U.S. ed secretary visits alternative schools ANCHORAGE — The U.S. education secretary is touring Alaska to see how communities use alternatives to traditional K-12 public schooling, a report said. The trip this week is the first visit to Alaska by Secretary Betsy DeVos, Alaska Public Media reported Monday. Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy hosted DeVos at Mat-Su Central School in Wasilla, a public alternative school that focuses on individual student outcomes. The school coordinates with district and charter schools and other private options to build curricula around students, officials said. DeVos is a champion of school vouchers and charter schools and said the Mat-Su model could serve as a template for rural communities. Responding to a question for DeVos, Dunleavy said alternative schools would not look like boarding schools. Many Native communities oppose them. “Some of those trepidations are probably steeped in history when kids were forced to go to a boarding school, or forced to do something that they or their parents didn’t want to have happen,” Dunleavy said. “That’s an era we’re not dealing with now.” Village schooling alternatives could implement local culture in a robust manner, DeVos said. “I think the opportunity to actually embrace and celebrate the culture and the experience of some of the indigenous people is one focus of how to rethink education and think about it anew,” DeVos said. DeVos also visited American Charter Academy in the Mat-Su Borough with Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who voted against her confirmation as education secretary because of concerns about DeVos’s lack of experience with public schools and Alaska. DeVos is scheduled to visit Anchorage, Nome and Kotzebue. — Associated Press

BP sells assets to Hilcorp Alaska for $5B By Becky Bohrer Associated Press
JUNEAU — BP plans to sell its interests in Alaska’s once prodigious North Slope to a company seen as having a reputation of giving new life
to aging fields. The sale to Hilcorp Alaska, an affiliate of Texas-based Hilcorp Energy Co., would be worth $5.6 billion, and include interests in the Prudhoe Bay oil field, Point Thomson gas field and the
trans-Alaska pipeline system, BP said in a release. Harvest Alaska, another Hilcorp affiliate, will acquire BP’s stake in the pipeline. The sale announced Tuesday would be subject to state and federal approval. The
sale comes as BP attempts to divest $10 billion in assets by 2020. Energy analyst Phil Flynn said since Bob Dudley became BP’s chief executive, the company has been shedding older fields and those

Union plans to fight ruling over dues By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

The State of Alaska is not in compliance with the U.S. Supreme Court regarding state employee payments toward unions, according to an opinion released by Alaska Attorney General Kevin Clarkson Tuesday. But union leaders see the ruling as another attempt to undermine collective bargaining power. The opinion is “just another attempt by the Dunleavy administration to stifle workers’ constitutional rights on the job,” Jake Metcalf, executive director of the Alaska State Employees Association (ASEA), told the Empire by phone Tuesday. Clarkson’s opinion states that the current process whereby a State of Alaska employee must choose to opt-out of union dues or fees is a violation of free speech, citing the U.S. Supreme Court’s Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Council 31. That 2018 decision says because unions engage in political activity employees might not agree with, making non-union employees contribute to unions either through dues or agency fees violated their right to free speech. The state’s current “opt-out” violated the First Amendment under the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Janus, Clarkson said, because it automatically includes union deductions for public employees. Employees must instead choose to “opt-in” to union contributions, Clarkson’s opinion states. Furthermore, sufficient evidence that “those consents are knowing, intelligent, and freely given,” must be provided to the state and updated regularly, the ruling said. “Forcing State employees through state law to pay union dues that will be used for political purposes and speech they may not agree with has created an unconstitutional restriction of free speech,” Clarkson said in a press release. “The nation’s highest court has ruled repeatedly that freedom of speech also means the right to refrain

Cooper Landing remained in “SET” status Tuesday night, a day after the Swan Lake Fire’s movement across Resurrection Trail spurred highway closures and an alert that residents should be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice. The Sterling Highway was open as of 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, but travel was not advised from Watson Lake at
Mile 71 to Seward Highway at Mile 36. Cooper Landing School was closed on Tuesday. Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Director of Communications Pegge Erkeneff said that the school will remain closed until Cooper Landing is no longer in “SET” status. Erkeneff said that the school district is working with the state on a waiver so that the missed days will not have to be made up later in the year.
Emergency shelters have been reestablished at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex and Seward High School. Red Cross volunteer Brenda Chamness said that no one used the Soldotna shelter Monday night, but the shelter was visited by Emergency Manager Dan Nelson from the borough, Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce and Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski. See fire, Page A2
Tax bite worries licensed pot growers By Becky Bohrer Associated Press
JUNEAU — Alaska marijuana grower Leif Abel considers his business successful but still feels like he’s living “paycheck to paycheck” much of the time.
A greenhouse expansion is behind schedule, and he said the company could have hired more crews to work on it if taxes and other expenses weren’t so high. “We don’t have enough of a cushion where we could comfortably have a crop failure, and that’s not
Special delivery: Rescued sea otter pup gets airlift from Homer By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
On Monday, a sea otter pup was rescued by the Alaska SeaLife Center near Homer. The pup, who was found stranded against rocks by strong current, was admitted to the center’s Wildlife Response Program, a Tuesday press release from the Alaska SeaLife Center said. The pup is estimated to be about three weeks old and weighs 5 pounds, and staff said she’s in stable condition. The female pup was picked up in Homer, but due to road closures caused by the Swan Lake Fire, the center’s staff were unable to meet the pup in Homer. The Homer
Vet Clinic cared for the pup overnight before Homer pilot, Duke Marolf, transported the pup to Seward through a donated flight. Air transport of animals is rare at the Seward Airport and has only happened a few times in the center’s 20-year history, the release said. With the arrival of the pup, the center now is caring for six sea otters. Four of the sea otters have graduated from the Wildlife Response Program and are awaiting their final placement, while the new pup and another pup named Tazlina are the youngest and require extensive, around-the-clock care. In the wild, sea otter pups are dependent on their mothers for about six months.

Chamness said that Nelson briefed her and the other volunteers on what to expect going into Tuesday and told her to prepare for about 100 people coming from Cooper Landing to use the shelter. Bud Sexton, public information officer for the Office of Emergency Management, said on Tuesday that in the event of an evacuation from Cooper Landing, residents are likely to leave town in both directions, so both shelters were told to be prepared for a large influx of people. The Red Cross had about 10 cots set up at the Sports Complex on Tuesday, and Chamness said that about 200 more cots are in storage and readily available if needed. The shelter also had a supply of water, ramen, cookies and coffee, as well as full use of the kitchen, although Chamness said that without a volunteer to prepare meals they have to rely on prepackaged food. Much of the supplies were left over from when the shelter originally opened on the night of Aug. 17. “We’re trying to prepare for just about anything,” Chamness said. Cash donations can be made at Redcross.org, and the Red Cross of the Kenai Peninsula are currently accepting donations of prepackaged food items, water and coffee at the shelter. Chamness said that people can also come to the shelter and speak with her if they wish to volunteer. Centennial and Swiftwater Parks are available for free camping for anyone affected by the fire, and those with livestock can leave their animals at the Soldotna Rodeo Grounds. Mike, Robin and Laura Haight have been keeping their two horses at the rodeo grounds since last week. The Haights are from Kodiak, but they’ve been on the road all summer because Laura is participating in the high school rodeo circuit as she does every year. Normally, the Haights are able to take their horses

everywhere they go, but this weekend they had to leave them in Soldotna while they drove up to Palmer for the Alaska State Fair. “This has been a really big help, being able to stay here,” Mike said. Mike said that people from the Soldotna Equestrian Association checked on their horses while they were gone to make sure they had food and water, and they have been able to exercise the horses on the rodeo grounds. The Haights drove back from Palmer Sunday night and described the flames that they saw while driving along the highway. “It was scary,” Robin Haight said. “We drove through it right as the inferno started going up. The truck was hot, sparks looked like they were coming from the sky … It was really scary.” “I can’t believe folks were actually making it through there,” Mike Haight said. “I wouldn’t have wanted to have the horses with us for that.” According to the latest update from the Great Basin Incident Management Team, firefighters assigned to structure protection spent Monday night at the community center in Cooper Landing to be available for rapid response after the Swan Lake Fire reached the Bean Creek and Slaughter Ridge area just a few miles north of Cooper Landing. On Tuesday morning, firefighters in the area determined that the fire had advanced a few hundred yards into the Resurrection Trail area. According to reports from Swan Lake Air Operations, the fire had not made any significant advances south between Slaughter and Shaft Creeks. The Trout Lake Cabins remain unaffected. Smoke is still heavy in the area, but three helicopters were able to perform water drops Tuesday afternoon using water from Trout Lake and Juneau Lake. As smoke conditions clear, fixed wing aircraft will come in to reinforce the aerial operations. Firefighters remained in the area Tuesday to complete their assessment of structures in the community and to complete the contingency line in the Slaughter Ridge area. Planned

