Soldotna man indicted on narcotics chargesBy Karen Garcia | Peninsula Clarion

A Kenai grand jury indicted a Soldotna man last Friday on five felony drug charges involving the possession of and intent to deliver oxycodone, morphine and methadone.

Stanley Koberstein, 52, faces three class A felony charges for allegedly attempting to deliver oxycodone, morphine and methadone to a female friend he would not name. Koberstein is also charged with unlawful possession of morphine -- a class C felony -- and bringing methadone into a correctional facility, also a class C felony.

On April 9, Soldotna Police Sgt. Stace Escott pulled over a black Jeep with expired tags. The passenger, Koberstein, gave his correct last name but a false first name and date of birth, a lie that was revealed when Escott ran the information through the Alaska Public Safety Information Network.

Koberstein admitted his real identity and told Escott there was a warrant out for his arrest for driving while his license was revoked. Escott arrested Koberstein and asked if he had any contraband that would not be allowed into Wildwood Correctional Facility. Again, Koberstein allegedly lied and said he did not.

When Escott searched Koberstein and his handbag, he found a smaller bag inside of that, and a tin inside of that -- like a series of Russian nesting dolls. The small bag contained, in addition to the tin, a hypodermic needle, a pipe, and a small measuring cup with a white melted substance. The tin contained white and orange pills identified as oxycodone and morphine.

According to Escott's submitted affidavit, Koberstein stated that the pills didn't belong to him and that he had "picked them up for a friend." When they arrived at Wildwood, Escott continued to interrogate Koberstein, who said a female friend had asked him to pick up a small black bag from another friend's car in Kasilof and then deliver it to her in Sterling. Koberstein said she paid him $100 to do this, and that he didn't know what was inside of the bag.

When Koberstein was searched at Wildwood, an officer felt a small bindle on the back of Koberstein's right pant leg. The officer removed the bindle and found 40 tablets identified at methadone. Koberstein said the pills were "prescribed to him and he kept them hidden away so people wouldn't steal them from him."

Koberstein was released from jail on April 20 when the charges filed against him were dismissed. His case was reopened and the charges refiled on April 29 when he was indicted by the grand jury.

Koberstein is scheduled for superior court arraignment on May 10.

Stephanie CHILSON

<--> From Stephanie Koberstein:

