In the news Mueller to testify publicly before House committees July 17 WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller has agreed to testify publicly before two House committees after Democrats issued subpoenas to compel him to appear, the chairmen of the two committees announced Tuesday. The testimony from the former FBI director before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees is likely to be the most highly anticipated congressional hearing in years, particularly given Mueller’s resolute silence throughout his two-year investigation into Russian contacts with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Mueller never responded to angry, public attacks from Trump, nor did he ever personally join his prosecutors in court or make announcements of criminal charges from the team. His sole public statement came from the Justice Department podium last month as he announced his departure, when he sought to explain his decision to not indict Trump or to accuse him of criminal conduct. He also put lawmakers on notice that he did not ever intend to say more than what he put in the 448-page report. “We chose those words carefully and the work speaks for itself,” Mueller said May 29. “I would not provide information beyond what is already public in any appearance before Congress.” Those remarks did little to settle the demands for his testimony. The two committees continued negotiations that had already been going on for weeks, saying they still wanted to hear from Mueller no matter how reluctant he was. — Associated Press

Anchor Point gravel pit gets OK By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
A controversial gravel pit permit was approved at Monday night’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission meeting. The vote to approve or deny the permit was postponed at the June 10 meeting after hours of public comment, much of which was in opposition of Emmitt Trimble’s Beachcomber LLC gravel pit in Anchor Point. The vote was 8-2, with commissioners Paul Whitney and Paulette Carluccio voting against the permit. Trimble said he was happy with the commission’s

py. Hans Bilben, who lives nearly 100 feet above the proposed pit, said he was very disappointed with the outcome. “If ever a gravel pit should be denied, it would have been this one,” he said. He said he didn’t feel like the commissioners knew what they were voting on. “It seemed like commissioners weren’t up on code dealing with gravel pits,” Bilben said. The proposed pit has been the center of a yearlong controversy between Trimble and neighboring property owners, who say borough gravel pit regulaSee GRAVEL, page A2

Crews work to keep fire from highway By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
The Swan Lake Fire has reached 37,430 acres, according to a Tuesday update from the Alaska Interagency Incident Management Team. Firefighter crews focused Tuesday on establishing a control line north of the Sterling Highway to prevent the blaze from spreading closer to the road. A community meeting will be held Wednesday in the Sterling Community Center at 6 p.m. to update the public on the status of the fire, as well as on the current strategies being used to contain it. Caused by lightning on June 5, the blaze is located about 2 miles north of the Sterling Highway and 5 miles east of the community of Sterling in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. See FIRE, page A3

Bikers take a ride for suicide awareness By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
On Sunday, dozens of bikers and other community members got together to ride through the town in solidarity and to raise awareness about suicide prevention. The first ever Ride for Sui-
cide Prevention and Awareness saw 38 motorcycles and more than 20 other vehicles drive from Soldotna to Nikiski and back again. The event was organized in just a few weeks by a group of five bikers who decided they wanted to make a difference in their com-
munity. Kyle Lee is one of those bikers, and he is all too familiar with the impact of suicide on the people left behind. Lee lost his best friend to suicide two years ago. That tragedy was compounded when he lost another close family friend
to suicide this past spring. After the friend’s funeral, Lee sat with his friends and fellow bikers Jeremy Gill, Brad Conklin and Jerry Winfrey at Ammo Can Coffee in Soldotna and asked a simple question: “What can we do to stop this?” The bikers had gotten to
know each other through Lee’s Let’s Go Ride Facebook page, a local group where motorcycle riders can coordinate going for rides together. So when they were figuring out how they could make an impact on the rising rates of suicide in the See RIDE, page A2

By BEN HOHENSTATT Juneau Empire
Six rallies around the state this week have one purpose — spurring Alaska’s U.S. senators and representative to stop Pebble Mine permitting. The U.S. House of Representative passed an amendment last week that would suspend funding for permitting for the Proposed Pebble Mine project near Bristol Bay, and a rally held outside Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s Juneau office Tuesday is part of a statewide push to get the Senate to do the same. “We need to send a message to the Trump administration, and we need to send them back to the drawing board,” said Lindsey Bloom, representative for Commercial Fisherman For Bristol Bay. Bloom said those who

oppose Pebble Mine are particularly hoping to prompt action from Murkowski, who previously wrote to the Corps
of Engineers requesting an extension for public comment period on the project’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
“We understand this is an extraordinary weight to put on one person, but that said her voice is powerful, and she speaks
for so many of us and the thousands of smaller voices across Alaska who are opposed to this project and concerned about the process we’ve been given,” Bloom said. “We are asking her to channel our voices, so that we can be heard in Washington, D.C. Unlike so many modern politicians, she is and can be truly beholden to the people of Alaska. We are fortunate to have a Senator who holds to her principles.” Murkowski’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Sullivan’s office also did not immediately respond. Mike Heatwole, spokesperson for Pebble Partnership, which was established in 2007 to design, permit, construct and operate the proposed mine, said encouraging the senators to act in a See MINE, page A3

country, the guys of Let’s Go Ride decided to do what they do best: go for a ride. That afternoon, the bikers made plans to organize a big ride through the central peninsula to bring attention to suicide, fight the stigma that surrounds the issue and make themselves available as a resource for those who may be struggling with suicidal thoughts. “When you have something like (suicide) happen, there’s a sort of ripple effect throughout the community,” Lee said. “The majority of the people we’ve talked to have been affected by it in some way.” At first, Lee and the others had low expectations for turnout, but word spread quickly throughout town and on social media.

tions wouldn’t adequately protect their homes from the impacts of the proposed gravel mine. Trimble is an owner of Coastal Realty, and his family has been developing and selling property in the area for 40 years. The property, totaling around 40 acres, sits at the bottom of a natural amphitheater, 500 feet from the Anchor River and near several state parks and campgrounds. He said he wants the property’s 40 or so acres to be multiuse, with 27 acres used to mine gravel, and the oceanfront parcels untouched, as a legacy property for his daughters. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission rarely denies gravel pit permits, but last July, Trimble’s application to excavate his Anchor Point property was denied after hours of public testimony raised concerns about po-

the day of the ride, Lee had said that if 10 bikers showed up and they could reach one person with their message, the event would be a success in his book. “The community and the riders are the fuel for this fire,” Lee said before the ride. “And holy cow has it blown up.” On the day of the event, Lee and the others were overwhelmed with support. Close to 150 people showed up in the parking lot of Hope Community Resources in Soldotna. Starting at the community center, the motorcade headed north on Kalifornsky Beach Road, turned onto Bridge Access Road and the Kenai Spur Highway toward Nikiski, made a stop at Nikiski Middle/Senior High School for a group photo, and headed back down the Kenai Spur toward Soldotna. The loop was completed back at Hope Community Resourc-
es where Yo! Tacos waited with food and refreshments. Along the way, the Kenai and Soldotna Police Departments lent their support, and blocked off intersections while the procession made its way through the different towns. “They (the police) did a phenomenal job, and it means a lot to us that they volunteered their time,” Conklin said. “The community support was just amazing.” Gill was at the front of the procession along with Jerry’s 16 year-old son Owen, and he said that a lot of drivers going the other way flashed their headlights or waved in support. Others helped clear the roadway or stopped to take pictures of the convoy as it passed. Lee and the others had planned to organize more rides in other towns across the state before this first one even took place. They have
begun to organize an event in Homer after a rider from the southern peninsula requested they do so. Lee said that a couple of families have since reached out to him for additional information regarding counseling and mental health services. With that in mind, Lee, Gill and Conklin considered the first ride a huge success and are hoping to carry that momentum into the future with more rides across the state — and maybe even a few snowmachine rides during the winter months when the motorcycles are put away. Lee, Conklin, Gill and Winfrey expressed their appreciation for all who came out or supported the event. “You can’t solve a problem if you ignore it,” Lee said. “If you were involved in this, thank you for showing your support and reminding the community that we’re still a community.”
tential disturbances created by the gravel pit, including impacted views, noise, dust, truck traffic and the property values of adjacent properties. Commissioners who voted to deny the permit said it wouldn’t meet the noise and visual impact conditions even with additional buffers, according to Clarion archives. Trimble’s efforts to mine the gravel on his property is well within the law, now that the permit is granted. For property owners in unzoned areas interested in mining gravel, certain conditions in borough code must be met to get a permit, including buffers, barriers and regulations for when heavy machinery like rockcrushers can be operated. If these conditions are met, permits can be issued, despite how the conditions required in the code adequately protect neighbors. At the June 10 meeting, the commission asked Trimble if he would be willing to implement several voluntary conditions, which aren’t required, but
could help minimize impact. Trimble said he would be willing to use a white noise backup alarm to help noise impacts. Trimble said the condition would only apply to his own vehicles, and not machines belonging to contractors. He also agreed to use a rolling berm to alleviate visual impacts. During the meeting, the planning department and the commission went over voluntary conditions placed on the applicant, and gave Trimble the opportunity to speak to those conditions. One of the new conditions prohibits activity at the pit during major summer holiday weekends, including the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day. Bilben called these voluntary conditions “fluff.” “The white noise condition — the commissioners didn’t even ask if he had any equipment,” Bilben said. “Shutting down on holidays does something for parks, but it doesn’t help the neighborhood.”
Trimble said he can’t govern the noise coming from contract trucks coming to the pit, but said he would do everything he could to keep noise down. “I can’t govern what happens with a truck that’s maybe one time going to come in there,” Trimble said at the meeting. Public comment was not allowed on the new conditions brought forward at Monday’s meeting. Trimble said he’s already started mining gravel on the property, on the small, 2.5-acre parcel he permitted about a year ago. Since the access bridge over the Anchor River can only hold 11 tons, Trimble said he will wait until the bridge is repaired to have gravel trucks travel over it, which he hopes will be by next summer. Bilben said the commission’s decision will be appealed. “It will be appealed again,” he said. “I think we have fairly strong grounds to appeal. I’m very disappointed, as was most of Anchor Point.”