contingencies and resources are in position if the fire moves toward Cooper Landing. A fire line is also being constructed toward Surprise Creek in order to limit the fire’s growth toward the Russian River. Larry Bickle, incident management team public information officer, said Tuesday morning that the fire is currently at 158,042 acres. Bickle said that a flyby of the fire’s perimeter near Cooper Landing Tuesday morning showed minimal activity. Because Cooper Landing remains in “SET” status today, all residents should be prepared to evacuate if the situation warrants. The “SET” status is not a notice to evacuate, but anyone who is uncomfortable staying in their home or anyone who needs additional time should consider leaving before an evacuation notice. The north winds on Monday allowed firefighters to successfully conduct burnout operations along the highway. During these operations, hotshot crews used drip torches to methodically light unburned fuel on the south side of the highway between mile markers 63.5 and 66.5. This operation helped to secure the highway and further protect the Hidden Lake Campground. The fire perimeter in this area was assessed Tuesday, and night operations patrolling the Sterling Highway and Skilak Road will continue. The Sterling neighborhoods east of Feuding Lane and east of Adkins Road remain in a “READY” status. This status is not a notice to leave, but it
does mean that residents in the area should be ready for potential evacuation. In a Tuesday afternoon update, Operations Section Chief Rocky Gilbert explained that the western perimeter of the fire is staffed by 160 personnel who will spend the next 10 to 14 days reinforcing and strengthening the containment line along the perimeter. The western perimeter has not seen any growth since the initial flareup two weekends ago that saw the fire cross the Sterling Highway at several points. At the fire’s southwest corner, crews will be mopping up within 30 to 50 feet of the fire line in order to prevent reignition. Structure protection crews at Kelly Lake, Engineer Lake, Upper Ohmer cabins, the Skilak Guard Station and the Hidden Lake Pavilion remain in place. Dry weather conditions with above-average temperatures continued Tuesday. Winds from the north to northwest will continue to transport smoke to the south and southeast. The weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with no precipitation expected. A highpressure system will enter the area over the weekend, bringing an increase in winds as well as an increased chance of precipitation. The latest information about the fire can be found at kpboem.com or on Facebook at KPB alerts, and a call center is available at 907-262-INFO (4636). A community meeting for Cooper Landing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at Cooper Landing School.

Olga Hilleary
December 18, 1927 - August 23, 2019 Lifelong Alaskan and Longtime Nikiski resident, Ms. Olga Hilleary, 91, passed Friday, August 23, 2019 at Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna. A celebration of her life will be held 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Saturday, August 31, 2019 at Tyotka’s Elder Center in Old Town Kenai. Olga was born in Anchorage on Dec. 18, 1927. She was raised in an Episcopal Mission in Nenana until she was 17. She married Isam Hilleary in 1951 and together they raised six children. In 1963, they moved to Kenai from Anchorage and began homesteading, they commercial fished at East Forelands. Mom was a member of Redoubt Homemaker and The Elks Club. She was one of the original board members of the Salamatof Native Corporation as well as a shareholder with CIRI. She loved sewing, and her children were recipients of her sewing skills. She liked berry picking, canning, moose hunting, reading, being on the beach at the fish camp, traveling, spending time out at the cabin, picnics, sightseeing, and anything that involved her family… oh, and drinking coffee! She created many happy memories for her family, especially at the holiday. After her husband passed, she got a dog who she lovingly named Barkley and he was her faithful companion for many years. The family wrote, “We will miss you dearly Mom and your beautiful smile. Taking rides with you, talking, laughing and joking around. You were such a good sport! Love you Mom.” She was preceded in death by her husband, Isam Hilleary and son Russell Hilleary. She is survived by her children; Richard and Janet Hilleary, Ronald Hilleary, Pat Hilleary, Jeannie Smith, Pamela and Dennis Moelgein and Debra and Chris Little; 13 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Arrangements made by Peninsula Memorial Chapel & Crematory. Please visit and sign her online guestbook at AlaskanFuenral.com.

to pay the state’s $50-perounce cannabis tax as marijuana prices have tumbled. He said he’s paid his taxes on time, but it hasn’t always been easy. Forty-five growers in the state are delinquent, compared to six a year ago, according to figures provided by Alaska’s Department of Revenue. For the June tax filing period, more than 160 growers had filed a tax return with the state. The cannabis tax is imposed on cultivators when pot is sold or transferred from a grow facility to a retail shop or product manufacturer. There is a lesser tax rate for immature bud and trimmings. Among states that have legalized recreational cannabis, Alaska is the only one whose tax structure is built solely on a fixed dollar amount paid by growers, according to information compiled by the Pew Charitable Trusts, a public policy organization. Alaska has no statewide sales tax, though some municipalities, like Anchorage, levy their own sales tax on weed. By comparison, California has a fixed dollar amount cultivators must pay and has a 15% tax on retail sales. Local governments in that state can add a levy on top of the state tax on retail sales.

late accounts alarming. The tax debt doesn’t go away if a business goes under, she told The Associated Press. Many in the industry blame the tax, though some also see an unlimited number of licensees as part of the problem. Oregon officials cited that state’s issue with unlimited licenses after a massive oversupply of marijuana led to a freefall in prices. Weltzin said Alaska is not in that situation yet, but it’s a concern. “Hopefully, we can get a system figured out where we have a more fair tax structure and a more stringent licensing process, so it will give value to our existing businesses but still encourage new business growth,” she said. Alaska’s $50-an-ounce (28 grams) tax was set by the 2014 voter initiative that legalized recreational marijuana for those 21 and older. While the initiative allowed the state to establish lower rates for certain parts of the plant, which officials have done, a rewrite of the tax is considered up to the Legislature. Surveys are planned to gauge industry representatives’ thoughts, Carrigan said. “We’re trying to figure out … where the sweet spot is with that,” he said, with fairness among growers, retailers and manufacturers a key consideration. Dane Wyrick said the future of his Anchorage cultivation and retail business is hazy after feeling squeezed by state taxes and other
expenses. He said the tax, combined with production expenses and other factors, is too burdensome. Some industry officials and advocates hope for a sympathetic ear in Alaska’s Republican governor, Mike Dunleavy, who has adopted an openfor-business mantra. Dunleavy frustrated the industry earlier this year by appointing to a marijuana regulatory board a woman who was involved in a failed effort to ban cannabis operations in Fairbanks. After lawmakers rejected the appointment, Dunleavy picked a former board member who supported the legalization effort and who Carrigan considers a good choice. Assistant Commerce Commissioner Amy Demboski has convened a work group with industry interests, regulators and the Revenue Department to discuss what they see as business impediments, with taxes among the issues raised, Glenn Hoskinson, a special assistant to Commerce Commissioner Julie Anderson, said by email. “This process is still in its infancy, so it’s too early to know if there is going to be any proposal or anything of substance from this working group,” Hoskinson wrote. Carrigan sees this as an effort to move forward with the administration: “When somebody holds out an olive branch and wants to move forward, you don’t slap their hand.”

a percentage-based tax that also applies to growers. In Alaska, the total amount of late taxes due, with accruing penalties and interest, is about $1 million, according to the department. “When you get into a hole, it’s really hard to get out when the holes keep getting deeper underneath you,” said Jana Weltzin, an attorney who represents Alaska cannabis interests. When the industry first started, prices were around $4,000 a pound (0.45 kilogram), said Cary Carrigan, executive director of the Alaska Marijuana Industry Association, a trade group. They have settled around $2,300 a pound, he said. While the price was expected to decline, “no one anticipated that the floor would drop that low, to the point where if you paid your taxes on time you would not have enough money to pay your employees or your electric bill or something else would suffer,” he said. “That’s why there are so many delinquencies and people that are working on tax payment programs.” The tax generated anticipated revenue of about $1.8 million for the state in June. Three-quarters of state pot revenue is intended to be used for recidivism programs and a marijuana education and treatment fund.

