In the news Parnell, Walker trade barbs during debate JUNEAU (AP) — Gov. Sean Parnell and independent candidate Bill Walker traded barbs during a televised debate late Sunday. Walker sought to cast Parnell as slow to respond to allegations of sexual assault and other misconduct within the Alaska National Guard, a characterization that Parnell vigorously disputed. Parnell, meanwhile, asked Walker what deal he cut with Democrats to have Bryon Mallott join Walker’s ticket. Mallott, who won the Democratic primary for governor, later became Walker’s running mate as part of a “unity ticket” widely seen as providing a tougher challenge to Parnell. Walker said there was no deal, and said he was sorry that Parnell couldn’t fathom him and Mallott agreeing to put party interests aside for the good of Alaska. The debate was one of the last before the Nov. 4 election.

A proposed hydro project on the Susitna River is the impetus for substantial fisheries research, but state and federal interests have disagreed on components of the first year of work. The Alaska Energy Authority held a meeting on the fisheries studies Oct. 15, and provided an opportunity for federal scientists and members of the public to comment on the work that has been done so far, and what is planned for the second year of studies. Federal energy regulators will be tasked with sorting out the disagreements regarding the work that has been done, and must approve of the secondyear plan before it can begin. The proposed Susitna-Watana project would be a 735-foot dam, with a 600-megawatt capacity, expected to supply about half of the Railbelt energy demand, according to AEA. As part of the licensing process for the proposed dam, the energy authority has had to study the various resources that could be impacted by such a project, including fish. The first year of studies was conducted in 2013, and AEA filed its initial study report regarding that work in June 2014. Under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s timeline, the second year of studies will be conducted in 2015, although research was conducted this past summer. AEA said at the October meeting that it would provide more information on some studies by the end of November. Over the winter, AEA and the licensing partners, including

With less that two weeks left until the Nov. 4 general election, Cordova-born Robert “Moose” Henrichs is busy spreading the word that he is running as a candidate for Senate District P against Sen. Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak. “Things are going well,” Henrichs, who describes himself as a “conservative Democrat,” told the Homer News by phone last week. He just finished a visit to Stevens’ home turf in Kodiak to attend a U.S. Coast Guard appreciation dinner. “What a lot of people don’t realize is that my father came to Alaska in the Coast Guard,” said Henrichs of his father, the late Hollis Henrichs, who settled in Cordova and was that city’s postmaster for 35 years. His mother, Rose Metvetnekoff, was born in Nuchek. In addition to attending the Coast Guard function, the visit to Kodiak was

an opportunity for Henrichs to leave his mark. “I think (Stevens) was shocked when he returned to Kodiak because I had signs at the airport,” said Henrichs. It also was an opportunity for the two candidates to meet. “I’ve got nothing against Gary. I think he’s a good man, but I think we need to ratchet back on the spending or we’re going to go broke,” said Henrichs. This isn’t the first election in which the two candidates have run against each other. In the 2012 general election, Henrichs and Stevens vied for the District R Senate seat. Stevens won with 69.76 percent of the vote and Henrichs drew 29.79 percent. A former Cordova City Council member, Henrichs has served as president of the Native Village of Eyak for 20 years. He is a founding director of the Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corporation, a director of Chugachmiut and a former chairman of Chugach Alaska. He serves as a director of the See HENRICHS, page A-10 C M

Stevens familiar to Peninsula By McKIBBEN JACKINSKY Morris News Service-Alaska/Homer News

Sen. Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, was in Homer recently to meet with voters of the recently formed Senate District P, a product of redistricting. While the district’s boundaries may be new — they encompass House Districts 31 and 32, including the southern Kenai Peninsula and stretching southwest to Kodiak and southeast to Prince William Sound — Stevens is a familiar face. He represented the southern peninsula until 2012. “The district has a lot more in common,” said Stevens of District P. “From Kodiak through Homer, including Seldovia, and into the Prince William Sound area it’s all coastal, all fisheriesoriented.” District P stretches up to the central Kenai Peninsula, including Kasilof. Stevens served in the House of Representatives from 2001-2003. He has served in the Senate since then and was Senate President from 2009-2012. Of the long list of committees on which

he has served, Stevens’ most recent assignments include the World Trade Committee, the Legislative Council Joint Committee and the Education Committee. “Education is right down my alley,” said Stevens, retired after 25 years as a University of Alaska professor of history and communications. He emphasized the importance of early education, specifically pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, reading and the pupil-to-teacher ratio. Although Alaska has not accepted “Common Core,” an initiative that sets nationwide standards for language and math, the state has developed its own version that attempts to address specific state needs. “The reason to have standards is to make sure kids who graduate from high school in Alaska are capable of being competitive with anyone else anywhere in the world, making sure our kids are ready to go out to college or the job market and are up to speed.” See STEVENS, page A-10

Govs’ struggles could hurt GOP Senate hopes By CHARLES BABINGTON and CHRISTINA A. CASSIDY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — As David Perdue campaigns throughout Georgia, the Republican candidate for Senate describes a struggling economy and people yearning for good jobs. It’s not the emphasis that his fellow Republican, Gov. Nathan Deal, wants to hear. Deal is battling for re-election while Democrats emphasize the economy and remind Georgians that they have the nation’s highest unemployment rate. Georgia isn’t the only state where a governor on the ballot could conceivably undermine his party’s Senate nominee, or vice versa. Strong governorsenator links are by no means certain. But even a small drag could affect the GOP’s bid to gain six new Senate seats and take control. Perdue constantly criticizes President Barack Obama, as do Republican Senate candidates in every contested race. Much of the criticism focuses on the economy, and Perdue portrays himself as a better job-creator than Michelle Nunn, his Democratic opponent. Deal, meanwhile, talks of a brightening economic picture as he tries to hold off Democrat Jason Carter, grandson of former President Jimmy Carter. “This is a state that is certainly rebounding,” Deal tells voters. He says Georgia is rated “the best state in the nation in which to do business.” Democratic consultant Tharon Johnson says Perdue and Deal are sending a mixed message that’s likely to confuse, and possibly turn off, voters. “Deal talks about Georgia being number one for business, and that may be true,” Johnson said. “But we’re also 50th in unemployment. Perdue touts his business acumen, but he outsourced jobs. There’s a disconnect.” At least three other states have embattled governors whose campaigns possibly could hurt their party’s Senate C

Minnesota company to offer 3-D printed urns

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota startup is using a 3-D printer to create custom urns shaped like objects that were important to the person whose remains they hold. The Eden Prairie-based Foreverence offers urns that are made with a ceramic material that looks different than the plastic material typically produced by a 3-D printer. The process takes nearly an entire day, starting with about nine hours of printing, and then followed by several hours of touchups, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. Each urn is unique and can take the form of just about anything, including ballet slippers, cars and instruments. “I’m fascinated by the endless possibilities,” company CEO Pete Saari said. It has even made an urn shaped like the signature hats worn by rock band Devo when

co-founder Bob Casale died earlier this year. Foreverence offered Casale’s family the urn and ended up making two for them. Casale’s family told the company that it was “the first joyous moment in a dark period of time for them,” Saari said. Foreverence sells its urns, which typically cost thousands of dollars, through funeral directors. “We want funeral directors to keep conversations focused on legacy,” said Saari, whose privately held company launched five months ago. “What was important to the deceased? What was symbolic of a life, a dream, the pursuit of a passion?” The urn is created by a ceramic-composite material that’s fed into the 3-D printer in a powdered form. Its shape gradually takes form with coloring that bonds each layer together, and staff members put the final touches on the urns.