Hello everyone!  My name is Stephanie (Chilson) Koberstein, and I
graduated from OACS in 1982.  When I look at the list of alumni e-mail addresses, I think that I should win some sort of prize for having the longest address.  What do you think?  After receiving this newsletter for over a month, I guess it's about time that I finally get something in here -- although I note that my sister (Frances - Class of '80) hasn't written anything yet either.  You will definitely be receiving the "Reader's Digest Conden sed Version" of my life story.  Otherwise, I'd have to worry about publishing rights (including fees, etc.) since everyone tells me that I simply MUST write a book about my life.  So here goes....
1982 - I went to Grove City College and began studying Engineering.
Then I changed my major after realizing that just because I liked math it didn't mean that Calculus was for me.  I ended up with a degree in Computer with an Accounting major -- having found that accounting is the type of math I truly enjoy.  I graduated in May 1986.
Fall 1986 - I began working for Electronic Data Systems (owned by Ross Perot) - Morristown, New Jersey.  Good job.  Good money.  I hate
cubicles.
Summer 1987 - I began working as a temp. for Xerox in Rochester.  I
computerized and eliminated my own job.
Summer 1989 - I became a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and went to Tokyo, Japan.
December 1990 - Returned to Oakfield and began to job hunt.
March 1991 - Began teaching the Japanese language in the Rochester City Schools.  Teacher by day, student by night.
Summer 1992 - Decided to have a summer adventure, so instead of working for a temp. agency, a friend and I answered an ad "8,000 job openings in Alaska.  Call for more information."  We called and we went.  They paid airfare to and from Seattle, provided room and board, plus $7/hour with lots of opportunity at overtime.  I made over $1000 in 15 days.  All I had to do was rip the guts out of fish.  Sounds exciting, huh?  Actually it was!  I met a lot of fun people.  For the most part, it was college students (future white-collar workers) all working this bloody, messy blue collar job.  I even got to mingle with some blue collar Japanese workers who were never sure how much of what they said I could understand -- there were a few times that even though I only understood 1 word in 10, as soon I'd walk into the room they'd begin apologizing to the girl they were hitting on!  (Remember, I learned Japanese words as a missionary, I'd have no reason to understand THOSE words!!)  As the season in Bristol Bay ended, before leaving we were given the opportunity to work in a cannery in Kenai (south of Anchorage) for a couple more weeks.  So I went over there where the scenery is SPECTACULAR, and also to continue the summertime romance that had begun in Bristol Bay.  Stan had moved to Alaska from Oregon the previous winter.  I returned to NY the end of August, in time for my sister's wedding and the new school year.
Summer 1993 - Stan and I got married at my parents cottage on Rushford Lake and moved to Alaska.
The next couple of years I lived in a cabin without running water and I bounced around job wise-- substitute teacher(1993-1996), Culligan lady, secretary, telemarketer, Environmental Construction Administrative Assistant(1994-1995), Home Health Executive Secretary(1996-1997), etc.
It's amazing the jobs that can be obtained just because of a little
piece of paper that says "Bachelor of Arts."  If any student ever needs a reason for finishing college, I can give about a thousand!
Summer 1995 - Our daughter Jenna Rose "Pumpkin Pie" Koberstein was
born.  She's the light and love of our lives.
Summer 1997 - FINALLY back into teaching!  The career I've been trying to get back into for 4 years.  Using my math certification, and all of those business and accounting college hours, I can be certified to be a Vocational Education teacher in the State of Alaska.  Therefore, as a Voc. Ed teacher, I can teach Home Ec.  (Do I have college-level Home Ec?  No, but all of those years of 4-H have really paid off!)  I LOVE this job.  We are in a town called KOTZEBUE, located 30 miles north of the Arctic Circle.  85% Inupiat Eskimo.  We even have one paved road.
October 31 - November 9, 1998, I took 5 Kotzebue High School students to a Future Homemakers of America conference in Buffalo, New York.  A
chance of a lifetime for these girls.  They got treated like queens.  I was proud to call western New York "home" and just as proud to say these girls were from my "home" in Alaska.  (Where is "home" anyway?)
And that brings us to now!  I hope I didn't bore anyone.  I didn't want this to end up too long, but as Mr. Motts will agree, I've never been good at using 5 words when I can fit in 25!

You have my e-mail address.  The "old-fashioned" means of contact are:
   Stephanie (Chilson) Koberstein
   P.O. Box 191
   Kotzebue, AK 99752
Or:  (907)442-2537

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.  Here's an early Merry
Christmas wish to you all.

HISTORY OF THOMAS BLACK & FAMILY

John Black & Anne Miller were married in Carriden
Parish, Linlithgowshire, Scotland, Dec. 8th. , 1815.
They lived on a farm, Kinglass, where he was born and
lived all his life, also his forefathers for several
generations, and are all buried in Carriden
Churchyard.

They were all strict Presbyterians and attended
Carriden Church, where one of them was also an Elder.
That honor seemed to descend from father to son, for
generations.  John filled the position until his
death, and then the honor descended to his son,
Thomas.

John Black’s grandfather fled to Holland during the
Persecution, and brought back to Scotland two large
copper plates, which he presented to Carriden Kirk,
which were used for the church collections.  They were
not passed around, but stood near the door and when
the congregation came in, they would drop their money
into them and it was the Elder’s duty to stand beside
the plates until the church service began.  The old
Carriden Church was remodeled in 1886, and the old
plates were discarded for more modern appliances.

John lived a very good life, and I’ve heard that he
could pray like a minister.  When asked to say Grace
at the table, his wife would put her hand on his
shoulder and say: “Say awa John”, and his prayer was
perfect.

