In the news Corps releases draft review of Pebble Mine project JUNEAU — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has released a draft report detailing potential impacts of developing a large copper-and-gold mine near the headwaters of a major Alaska fishery. The corps plans to take comments through March, April and May on its analysis of various development alternatives for the proposed Pebble Mine, including a nodevelopment option. The Pebble Limited Partnership has proposed an open-pit mine and related infrastructure including a power plant and water treatment plants and tailings storage sites. The project is in Alaska’s Bristol Bay region. About half the world’s sockeye salmon is produced by Bristol Bay. Critics say a mine doesn’t belong there. Pebble in 2017 settled a lawsuit with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that cleared the way for the company to seek permits.
Arizona lawmaker to be sentenced in June in Alaska murder JUNEAU — Sentencing has again been delayed for a former Arizona state legislator who last year was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of a man at a remote cabin in southeast Alaska. Mark Desimone was found guilty in May of killing Duilio Antonio “Tony” Rosales during a 2016 hunting and fishing trip. Sentencing has twice been delayed. It has now been set for June 17 to accommodate travel for Rosales’ family. During trial, his attorney didn’t dispute Desimone fatally shot Rosales, but unsuccessfully argued it was an accident and a lack of motive was a huge hole in the prosectuor’s case. Desimone resigned from the Arizona House in 2008 after being arrested in a domestic dispute with his then-wife. That case was dropped when he agreed to counseling. — Associated Press

2019 king outlook below average By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion
The 2019 Kenai River king salmon outlook is below average according to the state’s 2019 forecast.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game released both the early- and late-run predictions for king salmon on Feb. 12 and called for a below average early run and a well below average late run.
The department is forecasting 3,168 large fish in the early run, meaning king salmon equal to or larger than 34 inches in total length. “The 2019 forecasted total run of large fish is less
than the optimum escapement goal of 3,900 to 6,600 fish and far below the 19862018 average total run of approximately 9,300 large fish,” according to a memo

State of the Judiciary Last year in Nome, a court employee clicked on an attachment in an email as they sifted through their inbox. That attachment unleashed a virus into the court’s computer system and shut it down for six days, Alaska Courts System Deputy Director Doug Wooliver said. “If it had been in Anchorage or Fairbanks,” Wooliver said, “it could have spread to the rest of the state.” The hack was contained immediately and didn’t spread, Chief Justice Joel H. Bolger said in an interview Wednesday. Still, the situation was a scare to the court system, and Bolger mentioned it Wednesday in his State of the Judiciary speech to a joint session of the Alaska House of Representatives and Senate. Increasing cybersecurity is one facet of the court system becoming more technologically savvy, Bolger said in his 18-minute address. In

easy-to-understand online tool could help them. This tool, called the Legal Navigator, is an online service that provides people with an interactive way to learn See STATE, page A2
Local provisions for the protection of whistleblowers were passed at Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting. Prior borough code did not have a policy to protect whistleblowers, or people who expose potentially illegal or unethical information within an organization. Alaska law provides protections for whistleblowers but allows municipalities to create their own whistleblower policies. The new policy protects borough employees and management to report matters of public concern without fear of retribution. Borough-specific whistleblower protections help to ensure the borough is held to the highest standard in transparency and ethical behavior, according to the ordinance, which was introduced by assembly members Kelly Cooper and Hal Smalley. “It was found that the borough doesn’t have a whistleblower policy and with the current political climate locally and nationally, we thought it was important that the borough is held to the highest standards,” assembly member Brent Hibbert said at Tuesday’s meeting.

‘Willy Wonka’ brought to life by Kenai Performers By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
In a world of imagination, the Kenai Performers are bringing Willy Wonka to reality. The Kenai production company is showcasing “Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka” using the 50th anniversary musical rendition of the book with eight showings over two weekends. Kenai Performers “Willy Wonka” co-directors Terri Burdick and Donna Shirnberg collaborated with music director Audra Faris on the production, receiving help with musical mind Kent Peterson. Peterson will conduct the orchestra during the play,

using original music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley.
Shirnberg said that as Kenai Performers’ productions have risen in talent and popu-
larity, the company felt compelled to up its game with a retelling and retooling of the classic children’s novel. “When we were looking at what next comes next, we knew it had to top ‘Shrek’,” Shirnberg said about the previous production. “It had to be something to appeal to children in the cast.” Shirnberg said the play gives a special nod to actor Gene Wilder, the original face of Willy Wonka in the 1971 film, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” “It’s true to Gene Wilder,” Shirnberg said. “It’s a tribute to him. He’s Willy, and he’ll always be Willy.” Shirnberg said the crew wished to bridge the gap
between the 1971 film and current incarnations of the character, which in its most recent revival was brought to life by Johnny Depp in the 2005 film “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” The leading role of Charlie Bucket is portrayed by 13-year-old Clare Henry, an eighth-grader at Cook Inlet Academy. Henry said the soft-spoken and honest character is her first as a leading role, but one that she has found a passion for. Henry said her audition went well because her personality matches that of Charlie. “I wasn’t so quiet,” she explained. “It was easy and it was hard in some ways.” See PLAY, page A3
Alaska Natives want a voice in the budget-making process BY BEN HOHENSTATT Capital City Weekly
Proposing a budget is just one step in the budget making process, and Liz Medicine Crow and Kendra Kloster want to make sure Alaska Natives help shape Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed budget as it takes its ultimate form.
Medicine Crow, President and CEO for First Alaskans Institute, and Kloster, Executive Director for Native Peoples Action, were guest speakers at a Native Issues Forum Wednesday and urged those in attendance to pay attention to proposed budget cuts, be mindful of how communities will be impacted and
be willing to share their stories with state lawmakers. “If this really is just a conversation starter, then let’s not let that be a conversation that’s one sided,” Medicine Crow said. “This is a proposal, and the Legislature has to do the duty of vetting this proposal and hearing from the citizens of this state and that
Cannabis industry expresses uncertainty with new admin By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press
JUNEAU — Gov. Mike Dunleavy has no plans to change marijuana legalization, a spokesman said Wednesday, even as the Republican administration’s appointments and proposal for a state regulatory board worry some in the legal can-
nabis industry. Spokesman Matt Shuckerow also said that Dunleavy has no desire to push the industry in one direction or the other. Dunleavy has made new appointments to the fivemember Marijuana Control Board while also planning to propose repealing its existence.
His appointment of Vivian Stiver, a marijuana critic, has riled industry members who have cast her as a prohibitionist. Stiver would replace Brandon Emmett, who is one of two industry representatives on the fivemember board. State law allows up to two seats to go to industry representatives See ADMIN, page A3
means we need to really show up. If the plate and the door is open for proposals, let’s put our own bold proposals forward.” Medicine Crow and Kloster did not drill in on one particular topic, but instead provided an overview of the budget’s $1 billion in proposed cuts for the audience
in Juneau’s Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall. Kloster said with so many areas on the chopping block, it’s important for people to find the ways the proposed budget could affect them and share their story with lawmakers. Both speakers shared ways the proposed budget could See VOICE, page A3
New auto shop opens By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
A new locally owned Kenai auto shop, Maxie’s Auto and Truck Repair, celebrated its grand opening on Feb. 1. Owner Kris Maxie spoke with the Clarion on Feb. 20 about why he opened the shop and his plans for the business. Maxie has lived on the peninsula for the last 18 years, and his 26 years of
mechanic experience goes all the way back to when he opened his first shop in Bethel at the age of 17. Now he runs his business with the help of his oldest son, Kameron, and his friend and fellow mechanic of 20 years, Tim. Maxie said that the main reason he started this business was to get his son involved and set him up with a good career. Maxie has experience See AUTO, page A3

This year’s outlook is more conservative than 2018’s, which forecasted about 5,499 large fish, with an approximate actual total run of 3,072 fish, a difference of 44 percent, or 2,400 fewer fish. The outlook for the late run is approximately 21,746 large fish. The department used this forecast to set a sustainable escapement goal of 13,500 to 27,000 fish.

