Troopers say 4 killed on Parks Highway ANCHORAGE — Alaska State Troopers are investigating a collision on the Parks Highway that left four men dead and injured others, including a 2-year-old boy.

Troopers say the men killed Monday afternoon were among five people who had been traveling in a van that passed a commercial vehicle in a no-passing zone.

According to troopers, the driver of the van and a passenger died when their vehicle crashed into a truck traveling in the opposite direction.

Two other passengers from the van died while being transported to a hospital. The fifth person in the van sustained critical injuries.

Peninsula voters shot down a controversial proposition to fund a new school, passed another to move the border between the Central and South Peninsula Hospital Service Areas to the true midway point, and elected some fresh faces to both the borough assembly, school board and city councils.

Tuesday night’s unofficial results, with all 28 precincts reporting, show Proposition 1 failing by nearly 60 percent and Proposition 2 succeeding by 65 percent.

Many candidate races on the central peninsula were uncontested, while some were more competitive. In Kenai, three candidates, Robert Peterkin II,

Teea Winger and Bob Molloy were running for two vacant city council seats.

Carol Baumer, a retired Kenai resident, said voting for Teea Winger for the Kenai City Council brought her to the polls Tuesday.

“It’s a chance to sort of do something different,” Baumer said. “We’re all aging. It’d be nice to kind of get newer people in as the rest of us age-out.”

Newcomer Peterkin II was elected to the Kenai City Council, along with incumbent Molloy. Winger fell short by only 49 votes.

“I certainly appreciate the confidence of the voters and congratulate both Robert Peterkin and Teea Winger on a really good race,” Molloy said. “I’m looking forward to working

with Peterkin and the other city Kenai Peninsula Borough preliminary results council members.”

In Soldotna, all three candidates ran unopposed for the As of 9:56 p.m. Tuesday, with 28 of 28 precincts three open council seats. reporting, the municipal election preliminary results Todd Paxton came out on top in the Nikiski Fire Ser- were: vice Area board member race against Peter Ribbens.

Kenai City Council

By MEGAN PACER and MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News

In unofficial election results for the lower Kenai Peninsula elections, Ken Castner is the apparent winner for Homer Mayor, defeating three-term former city council member David Lewis.

In borough elections, Kenai Peninsula Borough District 9 Assembly member Willy Dunne is the apparent winner over East End Road pioneer Troy Jones.

Incumbent council members Donna Aderhold and Heath Smith easily won election in a three-way race. Candidate Deb Lowney had actively withdrawn from the campaign last month for family reasons.

percent, while contender David Lewis received 576 votes or 46 percent. There were also 19 write-in votes. With 1,261 votes cast out of 4,972 registered voters, turnout was about 25 percent.

“I’m happy about that,” Castner said Tuesday night.

“Nobody lost in this election with me being mayor.”

Castner explained that because he ran on a unity campaign of being a citizen mayor and on a pledge to not vote to break a tie, Homer has a mayor with no agenda.

“I ran to bring both sides together. I was only interested in the product of government,” he said. “As a nation and a town See HOMER, page A13

Flooding traps Phoenix cars PHOENIX (AP) — Remnants of a tropical storm drenched parts of the desert Southwest on Tuesday, trapping some drivers on swamped Phoenix streets as authorities prepared for possible flash flooding in Arizona, central Utah and elsewhere.

Rosa, a hurricane that was downgraded to a tropical storm and then to a tropical depression, reportedly killed one person in northwestern Mexico before moving north into the U.S. The National Weather Service issued a flash-flood warning for the Phoenix area, saying that more than 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rain fell in metro Phoenix by midmorning and additional rain was expected. The day was the city’s second wettest October day on record, the agency said.

Meteorologist Jaret Rogers said the rain appeared to be dissipating, with scattered showers predicted for the rest of the day and into the next. The moisture from the storm was expected to move out of Arizona by Wednesday afternoon and bring rain to Utah and Colorado.

Flash-flood watches remained in effect for parts of those two states.

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert declared a state of emergency Tuesday evening in advance of potential flooding from the remnants of Rosa.

Herbert said communities near burn scars created by recent wildfires were at increased risk for flash flooding and debris flow.

On Monday, Herbert mobilized about 200 National Guard soldiers to prepare for potential flooding south of Salt Lake City.

The soldiers were building flood berms and erecting barriers and sandbags.

Phoenix sees sudden and heavy downpours during the summertime monsoon, but the continuously falling rain is a rarity.

The heavy showers caused a riverbed to overflow, spilling muddy waters into a north Phoenix intersection. Firefighters slogged through waist-deep water to get to people stuck in their cars.

Crews pulled at least six people, including a child, from vehicles and carried them one at a time to a firetruck.

Around 10 vehicles, including a bus, were either at a standstill in the water or tried to drive through it.

Rogers warned that even a

short outburst of rain could still cause flooding in some areas.

“It won’t take much to add to the flooding potential,” Rogers said. “Once the ground’s saturated, it basically can’t hold any more water. It just runs off rather than being absorbed by the ground.”

The wet weather was a factor in numerous Phoenix-area freeway wrecks, but no serious crashes were reported, said Trooper Kameron Lee of the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Authorities warned drivers to avoid entering streets or washes inundated with water.

Public health perspective

Innovations in newborn bloodspot screening save babies and improve lives Newborn bloodspot screening is a

successful public health tool that improves outcomes for children born with congenital health threats and has saved thousands of lives.

Most disorders are not apparent at birth or in the first few days of life. But without early treatment, they can rapidly progress, leading to death or lifelong disability.

Therefore, the faster screening results are returned, the sooner parents and health care providers can begin appropriate care.

With Alaska’s sheer size, getting quick results can be challenging. Until recently, less than 0.5 percent of our babies had complete lab results within seven days of birth, which is the national standard.

Eighteen months ago, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services began a quality improvement project with funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to improve newborn bloodspot screening.

We are pleased to announce that in July, 93 percent of Alaska’s babies had complete newborn screening results within seven days. Alaska has become one of the top performing bloodspot screening programs in the country.

Even better, nearly half of those results are available by the fifth day of life. Division of Public Health Perinatal Nurse Consultant Sabra Anckner, the program manager, says she expects continued improvement. “Babies born in Alaska deserve to have as good outcomes as babies born anywhere else,” says Anckner.

Apparently, worst to almost first is not good enough for Anckner; her goal is to have most results back by day four or possibly even earlier.

All babies in Alaska are screened unless families opt out. Fortunately, participation rates are nearly 100 percent. Of roughly 10,500 children born each year in Alaska, screening detects life-threatening but treatable disorders in about 20 infants.

How did all this success happen? Much credit is due to Anckner, her coworkers, and health care providers across the state. Together, Anckner’s team showed great results through problem-solving, innovation, cooperation with partners and persistence.

