Alaskans choose Dunleavy By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire
Mike Dunleavy will be Alaska’s next governor. With 88.2 percent of precincts reporting, Dunleavy, the Republican candidate, led Democratic candidate Mark Begich 52.77 percent to 43.24 percent as of 11:25 p.m. Tuesday night, defying predictions of a close race. Prospects across Alaska were generally good for Republicans on election night, with Rep. Don Young on track to keep his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Young led independent challenger Alyse Galvin with 54.05 percent of the vote to Galvin’s 45.53 percent with 88.2 percent of precincts reporting. Ballot Measure 1, which proposed tougher environmental protections for salmon habitat, failed by a wide margin, trailing 36.30 percent to 63.70 percent with 88.2 percent of precincts reporting. The debate over Ballot Measure 1 became the most expensive state-level campaign in Alaska history as petroleum, construction and mining companies spent millions to defeat the proposition.

The governor’s race, however, seemed to garner the majority of public attention as it came to a tumultuous end. Dunleavy led opinion polls throughout the summer, and he kept that lead even as the abrupt resignation of Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott upended the race. Mallott’s resignation from office following “inappropriate comments” to an unidentified woman triggered incumbent Gov. Bill Walker to suspend his race for re-election days later. Walker urged his supporters to support Begich, and though

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Alaskans came out Tuesday to exercise their right to vote in a race that determined a new governor, the same congressman, and several new state legislators. Don Young was able to maintain his incumbency this midterm election, with 54.05 percent of the vote against newcomer Alyse Galvin. The 85-year-old is the U.S. House of Representatives longestserving member and was first elected in 1973. Mike Dunleavy won a highly contested governor election that began as a three-way race and ended closely between former U.S. Sen. Mark Begich and former state Sen. Dunleavy. Preliminary results show Dunleavy holding at 52.77 percent of the vote. Alaska Ballot Measure 1 failed by a wide margin after Alaskans voted to oppose the divisive ballot initiative that sought to rewrite decades-old law regarding salmon habitat. While incumbent Sen. Peter Micciche’s name was the only one on the ballot for State Senate District O, he was not alone in the effort to represent the peninsula in a State Senate seat. Ron Gillham narrowly lost the Republican primary for the District O race and decided to

launch a write-in campaign after residents encouraged him to stay in the race. The write-in efforts didn’t pay off for Gillham. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Micciche got 65.74 percent, with write-in candidates capturing 34.26 percent of the vote. Micciche said he is humbled and grateful District O constituents will be entrusting him with the State Senate seat once more. “I’ll be spending the next several months before I return to Juneau, reaching out to those who are shy about attending public meetings and making sure everyone feels heard,” Micciche said. “I’m pleased with the outcome and to continue serving the people of the peninsula. I want to thank my competitors. I believe they sharpen game and point out areas of improvement. Continuous improvement is always my goal.” Tuesday night’s write-in candidate Gillham said the race didn’t turn out as he had hoped but wanted to congratulate Sen. Micciche. “Peter made a lot of promises,” Gillham said. “I hope he keeps them. There’s a lot of people that are going to be watching him to make sure that he keeps his word.” In District 29, which encompasses Nikiski, Hope, Seward,

District 31: Vance defeats Seaton By MEGAN PACER and MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News
Republican Sarah L. Vance has unseated nonpartisan incumbent Paul Seaton and taken the Alaska House of Representatives District 31 seat. In his 16th shot at the Alaska House of Representatives since being elected in 2002, Seaton ran to retain his District 31 seat against Vance. Despite his incumbency, a substantial campaign treasury and enthusiastic sign wavers on Election Day, Vance easily beat Seaton in a landslide of 58.52 percent to 40.36 percent with all precincts
reporting. “It’s pretty exciting. It’s humbling,” Vance said late Tuesday night at a Republican Party victory party at Land’s End Resort. Vance ran on a platform of protecting the Alaska Permanent Fund and repealing Senate Bill 91, a criminal reform bill that she criticized as being soft on crime. She said she thought those issues resonated with voters. “That’s been some of the two issues that have affected every Alaskan, regardless of party, regardless of financial status, regardless of age, demographics they hit hard for everyone,” she
Shawn Butler
said. “They wanted a change. They wanted someone who Ben Carpenter would represent them in their needs.” Seaton first won election by defeating incumbent Rep. Drew Scalzi in the Republican Party, but in this race Vance won the GOP nod and Seaton ran as a nonpartisan on the Democratic Party ticket. Facing opposition from Republicans who felt betrayed that Seaton had joined a bipartisan and independent House majority, Seaton stayed out of the primary and chose to face the winner in the general elec- Rep. Paul Seaton hands out flashlights at an election night partion. Scalzi was a one-term ty at Alice’s Champagne Palace on Tuesday, in Homer. (Photo See VANCE, page A13 by Michael Armstrong/Homer News)

Fox News doesn’t condone Hannity appearance with Trump By DAVID BAUDER AP Media Writer
NEW YORK — Fox News said Tuesday that it has addressed the “unfortunate distraction” of Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro speaking at President Trump’s campaign rally in Missouri the night before, and that it doesn’t condone such behavior. The network did not say what, if any, discipline that the two network personalities would face. Meanwhile, Hannity tweeted on Tuesday that he was being “100 percent truthful” earlier on Monday when he tweeted that “I will not be on stage campaigning with the president.” “When the POTUS invited me on stage to give a few remarks last night, I was surprised, yet honored by the president’s request,” Hannity tweeted. “This was NOT planned.” Hannity, who told the audience at Trump’s rally that “all these people in the back are fake news,” also tweeted Tuesday that he was not referring to any of his Fox News colleagues. Fox reporter Kristin Fisher, who tweeted a copy of Fox’s statement on Tuesday, was covering the rally. It’s considered standard for employees of news organizations not to engage in political campaign activities so their outlets do not appear unfair; some journalists go so far as to not vote at all for this reason. Fox News resisted Monday when the Trump campaign had advertised to its followers that Hannity would appear as a “special guest” at the Missouri rally, saying Hannity was only there to cover the event. Hannity, cable news’ most popular personality and a vocal Trump defender, has twice been publicly rebuked by Fox for campaign activity. Hannity was made to cancel a 2010 appearance in Cincinnati when it
was revealed he was participating in a fundraiser for the Tea Party. When he was featured in a 2016 Trump campaign video, Fox told him to never do it again. Since then, Fox opinion personalities have doubled down on their support of Trump. Already No. 1 in the cable news ratings, Fox has had a strong fall with the campaign and hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, with Hannity leading the way. Critics have claimed that Fox News Channel is less of a news organization than an arm of the Trump campaign, and Monday’s rally gave them fresh ammunition. In the past, Hannity has said that he’s a talk show host, not a journalist. But in an interview with The New York Times a year ago, he said he was a journalist, more specifically an advocacy or opinion journalist. Hannity broadcast his show from the site of the rally Monday, where he exhorted viewers to vote Republican and echoed a Trump campaign theme seen on banners: “Promises made, promises kept.” He spoke briefly on camera with Trump at the end of the show. When it was done, White House Communications director Bill Shine, a former Fox News Channel executive, high-fived Hannity, according to the White House pool report. Trump called Hannity to the stage after praising Fox, saying, “they’re very special, they’ve done an incredible job for us. They’ve been with us from the beginning.” Hannity hugged Trump and, after lobbing his crowdpleasing insult at the media, recited economic statistics. Pirro, a former New York state attorney general who has a weekend show on Fox, spoke after him. Their speeches weren’t televised on Fox News, but were seen on C-SPAN. Hannity’s appearance meant either Fox lied Monday about its collaboration with the Trump
campaign, or that it has no control over Hannity, said Angelo Carusone, president of the liberal think tank Media Matters for America, which has unsuccessfully called for an advertiser boycott of Hannity’s show in the past. “Fox’s admitted lack of control is only reinforced by the absence of sanction here,” Carusone said. “Anyone doing business with Fox News should worry about the network’s inability to enforce even the most bare minimum standards.” It’s not clear, however, whether Hannity was sanctioned or not. Fox has not ad-
dressed the question publicly. Some surprised journalists at other news organizations didn’t hesitate to make their feelings known on social media. “The White House-Fox News nexus has rarely been as evident as tonight in Cape Girardeau,” said Philip Rucker, White House bureau chief at The Washington Post, on Twitter. White House reporter Maggie Haberman of The New York Times tweeted: “Still can’t get over Hannity denying he would be on stage the whole day, getting brought up by Trump, and then pointing to actual news reporters and calling them fake.”

