remained closed to cars, and around which special forces and army vehicles deployed in an operation that extended as far as 1.2 miles away. The forces also unleashed tear gas, said health, police and medical officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to brief reporters.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haitians braced for more upheaval on Saturday as opposition leaders, emboldened by a massive protest demanding the resignation of President Jovenel Moïse, pledged to remain on the streets.

Friday marked one of the largest demonstrations since the protests began weeks ago as opposition supporters say they are tired of corruption, ballooning inflation and a shortage of basic goods. They also called on other countries to withdraw support for Moïse, blaming him for Haiti’s economic and social problems.

“If they love Jovenel that much, then send him somewhere else,” said Assad Volcy, who launched a political party two years ago but is joining forces with opposition leaders from other parties trying to oust Moïse.

“We’re going to keep protesting until he resigns or goes to jail.”

The unrest on Friday came after several weeks of protests in which 17 people have been reported killed, the economy has been largely paralyzed, 2 million children have been unable to go to school and badly needed aid has been suspended, especially to rural areas. The U.S., United Nations and other important international players have yet to drop their support for Moïse, making it appear unlikely that he will step

Around the World Hong Kong lawmakers seek to block mask ban

North Korea decries breakdown of talks US says were ‘good’

HONG KONG— A group of pro-democracy Hong Kong legislators filed a legal challenge Saturday against the government’s use of a colonial-era emergency law to criminalize the wearing of face masks at rallies to quell antigovernment demonstrations, as the protests diminished in intensity but didn’t stop.

The mask ban that went into effect at midnight Friday triggered an overnight rash of widespread violence and destruction in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, including the setting of fires and attacks on an off-duty police officer who fired a live shot in self-defense that wounded a 14-year-old teen.

Two activists failed to obtain a court injunction Friday against the ban on face coverings that the government says have made it tough for police to identify radical protesters.

In a second bid, lawmaker Dennis Kwok said a group of 24 legislators filed a legal appeal to block the anti-mask law on wider constitutional grounds. He said the city’s leader, Chief Executive Carrie Lam, acted in bad faith by bypassing the Legislative Council, Hong Kong’s parliament, in invoking the emergency law.

HELSINKI — North Korea’s chief negotiator said Saturday that discussions with the U.S. on Pyongyang’s nuclear program have broken down, but Washington said the two sides had “good discussions” that it intends to build on in two weeks.

The North Korean negotiator, Kim Miyong Gil, said the talks in Stockholm had “not fulfilled our expectations and broke down. I am very displeased about it.” Speaking outside the North Korean Embassy, he read a statement in Korean that a translator next to him read in English.

Kim said negotiations broke down “entirely because the U.S. has not discarded its old stance and attitude.”

Saturday’s talks were the first between the U.S. and North Korea since the February breakdown of the second summit between President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un in Vietnam.

North Korea has since resumed missile tests, including an underwater-launched missile that fell inside Japan’s exclusive economic zone Wednesday.

State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said Kim’s comments did “not reflect the content or the spirit” of the “good discussions” that took place over eight-and-a-half hours, adding that the U.S. accepted an invitation from Sweden to return to Stockholm in two weeks to continue discussions.

down, despite protests that have made gasoline, food and water scarce in some areas.

At least two people were shot on Friday as police in riot gear blocked the main entrance to the airport and fired tear gas at the crowd, which threw rocks, bottles and Molotov cocktails.

Early Saturday, police said that eight people, including two police officers, were injured by gunfire in protests held Friday in Haiti’s southern and western regions. In addition, two homes were set on fire in Grand Anse and five people arrested in the south on charges including possession of knives.

Carlos Dorestant, a 22-year-old motorcycle driver, said he saw the man next to him shot, apparently by police, as protesters crossed a barrier near the U.N. office.

“We are asking everyone in charge to tell Jovenel to resign,” he said, his shirt stained with blood. “The people are suffering.”

Several protesters held up signs asking the U.S. for help. “Trump give Haiti one chance” read one, while another quoted a tweet by presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. A third referred to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who discussed the crisis with Haitians in Miami on Thursday. Some protesters also held out red cards for Moïse like those used to penalize and eject soccer players from a game.

KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban met with a U.S. envoy in the Pakistani capital, a Taliban official said Saturday, the first such encounter since President Donald Trump announced a month ago that a seemingly imminent peace deal to end Afghanistan’s 18-year war was dead.

The official offered few details of Friday’s meeting between peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and the Taliban delegation led by Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, a co-founder of the movement that was ousted in 2001 by the U.S.-led coalition.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the news media.

U.S. officials have been keen to say peace talks haven’t resumed, at least not now in Islamabad.

Still, the meeting is noteworthy as the United States seeks an exit from what has become its longest military engagement. More than 14,000 U.S. troops are still in Afghanistan and Trump has repeatedly expressed his frustration with their continued deployment, complaining they have taken on the duties of policing the country, a job he said the Afghan government needed to do.

Khalilzad has been in Islamabad for much of the week meeting with senior government officials in what the U.S. State Department described as follow-up meetings to those he held in New York during last month’s U.N. General Assembly session. At the time, he met Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been calling for a resumption of peace talks.

US senator barred from Kashmir as lockdown continues NEW DELHI — A U.S. senator and a wellknown Indian activist were barred from visiting Indian-administered Kashmir, the disputed Himalayan territory where at least 10 people were injured Saturday in a grenade blast as a government security and communications lockdown entered a third month.

Director General of Police Dilbagh Singh said the blast was caused by a militant attack and occurred near the office of a civil administrator in Anantnag.

He said a police official and a journalist were among those hurt and suffered minor injuries.

“It was a militant attack,” he said, without elaborating. “Police are probing to identify and nab the culprit.”

Since removing several constitutional provisions in August that gave the state of Jammu and Kashmir semi-autonomy, Indian authorities have flooded the Kashmir Valley, the heart of a decades-old armed insurgency, with thousands of additional troops.

Mobile internet and phone services have been cut and landline phone access remains spotty, disrupting daily life and business in the valley, home — Associated Press

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.

Stars cruise past Kards

By Jeff Helminiak Peninsula Clarion

Soldotna’s Galen Brantley III catches a touchdown over Kenai Central’s Braedon Pitsch on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019, at Ed Hollier Field at Kenai Central High School in Kenai, Alaska. (Photo by Jeff Helminiak/Peninsula Clarion)

On Oct. 3, 2015, a Kenai Peninsula Pop Warner Jr. Midget team quarterbacked by an eighth-grader named Jersey Truesdell played a scrimmage at halftime of the Soldotna-Kenai Central game at Ed Hollier Field in Kenai.

Saturday, Truesdell, now a senior, and the Stars turned in another exhibition, topping rival Kenai 57-12 to finish the regular season 7-0 overall and 3-0 in the Northern Lights Conference.

“We’ve had this offense in since we were 6 or 7 years old,” said Soldotna senior Ray Chumley, who plays tight end and defensive end and was a member of that Jr. Midget Saints team. “It’s second nature to us at this point. We’ve been living and breathing it since we were 6 or 7 years old.”

The Stars took a 49-0 lead at halftime in winning their ninth straight over the Kardinals and moving their advantage in the rivalry to 30-16. SoHi head coach Galen Brantley Jr. is now 15-2 against Kenai.

Soldotna played its starters for the first half. They scored on all seven drives, running 27 plays for an average of 14.4 yards per play.

SoHi senior offensive guard and defensive tackle Trenton Walden has a good idea of how hard it can be to stop an attack directed by Truesdell. Walden played with the Saints until eighth grade, when he became too heavy for the Pop Warner weight limit.

So in that scrimmage where the Saints offense looked just as smooth, if not smoother, than the SoHi varsity squad that topped Kenai 23-0 that day, Walden found himself on the other

team trying to stop the Saints.

“I don’t know what team we were,” he said. “We were just a bunch of guys with white T-shirts over our shoulder pads.”

The Stars have now won 14 straight NLC titles and will seek a path to an eighth straight state title when the Division II semifinals come to Soldotna next weekend.

With that history of greatness, it means a lot when Brantley Jr. says of his current varsity, “They have more experience in this system than any group we’ve ever had.”

Brantley Jr., current SoHi assistant Sarge Truesdell and Nathan Johnson molded the players since they were young and now the state, and even vaunted California programs, are seeing the effects of, as Brantley Jr. called it, “10,000 reps of trap.”

That 2015 Saints team finished 8-1 after going 7-0,

7-0, 7-2 and 9-0 in previous years.

“They’ve been together since elementary school,” said Kenai coach Dustin Akana, whose team finished 0-3 and 1-6. “SoHi’s been a well-oiled machine for a long time and it shows.”

Wyatt Medcoff and Aaron Faletoi each had two rushing touchdowns in the first half.

