| Part 2 - Southeast Alaska Fish Rights Robbed:
By Victor Smith - "Prior to taking any action?" What SEAS' February 2002 newsletter didn't tell their membership was that Zuanich, Bedford, and Thorstenson had already taken action, starting right after the November 2001 meeting. Working through November and December, they filed their own fleet reduction legislation, State of Alaska House Bill 286, on Friday January 4, 2002, a full month before they announced it to their membership in the Brailer Scoop. (I gave testimony on HB 286 to the Senate Judiciary Committee in the spring of 2002.) It was likely no coincidence that salmon processors had been in meetings in Anchorage on January 2nd thru the 4th. Immediately after SEAS' November 2001 meeting, influential processor spokesmen had expressed concern seiners might seek fleet reduction on their own terms.
Salmonella behind peanut-butter poisoning found
WASHINGTON - Federal inspectors found the strain of salmonella behind a recent food-poisoning outbreak at the ConAgra Foods Inc. plant that made the tainted peanut butter, the Food and Drug Administration said Thursday. Beyond the Sylvester, Ga., plant, the strain also has been isolated from open jars of the company's peanut butter and some of the 370 people who have fallen ill in the outbreak, the FDA said. ConAgra on Feb. 14 recalled all Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter made at the Georgia plant after federal health officials linked the product to an outbreak that began in August. The recall now includes all such products made since December 2005, the FDA said. "The fact that FDA found salmonella in the plant environment further suggests that the contamination likely took place prior to the product reaching consumers," the agency said in a statement.

Transcript of Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns News Conference ...
SEC. JOHANNS: Well, why don't we go ahead and get started here? I do have some somewhat lengthy prepared comments, and then I'll take some questions. But if I - I might point out within the room today we have undersecretaries, we have a lot of folks that can answer any questions that you might have about the specifics of the budget. So I'll take a few questions and then I'll step aside and you can approach them and ask any other questions you might have. Let me start out, if I might and just say thanks for being here this afternoon. It is the first Monday in February, and that's time to present the president's budget, and this will be the budget proposal for the USDA for Fiscal Year 2008. As I mentioned, I am joined today by members of the sub-cabinet and by Scott Steele, who is the U.S.
The pizza at Nathan's delivers a fresh and puffy crust.
For example, the other night I wandered into Nathan's Pizza and Pub, a new casual pizza joint in Beaverdale. The minute I walked through the door, the fellow behind the bar warmly greeted us and simply said that we could sit anywhere we wish.
Now, was that so hard?
It may seem like nothing at all, but how many casual places have you wandered into, alone and ignored, wondering how things worked?
The warm welcome spoke to the casual but cordial groove of this simple but solid neighborhood venue.
WHAT: The spot - a former gas station - is the previous site of Chef's Corner Kitchen, which has since moved up the road.
MENU: Pizza, side salads and predictable appetizers - mozzarella and bread sticks, chicken fingers, onion rings, etc.