Charles Le Grande Minium June 23, 1951 - June 20, 2019
Ninilchik resident, Charles Le Grande Minium, 67, passed away in Soldotna, AK, on June 20, 2019, following complications from surgery. A celebration of Chuck’s life will be held in Ninilchik late summer 2019. Chuck was born on June 23, 1951 to Charles and Vera Minium in Longview, Wash. He graduated from Kelso High School in 1969 where he excelled in sports. Chuck made his way to Alaska in 1984 and lived in Wasilla until . e worked as a millwright at the Cominco ine for many years as well as oil pla orms in the Cook Inlet. In 1998, Chuck moved to Ninilchik and spent many days logging but his real passion was shing. He eventually bought his own boat and enjoyed bringing friends, strangers, and anyone willing, out for an adventure on the water. In Ninilchik, Chuck found a community that welcomed him and cared deeply for him. If Chuck was not at the Senior Center for lunch, or the Buzz CafÊ for morning co ee someone was checking on him. Cousin Rob was instrumental in caring for Chuck and we are forever grateful. Chuck is survived by his brother, Duke; and sister, Marvel. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Vera. The family would like to thank eritage Place sta and caregivers for their e ceptional care and love that was shown to Chuck during the last year. Arrangements by Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai.

way that would pull funding from the permitting process undermines the purpose of National Environmental Policy Act, which requires federal agencies to assess environmental effects of proposed projects. “We’re certainly hopeful the Senate will stand up for NEPA and keep politics out of permitting,� Heatwole said. Opponents of the project opined the Corps of Engineers is politicized under the Trump Administration. “I think that’s a charge when you don’t like the outcome,� Heatwole said. During Tuesday’s rally, a lot of the criticism levied at the mine focused on its environmental impact and a sentiment that the scope of its negative impact on the environment — specifically salmon runs — hasn’t been fully taken into account. �The process is completely bankrupt and Sen. Murkowski needs to turn it around,� said Frank Rue, former commissioner for Alaska Department of Fish and Game, who spoke during the rally. “It is not possible to develop this mine without destroying the salmon runs in Bristol Bay.� Bloom said no amount of engineering will change the mine’s proximity to a salmon spawn spot and wetlands. Heatwole said more than a decade has been spent researching how the proposed mine will impact the environment. “We understand fully the cultural and commercial importance of salmon in the Bristol Bay region,� Heatwole said. Protecting the fish was chief concern shared by Nola Lamken, Juneau resident, and Guy Archibald,
staff scientist for Southeast Alaska Conservation Council. Both were among the roughly 40 rally-goers in attendance. Archibald said he worries about consistent incremental stress on the environment, which he compared to death by 1,000 cuts. He said constant activity at the mine would mean the environment would not have a chance to recover from the strain. “It’s the wrong mine in the wrong place,� Archibald said. “We don’t need more metal in our lives. We can’t trade fish for more metal.� Wrong mine, wrong place is a common refrain among those who oppose the mine. It’s a near-quote of late Sen. Ted Stevens. It was used by Joe Geldhof, who spoke during the rally, to indicate opposing the mine isn’t just a cause among liberal environmentalists. “This is not a partisan issue,� Geldhof said. “This is not a Southeast issue. This is an Alaska issue.� Public comment for the Army Corps of Engineers’ Draft Environmental Impact Statement closes Monday, and those at the rally said they hope elected officials make their voices heard before that window closes. “In just a matter of days, Senators Murkowski and Sullivan will have lost the opportunity to speak up for Alaskans on Pebble Mine for this federal permit,� Bloom said. “The time is now. She said a signal from senators that there are concerns about providing permitting to the mine would likely lead to a stall in the permitting process. Protesters said it would also let vocal Alaskans know they’re being heard. “Does she represent the state of Alaska or a foreign mining company?� Archibald asked.

What others say
US enables Egypt’s repressive regime It speaks volumes that the first
and only democratically elected president of Egypt dropped dead on Monday inside the glass cage he was confined to in a Cairo courtroom, where he was facing the latest in a long series of unfair trials. Mohamed Morsi did a poor job as Egyptian president before being ousted in a bloody military coup by the country’s current dictator, Abdel Fatah al-Sissi. But the gross mistreatment Mr. Morsi was subjected to over the past six years offers a vivid demonstration of how human rights have regressed in a country that once aspired to set political standards for the Middle East. Mr. Morsi was thrust into the center of Egypt’s democratic revolution after he was chosen by the Muslim Brotherhood, the country’s most popular political movement, as its candidate in the presidential election of 2012. An engineer by training, he had few political skills. Though he surprised his Islamist movement’s foes by seeking good relations with the United States and maintaining Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel, he resorted to autocratic methods in an effort to best secular opponents, as well as the entrenched military. The result was mass popular demonstrations that provided a pretext for Mr. Sissi’s July 2013 coup and the bloody repression that followed. Mr. Morsi was jailed with tens of thousands of others, most of whom remain in prison. For the past six years, he was held in solitary confinement, allowed to see his family on only three occasions. His protests and those of outside monitors that he was not being adequately treated for his medical conditions, including diabetes and liver problems, were ignored; a panel of British lawyers and politicians found last year that his treatment could be described as “torture.” Meanwhile he was subjected to multiple trials on a host of trumped-up charges, most recently espionage. Human rights advocates, including at the United Nations, called for an independent investigation of Mr. Morsi’s death — an inquiry that is as unlikely as it is needed. But perhaps his story will focus greater attention on the depravity of the Sissi regime, which is guilty of by far the worst human rights offenses in Egypt’s modern history. In addition to the tens of thousands imprisoned, thousands of other Muslim Brotherhood members or regime opponents have been tortured or murdered outright by security forces. The secular political parties and civil society groups that opposed Mr. Morsi have been destroyed; a once-pluralist press has been silenced. The United States has consistently enabled this horrific record, continuing to provide the military with $1.3 billion in annual aid. Congress has imposed human rights conditions only to see them waived by the Trump administration. President Trump has received Mr. Sissi twice at the White House and described him as a “great president.” Let the record show that this particular great president just presided over the cruel and unjust death of his predecessor. — The Washington Post, June 18

Change is felt on the mat V OICES OF THE P ENINSULA T ELA O’D ONNELL B ACHER This article originally appeared in the Homer News. When I started wrestling, girls on the mat were few and far between. In middle school, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Board of Education said I wasn’t allowed to wrestle. Only when I challenged them with Title IX did they allow me to get on the mat. I felt lucky to have the chance to wrestle and I knew that if I didn’t lay it all on the mat, if I ever gave up, it would be attributed to my gender rather than my character. The acceptance of girls in wrestling was not a given; it was hard earned by each wrestler, coach, official and supporter of female wrestling. Now as a coach, when I walk into the mat room, it’s different. I feel accepted — and honestly I am taken aback by it. I grew up so accustomed to the idea that I must prove to the room that I belong here. It’s a real example of social change in gender equality. Change is seen through policy. Alaska was the fifth state in the country to sanction high school girls
wrestling. Furthermore, the KPBSD, who once tried to keep girls off the mat, is considering funding the first high school girls coaching position in Alaska. Change is seen through programs and funding. This spring, Homer hosted an all-girls wrestling camp for 35 Alaska girls. Scholarships were provided by the Homer Foundation’s Youth Advisory Council. One former Mariner wrestler offered up a scholarship because she wanted to pay forward the opportunities she was afforded by a generous community. Change is felt on the mat. The wrestlers, both girls and boys, earn their place — but not as a representative of their gender, but as representatives of their community, family and team. It’s about wrestling, not gender. Socrates said, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” By building girls programs our wrestling community strengthened wrestling for all. This year, at the Alaska State Championships, a new wave of wrestlers made a splash on the mat. Moms. Alaska Moms On the Mat, or AMOM, developed as a fundraiser for Alaska girl wrestlers. At first, I was curious with a tinge of skepticism. Were moms really going to sign up? Wrestling is intense; a few minutes of wrestling takes a kind
of conditioning that is unlike any other sport. It’s a battle — a display of athleticism, body, will and heart. Moms were up for this? The idea intimidated me and I’m an Olympic wrestler who’s had three natural child births. This spring, 34 moms competed against each other, and honestly, they stole the show. Moms trained with their teams, learned moves, and geared up in singlets. When a mom match was on the mat, the energy filled the big Menard Sports Center. People couldn’t stay in their seats as they crowded towards the mat. I watched children coaching their moms before their matches. Dads cheered and yelled encouragements. Coaches sat on the edge of their seats coaching like it was the NCAA championships. All for the wrestling moms, who laid it all on the mat through frustration, bruises, and exhaustion? Win or lose, each mom stepped off the mat as a respected wrestler. Witnessing how our community’s culture celebrates and supports our girl and mom wrestlers shows that we are on the forefront of this movement. Thank you to all of you social change makers. Tela O’Donnell Bacher is a mother, Olympian, advocate, and coach. Tela and her husband, Paul, raise their three children close to nature in a community worth celebrating.

