NRA cancels meeting to focus on gun legislation ANCHORAGE — The National Rifle Association has cancelled a board meeting in Alaska’s largest city this week to focus on gun control related legislation in Washington. NRA s p o ke s ma n Andrew Arulanandam confirms in an email to The Associated Press the board meeting was “relocated due to the Second Amendment related business in Congress.” The House Judiciary Committee was meeting Tuesday to consider gun bills, including a “red flag” law and a ban on largecapacity magazines.
Starbucks clashes with Wasilla firm over trademark ANCHORAGE — A small Alaska apparel company is clashing with Starbucks over a trademark term the Seattle-based coffee giant says is too closely linked to its own branding. Starbucks wants the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to reject an application by Wasillabased Mountains & Mermaids, the Anchorage Daily News reported. The Alaska company late last year applied to trademark the term “Siren’s Brew” for its products. It has branded its apparel with the image of a siren or mermaid holding a cup of coffee, and recently began using the design on coffee. In February, Starbucks applied to trademark “Siren’s Blend” for its coffee products. The trademark office has re f u s e d St a r bu ck s application as of May, based on “a likelihood of confusion” with Siren’s Brew, Starbucks said in an August opposition filing. Monica Hamilton, who owns Mountains & Mermaids with her daughter, Sarah, said they were shocked to learn about Starbucks’ opposition to their trademark application. “There’s no brand confusion here at all,” she said. “We’re not interested in interfering with their business, nor what are we interested in them interfering with our business.” The Alaska business is an online retailer created See news, Page A2

Top teacher concerns: Contract, health care By Megan Pacer Homer News
Teachers, school staff and concerned community members flooded the Homer High School Mariner Theater with red on Monday as they attended a meeting of the school board for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. The school board holds one meeting in Homer and one meeting in Seward each year, but Homer area teachers and staff weren’t alone at this meeting. Several educators from the central Kenai Peninsula had ridden a bus down to Homer to also attend the meeting, where many of them addressed the board regarding their ongoing contract negotiations with the school district. They wore red, the color used nationally to show support for teachers. Many people who stepped up during the public comment periods urged the school board to “approve” or “ratify” a contract proposal the commenters said was before the board. However, there was no action

item on that meeting’s agenda having to do with the most recent contract proposal made by the associations representing teachers and support staff at the last negotiations meeting
on Sept. 5. The board did not have anything to approve or ratify. The school board can only approve a contract for teachers when a tentative agreement has been reached

between the district and the Kenai Peninsula Education Association and Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association. That tentative agreement is what goes to the school board for ratification. There is currently no tentative agreement between the district and the associations. The two sides are set to return to negotiations at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at Soldotna High School. The district’s cost analysis of the associations’ latest offer showed the cost of salary and heath insurance would require using the district’s entire unassigned general fund balance of $3.9 million, and require additional funding, the Peninsula Clarion reported. Director of Communications Pegge Erkeneff said in an email that this is “more than the school board authorized to reach agreement.” Saul Friedman, an Anchoragebased attorney working with the district bargaining team, told the association representatives during See concerns, Page A2

Northern Rockies Type 2 Team takes over Swan Lake Fire By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
The Northern Rockies Incident Management Team assumed command of the Swan Lake Fire as of 9 p.m. Monday night. The fire experienced another day of little activity Monday now that September has brought cloudy skies, cooler temperatures, higher humidity and some precipitation to the area. The fire continues to smolder in layers of deep duff, however, and Public Information Officer Andy Lyon with the Great Basin Incident Management Team
said on Monday that without “significant rainfall” there is a real potential for some areas to continue smoldering through the winter. The focus of the incident management team continues to be the perimeter of the fire closest to Cooper Landing. During the transition Monday, crews from the Northern Rockies team assessed the structure protection measures in place around Cooper Landing and began patrolling the southeastern and southwestern sides of the fire. Fire behavior Tuesday was similar to Monday, which allowed crews to further
strengthen existing containment lines while aerial resources remained available for water drops. Extra equipment and supplies no longer in use are now being backhauled. The fire is currently at 163,714 acres and is 37% contained, according to Tuesday’s update from the incident management team. The Northern Rockies Management Team consists of 430 personnel. Management of the fire has cost approximately $43.5 million to date, according See fire, Page A3
Community members will have a chance to offer public comments on the draft environmental impact statement for the Alaska Liquid Natural Gas Project — a planned 806-mile pipeline that would carry natural gas from the North Slope to a liquefaction plant and terminal in Nikiski. The meeting, which was announced in a July 26 Federal Regulatory Commission public notice, is at 5 p.m. tonight at the Nikiski Recreation Center. Staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will be onsite to listen to comments regarding the draft EIS statement, which was released by FERC June 26. The primary goal of the meeting is to have community members identify specific environmental issues and concerns they have with the draft EIS, which will be recorded and made part of the public record. For those who cannot attend the meeting, FERC encourages residents to file comments electronically. Comments can be filed using the eComment feature on www.ferc.gov. People may also submit comments through the mail by referencing the project number docket, (CP17-178000) and addressing the submission to Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington DC, 20426. Public comment period closes Oct. 3.
Community mourns Soldotna Mayor Nels Anderson By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
City of Soldotna Mayor Nels Anderson passed away Tuesday morning, according to a shared Facebook post from the mayor’s son, Nate Anderson. “Our dad, John Nels Anderson MD, “Doc”, Mayor Anderson passed to the other side this morning,” Nate Anderson wrote in his Facebook post. “I couldn’t be more proud to be his son. He went down fighting to the end. Love you dad.
Will never watch a Dodger Game, eat a bowl of chocolate chip mint ice cream, or back bounce Big Eddy without thinking of you. Till we meet again.” Soldotna City Manager Stephanie Queen said the city’s heart go out to Dr. Anderson’s family. “I would like to extend my deepest condolences,” Queen said. “Mayor Anderson was beloved in this community, and a true public servant. He worked tirelessly to improve the lives of his friends and neighbors,
and we are forever grateful.” Anderson was elected to serve as mayor in 2017. Anderson previously served as Soldotna’s mayor from 2013 to 2015. He also served on city council from 2009 to 2012 and on the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District’s Board of Education for about 15 years prior to that. Anderson worked as a doctor and helped deliver many babies in the central peninsula, including See mayor, Page A3

the Sept. 5 negotiation meeting that their proposal would require the spending of funds that the school board would have to approve. “Your proposal requires the use of both unassigned and committed fund balance,” he can be heard telling the associations in a Facebook live video of the meeting, posted on the KPEA Facebook page. “(The) decision to use both of those is solely within the province of the school board. This team does not have the ability or the authority to make that decision.” The school board did review the latest contract proposal from the associations during an executive session on Monday morning before the main meeting. During the main meeting, Board President Penny Vadla said the school board “provided direction to the administration at that time.” She declined to comment further after the meeting. Though the school board did not have a contract to approve at its meeting, it heard from myriad teachers, support staff, students and community members who urged the board to use whatever power it has to help settle on a fair contract for teachers. For the last several rounds of contract negotiations, the cost of health care has been the major sticking point. Several people commented during Monday’s board meeting that the current model for health care is not working for many teachers. Others said that health care costs more for employees in this school district than it does for

employees in the Mat-Su Valley or other comparable districts. A handful of commenters also said that either they or other teachers they know struggle to make ends meet because the employee contribution to their health care plan is so high. Teachers talked about fellow colleagues who work second and third jobs in order to have enough money for themselves and their families. During an update to the school board, Superintendent John O’Brien said that Assistant Superintendent Dave Jones has been working with the borough to negotiate with local hospitals on the discount rates it gives to the school district in order to save more money on that front. “Central Peninsula Hospital is agreeing to increase the provider or the physician discount from its current rate of 7% to 25%,” he told the board. CPH is also increasing its discount rate for the district from 25% to 30%. O’Brien said negotiations are still ongoing with South Peninsula Hospital, where the district receives “a much smaller discount.” “We are asking that administration to provide the exact same discount to our employees that Central Peninsula Hospital is providing,” he said. Also at the meeting, Superintendent John O’Brien apologized for a letter he sent out to parents that was intended to

Starbucks said employees use the word to refer to the business and its products. “For nearly half a century, Starbucks has invested in creating the association between a Siren and coffee,” the company said in an emailed statement. “The Siren has been integral to our logo since we were established in 1971, and is the face of the Starbucks brand to the world.” Eric Pelton, an attorney representing Mountains & Mermaids, said that whatever term Starbucks workers

ask them to start preparing in the event that the teachers strike. If a strike does happen, the associations have to give the school district 72 hours notice. All school functions and school-related events would cease to operate. A few people at the meeting commented that they were offended by the letter, saying it painted the teachers as an enemy and that is was disrespectful. “To me, tone matters,” said Homer resident Ginny Espenshade. “And if a tone of a communication to parents is not an indication of the good faith or lack thereof during negotiations, I don’t know what is.” O’Brien said that the intent of his letter, first and foremost, was to ask parents to prepare for a possible strike. He apologized to the representatives for KPEA and KPESA as well as to members of those bargaining teams. “Hindsight is 20/20,” he said. “Respect is an important thing and perhaps I should have used the term ‘union leadership’ only once, maybe not at all.” During their time to make comments, members of the school board said they respect and appreciate teachers. Several members of the board have had careers in teaching in this district and others also have children who attended or are attending schools in the district.

