In the news Kodiak votes down soil contamination site KODIAK — Some Kodiak residents will no longer have to worry about a contaminated soil remediation site coming to their neighborhood. The Planning and Zoning Commission last week voted against granting a permit that would have established the site in the Dark Lake neighborhood, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Monday. The Kodiak Island Borough Engineering and Facilities Department discovered the contaminated soil in the spring while doing work at Kodiak Middle School. The first choice was to move the soil to the landfill, but a permitting issue got in the way. The Dark Lake site was a “last resort choice” that came out of necessity, said Daniel McKenna-Foster of Kodiak Island Borough’s Community Planning Department. The proposed site would have used a bioremediation process in which stored contaminated soil is periodically turned over or tilled to aerate the mixture until contaminants are removed. A Community Planning Department document states that remediation at the proposed site “would not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience or comfort” and that the movement of the soil was necessary “for the safety of Middle School students.” The site was previously used for this exact purpose between 2010 and 2012, when contaminated soil was discovered at Kodiak High School. Residents expressed concern over possible effects on property prices. Many of the residents suggested that the landfill is the most suitable spot for any kind of remediation and that the borough should focus its efforts on fixing the permitting issues there. Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission appeared to agree with the residents, before unanimously voting to deny the permit. “This is not a good location,” said commission chair Scott Arndt. There is reason to believe that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly will seek out other options rather than appeal the Planning and Zoning Commission’s decision. The question of where to establish the remediation site still remains.

Soldotna introduces resolution Russians abandon opposing ‘Stand for Salmon’ plans By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Soldotna City Council will introduce a resolution at tonight’s meeting that would express the council’s opposition to the “Stand for Salmon” initiative. The resolution, prepared at the request of Councilmember Lisa Parker, would oppose Alaska Ballot Measure 1, known as the Stand for Salmon initiative, and instead support a legislative approach to developing salmon habitat regulations. According to the city’s attorney, Brooks Chandler, and Andrew Sayers-Fay, director of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation’s Water Division, if Ballot Measure 1 is passed, the city of Soldotna would have to obtain a fish habitat protection permit from Alaska De-

to export Alaska bison

Bike fix-it station installed in Soldotna By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Soldotna Parks and Recreation Department set up a bike fix-it station on Monday in front of the Soldotna Sports Center. BIK&S, AK, which stands for Biking in Kenai and Soldotna, helped install the fix-it station along the Unity Trail using scrap metal, bike tools donated by Beemuns Bike and Ski Loft and a pump donated by Cook Inletkeeper. Joel Todd, assistant director for Soldotna Parks and Recreation Department said the advocacy group, BIK&S, AK, has been working with the Parks and Recreation Departments in Kenai and Soldotna on several bike-related projects this summer, including a fix-it station in Kenai, which was installed by a Kenai Central High School student at Beaver Creek Park just last month. BIK&S, AK is a community-led advocacy group that promotes safe bike travel between the cities of Kenai and

Soldotna. “This group envisions bikefriendly communities where bicycling is a convenient, routine, safe, and healthy transportation option that contributes to the high quality of life for Kenai Peninsula residents and visitors,” a press release sent by Soldotna Parks and Recreation stated. Both stations include a bike stand, screwdrivers, Allen wrenches, tire levers, box wrenches and a pump. Todd said the station includes all the tools necessary to perform basic bike repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs. BIK&S, AK is currently working toward the submission of two Bicycle Friendly Community applications with The League of American Bicyclists. It involves an extensive analysis of current bike-friendly resources in both Soldotna and Kenai. The results will be used to improve biking conditions in the community.

FAIRBANKS (AP) — A Russian bio-engineering experiment has abandoned plans to export 12 Alaska bison because of difficulty finding a company capable of making the journey. The animals from Stevens Village Bison Farm, about 100 miles southwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, spent the spring and summer seasons in quarantine, costing the Pleistocene Park $1,500 a week, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported . The Pleistocene Park is an attempt to test a hypothesis that restoring the Arctic to the more than 10,000-year-old mammoth steppe ecosystem can slow the acceleration of global warming. Restoring the mammoth steppe landscape involves importing lots of large mammals to a 6.3-square-mile enclosure. Park logistics man Luke Griswold-Tergis worked to persuade air cargo companies in Russia, Alaska and Canada to consider flying the bison. Each potential company ended up backing out because of issues including visas and mechanical problems. “We had no viable way of getting them to Russia. We tried everything and were planning on giving up several times and there’d be some new glimmer of hope and we’d decide to pursue it,” Griswold-Tergis said. “At some point, you’ve got to quit.” The Pleistocene Park raised more than $175,000 from donors through a Kickstarter.com campaign and a more recent Indiegogo.com campaign.

No jail time in assault case spurs push to oust judge By DAN JOLING Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — A man drove an Alaska Native woman to a dark street, said he would kill her and choked her until she blacked out. He then masturbated on her face. Originally charged with kidnapping, 34-year-old Justin Schneider pleaded guilty to a single count of felony assault in a deal with prosecutors and was sentenced last week to two years in prison with one year suspended. Having already spent a year in home confinement, he stepped out of the courtroom with no more time to serve. The case has stirred outrage, with victims’ advocates pointing to it as another example of a lenient sentence for a crime against women amid the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct. The judge said he thought the sentence was too light but deferred to prosecutors on what could be proven at trial.

Advocates are pushing to oust Superior Court Judge Michael Corey in November when he faces a vote to keep him on the bench, months after a successful recall of a California judge who sentenced former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner to six months in prison for sexual assault. Alaska Gov. Bill Walker, an independent facing re-election, vows to change state law that does not classify Schneider’s actions as a sex crime. “The punishment in this case in no way matched the severity of the crime,” Walker said in a statement. “We must fix this problem immediately, and we will.” Walker plans to announce proposed legislation this week that will make a conviction for unwanted contact with semen a sex offense carrying prison time of two to 12 years and mandated registration as a sex offender. The case comes in a state with some of the highest sexual assault and domestic violence

The Alaska Department of Law stood by a judge’s sentence that calls for no jail time for Schneider who authorities say offered a woman a ride and choked her until she was unconscious.

rates in the nation. The victim was an Alaska Native woman, a group that faces the highest sexual assault rate in Alaska at 42 percent. The Associated Press recently reported how Native American women face dis-

proportionate levels of violent crime. The woman, identified in court documents by her initials, L.K., told an Anchorage detective on Aug. 8, 2017, that she was standing outside a gas sta-

tion early in the afternoon, looking for a ride to her boyfriend’s home. Schneider rolled up in an SUV. He pretended he knew her and offered her a ride. Schneider, who worked as an air traffic controller until his arrest, headed toward the airport instead, claiming he needed to pick up items from another vehicle. He stopped on a dead-end street, parked near a car and asked the woman to step out so he could load the truck. That’s when the 6-foot-4 (193-centimeter) man attacked. L.K. awoke to find Schneider standing over her, zipping up his pants. When he drove off, the woman recorded his license plate, called 911 and went to a hospital. The detective who interviewed L.K. described her as so traumatized, she could hardly speak. She later picked out Schneider in a photo lineup. “It’s absolutely appalling that See JUDGE, page A13

What Others Say

With the death of the Beetle, baby boomers say goodbye to an era There has been a terrible death in

The nation’s future is on the ballot It happens several times a game: I’ll announce to the world, “The entire season rests on this pitch (shot/play/whatever).” My friends long ago learned simply to ignore my sarcasm, which makes it difficult when I’m being serious. Such as when I announce, “The fate of the nation might rest on the upcoming election.” For real. Even though Donald Trump is not on the ballot, the midterms will determine if Congress can take a role in restraining his worst impulses. Just about all of his impulses fall into that category, so it should be obvious to those horrified by his presidency that they must install an effective opposition, which is to say a Democratic majority not only in the House of Representatives, but also in the Senate. That can happen only if all those millions of people who claim to be part of a so-called resistance show up at the polling places in massive numbers, turnout that will overwhelm those in Trump’s so-called base who will show up inspired by his message of hate and ignorance, and his constant stream of outright lies. That is a big “if.” It’s always a challenge to Democratic Party leadership to get those on the left to find common ground with those in the middle, particularly when that leadership is nonexistent. Turnout for midterm elections is low anyway, but it will be high for those who are passionately pro-gun and anti-immigrant, meaning the pro-Trump millions. A large portion of the anti-Trump crowd is really

the family for baby boomers: The beloved Volkswagen Beetle. Volkswagen has announced it will quit making the Beetle next year, shutting down production of a car that debuted in 1930s Nazi Germany but became a counterculture icon for America’s hippie generation. At one point, Beetles sold in the hundreds of thousands every year. That was back in the ‘60s and ‘70s, when VW “Bugs” putt-putted down streets everywhere, in powder blue and vivid orange, candy-apple red and taxicab yellow, even a few in white. The rear-mounted engine gave you just a little more horsepower than a lawnmower, or so it seemed. That engine had to heat the car in winter, too, and it did, though often not until you got to where you were going. Some early models had a flower vase, typically mounted on the dashboard as the perfect flower child accessory. Volkswagen offered the vase as a dealer option when it redesigned the Beetle in the 1990s. Best of all, the 10.6 gallon tank could be filled up for less than $10, even during the energy crisis of the 1970s. In 1968 — a turbulent year when Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated and chaos broke out during the 1968 Democratic Convention — the movie “The Love Bug” featured a Beetle racing car named Herbie. Sales peaked at 423,000 Beetles that year. Owners of classic Beetles, take note: Models in mint condition are selling for up to $75,000 now, so hold on to them. Once the Beetle is gone for good, who knows what price wealthy, nostalgic boomers might pay? Volkswagen President and CEO Hinrich J. Woebcken, however, seemed to leave room for a change of Letter to the Editor heart: Could the Beetle, once again, come back? “Never say never,” he said.

