In the news Power-sharing among options Alaska House is exploring JUNEAU — An Alaska House Democratic leader says members will need to wrestle with whether a power-sharing agreement is the best option for organizing the chamber. Rep. Bryce Edgmon says lawmakers have explored other options and none so far has materialized. A group of eight representatives has been looking at power-sharing arrangements in other states. Edgmon says other scenarios are also floating around. Tuesday marked the 22nd day of session, matching the longest period it’s taken to elect a permanent speaker. The prior distinction was in 1981. The organization that year was tenuous and the speaker chosen on Day 22 was later replaced. Edgmon said the House did not come off well during a failed speaker vote Monday, which was initiated amid ongoing efforts to try to organize.
Forest Service reschedules meeting on Alaska timber sales JUNEAU — The U.S. Forest Service has rescheduled a public meeting about planned timber sales in southeast Alaska. Alaska’s Energy Desk reports the federal agency has scheduled the meeting for Feb. 20 in Klawock on Prince of Wales Island after it was announced and then canceled within a week last month. The agency had worked on the timber sales project, which could take place on Prince of Wales Island, during the partial government shutdown, prompting criticism by environmental groups. Buck Lindekugel, an attorney with the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, says the agency should not have been working on the project, but he’s pleased the Forest Service is taking more time consider his objections. — Associated Press

State of the Union
Trump calls for end of resistance politics By JULIE PACE and CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Facing a divided Congress for the first time, President Donald Trump on Tuesday called on Washington to reject “the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution.” He warned emboldened Democrats that “ridiculous partisan investigations” into his administration and businesses could hamper a surging American economy. Trump’s appeals for bipartisanship in his State of the Union address clashed with the rancorous atmosphere he has helped cultivate in the nation’s capital — as well as the desire of most Democrats to block his agenda during his next two years in office. Their opposition was on vivid display as Democratic congresswomen in the audience formed a sea of white in a nod to early 20th-century

State employment down slightly By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Statewide, employment in December was down .3 percent, or 900 jobs, from December 2017, according to new data from the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Retail, manufacturing and professional and business services each lost 400 jobs while information and financial activities each fell by 200, the state’s press release said. Health care grew with 400 jobs. Transportation, warehousing and utilities also added 200 jobs, as did the hospitality, mining, construction and logging industries. See JOBS, page A3

Advocates for the Alaska Marine Highway System are prepping for budget cuts. House representatives held an informational meeting about the economic impacts of the AMHS in anticipation of the governor’s 2020 budget proposal, which is expected to contain significant cuts to spending across the board. The governor’s office is expected to release the budget by Feb. 13. “Given the scope of the anticipated cuts that are being discussed, we decided to hold this meeting,” said Rep. Louise Stutes, R-Kodiak. One option that could move the AMHS forward would be to turn it into a public corporation. J. Robert Venables, the Executive Director for the Southeast Conference and member of the AMHS Reform subcommittee, said at the meeting on Tuesday that turning the AMHS into a public corporation would be the best way to provide stability and allow the system to strategically balance the issues it is facing, including declining traffic due to more people opting to travel by air. “We need to be a step away from the political treadmill that keeps going on and have an executive board that can bring expertise,” Venables said. “(It could) actually look at some strategic partnering that will allow job creation.

Sullivan questions Facebook over ivory sales policies By MOLLIE BARNES Juneau Empire
Alaska U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan targeted Facebook Tuesday in an open letter discussing questionable offenses by the social media giant against Alaska Natives selling art on Facebook Marketplace. Late last week, Sullivan said in a press release, he was made aware of the policy issue by the Juneaubased Sealaska Heritage Institute, which informed him that Sitka skin sewer Robert Miller posted a sea otter hat for sale on Facebook and received a message saying

it was not approved because it didn’t meet Facebook’s
commerce policies. Facebook has since indicated the
removal of these ads was a mistake. However, Sullivan is requesting greater clarity on the scope of prohibited items for Alaska Native craftsmen and their customers around the world. “The Alaska Native community has for thousands of years used animal products for survival, subsistence, and as a key means of cultural expression,” Sullivan wrote in his letter. “Inhibiting the sale of these items not only limits the cultural exchange Facebook has empowered the Alaska Native community to share, but also threatens one of the key economic opportunities
in remote Alaska villages.” Last February, Sullivan worked with Alaska Native artists to resolve an issue with Etsy — an online marketplace of crafts and handmade items — that initially refused to sell Alaska Native artists selling products or artwork with sealskin, sea otter and ivory. Previously in October 2016, he convened a Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee field hearing at the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention to discuss a series of reported problems and confusion surrounding See SALES, page A2

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Anchorage police are investigating the shooting death of a woman along a downtown street. Police just after 11 p.m. Monday received a report of shots fired in the 1100 block of Cordova Street. Officers found a woman
dead in a vehicle. She had been shot in the upper body. The woman’s name was not immediately released. Police say they have no suspect information to release. They’re asking for information from the public, including surveillance video.

recent government shutdown and previewed a fresh defense against Democrats as they ready a round of investigations into every aspect of his administration. “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation,” he declared. Lawmakers in the cavernous House chamber sat largely silent. Looming over the president’s address was a fastapproaching Feb. 15 deadline to fund the government and avoid another shutdown. Democrats have refused to acquiesce to his demands for a border wall, and Republicans are increasingly unwilling to shut down the government to help him fulfill his signature campaign pledge. Nor does the GOP support the president’s plan to declare a national emergency if Congress won’t fund the wall. Wary of publicly highlighting those intraparty divisions, Trump made no mention of an emergency declaration in his remarks, though he did offer a lengthy defense of his call for a border wall. But he delivered no ultimatums about what it would take for him to sign legislation to keep the government open. “I am asking you to defend our very dangerous southern border out of love and devotion to our fellow citizens and to our country,” he said. Trump devoted much of his speech to foreign policy, another area where Republicans have increasingly distanced themselves from the White House. He announced details of a second meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, outlining a summit on Feb. 27 and 28 in Vietnam. The two met last summer in Singapore, though that meeting only led to a vaguely worded commitment by the North to denuclearize. As he stood before lawmakers, the president was surrounded by symbols of his emboldened political opposition. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was praised by

