District begins search for new superintendent

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District has begun its search for a new superintendent. The current superintendent, Sean Dusek, tendered his resignation last month after serving as the district’s leader for nearly five years.

Dusek will leave the district June 30.

According to a press release from the district, a successful candidate for the position will have outstanding educational leadership and advocacy skills.

“The board is especially interested in a leader with high integrity who has proven experience as an effective educational administrator and school system leader,” the release said.

“The preferred candidate should have demonstrated expertise in school district finance and budget management, human resources and effective curriculum and instruction implementation.”

The Association of Alaska School Boards is facilitating the search for a new superintendent, with applications due March 15, and a potential start date of July 1.

Early run kings catch restricted

By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

Anglers looking to catch king salmon this May will be facing restrictions on both the Kenai and Kasi-

lof Rivers, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

The department announced Thursday that Kenai River early run king salmon will be catch and

release only. On the Kasilof River, anglers will only be able to retain one hatchery king salmon 20 inches or greater in length.

The department said that the restrictions are being

implemented in hopes of protecting returning king salmon and ensuring fishing opportunities in the future.

After 31 days, House speaker elected

By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire

Partisan politics be damned.

The Alaska House chose a leader on Tuesday, after two more Republicans voted with the mostly Democratic House Coalition to elect Rep. Bryce Edgmon of Dillingham, as Speaker of the House. Edgmon changed his party from a Democrat to undeclared earlier this week.

“To hell with politics. I’m going to do what is right for Alaska,” Rep. Jennifer Johnston, an Anchorage Republican, said moments before casting her vote for Edgmon.

Rep. Chuck Kopp, R-Anchorage, also voted in favor of Edgmon. The tally was 21 ‘Yeas’ and 18 ‘Nays.’ Rep. Gary Knopp, R-Kenai, was absent.

“This has been a long hard road for a lot of us,” Kopp said of the House organiza-

tion process, prior to casting his vote. “I’m a proud supporter of Rep. Dave Talerico.

I’ve voted for him four times on the floor to be Speaker of the House. He’s a good friend, spiritual mentor, he’s got a

great heart and he’s a great leader. My vote does not detract one iota from that.”

Talerico, a Healy Republican, was tagged previously

by House Republicans to be speaker shortly after the No-

vember election. However, Knopp announced in December he would only join a bipartisan majority coalition.

By leaving the House Republican caucus, Knopp left See HOUSE, page A3

Experts: State could lose thousands of jobs Signer of Alaska Constitution, Jack Coghill, dies at 93 ANCHORAGE — One of the last remaining members of the Alaska constitutional convention has died.

Former Lt. Gov. Jack Coghill died Wednesday in North Pole. He was 93.

His son, state Sen. John Coghill, said in a statement that his father had the same passion for Alaska in his last days as he did throughout his life.

John Bruce Coghill was born in Fairbanks in 1925 and raised in Nenana.

His father, an immigrant from Scotland, started a trading post in Nenana in 1912.

Jack and his wife, Frances, over the years owned a movie theater, roadhouse, and fuel distribution company in Nenana, a river community south of Fairbanks.

He served as mayor of Nenana for 22 years and was elected to terms in the state House and Senate.

Borough may swap roads with state

By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire

Job losses are on the horizon for Alaska if Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s budget proposal goes through, experts say, and it’s unclear how much — or little — economic impact research the Office of Management and Budget did prior to releasing the proposed budget.

A 2016 study from the University of Alaska Anchorage Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) estimated that the state loses about 1,000 jobs for every $100 million that the state cuts in its budget.

Dunleavy’s proposed budget includes $1.6 billion in cuts, which by the study’s findings would lead to about 16,000

jobs gone.

One of the authors of that study, UAA Associate Professor of Economics Mouhcine Guettabi, said in a phone

interview Thursday that he estimates between 13,000 and 20,000 jobs could be lost in the span of a year if this budget proposal goes

through as is.

“These are immediate losses that take into account not just government losses, but also losses because people are no longer eating out, no longer spending money.

It’s what’s referred to as indirect or induced (impacts), meaning you actually follow the money downstream and look at how that reduction in spending by both businesses and individuals actually affects the statewide economy.”

During a Senate Finance Committee meeting Thursday, senators peppered OMB Director Donna Arduin with questions about the proposal and its impacts to communities. They got very few answers, as Arduin deflected many pointed questions from See JOBS, page A2

An ordinance authorizing the borough to enter into an agreement with the state Department of Transportation, allowing for the sale and exchange of certain public roads will be introduced at Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting.

In an October letter from peninsula district superintendent for the state Department of Transportation, Carl High wrote borough roads director, Dil Uhlin, a proposal to trade ownership and maintenance of nine state-maintained roads for the boroughowned Escape Route, a dirt back road running between Nikiski and Kenai.

“In an attempt to find logical efficiencies that would benefit both the Kenai Peninsula Borough and that State of Alaska DOT, we would like to propose trading ownership and maintenance of the roads listed below,” the letter read.

State roads on the list for trade include sections of Secret Road, Longmere Way, Lakeshore Drive, Murray Lane, Marhenke Street, Dolores Drive, Cohoe Beach Road, Pollard Loop and Alta Loop. Total mileage for the state-maintained roads is 4.7 miles, while the Escape Route is about 4.6 miles in length. All of the roads are paved except Cohoe Beach Road, Pollard Loop Road and Alta Loop, according to the October letter.

If the agreement is approved, the borough would take over the maintenance, ownership and control of the state roads listed, giving up their responsibility for the Escape Route.

The state-maintained roads potentially being taken over by the borough are short segments of road contiguous to boroughmaintained roads, according to a Feb. 7 memo from Uhlin to the assembly.

Kodiak police arrest chiropractor appointed to state board KODIAK (AP) — A Kodiak chiropractor appointed last month to the Alaska Workers' Compensation Board by Gov. Mike Dunleavy has been charged with multiple felonies.

Christopher Twiford, 45, was arraigned Tuesday on three counts of felony assault, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported . He's also charged with misdemeanor counts of assault and possession of a weapon while intoxicated.

Online court records do

not list Twiford's attorney.

Messages left Thursday at Twiford's practice were not immediately returned. The Kodiak city jail lists Twiford as free on bail as of Wednesday.

Dunleavy appointed Twiford to join the Workers' Compensation Board on Jan. 25. The three-year appointment was to take effect March 1. The board reviews labor regulations and resolves disputed benefits claims. Dunleavy spokesman Matt Shuckerow did

not immediately return an email requesting comment Thursday.

The criminal complaint stemmed from the report of a doctor. A physician called Kodiak police on Feb. 3 to report that a patient's injuries were likely caused by an assault, including strangulation.

Police contacted the patient. She showed investigators a bruise on her head that she said was caused when Twiford hit her in the head with a pet food dish, knock-

ing her to the floor.

She told police that when she tried to stand, Twiford hit her again and pushed her back down. He retrieved a revolver and pointed at her chest, the woman told police.

When Twiford put the gun down, she said, a scuffle began. She said Twiford tried to strangle her, climbed on top of her, put all his weight on her chest and made it difficult for her to breathe. She said she bit him on the chest.

The woman said Twiford

had been drinking continuously over 24 hours and that she had consumed shots also.

She was diagnosed afterward with a concussion. Officers photographed bruises on her arms, shoulders, back and head.

The woman told police that Twiford in November had pointed a gun at her face after an argument and threatened to shoot her if she dated someone else.

Twiford's bail was set at $3,000. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 21.

Three people charged with assaulting man 2 years ago

By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion

Three people from Kenai have been charged with assaulting and injuring a man trying to break up a fight two years ago, according to an affidavit filed by the Kenai Police Department on Feb. 9.