for criticizing Seaton

During the recent primaries, the Republican Party maligned Paul Seaton (running as an Independent) for his promotion of vitamin D. Well anyone who has read the report showing why those of us living in the north have a deficiency of vitamin D, can readily understand the health benefits for all age groups. How often have we heard of a legislator doing anything that can positively affect every resident of the state? I would say very rarely or almost never. Paul Seaton’s proposal that everyone consider taking extra vitamin D can reduce illness and, in turn, the cost of health care

AP Politics NEW YORK (AP) — Gone is the shoulder squeezing, the affectionate dandruff-brushing — and French President Emmanuel Macron's hope that he could use his unlikely friendship with Donald Trump to rein in the American president's more incendiary instincts. When the two men met Monday in New York, they shook hands lightly and got down to the tasks at hand. They agreed to disagree on the Iranian nuclear accord and Trump's protectionist policies and one-sided support for Israel, according to two French presidential advisers. The businesslike mood contrasted with Trump's fawning over Macron at a state dinner in April, and Macron's lavish Eiffel Tower welcome for the Trumps last year. Hours after their meeting, the two men

just insipid about most everything, except maybe their anti-Donald feelings. In addition, those who are center and left are afflicted by a sense of fair play. That has never concerned those on the Bob Franken right. The fact of the matter is, in politics, as legendary pro football coach Vince Lombardi said, “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing” By the way, Lombardi actually stole the line, but let’s not lose sight of the point: It’s not how you play the game, it’s who wins. You can’t deliver a knockout in a slugfest if you’re wringing your hands at whatever the other side is doing. And the Trumpsters are always doing something abusive. The Rod Rosenstein crisis is just the latest chaos as they rip apart a democracy that has been a work in progress since the founders first designed it. With all that, Democrats are in for a brawl. Every time they hear someone predict that victory for control of the House is assured, their leaders, whomever they are, should cringe. Such cockiness breeds lethargy, which becomes a feeling that it’s not all that important to stand in line at the polling places. Besides, taking back the House is not enough. The Democrats really need the

for all of us. Since I have been on this regimen, I can say that I personally can’t remember the last time I had an illness that prevented me from completing my daily schedule. Copies of the vitamin D study are freely available from Paul’s office and if you are at all interested in protecting your personal health and that of your family you should read it and act on its advice. The worst that will happen is that you doctor bills will decrease, your lost job time will be reduced and you and your family will feel better. Paul Seaton is on the mark on this one and cheap shots (no pun intended) by the Republican Party are badly missing the mark.

Senate, too, and that’s an uphill battle. Under Mitch McConnell and the Republicans, the United States Senate has merely enabled Donald Trump and pursued conservative goals that favor the wealthy at the expense of everyone else. Besides, it’s only the Senate that can block the federal court system from being taken over by regressive hard-liners. The GOP made a mockery of the Constitution when it shamelessly blocked Merrick Garland from even being considered for the Supreme Court simply because he was nominated by President Barack Obama. They are ruthless when it comes to packing the judiciary. If, perchance, the various charges of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh are enough to send his nomination down in flames, if President Trump and his forces are not successful in dismissing them as a partisan “smear,” the Republicans in Trump’s White House will simply name another reactionary. Only a Democratic Senate can advise and deny consent. Trump is fully aware that a Democratic Congress can make his life a living hell, with its broad subpoena power. His disregard for the institutions and laws that make America what it claims to be can only be combated by a loyal opposition in Congress. Unless those who oppose Trump all get out and vote, they’ll be forfeiting to this vital election to his team and forfeiting the country.

laid out starkly different worldviews in speeches at the U.N. General Assembly. "Nationalism always leads to defeat," said the progressive, multilateralist Macron. "We reject the ideology of globalism and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism," said Trump, trumpeting his America-first, zero-sum vision. Macron later ticked off ways Trump has disappointed him -- from his withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and Iranian nuclear deal to unilateral tariffs on steel and aluminum. Still, Macron said he'll keep working with Trump on a "case by case" basis, and insisted that they're not rivals but pragmatic allies. At their meeting, "Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to closely coordinate to address global challenges," the White House said. Macron specified that meant working together on Syria and

a new U.S. trade deal with Europe — as long as it doesn't involve such things as American GMO products that make European consumers wary. Macron appeared to convince Trump to follow through on promises to visit Paris in November to mark 100 years since the armistice ending World War I, and added a possible battlefield tour to Trump's program. And Trump offered Macron an unexpected compliment, praising him as the new "hardliner" of Europe for his tough stance on Brexit negotiations, according to the French officials. The officials took part in Monday's meeting but were not authorized to be publicly named according to presidential policy. Given Trump's combative, mercurial presidency, the French aides made a point to stress one positive thing about Trump and Macron's latest sit-down session: no new conflicts emerged.

Cosby gets 3 to 10 years for assault By MARYCLAIRE DALE and MICHAEL R. SISAK Associated Press

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — His Hollywood career and goodguy image in ruins, Bill Cosby was led away to prison in handcuffs Tuesday at age 81 for perhaps the rest of his days, sentenced to three to 10 years behind bars for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his gated estate. The punishment made him the first celebrity of the #MeToo era to be sent to prison and all but completed the dizzying, late-in-life fall from grace for the comedian, TV star and breaker of racial barriers. “It is time for justice. Mr. Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The time has come,” Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill said. He quoted from victim Andrea Constand’s statement to the court, in which she said Cosby took her “beautiful, young spirit and crushed it.” Cosby declined the opportunity to speak before the sentence came down, and afterward sat laughing and chatting with his defense team. His wife of 54 years, Camille, was not in court. Constand smiled broadly upon hearing the punishment and was hugged by others in the courtroom.

In a blistering statement, Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt said the comic was subjected to “most racist and sexist trial in the history of the United States.” Among other things, Wyatt said all three of the psychologists who testified against Cosby were “white women who make money off of accusing black men of being sexual predators,” and he accused prosecutors of using a doctored recording of a telephone conversation between Constand’s mother and Cosby. Cosby’s lawyers asked that he be allowed to remain free on bail while he appeals his conviction, but the judge appeared incredulous over the request and ordered him locked up immediately, saying that “he could quite possibly be a danger to the community.” The comedian — who is legally blind and uses a cane — removed his watch, tie and jacket and walked out in a white dress shirt and red suspenders, his hands cuffed in front of him. He must serve the minimum of three years before becoming eligible for parole. “For decades, the defendant has been able to hide his true self and hide his crimes using his fame and fortune. He’s hidden behind a character

created, Dr. Cliff Huxtable,” Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said at a news conference, referring to Cosby’s best-known role. But “now, finally, Bill Cosby has been unmasked, and we have seen the real man as he is headed off to prison.” Constand stood at Steele’s side but shook her head to say she had no comment. Former model Janice Dickinson, who was among the 60 or so women who have come forward to accuse Cosby of drugging and violating them over the past five decades, looked at him in the courtroom and said: “Here’s the last laugh, pal.”

Another accuser in the courtroom, Lili Bernard, said: “There is solace, absolutely. It is his fame and his fortune and his phony philanthropy that has allowed him to get away with impunity. Maybe this will send a message to other powerful perpetrators that they will be caught and punished.” The punishment, which also included a $25,000 fine, came at the end of a two-day hearing at which the judge declared Cosby a “sexually violent predator” — a modern-day scarlet letter that subjects him to monthly counseling for the rest of his life and requires that neighbors and schools be notified of his whereabouts.

Trump challenges UN, boasting of America’s might By JONATHAN LEMIRE and ZEKE MILLER Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — President Donald Trump poured scorn on the “ideology of globalism” and heaped praise on his own administration’s achievements Tuesday in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly that drew headshakes and even mocking laughter from his audience of fellow world leaders. “The U.S. will not tell you how to live and work or worship,” Trump said as he unapologetically promoted his “America First” agenda. “We only ask that you honor our sovereignty in return.” Speaking in triumphal terms, Trump approached his address to the world body as something of an annual report to the world on his country’s progress since his inauguration. He showcased strong economic numbers, declared that the U.S. military is “more powerful than it has ever been before” and crowed that in “less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any admin-

istration in the history of our country.” Just sentences into the president’s remarks, the audience began to chuckle and some leaders broke into outright laughter, suggesting the one-time reality television star’s puffery is as familiar abroad as it is at home. Trump appeared briefly flustered, then smiled and said it was not the reaction he expected “but that’s all right.” The leaders’ spontaneous response to Trump’s address only reinforced the American president’s isolation among allies and foes alike, as his nationalistic policies have created rifts with erstwhile partners and cast doubt in some circles about the reliability of American commitments around the world. Barely an hour before he spoke, in fact, U.N. SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres declared to the assembly that global cooperation is the world’s best hope and “multilateralism is under fire precisely when we need it most.” Since taking office, Trump has removed the U.S. from the Paris climate accord, promoted protectionist tariffs and ques-

tioned the value of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other alliances in furtherance of what he termed on Tuesday a strategy of “principled realism.” To that end, Trump flaunted his embrace of negotiations with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un just a year after he had warned of raining down “total destruction” on a leader he branded “Little Rocket Man.” As Trump praised Kim’s “courage” on Tuesday, he unloaded harsh rhetoric on nuclear-aspi-

rant Iran as a persistent malign influence across the Middle East. “We ask all nations to isolate Iran’s regime as long as its aggression continues,” said Trump. The president has removed the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran, citing the country’s destabilizing actions throughout the region and support for terrorist groups like Hezbollah, and he accused its leaders on Tuesday of sowing “chaos, death and destruction.”

