In the news Iditarod champ urges better vetting of Supreme Court nominee ANCHORAGE — One of the world’s most successful professional dog mushers is speaking out against the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Four-time Iditarod champion Jeff King is urging U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski to call for a complete vetting of Kavanaugh. Murkowski is a moderate Republican whose support would likely be needed for Kavanaugh to win confirmation. She hasn’t indicated how she might vote. King spoke Tuesday a rally outside her Anchorage office, saying she shouldn’t bow to President Donald Trump. King says Trump’s actions have “been a palpable kick in the gut” for him, from cozying up to Vladimir Putin to disparaging the late John McCain. King says he wouldn’t expect Trump’s nominee would have any more regard or decency, and he reminded Murkowski: “You’re our senator, not Trump’s.”

Lava flow seen on Mount Veniaminof ANCHORAGE — A lava flow has been spotted on an Alaska volcano that recently became active again. Alaska Volcano Observatory scientists say witnesses aboard the state ferry Tustumena saw the lava flow and fountaining on Mount Veniaminof Monday morning. Scientists say satellite images obtained Sunday shows the lava flow is about onehalf-mile long on the 8,225foot volcano, one of Alaska’s most active. The observatory last week increased the threat level of Veniaminof from yellow to orange. That color designation indicates sudden explosions could send ash above 20,000 feet and threaten international airplanes. The volcano erupted for several months in 2013. Other recent eruptions occurred in 2005 and between 1993 and 1995. Veniaminof is 480 miles southwest of Anchorage on the Alaska Peninsula. Perryville, a town of about 100 people, is 20 miles southeast of the volcano. — Associated Press

A report released this month by the state Department of Public Safety shows the western region had more than 400 felony sex offenses per 100,000 people in 2017, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Monday. The statewide rate was about 200 per 100,000 people. The region includes the Kodiak Island Borough, the Northwest Arctic Borough, Bristol Bay, the Aleutian Islands and other coastal areas. The state compiled the report from data submitted by law enforcement agencies across the state. While the rate of felony sex offenses in western Alaska decreased slightly last year, the region had the highest rates in state for the past three years, according to the report. Across the state, the felony sex offense rate decreased by 4 percent last year, but the number of victims increased by 27 percent.

Remembering the fallen

Teachers, staff bring concerns to school board By MEGAN PACER Homer News

Homer High School’s colors are blue and gold, but the school’s Mariner Theatre was a sea of red Monday night as teachers and staff protested their 19th day on the job without a contract for the 2018-19 school year. Teachers, support staff and family members filed into the theater and queued up behind a microphone to submit comments to the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Board of Education during its annual meeting held in Homer. Most of them dealt with ongoing contract negotiations, and the state of the district’s health insurance plan options. One teacher from Homer Flex School broke down in tears while describing the stress and anxiety high health care costs and financial

uncertainty are adding to her life. Chief among the complaints at Monday’s meeting were complications and frustration with the school district’s health care plans. Heath care was a sticking point in the last round of negotiations, which lasted a year and a half. Now, the district has two plans for employees — a traditional plan and a high-deductible health plan. Many of the teachers and staff making comments to the board spoke of what they saw as repercussions of that two-plan system. Several teachers said they feel they are essentially being forced to opt for the high-deductible plan. Others said they are worried any raise in pay they are set to receive will be canceled out by the increasingly high health care costs, which board members recognized as a growing

problem not only in Alaska but across the country. Anne McCabe is a member of the district’s health care committee and told the board that insurance works better when a large number of people

are all paying into one fund. “There are a few people who use a lot, and a lot of people who use a little,” she said. “That’s the only way it works.” McCabe referenced the creation of the district’s high-de-

ductible plan. She said it was good in one regard in that employees needed another option besides the traditional plan. “But what that did was, it shoved a whole lot of people who don’t use it very much into another plan,” she said. “…It shifted a lot of that over to one side. And now we have a smaller group over here, and the district contributes based on those two plans. So what we did is we created two insurance plans, two separate — not one fund, but now we have a fund for these people and a fund for these people, and I tell you, 100 people can’t be an insurance plan. It’s a problem we need to fix.” When negotiations started up again earlier this year, the Kenai Peninsula Education Association, which represents teachers, and the Kenai PeninSee BOARD, page A14

City of Anchorage apologizes for detaining immigrant By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — A lawsuit was settled by a Peruvian man who alleged police officers in a city north of Anchorage wrongfully detained him over his immigration status after he tried to break up a bar fight, the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska announced Tuesday. In exchange for dropping

his lawsuit against the city of Palmer and members of its police force, Alex Caceda received $50,000, a written apology from the city, and changes to police procedures regarding immigration detainers and warrants. Procedural changes include an acknowledgment “that unauthorized presence in the United States is not a crime” and enforcement is reserved for the U.S. Immigration and

Customs Enforcement agency, according to the ACLU. The lawsuit, which challenged the authority of local law enforcement to make civil immigration arrests, said Caceda was helping provide security at a bar in Palmer in August 2017 when a fight erupted. Caceda, whose full name is Andres Alexander Caceda-Mantilla, tried to help a female bartender who was being attacked, and was as-

saulted by three men, according to the lawsuit. “We’re hoping that this sends a message to all the local law enforcement agencies across the state that they have to respect immigrants’ rights no matter what ICE tells them,” ACLU spokesman Casey Reynolds said of the recent settlement. “They still have to follow the law.” Palmer Police Chief Lance Ketterling declined to com-

ment. Requests for comment from Michael Gatti, an attorney who represents Palmer, were not immediately returned. Under President Donald Trump, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has adopted tougher policies for who is targeted for deportation. In other parts of the country, the ACLU and other groups have challenged See ACLU, page A3

Florence could rival North Carolina’s 1954 ‘benchmark storm’ By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — The last time the midsection of the East Coast stared down a hurricane like this, Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House and Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were newlyweds. Hurricane Florence could inflict the hardest hurricane punch North Carolina has seen in more than 60 years, with rain and wind of more than 130 mph. North Carolina has been hit by only one other Category 4 storm since reliable record keeping began in the 1850s. That was Hurricane Hazel in 1954. Hurricane Hugo made landfall in South Carolina as a Category 4 hurricane in 1989. In comparison, Florida, which is closer to the equator and in line with the part of the Atlantic where hurricanes are born, off the African coast, has had at least five hurricanes in the past century of Category 4 or greater, including Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Hazel’s winds were clocked at 150 mph (240 kph) at the North Carolina coast and kept roaring inland. They were only slightly diminished by the time the storm reached Raleigh, 150 miles inland. Nineteen people died in North Carolina. The storm destroyed an estimated 15,000 buildings. “Hazel stands as a benchmark storm in North Carolina’s history,” said Jay Barnes, author of books on the hurricane histories of both North Carolina and Florida. “We had a tremendous amount of destruction all across the state.” Twelve hours after its landfall, Hazel was in Buffalo, New York, and had ripped through seven states with winds still swirling at 100 mph or more. Few people have experienced the ferocity of a storm like Hazel, which also was blamed for at least 60 deaths in Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York

state. Jerry Helms, 86, was on his honeymoon on a barrier island off the North Carolina coast when Hazel hit on the evening of Oct. 14, 1954. He and his new bride had been to a roller skating rink and missed the evacuation warnings from police officers who went door to door. Hazel obliterated all but five of 357 buildings in the beach community now known as Oak Island. The Helmses barely survived. As the storm crashed ashore, they abandoned their mobile home for a two-story frame house. Before long, it was collapsing under the waves and “the house was falling in, and all the furniture was falling out through the floor,” Helms recalled Monday. He thought the roof of a neighboring cinderblock house might be safer, but soon a big

wave went over that house. When the wave went out, the house was gone, Helms said. “There was another house — a wooden house that was coming down the road more or less — and it had some guy in that thing and he’s hollering for help,” he said. Helms pushed a mattress through the top-floor window, and they hung on as it bobbed in the raging water. What lessons is he applying now that a similarly powerful hurricane is coming? “I didn’t feel like it was going to be bad enough to leave,” Helms said. “I don’t know. I just felt better about staying here than I did leaving.” He doesn’t have a safer destination in mind and, having recently broken ribs in a fall, Helms fears getting stuck as thousands abandon the coast. Meanwhile, Aida Havel and

her husband, John, made preparations Monday to evacuate their home in the Outer Banks village of Salvo, where they’ve lived for about a year. They are heading about 200 miles inland to their former hometown of Raleigh, where Hurricane Fran hit in 1996. Fran took a similar inland path to what forecasters predict for Florence. “I had a tree that smashed my car down in my driveway,” Aida Havel said. “Even though that was 22 years ago, I have never gotten over it.” The throngs of vehicles heading inland demonstrate the big difference between Hazel’s impact and the damage Florence could cause, Barnes said. “Today, we have thousands and thousands of permanent residents on our barrier beaches,” he said. “It’s a totally different scenario with regard to human impact.”