Maine bear vote draws attention By PATRICK WHITTLE Associated Press

WILTON, Maine — In Maine, a hunter can shoot a bear while it’s nose-deep in a barrel of doughnuts, after it’s been chased up a tree with dogs, or when it’s snared in a cable trap — but that could change in days, and hunters and animal rights advocates around the country are watching. Bears are hunted in 32 states but Maine has the most permissive rules. It is the only one that allows hunters to use three methods — bait, dogs and traps — decried by animal rights groups and targeted by a Nov. 4 ballot proposal that would ban them all. National hunting groups oppose the ban because they believe it could set a precedent that prompts other states to try to roll back hunting rights. Some animal rights activists see it as a dress rehearsal for referendums in other states that allow hunting methods they perceive as cruel. The referendum has prompted a spirited fight within the state, where proponents of the ban say the food habituates bears to humans, which can lead to dangerous encounters. They also decry the three methods as unsportsmanlike. But opponents say the methods are necessary to control Maine’s growing bear population, which has risen to about 30,000, up about 30 percent from ten years ago. Campaigns supporting and

opposing the ban have both raised more than $1 million. The Ohio-based U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance has donated more than $100,000 to Save Maine’s Bear Hunt, which seeks to defeat the referendum, said Evan Heusinkveld, a spokesman for the group. “It’s a direct threat to the future of hunting in Maine and across the country,” Heusinkveld said. “We want to see the longtime professionals in the state be able to manage the bear population.” State wildlife biologists also oppose the ban and have campaigned against it. Maine wildlife division director Judy Camuso said passage of the ban would mean a larger bear population that would create more competition for resources, meaning more bears starve and range into residential settings in search of food. “What I really don’t want is people’s primary interaction with a black bear to be that of a nuisance,” Camuso said. Using bait — typically sugary human food such as doughnuts — is by far the most common method of bear hunting, accounts for about four-fifths of the hunt, and is the most debated of the three methods. Supporters of the proposal say the use of bait has actually abetted the state’s growing bear population. Dumping thousands of pounds of human food into the woods — one oftcited estimate says it’s about 7 million pounds per year — has

created a well-fed bear population that reproduces more frequently, said Katie Hansberry, campaign director for Mainers for Fair Bear Hunting. She said that’s also why nuisance bear encounters have increased about 25 percent, to about 500 per year, since a decade ago. “It’s the absolute worst way to manage bears if you want to minimize conflicts with people,” Hansberry said. People have hunted bears in Maine for hundreds of years — an article on a Maine Historical Society website details Native Americans’ reliance on bears for food more than 1,200 years ago. Today, Maine is the only state that allows all three hunting methods, and the only state that allows trapping, typically with foothold snares. Hunting without the three methods, which proponents of the ban call “fair chase,” would remain legal if the referendum passes. Twelve states allow bear baiting — with different degrees of restrictions — and of those, Maine, Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Michigan, Wisconsin and New Hampshire also allow hunting with dogs, or “hounding.” Eleven other states allow hounding but not baiting. Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon and Colorado voters rolled back hunting methods via referendum in the

1990s. Many hunters say the ban would devastate Maine outfitters and guides who rely on the fall bear hunt to bring in out-ofstate tourism dollars. “If this thing passes, you won’t have to worry about them coming back,” said Bob Parker, owner of Stony Brook Outfitters, motioning to a group of about 20 out-of-state hunters at his Wilton lodge. “I’ll be out of business. There’s just no way to keep the doors open.” The Virginia-based People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and Connecticutbased Friends of Animals are also monitoring the results of the referendum, in the hopes that it will drum up anti-baiting sentiment in other states. “Having these exceptionally cruel practices like baiting and trapping in the news helps to bring them to people across the country, who will want to see them banned,” said campaign specialist Ashley Byrne.

What Others Say

Putin’s antics wearing thin with Europe’s leaders When George W. Bush proposed pulling

U.S. bases out of Germany and moving them farther east to Poland and Romania, the plan got a chilly reception with the U.S. public and Congress. The move was meant as a cost-saver, and a welcoming and less crowded Eastern Europe offered plenty of room for maneuvers. Bush also intended the bases as a shield against the problematic attack by Iranian missiles. But Bush’s credibility was at low ebb. Russia was in economic shambles and posed little immediate threat. Now large, permanent NATO bases in Eastern Europe don’t seem such a bad idea, particularly now that Russian President Vladimir Putin has annexed Crimea, seems bent on reducing Eastern Ukraine to vassal status and cowing Poland into weakening its commitment to NATO. As Russia’s economy sinks deeper into recession, more because of falling oil prices than Western sanctions, Putin reflexively blames all of Russia’s woes on the West. Then there is the problem of Putin himself. His behavior is increasingly erratic, and although this might be a tactic to keep the West off balance, his actions have surely started to worry his acolytes in the Kremlin. He kept, for example, West German Chancellor Angela Merkel waiting for a meeting in Milan. As a former KGB agent in East Germany, he must have been aware that this was a horrendous breach of protocol. The New York Times commented that “Mr. Putin’s showmanship appears to be wearing thin with Europe’s leaders.” Poland’s current leadership is formally opposed to a permanent NATO base on its soil, preferring a quick reaction force based somewhere else. That will change in a hurry if Russia, as it surely will to distract from domestic problems, begins to meddle in Polish affairs. — The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tennessee, Oct. 22

The poll tax that wasn’t

When the Supreme Court rejected a petition to stop a Texas voter-ID law from going into effect for the midterms, the left commenced its wailing and gnashing of teeth. In her dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called the law “purposely discriminatory,” and everyone piled in behind her with denunciations of the Lone Star State’s blatant racism. For the left, voter ID is tantamount to a poll tax. If so, the nation is awash in neosegregationist election rules. According to a recent Government Accountability Office report on voter-ID laws, 33 states now have them. A valid ID is a necessity of modern life, and requiring one to vote hardly seems an undue imposition. Especially if you are willing to give one out gratis. Of the 17 states that have strict requirements for a photo or government-issued ID, the GAO notes, 16 provide a free ID to eligible voters. The critics complain that people may not have the relevant underlying documents to get the free ID, and there is a cost to obtaining them. Well, yes. In Indiana, for instance, it costs $10 to obtain a birth certificate. In Arkansas, it costs $12. In North Dakota, $7. The GAO report focuses on the voterID states of Kansas and Tennessee, where voters whose eligibility to vote is in doubt may vote provisionally. Then they have a period after the election to establish their

eligibility. How many voters are showing up to vote, only to be foiled by the ID requirement? According to the GAO, in Kansas in 2012, 1,115,281 ballots were cast. There were 38,865 provi- Rich Lowry sional ballots, and of these, 838 were cast for voter-ID reasons. In Tennessee, 2,480,182 ballots were cast. There were 7,089 provisional ballots, and of these, 673 were cast for voter-ID reasons. In both states, about 30 percent of these voter-ID-related provisional ballots were ultimately accepted. That means in Kansas and Tennessee, altogether about 1,000 ballots weren’t counted (and perhaps many of them for good reason) out of roughly 3.5 million cast. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, voter suppression! It is of such stuff that Jim Crow was made. Indeed, voter ID is a scheme to suppress minority votes so nefarious that its effect can’t reliably be detected by the tools of social science. As a study last December in Political Research Quarterly notes, the idea that voter ID suppresses minority turnout “is strongly suggested in political discourse but lacks a strong empirical basis.” The analysis by the study’s authors concluded that “more stringent ID requirements for voting have no deterring effect

on individual turnout across different racial and ethnic groups.” For its part, the GAO used “a quasi-experimental analysis” to find that voter ID suppressed turnout in Kansas and Tennessee, and that the effect was larger among African-American voters, but not AsianAmericans or Hispanics. The states dispute the methodology. Where you come down on this issue depends on whether you think it’s reasonable to require the minimal effort to establish your identity when voting. The critics say that in-person voter fraud is extremely rare, although that is not an argument for leaving the system completely open to it. Is voting so important that it shouldn’t be tethered to an ID requirement? It takes an ID to buy a gun, a constitutional right. It takes an ID to get a marriage license or check into a hotel. Voting is inevitably going to entail, even in the most latitudinarian system, some effort. You have to, at least most of the time, go to the polling place. You have to fill out the ballot correctly. You might have to deposit it in a box. Not all people will go to the trouble to do this, or to do it properly, which doesn’t mean they are disenfranchised. The irony is that unhinged complaints about voter ID are, in this supposedly troubling new era of the poll tax, a turnout tool.

Voters should consider judge despite oversight I am writing in support of Palmer’s Judge Estelle, up for retention vote this election cycle. Over the years I have met several people who have worked professionally with my uncle. They have all raved about what a good and fair judge he is and how much they enjoyed working with him. However, there is an official recommendation against his retention based on a clerical error from a couple years ago. When Judge Estelle realized he had signed off on his pay affidavits with two cases still overdue, he self-reported the error. In his 11 years on the bench, Judge Estelle has handled over 66,000 cases; these two cases represented .00003 percent of the cases he’s handled. Judge Estelle provided “full and free disclosure” to the Judicial Conduct Commission and cooperated with their investigation. After a two-day hearing, the Judicial Conduct Commission found that Judge Estelle did not act intentionally and did not know the pay affidavits were inaccurate at the time he signed them. The Commission found that Judge Estelle had “excellent character,” was “precise and thorough in his work and has a good legal mind” and was “remorseful.” Judge Estelle at his own expense took a seminar in case flow management to ensure this never happened again. Judge Estelle made a mistake and accepted responsibility for it. Vote “yes” to retain Judge Estelle. Renee Estelle Kenai

During the assembly Coach Riddall shared the importance of goal setting and perseverance toward achieving that goal. Coach Riddall also shared that his players are proud of the academic award they have received each year. Players talked to our students about the importance of reading and shared a favorite book they had read as an elementary student. Nikiski North Star students were treated to a special cheer from the players and they loved parading through the tunnel the players made. There were high fives abound!