Minnesota Democratic chairman says probe wrapping up By KYLE POTTER Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota’s Democratic Party chairman said Monday that he expects an investigation of allegations of physical abuse against Rep. Keith Ellison to be completed and released soon, well ahead of the November election. A former long-term girlfriend accused Ellison of physical abuse last month, just days ahead of his victory in the crowded Democratic primary for Minnesota attorney general. Karen Monahan said Ellison once dragged her off a bed by her feet while screaming obscenities. She claims to have video footage of the 2016 incident but has refused to release it, saying it’s embarrassing. The longtime Minnesota congressman and Democratic National Committee deputy chairman has called the allegations false and tried to ride out the storm of questions after winning the Aug. 14 primary. But the old sexual assault allegations that have thrown Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination in doubt have renewed focus on Ellison and a six-week old investigation into his conduct that has shown few outward signs of progress. In Minnesota and Washington, Republicans have called Democrats hypocrites for stalling Kavanaugh’s nomination in the Senate while failing to

address Ellison’s situation. Republican Karin Housley, running against Democratic Sen. Tina Smith to complete former Sen. Al Franken’s term, bashed Smith for campaigning with Ellison as she calls for an investigation of Kavanaugh. Minnesota DemocraticFarmer-Labor Party Chairman Ken Martin said he believes the investigation has concluded and that a final report should be issued in the coming days. “I’m starting to get a little frustrated because it’s been a long time now, almost two months,” he said. “I hope soon. I hope any day here.” While the state party’s attorney initially investigated the allegations against Ellison, Martin decided after the August primary to hire an external investigator to ensure “that it wouldn’t be colored by people with associations with the party.” They hired Susan Ellingstad, a partner at a Minneapolis law firm with state party attorney Charlie Nauen. Ellingstad did not immediately respond to a voicemail seeking comment on the status of the investigation. The Democratic National Committee also is waiting on the state party. Chairman Tom Perez directed Martin to lead the review of Ellison’s conduct rather than have the national party conduct a separate investigation. Democrats in Minnesota are concerned that the allegations against Ellison could impact

their chances in November to hold onto an attorney general’s office they’ve held for more than four decades. Public polling shows Ellison in a close race with Republican Doug Wardlow, a little-known former state lawmaker who has turned the allegations into a campaign issue. A recent poll performed for the Star Tribune and Minnesota Public Radio News showed Ellison with just 41 percent of voters’ support— a 5 percentage point edge over Wardlow — while more than 18 percent of respondents were undecided. The poll surveyed 800 likely

voters between Sept. 10 and 12 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Their race has been marked by a slow drip of developments in those allegations. Monahan recently published on Twitter alleged medical records from late 2017, in which she relayed to a doctor emotional and physical abuse from a former partner she identified as Ellison and that she “worried about retribution if she identifies him publicly.” The doctor’s progress report notes Monahan did not previously have physical injuries that required an examination.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 92-year-old woman has been buried in Nebraska with British military honors for a secret that she held for decades: her World War II service as a code breaker of German intelligence communications. The Union Jack was draped over Jean Briggs Watters’ casket during her burial Monday, the Omaha World-Herald reported. Watters died Sept. 15. The tribute honored Watters for her role decoding for a topsecret military program led by British mathematician Alan Turing, who was the subject of the 2014 Oscar-winning film “The Imitation Game .” Watters was among about 10,000 people, mostly women, who participated in the Allied effort to crack German communication codes throughout the war. She operated an electro-mechanical machine , known as a “bombe,” to decipher signals the German armed forces sent out from its sophisticated Enigma encryption machines. The effort at Britain’s famed codebreaking center, Bletchley Park, saved lives and helped bring an end to the war. But it was kept classified until the 1970s. “She never told anyone,” said Watters’ son, Robin Watters. “She was fully aware of the gravity of what she was doing. It was haunting to her, what might happen if she made a mistake.” Jean Briggs Watters was 18 when she enlisted in the Women’s Royal Naval Service. She had attended an art school in Cambridge, England, before joining the Allied war cause. She met her husband, a U.S. Army Air Corps pilot named John Watters, during the war and they married soon after. She and her husband retired to the U.S. in 1969. Watters was placed Monday in a burial plot next to her husband, who died in June at age 101. “She had a seriousness, and a sense of duty,” Robin Watters said. “She was a really special lady. But she was tough. She did the hard things.”

Biker gang’s second-in-command sentenced to 2 life terms SAN ANTONIO — A federal judge sentenced a former leader of the notorious Bandidos biker gang to two consecutive life terms and another 20 years in prison for directing a violent racketeering and drug trafficking enterprise. John Portillo of San Antonio was sentenced Monday. The 59-year-old was the national vice president of the Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Organization. Jurors in May found Portillo and the group’s president, Jeffrey Pike, guilty of directing gang members to commit murder, attempted murder, robbery, assault, intimidation, extortion and drug trafficking. Trial evidence revealed the pair’s role in violent acts against rivals around the biker club’s home turf of Texas. The three-month federal trial also determined that Portillo was involved in trafficking methamphetamine and cocaine under an arrangement with the Texas Mexican Mafia. A federal investigation of the leaders arose from the 2006 killing of Anthony Benesh, who was attempting to start a Texas Chapter of the Hells Angels and had ignored the Bandidos’ warnings to cease recruitment. Evidence during trial revealed that Portillo and Pike ordered members to murder Benesh. Jurors also found that Portillo was involved in the 2002 killing of Robert Lara to avenge for the death of a Bandidos member. Senior U.S. District Judge David Ezra gave Portillo two consecutive life sentences for racketeering murder. Ezra also handed down 10-year sentences on each of Portillo’s two charges of using or discharging a gun in furtherance of racketeering. Portillo was ordered to forfeit his motorcycle, three firearms and more than $17,800 seized from his home during a 2016 search. Pike, who led the organization for more than a decade, is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday. He also faces up to life in prison. — The Associated Press

World

In most global of settings, UN ponders populism By EDITH M. LEDERER and JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS — Warning that the world has a bad case of “trust deficit disorder” and risks “runaway climate change,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged global leaders Tuesday to abandon unilateralism and reinvigorate cooperation as the only way to tackle the challenges and threats of increasingly chaotic times. The U.N. chief painted a grim picture of the state of the world in his opening address to the annual gathering of presidents, prime ministers, monarchs and government officials from the U.N.’s 193 member nations. He pointed to rising polarization and populism, ebbing cooperation, “fragile” trust in international institutions and “outrage” at the inability to end wars in Syria, Yemen and elsewhere. “Democratic principles are under siege,” Guterres said. “The world is more connected, yet societies are becoming more fragmented. Challenges are growing outward, while many people are turning inward. Multilateralism is under fire precisely when we need it most.” In contrast, U.S. President Donald Trump defended an

America-first policy, rejecting “global governance, control and domination.” He said he expects other nations to honor America’s sovereignty in return. “America is governed by Americans,” Trump said in his speech. “We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism.” But French President Emmanuel Macron assailed selfinterest in his address soon after Trump, saying “nationalism always leads to defeat.” He drew loud applause for his impassioned plea against isolationism and for global cooperation. “Friends, I know you may be tired of multilateralism. I also know that the world is flooded with information, and one becomes indifferent. It all starts to look like a big show,” he said. “Please, don’t get used to it, don’t become indifferent. Do not accept the erosion of multilateralism. Don’t accept our history unraveling. I’m not getting used to this, and I’m not turning my head.” In his speech, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani took a dig at Trump over the issue — indirectly, if not by name. “Confronting multilateralism is not a sign of strength; rather it is a symptom of the weakness of intellect — it betrays an inability in under-

standing a complex and interconnected world,” Rouhani said. Iran has been a target of escalating U.S. accusations over its nuclear and missile programs and international terrorist activities. It vehemently denies any nuclear ambitions or involvement in international terrorism. Trump earlier had blasted what he called Iran’s “corrupt dictatorship,” saying he has launched an “economic pressure” campaign against the country. The U.S. withdrew this year from a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers. Rouhani accused the U.S. of trying to overthrow his government, rejecting bilateral

talks after Trump predicted stepped-up U.S. sanctions would get Tehran to negotiate over its nuclear program. Guterres highlighted two challenges that have taken on “surpassing urgency” since last year: climate change and new risks from advances in technology. “Climate change is moving faster than we are,” he warned. “If we do not change course in the next two years, we risk runaway climate change. … Our future is at stake.” Guterres said artificial intelligence, blockchain and biotechnology can potentially “turbocharge progress,” but also pose risks and serious dangers.