Medcoff had 126 yards on five carries, while Faletoi had 68 yards on seven carries. Tyler Morrison struck for a 40-yard interception return, while Truesdell also had scoring strikes to Galen Brantley III and Zach Hanson.

While a solid youth program is one bedrock of SoHi’s dominance, another is the blowout varsity wins that allow freshmen and sophomores to earn valuable experience while mopping up in the second half.

Daigle regains Division II state crown

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

After falling short in her quest to defend her Division II state cross-country championship last year, Homer’s Autumn Daigle took solace in the fact that Kenai Central senior Jaycie Calvert was able to secure her first state crown with an undefeated 2018 season.

Daigle’s explanation as to why she was OK with losing her title? Calvert’s expectations were higher, and she didn’t want to see the pressure break Calvert.

“I said, ‘Jaycie, this is yours!’” Daigle recounted.

“And she was like, ‘OK’, and just started running faster. …

I didn’t give up, but I let that one go. I didn’t want to rob the victory from her senior year.”

This year, as a senior with an undefeated streak, Daigle wanted to taste that same success.

The Homer distance ace capped off an undefeated season by winning the Division II girls state championship Saturday at the Bartlett Trails in Anchorage, her second crown in three years, cruising through the 5K course in 19 minutes, 32.3 seconds.

It’s the seventh straight year a Homer girl has graced the podium at state. Megan Pitzman took four straight top-three finishes from 2013 to 2016, and Daigle has taken three straight.

Grace Christian swept the Division II boys and girls team titles on Saturday. The Grace girls placed four in the top 10 to beat runner-up Kenai Central 42-72. Kenai, the defending team champs, put three in the top 10, led by freshman Jayna Boonstra in fourth, sophomore Leah

Fallon in sixth and sophomore Logan Satathite in seventh.

Homer finished fourth in the girls team race with 93 points, while the Seward girls took fifth with 131.

Seward was led by freshman Lena Jagielski in 14th, while Homer backed up Daigle’s victory with a 15th-place run by junior Brooke Miller.

The Grace boys won with 32 points, packing all five scoring runners in the top-10, while Seward took second with 81, beating ACS by five points. ACS junior Tristian Merchant blazed to victory in a time of 15:27, beating the field by 65 seconds.

The Kenai boys were fifth with 106 points. Kardinals junior Maison Dunham led the charge in third with a time of 16:41. Dunham’s previous best state finish was sixth in 2018. Seward was led by junior Max Pfeiffenberger in 12th and senior Bjorn Nilsson in 13th.

At the Division I level, the South girls and Dimond boys took home team titles.

Dimond dominated the boys race with three in the top five, led by race winner Santiago Prosser. Prosser blazed the course in 15:14.4, beating runner-up Alexander Maurer of Service by 23 seconds.

Soldotna senior Bradley Walters led the peninsula in 44th with a time of 17:39.

The Division I girls race was dominated by West Valley senior Kendall Kramer, who captured her third straight state crown with a smoking time of 17:38.3, the fastest girls Bartlett course time since Allie Ostrander ran 17:06 as a senior in 2014. Kramer said she wasn’t expecting to threaten Ostrander’s course record.

“She’s a whole another breed,” Kramer said.

South nipped West Valley for the team title 57-53, stacking three runners in the top 10 and all five scoring runners in the top 17. The race was one of the fastest in recent memory as 23 girls finished below the 20-minute barrier.

Soldotna sophomore Jordan Strausbaugh led the peninsula in 30th with a time of 20:24, while Region III champion teammate Erika Arthur finished 40th in 20:41.

Haines swept the Division III boys and girls team championships in the first year of the separate division for the smallest schools. Siyel Galindo-George of Haines won the boys race in 16:59, while Nikolaevsk sophomore Justin Trail led the peninsula with a ninth-place result in 17:55.2. Nikolaevsk head coach Steve Klaich praised Trail for setting his own PR by one second.

Haines won the girls race as well with Avery Williamson getting the win in 21:08.

Nikolaevsk senior Isabella Hickman finished 39th in 25:21, while senior teammate Sophia Klaich took 53rd in 26:20.

DAIGLE DOUBLE Daigle’s state title comes two years after she won her first. In 2017, Daigle used a last-second surge to outkick Seward senior Ruby Lindquist. The win came as a small shock to Daigle and the running community, which she said was different because the expectations weren’t there.

“In the back of my mind I thought I could do it, but thought it would take a lot,” she said. “This year was different because I haven’t See run, Page B3

Nikiski defeats Seward to clinch berth in playoffs

Clinching a spot in the playoffs. A homecoming victory. A win on senior day. Taking the first Fish Bowl trophy. The first home triumph of the season.

Nikiski had it all in its 42-12 Peninsula Conference victory over rival Seward on Friday night, except for the bonfire.

After the game, it was announced that there would be no homecoming big blaze due to rattling winds that had tore across the field the entire game. After the

wildfire chocked summer the peninsula had this summer, let’s just say nobody was complaining.

Nobody from the Nikiski side was complaining about the game either.

The Bulldogs finished their regular season by clinching the No. 2 playoff spot out of the Peninsula Conference.

The Bulldogs (3-1, 3-4) will play at Barrow in the Division III semifinals Saturday.

On homecoming, Nikiski also honored senior cheerleaders Aura Petrick and Jewelia Alex, plus senior football players Noah Litke,

Caleb Weeks, Hamilton Cox, Michael Eiter, Mason Payne, Sam Berry and Michael Mysing.

To top it all off, Nikiski took the first Fish Bowl trophy ever awarded. The trophy will go to the winner of the NikiskiSeward game each year.

The paperwork to Mysing’s senior day introduction was lost in the shuffle before the game, so fans didn’t get to hear all about him, but they learned soon enough.

The senior had four rushing touchdowns, plus kicked all See clinch, Page B2

Walden remembers how important it was for him to make his varsity debut late in a game against Palmer as a sophomore, so doing the same for today’s underclassmen is important.

“We wanted to execute and get a lead so all the little kids could play,” he said.

Brantley Jr. said the game worked out perfectly, with the varsity playing well for a half and staying healthy, and the young players gaining valuable experience.

The Kardinals were able to win the second half 12-8.

SoHi’s points came on a touchdown run by Dennis Taylor and a two-point conversion by Alvin Faletoi. Kenai got a pair of scoring runs from Tucker Vann, who led the team with 111 yards rushing on 21 carries.

Akana’s squad came into the game knowing the playoffs were out of reach. The coach asked his players to play hard the whole game anyway, and he said they did that.

The game also served as senior day for the Kards.

Akana said quarterback Kayden Daniels did a good job of leading and staying positive, Braedon Pitsch, Hunter Beck and Gary Dent are great team players everyone wants to coach, Justin Anderson went out with an incredible punting

CIA soccer falls in Borealis semis Staff report

Peninsula Clarion

The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team lost 2-1 in overtime to Susitna Valley on Friday in the semifinals of the Borealis Conference tournament in Palmer. The Borealis tourney also serves as the state tournament for coed soccer in the fall.

The loss sent CIA to play Tri-Valley at 10 a.m. Saturday. That result was not available as the Clarion went to press.

Susitna Valley was the defending conference champion, but the Eagles gave the Rams all they could handle.

“It’s disappointing to come so close and end up short, but we played some of the best soccer of our

season today,” CIA head coach Kenny Leaf wrote in an email. “I’m very proud of the effort I saw out there.”

Leaf said cold, rainy weather made field conditions difficult on the natural grass at the MTA Events Center. Neither team was able to score in the first half.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Su Valley knocked in the first goal of the match. But shortly later, Linnaea Dohse crossed the ball to Tatum Rozak, who nodded the ball on goal.

Isaac Johnson hammered home the equalizer.

Neither team would score in regulation or the first five minutes of overtime. But in the 86th minute, Su Valley’s Dalton Pinard finished from close range for a 2-1 lead.

Steel sweep Brown Bears Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears were swept on the road against the Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel, losing 8-2 on Friday and 5-0 on Saturday in North American Hockey League play.

The Steel move to 6-2-0-0 and into first place in the Midwest Division, while Kenai River falls to 4-2-1-1 and is tied with Fairbanks for second in the division.

The Brown Bears have their home opener Friday at 7:30 p.m. against the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex.

Chippewa’s Chase Hamstad lit the lamp just 10 seconds in Friday night to jump-start a barrage of scoring for the Steel.

Friday’s loss snapped a four-game win streak for

Kenai River. It was the first game of the year that the Bears failed to come away with a point after seven games of NAHL action.

The Brown Bears found life difficult against a Steel team ranked 10th (of 26 teams) in the league in scoring, but sixth-best in goals allowed.

Hamstad’s quick strike led to a three-goal burst in the opening period for Chippewa.