John Black died in 1845 and his wife died Dec. 25th,
1864.  Both were laid to rest in Carriden Churchyard.
They had been married late in life and four children
were born to them:

John Black died in 1845 and his wife died Dec. 25th,
1864.  Both were laid to rest in Carriden Churchyard.
They had been married late in life and four children
were born to them:

John:  Born October 25th 1816

William:  Born April 4th 1818

Thomas:  Born January 7th 1821

Anne:      Born April 19th 1825

John, the oldest son was to be a farmer.  William
learned the carpenter trade and Thomas was learning to
be a blacksmith when his brother John took pneumonia
and died.  Then Thomas came home and was the farmer.
And, after his Father’s death, remained on the farm.

William went to America when he was very young.
Before going, he was engaged to Miss Janet Monteith.
He stayed two or three years in New York, then came
home, married Janet and lived in Bonistoness,
Scotland.  They had a large family, but only five
lived to grow up.  John, Anne, Jessie, William and
Christina.

William died in 1870; his wife died in 1895.  After
the Father’s death, the family moved to Glasgow.
John, the oldest son went to South Africa, returning
to Scotland in 1892, then came to America and lived in
Denver Colorado, where he married Miss Mary Hewison,
and had two children Janet and John.

William was twice married.  His first wife died,
leaving three daughters, and his second wife had two
daughters, Anne, Jessie and Christina remained single.

Anne Black married Alexander Miller in 1849 and lived
in the town of Linlithgow all her life.  She died in
1896 and was buried in Linlithgow.   She had a large
family, but only three lived to grow up.  Anne, John
and James.

Anne married William Hill and had two sons and one
daughter.

John married and had two sons and one daughter.

James died unmarried in 1897.

Thomas Black lived on the farm with his Mother and her
sister, Margaret Miller, or Aunt Peggy, as she was
called, until he married in 1850.  His Mother and Aunt
spoiled him by waiting on him hand and foot.  He was a
good farmer and made plenty of money.  He liked his
home and did not often go to balls or entertainments
with his young friends.  A staunch Presbyterian, he
never told a conventional fib, and always spoke the
truth whether it offended or not.

When a young man, he joined the Teetotalers and lived
a life of temperance.  In Scotland, when his
companions took liquor, he always asked for a glass of
milk and used to say he “drank enough milk every year
to swim himself.”

Being related to the McAllister’s to the Earl of
Hopeton, he once was highly entertained by the Earl,
and when the Duke of Hamilton married Princess- Marie
of Baden and brought his bride home to Scotland,
Thomas was invited to the reception, and in speaking
of it, he would say-“Such grandeur he never saw!
Before or since!”

He was also related to Clan Gordon and Clan MacKenzie.

Thomas married his second cousin, Anne Montgomery,
November 13th 1850.  Elizabeth Miller, Anne’s mother
being his first cousin, Anne was about three years
younger than Thomas and her first home was in the
Highlands of Scotland in Tarbert on Loch Finns.  Their
Father died in 1849 and she and her Mother went to
Wales where her brother and sister lived.

Thomas went to Wales, and they were married in Merthy
Tydvil, November 13th 1850, by an Episcopal minister.
They came home to Scotland and lived at Kinglass for
two years, then they moved to a larger farm nearby
called “The Gause”, where nearly all their children
were born.  In 1866 they moved to a larger farm called
“William Craigs”, near Linlithgow, where their two
youngest children were born.  They had ten children,
five sons and five daughters.

In 1863, Thomas went “security” for one of his friends
who rented a large farm.  There came a series of wet
years and early frosts in that part of Scotland, and
it ruined the man for whom he’d gone security.  Thomas
had to pay the note.

These crop failures were so hard financially that
after settling up affairs, he found himself a poor man
with a large family.

