Passengers from Wuhan to stop in Anchorage

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

A plane containing approximately 200 passengers from Wuhan, China, was scheduled to land for refueling Tuesday night at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage.

The plane was chartered by the U.S. government in order to fly out diplomats from the U.S. Consulate in Wuhan, the Associated Press reported. Wuhan has been the epicenter of an outbreak of the coronavirus.

The plane, which was expected to go on to California after refueling in Anchorage, was scheduled to arrive in a section of the North Terminal that is not currently accessible to the public and is isolated from the South Terminal, according to a Tuesday press release from the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. The arrival was not expected to have any impact on regularly scheduled flights.

“The safety of all Alaskans, those assisting them and the passengers on the plane remain our top priority,” DHSS Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anne Zink said in the release.

“We have been working diligently with federal, state and local partners to assure that this effort goes smoothly. Bringing these people home to the United States is an important mission and we are fortunate to have strong health partners in Alaska with the capacity to assist these U.S. citizens in their effort to return home.”

JUNEAU — Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy, facing a recall threat fueled during his stormy first year in office, said the state is running out of time to fix its long-running budget deficit.

In a speech to lawmakers Monday, he called for creation of a statewide lottery and doubled-down on proposed constitutional changes that got little traction last year amid angry outcry over budget cuts he’d proposed.

Dunleavy said in his second State of the State speech that a focus on cuts last year “took all of the oxygen out of the room.” He said he shied away from deep cuts in his spending

proposal for the upcoming budget year to allow more room for discussion of a long-term plan, including the future of the checks paid to residents from the state’s oil-wealth fund, the Alaska Permanent Fund. He has insisted on paying a dividend check in line with a longstanding formula last followed in 2015 and that many lawmakers say is unsustainable. He argued for constitutional changes that would address a spending cap and give Alaskans a say on changes to the Permanent Fund dividend and taxes, ideas he pitched last year. “We must give the people an opportunity to weigh in on items that impact their lives directly,” Dunleavy said.

Man who nailed sign to mansion pleads no contest

A Soldotna man who nailed a sign to the door of the governor’s mansion in Juneau last week pleaded no contest to misdemeanor property damage on Monday.

David A. Powell, 54, was fined and sentenced to three days of prison by Juneau District Court Judge Kirsten Swanson. Both the fine and jail sentence were suspended, contingent on Powell following probation conditions.

Prosecutors said nailing the sign to the historic house David A. on Calhoun Avenue Powell caused enough damage where it could have been charged as a felony. Powell changed his plea to the misdemeanor at the city-level, before the case could be elevated to a felony and transferred to state prosecutors.

In court, Powell said he chose the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday last Monday to post the sign to Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s door.

“Some 400 years ago, a man nailed a piece of paper to a door,” Powell said in a statement read aloud in the courtroom. “The day I nailed that to the door was the day celebrating that man’s life.

Soon that note will be looked at in the same way with Martin Luther’s note.”

The event Powell references is when Martin Luther, a 16th century monk and scholar, nailed his “95 Theses” — a list of issues he took with the Catholic Church and practices Luther perceived to be corrupt — to the door of the Wittenberg Castle church. It’s widely recognized as a foundational

Those experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of becoming homeless will have an opportunity today to attend a one-stop shop for any of the services they might need.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, Project Homeless Connect will host a number of

vendors and service providers that deal with issues surrounding homelessness. The services offered range from medical care, housing and financial assistance to haircuts and massages. All services are provided free of charge. Two other Project Homeless Connect events will take place simultaneously on the Kenai Peninsula, in Homer and Seward.

Upon arrival at Soldotna’s event, visitors will be asked to go through

a quick intake process that is done confidentially and on an individual basis by trained professionals. Data collected at the event is used as a way to garner funding for local programs from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

King salmon forecast: Below average

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Alaska’s Department of Fish and Game forecasts a historically belowaverage year for king salmon runs in the Kenai River.

For the early run, which occurs from mid-May to early June, the

ADF&G has forecast 4,794 large fish, according to a Jan. 27 news release from the department. Large fish, as defined by the department, are greater than or equal to 75 cm from mideye to tail fork or approximately 34 inches in total length.

The 2020 forecast for the early run is within the optimum escapement

GOP lacks votes to block witnesses, McConnell concedes

By Eric Tucker, Zeke Miller and Lisa Mascaro Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans lack the votes to block witnesses at President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell conceded late Tuesday, a potentially major hurdle for Trump’s hopes to end the trial with a quick acquittal. Earlier, Trump’s lawyers concluded his defense with a plea to move on.

Even after sitting through days

and late nights of argument, several Republicans apparently are ready to join Democrats in considering in-person testimony from former National Security Adviser John Bolton and perhaps others.

Trump’s lawyers made their closing case for a speedy acquittal Tuesday, but to no avail.

McConnell told colleagues in a private meeting that he did not yet have the votes to block Democrats from summoning witnesses. That outcome would prolong an electionyear trial that Trump and his legal

team had hoped was on track, as one lawyer said, to “end now, as soon as possible.”

McConnnell’s statement, in a closed-door meeting of senators, was an acknowledgment of the extent to which revelations from Bolton have scrambled the trial’s schedule and the desire for testimony. Bolton writes in a forthcoming book that Trump told him he wanted to withhold military aid from Ukraine until it helped with investigations into Democratic rival Joe Biden. That assertion, if true, would undercut a key defense

argument and go to the heart of one major article of impeachment against the president.

