Racist notes sent to student By Rachel D’Oro Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — School officials in an Alaska Native village said Tuesday they are investigating three racist, hatefilled notes left in the locker of a mixed-race student that urged the girl to kill herself, one day after another student in the Bering Sea community died by suicide. David Harris, the school principal in Hooper Bay, said he is asking teachers to see if they recognize the handwriting on the notes, which targeted a 14-yearold girl who is part black and part Yup’ik. The girl told her mother she also had received earlier, similar notes as well. The latest notes were found Monday, one day after a school senior died by suicide, leaving the community of 1,250 in grief, Harris said. After hearing about the notes Monday, Harris brought up both subjects separately at a school assembly. He said he did not outright connect the two subjects, but he told students that such notes could lead to targeted children harming themselves. “I let the kids connect it in their minds, hopefully,” Harris said. “My message was that we as a community are better than what these notes represent,” he said. The girl’s mother said she pulled her daughter out of classes for the day after hearing from her about the notes Monday. She said her daughter told her she also received similar notes last week but threw those away. Her daughter has no idea who wrote the notes. “It’s very disturbing,” the mother said. Harris said he has not contacted local police or Alaska State Troopers and sees no need to at this point. For now, he is hoping teachers will recognize the handwriting in the notes. “I just want to say, this doesn’t represent a vast majority of my kids,” Harris said. “My kids have good hearts, and we will work through this.” Hooper Bay is a Yup’ik Eskimo village on the state’s western coast, about 530 miles west of Anchorage.

Bjorkman, Cox lead early returns By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
Voters weighed in on three Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly seats Tuesday. Three candidates ran for the District 3 seat to represent Nikiski: John Quick, Jesse Bjorkman and Joseph Ross. After results were tallied, Bjorkman looked to be the unofficial winner Tuesday night. In a written statement to the Clarion, Bjorkman thanked the people of Nikiski and those who supported his campaign and encouraged voters to continue to stay involved in local government. “Together, we’re going to take it one day at a time to do what’s right for the working people of Nikiski and our Borough,” he said. Roger Long of Nikiski said that he voted for Bjorkman because of his age and the way he answered questions during meetings with the public. “I like that he’s a little younger, and he seemed to be a little more straightforward with his answers than the other candidates,” Long said. Erich DeLand — who was himself a candidate for a seat on the Nikiski Service Area Board — said that he voted for Quick because he felt like

Props 1, 2 failing by wide margin By Michael Armstrong Homer News
Kenai Peninsula Borough voters considered two propositions on Tuesday’s ballot that appeared to be losing by wide margins by the time preliminary results filtered in Tuesday night. Proposition 1 sought to change borough government to a managerbased system similar to that of the City of Homer and other municipalities. Proposition 2 was more familiar to
voters, with once again asking them if they wanted to raise the sales tax cap from $500 to $1,000. In borough-wide results, and with 28 of 29 precincts counted, Prop 1 was failing by 4,115 to 3,132 votes or 56/78 to 43.22% Prop 2 was failing with 3,985 to 3.317 votes, or 54.57 to 45.43%. In the Homer area, both propositions did better, winning in Homer 1 and 2 precincts, Diamond Ridge, Fritz Creek/Kachemak City and Seldovia.
If Proposition 1 had passed, a mayor would still have been elected borough-wide, but the duties of that mayor would not include being the chief administrator of the borough. The elected mayor would serve as the chair of the assembly, participate in assembly discussions, vote on assembly actions in the case of a tie and still hold veto power. According to the Division of Community and Regional Affairs records, 12 of the 19 boroughs in See props, Page A3

Dave Carey was the apparent winner of a seat on the Soldotna City Council, according to Tuesday night’s unofficial election results. Carey, who ran against local business owner Pam Parker, is poised to replace Tim Cashman on the city council. Carey took in 300 votes or 54% of the vote, while Parker took in 240 votes, or
43% of the vote. There were 12 writein votes. Carey, who’s served on the council and as the city’s mayor in the past, said he thanks everyone who voted Tuesday night. “I can’t wait to serve on the council,” Carey said. “Pam did a very good job at her campaign. It was very open, honest and wonderful.” It was Parker’s first race. She said she was a little disappointed with

Dan Castimore, who has served on the school board in the Kalifornsky seat for the last six consecutive years, had 136 votes or 23% of the vote.

Inquiry into impeachment heats up Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Democrats trade intimidation charges in Trump probe. By Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Jonathan Lemire Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Setting a defiant tone, the Trump administration resisted Congress’ access to impeachment witnesses Tuesday, even as House Democrats warned such efforts themselves could amount to an impeachable offense. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tried to delay five current and former officials from providing documents and testimony in the impeachment inquiry that could lead to charges against President Donald Trump. But Democrats were able to set closed-door
depositions for Thursday for former special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker and next week for ousted U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. The escalating exchange of accusations and warnings signaled yet another stiffening in the confrontation between the executive and legislative branches amid the Democrats’ launching of the impeachment inquiry late last week. That followed a national security whistleblower’s disclosure of Trump’s July phone call seeking help from the new Ukrainian president in investigating Democratic political rival Joe Biden and Biden’s son Hunter. In a Tuesday evening tweet, Trump cast the impeachment inquiry as a coup “intended to take away the Power of the People, their VOTE, their Freedoms, their Second Amendment, Religion, Military, Border Wall, and their God-given rights as a Citizen of The United States of America!” In fact,
a coup is usually defined as a sudden, violent and illegal seizure of government power. The impeachment process is laid out in the U.S. Constitution. Pompeo said the Democrats were trying to “intimidate” and “bully” the career officials into appearing and claimed it would be “not feasible” as demanded. House investigators countered that it would be illegal for the secretary to try to protect Trump by preventing the officials from talking to Congress. Some Trump supporters cheered Pompeo’s muscular response to the Democrats. But it also complicated the secretary’s own situation, coming the day after it was disclosed that he had listened in during Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy that helped trigger the impeachment inquiry.

“Any effort to intimidate witnesses or prevent them from talking with Congress — including State Department employees — is illegal and will constitute evidence of obstruction of the impeachment inquiry,” said three House chairmen, Adam Schiff of the intelligence committee, Eliot Engel of Foreign Affairs, and Elijah Cummings of Oversight. They said that if he was on Trump’s call, “Secretary Pompeo is now a fact witness in the House impeachment inquiry.” And they warned, “He should immediately cease intimidating Department witnesses in order to protect himself and the President.” On Wednesday, the State Department’s inspector general is expected to brief

congressional staff from several House and Senate appropriations, oversight, foreign affairs and intelligence committees on their requests for information and documents on Ukraine, according to an aide familiar with the planning. The inspector general acts independently from Pompeo. The committees are seeking voluntary testimony from the current and former officials as the House digs into State Department actions and Trump’s other calls with foreign leaders that have been shielded from scrutiny. In halting any appearances by State officials, and demanding that executive branch lawyers accompany them, Pompeo is underscoring Attorney General William Barr’s expansive view of White House authority and setting a tone for conflicts to come. “I will use all means at my disposal to prevent and expose any attempts to intimidate the dedicated professionals,” Pompeo wrote.

Charles Farring Hawkins August 1, 1946 - September 13, 2019
Chuck was born to Jim and Mary Hawkins in Carmel, CA. In Aug. 1950 Chuck arrived in Ninilchik, Alaska with his mother, father and younger brother. Within a year Ninilchik became Chuck’s home. By 1953 Chuck’s father and mother had established a homestead at Mile 126 of the Sterling Hwy. Chuck lived in Dillingham, and Juneau before returning to Ninilchik with his mother and brother in 1959 to make
this his home. Chuck was salutatorian of his Ninilchik high school class of 1964, and in July of that year he entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. He graduated from West Point in June of 1968 and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. His initial posting was in Germany where he stayed for one year. In early 1970 he went to Viet Nam. He was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division. He was promoted to the rank of Capitan and became the commander of A Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment. In early 1970 his battalion established Fire Support Base Ripcord. It was the last battle in the Viet Nam war that was fought between the US and North Vietnamese Regulars. It was because of Chuck’s actions during the Battle of Ripcord that Chuck received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with V(for Valor) device, the Purple Heart and several other accommodations. After returning from Vietnam he spent some time at Ft. Leavenworth as a company commander, then separated from the active army and finished a distinguished career with the George Army National Guard and finally the Virginia Army National Guard. Chuck struggled for a few years trying to find his place in the civilian world. Being a talented writer, he utilized his skills working as a defense annalist with the Dept of Defense and other contractors. His specialty became China and the Korean Peninsula. His first trip to China was in March 1997, followed by 50 trips total during the next 22 years. He worked with various Chinese Universities and PLA groups at conferences. In the early 2000’s, he began to divide his time between Maryland, Ninilchik, and work related locations. Re-establishing a life in Ninilchik; living in the family homestead was his deepest desire. He truly loved reconnecting with many friends and Bro and Sis. His joy of “jamming” with local musicians was without measure. He was also involved with several charitable activities. His favorite being his efforts to raise money for North Korean refugees in China and helping them to reach freedom in South Korea. His latest project was establishing an organization entitled THE KENAI INSTITUTE for STRATEGIC STUDIES (KISS). He did like to keep it simple, always planning and building dreams…. living life to the fullest each day. Chuck is survived by his daughter, Jonelle Erichsen, husband Troels and grand daughter Sloane, his brother Richard (Dick) and wife Linda, his Aunt, Mary Hackman, his Uncle, George Pollard, nieces Rebecca Fender and Tamara Hawkins, cousins John and Susie Hackman (Gabe and Liza), Laura Hackman and husband Mike, (Jack and Ben), Ann Hackman and husband Mike, (Caitlin and Molly).