closing their doors for Friday afternoons. At least one person would like to see the court stay open on Fridays — Gov. Mike Dunleavy. During his State of the State speech, Dunleavy said he hopes the Legislature approves funding for the courts to stay open all day on Friday so more cases can be prosecuted. During his speech Wednesday, Bolger said the court system had actually already finished its budget request to the state — but that it hadn’t included a request for funding to keep courts open on Fridays. Wooliver, who puts together the court system’s budget requests along with the members of the Supreme Court, said they reconsidered their request after seeing Dunleavy’s State of the State speech. Wooliver met with the Office of Management and Budget, he said, and found that
OMB would be supportive of finding money in the budget to get the court system open for more days. Wooliver said in a presentation to the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday morning that opening courts on Friday afternoons would cost the state about $3.1 million. “I believe the Legislature’s going to be supportive but we’ll see,” Wooliver said. “It’s up to them eventually, where they appropriate the money.” Making judges more versatile Bolger talked during his address about switching two District Court judgeships to Superior Court judgeships in Valdez and Homer. This might sound familiar to those in Juneau, as the court system switched one of Juneau’s District Court judge positions to a Supreme Court position last year. This proposal, detailed in Senate Bill 41, is a bit different than the situation in Juneau last
year, Bolger explained after his speech. In both Valdez and Homer, there is only one judge, he said. District Court judges can’t handle all cases, but Superior Court judges can, he explained, and said during his speech that sometimes Superior Court judges have to be flown in to rural communities to adjudicate felonies. The Legislature still has to approve the bill. Switching these two judgeships to Superior Court positions would allow them to have “general jurisdiction,” Bolger explained in an interview, and would make them more versatile for these smaller communities. “It only makes sense in a rural area to have a judge of general jurisdiction,” Bolger said, “and the reason it came up was that we have these two openings right now and we just as well take advantage of it to correct this mistake.”
“I just think it’s important that our code reflect appropriately and our state statute does actually reference municipalities on how they can bring (whistleblower policies) into their code and I think it’s important we bring it to our level,” Cooper said. Assembly member Norm Blakeley moved to table the ordinance until current liti-
gation against the borough ceased. Blakeley did not specify which lawsuit he was referring to, however, the borough and Mayor Charlie Pierce were recently sued by the borough’s former human resources director, Sandra Brown, who alleged she experienced disability discrimination. “I would think under the
present situation with the litigation — if we could postpone this and maybe even turn some of it over to our state representatives and get the state to do this…” Blakeley said. The policy will be added to the borough code, but it will not be a part of required training for employees, Cooper said.
fourth lowest out of 34 years, be about 20 percent, or 4,000 fish, larger than 2018 preliminary estimates of 17,571 large fish, and be about half of the 1986 to 2018 average of about 44,000 large fish. Last year, the department forecasted about 21,503 fish, while the Kenai River actually saw about 17,571 large fish — meaning that the Kenai River saw about 20 percent fewer fish. The department has already responded to the poor outlook, restricting Kenai River early-run king salmon to catch and release only. The department said that the restrictions are being implemented in hopes of protecting returning king salmon and ensuring fishing opportu-
nities in the future. Restrictions in the Kenai River drainage downstream of the Skilak Lake outlet will run from May 1 to July 31. From May 1 to June 30, no king salmon of any size can be retained from the mouth of the Kenai River upstream to the outlet of Skilak Lake. Starting July 1, anglers will be able to retain king salmon from the mouth of the Kenai River up to a Fish & Game marker located about 300 yards downstream from Slikok Creek. Anglers may also use bait in this section, but only on a single hook lure or fly. Fishing will remain catch and release from the marker up to the Skilak Lake outlet. “In an effort to protect our
king salmon fishery resources, which are important to anglers and our fishery managers, and ensure our fishery management is consistent with the regulatory management plan, the early king salmon run on the Kenai River is restricted to non-retention in an effort to meet our 2019 early-run escapement goal,” stated Area Management Biologist Colton Lipka. “Anglers have noticed that the Kenai River king salmon and other king salmon stocks throughout Cook Inlet are experiencing an extended period of low productivity and restricting the fishery preseason is warranted.” Reach Kat Sorensen at ksorensen@peninsulaclarion. com.

islative approval and it’s important to have a functioning board as that process plays out. State Commerce Commissioner Julie Anderson has said that Dunleavy intends to propose transferring the board’s responsibilities to the commissioner. Further details on what Dunleavy is planning are expected when he introduces the repeal legislation, Shuckerow said. Other states handle cannabis regulation at the agency level, and Chris Lindsey, senior legislative counsel with
the Marijuana Policy Project, said as long as the agency has a clear mandate and supports the program, everything should be fine. But Stiver’s appointment has fueled uncertainty in the industry, so a proposal like this has left people to “kind of look for the conspiracy,” Lindsey said. The appointment “calls into question everything that the governor might be trying to do now,” he said. Stiver and Lt. Christopher Jaime, an Alaska Wildlife Trooper appointed to the
board’s public safety seat, are subject to legislative confirmation. Shuckerow has said Dunleavy believes Stiver would bring a valuable perspective to the board. Jaime was said to be out of state and did not attend Wednesday’s meeting. The director of the Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office mentioned Dunleavy’s proposal to repeal the board in her report, but the board itself did not delve into the topic. Lacy Wilcox, who serves on the board of the Alaska Marijuana Industry Asso-
ciation, said Dunleavy should meet with the industry. She worries the public process that has surrounded rule-making so far could be eroded if the board is repealed. She and others have raised concerns with language in one of Dunleavy’s crime bills they say would make it a felony to possess 25 or more cannabis plants, which they argue could affect legal growers. Department of Law spokeswoman Cori Mills has said the provision was not aimed at growers operating under the
state’s regulated industry and that the administration is open to clarifying the language. Chase Griffith, who has retail and growing facilities on the Kenai Peninsula, said he’s been confused by Dunleavy’s actions and wants to hear from him. “We just need to see the details and actually hear his true intent on the cannabis industry in Alaska,” he said, adding later: “I just want him to publicly say how he stands on cannabis because I haven’t heard that myself.”
preschool and will soon be working her way through the public school system. “We’re looking at catastrophic cuts to education,” Kloster said. “Being a parent and having a 3-year-old, going through and realizing there’s no pre-K funding and looking at classroom sizes that could be 40 or more, and it’s just not the kind of education system I want to see for Alaska.” Additionally, the two talked about proposals that could send up to 500 inmates out of state, and reduce spending on health and social services, senior citizen services and rural support.
Less spending on rural communities would disproportionately affect Alaska Native villages, Medicine Crow said. Kloster and Medicine Crow particularly highlighted a proposal that would allow the general fund to absorb the Power Cost Equalization fund, which helps subsidize the cost of power for residents of rural communities. “Once they get it into that pool (the general fund), they get to decide however they want to spend it on whatever they want to spend it on, which means they don’t have to spend it on PCE,” Medi-
cine Crow said. Reduced spending on village public safety officers was also discussed. “Our communities across Alaska deserve equitable public safety, and we haven’t had it,” Medicine Crow said. “To see a proposal that cuts our VPSO program more than it already has been is troubling and concerning, and it signals to us we have a lot more education to do in this area, so people understand that when you cut our VPSO program you’re going to further cause harm to rural Alaska.” During a brief question and answer section after about 40 minutes of talk-
ing, some audience members shared their concerns, too. Melanie Brown, a Juneau resident whose ancestry goes back to Bristol Bay, said a proposal to landing and business taxes on fisheries away from cities and boroughs stands out to her. “It just made my mind explode with a picture of my mother’s home community just dying,” Brown said. She questioned why Alaska does not have an income tax and said she understood it may be cumbersome for many, but often times mining, oil and tourism industry employees are taking income out of the state.
“We as Alaskans have to realize how much income leaves our state,” Brown said. Mary Marks, a Juneau resident, said she was troubled by the proposed budget — specifically cuts to education funding — and encouraged Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian people to unify in the face of whatever challenges may come up. “It should cause us to come together as a unified Alaska Native people,” Marks said. “This is an opportunity to really voice our concerns and stand firm because our education is important, our ferry system is important, our tribal resources are important to us.”
character of Peter Pan, Gilman opted to utilize an actress to play a boy since the portrayal was so strong. “Clare was so easy to latch onto as compared to the others,” Gilman said. “Nothing about the play rules that it has to be a boy.” Shirnberg also credited the hard work from the Kenai Central High School production crew, which installed new LED lights and projec-
tions on the back screen, which will project four separate background scenes. Overall, Shirnberg said the large cast pulls together to portray over a dozen characters — not including the 24 Oompa-Loompa characters. “The cast makes it phenomenal,” Shirnberg said. “The cast is what makes it special.” For the titular role of Willy Wonka, Shirnberg said the production was looking for someone who could project the majesty and fantasy of such an eccentric character. That’s where the Kenai Performers enlisted Soldotna actor Spencer McAuliffe, who plays Wonka. McAuliffe, 30, who ma-
jored in vocal performance at George Fox University and the University of Alaska Fairbanks, has been performing for nearly 20 years and has around two dozen shows under his belt. McAuliffe said playing the Wonka role has challenged him to bring out his most vibrant skills that will truly bring the character to life while adding his own flair. “It’s a blast,” McAuliffe said. “You want to give them the expectation of who Willy is, but also make it who you are. It’s definitely not typical Willy Wonka. It’s much more demanding vocally.” McAuliffe’s acting experience is mirrored by fellow Wonka star Ian McEwen,
or Mr. Salt, the enterprising father of Veruca Salt in the production. McEwen is in his ninth year with the Kenai Performers and has at least a decade total of experience. McEwen said his role as Mr. Salt has allowed him to entirely let loose for a rambunctious character. “I don’t have to worry about going over the top,” McEwen said. “Mr. Salt’s a caricature. “It’s like a cross between Foghorn Leghorn and Cal Worthington.” McEwen said working with the younger cast like Henry is particularly gratifying as the youth movement has injected energy and enthusiasm into the show.
“Working with kids can be challenging, but not in this case,” he said. “They’re all very sweet, hardworking, but they’re not like their characters, who are often rude and bratty.”

impact their lives. Medicine Crow said she has an aunt who cannot fly but needs to travel to receive medical care, so she is wary of reduced funding for the Alaska Marine Highway System. “If there’s no ferry for her to catch, how is she going to access the kind of medical care she needs?” Medicine Crow asked.

