In the news Agencies map tectonic fault that touches Southeast KETCHIKAN (AP) — Federal agencies have completed the first highresolution mapping of a fastmoving underwater tectonic fault that extends from Vancouver Island, Canada, to southeast Alaska. Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Geological Survey finished the comprehensive mapping of the 746-mile (1,200-kilometer) Queen Charlotte-Fairweather fault system, aiming to help coastal communities prepare for earthquakes and tsunamis risks with the data, the Ketchikan Daily News reported last week. Scientists gathered an indepth look at the sea floor from April through July along the strike-slip fault line, which is a fault that moves side to side. Using the NOAA research ship Fairweather, scientists were able to gain more insight into the fault system that lacked in-depth data, said Peter Haeussler, a research geologist with the geological survey. The Queen CharlotteFairweather fault system is the counterpart to the San Andreas fault in California. The two faults create the boundary between the North America and Pacific tectonic plates. “It’s the same plate boundary, the same two plates moving past each other — but the big difference is that the San Andreas fault is mostly on land, whereas the Queen Charlotte fault system is entirely offshore and underwater,” Haeussler said. The Queen Charlotte fault system is one of the fastest moving strike-slip faults in the world with its slip rate of more than 2 inches (5 centimeters) per year. The San Andreas fault slips up to 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) per year, according to the geological survey. Fast-moving faults more often lead to large earthquakes than slow-moving faults, Haeussler said. Among the uses for the new data, it will be incorporated into updates for the seismic hazard map for the state, Haeussler said.

Stock the shelves as summer ends Produce is plentiful as farmers market season is wrapping up By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Despite the unexpected sunny August weather, summer is wrapping up, which means only a few more opportunities to shop local at farmers markets. Dan Bilyeu of Northern Lights Mushrooms sells his produce at the Farmers Fresh Market on Tuesdays and at the Soldotna Saturday Market. His stand is stacked with crates filled
with zucchinis, oyster mushrooms and colorful peppers, like scotch bonnets, jalapenos, poblanos and more. “My peppers have been phenomenal,” Bilyeu said. “I’ve got peppers everywhere. Nothing we raise here has the heat the southern peppers do, but they still give pretty good heat. I really like the flavor they have to them though. I’m not really into the burnyour-tongue-off kind of heat anyway.” After farmers markets end, Bilyeu
takes advantage of the Alaska Food Hub, a virtual farmers market where people can order products online. When the Alaska Food Hub season ends at the end of October and Bilyeu still has a surplus of produce, he turns to Anchorage, which hosts a yearround farmers market inside the Midtown Mall. “I take everything to Anchorage because I just don’t have any place to See FARM, page A9
Troopers are still looking for a man who went missing in the Kenai River on Monday when a boat overturned. First responders received reports from multiple people of a boat overturning around 6:59 p.m. Monday on the Kenai River near the Moose Meadows, with multiple people in the water, according to an online Alaska State Troopers dispatch. Two men were seen hanging onto an overturned boat while a third floated downriver, according to the dispatch. The two — later identified as Charles Bohman, 68, and Lawrence Paul, 64, both of Algoma, Wisconsin — were rescued by a private individual . “A good Samaritan in the area observed what was occurring and responded in a private boat, rescuing the two males from the overturned boat and transporting them to the shore where they were met by Central Emergency Services and transported to Central Peninsula Hospital,” the dispatch states. Alaska Wildlife Troopers and Central Emergency Services personnel looked for See RIVER, page A9
Paws and circumstance: Dogs graduate off-leash training By ERIN THOMPSON Peninsula Clarion
They didn’t throw their caps into the air — in fact, a few wiggled out of them — and instead of walking a podium to get their diplomas, the graduates sat. Or rather, stayed. About a dozen dogs — large, small, energetic or serene — gathered with their owners last week at Skyview Middle School for their final session of the Scotch Pines Dog Training program. Taught by Stephanie Hostetter, the nine-week program teaches owners techniques on how to get dogs to stay by their side, come when called, ignore distractions and, eventually, behave themselves when not leashed. Hostetter, who has taught classes in Idaho for nine years and in Alaska for six, first learned about off-leash methods when she took her springer spaniel, Belle, to a training course. “I had taken a … treat-based program,” she said. “I read books, and my dog was still out of control. And somebody told me about this class and so I enrolled and I was blown away.” The program uses positive feedback as well as “correction” techniques, such as using a training collar and a spray bottle with vinegar to deter barking. While Hostetter acknowledges that correction techniques can be controversial, she’s found the training was most effective for her. “My dog was off-leash reliable for her whole life and she lived to to be 12 and a half,”
Hostetter said. Although the course is aimed at changing a dog’s behavior, the training is as much for the owner as it is for the animals, she said. “First of all, you need to be the boss. The person needs to be the leader and the dog needs to be the follower. Otherwise they’re really not going to agree to obey,” Hostetter said. “So we start with leadership and then we follow that with consistent, clear training and instruction.” Ahead of last week’s ceremony, dogs and owners practiced obedience exercises on a lawn near Skyview Middle School playing fields.

Archaeologists excavate Native American fort found in Connecticut By DAVE COLLINS Associated Press
NORWALK, Conn. — A 1600s Native American fort uncovered as part of a rail bridge replacement project is shining some light on a tribe’s first dealings with Europeans, archeologists said on Tuesday during a tour of the site. The find on a small sliver of land next to railroad tracks that carry Amtrak and Metro-North commuter trains is considered one of the most important discoveries in the Northeast for Native American history. Not only did experts recently find the remains of the 17th century fort, they discovered some artifacts including arrow and spear tips that date back an estimated 3,000 years, indicating Native Americans were active at the site for generations. No evidence of human remains has been found. “It’s one of the earliest historic period sites that has been found so far,” said archaeologist Ross Harper. “And it’s very rich in artifacts including Native American pottery and stone tools, as well as trade goods such as glass beads, wampum, hatchets and knives. It’s definitely one of the more important sites, not just for the area but New England in general.” Harper said he believes the fort had wooden walls because what appeared to be post holes were found where vertical wood pieces were placed. He said it appears the Norwalk Indians, a tribe that historians know little about, had a fort at the site from about 1615 to 1640 and used it to trade goods with early Dutch settlers. The site is on a small sliver of land next to railroad tracks that carry Amtrak and Metro-North commuter trains. A 19th century history of Norwalk mentions an old Native American fort, and a road near the site is still named Fort Point Street. The site was found during preliminary archaeologi-
cal surveys ordered as part of the state’s upcoming replacement of the 122-year-old Walk Bridge, which spans the Norwalk River and swings open to allow boats to pass. The bridge has gotten stuck in the open position several times and caused massive rail service delays. Construction is set to begin next year. Harper works for Archaeological & Historical Services Inc., a Storrs, Connecticutbased firm that is painstakingly removing artifacts from the site and taking them back to its offices for cleaning and further study. Some of the artifacts may be headed to museums. The firm will write a lengthy report on the artifacts and its findings. The firm, which plans to completely remove all artifacts from the site by the fall, has been working in consultation with the Mashantucket Pequots and Mohegans — the two federally recognized tribes in the state. There is no known opposition to the removal of the artifacts. The two tribes issued a joint statement on the project this week. “Any time a Native American site or artifacts are found, the utmost sensitivity should be used,” the statement said. “While the Walk Bridge construction site in Norwalk may or may not have direct ties to the Mohegan or Mashantucket Pequot tribes ... we take the matter seriously. In fact, Tribal Preservation Officers from both tribes have actively been working with people on the ground there for over a year to offer their expertise.” The site is one of only about a half-dozen in the Northeast known to have contained evidence of Native Americans’ first encounters with Europeans, and most of the sites have been destroyed or removed during development of the lands, Harper said. The rare find is what drew
‘It’s one of the earliest historic period sites that has been found so far.’ — Ross Harper, archaeologist about 20 archaeologists from the region to Tuesday’s tour in oppressively hot weather. “For me, it’s like a gold mine,” said Kevin McBride, an anthropology professor at the University of Connecticut and research director at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum. “I think the reason the site is so important is that there’s a lot
of material here. It’s definitely one of the most important sites we’ve found in a long time.” McBride said items found at the site provide some insight into Native Americans’ first interactions with Europeans and show how they incorporated European products such as iron tools and knives into their culture.

