New name for bay
JUNEAU — A federal board has approved changing the name of a Southeast Alaska bay following a petition from tribal leaders, officials said. The U.S. Board on Geographic Names approved changing the name of Saginaw Bay to Skanax Bay last week, CoastAlaska reported. Three Tlingit villages east of Sitka were destroyed by the U.S.S. Saginaw in 1869.

ACLU: State prisons are overcrowded According to a report by the group, Wildwood Correctional Center in Kenai was found to be over maximum capacity for 226 days. By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
Wildwood Correctional Center in Kenai was over maximum capacity for more than 200 days between Oct. 1, 2018 and Oct. 15, 2019, according to a report released Nov. 14 by the American Civil
Liberties Union. According to the report, which was based on a state records request to the Alaska Department of Corrections, Wildwood was one of eight state correctional facilities found to be overcrowded during that time period, and one of three found to be
overcapacity for more than 200 days. While the average days spent overcapacity among state facilities was 140 days, Wildwood was found to be over maximum capacity for 226 days. When a prison meets or exceeds maximum capacity, incarcerated people may sleep in cots or bunks in recreational areas and in solitary confinement. In October, Department of Corrections
Commissioner Nancy Dahlstrom announced plans to relocate Alaska inmates to private prisons in the Lower 48 because state prisons were operating at 97% of their maximum capacity. Rep. Gary Knopp, R-Kenai/ Soldotna, said he does not support sending inmates out of state, and probably never will. “I don’t think I’ll ever find a comfort level with sending inmates out of state,”
Knopp said. “They are our responsibility.” Overcrowding conditions appear to be ongoing at Wildwood. Between the Oct. 1-15, Wildwood Pretrial Facility met or exceeded it maximum capacity of 115 people on five days. In the same time period, Wildwood Correctional Center, a sentenced facility, operated above its See prisons, Page A2

Anchorage police arrest assault, kidnap suspect ANCHORAGE — A 25-year-old woman suspected of kidnapping and sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman who gave her a ride has turned herself in. The Anchorage Daily News reports Nellie Serradell was taken to a hospital for treatment of medical issues. Police say Serradell asked the 18-year-old woman for a ride to work Sunday morning. At a mall parking lot, Serradell punched the teen, said she had a gun, and sexually assaulted her. Police say Serradellordered her to drive to another location. The woman pulled into a gas station and escaped.

The rotation schedule would be made available to the public. Leslie Rohr, executive director for Love, INC, said that five local churches have volunteered to be a part of the program so far. Karen Martin Tichenor is the pastor at Soldotna United Methodist Church — one of the churches that have signed up for the shelter — and also runs the Soldotna Food Pantry.

ANCHORAGE — The U.S. research vessel Sikuliaq can break through ice as thick as 2.5 feet. In the Chukchi Sea northwest of Alaska this month, which should be brimming with floes, its limits likely won’t be tested. University of Washington researchers left Nome on Nov. 7 on the 261-foot ship, crossed through the Bering Strait and will record observations at multiple sites including Utqiagvik, formerly Barrow, America’s northernmost community. Sea ice is creeping toward the city from the east in the Beaufort Sea, but to find sea ice in the Chukchi, the Sikuliaq would have to head northwest for about 200 miles. In the new reality of the U.S. Arctic, open water is the November norm for the Chukchi. Instead of thick, years-old ice, researchers are studying waves and how they may pummel the northern

Members of a shelter development work group meet at the Independent Living Center in Soldotna to discuss the establishment of an emergency cold-weather shelter on the peninsula on Tuesday.
‘We want to see this shelter yesterday’ As winter approaches, work group looks to train volunteers By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
With several days of below-freezing temperatures expected in Kenai next week, local efforts to establish an emergency cold-weather shelter on the peninsula are kicking into high gear. A work group made up of local ministers, agency directors, city council members and concerned citizens has been meeting once a month for the past year with two primary goals: establishing an emergency shelter that can be used by homeless families and individuals when the temperature in Kenai drops below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and securing a permanent location for transitional
housing opportunities. Emergency shelter options on the peninsula are currently limited to the LeeShore Center and Haven House, which provide shelter to women and their children who are victims of domestic violence, and Friendship Mission, which provides shelter for men. During the shelter work group meeting on Tuesday, members discussed what training would be needed for volunteers and what barriers were left to overcome before they could get the emergency shelter up and running. Inspired by a model used in Anchorage, the emergency cold-weather shelter will be a network of seven churches that are assigned one day a week to open
National Security aide faces fire from Republicans By Lisa Mascaro and Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A career Army officer on Donald Trump’s National Security Council testified Tuesday he was duty-bound to object to the president’s clearly “improper” phone call seeking Ukrainian investigations of U.S. Democrats. Republicans answered him with doubts about his loyalty to the United States. Arriving on Capitol Hill in military blue with medals across his chest, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman told impeachment investigators he felt no hesitation in reporting the president’s request of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Vindman, a 20-year military officer who received a Purple Heart for being wounded in the Iraq War, was among the officials who listened in to the July 25 call

when Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for “a favor” — investigations of Democrat Joe Biden and other issues. “It was inappropriate, it was improper for the
president to request, to demand an investigation into a political opponent,” Vindman told the House Intelligence Committee. His testimony launched a pivotal week as the House’s
historic impeachment investigation reaches further into Trump’s White House. Democrats say Trump’s pressure on Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden while withholding
U.S. military aid to Kyiv may be grounds for removing the 45th president. Republicans have argued both that there was no linkage between the two matters and that there would be nothing inappropriate even if there was. In a remarkable day of back-to-back hearings, Vindman testified alongside Jennifer Williams, an adviser in Vice President Mike Pence’s office. Both said they had concerns as they listened to Trump speak with the newly elected Ukrainian president about political investigations into Biden. Trump insists Zelenskiy did not feel pressured and has cast the impeachment probe as a partisan affair aimed at pushing him from office. The White House lashed out at the Army officer. It wasn’t the first time Vindman was alarmed over the administration’s push See aide, Page A3

maximum capacity every single day, the release said. State records also show that between September 2018 and September 2019, there was a 20% increase in unsentenced individuals who were incarcerated without having been convicted of a crime. “At this point, roughly half of Alaskans in our state’s prisons are unsentenced,” ACLU of Alaska Policy Director Triada Stampas said in the release. “The ugly truth of that is this; many of those individuals are already at a physical and socioeconomic disadvantage. Overcrowding in state prisons can be damaging to anyone’s health, safety, and rehabilitation, but especially so for those already preyed upon by systemic biases built into the criminal justice system.” In the release, Stampas said overcrowding issues are not unique to Alaska. She said that since 1970, the U.S. prison population rose by 700% as a result of policy decisions, not crime. Solutions to overcrowding that have been successful in other places include increased use of electric monitoring, early release and alternatives to incarceration for those with substance abuse issues and mental health disabilities, Stampas said. “Shipping inmates away, or building more prisons, doesn’t solve the problems, reduce victims, or save money,” Stampas said in the release. “It just creates more beds for a dysfunctional system to fill.” ACLU Alaska has a list of criminal justice reforms they say would reduce Alaska’s prison population from 4,237 to 2,013, while also saving the state $337 million, according to its website. Proposed reforms include reducing the average time served between 40% and 60% for public order offenses, assault, drug offenses, theft, driving while under the influence, robbery, burglary, weapons offenses and fraud, according to the website.