Judge allows Democrats' lawsuit against Trump to proceed By TAMI ABDOLLAH Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a lawsuit that accuses President Trump of profiting off the presidency in violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause can move forward. U.S. District Judge Emmett G. Sullivan of the District of Columbia ruled against Justice Department lawyers who sought a mid-case appeal to a higher court and a stay on proceedings in the meantime. The case brought by nearly 200 congressional Democrats argues that Trump has been accepting gifts from foreign and state governments without congressional approval. Trump, unlike modern presidents before him, has declined to fully divest from his businesses. The lawmakers say Trump's unwillingness to ask permission is akin to denying lawmakers the right to do their jobs.
The judge's decision clears the way for the lawmakers to begin subpoenas for information. Tuesday's ruling came as Trump was heading to a roundtable event and fundraiser with supporters at his namesake hotel in Washington, just steps from the White House. "This case should have been dismissed," said Justice Department spokeswoman Kelly Laco. "It presents important questions that warrant immediate appellate review and is another impractical attempt to disrupt and distract the President from his official duties. The Department of Justice will appeal the court's decision." The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi welcomed the ruling. As the Trump administration largely stonewalls congressional investigations, House Democrats have increasingly turned to the courts for re-
lief. It's the latest of several recent court rulings in their favor. "No one is above the law - not even the president," Pelosi said in a statement. "Once again, the courts have resoundingly reaffirmed our efforts to hold the President accountable for corruption, and ensure that the President acts in the public interest, not his own interest." One of the lead lawmakers in the suit, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., tweeted, "This tremendous victory assures that President Trump will be held accountable to the Constitution & the American people — a historic triumph for legally mandated transparency." The case argues that the president has received foreign government favors, such as Chinese government trademarks for his companies, payments for hotel room stays and event-space rentals by representatives of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and proceeds from Chinese or Emirati-linked government purchases of office space in Trump Tower.
House Democrats told they’re too focused on impeachment By LISA MASCARO AP Congressional Correspondent
WASHINGTON — House Democrats convened privately Tuesday to discuss campaign issues and heard a sobering assessment: They’re seen as too focused on impeachment of President Donald Trump and voters are not hearing enough about their work on other issues. The findings came from private polling conducted for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has brushed past mounting calls for impeachment — more than 70 lawmakers now support opening an inquiry — and is trying to keep the majority focused on committee investigations of the Trump administration and the party’s own policy agenda.
In many ways, the presentation Tuesday reinforced Pelosi’s strategy. The session at House Democrats’ campaign headquarters was the party’s first since taking the House majority. As lawmakers prepare to head home to meet voters next week, it signals the start of Democrats’ efforts to retain control in 2020. Pelosi welcomed the results, according to a senior Democratic aide familiar with the session. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., the chair of the DCCC, told the lawmakers about the importance of driving home their work on health care and other issues, according to another person in the room. Both were granted anonymity to discuss the private session. But the findings also showed the challenge ahead for Democrats. Impeachment has taken center stage
in the House. Lawsuits, televised hearings and high-profile witness testimony often take attention from the legislative agenda. Democratic bills on gun control, ethics reforms and lowering health care costs are essentially dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate. Still, voters from dozens of battleground House districts — many won by Trump in 2016 — say they want lawmakers to reach across the aisle. According to the presentation Tuesday, voters put health care as their top priority, according to the aide in the room. That echoes the House Democrats’ campaign agenda that swept them to the majority in 2018, promising to lower health care costs, invest in infrastructure and impose ethics reforms. “People want their members to work across the aisle,” the presentation said.

Illinois to allow recreational marijuana By JOHN O’CONNOR AP Political Writer
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois’ new governor delivered on a top campaign promise Tuesday by signing legislation that makes the state the 11th to legalize small amounts of marijuana for recreational use and the second to approve it through the Legislature rather than the ballot box. Legalization in Illinois also means that nearly 800,000 people with criminal records for purchasing or possessing 30 grams of marijuana or less may have those records expunged, a provision minority lawmakers and interest groups demanded. It also gives cannabis-vendor preference to minority owners and promises 25% of tax revenue from marijuana sales to redevelop impoverished communities. Gov. J.B. Pritzker, whose election last year gave Democrats complete control over state government again after four years under GOP predecessor Bruce Rauner, signed the bill in Chicago amid a bevy of lawmakers and pot proponents. Under the measure, residents can purchase and possess up to 1 ounce (30 grams) of marijuana at a time. Non-residents could have up to 15 grams. The law provides for cannabis purchases by adults 21 and older at approved dispensaries, which, after they’re
licensed and established, may start selling Jan. 1, 2020. That means possession remains a crime until Jan. 1, a spokesman for Senate Democrats said. “In the past 50 years, the war on cannabis has destroyed families, filled prisons with nonviolent offenders, and disproportionately disrupted black and brown communities,” Pritzker said. “Each year, law enforcement across the nation has spent billions of dollars to enforce the criminalization of cannabis. … Yet its consumption remains widespread.” On the campaign trail, Pritzker claimed that, once established, taxation of marijuana could generate $800 million to $1 billion a year in taxes. He initially estimated that in the budget year that begins July 1, dispensary licensing would bring in $170 million. But the lawmakers who sponsored the plan, Sen. Heather Steans and Rep. Kelly Cassidy, both Chicago Democrats, have dampened that prediction, lowering estimates to $58 million in the first year and $500 million annually within five years. The marketplace portion of the Illinois law also addresses what critics have complained is the decadeslong war on drugs’ disproportionate impact on minority communities. Pritzker said that while blacks comprise 15% of Illinois’ population, they count for 60%

of cannabis-possession arrests. In addition to providing criminal-record scrubbing for past low-level offenders, the law gives preference to would-be marijuana vendors in areas of high poverty and records of large numbers of convictions. And portions of tax proceeds must be reinvested in impoverished communities. Police organizations are wary, concerned about enforcing driving under the influence laws and arguing technology for testing marijuana impairment needs more development. Law enforcement organizations were successful in killing an earlier provision that would have allowed anyone to grow up to five marijuana plants at home for personal use. Police said they’d have difficulty enforcing that, so the bill was amended to allow five plants to be main-
tained only by authorized patients under the state’s medical marijuana law. They previously could not grow their own. Ten other states and the District of Columbia have legalized smoking or eating marijuana for recreational use since 2012, when voters in Colorado and Washington state approved ballot initiatives. Vermont and Michigan last year were the latest states to legalize marijuana. Vermont did so through the Legislature, the first time it wasn’t done through a ballot initiative, but didn’t establish a statewide distribution rules as Illinois did. Other initiatives have failed. Promising proposals in New York and New Jersey fizzled late this spring. Despite a statewide listening tour on the issue by Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor last winter, the idea never took flight.
Senate president: Not enough votes for Oregon climate bill By SARAH ZIMMERMAN Associated Press
SALEM, Ore. — The president of the Oregon Senate said Tuesday there weren’t enough votes in his majority Democratic caucus to approve a landmark climate bill that has sparked a walkout by Republicans and left other key issues such as the state budget in limbo. The disclosure prompted young climate activists in the Senate chamber to turn their backs in protest against Sen. Peter Courtney. Meanwhile, all 11 Republican senators extended their walkout involving the issue for a sixth day, denying Democrats enough lawmakers to call a vote on the plan that calls for capping and trading pollution credits among companies. Courtney acknowledged that the proposal faces an uncertain fate — even among Democrats. He pleaded with Republicans to return to the Capitol to consider dozens of other issues caught up in the impasse. “This is about 145 bills that we must pass,” he said.

“We’re fighting for good public policy that will ensure that our children and our children’s children have a state and a nation and a planet they can live on,” Brown said. Sen. Michael Dembrow, a key backer of the cap and trade plan, refused to comment in Courtney’s announcement. Republicans are protesting what would be the nation’s second statewide cap and trade program after California. The measure is intended to dramatically reduce greenhouse gases in Oregon by 2050 by capping carbon emissions and requiring businesses to buy or trade for an ever-dwindling pool of pollution “allowances.” Conservatives say the proposal will kill jobs, raise the cost of fuel and gut small businesses in rural areas. Republicans’ walkout drew scrutiny after a weekend that began with the Senate leader ordering the Capitol closed because of a “possible militia threat” from far-right groups, who threatened to join a peaceful protest organized by local Republicans.

“I’ve done as much as I can and I’ll continue to try. But this is a remarkable opportunity to finish our work.” Senate Republicans didn’t immediately respond for a request to comment. Dozens of young climate activists were in the audience as part of a larger protest against the GOP walkout. They flooded out of the Senate chamber and onto the Capitol steps, chanting “Peter Courtney’s got to go” and “vote on climate.” Gov. Kate Brown has drawn a hard line on negotiations, saying she would only negotiate with Republicans if they return. Republicans have so far been working with Courtney behind the scenes for potential compromises, but no deal has been reached. Brown said she expected Democrats to remain strong and believes “folks are not interested in rewarding bad behavior.” She also said the cap and trade plan would make Oregon a leader in the fight against climate change and ultimately create jobs and transform the state economy.