What Others Say
Making progress on prescription drugs The cost of prescription medication
has been an increasing burden to many Americans, and despite the Affordable Care Act, its partial dismantling and constant static from both political parties, there has been little relief. It is thus welcome news that President Trump announced Thursday a plan to lower prices for some prescription medications. “We are taking aim at the global freeloading that forces American consumers to subsidize lower prices in foreign countries through higher prices in our country,” he said. The president zeroed in on disparities across the globe. “Same company. Same box. Same pill. Made in the exact same location, and you would go to some countries and it would be 20 percent of the cost of what we pay. We’re fixing it.” Under Trump’s plan, drugs administered in a doctor’s office and paid through Medicare would be priced downward to a level more equitable with international prices. Right now, average prices in the U.S. are approximately double those in the rest of the world. The projected effect of the new plan can be seen with chemotherapy treatments. “Some Medicare beneficiaries use a drug to fight infection that currently costs Medicare $4,700 every time they receive chemotherapy,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “On average it costs other countries $1,100. These beneficiaries would see their co-insurance drop from over $900 every time they use the drug to under $300 after full implementation of the proposal.” The new payment model would be phased in over five years and overall savings for American taxpayers and patients are projected to total $17.2 billion, with out-of-pocket savings potentially totaling $3.4 billion, according to HHS. This is a good first step. The plan still has to be fully fleshed out and is going to be implemented cautiously. Other countries would need to shoulder more of the overall burden and that will require a measure of diplomacy from the Trump administration. Attacking “foreign freeloading” will have to be supplanted with something more palatable. Regardless of what form of health care Americans want — whether it’s single-payer, a public option or something else — we can all agree that a family should not have to go broke because of a cancer diagnosis. This is a good start to reaching that goal. — Boston Herald, Oct. 27

Urban America’s vagrancy outrage
It’s appropriate that the U.N. special rapporteur devoted to adequate housing has visited encampments in Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Mumbai — and San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. The homeless situation in those cities and others around the country is positively Third World, a blight that shows the persistence of human folly and misery, despite what we take to be our steady progress to greater enlightenment and prosperity. San Francisco is a crown jewel of the new economy, and a sink of vagrancy. One of the more compelling pieces of reportage that The New York Times has run recently was on the dirtiest block in San Francisco, the 300 block of Hyde Street, blighted by discarded heroin needles and other filth. In the 21st century, in the richest country on the planet, you would think that we would have figured out how to live without having to step around human feces. The experience of San Francisco says that, against all expectations, we haven’t — or at least we forgot how. It used to be a journalistic trope that homelessness spiked whenever a Republican occupied the White House, but it’s more obvious than ever that it is an endemic social problem. Homelessness is roiling the politics of impeccably progressive cities like San Francisco — where tech barons split on a proposal for a new tax to fund homelessness programs — and Seattle. In an article for the journal National Affairs, Stephen Eide of the Manhattan Institute recounted how we got here over the
past 50 years. Cities wiped out or drastically diminished their skid rows, once a last-ditch housing recourse for men who had hit bottom. As urban renewal and regulations to improve Rich Lowry the quality of housing eliminated these down-on-their-luck areas, the people who once lived there decamped to public places. We “deinstitutionalized” the mentally ill, too often a euphemism for dumping them onto the streets and into jails. About 20 to 30 percent of the homeless are mentally ill. Meanwhile, the number of single-parent families drastically increased. Women only rarely lived on skid row, but poor families headed by single mothers are a large component of the homeless. Eide notes that in New York City “two-thirds of the homeless population is comprised of families with children, and around 90 percent of those families are headed by single mothers.” These large-scale trends have been met with a new, more permissive legal environment. The Supreme Court in 1972 made it more difficult for city police forces to hustle along vagrants, and subsequent free-speech jurisprudence has made outlawing panhandling tricky. Civil commitment of the mentally ill has
become highly restricted. The American Civil Liberties Union is a great de facto friend of vagrancy. Not that anything is easy in this area. The hard core of the homeless population is cut off from human relationships and finds the perverse freedom of the streets more appealing than the structure that would come with assistance. Many refuse help, either because they are too sick to make rational decisions or they don’t want to deal with any rules. Eide suggests localities do more to nudge the homeless to make use of social services, and allow more dense housing to create a greater housing stock overall, thus reducing some of the upward pressure on rents. But the beginning wisdom is to consider the status quo intolerable, and resist the advocates who want to normalize panhandling and camping, and the associated drug abuse, petty crime and disorder. Houston has had success with a tough-love policy of more services, coupled with a crackdown on encampments and other public nuisances. One of the advantages of modern society is that people don’t have to live in public, or in squalor. That it is widely accepted in some of our greatest cities is an outrage of our age. It is deeply harmful to our civic life, and does no favors for the men and women living in parks and highway underpasses. Rich Lowry can be reached via email at comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Facebook blocks 115 accounts ahead of midterms By KELVIN CHAN Associated Press
LONDON — Facebook said it blocked 115 accounts for suspected “coordinated inauthentic behavior” linked to foreign groups attempting to interfere in Tuesday’s U.S. midterm elections. The social media company shut down 30 Facebook accounts and 85 Instagram accounts and is investigating them in more detail, it said in a blog post late Monday. Facebook acted after being tipped off Sunday by U.S. law enforcement officials. Authorities notified the company about recently discovered online activity “they believe may be linked to foreign entities,” Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, wrote in the post. U.S. tech companies have stepped up their work against disinformation campaigns, aiming to stymie online troublemakers’ efforts to divide voters and discredit democracy. Facebook’s purge is part of countermeasures to prevent abuses like those used by Russian groups two years ago to sway public opinion ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The company based in Menlo Park, California, has been somewhat regularly disclosing such purges in recent months, most recently in October. More are likely going forward since, even as its systems get better at detecting and removing malicious accounts, the bad actors are sharpening their attacks, too. Gleicher said Facebook will provide
an update once it learns more, including whether the blocked accounts are linked to the Russia-based Internet Research Agency, or other foreign entities. Almost all of the Facebook pages associated with the blocked accounts appeared to be in French or Russian. The Instagram accounts were mostly in English and were focused either on celebrities or political debate. No further details were given about the accounts or suspicious activity. Also on Monday, Facebook acknowledged that it didn’t do enough to prevent its services from being used to incite violence and spread hate in Myanmar. Alex Warofka, a product policy manager, said in a blog post that Facebook “can and should do more” to protect human rights and ensure it isn’t used to foment division and spread offline violence in the country. Last month, Facebook removed 82 pages, accounts and groups tied to Iran and aimed at stirring up strife in the U.S. and the U.K. It carried out an even broader sweep in August, removing 652 pages, groups and accounts linked to Russia and Iran. Twitter, meanwhile, has said it has identified more than 4,600 accounts and 10 million tweets, mostly affiliated with the Internet Research Agency, which was linked to foreign meddling in U.S. elections, including the presidential vote of 2016. The agency, a Russian troll farm, has been indicted by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller for its actions during the 2016 vote.
Facebook, Twitter and other companies have been fighting misinformation and election meddling on their services for the past two years. There are signs they’re making headway, although they’re still a very long way from winning the war. Facebook, in particular, has reversed its stance of late 2016, when CEO Mark Zuckerberg dismissed as “pretty crazy” the notion that fake news on his service could have swayed the presidential election. In July, for instance, the company said that its spending on security and content moderation, coupled with other business shifts, would hinder its growth and profitability. Investors expressed their displeasure by knocking $119 billion off Facebook’s market value. One problem is that it’s not just agents from Russia and other nations who are intent on sharing misinformation and propaganda. There is plenty of homegrown fake news too, whether in the U.S. or elsewhere. Still, Facebook is seeing some payoff, and not just with the accounts it has been able to find and take down. A recent research collaboration between New York University and Stanford found that user “interactions” with fake news stories on Facebook, which rose substantially in 2016 during the presidential campaign, fell significantly between the end of 2016 and July 2018. On Twitter, however, the sharing of such stories continued to rise over the past two years.

