In the news Magistrate marries gay couple in Barrow

ANCHORAGE (AP) — A remote outpost on Alaska’s Arctic Coast where people are used to doing their own thing has applied that independent streak to gay marriage.

A magistrate in Barrow has performed what is believed to be the state’s first gay marriage ceremony days ahead of schedule after a federal judge struck down the state’s ban.

Couples lined up statewide Monday to apply for marriage licenses, beginning the clock on a mandatory threeday wait until ceremonies could be held.

For Kristine Hilderbrand, 30, and Sarah Ellis, 34, it wasn’t about being first when they sought and received a waiver to the three-day wait from Magistrate Mary Treiber. Monday just fit their schedules better.

Because Monday was Columbus Day, a federal holiday, members of Ellis’ family on the East Coast were able to call into the court’s sophisticated teleconference system used for lawyers and defendants spread out over the far-flung judicial district when Treiber conducted the marriage ceremony late Monday afternoon.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Burgess ruled Sunday that the ban violated the due process and equal protection guarantees of the U.S. Constitution.

Burgess on Tuesday denied the state’s request for a stay.

Alaska officials plan to appeal his Sunday ruling to the 9th Circuit Court, and could also seek a stay from the appeals court, even though it has allowed gay marriages to go forward in other states within its jurisdiction.

Cori Mills, a spokeswoman for the Alaska attorney general’s office, said in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday that the state has not made a final decision yet whether to ask the 9th Circuit for the stay.

Parnell, including the choice to support Senate Bill 21, mentioning how the current deficit facing the state due to a drop in oil prices would be $150 million greater had voters repealed the measure.

Mallott later said SB21 should never have been put before the electorate. He said it was a shift in where the responsibility should be placed and reflects a breakdown in communication and leadership.

Mallott made the comment in response to whether the state is properly utilizing the referendum process. He said referendums provide an outlet for elected officials to make sure they are creating policy that aligns with public opinion, but they are overused.

Lee said he prefers public officials to be making the decisions, who are elected to be experts on the issues. In his responses during the forum, he

If measured in sheer volume of fish, the Upper Cook Inlet commercial harvest of salmon was low: preliminary Fish and Game estimates show it at about 20 percent less than the 10-year average harvest. But, when price-per-pound is factored in, the exvessel value of the 2014 harvest was high at $35 million — making it the second year in a row that Cook Inlet commercial harvesters have seen lower-than-average harvests with higher-than-average values.

Last year, the commercial harvest in Upper Cook Inlet was valued at just over $39 million, ranking it as the 8th highest exvessel value since 1960, according to Fish and Game data. This year, commercial fishermen made just over $35 million, coming in at the 9th highest exvessel value since 1960.

While commercial fishermen harvest all five species of Pacific salmon between the Northern District and Central District, which make up the Upper Cook Inlet area, sockeye salmon are the most valuable.

More than 93 percent of the total value of the commercial fishery in the last 20 years has come from sockeye salmon.

But, the value of the sockeye harvest wasn’t spread equally among fishermen — a trend in recent years as Upper Cook In-

Candidates for lt. governor debate

By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

The three candidates running for lieutenant governor of Alaska outlined their platforms Tuesday during a public forum at the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center.

Andrew Lee, running on the Libertarian ticket, commented that he has not often been asked to join public forums for the lieutenant governor race since campaigning for the seat began.

Lee, who has not previously held a position in public office, is up against the current mayor of Anchorage, Dan Sullivan, and Democrat Byron Mallott, who combined his campaign with independent candidate Bill Walker.

Lee owns and operates a Bering Sea gold dredging company, and has a background in computer programming, which he said brings a unique skill to

Homer residents try Senate candidates vie for to clean up beach

By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News

HOMER (AP) — Illegal camping, late-night partying, reckless driving, drug dealing and trash on Bishop’s Beach: It all adds up to a trend that worries Old Town business and home owners. With the growing popularity of Bishop’s Beach has come some abuse that could change the character of the beach.

“I think more is needed for our area down here,” said Bill Ostwald, owner of the old Haas studio and resident on Bunnell Avenue, at a meeting last month at Bunnell Street Arts Center. “I can just see a valuable resource that’s being destroyed. It’s pretty sad when you see vehicles driving through tide pools and beach berms.”

At the meeting, Old Town neighbors met to share stories about problems and suggest solutions, including an idea that might be anathema to longtime Homer residents — limiting ve-

hicle use on the beach. Some of the ideas are: — Ban vehicles entirely; — Allow vehicle use by permit; or — Close the beach at night to vehicles.

Neighbors also talked about other remedies to beach abuse, including landowners being more assertive about private property rights on the beach.

The Old Town Neighborhood Association, a group formed to steer and direct improvements in Old Town, called the meeting.

A stroll down Bishop’s Beach tells part of the story.

Cars are parked at the east end of the beach in an area recommended for pedestrian use.

Next to the mouth of Woodard Creek and west of the Homer Elks Lodge, several tents had been pitched at the bottom of the bluff on private property.

Bags of trash scattered by birds littered the camping area.

Alaska veterans’ votes

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI Associated Press

EAGLE RIVER — The focus of attention one recent Saturday at the Veterans of Foreign War post in this community on the fringe of Anchorage was college football, not the state’s hard-fought Senate race.

When asked, Army veteran Ken Speegle thought about the race for a moment and said that, as a Republican, he’s pulling for challenger Dan Sullivan, a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve, against Democratic Sen. Mark Begich in November. But he says he won’t be heartbroken if Begich wins.

Those mixed feelings hint at the tough competition for the support of veterans in the Alaska Senate race this year.

“I wouldn’t be particularly happy that a Democrat won, but I wouldn’t be worried as a veteran,” said Speegle, who C

served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 50-year-old real estate agent said the incumbent has been “very aggressive” on veterans’ issues.

Veterans represent an outsized share of the population in Alaska, where 1 in 10 residents has served in the military and an additional 35,000 troops are stationed at one of the state’s numerous military facilities.

They may seem like natural supporters of Sullivan. But in this election, veterans and their votes are up for grabs.

Veterans’ advocates credit Begich with helping pioneer a system that allows veterans to be treated at local hospitals rather than at Veterans Affairs facilities. That’s crucial in a state where the nearest VA hospital is in Seattle. The change also has helped Alaska avoid the lengthy waiting times for patients that caused a scandal in other states.

“I’m not a shill for Mark

Begich,” said Ric Davidge, head of the Alaska Veterans Foundation and a Republican Party committeeman. “But we’re enormously blessed up here, and that blessing is directly related to Mark Begich.” He also credited the state’s senior senator, Republican Lisa Murkowski, and its veterans’ affairs agency.

In an interview, Sullivan noted that the first policy paper he issued after announcing his candidacy last year was on veterans, warning of growing VA wait times in the rest of the country before the scandal made headlines.

A first-time candidate who can be stiff on the stump, Sullivan by all accounts comes to life when he visits American Legion and VFW posts — usually impromptu events that are closed to reporters.

But Begich has also long been a fixture at veterans’ halls and See VOTES, page A-14

Polar bear breaks into Kaktovik home ANCHORAGE (AP) — Ruby Kaleak’s part-time job on polar bear patrol in the village of Kaktovik, Alaska, usually means chasing the animals back to the Beaufort Sea. But she wasn’t expecting to shoo one of the biggest bears she’s ever seen out of a house last week.

She was on duty Friday in the village of 300 people when a call came over the radio that a bear was inside a doorway, the Alaska Dispatch News reported. Kaleak heard two whispered words: “Qanitchaq, nanuq,” which in Inupiat means “arctic entryway, polar bear,” referring to the home’s narrow covered porch that serves as a barrier to the cold.

shotgun that can fire rounds of beanbags, firecrackers or lethal slugs, Kaleak and a co-worker drove to a house where the call may have originated.

That’s where she saw a shadow in the home’s entryway that made her pause. Then, the head of a big polar bear popped up.

“I was shocked. It was humongous,” Kaleak said. “Just

the neck and head was half the size of me, and I’m 5 (feet) 2 (inches).”

The bear was feasting on a drum of seal oil in the entryway of 81-year-old Betty Brower’s home, said Flora Rexford, Brower’s granddaughter.

Brower was home alone and crawled to the radio to call the bear patrol. No one was injured,

and the bear fled after Kaleak arrived.

Polar bears’ primary habitat is sea ice, where they hunt for seals and other prey. As ice has receded to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food, according to biologists with the U.S. Geological Survey.

State should look at strengthening Public Records Act State Sen. Bill Wielechowski of An-

Opinion

CLARION P

chorage announced Thursday that he plans to file a bill in the coming legislative session that would strengthen the state Public Records Act, providing less leeway when state officials or agencies claim privilege on documents requested by the public. One needn’t look much further than the calendar to understand part of the reason why the senator is making this announcement now — but the fact that politics might be a motivation doesn’t mean strengthening the Public Records Act isn’t a good idea.

The Alaska Public Records Act, a series of laws governing public access to government documents, was passed decades ago in the push to make government more transparent in the wake of national scandals like Watergate. At the time of its passage, Alaska’s law was one of the strongest protections of public access to information in the country. As decades have passed, however, the state’s elected and appointed officials have become far less forthcoming and often outright obstructive to the release of government documents. Perhaps the most extreme example of the erosion of the act’s effect came when media organizations made a public records request in 2008 for emails Gov. Sarah Palin sent relating to the dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.

Despite significant public outcry, the emails weren’t released until nearly three years later in 2011 — and then were incomplete, with thousands missing due to claims of “executive and deliberative process,” an oftcited exception to the Public Records Act. More recently, and mentioned directly by Sen. Wielechowski, Gov. Sean Parnell’s administration waited 86 days to deny a request by the Alaska Public Radio Network for email communications related to the developing Alaska National Guard scandal.

Despite the relatively focused nature of the request, the 10-day statutory limit for approval or denial of records release and the fact that APRN staffers made more than two dozen calls in three months seeking an update on the emails, the governor’s office saw fit to deny it in full. Alaska Public Media and the Alaska Dispatch News are now suing over that denial.

The Legislature itself, however, may be the worst offender in flouting the spirit of open government. The body carved out a whale-sized exemption for itself from the state Open Meetings Act, which requires public access to all meetings of public bodies where decisions are made. Legislators also have claimed their offices are not subject to public records laws.

Sen. Wielechowski said his bill will require a “privilege log” of any documents that state officials or agencies wish to shield from public view and a specific legal justification for doing so. Such a change could be positive in that it puts the onus of claiming privilege on those who generate the documents before they receive requests that they become public.

On the other hand, the requirement could accelerate the already widespread practice of claiming privilege on documents that have only tenuous connections to policy discussion.