Trump complained anew at a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, focusing on Democrats rather than Republican senators.

“While we are creating jobs and killing terrorists, the congressional Democrats are obsessed with demented hoaxes, crazy witch hunts and deranged partisan crusades,” he said.

“It’s the people who placed us here. It’s the people we serve; we work for them,” he said. “And it’s the people that we must bring into this grand discussion regarding Alaska’s future. To ignore them, we do so at our own peril, for they have the power of the ballot box.”

House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, an independent from Dillingham, said there was not support last year for the proposed constitutional changes.

Dunleavy did not mention the recall effort, the first serious effort to remove an Alaska governor from office since the early 1990s. A state court judge earlier this month decided the effort aimed at recalling Dunleavy could proceed to a second signature-gathering phase, though the decision is expected to be appealed. Anger over cuts he proposed last year fueled the push.

Dunleavy said he recognized the angst caused by “pulling back the reins on spending” and said he didn’t run for governor “to hurt the state that I love.” But he said the state’s fiscal issue needs to be addressed.

Dunleavy said he will introduce legislation creating a statewide lottery, saying it’s “past time for Alaskans and visitors to have the option

According to a memo from Fishery Biologist Robert Begich, the error in forecasting was due to underestimating the production of the broods from 2012 and 2013.

Chinook salmon included in the annual forecasts are primarily five, six or seven years old, according to the memo, so 2020’s forecast is based on production estimates of broods from 2014 and 2015. If accurate, the 2020 early run will be the eighth lowest in 35 years.

The late king salmon run, which occurs from early

July to season closure on the Kenai River, has a forecast of 22,707 large fish. This forecast is about 60% larger than the estimated total for the late run of 2019, which saw about 12,780 large fish, but would still be the sixth lowest run in 35 years. The average late run for 1986-2019 is 43,239 fish, and the recent five-year average is 21,665 fish. The largest run recorded since 1986 in the Kenai River occurred in 2004, when 91,312 large fish were observed in the late run.

2019’s late-run forecast, like the early-run forecast, was also inaccurate when

compared to the observed total. In 2019, ADF&G forecast a late run of approximately 22,105 fish but only observed about 12,780, for an overestimate of about 42%. According to the memo from Begich, this forecasting error was attributed primarily to an overestimate of the 2013 and 2014 brood years, which saw two of the lowest escapements on record prior to 2019.

to individually contribute to fixing Alaska’s fiscal issue.”

Alaska has no statewide sales or personal income taxes, though some lawmakers have expressed interest in proposals to raise motor fuel taxes or levy a $30 annual tax on people employed in Alaska.

Dunleavy said also he will propose establishing a state inspector general to investigate “careless and fraudulent spending” across programs and services. House Majority Leader Steve Thompson, a Fairbanks Republican, said his office has been working on the lottery idea. He said the proposal would not “bring a ton of money but every little bit of money helps.” Thompson said he’d hoped Dunleavy would have more revenue ideas.

House Finance Committee Co-chair Jennifer Johnston, an Anchorage Republican, said this isn’t the time for new revenues.

“We need to earn the people’s trust that we have a good budget,” she said.

On education, Dunleavy said a working group would look at ways to retain and recruit teachers. Alaska has struggled to retain teachers, particularly in rural areas.

Work also must continue to address crime, including taking steps to reduce recidivism, Dunleavy said, adding that he looks forward to hearing lawmakers’ ideas on this. In his speech last year, Dunleavy said spending must equal revenue and

that the state can’t “go on forever” using savings to plug the gap. Lawmakers have spent billions drawing down savings as they’ve struggled to address the deficit, with one of those savings accounts, the constitutional budget reserve, down to about $2.2 billion at the end of 2019, according to the Department of Revenue.

Dunleavy, in his budget plan for the upcoming fiscal year, which avoids the level of

cuts he proposed last year, would use $1.5 billion from that reserve, a draw amount some lawmakers say is unacceptably high. His budget proposal includes a dividend under the traditional formula.

Two state savings accounts — the constitutional budget and statutory budget reserves — contained $16.3 billion seven years ago, according to the Legislative Finance Division. .

Alaskans win thousands in state’s first ever PFD raffle

By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

Four lucky Alaskans were awarded thousands of dollars each Tuesday night, following the state’s first ever Permanent Fund dividend raffle.

A total of $32,617.50 was given out in the raffle with the first place winner getting $17,396 and last place walking away with $2,174.50.

Gov. Mike Dunleavy hosted the raffle at Harborview Elementary School flanked by state officials and Sen. Click Bishop, R-Fairbanks, who drafted the legislation that created the event.

Started by an act of the Legislature in 2018, Alaskans had the opportunity to donate money from their PFDs in increments of $100, according to Lauren Gilliam, deputy press secretary for the governor. Each donation of $100 equaled one ticket in the raffle.

Fifty percent of the money raised by the donations will be put toward supplemental grants for education.

Twenty-five percent will be put into a new Education Endowment Fund and the remaining 25% goes to the raffle fund.

According to the Department of Revenue, there were 8,698 entries into the raffle, which translated to

What others say

Is there a need for the ERA in 2020?

T

he Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution — referring to the 1972 proposed constitutional amendment that would mandate that “(e)quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex” — is back on the national radar, even if it may only be in a symbolic sense.