Nation/World Charges filed in hit-and-run Former Nazi SS camp guard, that killed 4 in Wisconsin By IVAN MORENO Associated Press
LAKE HALLIE, Wis. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vehicular homicide charges were filed Tuesday against a 21-year-old man accused of inhaling chemical vapors before he crashed his truck into a group of Girl Scouts picking up trash along a highway, killing three children and one adult, Wisconsin prosecutors said Tuesday. The 11 charges filed against Colten Treu include four counts of vehicular homicide and four counts of a hit-and-run resulting in death. The punishment for those charges alone is up to 160 years in prison. The criminal complaint
prosecutors released describe a struggle for the steering wheel between Treu and the passenger in his truck shortly before the vehicle veered off the road and struck the Girl Scout troop working in ditches along the highway in Lake Hallie, a town about 95 miles (152 kilometers) east of Minneapolis. Treu and his passenger later told investigators they had been huffing from a computer keyboard cleaner theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d purchased that day. The Saturday crash killed 9-year-old Jayna Kelley and 10-year-old Autum Helgeson, both of Lake Hallie, and 10-year-old Haylee Hickle and her mother, 32-year-old mother, Sara Jo Schneider, from the Town of Lafayette.
A sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy investigating the accident traced a fluid trail that led to the house where Treu lived with the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passenger, according to the complaint. The passenger, who has not been arrested or charged, told police he grabbed the steering wheel when he saw that Treu â&#x20AC;&#x153;looked out of itâ&#x20AC;? and that the truck was crossing over the roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center line. The passenger said Treu yelled at him for touching the steering wheel before crossing the center line again, this time going into the ditch, according to the complaint. Treu is being held on $250,000 bond. Treu told investigators he never passed out and that his
passenger â&#x20AC;&#x153;was huffing a lot more than him,â&#x20AC;? according to the complaint. He said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost control of the vehicle and fishtailedâ&#x20AC;? after his passenger grabbed the steering wheel. The other charges Treu faces are for felony bail jumping, intentionally abusing a hazardous substance, and causing â&#x20AC;&#x153;great bodily harmâ&#x20AC;? during a hit-and-run because another Girl Scout in the group was injured. Treu was previously convicted of drunken-driving in Wisconsin and he was currently out on bail for another accident in September, when he was charged with driving his employerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car into a ditch while intoxicated.
Aid arrives for migrants in Mexico City By MARIA VERZA and AMY GUTHRIE Associated Press
MEXICO CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Humanitarian aid converged around a stadium in Mexico City where thousands of Central American migrants winding their way toward the United States were resting Tuesday after an arduous trek that has taken them through three countries in three weeks. Mexico City Mayor Jose Ramon Amieva said 4,500 migrants have arrived at the Jesus Martinez stadium since Sunday, and city officials are bracing to attend as many as 5,500 at the site by Wednesday. Hundreds of city employees and even more volunteers were on hand to sort donations and direct migrants toward food, water, diapers and other basics.
Migrants searched through piles of donated clothes, grabbed boxes of milk for children and lined up to make quick calls home at a stand set up by the Red Cross as U.S. voters went to the polls for midterm elections in which President Donald Trump has made the migrant caravan a central issue. Employees from the capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human rights commission registered new arrivals with biographical dataâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as age and country of originâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and placed yellow bracelets on wrists to keep count. Rina Valenzuela wore one of the yellow bracelets as she sat attentively listening to aid workers from the nonprofit Institute for Women in Migration explain the difficulties of applying for and securing asylum in the U.S. Va-

94, goes on trial By DAVID RISING Associated Press
MUENSTER, Germany â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 94-year-old former SS enlisted man went on trial Tuesday in Germany, facing hundreds of counts of accessory to murder for alleged crimes committed during the years he served as a guard at the Nazisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stutthof concentration camp. Johann Rehbogen was pushed into the Muenster state court trial in a wheelchair, a wooden cane at his side and briefcase on his lap. He appeared alert and attentive as presiding judge Rainer Brackhane asked him questions, answering in slow, concise sentences. Rehbogen is accused of working as a guard at the camp east of Danzig, which is today the Polish city of Gdansk, from June 1942 to about early September 1944. There is no evidence linking him to a specific crime, but over 60,000 people were killed at Stutthof and prosecutors argue that as a guard, he was an accessory to at least hundreds of those deaths. The retired civil servant showed no reaction as prosecutor Andreas Brendel read the accusations against him, detailing the horrific way prisoners at Stutthof were killed. Some were
given lethal injections of gasoline or phenol directly to their hearts, shot or starved. Others were forced outside in winter without clothes until they died of exposure, or put to death in the gas chamber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who heard the screams from outside the gas chamber would have known that people were fighting for their lives,â&#x20AC;? Brendel said. Rehbogen, a former SS Sturmmann â&#x20AC;&#x201D; roughly equivalent to the U.S. Army rank of specialist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; does not deny serving in the camp during the war, but has told investigators he was unaware of the killings and did not participate in them. No pleas are entered in Germany and Andreas Tinkl, one of Rehbogenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorneys, would not comment on his clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense. He said Rehbogen would address the court at some point during the trial, which is scheduled into January. Rehbogen lives in Borken, near the Dutch border. In deference to his age and health, the trial is being restricted to a maximum of two hours a day, on no more than two nonconsecutive days a week. At the same time, because he was under 21 at the time of his alleged crimes, he is being tried in juvenile court and faces a maximum 10 years in prison if convicted.
Colorado man pleads guilty to Man convicted in NYC subway bombing killing pregnant wife, kids
By LARRY NEUMEISTER Associated Press
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Bangladeshi immigrant convicted Tuesday of terrorism charges after setting off a pipe bomb in New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest subway station at rush hour told the trial judge he was angry at President Donald Trump and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry out the attack for the Islamic State group.
The verdict against Akayed Ullah was returned in Manhattan federal court after a trial in which the defense maintained that he intended to kill only himself last Dec. 11. Nobody died, and most of the injuries were not serious. After the verdict was announced and the jury left the room, Ullah spoke out, telling the judge: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was angry with Donald Trump because he
lenzuela, who is from El Salvador, decided sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better off applying for refuge in Mexico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why go fight there, with as
much effort and as much suffering as we have gone through, just for them to turn me back? Well, no,â&#x20AC;? she said.
says he will bomb the Middle East and then he will protect his nation.â&#x20AC;? Judge Richard Sullivan told him: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now is not the time for a statement.â&#x20AC;? Ullah repeatedly told Sullivan he did not carry out the attack for the Islamic State group. Sentencing was scheduled for April 5, when Ullah faces a mandatory 30-year prison
sentence and could be sent to prison for life. Prosecutors said he wanted to maim or kill commuters as part of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lone wolfâ&#x20AC;? terrorist attack on behalf of the terrorist organization. They disputed the defense claim, saying Ullah would not have worn a bomb had he wanted to kill only himself. They also cited social media postings by Ullah, as well as comments he made after his arrest to investigators. The verdict capped a weeklong trial that featured surveillance video of Ullah the morning when his pipe bomb sputtered, seriously burning him in a corridor beneath Times Square and the Port Authority bus terminal, where most subway lines converge. At trial, Ullah was confronted with his post-arrest statements and his social media comments, such as when he taunted Trump on Facebook before the attack. The president later demanded tightened immigration rules.

GREELEY, Colo. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Colorado man charged with killing his pregnant wife and two daughters pleaded guilty Tuesday under a plea deal that will allow him to avoid the death penalty. Christopher Watts entered his plea Tuesday during a court hearing in Greeley, replying â&#x20AC;&#x153;guiltyâ&#x20AC;? nine times in response to Judge Marcelo Kopcowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading of each charge against him in the deaths of Shanann Watts, 34, and their children, Bella, 4,and Celeste, 3. Wattsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voice was shaking, and he could occasionally be heard sniffing after each time he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;guilty.â&#x20AC;? Shanann Wattsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parents and her brother were in the courtroom. Her brother looked steadily at Watts throughout the hearing, which lasted about 30 minutes.
The family agreed to the deal, prosecutors said. Watts, a former oil and gas worker, was charged in August with killing his pregnant 34-yearold wife and their daughters their home in Frederick, a community in the oil and gas fields north of Denver. Police have said Watts drove their bodies to an oil site owned by his former employer. The girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bodies were found submerged in an oil tank, and Shanann Wattsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body was found in a shallow grave. According to court documents, a police investigation determined that Watts â&#x20AC;&#x153;was actively involved in an affair with a co-worker.â&#x20AC;? Investigators claimed in the documents that Watts admitted to police that he killed his wife. But he said he strangled her in â&#x20AC;&#x153;a rageâ&#x20AC;? when he discovered she had strangled their two daughters after he sought a separation.

