In the news Big Lake man charged in Wasilla woman’s disappearance, death ANCHORAGE — A Palmer grand jury has indicted a Big Lake man on a first-degree murder count in the death of a Wasilla woman whose remains were found last month. Alaska State Troopers say 24-year-old Adam Drew is also charged with second-degree murder, kidnapping and weapons misconduct in the death of 57-year-old Dolly Hampton. The indictment was handed down Friday. Hampton’s family reported her missing Dec. 6. She had last been seen in the Wasilla area. Troopers on April 3 recovered human remains in a remote area near Big Lake. The state medical examiner determined that they belonged to Hampton and that she was a homicide victim. Drew has been jailed on unrelated charges since Jan. 3. He will be arraigned Wednesday.
Coast Guard rescues 5 fishermen from life raft ANCHORAGE — A Coast Guard helicopter plucked five commercial fishermen from a life raft after their fishing boat ran aground in Southeast Alaska. The crew of the Masonic, based in Sitka, radioed a mayday call just after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday and said their 62-foot fishing boat was going down. The Sitka-based helicopter and the Petersburg-based cutter Anacapa responded. The helicopter found the stricken vessel at about 4 a.m. The five crew members were in survival suits on a life raft tied to the stern of the vessel grounded on Coronation Island southeast of Sitka. Coast Guard Capt. Stephen White says the Masonic had received a commercial fishing vessel dockside examination before departing and had conducted an abandon ship drill. He says their preparation probably saved their lives. —Associated Press

SoHi, SoPrep to consolidate By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Starting this fall, Soldotna Prep School will be closed and consolidated into Soldotna High School. The Kenai Penin-
sula Borough School District Board of Education unanimously voted to consolidate the two schools at Monday’s board meeting. This fall, the ninth graders originally housed in Soldotna Prep will be
joining the 10th, 11th and 12th grade students already using the Soldotna High campus. Tenured teachers will move and continue teaching at Soldotna High. The district does not know
which non-tenured teachers, who still do not have contracts, will be retained until budget concerns are resolved. The district says Soldotna High School will be able to accomSee SOHI, page A2
Behind the scenes at Nikiski’s power plant By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
In Roald Dahl’s famous children’s book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” a handful of guests are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to look inside the operations of a place that many relied on without knowing how it works or what it does. While not quite as mysterious as Wonka’s chocolate factory, Homer Electric Association’s Combined Cycle Power Plant in Nikiski is not often visited by members of the public, even though it provides power to nearly everyone living on the peninsula. On Thursday, HEA offered a rare opportunity for the public to tour its Nikiski power plant — no golden tickets necessary. The two tours were led by Larry Jorgensen, director of power, fuels and dispatch, who un-

fortunately left his purple suit and top hat at home. The tours took place on the same day as HEA’s annual
meeting of the members, giving HEA members an opportunity to experience what it takes on a day-to-
day basis to keep the lights on. The Nikiski Combined See HEA, page A16
Court system works toward electronic filing JUNEAU (AP) — The Alaska court system is working to switch to electronic filing, with goals of reducing workloads for clerks, eliminating delays and improving access to records. The change has been years in the making, with one targeted completion date missed and another in jeopardy. Employees at Kenai Peninsula courthouses have been part of a pilot program for electronic filing and document management systems involving limited case types. The court system plans to expand the pilot effort to include criminal cases and bring on certain outside users, KTOO Public Media reported. Tracey Buie, who manages the court system’s efiling implementation, said converting to electronic documents means revamping many procedures. Mistakes can happen with paper filing, said records clerk Amanda BeebeBay, who works at the state courthouse in Juneau. “Because we are handfiling, it’s very easy to accidentally put, you know, this into 2-18 instead of 1-218,” she said amid shelves See COURT, page A3
UAA graduates some of the school’s last teachers By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Many of Alaska’s newest educators walked across the stage at the state’s largest university to graduate last weekend. Many of them were also the last to come out of the University of Alaska Anchorage’s School of Education initial licensure programs. Kelsey Hernandez graduated on Sunday with a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and an associate of applied science degree in early childhood development. After this semester, the program she graduated in will no longer exist in the University of Alaska system. “They have completely cut it,” Hernandez said. “It’s not being picked up by UAF or UAS. It feels like we don’t

Jennifer Hoeldt also graduated on Sunday with a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and an associate of applied science degree in early childhood development. She said she’s excited she and her classmates made it through the program. “But also sad we’re not going to have it in Anchorage anymore,” she said.

Environmental organizations to sue Forest Service By Alex McCarthy Juneau Empire
Eight conservation groups filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Forest Service this week in an attempt to stop a recordbreaking timber project from starting up in Southeast Alaska.
The Forest Service has been working to offer more than 200 million board feet of Tongass old-growth timber over the next 15 years, and the process is nearing completion. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, asserts that the Forest Service is violating the National Environmental Policy Act and
failing to comply with the Forest Service’s own Tongass Management Plan by moving so quickly. On its website, the Forest Service has described the project — called the Prince of Wales Landscape Level Analysis Project (POW LLA) — as aiming to “improve forest ecosystem
health” and to “provide economic development through an integrated approach to meet multiple resource objectives.” Environmental groups have been skeptical of this explanation, saying that the sale would pave the way for old-growth logging and road-building throughout
the region. Conservation advocates have said this would be the largest timber sale in the United States in decades. The Forest Service has approved 67 square miles of logging on Prince of Wales Island, according to a release from conservation groups Tuesday, but has See SUE, page A16
Moose kills and bear season ramp up Fischer addresses proposed By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion
Moose calves are a fun sight to observers, but a delicious sight to bears. “Tis the season for being especially cautious in the out of doors as moose begin having their calves and bears go looking for an easy meal,” forest technician
Irene Lindquist said in a release. Tsalteshi Trails reported a dead moose on the trail on Monday. Trail officials warned to stay away from the Coyote Trail due to the possibility of bears in the area before Tsalteshi’s Facebook page reported the moose had been removed Tuesday night.
There is also a new adult moose kill on Resurrection Pass Trail about 4.6 miles in just above Juneau Falls. According to Lindquist, bears have been feeding on the carcass. Lindquist also warned recreaters and hunters to be cognizant of bear baiting rules and requirements. See RAMP page A16
constitutional changes JUNEAU (AP) — The last surviving delegate to the Alaska Constitutional Convention says he was “appalled” by a proposed change to the Constitution he says would place limits on taxation. Vic Fischer testified before a state House committee Tuesday. He
says a constitutional change proposed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy would undermine an existing constitutional principle stating that the power of taxation shall never be surrendered. Dunleavy has proposed a constitutional See AMEND, page A3

modate all of the students, and three portable classrooms will be moved to Soldotna High to ensure there is enough room for students and teachers. Students in sports and student activities may have less time for practice in the gym, and some practices will be later in the evening next year, the district said. The district is also recommending a third principal at Soldotna High to help minimize any increase in bullying, and to create a safe school culture. The Soldotna Prep building is also home to River City Academy, a small seventh through 12th grade school. The district plans to move the academy into Skyview Middle School, which is home to seventh and eighth graders. Concerns over the consolidation of Skyview Middle School and River City Academy dominated the public comment taken before the vote at the school board meeting. Many Skyview Middle School students spoke in opposition to the consolidation. Emerson Lorring, a seventh grader at Skyview Middle, spoke to the board with concerns about bringing River City Academy students into the middle school. “River City has a different handbook, and that could resolve in issues,” Lorring said. “Our classrooms and everything may be separated but our hallways and bathrooms will not.” Skyview Middle School principal Sargeant Truesdell also spoke at the school board meeting. “I want to say I’m proud of our Skyview students willing to stand up and voice their concerns about their school,” Truesdell said. “We rec-

ognize RCA students didn’t want to be moved either.” The public comment ended on a positive note. Dawn Edward Smith, principal of River City Academy said this option was the best one moving forward. “Our school is far more than the building we live inside,” Edward-Smith said. “Skyview and RCA can work out the details.” Before the vote took place, several school board members spoke positively about the upcoming changes. “I’ve heard a lot about thinking of the positives,” school board member Debbie Carey said. “We need to think about the positives and the relationships students can build together. Although this isn’t ideal because of the time line, I think that
working together these two schools can make one amazing campus for all the students.” Soldotna High student and student representative to the school board Tanis Lorring said she hoped the move would prove to be positive for both schools. “This is a rare occasion,” Lorring said. “We don’t always get hit with it this fast. I really hope this can turn out to be a good thing for Skyview. I know there are going to be concerns. There are some valid concerns students brought up, but we can move forward.” Lorring also said she wished there was more community involvement before the decision was made. “I think right now, this is the only and best thing we could have done for
this specific situation,” Lorring said. Prior to the school board meeting, the school district put out a survey for students, staff, parents and community members to weigh in on the consolidation decision. The survey found the majority of survey participants were in favor of the consolidation, with no community members opposed. Students were the most opposed to the consolidation, with nearly 40% of them voting against it in the survey. Less than 20% of district staff voted against the move, and roughly 10% of parents voted to not consolidate. The Soldotna Prep building will be vacated and turned back over to the borough, which will decide what is next for the building.