Sandra Lynelle Mahan Hamlin

Salmon forum Thursday

Sandra Lynelle Mahan Hamlin passed away peacefully among close friends on July 9, 2018. Sandra was born July 11, 1972 in Soldotna, Alaska to Daniel and Sammie Lynelle Mahan. She graduated from Soldotna High School in 1990 after working summers as a commercial fisherwoman. To her friends, Sandra was known as a strong idealist, always in search of the good in every situation. She was a dental assistant, a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) and an entrepreneur before starting her family. Sandra and her family moved from Alaska to Roberts Creek, British Columbia in 2010. Sandra was a true Alaskan girl and embraced the beauty and community of Roberts Creek with grace and passion. She was known in the yoga community as a humbled and dedicated seeker; deepening her spiritual awakening by courageously responding to what life brought to her. Some knew her by the name White Sage Woman; a woman who walked through fire. Sandra was always supportive to those around her during their times of need, and her sincere generosity and caring friendship will be deeply missed. Sandra was preceded in death by her father, Daniel Mahan. She is survived by her mother Sammie Lynelle Mahan; her daughter, Kiana Hamlin; son, Kayden Hamlin; and their father Jared Clayton Hamlin; her brother Patrick Mahan; and the many members of the entire Mahan and Hamlin families.

local agencies that cooperate with federal immigration authorities in ways they deem inappropriate. According to the Alaska lawsuit, when police arrived at the bar, the three men involved in the fight were handcuffed, and Officer Kristi Muilenburg questioned Caceda and the bartender. Muilenburg, who was named in the lawsuit, asked Caceda if he was from Alaska and if he had an Alaska driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. She asked a dispatcher to contact federal immigration officials after Caceda said he was from Peru and produced his passport as ID.

According to the ACLUAlaska, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency suggested detaining Caceda. A video released by the ACLU shows arrest footage where Muilenburg tells Caceda she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a choice in the arrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the federal government thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wanting you arrested. Not me,â&#x20AC;? the officer says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like a criminal?â&#x20AC;? he asks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yep,â&#x20AC;? the officer says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a criminal in the United States right now.â&#x20AC;? Caceda is married to a U.S. citizen, but he â&#x20AC;&#x153;did not have legal immigration status at the time of this incident,â&#x20AC;? according to the lawsuit. He was held two nights in local custody and two nights in ICE custody before he was

released, according to Reynolds. He said he was released after ICE reviewed his file and his eligibility. An email and phone message sent to ICE representatives were not immediately returned. He needed eight stitches after suffering injuries to his head and face. Caceda has followed through on his promise to federal officials that he would apply for a visa sponsored by his wife that would make him eligible to seek status as a permanent resident, Reynolds said. The men who struck Caceda were not prosecuted, according to the lawsuit.

What Others Say

Nike campaign shows Kaepernick’s message resonates If President Donald Trump hadn’t

bragged at a campaign rally in Alabama that if he were an NFL owner, he would fire any “son of a bitch” who knelt during the national anthem, would Colin Kaepernick be a face of Nike’s Just Do It campaign? Would a black-and-white image of Mr. Kaepernick’s face with the words, “Believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything” be ricocheting around the internet today if an NFL team, any NFL team, would have so much as signed him as a backup quarterback? Would players still be following his example to kneel or even raise their fists during the national anthem if his efforts to bring attention to racial injustice had been taken at face value and not as an affront to the flag, military and country? All those posting images of burned or defaced Nikes since word spread of Mr. Kaepernick’s new Nike campaign over the weekend should consider this: It is they who transformed him from a quarterback whose career had been middling since taking his team to (and losing in) the Super Bowl into an icon, someone whose cultural power far transcends sport. Nike isn’t so much thrusting him back into the spotlight as it is recognizing that he’s already there — and capable of selling shoes. Mr. Kaepernick’s jersey leaped to the top of sales lists after the anthem protests started in 2016 and stayed in the top 50 last year despite the fact that he wasn’t on an NFL roster. Nike’s stock may have dipped slightly in early trading after the announcement, but here’s betting that the sports equipment giant did some marketing research before signing what is reportedly a multi-year, multi-million-dollar deal with an athlete who is suing his former league and may never play again. Whatever buzz Under Armour may have gotten from its unconventional and statement-making ad choices in the past (like the exceptional Misty Copeland campaign of four years ago) pales next to this. Why does Mr. Kaepernick still resonate? Part of it is certainly the fact that he has, as the ad suggests, genuinely sacrificed a great deal in the name of principle. That’s always an intriguing narrative, and particularly so in the Age of Trump. Last week’s tributes to the late Sen. John McCain traded heavily on that notion. But there’s also the simple fact that Mr. Kaepernick’s message about protesting racial injustice has only become more relevant since its origins at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement. Then, the nation’s first African American president was (however imperfectly) seeking to achieve the kind of racial reconciliation many assumed had already arrived with his election. Now, we have a president who posits moral equivalence between white supremacists and those who protest them, emboldening those who would exacerbate and exploit racial division. News about the Kaepernick ad came on the same weekend that the Tallahassee Democrat reported on robocalls linked to a white supremacist group in which a man speaking in a racist exaggeration of a minstrel performer’s dialect pretends to be the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, Andrew Gillium, who is African American. The recording, which includes a backdrop of jungle sounds, makes reference to his Republican opponent’s statement a few days before that Florida voters shouldn’t “monkey this up” by voting for Mr. Gillium. Colin Kaepernick still matters because his message still does. NFL owners couldn’t make him go away by keeping him off a team (whether through outright collusion, as his lawsuit alleges, or a more informal groupthink), and they couldn’t stop the protests that stemmed from his activism through ham-fisted attempts at compromise with the players. President Trump raised the stakes too high for that. Nike, who has had Mr. Kaepernick under contract since 2011, is doing nothing more than taking advantage of the opportunity the president and his allies so cynically created. — The Baltimore Sun, Sept. 4

Trump’s lies and the bitter truth

We’ve all heard the description about the stages of deception, attributed separately to Mark Twain and Benjamin Disraeli: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.” Similarly, I think there are three kinds of politicians: liars, damned liars and contemptible liars. And Donald Trump. Yes, I know that’s four categories; I lied. Somewhere between two and three, I’d put Supreme Court nominees who claim that our courts are not hopelessly entangled with politics. He’s hardly unique, but the latest example is Brett Kavanaugh, involved in the brawl called “advise and consent” (another fraud) going on in the Senate Judiciary Committee. He offers nonstop phony platitudes like: “I don’t decide cases based on personal or policy preferences. I am not a pro-plaintiff or pro-defendant judge. I am not a proprosecution or pro-defense judge. I am a pro-law judge.” That would be similar to John Roberts’ description of his approach to deciding cases when he described himself as “an umpire” and managed to slip-slide through the Senate and be confirmed as chief justice. So I was particularly intrigued by the weekend op-ed in The Washington Post by Jim Evans, who argued that umpires “have never been robots who simply call balls and strikes. Judges and analysts who describe an umpire’s job in those terms are oversimplifying.” It probably should

be noted that Evans was a major league baseball umpire for 28 years. Unlike The New York Times, The Post even identified him. Getting back on point, and not to get too tangled in legalBob Franken ese, it’s phony-baloney. Both Roberts and Kavanaugh are partisans, as is every member of the Supremes. They are nominated by presidents who are Democrats or Republicans and who expect them to be reliably conservative or liberal. The days of surprises, like Earl Warren or David Souter, are long gone. Brett Kavanaugh was chosen by the Trumpster because he will be expected to rule in ways pleasing to Donald Trump. All the justices are mostly predictable. Clearly President Trump chose Kavanaugh because of his track record on executive power. He’s given strong indications that POTUS should be walled off from investigations like the Bob Mueller one because he’s just so darned busy. Never mind that Kavanaugh played a major official role in checking into every transgression of President Bill Clinton, including his sexual ones. And never mind that Trump finds all the time he needs for inane and hateful tweets, but he’s too busy for trifles like criminal and civil investigations.

Speaking of Trump (how can one ignore him?), you’ll recall that when it comes to lying, Donald Trump is in a class by himself. But what’s even worse than his agony of deceit is when he slips momentarily into truth about his obvious desire to become the American Autocrat. Once again, he displayed his belief that law-enforcement agencies like the Justice Department and the FBI should be nothing more than his militias, ready to impose his every dictate. His relentless badgering of Attorney General Jeff Sessions is Exhibit A. Sessions is a right-wing extremist himself, but not loyal enough. The most recent evidence was Trump’s condemnation of the federal corruption indictments returned against two of his most fervid congressional supporters. “Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff.” In other words, Sessions and his federal agents upset the Trump Republican apple cart by having the audacity to apply the law. In an interview with The Daily Caller, he bristled at protestors after they loudly disrupted the first day of the Kavanaugh hearing, inferring such demonstrations should be illegal: “I think it’s embarrassing for the country to allow protesters.” “Allow protesters”? The president of the United States finds constitutional constraints of a democracy unacceptable. As opposed to Chief Justice Roberts’ “umpire” pretense, Trump wants to be emperor. And that is no lie.

Letters to the Editor

persons with little knowledge of the Alaska political system are deplorable. They are designed for the ulterior motive of diminishing the influence of the Republican party in the legislature so the door to full PFD seizure, high taxes and rampant liberal crime bills can be opened. Political discourse is good, questioning candidates is good, but do it yourself, don’t rely on those who would like to lead lemmings off the cliff for their own political cause. Do what I did, take the Senator up on his offer: Call him. I did just that and guess what? He took the call. It was refreshing. No bragging, just facts. No rumors but, first-hand direct response to questions. Too many are using the “I heard,” “Someone said.” Try listening to the senator’s own words. Sen. Micciche is stuck between two pieces of moldy bread and needs the help of all Alaskans to make them toast and bring the House and governor’s office back to Alaska. Senior citizens especially need the leadership Sen. Micciche. The governor and house members like Paul Seaton are constantly trying to use senior citizens as the scapegoat for the state budget shortfalls. Raising taxes on Seniors, reducing the budgets for state Senior agencies and changing the needs requirement for senior programs to eliminate needy seniors from the rolls are their methods. Sen. Micciche is committed to standing in front of Seniors as a champion for seniors statewide. We cannot surrender that type of leadership to a group that has tax, seize and tax as its mantra. I encourage you to listen carefully and return Sen. Micciche to the Senate leadership with PFD, anti-crime, economic growth

Republican legislators, in the House and governor’s office. Even if you cannot vote for the senator, drop him a note of support.