Nation & World

3 fight for lives after shooting

Around the World Pro-Western parties seen leading Ukraine parliamentary vote KIEV, Ukraine — Ukrainians overwhelmingly voted in several pro-Western parties in a landmark parliamentary election Sunday, another nudge in the former Soviet nation’s drift away from Russia. Two exit polls released as voting closed indicated that President Petro Poroshenko’s party will secure a narrow win in the parliamentary election, falling substantially short of an outright majority. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s Popular Front followed closely. Although they lead rival parties, Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk share pro-Western postures and have campaigned on reform agendas aimed at pulling Ukraine back from the brink of economic ruin. The parties are expected to join forces with similarly reform-oriented groups to form a broad pro-European coalition. Talking to supporters at his party headquarters, a visibly ebullient Poroshenko said coalition talks will start Monday and will last no longer than 10 days. Almost three million people were unable to vote in eastern regions still gripped with unrest as government troops continue to wage almost daily battle against pro-Russian separatists.

Sour US-Cuba relations make identifying bodies found at sea difficult MIAMI (AP) — The bodies surfaced 20 miles out from a popular South Florida beach: Four men, still youthful. Their remains were badly deteriorated, bitten by sharks, their faces unrecognizable. One had a horseshoe-shaped scar on his head. Two bore tattoos: One of a spider, the other of a tiger with a flower. The fourth wore a pair of orange briefs and a gold-colored watch. The Coast Guard delivered them to the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office, where they remained for days, four more among the thousands who have died trying to cross the turbulent Florida Straits. The remains of rafters that surface near the U.S. are often in such poor condition they cannot be visually identified. Politics makes the process even more difficult with Cuban migrants: Because of the five-decade diplomatic stalemate between the U.S. and Cuba, pathologists can’t get matching dental records and DNA from relatives on the island. “The standard means of identification aren’t going to work,” said Larry Cameron, operations director for the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner Department.

New home test for colon cancer shakes up screening; first to look for DNA in stool

A-5

Starting Monday, millions of people who have avoided colon cancer screening can get a new home test that’s noninvasive and doesn’t require the icky preparation most other methods do. The test is the first to look for cancer-related DNA in stool. But deciding whether to get it is a more complex choice than ads for “the breakthrough test ... that’s as easy as going to the bathroom” make it seem. On one hand, the test could greatly boost screening for a deadly disease that too few people get checked for now. On the other hand, it could lure people away from colonoscopies and other tests that, unlike the new one, have been shown to save lives.

Trial starts for 4 FAMU band members charged in drum major’s hazing death ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida A & M University’s Marching 100 had played at a Super Bowl and before U.S. presidents. But one of the nation’s most-celebrated marching bands had a dark secret: members were occasionally beaten with mallets, fists and drumsticks in a hazing initiation known as “crossing” Bus C. The trial of four band members is scheduled to start Monday on charges of felony hazing and manslaughter, almost three years after drum major Robert Champion died from being beaten during that ritual. His death shone a spotlight on hazing at FAMU and other colleges, caused the band to be suspended for over a year and contributed to the resignation of FAMU’s president. Hours after a football game in Orlando in November 2011, band members boarded Bus C parked outside a hotel. They pummeled Champion, 26, and two other band members as they tried to wade their way through a pounding gauntlet of fists, drumsticks and mallets from the front to the back of the bus. After making it to the back, Champion vomited and complained of trouble breathing. He soon fell unconscious and couldn’t be revived. He died from hemorrhagic shock and his autopsy showed extensive internal bleeding. Fifteen former band members originally were charged with manslaughter and hazing in the death of Champion, of Decatur, Georgia. All but the four remaining defendants have had their cases settled, and several of them will be called as witnesses to describe what happened on the bus.

MARYSVILLE, Wash. — Three students fought for their lives in Seattle-area hospitals Sunday, days after being shot in the head during an attack at a high school on Washington’s Puget Sound. The close-knit community, meanwhile, on the nearby Tulalip Indian reservation struggled with the news that the shooter was a popular teenager from one of their more well-known families. A tribal guidance counsellor said no one knows what prompted 14-year-old Jaylen Fryberg to walk into a busy school lunchroom and open fire Friday. “We can’t answer that question,” said Matt Remle, who has an office at MarysvillePilchuck High School. “But we try to make sense of the senselessness.” Churches have held vigils since the attack that killed one student and wounded four others, including two of Fryberg’s cousins, and gatherings were planned Sunday afternoon in

the high school gym and at a tribal center. In the nearby community of Oso, where a mudslide this spring killed dozens, people planned to gather to write condolence letters and cards. Of the wounded students, only 14-year-old Nate Hatch showed improvement, though he remained in serious condition in intensive care at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Fifteen-year-old Andrew

Fryberg also remained in critical condition in intensive care. Both are cousins of Jaylen Fryberg. Meanwhile, 14-year-olds Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and Gia Soriano remained in critical condition in intensive care at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. The girl killed in the shooting hasn’t been officially identified. Fryberg died in the attack,

after a first-year teacher intervened. It’s unclear if he intentionally killed himself or if the gun went off in a struggle with teacher Megan Silberberger. The Snohomish County medical examiner’s office said it was unlikely to have autopsy results before Monday. Remele said he knew Fryberg and the other students well. “My office has been a comfort space for Native students,” he said. “Many will come by and have lunch there, including the kids involved in the shooting.” They all were “really happy, smiling kids,” Remle said. “They were a polite group. A lot of the kids from the freshman class were close-knit. Loving. “These were not kids who were isolated,” he said. “They had some amazing families, and have amazing families.” These factors make the shooting that much more difficult to deal with, “Maybe it would be easier if we knew the answer,” Remle said. “But we may never know.”

Expert argues against Ebola quarantine By FRANK ELTMAN Associated Press

NEW YORK — The gulf between politicians and scientists over Ebola widened on Sunday as the nation’s top infectiousdisease expert warned that the mandatory, 21-day quarantining of medical workers returning from West Africa is unnecessary and could discourage volunteers from traveling to the danger zone. “The best way to protect us is to stop the epidemic in Africa, and we need those health care workers, so we do not want to put them in a position where it makes it very, very uncomfortable for them to even volunteer to go,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Meanwhile, Kaci Hickox, the first nurse forcibly quarantined in New Jersey under the state’s new policy, said in a telephone interview with CNN that her isolation at a hospital was “inhumane,” adding: “We have to be very careful about letting politicians make health decisions.” Saying the federal health guidelines are inadequate, the governors of New York and New Jersey announced a mandatory quarantine program Friday for medical workers and other arriving airline passengers who have had contact with Ebola victims in West Africa, and Illinois soon followed suit. Twenty-one days is the incubation period for Ebola. New Jersey Gov. Chris

Christie on Sunday defended quarantining as necessary to protect the public and predicted it “will become a national policy sooner rather than later.” “I don’t believe when you’re dealing with something as serious as this that we can count on a voluntary system,” said Christie, who is expected to run for the Republican nomination for president in 2016. He added: “I absolutely have no second thoughts about it.” The Obama administration considers the policy in New York and New Jersey “not grounded in science” and has conveyed its concerns to Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said a senior administration official. The official wasn’t authorized to comment by name and insisted on anonymity. Fauci made the rounds on five major Sunday morning talk shows to argue that policy should be driven by science — and that science says people with the virus are not contagious until symptoms appear. And even then, infection requires direct contact with bodily fluids. He said that close monitoring of medical workers for symptoms is sufficient, and warned that forcibly separating them from others, or quarantining them, for three weeks could cripple the fight against the outbreak in West Africa — an argument that humanitarian medical organizations have also made. “If we don’t have our people volunteering to go over there, then you’re going to have other