Anckner remembers being inspired by a video at a conference that told the stories of families in other states affected by newborn screening. In one case, lab results detecting a treatable disorder came back the day after a baby had died. Had the turnaround time been faster, that baby could have been saved.

“It motivated me to make these improvements,” Anckner said. “I didn’t want to be the one to make that phone call, just a day too late.”

Fortunately, around the same time, Alaska became one of 28 states participating in the NewSTEPs program through HRSA aimed at improving newborn screening.

Before, Anckner said it was up to each health care facility to mail or ship samples however they chose to an Outside lab. With the NewSTEPS funding, Anckner was able to build a statewide shipping system to collect samples daily by courier from Anchorage and surrounding areas and by expedited air cargo from rural areas. Those samples are flown in a batch on the next available flight to the lab. DHSS is also partnering with a laboratory that operates seven days a week, further expediting processing.

Today, results are complete in the same amount of time it used to take to just get the samples to the lab.

Seven days a week, partners at the lab and Division of Public Health are calling out results to providers, helping ensure that Alaska’s babies have a great start in life.

These improvements have already changed and saved young lives. Now that’s something to celebrate.

Jay C. Butler, MD is Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer.

Kavanaugh and men’s ‘right to rule’ Neil Gorsuch is rooting for Brett Kavanaugh. It’s not just because they are both hard-right-wing zealots; it’s also because Gorsuch currently is the most junior justice on the Supreme Court, and until another one takes over his entry level, he is the one who has to do cafeteria duty. He also speaks last during their frequent private deliberative conferences and must answer the door when someone knocks during those sessions, because no staff is present, not even law clerks. We don’t know what would happen to him if he snapped at one of the Supremes: “Get it yourself! Can’t you see I’m busy?!”

“It’s like a form of hazing” of the high court’s low man on the seniority totem pole, says Elena Kagan, describing her eight years as the low woman on that pole, until Gorsuch came along last year. Now, just a year and a half later, he would no longer be a pledge, replaced by another rookie … sooner or later.

Will it be Kavanaugh, after his outlandish display of nonjudicial temperament? His attempts to bully senators who dared to question him about charges he had participated in sexual assault when he was young seem to have a reverse effect. After that remarkable day when an earnest Christine Blasey Ford calmly laid out in public her accusation that at a party, Kavanaugh had groped her and tried to rip off her clothing before she

escaped, his vitriolic denials ended up giving credence to her accusations.

It certainly convinced a few Republican senators the next day to jump off the confirm-Kavanaugh steamroller Bob Franken and allow the FBI to more fully investigate the allegations. The senators were led through the twists and turns by Arizona’s Jeff Flake, who insisted that they needed to do “due diligence” before they voted.

President Donald Trump, who seemed startled by the Flake news, could only agree to order the FBI to conduct the expanded background check. This was one time that he didn’t want to pick an ugly fight. And yes, it is ugly, but then what hasn’t been of late?

Still, even though many dark clouds are all-dark, this one may have a glimmer of a silver lining. What with all the censure over sexual abuse, we are finally forced to reflect on how men treat women, and how boys treat girls. It’s not just the physical acts ranging from molestation to rape and all points in between, not just the unwanted advances from those who are in positions of authority and not just the other forms of harass-

and the Fish Passageways Act, are among 18 state and federal regulations which guide a thorough, rigorous permitting process. I believe that repealing and replacing ADF&G regulations with vague, untested language will lead to uncertainty to the communities and the state. Instead, I believe we stay the path, creating future regulations in a thoughtful and educated manner as we have done for the last 60 years.

“Stand for Salmon” is about emotion, not science — pulling on the heartstrings without looking into the depths of the initiative. I will Vote No on 1 to protect our salmon, community and state from Outside interests that do not understand our lived experience, nor have the best interest of the state of Alaska and its residents in mind.

Vote No on 1 I am one of those of us lucky enough to call this Great Land home. I grew up on a Homestead in what is now Soldotna, Alaska — we commercial fished in the summer, and as a child I watched the Kenai River flow by less than a quarter mile from our home. I know that Alaska is one of the most unique places to live in the world. It is also one of the most challenging, wild and expensive. As Alaskans, we know that with the blessings of the land and water — stellar hunting and fishing, natural beauty, and richness of resources — comes the responsibility to look after our state for generations to come.

These things are evident to anyone who has made their life here. Living in Alaska means finding the proper balance between harnessing our natural resources and protecting Alaska for our grandchildren. Despite our long history of looking after this place, we are continually bombarded with demands that we restrict our use of the land and our desire for prosperity. These demands are almost exclusively made from outside the state of Alaska. We are not wholly averse to good ideas from “Outside,” but we tend to be a bit prickly when a bad idea is foisted on us by special interest groups that do not share our lived experience on the frontier.

I do not know another community or state that cares more about its watersheds and its salmon. Current ADF&G regulations, such as the Anadromous Stream Act

Better Go Vote If you like big government, socialist ideas, higher taxes, smaller PFD, out-ofcontrol spending, open borders for illegal aliens, more entitlements, vote Democratic.

If you prefer a smaller more conservative government, lower taxes, more jobs, a full PFD, reasonable entitlements for deserving families, less socialistic government programs, following existing immigration laws that are working very well, vote Republican It’s pretty cut and dried do your homework.

ment that women don’t even bother to report, either because they were frightened or because it was an exercise in futility. That is due in large part to the way males continue to diminish females.

Now, men are being forced to confront all this.

Brett Kavanaugh’s prospects for elevation to the Supreme Court are in serious jeopardy. He has been caught up in this overdue storm as we face up to mistreatment that dates back to the beginning of time.

We also finally are dealing with another fundamental issue: the abuse of privilege, the arrogant sense of entitlement that causes those in power to believe they can ignore the rules that apply to the riffraff. Kavanaugh, fairly or unfairly, has come to symbolize this self-appointed elite in the U.S. He was educated in a walled-off society of private, expensive schools and colleges, in his case Yale. He has left an impression on many that he is offended that anyone would even have the nerve to challenge his right to rule, as a violation of an implied caste system in this nation.

The examination of these two intertwined issues — the hubris of our selfstyled sovereigns and the oppression of women — is long overdue. In the case of Brett Kavanaugh, the brutal hazing has already begun, before he ascends to the nation’s highest court. If he does.

NY Times: Trump inherited $413M The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The New York Times reported Tuesday that President Donald Trump received at least $413 million from his father over the decades, much of that through dubious tax dodges, including outright fraud.

The 15,000-word Times report contradicts Trump’s portrayal of himself as a self-made billionaire who started with just a $1 million loan from his father.

The Times says Trump and his father, Fred, avoided gift and inheritance taxes by setting up a sham corporation and undervaluing assets to tax authorities. The Times says its report is based on more than 100,000 pages of financial documents, including confidential tax returns from the father and his companies.