An illegal immigration fix? Highly unlikely
A

head of the first Democratic debates in June, several progressive groups demanded that candidates support their “Free to move, Free to stay” policy platform that includes defunding and reforming Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol. Some of the candidates like those ideas. Julian Castro has said that “instead of breaking up families, we should break up ICE.” Bill de Blasio also endorses abolishing ICE. Many of the candidates, meanwhile, support repealing the statute that makes it a federal crime to illegally enter the United States. Among those who want to make it a civil offense are Castro and Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic frontrunner so far, hasn’t taken that leap. At the second debate, Biden argued sensibly that unless one is seeking asylum, it’s a crime to illegally cross the border and “you should be able to be sent back.” This elicited criticism from some on stage that night and from those on the left angry at the Trump administration’s handling of the ongoing problem at the border. Yet removing the threat of criminal penalty would only exacerbate the situation, a point Sen. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, made in a recent op-ed in USA Today. Lankford joined fellow Republican Sens. Joni Ernst of Iowa and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana in defending the work being done by federal agents to deal with “an undeniable humanitarian crisis” along the southern border. They argued that recent exponential increases in migrants “are a direct result of our outdated immigration laws and the snowball effect of refusing to properly fund ICE. Border Patrol agents are doing everything they can to manage a humanitarian crisis they are neither designed nor equipped to handle. “If our Democratic colleagues continue to work to defund or abolish ICE, people will continue to stack up at the border with nowhere to go,” the senators wrote. The three visited the Rio Grande Valley sector of the border last month and visited various facilities where families are processed or held. They said they were given full access to all facilities and found them well stocked with food, water and clothing, and included air conditioning, showers and washers and dryers. The senators noted that a loophole in our immigration law lets minors and those traveling with minors to quickly enter the country, and it’s being exploited by drug cartels. “Only Congress can close the child migrant loopholes that encourage child smuggling,” they wrote. They pointed out that the United States allows roughly half a million people per day to legally cross the southern border into this country, and it welcomes more than 700,000 new U.S. citizens each year. While there are problems with legal immigration, fixing illegal immigration is imperative, they argued. “We can and must address the challenges at our border,” they wrote. But producing sound policy will require less politicizing of the issue. And with the presidential race in overdrive already, that seems a nearly impossible quest. — The Oklahoman. Aug. 25

here has been much concern regarding the future of the University of Alaska, given the events of the last six months. I’d like to assure all Alaskans that, despite all the upset over our budget and the ongoing need to right-size, no matter what UA’s structure ends up being, UA must and will continue to provide broad access to high quality education and workforce training to students throughout the state. At statehood UA was established as a single legal and financial entity. Over the years, with support from the state, the university established new campuses and facilities across Alaska. The system grew from one university serving Alaskans at numerous locations to three separately accredited universities — each with a distinctive identity and its own administration. In 2012, due to decline in the number of students graduating from high school and changes in student preferences, UA student enrollment and associated tuition revenue began to decline. In 2014, state funding for the university followed as oil revenues fell. This year’s funding agreement with the governor provides for a $70 million reduction over three years. While this is far better than the $136 million reduction in one year originally proposed by the governor, by 2022 annual state funding to the university will have declined by $121 million (32%). These continued reductions require that we right-size the university without downsizing our geographic footprint. I believe many would agree that we should reduce unnecessary administration and focus resources on academic programs and student services. Of course the details matter, and each detail will impact numerous stakeholders. The immediate issue the Board of Regents must face is the $25 million
budget reduction in the fiscal year that started in July, and the rightsizing that must happen as a result. Regents will do so with an eye on another $45 million in cuts over the next two years. In response to direction from the Board of Regents, we are implementing administrative consolidations across the system. We are collecting input on how best to combine duplicative academic colleges and schools, consolidate research institutes, and better integrate our community campuses. However, the savings we generate from these consolidations are limited by our current structure of three separately accredited universities. So the broader question the Legislature, the governor, the Board of Regents and all Alaskans are asking is whether we can afford, and effectively staff, three universities, or whether one university, with programs based in locations across the state, can more cost effectively deliver programs and services to all students. Maintaining three separate universities has the advantage of initially requiring the least structural change and disruption, while preserving local control and identity. However, it also requires three administrations and multiple administrators. This comes with a cost in real dollars which are then not available for students. The three-university structure also has built-in geographic and political constituencies with inevitable silos. That structure impacts UA’s adaptability to respond to a fast changing technological, economic, and demographic reality. It promotes unnecessary competition rather than collaboration, as well as costly differences in student processes and requirements that are barriers to students’ access and progress. In this funding environment, even if the Board of Regents ultimately
decides to maintain three separate universities, those universities will need to change. If savings do not come from elimination of senior administration and redundant bureaucracies, savings must come from the faculty and staff who deliver our academic programs and student services. The board will need to assess whether preserving the current structure is worth the cost to students and academic programs. With just 27,000 students across the state, our entire system is the size of one regional university in the lower 48. There is no question that changing back to a single university would pose issues in institutional and program accreditations, as well as challenges to maintaining local responsiveness and a sense of local identity. Change also creates uncertainty and fear, some real, because jobs and programs will be lost, but some groundless because opportunities for innovation will be created. A transition to one university would not occur without successful accreditation. Nor would it mean that all programs and services would be located in one area. One university would make use of faculty, staff, and facilities across the state to offer programs in-person and online to meet student demand. Change must happen, regardless of UA’s structure. As we rightsize and consolidate administration and academic programs, the Board of Regents and administration will methodically evaluate the options and proceed with a structure that makes the most sense for our students and the state. Because in the end, the University of Alaska must continue to provide access to a high quality education to students all across Alaska. Jim Johnsen is the 14th president of the University of Alaska.

Trump: Federal Reserve is loving U.S. manufacturing troubles By Martin Crutsinger Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, who last week suggested Fed Chairman Jerome Powell could be an enemy, is now saying that the central bank “loves” the troubles U.S. manufacturers are facing. The president’s tweet Tuesday appears to be his latest effort to pressure the central bank to lower interest rates more quickly. But a former top Fed official is pushing back on Trump’s repeated attacks on the Fed and Powell. Bill Dudley, former president of the Fed’s New York regional bank, argues that the Fed should stop enabling Trump’s trade war with China. The Fed cut rates by a quarter-point last month and many economists believe it will reduce rates by another quarter point in September. But Trump has been calling for much more aggressive rate cuts of a full percentage-point to counteract the four rate hikes the Fed delivered last year which Trump believes were a mistake. Dudley wrote in a Bloomberg Opinion piece that if the Fed were to accommodate the president, it could encourage him to escalate his trade war and increase the risk
of a recession. Dudley wrote that Trump’s trade war with China “keeps undermining the confidence of businesses and consumers” and is worsening the outlook for the U.S. economy. “This manufactured disaster-in-themaking presents the Federal Reserve with a dilemma: Should it mitigate the damage by providing offsetting stimulus, or refuse to play along?” Dudley wrote. Dudley argued that if the ultimate goal is achieving a healthy economy, then the central bank should consider not cutting rates to cushion the economy from the adverse effects of Trump’s trade war. “What if the Fed’s accommodation encourages the president to escalate the trade war further, increasing the risk of a recession?” Dudley asked. “The central bank’s efforts to cushion the blow might not be merely ineffectual. They might actually make things worse.” Dudley acknowledged that his proposal goes against conventional wisdom that the Fed should not take positions on policy matters handled by the president and Congress, but rather just stand ready to cushion the economy from adverse effects of those policies. But Dudley said he believes Powell, in a
speech Friday to central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, may have hinted at a change in approach. “He noted that monetary policy cannot ‘provide a settled rulebook for international trade,’” Dudley said. “I see this as a veiled reference to the trade war and a warning that the Fed’s tools are not well-suited to mitigate the damage.” Dudley said that by taking a harder line on future rate cuts, the Fed would discourage Trump from further escalation of his trade war with China by increasing the costs of such a move. He said it would also reassert the Fed’s independence by distancing itself from the administration’s policies and also conserve much-needed ammunition in the form of future Fed rate cuts if the economy slows further. Dudley, who served as the No. 2 official on the Fed’s rate-setting panel from 2009 until he stepped down last year, is now a senior research fellow at Princeton University’s Center for Economic Policy Studies. However, the Fed rejected Dudley’s suggestion. “The Federal Reserve’s policy decisions are guided solely by its congressional mandate to maintain price stability and maximum employment,” said Fed
spokeswoman Michelle Smith. “Political considerations play absolutely no role.” Richard Fisher, who was president of the Fed’s Dallas regional bank, said Tuesday he believes Dudley’s proposal would open the Fed to criticism that it is becoming too critical. Fisher said in a CNBC interview that he believes Powell and other Fed officials should instead state more forcefully that any Fed rate cuts may not be able to mitigate all the uncertainties created by trade frictions. In his tweet on Tuesday, Trump said, “The Federal Reserve loves watching our manufacturers struggle with their exports to the benefit of other parts of the world.” Trump has repeatedly argued that the Fed’s failure to cut U.S. interest rates more quickly is making the dollar too strong against other currencies and thus hurting American exporters, an argument private economists find fault with. “I disagree with the president that a weak dollar is necessary good for the U.S. economy,” said Sung Won Sohn, business economist at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. “To me a strong dollar is a report card which says the U.S. economy is doing well. If you look at countries with weak currencies, they are the ones having trouble economically.”