Spirits move ‘Ouija’ to No. 1 at box office NEW YORK — The spirits moved “Ouija” to No. 1 at the box office, with the board-game adaption leading the weekend with a $20 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday. The horror movie release, timed to Halloween, attracted more moviegoers at the North America box office than the violent Keanu Reeves thriller “John Wick.” The R-rated hitman revenge tale from Lionsgate opened with $14.2 million in second place. Last week’s top film, the Brad Pitt World War II action film “Fury,” slid to third with $13 million. In two weeks, the Sony Pictures release has made $46.1 million. Board-game adaptions such as “Ouija” have had a checkered history at the box office, with the big-budget “Battleship” — the last Hasbro game turned into a movie — famously flopping in 2012. But “Ouija,” made by Blumhouse Productions and released by Universal Pictures, was made for just $5 million, and scared up moviegoers with a microbudget summoning of brand-name occult. Universal also could claim the top spot in the world’s other top market, China, where the Scarlett Johansson scifi film “Lucy” opened with $19 million. Since opening in July, “Lucy” has made $434 million worldwide, proving the global appeal of Johansson. — The Associated Press C

countries that are not going to do it and then the epidemic will continue to roar,” Fauci said. Christie, traveling the country as head of the Republican Governors Association, said he was not worried that quarantining might discourage volunteers. Other than saying last week that those under quarantine could be confined to their homes or medical facilities, Christie and Cuomo have given no details on how the measure would be enforced and what would happen to those who refused to cooperate. But Cuomo, who is up for reelection next week, said the order is legally enforceable, and expressed confidence that medical professionals would go along.

Earlier this month, four members of a family in Texas that Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan stayed with before he died were confined to their home under armed guard after failing to comply with a request not to leave their apartment. Also, 75 Dallas hospital workers were asked to sign legally binding documents in which they agreed not go to public places or use mass transit. The New York-area quarantine measures were announced after Dr. Craig Spencer returned to New York City from treating Ebola victims in Guinea for Doctors Without Borders and was admitted to Bellevue Hospital Center last Thursday to be treated for Ebola.

Stars, Kardinals populate All-State team Soldotna, Kenai each get 2 Players of Year, and 3 of those 4 are juniors By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The good news for Soldotna and Kenai Central is all four of the major player awards went to the Stars and Kardinals in medium-schools AllState balloting announced Sunday. The even better news for the central Peninsula’s Northern Lights Conference squads is that three of the four will be back to lead their teams again next year. The Stars, owners an Alaska-record seven state football championships, a record-tying 29 straight victories and nine-straight NLC titles, had junior Drew Gibbs win Offensive Player of the Year and junior Trevor Walden win Defensive Player of the Year. Galen Brantley Jr. was Coach of the Year for SoHi, while the Stars’ Eric Pomerleau was Assistant Coach of the Year. Kenai junior lineman Zack Koziczkowski was Lineman of the Year, while Kards senior Kyle Foree was Utility Player of the Year. Soldotna was well-represented on both teams, with six players on firstteam offense, five players on first-team defense and two specialists. North Pole, which lost to SoHi in the state final, had three on offense and two on defense. Kenai had two on offense, three on defense and two specialists, while Juneau-Douglas had one on offense and three on defense. Gibbs was a first-team running back and outside linebacker for the secondstraight year. He had 112 carries for 982 yards and an 8.8 average. He caught four passes for 162 yards and had a total of 18 touchdowns. Brantley Jr. said the offense was built around Gibbs, who more often than not got the ball when the Stars needed a few key yards. “He’s such a physical athlete,” Brantley Jr. said. “He’s a 210-pound running back with a very powerful lower body. “He’s going to run through arm tackles and even if it’s not blocked perfect he will get you 3 or 4 yards.” On defense, Gibbs had 24 assists, 13 tackles, five tackles for loss, one

forced fumble and one fumble recovered. Brantley Jr. said Gibbs’ stats weren’t crazy on defense because his main job is to turn runners back inside. Walden was first team at interior lineman and second team at tight end. He had 24 tackles, 15 assists, eight tackles for loss and four sacks. Brantley Jr. said Walden lined up at the point of attack for every offense the Stars saw. “Trevor’s very gifted and he’s an awesome young guy as well,” the coach said. “He’s a real technically solid football player. “When he’s anchored in that offtackle hole, it really makes things difficult.” Brantley Jr. said he views the coaching awards as more of an award to the whole staff of nine assistants. “For me, I accept this award with all those guys that spend time away from their families, sleep on the floor in the summer and keep the weight room open in the summer,” Brantley Jr. said. Koziczkowski was first team at guard and interior lineman. Kenai coach John Marquez said the lineman put on about 40 pounds in the offseason and it showed on the field. “He got bigger, faster stronger and he was able to do things on the football field most people can’t do,” Marquez said. “He was one guy we left by himself a lot. He didn’t need anybody else to help him.” Foree got the nod for his versatility. According to Marquez, he played running back and had 500 yards rushing and seven scores, wide receiver and had 200 yards receiving and two scores, quarterback, outside linebacker, free safety, cornerback, kickoff returner and punt returner. “He played each position very well,” Marquez said. “That’s difficult to do.” The efficiency of senior quarterback Brooks Furlong put him on the first team. He was 48 of 77 for 778 yards with 11 touchdowns and no interceptions. Brantley Jr. said there’s a reason he rushed for just 164 yards. “We needed him to be able to win,” the coach said. “We didn’t run him as

much because we didn’t think we had the depth we had in past years. “He was very capable of doing either. In the state game, when we needed yards, he proved he could tuck and go. I don’t think we win the state title without Brooks Furlong.” Senior Ty Fenton was the first-team fullback, carrying 74 times for 815 yards, an average of 11.0 carry. He also caught four balls for 54 yards and had nine touchdowns. Three years ago, Fenton’s future was in question due to a football concussion and a hockey concussion. But Brantley Jr. said he was able to play a tough position without incident. “He’s either getting the ball or faking like he’s getting it, so he’s getting hit every single play,” the coach said. “He was the best faker and constantly drawing a crowd.” Senior Matt Trammell made the first team at tackle. Brantley Jr. said the first-year starter improved immensely going through four years of the program. “He blossomed into an outstanding football player,” the coach said. Junior Austin Crowder was first team at guard. Brantley Jr. said SoHi’s guards have to be athletic, and the 195-pound Crowder is one of the fastest players on the team. “The kid is tougher than nails,” the coach said. “He’d be a fullback in an I offense.” Brantley Jr. said Dalton Best’s improvement in the weight room the past two seasons landed him on the first team at center. “He’s probably our biggest, strongest player,” the coach said of the 260-pound junior. “Whenever there’s one-on-one situations, he always seems to come out on top.” A stirring end to the season put senior Drew Fowler on the team at inside linebacker. Fowler had 50 assists, 27 tackles, nine tackles for loss, a sack and an interception. In SoHi’s complicated defensive scoring system, he was the leader in points. But going against conference defensive players of the year at inside linebacker, Fowler needed something special to make the first team. “He played his best two games in

the last two games of the season,” Brantley Jr. said. “He played himself into being all-state.” Senior Tim Duke made the first team at defensive back and return specialist. Duke was carted off the field after a scary hit against Juneau in the state semifinals, and the players wore his number on the back of their helmets in the championship game. Brantley Jr. said Duke’s outstanding athleticism stood out. “He’s one you didn’t want to kick to,” the coach said. “He has an extra gear most kids at our level don’t have.” Senior Bailey Blumentritt also made first team at defensive back. He had 32 assists, 33 tackles and two interceptions. “He really solidified the secondary,” Brantley Jr. said. “We had a bunch of question marks there, and early on I think he even started out at outside linebacker.” SoHi’s final first-team player was senior kicker Bailey Jones. Brantley Jr. said Jones had a big playoffs, with four touchbacks in the title game to keep the ball from dangerous returners, and two deep kicks that led to scores in the semis. Besides Koziczkowski, Kenai’s other first-team offensive player was senior Chris Lawson at tackle. Marquez said Lawson was the verbal leader of the line. “He’s got great feet, long arms and a defensive mentality playing on the offensive side of the ball,” Marquez said. “He’s very physical when he has to be on offense.” On defense, senior Jace Baker made first team as outside linebacker, and he also was on the first team as punter. Baker had 18 sacks and was second on Kenai in tackles. “That’s outrageous, to have that many sacks and also anchor down the edge,” Marquez said. “He takes on offensive linemen like he’s a defensive lineman.” Senior Chase Logan made first team at inside linebacker and second team as a running back. Logan led the Kards in tackles and defensive points. “He’s a safety at the next level,”

Marquez said. “For him to play inside linebacker — he has to have the heart of a lion. “He was the voice of reason and rallied the team during adversity.” The final first team player for the Kards was Andrew Welborn at long snapper. “That’s a position that will win or lose you ballgames,” Marquez said. The coach said Welborn was flawless with his snaps all season. The small-schools all-state team also was selected on Sunday, but was not available as the Clarion went to press. 2014 All-State Football Team

Bumgarner puts Giants 1 win away from World Series BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — With every pitch, Madison Bumgarner etched his place among the World Series greats. The long, tall lefty kept slinging away and put the San Francisco Giants just one win from yet another championship, throwing a four-hitter to beat the Kansas City Royals 5-0 Sunday night for a 3-2 Series edge. Hardly menacing on the mound, Bumgarner was simply untouchable — again. As “MVP! MVP!” chants broke out from each packed corner of AT&T Park, Bumgarner finished off the first World Series shutout in 11 years. “You know what? For some reason, I keep getting really lucky this time of year, so I’ll take it,” Bumgarner said.