Born in New York City, NY in 1948 to Catherine and Frank Kopec, he grew up in Lake Neapaulin (Sussex, NJ). Frank was a 1966 graduate of Sussex High School, where he met his future wife, Elaine Klecha. Frank was drafted to the army in 1968 and served in the Big Red One, 1st Infantry Division, from May of 1968 to December of 1969 in Vietnam. He attained the rank of Sergeant and was decorated with a number of commendations including two Bronze Stars, a National Defense Service Metal, a Vietnam Service Metal, a Vietnam Campaign Metal, an Army Commendation Metal, and a Purple Heart. He was a lifetime member of the VFW Post 10221 as well as the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 0914. A skilled tradesman and custom home builder, Frank founded Kopec Plumbing and Heating and Woodland Builders in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In his spare time, he served as a volunteer with the Pochuck Valley Fire Department and was a gifted athlete who played with several local ball teams. Like so many others, a short vacation to Alaska inspired Frank to relocate north and, in 1997, he began the adventure of moving across the country. Frank enjoyed spending time in the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fishermen. He loved his family to no end and was a solid friend to many. He was a generous man with a heart of gold and will never be forgotten by those who knew him best. Frank was proceeded in death by his parents, Catherine and Frank Kopec Sr. and his father-in-law, Joseph Klecha. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Elaine Kopec (Klecha), his children- Stacey Degroat and husband Sam of Beaufort, SC, Dustin Kopec and wife Daniela of Soldotna, AK, and Mathew Kopec and wife Meagan of Kasilof, AK. Frank had six grandchildren, Sam and Gunnar Degroat, Macen and Kaden Kopec, and Brayden and Maya Kopec. Frank is also survived by his brothers John and wife Patricia Kopec of Sussex, NJ, Daniel and wife MaryKathryn Kopec of Chester, NJ, and Mother-in-law Catherine Klecha of Sussex, NJ. The family will hold a celebration of life at a future date and asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Frank’s name to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

What others say
Opioids killed thousands, who will be held to account? Within the context of all the misery
and suffering brought on by the opioid epidemic, the filing of criminal charges against another drug trafficker may not seem like a big deal. But a case that surfaced last week in New York takes a significant leap in casting executives of drug manufacturers and distributors in the light that much of the public sees them — as simple drug dealers, not unlike the ones that Huntington police arrest and charge all the time. Only in the case of the drug company executives, the volume of pills used illicitly can far exceed the drugs purveyed by the common street dealer. In the New York case, Laurence Doud III, the retired CEO of the Rochester Drug Co-Operative, was arraigned last week on two counts of conspiracy related to drug trafficking. According to prosecutors, Doud is the first drug industry executive or former executive to face drug-trafficking charges. If the charges leveled against Doud are true, then calling his activities drug trafficking appears to be justified. Prosecutors say he turned his small New York firm into a supplier of last resort for independent pharmacies whose dubious practices got them cut off by other distributors, an indictment unsealed April 23 alleges. Although Doud claims he is being used as a scapegoat to cover up wrongdoing by others, data trotted out by prosecutors certainly suggest something was awry at Doud’s company during the last few years. According to prosecutors and an Associated Press report, from 2012 to 2016, Rochester’s sales of oxycodone tablets skyrocketed from 4.7 million to 42.2 million — an increase of about 800% — and its fentanyl sales soared from approximately 63,000 dosages in 2012 to more than 1.3 million in 2016. During the same period, the company’s internal compliance office flagged 8,300 orders but reported just four to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. An internal alert system flagged about 7,800 orders that exceeded a monthly purchase threshold, but the company still filled most of them without contacting the pharmacy or reporting the activity to the DEA, according to court papers filed with Doud’s indictment. To date, much of the litigation blaming the prescription drug manufacturing and distribution industry for this nation’s opioid crisis has taken place in civil court. That’s the case for many local governments in the Tri-State area who are seeking damages from the drug companies for the costs they’ve suffered in coping with deaths and overdoses over the last decade-plus. But it is refreshing to think that at least one set of prosecutors is willing to take a case into the criminal realm if they think an individual should be held accountable for what appear to be reckless actions. Perhaps big company executives will be more attuned to obeying the law — and preventing abuses of deadly drugs — if they know they will be held personally responsible and perhaps spend time behind bars. Anyone knowingly breaking the law and violating safeguards should be held accountable and face the full wrath of the law. After all, more than 70,000 people died of drug overdoses in 2017, according to the AP. If that’s not criminal, what is? — The Herald-Dispatch (West Virginia), April 28

My wake-up call on heart health A laska V oices K evin C larkson The last thing I wanted was to draw attention to myself. The idea of causing a fuss weighed on my mind. But, the signs and symptoms were screaming at me. Pain and tightness spread across my chest and upper shoulders and radiated down my left arm, cold sweat formed on my forehead, shortness of breath, indigestion and nausea. Walked the airplane aisle to the bathroom and splashed water on my face. Didn’t help. Walked back to my seat. Decision time. “This cannot be happening to me, I’m the guy who runs or walks 3-5 miles every day.” Looked up at the call button, hesitated — I thought “we’re only 30 minutes out of Seattle, maybe this will get better.” But something inside my head said, “Stop fooling yourself.” I reached up and hit the button, an act that likely saved my life. Because I did, the Alaska Airlines crew was able to identify a nurse on the plane to take my blood pressure — her eyes got really wide when she saw the result — and to call paramedics near SeaTac to come and wait at the gate. The paramedics came on the plane while other passengers stayed seated — a big thanks to everyone for
their patience — and I walked out to the gate with them. They performed an EKG, looked at it and said, “yeah, you’re not going home tonight,” and then called medics to transport me to the nearby hospital. As a result of my decision to risk embarrassment and hit that call button, minutes later when I went into cardiac arrest I had five medics/paramedics standing around me. I remember looking up at them from my back on the floor and realizing what had happened. Those guys saved my life and I owe them my thanks — even if they did cut open my favorite shirt. I had a myocardial infarction, or in layman’s terms a heart attack. It was caused by a sudden blockage of blood flow in my right coronary artery. Apparently, I had a partial blockage due to a buildup of plaque — think cholesterol. It was small enough that I had no prior symptoms and had easily walked my 3 miles that very afternoon before I boarded my flight home. But that small buildup of plaque ruptured and became a full blockage. I now have two stents in my heart to keep the coronary artery open and I currently get around a little slower. And, sadly I had to give up my Jolly Ranchers as well as ice cream. But, I am alive and feeling very blessed. I celebrated my 60th birthday that very night. On arrival at the operating room the staff kept asking me, “how old are you” and I kept answering, “what time is it?”
This repeated a couple times. I think they thought I was delusional until I finally said, “Look, if it’s after midnight then I’m 60.” They wished me a happy birthday. What a party. So, what are the lessons to be learned? Take care of your heart. Get checked regularly by your doctor — have your blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure checked, and eat healthy — cut back on sugar and consume less carbs and salt. Pay attention to what your body is telling you. Know the symptoms of a heart attack: discomfort, pressure, or heaviness in the chest, arm or below your breastbone; discomfort radiating to the back, jaw, throat or arm; fullness, indigestion, heartburn, or choking feelings; sweating, nausea, vomiting or dizziness; extreme weakness, anxiety or shortness of breath; and rapid or irregular heartbeats. If you experience these symptoms, don’t worry about making a fuss, let someone know or call for help. Better to experience a little embarrassment than to risk losing your life. And for goodness sake, remember to smile, lose the frowns, love on your family, spread some happiness, appreciate your friends, and keep your lists and ledgers short — seek and offer forgiveness quickly and often. Life is fragile and very short. So, make it count while you can and enjoy the ride. God bless! Kevin Clarkson is the attorney general for the state of Alaska.