A lawyer for Trump, Charles J. Harder, told the Times that there was no “fraud or tax evasion” and that the facts cited in the report are “extremely inaccurate.”

The White House dismissed

the report as a “misleading attack against the Trump family by the failing New York Times.”

It criticized the newspaper and other media outlets, saying their low credibility with the public is “because they are consumed with attacking the president and his family 24/7 instead of reporting the news.”

The New York state tax department told The Associated Press that it is reviewing the allegations in the Times and “is vigorously pursuing all appropriate avenues of investigation.” The department typically refers findings to the state attorney general’s office.

The Times says the Trump family hid millions of dollars of transfers from the father to his children through a sham company owned by the children called All County Building Supply & Maintenance.

Set up in 1992 ostensibly as a purchasing agent to supply Fred Trump’s buildings with boilers, cleaning supplies and other goods, the father would pad invoices with markups of 20 percent or even 50 percent,

thereby avoiding gift taxes, the newspaper reports.

The Times says that before Fred Trump died in the late 1990s, he transferred ownership of most of his real estate empire to his four living children. The value of the properties in tax returns summed up to $41.4 million, vastly less than the Times says they were worth.

The same properties would be sold off over the next decade for more than 16 times that amount.

In total, the president’s father and mother transferred over $1 billion to their children, according to the Times tally. That should have produced a tax bill of at least $550 million, based on a 55 percent tax on gifts and inheritance at the time.

Amazon raises wages to $15 per hour

By JOSEPH PISANI Associated Press

NEW YORK — Amazon, the business that upended the retailing industry and transformed the way we shop for just about everything, is jumping out ahead of the pack again, announcing a minimum wage of $15 an hour for its U.S. employees that could force other big companies to raise their pay.

The online giant also said it will push Congress to increase the federal minimum wage, now at $7.25.

Given Amazon’s size and clout, the move Tuesday is a major victory for the $15-anhour movement, which has organized protests of fast-food, gas station and other low-paid

workers. Already, several states and cities have raised their minimum wages above the federal one.

Amazon, whose value topped an awesome $1 trillion in September, has been under political and economic pressure to pay its employees more.

“We listened to our critics, thought hard about what we wanted to do, and decided we want to lead,” said Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO. But Amazon may also be offering raises out of necessity: With the economy booming and unemployment near rock bottom, employers are having difficulty finding help. Amazon, with about 100 warehouses around the country, will soon need to hire more than 100,000 workers to pack and ship boxes

Around the Nation

during the holiday season.

The wage increase takes effect next month.

Amazon said the move will benefit more than 350,000 workers, including full-time, part-time, temporary and seasonal positions. Employees at Whole Foods, the upscale grocery chain Amazon owns, will get the same raise. Hourly employees who already make $15 per hour will also see a wage increase, the Seattle company said. (Workers in Britain will also get a raise.)

Current pay for warehouse workers at Amazon is at least $12.25 an hour in Omaha, Nebraska, $13 in Baltimore and $16.50 in New York, according to recent job postings.

The announcement was enough to soothe one of Ama-

zon’s fiercest critics: Sen. Bernie Sanders. The senator, who frequently uses Twitter to point out the disparity between Amazon’s hourly wages and Bezos’ vast fortune, congratulated Bezos for “doing exactly the right thing” and urged other companies to follow Amazon’s example.

ACCRA, Ghana — Melania Trump opened her first big solo international trip as U.S. first lady on Tuesday with a wave, a smile and a baby in her arms, aiming to promote child welfare during a five-day tour of Africa.

She arrived in the West African nation of Ghana after an overnight flight from Washington and quickly made her way to the Greater Accra Regional Hospital.

The first lady saw how babies are weighed — they’re placed in sacks that are then hung from a hook attached to a scale. She also watched a nurse demonstrate how vitamins are administered to babies by mouth and toured the neonatal intensive care unit.

Mrs. Trump also cradled an infant and declared the baby a “beautiful boy” as she handed him back to his mother.

Mothers at the hospital for her visit received gifts of teddy bears nestled in white baby blankets, personally handed out by the first lady. The items carried the logo of “Be Best,” the child well-being initiative Mrs. Trump launched last May. With the Africa visit, the first lady aims to take “Be Best” and its focus on opioid abuse and online behavior to an international audience.

The first lady also had a private tea with her Ghanaian counterpart, Rebecca Akufo-Addo. They exchanged gifts: a Chippendale silver tray embossed with an image of the White House inside a leather case signed by “First Lady Melania Trump” for Akufo-Addo, and Kente cloth and artifacts for Mrs. Trump, according to her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham.

The first ladies met privately for about a half-hour at Jubilee House, Ghana’s presidential palace. The two first met last week in New York at a reception on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, where Mrs. Trump spoke about her upcoming trip.

Mrs. Trump’s visit opened in low-key fashion. Several Ghanaians interviewed said they knew little about it.

“Did you say President Trump’s wife just arrived in Accra?” street vendor Awo Yeboah asked. “I don’t think I have ever heard her name, Melania.”

Other locals said they knew about the visit but didn’t know what Mrs. Trump was doing.

Mrs. Trump landed in the capital, Accra, on Tuesday morning after a more than 12-hour journey from Washington. She was welcomed at the airport with dancing and drumming, schoolchildren waving mini U.S. and Ghanaian flags and the gift of a flower bouquet. Akufo-Addo was at the airport to welcome her.

Greg Madden leads the fourway District 5 School Board race, with over 163 votes ahead of 15-year incumbent Marty Anderson.

“Congratulations to Madden,” Anderson said. “It was a privilege to serve on the school board for 15 years. It was the longest I’ve ever done anything. I hope Mr. Madden learns quickly because there’s a lot of things coming up for the school district. I wish him well.”

Nine-year incumbent Tim Navarre lost by 43 votes to Matthew Morse, in the District 2 School Board race.

“I’m happy to win and I hope to do some great things for the school district,” Morse said.

At polls from Sterling to Ninilchik, voter turnout seemed somewhat sparse, with intermittent bursts of activity that kept poll workers on their toes.

Preliminary numbers showed 9,113 voters turned out for the elections this year, down from recent years. Unofficial results show 9,113 ballots were cast, out of 47,158 registered voters — approximately 19 percent of the population. In the 2017 Regular Election, 15,177 of the 44,951 registered voters cast ballots — approximately 34 percent of the population. Only about 21 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the 2015 regular elections.

On the central peninsula, voters seemed most concerned with the K-Selo bond proposition, which would provide $5,390,000 to help build a new school in Kachemak-Selo, an Old Believer village east of Homer. The Kenai Peninsula Borough was awarded a $10,010,000 grant through the 2016-2017 state capital budget. Under the grant program, the borough must provide a 35 percent match of $5,390,000.

