In the news Indictment issued in Juneau crash that killed Florida man JUNEAU (AP) — A Juneau, Alaska, grand jury has indicted a 26-year-old man on felony charges in a fatal traffic crash on a southeast Alaska island.

The Juneau Empire reports the grand jury last week indicted Dylan Wiard of Juneau on counts of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and driving under the influence.

Online court documents do not list Wiard’s attorney.

The rollover crash occurred on June 24, 2016, near Hoonah (HOO-nah), a village on the northeast shore of Chichagof (CHICH-ah-gawf) Island about 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of Juneau.

A Tampa Bay, Florida, man, 23-year-old Jeffrey Turner, died in the crash.

Wiard was flown to Juneau’s Bartlett Regional Hospital for treatment of injuries. Charging documents say his blood-alcohol content was above the legal limit within four hours of the crash.

Unclear when bodies from Denali plane crash can be recovered TALKEETNA (AP) — Officials at Alaska’s Denali National Park say they’re working to determine if and when they can start trying to recover the bodies of several people killed a sightseeing plane crash.

The plane with a pilot and four Polish tourists aboard crashed Saturday on a mountain ridge near the top of Denali, North America’s tallest peak.

The crash occurred in rough terrain, on a hanging glacier which traverses a crevasse.

Poor weather prevented any rescue efforts until a ranger reached the area Monday. He confirmed four people were dead and the fifth was missing and presumed dead.

The pilot has been identified as Craig Layson of Michigan. Park officials say the names of the four Polish passengers aren’t being released at the request of the Polish Embassy in Los Angeles.

Man indicted for 3rd time in 2014 car crash

By ERIN THOMPSON Peninsula Clarion

Kenai prosecutors are trying for a third time to convict a man involved in a 2014 Christmas Day car crash that caused a young girl to lose both her legs.

Larry E. Pyatt, 32, was arraigned in Kenai court Tuesday on nine counts, including charges of assault, driving under the influence, reckless driving, reckless endangerment and sixth-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance.

In 2014, Pyatt swerved into a vehicle stopped along the northbound shoulder of the Sterling Highway near Anchor Point after mistaking the headlights of a second vehicle — which was rendering assistance — for oncoming traffic, according to court documents.

A 29-year-old pregnant woman and her 11-year-old daughter — who was pinned between the two stopped cars —

his system, and a THC level of 4.9 nanograms per milliliters, according to the court records.

Pyatt was indicted several months later on one count of driving under the influence, a class A misdemeanor; one count of reckless driving, an unclassified misdemeanor; one count of sixth-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance, a class B misdemeanor; one count of first-degree assault, a class A felony; three counts of third-degree assault, a class C felony; and one count of reckless endangerment, and class A misdemeanor.

In May 2017, all but the sixth-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance were dismissed by a judge.

Prosecutors re-indicted Pyatt on the same charges several days after that dismissal. Those charges were dismissed again in April by Superior Court Judge Charles T. Huguelet, who granted a defense motion to suppress the results of See CRASH, page A8

were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, according to previous Clarion reporting.

Pyatt, who suffered minor injuries, was interviewed by troopers several hours after the accident and reportedly admitted to drinking a beer, taking prescription medication and smoking marijuana from a water pipe earlier in the day.

He also told troopers he had suffered a previous traumatic brain injury, according to court documents.

At the time of the interview, Pyatt successfully completed several sobriety tests and registered a .000 in a preliminary breath test. Troopers noted a slight lack of convergence — or the inability to cross one’s eyes, and read Pyatt an implied consent warning, according to court documents. Under Alaska law, a person arrested for a DUI has already given consent to a chemical test.

Pyatt’s toxicology screen indicated that he had no prescription medication in

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District leadership is exploring the most important infrastructure projects in local schools as part of its Six-Year Capital Improvement Plan, that will run from 2020–2025.

At Monday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Board of Education’s work session, members discussed roofing projects, a new track, a new school and other projects. The plan is still in the works and will be approved by the board members at a later date.

The capital plan’s highest priority is addressing overcrowding at Nanwalek school.

Built in 1958 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the school has received two additions in 1977 and 1984. According to 2010 census data, Nanwalek’s population is 254, more than twice as many people recorded in the 1980 census.

According to the Six-Year Capital Improvement Plan, Nanwalek School is at 140 percent capacity, with next year’s expectations at 175 percent capacity. The school services students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

There are currently more than 80 students, with approximately half in the elementary and half in secondary.

The board discussed two options. The first option, which is being recommended by the district administrators, is to build a joint middle and high school facility that would cost approximately $25 million, according to the plan’s projections.

The second option is to build two 960 square foot annexes that could provide classroom space for up to 23 students. The district administrators estimate the cost to

Though multiple bills have overhauled the criminal justice system in Alaska in the past few years, the tone of discussion on crime on the central Kenai Peninsula hasn’t changed much.

People still readily packed out a public meeting Monday to express their frustration with the crime rate in the area, particularly property crime and repeat offenders. More than 50 people filled the chairs at a town hall meeting hosted by Sen. Peter Micciche (R-Soldotna) with a number of state criminal justice officials — including Kenai Police Chief Dave Ross and Alaska Department of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan — to voice similar concerns about crime rates that they have been for about the last five or six years.

Much of the commentary at the meeting was focused

on Senate Bill 91, an omnibus criminal justice reform bill the Legislature passed in 2016. The bill was meant to reduce the incarcerated population in the state and address other systemic issues, such as increasing the mandatory minimum sentence for murder and changing the state’s bail system. However, because it reduced the penalties for some lower-level crimes like car theft and first-time drug offenses, many saw it as exacerbating the problem of serial theft.

“I voted for the bill, along with almost everyone in the Legislature,” Micciche said at the meeting. “And it became quite apparent soon afterward that we had some things to correct.”

Micciche said the Legislature has passed a number of bills making adjustments to the changes made in SB 91 but that Alaska Department of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan addresses a crowd gathered further substantive changes will at a town hall meeting on crime at the Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center on Monday in Kenai.

be needed.

The leaders of the Alaska Department of Law are meeting to discuss recommendations for changes to make to the governor but are not ready to make them public yet, said John Skidmore, the director of the Department of Law’s criminal division. The Department of Law has recommended the Legislature not completely repeal SB 91, as some senators were ready to do, because the law contained some positive changes and revoking it would go back to a system that needed changes, Skidmore said.

Though the overall number of felony referrals the criminal division has received has been going down since 2014, the number of more serious crimes — like kidnapping and assault — has been going up, Skidmore said. The largest area of decrease is in drug crimes, which was downgraded from a felony to a misdemeanor.

“The number of felony assaults we have filed in the last five years has gone up dramatically,” he said. “The number

of felony assaults has gone up.

The number of felony property offenses has gone up. Those are all indicative to us that there are issues there … what’s important to us is that our office is seeing, while there’s fewer felonies, we have more of what I consider to be more serious felonies.”

Ross said Kenai, like many communities around Alaska, has been seeing a steady increase in crime. He told the crowd that the Kenai Police Department’s total number of arrests increased 20 percent last year, with reports of burglary and vehicle theft up. The state needs to take a look at repeat offenders particularly, he said.

“We’re dealing with a plethora of low-level crime,” he said.

The Soldotna Police Department is dealing with similar crime statistics, said Sergeant Duane Kant at the meeting.

The increase isn’t unique to the peninsula — the Alaska State Troopers are seeing it in their jurisdiction as well, said Alaska State Troopers Director Hans Brinke.

Brinke, Monegan and Public Safety Employees Association President Doug Massey all emphasized the problem with recruitment for the Alaska State

Troopers. The state has had trouble attracting, hiring and retaining troopers, and though there are more trainees in the academy now than in the past, it’s still going to be a struggle to keep up with workforce, Monegan said.

Massey said it takes about $200,000 to train a trooper to be ready for service. On top of that, many of the command staff are eligible for retirement or soon will be. The public safety employees union and department leaders have been working together on legislation to increase pay for troopers to help, but it may not solve the problem immediately, he said.