Myanmar military led ‘extreme’ violence against Rohingya By MATTHEW PENNINGTON Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A U.S. government investigation has found that Myanmar’s military targeted Rohingya civilians indiscriminately and often with “extreme brutality” in a coordinated campaign to drive the minority Muslims out of the country. The hard-hitting State Department report released Monday is based on a survey this spring of more than 1,000 refugees among the hundreds of thousands who have fled the crackdown to neighboring Bangladesh in the past two years. The 20-page report does not say whether the abuses constitute genocide and crimes against humanity, as U.N. investigators have surmised. But the U.S. findings make grim reading and are likely to reinforce calls for the Trump administration to make that determination and strengthen sanctions against the Southeast Asian nation. Most of those interviewed had witnessed a killing, and half had witnessed sexual violence. Rohingya identified the

military as the perpetrator in 84 percent of the killings or injuries they witnessed. “The survey reveals that the recent violence in northern Rakhine State was extreme, large-scale, widespread, and seemingly geared toward both terrorizing the population and driving out the Rohingya residents,” the report says. “The scope and scale of the military’s operations indicate they were well-planned and coordinated. In some areas, perpetrators used tactics that resulted in mass casualties, for example, locking people in houses to burn them, fencing off entire villages before shooting into the crowd, or sinking boats full of hundreds of fleeing Rohingya.” The bloodshed has catapulted Myanmar, also known as Burma, back into the ranks of renegade nations where it languished for years when it was ruled by a military junta. The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor also announced last week she is launching a preliminary investigation into the deportations of Rohingya from Myanmar into Bangladesh.

Amnesty International USA said the State Department had missed an opportunity to make a legal determination of crimes against humanity, sending a worrying message about Washington’s willingness to seek justice for atrocities just under international law. “The United States’ words mean nothing if it fails to pursue genuine accountability for victims and their families,” advocacy manager Francisco Bencosme said.

British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt hosted a meeting Monday of more than one dozen foreign ministers on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly to discuss the Rohingya crisis. He said in a statement that Myanmar’s military leaders “must face full accountability for any atrocities committed” and that if conditions haven’t improved for the 1 million people affected by the crackdown in Rakhine State in a year’s time, “then we have failed as an international community.”

Iran video threatens missile strikes on UAE, Saudi Arabia By NASSER KARIMI Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — An Iranian media outlet close to the hard-line Revolutionary Guard published a video Tuesday threatening missile attacks on the capitals of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, further raising tensions after a weekend militant attack on an Iranian military parade. The video, in a tweet by the semi-official Fars news agency that was later deleted, comes as Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei blamed Riyadh and Abu Dhabi for the attack in the city of Ahvaz on Saturday, which killed at least 24 people and wounded over 60. Saudi Arabia adamantly rejected the allegations. The threat amplifies the unease felt across the Persian Gulf, as Iran’s economy reels in the wake of America’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal and Saudi and Emirati forces are

bogged down in their war against Iran-aligned rebels in Yemen. Iranian officials on Tuesday identified the five men who carried out the parade attack, which authorities have blamed on Arab separatists. At least two of the men have appeared in a video distributed by the Islamic State group in its own claim of responsibility for the Ahvaz attack. This further complicates the process of determining who exactly was behind the assault. Saudi Arabia, which is locked in a bitter regional rivalry with Iran, on Tuesday rejected the “deplorable false accusations” it was involved in the attack. “Saudi Arabia’s policy is clear regarding its non-interference in the domestic affairs of other countries,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency. “The Iranian regime, in contrast, interferes in the affairs of its neighbors, and is the leading sponsor of terrorism in the region and the world.”

The Fars video showed file footage of previous ballistic missiles launched by the Guard, then a graphic of a sniper rifle scope trained on Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The video also threatened Israel. “The era of the hit-andrun has expired,” Khamenei is heard saying in the video, a clip from an April speech by the supreme leader. “A heavy punishment is underway.” Fars did not say why it took the video down. However, it came just before President Hassan Rouhani was to address the U.N. General Assembly later in the day. Iran has launched two ballistic missile attacks in recent years. In 2017, responding to an Islamic State attack on Tehran, the Guard fired missiles striking IS targets in Syria. Earlier this month, Iran launched a strike on a meeting of Iranian Kurdish separatists in northern Iraq.

The Guard, a paramilitary force answerable only to Khamenei, has sole control over Iran’s ballistic missile program. Under Khamenei’s orders, Iran now limits its ballistic missiles to a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles), which gives Tehran the range to strike Israel, Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, as well as regional American military bases. The Fars video follows a long tradition of martial propaganda films across the Mideast. Last December, a pro-Saudi computer-animated video depicted a scenario in which the kingdom launched its own missiles into Iran and later sent its troops into Tehran to the applause of cheering Iranians. Iran likewise released a video in 2016 showing Iranian forces triumphing over an American naval fleet after they shot down an airliner, a reference to the USS Vincennes downing an Iran Air flight in 1988, which killed all 290 people aboard.

MEXICO CITY — Authorities in southern Mexico disarmed and placed under investigation the entire police force in the once-glittering resort of Acapulco on Tuesday, claiming the local cops were infiltrated by drug gangs. Officials in Guerrero state issued arrest warrants for two top Acapulco police commanders, accusing them of homicide. It was the latest fall from grace for Acapulco, which was a favorite haunt of movie stars in the 1960s but has since fallen victim to warring drug gangs. The state government said it took the step “because of suspicion that the force had probably been infiltrated by criminal groups” and “the complete inaction of the municipal police in fighting the crime wave.” The rest of the police officers were stripped of their guns, radios and bullet-proof vests and taken for background checks. Law enforcement duties in the seaside city of 800,000 will be taken over by soldiers, marines and state police. Last year, Acapulco had a homicide rate of 103 per 100,000 inhabitants, one of the highest in Mexico and the world. Local police in several parts of Mexico have been disbanded because they were corrupted by drug cartels. In Guerrero alone, local police have been disarmed in more than a dozen towns and cities since 2014, though none as large as Acapulco. In the northern state of Tamaulipas, one of the hardest hit by drug violence, almost all local police forces state-wide have been disbanded since 2011. With low pay and little training, local police in Mexico are easy prey for drug cartels, which offer them money if they agree to obey gang leaders, or threaten to kill them if they don’t. In some cities in Guerrero and Veracruz, local police were under cartel control to such an extent they would kidnap people and turn them over to drug gang hit men for interrogation and death.

Bahrain prosecutors charge 169 over alleged militant ring DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Bahrain charged 169 people on Tuesday with being part of a militant group they referred to as the “Bahraini Hezbollah,” the latest mass prosecution in the kingdom amid a yearslong crackdown on all dissent. Prosecutors said in a statement they already have 111 people in custody after a series of raids on the island nation off the coast of Saudi Arabia. Charges against suspects in the case range from attempted murder to damaging property, as well as illegally possessing and hiding weapons. It offered no names for the accused. It wasn’t immediately clear if they had legal counsel. Prosecutors also accused Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard of providing arms and training for the militants. Iran long has denied supporting militants in Bahrain. Iranian state media did not immediately acknowledge Bahrain’s accusation Tuesday. Bahrain’s Interior Ministry separately announced that police arrested 15 people over “Iran-backed” vandalism, without elaborating. The case likely refers to people spraypainting “Down with Hamad” on roadways recently, referring to Bahrain’s King Hamad. In the years since its 2011 Arab Spring protests, Bahrain has rolled back some of the reforms it made. It has dismantled opposition political parties, imprisoned activists and forced others into exile. The kingdom also has revoked the citizenship of over 700 people since 2012, including 115 in a mass terrorism trial in May. Amid the crackdown, local Shiite militant groups have carried out several attacks on security forces. Bahrain is a majority Shiite kingdom ruled by the Sunni Al Khalifa family. The United States previously pushed back against Bahrain on human rights matters, using its influence as the island’s defense guarantor, with over 7,000 U.S. troops attached to a sprawling base in Manama that hosts the Navy’s 5th Fleet. Britain also recently opened a naval base there. President Donald Trump’s administration has approved a multibillion-dollar sale of F-16 fighter jets to Bahrain without the human rights conditions imposed by the State Department under President Barack Obama.