Ryan Huerta, 20, Elijah Trevino, 20, and Austin Cronce, 20, allegedly assaulted and injured a man who was attempting to break up a fight between two other people. According to the affidavit, Kenai police officers got a call about a fight taking place on Nov. 10, 2017. After po-

lice responded to the scene, witnesses told the officers that a fight had broken out between two men and a third had stepped in to intervene.

While the man was attempting to break up the fight, Huerta, Trevino and Cronce allegedly approached him from behind

and began punching, kicking, and kneeing him in the face. The man suffered a severe fracture to his right cheekbone and had to undergo reconstructive surgery, according to medical records mentioned in the affidavit.

Trevino and Cronce were both charged with two

counts of first-degree assault, a class A felony, two counts of second-degree assault, a class B felony, and one count of third-degree assault, a class C felony.

Huerta was charged with three counts of first-degree assault, one count of seconddegree assault, and one count of third-degree assault.

the senators on the committee about the implications of the budget proposal.

Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, was particularly dogged with his questions Thursday. He repeatedly asked Arduin if OMB had done studies on how the budget might affect everyday Alaskans. For the most part, Arduin deferred those questions to OMB Chief Economist Ed King — who was not in attendance.

“When the economist is here, he can present the analysis that he has available,” Arduin said, repeating that sentiment throughout the meeting.

King referred an interview request from the Empire to OMB press personnel, who did not return a phone call.

Wielechowski specifically asked Arduin about the 2016 ISER study about state cuts leading to job losses. Arduin

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.

said she doesn’t believe it tells the whole story.

“My reading of that analysis is, it takes into account one side of the equation, which is an analysis of the resulting reduction in government jobs, but the analysis does not take into account the other side of the equation,” Arduin said.

One main factor in that other side of the equation, she said, is issuing a larger Permanent Fund Dividend — one of Dunleavy’s top priorities. Doing this will help fuel the private sector, she said multiple times in Thursday’s presentation. The private sector will also thrive because there will be less of a threat of taxes with the current administration in place, she said. Dunleavy has vehemently opposed an income tax in statements during his campaign and term.

“The reduction of 600 government jobs will be more than offset by the positive effects to the private sector,” Arduin said.

An ISER study shows the PFD helps the economy in the

short term, Guettabi said, but he said there’s a “tremendous amount of anxiety” about the state’s economy that might deter people from running out and spending that money.

Looking ahead In looking at the long term, Guettabi said cuts to education — Dunleavy’s proposed budget cuts the University of Alaska’s operating budget nearly in half — are worrisome. If the workforce is less educated, he said, the state’s economy will struggle.

“I think how this plays out in the long run will depend on how these changes affect education, health care, and general quality (of) life. If these attributes are negatively affected and Alaska becomes a less attractive place, then it is not a good outcome.”

Speaking to the Empire after presenting to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 7, King said there will be job losses in the short term but the future of the economy depends on how people react. Some might get a job elsewhere in the state, some might start their own

business or some might leave the state, he said, but everything will even out in the long run.

“Everybody’s going to react to this situation, and it’s going to stabilize,” King said. “That’s how an economy functions.

From there, it’s going to grow again.”

Arduin, King and others from OMB will continue presenting to the Senate Finance Committee on Friday and into next week, breaking down different aspects of the budget and fielding questions from the senators. Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, is the chair of the committee, and began Thursday’s meeting by saying they hope to get an operating budget through the Legislature and to Dunleavy in early May. Until then, there will be many long meetings and late nights for lawmakers.

“This is the beginning of a very lengthy process,” Stedman said. “There will be a lot of interest from around the state, so it might be a little more detailed and time-consuming than the previous years.”

tory 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.”

On the Kasilof River from May 1 to June 30, anglers are only allowed to retain one hatchery king salmon 20 inches or greater. A hatchery fish is recognizable by the healed adipose fin-clip scar.

The adipose fin is the small, fleshy fin located just ahead of the fish’s tail. Naturally produced king salmon have an intact adipose fin and may not be kept. Naturally produced king salmon that are caught cannot be removed from the water and must be released immediately.

The Kasilof River will also see bait restrictions, limiting

anglers to one unbaited, single-hook artificial lure from the mouth of the Kasilof to the Sterling Highway bridge.

“It’s important to our staff and anglers that we continue our efforts to protect and rebuild our wild king salmon stocks,” Lipka said. “ADF&G does anticipate an increase in angler effort on the Kasilof River due to early run king salmon restrictions on the Kenai River and we have to manage accordingly with restric-

tions only allowing hatchery king salmon to be retained on the Kasilof River.”

Fish & Game is forecasting 3,168 early-run Kenai River king salmon equal or greater than 34 inches, which is less than the optimum escapement goal of 3,900 to 6,600 fish. If realized, this year’s run would rank as the fourth lowest across 34 years.

Trevor Donell Shields

Larry Hull

September 20, 1954 - January 29, 2019

December 23, 1973 - February 4, 2019

December 24, 2018

Allen Jarvis “Al” Stephens died of natural causes on January 29, 2019 at his home in North Kenai with his beloved life companion Karen Wilson at his side. He was 64.

Mr Stephens was born on September 20, 1954 in Kenai to Garland and Margaret Stephens. The family moved to Anchorage when he was very young.

He attended Dimond High School. He later became a heavy equipment operator and then a pusher on a drilling rig.

Mr. Stephens worked a number of years on the North Slope for Doyon Drilling before retiring. He enjoyed and worked hard at keeping his lawn and flower beds in beautiful condition. People driving by often slowed down to admire his work.

His life companion stated that he will be unbearably deeply and forever missed. He had a warm and caring heart and a hilarious sense of humor. He was an intelligent man who knew the answers to crossword puzzles when she was stuck. He loved his coffee and morning newspapers and books, particularly Alaskan and Western novels. He was a perfectionist, whenever he set out to do something, every little detail had to be just so. He spent winter months planning on paper exactly how to build a sidewalk at the bottom of their stars which turned out so beautiful.

He was predeceased by his father, Garland Stephens and his Mother, Margaret Stephens, also by his two kitties whom he loved dearly, Alfie and Ashley. Al’s best friend, Joseph Alward of Wasilla, whom he’d been planning to visit died several days before Allen.

Left to cherish Mr. Stephen’s memory are his life sojourner companion of 22 years, Karen Wilson of Kenai; sister Shar Webb-Widowes and brother-in-law Teddy Widowes of Kenai; brother John Stephens of Seward; son Jayson Stephens and grand daughter Taydem Nicole Stephens and grandson Jeramia Stephens of Phoenix; numerous cousins; his beloved kitties Ivan and Ernesto and his Lab Angel, who miss him terribly.

At Mr Stephens’ request there will be no funeral service.

On Monday, February 4, 2019, Trevor Donell Shields, son, brother, and uncle, passed away after a long illness. Trevor will forever be remembered by his parents, Donald and Jan Shields, and by his brothers and sister; Micah (Shawna), Noah (Danielle), and Kara (Joshua). He will also be remembered with great fondness by his numerous nephews, nieces and extended family and dear friends.

Born in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, December 23, 1973, Trevor moved with his parents to Anchorage, Alaska in August 1975. Entering the care of Hope Cottages in 1979, Trevor continued to be involved in his family’s lives throughout his life. Trevor attended and participated in the immersion program for special needs students at Diamond High School, graduating from there in 1994. In 2006, he moved to Kenai to be near his family, who had relocated there some years previously. He remained under the care of Hope Community Services until his death.

Trevor will always be well remembered for his sunny disposition and bright smile, his big hug to those who asked, his love of animals, Country Gospel music, adventures with his team of caregivers, attending church with his family and of course visiting his brother’s shop for a cup of coffee.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 4pm on Sunday, February 17, at Peninsula Christian Center, 161 Farnsworth Blvd, Soldotna, Pastor John Watson officiating.