Election 2018 Dems win House; GOP keeps Senate
Around the Nation Florida passes amendment to restore felons’ voting rights
By STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Most Florida felons who have finished their sentences will be able to vote again in future elections. Voters on Tuesday approved Amendment 4, which says that most felons will automatically have their voting rights restored when they complete their sentences or go on probation. The amendment exempts those convicted of sex offenses and murder. Supporters said the state’s current system was too onerous. It required felons to wait at least five years after completing their sentence before they could file a request with the governor and Cabinet. About 1.5 million people are affected. Nearly all states allow felons to vote after completing their sentences. Opponents argued that the measure treats all felons alike and takes away the ability to judge each individually. The measure was placed on the ballot by petition.
WASHINGTON — Democrats were gaining significant ground in the battle for House control Tuesday night, while Republicans held onto their majority in the Senate as voters weighed in on the first nationwide election in Donald Trump’s turbulent presidency. With control of Congress, statehouses and the president’s agenda at stake, some of the nation’s top elections were too close to call. Democrats won half the seats they needed to claim House control with dozens additional competitive contests remaining. Victories in contested races across Florida, New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Minnesota gave them cause for optimism. The Democrats’ narrow path to the Senate was slammed shut after setbacks in Indiana, Tennessee, North Dakota and Texas. Trump’s team immediately sought to give him credit for retaining their narrow Senate majority, even as their foothold in the more competitive House battlefield appeared to be slipping. “It’s a huge moment and victory for the president,” Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters at the White House Tuesday night. Two issues more than any others were on voters’ minds. 25 percent described health care and immigration as the most important issues in the election, according to AP VoteCast, a national survey of the electorate. Nearly two-thirds said Trump was a reason for their vote. Democrats, whose very relevance in the Trump era depended on winning at least one chamber of Congress, were laser-focused on health care as they predicted victories that would break up the GOP’s monopoly in Washington and state governments.
LGBT Native American Democrat wins Kansas House race TOPEKA, Kan. — Democrat Sharice Davids unseated Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder in Tuesday’s election to become the nation’s first LGBT and Native American woman in Congress. Four-term incumbent Yoder was vulnerable in the KansasCity-area 3rd District because of tepid support for President Donald Trump, who narrowly lost it in 2016. The district includes a mix of fast-growing bedroom communities, established suburbs and poorer city neighborhoods. Trump had endorsed Yoder, the chairman of a House Appropriations subcommittee on immigration and homeland security issues. Davids excited Democratic activists and donors nationwide with her unprecedented profile. A member of the Wisconsin-based Ho-Chunk Nation, she was a White House fellow during former President Barack Obama’s administration and received a law degree from Cornell University. She’s also fought mixed martial arts bouts. Her campaign upended conventional wisdom that Democrats have the best shot at winning the GOP-leaning district with a centrist candidate such as Dennis Moore, the Democrat who held the seat for 12 years before Yoder won it easily in the anti-Obama wave of 2010.
Out of many, several firsts elected WASHINGTON — The House is getting its first two Muslim women and Massachusetts is getting its first black congresswoman while Arizona and Tennessee stand to elect their first woman senators in Tuesday’s midterm elections. The high-profile midterm cycle that produced a record number of women contenders and candidates of color meant several winners will take office as trailblazers, marking firsts for their race and gender. What is already the most diverse Congress ever could become even more so after Tuesday’s elections and will include several trailblazers. Boston City Councilwoman Ayanna Pressley will represent Massachusetts’ 7th Congressional District in the next Congress. Pressley stunned the political establishment in September, defeating a 10-term incumbent in the Democratic primary, and was unopposed on Tuesday. Also in the House, Democrats Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan will be the first Muslim women to serve in Congress. And regardless of who wins in Arizona’s competitive Senate race, the state will elect either Republican Martha McSally or Democrat Kyrsten Sinema as the state’s first woman to serve in the chamber. Also in the Senate, Republican Marsha Blackburn will become Tennessee’s first woman senator. Georgia governor’s race candidate Stacey Abrams, a Democrat, was in a fierce battle to become America’s first black woman governor, and Florida Democrat Andrew Gillum was bidding to become the first black governor of Florida. — Associated Press

The political and practical stakes were sky-high. Democrats could derail Trump’s legislative agenda for the next two years should they win control of the House. And they would claim subpoena power to investigate Trump’s personal and professional shortcomings. Some Democrats have already vowed to force the release of his tax returns. Others have pledged to pursue impeachment, although removal from office is unlikely so long as the GOP controls the Senate or even maintains a healthy minority. Yet Trump’s party will maintain Senate control for the next two years, at least. In Texas, Sen Ted Cruz staved off a tough challenge from Democrat Beto O’Rourke, whose record-smashing fundraising and celebrity have set off buzz he could be a credible 2020 White House contender. In Indiana, Trump-backed businessman Mike Braun defeated Democratic incumbent Joe Donnelly. And in Tennessee, Congresswoman Marsha
Blackburn defeated former Gov. Phil Bredesen, a top Democratic recruit. In the leadup to the election, Republicans privately expressed confidence in their narrow Senate majority but feared the House could slip away. The GOP’s grip on high-profile governorships in Florida , Georgia and Wisconsin were at risk as well. Long lines and malfunctioning machines marred the first hours of voting in some precincts, including in Georgia, where some voters reported waiting up to three hours to vote in a hotly contested gubernatorial election. More than 40 million Americans had already voted, either by mail or in person, breaking early voting records across 37 states, according to an AP analysis. Nearly 40 percent of voters cast their ballots to express opposition to the president, according to AP VoteCast, the national survey of the electorate, while one-in-four said they voted to express support for Trump. Overall, 6 in 10 voters said
the country was headed in the wrong direction, but roughly that same number described the national economy as excellent or good. Trump encouraged voters to view the first nationwide election of his presidency as a referendum on his leadership, pointing proudly to the surging economy at recent rallies. He bet big on a xenophobic closing message, warning of an immigrant “invasion” that promised to spread violent crime and drugs across the nation. Several television networks, including the president’s favorite Fox News Channel, yanked a Trump campaign advertisement off the air on the eve of the election, determining that its portrayal of a murderous immigrant went too far. The president’s current job approval, set at 40 percent by Gallup, was the lowest at this point of any first-term president in the modern era. Both Barack Obama’s and Bill Clinton’s numbers were 5 points higher, and both suffered major midterm losses of 63 and 54 House seats respectively.
Today in History Today is Tuesday, Nov. 6, the 310th day of 2018. There are 55 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 6, 1860, former Illinois congressman Abraham Lincoln of the Republican Party was elected President of the United States as he defeated John Breckinridge, John Bell and Stephen Douglas. On this date: In 1861, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was elected to a six-year term of office. In 1893, composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky died in St. Petersburg, Russia, at age 53. In 1906, Republican Charles Evans Hughes was elected governor of New York, defeating newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst. In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower won re-election, defeating Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson. In 1962, Democrat Edward M. Kennedy was elected Senator from Massachusetts. In 1977, 39 people were killed when the Kelly Barnes Dam in Georgia burst, sending a wall of water through Toccoa Falls College. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan won re-election by a landslide over former Vice President Walter Mondale, the Democratic challenger. In 1986, former Navy radioman John A. Walker Jr., the admitted head of a family spy ring, was sentenced in Baltimore to life imprisonment. (Walker died in prison in 2014 at age 77.) In 1990, about one-fifth of the Universal Studios backlot in southern California was destroyed in an arson fire. In 1995, funeral services were held in Jerusalem for assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. In 1997, former President George H.W. Bush opened his presidential library at Texas A&M University; among the guests of honor was President Clinton, the man who’d sent him into retirement. In 2001, billionaire Republican Michael Bloomberg won New York City’s mayoral race, defeating Democrat Mark Green. Ten years ago: President-elect Barack Obama spoke by phone with nine world leaders and met privately at the FBI office in Chicago with U.S. intelligence officials, preparing to become commander in chief. Five years ago: Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, testifying before the Senate Finance Committee on the nation’s health care law, was blistered by Republicans who bluntly challenged her honesty, pushed for her resignation and demanded unsuccessfully that she concede President Barack Obama had deliberately misled the public about his signature domestic program. At the Country Music Association Awards, Miranda Lambert won her fourth straight female vocalist of the year award while her husband, Blake Shelton, won album of the year and male vocalist -- a category he also won for the fourth year in a row. One year ago: President Donald Trump told reporters in Tokyo that North Korea was “a threat to the civilized world.” The Television Academy became the latest movie or TV organization to expel Harvey Weinstein. Former Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner reported to prison in Massachusetts to begin a 21-month sentence for sexting with a 15-year-old girl.

About the Greatest Generation 1930s AND EARLY 40s I was born in 1937. Families did not have much money or much to eat. But they were hardy and knew how to make ends meet by planting there own gardens, having chickens for eggs and a cow for milk. Mothers baked their own bread, churned the butter, and if they had some sugar, baked a cake or cookies. This continued to structure our daily lives for years after the Great Depression of the 1920s and 1930s — when the impact of World War II arrived. How many remember ration books and stamps and tokens? Gas was rationed, sugar, shoes and stoves were also rationed. Meat required a token. We saved fat from bacon in a tin coffee can, and saved foil by washing and straightening it out and reusing it. If you bought a loaf of bread with “your last nickel” you saved the wrapper for the next loaf of bread you would bake. Neighbors gave mom their coupons and tokens that they did not use and especially sugar coupons because they knew she would share her wonderful jellies and jams. The outhouse had the Montgomery Ward or Sears and Roebuck catalog for wiping paper. BUT first you read the page!! You could not buy new tires as they went to the war effort, so patching flat tires became an art. I never heard any griping or grumbling, because we all supported the “war effort.” I NEVER heard hatred and terrible words about our presidents at the time. Roosevelt was a hero in our house. So were Truman and Eisenhower. We learned respect toward our leaders and said prayers every night for their continued guidance!! (Oh so sad, how that has changed.) No riots, no personal attacks with terrible language from the younger generation. They were too busy helping make ends meet for their families. Dad never tolerated bad words, hateful words or grumbling because we did not have new shoes, a candy bar or a bottle of soda pop. AND we never got gum to chew!! If you happened to smoke you rolled your own. Prince Albert in a can was tobacco of choice for my grandpa. He just stuffed it in his old pipe and lit it with a kitchen match on the back side of the leg of his bib overalls. I was always in awe at how he could light that match on his coveralls. On Sunday, to go to church, he had a newer pair of bib overalls and one white shirt, all starched and ironed by grandma. She heated the iron on the stove and clamped the handle on the top of the iron and left the other one on the stove to heat up. Grandpa and everyone else had one pair of “church-going” shoes.” They were polished every Saturday night. They shined like a mirror. Grandma had a beautiful starched dress made out of flour or feed sacks that she sewed for herself. She would wash her clothes in a tub on a wash board and heated all the water on the stove. She made starch water to starch her dresses, usually two house dresses, her aprons and her Sunday dress. Grandpas white shirt was starched first. By the time I remember her, she had two boys at home, as Mom and Dad were married in 1936 and Aunt Ruth married Uncle Norman shortly after WWII ended. The two boys, Uncle Les and Uncle Marvin, wore starched shirts made by Grandma from feed or flour sacks, and one pair of Sunday pants and one pair of Sunday shoes. Later when they were high school age, the war was over and they got a real store-bought shirt and pants and new shoes that were in style. AND new socks without a hole that had been darned by Grandma! They loved to show off the new clothes that they had. I was still young enough to not grasp the whole excitement. Grandma did show me how to darn socks. When I married I darned wool socks because they were so expensive. YOU CANNOT pay me to do that again!! During World War II, gold stars were placed on the front window See ANNIE, page A8