What Others Say
Edible Alaska When the governor signed a seed bank
bill in Palmer, it’s likely Ketchikan hardly noticed. First, Palmer is more than 775 miles north of here. Second, it’s peppered with farmland, and Ketchikan doesn’t farm. It doesn’t farm. It grows in greenhouses during a summer like this. Or maybe a few outdoor gardens. Local produce is coming from one or the other, and it’s been wonderful to taste. Fresh cucumbers. Fresh tomatoes. Fresh beans. They make a delicious and healthy meal when combined with wild salmon or halibut. The meal can be topped off with a pie made with locally picked blueberries. This goes to show that Alaska can feed itself. The importance of that was spelled out by Gov. Bill Walker. He signed a bill that helps to establish community seed banks. The bill notes the importance of Alaskans sharing local knowledge and resources pertaining to agriculture — whether farms, greenhouses or gardens — and what seeds have been tried and tested for success in Alaska. It speaks to grains, fruits and vegetables, as well as flowers and other commercially viable plants. Walker pointed out that when Alaska became a state, Alaska grew 50 percent of its food. It grows 5 percent today. When you think about it, food production reduces reliance on other states and nations to feed Alaska. It decreases the costs of shipping food to Alaska. It’s an investment in local farmers, businesses, communities and the state’s economy. And agriculture isn’t all that different from commercial fisheries about which Ketchikan is well informed. Alaska should do all it can be become selfreliant when it comes to its food. This bill, which was signed oh so far away, is significant to Ketchikan. —Ketchikan Daily News, Aug. 22, 2018

John McCain, one more time
Others who were fortunate enough to experience John McCain, as I was, have offered their tributes to him, many more eloquently than I ever could. Still, I feel honor bound to try, because, throughout his life, McCain was all about honor. He was not a perfect man. As a reporter, I occasionally tangled with him, and he could display a nasty temper when crossed. But he also was very funny, quick with a devastatingly sarcastic quip. Although complex, he was simply the perfect example of a public servant who believed in public service. In other words, he was part of a dying breed, as his passing reminds us. He leaves behind a country he loved with a passion, but one that has been tattered by those who have taken the politics he practiced and turned it into, well, why don’t we just let John McCain’s own words from his memoir describe the current president: “The appearance of toughness or a reality show facsimile of toughness seems to matter more than any of our values. Flattery secures his friendship, criticism his enmity.” If anything, that would be a John McCain understatement about a man he despised for repudiating everything to which he had devoted his life. The feeling was mutual. While the world and our nation’s leaders struggled to find the words to pay a proper tribute, Trump’s initial response was a perfunctory tweet: “My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are
with you!” That’s it. Even his quivering staff urged him to say something more appropriately presidential, but this president would never be described as “appropriate.” We all know Mc- Bob Franken Cain’s story: He survived five years of torture as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam before returning as a national hero. Donald Trump had managed to slip and slide out of military service. But that didn’t stop Trump from being dismissive about McCain in response to criticism from him during the presidential campaign: “He’s a war hero because he was captured,” said candidate Trump. “I like people who weren’t captured.” That comment alone might have been fatal to other office-seekers. But Trump shrugged off the uproar and went on to win election to the highest office in the land, second in world power to his mentor, Vladimir Putin. Contrast Trump’s style to presidential aspirant John McCain in 2008, who was running against (and ultimately lost to) Barack Obama. While making an appearance, McCain encountered a passionate Republican woman who derided Obama, saying, “He’s an Arab!” McCain — in a famous moment that demonstrated his statesmanship — responded: “No, ma’am.

Letters to the Editor
He’s a decent family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.” Remember that Donald Trump spent years after the election of Obama leading the racist “birther” movement against the president. But John McCain he definitely was not. This is not to say that McCain was a saint. He was anything but. He could be vindictive, politically opportunistic, entirely fallible. One of his biggest blunders can be summed up with two words: “Sarah Palin.” He perceived her as a way to juice up his campaign. Unfortunately he didn’t do his due diligence — actually, he did no diligence — before selecting someone who was an uninformed blunderer who could have done the nation great harm if she were elected vice president. She wasn’t and they weren’t, perhaps because of her, and partly because of his muddled response at the end of the campaign to the economic collapse, which afflicted our country for years to come. All this you know. If you didn’t before, you certainly do now, thanks to the hundreds of tribute stories you’ve read, and the tons of coverage in honor of his triumphant life. He was every bit a human being, as those of us who dealt with him were constantly reminded. He never forgot his humanity, but it’s essential we contrast that with the inhumanity that prevails over the political world now.

Ex-Texas cop guilty of murder By RYAN TARINELLI Associated Press
DALLAS — A white expolice officer was convicted of murder Tuesday for fatally shooting an unarmed, black 15-year-old boy while firing into a car packed with teenagers in suburban Dallas, marking a rare guilty verdict in a police shooting case. Dallas County jurors were not swayed by Roy Oliver’s claim that he feared for his partner’s life when he fired into the vehicle as it drove away from a large house party in Balch Springs. The gunfire killed Jordan Edwards, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. Gasps echoed around the courtroom as the verdict was read. Edwards’ relatives sobbed and hugged prosecutors, and waved their hands in the air and proclaimed “Thank you, Jesus!” after the jury left. His father, Odell Edwards, briefly spoke outside the courtroom before heading back in to begin listening to the sentencing phase of the trial. He said he was thankful for the jury’s decision and felt like jumping for joy but was able to retrain himself. “I just want to say I’m happy, very happy,” he said, adding that it’s “been a long time” since he felt that way. Oliver and his partner were responding to a report of underage drinking at a house party when the shooting occurred in April 2017. Balch Springs po-
lice initially said the vehicle backed up toward officers “in an aggressive manner,” but police later said that bodycam video showed the vehicle was moving forward as officers approached. Oliver was fired days after the shooting. Oliver testified during his trial that he opened fire after seeing the car move toward his partner. But his partner told jurors he didn’t fear for his life. Experts say it’s extremely rare for police officers to be tried and convicted of murder for shootings that occurred while they were on duty. Not including Oliver, only five nonfederal police officers had been convicted of murder — and four of those were overturned — since 2005, according to data compiled by criminologist and Bowling Green State University professor Phil Stinson. Ahead of the trial, experts noted that securing convictions against officers were challenging, in part because criminal culpability in on-duty shootings is subjective and jurors are more inclined to believe police testimony. Oliver also was found not guilty on two lesser charges of aggravated assault stemming from the shooting. Jurors deliberated for two days before reaching the verdict. “This was a long fought battle,” said Daryl Washington, an attorney representing Odell Edwards in a civil lawsuit filed
Around the World Nevada’s 1st year of pot sales beats forecast by 40 percent RENO, Nev. — The first full year of legal marijuana sales in Nevada exceeded expectations by 40 percent, state tax officials said Tuesday. Taxable pot sales statewide totaled $529.9 million and raised nearly $70 million in tax revenue, including $27.5 million for schools, the Nevada Department of Taxation said. Adult sales that first became legal on July 1, 2017, accounted for about 80 percent of that figure and sales for medical use made up about 20 percent of the total for the fiscal year that ended June 30. State Tax Director Bill Anderson is predicting combined marijuana tax revenue will total $69.4 million in the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. The number of marijuana dispensaries selling pot for adult use in Nevada totals 61, with three additional outlets dedicated solely to medical sales. Only dispensaries that already were selling medicinal pot were granted recreational licenses for the first year, but that restriction won’t apply going forward. “As we move into fiscal year 2019, we expect to see continued growth in the industry by way of additional businesses opening up, and we expect revenues to continue to be strong,” Anderson said Tuesday. In addition to exceeding fiscal projections, he said broad marijuana legalization has proven to be largely successful “from a regulatory standpoint.” “We have not experienced any major hiccups or compliance issues, and our enforcement staff has worked diligently to make sure these businesses understand and comply with the laws and regulations that govern them,” Anderson said. In addition to the $27.5 million dedicated to schools, about $42.5 million was raised this fiscal year for the state’s rainy day fund.

in the death. “We are just happy … that Roy Oliver is gonna have to do his time for taking Jordan’s life. What he did on that night should have never happened.” Washington said black children and teenagers across the country can now walk around a little safer because officers know they will be held accountable. In closing arguments, defense attorneys told the jury they needed to evaluate the circumstances from Oliver’s viewpoint and from what the former officer knew at the time. But prosecutors described Oliver as out of control and looking for a reason to kill. They argued that his firing into the car wasn’t reasonable.
The shooting came after Oliver and his partner, Tyler Gross, had broken up a large house party following a report of underage drinking. Both officers were inside the residence when they heard gunfire outside and responded. Authorities later determined the shots were fired near a nursing home in the area. Oliver retrieved his rifle and went toward Gross, who was ordering the car carrying Edwards to stop. Oliver testified that he saw the car back up and stop for a second before moving forward and going toward Gross. Testifying in his own defense, Oliver told the jury the car was about to hit his partner. Oliver said he felt he had no other option but to fire.
1993 World Trade Center bomber sues over prison faith rights DENVER — A man serving a life sentence for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing is suing federal prison officials, arguing that staff repeatedly violated his religious rights. Judge R. Brooke Jackson did not immediately rule when arguments wrapped up Tuesday in a Denver federal court. Ahmad Ajaj was imprisoned in Colorado when the suit began in 2015. Ajaj is watching the trial by video. He was moved to a prison in Indiana early this year. The lawsuit accused officials of limiting Ajaj’s ability to see a spiritual leader from the same denomination of Islam and providing meals with meat that accommodated his beliefs. According to his attorneys, the prison began providing acceptable meals last week. Prison officials argued he has access to an imam from another denomination.
UN experts: Possible war crimes by all parties in Yemen By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press
GENEVA — U.N. human rights experts said Tuesday the governments of Yemen, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia may have been responsible for war crimes since Yemen’s conflict intensified 3½ years ago, including rape, torture, arbitrary detention and use of child soldiers. Their report — the first since being mandated to investigate by the U.N.-backed Human Rights Council nearly a year ago — is increasing international pressure on the Saudis’ Westernbacked coalition that already has been widely condemned for devastating airstrikes on civilians as well as combatants. The U.N. panel also pointed to possible war crimes by the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels who have been fighting the coalition that gets support from the U.S., Britain and France. In one of the first reactions to the report, a Saudi diplomat told The Associated Press that findings were “not accurate.” In 2015, Saudi Arabia announced it would lead a coalition of countries to against the Houthi rebels who had ousted Yemen’s internationally recognized government.
In the years since then, the U.N. says the conflict has become the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with more than 22 million people in desperate need in what is already the Arab world’s poorest country. The experts documented 6,475 deaths from March 2015 until last June, but said the real figure is likely to be significantly higher. Other groups have estimated that more than 10,000 have been killed — excluding over 2,300 cholera deaths since April 2017 amid pitiful water supplies. “Despite the severity of the situation, we continue to witness a total disregard of the suffering of the people of Yemen,” said one of the experts, British human rights lawyer Charles Garraway. “This crisis has reached its peak, with no apparent sight of light at the end of the tunnel.” “It is indeed a forgotten crisis,” he added. The report said the experts from Britain, Tunisia and Australia have “reasonable grounds to believe that the governments of Yemen, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are responsible for human rights violations.” Among the violations were unlawful “deprivation of the right to life,” arbitrary deten-
Boston Herald to move offices out of Boston BOSTON — The Boston Herald is leaving Boston. Publisher Kevin Corrado told employees in a memo on Tuesday that the newspaper will be moving its offices to Braintree later this year. Braintree is about 13 miles (21 kilometers) south of Boston. The Herald’s offices have been located in Boston’s Seaport District since the newspaper left its longtime home in the South End in 2012. The newspaper filed for bankruptcy in December 2017 and was later bought by Denver-based Digital First Media. Digital First owns hundreds of publications, including the Lowell Sun and Sentinel & Enterprise of Fitchburg in Massachusetts.