“If you just add more positions right now that doesn’t fix the problem,” he said. “We need to fill the vacancies we have now.”

Skidmore also said budget cuts have affected the criminal division because of the loss of staff. The Legislature has added some funds back, which helps, but that to do an effective job, the division needs enough funding to pay enough staff.

Many of the attendees who commented expressed frustration at watching people who are arrested be released again

Q On July 28, a Fairbanks Wildlife Trooper was on patrol on the Kenai River when he contacted Sarochin Thananchayanon, 50, of Anchorage who had been dipnetting.

Investigation revealed that Thananchayanon unlawfully failed to record, in ink, all personal use caught fish on their 2018 Upper Cook Inlet Personal Use Fishing Permit prior to concealing the fish from plain view and/or taking the fish from the fishing site.

They were subsequently issued a citation for the offense, with bail set at $110 in Kenai District Court.

and reoffend. The state has been working on ways to reduce recidivism — the rate at which people who serve time in prison commit crimes again and return to jail — and SB 91 was in part meant to address that. A number of people said they specifically came because they wanted to see an arrest in the case of Kasilof-area resident Travis Stubblefield, who died June 21 after a conflict in a Kasilof home. Skidmore said the investigation is ongoing in that case and the criminal division has not received a criminal charge referral from the Alaska State Troopers, who are investigating the circumstances of that case.

Most people who spoke urged the state to be tougher on criminal sentencing, with longer sentences and some asked for the Legislature to establish a capital punishment structure. Micciche said the Senate Majority agreed that the law should be tougher on criminals and that he wanted to see offenders with a substance abuse issue be offered an alternative of drug treatment or incarceration.

What Others Say

Voter suppression doesn’t matter if voters don’t care Have you heard? Turnout for the

November general election is expected to be so high that election officials have decided to add a second day of voting.

They’re asking Democrats to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 6, and Republicans to vote on Wednesday, Nov. 7.

Hardy-har-har.

We’ve heard various iterations of this joke over the years.

Depending on who’s telling it, sometimes the joke is on Democrats, sometimes it’s on Republicans. We’re reasonably sure we even smiled the first time. We’re quite sure we knew it wasn’t serious.

So should it be a crime? It could be under the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2018.

Proponents of this proposed federal legislation — one of the bill’s sponsors is Alabama Sen. Doug Jones — likely would say that it’s not intended to apply to such instances. This latest version of a bill that has been introduced at least four other times over the last dozen years cites numerous instances of organized, intentional attempts to dissuade particular groups of voters from going to the polls by using “deceptive practices.”

The bill would make these practices illegal within 60 days of an election with a federal office on the ballot, and defines them as involving “the dissemination of false or misleading information intended to prevent voters from casting their ballots, prevent voters from voting for the candidate of their choice, intimidate the electorate, and undermine the integrity of the electoral process.”

Sounds serious, and indeed the penalties for a violation would be relatively stiff — up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000. Clearly, this would stop some bad actors. But crafting a law that would fairly distinguish innocent or protected political speech from electoral sabotage is not that simple, and this one raises questions about unintended consequences.

What about someone who tells the above joke? What about a flier that shows up in mailboxes on the Saturday before an election that denigrates a candidate with ambiguous allegations? Who decides what someone’s intent was or when some “practice” rises to the level of a violation? Might an overzealous, partisan prosecutor try to make an example of someone in the hyper-polarized political environment we’re living in now? We’d rather not leave it to chance.

Anyone who meets the legal criteria for voting — and the purpose of those criteria should be to ensure free and fair elections — should not face any other impediments to casting a ballot. Lost in all this wailing and gnashing of teeth over voter suppression, however, is the notion of voter responsibility. Exercising the franchise should entail some buy-in on the part of the prospective voter, some effort to be aware of and understand election laws and current events.

Without a doubt, efforts to undermine elections are increasingly a serious concern — today’s technology makes even the most sophisticated among us susceptible to deceit.

Yet we are more troubled by voter apathy than by the prospect of nefarious attempts to keep voters from the polls.

When turnout for many elections falls below 50 percent of registered voters, and often is far lower for run-offs and special measures, who needs suppression?

Classic Doonesbury, 1990

By GARRY TRUDEAU

With apologies to Dr. Seuss’ Grinch

(A note from your writer: So much of what happens these days in the political realm is utter nonsense. Why not tell it in verse? At least there will be rhyme with no reason.)

Every Who in Whomerica likes freedom a lot, But the Trump who lives here in Washington, Does Not! The Trump hates democracy, to the point of malfeasance.

Now please don’t ask why, we all know the reasons.

It could be his head isn’t screwed on just right, It could be, perhaps, that his pants are too tight.

But I think the most likely reason may be That he has a brain that’s the size of a pea.

Whatever the reason, his pants or his brain, He manages to be a perennial pain.

He’s teamed up with his Russian friend Putin, Although he insists that there was no collusion.

He fires angry tweets at many question-

ing Whos; He lets fly with charges that they’re spreading “fake news.”

If he could he’d attack them, perhaps with an ax Instead of relying on “alternative facts.” Bob Franken He rages and rages to all he may face, And riles up the yay-Whos who make up his base.

He’s often at rallies; there’s no limit where he’ll go To sop up the love, satisfying his ego.

His most rabid of followers think he’s just great.

They adore what he says, as he spews out his hate Against immigrants, media, other critics he’d silence, Whipping them up to a frenzy until they’re near violence.

Never mind it’s all lies, misrepresentments, He pushes their buttons, the politics of resentments.

His supporters are not just these deplorable souls, His true power comes from the internet trolls.

They would steal our democracy, and not only a Russian heist, There’s a real danger here coming from the alt-right.

They call themselves that, but they’re fascists and bigots.

When it comes to the hate, they would turn on the spigots, They’re fanatics and crazy, but also effective, After all, one of their own has gotten elected.

The Trump’s stealing democracy, taking it away inch by inch.

He’s not like Dr. Seuss and his wonderful Grinch Seuss wrote a classic, a true snappy rendering Our saga may not have any such happy ending.

It is possible that unless we resist Whomerica’s freedoms will no longer exist.

Letters to the Editor

Anything less at this point in time will lead to the eventual loss of all of the above salmon species, coast-wide, in little more than a decade.

As Mr Fjelstad stated in his letter, “I don’t think future generations would appreciate or understand why we allowed Alaska’s king salmon populations to be decimated.”

John A. Anderson Kenai

Here’s what his web site says: “Mead Treadwell built a successful business career as a high technology entrepreneur who helped start companies that compete in today’s global marketplace. One of them developed the digital watermarking system that helps protect world currencies and DVDs from counterfeiting. Another introduced the high tech camera that launched Google’s Street View, MapQuest 360 View, and was used by our U.S. military’s street level mapping programs in Afghanistan and Iraq to protect our troops and save lives.”

Well, that impresses me; I’m pretty good with current computer stuff but I have to admit I will sometimes ask my son to fix my phone. I’ll bet Mead doesn’t have to do that!

Again, he’s the only Republican candidate with this complete profile of government, political and business experience.

The only one!

There’s one more thing you need to know about him: he was a single father raising his children. His wife died of brain cancer and he talks about having three children and a minivan, then says his children raised him well. I like that modesty.

I too am a single father. And I know plenty of single mothers. This man, Mead Treadwell, personally understands the difficulties we as single parents have faced and do face raising our children in this fastpaced world, but keeping family values at the top of the list.

I also strongly believe two of our greatest Alaska statesmen, the late governor Hickel and the late U.S. senator Ted Stevens would have without a doubt supported Mead for governor.

So, I’m supporting Mead Treadwell for Governor and ask you to join me on Aug. 21, the primary election, and vote for him.

Neal D. DuPerron Chairman Alaska Republican Party District 30

User groups must band together to help kings Regarding the article “Kings need our help” that ran in the Anchorage Daily News, 7/26/18.

In his letter Mr. Fjelstad says 1.5 billion hatchery pinks will result in lower returns of red and king salmon.

First of all red and king salmon don’t even eat the same food as pink salmon.

