In the news Driver, sled dogs injured in collision near Wasilla ANCHORAGE — A driver was injured and two dogs in a sled dog team were hurt in a collision near Wasilla. Anchorage television station KTVA reports a crash between an SUV and a pickup sent the truck into a dog team being trained by Iditarod musher Kristy Berington. Berington was training dogs belonging to musher Tom Knolmayer, who was ahead of her with other dogs. Alaska State Troopers say the sport utility vehicle rearended a pickup. The truck rolled twice and struck two dogs in the team with Berington. The SUV driver suffered injuries and was transported from the scene. Berington says the injured dogs will need surgery for shoulder injuries but should recover.

Driver in fatal crash says he spoke to victim before leaving ANCHORAGE — An Anchorage man charged in a fatal hit-and-run crash told police he spoke to the woman he hit and she said she was fine. The Anchorage Daily News reports 71-year-old Ruti Malietufa (ROO-tee mal-ee-eh-TOO-fah) was arraigned Monday on a felony count of leaving an accident scene without assisting an injured person. Police have not released the victim’s name. Police investigating the crash early Saturday night found the woman dead on Third Avenue just east of the Anchorage jail. She was surrounded by debris from a broken headlight and her shoe was in the westbound lane. Malietufa told police he was driving east and hit something. He told police he turned around, saw the woman and she told him she was fine. Malietufa was arrested Sunday. He remained jailed Tuesday. — Associated Press

‘The Ballad of Kenai’ makes comeback By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Kenai Performers are reviving “The Ballad of Kenai” for the play’s 50th anniversary. The historic play explores Kenai’s change and progress through the years, beginning with the area’s original inhabitants, the Dena’ina. Don Nickel is one of the founding members of Kenai Performers and was an original cast member of “The Ballad of Kenai.” He said the play has evolved since it was first conceived in the late 1960s by director Lance Petersen and his mother Jean McMaster, who was a dance instructor and choreographed the show. Bob Richardson composed the original music, and came on to conduct the orchestra for the 50th anniversary revival. Nickel said the upcoming show will be the fifth time “The Ballad of Kenai” has been performed. “This show is a much richer show, although the older productions were great shows, it has evolved into a richer play,” Nickel said. Nickel is playing grandfather Joe. He and the character of the grandson are the only people in the show that are in the present. All of the other

Spring Creek holds town hall By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

On Monday night, the Spring Creek Correctional Center opened its doors to the public, inviting them to the maximum security prison for an open discussion about the center’s restorative justice initiative, criminal justice and how these issues affect the surrounding community. “Things like this are scary to a superintendent,” said Spring Creek’s Superintendent Bill Lapinskas. “To open your doors and have people come in and judge what you’re doing — but we’ve been putting more and more of the people first. What are we doing at Spring Creek? Whatever we have to turn out a better person.” Last year, Lapinskas and the inmates worked to create the Restorative Justice Initiative, to fight high recidivism rates and

help the inmates become better people. Restorative justice focuses on restoring those impacted by crime and behavior rather than retribution for the crime itself. By working with the victim, the offender and the community, restorative justice hopes to heal victims while helping

the offender return to society as a contributing member of the community. “It’s asking what role does the community play,” said prisoner Matt Moore, one of the Restorative Justice Initiative’s three co-chairs. “Because no person is left untouched by this See SPRING, page A7

Diminished sea ice affects temperatures in Utqiagvik UTQIAGVIK (AP) — Changing sea ice patterns are affecting fall temperatures in the far northern Alaska city of Utqiagvik, scientists say. Temperatures in the town formerly known as Barrow have increased in October more than any other month over the last five decades, Alaska’s Energy Desk reported. The lack of ice is both the effect of warming in the Arctic and a primary driver for the town’s warmer Octobers, said Rick Thoman, climate specialist at the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. “When you’ve got that water right off shore that’s staying at 28 (degrees) or warmer, that greatly limits how cool the air can get,” Thoman said. “Even a thin layer of ice with a little bit of snow on it, the air right above that can cool much more.”

Pack ice that stays frozen on the Arctic Ocean through the summer had usually started floating to shore in October. That ice would cool the land and water around it, helping new sea ice to form along the coast. Pack ice has been steadily retreating north. It’s now typically hundreds of miles offshore in October, but two decades ago it was rare for the ice to be more than 50 miles from the coast. With the pack ice absent, new ice takes longer to form, Thoman said. The ice now forms in November or December, said Billy Adams, a lifelong resident of Utqiagvik. When he was growing up, there was almost always ice attached to the shore in October, he said. “We could have been walking out there and hunting ringed seals,” Adams said last month. “But we’re on land right now.”

Former Kenai residents arrested in Ohio slaying of 8 By ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A family of four arrested Tuesday in the gruesome slayings of eight people from another family in rural Ohio two years ago carefully planned the killings for months in a crime prosecutors vaguely explained as a custody dispute, authorities said. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said a grand jury indicted the four on aggravated murder charges and that they could be sentenced to death if convicted. DeWine gave scant detail about why they were killed, but did say the custody of young child played a role. Arrested were four members of the Wagner family, who lived near the scenes of the killing about 60 miles south of

Families mourn as first victims of California fire are named By MARTHA MENDOZA and GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press

PARADISE, Calif. — Ernest Foss was a musician who gave lessons out of his home when he lived in San Francisco, where an amplifier that ran the length of a wall served as the family’s living room couch. Carl Wiley refurbished tires for Michelin. Jesus Fernandez, known as “Zeus,” was described as a loving father and loyal friend. They were among the first victims identified in the aftermath of the deadliest, most destructive wildfire in California history, an inferno blamed for at least 42 deaths, with authorities ramping up the search Tuesday for still more souls. The flames all but obliterated the Northern California town of Paradise, population 27,000, and ravaged surrounding areas last Thursday. The exact number of missing was unclear, but many friends and relatives of those living in the fire zone said they hadn’t heard from loved ones. Some went to shelters looking for the missing. Efforts were underway to bring in mobile morgues, cadaver dogs, a rapid DNA analysis system for identifying victims, and an additional 150 search-and-rescue personnel on top of 13 teams already looking for remains — a grim indication that the death toll would almost surely rise. Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea’s office has identified four of the victims, publicly naming three. James Wiley said sheriff’s deputies informed him that his father, Carl, was among the dead, but the younger Wiley hadn’t been able to leave his property in the fire area to see for himself. The elder Wiley, 77, was a tirerecapper, and the family lived in Alaska for many years before moving to Butte County decades ago. James Wiley said his father was a stoic veteran, and the two

had not spoken in six years. “Hey, I lost him a long time ago,” the younger man said. Foss, 63, moved to Paradise eight years ago because the high cost of living pushed him out of the San Francisco Bay Area, according to his daughter, Angela Loo. He had swollen limbs and couldn’t walk. He had also been on oxygen. Loo told KTVU-TV in Oakland that her father taught music out of their home in San Francisco and turned the living room into a studio. “I love that he shared his gift of music with me and so many others during his lifetime,” she said. “He would want to be remembered for being a San Franciscan through and through.” Fernandez, a 48-year-old Concow resident, also died. Myrna Pascua, whose husband was best friends with the man known as “Zeus,” called him a “tireless provider, a dependable

and loyal friend, a considerate neighbor, and loving father. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.” Five days after the blaze, over 1,000 people were at more than a half-dozen shelters set up for evacuees. At the Neighborhood Church in Chico, counselors, chaplains and nursing students from California State University, Chico, were available to help. Volunteers cooked meals, and there was a large bulletin board with information about missing people. Eddie Lazarom, who fled Paradise on foot before getting a lift from a UPS truck, was among those staying at the church. He said he had yet to hear from his three grandchildren, ages 22, 24 and 28. “I am really worried about them. They have common sense, I’m sure, but I’d hate to find out later that they burned up,” he said. Greg Gibson came to the

shelter for information about his neighbors. He doesn’t know if they tried to leave or not but says the fire exploded so quickly that if they hesitated, they would have had trouble. “It happened so fast. I would have been such an easy decision to stay, but it was the wrong choice,” Gibson said. The search for the dead was drawing on portable devices that can identify someone’s genetic material in a couple of hours, rather than days or weeks. “In many circumstances, without rapid DNA technology, it’s just such a lengthy process,” says Frank DePaolo, a deputy commissioner of the New York City medical examiners’ office, which has been at the forefront of the science of identifying human remains since 9/11 and is exploring how it might use a rapid DNA device.