Refusal on Trump’s tax returns sets up legal fight By ANDREW TAYLOR and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has made it official: The administration won’t be turning President Donald Trump’s tax returns over to the Democratic-controlled House. Mnuchin told Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., in a Monday letter that the panel’s request “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose” as Supreme Court precedent requires. In making that determination, Mnuchin said he relied on the advice of the Justice Department. He concluded that the Treasury Department is “not authorized to disclose the requested returns and return information.” He said the Justice Department will provide a more detailed legal justification soon. The move, which was expected, is sure to set in motion a legal battle over Trump’s tax returns. The chief options available to Democrats are to subpoena the IRS for the returns or to file a lawsuit. Last week, Neal promised “we’ll be ready” to act soon after Monday’s deadline. Treasury’s denial came the day that the House Judiciary panel scheduled a vote for Wednesday on whether to find Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena for a full, unredacted copy of special counsel Rob-
ert Mueller’s report. Fights with other House panels are ongoing. “I will consult with counsel and determine the appropriate response,” Neal said in a statement Monday. Neal originally demanded access to Trump’s tax returns in early April under a law that says the IRS “shall furnish” the returns of any taxpayer to a handful of top lawmakers, including the chair of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. He maintains that the committee is looking into the effectiveness of IRS mandatory audits of tax returns of all sitting presidents, a way to justify his claim that the panel has a potential legislative purpose. Democrats are confident in their legal justification and say Trump is stalling in an attempt to punt the issue past the 2020 election. The White House and the Republican president’s attorneys declined to comment on the deadline to turn over Trump’s returns. Mnuchin has said Neal’s request would potentially weaponize private tax returns for political purposes. Trump has privately made clear he has no intention of turning over the much-coveted records. He is the first president since Watergate to decline to make his tax returns public, often claiming that he would release them if he was not under audit. “What’s unprecedented is this secretary refusing to comply with our lawful … request. What’s unprecedented is a Justice Department that again sees its role as being bodyguard
to the executive and not the rule of law,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J. “What’s unprecedented is an entire federal government working in concert to shield a corrupt president from legal accountability.” But the president has told those close to him that the attempt to get his returns was an invasion of his privacy and a further example of what he calls the Democrat-led “witch hunt” — like Mueller’s Russia probe — meant to damage him. Trump has repeatedly asked aides as to the status of the House request and has not signaled a willing to cooperate with Democrats, according to a White House official and two Republicans close to the White House. He has linked the effort to the myriad House probes into his administration and has urged his team to stonewall all requests. He also has inquired about the “loyalty” of the top officials at the IRS, according to one of his advisers. Trump has long told confidants that he was under audit and therefore could not release his taxes. But in recent weeks, he has added to the argument, telling advisers that the American people elected him once without seeing his taxes and would do so again, according to the three White House officials and Republicans, who were not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Nation/World 8 hurt, 2 in custody after school shooting outside Denver
Police and others are seen outside STEM School Highlands Ranch in the Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch, Colo., after a shooting Tuesday. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski) By KATHLEEN FOODY Associated Press
HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — Gunfire erupted Tuesday inside a suburban Denver middle school not far from Columbine High School, wounding eight people before two students were taken into custody, au-
thorities said. Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said two students walked into the school and opened fire in two classrooms. He said only students ages 15 and older were wounded. Deputies responded within minutes from a nearby sheriff’s depart-
ment substation, entering the school as gunfire rang out. Police took the two suspects, one adult and one juvenile, into custody with no injuries. “We did not have them on any radar,” Spurlock said of the suspects. “I have to believe that the quick response of the officers that got inside that school helped save lives.” Spurlock said at least a handgun was recovered, but he didn’t release more information on weapons. The shooting occurred at the middle school at STEM School Highlands Ranch, a public charter school with more than 1,850 students in kindergarten through 12th grades. The Highlands Ranch community is about 15 miles south of Denver. Deputies responded around 1:50 p.m. to the school, which is near a
sheriff’s department substation, and officers got there almost immediately, Nicholson-Kluth said. “As officers were arriving at the school, they could still hear gunshots,” she said. Rocco DeChalk, who lives near the school, told television station KUSA that he saw so many students running past his house that at first he thought it was a gym class. He went outside and saw a teenage boy who had been shot in the back being helped by a teacher and another student. They brought the boy into his kitchen and alerted a police officer, who sent for an ambulance. “He made a comment, ‘Oh, I’m starting to feel it now,’” DeChalk said. “I told him that was probably the adrenaline kicking in and he was going into shock.”
US Secretary of State Pompeo makes unannounced trip to Iraq BY MATTHEW LEE Associated Press
BAGHDAD — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a lightning visit to Baghdad on Tuesday to show U.S. support for the Iraqi government as Washington steps up warnings to Iran against any action against American interests in the Middle East. The unannounced trip began and ended after nightfall and under heavy security. Pompeo’s visit came as the Trump administration is intensifying its pressure campaign against Iran. The U.S. said this week that it is rushing an aircraft carrier group to the Middle East to deter or respond to any Iranian attack. U.S. officials have said there are indications Iran is plan-

show them what he said is U.S. support for “a sovereign, independent” Iraq, free from the influence of neighboring Iran. He said he would also discuss with them unfinished business deals that he said would allow Iraq to wean itself from dependence on Iranian energy.
Pompeo would not be specific about the more recent threat information involving Iran, but said he would make the point in his meetings in Baghdad that any attack by Iran or its proxies on American forces in Iraq would affect the Iraqi government too. The “campaign to continue to prevent ISIS terror inside of Iraq itself is something that’s very central … to the Iraqi government,” Pompeo said. As tensions rise between Washington and Tehran, Baghdad in some ways is caught in the middle. Iraq has a close relationship with the U.S., which is leading the international coalition in the war against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. More than 5,000 U.S. troops are stationed on Iraqi soil.
Erdogan defends Istanbul vote redo, critics see power grab By SUZAN FRASER Associated Press
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted Tuesday that rerunning the Istanbul mayoral vote won by the opposition will only strengthen democracy, while critics called the decision an “outrageous” move to eliminate dissent against his government. Ruling in favor of Erdogan’s governing party, Turkey’s top electoral body on Monday annulled the results of the March 31 vote in Istanbul, which opposition candidate Ekrem Imamoglu narrowly won, and scheduled a re-run for June 23. The loss of Istanbul — and the capital of Ankara — in Turkey’s local elections were sharp blows to Erdogan and his conservative, Islamic-based Justice
and Development Party, or AKP. AKP had challenged the results of the vote, claiming it was marred by irregularities. Critics accuse the AKP of clinging to power in the city of 15 million people that is Turkey’s cultural and commercial hub and of exerting heavy pressure on the country’s electoral body to cancel the outcome. The controversial decision has increased concerns over democracy and the rule of law in Turkey, a NATO member that that is still formally a candidate to join the European Union and a key Western ally in the fight against terrorism and stemming of the flow of refugees to Europe. “The will of the people has been trampled on,” said Meral Aksener, leader of a nationalist party in Turkey that had backed Imamoglu. The move is raising
Around the World FBI chief: No evidence of illegal spying on Trump campaign WASHINGTON — FBI Director Chris Wray said Tuesday that he does not consider court-approved FBI surveillance to be “spying” and said he has no evidence the FBI illegally monitored President Donald Trump’s campaign during the 2016 election. His comments at a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing broke from Attorney General William Barr, who has described as “spying” FBI surveillance during its investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Barr has not said such surveillance was necessarily improper, but Trump nonetheless seized on those comments to suggest his campaign was spied on in an illegal and unprecedented act. Asked by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., if he would say that the FBI is “spying” when it investigates suspected terrorists and mobsters while following “investigative policies and procedures,” Wray replied, “Well, that’s not the term I would use.” He added: “I believe that the FBI is engaged in investigative activity, and part of investigative activity includes surveillance activity of different shapes and sizes. And to me, the key question is making sure that it’s done by the book, consistent with our lawful authorities. That’s the key question. Different people use different colloquial phrases.” Wray declined to discuss in detail the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign because of an ongoing Justice Department inspector general probe into the origins of the Russia inquiry. Barr has said he expects the watchdog report to be done in May or June. But asked whether he was aware of evidence that the FBI had illegally spied on the Trump campaign, Wray said, “I don’t think I personally have any evidence of that sort.”
Emails: Purdue executive cast blame on opioid victims HARTFORD, Conn. — A member of the family that owns Purdue Pharma, maker of the painkiller OxyContin, cast blame on victims of the opioid epidemic in nearly 20-year-old emails, saying “abusers aren’t victims,” according to a court filing announced Tuesday in Connecticut. The emails from Richard Sackler were made public through a complaint brought by Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, one of about 2,000 lawsuits that have been filed around the country against the Connecticut-based pharmaceutical giant. Tong said the email exchanges show a disregard for human life. “Purdue and defendant members of the Sackler family knew people were dying, but they continued to push their opioids in blind pursuit of profit,” he said in a statement. In their tone and content, the emails are similar to other statements from Sackler that have been made public through legal fights with Purdue or its controlling family. Richard Sackler told people attending the launch party for OxyContin in the 1990s that it would be “followed by a blizzard of prescriptions that will bury the competition,” according to court documents filed earlier this year in a separate case brought by the Massachusetts attorney general. The Sackler family later asserted he was making a joke about a heavy snow storm. —The Associated Press

questions about whether Erdogan, who has consolidated power throughout his 16 years in power and is increasingly accused of authoritarianism, would ever accept any electoral defeat or relinquish power. The redo of the vote also threatens to further de-stabilize the Turkish economy, which has en-
tered a recession. The Turkish lira crashed spectacularly last summer over investor concerns about Erdogan’s policies, shaking the economy. It has been sliding again in recent weeks and on Tuesday it hit its lowest level since October, due to the prolonged political uncertainty.