Trevor’s ashes will be buried at Kenai Cemetery on the graves of Glenn and Shirley Bragg. Trevor’s gravestone will read: “Reunited with his beloved grandparents.” Those who so desire may make memorial donations in memory of Trevor to Don Shields, 42737 Sterling Hwy, Soldotna, AK 99669.

Larry Hull passed away December 24, 2018.

He is survived by his son, Aaron Hull, sisters Patricia Higgins of Wisconsin.

Larry, you are a son, brother, father and friend and loved. We will honor you and pay our respects to a life we were fortunate to be a part of.

Larry was preceded in death by his father, mother and brother.

Graveside services will be held February 20, 2019 at Spruce Grove Cementary, Kasilof, Alaska at 12 noon.

In lieu of flowers, please “pay forward” with love, kindness and acceptance to all.

. . . House Continued from page A1

House Republicans with only 20 votes.

Rep. Chris Tuck, D-Anchorage, nominated Edgmon Thursday, saying that Edgmon was the first Alaska Native to hold the House Speaker position during the previous legislative session and has demonstrated his “committment to the Legislature and Alaska being that speaker.”

“As Speaker, he has been very fair,” Tuck said on the floor. “He’s a quiet leader, but listens to everyone. He passed the first bill in the 30th Alaska Legislature making sure it was a minority bill, making sure everybody had a voice.”

Kopp said he was “proud” to be moving the House forward with its organization and that is a higher priority than remaining status quo.

The House had been gridlocked since the session started, unable to work on legislation due to lack of appointed leadership and organization.

Kopp added that his vote does not show a “lack of support” for Gov. Mike Dunleavy, although he does not agree with everything in the governor’s budget released this week. Dunleavy’s budget proposal calls for $1.6 billion reductions, that include major cuts to Medicaid, the Alaska Marine Highway System and the University of Alaska system.

When Edgmon took his seat behind the podium as House speaker, he thanked the House for its hard work the last five weeks.

“Given that the time remaining in the session is not ideally as it would be the full length of the session,” Edgmon said. “I still feel heartened in the sense that we can pick up where we left off, and make up for lost time and really focus on what the responsibility is in front of us which is a fiscally sustainable budget.”

It took the House 31 days to elect a leader in this 31st

Legislative session. For the first month of session, the House Republican and House Coalition caucuses had been locked in a stalemate as neither of them could muster more than 20 votes to elect a speaker. Now there are only 59 days remaining in session according to the statutory limit and 89 days by the consitutional limit.

After the meeting, Juneau Rep. Sara Hannan, a Democrat, said she was “very pleased” with Edgmon becoming House speaker.

“I believe Bryce Edgmon is a true generational leader who truly believes in the long-term goals of Alaska — a non partisan who can lead for the long-term future of Alaska,” Hannan said. “It is my sense that there has always been dialogue from moderates in each of the parties trying to find common ground. I do think the budget rolling out helped lead to the idea of focusing on narrow set of issues.”

Down to business Though there is now a permanent Speaker, the House is still not fully organized yet.

Edgmon appointed himself to be chair of the Committee on Committees, which makes committee assignments.

He also appointed Reps. Neal Foster, D-Nome, Louise Stutes, R-Kodiak, Steve Thompson, RFairbanks, Tammie Wilson, RNorth Pole; Kopp and Johnston to the committee. The Committee on Committees is expected to meet sometime before the House floor session, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday.

Once the House majority is clearly staked out and committee assignments are made, the House can get down to business.

The composition of the House majority remains unclear at this point. But following Thursday’s House floor session, Edgmon said he expects Wilson, Thompson and Knopp would join the majority. If that were the case, there would be 24 members in the House majority. Edgmon said it is too early to say there will be 24 members in the majority, because there may be more House members joining.

What Others Say

1 year after Parkland, progress is still lagging Florida has been forever changed

by the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. In the 12 months since 17 people were killed by a troubled former student firing a semi-automatic assault rifle, there have been modest new gun controls, enhanced security at schools and an increase in civic activism by young people. The challenge on the one-year anniversary of the shooting is to remain focused on meaningful changes to make our schools and communities safer — and for Floridians of all ages to remain involved in the discussion.

To their credit, then-Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature reacted with remarkable speed following the shooting. Within three weeks, a new law raised the age to buy all guns from 18 to 21, applied the three-day waiting period for buying handguns to rifles and outlawed bump stocks that have been used in other mass shootings and enable guns to fire more rapidly. Florida became one of a handful of states to establish a red flag law that enables law enforcement to seek a court order to take guns away from people who are a threat to themselves or others. Schools are being hardened, and at least one armed guard is required now at every school.

Yet there is much more to be done. A state commission chaired by Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri recommends increasing spending on mental health, requiring “hard corners” in every classroom where students and teachers cannot be seen by shooters in hallways or outside and locked door policies. Many of the commission’s prudent proposals, including a review of campus hardening efforts and standardized school security assessments, are included in legislation passed Tuesday by the Senate Education Committee. In the meantime, many school districts have to step up their efforts to comply with the requirement that every school have behavioral threat assessment teams to identify students showing concerning behavior.

If the Florida Legislature was less beholden to the National Rifle Association, it would take more aggressive measures. It would expand the red flag law to empower family members, not just law enforcement officers, to ask a judge to take firearms away from someone who is a danger to themselves or others. It would close the so-called gun show loophole so every gun sale would require a background check. It would ban semi-automatic weapons like those used at Stoneman Douglas and the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Of course, that is not likely to happen in Tallahassee until voters send more gun-control advocates to the Legislature.

What really shouldn’t happen is allowing some classroom teachers to carry guns, no matter how well they are screened or how much training they receive. The commission chaired by Gualtieri supports that change, and so do Gov. Ron DeSantis and key Republican legislators. Gualtieri, who changed his thinking during the commission’s study, suggests at least one teacher could have shot and stopped the Stoneman Douglas shooter if he had been armed. But the commission also documented a series of systemic failures. The school district mishandled Nikolas Cruz’s issues over a long period. Campus monitors at Stoneman Douglas failed to sound the alarm when Cruz walked on campus carrying a rifle bag. And armed police officers failed to immediately enter the building after Cruz started shooting. More guns in schools is not the answer.

Ultimately, school safety is about money. The Florida Legislature should continue to invest in mental health services, better communications systems within schools and hardening campuses. If there is a compelling need for more armed security, the state should provide school districts with enough money to hire more police officers or licensed security guards with law enforcement backgrounds.

Southern Baptist leaders failed followers

My first reaction upon hearing that hundreds of leaders in the Southern Baptist church had sexually abused as many as 700 people in 400 churches, including victims as young as 3, was “how could they?” It was the same reaction I had when news of predatory priests in the Roman Catholic Church, and the cover-up that followed the sexual abuse allegations, surfaced.

I have belonged to Southern Baptist churches in the past, so I know something about their proud “independent” status. Some critics have said it is the lack of a central authority in these churches that contributed to failed oversight. The Catholic Church has a central authority. How do you explain its oversight structure?

The reporting by the Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News and The Washington Post should turn any stomach. Most Baptists have had children in their Sunday school programs. What must they be thinking as they ponder whether to ask their child, who by now might be a teen or an adult, if they had ever been abused by a teacher, pastor or counselor?

The Washington Post reports: “… instead of ensuring that sexual predators were kept at bay, the Southern Baptist Convention, resisted policy changes. …Victims accused church leaders of mishandling their com-

plaints, even hiding them from the public.”

The Post notes that while a majority of abusers have been convicted and are now registered as sex offenders, Cal Thomas “the investigation found that at least three dozen pastors, employees and volunteers who showed predatory behavior still worked at churches.”