James ‘Jim’ Lange passed from this life and entered the presence of the Lord on August 19, 2019. Jim was born on October 20, 1934 in Martin, North Dakota to Herman and Martha Lange. He had a brother, Leo Lange, who was several years older- Jim always looked up to his brother. The family moved to Lodi, California when Jim was two years old. He grew up in Lodi where he attended grade school and high school. He always shared wonderful memories of growing up on a farm, playing outside, bike riding, and working at his brother’s restaurant when he got older. In October 1951 Jim enlisted in the Navy and served until October 1954. He worked as an aircraft mechanic aboard the aircraft carrier USS Philippine Sea. While on leave Jim met Mary Jo Griffith - they were married on September 26, 1953. Jim and Mary Jo (he lovingly referred to her as Jo) had two daughters; Cathy Doss (Dennis) and Nancy Logaburn (Greg). While still a young family and living in Carmichael, California, a neighbor invited them to church, where they gave their hearts to the Lord. Because of this invitation, Jim and Mary Jo have passed on a Godly heritage to their children, their grandchildren, and their greatgrandchildren. Jim retired from McClellan Air Force Base in 1987 where he was a supervisor in the Electrical department. They moved to Alaska in 1997, where they continued serving the Lord at their church, Kenai New Life Assembly of God. Jim enjoyed fishing, traveling, helping others, working in his garden, and visiting with family and friends. The thing he enjoyed most though, was eating delicious food with anyone and everyone! Jim had a work ethic that was unbelievable, along with his sense of humor, and he could make anyone laugh!!! His knowledge and willingness to help anyone with a project was one of his best attributes! His most important legacy though, is his love of the Lord - he will be missed by all! Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai assisted the family.

The peninsula’s only provider of public transportation is looking to the future — specifically the next five years. The Central Area Rural Transit System, also known as CARTS, recently completed its five-year transit service plan, which lays out the public transportation needs on the peninsula as well as ways that existing services can be improved. CARTS Executive Director Jennifer Beckmann and Board President Gary Katsion presented their plan on Tuesday to a transportation workgroup that has been developing a coordinated transit plan for the entire peninsula. The CARTS five-year plan was created with the help of a consultant team from AMMA Transit Planning, and over the last year CARTS conducted surveys of riders and stakeholders while holding several community meetings to get public feedback on the services CARTS already provides. Currently, CARTS provides 24-hour demand-responsive public transportation to the central peninsula Monday through Friday. Riders are able to schedule a pickup in advance and pay a fare to get to their destination by either calling 907-262-8900 or by buying a punchcard online
at ridecartsak.org. Passenger fares are $2.50 per zone traveled, and there are 13 zones that make up the CARTS service area from north Nikiski to Kasilof going south and from the west side of Kalifornsky Beach Road to Sterling going east. CARTS owns a fleet of vehicles and also contracts with local private transportation companies including Alaska Cab to supplement its services. Results from the survey showed that for about 80% of riders, CARTS is the only form of transportation available to them. About 53% said that they use CARTS to get to work, and about 66% of CARTS riders are employed while 14% are retired, 18% are disabled and about 11% are students. The biggest complaint from respondents was the lack of service on the weekend. Until 2017 CARTS did provide weekend service, but the nonprofit had to cut back when it stopped receiving funding from the Kenai Peninsula Borough and local municipalities. Currently CARTS receives less than 5% of its funding from local sources, while about 57% comes from the federal government, 23% comes from the state and 14% comes from passenger fares. The results of the study show that financial constraints are the biggest

limiting factor in CARTS expanding its services. Four scenarios are laid out at the end of the study, one that assumes the current reality of no local matching funds for their operating costs and three that lay out options for expansion if additional resources become available. The first scenario — which assumes no Central Peninsula match funding — shows a total projected operating cost of $653,138. With a goal of providing 22,200 trips in a year, that averages out to a cost of about $29.42 per trip. The first alternative scenario considers the possibility of expanding services to seven days a week, 18 hours a day, with Alaska Cab covering the remaining six hours each day. This alternative scenario also expands the service area to include the southern peninsula. In this scenario, CARTS operating budget is projected to increase to $1,128,961, but the trip goal nearly doubles to 43,900 and the cost CARTS would pay per trip goes down to about $25.71. The second alternative scenario looks at adding a single-direction checkpoint service on top of the demand-responsive transportation currently provided by CARTS. The checkpoint service would function similarly to a bus route, with a CARTS vehicle stopping at fixed locations at a given
time each day. The projected cost of this scenario is similar to the previous one at $1,129,188, with a goal of providing 52,600 rides at an average cost of $21.42 per trip. The final scenario would include a bi-directional checkpoint service and adds an additional vehicle to the fleet. This scenario has the lowest projected cost per trip at $20.14 with the goal of providing 71,000 trips. It would also be the most expensive, putting CARTS’ operating costs at about $1,430,006 — more than double their current operating costs.

Shedding some light on light bulbs
W
ith all due respect to Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, who called this topic a distraction from larger climate issues (which, maybe, it is), let’s talk for a moment about the lowly light bulb, which has turned to an unlikely political football in our climate and economic conversations. Where would we be without these bulbs? In the dark, obviously. Where would we be without the tremendous advances that have been made in light-bulb technology in recent years? We’d all be paying bigger electrical bills using bulbs with relatively short life spans and are also bad for the environment. So, why did the Trump administration roll back new efficiency standards that were scheduled to take place in January? The Department of Energy last week announced that it was overturning new regulations, passed in the waning days of the Obama administration, that would have instituted new energy-efficiency standards for bulbs such as threeway incandescent bulbs, candle-shaped chandelier bulbs and recessed reflector bulbs. Another rule change would have imposed new efficiency standards for pear-shaped bulbs. The new standards were enacted to promote even greater energy efficiency, which would cut demand and, consequently, reduce carbon emissions that are believed to contribute to climate change. A DOE spokesman said the new regulations would be deployed “only when economically justified,” and it was claimed that the new rules would increase the price of bulbs by about 300 percent. Suspending the rules would allow consumers, not the government, to choose how to light their homes and businesses, the DOE said. That’s also the claim of the light-bulb manufacturers, who oppose the new standards in part because the rules would threaten a business model based on planned obsolescence. But critics such as the Natural Resources Defense Council noted that this action “could cost the average U.S. household more than $100 per year, adding $14 billion to Americans’ annual energy bills as of 2025, and require at least 25 power plants’ worth of extra electricity annually.” It’s estimated the move will increase annual U.S. electrical use by about 80 billion kilowatt hours, as well as do nothing to remove the harmful impact the current bulbs have on the environment, since more energy would be needed to produce the additional energy the old bulbs require. According to CNBC, “The (new) standards applied to about half of the roughly 6 billion light bulbs used in the U.S, and would have prevented millions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere.” The Obama-era rule change was an extension of energy rules passed by the George W. Bush administration — back in the days when “energy independence” was on everyone’s mind — and it was part of an extraordinary evolution in lightbulb technology. The new rules would have further promoted the use of longer-lasting bulbs that use less energy and produce more light at a fraction of the cost … AND they help the environment. And that’s what we DON’T want? Why are we changing course on a process that is clearly working on several fronts and can improve even more? Last week’s decision is not a bright idea at all. —Yankton Daily Press & Dakotan (South Dakota), Sept. 9
letter to the editor
Will of people, law being ignored The authors of Alaska’s Senate Bill 121 of 1981 — which is legislation that created Alaska’s permanent fund dividend law that is current law in Alaska — have a lot in common with the founding fathers of the America’s Constitution and our Bill of Rights. None hold office today! And I believe they envisioned much of the challenges that these documents have endured. The original draft of Senate Bill 121 actually ordered the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation to transfer funds directly to the commissioner of the department of revenue. Committee notes suggest — and I can only presume the thought process of the legislators in 1981 was — that in doing so these dollars would not become political. In Alaska, the law of land is the permanent fund formula as laid out in statue. Selecting a dollar amount by flipping a coin or throwing a dart at a dartboard — which is what Alaska’s Legislature has done for the last three years — is nothing more than a violation of law. Leadership of the Legislature and a former governor have violated that law. What is the difference between an Alaska citizen ignoring laws and legislators ignoring laws like the permanent fund formula law that is in statute? Or the law requiring legislators to answer the call of the governor and meet in special session or be arrested by troopers? The Constitution and its Bill of Rights were written with vision that we the people hold the power over elected individuals “by voting.” It is our duty as citizens and should be considered honorable to cast a ballot for the individual that “we” see fit to up hold your beliefs. Can you look around for a moment today and see where elected individuals are ignoring the law or the will of the people? … Thought you could? Kelly Wolf Soldotna