Kenai River broke through 54 seconds into the second when Theo Thrun tallied his team-high fourth goal of the year on a Bears’ power play, getting help from Zach Krajnik and Max Helgeson to cut the lead to 3-1.

Chippewa came back with goals from Alec Schwab and Ian Famulak (on a shorthanded strike) to push the lead back to 5-1.

Krajnik scored on the power play with 4:10

remaining in the second, but penalties continued to hurt the Bears, which committed four for a draining 24 minutes in the second period alone.

Schwab finished the night with two goals for Chippewa, as did forward Jacob Dirks.

Chippewa forward Connor Szmul tallied five assists.

Landon Pavlisin took the loss in goal for Kenai River, giving up six goals on 35 shots. Danny Fraga took over for Pavlisin in the third period and gave up two goals on three shots. Grant Boldt stopped 27 of 29 for the Steel.

Saturday, the Steel scored once in the first period, three times in the second and once in the third.

Danny Fraga made 42 saves for Kenai River, while Trent Burnham stopped 27 for the Steel.

SoHi netters take 1st loss; Kenai sweeps

The Soldotna volleyball team lost for the first time this season, falling to Wasilla on Saturday in Northern Lights Conference play in Wasilla.

The scores were 29-31, 19-25, 25-20, 25-21 and 15-12.

SoHi is now 10-1 in nontournament play and 5-1 in the league.

“It was a wild gam e,” SoHi coach Luke Baumer said.

“It’s always tough to play in Wasilla. I was pleased with how our girls played.

“The loss wasn’t because we didn’t play well, it was because the ball fell Wasilla’s way.”

Ituau Tuisaula had 26 kills and four blocks, while Sierra Kuntz had 53 assists, Serena Foglia had 11 kills and Holleigh Jaime had 18 digs and five aces.

Soldotna travels to Homer for a 5 p.m. match Tuesday.

Soldotna 3, Wasilla 1 The Stars grabbed a rare road win over Wasilla on Friday night with a thrilling conference victory.

SoHi won with game scores of 25-23, 25-18, 17-25 and 32-30, winning the last set on an outside hit by Morgan Bouschor, according to SoHi head coach Luke Baumer.

“It was intense, back and forth all game,” Baumer said.

“It was basically a battle of our serve-receive against their serve-receive, and it was about who could get the last sideout. They had their big guns and we had our big guns.”

Baumer, who had never coached a game to 32 points, said it was the first win over Wasilla on the Warriors’ home court in four years.

Baumer said that beating Wasilla gave SoHi another jolt of confidence with the region tournament only a

month away.

“It’s a big win, and the girls were just super hyped up, there was a lot of energy,” he said. “They knew if they were going to wind up losing, they were going to lose by swinging and being aggressive.”

The SoHi attack was led by senior Ituau Tuisaula, who had 21 kills and eight aces, while teammate Bailey Armstrong tallied 11 kills.

Senior libero Holleigh Jaime recorded 24 digs, Sierra Kuntz had 49 assists and Bouschor notched 14 digs.

Kenai 3, Redington 0 The Kardinals secured a Southcentral Conference victory Friday night with game scores of 25-15, 25-21 and 25-13. The win pushed Kenai to 3-2 in conference play.

“We had a pep rally right before the game,” Mysing said. “We were yelling at each other in the locker room. We were ready to play.”

Nikiski head coach Paul Nelson said he wanted his team to take a step forward heading into the playoffs.

Nelson said his squad did that against a Seward team that, despite finishing with just 12 players and an 0-4 and 0-8 record, refused to roll over.

“We had to earn this one,” Nelson said.

Nikiski opened the game with a scoring drive, but the Bulldogs’ next two drives were thwarted by an interception by Chad Quinn and turning the ball over on downs. The score rested at 7-0 after a period.

Down 21-0, the Seahawks moved the ball to their own 45-yard line late in the second quarter, but Nikiski’s Caileb Payne picked off Seward quarterback Thommy Cronin.

“Everything was because of my blockers.”

In the third quarter, Sam Berry, who rushed 13 times for 140 yards, had a score, then Eiter finished off the Seahawks with a 20-yard interception return. The Seahawks had five turnovers with Eiter, Caleb Weeks and Koleman McCaughey also getting fumble recoveries.

The Seahawks, who forced Nikiski into three turnovers, didn’t quit in the fourth quarter. Seniors Quinn and Shane Sullivan both had scoring runs, Sullivan’s a 2-yard scamper with 6 seconds left that just beat a running clock.

Quinn had 112 yards on the ground, while Sullivan had 128.

“They fought like that all year,” Seward head coach Kelly Cinereski said of his team. “They don’t quit.

They’ve been behind most of the year. They have good hearts. They’re just young.”

Senior Andrew Milligan also played in his last game for the Seahawks, but Cinereski is optimistic about the future. He brings 16 players back, though some of those were not there Friday due to injury and ineligibility.

Kenai swimmers sweep Seward Invitational Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai girls and boys swimmers swept the Seward Invitational on Saturday in Seward.

The Kardinals girls scored 404 points, while Soldotna had 391 and Seward had 196. The Kardinals boys had 457 points, while Seward had

352 and Soldotna had 322.

On the girls side, Seward’s Lydia Jacoby and Kenai’s Riley Reese each took a pair of victories. Jacoby won the 200-yard individual medley and 100 breaststroke, and Reese won the 50 freestyle and 100 breaststroke.

On the boys side, Soldotna’s Ethan Evans and Seward’s Connor Spanos

lost a race yet. It was more pressure this year, because everyone’s watching me and expecting me to win.”

With a win streak on the line Saturday, Daigle said she approached the race with a different, more experienced, mind-set. She said winning races this year forced her to experiment with a different racing style than she had to become accustomed to.

“I’m not a fan of leading races, but I had to learn how to do that this year,” she said.

In Saturday’s race, Daigle took control of the race in the first kilometer and never looked back. After mixing it up with a group of girls in the opening kilometer, Daigle made her move over Anna Prussian of Sitka as they approached the halfway mark, and took a nine-second lead at the end of 3K. Daigle said Prussian’s presence behind her kept her motivated.

“I didn’t even know she existed,” Daigle said about learning of her competition. “Then my coach gave me a page of all the (top) times and names this morning, and I’m like, ‘Who is that?’”

Daigle also completed the state comeback after an interrupted season of races and practices. The Swan Lake Fire between Sterling and Cooper Landing canceled several meets, including the annual Tsalteshi Invite in August, and Daigle said the team dealt with over two weeks of indoor practices due to the smoke and unhealthy air.

“I definitely felt that today,” she said. “Up the hills, I was dying.”

Behind Daigle, the Kenai girls were

each had two wins. Evans won the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke, while Spanos won the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly.

celebrating a successful group effort.

Boonstra’s debut in fourth place highlighted a big day for the Kardinals, who finished second in the team rankings. Boonstra, 14, said her highest goal was to place top 5, so fourth was a bonus.

“It’s pretty exciting,” Boonstra said.

“I definitely didn’t expect it. It’s been a great season.”

Boonstra said her strong family history — her parents both were some of the nation’s top Nordic skiers and older sister Riana is a former Division I runner-up — helped inspire her.

“I don’t feel pressure at all,” Boonstra said. “All my family members definitely set a good example for me.

I have someone (Riana) to look up to.”

Fallon followed up an eighth-place result in 2018 with a sixth on Saturday, and said she exceeded her own expectations, which included beating teammate Logan Satathite. Fallon said it was the first time she finished ahead of Satathite.

“I started to pull away on the last downhill,” Fallon said. “And I started kicking it in sooner. I couldn’t feel my legs.”

First-year head coach Bailey Beeson said the Kardinals left everything on the course, which is what she needed as a coach.

“I gave the girls some names and some teams to chase after, and they listened,” Beeson said. “This is the most tired I’ve seen them, so it worked.”

DUNHAM LEADS D2 BOYS Dunham’s third-place result comes after finishes of sixth and 11th his first two years at state. Kenai’s other scoring runners were sophomore

teammate Joe Hamilton in 14th (17:23), freshman Ky Calvert in 26th (18:31), sophomore Luke Cross in 33rd (18:42) and sophomore Tyler Hippchen in 42nd (19:21).

Dunham blazed the course Saturday with a different look, too. The junior ran with his hair dyed red and strung up in multiple braids, which he attributed to the girls on the team.

Dunham said he needed some sort of motivation to keep up with the rainslicked trail.

“Conditions were really bad,” he said. “The course was really mud. It wasn’t that bad, I just stumbled every once in a while.”

While trying to keep up with Merchant was a lost cause, Dunham said Sitka’s Dominic Baciocco provided a good rabbit to chase.

“I was trying to get second,” Dunham said. “(Baciocco) started off ahead of me and I couldn’t make it up. He always had 20 or 30 meters on me.”