About big bodies of water and whales Because the belugas and hooligan are in Cook Inlet now I thought this story was very appropriate! Year 1967, North Kenai, now Nikiski I arrived in Alaska in 1967 with three little kids and three suit cases. It was my first ride on an airplane and about my first time out of the State of Colorado. Never in my 29 years had I seen a large body of water or the ocean or big river, until I came to Alaska. I thought Cook Inlet, with its muddy glacier silt and strong riptides, was absolutely beautiful. I still do. I never get tired of going down to Arness dock and looking out over the water and marveling at the ever-changing beauty. It has changed through the years. The sunken landing craft for a dock is gone and a wonderful large dock in its place. The oil rigs in the inlet have multiplied, produced oil and some are shut down now. I still get great joy in showing newcomers and our visitors Arness dock, or as they call it now – OSK. I kid people and tell them I was born in Colorado on a mountaintop and the biggest body of water was a rain puddle. Only half true. I was born and raised on a farm in Northern Colorado and the biggest body of water was mud puddles we played in and the largest stream of water was an irrigation ditch. Black Hollow Lake held irrigation water. The swift waters of the Poudre Canyon and Big Thompson Canyon required days of planning and a few chickens to kill, pluck and fry so we could enjoy a picnic in the mountains. So when I saw all the ponds, lakes, streams, Kenai River, Cook Inlet and the ocean out of Homer, I was both fascinated and terrified. I cannot swim a lick and do not like water in my face and I am not terribly fond of boats. I do not particularly like to fish, but love to watch other people fish. The beef I loved to eat in Colorado was replaced by salmon, halibut, shrimp, crab. I never get tired of eating Alaska’s bounty! After we arrived in Alaska I had to find a job in a hurry. I was offered a bookkeeping position at Offshore Fabricators, located at Arness Dock. After the interview, I went back to get my kids being babysat by my new friend Helen McGahan. I wanted the kids to see how beautiful Cook Inlet was. Besides, said my See ANNIE, page A7

Juicy, tender chicken with plenty of sweet, smoky-flavor By America’s Test Kitchen The Associated Press
In theory, barbecued chicken kebabs sound pretty great: char-streaked chunks of juicy meat lacquered with sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. But without an insulating layer of skin, even the fattiest thigh meat can dry out and toughen when exposed to the blazing heat of the grill—and forget about ultra-lean skinless breast meat. Our goal was simple: juicy, tender chicken with plenty of sticky-sweet, smoke-tinged flavour. Brining is one common way to safeguard against dry meat, but in this case the brine made the meat so slick that the barbecue sauce refused to stick. A salt rub worked much better the rub crisped up on the chicken’s exterior as it cooked, forming a craggy surface that the sauce could really cling to. For incredible depth of flavour as well as juicy meat, we turned to an unusual technique: grinding bacon to a paste and applying it to the salted meat. Combined with both sweet and smoked paprika and a little sugar, our bacon-y rub created chicken that was juicy, tender, and full-flavoured, with a smoky depth that complemented the barbecue sauce.
BARBECUED CHICKEN KEBABS Servings: 6 Start to finish: 1 hour, 45 minutes Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the onion for the sauce. We prefer flavourful dark thigh meat for these kebabs, but white meat can be used.
Whichever you choose, don’t mix white and dark meat on the same skewer, since they cook at different rates. If you have thin pieces of chicken, cut them larger than 1 inch and roll or fold them into approximate 1-inch cubes. Turbinado sugar is commonly sold as Sugar in the Raw. Demerara sugar can be substituted. You will need four 12-inch metal skewers for this recipe. Sauce: 1/2 cup ketchup 1/4 cup molasses 2 tablespoons grated onion 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar Chicken: 2 tablespoons paprika 4 teaspoons turbinado sugar 2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 teaspoons smoked paprika 2 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, trimmed, cut into 1-inch chunks For the sauce: Bring all ingredients to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to small bowl and set remaining sauce aside for serving. For the chicken: Combine paprika, sugar, salt, and smoked paprika in large bowl. Process bacon in food processor until smooth paste forms, 30 to 45 seconds, scraping down

sides of bowl as needed. Add bacon paste and chicken to spice mixture and mix with your hands or rubber spatula until ingredients are thoroughly blended and chicken is completely coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Thread chicken tightly onto four 12-inch metal skewers. — For a charcoal grill: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter three-quarters filled with charcoal briquettes (4 1/2 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open
lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. — For a gas grill: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Turn all burners to medium-high. Clean and oil cooking grate. Place skewers on hotter part of grill (if using charcoal), and cook (covered if using gas), turning kebabs every 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, until well browned and slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Brush top surface of skewers with 1/4 cup sauce, flip, and cook until sauce is sizzling and browning in spots, about 1
minute. Brush second side with remaining 1/4 cup sauce, flip, and continue to cook until sizzling and browning in spots, about 1 minute longer. Transfer skewers to serving platter, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve, passing reserved sauce separately. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 282 calories 108 calories from fat 12 g fat (3 g saturated 0 g trans fats) 84 mg cholesterol 771 mg sodium 25 g carbohydrate 1 g fiber 22 g sugar 18 g protein.
For a nutritious version of artichoke dip, look to navy bean dip and add a filling burst of protein, we incorporated Greek yogurt. Finally, a healthy dose of lemon juice, garlic, parsley, and scallion added fresh flavour and brightness. Serve with vegetables, wholegrain crackers, or wholegrain chips.
NAVY BEAN AND ARTICHOKE DIP
This undated photo provided by America’s Test Kitchen shows Navy Bean and Artichoke Dip in Brookline, Mass. (Joe Keller/America’s Test Kitchen via AP) By America’s Test Kitchen The Associated Press
Most artichoke dips could justifiably be called mayonnaise and cheese dips, given what goes into them. To create a more nutri-
tious rendition, we looked to bean dip to provide a creamy base that contributed protein and fiber instead of saturated fat. We thought that the vegetal artichokes (high in vitamins K and C and various minerals) would partner well with the earthy-
sweet but mild beans, adding some needed character. We chose navy beans for their velvety texture, rinsing them to remove excess sodium. Using canned beans and jarred artichoke hearts kept the recipe easy. To increase the creaminess of our
Servings: 6-8 Start to finish: 50 minutes 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons juice 1 small garlic clove, minced 1 (15-ounce) can navy beans, 2 tablespoons liquid reserved, beans rinsed 1 cup jarred whole artichoke hearts packed in water, rinsed and patted dry, 2 tablespoons chopped 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves 1 scallion, white and light green parts cut into 1/2-inch pieces, dark green part sliced thin on bias Salt 1/4 teaspoon ground fennel Pinch cayenne pepper 1/4 cup organic plain 2 per cent Greek yogurt Cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
Combine lemon zest and juice and garlic in bowl and let sit for 15 minutes. Pulse garlic-lemon juice mixture, beans, their reserved liquid, whole artichoke hearts, parsley, white and light green scallion pieces, 3/4 teaspoon salt, fennel, and cayenne in food processor until finely ground, 5 to 10 pulses, scraping down bowl as needed. Continue to process until uniform paste forms, about 1 minute, scraping down bowl as needed. Add yogurt and continue to process until smooth, about 15 seconds. Transfer to serving bowl, cover, and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (Dip can be refrigerated for up to 1 day bring to room temperature before serving.) Season with salt to taste. Sprinkle with reserved chopped artichokes and dark green scallion parts, and drizzle with oil to taste before serving. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 109 calories 34 calories from fat 4 g fat (1 g saturated 0 g trans fats) 0 mg cholesterol 328 mg sodium 14 g carbohydrate 5 g fiber 1 g sugar 5 g protein.
How to make sinfully rich brownies for real chocolate lovers By America’s Test Kitchen The Associated Press
Brownies are controversial territory to chart: Some like them cakey and light in flavour—more of a snack than a rich dessert some like them moist and chewy and others, the biggest chocoholics, like them to be purely decadent—almost as dense as fudge and deliciously dark. We wanted to make sinfully rich brownies that would be a chocolate lover’s dream, so we started by using three forms of chocolate: unsweetened chocolate for intensity, cocoa powder for com-
plexity, and bittersweet or semisweet chocolate for moisture and well-rounded flavour. Melting butter along with the chocolate was the key to a fudgy texture, and a generous three eggs contributed richness and structure. In addition to providing a clean sweetness, granulated sugar gave the baked brownies a delicate, shiny, crackly top crust. We found it best to cut these brownies into small bites rather than big bakesale squares—a little goes a long way. Tasters preferred the more complex flavour of bittersweet chocolate
over semisweet chocolate, but either type works well here, as does 5 ounces of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips in place of the bar chocolate.
FUDGY BROWNIES Servings: 36 Start to finish: 1 hour 5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa 7/8 powder 1 1/4 cups (83/4 ounces) sugar 3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup (5 ounces) allpurpose flour Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 F. Make foil sling for 8-inch square baking pan by folding 2 long sheets of aluminum foil so each is 8 inches wide. Lay sheets of foil in pan perpendicular to each other, with extra foil hanging over edges of pan. Push foil into corners and up sides of pan, smoothing foil flush to pan. Grease foil. Microwave bittersweet and unsweetened chocolates in bowl at 50% power
for 2 minutes. Stir in butter and continue to microwave, stirring often, until melted. Whisk in cocoa and let mixture cool slightly. Whisk sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt in large bowl until combined. Whisk chocolate mixture into sugar mixture until smooth. Using rubber spatula, stir in flour until no dry streaks remain. Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until toothpick inserted in centre comes out with few moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Let brownies cool completely in pan on wire
rack, about 2 hours. Using foil overhang, remove brownies from pan. (Uncut brownies can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.) Cut into 36 squares before serving. Fudgy Triple-Chocolate Espresso Brownies: Whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder along with cocoa. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 98 calories 49 calories from fat 5 g fat (3 g saturated 0 g trans fats) 25 mg cholesterol 38 mg sodium 12 g carbohydrate 1 g fiber 8 g sugar 2 g protein.