Last week, Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the amendment. After Democrats took control of the commonwealth’s Legislature last November (electing a record number of women in the process), the long-sought ratification appeared within reach.

By law, amendments are added to the U.S. Constitution only after three-fourths of the states approve their passage.

Virginia’s approval put the ERA past threshold.

However, proposed constitutional amendments are not on the table for perpetuity. The ERA’s window for passage was originally set to close in 1979, but that was extended to 1982. Even so, the amendment fell three states short of passage at that time.

Efforts have been ramped up in recent years to get three more state on board, and it finally worked. Nevada approved the ERA in 2017, followed by Illinois in 2018 and, now, Virginia.

However, five states — including South Dakota and Nebraska — have rescinded their earlier ratifications, and now South Dakota has joined Alabama and Louisiana in filing suit to halt further efforts at ratifying the 1972 amendment.

Whether the ERA can still be adopted is a matter for the courts to untangle. Frankly, because the amendment missed its extended window of opportunity for passage, one wouldn’t be surprised to see it dismissed.

But the symbolism of it getting this far may ignite a fresh effort to add this amendment to the Constitution.

Certainly, a lot HAS changed since the ERA was passed by Congress 38 years ago. One of the big arguments against the amendment at the time was that it might expose women to a military draft and combat. Obviously, women have now become integral components of America’s fighting forces — female soldiers have fought and died for this country — so that argument now feels antiquated. There were also arguments that women might lose alimony rights, as well as the advantages they had in child custody cases in divorce. But those situations have also evolved through the years.

So, it could be argued that the ERA that passed in 1972 is from a much different age.

But the general concept of equal protection under the law on the basis of sex should be universal. (In fact, 25 states have their own versions of the Equal Rights Amendment in their constitutions.) And now, as more women are in leadership roles in lawmaking, politics, business, the military and other endeavors, the spirit of the ERA should be a fact. And given the strength of the #MeToo movement, the demand for equal justice is louder and more powerful than ever.

But the reality that there’s even a perceived need for a #MeToo movement and the fact that, for instance, women in 2019 made only 79 cents for every dollar a man made, according to CNBC, paints a picture of lingering, frustrating inequity that remains rooted in the American landscape nearly four decades later.

So, if the ERA ratification fails to gain legal approval, a new version of it should be crafted and, eventually, put to the states for another vote.

When South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg announced this state’s lawsuit to halt the ERA’s implementation (a move that, otherwise, had an unfortunate symbolic look for this state), he noted in a press release, “If Congress wants to pass an updated version of the ERA, taking into consideration all the changes in the law since 1972, I have no doubt the South Dakota Legislature would debate the merits in a new ratification process.”

Ultimately, the matter of equal rights for men and women shouldn’t be a point of argument, whether it was in 1972 or it’s in 2020. But it is. One way or another, equal protection must become the spirit and rule of the land, not an exception. And if an ERA is needed to achieve that, then so be it.

Charity doesn’t always have to be so conventional

n a fast-paced world, one’s goals, needs and responsibility to pay bills often takes a central theme and charity somehow takes a backseat.

At times, it isn’t some special occasion that reminds us of how we need to give from our limited, precious time, but it’s a requirement to get into some highly coveted university or fulfill some community hours criteria to graduate from high school.

Sometimes we volunteer to wash some guilt or find some solace within as if it’s a move for self-atonement.

But there is a bigger picture out there. Charity doesn’t have to be so conventional. It can be opportunities found everywhere and anywhere.

Personally, I might not have the passion to volunteer in a food drive, for example, but currently I am disciplining myself step-by-step to reuse my plastics and forever forbid myself from getting my cup of Joe in plastic disposable cups.

I don’t want to participate in the global plastic littering that’s making up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the swirling vortex of garbage between Hawaii and California estimated to be three times the size of France Not using plastic might not be a conventional way of being charitable, but it’s definitely seeping into the long-term perspective of our planet’s well being.

How about mental health?

It has been widely criticized that mental health services are only for the privileged who have money.

Sometimes, mental health initiatives are not fully funded. Or lack of proper awareness and stigma on mental health and the rise of social media require more societal bonding and talking among each other.

But research has “consistently found that favorable exchange with one’s proximal social environment has positive effects on both mental health and wellbeing,” one study published in 2017 reads.

So maybe saying more hellos is like donating to a nonprofit.

Also, becoming more attuned with what’s happening around us is a huge charitable drive on its own.

After finishing dinner with his family in downtown Toronto, Josh, a friend, couldn’t finish his meal after some stomach pain. So he packed his dinner to take it home but he noticed an issue as he was leaving.

“I looked at her, she looked like she was my age,” Josh, who was 24 at the time, described a homeless young lady.

Long story short, Josh, who has an outstanding social media following, used his platforms to connect this young promising lady, who escaped an opioid-addicted mother from northern Ontario, to be a teacher.

She is now married with a home to go back to.

So maybe speak with the homeless without judgment.

I — myself — am a testament of how charitable acts might be an

opportunity.

My Iraqi family fled Saddam’s dictatorial rule in 1995 to Jordan.

After Jordan, Malaysia, a growing and a booming country at the time, was our next destination and was one of the few countries that gave Iraqis a visa to work.

Both of my parents worked in Kuantan, a small town facing the South China Sea, but didn’t have the money to send me to an Englishlanguage school.