What Others Say

Time to put university lands in its own hands The subject of transferring more state land to the University of Alaska so that the university can manage it as a revenue source to supplement its budget shouldn’t seem like a controversial subject. The university has been managing land for revenue for years. And yet the idea of giving more land to the university has proved time and again to be a difficult task. Gov.-elect Mike Dunleavy, in a wide-ranging meeting with the Daily News-Miner editorial board two weeks before the election, discussed giving more state land to the university. He’s clearly a strong supporter of the idea and seems unfazed by the prospect of environmental groups filing lawsuits to block any such transfer. A governor doesn’t have the authority to unilaterally transfer land to the university. The transfer would have to first be in the form of a bill approved by the Legislature and then sent to the governor for signing. And that’s where previous land transfers to the university have fallen apart. Former Gov. Tony Knowles, who served from 1994 to 2002, vetoed university lands legislation three times. The Legislature overrode his third veto, in 2000, but Gov. Knowles refused to recognize the override, saying it required a three-quarters vote of the joint Legislature because the lands transfer was akin to an appropriations bill, which under the Alaska Constitution require the higher veto override threshold. The Legislature’s override was on a vote of 41-19, however, barely achieving the two-thirds total required to override non appropriations bills. The Legislature sued to force Gov. Knowles to recognize the veto override and to implement the land transfer, and the case found its way to the Alaska Supreme Court, which ruled in the Legislature’s favor. The Alaska Center for the Environment, the Northern Alaska Environmental Center, and the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council also became involved. Nearly four years had passed from the date of the governor’s veto to the date of the Supreme Court’s decision. So you can clearly see that university lands bills are easily contentious. But that shouldn’t stop the new governor and the next Legislature from trying. And Gov.-elect Dunleavy doesn’t seem to be one who will shy from a fight. “There’s got to be a discussion with folks in the state of Alaska,” Mr. Dunleavy said in his meeting with the Daily News-Miner editorial board. “If we want these programs, we have to be able to produce revenue to support these programs. And if we have land that we can monetize, that has minerals on it, timber on it, you name it, we should be able to do that. That was the purpose of the land, especially for things like the university and the Mental Health Trust Fund. “So some of these same groups that are suing and preventing that land from being monetized are some of the same people that want more spending in programs,” he said. “Well how do you get that? Just take it from you and give it to him when we have all these possibilities in terms of resource development? So that’s what I would do with university: Sit down with them,work with them on identifying land, and getting ready for the lawsuits I guess that people would send our way.” The University of Alaska needs more land. It should have more land. A 1993 report by Terrence Cole, chairman the University of Alaska Fairbanks History Department at the time, includes a history of the university’s land grants. It explains how the university’s land grant fell victim to Alaska statehood: “With the passage of the Alaska statehood bill in 1958, the university’s legal rights to further land under the 1915 (land grant)reservation were extinguished. The statehood act repealed the 1915 reservation because Congress apparently believed the enormous statehood entitlement of more than 103 million acres — far larger than that of any other state in American history— would provide sufficient resources so that the 49th state could adequately support its university.” “Alaska Delegate E.L. ‘Bob’ Bartlett agreed with the majority of Congress that by not targeting specific amounts of land for specific purposes, such as had tra-

To know him is to not know him

”I don’t know Matt Whitaker.” That was President Donald Trump, unmistakably signaling that Matthew Whitaker won’t be acting attorney general much longer. Never mind that just about a month ago, during one of his regular love fests on “Fox and Friends,” Trump was singing a different tune: “I can tell you Matt Whitaker’s a great guy. I mean, I know Matt Whitaker.” Now, all you haters out there might think that POTUS was just once again being a lying sack of spit. But those of us in the know understand that it was simply a mistake; he was talking about two different Matt Whitakers. That still begs the question: Why would he appoint someone he says he doesn’t know to be acting attorney general, the chief law enforcement official in the U. S. of A., with thousands upon thousands of attorneys and federal agents under his command? And why didn’t his vetters pick up on Whitaker’s long record of comments about the American legal system that make one wonder how he ever passed the bar, or even high-school civics? His public statements about jurisprudence range from ignorant to Neanderthal. Why didn’t his constant derogatory comments about the Robert Mueller investigation — questioning whether it should even exist — raise a red flag with someone in the administration? Oh wait, the cynics among us might consider the possibility that his appointment to a job that would give him control of how or even whether

Mueller proceeds, that his stated contempt for the entire special counsel probe might be precisely why he was named by President Trump. And if you believe Trump’s response to reporters Bob Franken — “I didn’t speak to Matt Whitaker about it” — then I’d like to sell you some courses at Trump University. Maybe that was part of Matt Whitaker’s personal appeal to the Trumpster. Among the other parts of Whitaker’s resume was his glaringly public association with a patent-advice scam that was widely accused of bilking thousands of dollars from inventors until it was shut down by a federal judge this year. He was a member of the operation’s advisory committee, and even sent intimidating letters threatening ominous legal action against those who complained. It truly does sound like a Trump University con, so Donald Trump not only knows Matt Whitaker, but they are total soul mates, just like the Donald and Vladimir Putin, or Kim Jong Un. There are just some people you meet and immediately establish a connection. There are those who argue that Trump’s appointment of Whitaker is unconstitutional or otherwise illegal. For what it’s worth, I’m not convinced by their argu-

ments. Not that I’m a lawyer, but this is one of those rare cases where attorneys have laid out a simple case, that it violates the Constitution’s Appointments Clause because Whitaker wasn’t confirmed by the Senate. In fact, he was confirmed, 14 years ago, before he became a U.S. attorney in Iowa. They also contend that choosing him to be acting attorney general violated various laws and/or regulations. Unfortunately, there are conflicting laws and/or regulations, to say nothing about a Supreme Court that’s dominated by Trump sycophants. Still, Whitaker is probably toast. Trump demands loyalty, but he doesn’t reciprocate. Beyond that, for someone who acts like he’s impervious to embarrassment, in reality Donald Trump is incredibly frightened of ridicule, inordinately so. That helps explain his fury at “fake news” reporters who dare ask uncomfortable questions or put out unfavorable stories. The Matthew Whitaker story has quickly turned unfavorable. So Whitaker is not long for this swamp. Already, a quiet search is most certainly underway for someone equally unqualified to take his place and shameless enough to gut the Mueller investigation without fear, before there is a special counsel report accompanied by more indictments. How about Ryan Zinke, the interior secretary who is looking up at a major legal cloud? He’s already gone through Senate confirmation. The key will be whether President Trump will admit that he knows him.

AP Politics

Melania Trump publicly calls for aide’s firing WASHINGTON — In an extraordinary move, Melania Trump called publicly Tuesday for the deputy national security adviser to be dismissed. After reports circulated Tuesday that President Donald Trump had decided to remove Mira Ricardel from her post at the National Security Council, Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s spokeswoman, released a statement that said: “It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that she no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House.” Shortly before the statement was issued, Ricardel was among a group of administration officials and other individuals who stood behind President Trump at a White House ceremony celebrating Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the first lady’s staff and Ricardel had clashed during Mrs. Trump’s visit to Africa in October over such things as seating on the airplane and requests to use the council’s resources.

A White House official told The Associated Press that Ricardel wanted to travel to Africa with the first lady but was denied seating on the airplane because there was no room for her and several others who initially expected to make the trip. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss White House personnel matters, said Ricardel then threatened not to send any NSC staff. Ricardel also is known to have clashed with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis over Pentagon political appointee choices since early in his tenure. And Pentagon officials have said privately they believe Ricardel had a hand in spreading rumors this year about Mattis falling from favor with the White House and perhaps departing. Asked by a reporter today about Mrs. Trump’s office saying Ricardel no longer deserves to work in the White House, Mattis said, “I don’t comment on other people’s staffing issues.” A spokesman for the National Security Council had no immediate comment. Mrs. Trump is very protective of her husband and is considered to be an influential adviser, as many first ladies have been

with their spouses. She is also one of the most private first ladies in recent memory, which made the public announcement about her displeasure with a top West Wing official all the more surprising. In an interview with ABC News during the five-day trip to Ghana, Mali, Kenya and Egypt last month, the first lady said there are people in the White House whom she and the president cannot trust. She declined to name anyone but said she had let the president know who they are. “Well,” she said, “some people, they don’t work there anymore.” Asked if some untrustworthy people still worked in the White House, Mrs. Trump replied, “Yes.” Anita McBride, who was chief of staff to first lady Laura Bush, said there’s a lesson in the current first lady’s public pronouncement. “The president supports Mrs. Trump’s activities and her work, which should be the signal to the rest of the staff to support her, too,” McBride, who has worked for three Republican presidents, said via email.

ditionally been done for the support of higher education elsewhere, the new state would have greater flexibility and more control of its own affairs.” “But the cost of this greater freedom in land choice was a vastly smaller educational land grant for Alaska.” There’s one important caution

that should accompany any effort to give the university more land for income generation,however: It can take a long time for any additional land to lead to actual income, so legislators and the governor shouldn’tthink they can reduce the university’s budget instantly, if that is indeed their intention in giving the university more land. The uni-

versity’s budget has been cut several times in recent years already. With that point acknowledged, let’s hope the next governor and next Legislature can agree on a plan to get more land into the university’s hands.