new boss, “The belugas are in.” “What are they?” I Continued from page A6 asked. “Big White whales,” he said. “Go down to the dock and walk out on the ship (a sunken liberty ship poured full of concrete to make a dock) and you can see them jump out of the water.” Wanting my kids to see everything, I hurried up the hill in my old Willis Jeep, put the kids in the Jeep and thanked Helen for taking care of them. I drove back down to the dock and parked where the sign said “No Parking” and walked with my kids in tow, onto the big World War II Landing Craft. That was my first time I had ever been on a boat, sunk with cement or other wise. We walked the long expanse of the deck sticking high out of the water and walked up to the bow, leaned over the railing with the other onlookers and started looking for belugas. ALL OF THE SUDDEN this BIG creature leaps high out of the water!! My heart jumped out of my throat and I took off running. I stopped when I got to the edge of the dock, realizing then, I had left my kids standing out there!! The kids shouted, “MOM,” their eyes wide with shock. I hollered, “What was that?” A bystander, who later became my good friend said, “That’s a beluga.” Stifled giggles were heard all around me. I had to walk all the way back out to the bow of the boat, while everyone was giving me sideways glances, to retrieve my kids. They wanted to stay and watch for more belugas and I had to act like I was brave enough to stay. My boss and all the welders in Offshore Fabricators Shop were looking out the big wide doors and saw my swift getaway. They were impressed at how fast I could run. They eventually became my good friends and I was always teased about the first time I saw a beluga and my running abilities. My kids reminded me when I went to get them in the old green Jeep that I parked very close to the No Parking sign, just in case we had to leave in a hurry. They think I thought belugas were as big as Jonah’s Whale. The kids knew how scared I was of water, boats and a ship in this case. They also knew that I wanted them to see everything in the great state of Alaska. They tell me that I made them hold hands and walk down the middle of the sunken ship with its concrete deck, so we would not fall off or be thrown overboard. When we got to the bow of the ship. I instructed them to hang on tight to the railing: don’t climb on it, don’t move around, just stand still and watch. The next thing they remember is the beluga jumping out of the water, me screaming and taking off down the middle of the ship without them. In there utter disbelief — Mom was running away from them and leaving them stranded. After all I had told them NOT to move. My oldest daughter, Gail, says that when I walked back to retrieve them, down the middle of the ship I was shaking like a leaf and barely could talk. I must have been quite a sight! A tugboat tied to the dock and all those guys in the fabrication shop saw this lady who had lost her mind, running down the middle of the deck screaming at a beluga jumping out of the water. And that is how I made my mark and my beginning in Alaska. All those giggling, laughing people became my very good friends in years to come.
MONKEY BARS I made all the following cookies for the Fireweed Greenhouse Open House last week. They were a hit and many came back for a second cookie and some ladies asked for the recipes.

Mash banana, sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in in large bowl. Mix thoroughly. (I used my mixer for this). Stir in flour until just blended and stir in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Spread batter into a 15- by 10-inch pan-type cookie sheet and sprinkle rest of chocolate chips over top. Bake 15 to 20 minutes but test with toothpick to see if middle is done. Cool on rack and cut lengthwise into 4 strips and then cut each strip into 10 pieces. THANK YOU ELAINE!

Homer softball rolls past Soldotna By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
The Homer Mariners plated eight runs in the second inning of a Northern Lights Conference game with Soldotna and cruised from there on the arm of junior Annalynn Brown to win 12-2 in five innings Tuesday night in Soldotna. Homer (2-1 in conference, 12-6 overall) is fresh off a weekend tournament title at the Rally in the Valley at Redington High, and with Tuesday’s win over SoHi (2-2 conference, 3-3 overall) pushed its win streak to seven in a row. After a quick first inning, Homer brought 13 batters to the plate in the top of the second, using a patient approach to keep the train moving on SoHi starter Casey Earll. The Mariners got five walks, three hits and two hit-by-pitches off a struggling Earll to take a daunting 8-0 lead. From there, it was all about Annalyn Brown’s complete game gem. Brown
was working toward a shutout before giving up two runs in the fifth, and credited the defense behind her for giving her confidence. “It wasn’t just me, I had a great defense behind me,” Brown said. “I definitely couldn’t have done it without some of the great plays that happened today.” Brown finished the day with an efficient 44 strikes on 65 pitches, striking out three and walking only one while scattering five hits. “Annalyn is just a rock,” said Homer coach Bill Bell. “She doesn’t seem to have any emotions, things don’t flap her very much. Mechanically, she’s been having a few issues throughout the season but she was doing OK with those today, and she’s just somebody that goes next pitch.” Overall the Homer defense retired 11 Stars batters on either fly-outs or groundouts, with crisp fielding being the theme of the day. “I would not be the pitcher I am without my teammates behind me,” Brown
said. Being familiar with Soldotna’s lineup also helped. Brown said she relied primarily on her fastball to get quick outs, and just put her heater on the weak spots of each SoHi hitter. “We’ve played this team so much, I’ve learned these batters,” Brown said. “I know what they like to hit and what they don’t like to hit.” Soldotna head coach Kelli Knoebel said the big second inning by Homer made life tough for the Stars in their attempts to dig out of the big hole. “I thought we had a good approach but got impatient at times,” Knoebel said. “Unfortunately, Casey struggled again with her consistency on the mound. “Hats off to Homer. Annalynn pitched very well.” Mariners freshman Zoe Adkins went 3 for 4 with two RBIs to lead the Homer offense, while leadoff hitter Grace Godfrey was 1 for 2 with two RBIs, two runs and See BALL, page A11

Soccer: Homer sweeps Nikiski; Soldotna sweeps Seward Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The visiting Homer girls soccer team scored with less than three minutes left in the game to pull out a 2-1 Peninsula Conference victory over Nikiski on Tuesday. The Mariners move to 9-2-4 and 3-0-2 in the
league, while Nikiski falls to 2-6-2 and 2-6-0. “That goal really changed things a lot,” Homer coach Mike Tozzo said. “It made everybody breathe easier. We were just ready to get the heck out of there afterward.” Brenna McCarron, assisted by Sienna Carey,
Blues oust Stars ST. LOUIS (AP) — Pat Maroon always imagined becoming a hometown hero. The 31-year-old St. Louis native got to live out that fantasy Tuesday night. Maroon scored 5:50 into the second overtime, Jordan Binnington made 29 saves and the St. Louis Blues outlasted the Dallas Stars 2-1 in Game 7 of their Western Conference semifinal playoff series. St. Louis will face the winner of the San Jose-Colorado series in the conference final. Maroon slammed in a loose puck after Robert Thomas hit the goal post on a rush down the right wing. The puck then bounced off Dallas goalie Ben Bishop and dropped in the crease. It was the second game-winning goal of the series for Maroon, who savored the moment in front of dozens of family and friends.
Ostrander nabs Athlete of Week By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
Boise State redshirt junior Allie Ostrander was named Mountain West Women’s Track Athlete of the Week on Tuesday afternoon. Ostrander posted the fastest collegiate time in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase Thursday at the Payton Jordan Invitational at Standford University, although it wasn’t without some help. Ostrander won the race in 9 minutes, 45.66 seconds, but had to sprint out New Mexico’s Adva Cohen by .05 seconds. Ostrander’s time was the fastest by an American woman in the event in 2019, and is currently the third-fastest in the world this year.
put the Mariners up 1-0 25 minutes into the game. At the beginning of the second half, Jordyn Stock tied it for Nikiski on a penalty kick. “We didn’t play very well,” Tozzo said. “Nikiski controlled possession and took more shots than us. Nikiski outplayed us in almost every aspect of the game.