My mother approached Peter Larson, the principal of International School of Kuantan, asking him to enroll me and urged him to think from his “heart.” I was enrolled almost for free.

It’s not only that gesture that bonded my family with the Larsons, but it’s the attention that Flo Larson gave me that helped me so much — talk about mental health for a teen.

Flo might be in Alaska and I am in Canada, but our bond has transcended barriers, especially divisive politics between Baghdad and Washington. Knowing her was not only important for my education, but for my overall growth as an adult.

With more than a decade of experience as a journalist, the IraqiCanadian Dina Al-Shibeeb covered a variety of stories from business to Syria bomb blasts to human interest features on Iraq while living abroad in Dubai. After her return to Canada, she started covering education news and municipal affairs for York Region in the Greater Toronto Area.

Iowans adjust to ‘weird’ final days of caucus campaign

By Scott McFetridge Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa — In normal years, Iowa is the center of the political universe during the final stretch before its famed caucuses. Top candidates rumble across the state on multi-city bus tours and hold giant rallies every night. Images of the state’s snowy landscape flood television screens.

2020, it turns out, is not a normal year.

The frenetic battle to win the Iowa caucuses has morphed into a steady — some might even say boring — affair. Many of the leading candidates are stuck in Washington sitting through President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. In their place are surrogates of varying degrees of fame whose job is to keep the energy high enough to convince them to still head to their precinct on Feb. 3 to participate in the caucus. On one especially slow day last week, Andrew Yang was the only presidential candidate in the state.

Television live shots in front of the gold dome of the state Capitol have been replaced with gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Senate impeachment trial on most cable networks. Some journalists have rearranged their travel to either skip the state or arrive later.

“This is a little bit weird,” said Kent Crawford, a retired middle school band director who attended a rally in Dubuque last week for Pete Buttigieg, one of the few events in the state that day. “I can feel it.”

Robert Johnson, a Des Moines community activist who has worked for more than a year to register African American voters, is understanding of the competing demands on some candidates — but is growing a bit impatient. “We are in the fourth quarter of this game and we need all hands on deck. It’s all or nothing at this point,” he said. “And at this point the star players have to go to the locker room.”

Briefly freed from the Senate trial, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren returned to Iowa over the weekend to hold major events.

Warren attracted hundreds of supporters to Cedar Rapids, the state’s second largest city for an event with Jonathan Van Ness, a host of Netflix’s “Queer Eye.” Sanders, meanwhile, held a massive rally featuring Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and filmmaker Michael Moore.

Former Vice President Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, aren’t tied to the Senate trial. They have been a steady presence in the state and are expected to step up their campaigning in the days ahead. Candidates are planning a final blast of activity this weekend even as it’s unclear whether the impeachment trial will allow senators to return. The band Vampire Weekend will perform at a Sanders rally on Saturday. Warren plans a “river to river road trip” that will take her through a half dozen cities across the state over two days. The absent senators might be most missed by the crush of media professionals who have set up shop in Iowa to report on

the last days of the caucus campaign.

The Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates more than 2,000 members of the media will work at times out of a caucus headquarters in Des Moines, about triple the number in 2012.

Sean Bagniewski, chairman of the Polk County Democrats, said he’s heard more frustration from reporters than voters. “We definitely hear the media complaints,” he said.

“Some people have waited to come to Iowa for the last two weeks and now nobody’s here.”

Still, the caucuses have big implications for Iowa Democrats this year.

Even before the impeachment trial upended the campaign, there was growing skepticism of the largely white state’s prominent role in selecting a nominee for a party that’s increasingly defined by a multiracial coalition. Polling that suggests Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg and Biden are in a close race could undermine Iowa’s traditional role in picking the ultimate nominee. New rules about how results will be reported could add to even more confusion on caucus night.

Jennifer Konfrst, a state legislator and longtime caucus activist, said people like her probably made up their mind on which candidate to support long ago, but plenty of others are only now getting engaged in the process. Some of those, she said, could miss out on seeing candidates who have had to pare back on their visits.

“They’re the ones who are going to be missing an opportunity to hear from some of these candidates,” she said.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. In a third, deep bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the egg whites until frothy.

With the mixer running, gradually add the sugar to the whites and continue beating until the whites form soft peaks when the mixer is lifted.

Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a large spoon just until no giant flour clumps remain; there will be some small lumps.

Start whisking and slowly add the melted butter, whisking gently yet nonstop until incorporated.

Gently fold the egg whites into the batter; you’ll have a few small clumps of whites remaining — that’s okay.

3. Generously coat the waffle maker with nonstick spray. Ladle about 1⁄2 cup batter onto the center of the waffle maker and sprinkle with a generous amount of the cheese. Close the top and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Repeat until all waffles are cooked.

4. Pour 2 inches of oil into a large cast-iron skillet.

5. Place the pork loin slices between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently and evenly pound them to a 1⁄4-inch thickness. Pat the pork dry with a paper towel and season with salt. Bread the pork using flour, dredge in 2 of the eggs, and then the panko. Fry the pork in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the other. Line a plate with a double layer of paper towels. Transfer the pork schnitzel to the paper towels to drain.

6. In a small skillet over low heat, bring the maple syrup to a low simmer. Pull the pan from the heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the butter until melted. Set to the side but keep warm.

7. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Crack one egg into a small bowl and gently slide the egg into one side of the warmed skillet; repeat the process with the remaining eggs, each in its own section of the skillet. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the whites are fully cooked and opaque, about 4 minutes.

8. For each plate, set a waffle in the center and generously spoon some syrup over the waffle.

Add a slice of schnitzel and spoon on a little more syrup. Top with a slice of ham, and crown with a sunny-side-up egg and, yes, a little more syrup.

Memories of grandma from a long-gone era I

read several articles this week about what we used to do and eat and wear — what kind of jobs we had and how grandmas told us how it was the proper thing to do.

Well, after about 80-some years trying to do the proper thing and trying to keep up with the present times, here are some facts that I find interesting.

Grandma’s aprons protected her “house dress” from everyday chores. I remember hiding behind her apron when someone came to visit. However, she also used it for many other things. Drying kids’ tears, removing pots from the stove. Gathering eggs and bringing in wood from the wood pile. (Mom and Dad burned corn cobs in their cookstove along with coal). In my grandma’s case though, it was Grandpa’s job, as they burned coal for heat. He used the coal bucket and stacked it high, parked it alongside the coal stove to keep their basement house warm. It also was his job to bring in the kerosene to fill the cookstove. Coal and kerosene have to distinct smells that I associated with Grandma and Grandpa. I have mentioned that her wonderful sugar cookies had a slight taste of kerosene, and when I baked them they did not taste the same and I wondered what I did wrong!

Grandpa and Grandma’s garden was large and took lots of time. Grandpa “hilled” everything, meaning he dug long rows and piled the dirt in rows. Then he planted his seeds and potato starts and the little tomato plants that he started in the house on the kitchen table in the long dirt rows. His garden was spotless — no weeds — and he hoed it almost every day.

To harvest the garden, Grandma would go out the day she wanted to serve something from the garden, and carry all sorts of vegetables, such as lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes and peas, in her apron back to the house. There was a bench where she sorted out what needed to be washed

Pioneer potluck ‘Grannie’ Annie Berg and set aside the peas that needed to be shelled. But first she had to go to the pump and pump the handle up and down until water slowly filled an old water pail. Grandpa had patched it several times with various things, but the one patch that stood out the best was a small wad of gum stuck in a hole. It served the purpose.

Grandpa and Grandma lived in the edge on an 80-acre apple/cherry orchard, which was their livelihood, along with raising hundreds of chickens and some turkeys. He sold eggs every Friday to Steels Market in Fort Collins and in the fall butchered chickens and sold them. Grandma saved the feathers for the feather quilts that she made in the winter and replaced the feathers in the pillows.

When Grandma wanted to bake one of her most delicious apple or cherry pies, she would go out to the apple orchard, fill up her apron with apples and carry them into the house to be peeled and sliced into her homemade pie crust, made with lard. She had a special pan for cherries, and would put that in her gathered up apron and fill the pan with cherries. I can remember pitting the cherries with her. Her warning was not to eat these cherries; go get your own off the tree. I had a special tree from which I could eat all the cherries I could reach.

Each of the kids had their own tree. That kept us from picking off every tree, so Grandpa could have some of the nicest cherries to sell. They were picked and put in flats and hauled to a cherry canning plant outside of Fort Collins.

Apples, when they were ripe in the fall, were put in halfbushel baskets according to what kind and size. And

they were hauled to Steels Market and the cherry canning factory for canning apple pie filling. Well, here is a contrast — Grandma put her pies on the windowsill to cool. Her granddaughters put the pies out to thaw. YUP, guilty of that!!

Also, if the preacher showed up, or other unexpected company, Grandma would quickly take a swipe at the top of the table and buffet to wipe off any dust.

Her house was spotless at all times but she still did the last minute wipe!

That apron with all its duties — germs? That apron did not have germs! It held lots of love!

The story ends with this statement: “It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace the old-time apron that served so many purposes.”

CHICKEN DIVAN This is a recipe from the ‘30s and still is popular and good today. I dedicate this recipe to Kelly and Kristina Kalnoski.

There are several versions of this recipe. This is the original from a restaurant in New York.

4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts — cooked and cooled and sliced in half horizontally Fresh broccoli trimmed and cut lengthwise into stems. You can cook in boiling water until tender, but I do not do this. We like a bit of crunch.

Melt in sauce pan: ½ stick butter

Stir in: 5 tablespoons butter and stir until smooth.

Add: 2 ¼ cups milk — stirring constantly until thick.

Temper one egg yolk and stir into hot milk sauce.

Whisk until blended.

Stir in ½ cup Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.

Place broccoli in a 13 x 9 pan and place chicken slices over top.

Pour the sauce over top.

Bake uncovered for 350 F until bubbly and lightly browned.

Makes 6 servings. ENJOY! P.S., I sprinkle cheddar cheese over top and then bake.

cado mixture and then the sour cream/mayo mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, onions, tomatoes and olives.

Top with a dollop of sour cream in the center and a few spoonfuls of salsa if you like.

Serve with tortilla chips.

BOILED SPICE CAKE This is from an old book entitled “Old Settler’s Cookbook.”

My sister Elaine sent it to me. I use it a lot.

2 cups raisins 2 cups sugar 2 cups warm water 3 tablespoons lard (butter) 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon each ginger, allspice, cloves and salt

⁄3 cup hot water 2 teaspoons soda 3 cups flour Mix first 9 ingredients. Let boil slowly for 10 minutes.