Turn smoked turkey and melty cheddar into an inspired lunch By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
Panini, sandwiches traditionally cooked in a ridged press, are hard to get wrong—but also surprisingly hard to get just right. To turn a crowd-pleasing combination of smoked turkey and melty cheddar cheese into an inspired lunch, we needed a condiment with some big personality. To that end, we turned to our Simple Cranberry Sauce, spreading it onto both slices of bread for maximum tart, fruity impact. For a fresh finishing touch, we added some baby arugula. To achieve the signature ridged grill marks without a press, we used a grill pan as the base and a Dutch oven as a weight on top. A hearty rustic bread with a crusty exterior and substantial, slightly chewy crumb worked best—tasters found that softer sandwich breads flattened out too much. For easy cleanup, cover the bottom of the Dutch oven with aluminum foil. If you don’t have a nonstick grill pan you can use a nonstick skillet. Buy a rustic 8-inch loaf (often called a boule) with a good crust and cut it into 1/2-inch slices.
SMOKED TURKEY PANINI WITH SIMPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE Servings: 4 Start to finish: 30 minutes 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices rustic white bread 1/4 cup Simple Cranberry Sauce (recipe below) 8 ounces thinly sliced cheddar cheese 8 ounces thinly sliced smoked turkey 2 ounces (2 cups) baby arugula Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 F. Brush oil evenly over 1 side of each slice of bread. Flip bread over and spread cranberry sauce evenly over each second side. Assemble 4 sandwiches by layering ingredients as follows between prepared bread (with cranberry sauce inside sandwich): half of cheddar, turkey, arugula, and remaining cheddar. Heat 12-inch nonstick grill pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot, about 1 minute. Place 2 sandwiches in pan, set Dutch oven on top, and cook until bread is golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer sandwiches to wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Wipe out skillet with paper towels and repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches. Serve.

Simple Cranberry Sauce: Cooked fruit sauces combine fruit and a careful selection of complementary ingredients; they pair perfectly with a range of savory foods, bringing sweetness and brightness to salty, creamy, or intensely umamirich dishes. The key to making a great fruit sauce is treating the different types of fruit in different ways to best bring out their unique characters: Sour fruits need their tartness tamed without becoming cloying, and sweet fruits need their flavors coaxed out and balanced with acidic seasonings. For our classic cranberry sauce, we found simplest was also best: After testing different sweeteners and cooking liquids, we found that white sugar and water let the natural flavor of the fresh cranberries shine. We
cooked the sauce just long enough to thicken it and break down some of the berries, but not so long that we lost all the cranberries’ signature “pop.” For a bright and lively peach sauce, we used wine, thyme, mustard, and vinegar to create an aromatic, savoryleaning backbone. For a bold, luxurious cherry sauce, we called on red wine and port to underscore the pure cherry flavor. Finally, we paired plums with sesame oil, ginger, and lime juice, then processed and strained the sauce for a smooth texture. Makes about 2 1/4 cups This sauce also makes a great accompaniment to cheese and meat platters. If using frozen cranberries, do not defrost them; just add about 2 minutes to the simmering time. 1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries Bring sugar, water, and salt to boil in medium saucepan, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Stir in cranberries and return to boil. Reduce to simmer and cook until slightly thickened and about two-thirds of berries have popped open, about 5 minutes.

Cooking and glazing a moist and cured ham? It’s in the bag By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
Heating and glazing a cured ham seems effortless, but many recipes yield leathery meat in an overly sweet glaze. We wanted to guarantee moist meat in a nuanced glaze. Bone-in hams, labeled “with natural juices,” have the best flavor and spiral-sliced ones make carving a cinch, but too much time in the oven can ruin even the best ham on the market, so we focused on reducing the cooking time. Soaking the ham in hot water shaved off a full hour, and using an oven bag further reduced the cooking time while also containing the ham’s moisture. We heated a mixture of sweet and savory pantry staples for two tempting glaze options. You may bypass the 1 1/2-hour soaking time, but the ham will be less juicy and the heating time must increase to 18 to 20 minutes per pound. We prefer a tapered shank ham but a rounded sirloin ham will work here. If there is a tear or hole in the ham’s inner covering, wrap it in several layers of plastic wrap before the hot-water soak. If you do not wish to use an oven bag, place the ham cut side down in the roasting pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil, adding 3 to 4 minutes per pound to the heating time.
GLAZED SPIRAL-SLICED HAM Servings: 12-14 Start to finish: 1 hour, 45 minutes (plus 1 hour, 30 minutes for soaking) 1 (7- to 10-pound) spiral-sliced bone-in half ham 1 large plastic oven bag 1 recipe glaze (recipes follow) Leaving ham’s inner plastic or foil covering intact, place ham in large container and cover with hot water; set aside for 45 minutes. Drain and cover
again with hot water; set aside for another 45 minutes. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 250 F. Unwrap ham; discard plastic disk covering bone. Place ham in oven bag. Gather top of bag tightly so bag fits snugly around ham, tie bag, and trim excess plastic. Set ham cut side down in large roasting pan and cut 4 slits in top of bag with knife. Bake ham until center registers 100 degrees, 1 to 1 1/2 hours (about 10 minutes per pound). Remove ham from oven and increase oven temperature to 350 F. Cut open oven bag and roll back sides to expose ham. Brush ham with one-third of glaze and return to oven until glaze becomes sticky, about 10 minutes (if glaze is too thick to brush, return to heat to loosen). Remove ham from oven, transfer to carving board, and brush entire ham with another third of glaze. Tent ham with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes. While ham rests, add 4 to 6 tablespoons of ham juices to remaining one-third of glaze and cook over medium heat until thick but fluid sauce forms. Carve and serve ham, passing sauce separately. Maple-Orange Glaze: Makes 1 cup 3/4 cup maple syrup 1/2 cup orange marmalade 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Combine ingredients in small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1 cup, 5 to 10 minutes; set aside. Cherry-Port Glaze: Makes 1 cup 1/2 cup ruby port 1/2 cup cherry preserves 1 cup packed dark brown sugar