Support farmers markets for better food, stronger communities
T
he Soldotna Wednesday Market with Alaska Farmers Market Association’s mission is to develop and promote Alaska’s agricultural, horticultural, and cottage industries, providing quality produce and products to the public. The mission of the Alaska Farmers Market Association is to support and promote vibrant and sustainable farmers markets throughout Alaska. Farmers markets have experienced a renaissance throughout the nation, and have begun to spring up all over Alaska. While our short growing season and cold climate offers many challenges to our farmers, farmers markets are thriving across Alaska. In 2005, the Division of Agriculture listed 13 markets throughout the state. In 2014, that number grew to 37, and in 2017, there were 41 — with more markets in planning stages. Farmers markets are good for farmers and good for the communities they serve. Farmers markets provide a place where farmers can reconnect with consumers directly and capture retail dollars for their fresh, high-quality products. Farmers markets are familyfriendly, community-building events that bring neighbors together, attract retail activity to surrounding businesses, create forums for civic education and involvement and provide
direct access to Alaska’s agricultural bounty. The Alaska Farmers Market Association with parent organization Cook Inletkeeper received a 2017 USDA FMPP Grant to promote connectivity and collaboration amongst Alaska’s farmers markets. The Soldotna Wednesday Market has received $1,150 from that grant to support our local market. With this funding our market invested in advertising in the newspaper. The Soldotna Wednesday Market looks forward to working together with the Alaska Farmers Market Association and the other markets around the state to grow and improve our local farmers markets. As a vibrant and integral piece of our local community and its economy, the Soldotna Wednesday Market looks to be a consistent voice at the council in support of farmers, cottage food producers and local crafters. Thank you for your supporting Alaska’s farmers markets and growers at the Soldotna Wednesday Market. Why is it important to support our local farmers markets? ■■ You create a sense of community through buying locally and cooking and eating locally grown food with friends and family. ■■ You build a healthier lifestyle
by buying, cooking and eating real food, rather than eating processed, commercially prepared foods. ■■ You create stronger social structures by cooking and eating with family and friends. ■■ You are promoting and protecting Alaska agriculture for our future. ■■ You are protecting Alaska’s precious agricultural lands from development. Why is it important to buy local food? ■■ The produce tastes better because of our cool climate! Our cool nights make the vegetables sweeter and more delicious than anything grown in hotter climates. ■■ The produce tastes better because it’s fresher! With vegetables grown just a few miles away, harvests can be much more recent than for produce shipped from Outside. ■■ Your produce will stay fresh much longer after you buy it, because it is so fresh to begin with. ■■ The transportation costs of buying local food are much lower than buying produce that has been shipped from the Lower 48. You’re conserving all kinds of energy by buying local food! ■■ You’re supporting local farmers and ensuring that farming and local food production will remain viable in Alaska.

Trump official queried on lands, Native Americans By Dan elliott Associated Press
DENVER — Skeptical Democrats questioned a Trump administration official Tuesday on whether he’s committed to preserving public lands and whether he respects Native Americans. William Perry Pendley, acting director of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, appeared before the House Natural Resources Committee in Washington to answer questions about the administration’s plans to move bureau headquarters from the District of Columbia to the West, closer to the 388,000 square miles the agency oversees. The toughest questions were about his attitude toward public lands and Native Americans. Rep. Joe Neguse, a Colorado Democrat, asked Pendley about a 2016 article he wrote saying the nation’s founders intended for the federal government to sell all its land. “I have never advocated the wholesale disposal or transfer of those lands,” Pendley said. “I support the president and (Interior Secretary David) Bernhardt in their crystal-clear opposition to the wholesale disposal or transfer of public lands.” Neguse asked if the word “wholesale” was a loophole that would allow the administration to sell or transfer land. Pendley replied that he was referring to Congress’ authority to mandate transfers. “There may be case-specific circumstances where we do transfer or dispose, but Congress is the boss,”
Pendley said. Rep. Deb Haaland, a New Mexico Democrat and a citizen of the Laguna Pueblo, brought up allegations that in a 2009 meeting of Republicans, Pendley mocked Native Americans for wanting to protect land they consider holy. She said Pendley reportedly used his fingers to indicate quotation marks around the word “holy.” She asked Pendley if that was appropriate for an employee of the Bureau of Land Management, which protects culturally important areas. “I was not speaking as a member of the BLM. I was speaking as a private attorney representing private clients,” Pendley said. “So you were able to just forget what you did back then, and now that you’re working for BLM, everything’s OK?” Haaland shot back. Pendley answered that the American people are now his clients, and “I’m a zealous advocate for my client.” He said he was happy to now work with Native Americans, particularly on energy development. Before he joined the Bureau of Land Management, Pendley represented an oil company in a legal dispute over proposed oil and gas drilling on Montana land considered sacred by the Blackfoot tribes of the U.S. and Canada and said the tribes’ concerns were driven by “religious myth.” “There’s absolutely nothing there,” Pendley told an Associated Press reporter last year. “The tribe is simply saying ‘It’s part of our myth. The whole area is part of our myth.’” Bernhardt named Pendley the acting head of the BLM in July. The
agency oversees public land — 99% of it in 12 Western states — and balances competing demands from oil and gas drilling, mining, ranching, outdoor recreation and environmental protection. Pendley is a longtime advocate for ranchers and others in disputes with the federal government over grazing and other uses of public lands. Environmental groups called his appointment alarming, but some Western ranchers were pleased, saying it was a sign the Trump administration was pushing to open public lands to all uses, including grazing and mining. One of Pendley’s first duties will be overseeing the administration’s plan to move the bureau’s headquarters to Grand Junction, in western Colorado, and disperse about 300 Washingtonbased employees across the West. Most of the bureau’s 10,000 employees are already in Western field offices, but Pendley repeated the administration’s argument that moving most of the Washington staff to the West would lead to better, faster decisions. When Democrat Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s delegate to Congress, asked whether moving so many employees West would leave a leadership vacuum in Washington, Pendley replied, “I’ll be here,” along with budget and policy officials. Interior Department spokesman Russell Newell said later that Pendley would remain in Washington in his permanent role as deputy director for policy and programs. Newell said the next permanent director would be based in Grand Junction.