U.S. moves FEMA, Coast Guard money to fund border programs By Colleen Long Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Department of Homeland Security is moving $271 million from other agencies such as FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard to increase the number of beds for detained immigrants and support its policy forcing asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases play out. The news comes as hurricane season is ramping up and Tropical Storm Dorian is heading toward Puerto Rico. The sprawling 240,000person Homeland Security Department includes the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Coast Guard and the new Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in addition to immigration agencies. It is not uncommon for unassigned funds to be transferred between agencies under the same department as the fiscal year ends. Last year around the same time, about $200 million was transferred, including $10 million from FEMA that prompted major criticism from Democrats. Homeland Security officials said in a statement Tuesday they would transfer $155 million to create temporary
facilities along the U.S.-Mexico border for holding hearings with the aim of moving asylum cases through the system faster. The government has sent more than 30,000 people back to Mexico to wait out their immigration cases in an effort to deter migrants from making a dangerous journey to the U.S. and ease the crush of families from Central America that has vastly strained the system. Asylum seekers generally had been released into the U.S. and allowed to work, but many Trump administration officials believe migrants take advantage of the laws and stop showing up to court. Lawyers for migrants waiting in Mexico have reported major problems reaching clients and getting them to the U.S. for their hearings. And some of the locations in Mexico where migrants are sent are violent and unsafe. The money will come out of unobligated money from the base disaster relief fund at FEMA, lawmakers said. D e m o c rat i c Hou s e members strongly disagreed and accused DHS of going around their specific appropriations. The chairwoman of the House Appropriations homeland security
subcommittee, Lucille Roybal-Allard of California, said the reprogramming would support “inhumane” programs and take away necessary funding for other agencies. “I am greatly concerned that during the course of this administration, there has been a growing disconnect between the will of Congress … and the implementation of the Department’s immigration enforcement operations,” she said in a statement. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said DHS was flouting congressional intent. “Taking money away from TSA and from FEMA in the middle of hurricane season could have deadly consequences,” he said. Homeland Security officials will also transfer $116 million to fund detention bed space for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Congress allocated 45,000 beds for detention, but as of Aug. 24, ICE was detaining 54,344 people. Congress specifically did not authorize additional ICE funding for detention beds when it approved an emergency supplemental funding request of about $1.3 billion from Homeland Security to
manage the huge increase in migrants. “Given the rise of single adults crossing the border, ICE has already had to increase the number of detention beds above what Congress funded,” according to the DHS statement. Without the funding increase ICE can’t keep up with apprehensions by Border Patrol. “This realignment of resources allows DHS to address ongoing border emergency crisis … while minimizing the risk to overall DHS mission performance,” according to the statement. More than 860,000 people have been encountered at the Southern border this budget year, a decade-long high. Of that, 432,838 were in families — last year for the whole fiscal year there were only 107,212 in families. The increase has caused vast overcrowding in border facilities and reports of fetid, filthy conditions and children held for weeks in temporary facilities not meant to hold anyone for longer than a few days. As Tropical Storm Dorian approached the Caribbean and gathered strength, it threatened to turn into a small hurricane that forecasters said could affect the northern Windward Islands and Puerto Rico in upcoming days.
Respiratory ailments hit in Amazon as Brazil spurns G-7 aid for wildfires By Luis Andres Henao and Christopher Torchia Associated Press
PORTO VELHO, Brazil — Acrimony between Brazil and European countries seeking to help fight Amazon fires deepened Tuesday, jeopardizing hopes of global unity over how to protect a region seen as vital to the health of the planet. A personal spat between the leaders of Brazil and France seemed to dominate the dispute, but it also centered on Brazilian perceptions of alleged interference by Europe on matters of sovereignty, economic development and the rights of indigenous people. Brazil said it will set conditions for accepting any aid from the Group of Seven nations, which offered tens of millions of dollars for firefighting and rainforest protections. The Amazon’s rainforests are a major absorber of carbon dioxide, considered a critical defense against rising temperatures and other disruptions caused by climate change. While many of the recorded fires this year were set in already deforested areas by people clearing land for cultivation or pasture, Brazilian government figures indicate that they are much more widespread this year, suggesting the threat to the vast ecosystem is intensifying. The effect of the fires was evident in the Amazonian city of Porto Velho, where a thick pall of smoke covered the sky for most of the day. Elane Diaz, a nurse in the city, spoke about respiratory problems while waiting for a doctor’s appointment at a hospital with her 5-year-oldson Eduardo. “The kids are affected the most. They’re coughing a lot,” Diaz said. “They have problems breathing. I’m concerned because it affects their health.” Still, Diaz and some other residents in Porto Velho, the capital of Rondonia state, were supportive of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, saying he was doing what he could to protect the Amazon and that international criticism was unfounded. “Germany had already

been helping through NGOs and they couldn’t prevent this,” said Mona Lisa Pereira, an agronomist. “It seems like this is the fire of a lifetime. But it’s not. We have fires every year.” Bolsonaro, who took office this year with a promise to boost development in Latin America’s biggest economy, has questioned whether offers of international aid mask a plot to exploit the Amazon’s resources and weaken Brazilian growth. On Tuesday, he said French President Emmanuel Macron had called him a liar and that he would have to apologize before Brazil considers accepting rainforest aid. Macron has to retract those comments “and then we can speak,” Bolsonaro said. In a video message, Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho offered an apology to France for what he called Bolsonaro’s “hysteria,” saying the Brazilian government had resorted to insults to dodge responsibility for the Amazon fires. Bolsonaro met governors of states in the Amazon region, some of whom criticized laws that protect the environment and the rights of indigenous people that they said limited opportunities for economic development. Marcos Jose Rocha dos Santos, the governor of Rondonia state, questioned the intentions of international aid. “International resources are welcome as long as who uses those resources is us,” Rocha dos Santos said. “We will determine where the money will be applied, it’s useless if those resources get
here and go to international NGOs.” At a summit in France on Monday, the G-7 nations pledged $20 million to help fight the flames in the Amazon and protect the rainforest, in addition to a separate $12 million from Britain and $11 million from Canada. Onyx Lorenzoni, the
Brazilian president’s chief of staff, sharpened the criticism, saying Europe should use the funds for its own problems. “Macron could not avoid an obvious fire in a church that is a world heritage site,” Lorenzoni told the G1 news website, referring to the Notre Dame Cathedral that was ravaged by fire in April. Macron, who has questioned Bolsonaro’s trustworthiness and commitment to protecting biodiversity, shrugged off the snub from the Brazilian president. The French leader said Bolsonaro’s interpretation was a “mistake” and that the aid offer is “a sign of friendship.” He said the aid money isn’t just aimed at Brazil, but at nine countries in the vast Amazon region that also spans Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, an overseas region of France. About 60% of the Amazon region is in Brazil.

Deutsche Bank has tax returns sought in probe NEW YORK — President Donald Trump’s longtime bank revealed Tuesday that it has tax records Congress is seeking in its investigation of the president’s finances. Deutsche Bank said in court papers it has tax returns responsive to a subpoena sent this year, in which Congress asked the bank for a host of documents related to Trump and his family. Trump has long declined to release his tax returns and wants to block two House committees from getting the records, calling their document requests unlawful. A federal appeals court ordered Deutsche Bank to say whether or not Trump’s tax returns were in its possession after an attorney for the bank refused to answer that question during a hearing last week. The bank, in its court filing Tuesday, blacked out the name of the person or people whose tax records it had, citing privacy rules. It said it also has tax records “related to parties not named in the subpoenas but who may constitute ‘immediate family’” of individuals named in the document request.
Woman fighting request to turn in 15-year-old vanity plate ROCHESTER, N.H. — A New Hampshire woman is fighting the state Department of Motor Vehicles over her 15-year-old vanity license plate showing a common parental phrase. Seacoastonline.com reports Wendy Auger, of Rochester, has been asked to surrender the plate, which reads “PB4WEGO.” The state says phrases related to excretory acts aren’t permitted. Auger’s appealing. She asked: “Who has a mom or dad or parental figure who hasn’t said that to kids before leaving the house?” She’s one of 92 New Hampshire drivers who received vanity plate recall letters this year. State records show there are 152,028 vanity plates on the road in New Hampshire.
around the world Russian firm sues Boeing over Max jet, open to settlement MOSCOW — A Russian aircraft leasing company that ordered 35 Boeing Max jets is suing the U.S. aircraft maker and seeking to cancel the deal, accusing Boeing of hiding defects in the plane that was grounded after two deadly crashes. The Miami-based lawyer for the leasing company said Tuesday it is the first lawsuit filed against Boeing by a Max customer. He said he is talking to other companies about joining the case. The lawsuit on behalf of Avia Capital Services was filed Monday in state court in Illinois, where Boeing is based. It claims that Boeing committed fraud and breach of contract and was negligent in how it designed and built the plane and convinced the Federal Aviation Administration to approve it.
Trump weighs in as Italians toil to form a new government ROME — While Italians don’t know if they’ll soon have a new government, let alone who might lead it, U.S. President Donald Trump cast his vote Tuesday for caretaker Premier Giuseppe Conte. A day after the two finished attending the G-7 summit in France, Trump tweeted that he hoped Conte would “remain” as premier because he is a “talented” leader who works well with the United States. The tweet triggered a cascade of comments by Italians amused that Trump initially had misspelled Conte’s first name as “Giuseppi,” before it was corrected in a subsequent tweet. — Associated Press