One of those groups, the Oregon Three Percenters, joined an armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016 and has offered safe passage to senators on the run. The threat, however, never materialized and fewer than 100 people showed up to protest. Legislators have yet to approve a majority of the state budget and other Democratic priorities addressing affordable housing, paid family leave and driver’s licenses for immigrants in the country illegally. Courtney painstakingly described the work left to be done, saying it affects “every facet” of life in Oregon. “Please senators come to this floor to pass these policies and pass these budgets,” he said.
WASHINGTON — Melania Trump announced Tuesday that Stephanie Grisham, her longtime spokeswoman and confidante, will succeed Sarah Sanders as White House press secretary. Grisham has been with President Donald Trump since 2015, the year he launched his presidential campaign. She will also take on the role of White House communications director, a strategic and forward-looking role that has been vacant since March, and will accompany Trump on a trip to Japan and South Korea that starts Wednesday. The first lady announced the news on Twitter, saying she “can think of no better person to serve the Administration & our country.” “Excited to have Stephanie working for both sides of the White House,” Mrs. Trump said. Grisham worked directly for Trump after he took office in 2017. She was a deputy press secretary in the West Wing before she was tapped in March of that year to run communications for the first lady. She will continue to serve the first lady. Sanders’ last day at the White House is Friday.
Border official resigns amid uproar over migrant children HOUSTON — The acting head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection resigned Tuesday amid an uproar over the discovery of migrant children being held in filthy conditions at one of the agency’s stations in Texas. Commissioner John Sanders’ departure deepened the sense of crisis and added to the rapid turnover inside the agencies responsible for enforcing President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration priorities. The Trump administration is dealing with unprecedented numbers of migrant families coming across the border, a surge that has left detention centers severely overcrowded and taxed the government’s ability to provide medical care and other attention. The administration has faced a barrage of criticism in recent days over conditions inside the Border Patrol facility in Clint, Texas, first reported by The Associated Press: inadequate food, lack of medical care, and older children trying to care for toddlers. In a message to employees, Sanders said he would step down on July 5. He did not give a reason for leaving. “Although I will leave it to you to determine whether I was successful, I can unequivocally say that helping support the amazing men and women of CBP has been the most fulfilling and satisfying opportunity of my career,” he said. In an interview with AP last week, Sanders blamed the problems in detention on a lack of funding. He called on Congress to pass a $4.5 billion emergency funding bill to address the crisis — legislation the House was planning to take up Tuesday. Previously CBP’s chief operating officer, Sanders was named acting commissioner in April after the agency’s previous leader, Kevin McAleenan, became acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Other key DHS agencies also have interim or acting directors, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. ICE on Saturday delayed a long-planned operation to sweep U.S. cities and arrest hundreds of people accused of flouting orders to leave the country, days after Trump’s tweets about the operation alarmed immigrant families and advocates. Former ICE acting director Thomas Homan, a Trump administration ally, then went on television to accuse McAleenan of leaking information about the operation because he opposed it. — The Associated Press
Today in History Today is Wednesday, June 26, the 177th day of 2019. There are 188 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 26, 1963, President John F. Kennedy visited West Berlin, where he delivered his famous speech expressing solidarity with the city’s residents, declaring: “Ich bin ein Berliner” (I am a Berliner). On this date: In 1870, the first section of Atlantic City, New Jersey’s Boardwalk was opened to the public. In 1917, the first troops of the American Expeditionary Force deployed to France during World War I landed in St. Nazaire. In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for a second term of office by delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. In 1948, the Berlin Airlift began in earnest after the Soviet Union cut off land and water routes to the isolated western sector of Berlin. In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced his choice of Abe Fortas to succeed the retiring Earl Warren as chief justice of the United States (however, Fortas later withdrew in the face of stiff Senate opposition). In 1977, 42 people were killed when a fire sent toxic smoke pouring through the Maury County Jail in Columbia, Tennessee. Elvis Presley performed his last concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. In 1988, three people were killed when a new Airbus A320 jetliner carrying more than 130 people crashed into a forest during a demonstration at an air show in Mulhouse (muh-LOOZ’), France. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush went back on his “no-new-taxes” campaign pledge, conceding that tax increases would have to be included in any deficit-reduction package worked out with congressional negotiators. In 1993, President Bill Clinton announced the U.S. had launched missiles against Iraqi targets because of “compelling evidence” Iraq had plotted to assassinate former President George H.W. Bush. In 1997, the first Harry Potter novel, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling (ROHL’-ing), was published in the United Kingdom (it was later released in the United States under the title “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”). In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a handgun ban in the District of Columbia as it affirmed, 5-4, that an individual right to gun ownership existed. Juan Alvarez, who triggered a 2005 rail disaster in Glendale, California, by parking a sport-utility vehicle on the tracks, was convicted of 11 counts of first-degree murder. (Alvarez was later sentenced to 11 consecutive life terms.) In 2013, in deciding its first cases on the issue, the U.S. Supreme Court gave the nation’s legally married gay couples equal federal footing with all other married Americans and also cleared the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California. New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested in the shooting death of Odin Lloyd. (Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder; he killed himself in his prison cell in 2017.) Ten years ago: Los Angeles County medical examiners performed an autopsy on the remains of pop star Michael Jackson a day after his death at age 50. The Democratic-controlled House passed a global warming measure 219-212 following intense lobbying by President Barack Obama. A federal judge in New York ordered disgraced financier Bernard Madoff stripped of all his possessions under a $171 billion forfeiture order. Five years ago: The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Barack Obama had exceeded his executive authority in 2012 when he appointed members to the National Labor Relations Board without Senate confirmation. The nation’s highest court also unanimously struck down the 35-foot protest-free zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts, declaring it an unconstitutional restraint on the free-speech rights of protesters. Former Senate majority leader and White House chief of staff Howard Baker, 88, died at his Tennessee home. One year ago: A sharply divided Supreme Court upheld President Donald Trump’s ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries; dissenting Justice Sonia Sotomayor (SOHN’-ya soh-toh-my-YOR’) said the court was making a historic mistake by refusing to recognize that the ban discriminates against Muslims. Joe Crowley of New York, the fourth-ranking House Democrat, lost a primary to 28-year-old liberal activist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. General Electric Co. was removed from the Dow Jones industrial average, where it had been an original component in 1896; it was replaced by the Walgreens drugstore chain.

Iran says ‘idiotic’ new US sanctions shut doors of diplomacy By NASSER KARIMI and JON GAMBRELL Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran warned Tuesday that new U.S. sanctions targeting its supreme leader and other top officials meant “closing the doors of diplomacy” between Tehran and Washington amid heightened tensions, even as President Hassan Rouhani derided the White House as being “afflicted by mental retardation.” President Donald Trump called that a “very ignorant and insulting statement,” tweeting that an Iranian attack on any U.S. interest will be met with “great and overwhelming force … overwhelming will mean obliteration.” His secretary of state said the Iranian statement was “immature.” The sharp remarks from Tehran shows the pressure that the nation’s Shiite theocracy and its 80 million people feel over the maximalist campaign of sanctions by the Trump administration. From Israel, U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton said Iran could walk through an “open door” to talks with America but also warned that “all options remain on the table” if Tehran makes good on its promise to begin breaking one limit from its 2015

nuclear deal with world powers. The verbal volleys recalled North Korea’s statements about Trump before the dramatic change in course and the start of negotiations with Washington. In 2017, state media quoted North Korean leader Kim Jong Un calling Trump “the mentally deranged U.S. dotard.” However, there are no signs the Iranian leadership would welcome talks. “The useless sanctioning of Islamic Revolution Supreme Leader (Khamenei) and the commander of Iranian diplomacy means closing the doors of diplomacy by the U.S.’ desperate administration,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi tweeted.
“Trump’s government is annihilating all the established international mechanisms for keeping peace and security in the world.” Trump enacted the new sanctions against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his associates on Monday. U.S. officials also said they plan sanctions against Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, something that drew Rouhani’s anger during his televised address Tuesday. “You sanction the foreign minister simultaneously with a request for talks,” an exasperated Rouhani said. He called the sanctions against Khamenei “outrageous and idiotic,” especially since the 80-year-old Shiite cleric has no plans to
travel to the United States. “The White House is afflicted by mental retardation and does not know what to do,” he added in Farsi, using a term similarly as offensive in English. While U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he hadn’t heard Rouhani’s reaction to the new sanctions, he said that if true, “that’s a bit immature and childlike.” “But know that the United States will remain steadfast in undertaking the actions that the president laid out in this strategy to create stability throughout the Middle East, which includes the campaign we have, the economic campaign, the pressure campaign that we have on the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Pompeo added. The crisis gripping the Middle East stems from Trump’s withdrawal of the U.S. a year ago from the nuclear deal with Iran and other world powers and then imposing crippling new sanctions on Tehran. Recently, Iran quadrupled its production of low-enriched uranium to be on pace to break one of the deal’s terms by Thursday, while also threatening to raise enrichment closer to weapons-grade levels on July 7 if European countries still abiding by the accord don’t offer a new deal.
Hong Kong protests signal alarm special freedoms fading By ELAINE KURTENBACH AP Business Writer
HONG KONG — China promised that for 50 years after Britain gave up control of its last colony, this shimmering financial enclave would get to keep freedoms absent in the communist-ruled mainland. Twenty-two years on, those are rights many here believe Hong Kong cannot live without. The hundreds of thousands who marched in a June 16 protest over a nowshelved extradition bill, and those still demonstrating, are signaling alarm that Hong Kong may become just another Chinese city as those protections unravel and Beijing’s influence expands in the territory. Activists are planning more protests for Wednesday, hoping to win attention and support from world leaders gathering in Osaka, Japan, for the Group of 20 summit later this week. “This is not about a power struggle,” said Bonnie Leung, a leader of the Civil Human Rights Front, one of a number of groups involved in organizing recent protests over the legislation. “This is about the values that make the world a better place.” “The whole world, whoever has connections with
Hong Kong, would be stakeholders,” she said. All of those involved — the territory’s top official, Chief Executive Carrie Lam, the police, lawmakers, the protesters and the rest of Hong Kong — are caught up in tensions stemming from the “one country, two systems” colonial legacy that bequeathed a Westernstyle civic society under a political system controlled by Beijing. The protests erupted after Beijing-backed Lam tried to push through legislation that would have allowed some criminal suspects to be sent to face trial in Communist Party-dominated courts in mainland China. Many in Hong Kong viewed the bill as another step toward curbing protections they expect from their legal system. While they come from all walks of life, the protesters share a determination to preserve those freedoms, said Samson Yuen, a professor at Hong Kong’s Lingnan University. “This protest has drawn everybody in town together,” he said. “They really value the freedom to speak up and protest.” Jerome A. Cohen, a leading expert on Chinese law and government, said the extradition bill would have deprived local authorities

of the right to prevent forcible transfers by China of suspects, including visitors, “for detention, trial and punishment that violate international standards of justice.” The bill also would have enabled China to require Hong Kong authorities to freeze and confiscate assets of alleged suspects, Cohen wrote in a recent blog post. Efforts to limit the cases subject to extradition would not prevent suspects from being subject to China’s “incommunicado torture chambers, its denial of competent legal defenders and its unfair trials.” Most Hong Kong residents belong to families that fled poverty and political upheavals in the communist
mainland. British rule did not bequeath them democracy, but it laid the foundations for strong civic institutions, schools, health care — as well as a laissez faire trading regime dominated by business leaders deeply invested in keeping Hong Kong as it is. Normally reluctant to wade into political matters or criticize Beijing, businesses also expressed concern over the extradition bill, with the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce noting that the protests reflected “serious apprehensions.” The chamber welcomed the government’s decision to suspend the bill, as did its American and British counterparts.