One explanation for such behavior — it’s not the only one — appeared in a 2018 article in Christianity Today magazine: “Most pastors have struggled with porn.”

That’s according to an online study of nearly 3,000 adults, teenagers and pastors by the Barna Group. The study included 432 pastors and 338 youth pastors, and was commissioned by Josh McDowell Ministry and Cru (formerly known as Campus Crusade for Christ).

J.D. Greear, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, tweeted, “We must admit that our failures, as churches, put these survivors in a position where they were forced to stand alone and speak, when we

should have been fighting for them.”

There are at least two other considerations the denomination must address. It is likely that many abuse victims will not only leave their churches, as many Catholics have done, but possibly abandon their faith altogether. If this is what God allows, they might say, I want nothing to do with Him. The other thought is a warning.

While most people probably think they are above such sin, consider the words of the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah, whose diagnosis of the potential for evil is that it resides at some level in all of us and that we cannot say for certain what we would do given the circumstances: “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? (Jeremiah 17:9, NLT) Southern Baptist churches may wish to ponder and deliver a series of sermons on the meaning of these additional words from Jeremiah: “What sorrow awaits the leaders of my people — the shepherds of my sheep — for they have destroyed and scattered the very ones they were expected to care for, says the Lord.” (Jeremiah 23:1, NLT).

2 stages, up to 20 candidates in 1st 2 Dem debates

By BILL BARROW Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The first two Democratic presidential debates for the 2020 election will have two heats with room for a total of 20 candidates who meet certain polling or grassroots fundraising thresholds.

A senior Democratic National Committee official outlined the framework Thursday for the June and July events, which party Chairman Tom Perez has promised will ensure fairness for all potential candidates in a growing primary field that could approach two dozen candidates.

Candidates can qualify by reaching 1 percent support in at least three national

or early primary state polls.

They also can qualify by collecting campaign donations from at least 65,000 individuals, with at least 200 unique donors in at least 20 states.

NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo will broadcast the June debates on backto-back nights. CNN will broadcast the July debate on back-to-back nights.

Dates and locations will be determined later.

Candidates will be assigned to the respective stages by a random drawing. The details of that drawing will be announced ahead of the debates, but Perez has said the intent is to avoid having the party separate perceived top-tier candidates from a second tier, as Republicans did during their 2016 nomi-

nating fight.

“I am committed to running an open and transparent primary process,” Perez said in a statement. “To that end, we’ve spent months working with media partners to provide this unprecedented opportunity for candidates and voters to get to know each other.”

Party officials say this is the first time they know of a major party using grassroots fundraising as a debatequalifying threshold. Polling alone, they said, likely would be an unfair standard in what stands to be such a large field with so many candidates who could be polling in low single digits — at or near most polls’ margin of error.

They also said the fundraising metric encour-

ages candidates to prioritize small-donor fundraising across the country as a way to engage more voters in the process.

Party leaders said they will not go beyond 20 candidates. If more than 20 candidates meet both qualifying thresholds, the DNC would use candidates’ polling averages to weed out potential debaters.

In the unlikely event that the field is small enough to have one debate stage, party officials say that is an option. But they have not said what number would trigger a single night with one stage.

The June and July debates will be the first of at least a dozen primary debates sponsored by the party.

Letter to the Editor Time to step up to the plate Re, articles in Thursday’s ADN from Larry Persily and Mia Costello: They are right on, but if I could just add to the need for the income tax.

I have been living in our great state for near 70 years, since November 1949. To help in our budget crisis, we absolutely need the income tax.

Many of our politicians say, “Why should we give out a dividend, then tax it back.” They are two different situations.

The dividend was created to allow

every man, woman and child to share in our excess oil revenue from the oil we all own. It should go up in high oil prices, and down during the bad times, as we have recently experienced.

But the income tax would generate revenue from the high-income people; the dividend is specifically exempted, plus a generous minimum exemption for everyone. Then the tax rate starts at a low level, increasing as the income level rises.

An additional benefit is to generate revenue from the west coast fishermen who make a lot of money during the

summer fishing season and the Texas oil workers who make a lot of money during the winter. So far, they can take all this money back home with them, but the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that any money earned in a state with income tax will have to pay that tax.

From what I am hearing, we would all be willing to “step up to the plate,” and help to pay a share of providing for the government services we all want and need.

The greatest love of all V oices of F aith M itch G lover

I like Valentine’s Day. All the bright hearts, sweets, poems of love and affection, flowers, cards, etc., are fun to give and receive. Florists are at their busiest this time of year.

Hopefully kind words and deeds will continue on through the year.

It is interesting how much the word love is used.

We love a special flavor, food, dessert, feeling, person, animal, place, country, flower, color, song, etc. The word is overused and loses some of its meaning.

Jesus spoke of greater love (John 15:13). A man laying down his life for his friends expresses greater love. This has happened in disasters and war.

However, when Jesus died for us it was not only to bless our life here and

now but to make eternal life available.

John wrote in his letters to believers, “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

(1 John 3:16). While actually giving our life doesn’t occur for most of us, we do often have opportunity to give of our lives. To do that is to share our resources, time, and talents with others.

Helping someone out may change our schedules and our finances a little bit, but it may make a big difference to the one receiving help.

When it is all said and done, love is sometimes more said than done. A young man was describing his devotion and love for his girlfriend. He professed to be willing to even die for her. She replied, “Oh, you’re always saying that but you never do.”

Fortunately, someone did exactly that. Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Romans 5:8 says, “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (NLT). This great love produces great changes in us. Romans 5 says we were without strength, we were sinners and even enemies of God

when Christ died for us.

Now, because he endured death on the cross, we experience amazing changes by his word and Spirit. I’ve heard it said that Jesus takes us as we are but he doesn’t leave us as we were.

Powerful changes are at work.

1 Corinthians 13 is widely recognized as the “Love Chapter.” As many as 15 actions are attributed to love in this writing. It ends by listing three greats: faith, hope, and love — with love being the greatest.

where in my studies. I don’t remember the author to give credit but it details a great truth about love.

Nation/World

William Barr sworn in as US attorney general

By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — William Barr was sworn in Thursday for his second stint as the nation’s attorney general, taking the helm of the Justice Department as special counsel Robert Mueller investigates Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Earlier Thursday, the Senate voted 54-45 to confirm the veteran government official, mostly along party lines. Barr, who also served as attorney general from 1991 to 1993 during President George H.W. Bush’s administration, succeeds Jeff Sessions. President Donald Trump pushed Sessions out of office last year after railing against his decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.

As the country’s chief law enforcement officer, Barr will oversee the remaining work in Mueller’s investigation into potential coordination between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign and decide how much Congress and the public know about its conclusion. He’ll also take over a department that Trump has publicly assailed, often questioning the integrity and loyalty of those who work there.

Democrats, who largely voted against Barr, said they were concerned about his noncommittal stance on making Mueller’s report public. Barr promised to be as transparent as possible but said he takes seriously the Justice Department regulations that dictate Mueller’s report should be treated as confidential.

Barr’s opponents also pointed to a memo he wrote to Justice officials before his nomination that criticized Mueller’s investigation for the way it was presumably looking into whether Trump had obstructed justice. Barr wrote that Trump could not have obstructed justice by firing former FBI Director James Comey since it was an action the president was

constitutionally entitled to take.

That view has alarmed Democrats, especially since the obstruction inquiry has been central to Mueller’s investigation.

“Mr. Barr’s views about the power of the president are especially troubling in light of his refusal to commit to making the special counsel’s findings and the report publicly available,” said California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary panel.

Feinstein said the attorney general should be “objective” and “clearly committed to protecting the interest of the people, the country and the Constitution.”