Homeland Security secretary to leave

Around the Nation

By COLLEEN LONG and ZEKE MILLER The Associated Press

Court challenge to be filed over appointment of acting AG

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has soured on Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and she is expected to leave her job, perhaps as soon as this week, according to two people with knowledge of the issue. Trump has blamed Nielsen for not doing more to address what he has called a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, the sources said. Curbing immigration is Trump’s signature issue — and one he returns to as a way to rally his most loyal supporters. But anyone who takes over at Homeland Security is likely to run up against the same problems that Nielsen faced. The administration has already tried to clamp down at the border but those efforts have been largely thwarted or watered down due to legal challenges. Nielsen had hoped to complete one year in the job and leave in December, but it appeared unlikely she would last that long, said two sources. Both people who had knowledge of the debate spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Trump was widely expected to shake up his Cabinet after the

WASHINGTON — Maryland is challenging the appointment of Matthew Whitaker as the new U.S. acting attorney general, arguing that President Donald Trump sidestepped the Constitution and the Justice Department’s own succession plan by elevating Whitaker to the top job. A Tuesday filing, a draft of which was obtained earlier by The Associated Press, sets up a court challenge between a state and the federal government over the legitimacy of the country’s chief law enforcement officer. It comes as Democrats call on Whitaker to recuse himself from overseeing the special counsel’s Russia investigation because of critical comments he has made on the probe and amid concerns over his views on the scope of judicial authority. Lawyers for the state say the job should have gone to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein instead of to Whitaker. They cite a statute governing the line of succession at the Justice Department that says that in the case of a vacancy at the attorney general level, “the Deputy Attorney General may exercise all the duties of that office.” If neither is available for the job, according to that statute, then the associate attorney general is supposed to be elevated. Beyond that, the lawyers say, the Constitution requires the duties of the attorney general to be carried out only by someone with Senate confirmation. A Justice Department spokeswoman had no immediate comment, though the department was expected to release as soon as Tuesday an opinion from its Office of Legal Counsel defending the legitimacy of Whitaker’s appointment. Whitaker was appointed last year as chief of staff to thenAttorney General Jeff Sessions. He became acting attorney general on Nov. 7 when Sessions was forced out. The Maryland filing was made Tuesday in a legal dispute with the Trump administration over the Affordable Care Act. That lawsuit names Sessions as a defendant. Maryland seeks an injunction that would prevent the Trump administration from responding to the state’s lawsuit, or, in the alternative, for a federal judge to name Rosenstein as a defendant over Whitaker. The state’s lawyers say that in addition to their concerns over the line of succession, Whitaker has “expressed idiosyncratic views that are inconsistent with longstanding Department of Justice policy.” They cite his criticism of the landmark Supreme Court opinion Marbury v. Madison, which ensured that courts had authority to strike down laws they considered unconstitutional.

midterm elections and rumors are swirling about a number of department heads, including Nielsen and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, as well as Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Still, Trump often expresses frustration with aides and does not take action — talk of Kelly’s exit has percolated for months and he remains in place. Zinke, who faces several ethics investigations, said in interview with The Associated

Press Monday that he has spoken in recent days with Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Kelly about probes into his leadership and they remain supportive. He denied any wrongdoing. Trump also told allies that he never fully trusted Nielsen, whom he associated with President George W. Bush, a longtime foe. And he told those close to him that he felt, at times, that her loyalty was more toward her longtime mentor — Kelly — than to the president.

Kelly’s status is also unclear, one of the people said. Questions about Nielsen’s job security are not new. Earlier this year, she pushed back on a New York Times report that she drafted a resignation letter but did not submit it, after Trump scolded her at a Cabinet meeting. And Trump has been known to suggest he wants to fire someone and then not do it. Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions was thought to be on the outs for months before he actually was pushed out.

Lawmakers near prison reform deal By KEVIN FREKING and LISA MASCARO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Senators have reached a tentative accord on the first major rewrite of criminal justice sentencing in a generation, but now it’s up to President Donald Trump to decide if it’s worth making a push for the sweeping bipartisan bill during the lame-duck session of Congress. The package has been a top priority of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and senators presented the ideas to Trump at the White House over the summer. Congressional aides and advocacy groups said the lawmakers are close to an agreement on the legislation, which would boost rehabilitation efforts for federal prisoners and give judges more discretion when sentencing nonviolent offenders, particularly for drug offenses. Holly Harris, executive director of Justice Action Network, a lead advocacy group, said “we’re hoping for a fullthroated endorsement” from the president. “This will be the most significant departure from the failed mandatory minimum policies of the 1990s,” Harris said. With support from a bipartisan coalition of senators — and top law enforcement groups — she said it’s “decision-making time.”

The bill is a rare bipartisan endeavor in a typically logjammed Congress and has attracted support from a unique coalition of liberal and conservative groups, including the ACLU and groups backed by the political donors Charles and David Koch. Critics say current sentencing guidelines are unfair and have had a lopsided impact on minority communities. Mark Holden, general counsel for Koch Industries and a longtime champion of prison reforms, said an endorsement from the Fraternal Order of Police has been critical in generating momentum for the bill. “You have a lot of people who want to get this done,” Holden said. He said the legislation should help federal inmates be better people when they leave prison than when they entered. “We wouldn’t be in favor of it if it didn’t protect public safety,” Holden said. The Senate package overhauls some of the mandatory sentencing guidelines that have been in place since 1994 legislation approved by Congress and signed into law by thenPresident Bill Clinton. Talks involved a bipartisan group headed by Sen. Chuck Grassley, the GOP chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Dick Durbin, the chamber’s secondranking Democrat, and others. But Trump’s backing remains

key to proceeding with any final product. “Senator Durbin has been negotiating in good faith but there won’t be any agreement on a criminal justice reform compromise unless and until President Trump supports it and asks the Republicans who control both chambers of Congress to move it forward,” said Emily Hampsten, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Democrat. Kushner may play an outsized role in the final outcome after having steered the legislation this far. “History will say this was a man with a mission,” Harris said. “He was really the critical voice that was able to hold the bipartisan alliance together.” The federal inmate population has been on the decline

since 2013, when it peaked at just more than 219,000. The total now stands at about 181,400, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Still, that’s about triple the number of inmates in federal detention 30 years ago. The House approved a prison reform bill in May, but the Senate package makes additional changes and adds the sentencing component. The Senate bill would end the shackling of pregnant women while the sentencing reforms would restrict so-called enhancements that can be added on to extend sentences. The Senate approach would also allow thousands of federal prisoners sentenced for crack cocaine offenses before August 2010 the opportunity to petition for a reduced penalty.

Amazon opens new outposts in New York, northern Virginia By JOSEPH PISANI AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon, which is growing too big for its Seattle hometown, is spreading out to the East Coast. The online shopping giant ended its 14-month-long competition for a second headquarters Tuesday by selecting New York and Arlington, Virginia, as the joint winners. The two cities will each get 25,000 jobs that pay an average of $150,000. But they’ll pay for it: New York is forking over more than $1.5 billion in tax credits and other incentives, while Arlington is offering about a third of that — $573 million. The communities hope that Amazon will attract other companies and ultimately boost their economies. Amazon, which started as an online bookstore two decades ago, has grown to a behemoth that had nearly $180 billion in revenue last year. It now owns well-known brands including grocer Whole Foods and online shoe-seller Zappos. It also makes movies and TV shows, runs an advertising business and offers cloud computing services to corporations and gov-

ernment agencies. The company has more than 610,000 employees worldwide, making it the second largest U.S.-based, publicly-traded employer behind Walmart. But it was the prospect of 50,000 jobs that led 238 communities across North America to pitch Amazon on why they should be home to the next headquarters. Amazon could have picked a struggling city desperate for new jobs. But instead it went with two of the nation’s largest and most powerful metro areas. The reason Amazon gave: they are best suited to attract the high-skilled workers the company wants. New York is the nation’s financial and media powerhouse and has been working to attract technology companies. Google already has more than 7,000 workers in the city and, according to media reports, is looking to add 12,000 more in coming years. Arlington is directly across the Potomac River from Washington. Many large government contractors have offices and lobbying operations there. However, many of its 1980sera office buildings have vacan-

BILLINGS, Mont. — The Trump administration plans to appeal a federal court ruling that would allow oil and gas drilling on land considered sacred to Native American tribes in Montana and Canada, U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said Tuesday. Zinke said it would be inappropriate to allow drilling in northwestern Montana’s Badger-Two Medicine area, site of the creation story for the Blackfoot tribes. He’s asked government attorneys to appeal a September ruling that reinstated a nearly 10-square-mile (26-square-kilometer) oil and gas lease in the area bordering the Blackfeet Reservation and Glacier National Park. The lease had been cancelled under President Barack Obama at the urging of the tribes and environmentalists before it was reinstated by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon. “I have tremendous respect for the Blackfeet Nation and strongly believe resource development in these most sacred of lands would be inappropriate,” Zinke said in a Tuesday interview with The Associated Press. An appeal will pit Zinke’s agency against an oil and gas company’s development plans — a relatively uncommon position for the pro-energy Trump administration. Lease owner Solenex LLC of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, had urged Zinke to uphold its drilling rights. “I’m very disappointed,” Solenex attorney William “Perry” Pendley with the Mountain States Legal Foundation. “What Zinke is asking for is the right of a secretary of Interior to cancel any oil and gas lease at any time for any reason.” Solenex has held the lease for more than 30 years. It has not yet drilled because of numerous bureaucratic delays within the U.S. departments of Interior and Agriculture that prompted the company to sue in 2013. The Badger-Two Medicine area is part of the Rocky Mountain Front, a scenic expanse of forested mountains that’s been subject to a long campaign to block oil and gas development and mining.