to have Ukraine investigate Democrats, he testified. He highlighted a July 10 meeting at the White House when Ambassador Gordon Sondland told visiting Ukraine officials they would need to “deliver” before next steps — a meeting Zelenskiy wanted with Trump. “Ambassador Sondland referred to investigations into the Bidens and Burisma in 2016,” he testified, referring to the gas company in Ukraine where Joe Biden’s son Hunter served on the board. On both occasions, Vindman said, he took his concerns about the shifting Ukraine policy to the lead counsel at the NSC, John Eisenberg. An immigrant who came to the U.S. as a toddler from Ukraine, Vindman opened

his testimony by assuring his father that in America he would be “fine for telling the truth.” Yet Vindman spent long stretches fielding Republican attacks on his loyalty and his career in public service. The Republicans’ lead counsel asked at one point about an offer he got from a Ukrainian official to become the country’s defense minister. Vindman called it “comical” and said he swiftly reported it up his chain of command. “I’m an American,” Vindman said. “And I immediately dismissed these offers.” Later Tuesday, the House committee heard from former NSC official Timothy Morrison and Kurt Volker, the former Ukraine special envoy, who said he hadn’t understood the scope of the investigations Sondland and Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney, were pursuing for Trump.
Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, is to appear Wednesday as the most-anticipated witness yet. At the White House, Trump said he watched part of the day’s testimony and slammed the ongoing impeachment hearings as a “disgrace.” Over the weekend, he had assailed Williams as part of the “Never Trumpers” who oppose his presidency, though there is no indication she has shown any partisanship. Vindman was ready to defend his loyalty to the United States. When the top Republican on the committee, Rep. Devin Nunes, addressed him as “Mr. Vindman,” the colonel reminded him to address him by his rank. He also deflected Republican efforts to get him to divulge everyone he told about the Trump call — thwarting Trump allies’
attempts to identify the anonymous whistleblower who spurred the impeachment probe. Nunes bore down once Vindman acknowledged one person he talked to was from the intelligence community. The whistleblower is a CIA official, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Vindman said he does not know who the whistleblower is. He has previously said it is not him. Trump ally Jim Jordan asked if he ever leaked information. “Never did, never would,” Vindman answered. Republicans were eager to hear during the afternoon from Morrison, who had supervised Vindman at the NSC. “He had concerns about Vindman’s judgment,” the White House tweeted. But Morrison, who has since left the administration, told lawmakers he was not there to question his former colleagues’ “character or
integrity” and did not intend to out the whistleblower. Morrison, who was also listening to Trump’s call, worried its disclosure would not play well in polarized Washington, and reported it to the NSC’s top lawyer. He testified about his sinking feeling after Sondland told him Trump wanted Zelenskiy to announce the investigations before releasing the military aid. A colleague warned him of “the Gordon problem,” he said. Vindman is being provided security by the U.S. Army and local law enforcement, according to a U.S. official. The official said the Army is prepared to take additional steps, if needed, including moving Vindman and his family to a more secure location on a base. Williams, a career State Department official who has worked for three presidential administrations and counts former Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice a “personal hero,” said the Trump phone call was the first time she had heard anyone specifically seeking investigations from Ukraine. The reference to Biden and his son Hunter “struck me as political in nature.” Williams testified the call was unlike about a dozen others she had heard from presidents over her career. When the White House produced a rough transcript later that day, she put it in Vice President Pence’s briefing materials. “I just don’t know if he read it,” she testified earlier in her closed-door House interview. Pence’s role throughout the impeachment inquiry has been unclear. The vice president’s national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, issued a statement saying he “heard nothing wrong or improper on the call.”
nearly solved, the work group then turned to volunteer recruitment and training. Jennifer Waller, founder of Freedom House, agreed to coordinate the volunteer training, noting that her staff had recently finished a course in mental health first aid. The work group members agreed that volunteers would need to at least be trained in mental health first aid, workplace safety, standard
first aid including CPR and Narcan administration, conflict resolution, abuse and neglect reporting and trauma-informed care. All volunteers would also require background checks. Kim Haviland, case manager with the Veteran’s Administration HUD/VASH program, said that would add up to about three days of training for each volunteer. Rohr said that they will be
relying on volunteers from local churches in order to fully staff the shelters, which will require two men and two women on any given night. Greg Meyer, executive director of the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank, said that they have more than enough food to provide meals at the shelters. Due to regulations on food commodities, Meyer said, the meals would need to be cooked at the Food Bank
and then delivered to whichever church is being used at the time. As far as shelter capacity, the group currently has access to 18 sleeping mats and 18 blankets and are hoping to house 10 to 20 people per night. Tichenor noted that if the shelter is to prioritize families with children — which is currently the intent — that could only end up being enough room for a
few families a night. Waller said that starting small would still be better than the current situation and would leave the shelter with room to grow as needed. “As far as the number goes, right now we have zero,” Waller said. “So 10 would be a good start.” The group will be meeting next at noon on Dec. 3 in the Independent Living Center on Kalifornsky Beach Road.

U.S. Census requires all to participate
W
ith the calendar soon turning over to a “0” year, it’s time once again for the important business of conducting a nationwide census, an activity mandated to take place every 10 years in an effort to get a complete count of the country’s population. The U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section II) stipulates the census take place, and the results are used for numerous purposes, including determining the number of seats each state will hold in the House of Representatives. For example, Texas gained four seats in the House as a result of the 2010 census. The information gathered in the census also dictates how billions of dollars in federal funds are distributed each year for critical public services such as hospitals, schools, roads, bridges and emergency response, according to information from the U.S. Census website. The first census began just more than a year after the inauguration of George Washington and before the second session of the first Congress ended. Data from the six-question survey was overseen by then Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson with the 1790 census assigned to marshals of U.S. judicial districts. Although questions beyond obtaining the count have been ruled constitutional, the goal of the census is to count each person one time only in the right place. A complete and thorough count is critical. Once finished, information can be used by residents to support community initiatives involving legislation, quality-of-life and consumer advocacy; businesses use the information to inform decisions about where to build factories, offices and stores. These new businesses, in turn, contribute to a community’s job growth. Local governments leverage the data to not only ensure public safety but also plan new schools and hospitals. Real estate developers and city planners also benefit from the info, using it to plan new developments and improve neighborhoods. With the new year now just mere weeks away, census officials have ramped up their efforts to educate people about upcoming milestones and why the census matters so much. “We’re trying to educate our public about the upcoming 2020 census,” said Elva Yanez, Dallas Regional Census Center partnership specialist, during a recent presentation in Amarillo. “It happens every 10 years, and it’s rolling around really fast. We’re trying to make sure everyone gets counted.” Toward that end, the Census Bureau recently launched a handful of public service announcements as part of its approach to build awareness of the upcoming census. The PSAs, designed for television, radio and online, look to answer typical questions around census activities such as why young children are often undercounted (estimates suggest 1 million young children were missed in the last census) and how to complete a census form. According to census officials, data ultimately determines how almost $700 billion is spent on funds that support state, county and community programs. The census is scheduled to be available by mid-March with efforts on gathering a complete count ending July 31. For the first time, respondents can participate online. Officially, Census Day is April 1. “It’s very simple, takes only about 10 minutes and is 10 questions, and you can still respond by phone and by mail,” Yanez said in our story. “And if none of that occurs, that is when census takers will come to your door and ask to assist.” The emphasis from those responsible for accumulating the information is for people to self-respond, assuring residents that individual responses are kept private and no personal information is solicited. “Whenever an individual responds, it is confidential,” she said. “We cannot share with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement); we cannot share with immigration or any other government agencies.” Individual responses also cannot be used against people to determine their eligibility for federal assistance. Likewise, census representatives do not ask for Social Security numbers, bank or credit card account numbers, money or donations or anything on behalf of a political party. In other words, they have one job to do — count people. Certainly, society has grown more complex and complicated in the 200 plus years since the 1790 census, and the job of obtaining a complete count is more challenging than ever as the country has grown in number (estimated 330 million people these days), diversity (basic census information is now available in more than a dozen languages on the organization’s website) and mobility. The community that ultimately benefits from these efforts will be your own. — Amarillo Globe-News. Nov 17
letter to the editor
We will not give up on Duffy My niece, Duffy, has been taken from me. I miss her, I’m worried about her, I can’t stop thinking about her. Unless you have had a loved one abducted, you can only imagine the agony I feel. This is a message to her abductors, I don’t know if they read the Peninsula Clarion or not. Duffy is not a loner, she has a family and friends. Her
abduction is causing unbelievable pain. Hearing her mother cry for the loss of her baby is heartbreaking. So many people care about Duffy, $10,000 has been collected as a reward. Nobody is going to give up the hunt for her. It will continue until she is found. Give Duffy back to us. — Katrina Phipps, of Everett, Washington