And secondly, silvers, chums and kings, being three, four and five year returning species, move much deeper and further out into the Gulf of Alaska’s upwelling than do pink salmon and reds. Kings being much larger and containing more fat are able to move well into the Pacific becoming vulnerable to multinational trawler fleets whose record of violation of international fishery law is well documented.

As well, we have the U.S. trawlers with their alleged incidental catch records. The answer to the king problem is the same as with all other salmon species whose numbers come in at lower counts each year. For the sport fish lobby to suggest denying ay other user group their constitutional right of access to a common resource will put the sport and commercial user groups right where the politically powerful international packing corporations want them — at each others’ throats. Closing any king salmon fishery to any user group will only enhance the harvest levels of king, silver and chum salmon for the foreign fleets. So all user groups of the above mentioned species must now be prudent enough to move the federal court for declaratory judgment against joint foreign and U.S. packing companies as well as to enjoin the North Pacific Fishery Management Council as third-party defendant for criminal acts in the management of U.S. fishery resources.

Support Mead Treadwell for governor in primary election Mead Treadwell is a Republican candidate for governor and I’m supporting him.

Here’s why: First of all, the only candidates who are against the Permanent Fund Dividend are not Republicans. They’re the “other guys.”

I’m proud that all the Republican candidates want you to continue to have your dividend. All of them agree on that; there are no differences among them on that issue.

But Mead is the only Republican candidate with government, political and business experience.

For government service, he interned for Wally Hickel and eventually served as Deputy DEC commissioner under Governor Hickel. He was co-founder, with Hickel, of the Yukon Pacific Corporation, and Chair of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission under President Bush. He’s a global expert on Arctic policy and economics.

Politically, he served as Alaska’s 13th Lt. Governor, elected in 2010. You won’t find problems with the Division of Elections when he was Lt. Governor like you hear about today. He was responsible. He did the job effectively and quietly – no issues with the voting precincts; thank you Mead!

He’s a businessman, an entrepreneur; he doesn’t need a government paycheck.

Nation/World Group: US energy panel full of insiders

By MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press

BILLINGS, Mont. — Conservationists claimed in a lawsuit filed Tuesday that a Trump administration committee reviewing royalties paid by companies on fossil fuels extracted from public lands is stacked with industry supporters who conduct some meetings in secret.

The Western Organization of Resource Councils asked a federal judge in Montana to disband the U.S. Interior Department’s Royalty Policy Committee and strike down its recommendations.

The 20-person panel — comprised of representatives from industry, state government, tribes and academia — was established last year by U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

It’s supposed to find ways to remove barriers to drilling and mining, while making sure taxpayers aren’t shortchanged by energy companies. Zinke in April rejected the committee’s recommendation to lower royalty rates for offshore .

Critics allege the panel has made one-sided recommendations that favor industry and weaken environmental protections. Those include calls to

speed up oil and gas lease sales in the Arctic, hasten approvals for new drilling and allow coal companies to largely self-determine the value of fuel they sell on the export market.

“It’s basically the fox guarding the hen house,” said Steve Charter, a rancher from Roundup, Montana and board member of the Western Organization of Resource Councils.

“That committee is supposed to be representing all interests, but it’s been pretty much totally stacked with industry and some Western states with a real strong development bias,” he added.

Soon after forming the committee last year, Zinke lifted a moratorium on coal sales from public lands. The moratorium was imposed under President Barack Obama because of concerns over climate change and to investigate if coal companies were skirting royalty rules with their exports to Asia.

The royalty committee has held at least four public meetings since last September. Tuesday’s lawsuit alleges subcommittees from the panel have met privately, with no public notice, to craft their recommendations.

Zinke spokeswoman Heather Swift declined to comment

directly on the lawsuit or the allegations of secret subcommittee meetings. She said it was “inaccurate” to suggest the committee was dominated by industry.

“It’s not even a majority industry. Further, for the first time ever the committee includes representatives from renewable energy,” Swift said.

Six of the committee’s primary members come from the energy industry. Six are from energy-producing states — including Wyoming, Texas and Alaska — and four represent American Indian reservations with significant fossil fuel re-

serves. The remaining four members are from universities and the firm Wood Mackenzie, which does consulting and research for the energy and mining industries.

University of Colorado Law School professor Mark Squillace, who has pushed for years to re-examine federal energy royalty rates, sought to serve on the committee but was not selected by Zinke.

He said its unsuccessful recommendation to lower royalty rates for offshore oil and gas drilling, from 18.75 percent to 12.5 percent, showed the panel’s bias toward industry.

Duterte threatens to kill corrupt police

By JIM GOMEZ Associated Press

MANILA, Philippines — Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday threatened to kill corrupt police, including those accused of involvement in illegal drugs and other crimes, in an expletives-laden encounter on live TV. More than 100 policemen, many of them facing administrative and criminal complaints including rape, kidnapping and robbery, were escorted to the presidential palace to meet Duterte, police officials said.

The national police, which Duterte once called “corrupt to the core,” have been undergoing an internal cleansing since they were removed twice from the president’s crackdown on illegal drugs last year due to reports of abuses. Duterte later allowed them to rejoin drug raids, partly because the small lead anti-narcotics agency lacks personnel and firepower to quell the drug menace.

“If you’ll stay like this, son of a bitch, I will really kill you,” Duterte told the policemen in

the dressing-down broadcast by local TV networks.

The cases of some of the policemen will be reviewed, but Duterte warned, “I have a special unit which will watch you for life and if you commit even a small mistake, I’ll ask that you be killed.”

Addressing the policemen’s families, Duterte said, “If these sons of bitches die, don’t come to us yelling ‘human rights, due process’ because I warned you already.”

Such public threats, along with the more than 4,500 mostly poor drug suspects who have been killed in gunbattles with police under Duterte’s antidrug crackdown, have triggered alarm by Western governments and human rights watchdogs since he rose to power in mid2016.

Duterte has vowed to press his campaign until the last day of his six-year term, often declaring that he is ready to go to jail, although he denies sanctioning extrajudicial killings. Police say nearly 150,000 drug suspects have been arrested and dozens of law enforcers have been killed in drug raids, proving the danger of

BRUSSELS — The United States and the European Union said Tuesday that they are seeking details about the arrest of women’s rights activists in Saudi Arabia, but they sidestepped a sensitive diplomatic dispute over the crackdown between the ultraconservative kingdom and Canada.

Saudi Arabia expelled the Canadian ambassador Monday and froze “all new business” with Ottawa over criticism of its arrest of women’s rights activists. Analysts say the dispute shows Saudi Arabia will reject any outside criticism and continue to flex its muscles abroad, especially as the kingdom enjoys a closer relationship with President Donald Trump.

Describing both countries as “friends” and “partners” of the U.S., the State Department on Tuesday called on both countries to resolve the issue “diplomatically.”

“We have raised (the issue) with the government of Saudi Arabia,” Heather Nauert said speaking to reporters in Washington. “The United States has respect for internationally recognized freedoms and also individual liberty — that certainly hasn’t changed.”

Nauert added that the United States “would encourage the government of Saudi Arabia

overall to address and respect due process.”

Questioned in Brussels about the tensions, European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said that “we have been seeking clarification from Saudi authorities” over a number of arrests since May. She said the European Commission wants to understand the

MEXICO CITY — President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador promised Tuesday to bring justice to the families of Mexico’s victims of violence, speaking at a “pacification and reconciliation” forum in the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez.

Lopez Obrador and members of his proposed security Cabinet held the first of a planned series of such meetings in the violence-stained border city, meeting with victims of violence, academics, authorities and others.

He gas promised a new approach to Mexico’s spiraling violence.

One controversial proposal is an amnesty for people who commit non-violent crimes. Lopez Obrador says people must forgive without forgetting.

Victims’ rights supporters briefly interrupted the forum at the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez.

On Aug. 3, the bodies of 11 people were found in a home in Juarez. Authorities announced the arrests of eight suspects Monday.

General Electric laying off 200 workers at turbine plant SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — General Electric says it’s laying off 200 hourly workers at its upstate New York plant that produces steam turbines for the company’s power unit.