SOHI GIRLS MIX IT UP Strausbaugh led the Stars in the Division I girls race, one week after finishing third at the Region III meet behind teammate Erika Arthur, who won the region meet. Strausbaugh said she was surprised to be running ahead of her friend from the beginning.

“She’s very fast,” Strausbaugh said. “During practices we both run together and push each other. And especially during the race.”

Strausbaugh and Arthur were followed across the line by senior Ryann Cannava in 60th (21:29), sophomore Ellie Burns in 67th (21:54) and sophomore Jordan Ruffner in 69th (22:06).

Diving — 1. Foster Boze, Sol, 163.50; 2. Kaden

Strausbaugh finished 16th at state last year as a freshman, but said the slick trails made it difficult to run aggressively.

“I tried pushing it up the hills,” she said. “But I think my problems was I wasn’t pushing it on the downhills or straights.”

The SoHi girls finished seventh out of 10 teams at the Division I level.

Stars head coach Ted McKenney said the competition Saturday was among the fiercest he has ever seen.

“A good time for our runners today put us in the 30s in place,” McKenney said. “Our girl runs 16th (last year) and she runs faster this year and finishes 15 places back. The competition is just really tough, coupled with half a season of broken meets and practices.”

WALTERS LEADS D1 BOYS In the Division I boys race, Walters capped his high school cross-country career with a tough race, after a time of 17:08 put him in 23rd last year.

Saturday, Walters echoed the sentiments of all peninsula teams in that the state race was difficult to peak for after the extended wildfire season.

“Probably just a combination of how the season was going with smoke and bizarre temperatures,” he said. “We missed a lot of hard practices. I tried to go harder but it was a bad race.

“It just feels when I try to go harder, I just can’t. My body stops me.”

Walters was followed across the line by senior teammate Lance Chilton in 74th (18:41), Kaden Matson in 76th (18:47), junior Anchor Musgrave in 78th (18:57), junior Zachary Burns in 79th (18:57) and sophomore Quinn Cox in 80th (18:57).

McKenney attributed the season of smoke and wildfire for setting up a tough challenge for the Stars.

“I’m still proud of them for fighting and working hard,” he said. “Everyone else is ready and we’re just not peaking yet. We need another four weeks.”

Bringing HOPE

to women on the Kenai Peninsula.

While 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her life, there are over 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the United States today. The best defense is early detection: Know how your breasts usually feel and look and report any changes to your physician right away. A mammogram is the most effective way to detect cancer when lumps are too small to be felt or seen. Experts recommend a yearly mammogram beginning at age 40 for women at average risk; for those with higher risk factors a mammogram may be recommended earlier. Talk to your doctor to see what screening options are right for you.

Shoppers have more options to return online purchases

By Anne D’innocenzio Associated Press

NEW YORK — Ahead of the holiday season, shoppers have more options to return unwanted items bought online as retailers look for new ways to drive traffic.

Plenty of retailers like Target and Walmart allow shoppers to easily drop off online returns at their stores. But now, a growing number of retailers are accepting rivals’ returns.

Nordstrom’s new service hubs in Los Angeles and Manhattan accept returns of online orders from any retailer. In July, Kohl’s started

accepting Amazon returns in all 1,100 stores, up from 100 previously.

Meanwhile, Happy Returns, a Santa Monica, California-based startup that works with about 30 online retailers, more than doubled the number of drop-off locations to 700.

The moves come as retailers aim to reduce costs while making it easier for shoppers to return online items. The average return rate for online transactions is 25% compared with 8% for store purchases, according to Forrester Research’s online analyst Sucharita Mulpuru.

Package delivery giant UPS is

adding 12,000 pickup and return locations inside CVS, Michaels and Advance Auto Parts stores. The new locations will bring to 21,000 the number of pickup points UPS has in the U.S. “Returning a product is annoying,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail.

“If you can take some of the hassle by giving customers lots of options, that’s really customer service.”

But Saunders and others note that shoppers need to make sure that they didn’t miss the return deadline.

They also need to check other things like whether the items were bought on a retailer’s marketplace of

third-party sellers and also how fast can they get the refund. Also, some services like Happy Returns allows shoppers to return online orders in person without a box or label. For others, you need the packaging.

Here are three tips for returning online orders: Know the rules when returning goods from rivals: Through a partnership with technology company Narvar, Walgreens now lets shoppers return online orders at more than 8,000 U.S. locations that have FedEx onsite to partners such as Levi Strauss and Urban Outfitters.

Narvar’s concierge service also has drop-off locations at 15 Nordstrom

stores for its retail partners. Narvar CEO Amit Sharma says shoppers have to bring in their packaging with the QR code, but in the next few months, the packaging will be available for a fee.

Meanwhile, Nordstrom’s service hubs — mini stores that do not have merchandise on hand — in Los Angeles and Manhattan allow shoppers to return online orders from any retailer. Customers bring the packaged items, with or without the preprinted return labels, and a salesperson will ship them out. There is no service fee. At the See returns, Page C2

New way to pamper your pet: fancy furniture

By Katherine Roth Associated Press

No longer are furniture companies content to offer you staples like a sofa, easy chair and bed. Now they have those items for your pet, too, designed not to clash with the rest of your decor.

Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Ikea, Casper mattresses and other popular furniture purveyors have lines for pets, often in styles that complement their human-size living room furniture.

Elegant furniture for pets is hardly new. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has an 18th century dog kennel in its holdings that was made for Marie Antoinette for her royal dog Coco. The “niche de chien,” of gilded beech and pine covered in velvet, features a swank interior lined in silk. Other pet furniture of the period resembled canopied beds or tabouret-shaped chairs. (Coco is said to have gone with the queen to prison during the French Revolution.)

In some homes, gone are the days when a plaid cushion tossed in a corner seemed just fine for a dog.

“Dogs and cats are no longer sleeping in mud rooms or outside. They’re in the family den and they’re full-fledged family members,” says Martha Stewart Living’s Editor in Chief, Elizabeth Graves. “People refer to themselves as pet ‘parents,’ not ‘owners,’ and they treat their pets accordingly.”

Casper says its dog bed offers “the perfect sleep environment designed and engineered around dog behavior,” and is made of “supportive and comforting foam.” Its decor-friendly outer covers run in gray, blue and sand — and in a range of sizes suited for dogs from tiny up to 90 pounds.

More in the spirit of Marie Antoinette’s bed for Coco, Pottery Barn offers a “Chesterfield Pet Bed” with a handcrafted wood frame, button-tufted back, nail-head trim, and a removable velvet cushion that’s waterproof and washable.

There’s plenty of inspiring furniture for cats, too.

The Ombre Cat Cave, made in Nepal by Dharma Dog and Karma Cat and sold by Crate and Barrel, is billed as an “artisanal cat cave” designed to “provide a comfortable getaway for your favorite feline.”

With a more contemporary aesthetic, Crate and Barrel’s cone-shaped Nooee Toby Pet Cave, in pale gray felt, is

designed to look “sophisticated and understated in the modern home.”

Ikea has recently introduced a line of pet furniture and accessories — Lurvig — made to coordinate with the company’s furniture lines for humans.

Says Ikea Designer Inma Bermudez: “I feel that my pets are the ones who can really take me to the present moment. When we share our time together, my head is more free and other worries and stress fall away.

They teach us respect, and their unconditional love is priceless.”

The trick, designers say, is coming up with designs that look good to humans while meeting the comfort needs of pets.

“The biggest challenge is not to humanize pet

products,” says Barbara Schäfer, a veterinarian who works in product risk assessment at IKEA. “It’s really important to use animal’s natural needs and behaviors like how they sleep, eat or play as starting points. Then we can design a product that fits in with our ‘human needs’ such as style and form.”

And pet furniture doesn’t stop at pieces meant for lounging. There’s an array of food and water dish pedestals and stands on the market.

“Especially for older pets, it can sometimes be hard for them to bend down,” says Graves, of Martha Stewart, which offers several DIY projects for cat beds and raised dishes.

Elevated dishes can also look more, well, elevated in a home setting than food and water dishes set on the floor.

Tribal members aim to cultivate healthy future with gardens

By Brian Hallenbeck The Day

NORTH STONINGTON, Conn.

— In his mind’s eye, Daniel Menihan Jr. sees a time when backyard vegetable gardens dot the Mashantucket Pequot reservation, their yields nourishing healthy tribal families.

By then, he figures, the Mashantuckets’ own commercial growing operation could be regularly supplying produce to Foxwoods Resort Casino restaurants.

It’s a pretty picture. And it’s not far-fetched.

Two years into a four-year collaboration with the University of Connecticut’s College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources, tribal members led

by Menihan, a tribal councilor, have grown sweet corn and heirloom tomatoes on tribe-owned

property here on Swantown Hill, near Foxwoods’ Lake of Isles golf courses.