Ginsburg, 85, improving after fall but misses court session WASHINGTON — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has missed a brief court session while recovering from a fall and broken ribs. Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said the 85-year-old justice would not join her colleagues Tuesday morning when the court took the bench. Arberg says Ginsburg “continues to improve and is working from home.” The court previously said Ginsburg fractured three ribs in a fall last week. The court did not hear arguments Tuesday but took the bench briefly for other routine business. Ginsburg is the Supreme Court’s oldest justice. She fell in her office at the court last Wednesday, experienced discomfort overnight and went to George Washington University Hospital in Washington on Thursday. She was released from the hospital on Friday.

cies after thousands of federal employees moved elsewhere. Being near the nation’s capital could help Amazon with lobbying efforts as the company faces rising scrutiny from politicians. Amazon said it will spend $5 billion between both locations on construction and other projects. The new outposts won’t appear overnight. Amazon said hiring at the two headquarters will start next year, but it could take a decade or more to build

out its offices. Its New York location will be in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, while its Virginia offices will be in a part of Arlington that local politicians and Amazon are calling National Landing, a made-up area around Reagan National Airport that encompasses Crystal City and Potomac Yard. Both are waterfront communities away from overcrowded business districts, giving Amazon space to grow.

NEW YORK — The nation’s leading e-cigarette maker says it has halted store sales of its flavored products to deter use by kids. The announcement Tuesday by Juul Labs Inc. comes ahead of an expected government crackdown on underage sales of flavored e-cigs. Juul said it has stopped filling store orders for its mango, fruit, creme and cucumber pods but not menthol and mint. It will sell all flavors through its website and limit sales to those 21 and older. The company said it was closing its Facebook and Instagram accounts and pledged other steps to make it clear that it doesn’t want kids using Juul products. E-cigarettes are generally considered a less dangerous alternative to regular cigarettes, but health officials have warned the nicotine in them is harmful to developing brains. — The Associated Press

Cease-fire takes hold between Israel and Hamas By FARES AKRAM and JOSEF FEDERMAN Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas and other militant groups said Tuesday they had accepted an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire to end two days of intense fighting with Israel that had pushed the sworn enemies to the brink of a new war. The sudden announcement brought relief to a region that had been paralyzed by hundreds of Palestinian rocket attacks in southern Israel and scores of Israeli airstrikes on targets in the Gaza Strip. But it did not address the deeper issues that pushed Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers toward their latest violence and left doubts about international efforts to forge a broader truce agreement. Those efforts had appeared to be making progress in recent days as Israel allowed Qatar to deliver financial aid to the cashstrapped Hamas government, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that he wanted to avert an “unnecessary” war in Gaza. Hamas, in turn, had scaled back its mass protests that have led to weekly bloodshed along the Israeli border. But hours after Netanyahu spoke Sunday, an Israeli commando unit on an undercover mission was caught behind enemy lines in Gaza by Hamas militants. Their discovery set off a battle that led to the deaths of seven militants and an Israeli officer, and triggered the heavi-

est barrage of rocket fire since a 2014 war. The Israeli military said that Palestinian militants fired 460 rockets and mortars into Israel in a 24-hour period, while it carried out airstrikes on 160 targets in Gaza. Seven Palestinians, including five militants, were killed, and 26 people were wounded. In Israel, a 48-year-old Palestinian laborer was killed in a rocket strike on an apartment building where he was staying. Nearly 30 people were wounded, three critically. With air raid sirens wailing throughout southern Israel and the explosions of airstrikes

thundering in Gaza, the sides had appeared to be headed to what would have been their fourth war in a decade. But late Tuesday, Hamas and other military groups issued a joint statement saying they had accepted an Egyptian cease-fire. Terms of the deal appeared to be modest. Daoud Shehab, a spokesman for the Islamic Jihad militant group, said each side would promise quiet in exchange for quiet. “It’s a mutual commitment to the cease-fire,” he said. “From our side, we responded positively to the Egyptian endeavor on the condition that

the occupation does the same.” The announcement set off celebrations in Gaza City as Hamas supporters declared victory. At a demonstration staged in the rubble of Hamas’ TV station, demolished by an Israeli airstrike, crowds chanted the name of Hamas’ military wing. Shops reopened and cars jammed the streets. Israeli reconnaissance drones continued to buzz overhead. Ismail Radwan, a Hamas official, expressed Hamas’ commitment to the cease-fire but warned that “our hands are on the trigger” if Israel violates the agreement.

UK Cabinet to meet after Britain, EU reach draft Brexit deal

LONDON — After months of stalled talks, false starts and setbacks, negotiators from Britain and the European Union struck a proposed divorce deal Tuesday to provide for the U.K.’s smooth exit from the bloc. But the agreement faces major political hurdles starting Wednesday, when British Prime Minister Theresa May will try to win the approval of her divided Cabinet for a deal many ministers view with skepticism. The British government confirmed that the negotiating teams had reached a draft agreement and the Cabinet would hold a special meeting Wednesday afternoon to consider the proposal. Its support isn’t guaranteed: May is under pressure from pro-Brexit ministers not to make further concessions to the EU on the key issue of the Irish border.

Around the World

A spokesman for chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier urged caution, saying a deal wasn’t yet finalized and the bloc would “take stock” Wednesday. Ambassadors from the 27 other EU countries are also due to hold a meeting in Brussels on Wednesday. Britain wants to seal a deal this fall, so that Parliament has time to vote on it before the U.K. leaves the bloc on March 29. The European Parliament also has to approve any agreement, as do all 28 EU nations. Officials have said for weeks that agreement on divorce terms and a framework for future U.K.-EU relations was 95 percent complete, and for several days negotiators have been meeting late into the night in Brussels in a bid to close the remaining gaps. The main obstacle has long been how to ensure there are no customs posts or other checks along the border between the U.K.’s Northern Ire-

land and EU member Ireland after Brexit. Britain and the EU agree that there must be no barriers that could disrupt businesses and residents on either side of the border and undermine Northern Ireland’s hard-won peace process — but they have differed on how to achieve that. Irish national broadcaster RTE said the draft agreement involves a common customs arrangement for the U.K. and the EU, to eliminate the need for border checks, with special provisions for Northern Ireland and a review mechanism to oversee its functioning. A sticking point in talks has been Britain’s insistence that any such customs arrangement must be temporary. The EU says that in order to guarantee an open border, it can’t have a time limit.

The pound rallied on news of a deal, rising 1.5 percent against the dollar to $1.3038. But May faces pressure from pro-Brexit Cabinet members and lawmakers not to agree to an arrangement that binds Britain to EU trade rules indefinitely. Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, a staunch “Brexiteer,” said the deal was unacceptable and Cabinet ministers should “chuck it out.” May also faces growing opposition from pro-EU lawmakers, who say her proposed Brexit deal is worse than the status quo and the British public should get a new vote on whether to leave or to stay. Opposition from both sides of the Brexit divide means May could struggle to get a deal approved by Parliament.

UNITED NATIONS — Iraq’s new government plans to intensify efforts to uproot cells of the Islamic State extremist group and introduce “robust measures” to achieve sustainable security throughout the country, the country’s U.N. envoy said Tuesday. Jan Kubis told the U.N. Security Council there are almost daily reports of the arrest or elimination of the militant group’s “terrorists, their leaders, sleeper cells and hideouts.” Iraq declared victory over IS last year, but the group continues to carry out scattered attacks, particularly in the north. The extremists have lost virtually all the territory they once ruled in Syria and Iraq, but still control small, remote pockets in eastern Syria along the border. Kubis said most IS movements in recent months have been to the western border with Syria and Iraq has responded by deploying thousands of troops on its side. But he said the group, also known as Daesh, remains active in other Iraqi provinces as well, notably Kirkuk, Salah ad Din and Diyala. Earlier this month, U.N. investigators reported discovering at least 202 mass graves in Iraq containing between 6,000 and 12,000 bodies believed to be victims of atrocities by IS during its three-year reign Kubis said the U.N. political mission in Iraq “continues to advocate for justice and accountability for international crimes,” and he told the council the head of a U.N. investigative team promoting accountability for IS crimes, Karim Khan, arrived in Iraq on Oct. 30. Kubis, who is stepping down in January after almost four years, said the particularly difficult period he served as U.N. envoy “has against all odds and skepticism ended well, with a promising future prospect for the country and our role in assisting it.”

