Online sales tax effort on assembly agenda

By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

Cities and boroughs across the state are joining together in an effort to collect sales taxes from online retailers. At Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting, members will decide if the borough should sign onto the plan, which could result in greater sales tax revenues.

The plan, which is being

administered by the Alaska Municipal League, will create a sales tax commission for the state. The Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission — an intergovernmental entity — will contract MuniRevs, a Colorado-based software company, to collect taxes from online vendors.

The assembly will likely vote on a resolution authorizing the borough to become a member municipality of the commission, according to a Oct. 24

memo to the assembly from borough finance director Brandi Harbaugh and borough deputy attorney Sean Kelley. The resolution also designates a borough representative to the commission.

Online vendors who make least $100,000 in annual sales or 100 annual transactions in Alaska during the current or previous calendar year will collect sales taxes from the buyer based on the shipping address. For

example, residents who are shipping products to their home in Soldotna will be subject to the city’s 6% sales tax when they order online. In areas with no sales tax, like Fairbanks and Anchorage, no sales tax will apply to online orders. Throughout the borough, there is a 3% sales tax, and some cities levy a higher sales tax.

The sales taxes will transfer to the See tax, Page A2

Work on bypass to begin in 2020

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

The Department of Transportation plans to officially begin construction next year on a project that would reroute the Sterling Highway and bypass Cooper Landing to the north.

The Sterling Highway MP 45-60 Project, also known as the Cooper Landing Bypass Project, includes the design and installation of a bridge running across Juneau Creek Canyon that will be the largest bridge in Alaska when completed.

Last Tuesday, officials from DOT and engineering firm HDR Alaska spoke with residents of Cooper Landing to discuss the details of the project design and a time line for construction.

The route for the project — also referred to as the Juneau Creek Alternative — has the highway running north of Cooper Landing and was one of four possible routes discussed in the Environmental Impact Statement for the project. A Record of Decision formally selecting this alternative was announced by the Federal Highway Administration in May of 2018.

During the presentation in Cooper Landing, DOT Project Manager Sean Holland and HDR Senior Vice President Mark Dalton explained how the different phases of construction for the Juneau Creek Alternative will look, as well as estimated costs and timetables for each phase.

Project managers said that they currently have two main priorities for the project: to get “meaningful”

construction completed for phase 1 by the end of 2020, and to have the road finished and open to traffic by 2025.

Phase 1 of the project will address two 2-mile segments of existing highway on either side of Cooper Landing.

Part of the goal of phase 1 is improve current road conditions by adding passing lanes, widening existing lanes and shoulders and straightening

portions of the road, project engineer Matt Stone said on Tuesday.

Design of the west end is expected to be completed by the fall of 2020, and design for the east end has a completion date of spring of 2021.

The eastern end of the project will include a new pedestrian pathway that will connect the Sunrise Inn to Cooper Landing and replace the existing safety path.

The east end of the project will be located between Miles 45 and 47 of the Sterling Highway. Dalton said that the new highway will break off at Mile 46.3, climb the northern hillside and run parallel to Cooper Landing. The proposed bridge across Juneau Creek Canyon will be located just south of Juneau Creek Falls and See bypass, Page A2

Assembly to vote on comprehensive plan

By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly will be voting on the 2019 Comprehensive Plan at its next meeting.

The plan — required by statute — is prepared by the borough’s planning commission and submitted to the assembly as a proposal for the “systematic and organized development of the borough.”

“A comprehensive plan is a policy document created by a community, with a combination of big vision goals and practical short-term strategies,”

the 2019 Comprehensive Plan says.

The borough hasn’t approved a comprehensive plan since 2005, according to the ordinance that would adopt the 2019 plan.

“The social, economic and environmental conditions of the Kenai Peninsula Borough have changed over the past fourteen years,” the ordinance said.

The plan lists a handful of core values the team highlighted, like economic opportunity, freedom with few restraints, rural small-town lifestyles, abundant natural resources, beautiful scenery and wildlife and strong community connections.

The next part of the plan portrays a vision of the Kenai Peninsula’s future, outlining goals for the future, including expanding and diversifying economic opportunities, supporting local food and agriculture industries, balancing economic benefits of tourism with residents’ quality of life, protecting important natural resources, promoting fiscally responsible government and maintaining infrastructure and services.

The rest of the plan goes into detail on making those goals achievable.

The work on the 2019 Comprehensive Plan began back in 2017, when the borough contracted Agnew Beck,

a consulting firm, to facilitate updating the plan. Between 2017 and 2019, more than 2,000 residents of the borough shared their ideas with the project team.

The proposed plan was introduced in a public hearing held by the Kenai peninsula Borough Planning Commission in August. The commission recommended the plan at its Sept. 23 meeting. The Comprehensive Plan will be reviewed periodically and updated to reflect changing conditions, trends, laws and policies of the borough. The borough will vote on the Comprehensive Plan ordinance at the Nov. 5 meeting.

Documents: Manafort pushed Ukraine hack theory

By Eric Tucker, Mike Balsamo and Jonathan Lemire Associated Press

WASHINGTON — During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort pushed the idea that Ukraine, not Russia, was behind the hack of the Democratic National Committee servers, Manafort’s deputy told investigators during the special counsel’s Russia probe. The unsubstantiated theory, advanced by President Donald Trump even after he took office, would later help trigger the impeachment inquiry now

consuming the White House.

Notes from an FBI interview were released Saturday after lawsuits by BuzzFeed News and CNN led to public access to hundreds of pages of documents from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. The documents included summaries of interviews with other figures from the Mueller probe, including Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.

Information related to Ukraine took on renewed interest after calls for impeachment based on efforts by the president and his administration to pressure Ukraine to investigate

Alaska’s STD rates still high, but HIV low

By Ben Hohenstatt Juneau Empire

Alaska’s nation-leading rates of sexually transmitted disease transmission aren’t matched by a high rate of new HIV cases, according to state data.

Alaska had the highest rate of chlamydia in the country, and the second-highest rate of gonorrhea, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s most recent STD surveillance report released in early October. Data from the state’s Section of Epidemiology show 22 new cases of HIV were diagnosed in Alaska last year. That’s low by national standards and typical for Alaska. In 2017, the national rate was 14 cases per 100,000 people.

In Alaska, the rate was 4.8 per 100,000 people.

“We have between 20 and 50 new HIV cases every year, and that has been really consistent the last 10 or 15 years,” said Susan Jones, HIV/STD program manager for the State of Alaska Section of Epidemiology.

Jones said Alaska has typically been considered a “low incidence” state for HIV. There is a known “cluster” of HIV cases in Fairbanks, but Alaska continues to be a state where HIV transmission is relatively uncommon.

Alison Gaines, nurse manager for Juneau Public Health Center, said local trends seem to be in line with state data, which shows low incidence of HIV. “There’s a lot of contributing factors behind that,” Jones said.

One of the main contributors, Jones said, are modern anti-viral medications that can suppress HIV to undetectable levels. Sustained viral suppression means it’s less likely the virus will be transmitted to others.

“If you have sustained, usually about six months worth, of viral suppression, and it stays that way, the risk of you transmitting HIV through sexual contact is zero,” Jones said.

Encouraging treatment to reduce transmission of HIV is the focus of the national U=U (Undetectable Equals Untransmittable)

Campaign, an effort to raise awareness of the connection between viral suppression and reduced risk of transmission.

According to state statistics, 564 of the 699 people in Alaska living with HIV are virally suppressed, and 635 are receiving some sort of medical care.

There’s another reason Alaska can have a history of both low HIV instances and high STD transmission rates.

Jones said while STDs and HIV can be transmitted in the same way, they’re spread among populations with different demographics. That means chlamydia and gonorrhea can be transmitted among distinct “sexual networks” — groups of people linked by a common sexual partner — which helps explain a difference in transmission rates.

She said in Alaska, men who have sex with men, are the primary mode of HIV transmission. According to state data, 55% of Alaska residents with HIV — 386 of 699 total — are men who have sex with men, and 75% — 524

of 699 — are men.

As a comparison, 64% of chlamydia cases reported to the Section of Epidemiology — 3,975 of 6,173 — were in women.

While HIV and STD rates are different, they’re not totally unrelated. Gaines said those who contract a STD are more likely to be HIV positive.

Jones said there are some tools people who engage in risky behavior, such as having multiple, relatively anonymous sexual partners, or using intravenous drugs, have at their disposal to limit risk of contracting HIV. Those include using some sort of latex barrier when engaging in sexual behavior and using clean needles if injecting drugs.

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is another tool, Jones said.

PrEP is a pill taken daily that can protect people from HIV. “The medication is really pretty easy to take every day,” Jones said. “The side effects are quite minimal.”

However, she said it may not be easy to get for people without

insurance.

In order to be taking PrEP, a person must test negative for HIV and be tested every three months to ensure they’re still negative.

Without insurance, Jones said that can be cost prohibitive, even with assistance programs that can subsidize the cost of the medication.

Regular testing is a good idea for people who may be at risk for HIV or STDs regardless of whether they wish to obtain PrEP, Jones and Gaines said.

A history of negative tests followed by a positive test can help determine when HIV was contracted and help get people appropriate care, Jones said.

“It helps us in public health to know when your last negative test was,” she said.

Agency can’t fund repairs on 2 vessels; service canceled

By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

The Alaska Marine Highway System doesn’t have enough funds to complete repairs on two of its vessels scheduled for work, a press release from the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities said Friday.

Because it is not yet clear which vessels will be suitable to sail, AMHS announced that Angoon, Tenakee, Pelican and Gustavus will receive no service beginning Oct. 31. Haines and Skagway will receive service once per week and Hoonah will receive service twice per month, the release said.

“AMHS is exploring possible alternatives to continue service while the LeConte and Aurora are offline,” according to the release.

The 44-year-old M/V LeConte was scheduled to undergo $1.5 million in repairs, but after extensive investigation of the ship’s hull, the total repair cost rose to around $4 million, according to AMHS. Work is currently stopped on the LeConte.

At the same time, the M/V Aurora is scheduled for repairs at the Vigor dry-dock in Ketchikan. What repairs the Aurora will need are not yet known, but AMHS has said that it doesn’t have the money to complete repairs on both vessels. DOT said that it will complete repairs on whichever vessel is cheaper. Estimates for repairs to the Aurora will be available Nov. 15, DOT said.

have a 200-foot rise, Dalton said.

Bridge design and construction is part of phase 2 and is not expected to begin until 2021.

As part of construction, a new pullout for traffic will be installed

“It’s not good news,” said Angoon Mayor Joshua Bowen Sr. “We rely on that ferry for just about everything.”

Bowen told the Empire by phone Friday that Angoon is not equipped for “planes with wheels,” and the only air freight that could be flown in was via floatplane. There are other options, Bowen said, but they’re “extremely, extremely expensive.”

There was a truck going for supplies on the ferry every week, Bowen said. Community members were currently working on finding a viable option.

“We’re putting together a plan to pool our resources to see if we can come up with a way to get supplies,” Bowen said.

Bowen suggested that DOT allow private sector boat operators to use the ferry terminal to make deliveries. Angoon has a ferry dock but only AMHS ships are allowed to use it, Bowen said.

Pelican Mayor Walt Weller was similarly concerned at what the lack of ferry services would do to the cost of living in the small Southeast community.

“The beauty of the ferry was you could put 500 pounds or 5,000 pounds,” Weller told the Empire Friday. “With a barge you need about 10,000. We’re just not that big of a community.”

Weller said he had spoken to community members about getting private boats to haul supplies, mainly from Juneau.

“I’ve got two-and-a-half tons of board planks that will need to be carried over

east of Juneau Creek. Two trail crossings will also be put in place under the new highway, one for Slaughter Gulch Trail and another for Bean Creek and Resurrection Pass Trail, and a new trailhead for Resurrection Pass will be installed to create a loop in the trail system.

As the new highway moves west, it will reconnect with the old Sterling Highway at Mile 55.8. The

plank-by-plank,” he said. Pelican has an extensive boardwalk which needs repairs.

The shipment of planks is on its way to Juneau, Weller said, and would have arrived on the next ferry voyage.

“We’ll do what we can with airplanes and hope that private industry fills the void,” Weller said.

The news follows the Oct. 28, announcement that the M/V Malaspina would be ending service in December. DOT spokesperson Meadow Bailey told the Empire

west end of phase 1 construction will consist of everything past that connection from Mile 56 to Mile 58. Construction on the west end will include replacing two existing vehicle pullout and parking areas, installing two wildlife under-crossings, and installing a new trailhead for the Fuller Lakes Trail.

1-of-a-kind icebreaker visits Juneau on way home

By Michael S. Lockett Juneau Empire

JUNEAU — The USCGC Healy visited Juneau, mooring downtown Oct. 27 on its way home to its homeport in Seattle.

The Coast Guard’s only medium icebreaker, the Healy has been conducting scientific research in the Arctic with researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the University of Washington, said Ensign Trevor Layman, the Healy’s public affairs officer.