Around the World Turkey’s leader vows to heed ‘messages’ of Istanbul election ANKARA, Turkey — In his first public appearance since a crushing defeat in a rerun election for mayor of Istanbul, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday vowed to draw lessons and make adjustments in line with “the messages given by the people.” Addressing legislators from his ruling party in Parliament, Erdogan again congratulated opposition candidate Ekrem Imamoglu who garnered 54.21% of the vote in Istanbul on Sunday to become Istanbul’s mayor. Erdogan had previously congratulated Imamoglu in a tweet. Sunday’s results came as a rare electoral defeat for Erdogan and broke the Islamic-leaning ruling party’s decades-old grip on Turkey’s most important city. It was also a personal blow to Erdogan whose rise in Turkish politics had started with his own election as Istanbul mayor 25 years ago. “In line with our political understanding, we cannot be angry or hold a grudge or blame the people,” Erdogan told his party’s legislators. “We don’t have the luxury of turning a deaf ear and ignoring the messages given by the people,” He said his ruling party, which is scheduled to meet later Tuesday, would determine its “failings, disunity and errors” and look for ways to fix them. In a related development, Erdogan in his speech marked the anniversary of last year’s electoral win that also ushered in a new political system by abolishing the office of the prime minister and vastly expanded the powers of the president. Critics say the system has eroded democracy and paved the way to one-man rule. Erdogan said the people and country had “accepted” and “adjusted” to the new system but stated that a committee lead by Vice President Fuat Oktay, would nevertheless be formed to assess possible shortcomings. Hours later, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who leads the main opposition party that backed Imamoglu, called for the new presidential system to be scrapped. “Let’s lift this one-man regime and build a democratic system,” Kilicdaroglu said in a speech in Parliament.
Moroccan women press to legalize abortion amid pending bill PARIS — It was a small demonstration on a big topic for some Moroccan women trying to make some abortions legal. Two dozen activists gathered in front of the Muslim kingdom’s parliament on Tuesday to press lawmakers to legalize abortion in extreme cases. A row of naked dolls on the ground symbolized the fate of children born from unintended pregnancies. One sign read: “My mother is 15 years old. My father is a rapist.” Morocco has had a law in the making since 2016 that would decriminalize abortions in cases of rape or incest. Lawmaker Leila Amili said the legislation has “too many points of conflict” for quick passage. Moroccan women sometimes have illegal abortions done by healers. A survey by Morocco’s Family Planning Association said 50,000 to 80,000 clandestine abortions are performed annually. — The Associated Press

About homestead living Gail and Gary living on Homestead at Boulder Point, 1985-1992 My daughter Gail and her husband Gary lived on a homestead at Boulder Point, the land that juts out north of Arness Dock, Nikiski. They lived there seven years. Some of those years, Gary worked on a seismograph crew on the North Slope. Gail has lots of stories about homesteading that I will not be able to put in this article. Both are hardy and have endured very cold, brutal temperatures. They hunted moose, were stalked by bears and had a nice corral with a horse, goat and pigs. Chickens were one of Gail’s great accomplishments. They were very big, and when it came to butchering in fall they looked like small turkeys. They made the best roast and chicken noodle soups. Bob still talks about how good those chickens were. She had a big wonderful garden full of broccoli, kohlrabi and all the things that grow in rich, well taken care of soil. She also raised mushrooms for a while. When breakup came in spring and the road turned to Jell-O, they walked into the homestead in the mud. They plowed themselves in and out most of the snowy winters. They drained mud puddles and hauled gravel. Gail walked in and out in the middle of the winters with a backpack when Gary was gone. Sometimes she took shortcuts across the lake. One time coming back home with a loaded backpack of goodies, something hit her from behind and knocked her face first to the snow. A big white owl had swooped down and tried to carry her away in his talons. Her backpack was so heavy it pinned her down and she had to wiggle out of the backpack and roll over to see what hit her.

To kick up your chicken salad, turn to your spice rack
This undated photo shows Turmeric Chicken Salad Sandwiches in Brookline, Mass. (Daniel J. van Ackere/America’s Test Kitchen via AP) By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN The Associated Press
To apply some modern tricks to old-school chicken salad, we turned to our spice rack. Most spices boast an impressive portfolio of phytonutrients—often the very same compounds that give them such potent flavour. Mild, creamy chicken salad was an ideal canvas. First, we found we could replace two-thirds of the mayonnaise with low-fat yogurt (and use less dressing overall) and still deliver enough creamy tang to keep everyone happy. To spice up our dressing, we added turmeric and black pepper. Long used as a medicinal spice in India, turmeric is associated with many health benefits. Black pepper—commonly paired
with turmeric—may boost the potency of turmeric, especially in the presence of a little heart-healthy fat. With our dressing ready, we poached chicken breasts to perfection by heating them just until the water reached 170 F, then removing the pot from the heat and letting the chicken cook through slowly and gently. For add-ins, we opted for dried cherries and toasted walnuts to provide crunch. Instead of a whisper of herbs, we stirred in 1/3 cup of parsley leaves (herbs, like spices, contain concentrated nutrients), which added a pop of green colour and an herbal back note. Two cups of tender baby spinach provided a fresh finish to our updated chicken salad sandwiches.
TUMERIC CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES Servings: 6 Start to finish: 1 hour Salt and pepper 2 (4- to 6-ounce) organic boneless, skinless chicken breasts, no more than 1 inch thick, trimmed of all visible fat 1 teaspoon cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric Pinch ground cinnamon 1/4 cup organic plain low-fat yogurt 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 garlic clove, minced 1/3 cup walnuts, toast-
ed and chopped coarse 1/3 cup fresh parsley leaves 1/4 cup unsweetened dried tart cherries 1 shallot, minced 12 slices hearty 100% whole-grain sandwich bread 2 ounces (2 cups) baby spinach Dissolve 1 tablespoon salt in 6 cups cold water in Dutch oven. Submerge chicken in water. Heat pot over medium heat until water registers 170 F. Turn off heat, cover pot, and let stand until chicken registers 165 F, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer chicken to paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes. Combine oil, turmeric, and cinnamon together in bowl and microwave until fragrant, about 30 seconds
let cool slightly. In large bowl, whisk oil mixture, yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together until smooth. Pat cooled chicken dry with paper towels and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Add chicken, walnuts, parsley, cherries, and shallot to bowl with yogurt mixture, toss to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide chicken salad evenly over 6 bread slices, then top with spinach. Top with remaining 6 bread slices.

For a zippy cauliflower salad, why not go to Morocco?
This undated photo shows Cauliflower Salad with Chermoula and Carrots in Brookline, Mass. (Daniel J. van Ackere/America’s Test Kitchen via AP) By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN The Associated Press
Chermoula is a traditional Moroccan marinade made with hefty amounts of cilantro, lemon and gar-
lic that packs a big flavour punch. While this dressing is traditionally used as a marinade for meat and fish, we decided to make it the flavour base for a zippy cauliflower salad in an ef-
fort to dress up a vegetable that can be bland and boring. We focused first on the cooking method of the starring vegetable. Roasting was the best choice to add
deep flavour to the cauliflower and balance the bright chermoula. To keep the cauliflower from overbrowning before the interior was cooked, we started it covered and let it steam until barely tender. Then we removed the foil, added sliced onion, and returned the pan to the oven to let both the onion and the cauliflower caramelize. Adding the onion to the pan once the cauliflower was uncovered ensured that they would finish cooking at the same time. Finally, to highlight the natural sweetness of the cooked vegetables, we added shredded carrot and raisins, two traditional North African ingredients. Use the large holes of a box grater to shred the carrot.
CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH CHERMOULA AND CARROTS Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 35 minutes
Salad: 1 head cauliflower (2 pounds), cored and cut into 2-inch florets 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt and pepper 1/2 red onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick 1 cup shredded carrot 1/2 cup raisins 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 2 tablespoons sliced toasted almonds Chermoula: 3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice 4 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper For the salad: Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 475 F. Toss cauliflower with oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Spread on parchment paperlined rimmed baking sheet, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and roast until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove foil and scatter onion on sheet. Roast until vegetables are tender, cauliflower is deep golden, and onion slices are charred at edges, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through roasting. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. For the chermoula: Process all ingredients in food processor until smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down sides of bowl as needed transfer to large bowl. Add cauliflower-onion mixture, carrot, and raisins and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with cilantro and almonds, and serve warm or at room temperature. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 221 calories 136 calories from fat 15 g fat (2 g saturated 0 g trans fats) 0 mg cholesterol 332 mg sodium 19 g carbohydrate 4 g fiber 13 g sugar 3 g protein.