Dakota State University sprinter Brenner Furlong helped the Trojans 400-meter relay team to an NAIA national qualifying time Saturday in the Dakota Relays at Howard Wood Field in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Furlong, a 2018 Soldotna grad, led off the relay as the Trojans won with a blazing time of 41.54 seconds, which is also the 13th-fastest time in the NAIA this spring, and is the third-fastest in Dakota State history. Furlong also ran to fifth place in the 200 meters with a personal-best time of 22.25 seconds.
them.” The coach said her team played with the theme of everything to prove and nothing to lose. “There was more communication, more focus and more intensity,” Zimmerman said. “They really played smart soccer. I’d like to think it was one of our
best games of the year.” The coach said Tika Zimmerman did well hustling and creating opportunities, while Abby Bystedt was fantastic in goal. Homer boys 2, Nikiski 1 The visiting Mariners See KICK, page A11

Austin Shafford, assisted by Daniel Reutov, put the Mariners up 29 minutes into the game, but just after the half Cooper Stock, on an assist from Shane Weathers, tied the game. Reutov then won it with three minutes to play. Homer coach Warren Waldorf said there are a number of
reasons he could give for the close result, but the bottom line is Nikiski played well. “They’ve got some good players in the midfield and they got a good goal,” Waldorf said. “In some ways, I was a little disappointed they didn’t finish with a draw. It would have been exciting for them. I’m relieved we got the win.” Nikiski assistant Tyler Smith said the Bulldogs focused on playing their style and it resulted in their best game of the season. “In a lot of these games, we’ve had to grow mentally,” he said. “I feel like now
the second inning arrived, things started happening. Earll issued walks to the first two Homer batters before a single by Adkins loaded the bases. Hannah Hatfield grounded out to bring in the game’s first run, then was followed by a two-run double from Kaylin Anderson to put Homer up 3-0.
that we’re finally playing mentally tough, we can play bigger, faster and stronger out on the field.” Smith said center back Cody Handley kept the action in front of him, while Michael Mysing and Gavin White worked through physical play in the midfield.

Grace Godfrey and Brown both drew walks to load the bases again, and Brianna Hetrick was hit by Earll to force in a run.

three goals of the game — the first unassisted, the second and third from Ryann Cannava and Katharine Bramante. “The girls were happy to see her back out there,” Soldotna coach Jimmy Love said. “She had some giddyup in her step, she was moving all over the place. To sit there and watch her team play against their archrival had to be a big bummer for her.” Other goals came from Ryann Cannava, Sierra Kuntz, Drysta CrosbySchneider from Cameron Blackwell and Meijan Leaf, Crosby-Schneider
said. “It was just taking us a little long to gear up and get going, but then they do.” Hatfield struck out to end the inning, but SoHi was left staring at a big deficit. Later, Godfrey put a groundball through the gap for a two-run double in the fourth inning, pushing the lead to 11-0.
from Blackwell, and Jordan Strausbaugh from Haley Buckbee and Rhys Cannava. Margardia Mendoca had the shutout in net. Love said the Stars took care to not run up the score, but he still thought something was missing from his team’s play. “We could have come out with a little more excitement,” he said. Soldotna boys 3, Seward 1 The host Stars topped the Seahawks in Peninsula Conference play to move to 106-0 and 4-2-0.
Soldotna led 2-1 at the half on goals from Maleda Denbrock and Kaleb Swank. Seward’s tally came from Bjorn Nilsson. Swank then finished it off with another score in the second half. Seward coach Dustin Phillips said Collin Mullaly was his man of the match, while Soldotna coach David Holmes praised Denbrock. “He’s the kind of kid, even when he loses the ball, it still kind of magically reappears at his feet,” Holmes said of the freshman. “He’s a fun kid to watch. In the next couple of years, he should be a really solid player.”
Soldotna baseball cruises past Kenai Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The Soldotna walked away with a dominant 13-2 win over Kenai Central in Southcentral Conference play Tuesday evening at the Kenai Little League fields. Soldotna moved to 2-2 in the conference and 2-6 overall, while Kenai is still searching for its first win at 0-4 in the league and 0-5 overall. David Michael sparked the
SoHi offense with four runs batted in on a 2-for-5 day. Michael was joined by Jeremy Kupferschmid going 2 for 3 with two RBIs, Trapper Thompson hitting 3 for 3 with two runs, Brennen Werner going 2 for 4 and Davey Belger going 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Harold Ochea scored both Kenai runs on SoHi fielding errors, reaching on a double in the fourth inning and single in the sixth put the Kards on the board, and finished 2 for 3 on the day. Sam Ber-
ry also hit 2 for 3. Kupferschmid sparkled on the mound for SoHi, pitching a no-hit bid before being pulled after two innings of work. Kupferschmid struck out five and walked two. Tanner Ussing went 2 2/3 in relief and whiffed four while scattering four hits. Trapper Thompson and Atticus Gibson finished the game, with Thompson giving up one unearned run on two hits and one walk while whiffing one in 1 1/3 innings, and Gibson got
the final out on a strikeout. Ochea went 4 1/3 for Kenai, giving up eight runs (four earned) on eight hits and six walks, but notched seven strikeouts along the way. Parker Mattox and Sam Berry came on in relief, with Mattox giving up five runs on five hits in 1 1/3 frames and Berry getting the final out with a punchout. A leadoff single by Kupferschmid in the first inning eventually led to an early 1-0 SoHi lead on a run-scoring passed ball by Ochea.
SoHi tacked on three runs in the second inning, getting an RBI groundout by Atticus Gibson, a double by Davey Belger and a single by Kupferschmid, pushing the Stars lead to 4-0. SoHi loaded the bases with one out in the third, but the Kardinals escaped the jam with consecutive strikeouts by Ochea. David Michael tallied a runscoring single in the fourth, an RBI ground-out in the fifth and a two-run single in the sixth.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, May 8, the 128th day of 2019. There are 237 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 8, 1996, South Africa took another step from apartheid to democracy by adopting a constitution that guaranteed equal rights for blacks and whites. On this date: In 1429, the Siege of Orleans (ohr-lay-AHN’) during the Hundred Years’ War ended as English troops withdrew after being defeated by French forces under Joan of Arc. In 1541, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto reached the Mississippi River. In 1794, Antoine Lavoisier (lah-vwahz-YAY’), the father of modern chemistry, was executed on the guillotine during France’s Reign of Terror. In 1921, Sweden’s Parliament voted to abolish the death penalty. In 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced on radio that Nazi Germany’s forces had surrendered, and that “the flags of freedom fly all over Europe.” In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon was shoved, stoned, booed and spat upon by anti-American protesters in Lima, Peru. In 1970, anti-war protests took place across the United States and around the world; in New York, construction workers broke up a demonstration on Wall Street. In 1973, militant American Indians who had held the South Dakota hamlet of Wounded Knee for 10 weeks surrendered. In 1978, David R. Berkowitz pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn courtroom to murder, attempted murder and assault in connection with the “Son of Sam” shootings that claimed six lives and terrified New Yorkers. (Berkowitz was sentenced to six consecutive life prison terms.) In 1984, the Soviet Union announced it would boycott the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In 1987, Gary Hart, dogged by questions about his personal life, including his relationship with Miami model Donna Rice, withdrew from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. In 2003, the Senate unanimously endorsed adding to NATO seven former communist nations: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Ten years ago: White House aide Louis Caldera resigned for his role in a $328,835 photo-op flyover by an Air Force One jet above New York City that sparked panic and flashbacks to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Dominic DiMaggio, the Boston Red Sox center fielder and brother of Joe, died in Marion, Massachusetts, at age 92. Five years ago: Syrian rebels leveled a historic hotel being used as an army base in the northern city of Aleppo by detonating bomb-packed tunnels beneath it, killing a still-undetermined number of soldiers. House Republicans jumped into a new election-season investigation of the deadly Benghazi assault, naming majority members of a special House committee. One year ago: President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear accord with Iran and restored harsh sanctions; Trump had been a severe critic of the deal negotiated by the Obama administration in which Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear program. Gina Haspel, nominated to be CIA director, said that if confirmed, she would not undertake a detention and harsh interrogation program like the controversial one used after 9/11. (Haspel would be confirmed by a Senate vote of 54-45.) James Paxton of the Seattle Mariners pitched a no-hitter against the Blue Jays in Toronto, becoming the first Canadian to achieve that feat in his home country. Former coal executive Don Blankenship, who had served a year in prison for his role in a mine explosion that killed 29 men, lost a Republican U.S. Senate primary in West Virginia, finishing a distant third to state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. Today’s Birthdays: Naturalist Sir David Attenborough is 93. Singer Toni Tennille is 79. Actor James Mitchum is 78. Country singer Jack Blanchard is 77. Jazz musician Keith Jarrett is 74. Actor Mark Blankfield is 71. Singer Philip Bailey (Earth, Wind and Fire) is 68. Rock musician Chris Frantz (Talking Heads) is 68. Rockabilly singer Billy Burnette is 66. Rock musician Alex Van Halen is 66. Actor David Keith is 65. Actor Raoul Max Trujillo is 64. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is 58. Actress Melissa Gilbert is 55. Rock musician Dave Rowntree (Blur) is 55. Country musician Del Gray is 51. Rock singer Darren Hayes is 47. Singer Enrique Iglesias is 44. Blues singer-musician Joe Bonamassa is 42. Actor Matt Davis is 41. Singer Ana Maria Lombo (Eden’s Crush) is 41. Actor Elyes Gabel is 36. Actor Domhnall Gleeson is 36. Neo-soul drummer Patrick Meese (Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats) is 36. Actress Julia Whelan (WAY’-lan) is 35. Actress Nora Anezeder is 30. Thought for Today: “A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.” -- Louis Nizer, American lawyer (1902-1994).