A senior’s perspective on Sen. Peter Micciche As a senior and senior citizen advocate, I pay attention to political races in areas other than my local District 31. The representation by Sen. Peter Micciche is of particular importance to Senate District O, senior citizens and all Alaskans. Sen. Peter Micciche is the Republican leader of the senate majority. This position is sandwiched between a governor who detests the concept of a PFD, let alone paying the dividend to residents and an out-of-control, rogue house with turncoat Republicans, that is determined to take the full PFD, create new taxes, attack senior citizens and spend without consideration for the impact on the state budget. Sen. Micciche has had to use every legislative skill and option at his disposal to keep the PFD program intact, prevent total justice system chaos by refusing to allow the total watering down of bills like SB91 and restraining the house and governor from ruining the state beyond redemption. He has fought to maintain a balance to keep Alaskans hopeful until this election cycle, where we have the ability to take back control of the house, senate and governor’s office. The Senate Majority leader will then have the political presence and legislative might to restore the PFD, redo the weak on crime SB91, actually reduce the state budget and put Alaska back on the path to economic recovery. The abhorrent personal attacks on the senator by the opposition party, trolls and

In support of current assembly member Willy Dunne The election for the KPB District 9-South Peninsula Assembly seat will be Tuesday, October 2. I am supporting current assembly member Willy Dunne and I urge voters to do the same. Willy has voted for issues that are important to me including full funding for schools and balancing the KPB budget. Willy is a passionate outdoors enthusiast. His work on community trails projects includes Resolutions promoting Kachemak Nordic Ski Club, Tsalteshi Trails, Snomads and the Homer Outdoor Wilderness Leaders. While other members of the assembly attempted to reduce the boundaries of the South Peninsula Hospital Services Area, Willy worked on compromise legislation to allow voters an opportunity to modify the boundaries without negatively impacting hospital finances. He works tirelessly to represent his constituents and I have on numerous occasions contacted him with concerns regarding road service and safety issues and strengthening fish habitat rules. Willy is a 31-year resident of the borough and understands the importance of protecting and enhancing the quality of life on the South Peninsula. Please vote for Willy Dunne. — Patricia Cue, Homer

Fate of $120 million set aside for Moonves in doubt By DAVID BAUDER AP Media Writer

NEW YORK — CBS revealed Monday that it set aside $120 million in severance for ousted chief executive Leslie Moonves. But whether he sees a penny of it is one of the tough and potentially incendiary decisions the network faces after his resignation over sexual misconduct accusations. Despite Moonves’ announced exit Sunday, outside lawyers hired by CBS continue to investigate allegations against him and Jeff Fager, the top executive at “60 Minutes.” In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, CBS said it will release the severance money if the investigation finds there was no cause for him to be fired. Any payment to Moonves is likely to anger the #MeToo movement that has brought down other powerful men in Hollywood and the media, including Hollywood studio boss Harvey Weinstein, NBC’s Matt Lauer and CBS’ Charlie Rose. Meanwhile, Moonves’ wife,

Julie Chen, did not appear Monday on the season-opening episode of her daytime show, “The Talk,” and co-host Sharon Osbourne said on the air that “everyone here at CBS is nervous about their jobs.” CBS’ stock price slid. As head of television’s most popular network, Moonves was among the most powerful and richest executives in the TV industry, making a total of nearly $140 million over the last two years. His exit was announced hours after The New Yorker posted a detailed story alleging misconduct. In two stories posted this summer, a total of 12 women have said they were mistreated by the TV mogul, including forced oral sex, groping and retaliation if they resisted. Moonves has denied the charges, though he said he had consensual relations with some of the women. The network’s chief operating officer, Joseph Ianniello, is taking over as president and CEO until a reshaped board of directors can find a permanent replacement, CBS said. David Nevins, chief executive at

CBS’ Showtime network, was said to be a leading candidate. Some of the allegations predate Moonves’ working at CBS, which he joined as entertainment president in 1995. A determination on whether there was cause for his firing will focus on whether he violated any company policies while at CBS, said Dan Eaton, an employment lawyer and expert on severance issues as a professor at San Diego State University.

“If it turns that their reporting comes back with inconclusive findings on Mr. Moonves’ conduct, then a negotiated resolution is highly probable,” Eaton said. CBS Corp. stock ended the day down 85 cents, or less than 2 percent, after rebounding in the afternoon. The stock has fallen more than 8 percent this year, with its biggest drop when the first round of accusations against Moonves surfaced.

AP Poll: Voters open to non-religious candidates By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Religion’s role in politics and public policy is in the spotlight heading toward the midterm elections, yet relatively few Americans consider it crucial that a candidate be devoutly religious or share their religious beliefs, according to a poll released Tuesday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Just 25 percent of Americans say it’s very or extremely important that a candidate has strong religious beliefs, according to the poll. Only 19 percent consider it very or extremely important that a candidate shares their own beliefs, and nearly half say that’s not very important or not important at all. Still, most Americans see a role for religion in shaping public policy. A solid majority of Americans, 57 percent, want the influence of religion on government policy to extend beyond traditional culture war issues and into policies addressing poverty. Americans are more likely to say religion should have at least some influence on poverty than on abortion (45 percent) or LGBT is-

sues (34 percent). There is little public support for the campaign by some conservative religious leaders, backed by President Donald Trump, to allow clergy and religious organizations to endorse political candidates while retaining their tax exempt status. Such a change is opposed by 53 percent of Americans and supported by 13 percent. The rest expressed no opinion. Trump’s stance on political endorsements by clergy is one of many reasons he has retained strong support among white evangelical Christians, despite aspects of his behavior and personal life that don’t neatly align with Christian values. The APNORC poll found that 7 in 10 white evangelical Protestants say they approve of Trump, a Republican. The importance of a candidate’s religious faith varied across religious and political groups. Among white evangelical Protestants, 51 percent consider it very or extremely important that a candidate has strong religious beliefs. An additional 25 percent think it’s moderately important. Far fewer Catholics and white mainline Protestants considered this important.

Roughly two-thirds of Republicans said it’s at least moderately important that a candidate has strong religious beliefs, compared with 37 percent of Democrats. Jack Kane, an accountant from Key West, Florida, was among the Republican-leaning poll participants who said it wasn’t important to him whether a candidate was deeply religious. “I’d much rather have a guy run the government and not spend all our money, instead of sounding off on what’s going on in the church or on things like abortion,” said Kane, 65,

who describes himself as nonreligious. “Who is Catholic, Jewish, Southern Baptist — I could care less, as long as they’re going to carry the torch of freedom.” Kent Jaquette, a Republicanturned-independent and a former United Methodist pastor who lives near San Antonio, said he does not base his choice of candidates on their religious faith. “In politics, you need to look at a person where their morals are, where their values are,” he said. “It may or may not have anything to do with their religion.”

Agency seeks anti-lock brakes on all new US road motorcycles By TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer

DETROIT — A federal safety agency is recommending that all new motorcycles built for road use in the U.S. have anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control as standard equipment. The National Transportation Safety Board voted 5-0 on Tuesday to make the recommendations to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has authority to impose regulations. NHTSA did not immediately comment. During a public hearing Tuesday, the NTSB said that while the technology is required on passenger cars, it has lagged for motorcycles and requiring it would save lives. The agency said 5,286 motorcyclists were killed on U.S. roads in 2016, the last year for which statistics are available. “Riders need more time to react. They need motorcycles that perform better in a potential emergency,” NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt said af-

ter the recommendations were approved. Sumwalt said the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety determined that anti-lock brakes could reduce motorcycle fatalities by 31 percent. “That is a sizeable safety benefit that the U.S. is leaving on the table, leaving on the pavement, actually,” he said. Anti-lock brakes have been required in U.S. passenger cars since 2000, while electronic stability control has been required since the 2012 model year. Anti-lock brakes pump many times per second to stop wheels from locking up and skidding. Electronic stability control is more advanced, applying brakes and power to the wheels to keep a vehicle stable, especially when on a curve. The board decided that electronic stability control should be studied and performance standards adopted before the technology is made standard on motorcycles. Eric Emery, the NTSB’s Safety Research Division chief, said anti-lock brakes would allow riders to use

maximum braking force without fear of the wheels locking up and skidding, improving the chances of keeping control of bikes in an emergency. A locked wheel on a motorcycle “typically could result in a slide or some other loss of control that could lead to dangerous or even fatal consequences,” he told the board.

Last year, anti-lock brakes were standard on 8.9 percent of U.S. motorcycles and were optional on 13.3 percent, he said. Motorcyclists have the highest risk of death of all types of motor vehicles. They represent fewer than 1 percent of miles traveled by all vehicles but accounted for 14 percent of all traffic fatalities, according to the NTSB.