Hawkish Bolton, dissenter on foreign policy, ousted By Zeke Miller and Deb Riechmann Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Tuesday abruptly forced out John Bolton, his hawkish national security adviser with whom he had strong disagreements on Iran, Afghanistan and a cascade of other global challenges. The sudden shake-up marked the latest departure of a prominent voice of dissent from the president’s
inner circle, as Trump has grown less accepting of advice contrary to his instincts. It also comes at a trying moment for Trump on the world stage, weeks ahead of the United Nations General Assembly and as the president faces pressing decisions on difficult foreign policy issues. Tensions between Bolton, Trump’s third national security adviser, and other officials have flared in recent months over influence in the president’s orbit and how to
manage his desire to negotiate with some of the world’s most unsavory actors. Since joining the administration in the spring of last year, Bolton has espoused skepticism about the president’s whirlwind rapprochement with North Korea, and recently has become a vocal internal critic of potential talks between Trump and leaders of Iran and Afghanistan’s Taliban. Bolton also broke with Trump with his vocal condemnation of Russia’s
global aggressions, and last year he masterminded a quiet campaign inside the administration and with allies abroad to persuade Trump to keep U.S. forces in Syria to counter the remnants of the Islamic State and Iranian influence in the region. Bolton’s maneuvering at the time contrasted with former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’ decision to instead resign over Trump’s December withdrawal announcement, which has been effectively reversed.
On Twitter Tuesday, Trump and Bolton offered opposing accounts on the adviser’s less-than-friendly departure, final shots for what had been a fractious relationship almost from the start. Trump tweeted that he told Bolton Monday night his services were no longer needed at the White House and Bolton submitted his resignation Tuesday morning. Bolton responded in a tweet of his own that he offered to resign Monday
“and President Trump said, ‘Let’s talk about it tomorrow.’” Trump explained that he had “disagreed strongly” with many of Bolton’s suggestions as national security adviser, “as did others in the administration.” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who had been traveling with Trump Monday, said reports of Bolton’s opposition to a nowscrapped weekend meeting with the Taliban at Camp David were a “bridge too far” for Trump.
Desperation mounts as shelters turn evacuees away By DÁnica Coto Associated Press
NASSAU, Bahamas — Desperation mounted in the Bahamas on Tuesday as hurricane survivors arriving in the capital by boat and plane were turned away from overflowing shelters. As government officials gave assurances at a news conference that more shelters would be opened as needed, Julie Green and her family gathered outside the headquarters of the island’s emergency management agency, seeking help. “We need a shelter desperately,” the 35-year-old former waitress from Great Abaco said as she cradled one of her 7-month-old twins on her hip, his little face furrowed. Nearby, her husband held the other twin boy as their four other children wandered listlessly nearby. One kept crying despite receiving comforting hugs. Hu r r i c a n e Dorian devastated the Abaco and Grand Bahama islands in
the northern part of the archipelago a week ago, leaving at least 50 dead, with the toll certain to rise as the search for bodies goes on. Nearly 5,000 people have arrived in Nassau by plane and by boat, and many were struggling to start new lives, unclear of how or where to begin. More than 2,000 of them were staying in shelters, according to government figures. Green said that shelter officials told her they couldn’t accept such young children, and that the family has slept in the home of a different person every night since arriving Friday in New Providence, the island where Nassau is situated. “We’re just exhausted,” she said. “We’re just walking up and down, asking people if they know where we can stay.” Erick Noel, a 37-year-old landscaper from Abaco with a wife and four children, found himself in the same situation. They will have to leave a friend’s house by Wednesday and had not yet

found a shelter where they could stay. “They are full, full, full,” he said. “I keep looking for a place to go.” He said he found one small home for his family in Nassau but could not afford the $900 monthly rent. Undeterred, Noel said he would keep searching. Meanwhile, government officials said they were helping all evacuees and

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Federal authorities said Tuesday they have arrested two former officials of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the former president of a major disaster relief contractor, accusing them of bribery and fraud in the efforts to restore electricity to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Puerto Rico said that the thenpresident of Cobra Acquisitions LLC, Donald Keith Ellison, gave FEMA’s deputy regional director airline flights, hotel accommodations, personal security services and the use of a credit card. In return, Ahsha Nateef Tribble “used any opportunity she had to benefit Cobra,” said U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodríguez, including accelerating payments to the company and pressuring local power authority officials to award it contracts. — Associated Press
alone will need food, water and temporary housing. Getting back to Abaco is the dream of Betty Edmond, a 43-year-old cook who picked at some fries with her son and husband in a restaurant at a Nassau hotel, where her nephew is paying for their stay. They arrived in Nassau on Saturday night after a six-hour boat trip from Abaco and plan to fly to
Florida on Wednesday, thanks to plane tickets bought by friends who will provide them a temporary home until they can find jobs. But the goal is to return, Edmond said. “Home will always be home,” she said. “Every day you wish you could go back.” “You try to keep your hopes up, but …,” she added, her voice trailing off as she shook her head.
White House disputes accounts of Russian CIA informant Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration Tuesday disputed reports of a Russian official who was recruited as a spy for the CIA and then evacuated to the United States after revealing information about the Kremlin’s interference in the 2016 election. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley and the CIA challenged reports that appeared in The New York Times, CNN and elsewhere about a Russian official with high-level access who provided the U.S. with valuable intelligence for years until he was abruptly pulled from the country. “Suffice it to say that the reporting there is factually wrong,” Pompeo
said Tuesday, without specifying exactly what he was disputing. Pompeo was head of the CIA at the start of the Trump administration, soon after the spy reportedly was brought to the U.S. The CIA singled out CNN in a statement that disputed the network’s reporting about what prompted the evacuation. CNN cited an unnamed source as telling them that the informant was removed in part because of concerns about the Trump administration’s mishandling of classified information and the possibility that the Russian official could be exposed. “CNN’s narrative that the Central Intelligence Agency makes life-or-death decisions based on anything other than objective analysis and sound collection is simply false,”
said CIA Director of Public Affairs Brittany Bramell. “Misguided speculation that the president’s handling of our nation’s most sensitive intelligence, which he has access to each and every day, drove an alleged exfiltration operation is inaccurate.” Gidley also singled out the CNN report as “so wrong” and slammed an NBC report that purported to say where the spy lived. “For the media, the hypocrisy they have is so egregious to come out and try and say that this president is putting lives in danger with the way he handles information, classified or not,” he said on Fox News. “When they are the ones that actually go to this person’s house with a video camera, revealing where this person lives, potentially their identity and
that of their family.” The reporting, he added, is “dangerous” and “putting lives at risk.” The Times said the official was recruited decades ago, advanced through the ranks of the government and eventually held an
influential position and was able to confirm that President Vladimir Putin personally ordered and orchestrated the campaign to influence the American political campaign to favor Trump. The paper said the official was one of the CIA’s “most
important — and highly protected — assets” until the end of the Obama administration when the Americans began to worry about his safety because news media coverage of the election interference risked exposing him to the Kremlin.

Clam digging with Leatha Clam Gulch 1972 or ’73
M
y other first friend in Alaska when I first got to Alaska was Leatha Earll. She is the gal who shared everything she baked with me and the kids. I will never forget the homemade breads, cookies and cakes and once in a while a pie! She taught me a lot about sharing what little you have with someone else who had very little also. Her generosity was so much appreciated. We sewed for our kids and
made welding shirts and hats for our husbands. At little background here. I was married to Richard in 1969 — he had three cute little girls and I had two cute little girls and a handsome son, David. All were about the same age. He was sorta the king, as the girls relied on him to “fix” things — bikes mostly! But in turn they had to make his bed or clean his room. So at that time our family consisted of five girls and a boy. When we went anywhere we went as a “herd” to quote my Dad. We