Let cool 2 hours.

Add hot water with soda and flour Bake in large pan — 10 x 14.

Bake at 350 F for approximately 1 hour. Test middle to see if done.

Serve like this or make a frosting of powdered sugar and milk and pour over slightly warm cake.

Moist cake can be stored for a long length of time in refrigerator.

Note: Add chopped walnuts if you like after you boil it.

SoHi skaters topple Kenai

By Jeff Helminiak Peninsula Clarion

The Soldotna hockey team checked all the boxes Tuesday, notching a big win over a rival on senior night while staying alive for the Railbelt Conference crown.

The Stars topped Kenai Central 7-1 at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, pulling away with four goals in the third period.

Seniors Corbin Wirz, Galen Brantley III, David Aley, Alex Montague, Wyatt Medcoff, Lance Chilton, Journey Miller and manager Marina Walton were honored.

While the Kardinals are already locked into the third slot in the Railbelt Conference and a trip to the Division II state tournament from Feb. 6 to 8 at the Patty Center in Fairbanks, the Stars are still playing for the top slot in the conference.

After downing the Kards on Tuesday, Soldotna now

must win at Juneau-Douglas on Friday and Saturday to secure the top seed over Homer.

The Stars grabbed a lead in the first period when Trent Powell, assisted by Jose Montague and Dylan Dahlgren, and Brantley III, assisted by Jose Montague and Silas Larsen, scored.

In the second period, the Kards had 11 shots to SoHi’s 10. Kenai was putting heavy pressure on SoHi’s net when the Stars took a quick trip down the ice and Aley, assisted by Alex Montague and Dylan Walton, made it 3-0 headed to the third.

SoHi stretched that to 5-0 as Gavin Haakenson, assisted

by Journey Miller and Brantley III, and Brantley III, assisted by Miller, scored.

Kenai then got its lone goal of the night when Travis Verkuilen, assisted by Cooper Stock and Tucker Vann, scored with 10:11 to play.

Montague and Powell, and Haakenson, assisted by Medcoff and Miller, finished the scoring.

Wirz made 33 saves on 34 shots. Jackson Cross played

the first two periods and made 18 saves on 21 shots.

Tommy Baker played the third and stopped 17 of 21 shots.

Bryant leaves lasting impact on women’s basketball HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Kobe Bryant always had an interest in women’s basketball, one that he shared with many in the sport even before his daughter Gianna started excelling at the game.

Whether it was mentoring players like Diana Taurasi, Jewell Loyd and Sabrina Ionescu or working out with Gabby Williams and Katie Lou Samuelson, Bryant routinely gave of himself to help them improve their games.

But he had only scratched the surface.

UConn coach Geno

Auriemma believes that Bryant’s biggest contributions to women’s basketball were in front of him before the NBA great and his daughter were killed in a helicopter crash Sunday.

“I don’t think he got a chance to really establish (a legacy) in our game,” Auriemma said. “The next 30 years, he might have.

The next generation of kids who knew his daughter and played with Gigi. He gets involved at a whole another level. He was just getting started.”

Taurasi was one of the first

WNBA players that Bryant worked with, even dubbing her the White Mamba — a take on his nickname the Black Mamba.

“He came to L.A. when I was a freshman in high school and we grew up together in many ways,” Taurasi said, “He worked with me and others because he wanted to see us succeed since we had similar obsessions to the game of basketball.”

Once he retired from the NBA, Bryant became more of a presence at college games with Gianna, who was enamored with UConn. Bryant

spent time coaching Gianna’s youth team and Loyd was so impressed with what he had done with them.

“A lot of the resources are for men’s basketball and there was not a lot of access for a lot of females. Kobe wanted to change that,” said Loyd. “They were so fundamentally sound and played so well together it was fun to watch.”

Loyd remembered first meeting Bryant when she was in high school.

She grew up in Chicago and went to one of his Lakers games. She started

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Jan. 29, the 29th day of 2020. There are 337 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 29, 2002, in his first State of the Union address, President George W. Bush said terrorists were still threatening America — and he warned of “an axis of evil” consisting of North Korea, Iran and Iraq.

On this date: In 1820, King George III died at Windsor Castle at age 81; he was succeeded by his son, who became King George IV. In 1856, Britain’s Queen Victoria introduced the Victoria Cross to reward military acts of valor during the Crimean War. In 1861, Kansas became the 34th state of the Union.

In 1936, the first inductees of baseball’s Hall of Fame, including Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, were named in Cooperstown, New York.

In 1963, the first charter members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame were named in Canton, Ohio (they were enshrined when the Hall opened in September 1963). Poet Robert Frost died in Boston at age 88.

In 1975, a bomb exploded inside the U.S. State Department in Washington, causing considerable damage, but injuring no one; the radical group Weather Underground claimed responsibility.

In 1979, President Jimmy Carter formally welcomed Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping (dung shah-oh-ping) to the White House, following the establishment of diplomatic relations.

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan announced in a nationally broadcast message that he and Vice President George H.W. Bush would seek re-election in the fall.

In 1995, the San Francisco 49ers became the first team in NFL history to win five Super Bowl titles, beating the San Diego Chargers, 49-26, in Super Bowl XXIX. In 1998, a bomb rocked an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, killing security guard Robert Sanderson and critically injuring nurse Emily Lyons. (The bomber, Eric Rudolph, was captured in May 2003 and is serving a life sentence.)