Around the Nation EAST LANSING, Mich. — A woman has filed a lawsuit against Michigan State University, saying she became pregnant after she was drugged and raped by Larry Nassar when he was a medical student in 1992 but that campus police refused to investigate. The lawsuit was among dozens filed to meet a Monday deadline for legal claims against Michigan State, although the complaint might be too old to qualify for a share of $75 million set aside by the university for victims who aren’t part of a larger $425 million settlement. Nassar, 55, became a sports doctor at MSU and for elite U.S. gymnasts but now is in prison for child pornography crimes and molesting female athletes with his hands. The woman said she had a knee injury as a 17-year-old field hockey player and was encouraged to go to Nassar in 1992 because he was conducting a study about flexibility through the College of Osteopathic Medicine. The lawsuit alleges that Nassar drugged her, raped her and videotaped the assault. She said she became pregnant and had a miscarriage. George Perles, who was athletic director until spring 1992, was aware of the assault and covered it up, and campus police wouldn’t pursue it, according to the lawsuit. Perles also was football coach at the time and now is a member of the school’s governing board. A message seeking comment was left for him. “While the protocols and procedures mentioned in this lawsuit do not reflect how sexual assault claims are handled at MSU, we are taking the allegations very seriously and looking into the situation,” Michigan State spokeswoman Emily Guerrant said Tuesday.

Suspect held, no injuries after LA-area hospital lockdown DOWNEY, Calif. — A suspect was detained Tuesday after reports of a possible active shooter at a hospital near Los Angeles. But authorities said there were no injuries, and it wasn’t immediately clear if there was a shooting. Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies and Downey police officers were methodically searching a medical office building at the sprawling Kaiser Permanente Downey Medical Center. One person was in custody, and there were no injuries, law enforcement officials said. TV news helicopters showed people calmly walking out of the facility and numerous police vehicles around it. Employee Edwin Olvera told The Associated Press his office was locked down, and he had “honestly never been more afraid.” “I heard no shots. I heard that there was someone with a weapon at our office,” Olvera said. Kaiser did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Olvera said he also heard that someone might have been robbed outside his office. Downey is a city of about 110,000 people just southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

Male postal workers say they were groped by uniform tailor LIVONIA, Mich. — A suburban Detroit uniform shop is being sued by a dozen male Postal Service employees who say they were groped by a tailor. The lawsuit was filed Monday in Wayne County court. It comes months after misdemeanor charges were filed against Majed Wazni. He’s accused of grabbing the genitals of postal workers while the men were having their uniforms fitted at Allie Brothers, a shop in Livonia. The lawsuit accuses the business of negligence and assault and battery. The shop’s attorney, Tony Garczynski, declined to comment Tuesday. A lawyer for the postal workers, Jonathan Marko, says the men were humiliated. Wazni’s criminal case has been on hold while a judge awaits the results of a mental competency exam. He has pleaded not guilty.

Bald eagle lands on fire truck during Sept. 11 tribute COON RAPIDS, Minn. — A bald eagle has visited a Minnesota tribute marking the 17th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The national bird landed Tuesday on top of a firefighters’ aerial truck parked on a highway overpass in the northern Minneapolis suburb of Coon Rapids. Members of the Andover Fire Department were gathered to pay tribute to the nearly 3,000 people who died in the attacks and to the 9/11 emergency responders. The Fire Department posted video of the eagle’s landing on its Facebook page. After perching on the basket at the top of the truck, the eagle flew off. The Star Tribune reports that the unscripted event happened after several firefighters had set up department vehicles on the overpass, posted U.S. flags and draped a banner over the railing reading, “We will never forget.” —The Associated Press

Russia launches biggest ever war games By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV and SERGEI GRITS Associated Press

CHITA, Russia — Hundreds of thousands Russian troops swept across Siberia on Tuesday in the nation’s largest ever war games also joined by China — a powerful show of burgeoning military ties between Moscow and Beijing amid their tensions with the U.S. Moscow said the weeklong Vostok (East) 2018 maneuvers will span vast expanses of Siberia and the Far East, the Arctic and the Pacific Oceans and involve nearly 300,000 Russian troops — nearly one-third of the country’s 1-million-strong military. They will feature more than 1,000 aircraft, about 36,000 tanks and other military vehicles and 80 warships. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has described the drills as even bigger than the country’s largest Cold War-era exercise called Zapad 1981 that put NATO allies on edge. A retired Russian general said that the giant war games come as a warning to the U.S. against ramping up pressure on Russia.

“The maneuvers are aimed at deterring the aggressive intentions of the U.S. and NATO,” Ret. Gen. Leonid Ivashov said. He was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying that the drills are “also a response to the U.S. sanctions.” China is sending about 3,200 troops, 900 combat vehicles and 30 aircraft to join the drills at a Siberian firing range, a significant deployment that reflects its shift toward a fullfledged military alliance with Russia. Mongolia also has sent a military contingent. Asked if the U.S. is worried about a possible military alliance between Russia and China, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told Pentagon reporters Tuesday that, “I think that nations act out of their interests. I see little in the long term that aligns Russia and China.” As the maneuvers kicked off, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Russia on Tuesday to attend an economic forum in Vladivostok. President Vladimir Putin treated Xi to pancakes with caviar and shots of vodka in a show of their warm rapport.

Moscow and Beijing have forged what they described as a “strategic partnership,” expressing their shared opposition to the “unipolar” world, the term they use to describe perceived U.S. global domination. However, the military drills they had until now were far smaller in scale, reflecting China’s caution about alliances. Some experts pointed out that the U.S. helped spawn closer Russia-China military ties by labeling them strategic competitors.

“They feel they need to embrace to deal with the increasingly high pressure and containment from the U.S.,” said Yue Gang, a military expert and retired Chinese army colonel. He noted that China feels that the Washington’s hostile attitude and actions, such as deploying the THAAD missile defense system in South Korea, relieve it of any need to take U.S. views into consideration when deepening strategic trust with Moscow.

Brazil race begins with da Silva off party ticket By MAURICIO SAVARESE and PETER PRENGAMAN Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil’s Workers’ Party on Tuesday replaced jailed former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as its candidate for October’s general election, clarifying one of the biggest question marks hanging over the vote to lead Latin America’s largest nation. The party confirmed the move after a meeting of its executive committee in the southern city of Curitiba, where da Silva is jailed. Fernando Haddad, a former Sao Paulo mayor, will lead the ticket and be joined by Manuela D’Avila, a member of Brazil’s Communist Party. The move, while long expected, was an acknowledgement that the party could not get da Silva, who Brazilians universally call Lula, on the ballot despite numerous attempts in the courts. “The struggle has just begun. Let’s go, Haddad! Haddad is Lula!” the Workers’ Party Twitter account said. “He was a Lula minister, he is a Lula attorney and best of all: he is a friend of Lula’s.”

The political science professor turned education minister and later politician met with da Silva Tuesday after the decision, then delivered his first speech as the candidate in front of hundreds of supporters in front the federal police building where da Silva is jailed. “I feel the pain of many Brazilians who won’t be able to vote for who they want,” said Haddad, standing next to D’Avila and other Workers’ Party heavyweights. “But now is not the time to have your head down.” Da Silva is serving a 12-year sentence for trading favors with construction company Grupo OAS for the promise of a beachfront apartment. The former president, who governed between 2003 and 2010, has always denied wrongdoing, arguing this case and several others pending against him are meant to keep him off the ballot. Da Silva led polls for more than a year, but his candidacy was recently barred by the country’s top electoral court. The court gave the party until Tuesday to replace da Silva. The strategy of holding on to da Silva’s candidacy until

the absolute last minute caused much internal fighting within the party. Many believed that leaving Haddad so little time to present his case to voters was risky, while others thought it was best to keep da Silva front and center as long as possible. “Haddad and I are like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez,” da Silva once said, referring to super star teammates on FC Barcelona’s soccer club. “We play together and we don’t even need to look at each other to know what the other is doing.” Rival candidates have frequently taken shots at Haddad,

attacking the centerpiece of the party’s strategy: his dependence on da Silva. Brazil will have “a little president” if Haddad is elected, said left-leaning candidate Ciro Gomes last month. “The theater of the Workers’ Party is over,” right-leaning Geraldo Alckmin said Tuesday. Recent polls show Haddad far behind, but the party hopes he will now rise with da Silva’s endorsement. The current poll leader is far-right congressman Jair Bolsonaro, consistently over 20 percent in a race that puts several candidates at around 10 percent.

Diplomats from Iran, Russia, Turkey meet UN envoy on Syria The Associated Predd

GENEVA — The U.N. envoy for Syria hosted key diplomats from Iran, Russia and Turkey on Tuesday to discuss work toward rewriting the country’s constitution, amid concerns about a possibly devastating military offensive on rebel-held Idlib province. The talks led by Staffan de Mistura started and ended with little or no comment to reporters at the U.N. offices in Geneva, and offered a sideshow to the concerns about a looming battle for the northern province — the last remaining rebel stronghold in Syria after 7½ years of war and now home to some 3 million civilians. De Mistura’s spokesman, Michael Contet, said in an email that any debriefing by the envoy about the meeting will be “reserved” for comments that he plans to make to U.N. Security Council next Tuesday. Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said the diplomats discussed the formation of the constitutional committee, “which constitutes a significant step in the struggle

to find a political solution to the Syrian crisis,” as well as procedural rules. It said the sides confirmed their “agreement in principle” to lists of participants proposed by the Syrian government and the opposition and held consultations on which civil society groups would also participate in the committee. The ministry said the Turkish, Russian and Iranian officials would hold more talks on the issue at a “technical level.” On Monday, the head of the U.N. humanitarian agency, Mark Lowcock, warned that Idlib could see “the worst humanitarian catastrophe, with the biggest loss of life of the 21st century.” Iran and Russia have backed a military campaign on Idlib involving Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces, despite Turkey’s pleas for a cease-fire. Before Tuesday’s meeting, Hossein Jaberi Ansari, a special envoy for Iran’s foreign minister, said a “good result” could emerge. Asked whether Iran shared the concerns about a possible humanitarian catastrophe

in Idlib, Jaberi Ansari replied: “We are worried too. We are trying to avoid this.” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy for Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev, declined to answer a question on his way into the talks about whether Russia would stop its airstrikes. De Mistura met informally with members of the three delegations on Monday. The talks are set to focus on creating a constitutional com-

mittee under Syria’s Russianand Iranian-backed government. Russia, Turkey and Iran have been working together as “guarantors” for a series of talks around ending Syria’s war. Turkey has taken in 3.5 million refugees from its neighbor. On Monday, airstrikes on Idlib and Hama provinces forced some people to flee their homes, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