Some voters said the K-Selo bond proposition was the primary reason they showed up at the polls.

In Kenai, Kaye Reed said

she came out to vote because it was her civic duty. She said she supported the K-Selo bonds because it means the peninsula is growing.

“If we’re needing to build a new school, that means we’re having growth, and that means we should be building new schools,” Reed said.

In Soldotna, teacher Bristol Demeter said supporting education by approving the K-Selo bonds was the main reason she came out to vote. Chad Sorenson, also in Soldotna, said he came out to vote because it was his civic duty. He said he also supported the K-Selo Bond issue.

“I think the school bond is important,” Sorenson said.

“It’s just the right thing to do for the little kiddos.”

In Sterling, Ted Moran said he came out specifically to vote against the K-Selo bond proposition.

“I think it’s just a waste of money for such a small area,” Moran said.

In Ninilchik, Marti Chapman also visited the polls to support the bond.

The bonds failed with 4,431 ‘no’ votes.

Although the K-Selo bond was the focus of many ballots on the central peninsula, many were ambivalent when it came to Proposition 2, which moves the common boundary between Central Peninsula Hospital Service Area and the South Kenai Peninsula Hospital Service Area 15 miles south.

The boundary between the two hospitals has always been at the Clam Gulch Tower along the Sterling Highway, which is 14.5 miles closer to the Central Peninsula Hospital than the true midway point. Chapman said she spent more time reading up on other issues.

“I didn’t do enough reading on that,” Chapman said. “I’ve been educating myself mostly on what’s coming up (in the mid-term election), with proposition 1.”

The proposition to move the border to the midway point was successful with over 65 percent of voters supporting it.

Gubernatorial candidates express disgust with assault sentence

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — Three Alaska gubernatorial candidates expressed disgust with the sentence of a man who assaulted a woman last year, with one suggesting, to applause, that the judge be removed from the bench.

Justin Schneider, who authorities say choked and masturbated on the woman, pleaded guilty to felony assault in a deal with prosecutors. He was sentenced to two years in prison with one year suspended.

He has no more time to serve after spending a year in home confinement.

Neither Gov. Bill Walker nor Democrat Mark Begich went as far as Libertarian Billy Toien, who during a Get out the Native Vote candidate forum Tuesday said the judge “needs to be thrown from the bench immediately.”

Superior Court Judge Michael Corey in November faces a vote to keep him on the bench.

A spokeswoman for the court administrator’s office has said the judge could not speak about his decision because of judicial ethics rules and that he’s also not speaking about the election.

Begich said the sentence was lenient and noted the victim was an Alaska Native. “I’m

not sure if that crime would have been treated the same way if it were someone different,” he said, noting inequities in the criminal justice system.

The former U.S. senator also noted the high rates of violence against women in the state, which he said was unacceptable.

Walker called the crime and sentence “terrible,” but said current law did not make the offense a sex crime. He said he plans to propose legislation to address that and other so-called loopholes in the state’s sex offense laws.

The next legislative session

begins in January.

Republican Mike Dunleavy did not attend Tuesday’s forum.

Campaign spokesman Daniel McDonald said Dunleavy had meetings in Anchorage, including with public safety employees, and an event in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley on Tuesday evening.

Richard Peterson, president of the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, told the audience at Tuesday’s forum that he probably shouldn’t get political. But “if you want to represent us, you should be here to hear from us.”

Walker and Begich have criticized Dunleavy for skipping some forums and took shots at him Tuesday, referring to him by variations of “the person who won’t show up,” as Walker put it.

Dunleavy attended a candidate forum with the two in Anchorage on Monday.

Walker, Begich and Toien all said they oppose President Donald Trump’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh. Walker cited concerns with Kavanaugh’s record, as did Begich, who also questioned Kavanaugh’s temperament.

Report: Officers justified in fatal shooting FAIRBANKS (AP) — Authorities were legally justified in their use of deadly force in the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old Fairbanks man last year, according to report from state prosecutors.

The report released Monday by the state Office of Special Prosecutions says three Alaska State Troopers and two Fairbanks police officers fired on Cody Eyre after he ignored repeated requests to put down his gun and pointed

it at officers.

The Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reports Eyre was shot Dec. 24 after officers responded to reports he had been drinking, was suicidal and had a .22-caliber revolver with one bullet. According to the state report, Eyre told the officers, “You guys can (expletive) die right now” as he pointed his gun at them.

The report, written by Chief Assistant Attorney General Paul

J. Miovas Jr., says “the officers were legally entitled to use deadly force to protect themselves and their fellow officers.”

Authorities say more than 40 rounds and two individual shotgun rounds were fired in two main volleys at Eyre. The report says Eyre had 23 wounds associated with the shooting, but the exact number of bullet hits was difficult to determine among entry and exit wounds.

Eyre’s family has said they are preparing a wrongful death lawsuit.

Eyre’s sister, Samantha Eyre-Harrison, told the NewsMiner the long time it took for the review of the shooting prompted the family to hire an attorney. The family also questions why so many officers opened fire in two separate volleys and why the situation escalated so quickly.

The star of our beef barley soup is an intense stock P ioneer P otluck ‘G rannie ’ A nnie B erg

In celebration of my little brother Jim McClure’s 71st birthday Monday, Oct. 1, 2018 would have been my little brother Jim McClure’s 71 birthday.

I remember the morning my Dad came into our bedroom (my brother John and sister Ginger shared a bedroom) and pulled on my big toe and whispered, “Get up and help Aunt Ruth get breakfast. You have a little brother.”

My reply was: “What? How did that happen?”

I scooted out of bed, grabbed my clothes just as my brother John woke up.

“What did Dad say?”

“I have a little brother.”

“Oh,” he replied, and rolled over and closed his eyes. If it was something for me, he was not interested.

I was 10 years old and felt so grown up. Besides, I loved Aunt Ruth. She was full of giggles and hugs.

I tiptoed out of the bedroom and dressed in the dinning room, hustled out to the kitchen to greet Aunt Ruth and get a big hug. She was in a hurry to get breakfast, but needed my help to show her where things were.

Dad had started the old black wood stove earlier and put the coffee pot on, then went out to milk.

Aunt Ruth was trying to find things in the cupboards to make pancakes. I got out the bowl Mom used, helped with the flour and found the baking powder and fixins’ for pancakes. I put the syrup, butter and jelly on the table. I set it with a plate on the end of the table for Dad and three plates for John, Ginger and a high chair for 2-year-old Elaine. Aunt Ruth sat on the end where Mom usually sat.

But that time John and Ginger could smell the bacon cooking and crawled out of bed. Ginger was 7 years old; John was 9. I still remember the excitement of being relied on to help Aunt Ruth and Dad. I really felt important.