marks on the padded dash from the little kids sitting on our laps though! A rough patch in the dirt road or a quick stop put the little ones right up against the dash, so they survived “by the skin of their teeth!” When it came time for the clam tides and clam digging, we would load up our families and off we go to Clam Gulch. Most of the time during the clam tides it was sunny and warm but once in a while the cold wind blowing off the water and down the beach was bone chilling.
We would dig clams until our fingers were frozen inside our mittens. We would just clean off the sand and the mud and stick them in our pockets until they warmed up. Usually we worked in groups of twos — the digger with the shovel and the kid that lay down in the sand-mud and stuck their hands in the clam hole to pull out their prize. In the early ’70s the clams were very large and very plentiful. Our limit was 60 per clam license. Digging usually See annie, Page A7
Is there anything more satisfying out on the trail than meat stew?
By Teri Robl For the Homer News
Happy September! Thank goodness the evenings are cooler and the sun actually sets, providing dreamy darkness for much needed restorative slumber after those busy summer days that never seem to end. There’s so much to do and that needs getting done, needs time and attention before the long Alaska winter descends upon us. Don’t forget we needed to find time for a little fun as well. What a warm and dry August it was. New acquisitions of two fans, an air conditioner and more summer clothes take up space in our already too-full house. What is with this continuing heat? Good grief, usually by the time I turn the calendar over to August I can pretty much guess the rain will start and warmer temperatures will fly south with the cranes. Not this year. I am done spending countless evenings and weekend days in the raspberry patch other than the occasional visit to pick a few super dark and sweet berries to eat while on my way to the garden to unearth or cut something fresh to be added to the dinner menu. I have never picked so many beautiful raspberries as I have this year — so many in fact the Other Fisherman felt his assistance was needed or he would never get to enjoy his dinner before 9 p.m. I enjoyed escaping to the berry patch and hiding out for hours on end. It was the perfect excuse to not clean house, do up the dirty dishes or any other unpleasant chore. Better than that though, time spent outdoors with the raspberries gave me lots of time to let my mind wander like the big fluffy clouds floating overhead and appreciate the beauty of Alaska. This time of year, the Other Fisherman is getting ready to make his annual trip to the secret hunting grounds. As he is in charge of planning meals for camp, I can’t resist lending a hand and offering to prepare a few special dinner dishes each year. It is the least I can do to let him know how much I love having a freezer full of moose meat to cook with all year. Sunday night I was looking forward to spending time indoors chopping, stirring and seasoning my way through the evening
Beef Stew with Cheesy Fried Grits can be made with beef or moose meat and makes a good camp meal for hunters in the field.
of a busy weekend, and it was finally raining. The last request was for old-fashioned moose stew, something I’ve made many times. I wanted to kick it up a notch, so I sat down at the counter with my laptop and glass of wine and started perusing recipes. I came across my old friend Emeril Lagasse’s recipe for beef stew and thought it sounded delicious. I was contemplating making boeuf bourginon rather than stew, and his recipe seemed to vaguely combine a bit of the two preparations. I loved the idea of added mushrooms and red wine. It’s not traditional beef stew, and it turned out delicious. I added our homegrown potatoes and carrots to tender moose meat for this recipe. The grits are just fun and something different. You can substitute polenta for the grits or make that first batch of creamy mashed potatoes with new potatoes from your garden.
This recipe is better reheated and served the next day. Beef Stew with Cheesy Fried Grits This hearty dish is great during the winter months. Prep Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 2 1⁄2 to 3 hours Yield: 6 servings 2 pounds boneless beef chuck, or tender cut of moose, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 tablespoon Emeril’s Original Essence 1 ⁄2 cup all-purpose flour 1 ⁄2 cup vegetable oil plus more for additional browning 2 cups chopped yellow onions 2 cups carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 ⁄2 turnip, chopped 3 ⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped garlic 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves 2 sprigs fresh thyme 1 can diced tomatoes and their liquid 16 ounces button mushrooms, wiped clean and quartered 2 cups dry red wine 3 cups beef stock 1-pound potatoes, like Yukon gold or russets, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes 1 cup fresh or frozen green peas 1 ⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley Fresh chives, garnish Chopped chives, garnish

salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook until brown, about 2 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, thyme, and tomatoes, and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Add the stock and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very tender, 1 1⁄2 to 2 hours. Add the peas to the stew during the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaves and thyme stems. Add the parsley and stir to combine. Arrange the fried grit squares in shallow bowls and ladle the stew over the grits. Garnish with chopped chives and fresh chive stems.
I am happy to say so long to summer for a while as I wave goodbye and wish good luck to the hunters in our family, as this means it’s the beginning of fall and life can slow down a bit. I think? I won’t pack the fans or my shorts away yet, just in case.
Freeze, can, pickle, dry? Ways
to preserve summer produce By Katie Workman Associated Press
In the last warm weeks of summer, it’s hard to imagine that today’s tomatoes, corn, peaches and other late-summer bounty will soon be just memories. But wait, they don’t have to be. With a bit of forethought, and a bit of time, we can safeguard some of this magnificent produce and draw upon it all winter long. When you preserve food, you are using techniques to stop its natural decomposition, killing or preventing the growth of microbes. It’s important to follow experts’ directions closely for safety and food quality. Four basic ways to preserve latesummer fruits and vegetables:
Freezing The simplest and most accessible way to preserve all kinds of produce quickly. The two most critical things about freezing produce are to freeze it as quickly as possible, and to do so in freezegrade bags and containers. Chill food before freezing it, so it will freeze faster, says Eugenia Bone, author of books including “Microbia” (Rodale, 2018), “The Kitchen Ecosystem” (Clarkson Potter, 2014) and the James Beardnominated “Well Preserved” (Clarkson Potter, 2009). “The slower the freezing process, the larger the ice crystals, which can cause the cell walls of the produce to rupture: This is what makes defrosted foods mushy,” she says. To prevent freezer burn, which
can affect the taste and texture of food, use plastic bags, wraps or containers designed specifically for the freezer. If you use a container, leave the right amount of headspace, since food will expand when it becomes frozen. Too much extra space will result in trapped air. Freezer-proof, zipper-top bags are terrific since you can label them easily, squeeze out excess air and freeze them flat on a tray. Once frozen, they can be stacked vertically or horizontally to save space — and they can be washed and reused. Consider blanching fruits and vegetables — putting them in boiling water and then shocking them in a bowl of ice water — before you freeze them, to enhance their quality after they thaw. Fruits with

skins can be blanched, pitted and peeled before freezing so they are ready to use once defrosted. To avoid clumping later, spread the fruit out on a tray or cookie sheet and then place it in the freezer. When it is frozen, transfer it to freezer-proof containers or bags. A note on tomatoes: If you
freeze them whole, the skins will slip off when they thaw, as if you had blanched and peeled them. Or try roasting them first, and then freezing them. Most vegetables and pretty much all fruit will have a softer texture when thawed, depending See preserve, Page A7

The only pasta salad recipe you’ll ever need By Genevieve Ko Los Angeles Times
Onions may seem a perennial ingredient since they’re available all year, but red onions taste especially fresh and crisp now. We’re nearing the end of the harvest, but these purple bulbs are still coming straight out of the ground and into our kitchens at the end of summer. That means they don’t have the harsh bite, dry petals or papery skins that older onions develop. To highlight red onions’ mild sweetness and crunch, I toss thin slivers raw into pasta salad. They turn it into a dish I actually like. Normally, I have a love-hate relationship with pasta salad. It’s everything I need — fast, easy, make-ahead, portable, big batch — and not what I want. At least not in its usual form. The cold noodles are too hard or too soft, too bland or too gloppy.