Buttigieg on the rise; could face attacks By Bill Barrow Associated Press
ATLANTA — Pete Buttigieg’s dramatic rise from little-known Indiana mayor to a leading Democratic presidential candidate faces its toughest test on Wednesday, with rivals poised to lob debate-stage attacks in an effort to stall his momentum. The debate in Atlanta marks the first time Buttigieg will face other White House hopefuls as an undisputed member of the top tier. The 37-year old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, gained significant ground in recent months in Iowa, which holds the nation’s first caucuses in February. He is bunched at the top of most polls in Iowa with candidates who have much longer political resumes: former Vice President Joe Biden and Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Some surveys are beginning to show him taking a more convincing lead. Buttigieg still faces plenty of hurdles to clinching the Democratic nomination, particularly winning over black and other minority voters. But his Iowa rise means he could come under fire from his rivals like never before. “Anytime a candidate pops up above the pack, there’s a vigorous effort to vet them,” said Democratic strategist Zac Petkanas. “Buttigieg is going to have to prove that his recent rise is not just a flash in the pan.” Biden, Warren and Sanders have all faced similar scrutiny in previous debates, and those attacks did little to change the trajectory of the race. The debate will unfold at a moment of uncertainty about the Democratic field, with some in the party, particularly donors, worried there’s no one positioned to defeat President Donald Trump. Former President Barack Obama took the unusual step last week of warning the party against moving too far to the left. Speaking to that anxiety, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick entered the Democratic race last week.
Watch the debate The debate airs on MSNBC from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Alaska time. Billionaire Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor, is openly flirting with a bid. Neither Patrick nor Bloomberg will be onstage Wednesday. With less than three months before voting, much of the nation’s political attention would typically be focused on the primary. Instead, the focus is on the impeachment inquiry against Trump. Hours before the debate, Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, will testify before Congress in an appearance that will be closely watched for new evidence that Trump pressured leaders in Ukraine to find damaging information about Biden. Some campaigns have privately questioned whether a debate against the backdrop of impeachment would have much impact. Still, for the candidates at the bottom of the polls, nothing provides the opportunity for a breakout moment like two hours of exposure on national television. “We’re at the phase in the campaign where voters are beginning to make decisions, and they’re beginning to see which of these candidates can go up against Trump and which can serve as president,” said Jesse Ferguson, who worked for Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. “This is the time period where people start making decisions and locking in, regardless of what’s going on in Washington.” New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker faces especially intense pressure. He’s yet to meet the Democratic National Committee’s polling requirements for the December debate. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar offered the model last month by repeatedly calling for a “reality check” on Warren and her sweeping progressive agenda. Klobuchar’s campaign said the subsequent few days were her
best fundraising period yet. But it still hasn’t shown up in national or most early state polls. For California Sen. Kamala Harris, it’s the first debate since cutting her operation in New Hampshire, the first primary state, and concentrating on Iowa. Like Klobuchar, Harris has qualified for the December stage but needs more than the minimum polling performance to make any serious play for the nomination. That trio of senators could see Buttigieg’s resume as a prime target, with his political experience limited to running a city of about 100,000 residents. The Buttigieg campaign expects the scrutiny and has taken an increasingly tough posture. The mayor was noticeably more aggressive during the October debate, joining Klobuchar with a more moderate argument against Warren’s and Sanders’ policy pitches for single-payer government health insurance, among other ideas. This is the first debate since Warren said she would gradually guide the country to a “Medicare for All” system if elected president. The move prompted criticism from Sanders, who is arguing for a more immediate shift to a singlepayer system, and has left her open to skepticism from moderates who say her plan is unworkable and could feed into Trump’s criticism of Democrats as socialists. Warren and Biden have been viewed as front-runners in recent months but have yet to take each other on directly enough to define previous debates. They have, however, ratcheted up their rhetoric toward each other — often without naming the other. At a major Democratic gathering in Iowa this month, Warren suggested that rivals who disagreed with her call for “big structural change” might be running in the “wrong” party’s primary. Biden took umbrage, defending his proposals as “bold” and “ambitious,” while accusing Warren of being dishonest about the cost of her agenda and the likelihood she could get it through a divided Congress.
what others say
Affordable health care still drives election results
A
mong the takeaways from Democratic election victories in Kentucky and Virginia this month is that support for the Affordable Care Act (known as Obamacare) continues to earn support for Democrats, as it did in the 2018 midterms. As the Democratic presidential candidates rightly debate what health care should look like going forward, the party should continue reminding voters that the Obamacare model, while far from perfect, can work in the meantime if properly supported. It is a model that the Republican Party, from top to bottom, is still trying to destroy. President Barack Obama’s signature policy initiative was an attempt to extend health insurance coverage to tens of millions of Americans who didn’t previously have it — a situation that was not only morally intolerable in the richest nation on earth, but that contributed to making American health care overly expensive with inadequate outcomes. Obamacare ensured that people with preexisting medical conditions could get affordable coverage,
something that had always been denied to them by the private insurance industry. The program also used state-level expansion of Medicaid — the government’s health care system for the poor — to cover more Americans. The GOP has fought those reforms tooth and nail for a decade now. Red states like Missouri refused to expand Medicaid, sacrificing their own poor for the sake of the GOP’s ideological belief that access to health care isn’t a right. Congressional Republicans tried and failed repeatedly to repeal it. The party finally settled for filing a pending federal lawsuit that, if successful, would throw millions of citizens with preexisting conditions off their insurance. Once, when America was still unsure about Obamacare, Democrats shied from boldly campaigning on it. But with polls showing steady growth in the program’s popularity — despite the problems caused largely by Republican sabotage efforts — candidates in hotly contested races recently in Kentucky and Virginia made defense of the program a campaign
mainstay. The results should be etched in stone for other Democrats running next year. The winner in Kentucky’s governor race, Democrat Andy Beshear, and Democrats who took control of Virginia’s Legislature, all made the Affordable Care Act prominent features of their campaigns. They reminded voters that people with preexisting conditions remain under threat of having their coverage revoked, and Republican plans fail to address the potential consequences. They reminded poor communities that their own Republican leaders have denied them coverage under expanded Medicaid and would continue doing so. In both states, Republicans campaigned like it was 2010 — slamming a program that has since pulled some 20 million people out of uninsured hell. It was a losing argument. Democrats running next year should heed that message and make it clear to the voters that 2020 will be a fight for, and against, affordable health care. — The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Nov. 17

Giuliani probe draws in Ukrainian executive By Michael Biesecker and Desmond Butler Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors are planning to interview an executive with Ukraine’s stateowned gas company as part of an ongoing probe into the business dealings of Rudy Giuliani and two of his Soviet-born business associates. A lawyer for Andrew Favorov confirmed Tuesday that he is scheduled to meet voluntarily with the U.S. Justice Department. Favorov is the director of the integrated gas division at Naftogaz, the stateowned gas provider in Ukraine.
Federal prosecutors in New York are investigating the business dealings of Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, including whether he failed to register as a foreign agent, according to people familiar with the probe. The people were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Giuliani’s close associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, were arrested last month at an airport outside Washington while trying to board a flight to Europe with oneway tickets. They were later indicted by federal prosecutors on charges of conspiracy, making false statements
and falsification of records. Following an inquiry from The Associated Press, Favorov lawyer Lanny Breuer confirmed his client is set to meet with prosecutors. “The Department of Justice has requested an interview,” Breuer said. “He has agreed and will voluntarily sit down with the government attorneys. At this time, it would not be appropriate to comment further.” Breuer declined to say when or where Favorov, who has dual U.S.-Russian citizenship and lives in Ukraine, will be meeting with prosecutors. Jim Margolin, a spokesman for
the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York, declined to comment. According to a federal indictment filed last month, Parnas and Fruman are alleged to have been key players in Giuliani’s efforts earlier this year to spur the Ukrainian government to launch an investigation of Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. The two men’s efforts included helping to arrange a January meeting in New York between Giuliani and Ukraine’s former top prosecutor, Yuri Lutsenko, as well as other meetings with top
government officials. While the House impeachment hearings have focused narrowly on Giuliani’s role in pursuing Ukrainian investigations into Democrats, the interest of federal prosecutors in interviewing Favorov suggests they are conducting a broader probe into the business dealings of Giuliani and his associates. The Associated Press reported on Oct. 7 that while they were working with Giuliani to push for investigating the Bidens, Parnas and Fruman were also leveraging political connections to Trump and other prominent Republicans as part of an effort to enrich themselves.