tion, rape, torture, enforced disappearances and child recruitment, the report said, adding that the Houthis were to blame for many of the same abuses. Much of the onus fell on Saudi Arabia, criticized for airstrikes that have hit schools, hospitals and wedding parties. One airstrike struck a bus near a market in Saada province, a Houthi stronghold, in northern Yemen on Aug. 9, killing more than 50 people, including 40 children, and wounding dozens. Nearly a dozen deadly airstrikes the experts investigated in the last year “raise serious questions about the targeting process applied by the coalition,” the report said. It chas-
tised some in-the-field coalition fighters for “routinely” failing to seek information about targets on official “nostrike” lists that should have been avoided. At a Pentagon news conference Tuesday, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said the U.S. intends to continue backing the coalition despite civilian casualties and questions about the Saudis’ commitment to avoiding killing innocents. He defended U.S. support for the coalition, saying American influence on the Arab air campaign has made a difference in reducing instances of errant bombing and the targeting of civilians.
Comey to address UConn students, faculty at annual forum STORRS, Conn. — Former FBI Director James Comey will address students, faculty and staff at the University of Connecticut this fall. UConn President Susan Herbst announced Tuesday that Comey will be this year’s speaker at the Edmund Fusco Contemporary Issues Forum on Oct. 15. In a message to the UConn community, Herbst says Comey will deliver remarks and participate in a Q&A session at the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts. President Donald Trump last year famously fired Comey, who served as director of the FBI from 2013 to 2017. Comey has recently written a book about his life and career. The forum is an annual event that’s privately funded by the Fusco family. Hillary Clinton was paid $250,000 to appear in 2014. UConn officials stressed that no taxpayer or tuition money was involved. — The Associated Press
Despite a strong economy, many Americans are struggling to get by By SARAH SKIDMORE SELL AP Personal Finance Writer
Despite a strong economy, about 40 percent of American families struggled to meet at least one of their basic needs last year, including paying for food, health care, housing or utilities. That’s according to an Urban Institute survey of nearly 7,600 adults that found that the difficulties were most prevalent among adults with lower incomes or health issues. But it also revealed that people from all walks of life were running into similar hardships. The findings issued Tuesday by the nonprofit research orga-
nization highlight the financial strains experienced by many Americans in an otherwise strong economy. The average unemployment rate for 2017 was 4.4 percent, a low that followed years of decline. But having a job doesn’t ensure families will be able to meet their basic needs, said Michael Karpman, one of the study’s authors. Among the households with at least one working adult, more than 30 percent reported hardship. “Economic growth and low unemployment alone do not ensure everyone can meet their basic needs,” the authors wrote.
Food insecurity was the most common challenge: More than 23 percent of households struggled to feed their family at some point during the year. That was followed by problems paying a family medical bill, reported by about 18 percent. A similar percentage didn’t seek care for a medical need because of the cost. Additionally, roughly 13 percent of families missed a utility bill payment at some point during the year. And 10 percent of families either didn’t pay the full amount of their rent or mortgage, or they paid it late. While startling data to some, it comes as no surprise to those
Americans who are struggling to get by. Debra Poppelaars of Nashville, Tennessee, underwent spinal fusion surgery last fall and was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly thereafter. Although she is insured, she owes roughly $19,000 for her portion of the medical bills. Between disability, a job change and the mounting debt, she hasn’t been able to make ends meet and is now facing bankruptcy. “It’s very hard at 64 years old, I look back and think I am in this position and I should be able to retire,” she said.
Jerri Wood of Renton, Washington, says she makes choices each month to pay one bill instead of another as she struggles to pay for her health care. Wood has lived for years with a brain tumor that requires regular monitoring and was recently diagnosed with diabetes that she takes insulin to manage. Rising costs for her care, even with insurance, have her juggling bills to get by — such as paying her cellphone or electricity bill one month and not the next. And she still feels like one of the lucky ones as she is able to survive. “There is such a need for safety nets, so many people are

in this position,” she said. The Urban Institute survey comes at a time when lawmakers are considering cuts to some safety-net programs, such as Medicaid, SNAP and housing assistance. The researchers said that lawmakers run the risk of increasing the rate of hardship if they reduce support services. It is the first study on the subject by the DC-based organization, which looks at economic and social policy issues. The institute plans to conduct the study every year to track the well-being of families as the economy and safety net systems evolve.

About Dad’s hat and Sunday school P ioneer P otluck ‘G rannie ’ A nnie B erg 1940-50’s on a farm east of Fort Collins, Colorado As I begin this article I want to thank all the veterans of all the wars and ask God to please watch over and protect them and their families. Our America is much safer because of you! My dad loved to go to Sunday school and church and wanted to drag along everybody in the surrounding area with him. Sometimes we had as many as 14 kids of all ages jammed in the 4-door peagreen Dodge. Mom would never go with us as she would say – “I have to get the Sunday dinner going.” We always took our baths on Saturday night and polished our shoes. We decided what to wear and went to bed early. Sunday morning was a big breakfast and getting ready for Sunday school and church. Dad would milk the cow, bring in the milk, put it in jars and put it in the “fridgrater.” He would wash his hands and face and shave, go into the bedroom and change from milk clothes into his Sunday clothes. He had a ritual that never changed. He would stand in the closet in his boxer shorts and his v-necked T-shirt and reach for his hat on the top shelf of the closet and put it on his head. Then he would unbutton the nicely starched and ironed white shirt that Mom ironed on Tuesday, and put that on, button the top button from the top down, go stand in front of the mirror on the “dresser”— an oak, finely carved beautiful piece of furniture that you do not see these days, flip up the collar on his shirt and put his tie on and flip his collar back down. Next he put on his socks, then pull on his suit pants, put the belt through the loops, tuck in his shirt and buckle his belt. Then came his shoes and next his suit coat. He would walk out of the bedroom all dressed up and handsome and say loudly so we all could hear, “You ready?” He would give Mom a kiss on the cheek and go sit in the peagreen Dodge until everyone got
in. He would start the engine, put it in “go gear” and off down the dirt road we go. (PS – “Pea-green Dodge” was all one word and one that Mom named it because she hated the color of the new car. Dad did not have a choice of color after World War II, and because they had a surplus of white and Army green paint, it was mixed together and used on the newly assembled cars. It was ugly! We never said we were “getting in the car”— just getting in the peagreendodge.) We lived about 10 miles from Fort Collins, where the big First Presbyterian Church was. We made several stops along the way as he picked up neighbor kids. But before we got to church we had to endure his singing! I smile as I recall how he loved to get everyone to join in “Oh that strawberry roan – she was a sun fishing son of a gun. Oh that strawberry roan. She would jump through the air with the greatest of ease, she would turn on a dime and leave you some change – oh that strawberry roan!” Then he would go right into “Big Rock Candy Mountain. Where the mountains were candy and the clouds were fluff, and the rivers were lemonade and…” The closer we got the Fort Collins he would change into hymns. “The Old Rugged Cross,” “I Come to the Garden Alone, while the dew is still on the roses” and “He walks with me and He talks to me…” Then he would slide right into “Nearer My God To Thee,” one of his favorites. Then “Into My heart, come into my heart, Lord Jesus.” At the top of his lungs he would belt out, “Jesus Loves Me, this I know…. Jesus Love Me, This I Know — fooor the Bible tells meeee soooo!” He would glance in the rearview mirror every once in a while to see if we all were singing with him. I owe my nonsinging ability to our dad – his flat monotone voice was full of happiness, cheerfulness and love. I sing that way too – but only in the car all by myself! He taught Sunday school with the same enthusiasm as he sang, reading stories out of the Bible and telling stories that had great morals. His enthusiasm was contagious and we all at one time ended up teaching Sunday school or playing the piano in “Little Church.” This was taught by Mrs. Reverend Grether, as we called her. She
Bob’s mom’s rum or brandy balls
Peanut butter brittle
Bob’s mom and sister, Donna, sent these to Bob for many years in a round cookie tin. He would eat as many as he could, then store the rest in the freezer and a have treats for the rest of the year. These are so good and easy to make and Bob’s favorite. Donna advises to double this recipe.
I have had this recipe for a long time.