Boston-based GE announced Tuesday that the layoffs include unionized manufacturing and assembly employees at its facilities in Schenectady (skeh-NEHK’-ta-dee), where Thomas Edison co-founded the company in 1892. Another 25 unfilled jobs will be eliminated.

GE Power unit spokesman Christopher Shigas says the layoffs come after a 45 percent drop in volume at the plant.

The Times Union of Albany reports GE employs about 4,000 workers at GE Power and other units in Schenectady.

The company employs another 1,500 at GE’s main research lab in the neighboring town of Niskayuna (nihs-kee-YOO’-nuh).

GE laid off 130 hourly workers at the Schenectady plant and Niskayuna facility in January.

Pakistan’s Imran Khan faces probe by anti-graft bureau PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A spokesman says Pakistan’s next prime minister, Imran Khan, has appeared before an anti-graft bureau in connection with his alleged misuse of a government helicopter.

Umair Khan, a spokesman for Khan’s Tahreek-e-Insaf party, says the National Accountability Bureau handed the premier-designate a questionnaire about the case on Tuesday.

The spokesman and the future prime minister are not related.

Imran Khan is to reply by the end of August.

Khan, a former cricket star, is accused of using the helicopter for private visits while his party governed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province from 2013 to 2018. This had reportedly cost the local authorities 2.17 million rupees, or $20,000.

Khan’s party won the most parliament seats in last month’s general elections and he is expected to take over as prime minister next week.

battling illegal drugs, which remain a major problem.

The Bureau of Customs and anti-drugs authorities announced Tuesday night the discovery of about half a ton (1,100 pounds) of methamphetamine, locally called shabu, concealed in two steel cylinders in two abandoned container vans at Manila’s interna-

tional container port in one of the largest drug seizures under Duterte.

Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency chief Aaron Aquino said the vans came from Malaysia, which a drug syndicate may be using as a transhipment point, but were never claimed at the Manila port because of stricter screenings.

allegations against the activists and to ensure they receive a fair trial.

On the diplomatic dispute, Kocijancic said that “we don’t comment on bilateral relations.” She said “we are in favor of a dialogue.”

The dispute appears centered around tweets by Canadian diplomats calling on the kingdom

to “immediately release” detained women’s rights activists.

Among the arrested activists is Samar Badawi, whose writer brother Raif Badawi was arrested in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and later sentenced to 1,000 lashes and 10 years in prison for insulting Islam while blogging.

He won Europe’s top human rights prize in 2015.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Aug. 8, the 220th day of 2018. There are 145 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon, facing damaging new revelations in the Watergate scandal, announced he would resign the following day.

On this date: In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte set sail for St. Helena to spend the remainder of his days in exile.

In 1911, President William Howard Taft signed a measure raising the number of U.S. representatives from 391 to 433, effective with the next Congress, with a proviso to add two more when New Mexico and Arizona became states.

In 1942, during World War II, six Nazi saboteurs who were captured after landing in the U.S. were executed in Washington, D.C.; two others who cooperated with authorities were spared.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed the U.S. instrument of ratification for the United Nations Charter. The Soviet Union declared war against Japan during World War II. In 1953, the United States and South Korea initialed a mutual security pact.

In 1963, Britain’s “Great Train Robbery” took place as thieves made off with 2.6 million pounds in banknotes.

In 1968, the Republican national convention in Miami Beach nominated Richard Nixon for president on the first ballot.

In 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew branded as “damned lies” reports he had taken kickbacks from government contracts in Maryland, and vowed not to resign -- which he ended up doing.

In 1993, in Somalia, four U.S. soldiers were killed when a land mine was detonated underneath their vehicle, prompting President Bill Clinton to order Army Rangers to try to capture Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

In 2000, the wreckage of the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, which sank in 1864 after attacking the Union ship Housatonic, was recovered off the South Carolina coast and returned to port.

In 2002, Saddam Hussein organized a big military parade and then warned “the forces of evil” not to attack Iraq as he sought once more to shift the debate away from world demands that he live up to agreements that ended the Gulf War. In 2009, Sonia Sotomayor was sworn in as the U.S. Supreme Court’s first Hispanic and third female justice.

Ten years ago: China opened the Summer Olympic Games with an extravaganza of fireworks and pageantry. A charter bus crashed near Sherman, Texas, killing 17 members of a Vietnamese-American Catholic group en route to Missouri. Former Democratic presidential candidate and vice-presidential nominee John Edwards admitted having an extramarital affair. Russia sent an armored column into the breakaway enclave of South Ossetia after Georgia launched an offensive to crush separatists there.

Five years ago: The U.S. sharply escalated its drone war in Yemen, with military officials in the Arab country reporting three strikes that left a dozen dead. Actress Karen Black, 74, who was featured in such counterculture favorites as “Easy Rider,” Five Easy Pieces” and “Nashville,” died in Los Angeles. Opera singer Regina Resnik, 90, died in New York.

One year ago: President Donald Trump said continued North Korean threats aimed at the United States would cause the U.S. to respond with “fire and fury like the world has never seen.” Venezuela’s new constitutional assembly, created by embattled President Nicolas Maduro, took over the halls of the opposition-controlled congress and decreed itself to be superior to all other branches of government. Singer Glen Campbell died in Nashville, Tennessee, at the age of 81; he had announced in 2011 that he’d been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Woods remains a mystery as PGA approaches

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

ST. LOUIS — Tiger Woods at times looks similar to the guy who won the PGA Championship four times among his 14 major titles, except for the results.

And except for the way he began the week of the final major of the year.

He took an ice bath.

“Just trying to get some inflammation down, and just trying to get ready for the rest of the week,” Woods said Tuesday, saying only that the inflammation was “everywhere,” without elaborating what caused it. “And a lot of stretching. Did a light lift yesterday and was ready to go for today.”

Little good that did him.

Rain pounded Bellerive Country Club, twice suspending practice rounds. Woods played only five holes on the course he last saw the day af-

ter the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a few hours before the American Express Championship was canceled.

He returns nearly as much of a mystery as when the year started.

Just over two weeks ago, Woods had full control of his shots and moved into the lead during the middle of the final round at the British Open. He was feeling so good about his game that he took an all-or-nothing shot out of a pot bunker on the 10th hole that he thought might be a deciding moment, and he pulled it off. And then he missed the birdie putt, made a double bogey on the next hole and faded away.

Still, it built even more hype about his chances heading into the PGA Championship — until he shot 73-73 on the weekend at Firestone, a course that he has dominated as much as any other.

It’s been like that all year.

He was one shot out of the lead on the back nine at consecutive tournaments in Florida, and then was never a factor at the Masters. He missed the cut in the U.S. Open, and then had a chance to win the British Open.

His health has held up nicely, especially coming off his fourth back surgery.

“There’s going to be certain days that I’m just not going to have the speed and the flexibility and the movement that I once did,” Woods said.

“I’m 42 now, and I’ve had four back surgeries. So things are going to be different from day to day, and it’s just about managing it. Before, I didn’t really have any of those issues early in my career because I didn’t have a fixed point in my back. My knee used to hurt a lot, but I could play around that.”

Woods last played in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in

2015, when he missed the cut in the PGA for the second straight year.

Woods has never been much for moral victories, though he has said throughout the year he considers himself “blessed” simply to be playing. There have been enough moments this year, however — Carnoustie would be one of them — that it wouldn’t be a surprise if he contended at Bellerive.

“He’s got all the components of the game,” Rory McIlroy said. “He’s learned how to make a swing work for him again. He’s learning to compete again. He’s learning what you have to do on the back nine of a major on Sunday. All those things, he’s been through. He’s building up all that ... I don’t want to say experience, but even though he’s won 14 of these things, if you haven’t done it for a while, you still have to re-learn a few things.”

Woods and McIlroy have won the

same number of majors over the last four years — none.

McIlroy has made progress in his own right, having gone some 18 months without a victory as he coped with a rib injury until he pulled away from Woods and the rest of the field to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

McIlroy since then has played in the final group three times, including at the Masters. He was in contention on the back nine at the British Open.