What Others Say
Military intervention in Venezuela would be the wrong move While facing sharp criticism
nationwide, including lawsuits from 16 states, for declaring a national emergency over money to build a border wall, President Trump, of course, spent Presidents Day in friendly territory: He came to Miami-Dade and a packed Florida International University arena to show support for Venezuelans, but also Cubans and Nicarguans who support his administration’s efforts to apply more political pressure to end the illegitimate regime of Nicolás Maduro and throw support to Juan Guaido as the South American country’s interim leader. Trump found a warm reception in the city of refugees from dictatorships and political unrest — and rightly so. Trump deserves credit for being the only president since Ronald Reagan to take a hard stand against dictators in Latin America, a region often forgotten by administrations. But more important, Trump may have given the thousands gathered a preview of his 2020 reelection campaign battle cry. Going after undocumented immigrants, as he touted as a 2016 campaign promise, is a perennial rant for the the president. So he’s now targeting old-school socialism and communism. “America will never be a socialist country,” Trump preached to the choir highlighting the troubles that have plagued Venezuela since it went down that road under late leader Hugo Chávez. Such statements hark back to America’s past glories, much like Trump’s State of the Union address where he made numerous mentions of World War II. But Monday, in the context of Venezuela, Trump spoke directly to Maduro and his military. The Trump administration is hoping to step up international pressure on the dictator, who’s blocking at the Colombia border millions of dollars in humanitarian aid from entering his country. Sen Marco Rubio, who has taken a leadership role in the Venezuelan effort, and U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart flew to the Colombia-Venezuela border over the weekend to attract international attention to the blockaded food and medicine. Maduro is being given until Saturday to allow the goods in. The unspoken plan is that if the aid gets in, the Venezuelan people, who are experiencing tremendous shortages, may welcome it enough to turn on Maduro. The Venezuelan military must now turn its back on Maduro and allow aid to enter Venezuela, the president, senator and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis all said. “You must not block this humanitarian aid,” Trump said. “We seek a peaceful transition of power. But all options are open. If you choose this path, you will find no safe harbor, no easy exit and no way out. You’ll lose everything.” Such talk attracted opposing demonstrators to FIU who demanded that the United States keep out of Venezuela and opposed any U.S. military action there. And the Editorial Board is in agreement with them. U.S. military action is just the wrong, and deadly, action to take when Venezuelans themselves already are taking matters into their own hands — Guaido’s takeover being the biggest first step. The U.S.’ unending thirst for oil must not supersede Venezuelans’ desire to do for themselves. Trump, so far, has deftly navigated our involvement in Venezuela. He can continue to do so without the threat, or folly, of military intrusion. — Miami Herald, Feb. 18
Back to Munich with Obama’s Iran deal
“There are none so blind as those who will not see.” One might think that after denying the evidence of Adolf Hitler’s rise and objectives that resulted in World War II, Europeans might be more attuned to modern threats. Last week on a visit to Munich (oh, the irony), Vice President Mike Pence criticized Europe’s continued support of the Iran nuclear deal from which President Trump has withdrawn. According to BBC.com, under the deal, which was never ratified by the Senate, “Iran agreed to limit its sensitive nuclear activities and allow in international inspectors in return for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions.” And why didn’t the Senate ratify the Iran deal? Because, writes National Review, it was “…deliberately negotiated by the Obama administration in a way that enabled it to evade the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that treaties be ratified by the Senate.” Pence said, “The time has come for our European partners to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.” He called Iran a “murderous regime” and “the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world.” Speaking at the same gathering, German Chancellor Angela Merkel sounded as if she was channeling the late British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain when she acknowledged Iran’s military buildup and the threat it poses to Europe and the world. In spite of those known facts, Merkel, like Chamberlain, remains in denial. Merkel said, “I see the ballistic mis-
sile programs, I see Iran in Yemen and above all I see Iran in Syria. The only question that stands between us on this issue is, do we help our common cause, Cal Thomas our common aim of containing the damaging or difficult development of Iran, by withdrawing from the one remaining agreement? Or do we help it more by keeping the small anchor we have in order maybe to exert pressure in other areas?” This takes wishful thinking to an entirely new level. Better to help the younger Iranians who hate the regime to topple it as the U.S. is doing in Venezuela. How can Merkel acknowledge the threat that Iran represents and in the next breath diminish it? Not surprisingly those assembled, many of whom believe as Merkel does, gave her remarks thunderous applause. The flaw in this thinking — and in the Munich Agreement, the 1938 settlement reached by Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy that permitted German annexation of the Sudetenland, which led to World War II — is that Westerners too often impose our morality on those who are evil. Evil should not and cannot be accommodated, or “contained.” Evil must be crushed and eliminated. Imagine if the policy of the United States and
Britain had been to contain Hitler and his Nazi regime instead of defeating it. For decades, containment of the Soviet Union was the policy of the United States (authored by the U.S. diplomat George F. Kennan) until Ronald Reagan had a better idea. His goal was to eliminate “the evil empire” of Soviet communism. Students of Scripture will recall God’s admonitions to the Israelites: “You must purge the evil from among you.” Deuteronomy 13:5 is one of many such commands in both Testaments. Purging evil is not easy and requires a choice. It may be more difficult at the start, but if delayed it becomes costlier in lives and the destruction of property on the back end. In her speech, Merkel defended and promoted the importance of a multilateral approach to global affairs. Under the right circumstances and with the right policies, multilateralism can work, but not when proponents of a multilateral approach to serious problems choose to play down the threat before them. World War II should have taught Merkel and the rest of Europe a lesson about denial. One hopes it won’t take another disaster with many more deaths caused by Iranian nuclear weapons to show those who survive how mistaken they were.

Analysis
Sanders may not need 2016 magic to be 2020 force By STEVE PEOPLES AP National Political Writer
NEW YORK — Can Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders recapture the magic that fueled his first presidential campaign? To win the nomination, he may not need to. As Sanders, a 77-year-old self-described democratic socialist, formally launches his 2020 campaign, the lessons of President Donald Trump’s victory in the GOP’s packed 2016 contest loom large. With better-established Republican contenders dividing the GOP primary vote that year, Trump began racking up primary victories with 30 to 40 percent of each state’s vote. He captured his party’s nomination even as six or seven of every 10 primary voters backed another Republican candidate. Sanders’ team is betting that the bar for victory in the more-crowded 2020 Democratic field could be even lower. That simple math — and an extraordinary small-dollar fundraising operation — suggests that Sanders is poised to maintain his status as a political force in 2020 whether most of his party wants him to or not. Sanders is showing no desire to change his approach to broaden his appeal, as is sometimes the case with ambitious second-time candidates. Nina Turner, president of Our Revolution, the political arm of Sanders’ expansive network, said the 2020 campaign “is really about him finishing what he started.” In a political world in which windows of opportunity rarely stay open long, it’s possible that Sanders’ moment may have
passed. In 2016, he was the sole option for anti-establishment Democrats who didn’t support Hillary Clinton. Today, Democrats are sorting through a far more diverse field that could ultimately exceed two dozen high-profile contenders. Many of them — and there are exceptions — have adopted Sanders’ far-left policy priorities and anti-establishment rhetoric. Signs of erosion are easy to find. While many grassroots activists cheered Sanders’ decision, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another self-described democratic socialist and a worker for Sanders’ first presidential campaign, remained silent. “We’re excited to see so many progressives in the race,” Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent said, declining to address Sanders’ big announcement directly. “We’re not thinking at all about the next election.” Sanders enters a field that already includes progressive favorites like Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and California Sen. Kamala Harris. They have adopted much of Sanders’ agenda to provide free universal health care, free college tuition and a $15 minimum wage. Still unknown is whether former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke or former Vice President Joe Biden will join the race, two prospects who could peel away some of Sanders’ base of support beyond the ultra-liberal wing of the party. At the same time, Sanders has little hope of winning over many establishment-minded former Clinton supporters, still bitter from their perception that
he didn’t work hard enough to defeat Trump once Clinton captured the Democratic nomination. “Amazing how Bernie and his 3,708,294 fewer supporters squandered two years. They quadrupled down on their rigging rant and now there are 10 alternatives,” longtime Clinton adviser Philippe Reines tweeted. “Get ready to Feel the Fizzle.” But it is Sanders’ consistency that has endeared him to a passionate base of liberal activists across the country who remain deeply loyal to him and his decadeslong fight for income equality and universal health care. Some of his competitors — particularly Warren and Harris — have also developed nationwide followings, but no one starts out with the same kind of fundraising appeal or organized network of like-minded groups such as Our Revolution, Justice Democrats and the Democratic Socialists of America. “We’re more powerful than ever in the politics. We changed the game,” said 28-year-old Moumita Ahmed, the co-founder of Millennials Want Bernie 2020. “Bernie Sanders is still the only candidate that’s not the status quo.” Anticipating Sanders’ decision, her organization had already organized chapters in Michigan, California, Nevada, New York, South Carolina and Washington state. She also donated $27 to Sanders on Tuesday, matching the often-touted average donation that fueled his first run. Overall, Sanders raised more than $4 million from nearly 150,000 individual donors in the first 12 hours after launching his 2020 bid, his campaign said Tuesday.