Richard Dennis Kivi May 2, 1942 - July 26, 2019
Born to Sulo and Vienna Kivi in Ironwood, Michigan, May 2, 1942. He went Home to be with the Lord on July 26th, 2019. He will join his parents, his sister Shirley, his brother William, his son Ralph and his daughter Angela. He left behind his wife Luetta of nearly 50 years, son Victor and daughters LaDawna and Nicolette. He also leaves behind three grandsons, Cameron, Tyler and Devin, brothers Ken and Gary Kivi. Dick - as he was known to his family and friends - moved to Alaska in the 1960’s, worked on the Alaska Railroad, then moved on as equipment operator for Fish and Wildlife for 36 years, and volunteered for the Nikiski Fire Department for 28 years until 2006. He worked hard his entire life for his family. He was known for being someone you could count on and always wanted on your side. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and time with his children and grandchildren. He will be missed and loved by all.
Public Office Commission for his alleged involvement with a political action group, Alaska Yes, that supported his campaign. Wayne Walton said that he voted for Bjorkman after meeting and speaking with the candidate at a campaign event. Walton added that he was “suspicious” of Quick because he hasn’t been a Nikiski resident for very long and seemed to have spent a lot of money on campaign advertisements. Running for the District 4 seat to represent Soldotna were Tyson Cox and Rose Henry. Cox was declared the

Alaska have a manager form of government, as do several cities within the borough. Assembly members Hal Smalley and Kelly Cooper sponsored the ordinance putting the question to the voters. Cooper noted that the last time the borough asked voters to consider a manager-based system, it failed 73 to 27%. “It did much better this time,” she said. “I think people are starting to understand the value of a professional manager system and its consistency. … I think our voters are becoming more engaged. They’re asking questions about how government works.” Observing that the lower Kenai Peninsula south of Anchor Point voted for Prop 1, Cooper said, “I don’t know if they’re feeling that their voice isn’t being heard — it’s (government) not being responsive to the areas further out. Under current Kenai Peninsula Borough code, sales tax is only applied up to the first $500 of a purchase. This cap has been in effect in the borough since 1965. According to the Alaska Department

unofficial winner on Tuesday night. “I’m very proud to have run a positive campaign,” Cox said on Tuesday night. “And it shows that people are in support of someone who runs a positive campaign and someone who has the experience even if it’s not experience on the assembly. I also think that me having school-aged children had a big impact, and people felt like that was important when deciding who they wanted to serve on the assembly.” On Tuesday, Henry and her supporters stood at the “Y” in Soldotna where the Sterling Highway meets the Kenai Spur Highway, holding signs in support of her campaign and that of District 7 candidate Holly Odd. “I feel great,” Henry said
as she stood on the sidewalk waving to traffic. “It’s Election Day and everyone is honking and giving us thumbs up. I want to see everyone else get out and vote.” Hannah Dolphin said that she voted for Tyson Cox because he supports education. Lyn Kennedy said that both candidates are nice people, but her decision came down to who showed up to the public forums. “One seems to have been missing from some of the public questioning periods so it made the choice kind of easy in my mind,” Kennedy said, although she did not specify for whom she voted. In the race for the District 7 seat representing the Central Peninsula, Brent Johnson
and Holly Odd ran against each other, with Johnson emerging as the unofficial winner Tuesday night. “Thank you voters,” Johnson said Tuesday night after learning that he had won. “I’m honored to be chosen again, and I look forward to serving the entire borough.” Kasilof resident Linda Wright said that she voted for Johnson. “Just ‘cause he’s been there forever and I know him,” Wright said. “I don’t know Holly all that much. He’s a fisherman and I’m a retired fisherman. She might have done well, but I just stuck with the old.” MaryAnn Dyke of Kasilof also voted for Johnson. She said she knows Johnson and thinks that he’s the right person for the job.
of Labor, $500 in 1965, adjusted for inflation on the Anchorage Consumer Price Index, would be worth about $3,195 in 2018. The Borough’s sales tax of 3%, when applied to a purchase of $500 or more, adds an additional $15 to the cost of the purchase. Proposition 2 would have raised that cap to $1,000. If applied under the current tax rate, the maximum amount paid on any given purchase would have been $30. Residential rentals would have been exempt from the potential cap increase because “it would disproportionately affect tenants of residential property who would pay the higher rate every month,” according to the language of Proposition 2. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Finance Department estimated the sales tax cap increase would have generated approximately $3.1 to $3.4 million annually in additional revenue. In the borough, sales tax revenues go directly to fund education. Cooper said she was disappointed Prop 2 failed, “especially after all the angst that occurred with the negotiation of the school district contracts. We saw all those wonderful sings, ‘we support teachers,’ ‘we support our support staff.’” Voters might not have realized raising the tax cap meant more revenue for the school
district. “I don’t understand why it didn’t pass,” Cooper said. “I don’t know if the message didn’t get out.” Organized opposition to Proposition 1 came mainly from Alaska Yes, a nonprofit group that registered as an independent expenditure organization. In a complaint, Alaska Yes came under fire from the Alaska Public Offices Commission for failing to register as a group in a timely matter, failing to file campaign disclosure reports, failing to report non-monetary contributions to the John Quick campaign, using Alaska Yes expenditures to support Quick and failing to identify the true source of funds used in expenditures. Alaska Yes said about $20,000 in contributions came from Celebrate Alaska, an Aug. 31 fundraiser held in Homer. APOC said Celebrate Alaska is also a reserved name of Alaska Yes, and it should have identified its “true source of funds.” On billboards, Alaska Yes argued against Prop 1 to “save your right to vote and then keep voting.” That argument resonated with voters. In interviews at peninsula precincts, most spoke against the idea. “I voted no because we wouldn’t get a vote,” an anonymous voter said. “I think it takes away the power of the people to decide who will be in charge,” added
another anonymous voter. “They want to bypass the will of the voters,” Wayne Walton of Nikiski said. “I’ve seen it in other areas and I think this borough would be particularly susceptible to cronyism, so I’m against it,” Roger Long of Nikiski said on why he voted no. “I don’t think that style of government would be a good fit for our borough,” said Seth Tauriainen of Nikiski. But not everyone was opposed to the idea. Soldotna resident Lyn Kennedy voted in support of the borough manager system of government. She said it would be a good idea for the borough. “The local cities here all do it and we seem to survive just fine,” she said. “I think when you elect a mayor, you always have a learning curve for them no matter who it is. When somebody gets into office, it takes them awhile to get up to speed. They can’t really do everything as well as they should when that happens. I think when you have a manager, most likely your manager is going to stay a little bit longer and have more knowledge in that area. I just think it’d be a better move for the borough in the long term.” On Proposition 2, Kennedy also voted to increase the sales tax cap.

After climate summit, leaders must take action
G
lobal warming measures have entered the phase in which world leaders must not merely express their determination or reveal their targets but actually reduce greenhouse gases. To what extent have world leaders been able to deepen their recognition of this? The Climate Action Summit was held at U.N. headquarters, where world leaders gathered to discuss global warming. German Chancellor Angela Merkel unveiled policies of doubling the budgets for battling climate change and promoting the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. French President Emmanuel Macron said his country will increase its contribution to a fund which extends support to developing countries, helping them to adapt to changes that result from global warming such as rising sea levels. U.N. Secretary General Toward achieving the Antonio Guterres targets set out under the Paris Agreement, an international framework for fighting global warming, 77 countries have reportedly committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The question is whether it is possible to realize the target. It won’t be easy for any country under dire economic circumstances to proceed with environmental measures that impose burdens on its citizens. Even since the Paris accord was adopted in 2015, the brakes have not been applied to greenhouse gas emissions, which have increased. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2018 reached a record high. The average global temperature for the 2015-19 period is expected to be the warmest on record. It is feared that natural disasters, in the form of typhoons, floods, droughts and the like, will become more likely. Besides human losses, economic activity will also suffer a blow. U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres appealed to world leaders, saying, “The biggest cost is doing nothing.” The Paris accord is to be implemented from 2020. The endeavors of the signatories to implement their commitments should be accelerated. First of all, the United States and China, which are the two largest greenhouse gas emitters in the world, each need to assume due responsibility. The United States has announced its withdrawal from the accord, and is moving ahead with easing environmental regulations. U.S. President Donald Trump made an appearance at the summit but did not make a speech. Wang Yi, Chinese state councillor and foreign minister, said, “Developed countries need to take the lead in reducing (greenhouse gas) emissions,” emphasizing China’s position on the part of developing countries. As a major economic power, it is irresponsible for China to say this. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe forewent his attendance at the summit, as he was unable to adjust his schedule. At a meeting related to the summit, Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said Japan will cooperate with other countries “to realize a decarbonized society.” Japan should promote the development of materials produced by reusing CO2 and support developing countries with energy-saving technologies. Movements among young people, mainly in Western countries, calling for governments to accelerate their global climate measures have become spirited. A 16-year-old Swedish environmentalist told world leaders during the summit meeting that “you are failing us.” Implementing appropriate policies and passing better environments down to the next generation — leaders of countries must assume this grave responsibility. — The Japan News, Sept. 25