I got Elaine dressed, remembering that when Dad came in to tell me I had a little sister, I reacted the same way.

“What? Where did she come from?”

I was 8 years old then and went through the same routine of helping my Aunt Ruth.

Heating up the water in a dish pan on the stove so we could do the dishes after breakfast, Aunt Ruth washed them and Ginger and I dried them with clean white, embroidered dish towels that were made from flour and feed sacks. Grandma embroidered most of them, trying to teach me to take small stitches and See ANNIE, page A8

By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

The star of our beef barley soup is a rich, intensely flavored beef stock.

We were able to make a from-scratch stock in about 2 1/2 hours thanks to a lot of browned beef (we preferred shank) and a few small bones.

As a bonus, the shank meat turned soft and gelatinous, perfect for shredding and adding to the soup. Mushrooms complement beefy flavor, so we used them for an even meatier-tasting soup.

Mulling over the choice of what barley to use, we settled on pearl barley because it is a quicker-cooking grain. Adding fresh thyme early on allowed its robust flavor to infuse the broth evenly while diced tomatoes added complexity and some acidity and helped balance the heartiness of the barley.

Making a beef noodle soup variation turned out to be a cinch: We simply swapped hearty wide egg noodles for the barley and simmered them right in the broth. You will need the stock and 2 cups of cooked beef (either from the shank or from the chuck) from Rich Beef Stock (recipe follows) for this recipe.

BEEF BARLEY SOUP WITH MUSHROOMS AND THYME Servings: 6 Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 onion, chopped 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 12 ounces white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced thin 1 recipe Rich Beef Stock (recipe follows) plus 2 cups meat, shredded into bite-size pieces 1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained 1/2 cup pearl barley

This undated photo provided by America’s Test Kitchen in September 2018 shows beef barley soup with mushrooms and thyme in Brookline, Mass. (Carl Tremblay/America’s Test Kitchen via AP)

1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley Salt and pepper Heat 1 tablespoon oil in stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and carrots and cook until vegetables are almost soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms soften and liquid evaporates, 4 to 5 minutes longer.

Add beef stock and meat, tomatoes, barley, and thyme. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low; simmer until bar-

ley is just tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Stir in parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Rich Beef Stock: This recipe for a rich traditional beef stock delivers a stock with great body, lots of beefy flavor, and a generous amount of meat. It took 6 pounds of beef and bones to make it. Here’s why: Roasting and simmering just beef bones with some aromatic vegetables yielded beef stock that tasted like bone-enhanced vegetable liquid.

We figured out that it was going to take more meat than bones to get deep

beef flavor. We tested different cuts of beef and shanks, a common supermarket cut with exposed marrow bones, were our favorite, followed by marrow bone-enhanced chuck.

Not only was the shank meat soft and gelatinous, it was perfect for shredding and adding to our beef soups. We used one lone onion as our vegetable and enlivened the stock with a modest 1/2 cup of red wine. Unlike other traditional stocks, ours was done in about 2 1/2 hours and was a onepot, stovetop-only affair. Note that See BEEF, page A8

Robust grilled cheese sandwiches for adults, not just kids

By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

Grilled cheese has a kids’ menu reputation, but just a few tweaks make it a sophisticated dinner option.

To create a sandwich with more robust flavor and personality without going overboard on toppings and additions, we focused on the cheese.

Our recipe began by mixing flavorful aged cheddar with a small amount of Brie and some wine in a food processor. Those two ingredients helped the cheddar melt evenly without becoming greasy.

A little bit of shallot increased the sandwiches’ complexity without detracting from the cheese, and a smear of mustard-butter on the bread added a sharp bite. Look for a cheddar aged for about one year (avoid cheddar aged for longer; it won’t melt well).

To bring the cheddar to room temperature quickly, microwave the pieces until warm, about 30 seconds.

GROWN-UP GRILLED CHEESE WITH CHEDDAR AND SHALLOT Servings: 4 Start to finish: 30 minutes

7 ounces aged cheddar cheese, cut into 24 equal pieces, room temperature 2 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed 2 tablespoons dry white wine or dry vermouth 4 teaspoons minced shallot 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 8 slices hearty white sandwich bread Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 F. Process cheddar, Brie, and wine in food processor until smooth paste forms, 20 to 30 seconds. Add shallot and pulse to combine, 3 to 5 pulses; transfer to bowl. In separate bowl, combine butter and mustard.

Brush butter-mustard mixture evenly over 1 side of each slice of bread.

Flip 4 slices over and spread cheese mixture evenly over second side. Top with remaining 4 slices bread, buttered side up, and press down gently.

Heat 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Place 2 sandwiches in skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until both sides are crisp and golden brown, 6 to This undated photo provided by America’s Test Kitchen in September 2018 9 minutes per side. shows a Grown-Up Grilled Cheese with Cheddar and Shallot in Brookline, See CHEESE, page A8 Mass.

The key to making a flavorful, tender butternut squash soup

By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

This simple butternut squash soup is little more than squash, cooking liquid, and a few aromatic ingredients; it comes together easily yet is creamy and deeply flavorful.

Many squash soups fail to live up to their potential, often ending up too sweet or with too little squash flavor.

We got the most flavor out of our squash by sauteing a shallot in butter with the reserved squash seeds and fibers, simmering the mixture in water, and then using the flavorful liquid to steam the unpeeled squash. This method gave us doubly flavorful, tender squash with the added bonus of avoiding the difficult task of peeling raw squash.

To complete our soup, we scooped out the cooked squash from its skin and then pureed it with some of the strained steaming liquid for a perfectly smooth texture. Some heavy cream added richness, and a little brown sugar and nutmeg balanced the squash’s earthy flavor.

CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 1 hour, 30 minutes 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 large shallot, chopped 3 pounds butternut squash, quar-

tered and seeded, with fibers and seeds reserved 6 cups water Salt and pepper 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar Pinch ground nutmeg Melt 2 tablespoons butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in squash seeds and fibers and cook until butter turns orange, about 4 minutes.

Stir in water and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer, place squash cut side down in steamer basket, and lower basket into pot. Cover and steam squash until completely tender, 30 to 40 minutes.

Using tongs, transfer cooked squash to rimmed baking sheet. Let squash cool slightly, then scrape cooked squash from skin using soup spoon; discard skin.

Strain cooking liquid through finemesh strainer into large liquid measuring cup. Working in batches, puree cooked squash with 3 cups strained cooking liquid in blender until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Return pureed soup to clean pot and stir in cream, sugar, nutmeg, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Return to brief simmer, adding additional strained cooking liquid as needed to adjust consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

. . . Annie Continued from page A7

“make them neat, Edith Ann!” Grandma and Aunt Ruth were the ONLY ones that could call me that. I did not like my first name, but when Grandma said it — she said it with lots of love

— it was OK. When I asked Grandma why my name was Edith Ann, because I knew she was the one who named me, she grew real indignant.