It must be more than luck. Because by the time the 25-year-old from Hickory, North Carolina, outdid his own winning performance in Game 1, he had evoked memories of Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, Curt Schilling and the top October aces of all-time. “Very humbling,” Bumgarner said. He certainly joined those names, and maybe even exceeded them. Who else has gone 4-0 in four World Series starts with an 0.29 ERA? Throw in only 12 hits in 31 innings, along with 27 strikeouts, and that math makes him the very definition of Big Game Pitcher. “He’s special, isn’t he?” manager Bruce Bochy said during a quiet moment in his office eating dinner. “What a stud.” Giants Hall of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal mingled in the

clubhouse, too, waiting his turn to congratulate the guy with the curly, stringy hair. “He’s so smooth. I say that he’s cold-blooded. When he’s on the mound, he dominates everybody. Everybody,” Marichal said. On this evening, Bumgarner fanned eight without a walk and never was in trouble as he constantly changed speeds, with no runners reaching third base. There hadn’t been a shutout in the Series since Josh Beckett’s clinching gem for the Florida Marlins in 2003 at Yankee Stadium. The Giants’ work isn’t done. To add to the crowns Bumgarner helped them take in 2010 and 2012, they’ll need to win in Kansas City. “We’re looking forward to getting back to our home crowd, where it’s going to be absolutely wild and crazy,” Royals man-

ager Ned Yost said. Jake Peavy gets the first chance to seal it for San Francisco when he starts Game 6 at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday night against rookie Yordano Ventura. If the Giants don’t win then, there is always this possibility: Bumgarner said he’s ready to come out of the bullpen in

Game 7. Hunter Pence once again was in the middle of things for Giants. He singled off James Shields in the second and scored on a groundout by Brandon Crawford, who had three RBIs. Later, the enigmatic Pence accidentally threw his bat past the mound while striking out, and

appeared to apologize to Shields. Pence added another hit in a three-run eighth, making him 9 for 19 in the five games. Postseason star Pablo Sandoval also singled twice. Juan Perez broke it open with a tworun double off the top of the center-field fence in the eighth against Wade Davis and scored on a single by Crawford.

Roethlisberger rolls up 6 TDs, 522 yards passing By The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger set franchise records with 522 yards passing and six touchdowns and the Pittsburgh Steelers raced by the Indianapolis Colts 51-34 on Sunday. Roethlisberger’s yardage total was the fourth highest in NFL history. He became the first player to go over 500 yards passing twice as the Steelers (53) won consecutive games for the first time this season. Antonio Brown caught 10 passes for 133 yards and two scores. Heath Miller caught seven passes for 112 yards and the clinching TD with 5:14 remaining. Andrew Luck passed for 400 yards and three touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions. He handed the Steelers a safety when he was called for intentional grounding in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter as the Colts saw their five-game winning streak end spectacularly. BENGALS 27, RAVENS 24 Andy Dalton made up for his two second-half turnovers by scoring on a 1-yard sneak with 57 seconds left on Sunday, rallying the Cincinnati Bengals to a 27-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens that tightened the AFC North race. The Bengals (4-2-1) wasted an 11-point lead as Dalton’s fumble and interception helped the Ravens (5-3) pull ahead 24-20 with 3:59 left. That’s when Dalton pulled it out against the NFL’s stingiest defense. He threw a 53-yard pass to Mohamed Sanu on third-and-10 — safety Terrence Brooks got turned around — and took it the final yard on fourth down, completing a 10play, 80-yard drive. The Ravens appeared to regain the lead when Steve Smith Sr. caught a pass and went 80 yards to the end zone with 32 seconds left, but the receiver was called for pushing off to get open.

LIONS 22, FALCONS 21

C Y

LONDON — Matt Prater kicked a 48-yard field goal on the last play of the game Sunday, lifting the Lions after trailing by 21 points. Prater capped a second M straight late winning drive for the K Lions (6-2), who also rallied to beat the Saints last week. It was the first field goal the Lions made from 40-49 yards all season. Matthew Stafford threw for 325 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 120 TDs, breaking the Lions record of 118 held by Bobby Layne. Matt Ryan led the Falcons (26) with 228 yards passing and two touchdowns, but clock management problems, a penalty and a dropped pass doomed the Falcons at the end. The blown halftime lead tied the biggest in Atlanta history.

CARDINALS 24, EAGLES 20 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Carson Palmer lofted a 75-yard touchdown pass to rookie John Brown with 1:21 to play to give Arizona a stunning victory in a matchup of two of the NFL’s four one-loss teams entering this week. The Cardinals (6-1) had a goalline stand that forced the Eagles (5-2) to settle for a 20-yard field goal that put Philadelphia up 2017 with 1:56 left. Then on third-and-5, Palmer — who also had an 80-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald — heaved the ball deep, where the speedy Brown gathered it in and crossed the goal line just as he was being tackled. The Eagles drove to the Arizona 16. On the last play, Jordan Matthews caught a pass from Nick Foles in the end zone but landed out of bounds.

SEAHAWKS 13, PANTHERS 9 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Russell Wilson threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Luke Willson with 47 seconds left. It’s the third straight year Wilson has brought the Seahawks (4-3) back from a second-half deficit to beat the Panthers on the road. In the previous two seasons, Wilson threw second-half TD passes to Jermaine Kearse and Golden Tate in tight defensive games. Carolina’s defense, which had allowed at least 37 points in four of its previous five games, held the Seahawks in check before Wilson led a nine-play, 80-yard drive for the only touchdown. Wilson finished 20 of 32 for 199 yards with one interception and one touchdown. Cam Newton was 12 of 27 for 121 yards with an interception and a fumble for the Panthers (3-4-1).

Brees completed 27 of 32 passes for 311 yards and three touchdowns, and the Saints ended the Packers’ four-game winning streak. Rookie receiver Brandin Cooks had a 50-yard touchdown catch and a 4-yard scoring run, and tight end Jimmy Graham also caught a touchdown pass to help the Saints (3-4) pull even in victories with Carolina (3-4-1). That sets up a showdown to decide first place in the NFC South on Thursday night. Aaron Rodgers, intercepted only once in Green Bay’s first seven games, was picked off twice on deflected and sacked three times. He still passed for 418 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb, but it was not nearly enough to prevent the Packers (5-3) from falling a game behind NFC North leader Detroit.

PATRIOTS 51, BEARS 23 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady threw five scoring passes and the streaking Patriots crammed three touchdowns into the last two minutes of the first half. New England (6-2) scored on all five of its possessions in the half — and one of Chicago’s — on its way to its fourth straight win. The Bears (3-5) fell behind 45-7 early in the second half and lost for the fourth time in five games. In one of the best statistical games of his brilliant career, Brady completed 30 of 35 passes for 354 yards. He threw three scoring passes to Rob Gronkowski and one each to Tim Wright and Brandon LaFell. Defensive end Rob Ninkovich scored with 55 seconds left in the first half on a 15-yard return of Jay Cutler’s fumble.