Shootings rattle U.S. Hmong By Janie Har Associated Press
Fresno has been the heart of California’s Hmong community for decades, drawing refugees from wartorn Southeast Asia who built a tight-knit population in the farm town. Now, they’re reeling from the shooting deaths of four Hmong American men at a weekend party. The central California city has the nation’s secondlargest concentration of the ethnic minority group from East and Southeast Asia — about 25,000 people — and is home to a festive weeklong Hmong New Year’s party that draws tens of thousands of Hmong from around the country every year. “Obviously, everyone’s in shock,” said Steve Ly, the first Hmong elected mayor in the country in the city of Elk Grove. “Fresno is the old
stomping grounds for many of us who are spread all over the state.” Police have not determined a motive, and no suspects were identified in Sunday’s shooting that killed four and wounded six others. The gunmen targeted the house where some 16 men had gathered outside to watch football on television, police said. Women and children were inside the house and were not hurt. The dead include Xy Lee, a Hmong singer and musician whose videos on YouTube have been viewed millions of times. Also killed were Phia Vang, 31; Kou Xiong, 38; and Kalaxang Thao, 40, all of Fresno. Three others remained hospitalized in serious condition, hospital officials said. Fresno police say they formed an Asian gang taskforce and were worried
about possible retaliatory violence leading up to the Hmong New Year’s celebration. But friends and family say the victims had no such ties and are sensitive to the shootings being dismissed as gang-related or promoting stereotypes. “We don’t want this to be a stain on the people,” said Bobby Bliatout, 42, the child of Hmong refugees who is now campaigning for the seat of U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes. Hmong fought for the United States during the Vietnam War. Recruited by the CIA in Laos to fend off communist forces, they guided U.S. bombing missions and rescued downed American pilots, often at risk to their own lives. After the war, Hmong refugees moved to Minnesota, California and Wisconsin. There are about 300,000 Hmong in the U.S.

Hong Kong rights bill passes
Newspaper companies merge
WASHINGTON — The Senate on Tuesday easily approved a bill to support human rights in Hong Kong following months of often-violent unrest in the semi-autonomous Chinese city. The Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act was passed by voice vote. It now goes to the House, which already has passed similar legislation. The bill mandates sanctions on Chinese and Hong Kong officials who carry out human rights abuses and require an annual review of the favorable trade status that Washington grants Hong Kong.
NEW YORK — GateHouse closed its $1.1 billion takeover of USA Today publisher Gannett, becoming the country’s largest newspaper company by far and pledging significant cost cuts at a time when print publications are in precipitous decline. The merger brings together about 260 daily papers,, as well as hundreds of weeklies. Executives of the combined company, which will keep the Gannett name, acknowledged there will be layoffs — the company has committed to cutting $300 million in annual costs.
Netanyahu celebrates U.S. settlement decision ALON SHVUT, West Bank — Israel’s prime minister traveled to the West Bank on Tuesday to celebrate the U.S.’s announcement that it does not consider Israeli settlements to violate international law. Benjamin Netanyahu called the Trump administration’s declaration, which stepped back from four decades of U.S. policy, a “huge achievement” that “fixed a historic wrong.” The Palestinians, who claim the West Bank as part of a future state, condemned the U.S. decision. They and other countries said the move undercuts any chances of a broader peace deal.
Latinas need twice the time to match white male’s income WASHINGTON — Government figures show that on average, Latinas in the United States are paid 54 cents for every dollar that a white, non-Hispanic male makes. That means it takes Latinas one year, 10 months and 20 days to match the yearly income of those male workers. A coalition of nongovernmental organizations is marking the Latina Women’s Equal Pay Day on Wednesday, highlighting the day on the calendar when the average Latina, working both 2018 and 2019, matches the 2018 income by white men. Latino men are paid 65 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men, according to federal statistics. — Associated Press

Hosting Thanksgiving? Set table early (and other tips) By Katie Workman Associated Press
Hosting Thanksgiving isn’t for the faint of heart. There are more dishes than you might usually serve. More timing concerns because of that. More pots and plates to wash. And perhaps more family dynamics, buried deep below the surface for the other 364 days a year, that threaten to bubble up through the gravy. Well, I can’t do anything about your family dynamics (if I could I would start closer to home). But I can share tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years, along with advice from some other Thanksgiving Dinner pros.
Mashed potatoes There are two basic ways to make potatoes for mashing. 1) Boil and then peel them. Peeling potatoes can be a drag (though if you need a kitchen task to give an eager family member, this is a good one). But if you boil your potatoes whole in their skins until tender (about 20 to 25 minutes), then transfer them to an ice bath (a big bowl of ice water) and let them sit for 20 to 30 seconds, the skins will slide right off. Then you can go right ahead and mash them.
Cheyenne Cohen / Katie Workman
A plate of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a side of sauteed broccoli rabe, corn and onions with crispy bacon gets pride of place on a table in New York.
2) Bake your potatoes. Megan Scott and John Becker, authors of the new “Joy of Cooking,’’ explain, “Baking the potatoes dries them out a bit more, allowing for maximum butter/cream/dairy absorption and a fluffier texture. You can bake them at the same time as the
turkey.’’ A medium russet potato will bake in approximately 1 hour at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Just pierce them a few times with a knife and set them directly on an oven rack. Once baked, cut them open and scoop out the insides for mashing.
Turkey roasting As Scott and Becker note, “A turkey is actually two roasts in one. The breast is thick, lean and will begin to overcook the minute it exceeds 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The leg quarters, on the other hand, are bonier, fattier and
practically impossible to overcook. In fact, we find that they have the best texture when cooked to 175 degrees or above.” They recommend separating the legs from the breast toward the end of cooking to get both dark and white meat perfect. “When the breast reaches an internal temperature of 155-160 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the turkey, and carefully (using a dish towel and a sharp knife) cut off the whole legs,’’ they say. “Return the leg quarters to the pan and cook them until they register an internal temp of 175 degrees. Meanwhile, tent the breast loosely while the legs finish cooking.” If you want to warm up the breasts before cutting and serving, they suggest adding them to the back of the pan at the end. True, you don’t end up with a whole turkey dramatically presented and carved at the table, but Scott and Becker are right that “your guests will appreciate a properly cooked turkey more than a turkey as centerpiece.”
Stuffing Sure, you can use a mix, but Daniel Leader, cookbook author and bread baker in New York’s Hudson Valley, suggests making See host, Page A7
Spice up the holiday with a butternut squash salad By Teri Robl For the Homer News
Thanksgiving time is here and I enjoy making this once-a-year meal above all others, as it’s the only holiday totally devoted to food. From year to year, the guests at our table may have changed, but the food served hasn’t much at all. I could make this meal in my sleep and shop for ingredients without a grocery list. Timing and oven space have been worked out for a very long time now and somehow, no matter many join us at the table, I don’t ever need to make different quantities of anything and there is always plenty. For our family, this meal is about the traditional dishes I’ve made since I was first married and have fine tuned over the years. Many of you are invited to dinner and will contribute something to the meal. I like to suggest bringing something new and different unless the host requests a special dish from your kitchen. How about a fresh and colorful salad? This recipe couldn’t be easier, has crunch and flavors of autumn’s seasonal produce. If you feel like splurging a bit, toss in a few sugar snap peas cut in half, maybe a few pomegranate seeds. ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH TOSSED GREEN SALAD Ingredients • 4 cups cubed peeled butternut squash (about 1 pound) • 1 onion, chopped • 1 tablespoon honey • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder • 1/4 teaspoon pepper • 1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby
spinach • 2 cups coarsely chopped iceberg lettuce • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese • 6 tablespoons poppy seed salad dressing, divided • 1 small can mandarin oranges, or 2-3 peeled fresh Satsuma mandarin sections. • 1/2 cup dried cranberries • Sugar snap peas • Pomegranate seeds • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted • 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled Directions 1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, toss squash and onion with honey, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Transfer to a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring once. Cool slightly. 2. In another bowl, combine spinach, lettuce, blue cheese and squash mixture. Just before serving, drizzle with 4 tablespoons dressing and toss to coat. Divide salad among eight plates; top with mandarin oranges, cranberries, peas, almonds and bacon. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
Brush the rolls with 2 tablespoons melted butter, and top each roll with 1 tablespoon of the remaining white Cheddar, being careful to keep the cheese away from the edges of the pan. 5. Bake the rolls until golden brown, and the cheese on top is melted and browned (the rolls should have an internal temperature of 190 degrees), 17 to 22 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving. Holiday feasts are the time to highlight this beautiful tart red berry that only comes around once a year. I enjoying cooking with and including cranberries in lots of recipes come November as I usually come back from Wisconsin with fresh cranberries from a local cranberry farm close to where my uncle lives.
TRIPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE
CHEDDAR BEER BREAD ROLLS These cheesy rolls pack a lot of flavor, and thanks to the beer, they’re also especially light and fluffy. They’re perfect slathered with butter. Ingredients 6 cups/815 grams bread flour, plus more for work surface 1 tablespoon instant yeast 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt 4 tablespoons/55 grams unsalted butter (2 tablespoons softened, 2 tablespoons melted), plus more for the bowl and pan ¼ cup/60 milliliters honey 2 cups/480 milliliters beer, such as pale ale 1 ¾ cup/200 grams shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, preferably white Directions 1.