“We’re a completely unique United States Coast Guard vessel,” Layman said. Healy is the only one of its class, a modern medium icebreaker built from the hull out to support science missions in the Arctic Ocean.

The Coast Guard’s other icebreaker, Polar Star, is a heavy icebreaker, and mostly supports keeping shipping channels open in the Antarctic, Layman said.

The Coast Guard is looking to enhance its ability to operate in the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice with the construction of three medium and three heavy icebreakers called Polar Security Cutters in a recently awarded contract.

The United States military currently has no other seagoing icebreakers.

“If we lose the Polar Star, we lose the power to break ice in the Antarctic,” Layman said.

“America’s icebreaking capability is pretty tenuous right now, so we’ll see how things change.”

The vessel can generate more than 35,000 horsepower

representing a district in Anchorage, was the second nominee sent by Dunleavy to Senate Republicans for consideration for the seat. Senate Republicans earlier rejected Dunleavy’s nomination of Anchorage Republican Rep. Laddie Shaw.

Revak will hold the Senate seat pending a November 2020 election.

“I am deeply humbled by this opportunity to continue serving my neighbors in District M and the State of Alaska in the State Senate,” Revak said in a statement. “I want to thank the Governor for nominating me. I appreciate the time my new Senate colleagues took in considering my confirmation and I look forward to working with them.”

Dunleavy praised the move.

“Josh has dedicated his life to service of our nation and state - he joined the U.S. Army shortly after 9-11 and served tours of duty in Iraq where he was severely wounded,” he said in a statement. “He has worked for members of our Congressional Delegation on veterans issues, and he has proudly served the constituents of House District 25. I have all the confidence that Senator Revak will serve his district in the same fashion he has served our country and state.”

Senate President Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, said Revak will be a good colleague. “Josh knows how to bring folks together, from across the political spectrum, and find real solutions that work for Alaska,” she said in a statement.

The law states that the person nominated by the governor shall be a member of the same political party as the predecessor.

a Manafort business associate who had also speculated that the hack could have been carried out by Russian operatives in Ukraine. U.S. authorities have assessed that Kilimnik, who was also charged in Mueller’s investigation, has ties to Russian intelligence. American intelligence agencies have determined that Russia was behind the hack, and Mueller’s team indicted 12 Russian agents in connection with the intrusion.

Traditionally, political parties send a list of nominees to the governor when a vacancy is created. Shaw was on that original list. Revak was not.

Revak’s appointment to the seat will create an opening in the House for which an appointment will need to be made.

Attorney cites concern with proposal for ethics complaints JUNEAU — Proposed rules that would allow the Alaska Department of Law to represent the governor, lieutenant governor or attorney general against ethics complaints may violate provisions of law and the state constitution, according to a legislative attorney.

In a memo, legislative attorney Daniel Wayne wrote the proposal may not serve a public purpose, as required by the state constitution, KTOO Public Media in Juneau reported.

Wayne wrote the constitution bars the executive branch from adopting regulations unless a state law allows it. The law doesn’t allow it in this case, he said.

He also said the proposal would unconstitutionally provide protections to some state officers but not others.

The memo was requested by Democratic Sen. Bill Wielechowski, who with Republican Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux and Democratic Rep. Andy Josephson sent Attorney General Kevin Clarkson a letter expressing concerns.

The department has proposed rules that would allow it to defend the governor or lieutenant governor against ethics complaints if the attorney general determines the representation is in the public interest.

The department could defend the attorney general against an ethics complaint if the

Gates also said the campaign believed that Michael Flynn, who later became Trump’s first national security adviser, would be in the best position to obtain Hillary Clinton’s missing emails because of his Russia connections. Flynn said he could use his intelligence sources to obtain the emails and was “adamant that Russians did not carry out the hack” because he believed that the U.S. intelligence community couldn’t have figured out the source, according to the agent’s notes. Flynn later pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the

Russian ambassador.

Mueller’s investigation concluded in March with a report that found insufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign to sway the 2016 presidential election. The report also examined multiple episodes in which Trump sought to seize control of the Russia probe but did not conclude one way or the other about whether the president had illegally obstructed justice. Attorney General William Barr ultimately concluded that the president had not committed a crime.

Gates worked with Manafort in a lucrative international political consulting business that included Ukraine and later testified against him. Gates pleaded guilty last year in Mueller’s

maneuvers and ice operations.

“The single biggest thing is the shape of the hull,” Layman said.

The hull is designed to ride up on pack ice and use the ship’s weight and forward motion to break through.

The Healy uses this to accommodate the 50 scientists on board as they carry out a number of scientific missions in the Arctic, including biological, meteorological and oceanographic research, Layman said.

The science is focused on two main missions, Layman said: biological research in open water, and monitoring the ice itself.

“Our bread and butter is monitoring how the ice is melting,” Layman said. “Healy has a bunch of science sensors that have multiplied over time.”

governor determines doing so is in the public interest, under the proposal. Information received by the department in defense of such complaints would be considered confidential.

The deadline for public comment on the proposal is Monday. The Department of Law isn’t responding to comments while the comment period is open.

Senate leaders pan attorney general’s local hire opinion ANCHORAGE — Alaska’s attorney general violated the state constitution by not defending a law that encourages construction firms to use Alaska workers on state contracts, according to leaders of the state Senate majority and minority.

Senate President Cathy Giessel, an Anchorage Republican, and Senate Minority Leader Tom Begich, an Anchorage Democrat, criticized Attorney General Kevin Clarkson in separate letters for his actions on a local hire challenge, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

In response, Clarkson said he took an oath to defend the U.S. and Alaska constitutions.

The law violates those constitutions, he said, and it makes sense to stop enforcing it.

“I didn’t take an oath to promise to defend every law the Legislature passes no matter how unconstitutional it is,” he said.

Hiring laws that give Alaskans a preference over workers who earn high wages and fly home to other states have been an issue for decades.

Alaska’s local-hire law at the time of its passage was believed to be in accordance with the law and has remained in force for 30 years without challenge until this year. It has been backed by Republican and Democratic

investigation and has been one of the government’s key cooperators. He has yet to be sentenced as he continues working with investigators.

Manafort was sentenced to more than seven years in prison, in part for financial crimes arising from his Ukraine work.

During his interviews with investigators, Gates said that Donald Trump Jr. would ask where the hacked emails were during family meetings in the summer of 2016.

Gates recalled that other key campaign aides, including future Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and Flynn, also “expressed interest in obtaining the emails as well,” according to an agent’s written summary of one interview. The identity of one of the people who expressed interest in the emails is

The scientists have returned home already, Layman said, flying out of Dutch Harbor with their data while the ship returns to Seattle with the equipment where it can be more easily offloaded.

Healy is also capable of supporting other missions, including flight operations, search and rescue, and even vessel interdiction, although without a combat information center, Layman said, it’s most effective as a scientific research vessel. The Coast Guard would use its MH-60 Jayhawk helicopters to resupply the Healy roughly once a week while underway, Layman said.

The Healy will return to its homeport in Seattle as this year’s three-month deployment ends.

state administrations.

In July, a southeast Alaska construction company, SECON, sued and said the law was unconstitutional. The company challenged fines the state had imposed.

The Alaska Department of Law decided to settle. State attorneys canceled some of the fines and Clarkson agreed to write a legal opinion about the constitutionality of the law.

The opinion said existing Alaska local-hire law is unconstitutional and should not be defended.

Legislators objected and said Clarkson should defend state law until a judge renders a verdict.

“Your ad hoc determination that the laws of our land, which remain untested in the courts, are unconstitutional is a diversion into the lawmaking field that is rightfully the purview of this branch of government,” Giessel wrote Oct. 22.

A letter by Begich, and co-signed by Democratic Sen. Bill Wielechowski of Anchorage, said the attorney general’s failure to enforce Alaska hire appeared to violate his statutory duties.

“You don’t get to be judge, jury and executioner,” Wielechowski said. “It’s your job to defend the laws of the state of Alaska.”

In an attachment to the WielechowskiBegich letter, legislative attorney Daniel Wayne said the local-hire law may be unconstitutional, but “because of the separation of powers doctrine, it is the province of the court, not the executive or legislative branch, to declare that a law is unconstitutional.”

Clarkson said if legislators want to encourage local hire, they can offer job-training programs and financial incentives for companies who hire Alaskans.

One time on the campaign aircraft, Gates told the FBI, candidate Trump said “get the emails.” Gates also said that another point, Trump told him that more leaks were coming, though the heavily redacted documents do not indicate how Trump knew that.

Gates also described conversations with the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, who later entered the White House as the first chief of staff. Gates described the RNC as energized by the emails and said that though Trump and Kushner were initially skeptical about cooperating with the RNC, “the WikiLeaks issue was a turning point,” the FBI notes show. WikiLeaks was the website that published the stolen emails in the weeks before the election.

The campaign was also very pleased by the releases, though Trump was advised not to react to it but rather to let it all play out, according to the interview summaries.

The RNC would put out press releases to amplify the emails’ release, Gates told the FBI. “The RNC also indicated they knew the timing of the upcoming releases,”

though Gates didn’t specify who at the RNC had that information. “Gates said the only non-public information the RNC had was related to the timing of the releases.”

Manafort, meanwhile, was trying to advise the Trump campaign even after severing ties with the campaign, causing alarm among some of the candidate’s most senior advisers.

Manafort emailed Kushner, on Nov. 5, 2016, just days before the election, saying he was feeling good about the prospect of a Trump presidency. In the email, Manafort said he was “focusing on preserving the victory” and that he had sent a memo to Priebus and had briefed Gates and Fox News host Sean Hannity, a close Trump ally.

Kushner sent Manafort’s email to Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who replied: “we need to avoid this guy like the plague.”

“They are going to try and say the Russians worked with wiki leaks to give this victory to us,” Bannon wrote to Kushner and David Bossie, another Trump associate, in his reply. “Paul is nice guy but can’t let word get out he is advising us.”

What others say

Climate change is now

alifornia is in a state of emergency.

Since early October, millions of people in the northern and southern parts of the state have had their electricity shut off to prevent downed power lines from setting off deadly fires, like the ones that ravaged the state last year. But these unprecedented outages haven’t been as effective as had been hoped; despite them, a series of wildfires, fanned by extraordinarily heavy winds, have swept through the state forcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes.

Nobody can honestly say this is a surprise, given the devastating fires of recent years. Yet it feels surprising all the same. How did things get so bad in California, so quickly?

The answer is climate change. It is here and our communities are not ready for it.

California is no stranger to fire, especially when the dry Santa Ana winds sweep through the southern end of the state, turning sparks into conflagrations. However, countless researchers and government reports have warned for years that climate change would amplify natural variations in the weather, leading to more frequent and more destructive wildfires.

It’s clear that conditions are getting worse throughout the state. Five of California’s 20 deadliest wildfires have occurred during the last two years. And 10 of the 20 most destructive wildfires, in terms of structures lost, occurred over the last 10 years.

And it’s also woefully apparent that the state’s infrastructure cannot handle this new normal. The power outages left many regions without cellular service, emergency information, traffic lights or the other essentials of a modern, functioning community. Roads clogged as people tried to evacuate. And the fires have proved again and again that even homes and commercial areas in suburban-style neighborhoods seemingly far from forests or chaparral can be torched by embers carried for miles by hurricane-force winds.

California has to retrofit itself to make communities more resistant to wildfires. That will mean, for example, making sure buildings are fire resistant and burying power lines in high-fire-risk areas when feasible and developing microgrids that can provide backup power. It will be extraordinarily expensive and politically fraught, but it’s essential to protect lives and control the chaos created by the growing fire threat.

But the wildfires are just the beginning of what Californians can expect. We know what’s coming as the effects of climate change became more pronounced. The state will have to contend with more floods, coastal erosion and deadly heat waves. Intense weather will overwhelm existing public and private infrastructure unless we adapt now and build more resilient communities.

California has been a leader in trying to slow climate change by cutting greenhouse gas emissions. That is still essential work because there’s still time to avoid some of the worst effects of global warming.

Climate change is at our doorstep in California. The rest of the world should be paying attention.

In times of change, Homer community endures

s Homer eases from fall into winter, we expect transformation: the shortening of daylight hours, falling temperatures, the migration of birds south, and the final harvest from gardens. This summer has seen dramatic changes locally and statewide that challenge our stability and resilience as a community.

Consider these transitions: • After 34 years, the Homer Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center ended its Jackpot Halibut Derby; • A tumultuous Alaska Legislature ended with less-drastic, but still severe, budget cuts to many state programs, including the University of Alaska and the Alaska Marine Highway System; • Disenchantment with Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s leadership led to a movement to recall him after less than a year in office; • The Kachemak Bay Campus suspended for a year the Kachemak Bay Writers’ Conference; • Homer voters approved a ban on retailers providing single-use plastic bags, shot down an increase in the Kenai Peninsula Borough sales tax cap, and elected two new Homer City Council members over two incumbents running for re-election; • The council also investigated and affirmed the residency of one new council member, Storm HansenCavasos, after questions rose about whether she met the 1-year residency requirement; • Kenai Peninsula Borough teachers and staff almost held a strike that came close to shutting down schools and was resolved at the last minute;

• Two longtime restaurants, Café Cups and Fresh Sourdough Express, closed; and • Another longtime business, The Homer Tribune, published its last issue on Oct. 3.