They’re about to harvest honey and will soon plant lettuce.

Funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Federally Recognized Tribes Extension Program, the undertaking seeks to improve food security among the Mashantuckets; engage tribal youth; boost the economic viability of the 1,100-member tribe’s agricultural enterprises and educate tribal members about nutrition and health.

“It’s a great investment from the health standpoint,” said Menihan, who likes to emphasize that aspect of the program. “We bring the kids up here and let them pick stuff and take it home. They light up.”

Menihan, joined by Shuresh Ghimire, a UConn Extension educator who helped the tribe

secure the federal grant, led a recent tour of the Swantown Hill property. Part of a 187-acre parcel known as the Ackerman Farm, it was purchased by the tribe about 15 years ago. Participants in the program have tilled a cornfield and a children’s garden and constructed two side-by-side high tunnels — greenhouse-like structures that facilitate growing in a semi-controlled environment.

The high tunnels are not heated, and the plants grown inside them are rooted in the ground. In greenhouses, plants typically are grown in containers.

With Ghimire guiding the process, the tribe grew tomatoes in one of the high tunnels during the growing season that recently concluded. Some of the harvest was sold at a stand on the reservation to tribal members, employees and the community. The plan is to

start selling tomatoes to Foxwoods in 2020.

The $280,000 federal grant — $70,000 a year for four years — and additional funding from the Indian Land Tenure Foundation, a nonprofit organization, has so far provided for soil-testing, the high tunnels, hook-ups for water and electricity, development of a business plan and the purchase of such equipment as cold storage, a disc harrow, a rototiller and a mulch layer.

A good chunk of the grant money goes to pay two youthful tribal members who are being trained in vegetable-growing, knowledge they will impart to tribal youth. Some of the training takes place in a classroom.

In a sign of its commitment to the program, the tribe also has created two full-time positions to support the growing efforts,

Menihan said.

The program has helped foster a relationship between the tribe and UConn Extension, an outreach service that maintains offices around the state, including one in Norwich, about 10 miles from the tribe’s reservation. Despite the proximity, there had been little interaction between the two.

“They rarely attended our events; we knew little about them,” Ghimire said. “We sat down together and talked about the need for this grant. We knew we could help them to grow their own food and help with health and nutrition within their cultural ways.”

Menihan said U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, played a key role in making it happen.

Returns From Page C1

Amazon kiosks at Kohl’s, customers don’t need a box or a label for a free return.

Happy Returns lets customers return items from online retailers including Eloquii, Rothy’s and Everlane. Happy Returns “return bars” can be found at shopping centers and other retailers including most recently all 276 Cost Plus World Markets. In return for serving as host for Happy Returns, its online retailer partners promote the locations and

offer customers coupons and other deals.

Look for eco-friendly alternatives: Happy Returns is eliminating cardboard boxes used to ship bulk returns to retailers and substituting them with reusable totes made from recycled plastic. In an effort to reduce waste and make the return process easier, Target is in the process of eliminating packing slips from all orders shipped directly to customers from stores and fulfillment centers. To return an online purchase, customers can mail the items back using a link within their shipping confirmation email

or Target.com account, or by looking up the order using the Target app or the card they used for purchase when making a return at a store.

Consider return service at home: Shoppers are increasingly able to have a return get picked up inside their home.

Walmart says it will launch such a return service later this year but didn’t offer any details. It’s all part of how retailers are focusing more on in-home deliveries and other services. In June, Walmart announced it would have one of its employees deliver fresh groceries and put them in your refrigerator when you’re not home. It launched

its in-home delivery service in three cities: Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Missouri, and Vero Beach, Florida.

Many digital natives are offering free in-home return pick up services, according to AlixPartners, a consulting company. For example, online mattress company Casper offers a 100-night free trial for its mattresses. If someone would like to return their mattress, its customer service team takes care of removing the mattress from the customer’s home at no cost and issuing a full refund.

The returned mattress does not go in a box when picked up, according to Casper.

Flowers that are cut for drying should be almost fully bloomed, like these. Many methods are available for flower drying, but most people simply hang them upside down by their stems for a couple of weeks in a dark, dry room.

To keep enjoying your garden’s flowers, consider drying them

By Dean Fosdick Associated Press

Cut flowers have an intense but brief vase life, lasting generally about a week. Yet they can be preserved as attractive and long-lasting arrangements when properly dried and displayed.

Air-drying is the simplest and cheapest way to go about it, but other methods may be better for locking in the flowers’ colors.

People often use drying agents or desiccants that include one or more mixtures of sand, activated charcoal, glycerin, gels, borax, sawdust and cornstarch. Others dry plants using dehydrators, and microwave and standard ovens.

Most common, though, is simply hanging the plants upside down by their stems in a dark, dry room. Hanging keeps the stems straight.

The warmer the space, the faster the plants dry. Adding a fan helps speed things along.

“Testing with a few flowers and different drying times may be necessary, however,” said Cindy Haynes, an associate professor of horticulture with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

Silica sand, when used for preserving flowers, tends to be better at retaining their natural colors, but no single process works for all plants, Haynes said.

When using this method, the entire flower head is normally submerged or covered in a box of the silica sand or gel.

“This is often used for delicate flowers that don’t respond well to air drying or for flowers for crafts that don’t need the stems,” Haynes said.

Blooms with a low moisture content, pinecones, seed heads, foliage, grains and grasses are the most popular choices for centerpieces or special occasion use (think wintertime

weddings or fragrant Valentine nosegays). Combining their different colors, sizes, shapes and textures results in the best displays.

Certain flowers like globe amaranth, strawflower and celosia have petals that are partially dry at bloom so they dry quickly and retain their shape well during and after the drying process, Haynes said.

“These species and several grasses and grains are often listed on ‘flowers for drying’ lists,” she said.

“Other, more succulent flowers, are less successful as dried flowers.”

Dried flowers usually are arranged into bouquets, but there are many other applications. Dried plants can be used for cooking (cakes, teas), bathing, paired with cleaning products (delightful scents), attached to homemade cards and parchment paper, and made into dyes, gifts, wreaths, or sachets and potpourri.

Some generic tips for drying flowers: ■ Harvest in the cool of the morning, but after the dew evaporates. That prevents mold from developing.

■ Flowers that are cut for drying should be almost fully bloomed, according to horticulturists with Johnny’s Selected Seeds in Winslow, Maine. “In the weeks when they are drying, the flowers will continue to open,” they said in a fact sheet.

■ Remove all foliage from the stems, and do it while in the field. Leaves are unsightly when dried.

■ Collect more than you think you’ll need, to account for breakage while handling. Dried flowers are fragile.

“Most flowers are dry after two weeks of airdrying and they will be dry to the touch,” Haynes said in an email. “In the dried state (and kept out of direct sunlight), they will retain their color and not change much over time.”

Ryan Chapman and other students starting Staffordshire University’s esports degree course play “Counter-Strike‚” in the school’s new London digital studio. A number of U.K. and U.S. universities are launching degrees in esports, or competitive multiplayer videogaming, to capitalize on the booming industry’s growing demand for skilled professionals.

Ready student one? Colleges launch degrees in esports

By Kelvin Chan Associated Press

LONDON — On their first week in class, a group of students is playing a firstperson shooter video game in a sleek new digital studio.

It’s their introduction to the degree in esports they’ve all enrolled in.

The group clicking away on their mice are at the University of Staffordshire, one of several U.K. and U.S. schools launching programs aimed at capitalizing on the booming industry’s need for skilled professionals.

Ryan Chapman, 18, said his parents were “skeptical at first” about studying esports, or competitive multiplayer videogaming.

“But now they understand how big the industry is growing, the pace it’s growing at.

They’re now really all for it because it’s a great industry to start to get into,” said Chapman, who was among the students in the lab playing Counter-Strike, one of the most popular esports games.

The University of Staffordshire last year launched its bachelor’s and master’s esports programs, in which students mainly learn marketing and management skills tailored to the industry. This autumn, it’s expanding the program to London while

other schools are also debuting esports degree courses, including Britain’s Chichester University, Virginia’s Shenandoah University, Becker College in Massachusetts and The Ohio State University. In Asia, where esports has seen strong growth, schools in Singapore and China offer courses.

The global esports market is expected to surge to $1.1 billion this year, up $230 million from 2018 on growth in sponsorships, merchandise and ticket sales, according to Newzoo . The research firm expects the global esports audience to grow in 2019 to about 454 million as fans tune in on livestreaming platforms such as Twitch and Microsoft’s Mixer.

Esports tournaments have become a cultural phenomenon and now rival traditional sports events in size and scale.

Big competitions are held in arenas where thousands of fans watch big-name professional video gamers compete for lucrative prize pools.