There are several reasons why Sen. Wielechowski’s bill is unlikely to make it to the governor’s desk. The Democratic senator is in the minority, and minoritysponsored bills are rarely allowed to the floor of the Legislature for a vote. The Legislature, and for that matter governors, have historically displayed little inclination toward making the mechanisms of government more transparent.

But in the wake of scandals showing the clear danger of opacity in government affairs, Alaskans deserve a robust debate about expanding public access to information, particularly the workings of government itself. Sunlight, as they say, has always been the best disinfectant.

— Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Oct. 10

Church and state: still separate?

I have always agreed that the two subjects that should be avoided in polite conversation are religion and politics. Well, since I’m forever talking politics, one can easily figure out what I think about polite conversation — obviously not much.

But if there is any doubt, let’s discuss religion today. We can start with this question: Who are you going to believe, Antonin Scalia or Thomas Jefferson? Justice Scalia recently made a speech at Colorado Christian University in which he declared that there is nothing in the Constitution stating that “the government cannot favor religion over nonreligion.”

It’s interesting that someone who is described as an “Originalist” would apply his own reasoning to the First Amendment, which specifically prohibits “an establishment of religion.” The author, Thomas Jefferson, made it clear what he meant. In an 1802 letter, he wrote that he intended a “wall of separation between church and state.”

The problem with Scalia is that his point of view is not just idle opinion; his legal opinions can be part of the final word on this country’s laws. It’s a good thing, for instance, that the Supremes decided not to take on gay marriage, because at least one-ninth of the deciders, probably more, would base their vote on their religious views trumping equal treatment under the law.

Without a doubt, the Founding Fathers were men of faith, and it is true that we say

Letters to the Editor Juneau road should go nowhere J.R. Myers, and the rest of the Gubernatorial candidates for that matter, would be wise to axe the Juneau road extension.

Even if the State proceeds with the halfbillion dollar road project, drivers will still have to take a ferry to reach the capital.

That’s right, after 50 miles of new pavement through some of the State’s most challenging terrain, the Juneau road would dead-end at new ferry terminal. Even worse, the operating costs would go up because the State will be responsible for running a ferry and bombing the forty-plus avalanche chutes.

It’s no wonder the people of Haines, Skagway and Juneau have repeatedly stated a preference for community-to-community ferry service. If only we had a Governor who would listen to local communities and make decisions based on the best interest of the State.

A new Pew survey Bob Franken shows that nearly a third of the respondents believe their house of worship should be allowed, encouraged, to give political endorsements ... coming out in favor of candidates. Absolutely: Let’s get rid of that prohibition, particularly since it’s such a charade. But then we also should eliminate the tax deduction for the different churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, etc.

One could argue that such favorable treatment is an endorsement of religion that should be eliminated, but let’s not go there, because now we’re talking about money, which is really impolite.

violence in their demands for compliance to their oppressive interpretations of morality and vicious punishment for deviating from it. It’s hyperbole to use terms like “Taliban” to describe all but a few of the most hardscrabble zealots. For a large part, in this country we take pride in honoring someone’s right to faith or lack of faith.

Except when we don’t. The question of gay marriage is just the latest arena that has been flooded with dogma. When we strip away the foolish arguments about propagation and a large amount of ignorant prejudice, we’re left with an opposition based on homosexuality violating “God’s law.” We hear it not just from Christians but hardliners from so many other religions. They cite their scriptures to make their point, and never mind that those same scriptures can be interpreted to justify anything.

They’re entitled to their beliefs, but because there are so many of them, and they vote, we are left with what John Adams called a “tyranny of the majority.” It’s happened throughout our history, when the momentary popular passion of the times has backed various noxious oppressions.

On the other hand, a beautiful part of our tradition is the profession of religious tolerance woven into our fundamental law.

We can’t let the Antonin Scalias of this nation rip it from our fabric.

Justices stop parts of Texas abortion law

By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked key parts of a 2013 law in Texas that had closed all but eight facilities providing abortions in America’s second most-populous state.

In an unsigned order, the justices sided with abortion rights advocates and health care providers in suspending an Oct. 2 ruling by a panel of the New Orleans-based U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals that Texas could immediately apply a rule making abortion clinics statewide spend millions of dollars on hospitallevel upgrades.

The court also put on hold a provision of the law only as it applies to clinics in McAllen and El Paso that requires doctors at the facilities to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. The admitting privileges rule remains in effect elsewhere in Texas.

Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence

Thomas said they would have ruled against the clinics in all respects.

The 5th Circuit is still considering the overall constitutionality of the sweeping measure overwhelmingly passed by the GOP-controlled Texas Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry last year.

Even as it weighs the merits of the law, the appeals court had said it could be enforced — opening the door for the emergency appeal to the Supreme Court.

“We’re seeing the terrible impact these restrictions have on thousands of Texas women who effectively no longer have access to safe and legal abortion,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

“We’re relieved that the court stepped in to stop this, and we hope this dangerous law is ultimately overturned completely.”

Abortion opponents predicted they will ultimately prevail.

“This does not protect the health and safety of women who

People protest in front of the Whole Women’s Health clinic Oct. 4, in McAllen, Texas. Abortion-rights lawyers are predicting “a showdown” at the U.S. Supreme Court after federal appellate judges allowed full implementation of a law that has closed more than 80 percent of Texas’ abortion clinics.

are undergoing abortion,” said Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life. “”This is definitely a short-term loss, but not necessarily a longterm loss.”

The 5th Circuit decision had blocked an August ruling

by Austin-based U.S. District

Judge Lee Yeakel, who had found that requiring hospitalstyle upgrades was less about safety than making access to abortion difficult. Yeakel’s ruling temporarily suspended the upgrade rules before they could go into effect Sept. 1 — and the order from the Supreme Court

means they are on hold again.

Allowing the rules on hospital-level upgrades to be enforced — including mandatory operating rooms and air filtration systems — shuttered more than a dozen clinics across Texas.

Until the nation’s highest court intervened, only abortion facilities in the Houston, Austin, San Antonio and the Dallas-Fort Worth areas remained open. And none was left along the Texas-Mexico border or outside any of the state’s largest urban areas.

Some other clinics had closed even earlier amid enforcement of the rule on admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. That portion has already been upheld twice by the appeals court.

The fight over the Texas law is the latest over tough new abortion restrictions that have been enacted across the country. The office of Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican who is the favorite in next month’s governor’s race, is leading the defense of the law.

Democrat Wendy Davis launched her campaign for governor behind the celebrity she achieved through a nearly 13-hour filibuster last summer that temporarily blocked the law’s passage. Davis said she was “thankful that women can continue to make their own personal decisions.” Abbott’s office said he would continue to defend the law.

Attorneys for the state have denied that Texas women would be burdened by fewer abortion facilities, saying nearly 9 in 10 would still live within 150 miles of a provider. The law’s opponents note that leaves nearly a million Texas women embarking on drives longer than three hours to get an abortion.

Hilltop Women’s Reproductive Services in El Paso has been referring women who want abortions to another clinic it owns in New Mexico. Gloria Martinez, Hilltop’s administrative nurse, said she would call state officials Wednesday before deciding whether the clinic will resume performing abortions.

US, Russia vow intel-sharing on Islamic State

PARIS — The United States and Russia vowed Tuesday to renew cooperation on a broad array of global security matters, including intelligence sharing on Islamic State militants, even as the two powers remained deeply at odds over the crisis in Ukraine.

Although Secretary of State John Kerry didn’t use the term “reset” — a relationshipmending term President Barack Obama coined in his first term to tighten US-Russian ties — he employed familiar language about managing differences

and forging a better partnership on matters where they agree.

After meeting for more than three hours in Paris with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Kerry said both sides need to recognize they have “major responsibilities” as world powers, from combating Islamist extremism in the Middle East to dealing with Iran and North Korea’s nuclear programs. As a concrete example of their work together, he said the U.S. and Russia would start sharing intelligence on the Islamic State militants, which the U.S. and allies are fighting in Iraq and Syria.

Lavrov, speaking separately,

confirmed intelligence-sharing would begin and also spoke positively about improving U.S.-Russian ties. “Mr. Kerry and I don’t represent warring sides,” he said.

The nations play a “special role” in the world, he said. “We can cooperate better together to increase the effectiveness of settling problems for larger society.

That especially concerns the fight against terrorism, which

has now become the main threat to the whole Mideast.”

The divide in their positions over Ukraine clearly persisted, however. Russia and its allied forces in the country must halt remaining violence in the restive east, pull back forces and weapons and release any hostages, Kerry said, noting that he’d told Lavrov that any independence referendums wouldn’t be recognized by the world.

The tone of Kerry’s news conference harkened back to the Obama administration’s first term, when Obama sought to reset ties between Washington and Moscow that were badly frayed by the 2008 war in Georgia and other tensions.

The spirit of goodwill yielded a nuclear arms reduction pact and some other diplomatic successes, but the relationship became increasingly defined by hostil-

ity after Vladimir Putin’s return to the presidency in 2012. The Ukraine crisis sent them to a post-Cold War low.

The “bulk” of Tuesday’s talks focused on issues other than Ukraine, Kerry stressed.

He highlighted the international campaign against the Islamic State group in particular, saying both countries recognize the group “has absolutely no place in the 21st century.”

Icahn aide: Taj has to close if union pact remains

By WAYNE PARRY Associated Press

WILMINGTON, Del. — A federal bankruptcy court judge will issue what the owners of Atlantic City’s Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort consider a life-or-death decision on Friday for the troubled gambling hall.

Trump Entertainment Resorts and billionaire investor Carl Icahn want the judge to cancel the casino’s union contract, saying it can’t survive without shedding costly pension and health care obligations.

Allan Brilliant, a lawyer for Icahn, told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross on Tuesday that Trump Entertainment needs the financial relief that breaking the union contract would provide. As the judge appeared to be making up his mind whether to rule on the question, Brilliant said if the decision went against the company, the business could not survive.

Trump Entertainment has threatened to close the casino

by Nov. 13 if it cannot shed its pension and health care obligations to the Taj Mahal’s 3,000 workers.

“If you don’t grant the ... motion, it’s just not viable as a business,” Brilliant said.

“Ultimately very quickly the casino will close. This is the window here; the window is open.”

Icahn, who owns the Taj Mahal’s $286 million in debt, would swap that debt for ownership of the casino, and invest $100 million into it. But that investment is contingent on massive government aid from Atlantic City and the state.

Kris Hansen, a lawyer for Trump Entertainment, made a similar argument.

“If you do grant it, we have a chance to stay alive,” Hansen said. “The cost structure of this casino doesn’t work, and it needs to be fixed. If we’re successful, employees get to keep their jobs, even though they made some concessions. Having a job is better than not having a job.”

Earlier in the day, he likened the Taj Mahal to a critically ill patient on an operating table with a room full of doctors all looking at each other, with no one doing anything to save the patient.