Beluga whale spotted in River Thames outside London LONDON — A beluga whale was spotted in the River Thames outside the British capital on Tuesday, officials said. The unusual sighting happened in the Gravesend area about 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of London. It was reported to be feeding near a number of barges. TV news helicopters filmed the white whale from the air as officials asked the public not to get too close to the animal. The Whale and Dolphin Conservation group said that beluga whales are identified by distinctive white markings and are typically found farther north. “Beluga whales inhabit cold, arctic waters off Greenland, Svalbard and in the Barents Sea,” the group said in a statement . “There have only been around 20 sightings of beluga whales off the U.K. coast previously, but these have occurred off Northumberland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.” The RSPCA animal welfare group said that it’s “working with other agencies to monitor the situation” and sent researchers to the scene. It says it is ready to provide help to the whale if asked to do so by other agencies. The River Thames, one of the longest rivers in England, runs through several major cities and towns, including London, Oxford and Windsor. — The Associated Press

A reflection on the memories of the Hunger Hut Year — 1967 All the men I knew got their jobs going to Hunger Hut and all the bosses knew where to find hungry, anxious workers looking for a job in the oil patch. The bosses walked in and hired them right from the bar. The kids — and there were many — played in the parking lot in the fine volcanic dirt, with make-believe trucks, backhoes, cars. The customers’ cars/pickups were parked in rows behind the “play area” in front of the door of the Hunger Hut. (This is how Kiddies Days were spawned: adults watching kids without toys or bikes playing in the dirt with sticks, rocks and, once in a while, a little plastic toy. This story will follow later.) We always left the Hunger Hut “newsroom” with full tummies because of Elsie’s good meals, and because women in the community brought potluck to share while they garnered information. Their loneliness was pushed to the background while they visited. Many mommas with little children, who were left in trailers for weeks and weeks while the dad worked on the platforms, did not make it through the tough winters the first three or four years. I felt so very sorry for the women from the warm and hot states who had NEVER seen snow, let alone who had never taken care of kids who had to go to school with the required snow boots, heavy coat, hats and gloves. The only source of warm clothes at that time was Army-Navy Store in Kenai. They were a lifesaver for those poor moms and me. My mom sent big, big boxes of warm clothes to me for my kids, and lots more that I gave out to my neighbor moms. Then the other obstacle was learning to drive in the snow with a big pickup that pulled their camp trailers up the Alcan. Oh — the nightmares! It caused uncontrollable crying and frustration from the young women with younger children who had NEVER seen or driven or tried to keep warm in the cold climate of snowy Alaska. I had an old, green, loud, noisy Willis Jeep that was stuck in fourwheel drive. I took as many kids in our trailer park to school, much to great relief of some of the poor haggard warm-weather housewives left to fend for themselves. That winter of 1967 was one that snowed record amounts of wet snow that piled 12feet high in places. Keeping warm in the camp trailers was a definite challenge. Having to shovel your way out the door every morning, and keeping the snow off the roof, was another problem. Once in a while, a man in a snow plow would plow the one-street lane so kids could get to school.

Put away the lobster and try roasting your shrimp next time By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

Lobster is not the only crustacean that benefits from roasting. Shrimp, too, see their sweet flavor concentrating and deepening, but those benefits are only worth it if the quick-cooking flesh stays tender and moist. Aiming for that ideal balance of profound flavor and perfect doneness, we took every precaution against overcooking, starting by brining hefty jumbo shrimp for extra moisture and thorough seasoning. Butterflying the shrimp offered an easy route to flavor-infused flesh, and although we sliced through the shells, we didn’t remove them, as they proved key to boosting flavor while also adding an extra layer of protection. After tossing the shrimp in melted butter and olive oil boosted with garlic, spices, and herbs, we elevated them on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and slid them under the broiler. Within minutes, our shrimp emerged tender and deeply fragrant beneath flavorful, browned shells. Don’t use smaller shrimp with this cooking technique; they will be overseasoned and prone to overcooking.

GARLICKY ROASTED SHRIMP WITH PARSLEY AND ANISE

Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 1 hour 1/4 cup salt 2 pounds shell-on jumbo shrimp (16 to 20 per pound) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 6 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon anise seeds 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley Lemon wedges Dissolve salt in 1 quart cold water in large container. Using kitchen shears or sharp paring knife, cut through shell of shrimp and devein but do not remove shell. Using paring knife, continue to cut shrimp 1/2 inch deep, taking care not to cut in half completely. Submerge shrimp in brine, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Adjust oven rack 4 inches from broiler element and heat broiler.

You can get great meaty, bold chili thanks to a multicooker Great chili should have bold, longsimmered flavor, even if it’s made with convenient ground beef. The multicooker was the perfect way to achieve this with a minimum of hands-on time. A combination of chili powder, cumin, and garlic was all we needed to give the chili great spice flavor. We used crushed tomatoes plus chicken broth for a base with the proper consistency. Browning the beef is standard in many chili recipes, but we found that the browned meat overcooked easily in either the intense heat of the pressure cooker or the prolonged heat of the slow cooker. To avoid this, we mixed it with a panade (a mixture of bread and milk) to help it stay moist, and sauteed the meat just until it lost its pink color. Serve with your favorite chili garnishes.

COOKING ON DEADLINE: One-Pot Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press

Mexican hot chocolate is a beloved beverage made from chocolate (yup, got it) and often cinnamon and another spice or two to bring up the heat. The combination of spicy and chocolate just plain works, and I wanted to see how it would translate into another beloved treat, the good old American brownie. A few things to note: 1) Yes, yes, I get the humor in having the word “pot” and “brownies” in the title. I have another One Pot Fudgy Brownie in The Mom 100 Cookbook, and I’ve had to answer for the word choice more than a few times. Tee hee, very funny, but seriously, they are in fact made in one pot, so cleanup is awesome. 2) The kick from the spices — cayenne and cinnamon — is at first subtle, then more pronounced, and then fades, which means of course that you must go back and have another bite. And another. You could also add a pinch of ancho chili powder instead of the cayenne, or in addition to it if you’re feeling frisky as all get out. Don’t substitute regular chili powder or chili spice blend. These mixes have additional spices in them, like oregano and garlic, and while they might work wonderfully in chili or enchiladas, here they

will confuse things. 3) When you add the eggs to the warm brownie batter, add them one at a time and beat them in quickly. This allows each egg to fully incorporate into the batter, and also ensures that the eggs blend in and don’t scramble while they sit waiting to be mixed in. Now, there’s nothing wrong with a straight-up brownie, but when you experience chocolate that packing heat, that’s a game changer. I first served these to a big group of grownups and kids, and after everyone took one there were four left. One brave woman reached for seconds. The rest of the group looked at each other until I cut the remaining brownies into halves, and then there were none.

ONE-POT MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES Servings: 24 Start to finish: 45 minutes 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate 2 cups sugar 1/4 cup cocoa powder 4 large eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Large pinch cayenne pepper Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, or spray generously with nonstick baking spray. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and unsweetened chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently, until they have melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, then the cocoa powder. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract, and then the flour until completely incorporated. Stir in the salt, cinnamon and cayenne until blended. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the pan comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.

. . . Annie Continued from page A7

Men came home from the platform with money in their pocket and that was the year of the “snowmachine craze.” Everyone had at least one. Coming from Colorado — and from a cold climate for about four months out of the year — I “needed” one of those machines!! Took me two more years, by then I had remarried and BOY!! did we all have fun with snowmachines. Kids with small machines, men with the biggest they could buy, and one for women to just putz around. Well, except for me and a few of my friends! We would get on a lake and become idiots — going as fast as we could and turning around and flying back to the house. It was so much fun. In later years, when we moved to Eagle River, the whole family raced at Big Lake and brought home trophies every week end, especially son David. I was still an idiot on a fast snowmachine! We somehow survived that winter and winters after that. It was always hard to say goodbye to a poor, unhappy, frightened lady with young children, who could not wait until she could get back home to a warm climate and her family. That left the men/dads/ husbands. When they came in off the three-week hitch on the platform they became “orphans” — so most of the women that were here to stay invited them for meals to fill the empty spot in their hardworking lives. A lot of men flew back home on their days off. The kids and I lived in a little silver trailer for the first six months and moved into a big double wide, very nice trailer. I did not know it was built in California until we had a bunch of snow, then it turned off cold at 10 to 20 below for weeks and weeks. The aluminum window frames frosted over. The frame on the door to the outside froze every morning, and I spent 10 minutes every morning chipping off the frost so we could get the door open to go to school and work. I learned to put four or five table knives between the door and the frame so we could get out easier. The kids slept in small bedrooms, with thin walls, and if the beds were pushed up against the outside walls, the blankets froze to the wall. I cranked up the forced-air furnace in the morning while the kids were getting ready for school, and each one huddled over the heater vent to stay warm. AND if you forgot to plug in the heater for the car, well, you just had to wait until it warmed up, about noon!! I only did that once!! Somehow we all survived those cold, cold winters and now all my kids are grown with kids of their own. The days of getting to school are so much different and easier — in my eyes at least. Every day was a challenge. I know some adults of today would disagree with me. Now back to the eggless-milklessbutterless cake. I lost track of my story!! Those were happy, exciting days for me. I was so happy to have that empty gallon jar; finally my kids would have real milk. We all piled into the Willis Jeeps and I made our way to Unkies to get milk. The road as we know it now was a dirt trail, and dirt leaked into every crack and loose door and window in that Jeep. Thanking Unkies for the wonderful gallon of milk, I paid them and off we went to put it in the little refrigerator in the Silver Trailer that I had rented from Helen McGahan — AND that is another story!! The next morning I could hardly wait for the kids to have real milk on their cereal in place of Milkman dry milk that you had to mix up every night and add the cream to it, then place it in the fridge so it was at least cold to drink. I could not stand the stuff. I fixed four bowls of cereal, and poured real cow’s milk over the top, sprinkled with sugar and waited for the “oohs” and “auhhs” and the wonders of real cow’s milk. The kids took on spoon full and looked at me like I had poisoned them. “This tastes-tess awful, Mom! We don’t like this stuff!” I was crushed! In six months they had gotten used to the terrible taste of Milkman! I was dumbfounded! “What DO YOU mean, this is the REAL stuff!” “We don’t care,” they replied. “We don’t like it. Can we have the Milkman on our cereal please?” Oh— I was burning mad! “YOU eat that!!!!” I ordered. They ate their cereal, but they did not like the milk or me! The next morning: “We don’t want cereal for breffast.” Can we have bread (homemade) with cinnamon and sugar please?” I did not have a toaster; they did not care. I fixed myself cereal and poured myself a big glass of real milk; I thought it was so good! I had to drink that whole gallon jug of milk!! That was the last trip to Unkies for real milk! I gave the jug away too! Which brings me back to this recipe that follows; it is attached to a blank recipe card, with Scotch Tape, all yellowed, old and worn out, because I have made tons of this in the past 50 years in Alaska. Thanks to Mom! She baked this for her holiday cookie baking at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Eggless, milkless, butterless cake