or on the window of the front door of neighbors who were grieving because their son died in the war. My generation saw our military “boys” come home and build or buy themselves a little house on the GI Bill. They also were able to go to college on the GI Bill, instituted, I believe, by Roosevelt. I am of the generation that spent my childhood without television. We imagined what we heard on the radio and we still brag about “well, when I was growing up we did not have television or cell phones.” We were sent outside to play, with instructions to come in at noon for dinner, and you better come home for supper because Dad would be home and you would get a whoppin’. Because of the lack of TV, cell phones and computers, we did not have much understanding of what was out in the real world. In the 1940s, if you were so fortunate enough to have a dime to go to the movies, you saw newsreels of the war in between breaks in the movie — when the man up in the movie booth had to change the real and put on the second half. It was called intermission and nice music would play. It was time to go get a nickel candy or a drink out of the water fountain. Most of the movies I saw were with my Dad, my little brother Butch (John Jr) and my sister Ginger. Dad loved westerns — especially westerns with Jane Russell in them. He was more delighted than we were at times with all the action of the movie. He would put us in the old Chevy four-door, roll the window down, put his arm out and tap on the roof to the song he was singing to us. I am sure by now you all have heard me say my Dad had a monotone voice, booming and loud. As far we were concerned that was how that particular song was to be sung: “Big Rock Candy Mountain and Strawberry Roan.” He ended his songfest with hymns: “The old rugged Cross,” and, close to Christmas, all the Christmas songs. That is how I learned the words to many of the hymns and, of course, the “Rock Candy Mountain” and “Strawberry Roan.” When Mom shooed us outdoors on the farm, we played with each other. When little sister and brother were old enough to go outside, we were in charge of swinging them or watching them so they did not get hurt. I was 10
years old when little brother was born, and the next year when he learned to walk and run, it was my job outdoors to take care of him. He was never in one spot for very long. We traveled many miles in the yard and surrounding corrals and granaries, silos and chicken house. He climbed on tractors, got in the pickup and then on to the barn and the workshop. I did swing Elaine on the rope swing that Dad made for us in an old Elm tree in the front yard. We had to watch Elaine real close as the she would go to sleep and fall out of the swing. She was never without her binkie, so I was in charge of not losing it. If she lost it she cried until we found it. Mom washed on Monday and EVERYTHING GOT WASHED! Including Elaine’s (and Jim’s) binkie. We never had to look too far for Elaine, as she was under the clothesline hanging onto her binkie with one hand and sucking her thumb until the binkie got dry! Jim would just pull on his until it came off the line, clothespins flying. He took off for the next adventure. When I was a freshman in high school (I believe), we had our first phone installed on the wall in the dining room. It was black. It had a big rotary dial. It rang when someone wanted to talk to the neighbor. It rang when someone called us. The system was one ring for so-and-so, two rings for soand-so, and three rings meant someone wanted to talk to the McClures. Our phone number was 0213-J3 and grandma and grandpa’s was 0213-R2. If Dad was asked for the phone number he would say, 0213Jingle 3 and if you wanted to talk to Grandpa he would say 0213-Ring 2. If you wanted to talk to someone you picked up the phone, and if someone was on the line you hung up — (or listened in on the conversation)! We had calculators, not computers, that were only for adding and were hand cranked. Typewriters were used by pounding fingers on the round buttons. When it got to the end of the paper edge you threw the carriage back to the starting point and started typing again. I learned on these! AND then if the ribbon was frayed and needed changing it was a job that required patience, and the result was purple fingers before you could start typing again. The internet, computers were words that did not exist! This subject matter will continue to the next week.

Pecan pie with a smooth-textured filling and a nice crust By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
CLASSIC PECAN PIE
There is much to love about sweet, nutty pecan pie, but it’s easy for this simple dessert to turn out tooth achingly sugary and void of pecan flavor, with a curdled filling sogging a leathery crust. We wanted to create the ideal recipe for a not-too-sweet pie with a smooth-textured filling and a properly baked bottom crust. We decided to start from the bottom up. By partially baking the crust, we ensured that the filling wouldn’t compromise its texture during baking and serving; we also found that adding the filling while the crust was still warm helped a great deal. Next, we melted the butter and stirred together the filling in a bowl set over almost-simmering water. This makeshift double-boiler setup helped us maintain gentle heat, which protected against curdling. We reversed the filling’s sugar overload by using a moderate amount of brown sugar. Its subtle, nuanced sweetness and molasses taste kept the spotlight trained on the pecans’ toasty flavor. Poured into the warm shell and baked to nutty perfection, this pecan pie moved right to the top of our nice list. Chill the dough-lined pie plate for at least 30 minutes before beginning the recipe. The crust must still be warm when the filling is added. To serve the pie warm, cool it thoroughly so that it sets, then warm it in a 250 F oven for about 15 minutes and slice.
Servings: 8 Start to finish: 1 hour (plus 2 hours for cooling) 1 recipe Basic Single-Crust Pie Dough (recipe follows), fitted into a 9-inch pie plate and chilled 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 cup packed (7 ounces) dark brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 large eggs 3/4 cup light corn syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 cups (8 ounces) pecans, toasted and chopped fine Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 F. Line chilled pie shell with double layer of foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until pie dough looks dry and is light in color, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer pie plate to wire rack and remove weights and foil. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and reduce oven temperature to 275 F. (Crust must still be warm when filling is added.) Melt butter in heatproof bowl set in skillet of water maintained at just below simmer. Remove bowl from skillet and stir in sugar and salt until butter is absorbed. Whisk in eggs, then corn syrup and vanilla until smooth. Return bowl to hot water and stir until mixture is shiny, hot to touch, and registers 130 F. Off heat, stir in pecans. Pour pecan mixture into warm pie crust. Bake pie until filling looks set but yields when gently pressed with back of spoon, 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Michigan gets up into top 4 By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer
Michigan moved into the fourth spot of the College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday night, behind Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame. Georgia was next at five, followed by Oklahoma. The playoff picture cleared up after a weekend where several contenders asserted themselves. The top-four teams in the final rankings Dec. 2 will play in the national semifinals. The Crimson Tide easily dispatched LSU from the top four, beating the Tigers 29-0. LSU, though, only dropped to No. 7 after its second loss, ahead of Washington State, West Virginia and Ohio State — all with only one loss. Selection committee chairman Rob Mullens noted LSU’s three victories against teams the committee has ranked this week (Mississippi State, Auburn and Georgia). “Their defense is extremely strong,” said Mullens, the Oregon athletic director. “Their two losses come against No. 1 Alabama, on the road to Florida.” Unbeaten Notre Dame moved up one spot to No. 3, and Michigan jumped a spot after a 42-7 victory against Penn State. With four weeks left in the season, nine of the top 10 teams are serious contenders. LSU is basically out, because the Tigers have no chance to win a conference title. Assuming the top three unbeaten teams would get in by winning out, here are the paths to the playoff. No. 1 Alabama (9-0) The Tide is already locked into the SEC championship game and has built up enough equity that even a regular-season loss to Mississippi State or Auburn won’t keep Tua Tagovailoa and Co. out of the playoff. Now if they lost twice ... yeah, that’s probably not hap-
pening. The only intrigue involving Alabama is whether the Tide could lose the SEC championship game, finish 12-1 and still get in? The chances are probably decent. No. 2 Clemson (9-0) Like Alabama, the Tigers have some room for a regularseason misstep, but their position is not a strong as the Tide’s. With a loss to ACC Atlantic rival Boston College on Saturday, Clemson would be at risk of being shut out of the conference title game. Ohio State and Alabama both made the playoff at 11-1, without even playing for a league title the last two seasons. The Tigers could, too, but it is no slam dunk. No. 3 Notre Dame (9-0) The Irish finish with three winnable games, but no locks. Notre Dame fans believe their team holds a trump card against Michigan, with that seasonopening victory in South Bend. That could buffer the Irish against one loss in their final three games, but with no conference title and some struggling marquee teams on their schedule such as Virginia Tech and Stanford, Notre Dame is not a lock if it gets into a resume contest with other oneloss teams. Even one it beat. No. 4 Michigan (8-1) The Wolverines have to feel good about controlling their path to the playoff. Winning out, including at Ohio State, puts Jim Harbaugh’s team at 12-1 with a Big Ten title. That’s a resume with victories against Michigan State, Wisconsin and Penn State, and a seven-point road loss to Notre Dame. One loss and Michigan is out, right? Not so fast. Take a quick glance at the rankings and notice how many highly ranked teams still have to play each other. It won’t take more than one or two mild upsets to have the selection committee sifting through a bunch of two-loss teams to fill the final playoff spot. Figure the ones with conference championships will have the edge.

This year, 63,228 Alaskans voted before Election Day, setting a record with 37,626 early votes cast at polling stations, but absentee voting was less common than it was four years ago, and initial returns indicated similar trends for Election Day voting: High for a midterm, but less Supporters of the “Stand for Salmon” Ballot Measure 1 hold signs at the intersection of the Sterling than 2014. and Kenai Spur Highways on Tuesday in Soldotna.

Vice Chair for District 30 Democrats, Eva Knustson, was waving signs in support of several candidates. She said the turnout at the intersection was great. “We’re trying to get a bunch of people to come out here and show support for the candidates,” Knuston said. “It’s been pretty great out here. Everybody’s getting along. Everybody’s cheerful. I love the peninsula because all these people are just showing up.” Micciche and write-in candidate Gillham, who are both running for the District O Senat seat, waved signs across the street from each other. Both said they were impressed with the number of people who came out to wave signs and support their campaigns. “We’ve had a good reception here at the Y,” Micciche said. “I’m excited about how many people are out from all the different campaigns. It’s an active election year and that’s a very good thing.” Gillham said he was feeling good about the race as he was holding campaign signs along the Sterling Highway. “It seems like I’m getting a lot of support,” Gillham said. “A lot more than even in the primary race, so I’m feeling pretty good about it. Gillham encouraged people

incumbent, but Seaton has defeated both Republican and Democratic Party challengers alike and won eight consecutive terms. With strong support from both District 31 and state party leadership, Vance sought to return the District 31 seat to the Republican Party. Vance also got support from a Washington, D.C.,-funded political group, Families of the Last Frontier, that spent $17,000 in advertising for her. Vance said she and her husband, Jeff, and their family are looking at options about living in Juneau for the session. “We’re looking to see what our options are and what to do, but we definitely want to stay together,” she said. Ballot Measure, commonly referred to as the “Stand for Salmon” initiative, failed in Tuesday’s election, with 63.70 percent of state voters casting “No” votes and 36.3 percent in favor with 88.20 percent of ballots counted. The measure proved contentious in Alaska, with money being poured into the issue by both supporters and opponents topping state campaign spending records. Stand for Alaska, the main group opposing the measure, reported $12 million in cash and in-kind contributions, the Juneau Empire reported. Two groups supporting the initiative reported a combined $2.54 million in contributions. Locally, voters had opinions across the board when it came to candidates and issues like Stand for Salmon.