The company says it needs big union concessions and massive tax breaks from Atlantic City and New Jersey — both of which have already rejected the demand. It originally sought to have Atlantic City lower its property tax assessments by nearly 80 percent, to have the state contribute $25 million in tax credits, and for union workers to give up their pension and health insurance. It would provide $2,000 stipends for workers to find their own coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Kathy Krieger, a lawyer for Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union, said Icahn is trying to profit on the backs of the lowwage workers. She characterized Icahn’s stance as, “Let’s look at the poorest of the stakeholders here and make sure

they give up everything permanently before we’re even willing to move. That’s absolute nonsense. “ She said Icahn, who also owns the Tropicana Casino and Resort, is “asking for major concessions that will give him a huge competitive advantage over every other casino in Atlantic City.”

After getting a negative reaction from Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian and state Senate President Steve Sweeney, the company revised its financial request from the state. It is now seeking $175 million in relief through a socalled PILOT program — payments in lieu of taxes — and the receipt of two types of state economic grant not usually available to casinos: the Economic Redevelopment Grant and the Urban Revitalization Grant. State legislators would have to vote on letting the casinos into the program.

The Taj Mahal would be the fifth of Atlantic City’s 12 casinos to close this year. The

company was supposed to have told state casino regulators by Monday whether they planned to close the casino, but got an extension until Oct. 20 to see what the judge decides.

Its lawyers said the casino’s financial situation is so dire that it has been selling used mattresses and televisions from the closed Trump Plaza casino to generate extra cash.

US worker killed by ex-colleague in Saudi Arabia

By ABDULLAH AL-SHIHRI Associated Press

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — A Saudi-American dual national who was recently fired from a U.S. defense contractor shot two American ex-colleagues in Saudi Arabia’s capital, killing one and wounding the other in what appeared to be a settling of scores, security and diplomatic officials said.

The gunman, Abdulaziz Fahad Abdulaziz Alrashid, was taken into police custody after being injured a shootout with

Saudi security forces, said a statement released in Washington on behalf of the Saudi Embassy. Alrashid, 24, was recently dismissed from his job for drug-related issues, the statement said, citing the Saudi Interior Ministry for that information.

A person with knowledge of the shooting, who was not authorized to discuss the incident publicly, told The Associated Press that the shooter believed that the victim he shot dead had turned him in for the alleged drug use.

The victims were employees of Vinnell Arabia, a U.S. defense contractor supporting Saudi National Guard military programs in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, and were shot about a kilometer (half-mile) from its facility in the city, said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. The site, on the eastern side of the capital, is also near the Saudi National Guard headquarters.

“We are in close contact with the Saudi government as we continue to gather details about the shooting and motive,” Psaki

said. “We are in the process of evaluating our security posture and will take appropriate steps to ensure the safety of all U.S. Mission personnel.”

Randy Belote, a spokesman for Vinnell Arabia’s parent company, Northrop Grumman Corp., said in a statement that “As a long-term partner in Saudi Arabia, we offer our deepest sympathies to the family members of both Vinnell Arabia employees involved in the incident. We continue to support the Vinnell leadership as they work with Saudi authorities and

the State Dept. on this matter.”

The attack was likely to send chills through the Western expatriate workforce in the kingdom, which has been on alert for possible terrorism. In September, Saudi police said they had arrested 88 people suspected of being part of an al-Qaida cell that was planning attacks inside and outside the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia and four other Arab countries are taking part in U.S.-led airstrikes against the Islamic State group and alQaida fighters in Iraq and Syria.

Militants have vowed revenge.

Attacks by al-Qaida militants from 2003 to 2007 were aimed at destabilizing and toppling the Western-allied monarchy. Among the most stunning attacks were deadly bombings of residential compounds in Riyadh where foreigners lived in 2003.

Saudi officials responded at the time with a massive crackdown that saw many al-Qaida operatives killed or arrested.

Others fled to neighboring Yemen, giving birth to one of the group’s most active branches.

Details on infants found dead emerge

Around the World Federal government acknowledges it could have done more on Ebola

By DENISE LAVOIE AP Legal Affairs Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas — The nation’s top-disease fighting agency acknowledged Tuesday that an American nurse might not have been infected with Ebola if a special response team had been sent to Dallas immediately after a Liberian man there was diagnosed with Ebola.

The stark admission from the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention came as the World Health Organization projected the pace of infections accelerating in West Africa — to as many as 10,000 new cases a week within two months.

Agency Director Tom Frieden outlined a series of steps designed to stop the spread of the disease in the U.S., including increased training for health care workers and changes at the Texas hospital where the virus was diagnosed to minimize the risk of more infections.

The announcement of the effort came after top health officials repeatedly assured the public over the last two weeks that they were doing everything possible to control the outbreak by deploying infectious-disease specialists to the hospital where a Liberian man was diagnosed with Ebola and later died.

“I wish we had put a team like this on the ground the day the patient — the first patient — was diagnosed. That might have prevented this infection. But we will do that from today onward with any case anywhere in the U.S.,” Frieden said.

UXBRIDGE, Mass. — They were hidden away in closets just a few feet from where their siblings slept: the skeletal remains of three infants found in a squalid, vermin-infested house.

On Tuesday, a judge ordered a Massachusetts woman held on $1 million cash bail after prosecutors said at least two of the babies may have been alive for “some period of time” before they were discovered. Prosecutors had asked for $5 million bail and said Erika Murray could face more serious charges in a case that has repulsed residents of the small town of Blackstone.

Murray, 31, a resident of the town, had been held without bail since her arraignment last month on charges of fetal death concealment, witness intimida-

tion and permitting substantial injury to a child.

The state Department of Children and Families removed four children ranging in age from 5 months to 13 years from Murray’s home in August after her 10-year-old son asked a neighbor for help in quieting a crying baby. The neighbor found the youngest child — the 5-month-old girl — and a 3-year-old girl both covered in their own feces, in separate bedrooms.

Friends and neighbors have said Murray appeared to hide the existence of the two youngest children. A prosecutor said in court Tuesday that the two children had never been outside.

After interviewing the 10-year-old and 13-year-old, police got a search warrant and went back to the house, where they found the skeletal remains of one baby with a full head of

Turkish strikes on Kurds complicate US efforts to defeat Islamic State militants WASHINGTON — In a fresh test for U.S. coalitionbuilding efforts, Turkey is launching airstrikes against Kurdish rebels inside its borders this week despite pleas from the Obama administration to instead focus on an international campaign to destroy Islamic State militants wreaking havoc in the region.

Media reports about the Turkish strikes surfaced Tuesday as President Barack Obama and military chiefs from more than 20 nations gathered in Washington in a show of unity against the Islamic State group.

“This is an operation that involves the world against ISIL,” Obama declared, referring to the militant group by one of its many names.

The Turkish airstrikes occurred Monday and marked the country’s first major strikes against Kurdish rebels on its own soil since peace talks began two years ago. The strikes came amid anger among the Kurds in Turkey, who accuse the government there of standing by while Syrian Kurds are being killed by Islamic State militants in the besieged Syrian border town of Kobani. ­— The Associated Press

hair in a backpack in the closet of an upstairs bedroom.

After discovering those remains, police obtained another search warrant. During the second search, they found the remains of two other babies in another bedroom, also inside a closet. The two oldest children slept in the bedrooms.

Both bodies were found wearing diapers and one-piece infant outfits, Assistant District Attorney John Bradley said during a bail hearing for Murray in Uxbridge District Court.

Bradley said prosecutors still don’t know how the babies died or their ages and are awaiting findings from the state medical examiner’s office. He said the fact that two of the babies were clothed seems to indicate “at least two of the babies were alive for some period of time” before they died.

Bradley said the charges against Murray could be up-

graded, depending on the medical examiner’s findings.

Raymond Rivera III, identified in court as her live-in boyfriend, has not been charged in connection with the remains found inside the house. A friend of Rivera’s told The Boston Globe last month that Rivera was in “complete shock” when he learned he was the father of the two younger children.

Bradley said Murray’s 13-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son told police that Murray instructed them to lie to their father, Rivera, and say Murray was babysitting for the two younger children.

He faces drug charges for allegedly growing marijuana in the basement, and appeared briefly in Uxbridge District Court on Tuesday. A judge told Rivera he needs to hire an attorney. Rivera quickly left the courthouse while reporters were questioning Murray’s lawyer.

Strong explosion hits Cairo, leaving 12 injured CAIRO (AP) — A strong blast hit a busy district in central Cairo on Tuesday night, leaving 12 injured, Egypt’s official news agency reported, as a court sentenced seven Islamic militants to death over earlier terror attacks.

MENA quoted a senior security official as saying that the explosion was caused by a home-made bomb placed in the vicinity of a court house. The site of the attack is a busy district and near a subway station.

The agency quoted Mohammed Sultan, a health minister official as saying that the blast caused no deaths and that 12

people were injured. No further details were immediately available.

Egypt has witnessed a series of suicide bombings, assassinations and attacks over the past year after the military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi after demonstrations demanding his resignation.

Morsi’s ouster and a subsequent clamp down on his supporters sparked a wave of Islamic militants’ attacks targeting mainly police and army.

Most of the major attacks were carried by al-Qaidainspired group Ansar Beit

al-Maqdis or Champions of Jerusalem which is based in northern region of Sinai Peninsula where Egyptian army carried a yearlong offensive.

Earlier in the day, an Egyptian court sentenced seven convicted militants to death - all but one in absentia - over the killing of 25 soldiers last year.

The ruling focused on chief suspect Adel Ibrahim also known as Adel Habarra, who is in custody and whom authorities said has been previously convicted in connection to bombings in the Red Sea resort of Taba in 2004, a claim his lawyers denied.

Authorities have said he is a senior member of Ansar Beit al-Maqdis. The group did not claim responsibility for the killing of the 25 soldiers.

The decision is to be reviewed by the country’s grand Mufti, whose opinion is consultative. A final ruling is scheduled to be issued on Dec. 6.

The attack last year saw militants ambush two minibuses carrying off-duty policemen in broad daylight near the border town of Rafah, days after security forces killed hundreds of people in a crackdown on sprawling protest camps in Cairo set up by Morsi supporters.

Protests have waned amid the ongoing crackdown on Morsi supporters and other government critics. But as the school year started this week, students rallied at many universities across the country. Security forces stormed at least two large universities to quell demonstrations.

Human Rights Watch said Tuesday that more than 110 university students have been arrested since Saturday. The rights group said security forces arrested students in their homes and from the protests on university campuses. Human Rights Watch called on Egyptian au-

thorities to release the students, saying the arrests “appear to be solely directed at the students’ peaceful exercise of the right to free assembly.”

“This mass arrest of students is a pre-emptive strike on free speech and free assembly,” said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director, in the statement.