lasted about two hours and we were ready to carry our buckets up the beach, up the long, long steep hill to our pickups and cars. That climb up the steep hill was the most dreaded of the day! Then Leatha and her husband Gene bought a four-wheel-drive pickup with the big cab-overcamper that could be driven down on the beach so the littlest of the kids could get warm inside the camper. After planning a clam digging trip for about a week, one not-sowarm early morning, Leatha and I, her four kids and my six kids went clam digging. Gene and Richard were working and clam season does not wait. We were tough, strong and thought we had the ability to do most anything. AND so we did! We accomplished our dreams most of the time. It took a lot of planning the night before — making sure every kid had a warm coat, warm hat, two or three pair of warm mittens and rubber boots with two or three pair of spare socks. We also made cookies and packed peanut butter and jelly and three loaves of bread. We zinged down to Clam Gulch with 10 kids in the camper! Kids from 13 years down to 3 years were singing, playing or sleeping in the back in the camper, Leatha driving and me jabbering. We were catching up on the latest gossip. We were about as happy as we could be. (Happy as a clam?) We planned what we were going to do with the clams once we got them and how our husbands would be so proud of us. Most of the time during clam tides the husbands were on the platforms or working many, many hours a day in the oil fields. It was up to us
30 minutes. Serves 6 to 8. This salad is delicious with any pork or beef jerky, especially Asian-flavored varieties. For the tastiest version, seek out freshly made, deep-fried pork jerky at your local Thai market. While you’re there, get fresh Thai lime leaves. They deliver an herbaceous bite without the risk of wilting like most leafy herbs. If you can’t find them, substitute the freshly grated zest of a lime or two very thinly sliced fresh bay leaves. Kosher salt
1 pound fusilli or other short pasta 3 Thai bird or other small hot chiles, seeded, if desired, and minced 5 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 3 tablespoons fish sauce 1 1⁄2 teaspoons granulated sugar 5 tablespoons everyday extravirgin olive oil 12 ounces pork jerky, preferably Thai, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 red onion, quartered and thinly sliced 1/2 small red cabbage, diced 8 fresh Thai lime leaves, veins removed and very thinly sliced 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package’s directions. 2. While the pasta cooks, whisk the chiles, vinegar, fish sauce, sugar and olive oil in a large bowl. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water until just warm. Shake dry in the colander, then immediately transfer to the sauce. Toss until well-coated. 3. Add the pork, onion, cabbage and lime leaves, mix well and serve.
if we wanted clams to can or freeze for the rest of the year. Some of the time the whole families would go to Clam Gulch on a Sunday morning and spend the day “catching clams.” That was fun too! Leatha carefully drove down the steep hill onto the clam beach. The high tides the week before had left a “shelf.” She slowly dropped off the shelf onto the beach and drove to a spot and parked. Everyone got dressed in boots and coats, hats and gloves and piled out of the camper, bigger kids in charge of littler kids. Leatha, the older kids and I had clam shovels and off we marched down to the shoreline to look for “dimples” in the sand. Forever etched in my mind is little kids of various sizes with their little butts stuck in the air looking for dimples! They were good at it!! This particular day we had our limit in about two hours and were more than ready to get the cold, wet, muddy, sandy kids back in the camper. They too, were ready to get their sand-caked coats and boots off, and we warned them to brush sand off before they got in the camper. With everyone in and settled, we pushed the clamfilled buckets in the aisle. I got in to make peanut butter and “jolly” sandwiches. Before Leatha closed the camper door and started the pickup, told everyone to hold on “‘cause she might have to hit the shelf a little hard” to get up and over the shelf and then up the steep sand-covered trail to the top. Not too many were listening to her as the thought of a peanut butter and “jolly” sandwich danced around in their minds. I opened the bread wrapper and had two or three sandwiches made and handed out, when Leatha “wound-up” the pickup to get over the shelf — she hit the shelf straight on — bounced up over the shelf and roared up the hill in four-wheel drive like a pro at a NASCAR race track!
The problem with that was all the kids and I in the camper were bouncing around in and out of the beds, hanging onto anything that we could hang onto, including our peanut butter and jolly sandwiches. The clams bounced and jumped out of the buckets, a bucket turned over, the peanut butter and jelly and the open loaf of bread ended up on the floor in the sandy muck. The clams and I ended up cattywampus wedged up against the door on the floor. Clams, muddy inlet water, sand and gray mud splattered everywhere! In our hair, on the ceiling, on the beds and on every piece of clothing in the camper! It happened so fast that we were still sitting in a shocked position when Leatha pulled the truck up to the top of the hill, stopped and got out to get her a peanut butter sandwich and let me get in the front seat with her. When she opened the door to the camper, clams and muddy water went pouring out and kids were either screaming, crying or laughing, mostly because their sandwich had sand in it! I uncurled from my wedged position, crawled out of the camper, looked at Leatha, who had an extremely shocked look on her face and we started to laugh! We laughed and laughed — the kids laughed — then demanded another sandwich without sand in it. Leatha told me she was not too sure I should get in front with her because I was dripping from the muddy clam water and sand in my hair! We got clams back in the buckets, kids back in the beds after scraping off sand and mud from hair, clothes, blankets and bed. We straightened the clam buckets and hung up the coats and pushed the boots back under the beds. “Everyone ready?” asked Leatha, “Sure — can I have another sandwich?” Good thing we brought three
Here, they’re just right. When tossed warm with a Thai-inspired fish sauce vinaigrette, the pasta stays tender and soaks up the sauce’s spicy, savory tang. Red onion brightens the mix while pork jerky, a snack that is quickly becoming a pantry staple, adds heft and saves you the hassle of cooking meat. Crinkles of red cabbage take this dish into September and beyond and turn this into a hearty yet light one-dish meal. Thai pork jerky pasta sala

on how cold your freezer is. The closer to 0 degrees Fahrenheit it is, the better your frozen product will be and the longer it will keep. So plan to use vegetables in cooked preparations. Frozen fruit should be used either in its frozen state in smoothies and icy desserts, or, if you are thawing it, in a pie, crumble or other baked dessert. Late-summer vegetables to freeze: beans (string, pole, green, yellow, wax), broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, eggplant, herbs, okra, tomatoes, zucchini. Late-summer fruit to freeze: apples, berries, cherries, figs, peaches and nectarines, plums.
Canning There are two main ways to can produce: boiling water bath and pressure canning. The water bath method involves packing glass canning jars with food, leaving adequate headroom, and heating the jars in a pot of boiling water for a prescribed amount of time. The heat drives any air from the jar, sterilizing the food and creating a vacuum that
causes the rubber flange on the lid to seal. This method works best with naturally acidic foods like fruits, and alkaline foods that have been acidified, like pickles. Low-acid foods like vegetables and mushrooms cannot be canned using this method unless acidified. The pressure canning method requires a pressure canner (not a pressure cooker), and involves pressurized steam heat, which can reach a higher temperature than boiling. At these temperatures, alkaline foods can be safely canned without acidification. Pressure canners should be purchased based on the type of stove you have and the amount of food you plan to can. Bone’s book “The Kitchen Ecosystem”, for instance, has advice on how to choose a pressure canner. Similar to water-bath canning, the heat pushes air out of the food and jars, sterilizing both and creating a vacuum seal. It is critical to follow directions for each canning method, and for each type of produce you want to preserve. Whichever method you use, always test the seal. “The best way to test your
seal,” says Bone, “is to wait until the jar has cooled totally. Then remove the band and see if you can lift the jar by the rim of the lid. If you don’t spill the contents of your jar all over the counter, then your seals are good.” Improper canning can result in the growth of harmful spoilers, so find a reliable source to follow. Bone recommends the National Center for Home Preservation website . Late-summer, high-acid foods for boiling water bath canning: apples, berries, cherries, figs, peaches, pears, plums, tomatoes (with additional acidification). Late-summer, low-acid foods for pressure canning: beans (string, pole, green, yellow, wax), carrots, corn, okra, bell peppers.
Pickling There are many methods. You can prepare fermented pickles, which use salt or salt brine, and quick pickles, which use vinegar. Pickling acidifies the vegetables so they can be safely waterbath canned. You can pickle whole vegetables, like green beans or okra, or you can make chutney or relishes with chopped produce plus some seasonings. Most of the techniques and rules of