On top of that, institutions saw leadership changes at South Peninsula Hospital, KBBI Public Radio, the Pratt Museum, the Homer Council on the Arts and the Kachemak Bay Campus. In our daily lives, many of us went through new marriages, divorces, job changes, births, deaths and illness — the cycle of change that has more personal and profound impact than anything happening at city hall.

It would be a fallacy to say that an event connected in time to another caused that event. Sometimes change can be coincidental. Sometimes, though, an atmosphere of uncertainty can lead to greater uncertainty.

People desire security and stability. Instability can lead to abrupt and frequent change.

We create all the institutions of civilization — good government, education, arts and music, religion, stable infrastructure, a reliable banking system, and consistent agriculture — to temper expected changes.

Humans gather together for mutual support and security. Family units of several generations rally around the weak, the sick and the young, so that we may grow up healthy and age — and die — with dignity. Families create communities and communities create nations.

So in a time of uncertainty, what can we do? There’s an old Samurai

saying that goes, “Expect nothing; prepare for anything.” Taken too far, that can lead to prepper paranoia, where someone so expects chaos they forget to enjoy life. Still, it’s prudent to plan ahead. Keep a threeday supply of food and water at hand.

Stock up on firewood. Pack a go-bag.

In politics, look to leaders who balance necessary social change with stability. Will abrupt cuts to budgets or erratic tariffs lead to a disruption in business? Will changes in the philosophy of government cause chaos in social services? Bold new ideas have often advanced civilization and ended centuries of injustice, but they also can have the opposite effect.

Here on the lower Kenai Peninsula, we’re lucky to have a resilient community. We have a tradition of caring, of people going out on a rainy weekend to search for a lost woman. We do not drive by a car in the ditch, and instead stop to give them a tow or make sure they’re OK. We give generously to nonprofits and churches. We volunteer at hundreds of events. We put aside our differences to lift people up and not tear them down.

In this time of change, all our little villages will endure. That’s the Alaska way, an ethic rooted in millennia of Native tradition and passed on to new Alaskans. The lesson of the darkening winter arrives on the Solstice, a holy time for many faiths. That is when the light grows stronger.

Let that light shine in our community, and we will emerge better, stronger and healthier.

Analysis: In hyperpartisan era, Trump’s GOP support is solid

By Lisa Mascaro Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The more concrete the testimony in the impeachment inquiry, the more solidly Republicans are sticking with President Donald Trump.

Witness after witness in closed-door House hearings is corroborating the core facts that Democrats say make a strong case against the president.

Trump pressured Ukraine, an American ally, for an investigation of Joe Biden, his family and the Democrats. At the same time, the Trump administration withheld military assistance for the young democracy as it confronted Russian aggression.

For Democrats, it adds up to a nothing short of a brazen abuse of power, a quid pro quo, swapping U.S. foreign policy and funds for personal political gain.

“I don’t think there is any justifying this president’s misconduct,” Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee leading the inquiry said in an interview.

Republicans are having none of it. Trump says it’s all just a “witch hunt,” and his supporters agree.

“The American people see this for what it is,” said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the Oversight committee that’s part of the inquiry. “We see it just like the American people do, and we know — we just know — it’s wrong.”

While that investigation unfolds in the basement of the Capitol, another version plays out upstairs for the public.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gaveled a

vote this week to formalize the impeachment inquiry, and the roll call split along predictable party lines.

Not a single Republican joined Democrats to agree to investigate. Among the Democrats, all but two stuck together to support the inquiry.

In previous modern-era impeachment proceedings, at least some lawmakers crossed party lines to initially provide bipartisan support for the probes of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.

But times are different now. The polarizing of the country plays out in almost all aspects of political life. Impeachment proceedings, so far, are only reflecting that divide, in Congress as in the country at large.

More Americans approve than disapprove of the impeachment inquiry, 47% to 38%, according to a new poll by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. But it all depends on whom you ask.

The vast majority of Democrats approve of the inquiry, 68% of them strongly. Most Republicans disapprove, 67% strongly.

Neither Trump nor Republicans in Congress dispute the White House’s rough transcript of Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

They say it proves the president did nothing wrong.

Standing before a portrait of George Washington after the House vote, the GOP leader, Kevin McCarthy of California, quoted Pelosi from earlier this year saying impeachment was “so divisive for the

country” she’d rather not pursue it unless it was completely necessary.

“What has changed?” McCarthy asked.

“In all the hearings there’s nothing compelling, nothing overwhelming.” He said it’s a “sham that has been putting the country through this nightmare.”

Pelosi, in an interview Friday with Bloomberg News, said it was the phone call between Trump and the Ukrainian president that “changed everything in the public mind.”

Pelosi launched the impeachment inquiry after a government whistleblower recounted that Trump in the call asked Zelenskiy for “a favor.”

Trump insists the conversation was “perfect.”

Julian Zelizer, a professor at Princeton University, said partisanship is greater than it was during Watergate and “the loyalty to party even greater.”

Thus, there isn’t likely to be any group of Republican lawmakers heading to the White House to tell the president it’s over, as happened during the impeachment proceedings against Nixon. No march of Republicans to say that support for Trump has dwindled and they can no longer protect him.

As for this week’s solid House support, Schiff said, “I think it’s a vote they will come to regret over time.”

“And I think when their children and grandchildren ask what they did to stand up to this unethical president … they will have a hard time explaining why they chose to defend him.”

It’s specifically illegal to seek or receive foreign assistance in U.S. elections. But the framers of the Constitution drafted the impeachment clause more broadly, capturing all level of “high crimes and misdemeanors” that could be committed in the White House.

While the first president, Washington, was seen as a leader beyond reproach, the founders knew not all who followed might be.

There could be those who sought to use the office for personal financial gain or to rule the country more like the monarchy the founders were leaving than the democracy the U.S. was becoming. And so they tucked in the impeachment provision as part of the simple, but powerful, system of checks and balances among the three branches of government.

The system depends on an agreement not only of the facts but of what the facts mean.

Zelizer, who favors impeachment, says that back in 1974, “nobody would have expected Republicans” to go to the White House as they did to pressure Nixon to resign.

But once the evidence spilled out about what Nixon said in his taped recordings, the situation became indefensible for Republicans. It’s hard not to wonder if that would ever happen again.

So far in this era of intense partisanship, Republicans are rock solid in supporting Trump. House investigators are now preparing to push the impeachment hearings into the open.

Trump’s health insurance rule for immigrants blocked Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — A federal judge in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday put on hold a Trump administration rule requiring immigrants prove they will have health insurance or can pay for medical care before they can get visas.

U.S. District Judge Michael Simon granted a temporary restraining order that prevents the rule from going into effect Sunday. It’s not clear when he will rule on the merits of the case.

Seven U.S. citizens and a nonprofit organization filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday contending the rule

would block nearly twothirds of all prospective legal immigrants.

The lawsuit also said the rule would greatly reduce or eliminate the number of immigrants who enter the United States with family sponsored visas.

“We’re very grateful that the court recognized the need to block the health care ban immediately,” says Justice Action Center senior litigator Esther Sung, who argued at Saturday’s hearing on behalf of the plaintiffs.

“The ban would separate families and cut two-thirds of green-card-based immigration starting tonight, were the ban not stopped.”

The proclamation signed

by President Donald Trump in early October applies to people seeking immigrant visas from abroad — not those in the U.S. already. It does not affect lawful permanent residents. It does not apply to asylum-seekers, refugees or children.

The proclamation says immigrants will be barred from entering the country unless they are to be covered by health insurance within 30 days of entering or have enough financial resources to pay for any medical costs.

The rule is the Trump administration’s latest effort to limit immigrant access to public programs while trying

to move the country away from a family based immigration system to a merit-based system.

The White House said in a statement at the time the proclamation was issued that too many non-citizens were taking advantage of the country’s “generous public health programs,” and said immigrants contribute to the problem of “uncompensated health care costs.”

Under the government’s visa rule, the required insurance can be bought individually or provided by an employer and it can be short-term coverage or catastrophic.

Medicaid doesn’t count,

and an immigrant can’t get a visa if using the Affordable Care Act’s subsidies when buying insurance. The federal government pays for those subsidies.

According to the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan immigration think tank, 57% of U.S. immigrants had private health insurance in 2017, compared with 69% of U.S.-born, and 30% had public health insurance coverage, compared with 36% of native-born.

The uninsured rate for immigrants dropped from 32% to 20% from 2013 to 2017, since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, according to Migration Policy.

There are about 1.1 million people who obtain green cards each year.

“Countless thousands across the country can breathe a sigh of relief today because the court recognized the urgent and irreparable harm that would have been inflicted” without the hold, said Jesse Bless, director of federal litigation at the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Earlier this year, the administration made sweeping changes to regulations that would deny green cards to immigrants who use some forms of public assistance, but the courts have blocked that measure.

Crews make progress on large Southern California fire

By John Antczak Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Authorities lifted evacuation orders for a farm community Saturday as firefighters make progress on a large wildfire in Southern California that continues to threaten about 2,500 homes and buildings.

Ventura County officials allowed an unknown number of residents in Somis to return home Saturday morning after firefighters contained 20% of the Maria Fire, which has burned nearly 15 square miles nd forced nearly 11,000 people to evacuate.

While fire activity subsided overnight, winds and skincracking low humidity were expected to enter their fourth day Saturday and make

another difficult day for firefighters. Moreover, an unexpected area of clouds moved in from the south, threatening to bring lightning strikes and wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph over the region, the National Weather Service said.

Police in Santa Monica urged beachgoers to seek shelter indoors after lightning was reported over the city.

Crews battled to keep the flames away from orchards and farms in the rural area. Three buildings were destroyed.

The fire erupted on a hilltop northwest of Los Angeles on Thursday during what had been expected to be the tail end of gusty Santa Ana winds.

The cause was under investigation but there was

a troubling possibility that an electrical line might have been involved — as such lines have been at other recent fires.

Southern California Edison said Friday that it re-energized a 16,000-volt power line 13 minutes before the fire erupted in the same area.

Edison and other utilities up and down the state shut off power to hundreds of thousands of people this week out of concerns that high winds could cause power lines to spark and start fires.

SCE will cooperate with investigators, the utility said.

In Northern California, more people were allowed to return to areas evacuated due to the huge Kincade Fire burning for days in

the Sonoma County wine country.

The 121-square-mile fire was 72% contained, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.

The tally of destroyed homes reached 175 and there were 35 more damaged, Cal Fire said. Many other structures also burned.

Historic, dry winds prompted the state’s largest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., to initiate four rounds of widespread pre-emptive shut-offs in Northern California this month to prevent wildfires.

But the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District pegged the utility’s equipment as the cause of three smaller fires that cropped up Oct. 27 in the San

Airbnb bans ‘party houses’ after California shooting kills 5

By Stefanie Dazio and Daisy Nguyen Associated Press

ORINDA, Calif. — Airbnb’s CEO said the company was taking actions against unauthorized parties in the wake of a deadly shooting at a Halloween party held at an Airbnb rental home in California.

In a series of tweets, Brian Chesky said Saturday the San Francisco-based company is

expanding manual screening of “high risk” reservations and will remove guests who fail to comply with policies banning parties at Airbnb rental homes.

He also said the company is forming a “rapid response team” when complaints of unauthorized parties come in.

“We must do better, and we will. This is unacceptable,” he tweeted.

Five people died after a Thursday night shooting that

sent some 100 terrified partygoers running for their lives in the San Francisco suburb of Orinda.

The four-bedroom home had been rented on Airbnb by a woman who told the owner her dozen family members had asthma and needed to escape smoke from a wildfire, the person with knowledge of the transaction told The Associated Press. A fire burning in Sonoma County about 60 miles north of Orinda earlier

in the week fouled the air over a wide area.

The owner was suspicious of a one-night rental on Halloween and before agreeing reminded the renter that no parties were allowed, said the person with knowledge of the transaction, who was not authorized to publicly disclose the information and spoke only on condition

of anonymity.

The owner, Michael Wang, said his wife reached out to the renter Thursday night after neighbors contacted them about the party. The renter said there were only a dozen people at the home but Wang said he could see more people on video from his doorbell camera.

“We called the police. They

were on the way to go there to stop them, but before we got there the neighbor already sent us a message saying there was a shooting,” he told the Chronicle.

No arrests had been made and there was no immediate word on a motive for the attack. Two guns were found at the property, authorities said.

Blast in town held by Turkey-backed gunmen kills 13

By Zeynep Bilginsoy and Bassem Mroue Associated Press

ISTANBUL — A car bomb exploded in a northern Syrian town along the border with Turkey on Saturday killing 13 people, Turkey’s Defense Ministry said.