About the abundance of berries this year I
am lucky to have a daughter that really enjoys picking berries. Daughter Gail kept us (me) in raspberries all summer. They are my dessert for breakfast. Her raspberries are big and juicy; she says they are dessert berries. They certainly are!! She progressed to blueberries, and other berries. Thank you for the time you took to pick and GIVE to me!! We have a wild current bush up next to Bob’s Cave-shop. It was over loaded with hanging down branches full of large currents. I juiced them and have 16 cups of juice frozen. I use some of the juice for the base of other jellies. We did not have lots of rhubarb again this year. I picked and diced and gave them to Gail for her stash of berries making jelly and jams.
My strawberries set on very well but they are in the ground not in hanging baskets, so I put bird net over them and watched them bloomed away! They put on little green berries and I kept an eye on them waiting for the first red one! My friend Momma moose parked her twin babies under the purple leaf tree, not very far from the strawberry bed, to have a nap. The next morning when I got up, they had had a breakfast of green strawberries, leaves and new blossoms. EVERYTHING was gone. My hanging baskets with a new verity of strawberry from Fireweed Green House, are safe on the deck and I enjoy them as a treat when they get ripe. NO strawberry jam this year!! When we arrived in Alaska in July of 1967 and was adjusting to
Pioneer potluck ‘Grannie’ Annie Berg the way of life in this great state, one of the main summer occupations was picking wild berries. My favorite place to pick wild raspberries was along both sides of the road leading to the end of the road that is now a paved road and entrance to Captain Cook Park. They were across the bridge at Swanson River. When they put in

e are nearing the end of the warmest summer I’ve ever experienced living in Alaska, thank goodness. The Other Fisherman bought a portable room air conditioner and parked it in the bedroom so he could sleep at night. It sat right next to my side of the bed and I felt like I was sleeping on a glacier. I kept a fan on in the kitchen while cooking and the black lab flat-out refused to go for his late afternoon walks. He’d sit down in the driveway and look at us like we were nuts. Memories of hot and humid Wisconsin summers came flooding back to me. I thought how refreshing it would be to go swimming in a lake or run through the lawn sprinkler. Us kids would try to escape the heat by playing Monopoly all afternoon in the basement of my folks’ house eating endless popsicles. I totally understand why I chose not to use the oven much, just as Mom didn’t for most of the summer, as it would make the house all that much warmer. Eat? Who has an appetite when it’s so hot? Work in the yard or go for a walk? Not happening. I sat on the deck in the shade with a cool glass of ice tea or rosé and prayed for a little breeze. We are not used to all this sunshine and heat. I used to enjoy the comfort of Homer’s cool summers — that’s why we love it here. The raspberry patch is going to produce more ripe berries than ever if we don’t pick them every day each day. I think they get ripe around the clock and I swear that they ripen right behind me as I pick me way up the row. What in the world are we all going to do with all the raspberries we picked and froze? Make wine? Maybe eat a raspberry smoothie every morning? Last year the raspberry patch decided to take a little break and the precious supply we had was used sparingly and only for special recipes. What a different situation we are in this year. What is summer without fruit pie? When the pie recipe calls for an entire pound of raspberries, which I just happened to have, and cream, which I had left from making ice cream for my cooking class, you make Food52’s
the new bridge and paved the road all those wonderful bushes were destroyed. Bob and I have picked our share of currents in places around the Capt Cook Park but they are gone now too. When we built our home, Bob located bushes of currents under the cottonwood trees on our property. We have had some years of good quality currents. When he built his Cave-Shop there is a bush that he did not disturb, and it has survived beside the Cave. It is his pride and keeps it watered and fertilized every year. Some years it is not so productive but this year it made up for it. Also, beside Bob’s Cave is a row of raspberries that have survived for several years in that sunny spot.
They are from starts that grew wild on the Coulter Homestead. My morning walk for breakfast is to go hunt for those ripe berries. I have not seen many watermelon berries this year, but I am sure they are full and ripe right now. When the kids were young they thought the greatest find in the woods was ripe watermelon berries. But sometimes certain little kids would eat the green melons, saying they tasted like cucumbers. We had the pleasure to go pick gooseberries at John and Marty Ragan. They are big and plump! I plan on making a gooseberry pie in memory of my Dad. He loved gooseberry pie — but on the farm See annie, Page A7
Unusual hot days call for a tasty treat like Raspberry Swamp Pie
Amanda Hesser’s Raspberry Swamp Pie. It reminds me of my mom’s rhubarb custard pie, sort of. It’s cooler in the evenings now, so I think it’s OK to turn the oven on and make a pie. Raspberry Swamp Pie For the pie crust ⁄4 cup turbinado sugar 2 1⁄4 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out 2 sticks salted butter, cut into 1⁄2 -inch cubes and chilled 1 ⁄4 cup plus 1 tablespoon ice water, plus more if needed For the filling 1-pound raspberries 1 ⁄3 cup vanilla sugar (or sugar blended with either the seeds of half a vanilla bean or 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract) 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 large egg, separated 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar 3 ⁄4 cup heavy cream Place the sugar in the bowl of a food processor and puree until the sugar granules are fine. Add the flour, and pulse the mixture to blend. Add the cubed butter, and pulse until the butter is reduced to the size of small peas. With the motor running, add the ice water through the feed tube, and stop the machine as soon as a mass begins forming. If you pinch a small piece of dough and it holds together, this means it’s ready. Lay out two large squares of plastic wrap and divide the dough among them, making one lump slightly larger than the other. Use the plastic wrap to help you shape each mass into a disk, then wrap it up and chill for at least 1 hour. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured board (or between layers of lightly floured plastic wrap), roll out the larger disk of dough to a circle 1⁄8-inch thick, about 12 inches in diameter. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the dough. Chill the lined pie dough, while you roll out the other disk to a circle 1⁄8-inch thick. In a mixing bowl, fold together the raspberries, vanilla sugar, and flour. In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Fill the lined pie plate with the raspberry mixture. Top with the second layer of dough. Trim the edges with scissors so there’s ¾-inch dough hanging from the edge of the pie plate. Roll this under to meet the edge of the plate and pat it down lightly to seal and flatten the edge. Brush the top of the pie with the egg white and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Cut a cross in the center of the pie and 4 vents around the rest of the pie. Bake the pie for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the cream and egg yolk in a measuring cup with a spout and leave out at 1

After 40 minutes, the pie top should be golden and there should be raspberry juices bubbling from the vents. Remove the pie from the oven. Press a funnel with a narrow tip into the center pie vent and slowly begin pouring in the cream mixture. Pour the cream into each of the pie vents. Some of the cream will sneak under
the crust and some will pool on top. Don’t worry about how it looks, but go slowly so you don’t completely drown the crust. Set the pie back in the oven and bake until the cream just sets but is still a little wiggly in the center, about 10 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and let the pie cool off before serving — or it will be more soupy than swampy.
Corn: 5 recipes for the farmers market favorite By Daniel Neman St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Corn: It’s more than just a standard of measurement of elephants’ height. It’s also a most venerable vegetable. And it’s summer, which means it is time for corn. And that is reason to celebrate. I decided to make corn in five different ways. That’s five of my six favorite ways to eat corn, the sixth being on the cob. Actually, my very favorite way is plucked fresh from the stalk and immediately eaten raw, but I have only had the opportunity to do that once. If you ever get the chance, try it. But if you aren’t growing it yourself, be sure to ask the farmer first. Not only do you need his permission, he can tell you if the corn he grows is meant for people or livestock. That being said, I made corn five ways that do not involve conversations with farmers you don’t know. They were all winners. No, they were better than that. They were all Stanley Cup winners. Each was better than the last. I’m talking about seriously incredible recipes here.
I began with Corn Salad à la Mary Anne, which brings together all of the best flavors of the summer in one well-mixed dish. Fresh corn and fresh tomatoes blended with a bit of sweet onion and topped with summery cilantro. It’s like a farmers market on a plate. Tying the flavors together is the sparing use of a vinaigrette. You can use your favorite vinaigrette if you choose, but I heartily recommend a bistro vinaigrette, which is the best vinaigrette I’ve ever made and maybe the best I’ve ever had. It’s the only dressing we use at home. For my second variation on a corn theme, I made a Southern staple: corn pudding. I lived in the South for nearly 30 years, and in that time I probably consumed a small ocean of corn pudding. Most of it was sweet but some was savory, and I always preferred the savory kind. So when I discovered a recipe for savory corn pudding from Southern Living magazine, I knew that was the one I had to make. This is the real deal corn pudding. No canned corn. No creamed corn. Certainly no Jiffy Corn Muffin mix. This is corn pudding made from kernels
cut right off the ears, the way God and Robert E. Lee intended. It is made from wholesome ingredients, such as fresh eggs, heavy cream and butter. I said it was wholesome, I didn’t say it was low cal. But it is also silky and satisfying and utterly magnificent. My next effort was a corn salad based on a popular Indian street food. To be honest, it looked almost exactly like Corn Salad à la Mary Anne, but the flavors could not be more different. With this Indian-inspired dish, the corn is first roasted and charred in a pan. The kernels are then tossed in a highly flavored dressing that mixes a blend of traditional spices (cumin, cardamom and garam masala) with heat from cayenne pepper and the cooling citrus bite of fresh-squeezed lime juice. It’s kind of an astonishing array of tastes, but it works because they all share a flavorful kinship to the corn. Fritters were next — or as they are officially called, Zucchini Corn Cakes. But really: fritters. The secret to making these is to squeeze all the moisture you possibly can out of the
shredded zucchini, and then squeeze out some more. And then maybe a little more. The as-dry-as-you-can-make-it zucchini is then mixed with corn kernels and scallions, bound with eggs and flour, and flavored with Parmesan, garlic, parsley and basil. How could you beat fried patties of that mixture? One way, actually: by dipping them in a spicy sauce. The sauce is simple, just a lot of Greek yogurt mixed with a little sriracha, but it is a perfect accompaniment to the fritters. One dish had to be last, and it happened to be Pappardelle With Corn. This one was so good, a taste tester asked how it managed to taste like it came from a restaurant. “My spectacular cooking technique,” I said, but really it was the ingredients. Pappardelle is a long, broad pasta; I went to an Italian market to find it, and I bought a particularly good quality noodle. So the pasta made an especially good base for a dish made from corn, cherry tomatoes, garlic, white wine, chicken broth, scallions and Parmesan, plus a lot of butter. It’s a truly wonderful dish, just like all of See corn, Page A7