Use as much fish as you desire. I used one cups of chunked salmon. 1 cup of chunked halibut 1 cup of either cooked salad shrimp or larger shrimp cut in half Imitation crab 1 cup or more Fold into mixture. You may have to add more dressing Place in large serving bowl and garnish with sliced egg and thinly sliced lemon twists. Cover and chill at least 6 to 8 hours.
Make Ahead: The pasta salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days. Bring to room temperature to serve.
ANNIE B’S CLAM CHOWDER 1 pint of frozen clam pieces, partially thawed. Grind with medium blade on grinder. Then grind one peeled potato to clean the grinder and pour in a small amount of warm water to rinse out. In a large glass pot or Instansa-pot or Crock-Pot, put sautéed: 1 large onion, diced 1 ⁄2 cup celery, sliced 1 ⁄4 diced red or green bell pepper, optional 2 small carrots, sliced thin 4 medium potatoes diced in 1⁄2 inch cubes Sautéed in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Place in pot and add: 1 can of chicken broth and bring to boil with the ground clams Simmer on very low heat for about 1⁄2 hour or more. Add: 1 quart of milk 1 can evaporated milk A pinch of garlic salt, basil, parsley and cayenne Let simmer until hot and add: 2 tablespoons cornstarch to 1⁄4 cup milk — stream slowly into the hot soup and stir until thick. Ladle into soup bowls and top with a pat of butter, sprinkle of black pepper and parsley. Grilled cheese sandwiches or crackers and butter are excellent for this tasty soup.
FAST TRACK CLAM OR OYSTER CHOWDER 1 cup chopped onion 1 ⁄2 cup celery sliced Sauté in butter until tender soft Add 2 cans of cream of potato soup, undiluted 1 1⁄2 cans of evaporated milk 3 cans of minced clams in liquid or oysters in liquid 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 ⁄4 teaspoon thyme and black pepper Heat very slowly — stir often until hot enough to serve in deep bowls with a pat of butter floating on top. Pass the oyster crackers. Diced bacon is good on top also.
SEAFOOD MACARONI SALAD This is a very good picnic salad. Any combination of fish along with shrimp and crab, use your imagination Boil two eggs — cool and peel. Set aside. Place in large mixing bowl:
regular canning apply. There are some pickling methods that don’t involve canning, like refrigerator pickles. These don’t have the shelf life of processed pickles, and must be kept in the fridge, but they will extend the life of the produce somewhat. Refrigerator pickles offer a fresh flavor and usually a crisp texture. Late-summer foods to pickle: apples, Brussels sprouts, carrots, corn, cucumbers, eggplants, green tomatoes, hot chili peppers, onions, pears,
plums, watermelon rind.
Drying/dehydrating Whatever food you are drying should be just ready to eat, not overripe or underripe, and without bruises or dings. In some cases, produce to be dried should be pretreated — either blanched, or dipped in solutions to retain color and texture. Again, find specific directions for each food to ensure quality and safety. Drying methods include air drying, oven drying and using a dehydrator. A
dehydrator is the most reliable. If you think you will be drying foods regularly, invest in an electric dehydrator. Bone recommends one with an enclosed thermostat which ranges from 85 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, a fan or blower to circulate air, and trays made of plastic. Fruit can be made into fruit leather. Late-summer produce to dry/dehydrate: apples, cherries, corn, figs, grapes, hot and sweet peppers, mushrooms, okra, peaches, pears, plums, shell beans, smaller tomatoes.

Anchorage School District backs swimmer By The Associated Press The Anchorage School District says it won’t tolerate discrimination — including that based on body shape — after a high school swimmer was disqualified for wearing a swimsuit that exposed too much of her buttocks. The Anchorage Daily News
reports the school district said in a written statement that the decision to single out the girl for a uniform violation was “heavy-handed and unnecessary.” The district says the girl was targeted based solely on how a standard school-issued uniform happened to fit the shape of her body.
According to the Anchorage Daily News, the Alaska School Activities Association announced Tuesday night that it would reverse the disqualification. The Anchorage School District also is seeking to decertify the official who disqualified the girl. KTUU-television reports a
competing coach, Lauren Langford of West High School, says the girl was the only swimmer disqualified even though her teammates wore similar suits. The swimmer was disqualified from a race because a judge ruled that her school-issued swimsuit did not meet modesty requirements. The National Federation of State
High School Associations in August said both male and female athletes could be disqualified if their swimsuits did not cover the buttocks. Langford says the champion swimmer is being punished for her athletic physique and that the cut of most competitive suits isn’t in compliance with the rule.

The digs, kills and lengthy rallies that punctuated Tuesday night’s Southcentral Conference clash at Kenai Central High School seemed to perfectly encapsulate the type of tight competition that the region is preparing for this season.
The Homer Mariners walked away with a 3-1 conference victory over the Kenai Kardinals, winning with scores of 25-18, 19-25, 25-20 and 25-20, but the game action was tight and tense throughout, leading both head coaches to agree that the battle for region seeding in October will be just as close.
“The southern part of our conference is strong,” said Homer coach Stephanie Carroll. “It’ll be us and Kenai and Nikiski fighting for that region title.” The Kardinals (0-1 overall) are fresh off a competitive loss to Class 4A opponent Soldotna last Saturday at the See NET, Page A9
Antonio Brown accused of rape by former trainer By Jay Cohen AP Sports Writer
New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown has been accused of rape by a former trainer. Britney Taylor says Brown sexually assaulted her on three occasions, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida. Brown has denied the allegations. Darren Heitner, a lawyer representing Brown, told The Associated Press his client plans to countersue. “He will pursue all legal remedies to not only clear his name, but to also protect other professional athletes against false accusations,” Heitner said in a statement.
Heitner said Brown and Taylor had “a consensual personal relationship.” The New York Times first reported about the lawsuit. The AP does not ordinarily name the alleged victims of sex assaults, but Taylor was identified in the federal lawsuit and was quoted in a statement provided by her lawyer, David Haas. “As a rape victim of Antonio Brown, deciding to speak out has been an incredibly difficult decision,” Taylor said. “I have found strength in my faith, my family, and from the accounts of other survivors of sexual assault. Speaking out removes the shame that I have felt
for the past year and places it on the person responsible for my rape.” Taylor also said in the statement she will cooperate with the NFL and any other agencies. A spokesman for the NFL declined comment, but the Patriots said the league told the team it will launch an investigation. “We are aware of the civil lawsuit that was filed earlier today against Antonio Brown, as well as the response by Antonio’s representatives,” the Patriots said in a statement. “We take these allegations very seriously. Under no circumstance does this organization condone sexual violence or assault. The league has informed us that
they will be investigating. We will have no further comment while that investigation takes place.” The 31-year-old Brown, a Miami native, was released by Oakland last week after clashing with the team throughout training camp. He agreed to a contract with New England on Saturday, but has yet to play for the Patriots. Brown and Taylor met through a Fellowship of Christian Athletes group at Central Michigan University, according to the suit. Taylor said Brown reached out to her via Facebook in June 2017 and asked the former gymnast for help with improving his strength and flexibility.
According to the lawsuit, Taylor was sexually assaulted by Brown on separate training trips to Pittsburgh and Florida that same month. The suit includes what it says are text messages from Brown bragging about the second assault. Taylor says in the suit she then cut off ties with Brown. But she agreed to work with him again after she says he apologized and agreed to provide hotel accommodations for each training trip. According to the lawsuit, Taylor and Brown were in Miami in May 2018 when he raped her in a bedroom at his home. Taylor says she shouted “no” and “stop,” but Brown refused.
Dodgers clinch 7th straight NL West championship By The Associated Press BALTIMORE — The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their seventh consecutive NL West title in fitting fashion, using two home runs by Corey Seager and a masterful pitching performance by Walker Buehler to beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-3 on Tuesday night. After the final out, the first team to clinch a playoff spot this season gathered at the mound for a subdued celebration that included a wardrobe change for a pending champagne celebration in

Shayna Pritchard Memorial Tournament in Nikiski. Earlier in the day, Kenai defeated reigning 3A state champions Nikiski in the tourney semifinals. Kenai head coach Tracie Beck said two weeks ago at the Homer Jamboree, the Kardinals were nowhere near the level of competition they displayed Saturday and Tuesday. “I’m impressed with the girls’ growth, although we still have a lot of work to do,” Beck said. “You see moments of brilliance, and that gives you hope that the hard work is paying off.” Homer (2-0 overall), meanwhile, is coming off a weekend victory at the North/South Tournament in Seward, giving Tuesday’s match a little more hype. “We’re both coming off weekends where we did really well, and they’re very well-coached, so we were going to have to play hard,” Carroll. “Especially in this gym.

hostile.” Both teams had their moments in Tuesday’s match, highlighted by stellar defense that led to long rallies, while still running into mistakes caused by inexperience or pressure. “These Tuesday games are hard,” Carroll said. “The early-in-the-week games are hard to get the energy up.” Homer used an eightpoint run break open the first set and take a 14-6 lead that allowed the Mariners to cruise to the win. The final three sets weren’t nearly as lopsided. Homer got off to an 8-2 start in the second set thanks to tough serving by Marina Carroll, who served up three aces during the run, but a determined middle blocking effort by Kenai helped close the gap back up. Kenai rallied back to take a 15-13 lead, and a pair of kill points by Bethany Morris and Baileigh Skorupa forced the Mariners to call timeout with Kenai leading 20-16 and on a seven-point run. A handful of shots into the netting kept Homer from staging a comeback and the Kardinals tied it up at a set apiece on a kill

point by Erin Koziczkowski. In the third set, Kenai kept the vibes moving with a 4-1 start. More power from Morris from the outside hitting position later pushed the lead to 18-16, but once again, mistakes cropped up and the Kards dropped a few points to allow Homer back in. “There’s a whole different mentality when you’re playing to win, or you’re playing not to lose,” Beck explained. “So you make errors you don’t typically make. We didn’t make those same errors Saturday against SoHi.” Tied at 20-all, the Mariners scored the last five points to win it and take a 2-1 match lead.