Dems’ measure blocking Trump will come Friday

WASHINGTON — House Democrats will file a resolution Friday aimed at blocking the national emergency declaration that President Donald Trump has issued to help finance his wall along the Southwest border, teeing up a clash over billions of dollars, immigration policy and the
Constitution’s separation of powers. That could set up a vote by the full House by midMarch, if not sooner. The battle is over a declaration that Trump, whose border wall was the most visible trademark of his presidential campaign, is using to try spending billions of dollars beyond what Congress has authorized to start building border barriers.
Passage by the Democratic-run House seems likely. The measure would then move to the Republican-controlled Senate, where there may be enough GOP defections for approval. Trump has promised to veto the measure. It seems unlikely Congress could muster the two-thirds majorities in each chamber needed to override a veto. Aides to Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, were circulating a letter Wednesday to other congressional offices seeking additional co-sponsors to his one-page resolution. “We are planning to introduce it on Friday morning,” said the letter, which was obtained by The Associated Press. Castro’s measure, which described Trump’s emergency declaration, says it “is hereby terminated.” Castro chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Congress approved a vast spending bill last week providing nearly $1.4 bil-
lion to build 55 miles of border barriers in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley while preventing a renewed government shutdown. That measure represented a rejection of Trump’s demand for $5.7 billion to construct more than 200 miles. Besides signing the bill, Trump also declared a national emergency that he says gives him access to an additional $6.6 billion that would be taken from a federal asset forfeiture fund, Defense Department antidrug efforts and military construction projects. Democrats and some Republicans say there is no emergency at the border and say Trump is improperly declaring one to work around Congress’ rejection of the higher amounts. The plan for introducing the resolution was initially described by officials at three progressive groups who heard of them from congressional aides but were not authorized to discuss the plans privately.
Coast Guard lieutenant compiled hit list of lawmakers By MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A Coast Guard lieutenant who was arrested last week is a “domestic terrorist” who drafted an email discussing biological attacks and had what appeared to be a hit list that included prominent Democrats and media figures, prosecutors said in court papers. Christopher Paul Hasson is due to appear Thursday in federal court in Maryland after his arrest on gun and drug offenses, but prosecutors say those charges are the “proverbial tip of the iceberg.” “The defendant is a domestic terrorist, bent on committing acts dangerous to human life that are intended to affect governmental conduct,” prosecutors wrote in court papers . Hasson, who works at the Coast Guard’s headquarters in Washington, has espoused extremist views for years, according to prosecutors. Court papers detail a June 2017 draft email in which Hasson wrote that he was “dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on the earth,” and pondering how he might be able to acquire anthrax and toxins to create botulism or a deadly influenza. In the same email, Hasson described an “interesting idea” that included “biological attacks followed by attack on food supply”

as well as a bombing and sniper attacks, according to court documents filed by prosecutors. In September 2017, Hasson sent himself a draft letter that he had written to a neo-Nazi leader and “identified himself as a White Nationalist for over 30 years and advocated for ‘focused violence’ in order to establish a white homeland,” prosecutors wrote. Hasson routinely read portions of a manifesto written by Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik that prosecutors said instructs would-be assailants to collect firearms, food, disguises and survival tools, court papers said. Breivik, a right-wing extremist, is serving a 21year sentence for killing 77 people in a 2011 bomband-shooting rampage. Prosecutors allege that
Hasson visited thousands of websites that sold guns and researched military tactical manuals on improvised munitions. Federal agents found 15 firearms — including several rifles — and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition inside Hasson’s basement apartment in Silver Spring, Maryland. They also found a container with more than 30 bottles that were labeled as human growth hormone, court papers said. Prosecutors wrote that Hasson “began the process of targeting specific victims,” including several prominent Democrats in Congress and 2020 presidential candidates. In February 2018, he searched the internet for the “most liberal senators,” as well as searching “do senators have ss (secret service) protection” and “are supreme
court justices protected,” according to the court filing. Hasson’s list of prominent Democrats included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and presidential hopefuls Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris. The list — created in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet — also included mentions of John Podesta, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, along with Reps. Beto O’Rourke, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Maxine Waters, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and Joe Scarborough and CNN’s Chris Cuomo and Van Jones, according to the court filing. Hasson appeared to be a chronic user of the opioid painkiller Tramadol and had purchased a flask filled with four ounces of “synthetic urine” online, prosecutors said. Authorities suspect Hasson had purchased fake urine to use in case he was randomly selected for a drug test. The chief at the federal defender’s office in Maryland — which is representing Hasson — declined to comment on the allegations. The Coast Guard did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Hasson’s arrest. No one answered the door Wednesday at the home address for Hasson listed in public records.
US says Alabama woman who joined Islamic State can’t return By MATTHEW LEE and JAY REEVES Associated Press
WASHINGTON — An Alabama woman who left home to join the Islamic State group in Syria is not a U.S. citizen and will not be allowed to return to the United States, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday. In a brief statement that gave no details as to how the determination was reached, Pompeo said Hoda Muthana, who says she made a mistake in joining the group and now wants to return with her 18-monthold son, has no “legal basis” to claim American citizenship. “Ms. Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen and will not be admitted into the United States,” Pompeo said. “She does not have any legal basis, no valid U.S. passport, no right to a passport nor any visa to travel to the United States.” Muthana’s status had been considered by lawyers from the departments of State and Justice since her case arose, according to one
U.S. official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The official would not elaborate but said Pompeo’s statement was based on the lawyers’ conclusions. An attorney for the woman’s family, Hassan Shibly, said the administration’s position is based on a “complicated” interpretation of the law involving her father. “They’re claiming her dad was a diplomat when she was born, which, in fact, he wasn’t,” Shibly told The Associated Press. Muthana was born in 1994 in Hackensack, New Jersey, the lawyer said. Most people born in the United States are accorded so-called birthright citizenship but there are exceptions. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a person born in the U.S. to a foreign diplomatic officer is not subject to U.S. law and is not automatically considered a U.S. citizen at birth. The 24-year-old, who joined the Islamic State after becoming radicalized,
says she regrets aligning herself with the terrorist organization and wants to return to the United States, Shibly said on Tuesday. He said Muthana is putting herself at risk by speaking out against ISIS from a refugee camp where she has lived since fleeing the group a few weeks ago. Muthana, who dodged sniper fire and roadside bombs to escape, is ready to pay the penalty for her actions but wants freedom and safety for the son she had with one of two IS fighters she wed, he said. Both men were killed in combat. In a handwritten letter released by Shibly, Muthana wrote that she made “a big mistake” by rejecting her family and friends in the United States to join the Islamic State. “During my years in Syria I would see and experience a way of life and the terrible effects of war which changed me,” she wrote. After fleeing her home in suburban Birmingham in late 2014 and resurfacing in Syria, Muthana used social