Greek authorities say lost ancient city of Tenea is located ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s culture ministry said Tuesday that archaeologists have located the first tangible remains of a lost city that the ancient Greeks believed was first settled by Trojan captives of war after the sack of Troy. A ministry statement said excavations from September to early October in the southern Greek region of the Peleponnese turned up “proof of the existence of the ancient city” of Tenea, until now known mostly from ancient texts. Finds included walls and clay, marble or stone floors of buildings, as well as household pottery, a bone gaming die and more than 200 coins dating from the 4th century B.C. to late Roman times. A pottery jar containing the remains of two human fetuses was also found amid the foundations of one building. That was unusual, as the ancient Greeks typically buried their dead in organized cemeteries outside the city walls. Lead archaeologist Elena Korka, who has been excavating in the area since 2013, told The Associated Press that her team had only been digging in the rich cemeteries surrounding Tenea until this year. In one, antiquities smugglers dug up two remarkable 6th century B.C. marble statues of young men in 2010 and tried to sell them for 10 million euros. — The Associated Press

the Kenai Peninsula — KTVA reported in December 2017 that the family was living in Kenai — but authorities said three were arrested in Ohio. Police in Kentucky say the FBI tracked “Billy” Wagner to Lexington, where he was arrested without incident at around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. Lexington police weren’t sure if he had been living in the area. Authorities said Wagner was arrested in a horse trailer that was pulled over. It’s the culmination of a massive investigative effort since seven adults and a teenage boy were found shot in the head at four homes in April 2016. Investigators scrambling to determine who targeted the Rhoden family and why had conducted over 130 interviews and processed over 100 pieces of evidence and 550 tips, while getting assistance from more than 20 law enforcement agencies. Dewine said the case involved an “obsession with the custody and control of children” and called it one of the

most bizarre situations he has seen. He also said the Wagner family knew the victims well and spent months studying their routines and the layouts of their homes. “They had thought about it, a lot” he said. Authorities in June of 2017 announced they were seeking information about the Wagners, including details on personal or business interactions and conversations that people may have had with the four. None was named a suspect at the time. Investigators also said they had searched property in southern Ohio sold by the Wagners. Both Jake Wagner and Angela Wagner told the Cincinnati Enquirer they were not involved in the April 2016 killings. Angela Wagner said in an email to the newspaper that what happened was devastating and Hanna Rhoden was like a daughter to her. Wagner also told The Enquirer that her husband, Billy, and Christopher Rhoden Sr. were more like brothers than friends. John Clark, a lawyer who has been representing the Wagners, said a year ago that four of the Wagner family members had provided laptops, phones

and DNA samples to investigators, and agreed to be interviewed about the slayings. Clark said Tuesday the family will be vindicated. “We look forward to the day when the true culprits will be discovered and brought to justice for this terrible tragedy,” Clark said in a statement. He added: “The Wagners are also very hopeful that in the ensuing months there will be a thorough vetting of all the facts.” The Wagner family has lived in Peebles, Ohio, at the time of the killings but later moved to Alaska. Clark told The Cincinnati Enquirer that the family was being “harassed while the real killer or killers are out there.” A coroner said all but one of the victims was shot more than once, including two people shot five times and one shot nine times. Some also had bruising, consistent with the first 911 caller’s description of two victims appearing to have been beaten. The coroner’s report didn’t specify which victims had which wounds. Authorities said marijuana growing operations were found at three of the four crime scenes. That’s not uncommon in this corner of Appalachia but stoked rumors that the slayings were related to drugs,

forming in the play. She said it’s important for people to come and see the show because the story addresses questions the community is still asking. “Sometimes progress is good,” Zopf-Schoessler said. “Sometimes it brings more problems.” Zopf-Schoessler said the play is slightly different than the original production, and that more effort was put into representing the perspective of the Dena’ina people. Peter Kalifornsky, a local Dena’ina man who wrote and shared stories of the Dena’ina people and language, acted as a cultural liaison in the original production. For the 50th anniversary revival, Bunny Swan, the Dena’ina Cultural Ambassador for the Kenaitze Tribe, worked as a Dena’ina consultant on the project. Swan is also acting in the play as a Dena’ina woman named Ashana. “I’m honored to be in Peter’s role (as a cultural ambassador),” Swan said. “Over the years the play has really evolved and grown.

story of Kenai, so it’s really neat.” In the original productions in 1975, 1981 and 1991, Marge O’Reilly played the part of Gert, the Kenai taxi driver. Now, her daughter, Margaret Gilman, is taking on the role of Gert in the upcoming revival show. “It’s really a powerful thing to be able to play a part

that meant so much to her,” Gilman said. Gilman was able to see her mother perform in every show she participated in. She said when it came time for her to audition for the part, she found she already had the part memorized from when she used to help her mother learn her lines. The upcoming show is really a family affair

for Gilman, who is performing alongside her brother and sister. “The Ballad of Kenai” will be available for one weekend only at 7 p.m., Nov. 15-17 and 2 p.m., Nov. 17 and 18 at the Renee C.

health and fitness, ethics and reasoning and more to the inmates — exercising both their minds and bodies to help when the time comes to transition back into the public. “We’re trying to create better prisoners, to show them that there’s benefits to being a better person,” said Anthony Garcia, who teaches a weekly moral and ethics class to his fellow inmates. “It’s all about building character, building a good moral foundation because without training like that, you get out of here an old, bitter prisoner.” On Mondays and Saturdays, correctional officer Justin Ennis leads a running group around the yard, teaching techniques, skills and pushing the

inmates to push themselves in races. Other inmates participate in yoga classes or writing classes. Those outside the prison have also contributed to the Restorative Justice Initiative, including Altra Running Shoes, which donates shoes for the running club, or The Fish House/Bay Traders True Value in Seward, which donated boots for the prisoners who work with dogs to prepare them for adoption. There are also community volunteers, like Liberty Miller, who has been volunteering at Spring Creek since May and helped organize Monday night’s event. Miller’s brother was murdered and she said that volunteering at the prison has

been a cathartic way to heal, a chance to practice forgiveness. “These guys understand that we’re experiencing something together, from different sides of it,” Miller said. “I want to thank them for being so good to me and changing my life.” Most importantly though, the inmates at Spring Creek Correctional Center are hoping to continue their conversation with the community. “It’s not just about being nice to us. It’s looking at us as people. It helps,” said Garcia. “It’s about doing what’s right for the community. You put a person with morals, ethics and character out there and he’s a better person then when he came in. If you don’t, the community suffers.”

WICHITA, Kan. — A California man pleaded guilty Tuesday to making a hoax call that ultimately led police to fatally shoot a Kansas man following a dispute between two online gamers over $1.50 bet in a Call of Duty WWII video game. Tyler R. Barriss, 26, admitted to making the false report resulting in a death, as well as cyberstalking and conspiracy related to the deadly swatting calls in Kansas. The deal with prosecutors will send him to prison for between 20 and 25 years, if the judge accepts it. He had previously pleaded not guilty in Kansas. As part of the plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Barriss pleaded guilty to a total of 51 charges that included federal charges initially filed in California and the District of Columbia related to other fake calls and threats. Defense attorney Richard Federico told the court his client is accepting responsibility and is attempting to “clear the deck” of all federal charges. Barriss, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, stood with his hands folded in front of him as he entered his pleas. “Without ever stepping foot in Wichita, the defendant created a chaotic situation that quickly turned from dangerous to deadly,” U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said in a news release. “His reasons were trivial and his disregard for the safety of other people was staggering.”

EPA seeks new truck pollution rules DETROIT — The Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to rewrite rules that limit pollution from heavy trucks but that the EPA says slow the economy. Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler argues that new technology can help improve air quality, noting that the regulation of harmful nitrogen oxide emissions hasn’t been revamped since 2000. EPA officials were to announce the plans Tuesday but offered few details and said they were just beginning a regulatory process that can take years. “We are doing it because it’s good for the environment,” said Wheeler, who notes that the EPA is under no requirement to redo the regulation. “Our goal is to update our standards so that we can get these new technologies in use across the country.” The proposed “Cleaner Trucks Initiative” is drawing expressions of hope but skepticism from some environmental groups, especially because the EPA under President Donald Trump already has proposed relaxing emissions requirements for light passenger cars and trucks by freezing them at 2020 levels. Andrew Linhardt, the Sierra Club’s deputy director for clean transportation, said his group is wary, and it wants to see details. Linhardt said he would favor the adoption of rules that would reduce nitrogen oxide emissions but doubts that the administration wants to do that. “Unfortunately, this administration and this leadership of the EPA do not fill us with much confidence that this will be a real air pollution reduction measure,” Linhardt said. — Associated Press