Barr will be tasked with restoring some stability after almost two years

of open tension between Trump and Justice officials.

Trump lashed out at Sessions repeatedly before he finally pushed him out in November, and he has also publicly criticized Mueller and his staff, calling the probe a “witch hunt” and suggesting they are out to get him for political reasons. The criticism extended to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller as special counsel. Rosenstein is expected to leave the department shortly after Barr takes office.

Trump has directed some of his strongest vitriol at department officials who were part of the decisions to start investigating his campaign’s Russia ties in 2016 and to clear Democrat Hillary Clinton in an unrelated email probe that same year.

Trump has repeatedly suggested that the agents and officials, many of whom have since left, were conspiring against him. In an interview aired Thursday, fired former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe told CBS’ “60 Minutes” that Justice Department officials discussed bringing the Cabinet together to consider using the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office after Comey’s firing.

Amazon dumps NYC headquarters and its 25,000 jobs

By JOSEPH PISANI and ALEXANDRA OLSON AP Business Writers

NEW YORK — Amazon abruptly dropped plans Thursday for a big new headquarters in New York that would have brought 25,000 jobs to the city, reversing course after politicians and activists objected to the nearly $3 billion in tax breaks promised to what is already one of the world’s richest, most powerful companies.

“We are disappointed to have reached this conclusion — we love New York,” the online giant from Seattle said in a blog post announcing its withdrawal.

The stunning move was a serious blow to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio, who had lobbied intensely to land the project, competing against more than 200 other metropolitan areas across the continent that were practically tripping over each other to offer incentives to Amazon in a bidding war the company stoked.

Cuomo lashed out at fellow New York politicians

over Amazon’s change of heart, saying the project would have helped diversify the city’s economy, cement its status as an emerging tech hub and generate money for schools, housing and transit.

“A small group (of politicians put their own narrow political interests above their community,” he said.

But Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York City’s new liberal firebrand, exulted over Amazon’s pullout.

“Today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers and their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world,” she tweeted, referring to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

The swift unraveling of the project reflected growing antipathy toward large technology companies among liberals and populists who accuse big business of holding down wages and wielding too much political clout, analysts said.

“This all of a sudden became a perfect test case for

all those arguments,” said Joe Parilla, a fellow at the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program.

Amazon ultimately decided it did not want to be drawn into that battle.

Amazon announced in November that it had chosen the Long Island City section of Queens for one of two new headquarters, with the other in Arlington, Virginia. Both would get 25,000 jobs. A third site in Nashville, Tennessee, would get 5,000.

The company planned to spend $2.5 billion building the New York office, choos-

ing the area in part because of its large pool of tech talent. The governor and the mayor had argued that the project would spur economic growth that would pay for the $2.8 billion in state and city incentives many times over.

After Amazon backed out, De Blasio, who according to his press secretary learned of the decision an hour before it was announced, criticized the company for not doing more to try to win over New Yorkers, saying: “You have to be tough to make it in New York City.”

Trump-dominated board to close coal plant, despite his plea

By ADAM BEAM Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. — A federal utility board voted Thursday to close a coalfired power plant in Kentucky, rejecting pleas from President Donald Trump and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and handing the coal industry a defeat in its backyard.

The Tennessee Valley Authority voted to retire the remaining coal-fired unit by December 2020 at the Paradise Fossil Plant along the Green River in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. The decision could put 131 people out of work and will affect an additional 135 people who work in nearby coal mines that supply the plant, including one owned by a major Trump campaign donor.

The board also voted to close the Bull Run Fossil Plant near Oak Ridge, Tennessee, by December 2023.

“It is not about coal. This decision is about economics,” TVA CEO Bill Johnson said. “It’s about keeping rates as low as feasible.”

The decision continues the TVA’s trend of retiring its aging coal-fired power

plants in favor of cheaper and cleaner energy sources, including natural gas. In December, amid heavy rains and several plant outages, the TVA supplied more power from hydroelectricity and renewables than coal for the first time since the 1950s.

The shift has frustrated political leaders in Kentucky, including McConnell.

“We hoped the TVA would listen and be on our side, but instead, they rejected coal … and ignored the impact this decision will have on hundreds of hard working Kentuckians and their families,” McConnell said.

At one time, Muhlenberg County was the nation’s top coal producer, inspiring folk singer John Prine to pen his 1971 standard “Paradise.”

But since then, the coal industry has declined as energy companies look for more efficient ways to produce power.

The Paradise Fossil Plant in Kentucky opened in 1963 and was designed to produce power all the time. Johnson noted much of that energy is wasted during low-usage times, such as early in the morning.

“The overall costs to our customers would be $320 million lower if these

two plants were not in the fleet,” TVA CEO John Thomas told the board.

Environmental groups celebrated the decision, with the Sierra Club applauding the TVA for ignoring “political posturing” to “close these dirty, expensive, and unnecessary coal units.”

“Once again, Trump’s cynical efforts to bail out millionaire coal executives have been overcome by the reality that coal plants can no longer compete,” said Mary Anne Hitt, director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign.

But TVA CEO Bill Johnson said the environmental impact “wasn’t a driving factor” in the decision to close the plant.

Carbon dioxide emissions from the Paradise Fossil Plant have declined from more than 16 million pounds in 2012 to less than 6 million pounds in 2017.

That’s because the plant is burning far less coal as the TVA is not using the plant as much. A TVA environmental impact analysis found retiring the plant would have no significant impact on the environment.

Around the World Prada announces diversity council after blackface outrage MILAN — Italian brand Prada said it is forming a diversity council to “elevate voices of color within the company and fashion industry at large,” a move that follows accusations of racism in the luxury fashion world.

Two Americans, artist Theaster Gates and film director Ava DuVernay, will chair the council, Prada said Wednesday. The group will work to develop “diverse talent” and create more opportunities for students of color, the luxury fashion house said.

Gates said his work “amplifies the voices that have been absent from the broad cultural conversations,” and he was happy to work with Prada to help make the company more “reflective of the world today.”

Prada apologized in December and immediately withdrew bag charms that resembled black monkeys with exaggerated red lips. Critics said the charms recalled the blackface caricatures that long propagated racist stereotypes in the United States.

The fashion world controversy intensified after a similar misstep this month by Gucci. Another prominent African-American director, Spike Lee, said he would wear neither Prada nor Gucci until they included black designers.

“Prada is committed to cultivating, recruiting and retaining diverse talent to contribute to all departments of the company,” said Miuccia Prada, CEO and creative director. “In addition to amplifying voices of color within the industry, we will help ensure that the fashion world is reflective of the world in which we live.”

Israel’s Netanyahu denies agreeing to Holocaust distortion WARSAW, Poland — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday denied suggestions of going along with Holocaust historical revisionism in Poland.

Netanyahu was asked Thursday in Warsaw about the issue by a reporter and replied: “Here I am saying Poles co-operated with the Nazis. I know the history and I don’t whitewash it. I bring it up.”

Last year, Poland and Israel were embroiled in a bitter dispute over a Polish law that made it a crime to blame the Polish nation for Holocaust crimes. Israel saw it as an attempt by Poland to suppress discussion of the killing of Jews by Poles during the wartime German occupation.

The dispute was resolved when Poland softened the law and Netanyahu and his Polish counterpart agreed on a joint declaration stressing the involvement of the Polish resistance in helping Jews. It was seen as a diplomatic coup for Poland but Netanyahu faced criticism from historians in Israel, including at Yad Vashem, for agreeing to a statement that they said distorted history.

Today in History Today is Friday, Feb. 15, the 46th day of 2019. There are 319 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 15, 1961, 73 people, including an 18-member U.S. figure skating team en route to the World Championships in Czechoslovakia, were killed in the crash of a Sabena Airlines Boeing 707 in Belgium.