Increase speed to medium and continue to mix for 2 minutes more, occasionally stopping to scrape the dough from the hook. Add 1 cup/115 grams of the Cheddar cheese and mix until incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. 2. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until nearly double in size, about 1 hour.
3. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12-24 even pieces. Gently round each piece of dough into a ball, and place into the prepared pan. (The rolls may not touch now, but they will fill in the gaps when they rise and bake.) 4. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise for 35 to 45 minutes, until they look visibly puffy. Toward the end of rise time, heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Ingredients 1 package (12 oz.) fresh or frozen cranberries 1 cup thawed cranberry juice concentrate ½ cup dried cranberries 3 tablespoons orange juice 3 tablespoons orange marmalade 2 teaspoons grated orange zest ¼ teaspoon ground allspice Directions 1. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, cranberry juice concentrate, dried cranberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the berries pop, about 15 minutes. 2. Remove from heat; stir in the orange juice, marmalade, orange zest and allspice. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until chilled.
I am thankful for many things, but most thankful for my family and friends and the great life we live here in Homer. Being the gramma to my two grandchildren brings me the most joy and thanks I’ve ever felt. Enjoy your Thanksgiving with whoever you have at the table. I would love to hear about any dishes you tasted that were delicious or very different. Reach Teri Robl at easthood. queen@gmail.com.
Remembering old-fashioned Thanksgiving on the farm
B
elow is a follow up on some very interesting history of the Civil War that I received from Barbara Romine about her family. I do appreciate all the comments I received from this article. Barbara Romine writes: Following is the partial story of my great granddad M. Sergeant Stephen E. Chandler, born Nov. 20, 1841 in Calhoun County, Michigan. His commanding officer was shot off his horse by cannonball fire at Amelia Springs. Stephen, at great peril to himself went into the midst of the battle lines, dragged him to safety while his CO said, ‘save yourself Chan. I’m done for’. Stephen said, ‘I’ll never do that. No my boy, I’ll stay with you till you are safe or we both go down.’
Pioneer potluck ‘Grannie’ Annie Berg He got them to safety and both survived. There is a book in the public library titled “Deeds of Valor,” listing all Civil War heroes who were awarded the Medal of Honor. In the book I have, his story starts on page 524 and ends on page 527. The man he saved was Corporal Eugene VanBuren. The Kenai
Library may have this book. It is riveting to read. My great granddad won a Congressional Medal of Honor for valor above and beyond the call of duty in the Civil War. I have just given his medal to my youngest son and his cap and ball pistol (engraved with his name) to my oldest son. I have read and reread his letters to his sister, my great aunt Hattie. He was 19 years of age and spent 2 1/2 years in the infantry and 2 1/2 years in the cavalry and witnessed General Lee’s surrender. He was my mom’s dad’s dad. All the men on my mom’s side fought in the wars to keep us safe, as did my dad’s brother who was a Seabee in the Navy. My dad was exempt as he had so many children but he still wanted to do
his part so worked at the armory evenings after work. Both my husbands were in the service. God bless them all including. Our dads and your Bob. Thank you so much Barbara! I am still getting compliments on the Bernie-Ann trip to Denver and back. Yes, it was a hoot and we will forever remember all the fun and laughter we had. AND we did not even know we were making memories for a lifetime. With Thanksgiving around the corner most all the ladies I know are in full preparation for such a happy event. Men step back and watch in dismay at the amount of work that goes into a day of thanksgiving. They also comment on how many leftovers they will have to eat. One year, my first husband
complained loudly he would have to eat leftovers for a month. So every meal he got peanut butter on bread and I put the jelly jar on the table. I sure enjoyed my leftovers! He was so stubborn he ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a long time. I recently bought a turkey breast and four thighs and roasted them for turkey noodle soup for a little supper we had for friends this Sunday. The recipe is in the recipe section. We love soup and I especially love turkey noodles. The McClure old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinners of the past created wonderful memories for me. Mom worked for a month on her dinner.