in Colorado, they wild ones were little green and bitter. Mom used a ton of sugar making them taste like a gooseberry!! Now we have three bushes growing our yard. Thanks John!! Blueberries are not supposed to be picked before the first frost — at least that is what some homesteader told me. BUT now if the round blueberries are seen they are picked before the next person sees them. Our blueberry patch is up on the corner, just a skip from us. BUT as I have written about before, as far as I am concerned it belongs to the big brown bear who lives in the blueberry patch! There are certain people who brave the area with a gun strapped to their side. NOT me!! I will just go somewhere else. High- and low-bush cranberries are abundant most years. I want to make some catsup with them. They are a good base for other berries that you do not have enough of to make a full batch of jelly or jam. And if you are lacking the cranberries or other juices, apple juice will do to the stretch the last batch of berry juice. For many years a generous man we call Mr. Ed, had located every

With the invention of Campbell’s Soup company in 1934 and the introduction of Cream of Mushroom soup, it became a weekly casserole to feed the family. 1 can of cream of mushroom soup 1 ⁄2 cup milk 2 cups hot cooked noodles, drained 1 cup cooked peas, optional 2 tablespoons chopped pimento, optional 2 cans (6 ounces each) tuna drained. Or 1 pint of canned salmon with dark pieces removed makes this a wonderful Alaskan dish. 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs 1 tablespoon melted butter Mix soup, milk, noodles, peas and pimentos and tuna (salmon). Pour into buttered 1 1⁄2 quart casserole dish. Mix the crumbs and the butter and sprinkle over tuna. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

If, like me, you planted a handful of zucchini seeds several months ago, you are now probably trying to figure out what to do with all that squash. Danielle Majeika is here to help. Her “Vegetable Gardener’s Cookbook” is loaded with great ideas for using the
produce you are growing in your back yard. Majeika, who lives in South Dakota, is the creator of The Perpetual Season vegetarian blog. The book is organized by the four seasons, with recipes for asparagus, peas and leeks in the spring chapter; heirloom tomatoes, corn and squash in the summer chapter; Brussels sprouts
Pick, sort and wash carefully and measure the fireweed blossoms. Add lemon juice and water. Boil slowly for 10 minutes — strain. Return to the liquid to the kettle and reheat to lukewarm. Add the pectin, stir and bring to a boil. Add sugar and bring to full boil. Boil for JUST ONE minute. Pour into sterilized jars and seal. This is a pretty pink jelly that I like to use for Christmas presents.

berry bush in Alaska. He picked and gave them to me for the return of some jelly and jam. Unfortunately for many of us, including me, we are not capable of doing that any more. His knowledge of berries and where to pick them is endless. His generosity is much appreciated. Fall brings smoked salmon and canned salmon. I spent many a year of my 52 years in Alaska canning salmon. Gail does an excellent job at smoking salmon, also. I still can some salmon but I am the only one that eats it. I love it in potato soup and as I have stated in other articles do not EVER put salmon in Bob’s potato soup. He likes broccoli in it once in a while. If you ask him what kind of soup he wants, He always says “POTATO.” We have a row of potatoes on a piece of our property that was dug up for a phone repair. It is fine topsoil. Never mind we have to walk or take the pick-up to water them, Bob never forgets and HIS potatoes look very nice this year. Through the years we have grown potatoes as they grow so well in Alaska. One year, not having a place to grow them, he hauled in saw dust and planted our starts in it. Great potatoes and a good memory of what you can do if you want something like a potato to grow.

Gauff erases deficits to win US Open debut By Howard Fendrich AP Tennis Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Here’s how new all of this is to Coco Gauff: She didn’t quite realize she only has to play every other day at the U.S. Open. “I’m still used to playing juniors,” the American said with a chuckle, “so I forgot about the day off.” She’s still just 15. She’s competing in just her second Grand Slam tournament. And yet she’s definitely showing she can perform like someone much older and more experienced. With her parents jumping out of their front-row seats over and over again, and a raucous partisan crowd backing her at Louis Armstrong
Stadium, Gauff trailed by a set and a break, then again by a break in the third set, before coming up big down the stretch to get past Anastasia Potapova of Russia 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 in her debut at Flushing Meadows. “Honestly, I mean, I really don’t remember the match too well,” Gauff said, “because everything is still a blur.” Here is what is clear: She displayed the same sort of gumption she did while saving match points in a Centre Court comeback at Wimbledon during her captivating run to the fourth round there last month. Gauff simply does not give in or give up. As strong as her serve
and other strokes are, she’s already showing an ability to make adjustments during a match and figure out ways to win, time and again. Gauff was ranked 313th when she got a wild-card invitation into qualifying at Wimbledon, then became the youngest player in history to make it through those preliminary rounds at that prestigious tournament. After beating Venus Williams in the first round, then a 2017 Wimbledon semifinalist in the second, Gauff got to Week 2 before her surprising showing there ended with a loss to eventual champion Simona Halep. It was enough to persuade the U.S. Tennis Association See Open, Page A9

Ostrander collects another accolade Staff Report Peninsula Clarion
Soldotna runner Allie Ostrander was named Mountain West Female ScholarAthlete of the Year Tuesday in a press release from the conference. The scholar-athlete award honors one male and female athlete each year who best exemplifies the term studentathlete by “achieving excellence in academics, athletics and community involvement”. Ostrander helped earn the award by winning a third straight Div. I steeplechase title in early June, the first female athlete ever to three-peat in a Div. I championship, while graduating Boise State with a 4.0 GPA and a degree in kinesiology. The honor is Ostrander’s first