VIKINGS 19, BUCCANEERS 13, OT TAMPA, Fla. — Anthony Barr forced a fumble on the first play of overtime and returned it 27 yards to score. The stunning end came just 17 seconds after the Vikings (3-5) extended the game on Blair Walsh’s 38-yard field goal on the final play of regulation. Teddy Bridgewater threw for 241 yards, one TD and no interceptions to help Minnesota stop a three-game skid. Mike Glennon threw a 7-yard scoring pass to Austin SeferianJenkins to give Tampa Bay (1-6) a 13-10 lead with 2:02 remaining. But the Bucs’ porous defense couldn’t stop Bridgewater from putting together a nine-play, 61yard march to get the game into OT. Glennon’s pass to Seferian-Jenkins gained 10 yards before Barr stripped the ball from the rookie tight end and took it up the left sideline to score.

CHIEFS 34, RAMS 7 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jamaal Charles ran for two touchdowns, Knile Davis returned a kick 99 yards for another score and the Chiefs trounced their cross-state rival. Cairo Santos added a pair of field goals for Kansas City (4-3), including a career-best 53-yarder. Alex Smith was 24 of 28 for 226 yards, while Davis capped a run of 34 unanswered points with a short touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Justin Houston had three of the Chiefs’ seven sacks. The banged-up Rams (2-5) lost their sixth straight to Kansas City dating to Sept. 25, 1994, when they were still in Los Angeles. Austin Davis threw for 160 yards with a touchdown and a pick.

DOLPHINS 27, JAGUARS 13 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Rookie Blake Bortles had two interceptions returned for touchdowns, costly mistakes that helped the Dolphins win. Louis Delmas (81 yards) and Brent Grimes (22 yards) scored on the turnovers for the Dolphins (4-3), who won consecutive games for the first time this season. Ryan Tannehill’s 3-yard pass to Rishard Matthews made it 24-6 late in the third quarter and gave the Dolphins a comfortable cushion in a game they could have easily trailed by double digits.

BILLS 43, JETS 23

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Kyle Orton threw four touchdown passes and the Bills forced six turnovers, three each by Geno Smith and Michael Vick. Orton won for the third time in four games since replacing EJ Manuel as the starting quarterback for the Bills (5-3), tossing TD passes to Robert Woods, Lee Smith, Scott Chandler and Sammy Watkins against the listless Jets (17). Stephon Gilmore, Preston Brown, Aaron Williams and Da’Norris Searcy had interceptions for the Bills. SAINTS 44, PACKERS 23 The Jets have lost seven straight NEW ORLEANS — Drew for the first time since 2005, in

Herm Edwards’ final season as coach. Geno Smith interceptions on three consecutive possessions in the first quarter and was pulled in favor of Vick, who was picked off once and lost two fumbles.

to Andrew Hawkins early in the fourth quarter and the Browns avoided a second straight embarrassing loss. Hoyer’s TD to Hawkins put the Browns (4-3) ahead 16-6, shortly after Cleveland’s defense came to BROWNS 23, RAIDERS 13 the rescue. Safety Donte Whitner forced CLEVELAND — Brian Hoyer a fumble late in the third quarter threw a 4-yard touchdown pass with a huge hit on Oakland run-

ning back Darren McFadden as the Raiders (0-7) were driving deep into Cleveland territory. Cleveland lost at Jacksonville last week, giving the Jaguars their first win. According to STATS, no team in NFL history has lost consecutive games to winless teams in Week 7 or later. It was hardly a perfect performance, but the Browns, who were

held to 39 yards rushing and converted only 2 of 12 third downs, will take it.

TEXANS 30, TITANS 16 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Arian Foster ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a pass for a score in the franchise’s 200th game.

Junior collects victory

MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. earned his fourth win of the season on Sunday at Martinsville Speedway in an emotional victory a week after he was eliminated from the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Jeff Gordon was second, giving Hendrick Motorsports a 1-2 finish on the 10-year anniversary weekend of the fatal plane crash that killed 10 people on their way to the speedway. Lost on that day were team owner Rick Hendrick’s son, brother, twin nieces, the team general manger, head engine builder, a key sponsor representative, two Hendrick pilots and a pilot for Tony Stewart. “This means so much to all of us,” Earnhardt said. “I lost my daddy a long time ago and I know how hard that is. I can’t imagine losing the amount of people Rick lost. My heart goes out to him during this weekend. This honors them.” Gordon was the highest finishing Chase driver. Without a Chase driver in Victory Lane, no driver clinched an automatic berth in the Nov. 16 championship finale at Homestead. “That means so much to Hendrick Motorsports,” Gordon said. “That’s the best way you can possibly pay tribute to those that we lost 10 years ago. To have a 1-2 finish, that’s pretty awesome. I would have loved to have gotten that win to move on to Homestead, but this is certainly a great start for us.” Chase driver Ryan Newman was third, and Tony Stewart finished fourth. Chase drivers Joey Logano and Matt Kenseth were fifth and sixth. Running fifth, Stewart gambled and stayed on the track after the race was red-flagged with 10 laps left. Earnhardt and Gordon pitted for fresh tires, and that one final stop was just enough for the successful finish. “If we had to do that 100 times over, we’d do the same thing,” Stewart said. “We didn’t have anything to lose. It was worth the gamble. “This is as good as a win to me.” Other Chase driver results included: Denny Hamlin eighth, Carl Edwards 20th, Brad Keselowski 31st and Kevin Harvick 33rd.

Serena dominates WTA Finals SINGAPORE (AP) — The lead-up to Sunday’s championship match at the WTA Finals suggested Serena Williams would face a major challenge to beat Simona Halep, but then, the No. 1-ranked player has made a career out of performing at her best when it matters most. She did it again in Singa-

pore, dispatching Halep 6-3, 6-0 just four days after a groupstage game between the pair in which the Romanian player dropped only two games and handed Williams her heaviest defeat for 16 years. Coming into the tournament after having to withdraw from the China Open and Wuhan Open with illness and a

knee injury, and just a day after a grueling three-set classic against Caroline Wozniacki, there was plenty of reasons to believe the 33-year-old could be vulnerable. The doubts, though, were quickly swept aside as Williams overpowered her opponent in an imperious performance.

communities. “Alaska’s education costs are some of the highest in the nation, yet we rank last in the fourth-grade reading scores and rank 39th out of the 50 states overall,” Henrichs says on his website. He also is a strong supporter of educational programs that support the majority of students that do not continue to college after graduating from high school. Henrichs is critical of the state’s “major spending problem” that includes spending 2.5 times more than is collected in revenue. On his website, he cites overspending as proof “that the crop of people we have sent to Juneau to represent us need to pack their bags and make way for real commonsense and thrift-minded leadership.” He believes if the state continues in the financial direction is it headed, within five years it will be forced to make a decision: legislate a state income tax or invade permanent fund dividends. While Senate Bill 21, Gov. Parnell’s restructuring of taxes on the oil and gas industry, promised to increase revenues in the state, Henrichs said it did little of what was promised. “The Russians sold their interest in Alaska to the United States in 1867 and in 2014 the oil companies bought Alaska and, hell, I didn’t know it was for sale,” Henrichs told the Homer News. He compared the “obscene wealth” of oil and gas companies to residents of rural Alaska “who will probably see $1,000 heating bills this winter. Something is drastically wrong and we need to change it,” he said. Henrichs attended the Alaska Federation of Natives annual meeting in Anchorage, but plans to make a visit to the southern Kenai Peninsula before Nov. 4. “I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Homer. I’ve fished halibut out of there for years,” he said. “I always liked Homer.”

Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, is chairman of the Alaska Native Medical Center Joint Operating Board of Directors and on the Southeast Alaska Subsistence Regional Advisory Council. In his candidate statement, Henrichs notes his opposition to gun control and tax breaks for oil companies, and is clear about his unwillingness to risk Bristol Bay salmon for a mine. He supports less government in favor of contracting with the private sector to provide better services at a reduced cost. Summing up his campaign, Henrichs stands for a “simpler, more efficient state government, responsibly funding education statewide, stronger family values and living within our means.” Since 1959, Henrichs has been involved in Alaska’s commercial fishing industry. “Seiner. Gillnetter. I had two crab boats in the Bering Sea. A tender. I’ve done all kinds of fishing and still fish,” said Henrichs, who sees that experience as valuable in the state’s capital. “We need some people with fishermen’s common sense in Juneau.” He believes the state has failed to communicate effectively with Alaska’s Native population regarding fish and game, which has, in turn, resulted in Natives seeking support from the federal government. Henrichs supports open communication with Natives regarding managing these resources, without input from the federal government. When it comes to education, Henrichs is a strong supporter of early education and contends Alaska’s children have taken a backseat to the “common distractions” of disputes over contracts, compensation and saving schools. He believes parents should have the deciding voice when it comes to their children’s education, the state has the McKibben Jackinsky can be responsibility to fully fund it, reached at mckibben.jackinand too often that responsibil- sky@homernews.com. ity is left in the hands of local

. . . Stevens Continued from page A-1

Fisheries are another area of importance to Stevens. His personal involvement with Alaska fisheries began in 1970, when he came to Alaska to work at Northern Processors, a seafood processing company owned by his family in Old Harbor. After being elected to the House, Stevens was appointed to co-chair the Alaska Salmon Task Force and distributed funds the late Sen. Ted Stevens, not a relative, secured for the state’s fisheries. “That money helped fishermen replace engines, helped processors purchase new equipment to process salmon in a different way,” said Stevens. “A lot went more toward filleting fish, freezing them and selling them that way.” Now, Stevens said the need is to ensure funding for the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute.

federal scientists, will have the opportunity for additional back and forth on the 2013 work and year two plans. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is expected to then make its final recommendation on the year two studies by late April. At the request of the federal scientists, much of the discussion so far has focused on the 2013 work; 2014 results were not presented at the initial study report meeting. Earlier this fall, the National Marine Fisheries Service and AEA exchanged heated letters regarding the 2013 studies, with the federal scientists questioning the validity of some studies, and AEA defending the work done on its behalf, primarily by contractors. The October meeting provided an opportunity for discussion about the differences, with fish identification one of the major sticking points. The contracted scientists hired

“A lot of our product goes to Europe and Asia. It’s important that marketing is maintained,” he said. Asked about the Nov. 4 ballot measures, Stevens was quick to say he has “one vote like everyone else. My vote is no more important than anyone else.” With regard to the ballot measure to tax and regulate the production, sale and use of marijuana, Stevens said, “I understand that it is probably going to pass, but I’m really concerned about it. I wish we could delay it for a couple of years and see how it works in Washington and Colorado.” He added, however, that if the public votes in favor of the measure, “it’ll be the law and then it’s our responsibility as legislators to figure out how it works.” Raising the minimum wage is another measure Stevens believes will pass. He recognizes the challenge for people entering jobs that don’t pay enough to support a family, but also is aware employers, such as sea-

food processors, are concerned about the additional costs of doing business. With regard to the ballot measure addressing development of the Pebble mine by requiring the Legislature to approve future large-scale metallic sulfide mines in the Bristol Bay Fisheries Reserve, Stevens said he has “always been very concerned about what would happen if a mine developed there. I personally don’t see how you can develop an openpit mine and not have an impact on water quality and salmon.” He will vote yes on that ballot measure. In August, voters turned down an attempt to repeal Senate Bill 21, Gov. Sean Parnell’s effort to increase oil production and investment dollars in Alaska’s oil industry. As a result, Stevens predicted the state might have some challenging times. “The public voted and all we can do and hope to heaven it works,” said Stevens. “We won’t know for a long

time. Will it lead to more production, more wells, more investment by big oil? All we can do is hope it will.” Visiting Homer was an opportunity for Stevens to view changes that have occurred since he represented the southern peninsula. In particular, he noted work being done at the harbor that includes replacement of float, construction of a new harbormaster office and development of a vessel haulout area. “If you live in Homer and are here every day, you don’t see the multitude of changes that have happened in four, five years. But if you take the time to think about it, there are some big changes,” said Stevens. “It’s fun to come back and see the fruition of things that started when I was representing Homer. I really enjoy it here. It’s a wonderful community.”

by AEA were tasked with identifying juvenile salmon to gather information on where fish live in the river, but had difficulty telling juvenile king and silver salmon apart. That was partially because there are a large number of fish to identify quickly, and the scientists want to minimize the time any fish is out of the water or being handled. Fish distribution and abundance has been a major focus of the work so far, and one that has led to many of the questions raised by federal scientists. For the Upper River project, data so far has largely been provided with minimal analysis, as a snapshot of what was seen in the river. At the meeting, scientists questioned whether different sampling methods had been correlated and how error was accounted for. AEA’s representatives also explained some of the changes from the initial plan, and other changes they think will be necessary for the next year of work. For a habitat study, the scientists hired by AEA were unable to complete the full sampling plan in the allotted time, and instead opted to subsample the

areas to try and get an accurate, but less comprehensive, look at habitat in various tributaries. During the meeting, Sue Walker, from the National Marine Fisheries Service, and Betsy McCracken from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service said the federal agencies would like to see additional fish sampling for the upper river distribution and abundance study. McCracken noted that the preliminary results show more fish in the upper river than originally expected, and Walker said that additional sampling could show how many fish travel upstream in the mainstem, and where they go, compared to how many enter tributaries. The federal scientists also complimented some of the work done so far to track all five salmon species as they move through the river. Walker complimented the work done to count fish with a sonar, and said that study was “really well done.” She also said, however, that gauging the number of salmon swimming upstream is important so that the federal agencies can make a recommendation of

what salmon passage mechanism would be appropriate at the dam. Walker also praised the radio tagging work done as part of the escapement studies. In addition to those studies, AEA and its consultants presented work to better gauge euchalon distribution and abundance, fish passage barrier changes and more. AEA also proposed a change to the transmission line and road corridors being studied. Previously the agency was looking at a Chultina corridior, Denali West corridor and Gold Creek corridor; at the October meeting, the agency said it would add a Denali East option and eliminate the Chulitna corridor as a way to avoid several anadramous stream crossings in the other options. The Denali west corridor has 38 stream crossings, none of which are thought to be anadromous, and the Gold creek corridor has 17 crossings, including several salmon streams. The Chulitna corridor has 23 possible crossings, including salmon in three — Indian River, Portage Creek and Thoroughfare Creek.

For the birds

Carson Grimm and his dad, Ryan Grimm, work together to build a bird feeder during an after-school parent/child activity for second graders sponsored by the Title I program at Mountain View Elementary School in Kenai. Students had to read the instructions to their parents and then work together to build the bird feeder. Families learned about bird feeder safety and what birds might come to their bird feeders, and took home some bird seed.

New year, new look, new attitude By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Skyview Middle School announced the success of their first quarter with a big bang. In fact, nine perfectly synchronized bangs, thumps and blows. Jeff Moore led eight students from the drum line in a boisterous, wordless presentation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough School Board at the Oct. 20 meeting in the middle of the assembly chambers of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Administrative Building. “I hope you will be able to hear the rest of the meeting,” said Skyview Middle School principal Sarge Truesdell. “The students are using their elective periods to take band,” Moore said. “It is a big commitment.” Truesdell introduced the drum line as just one of many examples how staff and students have comfortably transitioned into their new space and how smoothly the newly reconfigured institution’s first quarter went. The students have embraced their new colors, Truesdell said. The drummers performed in front of an almost packed house

that evening. Attendees included the staff, students and teachers who made the big move possible. “That’s a heavy lift, sometimes it felt like we had no summer,” Truesdell said. “When turning a high school into a middle school, you don’t just walk in the door and open it all up.” Truesdell thanked the Borough Maintenance Department for assisting in the extensive transition process.

in terms of how well prepared the students are, and they plan to maintain their reputation, Truesdell said. Truesdell showed a short film produced by the students of computer electives teacher John Harro, which gave the school board a look into the day-to-day operations of the school. This year, because of the new space and facilities the students have the option of learning welding, Truesdell said. The school also has established the first school CrossFit program with gym facilities in the state of Alaska he said. “I love going to work and being there everyday,” Truesdell said. Truesdell called one of the drum line students back into the room to show off their new, casual-style uniforms. He said the new design described the atmosphere that has been established at the new building. “New year, new look, new attitude,” read the bright-white, bold, capital letters on the back of the black T-shirt.

The group even brought a taste of their new school before the school board — literally. Sheila Margaret Pothast’s class brought homemade salsa for sampling. Truesdell warned, like the school, it had “a bit of a kick.” Under the Alaska School Performance Index, Skyview Middle School is rated as a Reach Kelly Sullivan at kel5-star school, according to the school district’s assessment ly.sullivan@peninsulaclarion. website.