to get out and vote. “I mean this is what America is about, our democracy,” Gillham said. “If you don’t vote, keep your mouth shut.” Groups who both support and oppose Alaska Ballot Measure 1 stood side by side waving signs along the road in Soldotna. Owen Phillips from Soldotna has been working for the Stand for Alaska campaign. While holding signs along the Sterling Highway Tuesday afternoon, he said Alaska Ballot Measure 1, which sought to rewrite salmon habitat law, is possibly the most important issue Alaskans will vote on in this election. “I think it’s incredibly important that everybody in the state votes ‘No’ because I think regardless of whether or not you believe there should be more protection for salmon, it’s a very poorly written initiative,” Phillips said. “If we want to move forward, we should move forward in a tested method rather than something that’s a complete overhaul.” Sarah Youngren dressed up as a salmon and held signs supporting Alaska Ballot Measure 1 along the Sterling Highway in Soldotna. “We’re out here holding signs for Ballot Measure 1, because we think it is a smart update to a permit law that’s been in place since statehood.” Also along the Sterling Highway in Soldotna, resident Nick Longobardi was balancing three different campaign resident Charles Anderson said that while he is against development projects like the Pebble Mine, he voted “No” on Ballot Measure 1 because he felt it is too broad in its reach. “I don’t think it stood for salmon,” he said. “I’m against Pebble Mine. … I was talking to somebody the other day, and they said … what a lot of these companies want to do … they want to privatize the profits, and socialize the risk. They want to keep all the profit, yet the rest of us are standing around, we’re the ones paying for it after it all goes south. So I’m not for Pebble Mine, I’m not for those sort of things.” Anderson said he asked his friends on both ends of the political spectrum what they thought of Ballot Measure 1, and found not many of them had read it, so he read it himself. “In their desire to address the Pebble Mine type things, they broadened it so wide that I can even dig a ditch on my own property,” he said. “… I’m all for salmon and conservation, but that bill did not do it at all.” Steven Rich, on the other hand, said he voted in favor of Stand for Salmon to protect the industry that brings in billions of dollars. He and several friends of his all fish in Kachemak Bay. “I love salmon, for one, and also I would say, it’s a billion dollar industry yearly, returning,” he said. “… I also just think that there’s too many outside interests. You know, the money.” Homer resident Douglas Tuttle echoes those sentiments. “I believe in protecting the environment and the salmon runs over one entity making money,” Tuttle said of why he voted “Yes” on “Stand for

signs. He said he came out to wave signs in support of Alaska Ballot Measure 1, Mark Begich for governor and Alyse Galvin for Congress because this election was pivotal. “I think Don Young’s about overdue,” Longobardi said. “I think it’s come time for him
to head out. We really need to hold Washington accountable. There’s just so much going on right now. We want answers, basically, and I think Alyse will help us get there. As far as Begich goes, he just seems like he actually knows what he’s talking about. He’s not just throw-
Salmon.” “I think the whole state benefits from the salmon, and I just don’t think it’s right for one business to capitalize on that.” Homer resident Jesse Bolt said he voted in favor of “Stand for Salmon” because, while it might cause issues in its implementation at first, he said he believes it’s in the state’s best interest. “It’s going to be one of those things where it’s going to seem like a terrible idea for the first couple of years, and then maybe things might improve after that,” Bolt said. When it came to the governor, Anderson voted for Dunleavy because he doesn’t align with the Democratic Party. “I don’t like the directions that the democrats want to take it,” he said. “They’re consideration is, you know, yeah we got money problems, but instead of seeing what we can cut and really trimming the belt — and we all know they can piss away our money quicker than we can, so I’d rather have my own and piss it away on my own instead of having them do it.” Allen Degraffenried said he voted Republic on all issues because it “takes the guesswork out of it.” Tuttle, on the other hand, voted for Begich. “I think it’s time for a change,” he said. So did Rich. “Truly, the lesser of two evils,” he said. “Nobody better. I don’t like SB91, but I don’t like the fiscal plan of anyone on the Republican side.” More locally, voters also seemed split between Vance and Seaton. Anderson said he went with Vance because it’s time for Seaton to be done. “Paul Seaton, that bird’s
been in there way too long,” he said. “And in my view, he’s just for bigger government, and I’m not.” Tuttle, on the other hand, voted to keep Seaton where he is. “I think he does a good job for Homer and for his district,” he said. Rich identified with aspects of both District 31 candidates. “I honestly don’t think Sarah Vance has a leg to stand on in the sense that ...” Rich said. “I like her stance on SB 91 personally, because I think that’s a terrible law that’s not taking it out on the state fiscally but on a social level, where people are losing all their stuff.” Seaton’s experience on the House Finance Committee swayed Rich’s vote. “He’s got his thumb on the pulse of where it (the state) should be going financially,” he said. “And Sarah Vance, she got driven into the ground like a tent spike the last time she ran for city council, so why am I going to elect her … if she can’t help out civically locally, then why would she go to the state to express my voice?” By many accounts, voter turnout on the lower Kenai Peninsula was strong. “This is the first time I’ve ever had to stand in line,” said Dana Stabenow Tuesday morning at the Diamond Ridge precinct at the Homer Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center. Turnout also was strong at Homer City Hall. “It was really busy this morning,” said Homer City Clerk Melissa Jacobsen. “It was really really busy during absentee voting. It was crazy busy. … It’s been a really good turnout overall.” Jacobsen said in early vot-
ing out political bullet points. He’s actually thought it through and you can tell that by listening to the debates.” At the polls, Kenai resident Calvin Cotterell said he voted because he was tired of current leaders. He said he doesn’t vote along specific

ing, more than 1,500 people voted in 15 days. On the first day 170 voted, with an average of about 100 a day, she said. On Monday almost 300 voted. Early voting at city hall had a minor glitch on Monday morning when a state poll worker mistakenly gave seven voters from District 31 ballots for District 30, said Samantha Miller, communications manager for the Alaska Division of Elections. To accommodate people visiting from outside the district who want to vote, Kenai Peninsula Borough early voting locations have ballots for all the peninsula districts. Shannon McBride, one of the people voting then, said she noticed the error when a man in the room said he couldn’t find his candidate on the ballot. The poll worker quickly replaced the wrong ballots and marked them as spoiled. “It was corrected even before I got the ballot,” McBride said. “It was clearly not intentional. … It was just a mistake.” Poll workers and Jacobsen tracked down the people who had voted incorrect ballots, and

party lines, but for who he feels is best for the job, which he said was 90 percent Republican this election. “The governor’s race is interesting,” Cotterell said. “I could tell you this. I don’t trust Begich as far as I can throw him. I hope and I pray that he doesn’t get it.”
they all came back and voted District 31 ballots. By about 1:50 p.m., 610 voters had cast their ballots at Homer City Hall, where residents living within city limits voted. Council member Heath Smith was there, along his daughter, who also voted, and his son. When asked why he felt it important to bring his children along to the polls, Smith said it’s “because this is what it’s all about.” “The more active they are, the more of a difference they can ultimately make,” he said of his children. Tuesday also marked a first for many new voters, including Brenna McCarron, 18, who voted for the first time at the Diamond Ridge Precinct accompanied her father, Jim McCarron. When her dad announced it was her first time voting, the people standing in line with her applauded. Brenna’s twin sister, Ali, also voted for the first time.