A polarizing, but sadly unavoidable, inquiry
he nation may not yet be entirely caught in the grip of impeachment fever, but a shift in the poll numbers suggests that since last week, we have gained a temperature. Such circumstances usually call for plenty of liquids and a period of bed rest, and perhaps it’s in all of our interest to follow that regimen now, as the U.S. House of Representatives officially begins an inquiry into the possible impeachment of President Donald Trump. Impeachment talk regarding Trump began even before he took the Oath of Office, and it’s too bad that in the intervening months, this has become a national preoccupation, a certain pitch-by-pitch polarizing entertainment of sorts. For too many people, and far too often, impeachment is seen not as a last-ditch mechanism to remove a criminally incompetent leader but as a handy tool to wield against an indomitably obstinate political opponent. This has been our consistent impression of the impeachment undercurrent that has gurgled beneath the surface of some of Trump’s most-ardent Democratic opposition. Many Trump critics seem
insistent not on contending with the president through the force of argument and numbers but by simply shooing him out of the way. As frustrated as we have been with many of the president’s policies and episodes of unbecoming behavior, that perception has always made us uneasy, and we have generally felt, as we stated flatly in an editorial following Robert Mueller’s testimony before Congress, that, “Right now, the only thing an impeachment attempt would do is further divide us all.” That was in July. Coincidentally, two days before we published that editorial, President Trump had a phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in which rough transcripts show he urged an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden, the chief roadblock at that moment to Trump’s re-election. Now that it has learned of that conversation, is the nation developing a stomach for impeachment it did not have two months ago? Is the nation willing to put the distractions, the talking heads and the talking points aside and listen dispassionately to the evidence, wherever it leads? Speaking for ourselves, we have to
admit we are feeling our temperature rise. A president of the United States has admitted, indeed boasts of, pressuring the head of a foreign nation to take direct action against a political rival. Just writing that sentence fills us with a sense of dread. But is it enough to consider invoking a process that aims to remove a duly elected president by legislative fiat rather than a vote of the electorate? We are not quite there yet. But neither are we closing the door. So much of the debate has focused on whether there was or wasn’t a quid-quo-pro in Trump’s request for “a favor.” An important issue to resolve, to be sure. But it should not distract us from what already is undisputed fact: The president reached out to a foreign power to ask that it investigate his top political rival. Viewing that soberly, removed from the manipulative passions of politics, what patriot cannot be troubled? For some, that by itself might be enough to consider. But, we need to know more. As a nation, we may regret the taste of the medicine, but our rising temperature requires it all the same. — (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald (Illinois), Sept. 28

Ex-S. Carolina congressman sues state GOP for nixing primary By Meg Kinnard Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A Republican former South Carolina congressman is part of a lawsuit filed Tuesday over the state party’s decision to cancel its GOP primary ahead of the 2020 election, a move taken by several states in erecting hurdles for the longshot candidates challenging President Donald Trump. Former U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis said in the lawsuit that the party’s decision not to hold a presidential primary deprives him and other Republicans “of the ability to vote for the candidate of their choice in South Carolina’s famous (and particularly influential) ‘First in the South’ primary.” South Carolina is among at least four states that have canceled Republican primaries and caucuses next year, an effort that helps smooth Trump’s path to reelection. The move, taken last month in South Carolina by the state party’s executive committee, is not unusual for the party of the White House incumbent seeking a second term. Doing so allows Trump to try to consolidate his support as Democrats work to winnow their large field of candidates. The suit was filed in state court in Columbia on Inglis’ behalf by The Protect Democracy Project, which calls itself a “nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing American democracy from declining into a more authoritarian form of government.” In a statement issued by the group, Inglis — who served six terms in the U.S. House and lost a GOP runoff to eventual Gov. Nikki Haley in 2010 — said he was taking part in the suit
“because the cancellation of the primary by a small handful of party insiders denied me — and every other South Carolina Republican — our voice in defining what the Republican Party is and who it supports.” South Carolina’s Republican Party said Tuesday that it doesn’t not typically comment on lawsuits. Challengers have emerged to Trump, including former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh and Mark Sanford, a former congressman and governor from South Carolina. “We support and appreciate the filing of this lawsuit. Especially with Donald Trump’s increasingly precarious position, Republicans everywhere deserve a choice as to their candidate in next year’s election. South Carolina is no exception,” Weld told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It should never be the case that a handful of party leaders can arbitrarily silence voters and predetermine the outcome of a nominating process.” On Tuesday, Sanford tweeted that news of the lawsuit “would make our Founding Fathers proud!” He later told the AP that it is frustrating not to be able to compete in his home state and said the political process is “made better and stronger by a contrast comparison and evaluation and debate.” The lawsuit was first reported by The Post and Courier of Charleston. Primary challenges to incumbents are rarely successful, and Trump’s poll numbers among Republican voters have proved resilient. Nonetheless, Trump aides are looking to prevent a repeat of the convention discord that highlighted the electoral weaknesses
of Presidents George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter in their failed reelection campaigns. Since last year, Trump’s campaign has worked to monitor — and at times control — the process by which delegates to next year’s Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, are selected. His campaign wants the convention to be a four-night “infomercial” for Trump by sidelining the president’s detractors within the party. The effort is an acknowledgment that Trump hasn’t cemented his grip on the GOP and might not coast to the nomination without some opposition. To that end, the campaign has worked over the past year to scuttle any attempts at a Trump challenge by party dissidents, mindful that a serious primary opponent could weaken Trump heading into the general election. In January, the Republican National Committee voted to express its “undivided support” for Trump and his “effective presidency.” In years past, both Republicans and Democrats have cut state nominating contests when an incumbent president from their party ran for a second term. In 1984, South Carolina GOP leaders opted to call off their primary as President Ronald Reagan sought a second term. In 2004, the GOP again canceled the state’s primary with leaders deciding instead to endorse President George W. Bush’s reelection bid. The South Carolina Democratic Party didn’t hold presidential primaries in 1996 or in 2012, when Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were their incumbents.

Asylum policies are tested in appeals court By Elliot Spagat Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Attorneys for the Trump administration and the American Civil Liberties Union sparred Tuesday before a federal appeals court on two major changes to the rules of asylum, a backwater topic in immigration policy debates until the president made it a crucial part of his agenda. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco heard arguments on a policy to make asylum seekers wait in Mexico while their cases wind through U.S. immigration courts. More than 42,000 people have been returned to Mexico since it took effect in January.
Another Trump policy would deny asylum to anyone who crosses the border illegally from Mexico. The Supreme Court declined to lift an order blocking it from taking effect last year following an extraordinary spat between President Donald Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts. The question before the judges — two appointed by President Bill Clinton and one by President Ronald Reagan — is whether to let the policies stay in effect while lawsuits proceed. They did not rule immediately. Judge William A. Fletcher, a Clinton appointee, told a Justice Department lawyer that the administration may be “in real trouble” because immigration authorities don’t ask
asylum seekers if they fear being sent back to Mexico. The lawyer, Scott Stewart, responded that they can express fears on their own initiative, which didn’t satisfy the judge. “Do you have any evidence of any sort that tells you that you’re going to get a high percentage of people volunteering that information?” Fletcher asked, concluding after some back and forth that the administration had none. ACLU attorney Judy Rabinovitz pressed for additional steps before an asylum seeker is sent back to Mexico, including rights to consult an attorney or have a translator. Backers of the policy, known officially as “Migrant Protection Protocols and colloquially as “Remain in Mexico,” say it prevents asylum
seekers from being released in the United States with notices to appear in court, which they consider a major incentive for more people to come. Its expansion coincided with a sharp drop in Border Patrol arrests from a 13-year-high in May. Opponents say it has exposed asylum seekers to extremely dangerous conditions in violent Mexican border cities while they wait for court hearings. Human Rights First, and advocacy group that has criticized the policy, issued a report Tuesday that said there were more than 340 public reports of rape, kidnapping, torture and other violent crimes against asylum seekers who have been sent back. The asylum ban on anyone who crosses the border illegally from
Mexico also drew pointed questions, including whether it violated U.S. law that says it doesn’t matter how people enter the country. Trump and Roberts clashed last year after the president denounced a judge who ruled against him on the ban as an “Obama judge.” Roberts said there was no such thing in a strongly worded statement contradicting Trump and defending judicial independence. Trump defended his own comment, tweeting defiantly, “Sorry Justice Roberts.” The Supreme Court ruled in Trump’s favour last month by letting another asylum ban take effect, denying it to anyone who passes through another country on the way to the U.S. border with Mexico without first applying there.
Protester shot as China marks its 70th anniversary By Eileen Ng and John Leicester Associated Press
HONG KONG — In a fearsome escalation of violence, Hong Kong police shot a protester in the chest at close range Tuesday, leaving the teenager bleeding and howling on the ground. Tens of thousands joined anti-government demonstrations that spread across the semi-autonomous Chinese territory in a challenge to Beijing’s dominance as the Communist Party celebrated 70 years in power. The officer fired the single pistol shot as protesters swarmed toward him, Police Commissioner Stephen Lo said, hitting the 18-year-old on the left side of his chest. Lo defended the action as “reasonable and lawful,” saying the officer feared for his life and had no other choice. Hong Kong’s hospital authority said the teen was one of two people in critical condition, with a total of 66 injured as fierce clashes between protesters and police wracked China’s freest and most international city. While officers have fired warning shots in the air on multiple occasions during months of unrest, this was the first time a protester has been struck by gunfire. The shooting marked a dramatic surge in violence
that spread chaos to multiple areas. Lo said there was no order for police to shoot if they are under threat but they can use appropriate force. He described protesters as “rioters,” saying they have committed widespread criminal acts — from attacking police officers, including 25 who were injured, to destroying public property and vandalizing shops and banks linked to China. “The officer was under attack, his life was threatened. … He made a very quick decision and shot the assailant. I believe it was his best judgment at the time,” Lo said. He added that although the officer also had a rifle for rubber bullets, the event unfolded very quickly. He didn’t answer questions on why the officer fired at the teen’s chest and not his limbs. Apart from the incident in Tsuen Wan, where the teen was shot, he said officers also fired five warning shots in four other areas, although no one was injured. Police arrested more than 180 protesters, he added. Local TV stations showed two officers with bloodied faces pointing pistols as protesters who sought to spoil the Oct. 1 anniversary of Communist rule fought pitched battles with riot police. Video that spread quickly on social media appeared to show the