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management planning public scoping sessions The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) recently announced that it will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in support of a potential oil and gas lease sale in Cook Inlet, off Alas-

K enai P eninsula C ollege A round C ampus

“We look forward to receiving thoughtful, substantial input on this EIS,” said Dr. Walter Cruickshank, BOEM acting director. “In particular, we need to hear from residents of the communities along Cook Inlet on how the proposed leasing area is currently being used and what specific areas need extra attention. To address these issues, we will use rigorous science together with traditional knowledge and input we receive from the The Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS is an early step in the leasing process.” The Notice does not indicate a final decision to hold a lease sale has been made. Rather, information gathered via the scoping process will help BOEM prepare the EIS, which in turn will inform a final decision on whether to hold the sale. Schedule for scoping meetings: Nov. 12, 7 p.m. — Seldovia (Tribal Conference Center) Nov. 13, noon — Nanwalek (Tribal Community Center) Nov. 13, 7 p.m. — Homer (Bidarka Inn) Nov. 14, 7 p.m. — Soldotna (KPC Kenai River Campus-Ward Building) Nov. 24, 7 p.m. — Anchorage (Loussac Library) To provide public comment, go to www.regulations.gov and search for “Sale 244.” A direct link, as well as more information about the sale, is available at: www.boem.gov/ak244.

ka’s south central coast. BOEM oversees responsible development of the nation’s offshore energy resources. The EIS analysis will focus on the potential effects of leasing, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas in the proposed lease sale area, which BOEM identified in November 2013. That Area Identification reflected BOEM’s approach of using scientific information and stakeholder feedback to proactively determine, in advance of the potential lease sale, which specific areas within a planning area offer the greatest resource potential and industry interest while reducing potential conflicts with environmental and subsistence considerations. According to BOEM representatives, the area identified for the proposed Cook Inlet sale is closer to existing infrastructure. It avoids nearly the entire area designated as critical habitat for the beluga whale and the northern sea otter, completely avoids the critical habitat for the Stellar sea lion and the North Pacific right whale. It reduces effects on national parks, preserves and wildlife refuges. It also excludes much of the subsistence-use area for the Native villages of This column is provided by Suzie KenNanwalek and Port Graham that were drick, Advancement Programs Manager identified during the last lease sale pro- at Kenai Peninsula College. cess in the area.

Haunted-house decor causes fright for neighborhood kids DEAR ABBY: We have a neighbor who “decorates” his yard for Halloween in the worst way imaginable. Every year it becomes more macabre. He has “bodies” hanging from tree limbs, gravestones with RIP on dirt mounds and other unbelievable atrocities. He thinks it’s funny. It is despicable and it scares the children who must walk past his yard. When we ask him not to put such deplorable items in our neighborhood, he doesn’t take it seriously. I’m thinking about taking up a collection and bribing him not to put his growing, vulgar display up this year. What can we do? — SPOOKED IN TOPEKA DEAR SPOOKED: What you’re describing is a feature of Halloween that many children enjoy. However, you can’t “protect” your children forever. When they’re old enough to understand, explain to them that this is all done in the spirit of fun, and it’s not real or dangerous.

conscious about my tattoo, although I now wear rings as well. I still like my tattoo, but I don’t want people judging me because of it. My husband says I’ll only hurt myself if I remove something I love having. Do I express my love the way I wish or succumb to nasty stares from patients? — INKED FOR LOVE DEAR INKED FOR LOVE: I agree with your Abigail Van Buren husband. You are entitled to express your love any way you wish. Many professional people sport tattoos that are far more flamboyant than the one you have. If you catch a patient staring, smile and share the story behind it. I think it is sweet and rather charming.

I love them both, but how do I now handle Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, knowing how they feel about each other? Should I extend the usual invitation and hope for the best? Or should I not invite either of them to avoid the possible conflict? I will not take sides. I think both of them are being petty and childish, but I also don’t know what to do. My family is large; these two have always blended in nicely. — IN THE MIDDLE DEAR IN THE MIDDLE: Because you feel that having them together in the same room would cause tension for you, my advice is to have them over on alternate holidays.

DEAR ABBY: When my husband and I were 18, we decided to have each other’s initials tattooed on our ring fingers. His tattoo included the initial that one day became my last name. It’s been 10 years and our marriage is still solid and beautiful. I have worked hard at a nursing career, but I feel self-

DEAR ABBY: I am friends with two women who dislike each other. Neither one has family, so I usually invite them over for holiday dinners. Over the past 10 years they have tolerated each other and been cordial. But this summer they had a big row, and the divide is even wider.

Hints from Heloise

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

HHHHResistatendencytooverthink. You might decide to take action before a problem happens. In that case, you will be able to relax more easily. A loved one might inspire you to take off with him or her — if not today, then soon. Tonight: Buy a treat for yourself on the way home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHHYou’ll perk up with the mention of a great idea. You seem energized, and, fortunately for others, this exuberance will be contagious. A meeting easily could turn into a gossip session. You might want to listen more carefully. Tonight: Others are highly responsive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Slow down, and take a closer look at what others are doing. Someone you look up to might have a lot to share. You intuitively will know what to say and do. Financial dealings with others will be highly favored. If you feel lucky, buy a lottery ticket. Tonight: Screen calls. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A meeting could be unusually successful. You know what you want, and a strong romance might be the result. Be willing to let go some of your rigidity, and see the world through fresh eyes. Tonight: Make a special gesture toward a love one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might feel as if you must do what someone asks. You’ll have your reasons for saying “no,” but how solid are they? You might want to figure that out before you agree to anything. Communicate your feelings in a way that a loved one will hear. Tonight: Go for what you want.

Travelers can’t see the light Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, regarding hotel lighting: “As a follow-up to the Sound Off regarding hotel lighting in bathrooms, I would like to add a Sound Off about another area of lighting in hotels and bed-and-breakfasts. Owners/designers seem to assume that everyone will relax by either watching TV or streaming on their laptops. I am an avid reader, and many times there is no adequate reading light. Many of us like to read the newspapers or books that we bring along on our travels.” — Janie G. in Beaumont, Texas How right you are! Plus, with most hotels using energy-saving lights, it’s almost impossible to read in bed! I usually end up turning the lampshade toward me, or even taking it off to get more light! I know road warriors who travel with a well-cushioned light bulb. — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Here are hints for organizing coupons: * By item: dairy, cleaning supplies, etc. * By store layout or aisles. * By what you use the most. * By things you would like to try. — Heloise Green hint Dear Heloise: Like peanut butter? We do. The plastic peanut-butter jars are excellent for keeping small amounts of leftovers in the fridge or freezer. They are top-rack dishwasher safe, but don’t try to warm the contents in the microwave. (Heloise here: DO NOT use plastic food jars in the microwave!) Also, a roll of masking tape and a marker pen in the kitchen are excellent for keeping up with what the leftovers are and when they were stored. — John in Little Rock, Ark.

today. You might want to use them when dealing with a partner whose opinions often differ from yours. It could seem as if nearly everything you say is right-on. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s suggestion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHHKnowyourlimitswithsomeone you interact with daily. This person won’t be rude if you make a suggestion, but he or she might not work with you as easily as you might like. Your expectations seem to exceed his or her ability to create the desired results. Tonight: Order in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHHYou are unusually fortunate right now, and you seem to smile your way right through a problem. You blend creativity and communication well. Others appreciate your ability to help them see the big picture. Tonight: Let a loved one inspire you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Someone who you relate to closely might surprise you with his or her unpredictability. You are likely to start tossing aside some of your self-imposed restrictions if you continue hanging out with this person. Tonight: Mosey on home; you have a lot to sort through. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Don’t hesitate to ask questions in order to verify what you’ve heard. Your positive vibes will set the tone for others right now. Drop the words “no” and “impossible” from your vocabulary; you’ll see what a difference it can make. Tonight: Return calls, then decide. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Scorpio and a Moon in Sagittarius. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Oct. 27, 2014: This year you have an unusual opportunity to expand your horizons and meet new people. You are likely to make a commitment to an organization, which will make you feel accomplished. You are in a period where you’ll be capable of manifesting more of your desires. If you are single, you will have many choices to make. Keep in mind what kind of relationship you are looking for. If you are attached, you will be more content within your relationship than you have been in many years. LEO knows how to push you too far. 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 The unexpected could create a challenge and force you down a new path. An associate will have a lot to say, and he or she could be determined to speak up. You’ll become more upbeat once your creativity kicks. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH If you are willing to defer to a loved one, everything will proceed in a most congenial manner. People flourish with trust, and you can be very trusting. A conversation with a family member could be more positive than you might have expected it to be. Tonight: Check in with a friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You know what you want, and you’ll have persuasive powers