Democrats for her hard-line negotiating during the shutdown, sat behind Trump as he spoke. And several senators running for president were also in the audience, including Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey. Another Democratic star, Stacey Abrams, will deliver the party’s response to Trump. Abrams narrowly lost her bid in November to become America’s first black female governor, and party leaders are aggressively recruiting her to run for U.S. Senate from Georgia. In excerpts released ahead of Abrams’ remarks, she calls the shutdown a political stunt that “defied every tenet of fairness and abandoned not just our people, but our values.” Trump’s address amounted to an opening argument for his re-election campaign. Polls show he has work to do, with his approval rating falling to just 34 percent after the shutdown, according to a recent survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. One bright spot for the president has been the economy, which has added jobs for 100 straight months. He said the U.S. has “the hottest economy anywhere in the world.” He said, “The only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous
partisan investigations” an apparent swipe at the special counsel investigation into ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign, as well as the upcoming congressional investigations. The diverse Democratic caucus, which includes a bevy of women, sat silently for much of Trump’s speech. But they leapt to their feet when he noted there are “more women in the workforce than ever before.” The increase is due to population growth — and not something Trump can credit to any of his policies. Turning to foreign policy, another area where Republicans have increasingly been willing to distance themselves from the president, Trump defended his decisions to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria and Afghanistan. “Great nations do not fight endless wars,” he said, adding
that the U.S. is working with allies to “destroy the remnants” of the Islamic State group and that he has “accelerated” efforts to reach a settlement in Afghanistan. IS militants have lost territory since Trump’s surprise announcement in December that he was pulling U.S. forces out, but military officials warn the fighters could regroup within six months to a year of the Americans leaving. Several leading GOP lawmakers have sharply criticized his plans to withdraw from Syria, as well as from Afghanistan. Trump’s guests for the speech include Anna Marie Johnson, a woman whose life sentence for drug offenses was commuted by the president, and Joshua Trump, a sixth-grade student from Wilmington, Delaware, who has been bullied over his last name. They sat with first lady Melania Trump during the address.

and the marine highway system,” Venables said. “For 20 years we’ve seen major changes be put into place with each administration. That creates a problem.” Over the last couple of years, the budget for AMHS has dropped from about $100 million to the $80-million range. “As with many programs, you get to a certain point and you have to cut programs,” Venables said. “With the marine highway system, you get to a certain point where you have to tie up boats. It all de-
pends on what that number is and what the vision and philosophy is. We are all waiting for the shoe to drop.” He said he doesn’t think the system’s budget could get much lower than the level it’s currently at without dropping a boat from service. The AMHS provides vital transportation and shipping services to remote communities across Alaska. Juneau is the top-served port in Southeast and Southwest Alaska, according to data by the McDowell Group in a presentation at the House meeting from a 2016 report.

There’s ways that we can partner with the private sector.” It’s been two years since the AMHS closed the bars on the vessels. When lawmakers looked into bringing the bars back in the past, Rep. Steve Thompson, R-Fairbanks, said they found it wasn’t possible to hire a vendor to run the bar only during peak season in
the summer. “Bartenders and gift shop operators were making $105,000 a piece,” Thompson said at the meeting. “I hope you can bring some sense back into this.” Venables said at the meeting that there’s a misalignment between labor and management in the system, and an executive board through a public corporation would empower labor to be part of the solution for stability. A public corporation would provide additional value to be able getting into more of an airline economic model, he said. “We need to create distance between government