He still has only one victory this year and feels as though he should have won more.

“In golf, you just have to be an eternal optimist,” McIlroy said. “You have to make the most of everything you have to see the positives, and just move on and forget about. And that’s what I’ve tried to do this year.”

The rain interrupted a lot of schedules.

August fills up with tournaments

Seeking to blunt the momentum of the surging Nationals, Atlanta shook off a strong pitching performance by Max Scherzer before striking against the Washington bullpen in the second game.

Freddie Freeman and Nick Markakis singled off Kelvin Herrera (1-2) before Inciarte hit a liner down the first-base line.

WNBA’s Aces should have played despite tough travel schedule

T

he WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces thought they’d make a statement by refusing to play a game because they were tired from a long day of travel.

It didn’t quite turn out like they planned.

The team ended up forfeiting the game, which could very well cost it a spot in the playoffs. And the conversation that players wanted to start about the rigors of travel ended up falling on mostly deaf ears.

Turns out fans don’t want to hear about how tough it is to play basketball for a living.

They just want players to show up and play.

So does the WNBA, and with good reason. The league struggles enough to draw fans without inconveniencing and alienating those who have actually bought tickets for a game.

It had little choice on Tuesday but to hand the Aces a pivotal loss by declaring last week’s skipped game against the Washington Mystics a forfeit. That not only cost the Aces in the loss column but seriously damaged their chances of making the playoffs.

Score one for the fans who showed up in Washington with tickets for the game, only to be told to go home.

And score one against a players’ union that doesn’t seem to understand the WNBA is not the NBA, no matter how much the players want it to be.

There are no $40 million salaries in the WNBA, and certainly no private chefs. The flagship team plays most of its games in a 2,500-seat arena, and many players compete in overseas leagues to boost their paychecks.

And everyone flies commercial.

The last fact seems to be the sticking point with the WNBA’s players’ union, which would love nothing better than to have all players fly charter jets to games. Barring that, the union at least wants restrictions on games played while crossing two time zones or more.

The Aces provided a perfect test case, along with a chance to dramatize the difficulties of travel. Their original flight canceled, the Aces spent 26 hours traveling from Las Vegas to Washington, arriving midafternoon in the nation’s capital for a

S ports V iews T im D ahlberg game that night.

A tough day of travel, yes. Some of it documented by players themselves, who weren’t afraid to go on Twitter to complain about it.

“No shoot around. No night of sleep. No beds. No food. Right now we will land in DC at 245pm that has us going straight to the gym bc of traffic and bags...and you want us to play?” All-Star guard Kayla McBride tweeted . “Oh ok.”

The WNBA tried to accommodate the Aces, moving the start of the game back an hour to give them more time to prepare. It was breast cancer awareness day in Washington, and a decent-sized crowd of some 5,0006,000 was expected for the game.

But when the Aces finally got to their hotel, they decided they would be risking injury by playing tired.

“We had hopes of rescheduling,”

Aces union representative Carolyn Swords told The Associated Press the next day. “We are competitors and value every opportunity to play.

Every game is critically important with the new playoff format, but we couldn’t put our health and safety on the line.”

The decision not to play didn’t sit well with Mystics coach Mike Thibault, who told a story about when he was coaching in Connecticut in 2003 and a massive blackout hit the East Coast while the team was in Cleveland. The team took buses to Connecticut and then to New York City, showing up 52 minutes before tipoff.

They won the game.

“If you’re there and in the city and can play, you should show up and play,” Thibault said.

Indeed, they should. But no one seemed able to explain that to the Aces, or warn them of the consequences should they decide against playing.

Now, instead of being known as the team that took a stand and forced the WNBA to make travel easier, they’ll be known as the first team to

miss the postseason because players didn’t get enough sleep.

That’s a consideration when trying to grow a fan base in a new city. The Aces haven’t exactly followed the Vegas Golden Knights in taking Las Vegas by storm, and casino operator MGM owner has been offering free tickets to credit card holders to boost attendance in the arena on the Las Vegas Strip.

In a perfect world, WNBA players would make more money and get charter jets. But the league has been around 22 years now and, despite improved television ratings this season, there is no indication it will ever grow big enough for the players to be lavished with the same riches and perks the men get.

Meanwhile, the fans in Washington missed out on a game. The fans in Las Vegas will likely miss out on the playoffs.

All because the Aces decided not to show up and play.

Luck to finally play Thursday

By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

WESTFIELD, Ind. — Andrew Luck spent two straight offseasons contemplating how it would feel to play football again.

He’ll find out Thursday night.

Pedal pals Triple-A teammates complete hitting for cycle in same game INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A pair of Pittsburgh Pirates minor leaguers put up an astonishing stat line Tuesday night.

Kevin Newman and Jacob Stallings completed cycles three batters apart for the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians in a 12-5 win over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

Newman hit a solo homer in the eighth inning to finish his first career cycle with his fifth hit of the game. Later in the inning, Stallings legged out his first triple at any level since 2015 on a drive to rightcenter field. It was also the first career cycle for Stallings, who has played in the majors each of the past three seasons.

The last Indianapolis player to hit for the cycle was current Pirate Josh Bell on April 22, 2016.

This was the second time minor league teammates hit for the cycle in the same game this season.

Giants prospects Gio Brusa and Jalen Miller did it for Class A San Jose in April. The feat has never been accomplished in the majors.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Rich Hill pitched into the sixth to beat his former club for the first time, and the Dodgers stopped the Athletics’ six-game winning streak.

the blood test on the grounds that the evidence was obtained unlawfully.

Huguelet cited Supreme Court precedent that found implied consent laws that establish criminal penalties for refusal to submit to a blood test violate the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable searches. Huguelet ruled that Pyatt did not voluntarily consent to the blood draw and that no exigent circumstances existed to justify a warrantless search.

Without evidence of THC in Pyatt’s blood, Huegelet found that there was not sufficient evidence to support the second indictment and granted the defense motion to dismiss.

Pyatt was also charged with misconduct involving a controlled substance based on the presence of a container of marijuana reportedly found in his car. In June, District Court Judge Margaret L. Murphy granted the motion to dismiss that charge, finding that evidence provided in the case was not sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Pyatt knew he was in possession of marijuana.

Citing precedent, Murphy ruled that “the mere presence in a vehicle with drugs is insufficient evidence to establish a knowing possession of drugs.”

Prosecutors re-indicted Pyatt on July 25. Pyatt’s attorney, public defender Nathan Lockwood, said he was surprised prosecutors had chosen to indict Pyatt for a third time, considering Huguelet’s rejection of the blood test results.

He said that while he had not yet seen the evidence presented to the grand jury, he was skeptical the prosecution would be able to make a case that Pyatt was impaired at the time of the accident.

In an interview last week, Assistant District Attorney Sam Scott said he believed the prosecutors had addressed what he said were procedural issues brought up by the judge.

Pyatt was arraigned before newly seated Superior Court Judge Lance Joanis on Tuesday and released on his own recognizance.

An omnibus hearing was scheduled for Sept. 17. The trial is scheduled to be heard by Huguelet, who is slated for retirement this fall, beginning the week of Oct. 22.

be about $250,000 for each annex, due to travel and construction costs in an area with no harbor.

“There’s a definite need for a new facility,” David May, director of planning and operations with the district, said.

“We expect that the overcrowding at the school will just increase and that by adding a classroom is not going to solve the problem. It’s just a temporary solution for a longterm need.”

Board member Dan Castimore said that the district should also consider dealing with other schools that are overcrowding.

“My only concern looking

at this list is that we’re dealing with overcrowding in our schools in Mountain View,” Castimore said. “They had to add a portable this summer.

I’m just worried we’re skipping over things like dealing with Mountain View’s overcrowding… I wanna make sure we look at all of our schools. Also with the sixyear plan, I noticed there are things on here like, let’s build a new track for Seward High School for $3 million. Somehow that scores higher than finding a place to house our students.”

Dusek said the district plans to work with the community in understanding the project before any grant applications are sent to the state.

“My understanding is that we have it at number one because (Nanwalek) needs a

percent are over 30 years old.