WARSAW, Poland — A U.S. official said Tuesday that Washington is disappointed that Turkey is staying away from Europe’s largest human rights conference for a second straight year because it wasn’t allowed to prevent the participation of non-governmental organizations that it finds objectionable. The Helsinki Commission, a U.S. government agency, tweeted Monday that “Turkey is the only country boycotting … because it insists on having the ability to veto NGOs wishing to participate.” Ambassador Michael Kozak, the head of the U.S. delegation to the conference, said that Washington “regrets that Turkey chose not to attend” this year’s meeting, known officially as the Human Dimension Implementation Meeting. “Turkey’s presence would have ensured that its point of view was heard,” Kozak said in a statement to The Associated Press on Tuesday. The yearly two-week conference, which opened Monday in Warsaw, is devoted to democracy and human rights. It is organized by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which comprises 57 states from North America, Europe and Central Asia. The conference is unique because it allows civil society groups, no matter how small, to participate on an equal footing with governments. With many of the participants from countries with authoritarian governments in the former Soviet space, it is sometimes the only chance some democracy activists have to address government representatives from their own countries. The Turkish delegation staged a walkout of the meeting last year after failing to block groups affiliated with cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blames for a failed 2016 coup. This year, no Turkish delegation showed up at all, its seat empty. The Turkish government alleges that groups affiliated with Gulen’s movement are part of terrorist movements. It frequently accuses the West of sheltering Gulenists and not providing it with sufficient support against the network. The OSCE’s position is that allegations from a government against an organization without evidence or due process aren’t enough for a ban. Nate Schenkkan, director for special research at Freedom House, a U.S.-based human rights group, said that other countries, including Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, have also in the past objected to the presence or activities of certain groups at the conference. To give governments veto power, he said, “would send a very worrisome precedent.”

Bus accident in south India kills at least 55 people HYDERABAD, India — A bus carrying pilgrims from a Hindu temple in the hills of south India plunged off a road Tuesday, killing at least 55 people including four children, officials said. At least 33 others were injured. The driver lost control as he hit a speed bump on a road leading from the popular Anjaneya Swamy temple in Telangana state, about 190 kilometers (118 miles) from Hyderabad, the state capital, Transport Minister P. Maneder Reddy said. The overcrowded bus pitched into a gorge. Crowds often throng the temple on Tuesdays. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god Hanuman, and Tuesdays are seen as auspicious for offering prayers to him. Passersby rushed to help after the bus crashed, mangling the front of the vehicle. Volunteers crawled into the bus through broken windows, carrying the dead and injured though thick grass and up the hill to the road. The injured were taken to area hospitals. Local broadcaster ETV showed chaotic scenes at a hospital in Jagtiyal, where people wailed over bodies in a mortuary. Reddy said at a news conference that the bus depot manager had been suspended. “The bus was carrying more passengers than allowed,” Reddy said, adding that the accident appeared to have been caused by a brake failure. An investigation has been ordered into the cause, officials said. Among those killed was the bus driver, who lost both of his legs in the accident and later died in the hospital. “The bus accident in Telangana’s Jagtial district is shocking beyond words,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a tweet. “Anguished by the loss of lives. My thoughts and solidarity with the bereaved families. I pray that the injured recover quickly.” President Ram Nath Kovind also said that he was shocked to learn about the accident. Around 150,000 people die every year on India’s roads, often because of reckless driving, badly maintained roads and vehicles overcrowded with passengers.

Iran relocates consulate in Iraq’s Basra following unrest BASRA, Iraq — Iran’s ambassador to Iraq says his country is relocating its consulate in Basra, after demonstrators burned down the old one four days ago. Protests in the oil-rich city that began over failing services and contaminated drinking water have morphed into a condemnation of Iraq’s entire political class, as well as of Iran, which holds a large sway over politics. Angry demonstrators torched nearly every government building in Basra last week as well as the offices of several Iran-backed militias that operate in the city. Ambassador Iraj Masjedi on Tuesday said the old consular building was “completely burned.” It was occupied and torched on Friday. Protesters returned to the streets Monday night to chant against Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi and Basra Governor Asaad al-Aidani. —The Associated Press

P ioneer P otluck ‘G rannie ’ A nnie B erg About your very first day at school 1940’s at Cactus Hill Observatory District #101 On Highway #14 east of Fort Collins, Colorado. I was five years old when I started school, no pre-kindergarten, no kindergarten, no preschool. (And that was really the name of the school!) My first day at school I had no idea what school was, I could not write, or read, I only knew how to color in a coloring book and could count a little, maybe to 1 Of And the hardest part about school in the first grade was sitting still f Or maybe it was sitting like little girls should with cotton starched dresses, cotton under skirts, cotton underwear, high top socks and brand-new shoes that hurt my feet! My mother curled my straight as a string, white-blonde hair with bobby pins in real tight “pin·curls” the night before. It was combed out with an old bristle brush. She gathered up the sides and tied a ribbon so tight that I am sure my eyes were slanted all day! The instructions were running around in my head that came from my Mom and Dad-sit still, listen to your teacher, don’t pick your nose (my Dad) be polite, play nicely with other children and eat all your lunch. I was actually afraid of other kids my age as I was the oldest girl in the family and grew up with older uncles and cousins, every one of them boys! So when it came to swinging and teeter totter and the slide-I had no idea what to do. Girls squealed and were picky. I could Kick the Can and throw rocks and climb trees just like the boys. My first grade teacher was Miss Thayer. We all called her “Miss-a Thayer.” And again I have no idea why. She rang her little tiny brass bell for all to come in and hang our coats in the coat closet hallway. On a shelf next to the closet was a big crock jar with a dipper in it. If we were thirsty we just dipped water out of the jar, drink as much as we wanted and put the dipper back in the jar. Oh yes we did!! And at lunchtime a basin of water was dipped out of the jar and each one of us washed our hands in the same water as the previous person and dried our hands on the same towel. Oh my how times have changed. Before school was out it was up to a bigger person to throw the water out. In the morning a pail of water was pumped from a water cistern and carried into the school and poured it into the crock jar. Lunches were always special for me because our mother made the best lunch in the whole world. A nice homemade bread sandwich, See ANNIE, page A8

This August 2018 photo shows Instant Pot Mediterranean lamb stew. This dish is from a recipe by Katie Workman. (Cheyenne Cohen via AP)

COOKING ON DEADLINE: Instant Pot Mediterranean Lamb Stew By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press

Beef usually hogs the spotlight when it comes to stews, but there are plenty of other meats that can star in this quintessential, coldweather comfort food. Pork, chicken and here, lamb, a big favorite of my younger son, Charlie. This rich meat also takes well to many flavor combos, and in this recipe, some accessible, Mediterranean-inspired supporting ingredients turn the lamb into a truly delicious stew. If you are a chickpea lover, feel free to add a second can. These instructions use an Instant Pot, THE appliance of the decade. The Instant Pot is a plug-in pot that performs as a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker and a few other impressive cooking tools. In this case, you will first be using the saute func-

tion and then the pressure cooker function to cook a tender stew in much less time than it would take otherwise. Don’t have an Instant Pot? You can also make this stew in a slow cooker. Just brown the meat in the slow cooker if it has a saute function, or if not, brown it and saute the vegetables in a pot on the stove, and then transfer everything to the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients, and cook on low for 8 hours. If you don’t have an Instant Pot or a slow cooker, no worries! You can do all of the sauteing in a pot on the stove, and then add the other ingredients as directed and cook the stew, covered, over low heat for about 3 hours until the meat is tender. Give it an occasional stir to make sure the stew doesn’t stick to the bottom. If you prefer to put it into a 300 degrees F oven after all of the ingredients have been

combined, that works, too — this should also take about 3 hours. Give that a stir if you think of it every once in a while. If you don’t have brandy, add a healthy glug of red wine instead. This is a soupy stew, and would be fantastic ladled over noodles of any kind or chunks of steamed potatoes. So, whether you approach this old school, new school or somewhere in the middle, the cooler days approaching promise to be flavorful.