When hosting a backyard barbecue, it is easy to decide to make ribs because everyone loves them. They are one of those universal foods. If you eat meat, chances are you love pork ribs. But it is a little harder to decide on the sides. Coleslaw and potato salad are the two most common barbecue sides with coleslaw being more prevalent. But how many of us leave that coleslaw untouched? I know I have. Even though I am firmly entrenched in the coleslaw camp, so many versions are lackluster. I love a classic coleslaw with fried chicken or a vinegar-dressed slaw with my pulled pork, but ribs beg for something a little more complex, colorful and assertive. Last week, I smoked ribs for some of my very good “food” friends and I wanted to make a side dish that they hadn’t had this summer. I asked my sister, Mary Pat, what she thought would go well with my menu of saucy barbecue ribs, cheddarjalapeno cornbread, and my apple-cider dressed cucumber salad. She reminded me of this brightly colored veggie coleslaw. I used to make it all the time, but somehow it fell out of rotation. I am so glad to be reacquainted with this old friend. I originally created this Confetti Coleslaw to go with a meaty chili, but it is the perfect side dish for ribs. It is vibrant and pleasing to the eye, it is
chock full of veggies, and the dressing is spiced with cumin, paprika and cilantro which are perfect companions to rib spice-rub that almost always includes cumin and paprika. It takes a fair amount of chopping so leave yourself enough time to put it together. You will find that the purple cabbage, carrots, sweet peppers and onion are the perfect base for a veggie slaw that is dressed with barbecue flavors and a hint of smoky Pancetta and sweetness from white raisins. I love how the hearty slaw echoes the smoky sweet flavors of my barbecue-sauced ribs. If you don’t feel like making ribs, it is equally delicious with chicken, grilled salmon, a burger or chili. It’s the perfect side to celebrate the end of summer and ring in the fall!

first to finish. We would head home with ice cream mustaches and smiles on our face and singing at the top of our lungs, of course! All the kids were let off at the various farms and when we got home we had to undress and put everything away and hang up our Sunday clothes. Dad would go into the closet and take his hat off, put it on the shelf and do the reverse of undressing. Note: Dad was very patriotic and always made sure we knew what war was all about and why we have our freedom today. During WWII, he was classified as a “4-F” because he was a farmer and they contributed to the war effort by raising food crops for the United State

was a little itty-bitty lady with a big, big smile and lots of love and kindness. “Little Church” was for “little guys” who could not sit still in “Big Church.” So instead of just babysitting, she had little church, complete with rows of chairs, hymn books and Bibles on every chair. We were very important to her and we felt that importance. Anyone who could play the piano was the pianist. I had that honor for a while and it helped me get over my fright of being in front of people by playing the piano, however un-well I played.

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 generous teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon paprika 1/3cup minced fresh cilantro 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper Cook pancetta in a heavy skillet until crisp. Drain and reserve cooked bacon. Reserve a few tablespoons of the pancetta drippings. In a large mixing bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, peppers, onions and raisins; toss well. In a small bowl, mix reserved pancetta drippings together with mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth. Whisk in mustard, cumin, paprika and cilantro. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Add more to taste. Pour dressing over slaw mixture, tossing well to coat
evenly. Reserve the cooked pancetta to mix in just before serving. Transfer to a serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the flavors marry. Before serving, re-mix coleslaw, and sprinkle with the pancetta. Serve chilled or slightly above room temperature. Chef’s Note: If your slaw seems dry, you may need more dressing. This will happen as the size of vegetables vary. You can double the dressing ingredients to make more, but let the slaw sit before adding more dressing because you don’t want to over-dress it.

Keep fish chowder light to preserve flavor This modern fish chowder honors its simple roots by showcasing moist, tender morsels of fish in a delicate broth. Searching for a route to fresher, cleaner flavors, we got a bonus: shorter cooking time. We started by gently poaching meaty cod in water flavored with salt pork, onions, and herbs, which created a quick fish stock and eliminated any chance of over-cooking the fish. We added whole milk to this stock, as opposed to other rich dairy like half-and-half and heavy cream, to keep the chowder light and fresh-tasting and preserve the flavor of the cod. A tablespoon of cornstarch whisked into the milk before adding it to the pot coated its proteins, preventing it from curdling as the soup simmered. Garnish the chowder with minced fresh chives, crisp bacon bits, or oyster crackers.

Walker’s homer lifts Yanks over White Sox New York overcomes 4-run hole to top Chicago NEW YORK (AP) — Through the first 14 innings of their homestand, the New York Yankees had five errors and four hits. A restless crowd was booing the team in pinstripes on a 96-degree night. Then all of a sudden, the Bronx Bombers snapped out of it in a big way. Pinch-hitter Neil Walker connected for a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, and New York rallied from a four-run deficit to defeat the Chicago White Sox 5-4 on Tuesday. “It’s not easy for us right now,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “We’re kind of grinding through some things. It’s a tough stretch. But these guys continue to find a way.” Aaron Hicks hit a tying homer in the eighth and rookie Miguel Andujar also had a two-run shot to help the injurydepleted Yankees win for the ninth time in 11 games. With the secondbest record in the majors (84-48), they remained 6½ games behind first-place Boston in the AL East. Walker batted for Ronald Torreyes with one out and launched the first pitch he saw from Dylan Covey (4-12) way over the right-center wall for his first career pinch-hit homer and second game-ending drive. As he neared home plate, Walker tossed his helmet high in the air and was swarmed by happy teammates. “As a pinch-hitter, you try to assume that the first pitch you see is going to be the best pitch you see. You try to be aggressive, just try to be on time,” explained Walker, who acknowledged the Yankees are tired. “That’s obviously as much as you can ask for tonight.” With the Yankees down by two, Giancarlo Stanton singled leading off the eighth to stop an 0-for-14 slide. Hicks drove a full-count pitch from Juan Minaya to right and shouted toward the Yankees’ dugout as he trotted to first. “Just a big relief,” Brett Gardner said. “A lot of excitement.” Dellin Betances (4-3) struck out two in a perfect ninth. New York was blanked on one hit by James Shields over the first five innings. Gardner began the comeback
with a leadoff triple in the sixth , and Andujar connected for his 22nd homer two outs later. Shields left leading 4-2 with two on in the sixth. He remained 5-15 overall, tied with Baltimore right-hander Alex Cobb for the most losses in the majors. “Pretty good outing overall,” Shields said. “Unfortunately, my record is not really showing how I’ve pitched this year. Sometimes that happens. ... Overall, I’m really pleased with my season.” Flashing signs of improvement, the young, rebuilding White Sox had won four straight and 10 of 13. “We’ve been playing really good baseball,” Shields said. “That’s a game we can’t let go right there. That’s a learning process for these guys, and situational pitching is very important in this game. We have to do a better job of that.” Chicago chased Yankees starter Lance Lynn with consecutive two-out singles in the sixth. Yolmer Sanchez greeted Jonathan Holder with an RBI single, and Nicky Delmonico made it 4-0 when he plopped a two-run single into left field. NATIONALS 5, PHILLIES 4 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pinch-running pitcher Vince Velasquez was called out for leaving second base early while tagging up, resulting in a game-ending double play that gave the Washington Nationals a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. After Aaron Nola outpitched Max Scherzer for the second time in six days in a matchup of NL Cy Young Award contenders, the Phillies watched Washington rally for three runs in the ninth to take a 5-3 lead. Ramos got Philadelphia within a run with a pinch-hit double in the ninth, and Velasquez pinch-ran for the catcher. Greg Holland relieved and retired Jorge Alfaro on a flyball to center, with Velasquez moving to third as the potential tying run. But the Nationals appealed that Velasquez left too soon, and he was called out. A replay upheld the ruling. Anthony Rendon hit a go-ahead, tworun homer off Pat Neshek (1-1) in the Nationals ninth. The Nationals trailed 3-2 when Bryce Harper drew a leadoff walk from Tommy Hunter. Neshek surrendered

RED SOX 8, MARLINS 7 BOSTON (AP) — J.D. Martinez scored when Marlins shortstop JT Riddle threw away a potential double-play ball in the ninth inning, lifting the Boston Red Sox over Miami following a wild, backand-forth final two innings. Boston snapped a three-game skid and avoided its first four-game losing streak of the season — barely. Miami scored five runs in the eighth inning to lead 6-4, allowed three runs to Boston in the bottom of the inning, then tied the game at 7 in the top of the ninth against closer Craig Kimbrel (4-1).