What Others Say
Change to electoral college tallying would put party before state Before the 2018 midterm elections,
Colorado was thought to be a purple state, with divided party control of the governorship and the two branches of the legislature. After, it became one of 14 states, up from eight, where Democrats control all three. As the new legislative session got underway, however, we heard some state Democrats vow to work in the interests of all Coloradans, even Republicans, and we were contented. On Monday, the state Senate approved a bill on a party-line vote that would award all nine of Colorado’s electoral college votes to whomever wins the national popular vote. Senate Bill 42 was titled the “National Popular Vote” act but it might just as well have been called “Hillary Clinton Won In 2016 And You Know It.” In practice, this bill would mean that when Coloradans cast votes for president in 2020, only votes for the national winner will count. If 90 percent voted to re-elect Trump and 10 percent voted for Kamala Harris, and Harris won the popular vote nationwide, Colorado’s Trump votes would be moot. Now flip the script and assume a Republican wins the national popular vote. Does this worry Democrats? Apparently not, because they believe a Republican will never win the popular vote again, just as no one expects the Spanish Inquisition. Fittingly, SB 42 is part of a compact between states to give their electoral votes this way. Populous blue states have approved it, such as California, New York, and Illinois, along with 10 more, plus D.C., for a total of 172 electoral votes. Colorado would make it 181. If or when that number reaches 271, the electoral college will cease to bear on presidential elections. The nation will become more directly democratic for its highest office. Then perhaps we will abolish the U.S. Senate, which certainly is not democratic because it gives small states such as Colorado as much say in the nation’s affairs as New York gets. And this is the real problem with Monday’s vote. It puts party before state. One Republican after another in the Colorado Senate sounded alarms Monday and was ignored. A Republican offered an amendment that would have spelled out that this could result in Coloradans voting for one candidate and the state giving its votes to another. It failed. Another proposed an amendment saying Colorado would give its electoral votes to whomever California chooses. That, too, did not pass. Sen. Bob Gardner, a Republican from Colorado Springs, said Colorado might just as well abolish state boundaries and let the president appoint the governor. Sen. Mike Foote, a Democrat from Centennial and the bill’s sponsor, saw no problem. “What this stands for is one person, one vote,” he said, according to Colorado Politics. It may sound American, but the Founders did not think so. They despised parties. They called them factions and thought they were akin to leprosy. They probably were not wrong, but they went ahead and divided into them anyway, as humans are wont to do. And there was something else they thought was on a par with measles: direct national elections. They would pose the danger of a leveling spirit, they believed - which is why they were building a republic weighted against it. “The evils we experience flow from the excess of democracy,” said Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, looking to the early experience of direct election of state legislators. “The people do not want virtue, but are the dupes of pretended patriots.” — The Durango Herald (Colorado), Jan. 30
From football to politics, ignoring the hype
Well, I did it. I boycotted the Super Bowl, which was not a major sacrifice, because the game, by all accounts, was a huge bore. I decided not to watch in protest of the NFL owners blackballing Colin Kaepernick, refusing to hire him because he had the audacity to dissent. The democracy we claim to be certainly allows someone to refuse to stand for the national anthem, but just because a demagogue president decided to exploit the jingoism and racism of his base, the rich guys who control the teams have marched in lockstep and shut out Kaepernick. That is totally un-American, which explains why this football fan avoided the live broadcast. I am one less minuscule number for the ratings, one less penny added to the wealth of the same oligarchs who rule sports and everything else. Speaking of the demagogue president, and speaking of predictable farce, I also have every intention of tuning out tonight’s State of the Union address. Under the best of circumstances, SOTU (which is what we inside-the-Beltway hipsters call it) is contrived grandiosity, where the participants pretend that they like each other even though they spend their every moment trying to do each other in. And this would hardly qualify as the best of circumstances. We have a president who is hellbent
on dividing this union and largely has succeeded. He will then use his State of the Union bully pulpit to try to bully the assembled politicians into adopting his reactionary agenda. Bob Franken His latest debacle was the government shutdown over his insistence on a ridiculous southern border wall. He ran into a wall named Nancy Pelosi, as in Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Imagine how ridiculous it will be when Pelosi sits right behind him, presumably stone-faced as he spews out his foolishness. That has to be one of the toughest jobs in the world. It won’t happen, but I have this fantasy where Pelosi makes goofy faces as Vice President Mike Pence casts his adoring eyes on Trump. Perhaps Pence can conjure up his famous steely glare aimed at anyone in the audience below who misbehaves. The “Pence Pout” would be the same one he fixed on North Korean soldiers as he glowered across the border at the 38th parallel. The minefields there don’t compare with the ones here. The enemy in this case will be Democrats, who will have to decide whether to also register their disgust or sit expressionless. Of course, some
simply will not show up. Through the magic of recorded video, we can watch later, after experts have sanitized the speech of all the lies and distortions. That way, we can keep the ratings down. Members of the House and Senate in attendance can bring along guests to act as human props. In the past, they have included heroes and villains invited in order to make a political statement. You can bet that none of the Democrats will bring Ralph Northam. He’s the somewhat liberal governor of Virginia who was suddenly outed for allegedly including on his medical-school yearbook page a photo of someone in blackface standing beside someone costumed in the hood and robes of a Ku Klux Klansman. Northam inspired a rare bit of bipartisanship: Republican and Democratic leaders were nearly unanimous in their calls for him to resign. He had beaten his opponent, Ed Gillespie, by nine points in the past election. Gillespie must be enraged at his opposition-research people for missing that one during the campaign. Speaking of missing, I’ll say again that this is the year to miss the State of the Union speech, at least until someone has sifted through all the falsehoods that accompany this sad circus. Coming just a few days after the Super Bowl, it will be another symbol of American excess that is best avoided.
News and Politics
Beto says he’ll decide on 2020 by month’s end By STEVE PEOPLES and WILL WEISSERT Associated Press
NEW YORK — Breaking months of near-silence about his political future, Democrat Beto O’Rourke said Tuesday that he would announce his decision about a 2020 presidential run “before the end of the month” and suggested he’s leaning toward it. The former Texas congressman, who found political stardom in his unsuccessful Senate bid last fall, opened up about a potential 2020 run in a conversation with a bigger star, Oprah Winfrey, during a taping of her program “Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations from Times Square.” “I have been thinking about running for president,” O’Rourke told Winfrey as the packed audience cheered. The 46-year-old Democrat cited his desire to help unify the country. “I’m so excited at the prospect of being able to play that role.” O’Rourke dazzled Democrats last year by nearly defeating Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in the country’s largest red state. In recent weeks, however, his presidential prospects have been overshadowed by the generally wellreceived 2020 campaign launches of Sens. Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Cory Booker of New Jersey. His comments Tuesday offered a powerful reminder that the Democratic field is far from set.
Winfrey, who has flirted with a potential run of her own, appeared to encourage O’Rourke to run during the wide-ranging interview that spanned nearly an hour. “What’s it going to take for you to say, ‘Yes, I’m doing it?’” she asked. The decision, O’Rourke said, would really be up to his family. He has three children under the age of 13. “For the last seven years, my family hasn’t seen me,” he said. He added, “That’s the far more important responsibility.” Winfrey herself has been the center of 2020 speculation, though she has said she doesn’t plan to run. She remains an influential figure in Democratic politics, however. Her endorsement of Barack Obama was pivotal to his 2008 campaign. She also took the rare step of campaigning for Democrat Stacey Abrams ahead of her near-upset in the Georgia governor’s race. Winfrey’s show blurs the line between politics and pop culture. The lineup on Tuesday featured actors Bradley Cooper and Michael B. Jordan and philanthropist Melinda Gates, underscoring the sense of celebrity that surrounds O’Rourke. O’Rourke’s low profile in recent weeks has taken curious turns. He treated Instagram followers to a glimpse inside his mouth during a teeth cleaning while trying to decry
the Trump administration’s border wall. He also recently traveled in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado, but his meandering online posts documenting the journey highlighted things like the open-face roast beef sandwich he had for lunch rather than offering hints about how he’d handle the rigors of a presidential campaign. Compare that to his potential 2020 rivals swarming states that kick off presidential voting: New York Sen. Kristen Gillibrand and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper will be in South Carolina this week, Booker is visiting Iowa and Warren is set to formally announce her presidential bid Saturday, then hit New Hampshire and Iowa. O’Rourke said he needed to spend time traveling alone to help overcome “a profound disappointment in myself that I let so many people down.” He said he emerged with the reinforced belief that “people are so good.” The Texas Democrat, who represented a border state in Congress for six years, also took aim at President Donald Trump’s push to build a border wall, calling it “a racist response to a problem that we don’t have.” Though the taping was Tuesday, the interview won’t air on Winfrey’s network until Feb. 16. After that, O’Rourke doesn’t have another headline-grabbing event on his schedule — at least not yet.

UN experts: North Korea nukes intact By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs “remain intact” and its leaders are dispersing missile assembly and testing facilities to prevent “decapitation” strikes, U.N. experts said in a new report. The experts’ report to the Security Council, seen Tuesday by The Associated Press, says the country continues to defy U.N. sanctions, including through “a massive increase in illegal ship-to-ship transfers of petroleum products and coal.” The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea — the country’s official name — also continues to violate an arms embargo, a ban on luxury goods and financial sanctions, the experts said. The report was sent to council members as U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing for a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
At their June summit in Singapore, Trump promised “security guarantees” to Pyongyang and Kim recommitted to the “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” But there were no signs in the experts’ report that Kim has taken any steps toward eliminating his nuclear arsenal or intercontinental ballistic missiles, which he boasted could reach the U.S. mainland. “The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs remain intact,” the experts said. “The panel found that the DPRK is using civilian facilities, including airports, for ballistic missile assembly and testing with the goal of effectively preventing ‘decapitation’ strikes,” they said. It also “found evidence of a consistent trend on the part of the DPRK to disperse the assembly, storage and testing locations.” The panel said it is continuing to investigate com-

panies, entities and individuals in Asia who are on the U.N. sanctions blacklist and “clandestinely procured centrifuges for the DPRK’s nuclear program” — and who attempted to sell “a wide range of military equipment to armed groups and governments in the Middle East and Africa.” The experts also painted a picture of continuing wide-ranging efforts by the
DPRK to evade U.N. sanctions. The massive increase in ship-to-ship transfers “render the latest United Nations sanctions ineffective by flouting the caps on the DPRK’s import of petroleum products and crude oil as well as the coal ban imposed in 2017 by the Security Council in response to the DPRK’s unprecedented nuclear and ballistic missile testing,” the experts said.
Hopes rise for border funding deal — if Trump will go along By ANDREW TAYLOR and ALAN FRAM Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Capitol Hill talks to resolve an impasse over President Donald Trump’s demands for billions of dollars for his long-sought border wall are inching forward, with lawmakers focused first on forging agreement among themselves — and less on satisfying Trump’s shifting demands. One such sign came Tuesday from Capitol Hill’s most powerful Republican, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who says he’s not seeking Trump’s blessing in advance of striking a deal on border security funding, a move that appears to remove a significant potential hurdle confronting the talks. McConnell told reporters that negotiators “ought to reach an agreement, and then we’ll hope that the president finds it worth signing.” That’s a break from his stance during the recent