“Our schools are at the edge of their useful life, many of our schools,” Superintendent Sean Dusek said. “Certainly we don’t want to place undue burden on our taxpayers, but we are going to need some upgrades and certainly every area is going to be touched with that.”

Kenai Peninsula Borough voters will consider a bond package in the Oct. 3 election that would go to fund a new school building in the Old Believer Russian village of Kachemak Selo, east of Homer. The $5.45 million bond issue would allow the borough to access approximately $10.5 million in state grant funds to pay for the construction of a new school facility.

There are 23 projects up for consideration, including some

that plan to upgrade districtwide security and office remodels, a roof ventilation upgrade at Homer High School, a roof insulation upgrade at Redoubt Elementary, moisture sealing on the east wall of West Homer Elementary and replacing the gym floor at Kaleidoscope School and Redoubt Elementary.

A final list of potential projects for the board to consider will be presented in September. Once the board approves the plan, applications for specific projects will be sent at the appropriate time to the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development.

Trump says GDP growth ‘could be in the 5s’ next quarter BEDMINSTER, N.J. (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he thinks gross domestic product growth in the next quarter “could be in the 5s” — that is, higher than 5 percent.

Trump made the bold prediction Tuesday evening before a dinner at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf resort with leaders from FedEx, Mastercard, Boeing, PepsiCo and other companies.

Trump also hailed his own economic and trade policies, saying he is “taking our economy to incredible new heights” in spite of fears of damage from the escalating trade disputes he has provoked.

“You’re gonna see some really super growth,” he promised.

He acknowledged, “We’re in a little bit of a fight with China” over tariffs, but predicted a “fantastic trading relationship” eventually.

The government reported last month that the economy grew at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in the second quarter, the fastest pace in nearly four years.

At the end of his remarks, Trump asked the business leaders to introduce themselves. A number of them, including Fiat Chrysler CEO Michael Manley and Boston Beer founder Jim Koch, touted the president’s economic policies, including his tax cut.

May is working on a comprehensive analysis of the district’s school infrastructure that will be used to make judgments on future capital projects. May said that 25 percent of the district’s schools are 50 years or older, and 80

No fowl play Grind your own turkey thigh for great tasting, juicy burgers

By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN Associated Press

Most turkey burgers are dry, bland, or loaded up with flavor-blunting fillers. To create juicy, well-textured turkey burgers, we ditched store-bought ground turkey in favor of a home-ground turkey thigh, which boasts more fat and flavor.

To ensure that our turkey burger recipe delivered maximum juiciness, we incorporated a paste made from a portion of the ground turkey, gelatin, soy sauce and baking soda. The gelatin trapped moisture within the burgers while the baking soda helped tenderize the meat by raising its pH, and the soy sauce added savory umami flavor.

Finally, we added coarsely chopped raw white mushrooms to keep the meat from binding together too firmly.

To top the burgers, we created a variety of sweet and savory sauces that complemented the rich dark meat of the turkey.

Servings: 6 Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours To ensure the best texture, don’t let the burgers stand for more than an hour before cooking. If you like, toast the hamburger buns on the grill while the burgers rest. Serve with one of our burger sauces (recipes follow) or your favorite toppings.

The ultimate 7-layer dip embracing bold Southwestern flavors

By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN Associated Press

To create the ultimate version of this appealing dip with bold Southwestern flavors and a simple, no-fuss technique, we distilled every layer down to its essential flavors and designed our recipe to emphasize those elements.

We replaced the usual refried beans with canned black beans that we processed with garlic, chili powder, and lime juice. To keep the sour cream layer from watering down our dip, we combined it with cheese to give it more structure.

We made the salsa and guacamole layers quick and simple to ensure that they would come together easily and stay fresh and vibrant. This recipe is usually served in a clear dish so you can see the layers.

For a crowd, double the recipe and serve in a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish. If you don’t have time to make fresh guacamole as called for, simply mash three avocados with 3 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon

salt. Serve with tortilla chips.

Pimento cheese spread highlights burgers — and can be made beforehand

And get ready for one of the best burgers of your life.

It’s dangerous ground for a Yankee like me to start messing around with a Southern recipe like pimento cheese.

This may well not be how you (or your mom or grandma) make it. But I’ve done a bit of research now, and a bit of testing, and I humbly submit this version for your consideration.

Don’t use pre-grated cheese for this — freshly grated cheese tastes better and makes the mixture adhere together better. Talented Southern chef Griff Day shared his secret ingredient with me: He uses a splash of bourbon in his pimento cheese, and that little trick really seems to add some depth and extra flavor to my version as well.

If you don’t have smoked paprika on hand, you can sub in regular paprika, or just skip it.

Make this at least one day ahead to allow the flavors to meld. Serve leftovers (there will be leftovers, and you will not be sorry about that) with crackers.

Hey, by the way — I would still like to hear how you or your mom or dad or Aunt Matilda makes their pimento cheese. Seriously — I have yet to meet

a version of this dish that I don’t love! in the cheddar cheese and pimentos, season with salt to taste, and add more Burgers with pimento hot sauce if desired. Pack into a concheese spread tainer and refrigerate for at least one day, and up to seven.

Baby in the buff causes grandma some concern DEAR ABBY: My daughter “Scarlet” has a precious 18-month-old baby girl I’ll call Sierra. Scarlet, her husband and the baby spend a lot of time at their beach house, where they have several full-time employees, including a nanny, housekeeper, cook and gardener. These employees have been at the house for years and are practically part of our family. The problem is, my daughter and her husband allow Sierra to walk around the house and beachfront naked throughout the day.

I have told Scarlet on several occasions that I don’t feel comfortable with Sierra being exposed like that around the employees. A naked toddler might make them feel awkward, plus a child should be raised to understand that her private parts are just that -- private -- and not for anybody outside of her immediate family to look at.

Additionally, from a sanitary perspective, Sierra sits down on dirty, potentially bacteria-infested places such as kitchen tiles, grass and beach sand, which could cause infections. My daughter calls me old-fashioned and tells me not to worry. What do you think?

-- MORE MODEST IN NEVADA DEAR MORE MODEST: I seriously doubt that anyone is going to be embarrassed by the sight of a naked toddler. I know you are well-meaning, and

your points may be valid, but frankly, I think you should let your daughter raise her daughter.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 61 and a recent widower. I befriended a new co-worker, a woman who is single and 41. We started going out socially, and I was getting back into life.

I just found out she and my 24-year-old son have been dating for the last four Abigail Van Buren months. Neither one mentioned anything about it to me. They were sneaking behind my back, and she continued to do things with me. When I realized what was going on, I confronted her and told her I felt taken advantage of and deceived.

I stopped speaking with her after that.

Am I wrong to feel this way? Her relationship has come between my son and me. And yes, I realize it takes two to tango.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will want to have a discussion with someone you care a lot about.

Tonight: Take a midweek break with your friends, if you can.

Get involved in community activities; go on some dating sites and you will meet someone better suited than your co-worker. What happened with her is yet another unfortunate example of what can go wrong in an office romance.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2018: This year you might experience mood swings, fluctuating from extraordinarily happy to sad. Be glad that you can feel a range of emotions instead of being numb or frozen. If you are single, you might meet someone who could consider this unpredictable quality to be exciting and authentic. You will be appreciated for being yourself. If you are attached, your sweetie might find the seesaw ride you are on a bit intense, but he or she will adjust to your frequent changes of mood. Your sweetie also will be delighted by the way you reveal more and more of yourself. You can trust CANCER with your vulnerabilities.

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 harbor some strong feelings. In fact, you might not even know or recognize these feelings if you have a tendency toward suppression. You put your best foot forward, and others recognize your positive attitude. Tonight: A loved one wants to spend time with you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Speak your mind and be willing to hear opinions that might not be acceptable in some way. Go with the flow with an offer involving property and real estate. A potential partner or a loved one could make an offer that you might not want to decline. Tonight: Stay close to home.

Knowing that you have a rabbit’s foot in your back pocket, act accordingly.