Delle Donne stumbles, Dream even series ATLANTA (AP) — Alex Bentley came off the bench to score 21 points and the Atlanta Dream evened their WNBA semifinal playoff series against Washington with a 78-75 victory Tuesday night, but the game was marred in the closing minutes when Mystics star Elena Delle Donne went down with what looked to be a serious knee injury. Delle Donne had another huge game with 27 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal, giving the Mystics a chance to take control of the best-of-five series with a second straight road win. Then, with just over 3 minutes remaining and Washington clinging to a 70-68 lead, Delle Donne stumbled on a drive to the basket and collapsed to the court, clutching her left knee. The entire Mystics team raced to her side at the opposite end of the court, some turning away in dismay when they saw Delle Donne writing on the court in pain.
The injury may deprive the series of two of its biggest stars. The Dream already was missing its longtime leader, Angel McCoughtry, who went down late in the season with a knee injury and cheered on her teammates from the bench. STORM 91, MERCURY 87, OT SEATTLE (AP) — Sue Bird scored 19 points, including the go-ahead basket with 1:03 left in overtime and two clinching free throws with 2.1 seconds left, to help the Seattle Storm recover from blowing a 17-point fourth quarter lead and beat the Phoenix Mercury in the second game of the WNBA semifinals. Seattle now has a 2-0 lead in the best-of-5 series, having won Sunday’s first game by an identical score. Breanna Stewart led Seattle with 27 points, getting 14 of those in the third quarter to help the Storm build a 19-point advantage.
Bautista heads to Philly PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies acquired veteran slugger Jose Bautista from the New York Mets on Tuesday for a player to be named or cash. Bautista has batted .196 with 11 homers and 42 RBIs for the Braves and Mets this season. The Phillies entered Tuesday night’s game against Washington 3½ games behind first-place Atlanta in the NL East. A six-time All-Star for Toronto from 2010-15, the 37-yearold Bautista has 342 career homers. The right-handed hitter is expected to come off the bench for the Phillies and was going to be available to play against the Nationals. He has started in the outfield, third base and first base this season. “He’s going to be a veteran presence in the dugout and in the clubhouse,” Phillies manager
Gabe Kapler said. “A major part of his role (is) how intelligent he is. He sees the game differently than anyone we have on our roster right now. He’s very good at picking up tells and figuring out which of our pitchers and opposing pitchers are tipping, and he’s going to share that with our clubhouse.” Philadelphia has been active, acquiring infielder Asdrubal Cabrera and two-time All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos last month, then first baseman Justin Bour and lefty reliever Luis Avilan in August. Right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. was designated for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster for Bautista and catcher Andrew Knapp was optioned to TripleA Lehigh Valley. Bautista joins his third NL East team this year. Philadelphia will be his eighth club overall in 15 major league seasons.
But Phoenix, which was still down by 17 at 73-56 with six minutes left, went on a 23-6 run to end regulation, tying it on an incredible 3-pointer from the left corner by Diana Taurasi with 3.7 seconds left. It was her third trey in the final 1:36 of the
fourth quarter. Taurasi finished with 28 points. Stewart had a chance at the game-winner for Seattle in regulation, but her turnaround shot from the right of the hoop bounced off the rim.
Today in History Today is Wednesday, Aug. 29, the 241st day of 2018. There are 124 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast near Buras, Louisiana, bringing floods that devastated New Orleans. More than 1,800 people in the region died. On this date: In 1862, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing began operations at the United States Treasury. In 1864, the Democratic National Convention, which nominated Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan for president, opened in Chicago. In 1877, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Brigham Young, died in Salt Lake City, Utah, at age 76. In 1910, Korean Emperor Sunjong abdicated as the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty went into effect. In 1944, 15,000 American troops of the 28th Infantry Division marched down the Champs Elysees (shahms ay-lee-ZAY’) in Paris as the French capital continued to celebrate its liberation from the Nazis. In 1957, the Senate gave final congressional approval to a Civil Rights Act after South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond (then a Democrat) ended a filibuster that had lasted 24 hours. In 1958, pop superstar Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana. In 1962, Malvin R. Goode began covering the United Nations for ABC-TV, becoming network television’s first black reporter. In 1964, Roy Orbison’s single “Oh, Pretty Woman” was released on the Monument label. In 1965, Gemini 5, carrying astronauts Gordon Cooper and Charles “Pete” Conrad, splashed down in the Atlantic after 8 days in space. In 1972, swimmer Mark Spitz of the United States won the third of his seven gold medals at the Munich Olympics, finishing first in the 200-meter freestyle. In 1996, the Democratic National Convention in Chicago nominated Al Gore for a second term as vice president. Earlier in the day, President Bill Clinton’s chief political strategist, Dick Morris, resigned amid a scandal over his relationship with a prostitute. Ten years ago: Republican presidential nominee John McCain picked Sarah Palin, a maverick conservative who had been governor of Alaska for less than two years, to be his running mate. Five years ago: In a sweeping new policy statement, the Justice Department said it would not stand in the way of states that wanted to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana as long as there were effective controls to keep marijuana away from kids, the black market and federal property. The NFL agreed to pay $765 million to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related health problems they say were caused by the onfield clashes. One year ago: North Korea flew a ballistic missile designed to carry a nuclear payload over Japan, likely the country’s longest-ever launch; President Donald Trump said “all options are on the table” for a U.S. response. Federal and local agencies said they had lifted more than 13,000 people out of the floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey in the Houston area and surrounding cities and counties. President Donald Trump made his first of two visits to Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and spent much of the visit applauding the government’s response efforts; he planned to return later in the week to survey the damage and meet with survivors. Comedian Kathy Griffin retracted her apology for posing with what appeared to be the severed head of President Donald Trump, saying the anger against her was overblown.

Home plate umpire Chad Fairchild called Duvall safe on his slide under the tag of catcher Michael Perez, beating Bauers’ throw to the plate. A video review lasting 1 minute, 45 seconds, confirmed the call. Pinch-hitter Tyler Flowers, who agreed to a contract extension earlier in the day, followed with a two-run homer that landed in the Rays’ bullpen behind the left-field wall. Ender Inciarte, who drove in two runs on four hits, added another homer to center off Andrew Kittredge.
ORIOLES 12, BLUE JAYS 5 BALTIMORE (AP) — Josh Rogers won his major league debut, Tim Beckham hit a three-run homer and the Orioles rolled over the Blue Jays. Rogers, acquired from the Yankees for closer Zach Britton in July, allowed three runs and seven hits with two strikeouts and a walk over five innings. He was the first left-handed pitcher to start a game for Baltimore this season. Craig Gentry went 3 for 5 with his first home run and three RBIs for the Orioles, who won consecutive games for the first time this month. Trey Mancini added a double and a triple, while Adam Jones tied a career high with four hits.
INDIANS 8, TWINS 1 CLEVELAND (AP) — Carlos Carrasco struck out 11 and withstood another scary Minnesota line drive, pitching the Indians past the Twins. Francisco Lindor matched a career high with four hits while Jose Ramirez drove in three runs for the AL Central leaders. Carrasco (16-7) allowed four hits in 7 2/3 innings. He is tied for second in the majors in wins, one behind Luis Severino of the Yankees. In the fifth, Carrasco was hit in the glove by Ehire Adrianza’s liner. The force of the blow knocked Carrasco to the ground, but the right-hander immediately got to his feet. The ball rolled toward second baseman Jason Kipnis, who had no play at first.
ROYALS 6, TIGERS 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jakob Junis held scuffling Detroit to six hits in his first career complete game, Adalberto Mondesi homered to spur a five-run frame and the Royals beat the Tigers. The only runs Junis (7-12) allowed came in the third, when Jeimer Candelario managed a sacrifice fly, and the eighth, when JaCoby Jones went deep. Otherwise, the Royals’ young right-hander was brisk and efficient, striking out seven without a walk to win for only the second time since May 18. Junis had never thrown a complete game in the minors, either. Matthew Boyd (8-12) took the loss.
REDS 9, BREWERS 7 CINCINNATI (AP) — Jose Peraza started Junior Guerra’s rough outing with a two-run homer, and the Cincinnati Reds withstood Christian Yelich’s first multihomer game. Since trailing the Cubs by a game on Aug. 4, Milwaukee has gone 8-11 and slid to third in the NL Central. The Reds ended a five-game losing streak by taking advantage of Guerra (6-9), who gave up six runs and faced only 13 batters in his shortest outing of the season. Peraza had two of his four hits off Guerra, who threw 45 pitches.
DODGERS 8, RANGERS 4 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Manny Machado drove in four runs, Brian Dozier hit his 20th homer of the season and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Rangers for their fourth win in a row. Machado’s four RBIs were the most in his 36 games for the Dodgers since being acquired from the Baltimore Orioles last month. The shortstop put Los Angeles ahead to stay with a two-run single in the third, then added a sac fly in the fourth and an RBI single in the sixth. He has nine RBIs the past three games. Dozier, another midseason addition, had a solo shot for his fourth homer in 24 games since joining the Dodgers from Minnesota. He also had an RBI single. Caleb Ferguson (5-2) went 1 1/3 innings as the first of four relievers with scoreless outings before struggling closer Kenley Jansen came on with an 8-2 lead and allowed three hits and two runs in the ninth.
CARDINALS 5, PIRATES 2 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jose Martinez and Tyler O’Neill homered, rookie Jack Flaherty pitched seven innings and the Cardinals beat the Pirates in Mike Shildt’s first game since being promoted to full-time manager. The Cardinals have won six of seven and are 20-5 in August. Earlier in the day, St. Louis took off the interim tag on Shildt, who was put in charge after Mike Matheny was fired last month a day before the All-Star break. St. Louis is 27-12 under Shildt. He was rewarded with a contract through 2020 after guiding the Cards back into playoff contention. The Pirates have lost eight of 10.
ROCKIES 3, ANGELS 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Carlos Gonzalez hit a two-run homer in the first inning and the Rockies beat the Angels to split their series. Kyle Freeland (12-7) allowed one run and five hits in six innings. The left-hander struck out six and walked two in his first career start against the Angels. Wade Davis struck out the side in the ninth to earn his NL-leading 36th save, extending his career high.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Travis Jankowski homered on Felix Hernandez’s first pitch and rookie Jacob Nix came within two outs of a complete game in his fourth big league start for the Padres, who beat the Mariners. The Padres, who have the worst record in the NL, snapped a fivegame losing streak and won for just the second time in seven games. Nix (2-2) retired Jean Segura to open the ninth before Nelson Cruz homered to center field on Nix’s 79th pitch. It was Cruz’s 32nd. That was it for Nix, who allowed eight hits and no walks. He had no strikeouts. Kirby Yates came on to get the final two outs for his sixth By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer save.