The ministry said about 20 others were wounded when the bomb exploded in central Tal Abyad, which was captured last month by Turkey-backed opposition gunmen from Kurdish-led fighters.

The ministry blamed Syrian Kurdish fighters for the attack, saying it harshly condemns it and called on the international community to take a stance against this “cruel terror organization.”

A spokesman for the main Kurdish-led force in Syria, Mustafa Bali, blamed Turkey for the blast, saying Turkey

and the Syrian fighters it backs “are now creating chaos” in Tal Abyad to displace the Kurds who live in the town.

“Turkey is responsible for civilian casualties in the region it controls,” Bali tweeted.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Turkey last month invaded northeastern Syria to push out Syrian Kurdish fighters, who it considers terrorists for their links to a Kurdish insurgency inside Turkey.

Earlier on Saturday, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said Christian fighters will now oversee security in a northern Syrian region that has witnessed fighting between Turkeybacked troops and Kurdishled militiamen.

The SDF said the deployment will take place in villages close to the town of Tal Tamr in the Khabur river region.

That area is home to Syria’s dwindling Christian Syriac and Assyrian communities.

Turkish-backed fighters have been advancing in northern Syria since last month, leading to the displacement of about 200,000 people. There have been concerns in Christian villages about possible atrocities by Turkey-backed fighters, which include former jihadists.

The SDF said it’s deploying the Syriac Military Council and Assyrian fighters in the Khabur river region. Both groups are part of the SDF. The announcement came a day after Turkey and Russia launched joint patrols in northeastern Syria, under a deal that halted a Turkish offensive against Syrian Kurdish fighters who were forced to withdraw from the border area following Ankara’s incursion.

Malian government says 54 dead in jihadist attack on army

By Baba Ahmed Associated Press

BAMAKO, Mali — Jihadists attacked the Malian military near the border with Niger, leaving at least 53 soldiers and one civilian dead, in the second major assault against the country’s armed forces in a month, the government said Saturday.

The latest violence to target Mali’s armed forces took place Friday in Indelimane, located in Mali’s volatile Menaka region.

“Reinforcements have been sent to the scene and the situation is under control with the support of the French military, which is helping to evacuate the wounded,” government spokesman Yaya Sangare told The Associated Press.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, though jihadists with links to the Islamic State group are active in the area. The assailants were believed to have fled toward the border with Niger, Sangare said.

The new violence is likely

to further raise tensions in the capital, Bamako, where military families have already protested in the streets. They say that soldiers are not being given the resources on the ground that they need to confront an array of jihadist groups.

Friday’s violence occureed a month after 41 soldiers were killed and 20 others went missing during two attacks on Malian soldiers taking part in a regional counterterrorism force.

SERVING THE KENAI PENINSULA SINCE 1979

Though the truce has mostly held, it has been marred by accusations of violations from both sides and occasional clashes. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to resume the offensive if deemed necessary.

But the U.S. had partnered with the Syrian Kurdish fighters, their top allies in the war against the Islamic State group. The relationship has strained ties between Washington and Ankara who are NATO allies.

After an abrupt and widely criticized decision by President Donald Trump to withdraw American troops from this part of Syria, the Kurdish forces approached the Syrian government and Russia for protection. Syrian government troops and Russian military police subsequently moved into areas along the border.

Christians made up about

10 percent of Syria’s pre-war population of 23 million, who co-existed with the Muslim majority and enjoyed freedom of worship under President Bashar Assad’s government. Most have left for Europe over the past 20 years, with their flight significantly gathering speed since the start of the current conflict.

Fracking halted ahead of UK election; some want permanent ban

By Gregory Katz Associated Press

LONDON — The British government announced Saturday that it will no longer allow fracking because of new scientific analysis that casts doubts on the safety of the controversial practice, but some critics called the action an election stunt and demanded a permanent ban.

The government said the decision was based on a finding by the Oil and Gas Authority that it is not possible to clearly predict the likelihood or severity of earthquakes linked to fracking operations.

The decision to announce a moratorium on fracking means the government will no longer support its use of for shale gas extraction and planning proposals with fracking will not be moved forward.

Business and Energy Secretary Andrea Leadsom said the new scientific report makes clear that the government cannot rule out future “unacceptable impacts” on local communities where fracking is allowed.

“For this reason, I have concluded that we should put a moratorium on fracking in England with immediate effect,” she said.

The government’s new position was announced at the start of what is expected to be a hard-fought campaign ahead of a Dec. 12 national election. There have been considerable protests against fracking in recent years.

The announcement drew praise from local activists and environmental groups although some called for a permanent ban on the practice, not just a halt in the approval process.

Activist Maureen Mills from the Halsall Against Fracking group, said the decision was welcome because fracking had taken an “immeasurable” toll on her region of northwestern England.

“Our communities are left physically and mentally drained and devastated.

For what? Years of anguish, research, protest, tears and fears,” she said. “Stopping this industry has always been our goal and our reasons are now being taken seriously.”

But politicians from the

opposition Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats warned that the government’s reversal on fracking may be a temporary ploy to garner votes during the upcoming national vote.

Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn called the move “an election stunt” that would likely be reversed the day after the vote if Prime Minister Boris Johnson is still in power.

“We’re quite clear, we will end fracking. We think it’s unnecessary, we think it’s pollutive of ground water systems, and also all the evidence from Preston New Road in Lancashire is it’s actually dangerous and has caused serious earth tremors,” Corbyn said.

Rebecca Newsom, head of politics at Greenpeace, said fracking has no future in Britain because of widespread opposition.

“Opening up a new fossil fuel industry in this climate emergency was always an awful idea and it’s only seemed worse as the industry has lurched from mishap to disaster,” she said. “Grassroots activists across the country deserve huge credit.”

SoHi Pool Schedule M,W,F Morning Lap 6:3-7:30 a.m.

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

If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: http://www.parchment. com to order transcripts to be sent.

The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace — rather than the US mail — to get to its destination, which is much faster! ALL transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way!

FINAL TRANSCRIPTS! A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades. If you order your transcript when we are in second semester, you will need to make sure you choose “next grading period” when you go on to Parchment — that way your transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.

DON’T LET

POLITICS TURN THIS

INTO THIS The Trump Administration is ignoring science in favor of politics to advance the Pebble Mine at the headwaters of Bristol Bay. Despite extensive studies documenting that the mine will do irreparable, perhaps catastrophic harm to the region’s world class wild salmon fishery, political insiders are pushing the mine through the permitting process at a record pace — leaving critical questions about the project unanswered.

It’s time to listen to the science and stand with the people of Bristol Bay in their fight to stop the Pebble Mine.

Dimond JV wins Ice Challenge Kenai takes 2nd after topping SoHi on Saturday

Staff report The Dimond junior varsity won the Peninsula Ice Challenge on Saturday at the Kenai Multi-Purpose Facility.

Saturday, the Lynx topped Delta Junction 10-1 while Kenai Central defeated Soldotna 6-5. This set up a three-way tie at the top of the table, with Soldotna, Kenai and Dimond JV all finishing 2-1.

Dimond and Kenai finished ahead of Soldotna due to allowing the least goals.

Because Dimond and Kenai allowed the same amount of goals, it came down to head-to-head play and Dimond’s 2-1 victory over Kenai on Friday carried the day.

Against Soldotna, Kenai took a 2-0 lead after the first period with Jacob Begich and Zachary Burnett scoring the goals.

In the second period, Galen Brantley III cut it to 2-1, but Nate Beiser

came right back with a goal. Spencer Kapp scored for Soldotna, but Beiser answered again for Kenai. Dylan Walton would then score for Soldotna to make it 4-3 after the second period.

In the third period, the Kards stretched the lead to 6-3 on goals by Tucker Vann and Begich. But Brantley III and Medcoff sliced the lead back to 6-5.

Soldotna head coach Indy Walton said his team pulled the goalie and pressured Kenai for the final two minutes, but could not find the equalizer against Kenai goalie Thomas Baker.

“That Baker kid showed a lot of composure and came up really big,” Walton said.

The coach said his team made some costly defensive turnovers, and Walton gave Kenai credit for capitalizing on those turnovers.

Baker made 45 saves for Kenai. For

Soldotna, Corbin Wirz stopped 19 and Josh Tree stopped 10.

Dimond JV 2, Kenai 1 The Dimond JV survived a final few frantic minutes Friday night to secure a 2-1 victory over the Kenai Central hockey team at the Kenai Multi-Purpose Facility.

The Kardinals struggled to break out in a game heavy with penalty minutes, as Kenai was handed 13 penalties for 29 minutes in the box. The Lynx weren’t much better with 11 penalties for 22 minutes.

Stars populate all-state team

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

Hot off an eighth straight Division II state championship, the Soldotna Stars football program continued to haul in the postseason accolades Saturday with the release of the Division II All-State awards.

Four of the six major awards went to SoHi, including Offensive Player of the Year in senior quarterback Jersey Truesdell, Defensive Player of the Year in senior linebacker Galen Brantley III, Lineman of the Year in senior Melvin Lloyd and Utility Player of the Year in senior Wyatt Medcoff.

Soldotna head coach Galen Brantley Jr. said each player named to the list deserved a special spot in the history of the football program, starting with Truesdell.

“He just had a phenomenal season,” Brantley Jr. said.

Truesdell finished his senior campaign with 16 touchdown passes and zero interceptions, including the playoffs, and was among the region’s top rushers as well, running for 348 yards and eight TDs. “It’s just kind of unheard of,” Brantley Jr. said. “He was just a phenomenal leader for us, he took care of the football, and made plays when we needed it.

He’s the hub of our offense, everything we do moves through him. We’ve been able to do a lot with Jersey that we haven’t.”

Brantley III served as a dangerous passing target for opposing defenses but also led the SoHi defense in 2019. In the championship game against Lathrop, Brantley III had 17 tackles,

a momentum-shifting pick-six and another pressure play that forced a Lathrop interception.

“He’s our defensive points leader throughout the season, he played really big in big games,” Brantley Jr. said about his son.

Lloyd blossomed in 2019 as a lineman on both sides of the ball, Brantley Jr. said, and went from a one-way player as a junior to a dominant two-way starter for the Stars.

“Melvin was a very special lineman for us, he was big for us with his size and strength,” Brantley Jr. said. “He’s a state placer in wrestling and track (in the shot put), and for a 300-pound guy he moves very well. He’s very strong and physical.”

Medcoff earned his utility moniker in 2019 as a running back that led Soldotna with 10 rushing TDs and an average of 17.6 yards per carry, a stealthy kickoff and punt returner that helped put SoHi in good field position, and a lethal defensive back that forced turnovers, including three interceptions in Week 1 against West Anchorage. Brantley Jr. said Medcoff finished his year last week with two picks in the annual Alaska Shriners Classic.

“For a guy that does so many things, he’s like our Swiss army knife,” Brantley Jr. said. “He returned kickoffs and punts and was a leader in the secondary.“ Kenai Central placed two players on the firstteam lists, including center Hunter Beck on the offense and punter Justin Anderson on the special teams list.

Kenai boys nab 1st region title

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

A region championship decades in the making was finally brought to reality Saturday afternoon in the Kenai Central High School pool, site of the Northern Lights Conference swimming and diving championships.

The Kenai Central boys raced to their first region team title in school history to snap a 10-year NLC stranglehold by the Kodiak Bears, pulling in 76 points to beat the runner-up Colony Knights, who had 65. The title was a first for the Kenai boys program, adding to the one the Kenai girls won in the early 1990s.

The Kardinals secured the championship with two relay wins, claiming gold in the 200-yard medley relay and the 200 freestyle relay. Relays are worth twice as many points as individual races, and the quartet of Koda Poulin, Trevor Bagley, Owen Rolph and Sorin Sorensen teamed up to win both

events, pouring a mountain of points into Kenai’s bucket.

“The boys swam out of their minds today,” said Kenai

head coach Winter Heaven.

“I’m honestly surprised, even though I knew they’d do well, but they exceeded

expectations.”

Bears use comebacks to notch road sweep of Generals Staff Report Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears pulled off a pair of dramatic comebacks to sweep the host Northeast (Massachusetts) Generals on Friday and Saturday in North American Hockey League play.

The Brown Bears moved into second place in the Midwest Division with a 9-5-1-2 record, while Northeast falls to 7-10-1-1.

“I think the guys kept working hard,” Kenai River head coach Kevin Murdock said. “We just showed a little of our inconsistency. Tonight we took our foot off the gas after a good first period. We were able to

claw back and lucky enough to have enough time to get it done.”

Kenai River now returns home for a 12-game home stand, the longest of the season. The home stay starts Friday and Saturday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, when the Bears take on the Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

“I think it’s going to be good for us to be up there for a while,” Murdock said. “We’ve really only been up in Kenai for not even two weeks this year.

“It’s an opportunity for the guys to get more involved in the community and get more accustomed to the big ice sheet.”

Saturday, the Bears fell into a 3-0 hole before storming back for a 5-3 victory.