officer opening fire as the masked teenager came at him with a metal rod, striking the officer’s shooting arm. Taken by the City University Student Union, it showed a dozen black-clad protesters throwing objects at a group of police and closing in on the lone officer who pointed his gun and opened fire. The protester toppled backward onto the street, bleeding from below his left shoulder. As another protester rushed in to try to drag away the wounded youth and was tackled by an officer, a gasoline bomb landed in the
middle of the group of officers in an explosion of flames. “Whilst there is no excuse for violence, the use of live ammunition is disproportionate, and only risks inflaming the situation,” U.K. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said of the protests in the former British colony that returned to Chinese rule in 1997. Riot police fired tear gas in at least six locations and used water cannons in the business district as usually bustling streets became battlefields. Determined to thumb their noses at Chinese President Xi
Jinping, protesters ignored a security clampdown that saw nearly four dozen subway stations closed. Chanting anti-China slogans and “Freedom for Hong Kong,” the dense crowd dressed in mournful black snaked for over a mile (1.6 kilometers) along a broad thoroughfare downtown in defiance of a police ban. Some carried Chinese flags defaced with a black cross. Organizers said at least 100,000 people marched in the biggest rally Tuesday. Police didn’t give an estimate. “They are squeezing our necks so we don’t breathe the air of freedom,” said King Chan, a 57-year-old homemaker who marched with her husband. Demonstrators tossed wads of fake bank notes usually used at funerals into the air. “The leaders who won’t listen to our voice, this is for them,” said marcher Ray Luk. Thousand others confronted police across the city, the largest number of simultaneous protests since the unrest began in early June over a now-shelved extradition bill that activists say was an example of how Hong Kong’s freedoms and citizen rights are being eroded. The movement has since grown into an anti-Chinese campaign with demands for direct elections for the city’s leaders and police accountability.
Pipeline rules adopted years after deadly explosion, spills By Matthew Brown Associated Press
BILLINGS, Mont. — U.S. transportation officials on Tuesday adopted long-delayed measures that are meant to prevent pipeline spills and deadly gas explosions but don’t address recommended steps to lessen accidents once they occur. The new rules from the Department of Transportation apply to more than 500,000 miles of pipelines that carry natural gas, oil and other hazardous materials throughout the U.S. In the works for almost a decade, the rules came in response to a massive gas explosion in San Bruno, California, that killed eight people in
2010, and large oil spills into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River in 2010 and the Yellowstone River in Montana in 2011 and 2015. The rules require companies to more closely inspect underground pipelines, including in rural areas and after catastrophic weather events. They also require better record-keeping so companies can monitor lines in some cases installed decades ago. Left unaddressed were longstanding recommendations by safety officials to install valves that automatically shut down pipelines following accidents. Also absent were requirements for more advanced systems to detect pipeline ruptures.
Those issues were being addressed through a separate, ongoing rule-making process. U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, chairman of the House transportation committee, said Tuesday’s rules were a step in the right direction. But the Oregon Democrat added that he was frustrated over “critical safety gaps” that remain in areas including leak detection technology and shut-off valves, which were mandated under pipeline safety legislation signed into law in 2011. “I hope the administration will move quickly on these rulemakings to ensure our nation’s pipeline systems operate safely,” DeFazio said.

Cop who shot neighbor found guilty of murder DALLAS — A white former Dallas police officer who shot her black unarmed neighbor to death after, she said, mistaking his apartment for her own was convicted of murder Tuesday in a verdict that prompted tears of relief from his family and chants of “black lives matter” from a crowd outside the courtroom. The same jury that found Amber Guyger guilty in the September 2018 death of her upstairs neighbor, Botham Jean, will consider her fate after hearing additional testimony that started Tuesday afternoon. Her sentence could range from five years to life in prison under Texas law. The jury took a matter of hours to convict Guyger, 31, after six days of testimony. Cheers erupted in the courthouse as the verdict was announced, and someone yelled “Thank you, Jesus!” In the hallway outside the courtroom, a crowd celebrated and chanted “black lives matter.” When the prosecutors walked into the hall, they broke into cheers. After the verdict was read, Guyger sat alone, weeping, at the defense table. Jean’s friends and family later testified to explain how his death has affected them. First on the stand was Allison Jean, who said her son was killed just before he was due
to turn 27. “My life has not been the same. ... I can’t sleep, I cannot eat. It’s just been the most terrible time for me,” she said.
S. Korea says N. Korea fired a projectile off eastern coast SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — North Korea on Wednesday fired at least one projectile toward its eastern sea, South Korea’s military said, in an apparent display of its expanding military capabilities ahead of planned nuclear negotiations with the United States this weekend. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff did not immediately confirm what the weapons were or how far they flew. The launch, which extended a torrid streak in weapons tests, came hours after a senior North Korean diplomat on Tuesday evening announced that North Korea and the United States have agreed to resume working-level nuclear negotiations this weekend. After supervising a testing firing of what the North described as a “newly developed super-large multiple rocket launcher” last month, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was quoted by state media as saying that the system would require a “running fire test” to complete its development. — Associated Press
advocates backed the adopted changes. In February, they joined to prod the Transportation Department’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to finalize the rule for gas transmission lines after it had been repeatedly delayed. “It doesn’t seem to us like any of those rules should have taken 10 years to pass … Everybody thinks these are common-sense, small regulations,” said Carl Weimer with the Pipeline Safety Trust, a Bellingham, Washington-based group that formed after a 1999 gasoline pipeline break and explosion killed a teenager and two 10-year-old boys. While the rules were pending, pipeline companies moved on their
own to make safety improvements such as developing guidelines for identifying and repairing cracked lines and responding to pipeline emergencies, according to the Association of Oil Pipe Lines. Federal regulators are expected to soon release their proposals for pipeline shut-off valves and rupture detection equipment. A separate proposal due sometime next year would extend safety regulations to so-called gathering pipelines that transport natural gas from drilling locations. Congress also is considering changes to the government’s pipeline safety rules through legislation that would re-authorize the program for the next four years.