Security forces have permanently deployed around a number of campuses, and universities enacted new regulations to curb student activities. Last year universities saw regular protests that routinely descended into violence.

Conservative bishops move away from gay overture

By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — A fight for the soul of the Catholic Church has broken out, and the first battlefield is a document on family values that pits increasingly alarmed conservatives against more progressive bishops emboldened by Pope Francis’ vision of a church that is more merciful than moralistic.

On Tuesday, conservative bishops distanced themselves from the document’s unprecedented opening toward gays and divorced Catholics, calling it an “unacceptable” deviation from church teaching that doesn’t reflect their views and vowing to make changes to the final version.

The report, released midway through a Vatican meeting on such hot-button family issues as marriage, divorce, homosexuality and birth control, signaled a radical shift in tone about welcoming gays, divorced Catholics and unmarried couples into the church.

Its message was one of almost-revolutionary acceptance and understanding rather than condemnation. Gays, it said, had gifts to offer the church and their partnerships, while morally problematic, provided gay couples with “precious” support. The church, it added, must welcome divorced people and recognize the “positive” aspects of civil marriages and even Catholics who live together without being married.

The leaders of the bishops’ meeting, or synod, that produced it stressed Tuesday that it was merely a working paper and was never intended to be a statement of church doctrine, but rather a reflection of bishops’ views that will be debated and amended before a final version is released on Saturday.

Still, its dramatic shift in tone thrilled progressives and gay rights groups, and dismayed conservatives already deeply uncomfortable with Francis’ aim to make the church a “field hospital” for wounded souls that focuses far less on the rules

and regulations emphasized by his two predecessors.

The document was remarkable both in what it said and what it didn’t say: Absent were assertions of Catholic doctrine present in most church documents that gay sex is “intrinsically disordered” and that couples who cohabitate are “living in sin.” In their place were words of affirmation and welcome.

“The report, obviously composed under pressure, has easily given rise to some misinterpretation,” British Cardinal Vincent Nichols said Tuesday.

“It is not a doctrinal or decisive document. It is, as stated in its conclusion, ‘intended to raise questions and indicate perspectives that will have to be matured and made clearer on reflection.’”

Several conservatives who participated in the synod immediately distanced themselves from the report. The head of the Polish bishops’ conference, Cardinal Stanislaw Gadecki, called it “unacceptable” and a devia-

C

tion from church teaching.

South African Cardinal Wilfrid Fox Napier said the report didn’t reflect the opinion of the synod in its entirety and contained problematic positions.

He hoped the final report “will show the vision of the synod as a whole and not the vision of a particular group.”

“My worry is that the message has gone out — and it’s not a true message — that this synod has taken up these positions, and whatever we say hereafter is going to be as if we’re doing some damage control, which is certainly not what is in my mind,” he told reporters.

Hard-line American Cardinal Raymond Burke, the head of the Vatican’s supreme court, told Catholic World Report that the document contained positions “which many synod Fathers do not accept and, I would say, as faithful shepherds of the flock cannot accept.”

He accused the Vatican press operation of releasing “manipulated” information about the synod debate that didn’t reflect

the “consistent number of bishops” who opposed such a tone.

To some extent, he had a point.

The Vatican has greatly reduced independent access to information about the closeddoor proceedings, withholding bishops’ individual speeches from public view, much to the dismay of Burke and other conservatives who want their side known. The only information released has been summaries of the day’s debate by the Vatican spokesman, whose briefings have reflected a general a tone of opening and welcome.

The briefings made scant reference to gays at all, and yet the provisional report gave significant ink to the issue. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said while he only recalled one major speech about gays out of 265, it was likely that bishops’ written remarks covered the material and were reflected in the document.

The big question looming is how the battle over the final

document will shake out.

The bishops themselves elected a host of known conservatives to lead the working groups hammering out details of the final report. In an apparent bid to counter their influence, Francis appointed six progressives to draft the final document.

The Vatican on Tuesday highlighted areas that will be debated in the coming days. In a summary of bishops’ reactions, the Vatican press office said bishops had “appreciated” the report but that some offered additional reflections “to bring together various points of view.”

These bishops suggested that the final document highlight faithful Catholic families to avoid “a near-exclusive focus on imperfect family situations.”

On gays, they said “prudence” was required “so that the impression of a positive evaluation of such a tendency on the part of the church is not created.”

Hong Kong police clear protesters out of tunnel

By KELVIN CHAN and SYLVIA HUI Associated Press

HONG KONG — Hundreds of Hong Kong police officers moved in early Wednesday to clear pro-democracy protesters out of a tunnel outside the city government headquarters, clashing with protesters in the worst violence since the demonstrations began more than two weeks ago.

Officers, many of them in riot gear and wielding pepper spray, pushed back the crowd and tore down barricades and removed concrete slabs the protesters used as road blocks around the underpass.

The operation came hours after a large group of protesters blockaded the tunnel, expand-

ing their protest zone after being cleared out of some other streets. The protesters outnumbered the police officers, who later returned with reinforcements to clear the area.

Police said they had to disperse the protesters because they were disrupting public order and gathering illegally. They arrested 37 men and 8 women during the clashes, which police said injured four officers.

A police spokesman told local television that none of those arrested were hurt.

“I have to stress here that even though protesters raised their hands in their air it does not mean it was a peaceful protest,” said the spokesman, Tsui Wai-Hung. He said some protesters kicked the officers and attacked them with their um-

‘I have to stress here that even though protesters raised their hands in their air it does not mean it was a peaceful protest.’

— Tsui Wai-Hung, spokesman brellas.

Local television channel TVB showed footage of around six police officers taking a man aside, placing him on the ground and kicking him. Tsui did not provide details of the incident when questioned by reporters.

Officers took away many protesters, their hands tied with plastic cuffs, and pushing others out to a nearby park.

The student-led protesters are now into their third week of

occupying key parts of the city to pressure the Asian financial hub’s government over curbs recommended by Beijing on democratic reforms.

The protests have been largely peaceful, but turned violent overnight, apparently in response to police stepping up action in the past two days to remove barricades and close in on the main protest zone.

Positions on both sides have been hardening since the government called off negotiations

last week, citing the unlikelihood of a constructive outcome given their sharp differences.

The protesters want Hong Kong’s deeply unpopular Beijing-backed leader, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, to resign.

They also want the Hong Kong government to drop plans for a pro-Beijing committee to screen candidates for the inaugural election to choose his replacement.

Leung has said there is “almost zero chance” that China’s government will change its rules for the election, promised for 2017.

The demonstrations have posed an unprecedented challenge to the government. Organizers say as many as 200,000 people thronged the streets for peaceful sit-ins after police used tear gas on Sept. 28 to disperse

the unarmed protesters. The numbers have seen dwindled.

Police have chipped away at the protest zones in three areas across the city by removing barricades from the edges of the protest zones, signaling growing impatience with activists’ occupation of busy streets.

The clearance operation was the latest in a day of tit-for-tat actions between authorities and demonstrators that began Tuesday morning when police used chainsaws and sledgehammers to tear down barricades on a road on the edge of the protest zone.

Activists responded Tuesday evening by barricading the tunnel with tires, metal barricades, water-filled plastic safety barriers and concrete slabs taken from drainage ditches.

UN rights chief: Libyan civil society under threat CAIRO (AP) — The U.N. human rights chief warned Tuesday that civil society, bloggers and professionals in Libya face a “climate of fear” created by warring militias whose clashes left 17 dead in western region.

Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein says his agency has received numerous reports of assaults targeting rights advocates in Libya including murder, abduction and death threats. Many have fled or suspended their work.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a statement that the attacks amount to “war crimes.” He said perpetrators benefit from “total impunity” for such attacks and threaten Libya’s few

independent voices.

In one incident last month, two well-known activists were among 10 people killed in eastern Benghazi.

Violence and rivalries have deeply split Libya, which has fallen into chaos since the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that toppled dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

Militias mostly from the coastal city of Misrata and allied to Islamist political factions took control of the capital after fierce battles with rival anti-Islamist militias mostly from the mountain town of Zintan. The battles left hundreds dead, displaced thousands and forced diplomats and foreigners to flee.

On Tuesday, fighting continued in vicinity of small western town of Kikla, nearly 150 kilometers (93 miles) west of Tripoli, leaving 17 dead, according to a hospital official. The deaths bring total number of people

killed over the past four days to over 60 and 170 injured.

In eastern Libya, a new round of battles appeared imminent after renegade Gen. Khalifa Hifter announced in a late televised statement new of-

fensive to “liberate” Benghazi, second largest city, “from terrorists.”

Benghazi has fallen into hands of Islamist extremist militias in the past few months.

The militias overran army bar-

racks and seized large amounts of weapons.

Hifter’s forces called for an “armed uprising” on Wednesday in Benghazi, urging youth to carry weapons and fight for their own neighborhoods.

Stars “Dig Pink” and notch sweep of Kards

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

There was a lot on the line Tuesday night, and the host Soldotna volleyball team responded with a 25-19, 25-17 and 25-17 Northern Lights Conference victory over Kenai Central.

“Kenai is our rival and it was senior night,” Soldotna coach Sheila Kupferschmid said after her squad moved to 4-5 in the league and 8-5 overall. “We know Kenai has a very good team.

“I just think the kids were up for it.”

In addition, the match was a Dig Pink event. Dig Pink matches are fundraisers for the Side-Out Foundation. According to the organization’s website, Side-Out was established in 2004 to unite volleyball players and coaches in working toward breast cancer awareness, education and patient services.

Both the Stars and Kardinals (1-8, 5-8) came into the game after losing all three NLC matches on a weekend trip to the Matanuska-Susitna valleys.

“They were all so close,” Kupfer-

schmid said. “I told the kids to stay strong for senior night. I’m happy. The seniors played so well.”

In addition to losing three on the Valley swing, Kenai had two seniors leave the team Monday. Kenai coach Tracie Beck said her team was able to overcome that and bring a lot of energy.

“I’m really proud of the girls stepping up and taking care of business,” Beck said.

The Stars were able to give seniors Taylor Wilson, Skylar Shaw, Hayley Ramsell, Haley Miller, Alex Ashe and Bailey Rosin a night to remember by getting stronger as the games, and as the match, wore on.

In the first game, the Kards had a 12-10 lead and trailed 19-18, but Ramsell, who had nine kills, two aces and two blocks, served out the last three points for the win.

“If the games were to 16, it would have been a fun night,” Beck said.

In the second game, Kenai had a 15-14 lead and had the game tied at 16, but SoHi got five straight service points from Rosin in rolling to the 25-17 win.

The Stars missed four serves in the game, but Kupferschmid said she was pleased with the service game overall because it kept Kenai off-balance, thus keeping the Kards’ hitters from getting rolling.