Trevor Smith scored in the first period for the Generals, while Tyler Cooper and Charlie Reid buried the puck in the second for a 3-0 lead with 9:35 left until intermission.

Jack Quinn, on assists from Konner Lundeen and Trey LaBarge, got it to 3-1 headed into the third period. Quinn was just acquired by the Bears and played his first game Saturday. He is in his last year of junior eligibility.

“I hope he can have a few more two-goal games,” Murdock joked.

“He was good. He adds a little older presence and more consistency.”

Just 1 minute, 16 seconds, into the third, Logan Ritchie cut it to one with a goal assisted by Soldotna’s Preston Weeks and Eagle River’s Zach Krajnik.

Quinn tied it with 15:53 left in the game on an assist from Laudon Poellinger. Then Theo Thrun put the Bears ahead with a power-play goal assisted by Max Helgeson and Krajnik. Krajnik clinched it with an empty-net, short-handed goal with 28 seconds left.

Landon Pavlisin stopped 30 for the Bears, while Connor Bradford saved 35 for the Generals.

After tying the game with just four seconds left in regulation, the Brown Bears defeated the Generals

4-3 in overtime Friday.

The Bears had to come from a goal down three times to secure victory.

After Dylan Schuett got the Generals on the board just 57 seconds into the game, Weeks, assisted by LaBarge and Helgeson, tied it with 13:26 left in the first.

“He’s definitely been chipping in a bit more on the offensive side of things,” Murdock said of Weeks. “I don’t think he’s changed his game, but he’s definitely doing a good job of reading the play and jumping in the rush.”

Coach of the Year.

The Seward boys finished fourth in the team race with 38 points, while Soldotna took sixth with 20 and Homer tied for seventh with 12.

The NLC girls crown went to Colony, which racked up 80 points to beat the 64 of Kodiak and the 58 of Homer.

Soldotna finished fourth in the girls team race with 38 points, while Kenai Central was sixth with 19 and Seward was eighth with 16.

Soldotna senior Ethan Evans received the conference Male Swimmer of the Year award and raced to two region championships in the boys 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard breaststroke, while Female Swimmer of the Year went to Homer junior Madison Story, who won the girls 200 IM and was part of the winning girls 200 freestyle relay.

The championship for the Kardinals was made possible by an early disqualification.

In the first boys final of the day, the 200 medley relay, the Colony Knights touched the wall first to beat the secondplace Kards, but two judges ruled that a Colony swimmer leapt into the pool before the previous member touched the wall, leading to the DQ. The ensuing promotion to first place for Kenai resulted in an 18-point swing, enough to give the big trophy to the Kards.

“I honestly wasn’t focused on the points,” Heaven said.

“We were just letting the day develop and keeping our heads in the game race by race.”

In the individual races, Kenai came close to winning several finals. Leading the way was sophomore freestyle ace Koda Poulin, who placed second in both the 200 and 500 freestyle races. Poulin said he dropped his personal bests by three seconds in the 200 and seven seconds in the 500.

“I couldn’t tell you,” Poulin said about why he dropped so much time. “I’ve been tapering and I’ve had a hard season.”

Poulin raced alongside boys 500 free winner Ian Rocheleau of Kodiak in the early laps of the endurance event, and even led briefly midway through before eventually falling back and finishing 4.30 seconds behind Rocheleau in a time of 5 minutes, 1.74 seconds.

Poulin said that race kept his spirits up as he contended with a tough competitor.

“I could see him in the beginning,” Poulin said about Rocheleau. “I was just trying

to keep up with him, but he’s quick.”

Another event the Kardinals pulled in a lot of points was the 100 backstroke final, as Kenai finished second, third and fourth with Sorin Sorensen, Samuel Anderson and Brock Storms finishing behind winner Jonathan Cowin of Colony.

Trevor Bagley also bagged the Kenai boys school record in the 100 breaststroke, finishing third in the race with a time of 1:01.30, then adding a fourth in the 200 IM. Rolph took second in the 100 butterfly and third in the 50 free.

Kenai also got a winner out of junior Rachael Pitsch in the girls 500 freestyle. Pitsch raced Soldotna’s Madison Snyder, the reigning 500 free champ, early in the distance race before pulling away for a 7.64-second victory in a new PR of 5:37.81.

“Most people when they’re nervous aren’t as fast, but I think nerves help me,” Pitsch said. “I was a little nervous going into it because I had to race last year’s winner Madison, who beat me then.”

Pitsch also finished third in the girls 200 free, a race in which she slashed three seconds off her PR. In earning his Male Swimmer of the Year award, junior Ethan Evans led SoHi with two wins in the 50 free and the 100 breaststroke. Evans broke the NLC record in the freestyle final, a mark from 2000 that’s been held by SoHi grad Joshua Gemmell.

“That was huge,” Evans said. “I’ve been chasing Gemmell for a while, I tried to break it at the Pentathlon, and I’ve had my eyes on that record.”

SoHi head coach Angie Brennan said next week, Evans has the potential to bring home SoHi’s first swimming state title since 2003.

“We’re talking about him breaking the region record, and I think he has the potential to win state,” Brennan said. “Regions does that … it’s on his radar.”

The SoHi girls didn’t record any individual victories, but still tallied a chunk of points with two runner-ups in the 200 free and 400 free relays, with a team composed of Madison Snyder, Alex Juliussen, Katie Creglow and Madelyn Barkman. Also, Barkman notched a third in the 50 freestyle and fourth in the 100 freestyle.

Saturday also saw another chapter in the Lydia Jacoby and Madison Story rivalry, as the two friendly competitors went head-to-head in the girls 200 IM and the 100 breaststroke finals. Story nipped Jacoby for the 200 IM title while Jacoby beat Story in the breaststroke to force a

split between the two.

Story won the IM in a time of 2:10.19, beating Jacoby by a slim 0.18 seconds. Jacoby put in one of her exceptional breaststroke legs to briefly take the lead after three legs, but Story came back with a fast freestyle leg to beat Jacoby to the wall.

“That was really exciting,” Jacoby said. “We go back and forth in that race, and I think it was (physically) extremely painful for both of us.”

As if she wasn’t fast enough, Jacoby also lowered her own region record in the breaststroke by 1.12 seconds with a new time of 1:01.93, and now sets her sights on beating her own state record next weekend in Anchorage.

Jacoby said she and Seward head coach Meghan O’Leary were able to fine-tune a few mechanics in her swimming that helped lop off some extra time.

“We’ve been working on pulling in practice, which has never been a strong point with me,” Jacoby explained.

“It’s a lot of power that I didn’t have before.”

O’Leary said Jacoby’s performance only served notice to the rest of the state that she’s coming back to state tougher than before.

“Those are her own records she’s breaking,” O’Leary said. “She’s been working on those.”

O’Leary also saw a bittersweet moment when Seward senior Connor Spanos broke the boys school record in the 100 butterfly with a time of 53.47 seconds, bettering the 53.65 mark of 2010 Seward winner Ryan O’Leary, Meghan’s younger brother.

Draisaitl scores in OT as Oilers master Penguins

By The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Leon Draisaitl scored in overtime to give the Edmonton Oilers a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.

Draisaitl had Alex Galchenyuk on his back when he flipped a rolling puck past Matt Murray on a breakaway 2:37 into overtime for his NHL-best 13th goal of the season.

Draisaitl had 12 goals and 25 points in October and has seven goals and 10 points during a five-game point streak.

Colby Cave also scored for Edmonton, which has three wins in its last seven games after starting 7-1. Mike Smith stopped 51 shots for the Oilers.

Brian Dumoulin scored a shorthanded goal for Pittsburgh, which has lost four of its last six. Murray made 27 saves.

BRUINS 5, SENATORS 2 BOSTON — David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists as Boston beat Ottawa, in a game in which the Senators’ Scott Sabourin was taken to a hospital for evaluation after being taken off on a stretcher.

Sabourin was taken from the ice with his head immobilized

following a collision with David Backes in which the players’ helmets hit at nearly full speed early in the first period.

Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, Danton Heinen and Jake DeBrusk also scored for Boston, which has lost just once in regulation this season. The Bruins have won five straight.

Tuukka Rask made 30 saves for the Bruins, including eight when Boston was short-handed for six straight minutes.

Anthony Duclair and Connor Brown scored for Ottawa.

ISLANDERS 1, SABRES 0 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Semyon Varlamov made 27 saves, and New York beat Buffalo for its ninth straight win.

Derick Brassard scored in the first period as the Islanders continued their longest unbeaten streak in 30 years. They have won nine in a row twice before, in 1989-90 and during a franchise-record 15-game win streak during the 1981-82 season.

not for the constant penalty kills.

“We’re headed in the right direction,” Shelden said.

“Obviously we were kind of hurting ourselves, and the kids got to fix it.

“We’ve just got to change our approach.”

Kenai goaltender Jackson Cross finished the game with 30 saves on 32 shots, keeping the Kardinals in the game.

With goaltending like that, combined with two games that has seen the offense produce 98 shots on goal, Shelden is happy with the squad so far in 2019.

“I love the vibe so far,” he said. “It’s exciting, we’ve got great leadership.”

The Kards showcased an improved attack with 42 shots on Dimond freshmen goalies Beau Brown and Kaden Stilwell, who combined for the one-goal performance with 41 saves. Brown stopped 28 of 29 shots on goal while Stilwell finished the job with 13 saves in the third period.

Dimond JV coach Chris Gardeline called it a gritty win, adding that the defensive lines in front of Brown and Stilwell did their part to contain Kenai.

“The boys knew we had a tough task going into the third period at 2-1, we knew (Kenai) would give it their all,” Gardeline said. “We weathered the storm, got pucks deep, chipped it in.

A lot of big blocked shots, I think that definitely helped us. The guys knew they had to just play a defensive game.”

Dimond lit the lamp

first with a goal from freshman winger Chris Horton, who capitalized on a mad scrum at the goal to chip in a rebound past Cross.

The Kards answered back just 67 seconds later when junior forward Aidan Milburn collected a rebound that soared high off the pads of Brown and into the left corner, depositing the goal from deep to tie the game with 6:28 left in the first period.

The Lynx got the lead back late in the first period on a power-play strike from sophomore Mason Ellis, who received the assist in open ice and streaked down the right boards to lift a shot past Cross, putting Dimond up 2-1.

The lead stood the rest of the way, a total of 33 minutes, 19 seconds, of game time that Kenai couldn’t use to crack the goalies, although there were several close shaves in the final minutes. Senior skater Jordan Knudsen had a breakaway look on goal but was denied.

With 57 seconds left in the game, Dimond was charged with an elbowing penalty, but Kenai was denied the power play with an unsportsmanlike call that nullified the man advantage. The Kards pulled their goalie with about 40 seconds to play, then got a 6-on-4 power play with 20 seconds left on a tripping call on Dimond.

Shelden said he has no concerns on the team’s scoring strength.

“The goals will come if we keep doing this,” he said. “It’s just technique, and mental.

We just need to focus on the puck.”

Kenai will face off with

Soldotna Saturday at 4:30 p.m., following the Delta vs.

Dimond JV game at 2 p.m.

Soldotna 13, Delta 3 The Stars moved to 2-0 in the tournament by running away from Delta as the game went on.

Wyatt Medcoff had six assists, plus a goal, for Soldotna, while Galen Brantley III had four goals and two assists. Journey Miller added two goals and two assists, while Spencer Kapp had four assists.

Also for the Stars, Ethan Yeager had two goals and an assist, Dylan Walton had a goal and an assist, Gavin Haakenson had a goal and freshman Silas Larsen had his first varsity goal, plus an assist.

Dylan Dahlgren and David Aley added assists for Soldotna, which won the shot count 88-22.

Despite the lopsided loss, Delta Junction head coach Andy Hudgin was happy to have had the experience.

The Huskies do not have a refrigerated rink, so their first time on ice was an 8-0 loss to Kenai Central on Thursday.

“We’re still on the gravel,” Hudgin said. “It’s supposed to get a little colder, so hopefully we’ll be on ice in a few weeks.”

Delta was able to get in its first practice of the season Friday morning. Hudgin said his team came out and played with better structure.

After Justin Gerhart had an unassisted goal in the first period, Jacob Anderson, assisted by Gerhart and Darren Hjelm, lit the lamp to cut SoHi’s lead to 3-2 with 5 minutes, 25 seconds left in

the first period.

One thing the Huskies didn’t get to work on was the power play and penalty kill, and Soldotna would have four short-handed goals and two power-play goals to open up the score.

“We’re learning to put ourselves together earlier and earlier,” Hudgin said.

“We’ve never had games this early before.”

Soldotna head coach Indy Walton was disappointed with the way his team started the game. The Stars defeated Delta 10-1 at state last season, and Walton said his squad may have come in overconfident.

He said the emphasis going in was passing and not allowing goals, since the tiebreaker at the tournament is goals allowed.

Walton said his team didn’t do a good job of either thing early in the game.

“I have higher expectations,” he said. “We can play better. We gave up three goals and they have nine skaters, and we had 18.”