Abby, all I do is work and Abigail Van Buren go home. I don’t have a social life anymore because he doesn’t trust me to go anywhere alone. I can’t even talk on the phone to one of my girlfriends without him asking me a million and one questions. My friends and family tell me I need to do what’s best for me and leave him, but I’m not sure if I’m scared to leave him because I’ll be alone, or if I’m just scared of him. -- ON THE EDGE IN OHIO DEAR ON THE EDGE: Your “guy from high school” is doing his best to isolate you. This is one of the warning signs of an abuser. If you are afraid to leave him because you don’t want to be alone, please
consider how alone you are feeling right now. If you are afraid he will hurt you, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-7233 for suggestions on how to leave safely. If you need moral support when you deliver the message, have family members or several friends with you when you do it. Then block him from your social media and cellphone. And if he threatens you in any way, file a police report. The only thing you should NOT do is nothing. DEAR ABBY: At what age is it inappropriate for an uncle to cuddle his niece? She’s in fifth grade. I don’t do anything except put my arm around her while sitting on the couch. She still likes it, but when should I stop this activity with her? -- WONDERING IN THE SOUTH DEAR WONDERING: I don’t regard an uncle putting his arm around his niece to show affection as “cuddling.” However, the age when the displays of affection should be curtailed is when the girl is physically mature enough that it makes either her or her uncle uncomfortable. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also know as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018: This year you open up to many hidden desires that you often do not deem worthy of thought. Your creativity emerges the more you get in touch with your true feelings. If you are single, you could meet several intriguing people whom you will date with intensity. You will know when the right person comes along. If you are attached, the two of you seem to benefit from being together for hours without anyone else around. You might even start acting as if you have just fallen in love. A fellow SCORPIO expresses a similar intensity to yours. 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 Deal with others directly. You don’t want to sell yourself short. Listen to what is being shared by someone who seems very sure of the correctness of his or her perceptions. Understand that this person might want to share his or her deeper thoughts with you. Tonight: Be a duo. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH A friendship inspires you to take action or to push yourself harder. A new beginning becomes possible with a new friendship. You might be unsure about which direction you should head in. Know where you want to simplify your life. Tonight: Say “yes” to an exciting offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Pace yourself. You might believe your day to be normal, only to find that the unexpected occurs. Demonstrate your ability to adjust and sort through what is relevant to you. You might decide to handle
Rubes
things differently as a result of today’s events. Tonight: Put your feet up. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You have a tendency to go overboard, and you have difficulty reining yourself in. Look at a longdesired goal with depth and caring. You can see a loved one making an adjustment. Know that this process is not easy for this person. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Stay anchored, and remain focused on what you want and on where you are heading. You could be distracted by another situation involving property and/or a domestic matter. You cannot change others, but your attitude might transform as a result of trying. Tonight: Happiest at home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your instincts will guide you through a difficult talk, but only if you don’t get too tied up in who is right and who is wrong. A close loved one could prove to be an amazing inspiration. Reach out to this person more often. Tonight: Meet friends for some drinks and munchies. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might need a break from the extremely hectic pace you have been maintaining. Be aware that making a money decision right now would be ill-advised. Make sure that you and a friend see eye to eye on how to split a bill for a meal. Tonight: Partake in the good times. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH The New Moon in your sign announces that significant changes are about to head your way, if you so desire. You have to want these changes in order to make them a reality. A family member

Ziggy
might weigh you down with his or her heavy ideas and thoughts. Tonight: Time for fun! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You put on your best face, even if you do not feel on top of your game. You know the power of positive thinking. On the other hand, not processing the negative thoughts that surround you might be a mistake. Stay as clear-headed as possible. Tonight: Do something just for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Zero in on what is good for you. A get-together could be part of the scenario. You might need a friend to help you clear the air. Let this person play devil’s advocate. A friend or loved one could jolt you with a sudden twist or turn. Tonight: Visit with an older relative. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might not be sharing your desire to be more of a leader or an influencer around the workplace. Your talents in that area could emerge from out of the blue, or so others think. Co-workers will help pave the way if you let them know your desires. Tonight: Fun and games. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Look beyond the obvious when trying to make sense of a situation. Consider what has not been said. Think about how others feel. You might be unable to understand why you are doing all of this processing, but know that it will pay off in the end. Tonight: Be near good music. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell (1943), actor Adam DeVine (1983), actress Dana Plato (1964)
Give fruit a snip Dear Heloise: When a recipe calls for CUTTING DRIED FRUIT, it’s easier and faster to use a pair of scissors that are lightly coated with cooking spray. Just snip the fruit into small pieces with the scissors. -- Holly Y., Red Oak, Iowa SILICONE COVERS Dear Heloise: This information is in regard to the wonderful silicone covers that you can put on pots and bowls. They make a wonderful vacuum seal on both, but be careful taking them off pans or pots when they’re still hot because of the steam. The first time I used one on my frying pan and lifted it with my fingers, I got burned. Use a spatula or tongs to lift the cover. Love your column! -- Annie in Ohio PEANUT BUTTER BLUES Dear Heloise: Here is my hint to make peanut butter easier to thoroughly blend: Store the jars upside down, at room temperature, in a cabinet until you are ready to open them. This actually makes it easier to blend the oil into the peanut butter. After stirring, store the peanut butter in the refrigerator right side up. -- Marjorie F., North Little Rock, Ark. KITCHEN BLACKBOARD Dear Heloise: I painted the inside of one of my kitchen cabinets with chalkboard paint, then with chalk wrote out the measurements used in cooking. Example: 16 ounces equals 1 pound, 4 quarts equals 1 gallon, and so on. This has helped my kids when they’re making something in the kitchen. -- Emily M., Portsmouth, N.H. DID YOU KNOW? Dear Readers: It was a happy accident that tea bags were invented. Originally, samples of tea were sent in tea bags until someone got the brilliant idea to brew a cup of tea with the tea bag samples. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: My stepson “Arnold” recently moved out, and I found a notebook he left behind that I thought I’d use. Inside was a journal entry he had made last year about someone he loved. The problem is, it’s directed to another man. I want to believe that’s not true, but the writing and everything else checks out. I wish I had never seen it. We’re a Christian family and have conservative views. Arnold never dated much, but we thought it was because he was so focused on his education. None of us would have ever expected this. There were no signs whatsoever. I feel such a burden right now. I know why he wouldn’t tell his parents. His dad would be devastated. I never keep anything from my husband, and I feel terrible not being able to share this. But I don’t want to reveal what I saw if my stepson isn’t ready. What should I do? Should I ask Arnold about it? How can I take this burden off my shoulders? -- STRESSED IN THE WEST DEAR STRESSED: I am a firm believer in communication. Return the notebook to Arnold, and when you do, use it as an opportunity to open a conversation with him about it. I do not think you should unburden yourself to your husband. The person to “out” Arnold should be Arnold.

Mike Munger of CIRAC cuts the ribbon that officially opens the new Hilcorp Cross Inlet Pipeline.
With the most recent U.S. Geological survey ranking Mt. Redoubt in the top five of the most active volcanoes, it was double good news Friday, Oct. 19 when Hilcorp cut the ribbon officially opening of the new Cook Inlet Cross Inlet Pipeline. Before the opening, oil produced by the Cook Inlet platforms was sent to the tank farm at Drift River, then loaded on ships to be delivered to
the refinery in Nikiski. Mt. Redoubt has erupted twice in the last three decades, most recently in 2009. That eruption caused a shutdown of Inlet production and a lightering of the storage tanks. Hilcorp, a privately owned corporation, acquired Inlet production facilities from the major oil producers. To address the risk of volcano eruptions and Inlet shipping, they developed the Cross Inlet
Pipeline Project. “This was a great project that had a lot of support from the community and various agencies,” said Sean Kolassa, president of Hilcorp’s Harvest Alaska. “It was the right thing to do. We’re very excited about this project. It was a very complicated project that required a lot of support from a lot of different groups and a big effort from our company. And we are very pleased with

Bill Withrow said. “Going through these drills — where it becomes second nature for the kids if there ever is an earthquake — these children are prepared for it and know what to do.” Withrow said earthquake preparation has evolved over the years, and includes training for both students and teachers. “Once we finish up with the drill with the students, we call into central office with our own central radio system to make sure that we do have constant communication in the event of real emergency Kids take cover and hold on until the all-clear is given.

fective and bringing it to market,” explained Kolassa. The project was a longterm collaboration among agencies and groups like Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council (CIRAC), Kolassa said. “We sat down so that we could understand their concerns, and (tried) to find a project that made sense to deal with those concerns.

the results, and that this day has come.” Such an investment in infrastructure for what a handful of years ago was said to be a depleted oil field bodes well for the future of Cook Inlet. “The key to Hilcorp’s success since our inception as a company has been to go in and follow legacy producers or holders of assets and find new ways of unlocking that energy and making it cost ef-

situation. We practice every year and it gets better and better as we do more and more of it,” Withrow said. During a strong quake a few years ago, the facility fared very well with little damage, Withrow said. “At Redoubt we only had a few books that fell down, and that meant that everything was anchored to the walls properly. We had precautions in place prior to anything ever happening. So during that quake very little happened here. Safety is always first and foremost in our schools,” he said.

effective that will extend the life of the reserves here on the upstream side. This project is good for all Alaskans as well as the industry,” he said. About 57 different contractors were put to work on the project — most of them from Alaska — and 83 different
permits had to be issued, according to Kolassa. “It took a partnership, frankly, between all the state agencies to get the myriad of permits to make this happen,” said Mike Munger, CIRCAC executive director. “(There were) a lot of regulatory hur-
dles they had to jump over. Also the Native organizations were involved, as was CIRCAC. “And it was heartening to see this partnership between industry, the state and the citizens of Cook Inlet to make this happen. We saw the dev-
astating effects of Redoubt’s last two eruptions. Industry did a good job in 1990 to armor the Drift River facility against the mud flows from eruptions, but with Mother Nature it’s hard to gauge what the worst-case scenario may be in the next eruption. So,
after the 2009 eruption, CIRCAC took a strong position on a subsea pipeline to replace the Drift River facility. This is an exciting day and a win-win situation for everyone. This is a prime example that natural resource extraction can be done if it’s done responsibly.”