Esports leagues have franchises in North America, Europe and Asia. The biggest names, such as Fortnite superstar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, can earn millions in prize money and livestreaming deals. Esports are even

foreign to the historically agrarian tribe, which raised the “three sisters” — corn, beans and squash — as well as tobacco centuries ago.

After the tribe reorganized in the 1970s and before it gained the federal recognition that allowed it to pursue gaming in the 1980s, members raised hogs, harvested maple syrup and grew hydroponic lettuce.

More recently, the tribe’s Sugar Shack maple syrup business started selling syrup at Foxwoods in 2016 and currently provides it to the casino’s Cedars Steaks & Oyster and VUE 24 restaurants. The syrup also is

set to be a medal event at the Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines in November.

Dozens of U.S. colleges have offered varsity level esports competitions for years. But some schools are taking it a step further by adding courses as the industry’s boom drives demand for professionals who know how to, for example, organize esports tournaments.

New niche degrees partly highlight the changing economy, but they also reflect the “need to communicate to parents and students that there will be a job waiting for someone once they earn a degree,” which may include hefty tuition fees and student loans to pay for them, said Joni Finney, director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute for Research on Higher Education.

She worried that some degrees are too specialized and that some schools are launching them to offset falling enrolment.

“It’s really up to the faculty of those institutions to step up and say, ‘You know, a degree in business will cover these kinds of jobs,’ rather than saying we have a degree in a certain job category,” Finney said.

Becker College formally

launched its Bachelor of Science in esports management this month after an initial “soft release” last year.

“It’s no longer kids playing games in their basement,” said Alan Ritacco, dean of Becker College’s School of Design and Technology. The top esports players now earn almost as much as the highest paid stars in traditional sports like golf or tennis, he said.

The schools emphasize that their courses aren’t about just playing video games.

“People are unaware of the industry that goes behind esports,” said Matt Huxley, a lecturer at Staffordshire University’s Digital Institute London, a new outpost in tech hub Here East that the university, which is based near Birmingham, England, opened so students could be closer to companies in the capital.

Huxley, who teaches a class on organizing tournaments, said learning about esports was akin to studying sports management.

“If you were to go and study to be a director of football you’re not playing football, you’re learning the business behind how (player) transfers work, how you run a stadium and all those kind of operational things.”

available at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center and at the tribe’s Pequot Outpost convenience store.

Ghimire said federal officials monitoring the tribe’s progress have been impressed. About 40 percent of the benchmarks for the four-year program were achieved in the first year, according to Menihan.

Still ahead are the establishment of a 4-H Club for tribal youth and further educational outreach to tribal members in need of information about nutrition and diabetes, a disease endemic in Indian Country.

Healthier eating, including less consumption of fast food, is a goal tribal populations embrace.

Menihan wants to work

on establishing a Mashantucket Pequot Department of Agriculture as a standalone division of tribal government. He said the idea has the support of the tribal council and tribal membership.

“You want to do right first,” he said of the health aspect of the growing program. “That’s the real priority.”

Hence his goal of seeing, within 10 years, “vegetables growing in everybody’s backyards.”

He readily acknowledged that the economics are important, too. Before the federal grant money runs out in 2021, the Mashantuckets’ commercial farming operation might have to be able to sustain itself as well as the tribe.

Sea Side Story: ‘The Rumble’

ugust owes its buddy, September, a big-time apology. It showed up so late with its benchmark cool weather and prodigious rain-spawning clouds that ole number nine on the calendar had to perform double duty trying to get fall organized before October came knocking.

Special note: Well done, September. The flora finally donned its fall fashions and we’ve received enough rain that migrating waterfowl are overnighting in an overflow pond on our access road. So, back off a bit, OK? September was a dazzling flyby of 30 days that tempered fires, rejuvenated the landscape and encouraged the charge of milling silver warriors up the cooling and rising streams.

Nice things happen when Mother Nature chills after one of her “hot around the collar” snits and allows her four seasonal offspring to resume their customary playtimes.

It wasn’t long after the region was refreshed by soothing veils of moisture working their magic on sunburned leaves and parched lawns that the fauna surrounding our cabin by the sea started to strut rather than sulk.

Example: In a fishing column few weeks ago, I noted that as dawn morphed from a dull steel radiance to a crimson ember’s glow, I stepped out of the cabin to head out for an old fishing haunt when a bizarre fracas broke out in the middle of our driveway.

A large gray hare had been nibbling along the edge of our sun-mugged lawn and had begun a leisurely hip-hop back into the surrounding brush when a clutch of adolescent pheasants suddenly appeared from the adjacent foliage.

The floppy-eared critter froze as the curious youngsters approached, bobbing and weaving like wannabe Jets from “West Side Story.”

Most of the brood were cautious and merely seemed interested in inspecting the furry creature, while others were the “bad boy” types showing off their ruffled, cock rooster, youth-muted colors in addition to signaling imminent gangsta assaults.

The hare looked somewhat bemused by the feathered mob but held his ground until one of them would get too close, then went Bruce Lee on the encroacher with an impressive spin kick that never hit a thing but startled the testosterone out of the offender.

The dustup lasted until the avian ruffians finally realized there was a minute possibility that the annoyed bunny just might luck out and permanently rearrange their beaks, so they faded into the underbrush, leaving the critter sitting on its butt wondering, “What the hell was that all about?”

If that encounter had transpired 15 days earlier, the faux toughs would have just stood there watching each other sweat until they either suffered heatstroke or regained enough common sense

Unhinged alaska Nick Varney to stagger into the nearby shade.

As of this writing, Sea Side Story standoffs between The Chicks and The Hares (another one has shown up) continue periodically but neither side has laid a claw or a hairy foot on each other much to the chagrin of the hawk watching from a nearby spruce.

I figure he is patiently waiting for a full throwdown kerfuffle so he can swoop in and nail an unsuspecting combatant that is more interested in landing a peck or a punch than watching the skies.

The way it looks, the raptor might as well go back to snacking on field shrews because the rumbles between these two factions are more of a display of heroic puffery than fur and feathers flying. They should be embarrassed.

I’m sure all of the backforty drama will dwindle as quickly as the daylight hours when the first icicle winds burst across the fields announcing that it’s winter’s turn to frolic across the landscape.

Come to think of it, that time may not be far off.

Last week, during a lull in the progression of playedout tropical storms rolling north to die, the shrouds of overcasts receded enough to view the mountains across the bay. There was no question as to what lurked over there.

The highest peaks and glacier walls held undisputable evidence that old man winter had peeked over their zeniths while brushing what looked to be the residue of a mini, powdered sugar, donut from his beard depositing a light cloak of termination dust on the apexes.

It was a shot across our bow that only those with the brainpower of a breakfast burrito would ignore so it’s time to gear up and gear down depending what turns your crank over during the ensuing months.

As for us? At the moment, we are dealing with a couple of new arrivals in our little patch of paradise.

After a two-year hiatus, ermines are back in our woodpile and they are welcome because they are ravenous assassins when it comes to being local “meet and eat” rodent greeters although they can be a bit mischievous at times.

For now, they seem content to scramble up to the top of a deck post that gives them an excellent view of the weenie stand-offs between the two gangs.

What they are contemplating, I don’t have a clue, but it wouldn’t be surprising to walk out the door one morning and find a pile of fur or scattered feathers on the disputed turf. Man, oh man, will that p.o. the hawk.

Guide Tim Hiner inducted into Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame Tim Hiner, a guide on the Kenai river for the past 43 years, was inducted into the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Soldotna on June 15. The ceremony took place along the banks of the Kenai River — where Hiner has guided and instructed more than 18,000 individuals as a fulltime professional guide.

Hiner grew up in Western Michigan, where he began fishing at the age of 4. He soon developed a passion for panfish, bass, pike, walleyes, brook trout, steelhead and salmon.

After high school and the U.S. Army, Hiner moved to Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula in spring of 1975 at the age of 23. Hiner started fishing the world-famous Kenai River, and shortly after went into full-time sport fish guiding. He is still owner/operator of Tim Hiner’s Fishing Alaska as a full-time professional guide today. Hiner has guided on the Kenai river in the Soldotna area almost exclusively with big salmon as his main target, but he is also an expert trout and steelhead fisherman and really enjoys teaching fishing.

For the past 43 years, Hiner has kept a detailed journal for every charter he has ever fished for

every day, week and every year. He has instructed and guided more than 18,000 individuals from all walks of life, from all 50 states, from over 42 foreign countries and all seven continents.

Tim has been active with many associations and has attended many meetings all with the aim of putting more fish in the river for

everyone.

Since 1972 the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum has been the official record-keeping institution for all Fresh Water species of fish. Their headquarters and museum in Hayward, Wisconsin, generates over 60,000 visitors each year to view the many artifacts that display

the history of Sport Fishing.