The Greatest Generation: Part II 1930s to 1960s I stated last week I was born in 1937. Families did not have much money and worked hard to put food on the table. We were barely coming out of the Great Depression when World War II started. Our thoughts turned to our loved ones — who were in the draft and classified by their type of work and age. My Dad was a farmer and was classified as 4-F — because he was essential in helping the war effort by providing crops. Dad always mentioned that he was sorry he could not join his brothers who were in the service. Uncle Guy was in the Army, and so was Uncle Evan. Uncle Lester was in the Army Air Corps and stationed at times in India, flying the “Hump” over the Himalayas. They all made it back to America safely. Uncle Lester contacted malaria and spent many months in the hospital in Denver. Uncle Guy and Uncle Evan never mentioned what they did. And often mentioned there was no place like home. We subscribed to Life Magazine during that part of our lives. It had many graphic pictures of the “horribles” of the war. It was read and re-read all month until the next copy came out. I studied and studied that magazine. Probably that is where I learned most of the history of WWII I also wrote to my Uncles and my cousins, some of the Stonebrakers boys were in the Navy. My Dad’s sister, Aunt Laura, had eight boys, some of them old enough to defend our country. I waited months and months for a reply and sometimes the envelope had been opened and some words were inked out and censored, such as where the location of their service and what they were doing. The Korean War was just as devastating, and most of the time Dad would say it was so, so unnecessary. The Vietnam War took place while my kids were small, and I worried if it lasted forever, if they would be drafted. When I met Bob in 1985, I learned he was drafted at 26 and sent to Fort Bliss for training. On his way overseas the plane stopped in Anchorage. He told himself someday he would be back to live there. His dream is a true story. He came to Alaska in 1983. I am so lucky to have met him. Now, 33 years later, we are in our late years. Bob was the oldest of the group going overseas. He was based during the Vietnam War in Okinawa, on a missile base. Some of his group went on to Vietnam and other outlying areas. He maintained missiles and kept them in tip-top shape. He had a secret clearance, which he has to this day. It has helped him with jobs living in Alaska. He and his forever friend John JT worked on a missile base — just about the windiest place in the world. His military career has helped him secure jobs through the years. He was hired by Raytheon after he was out of the service, but he did not want to live in a big city. He is a Wyoming, open-range-loving, person. He did go to college after the service and majored in electronics. So, I salute Bob and all the veterans this November. So we NEVER forget that they all sacrificed to keep our America free. During Vietnam period, Eisenhower was sent to Vietnam as an adviser. Castro took over Cuba. During the Bay of Pigs and Kennedy’s failure at this adventure, I thought I should go to Alaska, because it was far away from any invasion from Cuba. I think that was in 1962, so it took me five years to get to Alaska. And this is where I have been for 51 years. Our generation has experienced some times when there were no threats to our homeland. Our age was in the 40s and 50s — the war was over and terrorism, global warming had yet to raise their ugly faces. So, for a while, we felt secure in our economic world. We can remember the Great War, and the security of a bright future loomed. We have lived through all of these and more. Yes, we lived in the best of possible times — when we thought the world was better and full of See ANNIE, page A11

Make this green bean casserole ahead of the party and relax By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

Green bean casserole is a holiday staple, so we set out to develop a version that could be assembled in advance to make our holiday cooking easier. To ensure that the flavor of the casserole didn’t become dull in the freezer, we boosted flavor by using plenty of garlic, white wine and fragrant thyme. After testing a number of ways to par-cook the beans, we discovered that the easiest solution was also the best: simply add them raw. Tossing the beans with a bit of cornstarch before putting them in the baking dish helped to thicken any liquid they exuded during cooking. We stuck with a classic crunchy topping of canned fried onions and bread crumbs.

Green Bean Casserole Servings: 10-12 Start to finish: 3 hours, 20 minutes (Active time: 45 minutes) Topping: 2 slices hearty white sandwich bread, torn into pieces 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups canned fried onions Casserole: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 10 ounces white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced thin 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 6 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups chicken broth 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1/2 cup dry white wine 2 pounds green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 1/4 cup cornstarch For the topping: Pulse bread, melted butter, and salt in food processor to coarse crumbs, about 6 pulses. Combine bread crumbs and fried onions in bowl. Set aside. For the casserole: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 F. Melt butter in 12inch skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook until mushrooms release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in flour and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in broth, cream, and wine and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Toss green beans with cornstarch in large bowl and transfer to 13

This apple crisp gets an unlikely boost from cranberries By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

Filling:

Although it’s hard to imagine that apple crisp needs much improvement, we liked the tartness and texture that cranberries added to one of our favorite standard dessert recipes. The challenges were balancing the fruit flavors and making sure that the filling baked evenly while the topping stayed crisp. We achieved the perfect fruit mix by combining fresh and dried cranberries, and we precooked all the fruit and added tapioca to thicken the juices. This step shortened the oven time and ensured that the classic butter, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and oat topping lived up to the name “crisp.” If you can’t find Braeburn apples, Golden Delicious will work. While old-fashioned rolled oats are preferable in this recipe, quick oats can be substituted; do not use instant oats. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

1 pound (4 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries 1 1/4 cups (8 3/4 ounces) granulated sugar 1/4 cup water 2 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 2 1/2 pounds Braeburn apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries 3 tablespoons Minute Tapioca For the topping: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 F. Pulse flour, sugars, cinnamon, and butter in food processor until mixture has texture of coarse crumbs (some pea-size pieces of butter will remain), about 12 pulses. Transfer to medium bowl, stir in oats, and use fingers to pinch topping into peanutsized clumps. Refrigerate while preparing filling. For the filling: Bring cranberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and water to simmer in Dutch oven over medium-high heat and cook until cranberries are completely softened and mixture is jamlike, about 10 minutes; transfer to bowl. Cook apples, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and dried cranberries in nowempty Dutch oven over medium-high heat until apples begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in cranberry mixture and tapioca. Transfer filling to 13-by 9-inch baking dish set on rimmed baking sheet. Smooth surface evenly with spatula and scatter topping evenly over filling. Bake until juices are bubbling and

peace. Our generation saw an explosion of growth. My Dad took advantage of college at Colorado State University — whose mascot at the time was the “Aggies” — in Fort Collins, to improve on the 80 acres that he bought in the late 40s. He turned his 80 acres of alkali soil into a productive land that produced sugar beats and qualified him to be in the “Big Ten Sugar Producers” category. He was so proud to be in the Soil Conservation Bank also. He worked closely with the college. He thanked Roosevelt over and over again for all his help giving agriculture a boost. He turned his little farm into a ranch and eventually bought two other farms almost adjacent to ours. Then he bought two ranches up near Red Feather Lakes on the Wyoming border for a cattle raising. This is the generation I remember — and how successful our own Dad was in the Greatest Generation. Farming and ranching is “on-hands,” hard, 24-hour work. Our farm was an irrigation farm and he irrigated up all his crops, a round-the-clock job in the summer. Yes, in ways there was an overflow of opportunity and a world of plenty. We welcomed it!! And so did my Mom and Dad and people that grew up during the Great Depression. We now live in a society of wastefulness, in my opinion. A time of throw-away clothes. I had three dresses and two pairs of shoes in grade school. One pair for school and the other for church. In high school we wore black-and-white Saddle Oxfords, with our pink poodle skirts that we made ourselves. We polished the white on our shoes every night. We hand-washed our skirts and blouses if we had to, if it was not wash day. We bobbypin curled our hair each night — at least I did because I was not blessed with auburn, naturally curly hair like my two sisters. My blonde straight-asa-string hair barely held a curl all day long. I loved Dippitydo gel, which you plastered on your hair, then pinned the curls to your head and hoped that it dried overnight. It was my best friend. I brushed and combed

We all smelled the same in school — like hairspray. Boys wore Saddle Oxfords too, or Penny Loafers. You put a penny of your birth date in the top of the slot on the shoe. Boys also wore “duck-tail” hairdos. Long hair, combed back to a point that looked like a “duck tail” in the back. I still like that style. They wore white starched shirts tucked into Levi’s and a nice leather belt. They looked so handsome. On Fridays girls could wear jeans to school. I wore my Dad’s white shirt with the tail out to school. We all looked alike that day in school!! We took pride in ourselves and were polite to everyone. Teachers were to be looked up to. The principle KNEW all the answers. In high school I learned to be an editor of our school paper. My English teacher was very important to me. She spent lots of time getting me from a shy farm girl to an almost-confident person. I had a hard time learning to type and learning to speak correctly, not to revert to my slow Kansas drawl that I inherited from our Dad. I am blessed with his pleasure of telling stories and jokes. I can’t remember too many jokes anymore, but I do have a great memory of the past. Now, if you ask me where and what I did yesterday — that is a different story. I have learned if I have lost anything in the kitchen, look in the refrigerator first! So the Greatest Generation is in its 70s and 80s now, and we are not sure that history will repeat itself or go back to the Great Depression. I think there are ways to stop the spiral of some things nowadays, but the threat of war always looms. I feel safe where I am, and will always be grateful I moved to Alaska. (I reserve the right to change my opinion with the winter months setting in!!) Thanks for all the calls and emails concerning my last article. I love what you have to say and appreciate all the nice compliments. Thank you!