In 2005, jetliners from China landed in rival Taiwan for the first time in 56 years. Serena Williams defeated Lindsay Davenport 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 in the Australian Open final.

In 2006, ABC “World News Tonight” co-anchor Bob Woodruff and a cameraman were seriously injured in a roadside bombing in Iraq.

Ten years ago: In a face-to-face confrontation, President Barack Obama chastised Republican lawmakers during a GOP event in Baltimore for opposing him on taxes, health care and the economic stimulus, while they accused him in turn of brushing off their ideas and driving up the national debt. A jury in Wichita, Kansas, swiftly convicted abortion opponent Scott Roeder (ROH’-dur) of murder in the shooting death of Dr. George Tiller, one of the only doctors to offer late-term abortions in the U.S. (Roeder was sentenced to life in prison.) Haitian authorities detained 10 U.S. Baptist missionaries who were transporting 33 children to a Dominican Republic orphanage, though as it turned out, most of the children had living parents; all of the Americans were later released.

Five years ago: Nine Democrats joined 53 Republicans in passing a Senate bill to construct the Keystone XL oil pipeline in defiance of a presidential veto threat. Rod McKuen, whose music, verse and spoken-word recordings made him one of the best-selling poets in history, died at 81.

One year ago: The largest utility in the U.S., Pacific Gas & Electric, filed for bankruptcy as it faced billions of dollars in potential damages from wildfires in California. Actor Jussie Smollett from the TV show “Empire” told police he had been physically attacked in Chicago by men who shouted racial and homophobic slurs.

(Investigators concluded that Smollett made a false report because he believed it would give his career a boost; he was charged with 16 felony counts related to making a false report, but the charges were dropped without any admission of guilt.)

In his fiancee’s eyes, man’s secret life online is cheating

I and I plan on getting don’t know what else to married very soon. do as there’s a wedding My problem is, Eric soon. — DESPERATE is secretive.

When I have confronted him about chatting with the other DEAR ABBY: How do you know women, he gets angry and withif a friend is actually a “frenemy”? draws. One woman even sent me I think my friend “Gwen” may be their chat history, and he lied about one. that, too.

I successfully started a second

career and was doing well, but Gwen had no interest in hearing about it. She also announced her engagement on my wedding day, which diverted attention away from me on my special day.

I went through a difficult time because several family members passed away, and Gwen was neither supportive nor particularly sympathetic. Her lack of response made things even harder for me. I no longer feel like I can share my successes about saving money or getting raises, because this “friend” would be threatened by it. I almost felt Gwen was happy when I was struggling, because it made her better than I was.

Is it OK to let people go? Is this a real friend? — FRIEND OR FOE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR F. OR F.: Gwen appears to have neither good judgment nor empathy. If those are qualities you value in a friend, my advice is to look elsewhere. Friends celebrate their friends’ successes and reach out to offer comfort when they

suffer losses. It is not only OK to let people like Gwen drift away, but it is also healthy.

DEAR ABBY: My neighbor has a 17-year-old daughter. Fifteen weekdays a month she and a boy from school come home for 30 to 50 minutes during the noon hour. (Five days a month she comes home by herself.) Her mom and dad are both at work. Do you think her parents should know about the “nooners” at their house? — NOSY NEIGHBOR IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR NEIGHBOR: Yes, I do think you should casually ask if they are aware of it. However, when you do, make sure not to sound accusatory or judgmental — just “curious.”

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You feel far more energized than you have in the recent past. You wonder about a hunch or a random thought that keeps occurring. Trust your intuition. You could prevent a costly error by being thorough in your investigation. Tonight: Doing your thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH Lately, you have a way of shaking up the status quo. If someone veers in a new direction, you

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might be surprised by all the energy around you. Others seek you out and want your feedback. A brainstorming session could come out of a meeting. You could be delighted by what emerges. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your ability to do what you want and gain another person’s confidence emerges. Someone might question you a little too much for your taste, but he or she will stand back when you take action.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You have been languishing in a more laid-back mode, but an event or realization will quickly move you off your duff. Once you see and understand a new possibility, holding you back could be challenging. Tonight: Ask as many questions as you need to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be too tired to move quickly on an offer. Given

hints from heloise

Time to ponder your garden

Dear Heloise: Now that the holidays are over, many of us are longing for spring and planting our GARDENS. No matter how small the yard, it’s always fun to grow some of your own vegetables.

Tomatoes are easy to grow in a wire cage or even in a pot. There’s nothing like homegrown vegetables, picked when they are ripe and ready to be eaten. It’s also nice to get the kids involved and teach them where their food comes from and how healthy it is to grow food that isn’t coated with wax or insect sprays, or isn’t genetically modified. — Steve and Gloria, Marshall, Ill. Steve and Gloria, I love growing a few tomatoes, onions and lettuce. It’s always fresh and has a wonderful flavor when it comes straight from the garden. It’s also a great sense of accomplishment to see the results and then use those veggies in something like the recipe coming up next. — Heloise

This year, you move into a new mode where you become unusually fussy about communication. Rather than criticize others, focus first on yourself. Try to increase your ability to communicate and say what you think and feel. If single, you will be attractive to various people. Do not date on that basis but because you want to be with the person.

If attached, the two of you might disagree on how to run your budget.