Messy-Can Salmon Patties

I have a wonderful recipe that Mom sent to me in 1967 when I first got to Alaska with very little left of the $100 I had in my pocket when I left Colorado with three little kids and three suitcases. I use this recipe when I do not have eggs, am low on milk and am always out of butter. It was clipped from the Denver Post and filled the empty spot of sweettoothed kids (and me!) I had complained in my weekly letter to her that I could not get eggs very often and had to use dried eggs and learn to use dry milk for the kids to drink and use for breakfast. I looked for a source of “real” milk. Unkies had a “real” cow and they were selling milk by the gallon glass jar. I only had coffee cans to cook out of because I did not have the money or the room to ship my pots and pans to Alaska. I looked and looked for a gallon glass jar to put real milk in. Elsie Moore at the Hunger Hut, a local gathering place where you could get a hot meal, get your mail at the little post office in the corner of the bar, or you could get a hair cut in a real barber chair. Of course, you could get your favorite drink too! But most of all it was the local radio station, newspaper and gathering of families to catch up on the local and home town news. No phones or newspaper in those days!! Elsie had a half-empty jar of green olives at the bar and I asked her if I could have it when it was empty. It took three weeks, but I got my empty jar. I bought some of Elsie’s Flauco’s for supper and headed home very happy. When days and weeks were skinny in our household, this was the besttasting breakfast cake, snack after lunch and dessert after dinner I have ever made. My Mom’s old standby, and mine for years.

“Mom, can we have messy-can eggs?” “What in the world is messy-can eggs?” I asked “Oh you know, Mom, those eggs you make with salsa and cheese.” “Oh! You mean Mexican eggs!” “Yeah-that’s what we said.” So anything that says Mexican reminds me of my little kids and their sincere, quiet attitude, staring up at me with heads tipped back, knowing that I WAS the ONE that heard it wrong!! Good-Happy Memories. So this recipe is Salmon Patties with a Mexican twist — thus Messy-Can Salmon Patties 1 pint drained salmon with dark pieces removed — or 2 cups of left over salmon-cooked 1 cup cold mashed potatoes or make 1 cup of instant 1 egg 1 small can of diced green chilies — do not drain ½ cup diced onion 4 or more shakes of hot sauce ½ teaspoon garlic salt 1 teaspoon pepper Mix and form into 6 patties. Fry in vegetable oil until nicely browned. Top each patty with Monterey Jack or other Mexican cheese. Place lid on skillet until cheese melts. Toast hamburger buns. Place patties on buns. Slather with mayonnaise, dill or sweet pickle, slice of tomato, and a big slice of onion. Put bun on top. Serve with jalapeno-flavored chips and a big glass of lemonade, while you are sitting at the picnic table with the kids discussing Messy-can cooking.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 9 x 13-inch pan, set aside. 2 cups raisins 1 cup white sugar or ½ white and ½ brown sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 cups hot water ½ cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon ginger ½ teaspoon allspice Bring all ingredients to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Cool to warm. Stir in: ½ teaspoon soda 3 ½ cups flour ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) Stir until smooth. Pour into oiled pan and bake 45 minutes to an hour. Test with a toothpick. Drizzle with 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 drops of vanilla and hot water. Cut in squares while warm. Or Served cold; it’s just as good!!

The best way to use up zucchini. I love this recipe! 2 cups sliced zucchini ½ cup sliced onion 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 can of stewed, diced or sliced tomatoes 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon butter Salt and pepper to taste. Sautee zucchini and onion in oil and until limp-tender. Add tomatoes, sugar, butter and salt and pepper. Heat through, and serve in a bowl with a dollop of butter floating on top. Crush two saltines and sprinkle over top. Heated hard rolls go with this also. And for dessert peach cobbler.

Sauteed Zuccini

To all hunters Frontier cooking is a theory that the cook should enhance and not destroy the original flavors of the raw food. In our attempts to use certain foods and meats the cook often in her/his attempt to disguise the food very often destroy the delicate flavors of the dish. Such a dish is moose liver and onions. Properly prepared from the first shot to down the animal, the skinning and the care of the organ meats, proper cooling is essential. Since the invention of the plastic bag, moose and other game meat has taken on the “other” flavor” — plastic!! Actually, some meat has been totally destroyed because of the improper cooling and storing of meat in plastic. So if you ever have a chance to shoot a moose, caribou, deer, bear, sheep, goat — for goodness sake — read up on the proper way to cool and transport and store meat. I have prepared some awful wild meat because of plastic. You can smell it the minute you heat it. Case in point is liver. Moose liver has a wonderful delicate flavor if prepared without the help of the plastic bag.

A bright, lively minestrone can be made with a slow cooker Creating anything garden-fresh in a slow cooker is a tall order, but we were willing to try to beat the odds and develop a recipe for a bright, lively tasting minestrone that married a flavorful tomato broth with fresh vegetables, beans, and pasta. The base of our soup would be our broth, and after microwaving the aromatics we added broth and canned tomato sauce along with carrots and dried beans—both of which could sustain a long stay in a slow cooker. Sliced zucchini and chopped chard were simply added during the last 20 minutes of cooking, and the precooked pasta was stirred in at the end. Serve with crusty bread to dip into the broth.

Just Dunkin’: Dunkin’ Donuts to change its name Dunkin’ is dropping the donuts — from its name, anyway. Doughnuts are still on the menu, but the company is renaming itself “Dunkin’” to reflect its increasing emphasis on coffee and other drinks. The 68-year-old chain has toyed with the idea for a while. In 2006, it released a new motto — “America runs on Dunkin’ — that didn’t mention doughnuts. Last fall, it tested the “Dunkin’” logo on a new store in Pasadena, California; it has put the name on a few other stores since then. “By simplifying and modernizing our name, while still paying homage to our heritage, we have an opportunity to create an incredible new energy for Dunkin’,” the company’s chief marketing officer, Tony Weisman, said in a statement. Coffee and sandwiches have become increasingly important to the Canton, Massachuetts-based chain, which has more than 12,500 restaurants globally. In the second quarter of this year, the company noted that overall U.S. store traffic was down, but revenue was up thanks to sales of higher-margin iced coffee drinks and breakfast sandwiches. The name change will officially take place in January, when it will start appearing on napkins, boxes and signs at U.S. stores. The change will eventually be adopted by international stores. The new logo will still have Dunkin’ Donuts’ familiar rounded font and orange-and-pink color scheme, which the company has used since 1973. Dunkin’ says the name change is one of several things it’s doing to stay relevant to younger customers. It’s also simplifying its menu and adding dedicated mobile ordering lanes. But the name change could be a big mistake, says Laura Ries, an Atlanta-based marketing consultant. — The Associated Press

Bulldog spikers sweep Kards on home floor Now a Div. II team, Kenai volleyball learns Nikiski is top dog in tough Southcentral Conference By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The host Nikiski volleyball team showed off its experience and consistency in sweeping Kenai Central 25-15, 25-11 and 25-16 on Tuesday in Southcentral Conference play. The Bulldogs improved to 3-1 in the league and 4-1 overall, while the Kardinals fell to 2-2 in the league and 4-2 overall. At the season-opening Homer Jamboree, the Kardinals took a game off the Bulldogs in pool play. Kenai also took a game off the Bulldogs in losing the championship of the Shayna Pritchard Memorial Tournament in late August. Tuesday, Nikiski didn’t get close to dropping a game. “I think everybody played really well tonight,” Nikiski coach Stacey Segura said. “They were really consistent and that was one of our goals.” Segura said she knew Kenai would do what it takes to get the ball back over the net. So she had the junior varsity play the varsity in practice, with in-

structions for the junior varsity to get the ball over the net at all costs and give the varsity a chance to practice against that. The practice obviously worked, because Nikiski’s steadiness stood out to Kenai coach Tracie Beck. “They’re just so consistent all the way around,” Beck said. “They don’t have a serve-receive or a rotation that is weak.” While Nikiski has three seniors that start and have been through region championship matches and state matches, the Kardinals do not have a senior on the roster. Beck said her team was doing a good job passing, but could not get the ball down against Nikiski’s defense. “Our block was a little off, but we made up for it with our defense,” Segura said. The three seniors for Nikiski played a starring role with Emma Wik collecting seven assists, four kills and two aces, Bethany Carstens getting seven kills and two blocks, and Kelsey Clark finishing with 15 digs and two aces. Also for the Bulldogs, junior

Kaitlyn Johnson had 10 digs, six assists and four aces, junior America Jeffreys had 12 digs and two aces, and junior Kaycee Bostic had five kills and a block. Nikiski was in such command that Segura was able to mix in swingers from junior varsity in the second and third games. She said she had not planned on having that option against Kenai, and doesn’t expect it to happen again anytime in the near future. “This isn’t going to be the same Kenai we play next time or the same Kenai we see at the end of the year,” Segura said. “They’re a young team that’s improving and I’m definitely looking out for them next year.” Beck said her attackers are four sophomores and two juniors, so growing pains are expected. She said the nice thing about matches like this is the knowledge that all these players are gaining valuable experience and will be back next season. “I didn’t have one senior on the floor,” Beck said. “They’re all going to just keep growing.” Sophomore Lexi Reis had