Players sweat through heat of US Open
GIANTS 1, DIAMONDBACKS 0 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pinch-hitter Gorkys Hernandez singled home the winning run with one out in the ninth inning, lifting the Giants to a win against the Diamondbacks. Steven Duggar scored the deciding run moments after what looked like a potentially serious injury. Duggar stayed in the game after making a headfirst slide back into second on Nick Hundley’s single after he initially rounded second. Duggar was seen testing his bruised left shoulder, which will be re-evaluated Wednesday.
NEW YORK — His cheeks red, hair matted with sweat, Novak Djokovic appeared to be in such distress as he trudged to a changeover on a steamy U.S. Open afternoon that someone suggested it would be a good idea to have a trash can at the ready, just in case he lost his lunch. Djokovic sat down and removed his shirt. He guzzled water from a plastic bottle. He placed one cold towel around his neck, a second across his lap and a third between his bare upper back and the seat. He was not even 1½ hours into his first match at Flushing Meadows in two years, and while Djokovic eventually would get past Marton Fucsovics 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-0 Tuesday, it was a bit of an ordeal. “Survival mode,” Djokovic called it.
With the temperature topping 95 degrees (33 Celsius) and the humidity approaching 50 percent — and that combination making it feel more like 105 (40 C) — nearly everything became a struggle for every player across the grounds on Day 2 of the U.S. Open, so much so that no fewer than six quit their matches, with five citing cramps or heat exhaustion. About 2 hours into the day’s schedule, the U.S. Tennis Association decided to do something it never had at this tournament: offer men the chance to take a 10-minute break before the fourth set if a match went that far. That is similar to the existing rule for women, which allows for 10 minutes of rest before a third set when there is excessive heat. The whole thing raised several questions: Should the genders have the same rules moving forward? Should the U.S.
Open avoid having matches during the hottest part of the day, not just for the players’ sake but also to help spectators? Should the men play best-of-three-set matches at majors, instead of best-offive? Should the 25-second serve clock, making its Grand Slam debut here, be shut off to let players have more time to recover between points? “At the end of the day, the ATP or a lot of the supervisors, they’re kind of sitting in their offices, where (there’s) an A.C. system on, where it’s cool. And we have to be out there. They tell us it’s fine; they’re not the ones playing,” said No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev, who won in straight sets in the early evening, when it was far less harsh. “For sure, the rule should be more strict. There should be a certain temperature, certain conditions where we shouldn’t be playing.”

CHICAGO — An anticipated showdown between Jacob deGrom and Cole Hamels will be decided without them — and a day later, to boot. The game between the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets was suspended with the score tied at 1 in the top of the 10th inning Tuesday night following a rain delay of 53 minutes. The game will resume Wednesday at noon. The finale of the three-game series, scheduled for 1:20 p.m., will begin approximately 45 minutes after the conclusion of the suspended game. Tuesday’s showdown featured the marquee matchup of deGrom and Hamels — the ERA leader in the majors versus one of the hottest pitchers in the league — and didn’t disappoint. DeGrom settled for a no-
decision despite throwing eight strong innings. He allowed a run and eight hits, struck out 10 and walked one, lowering his ERA to 1.68. “He continues to go out there with confidence and continues to make pitches in big situations and gives us a chance to win,” Mets manager Mickey Callaway said. After going the distance in his last start for Chicago’s only complete game of the season, Hamels was lifted for a pinch hitter after five scoreless innings and 93 pitches. He allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked three while lowing his ERA to 0.69 in six starts since being traded from Texas to the Cubs in late July. “To put up zeroes are great, giving the team an opportunity to win,” Hamels said, “but first and foremost you want to go deep in the ballgame.” Brandon Kintzler took over in the sixth and immediately
found trouble. Todd Frazier led off with a single and Jay Bruce followed with a walk. After Kevin Plawecki grounded out to third to advance both runners, lefty Jorge De La Rosa came on and got Brandon Nimmo to pop out to shortstop. DeGrom then hit a sharp grounder to the left side. Baez fielded the ball on the outfield grass, but had no play, allowing Frazier to score and give New York a 1-0 lead. Chicago tied it in the seventh. Kyle Schwarber led off with a single and Albert Almora Jr. tried to sacrifice him to second, but bunted the ball right to deGrom, who fired to second for the force out. Pinch-hitter Ben Zobrist then hit a sharp grounder that went under the glove of Bruce at first base and rolled into right, putting runners on the corners with one out. David Bote followed with a sacrifice fly to center that tied it.

His seven pot chili peppers haven’t even come up yet and his ghost peppers won’t be ready until October. His oyster mushrooms can also be grown year-round. “There are several things that won’t even make it to the market,” Bilyeu said. He’s been growing and selling his produce for more than 20 years in Alaska. He said he’s seen a real boom in the market scene in the last decade or so. “There was a so-so thing on the peninsula then, and Anchorage was really building their markets,” Bilyeu said. “Finally, everybody got tired of having to go to Anchorage. The growers got larger and were able to produce more produce and that’s really helped. There’s a lot of new vendors and a lot of new growers and that’s a really nice thing to see.” New to the market scene is Debora Sperry. Tuesday’s Farmers Fresh Market was her first time behind the counter of a market stand, where she’s selling small, potted avocado

trees. She sells each tree for $5 and donates all of her proceeds to the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank. “I love gardening and I’ve spent a few years growing avocado trees for fun,” Sperry said. “It takes a long time to grow them this high. I figured if anyone wanted one and wanted to make a donation to the food bank diner then they could make a donation, get a treat and have fun with it.” Sperry will be at the next two Farmers Fresh Markets, which are 3–6 p.m. on Tuesdays at the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank. The Farmers Fresh Market ends on Sept. 11. The Soldotna Saturday Market, which is 10 a.m.–2 p.m. on Saturdays off of E. Corral Avenue in Soldotna, ends Sept. 8. The Alaska Food Hub will continue to deliver at their pick up locations in Ninilchik and Soldotna until Wednesday, Oct. 24. As one last hurrah to the market season, the Harvest Moon Local Food Festival will be one of the largest food vendor events of the year. There will be live music, food demonstrations, vendors, speakers and food trucks featuring local ingredients. The event is 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15 in Soldotna Creek Park.

LeDoux surges in close Anchorage Republican primary election results ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Dead and non-existent voters wound up not playing a role in a hotly contested Alaska House race after absentee votes pushed the incumbent Republican at odds with her party to a huge lead Tuesday. After last week’s primary, state Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux trailed political newcomer Aaron Weaver by three votes for the seat in the Legislature representing east Anchorage, even though Weaver did little to no campaigning. When election officials counted absentee, questioned and early votes Tuesday, those broke 158-35 in LeDoux’s favor. That gave her a 113-vote lead, 452-339, with the election to be certified Saturday. She didn’t attend the count Tuesday at the Division of Elections office in Anchorage. But her lawyer, Tom Amodio, immediately texted her the good news. “She was relieved, quite relieved,” Amodio said. LeDoux entered the race without the support of the Alaska Republican Party, which branded her a turncoat because she caucused with the Democrats. The GOP targeted her for defeat. “Normally we just suck it up and say, ‘That’s how they are, and the voters made a choice,’ “ Tuckerman Babcock, the chairman of the Alaska Republican Party, said of the election results. “In this case, everything is still on the table.” He said they will look at backing a write-in candidate in the general election, possibly Weaver. “If that’s where we have to go, we’ll do that. But LeDoux is not a legitimate candidate,” Babcock said. In a statement after the votes were counted, LeDoux said: “I have never looked for ways to manufacture votes. In this day and age of voter verification, that would be absurd. “ “Any ballot irregularities were properly detected by the Division of Election. I would expect no less. The votes that have decided this election are, by the Division of Election’s own standards, valid votes,” LeDoux said. Meanwhile, election officials confirmed that a complaint has been filed claiming Weaver doesn’t live in the district. “We’re looking into it,” elections spokeswoman Samantha Miller said in a text message to The Associated Press. The phone rang unanswered Tuesday at a listing for an Aaron Weaver in Anchorage. The absentee vote issue loomed large Monday in the tight race when state election officials said issues had been found with parts of the absentee voting process in the district. That included rejecting seven applications for absentee ballots after workers found that they had been made in the names of people believed to be dead. Election officials said they always try to find voters whose ballots were returned. But election officials said more than 50 percent of the people they tried to contact in this district either no longer had working phones or did not answer. When election workers did make contact, two people said they did not cast a ballot in this election, even though ballots had been submitted in their name. Those ballots were not counted. By checking voter history and comparing signatures, election workers determined a vast majority of the absentee voters appeared to be legitimate. It was found that 26 absentee voters were determined to have authenticity issues. Election workers first counted the legitimate ballots. They then counted the 26 ballots that have issues, and included them in the total to be verified on Saturday. If those were removed, LeDoux still has an 87-vote lead. Those 26 ballots were kept with their original envelopes, which includes the voter’s name and address, in case of a legal challenge.