A tender and fluffy alternative to plain white dinner rolls cuts through the bread’s gluten structure, leaving you with a dense product. To produce a light, fluffy whole-wheat roll, we’d have to incorporate some all-purpose flour—but not so much that we’d lose the roll’s earthy, nutty whole-wheat flavor. We also had success when we made a very wet dough. The excess liquid softened the bran’s edges, ensuring that it didn’t wreak havoc on the dough’s structure. To boost the honey flavor, we used 6 tablespoons instead of the 2 tablespoons that many recipes call for. As a bonus, the liquid honey hydrated the dough further and contributed softness. And to make sure the flavor came through loud and clear, we brushed the warm baked rolls with honey butter. With this finishing touch, our fluffy, pleasantly sweet, nutty-tasting rolls really earned their honey-wheat title.

HONEY-WHEAT DINNER ROLLS

Good honey-wheat dinner rolls have the softness of white rolls, with satisfying heft and a nutty whole-wheat flavor that’s complemented by a touch of floral sweetness. That said, these appealing

rolls rarely hit the mark: Commercial versions are soft but taste artificially sweet, while homemade rolls have good flavor but can be as dense as wet sand. We wanted a flavorful alternative to white rolls that was tender and fluffy and that actu-

ally tasted like its namesake ingredients. What makes achieving great whole-wheat breads so difficult is the presence of the bran. This part of the grain, which is removed from white flour, gives whole-wheat flour its distinct hearty flavor. But the bran is sharp—so sharp that it

Servings: 15 Start to finish: 4 1/4 to 5 1/4 hours (rising time: 2 1/2- 3 1/2 hours; baking time 25 minutes) Key Equipment: 13-by 9-inch baking dish, pastry brush 2 1/2 cups (13 3/4 ounces) whole-wheat flour 1 3/4 cups (8 3/4 ounces) allpurpose flour 2 1/4 teaspoons instant or rapid-rise yeast 2 1/4 teaspoons salt 1 3/4 cups (14 ounces) whole

Whisk milk, 6 tablespoons honey, 4 tablespoons melted butter, and egg in 4-cup liquid measuring cup until honey has dissolved. Using dough hook on low speed, slowly add milk mixture to flour mixture and mix until cohesive dough starts to form and no dry flour remains, about 2 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. Increase speed to medium-low and knead until dough is smooth and elastic and clears sides of bowl but sticks to bottom, about 8 minutes. Transfer dough to lightly floured counter and knead by hand to form smooth, round ball, about 30 seconds. Place dough seam side down in lightly greased large bowl or container, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Make foil sling for 13-by 9-inch baking dish by folding 2 long sheets of aluminum foil; first sheet should be 13 inches wide and second sheet should be 9 inches wide. Lay sheets of foil in dish perpendicular to each other, with extra foil hanging over edges of dish. Push

foil into corners and up sides of dish, smoothing foil flush to dish, then spray foil with vegetable oil spray. Press down on dough to deflate. Transfer dough to clean counter and stretch into even 15-inch log. Cut log into 15 equal pieces (about 2 1/2 ounces each) and cover loosely with greased plastic. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time (keep remaining pieces covered), form into rough ball by stretching dough around your thumbs and pinching edges together so that top is smooth. Place ball seam side down on clean counter and, using your cupped hand, drag in small circles until dough feels taut and round. Arrange dough balls seam side down into 5 rows of 3 in prepared dish, cover loosely with greased plastic, and let rise until nearly doubled in size and dough springs back minimally when poked gently with your knuckle, 1 to 11/2 hours.

Adjust oven rack to lowermiddle position and heat oven to 350 F. Gently brush rolls with egg mixture and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating dish halfway through baking. Combine remaining honey and melted butter in bowl. Let rolls cool in dish for 15 minutes. Using foil overhang, transfer rolls to wire rack and brush with honey mixture.

Bell ends own season by waiting out Steelers By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — Le’Veon Bell’s patience on the football field sets him apart. In a game built on chaos, the star running back rarely hurries or makes hasty decisions. His ability to put his hand on the back of an offensive lineman while waiting for the hole to open — much like a child sticking close to a parent in a crowded store — helps him make the remarkably difficult at times look remarkably easy. His career at a crossroads partly of his own making, Bell will have to rely on that patience now more than ever after the two-time All-Pro declined to sign his one-year, $14.4 million franchise tender with the Pittsburgh Steelers by Tuesday’s deadline, making him ineligible to play for the AFC

North leaders or anyone else this season. The unprecedented move sets Bell up for the potentially big-time payday he has long been searching when he becomes a free agent in the spring, provided there’s a team willing to splurge on one of the league’s more talented if mercurial players. While TV cameras set up outside the team’s practice facility on Tuesday to catch Bell if he decided to show up for work for the first time in nearly 10 months, the 26-year-old never pulled up to the gates, ending — for now — one of the more unusual labor standoffs between a team and a player in the era of free agency. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin seemed resigned to Bell’s decision shortly before the 4 p.m. deadline, saying simply “so be it” when asked about the possibility of Bell not returning to the team that selected him

in the second round of the 2013 draft and helped mold him into one of the league’s most dynamic threats. “Even when we don’t understand it, we’re sensitive to it, so we’re not shocked when things happen from a business standpoint, no,” Tomlin said. The Steelers (6-2-1), who have won five straight to sprint to the top of the division heading into a visit to Jacksonville on Sunday, will turn to second-year back James Conner and reserves Stevan Ridley and rookie Jaylen Samuels to help shoulder the load with Bell out of the picture. Conner, third in the NFL with 771 yards rushing, remained in the concussion protocol on Tuesday after leaving last Thursday’s blowout win against Carolina but could practice as early as Wednesday. All season Tomlin stressed he was focused on the players in the locker room and not the ones outside it. He

hardly seemed bothered by the idea of Pittsburgh’s quest for a postseason berth continuing without Bell. “That train has left the station,” Tomlin said. “We’re comfortable with how we function, the people at our disposal, the division of labor and our ability to ready ourselves for the challenges.” The Steelers drafted Bell with the 48th overall pick five years ago, won over by his youth, size and versatility. Along with wide receiver Antonio Brown, Bell became the linchpin in which the Steelers rebuilt themselves on the fly as the franchise’s identity shifted from away from the defense that fueled three Super Bowl appearances in six years from 2005-2010 toward an offense that ranked among the most explosive in the league. The makeover relied heavily on Bell, whose patient running style became his trademark while helping Pittsburgh to four straight playoff berths.

Bell is one of only three players in recent NFL history to be franchise tagged in consecutive seasons. The first two — linebacker Karlos Dansby and quarterback Kirk Cousins — played all 16 games during their second seasons under the tag then went and cashed in elsewhere in free agency. As his profile rose, Bell insisted he wasn’t merely a running back, pointing to his success as a receiver — he finished 10th in the league with 85 catches in 2017 — as proof that he should be paid far above his peers. When Bell and the Steelers failed to reach an agreement on a new deal last summer, he said “both sides worked extremely hard” in an attempt to get something done. When it didn’t happen, he skipped training camp again, just as he did in 2017. His teammates stressed it was no big deal, confident Bell would show up in time for the regular-season opener.

Warriors get win Warriors suspend Green 1 game over Atlanta Golden State takes action after star play scuffles with Durant By The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — Kevin Durant scored 29 points with a key jumper in the final minute, a day after a shouting episode on the bench with Draymond Green led to his teammate’s suspension Tuesday, and the undermanned Golden State Warriors held off the Atlanta Hawks 110-103. Klay Thompson added 24 points as Splash Brother Stephen Curry missed his third straight game with a strained left groin. The two-time MVP shuffled and danced as he celebrated big plays from the bench. Taurean Prince scored 22 points, making four 3-pointers and finishing 8 for 14 from the floor in the Hawks’ fifth straight loss and ninth in 10. Durant led the way hours after the Warriors suspended AllStar Green for one game without pay for conduct detrimental to the team. He got into it with Durant on the bench at the end of regulation in a 121-116 overtime road loss to the Clippers and Green wasn’t even at the arena Tuesday.

ROCKETS 109, NUGGETS 99 DENVER (AP) — James Harden scored 19 of his 22 points in the second half and Houston pulled away to beat Denver, sending the Nuggets to a fourth straight loss. Harden also had 11 assists, with several going to Clint Capela, who led the Rockets with 24 points, including a series of dunks. Chris Paul added 21 points for Houston, playing for a third straight game without Carmelo Anthony because of what the team said was an illness.