Winston returns By FRED GOODALL AP Sports Writer

TAMPA, Fla. — Jameis Winston is back on the job, though the Tampa Bay Buccaneers still aren’t saying if it’s as the team’s starting quarterback. Winston’s three-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy ended Tuesday, the first day the fourth-year pro was permitted to return to the team’s training facility and have contact with coaches and teammates. It was a day off for players following Monday night’s 30-

27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, however coach Dirk Koetter said the first overall pick from the 2015 draft showed up bright and early, ready to begin preparation for the Chicago Bears. What Koetter declined to say was whether Winston or Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has the Bucs off to a 2-1 start while throwing for more than 400 yards in a league-record three consecutive games will start Sunday. “I know there’s a lot of interest in the quarterback thing. I did talk to both Jameis and Fitz,” Koetter began.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Sept. 26, the 269th day of 2018. There are 96 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 26, 1960, the first-ever debate between presidential nominees took place as Democrat John F. Kennedy and Republican Richard M. Nixon faced off before a national TV audience from Chicago. On this date: In 1777, British troops occupied Philadelphia during the American Revolution. In 1789, Thomas Jefferson was confirmed by the Senate to be the first United States secretary of state; John Jay, the first chief justice; Edmund Randolph, the first attorney general. In 1892, John Philip Sousa and his newly formed band performed publicly for the first time at the Stillman Music Hall in Plainfield, New Jersey. In 1955, following word that President Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack, the New York Stock Exchange saw its worst price decline since 1929. In 1957, the musical play “West Side Story” opened on Broadway. In 1962, Maury Wills of the Los Angeles Dodgers stole his 100th base during a 13-1 victory over the Houston Colt .45s. “The Beverly Hillbillies” premiered on CBS. In 1977, Sir Freddie Laker began his cut-rate “Skytrain” service from London to New York. (The carrier went out of business in 1982.) In 1986, William H. Rehnquist was sworn in as the 16th chief justice of the United States, while Antonin Scalia joined the Supreme Court as its 103rd member. In 1990, the Motion Picture Association of America announced it had created a new rating, NC-17, to replace the X rating. In 1991, four men and four women began a two-year stay inside a sealed-off structure in Oracle, Arizona, called Biosphere 2. (They emerged from Biosphere on this date in 1993.) In 1997, a Garuda Indonesia Airbus A-300 crashed while approaching Medan Airport in north Sumatra, killing all 234 people aboard. In 2003, President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin (POO’-tihn) opened a two-day summit at Camp David. Ten years ago: Hollywood screen legend and philanthropist Paul Newman died in Westport, Conn. at age 83. In their first debate of the presidential campaign, held at the University of Mississippi, Republican John McCain portrayed himself as a battle-tested elder running against a naive rookie, while Democrat Barack Obama suggested McCain was a hothead who’d made the wrong choices on the Iraq war, corporate taxes and more. Swiss pilot Yves Rossy leapt from a plane over Calais, France, and crossed the English Channel on a homemade jet-propelled wing in 13 minutes. Five years ago: It was revealed that some workers at the National Security Agency had misused the government’s secret surveillance systems at least 12 times over the previous decade, including instances where they spied on spouses, boyfriends or girlfriends, according to embarrassing new details disclosed by the agency’s inspector general. The U.S. and its international partners emerged from a U.N. meeting with Iran declaring a “window of opportunity” had opened to peacefully settle their nuclear standoff. Bud Selig announced plans to retire as baseball commissioner in January 2015. One year ago: Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee announced that he would not seek re-election. Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore won the state’s Republican primary for U.S. Senate, defeating incumbent Sen. Luther Strange, who’d been backed by President Donald Trump. (Moore would lose the December special election to Democrat Doug Jones.) Amid criticism that the federal response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico was insufficient, the administration said it was sending a flotilla of ships and thousands more military personnel to the island to address the growing humanitarian crisis there, and President Donald Trump announced that he would visit Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands the following week. Saudi Arabia announced that women would be allowed to drive for the first time, starting in the summer of 2018. Today’s Birthdays: Retired baseball All-Star Bobby Shantz is 93. Actor Philip Bosco is 88. Actor Richard Herd is 86. Country singer David Frizzell is 77. Actor Kent McCord is 76. Television host Anne Robinson is 74. Singer Bryan Ferry is 73.

Thought for Today: “A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.” -- George Santayana, American philosopher (born 1863, died this date in 1952).

. . . Judge Continued from page A1

he walked away free,” said Elizabeth Williams, a social worker and former volunteer rape counselor organizing the effort to oust the judge. She said Judge Corey “makes zero reference to the lifelong impact this had on the victim. It’s like she just disappeared from the story.” A spokeswoman for the court administrator’s office said the judge could not speak about his decision because of judicial ethics rules and that he’s also not speaking about the election. At sentencing, Corey explained why he was about to give Schneider a sentence that was an “outlier,” noting that the sentence leaned far more heavily on Schneider’s rehabilitation than other required considerations. “I think those who learn about what’s transpiring here today would find the result breathtaking,” he said. Corey said the prosecutors who made the terms of the plea deal, including assistant district attorney Andrew Grannik, knew far more about the case than he did and what could be proven. “I think it speaks volumes that an individual such as Mr. Grannik is advocating for the acceptance of what at first blush would really, quite frankly, strike me as way too light of a sentence,” the judge said. Even if Schneider had been convicted of all the original charges, he would not be in prison the rest of his life, Corey said. John Skidmore, Alaska Department of Law criminal division director, said the state would not have been able to prove kidnapping at trial. It requires the victim to be “restrained” or moved against her will. “Additional investigation determined that the victim willingly got into Mr. Schneider’s vehicle and willingly drove with him to the location of the assault,” he said. The prosecutor believed Schneider needed sex offender treatment and the only way to ensure that was by making it part of probation conditions in a plea agreement, he said in a statement. Because the unwanted contact with semen isn’t considered a sex crime in Alaska, Schneider will not have to register as a sex offender. He was convicted of the next most serious charge. With no previous convictions, the sentencing range was zero to two years, Skidmore said. “Though it is understandable that some feel his sentence was not sufficiently harsh, all prosecutors are ethically required to follow the law, no matter how disturbing the facts may be,” Skidmore said. Williams said the judge could have rejected the plea deal. She started a Facebook page to inform voters and said messages have poured in, predominantly from women, especially Alaska Native women who say they’ve seen similar behavior all their lives and they’re sick of it. “This is another example of Alaska letting them down,” Williams said.

Police reports n On Sept. 17 at 8:49 p.m., the Kenai Police Department received a call on their administrative line regarding a male who was in the parking lot of a local business, trying to open car doors and punching windows. After investigation, Noah D. Price, 23, of Soldotna, was arrested for attempted first-degree vehicle theft and second-degree criminal trespass and was taken to Wildwood Pretrial. n On Sept. 16 at 8:18 p.m., Kenai police responded to a local business to a report of a person being detained for theft. Officers arrived and contacted all parties. After investigation, Daniel K. Rankin, 39, of Sterling ,was arrested for third-

degree theft and fifth-degree misconduct involving weapons and was taken to Wildwood Pretrial. n On Sept. 15 at 10:34 a.m., Kenai police officers were attempting to locate a subject who had an outstanding warrant. A short time later, Job Sallison, 34, of Kenai, was located and arrested on a Soldotna Alaska State Troopers $250 misdemeanor warrant for failure to appear for status hearing on the original charge of petition to revoke probation, technical violation, bail cash/APP. n On Sept. 13 at 11:06 p.m., Kenai police received a report of a suspicious vehicle at a house on Togiak Street. Officers responded, and investigation led to the arrest of Aaron, G. Troxell-Tom, 22, of Soldotna, on charges of first-degree

Todd said they are working towards a bike stand initiative to improve bike parking around Kenai and Soldotna. “Most of the areas where you can lock your bike are outdated and don’t meet national standards,” Todd said. “We’re wanting to move away from the old-fashioned bike racks and do something maybe fish themed that can also act as art.” Another project the group is working towards is improving bike lanes, education about biking and signage along community trails. “If you’re not from around here, or don’t know Soldotna very well, it can be intimidating to navigate some of these back roads,” Todd said. BIK&S, AK organizes a monthly group bike ride held every full moon. The next ride will be at 5:15 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 24 at Soldotna Creek Park. Halloween costumes are encouraged.