“WELL,” she replied. “I could have named you Freda Louise, but your Dad did not like that.” Her name was Freda Pauline.

I shut up after that — because I DID not like either of those names.

Mom and Dad decided to remodel the house and expand to make another bedroom and a large living room with a beautiful fireplace. We all moved into the basement for the remodel. Dad and Grandpa dug the basement out by hand and then poured concrete by the wheelbarrow full for the walls. It was an allsummer job on top of all the other farm chores, the year before in 1946.

All settled into the basement, Mom and Dad left me in charge of the everyone while they went into Fort Collins to select paint for the walls of the new remodel. (This included paint for a big nice kitchen for Mom. She selected yellow walls and and red ceiling. YES! ) They left a little after four in the afternoon. The only way I could contain active little brother Jim was to TIE him in the high chair with a kitchen towel. I noticed that he needs a hair cut. I got out the kitchen shears, and proceeded to cut his hair.

When I got through with the hair cut, I made a chocolate cake from the recipe on the soda box. I was so important!

The cake baked and baked but it still had a hole in the middle and dripped over the sides. I did not know we lived at a mile-high altitude and you had to adjust the leavening and the flour. Before I could get rid of the evidence Mom and Dad came home.

Mom looked at the “cake” and frowned. Dad looked at Jim’s hair cut and looked at me. He roughed up Jim’s hair.

“I will have to take him for a hair cut in the morning,” he said.

No scolding, just a frowns. If I had a scissors in my hand anytime after that, Jim would cover his hair with his hands and run!

Jim was on the the run everywhere he went, and it was my job to keep up with him to see that he did not get hurt and keep him out of trouble. He climbed trees. He climbed on tractors. He walked through mud puddles and into the dug-out silo where Dad had cut corn stalks for silage. He came out of there smelling like he was fermented. He climbed up in the barn looking for kitties. He tried to jump out of the hay door on the top floor of the barn. He got into the cattle corral and swished his hands in the water tank. He got in the chicken pen and chased the chickens. He tried to find eggs in the nests. He got two out before he broke one. I had to clean him up with the garden hose every night before he was allowed back in the house!

We played on the swing with Elaine. He wanted to swing high. He also would jump out of the swing!

He had a favorite “binkie” he drug everywhere he went.

Sometimes it would get left in some unusual spot and we would have to back track to find it to shut him up!

He also had a favorite boy doll that dressed like a cowboy. I have completely forgotten what he named it! He slept with both the “binkie” and the doll.

He grew up into a fine person and I went on to have my own life. We connected every once in a while. The last time I spent a lot of time with him was when he had a brand new Pontiac GTO and loaded up three suitcases, my three kids and me and drove us to Denver to get on our first airplane ride to Alaska.

That was in 1967. He was 20 years old. I was 29 years old and headed to a place I did not know anything about. I soon learned, and 51 years later I am still in Alaska. My kids and grandkids and great-grandkids are here in this area, except for Michael and great-granddaughter Cecile, who are in Washington.

Jim and Sandy raised a great family and have many grand kids. He loved the Bronco’s and had wonderful get to gathers for all the games.

Jim visited me two times in Alaska. He thought I had made the right choice and reminded me that he had had a hair cut before he came!

With lots of love and wonderful memories, I wish him a heavenly birthday. He is greatly missed.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Oct. 3, the 276th day of 2018. There are 89 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 3, 1995, the jury in the O.J. Simpson murder trial in Los Angeles found the former football star not guilty of the 1994 slayings of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman (however, Simpson was later found liable for damages in a civil trial).

SoHi seniors pull off sweep of rival Kenai

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Soldotna volleyball coach Sheila Kupferschmid made her seniors earn a triumphant finale on their archrival’s home floor.

In front of a pulsating crowd, the Stars swept host Kenai Central 25-21, 25-11 and 26-24 on Tuesday in nonconference action. Soldotna moved to 11-2 overall, while Kenai fell to 5-3. Both teams will be in action Friday and Saturday at the Grizzly Invite in Anchorage.

With her team ahead 2-0, Kupferschmid made a lineup of her six seniors — Kalyn McGillivray, Carsen Brown, Kodi McGillivray, Brittani Blossom and Aliann Schmidt — for Game 3. The coach also added juniors Bailey Leach and Jaime Holleigh to the mix.

The Kardinals, without a senior on their roster, jumped to a 20-15 Game 3 lead against SoHi’s veterans.

“I think Kenai played well,” Kupferschmid said. “They’re a bunch of underclassmen and they played us tough and competitive. They hung in there.”

With the Kenai crowd at full throat, Kupferschmid said her new lineup did a great job of steadying itself.

Leach, who would finish with five aces, had a kill to cut the gap to 2118, then served out three points — two aces and a kill by Schmidt — to tie the game at 21. The game also would be knotted at 23 and 24 before a Kodi McGillivray kill and a Kenai hitting error would end it.

“I’m proud of the seniors for coming

back like that,” Kupferschmid said. “It’s special. That’s their last time on Kenai’s floor.”

Kenai coach Tracie Beck said it was a step forward for the Kardinals, a Class 3A school, to hang with the Stars, one of the top teams in the Class 4A Northern Lights Conference. Though Kenai is young, Beck said the squad keeps getting better by executing what is practiced.

“We worked on serve-receive and we had a lot of quick options tonight, which was fantastic,” Beck said. “Against a team like that, you need a quick set so their big block can’t set up.”

Both coaches said the crowd, complete with plenty of body and face paint, affected the first game. Beck, who did not coach last season, said her players said there were not home crowds like that last season.

“You could feel at first they could feel the pulse of the crowd,” Beck said of her squad. “That’s the amazing thing about Kenai. There’s so much energy when you play here. Great kids.”

Even Kupferschmid’s experienced squad was out of sorts due to the noise.

“The crowd did affect us,” she said.

“The kids didn’t play well in the first set. They settled in and got into a routine and rhythm, and volleyball is a game of rhythm.”

The first game was tied at 21 when SoHi took control. Schmidt, who had 10 kills and two blocks, got the ball to server Kylie Ness with a kill. Ness then served out the last three points — two on aces and one on a stuff block by Schmidt

and Brittani Blossom, who had eight digs and 10 points off her serve.

Soldotna then rolled to a 25-11 victory in Game 2 with Ituau Tuisaula asserting herself. The junior ended up with 10 kills on just 15 attempts for the match. Jaime Hol-

leigh added seven digs for the Stars.

“Ituau was a dominant player,” Kupferschmid said. “They were not able to contain her swing.”