. . . Annie
She was wearing a big sheepskin cap and it had a big rip in it. Continued from page A7 Another time taking the shortcut across the lake to get home, she had snowshoes on and was carrying a long pole “just in caseâ€? she fell through a hole in the ice. That long pole saved her life. Her snowshoes broke through and she went up to her waist in the frigid water. By using the pole she finally got out. She says that she was never cold, but her Carhartt she was wearing froze and by the time she got home she was taking tiny steps. One time an out-of-state visitor who was being taken back to “civilizationâ€? saw a moose and jumped out of the pickup with his camera to take a picture of the local Momma Moose. She was known to charge anything to protect her territory. Stupidity saved his life. Momma, her hair standing up on her neck and her ears pinned back, was ready to charge. Unaware of the warning “be careful of the mad-moose stance,â€? the visitor clicked away and got back in the pickup, totally unaware he was about to get stomped to death. The ongoing Swan Lake Fire brings to mind the Swanson River Fire that me and my then-six kids, Betty Coulter and her two kids were in. The year was 1969, but it might as well have been yesterday — I remember every vivid detail. Probably the most terrifying situation I was ever in. Especially, at the time, when I was in charge of six kids! Betty was not any better because she went in to high-overdrive nuts! The CB — our only mode of communication in those days — squawked on and we heard Gene’s excited voice telling us to load my car with valuables, such as guns and old coins. Gene said we had to get out of there and go to the beach (the upper end of Nikiski Beach) — “there is a fire coming your way.â€? Betty heard “fireâ€? and in all her excitement ran in the house and grabbed the toilet paper, ran out the door and flung it into my old turquoise-and-black, ’50s-something, four-door Dodge. The toilet paper zinged off every corner in the car and came to rest in the driver’s seat. In goes Betty and out comes Betty with a big black roaster pan she had in the oven, full of moose roast, carrots and potatoes. She was a little more careful about placing that in the car. She turned around at me — I was lining up the kids — and shouted, “WHAT ELSE!?â€? I shouted back, “Do you have any money, old coins and silverware ‌ â€? Before I finished my sentence she ran back in the house and grabbed the silverware drawer, ran out and gave the whole drawer a fling. Clatter bang, the silverware was now scattered all over the car. I finished my sentence, “ ‌ and guns?â€? We went running back into the house. Betty, acting like the house was already on fire, handed me some guns from the corner of the bedroom. As we ran by the bathroom, I grabbed some towels I shouted, “wrap the guns in towels.â€? “OK! OK!â€? she shouted. She wrapped them gently. I personally laid the guns in the car. I did not know if they were loaded or not, but knowing Gene I was sure they were, and I did not want Betty to fling the guns in the car with bullets flying everywhere!! I hollered at the kids to get in the car and told Paul to get in the Jeep with me. He was a sweet boy with a handicap and riding in the Jeep was the highlight of his day. We ran back, got some coats and off down the trail to the beach we went. The house was saved by the airplanes dropping pink retardant on it. In the process, our new blue Ford pickup got pink all over it too. It finally came off, but we scrubbed on it for a while!! When I hear of forest fires in Alaska, I still feel the fear I had that day. The Swan Lake Fire that they have been battling for a long time is still not out and is 5 miles, as of Tuesday, from Soldotna. As I understand it, no buildings or injuries have been reported. Alaska is vast. Alaska has beetle-kill trees in many regions. Many fires are remote and started by lightning and eventually burn themselves out. Not so, this Swan Lake Fire. I pray the fire will be out soon and all those wonderful firefighters can go home. My thanks to the brave forest firefighters and the sacrifice they give up of a home, beds and family. Some firefighters have been flown in from the Lower 48. We could not do without these brave workers. Thank you again!

GOCK WITH BACUS (broccoli with cheese sauce) Gail had a huge garden on the homestead and one of the most delicious was broccoli. Arleigh could not say broccoli and pronounced it “More-gock-please! Steam broccoli to your desired tenderness. While broccoli is steaming, make the “bacus� — a word that Bob taught his kids and all my kids and grandkids, meaning anything that was a sauce, gravy, cheese sauce, ketchup, anything that was to cover up something else. In a small pan melt: 2 tablespoons butter While stirring with a fork add: 2 tablespoons flour Stir until blended and gradually add: 1 cup milk and salt and pepper Stir until thick and starts to bubble. Reduce heat and blend in one 4-ounce package cream cheese and pinch of cayenne. At this point you can stir in 1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheese or just pour the cream cheese sauce over drained steamed broccoli and bake 20 minutes until nicely browned. NOTE: baking is not necessary, just sprinkle cheese on top and serve. Grandson Joey tells me that Bacchus was the Greek God of Wine and Celebration. We leave the wine out and celebrate by eating every last piece of gock with bacus. And that is end of the Gock and Bacus story.
GAIL’S MOOSEMEAT MEAT LOAF This makes a bunch. Her own crew at one time was four hungry boys. She also cooked for a bunch of people for several years on a fishing site. She is a very fine cook and invention sometimes has to take over in Alaska. Here is her delicious version of meat loaf. Ground moosemeat by volume. You should have 2/3 parts moosemeat to 1 pound of Jimmy Dean sausage or a good breakfast sausage. 3 medium Alaska potatoes, grated and the moisture squeezed out. (She grated potatoes on paper plate, rolled
it up and squeezed out the moisture. Or, you can put a baggie on your hand and squeeze out the moisture). 1 large onion, grated or a “dump of dry onion� — probably a handful! 3 or 4 stalks of celery, sliced fine. In a pinch, grated parsnips will do 1 green pepper, diced fine — if you have it 3 eggs A sprinkle of Montreal Steak Seasoning, or garlic salt, pepper and cayenne If you care to use dehydrated vegetables, rehydrate them in a little hot water first. METHOD: Put baggies on hands and knead the meat and rest of ingredients with hands until they are well mixed. In a large lasagna pan, shape three loaves. Put pan on hot woodstove on top of four canning jar lids, to keep off direct heat. Put another lasagna pan over top to form an oven. (Shaping in loaves cooks the meat in the middle). Make sure fire is hot, at least 350 degrees, by holding your hand over the stove — if you cannot holed it there very long, it’s hot enough!* *The easier way put into a 350 degree oven for one hour. *If the moose meat loaf is too juicy, throw in a handful of long grain rice around the outside edge of pan while cooking. You can brown the top under a broiler afterward, but it’s not necessary. Serve with Gock and Bacus and garlic bread to hungry kids and adults and have a plate for yourself. Sit outside on a rock or stump and watch the Cook Inlet waves come in and go out in the late afternoon, while the sun bounces off the top of the mountain ranges.
GAIL’S BAKED VEGETABLES Gail grew the best kohlrabi, parsnips and broccoli and lots of other things in her homestead garden. Dice assorted vegetables into a buttered loaf pan. Dot with butter and a tablespoon of water and cover with foil. Place directly on the surface of the wood stove, or put into you modern oven for about one hour at 350 degrees.
Snack attack: Try crumbly, cheesy, buttery spiced crackers
This undated photo shows Southern Cheese Straws in Brookline, Mass. (Joe Keller/ America’s Test Kitchen via AP) By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN The Associated Press
These delicate, crumbly, cheesy, buttery spiced crackers are popular in the South but should be required snacking everywhere. And while they’re mostly about the cheese, the crackers would have one-note richness without the added pizazz of some back-up spices: sweet, peppery paprika and cayenne. These give the cracker interest, back up the extra-sharp cheddar’s bold flavour, and add pleasant heat. To make a version that mimicked cheese straws’ signature decorative stripes without using a cookie press, we rolled out the dough into a square and made lines with the tines of a fork before cutting the dough into strips and baking. Using a food processor to buzz the grated cheese, chilled butter, flour, and baking powder together resulted in crackers with a short, extra-tender texture. A variation pairs nutty Parmesan and black pepper for a slightly more refined straw with the perfect salt and pepper balance.
SOUTHERN CHEESE STRAWS Servings: 48 Start to finish: 1 hour, 5 minutes 8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups) 1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces and chilled 3/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 tablespoons ice water Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Process cheddar, flour, butter, salt, paprika, baking powder, and cayenne in food processor until mixture resembles wet sand, about 20 seconds. Add ice water and process until dough ball
starts to form, about 25 seconds. Transfer dough to lightly floured counter and knead by hand to form smooth, round ball, about 30 seconds. Using your hands, pat dough into rough 4 inch square. Roll dough into 10 inch square, about 1/4 inch thick, flouring counter and dough as needed to prevent sticking. Position dough so one side is parallel to counter edge. Using rounded side of fork, drag tines across entire surface of dough to make decorative lines. Using pizza cutter or chef’s knife, trim away and discard outer 1/2 inch of dough to make neat square. Cut dough into 3 equal pieces perpendicular to lines. Working with 1 section of dough at a time, cut into 1/2 inch-wide strips in direction of lines. Evenly space cheese straws on prepared sheet, about 1/2 inch apart. Bake until edges of straws are light golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Let straws cool completely on sheet. Serve. (Straws can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week.) Variation — Parmesan-black pepper cheese straws: Reduce extra-sharp cheddar to 6 ounces (1 1/2 cups). Add 1 cup grated Parmesan to food processor with flour. Substitute 1 teaspoon pepper for cayenne. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 52 calories 33 calories from fat 4 g fat (2 g saturated 0 g trans fats) 10 mg cholesterol 73 mg sodium 3 g carbohydrate 0 g fiber 0 g sugar 1 g protein.