On this date: In 1564, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa.

In 1798, a feud between two members of the U.S. House of Representatives (meeting in Philadelphia) boiled over as Roger Griswold of Connecticut used a cane to attack Vermont’s Matthew Lyon, who defended himself with a set of tongs. (Griswold was enraged over the House’s refusal to expel Lyon for spitting tobacco juice in his face two weeks earlier; after the two men were separated, a motion to expel them both was defeated.)

In 1898, the U.S. battleship Maine mysteriously blew up in Havana Harbor, killing more than 260 crew members and bringing the United States closer to war with Spain.

In 1933, President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt escaped an assassination attempt in Miami that mortally wounded Chicago Mayor Anton J. Cermak; gunman Giuseppe Zangara was executed more than four weeks later.

In 1952, a funeral was held at Windsor Castle for Britain’s King George VI, who had died nine days earlier.

In 1953, Tenley Albright, 17, became the first American woman to win the world figure skating championship, which was held in Davos, Switzerland.

In 1965, Canada’s new maple-leaf flag, which replaced the “Red Ensign” design, was unfurled in ceremonies in Ottawa. Singer Nat King Cole, 45, died in Santa Monica, California.

In 1989, the Soviet Union announced that the last of its troops had left Afghanistan, after more than nine years of military intervention.

In 1992, a Milwaukee jury found that Jeffrey Dahmer was sane when he killed and mutilated 15 men and boys. (The decision meant that Dahmer, who had already pleaded guilty to the murders, would receive a mandatory life sentence for each count; Dahmer was beaten to death in prison in 1994.)

In 2002, a private funeral was held at Windsor Castle for Britain’s Princess Margaret, who had died six days earlier at age 71.

In 2004, Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the Daytona 500 on the same track where his father was killed three years earlier.

In 2006, Vice President Dick Cheney accepted blame for accidentally shooting a hunting companion, calling it “one of the worst days of my life,” but was defiantly unapologetic in a Fox News Channel interview about not publicly disclosing the incident until the next day.

Ten years ago: President Hugo Chavez (OO’-goh CHAH’-vez) of Venezuela won a referendum to eliminate term limits, paving the way for him to run again in 2012. The Western Conference beat the East 146-119 in the NBA All-Star game. Matt Kenseth won the rain-shortened Daytona 500.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama signed measures lifting the federal debt limit and restoring benefits that had been cut for younger military retirees. Michael Dunn was convicted in Jacksonville, Florida, of attempted murder for shooting into a carful of teenagers after an argument over loud music, but jurors deadlocked on the charge of first-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis. (Dunn was found guilty of first-degree murder in a second trial and sentenced to life in prison without parole.)

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was caught on security video punching his then-fiancee (now wife) Janay Palmer inside a casino elevator in Atlantic City, New Jersey. (Rice was charged with assault; he entered an intervention program to have the charges dropped. He has not played again in the NFL.) At the Sochi Olympics, the U.S. hockey team won a shootout to defeat Russia 3-2 in the marquee game of the preliminary round.

One year ago: The last of the bodies of the 17 victims of a school shooting in Florida were removed from the building after authorities analyzed the crime scene; 13 wounded survivors were still hospitalized. In response to the Florida school shooting, President Donald Trump, in an address to the nation, promised to “tackle the difficult issue of mental health,” but avoided any mention of guns. Nikolas Cruz, the suspect in the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was ordered held without bond at a brief court hearing. Chicago Cubs star Anthony Rizzo left spring training in Arizona for his home in Parkland, Florida, to offer support in the wake of the deadly shooting at his former high school. American Mikaela Shiffrin used a hard-charging final run to win the women’s giant slalom at the Winter Olympics in South Korea.

What a long, strange trip it’s been

I

f there’s one lesson I’ve learned this past year, it’s that sometimes you have to change your life, and sometimes your life changes you.

Last August, just five months ago, I packed my entire life into my car and drove approximately 4,500 miles from Tallahassee, Florida, to Nikiski, Alaska.

To say it was the biggest decision of my life would be an understatement. To say it was a decision made on a whim would be true as well – to an extent.

I had lived in Florida my entire life, with the last five years being spent in Tallahassee. I was a year out of college, and I knew the next chapter of my life was already being written. I was getting the same feeling living in Tallahassee that had gnawed at me before moving out of my hometown. It was time for me to move on.

I’m a wanderer at heart, and staying in any place for too long has always given me a strange anxiety, a sense of stagnation.

It was like I was missing out on something, but I didn’t know what it was.

I was also terrified of what the next chapter would look like, mainly because I had no idea myself. Luckily, when I actually decided to leave, I realized I had always known where to go.

The problem was just that I had forgotten.

Part of me decided a long time ago that I would end up in Alaska.

The seed was planted early on as I grew up hearing stories of my uncle carving ice into incredible sculptures and building schools in remote villages whose names I’d never be able to pronounce.

When that same uncle bought me a plane ticket up to Alaska as a high school graduation gift, the stories became reality, and reality exceeded all expectations.

I camped under Denali for Memorial Day weekend, fished for halibut in Homer, watched the Mount Marathon runners in Seward and got lost on the Williwaw Lakes trail. The last one was a lot more fun than it sounds, except the part where our dog got in a fight with a porcupine … and the part where we stood face-toface with a giant bull moose.

A couple years later I visited Alaska again for my cousin Cara’s wedding, and as the plane was touching down in AnchorSee OUT, page A8

Homer boys get past Mariners Nikiski girls take down Wasilla

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Central boys keep adding to the deepening battle for Southcentral Conference supremacy that appears headed to a tremendous clash in March’s conference tournament.

The Kardinals used a secondhalf rally to defeat Homer on Thursday night at home 44-40, yet again pulling through in a tight matchup to jump to 5-0 in conference play (11-6 overall).

Homer dropped to 4-3 in conference (8-11 overall).

Kardinals senior Adam Trujillo helped seal the victory with two made free throws with 17.7 seconds left that forced a twopossession game over Homer.

Prior to that, junior Andrew Bezdecny laid in a bucket with 1:25 remaining to put Kenai up 40-37.

But as many Southcentral Conference matchups this year, this one was close all the way.

“I told our guys this is one of the hardest fought games that we’ve won,” said Kenai head coach Ken Felchle. “(Homer has) just tough kids. When the ball is on the ground, they’re going to go get it, and that translates to everything else that works on the court.”

Bezdecny finished with 18 points to lead Kenai, while Trujillo added 12. One of Bezdecny’s biggest shots of the game came at the third-quarter buzzer, when the 6-foot-2 forward buried a 3-pointer from the top of the key to break a 31-all tie.

It helped breathe energy into the team and the home crowd.

“That sparked something big for us,” Bezdecny said. “We talked in the second half that we had to work harder, and we were able to do that.”

Kenai has had its share of close battles this season — the team’s first at the Class 3A level

— including a 48-47 win over Homer in December and two single-digit wins over Nikiski.

Felchle said as the end of the season approaches and the March Madness hype continues to build, those close matchups will reach a fever pitch.

“It’s going to be a dogfight,” he said. “You’d better come ready to play.”

Clayton Beachy paced the Mariners with nine points while teammate Ethan Anderson finished with eight.

“We just couldn’t get the ball to go in the basket,” Homer head coach Weston Carroll said. “The guys wanted to blame the refs but it wasn’t their fault. Things just didn’t go our way. It’s a frustrat-

ing way to end it.”

Homer’s last good chance to catch Kenai went for naught when Beachy was called for traveling with 26 seconds left with the Mariners down three points.

The resulting possession led to fouling and Trujillo icing the game with free throws.