35-day partial federal shutdown, when McConnell, R-Ky., insisted for weeks that Trump’s buy-in would be needed before any agreement could be reached. Trump is seeking $5.7 billion for a U.S.-Mexico border wall, but it’s clear that the House-Senate negotiations won’t approve nearly that much. The Senate put a $1.6 billion plan on the table last year, though many House liberals think even
that amount is too high. Government funding is set to expire on Feb. 16. The developments came in the hours before Trump’s annual State of the Union address, in which the president was sure to again call for his long-stalled border wall. At the same time, negotiators on the House-Senate panel sounded increasingly optimistic of reaching an agreement. The lead Sen-
ate GOP negotiator, Richard Shelby of Alabama, said he had a good conversation with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and that staff is making progress in behind-thescenes talks. “Both sides have moved,” Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said. “And hopefully we’re going to continue to see movement.” But if Tuesday’s developments increase the likelihood of an agreement among the pragmatic lawmakers dominating the talks — who are drawn from the deal-making appropriations committees — it could increase the risk that Trump might scuttle the entire effort if he’s not satisfied with the border-security package. Meanwhile, negotiators are leaning on bordersecurity experts to sort through their options. While Trump is insisting on physical structures like walls, fences and vehicular barriers, Democrats are focused more on next-generation scanners, additional manpower and help for detained migrants.
UK prime minister vows no return to hard border with Ireland
Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May speaks with business representatives in Belfast, northern Ireland, Tuesday. (Liam McBurney/PA via AP) By GREGORY KATZ and JILL LAWLESS Associated Press
LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May told business leaders in Northern Ireland on Tuesday that she is seeking changes to the U.K.’s withdrawal agreement with the European Union, but not the total removal of the Irish border provision that is the most contentious part of the deal. Seeking to ease fears about the return of customs
posts and vehicle checks, May said during a visit to Belfast that the British government is committed to preventing the construction of a physical border between EU member Ireland and the U.K.’s Northern Ireland after Britain leaves the European Union. The prime minister said she was in Belfast “to affirm my commitment to delivering a Brexit that ensures no return to a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland — which is unshakable.”

She also emphasized the government’s support for the Good Friday agreement, the 1998 treaty that largely ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland known as “the Troubles.” May’s words of reassurance did little to solve her Brexit border dilemma. Britain is scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, but no withdrawal agreement has been approved because Britain’s Parliament voted down May’s plan last month, in part because of concerns about the border plan, known as the backstop. It is a safeguard mechanism that would keep the U.K. in a customs union with the EU to remove the need for checks along the border until a permanent new trading relationship is in place. The border area was a flashpoint during the decades of conflict that cost
3,700 lives. The free flow of people and goods across the near-invisible border today underpins both the local economy and Northern Ireland’s peace process. But many pro-Brexit British lawmakers fear the backstop will trap Britain in regulatory lockstep with the EU, and say they won’t vote for the EU divorce deal unless it is removed. EU leaders, however, insist the withdrawal agreement the bloc struck with May’s government late last year can’t be reopened. “The withdrawal agreement is the best way to ensure an orderly withdrawal by the U.K,” Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said Tuesday. “We want the future relationship between the EU and the U.K. to be as close, comprehensive and ambitious as possible, so that the backstop will never be needed.”

US commander: IS hold in Syria, Iraq on verge of collapse WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is expected to declare near-total triumph over the Islamic State group in Syria in his State of the Union address Tuesday, but U.S. defense officials are increasingly fearful that the militants are simply biding their time until the Americans leave the battlefield as planned. IS militants have lost territory since Trump’s surprise announcement in December that he was pulling U.S. forces out, but military officials warn the fighters could regroup within six months to a year after the Americans leave. A Defense Department watchdog report released Monday warned of just such a possibility. The Islamic State group “remains a potent force of battle-hardened and well-disciplined fighters that ‘could likely resurge in Syria’ absent continued counterterrorism pressure,” the report from the inspector general said. The top commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, Gen. Joseph Votel, told a Senate committee on Tuesday that of the 34,000 square miles of territory that IS once held, it now controls less than 20 square miles. That figure includes a large swath of desert around Syria villages IS controls. “It is important to understand that even though this territory has been reclaimed, the fight against ISIS and violent extremists is not over and our mission has not changed,” Votel, commander of U.S. Central Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee. “The coalition’s hard-won battlefield gains can only be secured by maintaining a vigilant offensive against the now largely dispersed and disaggregated ISIS that retains leaders, fighters, facilitators, resources and the profane ideology that fuels their efforts.” Votel said there are now between 1,000 and 1,500 IS fighters in the small area they still control in the southern part of the Euphrates River Valley near the Iraqi border. The remainder, he said, have “dispersed” and “gone to ground,” suggesting they retain the potential to return. Trump’s decision to leave Syria, which he initially said would be rapid but later slowed down, shocked U.S. allies led to the resignations of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and the top envoy to the anti-IS coalition, Brett McGurk. Votel was asked at Tuesday’s hearing whether he was asked for his advice about a Syria withdrawal before Trump announced his decision. “I was not consulted,” the general said. The withdrawal will fulfill Trump’s goal of bringing troops home from Syria, but military leaders have pushed back for months, arguing that IS remains a threat and could regroup. U.S. policy has been to keep troops in place until the extremists are eradicated. Fears that IS fighters are making strategic maneuvers ahead of a U.S. pullout could also fuel criticism that Trump is telegraphing his military plans — the same thing he accused President Barack Obama of doing in Afghanistan. — The Associated Press