your own. You might be surprised by the bread he recommends, and an intriguing secret ingredient: “I love to use slightly dark, gnarly sourdough bread with its nooks and crannies for stuffing. I cut up a little over a pound of bread into 1-inch cubes and mix with a generous 1/3 cup of local bourbon from Tutthilltown Distillery nearby in Gardiner, New York. I saute a mix of onions, celery, carrots, local honey crisp apples, garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, combine it all, and add chicken stock as needed.”
Granny From Page A6
Grandpa and Grandma Cosgwell, Uncles Les and Marvin and Aunt Ruth and Uncle Norman and Cousins Barbara and Duane. My two brothers, John and Jim, and two sisters, Ginger and Elaine, and I were the rest of the hungry crew. Usually there were about 15 people at the table. Sometimes Uncle Guy would be there. Sometimes cousin Lloyd and Elma would be invited. So the kids got shuffled off to the card tables set up in the living room with — yes — linen tablecloths and napkins and china, silverware and crystal glasses. The large dining table was set with a linen tablecloth and napkins that were ironed and set on the formal table the day before. The silverware was polished and the china was taken out of the cupboard and rewashed and put on the table. The crystal glasses were also washed and polished with a flour-sack tea towel that was embroidered by Grandma or Mom. Dad made sure Mom had a bouquet of fall flowers in the middle of the table. But, the preparation for the dinner was what is amazing nowadays. First thing was to go to Grandpa’s about five days before and pick out a turkey, chop the head off, dunk it in hot water and pluck the feathers off. That took at least an hour for two people. Gutting was Grandpa’s job. We looked forward to finding the gizzard, liver and heart. Singeing the pin feathers took two people holding it up for a newspaper fire to burn them off. Then it would be brought into the house and washed with a little vinegar and lots of water and put in the refrigerator to cool. That whole procedure took most of a half day. Grandma saved the feathers, which were put into a newly sewn pillowcase for
chopped giblets.”
Bill Smith, recently retired chef at Crook’s Corner in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, has had the good fortune to be a guest at an old friend’s home for years, and his sole task is to make the gravy. He does a lot of the prep ahead of time, and lets the giblets do some of the heavy lifting. Put the neck and all the giblets except the liver in a saucepan of cold water and simmer until they are well done, he says. You can do this the day before and degrease the cooled broth later. Chop up the gizzard and heart and shred the meat from the neckbone.
Then, just before dinner, when the bird is done, move it to a platter to rest. Pour off as much fat from the roasting pan as possible, while saving as much of the juices as you can. In a jar with a tight lid, shake a few tablespoons of all-purpose flour into the cold broth until it is completely combined. Put the roasting pan with the remaining cooking juices on the stove over high heat. “Grab whatever wine is nearby (I have used both red and white) and pour a generous cup into the pan,’’ Smith says. “Use a whisk to swirl it around and reduce it by half. Add your brothflour slurry, pouring it through a sieve, and whisk and reduce to the thickness that you prefer. Taste for salt and pepper and stir in the
another year of service on the bed. The day before the roasting of the bird, Mom made her famous dressing out of her famous toasted homemade bread and cubed. She put in her favorite spices with lots of sage and onions and celery. She used the dish pan for her mixing vessel. The cooked gizzard and heart were chopped and put in also. No sausage in Mom’s stuffing! Early in the morning of Thanksgiving — at like four or five — you could hear Mom stuffing the turkey, putting it in the big, big roasting pan and bang, clang she would have Dad help her put the sometimes 30-pound turkey in the oven to roast for six to eight hours. OH, OH the good smells that came out of that kitchen! A week before Mom baked pies and more pies — pumpkin, apple, cherry, mincemeat — not just one each, but two or three of each. She did not stop there — as there were cookies to be made for “snacks” afterward, and for everyone to take home. The dinner rolls were made the day before. Parker house rolls were her specialty. She also doubled her bread recipe for Dad and anyone else to have turkey sandwiches. Oh my, those were so good. P.S. At one time she made her own mayonnaise, but changed to salad dressing when it could be bought. She and I made the cranberry salad, which I will include in the recipe section. I love that salad and make enough to eat for breakfast for a few days! I worked on cleaning carrots and celery, then cut them in small sticks so they could be put on Mom’s crystal relish tray along with black olives and her wonderful dill and sweet pickles that were canned about a month before. No dip, just good vegetables to crunch on before dinner. So that about sums up the Thanksgiving on the
farm in Northern Colorado. We all sat round the table and Dad or Grandpa gave the blessing. Food was passed around and the quietness of the rest of the meal was interrupted by “yums and awes,” clanks of the silverware and “so good Loretta” from Uncle Guy, and a “yes” from the rest. Dad always said, “Thanks Loretta” at the end of the meal. He knew how hard she worked. The whole meal was over in 30 minutes! Dad would push back his chair and head for his over-stuffed chair in the living room so he could rest up and nap and have pie and ice cream in about an hour. The rest of the men followed and found their various chairs and couch. The women cleared the table. Washing dishes and towel drying and putting them away was a ritual that was followed by putting out pie plates. Pie was served with Dad’s special ice cream, French vanilla. Mom had homemade whipped cream. Dad had pumpkin pie with ice cream and before he went to bed he had mincemeat pie with ice cream. He offered a taste to us kids, none of who wanted any mincemeat. So as not to disappoint him I ate a big fork full. That is how I came to love mincemeat pie. When I first came to Alaska I made mincemeat from moose. Mom made hers from venison or elk, but most of the time from beef. Recipe also is included here. So this Thanksgiving let’s all give thanks to the storebought turkey already plucked and ready for the oven. The store-bought bread cubes ready for your favorite ingredients, which mine includes Jimmy Dean Hot sausage. The pumpkin pies are all ready to eat from the store and the bread and rolls so convenient from the bread department. Our preparation takes a day or two ahead of time and a day to
shop for it. BUT then there is the ready-to-eat dinners that come in a box that certain stores offer. Or you can just plan go to the restaurant of your choice for the buffet. None of that was offered while I was growing up and I count myself very lucky to have known an era of gone by memories. Trying to recreate this is hard as my family has families of their own so we create our own memories of this day and age. Happy Turkey Day my relatives and friends.

COOK’S ILLUSTRATED’S FOOLPROOF PIE DOUGH RECIPE • • • •
2 1/2 cups (12 1/2 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour • 1 teaspoon table salt • 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons sugar cut into 1/4 slices 1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening, cut into 4 pieces • 1/4 cup cold vodka 1/4 cup cold water Process 1 1/2 cups flour, salt and sugar in food processor until combined, about 2 onesecond pulses. Add butter and shortening and process till homogeneous dough just starts to collect in uneven clumps, about 15 seconds (dough will resemble cottage cheese curds and there should be no uncoated flour). Scrap bowl with rubber spatula and redistribute dough evenly around processor blade. Add remaining cup of flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed around and mass of dough has been broken up, 4 to 6 quick pulses. Empty mixture into medium bowl. Sprinkle vodka and water over mixture. With a rubber spatula, use a folding motion to mix, pressing down on dough until dough is slightly tacky and sticks together. Divide dough into two even balls and flatten into a 4-inch disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 45 minutes or up to two days.
Grate your butter If you are making your own pie crust, first, wow, good for you. And second, instead of cutting the butter into the flour mixture, which is messy and time consuming, try grating it. Take cold butter straight from the fridge and grate it on the large holes of a grater. Mix the flakes into the dry ingredients, then add your liquid. This also works for streusel toppings.
Vegan friendly Isa Chandra Moskowitz, a vegan chef and author, suggests using olive or coconut oil instead of butter to help turn vegetarian dishes