Astros win after Verlander ejected HOUSTON (AP) — Rookie Yordan Alvarez homered twice as Houston jumped on former teammate Charlie Morton to build a big lead before Justin Verlander was ejected in the sixth inning. The Astros honored Morton (13-6) with a pregame video recounting the highlights of his two-year stint with the team. Houston’s hitters didn’t give Morton nearly as warm of a reception in his first trip to Minute Maid Park since signing with the Rays. The Astros tagged him for seven hits and a season-high six runs in four innings, which tied his shortest start this season. Verlander (16-5) was ejected for yelling at home plate umpire Pat Hoberg in the sixth. He became upset when he thought he struck out Tommy Pham, but the pitch was called a ball.
ATHLETICS 2, ROYALS 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Marcus Semien provided just enough early
offense and Mike Fiers and three Oakland relievers combined to shut down the Kansas City Royals in a 2-1 victory Tuesday night. Semien scored in the first inning and drove in a run in the second. That was all the offense the A’s pitchers needed one day after Oakland had a season-high 19 runs. Fiers (13-3) scattered eight hits in his 5 1/3 innings, but allowed just Alex Gordon’s RBI double in the sixth. He’s now won 11 straight decisions, dating to May 7, tying Mark Mulder for the second-longest winning streak in Oakland history.
ORIOLES 2, NATIONALS 0 WASHINGTON (AP) — Aaron Brooks came up with an unexpected pitching gem against the torrid-hitting Nationals, throwing six innings of two-hit ball to help Baltimore end Washington’s fivegame winning streak. The Nationals were coming off a weekend sweep of Chicago Cubs and
had won 12 of 14 to take control of the NL wild-card race before getting upended by the neighboring, last-place Orioles. Brooks (4-7) came in with a 6.21 ERA and was facing a team averaging 9 1/2 runs over its last 11 games. The righthander allowed just four baserunners and struck out six, including four in a row bridging the first and second innings.
CUBS 5, METS 2 NEW YORK (AP) — Yu Darvish pitched eight masterful innings, Javier Báez homered and drove in three runs, and the Cubs topped the Mets in the opener of a pivotal three-game series in the NL wild-card race. Báez and Addison Russell each hit a two-run homer off Marcus Stroman (7-12). Darvish (5-6) allowed five hits, struck out seven and issued one walk — his first in six starts since his last one See MLB, Page A9
scholar-athlete of the year award after being named to the MW scholar-athlete list in each of her four years at Boise State. Ostrander was named MW Athlete of the Year for a conference-record third straight year on Aug. 15, and Tuesday’s honor gave the 2015 Kenai Central grad four awards for the outdoor track and field season. Ostrander is also a semifinalist for the Bowerman award, college track’s highest honor. Ostrander currently competes as a professional runner for Brooks Running out of Seattle, Washington, and is a member of the Brooks Beasts club. Ostrander is scheduled to run at the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar, Sept. 28 to Oct. 6.
Atlanta wins US Open Cup for 3rd soccer win By Paul Newberry AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA (AP) — They climbed atop podium in the center of the field, hoisted a trophy above their heads, and began bouncing up and down with feverish passion. For Atlanta United, celebrating never gets old — though it is becoming routine. Atlanta claimed its third title in less than nine months, holding off Minnesota United 2-1 in the final of the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday night. “It’s a good feeling,” goalkeeper Brad Guzan said. “Before the game, we talked again about being a winning club, winning trophies, being a big club. That’s what it’s about.” Atlanta United jumped out to a 2-0 lead just 16 minutes into the game as Pity Martinez scored a goal and set up an own-goal by Minnesota
with a nifty pass. In the end, the home team barely managed to hang on. Minnesota United scored in the opening minutes of the second half and really turned up the pressure when Leandro Gonzalez Pirez was sent off with a red card, forcing Atlanta to finish the game with 10 players. With the clock winding down, Michael Boxall had a chance to tie it but sent the ball over the crossbar with a shot from right in front. He collapsed to the turf, holding his hands over his face in disbelief. In a matchup of teams that entered Major League Soccer together as expansion franchises in 2017, Atlanta United added to its trophy haul. They captured the MLS Cup last December, and then added the Campeones Cup with a victory over Mexican champion Club América two weeks ago.
Osaka’s body language tells story of shaky US Open start By Howard Fendrich AP Tennis Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Naomi Osaka put her right hand in the shape of a gun and pointed two fingers at her temple. She had just dropped the second set, moments after wasting a match point, as her U.S. Open title defense got off to a shaky start Tuesday. Her body language told the story: the eye rolls, the kneeling at the baseline, the balled-up fists covering her face at a changeover, the racket resting atop her head. Back in Arthur Ashe Stadium, where she beat Serena Williams in last year’s chaotic final, the No. 1-seeded Osaka kept digging holes and kept climbing out of them,
eventually emerging with a 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2 victory over 84th-ranked Anna Blinkova of Russia in the first round. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this nervous in my life,” Osaka told the crowd during her post-match interview. “For me, I just came off really slow and I never really found my rhythm.” The 21-year-old from Japan wore a black sleeve over her left knee, which has been an issue recently. But it wasn’t so much her movement as her erratic strokes that presented problems for Osaka, who finished with 50 unforced errors, more than double Blinkova’s total of 22. During the professional era,
which began in 1968, only two U.S. Open women’s champions have lost in the first round the following year: It happened in 2005 to Svetlana Kuznetsova and again in 2017 to Angelique Kerber — who was beaten by none other than Osaka, ranked 45th at the time and yet to get past the third round at a major tournament. Osaka thought back to that match Tuesday. “I could kind of see how stressed out (Kerber) was and that was in my favor,” Osaka recalled. “I don’t want to give people that look.” This victory, difficult as it was, stretched Osaka’s winning streak in hard-court Grand Slam matches to 15, which includes her run to the titles at Flushing Meadows in
2018 and at the Australian Open in January. Those helped her become the first Japanese tennis player to be ranked No. 1, a spot she regained this month. Osaka has spoken rather openly about the struggles she’s had dealing with pressure and expectations this season. She said Tuesday that she hoped figuring out how to get past Blinkova — who is now 0-2 at the U.S. Open and 0-4 against top-10 opponents — would boost her moving forward. “It helps me a lot, because I learn from the tougher matches,” Osaka said. “It helps me be prepared and try to learn and adjust my game plan.” CANADA VS. CANADA
Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime are friends and countrymen — and destined to be perennial opponents at the U.S. Open, it seems. The two up-and-coming Canadians, young and talented and considered among the best players of tennis’ next generation, met in the first round at Flushing Meadows for the second year in a row. And it was Shapovalov who advanced for the second year in a row. On Tuesday, the flashy, lefthanded Shapovalov, who is 20 years old and ranked 33rd, put together a whopping 28-9 advantage in total winners on the way to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-4 victory against AugerAliassime, who is 19 and seeded 18th.

DIAMONDBACKS 3, GIANTS 2 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Mike Leake pitched into the eighth inning in his first win since joining Arizona in a trade. Ketel Marte homered in the fifth for Arizona, but came up limping as he ran the bases and left because of a cramp in his right hamstring. Marte’s single in the third gave him a 10-game hitting streak and career-best 21-game streak safely reaching base.
CARDINALS 6, BREWERS 3 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Yadier Molina homered twice and the NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals matched a season high with their sixth straight win in a rain-delayed game inside Miller Park.

Judge joined elite company on the first pitch he saw from Kikuchi, hitting a two-run homer off the batter’s eye in center field in the first inning. Judge reached the 100-homer mark in his 371st game. Only Ryan Howard (325) and Yankees teammate Gary Sanchez (355) got to 100 faster.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Aug. 28, the 240th day of 2019. There are 125 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 28, 1955, Emmett Till, a black teen-ager from Chicago, was abducted from his uncle’s home in Money, Mississippi, by two white men after he had supposedly whistled at a white woman; he was found brutally slain three days later. On this date: In 1916, Italy declared war on Germany during World War I. In 1944, during World War II, German forces in Toulon and Marseille (mahr-SAY’), France, surrendered to Allied troops. In 1963, more than 200,000 people listened as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In 1968, police and anti-war demonstrators clashed in the streets of Chicago as the Democratic National Convention nominated Hubert H. Humphrey for president. In 1987, a fire damaged the Arcadia, Fla., home of Ricky, Robert and Randy Ray, three hemophiliac brothers infected with AIDS whose courtordered school attendance had sparked a local uproar. Academy Awardwinning movie director John Huston died in Middletown, R.I., at age 81. In 1990, an F5 tornado struck the Chicago area, killing 29 people. In 1996, Democrats nominated President Bill Clinton for a second term at their national convention in Chicago. The troubled 15-year marriage of Britain’s Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially ended with the issuing of a divorce decree. In 2005, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin (NAY’-gin) ordered everyone in the city to evacuate after Hurricane Katrina grew to a monster storm. In 2008, surrounded by an enormous, adoring crowd at Invesco Field in Denver, Barack Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination, promising what he called a clean break from the “broken politics in Washington and the failed policies of George W. Bush.” In 2012, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney swept to the Republican presidential nomination at a storm-delayed national convention in Tampa, Florida. In 2013, a military jury sentenced Maj. Nidal Hasan to death for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood that claimed 13 lives. On the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial, President Barack Obama stood on the same steps as he challenged new generations to seize the cause of racial equality. In 2017, floodwaters reached the rooflines of single-story homes as Hurricane Harvey poured rain on the Houston area for a fourth consecutive day; thousands of people had been rescued from the flooding. Ten years ago: The Los Angeles County coroner’s office announced that Michael Jackson’s death was a homicide caused primarily by the powerful anesthetic propofol (PROH’-puh-fahl) and another sedative, lorazepam (lor-AZ’-uh-pam). Celebrity disc jockey Adam Goldstein, known as DJ AM, was found dead in his New York apartment; he was 36. Five years ago: Comedian Joan Rivers was rushed to New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital after she suffered cardiac arrest at a doctor’s office where she’d gone for a routine outpatient procedure (Rivers died a week later at age 81). Acknowledging he “didn’t get it right” with a twogame suspension for Ravens running back Ray Rice, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell (guh-DEHL’) announced tougher penalties for players accused of domestic violence, including six weeks for a first offense and at least a year for a second. Glenn Cornick, 67, the original bass player in the rock band Jethro Tull, died in Hilo, Hawaii. One year ago: A white former police officer, Roy Oliver, was convicted of murder for fatally shooting an unarmed black 15-year-old boy, Jordan Edwards, while firing into a car packed with teenagers in suburban Dallas; Oliver was sentenced the following day to 15 years in prison. Puerto Rico’s governor raised the official death toll from Hurricane Maria in the U.S. territory from 64 to 2,975, after an independent study found that the number of people who died in the aftermath of the 2017 storm had been severely undercounted. Mourners filed into an African American history museum in Detroit for a public viewing for the late Aretha Franklin, part of a week of commemorations for the soul legend.