You might even opt for separate checkbooks. Make your priorities one and you might develop a strong financial base. ARIES always lets you know what they think.

might wonder if this action was done to avoid you. Perhaps this person values more stability. Give him or her some space. Tonight: Consider signing up for a yoga class.

Impeach From Page A1

There are still several days before any potential witness vote would be taken. A decision to call more witnesses would require 51 votes to pass. With a 53-47 majority, Republicans can only afford to lose three.

If senators agree they want more witnesses they would then have to vote again on who to call.

McConnell convened the private meeting shortly after Trump’s legal team concluded their arguments in the trial, arguing forcefully against the relevance of testimony from Bolton and insisting that nothing Trump had done amounted to an impeachable offense.

While scoffing at Bolton’s book manuscript, Trump and the Republicans have strongly resisted summoning him to testify in person about what he saw and heard as Trump’s top national security adviser.

A day after the defense team largely brushed past Bolton, attorney Jay Sekulow addressed the controversy head-on by dismissing the book — said to contradict a key defense argument about Trump’s dealings with Ukraine — as

Peninsula Clarion

named after the scholar.

Powell brought his note to the courthouse. Following a brief open letter format introduction to the governor, it outlines a number of points that Powell hoped would be addressed, including justice for Alaska Natives treated poorly

by the government, restitution for reduced PFD payoffs over the last several years, an end to mandatory vaccines, and an international case brought against Japan and General Electric for environmental effects of radiation in Alaska resulting from the Fukushima event.

“In the days to come, I will stand tall with Jesus Christ,” Powell said in an interview after the court hearing.

“The Lord’s been pulling at my heart about this my whole life.”

“inadmissible.”

“It is not a game of leaks and unsourced manuscripts,” Sekulow said.

A night earlier Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz said that nothing in the manuscript — even if true — rises to the level of an impeachable offense. Sekulow also sought to undermine the credibility of Bolton’s book by noting that Attorney General William Barr has disputed comments attributed to him by Bolton.

Senate Republicans spent considerable time in private discussing how to deal with Bolton’s manuscript without extending the proceedings or jeopardizing the president’s expected acquittal. Those lost steam, and Democrats showed no interest.

Chuck Schumer, the Senate’s top Democrat, called a proposal for senators to be shown the manuscript in private, keeping Bolton out of public testimony, “absurd.” “We’re not bargaining with them. We want four witnesses, and four sets of documents, then the truth will come out,” Schumer said. ‘Senators are being warned that if they agree to call Bolton to testify or try to access his book manuscript, the White House will block him, beginning a weekslong court battle over executive privilege and national security. That

had seemed to leave the few senators, including Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who have expressed a desire to hear new testimony without strong backing. Also, other Republicans including Sen. Pat Toomey want reciprocity — bring in Bolton or another Democratic witness in exchange for one from the GOP side. Some Republicans want to hear from Biden and his son, Hunter, who was on the board of a Ukrainian gas company when his father was vice president.

The Bidens were a focus of Trump defense arguments though no evidence of wrongdoing has emerged. The lawyers also delved into areas that Democrats see as outside the scope of impeachment, chastising former FBI Director James Comey and seizing on surveillance errors the FBI has acknowledged making in its Russian election interference probe.

Trump’s attorneys argued that the Founding Fathers took care to make sure that impeachment was narrowly defined, with offenses clearly enumerated.

“The bar for impeachment cannot be set this low,” Sekulow said.

“Danger. Danger. Danger. These articles must be rejected. The Constitution requires it. Justice demands it.”

Before consideration of witnesses, the case now moves toward written questions, with senators on both sides getting 16 hours to pose queries. By late in the week, they are expected to hold a vote on whether or not to hear from any witnesses.

“I don’t know that the manuscript would make any difference in the outcome of the trial,” said Roy Blunt of Missouri, a member of GOP leadership. And some Republicans said they simply don’t trust Bolton’s word. Rand Paul of Kentucky called Bolton “disgruntled”’ and seeking to make money off his time at the White house. But John Kelly, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, told an audience in Sarasota, Florida, that he believes Bolton.

White House officials privately acknowledge that they are essentially powerless to block the book’s publication, but could sue after the fact if they believe it violated the confidentiality agreement Bolton signed against disclosing classified information.

Trump is charged with abusing his presidential power by asking Ukraine’s leader to help investigate Biden at the same time his administration was withholding hundreds of millions of dollars in security aid.

A second charge accuses Trump of obstructing Congress in its probe.

Wuhan From Page A1

All passengers on board were screened multiple times prior to departure from Wuhan for signs or symptoms of respiratory illness and were only allowed to board if they showed no symptoms. The passengers are scheduled to disembark in Anchorage in order to assure their safety while the plane refuels, to undergo further health screenings and to clear U.S. customs.

The health screenings are coordinated by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and any passengers found to have a cough, fever or shortness of breath will undergo additional assessments.

In a Tuesday afternoon press release, DHSS said those in close contact with passengers — health screening staff, U.S. Customs and Border Protection staff and one ground handler — would be required to wear CDC-recommended personal protective equipment.

More than 4,500 cases of the coronavirus have been reported in China and more than 100 people have died, according to the AP. Symptoms of the coronavirus include fever, cough, shortness of breath and pneumonia.

In response to the outbreak, China has quarantined the city of Wuhan as well as 16 other cities in the Hubei province.

Other countries like Japan and South Korea have planned similar evacuations.