media to advocate violence against the United States. In the letter, Muthana wrote that she didn’t understand the importance of freedoms provided by the United States at the time. “To say that I regret my past words, any pain that I caused my family and any concerns I would cause my country would be hard for me to really express properly,” said the letter.
Around the World Netanyahu strikes election deal with far-right parties JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday reached a preliminary election deal with two fringe religious-nationalist parties in a bid to unify his hard-line bloc ahead of April elections. Netanyahu’s Likud party announced it would reserve the 28th spot on its parliamentary list for the Jewish Home party and grant it two Cabinet ministries in a future government if it merges with the Jewish Power party. Jewish Power is comprised of hard-line religious nationalists who have cast themselves as successors to the banned Kahanist movement, which dreamed of turning Israel into a Jewish theocracy and advocated forced removal of its Palestinians. Recent polls project Likud winning about 30 of Parliament’s 120 seats, while Jewish Home and Jewish Power may not have enough support to enter Parliament on their own. Together, the two small parties would likely cross the electoral threshold and capture several parliamentary seats. The Jewish Home party sealed the deal in a committee vote on Wednesday, a day before parties running the April 9 parliamentary election must finalize their lineups. Among the prominent figures in the joint Jewish Home-Jewish Power list are Bezalel Smotrich, a selfavowed “proud homophobe,” Itamar Ben Gvir, an attorney who has made a career defending radical Israeli settlers implicated in West Bank violence, and Benzi Gopstein, leader of an extremist anti-assimilation group whose Twitter handle translates to “Kahane was right.” The late American-born Rabbi Meir Kahane’s Jewish Defence League is considered a terrorist organization by the FBI. Ben Gvir, a member of Jewish Power, said that his faction “put personal honour aside” to prevent Netanyahu’s main election rival from forming a government. Netanyahu’s gambit drew criticism from opposition politicians. Labor Party leader Avi Gabbay called the move “bankruptcy” of the Likud party’s values. Benny Gantz, a former army chief who is Netanyahu’s main challenger, criticized the prime minister’s courting of extremists. His Israeli Resilience party said: “Netanyahu lost touch with his Zionism and with his dignity.” Netanyahu’s move to unite right-wing nationalist parties ahead of Thursday’s party list deadline was one of several last-minute negotiations across the spectrum to form broader blocs.
Commodities giant Glencore to cap coal output over climate BERLIN — Commodities giant Glencore said Wednesday it will cap how much coal it mines amid shareholder pressure for it to help reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases. The move is a sharp reversal for a company that has long championed the extraction and burning of fossil fuels, and which recently announced the purchase of further stakes in two Australian coal mines even as rivals pulled out amid climate concerns. Glencore said the decision was taken after consulting with investors, known as the Climate Action 100+ initiative, who have clubbed together to lobby for corporate action against climate change. “As one of the world’s largest diversified mining companies, we have a key role in enabling transition to a low carbon economy,” the Switzerland-based company said. Burning coal for heat and electricity is a major source of carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to man-made global warming. Glencore said it will prioritize future investments to increase production of commodities “essential to the energy and mobility transition and to limit our coal production capacity broadly to current levels.” The company projects its global coal output this year will be 145 million metric tons. Noting “the increasing risks posed by climate change,” Glencore explicitly referenced the 2015 Paris climate accord, which set a target of keeping global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century compared with pre-industrial levels. But it also cited a United Nations goal of ensuring millions of people in the developing world get access to affordable fuel, which coal mining companies have frequently said justifies their remaining in operation. Carbon Tracker, a think tank that analyses fossil fuel investments, cautioned patience in apprising the impact of Glencore’s announcement and of energy giant BP’s recent pledge to release more information on its climate impact. “The devil will be in the detail, and the extent to which these developments will actually drive changes in business models is yet to be seen,” said Andrew Grant, a senior analyst with the London-based group said.
16 killed in attack by suspected herdsmen in Nigeria WARRI, Nigeria — An official in the central Nigerian state of Benue says 16 people have been killed in an attack apparently staged by herdsmen. Wednesday’s bloodshed comes three days before Nigeria’s election, in which President Muhammadu Buhari is seeking a second term. Buhari has been accused by some of failing to effectively respond to violence between farmers and herdsmen that has killed thousands of people in recent years. The Benue governor’s spokesman, Iterver Akase, says the latest attack occurred in the Ebete community of Agatu. The commander of an army task force in the region, Gen. Adeyemi Yekini, says more patrol teams have been sent to the community to “restore peace and verify what really happened.” Insecurity in parts of Nigeria threatens to keep some voters away from the polls Saturday. — The Associated Press

State ski teams head north in search of glory SoHi, Kenai Central, Homer eye strong finish to ski season By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
The 2019 high school nordic ski season all comes down to three furious days of racing, beginning today at the Alaska School Activities Association state meet at Birch Hill Ski Area in Fairbanks, and peninsula teams are setting their sights high. The championship meet starts today with classic technique races in interval-start format. The boys race 7.5 kilometers while the girls go 5K. The wick will be turned up Friday with mass-start freestyle races, as the boys tackle a 10K course and the girls race for 7.5K. It all comes to a head Saturday with the relay races, with boys teams taking on a 4-by-5K event and girls teams facing a 4-by3K race. Both relays will feature classic-classic-skate-skate leg formats. The races will also be streamed live on the Lathrop Activities Facebook page. Hosting the ASAA state meet for a second straight year, Birch Hill is a punishing trail system that rewards those that have a
knack for climbing. Friday’s boys 10K skate race features over 1,000 feet of climbing, but for teams familiar with Soldotna’s Tsalteshi Trails, it will be home cooking. “Birch Hill is a reat place to race, we like coming here,” said Soldotna co-head coach Dan Harbison. “A lot of (peninsula skiers) have been here before and they’ve been skiing Besh Cup too. It’s just how they approach races up here, everything is covered and done really well.” A three-day schedule of races will suck the energy out of even the strongest skier, but in Fairbanks, there is also the cold to contend with. Lows for tonight and Friday are expected to drop well into the sub-zero range, which naturally draws the moisture out of snow and creates a dry friction with skis. To skiers, cold means slow and draggy. For Harbison, that means close competition. Less than three minutes separated first from fourth in the girls team race at the Region III meet in Palmer two weeks ago. The Homer girls finished just 2 min-
utes, 52 seconds, behind team champions Palmer after two days of racing, and the SoHi girls were less than two minutes behind but ended up third. The boys scrap for the team title was so close, it took one turn of fate to decide who won. Soldotna senior Jeremy Kupferschmid was a contender to win the individual crown but snapped a pole in half early in one of the races and had to limp with just one pole for over two kilometers. Once the dust settled, the top three boys teams were separated by just 23 seconds, with the Soldotna Stars finishing runner-up by eight seconds to Colony. Kupferschmid and teammate Bradley Walters both helped the SoHi boys to a dominant relay victory last Saturday at the Kenai Peninsula Borough championships at Tsalteshi, and both said they are targeting top-20 results in the state Skimeister race. The Skimeister award goes to the fastest boys and girls skier in the state after Thursday and Friday’s combined times. Harbison added teammate Jack Harris to that list as well. See STATE, page A8

DURHAM, N.C. — Zion Williamson blew out his shoe, and then No. 8 North Carolina blew out top-ranked Duke. Luke Maye took full advantage of a freak injury to the freshman sensation, finishing with 30 points and 15 rebounds to help the Tar Heels rout Duke 88-72 on Wednesday night. “Obviously, you lose a national player of the year candidate,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said, “there are going to be gaps of what you have to do.” A star-studded crowd that included former President Barack Obama, Spike Lee and Hall of Fame outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. packed into Cameron looking for another highlight-filled show from Williamson — arguably the most exciting player in college basketball. But the Atlantic Coast Conference’s second-leading scorer sprained his right knee during the Blue Devils’ opening possession. “It was just a shock for us,” Duke forward Cameron Reddish said. “Obviously, we’re used to playing with him, so playing without him was very difficult. We missed him today.” Williamson grabbed the knee in pain after slipping awkwardly and falling when his left Nike shoe fell apart as he planted hard while dribbling near the free throw line. The blue rubber sole ripped loose from the white shoe from the heel to the toes along the outside edge, with Williamson’s foot coming all

the way through the large gap. Nike said in a statement that it was “concerned” and wished Williamson a speedy recovery. It said it was “working to identify the issue.” Coach Mike Krzyzewski classified the injury as a mild sprain, but didn’t know how much time Williamson will miss. Cameron Johnson added 26 points and Garrison Brooks had 14 for the Tar Heels (21-5, 11-2). By winning their ninth in 10 games and beating a top-ranked team for the
first time since 2013, they pulled into a first-place tie with the Blue Devils (23-3, 11-2).

The 2017 Kenai Central grad has since tallied hits in four of his last six games, all extra-base knocks. It has helped the sophomore to a .313 average and a .625 slugging percentage in 2019 thus far. Last season, Steffensen strung together a 26-game hitting streak, believed to be the longest for an Alaskan player at the collegiate level, according to the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame blog.

Harrison signs 1-year deal with Tigers DETROIT (AP) — Free agent Josh Harrison has agreed to a one-year deal with the Detroit Tigers, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the deal was still subject to a successful physical. The 31-year-old Harrison spent his first eight major league seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He’s played second base, third base, shortstop and in the outfield. Harrison did not have a great 2018 at the plate, hitting .250 with eight home runs and 37 RBIs. He missed time early in the season with a hand injury and ended up playing just 97 games. The Tigers could end up replicating Pittsburgh’s upthe-middle-combination of Harrison and shortstop Jordy Mercer, who signed with Detroit earlier in the offseason . Harrison hit a career-high 16 home runs in 2017, and he batted .315 in 2014, but he’s never played more than 143 games in a season. If he plays well for Detroit, the rebuilding Tigers may be able to trade him for a prospect or two.
Browns sign WR Strong CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns boosted their wide receiving group by signing Jaelen Strong, who missed last season with a knee injury. A former third-round pick, Strong sat out 2018 after tearing a knee ligament late in the 2017 season with Jacksonville. The 25-year-old has made three starts and played in 20 NFL games with Houston and the Jaguars. The 6oot-2, 220-pounder has 31 career catches for 330 yards and four touchdowns. Strong, who played at Arizona State, was waived by the Texans two years ago and signed with Jaguars. Coming off a 7-8-1 season, the Browns planned to add to their receiving depth this offseason for quarterback Baker Mayfield. Strong joins, Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway, Damion Ratley and Derrick Willies on the roster.
Bruins acquire Coyle from Wild The Boston Bruins acquired center Charlie Coyle from the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday night for center Ryan Donato and a conditional fifth-round pick that would become a fourth-round choice if the Bruins win a playoff round.