INSTANT POT MEDITERRANEAN LAMB STEW

Servings: 6 Start to finish: 2 hours in the Instant Pot, 9 hours in a slow cooker, or 4 hours on the stovetop or in the oven 1/4 cup flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 2 pounds 1-inch cubes lamb shoulder or

lamb stew meat 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed, divided 1/2 cup sliced leeks 1/2 cup chopped carrots 1/2 cup chopped celery 1/2 cup diced fennel 1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary 2 tablespoons brandy or cognac 1 (28-ounce) can diced or crushed tomatoes 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 2 cups beef broth 1 bay leaf Chopped fresh parsley to serve In a large shallow bowl combine the flour, salt and pepper. Add the lamb meat and toss to coat it. Place the inner pot into your Instant Pot. Press the Saute button, and then use the Saute or Adjust buttons (depending on your model) to select the “Normal” or middle temperature. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive

oil to the pot, and let it heat for 1 minute. Add the lamb in two batches and brown on at least a few sides of the cubes, about 2 minutes per side (if you want to brown all of the sides, go ahead, but it’s not necessary, and often the pieces of meat aren’t really sixsided “cubes”). Remove the meat with a slotted spoon to a plate, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil if there is not oil in the pan, and repeat with the other half of the lamb. Add the leeks, carrots, celery and fennel to the pot and saute without the lid on for 5 minutes, until everything is slightly tender. Stir in the rosemary, then add the brandy to the pot and stir for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, broth, bay leaf and lamb, and stir to combine. Close and lock the lid. Set the valve to Sealing. Press Cancel, then press Manual or Pressure Cook and use the Pressure Level Button to

select high pressure. Set the timer for 45 minutes. Note that the timer will not start to count down until the correct pressure has been achieved. When the Instant Pot beeps, press Cancel. Let the pressure come down slowly for 30 minutes. Release the sealing valve, remove the lid and serve hot in bowls, with parsley sprinkled over the stew. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 652 calories; 376 calories from fat; 42 g fat ( 15g saturated; 2 g trans fats); 97 mg cholesterol; 928 mg sodium; 35 g carbohydrate; 9 g fiber; 11 g sugar; 34 g protein. ——— Katie Workman has written two cookbooks focused on easy, familyfriendly cooking, “Dinner Solved!” and “The Mom 100 Cookbook.” She blogs at http://www. themom100.com/aboutkatie-workman.

For a nutty, risotto-style dish, reach for the farro By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

Italian farrotto is essentially a risotto-style dish made with farro in place of the usual Arborio rice. Although it is made with a similar method, farro’s more robust, nutty flavor gives the dish new dimension. But because much of farro’s starch is trapped inside the outer bran, achieving a creamy, velvety consistency can be a challenge. We tested making farrotto with pearled farro, which has had the outer bran removed, but the flavor was lacking and the sauce turned out thin. Instead, we turned back to whole farro and, to make the starch more accessible without losing farro’s hallmark chew, we ran the grains through a blender. After a few pulses, about half of the farro had cracked, freeing up enough starch to create a creamy, risottolike consistency. Adding most of the liquid up front and cooking the farrotto in a lidded Dutch oven helped the grains cook evenly and meant we didn’t have to stir constantly—just twice before stirring in the flavorings. We also created a variation with pancetta, asparagus, and peas, which turned this simple side into a satisfying main course. We prefer the flavor and texture of whole farro.

Do not use quick-cooking, presteamed, or pearled farro (read the ingredient list on the package to determine this) in this recipe. The consistency of farrotto is a matter of personal taste; if you prefer a looser texture, add more of the hot broth mixture.

PARMESAN FARROTTO

Servings: 6 Start to finish: 1 hour 1 1/2 cups whole farro 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth 3 cups water 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped fine 1 garlic clove, minced 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme Salt and pepper 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (1 cup) 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley 2 teaspoons lemon juice Pulse farro in blender until about half of grains are broken into smaller pieces, about 6 pulses. Bring broth and water to boil in medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and keep warm. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until

softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add farro and cook, stirring frequently, until grains are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Stir 5 cups warm broth mixture into farro mixture, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until almost all liquid has been absorbed and farro is just al dente, about 25 minutes, stirring twice during cooking. Add thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until farro becomes creamy, about 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in Parmesan, parsley, lemon juice, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Adjust consistency with remaining warm broth mixture as needed (you may have broth left over). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

It was used three or four times before we got new waxed paper for our sandwiches. She made little pockets with the wax paper for a few potato chips, a pickle, one or two of her wonderful homemade cookies or a slice of cake. Sometimes we got a little jar of home canned peaches with a spoon tucked in beside it In the wintertime we had homemade chicken noodle soup in thermoses or chili or beef stew with a biscuit and lots of butter in between wrapped in wax paper. We also had, most of the time, fresh :fruit, like a banana, an apple, or an orange that had been peeled. And always a jar of milk or juice. We ate lunch at our desks and had to be very careful not to make a mess. That was very hard for this little five year old girl. When we were through with lunch we could spend the rest of the hour playing in the schoolyard. We played hard and pushed and shoved to get the best swing and the best place on the teeter totter or on the Merry-Go-Round, so we would not have to be the one that pushed it around. We also had a ball on a rope attached to a pole -like a tether ball -but we called it a May Pole Ball. On May first it had crepe paper attached to the top and we all went over and under to decorate the “May Pole.” We also used Crepe paper strips to hang from the ceiling of the school rooms for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. We used those same strips to decorate for everyone “graduating” into the next grade on the next to last day of school. When “Miss-a Thayer” rang her tiny brass bell at one o’clock we came in -took a drink of water-passing the dipper from person to person and filed into the class room -all five grades in one roomprobably about 18 to 20 kids. It was nap time. We had to put our heads face down on our arms on the desk and close our eyes. No peeking! “Miss-a Thayer” would read to us for half and hour-that was my best time as I loved to hear stories from those words coming out of those big books. And sometimes she read poems. That is exactly why I wanted to learn to read! Then time to open the work books to arithmetic, writing or spelling. We all had a lined tablet and one pencil-if you had to sharpen your pencilyou raised your hand and asked your teacher. Same was true about having to go to the “outhouse” -yes, even in the winter time! She would watch the clock and if you were not back in 5 minutes someone would was sent to get you because you probably were ~’dilly-dallying.” The afternoon went fast if you were understanding and learning what the teacher was trying so hard to tell you -and some times it drug along as it was so hard for me to comprehend the new art of setting

still, listening, not talking, or watching someone else instead of the teacher. When 3:20 rolled around “Miss-a Thayer” would ring her little bell, which meant that you gathered up your lunch pail, you coat, hat, gloves and “galoshes” in the fall and winter. In the fall it was your lunch pail and the home work assignment, usually learning to write your numbers or the alphabet. What a struggle that was for me and once I caught on I loved it and wrote on everything! I perfected the alphabet and loved to make it perfect!! We all walked home from school. Very few moms or dads came to pick us up, except in the winter. We walked always on the right side on the dirt-gravel roadkicked rocks-ran down in the ditch and picked cat-tail and smacked them at each other. Crossing the bridge, we went down under where no water ever went-we could get lots of cat-tails there. We arrived home full of cat-tail fuzz and smiles and dust on our shoes. Sometimes we would get a ride with a neighbor who would go out of his way to take us home-and Mom would always say-”did you say thank you?” Bob grew up in Sinclair, Wyoming-a refinery town. They had a big nice brick school. They all walked to school. He was more interested in girls than studying ... and once got paddled for hiding behind a piano so he could hold a girls hand. The paddle was big with holes in it When he was told to bend over the table to get paddled, he moved so he got two smacks! My friend says that she went to school on a bus and was dumped off at school into a room full of kids. They lived in the country and other than church there were only close neighbors to play with. Special needs kids were just kids and accepted in the school room. She also said that she was in the “White School” and the black people went to a “Negro School.” The words and times have changed a lot today! Her husband was an only child and he was raise and worked on a farm. He was happy to be in school and had kids to play with, unlike at home. He loved recess -it was like heaven playing with everyone, until the bell rang and they went back to class. My poor kids when they started school had to endure the fact that 1 sewed their dresses and dressed them like frilly little dolls. My oldest daughter, Gail, ended up taking her clothes off at school because she was too hot. The teacher called me more than once to tell me “we have to talk about your daughter, she took off her shoes and socks again and I cannot get her to put them back on.” But the day the teacher called and said she had taken off her dress off at the playground. That was it-she was back in pants and tee shirts and she was happy and so was the teacher and this mom!! Susan loved to be dressed up and David liked to have new pants and shirts -but most of all he loved his cowboy boots ‘just like grandpa’s! I hope this takes you down memory lane, back to the “good ol’ days.”

Tart cranberries and sour cream make pound cake sparkle By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

Pound cake is simple but elegant; it’s also incredibly rich. We thought tart cranberries and tangy sour cream would provide a welcome contrast to the buttery cake, and the bright cranberries would also contribute a burst of color for an extra-special dessert. We wanted this pound cake to have a crumb that wasn’t quite as tight as a classic all-butter pound cake, so we used all-purpose flour instead of cake flour and we thoroughly creamed the butter. While cranberries should add tartness, fresh cranberries can border on acerbic. To tame the sourness, we tossed coarsely chopped cranberries with confectioners’ sugar before adding them to the batter; this also prevented them from sinking to the bottom of the pan. Baking the loaf slowly (for almost 2 hours) in a low (300 F) oven ensured that the inside cooked through before the exterior became too brown. If you’re using frozen cranberries, there’s no need to thaw them first. The ideal temperature for the eggs and butter is 60 F. The test kitchen’s preferred loaf pan measures 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inches; if you use a 9-by 5-inch loaf pan, start checking for doneness 5 minutes early.