Caps get Wilson back, cool off Wild By The Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Tom Wilson returned early from his player-safety suspension and scored a first-period goal, helping the Washington Capitals cool off Minnesota with a 5-2 victory on Tuesday night for the Wild’s first regulation loss at home. Dmitry Orlov had his first two goals of the season and an assist, Andre Burakovsky and T.J. Oshie also scored and Pheonix Copley made 26 saves for the Capitals, whose fourgame trip was jump-started in the morning by an arbitrator’s reduction of Wilson’s 20-game ban by six games to make him immediately eligible. Mikko Koivu and Matt Dumba had goals for the Wild, who played at home for the first time in 17 days after a 5-2 finish on their franchise-record seven-game road swing. They fell to 5-1-2 at Xcel Energy Center, becoming the last team in the NHL to lose at home in regulation this season.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Golden State Warriors don’t expect Draymond Green’s latest dustup with Kevin Durant to become a long-term issue for the twotime defending NBA champions. Nor do they expect the emotional Green to change after his one-game suspension by the team Tuesday. Green was suspended one game without pay for conduct detrimental to the team following an altercation a night earlier with Durant, though general manager Bob Myers declined to offer specifics on the All-Star forward’s behavior that was considered going too far. Myers and Steve Kerr collaborated on the decision. “We just felt like this rose to the level of acting the way we did,” Myers said, noting of Green: “He was professional. He loves to play basketball, which is all you can ask of him.” The Warriors made the announcement about four hours before they were set to host Atlanta, and the 28-year-old Green was serving the suspension against the Hawks. He wasn’t at Oracle Arena and didn’t immediately respond to a text message seeking comment. “I think we’ll be fine,” Kerr said. “We’re a team that goes through stuff,

just like everybody else. And things happen, bumps in the road. You’ve got to move forward. It’s all part of coaching a team, it’s all part of being on a team. You have to get through the adversity and there are some difficult times and you just get through them.” In the closing seconds of regulation during Monday’s 121-116 overtime loss on the road to the Clippers, Green secured a rebound and, with Durant calling for the ball, instead dribbled the length of the court into traffic and lost control as the Warriors failed to get a shot off. Durant was shown on camera visibly upset immediately afterward. Then, back on the bench waiting for the extra period to begin, the two traded words and gestured with Klay Thompson seated between them and Andre Iguodala, DeMarcus Cousins and others trying to calm the situation. For everyone who figures this franchise is perfect, Myers quickly cleared up that notion. “It’s hard to win a championship. You can’t allow anything else in your locker room, in the narrative. This team has done a good job of that,” Myers said. “I know it may appear as if it’s looked easy over the last however many years. It’s not. If you’re in our locker room, if you’re in our organization, it’s hard.

“And so they’ll get through it, and we’ll keep moving. Hopefully we get to the finals and win a championship. That’s all anybody’s thinking about, because I think that’s all you can think about. That’s something that we’re going to keep doing. This team has proven that they will do that and continue to do that and have done that.” Myers and Kerr have long supported Green’s fiery nature that leads to technical fouls. Myers even sat with Green next door to Oracle Arena at the Oakland Coliseum when Green was suspended for a crucial Game 5 loss to LeBron James and the Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals. The Warriors wound up losing in seven. Green apologized after yelling at Kerr during halftime of a game at Oklahoma City in February 2016. “My feeling on Draymond and his impact on our team doesn’t change. These things happen sometimes over the course of an NBA season,” Kerr said. “We deal with it — again, internally — so any conversations that are happening or have happened it’s our business.” This wasn’t the first verbal altercation between Durant, the two-time reigning NBA Finals MVP, and Green. In another overtime loss, 109-106 at Sacramento on Feb. 4, 2017, they shouted at each other and argued near the bench.

Grandmother is still waiting for thank-yous from teens thank-you notes is they don’t know what to say, or they are afraid they will say the wrong thing. They think the note has to be long and flowery when, in fact, short and to the point is more effective. That’s the reason “How to Write Letters” was written. It contains samples of thank-you letters for birth- Abigail Van Buren day gifts, shower gifts, wedding gifts, as well as those that arrive around holiday time. It also includes letters of congratulations and ones that are especially difficult to write -- including letters of condolence for the loss of a parent, a spouse or a child. It can be ordered by sending your name, mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Letters Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.) It can be used to tailor your own messages. With the

holiday season approaching and people sending gifts and messages through the end of the year, this is the perfect time to be able to reply with a handwritten letter, note or well-written email. Because composition of letters and notes is not always effectively taught in the schools, my booklet can provide an easy way for parents to teach their children proper etiquette -- a valuable lesson that will last them a lifetime. DEAR ABBY: Most of my friends are guys, and people tend to assume that I have slept with them or that we have dated, but it’s not true. How do I answer when someone asks, “Is this your boyfriend?” or, “Have you guys dated?” without coming off as offended when I answer? -- NOT THE CASE DEAR NOT THE CASE: All you have to do is smile and say, “We’re not involved romantically. We’re friends.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2018: This year you approach your domestic life with greater focus. You will want more freedom to do what you want. You also might be considering adding on to your home, remodeling it or relocating. If you are single, a new sweetie could be driving this compulsion. Be sure that you want this commitment. If you are attached, the two of you work well as a team. What you create will be a reflection of who both of you are. AQUARIUS encourages you to take a walk on the wild side. 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) HHH Touch base with a friend before you get too distracted by what’s going on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might notice that everyone seems to be reaching out to you, and somehow, even if you’re not involved, you could become the center of quite a few projects! Think before you say too much or give your opinions too easily. Tonight: Do something you’ve postponed for a while. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH If you feel somewhat under the weather, slow down and take care of yourself. Something might be bothering you that needs to be dealt with.

Time for Pumpkin Pie Spice! Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for PUMPKIN PIE SPICE that came in very handy the last time I made a pumpkin pie. However, that was last year. Could you repeat that spice combination? -- Frances P., Kaysville, Utah Frances, I’d be happy to do that for you: Pumpkin Pie Spice 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon allspice 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg This makes enough pumpkin spice for one pumpkin pie. If you want to make more, just double or triple the amounts. Store in a clean, labeled spice container. If you like this recipe, you’ll love my Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlet. To get a copy, send $3, along with a stamped (71 cents), self-addressed, long envelope, to: Heloise/Seasonings, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Or you can order it online at www.Heloise. com. It’s a handy guide for enhancing the flavor of foods. -- Heloise P.S. Spice and herbs will stay fresher longer if you store them away from heat, moisture and light. A FEW KITCHEN HINTS Dear Heloise: Here are a few kitchen hints I’ve learned over the years: * Never use an aluminum bowl or pan to beat egg whites. It will darken them. * To avoid lumps in any batter, try adding just a little salt to the flour before it gets wet. That should do the trick. * If you heat lemons before using, you’ll get much more juice. * Before you bake an apple, be sure to prick the apple skin in a few places to keep the skin from bursting. -- A Reader, via email

DEAR ABBY: It seems the children I raised and taught to write thank-you notes somehow failed to teach their children the importance of being grateful receivers. My two teenage grandchildren have never thanked me for a birthday or Christmas gift. I gave one of them a set of personalized notepaper, but it didn’t spur any action. Birthdays have come and gone this year, but Christmas is on the way. I’m wondering what I can do to reach these young people in a meaningful manner. I’m older now and don’t know how much longer I’ll be around to influence them. I recall you had a booklet that addresses writing thank-you notes, among other subjects. Do you still have it available? -- LOVING GRAN IN OKLAHOMA DEAR LOVING GRAN: Yes, my “How to Write Letters” booklet is still available. And it’s because the topic of thank-you notes (or the lack of them) is one of the most common complaints I get from readers. If someone sends a gift or a check and it isn’t acknowledged, the message the giver receives is that it wasn’t appreciated, which is insulting and hurtful. One of the main reasons people don’t send

Terry Federer of AVTEC receives a check from Marathon to upgrade its ship simulator.

Capt. Marc Bayer congratulates Terry Federer of AVTEC’s maritime training center.

AVTEC’s Alaska Maritime Training Center recently received a $95,000 Donation from Andeavor Marathon Petroleum. The donation will support AVTEC’s arctic and ice navigation readiness project, which will upgrade the school’s full mission bridge ship simulator to enhance its ice navigation capabilities. The donation was prompted by a two-day training event sponsored by Marathon and hosted at AVTEC’s Alaska Maritime Training Center. The event provided more than 30 shipmasters and pilots the opportunity to hone their skills in navigating the icecovered waters of Cook Inlet. “Our name may have changed, but not our commitment to community,” Marathon Marine Operations Director Capt. Marc Bayer said. “Safety and the environment will always be our top priority. Marathon has fully endorsed our first tenet — which is to do it safely or not at all.”

The licensed deck officers participated in 10 training scenarios navigating through ice in Cook Inlet. The scenarios had been programmed into the Alaska Maritime Training Center’s three interactive full mission bridge ship simulators. It was during this training event that Marathon announced the grant to AVTEC, which will be directed at enhancing the bridge simulators through an upgrade of hardware and software. “We need people who are well trained in our labor force. Marathon provides an opportunity for the local population to come here and train, so they can enter our labor force and work on our ships. Investing in this program is Marathon’s com-

of the most challenging in the world,” Bayer said. “This investment in AVTEC and our collaboration with the Alaska Maritime Training Center to strengthen regional preparedness is keenly aligned with who we are and our steadfast commitment to protect the environment and create cleaner, safer communities.”