of the fourth set until late. With Kenai leading 18-17, the Mariners suddenly clicked off six straight points to grab a 23-18 lead, forcing the Kards to take timeout. It proved to be enough as Homer won two of the final four points to secure the match. Carroll led the Homer offense with eight kills and five aces and Inama added three aces. The defense was led by Karmyn Gallios with eight digs (Gallios also had five kills) and Bishop, Sela Wiesser and libero Kitri Classen with seven digs each.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Sept. 11, the 254th day of 2019. There are 111 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 11, 2001, America faced an unprecedented day of terror as 19 al-Qaida members hijacked four passenger jetliners, sending two of the planes smashing into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania, resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths. On this date: In 1789, Alexander Hamilton was appointed the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. In 1814, an American fleet scored a decisive victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Champlain in the War of 1812. In 1936, Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a key in Washington to signal the startup of the dam’s first hydroelectric generator. In 1941, groundbreaking took place for the Pentagon. In a speech that drew accusations of anti-Semitism, Charles A. Lindbergh told an America First rally in Des Moines, Iowa, that “the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration” were pushing the United States toward war. In 1967, the comedy-variety program “The Carol Burnett Show” premiered on CBS. In 1970, Ford Motor Co. introduced the Pinto, a compact that would become caught up in controversy over the safety of its gas tank. (The Pinto was discontinued in 1980.) In 1973, Chilean President Salvador Allende (ah-YEN’-day) died during a violent military coup. In 1998, Congress released Kenneth Starr’s voluminous report that offered graphic details of President Clinton’s alleged sexual misconduct and leveled accusations of perjury and obstruction of justice; the president’s attorneys quickly issued a point-by-point rebuttal. In 2006, in a prime-time address, President George W. Bush invoked the memory of the victims of the 9/11 attacks as he staunchly defended the war in Iraq, though he acknowledged that Saddam Hussein was not responsible for the attacks. In 2007, a new Osama bin Laden videotape was released on the sixth anniversary of 9/11; in it, the al-Qaida leader’s voice is heard commemorating one of the suicide hijackers and calling on young Muslims to follow his example by martyring themselves in attacks. In 2008, presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama put aside politics as they visited ground zero together on the anniversary of 9/11 to honor its victims. In 2012, a mob armed with guns and grenades launched a fiery nightlong attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost and a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Ten years ago: On his first 9/11 anniversary as president, Barack Obama urged Americans to come together in service just as they united after the terrorist attacks. Anti-abortion activist James Pouillon (PUHL’yuhn) was shot to death near a high school in Owosso, Michigan. (Harlan James Drake was convicted of first-degree murder in the killing of Pouillon and the owner of a gravel pit, Mike Fuoss, and sentenced to life in prison.) Death claimed Hollywood writer Larry Gelbart at age 81 and poet and punk rocker Jim Carroll at age 60. Five years ago: In a joint statement, 10 Arab states promised to “do their share” to fight Islamic State militants, but NATO member Turkey refused to join in. One year ago: About 1.7 million people in three states were warned to get out of the way of Hurricane Florence, which was taking dead aim on the Carolinas. With Florence bearing down on the Southeast coast, President Donald Trump turned attention back to the federal government response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico a year earlier, deeming it “incredibly successful” despite a recent federal report finding that nearly 3,000 people died.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You have a tendency to tell it as it is. Right now, you find others highly responsive. Others also present unusual suggestions. Do not call an end to a brainstorming session. Let it die down naturally. Tonight: Having fun wherever you are.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Work with someone who always seems to come up with good suggestions, especially as you might be trying to amplify your budget.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Keep stretching to come up with an amicable solution. You might not even have to do so, as a significant party in your life assumes that role. Watch a problem level out. Tonight: Living it up.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Let others express their ideas and concerns. Simply listen. You might bypass a conversation or two, as you have a lot of energy for getting certain errands and projects done. Meanwhile, you get to clear your to-do list. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH A partner or associate encourages you to get going and not be distracted by an individual with whom you frequently have fun. A partner is full of information and wants part of your time. Use your self-discipline if you need to get through a lot of to-do’s. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Focus on getting the job
done. You might be a bit tired of the same issues. You do find the day a little more upbeat, especially when dealing with a roommate or family member. Try to not make any significant decisions right now. Tonight: Squeeze in some downtime.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHHH You might easily hear too much about a topic. You also wonder how much of it is gossip. You could feel as if you’ve gone overboard sharing a personal topic. Use self-discipline, especially when shopping. You are likely to choose the top of the line. Tonight: Letting loose.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your personality breaks through another person’s resistance. You know what you want and where you are going. Your upbeat behavior takes you far and helps you win over a friend to see a situation through your eyes. Tonight: Where your friends are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Deal with a domestic issue. You also eye an expenditure around real estate or your home. Do more research and check out what is happening with a specific potential investment. Tonight: Enjoying a favorite dessert.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Dear Heloise: I make a gelatin (molded) salad that my family loves. It’s become a tradition to have it every Thanksgiving. This year, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving outdoors, and as you probably know, it’s very warm here on Thanksgiving. I want the gelatin to stay firm in warm weather. Any hints on how to do that? — Georgette T., Hollywood, Fla. Georgette, to help your gelatin stay firm, add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to the recipe. Also, take the serving plate and put it in the freezer the night before so that it’s nice and cold. If you like this simple hint with vinegar, you’ll find many more and a few tasty recipes in my pamphlet Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More. To get a copy, send $5, along with a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, long envelope, to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Or you can order it online at www.Heloise.com. — Heloise
Dear Heloise: I recently read an article that made a lot of sense. It championed the cause of Medicare and Medicaid paying for fresh vegetables and fruit for people 65 and over who have various health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, etc. It’s preventive medicine to encourage people to eat healthier, and it’s a boon to American farmers. There could be a dollar limit per month, per person, but it would help many people avoid complications due to dietary deficiencies, and in the long run it would cut down on health care costs. — Keith L. in San Antonio Keith, it’s a great idea. However, the cost of administering such a program might be prohibitive. Still, it could benefit many people and provide much-needed nutrition to so many Americans. — Heloise

Peninsula Clarion
U.S. to commemorate 9/11 as its aftermath extends, evolves By Jennifer Peltz Associated Press
NEW YORK — Americans are commemorating 9/11 with mournful ceremonies, volunteering, appeals to “never forget” and rising attention to the terror attacks’ extended toll on responders. A crowd of victims’ relatives is expected at ground zero Wednesday, while President Donald Trump is scheduled to join an observance at the Pentagon. Vice President Mike Pence is to speak at the third attack site, near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Eighteen years after the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil, the nation is still grappling with the aftermath at ground zero, in Congress and beyond. The attacks’ aftermath is visible from airport
security checkpoints to Afghanistan. A rocket exploded at the U.S. embassy as the anniversary began in Afghanistan, where a post-9/11 invasion has become America’s longest war. “People say, ‘Why do you stand here, year after year?’ ” Chundera Epps, a sister of Sept. 11 victim Christopher Epps, said at last year’s ceremony at the World Trade Center. “Because soldiers are still dying for our freedom. First responders are still dying and being ill.” “We can’t forget. Life won’t let us forget,” she added. The anniversary ceremonies center on remembering the nearly 3,000 people killed when hijacked planes rammed into the trade center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville on Sept. 11, 2001.
All those victims’ names are read aloud at the ground zero ceremony, where moments of silence and tolling bells mark the moments when the aircraft crashed and the trade center’s twin towers fell. But there has been growing awareness in recent years of the suffering of another group of people tied to the tragedy: firefighters, police and others who died or fell ill after exposure to the wreckage and the toxins unleashed in it. While research continues into whether those illnesses are tied to 9/11 toxins, a victims compensation fund for people with potentially Sept. 11-related health problems has awarded more than $5.5 billion so far. Over 51,000 people have applied. After years of legislative gridlock, dwindling money in the fund