vegan. This works for stuffing if the bread and vegetable broth are also vegan, for candied yams, and for any vegetable you need to saute or roast. She also suggests making smaller, vegan versions of dairy-rich dishes. For mashed potatoes, for example, “set aside a few potatoes for your vegan guests and mash with olive oil, salt and pepper for yummy smashed potatoes.” While you can find vegan roasts to stand in for the turkey, Moskowitz likes lentils as a protein. “A shepherd’s pie with mashed lentils, stuffed squash with lentils, or a mushroom lentil stew would both be delicious accessible mains for everyone at the table, in addition to whatever else you are
serving,’’ she says.
one-part vegetable oil. Heat until slightly limp and flavor is pungent. With a slotted spoon add to broth. Add 2 cans of cream of chicken soup — undiluted. Stir with whisk until all creamy soup is dissolved. Separate the white meat and the thigh meat from bone and chop in half-inch pieces. Add to the broth. Simmer 15 minutes while you heat water in large pot and add about 5 cups of dry, very good quality egg noodles. Make sure they are the old-fashioned egg noodles. I use Country Egg Pasta Noodles. Boil until just underdone. Drain and add to the broth and turkey. Simmer 30 minutes and taste to adjust seasoning. Probably will need more garlic salt and sage. Enjoy!
Cook about 2 pounds of moose meat until it becomes tender and falls off the bone. I use the neck meat and ½ pound of suet. (50 years ago in Alaska suet was not available in our part of the woods so we used butter or oleo frozen as we ground the moose meat.) Save 1 cup of meat stock and freeze the rest of soup base. Grind the meat and butter. Place in large enamel or stainless-steel kettle and add the following: 2 pounds of cranberries or low-bush cranberries — grind 3 tart apples, peeled and cored and diced 3 pounds of craisins (Mom used raisins.) 1 tablespoon salt 2 cups brown sugar 5 cups apple juice or sweet cider 1 cup of meat stock Bring to boil and simmer 1 hour. Stir frequently because it will burn. Then to this mixture add: 2½ pints of cranberry or apple juice 1 teaspoon mace (optional) 2 teaspoons each cloves and allspice, plus 1 more teaspoon allspice 2 teaspoons nutmeg and cinnamon 1 cup dark molasses Juice of 1 orange and one lemon ¾ cup apple cider vinegar Mix well and boil 10 minutes mixing constantly with a wooden spoon. Pack in sterilized jars and process for 10-pound pressure for 30 minutes. Those who live in different altitudes consult you pressure canner book.
CRANBERRY SALAD This is from the Timnath Columbine Club — Timnath, Colorado, the place I went to high school. It was submitted by Mrs. Ruben Schneider a good friend of Mom’s. Daughter JoAnn was a classmate. 1 cup ground fresh cranberries (Mom used the whole package — ground) 1 package strawberry Jell-O — when in a pinch, as in Alaska, use orange or raspberry. 1 cup boiling water 1 cup sugar 1 cup crushed pineapple 1 cup chopped celery 1 cup walnuts Mix sugar and ground cranberries, let stand 1 hour. Set Jell-O with boiling water and cool. Mix rest of ingredients into cooled Jell-O, mix well. Pour into a mold or, as Mom did, in a 9 x 13 glass dish. Chill overnight. At serving time, cut into squares and put each square on individual lettuce-lined dessert dishes. Decorate with a dollop of mayonnaise or salad dressing. She also used whipped cream once in a while. Yumm, you will love it!
ALASKAN MOOSE MINCEMEAT This is similar to Mom’s recipe. I like to keep pint jars of this on hand whenever I get a hankering for Mom’s mincemeat pie.
Housekeeping Set the table the night before, or earlier. All of it — glasses, centerpieces, pitchers for drinks, etc. Take out every serving platter, bowl and utensil you will need, and create a little label saying what will go into each dish. Get thee a cooler: Fridge space is a hot commodity on Thanksgiving, so buy yourself some extra real estate with a big cooler or two filled with ice. Use these for drinks, whipping cream, salad dressing, anything that doesn’t need to be sitting on a flat surface in the fridge. And now, you’re ready. May your holiday be as smooth as your gravy.
TO USE IN A PIE 1 pint of mincemeat 2 to 3 tart apples diced ¼ cup sugar Mix and place in and unbaked pie shell. Dot with butter and place another shell over pie and crimp. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Bake one hour until nicely browned. Eat warm with French vanilla ice cream. Reheats easily. Bake pies freeze very well. Every time Dad ate this he would take one bite and roll his eyes at Mom and tell her that was the best pie she ever baked. He was not full of compliments but mincemeat pie pushed it out of him.
Today in History Today is Wednesday, Nov. 20, the 324th day of 2019. There are 41 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 20, 1985, the first version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system, Windows 1.0, was officially released. On this date: In 1789, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights. In 1910, the Mexican Revolution of 1910 had its beginnings under the Plan of San Luis Potosi issued by Francisco I. Madero. In 1945, 22 former Nazi officials went on trial before an international war crimes tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany. (Almost a year later, the International Military Tribune sentenced 12 of the defendants to death; seven received prison sentences ranging from 10 years to life; three were acquitted.) In 1947, Britain’s future queen, Princess Elizabeth, married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey. In 1966, the musical play “Cabaret,” set in pre-Nazi Germany, opened on Broadway with Jill Haworth as Sally Bowles and Joel Grey as the Master of Ceremonies. In 1967, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Population Clock at the Commerce Department ticked past 200 million. In 1969, the Nixon administration announced a halt to residential use of the pesticide DDT as part of a total phaseout. A group of American Indian activists began a 19-month occupation of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. In 1975, after nearly four decades of absolute rule, Spain’s Generalissimo Francisco Franco died, two weeks before his 83rd birthday. In 1984, pop star Michael Jackson was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame with the unveiling of his star in front of a horde of screaming fans. In 1998, forty-six states embraced a $206 billion settlement with cigarette makers over health costs for treating sick smokers. In 2000, lawyers for Al Gore and George W. Bush battled before the Florida Supreme Court over whether the presidential election recount should be allowed to continue. In 2003, Michael Jackson was booked on suspicion of child molestation in Santa Barbara, Calif. (Jackson was later acquitted at trial.) Record producer Phil Spector was charged with murder in the shooting death of an actress, Lana Clarkson, at his home in Alhambra (al-HAM’-bruh), California. (Spector’s first trial ended with a hung jury in 2007; he was convicted of second-degree murder in 2009 and sentenced to 19 years to life in prison.) Ten years ago: Scientists in Geneva restarted the Large Hadron (HAD’-ruhn) Collider, the world’s largest atom smasher, after a year of repairs. A Chinese national killed four people and wounded nine in a shooting rampage on the Pacific island of Saipan before taking his own life. Holding back tears, Oprah Winfrey told her studio audience that she would end her talk show in 2011 after a quarter-century on the air. Five years ago: Spurning furious Republicans, President Barack Obama unveiled expansive executive actions on immigration during a televised address that would spare nearly 5 million people who were in the U.S. illegally from deportation and refocus enforcement efforts on “felons, not families.” MLB Commissioner Bud Selig announced that baseball owners had unanimously approved a five-year term for his successor, Rob Manfred. One year ago: President Donald Trump declared that he would not further punish Saudi Arabia for the murder of U.S.-based columnist Jamal Khashoggi (jah-MAHL’ khahr-SHOHK’-jee), dismissing reports from U.S. intelligence agencies that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman must have at least known about the plot to kill the writer. Trump said a judge who had ruled against his bid to deny asylum to migrants who enter the county illegally was an “Obama judge” on an appeals court that he said was biased against him. Health officials in the U.S. and Canada told people to stop eating romaine lettuce because of a new E. coli outbreak. Ray Chavez, the oldest U.S. military survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, died in southern California at the age of 106. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Estelle Parsons is 92.

Alabama faces Western Carolina this weekend, so playing backup Mac Jones shouldn’t make much difference. On Thanksgiving weekend, the Tide will face Auburn with its No. 2 quarterback, which should give the committee a better read on what kind of a team Alabama is now. “We do not look forward,” said
committee chairman Rob Mullens, who is also Oregon’s athletic director. “Our charge is to rank the teams based on their body of work through week 12, and that’s what we did. Obviously, we’ll watch the games moving forward and evaluate them after that.” Minnesota and Baylor, both of which lost for the first time last
weekend, dropped in the rankings. Minnesota went from eighth to 10th after losing at Iowa. Baylor slipped from 13th to 14th after blowing a 25-point lead to Oklahoma. Ohio State and Penn State play this weekend in a game that could essentially eliminate the Nittany Lions from the playoff race.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2019: This year, you develop an ability to handle details even when a project or situation is soaked in confusion. You have an unusual gift for sorting through tangles of facts and stories. If single, you could be skeptical of others, especially if their story does not ring true. It might be true but out of your realm of experience. Stay open and you will learn a lot. If attached, you and your partner see life from very different perspectives, which might be more defined than it has been in the recent past. Your goals are the same, but your procedures are different. Understand where your sweetie is coming from. You appreciate VIRGO and their attention to detail.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Review all matters that involve detailed work, especially if they were done in the past three weeks. Reorganize a project that you want completed pronto. Instinct guides you when questioning what seems like a crazy idea. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH While many people around you could be fussing about
certain details, your creativity and ability to sleuth out a problem takes center stage. Keep in mind your real desire and you will make the right choices. Tonight: Celebrating the night.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Defer more often to others. You tend to make situations more difficult than they need to be -- at least at the moment. Play it lowkey, especially if you find you are questioning more than normal. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could draw a strong reaction when you express yourself. Understand your objective as that knowledge can help keep you on track. News from a distance might not be clear even if you think it is. Tonight: Speak your mind.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You have the ability to overcome a personal matter -though if involved with finances, a yellow light flashes for today. Do not sign any legal papers right now. You will later note a need for a change. Tonight: Run errands.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You beam and make
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
a big difference in others’ attitudes toward you. Often people find you hard to follow or understand. You speak of details more than objectives. Tonight: How you feel in the a.m. could be a lot different in the p.m.
HHHH Do not push so hard to achieve a long-desired goal. Your ability to read between the lines emerges when someone reveals more about a project or happening than you were told. Tonight: Detach, go relax and watch a movie.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Much is going on behind the scenes. You could be confused about the outcome of a personal matter. Someone you care about could be very difficult. It’s possible that person is you, and you are triggering others. Tonight: Pull back and get some extra sleep.
Tuesday’s answers, 11-19
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your sense of humor emerges, allowing greater give-andtake. Your perspective changes as a partner or close loved one starts revealing more of his or her thoughts. Both of you will gain through greater openness. Tonight: A visit over dinner.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. It appears you have a second chance. Grab it and run. You see life from a different perspective than many of the people around you. Do not undercut or criticize a close associate. Tonight: Where the action is.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Allow another person to seize the reins of power. You might like the break and decide to be a little more carefree. Your sensitivity is heightened though you might not want to act on those feelings just yet. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Take a stand if necessary. You will feel as if you cannot get a personal matter under control. You might be missing an important detail. Give yourself some time to gain a better perspective. Tonight: A must appearance.