Remembering the airplanes of World War II A
recent picture in Facebook reminded me of days during World War II when Army Air Force airplanes would fly over our farm in Northern Colorado. The big cargo planes, the bombers, the fighters, all were propeller driven. We could hear them coming the minute they took off from the Fort Warren Base in Cheyenne to the destination at an Army Air Force Base in Denver (I have forgotten name). I see after looking it up is may have been Buckley Air Force Base. If anyone knows, let me know! The jets were not around then. Would have been much quieter! I have a few relatives and friends
left who were in WWII, so I do not mind if you set me straight on my details. Anyway — all us kids, three at that time, John, Ginger and me — would be in the kitchen doing chores or making our beds, otherwise we were outdoors when they flew over. We would run out in the middle of the yard in front of the chicken house and jump up and down and wave and wave until we could not see or hear them anymore. Dad was very patriotic and talked about it all the time. He had three brothers in the service — Uncle Guy and Uncle Evan in the Army and Uncle Lester in the
Pioneer potluck ‘Grannie’ Annie Berg Army Air Force. If Dad was in the barn he would get up from milking Bessie or feeding the cows hay, go to the front of the barn, take off his hat and wave and wave as the fighters went over or the noisy bombers or those lazy and noisy
big cargo planes. As soon as we could not see or hear them we would go back to what we were doing. If Dad was on a tractor in the middle of a field, he would take off his old straw hat and wave and wave it in the air with one hand, while the other was on the tractor steering wheel. It was that image I saw on Facebook that brought back memories of Dad pulling his combine in the wheat field and standing up on the tractor with one hand waving his hat at the airplane and one hand still guiding the tractor. The image on Facebook was a much more modern combine and airplane,
but it still brought back great memories of the past and how proud we knew our Dad was and how proud we were to stand out in the yard and wave and watch the planes fly off into the wild blue yonder. Then we would go back to our chores or playing some game such as hide-and-seek or kick-thecan with grins on our face and a comment like, “Wow! That one was really loud!” Sometime a whole fleet of planes would fly in formation right over our house, barn and yard. It was the most excitement and See annie, Page A7
Peanut butter & chocolate decadence Clarion news services
Few dessert pairings are as beloved as chocolate and peanut butter. These are strong flavors that are coveted on their own, and especially so when eaten together. When packed in a decadent terrine, peanut butter and chocolate take indulgence to new heights. Whether hosting a gathering at home or preparing a dessert for family, this recipe for “Chocolate-Peanut Butter Terrine with Sugared Peanuts” from “Classic Stars Desserts” (Chronicle Books) by Emily Luchetti is sure to please. For best results, use chocolate with 58 to 62 percent cacao, rather than a chocolate of higher percentage. Chocolate-Peanut Butter Terrine with Sugared Peanuts Serves 8 Terrine 11 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped 1 ounce unsalted butter 6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter 4 large egg yolks 1 ⁄4 cup granulated sugar 1 3⁄4 cups whipping cream Glaze 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped 2 1⁄2 ounces unsalted butter 2 teaspoons light corn syrup Sugared Peanuts 1 large egg white 6 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1⁄2 cups unsalted peanuts Spray an 8 1⁄2-by-4 1⁄2-by-2 3⁄4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line the sprayed pan with plastic wrap, allowing a 1 1⁄2-inch overhang on all sides. In a stainless-steel bowl, combine the chocolate, butter, and peanut butter. Place the bowl over
a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter melt. Remove from the heat and whisk until smooth. Combine the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment and whip on high speed until thick, about 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate mixture in 3 equal additions. The mixture will be quite thick. In a separate bowl, whisk the cream until it starts to thicken. Using a spatula, fold the cream into the chocolate mixture in 4 equal additions. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Cover with the plastic wrap overhanging the sides and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. To unmold the terrine, fold back the plastic wrap and invert the pan onto a wire rack. Pull on a corner of the plastic wrap to release the terrine from the pan. Lift off the pan and carefully remove the plastic wrap. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rack on it. Return the terrine to the refrigerator while you make the glaze. To make the glaze, in a stainless-steel bowl, combine the chocolate, butter and corn syrup. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, and heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter melt. Remove from over the heat and whisk until smooth. The glaze should be pourable but not so thin that it will run off the terrine. If the glaze is too thin, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Slowly pour the glaze evenly over the top of the terrine, allowing it to stream evenly down the sides. With an offset spatula, spread the glaze to cover the terrine smoothly and completely. Refrigerate until the glaze is set, about 30 minutes. To make the sugared peanuts, preheat the oven to 350 F. In a bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Whisk in the sugar. Add the peanuts and mix until they are evenly coated with the mixture. Spread the peanuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven. Toast the nuts, stirring them every 5 minutes, until dry and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. To serve, transfer the terrine to a serving platter and arrange the sugared peanuts on top. Cut the terrine with a hot, dry knife.

Add-ins punch up, redefine Caesar salad By Chris Ross The San Diego Union-Tribune
British food blogger Nicky Corbishley says her kitchen was her sanctuary while she worked in corporate I.T. for 14 years. She used that kitchen time to unwind and experiment, so when she left the corporate world, it seemed natural to devote full time to her blog, Kitchen Sanctuary. Her new cookbook, “Seriously Good Salads,” offers 75 of her favorite recipes, most of which can be served as a main course.
She adds pasta and extra veggies to her version of a Caesar salad to make it a year-round dinner entree, with the suggestion that you can substitute whatever vegetables are in season. Find more of Corbishley’s recipes on her blog, www.kitchensanctuary.com CHICKEN CAESAR PASTA SALAD WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES Serves 4 2 red onions, cut into wedges 2 chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided ⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 medium zucchini, chopped into 1-inch cubes 1 ciabatta bread, chopped into 1-inch cubes 2 heads romaine lettuce, leaves separated and washed 2 cups cooked and cooled spiral pasta 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese 1
EASY CAESAR DRESSING 2 anchovies, mashed with a fork 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
Juice of 1⁄2 lemon 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 5 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the red onion wedges and chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and half of the salt and pepper. Toss to coat and then bake for 10 minutes. Add the zucchini cubes to the pan and turn them over to coat with the oil. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the cubed ciabatta on a separate baking sheet and drizzle
with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper, and toast in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the ciabatta has browned and the chicken on the other pan is cooked through. Remove from the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Arrange the lettuce on a large serving plate. Slice the chicken into bite-size chunks and place on top of the lettuce along with the cooked pasta, roasted vegetables and ciabatta croutons. Drizzle with a little of the dressing and top with the shredded Parmesan. Serve with extra dressing.
Celebrate versatility of sandwiches Clarion news services
The sandwich is a a go-to, lunch-hour staple.
Clarion news services
History suggests that the sandwich — a go-to, lunch-hour staple — was named for John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. Lord Sandwich was an 18th century English aristocrat who asked his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread while Sandwich was embroiled in a cribbage match he just had to play through. Even though Lord Sandwich wasn’t the first to enjoy meat or cheese between bread, he was the one to help solidify the moniker “sandwich.” Since then, all types of sandwiches have been designed and enjoyed, and these portable meals are a favorite for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Enjoy this take on the sandwich, a “Grilled Adobo Turkey BBT Sandwich” from
“Simply Scratch” (Avery) by Laurie McNamara. Grilled Adobo Turkey BBT Sandwich Makes 4 sandwiches 11⁄4 pounds turkey tenderloins 2 teaspoons olive oil 11⁄2 tablespoons 9 slices thick slab bacon 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 8 slices sourdough bread 6 tablespoons romesco sauce 12 thin slices Manchego cheese 16 fresh basil leaves Thinly sliced tomato Adobo Seasoning 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed in your palm 1⁄2 teaspoon ground turmeric Combine all ingredients for the
adobo seasoning. Place the turkey in a large bowl or resealable bag. Add the oil and seasoning, toss to coat and set aside on the counter to marinate. In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, about 30 minutes. Heat a grill pan between medium and mediumhigh heat. Place the seasoned turkey on the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, adjusting the heat so as to not burn, 12 to 14 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Reduce the heat under the grill pan to medium or medium-low. Butter one side of each piece of bread. On one of the unbuttered sides, spread 11⁄2 tablespoons of the romesco sauce. Place the bread, sauce-side up, on the grill pan and top with 2 slices of cheese, some basil, a few slices of tomato, bacon, sliced turkey, remaining cheese, and a second piece of buttered bread, sauce-side down. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes, or until grill marks form, then carefully flip and repeat. Cut in half and serve with more romesco sauce for dipping.

Make simply satisfying Spanish tapas at home By Genevieve Ko Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Aitor Zabala is the hands-on chef at Somni, the 10-seat tasting-menu-only Jose Andres restaurant in the SLS Hotel Beverly Hills. “At Somni, the cooking is not simple. It’s painful, it’s hard, but the essence of it is simple,” says Zabala about the manicured, modernist food the restaurant serves. But, he says, “My favorite place to eat is at a beach bar in Catalonia with gambas rojas and bread and really cold beer. All my best memories are there.” Rather than have him teach us how to sphericate something, we leaned on him for some of that soulful Spanish cooking, represented in two tapas that play nicely with each other: garlicky sauteed shrimp and tomato toast. “For these dishes, I want simplicity. But with simple recipes, you need to make them right,” explains Zabala. For the gambas, he likes head-on shrimp: “I don’t understand shrimp without heads. What I like about shrimp is what’s inside the head. I like the experience of sucking the juices out of the head and eating the tails with my fingers.” And he had a smart tip for making the dish: removing the garlic from the oil before cooking the shrimp, then returning it when the dish is nearly done, ensuring the garlic won’t burn and turn bitter during cooking. One of the best parts of gambas al ajillo is sponging up the garlicky oil with crusty bread. It’s even better when that bread is pan con tomate, the classic Spanish tapa of toast smeared with fresh tomatoes and glossed with olive oil. ¶ Zabala quickly, effortlessly puts together both dishes, then picks up a shimmering slice of pan con