Walton said the passing improved as the game went on.

He credited Medcoff and Miller for jump-starting the

team with energetic play on the penalty kill that led to short-handed goals.

Walton said Ethan Yeager and Dylan Dahlgren were good on the power play, while Spencer Kapp did a good job passing from his defenseman position.

The coach said goalie Josh Tree pulled himself after allowing a third goal about five minutes into the second period. Corbin Wirz shut the Huskies out the rest of the way.

Walton said Tree did not play poorly. He just got some unfortunate bounces.

“It’s a tough position,” the coach said. “There’s a lot of pressure.”

Hudgin said centers Gerhart and Steven Warren, who scored in the second period, did a good job of puck possession. Tyler Hudgin was solid on defense.

Last but not least is Delta goalie Greg Hanson, who faced those 88 shots.

“Their goalie came up huge,” Walton said. “He had three saves that were worthy of ESPN.” Friday Lynx 2, Kardinals 1 Dimond JV 2 0 0 —2 Kenai Central 1 0 0 —1

Trump gets on feet to watch Masvidal top Diaz NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump was on his feet as Jorge Masvidal defeated a bloodied Nate Diaz via a TKO before the fourth round of the UFC 244 main event at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wrapped a crudely named, made-for-PPV baddest man in MMA title belt around Masvidal’s waist as nearly 20,000 fans howled in protest of the quick finish.

Masvidal dominated the first three rounds and opened cuts

above Diaz’s eyes that turned his face into a crimson mask.

The assigned doctor stopped the fight just before the fourth round. Both fighters felt the bout should continue.

Johnson walked out holding the manufactured Baddest Mother (Censored!) championship belt to a thunderous ovation as his WWE theme music hit. Trump, who became the first president to attend a UFC card, clapped for Johnson and stayed on his feet for the furious early rounds.

Masvidal charged at Diaz

once the initial bell rang before he pulled up and smiled, a nod to his UFCrecord five-second KO of Ben Askren in his last fight. Trump and his adult sons stood as Masvidal took quick control and pounded on Diaz. Diaz had a gash open over his right eye, his face bloodied as he lay on his back trying to kick away Diaz.

The partisan crowd took turns chanting “Diaz!” and “Jorge!” and The Rock sat stone-faced, nodding at the biggest haymakers. Diaz

staked his claim as the BMF — if the B stood for bloodiest — when he flexed for the crowd to end the second as blood poured down his face.

The doc wouldn’t let the fight go into a fourth and 170-pound bout was over.

The packed house at the Garden stood and had their phones out, craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the president as he took his cageside seat. Trump smiled and waved to fans as AC/ DC’s “Back in Black” was blasted over the speakers

shortly before the start of the 10 p.m. event. Trump received a mixed reaction, though nothing quite as derisive as the boos and “Lock him up!” chants he received last week at the World Series.

Trump hugged boxing legend Roberto Duran as they posed for a picture and sat in the same row as UFC President Dana White. Trump is tight with White, a relationship that dates to UFC’s formative years before its rise into a billion dollar promotion. New Jersey was one of

the first states that embraced UFC, and White credits cards at the Trump Taj Mahal for helping the company grow into a heavyweight in the sports world. White spoke at Trump’s request at the Republican National Convention and they are occasional dining partners.

Trump wore a suit and red tie, and sat with sons Donald Jr. and Eric, several congressional Republicans and sports personalities just out of range of potential blood splatter.

Poll: Most Americans dislike twice-a-year time flops

By Tom Davies Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Most people across the country will see their clocks roll back an hour this weekend as nearly eight months of daylight saving time come to an end. It is part of a twice-a-year ritual that most want to stop.

Seven in 10 Americans prefer not to switch back and forth to mark daylight saving time, a new poll shows. But there’s no agreement on which time clocks ought to follow.

According to the new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 4 in 10 Americans would like to see their clocks stay on standard time yearround, while about 3 in 10 prefer to stay on daylight saving time. About another 3 in 10 prefer what is the

status quo in most of the United States, switching back and forth between daylight saving time in the summer and standard time in the winter.

At least seven state legislatures have backed asking Congress to allow year-round daylight saving time in the past few years — and about 60% of California voters supported a ballot proposition last year calling for such a move.

Arguments about whether later sunsets or earlier sunrises are better for business or safety aren’t what matter to some people. Jason Oliver, a 43-year-old retired soldier from Rolla, Missouri, is among those who see the clock changes as just “messing things up” and he doesn’t really care which time gets picked.

“To me, I don’t see the need to

keep flip flopping between times,” Oliver said.

The sun-splashed states of Hawaii and Arizona are the only ones where clocks won’t change at 2 a.m. local time Sunday, while most others have done the “spring forward” and “fall back” switches since Congress passed the Uniform Time Act in 1966.

Indiana joined them for more than three decades as a timechange holdout until 2006 when legislators by a single vote approved a business-backed push to have all its counties observe daylight saving time.

Online thrift stores: Where the deals are

By Tali Arbel Associated Press

NEW YORK — It’s not just eBay anymore. A slew of websites and apps act as virtual thrift stores for vintage devotees, deal hunters and those just looking to unload stuff they don’t want anymore.

These sites have proliferated as the recession of a decade ago and the slow comeback in wages since then dramatically altered how people shop. Discounters like T.J. Maxx have been sweeping up, while many traditional retailers have shrunk, gone bankrupt or disappeared. The stigma of “used” has fallen away, and many now shop knowing full well they can sell their pieces later and get some money back. Some consider buying used clothes online a more eco-conscious approach to trends.

There’s a range to the Goodwills and consignment stores of the internet. Some cater to kids or young adults; some are specifically for high-end fashion; some are a free-for-all. Online, stuff may be more expensive than at an actual thrift store, especially when you add in shipping costs.

But in many cases, it’s also easier to find stuff — no dusty racks, no piles of clothing, and you can search for a brand name and item without leaving your couch.

There’s often room to negotiate price.

The best sites create an experience for shoppers that’s not only easier to navigate than an actual thrift store but better than going to a traditional store and buying something new (at full price), said Anita Balchandani, a McKinsey partner.

Willie Walton hangs clothing on a three-tiered conveyor system at the ThredUp sorting facility in Phoenix on March 12.

It’s hard to determine how big the used-clothing market is but you can see increasing consumer interest in it due to the growing number of companies engaged in it, said Balchandani, who is co-author of a report predicting that consumers will use more “preowned” or rented clothing, a la Rent the Runway’s model of renting out clothes to its subscribers.

The best-known online marketplace that connects individual sellers and buyers is eBay. But sites built for different purposes also function as bargain-hunting middlemen. You can list your wares on neighborhood app Nextdoor, Craigslist and Facebook’s marketplace. In these cases, you’re typically limited by geography as these sites mostly connect locals, pointed out Kathy

Kristof, editor of the SideHusl website that gives tips on gig jobs.

Some people also use Facebook’s groups function, dedicated to specific brands, and ship to each other across the country. Etsy also is more wide-ranging.

Fraud protections vary on these platforms. Etsy and eBay have a process to resolve disputes. On the others, it may be free to post listings, but that means there

is no mediator when things go wrong.

On some sites, sellers manage their own “closets.” They can try to develop a personal following by using social media to promote themselves and ingratiate themselves to buyers by enclosing thank-you notes with purchases.

Salvage shops offer sustainable, authentic decor with a story

By Katherine Roth Associated Press

Two of the hottest trends in home decor are sustainability and authenticity. No wonder architectural salvage shops are busy.

Homeowners love features that come with a story, says Rich Ellis, publisher of Architectural Salvage and Antique Lumber News.

“When you can point to your floor and say it came from an old shoe factory in Connecticut, for example, that’s a big attraction,” he says.

There are between 500 and 700 architectural salvage businesses across the country, and business has been good, he says.

“It’s about both history and sustainability,” says Madeline

Beauchamp of Olde Good Things, one of the oldest architectural salvage businesses in the country, with one shop in Los Angeles, two retail warehouses in Scranton, Pennsylvania, three stores in New York City and a flagship store to open soon in Midtown Manhattan.

Lorna Aragon, home editor at Martha Stewart Living, says people are looking for quality and “want their homes to be original.

And of course the whole ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ aspect of things plays into it as well.”

While some items are sold just as found when they were salvaged from renovation sites, others have been modified for home use. There are Paris street lamps reconfigured as large pendant lamps to hang above kitchen islands or in loft apartments, and window frames from historical buildings like New York City’s Domino sugar factory or Flatiron building, now fitted with mirrors to be hung on walls. Tin ceiling tiles from old New York buildings are also sometimes fitted with mirrors, or framed and hung as is, says Beauchamp.

their garden area,” she adds. Her customers tend to be designers, architects and those trying to update their homes with unique decor that has a sense of history.

Olde Good Things sells everything from vintage doorknobs to huge stained-glass panels that were once part of the American Airlines terminal at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.

There are enormous chandeliers that once hung in a Broadway theater, and, from the old Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, dishes, fireplace mantels and the elegant doorframe of the historic hotel’s presidential suite.

Stuart Grannen runs the upscale Architectural Artifacts in Chicago, which deals in rare items favored by restaurants, bars and hotels. “These days, individuals might have one really great centerpiece item and live with that,” he says. “The days when someone would come in and buy 50 doorknobs are done.”

Most of his clients, he says, are businesses looking for huge, beautiful counters, showcases, consoles or back bars.

“When I salvage things, it might be the whole facade of a theater, or a giant chandelier,” he says.

But Aragon counters that items like vintage plumbing, sinks and tubs continue to be popular.

In addition to architectural elements, salvaged lumber is also a hot item in many salvage shops, sometimes transformed into things like dining tables, readymade, custom-ordered or sold as is.

“The antique lumber side of things is very strong,” says Ellis, for table tops and other decor elements.

Antique bricks and paving stones are also being repurposed for, say, a decorative wall.

“Things like those wonderful old wide floorboards and barn siding have been popular for some time,” notes Aragon.

Ellis traces this history of architectural salvage to the 1960s, and says it has been growing slowly but steadily ever since but really became mainstream in the 1990s.

While the first generation of architectural salvage business owners is starting to retire and close, a new generation is stepping in, he says.

“That desire for elements with a sense of history and a great story behind them is not going away anytime soon,” says Ellis.

Right at home: Design, décor with British flair

Britain’s political climate may be gloomy, but on the decor front the sun is shining. Young designers and established firms are crafting furniture, lighting and accessory collections that celebrate vintage patterns, tweak the traditional and offer a new take on British history.

There are porter’s chairs, for instance, from the rebel luxury brand Jimmie Martin . While the classic chairs’ interiors are upholstered in luxe velvets and leathers, the cowl-like hooded backs are covered in graffiti. The effect is a little rococo, a little rock ‘n’ roll.

There are lighting fixtures from Lee Broom , who began his career as a teenage protégé of fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.

The Carousel pendant’s ring of gunmetal or brass cylinders is tipped with opal glass diffusers.

Broom’s inspiration? “The nostalgic merry-go-rounds of a traditional British fairground.”

Glasgow design house Timorous Beasties is known for avantgarde takes on traditional patterns for wallcoverings and fabrics.

There’s Bloomsbury Garden, a lush flora and fauna pattern that celebrates the fashionable and famous London neighborhood.

Get it in wallpaper, fabric or cushion form. Here too is the Thistle pattern, with the Scottish flower’s tufts and spikes placed against saturated hues like crimson,

aubergine and earth.

Lancashire legacy wallpaper firm Graham & Brown was also inspired by Bloomsbury when creating its paper of the year. In this case, it was the Bloomsbury set, a group of early 20th century artists, writers and thinkers who pushed against the constraints of Victorian and Edwardian society.

Bloomsbury Neo-Mint is a lush, country-garden floral print on a soigne, pale green background. A complementary paint color has also been created: Adeline, a deep bottle-green (named for Bloomsbury group member Virginia Woolf, whose first name was actually Adeline.)

Mosaic maker New Ravenna has launched the Bright Young Things collection, inspired by the glamorous, jazzy exuberance of London’s social scene in the 1920s.

Patterns evocative of art deco and the bohemian spirit of the era are translated into tumbled, polished stone trimmed with brushed metallics.

Even teacups have been given a refresh. Royal Worcester , one of England’s oldest porcelain makers, has Hannah Dale’s whimsical Wrendale Designs collection, inspired by the artist’s Stoke-onTrent studio home. Woodland bird and animal watercolor drawings are printed on fine bone china.

Royal Doulton references the year John Doulton started the London pottery company with the new 1815 collection of

Designer Timothy Oulton is known for updating iconic pieces like chesterfield sofas and lounge chairs by playing with scale or adding dramatic upholstery. Side tables reference old leather school trunks, British aircraft or regimental drums. It’s all done with reverence for the original pieces.

“We take inspiration from a range of eras and cultures, but

I’ve always had a fascination for British craftsmanship,” Oulton says. “My dad opened his own antiques shop when he retired from the Army, and that’s where I fell in love with the classic British craftsmanship ethos that pervaded the late 19th and early 20th century. Things were built to last generations.”