In 1980, the Hall of Fame began recognizing individuals who had a major impact on the sport of fishing and have paid tribute to over 300 individuals since. For more information: www.freshwater-fishing.org.

4-H — What’s it all about? Reaching millions of kids, that’s what 4-H was established in 1902 and is the nation’s largest youth development organization, reaching almost 6 million young people from ages 5-18 in approximately 90,000 clubs.

4-H serves in rural, urban and suburban communities in every state across our nation with the goal of developing

citizenship, leadership, responsibility and life skills of youth through experiential learning programs and a positive youth approach. 4-H is delivered by Cooperative Extension — a community of more than 100 public universities across the nation that provides experiences where young people learn by doing.

(4-H.org) Because of its origins in the Midwest farmland, 4-H has historically been an organization associated with agriculture. While there is still a large degree of focus on agricultural clubs and projects, in more recent years, 4-H has broadened to include an emphasis on projects and clubs in the areas of STEM,

shooting sports, nature preservation, international exchange and community service. Almost anything a youth member or group of youth is interested in can be incorporated into a 4-H project or 4-H club, and here in Alaska, we have approximately 1,500 youth members with an additional 600 youth from military families.

National 4-H Week this year is Oct. 6-12 and is the time of year when 4-Hers on the Kenai enroll for the upcoming 4-H year.

The new 4-H year starts on Oct. 1. If your youth has been contemplating enrolling in 4-H, now is the perfect time! There are nine active clubs in the Kenai Peninsula District, all of them busy

learning in a large variety of projects. Enrollment is easy at www.alaska4h.org, or you can call or email the Cooperative Extension Office at crankin4@alaska. edu or 262-5824 for more information!

October — a month of justice, rainbow colors and the Hunter’s Moon

By Bonnie Marie Playle

Every third year, October’s Full Moon is the Hunter’s Moon, also, called Blood Moon.

Astrological signs for October: Libra and Scorpio. Birthstones: tourmaline and opal.

Colors: as varied as the rainbow. Flowers: marigold and the cosmos. Bird: swan. Trees: hazelnut, rowan, maple and walnut. Days observed: Columbus Day of Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Halloween. I’ve included six wacky/special days as well.

Libra is the seventh sign in the zodiac. Its symbol is the scales based on the Scales of Justice. The element is Air. The ruling planet is Venus. Libra is symbolized by the gryphon, a mythological creature with the head, wings and talons of an eagle and the hind legs of a lion.

Librans seek equality, harmony and balance. The scales are a symbol of justice. Libra’s symbol is the only symbol in the zodiac that is inanimate (not represented by an animal or person). Scorpio is the eighth sign in the zodiac. Its symbol is the scorpion, the element is Water, the ruling planet is Pluto. Scorpios like truth, facts, being right, longtime friends and teasing. Their strengths are resourcefulness, bravery, being passionate, stubbornness and are true friends.

The birthstones for October are tourmaline — representing wholesome energy. Green tourmaline is the best healing crystal of the physical heart, while pink tourmaline means a love of humanity and humanitarianism. Then there is the Opal meaning precious stone and is viewed as a symbol of hope. It is believed that if you aren’t born in October and wear the opal it will crack. Since both birthstones come in an array of colors, legend has it, they had their start in rainbows.

The month’s colors are as varied as the rainbow, from white through to deep pink.

Since October has varied colors, the rainbow symbolizes hope, which would pretty accurately describe it.

October’s flowers are the marigold — a sign of warm or fierce undying love — and the cosmos, a symbol of order, peace and serenity.

The bird for October is the swan, meaning grace and beauty and is associated with love, music and poetry.

The tree for Oct. 1-3 is the hazelnut tree and is considered the tree of wisdom and learning. Hazelnut people are extraordinary, charming, understanding, moody and honest. Oct. 4-13 is the rowan tree, which is a sensitivity tree. Rowan people are full of charm, cheerful, love life and are emotional. Oct. 14-23 is the maple tree, which symbolizes generosity, balance, promise and practicality. Maple people have independence of mind, pride, good memory and learns easily. Oct. 24-31 is the walnut tree, the symbol for clarity and focus. Walnut people are passionate, aggressive, noble, no flexibility and no compromise.

The first day observed in October is Columbus Day, which is the second Monday of the month, which is the 14th. This is a U.S. Holiday commemorating the landing of Christopher Columbus in the New World on October 12, 1492. It became a federal holiday in 1937. Since Christopher Columbus never set foot in present day United States it was time for a name change, hence Alaska Indigenous Peoples’ Day because they were the first settlers.

The second day observed is Alaska Day, on Oct. 18, which encompasses Alaska Day in Sitka and runs through the 20th.

The last day observed is Oct. 31, Halloween, which is a time of celebration and superstition.

This is a way to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.

So what is there to do in October on the Kenai Peninsula?

Oct. 10 the City of Kenai is hosting TRASHercise to encourage Kenai citizens to get out and exercise while cleaning up the town.

Oct. 12 is the Kenai 4th Annual Fall Pumpkin Festival at

Millennium Square from noon to 3 p.m. This event is fun for the entire family, with a Hay Maze and Pumpkin Painting, also food trucks, scarecrows, music, hay rides, petting zoo, face painting and much more.

This helps people enjoy autumn in preparation for winter.

This is hosted by Kenai Parks, Recreation & Beautification Department.

Oct. 12 Sterling Community Center is hosting Oktoberfest, which includes music, dancing and dinner. Come listen to Alaska Polka Chips play. There will be beers, brats, pork and cider for a nominal fee.

Oct. 19 the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce is hosting the 25th Annual Pie Auction with a Haunted Manor theme. This will be held at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. The purpose of this event is to raise funds for community events and programs.

Oct. 26 in Sterling is the Community Fall Fest Annual Craft and Vendor Fair — get some early Christmas shopping done.

Oct. 27 in Soldotna at the Tsalteshi Ski Trails there will be a Halloween Spook Night event for children 10 and under. A nominal fee is required.

Here is some October trivia as well as Alaska special days: Oct. 9 is Emergency Nurses’ Day. This is a day to appreciate all the emergency room nurses everywhere.

Oct. 10, 1986 in Seward there was record precipitation in a 24-hour time frame of 15.05 inches.

Oct. 6 is Bosses Day, so thanks all the bosses and appreciate them, their jobs aren’t always easy.

Oct. 18, 1867, Russia transferred Alaska to the United States in Sitka. Also, on the 18th in 1966, the Alaska Federation of Natives was organized. The Alaska Federation of Natives is the largest statewide Native organization in Alaska. It’s run by 12 regional nonprofit and tribunal partnerships that run federal and state programs.

178 villages and 13 regional Native corporations makeup its memberships. The headquarters is in Anchorage.

Oct. 24 is United Nations Day, so pray for the United Nations.

Oct. 27, the fourth Sunday of the month, is Mother-In-Law Day, so let her know how much she is appreciated.

On Oct. 28, 1988, international efforts to free two stranded gray whales in Barrow were a success.

On Oct. 29, 1942, the Alaska Highway opened for travel.

Also, on this date in 1958 on Annette Island, the most precipitation in one hour was recorded at 1.05 inches in Alaska.

On Oct. 30, 1983, Alaska combined time zones. When this occurred Alaska had four time zones, now there are two.

In 1983, 98% of the state’s population was in one of these zones — now called Yukon time — which is one hour earlier than Pacific Standard Time (PST) and four hours earlier than the Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Part of the Aleutian Islands west of Juneau observe HawaiiAleutian time zone. So there’s Alaska Standard Time (AKST) and Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HAST).

If you enjoy whale watching, then in October through February the gray whales migrate south.

In October, there are fewer people, but nature is always available — the turning of leaves, animals in rut, shorter days, longer nights and of course the Northern Lights start dancing as temperatures starting dropping.

Before, I mentioned the October moon being the Hunters’ Moon. This is because since the moon is full, it’s good to hunt by. In this month game is fattened and preparing for the coming winter. This is traditionally the time to fill freezers in preparation for winter.

October is also Blood Moon, because the moon has a pinkish tint to it, and the fact hunters are hunting in preparation for winter.

All months in the year in Alaska are spectacular, be safe and enjoy.

Keeping Up With Money

Money Fact-a-roonies

Mini Fact:

• Large denomination, or value, bills, such as $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills, were printed until 1945. Those that were still circulating were removed in 1969.

• U.S. currency is made up of 25% linen and 75% cotton.

• When commercial banks send extra currency to the regional Fed, 15% of the returned bills are destroyed because they’re worn out.

History of the Fed

The idea of a central bank came up again and again during the early days of the United States. Some wanted a central bank to create one currency, or paper money in circulation, for all the If a bank has too much cash states. They thought it would on hand, it sends the extra to the regional Fed bank, help make the where it is counted and stored. economy more secure. Others feared such a bank would give bankers and businesses too much power.