The Mariners took the early lead and were able to build it to 24-15 at one point.

Trailing 24-18 at halftime, the Kards began creating space and getting looks under the rim in the third quarter and Bezdecny began drawing fouls.

He drained all four free throws in the quarter and was joined in the scoring binge by junior Braedon Pitsch, who drilled a

corner 3 with 2:56 left in the quarter to cut the deficit to 2523, then later broke a 29-all tie with a layup on a slick assist from Evan Stockton with 1:11 to go in the quarter. Pitsch finished with seven points.

Bezdecny’s trey at the thirdquarter buzzer capped a 9-2 run

by Kenai to end the frame, but Homer wasn’t done yet. Beachy’s full-court drive with 6:46 left in the fourth quarter cut the lead to 36-35, then Beachy hit a foul shot with 4:00 to play to tie it at 36 apiece.

Connor Felchle’s jumper with 3:19 left put Kenai ahead again for good, and Bezdecny laid in a shot with 1:25 left to See HOOPS, page A8

Voices of the Kenai takes bottom-up approach to climate change

I

’ve had the privilege recently to hear what other residents think about changes they have witnessed in their lifetimes here on the Kenai Peninsula.

Working closely with a small group of professional colleagues to figure out a different way of approaching climate change, we realized there are many stories to be heard, if we would hold some “listening sessions.” So we have launched a modest effort to capture those stories, dubbed Voices of the Kenai.

Besides me, our steering committee includes Branden Bornemann (Kenai Watershed Forum), Willow Hetrick (Chugach Regional Resource Commission), Syverine Bentz (Kachemak Bay Research Reserve) and Bjorn Olson (Kachemak Bay Conservation Society). Three of our group are lifelong residents themselves, having grown up in Homer, Moose Pass and Seward.

This week we were at the Snug Harbor Senior Haven in Cooper Landing. Last month we were hosted at the Sea Otter Community Center in Seldovia. Each event was attended by at least a couple dozen engaged and informed residents of those communities.

From one woman who has lived

in Cooper Landing for more than a half century, we heard that nearby alpine slopes like Cecil Rhode Mountain really had fewer shrubs and trees when she was young, an observation consistent with scientific data.

Roman Dial at the Alaska Pacific University and his colleagues published two journal articles that estimate tree line has risen 1 meter per year and shrub line 2.7 meters per year in the Kenai Mountains since the 1950s.

One longtime resident commented there is a lot less wildlife than she remembers 40 years ago, when bears, moose, porcupines, coyotes and wolves were frequently sighted from her car bumping down the Seward Highway.

Another said Kenai Lake doesn’t freeze as often as it used to, and algae now grows in coves of that lake where it had once been clear.

Several Cooper Landing residents reminisced about how they used to go “wooding” (firewood harvesting) in their trucks on Kenai Lake. Driving on the lake, skiing, snowmachining and other forms of recreation on Kenai Lake ice have diminished greatly in recent decades.

These observations are con-

R efuge N otebook J ohn M orton sistent with statistical models generated by the Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning at the University of Alaska Fairbanks that forecast winters in Cooper Landing, defined by average monthly temperatures below freezing, will soon go from five months per year to only two.

This is a different way to approach sharing information about climate change. Previous local workshops that I’ve been part of over the years were well-organized efforts by universities and agencies, but focused more on providing information than gathering information.

The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge hosted Climate Friendly Refuges at the Kenai Visitor Center in 2011. The Chugach National Forest and University of Alaska Anchorage hosted Classrooms for Climate. The National Park Service hosted Climate Change Café and Climate Change Scenarios Planning.

The Chugach Regional Resource Commission hosted a Climate Change Workshop focused on Alaska Native communities in our area. Most recently, the League of Women Voters sponsored Climate Change in our Backyard here at the Kenai Peninsula College. I would characterize these efforts as taking a top-down approach.

Voices of the Kenai is taking a bottom-up approach. Michael Opheim, environmental coordinator with the Seldovia Village Tribe said, “I thought the discussions had were probably better than a better part of group discussions I’ve been involved in at the conferences I have attended over the years. I don’t recall the last time I have seen that many people attending a presentation like that.”

Michael is taking it to the next level, agreeing to work with Bret “Hig” Higman (Ground Truth Trekking) to create a local working group on climate change.

We are treating these observations almost as a legacy. With a little funding from the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative, Bjorn Olson is putting on his other hat to record these listening sessions as an award-winning filmmaker. His short film, “Alaska Thaw,” was the 2018 Winner of

the Witnessing Change Video Competition held at the Colorado Environmental Film Festival.

One of the expected products of Voices of the Kenai will be production of a short film that highlights the changes collectively seen from the vantage of the Kenai Peninsula.

In April, our group hopes to go to Port Graham and Nanwalek. This fall, we’ll head over to Seward. Each session is expected to take on its own flavor, driven by participants, the local issues and the local hosts who help set this up.

One of the unexpected perks of this effort is that our group members are now honorary members of the Cooper Landing Sexy Senior Dumpster Cleaners.

I think this may mean that we need to go back to Cooper Landing and help pick up trash along the roads. But this is a small price to pay to hear the stories and voices of the Kenai.

It removed any doubts I still had about this move being the right decision.

Everything made sense, and everything felt right.

Harvick, Logano win races

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano won the Daytona 500 qualifying races in a pair of Ford sweeps that have the new Mustang positioned for a strong showing in “The Great American Race.”

Harvick won the first of the 150-mile qualifying races Thursday night that set the field for NASCAR’s showcase event. Logano used a last-lap pass for the lead in the second one.

Both Harvick and Logano led podium sweeps for Ford, which this year is racing the Mustang in NASCAR’s top series. The qualifying races set the starting lineup for Sunday’s season-opening Daytona 500, and Ford drivers locked down the second through fourth rows.

William Byron and Alex Bowman, in Chevrolets for Hendrick Motorsports, swept the top two spots in time trials last week and represent the youngest starting row in Daytona 500 his-

tory. Byron is 21 and Bowman is 25.

Harvick’s victory was uneventful beyond Jimmie Johnson’s involvement in his second wreck of Speedweeks.

Logano, meanwhile, was fourth on the final lap when he pulled out of line to try for the win. The reigning NASCAR champion got a solid push from Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney to move to the front and earn his spot alongside Harvick in Sunday’s race.

“Cool to see a couple of Mustangs in victory lane already,” Logano said. “The big one’s still Sunday. It’s a confidence builder for everyone.”

Logano was followed by Clint Bowyer and Aric Almirola as Mustang drivers went 1-2-3 in both races. Harvick led Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Paul Menard in the first race for the initial Ford sweep.

The tally represents four different teams, with Stewart-Haas Racing flexing its power to put Harvick, Bowyer and Almirola up front in

the Daytona 500. Stenhouse represents Roush Fenway Racing, Logano drives for Roger Penske and Menard for the Wood Brothers.

All have been ordered by Ford leaders to work together and win the Daytona 500.

“Everybody at Ford Performance always makes it well known that they expect us to work together, do everything we can to get a blue oval in victory lane, especially the Mustang now that we’re running it,” Stenhouse said. “We’re getting, I would say, pretty good at it. This is a race that they’re all circling every year for us to win.”

Toyota has so far been shut out of Speedweeks as Johnson won last weekend’s exhibition race in a Hendrick Chevrolet.

The highest-starting Toyota drivers will be Denny Hamlin and Matt DiBenedetto in the fifth row.

Parker Kligerman earned the transfer spot into the 500 during the first qualifying race, while Brendan Gaughan earned the final slot in the 40-car field.

pad the lead.

Nikiski girls 57, Wasilla 49 The host Bulldogs of Class 3A took down the perennial Class 4A powerhouse Warriors in nonconference action Thursday night at home.