Man confesses to long-ago affair with best friend’s wife working here, but it is very hard to prove yourself as a woman in a male-dominated industry. There is one other woman in my office, a recently divorced administrator I barely know. She’s very open about her online dating and sex life, and I am at a loss. I feel it’s extremely inappropriate for her to share detailed information with me in the workplace. I’m also afraid the guys will hear her Abigail Van Buren and take me less seriously as a professional and equal. I have tried politely changing the subject, ignoring her or avoiding her, but nothing seems to work. I don’t want to embarrass her by telling her flat out to not discuss her sex life with me, but I’m not sure what else I can do. What would you suggest? -- COVERING MY EARS DEAR COVERING: What the woman is doing can be considered sexual harassment, and in most sizable businesses -- yours appears to be one -- there are policies in place to protect employees. I suggest you tell her that hearing about her sexual escapades makes you un-

comfortable and to please stop. And if she doesn’t, discuss it with either human resources or your employer. DEAR ABBY: My gentleman friend and I are senior citizens who live together. We have acquired a dog and cat. I pay for the cat’s food, vaccinations and litter. He pays for the dog’s food and vaccinations. Last week my boyfriend accidentally slammed the door on the cat’s tail. Part of it had to be amputated, and the bill for surgery, drugs, cone, etc. came close to $400. Neither of us is hurting financially. Who do you think should foot this bill? -- MOTHER OF FUR BABIES DEAR MOTHER: That poor kitty! I not only think your “gentleman” friend should foot the bill, I think he should have VOLUNTEERED to do it. If he didn’t, shame on him. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby. com or P.O.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2018: This year you will be magnetic and draw many people toward you. You often try to avoid someone in your personal life who can be extraordinarily controlling and/or difficult. No matter what your status might be, expect ups and downs. If you are single, your attractiveness might lure in an inordinate number of people. Although the situation could be flattering, relate to the person you want to be with. If you are attached, this year could be especially romantic, as you and your partner learn to understand each other even better. A fellow LIBRA shares insight into others. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You could be wavering over an issue about which you undoubtedly think you are right. You push in various areas of your life. Take care of a problem; do not backpedal -- just resolve it. Continue in this way until you know what to do. Tonight: Full of energy and optimism. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH A difficult person or situation might cause you to wonder. You could be unsure about the best way to handle this matter. If you have questions, go within yourself to find answers. Understand that you can’t always second-guess others. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You naturally zero in on your priorities. Deciding to head in a different direction would be difficult.

Others want to listen to what you are thinking. You need to let a partner know that you can’t continue spending as you have been. Understand your priorities. Be careful with a controlling person. Tonight: Do your thing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Defer to someone who appears to have a greater understanding of what is going on. You might want to jump right over this person’s need for control. If you stay out of the way of others, you will be able to do what you want. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one who has news to share. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH When handling a money issue with a partner, look at the big picture. This person might be so into the here and now that he or she cannot see past the obvious.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might not be in the middle of all the action, yet you still feel the need to detach. The odd thing is that all of the activity could still be around you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Connect, talk and research. You have most of the day to come to a conclusion. A friend could be very difficult and touchy. Be smart.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Without intending to, you could be raining on someone else’s parade. However, if you proceed as you always have, you will find out soon enough who this person is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Reach out to someone at a distance, or be ready to dig in and do a lot of research. This person serves as a mentor for you.

Spinach with some zing! Dear Heloise: I love FRESH SPINACH, but we like to add a few drops of vinegar to it. I serve it individually in some cute bowls I bought in Austria. This way, each of us in the family can put as much or as little vinegar as we want on the cooked spinach. It adds a little “zing” to an otherwise bland vegetable. -- Libby H., Troutdale, Ore. WAR CAKE Dear Heloise: Some time ago, you printed a recipe for War Cake. I made it, and my husband loved it. He asked me to make one for his birthday, so would you please reprint that recipe, since I can’t find the one I had? -- Courtney N. in Indiana Courtney, here it is: War Cake Use a medium- to large-size cooking pot/ pan. Mix together 2 cups brown sugar, 2 cups hot water and 2 teaspoons shortening (or butter). Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup raisins and 1 teaspoon each of salt, cinnamon and cloves. Boil for 5 minutes after the mixture begins to bubble. When the mixture is cold (and it must be cold), add 3 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda that has been dissolved in a couple of teaspoons of hot water. Mix well. Pour into a greased tube pan and bake for about 1 hour at 350 to 375 F.

DEAR ABBY: I found out a month ago that my wife and my best friend had a relationship 40 years ago when we were in our 20s. My friend hinted about it, so I asked him point blank and he confessed. Obviously, if you can’t trust someone, he’s not your friend. My question is, should I ask my wife to tell me what went on or just sweep it under the rug and move forward? Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder what happened to make her stray, or how long the affair went on under my nose. I tried talking to her about it right after I found out, but she started crying, which is one of my weaknesses. I don’t like making folks upset, so I took the blame because I wasn’t a very good husband. We married very young, and I wasn’t ready. So, what do I do? -- HURT AND ANGRY DEAR H AND A: I would love to know your “friend’s” motivation for hinting so broadly that he’d had an affair with your wife that you’d ask him point blank. He seems more a troublemaker than a stalwart friend to me. If you have had a happy 40-year marriage, I think you should let it remain so. OK, so neither of you were angels. “Divorce” the “friend” and let it go. DEAR ABBY: I’m 30, married and the only female analyst in an office with 12 men. I love my job and I enjoy

Shine on Harvest Moon No one can recall a September in Alaska when the first 15 days were all sunny, bright and warm. Yet, while Mother Nature was blasting the Atlantic states with hurricanes and Pacific islands with typhoons, the Kenai Peninsula enjoyed perfect weather in preparation for the first Harvest Moon Local Food Festival held at Soldotna Creek Park Sept. 15. The food fest capped a week of local food events, which included a well-attended Harvest Moon Farm Tour and Wine Tasting on Sept. 8, a Wild Edibles Hike led by Dr. George Spady and Larissa Notter on Sept. 9, Berry Identification Walk led by UAF Cooperative

Extension, and a lecture by Bryce Wrigley founder of AK Flour Co. on Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Path to Food Security. The Harvest Moon Festival drew nearly 2,000 visitors and was the largest farmers market of the year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least three dozen vendors all offered locally grown or value-added products, produce and food trucks, according to Heidi Chay, district manager of the Kenai Soil & Water Conservation district. Additionally, throughout the festival there were demonstrations on cooking and preserving local produce, and speakers shared stories on how they became successful in the local food industry.

Zoi Maroudas, founder and CEO of Bambinos Baby Food, which is made in Alaska from local produce, spoke about why she started her business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I discovered that Alaska is the perfect template for nutritional produce that our baby food has become known for,â&#x20AC;? Maroudas said. Bambinos Baby Food is available at Carrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Safeway or can be shipped anywhere in the Lower 48 by going to bambinosbabyfood.com. Local author and chef Mya Wilson spoke at the festival about her new book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alaska From Scratch,â&#x20AC;? which is filled â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some beautiful and I had the privilege of develwith recipes for locally grown food resources here on the Ke- oping some recipes to highlight harvests. nai Peninsula and in Alaska, See Harvest, page A2

Alaska Christian College opens new dorms Last week, the Alaska Christian College (ACC) held a ribbon cutting that officially opening its new Taikuu residence hall, which adds 34 beds to the facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working the last two years since we broke ground for this amazing addition to our campus,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Keith Hamilton said in an interview with the Dispatch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the miracle work of 585 volunteers who came to Alaska over the last two summers to build this new residence hall debt free,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we are ecstatic to be cutting the ribbon here tonight. What began as a dream and a few sketches is today a beautiful reality,â&#x20AC;? he said. The college aims to provide a transition for students from small Alaskan villages who want to continue their education, but who may struggle in a

(They can) get their academic feet underneath them, become goal oriented, and are (then) ready to transfer over to another college or university,â&#x20AC;? he said. The school also offers a New Hope Counseling Center, which aims to help students with day-to-day struggles. The goal is to give students every shot at a successful higher education, and thus an opportunity to return and be successful citizens in their villages, explained Hamilton.

The college has registered 94 students this fall, Hamilton said. The aim is to increase collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to 100 students. See Dorm, page A2

those and talk about what it’s like to cook and eat with your family as a community here on the Kenai,” said Wilson. The book contains many recipes for local seafood and is available at River City Books or can be ordered on Amazon. Wilson will be the cook at the soon-to-open Addie Camp Dinning Car eatery and wine bar at the top of Whistle Hill in Soldotna. Bryce Wrigley, Delta Junction farmer and founder of Alaska Flour Co., was the Friday keynote speaker and also spoke during the Saturday festival. He addressed the subject of Alaska’s Path to Food Security. “Our path to food sustainability started when we moved to Alaska and were raising bar-

ley for animal feed. In 2005, when Hurricane Katrina hit I heard of people shooting people for food and I thought what would happen if a something like that happened up here? I realized how fragile our food delivery system really is here in Alaska,” he said. In 2011, Wrigley decided to start a flour mill and using UAF barley approved for human consumption. “We switched gears and started milling flour and then launched into a number of other products like couscous cereal and other mixes. … We mill our barley whole grain with all the outer bran on it, which provides a carbohydrate that your body really needs. We now provide a full line of barley products for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert,” explained Wrigley. You can learn more about local food sustainability by visiting alaskaflour.com.

When ACC first opened its doors, it had 22 students — with 18 of them coming from rural Alaska. “We were just a one-year school back then, but every one of them graduated,” Hamilton said.

When it became accredited, the college began offering a twoyear program. “Now we have had 600 alumni walk through our doors since we opened 18 years ago, and we

are very happy with that. And are amazed at the outpouring of love that the community here has shown us. But we don’t want to be the best kept secret on the Kenai Peninsula,” Hamilton said.

He welcomed community members to visit the Christian College and see the school’s expansion for themselves. “This is your college. You have helped to build it.”