The coach said that because SoHi doesn’t have a lot of height, merely trying to get each serve in is not an option. She said the key is to find consistency and not misfire too often, as was the case when the Stars missed 21 serves in a close loss to Palmer.

“Anymore, this game is a slugfest, and that goes all the way back to the service line,” Kupferschmid said.

But placement can still count as much a power, and that’s why SoHi cruised in Game 3, taking a 17-10 lead and riding it home.

While Ramsell is able to rely on power, Shaw (six kills, 21 digs), Makenna Rosin (five kills) and Bailey Rosin (six service points, six kills, 20 digs) found the holes in the Kenai defense.

“They were doing a good job of hitting their spots,” Kupferschmid said.

The coach also said Lindsey Wong,

who had eight service points, three kills, five digs and two blocks, did a great job setting up the offense. Meanwhile, Ashe was steady in the back row with 27 digs.

For the Kards, Abby Beck had six kills, three assists and 13 digs, Kiana Harding had five kills and three aces, Kyla Whannell had a pair of kills and Alli Steinbeck had seven assists.

“The girls were definitely getting after it,” coach Beck said. “We’ll take this and grow as we get more confidence in our rotation.”

Soldotna hosts Anchorage Christian Schools on Friday at 6 p.m. and Grace Christian on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The Kards host Homer on Friday at 5:30 p.m. and ACS on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.

Homer 3, Nikiski 1 The Mariners avenged a loss to the Bulldogs earlier in the season to pull even in the season count Tuesday evening in Homer.

Homer won with game scores of 25-22, 25-14, 23-25 and 25-19.

Leading the charge were seniors Larsen Fellows and Jane Rohr with 12 kills each. Fellows added six service aces, and McKi Needham and Rohr had four apiece. Kayla Pittman added eight kills and Maggie Larue had 20 digs.

Nikiski coach Stacey Segura said for reasons that she could not explain, her defense played sluggishly.

“It was unusual for us, we’re usually pretty quick,” Segura said. “I don’t think we showed up really until the third game, and that was the first time we were able to get ahead.”

Senior libero Laura Hufford still managed to provide 31 digs for the Bulldogs. Additionally, Rachel Thompson had 17 assists and 12 digs.

Brittany Perry and Brianna Vollertson each notched six kills, Ayla Pitt had five kills, and Zykiah Cooney sent out three serving aces.

Nikiski, which is 5-3 in the Southcentral Conference (8-6 overall), will face Cordova in a pair of conference matches Friday and Saturday in Cordova.

Isles win battle Royals 1 game from World Series Kansas City of New York outpitches The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Kyle Okposo scored his 100th NHL goal to snap a tie 48 seconds into the third period, and the undefeated New York Islanders netted four goals on seven shots in the final frame to beat the sliding New York Rangers 6-3 on Tuesday night.

The Islanders, who opened with a home-and-home sweep of Carolina, improved to 3-0 when they broke loose for four goals in the first 10:59 of the third to send the Rangers (1-3) to their third straight loss. Okposo made the most of the second costly turnover by defenseman Michael Kostka to score his first of the season.

Brock Nelson made it 4-2 at 4:50 with his fourth goal, and Mikhail Grabovski connected 30 seconds later to make it a three-goal edge. Ryan Strome assisted on those two goals that left Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist on his knees and shaking his head.

DEVILS 2, LIGHTNING 1 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Cory Schneider made 26 saves, Mike Cammalleri had a tiebreaking goal in the third period, and the Devils beat the Lightning to extend their season-opening winning streak to three games, all on the road.

Travis Zajac had the other New Jersey goal.

Alex Killorn scored for the Lightning, who completed a season-opening four game homestand at 2-1-1. Evgeni Nabokov stopped 23 shots in his Tampa Bay debut.

With Lightning star Steven Stamkos serving a minor penalty, Cammalleri gave New Jersey a 2-1 lead from near the post at 11:19 of the third.

MAPLE LEAFS 3, AVALANCHE 2 TORONTO (AP) — Phil Kessel scored 34 seconds into over-

time and the Maple Leafs earned a win over the Avalanche.

James van Riemsdyk and Joffrey Lupul also scored for Toronto. Goaltender James Reimer, who took a delay of game penalty in the third period, made 22 saves to pick up another victory in his second straight start.

Ryan O’Reilly and Matt Duchene scored for Colorado. With a pair of assists, former Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla picked up his first two points with his new team.

Colorado goaltender Semyon Varlamov was sharp in making 37 saves.

STARS 4, BLUE JACKETS 2 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Tyler Seguin scored three goals, including the tiebreaker with 7:44 left in the third, lifting the Stars a victory over the Blue Jackets for their first win of the season.

Seguin redirected Jamie Benn’s shot to give the Stars the lead then added an empty-netter.

Benn scored and three assists for the Stars, who matched their goal total while starting 0-1-1.

Kari Lehtonen had 33 saves, including several in the closing minutes.

Ryan Johansen scored both goals for the Blue Jackets, who were trying to get to 3-0 for the first time in the franchise’s 14 seasons. Jack Johnson added two assists and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 31 shots.

SHARKS 6, CAPITALS 5, SO WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Irwin and John Scott were unlikely goal-scorers, and the previously stingy San Jose Sharks finally sprung a leak or two before coming away with a shootout victory over the Capitals.

Ferguson wins 100th as UAF hockey coach FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — University of Alaska men’s hockey coach Dallas Ferguson has reached a milestone.

With the Nanooks’ 5-2 win over Maine Saturday, Ferguson won his 100th game as Alaska’s coach, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.

“To be honest I wasn’t aware that the win was my 100th until the team presented me with the game puck,” Ferguson said in a release. “But, I love coaching and I love the University of Alaska, so to reach this milestone is an incredible honor.”

Ferguson was hired in 2008 to lead Alaska after serving four years as an assistant. He has taken the school to its only NCAA tournament appearance in 20 10. His teams have won at least 16 games in five of his first six seasons.

His record at the Fairbanks university is 100-96-32.

“He has truly built a successful hockey program in the right way, and we look forward to many more wins,” Nanooks athletic director Gary Gray said.

He has coached more than 30 players who have gone to play professionally, including New York Islanders goalie Chad Johnson.

The Wainwright, Alberta, native played for the Nanooks from 1992-96. He had 17 goals and 87 assists for 104 total points, putting him at 24th on the Nanooks’ all-time scoring list.

Saturday’s win over the Black Bears in Anchorage gave Alaska its first Kendall Hockey Classic title since 2009.

This weekend the Nanooks will host the Brice Alaska Gold Rush tourney in Fairbanks.

Other teams participating are Air Force, Penn State and Alaska Anchorage.

Baltimore to grab 3-0 lead in ALCS

DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mike Moustakas had his eye on the ball from the moment it left Adam Jones’s bat, tracking it against the bright lights of Kauffman Stadium. When it settled into his glove and he tumbled into a dugout suite, a dozen fans were waiting to pick him right back up.

Just like Moustakas has picked up his team during its perfect postseason.

The third baseman with the four playoff homers dazzled with his glove Tuesday night.

And when Billy Butler drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, the long-downtrodden Kansas City Royals were on their way to a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles and a commanding 3-0 lead in their AL Championship Series.

“It really did fire up the whole stadium,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said of his teammate’s circus catch.

“Hats off to the fans in the dugout suite, pick him up and put him back on the field. That was great. Moose finding ways to get it done.”

The entire team has found ways to get it done. The wildcard Royals have won 10 straight postseason games, including all seven this year, in their first playoff appearance in 29 years.

The only thing that’s slowed Kansas City so far was a rainout Monday.

“We’ve got a snowball effect going right now,” Butler said. “The confidence couldn’t be any higher. That’s when you come to the park each day, focus on the next pitch, focus on

your job and just not be the guy to end the streak.”

Fresh off a combined threehitter, Kansas City will send Jason Vargas to the mound for Game 4 on Wednesday, trying to advance to its first World Series since 1985. Miguel Gonzalez will go to the mound

for the Orioles.

“It’s hard to take advantage of mistakes when they’re not making any,” Orioles first baseman Steve Pearce said.

“This is tough, man. We’ve got one loss left. We’ve got to find a way to start pulling this out. We got to find somebody

to get it done.”

The Orioles are the 34th team to trail 3-0 in a best-ofseven major league postseason series — the only team to come back and win was the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees, STATS said.

Giants top Cards on error in NLCS JANIE McCAULEY AP Baseball Writer

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A wild pitch, a wide throw and an 18-inning marathon.

These playoff-tested Giants keep finding wacky ways to win in another special October.

An errant throw by reliever Randy Choate on a bunt allowed Brandon Crawford to score the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting San Francisco over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the NL Championship Series.

“Everybody’s saying: ‘How are the Giants doing it? How are the Giants winning games?’” said Gregor Blanco, who laid down the sacrifice. “We just reC

ally believe in each other. We play together.”

Crawford drew an eightpitch walk from Choate to begin the inning, ending a stretch of 16 straight Giants retired since Tim Hudson’s two-out single in the fourth. After failing on two sacrifice attempts, Juan Perez singled to bring up Blanco.

Blanco fouled off a bunt try, too, but then pushed one to the third-base side of the mound and the left-handed Choate’s side-arm throw sailed past lunging second baseman Kolten Wong, who was covering first base.

“We had trouble getting the bunt down,” Crawford said.

“So I was happy he got it down.

He put it in a great spot and made those guys make a play,

and fortunately (we) saw the throw go wide.”

Randal Grichuk tied it with a solo homer in the seventh that chased Hudson.

Game 4 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night, with Ryan Vogelsong pitching for the Giants against fellow righty Shelby Miller.

Choate blamed himself. He has done pitcher fielding practice for decades.

“He did exactly what I wanted him to do,” the pitcher said. “It was easy. It was right there and I blew it. The ball just sailed on me.”

This walkoff win came 12 years to the day after Kenny Lofton’s single in the ninth inning ended the 2002 NLCS against the Cardinals and sent

the Giants to the World Series.

It also came on a day Hall of Famer Willie McCovey surprised players with his return to the ballpark after a long stint in the hospital nursing an infection.

“Is this a rule we can’t hit a home run?” a relieved manager Bruce Bochy joked, sitting back in his office chair.

In the Division Series clincher only a week earlier against Washington, Joe Panik scored the go-ahead run in a 3-2 win on Aaron Barrett’s bases-loaded wild pitch. That came after winning Game 2 2-1 in 18 innings.

The Giants also scored the tying run in the ninth inning Sunday on a wild pitch, a 5-4 loss in Game 2 of the NLCS.

Winston’s attorney challenges FSU KAREEM COPELAND Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The adviser for the family of Jameis Winston has asked Florida State why it has chosen now to engage in the Title IX process and accuses the school of trying to protect its own interests and responding to media pressure, according to a letter obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.