The big move to Alaska
Getting ready for the Big Move to Alaska and the things I sold that I miss today! I was going to write about all the snow we have and the hassle of us getting in and out of our yard. But I know everyone else is in the same position and does not want to hear anymore snow stories. I know I do not!! I would rather think about other things, so here is a story about long ago! July 9, 1967 Fort Collins Colorado — 52 years ago. I told my Dad and Mom I was moving to Alaska and that I was selling everything that I could not take with me — something no one else in my immediate family had never done. They were upset but did not try and talk me out of my decision. I sorted out clothing that was warm; I sorted out the things I could not take — which was a big decision on my part — as it took a long time for me to accumulate certain items that I cherished. I had a round oak table with the lion claw feet and four chairs with the original leather seats that I saved and saved and finally bought. And then I bought the buffet with the beveled mirror to go with it. I polished it every week end and kept it in perfect condition. It was so hard to part with it!! I had set of dishes that had the wheat pattern on them with a gold rim that I got out of either the Duz soup box or the oatmeal box. I had the whole set as my relatives and friends gave me what they had. I gave that to my sister in law Joyce. She also wanted my Hope Chest. I was glad it went to a good home. I had received it for a graduation present from Mom and Dad. The old green couch and chair that Mom gave us and served us well, I offered it back to Mom. She thought I was nuts! She told me to sell that OLD thing. I sold it with the covers I had ordered from Penny’s. They were the orange and red big flowers with green and white background, ones that I thought were so pretty! No one shared my adoration!! The white draperies went with them. The bunk beds and the rest of the bedroom furniture I had no trouble selling. I kept all the heavy blankets and one set of sheets for each bed. My car, I cannot remember but I think it was four-door green Dodge, I sold for $100 — just what I bought it for. Slowly, I was accumulating enough money to buy plane tickets to Alaska. I worked at the hospital until three days before we left. Mom helped me find three trunks to ship to Kenai with our clothing and bedding and some old school books I could not part with. I did not pack any cooking utensils — a big big mistake. Then after getting them locked and properly addressed to General Delivery, Kenai, Alaska, Mom and I and the kids went to Pierce, Colorado, where my Uncle Les was the Post Master. He weighed them, told me not to worry; he would see that they would be shipped. I paid him the postage. I also had made arrangements to store in his and Aunt Marion’s attic the little rocking chair that Mom had given me — I think that Mom had as a child. I also had the rocking chair that Grandma and Grandpa gave m, to store. Also, all of Jack’s fly-tying equipment and his fishing pole. See ANNIE, page A7

Rethinking Chicken Florentine with clearer, brighter flavours By America’S Test Kitchen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicken Florentine is a buffetline favourite featuring chicken breast and spinach in a mild cream-and-Parmesan sauce— sometimes stuffed inside, sometimes stacked on top. All of these components are good, but this dish can often be stodgy (think old-fashioned casserole) or fussy (involving dredging chicken in flour and sauteeing). We wanted a simplified recipe for an elegant dish with clearer, brighter flavours. Braising was the perfect technique to achieve this: For flavour, we seared the chicken breasts first, cooked aromatics and added our cooking liquid (a balanced mix of water and chicken broth enriched with a modest amount of cream), and then simmered the chicken in the reducing sauce until perfectly cooked. After we topped the tender chicken with some sauteed spinach and the cream sauce, it needed just a quick run under the broiler to become appealingly golden on top. We like tender, quick-cooking bagged baby spinach here if using curly-leaf spinach, chop it before cooking.
CHICKEN FLORENTINE Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 45 minutes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 12 ounces (12 cups) baby spinach 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed Salt and pepper 1 shallot, minced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 1/4 cups chicken broth 1 1/4 cups water 1 cup heavy cream 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 1 teaspoon juice Adjust oven rack to uppermiddle position and heat broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer spinach to colander set over bowl and press with spoon to release excess liquid discard liquid. Pat chicken breasts dry with

paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Wipe out pan with paper towels and heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over mediumhigh heat until just smoking. Cook chicken on both sides until golden, about 4 minutes. Add shallot and garlic to skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, water, and cream and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low
and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes transfer chicken to large plate and tent with aluminum foil. Continue to simmer sauce until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Off heat, stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan and lemon zest and juice. Cut breasts crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on broiler-safe platter. Scatter
spinach over chicken and pour sauce over spinach. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and broil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

A Dutch oven may be key to a better butternut squash soup for steaming the squash. The Dutch oven’s ample size provided plenty of room for steaming, and we could drop the squash in unpeeled and quartered, which cut out lots of prep time. To complete our soup, we scooped out the cooked squash from its skin and then pureed it with some of the strained steaming liquid for a perfectly smooth texture. Some heavy cream added richness, and a little brown sugar and curry powder balanced the squash’s earthy flavour. A tart apple, such as a Granny Smith, adds a nice contrast to the sweet squash, but any type of apple may be used.
CURRIED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND APPLE SOUP

Butternut squash soup is a fall staple, but many recipes fail to live up to their potential, ending up too sweet or with too little squash flavour—plus, prepping
the squash can be time-consuming and unwieldy. We found the solution to these problems in our Dutch oven. We sauteed a shallot in butter with the reserved squash seeds and fibers before adding water for a flavourful, squash-enhanced liquid that we then used
Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 1 hour, 15 minutes 6 slices hearty white sandwich bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (3 cups) 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Salt and pepper 1 large shallot, chopped 2 1/2 pounds butternut squash, quartered and seeded, fibers and seeds reserved 6 cups water 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and quartered 1/2cup heavy cream 2 teaspoons curry powder 1 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 F. Toss bread with melted butter, season with salt and pepper,
and spread onto rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through baking. Set aside to cool. (Croutons can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.) Melt 2 tablespoons butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in squash seeds and fibers and cook until butter turns orange, about 4 minutes. Stir in water and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to simmer. Place squash, cut side down, and apple in steamer basket and lower basket into pot. Cover and steam until completely tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Using tongs, transfer squash to rimmed baking sheet. Let squash cool slightly, then scrape flesh from skin using soupspoon discard skin. Strain cooking liquid through fine-mesh strainer into bowl. Working in batches, process squash and 3 cups strained cooking liquid in blender until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes, then return to clean pot. Stir in cream, curry powder, sugar, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and bring to brief simmer over medium-low heat. Adjust consistency as needed with remaining strained cooking liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