For Kenai, Jaiden Streiff had seven kills and an ace, Bethany Morris had five kills and an ace, Kaylee

Lauritsen and Kailey Hamilton had seven assists apiece, and Jenna Streiff had 16 digs.

Beck said Jenna Streiff, a freshman libero, moved around like crazy and did a good job against SoHi’s tough attack.

Rockies prevail over Cubs in 13-inning Wild Card game

By JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO — Tony Wolters hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the 13th inning and the Colorado Rockies beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on Tuesday night in an epic NL wild-card game.

In the longest win-or-gohome postseason game in major league history, Wolters entered as part of a double switch in the bottom of the 12th. The reserve catcher came up with runners at the corners and drove in Trevor Story with a liner back up the middle off losing pitcher Kyle Hendricks for his first hit since Sept. 10, quieting the crowd of 40,151 on a crisp fall night.

After playing its third big

game over three days in three different cities, Colorado now heads to Milwaukee to open a best-offive Division Series against the NL Central champion Brewers on Thursday at Miller Park.

Scott Oberg, the sixth Colorado pitcher, fanned Kris Bryant for the final out of the 12th and then struck out the side in the 13th to end the longest postseason game in Wrigley Field history. Terrance Gore tried to sell that he was hit by a pitch, but was sent back to the plate after a replay review confirmed the initial call.

After Albert Almora Jr. struck out swinging for the final out, Wolters ran out and grabbed Oberg. They were soon joined by the rest of the excited Rockies in a rollicking

NFL drops fines for celebrations

By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK — Well, that’s one way to flush some money away.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell was fined $13,369 by the NFL on Tuesday for his crude touchdown celebration in Cleveland.

After scoring against his former team on Sept. 20, Crowell took the football and wiped it against his rear end before firing it into the stands. It made for a viral moment from New York’s 21-17 loss to previously winless Cleveland , and earned Crowell a scolding from coach Todd Bowles.

“It was inexcusable,” Bowles said after the game. “We talked about it and it will never happen again.”

Crowell insisted he wasn’t trying to send a message to the team for which he played four seasons before signing with the Jets as a free agent in March.

He said he was just having fun, but felt bad about the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty his celebration drew.

The news doesn’t all stink for Crowell, who actually landed a promotional deal with Dude Wipes — a company that sells a toilet paper substitute for men.

Both the company and Crowell posted photos on social media of the running back holding boxes of the wipes.

“Thanks to @dudewipes I am now covered,” Crowell wrote in his post on Instagram . “Never leave home without them.”

Crowell wasn’t the only

player to get a big fine dumped on him.

Atlanta’s Brian Poole was docked $20,054 for a horsecollar tackle and $20,054 for roughing the passer for a total of $40,108; and Minnesota’s Anthony Barr was fined $10,026 for a facemask call and $20,054 for a horse-collar tackle for a total of $30,080.

Poole was called for roughing the passer on New Orleans’ Drew Brees in the second quarter of the Falcons’ 43-37 overtime loss on Sept. 23. The other fine came for his takedown of Taysom Hill in the fourth quarter.

Barr had a facemask penalty on Bills running back Chris Ivory in the first quarter of Minnesota’s 27-6 loss to Buffalo, and was called for a horse-collar on quarterback Josh Allen in the second.

Fined $26,739 by the league were San Francisco’s Antone Exum (unnecessary roughness), Jacksonville’s Malik Jackson (unnecessary roughness for a helmet hit on Tennessee quarterback Blaine Gabbert), Pittsburgh’s Darius Heyward-Bey (unsportsmanlike conduct for verbal abuse of officials) and Buffalo’s Tre’Davious White (unnecessary roughness for a helmet-to-helmet hit).

Minnesota’s Linval Joseph and Pittsburgh’s Sean Davis were both docked $20,054 for illegal hits on quarterbacks.

Denver rookie running back Phillip Lindsay was fined $10,026 for unnecessary roughness after he was ejected from the Broncos’ 27-14 loss at Baltimore in Week 3 for throwing a punch.

purple mob near the mound.

It was Wolters’ playoff debut and just the second postseason game for Oberg. Previously, the longest winner-take-all games in the postseason were 12-inning affairs in the 2014 AL wild-card round and Game 7 of the 1924 World Series.

It had pretty much everything, too. Hendricks was the third starting pitcher used by the Cubs, after Jon Lester worked six solid innings and Cole Hamels was pressed into action after the teams were tied at 1 after nine. Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado exchanged a memorable hug with Javier Baez after he tagged the excitable Cubs star in the 11th.

Colorado moved on to the Division Series for the first

time since 2009. The Rockies lost to Arizona in the wild-card game a year ago.

Chicago made it to the NLCS in each of the previous three seasons, winning the 2016 World Series to break a 108-year drought, but it was plagued by an inconsistent offense all season long. The Cubs finished with just six hits and left 10 runners on base after managing only three hits in Monday’s 3-1 loss to the Brewers in the NL Central tiebreaker.

This time, it was Kyle Freeland cruising through manager Joe Maddon’s lineup.

Starting on three days’ rest for the first time in the pros, Freeland struck out six in 6 2/3 scoreless innings. The Denver native looked quite comfortable in his

first career playoff appearance, helping his hometown team bounce back from Monday’s NL West tiebreaker loss to the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Lester helped Chicago stick around by matching a career playoff high with nine strikeouts in his 26th postseason appearance. But he took a little while to settle into the game, and the Rockies took advantage.

Charlie Blackmon led off with a five-pitch walk. DJ LeMahieu followed with a ground-rule double on a 3-2 pitch — with the ball getting lost in the famed ivy in leftcenter — and Arenado’s sacrifice fly drove in Blackmon.

Lester then limited the damage by striking out Trevor Story and Matt Holliday with LeMa-

hieu on third.

That one run looked as if it might hold up as Freeland cruised into the seventh. After Story robbed Daniel Murphy of a hit with a diving grab at shortstop in the seventh, manager Bud Black replaced Freeland with Adam Ottavino.

Chicago loaded the bases with two outs, getting some help when Drew Butera was called for catcher’s interference, but Ottavino struck out pinch-hitter Jason Heyward to end the inning.

The Cubs got another chance when Anthony Rizzo singled with two outs in the eighth, and Maddon went for it. He ran for his star first baseman with speedy Terrance Gore, who promptly swiped second.

. . . Homer Continued from page A1

we should start working together. Now we can start working together.”

That message resonated with voters, Castner said, and not only from city residents.

“I think the citizens wanted that,” he said. “I feel like they did. It’s not a 60-percent mandate, but it’s still a goodly mandate.”

Lewis, a three-term former Homer City Council member who weathered a bitter recall attempt last year, congratulated Castner on his win.

“Congratulations.

Have fun,” Lewis said. “You’re now in charge somewhat, because the mayor is more of a figurehead. Good luck with that and treat the employees well.”