In 1912, President Woodrow Wilson asked for a proposal for a central bank that would divide its powers among different parts of the country. The Federal Reserve Act became law in 1913. It was a compromise, or settlement of *An economy is a country’s system of producing, selling and buying goods and services.

The average life of a $1 bill is 21 months. Can you guess the life spans for these other denominations? Why do you think some bills last longer than others?

A bank’s bank

One way to understand the Fed is to think of it as a “bank’s bank.” A reserve bank stores and distributes currency and coins to commercial banks. (A commercial bank is one that holds accounts for the public and businesses. You may have an account at a commercial bank.)

The source of money

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing supplies the regional reserve banks with paper money. In the United States, our money is called Federal Reserve Notes. These are produced in either Fort Worth, Texas, or Washington, D.C. Coins come from the U.S. Mint. The coins we use are produced in Denver, Philadelphia, San Francisco and West Point, N.Y.

As candidates for president are reminding voters all the time, the health of our nation’s economy* is an important issue. It can also be a hard thing to understand.

This week, The Mini Page takes a look at one aspect of the economy: where money comes from and how banks and the Federal Reserve Bank, or the Fed, manage the flow of it.

Did you know there’s a type of pollution that you can’t see?

It’s noise pollution, and it affects our ears. Sound is measured in units called decibels (DES-uh-bels). The greater the number of decibels, the louder the sound and the more harmful it is to your ears. Start protecting your ears today! How? Turn down the volume on your television, video game, radio and music player. Wear hearing protectors while attending or participating in loud activities. Let a parent know if you are having difficulty hearing. adapted from epa.gov

For later: Look in your newspaper for articles about the economy.

Dad finally writes will and names surprise executor jeanne phillips Dear Abby his executor. Is this normal for people with adult children? I feel my parents are my responsibility to care for as they age. Assigning this duty to my aunt, who will be at least in her 70s when Dad passes, feels like an undue financial and emotional burden on her. Am I allowed to

DEAR DAD'S KEEPER: Subjects like these are often sensitive and difficult to address. However, you are "allowed" to talk to your father about any question you wish. Explain that you always assumed it would be your responsibility to take care of his affairs if he was unable to, and ask him why he chose the person he did to be his executor.

He may not have wanted to burden you with the responsibility or had other reasons for naming his sister

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sunday, Oct. 6, 2019: This year, you find that you land safely no matter what goes on. A serious demeanor does not reveal the authentic you, but you often use that front. The playful personality within delights others. AQUARIUS is your friend.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You use spontaneity and the unexpected to gain within your immediate circle. You welcome change more than others realize. Be gracious in dealing with a loved one or child. At times, you feel this person is excessive. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

This Week: Lead Monday and Tuesday, but cocoon Wednesday and Thursday.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Reach out for someone at a distance who you often do not speak to. You love catching up on news. You express a willingness to adapt plans if need be. Curb a tendency toward excess.

Tonight: Making the most of the night.

This Week: Lay low until Wednesday, when your ability to get what you want skyrockets.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A partner makes an effort and appears to have reevaluated a problem that keeps emerging. You have a tendency to go to extremes, no matter what occurs. Be more open to this person’s suggestions. Tonight: Add spice to your life.

This Week: Your playfulness emerges with friends and in meetings. By Wednesday, others ignore you; they have to get something done.

DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend and I have been together going on two years, and I feel like I want to marry her. I think I could spend the rest of my life with her. I have already asked her father.

Recently she told me she wants to move closer to her family. They live in the middle of nowhere, and the only city close to them has extremely poor job prospects for both of us. As of right now they're a fourhour drive away from us, which I think is a reasonable

To complicate things, I prefer an urban living environment, and that seems not to be an option. My girlfriend says she would be open to moving in the future, but if I'm being honest, that seems unlikely. What can I say to her? — WILLING TO COMPROMISE

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be jammed between several choices and not sure which way to turn. A conversation with a relative or dear friend might suggest which way to go. Ultimately, trust yourself and your intuition. Tonight: Dinner at a favorite spot.

This Week: Jump when it comes to domestic issues and property. Wednesday you experience some calmness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have. Fatigue marks your thoughts, and you might prefer not to make a decision at this moment. Try not to let this reluctance flow into your day. Tonight: It’s OK to indulge a little.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Others value your attention and time. No matter which way you turn, you find someone seeking you out. Be gracious. Enjoy visiting, yet make time for a child or loved one.

unlikely. If you have a child, she will want him or her to know the grandparents, and possibly have help with baby-sitting, etc. Your reason for not wanting to move to the "middle of nowhere" because of the economic sacrifice involved makes sense.

You need to think very carefully about what marriage to her will mean before taking the next step.

And above all, have some serious conversations with her about your feelings. A compromise might be to move nearer to her family, but still in an area where you can both find adequate employment.

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

DEAR ABBY: I am 30 years old, the only child of divorced parents in their late 60s. Neither of them has remarried.

Because of certain family events, I encouraged Dad to create a will four years ago. He never had one because he doesn't have much money or any property to bequeath, but my understanding is that putting things in writing helps immensely when the time comes.

The will Dad finally produced is a cookie cutter one from the internet and not even notarized. But I was most surprised when I saw he had named his sister as

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This year, you’ll find it difficult to be bored.

Underneath whatever you choose to do involving others and finances, a surprise could occur. You couldn’t dream this event up. If single, you meet someone who adds an element of magic and excitement to your life. Know that you don’t need to commit quickly. See how you feel with this person in a year. If you’re attached, you and your partner find your daily life revitalized especially your relationship. Learn to flow more and trust that situations can change quickly. AQUARIUS knows how to add excitement to your life.

HHHH You’re coming from a strong position and unlikely to modify it, especially if finances or emotions are involved. Be careful; before you know it, all could become explosive at the drop of a hat. Tonight: Maintain a strong sense of direction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Defer to others while knowing full well where you’re going with a project. You know what you want to achieve. You also understand that you might have to break away from your conventional, traditional paths. The end results could delight you. Tonight: Toss restrictive thinking.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You count on your friends and associates at work to help you achieve the results that you’re capable of and that you desire. Don’t kid yourself. Once you’re focused, anything and everything is possible. Use your mental prowess.

Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

HHHH Understand where you’re coming from before you leap into action. You might be uncomfortable with what you’re being asked to do, but you’ll do it, just like the good soldier you are. Tonight: Try to avoid fussiness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

hints from heloise Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about taking advantage of the public. — Heloise “Dear Heloise: Recently, I had a repairman out to inspect my heating system, and he came back with an estimate of how much I needed to pay to repair and replace parts. It was a little over $1,200. I said I was going to get a second opinion, which he didn’t like, and he told me the price was good for only 24 hours, then it would go up.

“I got a second opinion, and yes, there were some repairs needed that would cost me about $89. My system is only 6 years old, so I couldn’t imagine how there could be such a high repair bill. Turns out, there was no need to replace so many parts.

“Why do some repair people want to take advantage of a senior citizen or women in general? I know they aren’t all like that, but I’ve encountered too many. Tell your readers to get a second opinion if the price seems too high.” — Tanya L., Ironwood, Mich.

Dear Readers: Here are some additional uses for

Rubes | Leigh Rubin

mayonnaise: ■ Remove sticker residue. Rub in a circular motion.

■ Conditioner: Rub a little on your hair and leave for 30 minutes, then shampoo as usual.

■ Erase water stains on wood by rubbing a small amount on the stain and letting sit overnight, then wiping up with a clean cloth.

■ Rub into cuticles to soften and moisturize them.

— Heloise Dear Readers: A new scam is hitting homes all over America. Your phone rings once or twice and the caller hangs up. It may have a number with your area code on your phone. Whatever you do, DO NOT call back.

These robocalls connect you to an overseas premium-rate number that keeps you on the line with long holds and other tactics, which are designed to increase your phone bill. If you get scammed, call your phone-service provider and ask that the charges be removed. — Heloise

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Monday’s answer, 9-30

HHHH Stay on top of whatever project you’re doing. Your enduring energy is charged by a surprise. Your fiery response could be a little out of whack. Try to tame your knee-jerk reactions.

Tonight: Make time for an older person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You say what you think, but be prepared others respond in a similar manner. A friend could be bellicose and touchy at first but settles in. You might be surprised by yet another person’s chilliness. Tonight: Favorite spot, favorite person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have been. You could have an unexpected realization that floors you. You have some thinking to do, though your inclination might be to start a volley of words. Tonight: Keep to your budget.

Otherwise, you might not like the results.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You beam in more of what you desire. The unexpected happens while you’re at home. You might want to detach and eye a situation from a whole different perspective. Tonight: Respond to your energy levels.