We said our goodbyes and headed to Mom and Dad’s house to stay the night, as the next day we were headed to Alaska. It would be my very first trip on an airplane and also my first trip out of the state of Colorado — besides visits to Wyoming to Jacks folks in Rawlins, Wyoming, and a visit when I was 13 to Kansas to stay with my Aunt Laura and Uncle Fenton and their eight boys. Now THAT was a trip I will never forget!! (Another story!) That evening I went over to clean up the little pink log house and leave it like I had rented it — spic and span! My sister-in-law Joyce helped me. She was a great cleaner. I said goodbye to the best landlords and my neighbors, whom I had grown fond of. I had packed three suit cases. One with the kids’ clothes. One with winter clothes, boots, hats and gloves that Mom had bought. One was my clothes and a few odd things. On top of each suitcase before we closed them was a blanket and a pillow for each of us. I also tucked into my purse a $100 — all I had when I paid all the bills and bought the airplane ticket. Mom fixed fried chicken and smashed potatoes with her good gravy for supper. Chocolate cake for dessert. Kids had the baths, clothes laid out for the big trip — Mom had bought a wool suit for David and warm coats for them all so we would be warm getting off the airplane in Alaska! The sisters and brother came the next morning and gave the kids big sacks of candy for the long trip. I told them all goodbye and please come and see me!! Then told Mom goodbye and that is when Dad gave me his speech. With tears welling up in his eyes and spilling out over his big cheeks, he said, “I do not know why you are going to Alaska — it’s the land of iceberg, Eskimos and igloos — I probably will never see you and kids ever again!” Not knowing what to say, I gave him a big hug. The kids hugged him and grandma one more time and we climbed into brother Jim’s brand-new Pontiac GTO for my first trip to the Denver airport and my first time on an airplane. AND THE REST IS HISTORY!!
SPOON PUDDIN’ WITH APPLES In a mixing bowl: 1 cup each sugar, flour 1/4 cup butter 1 beaten egg 2 1/2 cups chopped tart apples Stir together and put in buttered or oiled cast iron skillet. Put lid on, and place on wood stove top and put a larger pan over top — I use a lasagna pan. Bake 2 hours. Spoon into bowls and pour milk over and sprinkle with sugar and a shake of cinnamon. This is good with other fruits — especially Alaskan blueberries… enjoy! P.S. Bake in oven for one hour with lid on if you do not have your woodstove going!
MEXICAN CHICKEN STEW In a 6-quart glass pot or a stainless pot: Brown in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 chopped onion 1 tablespoon minced garlic Stir in: 1 teaspoon each cinnamon, chili powder, cumin
Add: 1 can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes 1 can chicken broth 1 cup celery 1 cup zucchini, optional 1 cup frozen corn 1 tablespoon jalapenos chopped 1/2 teaspoon oregano Place four chicken breasts cut in fours into the broth mixture. Place lid on pot and put on woodstove for 3 or 4 hours. (Or in the oven for 1 hour). Serve in individual bowls with shredded cheese and minced onion for garnish.
ITALIAN CHICKEN In a skillet: Place 1 pound of chicken thighs, boneless and skinless Cover with: 1 jar or can of meatless spaghetti sauce of your choice 1 can sliced mushrooms 1 onion cut in chunks 1 cup of water, more or less Let simmer on woodstove for 3 to 4 hours or in the oven covered for 1 hour. Serve with hot Rotelle pasta or spaghetti noodles.
Peanut blossom cookies with a more robust peanut flavour By America’S Test Kitchen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Peanut blossom cookies first gained notoriety at the 1957 Pillsbury Bake-Off. They’re simply a peanut butter cookie topped with a Hershey’s Kiss. We started with the original recipe and made tweaks to it with the goal of achieving a more robust peanut flavour. Adding more peanut butter didn’t do the trick. We tried swapping chunky peanut butter for the creamy, but tasters disliked the craggy texture it gave these cookies. We got the best peanut flavour when we replaced a portion of the flour with roasted peanuts, which we ground finely in the food processor so they wouldn’t compromise the cookie’s texture. Most recipes recommend pressing the kisses into the cookies immediately after baking, but the warm cookies softened the kisses too much, and they took 4 hours to firm up again—longer than we were willing to wait to indulge. Strangely enough, we found that placing the chocolates on the cookies during the last 2 minutes of baking helped them firm up more quickly. Why? It turns out that a little direct heat stabilizes and sets the exterior of the chocolate, and the kisses were firm enough to eat after the cookies had cooled for just 2 hours. Any Hershey’s Kiss—dark, milk, white, or “Hugs”—works in this recipe.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When it is boiling, throw the spaghetti in. Most dried spaghetti takes 9 to 10 minutes to cook, and you can make the sauce in that time. Cut the bacon crosswise into pieces about 1/2 inch wide. Put them in a skillet and cook for 2 minutes until fat begins to render. Add the whole cloves of garlic and cook another 5 minutes, until the edges of the bacon just begin to get crisp. Do not overcook; if they are too crisp, they won’t meld with the pasta. Meanwhile, break the eggs into a bowl you will serve the pasta in, and beat them with a fork. Add some grindings of pepper. Remove the garlic from the bacon pan. If it looks like too much fat to you, discard some, but you’re going to toss the bacon with most of it’s fat into the pasta. When it is cooked, drain the pasta and immediately throw it into the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly. The heat of the spaghetti will cook the eggs and turn them into a sauce. Add the bacon with its fat, toss again, add cheese and serve.

CIA hoops split games By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
The Cook Inlet Academy basketball teams split a pair of nonconference games Monday night with Sand Point. The games finished after the Clarion went to press. In the boys game, Sand Point beat CIA 52-40, while the CIA girls prevailed 3724. Mason Ziegler dropped 19 points to lead the CIA boys and teammate Joshua Boyd added 11. Karl Smith scored a game-high 21 points for Sand Point. A 17-5 start for Sand Point provided all the cushion it needed, as both teams scored 35 points each over the last three quarters. In the girls contest, Anna Cizek and Adara Warren paced a well-balanced offensive attack for CIA with 11 points each. CIA got off to a hot start with a 14-4 lead thanks to seven foul shots taken by Warren, but Sand Point got back into it in the third quarter, cutting the gap back to 27-22.
However, Cook Inlet clamped down on defense in the final quarter by outscoring Sand Point 10-2 in the final eight minutes. The boys and girls games scheduled Tuesday between Nikolavsk and Cook Inlet Academy were cancelled due to team illness, according to head coach Steve Klaich. Monday boys

NBA Commish adds Dirk, Wade to All-Star By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer
MIAMI — Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki and Miami’s Dwyane Wade are both NBA champions, NBA Finals MVPs and longtime ambassadors for the game of basketball. And now, one more time, they’re All-Stars. By special order of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Wade and Nowitzki were added Friday to the pool of players for the All-Star
Game that will be played in Charlotte on Feb. 17. Each team will now have 13 players instead of the customary 12, and LeBron James — one of the captains — will be the one who decides which side Wade and Nowitzki will be joining. Wade said he reached out to Silver to thank him for the gesture. “I appreciated my fans for voting for me, but I didn’t want to be put in position to take a roster spot

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Admiral Schofield and Grant Williams scored 13 points each as No. 1 Tennessee defeated Missouri 7260 on Tuesday night to extend its school-record winning streak to 17 games. Tennessee (21-1, 9-0 SEC) has the longest active winning streak of any Division I team. This latest victory also enabled Rick Barnes to match the longest winning streak of his 32-year head coaching career.