gate crowds without distraction, and follows Musgrove around the house affectionately. “She got top dog last week,” Musgrove said. Ralph, a 90-pound German shepherd, had a few freewheeling moments during the skills demonstration, but has made similar progress, owner John Ehlers said. A resident of Ninilchik, Ehlers commuted to Soldotna weekly for the training and said he’s seen a marked difference not only in Ralph but the other dogs as well. “I just have to say that from the time we showed up here nine weeks ago, and all these dogs were pulling on their leash and barking. People couldn’t control their dogs,” Ehlers said. “That first day, in two hours, everybody left with control. On the leash with the dogs. And what’s amazing is each week, I’ve just been amazed by the progress.” Ehlers said the key thing he’s learned from the class is to assert leadership. “The main thing is establishing yourself basically as the leader of the pack, and learning that you need to correct the dog. And you need to correct them firmly, but you need to praise them more,” he said. “The rule is one part correction, two parts praise.” Ehlers now takes Ralph when he runs his errands to the bank or auto parts store, and doesn’t worry about having him off leash in public. “I take him with me off leash and he sits next to me,” he said. Roxanne Sedor and her husband enrolled their two 18-month-old Finnish spitz dogs in the course. Named Ranger and Starlight, the brother and sister were initially a challenging combo. “They were totally unruly.
Absolutely unruly,” Sedor said. Sedor, who chose to train Ranger while her husband Michael trained Starlight, said the two dogs have gone from pulling on their leashes and ignoring commands to obeying requests to sit and stay by their sides. Ranger, who was particularly hyperactive, has made significant progress, she said. “He needs to work on all of it to get better, but he’s done 100 percent better,” she said. Sedor said she thinks the two dogs enjoy the special attention the training affords. “Because they spend time with us,” she said. “That helps.” Hostetter — who currently owns six dogs — said she sees how important dogs can be to owners. “One of the questions I ask my students is, ‘How many of you has rescued a dog?’ And a lot of people raise their hands. And then I say, ‘How may of you have been rescued by your dogs?’ And and a lot more hands go up,” she said. “These dogs just have a way of reaching us at our heart because they’re so wonderful. And so, a lot of dogs rescue people.” Reach Erin Thompson at ethompson@peninsulaclarion. com.

. . . Bill Continued from page A1
with disability service providers, service recipients, advocates and parents at Hope Community Resources’ building on Kalifornsky Beach Road in Soldotna on Saturday. Sen. Peter Micciche (R-Soldotna), who was the bill’s original sponsor in the Legislature, thanked Walker for the ceremony in Soldotna. He sponsored the bill after working with advocates and professionals. Reinhart said the language was designed by a group of people with developmental disabilities, service providers and advocates who wanted to make sure that services in the future follow a person-directed model. The recent budget cuts at the state level, including to Medicaid services, did play a role in the discussions, but weren’t the sole impetus, he said. The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services is already fairly person-directed and focused on home- and community-based services, but the new language cements that intent, he said. “We have a state that has placed a high priority on home and community-based services,” he said. “We’ve had several decades of that. It’s not like we were shifting something majorly, it’s just while we’re here, while we have a group of people who truly believe in this, let’s put it down right in our statutes.” Micciche said at the ceremony the bill follows the state’s move away from institutional-

izing people with disabilities, thus helping to reduce the cost of care and keep people in their communities. “What we realized is you’re not a number,” he said. “You are Alaskans just like us with the same hopes and dreams. Alaskans with disabilities deserve the opportunity to have active lives.” He also credited Kenai resident Maggie Winston, who also chairs the Council on Disabilities and Special Education, with much of the work behind the bill. Winston said at the ceremony that she was happy the state took the leadership on this type of care for people with disabilities. “The language that’s in this
Around Alaska Murkowski, state officials host hearing about housing issues in Savoonga ANCHORAGE (AP) — State officials heard from residents and groups on St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea in a first of its kind meeting to address housing overcrowding and affordability in rural Alaska. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski chaired the hearing in Savoonga, saying about 27 percent of households in Alaska’s Bering Strait region are classified as overcrowded or severely overcrowded, KTVA-TV reported Monday. The area’s overcrowding is more than 4.3 times higher than the statewide average and more than 8.3 times the national average, Murkowski said. Overcrowding is also higher among American Indian and Alaska Native households.
bill is going to guide our state and encourage meaningful lives for individuals, for providers, and really strengthen our communities in doing so,” she said. The final version of the bill states that the Legislature finds that “self-direction and autonomy enhance quality of life” to help people live their lives and that “The people of the state share a vision of a flexible system of support” for people with disabilities to participate actively in managing their support services. Reinhart said the Council on Disabilities and Special Education would next be taking on the challenge of clearly defining what “person-directed” means, particularly for
individuals with limited communication ability or cognitive disabilities, and ensuring a quality workforce to support people in working toward their goals. The state will be evaluating its policies to make sure they fit with the vision statement outlined in the bill, he said. “(The Division of Senior and Disability Services) is pretty good about wanting person-centered plans, with people developing those plans from the get-go,” he said. “They did do that already, but now they have an overarching philosophy that they can always point to.” Reach Elizabeth Earl at eearl@peninsulaclarion.com.
“I think it is important to point out that overcrowding in Indian Country is often the expression of what is actually homelessness, with families taking in relatives or community members who otherwise could not find affordable housing options,” Murkowski said. “It is not uncommon for a household in rural Alaska to have multiple generations or multiple families living in them.” Homelessness in Savoonga can be deadly because of the severe winters, so many families live in overcrowded conditions rather than risk lives, said Christopher Kolerok, president and CEO of the Bering Straits Regional Housing Authority. “Overcrowded housing and the lack of housing are interchangeable conditions in rural Alaska,” Kolerok said. “The lack of safe, sanitary and affordable housing threatens the survival of Native cultures and the villages and towns many Alaska Natives call home. For American Indians and Alaska Natives, overcrowded housing is a manifestation of what would be unsheltered homelessness in other parts of the country.”

Crossword
Couple fights to repair broken marriage after man’s infidelity DEAR ABBY: We are good friends with a couple who have taken two very nice vacations a year for the last several years. We are all in our late 60s. When they book their trips, they intentionally fail to include ground transportation to and from the airport. They rely on having friends take them. The airport is about 45 minutes Abigail Van Buren from where we live. They never offer to cover gas or parking for the trips. I feel it’s inconsiderate and poor manners. The wife is a very good friend. Her husband books the vacations, and she has to do the “begging.” My husband and I take a limo to the airport. None of us lack the money for vacations. We now just make excuses to not accommodate them. I would appreciate your opinion. Should we just tell them the truth? -- AGGRAVATED IN ATLANTA DEAR AGGRAVATED: By all means tell your close friend the truth. And when you do,
pass along the name and number of the limo company you use. DEAR ABBY: My wife passed away six years ago. I have finally reached a point where I’m ready to not be alone anymore. The problem is I’m interested in one of her sisters. I love and care for the whole family, and it would devastate me to lose them by revealing it. Am I way off base to even think of pursuing it? Should I drop it or talk with her to find out her thoughts? Maybe I shouldn’t try because it’s not “normal,” but I am interested in the possibility. -- FORBIDDEN LOVE IN TEXAS DEAR FORBIDDEN LOVE: This situation isn’t as unusual as you may think. In biblical times, when a woman lost her husband, it was expected that his brother would marry her. If your late wife’s sister is single, tell her how you feel. You have known her long enough that those feelings may or may not be mutual -- but no law says you can’t find out. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2018: This year the do-gooder and lover of humanity in you come out. Ask yourself whether you are actually doing what you need to, or are just giving for no reason. If you are single, others might find getting involved with you complicated at best. You do not say “yes” unless you mean it. If you are attached, make plenty of time for your significant other. Sometimes you get too involved with your own life. ARIES often wants you to commit to another cause. 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 grumbling to yourself. Someone seems to have used the word “impossible” when discussing one of your goals. Instead of adding stress to your day, let go of the comment and do something just for you. Visit with a loved one, if you can. Tonight: Impulsiveness works. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might think to yourself that someone is a bit off and in no way grounded. Sometimes saying less is better. Keep your thoughts to yourself for now. Plans could rapidly change during the day, but you will like the final results. Embrace spontaneity. Tonight: All smiles. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You are full of fun and energy. Be more aware of what is happening around you. A partner or coworker could be going behind your back. If someone becomes effusive with praise, then you might be eye to eye with a hypocrite. Tonight: Let off some steam with friends.
Rubes
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Confusion and a lack of clear communication might be familiar to you. You won’t be drawing this energy to yourself, but you are sensitive to it. You read people well, and often get what they really mean to say. Others will be seeking you out. Tonight: Count on a late dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Sometimes an invitation to a fun happening should not be turned down. Dive into work early on so that you can return to these fun thoughts later. You could be putting too much energy into an event, which is likely to result in disappointment. Tonight: Take a long walk by water. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Try another approach, or do something differently from how you have done it in the recent past. A boss or parent could start becoming more argumentative. You might want to distance yourself, as this person clearly needs to work through a personal issue. Tonight: Out late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Once more, you have decided to go along with someone else’s agenda. Think of the implications involved in this action. You tend to make decisions that attempt to keep the peace, but perhaps others would like to see more of your choices. Tonight: You call the shots. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You finally see eye to eye with an individual who often disagrees with you. When you both decide to work on a project, you find the process easy. Why not bend a little more frequently? Support a close friend or loved one in