Today in History Today is Thursday, Feb. 21, the 52nd day of 2019. There are 313 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 21, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon began his historic visit to China as he and his wife, Pat, arrived in Beijing. On this date: In 1613, Mikhail Romanov, 16, was unanimously chosen by Russia’s national assembly to be czar, beginning a dynasty that would last three centuries. In 1911, composer Gustav Mahler, despite a fever, conducted the New York Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall in what turned out to be his final concert (he died the following May). In 1916, the World War I Battle of Verdun began in France as German forces attacked; the French were able to prevail after 10 months of fighting. In 1945, during the World War II Battle of Iwo Jima, the escort carrier USS Bismarck Sea was sunk by kamikazes with the loss of 318 men. In 1958, the USS Gudgeon (SS-567) became the first American submarine to complete a round-the-world cruise, eight months after departing from Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. In 1965, black Muslim leader and civil rights activist Malcolm X, 39, was shot to death inside Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom in New York by assassins identified as members of the Nation of Islam. (Three men were convicted of murder and imprisoned; all were eventually paroled.) In 1973, Israeli fighter planes shot down Libyan Arab Airlines Flight 114 over the Sinai Desert, killing all but five of the 113 people on board. In 1975, former Attorney General John N. Mitchell and former White House aides H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman were sentenced to 2 1/2 to 8 years in prison for their roles in the Watergate cover-up (each ended up serving a year and a-half). In 1986, Larry Wu-tai Chin, the first American found guilty of spying for China, killed himself in his Virginia jail cell. In 1992, Kristi Yamaguchi (yah-mah-GOO’-chee) of the United States won the gold medal in ladies’ figure skating at the Albertville Olympics; Midori Ito (mee-doh-ree ee-toh) of Japan won the silver, Nancy Kerrigan of the U.S., the bronze. In 2000, Consumer advocate Ralph Nader announced his entry into the presidential race, bidding for the nomination of the Green Party. In 2013, Drew Peterson, the Chicago-area police officer who gained notoriety after his much-younger fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, vanished in 2007, was sentenced to 38 years in prison for murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Ten years ago: In a last full day of talks in Asia, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton stressed American and Chinese cooperation on the economy and climate change. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul to discuss the ongoing American strategic review of the U.S. mission in Afghanistan. Five years ago: President Barack Obama granted an audience to Tibet’s Dalai Lama over the strong objections from China that the U.S. was meddling it its affairs. Matteo Renzi formed a coalition government in Italy; at 39, he became the country’s youngest premier ever. At age 18, Mikaela Shiffrin of the U.S. made Alpine skiing history as the youngest ever winner of an Olympic slalom gold medal, finishing 0.53 seconds faster than Austrian Marlies Schild. One year ago: The Rev. Billy Graham, a confidant of presidents and the most widely heard Christian evangelist in history, died at his North Carolina home; he was 99. A week after the Florida school shooting, President Donald Trump met with teen survivors of school violence and parents of slain children; Trump promised to be “very strong on background checks” and suggested he supported letting some teachers and other school employees carry weapons. Thousands of protesters swarmed the Florida state Capitol, calling for changes to gun laws, a ban on assault-type weapons and improved care for the mentally ill. The NBA fined Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban $600,000 for saying he had recently told some of his players that “losing is our best option.” (The Mavericks had one of the league’s worst records, putting them in position to land a high draft pick.) Today’s Birthdays: Former Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe (moo-GAH’-bay) is 95. Movie director Bob Rafelson is 86. Actor Gary Lockwood is 82. Actor-director Richard Beymer is 80. Actor Peter McEnery is 79. U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., is 79. Film/music company executive David Geffen is 76. Actress Tyne Daly is 73. Actor Anthony Daniels is 73. Tricia Nixon Cox is 73.

Strength through weaving BY BEN HOHENSTATT CAPITAL CITY WEEKLY
Lily Hope and her family are continuing her mother’s work for an important cause. The daughter of late acclaimed Chilkat and Ravenstail weaver Clarissa Rizal, Hope is an award-winning Tlingit weaver and weaving teacher who is now leading a new project called the Giving Strength Robe. Dozens of Chilkat and Ravenstail weavers from all over North America will be weaving 5-inch-by-5-inch squares to create one traditional indigenous robe, a blanket-like garment worn over the shoulders. Once completed, the robe will be given to Aiding Women in Abuse and Rape Emergencies (AWARE), Juneau’s gender-inclusive shelter for survivors of gender-based violence. “I think (my mother) would say, ‘Doesn’t this speak to the generosity of spirit of the weaving community and the community as a whole?’” Hope said in a phone interview. “We’re all giving our time to make collaborative art with a purpose.” The project is the first effort by Spirit Uprising, a new nonprofit pursuing 501(c)(3) status that Hope
and her family started to perpetuate the ancient art of weaving. Chilkat and Ravenstail weaving are complex art forms traditionally practiced by Northwest Coast Alaska Native peoples, and make use of hand-twined textiles. Hope said she got the idea for this robe after she saw a Facebook post in a Ravenstail and Chilkat Weaving Facebook group about work dedicated to survivors of domestic violence. The purpose of the robe is to draw attention to the issue of domestic violence in Alaska, and hopefully inspire positive feelings in survivors. “We’re all touched by it,” Hope said. “It’s in our villages and communities.” She added, “We want to be bringing healing to those who may put this (robe) on their shoulders.” Hope enlisted the help of her sister Ursala Hudson and aunt Deanna Lampe to get the project going, and put the call out to artists. The response was great, she said. More than 60 weavers from all over Alaska (including artists in Juneau, Anchorage, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Klawock, Sitka, Yakutat, Kake) committed to participating. Responses came in from other states,

When you tell someone you are a writer, common follow up questions usually include “Have I heard of you?” and “Can I find your stuff on Amazon?” If you aspire to be a published author, Dr. Casey J Rudkin and her writing and life partner James Rudkin have some suggestions for plotting a path through the uncertainty that is the ever changing publishing market. Writing under the pen name JC Rudkin, they will also have a short reading from their story “Your Plaintive Cries” from the recently published The Living Pulps edited by Oscar De Los Santos.

Corner February By Bonnie Marie Playle This is the love month, a trait that acts like a sponge. Even though in Alaska, this month is cold the lower forty-eight states ooze with warmth and blooms start to unfold. The signs are Aquarius and Pisces what a compliment; The symbols are water bearer and fish and elements are air and water; all go together, what an astonishment.

The Bookwork Sez You felt like such a loser. It was a feeling that
didn’t last long – only long enough to ruin your day, until you realized that one moment isn’t forever. Nope, you’re not a loser
and in the new book “Hero Dogs” by Wilma Melville with Paul Lobo, neither are these elite canines. They started as an idea from the ashes of disaster. When Wilma Melville saw Oklahoma City’s Murrah Federal Building on that spring morning in 1995, she was stunned. Debris was everywhere, which meant that odors were, too. Her search and rescue (SAR) dog, Murphy, was capable of finding any possible survivors but as the task continued, Melville clearly saw that America needed more SAR teams. She vowed right then to train 168 SAR dogs, one for each Oklahoma Bombing victim. It wouldn’t be as easy as picking out a puppy somewhere. Melville decided that her target trainees would be unwanted former strays and rescue dogs. The nature of SAR demanded that ideal candidates be younger, in top physical shape, and have an extremely high prey drive; those that didn’t make the cut would be adopted out or trained for other work. Finally, SAR dogs had to possess an ability
to work closely with their handlers, the first of which were firemen because firemen, says Melville, completely understand the kinds of the disasters for which dogs would be deployed. Following her instincts and led by her promises, Melville found her first three trainees, “a rejected guide dog, an abused stray, and a washed-out competition dog.” She took them to a co-visionary, a woman who was “something of a legend in dog-training circles,” and within months – much faster than anyone thought possible – Ana, Dusty, and Harley passed their FEMA tests, followed by Zack and Billy, Abby and Ace, more handlers and more dogs. Melville’s brainchild, the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) was ready for any emergency. And that included September 11, 2001… Your dog knows how to sit, shake-paws, and stay when told. He might even hunt or retrieve but you ain’t seen nuthin’ until you’ve read “Hero Dogs.” And if dogs aren’t reason enough to want this book, See HERO, page A10
‘Green Book’ tells a moving story about looking past bias R eeling It In C hris J enness
This week brings one of those highly acclaimed Oscar films that somehow missed us here on the peninsula when it was originally released back in November. While it’s easy to be bitter about the fact that movies like this — movies with substance, subtlety and a lack of either explosions or animated snowmen — usually skip us, but credit where credit is due. I appreciate the opportunity to get to see “Green Book” on the big screen, even if it is a little late. Oddly, the movie released on streaming almost immediately after it came to our local theater, but if you have the chance, I’d highly encourage you to go out and see it rather than watch it on your couch. Besides the fact that the big-screen experience still outweighs even the best home system,