For the commissioner to create that opportunity for Dirk and myself, it’s cool. I appreciate it more getting in this way, so I’ll be there.” Silver, in a statement released by the league, lauded what Nowitzki and Wade have meant to the game. “Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade embody the best of the NBA: remarkable skill, drive and professionalism as well as a deep devotion to strengthening their communities and growing the game around the world,” Silver said.

McVay, Goff focusing on Rams future By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — The Los Angeles Rams have plenty of offseason work to do. Thanks to their run to the Super Bowl, they have a relatively short amount of time to do it. Sean McVay professes to love few things more than his next challenge, and the coach is already hitting the Rams’ offseason tasks with extra motivation from the humbling experience of Los
Angeles’ 13-3 loss to the New England Patriots in Atlanta. “If you can’t handle getting gut-punched and responding, this business probably isn’t for you,” a typically energized McVay said Tuesday at the Rams’ training complex. “That’s the only way that I know how to respond as a coach. I know our coaching staff feels that way. I know our players feel that way, and that’s what’s powerful. ... If things are always easy, you
never get a chance to get tested and find out.” McVay said he isn’t ready for a vacation, and he already has a lengthy to-do list. The Rams must replace quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor, who took over as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday. McVay is heading to the NFL scouting combine in three weeks, and he will play a role in general manager Les Snead’s numerous roster decisions to be made
within the compressed timeframe of evaluation before free agency opens next month. “When you do go this late into the season, which is certainly a blessing, we’re really far behind with a lot of the things that typically take place,” McVay said. The NFC champions were mostly upbeat while they cleaned out their lockers Tuesday, but the Super Bowl defeat will take weeks to fade.

Three’s too crowded for wife in ‘shades of grey’ marriage want for your future, you wouldn’t be writing to me. You asked for my opinion, and here it is: Let your husband be himself, permit yourself to be YOURSELF and while you’re doing that, consult a divorce lawyer. DEAR ABBY: I have a really bad fear of babies Abigail Van Buren and toddlers. My brother’s wife just had a second child, and I can’t stand being around them. I get really bad anxiety, so I avoid them. His first child is 8, but she is disabled and is like a toddler. I get freaked out around her, too. When they come over, I go outside or into my room and hide. On top of that, my sister is pregnant and living here with me and our parents. I’m only 17, so I can’t move out. It’s hard enough when my brother visits with his kids, but if one lives with me, I know I’m gonna lose it. I’m too afraid to talk to my parents about this. -- LOSING IT IN THE WEST DEAR LOSING IT: You are NOT going to lose it. You ARE going to talk with your parents about this because you cannot keep hiding
in your room forever. The longer you do, the higher your level of anxiety will become. Have you any idea why you feel the way you do about babies and toddlers? Is it their size, their fragility, the sound of their voices? You may need help from a licensed therapist to get past this. (Some individuals do.) It’s important that you understand what is driving this panic because, if you don’t, you will find yourself increasingly isolated as your friends and relatives start families. DEAR ABBY: Our high school-age daughter has a great group of friends. They often spend the night at each other’s houses for sleepovers. It’s usually two to four girls sharing rooms and beds. My dilemma is that one of her friends is a gay boy. She asked if he could stay over. After some thought, our response was that he could, but in a separate bed. What would your answer have been? -- NOT IN THE PARENTING HANDBOOK DEAR NOT: Mine would have been the same as yours, if only for the sake of “propriety.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019: This year, you enjoy gentler and more rewarding communication with close associates and loved ones. They did not change: You’ve changed. If single, you draw in many new people. Think before you jump into a relationship. If attached, the two of you seem much more closely bonded than in the recent past. PISCES shares welcome comments about how you interact with each other. 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) HHH A conversation or interaction of some sort could delight you to no end. You like how you feel and decide not to share this interaction. Enjoy your mellow feelings while keeping a low-key attitude in other parts of your life. Tonight: Not to be found. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Zero in on a long-term wish. You might become involved in a lively discussion with a dear friend. Consider getting together for munchies instead of chatting on the phone. You might be on the verge of passing an important benchmark in your life. Tonight: Hang with friends. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Accept that you cannot always be center stage, though you might be today and would prefer otherwise. You might not be up for taking the lead on a project and being closely observed. Smile to get past this moment with success. Tonight: Be a friend first. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Make the effort to look at an evolving situation in terms of the big picture. Define what you want and do the same for anyone else involved. You’ll come up with great solutions and ideas. Tonight: A compliment adds to your glow and appeal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Be willing to allow a partner or loved one to dominate. Your strong personality often prevents others from stepping up. You might be delighted by how the other party responds to an issue. Find a way of complimenting this person. Tonight: As you like. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others make it clear that they will take charge and make needed decisions.
Rubes
By Leigh Rubin
If you have vested interests, express them in a way the other party can hear. Do not try to bully this person into taking action. Tonight: Opt to be a duo. Start with dinner. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Emphasize the job at hand and how to proceed. You could want to act, but a co-worker or friend moves in quickly. Be happy not to carry the weight of this issue. Spend time clearing out calls and emails. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH A creative and caring outlook toward a key person in your life activates interesting discussions. You might wonder how you got to the point of treating this person with kid gloves. Wonder less and just do it. Tonight: You might like someone’s way of saying “thank you.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might feel tense and not understand why. However, you express your positive feelings in an upbeat manner. Ask yourself how you express your negative feelings. A child or loved one delights you with his or her caring. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You come from a solid base and ask valid questions. How you state your questions could make all the difference in how they’re answered. Be gentle and unbiased. You could be surprised at what comes out. Tonight: Slow down and do what you want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You have been eyeing an item you have wanted for a long time. Decide you deserve it, and make the purchase. Your mood will change as a result. Once in a while, you need to say “thank you” to yourself, as you give 100 percent in whatever you do. Tonight: Don’t shy away from a new friend or loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You have the ability to draw a key person toward you. Standing on ceremony or being awkward in his or her presence does not really work. More than most signs, you understand the importance of being authentic. Tonight: Buy a special item for a loved one on the way home.