At the height of the British Empire, he says, “British artisans had access to any beautiful material from anywhere in the world,

and the stuff the British made had this unique sense of permanence and purpose.”

He’s got a soft spot for one British item, and it’s not a piece of furniture. “There’s a guy named Ben Shillingford who started making lighters for Dunhill in 1949 and I’ve bought every one that I can — I have around 200,” says Oulton. “They’re presented beautifully, all made by one man, by hand, and I’m still spellbound when I look at one of them.”

Don’t let try-before-you-buy shopping bust your budget

By Lauren Schwahn NerdWallet

Services such as Stitch Fix and Amazon’s Prime Wardrobe have put try-before-you-buy shopping on the map. The concept is simple: Shoppers get apparel, accessories or other goods delivered to try, which they can either send back or purchase.

“For many customers who do not enjoy the hustle and bustle of driving to the mall, parking, going through shelves, picking out items and hitting a dressing room, perusing from the comfort of the couch and selecting items to be delivered to the door to try on can be very convenient,” says Casey Taylor, a partner in the retail practice of Bain and Company, a global management consultancy.

But sneaky fees and easy-tomiss return windows can lead shoppers to spend more than

Dillon, a former junior high teacher, maintains Indiana’s current sunrise times of 8 a.m. or later during some of the fall and winter are unsafe for children and others walking along roadways. She’s campaigned for Indiana to switch from the Eastern time zone to Central so sunrises will come earlier — and believes year-round

they bargained for. Here’s how to take advantage of try-before-youbuy shopping while leaving your budget unscathed.

Watch out for nonrefundable fees “Try before you buy” isn’t always as straightforward as it sounds.

In some cases, just because you choose to try an item rather than purchase it upfront doesn’t mean it won’t cost anything — even if you send it back.

The personalized styling service Stitch Fix charges a $20 styling fee for each shipment. That fee gets credited toward any item you keep from the box, but will not be refunded if you return everything.

Nordstrom’s Trunk Club has a $25 styling fee that works the same way. These fees can be dangerous because they incentivize shoppers to keep products they might not

adoption of daylight saving time would be awful for people living on the western edges of the U.S. time zones.

“Sunrise at 9 in the morning?” Dillon said. “The problem is that the children are out when it is dangerous. That is absolutely inexcusable.”

That sunlight hours debate is already going on in much of the country.

Florida’s governor in March signed what was dubbed the “Sunshine Protection Act” to keep the Sunshine State on daylight saving time all year long, even though the Florida PTA warned it would endanger

actually want or need.

“We hate to feel like we’re losing something. If we feel like we’ve already spent money to get a service and we can get that money back with a purchase, we’re going to be kind of mentally calculating a price reduction in that item we’re considering,” says Kit Yarrow , consumer psychologist and author of “Decoding the New Consumer Mind: How and Why We Shop and Buy.” Check retailer policies and FAQs for styling fees, shipping charges or other nonrefundable costs before you commit to a service.

Yarrow recommends considering alternatives, such as making a regular online purchase with a retailer that offers free returns or limiting try-before-you-buy orders to once a season or less. That way, you’re more likely to find something you need and less likely to throw money down the drain.

students. Supporters argued that winter sunsets about 6:30 p.m., rather than the current 5:30, could give an economic boost with tourists staying later at theme parks and beaches.

Alabama lawmakers have backed a resolution to “forever put an end to the deadly, energy-wasting, productivity-killing, twiceyearly changing of time.”

Neighboring Tennessee has taken a similar stance.

Bills to ditch time changes have also passed in Oregon and Washington, so with the support of California’s voters the West Coast is fully on board with permanent daylight saving time.

Even President Donald Trump has weighed in, tweeting in March that making daylight saving time permanent is “O.K. with me!”

Sen. Marco Rubio and

Opt out of automatic deliveries Amazon’s Personal Shopper by Prime Wardrobe and many other try-before-you-buy programs give consumers the option to schedule repeat deliveries. While getting a treat on a regular basis is enticing, subscriptions often have a way of spiraling out of control. Spacing out these orders can spare your budget.

“After your fifth or sixth or seventh box, you might have all the clothes you need for a little while,” Taylor says. “Do you really need a box this month or might you do every other month or one a season?”

All this isn’t to say you should avoid try-before-you-buy shopping entirely. As with all expenses, you can approach it thoughtfully and set limits that you’re comfortable with. “It can work if you do it the right way, which is to not overdo it, to be really specific

Rep. Vern Buchanan, both of Florida, have introduced measures in Congress to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide but no action has been taken on them.

The AP-NORC poll found about 4 in 10 Americans ages 45 and over prefer permanent daylight saving, compared with about 2 in 10 of those younger. The younger group is more likely than the older to prefer either standard time year round (44% to 36 or switching back and forth (33% to 24%).

The twice-a-year clock changes don’t bother Chantelle Breaux, a 34-year-old stay-at-home mom from Lafayette, Louisiana.

Breaux said people know what to expect and that the common complaint about being tired after losing an

about your objective and to not go too far down the lane of obligation,” Yarrow says.

Mark return deadlines Missing the return window can leave you stuck with unwanted items and the bill to match. Take online glasses retailer Warby Parker. Its free home try-on service allows shoppers to get up to five frames delivered. If a customer fails to ship the box back by the end of the trial period, five days after delivery, they’re on the hook for the full price of each frame.

This system can spell trouble for indecisive or forgetful folks.

“Maybe you think about it and you think a little too long and you end up keeping them rather than sending them back in time and so you’ve now purchased them through inertia rather than through desire,” Yarrow says.

Poll: Most against switching clocks

As many Americans prepare to fall back to standard time this weekend, a new AP-NORC Center poll finds most prefer not to make the switch.

Q: Would you prefer to use daylight saving time all year round, standard time all year round, or switch back and forth between them?

from Instagram,” said Haley Gibbs, 24, who resells clothes that she picks up from thrift stores in Minneapolis, where she lives. She sells on Poshmark, a site that’s a grab-bag of styles and prices. She sends handwritten notes to her buyers, whom she considers a supportive community that helped her transition to selling full-time.

The whole look and feel of Depop, an app popular with teens and young adults, is reminiscent of Instagram, complete with stylized posts by wannabe influencers.

Other sites cater to parents of young children, like Kidizen. It’s a market that makes particular sense for used clothing, since kids grow so fast.

hundreds or even thousands of dollars, a model like TheRealReal guarantees that the merchandise is authentic. The company’s employees, not individual sellers, sets prices and the site takes a hefty cut — it can be over half of the selling price. But buyers are able to trust that a Hermes scarf is actually Hermes.

Reselling and refurbishing used clothes is attracting so much attention that some resale sites are striking partnerships with retail names more than a century old.

J.C. Penney and Macy’s are working with ThredUP, which operates similarly to TheRealReal in that a customer buys from the middleman, not from another individual. (ThredUP does not have the same singular high-end focus, though.) Neiman Marcus has an arrangement with Fashionphile, in which it owns a minority stake.

There’s a plan for customers to be able to sell their old handbags and accessories to Fashionphile inside Neiman Marcus’ luxury department stores.

November musings: Month of chilly weather, holiday warmth

N

ovember, time to don warm clothes ‘cause the chill is on.

Astrological signs for November: Scorpio and Sagittarius; birthstones: Citrine and Topaz; color: yellow; flower: chrysanthemum; bird: American kestrel; trees: walnut, chestnut and ash; days observed: ending of daylight saving, Election Day, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving Day. Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, with the symbol of the scorpion, the element of water and the ruling planet is Pluto. Scorpio people like truth, facts, being right, teasing and longtime friendships. Their strengths are bravery, passionate and being resourcefulness. Sagittarius is the the ninth sign of the zodiac, with the symbol of the Archer, element is fire and the ruling planet is Jupiter. Sagittarius people are seekers, who have lofty goals and strive for the highest truth. These people love to travel and wide open spaces and the outdoors. Sagittarians tend to be happy, absent-minded, creative and adventurous.

The birthstones for November are citrine — which is said to be a gift from the sun and believed to be a healing gemstone — and topaz, which is found in a variety if rich colors like blue, pink and yellow. Topaz symbolizes love ad affection. It is believed to give the wearer increased strength and intellect. Citrine is associated with success and prosperity.

The month’s color is yellow — meaning sunshine, hope and happiness. On one hand, yellow stands for freshness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honor, loyalty and joy. Nut on the other hand, it represents

Bonnie Marie Playle cowardice and deceit.

November’s flower is the chrysanthemum — meaning optimism and joy. This flower is also the 13th wedding anniversary flower and the official flower of the city of Chicago. Japan celebrates the chrysanthemum every year with the “Festival of Happiness.”

The bird for November is the American kestrel, which is the smallest and most common falcon. They symbolize accuracy of movement, speed and grace, mental concentration, acting at the correct moment, patience and precise action. Kestrel people have a strong desire to spend time alone and need to feel a sense of independence to keep a relationship healthy. They make great diplomats and strategists.

The tree for Nov. 1-11 is the walnut tree — the symbol for clarity and focus. Walnut people are passionate, aggressive, no flexibility and no compromise. Nov. 12-21 is the chestnut tree — meaning chastity, honesty and justice.

Chestnut people are very trustworthy. Nov. 22-30 is the ash tree, which means strength and deep wisdom. It speaks of growth, expansion and higher perspective.

It also has healing agents for childhood illnesses. Ash people tend to deep thinkers.

The first day observed in November is the ending of daylight

saving, which means setting clocks back an hour to make better use of natural daylight.

The next day observed is Election Day, which was legally established for election of public officials. The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in an even year is designated for national elections in the U.S. and observed as a legal holiday in many states.

Then there is Veterans Day, which is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I, to honor U.S. veterans and victims of all wars. It replaced Armistice Day in 1954. It honors military veterans, that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It’s always observed on Nov. 11.

The last day observed in November is Thanksgiving Day, which is a public holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of the month. It originated as a harvest festival. It has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington. It has been recognized as a federal holiday since 1864, during the American Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwells in the Heavens.” It is celebrated annually.

This day was set aside to give thanks for one’s blessings, along with feasts for celebrating a harvest. It has been traced back as far as 1621 at Plymouth Plantation after a successful growing season.

November derives its name from the Latin root novem meaning “nine,” because in the Roman calendar there were only 10 months in the year and November was indeed the ninth month.

November marks the point in the year when the cold begins to set in.

Here’s what is happening on the Kenai Peninsula in November: Nov. 2: Honoring Hope: An Alaskan Black Tie Event, presented by Central Peninsula Hospital, as well as Hope sponsor, Peninsula Radiation Oncology Center. Proceeds go to the Kenai Peninsula Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. This event features heavy hor d’oeuvres, beer, wine and specialty drinks, silent and outcry auction, raffles, paddle raise and live music.

Nov. 5 is Kenai Peninsula Builders Association (KPBA) “Kenai’s Got Talent” Show. Hosted by KPBA and Forever Dance Alaska, this will be at the Renee C. Henderson Auditorium in Kenai.

Nov. 7 there will be a Native Art Sale at the Dena’ina Wellness Center in Old Town Kenai. This event is usually the first Thursday of each month. Alaska Native and American Indian artists will exhibit beaded jewelry, sea otter hats and gloves, kuspuks and much more, just in time for the holiday season.

Nov. 16 the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Kenai Peninsula will have their 32nd Annual Auction and Gala. This year’s theme is “Stardust and Cosmic Dreams” and is a black tie event.

Nov. 22 the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce will announce the winners in the “Spark Soldotna” Small Business Scholarship Program. This is a program to encourage entrepreneurs to start new businesses on the Kenai Peninsula.

Nov. 29 Black Friday will happen, helping merchants bring in the holiday season of shopping. Also, on Nov. 29 is Christmas Comes to Kenai. The event starts

at 10a.m. with the 9th Annual Holiday Bazaar, now hosted at the Challenger Learning Center.

The bazaar includes more than 40 vendors, including home businesses, crafters and much more.

Then at 11 a.m. Santa arrives at the Kenai Visitors Center. Come join him for cookies and hot cocoa.

At 6 p.m. there’s the Electric Light Parade, followed by a bonfire and hot cocoa.

The Grand Finale is the fireworks sponsored by City of Kenai and Weaver Brothers at 7 p.m.

There are several events happening around the state of Alaska during this holiday season, please accept apologies for not naming all of them.

Here are two that I’m aware of: Nov. 4-10 in Haines is the 25th Annual Bald Eagle Festival. Each November in the Chilkat Valley between 2,000 and 4,000 bald eagles are attracted to a late-run of chum and coho salmon. This is the largest congregation of American bald eagles in the world and because of this Haines is known as the Valley of the Eagles. This event is hosted by the American Bald Eagle Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization.

Nov. 29, the Friday after Thanksgiving, there will be a Festival of Lights in Petersburg.