Florida State announced last week it will use an independent official in a student code of conduct hearing. A female student said Winston sexually assaulted her in December 2012.

Attorney David Cornwell notes in a letter that university and federal policy requires a timely investigation. He asks university officials why Florida State has ignored those guidelines and writes that Winston deserves a prompt explanation.

Winston was never arrested and Florida State Attorney Willie Meggs declined to press charges against Winston last December due to a lack of evidence.

The AP does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual abuse.

No date has been set for the university hearing. Florida State has notified Winston that the hearing will be held to be determined if four sections

of the code of conduct have been violated, two for sexual misconduct, two for endangerment. The quarterback has five class days from last Friday to respond to the university.

Florida State spokeswoman Browning Brooks Tuesday declined comment beyond what the university released in its timeline last week. However, she referred to two passages in the release that she said explains the delay in which Cornwell is inquiring about.

In the release, Florida State said the athletic department did not file a report with the Title IX administrator or Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities after Winston and two other student-athletes that were present said the sex was consensual. The decision was based on that and the Tallahassee Police Department’s decision not to press charges in January 2013.

The university also said because the Victims Advocate Program continued to have “confidential interactions” with the woman for months, they were “duty-bound not to share any of the information with FSU Title IX officials.”

The university stated that the woman was not made available for an interview with the school until Aug. 6, 2014. The woman’s lawyers have maintained that she was willing to talk throughout the process.

Alaska.

Mallott was the only candidate to speak in support of raising the minimum wage, which he said will stimulate the economy over time. The currently proposed raises are very modest, he said.

“The government should not be trying to artificially set minimum wage standards,” Sullivan said. “That is not the role of the government.”

Lee agreed with Sullivan, saying he does not want the government to interfere with contracts between individuals.

In terms of the Alaska LNG Project, he said the state should be acting as a partner to facilitate success, not to be in a position of ownership.

“I personally believe the pipeline is a pipe dream,” Lee said.

Mallott said he believes the project should move forward in a way that does not create divisiveness within the state.

Sullivan said other methods of generating revenue exist in Alaska, such as the sedentary timber industry, which could be managed as a viable renewable resource. He also pointed to the potential for manufacturing, utilizing some of Alaska’s natural resources.

Each candidate agreed Alaska is a resource rich state, with the potential for a strong economy, if those resources are properly exploited.

often attributed his viewpoint as aligning with Libertarian standards.

The Libertarian ticket is the only one on the ballot to endorse the pro-choice position and strongly supports funding to public schools, Lee said.

When it comes to Proposition 2 and the potential for legalization in Alaska, Lee said he supports the libertarian viewpoint that citizens should be allowed the maximum amount of personal freedoms, as long as they do not harm others. But he said during campaigning he has met pot smokers who will be voting against the proposition.

“If you like your drug dealer, you keep your drug dealer, but maybe Prop 2 doesn’t help that,” Lee said.

Sullivan said he has somewhat of a libertarian streak in him and agrees people should be able to do what they want in their own homes. However, legalized recreational marijuana may limit eligible workers who are abiding by state law, but want to work for a company that requires a drug test to get hired on.

Mallott said legalization is creating an industry Alaska does not need. Substance abuse is already a local issue here, he said.

let setnetters find themselves on an increasingly restrictive fishing schedule due to low numbers of king salmon returning to area streams.

Between the two types of commercial fishing in the Upper Cook Inlet, drift gillnetting boats caught approximately 1.47 million sockeye salmon, or about 64 percent of the total salmon harvest in Upper Cook Inlet. In 2013, drift fishermen caught about 1.65 million sockeye salmon, compared to the setnet harvest of 992,000 fish.

In 2012, when setnet fishermen were shut down for the bulk of the season, drift fishermen took nearly 93 percent of the total salmon harvest.

Typically, harvest is more evenly split between drift and set gillnet fishermen, said Commercial Area Management Biologist Pat Shields in a previous Clarion interview. However, as sockeye salmon continue to return to the inlet in large numbers and king salmon numbers continue to drop, disparities in harvest between the two gear types have become more pronounced.

“Typically it’s not quite a fifty-fifty split between drifters and setnetters,” said Assistant

by all age groups and different user groups with different purposes in mind,” said Homer Police Chief Mark Robl in a phone interview last Friday.

The big issue most everyone at last week’s meeting complained about was reckless driving, vehicles on the beach and how to control use.

Robl said during the school year, Bishop’s Beach becomes a hangout for high school age teenagers, with reckless driving a major problem.

“You’ll see a bunch of them racing around there at lunch time, and then right after school it gets hit pretty hard,” he said.

holds roundtables on military issues.

The Democrat said that while his party usually doesn’t win the majority of veterans’ votes, he has a strong record. Begich beat a veteran to become mayor of Anchorage, and he won the state’s three military bases in his 2006 race against Sen. Ted Stevens, who was a veteran.

“In Alaska, veterans are a big deal,” Begich said in an interview. “I can show a record of delivering services.”

It’s not just the range of military facilities that pulls veterans to Alaska — it’s the adventurous, gun-friendly, live-and-letlive lifestyle, said David Joslin, a former combat medic who was wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Guys that spent a decade at war, we don’t want the (issues) of the lower 48,” said Joslin, 42.

Tony Unsderfer, an avid hunter and gold-miner, sat at the VFW in Eagle River, pointing out the mounted wolverine that he shot.

When talk switched to politics, Unsderfer, a Vietnam veteran, said he was voting for Sullivan.

“He’s an old military guy, too,” Unsderfer said of the Republican candidate.

Area Management Biologist Aaron Dupuis. “Usually the drifters get a bit more, but the difference increased quite a bit since we’ve had a low abundance of kings.”

Among setnetters, a disparity in harvest on the east side of the Cook Inlet was also more pronounced as setnetters in the Kenai and East Forelands section of the set gillnet fishery found themselves in the water for 6 openings during the 2014 fishing season, while the Kasilof section was opened 14 times.

However, a special harvest area concentrated at the mouth of the Kasilof River and open to all setnet fishermen who fish on the east side of the Cook Inlet was opened for hundreds of hours in July.

The total sockeye salmon harvest in the upper subdistrict was approximately 705,000 fish — the second lowest since 2001.

“It’s not unprecedented for them to fish those few days,” Dupuis said of the set gillnet fishery. “There have been times when we’re trying to make goals in the Kenai River that they’re kept out of the water.

But, given the abundance of sockeye salmon in the inlet, it is unusual for them to be kept out of water.”

Dupuis said the low numbers of king salmon — a fish caught

more often in the setnet fishery than in the drift gillnet fishery — are primarily responsible for the restrictive fishing regime setnetters find themselves operating under.

Elsewhere in Upper Cook Inlet, setnetters in the western subdistrict, fished three 16-hour periods a week from July 5 through August 5 as the Crescent River sockeye run was considered above-average. Setnetters in that district caught 29,500 sockeye salmon.

Kalgin Island commercial fishermen and those in the Northern District were below average. On Kalgin Island, approximately 39,000 sockeye salmon were harvested — the 10-year average is 64,000 — and in the Northern District 35,700 sockeye salmon were harvested, which is about 60 percent less than the 47-year average.

In addition to sockeye, commercial fishermen harvested nearly 134,00 coho salmon, about 29 percent less than the 10-year average; 632,000 pink salmon, about 75 percent greater than the 10-year harvest; and about 115,000 chum salmon.

Approximately 4,331 king salmon were caught in the commercial fisheries in the entirety of Cook Inlet, or about 70 percent less than the previous 10year average.

In the Lower Cook Inlet,

pink salmon harvests were much higher than those of other salmon. Fishermen harvested 298,000 of them, and the vast majority were caught in the Outer District, an area along the eastern side of the Kenai Peninsula that starts southeast of Elizabeth Island and runs north along the coast toward Seward, ending at a point just south of Aialik Bay. Fishermen harvested nearly 164,000 pink salmon in that district, though that figure was down from a ten-year harvest average of about 546,000 pink salmon. Commercial harvests of sockeye and chum salmon in the Outer District were significantly higher than the ten-year harvest average in the area.

Elsewhere in Lower Cook Inlet, fishermen caught fewer chinook salmon, sockeye salmon and chum salmon than the 10-year harvest average, according to the preliminary lower Cook Inlet season summary.

When the season ended, commercial fishing and hatchery cost recovery and brood stock gathering efforts led to a harvest estimate of about 651,000 salmon — about 68 percent by the commercial fishermen and 32 percent by hatcheries, according to the summary.

ing short trips to and from the beach, Ostwald said.

“It’s a drug problem,” he said. “It’s a perfect spot for them. They can see what’s coming.”

That’s a challenge for police, Robl said. Cops make frequent patrols, but it’s hard to sneak up on the beach.

An ordinance passed last summer would help address the speeding issue. The council appropriated $84,000 for speed bumps and solar-power speed awareness signs to go in next spring. The signs would gauge a car’s speed and flash the number.

Limiting driving on the beach would be a bigger challenge. Historically, Bishop’s Beach has been a highway between towns and cabins. People also drive the beach to collect

coal for burning in stoves or to get to setnet sites, activities some said should be by permit.

Robl said it would be hard to enforce a permitting process for vehicles using the beach.

“There might be a middleof-the-road answer, something like closing the beach during hours of darkness,” he said.

The city prohibits vehicles in areas like Beluga Slough, Mariner Park Slough, the end of the Spit and the east end of Mud Bay. Under a “cooperation, not regulation” guideline set by the Beach Policy Committee in 2003, signs suggest pedestrian access for the east end of Bishop’s Beach — the side to the left from the parking lot. That hasn’t worked, as a hard-packed trail to the east shows.

Another issue has been ille-

gal camping on private and city property. Robl said the rules for camping on city property are clear: It’s prohibited except in designated camping areas, like on the Homer Spit. Camping on Bishop’s Beach is illegal — but OK if on private property with permission of the landowner.

The tents near Woodard Creek are on private property.

Defining private property in the Bishop’s Beach area can get tricky, but generally city land starts at mean high tide or a tide of 17.5 feet, said City Planner Rick Abboud.

Robl said if landowners have unwanted campers on their property, they should call police. Police have warned several campers of illegal camping.

Landowners also can prohibit partying or making campfires on their property.

hrough the years, a few of our friends have met to celebrate our birthdays. With our busy summer schedules, if we did not do take the time, we would not see them and friends are important. We decided to meet for birthdays at different restaurants, but on this occasion we were invited to Judy and Jim Platz, beautiful bed and breakfast, Call of the River, on the banks of the Kenai River, to celebrate Susan’s birthday.