your ticket dollars will encourage the theaters to do more of this kind of thing — bringing us smaller, less financially certain films. More diversity in our cinematic options is always a good thing. “Green Book” tells the story of Dr. Don Shirley, classically trained pianist — one of the greatest in the world, and leader of a celebrated trio about to embark on a tour of the deep South in 1962. The one problem — though he knows very little about the everyday
lives of black people in his own country, Dr. Shirley is indeed black and a tour of the southern states could be tricky, no matter how celebrated his trio is. To assist, he hires Tony Vallalonga, aka Tony Lip, to drive him and act as his, for lack of a better word, bodyguard. Tony is a stereotypical New York Italian guy. To look at him, you’d assume, as many do, that he’s connected to the mafia, but looks can be deceiving. In fact, don’t judge a book by
its cover could be the subtitle for this movie. As Dr. Shirley and Tony make their way across the country, being guided by the infamous Green Book — the travel guide which purported to be able to point black travelers in the direction of friendly establishments throughout the South — the two men learn as much about each other as they do about the attitudes of people who see them as either elitist, subhuman, or both.

Gwyneth Paltrow denies causing Utah ski crash By BRADY McCOMBS Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Actress Gwyneth Paltrow denied Wednesday that she skied into a man who accused her in a lawsuit of seriously injuring him at a Utah ski resort, alleging in a counter claim that the man actually plowed into her from behind and delivered a full “body blow.” Paltrow was skiing with her children and friends Feb. 26, 2016 during a family vacation on a beginner run named “Bandana” at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, when Terry Sanderson smashed into her, the actress’ attorney alleged in a counter claim filed in court. Paltrow said she was shaken by the collision and quit skiing for the day. She said Sanderson apologized to her and said he was fine, her response to Sanderson’s lawsuit said. She had previously denied blame for the crash in a statement but had not yet offered a full version of the events. “She did not knock him down,” Paltrow’s court filing said. “He knocked her down. He was not knocked out.” Paltrow, known for her roles in “Shakespeare in Love” and the “Iron Man” movies and her lifestyle company named goop, said her injuries were minor and that she is seeking “symbolic damages” of $1 plus costs for her lawyers fees from Sanderson for defending herself against what she called a “meritless claim.’ Her legal response to Sanderson also called his lawsuit an “attempt to exploit her celebrity and wealth.”

“Everybody donated or bought a kit for $50,” Lampe said. “We’re hoping to crowdfund some kind of a booklet that could be published with every weaver’s photograph and a short biography.” So far about 16 squares have arrived in Juneau and several more are on their way to the capital city. All the squares will be in a teal, purple and white color palette. “It’s been cool to see them come in,” Hope said. Although this is the first project for their budding nonprofit Spirit Uprising, it’s not the first time Hope and her family have done a collaborative weaving project. Hope’s mother Rizal previously headed Weavers Across the Waters Community Robe project. About 40 weavers contributed to that project, which was first used in a ceremony in August 2016 before Rizal’s passing in

The film itself is very entertaining, and, if anything, a little lightweight considering the subject matter. In fact, this has been the cause of a bit of the backlash “Green Book” is seeing as critics complain that the film is too sanitized and doesn’t do enough to illustrate the horrors of this era. My answer to that is that not all movies have to do all things. This is not “Mississippi Burning.” This is a specific story, based on real people, and to at least some extent, actual events. Sure, the relationship between these two men doesn’t have to surmount impossible hurdles in order to thrive the way it might in, say, “12 Years a Slave,” but, again, this isn’t that movie. One of my favorite parts of this movie was the hopeful tone it engenders. There are plenty of racists in this movie, but this movie seems

Paltrow’s account differs greatly from the sequence of events alleged by Sanderson in the lawsuit filed Jan. 29. He said Paltrow was skiing out of control and knocked him out, leaving him with a concussion and four broken ribs. Sanderson referred to it as a “hit and run” and is seeking $3.1 million in damages. Sanderson, a retired optometrist, told reporters in Salt Lake City on the day he sued that he waited to file the lawsuit for nearly three years because he had problems with attorneys and could not function properly because of the concussion. Sanderson’s attorney, Robert Sykes, did not immediately respond Wednesday to an email seeking comment about Paltrow’s response to his client’s lawsuit. Sanderson’s lawsuit and Paltrow’s response to it both cite an incident report filed by a Deer Valley ski instructor about the collision.
The instructor, who was skiing with Paltrow’s 9-year-old son, said Sanderson was the uphill skier and hit Paltrow from behind. He said Paltrow had been making short turns as she skied behind her children, who were getting ski lessons downhill from her on the same ski trail, according to the report provided to The Associated Press by Paltrow’s attorney through the actress’ spokeswoman, Heather Wilson. It was not immediately clear if the report had been filed with the lawsuit. But the instructor said in his report said he did not actually see the collision and only heard Paltrow scream and hit the ground. He did not explain in the report how he knew that Sanderson caused the collision. Sanderson in his lawsuit accused the instructor of filing a false report. Sanderson said he also heard Paltrow scream, right before he said she crashed into him, his lawsuit said.
Deer Valley Resort spokeswoman Emily Summers said Wednesday that the resort cannot comment on pending legal matters. Sanderson’s lawsuit against Paltrow also includes the resort as a defendant. The resort’s attorneys asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit in a court filing Tuesday in which they denied that the instructor falsified the report and defended how ski patrol personnel responded to the crash. The resort said its ski patrol hauled Sanderson in a toboggan to a medical tent after the collision. The resort denied it inflicted the emotional distress Sanderson said he suffered after the collision. “A recreational skiing accident that plaintiff waited nearly three years to sue on simply does not constitute an event that renders a ‘reasonable person unable to cope with his daily life,” Deer Valley said in its court filing.
December of that year. Hope led the completion of a bottom row and border for that robe, and it was finished in 2017. Hope, Hudson and Lampe were all involved in that project that was “I called my sister and said, ‘Isn’t it about time we did another collaborative robe?” Hope said, adding, “We were all like, ‘I guess we’re going to do this again.’” She said her mother likely would have thought they were crazy for attempting such a stressful, involved undertaking again. “I think that she would say, ‘Didn’t you learn how much work that was last time? Ha ha ha,” Hope said enunciating each laugh. Weavers helping with the Giving Strength Robe were instructed by Hope to approach their work with thoughts of resilience, healing and compassion for survivors of domestic violence, rather than righteous anger directed at perpetrators of violence.
“It’s important to come to weaving with grace, strength and positive thoughts,” Hope said. “When we are in a state of rage or coming at it with more anger than peace, we don’t weave.” Saralyn Tabachnick, Executive Director for AWARE, said she is moved by the project and its intentions. “AWARE is deeply touched about this project, and honored to be the recipient of such generous, thoughtful and caring weavers,” Tabachnick said. “We are super grateful and fortunate to have Lily Hope in our community, building community and providing leadership. The depth and breadth of this project and the process is inspiring.” Lampe said she didn’t hesitate when her niece asked if she wanted to participate. “It’s for a good cause,” Lampe said. “We all know the stats of domestic violence. Plus, we all know somebody who knows somebody.”
An average of 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in the U.S., according to statistics compiled by the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Nearly 30 percent of women and 10 percent of men have experienced one of those forms of domestic violence. The robe is also meant to be a companion piece of sorts for Tlingit master carver Wayne Price’s healing totem pole for AWARE, which is similarly intended to bring awareness to gender-based violence and healing to its survivors. The pole is expected to be raised this spring, but the robe will be coming later this year. “We wanted to have it done at the same time, but it’s just not realistic,” Hope said. When the Giving Strength Robe is completed, Hope said there will be a reception and first dance for the garment, “so it can come alive and have the spirit of dance put into it.”
to suggest that you can’t expect everyone to be able to be their perfect selves all the time. If that sounds like I’m equivocating, so be it, but so much of the theme of this movie is about mistaken assumptions. Tony begins the movie with the assumption that black people are somehow dirty and, most likely, thieves. As the movie goes along, his attitudes change and the movie, rather than punish him for his earlier impressions, celebrates his ability to change. Dr. Shirley, too, makes assumptions about the kind of man Tony is and what he’s capable of. Shirley, too, changes and again, the movie celebrates that. Now, obviously, the grievance that Italian Americans have concerning assumptions about their intelligence or propensity for violence doesn’t really compare to the 400 years of bondage that African-Americans have suffered, and I don’t think the movie is making an equivalence argument.
But the particular prejudices between these two individuals are pretty similar and it’s a good example of how you have to take these things down to a personal level. I found “Green Book” charming, moving, and very entertaining. The performances by Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen are stellar, and rightly up for Academy Awards. These two guys are really amazing. Mortensen’s been around for a while, all the way back to “Lord of the Rings” and before. Ali has come up suddenly, but is taking Hollywood by storm. I don’t know how much longer this film will be in town, but as long as it is, head over and watch it. Not only will you see a really good movie, but you’ll encourage good behavior on the part of the theater. Grade: A “Green Book” is rated PG-13 for brief violence, language, and adult themes.