The lighting of the 70 Community Christmas Tree is celebrated with a walk down Nordic Drive with Santa and hundreds of people, large and small, carrying lightsticks or candles and singing carols.

Here is some November trivia: On Nov. 16, 1973, the transAlaska Pipeline Authorization Act was passed by one vote in Senate and became law.

On Nov. 24, 1958, Alaska held the first general election.

Once upon a phone call

J

ust when I thought that I was getting attuned to the snotty onset of winter and establishing a schedule a little less harried, something occurred that profoundly disrupted my chill time.

I was kicked back in a wicked-soft recliner totally zoned into a reread of Dan Brown’s novel “The Lost Symbol,” fantasizing Unhinged alaska about slipping Nick Varney into his world to succor Robert Landon into outwitting the e-vile doer Mal’akh.

Bob and I were about to have an epiphany about the significance of the whispered chant “Verbum sigificatium Verbum omnificum Verbum perdo” and other cool stuff, when my phone nearly launched itself into a sub orbit status.

The subsequent interface went something like this: “Hello?”

“Is this Nick?”

“I believe so. Would you like to me double check?”

“Look smart a$&, Why don’t ya cut out the jester routine and get down to some serious investigative reporting? Gasoline prices are starting to set themselves on gouge again and good weed prices are obscene. Not only that, I haven’t seen this much pure political muck generated in ages. Things have gotten so downright nasty that certain representatives should be pronounced so devoid of intellect that they qualify for reassignment as Library of Congress flower pots.

“Why aren’t you mass media dweebs doing something about it?”

I stared at the phone for a moment after deeming that part of what I just listened to was profoundly insulting to pottery, then hung up.

The phone rang again and I let my maniac messages monitoring device handle the palpably testy and obviously ethanol infused caller.

“Hey you +@u^*&^$#!, why’d ya hang up on me? What kinda editor are ya anyway?

I know yur there. Answer the #%^*&!#g phone!”

I picked up the receiver and gently replied, “Excuse me madam, but I’m not the editor of anything. Editors get paid the real bucks to keep freelancers, such as myself, from getting into so much trouble that they end up writing for gold foil- wrapped, chocolate covered, peanut butter bitcoins. Besides, they know super-secret grammaratic rules and how to use seismic colons, apostles, eclipses, and other important punctuation thingumajigs.

“I normally write about diversified subjects such as the possible blowback if an animal rights group should start protesting the use of seals as strike teams in the Middle East or the neighborhood ramifications of the persistent critter-gang rumbles in our driveway: Ya know, deep stuff.”

She sputtered for a few moments and then let loose with an additional litany of colorful expletives usually associated with accidentally smacking one’s thumb with a claw hammer.

The outburst was followed by intense silence, then a quaffing noise accompanied by a dainty burp that morphed into an unseemly scream culminating with an uncultured slam of her receiver. I took the telephonic drama be a potential signal of her displeasure with my response.

I sat for a moment contemplating what would make a grandam flatline her vocabulary like that? Why yowl at me? It wasn’t my fault people had to choose between filling up their rigs or buying a new Lexus. Nor was I culpable in the fact that some of our leaders seem to be as ineffective as pottedplants when it comes to passing bipartisan legislation.

In fact, I called a couple of influential politicians last year catechizing them as to why they can’t find firm common ground to stand on rather than to stubbornly sink into the mire of discordance where everyone loses.

Their response was the same as a gentleman would get popping two Tic-Tacs rather than a Viagra.

Needless to say, the caller got my attention and I started to ponder if I should take my freelancing more seriously and leap into the hard-journalism fray real reporters confront each day.

Should I set out on a course to encourage the discovery of the key to worldwide enlightenment as set forth in Dan Brown’s tome?

Nah, I’m still trying to figure out “The Da Vinci Code” and the strange symbols I noticed in our shower curtain after I finished the book.

I sure as heck don’t want to seriously bounce around in the political arena. Even old Diogenes might run out of lantern fuel searching for a wise public figure in D.C. So, I think I’ll stick with pondering the potential of stories from people whom, on occasion, contact me after quaffing the better part of a pony keg to query if I’d like the skinny on the trials and tribulations of raising pet naked mole rats or the latest sightings of Sasquatch on the Kenai Peninsula.

It’s the sort of stuff that makes writing fun and keeps the trolls mumbling under their bridges.

Nick can be reached at ncvarney@gmail. com if he’s not too engrossed in mulling over the swirls in his shower curtain again.

What is an academy?

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, chose a mule for its mascot because mules were used for hauling gear for the Army. In 1936, Mr. Jackson (named for Stonewall Jackson, a Confederate general during the Civil War) arrived at West Point.

Today, members Paladin, the Army’s newest mule mascot. of the Mule Corps take turns participating in parades, sporting events and other ceremonies for the Army.

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, chose the black bear as its mascot in 1926.

Eco Note Organic farming is a method of farming without chemicals. Organic farmers use manure and crop waste to fertilize the soil instead of chemical fertilizers. Different crops are grown in fields each year. This practice, called crop rotation, helps restore nutrients to the soil. These farmers encourage pesteating predators such as ladybugs to control insects, rather than spraying with pesticides.

“the enemy.” She will speak to me, but it’s just barebones conversation. I have never stopped loving her.

Should I ask her to dinner or just let things be? — STILL LOVIN’ MY EX DEAR STILL LOVIN’: I wish you had mentioned

DEAR ABBY: We live in the downstairs apartment of an old Victorian house that has been converted into three separate apartments. We try to be good neighbors and do our part keeping up with our neighborly duties. However,

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 3, 2019: This year, you will head in a new direction. Your willingness to blaze a new trail emerges. If single, you might decide to go for a different type. Enjoy it. If attached, you often focus on your personal life and loved ones. Your caring becomes more and more important. AQUARIUS can be rigid but open at the same time.

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You have been inordinately busy, yet you finally make time for your personal priorities. Some of you will hang out with a friend, others will take their family on a day trip and still others will have even better ideas. As you reinforce your relationships, you feel far more connected. Tonight: Staying up late.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Step up to the plate when responsibilities seem to tumble on your shoulders.

You could be having a difficult period as you try to figure out what is going on. Touch base with an older friend or relative. Your efforts mean a lot to them. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You have been very intense about a personal matter that demands a lot of your time. Use today to relax. Take off for a daytrip to a preferred area. Or make plans to visit with friends. The change of scenery recharges your energy. Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH A loved one can be, and probably is, unusually demanding. Rather than lose your temper, be grateful that you have this person in your life. As difficult as this person can be, he or she genuinely cares about you.

One-on-one relating brings more intensity to your bond. Tonight: Be a couple.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You have been so busy running around and doing your thing or handling a problem. Ask your sweetie or dear friend how he or she would most like to spend the day. Do just that. Tonight: Enjoy the caring between you and another person.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

lately we’ve been finding ourselves the only ones doing our part.

Every Sunday evening, we roll out the garbage, recycling and compost bins for the Monday morning pickup. Currently, there is only one other tenant living here, a man who has been here for more than a year.

Not once has he bothered to roll out these carts that he uses as well. How should we handle this without coming off as nagging or rude? — PEEVED IN PORTLAND, ORE. DEAR PEEVED: Your neighbor isn’t a mind-reader.

He may think you are doing

HHHH Finally, you feel liberated and free.

Others note your newfound liveliness. Let go, whether with friends, family and/or loved ones. Indirectly, you recharge and gain a better sense of direction because you are not overthinking. Tonight: Go with spontaneity.

4 7 8

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might be dragging your heels as you are not sure which invitation to accept or with whom you would be most content. Be spontaneous; it naturally suits you. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your personality dominates right now. Others become highly responsive as they seek out answers and ideas. Enjoy the moment and relish your popularity. A friend plays a significant role in your plans. Tonight: You make the call.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You have been focused and busy the past few days. You need time off from your hectic schedule and busy pace. Why not take some time to do just what you want? Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

I get comments such as, “Hey, how’s that degree working for you?” and “Are you ever going to use your degree?” and “Do you regret going to law school?” I find it really annoying. How can I put a stop to it? — NOT A LAWYER AND FINE DEAR NOT A LAWYER: Tell these “curious” individuals that you do not regret going to law school because knowledge of the law is valuable when it’s applied to other fields. As to how that degree is working for you, tell the questioner it’s working so well you are now considering going for a degree in astrophysics.

You need some long overdue downtime. What you do with this time is up to you. Make it leisurely and relaxing. Go with a loved to the movies; read your Sunday paper. Tonight: Keep the theme going.

DEAR ABBY: I graduated from law school several years ago. I didn’t pass the bar, and I now have a non-lawrelated job. I am fine with it, and I really do not aspire to be in the field of law. My parents didn’t help me with law school tuition, nor am I saddled with debt.

My problem is, some family members — and a few acquaintances — seem to think me almost a novelty.

DEAR ABBY: My 10-year-old son is behaviorally challenged and receives special education services at school.

He is in the fourth grade.

Since the beginning of the school year he has been bullied by a girl in his class. She intentionally embarrasses him and makes fun of him in front of his classmates or when the teacher isn’t looking. His reaction to her bullying gets him in trouble. Unfortunately, they don’t see what she’s doing that causes it. My son gets put into isolation at school, but seldom does she have any consequences for the bullying because she’s discreet.

I have talked with his teacher, his counselor, special education coordinator, vice principal and the principal.

Their only focus is my son’s behavior/ reaction. They don’t address the issue of the girl bullying him. I tell him to ignore her, tell his teacher, tell the vice principal, but my advice has changed nothing. I don’t know what

If they were uncooperative, I’d then address my concerns to the school board in my community. And, if nothing changed, I would contact an attorney who specializes in cases of discrimination.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Use innate stress to push yourself a little harder than usual.

You will love the end results. Once you get going, you achieve far more than you thought possible. A loved one or partner starts reflecting your energy. Tonight: Hang with your friends.

FAST FACTS

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Reach out for someone at a distance who you care about.

You wonder about the best way to handle a problem; verbalize what the issue might be. Creativity surges if you open up to a solution.

Tonight: Break a pattern.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH One-on-one relating can push your interests ahead. You could want to do something very different. Lighten up and proceed on a new path. You will gain another person’s support once he or she sees the results! Tonight: Be a team.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Be more forthright and direct in your choices. You could be met with equal clarity, which will benefit you far more than you think.

With others, you could manifest a long-term goal or idea. Tonight: Off with friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HH Pace yourself. You sense a high amount of volatility and

HHHH Your creativity remains high. No matter what occurs, you find a solution. A child, new love interest or an unusually wild idea could punctuate your day. Complete what has to be done. Tonight: Slow down gradually.

ADDING SOMEONE TO YOUR DEED Dear Heloise: If someone you know is thinking of adding a person to the deed on their home, they should stop and think. First, it should never be done without the legal advice and assistance of a lawyer. Once you add someone, it’s very difficult to remove the person from your deed. If he or she has financial troubles later, a claim can be made against part or all of your house. Some states allow the other person to sell the share of ownership to a total stranger. My husband and I discovered all this the hard way. — Brenda and Doug in Florida

Rubes | Leigh Rubin

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Many people turn to you for various reasons. If you have a project or an important meeting, you will have to work at not being distracted by others. You seek unusual information, and it will come toward you. Tonight: As you like it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Pressure builds around the homefront. You might have different ideas from a friend or loved one. This energy also could be focused on a property investment.

You might need some time to do research and come to a viable conclusion. Tonight: Time to be frisky.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You see a lot going on around you that up until now has been close to invisible. You might think a friend is acting in an overly pushy manner. Both of you have a lot of strength and drive. Tonight: Go with spontaneity.

STORING WINES

Dear Heloise: I’m having a debate with my husband about storing wine. What are some of the do’s and don’ts? — Wynona D., Evansville, Ind. Wynona, a wine rack sitting on a kitchen counter might look cool, but actually, wine should not be stored in the warmest room in the house, where heat can ruin the wine’s taste. You also need to keep the bottles still, with no vibrations, so on top of the refrigerator is a no-no. Overall, wines need to be kept in a cool, dry place with little or no sunlight. — Heloise

MAKEUP HINTS Dear Heloise: Moisturizers are designed to keep moisture in the skin, not necessarily to add moisture.

The main function is to keep your skin from drying out. It does that by retaining water in the outer layer of your skin. And, many moisturizers also include sunblock to help protect against skin cancer. When selecting a moisturizer, always look for one that is fragrance-free. — Karen G., Concord, N.H.

Monday’s answers, 10-28

HHH The costs of handling a personal matter could be far greater than you anticipated. Get to the bottom of the problem before making any decisions. This issue could be coloring your outlook. Tonight: Your treat.

Tonight: As you like it.

This year, you make a difference.

Others find you more determined than ever. Your focus will be on investments, property and family. If single, do not jump to the conclusion that someone is “the one” until you have been with him or her for a year. It might take that long to really know this person. If attached, the two of you might decide to invest in a new home or a new addition to the family. You will build on your assets this year. AQUARIUS is tenacious like you but not as possessive.