Tonight: Feed your mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be a bit off-kilter, not knowing which way is best for you. Work toward a long-term project with the advice and help of a key associate. Together, you make a great team. Your ability to identify with others is heightened.

Tonight: Be positive when interacting with others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could face a problem when dealing with a close friend or a partner whose mood changes with unusual frequency. Your method of dealing with this person might need to change. Lecturing or scolding will not work. Tonight: Let the other party make the first move.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your personality diminishes others’ resistance, but does not help you move a relationship to where you want it to be. Playing games, such as distancing yourself, won’t work. Be more forthright in your decisions. Share your process with a friend. Tonight: Accept your role.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your imagination is at its peak. It might be challenging or difficult to move a situation forward, as you could be distracted by various thoughts. Reach out to someone who understands the situation better.

HELOISE’S KITCHENEERING The benefits of mangoes Dear Readers: A MANGO is a fiberrich, nutrient-filled tropical fruit that is an excellent source of vitamin A, potassium, vitamin B-6, vitamin C and vitamin E. Mangoes also contain a small amount of copper, which is vital in the production of red blood cells. According to recent studies, it’s believed that mangoes help to protect against breast, colon and prostate cancers.

If you haven’t done it before, give mangoes a try.

Tips for reducing kitchen disposables

By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press

Disposables have become a mainstay of many American kitchens — plastic baggies, plastic wrap, paper towels, aluminum foil, plastic straws and more. Reducing or even eliminating them can save you money in addition to cutting down on trash that ends up in landfills.

“It’s easy to be overwhelmed by it all, but little differences really do add up,” says Lauryn Tyrell, food editor at Martha Stewart Living magazine.

“I spend about 75 percent of my time in the test kitchen and so I’m an excellent candidate for creating a ton of kitchen waste. But we’ve learned some tricks to reduce the amount of trash we produce,” she says.

(Remember that in addition to reducing and reusing, recycling is an easy option for many items, including glass, plastic containers, bottles, cans, clean aluminum foil and batteries.)

A few kitchen tips from the pros:

Blend 2 beloved desserts with an ice cream cake

By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN Associated Press

The appeal of ice cream cake is obvious: These two beloved desserts belong together, and a cold, creamy slice of ice cream cake is far more satisfying than a scoop of ice cream haphazardly dolloped onto a slice of cake.

We wanted to develop a basic ice cream cake that would be a hit at any party. We started with three crowd-pleasing flavors—chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry—to create a striped Neapolitan cake. Oreo crumbs served as a sturdy bottom crust and also provided a welcome bit of chocolatey crunch between each layer of ice cream.

When it came to assembling the cake, we found that the key was patience. We didn’t start until the crust was completely cool, and allowing the ice cream to soften to a spreadable consistency ensured it wouldn’t mar the crust. For clean lines and to avoid a melty mess, it was essential to freeze each layer before adding the next.

We dressed up our cake by pressing party-ready rainbow sprinkles into the sides, but you could also use chopped nuts or crushed candies or cookies.

You can also pipe a greeting on top once the cake is fully frozen. Use the entire Oreo—filling and all—for the crust. Before removing the cake from the springform pan, run your paring knife under hot tap water for 10 seconds or so.

1 pint strawberry ice cream 1 pint vanilla ice cream 1 pint chocolate ice cream 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 F.

Paper towels

Continued from page B1

“Keeping paper towel use to a minimum is one of the things Martha Stewart is really serious about,” Tyrell says. Each workspace in the magazine’s test kitchen features cloth tea towels, bar towels (similar to rags) and a roll of select-a-size paper towels, she says. The latter is used sparingly.

Tea towels are great for drying hands or dishes, or folding up to use as a hot mitt. Bar towels can be used for most messes.

Paper towels are reserved for messes like juice from meat or raw egg.

“It helps to have all your towel options in one place, so I’d recommend keeping rags or bar towels near where you keep the paper towels,” Tyrell says. If cloth towels aren’t handy, you probably won’t use them, she advises.

And if you can’t wean yourself off paper towels, there are now several types of reusable ones made of bamboo and other sustainable materials that can be used numerous times before tossing them out, says Brandi Broxson, articles editor at Real Simple magazine. Cleaner paper towels can be recycled.

6 hamburger buns Place turkey pieces on large plate in single layer. Freeze meat until very firm and hardened around edges, 35 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over broth in small bowl and let sit until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Pulse mushrooms in food processor until coarsely chopped, about 7 pulses, stopping and redistributing mushrooms around bowl as needed to ensure even grinding.

Set mushrooms aside.

Pulse one-third of turkey in now-empty food processor until coarsely chopped into 1/8inch pieces, 18 to 22 pulses, stopping and redistributing turkey around bowl as needed to ensure even grinding. Transfer meat to large bowl and repeat 2 more times with remaining turkey.

Return 1/2 cup (about 3 ounces) ground turkey to bowl

Plastic shopping bags

Carry your own canvas or string tote bags for groceries and other purchases. The key, as with bar towels, is to keep them handy.

“There are so many types of reusable bags out there that there’s really no excuse for bringing home single-use plastic shopping bags anymore,” Tyrell says.

Americans throw away around 100 billion plastic bags a year, she says.

Plastic produce bags

Avoid plastic produce bags by keeping a few lightweight mesh bags — often sold as “multi-use straining bags” — in your purse when you head to the grocery store, Tyrell says.

“They’re also great for making nut milks or straining yogurt,” she adds.

If your grocery store doesn’t use compostable produce bags, you can always bring some of your own.

To avoid plastic wrapping on meat or fish, try asking the butcher at the grocery store to wrap it instead in paper, which is biodegradable. Or bring a reusable container to put it in.

Plastic baggies

There are a variety of new products that can be used as an alternative to baggies. Broxson, at Real Simple, recommends one called Stashers . They’re like zip-top plastic bags but are made of Silicon, and can be washed in the dishwasher and reused.

They are watertight, and can go from freezer to microwave.

Plastic wrap

Both Broxson and Tyrell recommend Bee’s Wrap as an alternative to typical plastic cling wrap. It’s made of fabric coated in a mixture of wax, oil and tree resin, and sticks to the top of bowls and jars. Like plastic wrap, it conforms to all sorts of shapes. Unlike plastic wrap, it can be washed and reused, and remains sticky for months, Bronson says.

“It’s not great for wrapping something drippy like a tuna sandwich, where maybe parchment paper or aluminum foil might be preferable. But as a container covering, or to wrap drier types of foods or sandwiches, it’s great,” she says.

of again-empty food processor and add soy sauce, baking soda, and softened gelatin. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed.

With processor running, slowly drizzle in oil, about 10 seconds; leave paste in food processor.

Return mushrooms to food processor and pulse to combine with paste, 3 to 5 pulses, stopping and redistributing mixture as needed to ensure even mixing. Transfer mushroom mixture to bowl with ground turkey and use your hands to evenly combine.

With lightly greased hands, divide meat mixture into 6 balls. Gently flatten each ball into 3/4-inch-thick patty.

Scoop strawberry ice cream into large bowl and, using large rubber spatula or wooden spoon, break up scoops of ice cream. Stir and fold ice cream to achieve smooth consistency. Spread softened ice cream evenly over crust. Sprinkle 2/3 cup Oreo crumbs over ice cream and pack down lightly.

Wrap pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until ice cream is just firm, about 30 minutes.

Repeat with vanilla ice cream and remaining 2/3 cup Oreo crumbs; wrap tightly and freeze for another 30 minutes. Soften chocolate ice cream, spread evenly in pan, and smooth top.

Wrap cake tightly in plastic and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours or up to 1 week.

To unmold cake, run hot thin knife around edge of pan. Remove sides of pan and slide thin metal spatula between crust and pan bottom to loosen, then slide cake onto platter. Press sprinkles onto sides of cake.

Twist on Caesar salad has kale, whole-grain croutons

By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN Associated Press

Kale is closing in on romaine as the Caesar salad green of choice; the hearty, nutrientdense leaves, with their pungent earthiness, pair surprisingly well with the tangy Caesar dressing—perhaps even better than romaine.