Alaska coastline. “We’re trying to understand what the new autumn looks like in the Arctic,” said Jim Thomson, an oceanographer at the UW Applied Physics Laboratory. Sea ice in the Chukchi Sea every day since mid-October has been the lowest on record, said Rick Thoman, a climate expert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ International Arctic Research Center and a former National Weather Service forecaster. For example, the National Snow and Ice Data Center on Nov. 7 recorded sea ice at 39,382 square miles, about one-sixth of the typical ice extent for that date from 1981 to 2010, Thoman said. Low ice is a problem for people of the coast. Communities north and south of the Bering Strait rely on nearshore ice to act as a natural sea wall, protecting land from erosion brought on by winter storms. Sea ice is a platform from which to catch crab or cod in Nome, a transportation
corridor between villages in Kotzebue Sound and a work station on which to butcher walrus near Gambell. Sea ice is also one of the most important physical elements of the Chukchi and Bering seas. The cold, salty water underneath ice creates structure in the water column that separates Arctic species from commercially valuable fish such as Pacific cod and walleye pollock. When sea ice melts, it creates conditions important for the development of microorganisms at the base of the food web. And then there’s wildlife. Sea ice is the prime habitat for polar bears and the preferred location for dens where females give birth. Female walruses with young use sea ice as a resting platform and follow the ice edge south as it moves into the Bering Sea. The formation of sea ice requires the ocean temperature to be about 28 degrees, the freezing point of saltwater. Historically, ice has formed in the northernmost waters and been moved by currents and wind into the southern Chukchi and Bering seas, where it cools the water, allowing even
Police reports Information for this report was taken from publicly available law enforcement records and includes arrest and citation information. Anyone listed in this report is presumed innocent. ■■ On Nov. 11 at 2:43 a.m., Alaska State Troopers were dispatched to a report of a disturbance on Andrews Avenue in Soldotna. Investigation revealed that Rose M. Scott, 27, of Ninilchik, had assaulted two family members and caused under $250 in damage to their property. Scott was arrested for two counts of assault (domestic violence) and fifth-degree criminal mischief and was taken to Wildwood Pretrial Facility without bail. ■■ On Nov. 16 at about 3:40 a.m., Alaska State Troopers contacted a brown 2000 Pontiac Firebird for a registration violation at a business in Sterling. Investigation revealed that Rory J. Hoeldt, 44, of Anchorage, was operating the vehicle while his license is revoked. Hoeldt’s license is revoked for driving under the influence until 2074, and he has 24 prior convictions for driving while license revoked, making this a misdemeanor. Hoeldt was also operating the vehicle with a fictitious registration. Further investigation revealed that Hoeldt was in possession of methamphetamine. Hoeldt has a prior misconduct involving controlled substances conviction in the last 10 years, making this a felony. Sarah L. Urdahl, 36, of Sterling, was contacted during the investigation. Urdahl provided a false information to troopers. Investigation also revealed that Urdahl
was on conditions of release for several open court cases. She was in violation of her conditions of release by violating state law. Hoeldt was arrested for driving while license revoked, improper display of evidence of registration, and fourth-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance. Urdahl was arrested for false information, violating conditions of release, and issued a citation for a violation. Urdahl and Hoeldt were taken to Wildwood Pretrial Facility without bail. ■■ On Aug. 22, Alaska Wildlife Troopers cited Ryan Hatt, 27, of Soldotna, for retaining a snagged salmon from the Kenai River. Troopers seized one coho salmon from Hatt and released it to a local charity. On Nov. 13, Hatt received a conviction for this offense in the Kenai District Court. In addition to a $140 fine, the court revoked Hatt’s sport fish license for a period of two years, as he was found to be a habitual violator. ■■ On Nov. 17 at about 12:00 p.m., Alaska State Troopers responded to a single-vehicle rollover near Mile 12 of Kalifornsky Beach Road. Investigation revealed that Rebecca Gerow, 21, of Kasilof, was driving her Volkswagen sedan northbound when she lost control. The vehicle went into the ditch, where it rolled onto its side. Gerow suffered minor injuries and reported wearing her seat belt. The vehicle sustained minor damage and was towed from the scene. ■■ On Nov. 18 at 2:56 a.m., Alaska State Troopers conducted a traffic stop on a 2000 Blue Mercury Grand Marquis for a traffic violation and contacted the driver, Tamsen Brewer, 35, of Nikiski.
more ice to form, said Andy Mahoney, a sea ice physicist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Geophysical Institute. Forecasters 20 years ago took it as a given that the water temperature would be cold enough to form sea ice. “Even at the end of summer you couldn’t get enough heat into the ocean to raise the water temperature significantly above freezing,” Mahoney said. “So it didn’t take much cooling to cool the ocean down to the freezing point.” Climate warming has brought a harsh new reality. High summer temperatures have warmed the entire water column in the Bering and Chukchi seas. Water temperatures from the surface to the ocean bottom remain above normal, delaying ice formation. “We’ve got a cold atmosphere. We’ve got a strong wind. You’d think we’d be forming ice, but there’s just too much heat left in the ocean,” Mahoney said. The water potentially is warm enough to melt ice moving south from northern locations. “I haven’t seen any direct
After investigation found that Brewer’s license was revoked, she was arrested for driving while license revoked and taken to Wildwood Pretrial Facility. ■■ On Nov. 18 at 3:27 a.m., Alaska State Troopers stopped a 1999 Jeep for an equipment violation on Gas Well Road. The driver, Frank Marotta, 44, of Soldotna, was found to have an outstanding warrant for his arrest for failing to remand to Wildwood Correctional Center on the original charge of driving while license revoked. He was additionally found to be driving on a revoked license. Marotta

observations where ice has been transported into the Chukchi Sea and then melted,” Mahoney said. “But the water temperature maps that I’ve seen, they’re still significantly positive in Celsius. And you can’t grow ice, even if you bring ice in, if the water temperature is above freezing, that ice is ultimately going to experience melting from the water temperature.” Thomson and other scientists on the Sikuliaq will look at how the changes could affect coastlines, which
already are eroding. Less ice and more open water translate to a significant threat. Ice acts as a smothering blanket, keeping down the size of waves. Open water increases fetch, the distance over which wave-generating winds blow. “We know from other projects and other work that the waves are definitely on the increase in the Arctic,” Thomson said. That means even more erosion, the chance of winter flooding in villages and increased danger to hunters in small boats and longer
distances for them to travel to find seals and walruses. Forecasting sea ice is notoriously difficult but Thoman, the ex-weather forecaster, said he expects a less than robust year for sea ice. “Maybe the horizontal extent conceivably gets up to normal, but it has to be extremely thin and it will be subject to rapid melting if we get into a stormy period in the winter or spring,” Thoman said. “And even if that doesn’t happen, because it’s thinner, it means it’s going to melt out sooner come next spring.”
was taken to Wildwood Pretrial Facility on the no-bail warrant and additionally on a new charge of driving while license revoked. ■■ On Nov. 17 at 11:03 p.m., Alaska State Troopers conducted a traffic stop on a 1995 maroon GMC truck for a moving violation at about Mile 95.5 of the Sterling Highway. Investigation revealed that driver Alexander Sanchez-Ramos, 34, of Soldotna, was under the influence of alcohol and was on probation. He was arrested for driving under the influence and taken to Wildwood Pretrial.

ALASKANS to work
Alaska’s North Slope is experiencing a renaissance. During this past winter’s drilling season on the North Slope, we employed over 1,100 people to drill eight exploration wells, build 140 miles of ice roads and start construction of a new drill site. And we’re not stopping there. We’ll have a new drilling rig – the largest land-based rig in North America -- on the Slope in 2020, and plans to invest billions in projects that will put more oil in the pipeline and keep Alaskans working.