there’s this: don’t be surprised if your emotions surface when you least expect it. Authors Wilma Melville and Paul Lobo, tell a tale of despair that turns into the biggest success possible on many levels, but they do it in a way that gives readers the feeling that we’ve got a stake in the outcome. Her pups become our pups, and by time Melville’s “misfit” dogs make her proud, we are, too. When they’re goofy, we laugh along with her; we also grieve at failures. This makes the story even more compelling; it doesn’t hurt that Melville and Lobo know how to heighten suspense better than any novelist could. And so, your search for something to read this weekend ends right here. It’s got action, adventure, and warm fur on four feet. For dog lovers or anybody who loves a heroic story, “Hero Dogs” is a winner.
NEW YORK — W.E.B. Griffin, the prolific and best-selling author of military novels, has died at age 89. Griffin, whose real name was William E. Butterworth III, died Feb. 12. His death was confirmed Monday by his publisher, Putnam, which did not immediately provide additional details. Himself a military veteran who enlisted in the Army when he was just shy of 17 and later served in the Korean War, he wrote more than 200 books under W.E.B. Griffin and various other names and sold millions of copies. His many popular series included “Badge of Honor,” ”Clandestine Operations” and “Presidential Agent.” More than 20 novels, including the upcoming “The Attack,” were written with his son, William E. Butterworth IV. Under his own name,
he helped write several sequels in the 1970s to the Richard Hooker novel “M(asterisk)A(asterisk) S(asterisk)H,” the basis for the hit movie and television show about a U.S. medical unit in Korea. A Newark, New Jersey native, Griffin started using other names on for his books in the 1960s because he worried that libraries wouldn’t accept multiple works by the same author in a given year. His pen names included Alex Baldwin, Webb Beech and Walter E. Blake. He thought of Griffin as a pen name in the 1980s, noting on his web site that Griffin was “the mythical creature with the wings of an eagle and the loins of a lion . which of course is how most colonels think of themselves.” Griffin’s wife, the dancer and author, Emma Macalik Butterworth, died in 2003. He is survived by four children.

Son keeps his social life out of his parents’ view wonder if your husband would have been as curious (and intrusive) if your son had been entertaining a woman in the guesthouse. Your son has been honest with you about his sexual orientation. He’s an adult and should be entitled to Abigail Van Buren privacy regardless of the gender of his companion. He has also been honest about his limitations because of his attention deficit problem. Unless he is breaking some rule that you and your husband have set in your home, what you should think is that your son is working, taking classes and trying his best to become independent. Perhaps if your husband is less heavy-handed with his questions, your son’s attitude may improve. DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with someone for 11 months. He has full custody of an 8-year-old son from a previous relationship. The mother hasn’t been in the child’s life for two years. His son knows I am his father’s girlfriend and has seen us be affection-
ate with each other. He has also heard us say “I love you.” Lately, the boy has been saying “I love you” to me, and I am torn about how to respond. We have a good relationship, and I do care for him and his well-being, but I don’t know how to respond when he says this. Do I say “I love you” back because I care for him, or should I not respond? I don’t know if he’s just mimicking what he sees or hears, but I also don’t want to teach him that he shouldn’t be open about his feelings. -- CAUGHT OFF-GUARD DEAR CAUGHT: All children want to feel loved. Because you care about the boy, give him a hug and say you love him, too, and always will. I do have one caveat, however. If your relationship with his father doesn’t work out, it is very important that you and the child’s dad talk to him and tell him that the breakup has nothing to do with HIM, that it is not his fault, and he (the boy) will always have a special place in your heart. 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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019: This year, you open up to new ideas and possibilities. Let go of the need to keep certain details consistently uniform. If single, your newfound openness draws many potential suitors. Do not commit unless you are 100 percent sure. If attached, pretend once in a while to be a well-known romantic from literature or the movies when interacting with your sweetie. VIRGO fusses a lot. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Others notice how focused you might be on a project, a book or even getting your taxes together. You might not be ready to share your thoughts as of yet. Tonight: A dear friend and/or loved one proves to be most receptive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You cannot sit on your creativity. Whatever you decide to share, your imagination will benefit. You could want to focus this energy into a budding romance or a child. Others are clearly drawn to your energy. Tonight: Choose your favorite means of relaxing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Make it OK to play it low-key and not be available. You have a lot going on and need some downtime to clear out as much as you can. Humor a roommate or a family member, maybe even the cat. Tonight: Energize, and paint the town red. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You will want to take action no matter what goes on. Do not push too hard for others to agree with you. Just be open to their ideas. You will see the same openness extended toward you sooner rather than later. Tonight: Make it an early night. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be rather remote or obsessive about a certain topic. By all means, throw yourself into your focus. At a certain point, you will become more available. You will see the happiness in a friend’s face when you are present once more. Tonight: Let the party go on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Others might feel somewhat

off, but you feel on top of your game. Your attention to detail and quiet but strong energy draw others to you. You have reason for celebration. An offer or invitation might be too good to be true. Tonight: All smiles. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Use this period to catch up on lost sleep and add to your vitality. Soon enough, you will feel as if there is no stopping you. Complete a personal errand or two as well. A call or a conversation needs to be kept hush-hush. Tonight: Nap, then decide. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Trust yourself to make the appropriate decision. Give up on creating anxiety and worrying over and over again. You could be tired of overthinking issues and pushing so hard. Greet life with a more open mind. Tonight: Where the action is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You become a star wherever you are. You most likely will be out when you receive acknowledgment for a job well done. Be gracious, but plan on celebrating good news in the evening. Tonight: Popping a bottle of champagne. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reach out for someone at a distance who sometimes has avantgarde ideas that make you flip out. Nevertheless, you always find these conversations noteworthy, as they open up your thinking. Tonight: Others seek you out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH A close associate takes the time to explain a financial proposition that might be of interest to you. Do not commit unless you want to. If romance is tied up with business, you might feel as if you must agree. Tonight: Let a discussion extend into the evening. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You expend a considerable amount of time thinking through a decision. You feel as if you have no choice, but you always have choice. Give yourself some time to think through your alternatives. Tonight: Out, but slow down the pace.

No drawstrings attached Dear Heloise: I’m pleased to see manufacturers produce hooded sweatshirts WITHOUT DRAWSTRINGS. A drawstring can be extremely dangerous; it poses a strangulation risk. -- Janet M. in Illinois Janet, how right you are! Parents, many children’s garments today are made without a drawstring, either for the hood, the waist or around the bottom of the garment. The drawstring can catch on the slide at the playground; it can get caught in the door of a vehicle; it can get yanked on -- too many scary scenarios. If there’s drawstringed attire that your child still wears, remove the drawstring, for safety’s sake. -- Heloise P.S. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (www.cpsc.gov) has recommended recalls for many garments with drawstrings. ITS OR IT’S? Dear Heloise: My writing students get “its” and “it’s” confused. Here’s a primer: “Its” shows possession: “The dog can chase its tail.” “It’s” is a contraction for “it is”: “It’s amusing to watch the dog chase its tail.” -- Mae G. in Virginia It’s a pleasure to share your letter, Mae. -- Heloise (Did I get it right?) LINT ATTRACTS LINT Dear Heloise: Did you know that no tool is needed to collect dryer lint? My mother told me that “lint attracts lint,” and all I have to do is run my finger lightly over the lint screen and all the lint comes off easily. It isn’t dirty! We live in the country and must burn our trash, and I keep the lint in a box in the laundry room until we light up the burn barrel. -- Lisa in Tennessee

DEAR ABBY: Our 22-year-old son stays with us. He has a part-time job and goes to school part-time. He is somewhat secretive. We don’t know his friends or where he goes. One day he brought a male friend over and they hung out in our guesthouse, drinking and playing video games. This went on for several hours and then the blinds closed. My husband wasn’t comfortable with that, so he knocked on the door and went in to talk to them. He asked the friend if he had a girlfriend, and the friend said no -- that he’s bisexual. Our son then announced that he is also bisexual. We have only met one girl that he dated and the male friend who was over. The friend did say he isn’t interested in our son, that they are strictly friends. I don’t think my husband should have quizzed our son in front of his friend. Our son has a chip on his shoulder and an “I don’t care attitude” about many things. He blames a lot of things on his ADHD. He acts like he can’t multitask or concentrate on what he’s supposed to do. He tries, but if he forgets to do something, he gets an attitude from time to time. I don’t know what to think. -- FRUSTRATED IN WASHINGTON DEAR FRUSTRATED: I can’t help but