While raw kale may sound healthiest, we learned that soaking the kale slightly helps to break down the fibrous cell walls, making nutrients such as vitamins A and C and iron more available for absorption. A 10-minute soak in warm water did the trick and also tenderized the kale.

How else could we improve on the salad? We traded whitebread croutons for whole-grain; their rustic chew tasted right at home in our bowl.

At first, an egg-based dressing sounded like the way to go, but we found a thicker mayonnaise-based dressing stood up

better to the greens. What to do?

We cut half of the mayonnaise with yogurt, then decreased the oil to just 2 tablespoons.

We added three anchovy fillets, which brought savoriness and healthy omega-3 fats. Decreasing the Parmesan lowered saturated fat without sacrificing the cheese’s nutty flavor.

With our dressing reworked, the salad was ready to toss; we did, and gave it a 20-minute rest to blend flavors before serving.

Riley’s magnetic rake removes metal from Kenai Beaches It’s not often that a citizen visits City Hall to give the municipality money without any obligation.

It’s even less often that the citizen is a 15-year-old boy, awarding a Caring for the Kenai grant funded by ENSTAR Natural Gas to the City of Kenai, but that’s what happened during the Kenai City Council meeting on August 1.

Riley Graves was a freshman at Kenai Central High School last year when he became a finalist in the 28th Annual Caring for the Kenai contest. Riley impressed CFK judges with his idea to petition the City of Kenai to purchase a magnetic attachment for their beach raking equipment. But Graves didn’t stop there. After he placed 6th in the contest, Riley continued his project, visiting Kenai City Council and applying for two grants. The first grant was a $2,000 CFK Development Grant, funded by ENSTAR.

The LeeShore Center is proud to be a United Way agency

The second was a $500 City of Kenai Mini-Grant. Together, the two grants covered almost the entire cost of purchasing the industrial strength magnets and shipping them to Kenai.

The City of Kenai’s dedicated employees designed a custom attachment for the magnet, ensuring it would ride close enough to the sand to pick up nails and other metal objects, but not interfere with current raking operations.

“The demonstration was absolutely amazing with just one pass the magnet picked a bucket of rusty old nails,” said Mayor Brian Gabriel. “After 40 or more years of metal accumulating on the beach, this is a great way of cleaning it up. A week before Riley came to city

council with his presentation I actually stepped on a rusty nail and with the shots and x-rays and all it was a $2,200 medical bill for me in the end. So there is a potential health benefit here for people on the beach and their pets not to mention the prevention of flat tires.”

State Senator Peter Micciche was on hand at the demonstration to congratulate Riley.

“I’m one of those fisherman that has had to repair a tire on the beach from the nails and Purchased with a Caring for the Kenai grant the powerful magscrews left on the beach from netic gleans nails and metal objects from the beach very efcamp fires and this is a real fectively. solution to a real problem and we’re all proud of Riley and the city working together to make it happen,” he said.

“I may have been the first woman homesteader, but I was a homesteader’s wife” said Mullen. “Only one name went on that patent. It was from President Lincoln’s time when women didn’t even own property or have the right to vote.

So I went back to the story of being on a project with Alan Boraas when we were exhuming a site where people lived in the year 400, so I certainly wasn’t the first woman on the peninsula. The 65-mile trail that we put our foot on later became a road when the Alaska Road Commission off loaded some heavy equipment on the beach and started the road to Hidden Lake. Before that it was pretty much as it had been here for hundreds of years.”

The Soldotna Museum includes some original homestead cabins and the first Slikok Valley school house.

presentation at City Hall on August 1st, Kenai City Manager Paul Ostrander emphasized how effective the magnet was during this year’s dipnet fishery, removing buckets of metal objects from the city’s beaches. Ostrander told councilors that the magnet was fitted to existing equipment and does not require staff to conduct any additional operations. The Kenai City Council unanimously congratulated Riley on his simple and effective idea.

“This is one of the great parts of being able to serve on the city council,” said council member Tim Navarre. “Being able to be aware and actually just celebrate Riley and other young people who do things in

was the school’s first and only teacher and homesteader Tommey Jo Corr. Entering the reconstructed school house Corr commented that she didn’t think they had any encyclopedias at the school and as the teacher she wore slacks or work clothes not a dress.

“It got cold and the kids took turns warming their hands at the oil stove so they could write,” she recalled.

After the barbecue, Hondel said she had a comment from visitor who posted, “As a summer resident just want to let you know how wonderful your BBQ was for all who were lucky enough to be able to come! Everything was done ‘top notch’ with food, entertainment, the wonderful job at restoration and we got to meet a true homesteader, an original first teacher, and the Governor of AK! I will tell all my guests and whoever I meet to check your location out! It’s a must see to really learn about Soldotna. We all love to fish….but there is really sooo much more to do and learn about sweet Soldotna. And this is coming from a ‘Jersey girl.’”

This year’s parade also drew accolades as Grand Marshall Marge Mullen was driven by Pete Sprague, Historical Society president and the King and Queen of the parade this year was little league and youth activities pioneers Guy and Judy Hayes.

“We had tons of people participate in this year’s parade with over 80 entries and a lot new and unique floats it just keeps building and building,”

said Soldotna Chamber activity director Andy Heuiser.

The judge’s picks this year for the best overall entry was Forever Dance Alaska who put on a tremendous performance at the grandstand. In the Antique Automobiles/Tractors category the Kaknu Kruzers Car Club took 1st place, and Best Business entry went Diamond Dance Project, who also had a great routine before the judges. Best Horse entry went to the Soldotna Equestrian Association, best Individual/Public Figure went to the WalkerMallott for Alaska entry with the Governor himself driving a huge piece of heavy equipment down Binkley Street. The best Marching Group entry also went to Forever Dance Alaska and the best Non-Profit Organization/Group was awarded to the State Champion Soldotna Whalers Wrestling Club.

Judging this year’s parade were Esther Chambers, Paul Whitney, Terri Burdick and Jim and Alyson Stogsdill. The National Anthem was sung by nationally acclaimed Kenai Central High School senior Olivia Brewer, who first sang the National Anthem at the parade when she was 8 years old.

Heuiser said the summer isn’t over yet, with a few weeks of Music in the Park during the month of August then he’ll working on the popular pie auction coming in October which is the Soldotna Chamber’s main fundraiser for all their activities and scholarships.

our community. Riley, you’re an exceptional young man.

And I know you’ve heard that, but you really are. It’s great to see that in our community and that your family is right there with you, supporting you. I can tell you that our community is there supporting you, and we thank you.”

Riley’s continued dedication to improving the environment on the Kenai Peninsula will also make him eligible to enter CFK 2018-19 competition as a sophomore and qualifies him to be nominated for the President’s Environmental Youth Award.

The CFK – ENSTAR Project Development Grant was debuted this year as a means of assisting CFK students build or implement their CFK ideas or projects.

“To see our finalists follow through with their ideas is what CFK and our spon-

sors are all about,” says CFK founder Merrill Sikorski. “We are excited that Riley had the follow through with this idea which will improve the quality of life for all of us.”

CFK is administered by the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska and sponsored by Andeavor Alaska in cooperation with 5 community sponsors.

“Our mission at the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska is to inspire students to connect STEM concepts with applications to real world situations,” said Challenger CEO Marnie Olcott. “Riley’s commitment to his project is a perfect example of how these classroom experiences are meant to impact our world for the better.”

The 2018-19 Caring for the Kenai Contest opens in September after the first day of school.

Purchased with a Caring for the Kenai grant the powerful magnetic gleans nails and metal objects from the beach very effectively.

Kenai Central High School sophomore Riley Graves presents Kenai City Council with a $2,000 check he raised from a CFK grant to fund his magnetic rake project.

Gov. Walker honors homesteaders Tommey Jo Corr & Marge Mullen in front of the Slikok Valley school house at the Soldotna Museum.

Mayor Nels Anderson, First Lady Donna and Gov. Bill Walker congratulate Marge Mullen and officially proclaim July 27th, 2018 Marge Mullen Day in Soldotna.