Everyone brought a favorite dish or casserole and we had a grand time catching up on the news. Dolores brought her Pinni machine and all the ingredients to make a wonderful sandwich. I made the birthday carrot cake. I am sorry I cannot remember all the other delicious food that every one contributed, because Bernie made this day hilarious!

Susan, Marty, Dolores and I arrived first. We were given a tour of the Bed and Breakfast and were setting around waiting for Bernie and catching up on the gossip, when the phone rang.

It was Bernie in her high pitched, in a tizz, voice - “I am gong to be late!! A Trooper pulled me over!” Where are you asked Judy? Just about two blocks from you Bernie says! “ And Please don’t tell anybody, I am so embarrassed!” Well that request lasted about a minute as Susan got Judy to tell the whole story and we all laughingly said “Oh we have to see this!”

Keystone Drive was completely torn up for road repairs. There was detours, flags and warning signs up and down the road. Reduce your speed limit to 25 was one of them.

Seems like Bernie, in a rush to get to the birthday party, was gong slightly over the speed limit and got pulled over. At first when she saw the flashing lights, she thought it was a pilot car, so ignored the red and blue flashing lights in her rear view mirror.

When she realized it was a trooper and he was after her, she pulled over.

She rolled down her window and the first thing that fell out of her mouth was “I am going to a birthday party and I have a hot casserole and I don’t want it to get cold!” The trooper said “You were going 5 miles over the speed limit!”...Bernie says “But I have a hot casserole for lunch and they are waiting on me!” Then a second thought hit her and she asked “Would you like to come to lunch with us?” Taken by surprise, the trooper declined her invitation and let her go with a warning to obey the signs.

Then she and the trooper looked up the road and there was Marty, Dolores, Susan, and I in the middle of the road waving at her-beckoning to hurry, jumping up and down, pointing and laughing. Judy stood in her yard, not joining us as she was slightly embarrassed at the antics of her guests!!

Dolores recalls this event as one of the funniest of her life. Bernie finally showed up, her casserole was still warm and wonderful.

And this is just one of the many stories about birthday parties!

hen the weather turns chilly, it’s hard to beat the appeal of a one-pot meal simmering on the stove. Be it the sight (and sound) of food cooking, or the aroma that wafts through the house, these things bring us instantaneous comfort.

In addition, for the busy cook, onedish meals are time-efficient, offering the greatest reward for the least effort.

Whether you’re fixing supper for yourself or your family, or preparing a meal for company, one-dish meals are equally at home. Casual meals are flexible, too, and may be adjusted according to budget, preference, dietary needs and – the season. In autumn, spareribs and sauerkraut, made with red onion and a Granny Smith apple, is especially tasty and nice accompanied by some crusty rye bread.

Alternatively, instead of bread, serving fresh-baked soft pretzels would be a good, especially with October being National Pretzel Month. (Unless you wish to make your own, soft ready-to-bake pretzels come frozen, so look for them at the supermarket.)

For dessert and more fall flavor, spice cake is excellent, particularly when the recipe, which follows, comes from frequent recipe contributor Caroline Kennedy, of Bluffton. The

Kitchen Ade Sue Ade

cake, which starts with a boxed mix, is flavorful and ultra-moist, thanks to the addition of extra cinnamon and pumpkin. Recipes for one-dish meals, for breakfast, brunch, lunch and supper are popular and a boon when extended family and friends visit, sometimes for extended stays. Keep them in mind for the holidays, and if you don’t already have one of generous size – plan to get a bigger pot.

Flavorful and satisfying, easy one-dish Spareribs and Sauerkraut is good for supper on chilly fall nights.

Over medium heat, sauté onion and apple until softened. Add sauerkraut and Worcestershire to pot, stirring well to combine. Lay ribs on top, pulling up some of the sauerkraut to surround ribs, then add potatoes to

pot. Pour some of the sauerkraut/water mixture into the pot. Simmer, covered, for 2 hours (adding more juice/ water to keep ingredients moist during cooking), until rib meat is fall-offthe-bone tender. Makes 4 servings.

Browned baby-back pork ribs, sauerkraut, chopped onion and apples, as well as potatoes, are the makings of a satisfying one-pot autumn meal.

10 fresh ways to use Brussels sprouts

BY ALISON LADMAN Associated Press

AP Photo/Matthew Mead

This Sept. 22 photo, shows fried Brussels sprouts in Concord, N.H. Chic menus at restaurants around the country have begun serving Brussels sprouts after kale introduced Americans to the idea that there actually are many ways to prepare most vegetables.

Not so long ago there really was only one way to eat Brussels sprouts.

It involved boiling the sprouts into oblivion. Once they were reduced to near mush, you’d mound them on your plate, maybe add some butter and salt. You’d then gag down a few bites on the premise that they were healthy, but mostly spend the rest of the meal pushing them around your plate until enough time had passed that it was acceptable to throw them away.

Then along came kale. Kale changed the vegetable world.

Kale, in all its wrinkled good-

ness, suddenly made vegetables cool, hip even. More importantly, kale introduced Americans to the idea that there actually are many ways — including many delicious ways — to prepare most vegetables.

Waiting in the wings for their own hipster moment? Brussels sprouts. Soon they were popping up on chic menus at restaurants around the country.

And they most certainly were not boiled to oblivion.

So to help you embrace the hipper, more delicious side of Brussels sprouts, we’ve assembled 10 fresh ideas for getting your greens.

K

10 Fresh ways with Brussels sprouts: — Oven-roasted: Cut sprouts in half, then toss with just a touch of olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.

Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 425 F for 15 minutes. Add cubes of golden delicious apples and roast for another 10 minutes. Sprinkle with toasted sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.

— Pan-roasted: Cut sprouts in half and place in a deep skillet with 1/2 cup water.

Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black

pepper, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 3 cloves minced garlic. Cook, uncovered and stirring now and again, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender and browned.

— Slaw: Shave or shred 1/2 pound of sprouts. The slicing disc of a food processor is ideal. Add 1/2 cup sliced scallions, 1/2 thinly sliced bell pepper and 1/2 cup corn kernels. Whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar. Season with kosher salt, black pepper and a splash of hot sauce. Toss with the vegetables until thoroughly coated.

A note about my last storyAbout Learning to Live off the Alaskan Land. Several local friends reminded me that there was indeed grocery stores around. Tanglewood, Old M&M in North Kenai and a store in town. Because we had, at the time, six kids plus two adults and a few guests off and on in a boom-oil town community meant that I cooked all the time.

So did my friends for their families and guests.

To help alleviate the price of groceries locally and have a varity, we traveled to Anchorage -”about 200 miles” to get canned goods, laundry soap, and shop for clothes for all the kids to school.

We all piled into the 4 wheel drive 1968 Ford Pickup-new then-and yes all eight of us!

Some of those trips left perma-

nent marks in the dash board of the truck - teeth marks! No doubt from boredom or seeing the roads covered with ice and snow.

The old road was “twisty and turny” full of switch backs, narrow, steep two lanes and most of the time full of ice and snow.

Who ever sat on my lap left the teeth marks - I think it was Susan!

— Home fries: Quarter 1/2 pound sprouts and 1/2 pound new potatoes. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente.

Drain and pat dry with paper towels. In a large deep skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the sprouts and potatoes and cook over medium-high until browned on all sides and tender. Season with salt and black pepper.

— Hash: Blanch quartered sprouts in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente.

Combine in a skillet with diced corned beef and a diced onion. Add a splash of oil if the corned beef doesn’t have much fat on it. Cook until everything is browned, turning occasionally. Serve topped with fried or poached eggs.

— Grilled cheese: Toss halved sprouts with a bit of oil, salt and black pepper.

Roast on a rimmed baking sheet for 20 minutes at 425 F. Arrange the following between 2 slices of sourdough bread: sprouts, Emmenthaler or Swiss cheese, and sliced pickles that have been patted dry with paper towels. Melt a little butter in a skillet and griddle the sandwich until the cheese is melted and the bread is browned and crispy, flipping halfway through.

— Saute: Saute chopped salami, chopped pancetta and quartered sprouts with a chopped onion until the vegetables are tender and everything is golden brown. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving any fat in the pan. Sear pork chops in the pan until they reach 145 F at the center, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side for a 1-inch-thick chop.

Top the chops with the sprout mixture.

— Fried: Heat a large saucepan with 1/2 inch of oil until very hot, about 300 F. Working in batches, fry quartered sprouts until browned and crispy, about 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and toss with salt and grated Parmesan cheese.

— Pizza: Blanch quartered sprouts in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente.

Drain and pat dry with paper towels. On a prepared pizza crust, arrange sprouts, thinly sliced red onions, sliced mushrooms and mozzarella. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Top with a

drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

Drain and combine with the barley. Add a handful of dried cranberries and the zest and juice of an orange and a lemon. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper and chopped fresh tarragon.

Milan Expo will include food trucks from the US

NEW YORK — The U.S. will show itself off as “Food Truck Nation” at the Milan Expo, bringing six authentic food trucks to Italy as part of its participation in the event opening in May for six months.

everyday life, Expos continue to attract millions of visitors.

More than 73 million people attended the Shanghai Expo in 2010.

Twenty million people are expected for the Milan Expo, with 6 million tickets already sold, according to Alessandro Mancini, head of Expo ticketing and tourism, who spoke in New York Tuesday with Milan’s mayor, Giuliano Pisapia. Seven to 8 million of those visitors are expected to come from outside Italy, including a million from the U.S. Milan’s famous opera house, La Scala, is normally closed in the summer, but will host concerts and performances daily during the Expo.

Dozens of countries are building individual pavilions at the Expo site and a number of small countries will share pavilions themed on foods they consume or grow, such as coffee, cocoa and rice.

Exhibitions will also explore topics such as food safety, nutrition and crop biodiver-

sity.

The U.S. also plans to operate a temporary James Beard American Restaurant in central Milan for the duration of the Expo, offering uniquely American meals such as Thanksgiving dinner and a Gospel brunch, according to Davis.

Tickets to the Expo are $45 a day, but organizers say most visitors will need two or three days to see the massive event, including informational exhibits, art and culture, marketplaces, live performances including Cirque du Soleil shows, and noteworthy architecture, such as Norman Foster’s wavy-walled design for the United Arab Emirates pavilion.

Tickets are on sale in the U.S. and are expected to become available from various outlets over the next few months.

Ticket-sellers include Eataly, the Italian food emporium in Manhattan, which is hosting a display of statues and other artifacts from Milan’s Duomo (cathedral).

Woman who abuses boyfriend can’t figure out how to stop DEAR ABBY: Our 5-year-old daughter, “Maya,” was diagnosed with a severe peanut and tree nut allergy before she was 2. My parents have completely overhauled their house and have gone nut-free. My husband’s parents, on the other hand, refuse to cooperate with Maya’s diet restrictions when she visits.