Man’s private mailbox leads wife to question finances from your parents for good reason. You are no more “in the middle” than you want to be. Tell your sister that if a family member is in trouble, THAT person should approach your parents and ask for help, not do it through you or another interme- Abigail Van Buren diary. DEAR ABBY: I have a 27-year-old son, “Bobby.” He was living with me and his grandma, and two years ago he got a puppy, which I took care of, pottytrained and fed. “Champ” even slept with me. Needless to say, he became a family dog, and my 83-year-old mom became quite attached to him. Bobby started dating a gal. After four months, they decided to move in together, and he took Champ with him. My mom has been crying every day for our pet. Because they both work, they leave Champ home alone all day, and he howls until they get home. I asked Bobby if we could have visitation once a week because we miss Champ so much. His girlfriend got involved and told me

The devil’s in the cake details Dear Heloise: Yesterday I baked a boxed devil’s-food cake. In place of the required 1 cup of water, I substituted COFFEE from breakfast. After it was baked, I removed the 13-by-9 cake pan from the oven and immediately sprinkled chocolate chips all over the top of the cake. In no time the chips melted, so I spread them with my spatula to make frosting. I even added walnut bits to complete the creation. -- Marilyn K., Huntington Beach, Calif. WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT? Dear Heloise: My husband, who is now retired, came up with a couple of ideas I’d like to share: 1. I used to cut olives up by hand until he suggested that I use an egg slicer. I can put four or five olives in at a time and slice them. 2. When picking up or delivering hot foods, heat up the inside of an insulated bag with a hair dryer first. Keeps everything warm. -- Kathy B., North Canton, Ohio PASS THE PLASTIC? Dear Heloise: I enjoy reading your column in The Villages Daily Sun when we’re in Florida. We’ve been hearing that sea salt has plastic in it due to all the plastic pollution in the oceans. Is this true, and how dangerous is it to consume sea salt now? -- Mary Ann S., Rochester Hills, Mich. Mary Ann, recent studies have found microplastics in sea salt. They concluded that the majority of contamination comes from the plastics found in microfibers and items such as water bottles. It’s believed that Americans do ingest particles of plastic every year. Currently, we lack clear, concise studies on the effects of ingesting plastic particles on human health. -- Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, May 8, 2019: This year, you appear to have a special antenna that picks up on subtle moods and unrevealed agendas. As a result, others might believe that you have the gift of precognition. In a sense, you do. You will see what others don’t. If you are single, be open to outside input. You often might be more emotional than you realize. In this case, kick back and observe, especially when developing a viable bond. If you are attached, the two of you will work on creating greater security and stability as a couple. The next year could be significant. Know that CANCER means well, but can be overly emotional. Chaos often results when dealing with them, so stay as clear as possible. 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 are full of surprises, some of which could jolt you once you realize their implications. As a result, a lot of confusion could come out of nowhere. A discussion helps you resolve a building misunderstanding. Tonight: Homeward bound. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Speak your mind, but remain sure of yourself. You could subconsciously trigger a wild interaction that might toss you into confusion just when you thought you had matters handled. Allow extra time in case misunderstandings ensue. Tonight: Return calls. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Decide to confirm what seems like a hunch or sixth sense. You might be uncomfortable trying to sort through the options. Follow through on what you decide feels right. Tonight: Make it your treat. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Eye the bigger picture, and do not get too wound up in the details. You gain a new perspective the more you look at a difficult situation. Your mind drifts to a potential visit or trip. Tonight: Making a decision could be difficult. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You relate well to a loved one or dear friend. Have a long-overdue chat. This person might stun you with some unexpected news. The other party wants to approach a new hobby or interest with you.

Champ is their dog and they are not sharing him. I was very upset since he was our dog for two years. I no longer have a relationship with my son over the dog and girlfriend, and my mother has a broken heart. Am I wrong here? -- CANINE WAR IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WAR: You weren’t wrong to be upset. Your mistake was letting the disagreement cause an estrangement from your son. If Champ’s incessant howling causes a problem for Bobby’s neighbors, he and his girlfriend might be receptive to letting you and Grandma take him while they are working. However, if they cannot see the logic, consider adopting a rescue dog to ease your mother’s aching heart and give her something else to love other than Champ. READER ALERT!

DEAR ABBY: My sister “Thea” has distanced herself from the family. I understand why she did. Our parents were mentally, physically and emotionally abusive while we were growing up, with one who instigated the issues and the other taking it out on us kids. I feel stuck in the middle of chaos. My parents have started to work on their behaviors and make amends for past conduct. It comes a bit too late for apologies, even for me, but I decided to give them a second chance since they seem sincere. Thea told them she wants nothing to do with them. Recently, she contacted me asking me to suggest that my parents help out a family member who was in dire straits. I told Thea I would suggest it, but I couldn’t guarantee what their response would be. Their response was that if she wanted something from them, she needed to ask them herself and not through an intermediary. I’m at a loss as to how to tell both sides that I’m tired of being the middleman, as this has become an emotional thing between all parties involved. I’m also not sure how to open the discussion for them to air their differences whether they reconcile or not. Help! -- STUCK IN THE MIDDLE DEAR STUCK: Thea has cut herself off

Eagle with 8-foot wing span crashes into home KODIAK (AP) — Many are familiar with uninvited guests unexpectedly crashing at the house, but an eagle took such a scenario to new heights in Kodiak. An eagle grabbed a piece of freezer-burned halibut that someone had thrown out, and apparently misjudged its climb up a cliff with the 4-pound piece of fish while likely being chased by another eagle, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Tuesday. The wrong trajectory led
the eagle to smash through a front window of Stacy Studebaker's home Saturday. "It was so unbelievably loud. My first thought was: I thought an atomic bomb had dropped and the windows were blowing out," said Studebaker, who founded the local chapter of the Audubon Society. She was astonished to find the damage came from a bird crashing through her window. "I ran around the corner
and here was this eagle, in the living room," Studebaker said. "Shards of glass were flying everywhere, and the eagle flew over to the other plate glass window and was trying to get out. It was scratching at the window sill and pecking, it was just frantic." She opened a door in the kitchen and tried to coax the eagle out of the house but the bird had a different idea. "It went into the kitchen, along with its 8-foot wingspan — we're talking stuff
coming off the walls, everything coming off the counters, it was just mayhem," she said. A neighbor showed up, and they tried again to get the eagle outside. "But it freaked out again and flew into the dining room and there was just stuff flying everywhere — broken glassware, art supplies, you name it. It was still trying to get out through the windows in the dining room," Studebaker said. Eventually they maneu-
vered behind the bird and were able to get it out of the house, which took her and her husband hours to clean up. "If you could have seen the house, it really looked like a bomb had gone off," she said. "There was glass that had been thrown into a bookcase that was 25 feet away and all over the furniture. The carpet was sparkling with glass." She added: "It was like having a wrecking ball coming through your window — with wings!" Except for some blood
around the beak, the eagle didn't appear to be inured. She said it's not uncommon for people to be cleaning out freezers this time of the year, and that's where the eagle likely found the halibut. Two days later, her suspicions were proven true when someone knocked at her door. One of her neighbors was standing there with a bouquet of flowers. The neighbor said, "It was my halibut ... I feel so bad," Studebaker said.