tomate and observes, “This is a beautiful final product without much work.” He swipes it in the gambas’ sauce. “These are the beautiful things in life.” PAN CON TOMATE 10 minutes. Serves 1 to 2. Pan con tomate is bread, tomato, olive oil, salt and nothing else, so it’s important to get the best of each. Zabala buys pan de cristal from a purveyor in Spain because the outside gets really crunchy while the inside stays a little soft. Ciabatta results in a similar texture and is widely available here. For the tomatoes, Zabala prefers heirloom Cherokee Purples, but any really ripe, flavorful tomatoes will work. And this is a dish where using the highest-quality extra-virgin olive oil makes a difference. Zabala likes Marques de Valdueza, which you can buy online, or any other good Spanish Arbequina oil with fruity notes. 1 pan de cristal or ciabatta
1 ripe tomato, preferably Cherokee Purple Extra-virgin olive oil Coarse sea salt Preheat a broiler. Put the whole bread on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, just until crunchy on the outside, one to two minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, use a bread knife to slice the bread in half as if for a sandwich. Return to the pan, cut sides up and toast until golden and crisp, one to two minutes. Cut the tomato in half through its equator (not from top to bottom). Gently rub the cut side of the tomatoes against the cut sides of the toasted bread to evenly coat the surface with a thin layer of tomato juice and pulp. Generously drizzle olive oil all over the tomato-coated side of the bread and tilt to let the oil run into the craters of the toast. Sprinkle with salt, slice into smaller pieces and serve immediately.
GAMBAS AL AJILLO 15 minutes. Serves 1 to 2. There are countless versions of gambas al ajillo throughout Spain, but all combine shrimp, garlic and olive oil. Zabala adds sherry to round out the flavors and finishes with parsley and lemon zest and juice. He also employs smart techniques to highlight the ingredients. He starts with raw garlic slices in cold oil, then warms both together so the garlic cooks evenly all the way through and infuses the oil with a deep aroma. Zabala does the same with whole dried guindilla chiles, which deliver a smoky spiciness. You can buy them online or in specialty stores, or substitute other small dried red chiles. Finally, Zabala uses a Japanese ceramic donabe pot in place of the traditional Spanish terra cotta for the most even heat distribution, but either works, as does a Dutch oven or heavy skillet. You can double the quantities below for a larger serving; just be sure to use a larger pot as well to avoid overcrowding the shrimp. 4 jumbo or extra-large head-
on, shell-on shrimp, preferably Santa Barbara spot prawns 1 tablespoon canola oil 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more 4 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced Kosher salt 3 dried guindilla or other small red chiles 1 teaspoon dry sherry 1 ⁄2 lemon 3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped Prepare the shrimp by snipping off the legs with kitchen shears. Then carefully push the shells off the bodies. Separate the shrimp heads from the tails by using a sharp knife to cut off the heads with one-third-inch of the tails attached to keep the juices inside the heads. Generously coat the bottom of a medium donabe, terracotta pot or Dutch oven with the canola and olive oils. Add the garlic, sprinkle lightly with salt and set over medium-low heat. Bring to a sizzle, stirring occasionally, until the garlic chips start to dance and turn golden brown around the edges, about two minutes. Don’t let them burn. Transfer the garlic to a paper-towellined plate and reserve. Add the chiles to the hot oil and cook, turning, until a shade darker, about 30 seconds. Transfer to the plate with the garlic. Add the shrimp heads, sprinkle lightly with salt and cook, turning occasionally, for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp tails, sprinkle lightly with salt and cook, turning, for 15 seconds. Return the garlic and chiles to the pot and shake and swirl the pot so the garlic coats everything. Add the sherry and let the alcohol burn out, about one minute. Zest half of the lemon half directly into the pot, then stir in half of the parsley. When the shrimp become opaque and their juices emulsify with the oil into a sauce, remove from the heat. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley, squeeze in a few drops of lemon juice and serve immediately.
Variation Gambas al Ajillo with Shrimp Tails: Substitute eight extra-large or jumbo shrimp tails for the whole shrimp and cook, turning, for 30 seconds before returning the garlic and chiles to the pot. — Recipes adapted from Aitor Zabala
Tater talk: Master this side dish staple Clarion news services
Mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish, capable of being paired with meats, poultry and fish. Few meals wouldn’t benefit from the addition of creamy mashed potatoes. Some food historians say that the original recipe for mashed potatoes originated in 1771, when a Frenchman named Antoine Parmentier hosted a competition on ways to prepare potatoes. Others say that mashed potatoes surely were born in Great Britain in the 1600s, as potatoes were a staple of the English diet at that

noise we could possibly have! We tried to count them. Usually we each came up with a different number. Oddly enough, the noise did not bother our cows and horses. The other thing that made WWII of interest to us was the Life Magazine with all the war pictures — I believe the magazine was in black and white on shiny photo-like paper — and stories. That was when war correspondences wrote great heartfelt article about “our boys overseas,” because they were in the same fields of battle as “our boys.” Dad referred to the men in the service as “our boys.” He often expressed regret for not doing his duty to defend our America because he was classified as 4-F, which meant he was a farmer and farmers were doing the country a great service by supplying grains, beets for sugar and hay for the cattle he raised for the beef that went to “our boys in the service.” The sugar and flour was rationed, as well as the beef and pork. We had tokens that Mom coveted when she made a trip to town to buy a few groceries. The farmers in our neighborhood would give Dad and Mom the extra tokens they did not use, so Mom could make pie, cakes, cookies and jellies that she shared with everyone in the neighborhood.

The grade school we went to was named Cactus Hill Observatory District # 101. And yes, it was on a gravel hill in the middle of a cactus patch. It was dedicated to the school district because it was not farmable land. It just raised school kids! In the spring, we would scope out the cattails that were growing along water ditches. In the fall, walking home from school with big gunny sacks, we would pick the cotton-like cattails for the Army Air Force for insulation in the leather bomber jackets that the pilots all wore. We were so very proud to have our gunny sacks so full. Then the teacher would call some Army guy. They would come out in one of those huge green big-wheeled loud and noisy Army trucks to pick up our few sacks. There was maybe 10 students in the first to the fourth little kids’ room and then in the big kids’ room about 10 or 12 pupils. I was the only one in my class for all eight grades. We all were very proud to do our effort for “our boys.” AND to shake hands with the officers that were driving the Army truck and his helper! We stood tall and quite in line to shake their hand.

Nats topple Brewers By Howard Fendrich Associated Press
Members of the Washington Nationals celebrate after winning a National League wild card baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday in Washington. Washington won 4-3. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
WASHINGTON — After all the heartache and close calls, all the early exits, maybe it makes sense that a 20-yearold kid who had never been to the postseason, Juan Soto, would help the Washington Nationals finally advance in the postseason. And maybe, just maybe, it makes sense that it would be this particular edition of the Nationals, a club that went from 12 games under .500 in May to playoff participant, to demonstrate the necessary never-give-up fortitude when
things looked bleak. Soto delivered a basesloaded single against Milwaukee closer Josh Hader that scored three runs with two outs in the eighth inning, thanks in part to an error by rookie outfielder Trent Grisham, and the Nationals came back to beat the Brewers 4-3 in the NL wild-card game Tuesday night. “We started off horrible, as we all know, and we vowed that we wouldn’t quit,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said, talking about the year as a whole but sounding like he could have meant this particular
evening. “I told the boys, ‘I promise you, stay with it, don’t quit, this will turn around.’ And it did. And here we are today.” The Nationals carry a ninegame winning streak into their best-of-five NL Division Series against the league-best Dodgers. Game 1 is Thursday in Los Angeles, and some in the sellout crowd of 42,993 chanted “Beat LA! Beat LA!” as members of the Nationals lingered on the infield with family members.

Sun draw even with Mystics By Ian Quillen Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Connecticut Sun know they’ll get to play two games at home. The Washington Mystics hope to have Elena Delle Donne back for both of them. Jonquel Jones scored 32 points and grabbed 18 rebounds, and the Sun took advantage of Delle Donne’s early injury exit to beat the Mystics 99-87 in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals on Tuesday night and even the series. “This was our goal, to steal a win on their floor,” said Sun guard Jasmine Thomas. “And now we get to go home and play two in a row.” Alyssa Thomas added 21 points and 12 rebounds, and Courtney Williams had 22 points for the Sun, who dominated the paint after the 6-foot-5 Delle Donne departed in the first quarter with back spasms. The recently crowned league MVP, who averaged 19.5 points and 8.2 rebounds this season, will have an MRI Wednesday. “She’s just had, kind of ongoing, late-in-the-season tightness,” said Mystics coach Mike Thibault. “We’ve been able to treat
it and it’s responded pretty well. But it’s the one nightmare I’ve had the last month, is seeing her lying on her back.” Connecticut outrebounded Washington 41-27 overall and 17-6 on the offensive glass. Jones, who didn’t have an offensive board in the first game, had a WNBA Finals record nine. She also only took eight shots in the series opener, which Connecticut lost 95-86. “I was disappointed in Game 1,” said Jones, who had the most points in the finals since 2011 when Angel McCoughtry had 38 and Seimone Augustus 36. “Disappointed with my lack of getting offensive boards, I had to make a change.” In Game 2, Emma Meeseman scored 22 points off the bench for Washington after spelling Delle Donne early in the first quarter and Tianna Hawkins added 16. Washington’s bench outscored Connecticut’s 52-9. Kristi Toliver was the Mystics’ only starter in double figures with 13 points. Delle Donne finished scoreless after taking just two early shots.