Nikiski spikers pull out 5-set win over SoHi Bulldogs grab another volleyball victory over peninsula rivals in nondivision clash for supremacy By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

So far, so good for the losing thing for the Nikiski volleyball team. The Bulldogs shook off their first loss of the season by defeating host Soldotna 25-21, 20-25, 25-19, 20-25 and 15-8 on Tuesday in nonconference play. Last season, Nikiski went undefeated in conference play during the regular season only to lose in the conference championship. Before this season, coach Stacey Segura said taking a few losses during the regular season might not be such a bad thing. The Bulldogs lost Saturday at Southcentral Conference foe Grace Christian, but are now rolling again at 3-1 overall after defeating the Stars (6-1 overall). SoHi is a Class 4A school while Nikiski is a step smaller at Class 3A. “There were no signs of negativity,” Segura said. “The girls did exactly what I asked of them. “It looked like night and day compared to Saturday. It was a whole different team.” Nikiski senior Emma Wik filled up the stat sheet with 14 assists, 14 digs, seven kills, two aces and two blocks. Segura said Wik played defense as she never had before. “We blew through a lot of teams last year, but it was humbling to get that loss Saturday,” Wik said. “We worked on our weaknesses in practice.” Nikiski’s biggest problem against the Grizzlies was covering against the block. When an attacker swings, that attacker needs to know that if the ball is blocked, teammates will be below her to make sure the ball stays in play. “We were just tipping because we were afraid of getting blocked,” Segura said. Tuesday, the Bulldogs made

the adjustment and, with hitters swinging freely, the offense ran better than it has all year. Bethany Carstens led with 13 kills, but Lillian Carstens had six kills and Kaitlyn Johnson had six kills to go along with her nine assists. Segura said it was nice to branch out from middles Bethany Carstens and Kaycee Bostic, who had two blocks. “There have been times when we’re running only through the middle this year,” Segura said. Even with so much clicking for Nikiski, the Stars did not go down without a fight in a match that swung back and forth. The Bulldogs handed the Stars their first nontournament loss of the season, just as SoHi had done to Nikiski on the same floor last season. “They’re a very good team,” SoHi head coach Sheila Kupferschmid said. “I think their front row and their back row are very strong. They have good athletes.” The coach said her squad found it hard at times to finish against a defense which received 20 digs from Kelsey Clark and 15 digs from America Jeffreys. Kupferschmid said her hitters need to get stronger and more variety in shots, while the setters must get more experience. “We need to put balls away,” she said. Ituau Tuisaula and Aliann Schmidt did the best job putting balls away with 13 kills and four blocks apiece. Bailey Leach had eight kills and three blocks, while Kodi McGillivray had seven kills, Carsen Brown had 30 assists, Kalyn McGillivray had 10 assists and Holleigh Jaime had 17 digs. In the fourth game, Tuisaula had three late kills and three late service points to force a Game 5. But Bostic served out

Red Sox 1st to clinch playoffs By The Associated Press

BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox became the first team in the majors to clinch a playoff spot this season, rallying on pinch-hitter Brock Holt’s goahead home run in the seventh inning to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2 Tuesday night. The Red Sox assured themselves at least a spot in the AL wild-card game while reaching the postseason for the third straight year. The AL East leaders began the night with an eight-game lead over the New York Yankees. ANGELS 1, RANGERS 0 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Blake Parker gave up Isiah KinerFalefa’s single to right with one out in the eighth inning to end Los Angeles’ no-hit bid by relievers in victory over Texas. Jose Fernandez hit his first career home run for the Angels in the second inning, adding another milestone to the 30-year-old Cuban’s rookie season after making his major league debut June 8.

three points early in the fifth set for a 6-2 lead and a usurping of the momentum. “We didn’t get a great start in the fifth set and volleyball is a momentum game,” Kupferschmid said.

Wik said her squad was able to withstand the occasional flourishes of Soldotna’s powerful offense. “We stayed really positive when we got down,” she said. “We kept our energy up and

were able to get the momentum back.” Wik served out the last six points of the match. Clark finished the match with a kill after the rally was extended by some amazing Nikiski defense.

Like Segura, Kupferschmid knows a loss can be a steppingstone. “I hope it gives us a hungriness,” she said. “We’ve had good practices. The kids are working hard in practice.”

Man’s social anxieties prolong his loneliness either. Part of being social is showing an interest in other people.

My ex-wife and I had spent the previous 10 years in counseling. I currently go to post-divorce counseling, and my counselor agrees that I was mistreated by my ex and our adult children, who treated me more like an employee. I have begun seeing a much younger woman, and two of my kids say any relationship with them is predicated on my dating someone “my own age.” I feel this is wrong, and that it’s a continuation of them treating me as a servant/dad, versus as a person. My counselor suggests walking away for a bit, to establish new boundaries. Your thoughts? -- BUTLER DAD IN TEXAS DEAR DAD: I think you should listen to your therapist.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018: This year you grow in new ways. You could be dealing with an overload of energy or even frustration. If you see a crazy situation evolve or are about to blow your fuse for no reason, then slow down and look within yourself. If you are single, interacting successfully with a new friend will take talent because of so much energy and emotion involved. By summer 2019, you will find that relating is a lot easier. If you are attached, you and your partner need to calmly work through some of your issues; doing so will bond you together. You will gain understanding and ease. SCORPIO makes a great friend. 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) HHHH You might be in touch with someone whom you find to be somewhat aggravating. How you approach this situation could vary from one individual to the next. Get in touch with your anger and frustration, or you could become explosive. Tonight: Be aware of what is being offered. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Defer to others, and let them reveal their intentions -- although you might be shocked by an associate’s aggravation. Unfortunately, even if you don’t deserve it, this person’s anger could be directed at you. Stay cool and calm; everything will work out. Tonight: Go with the flow. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Pace yourself; you have a lot of ground to cover. Don’t forget to schedule an appointment with a doc-

Rubes

tor for a checkup. One-on-one interactions feel rewarding and point you down a more positive path. You could be unusually tired. Tonight: Make being a couch potato OK. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH From moment to moment, your emotions could skyrocket or plunge. The good news is that you know when your mood is likely to change quickly. Understand what is happening with a child or loved one. If you are single, Cupid could be just around the corner. Tonight: Say “yes.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your feelings touch another person deeply. You connect with this person as though you have known each other forever. If you can get past a misunderstanding, you will find today to be particularly rewarding. Tonight: Once more, recognize the power of your strong foundation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Return calls early on in the day. A conversation that you have today might need to be repeated in a few days. If the other party spaces out on you, don’t get uptight. This person might be processing a lot. Use your high energy well. Tonight: At a favorite haunt with favorite people. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be aware that each action has a reaction. When you decide to join friends, observe the cost. You might have been less than diligent in dealing with your finances. Stay on top of your spending. Otherwise, money might be an issue for you. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost anything. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You’ll get past an obstacle that drops on you via someone

else. You could be sullen and quiet, but you eventually will emerge smiling and ready to handle whatever comes down the path. Your habit of keeping a lot to yourself works well for you. Tonight: You can do no wrong. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH At the moment, you might want to go out on your own and avoid interacting with others. Your mood might be quieter than usual, and you also might not like the feedback you get from several friends. Do your thing, but keep it low-key. Tonight: Order a favorite type of food. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could be overly serious and determined. People who are too playful might irritate you. A friend you cannot contain shares some special news. A child or new friend causes his or her share of uproar. Maintain a sense of humor, and everything will be OK. Tonight: Among the crowds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Understand how far you can push in order to have things go your way. A boss seems to be hanging on to your words. Understand the possibilities surrounding a situation. Make a point of being a bit more abstract today. Be willing to stand up for yourself. Tonight: In the limelight. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH When a situation becomes too hazy, make a point to detach and look at the issue from a different point of view. You immediately will understand what you need to do. Surprises head your way. Tonight: Meet up with a friend at a place where you can listen to music.

READ LABELS! Dear Heloise: People don’t read labels on the products they buy, and they really should. So many products will say “low fat,” but what’s their idea of low fat? Is it 5 grams, 10 grams or 22 grams of fat? How much sugar, corn syrup and other non-nutritional things are added? Anything that has hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil contains fat. If you’re on a low-sodium diet or if you’re diabetic, you definitely need to read labels. -- Roger D., Bloomington, Ill. NUT SUBSTITUTES Dear Heloise: If you have a recipe that calls for nuts and you have someone in your family or a friend who cannot eat nuts, or you just don’t have any nuts on hand, substitute a rice cereal, using the same amount as in the recipe. Also, you can always substitute walnuts for pecans in a recipe. The taste will vary a little, but both nuts make great pies. -- Dawn P., Bryant, Ark. SWEET POTATOES Dear Heloise: My family loves french fries, but they also love curly sweet potato fries cooked in olive oil. It’s a nice change of pace and is very tasty with fish or chicken. The sweet potato fries are cooked just like regular french fries. So easy, and it can be enjoyed all year. -- Kathy M., Durango, Colo. TAILGATE PARTIES Dear Heloise: With cooler weather and football games arriving very soon, just a word to the wise: Make sure all meat products are in ice chests with plenty of ice to keep the meat cold, even if it’s cooked hot dogs or a cooked ham. This was a lesson I learned last year when I thought cooked hot dogs did not need to be refrigerated. We had several people who had “intestinal distress” that we are certain came from unrefrigerated hot dogs. -- Gail H., Kenosha, Wis.