The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.” -- Elie Wiesel (EL’-ee vee-ZEHL’), Romanian-born journalist-author.

decade, you are a big boy, and the decision whether to participate is strictly up to you. I know the offer is flattering, but it might be interesting to know what your religious adviser would have to say about this. Before proceeding, perhaps consider seeking advice from that person. DEAR ABBY: Six years ago, I retired to care for my wife of 34 years. She was on multiple meds and wheelchair-bound, suffering from high blood pressure, alcohol and nicotine addiction, chronic depression, morbid obesity, advancing kidney failure, severe arthritis and worsening dementia. Throughout the remainder of her difficult life, I was her only caregiver. Her son and daughter were “too busy” to help, although they live only a few minutes away. (Her “too busy” daughter didn’t even have a job.) During the final year of my wife’s struggle, not once did they visit her. After she died, they spread the word on social media that she died

because I didn’t take care of her. I don’t know if it was to deflect criticism from themselves or to assuage a guilty conscience (if they even have one). What kills me is they told that same lie to my grandchildren, and I can’t call and tell them the truth. My son-in-law threatened the kids that if they spoke to me, he would take away their phones. It has been a year and a half, and this mess still breaks my heart. Any suggestions? — UNHAPPY GRANDPA DEAR GRANDPA: Unless there is a chapter missing from your letter, what your children have done is not only inexplicable but also despicable. To alienate you from your grandchildren is heartless. However, what’s done is done. You know you did everything you possibly could for your late wife. Now go, live your life to the fullest and stop looking back because you richly deserve every GOOD thing life brings your way.
Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH If you don’t have a lot going on, you could get yourself into a lot of trouble. Go to the gym, or call a friend to go to a favorite spot. Keep a strong hold on your finances. They could go either way. You pulled the wild card in that area. Tonight: Use your imagination.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might feel as though you’d like to have an easy, lazy day; however, your unpredictable streak
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might want to get feedback from a loved one before you make a snap judgment. Knowing that you didn’t react to a key person’s spontaneity and willfulness will ensure that you and others remain relaxed. Tonight: Speak your mind.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH If you don’t stay centered, your emotional nature could cause you a problem. You might learn that a friend cannot be relied on. You might feel sad. This person has become more unpredictable. Tonight: Ask a friend to dinner.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You’ll take a risk if needed. A situation starts to irritate you because you cannot get a sense of where a specific issue is going. A child or new friend could prove fortunate for you. Tonight: Whatever you desire.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HH You could be involved in a
Cherries and pineapple make the cake! Dear Heloise: I’ve lost your cake recipe that had CHERRIES AND PINEAPPLE. My family loved it! Would you please reprint it? — Ginny in Spring Branch, Texas Ginny, I’d love to! Thanks for asking. You’ll need: 1 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple in heavy syrup 1 21-ounce can of cherry pie filling 1 package of yellow cake mix 1 3-ounce can of pecans (1 cup), chopped 1/2 cup of butter or margarine Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Spread pineapple with its syrup evenly in the pan. Spoon the pie filling evenly over the pineapple. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the mixture, then the chopped nuts over all. Thinly slice the chilled butter or margarine, then lay the slices evenly over the other ingredients.
Rubes | Leigh Rubin
HHHH You could be at the end of your line and concerned about all the pressure around you, especially from a partner over finances. Try to stay mellow by looking at different sides of the issue. Tonight: Dinner for two.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Zero in on what you want with enthusiasm and energy. Know that you have a strong likelihood of making this desire a reality. Clear out a problem by having an active discussion. You see possibilities arise out of the blue. Tonight: Hang with friends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might be reacting to others’ energy. You find that a situation around real estate or your domestic life is unpredictable. Maintain your sense of humor and flexibility. Tonight: Where your friends are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be quite involved in an impending change that involves work or a community commitment. You might recognize that this change could add more responsibilities to your plate. Tonight: All eyes turn to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You could be out of sorts and tired of the uproar around you. You need to go with the flow and trust that all will work out. Look at how you can update your communications in order to make them flow. Tonight: Choose your words with care.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to get past a problem but get caught in conversation after conversation. Several people seek you out; no matter what you want to accomplish, you might hit a roadblock. You could also avoid people and do what you want. Tonight: Make plans to visit a friend.

has a record of “bringing new life to mature basins, including Alaska’s Cook Inlet and the North Slope, and we have a clear understanding that an experienced local workforce is critical to success.” Larry Persily, a former federal coordinator for Alaska gas projects, said Hilcorp has made a mark by picking up projects others moved away from and “wringing more money out of them,” citing Cook Inlet as an example. But he noted it wasn’t one of the major energy companies buying the BP assets “because they tend not to buy declining assets.

from speaking at all,” Clarkson said in a statement. “In order to comply with the highest court’s ruling and the U.S. Constitution, the State has to determine that an employee must have freely and knowingly consented to have dues deducted from their paychecks.” Opponents to Janus have said that because public employees still benefit from union-negotiated contracts, they should contribute

Oil and Gas Association, said the purchase is a reflection of what happens in mature fields, like Prudhoe Bay and before this, Hilcorp buying platforms in Cook Inlet, some of which have been out there 60 years. “There’s only a finite amount of capital in the world and within oil and gas companies, so they have to do what they think is best to get a return for their shareholders and that’s what BP is doing and that’s what Hilcorp is doing,” she said. Hilcorp has had a presence on the Kenai Peninsula since 2011 and currently owns 16 of the 18 oil platforms in Cook Inlet. With the recent purchase of BP’s assets, local politicians and industry experts weighed in on the implications for the state. Rick Whitbeck, state director for energy workers’ advocacy group Power the Future, said that the sale is “a perfect example of market
economics at work.” “Hilcorp has had a strong track record of growth here in Alaska, and this is right in line with that,” Whitbeck said. “BP wanted out and Hilcorp was looking to expand, so it worked out for everybody involved.” Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, said that he is optimistic about what the sale means for the state. “The primary source of revenue for Alaska remains oil and gas production, so I thank BP for their investment over the years, but I’m excited to see how these developments will grow with Hilcorp,” Micciche said. Changes in corporate direction are not uncommon in the industry. Chevron left Cook Inlet, Shell left Alaska and Anadarko left the Gulf of Mexico and the Lower 48 before selling to another company, she said. “It’s just a reflection of how the industry works, and it’s a reflection
that nothing is guaranteed,” she said. “You know, it’s an ever changing global industry.” About 2.1 million barrels a day of North Slope oil flowed through the pipeline at its peak in the late ’80s; so far this year, the average is about 500,000 barrels a day. Analysts and observers Tuesday said they weren’t surprised by the announcement. Bruce Bullock, director of the Maguire Energy Institute at Southern Methodist University, said he sees “at least some mild upside.” He said Hilcorp will want to invest more money to keep the assets producing longer Michael Noel, an associate professor of economics at Texas Tech University, said it’s good to see another company excited about the profit opportunity in BP’s assets. But he said there’s also uncertainty, including around jobs and
the markets. “The ownership matters but the price of oil matters so much more,” he said. Justin Furnace, a vice president for Hilcorp Energy Co., said in an email to The Associated Press that plans for the BP workforce “will develop as we determine how we will integrate the acquisition into Hilcorp’s existing operations.” BP employs about 1,600 workers in Alaska. Under terms of the agreement, Hilcorp will pay $4 billion in the near-term and $1.6 billion later. Both companies expected the deal to close some time next year. Meg Baldino, a BP spokeswoman, said BP earlier announced $1.5 billion in divestments. — Associated Press reporter Mark Thiessen contributed from Anchorage.

to the union’s efforts. Rather than protecting free speech, critics say Janus decision and other “right-towork” laws are meant to undermine union’s collective bargaining power. According to Clarkson’s opinion, the state will need to change its payroll process by obtaining “clear and compelling evidence” that the employee has chosen to contribute to the union and has waived their right to free speech, according to a press release. What “clear and compelling evidence” looks like, has not yet been defined and will be determined by the Department of Administration, Clarkson told reporters.
Clarkson issued his opinion in response to a request from Gov. Mike Dunleavy regarding the state’s compliance with the Janus decision.
However, Clarkson said in his opinion that Walker’s administration didn’t go far enough in its compliance with Janus. Under the current system the process of obtaining consent from employees is managed by the union. “By ceding to the unions themselves the process of eliciting public employee’s consent,” Clarkson’s opinion said, “the State has no way of ascertaining that those consents are knowing, intelligent, and voluntary.” This fails, in Clarkson’s opinion, to meet the standards of obtaining “clear and compelling evidence,” of
consent as dictated by Janus. A representative from the Alaska division of the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest union organization, declined to comment on the Attorney General’s decision pending consultation with their lawyers. According to Nadine Lefebre, President of the Juneau Central Labor Council and a member of ASEA, said that there are roughly 1,500 ASEA members in Juneau. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 20% of Alaska’s 304,000 employed people are represented by a union, one of the highest percentages in the country.

Legally sound? Metcalf said that the current system of deductions had been found to be legal under the administration of Gov.