I have tried talking to them, which in turn upsets Abigail Van Buren my husband. He keeps making excuses for them, even though he demanded the school become nut-free to accommodate her.

We were scheduled to go to their house for an early Thanksgiving when they revealed that the house still wasn’t safe for Maya to come to. My husband’s solution was to go there for the weekend and leave us behind.

How can I get my in-laws to understand, and my husband to stand up for his daughter and me?

— LOOKING OUT FOR MAYA DEAR LOOKING OUT FOR MAYA: You can’t.

Your husband is still under his parents’ thumb.

While he may love his parents, his first responsibility is to you and his children. Until he finds his backbone and realizes that, he will remain at his parents’ beck and call. I’m glad you’re looking out for your daughter because her father doesn’t appear to be emotionally equipped to do it.

DEAR ABBY: I can no longer go to funeral visitations. I have buried my parents, two sisters, four brothers and nine nieces and nephews. The number of loved ones I have lost, and the visitations and funerals I have had to attend, have been overwhelming. I can’t face it anymore.

How do you suggest I avoid them? I am running out of excuses, and I’m tired of being a no-show.

— HATES FUNERALS IN ILLINOIS DEAR HATES FUNERALS: People deal with loss in different ways, and you don’t have to apologize for feeling the way you do. Stop making excuses and start telling the truth.

When you are notified about a death, offer your condolences, a donation, flowers, and explain that after 17 deaths in your family, you no longer attend funerals because it has become too much for you.

That way, no one will think you don’t care or wonder why you didn’t show up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Listen to others, yet also tap into your own knowledge. You could be driven to express your ideas, but others might not be in the mood to receive them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might come off as being feistier than you realize. A friendship will allow you to express some of your resistance and feel accepted at the same time. Cut back a tendency to go overboard when indulging a loved one. Tonight: Go with someone else’s suggestion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You could be questioning what would be the best way to handle a volatile situation. If you don’t want to engage in a long disagreement, you might consider letting it go. Emphasize your friendships. Tonight: Get as much done on your to-do list as possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHYou could be at your wits’end and feel unsure about what needs to happen or what you should do.

Understand what is going on with different parties, and tap into your resourcefulness. Stay on top of a situation involving an authority figure. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

To peel or not to peel?

Dear Heloise: As a newlywed, my husband and I had recently moved to Texas. There was a roadside stand selling Fredericksburg peaches, so I pulled over and bought some gorgeous ones, excited to make my husband’s favorite dessert, peach cobbler.

Well, I had never made this dessert before. I found a recipe, followed it and was so proud of the beautiful cobbler I made. I couldn’t wait for my husband to try it. He took the first bite, looked at me and said, “I love you, but you do know you are supposed to peel the peaches first.” I had no idea! The recipe stated to use canned peaches. We still laugh about that cooking disaster 23 years later!

— Lauren W., via email Well, we’ve all been there. How sweet that your husband said it that way! Folks, want to fess up to your kitchen “mistake or mishap and tell the world? Write to me and spill the beans.

No full names printed, if you want.

— Heloise Freezing buttermilk Dear Heloise: I have a problem.

When I have a recipe that calls for ingredients I don’t have in the cupboard or refrigerator, I have to buy it. Buttermilk usually is in a quart carton. Once it is in my refrigerator, my dear husband worries about it having gone bad. What can I do with the surplus? Can it be frozen?

— Arline R., via email How do you tell if buttermilk has gone bad? I’m really not sure! But tell your husband not to worry, because buttermilk can be frozen. Be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator. You will need to remix it after thawing, because the fat will separate from the rest of the milk.

— Heloise P.S.: They do sell powdered buttermilk.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014: This year you become more concerned with your public and/or professional reputation. If you remain focused, you will achieve a longterm desire. Be careful of a tendency to go overboard or overindulge in some way. You might want to employ self-discipline more often. If you are single and want to find Mr. or Ms. Right, it can happen this year. If you are attached, the two of you are often out and about together enjoying yourselves. You could make a mutual long-term goal a reality this year. CANCER knows how to grab your attention.

DEAR ABBY: I think I have an abuse problem. I have been with my boyfriend for a year, and already I feel like he is fed up with me. I don’t want to lose him.

When I was younger, my father used to abuse me.

It was years ago, but I feel like I might have gotten that trait from him. In addition, I have a tendency to smack my boyfriend on the arm when he’s verbally abusing me. I just want it to stop.

I love this man and I feel terrible after I do it. I keep telling him I’m sorry and that I have the worst tendency to act on impulse. Please tell me how to stop because I CANNOT lose him. Any suggestions?

— SORRY IN KANSAS CITY, MO. DEAR SORRY: If you want your relationship to improve, you must realize it will take effort not only on your part but also your boyfriend’s. Neither of you handles anger or frustration appropriately. He shouldn’t verbally abuse you if something bothers him.

And you need to find other ways than hitting him to make him stop.

Couples counseling could help you communicate more effectively with each other. Many licensed mental health professionals offer it. Please don’t wait.

Ms. Romatz crowns Queen Grace “Ruler of Summer Reading.”

Fourteen years ago Gloria Sweeney and other K-Beach Elementary teachers working on the masters created a program known as RIGS (Reading Is Great in Summer.) First graders who were the first RIGS participants are now sophomores in college and according to Sweeney underscore the success of the summer program for remedial reading skills, “It would be interesting to follow up with those students, I have kept the records from all those years so I can look back to the beginning and see the progress

of our readers at that time. Since the beginning we did tabulate reading scores to see if it was making a difference and it was amazing as we saw them with a two month jump when they returned to school in the fall,” she said.

The younger readers dominated the RIGS program this year with the “Queen of Reading” being third grader Grace Hallam totaling up 5,600 minutes, “My favorite book was Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but being crowned queen was kind of embarrassing,” said Queen

Grace at her RIGS coronation.

Meanwhile, Soldotna Elementary inaugurated a summer reading program for the first time this year called SMORE’S (Summer Months are Open for Reading Everywhere.) Ms. Baktuit organized a SMORE’S committee at Soldotna El as well as a very entertaining assembly that showed kids that all their heroes love to read as well, “We wanted to get across to the kids that just because it’s summer learning shouldn’t stop and if we keep on reading over the summer our skills keep

climbing, plus that it is such a fun thing to do in the summer while on the beach or camping to pull out a book and get reading to keep our mind muscles working. We brought in community heroes to let the kids see that everyone reads in the summer and that it’s important for whatever job you have in the community reading will be an integral part of what they’re doing,” she said. “The energy in the assembly was amazing today,” said Soldotna El principal Terri Diamond, “This was our first year and we expect the

enthusiasm to grow next year.”

Ten year old Logan Cotton a 5th grader was the SMORE’S reading champ having read 3,930 minutes, “Enders Game was my favorite summer book and I’m reading better this fall than I was in the spring when school let out, and yes reading is fun. When I grow up I want to be something like a football player or a welder so I can stay in Alaska,” said Logan.

Sponsors of both the summer reading programs included the Soldotna Rotary Club, VFW Ladies Auxiliary and Tesoro.

Project Search partnership completes 3rd year

Project Search sponsors & partners celebrate 3 years of success at CPH

Project SEARCH held its third community open house September 29th at Central Peninsula Hospital (CPH.) The event allowed this year’s interns to showcase their accomplishments. Project SEARCH shows what takes place when a school district and hospital collaborate to create a business-led, one-year school-towork program for students with disabilities,” wrote Pegge Erkeneff, communications specialist for the Kenai Peninsula School District (KPBSD.) Project SEARCH creator Erin Reilly introduced the program

to Alaska three years ago and the success achieved has surpassed expectations according to Fran Stetson of the KPBSD, “The students that have come through the program are exceptional at the end. The hospital creates an environment where these students have to step up to meet high expectations and they do it, employers will be lucky to get them because these guys know how to work,” she told the Dispatch. Dr. Steve Atwater, KPBSD superintendent said, “One of our on-going challenges is to ensure that our students with disabilities make

a smooth transition to life after high school. Project SEARCH is thus, a wonderful way to help us meet this challenge.”

The Project SEARCH High School Transition Program is a total workplace immersion, facilitating a seamless combination of classroom instruction, career exploration, and relevant job-skills training through strategically designed internships.

Through a series of three target-

ed internships the students acquire competitive, marketable, and transferable skills. Students also build communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills which is important to their overall development as a young worker. The goal: independent adults prepared for competitive employment opportunities.

“We’ve helped turn these young

people into productive citizens and realize their full potential,” commented John Todd of CPH. “Here at the hospital we are all about providing opportunities for folks to be workers in our community. We have some great success stories that have gone from interns to employees here at CPH,” he said.

Kenai Peninsula Project

SEARCH is made possible through the collaborative efforts of Project SEARCH Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Central Peninsula Hospital, Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, the Governor’s Council on Disabilities and Special Education, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and Frontier Community Services.

The golden anniversary of the Wilderness Act was well celebrated at the opening of the “Voices of the Wilderness” traveling exhibit that opened October 3rd at the Kenai Visitors & Cultural Center (KVCC.) Kenai National Wildlife Refuge (KNWR) manager Any Loranger welcomed guest artists and families to the event, “The wilderness act represents permanent protection for some of our nation’s wildest places which ultimately led to the designation of the Kenai Wilderness within the KNWF. Within the exhibit itself there is some unbelievable work by wilderness photographers like Tom and Mary Collopy with images that many local folks will recognize from the Kenai Wilderness. Additionally we have works by artists in residence who have spent time within some of Alas-

ka’s most iconic and beautiful remote wilderness areas. There are photographs as well as paintings and a wide variety of media on display at the exhibit.

Something not to be missed are the works of students led by Michelle Ostrowski our KNWR environmental education specialist and PEEPS program. It’s amazing to see the work these kids did and to read their essays about wilderness. The kids captured the essence of wilderness and of course there is no greater honesty than that of a child and what they put on paper and in their images that is on display here is absolutely wonderful,” he said.

Photographer Tom Collopy speaking about the Wilderness Act said, “The big thing is not to take this place we have here for granted. Those of us who came here from the lower 48

realize that what we have here is special and it motivates me and people like me make sure we don’t repeat here the mistakes that were made out there.

The images Mary and I brought here are from the Kenai Refuge and are evocative images that cause people to grasp the importance of wilderness in their Traveling wildlife Exhibit celebrates Alaska’s wilderness at KVCC. lives. It’s an ongoing effort and great challenge that requires a lot of time outdoors and from a couple of months or years may come one or two of those images. To translate into a one inch square sensor the feeling a sense of what it’s like to be out in a wild pristine place.” Only half of the Voices of the Wilderness show is displayed at the Kenai exhibit the other half is at the Islands & Oceans Visitors Center and like the Kenai show will be open for public viewing through October 25th.