Salazar gets banned from track for 4 years By Eddie Pells AP National Writer
DOHA, Qatar — Alberto Salazar was so excited about a performanceenhancing supplement he was trying out on his runners, he sent an email to none other than Lance Armstrong. “Lance, call me asap!” Salazar wrote to the world’s most famous cyclist, who himself was only months away from being banned for life for doping. “We have tested it, and it’s amazing.” The supplement the track coach was so jazzed about back in 2011 was called L-carnitine, and Salazar was preparing to have it infused into his runners’ systems so it could take effect in time to help them for the upcoming Olympics in London. It was part of a series of doping experiments being bankrolled and supported by Nike, including an encouraging email from the CEO about one of Salazar’s updates. Problem was, none of the runners were quite sure what the effects were. More importantly, the athletes on Salazar’s Nike Oregon Project team weren’t always
positive about what medications were being given, and how much. Some athletes expressed their concerns to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, thus sparking a six-year investigation that culminated Tuesday with Salazar, a former marathon champion and America’s preeminent distance training coach, receiving a fouryear ban from his sport and being kicked out of the track and field world championships in Doha. “The athletes in these cases found the courage to speak out and ultimately exposed the truth,” USADA CEO Travis Tygart said. USADA released a pair of 100-plus-page decisions by an arbitration panel that delivered the suspensions for both Salazar and Dr. Jeffrey Brown, the endocrinologist who did contract work for NOP and administered the medicine. The documents, combined with earlier reporting spearheaded by the BBC and ProPublica , paint a picture of a coach and doctor who used athletes, employees and, See ban, Page A9

SoHi volleyball sweeps Nikiski By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
In building a strong season resume, the Soldotna Stars volleyball team has checked all the boxes in winning the games they ought to be winning. One of those boxes is the defending Class 3A state champion and rival peninsula squad Nikiski, which the Class 4A Stars have gone undefeated against in 2019. SoHi swept Nikiski 3-0 Tuesday night on Nikiski’s home floor, winning with scores of 25-11, 25-22 and 25-23, helping the Stars improve to 8-0 in nontournament play this fall, and 3-0 against the Bulldogs in nonconference play. With the competitive window that Nikiski finds itself in, the peninsula rivalry that the two teams have cultivated has been must-watch volleyball in recent years. “They’re the best team on the peninsula,” said Nikiski head coach Stacey Segura. This year, the Stars have had Nikiski’s number. Firstyear SoHi varsity coach Luke Baumer said he stressed to his team Tuesday not to get too creative against a team that he knew SoHi could beat. “The biggest thing for us was making sure to do the
basics and not getting ahead of ourselves,” Baumer said. “We tend to get a nice, big lead, and then we tend to start to get fancy. We start to do too many shoots and slides and all these other types of really fast, offensive plays, instead of realizing, we’re not in (our) system, we’re not in sync. I told them tonight the key is the basics. “I want to pass, I want to set, I want to hit.” The front line of seniors Ituau Tuisaula, Bailey Armstrong and Kylie Ness and junior Morgan Bouschor helped stymie a Nikiski defense notorious for keeping rallies alive and balls inside the lines. Instead, the Bulldogs gave away numerous points on balls falling outside the court. “I feel like we’re one of the best side-out teams,” Baumer said. Tuisaula dominated the court with 16 kills and four blocks for SoHi, while Armstrong notched five kills and three blocks. Bouschor added four kills and Ness had three. Helping the offense was junior Sierra Kuntz with 24 assists, while senior libero Holleigh Jaime had nine digs on defense and Ness had six. Segura said after taking two important Southcentral

Conference matches from Anchorage and Grace Christian schools last weekend, the Bulldogs were faced with a change in pace. “We’re coming off two games that I felt were slower for us, so we knew this game was going to be much faster,” Segura said. “We were just making the adjustments to
the speed tonight, and struggling with it. Especially in the first game.” SoHi scored the first five points to start the night en route to taking a daunting 8-1 lead in the first set. It established a trend for SoHi throughout the match, as the See set, Page A9

Stars got off to fast starts in all three sets. “I think the girls wanted to do so well, that they were overthinking it,” Segura said. “I think once they realized that SoHi’s going to come out and not going to back down, it’s a different story.” In Game 1, SoHi took a lead of 14-5 before Nikiski was forced to call timeout, but the speed continued to give the Bulldogs fits as Tuisaula pummeled down kill shots. In Game 2, SoHi staked out a lead of 5-1 to again force Nikiski to work out of a hole. The Bulldogs did with help from senior

“She’s such a big part of what they do. You don’t want to wish injury on anyone, but we knew it was a chance to steal one here,” Jones said. Even so, after Connecticut led by as many as 14 points in the second quarter, the Mystics fought back from a 10-point halftime deficit to tie it briefly.

in one case, even Salazar’s own sons, as guinea pigs to test theories on how supplements and medicine could enhance performance without breaking anti-doping rules. The documents also show they went to great lengths to produce falsified and incomplete medical records that made their master plan hard to detect. Behind it all was the
Kaycee Bostic, who led Nikiski with six kills, two blocks and three aces. Nikiski also got 15 digs from America Jeffreys, six digs from Rosalie Anderson and eight assists from Kaitlyn Johnson. SoHi held an 18-12 lead before Nikiski pieced together a furious 8-0 rally to grab a 20-19 lead, forcing SoHi to call timeout. From there, Tuisaula and Armstrong responded with three straight points, including two service points by Armstrong. It was SoHi again taking an early lead in Game 3 at 5-2. Nikiski came back to tie it at 16-all, but a couple of service points from junior Abbie Fullenwider gave SoHi a lead it wouldn’t give up again.
on Toliver’s feed to cut it to 71-69 late in the third to complete a 7-0 run. Toliver’s runner evened it at 76-all with 8:14 left in the game. The Sun responded with a 6-0 spurt to take the lead for good. Jones hit a putback before Williams added a pair of inside buckets, the latter after two offensive rebounds from Jones, to make it 82-76. “J.J. was going crazy today,” Williams said. “I told her I felt like I could put up the ball from half court and she was going to look out for me and get the rebound.”
world’s largest sportswear company. Nike wrote the contracts and paid the athletes, making it difficult for them to refuse the direction of their revered coach and his hand-picked doctor. It “will be interesting to determine the minimal amount of topical male hormone required to create a positive test,” Nike CEO Mark Parker wrote to Brown in an email exchange about an experiment Salazar was conducting on his sons with testosterone gel.
Today in History Today is Wednesday, Oct. 2, the 275th day of 2019. There are 90 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 2, 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court as the court opened its new term. On this date: In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a serious stroke at the White House that left him paralyzed on his left side. In 1941, during World War II, German armies launched an all-out drive against Moscow; Soviet forces succeeded in holding onto their capital. In 1944, German troops crushed the two-month-old Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people had been killed. In 1950, the comic strip “Peanuts,” created by Charles M. Schulz, was syndicated to seven newspapers. In 1970, one of two chartered twin-engine planes flying the Wichita State University football team to Utah crashed into a mountain near Silver Plume, Colorado, killing 31 of the 40 people on board. In 1971, the music program “Soul Train” made its debut in national syndication. In 1984, Richard W. Miller became the first FBI agent to be arrested and charged with espionage. (Miller was tried three times; he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but was released after nine years.) In 1985, actor Rock Hudson, 59, died at his home in Beverly Hills, California, after battling AIDS. In 2002, the Washington, D.C.-area sniper attacks began, setting off a frantic manhunt lasting three weeks. (John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were finally arrested for killing 10 people and wounding three others; Muhammad was executed in 2009; Malvo was sentenced to life in prison.) In 2005, a tour boat, the Ethan Allen, capsized on New York’s Lake George, killing 20 elderly passengers. Playwright August Wilson died in Seattle at age 60. Actor-comedian Nipsey Russell died in New York at age 87. In 2013, a jury in Los Angeles cleared a concert promoter of negligence, rejecting a lawsuit brought by Michael Jackson’s mother claiming AEG Live had been negligent in hiring Conrad Murray, the doctor who killed the pop star with an overdose of a hospital anesthetic. In 2017, rock superstar Tom Petty died at a Los Angeles hospital at the age of 66, a day after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Malibu, California. Ten years ago: The International Olympic Committee, meeting in Copenhagen, chose Rio de Janeiro to be the site of the 2016 Summer Olympics; Chicago was eliminated in the first round, despite a last-minute in-person appeal by President Barack Obama. A man accused of stalking ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and secretly videotaping her inside her hotel room was arrested at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. (Michael David Barrett later pleaded guilty to interstate stalking and was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in federal prison.) Five years ago: President Barack Obama acknowledged his pivotal role in the midterm political campaign, arguing in a speech at Northwestern University that the November congressional elections were a referendum on his economic policies and blaming Republicans for blocking his efforts to boost wages and create more jobs. Hong Kong’s embattled leader, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, refused demands by pro-democracy protesters to step down. One year ago: President Donald Trump ignited a crowd at a campaign rally in Mississippi by mocking Christine Blasey Ford over her claim that she had been sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh decades ago; Trump also said it’s a “very scary time for young men in America” who could be considered guilty based on an accusation. The New York Times reported that Trump had received at least $413 million from his father over the decades, much of it through dubious tax dodges including outright fraud; a lawyer for Trump told the Times that there was no “fraud or tax evasion.” Amazon announced a minimum wage of $15 an hour for its U.S. employees. (Some longtime workers said the higher pay wouldn’t make up for benefits they were losing.) Today’s Birthdays: Retired MLB All-Star Maury Wills is 87. Movie critic Rex Reed is 81. Singer-songwriter Don McLean is 74. Cajun/country singer Jo-el Sonnier is 73. Actor Avery Brooks is 71. Fashion designer Donna Karan is 71. Photographer Annie Leibovitz is 70.