Wasilla led 31-26 at the half, but Nikiski won the third quarter 17-8 and the fourth quarter 14-10.

Behind veteran coaching presence Jeannie HebertTruax, the Warriors have won five of the last eight 4A state titles and have played for the crown in each of the last three years, only losing to Dimond last March.

It gives Thursday’s win that much more meaning for first-year head coach Rustin Hitchcock.

“The girls were extremely coachable and they executed everything we worked on in practice,” Hitchcock said. “We countered everything (Wasilla) tried to do perfectly. We had great (energy), I feel like they got up for the game but they also funneled it through productivity.”

Bethany Carstens had 22 for the Bulldogs, while Kelsey Clark had 12 points and Emma Wik added 11.

For Wasilla, Bella Hays led the way with 14 points, while Diondra Lawhead pitched in 10.

Wasilla has been without star player Olivia Davies, who was sidelined earlier this year with an injury, but Hitchcock said with HebertTruax patrolling the sidelines, Wasilla will always be tough.

“They still have Jeannie over there coaching, so I can be nervous about that because she’s going to figure things out,” he said.

Nikiski will host Seward today in a Southcentral Conference showdown.

Blossom’s hot shooting led to an 18-7 SoHi lead, which grew to 33-9 at halftime. In the second quarter, it was Tuisaula with the hot hand, as she knocked in four buckets for nine points.

Soldotna boys 52, Palmer 45 The Soldotna boys used a late surge to power by the Moose in an NLC matchup Thursday night in Soldotna.

Palmer led 30-29 entering the fourth quarter but the Stars received a boost from David Michael to outscore the Moose 23-15 in the final eight minutes to escape with the win. Michael scored eight of his 12 points in the fourth to lead SoHi. Jersey Truesdell matched Michael with 12 points and teammate Ray Chumley chipped in 10.

Susitna Valley girls 41, Nikolaevsk 29 The Rams used a 20-7 run in the second quarter to notch a victory at the Susitna Valley Crowley Classic.

Susitna Valley boys 71, Nikolaevsk 57 The Rams defeated the Warriors in the first round of the Susitna Valley Crowley Classic.

Isaak Fefelov poured in 25 points to lead the Warriors, while Lukah Kalugin had 14, Damian Nikitenko had nine, Michael Trail had four, Justin Trail had three and JD Mumey had two.

Pelicans topple Thunder

By The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Julius Randle capped a 33-point, 11-rebound performance with three clutch baskets in the final minutes, and the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 131-122 on Thursday night despite losing All-Star Anthony Davis to a shoulder injury after the first half.

Davis was in the game when the first half ended, but kept his left arm still as he walked to the locker room shortly after fouling Nerlens Noel on an attempted shot block with his

left hand in the final second of the second quarter. When the second half began, the Pelicans announced that Davis was out of the remainder of the game with a left shoulder injury, putting his availability for this weekend’s All-Star Game in doubt.

KNICKS 106, HAWKS 91 ATLANTA — Dennis Smith Jr. scored 19 points and New York snapped a franchiseworst, 18-game losing streak with a victory over Atlanta.

The Knicks ended their longest skid within a single season with their first victory since

Jan. 4 at the Los Angeles Lakers. New York, with the Eastern Conference’s worst record and second-worst overall, had dropped 26 of 27.

MAGIC 127, HORNETS 89 ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando ended a 13-game losing streak to Charlotte behind 21 points from reserve Terrence Ross.

The Magic have won five straight for the first time in more than three years. Nikola Vucevic had his fifth straight double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Aaron Gordon added 10 points and 10 rebounds. Jonathan Isaac scored 16 points.

Crossword

Readers advocate respect for opposing viewpoints be like my husband who HAS had conversations with them to no avail and realizes it’s futile.

-- BEEN THERE AND STILL THERE DEAR BEEN THERE: My readers used “Open-Minded’s” letter as an opportunity to have a forum about Abigail Van Buren respect, love and civility.

I found their comments both valid and refreshing. Read on: DEAR ABBY: It is interesting that openminded people are often open-minded only if you agree with them and are otherwise completely dogmatic. Neither party will ever convince the other that they are wrong. The solution: Don’t talk about the problem issue.

We have a relative who holds office in a political party opposite to ours. We have a tacit agreement to simply never talk politics, and we get along great. Life is short, and there’s nothing more important than family and friends. Agree to disagree!

-- CALM IN KENTUCKY DEAR ABBY: When people have an oppos-

ing point of view, it doesn’t mean they hate you or are ignorant. Our culture is increasingly unable to engage in reasoned dialogue. Instead, people resort to shouting down reasonable thought and civil debate. My wife and I disagree over substantive issues, but we cope.

Our society needs to work toward a renewal of civility.

-- NO HATE IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: BOTH women are entitled to their beliefs and opinions. It’s commendable that they discussed their differences. Now the question is, “How do I respond to someone important in my life with whom I disagree?” The answer is RESPECT. Rather than demean each other, the women should choose to find some solid ground on which to build a relationship.

To advise “Open-Minded” to consider leaving her boyfriend because of his mother’s beliefs shocked me. In my family there is an array of different views. We all know where we stand and steer clear of the bombshells. We have chosen to love each other, accept each other as is and be as close as we can despite our differences. It takes some work, but it’s worth it. We have even been able to joke with one another in a good-natured way. THAT is love and respect at its best, and more of what our world could use today.

STAY HEALTHY Dear Heloise: There is so much written about cholesterol these days that I don’t know what to think anymore. What is a healthy amount for the average adult?

-- George and Beverly Y., Salina, Kan. George and Beverly, your doctor will do a blood test to determine your lipid profile, which will show the levels in your blood of LDL (lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol), also called the “bad” cholesterol; HDL (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), also called the “good” cholesterol; and triglycerides, which are fats in the blood from foods we eat -- they are stored in fat cells throughout the body.

You HDL should always be higher than your LDL, but talk to your doctor about your cholesterol levels, what the numbers mean and how to lower your cholesterol levels.

-- Heloise CHOOSING A PET Dear Heloise: My husband wants to get our 4-year-old son a dog, but I think that’s way too young to have a pet. What do you think?

-- Renee E., La Grange, Ky. Renee, you might want to wait until your son is old enough to help with the pet’s care.

Pets should never be given as gifts to anyone.

Experts also say you should take into consideration the size of the animal, the yard size and the expense of pet ownership. Never get a dog or cat and leave it outdoors. A pet is meant to be primarily an indoor family member. When you finally decide to get a pet, look first at animal shelters to save an animal’s life. Then head to the vet for a checkup to be sure your new pet is up to date with its shots and to see if it needs to be spayed or neutered.

DEAR ABBY: I’m writing regarding “OpenMinded in the South” (Nov. 24), the Christian woman who’s a supporter of the LGBTQ community. She’s concerned about her boyfriend’s mother’s inability to see her viewpoint and the effect it would have on future kids. I experienced something nearly identical. My boyfriend’s grandfather is an ordained pastor, and they raised their kids in a conservative home. After a few conversations with them about LGBTQ people and other issues, we received a six-page letter detailing the “sins” we were committing.

Fast-forward 20 years: I get along with my inlaws fabulously. In fact, the grandfather has said I’m his favorite! We don’t agree on pretty much anything politically, but I do still voice my opinion if the family says something I don’t agree with.

My husband and I have two kids who often hear the in-laws say some judgmental things, and it’s a great segue to a conversation with my kids afterward. They understand that not everyone is going to have the same beliefs, and even though we don’t agree with the in-laws on these issues, we love them dearly. It definitely isn’t a reason to end a good relationship.

As to “Open-Minded’s” boyfriend not being up for the argument with his mom, he could