DEAR ABBY: When I was a teenager, there were many times when I made things awkward. It continues today. I try to have normal conversations with people, but when I do, I have nothing to say. My mind goes blank, so I keep quiet and walk away. I feel like the odd person out each time and like I’m not good enough, and it really sucks. The only time I’m successful socially with people is at work because I’m kind of forced to be. I really want to make friends and possibly get a girl in my life, but it’s almost impossible to do with my social skills. This is so depressing and disappointing that I’m almost ready to quit trying. I need some tips and guidance. Do you have any? -- FRUSTRATED GUY IN FAIRBANKS DEAR FRUSTRATED GUY: I think so. If you think you are alone in having this problem, you are mistaken. The majority of people have the same insecurities you do. No one is born knowing how to be social. Social adeptness is a skill like any other. It can be learned and, with some practice and effort, polished until it becomes second nature. You don’t have to be handsome to be wellgroomed. You don’t have to be brilliant or witty,

. . . Tax

Continued from page A1

things she didn’t like about the tax, and that she believed the projected income made from the tax is “totally off the wall.” “I have been running a tobacco store for 18 years and I can show you in hard numbers that we are losing about 20 percent every year because tobacco use is going down and not being picked up,” Patterson said. “This is a dying industry.” Patterson said she is not fighting a tax on cigarettes. She says taxing other tobacco products would drive peninsula customers away from her store and on to the internet where they can purchase similar products for a smaller price tag. “I’m not really here to fight

the face-to-face sale tax,” Patterson said. “I figured it might be coming. I absolutely 100 percent feel that taxing something that you can buy out of Alaska, on a phone, in an app and get here in three days, is absurd. So something that I buy for $4, I retail at $18, and it’s sold at Cigar Thompson’s for $8.50, and that’s what I’m up against. I can’t believe that you would be taxing something that (creates) another reason to buy someplace else.” In a memo written by Dunne addressing the assembly, Dunne points out that other boroughs and municipalities in Alaska have already adopted similar taxes. The Mat-Su Borough currently imposes an 11.5 percent tax on cigarettes and a 55 percent tax on the wholesale price of other tobacco products, bringing the

borough roughly $8 million annually, the memo states. Alaska is home to some of the nations highest tobacco taxes. In 2009, Juneau increased its cigarette and tobacco tax to $5 a pack. Two years later, the smoking rate for the Juneau School District decreased by 38 percent, according to Alaska Health Fair Inc, a nonprofit that promotes statewide health education. Today, the youth smoking rate in Juneau is 9 percent, 2 percent below the national average. The Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids, a U.S. advocacy organization working to reduce tobacco use, shows three Alaska cities placing in the top ten highest combined state and local cigarette taxes. Chicago holds the highest cigarette tax in the U.S. at $6.16 per pack tax, followed by New York

City. Juneau is fifth at $5 per pack, Sitka is in eighth place at $4.46 per pack and Anchorage has the ninth highest cigarette tax in the nation at $4.41 per pack. Dunne also said in the memo that the additional cost for cigarettes and tobacco products could deter the use of the products, in particular youth. Borough administration estimates the Kenai Peninsula Borough makes $29.5 million in taxable tobacco sales a year, and 80 percent of which is generated by cigarettes, according to Dunne’s memo. Others testified they wanted to see a wide-based tax that doesn’t pick certain groups, like tobacco purchasers, to tax. Others said the borough should tighten their belt and make cuts before any taxes are

proposed. After the testimony, Dunne moved to postpone the vote to the Oct. 9 assembly meeting in an effort to rework wording that would impact other tobacco products. “I’m willing to rework this if necessary to address other tobacco product issues,” Dunne said. Mayor Charlie Pierce made a comment that updated information and revenue numbers would be available in November. The motion to postpone was voted down. Assembly member Dale Bagley had an amendment he wanted to make to the ordinance, but decided to not support the ordinance at this time, and wait until later this year when more information was available. Dunne said he understood

the reluctance to pass the ordinance but said he hopes a modified version of the ordinance could be considered in the future. “I was hoping we could postpone (the ordinance) so we can do more work on it,” Dunne said. “I understand we’ll have some more financial information in November and that we can always look at another option then. I understand that this will fail tonight. I hope that we can work together to come up with solutions, and perhaps a modified cigarette tax or tobacco tax that does not tax the other tobacco products can be something we consider in the future.” Reach Victoria Petersen at vpetersen@peninsulaclarion. com.

. . . Board Continued from page A1

sula Education Support Association, which represents the district’s support staff, both asked for a .5 percent pay increase over one year and a 1 percent increase the following year. This request was in their initial offers. The teachers union asked for a three-year contract. The district has a Health Care Program Committee, which includes members of the union, an administrator and three other employees. The committee is supposed to determine the final health care rates, which can’t be more than the broker’s estimate. The two plans also have to remain separated. Matt Fischer, a member of that committee, claimed in his public testimony that the committee has asked the school district repeatedly for data he says its members need in order to set those rates. Fischer and other commenters said the district has been slow to respond to requests. He and others questioned the district’s transparency when it comes to the health care plans and the contract negotiations. Board members at the meeting responded that they are committed to making sure any information being given out is factual. Board member Zen Kelly, a representative from the Southern Kenai Peninsula, said he plans to work to improve district transparency and the accuracy of available information. “I will commit to that,” he said. Because a new contract has not been reached by the district, the KPEA, and the KPESA, teachers are currently working within what’s called “dynamic status quo,” which is described on the school district website as working “within the most recent negotiated agreement.” “Work conditions remain the same as the prior negotiated agreement. All staff eligible for movement on their salary schedule did receive advancement on their respective salary schedules when the new fiscal year 2018-2019 (FY19) began July 1, 2018,” according to the website. Mediation took place on Aug. 8-9. The next meeting of the Board of Education is at 6 p.m. on Oct. 15 in the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly Chambers in Soldotna. r KPBSD Superintendent Sean Dusek also took time during Monday’s meeting to share an update on district events and where the district currently sits in terms of several statistics. His reports to the board included:Enrollment is down district-wide by about 90 students. “As you know, enrollment drives funding,” he said. r Through its Students in Transition program, the district provides services for homeless students — anything from living in a tent or simply lacking a stable place to stay at night, to staying with extended family members. Dusek said that as of last Friday, the district’s transient student population is hovering at 86. That’s 30 more students than this same time last year, he said. r Dusek will host a “Coffee with the KPBSD Superintendent” meeting at 9 a.m. on Sept. 24 at KBay Caffe & Roasting Co. in Homer.

Girl Scout Troop 210 donates Fidget Blankets for patients at Central Peninsula Hospital.

Community gives back to Central Peninsula Hospital Building bridges to wellness has been a theme of Central Peninsula Hospital (CPH) since Dr. Elmer Gaede and Dr. Paul Isaak opened the first medical care facility on the present site. Now, thanks to the generous efforts of the CPH Hospital Auxiliary, another bridge will be constructed and this time at the Peace Garden located on the hospital campus. Auxiliary treasurer Sue

Sanders recently presented a check for $2,500 to the CPH Foundation to facilitate the construction. “We run the gift shop at the hospital and we get other donations to the Auxiliary from the public and we’re happy to be able to help complete the building of a walking bridge here at the Peace Garden,” said Sanders. Kathy Gensel is the CEO

of the CPH Foundation and was on hand to handle the big check. “We’re building the bridge to allow access from the parking lot into the Peace Garden which will make it more accessible for those wanting to enjoy it. We have other grand ideas on extending some of the walking trails through here as well and my wish is to have a labyrinth here for the community to walk

through and utilize all year long,” said Gensel. The Peace Garden is located in the southeast corner of the hospital campus next to the Soldotna Library and is a very calm, quiet place. “It’s a place where people can come for some quiet time, whether they are with the hospital or not,” said Gensel. The CPH Auxiliary is comprised of volunteers dedicated

to assisting where needed. “We can always use more volunteers and anyone interested can contact me at the hospital. So far this year we have 155 active volunteers, yet we are struggling to fill all the positions we have to help make our service to patients be better and assist the hospital anywhere needed,” explained CPH volunSee CPH, page 2

Dance, music bring Alaska, Japanese youth together in Akita For a quarter-century, the Kenai Peninsula Borough has had a sister city relationship with Akita, Japan, thanks in in most part to the perseverance and organizational talents of Yasuko Lehtinen, who has taught Japanese at Kenai Peninsula College and the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District high schools. She has organized numerous sister city exchanges, including last summer’s visit by the Akita Kanto delegation who performed in the Soldotna Progress Days Parade. Recently, Lehtinen returned for her latest Akita exchange where she was accompanied by 17 local youth, including dancers from the Diamond Dance Project. “We went there to do an

international youth exchange program and we brought seven dancers from our studio. We went there to perform for Akita City and were also in Tokyo to do a show with fellow dancers from our sister city,” said Jesse Soyangco, instructor at Diamond Dance. His wife Crystal is also a dancer and accompanied the team. “The kids did very well, we took time to go over Japanese language, culture and traditions. It’s part of my heritage as well so we took a lot of time to sit down with the kids so they could learn how to respect the

culture and how to act in social situations, how to eat even and they did very very well. They embraced it and great ambassadors for our country,” said Crystal. The troop performed with the well-known Japanese national superstar known as Akita mayor Hozumi greets Jesse Soyangco of the Diamond Gash. “His hometown is Akita Dance Project at their performance in Akita, Japan. (Photo City so it was nice for him to courtesy Yasuko Lehtinen) go back home and perform for family and friends with our dancers.

enthusiastic audience,” added Crystal. The group was there during the Kanto Festival which drew four million to five million people on the final day of the festival according to Lehtinen. “Our dancers had a great time doing Gash’s choreography. He sent us a video of his choreography ahead of time and came to rehearse with us. We had a couple of rehearsals on stage before the performance with Gash. Our dancers also learned a cultural dance from Akita City and were on stage with the Akita dancers during their performance in addition to their own 15 minute set created in our studio,” said Jesse. “It was an amazing experience. Our dancers were amazing in the way they adapted to new situations they had never experienced before, the respect they showed for their culture was impressive. We’re so proud, our dancers are very diverse and to be their instructor is inspiring and heartwarming.” Crystal agreed that dancing in front of such a large audience was a high-energy experience. “Jesse and I were back stage our dancers did all the performing but for them to perform during the parade with four to five million people out there and then to do the concert was a huge accomplishment for this group. Sure they were nervous, like frightened to death, but they quickly learned to adapt and overcome the nerves. You could see them gain confidence and grow as they rehearsed minute by minute with confidence. It