Low budget squads meet for AL wild card OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Bob Melvin has been counting on his young Oakland Athletics to build on last season’s playoff return that ended in a lopsided wildcard loss at Yankee Stadium. Gain some experience under pressure. Get a little feel for October baseball. Understand how much has to go right to win on the big stage. Reaching the Division Series again would be a significant step this easygoing group knows it must take now. The A’s have lost eight straight winner-take-all games since 2000, going 1-14 with a chance to advance to the next round. Their only win was in 2006 against the Twins before being swept in the AL Championship Series
MLB From Page A8
to Washington from Montreal before the 2005 season, had been 0-3 in winner-takeall postseason games — all NLDS Game 5 losses at home, by a grand total of four runs. Indeed, eight of their past nine playoff losses had been by one run apiece. This time, it went the other way.
by the Tigers. The timing seems perfect for these A’s to make a major statement in the East Bay if they can win Wednesday night against the Rays: the Golden State Warriors left for San Francisco and the Oakland Raiders are relocating to Las Vegas. Oakland’s own MC Hammer will get things started by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Coliseum, where more than 50,000 are expected to pack the ballpark with the upper deck seats open. “I’ve never pitched in front of 50,000 people,” said A’s left-hander Sean Manaea, who will be making his first playoff start at age 27 and after missing nearly a year following shoulder surgery.
This is a wild-card matchup featuring two of baseball’s lowest-spending franchises — Tampa Bay ranks last at $66.4 million while Oakland sits 25th at $95.3 million. The A’s won 97 games, the Rays 96. The teams have never met before in the playoffs, and they haven’t seen each other this season since June. Many consider these clubs mirror images of one another, each with ballpark concerns, and there are plenty of other similarities — not to mention a lot to gain. The Rays return to the playoffs for the first time since 2013. “Certainly appreciate the Bay Area’s support, and if the magnitude of this game
helps that, we’re better for it,” Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. The slugging A’s got back to the playoffs last season for the first time in four years before a 7-2 road defeat to the Yankees. “I knew last year this team was good,” Rays starter and Cy Young Award candidate Charlie Morton said. “The A’s being good is good for baseball.” Morton went 16-6 with a 3.05 ERA and 240 strikeouts. He allowed just one run in 13 1/3 innings against the A’s this season. For weeks, Tampa Bay planned for Morton to start this game if the Rays made it. “We wouldn’t want anybody else out there right now,” Cash said.
“We’ve been here a bunch of times. Never kind of broke through,” said Ryan Zimmerman, the Nationals’ first draft pick back in 2005, so someone who has been through all the disappointment. “Finally caught a break tonight.” It was Zimmerman’s broken-bat bloop single as a pinch hitter that helped load the bases in the eighth off Hader, who took the loss. Hader hit another pinch hitter, Michael A. Taylor, an initial ruling that stood
up when the Brewers challenged, according to Major League Baseball, because there wasn’t “clear and convincing evidence to overturn the call.” Said Hader: “Definitely looked like it got the bat, but it also got his hand.” Hader, who had 37 saves this season, also walked Anthony Rendon, filling the bags and bringing Soto to the plate. What was Soto thinking right then? “Just get a base hit up the middle,” he said, “and try to help to tie the game.” The runner-up for 2018 NL Rookie of the Year did more than that. Soto ripped a 96 mph fastball to right, and the ball skipped under Grisham’s glove for an error. That allowed the go-ahead run to cross the plate and Soto to get to second, then turn for third. Eventually, Soto was caught in a rundown to end the inning, but that didn’t matter: He had turned a 3-1 deficit into a lead, and so he clapped his hands, then pounded his chest and highfived third base coach Bob Henley, before shouting “Let’s go!” and its Spanish equivalent, “Vamonos!” “The inning was an ugly inning,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “Crazy things happen.”
Grisham, who has appeared in only 51 games in the majors, said the ball “came in with a little topspin, took a funny hop.” His teammates tried to console a tearful Grisham with a series of hugs in the clubhouse afterward. “It’s gonna sting,” he said. After Max Scherzer fell behind 3-0 by giving up homers to Yasmani Grandal in the first and Eric Thames in the second, Stephen Strasburg replaced him in the sixth and threw three scoreless innings to earn the win in the first relief appearance of his major league career, regular season or playoffs. Daniel Hudson pitched the ninth for the save, getting Ben Gamel to fly out to the warning track in center with a man on to end it. “Hats off for us to for continuing to fight, because we know if we could keep it close we could have a chance at the end,” said Trea Turner, who got Washington within 3-1 with a solo shot off Brandon Woodruff in the third. It wasn’t until the eighth, though, that the Nationals would push more runs across. Just the sort of dramatic turnaround they pulled off this season, going from 19-31 in May to playoff team. And now it continues.

DEAR ABBY: I have some friends — a married couple — who are very dear to me but who drain me emotionally. The husband has been disabled for well over a decade. Although they have a home care nurse, the wife is his primary caregiver. I know their situation is horrible, and I have offered my help only to be refused. They won’t let anyone help, yet the wife is always complaining that she has no help. The husband is very angry and nasty to her, and her behavior has become passive-aggressive toward him. The only conversations we have anymore are about how horribly they are treated by the other one. It’s like they’re competing to see who is the bigger victim. The wife calls when she needs to vent, but vetoes any suggestions. We have a long history together, but it has reached the point where I dread talking to them. I hate to withdraw, but I am emotionally drained. What should I do? — EXHAUSTED IN THE SOUTH
Crossword | Eugene Sheffer
DEAR EXHAUSTED: It’s time to tell these unhappy people what you told me. They may not like hearing what you have to say, so be prepared. Suggest the wife join a caregiver support group. The other members will relate to what has been happening and may be able to offer her some suggestions. The husband is angry because his life hasn’t turned out the way he had planned, but that doesn’t mean he has a right to abuse her. A licensed marriage and family therapist might be able to help them repair their damaged relationship if it isn’t too late. And while you’re at it, tell them that unless they stop dragging you into their dysfunction, for the sake of your own mental health you will have to have less to do with them. It’s the truth. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Homer voters approve plastic bag ban; Evensen leading By Megan Pacer Homer News
Homer has a new city council member in political newcomer Joey Evensen, and voters have approved a ban on retailers providing thin, single-use plastic bags within city limits. Current council member Shelly Erickson is leading in votes for the second open city council seat by only 26 votes. Voting was steady during the first part of the day at the Homer precinct at Homer City Hall, with a line of people filling the lobby and 292 votes cast by 1:30 p.m. According to unofficial election results from the City Clerk’s office, there are still 262 absentee votes to be counted. Voter turnout was 28 percent in Homer. Proposition A asked voters within city limits whether they wanted to amend Homer City Code to prohibit sellers from providing a buyer with a single-use plastic carry out bag, if
that bag was less than 2.5 mils thick. Voters approved the bag ban with 748 yes votes to 406 no votes. Homer was actually the first city on the Kenai Peninsula to ban these kinds of very-thin plastic bags back in 2012 through an ordinance at the city council level. However, that measure was repealed after a successful citizen initiative made it onto the next election ballot in 2013. Since then, Soldotna and Seward have passed bag bans of their own, as have other towns and cities like Wasilla and Anchorage. Council member Caroline Venuti brought the issue up again in 2018, saying at the time she thought Homer was more ready to revisit a potential banning of thin plastic bags. She originally brought it forward as a city ordinance to be voted on by the council, like in 2012, but she and the council decided against that after considerable public comment and feedback. The measure was eventually included on the election ballot to
go before voters instead. In Homer, the ban only applies to a very specific, thin kind of plastic bag. It’s the kind of bag which supporters of the ban say add to the issue of pollution, nationally and here at home. According to the New York Times, only a small portion of the more than 100 billion lightweight plastic bags people use every year are ever recycled. Locally, scientists and concerned citizens have testified to the city council that the bags pose a threat to marine life in Kachemak Bay, since they easily break into smaller pieces when they hit the water, making them extremely difficult to remove from the environment. The change in city code will be effective starting Jan. 1, 2020. Sellers will be able to continue providing thin, single-use plastic bags after that date until their existing inventory runs out. Paper bags or bags thicker than 2.5 mils will not be prohibited should retailers opt to provide
them. While paper bags do take significantly more energy to create, they also degrade faster in the environment. Homer resident Dennis Krumm said he voted in favor of prohibiting single-use plastic bags within city limits because he thinks residents don’t need them. “Plastics are killing the planet, you know?” he said. “You hear about it on all the NPR shows. Microplastics are killing our fish and wildlife. We need to extremely reduce plastic usage.” Krumm said plastic is good to use for plenty of other things, like in cars, for example. “But they don’t really get into the environment and they’re used for years at a stretch, right?” he said. “It’s these five-minute throwaways.” Resident Dean Kildaw also said he voted in favor of the bag ban because plastic pollution affects marine life, and Homer is a place that relies on marine fisheries. “We’ve got to take care of our
environment if we want to keep (that),” he said. “And even though the bag issue and the plastic pollution is affecting another part of the world, we’ve got to think globally.” Pamela Hall, on the other hand, said she voted against the proposed ban on single-use plastic bags because of what she sees as an issue being caused by other parts of the world. “The pollution is coming from China and Asia, and I agree straws, plastic bags … but we’re not adding to it.” she said. “You know, if they want to go after those people, I would be more for it, but I reuse my bags, too.” Brandy Super also voted against the bag ban. “I’m looking at really the longterm impact on even some of our other business owners,” she said. “Like restaurants and stuff like that. You know, they’re having to charge their customer extra money even for them and it puts people in a hard spot.”