It was a hard change in fortune, and Thomas not
wanting to be poor and stay in his own country, he had
a sale and accepted a position on the Island of
Ceylon, where they were making preparations to go when
an Uncle of his wife’s, who lived in Wales heard of
their financial reverses.  This uncle owned a large
tract of land in America, called Bloom, Cook County,
Illinois.  It is what today is known as Chicago
Heights.  The uncle took the first train to Scotland
and persuaded them to give up the position in Ceylon
and go to America, promising them a gift of 160 acres
of his land in Bloom, as Anne was his favorite niece
and he had no children of his own.  He could not sail
on the same boat with them, as he had some urgent
business to attend to at home, but would sail on the
next boat in two weeks time.

Thomas and family sailed from Glasgow in June 1869,
and were three weeks crossing the Atlantic.  Their old
friends, Mr. And Mrs. Abercrumbie, a Presbyterian
minister and wife, who had twelve sons, met them in
New York.  They rested in New York a few days, then
came on to Bloom and stayed with Uncle David Miller,
an uncle of Anne’s.  There were also a number of
cousins in Bloom, who had a house ready for them to go
into.  All were exceedingly kind to them, each
contributing a few pieces of furniture, so they went
at once to keeping house and were waiting for their
Uncle John from Wales to arrive, when a letter came
saying he had died very suddenly.  Thus, they were
stranded in a strange country without money or the
farm they came to get.  It was very hard for them.

The country was new.  Conditions so different from
what they had been used to, and they were homesick.
Anne especially, who used to sit and cry by the hour.
Thomas and his two oldest sons went to work and in the
spring they rented a farm on the edge of the village
of Crete, Illinois, a few miles from Bloom, near a
Church and a good school.  They lived there a number
of years, then moved to the vicinity of Momence,
Illinois, and later still to Morocco, Indiana, where
they resided the rest of their lives.

They soon learned the ways of American farming, which
was very different from that in Scotland.  They
learned to like America and made a great many friends.
They still had their ten children around them.

In 1878 their daughter Agnes was drowned and they
adopted a little motherless Swedish girl, Selma
Patterson, in her place so when Thomas died in March
1900, his ten children followed him to the grave.  His
wife lived two years longer, and both died in their
80th year.

Anne Black went back to Scotland in 1878 and visited
her brother and sisters and spent the winter in her
native land.  Thomas loved his home and seldom left it
the later years of his life, except to go to church.
They liked to have their grandchildren around them, as
it kept them young.

Thomas took pneumonia in his 80th year and was only
ill three days.  In the delirium of fever, he lived
his boyhood over again and spoke of the ships arriving
from Greenland and other things that happened in his
youth.  He died March 21st, 1900.  His wife died
December 2nd, 1902, in her 80th year, and for about
three weeks before her death, was in a state of coma.
She also went back to the scenes and language of her
childhood and spoke the Gallic.  She had a remarkable
memory, and there was a whole book of Scottish poems
that if one read the first line, she could repeat to
the end.  Thomas could do the same with Robert Burns,
-that and the Bible were his two books.

Anne and Thomas are both buried in the cemetery at
Morocco, Indiana, and their monument of Scottish
Aberdeen Granite says “Natives of Scotland.”

Little. There is more to the story, but that remains
to be hunted down and verified.

Shaking Table Tests on Dry and Saturated Sand with Large Embedded Objects
L. E. Vallejo, M.ASCE ; and Myra Mei Cheng Au, A.M.ASCE
Abstract
As a result of earthquakes, underground structures have been found to float up above the ground. In order to evaluate the mechanisms involved with the earthquake-induced uplift of buried structures, shaking table tests were conducted on a deposit of Ottawa sand containing large objects in the form of cylinders and spheres. The large objects were found to float to the surface of the sand regardless of whether the sand was dry or saturated. The time needed for the objects to appear at the surface of the sand was related to the unit weight of the objects: the heavier the object, the larger the time needed to appear at the surface. The results of the tests were evaluated using a method designed to calculate the stresses that an elastic material containing a large circular inclusion develops when subjected to an overall shear stress similar to the one induced by an earthquake on soils in the field.