completing a long-desired goal. Tonight: Take a break. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Be aware of the cost of making a certain choice. You could cause yourself significant angst if you don’t rein in your spending. You might want to buy a token of appreciation for a loved one; keep your budget in mind, and you won’t have a problem. Tonight: Accept an offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You see the source of mixed messages, but you also have a difficult time deciding which path would work best for you. You will know when you make the right decision. Others smile when you are more content. Zero in on an offer. Tonight: Make loved ones a higher priority. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Express your feelings clearly. You might be dependent on the other party involved. If possible, avoid a labyrinth of confusing comments. If you cannot get to a resolution, try another way. Reach out to someone at a distance in order to get a new perspective. Tonight: At a favorite place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Be as clear as possible when dealing with a partner or close loved one. Somehow, this person might not be understanding your words as you mean them. You might need to slow down what you are doing in order to clear the air. Tonight: Use your imagination, and you’ll land well.

CRYING IN OHIO Dear Heloise: How can I keep onions from making me cry when I’m cutting them? -- Lillian B., Brunswick, Ohio Lillian, the best way is to keep those onions refrigerated until you need to cut them. The cooler the onion, the fewer the tears. Or try keeping your mouth tightly closed while cutting them. Some of my readers have suggested cutting or peeling onions under cold running water. -- Heloise STORING SHARP KNIVES Dear Heloise: I have some very expensive, and very sharp, kitchen knives that I don’t want to just toss in a drawer. How can I store them properly to keep them sharp? -- Valerie K., Preston, Idaho Valerie, there are magnetic strips today that keep knives separated and close at hand, or you also could take an empty coffee can, fill it with rice and store your knives blade down in the rice. -- Heloise GREASE DOWN THE DRAIN Dear Heloise: My grandmother says it’s OK to pour grease down the drain if you keep running hot water for several seconds afterward. Is that correct? -- Inez G., Socorro, N.M. Never, ever pour grease down your drains, even if you have hot water running. If you keep flushing grease down your drain, somewhere in your future is a clogged drain and, very possibly, an expensive plumber’s bill. - Heloise BLEACHING THE KITCHEN SINK Dear Heloise: I like to fill my sink with water and bleach and let it sit for a few minutes to clean it. The results are very nice, and it doesn’t seem to damage my sink like an abrasive cleaner would. -- Jean D., Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 23 years. A month ago, he slept with my daughter’s best friend. As soon as it happened, he told me what he’d done. He said he felt like I didn’t love him anymore and admitted he made a mistake. I can tell he truly feels ashamed. Nonetheless I am hurting, confused, angry, and I can’t stop having visions of the two of them together. We are trying to make our marriage work. I love him, and I can’t picture my life without him, but I can’t stop torturing myself. I have to let this go if our marriage is going to work. Do you have any suggestions to help me with this? -- TORTURING MYSELF IN ALABAMA DEAR TORTURING YOURSELF: Yes, I do have one. But before I offer it, let me point out that all of the emotions you are feeling are normal under the circumstances. Because you want to make your marriage work, with the help of a licensed marriage and family counselor, you and your husband should analyze what led to his infidelity. Your doctor should be able to refer you at the same time he or she gives you both the results of your STD examinations.

KSC Crew served up a turkey dinner with all the trimmings at Old Timers Lunch.
Families of pioneer doc’s host Old Timers Lunch Over two decades ago, homesteaders Peggy Arness, Joanna Hollier and Donnis Thompson started what they called the “Old Timers Lunch.” Some of the homesteaders been meeting regularly on Thursday’s to keep up with old friendships and Peggy and Joanna thought it would be fun to get everyone together on a yearly basis to share stories and stay in touch. For the next 20 years, the dynamic duo planned and organized the Old Timers Lunch held at the Kenai Senior Center. Then the ladies decided it was time to turn the popular event over to the next generation and in 2016 former Kenai Mayor
Pat Porter took up the challenge and came up with the idea of having a pioneer host family each year. In 2017 it was the Navarre family, and this year the Isaak and Gaede families were selected to share their history. Dr. Isaak and Dr. Gaede were the first physicians to open practices in Soldotna and built the first medical clinic which evolved to be Central Peninsula Hospital. Both doctors lived on homesteads with airstrips they cleared by hand so they could make fly-in house calls and take patients to Anchorage if need be.

Elks rally service organizations to answer the call Back-to-school supplies are not the large box of crayons, drawing paper, pencils, eraser and scissors that they once were. No doubt getting a child ready for back to school can be a stretch for the family budget, increase to the credit card debt and cause of family stress. That’s why the Soldotna Elks have stepped up and joined with five community service organizations to help relieve kids and families in need. “It’s something we have thought about and kicked around for the last few years because last fall after school started we became aware of the need and we were a little late so we decided to be a little more serious about it because we had one of our members who was shopping for school supplies and while in the store noticed a woman crying in the same isle

she was in because she was upset that she couldn’t afford all the supplies she needed for her child to go back to school,” said Ryan Howlett, Soldotna Elks trustee and past president. “So she decided to help her out and buy her what she needed. She came back to the lodge and told us the story and that was what locked the idea in for us and we decided we needed to do something for other families in the same situation. So we started contacting other service organizations to lend a hand with our Back-to-School Supply drive and the VFW Post# 10046 and their Auxiliary, the American Legion and their Auxiliary,
AmVets and their Auxiliary and the Eagles Auxiliary all stepped up and together we raised over $4,000 to shop for back to school supplies.” “This is an example of what we do in this community,” said Mike Meredith, past Commander of VFW Post # 10046 in Soldotna. “All of our community service organizations get together when there is a need and this is an example of what we can get done when we pull together,” he added. It was an early morning shopping spree for many of the lady members of the auxiliary. “And we appreciated their effort — no 7 a.m. at the
box stores for me,” laughed Howlett. Supplies included backpacks, calculators, glue sticks, washable markers, notepads, tape, earbuds for computers, notebooks and all the basic back to school supplies elementary school kids need. “The list is pretty extensive, a lot of things I didn’t need when I went to school,” said Howlett, “And it all adds up and be quite a surprise for a parent who is

Gaede Eighty homestead, told of his experience growing up in the early years of Soldotna and what the Old Timers Lunch meant to him. “It feels kind of good to know that people still care about those kind of things,” Gaede said. “Nowadays things are so fast-paced, sometimes we don’t stop and remember the people who had an influence on us when we were growing up and to be able to share some of that was special. We grew up in a very unique time on the Kenai Peninsula where we saw it go from a blossoming community to what it is today and to be part of that history and share it and know that people appreciated it was fun. Life still was busy and had a fast pace, yet the pool of people you interacted with was smaller so it was a very different fast pace. Dad was either cutting trees on the homestead, going hunting or at the clinic doing medicine, it was busy.” The eldest of the Isaak clan, Karen Isaak-Encelewski, recalled growing up on their rather isolated homestead. “Sometimes we’d walk to
school and sometimes we’d catch a ride,” she said. “At the time, we moved from Seward which was such a beautiful place with ocean and mountains to Soldotna, where there only a few buildings along the highway and there were no seagulls and no alders to play in and it seemed very stark and the homestead was pretty isolated. But now I’m very thankful the experiences that I had growing up and the way we were raised and the friendships you made. I as shy and I came in 5th grade and I was really afraid of changing schools, but all the kids were so friendly and welcoming. I hear stories today about how catty little girls can be and how people have a hard time fitting in when they first go to school and my entering into elementary school in 1962 was absolutely fabulous and the kids were all great. Back to school was much more simple back then all you needed were the basics. There were 4th-6th grades in one room and two teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin, and they had total control of that classroom. It was absolutely amazing when I look at the difficulties teachers have today keeping kids attention, there is a drastic difference between school today and back

then in terms of freedom. As I was recalling my experiences back then it was the freedom that stood out for both Mark and I. Kids today will never
know what it is to be totally free to play and go wherever you want to play without thinking about checking in at a certain time or having my cell
phone with me and making sure I’m safe when I’m playing, that feeling is no more for kids,” said Encelewski. Yet the children today live

To all of them we say “thank you for your ongoing service.”