TOO MUCH WAFFLE BATTER Dear Heloise: I never know how hungry my boys will be (husband and four sons), so I always make a large amount of waffle batter on Sunday mornings. The problem is, I usually make too much. What can I do with all that leftover batter? -- Willow C., Watertown, Conn. Willow, make the rest of the batter into waffles, then wrap them up so they’re airtight and freeze them. When you want a snack, just pop one in the toaster. -- Heloise SLIP-SLIDE Dear Heloise: My mixer bowl slides all over when I’m using it. How can I stop that? -- Jennie L., Telluride, Colo. Jennie, place a damp washcloth or towel under the mixing bowl. -- Heloise MESSAGE CENTER Dear Heloise: I want a bulletin board in my kitchen, but I don’t have the wall space. Got any hints to help me with this one? -- Amber K., Hungry Horse, Mont. Amber, get some chalkboard paint and paint either the inside or outside of one of your upper cabinets, and you’ll have a message center. -- Heloise PERCOLATOR Dear Heloise: My percolator is still in good condition, except that the glass knob doesn’t fit tightly anymore. What can I do about this? -- Margaret, Ivanhoe, Mich. Margaret, wrap a strip or two of aluminum foil around the bottom of the knob until it fits snugly, or go to an appliance repair store or perhaps a hardware store to see about a replacement knob. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married to my best friend for nine years. We have our ups and downs, but we’re generally happy. When “Fifty Shades of Grey” came out, I told him I was interested in exploring that scene. He was thrilled because he’s always been in the lifestyle but was afraid to scare me away. Fast forward four years: I no longer wish to be part of it. It’s not for me. I agreed to have a live-in submissive with the understanding that she leaves if I say so. But he’s now calling me selfish for suggesting it be only the two of us. He has no intention of ever changing it. She helps him with his company, which is also lifestyle-related, and claims he can’t do it without her. Their relationship is nonsexual. Am I selfish for wanting a normal marriage again? He gave me the master bedroom to myself and says that’s the compromise and I need to let him be him. What’s your opinion? -- WRONG TURN IN HOUSTON DEAR WRONG TURN: Wait a minute! If your husband can’t run his company without this woman, then I have to wonder who is the submissive. If sleeping in an empty master bedroom while he sleeps in another and has a “nonsexual” relationship with this person is what you

After 3 tries Dave Turner with his team’s coach “Pluto” wins their 1st T-200 championship.)
With every weather condition Alaska has to offer, except severe cold, the mushers in the 32nd running of the Tustumena 200 Sled Dog Race (also known as the T-200 or Tusty-200) persevered.
With rain and slushy conditions in Soldotna mushers brought their teams on Friday, Jan. 25 to the Soldotna Regional Sports Center for the mandatory pre-race veterinarian check. Dr. Pam May-Ross, a veterinarian
from Hope, returned for the vet-check this year. “The first year I worked this race was 2012 and it was -30 degrees out there the morning of the start and here today it’s more like 38 above, but we’re here today
to be sure all the dogs are good to go,” she said. In examining the dogs, Dr. Ross said she follows a HAWL protocol. “‘H’ stands for the heart and hydration — we want to be sure they have a strong heart rate with no murmurs and that they are well hydrated for the race. ‘A’ stands for attitude and appetite — we want to be sure they are happy and perky and eating well. The ‘W’ stands for weight — we look at their body condition to be sure they have ample body weight to run the race. It takes a lot of calories to run 200 miles and make it to the end. And the ‘L’ stands for lungs. We listen to their lungs and make sure that they don’t have any kind of crackles, wheezes or lung conditions. “One of the concerns on the trail is aspiration pneumonia, so we listen carefully to be sure their lungs

sound good,” she said. Ross also said they do a thorough orthopedic exam checking all joints for flexibility. “If they are sensitive to me manipulating their legs or indicate a soreness it tells me there may be a problem. We then check their spine and neck to see they have a good range of motion and if everything checks out they get the green light to go. So far everybody looks great and has gotten the green light,” she said. Iditarod champion and cancer survivor Lance Mackey’s team was getting itself check out at the vet. “My kennel base started here back in 2001 and since 2006. I’ve lived in Fairbanks so it’s hard to get back, but it’s justifiable because the T-200 is one of my all-time favorite races. The people here are the
Some 34 vendors offer services for those in need at Project Homeless Connect.
The good news is there was a great turnout for the 7th Annual Project Homeless Connect held Jan. 23 at the Soldotna Regional Sports Center. The bad news is there was a great turnout for this year’s Project Homeless Connect (PHC) as the needs of the peninsula’s vulnerable population seem to be increasing. “It’s a day out of the cold where participants are served lunch have a chance to visit with people from the community and agencies with services available. They can leave with a fresh haircut, sleeping bag or fresh socks, a shower and laundry voucher so they can wash their clothes. Things
that most of us take for granted everyday are hard to come by when you’re living in a tent or your car,” said LOVE Inc. Executive Director Leslie Rohr. According to Rohr, some 34 vendors volunteered to participate in this year’s event — offering services
that included foot care, veterinarian care for pets and hand massages. “Just about anything that people need for a day to feel good. A day for those who are homeless or near homeless to be able to sit down at table and eat lunch with folks who can help

meet their needs and maybe give them that hand up to start a better life. It was a refreshing day for the vul-
nerable in our community to have their spirits lifted. Our hope is these folks will make contact with agencies that are available here on the Peninsula and that they will continue to stay in contact with them and receive the services that they need. This is one day of the year, but these folks are facing challenges every day throughout the year until their life turns around.” One hundred twenty-six individuals participated in the PHC event. The total household number based on participant input was 318. There were a total of six pets accompanying participants during the event. A total of 56 percent reported this was their first time participating in the Kenai Peninsula Project Homeless Connect event.

best and the scenery here and in the Caribou Hills the variety of trails is spectacular,” said Mackey. His team finished seventh this year, and said he was happy with the way his new puppies ran and that he will be running again this year in the Iditarod. Three-time Iditarod champion and Sterling resident Mitch Seavey’s team finished fifth, and Mitch was looking strong and feeling good at the awards luncheon. “I was very pleased with the way the dogs ran this race. It was a great trail, a good time and I really want to thank everyone that puts on this great event. It’s a huge community effort and the mushers all appreciate it. We brought four teams from our kennel this year and all of them did really, really well and enjoyed getting on some different trails, which are superb in the Caribou Hills. “Grassroots, hometown events like the T-200, I feel, is the future for dog mushing. Events where people love dogs, their neighborhoods whether it be thousands of square miles like in Kotzebue. I’m looking for the pendulum to swing back to our grassroots in society where people get tired of all the technology and want to experience re-

ality and hands-on love of life and dogs — where you get some fur and slobber on you but you get back in touch with your roots. This is a wonderful sport that brings people who are thick in the heart together and reminds us of what is good in life,” said Seavey. Perseverance was a word used to describe this year’s Tusty-200 first-time champion Dave Turner, who brought his best friend and lead dog coach “Pluto” along with him to the awards banquet. “The trail through every condition at us you could imagine except for wind and cold. It was a pretty tricky run but really well marked. The rain let up and the trail presented lots of challenges like tight corners on down hills, but my team was totally ready for this race because it’s massive hills nonstop, really a fun race. “It’s my dogs that get all the credit — they do the work. I try to help them but they are the athletes. Our dogs are loose all the time and train with lots of free running. We try to make it as fun as possible for the dogs running in the team. They all love what we are doing and we finish before they get too tired so they always have more energy and want to keep running. My dogs are all serious house pets, but they love running and this is one of the best races anywhere,” said Turner.