Seward cyclist claims win at Kenai 250 DiMarzio sets course record time in 265-mile race covering most major bike trails on peninsula By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
Seward’s Chaz DiMarzio is done with the Kenai 250. Really. He means it this time. DiMarzio won the backcountry endurance ride held on pretty much all the major mountain bike trails the Kenai Peninsula has to offer Saturday afternoon with a course-record time of 1 day, 3 hours and 24 minutes. The 39-year-old added that crown to titles in 2014 and 2017, as well as failed attempts to complete the test in 2013, 2015 and 2016.
The only time DiMarzio did not attempt the event, which began in 2013, was 2018. After his triumph in 2017, which set a course record at 1:06:15, DiMarzio said he probably told a few people he was done with the race. “I felt absolutely terrible the week after in 2017,” DiMarzio said. But the fact that he left time out on the course nagged at him. DiMarzio had lied down three times for 15 minutes each. So he came back for more this year, starting at 9 a.m. Friday.
It takes some time to explain the course for the Kenai 250, which actually measures about 265 miles and has about 30,000 feet of elevation gain and loss. But if it takes time to list the course, just imagine riding it. The ride starts in Hope and takes the Resurrection Pass trail to the Sterling Highway, briefly jogging over on the Sterling Highway to the Russian Lakes trail. Russian Lakes is taken to Snug Harbor Road, then the Old Sterling Highway takes riders to the Seward Highway. The event then carries com-
petitors all the way to the Alaska Sealife Center via the Seward Highway and Lost Lake trail. As a side note, this is why DiMarzio scratched three years — it was raining and he found it too easy to just pull over at his house. From Seward, it’s north on the Iditarod National Historic Trail, looping past Bear Lake and powering past Grayling and Meridian lakes to Primrose. The Seward Highway continues to take riders north until a just-because loop to Vagt Lake, then it’s more Seward Highway until getting on the Johnson Pass Trail.
Once finished with Johnson Pass, the Seward takes riders to the Devil’s Creek trail, to the Resurrection Pass trail, and back to Hope. Due to the length, DiMarzio said the event is more of a competitive group ride than a race, with 23 riders spread out over hundreds of miles of trail. There is no entry fee and very little organization or fanfare, with the biggest rule being the ride must be totally selfsupported. Why would someone want to do all that? See KENAI, page A10
Oilers wrap up tough road trip Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The Peninsula Oilers wrapped up a tough road trip Tuesday night at Mulcahy Stadium with a 12-2 loss to the league-leading Anchorage Bucs in Alaska Baseball League play. In the last game of a eight-game road trip, the Oilers were outhit 13-7 overall after scoring the first two runs of the game in the first inning. The Oilers finished 2-6 on the road and dropped to 1-2 against the Bucs in 2019. With the loss, the Oilers (7-12) dropped 6.5 games behind the Bucs (13-5) in the ABL standings. Ryan Sullivan six RBI’s, hitting 4 for 4 with two runs. Bucs teammate Kaden Hopson went 3 for 4 with two RBI’s. Overall, the Bucs outhit the Oilers 13-7. Camden Vasquez went 2 for 3 with two walks and a run, while Jaden Fein, Giancarlo Servin, Travis Bohall, Jonathan Villa and Steven Ordorica notched a hit each. Bucs starter Brody Jessee held the Oilers to two runs over five innings, giving up three hits and six walks with three strikeouts. The Oilers’ Connor McCord gave up six runs
over four frames of work, scattering six hits and three walks while whiffing three. Steven Ordorica, Calvin Farris and Bryan Woo finished the game in relief. Ordorica gave up a run in the fifth inning on two hits, Farris gave up five runs (two earned) in two innings on five hits and four walks while whiffing two, and Woo struck out the side in one frame of relief. Fein lined a two-run, two-out single to centerfield in the first inning to give the Oilers a 2-0 lead, but the Bucs scored 12 unanswered to stymie Peninsula the rest of the way. Anchorage took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the first, starting with a tying two-run double by Sullivan. Hopson followed it up with an RBI single to give the Bucs a lead. Sullivan knockout out another two-run hit in the bottom of the third with a single, pushing the lead to 5-2, and the hits kept coming. Hopson added another RBI single in the inning. The Bucs scored four times in the bottom of the sixth. The Oilers return home Thursday for a 7 p.m. game against the Anchorage Glacier Pilots.
Vandy forces CWS game 3 By ERIC OLSON AP Sports Writer
OMAHA, Neb. — Vanderbilt’s go-to guy throughout the postseason once again delivered a dominant performance. Freshman Kumar Rocker struck out 11 while pitching 6 1/3 innings of three-hit ball, and Vanderbilt got to Michigan’s shaky bullpen in a 4-1 win in Game 2 of the College World Series finals Tuesday night. The Commodores (5812), who set the Southeastern Conference singleseason wins record, forced a winner-take-all Game 3
on Wednesday night at TD Ameritrade Park. “We had the right guy on the mound,” Vandy coach Tim Corbin said. “I haven’t been around him that long, but I know the fibers of the kid. I know how he’s directed. I know how he thinks. I know how he attacks.” Rocker (12-5), who pitched a no-hitter against Duke in the super regionals the last time the Commodores faced elimination, set the tone in another in a line of strong performances. Ten of the 6-foot-4, 255-pound Rocker’s first 11 pitches were strikes.

Yankees slug way to record Bronx bombers reach 28 straight games with team HR NEW YORK (AP) — DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge hit back-toback homers to begin the bottom of the first inning, giving the Yankees a major league-record 28 straight games with a long ball, and New York held off the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 Tuesday night. Gleyber Torres and Edwin Encarnación each poked a solo shot over the short right field porch for the Yankees, who shook off another injury to Giancarlo Stanton and won for the 10th time in 11 games. The AL East leaders are 8-1 on a 10-game homestand that wraps up Wednesday. Aroldis Chapman allowed a run in the ninth before retiring Freddy Galvis on an easy grounder with two aboard for his 23rd save in 25 tries. Stanton exited in the fourth with a bruised right knee and was scheduled for an MRI. He got tangled up with Toronto pitcher Clayton Richard (0-4) in the first while getting thrown out on a headfirst slide into third base. RED SOX 6, WHITE SOX 3 BOSTON (AP) — Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run homer and David Price struck out nine, leading the Red Sox to the victory. The start of the game was delayed 24 minutes because of rain, which
continued to fall — heavily at times — through the first five innings. The slick conditions may have contributed to a frightening moment in the fifth inning when Chicago shortstop Tim Anderson sprained his right ankle on a fielding play. Anderson was carried off the field on the shoulders of manager Rick Renteria and a trainer.
PHILLIES 7, METS 5 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Maikel Franco hit a go-ahead two-run homer for the second straight game, powering the Phillies to the victory. Brad Miller, Scott Kingery and Rhys Hoskins also connected as Philadelphia earned its second straight win since losing seven in a row. Franco hit a shot to right off Wilmer Font (1-2) for his 18th homer, lifting the Phillies to a 6-5 lead in the sixth inning. Miller made it back-to-back shots when he went deep for a pinch-hit homer. Philadelphia right-hander Jake Arrieta (7-6) permitted five runs and nine hits in six innings. Héctor Neris got four outs for his 16th save.
NATIONALS 6, MARLINS 1 MIAMI (AP) — Max Scherzer struck out 10 in eight innings and won his fifth straight start to lead Washington. The three-time Cy Young Award winner also had two hits and scored twice. Scherzer (7-5) is 5-0 with a 0.92 ERA over his last seven starts and
has fanned exactly 10 in three straight games. He allowed five hits and one run while throwing 71 of 94 pitches for strikes. Trea Turner hit a three-run homer and Juan Soto knocked in two runs for the Nationals, who have won six of eight.
PADRES 8, ORIOLES 3 BALTIMORE (AP) — Manny Machado marked his return to Camden Yards with a performance reminiscent of his time with the Orioles, hitting a long homer and driving in two runs to lead San Diego. Machado played seven years with the Orioles before being traded last July, months before becoming a free agent. The third baseman signed a 10-year, $300 million contract with the Padres in February. Machado received a standing ovation from many in the crowd of 21,644 before striking out in the first inning. In the third, however, he hit a shot off Jimmy Yacabonis (1-2) that traveled an estimated 455 feet and added a run-scoring single in the fourth.
DODGERS 3, DIAMONDBACKS 2 PHOENIX (AP) — Enrique Hernandez hit his sixth career leadoff home run and Justin Turner added a solo shot to power Los Angeles. Hernandez hit a 0-2 pitch out to left off Robbie Ray (5-5) to open the game See MLB, page A10
Dutch women oust Japan with late penalty kick goal By ROB HARRIS AP Global Soccer Writer
RENNES, France (AP) — Tears were still flowing from Saki Kumagai’s eyes more than 30 minutes later. With victorious Dutch rivals passing her on the way out of the stadium, Japan’s captain seemed to find solace in speaking about the penalty long after it cost her team a place in the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup. With Tuesday night’s game entering the 90th minute locked at 1-1, Kumagai’s outstretched left
arm blocked the shot Vivianne Miedema had aimed into the right side of the net. “It had my hand for sure,” Kumagai said. “It’s difficult to accept but it’s also sad. I know that is football.” Referee Melissa Borjas pointed to the penalty spot and Lieke Martens netted her second goal of the game in the 90th minute to seal a 2-1 victory that sent the Netherlands into the quarterfinals for the first time. “We have made history,” Martens said. “I’m not usually taking the penalties but I felt really good
this game. I asked Sherida Spitse if I could take it and she gave it directly to me and I felt quite relaxed about it.” The reigning European champions will need to maintain that composure as they prepare for a meeting with Italy on Saturday after going one stage further than their Women’s World Cup debut four years ago. “We were standing in the circle after the match and we were so happy, yelling at each other,” Netherlands coach Sarina Wiegman said. “We were saying, ‘Let’s continue writing history.’”
It is journey’s end for Japan, that goes beyond the final result. which won the 2011 tournament “They have a mission.