an old way of doing business is unacceptable and contrary to decades of court decisions.” Forest Service spokespeople did not comment on the lawsuit. The Forest Service is currently accepting public comment on the project until May 13. People can upload comments to the Forest Service’s website at https://cara.ecosystemmanagement.org/Public/ entInput?project=50337. Earthjustice, a nonprofit environmental law organization, is representing Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, Alaska Rain-
forest Defenders, Defenders of Wildlife, Sierra Club, Alaska Wilderness League, Natural Resources Defense Council, National Audubon Society, and the Center for Biological Diversity in this lawsuit. Earthjustice has been fighting this sale for a while, having filed a formal objection to the project in December. Environmentalists have argued that large-scale logging and road-building would damage wildlife habitat, impact sport and subsistence hunters and recreational use of the forests. The proposed sale has
earned the attention of organizations throughout the country. Alli Harvey, from the California-based environmental organization Sierra Club, said the Tongass has national importance. “Tongass National Forest is the crown jewel of our nation’s forest system and it’s no place for logging,” Harvey, Alaska representative for Sierra Club’s Our Wild America campaign, said in the release. “An accurate environmental review would have made it clear that this sale would be a threat to Alaska’s extraordinary environment and
our tourism and recreation economy and should never take place.” Conservation advocates have also argued that logging is not the economic driver that some think it might be. The timber industry currently accounts for less than 1 percent of jobs in the region, according to the annual Southeast by the Numbers report from Southeast Conference and Rain Coast Data. This project comes at a time when state and federal officials are looking to change regulations relating to construction in Alaska’s
forests. The 2001 Roadless Rule blocks construction of new roads on areas including millions of acres of the Tongass, and the State of Alaska and the Forest Service have been in talks about adapting the rule since this summer. Environmental groups recently scored a win in a decadelong legal battle with the Forest Service. In early December, a federal court invalidated four logging projects in the Tongass that would have cut about 33 million board feet of timber from old-growth forest.
ski, most people could drive right by it and not realize it’s there. After walking up a narrow flight of stairs to a conference room, tour participants listened to a brief introduction from Jorgensen before being outfitted with the noise-blocking headphones, hardhats and safety goggles required for the bulk of the tour. The first stop was the control room, which was decked out with wall-towall computer screens, control panels and camera feeds and was significantly quieter than the rest of the plant. No headphones were needed yet. Jorgensen said that the plant’s activities are monitored from the room
24/7. The system only requires one person to man the control station at any given time, and Jorgensen said the plant typically only requires a handful of employees to operate — four crews consist of a total of 10 operators and four shift supervisors. One of the most important aspects of power generation that the control room monitors is the output frequency, which has to stay at around 60 hertz (cycles per second.) As people turn their power on and off throughout the day and the load on the plant changes, the plant’s systems adjust the speed of the power output in real time to maintain a consistent 60 hertz frequency. Jorgensen said that
this consistency is important because if the output frequency gets too low, the system could shut off. Once the control room had been covered, the visitors donned their headphones and entered the belly of the beast, also known as the combustion turbine room. Jorgensen described the combustion turbine as a “jet engine in a box.” The turbine took up most of the space in the large warehouse-like room, and even with protective headphones the roar of the machine could be heard loud and clear. Jorgensen said that the waste heat generated during natural gas combustion exits at 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is then captured by a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and used to drive a steam turbine, generating additional power output. The HRSG — pronounced “her-sig” — essentially allows power to be generated twice from a single combustion cycle and is an efficient way to maximize the output from the natural gas. The water that is boiled for the steam turbine has to be completely free of impurities, which is where the water treatment facility for the plant comes into play.
Here, Jorgensen explained that since the water is used for multiple cycles before being discarded, qualities such as Ph balance, purity and conductivity are constantly being monitored and adjusted. If any impurities such as sulfur or iron are in the water, they plate out on the turbine itself as the water turns into steam. This can lead to maintenance and cleaning issues and impact the overall efficiency of the turbine. Every power plant needs multiple contingency plans in place in case the unexpected happens and the turbines stop firing. For the Nikiski plant, one of those backups is an 8,000-gallon diesel generator. The generator burns diesel at a rate of about 149 gallons per hour, so Jorgensen said its use is primarily reserved for maintenance operations that require one of the turbines to go offline. That kind of fuel efficiency also makes it pretty impractical for road trips. As Jorgensen mentioned during the tour, the water that is boiled to drive the steam turbine is used over multiple cycles. The problem with steam, Jorgensen said, is that there is no good
way to recapture it. The solution to this problem at the Nikiski plant comes in the form of a massive air-cooled condensing system that uses 36-foot diameter fans to push the steam up into a set of large radiator fins, extracting the heat from the steam and turning it back into liquid form that is then able to be recaptured. Jorgensen led the tour up into the condenser and explained the cleaning and maintenance procedures as guests peered down at the massive fan blades turning slowly below them. The fans were slowed down significantly for the tour, as they normally push air up at about 45,000 cubic feet per second. As the tour concluded, Jorgensen brought the guests into a conference room for lunch and to answer any questions about the plant. Heather Smith with HEA said that the tours this time around filled up quickly, and as a result the association will likely organize another set of tours in the fall. One of the guests offered a suggestion for future tours: “Besides telling people to wear closed-toe shoes, you should also warn them about the heights!”

ize that it is the only option to provide you with a clear path to licensure,” Johnsen said in a letter to School of Education students. “I also hope you will stay the course, graduate, remain in Alaska to teach our children and contribute your unique talents to Alaska’s future. Affected programs include: • Bachelor of Arts, Elementary Education • Post‐Baccalaureate, Elementary Education • Master of Arts in Teaching, Secondary Education • Bachelor of Arts, Early Childhood Education • Post‐Baccalaureate, Early Childhood Education • Graduate Certificate, Special Education (initial licensure) • M.Ed, Early Child-

While UAF and UAS both have many of the same licensure programs, neither campuses have early childhood special education and special education initial licensure programs. Those programs would be entirely discontinued from the University of Alaska. In January, there were 504 students enrolled in the School of Education, with 363 of the students being affected by the accreditation loss. The university said 34 students from affected programs were expected to graduate this spring and summer.
Before setting up a bait station, hunters must register with Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Hunters may not register more than two bear baiting stations, but may be eligible to hunt at someone else’s bear baiting site if all appropriate registration and steps are taken. When registering sites, hunters receive a sign to post at their stations within view of the bait. “Bears often destroy these signs so make copies and always have spare signs with you. The sign provided by ADF&G or any sign you
make yourself must clearly show three things: text saying “Bear Bait Station”; your permit number; and the hunting license numbers of yourself and any other hunter(s) you’ve preapproved to hunt at that bait station,” according to Fish and Game. “You may register your bait station 15 days before the start of the season, but bait cannot be placed in the field until the first day of the season. You may place bait at only two bait stations at the same time,” Fish and Game states.

not decided where exactly the logging will take place. Without a specific plan in place, Earthjustice attorney Tom Waldo said in the release, it’s impossible for the Forest Service to adequately assess the project’s impact. “The uninformed approach by the Forest Service — approving this mammoth sale before even figuring out the details — is blatantly unlawful,” Waldo said in the release. “This throwback to

Cycle Plant generates power through natural gas combustion as well as through a steam turbine for a total potential output of 80 megawatts of power, and Jorgensen said that the actual output varies from month to month. In a month like May where heaters aren’t being run and fish aren’t being processed yet, the output averages around 60 megawatts. The plant has generated the bulk of HEA’s power supply since January of 2014, but with its location nestled right next to the Marathon refinery in Niki-

revoked, a letter from the Accreditation Council for the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation said. Out of five required standards, the school only met one, according to the accreditation report. The accreditation letter and report instructed the university on how to meet standards, and apply for an appeal. At the recommendation of the University of Alaska President Jim Johnsen, the Board of Regents voted April 9 to discontinue initial licensure within the School of Education. “Though this decision may disappoint some of you, I hope you will come to real-