He also was philosophical about his loss.

“People voted and that’s what they wanted,” Lewis said.

“Not much I can say.”

With the city budget cycle starting this month, Castner said that will be his first order of business.

“I’m a numbers guy, he said.

“I’m going to give the budget a harder work over than any other mayor has.”

When recall proponents first proposed the idea of kicking Lewis out in March 2017, Lewis joked then that he hoped they would do it soon so he could watch the March Madness basketball playoffs.

“I’m back on vacation and permanent retirement,” he said.

“On Monday nights I’m watching the NCAA championships and everything else that comes around.”

About 320 absentee, question or special-needs ballots were turned in, with nine more outstanding by mail. Those ballots will be counted by the canvass board on Friday and certified by the Homer City Council at its Monday, Oct 8, meeting.

Borough assembly District 9 Willy Dunne: 626 Troy Jones: 541 Current Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly member Willy Dunne is poised to return to his seat for a three-year term after Tuesday’s election, with 85 more votes than newcomer Troy Jones. With absentee, question and special needs ballots still be to counted, Jones said he’s not ready to call the race and is looking forward to the final count.

“My position is it’s not over ‘till it’s over and everything is counted,” he said.

Jones, Alaska homesteader and owner of East Road Services, said his first run at a political office was a great learning experience.

“It’s been a fun run,” he said.

Jones thanked everyone who supported him and everyone who went out to vote. Dunne said, compared to what he remembers from the 2015 municipal election when he first made it onto the assembly, there may have been a higher voter turnout in District 9 this year.

Dunne said he feels comfortable that he will retain his lead after the final votes are tallied.

“It feels pretty good,” he said of the preliminary results.

“I think my experience at the assembly and my campaign has paid off. The people seem to have spoken.”

Dunne said he had a great group of election volunteers helping with his campaign. He added that it’s been nice getting to know his opponent in the process.

“I really respect Troy,” Dunne said. “And I hope he’ll stay involved in the community and perhaps get involved on some local committee or service area.”

Prop 1 Yes: 2,988 No: 4,431 According to preliminary results, Kachemak Selo will not get the money it needs for a new school facility. With all precincts reporting Tuesday night, voters failed the proposition asking for general obligation bonds for the project by a margin of 1,433 votes.

The proposition asked voters to allow the borough to go out to bond for about $5.5 million to help pay for a new school in Kachemak Selo (about 30 miles east of Homer).

The three building currently being used to house k-12 students in the remote village are far past their useful lives, according to the Kenai Peninsula

Borough School District and borough staff.

The borough is currently eligible for a $10 million grant from the state to pay for a new school. Now that the bond proposition that would have provided the required local match has failed, the borough will likely have to foot the entire bill when a new school is built. Rep. Paul Seaton has explained that there is a chance to get the grant extended, but that it would be difficult.

Several borough and school district officials have said that the borough will have to build a new school anyway. State regulations prohibit boroughs from housing students in unsafe buildings and require that boroughs be responsible for building new facilities when they are

needed.

Props 2 and 3 Prop 2: Yes: 2,385 No: 1,261 Prop 3: Yes: 2,173 No: 704 Proposition 2 asked voters in the central peninsula and those in a proposed expanded area if they wanted to extend the CPH Service Area boundary about 15 miles south to Barbara Drive in Ninilchik. Proposition 3 asked voters in the south peninsula and those in a proposed expanded area across Kachemak Bay if they wanted to extend the SPH Service Area boundary to include the land south of Kachemak Bay, but excluding the city of Seldovia.

Homer City Council

Donna Aderhold: 750 Heath Smith: 638 Deb Lowney: 526 Current Homer City Council members Donna Aderhold and Heath Smith were elected to the two seats that were open.

This will be the second term on council for each of them.

While the race was uncontested, Deb Lowney, a member of the Parks, Art, Culture and Recreation Advisory Commission and the Homer Education and Recreation Complex Task Force, also appeared on the ballot as a choice for one of the council seats. However, she announced shortly after having filed to run for office that she would not actively campaign and that she would not be able to sit on the council due to family matters.

Crossword

Long-married couple wonders if being ‘swingers’ is for them DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married for years. We married young, and I’m the only man she has been with. Although we seem to have a good sex life, she’s now saying she wants more. She wants to experiment and is suggesting we try a “swinging” lifestyle -- a threesome or foursome -- swapping partners.

I think she wants to experience a stronger, more physically attractive man. I’m not against it. I fantasize about watching her with another man, and it could be exciting to make love with other women. However, my question to you and your readers is, does this lifestyle enhance a marriage or does it usually lead to severe marriage issues?

I would talk to her parents about it, but she doesn’t feel comfortable around her dad, and her mom is part of the reason she self-harms. She had a therapist she could talk to, but not anymore.

I want her to feel loved, but so far, all I’ve been doing to help is listen when she talks.

She needs to be able to see herself as others do. What can I do -- CONSIDERING IT IN CALIFORNIA to help her? I don’t want to sit DEAR CONSIDERING IT: Depending upon idle while she struggles.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married forever to a very demanding and controlling man. We are older now, so, without consulting me, he bought cemetery plots for us.

The problem is, I’m scared to death of cemeteries and always have been. I prefer to be cremated and have my ashes scattered over places I love.

One of my kids is OK with it; the other isn’t. How can I make sure my wishes will be respected?

Abigail Van Buren

-- GOING OUT MY WAY DEAR G.O.M.W.: It appears that one of your kids takes after their father. If your husband dies first, your problem will be solved because your wishes will prevail.

Talk with an attorney who specializes in estate planning about putting language in your will that specifies that if you AREN’T cremated and scattered as you wish to be, the person responsible will receive no more than $1. Then choose an executor you can trust, and when the time comes, rest in peace.

-- GOOD FRIEND IN KANSAS DEAR GOOD FRIEND: You are a caring person, but your friend has serious emotional problems you don’t have the training or experience to handle. She will need professional help to get to the root of her emotional pain before she can stop cutting.

Because she no longer has a therapist and her DEAR ABBY: One of my very close friends selfDear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also harms. She constantly slits her wrists and forearms.

the people involved, the swinging lifestyle can either enhance or destroy a marriage. If the couple is honest with each other from the beginning, establishes firm ground rules and adheres to them, it won’t hurt the marriage. However, if one partner feels coerced into participating, it can be destructive, which is why I do not recommend it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might be concerned about a meeting that you can’t avoid.

A salty solution Dear Heloise: I use a slow cooker for corned beef. I like to make a bed of CUTUP APPLES, then put in the corned beef on top and cover with more apples. There is no need to peel or core the apples, as they are thrown away after cooking. The apples pull salt from the beef, leaving moist, delicious meat. Apples also can be used for ham for the same reason.