“In the fog of just having done it, I’d say it’s the trails I ride every day all summer long and has been for close to 20 years,” DiMarzio said. “It’s cool to do it all at once. “At this point, I wanted to keep doing it until I got the perfect run, and this was the perfect run.” Like spokes on a wheel, nearly innumerable things must come together for that perfect ride. Trail and weather conditions must be good. As noted before, DiMarzio tapped out three times in the rain, and this is a guy that lives in a rainforest. As for the trails, a tight window must be hit. Lost Lake trail is just losing its snow cover, while Russian Lakes is already getting unpleasant due to brush encroaching on the trail. An indication of how good the trails were came from the fact that the women’s record also was broken — 1:12:32 by Anchorage’s Corrie Smith. Then there is luck. Random mechanical failures cannot happen. Riding for that long puts incredible stress on a bike. For instance, DiMarzio said the recommendation is his front suspension fork gets serviced after 25 hours of riding, which would have been two hours before he finished. “We are a moving freak show,” DiMarzio said. “It’s weird. We’ll
tell people we’ve been riding for 20 hours and they’ll say, ‘What are you doing, man?’” Riders also must be lucky enough not to hit anything — animate or inanimate — while riding overnight. DiMarzio’s only fall was a low-speed tip into devil’s club near Bear Lake. He said the falls tend to not be bad because riders are never going full-speed during the lengthy race. As for bears and moose? “You just hope for the best,” he said. “There’s nothing you can do but just make noise. I wear a bear bell and hoot and holler.” The final variable is the rider. At 39 years old, DiMarzio said he is at his peak for endurance events like the Kenai 250. The events are more of a test of mental toughness and knowledge than physical fitness. DiMarzio said he was active every day leading up to the race, but his longest ride was seven hours. “Your body can train for I think about 10 to 12 hours of something like this,” he said. “After that, every time I do something like this, something happens between four and six hours and I push through that. Then again at 20 hours. Push through that and you’re good.” There’s also the trick of knowing how to fuel your body. “Your body can only burn through 200 calories an hour,” DiMarzio said. “All you have to do is take in 200 calories an hour.” He starts with what he calls robot food — Clif Bars, gels
and electolyte powders. After his body starts revolting, usually in about 8 to 10 hours, he moves on to candy bars, Gummy Worms and in this particular case fried bean burritos. Race pacing also is important, down to knowing exactly how to breathe. Aaron Thrasher and Dusty Eroh, both of Anchorage, would eventually finish second and third, respectively, 39 minutes behind DiMarzio. The Anchorage duo took the lead from the start, riding, as DiMarzio said, like it was a 100-mile race. “I was like, ‘What are they doing? Have fun,’” DiMarzio said. “I went out at a leisurely pace. If I was breathing out of my mouth, I was going too hard.” The nose knows. DiMarzio had to chase the duo for 15 hours, finally catching them before Primrose and leaving them behind on the Johnson Pass trail. In the middle of the night, the three stopped and sat on some moss for like three minutes — DiMarzio’s only break of the ride. His final trick was using peer pressure. “I intentionally told a bunch of people I was doing this event,” DiMarzio said. “That’s what keeps me going, knowing people are watching. Otherwise it’s so easy to stop and quit.” Racers are tracked throughout the event and can be followed on the internet. DiMarzio told everybody at work about this, and workmates Derek and Kathy Woodie even showed up to cheer
him on in Seward. Tasha DiMarzio, Chaz’s wife, was even getting updates on her husband’s progress via satellite device just outside Shishmaref, where she was in the field for her job. The final bit of pressure came from Thrasher and Eroh. “Erin and Dusty are two of the toughest SOBs,” DiMarzio said. “Mentally and physically, they never give up. I knew I had to keep moving no matter what or they would catch me.” All those factors combined to keep the records of the two biggest Kenai Peninsula mountain bike races in local hands, even though of the 13 finishers in the Kenai 250, 12 were from Anchorage. In the Soggy Bottom 100, held on Resurrection and Devil’s, Soldotna’s Adam Reimer still holds the record after covering the 109 miles in 8 hours, 33 minutes and 2 seconds, in 2017. DiMarzio is a two-time champion of that event. “That’s actually a big motivating factor, both this and the Soggy are not held by someone from Anchorage,” he said. “It might wound weird but I like that.” Next up for DiMarzio is the Mount Marathon Race in Seward on July 4. That footrace goes up and down the famed 3,022-foot peak overlooking town. DiMarzio was already able to go for a light hike Sunday and a ride at Lost Lake on Monday. “I feel way better than I did in years past,” he said. “It’s kind of ridiculous.”
US men’s soccer team following American women in France KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — After failing to qualify for their World Cup last year, the U.S. men’s soccer team is following the American women in France as their World Cup. “We’ve been watching every game and paying
close attention,” defender Tim Ream said Tuesday ahead of the U.S. group stage finale against Panama in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. “They have our full support.” The U.S. and Panama are both 2-0 and have clinched berths in the quar-
terfinals on Sunday in Philadelphia. The Americans would clinch Group D with a win or a draw and would face the second-place team from Group C: Jamaica, El Salvador or Curacao. Meanwhile in France, the defending champion U.S. women play the host
nation Friday in a quarterfinal at Paris. “It’s great,” men’s coach Gregg Berhalter said. “We’re proud of what they’re doing. We’re really happy that the whole country is tied into their quest for the world championship. When you look
at the World Cup being played and the Gold Cup being played at the same time, all it does is bring more attention to soccer, and that’s fantastic.” The U.S. has 35 wins, one loss and four defeats in the Gold Cup group stage.

Kenley Jansen worked around Nick Ahmed’s two-out single and stolen base in the ninth for his 23rd save.
BRAVES 3, CUBS 2 CHICAGO (AP) — Ozzie Albies and Ronald Acuña Jr. homered, Max Fried pitched six innings of two-hit ball and Atlanta beat Chicago. Acuña crushed the first pitch of the game from Cubs rookie Adbert Alzolay into the left-field bleachers for his 19th homer of the season. Albies hit a towering two-run shot to right center off Mike Montgomery (1-2) in the seventh that gave Atlanta the lead. Fried (9-3) struck out eight, walked a season-high five and allowed two runs in winning his second straight start.
ROYALS 8, INDIANS 6 CLEVELAND (AP) — Hunter Dozier’s grand slam capped Kansas City’s stunning five-run rally in the ninth inning off Cleveland closer Brad Hand. Hand (4-3) was a perfect 22 for 22 in save chances. But the left-hander did not record an out against the Royals, who entered the ninth down 6-3 before storming back. Nicky Lopez had an RBI infield single before Kansas City loaded the bases and Dozier connected on Hand’s first pitch for his first career grand slam and 13th homer.
RANGERS 5, TIGERS 3 DETROIT (AP) — Jesse Chavez pitched into the seventh inning in his longest outing in over two years, and Texas beat Detroit. Detroit has lost 18 of its last 20 home games, and that does not include a game last month that was suspended with the Tigers trailing. Chavez (3-2) allowed an unearned run and five hits in 6 1/3 innings, striking out seven with no walks. It was his longest outing since he went seven innings on June 16, 2017.

Cole (7-5) yielded seven hits and one run in six innings against the team which drafted him first overall in 2011 and where he spent five seasons before a trade to Houston before last season. Cole struck out three and walked two as he won his third straight decision.
TWINS 9, RAYS 4 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Eddie Rosario had four hits, Willians Astudillo added three hits and Minnesota extended Blake Snell’s troubles. Jonathan Schoop and C.J. Cron hit solo homers for Minnesota, which got to Snell (4-7) for seven runs and 11 hits in just 3 1/3 innings. Kyle Gibson (8-4) allowed four runs and seven hits in seven innings as the Twins won for the third time in four games.
MARINERS 8, BREWERS 3 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Daniel Vogelbach hit a two-run homer to lift Seattle past Milwaukee for the Mariners’ first interleague win in five tries this season.

Four Mariners’ relievers shut out the Brewers over the final four innings.

GIANTS 4, ROCKIES 2 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Madison Bumgarner struck out 11 batters in six innings and also drove in a run with an RBI single that helped lead San Francisco. Bumgarner (4-7) bounced back from a rough start with a sharp performance in what could be an audition for a contender looking to add a proven playoff performer down the stretch. Bumgarner retired the first 10 batters he faced with six strikeouts before allowing a solo homer to Ian Desmond.
ANGELS 5, REDS 1 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Tommy La Stella hit a leadoff inside-the-park homer and Luis Rengifo added a threerun shot for Los Angeles.

Mother-in-law’s nighttime attire causes consternation doesn’t want us to be described as anything more than friends. We are together every day, and he knows I love him. We have sex, and I sleep over whenever possible. He wants me there all the time but with no status. Am I wrong for wanting more? Will there ever be more? ABIGAIL VAN BUREN -- NAMELESS IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR NAMELESS: The answers to your questions are no and no. Your “friend” wants the benefits of being a lover and none of the responsibility. Have you talked with him about this and how it makes you feel? You are not “wrong” for wanting more, but you are mistaken if you think that being at his beck and call is the way to get the commitment he seems to be so unwilling to make. You might have better results if you quit being so available. DEAR ABBY: I’m recently married to my second wife. We have a great relationship, but I feel like she has a better relationship with my two daughters than I do. They do everything together, and my daughters don’t want to do anything that

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, June 26, 2019: This year, you will often act quickly, but you might not appreciate the results. You will do a juggling act as your impulsiveness soars yet your sensitivity remains. If single, you could find that this duo makes dating more challenging. The person who will relate well to you will understand and accept your duality. If attached, your sweetie has had glimpses and understands your diverse personality. You will find relating to him or her far more rewarding this year. ARIES often pushes you to act. Slow down and think before taking their advice. 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 feel as if you can take on the world if you could stop some of the obstacles that keep coming at you. You could try to be more mellow in your dealings and less reactive. Get to the bottom of a situation; make a needed change. Tonight: Accept a spontaneous invitation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You willingly express your feelings about a certain person or situation. Choose your words with care as you might want to take them back later. Walk in another person’s shoes before making a decision. Tonight: Get some extra R&R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. A loved one might have very strong words about a situation. You cannot change this person’s mind. If need be, head in another direction yet express your caring. Tonight: An overdue chat. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might feel as if you do not have enough personal time. You might want to schedule a day just for you. That experience of having a day off might be more important than you realize. Tonight: Express your feelings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might experience some complications that you might not want to share with others. Holding in your feelings might not be the best idea. Sharing them with a dear friend could help you process them. Tonight: Treat yourself to some mind candy.

includes me. Part of me is grateful they have such a great relationship, but I’m also jealous that my relationship with them is not as good as hers. Should I say something? I don’t want to ruin what they have, but I feel neglected. Am I being selfish? Should I just ignore it and get a hobby or something? -- ENVIOUS IN THE EAST DEAR ENVIOUS: I wish you had mentioned how old your daughters are. I see nothing to be gained by not discussing this with your wife. Parenting is not supposed to be a contest. Your daughters may not mean to exclude you, but may assume you wouldn’t be interested in the things they are doing or discussing. (I’m thinking of things females like to do together.) If you let them know you’re sincerely interested in joining in some of their activities, you may be surprised at how quickly they include you. Also, set a standing (monthly) breakfast or lunch date -- just you and your daughters -- so you can spend some quality time together.

DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful mother-inlaw whom I love very much. She frequently stays overnight in my home. I also have two young sons. My mother-in-law recently mentioned to me that she doesn’t wear underwear to bed and never has, including while staying at my house. I’m troubled by this because she wears nightgowns to bed, and I’m afraid my sons might accidentally see her lady parts. Also, she sleeps on my furniture like this, and I feel it is disrespectful and unladylike. I don’t know how to say to her that, for the sake of my furniture and my sanity, I need her to wear underwear to bed when she stays at my house. Do I broach this subject, or am I being unreasonable? -- PROPER IN OHIO DEAR PROPER: What your mother-inlaw wears to bed is her business, not yours. Unless your little boys are playing peek-a-boo underneath her nightie, they won’t notice -or care. How long is that garment anyway? If it reaches below her knees or to her ankles, there should be no “bootie contact” with your sofa. In the interest of family harmony, I recommend you take a chill pill and leave the subject alone. DEAR ABBY: I’m in love with a man who
